Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:00:07patients plodding into Bale Hospital's emergency department. The fate of these accident victims
00:00:13now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of
00:00:18devastating trauma. Facials crashing, we need an attending surgeon now! All the hours are full,
00:00:24we got three more criticals incoming. Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:51Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:56Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this?
00:00:59The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time 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.
00:01:17Trust me. Metzenbaum scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bowbie cautery. Watch.
00:01:40He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:41But bleeding. It's under control. But how did he...
00:01:46Silk suture.
00:01:49Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:02I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:03I'm almost done.
00:02:05This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:18This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:22What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:29I 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 who
00:02:44revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:52Final suture.
00:02:57Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:04Doctor.
00:03:06The nurses, they said you did it.
00:03:10And you, you 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,
00:03:20that she only had weeks to live, but you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:29Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Bale.
00:03:32My hospital.
00:03:36Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:37Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:41It's going to take hours.
00:03:43Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:04:02You're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them stabilized.
00:04:26Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:33You must have operated all night.
00:04:35You're a machine.
00:04:37Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:40All right.
00:04:41It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:54Hey, you.
00:05:02Hey, yourself.
00:05:05I've been operating all night.
00:05:07I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:11What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you.
00:05:19Better than anyone.
00:05:26Goldberry.
00:05:27Your favorite.
00:05:29You remembered.
00:05:31Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:38I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:50It's the third time this week.
00:05:52Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:56So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:58His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:59Not sure.
00:06:00I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:02I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:05With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:08What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:19Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:24Who is this guy?
00:06:25Preston Vale, President Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:30He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:34who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:39I'm sorry.
00:06:39Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:45Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:47Sir, save it.
00:06:51Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:56You're fired.
00:06:57Clear out your office.
00:06:58New management means new standards.
00:07:01It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:06Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:07:10If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:16No complications, no deaths.
00:07:19This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:21Who does he think he is?
00:07:24Dr. House?
00:07:27What is this?
00:07:29Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:32Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:34This is a hospital.
00:07:38We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:42That was for my residency direction.
00:07:44Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:46Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time
00:07:50collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:53You'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
00:07:58her time here.
00:08:00Yes, sir.
00:08:01Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:05That was good.
00:08:06Let's go.
00:08:12Well, well, well.
00:08:13What do we have here?
00:08:15Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:18Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:24Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:26No, you didn't.
00:08:28But here's one anyway.
00:08:29You are fired.
00:08:34Are you serious?
00:08:35You're firing me?
00:08:38Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:40Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:43Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:45He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:51What's he make?
00:08:52Seven hundred thousand.
00:08:54That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:56Seven hundred?
00:08:58Are you insane?
00:08:59You're giving resident money to a first year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:02This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:05I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:07I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:08Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:11Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:15What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:17Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:23Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:27My career comes first.
00:09:29Boy, bye.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:33His credentials.
00:09:35Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:38Fiona?
00:09:41Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:49Clear out your office.
00:09:50Clear out your locker.
00:09:52And get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:55This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:56You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:57You don't get to wear that.
00:10:06I see.
00:10:09Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:11You don't understand.
00:10:13He's the one who-
00:10:13Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:16Beat it.
00:10:17Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:19Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:27I understand.
00:10:41Hospital politics.
00:10:43I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:47Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:50I'll be waiting.
00:10:59You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:01The board won't like this.
00:11:08Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:10Patient care will suffer.
00:11:12Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:14I intend to wield it.
00:11:16Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:20Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:23No, Preston.
00:11:24He means nothing to me.
00:11:26Really.
00:11:27I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:29Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:32Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:36Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:46Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:59Hey, Dad.
00:12:00What's wrong?
00:12:01Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:03She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:08And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:11Of course, what is it?
00:12:12That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:18Dr. Marksman?
00:12:20Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:22Get out of my hospital.
00:12:24Christ, the resident I just fired?
00:12:28Preston, are you there?
00:12:31Check the staff roster.
00:12:32Um, see if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:38I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:41He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:43And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:47The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:56Ah, yes, I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:01Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:05Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:09Three times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:11Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:13That's our man.
