00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands 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!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:51Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:56Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:01:00The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:02Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:14Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18That's some bomb scissors.
00:01:20Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:24That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey Cottery.
00:01:30Watch.
00:01:32He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:45But how did he...
00:01:47Silk suture?
00:01:49Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:02I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:06This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:21Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:32That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:35Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:37What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:40Wait. I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:44who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:49The final suture.
00:02:57Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:04Doctor!
00:03:07The nurses...
00:03:08They said you did it.
00:03:10And you...
00:03:11You actually did.
00:03:15Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:18Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:23You...
00:03:25You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Bale.
00:03:32My hospital.
00:03:36Look, I'll explain later. Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's gonna take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home. Get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here.
00:03:47Okay.

00:19:28as long as the boss's son is impressed i'll be chief of surgery by next month
00:19:32mr vale i've identified who's responsible for all the issues in or three today
00:19:37he was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table clear-cut medical malfeasance
00:19:47dr hart incredible news dr adrian marksman that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking
00:20:00he's just been terminated from vale hospital
00:20:03when less than an hour ago dismissed by president vale's son
00:20:09huh amazing
00:20:11i'd pay to see nelson bale's face when he discovers that his prize surgeon was fired by his
00:20:18submental son with uh respect we're still establishing our reputation would someone of
00:20:25marksman's caliber even consider joining us we'll offer him whatever it takes full department autonomy
00:20:33research funding state-of-the-art facilities
00:20:37and if necessary my personal involvement his techniques could revolutionize surgical care
00:20:46have my car brought round i'm going to vale hospital personally
00:20:51and adrian marksman he's leaving with me
00:20:54alphysus what kind of delusional accusation is that now don't insult our intelligence a patient
00:21:07coded while you were off taking a nap the timing couldn't possibly be coincidental yet you stand there
00:21:12denying it this is crazy you've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon and when a complication occurs
00:21:18which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership you blame me the collective medical
00:21:27knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad
00:21:32if you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be you would still have a job
00:21:37i'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of mr vale security please detain him
00:21:48what exactly are you accusing me of either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to the
00:21:55police for criminal negligence adrian i never realized you were capable of endangering patients
00:22:02what other medical atrocities have you committed you better confess now or we'll do everything in
00:22:07your power to make sure you lose your medical license come on go ahead do your worst
00:22:14let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board
00:22:20you really underestimate my family's influence don't you don't you realize that mr vale here can
00:22:27end your entire career with one phone call sir i strongly recommend that we make an example out of
00:22:32him after all he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes priston you can't let him walk away
00:22:38after this not after what he did to our patients i'm contacting the medical board right now as of
00:22:46this moment dr adrian marksman is blacklisted from vale hospital and every medical institute in the
00:22:51country plans in motion adrian do you know what that means it means that you will never practice
00:22:58medicine in this country again i have one question before i go does your father know you fired me
00:23:07my father's the one who asked me to fire you you dipshit
00:23:13you thought you were some brilliant surgical god didn't you security remove this criminal from
00:23:19hospital property immediately immediately yes doctor right away sir
00:23:27that's quite enough
00:23:37let him go
00:23:42dr marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at heart medical center
00:23:52i know you you're vivian heart the surgical upstar from that medical clinic across town that's
00:23:58dr vivian heart to you mr vale vivian i haven't seen you since the john hopkins symposium like
00:24:06four or five years ago what are you doing here well i'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the
00:24:11country of course wait are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value
00:24:19he was sleeping during rounds is this how vail hospital discards its exceptional talent
00:24:25your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence not petty politics
00:24:33dr hart with all due respect this is a conversation between medical directors
00:24:38someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence
00:24:41dr hart i must inform you that dr marksman represents a serious liability he compromised patient's
