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.
00:03:56They're all stable.
00:04:05You'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.
00:04:35Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:57Hey, 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 I 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.
00:05:19Blueberry, your favorite.
00:05:27You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:34I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:41It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure.
00:05:59I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:21Who 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,
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 that.
00:06:47Save it.
00:06:48Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:56Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention.
00:07:06I need everybody's attention now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,
00:07:12every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications.
00:07:17No deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who does he think he is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:40That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients
00:07:47and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:50you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop
00:07:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:59Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:03Oh, that 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?
00:08:46He's...
00:08:47a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year
00:09:00who 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,
00:09:11but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons,
00:09:18or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together,
00:09:24but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials...
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:37Dr. Marksman.
00:09:42You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:46Fire.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51You'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?
00:10:15Beat it.
00:10:16Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:19Okay.
00:10:27I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42I know it's only been a month,
00:10:43but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:57You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned
00:11:17with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:19Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:25I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody
00:11:32collecting unemployment checks
00:11:35or the man
00:11:36who signs everyone's paychecks,
00:11:39including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators
00:11:47need to be reminded
00:11:48who'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,
00:12:03but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And, Preston,
00:12:07there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:11That new surgeon,
00:12:13Dr. Marksman,
00:12:14whatever happens,
00:12:15make sure you take care of him.
00:12:17Dr. Marksman?
00:12:18Dr. Marksman,
00:12:19you're fucking fired.
00:12:21Get out of my hospital.
00:12:23Christ.
00:12:24The resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston?
00:12:28Are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:32See if we have another marksman
00:12:33working for us here.
00:12:36I had to back up the brakes truck
00:12:38to get him here.
00:12:40He's a surgeon
00:12:40who saved your mother's life.
00:12:42And he's pioneering
00:12:43our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation
00:12:48rests on his work.
00:12:55Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's
00:12:57another surgeon attending
00:12:58with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman,
00:13:01pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:04Two-time Florence Nightingale,
00:13:05medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:08Three-times Apex award winner
00:13:09for clinical research.
00:13:10Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:11That's our man.
00:13:12There's another surgeon
00:13:13with the same last name
00:13:14who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:17Negligent, lazy,
00:13:18you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor.
00:13:20Fire him.
00:13:22Already done, Dad.
00:13:23I fired his slacker ass
00:13:25this morning.
00:13:26Thank God.
00:13:27Almost thought I fired
00:13:28our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:32I'll visit
00:13:32when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh...
00:13:36Just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else
00:13:38under control.
00:13:41See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident
00:13:48I fired was worthless.
00:13:50Now,
00:13:51about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:55Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:57Multiple traumas incoming,
00:13:59the six-car pileup.
00:14:00You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:01What's your point?
00:14:02ER is crashing.
00:14:04We've no one left
00:14:04who can handle it.
00:14:12Give 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.
00:14:27He had four critical traumas
00:14:30alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here...
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the 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?
00:14:48Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:07Mmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:13These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:14Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:22Hello?
00:15:24Dr. Marksman?
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas
00:15:26in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says
00:15:28if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:29there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:32I'm on my way.
00:15:36With Adrian's techniques,
00:15:38I'll look like a genius.
00:15:40They'll make me department head.
00:15:42And I can finally make
00:15:43seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:52Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:16:04Now,
00:16:05about your loyalty.
00:16:07Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:09I was using him
00:16:10to advance my career
00:16:11and my future.
00:16:13That's my girl.
00:16:22Beyond a shift
00:16:23and it an hour ago,
00:16:25the boss's son
00:16:26is 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,
00:16:54knock it off,
00:16:55Adrian.
00:16:55You mean to tell me
00:16:56that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:58can't see what's been happening
00:16:59under his own nose.
00:17:01You mean to tell me
00:17:02that you've been messing around
00:17:03with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:05I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want to disgrace surgeon
00:17:07with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:10We're done, Adrian.
00:17:27Ancient history.
00:17:29Are you serious?
00:17:32Just like that.
