00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision brought to the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:20It's just crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:23All the hours are full. We've got three more critical things coming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:29I can't leave this long. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:51You think it?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:56Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:01:00The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:02Improve yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.
00:01:06Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Add some bomb scissors.
00:01:20Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:24That procedure?
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Well, the coterie?
00:01:31Watch.
00:01:33He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:38The bleeding.
00:01:39It's under control.
00:01:40But how's the...
00:01:41It took suture?
00:01:42Parker, I want you to clamp it exactly where I show you.
00:01:45I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:46Almost done.
00:01:47I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:48Almost done.
00:01:52This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:17What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:18Wait.
00:02:19I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical
00:02:45procedures in Mass General.
00:02:46Is that you?
00:02:47Final suture.
00:02:48Ms. Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:02:52Doctor!
00:02:53The nurses!
00:02:54They said you did it.
00:02:55And you...
00:02:56You actually did.
00:02:57Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:02:58Every surgeon on the west coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live.
00:03:04But you...
00:03:05You saved my Catherine.
00:03:06You should make the full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:07Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:08We need you at Bale.
00:03:09My hospital.
00:03:10My hospital.
00:03:11I'll explain later.
00:03:12Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:15It's gonna take hours.
00:03:16Y'all should go home.
00:03:17Get some rest.
00:03:18I'll explain later.
00:03:19Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:22It's gonna take hours.
00:03:23Y'all should go home.
00:03:24Get some rest.
00:03:25I'll take over from here.
00:03:26Okay.
00:03:27Good work, everyone.
00:03:29Name your price.
00:03:29Whatever it is, we need you at bail.
00:03:32My husband.
00:03:35I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42I should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:03:59I'll take over from here.
00:04:22They're all stable.
00:04:24Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming out.
00:04:34You must have operated all night.
00:04:36You're a machine.
00:04:37Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:40All right.
00:04:41It's time for some much-needed Jedi.
00:04:44All right.
00:04:59Hey, you.
00:05:03Hey, yourself.
00:05:06I've been operating all night.
00:05:08I've been every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:11It was extraordinary.
00:05:14How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:18Because I know you.
00:05:20Better than anyone.
00:05:21Do you remember?
00:05:28You did anything?
00:05:29You remember.
00:05:31First of it.
00:05:33You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:38I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:42It just feels different.
00:05:43It's the third time this week.
00:05:53Possibly he's better than someone else's.
00:05:55Hmm.
00:05:57So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:59His surgical skills are unreal.
00:06:00Sure.
00:06:01I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:02I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:06With a town like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department.
00:06:08What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:19Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:25Who is this guy?
00:06:28Preston Bale.
00:06:29Preston Bale's son.
00:06:30Harvard MBA.
00:06:31He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:35who just recovered from an experimental and creatico duo.
00:06:38Would you like it to me?
00:06:39I'm sorry.
00:06:40Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:46Hard style based on your behavior.
00:06:48Sir, about like...
00:06:49Save it.
00:06:51Parker.
00:06:53You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:56You're fired.
00:06:57They're at your office.
00:06:59New management means new standards.
00:07:02It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:04Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:07:10If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:17No complications, no deaths.
00:07:20This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:24Who's he thinking is, Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:30Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:33Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:36This is a hospital.
00:07:39We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:43That's from my residency direction.
00:07:45Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:47Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients, a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:54You're fired.
00:07:55Excuse me?
00:07:56Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop, just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:01Yes, sir.
00:08:02Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snowblow?
00:08:06That was good.
00:08:07Let's go.
00:08:12Well, well, well.
00:08:13What do we have here?
00:08:16Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:19Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:25Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:27No, you didn't.
00:08:29But here's one anyway.
00:08:30You are fired!
00:08:34Are you serious?
00:08:36You're firing me?
00:08:37Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
00:08:41Well, no.
00:08:42There must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:44Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:46He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Bell.
00:08:52What's he make?
00:08:53700,000.
00:08:55That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:57700?
00:08:58Are you insane?
00:09:00You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:03This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:05I just worked all night.
00:09:08I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:09Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:12Seen lazy doctors.
00:09:13This is criminal negligence.
00:09:16What were you thinking?
00:09:17Hiring this fraud.
00:09:18Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons?
00:09:20Or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:23Adrian and I might be sleeping together.
00:09:26But I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:28My career comes first.
00:09:30Boy, why?
00:09:32There must be some clerical error.
00:09:33These credentials.
00:09:36Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:39Fiona.
00:09:41Dr. Marksman.
00:09:44You are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:49Clear out your office.
00:09:51Clear out your locker.
00:09:53Get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:55This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:57You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:58You don't get to bring that.
00:09:59I see.
00:10:09Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:12You don't understand.
00:10:13He's the one who...
00:10:14Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:16Beat it.
00:10:18Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation.
00:10:20Okay, don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:21I understand.
00:10:42Hospital politics.
00:10:43Look, I know it's only been a lock, but there is something real between us.
00:10:48Meet me in the lock after your shift.
00:10:51I'll be waiting.
00:10:59You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:01For a home like this, four attendings dismissed in one day, patient care will suffer.
00:11:13Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:15I intend to wield it.
00:11:17Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:21Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:24No, Preston.
00:11:25He means nothing to me.
00:11:27Really.
00:11:28I have no personal stake in your staffing association.
00:11:29Just to be clear about your future here, do you want to be with the nobody collecting
00:11:35unemployment checks or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:43The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:47Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:59Hey, Dad, what's wrong?
00:12:02Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:04She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:09And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:12Of course, what is it?
00:12:13That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:19Dr. Marksman?
00:12:20Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:23Get out of my hospital.
00:12:25Christ.
00:12:26The resident I just fired?
00:12:29President?
00:12:30Are you there?
00:12:32Check the staff roster.
00:12:33Um, see if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:36I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:42He's the surgeon who saved her mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:48The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:57Ah, yes, I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:01Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:05Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:10Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:12Is this what you mean, Dad?
00:13:13That's our man.
00:13:14There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:19Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:21Do me a favor.
00:13:22Fire him.
00:13:24Already done, Dad.
00:13:25I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:28Thank God.
00:13:29Almost thought I fired our starved surgeon.
00:13:32Good work, son.
00:13:33I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:37Just take care of mom, all right?
00:13:39I got everything else under control.
00:13:48See?
00:13:49I told you that the slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:51Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:56Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:58Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:59Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:01Six-car pilot.
00:14:02You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:03What's your point?
00:14:04ER is crashing.
00:14:06We have no one left who can handle it.
00:14:07Give me the situation.
00:14:15Now.
00:14:16Six critical traumas.
00:14:18Three more incoming.
00:14:19Multiple crush injuries.
00:14:21Arterial bleeds, sir.
00:14:22We're losing patients.
00:14:24What are our options?
00:14:26Maybe one solution?
