You Fired A Genius Surgeon
Transcript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients
00:00:08flooding into Bale Hospital's Emergency Department.
00:00:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team,
00:00:16their 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 got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the Patient Trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:29I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:51Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:56Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this?
00:01:00Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:02Then prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:14Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:22Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey cautery.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:34He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:41The bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:44But how did he...?
00:01:46Silk suture.
00:01:54Parker, 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.
00:02:16Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:32That 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.
00:02:40I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:55Final suture.
00:02:57Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:04Doctor!
00:03:06The nurses...
00:03:08They said you did it.
00:03:09And you...
00:03:11You 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...
00:03:25You 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 that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's gonna take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:04:05You're all stable.
00:04:06Every single one of them.
00:04:07Stabilized.
00:04:08Oh.
00:04:09The sun's coming up.
00:04:10You must have operated all night.
00:04:11You're a machine.
00:04:12Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:13All right.
00:04:14It's time for something.
00:04:15You're all stable.
00:04:16You're all stable.
00:04:17Every single one of them.
00:04:18You're all stable.
00:04:19Every single one of them.
00:04:20Stabilized.
00:04:21Oh.
00:04:22The sun's coming up.
00:04:23You must have operated all night.
00:04:24You're a machine.
00:04:25Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:39It's time for some much-needed Shadeye.
00:04:57Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:09What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:25Goldberry.
00:05:26Your favorite?
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:36I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:40It just feels different.
00:05:49It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure.
00:05:59I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:00I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:23Who is this guy?
00:06:24Preston Vale.
00:06:26Preston Vale.
00:06:27Preston Vale's son.
00:06:28Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:32who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:36I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons?
00:06:41Or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about that-
00:06:47Save it.
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:51You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:56Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:06:59It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention.
00:07:06And everybody's attention now.
00:07:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,
00:07:12every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who does he think he is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:25What is this?
00:07:26Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:34This is a hospital.
00:07:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:40That was from my residency direction.
00:07:42Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients
00:07:47and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:49you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:51You're fired.
00:07:52Excuse me?
00:07:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop
00:07:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:03That was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:10Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:16Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No.
00:08:26You didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You.
00:08:29Are.
00:08:30Fired.
00:08:32Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no.
00:08:40But there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:44He's...
00:08:46a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:49What's he make?
00:08:50700,000.
00:08:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55700?
00:08:56Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed!
00:09:03I just worked all night.
00:09:05Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:06Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:09I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:13What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:25My career comes first.
00:09:27Boy, bye.
00:09:29There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:36Fiona.
00:09:39Dr. Marksman.
00:09:42You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:45Fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:48Clear out your locker.
00:09:50And get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:54You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:55Oh, you don't get to wear that.
00:09:56What?
00:10:03I see.
00:10:04Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:09You don't understand.
00:10:10He's the one who-
00:10:11Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:13Beat it.
00:10:14Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:18I understand.
00:10:19Hospital politics.
00:10:20Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:31Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:32I'll be waiting.
00:10:33You care to explain that little exchange?
00:10:37The board won't like this.
00:10:38Four attendings dismissed and brief.
00:10:39I understand.
00:10:40I understand.
00:10:41I understand.
00:10:42Hospital politics.
00:10:43I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:47I'll be waiting.

00:20:10when he discovers
00:20:10that his prized surgeon
00:20:12was fired
00:20:13by his submental son
00:20:15with respect
00:20:16we're still establishing
00:20:18our reputation
00:20:19would someone
00:20:20of Marksman's caliber
00:20:22even consider joining us?
00:20:24I'll offer him
00:20:24whatever it takes
00:20:25full department autonomy
00:20:28research funding
00:20:30state-of-the-art facilities
00:20:32and if necessary
00:20:34my personal involvement
00:20:37his techniques
00:20:39could revolutionize
00:20:40surgical care
00:20:41have my car brought round
00:20:43I'm going to Vail
00:20:45Hospital personally
00:20:46and Adrian Marksman
00:20:48he's leaving with me
00:20:50Alphysus
00:20:57what kind of delusional
00:20:58accusation is that?
00:20:59don't insult our intelligence
00:21:01a patient coded
00:21:02while you were off
00:21:03taking a nap
00:21:04the timing couldn't
00:21:04possibly be coincidental
00:21:06yet you stand there
00:21:07denying it
00:21:07this is crazy
00:21:08you've all passed me off
00:21:10as some second-rate surgeon
00:21:11and when a complication occurs
00:21:13which happened
00:21:14in this hospital
00:21:15under your incompetent leadership
00:21:17you
00:21:19blame me
00:21:20the collective medical knowledge
00:21:23in this room
00:21:23isn't enough
00:21:24to fill a prescription pad
00:21:25if you were even
00:21:27half the surgeon
00:21:28that you claim to be
00:21:29you would still have a job
00:21:30I'm not going to stand here
00:21:33and debate medicine
00:21:34with you in front of Mr. Vail
00:21:35security

00:21:55of endangering patients

00:22:15underestimate
00:22:17my family's influence
00:22:18don't you?
00:22:19don't you realize
00:22:20that Mr. Vail here
00:22:21can end your entire career
00:22:22with one phone call?
