Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A 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
00:00:13now 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. Well,
00:00:29I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens? We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:50Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month. Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't
00:00:58ready for a level one trauma like this? The patient's pressure is dropping. Time to prove yourself,
00:01:02Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple. Whipple? For trauma? That's insane. Trust me.
00:01:17medicine bomb scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here. That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey cautery. Watch.
00:01:33He's doing it in half the normal time. The bleeding. It's under control. But how did he...
00:01:48Silk suture.
00:01:54Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this. Almost done.
00:02:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:16Jesus, 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 learn
00:02:35to operate like that? What you just did will go down in the history books. Wait. I heard President
00:02:41Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General. Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture. Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor!
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.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the west coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:22you... you saved my Catherine. She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vail. My hospital.
00:03:33Look, I'll explain later. Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours. Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here. Okay. Good work, everyone.
00:04:01You're all stable. Every single one of them. Stabilized.
00:04:15You're all stable. Every single one of them. Stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming up. You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:35Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks. All right. It's time for some much-needed Shad-Eye.
00:04:53Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night.
00:05:05I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:08What I did was extraordinary.
00:05:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:15Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:25Blueberry. Your favorite.
00:05:27You remembered.
00:05:28Where's your dad?
00:05:30You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:36I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:41It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:56His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure. I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:00I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:11What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:23Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:32who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons?
00:06:41Or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about last-
00:06:47Save it.
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:50You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:55Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:04Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:07:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:14No complications, no deaths.
00:07:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:20Who does he think he is, Dr. House?
00:07:25What is this?
00:07:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:32This is a hospital.
00:07:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:40That was from my residency direction.
00:07:42Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:07:47and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:51You're fired.
00:07:52Excuse me?
00:07:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:07:55just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:07:59Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:03That was good. Let's go.
00:08:05Well, well, well.
00:08:11What do we have here?
00:08:13Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:16Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:22Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:24No, you didn't.
00:08:26But here's one anyway.
00:08:27You are fired.
00:08:32Are you serious?
00:08:33You're firing me?
00:08:35Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:38Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:41Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:43He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:49What's he make?
00:08:50700,000.
00:08:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:54700?
00:08:56Are you insane?
00:08:57You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:00This hospital is being scammed!
00:09:03I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:05I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:06Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:09Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:13What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:15Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:25My career comes first.
00:09:27Boy, bye.
00:09:29There must be some clerical error.
00:09:31These credentials.
00:09:33Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:35Fiona?
00:09:36Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:46Clear out your office, clear out your locker, and get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:51This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:54You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:55You don't get to wear that.
00:10:03I see.
00:10:04Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:09You don't understand.
00:10:10He's the one who-
00:10:11Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:13Beat it.
00:10:14Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:37I understand.
00:10:38Hospital politics.
00:10:40I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:47I'll be waiting.
00:10:56You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:04The board won't like this.
00:11:05Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:08Patient care will suffer.
00:11:10Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:12I intend to wield it.
00:11:14Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:18Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:20No, Preston.
00:11:22He means nothing to me.
00:11:23Really.
00:11:24I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:26Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:29Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:34Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:38The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:44Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:48The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:56Hey, Dad.
00:11:57What's wrong?
00:11:58Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:00She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:05And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:08Of course.
00:12:08What is it?
00:12:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman.
00:12:12Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:15Dr. Marksman?
00:12:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:19Get out of my hospital.
00:12:21Christ, the resident I just fired?
00:12:25Preston?
00:12:26Are you there?
00:12:28Check the staff roster.
00:12:29Um, see if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:12:35I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:38He's the surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:40And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:44The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:53Ah, yes, I see now.
00:12:54There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:58Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:01Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:05Three times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:08Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:09That's our man.
00:13:10There's another surgeon with the same last name
00:13:12who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:15Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:17Do me a favor, fire him.
00:13:20Already done, Dad.
00:13:21I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:24Thank God.
00:13:25Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:28Good work, son.
00:13:30I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:33Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:35I got everything else under control.
00:13:44See?
00:13:45Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:48Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:52Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:54Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:55Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:56The six-car pileup.
00:13:57You fired half our surgery team.
00:13:59What's your point?
00:14:00ER is crashing.
00:14:02We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:09Give me the situation.
00:14:10Now.
00:14:12Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:15Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:18We're losing patients.
00:14:20What are our options?
00:14:21There might be one solution.
00:14:23Well, spit it out.
00:14:24Dr. Marksman.
00:14:26He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:28If we can get him back here.
00:14:30Marksman.
00:14:31Right.
00:14:31That's the man we need.
00:14:32Fiona, call him.
00:14:33Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:36The genius surgeon.
00:14:37The one I didn't fire.
00:14:38Keep up.
00:14:43What the hell?
00:14:45Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:49Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:06Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:08Wait.
00:15:10These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:15Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:20Hello?
00:15:21Dr. Marksman.
00:15:22Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:25Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:27there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:30I'm on my way.
00:15:34With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:38They'll make me department head.
00:15:40And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:42Well?
00:15:49Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:51Thank God.
00:16:02Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:05Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:07I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:10You're my future.
00:16:11That's my girl.
00:16:20Beyond the shift ended an hour ago,
00:16:22the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:26To hell with this.

