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.
00:03:56I'll take a minute.
00:04:16Bye.
00:04:21They're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, 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, it's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:52Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:22Blueberry, your favorite?
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:36I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:40It just feels different.
00:05:49It's the third time this week.
00:05:50Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:21Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Bale, Preston Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife who just recovered from an experimental pancreatico duodenectomy.
00:06:36I'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 right...
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:49Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:53You'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 posers.
00:07:05Attention.
00:07:06Need 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.
00:07:20Who 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.
00:07:41That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:50you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
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.
00:08:10Well, 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.
00:08:27But 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 your diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:43He'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, okay?
00:09:06I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona.
00:09:39Dr. Marksman.
00:09:41You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:46Fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51Or get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:59I see.
00:10:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who...
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:14Beat it.
00:10:16Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:38I understand.
00:10:39Hospital politics.
00:10:41Look, 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.
00:10:49You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:00If the board won't like this, four attendings dismissed in one day, patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:19Your 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, including yours?
00:11:40The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:50Hey, Dad.
00:11:59What's wrong?
00:12:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:02She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course.
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.
00:12:40He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:42And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:45The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:49Ah, 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.
00:13:08Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:10Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:11That's our man.
00:13:12There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:17Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor.
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.
00:13:31I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:45See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:50Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vail, sir.
00:13:55Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:57Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:59The six-car pileup.
00:14:00You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:01What's your point?
00:14:02ER is crashing.
00:14:04We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:11Give me the situation.
00:14:13Now.
00:14:14Six critical traumas.
00:14:16Three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries.
00:14:19Arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:20We're losing patients.
00:14:22What are our options?
00:14:23There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the man we need.
00:14:34Fiona, call him.
00:14:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:39The one I didn't fire.
00:14:40Keep up.
00:14:45What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:51Idiot 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?
00:15:24Dr. 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.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:15:54Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:07Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:09I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:12You're my future.
00:16:14That's my girl.
00:16:15Beyond a shift in it an hour ago, 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?
00:17:04I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:14Oh.
00:17:16Oh.
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.
00:17:44Not 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.
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.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:24Get 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.
00:18:44You 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, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:13Ah, yes.
00:19:13The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:19These 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.
00:19:35He was sleeping, while the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:40Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:50Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:01When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:03Dismissed 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.
00:20:29Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:35And if necessary, my 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.
00:20:49And Adrian Marksman?
00:20:51He's leaving with me.
00:20:53Oh, feasance.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Oh, 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.
00:21:10This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:15And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me.
00:21:23The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:29If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.
00:21:33I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:46What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:21:54Adrien, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now, or we'll do everything in the power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:09Come on.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:18You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:22Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:41I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment, Dr. 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 in 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, you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:23:15Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:19Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:38Let him go.
00:23:38Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Hart Medical Center.
00:23:47I know you.
00:23:50You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:55That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:24:10Wait.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:18Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:23Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:24:29Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised the patient's safety and...
00:24:47I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr...
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:24:57After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:03His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:09Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:24He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:34His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:37President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute.
00:25:56To any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I've...
00:26:05Full department autonomy.
00:26:06Protected research time.
00:26:08A surgical fellowship in your name.
00:26:11And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:27Okay.
00:26:30That was right.
00:26:36Okay.
00:26:37Okay.
00:26:37Let's get started.
00:26:39Okay.
00:26:40Good.

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

00:28:00dr hart for the sake of your own reputation

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
00:33:38do then do you have no chance of winning in her family are you in her life to be a child
00:33:41dad 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
00:33:51then explain to me why heart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:59because i masterfully led vivian hart 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.
00:34:12But 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.
00:34:26Impressive, 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 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.
00:35:05Do 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.
00:35:35As 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?
00:36:10What 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.
00:36:19It'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 Vail 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.
00:36:56Good.
00:36:58The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:06This better be good.
00:37:17Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:37:25My 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. Vail, I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue with that?
00:37:38No, absolutely not.
00:37:40The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:37:43And President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:37:47If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:53Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:37:56I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:37:58Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:37:59Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:00The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:01What?
00:38:02They both resigned at once?
00:38:03What was their explanation?
00:38:04They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:05But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician.
00:38:06Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:07Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:09Preston, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:10The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:11If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:12Okay.
00:38:13Everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:14You still have me.
00:38:15I can rebuild this department.
00:38:16Ah, yes.
00:38:17I can.
00:38:18I can.
00:38:19I can.
00:38:20I can.
00:38:21I can.
00:38:22I can.
00:38:23I can.
00:38:24I can.
00:38:25I can.
00:38:26I can.
00:38:27I can.
00:38:28I can.
00:38:29I can.
00:38:30I can.
00:38:31I can.
00:38:32I can.
00:38:33I can.
00:38:34I can.