00:22:24sir
00:22:24I strongly recommend
00:22:26that we make
00:22:26an example out of him
00:22:27after all
00:22:28he'll be a danger
00:22:29to his patients
00:22:29wherever he goes
00:22:30Preston
00:22:31you can't let him
00:22:32walk away after this
00:22:34not after what he did
00:22:35to our patients

00:22:58before I go

00:24:15is this how
00:24:15Vail Hospital
00:24:16discards its
00:24:17exceptional talent?
00:24:19your father
00:24:20built this institution's
00:24:21reputation
00:24:21of medical excellence
00:24:23not petty politics
00:24:25Dr. Hart
00:24:27with all due respect
00:24:29this is a conversation
00:24:30between medical directors
00:24:31someone in your position
00:24:33should recognize
00:24:33when to maintain silence
00:24:35Dr. Hart
00:24:36I must inform you
00:24:37that Dr. Marksman
00:24:38represents a serious liability
00:24:40he compromised
00:24:41patient safety
00:24:42and
00:24:43I don't believe
00:24:44I requested
00:24:44your medical opinion
00:24:45Dr.
00:24:46Marksman
00:24:47David Marksman
00:24:48I have neither time
00:24:50nor interest
00:24:50in your assessment
00:24:52after he
00:24:54decided to go to sleep
00:24:56we had a critical
00:24:57surgical complication
00:24:58his negligence
00:25:00led to the problem
00:25:01his actions
00:25:02not only
00:25:03endangered patients
00:25:03it compromised
00:25:04my hospital's reputation
00:25:06are you really
00:25:08willing to defend
00:25:09someone
00:25:09who violates
00:25:10the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:12did you actually
00:25:13consult with your father
00:25:14before dismissing
00:25:14Dr. Marksman?
00:25:15of course I consult
00:25:17in my father
00:25:18he's the one
00:25:21who specifically
00:25:21mentioned his
00:25:22dangerous surgical
00:25:23shortcuts
00:25:23and inflated
00:25:25reputation
00:25:25dangerous shortcuts
00:25:26and inflated
00:25:28reputation
00:25:28dangerous shortcuts
00:25:30is that what
00:25:32President Vail
00:25:32really
00:25:33is that what
00:25:35President Vail
00:25:35really said
00:25:36his exact words
00:25:37were
00:25:37remove him
00:25:38at first opportunity
00:25:39President Vail
00:25:41was the one
00:25:41that recruited me
00:25:42this makes
00:25:42absolutely no sense
00:25:43please Adrian
00:25:44the President
00:25:45wouldn't personally
00:25:46recruit a mid-level
00:25:47surgeon like you
00:25:48those gala
00:25:49invitations
00:25:50were professional
00:25:51courtesy
00:25:52not
00:25:53genuine respect
00:25:54well if that's
00:25:55the way things
00:25:56work at Vail
00:25:56I have nothing
00:25:57more to contribute
00:25:57to any of you
00:25:59Dr. Marksman
00:26:00would you consider
00:26:02joining Heart
00:26:02Medical Center
00:26:03as our chief
00:26:04of surgery?
00:26:06well I've
00:26:07full department
00:26:08autonomy
00:26:08protected research
00:26:10time
00:26:11a surgical
00:26:12fellowship
00:26:12in your name
00:26:13and
00:26:14a seven
00:26:14figure
00:26:15salary
00:26:15package
00:26:46And cash.
00:26:48Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:53Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:55I mean what I say.
00:27:02Chief of surgery?
00:27:06You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:11Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:16This is absurd.
00:27:18He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:20And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:26The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:31Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:35This isn't about money.
00:27:37Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:43She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:45She can't do that.
00:27:46Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:49At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:27:53including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:28:00And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:03Dr. 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.
00:28:13My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:15Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?
00:28:18His exact words.
00:28:21Negligence, Serge?
00:28:22What are those?
00:28:26Personal gifts from your father?
00:28:28My fellowship offer?
00:28:33My personal research lab?
00:28:35My surgical team?
00:28:36I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:40You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:50You know what?
00:28:50Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:52You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:55The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:28:59Oh, your stupidity.
00:29:02It's just astonishing.
00:29:04You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:08This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:15Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:20Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:29:22We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:24Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:27Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:34Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:36Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:39How pathetically desperate.
00:29:41Oh.
00:29:42A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:48How dare you talk to me like that!
00:29:50Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:57As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:30:03And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:09Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:13That accusation isn't just baseness.
00:30:16It's absurd.
00:30:18What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:30:21You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:23Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:25If you insist on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:28have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:31We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:36If it's war you want,
00:30:38I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:44Let's go.
00:30:45One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.
00:30:57Mr. Vail,
00:30:58don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.
00:31:03David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:05The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:10This is extraordinary.
00:31:14I am honored beyond words.
00:31:19Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:21Don't worry, babe.
00:31:23You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:27How exciting.
00:31:30Mr. Vail,
00:31:31I swear on my medical oath
00:31:33that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:35Mr. Vail,
00:31:37a commuter train derailed.
00:31:38Six critical patients incoming.
00:31:40Dr. Marksman,
00:31:41OR1 now.
00:31:42Now's your time to shine,
00:31:43Dr. Marksman.
00:31:44Shit.
00:31:45I'm screwed.
00:31:45Adrian's surgical journal
00:31:46with all his proprietary techniques
00:31:48is still in my office.
00:31:50If Preston finds out,
00:31:51I stole it
00:31:52and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:53I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol
00:31:59that I invented myself.
