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.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Metz and bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. 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.
00:02:17I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:24Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:30What? That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait. 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. Miss 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.
00:03:58Good work, everyone.
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:00Oh, yeah.
00:04:01And the trees.
00:04:02Oh, yeah.
00:04:03I need them to help them too.
00:04:05Good work.
00:04:06Good work now.
00:04:06Good work, guys.
00:04:07Ahh, yeah.
00:04:07Always.
00:04:08Cool!
00:04:09Good work!
00:04:11I'm main on this step now.
00:04:12By doing an apartment training baby!
00:04:15Those semanas become throbically 37 Br0 in Youtube, but progressively
00:04:18I'm gutted flatmate.
00:04:18You guys hear that.
00:04:21They are all stable!
00:04:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:32We 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.
00:05:04Been operating all night.
00:05:06Sealed 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?
00:06:24Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Bale, Preston Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about last...
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,
00:07:13every 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
00:07:47and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:50you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop
00:07:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:59Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:04That was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:10Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:16Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired.
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:35Do 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?
00:08:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:04I just worked all night.
00:09:06Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:29There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:40Dr. Marksman.
00:09:42You are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51You'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57What?
00:09:57I 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.
00:10:16Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:19I understand.
00:10:39I understand.
00:10:40Hospital 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.
00:10:49Do you care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:00Do you care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:02The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:12I intend to wield it.
00:11:14Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:19Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:25I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:30Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:55Hey, 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?
00:12:26Preston?
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 the surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:42And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:54Ah, 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.
00:13:29Good work, son.
00:13:32I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh, just take care of mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:45See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:50Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:55Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:57Multiple traumas incoming, the 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, three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:20We're losing patients.
00:14:22What are our options?
00:14:23There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He had four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the thing we need.
00:14:34Fiona, call him.
00:14:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:39The one I didn't fire.
00:14:40Keep up.
00:14:45The hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:48The idiot left us research notes.
00:15:06Hmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:13These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:14Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:23Hello?
00:15:23Dr. Marksman?
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:31I'm on my way.
00:15:36With 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.
00:16:04Now, 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.
00:16:30Piece 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.
00:17:10You're a loser.
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.
00:18:20I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:31President 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,
00:19:04we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident.
00:19:08And the situation is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:12Ah, yes, the very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:20These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed, 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,
00:19:58he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:00When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:04Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:07Huh.
00:20:09Amazing.
00:20:10I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:20:15was 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?
00:20:26Well, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:29Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:36And if necessary,
00:20:37my personal involvement.
00:20:41His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:45Have my car brought round.
00:20:47I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:50And Adrian Marksman?
00:20:51He's leaving with me.
00:20:53Alphisans?
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:07The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:09Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:11This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:14And when a complication occurs,
00:21:16which happened in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me.
00:21:24The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:26isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:29If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine
00:21:37with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:40What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:51or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:53for criminal negligence.
00:21:55Adrian, I never realized
00:21:57you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now,
00:22:04or we'll do that by giving you the power
00:22:05to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:07Fine.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:14holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:18You really underestimate my family's influence,
00:22:21don't you?
00:22:23Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:24can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:29that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all, he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:33wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:40I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted
00:22:47from Vail Hospital
00:22:48and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:50Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:52Do you know what that means?
00:22:54It means that you will never practice medicine
00:22:57in this country again.
00:22:58I have one question before I go.
00:23:03Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:06My father's the one who asked me to fire you,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:14didn't you?
00:23:15Security, remove this criminal
00:23:17from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:20Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:25Let him go.
00:23:40Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:43as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:45at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:47I know you.
00:23:51You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart
00:23:53from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:55That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you
00:24:01since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:24:03like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon
00:24:08in the country, of course.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:15He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:19Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:23Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence,
00:24:27not petty politics.
00:24:30Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:24:33This is a conversation
00:24:34between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:24:38Dr. Hart, I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman represents
00:24:42a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised the patient's safety and...
00:24:47I don't believe I requested
00:24:48your medical opinion, Dr...
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment.
00:24:57After he decided to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:03His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:09Are you really willing to defend someone
00:25:13who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult with your father
00:25:17before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:24He's the one who specifically mentioned
00:25:25his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:30Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:34His exact words were,
00:25:35remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The President wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:44a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations
00:25:48were professional courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way things work at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing more to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider joining
00:26:00Heart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I've...
00:26:05Full department autonomy,
00:26:07protected research time,
00:26:09a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:26:11and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:44and cash dr marksman i want you to revolutionize our surgery program
00:26:50hopefully this shows you i mean what i say
00:26:55chief of surgery