00:17:33Sorry that this bum
00:17:35wrinkled your jacket,
00:17:36sir.
00:17:39Why are you doing this,
00:17:40Fiona?
00:17:41Am I just a stepping stone
00:17:42to you?
00:17:43I need someone
00:17:43with a future,
00:17:44not someone who sleeps
00:17:46while patients
00:17:47are dying.
00:17:51Keep it for when
00:17:52you get lonely
00:17:53and horny.
00:17:54It's the closest
00:17:55you'll ever come
00:17:55to the real thing again.
00:17:57Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future
00:18:04of Vail Hospital
00:18:05and you
00:18:06are just 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
00:18:19and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could
00:18:22build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay
00:18:28with someone who lied
00:18:29about their credentials?
00:18:31President Vail
00:18:32would never have hired
00:18:33someone who sleeps
00:18:34during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am,
00:18:42there won't be
00:18:43a Vail Hospital
00:18:44left standing.
00:18:46You can count on that.
00:18:50No, no, no.
00:18:51Don't you move
00:18:51an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:53Your troubles
00:18:53are just getting started.
00:18:57He'll authorize you
00:19:00to be here.
00:19:01Mr. Vail,
00:19:02I'm pleased to announce
00:19:03that under my supervision,
00:19:04we've stabilized
00:19:05all the patients
00:19:06from the multi-car accident
00:19:07and the situation
00:19:09is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:13Ah, yes.
00:19:13The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned
00:19:15your exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:19These morons
00:19:22have no idea
00:19:23I'm taking credit
00:19:23for Adrian's
00:19:24revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son
00:19:27is impressed,
00:19:28I'll be chief of surgery
00:19:29by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail,
00:19:31I've identified
00:19:32who's responsible
00:19:33for all the issues
00:19:34in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping
00:19:37while the patient
00:19:38almost died on the table.
00:19:40Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:42Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:19:55that surgical pioneer
00:19:56that you've been tracking,
00:19:58he's just been terminated
00:19:59from Vail Hospital.
00:20:01When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:04Dismissed by
00:20:04President Vail's son.
00:20:07Huh.
00:20:09Amazing.
00:20:10I'd pay to see
00:20:11Nelson Vail's face
00:20:12when he discovers
00:20:13that his Price Surgeon
00:20:15was fired
00:20:16by his submental son.
00:20:18With our respect,
00:20:20we're still establishing
00:20:21our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone
00:20:23of Marksman's caliber
00:20:24even consider joining us?
00:20:26I'll offer him
00:20:27whatever it takes.
00:20:29Full department autonomy,
00:20:32research funding,
00:20:33state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:36and if necessary,
00:20:38my personal involvement.
00:20:39his techniques
00:20:42could revolutionize
00:20:43surgical care.
00:20:45Have my car brought round.
00:20:47I'm going to
00:20:47Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:50And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:51he's leaving with me.
00:20:59Alphysus?
00:21:00What kind of delusional
00:21:01accusation is that?
00:21:02Don't insult
00:21:03our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded
00:21:05while you were off
00:21:06taking a nap.
00:21:07The timing couldn't
00:21:07possibly be coincidental.
00:21:09Yet you stand there
00:21:10denying it.
00:21:11This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off
00:21:13as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:15And when a complication occurs,
00:21:16which happened
00:21:17in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:20you blame me.
00:21:24The collective medical knowledge
00:21:26in this room
00:21:26isn't enough
00:21:27to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:28If you were even
00:21:30half the surgeon
00:21:31that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still
00:21:33have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to
00:21:36stand here
00:21:36and debate medicine
00:21:37with you in front
00:21:38of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security,
00:21:39please detain him.
00:21:46What exactly
00:21:47are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess
00:21:49to medical malfeasance
00:21:51or they'll escort you
00:21:53to the police
00:21:53for criminal negligence.
00:21:55Adrian,
00:21:56I never realized
00:21:57you were capable
00:21:58of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities
00:22:01have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now
00:22:04or we'll do that
00:22:04but give you the power
00:22:05to make sure
00:22:05you lose your medical license.
