00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We've got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:30We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:04Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:15That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Metzenbaum scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey Cottery.
00:01:30Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:44But how did he...
00:01:47Silk suture?
00:01:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57Okay.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some working surgeon, but that...
00:02:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:38Wait.
00:02:40I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:00Doctor.
00:03:03Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you...
00:03:10You actually did.
00:03:14Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live.
00:03:21But you...
00:03:22You saved my Catherine.
00:03:25She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:03:55You're all stable.
00:04:22Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:25Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:42Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:19Goldberg, your favorite?
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:34I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:41It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure.
00:05:59I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a town like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:23Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Bale, President Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about last...
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:50You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:56Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention!
00:07:06And everybody's attention now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who's he thinking he is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:24What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:41That was for my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river!
00:07:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop, just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:59Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:03That was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:10Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:18Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired!
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:46He's...
00:08:47a new surgical resident.
00:08:48Mr. Vail.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed!
00:09:04I just worked all night.
00:09:06Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:13What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Either 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.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:29There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:38Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D-I-R.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51We'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57I see.
00:10:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who...
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:15Beat it.
00:10:16Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:19Okay.
00:10:20I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:50You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:18Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:26I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks?
00:11:38Including yours.
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:43Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's in charge around here?
00:11:50Hey, Dad.
00:11:59What's wrong?
00:12:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:02She'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.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:17Dr. Marksman?
00:12:18Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:21Get out of my hospital.
00:12:23Christ.
00:12:24The resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston?
00:12:28Are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:32See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:34I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:40He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:42And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:55Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:03Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:08Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:10Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:11That's our man.
00:13:12There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:17Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor.
00:13:20Fire him.
00:13:22Already done, Dad.
00:13:23I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:26Thank God.
00:13:27Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:31I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh, just take care of mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:45See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:49Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:55Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:57Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:59The six-car pileup.
00:14:00You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:01What's your point?
00:14:02ER is crashing.
00:14:04We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:05Give me the situation.
00:14:13Now.
00:14:14Six critical traumas.
00:14:16Three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries.
00:14:19Arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:20We're losing patients.
00:14:22What are our options?
00:14:23There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the thing we need.
00:14:34Fiona, call him.
00:14:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:39The one I didn't fire.
00:14:40Keep up.
00:14:45What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:01Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:07Mmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:13These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:17Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:22Hello?
00:15:24Dr. Marksman.
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:29there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:31I'm on my way.
00:15:36With Adrian's techniques,
00:15:38I'll look like a genius.
00:15:40They'll make me department head.
00:15:42And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:51Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:16:01Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:07Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:09I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:12You're my future.
00:16:14That's my girl.
00:16:15Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:25the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:28To hell with this.
00:16:29I'm going up.
00:16:30Piece of shit.
00:16:50Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:51Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:56You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:58can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:17:03with this incompetent Nepo baby?
00:17:05I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:10We're done, Adrian.
00:17:28Ancient history.
00:17:30Are you serious?
00:17:32Just like that.
00:17:34Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:36Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:41Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:43I need someone with a future,
00:17:44not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:51Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:54It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:59Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital,
00:18:05and you are just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:12You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:14Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:16I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:18Fiona, I met you here,
00:18:19and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:18:28who lied about their credentials?
00:18:30President Vail would never have hired someone
00:18:33who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am,
00:18:42there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:46You can count on that.
00:18:47No, no, no.
00:18:51Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:53Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:59Who authorizes you to be here?
00:19:01Mr. Vail,
00:19:02I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:04we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:06from the multi-car accident,
00:19:07and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:13Ah, yes.
00:19:13The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your
00:19:16exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:20These morons have no idea
00:19:23I'm taking credit for Adrian's
00:19:24revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:28I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail,
00:19:31I've identified who's responsible
00:19:33for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping.
00:19:37Well, the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:40Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:50Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:19:55that surgical pioneer
00:19:56that you've been tracking,
00:19:58he's just been terminated
00:19:59from Vail Hospital.
00:20:01When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:04Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:06Oh, amazing.
00:20:10I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face
00:20:12when he discovers
00:20:13that his Price Surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With, uh, respect,
00:20:19we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:24even consider joining us?
00:20:26We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:28Full department autonomy.
00:20:30Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:36And if necessary,
00:20:38my personal involvement.
00:20:41His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:45Have my car brought round.
00:20:47I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:50And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:51he's leaving with me.
00:20:59Malfeasance.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:07The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:09Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:11This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off
00:21:13as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:15And when a complication occurs,
00:21:16which happened in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me?
00:21:24The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:26isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:29If you were even half the surgeon
00:21:31that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here
00:21:36and debate medicine with you
00:21:37in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:46What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:51or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:53for criminal negligence.
00:21:56Adrian, I never realized
00:21:57you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now
00:22:04or we'll do everything in your power
00:22:05to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:09Fine.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:14holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:16You really
00:22:19underestimate my family's influence,
00:22:21don't you?
00:22:23Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:24can end your entire career
00:22:26with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir,
00:22:28I strongly recommend
00:22:29that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all,
00:22:32he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:33wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston,
00:22:35you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:40I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman
00:22:46is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:48and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:50Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:52Do you know what that means?
