You Fired A Genius Surgeon
Transcript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city,
00:00:05sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team,
00:00:15their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:25Sir, 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 ER.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:00:59The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:17Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:19Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:23That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:25Bovey Cottery.
00:01:26Watch.
00:01:27He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:29The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:30But how did he...?
00:01:31Tilk suture.
00:01:32Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:36I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:37Almost done.
00:01:38I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:39Almost done.
00:01:40No.
00:01:41No.
00:01:42Oh, no.
00:01:43What's wrong?
00:01:44You're over here.
00:01:45Not doing anything like this.
00:01:46I'm just not doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:47You're bleeding.
00:01:48It's under control.
00:01:49But how did he...?
00:01:51Tilk suture.
00:01:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:01I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:23Jesus, Adrian, what you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that, that was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where 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 Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:53Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you, you actually did.
00:03:14Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:16Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Bale, my hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:43I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:04:13They're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:37All right, it's time for some much-needed Shad-Eye.
00:04:57Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What 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.
00:05:25Blueberry.
00:05:26Your favorite.
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:30You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:37I 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, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a 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?
00:06:26Preston Bale.
00:06:27Preston Bale's son.
00:06:28Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about last...
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.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:02Attention, everybody's attention, now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who does he think he is, Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:41That was for my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:07:48and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make 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?
00:08:04That 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?
00:08:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:18Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27Yes, but here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired.
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700,000?
00:08:57Are 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.
00:09:04I just worked all night.
00:09:06Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons,
00:09:18or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together,
00:09:24but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32These credentials...
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:38Dr. Marksman.
00:09:42You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:46Fire.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51Or get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:54This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57Or...
00:09:58I see.
00:10:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who...
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:15Beat it.
00:10:16Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:19Okay.
00:10:28I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42Look, I know it's only been a month,
00:10:43but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:58Do you care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned
00:11:17with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:19Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:26I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody
00:11:32collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks,
00:11:39including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators
00:11:47need to be reminded
00:11:48who's in charge around here.
00:11:50Hey, Dad.
00:11:59What's wrong?
00:12:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:02She'll be okay,
00:12:03but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And, Preston,
00:12:08there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:11That new surgeon,
00:12:13Dr. Marksman,
00:12:14whatever happens,
00:12:15make sure you take care of him.
00:12:17Dr. Marksman?
00:12:18Dr. Marksman,
00:12:19you're fucking fired.
00:12:21Get out of my hospital.
00:12:23Christ.
00:12:24The resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston?
00:12:28Are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:32See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:34I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:40He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life,
00:12:42and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:55Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman,
00:13:01pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:04Two-time Florence Nightingale,
00:13:05medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:08Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:10Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:11That's our man.
00:13:12There's another surgeon with the same last name
00:13:14who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:17Negligent, lazy,
00:13:18you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor.
00:13:20Fire him.
00:13:22Already done, Dad.
00:13:23I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:26Thank God.
00:13:27Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:32I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh...
00:13:36Just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:45See?
00:13:46I told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:50Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:55Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:57Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:59The six-car pileup.
00:14:00You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:01What's your point?
00:14:02ER is crashing.
00:14:04We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:11Give me the situation.
00:14:13Now!
00:14:14Six critical traumas,
00:14:16three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries,
00:14:19arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:20We're losing patients.
00:14:22What are our options?
00:14:23There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here...
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the man we need.
00:14:34Fiona, call him.
00:14:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:39The one I didn't fire.
00:14:40Keep up.
00:14:41What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:48Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:48Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:07Mmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:12These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:14Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:22Hello?
00:15:24Dr. Marksman?
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:29there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:32I'm on my way.
00:15:33With Adrian's techniques,
00:15:38I'll look like a genius.
00:15:40They'll make me department head.
00:15:42And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:51Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:15:54Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:07Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:09I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:12You're my future.
00:16:14That's my girl.
00:16:15Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:25the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:28To hell with this.
00:16:29I'm going up.
00:16:30I'm going up.
00:16:30Piece of shit.
00:16:50Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:53Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:56You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:58can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:17:03with this incompetent Nepo baby?
