Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:20Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:23All the hours are full. We've got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55What? Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this?
00:01:00Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Then you prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:04Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:16That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bowbie coterie.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:45But how did he...
00:01:47Silk suture.
00:01:50Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:26What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:35Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait. I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:57Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:00Doctor.
00:03:02The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you...
00:03:10You actually did.
00:03:15Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:18Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,
00:03:20that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:23You...
00:03:24You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:29Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail.
00:03:32My hospital.
00:03:36Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:37Right now we have three critical patients
00:03:38that need specialized procedures.
00:03:41It's going to take hours.
00:03:43Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:47Good work, everyone.
00:03:50Good work, everyone.
00:04:17You're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them.
00:04:25Stabilized.
00:04:30Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:33You must have operated all night.
00:04:35You're a machine.
00:04:37Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:39All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:47Hey, you.
00:05:02Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night.
00:05:07I see every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:11What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you better than anyone.
00:05:26Blueberry, your favorite.
00:05:29You remembered.
00:05:31Where's your dad?
00:05:32You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:37I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:42I know.
00:05:42It's the third time this week.
00:05:52Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:56So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:58His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:59Sure.
00:06:00I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:02I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a town like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:16What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:18Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:22Who is this guy?
00:06:27Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:30He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:34who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:38I'm sorry.
00:06:39Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:43Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:47Sir, about last-
00:06:48Save it.
00:06:50Parker.
00:06:51You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:55You're fired.
00:06:57Clear out your office.
00:06:58New management means new standards.
00:07:01It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:03Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:16No complications, no deaths.
00:07:19This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:23Who's he thinking he is, Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:29Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:36This is a hospital.
00:07:38We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:42That was for my residency direction.
00:07:44Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:46Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:07:49and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:54Excuse me?
00:07:55Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:07:57just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:00Yes, sir.
00:08:01Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:05That was good.
00:08:06Let's go.
00:08:11Well, well, well.
00:08:13What do we have here?
00:08:15Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:18Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:19Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:28But here's one anyway.
00:08:29You are fired.
00:08:34Are you serious?
00:08:35You're firing me?
00:08:37Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:40Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:43Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:51What's he make?
00:08:52$700,000.
00:08:54That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:56$700?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:59You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:02This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:04I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:07I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:08Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:11Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:15What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:17Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:22Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:29Boy, bye.
00:09:31There must be some clerical error.
00:09:33These credentials.
00:09:35Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:38Fiona?
00:09:40Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:48Clear out your office.
00:09:50Clear out your locker.
00:09:52Get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:54This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:56You need to check the surgical law.
00:09:57You don't get to wear that.
00:09:58What?
00:10:05I see.
00:10:09Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:11You don't understand.
00:10:12He's the one who...
00:10:13Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:16Beat it.
00:10:17Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:19Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:26I understand.
00:10:41Hospital politics.
00:10:43I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:47Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:58You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:06If the board won't like this, four attendings dismissed in one day, patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:14I intend to wield it.
00:11:16Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:20Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:23No, Preston.
00:11:24He means nothing to me.
00:11:26Really.
00:11:27I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:28Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody, collecting unemployment checks, or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:42The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:46Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's in charge around here?
00:11:51Hey, Dad.
00:12:00What's wrong?
00:12:01Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:03She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:08And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:11Of course.
00:12:11What is it?
00:12:12That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
00:12:15Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:18Dr. Marksman?
00:12:19Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:22Get out of my hospital.
00:12:24Christ.
00:12:25The resident I just fired?
00:12:28Preston?
00:12:29Are you there?
00:12:31Check the staff roster.
00:12:33See if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:12:37I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:41He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:43And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:50Ah, yes.
00:12:57I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:01Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:05Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:09Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:11Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:12That's our man.
00:13:14There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:18Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:20Do me a favor.
00:13:21Fire him.
00:13:23Already done, Dad.
00:13:24I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:27Thank God.
00:13:28Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:31Good work, son.
00:13:33I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:36Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:39I got everything else under control.
00:13:47See?
00:13:48Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:51Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:55Mr. Vail, sir.
00:13:57Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:59Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:00The six-car pileup.
00:14:01You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:02What's your point?
00:14:03ER is crashing.