00:24:48safety and i don't believe i requested your medical opinion dr marksman david marksman i have neither
00:24:55time nor interest in your assessment after he decided to go to sleep we had a critical surgical complication
00:25:05his negligence led to the problem his actions not only endangered patients it compromised my hospital's reputation
00:25:13are you really willing to defend someone who violates the hippocratic oath
00:25:17did you actually consult with your father before dismissing dr marksman of course i consulted my father
00:25:26he's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation dangerous shortcuts
00:25:34is that what president vale really said his exact words were remove him at first opportunity
00:25:40president vale was the one that recruited me this makes absolutely no sense please adrian the president
00:25:46wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you those gala invitations were professional courtesy
00:25:53not genuine respect well if that's the way things work at vale i have nothing more to contribute
00:25:58to any of you dr marksman would you consider joining heart medical center as our chief of surgery
00:26:05well i have full department autonomy protected research time a surgical fellowship in your name and a seven
00:26:15figure salary package
00:26:28so
00:26:45and cash dr marksman i want you to revolutionize our surgery program
00:26:53hopefully this shows you i mean what i say
00:26:57chief of surgery
00:27:05you're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job
00:27:12dr hart have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs
00:27:17this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at vale
00:27:21and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:27:25the medical board should review your hiring practices
00:27:30vivian i appreciate your confidence this isn't about money
00:27:37maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you
00:27:43she's offering herself up to him she can't do that
00:27:47are you a doctor or a call girl at heart medical center
00:27:51you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves
00:27:54including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value
00:28:00and i don't mean anything dr marksman
00:28:03dr hart for the sake of your own reputation
00:28:09you you need to know that this hack
00:28:10you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence

00:31:47adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office
00:31:51if preston finds out i stole it and then couldn't even use it properly
00:31:55i implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that i invented myself
00:32:02these techniques are revolutionary
00:32:04i'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency
00:32:07it's impressive dr marksman
00:32:09you've obviously got your own methodology
00:32:11no need to bore me with the specifics i trust your brilliance
00:32:15keep up the good work dr marksman
00:32:17with you leading my surgical team
00:32:19i can focus on what really matters
00:32:21hospital expansion
00:32:22again sir
00:32:25i'm deeply honored
00:32:26behold
00:32:33vale hospital's new chief of surgery
00:32:35let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now
00:32:39glad you're feeling better honey
00:32:44thank you
00:32:45oh sorry who's this
00:32:48nelson vale speaking
00:32:53president vale
00:32:54dr vivian hart here
00:32:56i am calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:33:00hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:33:04revolutionary surgical procedures are vale hospital's domain
00:33:08are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:12this is merely a professional courtesy call
00:33:14not an invitation for debate
00:33:16now just
00:33:17just that conniving bitch plotting
00:33:25she knows adrian
00:33:27is our surgical secret weapon
00:33:29why would she deliberately provoke a medical war
00:33:32she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:33:34unless
00:33:37dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:46just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:48dad relax
00:33:51i fired the other one
00:33:53that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:56then explain to me
00:33:57why hart medical center
00:33:59believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:34:03because i
00:34:05masterfully led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:09there's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:34:12i convinced vivian
00:34:14that she's acquired surgical brilliance
00:34:16but in reality
00:34:18she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:20so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:23she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:26behind vale hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:34:29that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:34:31impressive son
00:34:33you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:34:36i've been waiting to see out of you
00:34:37i think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division
00:34:42dad this
00:34:45this is everything i've worked for
00:34:47thank you
00:34:48we'll get to work immediately
00:34:49we're going to expose
00:34:51hart medical center
00:34:53for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:57their humiliation will be quick
00:34:59an absolute
00:35:01i won't let you down
00:35:04darling
00:35:05surgical innovation is the future of vale
00:35:08preston only got his mba last year
00:35:10do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:35:15i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:35:20remember
00:35:21we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:25you mean the surgeon that saved my life
00:35:27dr adrian marksman
00:35:29exactly
00:35:30and all i need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents
00:35:39as long as adrian is with vale hospital
00:35:42hart medical center has no chance of competing
00:35:46not only that
00:35:48vivian fell for preston's manipulation
00:35:50and hired that medical disaster
00:35:53dr david marksman
00:35:55what we have to do now
00:35:58is sit back
00:35:59and watch her would-be empire
00:36:02crumble