00:14:27Well?
00:14:28Spit it out.
00:14:29You're marksman.
00:14:30He had four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:32If we can get him back here.
00:14:34Marksman.
00:14:35Right.
00:14:36That's the man we need.
00:14:36Fiona, call him.
00:14:38Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:40The genius surgeon.
00:14:41The one I didn't fire.
00:14:42Keep up.
00:14:48What the hell?
00:14:50Where did all this stuff go?
00:14:51The idiot left his research notes.
00:15:09Mmm.
00:15:10Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:13Wait.
00:15:15This is revolutionary procedures.
00:15:17Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:25Hello?
00:15:26Dr. Marksman?
00:15:27Multiple critical traumas in ER.
00:15:29Custom details is if you can handle this crisis.
00:15:32It's a monster motion waiting.
00:15:34I'm on my way.
00:15:35With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:42They'll make me department head.
00:15:45And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:53Well?
00:15:54Dr. Marksman's on this way?
00:15:56Thank God.
00:15:56Thank God.
00:15:56Thank God.
00:15:58Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:10Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:12I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:14You're my future.
00:16:16That's my girl.
00:16:17Beyond the shift in it an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:30To hell with this.
00:16:32I'm going out.
00:16:32Piece of shit.
00:16:52Get your hand on my girl.
00:16:56Oh, knock it off.
00:16:57Adrian, you mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:03You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:07I can choose who I want.
00:17:08And I don't want to display surgeon with no future.
00:17:11You pathetic loser.
00:17:27We're done, Adrian.
00:17:30Ancient history.
00:17:32Are you serious?
00:17:34Just like that.
00:17:36Sorry that this bum knickled your jacket, sir.
00:17:41Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:43Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:45I need someone of the future.
00:17:47Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:54Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:56It's as close as you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:18:03Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:05I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:18:08And you?
00:18:11Just a slacker.
00:18:13And scrubs.
00:18:14You're washed out, marksman.
00:18:16Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:18I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:21Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
00:18:23I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:26Get over yourself.
00:18:29You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:33President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:39We're done.
00:18:40I'm not done.
00:18:43But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:48You can count on that.
00:18:52I don't know.
00:18:53Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:55Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:57Who authorizes you to be here?
00:19:03Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:09from the multi-car accident.
00:19:11And the situation is completely under control.
00:19:13You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:15Aye, it's the very same.
00:19:17My father mentioned your...
00:19:19Deceptual credentials.
00:19:21Harder medical, father?
00:19:23These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:29As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be cheap with surgery by next month.
00:19:33Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:39He was sleeping.
00:19:40A patient almost died on the table.
00:19:43Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:53Dr. Hart.
00:19:55Incredible news.
00:19:56Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:20:01he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:04When?
00:20:05Less than an hour ago.
00:20:07Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:10Huh?
00:20:11Amazing.
00:20:13I pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prize surgeon
00:20:18was fired by his submental son.
00:20:21With respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:24Or would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:29We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:32Full department autonomy.
00:20:34Research funding.
00:20:36State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:39And if necessary,
00:20:41my personal involvement.
00:20:42His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:47Have my car brought round.
00:20:49I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:52An atrium worksman?
00:20:54He's leaving with me.
00:20:55What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:05Don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:07A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:10The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:12Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:13This is crazy.
00:21:15You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:17And when a complication occurs,
00:21:19which happened in this hospital
00:21:21under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:24you blame me.
00:21:27The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:29isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:32If you were even half the surgeon that you claimed to be,
00:21:35you would still have a job.
00:21:38I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine
00:21:40with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:41Security, please detain him.
00:21:43What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:51Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:54or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:56for criminal negligence.
00:21:58Adrian, I never realized
00:22:00you were capable of indagering patients.
00:22:03What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:05You better confess now
00:22:06or we'll do everything in your power
00:22:08to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:11Come on.
00:22:13Go ahead.
00:22:14Do your worst.
00:22:16Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:17holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:21You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:26Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:27can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:30Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:32that we make an example out of him.
00:22:34After all, he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:36wherever he goes.
00:22:37Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:40Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:42I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:46As of this moment,
00:22:48Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:51and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:53Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:55Do you know what that means?
00:22:57It means that you will never practice medicine
00:23:00in this country again.
00:23:01I have one question before I go.
00:23:06Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:09My father's the one who asked me to fire you,
00:23:11you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:23:18Security, remove this criminal
00:23:20from hospital property immediately.
00:23:22Immediately.
00:23:23It is good.
00:23:24And away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:40Let him go.
00:23:41Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:46as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:48at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:50I know you.
00:23:54You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:55the surgical upstart
00:23:56from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:59That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:24:02Mr. Vail.
00:24:03Vivian,
00:24:04I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium,
00:24:06like four or five years ago.
00:24:08What are you doing here?
00:24:09Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon
00:24:12in the country, of course.
00:24:13Wait, are you seriously suggesting
00:24:17this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:19He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:22Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:23discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:26Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:28of medical excellence,
00:24:30not petty politics.
00:24:33Dr. Hart, with all due respect.
00:24:36This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:39Someone in your position should recognize
00:24:40when to maintain silence.
00:24:41Dr. Hart must inform you
00:24:44that Dr. Marksman represents
00:24:46a serious liability.
00:24:47He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:50I don't believe I requested
00:24:51your medical opinion, Dr. Marksman.
00:24:54David Marksman.
00:24:55I have neither time nor interest
00:24:57in your assessment.
00:25:00After he decided to go to sleep,
00:25:03we had critical surgical complication.
00:25:06His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:08His actions not only endangered patients,
00:25:10it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:12Are you really willing to defend someone
00:25:16who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:19Did you actually consult with your father
00:25:20before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:23Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:27He's the one who specifically mentioned
00:25:29his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:30and inflated reputation.
00:25:33Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:35Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:37His exact words were,
00:25:39remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:41President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:43This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:44Please, Adrian.
00:25:46The president wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:48a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:50Those gala invitations were professional courtesy,
00:25:54not genuine respect.
00:25:55Well, if that's the way things work at Vail,
00:25:57I have nothing more to contribute
00:25:59to any of you.
00:26:01Dr. Marksman,
00:26:02would you consider joining
00:26:03Heart Medical Center
00:26:04as our chief of surgery?
00:26:07Well, I...
00:26:08Full department upon me.
00:26:10Protected research time.
00:26:12A surgical fellowship in your name.
00:26:14And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:17And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:47And, Cash,
00:26:49Dr. Marksman,
00:26:51I want you to revolutionize
00:26:52our surgery program.
00:26:54Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:57I mean what I say.
00:27:04Chief of surgery?
00:27:08You're offering all this to
00:27:09a surgeon who can't even keep
00:27:11his eyes open on the job?
