00:00:02A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:00:07patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department. The fate of these accident victims
00:00:12now 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. Well, I can't leave
00:00:29this one. Where's Dr. Stephens? We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:50Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month. Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready
00:00:58for a level one trauma like this? The patient's pressure is dropping. Time to prove yourself,
00:01:02Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours. Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple. Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:16That's insane. Trust me. Met some bomb scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive. Bovey Cotterie. Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time. The bleeding? It's under control. But how did he...
00:01:47...the silk suture? Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:01I've never seen anything like this. Almost done.
00:02:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:24Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible. I thought you were just some rookie
00:02:29surgeon, but that... that was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed. Where did you
00:02:35learn to operate like that? What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait. I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical
00:02:45procedures at Mass General. Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture. Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor. The nurses. They said you did it. And you... you actually did.
00:03:14Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation. Every surgeon on the west coast said it was
00:03:19inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but... you... you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail. Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vail. My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later. Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's gonna take hours. Y'all should go home. Get some rest. I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay. Good work, everyone.
00:04:17good work, everyone.
00:04:21you're all stable every single one of them stabilized

00:17:03I can choose who I want.
00:17:04And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:07You pathetic loser.
00:17:24We're done, Adrian.
00:17:27Ancient history.
00:17:28Are you serious?
00:17:31Just like that.
00:17:32Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:37Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:39Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:41I need someone with a future.
00:17:43Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:53It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:57Oh, look at us, Adrian.
00:18:01I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:18:07Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:10You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:12Perhaps try nursing.
00:18:14I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:17Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:18:20I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:24Get over yourself.
00:18:25You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:28President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:35We're done.
00:18:37I'm not done.
00:18:39But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:45You can count on that.
00:18:49No, no, no.
00:18:49Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:52Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:58Who authorizes you to be here?
00:19:00Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:03we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:19:06and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:09You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:11Ah, yes.
00:19:12The very same.
00:19:13My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:16Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:19These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:24As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:27I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:29Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:34He was sleeping, while the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:39Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:48Dr. Hart.
00:19:51Incredible news.
00:19:52Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:19:56he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:00When?
00:20:01Less than an hour ago.
00:20:02Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:06Oh.
00:20:07Amazing.
00:20:08I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:20:16With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:25Well, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:28Full department autonomy.
00:20:30Research funding.
00:20:32State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:34And if necessary,
00:20:36my personal involvement.
00:20:39His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:43Have my car brought round.
00:20:45I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:48And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:50he's leaving with me.
00:20:57Oh, feasants.
00:20:58What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:01Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:03A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:08Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:09This is crazy.
00:21:10You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:13And when a complication occurs,
00:21:15which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:20you blame me.
00:21:22The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:28If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:21:31you would still have a job.
00:21:33I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:37Security, please detain him.
00:21:44What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:47Either confess to medical malfeasance,
00:21:49or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:21:54Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:21:58What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:01You better confess now,
00:22:02or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:07Fine.
00:22:08Go ahead.
00:22:09Do your worst.
00:22:11Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:16You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:25Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:22:29After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:32Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:35Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:39I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:41As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:46and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:49Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:50Do you know what that means?
00:22:52It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:22:58I have one question before I go.
00:23:01Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:04My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:23:09You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:23:14Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:23:17Immediately.
00:23:18Yes, doctor.
00:23:19Right away, sir.
00:23:22That's quite enough.
00:23:35Let him go.
00:23:38Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:41as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:47I know you.
00:23:49You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:54That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:23:58Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
00:24:03What are you doing here?
00:24:04Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:24:09Wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:14He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:17Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:21Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:24:28Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:42He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:45I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr.
00:24:48Marksman.
00:24:49David Marksman.
00:24:50I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:24:55After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:00His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:03His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:09Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:13Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:18Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:22He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:25:27Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:30Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:32His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:35President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:38This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:39Please, Adrian.
00:25:41The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:45Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:25:50Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:25:55Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:26:02Well, I've...
00:26:03Full department autonomy.
00:26:05Protected research time.
00:26:07A surgical fellowship in your name.
00:26:09And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:16See that?
00:26:37Super dangerous.
00:26:38I'll see you now.
00:26:38Let me stand back.
00:26:39Do you see this?
00:26:40Come home.
00:26:40Gotta see this!
00:26:41Accept this!
00:26:42Newboyretch.
00:26:42Do you see this?