00:17:05I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:26We're done, Adrian.
00:17:28Ancient history.
00:17:30Are you serious?
00:17:32Just like that.
00:17:34Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:39Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:41Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:43I need someone with a future.
00:17:44Not someone who sleeps while patience are dying.
00:17:51Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:54It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:57Oh, look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:18:09Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:12You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:14Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:16I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:18Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:18:20I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:31President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:35We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:46You can count on that.
00:18:47No, no, no.
00:18:51Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:53Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:59He'll authorize you to be here.
00:19:01Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:13Ah, yes.
00:19:13The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:20These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:40Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:50Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:01When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:04Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:07Oh.
00:20:09Amazing.
00:20:10I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:26Well, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:29Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:35State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:36And if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:20:39His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:45Have my car brought round.
00:20:46And I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:48And Adrian Marksman?
00:20:51He's leaving with me.
00:20:53I'm going to Vail Hospital.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:07The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:09Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:11This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:15And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me.
00:21:23The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:29If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:46What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to the police.
00:21:54For criminal negligence.
00:21:56Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now, or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:09Fine.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:18You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:22Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:39I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:50Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:52Do you know what that means?
00:22:54It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:22:58I have one question before I go.
00:23:03Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:06My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:23:15Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:20Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:21That's quite enough.
00:23:37Let him go.
00:23:40Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:50You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:56That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:18Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:22Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:24:29Dr. Hart, with all due respect.
00:24:33This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:24:39Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:47I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, doctor...
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:24:55After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:02His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:11Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:19Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:24He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:34His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:46Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I've...
00:26:05Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:26:11and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:16And cash.
00:26:45Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:51Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:53I mean what I say.
00:27:01Chief of surgery?
00:27:05You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:09Dr. Heart, have you completely lost your medical judgment, or are you on drugs?
00:27:15This is absurd.
00:27:16He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:19And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:24Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:27Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:32This isn't about money.
00:27:36Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:40She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:43She can't do that.
00:27:44Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:47At Heart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:27:52Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:27:57And I don't mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:03Dr. Heart, 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.
00:28:12My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:15Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:18His exact words.
00:28:20Negligence, Serge.
00:28:22What are those?
00:28:23Personal gifts from your father.
00:28:30My fellowship offer.
00:28:32My personal research lab.
00:28:35My surgical team.
00:28:36I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:39You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:49You know what?
00:28:50Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:51You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:55The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:28:58Oh.
00:28:59Your stupidity.
00:29:01It's just astonishing.
00:29:04You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:08This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:10Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:20Look, 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.
00:29:26Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:31Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:35Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:37How pathetically desperate.
00:29:40Oh.
00:29:40A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:46How dare you talk to me like that?
00:29:49Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:55As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:30:02And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:05Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:13That accusation isn't just baseness.
00:30:15It's absurd.
00:30:16What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:30:19You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:21Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:24If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:30We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:34If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:42Let's go.
00:30:44One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.
00:30:56Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:02David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:04The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:09This is, this is extraordinary.
00:31:11I, thank you.
00:31:13I, uh, I, I am honored beyond words.
00:31:17Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:20Don't worry, babe.
00:31:21You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:25How exciting.
00:31:28Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:34Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
00:31:37Six critical patients incoming.
00:31:39Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:31:41Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:43Shit, I'm screwed.
00:31:44Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:31:48If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:53I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:31:59These techniques are revolutionary.
00:32:01I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:04It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:09No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:32:10I trust your brilliance.
00:32:12Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:14With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:18Hospital expansion.
00:32:21Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:30Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:32Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:40Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43Well, sorry.
00:32:45Who's this?
00:32:49Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:50President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:53I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:32:57Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:00Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:06Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:09This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:33:13Now, just...
00:33:14What is that conniving bitch plotting?
00:33:22She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:26Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:33:31Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:43Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:46Dad, relax.
00:33:48I fired the other one, that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:52Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:34:00Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:05It's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:09I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:13When in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:17So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:25That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:27Impressive, son.
00:34:29You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:32I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:33I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:40Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.
00:34:44We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:45We're going to expose Hart Medical Center.
