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.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time. The bleeding? It's under control. But how did he...

00:19:21I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques
00:19:24as long as the boss's son is impressed
00:19:26I'll be chief of surgery by next month
00:19:29Mr. Vail
00:19:30I've identified who's responsible
00:19:31for all the issues in OR3 today
00:19:34he was sleeping
00:19:36while the patient almost died on the table
00:19:38clear-cut medical malfeasance
00:19:48Dr. Hart
00:19:51incredible news
00:19:52Dr. Adrian Marksman
00:19:54that surgical pioneer
00:19:55that you've been tracking
00:19:56he's just been terminated
00:19:58from Vail Hospital
00:20:00when?
00:20:01less than an hour ago
00:20:02dismissed by President Vail's son
00:20:05oh
00:20:07amazing
00:20:08I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face
00:20:11when he discovers
00:20:12that his Price Surgeon
00:20:13was fired by his submental son
00:20:16with our respect
00:20:18we're still establishing our reputation
00:20:20would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:23even consider joining us?
00:20:25we'll offer him whatever it takes
00:20:26full department autonomy
00:20:29research funding
00:20:31state-of-the-art facilities
00:20:34and if necessary
00:20:36my personal involvement
00:20:39his techniques could revolutionize
00:20:41surgical care
00:20:42have my car brought round
00:20:44I'm going to Vail Hospital personally
00:20:47and Adrian Marksman
00:20:49he's leaving with me
00:20:58Malfeasance
00:20:58what kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:01don't insult our intelligence
00:21:02a patient coded while you were off taking a nap
00:21:05the timing couldn't possibly be coincidental
00:21:07yet you stand there denying it
00:21:09this is crazy
00:21:10you've all passed me off
00:21:12as 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
00:21:30that 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
00:21:37please detain him
00:21:44what exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:47either confess
00:21:48to medical malfeasance
00:21:49or
00:21:50they'll escort you to the police
00:21:52for criminal negligence
00:21:53Adrian
00:21:54I never realized
00:21:56you were capable
00:21:56of endangering patients
00:21:58what other medical atrocities
00:22:00have you committed?
00:22:01you better confess now
00:22:02or we'll do everything in your power
00:22:03to make sure you lose
00:22:04your 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
00:22:18underestimate
00:22:18my family's influence
00:22:20don't you?
00:22:21don't you realize
00:22:22that Mr. Vail here
00:22:23can end your entire career
00:22:24with one phone call?
00:22:26sir
00:22:26I strongly recommend
00:22:27that we make an example out of him
00:22:29after all
00:22:30he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:31wherever he goes
00:22:32Preston
00:22:33you 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
00:22:44is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:46and every medical institute
00:22:47in the country
00:22:48plans in motion, Adrian
00:22:50do you know what that means?
00:22:52it means that you
00:22:53will never practice medicine
00:22:55in this country again
00:22:58I have one question before I go
00:23:00does your father know you fired me?
00:23:04my father's the one
00:23:05who asked me to fire you
00:23:06you dipshit
00:23:09you thought you were
00:23:10some brilliant surgical god
00:23:12didn't you?
00:23:13security
00:23:14remove this criminal
00:23:15from hospital property immediately
00:23:17immediately
00:23:17yes doctor

00:23:22that's quite enough
00:23:35let him go
00:23:38Dr. Marksman
00:23:39is about to accept the position
00:23:41as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:44at Heart Medical Center
00:23:47I know you
00:23:48you're Vivian Hart
00:23:50the surgical upstart
00:23:51from that medical clinic across town
00:23:53that's Dr. Vivian Hart to you
00:23:56Mr. Vail
00:23:57Vivian
00:23:59I haven't seen you since 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 in the country of course
00:24:09wait
00:24:10are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:14he was sleeping during rounds
00:24:16is this how Vail Hospital discards 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
00:24:29with all due respect
00:24:31this is a conversation between medical directors
00:24:33someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence
00:24:36Dr. Hart
00:24:38I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability
00:24:42he compromised patient safety
00:24:44and
00:24:45I don't believe I requested your medical opinion
00:24:47Dr.
00:24:48Marksman
00:24:49David Marksman
00:24:50I have neither time nor interest
00:24:52in your assessment
00:24:55after he
00:24:56decided to go to sleep
00:24:58we had a critical surgical complication
00:25:00his negligence led to the problem
00:25:02his actions not only endangered patients
00:25:05it compromised my hospital's reputation
00:25:09are 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 his
00:25:24dangerous 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
00:25:35President Vail was the one that recruited me
00:25:37this makes absolutely no sense
00:25:39please Adrian
00:25:40the 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
00:25:56would you consider joining
00:25:58Heart Medical Center
00:25:59as our chief of surgery?
00:26:02well I've