00:26:43and cash. Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:49Hopefully this shows you. I mean what I say.
00:26:59Chief of surgery,
00:27:03you're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:07Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:12This is absurd. He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail and now you're positioning him to lead your entire
00:27:19surgical department?
00:27:22The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:28Vivian, I appreciate your confidence. This isn't about money.
00:27:34Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:39She's offering herself up to him. She can't do that. Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:45At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves,
00:27:51including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value. And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:00Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly
00:28:07pursuing has a documented history of negligence. My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:12Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?
00:28:15His exact words.
00:28:18Negligence, surgeon? What are those?
00:28:23Personal gifts from your father?
00:28:28My fellowship offer? My personal research lab? My surgical team? I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:37You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:43from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:47You know what? Spare us the theatrics, Adrian. You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:53The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:28:56Oh, your stupidity. It's just astonishing.
00:29:01You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:05This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:12Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:17Yeah, look, I'll be real. We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:22Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that. Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number
00:29:27one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:30Look at yourself, Adrian, offering your skills to a struggling clinic. How pathetically desperate.
00:29:37Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his
00:29:44caliber. How dare you talk to me like that! Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage
00:29:50to my hospital's reputation. As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to
00:29:58one of the major medical journals, and with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital
00:30:03patient. Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:10That accusation isn't just baseness. It's absurd. What exactly do you think you're going to do about
00:30:16it? You got no choice but to sign this confession. Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon. If you insist
00:30:22on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:27We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war. If it's war you want,
00:30:35I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:40Let's go. One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
00:30:53Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.
00:31:00David, you've proven your loyalty. The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:06This is extraordinary. Thank you. I am honored beyond words.
00:31:15Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:18Don't worry, babe. You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:24How exciting.
00:31:26Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:32Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed. Six critical patients incoming. Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:31:38Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:40Shit. I'm screwed. Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:31:46If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:50I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself. These techniques are
00:31:58revolutionary. I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:02It's impressive, Dr. Marksman. You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:06No need to bore me with the specifics. I trust your brilliance.
00:32:09Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman. With you leading my surgical team,
00:32:13I can focus on what really matters. Hospital expansion.
00:32:19Dr. Marksman. Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:23Dr. Marksman. Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:30Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:37Glad you're feeling better, honey. Thank you.
00:32:40Yeah. Oh, sorry. Who's this?
00:32:46Nelson Vail speaking. President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:51I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:32:54Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:32:59Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:03Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:06This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:33:10Now, just...
00:33:17Just that conniving bitch plotting.
00:33:20She knows Adrienne is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:24Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has?
00:33:28Absolutely no chance of winning.
00:33:33Unless...
00:33:39Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:40Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:43Dad, relax. I fired the other one. That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:49Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:33:57Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:02There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:06I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance. But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:14So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:17She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:22That'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.
00:34:29Uh, I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:31I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:38Dad, this, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.
00:34:41We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:43We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:51Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:34:54I won't let you down.
00:34:57Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:01Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:04Do 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.
00:35:13Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:18You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:20Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:22Exactly. And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:33As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:40Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:49What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:02So, now that you've seen the surgical department,
00:36:07what do you think?
00:36:09It's not bad.
00:36:10It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:13What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:18It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:22You too.
00:36:23You need to expand.
00:36:25It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:30Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:36:38We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:40And I always find the best one.
00:36:50I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:36:53Good.
00:36:55The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:13This better be good.
00:37:15Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:37:22My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:27Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:33Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:37:35Is there an issue with that?
00:37:36No, absolutely not.
00:37:38The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:37:45If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:51Mr. Vail, 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 resignations simultaneously.
00:38:04The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:06What? They both resigned at once? What was their explanation?
00:38:10They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:11But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician.
00:38:14Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:17Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:22President, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:24The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:26If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:29Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:33You still have me.
00:38:35I can rebuild this department.
00:38:37Ah, yes.
00:38:38With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:42Exactly.
00:38:43So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:45Let him go.
00:38:48I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:38:53Good work, Marksman.
00:38:58This 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.
00:39:29It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:35This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:36He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:39And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:41This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:46All consummate professionals.
00:39:48My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:39:53With this surgical team,
00:39:55Heart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:00Actually, the whole world.
00:40:02We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:04Well, welcome to Heart Medical Center.
00:40:08I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:14We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:40:19Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:21With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:40:26Yes, but Vail 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, then what?
