00:00:00The patient's crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:02The patient won't survive.
00:00:04Watch.
00:00:04Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a reliable trauma like this?
00:00:08This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:00:10What you just did will go down in the history box.
00:00:13Who is this guy?
00:00:14He's taking over as hospital administrator.
00:00:16New management, new standards.
00:00:18Sleeping after a shift?
00:00:20You are fired.
00:00:21I just worked all night.
00:00:22Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:00:24He's the one.
00:00:25Didn't I fire you too already?
00:00:27Get your hand off my gun off!
00:00:30We'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?
00:00:44These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:00:47With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:00:50I need to stand!
00:00:51Why are you just standing there?
00:00:52Do something!
00:00:53If you need help, just ask.
00:00:54All you have to do is know what you did.
00:00:57A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:01:07patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.
00:01:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team, their
00:01:15last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:01:19Facials crashing!
00:01:20We need an attending surgeon now!
00:01:22All the hours are full.
00:01:23We've got three more criticals incoming!
00:01:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:01:28I can't leave this one.
00:01:29Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:01:30We need another attending surgeon.
00:01:32Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:01:33Need a hand?
00:01:34A new hire.
00:01:35You just started this month.
00:01:40Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!
00:01:46The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:47Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:01:48Patient's yours.
00:01:49Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:53Whipple?
00:01:54Whipple?
00:01:55For trauma?
00:01:56That's insane.
00:01:57Trust me.
00:01:58Medicine bomb scissors?
00:01:59Dr. Rhodes, I need you to...
00:02:00You just started this month.
00:02:01Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!
00:02:02Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:02:03Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:02:04Patient's yours.
00:02:05Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:02:08Whipple?
00:02:09For trauma?
00:02:10That's insane.
00:02:11Trust me.
00:02:12Medicine bomb scissors?
00:02:14Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:02:17That procedure will take hours.
00:02:18The patient won't survive.
00:02:19Bovicottery?
00:02:32Watch.
00:02:35He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:02:38He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:02:41But waiting, it's under control.
00:02:44But how did he...
00:02:47Silk suture?
00:02:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:03:01I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:03Almost done.
00:03:08This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:03:24Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:03:27I 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. I heard President Vale personally recruited a medical prodigy who...
00:03:43Revolutionalized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:03:46Is that you?
00:03:48Final suture.
00:03:55Miss Vale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:04:03Doctor!
00:04:05The nurses...
00:04:07They said you did it.
00:04:09And you...
00:04:10You actually did.
00:04:11Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:04:16Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:04:21You...
00:04:23You saved my Catherine.
00:04:25She'll make a full recovery, President Vale.
00:04:27Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vale.
00:04:30My hospital.
00:04:35Look, 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, get some rest.
00:04:44I'll take over from here.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:48Good work, everyone.
00:04:49Good work, everyone.
00:05:19They're all stable.
00:05:22Every single one of them.
00:05:23Stabilized.
00:05:29Oh.
00:05:30Sun's coming up.
00:05:32You must have operated all night.
00:05:34You're a machine.
00:05:35Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:05:38Alright.
00:05:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:05:49Hey, you.
00:06:01Hey, yourself.
00:06:04I've been operating all night.
00:06:06I saved every single patient from that pilot.
00:06:09What I 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.
00:06:24Goldberry.
00:06:26Your favorite?
00:06:28You remembered.
00:06:30Where's your dad?
00:06:32You know, I've been thinking lately.
00:06:33About us.
00:06:36I know it's only been a month, but...
00:06:39It just feels different.
00:06:48It's the third time this week.
00:06:50Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:06:52Hmm.
00:06:54So who's this Marksman guy?
00:06:56His surgical skills are unreal.
00:06:58Sure. I thought he was just another new hire.
00:07:00I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:07:03With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:07:06What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:07:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:07:20Who is this guy?
00:07:24Preston Vale.
00:07:26Preston Vale's son.
00:07:27Harvard MBA.
00:07:28He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:07:34I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:07:42Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:07:46Sir, about last...
00:07:47Save it!
00:07:49Parker.
00:07:51You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:07:54You're fired.
00:07:56Clear out your office.
00:07:58New management means new standards.
00:08:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:08:03Ahem.
00:08:05Attention.
00:08:06And everybody's attention now.
00:08:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:08:14No complications.
00:08:16No deaths.
00:08:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:08:21Who does he think he is?