00:27:13Dr. Heart,
00:27:14have you completely lost
00:27:15your medical judgment
00:27:16or are you on drugs?
00:27:18This is absurd.
00:27:20He was a mediocre surgeon
00:27:21here at Vail.
00:27:22And now you're positioning him
00:27:24to lead your entire
00:27:25surgical department?
00:27:28The medical board should review
00:27:29your hiring practices.
00:27:32Vivian,
00:27:33I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:37This isn't about money.
00:27:38Maybe there's something beyond
00:27:41professional opportunity
00:27:43that might interest you.
00:27:44She's offering herself
00:27:45up to him.
00:27:46She can't do that.
00:27:48Are you a doctor
00:27:49or a call girl?
00:27:50At our medical center,
00:27:52you will be given
00:27:53everything a surgeon
00:27:54of your caliber deserves.
00:27:56Including
00:27:56a boss that would do
00:27:58absolutely anything
00:27:59to recognize your value.
00:28:01And I didn't mean anything,
00:28:03Dr. Marksman.
00:28:03Dr. Heart,
00:28:08for the sake
00:28:08of your own reputation,
00:28:10you need to know
00:28:10that this hack
00:28:11you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:13has a documented history
00:28:14of negligence.
00:28:16My father confirmed
00:28:17it himself.
00:28:18Is that precisely
00:28:19what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:21His exact words.
00:28:24Negligence, Serge?
00:28:25What are those?
00:28:29Personal gifts
00:28:30from your father?
00:28:33My fellowship offer?
00:28:36My personal research lab?
00:28:38My surgical team?
00:28:39I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:43You can tell
00:28:44President Bale
00:28:44that as of this moment,
00:28:46Dr. Marksman
00:28:46has permanently withdrawn
00:28:48from Bale Hospital
00:28:49and all of its
00:28:51affiliated institutions.
00:28:52You know what?
00:28:53Spare it to the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:55You never deserve
00:28:56those privileges
00:28:57in the first place.
00:28:59The medical board
00:28:59is going to see
00:29:00that justice is done.
00:29:02Oh,
00:29:03your stupidity,
00:29:05it's just astonishing.
00:29:07You treat pioneering surgeons
00:29:09like disposable scalpels.
00:29:11This man
00:29:12is a life-saving artist.
00:29:18Dr. Heart,
00:29:19I understand
00:29:20there's some competition
00:29:20between your center
00:29:21and Bale Hospital.
00:29:23Yeah,
00:29:23look,
00:29:24I'll be real.
00:29:25We're struggling to die
00:29:26out from under their shadow.
00:29:27I'd be happy
00:29:28to help you out with that.
00:29:29Take me on
00:29:30and I'll transform heart
00:29:32to the number one
00:29:33surgical institution
00:29:34in the country.
00:29:36Look at yourself,
00:29:37Adrian,
00:29:38offering your skills
00:29:39to a struggling clinic.
00:29:41How pathetically desperate.
00:29:43Oh,
00:29:44a backstabbing bottom theater
00:29:46like you
00:29:47has absolutely
00:29:48no right
00:29:49to judge a surgeon
00:29:49of his caliber.
00:29:50How dare you
00:29:51talk to me like that?
00:29:52Your malpractice
00:29:54has caused
00:29:55catastrophic damage
00:29:56to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:59As the responsible party,
00:30:01I demand that you
00:30:02issue a formal apology
00:30:03to one of the major
00:30:04medical journals
00:30:05and with an explanation
00:30:07to every affected
00:30:08Bale Hospital patient.
00:30:11Refuse me
00:30:12and I will ensure
00:30:13that the medical board
00:30:14revokes your license
00:30:15permanently.
00:30:16that accusation
00:30:17isn't just basis.
00:30:19It's absurd.
00:30:20What exactly
00:30:21do you think
00:30:21you're going to do about it?
00:30:23You've got no choice
00:30:24but to sign this confession.
00:30:25Oh,
00:30:25stop threatening
00:30:26my chief surgeon.
00:30:27If you insist
00:30:28on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:30have your attorney
00:30:31send a formal complaint
00:30:32to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:34We'll consider it
00:30:34nothing less
00:30:35than a declaration
00:30:37of total war.
00:30:39If it's war you want,
00:30:41I will obliterate
00:30:42your dying store clinic
00:30:43with everything
00:30:44that I've got.
00:30:46Let's go.
00:30:47One more second
00:30:48and this cesspool's
00:30:49going to make me
00:30:50physically ill.
00:30:59Mr. Vail,
00:31:01don't you waste
00:31:02another precious moment
00:31:03on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:06David,
00:31:06you've proven
00:31:07your loyalty.
00:31:08The chief of surgery
00:31:09position is yours
00:31:11effective immediately.
00:31:13This is,
00:31:13this is extraordinary.
00:31:15I,
00:31:15thank you.
00:31:16I,
00:31:17I,
00:31:19I am honored
00:31:20beyond words.
00:31:21Don't forget
00:31:22about me,
00:31:22Preston.
00:31:24Don't worry,
00:31:25babe.
00:31:25You will be
00:31:26thoroughly compensated
00:31:28for your loyalty.
00:31:30How exciting.
00:31:32Mr. Vail,
00:31:33I swear
00:31:34on my medical oath
00:31:35that I will not
00:31:36disappoint you.
00:31:38Mr. Vail,
00:31:39a commuter train
00:31:40derails
00:31:40six critical patients
00:31:41incoming.
00:31:42Dr. Marksman,
00:31:43OR1 now.
00:31:44Natural time,
00:31:45Sean,
00:31:45Dr. Marksman.
00:31:46Shit,
00:31:47screwed.
00:31:48Adrian's surgical journal
00:31:49with all his
00:31:49proprietary techniques
00:31:50is still in my office.
00:31:52If Preston finds out,
00:31:53I stole it
00:31:54and then couldn't
00:31:55even use it properly.
00:31:56I implemented
00:31:58a groundbreaking
00:32:00surgical protocol
00:32:01that I invented
00:32:02myself.
00:32:02These techniques
00:32:03are revolutionary.
00:32:05I'll walk you through
00:32:06it in detail
00:32:06after the emergency.
00:32:08It's impressive,
00:32:09Dr. Marksman.
00:32:10You've obviously
00:32:10got your own methodology.
00:32:12No need to bore me
00:32:13with the specifics.
00:32:14I trust your brilliance.
00:32:16Keep up the good work,
00:32:17Dr. Marksman.
00:32:18With you leading
00:32:18my surgical team,
00:32:20I can focus on
00:32:20what really matters,
00:32:22hospital expansion.
00:32:23Again, sir,
00:32:26I'm deeply honored.
00:32:33Behold,
00:32:34Vail Hospital's
00:32:35new chief of surgery.