00:40:39A lot of deaths, a lot of lawsuits, a lot of patients could be harmed.
00:40:44Or worse, these 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, and then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the
00:41:09flawed protocols.
00:41:10Exactly. It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:13It's about saving lives.
00:41:17We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques eliminating all
00:41:25the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:28Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:37And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their 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, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:01It's 3am.
00:42:03Lost track of time again.
00:42:10Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:13Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:16Do you mind?
00:42:18No.
00:42:20I mean, yeah.
00:42:23What do you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:26Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:34You really, really like me?
00:42:36Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:40Nothing's changed.
00:42:42You 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.
00:42:51Only you.
00:42:54But you were completely oblivious.
00:42:56And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:00Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:05I know.
00:43:07Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:43:11Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:15You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:22But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:31I understand now.
00:43:40So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:45You're the boss.
00:43:47That's right.
00:43:48And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:52Tonight?
00:43:53You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:43:56Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:06You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:10Come with me.
00:44:13Where?
00:44:15My place.
00:44:23All right.
00:44:25I'll admit it.
00:44:26That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:29Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:31I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:34That just depends on the company.
00:44:36Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:40Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:45Are you sure about that?
00:44:46We already work late hours.
00:44:48Living together could get complicated.
00:44:53Well, I like complicated.
00:44:55Keeps things interesting.
00:44:57And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:01Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:12Plenty of room.
00:45:14If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:19Really?
00:45:22Relax.
00:45:23I'm only teasing.
00:45:25Tonight, at least.
00:45:28Come on.
00:45:31I'll show you your room.
00:45:34Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:37And mine.
00:45:44Things could get dangerous.
00:45:50Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:45:57You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:00Dr. Marksman.
00:46:01The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:06We need at least six months to properly master...
00:46:09Six months?
00:46:11You have 72 hours.
00:46:13And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:15Sir, brushing these delicate procedures
00:46:18dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:22Three days.
00:46:23Then you don't get one hour more.
00:46:25Go.
00:46:26Go.
00:46:30Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:32What's our status?
00:46:34Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:35We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:40That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:42I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:49Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:54Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:56Outstanding.
00:46:57When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:01Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:03Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:06I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:10This is my shot. Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:13With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:17Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators
00:47:25such as yourself. I believe that in the position of chief medical officer,
00:47:30I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:34If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:38Mr. Vale, truly, that's...
00:47:42I am profoundly grateful, sir. Thank you.
00:48:02You're finally awake.
00:48:09You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:12All right.
00:48:13Ooh, breakfast. Looks good. Thank you.
00:48:19When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing. Sound good?
00:48:23Yes. Absolutely.
00:48:26Good.
00:48:27Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:36Extra special.
00:48:45Okay, team. We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:49We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:48:55Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:48:58I have excellent news for all of you. I've just finalized arrangements with the board,
00:49:02and upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded
00:49:09medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:14And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team
00:49:21will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:27At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:43Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:47Vail Hospital won't know what hit him. With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:51Hart is best! Hart is best! Hart is best! Hart is best! Hart is best!
00:50:03Hart is best!
00:50:28Are you always this disciplined, or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:34If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:37Midnight meetings, long hours, this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:50:49That's what Belle used to say about me. Then they fired me.
00:50:57And they were fools.
00:51:00You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:04You know that, right?
00:51:09You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:12I don't try.
00:51:16I do.
00:51:20Well, don't work too late.
00:51:25You're no good to me burnt out.
00:51:35The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:40Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:45Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:47I give you one simple task, and you screw it up!
00:51:51How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:55Vail General Hospital is the gold standard, and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:01If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:06Is that clear?
00:52:07Yes, sir.
00:52:09This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:14Go.
00:52:21Mr. Vale, what a surprise.
00:52:24Cut the bullshit, marksman.
00:52:26Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:28Of course.
00:52:30We're just refining the final stages.
00:52:34Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:36Good.
00:52:37There's a problem.
00:52:38I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:39No cover-ups.
00:52:40Of course, sir.
00:52:44Mr. Vale.
00:52:45Not now.
00:52:46Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:51It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:52:58Don't worry.
00:52:59When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:05I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:15Today, Vale Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:21This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:26especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:31The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:36Relax, Mr. Vale.
00:53:38Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:41I hope you're right.
00:53:43For your sake.
00:53:47Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:53It's not a success.
00:53:55Yet.