00:13:14There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:18Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:20Do me a favor, fire him.
00:13:23Already done, Dad.
00:13:25I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:27Thank God.
00:13:28Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:33I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:37Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:39I got everything else under control.
00:13:47See?
00:13:48Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:50Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:55Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:57Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:59Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:00The six-car pileup.
00:14:01You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:02What's your point?
00:14:03The ER is crashing.
00:14:05We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:06Give me the situation now.
00:14:16Six critical traumas.
00:14:17Three more incoming.
00:14:18Multiple crush injuries.
00:14:20Arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:22We're losing patients.
00:14:23What are our options?
00:14:24There might be one solution.
00:14:26Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:29He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:32If we can get him back here.
00:14:33Marksman, right.
00:14:35That's the men we need.
00:14:35Fiona, call him.
00:14:36Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:39The genius surgeon.
00:14:40The one I didn't fire.
00:14:42Keep up.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:49Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:05Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:10Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:12Wait.
00:15:14These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:18Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:24Hello?
00:15:24Dr. Marksman?
00:15:26Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:28Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:31there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:32I'm on my way.
00:15:38With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:42They'll make me department head.
00:15:44And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:52Well?
00:15:53Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:55Thank God.
00:15:56Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:16:05Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:09Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:11I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:13You're my future.
00:16:15That's my girl.
00:16:24Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:26the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:30To hell with this.
00:16:31I'm going out.
00:16:46Piece of shit!
00:16:51Get your hand off my girl!
00:16:53Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:57You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:02You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:06I can choose who I want.
00:17:08And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:10You pathetic loser.
00:17:12We're done, Adrian.
00:17:29Ancient history.
00:17:31Are you serious?
00:17:34Just like that.
00:17:35Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:38Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:42Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:44I need someone with a future.
00:17:46Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:53Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:56It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:18:03Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:04I'm the future of Vale Hospital, and you?
00:18:11Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:14You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:15Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:17I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:20Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
00:18:23I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:27Get over yourself.
00:18:28You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:31President Vale would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:39We're done.
00:18:41I'm not done.
00:18:42But when I am, there won't be a Vale Hospital left standing.
00:18:48You can count on that.
00:18:52No, no, no. Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:54Your troubles are just getting started.
00:19:01Who authorized you to be here?
00:19:02Mr. Vale, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:08from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:12You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:14Ah, yes, the very same.
00:19:16My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:20Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:21I don't know.
00:19:22These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
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 OR3 today.
00:19:38He was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:42Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:44Dr. Hart.
00:19:54Incredible news.
00:19:56Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:20:00he's just been terminated from Vale Hospital.
00:20:03When?
00:20:04Less than an hour ago. Dismissed by President Vale's son.
00:20:09Huh. Amazing.
00:20:12I'd pay to see Nelson Vale's face when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:20:17was fired by his submental son.
00:20:20With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation?
00:20:24Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:28Well, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:31Full department autonomy, research funding, state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:37and, if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:20:43His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:46Have my car brought round.
00:20:48I'm going to Vale Hospital personally.
00:20:51And Adrian Marksman?
00:20:52He's leaving with me.
00:21:01Alphesis? What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:04Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:06A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:09The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:11Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:13This is crazy.
00:21:14You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon,
00:21:17and when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:23you blame me.
00:21:26The collective medical knowledge 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.
00:21:40Security, please detain him.
00:21:47What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:50Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:21:57Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:02What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:04You better confess now, or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:11Come on.
00:22:12Go ahead.
00:22:13Do 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?
00:22:25Don't you realize that Mr. Vale here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:30Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:22:33After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:36Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:39Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:41I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:45As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vale Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:53Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:54Do you know what that means?
00:22:56It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:23:00I have one question before I go.
00:23:05Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:08My 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?
00:23:17Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:23:20Immediately.
00:23:22Yes, doctor.
00:23:23Right away, sir.
00:23:27That's quite enough.
00:23:28Let him go.
