You Fired A Genius Surgeon USA #ReelShort
Transcript
00:00:00The patient's crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:02The patient won't survive.
00:00:04Watch.
00:00:05Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level of trauma like this?
00:00:09This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:00:11What you just did will go down in the history box.
00:00:14Who is this guy?
00:00:15He's taking over as hospital administrator.
00:00:17New management, new standards.
00:00:19Sleeping after a shift?
00:00:20You are fired.
00:00:21I just worked all night.
00:00:23Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:00:25He's the one.
00:00:26Didn't I fire you too already?
00:00:28Get your hand off my gun arm.
00:00:31We're done, Adrian.
00:00:32I need someone with a future.
00:00:34Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:00:39This isn't about money.
00:00:40Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?
00:00:45These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:00:47With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:00:50Why is that?
00:00:51Oh.
00:00:52Why are you just standing there?
00:00:53Do something!
00:00:54If you need help, just ask.
00:00:55All you have to do is know what you did.
00:00:58A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:01:07patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:01:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their
00:01:16last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:01:20Facials crashing!
00:01:21We need an attending surgeon now!
00:01:23All the hours are full.

00:05:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:05:29Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:05:32You must have operated all night.
00:05:34You're a machine.
00:05:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:05:39All right, it's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:05:49Hey, you.
00:06:01Hey, yourself.
00:06:04I've been operating all night.
00:06:07I see every single patient in that pileup.
00:06:10What I did was extraordinary.
00:06:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:06:16Because I know you.
00:06:17Better than anyone.
00:06:25Goldberry.
00:06:26Your favorite.
00:06:28You remembered.
00:06:30Where's your dad?
00:06:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:06:36I know it's only been a month, but...
00:06:40It just feels different.
00:06:47It's the third time this week.
00:06:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:06:53Hmm.
00:06:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:06:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:06:58Sure, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:07:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:07:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:07:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:07:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:07:23Who is this guy?
00:07:24Preston Bale, President Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:07:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:07:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:07:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:07:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:07:46Sir, about last...
00:07:47Save it!
00:07:49Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:07:54You're fired.
00:07:56Clear out your office.
00:07:57New management means new standards.
00:08:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:08:02Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:08:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:08:15No complications, no deaths.
00:08:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:08:22Who does he think he is, Dr. House?
00:08:25What is this?
00:08:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:08:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:08:35This is a hospital.
00:08:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:08:41That was from my residency direction.
00:08:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:08:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:08:47and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:08:51You're fired.
00:08:52Excuse me?
00:08:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:08:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:09:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:09:04That was good.
00:09:05Let's go.
00:09:10Well, well, well.
00:09:12What do we have here?
00:09:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:09:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:09:18Did I order a wake-up call?
00:09:25No, you didn't.
00:09:26Yes, but here's one anyway.
00:09:28You are fired.
00:09:32Are you serious?
00:09:34You're firing me?
00:09:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:09:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:09:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:09:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:09:49What's he make?
00:09:51$700,000.
00:09:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:09:55$700?
00:09:56Are you insane?
00:09:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:10:01This hospital is being scammed.
00:10:03I just worked all night.
00:10:05Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:10:06Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:10:09I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:10:13What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:10:15Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:10:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:10:25My career comes first.
00:10:27Boy, bye.
00:10:29There must be some clerical error.
00:10:32His credentials.
00:10:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:10:37Fiona?
00:10:39Dr. Marksman.
00:10:42You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:10:45Fire.
00:10:47Clear out your office.
00:10:49Clear out your locker.
00:10:50Or get the hell out of my hospital.
00:10:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:10:54You need to check the surgical lock.
00:10:56Oh, you don't get to wear that.
00:10:57What?
00:11:04I see.
00:11:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:11:10You don't understand.
00:11:11He's the one who...
00:11:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:11:14Beat it.
00:11:15Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:11:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:11:19I understand.
00:11:39Hospital politics.
00:11:41I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:11:44Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:11:48I'll be waiting.
00:11:57You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:59The board won't like this.
00:12:06Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:12:08Patient care will suffer.
00:12:10Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:12:12I intend to wield it.
00:12:14Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:12:18Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:12:21No, Preston.
00:12:22He means nothing to me.
00:12:24Really.
00:12:24I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:12:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:12:30Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:12:34Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:12:40The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:12:44Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded
00:12:47who's in charge around here.
00:12:49Hey, Dad.
00:12:58What's wrong?
00:12:59Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:13:01She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:13:06And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:13:09Of course.
00:13:09What is it?
00:13:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
00:13:13Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:13:16Dr. Marksman?
00:13:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:13:20Get out of my hospital.
00:13:22Christ.
00:13:23The resident I just fired?
00:13:26Preston?
00:13:27Are you there?
00:13:29Check the staff roster.
00:13:31See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:13:35I had to back up the Briggs truck to get him here.
00:13:39He's the surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:13:41And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:13:45The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:13:54Ah, yes.
00:13:55I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:58Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:14:03Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:14:07Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:14:09Is this what you mean, Dad?
00:14:10That's our man.
00:14:11There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:14:16Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:14:18Do me a favor.
00:14:19Fire him.
00:14:21Already done, Dad.
00:14:22I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:14:25Thank God.
00:14:26Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:14:29Good work, son.
00:14:31I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:14:34Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:14:36I got everything else under control.
00:14:44See?
00:14:46Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:14:49Now, about your career trajectory.
00:14:52Mr. Vail, sir.
00:14:54Can't you see I'm busy?
00:14:56Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:58The six-car pileup.
00:14:59You fired half our surgery team.
00:15:00What's your point?
00:15:01ER is crashing.
00:15:03We've no one left who can handle it.
00:15:10Give me the situation.
00:15:12Now.
00:15:12Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:15:16Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleeds, sir.
00:15:19We're losing patients.
00:15:21What are our options?
00:15:22There might be one solution.
00:15:24Well, spit it out.
00:15:26Dr. Marksman.
00:15:27He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:15:29If we can get him back here.
00:15:31Marksman.
00:15:32Right.
00:15:32That's the man we need.
00:15:33Fiona, call him.
00:15:34Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:15:37The genius surgeon.
00:15:38The one I didn't fire.
00:15:39Keep up.
00:15:42What the hell?
00:15:46Where'd all this stuff go?
00:16:03Idiot left his research notes.
00:16:06Mmm.
00:16:07Modified trauma protocol.
00:16:09Wait.
