00:00:00Patients crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!

00:00:03The patient won't survive.

00:00:04Watch.

00:00:05Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one 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 of us.

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! I 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!

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.

00:00:50Please! Dad!

00:00:51Uh...

00:00:52Why are you just standing there? Do something!

00:00:53If you need help, just ask.

00:00:55All you have to do is admit what you did.

00:00:58A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.

00:01:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.

00:01:20Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!

00:01:23All the hours are full. We got three more clinicals incoming!

00:01:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.

00:01:29I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?

00:01:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.

00:01:34Need a hand?

00:01:51A new hire. You just started this month.

00:01:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!

00:01:59The patient's pressure is dropping.

00:02:01Then prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.

00:02:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.

00:02:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.

00:02:16Trust me.

00:02:18Medicine bomb scissors?

00:02:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.

00:02:26That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.

00:02:29Bobicottery?

00:02:33Watch.

00:02:35He's doing it in half the normal time.

00:02:42The bleeding? It's under control.

00:02:45But how did he...

00:02:48Silk Sutra?

00:02:54Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.

00:02:58I've never seen anything like this.

00:03:04Almost done.

00:03:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:03:16Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.

00:03:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...

00:03:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.

00:03:34Where did you learn to operate like that?

00:03:36What you just did will go down in the history books.

00:03:39Wait.

00:03:40I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy

00:03:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.

00:03:47Is that you?

00:03:55Final suture.

00:03:57Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.

00:04:03Doctor!

00:04:06The nurses...

00:04:07They said you did it.

00:04:09And you...

00:04:11You actually did.

00:04:15Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.

00:04:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,

00:04:20that she only had weeks to live, but...

00:04:23You...

00:04:25You saved my Catherine.

00:04:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.

00:04:29Name your price, whatever it is.

00:04:30We need you at Vail.

00:04:32My hospital.

00:04:33Look, I'll explain later.

00:04:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.

00:04:40It's gonna take hours.

00:04:42Y'all should go home.

00:04:43Get some rest.

00:04:45I'll take over from here.

00:04:47Okay.

00:04:49Good work, everyone.

00:05:03They're all stable.

00:05:04Every single one of them.

00:05:05Stabilized.

00:05:06Oh, sun's coming up.

00:05:07We must have operated all night.

00:05:08You're a machine.

00:05:09Well, that's why they don't work.

00:05:10They're all stable.

00:05:11Every single one of them.

00:05:12Stabilized.

00:05:13Oh, sun's coming up.

00:05:15We must have operated all night.

00:05:16You're a machine.

00:05:17Oh, sun's coming up.

00:05:18We must have operated all night.

00:05:19You're a machine.

00:05:20Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:24All right.

00:05:25It's time for some much-needed Shadeye.

00:05:28We must have operated all night.

00:05:31All right.

00:05:32It's time for some...

00:05:33Much-needed Shadeye.

00:05:34You're a machine.

00:05:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:39Alright, it's time for some much-needed Shaddai.

00:05:57Hey, you.

00:06:01Hey, yourself.

00:06:04I've been operating tonight.

00:06:06I saved every single patient in that pileup.

00:06:09All you did was extraordinary.

00:06:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?

00:06:16Because I know you.

00:06:18Better than anyone.

00:06:25Blueberry.

00:06:26Your favorite?

00:06:28You remembered.

00:06:30Appreciate it.

00:06:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.

00:06:34I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.

00:06:41It's the third time this week.

00:06:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.

00:06:53Hmm.

00:06:54So who's the smart skin guy?

00:06:56His 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 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?

00:07:25Preston Vale, Preston Vale'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?

00:07:41Or med school dropouts?

00:07:43Hard to tell based on your behavior.

00:07:46Sir, about last-

00:07:47Save it!

00:07:48Harker.

00:07:50You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.

00:07:53You'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.

00:08:05Attention, everybody's attention now.

00:08:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,

00:08:12every surgery must be perfect.

00:08:14No complications, no deaths.

00:08:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.

00:08:20Who 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.

00:08:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.

00:08:40That was from my residency direction.

00:08:42Oh, cry me a river!

00:08:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients

00:08:47and a little less time collecting gold stars,

00:08:49you'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

00:08:55just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.

00:08:58Yes, sir.

00:08:59Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?

00:09:02That 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.

00:09:23Did I order a wake-up call?

00:09:25No, you didn't.

00:09:26But here's one anyway.

00:09:28You.

00:09:29Are.

00:09:30Fired.

00:09:33Are you serious?

00:09:34You're firing me?

00:09:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?

00:09:39Well, no.

00:09:40But there must be some sort of mistake.

00:09:42Fiona, what's his position here?

00:09:44He's...

00:09:47a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.

00:09:50What's he make?

00:09:51700,000.

00:09:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.

00:09:55700?

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.

00:10:04I just worked all night.

00:10:05Okay?

00:10:06I'm just taking a nap.

00:10:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.

00:10:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.

00:10:14What were you thinking hiring this fraud?

00:10:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons,

00:10:18or this is some sort of insurance scam.

00:10:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together,

00:10:23but I can't let him drag me down.

00:10:25My career comes first.

00:10:28Boy, bye.

00:10:30There 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, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.

00:10:46Clear out your office.

00:10:49Clear out your locker.

00:10:50And get the hell out of my hospital.

00:10:53This is a mistake, okay?

00:10:54You need to check the surgical lock.

00:10:55Oh, you don't get where that door.

00:11:04I see.

00:11:06Sir, 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.

00:11:15Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?

00:11:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.

00:11:36I understand.

00:11:39Hospital politics.

00:11:41Look, I know it's only been a month,

00:11:43but there is something real between us.

00:11:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift.

00:11:48I'll be waiting.

00:11:49You care to explain that little exchange?

00:12:05The board won't like this.

00:12:06Four attendings dismissed in one day.

00:12:09Patient care will suffer.

00:12:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.

00:12:13I intend to wield it.

