You Fired A Genius Surgeon - Full Movie
Transcript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city,
00:00:05sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team,
00:00:15their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:00:59The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:17Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:19Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:23That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:25Bovey Cottery.
00:01:26Watch.
00:01:27He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:29The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:30But how did he...?
00:01:31Tilk suture.
00:01:32Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:36I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:37Almost done.
00:01:38I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:39Almost done.
00:01:40Oh, no.
00:01:41You're not done.
00:01:42No.
00:01:43No, no.
00:01:44I'm done.
00:01:45No.
00:01:46What a bad guy, I'm doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:47The bleeding?
00:01:48It's under control.
00:01:49But how did he...?
00:01:50Tilk suture.
00:01:51Parker, 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.
00:02:21Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that, that was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait.
00:02:40I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:51Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:02Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you, you actually did.
00:03:11Sir, 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, but you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:32Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:04:19They're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:37All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:42Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night.
00:05:05I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you better than anyone.
00:05:19You remembered.
00:05:25Goldberry.
00:05:26Your favorite?
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:34I 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, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:00I 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.
00:06:15What 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, 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 pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:38I'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!
00:06:50Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:55You'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.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,
00:07:13every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:21Who does he think 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.
00:07:40That 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
00:07:47and 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
00:07:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time 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.
00:08:06Let'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.
00:08:23Did 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?
00:08:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700?
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.
00:09:03I just worked all night.
00:09:06Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Oh, so 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?
00:09:16Either 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.
00:09:31These credentials, other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:40Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51You'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:52This 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.
00:10:08Sir, 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.
00:10:38I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:58You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:14Or perhaps you're more concerned with 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 collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks?
00:11:39Including yours.
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded...
00:11:49Who'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, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:11That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
00:12:14Whatever 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.
00:12:23Christ.
00:12:24The resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston?
00:12:28Are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:32See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:36I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:39He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:42And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:55Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:04Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:07Three-times Apex award winner.
00:13:09For clinical research, is 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.
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, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:46See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:49Now, 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?
00:14:02The ER 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, three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:20We're losing patients.
00:14:22What are our options?
00:14:23There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the 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.
00:15:23Hello?
00:15:23Dr. Marksman?
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:32I'm on my way.
00:15:33With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:40They'll make me department head.
00:15:42And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:51Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:15:54Now, 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, the 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.
00:16:55You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent Nepo baby?
00:17:05I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:14Oh.
00:17:16Oh.
00:17:16Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:18Oh.
00:17:19Oh.
00:17:20Oh.
00:17:20Oh.
00:17:25We'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, not someone who sleeps while patients 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.
00:17:59Oh.
00:18:01Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:18:09Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:12You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:14Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:16I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:18Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:18:21I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:31President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:46You can count on that.
00:18:50No, no, no. Don'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, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:19:07and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:10You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:12Ah, yes. The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:19These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:39Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:50Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:19:58he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:02When?
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 price surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:26We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:28Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:36And if necessary,
00:20:38my 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?
00:21:02Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:07The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:09Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:11This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:15And when a complication occurs,
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.
00:21:56Adrian, 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 your power
00:22:05to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:09Fine.
00:22:09Go 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 my 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?
00:22:28Sir, 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.
00:22:50Plan's 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.
00:23:19Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:38Let 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.
00:23:56That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you since
00:24:02the 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?
00:24:15He 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,
00:24:31with 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.
00:24:39Dr. Hart,
00:24:40I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman
00:24:42represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised
00:24:45the patient's safety
00:24:46and...
00:24:47I don't believe
00:24:47I requested your medical opinion,
00:24:49Dr....
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time
00:24:53nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment.
00:24:57After he
00:24:58decided to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical
00:25:01surgical complication.
00:25:02His negligence
00:25:04led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions
00:25:06not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised
00:25:08is my hospital's reputation.
00:25:11Are you really willing
00:25:12to defend someone
00:25:13who violates
00:25:14the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult
00:25:17with your father
00:25:17before dismissing
00:25:18Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20Of course I consulted
00:25:21my father.
00:25:24He's the one
00:25:25who specifically mentioned
00:25:25his dangerous
00:25:26surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what
00:25:32President Vail
00:25:33really said?