00:16:10These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:16:16Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:16:21Hello?
00:16:22Dr. Marksman.
00:16:24Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:16:26Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:16:28there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:16:31I'm on my way.
00:16:32With Adrian's techniques,
00:16:37I'll look like a genius.
00:16:39They'll make me department head.
00:16:41And I can finally make seven figures.
00:16:49Well?
00:16:50Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:16:52Thank God.
00:16:53Now, about your loyalty.
00:17:06Adrian meant nothing.
00:17:08I was using him to advance my career.
00:17:11You're my future.
00:17:12That's my girl.
00:17:13Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:17:24the boss's son is up to something.
00:17:27To hell with this.
00:17:28I'm going up.
00:17:29Piece of shit.
00:17:48Get your hand on my girl.
00:17:52Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:17:54You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:17:56can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:59You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:18:01with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:18:03I can choose who I want.
00:18:05And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:18:07You pathetic loser.
00:18:15Oh.
00:18:15Oh.
00:18:24We're done, Adrian.
00:18:27Ancient history.
00:18:28Are you serious?
00:18:31Just like that.
00:18:32Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:18:38Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:18:39Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:18:41I need someone with a future.
00:18:43Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:18:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:18:52It's the closest you'll ever come
00:18:54to the real thing again.
00:18:57Oh.
00:19:00Look at us, Adrian.
00:19:02I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:19:04And you?
00:19:08Just a slacker.
00:19:09And scrubs.
00:19:11You're washed up, marksman.
00:19:12Perhaps try nursing?
00:19:14I hear they're always hiring.
00:19:17Fiona, I met you here,
00:19:18and it made me want to stay.
00:19:19I thought we could build a family together.
00:19:24Get over yourself.
00:19:26You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:19:27who lied about their credentials?
00:19:29President Vail would never have hired someone
00:19:32who sleeps during shifts.
00:19:36We're done.
00:19:38I'm not done.
00:19:39But when I am,
00:19:41there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:19:43You can count on that.
00:19:49No, no, no.
00:19:49Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:19:52Your troubles are just getting started.
00:19:58He'll authorize you to be here.
00:20:00Mr. Vail,
00:20:00I'm pleased to announce
00:20:01that under my supervision,
00:20:03we've stabilized all the patients
00:20:05from the multi-car accident,
00:20:06and the situation is completely under control.
00:20:09You're Dr. Marksman.
00:20:11Ah, yes.
00:20:12The very same.
00:20:13My father mentioned your
00:20:14exceptional credentials.
00:20:17Harvard Medical, was it?
00:20:19These morons have no idea
00:20:21I'm taking credit
00:20:22for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:20:25As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:20:27I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:20:29Mr. Vail,
00:20:30I've identified who's responsible
00:20:31for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:20:35He was sleeping
00:20:36while a patient almost died on the table.
00:20:39Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:20:40Dr. Hart.
00:20:51Incredible news.
00:20:53Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:20:54that surgical pioneer
00:20:55that you've been tracking,
00:20:57he's just been terminated
00:20:58from Vail Hospital.
00:21:00When?
00:21:01Less than an hour ago.
00:21:03Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:21:04Oh, amazing.
00:21:08I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face
00:21:11when he discovers
00:21:12that his prized surgeon
00:21:13was fired by his submental son.
00:21:16With, uh, respect,
00:21:18we're still establishing our reputation.
00:21:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:21:23even consider joining us?
00:21:25We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:21:27Full department autonomy.
00:21:31Research funding.
00:21:32State-of-the-art facilities.
00:21:35And if necessary,
00:21:36my personal involvement.
00:21:39His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:21:43Have my car brought round.
00:21:45I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:21:48And Adrian Marksman,
00:21:49he's leaving with me.
00:21:57Now, Fisans.
00:21:59What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:22:01Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:22:03A patient coded
00:22:04while you were off taking a nap.
00:22:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:22:08Yet you stand there denying it.
00:22:09This is crazy.
00:22:11You've all passed me off
00:22:12as some second-rate surgeon.
00:22:13And when a complication occurs,
00:22:15which happened in this hospital
00:22:17under your incompetent leadership,
00:22:18you blame me?
00:22:23The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:22:25isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:22:28If you were even half the surgeon
00:22:30that you claim to be,
00:22:31you would still have a job.
00:22:34I'm not going to stand here
00:22:35and debate medicine with you
00:22:36in front of Mr. Vail.
00:22:37Security, please detain him.
00:22:45What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:22:47Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:22:49or they'll escort you to the police
00:22:52for criminal negligence.
00:22:54Adrian, I never realized
00:22:56you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:59What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:23:01You better confess now
00:23:02or we'll do everything in your power
00:23:04to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:23:05Fine.
00:23:08Go ahead.
00:23:10Do your worst.
00:23:11Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:23:13holds up in front of the medical board.
00:23:16You really underestimate
00:23:18my family's influence, don't you?
00:23:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:23:23can end your entire career
00:23:24with one phone call?
00:23:26Sir, I strongly recommend
00:23:27that we make an example out of him.
00:23:29After all, he'll be a danger
00:23:31to his patients wherever he goes.
00:23:32Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:23:36Not after what he did to our patients.
00:23:39I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:23:42As of this moment,
00:23:43Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted
00:23:45from Vail Hospital
00:23:46and every medical institute in the country.
00:23:49Plan's in motion, Adrian.
00:23:51Do you know what that means?
00:23:53It means that you
00:23:53will never practice medicine
00:23:55in this country again.
00:23:56I have one question before I go.
00:24:01Does your father know you fired me?
00:24:04My father's the one
00:24:05who asked me to fire you,
00:24:06you dipshit.
00:24:09You thought you were
00:24:10some brilliant surgical god,
00:24:12didn't you?
00:24:14Security, remove this criminal
00:24:15from hospital property immediately.
00:24:17Immediately.
00:24:18Yes, doctor.
00:24:19Right away, sir.
00:24:23That's quite enough.
00:24:24Let him go.
00:24:38Dr. Marksman
00:24:39is about to accept the position
00:24:41as chief of surgical innovation
00:24:44at Heart Medical Center.
00:24:46I know you.
00:24:49You're Vivian Hart,
00:24:51the surgical upstar
00:24:51from that medical clinic across town.
00:24:54That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:24:57Mr. Vail.
00:24:58Vivian?
00:24:59I haven't seen you
00:25:00since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:25:01like four or five years ago.
00:25:03What are you doing here?