00:12:15Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.

00:12:18Your little scam artist situation ship.

00:12:22No, Preston.

00:12:23He means nothing to me.

00:12:24Really.

00:12:25I 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

00:12:33collecting unemployment checks?

00:12:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks,

00:12:39including yours?

00:12:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.

00:12:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded.

00:12:48Who's in charge around here?

00:12:58Hey, Dad. What's wrong?

00:13:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.

00:13:02She'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. What is it?

00:13:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.

00:13:16Dr. Marksman?

00:13:18Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired. Get out of my hospital.

00:13:22Christ.

00:13:24The resident I just fired?

00:13:26Preston? Are you there?

00:13:29Check the staff roster.

00:13:31See if we have another Marksman working for us here.

00:13:33I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.

00:13:38He's a 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.

00:13:48Ah, yes. I 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 who you mean, Dad?

00:14:11That's our man.

00:14:12There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.

00:14:15Negligent, lazy, you name it.

00:14:18Do me a favor, fire 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, alright?

00:14:36I got everything else under control.

00:14:38See?

00:14:46Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.

00:14:49Now, about your career trajectory.

00:14:53Mr. Bale, sir.

00:14:55Can't you see I'm busy?

00:14:57Multiple traumas incoming. The six-car pileup.

00:14:59You fired half our surgery team.

00:15:00What's your point?

00:15:01The ER is crashing.

00:15:03We've no one left who can handle it.

00:15:04Give me the situation.

00:15:12Now!

00:15:14Six critical traumas.

00:15:15Three more incoming.

00:15:17Multiple crush injuries.

00:15:18Arterial bleeds, sir.

00:15:20We're losing patients.

00:15:22What are our options?

00:15:24There might be one solution.

00:15:25Well, 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.

00:15:33That's the men we need.

00:15:34Fiona, call him.

00:15:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?

00:15:37The genius surgeon.

00:15:38The one I didn't fire.

00:15:39Keep up!

00:15:45What the hell?

00:15:47Where'd all this stuff go?

00:15:57The idiot left us research notes.

00:16:06Mmm.

00:16:07Modified trauma protocol.

00:16:10Wait.

00:16:12These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:16:16Oh, this is brilliant work.

00:16:22Hello?

00:16:23Dr. 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.

00:16:35With Adrian's techniques, I'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?

00:16:51Dr. Marksman's on his way.

00:16:52Thank God.

00:16:56Dr. Marksman.

00:16:57No.

00:16:58Dr. Marksman.

00:16:59Dr. Marksman.

00:17:00No.

00:17:01About your loyalty.

00:17:03Dr. Marksman.

00:17:04Adrian meant nothing.

00:17:05Dr. Marksman.

00:17:06I was using him to advance my career.

00:17:07Dr. Marksman.

00:17:08He had my future.

00:17:09Dr. Marksman.

00:17:10That's my girl.

00:17:11Dr. Marksman.

00:17:12That's my girl.

00:17:21Beyond a shift in it an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.

00:17:27To hell with this. I'm going out.

00:17:42Piece of shit!

00:17:48Get your hand off my girl!

00:17:52Just knock it off, Adrian!

00:17:54You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?

00:17:59You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent Nepo baby?

00:18:03I can choose who I want. And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.

00:18:07You pathetic loser.

00:18:12We're done, Adrian. Ancient history.

00:18:28Are you serious? Just like that.

00:18:32Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.

00:18:37Why are you doing this, Fiona? Am I just a stepping stone to you?

00:18:41I need someone with a future. Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying!

00:18:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny. It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.

00:18:55Look at us, Adrian. I'm the future of Vail Hospital. And you?

00:19:07You're just a slacker. And scrubs.

00:19:10You're washed up, Marksman.

00:19:12Or perhaps try nursing. I hear they're always hiring.

00:19:16Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.

00:19:20I thought we could build a family together.

00:19:23Get over yourself.

00:19:25You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?

00:19:29President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.

00:19:36We're done.

00:19:37I'm not done.

00:19:38But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.

00:19:44You can count on that.

00:19:49No, no, no. Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.

00:19:51Your troubles are just getting started.

00:19:53He'll authorize you to be here.

00:19:59Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,

00:20:03we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident.

00:20:07And the situation is completely under control.

00:20:09You're Dr. Marksman.

00:20:11Ah, yes. The very same.

00:20:13My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.

00:20:17Harvard Medical, was it?

00:20:19These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.

00:20:25As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.

00:20:30Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.

00:20:35He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.

00:20:39Clear-cut medical malfeasance.

00:20:49Dr. Hart.

00:20:51Incredible news.

00:20:53Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,

00:20:57he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.

00:21:00When?

00:21:01Less than an hour ago.

00:21:03Dismissed by President Vail's son.

00:21:07Amazing.

00:21:09I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his Price surgeon

00:21:14was fired by his submental son.

00:21:16With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.

00:21:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?

00:21:25I'll offer him whatever it takes.

00:21:27Full department autonomy.

00:21:30Research funding.

00:21:32State-of-the-art facilities.

00:21:34And if necessary, my personal involvement.

00:21:38His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.

00:21:42Have my car brought round.

00:21:45I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.

00:21:48And Adrian Marksman?

00:21:50He's leaving with me.

00:21:51Malfizitz.

00:21:52What kind of delusional accusation is that?

00:21:53Don't insult our intelligence.

00:21:54A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.

00:21:55The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.

00:21:56Yet you stand there denying it.

00:21:57This is crazy.

00:21:59You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.

00:22:00And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,

00:22:04you blame me?

00:22:05The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.

00:22:10If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.

00:22:14I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.

00:22:35Security, please detain him.

00:22:44What exactly are you accusing me of?

00:22:46Either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.

00:22:54Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.

00:22:58What other medical atrocities have you committed?

00:23:01You better confess now or we'll do everything in our power to make sure you lose your medical license.

00:23:07Fine. Go ahead. Do your worst.

