Short filmTranscript
00:00:01A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients
00:00:07flooding 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've got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:30We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55What? Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 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?
00:01:15That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Metz and bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours.
00:01:27The patient won't survive.
00:01:28All right, Bobby Cotterie.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding.
00:01:43It's under control.
00:01:44But how did he...
00:01:47Tilk 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.
00:02:24Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but...
00:02:30That...
00:02:31That 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.
00:02:39I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:46Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:02Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you...
00:03:10You actually did.
00:03:14Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,
00:03:20that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:23You...
00:03:24You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Bale.
00:03:31My 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 gonna take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:04:01Good work, everyone.
00:04:21You're all stable.
00:04:22Every single one of them.
00:04:24Stabilized.
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.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
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.
00:05:25Blueberry.
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.
00:05:37I know it's only been a month, but it 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.
00:06:01I 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.
00:06:15What 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, Preston Bale's son, Harvard 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 that...
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:50Parker, you 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.
00:07:05Attention.
00:07:07Everybody's attention now.
00:07:08If 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's he thinking he is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save 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 from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:50you'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, just to show her how grateful we are for her
00:07:58time here.
00:07:59Yes, 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.
00:08:19Superstar.
00:08:21Superstar.
00:08:24Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But 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?
00:08:45He's...
00:08:47a 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?
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?
00:09:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but 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.
00:09:32His credentials...
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:40Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:48Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51You'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:54This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical law.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57What?
00:10:04I 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.
00:10:16Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:38I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:48I'll be waiting.
00:10:57You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05If the board won't like this, four attendings dismissed in one day, patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:18Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:24Really.
00:11:25I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:28Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:30Do you want to be with the nobody, collecting unemployment checks, or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks, even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's in charge around here?
00:11:58Hey, dad.
00:11:59What's wrong?
00:12:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:02Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:03She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course, what is it?
00:12:11That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:17Dr. Marksman?
00:12:18Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:21Get out of my hospital.
00:12:22Christ, the resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston, are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:31Um, see if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:12:36I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:39He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:55Ah, yes, I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:04Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal 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 who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:17Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor, fire him.
00:13:22Already done, dad.
00:13:24I 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, just take care of mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:45See?
00:13:46Told 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.
00:14:31If we can get him back here.
00:14:33Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:34That'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.
00:14:46What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:49No.
00:15:03Idiot left his research notes.
00:15:07Mmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:12These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:16Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:22Hello?
00:15:23Dr. 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.
00:15:36With 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.
00:15:44And 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.
00:16:03Now, 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.
00:16:22Beyond 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.
00:16:45Piece of shit.
00:16:49Get your hand on 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?
00:17:04I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:25We're done, Adrian.
00:17:28Ancient history.
00:17:29Are you serious?
00:17:39I'm not doing this, Fiona.
00:17:41Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:46Well, patience are dying.
00:17:51Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:54It's the closest...
00:18:01Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:18:05And you?
00:18:09Just a slacker.
00:18:11And scrubs.
00:18:12You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:14Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:15I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:18Fiona, I met you here,
00:18:19and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:18:28who lied about their credentials?
00:18:31President Vail would never have hired someone
00:18:33who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am,
00:18:42there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:46You can count on that.
00:18:50No, no, no.
00:18:51Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:53Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:59Who authorized you to be here?
00:19:01Mr. Vail,
00:19:02I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:04we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:06from the multi-car accident,
00:19:08and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:10You'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
00:19:24for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:28I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail,
00:19:31I've identified who's responsible
00:19:33for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping
00:19:37while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:39Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:50Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:19:55that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:19:58he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:01When?
00:20:03Less 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
00:20:12when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With our respect,
00:20:20we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:24even consider joining us?
00:20:26We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:28Full department autonomy.
00:20:31Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:36And if necessary,
00:20:37my personal involvement.
00:20:40His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:44Have my car brought round.
00:20:46I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:49And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:51he's leaving with me.
00:20:59Alphysons.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Don'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,
00:21:16which happened in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:22you blame me?
00:21:24The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:26isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:30If you were even half the surgeon
00:21:31that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here
00:21:36and debate medicine with you
00:21:38in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:39Security, please detain him.
00:21:46What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:51or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:53for criminal negligence.
00:21:55Adrian, I never realized
00:21:57you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now
00:22:04or we'll do everything in the power
00:22:05to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:08Fine.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:14holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:18You really underestimate
00:22:20my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:23Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:25can end your entire career
00:22:26with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:29that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all, he'll be a danger
00:22:32to 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.
00:22:40I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted
00:22:47from Vail Hospital
00:22:48and 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
00:22:57in this country again.
00:23:00I have one question before I go.
00:23:03Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:05My father's the one who asked me to fire you,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:14didn't you?
00:23:15Security, remove this criminal
00:23:17from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:20Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:37Let him go.
