You Fired A Genius Surgeon
Transcript
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
00:00:13now 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. I can't leave this
00:00:29one, where's Dr. Stevens? We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:51Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month. Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency
00:00:57isn't ready for a level one trauma like this. Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple. Whipple? For trauma? That's insane. Trust me.
00:01:18Metzenbaum scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure. That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Robicottery. Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time. The bleeding. It's under control. But how did he...
00:01:48The silk suture. Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:01I've never seen anything like this. Almost done.
00:02:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:25Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible. I thought you were just some rookie
00:02:30surgeon, but that. That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed. Where did you learn
00:02:36to operate like that? What you just did will go down in the history books. Wait. I heard President
00:02:41Vale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture. Miss Vale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:05Doctor. The nurses. They said you did it. And you, you actually did.
00:03:15Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation. Every surgeon on the west coast said it was
00:03:20inoperable, that she only had weeks to live. But you, you saved my Catherine. She'll make a full
00:03:27recovery, President Vale. Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vale. My hospital.
00:03:36Look, I'll explain later. Right now, we have three critical patients that need specialized
00:03:40procedures. It's going to take hours. Y'all should go home. Get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here. Okay. Good work, everyone.
00:04:21They're all stable. Every single one of them. Stabilized.
00:04:30Oh, the sun's coming up. You must have operated all night. You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks. All right. It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:57Hey, you.
00:05:02Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night. I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:13How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:17Because I know you. Better than anyone.
00:05:26Blueberry. Your favorite.
00:05:29You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:32You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:38I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:50It's the third time this week.
00:05:52Hospital food's better when it's someone else's.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:56So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:59Not sure. I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:02I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:05With a town like this, do you think that he'd be running his own department right now?
00:06:16What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:18Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:24Who is this guy?
00:06:27Preston, Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:30He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife who just recovered from an experimental
00:06:35pancreatico duodenectomy.
00:06:38I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:45Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:47Sir, about last-
00:06:48Save it.
00:06:50Parker.
00:06:51You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:55You're fired.
00:06:57Clear out your office.
00:06:58New management means new standards.
00:07:01It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:07Attention, everybody's attention now.
00:07:10If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:16No complications, no deaths.
00:07:19This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:23Who's he thinking he is, Dr. House?
00:07:27What is this?
00:07:29Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:38We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:42That was from my residency direction.
00:07:44Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:46Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:51you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:53You're fired.
00:07:54Excuse me?
00:07:55Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop just to show her how grateful we are for her
00:07:59time here.
00:08:00Yes, sir.
00:08:01Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:05That was good.
00:08:06Let's go.
00:08:11Well, well, well.
00:08:13What do we have here?
00:08:15Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:18Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:24Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:26No, you didn't.
00:08:28But here's one anyway.
00:08:29You are fired.
00:08:34Are you serious?
00:08:35You're firing me?
00:08:37Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:40Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:43Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:47He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:51What's he make?
00:08:52$700,000.
00:08:54That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:56$700?
00:08:58Are you insane?
00:08:59You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:02This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:05I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:07I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:08Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:11I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:17Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:22Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:27My career comes first.
00:09:29Boy, bye.
00:09:31There must be some clerical error.
00:09:33His credentials.
00:09:35Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:38Fiona.
00:09:42Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:49Clear out your office, clear out your locker, and get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:55This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:56You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:57Oh, you don't get to wear that.
00:09:58What?
00:10:05I see.
00:10:08Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:11You don't understand.
00:10:12He's the one who-
00:10:13Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:16Beat it.
00:10:17Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:19Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:39I understand.
00:10:41Hospital politics.
00:10:43I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:47Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:59You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:06The board won't like this.
00:11:08Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:10Patient care will suffer.
00:11:12Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:14I intend to wield it.
00:11:16Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:20Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:23No, Preston.
00:11:24He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:26I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:29Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:32Do you want to be with the nobody, collecting unemployment checks, or the man who signs everyone's
00:11:39paychecks, including yours?
00:11:42The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:46Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded.
00:11:49Who's in charge around here?
00:11:59Hey, Dad.
00:12:00What's wrong?
00:12:01Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:03She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:11Of course.
00:12:11What is it?
00:12:12That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:18Dr. Marksman?
00:12:19Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:22Get out of my hospital.
00:12:24Christ, the resident I just fired?
00:12:28Preston, are you there?
00:12:31Check the staff roster.
00:12:33See if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:12:37I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:40He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:47The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:56Ah, yes, I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:01Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:05Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:09Three times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:11Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:12That's our man.
00:13:14There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:18Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:20Do me a favor, fire him.
00:13:23Already done, Dad.
00:13:24I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:27Thank God.
00:13:28Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:31Good work, son.
00:13:33I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:36Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:39I got everything else under control.
00:13:47See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:52Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:55Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:57Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:58Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:00The six-car pileup.
00:14:01You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:02What's your point?
00:14:03ER is crashing.
00:14:05We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:12Give me the situation.
00:14:14Now.
00:14:15Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:18Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:22We're losing patients.
00:14:23What are our options?
00:14:25There might be one solution.
00:14:26Well, spit it out.
00:14:28Dr. Marksman.
00:14:29He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:32If we can get him back here.
00:14:34Marksman.
00:14:34Right.
00:14:35That's the men we need.
00:14:35Fiona, call him.
00:14:37Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:39The genius surgeon.
00:14:40The one I didn't fire.
00:14:41Keep up.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:49Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:05Idiot left his research notes.
00:15:08Mmm.
00:15:09Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:12Wait.
00:15:14These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:18Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:24Hello?
00:15:25Dr. Marksman.