00:23:11Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.

00:23:16You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?

00:23:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vale here can end your entire career with one phone call?

00:23:26Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.

00:23:29After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.

00:23:32Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.

00:23:35Not after what he did to our patients.

00:23:37I'm contacting the medical board right now.

00:23:42As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vale Hospital and every medical institute in the country.

00:23:48Plans in motion, Adrian.

00:23:50Do you know what that means?

00:23:52It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.

00:23:58I have one question before I go.

00:24:01Does your father know you fired me?

00:24:03My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.

00:24:09You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?

00:24:14Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.

00:24:17Immediately.

00:24:18Yes, doctor.

00:24:19Right away, sir.

00:24:23That's quite enough.

00:24:24Yes.

00:24:33Let him go.

00:24:38Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Hart Medical Center.

00:24:47I know you.

00:24:49You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.

00:24:53That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vale.

00:24:57Well, Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.

00:25:03What are you doing here?

00:25:04Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.

00:25:09Wait.

00:25:10Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?

00:25:14He was sleeping during rounds.

00:25:16Is this how Vale Hospital discards its exceptional talent?

00:25:19Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.

00:25:28Dr. Hart, with all due respect...

00:25:31This is a conversation between medical directors.

00:25:33Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.

00:25:37Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.

00:25:42He compromised patient safety and...

00:25:45I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr....

00:25:48Marksman. David Marksman.

00:25:50I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.

00:25:55After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.

00:26:00His negligence led to the problem.

00:26:03His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.

00:26:08Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?

00:26:13Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?

00:26:18Of course I consulted my father.

00:26:21He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.

00:26:27Dangerous shortcuts?

00:26:29Is that what President Vale really said?

00:26:32His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.

00:26:36President Vale was the one that recruited me.

00:26:37This makes absolutely no sense.

00:26:39Please, Adrian, the President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.

00:26:45Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.

00:26:50Well, if that's the way things work at Vale, I have nothing more to contribute.

00:26:54To any of you.

00:26:55Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:27:00Well, I've...

00:27:03Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name, and

00:27:09a seven-figure salary package.

00:27:30And Cash.

00:27:44Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.

00:27:49Hopefully this shows you.

00:27:51I mean what I say.

00:27:52Dr. Marksman, Chief of Surgery?

00:28:02You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?

00:28:07Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment, or are you on drugs?

00:28:12This is absurd.

00:28:14He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vale.

00:28:16And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?

00:28:20Dr. Marksman, the medical board should review your hiring practices.

00:28:27Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.

00:28:31This isn't about money.

00:28:33Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.

00:28:38She's offering herself up to him.

00:28:40She can't do that.

00:28:42Are you a doctor or a call girl?

00:28:45At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.

00:28:50Including, a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.

00:28:55And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.

00:29:00Dr. Hart.

00:29:01For the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.

00:29:10My father confirmed it himself.

00:29:12Is that precisely what Nelson Vale told you?

00:29:15His exact words.

00:29:18Negligence, surge?

00:29:19What are those?

00:29:23Personal gifts from your father?

00:29:27My fellowship offer?

00:29:30My personal research lab?

00:29:32My surgical team?

00:29:33I'm leaving it all behind.

00:29:37You can tell President Vale that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vale Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.

00:29:46You know what?

00:29:47Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.

00:29:49You never deserve those privileges in the first place.

00:29:52The medical board is going to see that justice is done.

00:29:55Oh, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.

00:30:01You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.

00:30:05This man is a life-saving artist.

00:30:08Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vale Hospital.

00:30:17Yeah, look, I'll be real.

00:30:19We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.

00:30:21Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.

00:30:24Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.

00:30:30Look at yourself, Adrian.

00:30:32Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.

00:30:35How pathetically desperate.

00:30:36Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.

00:30:44How dare you talk to me like that!

00:30:46Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.

00:30:53As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.

00:30:59And with an explanation to every affected Vale Hospital patient.

00:31:03Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.

00:31:10That accusation isn't just basis.

00:31:12It's absurd.

00:31:14What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?

00:31:16You've got no choice but to sign this confession.

00:31:19Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.

00:31:21If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.

00:31:27We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.

00:31:32If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.

00:31:39Let's go.

00:31:41One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.

00:31:44Mr. Vale, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.

00:31:59David, you've proven your loyalty.

00:32:02The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.

00:32:05This is, this is extraordinary.

00:32:09I, thank you.

00:32:10I, uh, I, I am honored beyond words.

00:32:15Don't forget about me, Preston.

00:32:18Don't worry, babe.

00:32:19You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.

00:32:24How exciting.

00:32:26Mr. Vale, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.

00:32:31Mr. Vale, a commuter train derailed.

00:32:34Six critical patients incoming.

00:32:36Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.

00:32:38Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:40Shit, I'm screwed.

00:32:41Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.

00:32:46If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.

00:32:50I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.

00:32:56These techniques are revolutionary.

00:32:58I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.

00:33:01It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.

00:33:03You've obviously got your own methodology.

00:33:06No need to bore me with the specifics.

00:33:08I trust your brilliance.

00:33:09Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:33:11With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.

00:33:15Hospital expansion.

00:33:18Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.

00:33:20Behold, Vale Hospital's new chief of surgery.

00:33:30Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.

00:33:37Glad you're feeling better, honey.

00:33:39Yeah.

00:33:40Oh, sorry.

00:33:42Who's this?

00:33:46Nelson Vale speaking.

00:33:47President Vale.

00:33:49Dr. Vivian Hart here.

00:33:50I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,

00:33:54Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.

00:33:58Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vale Hospital's domain.

00:34:03Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?

00:34:06This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.

00:34:10Now, just...

00:34:11What is that conniving bitch plotting?

00:34:19She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.

00:34:23Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?

00:34:28Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.

00:34:40Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.

00:34:43Dad, relax.

00:34:45I fired the other one.

00:34:46That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.

00:34:49Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.

00:34:56Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.

00:35:01It's not a way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.

00:35:06I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.

00:35:10But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.