00:23:40Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:43as Chief of Surgical Innovation
00:23:45at Hart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:51You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart
00:23:53from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:55That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:59Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:24:03like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon
00:24:09in the country, of course.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:19Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:22Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence,
00:24:27not petty politics.
00:24:30Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:24:33This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence.
00:24:39Dr. Hart, I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman represents
00:24:43a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:47I don't believe I requested
00:24:48your medical opinion, Dr....
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment.
00:24:57After he decided to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:02His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:10Are you really willing to defend someone
00:25:13who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult with your father
00:25:17before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:24He's the one who specifically mentioned
00:25:26his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:29Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:34His exact words were,
00:25:36remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:40This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:43The President wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:44a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations were professional courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way things work at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing more to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider joining
00:26:00Heart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I've...
00:26:05Full department autonomy,
00:26:07protected research time,
00:26:09a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:26:11and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:45And cash.
00:26:46Dr. Marksman,
00:26:47I want you to revolutionize
00:26:49our 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
00:27:06a surgeon who can't even keep
00:27:08his eyes open on the job?
00:27:10Dr. Heart,
00:27:11have you completely lost
00:27:12your medical judgment,
00:27:13or are you on drugs?
00:27:15This is absurd.
00:27:16He was a mediocre surgeon
00:27:17here at Vail,
00:27:18and now you're positioning him
00:27:21to lead your entire
00:27:21surgical department?
00:27:24The medical board should review
00:27:26your hiring practices.
00:27:29Vivian,
00:27:30I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:33This isn't about money.
00:27:36Maybe there's something beyond
00:27:38professional opportunity
00:27:39that might interest you.
00:27:41She'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,
00:27:48you will be given everything
00:27:50a surgeon of your caliber deserves,
00:27:53including a boss that would do
00:27:55absolutely anything to recognize
00:27:57your value.
00:27:58and I don't mean anything,
00:27:59Dr. Marksman.
00:28:03Dr. Heart,
00:28:04for the sake of your own reputation,
00:28:06you need to know that this hack
00:28:08you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:09has a documented history
00:28:11of negligence.
00:28:12My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:14Is that precisely
00:28:16what Nelson Vail told you?
00:28:17His exact words.
00:28:20Negligence, Serge?
00:28:22What are those?
00:28:25Personal gifts from your father?
00:28:30My fellowship offer?
00:28:32My personal research lab?
00:28:34My surgical team?
00:28:36I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:39You can tell President Vail
00:28:41that as of this moment,
00:28:42Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:44from Vail Hospital
00:28:46and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:49You know what?
00:28:50Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:52You never deserve those privileges
00:28:53in the first place.
00:28:55The medical board is going to see
00:28:57that justice is done.
00:28:58Oh, your stupidity.
00:29:01It's just astonishing.
00:29:04You treat pioneering surgeons
00:29:05like disposable scalpels.
00:29:07This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:14Dr. Hart,
00:29:15I understand there's some competition
00:29:17between your center
00:29:18and Vail Hospital.
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:20Look, I'll be real.
00:29:22We're struggling to get out
00:29:23from under their shadow.
00:29:24Look, I'd be happy
00:29:25to help you out with that.
00:29:26Take me on,
00:29:27and I'll transform Hart
00:29:29into the number one
00:29:29surgical institution
00:29:30in the country.
00:29:33Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:35Offering your skills
00:29:36to a struggling clinic.
00:29:37How pathetically desperate.
00:29:40Oh.
00:29:41A backstabbing bottom feeder
00:29:43like you
00:29:43has absolutely no right
00:29:45to judge a surgeon
00:29:46of his caliber.
00:29:47How dare you talk
00:29:48to me like that!
00:29:49Your malpractice
00:29:51has caused catastrophic damage
00:29:53to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:55As the responsible party,
00:29:57I demand that you
00:29:58issue a formal apology
00:30:00to one of the major
00:30:00medical journals
00:30:01and with an explanation
00:30:03to every affected
00:30:04Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:07Refuse me,
00:30:08and I will ensure
00:30:09that the medical board
00:30:10revokes your license
00:30:11permanently.
00:30:12That accusation
00:30:13isn't just baseness.
00:30:15It's absurd.
00:30:16What exactly do you think
00:30:17you're going to do about it?
00:30:19You've got no choice
00:30:20but to sign this confession.
00:30:21Oh, stop threatening
00:30:22my chief surgeon.
00:30:24If you insist
00:30:25on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:26have your attorney
00:30:27send a formal complaint
00:30:28to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:30We'll consider it
00:30:31nothing less
00:30:31than a declaration
00:30:33of total war.
00:30:35If it's war you want,
00:30:37I will obliterate
00:30:38your dime store clinic
00:30:40with everything
00:30:40that I've got.