00:34:49For the low-grade institution it truly is, their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:34:57I won't let you down.
00:34:59Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:04Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:06Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:35:10I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:16Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:21You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:23Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:25Exactly.
00:35:26And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:36As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:42Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:52All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:35:59So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:11It's not bad.
00:36:13It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:15What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:21It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:24You too.
00:36:25We need to expand.
00:36:28It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:31Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:36:40We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:43And I always find the best one.
00:36:53I'm going to start recruiting.
00:36:55Good.
00:36:58The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:16This better be good.
00:37:18Mr. Vale?
00:37:20You wanted to see me?
00:37:21My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:30Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:36Mr. Vale, I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue with that?
00:37:39No, absolutely not.
00:37:41The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vale has already handed control
00:37:46to his son?
00:37:48If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:53Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.
00:37:57I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:02Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:04Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:07The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:09What?
00:38:10They both resigned at once?
00:38:11What was their explanation?
00:38:12They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:14But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician, along with the three
00:38:18other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:19Former physician Adrian Marksman.
00:38:21This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:24Preston, what is our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:29If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:31Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:35You still have me.
00:38:37I can rebuild this department.
00:38:40Ah, yes.
00:38:41With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:44Exactly.
00:38:46So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:48Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:38:56Good work, Marksman.
00:39:00This is working out perfectly.
00:39:02Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:05Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:26It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:38This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:39He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:41And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:44This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:49All consummate professionals.
00:39:51My most trusted colleagues back at Vale.
00:39:53With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:03Actually, the whole world.
00:40:05We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:07Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:09I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:17We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vale Hospital's dominance.
00:40:23Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:24With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vale attempts.
00:40:29Yes, but Vale has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:40:35Yeah, about that.
00:40:37It's a preliminary version.
00:40:39If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:40:41Then what?
00:40:42A lot of deaths.
00:40:44A lot of lawsuits.
00:40:46A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:40:47Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:40:53Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.
00:40:57Without that foundation...
00:40:59We're talking about serious complications.
00:41:02Preventable harm.
00:41:03Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:06We need to perfect these procedures.
00:41:08And then we can find a way to prevent Vale from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:13Exactly.
00:41:14It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:16It's about saving lives.
00:41:17We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vale to develop next-generation surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:31Even if Vale Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:39And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this moment.
00:41:52In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:04It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track of time again.
00:42:09Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:16Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:19Do you mind?
00:42:21No.
00:42:23I mean, yeah.
00:42:26Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:29Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:37You really, really like me?
00:42:39Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:43Nothing's changed.
00:42:45You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:42:49I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:51There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:54Only you.
00:42:57But you were completely oblivious.
00:42:59And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:02Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:07I know.
00:43:10Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:43:14Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:19You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:24But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:33I understand now.
00:43:42So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:48You're the boss.
00:43:49That's right.
00:43:50And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:57You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:00Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:17My place.
00:44:23Hmm.
00:44:27All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends on the company.
00:44:39Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's fully established, it just...
00:44:47Makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure about that?
00:44:49We already work late hours.
00:44:52Living together...
00:44:54Could get complicated.
00:44:56Well, I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things interesting.
00:45:01And...
00:45:02Where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well...
00:45:05My master suite has a California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room.
00:45:18If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:27I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight.
00:45:29At least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you your room.
00:45:38Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:41Things could get dangerous.
00:45:54Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:45:56You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:04Dr. Marksman.
00:46:05The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:10We need at least six months to properly master...
00:46:12Six months?
00:46:14You have 72 hours.
00:46:16And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:19Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26Then you don't get one hour more.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:30Go.
00:46:34Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:39We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:49Cruston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:05Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:15Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:44I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:48:06You're finally awake.
00:48:07You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:16All right.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:22When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:30Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:52We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it and start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:03I'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.
00:49:17And 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.
00:49:31At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:47Absolutely.
00:49:48You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:49:52With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:55Hart is best!
00:49:56Hart is best!
00:49:57Hart is best!
00:49:59Hart is best!
00:50:00Hart is best!
00:50:24Hart is best!
00:50:28You always this disciplined?
00:50:34Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:37If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:41Midnight meetings.