00:35:13So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?

00:35:17She thinks she's hired the genius behind Vale Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.

00:35:22That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.

00:35:24Impressive, son.

00:35:26You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.

00:35:29I've been waiting to see out of you.

00:35:31I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.

00:35:37Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.

00:35:41We'll get to work immediately.

00:35:42We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.

00:35:50Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.

00:35:54I won't let you down.

00:35:57Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vale.

00:36:01Preston only got his MBA last year.

00:36:03Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?

00:36:07I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.

00:36:13Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.

00:36:18You mean the surgeon that saved my life?

00:36:20Dr. Adrian Marksman.

00:36:22Exactly.

00:36:23And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.

00:36:31As long as Adrian is with Vale Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.

00:36:39Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.

00:36:49All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.

00:36:56So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?

00:37:08It's not bad.

00:37:10It's a small team, but they're talented.

00:37:12What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.

00:37:17It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.

00:37:21You too.

00:37:23We need to expand.

00:37:24And it's too small for what I'm planning.

00:37:28Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.

00:37:37We have all the angles figured out, don't you?

00:37:40And I always find the best one.

00:37:50I'm going to start recruiting.

00:37:53Good.

00:37:54The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.

00:38:12This better be good.

00:38:15Mr. Vale, you wanted to see me?

00:38:18My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.

00:38:27Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.

00:38:32Mr. Vale, I, uh...

00:38:34Is there an issue with that?

00:38:36No, absolutely not.

00:38:38The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vale has already handed control to his son?

00:38:44If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.

00:38:50Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.

00:38:54I am precisely the right man for the job.

00:38:56Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.

00:39:01Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignations simultaneously.

00:39:04The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.

00:39:06What?

00:39:07They both resigned at once?

00:39:08What was their explanation?

00:39:09They refused to disclose their reasons.

00:39:11But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician.

00:39:13Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.

00:39:16Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.

00:39:21Preston, what's our contingency plan?

00:39:23The surgical department is severely understaffed.

00:39:26If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.

00:39:28Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.

00:39:32You still have me.

00:39:34I can rebuild this department.

00:39:36Ah, yes.

00:39:38With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.

00:39:41Exactly.

00:39:42So we lost some second-rate talent.

00:39:45Let him go.

00:39:46I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.

00:39:52Good work, Marksman.

00:39:57This is working out perfectly.

00:39:59Now I can install my own allies in key positions.

00:40:02Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.

00:40:16It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.

00:40:30This is Dr. Parker here.

00:40:36He's a triple board certified surgeon.

00:40:38And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.

00:40:41This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.

00:40:45All consummate professionals.

00:40:47My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.

00:40:52With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.

00:40:58Actually, the whole world.

00:41:00We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.

00:41:03Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.

00:41:06I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.

00:41:14We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.

00:41:19Have no fear, Dr. Hart.

00:41:21With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.

00:41:26Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.

00:41:32Yeah, about that.

00:41:34It's a preliminary version.

00:41:35If they continue to develop this approach without modification...

00:41:38Then what?

00:41:39A lot of deaths.

00:41:40A lot of lawsuits.

00:41:42A lot of patients could be harmed.

00:41:44Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.

00:41:49Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.

00:41:54Without that foundation...

00:41:56We're talking about serious complications.

00:41:59Preventable harm.

00:42:00Our first priority has to be patient safety.

00:42:03We need to perfect these procedures.

00:42:05And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.

00:42:10Exactly. It's not about competition or pride.

00:42:13It's about saving lives.

00:42:14We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.

00:42:27Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.

00:42:37And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.

00:42:44I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.

00:42:47Remember this moment.

00:42:48In this battle for medical supremacy, Hart Medical Center will emerge victorious.

00:42:53It's 3 a.m.

00:43:02I lost track of time again.

00:43:09Viv, you surprised me.

00:43:13Looks like you could use a nice rub.

00:43:16Do you mind?

00:43:18No.

00:43:20I mean, yeah.

00:43:22What do you give all your surgeons massages?

00:43:26Only the ones I really, really like.

00:43:33You really, really like me?

00:43:36Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.

00:43:40Nothing's changed.

00:43:40You were our most brilliant resident in the program.

00:43:45I never imagined someone like you would like me.

00:43:47There was never anyone else that got my attention.

00:43:51Only you.

00:43:54But you were completely oblivious.

00:43:56And then you just vanished from the program.

00:44:00Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.

00:44:04I know.

00:44:07Your talent was extraordinary even then.

00:44:09Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.

00:44:15You know, when I established Hart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.

00:44:21But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.

00:44:30I understand now.

00:44:31So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?

00:44:44We're the boss.

00:44:46That's right.

00:44:48And as your boss, I say, come home with me.

00:44:52Tonight?

00:44:52You lost everything when Preston fired you.

00:44:56Hospital privileges.

00:44:58Research funding.

00:45:00Even your hospital-subsidized apartment.

00:45:05You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.

00:45:09Come with me.

00:45:12Where?

00:45:14My place.

00:45:15All right.

00:45:24I'll admit it.

00:45:26That was the best meal I've had in months.

00:45:28Careful, Dr. Marksman.

00:45:30I might start thinking you're easy to please.

00:45:33That just depends on the company.

00:45:35Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.

00:45:40Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.

00:45:43Are you sure about that?

00:45:45We already work late hours.

00:45:48Living together could get complicated.

00:45:52Well, I like complicated.

00:45:54Keeps things interesting.

00:45:57And where exactly will I be sleeping?

00:46:00Well, my master suite has a California king.

00:46:11Plenty of room.

00:46:13If things ever need to get more collaborative.

00:46:19Really?

00:46:21Relax.

00:46:22I'm only teasing.

00:46:24Tonight, at least.

00:46:27Come on.

00:46:30I'll show you your room.

00:46:34Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.

00:46:36Than mine.

00:46:37Things could get dangerous.

00:46:50Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?

00:46:56You are completely worthless as surgeons.

00:46:59Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.