00:30:42Let's go.
00:30:44One more second
00:30:45and this cesspool
00:30:45is going to make me
00:30:46physically ill.
00:30:47Oh.
00:30:48Oh.
00:30:56Mr. Vail,
00:30:57don't you waste
00:30:58another precious moment
00:30:59on those
00:30:59secondary practitioners.
00:31:02David,
00:31:03you've proven
00:31:03your loyalty.
00:31:04The chief of surgery
00:31:06position is yours
00:31:07effective immediately.
00:31:09This is,
00:31:10this is extraordinary.
00:31:12I,
00:31:12thank you.
00:31:13I,
00:31:14I,
00:31:15I am honored
00:31:16beyond words.
00:31:17Don't forget
00:31:18about me,
00:31:19Preston.
00:31:20Don't worry,
00:31:21babe.
00:31:22You will be
00:31:23thoroughly compensated
00:31:25for your loyalty.
00:31:26How exciting.
00:31:28Mr. Vail,
00:31:30I swear on my
00:31:31medical oath
00:31:31that I will not
00:31:32disappoint you.
00:31:34Mr. Vail,
00:31:35a commuter train
00:31:36derailed,
00:31:37six critical patients
00:31:38incoming.
00:31:39Dr. Marksman,
00:31:40OR1 now.
00:31:41Now's your time
00:31:41to shine,
00:31:42Dr. Marksman.
00:31:43Shit,
00:31:43I'm screwed.
00:31:44Adrian's surgical
00:31:45journal with all
00:31:45his proprietary techniques
00:31:47is still in my office.
00:31:48If Preston finds out,
00:31:50I stole it
00:31:50and then couldn't
00:31:51even use it properly.
00:31:53I implemented
00:31:54a groundbreaking
00:31:56surgical protocol
00:31:57that I invented myself.
00:31:59These techniques
00:32:00are revolutionary.
00:32:01I'll walk you through
00:32:02it in detail
00:32:03after the emergency.
00:32:04It's impressive,
00:32:05Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06You've obviously
00:32:07got your own methodology.
00:32:09No need to bore me
00:32:10with the specifics.
00:32:10I trust your brilliance.
00:32:12Keep up the good work,
00:32:13Dr. Marksman.
00:32:14With you leading
00:32:15my surgical team,
00:32:16I can focus
00:32:17on what really matters.
00:32:18hospital expansion.
00:32:21Again, sir,
00:32:22I'm deeply honored.
00:32:29Behold,
00:32:30Vail Hospital's
00:32:31new chief of surgery.
00:32:33Let's see how
00:32:34all these condescending
00:32:35clowns treat me now.
00:32:40Glad you're feeling
00:32:41better, honey.
00:32:42Well, sorry.
00:32:45Who's this?
00:32:49Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:50President Vail,
00:32:52Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:53I am calling
00:32:54to let you know
00:32:55that as of this morning,
00:32:57Hart Medical Center
00:32:58has officially entered
00:32:59the experimental
00:33:00surgery arena.
00:33:01Revolutionary
00:33:02surgical procedures
00:33:03are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:05Are you absolutely
00:33:07certain you want
00:33:07to pick this fight?
00:33:09This is merely
00:33:10a professional
00:33:10courtesy call,
00:33:11not an invitation
00:33:12for debate.
00:33:13Now, just...
00:33:19Just that conniving
00:33:21bitch plotting.
00:33:22She knows Adrian
00:33:24is our surgical
00:33:25secret weapon.
00:33:26Why would she
00:33:27deliberately provoke
00:33:28a medical war
00:33:29she has absolutely
00:33:30no chance of winning?
00:33:35Unless...
00:33:41Dad, we've got
00:33:42multiple traumas
00:33:42coming in.
00:33:43Just tell me
00:33:43you didn't fire
00:33:44Dr. Marksman.
00:33:46Dad, relax.
00:33:48I fired the other one.
00:33:49That incompetent
00:33:50slacker resident
00:33:51that you mentioned.
00:33:52Then explain to me
00:33:53why Hart Medical Center
00:33:55believes they can
00:33:56suddenly challenge
00:33:57our surgical supremacy.
00:33:59Because I
00:34:01masterfully led
00:34:02Vivian Hart
00:34:03into a false sense
00:34:04of reality.
00:34:05There's no way
00:34:06a mediocre doctor
00:34:06can revolutionize
00:34:07surgical procedures.
00:34:09I convinced Vivian
00:34:10that she's acquired
00:34:11surgical brilliance
00:34:12when in reality
00:34:14she's hired
00:34:14our disgraced
00:34:15discarded loser.
00:34:17So you deliberately
00:34:18manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks
00:34:20she's hired
00:34:21genius
00:34:22behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:23groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:25That's why
00:34:25she had the audacity
00:34:26to declare war on you.