00:32:37Let's see how
00:32:37all these condescending
00:32:38clowns treat me now.
00:32:43Glad you're feeling
00:32:44better, honey.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:48Sorry,
00:32:48who's this?
00:32:49Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:54Nelson Vail,
00:32:55Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:57I'm calling
00:32:58to let you know
00:32:59that as of this morning,
00:33:00Hart Medical Center
00:33:01has officially entered
00:33:03the experimental
00:33:03surgery arena.
00:33:05Revolutionary
00:33:05surgical procedures
00:33:07are Vail Hospital's
00:33:08domain.
00:33:09Are you absolutely
00:33:10certain you want
00:33:11to pick this place?
00:33:13This is merely
00:33:14a professional
00:33:14courtesy call,
00:33:15not an invitation
00:33:16for debate.
00:33:17Now, just
00:33:18What is that
00:33:24conniving bitch
00:33:25plotting?
00:33:26She knows
00:33:27Adrian
00:33:27is our
00:33:28surgical secret
00:33:29weapon.
00:33:30Why would she
00:33:31deliberately provoke
00:33:32a medical war
00:33:33if she has
00:33:33absolutely no chance
00:33:35of winning?
00:33:37Unless
00:33:38Dad, we've got
00:33:46multiple traumas
00:33:46coming in.
00:33:46Just tell me
00:33:47you didn't
00:33:47fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:50Dad, relax.
00:33:52Fire the other one.
00:33:53That incompetent
00:33:54slacker resident
00:33:55that you mentioned.
00:33:56And explain to me
00:33:57why Hart Medical Center
00:33:59believes they can
00:34:00suddenly challenge
00:34:01our surgical
00:34:02supremacy.
00:34:03Because
00:34:04I
00:34:05astrophily
00:34:06let Vivian Hart
00:34:07into a false
00:34:07sense of reality.
00:34:09It's a way
00:34:09a mediocre doctor
00:34:10can revolutionize
00:34:11surgical procedures.
00:34:13I can
00:34:13convince Vivian
00:34:14that she's
00:34:15acquired
00:34:15surgical brilliance
00:34:16when in reality
00:34:17she's hired
00:34:18our disgraced
00:34:19discarded loser.
00:34:21So you've
00:34:21deliberately
00:34:22manipulated
00:34:22Vivian?
00:34:23She thinks
00:34:24she's hired
00:34:25genius
00:34:26behind
00:34:27Vail Hospital's
00:34:27groundbreaking
00:34:28procedures.
00:34:29That's why she
00:34:29had the audacity
00:34:30to declare war on you.
00:34:31Impressive, son.
00:34:32You're finally
00:34:33showing some of the
00:34:34leadership qualities.
00:34:35I've been waiting
00:34:36to see out of you.
00:34:37I think you're
00:34:38ready to take
00:34:39complete control
00:34:40of our
00:34:40experimental
00:34:41surgical division.
00:34:44Dad, this
00:34:45is everything
00:34:46I've worked for.
00:34:48We get to work
00:34:48immediately.
00:34:49We're going to
00:34:50expose
00:34:51Hart Medical Center
00:34:53to the low-grade
00:34:55institution
00:34:56it truly is.
00:34:57Their humiliation
00:34:58will be quick
00:34:59and absolute.
00:35:00I won't let you
00:35:01down.
00:35:03Darling,
00:35:05surgical innovation
00:35:06is the future
00:35:07of Vail.
00:35:08Preston only
00:35:08got his MBA
00:35:09last year.
00:35:10Do you really
00:35:11think it's wise
00:35:12to entrust him
00:35:12with our most
00:35:13prestigious program?
00:35:14I would never
00:35:15take a risk
00:35:16like this
00:35:17if Preston
00:35:18was our only
00:35:19asset.
00:35:20Remember,
00:35:21we have the
00:35:22ultimate
00:35:22surgical secret
00:35:23weapon.
00:35:24You mean
00:35:25the surgeon
00:35:25that saved
00:35:26my life?
00:35:27Dr. Adrian
00:35:28Marksman.
00:35:29Exactly.
00:35:30And all I need
00:35:31to do
00:35:32is stay
00:35:33hands-off
00:35:34and let him
00:35:36exercise
00:35:37his extraordinary
00:35:38talents.
00:35:40As long as
00:35:40Adrian is with
00:35:41Vail Hospital,
00:35:43Hart Medical Center
00:35:44has no chance
00:35:45of competing.
00:35:47Not only that,
00:35:48Vivian fell
00:35:49for Preston's
00:35:50manipulation
00:35:50and hired
00:35:51that medical
00:35:52disaster,
00:35:53Dr. David
00:35:54Marksman.
00:35:55All we have
00:35:56to do now
00:35:57is sit back
00:35:59and watch
00:36:00her would-be
00:36:01empire
00:36:02crumble.
00:36:03So,
00:36:10now that you've
00:36:11seen the
00:36:11surgical
00:36:11department,
00:36:12what do you
00:36:15think?
00:36:15It's not bad.
00:36:17It's a small
00:36:17team,
00:36:18but they're
00:36:18talented.
00:36:19What you've
00:36:20built here,
00:36:21it's impressive,
00:36:22Viv.
00:36:25It's good to
00:36:25see you again
00:36:26after all these
00:36:26years,
00:36:27Adrian.
00:36:28You too.
00:36:29We need to
00:36:31expand.
00:36:32It's too small
00:36:33for what I'm
00:36:33planning.
00:36:35So,
00:36:36I heard
00:36:38you weren't
00:36:38the only
00:36:38surgeon
00:36:39Preston Vail
00:36:39fired.
00:36:44You have
00:36:45all the angles
00:36:46figured out,
00:36:46don't you?
00:36:47And I always
00:36:48find the best
00:36:48one.
00:36:57I'm going to
00:36:58start recruiting.
00:36:59Good.
00:37:02The faster
00:37:03we rise,
00:37:04the more
00:37:05rewarding
00:37:06this partnership
00:37:07comes.
00:37:20This better
00:37:21be good.
00:37:22Mr. Vail,
00:37:24you wanted
00:37:25to see me?
00:37:29My father
00:37:30has granted me
00:37:31complete authority
00:37:32over our
00:37:32experimental
00:37:33surgical department.
00:37:35Given your
00:37:35new position
00:37:36as chief
00:37:36of surgery,
00:37:38I'm appointing
00:37:38you head
00:37:39of innovation.
00:37:40Mr. Vail,
00:37:41I, uh...
00:37:42Is there
00:37:42an issue
00:37:42with that?
00:37:43No,
00:37:44absolutely not.
00:37:46The budget
00:37:46for innovation
00:37:47is astronomical,
00:37:48and President Vail
00:37:49has already
00:37:50handed control
00:37:50to his son.