00:47:05We need at least six months to properly master.

00:47:09Six months?

00:47:10You have 72 hours.

00:47:12And I expect hourly updates on my desk.

00:47:15Sir, brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.

00:47:21Three days.

00:47:22Then you don't get one hour more.

00:47:25Go.

00:47:26Go.

00:47:29Report, Dr. Marksman.

00:47:31What's our status?

00:47:33Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.

00:47:35We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.

00:47:39That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

00:47:41I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.

00:47:43Cruston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.

00:47:53Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.

00:47:55Outstanding.

00:47:56When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.

00:48:00Your father must be so proud of you.

00:48:03Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:48:05I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.

00:48:08This is my shot.

00:48:10Why settle for chief of surgery?

00:48:12With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.

00:48:16Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.

00:48:26I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.

00:48:33If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.

00:48:38Truly, that's...

00:48:40I am profoundly grateful, sir.

00:48:44You're finally awake.

00:49:08You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.

00:49:11All right.

00:49:12Ooh, breakfast.

00:49:13Looks good.

00:49:18When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.

00:49:22Sound good?

00:49:23Yes.

00:49:24Absolutely.

00:49:25Good.

00:49:27Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.

00:49:35Extra special.

00:49:36Extra special.

00:49:43Okay, team, we're approaching a critical phase of our program development.

00:49:48We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.

00:49:53So, let's get to it.

00:49:54Let's start revolutionizing medicine.

00:49:56I have excellent news for all of you.

00:49:59I've just finalized arrangements with the board.

00:50:01And upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.

00:50:12And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.

00:50:25At a heart medical center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.

00:50:35Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.

00:50:42Absolutely.

00:50:43You'll be seeing progress ASAP.

00:50:46Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.

00:50:48With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.

00:50:50Hart is best!

00:50:51Hart is best!

00:50:53Hart is best!

00:50:54Hart is best!

00:50:55Good.

00:50:57We're running wild hearts on fire.

00:51:01Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

00:51:03We're chasing dreams and climbing higher.

00:51:08Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

00:51:10Can't always clap, ready to stay.

00:51:13Can't always clap, we're moving on the way.

00:51:27You always this disciplined?

00:51:30Or are you just trying to impress me?

00:51:33If I was trying to impress you, you'd even know.

00:51:36Midnight meetings.

00:51:39Long hours.

00:51:41This work ethic of yours.

00:51:44It's a little dangerous.

00:51:49That's what Val used to say about me.

00:51:52Then they fired me.

00:51:53Then they were fools.

00:51:59You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.

00:52:03You know that, right?

00:52:09You trying to motivate me again?

00:52:11I don't try.

00:52:16I do.

00:52:16Well, don't work too late.

00:52:25You're no good to me, burnt out.

00:52:35The incompetence is staggering.

00:52:40Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.

00:52:42Do you really think that this is acceptable?

00:52:47I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.

00:52:50How the hell did either of you even finish residency?

00:52:54Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,

00:52:58and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.

00:53:01If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow,

00:53:04you're both gone.

00:53:04Is that clear?

00:53:07Yes, sir.

00:53:08This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?

00:53:13Go.

00:53:20Oh, Mr. Vail.

00:53:21What a surprise.

00:53:23Cut the bullshit, Marksman.

00:53:26Are we on schedule or not?

00:53:27Of course.

00:53:29We're just refining the final stages.

00:53:33Yeah, everything is under control.

00:53:35Good.

00:53:37But it's a problem.

00:53:37I expect to hear it from you.

00:53:38No cover-ups.

00:53:39Of course, sir.

00:53:43Mr. Vail.

00:53:44Not now.

00:53:45Go get me the latest performance reports.

00:53:50It, uh...

00:53:52Looks like Preston's growing a little cold

00:53:55on our lovely administrator here.

00:53:57Don't worry.

00:53:58When Preston makes me chief medical officer,

00:54:00I'm gonna need someone

00:54:02flexible in my corner.

00:54:05I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.

00:54:14Today, Vail Hospital officially launched

00:54:16its highly anticipated

00:54:17next-generation surgical program.

00:54:20This cutting-edge approach to surgical care

00:54:22is being closely watched

00:54:24by the medical industry,

00:54:26especially as Heart Medical's

00:54:27competing program was released

00:54:29on the same day.

00:54:31The question now is,

00:54:32who will define the future

00:54:33of surgery?

00:54:35Relax, Mr. Vail.

00:54:37Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.

00:54:40I hope you're right.

00:54:42For your sake.

00:54:46Didn't you say that, uh,

00:54:48if the rollout went well

00:54:49that you'd make me

00:54:50chief medical officer?

00:54:52It's not a success

00:54:54yet.

00:54:57Enjoy tonight's launch party,

00:54:59because if our results

00:55:00don't outshine Heart Medical,

00:55:02it'll be the last thing

00:55:02you have to celebrate

00:55:03for a long time.

00:55:16Dr. Hurt,

00:55:17we, uh,

00:55:17have a problem.

00:55:18Vail Hospital's new

00:55:21surgical program

00:55:22launches today.

00:55:23That's soon?

00:55:24They're hosting

00:55:25a big celebration party

00:55:27tonight.

00:55:29It's a good thing

00:55:30we're ahead of...

00:55:32You're saying we're ready?

00:55:35Why would I lie?

00:55:36We've been tracking

00:55:37Vail's every move.

00:55:39Let him celebrate.

00:55:40It's just gonna backfire.

00:55:42How exactly does that

00:55:43work in our favor?

00:55:45Viv, do you remember

00:55:46what I told you

00:55:47when you first brought me here?

00:55:48Preston Vail's

00:55:51rushing this.

00:55:52He's desperate to beat us

00:55:53to the market.

00:55:54And?

00:55:54Their model's flawed.

00:55:56If they keep moving forward

00:55:58without realizing

00:55:58their structural failure

00:55:59and their approach,

00:56:01we won't have to lift

00:56:03a damn finger.