00:27:09dr hart have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs
00:27:14this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at vail
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 maybe there's something beyond
00:27:38professional opportunity that might interest you she's offering herself up to him she can't do that
00:27:44are you a doctor or a call girl at heart medical center you will be given everything a surgeon of
00:27:50your caliber deserves including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value
00:27:57doctor heart for the sake of your own reputation you you need to know that this hack
00:28:07you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence my father confirmed it himself
00:28:14is that precisely what nelson vail told you his exact words
00:28:19negligence search what are those
00:28:23personal gifts from your father
00:28:27my fellowship offer
00:28:31my personal research lab my surgical team i'm leaving it all behind
00:28:37you can tell president vail that as of this moment dr marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:44from vail hospital and all of its affiliated institutions
00:28:48you know what spare us the theatrics adrian you never deserve those privileges in the first place
00:28:54the medical board is going to see that justice is done
00:28:57oh your stupidity it's just astonishing you treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels
00:29:07this man is a life-saving artist
00:29:10dr hart i understand there's some competition between your center and vail hospital
00:29:19yeah look i'll be real we're struggling to get out from under their shadow
00:29:24look i'd be happy to help you out with that
00:29:26take me on and i'll transform heart into the number one surgical institution in the country
00:29:31look at yourself adrian offering your skills to a struggling clinic
00:29:37how pathetically desperate
00:29:39oh a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber
00:29:46how dare you talk to me like that
00:29:48your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation
00:29:55as the responsible party i demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals
00:30:01and with an explanation to every affected vail hospital patient
00:30:06refuse 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
00:30:18you got no choice but to sign this confession
00:30:21oh stop threatening my chief surgeon
00:30:23if you insist on pursuing this vendetta
00:30:26have your attorney send a formal complaint to heart medical center
00:30:29we'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war
00:30:34if it's war you want i will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that i've got
00:30:41let's go

00:31:48if preston finds out i stole it and then couldn't even use it properly

00:32:01i'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency
00:32:04it's impressive dr marksman you've obviously got your own methodology