00:53:58Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:53:59Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:02it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:17Dr. Hurt, we, um, have a problem.
00:54:21Vale Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:24That soon?
00:54:25They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:30It's a good thing we're ahead of-
00:54:34You're saying we're ready?
00:54:35Why would I lie?
00:54:37We've been tracking Vale's every move.
00:54:40Let him celebrate.
00:54:41It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:42How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:46Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:51Preston Vale's rushing this.
00:54:53He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:55And?
00:54:55Their model's flawed.
00:54:57If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:03we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:05And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:06Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:11So you're saying that Vale Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:16It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:19They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:24They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:27That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:31Which means we've already won.
00:55:34Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:36We should celebrate.
00:55:37What do you have in mind?
00:55:38Drinks?
00:55:39Not quite.
00:55:40You and I are crashing the Vale launch party tonight.
00:55:43What?
00:55:45Why?
00:55:46Let me worry about that.
00:55:48In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:50Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:53And meet me in the lobby at 8pm sharp.
00:56:09Listen, we've been through so much together.
00:56:13I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:18tonight at this launch party
00:56:20celebrating our groundbreaking
00:56:21surgical program
00:56:24just at the perfect moment to ask
00:56:27will you marry me?
00:56:35This should be fun.
00:56:37Absolutely.
00:56:39You really know how to take care
00:56:40of your stuff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:42Stop it.
00:56:43Too bad you're taken.
00:56:44Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:56:46Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:48Told her meet me out here
00:56:49so we can go to this party together.
00:56:51Forget about her.
00:56:52She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:54We'll show you a better time.
00:56:59Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:01Let's go.
00:57:01Fiona who?
00:57:06Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:08Let me go.
00:57:29The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:32Please try again later.
00:57:57It's 20 in one day.
00:58:00All clean, all stable.
00:58:02Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:05You did it.
00:58:07No.
00:58:08We didn't.
00:58:11Dr. Marksman,
00:58:12you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:14You're already late.
00:58:16I need a change there.
00:58:17You don't have time.
00:58:18Where's Vivian?
00:58:20Taking care of something.
00:58:22She said it's really important that you be there
00:58:24and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:28Tonight, we celebrate the launch
00:58:29of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:47What the fuck?
00:58:48You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:50I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:58:56So if you want to keep your job and your status,
00:58:59sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:19Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:22It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:27Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:30What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:32You weren't invited.
00:59:33You so sure about that?
00:59:34I mean, look at you.
00:59:36This is a black tie?
00:59:37I mean, not that I'd expect you to know
00:59:38what that actually is.
00:59:42Look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:45The found surgeon.
00:59:47The fraud.
00:59:48The nobody.
00:59:50Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:53I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
00:59:56Guess I need to fire them, too.
00:59:58Pardon me.
00:59:59I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:01Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:03What are you trying to say?
01:00:05I'm saying that the failed surgeon,
01:00:07the fraud,
01:00:08the nobody,
01:00:10isn't me.
01:00:13I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:18Got some nerve talking to my man, Marksman, like that.
01:00:21A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:24You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:26Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:28When you're all arrested
01:00:29for medical malpractice,
01:00:32criminal negligence,
01:00:33and identity theft.
01:00:36What are you talking about?
01:00:38Identity theft?
01:00:40Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:42Yours?
01:00:43Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:46If you don't got it,
01:00:48just act like you do.
01:00:50Speaking from experience.
01:00:53Look around you.
01:00:55This is the elite among the elite.
01:00:57The best of the best in the medical field.
01:00:59Just because you waltz in here
01:01:01and you're dirty, cheap scrubs,
01:01:02doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:04Good.
01:01:05I'm glad.
01:01:06Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:08Isn't that right,
01:01:09Dr. Marksman?
01:01:11That's enough.
01:01:12Guards!
01:01:13This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:16Kick him out!
01:01:18Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:21I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:25What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:27Grab him!
01:01:42Christy!
01:01:43What the hell is this?
01:01:46Dad, relax.
01:01:48I, uh...
01:01:48Relax?
01:01:50This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:52I was just kicking him out.
01:01:53Guards!
01:01:53Remove him immediately.
01:01:54President Vail,
01:01:55it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:01:57You get out of my way!
01:01:59Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:00This is, this is,
01:02:01this is Dr. Marksman,
01:02:02the genius surgeon that
01:02:03is leading our surgical...
