00:00:02A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:00:07patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department. The fate of these accident victims
00:00:12now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of
00:00:18devastating trauma. Facials crashing, we need an attending surgeon now! All the hours are full,
00:00:24we got three more criticals incoming. Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding. Well, I can't leave
00:00:29this one. Where's Dr. Stephens? We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:50Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month. Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready
00:00:58for a level one trauma like this? The patient's pressure is dropping. Time to prove yourself,
00:01:02Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours. Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple. Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:16That's insane. Trust me. Met some bomb scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive. Bovey Cotterie. Watch.

00:04:03you
00:04:04you
00:04:21They're all stable.
00:04:22Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:35Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:57Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:09What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:15Because I know you better than anyone.
00:05:25Blueberry, your favorite?
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:36I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:49It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:55So who's this Marksman guy?
00:05:56His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Not sure.
00:05:59I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a town like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:14What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:23Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatico-duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about that-
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:50Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:55Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:07:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:14No complications, no deaths.
00:07:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who's he thinking is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:25What is this?
00:07:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:34This is a hospital.
00:07:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:40That was for my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:49you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:51You're fired.
00:07:52Excuse me?
00:07:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop just to show her how grateful we are for her
00:07:57time here.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:02Oh, that was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:10Well, well, well.
00:08:11What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:16Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:24No, you didn't.
00:08:26But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired.
00:08:32Are you serious?
00:08:33You're firing me?
00:08:35Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:41Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:45He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:49What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700?
00:08:56Are you insane?
00:08:57You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:03I just worked all night.
00:09:05Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:06Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:09Seem lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:13What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:25My career comes first.
00:09:27Boy, bye.
00:09:29There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32These credentials.
00:09:33Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:39Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:48Clear out your locker.
00:09:50You'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:54You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57What?
00:10:04I see.
00:10:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:09You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who...
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:14Beat it.
00:10:15Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:36I understand.
00:10:39Hospital politics.
00:10:41Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:48I'll be waiting.
00:10:57You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:04The board won't like this.
00:11:06Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:08Patient care will suffer.
00:11:10Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:12I intend to wield it.
00:11:14Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:18Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:21No, Preston.
00:11:22He means nothing to me.
00:11:24Really.
00:11:25I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:30Do you want to be with the nobody, collecting unemployment checks,
00:11:34or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:40The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:44Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded,
00:11:48who's in charge around here?
00:11:57Hey, Dad.
00:11:58What's wrong?
00:11:59Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:01She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:06And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:09Of course.
00:12:09What is it?
00:12:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
00:12:12Then, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:16Dr. Marksman?
00:12:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:20Get out of my hospital.
00:12:22Christ.
00:12:23The resident I just fired?
00:12:25Preston?
00:12:27Are you there?
00:12:29Check the staff roster.
00:12:31Let's see if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:12:35I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:38He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life,
00:12:41and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:45The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:54Ah, yes, I see now.
00:12:55There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:58Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:03Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:07Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:09Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:10That's our man.
00:13:11There's another surgeon with the same last name
00:13:13who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:16Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:18Do me a favor, fire him.
00:13:21Already done, Dad.
00:13:22I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:25Thank God.
00:13:26Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:28Good work, son.
00:13:30I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:34Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:36I got everything else under control.
00:13:44See?
00:13:45Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:49Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:53Mr. Vail, sir.
00:13:54Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:56Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:57The six-car pileup.
00:13:58You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:00What's your point?
00:14:01ER is crashing.
00:14:02We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:10Give me the situation now.
00:14:13Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:16Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleeds, sir.
00:14:19We're losing patients.
00:14:21What are our options?
00:14:22There might be one solution.
00:14:24Well, spit it out.
00:14:25Dr. Marksman.
00:14:27He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:29If we can get him back here.
00:14:31Marksman.
00:14:32Right.
00:14:32That's the men we need.
00:14:33Fiona, call him.
00:14:34Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:36The genius surgeon.
00:14:38The one I didn't fire.
00:14:39Keep up.
00:14:44What the hell?
00:14:46Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:02Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:05Mmm.
00:15:07Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:09Wait.
00:15:11These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:15Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:21Hello?
00:15:22Dr. Marksman?