00:32:32let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now
00:32:36glad you're feeling better honey
00:32:41well sorry who's this
00:32:45nelson vail speaking
00:32:50president vail dr vivian hart here
00:32:53i am calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:32:56hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:33:00revolutionary surgical procedures are vail hospital's domain
00:33:05are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:08this is merely a professional courtesy call
00:33:11not an invitation for debate
00:33:13now just
00:33:14what is that conniving bitch plotting
00:33:22she knows adrian is our surgical secret weapon
00:33:26why would she deliberately provoke a medical war
00:33:29she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:33:31unless
00:33:34dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:43just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:45dad relax
00:33:47i fired the other one
00:33:49that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:52then explain to me
00:33:53why hart medical center
00:33:55believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:58because i masterfully led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:04it's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:34:08i convinced vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance
00:34:12but in reality she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:16so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:19she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:22behind vail hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:34:24that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:34:27impressive son
00:34:28you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:34:31i've been waiting to see out of you
00:34:33i think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division
00:34:38dad this
00:34:41this is everything i've worked for thank you
00:34:44we'll get to work immediately
00:34:45we're going to expose
00:34:47hart medical center
00:34:49for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:53their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:34:56i won't let you down
00:34:58darling
00:35:00surgical innovation is the future of veil
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
00:35:13if preston was our only asset
00:35:15remember
00:35:16we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:20you mean the surgeon that saved my life
00:35:23doctor adrian marksman
00:35:24exactly
00:35:25and all i need to do
00:35:28is stay hands off
00:35:30and let him
00:35:32exercise his extraordinary talents
00:35:35as long as adrian is with veil hospital
00:35:38hart medical center has no chance of competing
00:35:42not only that vivian
00:35:44fell for preston's manipulation
00:35:46and hired that medical disaster
00:35:49dr david marksman
00:35:51what we have to do now
00:35:53is sit back
00:35:55and watch her would-be empire
00:35:58crumble
00:35:59so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:08what do you think
00:36:11it's not bad
00:36:12it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:14what you've built here
00:36:16it's impressive viv
00:36:18it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:23you too
00:36:25we need to expand
00:36:27it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:30also
00:36:31i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:36we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:42and i always find the best one
00:36:45i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:54good
00:36:57the faster we rise
00:37:00the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:03this better be good
00:37:17mr vale
00:37:18you wanted to see me
00:37:21my father
00:37:26has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:30given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:32i'm appointing you head of innovation
00:37:35mr vale i uh
00:37:37is there an issue with that
00:37:39no absolutely not
00:37:41the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:37:43and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:37:47if i oversee these procedures
00:37:49i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:53mr vale
00:37:55you can trust me completely
00:37:56i am precisely the right man for the job
00:37:59preston we have a catastrophe on our hands
00:38:04two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously
00:38:07the department can't possibly maintain its caseload
00:38:09what
00:38:09they both resigned at once what was their explanation
00:38:12they refused to disclose their reasons
00:38:14but there's talk they were recruited by a former failed physician
00:38:16along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:19former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:24president what's our contingency plan the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:29if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer
00:38:31okay everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:34you still have me
00:38:37i can rebuild this department
00:38:39ah yes
00:38:40with your stellar reputation we should be able to get the best of the best
00:38:44exactly
00:38:45so we lost some second-rate talent
00:38:48let him go
00:38:49i'll make some calls to cedar sinai
00:38:53and ucla
00:38:54good work marksman
00:38:57this is working out perfectly
00:39:02now i can install my own allies in key positions
00:39:05soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:39:08it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:34this is dr parker here
00:39:39he's a triple board certified surgeon
00:39:41and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:44this is dr rose
00:39:45chen
00:39:46rose
00:39:47and thomas
00:39:48all consummate professionals
00:39:50my most trusted colleagues back at vale
00:39:53with this surgical team
00:39:57heart medical can revolutionize surgical care
00:40:00all across the country
00:40:02actually the whole world
00:40:04we're eager to begin dr hart
00:40:06well
00:40:07welcome to heart medical center
00:40:09i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:40:14but
00:40:14i do need to be transparent
00:40:17we have got considerable ground to cover
00:40:19before we can truly challenge vale hospital's dominance
00:40:22have no fear dr hart
00:40:24with hadrian leading our team
00:40:26we'll be three steps ahead of anything vale attempts
00:40:29yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:35yeah about that
00:40:36it's a preliminary version
00:40:38if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:41then what
00:40:42a lot of deaths
00:40:43a lot of lawsuits
00:40:45a lot of patients could be harmed
00:40:47or worse
00:40:48these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:40:52those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training
00:40:57without that foundation
00:40:59we're talking about serious complications
00:41:01preventable harm
00:41:03our first priority has to be patient safety
00:41:05we need to perfect these procedures
00:41:08and then we can find a way to prevent vale from continuing with the flawed protocols
00:41:13exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:15it's about saving lives
00:41:17we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at vale to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:30even if vale hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:36we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:41:39and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:43rest assured
00:41:44their outcomes will deteriorate
00:41:47i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:49remember this moment
00:41:51in this battle for medical supremacy
00:41:54heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:41:57it's 3 a.m
00:42:05lost track of time again
00:42:08viv you surprised me
00:42:17looks like you could use a nice rub

00:42:48i never imagined someone like you would like me
00:42:50there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:42:54only you
00:42:57but you were completely oblivious and then you just vanished from the program
00:43:03well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:43:07i know
00:43:11your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:14back then i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:19you know when i established heart medical center
00:43:22my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:25but that manipulative tyrant nelson vale had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives
00:43:33i understand now
00:43:35i understand now
00:43:36so
00:43:43should we
00:43:45pick up where we left off in residency