01:02:05You are such a fool!
01:02:08Dad, what are you,
01:02:10what are you doing?
01:02:11Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:13This man that you tried so hard to kick out,
01:02:16he is...
01:02:17Uh, you are a...
01:02:20disgrace!
01:02:21Dad!
01:02:23My hospital meant something
01:02:24and you turned it into a...
01:02:27into a...
01:02:28You...
01:02:30Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:38President Vail.
01:02:39Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:41Are you out of your mind?
01:02:42He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:44Oh, yeah,
01:02:44like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:46I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:48Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:50David!
01:02:51David!
01:02:52Do so.
01:02:53It's cold.
01:02:57Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:00Blanking?
01:03:01Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:02Shut up!
01:03:03Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:06This is ridiculous.
01:03:07I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:10Why are you just standing there?
01:03:11Do something!
01:03:13Uh...
01:03:13What's the matter, David?
01:03:15If you need help,
01:03:16just ask.
01:03:18All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:20Right here,
01:03:21right now.
01:03:22I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:25What if I kill him?
01:03:27I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:30I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:31I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:34David,
01:03:35this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:38Let it go!
01:03:41I...
01:03:41I...
01:03:44I can't.
01:03:45I can't do this.
01:03:48Okay, I can't.
01:03:50I can't do this.
01:03:51I can't do this without my notebook.
01:03:58That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:00He stole it from me.
01:04:08Okay, okay.
01:04:10I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:15I can't do this.
01:04:17Okay.
01:04:18I got it, I got it.
01:04:20Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:22All right, hold his head,
01:04:23but tilt it back
01:04:24and apply pressure
01:04:27here.
01:04:28Okay.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:41Okay.
01:04:42Great.
01:04:43Four.
01:04:49Oh, thank God.
01:04:50How are you doing?
01:04:51Let it out.
01:04:57Oh, that's my guy.
01:04:59Surgical genius.
01:05:02That's how Val makes history.
01:05:04Somebody get this man a medal
01:05:05or at least a new department.
01:05:07If you still want that
01:05:08chief medical officer position,
01:05:10say the word.
01:05:12Now, do I have to have
01:05:13somebody escort you out?
01:05:16That maneuver,
01:05:18that notebook.
01:05:19It's mine.
01:05:20Then tell them.
01:05:25Where is he going?
01:05:26Maybe he's headed to develop
01:05:28another fake surgery program
01:05:29at another fake hospital.
01:05:31Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:34Say, hey, why don't you come back
01:05:35when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:41That procedure David used,
01:05:43I invented it.
01:05:45What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:47He's delusional.
01:05:49Somebody seriously
01:05:50check this guy's medical license.
01:05:52The notebook he used
01:05:53to save your father.
01:05:55That's mine.
01:05:57My handwriting.
01:05:58My theories.
01:06:00You're just pissed
01:06:01because he did
01:06:02what you couldn't.
01:06:03I'm pissed because
01:06:04you used rudimentary theories
01:06:06as innovation.
01:06:07And when it fails,
01:06:10then it will.
01:06:13You're not the ones
01:06:14that'll pay for it.
01:06:15The patients will.
01:06:16You can't prove that.
01:06:18Not yet.
01:06:18But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:22Medicine and science
01:06:24always tell the truth.
01:06:29Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:30We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:32Second patient today.
01:06:33Same issue.
01:06:34Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:36These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:38The veil method
01:06:39doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:41I mean, come on.
01:06:43Tonight proves it.
01:06:44We're ahead of every
01:06:45surgical institute in the country.
01:06:54I'll be right back.
01:06:56Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:00Talk to me.
01:07:02The vascular bundle clamp
01:07:03maneuver failed again.
01:07:04This is the second patient
01:07:05bleeding out tonight.
01:07:09Use the compression step.
01:07:11That only works
01:07:12in controlled scenarios.
01:07:13We told you these procedures
01:07:14weren't fully tested.
01:07:16Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:22I designed those techniques
01:07:23for 101 guidance.
01:07:25Not mass implementation.
01:07:27Without calibration.
01:07:29It's unstable.
01:07:30It's dangerous.
01:07:31They tried to commercialize
01:07:33your success without you.
01:07:35Now people are paying for it.
01:07:37All good?
01:07:39Of course.
01:07:40Just routine coordination.
01:07:42Routine coordination
01:07:44doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:46Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:48And patients are suffering.