00:25:05Well, I'm here for the most innovative
00:25:06surgeon in the country, of course.
00:25:10Wait.
00:25:10Are you seriously suggesting
00:25:12this negligent doctor has value?
00:25:14He was sleeping during rounds.
00:25:17Is this how Vail Hospital
00:25:18discards its exceptional talent?
00:25:21Your father built
00:25:22this institution's reputation
00:25:23of medical excellence,
00:25:26not petty politics.
00:25:28Dr. Hart,
00:25:29with all due respect...
00:25:31This is a conversation
00:25:32between medical directors.
00:25:34Someone in your position
00:25:35should recognize
00:25:35when to maintain silence.
00:25:37Dr. Hart,
00:25:38I must inform you
00:25:39that Dr. Marksman
00:25:40represents a serious liability.
00:25:42He compromised
00:25:43the patient's safety and...
00:25:45I don't believe I requested
00:25:46your medical opinion,
00:25:48Dr....
00:25:48Marksman.
00:25:49David Marksman.
00:25:50I have neither time
00:25:51nor interest
00:25:52in your assessment.
00:25:55After he
00:25:56decided to go to sleep,
00:25:58we had a critical
00:25:59surgical complication.
00:26:01His negligence
00:26:02led to the problem.
00:26:03His actions
00:26:04not only endangered patients,
00:26:05it compromised
00:26:06my hospital's reputation.
00:26:08Are you really willing
00:26:10to defend someone
00:26:11who violates
00:26:12the Hippocratic Oath?
00:26:14Did you actually
00:26:14consult with your father
00:26:16before dismissing
00:26:16Dr. Marksman?
00:26:18Of course I consulted
00:26:19my father.
00:26:22He's the one
00:26:23who specifically mentioned
00:26:24his dangerous
00:26:24surgical shortcuts
00:26:25and inflated reputation.
00:26:28Dangerous shortcuts?
00:26:30Is that what
00:26:31President Vail
00:26:31really said?
00:26:32His exact words were,
00:26:34remove him
00:26:34at first opportunity.
00:26:36President Vail
00:26:37was the one
00:26:37that recruited me.
00:26:38This makes absolutely
00:26:38no sense.
00:26:39Please, Adrian.
00:26:41The President
00:26:41wouldn't personally
00:26:42recruit a mid-level
00:26:43surgeon like you.
00:26:45Those gala invitations
00:26:46were professional courtesy,
00:26:49not genuine respect.
00:26:51Well, if that's the way
00:26:51things work at Vail,
00:26:52I have nothing more
00:26:53to contribute
00:26:54to any of you.
00:26:56Dr. Marksman,
00:26:57would you consider
00:26:58joining Heart Medical Center
00:26:59as our chief of surgery?
00:27:02Well, I've...
00:27:03Full department autonomy.
00:27:04Protected research time.
00:27:07A surgical fellowship
00:27:08in your name.
00:27:09And a seven-figure salary package.
00:27:34And cash.
00:27:44Dr. Marksman,
00:27:46I want you to revolutionize
00:27:47our surgery program.
00:27:49Hopefully this shows you.
00:27:52I mean what I say.
00:27:53Chief of surgery?
00:28:03You're offering all this
00:28:04to a surgeon
00:28:05who can't even keep
00:28:06his eyes open on the job?
00:28:08Dr. Hart,
00:28:09have you completely lost
00:28:10your medical judgment
00:28:11or are you on drugs?
00:28:12This is absurd.
00:28:14He was a mediocre surgeon
00:28:15here at Vail.
00:28:17And now you're positioning him
00:28:19to lead your entire
00:28:19surgical department?
00:28:20The medical board
00:28:23should review
00:28:24your hiring practices.
00:28:27Vivian,
00:28:28I appreciate your confidence.
00:28:31This isn't about money.
00:28:34Maybe there's something
00:28:35beyond professional opportunity
00:28:37that might interest you.
00:28:39She's offering herself
00:28:40up to him.
00:28:41She can't do that.
00:28:42Are you a doctor
00:28:43or a call girl?
00:28:45At Heart Medical Center,
00:28:46you will be given
00:28:47everything a surgeon
00:28:48of your caliber deserves,
00:28:50including a boss
00:28:52that would do
00:28:53absolutely anything
00:28:54to recognize your value.
00:28:56And I do mean anything,
00:28:57Dr. Marksman.
00:29:00Dr. Hart,
00:29:02for the sake
00:29:03of your own reputation,
00:29:04you need to know
00:29:05that this hack
00:29:05you're so eagerly pursuing
00:29:07has a documented history
00:29:09of negligence.
00:29:10My father confirmed
00:29:11it himself.
00:29:12Is that precisely
00:29:14what Nelson Bale
00:29:15told you?
00:29:15His exact words.
00:29:18Negligence, Serge?
00:29:20What are those?
00:29:23Personal gifts
00:29:24from your father?
00:29:28My fellowship offer?
00:29:30My personal research lab?
00:29:32My surgical team?
00:29:34I'm leaving it all behind.
00:29:37You can tell
00:29:38President Vail
00:29:39that as of this moment,
00:29:40Dr. Marksman
00:29:41has permanently withdrawn
00:29:42from Vail Hospital
00:29:44and all of its affiliated
00:29:45institutions.
00:29:47You know what?
00:29:48Spare us the theatrics,
00:29:49Adrian.
00:29:50You never deserve
00:29:51those privileges
00:29:51in the first place.
00:29:53The medical board
00:29:54is going to see
00:29:54that justice is done.
00:29:56Oh,
00:29:57your stupidity,
00:29:59it's just
00:30:00astonishing.
00:30:01you treat pioneering surgeons
00:30:03like disposable scalpels.
00:30:05This man
00:30:06is a life-saving artist.
00:30:12Dr. Hart,
00:30:13I understand
00:30:14there's some competition
00:30:15between your center
00:30:16and Vail Hospital.
00:30:17Yeah,
00:30:18look,
00:30:18I'll be real.
00:30:20We're struggling
00:30:20to get out
00:30:21from under their shadow.
00:30:22Look,
00:30:22I'd be happy
00:30:23to help you out
00:30:23with that.
00:30:24Take me on
00:30:25and I'll transform Hart
00:30:26into the number one
00:30:27surgical institution
00:30:28in the country.
00:30:29Look at yourself,
00:30:32Adrian,
00:30:33offering your skills
00:30:34to a struggling clinic.