00:15:23Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:26Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:28there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:30I'm on my way.
00:15:35With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:39They'll make me department head.
00:15:40And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:49Well?
00:15:50Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:52Thank God.
00:16:03Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:06Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:07I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:11You're my future.
00:16:12That's my girl.
00:16:21Beyond a shift in an hour ago,
00:16:24the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:27To hell with this.
00:16:28I'm going up.
00:16:43Piece of shit.
00:16:48Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:52Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:54You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:56can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:16:59You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:17:01with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:03I can choose who I want.
00:17:04And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:07You pathetic loser.
00:17:24We're done, Adrian.
00:17:27Ancient history.
00:17:28Are you serious?
00:17:30Just like that.
00:17:32Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:37Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:39Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:41I need someone with a future.
00:17:43Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:53It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:18:00Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:02I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:18:04And you?
00:18:07Just a slacker.
00:18:09And scrubs.
00:18:10You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:12Perhaps try nursing.
00:18:14I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:17Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:18:20I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:24Get over yourself.
00:18:25You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:29President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:36We're done.
00:18:38I'm not done.
00:18:39But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:44You can count on that.
00:18:49No, no, no.
00:18:49Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:51Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:58Who authorized you to be here?
00:19:00Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:03we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:19:06and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:09You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:11Ah, yes.
00:19:12The very same.
00:19:13My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:16Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:19These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:24As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:29Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:34He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:38Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:48Dr. Hart.
00:19:50Incredible news.
00:19:52Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:19:56he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:00When?
00:20:01Less than an hour ago.
00:20:02Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:06Oh.
00:20:07Amazing.
00:20:09I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:20:13was fired by his submental son.
00:20:16With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:25We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:26Full department autonomy.
00:20:30Research funding.
00:20:32State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:34And if necessary,
00:20:36my personal involvement.
00:20:39His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:43Have my car brought round.
00:20:45I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:48And Adrian Marksman?
00:20:50He's leaving with me.
00:20:57I'm going to Vail Hospital.
00:20:58I'm going to Vail Hospital.
00:20:58What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:01Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:03A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:08Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:09This is crazy.
00:21:10You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:13And when a complication occurs,
00:21:15which happened in this hospital
00:21:17under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me?
00:21:23The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:25isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:28If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:21:31you would still have a job.
00:21:33I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine
00:21:36with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:37Security, please detain him.
00:21:44What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:47Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:49or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:52for criminal negligence.
00:21:54Adrian, I never realized
00:21:56you were capable of endangering patients.
00:21:58What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:01You better confess now,
00:22:02or we'll do everything with your power
00:22:03to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:07Fine.
00:22:08Go ahead.
00:22:09Do your worst.
00:22:11Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:13holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:16You really underestimate
00:22:18my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:23can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:26Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:27that we make an example out of him.
00:22:29After all, he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:31wherever he goes.
00:22:32Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:35Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:39I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:41As of this moment,
00:22:43Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted
00:22:45from Vail Hospital
00:22:46and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:49Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:50Do you know what that means?
00:22:52It means that you will never practice medicine
00:22:55in this country again.
00:22:58I have one question before I go.
00:23:01Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:04My father's the one who asked me to fire you,
00:23:06you dipshit.
00:23:09You thought you were some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:12didn't you?
00:23:14Security, remove this criminal
00:23:15from hospital property immediately.
00:23:17Immediately.
00:23:18Yes, doctor.
00:23:19Right away, sir.
00:23:22That's quite enough.
00:23:35Let him go.
00:23:38Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:41as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:44at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:47I know you.
00:23:49You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:50the surgical upstart
00:23:51from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:54That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:57Mr. Vail.
00:23:58Vivian?
00:23:59I haven't seen you
00:24:00since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:24:01like four or five years ago.
00:24:03What are you doing here?
00:24:04Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon
00:24:07in the country, of course.
00:24:09Wait, are you seriously suggesting
00:24:12this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:14He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:17Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:18discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:20Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:23of medical excellence,
00:24:25not petty politics.
00:24:28Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:24:31This is a conversation
00:24:32between medical directors.
00:24:34Someone in your position
00:24:34should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:24:36Dr. Hart, I must inform you
00:24:39that Dr. Marksman represents
00:24:41a serious liability.