00:38:35I can.
00:38:36I can.
00:38:37I can.
00:38:38I can.
00:38:39I can.
00:38:40I can.
00:38:41I feel am scared to build this department.
00:38:42Ah, yes.
00:38:43With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:45Exactly.
00:38:46So, we lost some second rate talent.
00:38:48Let him go.
00:38:49I'll make some calls to Cedar Sinai and UCLA.
00:38:58Good work, Marksman.
00:39:01This 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.
00:39:32It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:35This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:39He'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.
00:39:56With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:03Actually, the whole world.
00:40:04We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:06Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:11I 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.
00:40:22Have 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.
00:40:38If 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.
00:40:48These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:40:52Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without 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 eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:31Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:39And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this moment.
00:41:52In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:03It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track of time again.
00:42:09Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:16Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:19Do you mind?
00:42:21No.
00:42:23I mean, yeah.
00:42:26Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:29Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:37You really, really like me?
00:42:39Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:43Nothing's changed.
00:42:45You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:42:49I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:51There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:54Only you.
00:42:57But you were completely oblivious.
00:42:59And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:07I know.
00:43:08I 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, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:24But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:33So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:48You're the boss.
00:43:49That's right.
00:43:50And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:57You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:00Hospital privileges, research funding.
00:44:04Even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:14Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:23Hmm.
00:44:27All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends on the company.
00:44:39Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure about that?
00:44:49We 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, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:14Plenty of room.
00:45:17If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight, at least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you your room.
00:45:36Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:47Things could get dangerous.
00:45:49Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:01You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:04Dr. Marksman.
00:46:05The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:10We need at least six months to properly master.
00:46:13Six months?
00:46:14You have 72 hours.
00:46:16And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:19Sir, brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26And you don't get one hour more.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:30Go.
00:46:30Go.
00:46:34Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:38We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:53Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:05Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:15Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:43I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:47:49You're finally awake.
00:48:08You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:15All right.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:22When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:28Good.
00:48:31Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:40Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:53We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.
00:48:57So, let's get to it.
00:48:59Start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized arrangements with the board.
00:49:06And upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:17And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:31At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:47Absolutely.
00:49:48You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:49:52With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:55Hart is best.
00:49:56Hart is best.
00:49:57Hart is best.
00:49:59Hart is best.
00:50:00Hart is best.
00:50:00Hart is best.
00:50:30Are you always this disciplined?
00:50:34Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:37If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:41Midnight meetings.
00:50:43Long hours.
00:50:46This work ethic of yours.
00:50:49It's a little dangerous.
00:50:53That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:56Then they fired me.
00:51:00And they were fools.
00:51:04You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:07You know that, right?
00:51:13You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:16I don't try.
00:51:20I do.
00:51:21Well, don't work too late.
00:51:30You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:31The incompetence is, uh, is staggering.
00:51:44Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:51:49Do 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.
00:52:06If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow,
00:52:08you'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.
00:52:24Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:26What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:28Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:30We on schedule or not?
00:52:32Of course.
00:52:34We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:37Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:41There's a problem, I 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.
00:52:55It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold
00:52:59on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:02Don't worry.
00:53:03When Preston makes me chief medical officer,
00:53:05I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:19Today, Vail Hospital officially launched
00:53:21its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care
00:53:27is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program
00:53:33was released on the same day.
00:53:35The question now is,
00:53:37who 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,
00:53:53if the rollout went well,
00:53:54that 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,
00:54:06it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:54:08for 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.
00:54:34It'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
00:54:52when 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
00:55:03without realizing their structural failure
00:55:04and 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
00:55:12as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So you're saying that Vail Hospital
00:55:17has been refining the prototype surgical method
00:55:19that 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.
00:55:28They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:30That 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.
00:55:45You 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.
00:56:00Kristen, we've been through so much together.
00:56:17I know where I'm headed in life,
00:56:19and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:22Tonight, at this launch party,
00:56:25celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:28it's the perfect moment to ask.
00:56:30Jack, will you marry me?
00:56:37You should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:43You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vale?
00:56:46Stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah, yeah, 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.
00:57:00Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:10You ladies are crazy.
00:57:12I'm gonna get you through it.
