Short filmTranscript
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!
00:00:23All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, 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?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55What? Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this.
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:04Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:15That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Metzenbaum scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bobby Cotterie.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:44But how did he...
00:01:48Silk suture.
00:01:48Okay.
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.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but...
00:02:30That...
00:02:31That 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.
00:02:39I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:02:59Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you...
00:03:10You 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,
00:03:20that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:22You...
00:03:23You saved my Catherine.
00:03:25She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients
00:03:38that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:55You're all stable.
00:04:22Every single one of them.
00:04:24Stabilized.
00:04:25Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:39All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:42Okay.
00:04:42Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating one night.
00:05:05I saved every single patient in that pile-up.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you better than anyone.
00:05:25Goldberry.
00:05:26Your favorite?
00:05:28You 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.
00:05:42It'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, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:15What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:18Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:23Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Bale.
00:06:27Preston Bale's son.
00:06:28Harvard 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 pancreatico duodenectomy.
00:06:38I'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!
00:06:50Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:55You'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 in everybody's attention now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:21Who does he think he is, Dr. House?
00:07:24What is this?
00:07:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:33This is a hospital.
00:07:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:41That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'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 just 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?
00:08:03That was good.
00:08:06Let'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.
00:08:23Did 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?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw you a 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.
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.
00:09:52This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical law.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:58I see.
00:10:08Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:12He'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.
00:10:19I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42Look, 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.
00:10:48I'll be waiting.
00:10:58You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05If the board won't like this, four attendings dismissed in one day, patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:14Or 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.
00:11:26I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:28Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks?
00:11:38Including yours.
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:43Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's in charge around here?
00:11:50Hey, Dad.
00:11:59What's wrong?
00:12:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:02She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:17Dr. Marksman?
00:12:18Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:21Get out of my hospital.
00:12:23Christ.
00:12:24The resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston?
00:12:28Are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:31Um, see if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:34I 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.
00:12:55Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:03Two-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.
00:13:13There'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, fire him.
00:13:22Already done, Dad.
00:13:23I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:26Thank God.
00:13:27Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:31I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh, just take care of mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:46See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:49Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:56Can'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.
00:14:05Give me the situation, now.
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?
00:14:24There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:31If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:34That's the thing we need.
00:14:34Fiona, call him.
00:14:36Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:39The one I didn't fire.
00:14:40Keep up.
00:14:46The hell?
00:14:48Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:02Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:07Mmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:13These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:16Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:22Hello?
00:15:24Dr. Marksman.
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:30there'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 seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:52Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:16:01Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:08Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:10I 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,
00:16:25the 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.
00:16:51Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:56You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:58can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that 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 with no future.
00:17:08You pathetic loser.
00:17:26We'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.
00:17:38Why 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.
00:18:01Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:18:08I'm just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:12You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:14Perhaps try nursing.
00:18:16I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:18Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:18:28who lied about their credentials?
00:18:30President Vail would never have hired someone
00:18:33who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am,
00:18:42there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:46You 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.
00:18:55He'll authorize you to be here.
00:19:01Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce
00:19:03that under my supervision,
00:19:05we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:06from the multi-car accident,
00:19:08and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:13Ah, yes.
00:19:13The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, wasn't it?
00:19:19These morons have no idea
00:19:23I'm taking credit
00:19:24for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:28I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail, I've identified
00:19:32who's responsible for all the issues
00:19:34in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping
00:19:37while a patient almost 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.
00:20:02When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:04Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:07Huh.
00:20:09Amazing.
00:20:09I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face
00:20:12when he discovers
00:20:13that his Price Surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With, uh, respect,
00:20:20we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:23Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:24even consider joining us?
00:20:26We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:29Full department autonomy,
00:20:32research funding,
00:20:33state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:36and, if necessary,
00:20:38my personal involvement.
00:20:39His techniques could revolutionize
00:20:43surgical 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.
00:20:59Alphysus.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:03Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded while you were off
00:21:06taking 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
00:21:13as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:15And when a complication occurs,
00:21:16which happened in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me.