00:30:35How pathetically desperate.
00:30:38Oh,
00:30:39a backstabbing
00:30:40bottom feeder
00:30:41like you
00:30:41has absolutely
00:30:42no right
00:30:43to judge
00:30:43a surgeon
00:30:43of his caliber.
00:30:45How dare you
00:30:45talk to me
00:30:46like that!
00:30:47Your malpractice
00:30:48has caused
00:30:49catastrophic damage
00:30:51to my hospital's
00:30:52reputation.
00:30:53As the responsible
00:30:54party,
00:30:55I demand
00:30:55that you
00:30:56issue a formal
00:30:57apology
00:30:58to one of the
00:30:58major medical journals
00:30:59and with an
00:31:01explanation
00:31:01to every
00:31:02affected
00:31:02Vail Hospital
00:31:03patient.
00:31:05Refuse me
00:31:06and I will
00:31:07ensure
00:31:07that the
00:31:08medical board
00:31:08revokes
00:31:08your license
00:31:09permanently.
00:31:10That accusation
00:31:11isn't just
00:31:12baseness.
00:31:13It's absurd.
00:31:14What exactly
00:31:15do you think
00:31:15you're going
00:31:15to do about it?
00:31:17You've got
00:31:17no choice
00:31:18but to sign
00:31:18this confession.
00:31:19Oh,
00:31:20stop threatening
00:31:20my chief surgeon.
00:31:22If you insist
00:31:23on pursuing
00:31:23this vendetta,
00:31:24have your attorney
00:31:25send a formal
00:31:26complaint to
00:31:26Hart Medical Center.
00:31:27we'll consider
00:31:28it nothing
00:31:29less than
00:31:30a declaration
00:31:31of total
00:31:32war.
00:31:33If it's
00:31:33war you
00:31:34want,
00:31:35I will
00:31:36obliterate
00:31:36your dime
00:31:37store clinic
00:31:38with everything
00:31:38that I've
00:31:39got.
00:31:40Let's go.
00:31:42One more
00:31:42second and
00:31:43this cesspool
00:31:43is going to
00:31:43make me
00:31:44physically
00:31:44ill.
00:31:53Mr.
00:31:54Vail,
00:31:55don't you
00:31:56waste another
00:31:56precious moment
00:31:57on those
00:31:57second-rate
00:31:58practitioners.
00:32:00David,
00:32:01you've proven
00:32:01your loyalty.
00:32:02The chief
00:32:03of surgery
00:32:04position
00:32:04is yours
00:32:05effective
00:32:05immediately.
00:32:07This is
00:32:08extraordinary.
00:32:11I am honored
00:32:14beyond words.
00:32:15Don't forget
00:32:16about me,
00:32:16Preston.
00:32:18Don't worry,
00:32:19babe.
00:32:20You will be
00:32:21thoroughly
00:32:22compensated
00:32:22for your
00:32:23loyalty.
00:32:23how exciting.
00:32:27Mr.
00:32:27Vail,
00:32:27I swear
00:32:28on my
00:32:28medical oath
00:32:29that I will
00:32:30not disappoint
00:32:31you.
00:32:32Mr.
00:32:33Vail,
00:32:33a commuter
00:32:34train derailed,
00:32:35six critical
00:32:35patients incoming.
00:32:36Dr.
00:32:37Marksman,
00:32:37OR1 now.
00:32:39Now's your time
00:32:39to shine,
00:32:39Dr.
00:32:40Marksman.
00:32:41Shit,
00:32:41I'm screwed.
00:32:42Adrian's
00:32:42surgical journal
00:32:43with all his
00:32:43proprietary techniques
00:32:45is still in my
00:32:45office.
00:32:46If Preston
00:32:47finds out,
00:32:47I stole it
00:32:48and then
00:32:48couldn't even
00:32:49use it properly.
00:32:51I implemented
00:32:52a groundbreaking
00:32:54surgical protocol
00:32:55that I invented
00:32:56myself.
00:32:57These techniques
00:32:57are revolutionary.
00:32:59I'll walk you
00:33:00through it in detail
00:33:00after the emergency.
00:33:02It's impressive,
00:33:03Dr. Marksman.
00:33:04You've obviously
00:33:04got your own
00:33:05methodology.
00:33:06No need to bore
00:33:07me with the specifics.
00:33:08I trust your brilliance.
00:33:10Keep up the good work,
00:33:11Dr. Marksman.
00:33:12With you leading
00:33:12my surgical team,
00:33:14I can focus
00:33:14on what really matters,
00:33:16hospital expansion.
00:33:17Again, sir,
00:33:20I'm deeply honored.
00:33:27Behold,
00:33:28Vail Hospital's
00:33:29new chief of surgery.
00:33:31Let's see how
00:33:31all these condescending
00:33:32clowns treat me now.
00:33:37Glad you're feeling
00:33:38better, honey.
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:41Oh, sorry.
00:33:42Who's this?
00:33:43Nelson Vail speaking.
00:33:48President Vail,
00:33:49Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:33:51I am calling
00:33:52to let you know
00:33:53that as of this morning,
00:33:54Hart Medical Center
00:33:55has officially entered
00:33:57the experimental
00:33:57surgery arena.
00:33:59Revolutionary surgical
00:34:00procedures are
00:34:01Vail Hospital's domain.
00:34:03Are you absolutely
00:34:04certain you want
00:34:05to pick this fight?
00:34:07This is merely
00:34:08a professional
00:34:08courtesy call,
00:34:09not an invitation
00:34:10for debate.
00:34:11Now, just...
00:34:17Just that conniving
00:34:18bitch plotting.
00:34:20She knows Adrian
00:34:21is our surgical
00:34:23secret weapon.
00:34:24Why would she
00:34:25deliberately provoke
00:34:26a medical war
00:34:27she has absolutely
00:34:28no chance of winning?
00:34:33Unless...
00:34:34Dad, we've got
00:34:40multiple traumas
00:34:40coming in.
00:34:40Just tell me
00:34:41you didn't fire
00:34:42Dr. Marksman.
00:34:44Dad, relax.
00:34:45I fired the other one,
00:34:47that incompetent
00:34:48slacker resident
00:34:49that you mentioned.
00:34:49Then explain to me
00:34:51why Hart Medical Center
00:34:53believes they can
00:34:54suddenly challenge
00:34:55our surgical supremacy.