00:25:34His exact words were
00:25:35remove him
00:25:36at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail
00:25:38was the one
00:25:39that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes
00:25:40absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The President
00:25:43wouldn't personally
00:25:44recruit a mid-level
00:25:45surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations
00:25:48were professional courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's
00:25:53the way things work
00:25:54at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing more
00:25:55to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider
00:25:59joining Heart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I...

00:26:06Protected research time.
00:26:09A surgical fellowship
00:26:10in your name.
00:26:11And a seven-figure salary package.

00:32:41thank you
00:32:42well sorry
00:32:44who's this
00:32:45nelson vale speaking
00:32:50president vale
00:32:51dr vivian hart here
00:32:53i am calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:32:56hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:33:00revolutionary surgical procedures are vale hospital's domain
00:33:05are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:08this is merely a professional courtesy call
00:33:11not an invitation for debate
00:33:13now just
00:33:14what is that conniving bitch plotting
00:33:22she knows adrian
00:33:24is our surgical secret weapon
00:33:26why would she deliberately provoke a medical war
00:33:29she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:33:31unless
00:33:34dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:43just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:45dad relax
00:33:47fired the other one
00:33:49that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:52then explain to me
00:33:53why hart medical center
00:33:55believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:58because i
00:34:01astrophily led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:04it's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:34:08i convinced vivian
00:34:10that she's acquired surgical brilliance
00:34:12when in reality
00:34:13she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:16so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:19she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:22behind vale hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:34:24that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:34:27impressive son
00:34:28you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:34:31i've been waiting to see out of you
00:34:33i think you're ready to take complete control
00:34:36of our experimental surgical division
00:34:38dad this
00:34:41this is everything i've worked for
00:34:43thank you
00:34:44we'll get to work immediately
00:34:45we're going to expose heart medical center
00:34:49for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:53their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:34:56i won't let you down
00:34:58darling
00:35:00surgical innovation is the future of vale
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
00:35:11i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:35:16remember we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:20you mean the surgeon that saved my life dr adrian marksman exactly and all i need to do
00:35:28is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents as long as adrian is with vale hospital heart medical center has no chance of competing not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster dr davis
00:35:34dr david marksman what we have to do now is sit back and watch her would be empire
00:36:04so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:08what do you think
00:36:11it's not bad
00:36:12it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:14what you've built here
00:36:16it's impressive viv
00:36:18it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:23you too
00:36:25you need to expand
00:36:27it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:30also
00:36:31i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:36we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:42and i always find the best one
00:36:53i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:54good
00:36:57the faster we rise
00:37:00the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:03this better be good
00:37:17mr vale
00:37:18you wanted to see me
00:37:21my father
00:37:26has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:30given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:33i'm appointing you head of innovation
00:37:35mr vale i uh
00:37:37is there an issue with that
00:37:39no absolutely not
00:37:41the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:37:44and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:37:47if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant
00:37:51resources to my personal research
00:37:53mr vale
00:37:55you can trust me completely
00:37:56i 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 what was their explanation
00:38:12they refused to disclose their reasons
00:38:14but there's talk they were recruited by a former veil physician
00:38:16along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:19former physician adrian marksman
00:38:21this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:24president what is our contingency plan
00:38:26the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:29if any more surgeons leave
00:38:30patients will suffer
00:38:31okay everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:34you still have me
00:38:37i can rebuild this department
00:38:39ah yes
00:38:40with your stellar reputation we should be able to get the best of the best
00:38:44exactly
00:38:45so we lost some second rate talent
00:38:48let him go
00:38:49i'll make some calls to cedar sinai
00:38:53and ucla
00:38:54good work marksman
00:38:57this 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
00:39:24it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:34this is dr parker here
00:39:39he's a triple board certified surgeon
00:39:41and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:44this is dr rose
00:39:45chen
00:39:46rose
00:39:47and thomas
00:39:48all consummate professionals
00:39:50my most trusted colleagues back at veil
00:39:53with this surgical team
00:39:57heart medical can revolutionize surgical care
00:40:00all across the country
00:40:02actually the whole world
00:40:04we're here to begin dr hart
00:40:06well
00:40:07welcome to heart medical center
00:40:09i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:40:14but
00:40:14i do need to be transparent
00:40:17we have got considerable ground to cover
00:40:19before we can truly challenge veil hospital's dominance
00:40:22have no fear dr hart
00:40:24with adrian leading our team
00:40:26we'll be three steps ahead of anything veil attempts
00:40:29yes but
00:40:30veil has already implemented adrian's
00:40:33breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:35yeah about that
00:40:36it's a preliminary version
00:40:38if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:41then what
00:40:42a lot of deaths
00:40:43a lot of lawsuits
00:40:45a lot of patients could be harmed
00:40:47or worse