01:07:50You've been out of the field
01:07:51for months.
01:07:52You wouldn't know?
01:07:53Yeah, I would know.
01:07:54Because the procedures
01:07:55that you're butchering,
01:07:56I invented.
01:07:57And I'm the only one
01:07:58in this room
01:07:59who can fix the mess
01:08:00that you made
01:08:00in your surgical wing.
01:08:01Oh, shit.
01:08:08Oh, yes.
01:08:09This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:11Yeah, connect me
01:08:12with the surgical coordinator
01:08:13immediately.
01:08:15Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:18Your patient in OR3
01:08:19is experiencing
01:08:20a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:22because the vascular bundle
01:08:23clamp technique
01:08:24was improperly executed.
01:08:26No, you need to perform
01:08:28a Marksman-modified
01:08:29Pringle maneuver
01:08:29with selective
01:08:30hepatic arterial legation
01:08:32followed by
01:08:33a rapid-sequence
01:08:34vascular anatomosis
01:08:36using interrupted
01:08:376-0 proline sutures.
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:43Yes.
01:08:46How do we even know
01:08:47he made a phone call?
01:08:48His whole thing
01:08:49is performance,
01:08:50a charade.
01:08:51You stole his methods.
01:08:52This entire launch party
01:08:55is built upon
01:08:56stolen work
01:08:57and guesswork.
01:08:58Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:00Then prove me wrong.
01:09:01Show them all
01:09:02a technique
01:09:02that I didn't create.
01:09:06Why would we believe
01:09:08anything he says?
01:09:09He was fired.
01:09:10He humiliated.
01:09:11You're right.
01:09:11I was fired.
01:09:12And the same procedures
01:09:14I pioneered
01:09:14were renamed
01:09:15and sold back
01:09:16to the board
01:09:17as 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
01:09:24you told yourself?
01:09:25When you snuck
01:09:26back into my office
01:09:27and stole my
01:09:27surgical journal?
01:09:29Even if that were true,
01:09:30this isn't the time
01:09:31or the place.
01:09:33I think it's
01:09:34exactly the time
01:09:35and place.
01:09:46I just got off the phone
01:09:48with our surgical
01:09:49coordinator
01:09:49and thanks to
01:09:51Adrian's guidance,
01:09:52our surgeons
01:09:53were able to
01:09:54stabilize
01:09:54the coding patients.
01:09:56Adrian just
01:09:58cleaned up
01:09:58your mess.
01:10:00You took
01:10:00this good man's
01:10:01techniques
01:10:02that weren't ready
01:10:03and you fired
01:10:04him.
01:10:05The one person
01:10:06who could make
01:10:07them safe.
01:10:09Dad,
01:10:10you don't see
01:10:11the full picture here.
01:10:12Oh, I'm seeing
01:10:13it perfectly well.
01:10:15This hospital
01:10:16was built on
01:10:16trust
01:10:17and integrity
01:10:18and you've
01:10:19disgraced them both.
01:10:21Your father
01:10:22nearly died
01:10:23because of your
01:10:23ego.
01:10:25Because of his
01:10:26lies.
01:10:28You saved me.
01:10:29You saved Nelson.
01:10:31and now
01:10:32you can save
01:10:33Vale.
01:10:34I tried to warn
01:10:35you all.
01:10:36No one listened.
01:10:37They're listening
01:10:38now.
01:10:39You deserve
01:10:40to be at
01:10:41Vale
01:10:42more than
01:10:43either of
01:10:43those two
01:10:44and probably
01:10:45even more
01:10:46than me.
01:10:47It was a mistake
01:10:48to let you go.
01:10:50Months ago,
01:10:51I was fired
01:10:51from Vale
01:10:52Hospital
01:10:52with procedures
01:10:53still in
01:10:54development.
01:10:55They weren't
01:10:56ready.
01:10:56They needed
01:10:57supervision,
01:10:59precision,
01:11:00development.
01:11:02Instead,
01:11:02someone took
01:11:03my notes
01:11:03and tried
01:11:03to fast-track
01:11:04them for glory.
01:11:05Oh,
01:11:06you can't
01:11:07prove that.
01:11:08Security footage
01:11:12of you
01:11:13stealing
01:11:13Adrian's notebook
01:11:14from the hospital.