00:34:57Because I
00:34:59masterfully led
00:35:00Vivian Hart
00:35:00into a false
00:35:01sense of reality.
00:35:03It's not way
00:35:03a mediocre doctor
00:35:04can revolutionize
00:35:05surgical procedures.
00:35:06I convinced Vivian
00:35:08that she's acquired
00:35:09surgical brilliance.
00:35:10But in reality,
00:35:11she's hired
00:35:12our disgraced,
00:35:13discarded loser.
00:35:14So you deliberately
00:35:15manipulated Vivian?
00:35:17She thinks
00:35:18she's hired
00:35:19genius
00:35:19behind Vail Hospital's
00:35:21groundbreaking procedures.
00:35:23That's why
00:35:23she had the audacity
00:35:24to declare war on you.
00:35:25Impressive, son.
00:35:26You're finally showing
00:35:28some of the leadership
00:35:28qualities.
00:35:29I've been waiting
00:35:30to see out of you.
00:35:31I think you're ready
00:35:32to take complete control
00:35:33of our experimental
00:35:35surgical division.
00:35:38Dad, this is everything
00:35:40I've worked for.
00:35:41We'll get to work
00:35:42immediately.
00:35:43We're going to expose
00:35:45Hart Medical Center
00:35:46for the low-grade
00:35:48institution it truly is.
00:35:51Their humiliation
00:35:52will be quick
00:35:53and absolute.
00:35:54I won't let you down.
00:35:57Darling,
00:35:58surgical innovation
00:36:00is the future of Vail.
00:36:01Preston only got
00:36:02his MBA last year.
00:36:04Do you really think
00:36:05it's wise to entrust him
00:36:06with our most
00:36:07prestigious program?
00:36:08I would never take
00:36:09a risk like this
00:36:11if Preston
00:36:12was our only asset.
00:36:13Remember,
00:36:14we have the ultimate
00:36:16surgical secret weapon.
00:36:18You mean the surgeon
00:36:19that saved my life?
00:36:20Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:36:23Exactly.
00:36:24And all I need to do
00:36:26is stay hands-off
00:36:28and let him
00:36:30exercise his
00:36:31extraordinary talents.
00:36:33As long as Adrian
00:36:34is with Vail Hospital,
00:36:37Hart Medical Center
00:36:38has no chance
00:36:39of competing.
00:36:40Not only that,
00:36:41Vivian fell
00:36:43for Preston's manipulation
00:36:44and hired that
00:36:45medical disaster
00:36:46Dr. David Marksman,
00:36:49all we have to do now
00:36:51is sit back
00:36:53and watch her
00:36:54would-be empire
00:36:56crumble.
00:37:02So,
00:37:03now that you've seen
00:37:04the surgical department,
00:37:06what do you think?
00:37:09It's not bad.
00:37:10It's a small team,
00:37:11but they're talented.
00:37:13What you've built here
00:37:14it's impressive, Viv.
00:37:18It's good to see you again
00:37:19after all these years, Adrian.
00:37:22You too.
00:37:23We need to expand.
00:37:25It's too small
00:37:26for what I'm planning.
00:37:28Also,
00:37:29I heard
00:37:31you weren't the only surgeon
00:37:32Preston Vail fired.
00:37:38We have all the angles
00:37:39figured out, don't you?
00:37:40And I always find
00:37:41the best one.
00:37:44I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:53Good.
00:37:55The faster we rise,
00:37:57the more rewarding
00:37:59this partnership becomes.
00:38:01This better be good.
00:38:15Mr. Vail,
00:38:17you wanted to see me?
00:38:18My father
00:38:23has granted me
00:38:24complete authority
00:38:25over our experimental
00:38:26surgical department.
00:38:28Given your new position
00:38:29as chief of surgery,
00:38:31I'm appointing you
00:38:32head of innovation.
00:38:33Mr. Vail,
00:38:34I, uh...
00:38:35Is there an issue
00:38:36with that?
00:38:37No, absolutely not.
00:38:38The budget for innovation
00:38:40is astronomical
00:38:41and President Vail
00:38:42has already handed
00:38:43control to his son?
00:38:45If I oversee
00:38:46these procedures,
00:38:47I could divert
00:38:48significant resources
00:38:49to my personal research.
00:38:51Mr. Vail,
00:38:52you can trust me completely.
00:38:55I am precisely
00:38:55the right man
00:38:56for the job.
00:38:57Preston,
00:39:00we have a catastrophe
00:39:01on our hands.
00:39:02Two attending surgeons
00:39:02just submitted
00:39:03their resignation
00:39:03simultaneously.
00:39:04The department
00:39:05can't possibly
00:39:05maintain its caseload.
00:39:06What?
00:39:07They both resigned
00:39:08at once?
00:39:09What was their explanation?
00:39:10They refused
00:39:10to disclose their reasons.
00:39:12But there's talk
00:39:12they were recruited
00:39:13by a former Vail physician,
00:39:15along with the three
00:39:15other surgeons
00:39:16you fired before.
00:39:17Former physician
00:39:18Adrian Marksman,
00:39:19this has his
00:39:20saboteur signature
00:39:21all over it.
00:39:22Preston,
00:39:22what's our contingency plan?
00:39:24The surgical department
00:39:25is severely understaffed.
00:39:26If any more surgeons leave,
00:39:28patients will suffer.
00:39:29Okay, everybody
00:39:30needs to remain calm.
00:39:33You still have me.
00:39:35I can rebuild
00:39:36this department.
00:39:37Ah, yes.
00:39:38With your stellar reputation,
00:39:40we should be able
00:39:40to get the best of the best.
00:39:42Exactly.
00:39:43So we lost
00:39:44some second-rate talent.
00:39:46Let him go.
00:39:48I'll make some calls
00:39:49to Cedar Sinai
00:39:50and UCLA.
00:39:53Good work, Marksman.
00:39:56This is working out perfectly.
00:40:00Now I can install
00:40:00my own allies
00:40:01in key positions.
00:40:03Soon,
00:40:03I'll control
00:40:04the entire hospital's
00:40:05medical direction.
00:40:06It's an honor to meet you,
00:40:30Dr. Hart.
00:40:31This is Dr. Parker here.
00:40:37He's a triple board
00:40:38certified surgeon.
00:40:39And soon,
00:40:39he'll be the head
00:40:40of trauma surgery.