00:08:23Dr. House?
00:08:25What is this?
00:08:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:08:29Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:08:34This 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 and 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 just 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?
00:09:03That was good.
00:09:05Let's go.
00:09:06Well, well, well.
00:09:11What do we have here?
00:09:13Sleeping after a shift?
00:09:16Rise 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 are fired!
00:09:29Are you serious?
00:09:33You're firing me?
00:09:35Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:09:38Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:09:41Fiona, what's his position here?
00:09:43He's...
00:09:46a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:09:49What's he make?
00:09:51700,000.
00:09:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:09:55700?
00:09:56Are you insane?
00:09:57You'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?
00:10:16Either 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.
00:10:31These credentials...
00:10:33Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:10:36Fiona?
00:10:38Dr. Marksman.
00:10:41You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:10:44Fire.
00:10:46Clear out your office.
00:10:48Clear out your locker.
00:10:49Don't get the hell out of my hospital.
00:10:50This is a mistake, okay?
00:10:51You need to check the surgical lock.
00:10:52You don't get to wear that.
00:10:54I see.
00:10:55Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:56You don't understand.
00:10:57He's the one who...
00:10:58Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:59Beat it.
00:11:00Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:11:01Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:11:03I see.
00:11:04I see.
00:11:05Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:11:06You don't understand.
00:11:07He's the one who...
00:11:08Didn't I fire you two already?
00:11:09Beat it.
00:11:11Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:11:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:11:36I understand.
00:11:37I understand. Hospital politics, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:11:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift. I'll be waiting.
00:11:57You care to explain that little exchange?
00:12:00The board won't like this. Four attendings dismissed in one day. Patient care will suffer.
00:12:09Fear is a weapon, Fiona. I intend to wield it. Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular? Your little scam artist situationship?
00:12:20No, Preston. He means nothing to me. Really. I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:12:26Let's be clear about your future here. Do 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 who's in charge around here.
00:12:56Hey, Dad. What's wrong?
00:12:58Your mother's having a rough week of recovery. She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:13:05And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:13:08Of course. What is it?
00:13:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman? Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:13:15Dr. Marksman?
00:13:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired. Get out of my hospital.
00:13:21Oh, Christ. The resident I just fired?
00:13:25Preston? Are you there?
00:13:28Check the staff roster. See if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:13:34I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here. He's the surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:13:40And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program. The 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.
00:14:02Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:14:06Three times Apex award winner for clinical research. Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:14:09That's our man. There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:14:15Negligent, lazy, you name it. Do me a favor. Fire him.
00:14:20Already done, Dad. I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:14:24Thank God. Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:14:28Good work, son. I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:14:33Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right? I got everything else under control.
00:14:38See? Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless. Now, about your career trajectory.
00:14:52Mr. Vale, sir. Can't you see I'm busy?
00:14:55Multiple traumas incoming. The six-car pileup. You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:59What's your point?
00:15:00The ER is crashing. We have no one left who can handle it.
00:15:10Give me the situation. Now.
00:15:12Six critical traumas. Three more incoming. Multiple crush injuries. Arterial bleed, sir.
00:15:18We're losing patients.
00:15:20What are our options?
00:15:21There might be one solution.
00:15:23Well, spit it out.
00:15:25Dr. Marksman.
00:15:26He handled four critical traumas alone last night. If we can get him back here.
00:15:30Marksman.
00:15:31Right. That's the man we need. Fiona, call him.
00:15:34Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:15:36The genius surgeon. The one I didn't fire. Keep up.
00:15:44What the hell? Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:53The idiot left us research notes.
00:16:05Mmm. Modified trauma protocol.
00:16:09Wait.
00:16:11These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:16:15Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:16:21Hello?
00:16:22Dr. Marksman.
00:16:23Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:16:25Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:16:30I'm on my way.
00:16:35With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:16:38They'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.
00:16:51Thank God.
00:17:02Now, about your loyalty.
00:17:05Adrian meant nothing.
00:17:07I was using him to advance my career.
00:17:10You're my future.
00:17:11That's my girl.
00:17:12Beyond a shift in it an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:17:26To hell with this. I'm going up.
00:17:28I'm going up.
00:17:43Piece of shit!
00:17:44Get your hand off my girl.
00:17:48Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:17:49You 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?
00:18:02I can choose who I want.
00:18:04And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:18:07You pathetic loser.