00:15:26Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:28Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:31there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:33I'm on my way.
00:15:37With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:41They'll make me department head, and I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:51Well?
00:15:53Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:16:05Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:09Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:11I was using him to advance my career and my future.
00:16:15That's my girl.
00:16:23Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:26the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:29To hell with this.
00:16:31I'm going out.
00:16:46piece of shit.
00:16:51Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:55Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:57You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:02You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:06I can choose who I want.
00:17:07And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:10You pathetic loser.
00:17:27We're done, Adrian.
00:17:29Ancient history.
00:17:31Are you serious?
00:17:33Just like that.
00:17:35Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:40Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:42Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:44I need someone with a future.
00:17:46Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:53Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:55It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:18:03Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:04I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:18:10Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:13You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:15Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:17I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:20Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:18:23I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:27Get over yourself.
00:18:28You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:32President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:38We're done.
00:18:40I'm not done.
00:18:42But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:47You can count on that.
00:18:52No, no, no.
00:18:52Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:55Your troubles are just getting started.
00:19:01He'll authorize you to be here.
00:19:03Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:08from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:12You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:14Ah, yes, the very same.
00:19:16My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:19Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:22These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:27As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:32Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:38He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:41Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:51Dr. Hart.
00:19:54Incredible news.
00:19:55Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:19:59he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:03When?
00:20:04Less than an hour ago.
00:20:06Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:10Amazing.
00:20:11I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon
00:20:16was fired by his submental son.
00:20:19With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:24Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:28I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:30Full department autonomy, research funding, state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:37and, if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:20:42His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:46Have my car brought round.
00:20:48I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:51And Adrian Marksman?
00:20:53He's leaving with me.
00:21:01What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:04Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:06A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:09The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:11Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:12This is crazy.
00:21:14You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:17And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital
00:21:20under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:24you blame me.
00:21:26The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:28isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:31If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:21:34you would still have a job.
00:21:37I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:40Security, please detain him.
00:21:48What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:50Either confess to medical malfeasance,
00:21:53or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:21:57Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:02What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:04You better confess now, or we'll do everything in your power
00:22:07to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:11Fine.
00:22:12Go ahead.
00:22:13Do your worst.
00:22:15Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:20You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:25Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:29Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:22:33After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:36Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:39Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:42I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:45As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital,
00:22:50and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:52Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:54Do you know what that means?
00:22:56It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:23:02I have one question before I go.
00:23:05Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:07My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:23:13You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:23:17Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:23:21Immediately.
00:23:22Yes, doctor.
00:23:23Right away, sir.
00:23:26That's quite enough.
00:23:39Let him go.
00:23:41Let him go.
00:23:57That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:24:02Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
00:24:07What are you doing here?
00:24:09Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:24:12What?
00:24:14Wait.
00:24:14Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:18He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:21Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:25Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:24:32Dr. Hart, with all due respect.
00:24:35This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:38Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:24:40Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:46He compromised patient safety and-
00:24:49I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, doctor-
00:24:52Marksman.
00:24:53David Marksman.
00:24:54I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:24:59After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:04His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:07His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:13Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic oath?
00:25:17Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:22Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:26He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:25:31Dangerous shortcuts.
00:25:34Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:36His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:40President Vail was the one that recruited me. This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:44Please, Adrian. The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:49Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:25:55Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute.
00:25:58To any of you.
00:26:00Dr. Marksman.
00:26:01Would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:26:06Well, I've-
00:26:07Full department autonomy.
00:26:09Protected research time.
00:26:11A surgical fellowship in your name.
00:26:13And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:16noches-
00:26:17No.
00:26:17No.
00:26:31No.
00:26:32No.
00:26:43No.
00:26:44No.
00:26:44No.
00:26:45No.
00:26:47and cash.
00:26:49Dr. Marksman,
00:26:50I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:54Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:56I mean what I say.
00:27:03Chief of Surgery?
00:27:07You're offering all this to a surgeon
00:27:10who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:12Dr. Hart,
00:27:13have you completely lost your medical judgment
00:27:15or are you on drugs?
00:27:17This is absurd.
00:27:19He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail
00:27:21and now you're positioning him
00:27:23to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:27Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:32Vivian,
00:27:33I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:36This isn't about money.
00:27:38Maybe there's something beyond
00:27:40professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:43She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:45She can't do that.
00:27:47Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:50At Hart Medical Center,
00:27:51you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves,
00:27:56including a boss that would do absolutely anything
00:27:59to recognize your value.
00:28:00And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:05Dr. Hart,
00:28:07for the sake of your own reputation,
00:28:09you need to know that this hack
00:28:10you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:12has a documented history of negligence.
00:28:15My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:17Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:20His exact words.
00:28:23Negligence, Surgeon.
00:28:25What are those?
00:28:28Personal gifts from your father.
00:28:33My fellowship offer.
00:28:35My personal research lab.
00:28:37My surgical team.
00:28:38I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:42You can tell President Bale
00:28:44that as of this moment,
00:28:45Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:47from Bale Hospital
00:28:49and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:52You know what?
00:28:52Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:54You never deserve those privileges
00:28:56in the first place.
00:28:58The medical board is going to see
00:28:59that justice is done.
00:29:01Oh, your stupidity.
00:29:04It's just astonishing.
00:29:06You treat pioneering surgeons
00:29:08like disposable scalpels.
00:29:10This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:17Dr. Hart,
00:29:18I understand there's some competition
00:29:20between your center and Bale Hospital.
00:29:22Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:29:24We're struggling to get out
00:29:26from under their shadow.
00:29:27Look, I'd be happy
00:29:27to help you out with that.