00:22:54It means that you
00:22:55will never practice medicine
00:22:57in this country again.
00:23:00I have one question before I go.
00:23:03Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:06My father's the one
00:23:07who asked me to fire you,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were
00:23:12some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:14didn't you?
00:23:15Security,
00:23:16remove this criminal
00:23:17from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:19Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:38Let him go.
00:23:40Dr. Marksman
00:23:41is about to accept the position
00:23:43as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:45at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:51You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart
00:23:53from that medical clinic
00:23:54across town.
00:23:56That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you
00:24:01since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:24:03like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here for the most
00:24:08innovative surgeon
00:24:09in the country, of course.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:18Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:22Your father built
00:24:24this institution's reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence,
00:24:27not petty politics.
00:24:30Dr. Hart,
00:24:31with all due respect...
00:24:33This is a conversation
00:24:34between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence.
00:24:39Dr. Hart,
00:24:40I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman
00:24:42represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised
00:24:45patient safety and...
00:24:46I don't believe I requested
00:24:48your medical opinion,
00:24:49Dr....
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time
00:24:53nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment.
00:24:57After he decided
00:24:59to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical
00:25:01surgical complication.
00:25:03His negligence
00:25:04led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions
00:25:06not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised
00:25:08my hospital's reputation.
00:25:09Are you really willing
00:25:12to defend someone
00:25:13who violates
00:25:14the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult
00:25:17with your father
00:25:17before dismissing
00:25:18Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20Of course I consulted
00:25:21my father.
00:25:24He's the one
00:25:25who specifically mentioned
00:25:25his dangerous
00:25:26surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what
00:25:32President Vail really said?
00:25:34His exact words were,
00:25:35remove him
00:25:36at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail
00:25:38was the one
00:25:39that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes absolutely
00:25:40no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The President
00:25:43wouldn't personally
00:25:44recruit a mid-level
00:25:45surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations
00:25:48were professional courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way
00:25:53things work at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing more
00:25:55to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider
00:25:59joining Heart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I...
00:26:05Full department autonomy.
00:26:07Protected research time.
00:26:09A surgical fellowship
00:26:10in your name.
00:26:11And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:37And Cash.
00:26:46Dr. Marksman,
00:26:48I want you to revolutionize
00:26:49our surgery program.
00:26:51Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:53I mean what I say.
00:26:55Chief of surgery?
00:27:05You're offering all this
00:27:06to a surgeon
00:27:07who can't even keep
00:27:08his eyes open on the job?
00:27:10Dr. Hart,
00:27:11have you completely lost
00:27:12your medical judgment
00:27:13or are you on drugs?
00:27:14This is absurd.
00:27:16He was a mediocre surgeon
00:27:17here at Vail.
00:27:19And now you're positioning him
00:27:20to lead your entire
00:27:21surgical department?
00:27:22The medical board
00:27:25should review
00:27:26your hiring practices.
00:27:29Vivian,
00:27:30I appreciate
00:27:31your confidence.
00:27:33This isn't about money.
00:27:36Maybe there's something
00:27:37beyond professional opportunity
00:27:39that might interest you.
00:27:41She's offering herself
00:27:42up to him.
00:27:43She can't do that.
00:27:44Are you a doctor
00:27:45or a call girl?
00:27:47At Heart Medical Center,
00:27:48you will be given
00:27:49everything a surgeon
00:27:50of your caliber deserves,
00:27:52including a boss
00:27:54that would do
00:27:55absolutely anything
00:27:56to recognize your value.
00:27:58And I do mean anything,
00:27:59Dr. Marksman.
00:28:02Dr. Hart,
00:28:04for the sake
00:28:05of your own reputation,
00:28:06you need to know
00:28:07that this hack
00:28:07you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:09has a documented history
00:28:11of negligence.
00:28:12My father confirmed
00:28:14it himself.
00:28:15Is that precisely
00:28:16what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:17His exact words.
00:28:20Negligence, Serge?
00:28:22What are those?
00:28:25Personal gifts
00:28:26from your father?
00:28:30My fellowship offer?
00:28:32My personal research lab?
00:28:34My surgical team?
00:28:36I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:39You can tell President Vail
00:28:41that as of this moment,
00:28:42Dr. Marksman
00:28:43has permanently withdrawn
00:28:44from Vail Hospital
00:28:46and all of its
00:28:47affiliated institutions.
00:28:49You know what?
00:28:50Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:52You never deserve
00:28:53those privileges
00:28:53in the first place.
00:28:55The medical board
00:28:56is going to see
00:28:56that justice is done.
00:28:58Oh,
00:28:59your stupidity,
00:29:01it's just
00:29:02astonishing.
00:29:03you treat pioneering surgeons
00:29:05like disposable scalpels.
00:29:07This man
00:29:08is a life-saving artist.
00:29:14Dr. Hart,
00:29:15I understand
00:29:16there's some competition
00:29:17between your center
00:29:18and Vail Hospital.