00:27:07Dr. Hart
00:27:08have you completely lost your medical judgment
00:27:11or are you on drugs?
00:27:12this
00:27:13is absurd
00:27:14he was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail
00:27:17and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:22the medical board should review your hiring practices
00:27:27Vivian
00:27:28I appreciate your confidence
00:27:31this isn't about money
00:27:34maybe there's something beyond
00:27:35professional opportunity that might interest you

00:27:41she can't do that
00:27:42are you a doctor
00:27:43or a call girl?
00:27:45at Heart Medical Center
00:27:46you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves
00:27:50including
00:27:51a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value
00:27:55and I do mean anything Dr. Marksman
00:28:00Dr. Hart

00:28:44and all of its affiliated institutions
00:28:46you know what
00:28:47spare us the theatrics Adrian

00:28:55oh
00:28:56your stupidity
00:28:59it's just
00:29:00astonishing

00:29:03like disposable scalpels
00:29:04this man
00:29:06is a life-saving artist
00:29:12Dr. Hart
00:29:13I understand there's some competition
00:29:15between your center
00:29:16and Bale Hospital
00:29:16yeah
00:29:17look
00:29:18I'll be real
00:29:20we're struggling to get out

00:31:47I stole it
00:31:48and then couldn't

00:31:53groundbreaking

00:32:42who's this
00:32:46Nelson Vail speaking
00:32:48President Vail
00:32:49Dr. Vivian Hart here
00:32:50I am calling
00:32:52to let you know
00:32:53that as of this morning
00:32:54Hart Medical Center
00:32:55has officially entered
00:32:56the experimental
00:32:57surgery arena
00:32:58Revolutionary surgical
00:33:00procedures
00:33:00are Vail
00:33:01hospitals domain
00:33:02Are you absolutely
00:33:04certain you want
00:33:05to pick this fight?
00:33:06This is merely
00:33:07a professional
00:33:08courtesy call
00:33:09not an invitation
00:33:10for debate
00:33:11Now just
00:33:12Just that conniving
00:33:18bitch plotting
00:33:19She knows
00:33:20Adrian
00:33:21is our
00:33:22surgical
00:33:23secret weapon
00:33:24Why would she
00:33:25deliberately provoke
00:33:26a medical war
00:33:27she has
00:33:27absolutely no chance
00:33:28of winning
00:33:31unless
00:33:38Dad we've got
00:33:39multiple traumas
00:33:40coming in
00:33:40Just tell me
00:33:41you didn't
00:33:41fire Dr. Marksman
00:33:43Dad
00:33:44relax
00:33:45I fired the other
00:33:46one
00:33:46that incompetent
00:33:48slacker resident
00:33:48that you mentioned
00:33:49Then explain to me
00:33:50why Hart Medical Center
00:33:53believes they can
00:33:54suddenly challenge
00:33:55our surgical supremacy
00:33:56Because I
00:33:58masterfully led
00:34:00Vivian Hart
00:34:00into a false
00:34:01sense of reality
00:34:02It's not way
00:34:03a mediocre doctor
00:34:04can revolutionize
00:34:05surgical procedures
00:34:06I convinced Vivian
00:34:08that she's acquired
00:34:09surgical brilliance
00:34:10but in reality
00:34:11she's hired
00:34:12our disgraced
00:34:13discarded loser
00:34:14So you deliberately
00:34:15manipulated Vivian?
00:34:17She thinks
00:34:18she's hired
00:34:19genius
00:34:19behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:21groundbreaking procedures
00:34:22That's why she had
00:34:23the audacity
00:34:24to declare war on you
00:34:24Impressive son
00:34:26You're finally showing
00:34:27some of the leadership
00:34:28qualities
00:34:29I've been waiting
00:34:30to see out of you
00:34:31I think you're ready
00:34:32to take complete control
00:34:33of our experimental
00:34:34surgical division
00:34:38Dad, this
00:34:39this is everything
00:34:40I've worked for
00:34:40Thank you
00:34:41We'll get to work
00:34:42immediately
00:34:43We're going to expose
00:34:44Hart Medical Center
00:34:46for the low-grade
00:34:48institution it truly is
00:34:50Their humiliation
00:34:52will be quick
00:34:53and absolute
00:34:54I will edge down