00:29:29Take me on,
00:29:30and I'll transform Hart
00:29:31into the number one
00:29:32surgical institution in the country.
00:29:35Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:38Offering your skills
00:29:39to a struggling clinic.
00:29:40How pathetically desperate.
00:29:43Oh.
00:29:44A backstabbing bottom feeder like you
00:29:46has absolutely no right
00:29:48to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:49How dare you talk to me like that!
00:29:52Your malpractice has caused
00:29:54catastrophic damage
00:29:56to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:58As the responsible party,
00:30:00I demand that you
00:30:01issue a formal apology
00:30:03to one of the major medical journals
00:30:04and with an explanation
00:30:06to every affected Bale Hospital patient.
00:30:10Refuse me,
00:30:11and I will ensure
00:30:12that the medical board
00:30:13revokes your license permanently.
00:30:15That accusation
00:30:16isn't just baseless.
00:30:18It's absurd.
00:30:19What exactly do you think
00:30:20you're going to do about it?
00:30:22You've got no choice
00:30:23but to sign this confession.
00:30:24Oh, stop threatening
00:30:25my chief surgeon.
00:30:27If you insist
00:30:28on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:29have your attorney
00:30:30send a formal complaint
00:30:31to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:33We'll consider it
00:30:34nothing less
00:30:34than a declaration
00:30:36of total war.
00:30:38If it's war you want,
00:30:40I will obliterate
00:30:41your dime store clinic
00:30:43with everything
00:30:43that I've got.
00:30:45Let's go.
00:30:47One more second
00:30:47and this cesspool
00:30:48is going to make me
00:30:49physically ill.
00:30:59Mr. Bale,
00:31:00don't you waste
00:31:01another precious moment
00:31:02on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:05David,
00:31:06you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:07The chief of surgery position
00:31:09is yours,
00:31:10effective immediately.
00:31:12This is,
00:31:13this is extraordinary.
00:31:14I,
00:31:15thank you.
00:31:16I, uh,
00:31:17I,
00:31:18I am honored
00:31:19beyond words.
00:31:20Don't forget about me,
00:31:21Preston.
00:31:23Don't worry, babe.
00:31:24You will be
00:31:26thoroughly compensated
00:31:27for your loyalty.
00:31:29How exciting.
00:31:31Mr. Bale,
00:31:32I swear on my medical oath
00:31:34that I will not
00:31:35disappoint you.
00:31:37Mr. Bale,
00:31:38a commuter train derailed.
00:31:40Six critical patients
00:31:41incoming.
00:31:42Dr. Marksman,
00:31:42OR1 now.
00:31:44Now's your time to shine,
00:31:45Dr. Marksman.
00:31:46Shit.
00:31:46I'm screwed.
00:31:47Adrian's surgical journal
00:31:48with all his proprietary
00:31:49techniques
00:31:50is still in my office.
00:31:51If Preston finds out,
00:31:52I stole it
00:31:53and then couldn't
00:31:54even use it properly.
00:31:56I implemented
00:31:57a groundbreaking
00:31:59surgical protocol
00:32:00that I invented myself.
00:32:02These techniques
00:32:03are revolutionary.
00:32:04I'll walk you through it
00:32:05in detail
00:32:06after the emergency.
00:32:07It's impressive,
00:32:08Dr. Marksman.
00:32:09You've obviously
00:32:10got your own methodology.
00:32:12No need to bore me
00:32:13with the specifics.
00:32:13I trust your brilliance.
00:32:15Keep up the good work,
00:32:16Dr. Marksman.
00:32:17With you leading
00:32:18my surgical team,
00:32:19I can focus
00:32:20on what really matters.
00:32:21Hospital expansion.
00:32:24Again, sir,
00:32:25I'm deeply honored.
00:32:33Behold,
00:32:33Vail Hospital's
00:32:34new chief of surgery.
00:32:36Let's see how
00:32:37all these condescending
00:32:38clowns treat me now.
00:32:43Glad you're feeling
00:32:44better, honey.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46Oh, sorry.
00:32:48Who's this?
00:32:52Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:53President Vail,
00:32:55Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:56I am calling
00:32:58to let you know
00:32:58that as of this morning,
00:33:00Hart Medical Center
00:33:01has officially entered
00:33:02the experimental
00:33:03surgery arena.
00:33:04Revolutionary surgical
00:33:05procedures
00:33:06are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:08Are you absolutely
00:33:10certain you want
00:33:10to pick this fight?
00:33:12This is merely
00:33:13a professional
00:33:13courtesy call,
00:33:14not an invitation
00:33:15for debate.
00:33:16Now, just...
00:33:22Just that conniving
00:33:24bitch plotting.
00:33:25She knows Adrienne
00:33:27is our surgical
00:33:28secret weapon.
00:33:29Why would she
00:33:30deliberately provoke
00:33:31a medical war
00:33:32she has absolutely
00:33:33no chance of winning?
00:33:38Unless...
00:33:44Dad, we've got
00:33:45multiple traumas
00:33:46coming in.
00:33:46Just tell me
00:33:46you didn't fire
00:33:47Dr. Marksman.
00:33:50Dad, relax.
00:33:52I fired the other one,
00:33:53that incompetent
00:33:54slacker resident
00:33:55that you mentioned.
00:33:56Then explain to me
00:33:57why Hart Medical Center
00:33:59believes they can
00:34:00suddenly challenge
00:34:01our surgical supremacy.