00:34:28Impressive, son.
00:34:29You're finally showing
00:34:30some of the leadership
00:34:31qualities.
00:34:32I've been waiting
00:34:32to see out of you.
00:34:33I think you're ready
00:34:34to take complete control
00:34:36of our experimental
00:34:37surgical division.
00:34:40Dad, this is everything
00:34:42I've worked for.
00:34:44We'll get to work
00:34:45immediately.
00:34:46We're going to expose
00:34:47Hart Medical Center
00:34:49for the low-grade institution
00:34:52it truly is.
00:34:53Their humiliation
00:34:54will be quick
00:34:55and absolute.
00:34:57I won't let you down.
00:35:00Darling,
00:35:00surgical innovation
00:35:02is the future of Vail.
00:35:04Preston only got
00:35:05his MBA last year.
00:35:06Do you really think
00:35:07it's wise to entrust him
00:35:09with our most
00:35:09prestigious program?
00:35:11I would never
00:35:11take a risk like this
00:35:13if Preston
00:35:14was our only asset.
00:35:16Remember,
00:35:16we have the ultimate
00:35:18surgical secret weapon.
00:35:21You mean the surgeon
00:35:22that saved my life?
00:35:23Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:25Exactly.
00:35:26And all I need to do
00:35:28is stay hands-off
00:35:30and let him
00:35:32exercise his
00:35:34extraordinary talents.
00:35:35As long as Adrian
00:35:37is with Vail Hospital,
00:35:39Hart Medical Center
00:35:40has no chance
00:35:41of competing.
00:35:43Not only that,
00:35:44Vivian fell
00:35:45for Preston's manipulation
00:35:46and hired that
00:35:47medical disaster
00:35:49Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:51What we have to do now
00:35:53is sit back
00:35:55and watch her
00:35:57would-be empire
00:35:58crumble.
00:36:05So,
00:36:06now that you've seen
00:36:07the surgical department,
00:36:10what do you think?
00:36:11It's not bad.
00:36:12It's a small team,
00:36:14but they're talented.
00:36:15What you've built here,
00:36:17it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:21It's good to see you again
00:36:22after all these years,
00:36:23Adrian.
00:36:24You too.
00:36:26You need to expand.
00:36:28It's too small
00:36:29for what I'm planning.
00:36:31Also,
00:36:33I heard
00:36:34you weren't the only surgeon
00:36:35Preston Vail fired.
00:36:40We have all the angles
00:36:42figured out,
00:36:42don't you?
00:36:43And I always find
00:36:44the best one.
00:36:53I'm going to start
00:36:54recruiting.
00:36:56Good.
00:36:57The faster we rise,
00:37:00the more rewarding
00:37:02this partnership becomes.
00:37:16This better be good.
00:37:18Mr. Vail,
00:37:20you wanted to see me?
00:37:25My father
00:37:26has granted me
00:37:27complete authority
00:37:28over our experimental
00:37:29surgical department.
00:37:30Given your new position
00:37:32as chief of surgery,
00:37:33I'm appointing you
00:37:34head of innovation.
00:37:36Mr. Vail,
00:37:37I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue
00:37:38with that?
00:37:39No,
00:37:40absolutely not.
00:37:41The budget for innovation
00:37:43is astronomical.
00:37:48If I oversee
00:37:49these procedures,
00:37:50I could...
00:38:02Preston,
00:38:03we have a catastrophe
00:38:03on our hands.
00:38:04Two attending surgeons
00:38:05just submitted their
00:38:06resignation simultaneously.
00:38:07The department
00:38:07can't possibly...
00:38:11What was their explanation?
00:38:12They refused
00:38:13to disclose their reasons.
00:38:14But there's talk
00:38:15they were recruited
00:38:15by a former Vail physician.
00:38:17Along with the three
00:38:18other surgeons
00:38:18you fired before.
00:38:19Former physician
00:38:20Adrian Marksman,
00:38:21this has his
00:38:22saboteur signature
00:38:23all over it.
00:38:24Preston,
00:38:25what's our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department
00:38:27is severely understaffed.
00:38:29If any more surgeons leave,
00:38:30patients will suffer.
00:38:32Okay, everybody
00:38:32needs 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,
00:38:42we should be able to get
00:38:43the best of the best.
00:38:44Exactly.
00:38:45So we lost
00:38:46some second-rate talent.
00:38:48Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls
00:38:52to Cedars-Sinai
00:38:53and UCLA.
00:38:56Good work, Marksman.
00:39:00This is working out perfectly.
00:39:02Now I can install
00:39:03my own allies
00:39:04in key positions.
00:39:05Soon,
00:39:06I'll control
00:39:06the entire hospital's
00:39:08medical direction.