00:32:00These techniques are revolutionary.
00:32:03I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:06It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:08You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:10No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:32:12I trust your brilliance.
00:32:14Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:15With you leading my surgical team,
00:32:17I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:20Hospital expansion.
00:32:21Again, sir,
00:32:24I'm deeply honored.
00:32:31Behold,
00:32:32Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:35Let's see how all these condescending clowns
00:32:37treat me now.
00:32:41Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:44Well, sorry.
00:32:46Who's this?
00:32:47Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:52President Vail,
00:32:53Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:55I am calling to let you know
00:32:57that as of this morning,
00:32:58Hart Medical Center
00:32:59has officially entered
00:33:00the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:02Revolutionary surgical procedures
00:33:04are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:07Are you absolutely certain
00:33:09you want to pick this fight?
00:33:10This is merely a professional courtesy call,
00:33:13not an invitation for debate.
00:33:14Now, just...
00:33:17Just that conniving bitch plotting.
00:33:24She knows Adrian
00:33:25is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:28Why would she deliberately provoke
00:33:30a medical war
00:33:31she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:33:37Unless...
00:33:37Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:44Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:48Dad, relax.
00:33:50I fired the other one,
00:33:51that incompetent slacker resident
00:33:53that you mentioned.
00:33:54Then explain to me
00:33:55why Hart Medical Center
00:33:57believes they can suddenly challenge
00:33:59our surgical supremacy.
00:34:02Because I
00:34:03masterfully led Vivian Hart
00:34:05into a false sense of reality.
00:34:07There's no way a mediocre doctor
00:34:08can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:10I convinced Vivian
00:34:12that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:14But in reality,
00:34:16she's hired our disgraced,
00:34:17discarded loser.
00:34:19So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:21She thinks she's hired genius
00:34:24behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:25groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:27That's why she had the audacity
00:34:28to declare war on you.
00:34:29Impressive, son.
00:34:31You're finally showing
00:34:32some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:33I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:35I think you're ready
00:34:36to take complete control
00:34:38of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:42Dad, this is everything
00:34:44I've worked for.
00:34:46We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:47We're going to expose
00:34:49Hart Medical Center
00:34:51for the low-grade institution
00:34:54it truly is.
00:34:55Their humiliation
00:34:56will be quick and absolute.
00:34:59I won't let you down.
00:35:01Darling,
00:35:03surgical innovation
00:35:04is the future of Vail.
00:35:06Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:08Do you really think it's wise
00:35:10to entrust him
00:35:10with our most prestigious program?
00:35:12I would never take
00:35:14a risk like this
00:35:15if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:18Remember,
00:35:19we have the ultimate
00:35:20surgical secret weapon.
00:35:22You mean the surgeon
00:35:23that saved my life?
00:35:25Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:27Exactly.
00:35:28And all I need to do
00:35:30is stay hands-off
00:35:32and let him
00:35:34exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:37As long as Adrian
00:35:38is with Vail Hospital,
00:35:41Hart Medical Center
00:35:42has no chance
00:35:43of competing.
00:35:45Not only that,
00:35:46Vivian fell
00:35:47for Preston's manipulation
00:35:48and hired that medical disaster,
00:35:51Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:54What we have to do now
00:35:55is sit back
00:35:57and watch her
00:35:58would-be empire
00:36:00crumble.
00:36:07So,
00:36:08now that you've seen
00:36:09the surgical department,
00:36:11what do you think?
00:36:13It's not bad.
00:36:15It's a small team,
00:36:16but they're talented.
00:36:17What you've built here,
00:36:19it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:20It's good to see you again
00:36:24after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:26You too.
00:36:28We need to expand.
00:36:30It's too small
00:36:31for what I'm planning.
00:36:33So,
00:36:34I heard
00:36:36you weren't the only surgeon
00:36:37Preston Vail fired.
00:36:43We have all the angles
00:36:44figured out, don't you?
00:36:45And I always find
00:36:46the best one.
00:36:46I'm going to start recruiting.
00:36:58Good.
00:37:00The faster we rise,
00:37:02the more rewarding
00:37:04this partnership becomes.
00:37:05This better be good.
00:37:20Mr. Vail,
00:37:22you wanted to see me?
00:37:27My father
00:37:28has granted me
00:37:29complete authority
00:37:30over our experimental
00:37:31surgical department.
00:37:33Given your new position
00:37:34as chief of surgery,
00:37:35I'm appointing you
00:37:37head of innovation.
00:37:38Mr. Vail,
00:37:39I, uh...
00:37:40Is there an issue with that?
00:37:42No, absolutely not.
00:37:44The budget for innovation
00:37:45is astronomical,
00:37:46and President Vail
00:37:47has already handed control
00:37:49to his son?
00:37:50If I oversee these procedures,
00:37:52I could divert
00:37:53significant resources
00:37:54to my personal research.
00:37:56Mr. Vail,
00:37:57you can trust me completely.
00:37:59I am precisely
00:38:00the right man for the job.
00:38:02Preston,
00:38:05we have a catastrophe
00:38:06on our hands.
00:38:06Two attending surgeons
00:38:07just submitted their resignation
00:38:08simultaneously.
00:38:09The department
00:38:10can't possibly maintain
00:38:11its caseload.
00:38:11What?