00:34:04Because I
00:34:05masterfully led
00:34:06Vivian Hart
00:34:07into a false
00:34:08sense of reality.
00:34:09It's not way
00:34:10a mediocre doctor
00:34:10can revolutionize
00:34:11surgical procedures.
00:34:13I convinced Vivian
00:34:14that she's acquired
00:34:15surgical brilliance
00:34:16when in reality
00:34:18she's hired
00:34:18our disgraced
00:34:19discarded loser.
00:34:21So you deliberately
00:34:22manipulated Vivian?
00:34:23She thinks
00:34:24she's hired
00:34:25genius
00:34:26behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:27groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:29That's why
00:34:29she had the audacity
00:34:30to declare war on you.
00:34:31Impressive, son.
00:34:33You're finally showing
00:34:34some of the leadership
00:34:35qualities.
00:34:36I've been waiting
00:34:36to see out of you.
00:34:37I think you're ready
00:34:38to take complete control
00:34:40of our experimental
00:34:41surgical division.
00:34:44Dad, this is everything
00:34:46I've worked for.
00:34:48We'll get to work
00:34:49immediately.
00:34:50We're going to expose
00:34:51Hart Medical Center
00:34:53for the low-grade
00:34:55institution it truly is.
00:34:57Their humiliation
00:34:58will be quick
00:34:59and absolute.
00:35:01I won't let you down.
00:35:04Darling,
00:35:05surgical innovation
00:35:06is the future of Vail.
00:35:08Preston only got his
00:35:09MBA last year.
00:35:10Do you really think
00:35:11it's wise to entrust him
00:35:13with our most
00:35:13prestigious program?
00:35:15I would never take
00:35:16a risk like this
00:35:17if Preston was
00:35:18our only asset.
00:35:20Remember,
00:35:20we have the ultimate
00:35:22surgical secret weapon.
00:35:24You mean the surgeon
00:35:26that saved my life?
00:35:27Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:29Exactly.
00:35:30And all I need to do
00:35:32is stay hands-off
00:35:34and let him
00:35:36exercise his
00:35:38extraordinary talents.
00:35:39As long as Adrian
00:35:41is with Vail Hospital,
00:35:43Hart Medical Center
00:35:44has no chance
00:35:45of competing.
00:35:47Not only that,
00:35:48Vivian fell
00:35:49for Preston's manipulation
00:35:50and hired that
00:35:51medical disaster,
00:35:53Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:55What we have to do now
00:35:57is sit back
00:35:59and watch her
00:36:01would-be empire
00:36:02crumble.
00:36:09So,
00:36:10now that you've seen
00:36:11the surgical department,
00:36:14what do you think?
00:36:15It's not bad.
00:36:17It's a small team,
00:36:18but they're talented.
00:36:19What you've built here,
00:36:21it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:25It's good to see you again
00:36:26after all these years,
00:36:27Adrian.
00:36:29You too.
00:36:30You need to expand.
00:36:32It's too small
00:36:33for what I'm planning.
00:36:35So,
00:36:37I heard
00:36:38you weren't the only surgeon
00:36:39Preston Vail fired.
00:36:45We have all the angles
00:36:46figured out,
00:36:46don't you?
00:36:47And I always find
00:36:48the best one.
00:36:57I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:00Good.
00:37:02The faster we rise,
00:37:04the more rewarding
00:37:06this partnership becomes.
00:37:20This better be good.
00:37:22Mr. Vail,
00:37:24you wanted to see me?
00:37:29My father
00:37:30has granted me
00:37:31complete authority
00:37:32over our experimental
00:37:33surgical department.
00:37:34Given your new position
00:37:36as chief of surgery,
00:37:38I'm appointing you
00:37:39head of innovation.
00:37:40Mr. Vail,
00:37:41I, uh...
00:37:42Is there an issue
00:37:43with that?
00:37:43No,
00:37:44absolutely not.
00:37:46The budget
00:37:46for innovation
00:37:47is astronomical,
00:37:48and President Vail
00:37:49has already handed
00:37:50control to his son?
00:37:52If I oversee
00:37:53these procedures,
00:37:54I could divert
00:37:55significant resources
00:37:56to my personal research.
00:37:58Mr. Vail,
00:37:59you can trust me
00:38:00completely.
00:38:01I am precisely
00:38:02the right man
00:38:03for the job.
00:38:06Preston,
00:38:07we have a catastrophe
00:38:08on our hands.
00:38:08Two attending surgeons
00:38:09just submitted
00:38:10their resignations
00:38:10simultaneously.
00:38:11The department
00:38:12can't possibly
00:38:12maintain its caseload.
00:38:13What?
00:38:14They both resigned
00:38:15at once?
00:38:15What was their explanation?
00:38:16They refused
00:38:17to disclose their reasons.
00:38:18But there's talk
00:38:19they were recruited
00:38:19by a former Vail physician,
00:38:21along with the three
00:38:22other surgeons
00:38:23you fired before.
00:38:24Former physician,
00:38:25Adrian Marksman,
00:38:26this has his
00:38:26saboteur signature
00:38:27all over it.
00:38:29Preston,
00:38:29what's our contingency plan?
00:38:30The surgical department
00:38:31is severely understaffed.
00:38:33If any more surgeons
00:38:34leave,
00:38:34patients will suffer.
00:38:36Okay, everybody
00:38:36needs to remain calm.
00:38:40You still have me.
00:38:42I can rebuild
00:38:43this department.
00:38:44Ah, yes.
00:38:45With your stellar reputation,
00:38:47we should be able
00:38:47to get the best
00:38:48of the best.