00:24:42He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:45I don't believe I requested
00:24:46your medical opinion, Dr....
00:24:48Marksman.
00:24:49David Marksman.
00:24:50I have neither time nor interest
00:24:52in your assessment.
00:24:55After he decided to go to sleep,
00:24:58we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:00His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:03His actions not only endangered patients,
00:25:05it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:08Are you really willing to defend someone
00:25:11who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:13Did you actually consult with your father
00:25:15before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:18Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:22He's the one who specifically mentioned
00:25:24his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:25and inflated reputation.
00:25:27Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:30Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:32His exact words were,
00:25:33remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:36President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:38This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:39Please, Adrian.
00:25:41The president wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:42a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:44Those gala invitations
00:25:46were professional courtesy,
00:25:48not genuine respect.
00:25:50Well, if that's the way things work at Vail,
00:25:52I have nothing more to contribute
00:25:53to any of you.
00:25:55Dr. Marksman,
00:25:57would you consider joining
00:25:58Heart Medical Center
00:25:59as our chief of surgery?
00:26:02Well, I've...
00:26:03Full department autonomy,
00:26:05protected research time,
00:26:07a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:26:09and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:35And I'll see you next time.
00:26:43And cash.
00:26:44Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:49Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:51I mean what I say.
00:26:59Chief of surgery?
00:27:03You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:08Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:12This is absurd.
00:27:14He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:16And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:22The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:28Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:31This isn't about money.
00:27:34Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:39She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:41She can't do that.
00:27:42Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:45At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:27:51Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:27:56And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:00Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:07has a documented history of negligence.
00:28:10My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:12Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:15His exact words.
00:28:18Negligence, Serge.
00:28:19What are those?
00:28:23Personal gifts from your father, my fellowship offer, my personal research lab, my surgical team.
00:28:34I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:37You can tell President Bale that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Bale Hospital and all
00:28:45of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:47You know what?
00:28:47Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:49You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:52The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:28:56Oh, your stupidity.
00:28:59It's just astonishing.
00:29:01You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:05This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:12Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Bale Hospital.
00:29:17Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:29:19We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:22Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:24Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:30Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:32Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:35How pathetically desperate.
00:29:37Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:44How dare you talk to me like that!
00:29:47Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:53As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:29:59And with an explanation to every affected Bale Hospital patient.
00:30:05Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently!
00:30:10That accusation isn't just baseness, it's absurd!
00:30:14What exactly do you think you're gonna do about it?
00:30:17You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:19Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:21If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:27We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:32If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:40Let's go. One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
00:30:53Mr. Bale, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.
00:31:00David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:01The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:06This is extraordinary. Thank you. I am honored beyond words.
00:31:15Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:18Don't worry, babe. You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:24How exciting.
00:31:26Mr. Bale, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:32Mr. Bale, a commuter train derailed. Six critical patients incoming.
00:31:36Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:31:38Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:40Shit. I'm screwed.
00:31:42Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:31:46If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:50I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:31:56These techniques are revolutionary.
00:31:59I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:02It's impressive, Dr. Marksman. You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:06No need to bore me with the specifics. I trust your brilliance.
00:32:10Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:11With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:16Hospital expansion.
00:32:19Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:27Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:30Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:37Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:40Oh, sorry. Who's this?
00:32:46Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:48President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:51I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental
00:32:57surgery arena.
00:32:58Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:03Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:06This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:33:10Now, just...
00:33:17What is that conniving bitch plotting?
00:33:20She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:24Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:33:33Unless...
00:33:39Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:40Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:43Dad, relax.
00:33:45I fired the other one.
00:33:46That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:49Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:33:57Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:02It's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:06I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:10But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:14So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:17She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:22That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:25Impressive, son.
00:34:26You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:29I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:31I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:38Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
00:34:41We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:43We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:51Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:34:54I won't let you down.
00:34:57Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:01Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:04Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:35:08I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:13Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:18You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:20Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:22Exactly.
00:35:24And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:33As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:40Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:49What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:02So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:09It's not bad.
00:36:10It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:12What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:18It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:22You too.
00:36:23You need to expand.
00:36:25It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:30Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:36:38We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:40And I always find the best one.
00:36:50I'm going to start recruiting.