00:21:23The collective medical knowledge
00:21:26in this room isn't enough
00:21:27to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:30If you were even half the surgeon
00:21:31that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here
00:21:36and debate medicine with you
00:21:38in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:39Security,
00:21:39please 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,
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 everything in your power
00:22:05to make sure you lose
00:22:06your medical license.
00:22:09Come on.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:15holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:16You really underestimate
00:22:20my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:23Don't you realize
00:22:24that Mr. Vail here
00:22:25can end your entire career
00:22:26with one phone call?
00:22:28Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:29that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all,
00:22:32he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:33wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston,
00:22:35you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:41I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman
00:22:46is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:48and every medical institute
00:22:49in the country.
00:22:51Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:52Do you know what 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 before I go.
00:23:03Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:06My 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 immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:20Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:25That's quite enough.
00:23:26Let him go.
00:23:39Dr. 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.
00:23:50You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart
00:23:53from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:56That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:59Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you
00:24:02since 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
00:24:09in the country, of course.
00:24:10Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:19Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:22Your father built this institution's reputation
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.
00:24:36Someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence.
00:24:38Dr. Hart,
00:24:40I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman
00:24:42represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised patient 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?
00:25:16Did 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
00:25:26his 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,
00:25:36remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:40This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:43The president wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:44a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations
00:25:48were professional courtesy,
00:25:51not genuine respect.
00:25:53Well, 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,

00:27:14this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at vale
00:27:18and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:27:22the medical 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

00:28:54the medical board is going to see that justice is done
00:28:58oh your stupidity it's just astonishing you treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels
00:29:07this man is a life-saving artist
00:29:11dr hart i understand there's some competition between your center and vale hospital

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 vale 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

00:30:18you 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

00:32:33glad you're feeling better honey
00:32:38thank you
00:32:39yeah
00:32:39oh
00:32:40sorry
00:32:41who's this
00:32:42nelson vale speaking
00:32:47president vale
00:32:48dr vivian hart here
00:32:50i am calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:32:53hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:32:57revolutionary surgical procedures are vale hospital's domain
00:33:02are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:05this is merely a professional courtesy call
00:33:08not an invitation for debate
00:33:10now just
00:33:11just that conniving bitch plotting
00:33:19she knows adrian
00:33:20is our surgical secret weapon
00:33:23why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:33:28unless
00:33:31dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:38dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:40just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:42dad relax
00:33:44i fired the other one
00:33:46that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:49then explain to me
00:33:50why hart medical center
00:33:52believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:56because i
00:33:58masterfully led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:02it's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:34:05i convinced vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance
00:34:09but in reality she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:13so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:16she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:19behind vale hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:34:21that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:34:24impressive son
00:34:26you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:34:29i've been waiting to see out of you
00:34:30i think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division
00:34:35dad this this is everything i've worked for thank you
00:34:41we'll get to work immediately
00:34:42we're going to expose hart medical center
00:34:46for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:50their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:34:53i won't let you down
00:34:55darling
00:34:57surgical innovation is the future of vale
00:35:01preston only got his mba last year do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:35:08i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset remember we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:17you mean the surgeon that saved my life dr adrian marksman
00:35:22exactly
00:35:23and all i need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents
00:35:32as long as adrian is with vale hospital heart medical center has no chance of competing
00:35:39not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster dr david marksman
00:35:48what we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble
00:35:56so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:06what do you think
