00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients
00:00:07flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department. The fate of these accident victims now rests in the
00:00:13hands of Vail's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now! All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding. Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:30We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:50Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this.
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:00Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. 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.
00:01:17I need some bomb scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:28Bovey Cottery. Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:41The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:44But how? But how did he...
00:01:48Silk 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.
00:02:04This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:19Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:30That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait. I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who
00:02:43revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General. Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:00Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses, they said you did it. And you, you 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 you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vail.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later. Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:43I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:56Good work, everyone.
00:04:06you're all stable every single one of them stabilized
00:04:25oh the sun's coming up you must operate it all night you're a machine

00:25:01surgical complication
00:25:02his negligence

00:25:25his dangerous
00:25:26surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated
00:25:28reputation
00:25:29dangerous shortcuts

00:27:14this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at vale
00:27:18and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:27:22medical board should review your hiring practices
00:27:27vivian i appreciate your confidence this isn't about money

00:30:02and with an explanation to every affected vale 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 baseless it's absurd
00:30:16what exactly do you think you're gonna do about it
00:30:19you 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
00:30:26have your attorney send a formal complaint to hart medical center
00:30:30we'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war
00:30:35if it's war you want i will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that i've got
00:30:42let's go one more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill
00:30:46mr vale don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners

00:32:18hospital expansion again sir i'm deeply honored
00:32:23behold vale hospital's new chief of surgery let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now
00:32:40glad you're feeling better honey thank you yeah oh sorry who's this
00:32:45nelson vale speaking president vale dr vivian hart here i am calling to let you know that as of this
00:32:56morning hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena revolutionary surgical
00:33:02procedures are vale hospital's domain are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:09this is merely a professional courtesy call not an invitation for debate now just
00:33:20just that conniving bitch plotting she knows adrian is our surgical secret weapon why would she
00:33:27deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning unless
00:33:38dad we've got multiple traumas coming in just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:46dad relax i fired the other one that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:52then explain to me why hart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:59because i masterfully led vivian hard into a false sense of reality
00:34:04It's the way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:08I convinced Vivi that she's acquired surgical brilliance,
00:34:12when in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:16So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:24That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:27Impressive, son. You'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 of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:40Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.
00:34:43We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:45We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:52Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:34:56I won't let you down.
00:34:58Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:03Preston 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.
00:35:15Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:20You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:22Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:24Exactly.
00:35:25And all I need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:34As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:42Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:51What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:04So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what 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, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:18It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:23You too.
00:36:25We need to expand.
00:36:27It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:30Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:36:40We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:42And I always find the best one.
00:36:48I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:36:55Good.
00:36:57The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:03This better be good.
00:37:16Mr. Vale?
00:37:18You wanted to see me?
00:37:20My 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.
00:37:35Mr. Vale, I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue with that?
00:37:39No, absolutely not.
00:37:41The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vale 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. Vale, 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.
00:38:03Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:06The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:08What?
00:38:09They both resigned at once?
00:38:10What was their explanation?
00:38:11They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:13But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician.
00:38:16Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:18Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:24Preston, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:28If 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.
00:38:39Ah, yes.
00:38:40With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:43Exactly.
00:38:44So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:47Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:38:55Good 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.
00:39:17It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:18This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:23He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:27And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:28This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:30All consummate professionals.
00:39:32My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:39:33With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:39:38Actually, the whole world.
00:39:39We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:39:41We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:39:42Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:39:44I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us.
00:39:47But I do need to be transparent.
00:39:50I'm the biggest one.
00:39:52We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:39:54Here we go.
00:39:57And thank you so much, Felicia.
00:40:00And Thomas, all consummate professionals.
00:40:02My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:40:05With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:09Actually, the whole world.
00:40:10We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:13Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:16transparent. We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's
00:40:22dominance. Have no fear, Dr. Hart. With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of
00:40:27anything Vail attempts. Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical
00:40:34procedure protocols. Yeah, about that. It's a preliminary version. If they continue to develop
00:40:40this approach without modification, then what? A lot of deaths, a lot of lawsuits, a lot of patients
00:40:47could be harmed or worse. These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper
00:40:52refinement. Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without
00:40:58that foundation. We're talking about serious complications, preventable harm. Our first
00:41:03priority has to be patient safety. We need to perfect these procedures and then we can find a
00:41:09way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols. Exactly. It's not about competition or
00:41:15pride. It's about saving lives. We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail
00:41:24to develop next generation surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and
00:41:30inefficiencies. Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create
00:41:36something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage. And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed
00:41:43protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate. I don't wish it upon their patients,
00:41:49that's for sure. Remember this moment. In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will
00:41:56emerge victorious.
00:42:00It's 3am. Lost track of time again.
00:42:10Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:15Looks like you could use a nice rub. Do you mind? No. I mean, yeah. Will you give all your surgeons
00:42:27massages? Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:32You really, really like me? Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency. Nothing's changed.
00:42:43You were our most brilliant resident in the program. I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:50There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:53Only you.
00:42:56But you were completely oblivious. And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:02Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:06I know. Your talent was extraordinary even then. Back then, I made a promise to myself that
00:43:16we would work together again someday. You know, when I established Heart Medical Center,
00:43:21my first priority was recruiting you. But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale,
00:43:28had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:34I understand now.
00:43:38So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:48You're the boss. That's right. And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:54Tonight?
00:43:56You lost everything when Preston fired you. Hospital privileges, research funding,
00:44:04even your hospital subsidized apartment. You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:27All right. I'll admit it. That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman. I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends on the company.
00:44:39Well, starting tonight, this is your new home. Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:47Are you sure about that? We already work late hours. Living together could get complicated.
00:44:55Well, I like complicated. Keeps things interesting.
00:45:00And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:03Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room.
00:45:17If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax. I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight, at least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:33I'll show you your room.
00:45:37Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:42Things could get dangerous.
00:45:54Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:45:56You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:03Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:09We need at least six months to properly master-
00:46:13Six months? You have 72 hours. And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:18Sir, brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days. Then you don't get one hour more. Go. Go.
00:46:34Report, Dr. Marksman. What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress, Mr. Vale. We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:49Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding. When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:04Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot. Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's... I am profoundly grateful, sir. Thank you.
00:47:53You're finally awake.
00:48:08You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:15All right. Ooh, breakfast. Looks good. Thank you.
00:48:20When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing. Sound good?
00:48:26Yes. Absolutely.
00:48:28Good. Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:36Extra special.
00:48:48Okay, team. We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:52We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:48:58Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations,
00:49:10each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:17And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:29At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:41Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:47Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital won't know what hit him. With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:54Heart is best! Heart is best! Heart is best! Heart is best! Heart is best!
00:50:00Heart is best! Heart is best!
00:50:27you always this disciplined
00:50:33or are you just trying to impress me
00:50:36if i was trying to impress you you even know
00:50:40midnight meetings
00:50:42long hours
00:50:45this work ethic of yours
00:50:48it's a little dangerous
00:50:50that's what bell used to say about me
00:50:55then they fired me
00:50:58and they were fools
00:51:01you've earned more than just respect here adrian
00:51:06you know that right
00:51:09you trying to motivate me again
00:51:15i don't try