00:39:32It's an honor
00:39:33to meet you,
00:39:33Dr. Hart.
00:39:38This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:39He's a triple board
00:39:40certified surgeon.
00:39:42And soon,
00:39:42he'll be the head
00:39:43of trauma surgery.
00:39:44This is Dr. Rose,
00:39:46Chen,
00:39:47Rose,
00:39:47and Thomas.
00:39:49All consummate professionals.
00:39:51My most trusted colleagues
00:39:52back at Vail.
00:39:56With this surgical team,
00:39:58Hart Medical
00:39:58can revolutionize
00:39:59surgical care
00:40:00all across the country.
00:40:03Actually,
00:40:03the whole world.
00:40:05We're here to begin,
00:40:06Dr. Hart.
00:40:07Well,
00:40:08welcome to
00:40:09Hart Medical Center.
00:40:11I am thrilled
00:40:12to have surgeons
00:40:12of your caliber
00:40:13joining us,
00:40:14but
00:40:15I do need
00:40:16to be transparent.
00:40:17We have got
00:40:18considerable ground
00:40:19to cover
00:40:20before we can
00:40:20truly challenge
00:40:21Vail Hospital's
00:40:22dominance.
00:40:23Have no fear,
00:40:23Dr. Hart.
00:40:24With Adrian leading
00:40:26our team,
00:40:26we'll be three steps
00:40:27ahead of anything
00:40:28Vail attempts.
00:40:29Yes,
00:40:30but Vail has already
00:40:31implemented Adrian's
00:40:33breakthrough surgical
00:40:34procedure protocols.
00:40:35Yeah,
00:40:36about that.
00:40:37It's a preliminary version.
00:40:39If they continue
00:40:39to develop this approach
00:40:40without modification...
00:40:42Then what?
00:40:42A lot of deaths.
00:40:44A lot of lawsuits.
00:40:46A lot of patients
00:40:47could be harmed.
00:40:48Or worse,
00:40:48these procedures
00:40:49weren't ready
00:40:50for widespread implementation
00:40:51without proper
00:40:52refinement.
00:40:53Those techniques
00:40:54require precise
00:40:55calibration
00:40:55and specialized
00:40:57training.
00:40:57Without that foundation...
00:40:59We're talking about
00:41:00serious complications,
00:41:02preventable harm.
00:41:03Our first priority
00:41:04has to be patient safety.
00:41:06We need to perfect
00:41:07these procedures,
00:41:08and then we can
00:41:09find a way
00:41:09to prevent Vail
00:41:10from continuing
00:41:11with the flawed protocols.
00:41:13Exactly.
00:41:14It's not about
00:41:14competition or pride.
00:41:16It's about saving lives.
00:41:20We're using our experience
00:41:22with the trial procedures
00:41:23I did at Vail
00:41:24to develop next generation
00:41:25surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating all the
00:41:28previous complications
00:41:29and inefficiencies.
00:41:31Even if Vail Hospital
00:41:33analyzes our fundamental
00:41:34approach and attempts
00:41:35to create something new,
00:41:37we'll maintain
00:41:38our significant advantage.
00:41:40And if they stubbornly
00:41:41continue with their
00:41:42flawed protocols,
00:41:44rest assured,
00:41:45their outcomes
00:41:46will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish it
00:41:48upon their patients,
00:41:49that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this moment.
00:41:52In this battle
00:41:53for medical supremacy,
00:41:54Heart Medical Center
00:41:55will emerge victorious.
00:42:04It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track of time again.
00:42:13Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:17It looks like you could
00:42:18use a nice rub.
00:42:20Do you mind?
00:42:21No.
00:42:23I mean,
00:42:25yeah.
00:42:26Will you give
00:42:27all your surgeons
00:42:28massages?
00:42:29Only the ones
00:42:30I really, really liked.
00:42:37You really, really liked me?
00:42:39Adrienne,
00:42:40I've really, really liked you
00:42:41since residency.
00:42:43Nothing's changed.
00:42:45You were our most
00:42:46brilliant resident
00:42:47in the program.
00:42:48I never imagined
00:42:49someone like you
00:42:50would like me.
00:42:51There was never anyone
00:42:52else that got my attention.
00:42:54Only you.
00:42:57But you were
00:42:58completely oblivious.
00:43:00And then you just
00:43:01vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well, I left to join
00:43:04the Experimental Surgical
00:43:06Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:08I know.
00:43:11Your talent was
00:43:12extraordinary even then.
00:43:14Back then,
00:43:15I made a promise to myself
00:43:16that we would work
00:43:17together again someday.
00:43:19You know,
00:43:20when I established
00:43:21Heart Medical Center,
00:43:22my first priority
00:43:23was recruiting you.