00:22:09Fine.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single
00:22:14piece of evidence
00:22:14holds up in front
00:22:15of the medical board.
00:22:16You really
00:22:19underestimate
00:22:20my family's influence,
00:22:21don't you?
00:22:23Don't you realize
00:22:24that Mr. Vail here
00:22:24can end your entire career
00:22:26with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir,
00:22:28I strongly recommend
00:22:29that we make
00:22:30an example out of him.
00:22:31After all,
00:22:31he'll be a danger
00:22:32to his patients
00:22:33wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston,
00:22:35you can't let him
00:22:36walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did
00:22:38to our patients.
00:22:41I'm contacting
00:22:41the medical board
00:22:42right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman
00:22:46is blacklisted
00:22:47from Vail Hospital
00:22:48and every medical institute
00:22:49in the country.
00:22:50Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:52Do you know
00:22:53what that means?
00:22:54It means that you
00:22:55will never practice medicine
00:22:57in this country again.
00:23:00I have one question
00:23:01before I go.
00:23:03Does your father
00:23:03know you fired me?
00:23:05My father's the one
00:23:07who asked me to fire you,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were
00:23:12some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:14didn't you?
00:23:15Security,
00:23:16remove this criminal
00:23:17from hospital property
00:23:18immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:20Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:37Let him go.
00:23:38Dr. Marksman is about
00:23:42to accept the position
00:23:43as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:45at Hart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:51You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart
00:23:53from that medical clinic
00:23:54across town.
00:23:55That's Dr. Vivian Hart
00:23:57to you,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian,
00:24:01I haven't seen you
00:24:01since the John Hopkins
00:24:02symposium,
00:24:03like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here
00:24:07for the most innovative
00:24:08surgeon in the country,
00:24:09of course.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor
00:24:15has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping
00:24:17during rounds.
00:24:18Is this how
00:24:19Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its
00:24:20exceptional talent?
00:24:22Your father built
00:24:24this institution's
00:24:25reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence,
00:24:27not petty politics.
00:24:30Dr. Hart,
00:24:31with all due respect...
00:24:33This is a conversation
00:24:34between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence.
00:24:39Dr. Hart,
00:24:40I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman
00:24:42represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised
00:24:45patient safety and...
00:24:47I don't believe
00:24:47I requested
00:24:48your medical opinion,
00:24:49Dr....
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time
00:24:53nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment.
00:24:57After he
00:24:58decided to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical
00:25:01surgical complication.
00:25:02his negligence
00:25:03led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions
00:25:06not only
00:25:06endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised
00:25:08my hospital's reputation.
00:25:10Are you really
00:25:12willing to defend
00:25:12someone
00:25:13who violates
00:25:14the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually
00:25:16consult with your father
00:25:17before dismissing
00:25:18Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20Of course I consulted
00:25:21my father.
00:25:24He's the one
00:25:24who specifically
00:25:25mentioned his
00:25:26dangerous surgical
00:25:27shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated
00:25:28reputation.
00:25:29Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:30Is that what
00:25:32President Vail
00:25:33really said?