00:51:21well
00:51:24don't work too late
00:51:26you're no good to me burnt out
00:51:32the incompetence is uh

00:51:58vale general hospital
00:52:00is 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
00:52:08you're both gone
00:52:09is that clear
00:52:10yes sir
00:52:12this is the man i trusted to lead my surgical team
00:52:16go
00:52:19oh mr vale
00:52:26what a what a what a surprise

00:52:34we're just refining the final stages
00:52:37yeah
00:52:38everything is under control
00:52:40good
00:52:41there's a problem i expect to hear it from you

00:52:49not now
00:52:49go get me the latest performance reports
00:52:52it uh
00:52:56looks like preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here
00:53:01don't worry
00:53:02when preston makes me chief medical officer
00:53:05i'm gonna need someone
00:53:07flexible in my corner
00:53:09i was back at the winning team dr marksman
00:53:12today vale 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
00:53:30especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day
00:53:35the question now is
00:53:37who will define the future of surgery
00:53:39relax mr vale
00:53:41heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:44i hope you're right
00:53:46for your sake
00:53:49didn't you say that uh
00:53:53if the rollout went well that 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 don't outshine heart medical
00:54:06it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:54:08for a long time
00:54:09doctor heart we uh have a problem
00:54:23vale hospital's new surgical program launches today
00:54:28that's soon
00:54:29they're hosting a big celebration party tonight
00:54:32it's a good thing we're ahead of you're saying we're ready
00:54:39why would i lie
00:54:40we've been tracking vales every move
00:54:43let him celebrate
00:54:45it's just gonna backfire
00:54:46how exactly does that work in our favor
00:54:49bib do you remember what i told you
00:54:52when you first brought me here
00:54:54preston vale is rushing this
00:54:57he's desperate to beat us to the market
00:54:58and
00:54:59their model's flawed
00:55:00if they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach
00:55:05we won't have to lift a damn finger
00:55:08and what about when it falls apart
00:55:10then heart medical takes over as the future of modern surgery
00:55:13so you're saying that vale 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
00:55:25full of mistakes that i won't make again
00:55:27they don't even realize the cracks in 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 day for us