00:14:05We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:12Give me the situation.
00:14:14Now.
00:14:15Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:18Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:21We're losing patients.
00:14:23What are our options?
00:14:25There might be one solution.
00:14:26Well, spit it out.
00:14:28Dr. Marksman.
00:14:29He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:32If we can get him back here.
00:14:34Marksman.
00:14:34Right.
00:14:35That's the man we need.
00:14:35Fiona, call him.
00:14:37Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:39The genius surgeon.
00:14:40The one I didn't fire.
00:14:41Keep up.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:49Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:50Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:08Mmm.
00:15:09Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:12Wait.
00:15:14These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:16Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:24Hello?
00:15:25Dr. Marksman?
00:15:26Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:28Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:33I'm on my way.
00:15:34With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:41They'll make me department head.
00:15:43And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:52Well?
00:15:53Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:55Thank God.
00:15:55Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:09Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:11I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:13You're my future.
00:16:15That's my girl.
00:16:16Beyond a shift in it an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:29To hell with this.
00:16:31I'm going up.
00:16:31I'm going up.
00:16:31I'm going up.
00:16:33Piece of shit.
00:16:51Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:55Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:57You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:06I can choose who I want.
00:17:07And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:10You pathetic loser.
00:17:27We're done, Adrian.
00:17:29Ancient history.
00:17:30Are you serious?
00:17:34Just like that.
00:17:35Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:40Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:42Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:44I need someone with a future.
00:17:46Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:53Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:56It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:58Oh, look at us, Adrian.
00:18:04I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:18:06And you?
00:18:10Just a slacker.
00:18:12And scrubs.
00:18:13You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:15Perhaps try nursing.
00:18:17I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:20Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:26Get over yourself.
00:18:28You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:32President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:40I'm not done.
00:18:42But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:47You can count on that.
00:18:51No, no, no.
00:18:52Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:54Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:56Who authorized you to be here?
00:19:03Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:08from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:12You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:14Ah, yes.
00:19:15The very same.
00:19:15My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:19Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:22These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:28As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:32Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:38He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:42Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:43Dr. Hart.
00:19:54Incredible news.
00:19:56Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated
00:20:01from Vail Hospital.
00:20:03When?
00:20:04Less than an hour ago.
00:20:05Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:09Huh.
00:20:10Amazing.
00:20:11I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon was fired
00:20:18by his submental son.
00:20:20With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:24Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:28We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:30Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Engineering, research funding, state-of-the-art facilities, and if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:20:42His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:46Have my car brought round.
00:20:48I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:51And Adrian Marksman, he's leaving with me.
00:20:54Alphysus.
00:21:02What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:04Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:06A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:09The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:11Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:13This is crazy.
00:21:14You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:16And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:23you blame me.
00:21:26The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:31If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.
00:21:37I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:40Security, please detain him.
00:21:46What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:50Either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:21:57Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:02What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:04You better confess now or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:10Fine.
00:22:12Go ahead.
00:22:13Do your worst.
00:22:14Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:20You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:25Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:29Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:22:33After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:36Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:39Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:41I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:45As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:52Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:54Do you know what that means?
00:22:56It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:23:00I have one question before I go.
00:23:05Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:07My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:23:13You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:23:17Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:23:21Immediately.
00:23:22Yes, doctor.
00:23:23Right away, sir.
00:23:23That's quite enough.
00:23:39Let him go.
00:23:42Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:53You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:58That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:24:02Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium like four or five years ago.
00:24:07What are you doing here?
00:24:09Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:24:12Wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:19He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:21Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:25Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:24:32Dr. Hart, with all due respect.
00:24:35This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:38Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:24:40Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:46He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:49I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr...
00:24:52Marksman.
00:24:53David Marksman.
00:24:54I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:24:57After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:05His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:07His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:13Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:18Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:21Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:26He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:25:32Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:34Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:36His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:40President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:42This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:43Please, Adrian, the President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:49Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:25:55Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:26:00Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:26:06Well, I've...
00:26:07Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name.
00:26:13And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:16And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:43And cash.
00:26:49Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:54Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:56I mean what I say.
00:26:57Chief of surgery?
00:27:07You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:12Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:17This is absurd.