00:18:08We're done, Adrian.
00:18:09Ancient history.
00:18:10Are you serious?
00:18:11Just like that.
00:18:13Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:18:24Why are you doing this, Fiona? Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:18:27Are you serious?
00:18:29Just like that.
00:18:31Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, Stan.
00:18:37Why 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.
00:18:49Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:18:52It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:18:57Oh!
00:18:59Look at us, Adrian.
00:19:01I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:19:03And you?
00:19:07Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:19:09You're washed up, Marksman.
00:19:11Perhaps try nursing?
00:19:13I hear they're always hiring.
00:19:15Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
00:19:19I thought we could build a family together.
00:19:23Get over yourself.
00:19:25You think I'm gonna stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:19:29President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:19:35We're done.
00:19:37I'm not done.
00:19:39But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:19:43You can count on that.
00:19:45No, no, no.
00:19:49Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:19:51Your troubles are just getting started.
00:19:53Who authorized you to be here?
00:19:55Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident.
00:20:05And the situation is completely under control.
00:20:07You're Dr. Marksman.
00:20:09Ah yes, the very same.
00:20:11My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:20:15Harvard Medical, was it?
00:20:17These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:20:23As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:20:28Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:20:33He was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table.
00:20:38Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:20:48Dr. Hart.
00:20:50Incredible news.
00:20:51Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:21:00When?
00:21:01Dr. Adrian Marksman was a physician an hour ago.
00:21:02Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:21:05Huh, amazing.
00:21:07I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his Price Surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:21:16With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation?
00:21:20Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:21:24Dr. Adrian Marksman, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:21:27Full department of autonomy.
00:21:29research funding state-of-the-art facilities and if necessary my personal involvement
00:21:38his techniques could revolutionize surgical care have my car brought round i'm going to
00:21:46bale hospital personally and adrian marksman he's leaving with me
00:21:51now feasants what kind of delusional accusation is that oh don't insult our intelligence a patient
00:22:03coded while you were off taking a nap the timing couldn't possibly be coincidental yet you stand
00:22:08there denying it this is crazy you've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon and when a
00:22:13complication occurs which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership
00:22:18you blame me the collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad
00:22:26if you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be you would still have a job
00:22:32i'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of mr vale security please detain him
00:22:43what exactly are you accusing me of either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to

00:25:01four or five years ago what are you doing here well i'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the
00:25:07country of course wait are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value
00:25:13he was sleeping during rounds is this how vale hospital discards its exceptional talent
00:25:19your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence not petty politics
00:25:26dr hart with all due respect this is a conversation between medical directors
00:25:33someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence
00:25:36dr hart i must inform you that dr marksman represents a serious liability
00:25:41he compromised patient safety and i don't believe i requested your medical opinion
00:25:47dr marksman david marksman i have neither time nor interest in your assessment
00:25:53after he decided to go to sleep we had a critical surgical complication
00:25:59his negligence led to the problem his actions not only endangered patients it compromised my hospital's reputation
00:26:07are you really willing to defend someone who violates the hippocratic oath
00:26:13did you actually consult with your father before dismissing dr marksman
00:26:17of course i consulted my father
00:26:19he's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:26:25and inflated reputation dangerous shortcuts
00:26:28is that what president vale really said his exact words were remove him at first opportunity
00:26:35president vale was the one that recruited me this makes absolutely no sense
00:26:39please adrian the president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you
00:26:44those gala invitations were professional courtesy
00:26:47not genuine respect
00:26:50well if that's the way things work at vale i have nothing more to contribute
00:26:53to any of you
00:26:54dr marksman would you consider joining heart medical center as our chief of surgery
00:27:00well i've
00:27:03full department autonomy
00:27:04protected research time
00:27:06a surgical fellowship in your name
00:27:08and a seven figure salary package
00:27:12and a team of doctors
00:27:16and a member of the research
00:27:16well i've seen this was a great last week
00:27:17i'm really glad to have done this
00:27:17i'll see you next week
00:27:18and have you done this
00:27:18well i've seen it
00:27:36well i'm at the top of my verse
00:27:37And Cash, Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:27:49Hopefully this shows you.
00:27:51I mean what I say.
00:27:59Chief 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 Vail.
00:28:16And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:28:22Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:28:26Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:28:31This isn't about money.
00:28:32Maybe 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.