00:23:40Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:52You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstar from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:58That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vale.
00:24:02Well, Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium like four or five years ago.
00:24:07What are you doing here?
00:24:08Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:24:12Wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:19He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:21Is this how Vale 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.
00:24:35This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:38Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:24:40Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:47He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:49I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr.
00:24:52Marksman.
00:24:54David Marksman.
00:24:55I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:25:00After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:05His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:07His 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?
00:25:23Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:26He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:25:32Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:34Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:36His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:40President Vail was the one that recruited me. This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:43Please, Adrian. The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:49Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:25:55Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:26:00Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:26:07Well, I've...
00:26:08Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name, and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:16And now, what is it?
00:26:23I'm going to tell you the podcast.
00:26:30I know you're in this podcast.
00:26:35I know you're in this podcast.
00:26:38And I'm going to give you a touch.
00:26:39And I'll get you.
00:26:39And I'll get you too.
00:26:41And I'll get you.
00:26:43I'm going to give you a touch.
00:26:44and 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
00:27:38maybe 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
00:28:06for the sake of your own reputation
00:28:09you need to know that this hack
00:28:10you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence
00:28:15my father confirmed it himself
00:28:17is that precisely what nelson bale told you
00:28:20his exact words
00:28:22negligence surge
00:28:24what are those
00:28:26personal gifts from your father
00:28:30my fellowship offer
00:28:34my personal research lab
00:28:37my surgical team
00:28:38i'm leaving it all behind
00:28:40you can tell president vale that as of this moment
00:28:45dr marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:47from vale hospital
00:28:49and all of its affiliated institutions
00:28:51you know what spare us the theatrics adrian
00:28:54you never deserve those privileges in the first place

00:30:15that accusation isn't just baseness

00:32:45yeah
00:32:46oh
00:32:46sorry
00:32:48who's this
00:32:49nelson vail speaking
00:32:53nelson vail speaking
00:32:53president vail
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 vail 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
00:33:35unless
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
00:33:51fire 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
00:34:17when in reality she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:20so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:23she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:26behind vail 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 this is everything i've worked for thank 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 and absolute
00:35:00i won't let you down
00:35:02darling
00:35:04surgical innovation is the future of veil
00:35:08preston only got his mba last year do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:35:14i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:35:19remember we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:24you mean the surgeon that saved my life
00:35:27dr adrian marksman
00:35:29exactly
00:35:30and all i need to do
00:35:32is stay hands off
00:35:34and let him
00:35:36exercise his extraordinary talents
00:35:39as long as adrian is with
00:35:41veil hospital
00:35:43hart medical center has no chance
00:35:46of competing
00:35:46not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and 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
00:36:04so 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
00:36:23it'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
00:36:39preston vale fired
00:36:40we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:47and i always find the best one
00:36:49i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:59good
00:37:01the faster we rise
00:37:04the more rewarding
00:37:06this partnership becomes
00:37:08this better be good
00:37:21mr bale
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
00:37:42is 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
00:37:54i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:58mr vale
00:37:59you can trust me completely
00:38:01i am precisely the right man for the job
00:38:04preston we have a catastrophe on our hands
00:38:08two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously
00:38:11the department can't possibly maintain its caseload
00:38:13what
00:38:14they both resigned at once what was their explanation
00:38:16they refused to disclose their reasons
00:38:18but there's talk they were recruited by a former vale physician
00:38:21along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:23former physician adrian marksman
00:38:26this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:28president what's our contingency plan the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:33if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer
00:38:36okay everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:38you still have me