00:36:08what do you think
00:36:09it's not bad
00:36:10it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:12what you've built here
00:36:14it's impressive viv
00:36:16it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:20you too
00:36:22you too
00:36:23you need to expand
00:36:24it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:27also
00:36:28i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:33we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:39and i always find the best one
00:36:41i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:52good
00:36:54the faster we rise
00:36:56the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:00this better be good
00:37:15mr vale
00:37:17you wanted to see me
00:37:21my father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:27given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:30i'm appointing you head of innovation
00:37:32mr vale i uh
00:37:34is there an issue with that
00:37:36no absolutely not
00:37:38the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:37:41and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:37:44if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:50mr vale you can trust me completely
00:37:54i am precisely the right man for the job
00:37:59preston we have a catastrophe on our hands
00:38:01two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously
00:38:04the department can't possibly maintain its caseload
00:38:06what
00:38:07they both resigned at once what was their explanation
00:38:09they refused to disclose their reasons
00:38:11but there's talk they were recruited by a former vale physician
00:38:13along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:16former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:21president what is our contingency plan
00:38:24the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:26if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer
00:38:28hey everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:31you still have me
00:38:34i can rebuild this department
00:38:36ah yes
00:38:38with your stellar reputation we should be able to get the best of the best
00:38:41exactly
00:38:42so we lost some second-rate talent
00:38:45let him go
00:38:46i'll make some calls to cedar sinai
00:38:50and ucla
00:38:52good work marksman
00:38:54this is working out perfectly
00:38:59now i can install my own allies in key positions
00:39:02soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:39:09it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:30this is dr parker here
00:39:37he's a triple board certified surgeon
00:39:39and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:41this is dr rose
00:39:43jen
00:39:44rose
00:39:45and thomas
00:39:46all consummate professionals
00:39:48my most trusted colleagues back at vale
00:39:53with this surgical team
00:39:55heart medical can revolutionize surgical care
00:39:57all across the country
00:40:00actually the whole world
00:40:02we're eager to begin dr hart
00:40:04well
00:40:05welcome to heart medical center
00:40:08i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:40:11but
00:40:12i do need to be transparent
00:40:14we have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge vale hospitals dominance
00:40:20have no fear dr hart
00:40:21with hadrian leading our team we'll be three steps ahead of anything bail attempts
00:40:26yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:33yeah about that
00:40:34it's a preliminary version
00:40:36if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:39then what
00:40:40a lot of deaths
00:40:41a lot of lawsuits
00:40:43a lot of patients could be harmed
00:40:45or worse
00:40:46these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:40:50those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation
00:40:56we're talking about serious complications preventable harm
00:41:00our first priority has to be patient safety
00:41:03we need to perfect these procedures
00:41:05and then we can find a way to prevent bail from continuing with the flawed protocols
00:41:10exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:13it's about saving lives
00:41:14we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at veil to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:41:24eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:28even if veil hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:34we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:41:37and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:41rest assured
00:41:42their outcomes will deteriorate
00:41:44i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:47remember this moment
00:41:49in this battle for medical supremacy
00:41:51heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:41:55it's 3 a.m.
00:42:02lost track of time again
00:42:05Viv, you surprised me
00:42:12looks like you could use a nice rub
00:42:16do you mind?
00:42:18no
00:42:19i mean
00:42:21yeah
00:42:22yeah

00:42:29you really really like me
00:42:36adrian i've really really liked you since residency
00:42:39nothing's changed
00:42:41you were our most brilliant resident in the program
00:42:45i never imagined someone like you would like me
00:42:48there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:42:50only you
00:42:53but you were completely oblivious
00:42:57and then you just
00:42:58vanished from the program
00:43:00well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:43:04i know
00:43:06your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:10back then i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:15you know when i established heart medical center
00:43:19my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:22but that manipulative tyrant nelson vale
00:43:26had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives
00:43:30i understand now
00:43:32i understand now
00:43:40so
00:43:42should we
00:43:43pick up where we left off in residency
00:43:46you're the boss
00:43:47that's right
00:43:49and as your boss i say
00:43:51come home with me
00:43:53tonight
00:43:54you lost everything
00:43:55you lost everything when preston fired you
00:43:57hospital privileges
00:43:59research funding
00:44:01even your hospital subsidized apartment
00:44:05you have literally nowhere else to go tonight

00:44:28hmm

00:44:31i might start thinking you're easy to please
00:44:34that just depends on the company
00:44:36well starting tonight
00:44:38this is your new home
00:44:40until the program is fully established
00:44:43it just

00:44:45are you sure about that
00:44:46we already work late hours
00:44:48living together
00:44:50could get complicated

00:48:17thank you
00:48:18When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:23Sound good?
00:48:24Yes.
00:48:25Absolutely.
00:48:27Good.
00:48:28Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:36Extra special.