00:46:14you 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 complication

00:50:01Hart
00:50:28You always this disciplined?
00:50:34Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:37If I was trying to impress you, you'd 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.
00:50:58Then 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.
00:51:24Well, don't work too late.
00:51:26I don't.
00:51:28You're no good to me, Burnt Out.
00:51:39The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:44Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:46Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:51I give you one simple task and you screw it up.
00:51:55How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:59Vail General Hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:05If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:10Is that clear?
00:52:11Yes, sir.
00:52:12This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:18Go.
00:52:19Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:26What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:28Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:30We're on schedule or not?
00:52:32Of course.
00:52:34We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:38Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:41There's a problem.
00:52:42I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:43No cover-ups.
00:52:44Of course, sir.
00:52:48Mr. Vail.
00:52:49Not now.
00:52:50Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:55It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:02Don't worry.
00:53:03When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:14Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:35The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:40Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:42Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:44I hope you're right.
00:53:47For your sake.
00:53:51Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:57It's not a success.
00:53:59Yet.
00:54:02Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:04Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:06it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:09Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:25Vail 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...
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?
00:54:50Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:55Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:57He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:59And?
00:54:59Their model's flawed.
00:55:01If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:05we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:09And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:10Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:20It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:23They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:28They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:31That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:34Which 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 on mind?
00:55:42Drinks?
00:55:43Not quite.
00:55:44You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:49Why?
00:55:50Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:54Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:57And meet me in the lobby at 8pm sharp.
00:56:04Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:17I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:21Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:28It's like the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:56:33It should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:43You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:46Stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:49Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:52Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:55Forget about her.
00:56:56She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:59We'll show you a better time.
00:57:00Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:10Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:12Let me go.
00:57:30The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please try again later.
00:57:38Please.
00:57:38Please.
00:57:40It's twenty in one day.
00:58:03All clean.
00:58:05All stable.
00:58:06The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No.
00:58:12We didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change there.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:22Where's Vivian?
00:58:23Taking 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.
00:58:36What the fuck?
00:58:53You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:55I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:58God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:00So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:06Did 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.
00:59:33What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You 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.
00:59:46Look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:49The found surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:57I thought 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.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:05Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:15I 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.
01:00:59This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:02The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:04Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:09Good.
01:01:09I'm glad.
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:13Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:15That's enough.
01:01:16Guards!
01:01:18This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:21Kick him out!
01:01:23Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:26I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:31Grab him!
01:01:32Christy!
01:01:47What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:54This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:57I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards!
01:01:58Remove 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...
01:02:05This is...
01:02:06This 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...
01:02:14What are you doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out...
01:02:21He is...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:24Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:26My hospital meant something, and...
01:02:30You turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:43President 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!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56Do something!
01:02:57It's cold!
01:02:58It's cold!
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blanking?
01:03:06Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:07Shut up!
01:03:08Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:11This is ridiculous.
01:03:12I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:15Why are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:19What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:25Right now.
01:03:27I can't blow my cover butt.
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.
01:03:40This is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go.
01:03:44I...
01:03:45I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I...
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.
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:13Okay, okay.
01:04:14I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:22I gotta, I gotta...
01:04:24Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head.
01:04:29But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Right here.
01:04:49Hold on.
01:04:50Hold on.
01:04:54Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let out.
01:04:58All right, thank God.
01:05:02Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:04Surgical genius.
01:05:06Oh.
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,
01:05:15say 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.
01:05:29Where 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, hey, why don't you come back
01:05:40when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42Ha ha ha.
01:05:46That 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.
01:05:55Somebody 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.
01:06:05I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:09I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories
01:06:11as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails,
01:06:15and it will,
01:06:18you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:23Not yet.
01:06:23But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science
01:06:29always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our 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.
01:06:42These 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.
01:06:59I'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.
01:07:11Use the compression step.
01:07:16That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:19We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, 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.
01:07:39Now 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.
01:07:52Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know?
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering,
01:08:02I invented.
01:08:03And 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.
01:08:09Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:17Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:21Okay.
01:08:21Listen very carefully.
01:08:23Your 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 with selective hepatic arterial ligation,
01:08:38followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:45Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:51How 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.
01:09:07Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:09Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15He was humiliated.
01:09:16You're right.
01:09:17I 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.
01:09:26He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:28Is that what you told yourself when 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 and you fired him.
01:10:11The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:14Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:27Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:30Because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:37And now you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all.
01:10:42No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now.
01:10:44You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:50And probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision.
01:11:05Precision.
01:11:06Development.
01:11:06Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage.
01:11:18Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal.
01:11:30I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:34You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:40He put lives at risk.
01:11:42To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:46We'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.
01:11:55Just 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.
01:12:08You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:11You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:21Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:12:31I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:48And without him, it won't.
01:12:50This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:59You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough, you 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.
01:13:16And 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.
01:13:26You can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:31That's enough.
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale.
01:13:36Dr. David Marksman.
01:13:38Come with us.
01:13:40Dad.
01:13:41You're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No.
01:13:44Don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey!
01:13:47Dad!
01:13:48Son of a...
01:13:49You're just kidding.
01:13:49Son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:51Do something.
01:13:52Get off me.
01:13:52I'm just sitting on a child.
01:13:53I'm not a child.
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
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.
01:14:16Just give me a second chance.
01:14:18Please.
01:14:20I still love you.
01:14:23Love?
01:14:24You 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.
01:14:56And he 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.
01:15:18The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board and David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:27We're rebuilding.
01:15:28And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:34I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Well, all 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 turned 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, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:17Get me out of here.
01:16:19Now!
01:16:37Corma has good timing.
01:16:38Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey!
01:16:48Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:08This is what a 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.
01:17:32Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides being you, of course.
01:17:45I'm very proud of you.