00:38:41i can rebuild this department
00:38:43ah yes with 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
00:39:13it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:38this is dr parker here
00:39:44he's a triple board certified surgeon
00:39:46and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:48this is dr rose
00:39:50chen
00:39:51rose
00:39:52and thomas
00:39:53all consummate professionals
00:39:55my most trusted colleagues back at vale
00:39:57with this surgical team
00:40:02heart medical can revolutionize surgical care
00:40:05all across the country
00:40:06actually the whole world
00:40:08we're eager to begin
00:40:10dr hart
00:40:11well
00:40:11welcome to heart medical center
00:40:14i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:40:18but
00:40:19i do need to be transparent
00:40:21we have got considerable ground to cover
00:40:24before we can truly challenge vale hospital's dominance
00:40:27have no fear dr hart
00:40:28with adrian leading our team
00:40:30we'll be three steps ahead of anything vale attempts
00:40:33yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:39yeah about that
00:40:41it's a preliminary version
00:40:43if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:45then what
00:40:46a lot of deaths
00:40:48a lot of lawsuits
00:40:50a lot of patients could be harmed
00:40:52or worse
00:40:53these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:40:57those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training
00:41:01without 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 with the flawed protocols
00:41:17exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:20it's about saving lives
00:41:22we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at vale to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:41:31eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:35even if vale hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:41we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:41:44and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:48rest assured
00:41:49their outcomes will deteriorate
00:41:51i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:54remember this moment
00:41:56in this battle for medical supremacy
00:41:58heart medical center
00:42:00will emerge victorious
00:42:02it's 3 a.m.
00:42:11lost track of time again
00:42:12viv you surprised me
00:42:19looks like you could use a nice rub
00:42:23do you mind
00:42:25no
00:42:26i mean
00:42:29yeah
00:42:30what do you give all your surgeons

00:42:52i never imagined someone like you would like me
00:42:55there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:42:58only you
00:43:00but you were completely oblivious
00:43:04and then you just
00:43:05vanished from the program
00:43:07well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:43:12i know
00:43:13your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:18back then
00:43:20i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:23you know when i established heart medical center
00:43:26my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:29but that manipulative tyrant nelson vale
00:43:33had already secured your contracts
00:43:36with ridiculous incentives
00:43:38i understand now
00:43:40so
00:43:48should we
00:43:50pick up where we left off in residency
00:43:52you're the boss

00:46:00really the best that you can do
00:46:01you are completely
00:46:07worthless as surgeons
00:46:08dr marksman
00:46:09the experimental procedures
00:46:12we're trying to replicate here
00:46:13are extraordinarily intricate
00:46:14we need at least
00:46:15six months to properly master
00:46:17six months
00:46:19you have 72 hours
00:46:21and i expect hourly updates
00:46:23on my desk
00:46:24sir
00:46:24rushing these
00:46:25delicate procedures
00:46:26dramatically increases the possibility
00:46:29of potentially fatal complications
00:46:30three days
00:46:31then you don't get one hour more
00:46:33go
00:46:34go

00:50:23You always this disciplined?
00:50:38Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:43If I was trying to impress you, you'd even know.
00:50:46Midnight meetings.
00:50:49Long hours.
00:50:50This work ethic of yours.
00:50:54It's a little dangerous.
00:50:58That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:51:02Then they fired me.
00:51:05Then they were fools.
00:51:09You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:13You know that, right?
00:51:14Are you trying to motivate me again?
00:51:21I don't try.
00:51:25I do.
00:51:29Well, don't work too late.
00:51:31You're no good to me, Burnt Out.
00:51:45The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:49Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:52Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:57I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.
00:52:00How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:52:04Vail General Hospital is the gold standard, and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:10If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:15Is that clear?
00:52:17Yes, sir.
00:52:18This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:23Go.
00:52:24Mr. Vail, what a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:33Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:36We're on schedule or not?
00:52:37Of course.
00:52:39We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:43Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:45Good.
00:52:47There's a problem, I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:48No cover-ups.
00:52:49Of course, sir.
00:52:50Mr. Vail.
00:52:54Not now.
00:52:55Go 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.
00:53:08When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:15I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:20Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:30This 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.
00:53:41The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:44Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:48Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:51I hope you're right.
00:53:53For your sake.
00:53:57Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:54:02It's not a success.