00:38:12They both resigned at once?
00:38:13What was their explanation?
00:38:15They refused to disclose
00:38:16their reasons.
00:38:17But there's talk
00:38:17they were recruited
00:38:17by a former Vail physician,
00:38:19along with the three other surgeons
00:38:21you fired before.
00:38:22Former physician,
00:38:23Adrian Marksman.
00:38:24This has his
00:38:24saboteur signature
00:38:26all over it.
00:38:27Preston,
00:38:27what's our contingency plan?
00:38:28The surgical department
00:38:30is severely understaffed.
00:38:31If any more surgeons leave,
00:38:33patients will suffer.
00:38:34Okay, everybody
00:38:35needs to remain calm.
00:38:38You still have me.
00:38:40I can rebuild
00:38:41this department.
00:38:42Ah, yes.
00:38:43With your stellar reputation,
00:38:45we should be able
00:38:45to get the best of the best.
00:38:47Exactly.
00:38:48So we lost
00:38:49some second-rate talent.
00:38:51Let him go.
00:38:53I'll make some calls
00:38:54to Cedars-Sinai
00:38:55and UCLA.
00:38:57Okay.
00:38:58Good work, Marksman.
00:39:03This is working out perfectly.
00:39:05Now I can install
00:39:05my own allies
00:39:06in key positions.
00:39:08Soon,
00:39:08I'll control
00:39:09the entire hospital's
00:39:10medical direction.
00:39:28It's an honor to meet you,
00:39:36Dr. Hart.
00:39:40This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:42He's a triple board
00:39:43certified surgeon.
00:39:44And soon,
00:39:45he'll be the head
00:39:45of trauma surgery.
00:39:47This is Dr. Rose,
00:39:48Chen,
00:39:49Rose,
00:39:50and Thomas.
00:39:51All consummate professionals.
00:39:53My most trusted colleagues
00:39:55back at Vail.
00:39:58With this surgical team,
00:40:00Hart Medical
00:40:01can revolutionize
00:40:02surgical care
00:40:03all across the country.
00:40:05Actually,
00:40:06the whole world.
00:40:07We're here to begin,
00:40:08Dr. Hart.
00:40:09Well,
00:40:10welcome to
00:40:11Hart Medical Center.
00:40:12I am thrilled
00:40:14to have surgeons
00:40:15of your caliber
00:40:16joining us,
00:40:17but
00:40:17I do need
00:40:18to be transparent.
00:40:20We have got
00:40:21considerable ground
00:40:22to cover
00:40:22before we can truly
00:40:23challenge
00:40:24Vail Hospital's
00:40:24dominance.
00:40:25Have no fear,
00:40:26Dr. Hart.
00:40:27With Adrian leading
00:40:28our team,
00:40:28we'll be three steps
00:40:29ahead of anything
00:40:31Vail attempts.
00:40:32Yes,
00:40:32but Vail
00:40:33has already
00:40:34implemented
00:40:34Adrian's
00:40:35breakthrough
00:40:36surgical
00:40:36procedure protocols.
00:40:38Yeah,
00:40:38about that.
00:40:40It's a preliminary
00:40:40version.
00:40:41If they continue
00:40:42to develop
00:40:42this approach
00:40:43without modification...
00:40:44Then what?
00:40:45A lot of deaths,
00:40:47a lot of lawsuits,
00:40:48a lot of patients
00:40:49could be harmed,
00:40:50or worse.
00:40:51These procedures
00:40:52weren't ready
00:40:52for widespread
00:40:53implementation
00:40:54without proper
00:40:54refinement.
00:40:56Those techniques
00:40:56require precise
00:40:57calibration
00:40:58and specialized
00:40:59training.
00:41:00Without that
00:41:01foundation...
00:41:02We're talking
00:41:02about serious
00:41:03complications.
00:41:05Preventable harm.
00:41:06Our first priority
00:41:06has to be
00:41:07patient safety.
00:41:08We need to
00:41:09perfect these
00:41:10procedures,
00:41:11and then we can
00:41:11find a way
00:41:12to prevent Vail
00:41:13from continuing
00:41:13with the flawed
00:41:15protocols.
00:41:16Exactly.
00:41:16It's not about
00:41:17competition or pride.
00:41:19It's about
00:41:19saving lives.
00:41:23We're using
00:41:24our experience
00:41:24with the trial
00:41:25procedures I did
00:41:26at Vail
00:41:26to develop
00:41:27next-generation
00:41:28surgical techniques
00:41:29eliminating all
00:41:31the previous
00:41:31complications
00:41:31and inefficiencies.
00:41:34Even if
00:41:35Vail Hospital
00:41:35analyzes our
00:41:36fundamental approach
00:41:37and attempts
00:41:38to create
00:41:38something new,
00:41:39we'll maintain
00:41:40our significant
00:41:41advantage.
00:41:43And if they
00:41:43stubbornly continue
00:41:44with their flawed
00:41:45protocols,
00:41:46rest assured,
00:41:48their outcomes
00:41:48will deteriorate.
00:41:50I don't wish it
00:41:50upon their patients,
00:41:51that's for sure.
00:41:53Remember this moment.
00:41:55In this battle
00:41:55for medical supremacy,
00:41:57Heart Medical Center
00:41:58will emerge
00:41:59victorious.
00:42:06It's 3 a.m.