00:43:25But that
00:43:26manipulative
00:43:27tyrant,
00:43:28Nelson Bale,
00:43:29had already secured
00:43:30your contracts
00:43:31with ridiculous
00:43:32incentives.
00:43:34I understand now.
00:43:42So,
00:43:44should we
00:43:45pick up
00:43:46where we left off
00:43:47in residency?
00:43:48You're the boss.
00:43:50That's right.
00:43:51And as your boss,
00:43:53I say,
00:43:54come home with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:57You lost everything
00:43:58when Preston
00:43:59fired you.
00:43:59Hospital privileges,
00:44:01research funding,
00:44:03even your hospital
00:44:06subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally
00:44:10nowhere else to go
00:44:11tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:27All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best
00:44:31meal I've had
00:44:31in months.
00:44:32Careful,
00:44:33Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking
00:44:36you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends
00:44:38on the company.
00:44:39Well,
00:44:40starting tonight,
00:44:41this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's
00:44:45fully established,
00:44:46it just
00:44:46makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure
00:44:48about that?
00:44:49We already work
00:44:50late hours.
00:44:52Living together
00:44:54could get complicated.
00:44:56Well,
00:44:56I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things
00:44:59interesting.
00:45:00And
00:45:01where exactly
00:45:03will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well,
00:45:07my master suite
00:45:10has a
00:45:11California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room.
00:45:17if things
00:45:18ever need to get
00:45:19more
00:45:21collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight,
00:45:29at least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you
00:45:35your room.
00:45:37Unless you'd rather
00:45:39have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:47things could get
00:45:48dangerous.
00:45:54Is this
00:45:54pathetic attempt
00:45:55really the best
00:45:56that you can do?
00:45:58You are
00:45:58completely
00:45:59worthless as
00:46:00surgeons.
00:46:01Dr. Marksman,
00:46:02the experimental
00:46:03procedures we're
00:46:04trying to replicate
00:46:04are really intricate.
00:46:07We need at least
00:46:07six months
00:46:08to properly
00:46:09master.
00:46:10six months?
00:46:11You have
00:46:1272 hours.
00:46:13And I expect
00:46:14hourly updates
00:46:15on my desk.
00:46:16Sir,
00:46:16rushing these
00:46:17delicate procedures
00:46:18dramatically increases
00:46:20the possibility
00:46:21of potentially
00:46:21fatal complications.
00:46:23Three days.
00:46:23Then you don't get
00:46:24one hour more.
00:46:26Go.
00:46:31Report,
00:46:32Dr. Marksman.
00:46:33What's our status?
00:46:34Excellent progress,
00:46:35Mr. Vale.
00:46:36We will be
00:46:36advancing to
00:46:37phase two
00:46:38implementation
00:46:38within three
00:46:39days.
00:46:40That's exactly
00:46:41what I wanted
00:46:41to hear.
00:46:42I knew my judgment
00:46:43in appointing you
00:46:44was flawless.
00:46:50Preston,
00:46:50I need an update
00:46:51on the experimental
00:46:52surgery program.
00:46:54Everything's
00:46:55proceeding perfectly,
00:46:55Father.
00:46:56Outstanding.
00:46:57When this is done,
00:46:58I'll throw you
00:46:59a huge party
00:47:00to celebrate
00:47:01the launch.
00:47:02Your father must
00:47:02be so proud of you.
00:47:04Keep up the good
00:47:04work,
00:47:05Dr. Marksman.
00:47:06I'll make sure
00:47:07my father understands
00:47:08your invaluable
00:47:08contribution.
00:47:10This is my shot.
00:47:12Why settle
00:47:12for chief of surgery?
00:47:13With the right
00:47:14maneuvering,
00:47:14I could become
00:47:15the next chief
00:47:15medical officer
00:47:16of Vale Hospital.
00:47:18Mr. Vale,
00:47:19my purpose
00:47:20is to execute
00:47:21the visionary
00:47:22medical strategies
00:47:23of brilliant
00:47:25administrators
00:47:26such as yourself.
00:47:27I believe
00:47:28that in the position
00:47:29of chief medical
00:47:30officer,
00:47:30I could implement
00:47:31your ideas
00:47:32more effectively
00:47:33throughout the
00:47:33entire hospital.
00:47:34If these procedures
00:47:35prove successful,
00:47:37I will personally
00:47:37discuss your advancement
00:47:38with the board.
00:47:39Truly,
00:47:40that's...
00:47:42I am profoundly
00:47:43grateful,
00:47:44sir.
00:48:03you're finally awake.
00:48:09You can keep
00:48:10appreciating the view
00:48:11while you eat.
00:48:12all right.
00:48:13All right.
00:48:14Ooh,
00:48:14breakfast.
00:48:15Looks good.