00:28:57Dr. Hart, for 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 Bale told you?
00:29:15His exact words.
00:29:18Negligence, Serge.
00:29:19What are those?
00:29:20Personal 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 Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail 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.
00:29:56Oh.
00:29:56Your stupidity.
00:29:58It's just astonishing.
00:30:01You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:30:05This man is a life-saving artist.
00:30:11Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:30:16Yeah, 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.
00:30:28Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:30:32Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:30:35How pathetically desperate.
00:30:37Oh.
00:30:37A 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!
00:30:47Your 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 Vail Hospital patient.
00:31:05Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:31:10That accusation isn't just baseness.
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.
00:31:18Oh, 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.
00:31:48Mr. Vail, 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.
00:32:06This is extraordinary.
00:32:10I am honored beyond words.
00:32:15Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:32:16Don't worry, babe.
00:32:19You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:32:24How exciting.
00:32:26Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:32:32Mr. Vail, 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.
00:32:41I'm screwed.
00:32:41Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:32:45If 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.
00:33:07I 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.
00:33:27Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:33:30Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:33:33Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40Well, sorry.
00:33:42Who's this?
00:33:46Nelson Vail speaking.
00:33:47President Vail.
00:33:48Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:33:50I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:57Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail 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...
00:34:13What 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?
00:34:33Unless...
00:34:33Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:34:40Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:34:43Dad, relax.
00:34:45Fire 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.
00:35:02There's no 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.
00:35:14So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:35:16She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail 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.
00:35:28I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:35:30I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:35:37Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
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.
00:35:56Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
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 Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:36:40Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:36:48What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:37:02So, 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.
00:37:15It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:37:21You too.
00:37:23We need to expand.
00:37:25It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:37:28Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:37:37We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:37:40And I always find the best one.
00:37:45I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:53Good.
00:37:55The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:38:00This better be good.
00:38:15Mr. Vail, 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. Vail, I, uh...
00:38:34Is there an issue with that?
00:38:35No, absolutely not.
00:38:38The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:38:41And President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:38:45If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:38:51Mr. Vail, 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 resignation 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 Vail physician.
00:39:14Along 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, and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:40:40This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:40:45All consummate professionals.
00:40:47My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:40:49This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Dr. Rose, and Dr. Hart.
00:40:53With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:59Actually, the whole world.
00:41:00We're ready 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.
00:41:13We 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?
00:41:38A lot of deaths, a lot of lawsuits, a lot of patients could be harmed.
00:41:44Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:41:50Those 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.
00:42:02We need to perfect these procedures.
00:42:04And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:42:10Exactly.
00:42:10It'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,
00:42:23eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:42:28Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:42:33we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:42:36And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:42:43I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:42:47Remember this moment.
00:42:48In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:43:00It's 3 a.m.
00:43:02Lost track of time again.
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:06Viv, 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.
00:43:22Will 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.
00:43:39Nothing's changed.
00:43:42You 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.
00:43:55And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:59Well, I left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in Switzerland.
00:44:03I know.
00:44:04I know.
00:44:07Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:44:10Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:44:14You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:44:20But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Bale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:44:29I understand now.
00:44:31So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:44:44You're the boss.
00:44:45That's right.
00:44:46And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:44:51Tonight?
00:44:52You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:55Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital subsidized apartment.
00:45:02You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:45:09Come with me.
00:45:12Where?
00:45:13My place.
00:45:23All right.
00:45:24I'll admit it.
00:45:25That 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.
00:45:39Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:45:43Are you sure about that?
00:45:45We already work late hours.
00:45:47Living together could get complicated.
00:45:51Well, I like complicated.
00:45:54Keeps things interesting.
00:45:56And 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.
00:46:36And mine.
00:46:37Things could get dangerous.
00:46:50Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:57You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:59Dr. Marksman.
00:47:00The 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.
00:47:14Sir, 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.
00:47:30Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:31What's our status?
00:47:33Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:47:34We 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.
00:47:49Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:47:52Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:47:55Outstanding.
00:47:56When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:48:01Your 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.
00:48:09This is my shot.
00:48:11Why 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.
00:48:34If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:48:38Truly, that's...
00:48:41I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:49:02You're finally awake.
00:49:08You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:49:10All right.
00:49:12Ooh, breakfast.
00:49:13Looks good.
00:49:18When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:49:21Sound 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.
00:49:40Okay, team.
00:49:45We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:49:49We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.