00:34:57Darling
00:34:58Surgical innovation
00:34:59is the future of Vail
00:35:01Preston only got
00:35:02his MBA last year
00:35:03Do you really think
00:35:05it's wise to entrust him
00:35:06with our most
00:35:07prestigious program?
00:35:08I would never take
00:35:09a risk like this
00:35:11if Preston was
00:35:12our only asset
00:35:13Remember
00:35:14we have the ultimate
00:35:16surgical secret weapon
00:35:18You mean the surgeon
00:35:19that saved my life?
00:35:20Dr. Adrian Marksman
00:35:22Exactly
00:35:23And all I need to do
00:35:25is stay hands off
00:35:28and let him
00:35:30exercise his
00:35:31extraordinary talents
00:35:32As long as Adrian
00:35:34is with
00:35:35Vail Hospital
00:35:36Hart Medical Center
00:35:37has no chance
00:35:39of competing
00:35:40Not only that
00:35:41Vivian fell
00:35:42for Preston's manipulation
00:35:44and hired that
00:35:45medical disaster
00:35:46Dr. David Marksman
00:35:49What we have to do now
00:35:51is sit back
00:35:52and watch her
00:35:54would-be empire
00:35:56crumble
00:36:02So, now that you've seen
00:36:04the surgical department
00:36:07What do you think?
00:36:09It's not bad
00:36:10It's a small team
00:36:11but they're talented
00:36:13What you've built here
00:36:14It's impressive, Viv
00:36:18It's good to see you again
00:36:19after all these years, Adrian
00:36:22You too
00:36:23You need to expand
00:36:25It's too small
00:36:26for what I'm planning
00:36:28Also
00:36:30I heard
00:36:31you weren't the only surgeon
00:36:32Preston Vale fired
00:36:38We have all the angles
00:36:39figured out, don't you?
00:36:40And I always find
00:36:41the best one
00:36:50I'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:53Good
00:36:55The faster we rise
00:36:57the more rewarding
00:36:59this partnership becomes
00:37:13This better be good
00:37:14Mr. Vale
00:37:17You wanted to see me?
00:37:22My father
00:37:23has granted me
00:37:24complete authority
00:37:25over our experimental
00:37:26surgical department
00:37:27given your new position
00:37:29as chief of surgery
00:37:31I'm appointing you
00:37:32head of innovation
00:37:32Mr. Vale
00:37:34I, uh
00:37:34Is there an issue with that?
00:37:36No, absolutely not
00:37:38The budget for innovation
00:37:40is astronomical
00:37:41and President Vale
00:37:42has already handed control
00:37:44to his son
00:37:45If I oversee these procedures
00:37:47I could divert
00:37:48significant resources
00:37:49to my personal research
00:37:51Mr. Vale
00:37:52You can trust me completely
00:37:54I am precisely
00:37:55the right man
00:37:56for the job
00:37:59Preston
00:38:00we have a catastrophe
00:38:01on our hands
00:38:01Two attending surgeons
00:38:02just submitted
00:38:03their resignations
00:38:03simultaneously
00:38:04The department
00:38:05can't possibly
00:38:05maintain its caseload
00:38:06What?
00:38:07They both resigned
00:38:08at once
00:38:08What was their explanation?
00:38:10They refused
00:38:10to disclose their reasons
00:38:11But there's talk
00:38:12they were recruited
00:38:12by a former Vale physician
00:38:14along with the three
00:38:15other surgeons
00:38:16you fired before
00:38:16Former physician
00:38:18Adrian Marksman
00:38:19this has his
00:38:19saboteur signature
00:38:20all over it
00:38:21Preston
00:38:22What's our contingency plan?
00:38:24The surgical department
00:38:25is severely understaffed
00:38:26If any more surgeons
00:38:27leave
00:38:27patients will suffer
00:38:29Okay, everybody
00:38:30needs to remain calm
00:38:33You still have me
00:38:34I can rebuild
00:38:36this department
00:38:36Ah, yes
00:38:38With your stellar reputation
00:38:40we should be able
00:38:40to get the best
00:38:41of the best
00:38:41Exactly
00:38:42So we lost
00:38:44some second-rate talent
00:38:45Let him go
00:38:48I'll make some calls
00:38:49to Cedars-Sinai
00:38:50and UCLA
00:38:53Good work
00:38:54Marksman
00:38:57This is working out