00:36:03so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:12what do you think
00:36:15it's not bad
00:36:16it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:19what you've built here
00:36:21it's impressive viv
00:36:22it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:27you too
00:36:29you need to expand
00:36:31it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:34so
00:36:35i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:40we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:47and i always find the best one
00:36:57i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:59good
00:37:01the faster we rise
00:37:04the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:08this better be good
00:37:21mr vale
00:37:23you wanted to see me
00:37:25my father
00:37:30has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:34given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:37appointing you head of innovation
00:37:39mr vale i uh
00:37:41is there an issue with that
00:37:43no absolutely not
00:37:45the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:37:48and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:37:51if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:57mr vale you can trust me completely i am precisely the right man for the job
00:38:03preston we have a catastrophe on our hands two attending surgeons just submitted their resignations simultaneously the department can't possibly maintain its caseload what they both resigned at once what was their explanation they refuse to disclose their reasons but there's talk they were recruited by former vale physician
00:38:20along with the three other surgeons you fired before former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:28what's our contingency plan the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:33if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer
00:38:36okay everybody
00:38:37needs to remain calm
00:38:38you still have me
00:38:41i can rebuild this department
00:38:43ah yes
00:38:45with your stellar reputation we should be able to get the best of the best
00:38:48exactly
00:38:49so we lost some second rate talent
00:38:52let him go
00:38:53i'll make some calls to cedar sinai
00:38:57and ucla
00:38:59good work marksman
00:39:01this is working out perfectly
00:39:06now i can install my own allies in key positions
00:39:09soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:39:31it's an hour to meet you dr hart
00:39:38this is dr parker here he's a triple board certified surgeon and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:48this is dr rose jen rose and thomas all consummate professionals my most trusted colleagues back at vale
00:39:57with this surgical team
00:40:02heart medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country
00:40:05across the country
00:40:07actually the whole world
00:40:08we're eager to begin
00:40:10well welcome to heart medical center
00:40:15i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber
00:40:17caliber joining us but i do need to be transparent
00:40:22we have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge vale hospital's dominance
00:40:27have no fear dr hart with adrian leading our team we'll be three steps ahead of
00:40:32anything vale attempts
00:40:34yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:39yeah about that it's a preliminary version if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:44then what
00:40:46a lot of deaths
00:40:48a lot of lawsuits
00:40:50a lot of patients could be harmed or worse
00:40:52these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:40:56those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training
00:41:00without that foundation
00:41:02without that foundation
00:41:03we're talking about serious complications
00:41:06preventable harm
00:41:07our first priority has to be patient safety
00:41:10we need to perfect these procedures
00:41:12and then we can find a way to prevent vale from continuing
00:41:16with the flawed protocols
00:41:18exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:20it's about saving lives
00:41:25we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at vale to develop next
00:41:29generation surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:36even if vale hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:41we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:41:45and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:48rest assured their outcomes will deteriorate
00:41:52i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:55remember this moment
00:41:56in this battle for medical supremacy heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:42:08it's 3 a.m
00:42:11lost track of time again
00:42:18viv you surprised me
00:42:21looks like you could use a nice rub
00:42:23do you mind
00:42:26no
00:42:28i mean
00:42:29yeah
00:42:30will you give all your surgeons massages
00:42:34only the ones i really really like
00:42:42you really really like me
00:42:44adrian i've really really liked you since residency
00:42:48nothing's changed
00:42:49you were our most brilliant resident in the program
00:42:53i never imagined someone like you would like me
00:42:55there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:42:59only you
00:43:02but you were completely oblivious
00:43:04and then you just
00:43:06vanished from the program
00:43:08well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:43:11i know
00:43:15your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:19back then i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:24you know when i established heart medical center
00:43:27my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:30but that manipulative tyrant nelson bale
00:43:33had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives
00:43:39i understand now
00:43:47so
00:43:49should we pick up where we left off in residency
00:43:53you're the boss
00:43:54that's right

00:46:06you are completely worthless as surgeons
00:46:08dr marksman
00:46:10the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are
00:46:13extraordinarily intricate
00:46:14we need at least uh six months to properly master
00:46:18six months