00:48:37Okay, team, we're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:50We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:48:56Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:48:58I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:00I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations,
00:49:08each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:15And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification,
00:49:20every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:28At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:37Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:44Absolutely.
00:49:45You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:47Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:49:49With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:52Heart is best!
00:49:53Heart is best!
00:49:55Heart is best!
00:49:56Heart is best!
00:49:57Heart is best!
00:49:58Heart is best!
00:50:25Heart is best!
00:50:25Heart is best!
00:50:25You always this disciplined?
00:50:31Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:35If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:38Midnight meetings.
00:50:40Long hours.
00:50:43This work ethic of yours.
00:50:46It's a little dangerous.
00:50:50That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:53Then they fired me.
00:50:55Then they were fools.
00:51:01You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:04You know that, right?
00:51:10You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:13I don't try.
00:51:17I do.
00:51:21Well, don't work too late.
00:51:26You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:36The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:41Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:43Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:48I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.
00:51:52How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:56Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,
00:51:59and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:02If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:07Is that clear?
00:52:09Yes, sir.
00:52:10This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:15Go.
00:52:16Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:23What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:25Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:27Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:29Of course.
00:52:31We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:35Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:37Good.
00:52:38There's a problem, I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:40No cover-ups.
00:52:41Of course, sir.
00:52:45Mr. Vail.
00:52:46Not now.
00:52:47Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:53It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:52:59Don't worry.
00:53:00When Preston makes me chief medical officer,
00:53:02I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:06I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:16Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:22This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:27especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:33The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:37Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:39Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:42I hope you're right.
00:53:44For your sake.
00:53:48Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:54It's not a success.
00:53:56Yet.
00:53:59Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:01Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:04it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:06Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:22Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:25That soon?
00:54:26They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:29It's a good thing we're ahead of them.
00:54:35You're saying we're ready?
00:54:37Why would I lie?
00:54:38We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:41Let him celebrate.
00:54:42It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:44How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:47Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:52Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:54He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:56And?
00:54:57Their model's flawed.
00:54:58If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:03we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:06And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:08Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:12So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:17It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:20They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:25They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:28That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:32Which means we've already won.
00:55:35Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:37We should celebrate.
00:55:38What do you have in mind?
00:55:40Drinks?
00:55:40Not quite.
00:55:41You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:45What?
00:55:46Why?
00:55:47Let me worry about that.
00:55:49In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:51Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:54And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:55:56Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:14I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:19Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:24And I just get the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:56:34This should be fun.
00:56:38Absolutely.
00:56:40You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:43Stop it.
00:56:44Too bad you're taken.
00:56:45Yeah.
00:56:46Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:47Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:49Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:52Forget about her.
00:56:53She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:56We'll show you a better time.
00:57:01Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:02Let's go.
00:57:03Fiona who?
00:57:07Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:09The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:33Please try again later.
00:57:35It's 20 in one day.
00:58:00All clean, all stable.
00:58:03Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:06You did it.
00:58:08No.
00:58:09We didn't.
00:58:13Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:16You're already late.
00:58:17I need a change there.
00:58:18You don't have time.
00:58:20Where's Vivian?
00:58:20Taking care of something.
00:58:22Taking care of something.
00:58:24She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:29Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:33What the fuck?
00:58:50You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:52I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:55Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:58:58So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:02Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:24It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:29Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:32What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:34You weren't invited.
00:59:35You're so sure about that?
00:59:36I mean, look at you.
00:59:37This is a black tie.
00:59:39I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:43Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:47The found surgeon.
00:59:48The fraud.
00:59:50The nobody.
00:59:52Showed to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:55Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
00:59:58Guess I need to fire them, too.
00:59:59Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:03Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:05What are you trying to say?
01:00:07I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:13I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:20Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:23A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:26You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:28Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:30When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:36What are you talking about?
01:00:40Identity theft.
01:00:42Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:44Yours?
01:00:45Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:48If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:00:51Speaking from experience.
01:00:53Look around you.
01:00:56This is the elite among the elite.
01:00:59The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:01Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:06Good.
01:01:07I'm glad.
01:01:07Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:10Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:13That's enough.
01:01:13Guards?
01:01:15This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:18Kick him out.
01:01:18Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:23I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:27What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:29Grab him.