00:54:05Yet.
00:54:07Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:09Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:15Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:30Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:33That soon?
00:54:34They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:38It's a good thing we're ahead of them.
00:54:43You're saying we're ready?
00:54:45Why would I lie?
00:54:47We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:49Let him celebrate.
00:54:51It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:52How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:56Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:55:01Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:55:02He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:04And?
00:55:05Their model's flawed.
00:55:06If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:11we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:14And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:16Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:20So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:26It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:29They'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.
00:55:36That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:40Which means we've already won.
00:55:43Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:45We should celebrate.
00:55:47What do you have in mind?
00:55:48Drinks?
00:55:49Not quite.
00:55:50You and I are crashing the veil launch party tonight.
00:55:53What?
00:55:55Why?
00:55:56Let me worry about that.
00:55:58In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:56:00Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:56:03And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:05Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:22I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:26Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:34You spent the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:56:38You should be fun.
00:56:47Absolutely.
00:56:48You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vale?
00:56:52Stop it.
00:56:53Too bad you're taken.
00:56:54Yeah.
00:56:55Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:56Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:57Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:57:00Forget about her.
00:57:02She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:04We'll show you a better time.
00:57:09Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:11Let's go.
00:57:11Fiona who?
00:57:15Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:17Let me go.
00:57:33The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:42Please, try again later.
00:57:43Please.
00:57:43It's 20 in one day.
00:58:10All clean.
00:58:11All stable.
00:58:12The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:15You did it.
00:58:17No.
00:58:18We did it.
00:58:21Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vale's launch party pronto.
00:58:25You're already late.
00:58:26I need a change there.
00:58:27You don't have time.
00:58:28Where's Vivian?
00:58:30Taking care of something.
00:58:32She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:36Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vale Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:42What the fuck?
00:58:58You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:01I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:03Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:06So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:10Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:32It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:37Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:41What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:43You weren't invited.
00:59:44You're so sure about that?
00:59:45I mean, look at you.
00:59:46This is a black tie.
00:59:48I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:50Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:55The failed surgeon.
00:59:57The fraud.
00:59:58The nobody.
01:00:00Show up to my party and dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:04Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:07Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:08Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:11Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:14What are you trying to say?
01:00:15I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:24I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:28Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:32A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:35You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:37Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:39When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence,
01:00:43and identity theft.
01:00:46What are you talking about?
01:00:49Identity theft?
01:00:50Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:53Yours?
01:00:54Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:57If you don't got it, at least act like you do.
01:01:00Speaking from experience.
01:01:03Look around you.
01:01:05This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:08The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:10Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs,
01:01:13doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:15Good.
01:01:15I'm glad.
01:01:16Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:19Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:21That's enough.
01:01:22Guards!
01:01:24This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:27Kick him out.
01:01:29Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:30I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:36What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:38Grab him!
01:01:53Preston!
01:01:54What the hell is this?
01:01:56Dad.
01:01:57Relax, I, uh...
01:01:59Relax?
01:02:01This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:03I was just kicking him out.
01:02:03Guards!
01:02:04Remove him immediately.
01:02:05President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:08You get out of my way!
01:02:10Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:11This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:15You are such a fool!
01:02:19Dad.
01:02:20What are you doing?
01:02:22Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:23This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:28You are a...
01:02:30Disgraced!
01:02:32Dad!
01:02:34My hospital meant something and...
01:02:36You turned it into a...
01:02:38Into a...
01:02:39You...
01:02:40Oh!
01:02:41Dad!
01:02:42Dad!
01:02:46Dad!
01:02:49President Vale, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:51Are you out of your mind?
01:02:53He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:55Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:57I'll die before I trust you, too.
01:02:59Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:01David!
01:03:02David!
01:03:03Dude, it's cold!
01:03:04It's cold.
01:03:08Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:11Blanking?
01:03:12Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:13Shut up!
01:03:14Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:17This is ridiculous.
01:03:18I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:20Why are you just standing there?
01:03:22Do something!