00:25:34His exact words
00:25:35were,
00:25:35remove him
00:25:36at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail
00:25:38was the one
00:25:39that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes
00:25:40absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The president
00:25:43wouldn't personally
00:25:44recruit a mid-level
00:25:45surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala
00:25:47invitations
00:25:48were professional
00:25:49courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine
00:25:52respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's
00:25:53the way things
00:25:53work at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing
00:25:55more to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider
00:25:59joining Heart

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

00:30:21oh stop threatening my chief surgeon
00:30:23if you insist on pursuing this vendetta

00:32:23behold
00:32:30vail hospital's new chief of surgery
00:32:32let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now
00:32:36glad you're feeling better honey
00:32:41thank you
00:32:42well sorry who's this
00:32:45nelson vail speaking
00:32:50president vail
00:32:51dr vivian hart here
00:32:53i am calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:32:56hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:33:00revolutionary surgical procedures are 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 not 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 she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:33:31she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:33:33unless
00:33:34dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:38just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:39dad relax
00:33:47fire the other one
00:33:49that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:52explain to me why heart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:58because i masterfully led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:04it'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 behind 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 this is everything i've worked for thank you
00:34:44we'll get to work immediately
00:34:45we're going to expose heart medical center
00:34:49for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:53their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:34:56i won't let you down
00:34:58darling
00:35:00surgical innovation is the future of vail
00:35:04preston only got his mba last year
00:35:06do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:35:10i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:35:15remember
00:35:16we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:20you mean the surgeon that saved my life
00:35:23doctor adrian marksman exactly and all i need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents as long as adrian is with vail hospital heart medical center has no chance of competing not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster dr david marksman
00:35:30what we have to do now is sit back and watch her would be empire
00:35:37crumble
00:35:39so now that you've seen the same
00:36:07in the surgical department
00:36:08what do you think it's not bad
00:36:14it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:16what you've built here
00:36:18it's impressive viv
00:36:19it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:24you too
00:36:26we need to expand
00:36:28it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:30so
00:36:31i heard
00:36:33i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:37we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:43and i always find the best one
00:36:45i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:55good
00:36:57the faster we rise
00:37:00the more rewarding
00:37:02this partnership becomes
00:37:04this better be good
00:37:17mr vale
00:37:19you wanted to see me
00:37:21my father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:30given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:34appointing you head of innovation
00:37:36mr vale i uh
00:37:38is there an issue with that
00:37:39no absolutely not
00:37:41the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:37:44and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:37:48if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:54mr vale
00:37:55you can trust me completely
00:37:57i am precisely the right man for the job
00:38:02preston we have a catastrophe on our hands
00:38:04two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously
00:38:07the department can't possibly maintain its caseload
00:38:09what
00:38:10they both resigned at once what was their explanation
00:38:12they refused to disclose their reasons
00:38:14but there's talk they were recruited by a former failed physician
00:38:17along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:19former physician adrian marksman
00:38:21this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:24president
00:38:25what's our contingency plan
00:38:26the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:28if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer
00:38:31okay everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:35you still have me
00:38:37i can rebuild this department

00:40:08welcome to heart medical center
00:40:11i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:40:14but i do need to be transparent
00:40:18we have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge vale hospitals dominance
00:40:23have no fear dr hart
00:40:25with adrian leading our team we'll be three steps ahead of anything vale attempts
00:40:30yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:36yeah about that
00:40:38it's a preliminary version
00:40:39if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:42then what
00:40:43a lot of deaths
00:40:45a lot of lawsuits
00:40:46a lot of patients could be harmed
00:40:48or worse
00:40:49these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:40:53those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training
00:40:58without 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 vale from continuing with the flawed protocols
00:41:13exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:16it'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
00:41:28eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:32even if vale hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:37we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:41:39and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:43rest assured
00:41:45their 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
00:41:54heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:41:56emerge victorious
00:42:04it's 3 a.m.
00:42:06lost track of time again
00:42:09they have you surprise me
00:42:15looks like you would use a nice rub
00:42:19do you mind
00:42:21no
00:42:23i mean
00:42:25yeah
00:42:26will you give all your surgeons
00:42:28massages
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.
00:42:55But you were completely oblivious.
00:43:00And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:08I 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,
00:43:22my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:24But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale,
00:43:29had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:34I understand now.
00:43:35So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:48You're the boss.
00:43:50That's right.
00:43:51And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:56You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:00Hospital privileges,
00:44:02research funding,
00:44:04even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:19All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends on the company.
00:44:39Well, starting tonight,
00:44:41this is your new home.
00:44:43Until the program's fully established,
00:44:46it just makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure about that?
00:44:49We already work late hours.
00:44:52Living together
00:44:53could get complicated.
00:44:56Well, I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things interesting.
00:45:00And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well,
00:45:05my master suite
00:45:09has a California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room.