00:36:53Good.
00:36:55The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:13This better be good.
00:37:15Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:37:22My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:27Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:33Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:37:35Is there an issue with that?
00:37:36No, absolutely not.
00:37:39The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:37:41And President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:37:45If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:51Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:37:54I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:37:59Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:01Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignations simultaneously.
00:38:04The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:06What?
00:38:07They both resigned at once?
00:38:08What was their explanation?
00:38:10They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:11But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician.
00:38:14Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:17Former physician Adrian Marksman.
00:38:19This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:22Preston, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:23The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:26If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:29Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:33You still have me.
00:38:35I can rebuild this department.
00:38:37Ah, yes.
00:38:38With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:42Exactly.
00:38:43So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:45Let him go.
00:38:48I'll make some calls to Cedar Sinai and UCLA.
00:38:53Good work, Marksman.
00:38:58This is working out perfectly.
00:38:59Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:02Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:29It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:35This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:36He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:39And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:41This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:46All consummate professionals.
00:39:48My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:39:53With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:00Actually, the whole world.
00:40:02We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:04Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:08I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:14We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:40:20Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:22With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:40:26Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:40:32Yeah, about that.
00:40:34It's a preliminary version.
00:40:36If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:40:39Then what?
00:40:39A lot of deaths.
00:40:41A lot of lawsuits.
00:40:43A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:40:45Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:40:50Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.
00:40:54Without that foundation.
00:40:56We're talking about serious complications.
00:40:59Preventable harm.
00:41:00Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:03We need to perfect these procedures.
00:41:05And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:10Exactly.
00:41:11It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:13It's about saving lives.
00:41:17We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:41:24eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:28Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:41:34we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:37And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:44I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:47Remember this moment.
00:41:49In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:01It's 3 a.m.
00:42:03Lost track of time again.
00:42:10Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:13It looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:16Do you mind?
00:42:18No.
00:42:20I mean, yeah.
00:42:23Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:26Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:34You really, really like me?
00:42:36Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:40Nothing's changed.
00:42:42You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:42:45I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:48There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:51Only you.
00:42:54But you were completely oblivious.
00:42:56And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:00Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:05I know.
00:43:07Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:43:11Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:15You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:22But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:31I understand now.
00:43:40So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:45You're the boss.
00:43:46That's right.
00:43:47And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:52Tonight?
00:43:53You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:43:56Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:06You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:09Come with me.
00:44:13Where?
00:44:14My place.
00:44:24All right.
00:44:25I'll admit it.
00:44:27That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:29Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:31I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:34That just depends on the company.
00:44:36Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:40Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:45Are you sure about that?
00:44:46We already work late hours.
00:44:49Living together could get complicated.
00:44:53Well, I like complicated.
00:44:55Keeps things interesting.
00:44:57And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:01Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:12Plenty of room.
00:45:14If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:18Collaborative.
00:45:20Really?
00:45:22Relax.
00:45:22I'm only teasing.
00:45:25Tonight, at least.
00:45:28Come on.
00:45:31I'll show you your room.
00:45:34Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:37And mine.
00:45:44Things could get dangerous.
00:45:50Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:45:57You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:00Dr. Marksman.
00:46:01The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:06We need at least six months to properly master.
00:46:09Six months?
00:46:11You have 72 hours.
00:46:13And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:15Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:22Three days.
00:46:23And you don't get one hour more.
00:46:25Go.
00:46:26Go.
00:46:30Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:32What's our status?
00:46:33Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:35We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:39That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:42I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:49Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:54Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:56Outstanding.
00:46:57When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:01Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:03Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:06I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:10This is my shot.
00:47:11Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:13With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:17Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:26I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire
00:47:33hospital.
00:47:34If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:38Truly, that's...
00:47:41I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:48:02You're finally awake.
00:48:09You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:12All right.
00:48:13Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:14Looks good.
00:48:19When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:22Sound good?
00:48:23Yes.
00:48:24Absolutely.
00:48:26Good.
00:48:27Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:36Extra special.
00:48:45Okay, team.
00:48:46We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:49We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.
00:48:54So, let's get to it.
00:48:55Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:48:57I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:00I've just finalized arrangements with the board.