00:29:19Yeah,
00:29:20look,
00:29:20I'll be real.
00:29:22We're struggling
00:29:22to get out
00:29:23from under their shadow.
00:29:24Look,
00:29:24I'd be happy
00:29:25to help you out with that.
00:29:26Take me on
00:29:27and I'll transform Hart
00:29:28into the number one
00:29:29surgical institution
00:29:30in the country.
00:29:31Look at yourself,
00:29:34Adrian,
00:29:35offering your skills
00:29:36to a struggling clinic.
00:29:37How pathetically desperate.
00:29:40Oh,
00:29:41a backstabbing
00:29:42bottom feeder
00:29:43like you
00:29:43has absolutely
00:29:44no right
00:29:45to judge a surgeon
00:29:46of his caliber.
00:29:47How dare you
00:29:47talk to me like that!
00:29:49Your malpractice
00:29:50has caused
00:29:51catastrophic damage
00:29:53to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:55As the responsible party,
00:29:57I demand
00:29:57that you
00:29:58issue a formal apology
00:30:00to one of the major
00:30:00medical journals
00:30:01and with an explanation
00:30:03to every affected
00:30:04Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:07Refuse me
00:30:08and I will ensure
00:30:09that the medical board
00:30:10revokes your license
00:30:11permanently.
00:30:13That accusation
00:30:13isn't just baseness.
00:30:15It's absurd.
00:30:16What exactly
00:30:17do you think
00:30:17you're going to do about it?
00:30:19You've got no choice
00:30:20but to sign this confession.
00:30:21Oh,
00:30:22stop threatening
00:30:22my chief surgeon.
00:30:24If you insist
00:30:25on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:26have your attorney
00:30:27send a formal complaint
00:30:28to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:30We'll consider it
00:30:31nothing less
00:30:31than a declaration
00:30:33of total war.
00:30:35If it's war you want,
00:30:37I will obliterate
00:30:38your dime store clinic
00:30:40with everything
00:30:40that I've got.
00:30:42Let's go.
00:30:44One more second
00:30:45and this cesspool
00:30:45is going to make me
00:30:46physically ill.
00:30:47Mr. Vail,
00:30:57don't you waste
00:30:58another precious moment
00:30:59on those
00:30:59secondary practitioners.
00:31:02David,
00:31:03you've proven
00:31:03your loyalty.
00:31:04The chief
00:31:05of surgery position
00:31:06is yours
00:31:07effective immediately.
00:31:09This is,
00:31:10this is extraordinary.
00:31:11I,
00:31:12thank you.
00:31:13I,
00:31:13I,
00:31:13I,
00:31:15I am honored
00:31:16beyond words.
00:31:17Don't forget
00:31:18about me,
00:31:18Preston.
00:31:20Don't worry,
00:31:21babe.
00:31:21You will be
00:31:23thoroughly compensated
00:31:24for your loyalty.
00:31:26How exciting.
00:31:29Mr. Vail,
00:31:29I swear on my medical oath
00:31:31that I will not
00:31:32disappoint you.
00:31:34Mr. Vail,
00:31:35a commuter train derailed.
00:31:37Six critical patients
00:31:38incoming.
00:31:39Dr. Marksman,
00:31:39OR1 now.
00:31:41Now's your time
00:31:41to shine,
00:31:42Dr. Marksman.
00:31:43Shit,
00:31:43I'm screwed.
00:31:44Adrian's surgical journal
00:31:45with all his
00:31:46proprietary techniques
00:31:47is still in my office.
00:31:48If Preston finds out,
00:31:50I stole it
00:31:50and then couldn't
00:31:51even use it properly.
00:31:53I implemented
00:31:54a groundbreaking
00:31:56surgical protocol
00:31:57that I invented myself.
00:31:59These techniques
00:32:00are revolutionary.
00:32:01I'll walk you
00:32:02through it in detail
00:32:03after the emergency.
00:32:05It's impressive,
00:32:05Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06You've obviously
00:32:07got your own methodology.
00:32:09No need to bore me
00:32:10with the specifics.
00:32:10I trust your brilliance.
00:32:11Keep up the good work,
00:32:13Dr. Marksman.
00:32:14With you leading
00:32:14my surgical team,
00:32:16I can focus
00:32:17on what really matters.
00:32:18Hospital expansion.
00:32:21Again, sir,
00:32:22I'm deeply honored.
00:32:29Behold,
00:32:30Vail Hospital's
00:32:31new chief of surgery.
00:32:33Let's see how
00:32:34all these condescending
00:32:34clowns treat me now.
00:32:36glad you're feeling
00:32:41better, honey.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43Well,
00:32:44sorry,
00:32:45who's this?
00:32:49Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:50President Vail,
00:32:51Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:53I am calling
00:32:54to let you know
00:32:55that as of this morning,
00:32:57Hart Medical Center
00:32:58has officially entered
00:32:59the experimental
00:32:59surgery arena.
00:33:01Revolutionary
00:33:02surgical procedures
00:33:03are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:05Are you absolutely
00:33:06certain you want
00:33:07to pick this fight?
