Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We 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 U.R.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:51A 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?
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Then prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:04Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:15That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:18Metz and bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey Cottery.
00:01:30Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:44But how did he...
00:01:47Silk suture.
00:01:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:38Wait.
00:02:40I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:00Doctor.
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, that she only had weeks to live.
00:03:21But...
00:03:22You...
00:03:23You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:27Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail.
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.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:03:57They're all stable.
00:04:22Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:24Stabilized.
00:04:25Oh, the 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.
00:04:39All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:42Okay.
00:04:42Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night.
00:05:06See what every single patient did that pile up.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:11How 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 it just feels different.
00:05:41It'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 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?
00:06:24Preston Bale, President 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 pancreatico 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 in 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's he thinking he is?
00:07:23Dr. 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 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,
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.
00:08:26Yes, 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.
00:08:52That'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.
00:09:10Seem 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.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona.
00:09:37Dr. 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?
00:10:04I see.
00:10:05Sir, 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.
00:10:19I 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.
00:10:48I'll be waiting.
00:10:57You 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.
00:11:12I 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.
00:11:43Even the most attractive administrators
00:11:47need to be reminded
00:11:48who'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.
00:12:02She'll be okay,
00:12:03but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And, Preston,
00:12:07there'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
00:12:33working for us here.
00:12:36I had to back up the brakes truck
00:12:38to get him here.
00:12:39He's a surgeon
00:12:40who saved your mother's life,
00:12:42and he's pioneering
00:12:43our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation
00:12:48rests on his work.
00:12:55Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now.
00:12:56There's another surgeon
00:12:58attending 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.
00:13:07Three-times Apex award winner
00:13:09for clinical research.
00:13:10Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:11That's our man.
00:13:12There's another surgeon
00:13:13with 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.
00:13:38See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired
00:13:49was worthless.
00:13:50Now,
00:13:51about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vale, 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.
00:14:05Give 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
00:14:30alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the thing 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.
00:14:45What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:48Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:07Mmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:13These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:14Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:16Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:23Hello?
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.
00:15:31I'm on my way.
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.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:52Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank 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.
00:16:13That's my girl.
00:16:22Beyond a shift in 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?
00:17:04I 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.
00:17:57Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:18:05And you?
00:18:09Just a slacker.
00:18:10And 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?
00:18:30President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:44You 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 authorizes you to be here?
00:19:01Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:04we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:19:08and 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,
00:19:28I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:30Mr. 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,
00:19:57he'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.
00:20:07Huh.
00:20:09Amazing.
00:20:10I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prize surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With our 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.
00:20:36And if necessary,
00:20:37my personal involvement.
00:20:41His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:45Have my car brought round.
00:20:47I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:50And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:51he's leaving with me.
00:20:53Malfeasance.
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.
00:21:14And when a complication occurs,
00:21:16which happened in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me.
00:21:24The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:26isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:29If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine
00:21:37with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:40What 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
00:22:24can end your entire career with 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 to his patients
00:22:33wherever 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 from 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.
00:22:58I 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,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:08You 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.
00:23:25Let him go.
00:23:39Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:43as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:45at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:47I 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,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you
00:24:01since 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
00:24:08in the country, of course.
00:24:10Wait, are 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
00:24:34between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence.
00:24:38Dr. Hart,
00:24:40I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman
00:24:42represents a 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.
00:25:03His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:09Are 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
00:25:25his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:30Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:34His exact words were,
00:25:35remove 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
00:25:44a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations
00:25:48were 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, 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?
00:27:10Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:14This is absurd.
00:27:16He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:18And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:24Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:29Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:33This isn't about money.
00:27:36Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that 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 Hart 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.
00:27:58And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:00Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
00:28:12My 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?
00:28:25Personal gifts from your father?
00:28:30My fellowship offer?
00:28:31My personal research lab, my 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.
00:28:48You know what, spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:52You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:55The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:28:57Oh, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.