01:03:25What's the matter, David?
01:03:26If you need help, just ask.
01:03:29All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:31Right here.
01:03:32Right now.
01:03:34I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:36What if I kill him?
01:03:38I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:41I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:43I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:44David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:49Let it go.
01:03:52I...
01:03:52I...
01:03:53I...
01:03:54I can't.
01:03:57I can't do this.
01:03:59Okay, I can't.
01:04:01I can't do this.
01:04:02I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:06That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:11He stole it from me.
01:04:19Okay, okay.
01:04:22I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:25I can't do this.
01:04:26I can't do this.
01:04:27Okay.
01:04:28Okay.
01:04:29I got it.
01:04:30I got it.
01:04:31Here.
01:04:32Take it.
01:04:33Take it.
01:04:34Okay.
01:04:35All right.
01:04:36Hold his head.
01:04:37Good.
01:04:38Tilt it back.
01:04:39And apply pressure.
01:04:40Here.
01:04:41Okay.
01:04:42Okay.
01:04:43Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:45Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:49Okay.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:51Okay.
01:04:52Okay.
01:04:53Okay.
01:04:54Okay.
01:04:55Okay.
01:04:56Okay.
01:04:57Okay.
01:04:58Okay.
01:04:59Okay.
01:05:00Okay.
01:05:01Okay.
01:05:02Okay.
01:05:03Okay.
01:05:04Okay.
01:05:05Okay.
01:05:06Okay.
01:05:08Oh.
01:05:09Oh.
01:05:10That's my guy.
01:05:11Surgical genius.
01:05:12Oh.
01:05:13That's how Val makes history.
01:05:15Somebody get this man a medal, or at least a new department.
01:05:19If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:22Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:28That maneuver.
01:05:30That notebook.
01:05:31It's mine.
01:05:32Then tell them.
01:05:37Where is he going?
01:05:38Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:43Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:45Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:53That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:57What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:59He's delusional.
01:06:01Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:04The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:07That's mine.
01:06:09My handwriting.
01:06:10My theories.
01:06:12I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:16I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:20And when it fails...
01:06:23And it will.
01:06:25You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:27The patients will.
01:06:28You can't prove that.
01:06:30Not yet.
01:06:32But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:35Medicine and science.
01:06:37Always tell the truth.
01:06:39Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:42We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:44Second patient today.
01:06:45Same issue.
01:06:46Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:49These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:50The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:53I mean, come on.
01:06:55Tonight proves it.
01:06:56We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:58I'll be right back.
01:07:08Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:12Talk to me.
01:07:14The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:17This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:21Use the compression step.
01:07:23That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:26We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:29Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:34I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:37Not mass implementation.
01:07:39Without calibration.
01:07:41It's unstable.
01:07:43It's dangerous.
01:07:44They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:47Now people are paying for it.
01:07:50All good?
01:07:52Of course.
01:07:54Just routine coordination.
01:07:55Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:59Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:01And patients are suffering.
01:08:03You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:04You wouldn't know.
01:08:05Yeah, I would know.
01:08:07Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:10And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:14Oh, shit.
01:08:15Oh, shit.
01:08:21Oh, yes.
01:08:22This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:24Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:27Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:30Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:38No, you need to perform a Marksman modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:53Yes.
01:08:55Yes.
01:08:56How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:09:01His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:04You stole his methods.
01:09:06This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:11Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:12Then prove me wrong.
01:09:14Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:19Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:22He was fired.
01:09:23Humiliated.
01:09:24You're right, I was fired.
01:09:25And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:31Yeah, you know what?
01:09:32This is pathetic.
01:09:33He's just jealous.
01:09:34He missed his shot.
01:09:36Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:38When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:42Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:46I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:54I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:10:03And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:10Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:12You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:18The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:22Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:25Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:28This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:34Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:38Because of his lies.
01:10:41You saved me.
01:10:43You saved Nelson.
01:10:45And now you can save Vale.
01:10:48I tried to warn you all.
01:10:50No one listened.