00:27:19He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:21And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:27The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:32Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:36This isn't about money.
00:27:39Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:43She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:46She can't do that.
00:27:47Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:50At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:27:55Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:28:01And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:02Dr. 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.
00:28:15My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:17Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:20His exact words.
00:28:23Negligence, surgeon.
00:28:25What are those?
00:28:28Personal gifts from your father.
00:28:32My fellowship offer.
00:28:35My personal research lab.
00:28:37My surgical team.
00:28:39I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:42You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:52You know what?
00:28:53Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:54You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:58The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:29:01Oh.
00:29:01Well, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.
00:29:06You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:10This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:17Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:22Yeah.
00:29:23Look, I'll be real.
00:29:24We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:27Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:28Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:34Look at yourself, Adrian, offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:40How pathetically desperate.
00:29:43Oh.
00:29:43A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:50How dare you talk to me like that!
00:29:52Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:58As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals, and with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:10Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:15That accusation isn't just baseless.
00:30:18It's absurd.
00:30:19What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:30:22You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:24Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:27If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:33We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:37If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:45Let's go.
00:30:47One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.
00:30:58Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.
00:31:05David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:07The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:12This is extraordinary.
00:31:16I am honored beyond words.
00:31:20Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:23Don't worry, babe.
00:31:24You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:29How exciting.
00:31:31Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:36Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
00:31:40Six critical patients incoming.
00:31:42Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:31:44Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:46Shit.
00:31:46I'm screwed.
00:31:47Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:31:51If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:55I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:32:02These techniques are revolutionary.
00:32:04I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:07It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:09You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:11No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:32:14I trust your brilliance.
00:32:15Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:17With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:21Hospital expansion.
00:32:24Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:33Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:36Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:39Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46Well, sorry.
00:32:48Who's this?
00:32:52Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:53President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:56I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:33:00Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:04Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:09Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:12This is merely a professional courtesy call,
00:33:14not an invitation for debate.
00:33:16Now, just...
00:33:18What is that conniving bitch plotting?
00:33:25She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:29Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has?
00:33:33Absolutely no chance of winning.
00:33:39Unless...
00:33:39Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:46Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:50Dad, relax.
00:33:52Fire the other one.
00:33:53That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:56Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:34:03Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:08There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:13I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:17But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:21So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:23She thinks she's hired the genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:28That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:31Impressive, son.
00:34:33You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:36I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:38I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:44Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
00:34:48We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:50We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:57Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:35:01I won't let you down.
00:35:04Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:08Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:10Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:35:15I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:20Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:24You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:27Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:29Exactly.
00:35:30And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:40As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:46Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:56What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:03So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:16It's not bad.
00:36:17It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:20What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:25It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:28You too.
00:36:29We need to expand.
00:36:32It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:35Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:36:45We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:47And I always find the best one.
00:36:48I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:00Good.
00:37:02The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:18This better be good.
00:37:22Mr. Vale, you wanted to see me?
00:37:29My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:34Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:40Mr. Vale, I, uh...
00:37:42Is there an issue with that?
00:37:43No, absolutely not.
00:37:45The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vale has already handed control to his son?
00:37:52If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:58Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.
00:38:01I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:06Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:08Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:11The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:13What?
00:38:14They both resigned at once?
00:38:15What was their explanation?
00:38:17They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:18But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician,
00:38:21along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:24Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:29President, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:31The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:33If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:36Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:38You still have me.
00:38:42I can rebuild this department.
00:38:44Ah, yes.
00:38:45With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:49Exactly.
00:38:50So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:52Let him go.
00:38:53I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:39:00Good work, Marksman.
00:39:05This is working out perfectly.
00:39:06Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:10Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:13It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:38This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:44He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:46And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:49This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:53All consummate professionals.
00:39:55My most trusted colleagues back at Vale.
00:40:00With this surgical team,
00:40:02Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:06Actually, the whole world.
00:40:09We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:11Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:15I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us,
00:40:18but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:22We have got considerable ground to cover
00:40:24before we can truly challenge Vale Hospital's dominance.
00:40:27Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:29With Hadrian leading our team,
00:40:30we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vale attempts.
00:40:33Yes, but Vale has already implemented
00:40:36Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:40:40Yeah, about that.