00:49:53So, let's get to it.
00:49:55Start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:57I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:59I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations,
00:50:06each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:50:13And, when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification,
00:50:19every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:50:24At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:50:35Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:50:41Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:50:46Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:50:48With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:50:50Heart is best!
00:50:52Heart is best!
00:50:54Heart is best!

00:51:26Heart is best!
00:51:27Are you always this disciplined?
00:51:30Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:51:33If I was trying to impress you, you 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.
00:51:53And 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.
00:52:19Well, don't work too late.
00:52:23You'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.
00:53:05Is that clear?
00:53:06Yes, 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.
00:53:26We're 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.
00:53:36But there'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.
00:53:47It, uh, looks 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,
00:54:01I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:54:05I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:54:14Today, Vail Hospital officially launched.
00:54:16It's highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:54:20This cutting-edge approach to surgical care
00:54:22is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:54:26especially as Heart Medical's competing program
00:54:28was released on the same day.
00:54:31The question now is,
00:54:32who will define the future of 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.
00:54:44Didn't you say that, uh,
00:54:48if the rollout went well,
00:54:49that you'd make me chief 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 don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:55:02it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:55:03for a long time.
00:55:04Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:55:20Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:55:23That soon?
00:55:24They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:55:27It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:55:31You're saying we're ready?
00:55:35Why would I lie?
00:55:36We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:55:39Let him celebrate.
00:55:40It's just gonna backfire.
00:55:42How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:55:44Vail, do you remember what I told you
00:55:47when you first brought me here?
00:55:50Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:55:52He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:54And?
00:55:54Their model's flawed.
00:55:56If they keep moving forward
00:55:58without realizing their structural failure
00:55:59and their approach,
00:56:01we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:56:04And what about when it falls apart?
00:56:06Then Heart Medical takes over
00:56:07as the future of modern surgery.
00:56:08So you're saying that Vail Hospital
00:56:12has been refining the prototype surgical method
00:56:14that you designed?
00:56:15It's the only way they could have gotten
00:56:16this far this fast.
00:56:18They're using an early draft
00:56:20full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:56:23They don't even realize
00:56:24the cracks in their foundation.
00:56:26That actually makes perfect sense.
00:56:30Which means we'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.
00:56:39You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
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 you need to,
00:56:52and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:57:08Preston,
00:57:09we've been through so much together.
00:57:12I know where I'm headed in life,
00:57:14and I know who I want by my side.
00:57:16Tonight,
00:57:17at this launch party,
00:57:19celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:57:23isn't it the perfect moment to ask,
00:57:26will you marry me?
00:57:27It should be fun.
00:57:36Absolutely.
00:57:37You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:57:40Oh, stop it.
00:57:42Too bad you're taken.
00:57:43Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:57:45Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:57:46Told her meet me out here
00:57:47so we can go to this party together.
00:57:49Forget about her.
00:57:51She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:53We'll show you a better time.
00:57:55Yeah.
00:57:58Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:58:00Let's go.
00:58:00Fiona who?
00:58:01Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:58:20The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:58:31Please try again later.
00:58:32It's later.
00:58:32It's later.
00:58:32It's later.
00:58:34It's later.
00:58:36It's 20 in one day.
00:58:59All clean.
00:59:00All stable.
00:59:01Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:59:04You did it.
00:59:06No.
00:59:07We didn't.
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
00:59:23and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:59:27Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's
00:59:29revolutionary surgical program.
00:59:31What the fuck?
00:59:47You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:49I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:55So if you want to keep your job and your status,
00:59:58sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:59Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
01:00:20It's giving orderly sheep.
01:00:26Maybe he's here to bust tables.
01:00:29What are you doing at our launch party?
01:00:31You weren't invited.
01:00:32You so sure about that?
01:00:33I 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.
01:00:40Oh, look 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 in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:52Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals
01:00:54and the lowlives.
01:00:56Guess 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,
01:01:06the fraud,
01:01:07the nobody,
01:01:09isn't me.
01:01:12I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:01:17Got 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
01:01:28for medical malpractice,
01:01:31criminal negligence,
01:01:32and identity theft.
01:01:35What are you talking about?
01:01:37Identity theft?
01:01:39Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:01:41Yours?
01:01:43Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:01:45If you don't got it,
01:01:47just act like you do.
01:01:48Speaking from experience.