01:11:17Already submitted
01:11:18to the board.
01:11:19I built
01:11:20on what he
01:11:21started,
01:11:23okay?
01:11:23I didn't steal.
01:11:25I enhanced it.
01:11:27Then why were
01:11:27patients about
01:11:28to die?
01:11:30You falsified
01:11:31rollout readiness?
01:11:32He did more
01:11:33than that.
01:11:34He put lives
01:11:35at risk
01:11:36to prove
01:11:37that he was
01:11:37smarter than
01:11:38the guy that
01:11:38actually created
01:11:39the program.
01:11:40We're going to
01:11:41need to open
01:11:41a formal
01:11:42investigation on
01:11:43this.
01:11:43This is
01:11:44absurd.
01:11:45This was
01:11:46supposed to
01:11:46be our night.
01:11:47Oh,
01:11:47it's your night.
01:11:49Just not the
01:11:50way you thought
01:11:51it'd be.
01:11:52You lied to me.
01:11:53I didn't lie.
01:11:54I simplified
01:11:55the truth.
01:11:57Simplify?
01:11:58You could have
01:11:58caused serious
01:11:59harm to
01:12:00countless
01:12:01innocent people.
01:12:02You nearly
01:12:03killed the
01:12:03president of
01:12:04the hospital.
01:12:05You passed
01:12:05up experimental
01:12:06procedures as
01:12:07launch ready.
01:12:08That's malpractice.
01:12:10They worked.
01:12:11Nelson's alive.
01:12:12Look,
01:12:13the patients,
01:12:13they're alive.
01:12:14Yeah,
01:12:15because of me.
01:12:16Those methods
01:12:16require sequential
01:12:18tensioning,
01:12:19breath control,
01:12:20special clamp
01:12:20techniques.
01:12:21Getting one beat
01:12:22wrong is the
01:12:22difference between
01:12:23life and death.
01:12:24Wait,
01:12:24these really
01:12:25are your
01:12:25techniques.
01:12:26I tested
01:12:27them for
01:12:27years.
01:12:29It was never
01:12:30meant for
01:12:30mass rollout,
01:12:31not without
01:12:32training.
01:12:33You're rewriting
01:12:34history?
01:12:35No,
01:12:36you tried to
01:12:36erase him
01:12:37from it.
01:12:38Adrian Marksman
01:12:39was the reason
01:12:40that Vale's
01:12:40program had a
01:12:41future,
01:12:42and without
01:12:43him,
01:12:43it won't.
01:12:45This is
01:12:45absurd!
01:12:46You're
01:12:47siding with
01:12:47this disgraced
01:12:48former resident?
01:12:49He's not
01:12:50disgraced,
01:12:51son.
01:12:51You are.
01:12:53You hijacked
01:12:55a program
01:12:55you didn't
01:12:56understand.
01:12:57And then
01:12:57when your
01:12:57ego wasn't
01:12:58enough,
01:13:00you propped
01:13:01up this
01:13:01fraud.
01:13:04Taking
01:13:04his side,
01:13:05dad?
01:13:06I'm your
01:13:07son.
01:13:07I'm taking
01:13:08the side
01:13:08of truth,
01:13:09and so
01:13:10will the
01:13:10board.
01:13:11We will
01:13:11be convening
01:13:12an emergency
01:13:13session tomorrow
01:13:14morning.
01:13:14Until then,
01:13:15both of you
01:13:16are suspended
01:13:16from all
01:13:17surgical and
01:13:18administrative
01:13:18duties.
01:13:19Suspended?
01:13:20You can't
01:13:21do that.
01:13:21You don't
01:13:22understand the
01:13:22politics of
01:13:23running a
01:13:24hospital.
01:13:24We understand
01:13:25the liability.
01:13:26That's enough.
01:13:29Mr.
01:13:29Preston Vale,
01:13:30Dr. David
01:13:31Marksman,
01:13:32come with us.
01:13:34Dad,
01:13:35you're not going to
01:13:36let him drag me
01:13:36out like this.
01:13:37I'm your son.
01:13:38No, don't you
01:13:38touch me.
01:13:39You're not a
01:13:40child.
01:13:41Hey, dad!
01:13:42I built that!
01:13:43You're just getting
01:13:44some son of
01:13:44up!
01:13:45Get off me!
01:13:46Get off me!