00:50:43Long hours.
00:50:46This work ethic of yours.
00:50:49It's a little dangerous.
00:50:53That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:56Then they fired me.
00:50:58Then they were fools.
00:51:04You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:07You know that, right?
00:51:13You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:16I don't try.
00:51:20I do.
00:51:24Well, don't work too late.
00:51:26You're no good to me, Burned Out.
00:51:31The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:44Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:51:46Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:51I give you one simple task and you screw it up.
00:51:55How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:59Vail General Hospital is the gold standard.
00:52:02And you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:05If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:10Is that clear?
00:52:11Yes, sir.
00:52:12This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:16Go.
00:52:18Go.
00:52:25Mr. Vail, what a surprise.
00:52:28Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:30Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:32Of course.
00:52:34We're just refining the final stages.
00:52:38Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:41But there's a problem.
00:52:42I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:43No cover-ups.
00:52:44Of course, sir.
00:52:48Mr. Vail.
00:52:49Not now.
00:52:50Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:52It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:02Don't worry.
00:53:03When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:12Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:35The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:40Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:42Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:45I hope you're right.
00:53:47For your sake.
00:53:51Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:57It's not a success.
00:53:59Yet.
00:54:02Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:04Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:09Dr. Hurt, we, um, have a problem.
00:54:25Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:28That soon?
00:54:29They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:32It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:54:36You're saying we're ready?
00:54:40Why would I lie?
00:54:41We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:44Let him celebrate.
00:54:45It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:46How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:50Bib, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:55Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:57He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:59And?
00:54:59Their model's flawed.
00:55:01If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:06we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:09And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:10Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:20It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:23They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:27They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:31That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:35Which means we've already won.
00:55:38Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:40We should celebrate.
00:55:41What do you have in mind?
00:55:42Drinks?
00:55:43Not quite.
00:55:44You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:49Why?
00:55:50Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:54Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:57And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:14Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:17I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:21Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:28It's like the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:56:37It should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:42You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:46Stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:49Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:52Told her, meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:55Forget about her.
00:56:56She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:59We'll show you a better time.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:04Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:06Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:12Let me get to the door.
00:57:13The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please try again later.
00:57:38It's 20 in one day.
00:58:04All clean.
00:58:05All stable.
00:58:06The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No.
00:58:12We didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change there.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:23Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:30Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:36What the fuck?
00:58:53You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:55I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:58God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:01So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:59:05Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:32Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:35What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You're so sure about that?
00:59:39I mean, look at you.
00:59:40This is a black tie.
00:59:42I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:44Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:50The failed surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:58Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:01Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:03Pardon me.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:05Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:18I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:22Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:26The genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:29You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:31Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:33When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:41What are you talking about?
01:00:43Identity theft?
01:00:45Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:47Yours?
01:00:48Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:51If you don't got it, you just act like you do.
01:00:54Speaking from experience.
01:00:57Look around you.
01:00:59This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:02The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:04Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:09Good.
01:01:09I'm glad.
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:13Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:15That's enough.
01:01:16Guards!
01:01:18This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:21Kick him out.
01:01:23Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:26I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:32Grab him.
01:01:47Preston!
01:01:48What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:55This twat came in on invite.
01:01:56I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards!
01:01:58Remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:02You get out of my way!
01:02:04Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:05This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:09You are such a fool!
01:02:13Dad!
01:02:14What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:23Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:28My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vail, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:45Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:48Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:51I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:53Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56You're cold!
01:02:58It's cold!
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blanking?
01:03:06Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:07Shut up!
01:03:08Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:11This is ridiculous.
01:03:12I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:14Are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:19What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:26Right now.
01:03:28I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:30What if I kill him?
01:03:32I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:34I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:39David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go.
01:03:45I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I can't.
01:03:51I can't do this.
01:03:53Okay, I can't.
01:03:55I can't do this.
01:03:56I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:13Okay, okay.
01:04:15I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:20I got it, I got it, I got it.
01:04:25Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Pretty.
01:04:49Four.
01:04:50Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let out.
01:05:02Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:04Surgical genius.
01:05:07That's how Val makes history.