00:40:41This is Dr. Rose,
00:40:43Chen,
00:40:44Rose,
00:40:45and Thomas.
00:40:46All consummate professionals.
00:40:48My most trusted colleagues
00:40:49back at Vail.
00:40:53With this surgical team,
00:40:55Hart Medical
00:40:56can revolutionize
00:40:57surgical care
00:40:58all across the country.
00:41:00Actually,
00:41:01the whole world.
00:41:02We're eager to begin,
00:41:03Dr. Hart.
00:41:04Well,
00:41:05welcome to
00:41:06Hart Medical Center.
00:41:08I am thrilled
00:41:09to have surgeons
00:41:10of your caliber
00:41:10joining us,
00:41:11but
00:41:12I do need
00:41:13to be transparent.
00:41:15We have got
00:41:15considerable ground
00:41:16to cover
00:41:17before we can
00:41:17truly challenge
00:41:18Vail Hospital's
00:41:19dominance.
00:41:20Have no fear,
00:41:21Dr. Hart.
00:41:22With Hadrian
00:41:23leading our team,
00:41:23we'll be three steps
00:41:24ahead of anything
00:41:25Vail attempts.
00:41:26Yes,
00:41:27but Vail
00:41:28has already
00:41:28implemented
00:41:29Adrian's
00:41:30breakthrough
00:41:31surgical procedure
00:41:31protocols.
00:41:33Yeah,
00:41:33about that.
00:41:35It's a preliminary
00:41:35version.
00:41:36If they continue
00:41:37to develop
00:41:37this approach
00:41:38without modification...
00:41:39Then what?
00:41:40A lot of deaths.
00:41:42A lot of lawsuits.
00:41:43A lot of patients
00:41:44could be harmed.
00:41:45Or worse,
00:41:46these procedures
00:41:46weren't ready
00:41:47for widespread
00:41:48implementation
00:41:48without proper
00:41:49refinement.
00:41:51Those techniques
00:41:51require precise
00:41:52calibration
00:41:53and specialized
00:41:54training.
00:41:54without that
00:41:56foundation.
00:41:56We're talking
00:41:57about serious
00:41:58complications.
00:41:59Preventable harm.
00:42:00Our first priority
00:42:01has to be
00:42:02patient safety.
00:42:03We need to
00:42:04perfect these
00:42:05procedures,
00:42:06and then we
00:42:06can find a way
00:42:07to prevent
00:42:07Vail from
00:42:08continuing
00:42:08with the
00:42:09flawed protocols.
00:42:11Exactly.
00:42:11It's not about
00:42:12competition or
00:42:12pride.
00:42:13It's about
00:42:14saving lives.
00:42:15We're using
00:42:18our experience
00:42:19with the
00:42:19trial procedures
00:42:20I did at
00:42:21Vail to
00:42:21develop next
00:42:22generation
00:42:22surgical
00:42:23techniques
00:42:24eliminating all
00:42:25the previous
00:42:26complications
00:42:26and inefficiencies.
00:42:28Even if
00:42:29Vail Hospital
00:42:30analyzes our
00:42:31fundamental
00:42:31approach and
00:42:32attempts to
00:42:33create something
00:42:33new,
00:42:34we'll maintain
00:42:35our significant
00:42:36advantage.
00:42:37And if they
00:42:38stubbornly continue
00:42:39with their flawed
00:42:40protocols,
00:42:41rest assured,
00:42:42their outcomes
00:42:43will deteriorate.
00:42:44I don't wish
00:42:45it upon their
00:42:45patients,
00:42:46that's for sure.
00:42:48Remember this
00:42:48moment.
00:42:49In this battle
00:42:50for medical
00:42:50supremacy,
00:42:51Heart Medical
00:42:52Center will
00:42:53emerge victorious.
00:43:01It's 3 a.m.
00:43:03Lost track of
00:43:04time again.
00:43:10Viv, you
00:43:11surprised me.
00:43:14Looks like you
00:43:14could use a nice
00:43:15rub.
00:43:17Do you mind?
00:43:18No.
00:43:21I mean,
00:43:22yeah.
00:43:23What do you give
00:43:24all your surgeons
00:43:24massages?
00:43:27Only the ones I
00:43:27really, really
00:43:28liked.
00:43:34You really,
00:43:35really liked me?
00:43:36Adrienne, I've
00:43:37really, really liked
00:43:38you since
00:43:38residency.
00:43:39nothing's changed.
00:43:42You were our most
00:43:43brilliant resident
00:43:44in the program.
00:43:46I never imagined
00:43:46someone like you
00:43:47would like me.
00:43:48There was never
00:43:48anyone else that
00:43:49got my attention.
00:43:51Only you.
00:43:54But you were
00:43:55completely oblivious.
00:43:57And then you just
00:43:58vanished from the
00:43:59program.
00:44:00Well, I left to
00:44:01join the Experimental
00:44:02Surgical Fellowship
00:44:03in Switzerland.
00:44:04I know.
00:44:08Your talent was
00:44:09extraordinary even
00:44:10then.
00:44:11Back then, I made
00:44:12a promise to myself
00:44:13that we would work
00:44:14together again someday.
00:44:16You know, when I
00:44:17established Heart
00:44:18Medical Center, my
00:44:20first priority was
00:44:21recruiting you.
00:44:22But that manipulative
00:44:24tyrant, Nelson
00:44:25Bale, had already
00:44:27secured your contracts
00:44:28with ridiculous
00:44:29incentives.
00:44:30I understand now.
00:44:39So, should we
00:44:42pick up where we
00:44:43left off in residency?
00:44:45You're the boss.
00:44:47That's right.
00:44:48And as your boss,
00:44:50I say, come home
00:44:52with me.
00:44:53Tonight?
00:44:54You lost everything
00:44:55when Preston fired you.
00:44:57Hospital privileges,
00:44:58research funding,
00:45:01even your hospital
00:45:03subsidized apartment.
00:45:06You have literally
00:45:07nowhere else to go
00:45:08tonight.
00:45:10Come with me.
00:45:13Where?
00:45:15My place.
00:45:19Hmm.
00:45:23All right.
00:45:25I'll admit it.
00:45:26That was the best
00:45:28meal I've had in months.
00:45:29Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:45:31I might start thinking
00:45:32you're easy to please.
00:45:34That just depends
00:45:35on the company.
00:45:36Well, starting tonight,
00:45:38this is your new home.