00:38:59perfectly
00:38:59Now I can install
00:39:00my own allies
00:39:01in key positions
00:39:02Soon
00:39:03I'll control
00:39:04the entire hospital's
00:39:05medical direction
00:39:29It's an honor to meet you
00:39:30Dr. Hart
00:39:35This is Dr. Parker here
00:39:36He's a triple board
00:39:38certified surgeon
00:39:39and soon
00:39:39he'll be the head
00:39:40of trauma surgery
00:39:41This is Dr. Rose
00:39:42Chen
00:39:44Rose
00:39:44and Thomas
00:39:46and Thomas
00:39:46all consummate professionals
00:39:47my most trusted colleagues
00:39:49back at Vail
00:39:53With this surgical team
00:39:54Hart Medical
00:39:56can revolutionize
00:39:57surgical care
00:39:57all across the country
00:40:00actually the whole world
00:40:01We're eager to begin
00:40:03Dr. Hart
00:40:03Well
00:40:05welcome to
00:40:06Hart Medical Center
00:40:08I am thrilled
00:40:09to have surgeons
00:40:10of your caliber
00:40:10joining us
00:40:11but
00:40:12I do need
00:40:13to be transparent
00:40:14We have got
00:40:15considerable ground
00:40:16to cover
00:40:17before we can
00:40:17truly challenge
00:40:18Vail Hospital's
00:40:19dominance
00:40:19Have no fear
00:40:20Dr. Hart
00:40:21With Adrian
00:40:22leading our team
00:40:23we'll be
00:40:23three steps ahead
00:40:24of anything
00:40:25Vail attempts
00:40:26Yes
00:40:27but
00:40:27Vail has already
00:40:28implemented
00:40:29Adrian's
00:40:30breakthrough
00:40:30surgical procedure
00:40:31protocols
00:40:32Yeah
00:40:33about that
00:40:34It's a preliminary
00:40:35version
00:40:36If they continue
00:40:36to develop
00:40:37this approach
00:40:37without modification
00:40:39Then what?
00:40:39A lot of deaths
00:40:41A lot of lawsuits
00:40:42A lot of patients
00:40:44could be harmed
00:40:45or worse
00:40:45These procedures
00:40:46weren't ready
00:40:47for widespread
00:40:47implementation
00:40:48without proper
00:40:49refinement
00:40:50Those techniques
00:40:51require precise
00:40:52calibration
00:40:53and specialized
00:40:54training
00:40:54without that foundation
00:40:56We're talking
00:40:57about serious
00:40:58complications
00:40:59preventable harm
00:41:00Our first priority
00:41:01has to be
00:41:02patient safety
00:41:03We need to
00:41:04perfect these
00:41:04procedures
00:41:05and then we can
00:41:06find a way
00:41:07to prevent Vail
00:41:07from continuing
00:41:08with the flawed
00:41:09protocols
00:41:10Exactly
00:41:11It's not about
00:41:12competition
00:41:12or pride
00:41:13It's about
00:41:14saving lives
00:41:17We're using
00:41:18our experience
00:41:19with the trial
00:41:19procedures
00:41:20I did at Vail
00:41:21to develop
00:41:21next generation
00:41:22surgical techniques
00:41:24eliminating
00:41:24all the previous
00:41:26complications
00:41:26and inefficiencies
00:41:28Even if Vail
00:41:29Hospital analyzes
00:41:30our fundamental
00:41:31approach
00:41:32and attempts
00:41:32to create
00:41:33something new
00:41:33we'll maintain
00:41:35our significant
00:41:36advantage
00:41:36And if they
00:41:38stubbornly continue
00:41:39with their flawed
00:41:40protocols
00:41:40rest assured
00:41:41their outcomes
00:41:43will deteriorate
00:41:44I don't wish
00:41:45it upon their
00:41:45patients
00:41:46that's for sure
00:41:47Remember this
00:41:48moment
00:41:48In this battle
00:41:50for medical
00:41:50supremacy
00:41:51Heart Medical
00:41:52Center
00:41:52will emerge
00:41:53victorious
00:42:01It's 3am
00:42:03Lost track of time
00:42:04again
00:42:07Viv
00:42:10You surprised me
00:42:13Looks like you
00:42:14could use a nice
00:42:15rub
00:42:16Do you mind?
00:42:18No
00:42:20I mean
00:42:22Yeah
00:42:22What do you give
00:42:24all your surgeons
00:42:24massages?
00:42:26Only the ones
00:42:27I really
00:42:28really like
00:42:34You really
00:42:35really like me?
00:42:36Adrienne
00:42:37I've really
00:42:37really liked you
00:42:38since residency
00:42:40Nothing's changed