00:45:18If things ever need to get more
00:45:20collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight.
00:45:29At least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you your room.
00:45:38Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:47Things can get dangerous.
00:45:54Is this pathetic attempt
00:45:55really the best that you can do?
00:45:59You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:04Dr. Marksman,
00:46:04the experimental procedures
00:46:06we're trying to replicate here
00:46:07are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:09We need at least six months
00:46:11to properly master...
00:46:12Six months?
00:46:14You have 72 hours.
00:46:16And I expect hourly updates
00:46:18on my desk.
00:46:19Sir,
00:46:19brushing these delicate procedures
00:46:21dramatically increases the possibility
00:46:24of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26Then you don't get one hour more.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:30Go.
00:46:34Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:39We will be advancing
00:46:40to phase two implementation
00:46:41within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment
00:46:46in appointing you
00:46:47was flawless.
00:46:53Preston,
00:46:53I need an update
00:46:54on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done,
00:47:01I'll throw you a huge party
00:47:03to celebrate the launch.
00:47:05Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father
00:47:10understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:15Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering,
00:47:17I could become the next
00:47:18chief medical officer
00:47:19of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale,
00:47:22my purpose is to execute
00:47:24the visionary medical strategies
00:47:26of brilliant administrators
00:47:28such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that in the position
00:47:31of chief medical officer,
00:47:33I could implement your ideas
00:47:35more effectively
00:47:36throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures
00:47:38prove successful,
00:47:40I will personally discuss
00:47:41your advancement with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:43I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:48:00You're finally awake.
00:48:12You can keep appreciating
00:48:14the view while you eat.
00:48:16All right.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:20When you're finished eating,
00:48:24we'll head directly
00:48:24to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:31Get it up and running,
00:48:32and there may be a...
00:48:34special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:40Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching a critical phase
00:48:51of our program development.
00:48:53We have groundbreaking procedures
00:48:55that we need to perfect
00:48:56in very little time,
00:48:57so let's get to it.
00:48:59Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news
00:49:02for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized arrangements
00:49:05with the board,
00:49:06and upon successful implementation
00:49:08of our surgical innovations,
00:49:11each of you will receive
00:49:12a fully funded medical mission trip
00:49:14anywhere in the world
00:49:15that you choose
00:49:16to share your expertise.
00:49:18And when the time comes
00:49:20that our procedures
00:49:20receive national certification,
00:49:23every surgeon on this team
00:49:25will be gifted a percentage
00:49:26of the royalties
00:49:27from any techniques we patent.
00:49:31At Heart Medical Center,
00:49:33our surgeons
00:49:34are the lifeblood
00:49:35of our institution,
00:49:37and you will be
00:49:38compensated accordingly.
00:49:42Dr. Heart,
00:49:43we are fully committed
00:49:45to making this surgical program
00:49:46a success.
00:49:47Absolutely.
00:49:48You'll be seeing progress
00:49:49ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital

00:52:04like clueless little interns
00:52:05if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow
00:52:08you're both gone
00:52:09is that clear
00:52:10yes sir
00:52:12this is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team
00:52:16go
00:52:19oh

00:52:42I expect to hear it from you

00:52:59on our lovely administrator here
00:53:01don't worry
00:53:02when Preston makes me chief medical officer
00:53:05I'm gonna need someone
00:53:07flexible in my corner
00:53:09I respect the winning team Dr. Marksman
00:53:12today Vail Hospital officially launched
00:53:21its highly anticipated
00:53:22next generation surgical program
00:53:25this cutting edge approach to surgical care
00:53:27is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:53:30especially 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
00:53:39relax Mr. Vail
00:53:41Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:44I hope you're right
00:53:46for your sake
00:53:49didn't you say that uh
00:53:53if the rollout went well
00:53:54that you'd make me
00:53:55chief medical officer
00:53:57it's not a success
00:53:59yet
00:54:00enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:03because if our results 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. Hart we uh have a problem
00:54:23Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today
00:54:27that 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
00:54:39why would I lie
00:54:40we've been tracking Vail's every move
00:54:43let him celebrate
00:54:45it's just gonna backfire
00:54:46how exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:50Bibb 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
00:54:58and?