00:38:49Exactly.
00:38:50So we lost
00:38:51some second-rate talent.
00:38:52Let him go.
00:38:55I'll make some calls
00:38:56to Cedars-Sinai
00:38:57and UCLA.
00:39:00Good work, Marksman.
00:39:04This is working
00:39:05out perfectly.
00:39:07Now I can install
00:39:07my own allies
00:39:08in key positions.
00:39:09Soon,
00:39:10I'll control
00:39:11the entire hospital's
00:39:12medical direction.
00:39:36It's an hour
00:39:37to meet you,
00:39:38Dr. Hart.
00:39:42This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:44He's a triple board
00:39:45certified surgeon,
00:39:46and soon he'll be
00:39:47the head
00:39:47of trauma surgery.
00:39:48This is Dr. Rose,
00:39:50Chen,
00:39:51Rose,
00:39:52and Thomas,
00:39:53all consummate professionals.
00:39:55My most trusted colleagues
00:39:57back at Vail.
00:40:00With this surgical team,
00:40:02Hart Medical
00:40:03can revolutionize
00:40:04surgical care
00:40:05all across the country.
00:40:07Actually,
00:40:08the whole world.
00:40:09We're here to begin,
00:40:10Dr. Hart.
00:40:11Well,
00:40:12welcome to
00:40:13Hart Medical Center.
00:40:15I am thrilled
00:40:16to have surgeons
00:40:17of your caliber
00:40:17joining us,
00:40:18but I do need
00:40:20to be transparent.
00:40:22We have got
00:40:22considerable ground
00:40:23to cover
00:40:24before we can
00:40:25truly challenge
00:40:25Vail Hospital's
00:40:26dominance.
00:40:27Have no fear,
00:40:28Dr. Hart.
00:40:29With Adrian leading
00:40:30our team,
00:40:30we'll be three steps
00:40:31ahead of anything
00:40:32Vail attempts.
00:40:34Yes,
00:40:34but Vail has already
00:40:35implemented
00:40:36Adrian's breakthrough
00:40:38surgical procedure
00:40:39protocols.
00:40:40Yeah,
00:40:40about that.
00:40:41It's a preliminary
00:40:42version.
00:40:43If they continue
00:40:44to develop this
00:40:44approach without
00:40:45modification...
00:40:46Then what?
00:40:47A lot of deaths,
00:40:48a lot of lawsuits,
00:40:50a lot of patients
00:40:51could be harmed,
00:40:52or worse.
00:40:52These procedures
00:40:53weren't ready
00:40:54for widespread
00:40:55implementation
00:40:55without proper
00:40:56refinement.
00:40:58Those techniques
00:40:58require precise
00:40:59calibration
00:41:00and specialized
00:41:01training.
00:41:02Without that
00:41:03foundation...
00:41:03We're talking
00:41:04about serious
00:41:05complications,
00:41:06preventable harm.
00:41:07Our first priority
00:41:08has to be patient
00:41:09safety.
00:41:10We need to perfect
00:41:11these procedures,
00:41:12and then we can
00:41:13find a way to
00:41:14prevent Vail from
00:41:15continuing with the
00:41:16flawed protocols.
00:41:18Exactly.
00:41:18it's not about
00:41:19competition or
00:41:20pride.
00:41:20It's about saving
00:41:21lives.
00:41:24We're using our
00:41:26experience with the
00:41:26trial procedures I
00:41:28did at Vail to
00:41:28develop next
00:41:29generation surgical
00:41:30techniques eliminating
00:41:32all the previous
00:41:33complications and
00:41:34inefficiencies.
00:41:36Even if Vail
00:41:37Hospital analyzes our
00:41:38fundamental approach
00:41:39and attempts to
00:41:40create something new,
00:41:41we'll maintain our
00:41:42significant advantage.
00:41:44And if they
00:41:45stubbornly continue
00:41:46with their flawed
00:41:47protocols, rest
00:41:48assured, their
00:41:50outcomes will
00:41:50deteriorate.
00:41:51I don't wish it
00:41:52upon their
00:41:53patients, that's
00:41:53for sure.
00:41:55Remember this
00:41:56moment.
00:41:56In this battle
00:41:57for medical
00:41:58supremacy, Heart
00:41:59Medical Center
00:42:00will emerge
00:42:01victorious.
00:42:08It's 3 a.m.
00:42:10Lost track of
00:42:11time again.
00:42:18Viv, you
00:42:18surprised me.
00:42:21Looks like you
00:42:22could use a nice
00:42:22rub.
00:42:24Do you mind?
00:42:26No.
00:42:28I mean, yeah.
00:42:30What do you
00:42:31give all your
00:42:31surgeons massages?
00:42:34Only the ones I
00:42:35really, really like.
00:42:41You really, really
00:42:43like me?
00:42:44Adrienne, I've
00:42:44really, really
00:42:45liked you since
00:42:46residency.
00:42:48Nothing's changed.
00:42:50You were our most
00:42:51brilliant resident
00:42:52in the program.
00:42:53I never imagined
00:42:54someone like you
00:42:55would like me.
00:42:55There was never
00:42:56anyone else that
00:42:57got my attention.
00:42:59Only you.
00:43:02But you were
00:43:03completely oblivious.
00:43:04And then you just
00:43:05vanished from the
00:43:07program.
00:43:08Well, I left to
00:43:09join the Experimental
00:43:10Surgical Fellowship
00:43:11in Switzerland.
00:43:12I know.