00:40:48these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:40:52those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training
00:40:57without that foundation
00:40:59we're talking about serious complications
00:41:01preventable harm
00:41:03our first priority has to be patient safety
00:41:05we need to perfect these procedures
00:41:08and then we can find a way to prevent veil from continuing with the flawed protocols
00:41:13exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:15it's about saving lives
00:41:17we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at veil to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:30even if veil hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:36we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:41:39and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:43rest assured
00:41:44their outcomes will deteriorate
00:41:47i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:49remember this moment
00:41:51in this battle for medical supremacy

00:42:44you were our most brilliant resident in the program
00:42:48i never imagined someone like you would like me
00:42:51there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:42:53only you
00:42:55but you were completely oblivious
00:42:59and then you just
00:43:01vanished from the program
00:43:03well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:43:07i know
00:43:08your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:13back then i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:18you know when i established heart medical center
00:43:22my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:24but that manipulative tyrant nelson vail
00:43:29had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives
00:43:33i understand now
00:43:35so
00:43:43should we
00:43:45pick up where we left off in residency

00:45:49is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do
00:45:56you are completely worthless as surgeons
00:46:03dr marksman
00:46:04the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate
00:46:09we need at least uh six months to properly master
00:46:12six months
00:46:14you have 72 hours
00:46:16and i expect hourly updates on my desk
00:46:19sir
00:46:19brushing these delicate procedures
00:46:21dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications

00:50:02heart is best
00:50:19I'm going on the way.
00:50:32You always this disciplined?
00:50:34Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:38If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:41Midnight meetings.
00:50:43Long hours.
00:50:46This work ethic of yours.
00:50:48It's a little dangerous.
00:50:53That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:56Then they fired me.
00:51:00Then they were fools.
00:51:04You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:07You know that, right?
00:51:13You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:16I don't try.
00:51:18I do.
00:51:24Well, don't work too late.
00:51:30You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:31The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:44Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:51:46Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:51I give you one simple task and you screw it up.
00:51:55How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:59Vail General Hospital is the gold standard.
00:52:02And you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:05If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:10Is that clear?
00:52:11Yes, sir.
00:52:12This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:18Go.
00:52:19Mr. Vail, what a surprise.
00:52:27What a surprise.
00:52:28Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:30Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:32Of course.
00:52:34We're just refining the final stages.
00:52:38Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:41But there's a problem.
00:52:42I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:43No cover-ups.
00:52:44Of course, sir.
00:52:48Mr. Vail.
00:52:49Not now.
00:52:50Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:52It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:02Don't worry.
00:53:03When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:12Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:35The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:40Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:42Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:45I hope you're right.
00:53:47For your sake.
00:53:51Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:57It's not a success.
00:53:59Yet.
00:54:02Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:04Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:07it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:09Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:25Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:28That soon?
00:54:29They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:32It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:54:36You're saying we're ready?
00:54:40Why would I lie?
00:54:41We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:44Let him celebrate.
00:54:45It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:47How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:50Bib, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:55Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:57He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:59And?
00:54:59Their model's flawed.
00:55:01If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:06we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:09And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:10Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:20It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:23They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:27They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:31That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:35Which means we've already won.
00:55:38Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:40We should celebrate.
00:55:41What do you have in mind?
00:55:42Drinks?
00:55:43Not quite.
00:55:44You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:49Why?
00:55:50Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:54Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:57And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:14Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:17I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:21Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:28It's like the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:56:37It should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:42You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:46Stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:49Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:52Told her, meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:55Forget about her.
00:56:56She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:59We'll show you a better time.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:04Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:06Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:12Let me get to the door.
00:57:13The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please try again later.
00:57:38It's 20 in one day.
00:58:04All clean.