00:37:51If I oversee
00:37:53these procedures,
00:37:54I can divert
00:37:54significant resources
00:37:56to my personal
00:37:57research.
00:37:58Mr. Vail,
00:37:59you can trust me
00:38:00completely.
00:38:01I am precisely
00:38:02the right man
00:38:03for the job.
00:38:03Preston,
00:38:07we have a
00:38:07catastrophe
00:38:07on our hands.
00:38:08Two attending
00:38:09surgeons
00:38:09just to make
00:38:10their resignation
00:38:10simultaneously.
00:38:11The department
00:38:12can't possibly
00:38:12maintain its...
00:38:13So,
00:38:18now that you've
00:38:19seen the
00:38:19surgical department,
00:38:21what do you pick?
00:38:24It's not bad.
00:38:26Dad,
00:38:26relax.
00:38:31This better
00:38:32be good.
00:38:33Mr. Vail,
00:38:35you wanted
00:38:36to see me?
00:38:40My father
00:38:41has granted
00:38:42me complete
00:38:43authority over
00:38:44our experimental
00:38:44surgical department,
00:38:46given your new
00:38:47position as
00:38:47chief of surgery,
00:38:49appointing you
00:38:50head of innovation.
00:38:51Mr. Vail,
00:38:52I, uh...
00:38:53Is there an issue
00:38:54with that?
00:38:55Others talk
00:38:55they were recruited
00:38:56by a former
00:38:56field physician,
00:38:57along with the
00:38:58three other surgeons
00:38:59you've hired before.
00:39:00Former physician
00:39:01being treated
00:39:01marksman.
00:39:02This has his
00:39:02sabbatore signature
00:39:04all over it.
00:39:05What's our
00:39:06contingency plan?
00:39:07The surgical
00:39:07department is
00:39:08severely understaffed.
00:39:09If any more
00:39:10surgeons leave,
00:39:11patients will suffer.
00:39:12Okay, everybody.
00:39:13It's to remain calm.
00:39:16You still have me.
00:39:18I can rebuild
00:39:19this department.
00:39:20Ah, yes.
00:39:21With your stellar
00:39:22reputation,
00:39:23we should be able
00:39:23to get the best
00:39:24of the best.
00:39:25Exactly.
00:39:26So we lost
00:39:27some second-rate
00:39:28talent.
00:39:29Let him go.
00:39:31I'll make some
00:39:32calls to
00:39:32Cedars-Sinai
00:39:33and UCLA.
00:39:36Good work,
00:39:37marksman.
00:39:41This is working
00:39:42out perfectly.
00:39:43Now I can install
00:39:43my own allies
00:39:44in key positions.
00:39:46Soon,
00:39:46I'll control
00:39:47the entire
00:39:47hospital's
00:39:48medical direction.
00:39:49It's an hour
00:40:13to beat you
00:40:14after heart.
00:40:14This is Dr. Parker
00:40:19here.
00:40:20He's a triple
00:40:21board certified
00:40:22surgeon,
00:40:22and soon he'll
00:40:23be the head
00:40:24of trauma surgery.
00:40:25This is Dr. Rose,
00:40:26Jen,
00:40:27Rose,
00:40:28and Thomas,
00:40:29all consonant
00:40:30professionals,
00:40:31my most trusted
00:40:32colleagues back
00:40:33at Vail.
00:40:36With this
00:40:37surgical team,
00:40:38Heart Medical
00:40:39can revolutionize
00:40:40surgical care
00:40:41all across the
00:40:42country.
00:40:43Actually,
00:40:44the whole world.
00:40:45We're here to
00:40:46begin,
00:40:46Dr. Hart.
00:40:47Well,
00:40:48welcome to
00:40:49Hart Medical
00:40:50Center.
00:40:51I am thrilled
00:40:52to have surgeons
00:40:53of your caliber
00:40:54joining us,
00:40:55but I do need
00:40:56to be transparent.
00:40:58We have got
00:40:59considerable ground
00:41:00to cover before
00:41:00we can truly
00:41:01challenge Vail
00:41:02hospital's dominance.
00:41:03Have no fear,
00:41:04Dr. Hart.
00:41:05With Adrian
00:41:06leading our team,
00:41:07we'll be three steps
00:41:08ahead of anything
00:41:09Vail attempts.
00:41:10Yes,
00:41:10but Vail
00:41:11has already
00:41:12implemented
00:41:12Adrian's
00:41:13breakthrough
00:41:14surgical procedure
00:41:15protocols.
00:41:16Yeah,
00:41:16about that.
00:41:18It's a preliminary
00:41:19version.
00:41:19If they continue
00:41:20to develop this
00:41:21approach without
00:41:21modification,
00:41:22then what?
00:41:23A lot of deaths,
00:41:25a lot of lawsuits,
00:41:26a lot of patients
00:41:27could be harmed,
00:41:28or worse.
00:41:29These procedures
00:41:30weren't ready for
00:41:30widespread implementation
00:41:32without proper
00:41:32refinement.
00:41:33Those techniques
00:41:34require precise
00:41:36calibration
00:41:36and specialized
00:41:37training
00:41:38without that
00:41:39foundation.
00:41:40We're talking
00:41:40about serious
00:41:41complications,
00:41:43preventable harm.
00:41:44Our first priority
00:41:44has to be patient
00:41:46safety.
00:41:47We need to perfect
00:41:47these procedures,
00:41:49and then we can
00:41:49find a way to
00:41:50prevent Vail
00:41:51from continuing
00:41:52with the
00:41:52flawed protocols.
00:41:54Exactly.
00:41:54It's not about
00:41:55competition or pride.
00:41:57It's about
00:41:57saving lives.
00:41:58We're using
00:42:02our experience
00:42:02with the trial
00:42:03procedures I did
00:42:04at Vail to develop
00:42:05next generation
00:42:06surgical techniques
00:42:07eliminating all
00:42:09the previous
00:42:09complications and
00:42:10inefficiencies.
00:42:12Even if Vail
00:42:13Hospital analyzes
00:42:14our fundamental
00:42:15approach and
00:42:15attempts to create
00:42:16something new,
00:42:17we'll maintain
00:42:18our significant
00:42:19advantage.
00:42:21And if they
00:42:21stubbornly continue
00:42:22with their flawed
00:42:23protocols,
00:42:24rest assured,
00:42:26their outcomes
00:42:26will deteriorate.
00:42:27I don't wish it
00:42:28upon their
00:42:29patients,
00:42:29that's for sure.
00:42:31Remember this
00:42:32moment.
00:42:33In this battle
00:42:33for medical
00:42:34supremacy,
00:42:35Heart Medical
00:42:35Center will
00:42:36emerge victorious.
00:42:44It's 3 a.m.