00:40:42It's a preliminary version.
00:40:43If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:40:46Then what?
00:40:47A lot of deaths.
00:40:48A lot of lawsuits.
00:40:50A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:40:52Or worse,
00:40:53these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation
00:40:55without proper refinement.
00:40:57Those techniques require precise calibration
00:41:00and specialized training without that foundation.
00:41:03We're talking about serious complications.
00:41:06Preventable harm.
00:41:08Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:10We need to perfect these procedures,
00:41:13and then we can find a way to prevent Vale
00:41:15from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:18Exactly.
00:41:18It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:20It's about saving lives.
00:41:24We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vale
00:41:28to develop next-generation surgical techniques
00:41:31eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:36Even if Vale Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach
00:41:39and attempts to create something new,
00:41:41we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:44And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols,
00:41:48rest assured,
00:41:49their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:52I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:55Remember this moment.
00:41:56In this battle for medical supremacy,
00:41:59Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:08It's 3 a.m.
00:42:10Lost track of time again.
00:42:12Yeah.
00:42:14Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:21Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:24Do you mind?
00:42:26No.
00:42:28I mean, yeah.
00:42:31What do you give all your surgeons?
00:42:32Massages?
00:42:34Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:41You really, really like me?
00:42:44Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:48Nothing's changed.
00:42:50You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:42:53I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:56There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:59Only you.
00:43:02But you were completely oblivious.
00:43:04And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:07Well, I left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:11I know.
00:43:12I know.
00:43:15Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:43:19Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:24You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:29But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:37So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:53I hear the boss.
00:43:54That's right.
00:43:55And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:44:00Tonight?
00:44:01You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:04Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:13You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:17Come with me.
00:44:18Where?
00:44:23My place.
00:44:28Hmm.
00:44:32All right.
00:44:33I'll admit it.
00:44:35That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:37Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:39I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:42That just depends on the company.
00:44:44Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:48Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:53Are you sure about that?
00:44:54We already work late hours.
00:44:57Living together could get complicated.
00:45:01Well, I like complicated.
00:45:03Keeps things interesting.
00:45:05And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:08Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:18Plenty of room.
00:45:22If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:28Really?
00:45:30Relax.
00:45:31I'm only teasing.
00:45:33Tonight, at least.
00:45:36Come on.
00:45:39I'll show you your room.
00:45:40Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:45And mine.
00:45:52Things could get dangerous.
00:45:53Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:05You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:08Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:14We need at least six months to properly master.
00:46:17Six months?
00:46:19You have 72 hours.
00:46:21And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:24Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:30Three days.
00:46:31Then you don't get one hour more.
00:46:33Go.
00:46:35Go.
00:46:39Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:40What's our status?
00:46:42Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:44We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:48That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:50I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:52Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:47:02Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:47:04Outstanding.
00:47:05When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:09Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:12Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:14I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:18This is my shot.
00:47:19Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:21With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:26Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:35I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:43If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:46Truly, that's...
00:47:48I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:47:53You're finally awake.
00:48:18You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:20All right.
00:48:22Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:23Looks good.
00:48:28When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:31Sound good?
00:48:32Yes.
00:48:33Absolutely.
00:48:35Good.
00:48:36Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:44Extra special.
00:48:45Okay, team, we're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:58We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:49:04Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:06I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:08I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and 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.
00:49:22And 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.
00:49:34At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:44Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:52Absolutely.
00:49:53You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:56Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:49:57With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:50:00Heart is best!
00:50:01Heart is best!
00:50:03Heart is best!
00:50:04Heart is best!
00:50:05Heart is best!
00:50:35You always this disciplined?
00:50:39Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:43If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:46Midnight meetings, long hours, this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:50:58That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:51:01Then they fired me.
00:51:05Then they were fools.
00:51:09You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:12You know that, right?
00:51:18You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:21I don't try.
00:51:25I do.
00:51:29Well, don't work too late.
00:51:35You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:44The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:49Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:51Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:56I give you one simple task and you screw it up.
00:52:00How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:52:04Vail General Hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless
00:52:10little interns.
00:52:11If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:14Is that clear?
00:52:17Yes, sir.