00:46:19you have 72 hours and i expect hourly updates on my desk
00:46:24sir brushing these delicate procedures
00:46:27dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications
00:46:30three days
00:46:31then you don't get one hour more
00:46:33go go
00:46:39report dr marksman

00:51:54do you really think that this is acceptable
00:51:56i give you one simple task and you screw it up how the hell did either of you even finish residency
00:52:04vale general hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless
00:52:10little interns if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow you're both gone is that clear
00:52:17yes sir this is the man i trusted to lead my surgical team
00:52:21go
00:52:30oh mr vale what a what a what a surprise cut the
00:52:33bullshit marksman

00:52:39we're we're just refining the final stages
00:52:43yeah everything is under control good
00:52:46there's a problem i expect to hear it from you with no cover-ups
00:52:49of course sir
00:52:53mr fail not now go get me the latest performance reports
00:53:00it uh looks like preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here
00:53:07don't worry when preston makes me chief medical officer i'm gonna need someone
00:53:12flexible in my corner i was back the winning team dr marksman
00:53:19today vale hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next generation surgical program
00:53:31this cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:53:36especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day the question now is who
00:53:42will define the future of surgery relax mr vale heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:51i hope you're right for your sake
00:53:57didn't you say that uh if the rollout went well that you'd make me
00:54:00the chief medical officer it's not a success yet enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:09because if our results don't outshine heart medical it'll be the last thing you have
00:54:13to celebrate for a long time
00:54:26dr hart we um have a problem
00:54:30vale hospital's new surgical program launches today that's soon they're hosting a big celebration
00:54:36party tonight it's a good thing we're ahead of you're saying we're ready why would i lie we've been
00:54:47tracking bills every move let him celebrate it's just gonna backfire how exactly does that work in our favor
00:54:55babe do you remember what i told you when you first brought me here
00:54:58preston vale is rushing this he's desperate to beat us to the market and their model is flawed
00:55:07if they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure in their approach
00:55:12we won't have to lift a damn finger and what about when it falls apart then heart medical takes over as
00:55:17the future of modern surgery so you're saying that vale hospital has been refining the prototype
00:55:24surgical method that you designed it's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast
00:55:28they're using an early draft full of mistakes that i won't make again
00:55:33they don't even realize the cracks in their foundation that actually makes perfect sense
00:55:40which means we've already won well this is a big day for us we should celebrate what do you have
00:55:47in mind drinks not quite you and i are crashing the veil launch party tonight what why let me worry about
00:55:57that in the meantime ensure a smooth rollout finish whatever procedures you need to

00:59:49oh look who crawled in from the gutter the failed surgeon the fraud the nobody
00:59:57the fraud the nobody showed up to my party and dirty scrubs marksman thought i told the security to
01:00:05keep out the criminals in the low lives guess you need to fire them too pardon me i just came straight
01:00:10from surgery because some of us here are real surgeons what are you trying to say i'm saying
01:00:15that the failed surgeon the fraud the nobody isn't me
01:00:21i can't have him expose me in front of all these people
01:00:28got some nerve talking to my man marksman like that a genius like him leading our surgical team
01:00:34you won't be able to get anywhere near our next party yeah because it'll happen in prison

01:05:28that maneuver that notebook it's mine then tell them
01:05:37where is he going maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program
01:05:41at another fake hospital leaving so soon dr pj's say why don't you come back when you've actually
01:05:47saved a life
01:05:53that procedure david used i invented it what kind of crack are you smoking he's delusional
01:06:01somebody seriously check this guy's medical license the notebook he used to save your father
01:06:06that's mine my handwriting my theories just pissed because he did what you couldn't i'm pissed because
01:06:16you used rudimentary theories as innovation and when it fails and it will you're not the ones that'll
01:06:26pay for it the patients will you can't prove that not yet but you can't fake medicine
01:06:33medicine and science always tell the truth
01:06:41our three's vitals just dropped we've got uncontrolled bleeding second patient today
01:06:45same issue vessel ligation failed mid operation these techniques aren't viable the veil method
01:06:51doesn't hold under stress i mean come on tonight proves it we're ahead of every surgical institute in the country
01:07:03i'll be right back just coordinating with the team
01:07:13talk to me the vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again this is the second patient bleeding out tonight
01:07:21use the compression step that only works in control scenarios
01:07:25we told you these procedures weren't fully tested look just follow the notes
01:07:34i designed those techniques for 101 guidance not mass implementation without calibration
01:07:41it's unstable it's dangerous they tried to commercialize your success without you
01:07:46now people are paying for it
01:07:48all good of course just routine coordination
01:07:55routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss your surgical program is failing and patients
01:08:01are suffering you've been out of the field for months you wouldn't know yeah i would know because