00:42:08Lost track
00:42:09of time again.
00:42:16Viv,
00:42:16you surprised me.
00:42:19Looks like you
00:42:20could use a nice
00:42:21rub.
00:42:22Do you mind?
00:42:23No.
00:42:24I mean,
00:42:27yeah.
00:42:29Will you give
00:42:29all your surgeons
00:42:30massages?
00:42:32Only the ones
00:42:33I really,
00:42:33really like.
00:42:39You really,
00:42:41really like me?
00:42:42Adrienne,
00:42:42I've really,
00:42:43really liked you
00:42:44since residency.
00:42:46Nothing's changed.
00:42:47You were our most
00:42:49brilliant resident
00:42:50in the program.
00:42:52I never imagined
00:42:52someone like you
00:42:53would like me.
00:42:54There was never
00:42:54anyone else
00:42:55that got my attention.
00:42:57Only you.
00:43:00But you were
00:43:01completely oblivious.
00:43:03And then you just
00:43:04vanished from
00:43:05the program.
00:43:06Well,
00:43:07I left to join
00:43:07the Experimental
00:43:08Surgical Fellowship
00:43:09in Switzerland.
00:43:11I know.
00:43:14Your talent
00:43:14was extraordinary
00:43:15even then.
00:43:17Back then,
00:43:18I made a promise
00:43:19to myself
00:43:19that we would
00:43:20work together
00:43:20again someday.
00:43:22You know,
00:43:22when I established
00:43:23Heart Medical Center,
00:43:25my first priority
00:43:26was recruiting you.
00:43:28But that
00:43:28manipulative tyrant,
00:43:31Nelson Bale,
00:43:32had already secured
00:43:33your contracts
00:43:34with ridiculous
00:43:35incentives.
00:43:37I understand now.
00:43:45So?
00:43:47Should we pick up
00:43:49where we left off
00:43:50in residency?
00:43:51Here, the boss.
00:43:53That's right.
00:43:54And as your boss,
00:43:56I say,
00:43:57come home with me.
00:43:59Tonight?
00:43:59You lost everything
00:44:01when Preston fired you.
00:44:03Hospital privileges,
00:44:05research funding,
00:44:06even your hospital
00:44:09subsidized apartment.
00:44:10and you have literally
00:44:13nowhere else to go
00:44:14tonight.
00:44:16Come with me.
00:44:19Where?
00:44:21My place.
00:44:30All right.
00:44:31I'll admit it.
00:44:33That was the best meal
00:44:34I've had in months.
00:44:35Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:37I might start thinking
00:44:39you're easy to please.
00:44:40That just depends
00:44:41on the company.
00:44:42Well, starting tonight,
00:44:44this is your new home.
00:44:47Until the program's
00:44:48fully established,
00:44:49it just makes sense.
00:44:51Are you sure about that?
00:44:52We already work late hours.
00:44:55Living together
00:44:56could get complicated.
00:44:58Well, I like complicated.
00:45:01Keeps things interesting.
00:45:04And
00:45:04where exactly
00:45:06will I be sleeping?
00:45:07Well,
00:45:08my master suite
00:45:12has a
00:45:14California cape.
00:45:18Plenty of room.
00:45:21If things ever need to get
00:45:22more
00:45:23collaborative.
00:45:26Really?
00:45:28Relax.
00:45:29I'm only teasing.
00:45:31Tonight,
00:45:32at least.
00:45:34Come on.
00:45:37I'll show you
00:45:38your room.
00:45:41Unless you'd rather
00:45:42have a nightcap.
00:45:44And mine.
00:45:50Things could get dangerous.
00:45:52Is this pathetic attempt
00:45:58really the best
00:45:59that you can do?
00:46:04You are completely
00:46:05worthless as surgeons.
00:46:07Dr. Marksman,
00:46:08the experimental procedures
00:46:10we're trying to replicate here
00:46:11are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:13We need at least
00:46:14six months
00:46:15to properly master.
00:46:16Six months?
00:46:18You have 72 hours.
00:46:19and I expect hourly updates
00:46:21on my desk.
00:46:22Sir,
00:46:22rushing these
00:46:23delicate procedures
00:46:25dramatically increases
00:46:26the possibility
00:46:27of potentially fatal
00:46:28complications.
00:46:29Three days.
00:46:30Then you don't get
00:46:30one hour more.
00:46:32Go.
00:46:33Go.
00:46:37Report,
00:46:38Dr. Marksman.
00:46:39What's our status?
00:46:40Excellent progress,
00:46:41Mr. Vale.
00:46:42We will be advancing
00:46:43to phase two implementation
00:46:45within three days.
00:46:46That's exactly
00:46:47what I wanted to hear.
00:46:48I knew my judgment
00:46:49in appointing you
00:46:50was flawless.
00:46:56Preston,
00:46:57I need an update
00:46:57on the experimental
00:46:58surgery program.
00:47:00Everything's proceeding
00:47:01perfectly, Father.
00:47:02Outstanding.
00:47:03When this is done,
00:47:04I'll throw you
00:47:05a huge party
00:47:06to celebrate the launch.
00:47:08Your father must be
00:47:09so proud of you.
00:47:10Keep up the good work,
00:47:11Dr. Marksman.
00:47:12I'll make sure my father
00:47:14understands your
00:47:14invaluable contribution.