00:29:03You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:07This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:14Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:19Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:29:22We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:24Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:26Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:32Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:35Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:37How pathetically desperate.
00:29:40Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:47How 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.
00:30:01And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:07Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:12That 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.
00:30:47Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:02David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:05The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:08This 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.
00:31:26How exciting.
00:31:29Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:33Mr. 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.
00:32:23Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:33Let'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?
00:32:45Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:50President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:53I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:01Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:05Adrian, are 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...
00:33:16What 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?
00:33:31Unless...
00:33:36Dad, 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.
00:33:49That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:52Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:33:58Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:05There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:09I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:13But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:17So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks she's hired the 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 for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:53Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:34:57I won't let you down.
00:35:00Darling, 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.
00:35:43Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:51All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:05So, 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.
00:36:18It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:24You too.
00:36:26We 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 Vail fired.
00:36:40We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:43And I always find the best one.
00:36:44I'm going to start recruiting.
00:36:56Good.
00:36:58The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:03This better be good.
00:37:18Mr. Vail, you 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. Vail, I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue with that?
00:37:39No, absolutely not.
00:37:42The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:37:44And President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:37:48If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:54Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:37:57I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:37:59Preston, 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 Vail physician.
00:38:17Along with the three other 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.
00:39:08It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:34This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:40He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:42And 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 Vail.
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 Vail 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 Vail attempts.
00:40:29Yes, but Vail 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 Vail 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.
00:41:20We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next generation surgical techniques,
00:41:27eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:30Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:41:37we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:40And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols,
00:41:44rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this moment.
00:41:51In this battle for medical supremacy,
00:41:54Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:03It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track of time again.
00:42:13Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:15Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:20Do 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 liked me?
00:42:39Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:42Nothing'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.
00:43:00And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well, I left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:07I know.
00:43:11Your 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,
00:43:22my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:25But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale,
00:43:29had 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.
00:43:50That'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,
00:44:04even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:20All 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,
00:44:41this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's fully established,
00:44:46it just makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure about that?
00:44:49I mean, we already work late hours.
00:44:52Living together could get complicated.
00:44:56Well, I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things interesting.
00:45:01And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well,
00:45:04my master suite
00:45:09has a California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room
00:45:16if things ever need to get more
00:45:20collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:23Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:29Tonight, at 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
00:45:55really the best that you can do?
00:45:56You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:04Dr. Marksman,
00:46:05the experimental procedures
00:46:06we're trying to replicate here
00:46:07are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:10We need at least six months
00:46:11to properly master...
00:46:12Six months?
00:46:14You have 72 hours.
00:46:16And I expect hourly updates
00:46:18on my desk.
00:46:19Sir,
00:46:19rushing these
00:46:20delicate procedures
00:46:21dramatically increases
00:46:23the possibility
00:46:24of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26Then you don't get
00:46:27one 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
00:46:40to Phase 2 implementation
00:46:41within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly
00:46:44what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment
00:46:46in appointing you
00:46:47was flawless.
00:46:49Preston, I need an update
00:46:54on the experimental
00:46:55surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding
00:46:58perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done,
00:47:01I'll throw you a huge party
00:47:03to celebrate the launch.
00:47:05Your father must be
00:47:05so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work,
00:47:08Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father
00:47:10understands your
00:47:11invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:15Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering,
00:47:17I could become the next
00:47:18chief medical officer.
00:47:19of Vail Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vail,
00:47:22my purpose is to execute
00:47:24the visionary medical strategies
00:47:26of brilliant administrators
00:47:28such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that in the position
00:47:31of chief medical officer,
00:47:33I could implement your ideas
00:47:35more effectively
00:47:36throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures
00:47:38prove successful,
00:47:40I will personally discuss
00:47:41your advancement
00:47:41with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:44I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:47:48You're finally awake.
00:48:08You can keep appreciating the view
00:48:14while you eat.