01:01:44Preston.
01:01:45What the hell is this?
01:01:47Dad.
01:01:48Relax.
01:01:49I, uh...
01:01:50Relax?
01:01:52This twat came in on invite.
01:01:54I was just kicking him out.
01:01:55Guards, remove him immediately.
01:01:56President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:01:59You get out of my way.
01:02:01Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:02This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:07You are such a fool!
01:02:10Dad.
01:02:11What are you doing?
01:02:13Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:15This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:19You are a...
01:02:20You are a...
01:02:20Disgraced!
01:02:23Dad!
01:02:25My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:29Into a...
01:02:30Dad!
01:02:32Dad!
01:02:37Dad!
01:02:37My dad!
01:02:38Oh...
01:02:38President Vale.
01:02:41Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:43Are you out of your mind?
01:02:44He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:46Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:48I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:50Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:52David!
01:02:53David!
01:02:53David!
01:02:53It's cold!
01:02:55It's cold!
01:02:59Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:02Blanking?
01:03:03Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:04Shut up!
01:03:05Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:08This is ridiculous.
01:03:09I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:12Why are you just standing there?
01:03:13Do something!
01:03:14What's the matter, David?
01:03:17If you need help, just ask.
01:03:19All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:22Right here.
01:03:23Right now.
01:03:25I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:27What if I kill him?
01:03:29I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:32I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:34I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:36David!
01:03:37This is a matter of life and death.
01:03:40Let it go!
01:03:42I...
01:03:43I...
01:03:44I can't!
01:03:48I can't do this.
01:03:49Okay, I can't...
01:03:52I can't do this.
01:03:53I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:02He stole it from me.
01:04:10Okay, okay.
01:04:12I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:17Okay.
01:04:17I got it, I got it, I got it.
01:04:22Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:24Okay.
01:04:24All right, hold his head.
01:04:26Good.
01:04:26Tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:29Okay.
01:04:31Okay.
01:04:31Okay.
01:04:40Okay.
01:04:42Okay.
01:04:42Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:44Ready?
01:04:46Four.
01:04:47Okay.
01:04:50Oh, thank God.
01:04:52How are you?
01:04:53Let it out.
01:04:58Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:02Surgical genius.
01:05:03Oh.
01:05:04That's how Val makes history.
01:05:06Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:08Or at least a new department.
01:05:09If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:14Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:17That maneuver, that notebook.
01:05:21It's mine.
01:05:22Then tell them.
01:05:27Where is he going?
01:05:29Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:34Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:36Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:39That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:47What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:49He's delusional.
01:05:51Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:54The notebook he used to save your father.
01:05:57That's mine.
01:05:59My handwriting.
01:06:00My theories.
01:06:02You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:05I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:10And when it fails,
01:06:12then it will.
01:06:15You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:17The patients will.
01:06:18You can't prove that.
01:06:20Not yet.
01:06:22But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:25Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:31Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:33We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:34Second patient today.
01:06:35Same issue.
01:06:36Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:39These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:40The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:44I mean, come on.
01:06:45Tonight proves it.
01:06:46We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:57I'll be right back.
01:06:59Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:03Talk to me.
01:07:03The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:06This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:11Use the compression step.
01:07:12That only works in control scenarios.
01:07:15We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:19Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:20I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance, not mass implementation.
01:07:25Without calibration, it's unstable.
01:07:30It's dangerous.
01:07:30They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:33Now people are paying for it.
01:07:35All good?
01:07:38Of course.
01:07:40Just routine coordination.
01:07:42Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:46Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:48And patients are suffering.
01:07:49You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:51You wouldn't know?
01:07:52Yeah, I would know.
01:07:53Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:07:56And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:01Oh, shit.
01:08:02Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:11Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:15Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:17Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:21because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:26No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:29with selective hepatic arterial ligation.
01:08:32Followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:35using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:42Yes.
01:08:45How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:48This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:51You stole his methods.
01:08:52This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:08:58Uh, that's a lie.
01:08:59Then prove me wrong.
01:09:00Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:03Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:08He was fired.
01:09:09Humiliated.
01:09:10You're right, I was fired.
01:09:12And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:18You know what?