01:10:51They're listening now.
01:10:53You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:58And probably even more than me.
01:11:00It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:04Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:09They weren't ready.
01:11:10They needed supervision.
01:11:12Precision.
01:11:14Development.
01:11:15Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:19Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:21Security footage.
01:11:26Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:30Already submitted to the board.
01:11:31I built on what he started.
01:11:35Okay.
01:11:37I didn't steal.
01:11:39I enhanced it.
01:11:40Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:43You falsified rollout readiness.
01:11:46He did more than that.
01:11:48He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:52We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:56This is absurd.
01:11:58This was supposed to be our night.
01:12:00Oh, it's your night.
01:12:02It's not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:05You lied to me.
01:12:06I didn't lie.
01:12:07I simplified the truth.
01:12:10Simplify?
01:12:11You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:16You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:19You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:22That's malpractice.
01:12:23They worked.
01:12:25Nelson's alive.
01:12:26Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:28Yeah, because of me.
01:12:30Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:35Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:38Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:12:39I tested them for years.
01:12:42It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:45Not without training.
01:12:47You're rewriting history?
01:12:49No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:51Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:56And without him, it won't.
01:12:58This is absurd!
01:13:00You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:13:03He's not disgraced, son.
01:13:05You are.
01:13:07You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:11And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:18Taking his side, dad?
01:13:20I'm your son.
01:13:21I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:24And so will the board.
01:13:26We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:29Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:33Suspended?
01:13:34No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:35You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:38We understand the liability.
01:13:39That's enough.
01:13:43Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:48Dad, you're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:13:50I'm your son.
01:13:52No, don't you touch me.
01:13:54You're not a child.
01:13:55Dad!
01:13:56I'm your son.
01:13:57I'm your son.
01:13:58I'm your son.
01:13:59I'm your son.
01:14:00I'm your son.
01:14:01Get off me.
01:14:02Get off me.
01:14:03Get off me.
01:14:04Get off me.
01:14:05You're not my responsibility.
01:14:06Adrian, please.
01:14:07I made a mistake.
01:14:08I see that now.
01:14:09I should have believed in you.
01:14:10I should have stood by you.
01:14:11You were right about everything.
01:14:12Just give me a second chance.
01:14:13Please.
01:14:14I still love you.
01:14:15Love?
01:14:16You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:19You don't understand.
01:14:21I thought he was finished.
01:14:23I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:24So you sold him out.
01:14:27Mocked him.
01:14:28You broke him.
01:14:30No, that's not his fault.
01:14:31You failed.
01:14:33You ended him the second someone flashier walked up.
01:14:35You don't understand.
01:14:36I thought he was finished.
01:14:38I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:39You know he had nothing left.
01:14:41New Speaker, I'm your son of debt.
01:14:42You sold him.
01:14:43I mocked him over and over again.
01:14:47I was scared.
01:14:48I didn't know what to do.
01:14:50Oh, you knew.
01:14:51You just didn't care.
01:14:53Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:57Please.
01:14:59Say something.
01:15:02Anything.
01:15:03You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:05And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:13You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:21And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:27The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:32And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:36We're rebuilding.
01:15:37And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:43I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:47You had your chance, too.
01:15:49I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:52Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:56Adrian 2.0.
01:15:57I'm not coming back.
01:16:01You're choosing her?
01:16:03Our rival?
01:16:04You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:06I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:11Just typical.
01:16:13Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:18She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:22Oh, rejecting much, Nelson.
01:16:24Get me out of here.
01:16:27Now!
01:16:32Oh!
01:16:36Oh!
01:16:45Karma has good timing.
01:16:46Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:53We have lives to save.
01:16:54Hey!
01:16:56Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:17:01I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:06Now?
01:17:07Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:19It's not bad.
01:17:21I need a second opinion.
01:17:25Well, I've got all night.
01:17:27And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:32Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:35You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:38But I am very thorough.
01:17:47Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:52Besides meeting you, of course.