00:45:41Until the program's
00:45:42fully established,
00:45:43it just makes sense.
00:45:45Are you sure about that?
00:45:46We already work late hours.
00:45:49Living together
00:45:50could get complicated.
00:45:52Well, I like complicated.
00:45:55Keeps things interesting.
00:45:58And
00:45:58where exactly
00:46:00will I be sleeping?
00:46:01Well,
00:46:02my master suite
00:46:06has a
00:46:08California king.
00:46:12Plenty of room
00:46:13if things ever need to get
00:46:16more
00:46:16collaborative.
00:46:18really?
00:46:22Relax.
00:46:23I'm only teasing.
00:46:25Tonight,
00:46:26at least.
00:46:28Come on.
00:46:31I'll show you
00:46:32your room.
00:46:34Unless you'd rather
00:46:35have a nightcap.
00:46:37And mine.
00:46:38things could get dangerous.
00:46:50Is this pathetic attempt
00:46:52really the best
00:46:52that you can do?
00:46:57You are completely
00:46:58worthless as surgeons.
00:47:00Dr. Marksman,
00:47:01the experimental procedures
00:47:03we're trying to replicate here
00:47:04are extraordinarily intricate.
00:47:06We need at least
00:47:07six months
00:47:08to properly master
00:47:09Six months?
00:47:11You have
00:47:1272 hours.
00:47:13And I expect
00:47:13hourly updates
00:47:14on my desk.
00:47:15Sir,
00:47:16brushing these
00:47:17delicate procedures
00:47:18dramatically increases
00:47:20the possibility
00:47:20of potentially fatal
00:47:21complications.
00:47:22Three days.
00:47:23Then you don't get
00:47:24one hour more.
00:47:26Go.
00:47:27Go.
00:47:31Report,
00:47:31Dr. Marksman.
00:47:32What's our status?
00:47:34Excellent progress,
00:47:35Mr. Vale.
00:47:35We will be advancing
00:47:36to phase two
00:47:37implementation
00:47:38within three days.
00:47:40That's exactly
00:47:41what I wanted to hear.
00:47:42I knew my judgment
00:47:43in appointing you
00:47:43was flawless.
00:47:50Preston,
00:47:50I need an update
00:47:51on the experimental
00:47:52surgery program.
00:47:54Everything's proceeding
00:47:54perfectly, Father.
00:47:56Outstanding.
00:47:57When this is done,
00:47:58I'll throw you
00:47:58a huge party
00:48:00to celebrate the launch.
00:48:01Your father must be
00:48:02so proud of you.
00:48:04Keep up the good work,
00:48:04Dr. Marksman.
00:48:06I'll make sure
00:48:06my father understands
00:48:07your invaluable contribution.
00:48:10This is my shot.
00:48:11Why settle
00:48:12for chief of surgery?
00:48:13With the right maneuvering,
00:48:14I could become
00:48:14the next chief medical officer
00:48:16of Vale Hospital.
00:48:17Mr. Vale,
00:48:18my purpose
00:48:20is to execute
00:48:21the visionary
00:48:22medical strategies
00:48:23of brilliant administrators
00:48:25such as yourself.
00:48:26I believe that
00:48:28in the position
00:48:28of chief medical officer,
00:48:30I could implement
00:48:31your ideas
00:48:32more effectively
00:48:32throughout the entire hospital.
00:48:34If these procedures
00:48:35prove successful,

00:51:31are you just trying to impress me i was trying to impress you you even know midnight meetings
00:51:40long hours this work ethic of yours it's a little dangerous
00:51:50that's what bell used to say about me then they fired me
00:51:54then they were fools you've earned more than just respect here adrian you know that right
00:52:10you trying to motivate me again i don't try
00:52:17i do
00:52:17well don't work too late
00:52:26you're no good to me burnt out
00:52:36the incompetence is uh is staggering yeah you too are in way over your heads
00:52:43do you really think that this is acceptable i give you one simple task and you screw it up
00:52:51how the hell did either of you even finish residency
00:52:55vale general hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless little
00:53:01interns if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow you're both gone is that clear
00:53:07yes sir this is the man i trusted to lead my surgical team
00:53:15go
00:53:21oh mr vale what a what a what a surprise cut the
00:53:24bullshit marksman we on schedule or not of course we're we're just refining the final stages
00:53:33yeah everything is under control good there's a problem i expect to hear it from you with no
00:53:40cover-ups of course sir
00:53:44mr fail not now go get me the latest performance reports
00:53:52it uh looks like preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here
00:53:57don't worry when preston makes me chief medical officer i'm gonna need someone flexible in my
00:54:05corner i was back at the winning team dr marksman
00:54:15today vale hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next generation surgical program this
00:54:22cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry especially
00:54:27as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day the question now is who will
00:54:33define the future of surgery relax mr vale heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:54:41i hope you're right for your sake
00:54:47didn't you say that uh if the rollout went well that you'd make me
00:54:52chief medical officer it's not a success yet
00:54:58enjoy tonight's launch party because if our results don't outshine heart medical
00:55:03it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time
00:55:05doctor heart we uh have a problem vale hospital's new surgical program launches today that's soon
00:55:25they're hosting a big celebration party tonight it's a good thing we're ahead of
00:55:32you're saying we're ready why would i lie we've been tracking gail's every move
00:55:40let him celebrate it's just gonna backfire how exactly does that work in our favor
00:55:46bib do you remember what i told you when you first brought me here
00:55:51preston vale's rushing this he's desperate to beat us to the market and their model's flawed
00:55:57if they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach
00:56:03we won't have to lift a damn finger and what about when it falls apart
00:56:06then heart medical takes over as the future of modern surgery
00:56:11so you're saying that vale hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that
00:56:15you designed it's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast
00:56:19they're using an early draft full of mistakes that i won't make again
00:56:23they don't even realize the cracks in their foundation that actually makes perfect sense
00:56:31which means we've already won well this is a big day for us we should celebrate
00:56:37what do you have in mind drinks not quite you and i are crashing the veil launch party tonight what
00:56:45why let me worry about that in the meantime ensure a smooth rollout finish whatever procedures you need to

01:06:06or at least a new department if you still want that chief medical officer position say the word
01:06:12now do i have to have somebody escort you out that maneuver that notebook it's mine then tell them
01:06:21where is he going maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital
01:06:31leaving so soon dr p jays say why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life
01:06:36that procedure david used i invented it what kind of crack are you smoking he's delusional
01:06:50somebody seriously check this guy's medical license the notebook he used to save your father
01:06:55that's mine my handwriting my theories just pissed because he did what you couldn't
01:07:03i'm pissed because you use rudimentary theories as innovation and when it fails
01:07:11and it will
01:07:13you're not the ones that'll pay for it the patients will you can't prove that not yet
01:07:20but you can't fake medicine medicine and science always tell the truth
01:07:26our three's vitals just dropped we've got uncontrolled bleeding second patient today
01:07:33same issue vessel ligation failed mid-operation these techniques aren't viable the veil method