00:33:09This is merely
00:33:10a professional
00:33:10courtesy call,
00:33:11not an invitation
00:33:12for debate.
00:33:13Now,
00:33:14just...
00:33:15what's that conniving
00:33:21bitch plotting?
00:33:22She knows
00:33:23Adrian
00:33:24is our
00:33:25surgical secret weapon.
00:33:26Why would she
00:33:27deliberately provoke
00:33:28a medical war
00:33:29she has
00:33:30absolutely no chance
00:33:31of winning?
00:33:35Unless...
00:33:36Dad,
00:33:42we've got
00:33:42multiple traumas
00:33:42coming in.
00:33:43Just tell me
00:33:43you didn't fire
00:33:44Dr. Marksman.
00:33:46Dad,
00:33:47relax.
00:33:48I fired the other one,
00:33:49that incompetent
00:33:50slacker resident
00:33:51that you mentioned.
00:33:52Then explain to me
00:33:53why Hart Medical Center
00:33:55believes they can
00:33:56suddenly challenge
00:33:57our surgical supremacy.
00:33:59Because I
00:34:01masterfully led
00:34:02Vivian Hart
00:34:03into a false
00:34:03sense of reality.
00:34:05It's not way
00:34:05a mediocre doctor
00:34:06can revolutionize
00:34:07surgical procedures.
00:34:09I convinced Vivian
00:34:10that she's acquired
00:34:11surgical brilliance.
00:34:12when in reality
00:34:14she's hired
00:34:14our disgraced
00:34:15discarded loser.
00:34:17So you deliberately
00:34:18manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks
00:34:20she's hired
00:34:21genius
00:34:22behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:23groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:25That's why she had
00:34:26the audacity
00:34:26to declare war on you.
00:34:27Impressive, son.
00:34:29You're finally showing
00:34:30some of the leadership
00:34:31qualities.
00:34:32I've been waiting
00:34:32to see out of you.
00:34:33I think you're ready
00:34:34to take complete control
00:34:36of our experimental
00:34:37surgical division.
00:34:38Dad, this is everything
00:34:42I've worked for.
00:34:44We'll get to work
00:34:45immediately.
00:34:46We're going to expose
00:34:47Hart Medical Center
00:34:49for the low-grade
00:34:51institution it truly is.
00:34:53Their humiliation
00:34:54will be quick
00:34:55and absolute.
00:34:57I won't let you down.
00:35:00Darling,
00:35:01surgical innovation
00:35:02is the future of Vail.
00:35:03Preston only got
00:35:05his MBA last year.
00:35:06Do you really think
00:35:07it's wise to entrust him
00:35:09with our most
00:35:09prestigious program?
00:35:11I would never take
00:35:12a risk like this
00:35:13if Preston was
00:35:14our only asset.
00:35:16Remember,
00:35:17we have the ultimate
00:35:18surgical secret weapon.
00:35:21You mean the surgeon
00:35:22that saved my life?
00:35:23Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:25Exactly.
00:35:26And all I need to do
00:35:28is stay hands-off
00:35:30and let him
00:35:32exercise his
00:35:33extraordinary talents.
00:35:36As long as Adrian
00:35:37is with Vail Hospital,
00:35:39Hart Medical Center
00:35:40has no chance
00:35:41of competing.
00:35:43Not only that,
00:35:44Vivian fell
00:35:45for Preston's manipulation
00:35:46and hired that
00:35:47medical disaster
00:35:49Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:52What we have to do now
00:35:53is sit back
00:35:55and watch her
00:35:56would-be empire
00:35:58crumble.
00:36:02So,
00:36:06now that you've seen
00:36:07the surgical department,
00:36:08what do you think?
00:36:11It's not bad.
00:36:13It's a small team,
00:36:14but they're talented.
00:36:15What you've built here,
00:36:17it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:21It's good to see you again
00:36:22after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:24You too.
00:36:26We need to expand.
00:36:27it's too small
00:36:29for what I'm planning.
00:36:31So,
00:36:32I heard
00:36:34you weren't
00:36:34the only surgeon
00:36:35Preston Vail fired.
00:36:40We have all the angles
00:36:42figured out,
00:36:42don't you?
00:36:43And I always find
00:36:44the best one.
00:36:53I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:36:54Good.
00:36:58The faster we rise,
00:37:00the more rewarding
00:37:02this partnership becomes.
00:37:15This better be good.
00:37:18Mr. Vail,
00:37:20you wanted to see me?
00:37:21My father
00:37:26has granted me
00:37:27complete authority
00:37:28over our experimental
00:37:29surgical department.
00:37:30Given your new position
00:37:31as chief of surgery,
00:37:33I'm appointing you
00:37:34head of innovation.
00:37:36Mr. Vail,
00:37:36I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue
00:37:38with that?
00:37:39No,
00:37:40absolutely not.
00:37:41The budget for innovation
00:37:43is astronomical,
00:37:44and President Vail
00:37:45has already handed
00:37:46control to his son?
00:37:47If I oversee
00:37:49these procedures,
00:37:50I could divert
00:37:50significant resources
00:37:51to my personal research.