00:48:15All right.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:22When you're finished eating,
00:48:24we'll head directly
00:48:24to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:31Get it up and running,
00:48:32and there may be a special bonus
00:48:35waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team.
00:48:49We're approaching a critical phase
00:48:51of our program development.
00:48:53We have groundbreaking procedures
00:48:55that we need to perfect
00:48:56in very little time.
00:48:57So, let's get to it.
00:48:59Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news
00:49:02for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized
00:49:05arrangements with the board,
00:49:06and upon successful implementation
00:49:08of our surgical innovations,
00:49:11each of you will receive
00:49:12a fully funded medical mission trip
00:49:14anywhere in the world
00:49:15that you choose
00:49:16to share your expertise.
00:49:17And when the time comes
00:49:20that our procedures
00:49:20receive national certification,
00:49:23every surgeon on this team
00:49:25will be gifted a percentage
00:49:26of the royalties
00:49:27from any techniques we patent.
00:49:31At Hart Medical Center,
00:49:33our surgeons are the lifeblood
00:49:35of our institution,
00:49:37and you will be compensated accordingly.

00:53:11Dr. Marksman
00:53:12today Vail Hospital

00:53:22next generation
00:53:24surgical program
00:53:25this cutting edge approach
00:53:26to surgical care
00:53:27is being closely watched
00:53:29by the medical industry
00:53:30especially as
00:53:31Heart Medical's
00:53:32competing program
00:53:33was released
00:53:34on the same day
00:53:35the question now is
00:53:37who will define
00:53:37the future
00:53:38of surgery
00:53:39relax Mr. Vail
00:53:41Heart Medical
00:53:43doesn't stand a chance
00:53:44I hope you're right
00:53:46for your sake
00:53:49didn't you say that
00:53:52if the rollout went well
00:53:54that you'd make me
00:53:55chief medical officer
00:53:57it's not a success
00:53:59yet
00:54:00enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:03because if our results
00:54:05don't outshine Heart Medical
00:54:06it'll be the last thing
00:54:07you have to celebrate
00:54:08for a long time
00:54:09Dr. Hurt
00:54:21we have a problem
00:54:23Vail Hospital's
00:54:26new surgical program
00:54:27launches today
00:54:27that soon?
00:54:29they're hosting
00:54:30a big celebration party
00:54:31tonight
00:54:32it's a good thing
00:54:35we're ahead
00:54:36you're saying
00:54:39we're ready
00:54:39why would I lie
00:54:40we've been tracking
00:54:42Vail's every move
00:54:43let him celebrate
00:54:45it's just gonna backfire
00:54:46how exactly
00:54:48does that work
00:54:48in our favor?
00:54:50Viv do you remember
00:54:51what I told you
00:54:52when you first
00:54:52brought me here?
00:54:55Preston Vail's
00:54:56rushing this
00:54:57he's desperate
00:54:57to beat us
00:54:58to the market
00:54:58and?
00:54:59their model's flawed
00:55:00if they keep
00:55:02moving forward
00:55:03without realizing
00:55:03their structural failure
00:55:04and their approach
00:55:05we won't have to
00:55:08lift a damn finger
00:55:08and what about
00:55:09when it falls apart?