01:07:39doesn't hold under stress i mean come on tonight proves it we're ahead of every surgical institute in the
01:07:46country
01:07:53uh i'll be right back just coordinating with the team
01:08:01talk to me the vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again this is the second patient bleeding out tonight
01:08:06use the compression step that only works in control scenarios we told you these procedures weren't fully tested
01:08:17look just follow the notes
01:08:22i designed those techniques for 101 guidance not mass implementation without calibration it's unstable
01:08:31it's dangerous they tried to commercialize your success without you
01:08:34how people are paying for it
01:08:38all good of course just routine coordination
01:08:43routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss your surgical program is failing and patients
01:08:49are suffering you've been out of the field for months you wouldn't know yeah i would know
01:08:54because the procedures that you're butchering i invented and i'm the only one in this room who can fix the
01:09:00mess that you made in your surgical wing oh
01:09:07oh yes this is dr marksman yeah connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately
01:09:16okay listen very carefully your patient or three is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:09:22because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed no you need to perform a
01:09:28marksman modified pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial legation followed by a rapid sequence
01:09:34vascular anatomosis using interrupted six dash zero proline sutures yes
01:09:41yes how do we even know he made a phone call this whole thing is performance charade you stole his methods
01:09:53this entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork uh that's a lie then prove me wrong
01:10:01show them all the technique that i didn't create
01:10:07why would we believe anything he says he was fired humiliated you're right i was fired and the same
01:10:13procedures i pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary yeah you know what this
01:10:19is pathetic he's just jealous he missed his shot is that what you told yourself when you snuck back into
01:10:26my office and stole my surgical journal even if that were true this isn't the time or the place i think
01:10:33it's exactly the time and place
01:10:47i just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator and thanks to adrian's guidance
01:10:52our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients adrian just cleaned up your mess you took
01:11:00this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him the one person who could make them safe
01:11:09dad you don't see the full picture here oh i'm seeing it perfectly well this hospital was built on
01:11:17trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both your father nearly died because of your ego
01:11:25because of his lies
01:11:28you saved me you saved nelson and now you can save vale i tried to warn you all no one listened
01:11:37well they're listening now you deserve to be at vale more than either of those two
01:11:45and probably even more than me it was a mistake to let you go months ago i was fired from vale hospital
01:11:53with procedures still in development they weren't ready they needed supervision precision development
01:12:02instead someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory oh you can't prove that security
01:12:09footage
01:12:13of you stealing adrian's notebook from the hospital
01:12:17already submitted to the board
01:12:20i built on what he started okay i i didn't steal i i i enhanced it then why were patients about to die
01:12:30you falsified rollout readiness he did more than that
01:12:34he put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program
01:12:40we're going to need to open a formal investigation on this this is absurd this was supposed to be our
01:12:46night oh it's your night just not the way you thought it'd be you lied to me i didn't lie i simplified the
01:12:55truth simplify you could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people you nearly killed the
01:13:03president of the hospital you passed up experimental procedures as launch ready that's malpractice
01:13:10they worked nelson's alive look the patients they're alive yeah because of me those methods require
01:13:17sequential tensioning breath control special clamp techniques getting one beat wrong is the difference
01:13:22between life and death wait these really are your techniques i tested them for years
01:13:29it was never meant for mass rollout not without training you're rewriting history
01:13:35no you tried to erase him from it adrian marksman was the reason that veil's program had a future
01:13:42and without him it won't this is absurd you're siding with this disgraced former resident he's not
01:13:50disgraced son you are you hijacked a program you didn't understand and then when your ego wasn't
01:13:58enough you propped up this fraud taking his side dad i'm your son i'm taking the side of truth
01:14:10and so will the board we will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning until then both of
01:14:15you're suspended from all surgical and administrative duties suspended no no you can't do that you don't
01:14:22understand the politics of running a hospital we understand the liability that's enough
01:14:29mr press and veil dr david marksman come with us dad you're not gonna often drag me out like this i'm
01:14:37your son no don't you touch me don't you're not a child hey dad you're not my responsibility
01:14:58trim please i made a mistake i see that now i should have believed in you
01:15:03i should have stood by you you were right about everything
01:15:10just give me a second chance please i still love you
01:15:17love you traded him the second someone flashier walked by you don't understand i thought he was
01:15:24finished i thought he had nothing left so you sold him out mocked him over and over again
01:15:33i was scared i i didn't know what to do oh you knew you just didn't care
01:15:40not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser please
01:15:46say something anything you had your chance fiona and you spent it holding preston's arm while they
01:15:54tried to bury me alive
01:16:04you always belonged in my operating room and i should have fought harder to keep you
01:16:09if i'd only known what was going on behind the scenes
01:16:12the board will vote that preston is removed from the board and david will never go near another
01:16:20patient again we're rebuilding and i want you back as vale's chief of experimental surgery
01:16:29i'm sorry dr vale you had your chance too i'm not the same man that you fired
01:16:38well all the more reason we need you back at vale
01:16:41adrian 2.0 i'm not coming back
01:16:47you're choosing her our rival you arrogant little ingrate i open the door for you and you
01:16:55slam it in my face just typical just when you had your moment you turn your back on it for for what her
01:17:03she's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else oh projecting much nelson
01:17:12get me out of here now
01:17:18carma has good timing
01:17:35speaking of timing we should get back to work we have lives to save hey not so fast mr hot shot genius
01:17:45sergeant i still owe you that extra special bonus now we'll just spend a time like the present
01:18:03this is what victory tastes like it's not bad i need a second opinion
01:18:08well i've got all night and you're not leaving this room until i properly celebrated my genius surgeon
01:18:18should i be afraid of a performance review you're already exceeding expectations but i am very thorough