00:43:15Your talent was
00:43:16extraordinary even
00:43:17then.
00:43:19Back then, I made a
00:43:20promise to myself that
00:43:21we would work together
00:43:22again someday.
00:43:23You know, when I
00:43:25established Heart
00:43:25Medical Center, my
00:43:27first priority was
00:43:28recruiting you.
00:43:29But that manipulative
00:43:31tyrant, Nelson Vale,
00:43:34had already secured your
00:43:35contracts with ridiculous
00:43:37incentives.
00:43:38I understand now.
00:43:48So, should we pick up
00:43:51where we left off in
00:43:52residency?
00:43:53You're the boss.
00:43:54That's right.
00:43:56And as your boss, I say,
00:43:58come home with me.
00:44:00Tonight?
00:44:01You lost everything when
00:44:03Preston fired you.
00:44:04Hospital privileges,
00:44:06research funding,
00:44:08even your hospital
00:44:10subsidized apartment.
00:44:14You have literally
00:44:15nowhere else to go
00:44:16tonight.
00:44:17Come with me.
00:44:21Where?
00:44:22My place.
00:44:27Hmm.
00:44:31All right.
00:44:33I'll admit it.
00:44:34That was the best meal
00:44:36I've had in months.
00:44:37Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:39I might start thinking
00:44:40you're easy to please.
00:44:42That just depends on
00:44:43the company.
00:44:44Well, starting tonight,
00:44:46this is your new home.
00:44:48Until the program's
00:44:50fully established, it
00:44:51just makes sense.
00:44:53Are you sure about
00:44:53that?
00:44:54We already work late
00:44:55hours.
00:44:56Living together could
00:44:59get complicated.
00:45:00Well, I like
00:45:01complicated.
00:45:03keeps things
00:45:04interesting.
00:45:05And
00:45:06where exactly
00:45:08will I be sleeping?
00:45:09Well,
00:45:12my master suite
00:45:14has a
00:45:16California king.
00:45:20Plenty of room
00:45:21if things ever need to get
00:45:24more
00:45:25collaborative.
00:45:26creative.
00:45:27Really?
00:45:30Relax.
00:45:31I'm only teasing.
00:45:33Tonight, at least.
00:45:36Come on.
00:45:39I'll show you your room.
00:45:42unless you'd rather have
00:45:43a nightcap
00:45:45than mine.
00:45:52Things could get dangerous.
00:45:59Is this pathetic attempt
00:46:00really the best that you can do?
00:46:05You are completely
00:46:07worthless as surgeons.
00:46:08Dr. Marksman,
00:46:10the experimental procedures
00:46:11we're trying to replicate here
00:46:12are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:14We need at least
00:46:15six months
00:46:16to properly master
00:46:17Six months?
00:46:19You have 72 hours,
00:46:21and I expect hourly updates
00:46:23on my desk.
00:46:24Sir,
00:46:24brushing these
00:46:25delicate procedures
00:46:26dramatically increases
00:46:28the possibility of
00:46:29potentially fatal complications.
00:46:30three days,
00:46:31and you don't get
00:46:32one hour more.
00:46:34Go.
00:46:35Go.
00:46:39Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:40What's our status?
00:46:42Excellent progress,
00:46:43Mr. Vale.
00:46:44We will be advancing
00:46:44to Phase 2 implementation
00:46:46within three days.
00:46:48That's exactly
00:46:49what I wanted to hear.
00:46:50I knew my judgment
00:46:51in appointing you
00:46:51was flawless.
00:46:58Preston,
00:46:58I need an update
00:46:59on the experimental
00:47:00surgery program.
00:47:02Everything's proceeding
00:47:03perfectly, Father.
00:47:04Outstanding.
00:47:05When this is done,
00:47:06I'll throw you
00:47:07a huge party
00:47:08to celebrate the launch.
00:47:09Your father must be
00:47:10so proud of you.
00:47:11Keep up the good work,
00:47:13Dr. Marksman.
00:47:14I'll make sure my father
00:47:15understands
00:47:16your invaluable contribution.
00:47:18This is my shot.
00:47:19Why settle for
00:47:20chief of surgery?
00:47:21With the right maneuvering,
00:47:22I could become the next
00:47:23chief medical officer
00:47:24of Vale Hospital.
00:47:25Mr. Vale,
00:47:27my purpose
00:47:28is to execute
00:47:29the visionary
00:47:30medical strategies
00:47:31of brilliant administrators
00:47:33such as yourself.
00:47:35I believe that
00:47:36in the position
00:47:36of chief medical officer,
00:47:38I could implement
00:47:39your ideas
00:47:40more effectively
00:47:41throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:42If these procedures
00:47:43prove successful,
00:47:44I will personally discuss
00:47:45your advancement
00:47:46with the board.
00:47:47Truly, that's...
00:47:50I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:48:11You're finally awake.
00:48:17You can keep appreciating
00:48:19the view while you eat.
00:48:21All right.
00:48:22Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:23Looks good.
00:48:27When you're finished eating,
00:48:29we'll head directly
00:48:30to the surgical wing.
00:48:31Sound good?
00:48:32Yes.
00:48:33Absolutely.
00:48:34Good.
00:48:36Get it up and running,
00:48:37and there may be
00:48:38a special bonus
00:48:41waiting for you.
00:48:44Extra special.
00:48:54Okay, team.
00:48:55We're approaching
00:48:56a critical phase
00:48:56of our program development.