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.
00:58:32Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:50What 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, God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:00So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:20Did 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.
00:59:46Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:49The failed surgeon, the fraud, the 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 I need to fire them, too.
01:00:03Pardon me, I 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.
01:00:15I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:22Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:26A 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.
01:00:39What 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, at least act like you do.
01:00:54Speaking from experience.
01:00:57Look around you.
01:00:58This 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.
01:01:24I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:32Grab him.
01:01:46Preston.
01:01:48What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh, relax?
01:01:55This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:56I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards, remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vale, 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...
01:02:22Uh, you are, uh...
01:02:24Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:27Uh, my hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Oh!
01:02:35Ah!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:36Ah!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:40President Vale.
01:02:44Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:46Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:49Oh 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!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56Do something.
01:02:57It's cold.
01:02:57It's cold.
01:02:58Can'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.
01:03:15Why are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:17Uh, what'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.
01:03:27I 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...
01:03:48I can't.
01:03:50I 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.
01:04:03That'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.
01:04:18Okay.
01:04:19Okay.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:20I got it, I got it.
01:04:23Here, 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.
01:04:34Okay.
01:04:34Okay.
01:04:34Okay.
01:04:36Okay.
01:04:43Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Okay.
01:04:47Brady.
01:04:48Fall.
01:04:50Oh, man.
01:04:54Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:05:03That'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?
01:05:21That maneuver.
01:05:23That 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?
01:05:46That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional.
01:05:53Somebody, 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.
01:06:04I'm 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,
01:06:17you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:22You can't prove that.
01:06:22Not yet.
01:06:24But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:32Our 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 veil 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.
01:06:51I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:06Talk to me.
01:07:07The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:09This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:14Use the compression step.
01:07:16That only works in control scenarios.
01:07:18We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:21Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:27I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:32Without calibration.
01:07:34It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:37They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:43All good?
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:48Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:51Your 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.
01:08:07Bullshit.
01:08:07Oh, shit.
01:08:14Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:16Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:19Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:22Your 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.
01:08:50How 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.
01:09:15Humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, I was fired.
01:09:18And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:24You know what?
01:09:25This is pathetic.
01:09:25He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:29Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:34Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:52I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:55And 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, the one person who could make them safe.
01:10:13Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it.
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.
01:10:26Your father nearly died because of your ego, because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:37And now you can save Vale.
01:10:39I 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, and probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:54Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision, precision, development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:13Security footage of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started, okay?
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.
01:11:39He put lives at risk to 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.
01:11:49This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:53Oh, it's your night.
01:11:55It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
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.
01:12:07You 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?
01:12:32I tested them for years.
01:12:33It 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 Morksman 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?
01:13:11I'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, Dr. David Morksman, come with us.
01:13:40Dad, you're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No, don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey, Dad!
01:13:47I'm your side-built base!
01:13:49You're just kidding, son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:51Get off me!
01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52I'm just...
01:13:53I'm not a child!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:13:56Oh!
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.
01:14:11You were right about everything.
01:14:12Just give me a second chance.
01:14:18Please.
01:14:20I still love you.
01:14:23Love?
01:14:23You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:27You don't understand.
01:14:29I thought he was finished.
01:14:32I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:33So you sold him out.
01:14:35Mocked him.
01:14:37Over and over again.
01:14:39I was scared.
01:14:40I...
01:14:41I didn't know what to do.
01:14:42Oh, you knew.
01:14:43You just didn't care.
01:14:45Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:49Please.
01:14:51Say something.
01:14:54Anything.
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:57And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:01You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:13And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:19The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:23And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:27We're rebuilding.
01:15:29And I want you back.
01:15:31As Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:36I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Oh.
01:15:44All the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:47Adrian 2.0.
01:15:49I'm not coming back.
01:15:53You're choosing her?
01:15:55Our rival?
01:15:56You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:58I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:03Just typical.
01:16:05Just when you had your moment, you turn your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:10She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:14Oh.
01:16:15Projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:16Get me out of here.
01:16:19Now.
01:16:20Oh!
01:16:21Oh!
01:16:22Oh!
01:16:23Oh!
01:16:24Oh!
01:16:25Oh!
01:16:26Oh!
01:16:27Oh!
01:16:28Oh!
01:16:29Oh!
01:16:30Oh!
01:16:31Oh!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:33Oh!
01:16:34Oh!
01:16:35Oh!
01:16:37Corma has good timing.
01:16:41Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey!
01:16:47Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:57Now?
01:16:58Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:10It's not bad.
01:17:12I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:19And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:27You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:30But I am very thorough.
01:17:33I'll never be afraid of the international account.
01:17:39Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:43Besides being here, of course.
01:17:45I will go.