00:42:42You were our most
00:42:43brilliant resident
00:42:44in the program
00:42:45I never imagined
00:42:46someone like you
00:42:47would like me
00:42:48There was never
00:42:48anyone else
00:42:49that got my
00:42:49attention
00:42:51Only you
00:42:54But you were
00:42:55completely oblivious
00:42:56And then you just
00:42:57vanished from the
00:42:59program
00:43:00Well I left
00:43:01to join the
00:43:01Experimental Surgical
00:43:02Fellowship
00:43:03in Switzerland
00:43:05I know
00:43:07Your talent was
00:43:08extraordinary
00:43:09even then
00:43:11Back then
00:43:12I made a promise
00:43:13to myself
00:43:13that we would
00:43:14work together
00:43:14again someday
00:43:15You know
00:43:16when I
00:43:17established
00:43:17Heart Medical
00:43:18Center
00:43:18my first priority
00:43:20was recruiting
00:43:21you
00:43:21But that
00:43:22manipulative
00:43:24tyrant
00:43:25Nelson Vale
00:43:26had already
00:43:27secured your
00:43:27contracts
00:43:28with ridiculous
00:43:29incentives
00:43:31I understand
00:43:32now
00:43:39So
00:43:41should we
00:43:42pick up
00:43:43where we left
00:43:44off in residency
00:43:45You're the boss
00:43:46That's right
00:43:47And as your boss
00:43:49I say
00:43:50come home
00:43:51with me
00:43:52Tonight
00:43:53You lost everything
00:43:55when Preston
00:43:55fired you
00:43:56Hospital privileges
00:43:59research funding
00:44:01Even your hospital
00:44:03subsidized apartment
00:44:06You have literally
00:44:07nowhere else
00:44:08to go
00:44:08tonight
00:44:10Come with me
00:44:13Where?
00:44:15My place
00:44:23Alright
00:44:24I'll admit it
00:44:26That was the best
00:44:28meal I've had
00:44:28in months
00:44:29Careful Dr. Marksman
00:44:30I might start
00:44:32thinking you're
00:44:32easy to please
00:44:33That just depends
00:44:35on the company
00:44:36Well
00:44:37starting tonight
00:44:37this is your
00:44:39new home
00:44:40Until the program
00:44:41is fully established
00:44:42it just
00:44:43makes sense
00:44:44Are you sure
00:44:45about that?
00:44:46We already work
00:44:47late hours
00:44:48Living together
00:44:50could get
00:44:51complicated
00:44:52Well I like
00:44:53complicated
00:44:55Keeps things
00:44:56interesting
00:44:57And
00:44:58where exactly
00:45:00will I be
00:45:00sleeping?
00:45:01Well
00:45:04My master suite
00:45:06has a
00:45:08California king
00:45:12Plenty of room
00:45:13If things ever
00:45:15need to get
00:45:16more
00:45:17collaborative
00:45:19Really?
00:45:22Relax
00:45:22I'm only teasing
00:45:25Tonight
00:45:26at least
00:45:28Come on
00:45:31I'll show you
00:45:32your room
00:45:34Unless you'd
00:45:35rather have a nightcap
00:45:37and mine
00:45:44Things could get
00:45:45dangerous
00:45:50Is this pathetic
00:45:51attempt really
00:45:52the best that
00:45:52you can do?
00:45:57You are
00:45:58completely
00:45:58worthless as
00:45:59surgeons
00:46:00Dr. Marksman
00:46:02The experimental
00:46:03procedures we're
00:46:03trying to replicate
00:46:04here are
00:46:04extraordinarily
00:46:05intricate
00:46:06We need at least
00:46:07six months
00:46:08to properly
00:46:08master
00:46:09Six months?
00:46:11You have
00:46:1172 hours
00:46:13and I expect
00:46:13hourly updates
00:46:14on my desk
00:46:15Sir
00:46:16brushing these
00:46:16delicate procedures
00:46:18dramatically increases
00:46:20the possibility
00:46:20of potentially
00:46:21fatal complications
00:46:22Three days
00:46:22and you don't
00:46:23get one hour
00:46:24more
00:46:25Go
00:46:26Go
00:46:30Report Dr. Marksman
00:46:32What's our status?
00:46:33Excellent progress
00:46:35Mr. Vale
00:46:35We will be advancing
00:46:36to phase two
00:46:37implementation
00:46:38within three days
00:46:39That's exactly
00:46:40what I wanted to hear
00:46:41I knew my judgment
00:46:43in appointing you
00:46:43was flawless
00:46:49Preston I need an update
00:46:51on the experimental
00:46:52surgery program