00:49:02And upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere
00:49:11in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:13And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a
00:49:22percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:27At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:43Absolutely.
00:49:44You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:47Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:49:48With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:51Hart is best!
00:49:52Hart is best!
00:49:54Hart is best!
00:49:55Hart is best!
00:49:56Hart is best!
00:49:57Hart is best!
00:49:58Hart is best!
00:50:10Hart is best!
00:50:12Hart is best!
00:50:14Hart is best!
00:50:15Hart is best!
00:50:16Hart is best!
00:50:16Hart is best!
00:50:24Hart is best!
00:50:28You always this disciplined?
00:50:31Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:34If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:37Midnight meetings.
00:50:40Long hours.
00:50:42This work ethic of yours.
00:50:45It's a little dangerous.
00:50:49That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:53Then they fired me.
00:50:56And they were fools.
00:51:00You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:04You know that, right?
00:51:09You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:12I don't try.
00:51:16I do.
00:51:20Well, don't work too late.
00:51:26You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:36The incompetence is, uh, is staggering.
00:51:40Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:45Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:47I give you one simple task, and you screw it up!
00:51:51How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:55Vail General Hospital is the gold standard, and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:01If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:06Is that clear?
00:52:07Yes, sir.
00:52:09This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:14Go.
00:52:21Mr. Vail, what a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:24Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:27We're on schedule or not.
00:52:28Of course.
00:52:30We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:34Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:36Good.
00:52:37There's a problem, I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:39No cover-ups.
00:52:40Of course, sir.
00:52:44Mr. Vail.
00:52:45Not now.
00:52:46Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:51It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:52:58Don't worry.
00:52:59When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:05I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:15Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:21This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:26especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:31The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:36Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:38Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:41I hope you're right.
00:53:43For your sake.
00:53:47Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:53It's not a success.
00:53:55Yet.
00:53:58Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:00Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long
00:54:05time.
00:54:17Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:21Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:24That soon?
00:54:25They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:30It's a good thing we're headed.
00:54:34You're saying we're ready?
00:54:35Why would I lie?
00:54:37We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:40Let him celebrate.
00:54:41It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:42How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:46Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:51Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:53He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:55And?
00:54:55Their model's flawed.
00:54:57If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:03we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:05And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:06Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:11So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:16It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:19They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:24They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:27That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:31Which means we've already won.
00:55:34Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:36We should celebrate.
00:55:37What do you have in mind?
00:55:38Drinks?
00:55:39Not quite.
00:55:40You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:44What?
00:55:45Why?
00:55:46Let me worry about that.
00:55:48In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout, finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:55:53and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:10Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:13I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:17Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:23I'm just at the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:27will you marry me?
00:56:35This should be fun.
00:56:37Absolutely.
00:56:39You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:42Stop it.
00:56:43Too bad you're taken.
00:56:44Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:56:46Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:48Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:51Forget about her.
00:56:51She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:54We'll show you a better time.
00:56:59Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:01Let's go.
00:57:01Fiona who?
00:57:06Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:08Let me get you off.
00:57:29The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:32Please.
00:57:33Try again later.
00:57:57It's 20 in one day.
00:58:00All clean, all stable.
00:58:02Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:05You did it.
00:58:07No.
00:58:08We didn't.
00:58:11Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:14You're already late.
00:58:16I need a change there.
00:58:17You don't have time.
00:58:18Where's Vivian?
00:58:20Taking care of something.
00:58:22She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:28Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:47What the fuck?
00:58:48You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:50I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:58:56So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:19Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:22It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:27Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:30What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:32You weren't invited.
00:59:33You so sure about that?
00:59:34I mean, look at you.
00:59:36This is a black tie?
00:59:37I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:42Look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:45The found surgeon.
00:59:47The fraud.
00:59:48The nobody.
00:59:50Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:53I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
00:59:56Guess I need to fire them, too.
00:59:58Pardon me.
00:59:59I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:01Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:03What are you trying to say?
01:00:05I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:13I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:18Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:21A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:24You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:26Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:28When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:36What are you talking about?
01:00:37Oh, identity theft.
01:00:40Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:42Yours?
01:00:43Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:46If you don't got it, at least act like you do.
01:00:50Speaking from experience.
01:00:53Look around you.