00:48:19When you're
00:48:20finished eating,
00:48:21we'll head directly
00:48:22to the surgical wing.
00:48:23Sound good?
00:48:24Yes.
00:48:25Absolutely.
00:48:26Good.
00:48:28Get it up
00:48:29and running
00:48:29and there may be
00:48:30a special bonus
00:48:33waiting for you.
00:48:36Extra special.
00:48:46Okay, team.
00:48:47We're approaching
00:48:48a critical phase
00:48:48of our program
00:48:49development.
00:48:50We have
00:48:50groundbreaking
00:48:51procedures that we
00:48:52need to perfect
00:48:53in very little time.
00:48:54So,
00:48:55let's get to it.
00:48:56Start revolutionizing
00:48:57medicine.
00:48:57I have
00:48:59excellent news
00:48:59for all of you.
00:49:00I've just
00:49:01finalized
00:49:02arrangements
00:49:02with the board
00:49:03and upon
00:49:04successful
00:49:05implementation
00:49:05of our
00:49:06surgical innovations,

00:49:13to share
00:49:13your expertise.
00:49:14And
00:49:15when the time
00:49:16comes that
00:49:17our procedures
00:49:18receive national
00:49:19certification,
00:49:20every surgeon
00:49:21on this team
00:49:22will be gifted
00:49:23a percentage
00:49:23of the royalties
00:49:24from any
00:49:25techniques we patent.
00:49:28At Heart Medical
00:49:29Center,

00:49:31are the lifeblood
00:49:32of our institution

00:49:40we are fully
00:49:41committed to making
00:49:42this surgical
00:49:43program a success.
00:49:44Absolutely.
00:49:45You'll be seeing
00:49:46progress ASAP.
00:49:47Vail Hospital
00:49:48won't know
00:49:48what hit him.

00:53:04flexible in my corner
00:53:06i was back at the winning team dr marksman
00:53:16today veil hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next generation surgical program
00:53:22this cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:53:27especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day
00:53:32the question now is
00:53:34who will define the future of surgery
00:53:37relax mr veil
00:53:38heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:42i hope you're right
00:53:44for your sake
00:53:48didn't you say that uh
00:53:50if the rollout went well that you'd make me
00:53:52chief medical officer
00:53:54it's not a success
00:53:56yet
00:53:59enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:00because if our results don't outshine heart medical

00:55:04we won't have to lift a damn finger
00:55:09as the future of modern surgery
00:55:12so you're saying that veil hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that
00:55:16you designed
00:55:17it's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast
00:55:20they're using an early draft
00:55:22full of mistakes that i won't make again
00:55:25they don't even realize the cracks in their foundation
00:55:28that actually makes perfect sense
00:55:32which means we've already won

01:06:04what you couldn't
01:06:05i'm pissed
01:06:06because you used
01:06:07rudimentary theories
01:06:08as innovation
01:06:09and when it fails
01:06:12and it will
01:06:15you're not the ones
01:06:16that'll pay for it
01:06:17the patients will
01:06:18you can't prove that
01:06:19not yet
01:06:22but you can't fake medicine
01:06:25medicine and science
01:06:26always tell
01:06:28the truth
01:06:31our three's vitals just dropped
01:06:33we've got uncontrolled bleeding
01:06:34second patient today
01:06:35same issue
01:06:36vessel ligation failed
01:06:37mid-operation
01:06:38these techniques aren't viable
01:06:40the veil method doesn't hold under stress
01:06:43i mean come on
01:06:45tonight proves it
01:06:46we're ahead of every surgical institute in the country
01:06:56i'll be right back
01:06:58just coordinating with the team
01:07:03talk to me
01:07:03the vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again
01:07:06this is the second patient bleeding out tonight
01:07:11use the compression step
01:07:12that only works in control scenarios
01:07:15we told you these procedures weren't fully tested
01:07:19look just follow the notes
01:07:24i designed those techniques for 101 guidance
01:07:27not mass implementation
01:07:28without calibration
01:07:31it's unstable
01:07:32it's dangerous
01:07:33they tried to commercialize your success without you
01:07:36now people are paying for it
01:07:40all good?