00:47:06my father understands
00:47:07your invaluable
00:47:08contribution
00:47:10This is my shot

00:47:12chief of surgery
00:47:13With the right
00:47:13maneuvering

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.
00:51:21Well, don't work too late.
00:51:26You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:36The incompetence 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
00:52:00clueless 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.
00:52:38I 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,
00:54:02it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:16Dr. Hurt, 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 ahead of...
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?
00:54:46Vail, 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.
00:56:18Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:24is like the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:27will you marry me?
00:56:32Will 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.
00:56:45Yeah, 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.
00:56:52She'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?
00:57:28The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:32Please, try again later.
00:57:57It's 20 in one day.
00:58:00All clean.
00:58:01All stable.
00:58:02The experimental 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,
00:58:24and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:27Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:47What the fuck?
00:58:48What the fuck?
00:58:48You're my date, and you're wasted.
00:58:51I'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?
00:59:21It'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're 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.
00:59:46The fraud.
00:59:48The nobody.
00:59:50You showed up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:53I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
00:59:56Guess I need to fire them, too.
00:59:58Pardon me, I 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.
01:00:17I've got 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?
01:00:38Identity 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, you just 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.
01:01:05I'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.
01:01:42Presti.
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 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 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...
01:02:25You turned it into a...
01:02:27Into a...
01:02:28You...
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!
01:02:53It'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!
01:03:40I...
01:03:41I...
01:03:43I...
01:03:44I can't.
01:03:45I can't do this.
01:03:48Okay, 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.
01:04:15Okay.
01:04:17I gotta, I gotta...
01:04:19Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:22All right, hold his head.
01:04:23But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:28Okay.
01:04:36Here you go.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:40Yes.
01:04:41Okay.
01:04:42Great.
01:04:43Oh.
01:04:45Oh, thank God.
01:04:50How are you doing?
01:04:51What up?
01:04:53Oh.
01:04:57Oh, that's my guy.
01:04:59Surgical genius.
01:05:02That's how Val makes history.
01:05:04Somebody 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.
01:05:12Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:16That maneuver, that 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.
01:05:56My 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,
01:06:10and 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.
01:06:17Not 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.
01:07:02The vascular bundle clamp 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.
01:07:37All 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.
01:08:09This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:11Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:15Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:17Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because 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.
01:08:59Then 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 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?
01:09:19This is pathetic.
01:09:20He's just jealous.
01:09:22He 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?
01:09:28Well, even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:33I 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 coding 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, you 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.
01:10:37Well, they're listening now.
01:10:39You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two, and 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 of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:17Already submitted to the board.
01:11:19I built on what he started, okay?
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 to 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?
01:11:58You 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.
01:12:24Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:25I 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 Morgzman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:42And without him, it won't.
01:12:45This 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.
01:13:29Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Morgzman, come with us.
01:13:34Dad, you're not going to let him 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!
01:13:42I'm your side built back!
01:13:43You're just kidding, son of a...
01:13:44Dad, why don't you do something, please?
01:13:46No, get off me!
01:13:47I'm just...
01:13:47I'm 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.
01:14:30Mocked 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 you 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.
01:15:13The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:18And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:21We're rebuilding.
01:15:23And I want you back.
01:15:25As 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.
01:15:52I 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 going to 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!
01:16:15No!
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, not so fast, mister.
01:16:44Hotshot genius sergeant.
01:16:47I 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.
01:17:05It's not bad.
01:17:07I 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.
01:17:40Having
01:17:40Yes, thanks.
01:17:43Good for taking a
01:17:45Good for you.
01:17:47Good for you.
01:17:48Good for you.
01:17:52Good for you.
01:17:56Good pours.
01:17:57Good for you, guys.
01:18:00Good for you, guys.
01:18:00You're not going to Columbus.
01:18:00We're two birb all along.