00:55:11then Heart Medical
00:55:11takes over
00:55:12as the future
00:55:12of modern surgery
00:55:13so you're saying
00:55:16that Vail Hospital
00:55:17has been refining
00:55:18the prototype
00:55:18surgical method
00:55:19that you designed
00:55:20it's the only way
00:55:21they could have
00:55:21gotten this far
00:55:22this fast
00:55:23they're using
00:55:24an early draft
00:55:25full of mistakes
00:55:26that I won't
00:55:26make again
00:55:27they don't even
00:55:29realize the cracks
00:55:30in their foundation
00:55:30that actually
00:55:32makes perfect sense
00:55:34which means
00:55:36we've already won
00:55:37well this is a big
00:55:39day for us

01:06:08I'm pissed
01:06:09because you used
01:06:10rudimentary theories
01:06:11as innovation
01:06:12and when it fails
01:06:14and it will
01:06:16you're not the ones
01:06:19that'll pay for it
01:06:20the patients will
01:06:21you can't prove that
01:06:22not yet
01:06:23but you can't fake medicine
01:06:26medicine and science
01:06:29always tell the truth
01:06:32our three's vitals
01:06:35just dropped
01:06:36we've got uncontrolled bleeding
01:06:37second patient today
01:06:38same issue
01:06:39vessel ligation failed
01:06:40mid-operation
01:06:41these techniques
01:06:42aren't viable
01:06:43the veil method
01:06:44doesn't hold
01:06:45under stress
01:06:45I mean come on
01:06:48tonight proves it
01:06:49we're ahead of
01:06:50every surgical institute
01:06:51in the country
01:06:51I'll be right back
01:07:01just coordinating
01:07:02with the team
01:07:03talk to me
01:07:06the vascular bundle
01:07:08clamp maneuver
01:07:08failed again
01:07:09this is the second
01:07:10patient bleeding out
01:07:11tonight
01:07:11use the compression
01:07:15step
01:07:15that only works
01:07:17in controlled scenarios
01:07:18we told you
01:07:19these procedures
01:07:20weren't fully tested
01:07:21look just follow
01:07:23the notes
01:07:23I designed those
01:07:28techniques for
01:07:29101 guidance
01:07:30not mass
01:07:31implementation
01:07:31without calibration
01:07:33it's unstable
01:07:35it's dangerous
01:07:36they tried to
01:07:37commercialize your
01:07:38success without you
01:07:39now people are
01:07:41paying for it
01:07:42all good
01:07:44of course
01:07:45just routine
01:07:47coordination
01:07:47routine coordination
01:07:49doesn't usually
01:07:50include blood loss
01:07:51your surgical program
01:07:53is failing
01:07:53and patients
01:07:54are suffering
01:07:54you've been out
01:07:56of the field
01:07:56for months
01:07:57you wouldn't know
01:07:58yeah I would know
01:07:59because the procedures
01:08:00that you're butchering
01:08:01I invented
01:08:02and I'm the only one
01:08:04in this room
01:08:04who can fix the mess
01:08:05that you made
01:08:06in your surgical wing
01:08:07oh shit
01:08:08oh yes
01:08:15this is Dr. Marksman
01:08:16yeah connect me
01:08:17with the surgical
01:08:18coordinator immediately
01:08:19okay listen very carefully
01:08:22your patient
01:08:24OR3 is experiencing
01:08:25a catastrophic
01:08:26hemorrhaging
01:08:27because the vascular
01:08:28bundle clamp technique
01:08:30was improperly executed
01:08:31no
01:08:32you need to perform
01:08:33a Marksman
01:08:34modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:35with selective
01:08:36hepatic arterial
01:08:37ligation
01:08:38followed by a
01:08:39rapid sequence
01:08:40vascular anatomosis
01:08:41using interrupted
01:08:426-0
01:08:43proline sutures
01:08:45yes
01:08:46yes
01:08:49how do we even know
01:08:52he made a phone call
01:08:53this whole thing
01:08:55is performance
01:08:55charade
01:08:56you stole his methods
01:08:58this entire launch party
01:09:00is built upon stolen work
01:09:02and guesswork
01:09:03uh that's a lie
01:09:05then prove me wrong
01:09:06show them all a technique
01:09:08that I didn't create
01:09:09why would we believe
01:09:13anything he says