00:57:13The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please try again later
00:58:02It's 21 day
00:58:04All clean all stable experimental procedures are all working. Dr. Marksman
00:58:09You did it
00:58:11No, we did
00:58:16Dr. Marksman you have to get to Bale's launch party pronto. You're already late. I need a change there. You don't have time. Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something. She 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 Bale Hospital's revolutionary surgical program
00:58:36What the fuck you're my date and you're wasted I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you
00:58:57Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did so if you want to keep your job and your status sober up for God's sakes
00:59:04Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge? It's giving orderly sheep
00:59:14Maybe he's here to bust tables
00:59:18What are you doing at our launch party you weren't invited so sure about that? I mean look at you. This is a black tie
00:59:27I mean not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is
00:59:31Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter the found surgeon the fraud the nobody
00:59:36Show up to my party in dirty scrubs marksman
00:59:40Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter
00:59:42The found surgeon, the fraud, the nobody
00:59:47Show up to my party in dirty scrubs marksman
00:59:50Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter
00:59:52The nobody
00:59:53Show up to my party in dirty scrubs marksman
00:59:57Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals in the low lives
01:00:01Guess I need to fire them too
01:00:02Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery
01:00:05Because some of us here are real surgeons
01:00:07What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody
01:00:14Isn't me
01:00:16I can't have him expose me in front of all these people
01:00:21Got some nerve talking to my man marksman like that
01:00:25The genius like him leading our surgical team
01:00:28You 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
01:00:34For medical malpractice, criminal negligence
01:00:37And 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?
01:00:47Let me give you a little bit of advice, marksman
01:00:50If you don't got it, at least act like you do
01:00:54Speaking from experience
01:00:55Look 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
01:01:07Doesn't make you one of us
01:01:08Good
01:01:09I'm glad
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me
01:01:12Isn't that right?
01:01:14Dr. Marksman
01:01:15That's enough
01:01:16Guards
01:01:17This former employee is threatening us
01:01:20Kick him out
01:01:21Touch me and you'll regret it
01:01:24I'm here tonight with a very important guest

01:02:22You are a
01:02:23Disgraced
01:02:26Dad
01:02:26My hospital meant something and
01:02:29You turned it into a
01:02:32Into a
01:02:33Dad
01:02:35Dad
01:02:40President Vail
01:02:43Fuck away from my dad

01:02:48Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad
01:02:51I'll die before I trust you two
01:02:52Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56Do something
01:02:57It's cold!
01:02:58It'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
01:03:14Why are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:17What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help
01:03:21Just ask
01:03:22All you have to do is admit what you did
01:03:24Right here
01:03:25Right now
01:03:27I can't blow my cover, but
01:03:29What 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
01:03:36I did medical school on Zoom
01:03:38David!
01:03:40This is a matter of life and death
01:03:43Let it go!
01:03:44I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I can't
01:03:50I can't do this
01:03:52Okay, I can't
01:03:54I can't do this
01:03:56I can't do this
01:03:58Without
01:03:58My notebook
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook
01:04:05He stole it from me
01:04:06Okay, okay
01:04:14I'm gonna need
01:04:16A fork
01:04:17And a glass of water
01:04:18Okay
01:04:20I gotta, I gotta
01:04:23Here, take it, take it
01:04:26Okay
01:04:27Alright, hold his head
01:04:28But tilt it back
01:04:29And apply pressure
01:04:31Here
01:04:32Okay
01:04:34Okay
01:04:45Okay
01:04:47Ready
01:04:48Pull
01:04:49Pull
01:04:50Oh my God
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let it out
01:04:57Thank you
01:05:01That's my guy
01:05:04Surgical genius
01:05:06That's how Val makes history
01:05:08Somebody get this man a medal
01:05:10Or at least a new department
01:05:12If you still want that chief medical officer position
01:05:15Say the word
01:05:16Now
01:05:17Do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:19That maneuver
01:05:22That notebook
01:05:24It's mine
01:05:25Then tell them
01:05:26Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program
01:05:34At another fake hospital
01:05:36Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42Ha ha ha
01:05:43That procedure David used
01:05:48I invented it
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional
01:05:53Ha ha ha
01:05:54Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license
01:05:57The notebook he used to save your father
01:05:59That's mine
01:06:01My 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
01:06:12And when it fails
01:06:14And it will
01:06:16You're not the ones that'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 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
01:06:41These techniques aren't viable
01:06:43The veil method doesn't hold under stress
01:06:45I 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
01:07:03Talk to me
01:07:06The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again
01:07:09This is the second patient bleeding out tonight
01:07:11Use the compression step
01:07:15That only works in controlled scenarios
01:07:18We told you these procedures weren't fully tested
01:07:21Look, just follow the notes
01:07:23I designed those techniques for 101 guidance
01:07:30Not mass implementation
01:07:31Without calibration
01:07:33It's unstable
01:07:35It's dangerous
01:07:36They tried to commercialize your success without you
01:07:39Now people are paying for it
01:07:42All good?