00:37:54Mr. Vail,
00:37:55you can trust me completely.
00:37:57I am precisely
00:37:58the right man
00:37:59for the job.
00:38:02Preston,
00:38:03we have a catastrophe
00:38:03on our hands.
00:38:04Two attending surgeons
00:38:05just submitted
00:38:05their resignation
00:38:06simultaneously.
00:38:07The department
00:38:07can't possibly
00:38:08maintain its caseload.
00:38:09What?
00:38:10They both resigned
00:38:11at once?
00:38:11What was their explanation?
00:38:12They refused
00:38:13to disclose their reasons.
00:38:14But there's talk
00:38:15they were recruited
00:38:15by a former Vail physician,
00:38:17along with the three
00:38:18other surgeons
00:38:18you fired before.
00:38:19Former physician
00:38:20Adrian Marksman,
00:38:21this has his
00:38:22saboteur signature
00:38:23all over it.
00:38:24President,
00:38:25what is our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department
00:38:27is severely understaffed.
00:38:29If any more surgeons
00:38:30leave,
00:38:30patients will suffer.
00:38:31Okay, everybody
00:38:32needs to remain calm.
00:38:35You still have me.
00:38:38I can rebuild
00:38:38this department.
00:38:40Ah, yes.
00:38:41With your stellar reputation,
00:38:42we should be able
00:38:43to get the best
00:38:43of the best.
00:38:44Yes, exactly.
00:38:46So we lost
00:38:46some second-rate talent.
00:38:48Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls
00:38:52to Cedars-Sinai
00:38:53and UCLA.
00:38:56Good work, Marksman.
00:39:00This is working out
00:39:01perfectly.
00:39:02Now I can install
00:39:03my own allies
00:39:04in key positions.
00:39:05Soon,
00:39:06I'll control
00:39:06the entire hospital's
00:39:07medical direction.
00:39:14It's an honor to meet you,
00:39:33Dr. Hart.
00:39:34This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:39He's a triple-board
00:39:40certified surgeon.
00:39:42And soon,
00:39:42he'll be the head
00:39:43of trauma surgery.
00:39:44This is Dr. Rose,
00:39:46Chen,
00:39:47Rose,
00:39:47and Thomas.
00:39:49All consummate professionals.
00:39:51My most trusted colleagues
00:39:52back at Vail.
00:39:53With this surgical team,
00:39:58Hart Medical can revolutionize
00:39:59surgical care
00:40:00all across the country.
00:40:03Actually,
00:40:03the whole world.
00:40:05We're eager to begin,
00:40:06Dr. Hart.
00:40:06Well,
00:40:07welcome to
00:40:08Hart Medical Center.
00:40:09I am thrilled
00:40:12to have surgeons
00:40:12of your caliber
00:40:13joining us,
00:40:14but I do need
00:40:16to be transparent.
00:40:17We have got
00:40:18considerable ground
00:40:19to cover
00:40:19before we can truly
00:40:21challenge
00:40:21Vail Hospital's
00:40:22dominance.
00:40:23Have no fear,
00:40:23Dr. Hart.
00:40:25With Adrian leading
00:40:25our team,
00:40:26we'll be three steps
00:40:27ahead of anything
00:40:28Vail attempts.
00:40:29Yes,
00:40:30but Vail has already
00:40:31implemented Adrian's
00:40:33breakthrough surgical
00:40:34procedure protocols.
00:40:35Yeah,
00:40:36about that.
00:40:37It's a preliminary
00:40:38version.
00:40:39If they continue
00:40:39to develop
00:40:40this approach
00:40:40without modification,
00:40:42then what?
00:40:42A lot of deaths,
00:40:44a lot of lawsuits,
00:40:46a lot of patients
00:40:47could be harmed
00:40:47or worse.
00:40:48These procedures
00:40:49weren't ready
00:40:50for widespread
00:40:50implementation
00:40:51without proper
00:40:52refinement.
00:40:53Those techniques
00:40:54require precise
00:40:55calibration
00:40:55and specialized
00:40:56training
00:40:57without that foundation.
00:40:59We're talking
00:41:00about serious
00:41:00complications,
00:41:02preventable harm.
00:41:03Our first priority
00:41:04has to be
00:41:05patient safety.
00:41:06We need to
00:41:06perfect these
00:41:07procedures,
00:41:08and then we can
00:41:09find a way
00:41:09to prevent
00:41:10Vail from
00:41:10continuing
00:41:11with the
00:41:12flawed protocols.
00:41:13Exactly.
00:41:14It's not about
00:41:14competition or pride.
00:41:16It's about
00:41:16saving lives.
00:41:20We're using
00:41:21our experience
00:41:22with the trial
00:41:22procedures I did
00:41:23at Vail
00:41:24to develop
00:41:24next generation
00:41:25surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating
00:41:27all the previous
00:41:29complications
00:41:29and inefficiencies.
00:41:30even if
00:41:32Vail Hospital
00:41:33analyzes
00:41:33our fundamental
00:41:34approach
00:41:35and attempts
00:41:35to create
00:41:36something new
00:41:36will maintain
00:41:38our significant
00:41:39advantage.