01:13:47I'm just getting
01:13:47on over!
01:13:48It's not a
01:13:48child!
01:13:49You're not my
01:13:50responsibility.
01:13:58Trin, please.
01:13:59I made a mistake.
01:14:00I see that now.
01:14:01I should have
01:14:02believed in you.
01:14:03I should have
01:14:03stood by you.
01:14:05You were right
01:14:06about everything.
01:14:10Just give me
01:14:11a second chance.
01:14:12Please!
01:14:14I still love you.
01:14:17Love,
01:14:18you traded him
01:14:19the second someone
01:14:19flashier walked by.
01:14:21You don't understand.
01:14:23I thought he was
01:14:24finished.
01:14:26I thought he had
01:14:27nothing left.
01:14:28So you sold him
01:14:29out.
01:14:29Mocked him.
01:14:31Over and over
01:14:32again.
01:14:33I was scared.
01:14:34I didn't know
01:14:36what to do.
01:14:37Oh, you knew.
01:14:38You just didn't
01:14:38care.
01:14:40Not until you
01:14:41realized that the
01:14:41horse you bet on
01:14:42turned out to be
01:14:43a loser.
01:14:44Please.
01:14:46say something.
01:14:48Anything.
01:14:49You had your
01:14:50chance, Fiona.
01:14:51And you spent it
01:14:52holding Preston's
01:14:53arm while they
01:14:54tried to bury me
01:14:55alive.
01:15:04You always belonged
01:15:05in my operating room
01:15:06and I should have
01:15:07fought harder
01:15:08to keep you
01:15:09if I'd only known
01:15:10what was going on
01:15:11behind the scenes.
01:15:13The board will vote
01:15:14that Preston
01:15:15is removed
01:15:17from the board
01:15:17and David
01:15:18will never go near
01:15:19another patient
01:15:20again.
01:15:21We're rebuilding
01:15:22building and I
01:15:24want you back
01:15:24as Vale's
01:15:26chief of
01:15:27experimental
01:15:28surgery.
01:15:30I'm sorry,
01:15:31Dr. Vale.
01:15:33You had your
01:15:34chance too.
01:15:35I'm not the
01:15:36same man that
01:15:36you fired.
01:15:37Well, all the
01:15:39more reason we
01:15:40need you back
01:15:40at Vale.
01:15:42Adrian 2.0.
01:15:43I'm not coming
01:15:44back.
01:15:47You're choosing
01:15:48her, our rival?
01:15:50You arrogant
01:15:51little ingrate.
01:15:53I open the door
01:15:53for you and you
01:15:54slam it in my
01:15:56face.
01:15:57Just typical.
01:15:59Just when you
01:16:00had your moment,
01:16:01you turned your
01:16:01back on it for,
01:16:03for what, her?
01:16:04She's just going
01:16:05to use you up
01:16:06and toss you aside
01:16:07like everyone else.
01:16:08Oh, projecting
01:16:09much, Nelson.
01:16:11Get me out of here.
01:16:13Now!
01:16:31Karma has good
01:16:32timing.
01:16:35Speaking of
01:16:36timing, we should
01:16:37get back to work.
01:16:38We have lives to
01:16:40save.
01:16:40Hey, not so
01:16:42fast, mister.
01:16:43Hotshot genius
01:16:45surgeon.
01:16:46I still owe you
01:16:48that extra
01:16:49special bonus.
01:16:52Now?
01:16:53Well, it's been a
01:16:53time like the
01:16:54present.
01:17:02This is what
01:17:03victory tastes
01:17:04like.
01:17:05It's not bad.
01:17:07I need a second
01:17:08opinion.
01:17:08idea.
01:17:11Well, I've got all
01:17:12night.
01:17:12And you're not
01:17:13leaving this room
01:17:14until I've properly
01:17:15celebrated my genius
01:17:17surgeon.
01:17:18Should I be afraid
01:17:19of a performance
01:17:20review?
01:17:21You're already
01:17:22exceeding expectations.
01:17:24But I am very
01:17:26thorough.
01:17:33getting fired was
01:17:34the best thing
01:17:35that ever
01:17:35happened to me.
01:17:38Besides
01:17:39meeting you,
01:17:39of course.
01:17:39things that
01:17:52mess cannot
01:18:00I'm not
01:18:00sure of
01:18:00anything else.