01:05:08Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:11Or at least a new department.
01:05:12If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:17Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:19That maneuver, that notebook.
01:05:24It's mine.
01:05:25Then tell them.
01:05:30Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional.
01:05:54Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:57The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:00That's mine.
01:06:02My handwriting.
01:06:03My theories.
01:06:05You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:08I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails,
01:06:15and it will,
01:06:18you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:23Not yet.
01:06:25But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:36We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:37Second patient today.
01:06:38Same issue.
01:06:39Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:42These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:43The fail method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:47I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:59I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:03Talk to me.
01:07:03Talk to me.
01:07:06The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:10This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:14Use the compression step.
01:07:15That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:18We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:23I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:32Without calibration.
01:07:35It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:36They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:41All good?
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:48Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:52Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know.
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:03And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:07Oh, shit.
01:08:14Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:17Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:19Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:23Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:32No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation,
01:08:38followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:49How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:54This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:56You stole his methods.
01:08:58This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:04Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:05Then prove me wrong.
01:09:07Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:12Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15He humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, I was fired.
01:09:17And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:24Yeah, you know what?
01:09:24This is pathetic.
01:09:26He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:28Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:33Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:41I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator and thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:02Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:10The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:15Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:27Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:30Because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:36And now, you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all.
01:10:42No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now.
01:10:45You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:50And probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision.
01:11:05Precision.
01:11:05Development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage.
01:11:18Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal.
01:11:30I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:35You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:40He put lives at risk.
01:11:41To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:45We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:48This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:52Oh, it's your night.
01:11:54It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:56You lied to me.
01:11:57You lied to me.
01:11:59I didn't lie.
01:12:00I simplified the truth.
01:12:02Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:08You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:11You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:21Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:12:31I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:48And without him, it won't.
01:12:50This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:58You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:09Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:12I'm your son.
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:16And so will the board.
01:13:17We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:31That's enough.
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale.
01:13:36Dr. David Marksman.
01:13:38Come with us.
01:13:40Dad.
01:13:41You're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No.
01:13:44Don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey, Dad!
01:13:47I'm your side belt, Dad!
01:13:49You're just getting some son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:51Do something, please!
01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52I'm just...
01:13:53I'm not a child!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:13:56I'm not my ability.
01:14:03Trim, please.
01:14:05I made a mistake.
01:14:06I see that now.
01:14:07I should have believed in you.
01:14:09I should have stood by you.
01:14:11You were right about everything.
01:14:12Just give me a second chance.
01:14:18Please.
01:14:20I still love you.
01:14:23Love?
01:14:24You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:27You don't understand.
01:14:29I thought he was finished.
01:14:32I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:33So you sold him out.
01:14:35Mocked him.
01:14:37Over and over again.
01:14:39I was scared.
01:14:40I...
01:14:41I didn't know what to do.
01:14:42Oh, you knew.
01:14:44You just didn't care.
01:14:45Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:49Please.
01:14:51Say something.
01:14:54Anything.
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:57And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:01You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:13And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:19The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:23And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:27We're rebuilding.
01:15:29And I want you back.
01:15:31As Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:36I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:48Adrian 2.0.
01:15:49I'm not coming back.
01:15:53You're choosing her?
01:15:55Our rival?
01:15:56You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:58I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:03Just typical.
01:16:05Just when you had your moment, you turn your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:10She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:14Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:16Get me out of here.
01:16:18Now!
01:16:19Now!
01:16:20Cormac has good timing.
01:16:38Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey!
01:16:48Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:58Well, just in a time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:13I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:19And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:26You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:30But I am very thorough.
01:17:39Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:56The second one after this.
01:17:57Watch the last two.
01:17:58Next one after this.
01:17:58But I saw that.
01:18:00But the next one after…
01:18:01All vide eran
01:18:02And they made it clear.
01:18:04I did...
01:18:05And a long day they did treat me.
01:18:05And of course they asked about my MC.
01:18:07I was not to be afraid yet.
01:18:09And of course they came to me.
01:18:11And of course I did.
01:18:14But I already did...
01:18:16Ladін