00:56:04And what about

00:56:04when it falls apart?

00:56:06Then Heart Medical

00:56:06takes over

00:56:07as the future

00:56:08of modern surgery.

00:56:10So you're saying

00:56:11that Vail Hospital

00:56:12has been refining

00:56:13the prototype surgical method

00:56:14that you designed?

00:56:15It's the only way

00:56:16they could have gotten

00:56:16this far,

00:56:17this fast.

00:56:18They're using

00:56:19an early draft

00:56:20full of mistakes

00:56:21that I won't make again.

00:56:23They don't even realize

00:56:24the cracks in their foundation.

00:56:26That actually

00:56:27makes perfect sense.

00:56:30Which means

00:56:31we've already won.

00:56:33Well, this is a big day for us.

00:56:35We should celebrate.

00:56:36What do you have in mind?

00:56:37Drinks?

00:56:38Not quite.

00:56:40You and I

00:56:40are crashing the Vail

00:56:41launch party

00:56:42tonight.

00:56:43What?

00:56:44Why?

00:56:45Let me worry about that.

00:56:47In the meantime,

00:56:48ensure a smooth rollout,

00:56:49finish whatever procedures

00:56:50you need to,

00:56:52and meet me in the lobby

00:56:53at 8 p.m. sharp.

00:56:54Preston,

00:57:09we've been through

00:57:10so much together.

00:57:12I know where I'm headed

00:57:13in life,

00:57:14and I know who I want

00:57:15by my side.

00:57:17Tonight,

00:57:17at this launch party,

00:57:19celebrating our

00:57:20groundbreaking

00:57:21surgical program,

00:57:22just make the perfect

00:57:24moment to ask,

00:57:26will you marry me?

00:57:32We should be fun.

00:57:36Absolutely.

00:57:38You really know

00:57:38how to take care

00:57:39of your staff,

00:57:40Mr. Vail?

00:57:41Stop it.

00:57:42Too bad you're taken.

00:57:43Yeah, yeah,

00:57:44what a shame.

00:57:45Where the fuck is Fiona?

00:57:47Told her meet me out here

00:57:48so we can go

00:57:48to this party together.

00:57:49Forget about her.

00:57:50She's just social

00:57:52climbing trash anyways.

00:57:53We'll show you

00:57:54a better time.

00:57:58Now that's an offer

00:57:59I can't refuse.

00:58:00Let's go.

00:58:00Fiona who?

00:58:04Oh, you ladies are crazy.

00:58:07Let me get to her.

00:58:13Let me get to her.

00:58:20The number you have dialed

00:58:30is unavailable.

00:58:31Please try again later.

00:58:32Please.

00:58:33It's twenty in one day.

00:58:59All clean, all stable.

00:59:01The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.

00:59:04You did it.

00:59:06No.

00:59:07We did it.

00:59:10Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party. Pronto.

00:59:14You're already late.

00:59:15I need to change that.

00:59:16You don't have time.

00:59:17Where's Vivian?

00:59:19Taking care of something.

00:59:21She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.

00:59:25Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.

00:59:30What the fuck?

00:59:31You're my date and you're wasted.

00:59:33I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.

00:59:34Yeah.

00:59:35God knows why I chose you, but I did.

00:59:36So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.

00:59:40What the fuck?

00:59:41You're my date and you're wasted.

00:59:42I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.

00:59:43Yeah.

00:59:44God knows why I chose you, but I did.

00:59:45So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.

00:59:59Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?

01:00:20It's giving orderly sheep.

01:00:27Maybe he's here to bust tables.

01:00:30What are you doing at our launch party?

01:00:32You weren't invited.

01:00:33You so sure about that?

01:00:34I mean, look at you.

01:00:35This is a black tie.

01:00:36I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.

01:00:41Look who crawled in from the gutter.

01:00:44The found surgeon.

01:00:46The fraud.

01:00:47The nobody.

01:00:49Show up to my party and dirty scrubs, Marksman?

01:00:52Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.

01:00:55Guess I need to fire them too.

01:00:57Pardon me.

01:00:58I just came straight from surgery.

01:01:00Because some of us here are real surgeons.

01:01:02What are you trying to say?

01:01:04I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.

01:01:10I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.

01:01:15I got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.

01:01:20The genius like him leading our surgical team?

01:01:23You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.

01:01:25Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.

01:01:27When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.

01:01:34What are you talking about?

01:01:37Identity theft?

01:01:38Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?

01:01:41Yours?

01:01:42Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.

01:01:45If you don't got it, at least act like you do.

01:01:48Speaking from experience.

01:01:50Look around you.

01:01:53This is the elite among the elite.

01:01:56The best of the best in the medical field.

01:01:58Just because you waltz in here and your dirty cheap scrubs doesn't make you one of us.

01:02:03Good.

01:02:04I'm glad.

01:02:05Because you're all beneath me.

01:02:07Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?

01:02:10That's enough.

01:02:11Guards!

01:02:13This former employee is threatening us.

01:02:15Kick him out.

01:02:17Touch me and you'll regret it.

01:02:19I'm here tonight with a very important guest.

01:02:24What are you dumbasses doing?

01:02:26Grab him!

01:02:41Trusted!

01:02:43What the hell is this?

01:02:45Dad.

01:02:46Relax.

01:02:47I, uh...

01:02:48Relax?

01:02:49This twat came in uninvited.

01:02:51I was just kicking him out.

01:02:52Guards!

01:02:53Remove him immediately.

01:02:54President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.

01:02:56You get out of my way!

01:02:59Dad, what are you doing?

01:03:00This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...

01:03:04You are such a fool!

01:03:08Dad!

01:03:09What are you doing?

01:03:11Open your eyes, Preston.

01:03:13This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...

01:03:16You are a...

01:03:17You are a...

01:03:19Disgraced!

01:03:20Dad!

01:03:22My hospital meant something and...

01:03:25You turned it into a...

01:03:27Into a...