00:48:58We have groundbreaking
00:48:59procedures
00:49:00that we need to perfect
00:49:01in very little time,
00:49:02so let's get to it.
00:49:04Let's start
00:49:04revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:06I have excellent news
00:49:07for all of you.
00:49:08I've just finalized
00:49:10arrangements with the board,
00:49:11and upon successful
00:49:13implementation
00:49:13of our surgical innovations,
00:49:15each of you will receive
00:49:17a fully funded medical mission trip
00:49:19anywhere in the world
00:49:20that you choose
00:49:21to share your expertise.
00:49:23And when the time comes
00:49:25that our procedures
00:49:26receive national certification,
00:49:28every surgeon on this team
00:49:30will be gifted
00:49:31a percentage of the royalties
00:49:32from any techniques we patent.
00:49:36At Heart Medical Center,
00:49:38our surgeons
00:49:39are the lifeblood
00:49:40of our institution,
00:49:42and you will be
00:49:43compensated accordingly.
00:49:47Dr. Heart, we are fully committed
00:49:50to making this surgical program
00:49:51a success.
00:49:52Absolutely.
00:49:53You'll be seeing progress
00:49:54ASAP.
00:49:56Vail Hospital
00:49:56won't know what hit him.
00:49:57With Adrian leading us,
00:49:58victory's guaranteed.
00:50:00Heart is best!
00:50:01Heart is best!
00:50:03Heart is best!
00:50:04Heart is best!
00:50:05Heart is best!
00:50:06Heart is best!
00:50:17Heart is best!
00:50:20Heart is best!
00:50:37You always this disciplined, or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:43If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:46Midnight meetings, long hours.
00:50:51This work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:50:58That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:51:01Then they fired me.
00:51:05Then they were fools.
00:51:09You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:12You know that, right?
00:51:18You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:21I don't try.
00:51:25I do.
00:51:29Well, don't work too late.
00:51:35You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:45The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:49Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:54Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:56I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.
00:52:00How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:52:04Vail General Hospital is the gold standard, and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:10If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:15Is that clear?
00:52:16Yes, sir.
00:52:18This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:23Go.
00:52:29Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:31What a surprise.
00:52:33Cut the bullshit, marksman.
00:52:35Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:37Of course.
00:52:39We're just refining the final stages.
00:52:43Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:45Good.
00:52:46There's a problem.
00:52:47I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:48No cover-ups.
00:52:49Of course, sir.
00:52:53Mr. Vail.
00:52:54Not now.
00:52:55Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:53:00It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:07Don't worry.
00:53:08When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:14I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:24Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:30This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:36especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:41The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:45Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:47Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:50I hope you're right.
00:53:53For your sake.
00:53:56Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:54:03It's not a success.
00:54:04Yet.
00:54:07Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:09Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:12it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:26Dr. Heart, we, um, have a problem.
00:54:30Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:33That soon?
00:54:34They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:40It's a good thing we're ahead of them.
00:54:43You're saying we're ready?
00:54:45Why would I lie?
00:54:46We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:49Let him celebrate.
00:54:50It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:52How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:55Vail, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:55:00Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:55:02He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:04And?
00:55:05Their model's flawed.
00:55:06If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:12we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:14And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:15Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:20So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:26It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:28They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:33They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:36That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:40Which means we've already won.
00:55:43Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:45We should celebrate.
00:55:46What do you have in mind?
00:55:48Drinks?
00:55:48Not quite.
00:55:50You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:53What?
00:55:55Why?
00:55:56Let me worry about that.
00:55:57In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:56:00Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:56:02And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:19Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:22I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:27Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:34is the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:56:45You should be fun.
00:56:47Absolutely.
00:56:48You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:52Stop it.
00:56:52Too bad you're taken.
00:56:54Yeah.
00:56:54Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:56Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:57Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:57:00Forget about her.
00:57:02She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:04We'll show you a better time.
00:57:09Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:11Let's go.
00:57:11Fiona who?
00:57:16Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:18Let me go.
00:57:39The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:42Please, try again later.
00:57:43It's me.
00:58:07It's 20 in one day.
00:58:09All clean, all stable.
00:58:11The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:15You did it.
00:58:17No.
00:58:18We did it.
00:58:21Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:24You're already late.
00:58:26I need a change there.
00:58:27You don't have time.
00:58:28Where's Vivian?
00:58:30Taking care of something.
00:58:32She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:37Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:57What the fuck?
00:58:58You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:00I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:04God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:06So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:59:29Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:32It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:37Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:41What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:42You weren't invited.
00:59:44You're so sure about that?
00:59:45I mean, look at you.
00:59:46This is a black tie.
00:59:47I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:51Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:55The failed surgeon.
00:59:57The fraud.
00:59:58The nobody.
01:00:00Showed to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:03Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
01:00:07Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:08Pardon me.
01:00:09I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:11Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:13What are you trying to say?
01:00:15I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:24I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:28Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:32A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:34You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:37Yeah, because it'll happen in prison when you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:46What are you talking about?
01:00:48Identity theft?
01:00:50Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:53Yours?
01:00:54Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:57If you don't got it, at least act like you do.
01:01:00Speaking from experience.
01:01:03Look around you.
01:01:05This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:08The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:10Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:14Good.
01:01:15I'm glad.
01:01:16Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:18Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:21That's enough.
01:01:22Guards!
01:01:24This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:27Kick him out.
01:01:28Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:32I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:35What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:37Grab him!
01:01:38I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:40I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:41I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:52I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:52Christy!
01:01:54What the hell is this?
01:01:56Dad, relax.
01:01:58I, uh...
01:01:59Relax?
01:02:00This twat came in on invite.