00:47:16This is my shot.
00:47:18Why settle
00:47:18for chief of surgery?
00:47:20With the right maneuvering,
00:47:20I could become
00:47:21the next chief medical officer
00:47:22of Vale Hospital.
00:47:24Mr. Vale,
00:47:26my purpose
00:47:26is to execute
00:47:27the visionary
00:47:28medical strategies
00:47:30of brilliant administrators
00:47:32such as yourself.
00:47:33I believe that
00:47:34in the position
00:47:35of chief medical officer,
00:47:37I could implement
00:47:37your ideas
00:47:38more effectively
00:47:39throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:41If these procedures
00:47:42prove successful,
00:47:43I will personally discuss
00:47:44your advancement
00:47:44with the board.
00:47:45Truly, that's...
00:47:47I am profoundly grateful,
00:47:50sir.
00:47:52You're finally awake.
00:48:11You can keep appreciating
00:48:17the view while you meet.
00:48:18All right.
00:48:20Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:21Looks good.
00:48:26When you're finished eating,
00:48:27we'll head directly
00:48:28to the surgical wing.
00:48:29Sound good?
00:48:30Yes.
00:48:32Absolutely.
00:48:33Good.
00:48:34Get it up and running,
00:48:36and there may be
00:48:37a special bonus
00:48:39waiting for you.
00:48:43Extra special.
00:48:44Okay, team.
00:48:53We're approaching
00:48:54a critical phase
00:48:55of our program development.
00:48:56We have groundbreaking
00:48:57procedures
00:48:58that we need to perfect
00:48:59in very little time,
00:49:01so let's get to it.
00:49:03Let's start
00:49:03revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:05I have excellent news
00:49:06for all of you.
00:49:07I've just finalized
00:49:08arrangements with the board,
00:49:09and upon successful
00:49:11implementation
00:49:12of our surgical innovations,
00:49:14each of you will receive
00:49:15a fully funded
00:49:17medical mission trip
00:49:18anywhere in the world
00:49:19that you choose
00:49:19to share your expertise.
00:49:21And when the time comes
00:49:23that our procedures
00:49:24receive national certification,
00:49:27every surgeon on this team
00:49:28will be gifted
00:49:29a percentage of the royalties
00:49:31from any techniques
00:49:32we patent.
00:49:34At Heart Medical Center,
00:49:37our surgeons
00:49:38are the lifeblood
00:49:39of our institution,
00:49:40and you will be
00:49:42compensated accordingly.
00:49:46Dr. Heart,
00:49:47we are fully committed
00:49:48to making this
00:49:49surgical program
00:49:50a success.
00:49:51Absolutely.
00:49:52You'll be seeing progress
00:49:53ASAP.
00:49:54Vail Hospital
00:49:55won't know what hit him.
00:49:56With Adrian leading us,
00:49:57victory's guaranteed.
00:49:59Heart is best!
00:50:00Heart is best!
00:50:01Heart is best!
00:50:02Heart is best!
00:50:03Heart is best!
00:50:33You always this disciplined?
00:50:38Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:41If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:44Midnight meetings.
00:50:47Long hours.
00:50:49This work ethic of yours.
00:50:52It's a little dangerous.
00:50:57That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:51:00Then they fired me.
00:51:03Then they were fools.
00:51:07You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:11You know that, right?
00:51:17You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:19I don't try.
00:51:24I do.
00:51:27Well, don't work too late.
00:51:33You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:42The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:47Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:49Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:54I give you one simple task, and you screw it up!
00:51:57How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:52:01Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,
00:52:05and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:08If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:12Is that clear?
00:52:14Yes, sir.
00:52:15This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:21Go.
00:52:27Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:29What a surprise.
00:52:30Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:33We're on schedule or not.
00:52:35Of course.
00:52:36We're just refining the final stages.
00:52:40Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:43Good.
00:52:44There's a problem.
00:52:45I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:46No cover-ups.
00:52:47Of course, sir.
00:52:50Mr. Vail.
00:52:51Not now.
00:52:52Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:58It, uh...
00:52:59Looks like Preston's growing a little cold
00:53:02on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:04Don't worry.
00:53:05When Preston makes me chief medical officer,
00:53:08I'm gonna need someone
00:53:09flexible in my corner.
00:53:12I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:22Today, Vail Hospital officially launched
00:53:24its highly anticipated
00:53:25next-generation surgical program.
00:53:28This cutting-edge approach to surgical care
00:53:30is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:33especially as Heart Medical's competing program
00:53:36was released on the same day.
00:53:38The question now is,
00:53:39who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:43Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:45Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:48I hope you're right.
00:53:50For your sake.
00:53:54Didn't you say that, uh,
00:53:56if the rollout went well,
00:53:57that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:54:00It's not a success.
00:54:02Yet.
00:54:04Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:07Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:09it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:54:11for a long time.
00:54:12Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:27Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:31That soon?
00:54:32They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:37It's a good thing we're headed.
00:54:38You're saying we're ready?
00:54:42Why would I lie?
00:54:44We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:46Let him celebrate.
00:54:48It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:49How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:53Viv, do you remember what I told you
00:54:54when you first brought me here?
00:54:58Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:59He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:01And?
00:55:02Their model's flawed.