01:00:55This is the elite among the elite.
01:00:57The best of the best in the medical field.
01:00:59Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:04Good.
01:01:04I'm glad.
01:01:06Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:08Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:11That's enough.
01:01:12Guards, this former employee is threatening us.
01:01:16Kick him out.
01:01:18Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:21I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:25What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:27Grab him.
01:01:42Preston.
01:01:43What the hell is this?
01:01:46Dad.
01:01:47Relax.
01:01:48I, uh...
01:01:48Relax?
01:01:50This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:52I was just kicking him out.
01:01:53Guards, remove him immediately.
01:01:54President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:01:57You get out of my way.
01:01:59Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:00This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:05You are such a fool!
01:02:08Dad.
01:02:09What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:11Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:13This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:17You are a...
01:02:20Disgraced!
01:02:21Dad!
01:02:23My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:27Into a...
01:02:30Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:37President Vale.
01:02:39Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:41Are you out of your mind?
01:02:42He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:44Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:46Dad, I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:48Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:50David!
01:02:51David!
01:02:52Do something!
01:02:52It's cold!
01:02:57Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:00Blanking?
01:03:00Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:02Shut up!
01:03:03Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:06This is ridiculous.
01:03:07I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:10Are you just standing there?
01:03:11Do something!
01:03:14What's the matter, David?
01:03:15If you need help, just ask.
01:03:17All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:20Right here.
01:03:21Right now.
01:03:22I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:25What if I kill him?
01:03:27I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:29I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:31I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:34David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:38Let it go!
01:03:44I can't do this.
01:03:48I can't do this.
01:03:49Okay, I can't.
01:03:50I can't do this.
01:03:51I can't do this without my notebook.
01:03:58That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:00He stole it from me.
01:04:08Okay, okay.
01:04:10I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:15I can't do this.
01:04:17Okay.
01:04:18I got it.
01:04:18I got it.
01:04:19Here.
01:04:20Take it.
01:04:21Take it.
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:22All right.
01:04:23Hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:28Okay.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:41Okay.
01:04:42Okay.
01:04:43Oh.
01:04:45Oh, thank God.
01:04:50How are you doing?
01:04:51What up?
01:04:53Oh.
01:04:54All right.
01:04:56Oh.
01:04:57Oh.
01:04:58Oh.
01:04:58Oh.
01:04:58Oh.
01:04:58Thank God.
01:04:59Hi.
01:04:59Surgical genius.
01:05:01Oh.
01:05:02That's how Val makes history.
01:05:03Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:05Or at least a new department.
01:05:07If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:12Val, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:16That maneuver.
01:05:18That notebook.
01:05:19It's mine.
01:05:20Then tell them.
01:05:25Where is he going?
01:05:26Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:31Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:34Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:41That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:45What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:47He's delusional.
01:05:49Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:52The notebook he used to save your father.
01:05:55That's mine.
01:05:57That's mine.
01:05:57My handwriting.
01:05:58My theories.
01:06:00You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:03I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:07And when it fails,
01:06:10then it will.
01:06:13You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:15The patients will.
01:06:16You can't prove that.
01:06:18Not yet.
01:06:19But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:23Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:29Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:30We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:32Second patient today.
01:06:33Same issue.
01:06:34Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:36These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:38The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:41I mean, come on.
01:06:43Tonight proves it.
01:06:44We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:54I'll be right back.
01:06:56Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:00Talk to me.
01:07:01The vascular fundoclap maneuver failed again.
01:07:04This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:09Use the compression step.
01:07:11That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:13We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:16Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:22I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:25Not mass implementation.
01:07:27Without calibration.
01:07:29It's unstable.
01:07:30It's dangerous.
01:07:31They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:35Now people are paying for it.
01:07:38All good?
01:07:39Of course.
01:07:40Just routine coordination.
01:07:43Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:46Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:48And patients are suffering.
01:07:50You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:52You wouldn't know.
01:07:53Yeah, I would know.
01:07:54Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:07:57And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:02Oh shit.
01:08:09Oh yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:11Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:15Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:18Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging.
01:08:22Because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:26No, you need to perform a Marksman modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation.
01:08:32Followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:43Yes.
01:08:46How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:48This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:51You stole his methods.