00:42:47I'll strike a
00:42:48time again.
00:42:54Viv, you
00:42:54surprised me.
00:42:57Looks like you
00:42:58could use a nice
00:42:59rub.
00:43:00Do you mind?
00:43:02No.
00:43:04I mean,
00:43:05yeah.
00:43:07What do you
00:43:07give all your
00:43:08surgeons
00:43:08massages?
00:43:10Only the ones
00:43:11I really, really
00:43:11liked.
00:43:17You really,
00:43:19really liked me.
00:43:20Adrienne, I've
00:43:21really, really liked
00:43:21you since
00:43:22residency.
00:43:22nothing's changed.
00:43:26You were our most
00:43:27brilliant resident
00:43:28in the program.
00:43:29I never imagined
00:43:30someone like you
00:43:31would like me.
00:43:32There was never
00:43:32anyone else that
00:43:33got my attention.
00:43:35I'll meet you.
00:43:38But you were
00:43:39completely oblivious.
00:43:41And then you just
00:43:41vanished from the
00:43:43program.
00:43:44Well, I left to
00:43:45join the experimental
00:43:46surgical fellowship
00:43:47in Switzerland.
00:43:48I know.
00:43:51Your town was
00:43:52extraordinary even
00:43:53then.
00:43:55Back then, I
00:43:56made promise to
00:43:57myself that we
00:43:58would work together
00:43:58again someday.
00:44:00You know, when I
00:44:01established our
00:44:02medical center, my
00:44:03first priority was
00:44:04recruiting you.
00:44:06But that manipulative
00:44:08tyrant, Nelson
00:44:09Bale, had already
00:44:11secured your
00:44:11contracts with
00:44:13ridiculous incentives.
00:44:14I understand
00:44:16now.
00:44:23So, should we
00:44:26pick up where we
00:44:27left off in
00:44:28residency?
00:44:29You're the boss.
00:44:31That's right.
00:44:32And as your boss,
00:44:34I say, come home
00:44:35with me.
00:44:37Tonight?
00:44:38You lost everything
00:44:39on Preston Fire,
00:44:40too.
00:44:40Hospital
00:44:41privileges,
00:44:42research funding,
00:44:45even your hospital
00:44:47subsidized apartment.
00:44:50You have literally
00:44:51nowhere else to
00:44:52come tonight.
00:44:54Come with me.
00:44:57Where?
00:44:59My place.
00:45:08All right.
00:45:09I'll get it.
00:45:10That was the best
00:45:12meal I've had in
00:45:12months.
00:45:13Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:45:15I might start thinking
00:45:17you're easy to please.
00:45:18That just depends on
00:45:19the company.
00:45:20Well, starting tonight,
00:45:23this is your new home.
00:45:25And all of the
00:45:25programs fully
00:45:26established just
00:45:27makes sense.
00:45:29Are you sure about
00:45:30that?
00:45:30You already work
00:45:31late hours.
00:45:33Living together
00:45:34could get complicated.
00:45:36My life complicated
00:45:38keeps things
00:45:40interesting.
00:45:42And
00:45:42where exactly
00:45:44will I be sleeping?
00:45:45Well,
00:45:46my master suite
00:45:50has a
00:45:52California king.
00:45:56Plenty of room.
00:45:59The things that I need
00:46:00to get
00:46:00more
00:46:01collaborative.
00:46:02really?
00:46:06Relax.
00:46:07I'm only teasing.
00:46:10Tonight,
00:46:10at least.
00:46:12Come on.
00:46:15I'll show you
00:46:16your room.
00:46:19Unless you'd rather have a night,
00:46:20Cal.
00:46:21And mine.
00:46:22things could be dangerous.
00:46:35Is this pathetic attempt
00:46:36really the best
00:46:37that you can do?
00:46:42You are completely
00:46:43worthless as surgeons.
00:46:45Dr. Marksman,
00:46:46the experimental
00:46:47procedures we're trying
00:46:48to replicate
00:46:48are extraordinarily
00:46:50intricate.
00:46:51We need at least
00:46:51six months
00:46:52to properly
00:46:53mask out.
00:46:54Six months?
00:46:55You have
00:46:5672 hours.
00:46:57And I expect
00:46:58hourly updates
00:46:59on my desk.
00:47:00Sir,
00:47:00rushing these
00:47:01delicate procedures
00:47:02dramatically increases
00:47:04the possibility
00:47:05of potentially
00:47:06fatal complication
00:47:06readays.
00:47:07Then you don't
00:47:08get one hour more.
00:47:10Go.
00:47:11Go.
00:47:15Report,
00:47:16Dr. Marksman.
00:47:17The status.
00:47:18Excellent progress,
00:47:19Mr. Bale.
00:47:20We will be advancing
00:47:21to phase two
00:47:22implementation
00:47:22within three days.
00:47:24That's exactly
00:47:25what I wanted to hear.
00:47:26I knew my judgment
00:47:27appointing you
00:47:28was flawless.
00:47:34Preston,
00:47:34I need an update
00:47:35on the experimental
00:47:36surgery program.
00:47:38Everything's proceeding
00:47:39perfectly, Father.
00:47:40Outstanding.
00:47:41And this is done?
00:47:42I'll throw you
00:47:43a huge party
00:47:44to celebrate
00:47:45the launch.
00:47:46Your father must be
00:47:47so proud of you.
00:47:47Keep up the good work,
00:47:49Dr. Marksman.
00:47:50I'll make sure my father
00:47:51understands your
00:47:52invaluable contribution.
00:47:55This is my shot.
00:47:56I said I'll be
00:47:56chief of surgery.
00:47:57With the right maneuvering,
00:47:58I can become the next
00:47:59chief medical officer
00:48:00of Bale Hospital.
00:48:02Mr. Bale,
00:48:03my purpose
00:48:04is to execute
00:48:05the visionary
00:48:06medical strategies
00:48:07of brilliant
00:48:09administrators
00:48:10such as yourself.
00:48:10I believe that
00:48:12in the position
00:48:13of chief medical officer,
00:48:14I could implement
00:48:15your ideas
00:48:16more effectively
00:48:17throughout the entire hospital.
00:48:19These procedures
00:48:19prove successful?
00:48:21We'll personally
00:48:21discuss your advancement
00:48:22with the board.
00:48:23Truly, that's...
00:48:24I am profoundly
00:48:27grateful, sir.
00:48:30You're finally awake.
00:48:53You can keep appreciating
00:48:55with you while you eat.
00:48:57All right.

00:51:19I was trying
00:51:20to impress you
00:51:20even though.
00:51:22Midnight meetings,
00:51:24long hours,
00:51:27this work ethic
00:51:28of yours
00:51:29is a little dangerous.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:34That's what
00:51:35Belle used to say
00:51:36about me.