00:54:59their model's flawed
00:55:00if they keep moving forward
00:55:03without realizing their structural failure
00:55:04and their approach
00:55:05we won't have to lift a damn finger
00:55:08and what about when it falls apart?
00:55:11then Heart Medical takes over
00:55:12as the future of modern surgery
00:55:13so 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
00:55:22this fast
00:55:23they're using an early draft
00:55:25full of mistakes
00:55:26that I won't make again
00:55:27they don't even realize
00:55:29the cracks in their foundation
00:55:30that actually
00:55:32makes perfect sense
00:55:34which means
00:55:36we've already won
00:55:37well this is a big day for us
00:55:39we should celebrate
00:55:41what do you have in mind?

01:05:24it's mine
01:05:25then tell them
01:05:26where is he going
01:05:31maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program
01:05:34at another fake hospital
01:05:36leaving so soon
01:05:37Dr. PJs
01:05:39say why don't you come back
01:05:40when you've actually saved a life
01:05:42that procedure David used
01:05:48I invented it
01:05:50what kind of crack are you smoking
01:05:52he's delusional
01:05:53somebody seriously check this guy's medical license
01:05:57the notebook he used to save your father
01:05:59that's mine
01:06:01my handwriting
01:06:03my theories
01:06:04you're just pissed because he did what you couldn't
01:06:08I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories
01:06:11as 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
01:06:46I 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 control 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
01:08:07oh shit
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
01:08:30was improperly executed
01:08:31no you need to perform a Marksman modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:35with selective hepatic arterial ligation
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
01:08:53his whole thing is performance
01:08:55charade
01:08:56you stole his methods
01:08:58this entire launch party
01:09:00is 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
01:09:20were renamed and sold back to the board
01:09:22as revolutionary
01:09:23you know what
01:09:24this is pathetic
01:09:25he's just jealous
01:09:27he missed his shot
01:09:28is that what you told yourself
01:09:30when you snuck back into my office
01:09:32and stole my surgical journal
01:09:33even if that were true
01:09:35this 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
01:09:57our 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
01:10:07that weren't ready
01:10:08and you fired him
01:10:10the one person who could make them safe
01:10:13dad
01:10:15you don't see the full picture here
01:10:18oh I'm seeing it perfectly well
01:10:20this hospital was built on trust
01:10:22and integrity
01:10:23and you've disgraced them both
01:10:26your father nearly died
01:10:28because of your ego
01:10:29because of his lies
01:10:32you saved me
01:10:34you saved Nelson
01:10:36and now
01:10:38you can save Vale
01:10:39I tried to warn you all
01:10:41no one listened
01:10:43they're listening now
01:10:44you deserve to be 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
01:10:54months 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
01:11:08and tried to fast track them for glory
01:11:11oh
01:11:11you 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
01:11:26on what he started
01:11:27okay
01:11:28I didn't steal
01:11:30I enhanced it
01:11:32then why were patients about to die
01:11:34you falsified rollout readiness
01:11:37he did more than that
01:11:39he put lives at risk
01:11:41to prove that he was smarter
01:11:43than 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
01:11:53just 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
01:12:05to 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
01:12:19they'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
01:12:35it 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
01:13:04you propped up this fraud
01:13:08taking his side dad?
01:13:11I'm your son
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth
01:13:15and so will the board
01:13:16we 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 you don't understand the politics of running a hospital
01:13:30we understand the liability that's enough
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us
01:13:38dad, you're not going to often drag me out like this, I'm your son
01:13:43no don't you touch me
01:13:45you're not a child
01:13:46hey
01:13:47dad
01:13:47you're not a child
01:13:48you'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
01:14:12just 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
01:14:41I 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
01:14:54anything
01:14:55you had your chance Fiona
01:14:56and you 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

01:16:46hey
01:16:47Not 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 victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:13I need a second opinion.
01:17:14Well, 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.