01:03:29Dad!

01:03:34Dad!

01:03:35Oh...

01:03:37President Vale, fuck away from my dad!

01:03:39Are you out of your mind?

01:03:40Are you out of your mind?

01:03:41He is the best surgeon in this room!

01:03:42Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.

01:03:45I'll die before I trust you two.

01:03:47Somebody get me a real doctor!

01:03:48David!

01:03:49David!

01:03:50David!

01:03:51Do something!

01:03:52Code!

01:03:57Can't think of what to do next?

01:03:59Blanking?

01:04:00Can't think of a diagnosis?

01:04:01Shut up!

01:04:03Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?

01:04:05This is ridiculous!

01:04:06I thought this David guy was a genius.

01:04:09Why are you just standing there?

01:04:10Do something!

01:04:13What's the matter, David?

01:04:14If you need help, just ask.

01:04:17All you have to do is admit what you did.

01:04:19Right here.

01:04:20Right now.

01:04:22I can't blow my cover butt.

01:04:24What if I kill him?

01:04:27I don't know anything about surgeries.

01:04:29I don't even know what's wrong with them.

01:04:30I did medical school on Zoom.

01:04:33David, this is a matter of life and death.

01:04:37Let it go!

01:04:39I...

01:04:41I...

01:04:43I can't.

01:04:45I can't do this.

01:04:47Okay, I can't.

01:04:49I can't do this.

01:04:51I can't do this without my notebook.

01:04:54That's my surgical notebook.

01:04:57That's my surgical notebook.

01:04:59He stole it from me.

01:05:07Okay, okay.

01:05:09I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.

01:05:13Okay.

01:05:14Okay.

01:05:16Okay.

01:05:17I got it, I got it.

01:05:19Here, take it, take it, take it.

01:05:21Okay.

01:05:22Alright, hold his head.

01:05:23Good.

01:05:24Tilt it back and apply pressure here.

01:05:27Okay.

01:05:28Take it.

01:05:38Okay.

01:05:40Okay.

01:05:42Ready...

01:05:44Ready...

01:05:47No, no, no, no...

01:05:49Oh, thank God.

01:05:50Thank you

01:05:55Oh, that's my guy

01:05:57Surgical genius

01:05:59That's how Val makes history

01:06:02Somebody get this man a medal

01:06:04Or at least a new department

01:06:06If you still want that chief medical officer position

01:06:09Say the word

01:06:10Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?

01:06:15That maneuver

01:06:16That notebook

01:06:18It's mine

01:06:19Then tell them

01:06:20Where is he going?

01:06:25Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program

01:06:28At another fake hospital

01:06:29Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?

01:06:33Say, hey, why don't you come back

01:06:34When you've actually saved a life?

01:06:40That procedure David used

01:06:41I invented it

01:06:43What kind of crack are you smoking?

01:06:46He's delusional

01:06:47Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license

01:06:51The notebook he used to save your father

01:06:53That's mine

01:06:55My handwriting

01:06:56My theories

01:06:58You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't

01:07:02I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation

01:07:06And when it fails

01:07:08And it will

01:07:10You're not the ones that'll pay for it

01:07:13The patients will

01:07:15You can't prove that

01:07:16Not yet

01:07:17But you can't fake medicine

01:07:20Medicine and science

01:07:23Always tell the truth

01:07:25Our three's vitals has just dropped

01:07:29We've got uncontrolled bleeding

01:07:30Second patient today

01:07:32Same issue

01:07:32Vessel ligation failed mid-operation

01:07:35These techniques aren't viable

01:07:37The veil method doesn't hold under stress

01:07:39I mean, come on

01:07:41Tonight proves it

01:07:42We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country

01:07:45I'll be right back

01:07:55Just coordinating with the team

01:07:56Talk to me

01:08:00The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again

01:08:02This is the second patient bleeding out tonight

01:08:05Use the compression step

01:08:09That only works in controlled scenarios

01:08:11We told you these procedures were fully tested

01:08:14Look, just follow the notes

01:08:17I designed those techniques for 101 guidance

01:08:23Not mass implementation

01:08:25Without calibration

01:08:27It's unstable

01:08:29It's dangerous

01:08:30They tried to commercialize your success without you

01:08:33Now people are paying for it

01:08:35All good?

01:08:38Of course

01:08:39Just routine coordination

01:08:40Routine coordination doesn't usually include

01:08:44Blood loss

01:08:45Your surgical program is failing

01:08:46And patients are suffering

01:08:48You've been out of the field for months

01:08:50You wouldn't know?

01:08:51Yeah, I would know

01:08:52Because the procedures that you're butchering

01:08:55I invented

01:08:56And I'm the only one in this room

01:08:58Who can fix the mess that you made

01:08:59In your surgical wing

01:09:00Bullshit

01:09:02Oh yes, this is Dr. Marksman

01:09:09Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately

01:09:12Okay, listen very carefully

01:09:16Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging

01:09:20Because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed

01:09:24No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver

01:09:28With selective hepatic arterial ligation

01:09:31Followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis

01:09:34Using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures

01:09:38Yes

01:09:40Yes

01:09:42How do we even know he made a phone call?

01:09:47His whole thing is performance, a charade

01:09:49You stole his methods

01:09:51This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork

01:09:57Uh, that's a lie

01:09:58Then prove me wrong

01:09:59Show them all a technique that I didn't create

01:10:02Why would we believe anything he says?

01:10:08He was fired

01:10:08He humiliated

01:10:09You're right, I was fired

01:10:11And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary

01:10:16You know what? This is pathetic

01:10:19He's just jealous

01:10:20He missed his shot

01:10:21Is that what you told yourself?

01:10:24When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?