00:52:18This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:21Go.
00:52:30Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:31What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:33Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:36We're on schedule or not?
00:52:37Of course.
00:52:39We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:43Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:45Good.
00:52:46But it's a problem.
00:52:47I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:48No cover-ups.
00:52:49Of course, sir.
00:52:53Mr. Vail.
00:52:54Not now.
00:52:55Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:53:00It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:07Don't worry.
00:53:08When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:14I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:24Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:30This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:36especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:40The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:45Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:47Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:50I hope you're right.
00:53:53For your sake.
00:53:54Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:54:03It's not a success.
00:54:04Yet.
00:54:07Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:09Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:12it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:14Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:30Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:33That soon?
00:54:34They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:38It's a good thing we're ahead of them.
00:54:43You're saying we're ready?
00:54:45Why would I lie?
00:54:46We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:49Let him celebrate.
00:54:50It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:52How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:55Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:55:00Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:55:02He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:04And?
00:55:04Their model's flawed.
00:55:07If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:11we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:14And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:16Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:20So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:26It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:29They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:32They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:36That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:40Which means we've already won.
00:55:43Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:45We should celebrate.
00:55:46What do you have in mind?
00:55:48Drinks?
00:55:49Not quite.
00:55:50You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:53What?
00:55:55Why?
00:55:55Let me worry about that.
00:55:57In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:56:00Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:56:02And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:04Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:22I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:26Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:34just at the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:37will you marry me?
00:56:42You should be fun.
00:56:47Absolutely.
00:56:48You really know how to take care of your stuff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:52Stop it.
00:56:52Too bad you're taken.
00:56:54Yeah.
00:56:54Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:55Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:57Told her, meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:57:00Forget about her.
00:57:02She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:04We'll show you a better time.
00:57:06Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:11Let's go.
00:57:11Fiona who?
00:57:15Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:17Let me get you off.
00:57:25The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:41Please, try again later.
00:57:43It's 20 in one day.
00:58:05It's 20 in one day.
00:58:09All clean, all stable.
00:58:12The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:15You did it.
00:58:16No, we didn't.
00:58:21Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:25You're already late.
00:58:26I need a change there.
00:58:27You don't have time.
00:58:28Where's Vivian?
00:58:30Taking care of something.
00:58:32She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:36Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:57What the fuck?
00:58:58You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:00I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:03Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:06So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:59:29Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:32It's giving.
00:59:33It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:37Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:41What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:42You weren't invited.
00:59:44You're so sure about that?
00:59:45I mean, look at you.
00:59:46This is a black tie?
00:59:47I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:52Look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:55The found surgeon.
00:59:56The fraud.
00:59:57The fraud.
00:59:58The nobody.
01:00:00Show up to my party and dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:03Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:06Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:08Pardon me.
01:00:09I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:11Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:14What are you trying to say?
01:00:15I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:21I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:27I've got some nerve talking to my man, Marksman, like that.
01:00:32A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:34You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:37Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:39When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:46What are you talking about?
01:00:48Identity theft?
01:00:50Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:53Yours?
01:00:54Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:57If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:01:00Speaking from experience.
01:01:03Look around you.
01:01:05This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:08The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:10Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:14Good.
01:01:15I'm glad.
01:01:16Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:18Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:21That's enough.
01:01:22Guards, this former employee is threatening us.
01:01:27Kick him out.
01:01:28Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:32I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:36What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:37Grab him.
01:01:38Preston!
01:01:49What the hell is this?
01:01:56Dad.
01:01:57Relax.
01:01:58I, uh...
01:01:59Relax?
01:01:59This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:02I was just kicking him out.
01:02:03Guards, remove him immediately.
01:02:05President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:08You get out of my way!
01:02:10Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:11This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:15You are such a fool!
01:02:19Dad!
01:02:20What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:22Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:24This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:28Uh...
01:02:28You are a...
01:02:30Disgraced!
01:02:32Dad!
01:02:33My hospital meant something and...
01:02:36You turned it into a...
01:02:38Into a...
01:02:39You...
01:02:40Oh!
01:02:41Dad!
01:02:46Dad!
01:02:49President Vail, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:52Are you out of your mind?