01:01:51Look 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
01:02:00and you're dirty, cheap scrubs,
01:02:01doesn't make you one of us.
01:02:03Good.
01:02:03I'm glad.
01:02:05Because you're all beneath me.
01:02:07Isn't that right,
01:02:08Dr. Marksman?
01:02:10That's enough.
01:02:11Guards!
01:02:12This former employee's threatening us.
01:02:15Kick him out!
01:02:17Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:02:18I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:02:24What are you dumbasses doing?
01:02:26Grab him!
01:02:26Kirstie!
01:02:42What the hell is this?
01:02:44Dad, relax.
01:02:46I, uh...
01:02:47Relax?
01:02:49This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:51I was just kicking him out.
01:02:51Guards, remove him immediately.
01:02:53President Vale,
01:02:54it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:56You get out of my way.
01:02:58Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:59This is Dr. Marksman,
01:03:01the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:03:03You are such a fool!
01:03:07Dad, what are you doing?
01:03:10Open your eyes, Preston.
01:03:12This man that you tried so hard to kick out,
01:03:15he is...
01:03:16You are a...
01:03:18disgrace!
01:03:20Dad!
01:03:22My hospital meant something
01:03:23and you turned it into a...
01:03:26and to a...
01:03:27Dad!
01:03:29Dad!
01:03:34Dad!
01:03:36President Vale,
01:03:38fuck away from my dad!
01:03:40Are you out of your mind?
01:03:41He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:03:43Oh 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!
01:03:49David!
01:03:49David!
01:03:50Do something!
01:03:51It's cold!
01:03:51It's cold!
01:03:56Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:58Blanking?
01:03:59Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:04:01Shut up!
01:04:02Why 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!
01:04:12What's the matter, David?
01:04:14If you need help, just ask.
01:04:16All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:04:19Right here, right now.
01:04:21I can't blow my cover, but...
01:04:23What if I kill him?
01:04:26I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:04:28I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:04:30I did medical school on Zoom.
01:04:32David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:04:37Let it go!
01:04:39I...
01:04:40I...
01:04:41I can't.
01:04:44I can't do this.
01:04:47Okay, I can't...
01:04:49I can't do this.
01:04:50I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:57That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:59He stole it from me.
01:05:02Okay, okay.
01:05:09I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:05:14Okay.
01:05:16I got it, I got it.
01:05:18Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:05:20Okay.
01:05:21All right, hold his head.
01:05:22Good.
01:05:23Tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:05:27Okay.
01:05:27Okay.
01:05:32Okay.
01:05:39Yes.
01:05:40Okay.
01:05:41Great.
01:05:42Four.
01:05:44One.
01:05:44Oh, thank God.
01:05:49How are you?
01:05:50Let it out.
01:05:51Oh.
01:05:56Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:58Surgical genius.
01:06:00Oh.
01:06:00That'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, say the word.
01:06:11Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:06:13That maneuver, that notebook.
01:06:18It's mine.
01:06:19Then tell them.
01:06:24Where is he going?
01:06:25Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:06:30Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:06:33Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:06:35That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:06:44What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:06:46He's delusional.
01:06:48Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:51The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:54That's mine.
01:06:56My handwriting.
01:06:57My theories.
01:06:59You'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, and it will, you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:07:14The patients will.
01:07:15You can't prove that.
01:07:17Not yet.
01:07:18But you can't fake medicine.
01:07:22Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:07:26Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:07:29We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:07:31Second patient today.
01:07:32Same issue.
01:07:33Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:07:35These techniques aren't viable.
01:07:37The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:07:40I mean, come on.
01:07:41Tonight proves it.
01:07:43We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:53I'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.
01:08:03This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:08:07Use the compression step.
01:08:10That only works in control scenarios.
01:08:12We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:08:15Look, just follow the notes.
01:08:17I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.
01:08:23Not mass implementation.
01:08:26Without calibration.
01:08:28It'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 blood loss.
01:08:45Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:47And 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.
01:08:53Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:56And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:09:00Oh, shit.
01:09:07Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:09:10Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:09:14Okay, listen very carefully.
01:09:17Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:09:24No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation,
01:09:31followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:09:39Yes.
01:09:41Yes.
01:09:44I don't even know he made a phone call.
01:09:47His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:50You 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.
01:10:00Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:10:05Why would we believe anything he says?
01:10:08He was fired.
01:10:08He's humiliated.