01:10:27Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place

01:10:31I think it's exactly the time and place

01:10:34I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator

01:10:48And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coating patients

01:10:55Adrian just cleaned up your mess

01:10:58You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready

01:11:01And you fired him

01:11:03The one person who could make them safe

01:11:06Dad, you don't see the full picture here

01:11:11Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well

01:11:13This hospital was built on trust and integrity

01:11:17And you've disgraced them both

01:11:19Your father nearly died because of your ego

01:11:23Because of his lies

01:11:25You saved me

01:11:28You saved Nelson

01:11:29And now you can save Vale

01:11:32I tried to warn you all

01:11:34No one listened

01:11:36They're listening now

01:11:37You deserve to be at Vale

01:11:40More than either of those two

01:11:43And probably even more than me

01:11:45It was a mistake to let you go

01:11:48Months ago I was fired from Vale Hospital

01:11:51With procedures still in development

01:11:53They weren't ready

01:11:55They needed supervision

01:11:56Precision

01:11:58Development

01:12:00Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory

01:12:04Oh, you can't prove that

01:12:06Security footage

01:12:08Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital

01:12:14Already submitted to the board

01:12:17I built on what he started

01:12:20Okay

01:12:21I didn't steal

01:12:23I enhanced it

01:12:25Then why were patients about to die?

01:12:28You falsified rollout readiness

01:12:31He did more than that

01:12:32He put lives at risk

01:12:34To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program

01:12:38We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this

01:12:42This is absurd

01:12:43This was supposed to be our night

01:12:45Oh, it's your night

01:12:47It's just not the way you thought it'd be

01:12:50You lied to me

01:12:51I didn't lie

01:12:53I simplified the truth

01:12:54Simplify?

01:12:56You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people

01:13:00You nearly killed the president of the hospital

01:13:03You passed off experimental procedures as launch ready

01:13:06That's malpractice

01:13:08They weren't

01:13:09Nelson's alive

01:13:11Look, the patients, they're alive

01:13:12Yeah, because of me

01:13:14Those methods require sequential tensioning

01:13:17Breath control

01:13:18Special clamp techniques

01:13:19Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death

01:13:22Wait, these really are your techniques?

01:13:25I tested them for years

01:13:26It was never meant for mass rollout

01:13:29Not without training

01:13:31You're rewriting history?

01:13:33No, you tried to erase him from it

01:13:36Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future

01:13:40And without him, it won't

01:13:43This is absurd!

01:13:45You're siding with this disgraced former resident?

01:13:48He's not disgraced, son

01:13:50You are

01:13:51You hijacked a program you didn't understand

01:13:55And then when your ego wasn't enough

01:13:57You propped up this fraud

01:14:01Taking his side, Dad?

01:14:04I'm your son

01:14:05I'm taking the side of truth

01:14:07And so will the board

01:14:09We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning

01:14:13Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties

01:14:18Suspended?

01:14:19Oh, no, no, you can't do that

01:14:20You don't understand the politics of running a hospital

01:14:22We understand the liability

01:14:24That's enough

01:14:25Mr. Preston Vale

01:14:28Dr. David Marksman

01:14:30Come with us

01:14:32Dad

01:14:33You're not going to let them drag me out like this

01:14:35I'm your son

01:14:36No

01:14:36Don't you touch me

01:14:37You're not a child

01:14:39Hey

01:14:39Dad

01:14:40You're not my responsibility

01:14:49Trim, please

01:14:57I made a mistake

01:14:58I see that now

01:14:59I should have believed in you

01:15:01I should have stood by you

01:15:03You were right about everything

01:15:05Just give me a second, Trim

01:15:10Please

01:15:11I still love you

01:15:14Love?

01:15:16You traded him the second someone flashier walked by

01:15:19You don't understand

01:15:21I thought he was finished

01:15:23I thought he had nothing left

01:15:26So you sold him out

01:15:27Mocked him

01:15:29Over and over again

01:15:31I was scared

01:15:32I didn't know what to do

01:15:35Oh, you knew

01:15:36Oh, you knew

01:15:36You just didn't care

01:15:37Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser

01:15:42Please

01:15:43Say something

01:15:45Anything

01:15:47You had your chance, Fiona

01:15:49And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive

01:15:54You always belonged in my operating room

01:16:04And I should have fought harder to keep you

01:16:07If I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes

01:16:11The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board

01:16:16And David will never go near another patient again

01:16:19We're rebuilding

01:16:21And I want you back

01:16:23As Vale's chief of experimental surgery

01:16:27I'm sorry, Dr. Vale

01:16:30You had your chance, too

01:16:33I'm not the same man that you fired

01:16:35Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale

01:16:39Adrian 2.0

01:16:41I'm not coming back

01:16:43You're choosing her?

01:16:47Our rival?

01:16:49You arrogant little ingrate

01:16:51I open the door for you and you slam it in my face

01:16:55Just typical

01:16:56Just when you had your moment

01:16:59You turned your back on it

01:17:01For, for what, her?

01:17:03She's just gonna use you up and toss you aside like everyone else

01:17:06Oh, projecting much, Nelson

01:17:09Get me out of here

01:17:11Now!

01:17:12Now!

01:17:14Do you?

01:17:17Oh!

01:17:21It's a...

01:17:22It's a...

01:17:23Ah!

01:17:24Ah!

01:17:25Ah!

01:17:26Karma has good timing

01:17:31Speaking of timing

01:17:35We should get back to work

01:17:36We have lives to save

01:17:38Hey!

01:17:40Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon

01:17:44I still owe you that extra special bonus

01:17:49Now?

01:17:51We'll just spend a time like the present

01:17:56This is what victory tastes like

01:18:03It's not bad

01:18:04I need a second opinion

01:18:06Well, I've got all night

01:18:10And you're not leaving this room

01:18:12Until I've properly celebrated

01:18:14My genius surgeon

01:18:16Should I be afraid of a performance review?

01:18:18You're already exceeding expectations

01:18:22But I am very thorough

01:18:25Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me

01:18:34Besides meeting you, of course

01:18:38Do you tell him that so tight?

01:18:40Should I see one?

01:18:40I'm curious

01:18:41You're probably not