01:09:14he was fired
01:09:15humiliated
01:09:16you're right
01:09:17I was fired
01:09:17and the same procedures
01:09:19I pioneered
01:09:20were renamed
01:09:21and sold back to the board
01:09:22as revolutionary
01:09:23you know what
01:09:24this is pathetic
01:09:25he's just jealous
01:09:27he missed his shot
01:09:28is that what you told yourself
01:09:30when you snuck back
01:09:31into my office
01:09:32and stole my surgical journal
01:09:33even if that were true
01:09:35this isn't the time
01:09:37or the place
01:09:38I think it's exactly
01:09:40the time and place
01:09:41I just got off the phone
01:09:53with our surgical coordinator
01:09:55and thanks to Adrian's guidance
01:09:57our surgeons were able
01:09:59to stabilize
01:10:00the coding patients
01:10:01Adrian just cleaned up
01:10:04your mess
01:10:05you took this good man's techniques
01:10:07that weren't ready
01:10:08and you fired him
01:10:10the one person
01:10:12who could make them safe
01:10:13dad
01:10:15you don't see
01:10:17the full picture here
01:10:18oh I'm seeing it
01:10:19perfectly well
01:10:20this hospital
01:10:21was built on trust
01:10:22and integrity
01:10:23and you've disgraced
01:10:25them both
01:10:26your father nearly died
01:10:28because of your ego
01:10:29because of his lies
01:10:32you saved me
01:10:34you saved Nelson
01:10:36and now
01:10:38you can save Vale
01:10:39I tried to warn you all
01:10:41no one listened
01:10:43they're listening now
01:10:44you deserve to be
01:10:46at Vale
01:10:47more than either
01:10:49of those two
01:10:49and probably
01:10:51even more than me
01:10:52it was a mistake
01:10:53to let you go
01:10:54months ago
01:10:56I was fired
01:10:57from Vale Hospital
01:10:58with procedures
01:10:59still in development
01:11:00they weren't ready
01:11:02they needed supervision
01:11:03precision
01:11:05development
01:11:06instead someone
01:11:08took my notes
01:11:08and tried to fast track
01:11:10them for glory
01:11:11oh
01:11:11you can't prove that
01:11:13security footage
01:11:15of you stealing
01:11:19Adrian's notebook
01:11:20from the hospital
01:11:21already submitted
01:11:23to the board
01:11:24I built
01:11:26on what he started
01:11:27okay
01:11:28I didn't steal
01:11:30I enhanced it
01:11:32then why were patients
01:11:33about to die
01:11:34you falsified
01:11:37rollout readiness
01:11:37he did more than that
01:11:39he put lives
01:11:41at risk
01:11:41to prove that
01:11:42he was smarter
01:11:43than the guy
01:11:44that actually created
01:11:45the program
01:11:45we're going to need
01:11:46to open a formal
01:11:47investigation on this
01:11:48this is absurd
01:11:50this was supposed
01:11:51to be our night
01:11:52oh it's your night
01:11:53just not the way
01:11:56you thought it'd be
01:11:56you lied to me
01:11:59I didn't lie
01:12:00I simplified
01:12:01the truth
01:12:01simplify
01:12:03you could have
01:12:04caused serious harm
01:12:05to countless
01:12:06innocent people
01:12:07you nearly killed
01:12:09the president
01:12:09of the hospital
01:12:10you passed up
01:12:11experimental procedures
01:12:12as launch ready
01:12:13that's malpractice
01:12:15they worked
01:12:16Nelson's alive
01:12:18look
01:12:18the patients
01:12:19they're alive
01:12:20yeah because of me
01:12:21those methods require
01:12:22sequential tensioning
01:12:24breath control
01:12:25special clamp techniques
01:12:26getting one beat wrong
01:12:27is the difference
01:12:28between life and death
01:12:29wait these really
01:12:30are your techniques
01:12:31I tested them
01:12:33for years
01:12:33it was never meant
01:12:35for mass rollout
01:12:36not without training
01:12:38you're rewriting history
01:12:40no you tried
01:12:41to erase him from it
01:12:43Adrian Marksman
01:12:44was the reason
01:12:45that Vale's program
01:12:46had a future
01:12:47and without him
01:12:49it won't
01:12:50this is absurd
01:12:51you're siding