00:55:03If they keep moving forward
00:55:05without realizing their structural failure
00:55:07and their approach,
00:55:08we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:11And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:13Then Heart Medical takes over
00:55:14as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:17So you're saying that Vail Hospital
00:55:19has been refining the prototype surgical method
00:55:21that you designed?
00:55:23It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:26They're using an early draft
00:55:27full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:29They don't even realize
00:55:32the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:34That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:37Which means we've already won.
00:55:40Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:42We should celebrate.
00:55:44What do you have in mind?
00:55:45Drinks?
00:55:46Not quite.
00:55:47You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:50What?
00:55:52Why?
00:55:53Let me worry about that.
00:55:55In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout,
00:55:57finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:55:58and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:16Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:20I know where I'm headed in life,
00:56:21and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:23Tonight, at this launch party,
00:56:27celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:31just at the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:34will you marry me?
00:56:39You should be fun.
00:56:44Absolutely.
00:56:45You really know how to take care of yourself, Mr. Vail?
00:56:48Oh, stop it.
00:56:50Too bad you're taken.
00:56:50Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:56:53Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:54Told her, meet me out here
00:56:55so we can go to this party together.
00:56:57Forget about her.
00:56:59She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:01We'll show you a better time.
00:57:03Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:08Let's go.
00:57:08Fiona who?
00:57:09Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:14The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:39Please try again later.
00:57:40It's 20 in one day.
00:58:06All clean, all stable.
00:58:09The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:12You did it.
00:58:14No.
00:58:15We did it.
00:58:18Dr. Marksman,
00:58:20you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:22You're already late.
00:58:23I need a change there.
00:58:24You don't have time.
00:58:25Where's Vivian?
00:58:27Taking care of something.
00:58:29She said it's really important that you be there,
00:58:31and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:33Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:39What 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.
00:59:04God 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.
00:59:10Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:32It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:37Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:38What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:42You weren't invited.
00:59:43You're so sure about that?
00:59:44I mean, look at you.
00:59:45This is a black tie.
00:59:47I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:51Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:55The failed surgeon.
00:59:57The fraud.
00:59:58The nobody.
01:00:00Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:03Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
01:00:06Guess I 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.
01:00:13What 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.
01:00:28Got some nerve talking to my man, Marksman, like that.
01:00:31A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:34You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:36Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:38When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:45What are you talking about?
01:00:48Identity theft.
01:00:50Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:52Yours?
01:00:54Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:56If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:01:00Speaking from experience.
01:01:01Look around you.
01:01:05This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:07The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:09Just 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.
01:01:26Kick him out.
01:01:27Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:31I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:35What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:37Grab him.
01:01:52Preston.
01:01:53What the hell is this?
01:01:56Dad.
01:01:57Relax.
01:01:58I, uh...
01:01:58Relax?
01:02:00This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:02I was just kicking him out.
01:02:03Guards, remove him immediately.
01:02:05President Bale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:07You get out of my way.
01:02:10Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:10This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:15You are such a fool!
01:02:18Dad.
01:02:19What are you doing?
01:02:21Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:23This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:27You are a...
01:02:28You are a...
01:02:30Disgraced!
01:02:31Dad!
01:02:33My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:37Into a...
01:02:38Dad!
01:02:41Dad!
01:02:45Dad!
01:02:46President Bale, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:51Are you out of your mind?
01:02:52He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:54Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:56I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:58Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:00David!
01:03:01David!
01:03:01It's cold!
01:03:03It's cold!
01:03:08Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:10Blanking?
01:03:11Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:12Shut up!
01:03:14Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:16This is ridiculous.
01:03:17I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:20You're just standing there.
01:03:21Do something!
01:03:24What's the matter, David?
01:03:25David, if you need help, just ask.
01:03:28All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:30Right here, right now.
01:03:33I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:35What if I kill him?
01:03:37I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:40I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:42I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:45David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:48Let it go!
01:03:51I...
01:03:52I...
01:03:53I can't!
01:03:56I can't do this.
01:03:57Okay, I can't...
01:04:00I can't do this.
01:04:02I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:08That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:10He stole it from me.
01:04:11Okay, okay.
01:04:21I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:25Okay.
01:04:28I gotta, I gotta...
01:04:30Here, take it, take it, take 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.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:51Okay.
01:04:53Great.
01:04:53Oh.
01:04:55Oh, thank God.
01:05:01How are you doing?
01:05:02Let it out.
01:05:03All right, thank you.
01:05:06Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:10Surgical genius.
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.
01:05:30Then 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, hey, why don't you come back
01:05:46when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:47That 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.
01:06:07My handwriting.
01:06:09My theories.
01:06:10I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:14I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories
01:06:17as innovation.
01:06:18And when it fails,
01:06:20then it will.
01:06:23You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:26The patients will.
01:06:27You can't prove that.
01:06:28Not yet.
01:06:30But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:33Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:37Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:41We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:42Second patient today.
01:06:44Same issue.
01:06:45Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:47These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:49The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:52I mean, come on.
01:06:53Tonight proves it.
01:06:55We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:05I'll be right back.
01:07:07Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:11Talk to me.
01:07:12The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:15This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:19Use the compression step.
01:07:22That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:24We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:27Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:29I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.
01:07:35Not mass implementation.
01:07:38Without calibration.
01:07:40It's unstable.
01:07:41It's dangerous.
01:07:42They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:45Now people are paying for it.
01:07:48All good?