00:41:40And if they
00:41:41stubbornly continue
00:41:42with their
00:41:42flawed protocols,
00:41:44rest assured,
00:41:45their outcomes
00:41:46will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish it
00:41:48upon their patients,
00:41:49that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this moment.
00:41:52In this battle
00:41:53for medical supremacy,
00:41:54Heart Medical Center
00:41:55will emerge victorious.
00:41:57It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track
00:42:07of time again.
00:42:13Viv,
00:42:14you surprised me.
00:42:16Looks like
00:42:17you could use
00:42:18a nice rub.
00:42:19Do you mind?
00:42:21No.
00:42:23I mean,
00:42:24yeah.
00:42:25will you give
00:42:27all your surgeons
00:42:27massages?
00:42:29Only the ones
00:42:30I really,
00:42:31really like.
00:42:37You really,
00:42:38really like me?
00:42:39Adrienne,
00:42:40I've really,
00:42:40really liked you
00:42:41since residency.
00:42:43Nothing's changed.
00:42:45You were our
00:42:46most brilliant
00:42:47resident in the program.
00:42:49I never imagined
00:42:49someone like you
00:42:50would like me.
00:42:51There was never
00:42:51anyone else
00:42:52that got my attention.
00:42:54Only you.
00:42:55But you were
00:42:58completely oblivious.
00:43:00And then you just
00:43:01vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well,
00:43:04I left to join
00:43:04the Experimental
00:43:05Surgical Fellowship
00:43:06in Switzerland.
00:43:08I know.
00:43:11Your talent
00:43:11was extraordinary
00:43:12even then.
00:43:14Back then,
00:43:15I made a promise
00:43:16to myself
00:43:16that we would
00:43:17work together
00:43:17again someday.
00:43:19You know,
00:43:20when I established
00:43:21Heart Medical Center,
00:43:22my first priority
00:43:23was recruiting you.
00:43:24But that
00:43:26manipulative
00:43:27tyrant,
00:43:28Nelson Vale,
00:43:29had already secured
00:43:30your contracts
00:43:31with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:34I understand now.
00:43:35So,
00:43:43should we
00:43:45pick up
00:43:46where we left off
00:43:47in residency?
00:43:48You're the boss.
00:43:50That's right.
00:43:51And as your boss,
00:43:53I say,
00:43:54come home with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:56You lost everything
00:43:58when Preston fired you.
00:44:00Hospital privileges,
00:44:02research funding,
00:44:04even your hospital
00:44:06subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally
00:44:10nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:19All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal
00:44:31I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful,
00:44:33Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking
00:44:36you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends
00:44:38on the company.
00:44:39Well,
00:44:40starting tonight,
00:44:41this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's
00:44:45fully established,
00:44:46it just makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure about that?
00:44:49We already work
00:44:50late hours.
00:44:52Living together
00:44:53could get complicated.
00:44:56Well,
00:44:56I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things interesting.
00:45:01And
00:45:01where exactly
00:45:03will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well,
00:45:05my master suite
00:45:09has a
00:45:11California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room.
00:45:17If things ever need
00:45:19to get
00:45:19more
00:45:20collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight,
00:45:29at least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you
00:45:35your room.
00:45:37Unless you'd rather
00:45:39have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:41things could get
00:45:48dangerous.
00:45:52Is this pathetic
00:45:55attempt really the best
00:45:56that you can do?
00:45:56You are completely
00:46:02worthless as surgeons.
00:46:04Dr. Marksman,
00:46:05the experimental
00:46:06procedures we're
00:46:07trying to replicate here
00:46:07are extraordinarily
00:46:08intricate.
00:46:10We need at least
00:46:10six months
00:46:11to properly master
00:46:12Six months?
00:46:14You have
00:46:1572 hours.
00:46:16And I expect
00:46:17hourly updates
00:46:18on my desk.
00:46:19Sir,
00:46:19brushing these
00:46:20delicate procedures
00:46:21dramatically increases
00:46:23the possibility
00:46:24of potentially
00:46:24fatal complication.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26Then you don't
00:46:27get one hour more.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:30Go.
00:46:34Report,
00:46:35Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress,
00:46:38Mr. Vale.
00:46:39We will be advancing
00:46:40to phase two
00:46:41implementation
00:46:41within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly
00:46:44what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment
00:46:46in appointing you
00:46:47was flawless.
00:46:47Preston,
00:46:53I need an update
00:46:54on the experimental
00:46:55surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding
00:46:58perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done,
00:47:01I'll throw you
00:47:02a huge party
00:47:03to celebrate the launch.