01:02:53He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:54Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:57I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:59Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:01David!
01:03:02David!
01:03:02Do something.
01:03:04It's cold.
01:03:08Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:11Blanking?
01:03:12Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:13Shut up!
01:03:14Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:17This is ridiculous.
01:03:18I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:21Why are you just standing there?
01:03:22Do something!
01:03:23What's the matter, David?
01:03:26If you need help, just ask.
01:03:29All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:31Right here.
01:03:32Right now.
01:03:34I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:36What if I kill him?
01:03:38I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:40I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:43I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:45David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:49Let it go!
01:03:50I...
01:03:52I...
01:03:52I...
01:03:53I can't.
01:03:56I can't do this.
01:03:59Okay, I can't...
01:04:01I can't do this.
01:04:02I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:06That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:11He stole it from me.
01:04:19Okay, okay.
01:04:21I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:24I can't do this.
01:04:25I can't do it.
01:04:26I can't do it.
01:04:27I can't do it.
01:04:28I can't do it.
01:04:29I can't do it.
01:04:30I can't do it.
01:04:31I can't do it.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33All right, hold his head.
01:04:34But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:37Okay.
01:04:38Okay.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:40Okay.
01:04:41Okay.
01:04:42Okay.
01:04:43Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:45Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Okay.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:49Great.
01:04:50Four.
01:04:51Five.
01:04:52Oh, my God.
01:04:53How are you?
01:04:54What up?
01:04:55Oh, my God.
01:04:56How are you?
01:04:57What up?
01:04:58Oh, my God.
01:04:59How are you?
01:05:00What up?
01:05:01Oh.
01:05:02Oh.
01:05:03Oh.
01:05:04Oh.
01:05:05Oh.
01:05:07Oh.
01:05:08Oh.
01:05:09That's my guy.
01:05:10Surgical genius.
01:05:11Oh.
01:05:12That's how Val makes history.
01:05:14Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:16Or at least a new department.
01:05:18If you still want that chief medical officer position,
01:05:21say the word.
01:05:22Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:27That maneuver.
01:05:29That notebook.
01:05:30It's mine.
01:05:31Then tell them.
01:05:36Where is he going?
01:05:37Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program
01:05:40at another fake hospital.
01:05:42Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:45Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:52That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:56What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:58He's delusional.
01:06:00Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:03The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:06That's mine.
01:06:08My handwriting.
01:06:09My theories.
01:06:10I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:15I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:19And when it fails,
01:06:22then it will.
01:06:24You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:26The patients will.
01:06:27You can't prove that.
01:06:29Not yet.
01:06:31But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:34Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:37The truth.
01:06:40Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:41We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:43Second patient today.
01:06:44Same issue.
01:06:45Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:48These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:49The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:52I mean, come on.
01:06:54Tonight proves it.
01:06:55We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:57I'll be right back.
01:07:07Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:12Talk to me.
01:07:13The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:16This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:20Use the compression step.
01:07:22That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:24We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:28Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:33I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:36Not mass implementation.
01:07:38Without calibration.
01:07:40It's unstable.
01:07:42It's dangerous.
01:07:43They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:46Now people are paying for it.
01:07:49All good?
01:07:51Of course.
01:07:52Just routine coordination.
01:07:55Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:58Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:00And patients are suffering.
01:08:02You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:03You wouldn't know?
01:08:04Yeah, I would know.
01:08:06Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:09And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:14Bullshit.
01:08:15Oh yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:16Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:17Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:18Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:36No, you need to perform a Marksman modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation, followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:50Yes.
01:08:52Yes.
01:08:54Yes.
01:08:57How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:09:00His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:03You stole his methods.
01:09:05This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:10Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:11Okay.
01:09:12Then prove me wrong.
01:09:13Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:18Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:21He was fired.
01:09:23You're right, I was fired.
01:09:25And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:31You know what?
01:09:32This is pathetic.
01:09:33He's just jealous.
01:09:34He missed his shot.
01:09:35Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:37When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:40Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:45I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:59I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:10:02And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:08Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:12You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:17The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:21Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:23Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:26This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:33Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:37Because of his lies.