01:09:19This is pathetic.
01:09:20He's just jealous.
01:09:21He missed his shot.
01:09:23Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:24When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:27Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:32I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:35I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:49And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:09:56Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:09:59You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:05The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:07Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:12Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:14This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:20Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:24Because of his lies.
01:10:27You saved me.
01:10:29You saved Nelson.
01:10:31And now you can save Vale.
01:10:34I tried to warn you all.
01:10:36No one listened.
01:10:37Well, they're listening now.
01:10:39You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:44And probably even more than me.
01:10:46It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:50Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:10:55They weren't ready.
01:10:56They needed supervision.
01:10:59Precision.
01:11:00Development.
01:11:01Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:05Oh.
01:11:05You can't prove that.
01:11:08Security footage.
01:11:12Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:16Already submitted to the board.
01:11:18I built on what he started, okay?
01:11:23I didn't steal.
01:11:24I enhanced it.
01:11:26Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:29You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:32He did more than that.
01:11:34He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:39We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:42This is absurd.
01:11:44This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:47Oh, it's your night.
01:11:49Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:50You lied to me.
01:11:52You lied to me.
01:11:53I didn't lie.
01:11:54I simplified the truth.
01:11:56Simplify?
01:11:57You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:01You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:05You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:08That's malpractice.
01:12:09They worked.
01:12:11Nelson's alive.
01:12:12Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:14Yeah, because of me.
01:12:15Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:21Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:23Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:12:26I tested them for years.
01:12:28It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:31Not without training.
01:12:33You're rewriting history?
01:12:35No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:37But Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:42And without him, it won't.
01:12:44This is absurd!
01:12:46You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:49He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:51You are.
01:12:53You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:12:56And then when your ego wasn't enough,
01:12:59you propped up this fraud.
01:13:04Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:06I'm your son.
01:13:07I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:10And so will the board.
01:13:11We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:14Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:19Suspended?
01:13:20No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:21You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:24We understand the liability.
01:13:25That's enough.
01:13:26Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:34Dad, you're not going to let him drag me out like this.
01:13:36I'm your son.
01:13:37No, don't you touch me.
01:13:39You're not a child.
01:13:40Hey, Dad!
01:13:41I'm your son.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43I'm your son.
01:13:44Son of a...
01:13:44Dad!
01:13:45I'm your son.
01:13:45Do something.
01:13:46Get off me.
01:13:46I'm your son.
01:13:47I'm your son.
01:13:47I'm your son.
01:13:48I'm your son.
01:13:48I'm your son.
01:13:49You're not my responsibility.
01:13:51Trim, please.
01:13:59I made a mistake.
01:14:00I see that now.
01:14:01I should have believed in you.
01:14:03I should have stood by you.
01:14:05You were right about everything.
01:14:10Just give me a second chance.
01:14:12Please.
01:14:14I still love you.
01:14:17Love?
01:14:18You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:21You don't understand.
01:14:23I thought he was finished.
01:14:26I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:27So you sold him out.
01:14:29Mocked him.
01:14:31Over and over again.
01:14:33I was scared.
01:14:34I...
01:14:35I didn't know what to do.
01:14:36Oh, you knew.
01:14:38You just didn't care.
01:14:39Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:44Please.
01:14:45Say something.
01:14:48Anything.
01:14:49You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:51And he spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:14:55You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:06And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:12The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:17And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:21We're rebuilding.
01:15:22And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:30I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:33You had your chance, too.
01:15:35I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:37Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale, Adrian 2.0.
01:15:43I'm not coming back.
01:15:44You're choosing her, our rival, you arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:52I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:15:57Just typical.
01:15:58Well, just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:04She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:08Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:10Get me out of here.
01:16:13Now!
01:16:31Karma has good timing.
01:16:35Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:39We have lives to save.
01:16:40Hey!
01:16:42Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:46I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:52Now?
01:16:53Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:03This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:05It's not bad.
01:17:07I need a second opinion.
01:17:10Well, I've got all night.
01:17:12And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:18Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:20You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:25But I am very thorough.
01:17:33Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:38Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:40I'm not leaving.
01:17:40I'll be right back.
01:18:00Okay.