00:58:05All stable.
00:58:06The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No.
00:58:12We didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change there.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:23Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:30Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:36What the fuck?
00:58:53You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:55I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:58God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:01So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:59:05Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:32Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:35What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You're so sure about that?
00:59:39I mean, look at you.
00:59:40This is a black tie.
00:59:42I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:44Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:50The failed surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:58Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:01Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:03Pardon me.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:05Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:18I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:22Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:26The genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:29You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:31Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:33When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:41What are you talking about?
01:00:43Identity theft?
01:00:45Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:47Yours?
01:00:48Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:51If you don't got it, you just act like you do.
01:00:54Speaking from experience.
01:00:57Look around you.
01:00:59This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:02The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:04Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:09Good.
01:01:09I'm glad.
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:13Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:15That's enough.
01:01:16Guards!
01:01:18This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:21Kick him out.
01:01:23Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:26I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:32Grab him.
01:01:47Preston!
01:01:48What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:55This twat came in on invite.
01:01:56I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards!
01:01:58Remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:02You get out of my way!
01:02:04Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:05This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:09You are such a fool!
01:02:13Dad!
01:02:14What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:23Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:28My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vail, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:45Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:48Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:51I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:53Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56You're cold!
01:02:58It's cold!
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blanking?
01:03:06Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:07Shut up!
01:03:08Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:11This is ridiculous.
01:03:12I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:14Are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:19What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:26Right now.
01:03:28I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:30What if I kill him?
01:03:32I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:34I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:39David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go.
01:03:45I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I can't.
01:03:51I can't do this.
01:03:53Okay, I can't.
01:03:55I can't do this.
01:03:56I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:13Okay, okay.
01:04:15I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:20I got it, I got it, I got it.
01:04:25Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Pretty.
01:04:49Four.
01:04:50Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let out.
01:05:02Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:04Surgical genius.
01:05:07That's how Val makes history.
01:05:08Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:11Or at least a new department.
01:05:12If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:17Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:19That maneuver, that notebook.
01:05:24It's mine.
01:05:25Then tell them.
01:05:30Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional.
01:05:54Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:57The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:00That's mine.
01:06:02My handwriting.
01:06:03My theories.
01:06:05You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:08I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails,
01:06:15and it will,
01:06:18you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:23Not yet.
01:06:25But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:36We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:37Second patient today.
01:06:38Same issue.
01:06:39Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:42These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:43The fail method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:47I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:59I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:03Talk to me.
01:07:03Talk to me.
01:07:06The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:10This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:14Use the compression step.
01:07:15That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:18We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:23I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:32Without calibration.
01:07:35It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:36They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:41All good?
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:48Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:52Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know.
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:03And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:07Oh, shit.
01:08:14Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:17Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:19Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:23Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:32No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation,
01:08:38followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:49How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:54This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:56You stole his methods.
01:08:58This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:04Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:05Then prove me wrong.
01:09:07Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:12Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15He humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, I was fired.
01:09:17And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:24Yeah, you know what?
01:09:24This is pathetic.
01:09:26He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:28Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:33Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:41I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator and thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:02Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:10The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:15Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:27Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:30Because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:36And now, you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all.
01:10:42No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now.
01:10:45You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:50And probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision.
01:11:05Precision.
01:11:05Development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage.
01:11:18Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal.
01:11:30I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:35You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:40He put lives at risk.
01:11:41To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:45We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:48This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:52Oh, it's your night.
01:11:54It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:56You lied to me.
01:11:57You lied to me.
01:11:59I didn't lie.
01:12:00I simplified the truth.
01:12:02Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:08You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:11You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:21Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:12:31I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:48And without him, it won't.
01:12:50This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:58You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:09Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:12I'm your son.
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:16And so will the board.
01:13:17We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:31That's enough.
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale.
01:13:36Dr. David Marksman.
01:13:38Come with us.
01:13:40Dad.
01:13:41You're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No.
01:13:44Don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey, Dad!
01:13:47I'm your side belt, Dad!
01:13:49You're just getting some son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:51Do something, please!
01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52I'm just...
01:13:53I'm not a child!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:13:56I'm your son of a man.
01:14:03Adrian, please.
01:14:05I made a mistake.
01:14:06I see that now.
01:14:07I should have believed in you.
01:14:09I should have stood by you.