01:02:02I was just kicking him out.
01:02:03Guards!
01:02:04Remove him immediately.
01:02:05President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:08You get out of my way!
01:02:10Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:11This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:15You are such a fool!
01:02:19Dad, what are you, what are you doing?
01:02:22Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:24This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:28You are a...
01:02:31Disgraced!
01:02:32Dad!
01:02:33My hospital meant something and...
01:02:36You turned it into a...
01:02:38Into a...
01:02:39Oh!
01:02:41Dad!
01:02:46Dad!
01:02:48President Vail, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:52Are you out of your mind?
01:02:53He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:54Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:57I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:59Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:01David!
01:03:02David!
01:03:03Do something.
01:03:03It's cold!
01:03:04It's cold.
01:03:08Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:10Blinking?
01:03:11Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:13Shut up!
01:03:14Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:17This is ridiculous.
01:03:18I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:21You're just standing there.
01:03:22Do something!
01:03:25What's the matter, David?
01:03:26If you need help, just ask.
01:03:28All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:31Right here.
01:03:32Right now.
01:03:33I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:36What if I kill him?
01:03:38I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:40I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:42I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:45David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:49Let it go!
01:03:51I...
01:03:52I...
01:03:54I...
01:03:55I can't.
01:03:56I can't do this.
01:03:59Okay, I can't...
01:04:01I can't do this.
01:04:02I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:09That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:11He stole it from me.
01:04:19Okay, okay.
01:04:21I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:26I can't do this.
01:04:28Okay.
01:04:28I got it.
01:04:29I got it.
01:04:31Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:34All right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:38Okay.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:52Okay.
01:04:53Great.
01:04:55Fall.
01:05:00Oh, thank God.
01:05:01How are you?
01:05:02Let it out.
01:05:08Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:11Surgical genius.
01:05:13That's how Val makes history.
01:05:15Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:17Or at least a new department.
01:05:18If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:23Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:28That maneuver, that notebook.
01:05:31It's mine.
01:05:32Then tell them.
01:05:37Where is he going?
01:05:38Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:43Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:45Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:52That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:57What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:59He's delusional.
01:06:01Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:04The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:07That's mine.
01:06:07My handwriting.
01:06:10My theories.
01:06:11You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:15I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:19And when it fails,
01:06:22and it will,
01:06:24you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:26The patients will.
01:06:27You can't prove that.
01:06:29Not yet.
01:06:31But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:34Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:41Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:42We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:44Second patient today.
01:06:45Same issue.
01:06:46Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:48These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:50The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:53I mean, come on.
01:06:54Tonight proves it.
01:06:55We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:06Uh, I'll be right back.
01:07:08Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:12Talk to me.
01:07:13The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:16This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:21Use the compression step.
01:07:23That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:24We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:28Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:34I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:37Not mass implementation.
01:07:39Without calibration.
01:07:41It's unstable.
01:07:42It's dangerous.
01:07:43They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:46Now people are paying for it.
01:07:50All good?
01:07:51Of course.
01:07:53Just routine coordination.
01:07:55Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:58Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:00And patients are suffering.
01:08:02You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:04You wouldn't know?
01:08:05Yeah, I would know.
01:08:06Because the procedures that you're butchering,
01:08:08I invented.
01:08:10And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:14Oh, shit.
01:08:21Oh, yes.
01:08:22This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:23Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:27Okay.
01:08:28Listen very carefully.
01:08:30Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:34because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:38No.
01:08:39You need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:42with selective hepatic arterial ligation
01:08:44followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:48using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:52Yes.
01:08:55Yes.
01:08:58How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:09:00His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:03You stole his methods.
01:09:05This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:10Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:12Then prove me wrong.
01:09:13Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:19Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:21He was fired.
01:09:22Humiliated.
01:09:23You're right.
01:09:24I was fired.
01:09:25And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed
01:09:28and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:31You know what?
01:09:32This is pathetic.
01:09:33He's just jealous.
01:09:34He missed his shot.
01:09:36Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:37When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:40Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:45I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:59I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator, and thanks to Adrian's guidance,
01:10:05our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:09Adrian just cleaned up.
01:10:11Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:46Tried to warn you.
01:10:52Tried to warn you.
01:10:53You saved me.
01:10:54You saved Nelson.
01:10:57and probably even more than me it was a mistake to let you go months ago i was fired from
01:11:04vale
01:11:05hospital with procedures still in development they weren't ready they needed supervision
01:11:13precision development instead someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory
01:11:18oh you can't prove that security footage of you stealing adrian's notebook from the hospital
01:11:29already submitted to the board i built on what he started okay i i didn't steal i i i enhanced
01:11:39it
01:11:39then why were patients about to die you falsified rollout readiness he did more than that
01:11:46he put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program
01:11:52we're going to need to open a formal investigation on this this is absurd this was supposed to be
01:11:59our night oh it's your night it's not the way you thought it'd be you lied to me i didn't
01:12:07lie
01:12:07i simplified the truth simplify you could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people
01:12:15you nearly killed the president of the hospital you passed up experimental procedures as launch
01:12:21ready that's malpractice they worked nelson's alive look the patients they're alive yeah because of me
01:12:28those methods require sequential tensioning breath control special clamp techniques getting one beat
01:12:35wrong is the difference between life and death wait these really are your techniques i tested them for
01:12:40years it was never meant for mass rollout not without training you're rewriting history
01:12:47no you tried to erase him from it adrian marksman was the reason that veil's program had a future
01:12:54and without him it won't this is absurd you're siding with this disgraced former resident he's not