01:07:44Of course
01:07:45Just routine coordination
01:07:47Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss
01:07:51Your surgical program is failing
01:07:53And patients are suffering
01:07:54You'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
01:08:01I invented
01:08:02And I'm the only one in this room
01:08:04Who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing
01:08:07Bullshit
01:08:08Oh yes, this 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
01:08:27Because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed
01:08:31No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:35With selective hepatic arterial legation
01:08:38Followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:41Using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures
01:08:45Yes
01:08:46Yes
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
01:09:03Uh, that's a lie
01:09:05Then prove me wrong
01:09:06Show them all a technique that I didn't create
01:09:09Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired
01:09:15Humiliated
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
01:09:23Yeah, you 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 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
01:09:41I 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
01:10:01Adrian just cleaned up your mess
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready
01:10:08And you fired him
01:10:10The 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 perfectly well
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity
01:10:23And you've disgraced them both
01:10:26Your father nearly died because of your ego
01:10:29Because of his lies
01:10:32You saved me
01:10:34You saved Nelson
01:10:36And now you 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 at Vale
01:10:47More than either of those two
01:10:49And 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
01:10:58With procedures still in development
01:11:00They weren't ready
01:11:02They needed supervision
01:11:03Precision
01:11:05Development
01:11:06Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that
01:11:13Security footage
01:11:15Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital
01:11:21Already submitted to the board
01:11:24I built on what he started
01:11:27Okay
01:11:28I 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
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
01:11:50This was supposed to be our night
01:11:52Oh, it's your night
01:11:53It's just not the way you thought it'd be
01:11:56You lied to me
01:11:59I didn't lie
01:12:00I simplified the truth
01:12:01Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people
01:12:07You nearly killed the president of the hospital
01:12:10You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready
01:12:13That's malpractice
01:12:15They worked
01:12:16Nelson's alive
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive
01:12:20Yeah, because of me
01:12:21Those methods require sequential tensioning
01:12:24Breath control
01:12:25Special clamp techniques
01:12:26Getting 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
01:12:36Not without training
01:12:38You'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
01:12:47And 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
01:13:04You propped up this fraud
01:13:08Taking his side, dad?
01:13:12I'm your son
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth
01:13:15And 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
01:13:32Mr. Preston Vale
01:13:35Dr. David Marksman
01:13:37Come with us
01:13:39Dad
01:13:40You'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 back
01:13:48You're just kidding, son of a
01:13:50Dad, why are you?
01:13:51Get off me
01:13:52I'm just a child
01:13:53You're not a child
01:13:54You're not my responsibility
01:13:56Adrian, please
01:14:04I made a mistake
01:14:06I see that now
01:14:07I should have believed in you
01:14:08I should have stood by you
01:14:10You were right about everything
01:14:13Just give me a second chance
01:14:17Please
01:14:19I still love you
01:14:21Love?
01:14:23You traded him the second someone flashier walked by
01:14:26You don't understand
01:14:28I thought he was finished
01:14:30I thought he had nothing left
01:14:33So you sold him out
01:14:35Mocked him
01:14:36Over and over again
01:14:38I was scared
01:14:40I
01:14:40I didn't know what to do
01:14:42Oh, you knew
01:14:43You just didn't care
01:14:44Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser
01:14:49Please
01:14:50Say something
01:14:52Anything
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona
01:14:56And he spent it holding Preston's arm
01:14:59While they tried to bury me alive
01:15:01You always belonged in my operating room
01:15:12And I should have fought harder to keep you
01:15:15If I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes
01:15:18The 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
01:15:28And I want you back
01:15:30As Vale's chief
01:15:32Of experimental surgery
01:15:34I'm sorry, Dr. Vale
01:15:38You had your chance, too
01:15:40I'm not the same man that you fired
01:15:43Well
01:15:44All the more reason we need you back at Vale
01:15:47Adrian 2.0
01:15:49I'm not coming back
01:15:50You're choosing her
01:15:54Our rival
01:15:55You arrogant little ingrate
01:15:58I open the door for you
01:16:00And you slam it in my face
01:16:02Just typical
01:16:04Just when you had your moment
01:16:06You turned your back on it
01:16:08For, for what, her?
01:16:10She's just gonna use you up
01:16:11And toss you aside like everyone else
01:16:14Oh, projecting much, Nelson
01:16:16Get me out of here
01:16:19Now
01:16:20Now
01:16:22Cormac has good timing
01:16:38Speaking of timing
01:16:42We should get back to work
01:16:44We have lives to save
01:16:46Hey, not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59Well, it's been a time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:13I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:18And 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.
01:17:39Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides being you, of course.
01:17:46Speaker 1, 2, 3 are the best of all time.
01:17:59You are.
01:18:00You're.
01:18:00You're.
01:18:01You're.
01:18:01I love.
01:18:02You're.
01:18:03You're.
01:18:03I loved.
01:18:04You're.
01:18:04You're.
01:18:05I'm.
01:18:05You're.
01:18:06I love.
01:18:07You're not.
01:18:07You're not.