00:51:38Then they fired me.
00:51:39And they were fools.
00:51:45You've earned
00:51:46more than just
00:51:47respect to your
00:51:47Adrian.
00:51:49You know that,
00:51:50right?
00:51:54You trying to
00:51:55motivate me again?
00:51:57I don't try.
00:51:58I do.
00:51:58Well,
00:52:06don't work too late.
00:52:11You're no good
00:52:12to me burnt out.
00:52:12The incompetence

00:52:26are in way
00:52:27over your heads.
00:52:30Do you really think
00:52:31that this is acceptable?
00:52:33I give you
00:52:33one simple task
00:52:34and you screw it up!
00:52:35How the hell
00:52:37did either of you

00:53:13or not?
00:53:14Of course.
00:53:15We're just refining
00:53:17the final stages.
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:20Everything is under control.
00:53:22Good.
00:53:23There's a problem

00:53:29Mr. Vail.

00:53:33it uh looks like preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here
00:53:42don't worry when preston makes me chief medical officer i'm gonna need someone
00:53:48flexible in my corner i respect the winning team dr marksman
00:53:53today vale hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next generation surgical program
00:54:06this cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:54:12especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day the question now is
00:54:18cool to find the future of surgery relax mr vale heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:54:25i hope you're right for your sake
00:54:30didn't you say that uh if the rollout went well that you'd make me
00:54:37chief medical officer it's not a success yet
00:54:41enjoy tonight's launch party because if our results don't outshine heart medical
00:54:48it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time
00:54:51dr hurt we um have a problem
00:55:05male hospital's new surgical program launches today
00:55:09that's soon they're hosting a big celebration party tonight
00:55:14it's a good thing we're ahead of them
00:55:18you're saying we're ready
00:55:21why would i lie we've been tracking bill's every move
00:55:25let them celebrate it's just gonna backfire
00:55:28how exactly does that work in our favor
00:55:30viv do you remember what i told you when you first brought me here
00:55:35person vale's rushing this he's desperate to beat us to the market
00:55:40and their model's flawed if they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure
00:55:46and their approach
00:55:47we won't have to lift the damn finger
00:55:50and what about when it falls apart
00:55:52then heart medical takes over as the future of modern surgery
00:55:55so you're saying that vale hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that
00:56:01you designed it's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast
00:56:04they're usually an early draft full of mistakes that i won't make again
00:56:09they don't even realize the cracks in the foundation
00:56:12that actually makes perfect sense
00:56:15which means we've already won
00:56:19well this is a big day for us
00:56:21we should celebrate

00:59:54oh
01:00:02so
01:00:04Did he just wander in from the janitor's lab?
01:00:08It's giving orderly sheep.
01:00:13Maybe he's here to bust tables.
01:00:17What were you doing at our launch party? You weren't invited.
01:00:20You so sure about that? I mean, look at you.
01:00:22This is a black tie. I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
01:00:28Look who crawled in from the gutter.
01:00:30The failed surgeon, the fraud, and nobody.
01:00:36Showed up to my party in Beardy Scrubs, Marksner?
01:00:40Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:43Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:45Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:47Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:50What are you trying to say?
01:00:51I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, and nobody, isn't me.
01:01:00You can't have them expose me in front of all these people.
01:01:04I've got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:01:08A genius like him leading our surgical team, he won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:01:13Yeah, because it'll happen in prison when you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:01:21What are you talking about?
01:01:25Identity theft.
01:01:27Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:01:29Yours?
01:01:30Give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:01:33If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:01:36Speaking from experience.
01:01:39Look around you.
01:01:40This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:44The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:46Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty chief scrubs, it doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:51Good.
01:01:51I'm glad.
01:01:52Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:55Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:57That's enough.
01:01:58Guards?
01:02:00This former employee's threatening us.
01:02:03Kick him out.
01:02:04Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:02:06I'm here tonight with a very important guests.
01:02:12What are you dumbasses doing?
01:02:14Grab him.
01:02:29Preston!
01:02:30What the hell is this?
01:02:33Dad.
01:02:34Relax, I, uh...
01:02:35Relax?
01:02:36This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:39I was just kicking him out.
01:02:40Guards, remove him immediately.
01:02:41President Bale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:44You get out of my way!
01:02:46Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:47This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leaving our surgical...
01:02:52You are such a fool!
01:02:55Dad, what are you, what are you doing?
01:02:58Open your eyes, Preston.
01:03:00This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he's...
01:03:04You are a...
01:03:05You are a...
01:03:06Disgraced!
01:03:08Dad!
01:03:09Uh...
01:03:09My hospital meant something and...
01:03:12You turned it into a...
01:03:14Into a...
01:03:15To a...
01:03:15Hey!
01:03:16Dad!
01:03:17Dad!
01:03:22Dad!
01:03:25President Bale.
01:03:26Look away from my dad!
01:03:28Are you out of your mind?
01:03:29He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:03:31Oh yeah, I'll let you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:03:33I'll die before I trust you two.
01:03:35Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:37David!
01:03:38David!
01:03:39You're cold!
01:03:40It's cold!
01:03:40You can't think of what to do next?
01:03:47Blanking?
01:03:48You can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:49Shut up!
01:03:51Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:53This is ridiculous.
01:03:54I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:57Why are you just standing there?
01:03:58Do something!
01:03:59Huh?
01:04:01What's the matter, David?
01:04:02If you need help, just ask.
01:04:05All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:04:07Right here.
01:04:08Right now.
01:04:09I can't blow my cover, but...
01:04:12What if I kill him?
01:04:14I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:04:17I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:04:19I did medical school on Zoom.
01:04:21David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:04:25Let it go!
01:04:28I...
01:04:29I...
01:04:30I can't.
01:04:33I can't do this.
01:04:36Okay, I can't.
01:04:37I can't do this.
01:04:38I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:45That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:47You stole it from me.
01:04:55Okay, okay.
01:04:57I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:05:01Okay.
01:05:02Okay.

01:06:04that maneuver
01:06:05that notebook
01:06:06it's mine
01:06:07then tell them
01:06:09where is he going?
01:06:14maybe he's heading to develop another fake surgery program
01:06:17at another fake hospital
01:06:18waiting for something soon, Dr. PJs?
01:06:22say, hey, why don't you come back
01:06:23when you've actually saved a life
01:06:24that procedure, David Hughes
01:06:30I invented it
01:06:32what kind of crack are you smoking?