00:47:05Your father must be
00:47:05so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work,
00:47:08Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father
00:47:10understands your
00:47:11invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:15Why settle for
00:47:15chief of surgery
00:47:16with the right maneuvering,
00:47:17I could become
00:47:18the next chief medical
00:47:19officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale,
00:47:22my purpose
00:47:23is to execute
00:47:24the visionary
00:47:25medical strategies
00:47:26of brilliant
00:47:28administrators
00:47:28such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that
00:47:31in the position
00:47:32of chief medical officer,
00:47:33I could implement
00:47:34your ideas
00:47:35more effectively
00:47:36throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:38If these procedures
00:47:38prove successful,
00:47:40I will personally
00:47:40discuss your advancement
00:47:41with the board.
00:47:42Truly,
00:47:43that's...
00:47:43I am proficiently
00:47:46grateful, sir.
00:48:06You're finally awake.
00:48:07You can keep
00:48:13appreciating the view
00:48:14while you eat.
00:48:16All right.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:22When you're finished eating,
00:48:24we'll head directly
00:48:24to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:30Good.
00:48:31Get it up and running,
00:48:32and there may be
00:48:33a special bonus
00:48:35waiting for you.
00:48:36extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching
00:48:50a critical phase
00:48:51of our program development.
00:48:53We have
00:48:53groundbreaking procedures
00:48:55that we need to perfect
00:48:56in very little time,
00:48:57so let's get to it.
00:48:59Let's start
00:48:59revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news
00:49:02for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized
00:49:05arrangements with the board,
00:49:06and upon successful
00:49:07implementation
00:49:08of our surgical innovations,
00:49:11each of you will receive
00:49:12a fully funded
00:49:13medical mission trip
00:49:14anywhere in the world
00:49:15that you choose
00:49:16to share your expertise.
00:49:18And when the time comes
00:49:20that our procedures
00:49:20receive national certification,
00:49:23every surgeon

00:53:01don't worry
00:53:02when preston makes me chief medical officer
00:53:05i'm gonna need someone
00:53:07flexible in my corner
00:53:09i was back at the winning team dr marksman
00:53:12today vale hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next generation surgical program
00:53:25this cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:53:30especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day
00:53:35the question now is
00:53:37who will define the future of surgery
00:53:39relax mr vale
00:53:41heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:44i hope you're right
00:53:46for your sake
00:53:49didn't you say that uh
00:53:53if the rollout went well that you'd make me
00:53:55chief medical officer
00:53:57it's not a success
00:53:59yet
00:54:00enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:03because if our results don't outshine heart medical
00:54:06it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time
00:54:09dr hurt we um have a problem
00:54:23vale hospital's new surgical program launches today
00:54:27that's soon
00:54:29they're hosting a big celebration party tonight
00:54:32it's a good thing we're ahead of
00:54:36you're saying we're ready
00:54:39why would i lie
00:54:40we've been tracking vales every move
00:54:43let him celebrate
00:54:45it's just gonna backfire
00:54:46how exactly does that work in our favor
00:54:49babe do you remember what i told you
00:54:52when you first brought me here
00:54:53preston vale is rushing this
00:54:57he's desperate to beat us to the market
00:54:58and
00:54:59their model's flawed
00:55:01if they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach
00:55:05we won't have to lift a damn finger
00:55:08and what about when it falls apart
00:55:10then heart medical takes over as the future of modern surgery
00:55:13so you're saying that vale hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed
00:55:20it's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast
00:55:23they're using an early draft
00:55:25full of mistakes that i won't make again
00:55:27they don't even realize the cracks in their foundation
00:55:30that actually
00:55:32makes perfect sense
00:55:34which means
00:55:36we've already won
00:55:37well this is a big day for us
00:55:39we should celebrate

01:05:38say hey why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life
01:05:41that procedure david used i invented it

01:06:00my handwriting
01:06:02my theories
01:06:03just pissed because he did what you couldn't
01:06:07i'm pissed because you use rudimentary theories as innovation
01:06:11and when it fails
01:06:13and it will
01:06:15you're not the ones that'll pay for it
01:06:18the patients will
01:06:19you can't prove that
01:06:21not yet
01:06:22but you can't fake medicine
01:06:26medicine and science
01:06:28always
01:06:29tell
01:06:30the truth
01:06:33our three's vitals just dropped
01:06:34we've got uncontrolled bleeding
01:06:36second patient today
01:06:37same issue
01:06:38vessel ligation failed mid operation
01:06:40these techniques aren't viable
01:06:42the veil method doesn't hold under stress
01:06:45i mean come on
01:06:46tonight proves it
01:06:48we're ahead of every surgical institute in the country
01:06:59i'll be right back
01:07:00just coordinating with the team
01:07:05talk to me
01:07:06the vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again
01:07:08this is the second patient bleeding out tonight
01:07:13use the compression step
01:07:15that only works in controlled scenarios
01:07:17we told you these procedures weren't fully tested
01:07:21look just follow the notes
01:07:26i designed those techniques for 101 guidance
01:07:29not mass implementation
01:07:31without calibration
01:07:32it's unstable
01:07:34it's dangerous
01:07:35they tried to commercialize your success without you
01:07:38now people are paying for it
01:07:40all good
01:07:43of course
01:07:44just routine coordination
01:07:47routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss
01:07:50your surgical program is failing
01:07:53patients are suffering
01:07:55you've been out of the field for months
01:07:56you wouldn't know
01:07:57yeah i would know
01:07:59because the procedures that you're butchering
01:08:01i invented
01:08:02and i'm the only one in this room
01:08:03who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing
01:08:05oh shit
01:08:07oh shit
01:08:14oh yes this is dr marksman
01:08:16yeah connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately
01:08:18okay
01:08:21listen very carefully
01:08:22your patient or three is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:26because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed
01:08:30no
01:08:31you need to perform a marksman modified pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation
01:08:36followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures
01:08:45yes
01:08:47yes
01:08:49how do we even know he made a phone call
01:08:52this whole thing is performance charade
01:08:55you stole his methods
01:08:57this entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork
01:09:02uh that's a lie
01:09:04then prove me wrong
01:09:05show them all a technique that i didn't create
01:09:11why would we believe anything he says
01:09:13he was fired
01:09:14humiliated
01:09:15you're right i was fired
01:09:16and the same procedures i pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary
01:09:23you know what this is pathetic
01:09:25he's just jealous
01:09:26he missed his shot
01:09:27is that what you told yourself
01:09:29when you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal
01:09:32even if that were true
01:09:34even if that were true
01:09:35this isn't the time or the place
01:09:37i think it's exactly the time and place
01:09:38i just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator and thanks to adrian's guidance our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients
01:09:44adrian just cleaned up your mess
01:09:45you took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him
01:09:47the one person who could make them safe
01:09:49dad you don't see the full picture here
01:09:50i just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator
01:09:54are near to you
01:09:55Totally
01:09:56oh my god
01:09:57uh...
01:09:58oh my god
01:10:00we get that
01:10:01ok
01:10:02you can see but
01:10:03that is the other thing
01:10:05that's great
01:10:06let me know
01:10:07i have a great job
01:10:08he's here
01:10:09and i can see you
01:10:10as a kid
01:10:12and as a kid
01:10:13who had an inaid
01:10:15oh my god
01:10:17i hope
01:10:18he's been working
01:10:19oh my god
01:10:21built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:26Your father nearly died because of your ego, because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me, you saved Nelson, and now you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all. No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now. You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two,
01:10:49and probably even more than me. It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready. They needed supervision, precision, development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage.
01:11:15Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started, okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal. I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:35You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:39He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:45We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:49This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:53Oh, it's your night.
01:11:55It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:57You lied to me.
01:11:59I didn't lie.
01:12:00I simplified the truth.
01:12:02Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:08You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:11You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:21Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:32I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:48And without him, it won't.
01:12:50This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:59You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:10Taking his side, dad?
01:13:12I'm your son.
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:16And so will the board.
01:13:17We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:31That's enough.
01:13:32Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:40Dad, you're not going to let him drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No, don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey, dad!
01:13:47I'm in the side belt bag!
01:13:49I'm just getting slapped out of the...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:51Do something, please!
01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52I missed it!
01:13:53I'm not a child!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility!
01:14:03Adrian, please.
01:14:05I made a mistake.
01:14:06I see that now.
01:14:07I should have believed in you.
01:14:09I should have stood by you.
01:14:11You were right about everything.
01:14:16Just give me a second chance.
01:14:18Please!
01:14:20I still love you.
01:14:23Love?
01:14:23You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:27You don't understand.
01:14:29I thought he was finished.
01:14:32I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:33So you sold him out.
01:14:35Mocked him.
01:14:37Over and over again.
01:14:39I was scared.
01:14:40I...
01:14:41I didn't know what to do.
01:14:42Oh, you knew.
01:14:44You just didn't care.
01:14:45Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:50Please.
01:14:51Say something.
01:14:52Anything.
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:57And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:01You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:13And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:18The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board, and David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:27We're rebuilding.
01:15:28And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:34I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:36I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:48Adrian 2.0.
01:15:49I'm not coming back.
01:15:53You're choosing her?
01:15:55Our rival?
01:15:56You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:58I open the door for you, and you slam it in my face.
01:16:03Just typical.
01:16:04Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:10She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:14Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:17Get me out of here.
01:16:19Now!
01:16:20Now!
01:16:24Oh!
01:16:28Oh!
01:16:29Oh!
01:16:30Oh!
01:16:30Oh!
01:16:30Oh!
01:16:30Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:33Oh!
01:16:33Oh!
01:16:33Oh!
01:16:34Oh!
01:16:37Corma, how's good timing?
01:16:41Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey!
01:16:48Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:00This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:01This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:10It's not bad.
01:17:12I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:19And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:26You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:27You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:30But I am very thorough.
01:17:39Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:46Well, I've been able to win.
01:17:54I know where's any one?
01:17:55I never should.
01:17:57I be doing well.
01:17:58I don't know where's going to be.
01:18:00Hopefully, I mean, I'm just going to be timer, merci, ha, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:18:05Okay.
01:18:07Thank you for good, guys.
01:18:09Thank you for good hope and good.
01:18:10See you soon.
01:18:12Bye.
01:18:14Yep.