01:07:41of course
01:07:42just routine coordination
01:07:44routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss
01:07:48your surgical program is failing
01:07:50when patients are suffering
01:07:52you've been out of the field for months
01:07:54you wouldn't know
01:07:55yeah i would know
01:07:56because the procedures that you're butchering
01:07:58i invented
01:07:59and i'm the only one in this room
01:08:01who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing
01:08:04oh shit
01:08:11oh yes this is dr marksman
01:08:13yeah connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately
01:08:18okay listen very carefully
01:08:19your patient OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:24because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed
01:08:28no you need to perform a marksman modified pringle maneuver
01:08:32with selective hepatic arterial legation
01:08:35followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:38using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures
01:08:43yes
01:08:45yes
01:08:46yes
01:08:48how do we even know he made a phone call
01:08:50this whole thing is perf
01:08:52this entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork
01:09:11uh
01:09:12procedures i pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board
01:09:16as revolutionary
01:09:17yeah you know what this is pathetic
01:09:20he's just jealous
01:09:21he missed his shot
01:09:23is that what you told yourself when you snuck back into my office and stole my
01:09:27surgical journal
01:09:28even if that were true
01:09:30this isn't the time or the place
01:09:32i think it's exactly the time and place
01:09:45i just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator
01:09:49and thanks to adrian's guidance our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients
01:09:56adrian just cleaned up your mess
01:09:59you took this good man's techniques that weren't ready
01:10:02and you fired him
01:10:04the one person who could make them safe
01:10:08dad
01:10:09you don't see the full picture here
01:10:12oh i'm seeing it perfectly well
01:10:14this hospital was built on trust and integrity
01:10:17and you've disgraced them both
01:10:20your father nearly died because of your ego
01:10:24because of his lies
01:10:27you saved me
01:10:29you saved nelson
01:10:31and now you can save vale
01:10:34i tried to warn you all
01:10:36no one listened
01:10:37they're listening now
01:10:39you deserve to be at vale
01:10:41more than either of those two
01:10:44and probably even more than me
01:10:46it was a mistake to let you go
01:10:50months ago i was fired from vale hospital
01:10:52with procedures still in development
01:10:55they weren't ready
01:10:56they needed supervision
01:10:59precision
01:11:00development
01:11:01instead someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory
01:11:05oh
01:11:05you can't prove that
01:11:08security footage
01:11:12of you stealing adrian's notebook from the hospital
01:11:16already submitted to the board
01:11:18i built
01:11:20on what he started
01:11:21okay
01:11:22i i didn't steal
01:11:24i i i enhanced it
01:11:26then why were patients about to die
01:11:29you falsified rollout readiness
01:11:32he did more than that
01:11:33he put lives at risk
01:11:35to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program
01:11:39we're going to need to open a formal investigation on this
01:11:43this is absurd
01:11:44this was supposed to be our night
01:11:46oh it's your night
01:11:49it's just not the way you thought it'd be
01:11:52you lied to me
01:11:53i didn't lie
01:11:54i simplified the truth
01:11:56simplify
01:11:57you could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people
01:12:01you nearly killed the president of the hospital
01:12:04you passed up experimental procedures as launch ready
01:12:07that's malpractice
01:12:09they worked
01:12:10nelson's alive
01:12:12look the patients they're alive
01:12:14yeah because of me
01:12:15those methods require sequential tensioning
01:12:18breath control
01:12:19special clamp techniques
01:12:21getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death
01:12:23wait these really are your techniques
01:12:25i tested them for years
01:12:28it was never meant for mass rollout
01:12:31not without training
01:12:32you're rewriting history
01:12:34no you try to erase him from it
01:12:37adrian marksman was the reason that veils
01:12:40it won't
01:12:41this is absurd
01:12:50you hijacked a program
01:12:59you
01:13:00you
01:13:00you
01:13:01inside that
01:13:03i'm your son
01:13:04i'm taking the side of truth

01:14:15you traded him the second someone flashier walked by
01:14:18you don't understand
01:14:20i thought he was finished
01:14:23i thought he had nothing left
01:14:24So you sold him out, mocked him over and over again.
01:14:30I was scared. I didn't know what to do.
01:14:34Oh, you knew. You just didn't care.
01:14:37Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:41Please, say something. Anything.
01:14:46You had your chance, Fiona, and you spent it holding Preston's arm
01:14:50while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:01You always belonged in my operating room,
01:15:03and I should have fought harder to keep you
01:15:06if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:10The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board,
01:15:15and David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:18We're rebuilding, and I want you back.
01:15:22As Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:27I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:30You had your chance, too.
01:15:32I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:34Oh, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:39Adrian 2.0.
01:15:40I'm not coming back.
01:15:44You're choosing her?
01:15:45Our rival?
01:15:47You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:50I open the door for you, and you slam it in my face.
01:15:54Just typical.
01:15:56Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:01She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:05Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:08Get me out of here.
01:16:10Now!
01:16:28Carma has good timing.
01:16:32Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:35We have lives to save.
01:16:37Hey!
01:16:39Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:43I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:49Now?
01:16:50Well, there's no time like the present.
01:16:59This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:02It's not bad.
01:17:04I need a second opinion.
01:17:08Well, I've got all night.
01:17:09And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:15Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:18You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:21But I am very thorough.
01:17:30Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:35Besides meeting you, of course.