01:08:06the procedures that you're butchering i invented and i'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that
01:08:12you made in your surgical wing oh oh yes this is dr marksman yeah connect me with the surgical
01:08:25coordinator immediately okay listen very carefully your patient or three is experiencing a catastrophic
01:08:33hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed no you need to perform a
01:08:40marksman modified pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial legation followed by a rapid sequence
01:08:46vascular anatomosis using interrupted six dash zero proline sutures yes yes
01:08:58how do we even know he made a phone call his whole thing is performance charade you stole his methods
01:09:05this entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork uh that's a lie then prove me wrong
01:09:13show them all a technique that i didn't create
01:09:19why would we believe anything he says he was fired he needed you're right i was fired and the same
01:09:26procedures i pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary yeah you know what this is
01:09:32pathetic he's just jealous he missed his shot is that what you told yourself when you snuck back into
01:09:38my office and stole my surgical journal even if that were true this isn't the time or the place i think
01:09:46it's exactly the time and place
01:09:59i just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator and thanks to adrian's guidance
01:10:05our surgeons were able to stabilize the coating patients adrian just cleaned up your mess
01:10:12you took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him the one person who could
01:10:19make them safe dad you don't see the full picture here oh i'm seeing it perfectly well this hospital was
01:10:28built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both your father nearly died because of your ego
01:10:36because of his lies you saved me you saved nelson and now you can save vale tried to warn you all
01:10:48no one listened well they're listening now you deserve to be at vale more than either of those two
01:10:57and probably even more than me it was a mistake to let you go months ago i was fired from vale hospital
01:11:06with procedures still in development they weren't ready they needed supervision precision development
01:11:14instead someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory oh you can't prove that security
01:11:22footage of you stealing adrian's notebook from the hospital already submitted to the board
01:11:31i built on what he started okay i i didn't steal i i i enhanced it then why were patients about to die
01:11:43you falsified rollout readiness he did more than that he put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter
01:11:50than the guy that actually created the program we're going to need to open a formal investigation on this
01:11:56this is absurd this was supposed to be our night oh it's your night it's just not the way you thought
01:12:03it'd be you lied to me i didn't lie i simplified the truth simplify you could have caused serious harm
01:12:13to countless innocent people you nearly killed the president of the hospital you passed up experimental
01:12:19procedures as launch ready that's malpractice they worked nelson's alive look the patients they're
01:12:27alive yeah because of me those methods require sequential tensioning breath control special clamp
01:12:34techniques getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death wait these really are your
01:12:38techniques i tested them for years it was never meant for mass rollout not without training you're
01:12:46rewriting history no you tried to erase him from it adrian marksman was the reason that veil's program
01:12:54had a future and without him it won't this is absurd you're siding with this disgraced former resident
01:13:03he's not disgraced son you are you hijacked a program you didn't understand and then when your ego
01:13:11wasn't enough you propped up this fraud taking his side dad i'm your son i'm taking the side of truth
01:13:23and so will the board we will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning until then both of
01:13:29you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties suspended no no you can't do that you don't
01:13:35understand the politics of running a hospital we understand the liability that's enough
01:13:42mr press and veil dr david marksman come with us dad you're not gonna often drag me out like this
01:13:50i'm your son no don't you touch me you're not a child hey dad you're not my responsibility
01:14:05adrian please i made a mistake i see that now i should have believed in you
01:14:16i should have stood by you you were right about everything
01:14:24just give me a second chance please i still love you
01:14:29love you traded him the second someone flashier walked by you don't understand i thought he was
01:14:38finished i thought he had nothing left so you sold him out mocked him over and over again i was scared
01:14:48i i didn't know what to do oh you knew you just didn't care not until you realized that the horse you
01:14:55bet on turned out to be a loser please say something anything you had your chance viona
01:15:05and you spent it holding preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive
01:15:18you always belonged in my operating room and i should have fought harder to keep you
01:15:23if i'd only known what was going on behind the scenes the board will vote that preston
01:15:30is removed from the board and david will never go near another patient again
01:15:35we're rebuilding and i want you back as veil's chief of experimental surgery
01:15:42i'm sorry dr vale you had your chance too i'm not the same man that you fire
01:15:51well all the more reason we need you back at veil adrian 2.0 i'm not coming back
01:16:01you're choosing her our rival you arrogant little ingrate i open the door for you and you

01:17:25well i've got all night and you're not leaving this room until i've properly celebrated my genius
01:17:31surgeon should i be afraid of a performance review you're already exceeding expectations
01:17:39but i am very thorough
01:17:47getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me besides meeting you of course