01:07:50Of course.
01:07:51Just routine coordination.
01:07:52Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:57Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:59And patients are suffering.
01:08:01You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:02You wouldn't know?
01:08:03Yeah, I would know.
01:08:05Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:08And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:13Oh, shit.
01:08:14Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:22Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:26Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:29Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:32because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:37No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:40with selective hepatic arterial ligation.
01:08:43Followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:46using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:51Yes.
01:08:53Yes.
01:08:56How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:59His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:02You stole his methods.
01:09:04This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:09Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:10Then prove me wrong.
01:09:11Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:14Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:20He was fired.
01:09:21Humiliated.
01:09:22You're right, I was fired.
01:09:23And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:29Yeah, you know what?
01:09:30This is pathetic.
01:09:31He's just jealous.
01:09:33He missed his shot.
01:09:34Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:35When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:39Well, even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:43I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:46I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:10:00And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:08Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:11You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:16The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:19Dad, 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.
01:10:29And you've disgraced them both.
01:10:32Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:35Because of his lies.
01:10:39You saved me.
01:10:41You saved Nelson.
01:10:42And now, you can save Vale.
01:10:45I tried to warn you all.
01:10:47No one listened.
01:10:48Well, they're listening now.
01:10:50You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:55And probably even more than me.
01:10:58It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:01Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:06They weren't ready.
01:11:08They needed supervision.
01:11:10Precision.
01:11:12Development.
01:11:13Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:11:16Oh.
01:11:17You can't prove that.
01:11:18Security footage.
01:11:23Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:28Already submitted to the board.
01:11:29I built on what he started.
01:11:33Okay?
01:11:34I didn't steal.
01:11:36I enhanced it.
01:11:38Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:41You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:43He did more than that.
01:11:45He put lives at risk.
01:11:47To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:51We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:54This is absurd.
01:11:56This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:58Oh, it's your night.
01:12:00It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:02You lied to me.
01:12:04I didn't lie.
01:12:05I simplified the truth.
01:12:07Simplify?
01:12:09You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:13You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:16You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:19That's malpractice.
01:12:21They worked.
01:12:22Nelson's alive.
01:12:23Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:25Yeah, because of me.
01:12:27Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:32Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:35Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:37I tested them for years.
01:12:40It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:42Not without training.
01:12:44You're rewriting history?
01:12:46No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:49Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:52And without him, it won't.
01:12:56This is absurd!
01:12:57You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:13:00He's not disgraced, son.
01:13:03You are.
01:13:05You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:08And then when your ego wasn't enough,
01:13:11you propped up this fraud.
01:13:15Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:17I'm your son.
01:13:18I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:21And so will the board.
01:13:22We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:26Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:31Suspended?
01:13:32No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:33You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:35We understand the liability.
01:13:37That's enough.
01:13:40Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:45Dad, you're not going to let him drag me out like this.
01:13:48I'm your son.
01:13:49No, don't you touch me.
01:13:50You're not a child.
01:13:51Hey, Dad!
01:13:53I'm your son.
01:13:53I built that.
01:13:54They're just getting spots out of the...
01:13:56Dad, I'm going to let him do something, please.
01:13:57No, get off me.
01:13:58Mind you to sit on over?
01:13:59I'm not a child!
01:14:00You're not my responsibility.
01:14:02Oh.
01:14:09Trim, please.
01:14:10I made a mistake.
01:14:12I see that now.
01:14:13I should have believed in you.
01:14:14I should have stood by you.
01:14:15You were right about everything.
01:14:21Just give me a second chance.
01:14:24Please.
01:14:25I still love you.
01:14:28Love?
01:14:29You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:33You don't understand.
01:14:35I thought he was finished.
01:14:37I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:39So you sold him out.
01:14:41Mocked him.
01:14:42Over and over again.
01:14:44I was scared.
01:14:46I...
01:14:46I didn't know what to do.
01:14:48Oh, you knew.
01:14:49You just didn't care.
01:14:51Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:55Please.
01:14:57Say something.
01:15:00Anything.
01:15:01You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:02And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:13You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:18And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:24The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:29And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:33We're rebuilding.
01:15:35And I want you back.
01:15:36As Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:42I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:44You had your chance, too.
01:15:46I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:49Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:53Adrian 2.0.
01:15:55I'm not coming, man.
01:15:56You're choosing her?
01:16:00Our rival?
01:16:02You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:04I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:08Just typical.
01:16:10Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:16She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:19Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:23Get me out of here.
01:16:25Now!
01:16:29Oh!
01:16:38Karma has good timing.
01:16:44Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:50We have lives to save.
01:16:52Hey!
01:16:53Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:58I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:03Now?
01:17:04Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:06Okay.
01:17:06Okay.
01:17:06Okay.
01:17:06Okay.
01:17:06Okay.
01:17:06Okay.
01:17:06Okay.
01:17:07Okay.
01:17:07Okay.
01:17:08Okay.
01:17:09Okay.
01:17:10Okay.
01:17:11Okay.
01:17:12Okay.
01:17:13Okay.
01:17:14And this is what victory tastes like.
01:17:17It's not bad.
01:17:19I need a second opinion.
01:17:23Well, I've got all night, and you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated
01:17:28my genius surgeon.
01:17:30Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:33You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:36But I am very thorough.
01:17:43getting fired was the best thing
01:17:47that ever happened to me
01:17:48what