01:10:10You're right, I was fired.
01:10:11And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:10:17You know what?
01:10:18This is pathetic.
01:10:19He's just jealous.
01:10:20He missed his shot.
01:10:22Is that what you told yourself?
01:10:23When 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 coding patients.
01:10:55Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:59You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and 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 and you've disgraced them both.
01:11:19Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:11:23Because of his lies.
01:11:26You saved me.
01:11:28You saved Nelson.
01:11:29And now you can save Vale.
01:11:33I tried to warn you all.
01:11:35No one listened.
01:11:36Well, they're listening now.
01:11:38You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:11:43And probably even more than me.
01:11:45It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:49Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:53They weren't ready.
01:11:55They needed supervision.
01:11:58Precision.
01:11:59Development.
01:12:00Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:12:04Oh, you can't prove that.
01:12:07Security footage.
01:12:11Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:12:15Already submitted to the board.
01:12:18I built on what he started.
01:12:21Okay?
01:12:21I didn't steal.
01:12:23I enhanced it.
01:12:25Then why were patients about to die?
01:12:29You falsified rollout readiness?
01:12:31He did more than that.
01:12:33He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:12:39We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:12:42This is absurd.
01:12:44This was supposed to be our night.
01:12:46Oh, it's your night.
01:12:48It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:50You lied to me.
01:12:52I didn't lie.
01:12:53I simplified the truth.
01:12:55Simplify?
01:12:56You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:13:01You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:13:03You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:13:07That's malpractice.
01:13:08They worked.
01:13:10Nelson's alive.
01:13:11Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:13:12Yeah, because of me.
01:13:14Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special 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.
01:13:27It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:13:30Not 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.
01:13:41And 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, you propped up this fraud.
01:14:02Taking his side, Dad?
01:14:04I'm your son.
01:14:06I'm taking the side of truth.
01:14:08And so will the board.
01:14:10We 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?
01:14:19No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:14:20You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:14:23We understand the liability.
01:14:24That's enough.
01:14:27Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:14:33Dad, you're not going to have to drag me out like this.
01:14:35I'm your son.
01:14:36No, don't you touch me.
01:14:38You're not a child.
01:14:39Hey, Dad!
01:14:40You're the side built back!
01:14:42You're the son of a...
01:14:43Dad!
01:14:43Get off me!
01:14:44Get off me!
01:14:45I'm just a...
01:14:46I'm not a child!
01:14:48You're not my responsibility.
01:14:49Adrian, please.
01:14:57I made a mistake.
01:14:59I see that now.
01:15:00I should have believed in you.
01:15:01I should have stood by you.
01:15:04You were right about everything.
01:15:05Just give me a second chance.
01:15:11Please.
01:15:12I still love you.
01:15:16Love?
01:15:16You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:15:20You don't understand.
01:15:22I thought he was finished.
01:15:24I thought he had nothing left.
01:15:26So you sold him out.
01:15:28Mocked him.
01:15:29Over and over again.
01:15:32I was scared.
01:15:33I...
01:15:33I didn't know what to do.
01:15:35Oh, you knew.
01:15:36You just didn't care.
01:15:38Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:15:42Please.
01:15:44Say something.
01:15:47Anything.
01:15:47You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:50And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:54You always belonged in my operating room.
01:16:05And I should have fought harder to keep you if 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.
01:16:20We're rebuilding.
01:16:22And I want you back.
01:16:23As Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:16:29I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:16:31You had your chance, too.
01:16:33I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:16:36Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:16:40Adrian 2.0.
01:16:42I'm not coming back.
01:16:45You're choosing her?
01:16:47Our rival?
01:16:48You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:51I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:55Just typical.
01:16:57Just when you had your moment, you turn your back on it.
01:17:01For, for what?
01:17:02Her?
01:17:02She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:17:06Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:17:10Get me out of here.
01:17:12Now!
01:17:12Caroma has good timing.
01:17:30Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:17:37We have lives to save.
01:17:39Hey, not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:17:45I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:50Now?
01:17:51Well, there's no time like the present.
01:18:00This is what victory tastes like.
01:18:03It's not bad.
01:18:05I need a second opinion.
01:18:09Well, I've got all night.
01:18:11And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:18:17Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:18:19You're already exceeding expectations.
01:18:23But I am very thorough.
01:18:31Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:18:36Besides being you, of course.