01:08:53This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:08:58Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:00Then prove me wrong.
01:09:01Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:06Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:09He was fired.
01:09:10He's humiliated.
01:09:11You're right, I was fired.
01:09:12And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:18You know what? This is pathetic.
01:09:20He's just jealous. He missed his shot.
01:09:23Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:25When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:28Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:32I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:46I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:50And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coating patients.
01:09:56Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:09:59You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:05The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:09Dad?
01:10:10You don't see the full picture here.
01:10:12Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:15This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:20Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:25Because of his lies.
01:10:28You saved me.
01:10:29You saved Nelson.
01:10:31And now, you can save Vale.
01:10:34I tried to warn you all.
01:10:36No one listened.
01:10:37They're listening now.
01:10:39You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:44And probably even more than me.
01:10:47It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:50Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:10:55They weren't ready.
01:10:56They needed supervision.
01:10:59Precision.
01:11:00Development.
01:11:01Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:05Oh.
01:11:06You can't prove that.
01:11:08Security footage.
01:11:12Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:17Already submitted to the board.
01:11:19I built on what he started.
01:11:22Okay?
01:11:23I didn't steal.
01:11:25I enhanced it.
01:11:27Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:30You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:32He did more than that.
01:11:34He put lives at risk.
01:11:36To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:40We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:43This is absurd.
01:11:45This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:47Oh, it's your night.
01:11:49Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:52You lied to me.
01:11:53I didn't lie.
01:11:54I simplified the truth.
01:11:57Simplify?
01:11:57You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:02You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:05You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:08That's malpractice.
01:12:10They worked.
01:12:11Nelson's alive.
01:12:12Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:14Yeah, because of me.
01:12:16Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:21Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:23Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:26I tested them for years.
01:12:29It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:31Not without training.
01:12:33You're rewriting history?
01:12:35No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:38Adrian Morksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:42And without him, it won't.
01:12:44This is absurd!
01:12:46You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:49He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:51You are.
01:12:53You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:12:56And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:04Taking his side, dad?
01:13:06I'm your son.
01:13:07I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:09And so will the board.
01:13:11We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:14Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:19Suspended?
01:13:20No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:21You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:24We understand the liability.
01:13:26That's enough.
01:13:28Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:34Dad, you're not going to let them drag me out like this.
01:13:37I'm your son!
01:13:38No, don't you touch me.
01:13:39You're not a child.
01:13:41Hey, dad!
01:13:43Please!
01:13:43Get off me!
01:13:47You're not a child!
01:13:49You're not my responsibility!
01:13:57Adrian, please.
01:13:59I made a mistake.
01:14:00I see that now.
01:14:01I should have believed in you.
01:14:03I should have stood by you.
01:14:05You were right about everything.
01:14:10Just give me a second chance.
01:14:12Please!
01:14:14I still love you.
01:14:17Love?
01:14:18You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:21You don't understand.
01:14:23I thought he was finished.
01:14:26I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:28So you sold him out.
01:14:29Mocked him.
01:14:31Over and over again.
01:14:33I was scared.
01:14:34I...
01:14:35I didn't know what to do.
01:14:37Oh, you knew.
01:14:38You just didn't care.
01:14:40Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:44Please.
01:14:46Say something.
01:14:48Anything.
01:14:49You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:51And he spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:04You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:06And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:12The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board and David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:21We're rebuilding.
01:15:23And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:30I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:33You had your chance too.
01:15:35I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:37Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:42Adrian 2.0.
01:15:43I'm not coming back.
01:15:47You're choosing her?
01:15:48Our rival?
01:15:50You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:53I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:15:57Just typical.
01:15:59Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:04She's just gonna use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:08Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:11Get me out of here.
01:16:13Now!
01:16:31Karma has good timing.
01:16:35Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:38We have lives to save.
01:16:40Hey!
01:16:42Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:46I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:52Now?
01:16:53Well, just in a time like the present.
01:17:03This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:04It's not bad.
01:17:06I need a second opinion.
01:17:11Well, I've got all night.
01:17:12And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:18Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:21You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:24But I am very thorough.
01:17:33Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:38Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:40and there were a couple of people in the office.
01:18:00You're already in the office.