01:10:40You saved me.
01:10:42You saved Nelson.
01:10:43And now you can save Vale.
01:10:46Tried to warn you all.
01:10:48No one listened.
01:10:49Well, they're listening now.
01:10:51You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:57And probably even more than me.
01:10:59It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:01Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:07They weren't ready.
01:11:09They needed supervision.
01:11:11Precision.
01:11:13Development.
01:11:14Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:18Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:20Security footage.
01:11:25Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:29Already submitted to the board.
01:11:32I built on what he started.
01:11:35Okay?
01:11:36I didn't steal.
01:11:38I enhanced it.
01:11:39Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:42You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:45He did more than that.
01:11:46He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:52We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:56This is absurd.
01:11:57This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:59Oh, it's your night.
01:12:01It's not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:04You lied to me.
01:12:06I didn't lie.
01:12:07I simplified the truth.
01:12:09Simplify?
01:12:10You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:14You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:18You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:21That's malpractice.
01:12:23They worked.
01:12:24Nelson's alive.
01:12:25Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:27Yeah, because of me.
01:12:29Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:34Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:37Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:12:38I tested them for years.
01:12:41It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:44Not without training.
01:12:46You're rewriting history?
01:12:48No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:50Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:55And without him, it won't.
01:12:57This is absurd!
01:12:59You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:13:01He's not disgraced, son. You are.
01:13:05You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:09And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:15Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:18I'm your son.
01:13:19I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:22And so will the board.
01:13:24We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:27Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:32Suspended?
01:13:33No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:34You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:37We understand the liability. That's enough.
01:13:41Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:45Dad, you're not going to often drag me out like this. I'm your son.
01:13:50No, don't you touch me.
01:13:52You're not a child.
01:13:53Hey, Dad!
01:13:54I built that!
01:13:56They're just kidding. Son of a...
01:13:57Dad!
01:13:58Do something!
01:13:59Get off me!
01:14:01You're not a child!
01:14:02You're not my responsibility!
01:14:11Adrian, please.
01:14:12I made a mistake. I see that now.
01:14:14I should have believed in you.
01:14:16I should have stood by you.
01:14:18You were right about everything.
01:14:23Just give me a second chance.
01:14:25Please.
01:14:27I still love you.
01:14:30Love?
01:14:31You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:34You don't understand.
01:14:36I thought he was finished.
01:14:39I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:40Nothing left.
01:14:41So you sold him out.
01:14:43Mocked him.
01:14:44Over and over again.
01:14:46I was scared.
01:14:48I...
01:14:49I didn't know what to do.
01:14:50Oh, you knew.
01:14:51You just didn't care.
01:14:53Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:57Please.
01:14:59Say something.
01:15:01Anything.
01:15:02You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:03And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:07They tried to bury me alive.
01:15:17You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:20And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:26The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:31And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:35We're rebuilding.
01:15:37And I want you back as Vale's Chief of Experimental Surgery.
01:15:43I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:46You had your chance, too.
01:15:48I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:51Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:55Adrian 2.0.
01:15:57I'm not coming back.
01:16:00You're choosing her?
01:16:02Our rival?
01:16:04You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:05I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:10Just typical.
01:16:12Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:18She's just gonna use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:22Oh, rejecting much, Nelson.
01:16:25Get me out of here.
01:16:27Now!
01:16:28Oh!
01:16:29Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:33Oh!
01:16:35Oh!
01:16:37Oh!
01:16:39Oh!
01:16:41Oh!
01:16:43Oh!
01:16:45Karma has good timing.
01:16:49Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:52We have lives to save.
01:16:54Hey!
01:16:55Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:17:00I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:05Now?
01:17:06Well, just in a time like the present.
01:17:16This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:19It's not bad.
01:17:21I need a second opinion.
01:17:22Well, I've got all night.
01:17:26And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:32Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:35You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:38But I am very thorough.
01:17:40I'm very thorough.
01:17:42And I'll keep going.
01:17:43I'm very well.
01:17:46What's up?
01:17:48Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:50Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:53You know, I'm good.
01:17:57You're a good one.
01:17:59What's up?
01:18:02You-