01:06:34it's delusional
01:06:35somebody seriously check this guy's medical license
01:06:40the notebook he used to save your father
01:06:42that's mine
01:06:43my handwriting
01:06:45my theories
01:06:47you're just pissed because he did
01:06:50what you couldn't
01:06:51I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories
01:06:53as innovation
01:06:54but when it fails
01:06:56and it will
01:06:59you're not the ones that'll pay for it
01:07:02the patients will
01:07:03you can't prove that
01:07:05not yet
01:07:06she can't fake medicine
01:07:09medicine and science
01:07:11always tell the truth
01:07:14our three final results
01:07:18we've got uncontrolled bleeding
01:07:19second patient today
01:07:20same issue
01:07:21vessel migration failed
01:07:23mid-operation
01:07:24these techniques aren't viable
01:07:25the fail method
01:07:26doesn't hold under stress
01:07:28I mean, come on
01:07:30tonight proves it
01:07:31we're ahead of every surgical institute in the country
01:07:34we're right back
01:07:43just coordinating with the team
01:07:45talk to me
01:07:49the vascular bundle
01:07:50have maneuver failed again
01:07:51this is the second patient
01:07:53cleaning out tonight
01:07:54use the compression step
01:07:58that only works in control scenarios
01:08:00we told you these procedures
01:08:02weren't fully tested
01:08:03look, just follow the notes
01:08:06I designed those techniques for 101 guidance
01:08:12not mass implementation
01:08:14without calibration
01:08:16it's unstable
01:08:18it's dangerous
01:08:19they tried to commercialize your success without you
01:08:22now people are paying for it
01:08:25all good?
01:08:27of course
01:08:28just routine coordination
01:08:30routine coordination doesn't usually include
01:08:33blood loss
01:08:34your surgical program is failing
01:08:36patients are suffering
01:08:37you've been out of the field for months
01:08:39you wouldn't know?
01:08:41yeah, I would know
01:08:41because the procedures that you're butchering
01:08:44I invented
01:08:45and I'm the only one in this room
01:08:47who can fix the mess that you made
01:08:48in your surgical way
01:08:49oh shit
01:08:51oh yes, this is Dr. Marksman
01:08:58yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately
01:09:02okay, listen very carefully
01:09:05your patient OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:09:10because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed
01:09:14no, you need to perform a Marksman modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation
01:09:20followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures
01:09:27yes
01:09:29yes
01:09:31I don't even know he made a phone call
01:09:36this whole thing is performance
01:09:38charade
01:09:38you stole his methods
01:09:40this entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork
01:09:46uh, that's a lie
01:09:47then prove me wrong
01:09:48show them all a technique that I didn't create
01:09:51why would you believe anything he says
01:09:57you're fired
01:09:58you're right, I was fired
01:10:00the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary
01:10:06you know what? this is pathetic
01:10:08he's just jealous
01:10:09he missed his shot
01:10:11is that what you told yourself?
01:10:13when you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:10:17even if that were true
01:10:18this isn't the time or the place
01:10:20I think it's exactly the time and place
01:10:24I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator
01:10:37and thanks to Adrian's guidance
01:10:40our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients
01:10:44Adrian just cleaned up your mess
01:10:47you took this good man's techniques that weren't ready
01:10:51and you fired him
01:10:53the one person who could make them safe
01:10:56dad?
01:10:58you don't see the full picture here
01:11:00oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well
01:11:03this hospital was built on trust and integrity
01:11:06and you've disgraced them both
01:11:08your father nearly died because of your ego
01:11:12because of his lies
01:11:14you saved me
01:11:17you saved Nelson
01:11:19and now you can save Vale
01:11:22we tried to warn you all
01:11:24no one listened
01:11:25they're listening now
01:11:27you deserve to be at Vale
01:11:30more than either of those two
01:11:32and probably even more than me
01:11:34it was a mistake to let you go
01:11:37months ago I was fired from Vale hospital
01:11:41the procedure still in development
01:11:43they weren't ready
01:11:45they needed supervision
01:11:46precision
01:11:48development
01:11:49instead someone took my notes
01:11:51and tried to fast track them for glory
01:11:53oh
01:11:54you can't prove that
01:11:55security footage
01:11:58of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital
01:12:04already submitted to the board
01:12:07I built on what he started
01:12:10okay
01:12:11I didn't steal
01:12:13I enhanced it
01:12:15and why were patients about to die?
01:12:18you falsified rollout readiness
01:12:20he did more than that
01:12:22he put lives at risk
01:12:24to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program
01:12:28we're going to need to open a formal investigation on this
01:12:31this is absurd
01:12:33this was supposed to be our light
01:12:35oh it's your night
01:12:36it's just not the way you thought it'd be
01:12:39you lied to me
01:12:42I didn't lie
01:12:43I simplified the truth
01:12:44simplify?
01:12:46you could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people
01:12:50you could nearly kill the president of the hospital
01:12:53you passed up experimental procedures as launch ready
01:12:56that's malpractice
01:12:58they worked
01:12:59Nelson's alive
01:13:01look the patients they're alive
01:13:03yeah because of me
01:13:04those methods require sequential tensioning
01:13:07breath control
01:13:08special clamp techniques
01:13:09getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death
01:13:12wait
01:13:13these really are your techniques
01:13:14I tested them for years
01:13:15I tested them for years
01:13:16it was never meant for mass rollout
01:13:19not without training
01:13:21you're rewriting history?
01:13:24no you tried to erase him from it
01:13:26Adrian Morksman was the reason that Bale's program had a future
01:13:30and without him
01:13:32it won't
01:13:33this is absurd
01:13:34you're siding with this disgraced former resident
01:13:38he's not disgraced son
01:13:40you are
01:13:41you hijacked a program you didn't understand
01:13:45and then when your ego wasn't enough
01:13:47you propped up this fraud
01:13:51taking his side dad
01:13:54I'm your son
01:13:56I'm taking the side of truth
01:13:58and so on the board
01:14:00you will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning
01:14:03until then both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties
01:14:08suspended?
01:14:09oh no you can't do that
01:14:10you don't understand the politics of running a hospital
01:14:13we understand the liability
01:14:14that's enough
01:14:15Mr. Preston Dale
01:14:19Dr. David Morksman
01:14:20come with us
01:14:22dad

01:15:02because I love you
01:15:04love
01:15:07you traded him the second someone flashier walked by
01:15:10you don't understand
01:15:12I thought he was finished
01:15:14I thought he had nothing left
01:15:16so you sold him out
01:15:18mocked him
01:15:19over and over again
01:15:22I was scared
01:15:23I
01:15:24I didn't know what to do
01:15:25oh you knew
01:15:26you just didn't care
01:15:28not until you realized
01:15:30not until you realized
01:15:30that the horse you bet on

01:15:44you always belonged in my operating room
01:15:55and I should have fought harder to keep you
01:15:58if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes
01:16:02the board will vote that Preston
01:16:05is removed from the board
01:16:07and David will never go near another patient again
01:16:10we're rebuilding