00:20:45mr veil i've identified who's responsible for all the issues in or three today
00:20:50he was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table clear-cut medical malfeasance
00:20:57dr hart
00:21:06incredible news dr adrian marksman that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking he's just been
00:21:14terminated from veil hospital when less than an hour ago dismissed by president veil's son
00:21:21oh amazing i'd pay to see nelson veil's face when he discovers that his prize surgeon
00:21:30was fired by his submental son with uh respect we're still establishing our reputation

00:22:25denying it this is crazy you've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon and when a complication
00:22:31occurs which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership you blame me
00:22:38the collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad
00:22:43if you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be you would still have a job
00:22:48i'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of mr veil security please detain him
00:23:01what exactly are you accusing me of either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to the
00:23:08police for criminal negligence adrian i never realized you were capable of endangering patients
00:23:14what other medical atrocities have you committed you better confess now or we'll do everything in your
00:23:20power to make sure you lose your medical license
00:23:22come on go ahead do your worst let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of
00:23:30the medical board you really underestimate my family's influence don't you don't you realize
00:23:38that mr veil here can end your entire career with one phone call sir i strongly recommend that we make
00:23:44an example out of him after all he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes priston you can't let
00:23:50him walk away after this not after what he did to our patients i'm contacting the medical board
00:23:57right now as of this moment dr adrian marksman is blacklisted from veil hospital and every medical
00:24:03institute in the country plans in motion adrian do you know what that means it means that you will
00:24:10never practice medicine in this country again i have one question before i go does your father know
00:24:19you fired me my father's the one who asked me to fire you you dipshit
00:24:23you thought you were some brilliant surgical god didn't you security remove this criminal from
00:24:32hospital property immediately immediately yes doctor right away sir
00:24:36that's quite enough
00:24:40let him go dr marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation
00:25:00at heart medical center i know you you're vivian heart the surgical upstart from that medical
00:25:08clinic across town that's dr vivian heart to you mr veil vivian i haven't seen you since the john
00:25:16hopkins symposium like i haven't seen you since the john hopkins symposium like four or five years ago
00:25:22what are you doing here four or five years ago what are you doing here well i'm here for the most
00:25:28innovative surgeon in the country of course wait are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor
00:25:35has value he was sleeping during rounds is this how veil hospital discards its exceptional talent
00:25:42your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence not petty politics
00:25:49dr hart with all due respect this is a conversation between medical directors
00:25:55someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence
00:25:59dr hart i must inform you that dr marksman represents a serious liability
00:26:04he compromised patient safety and i don't believe i requested your medical opinion
00:26:09dr marksman david marksman i have neither time nor interest in your assessment
00:26:16after he decided to go to sleep we had a critical surgical complication
00:26:22his negligence led to the problem his actions not only endangered patients it compromised my hospital's
00:26:29reputation are you really willing to defend someone who violates the hippocratic oath did you
00:26:36actually consult with your father before dismissing dr marksman of course i consulted my father
00:26:42he's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:26:47and inflated reputation dangerous shortcuts is that what president veil really said his exact words were
00:26:55remove him at first opportunity president veil was the one that recruited me this makes absolutely no sense
00:27:01please adrian the president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you
00:27:07those gala invitations were professional courtesy
00:27:10not genuine respect well if that's the way things work at veil i have nothing more to contribute
00:27:16to any of you dr marksman would you consider joining heart medical center as our chief of surgery
00:27:22well i've full department autonomy protected research time a surgical fellowship in your name
00:27:31and a seven-figure salary package
00:27:45so
00:28:01and cash dr marksman i want you to revolutionize our surgery program hopefully this shows you
00:28:14i mean what i say
00:28:21chief of surgery
00:28:25you're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job
00:28:30dr hart have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs
00:28:34this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at veil
00:28:39and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:28:45medical board should review your hiring practices
00:28:49vivian i appreciate your confidence this isn't about money
00:28:55maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you she's offering
00:29:02herself up to him she can't do that are you a doctor or a call girl at heart medical center you will
00:29:09be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves including a boss that would do absolutely
00:29:15anything to recognize your value and i do mean anything dr marksman
00:29:21dr hart for the sake of your own reputation you you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly
00:29:27pursuing has a documented history of negligence my father confirmed it himself is that precisely
00:29:35what nelson bale told you his exact words negligence search what are those
00:29:44personal gifts from your father
00:29:49my fellowship offer my personal research lab my surgical team i'm leaving it all behind

00:30:04from veil hospital and all of its affiliated institutions you know what spare us the theatrics adrian
00:30:10you never deserve those privileges in the first place the medical board is going to see that justice is
00:30:16done oh your stupidity it's just astonishing you treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels
00:30:26this man is a life-saving artist
00:30:33dr hart i understand there's some competition between your center and veil hospital
00:30:38yeah look i'll be real we're struggling to get out from under their shadow
00:30:43i'd be happy to help you out with that take me on and i'll transform heart into the number one
00:30:48surgical institution in the country
00:30:52look at yourself adrian offering your skills to a struggling clinic how pathetically desperate
00:30:59oh a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber
00:31:06how dare you talk to me like that your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage
00:31:13to my hospital's reputation as the responsible party i demand that you issue a formal apology to
00:31:19one of the major medical journals and with an explanation to every affected veil hospital patient
00:31:27refuse me and i will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently that accusation
00:31:33isn't just baseness it's absurd what exactly do you think you're gonna do about it
00:31:39you've got no choice but to sign this confession oh stop threatening my chief surgeon if you insist
00:31:44on pursuing this vendetta have your attorney send a formal complaint to heart medical center
00:31:49we'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war if it's war you want
00:31:57i will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that i've got

00:34:05nelson vale speaking president vale dr vivian hart here i am calling to let you know that as of this
00:34:16morning hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena revolutionary surgical
00:34:22procedures are vale hospital's domain are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:34:29this is merely a professional courtesy call not an invitation for debate now just
00:34:39just that conniving bitch plotting she knows adrian is our surgical secret weapon why would she
00:34:47deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning unless
00:34:58a medical force in the country and she is super
00:35:04so she doesn't want to believe her in the past but she doesn't want to know that she needs to have
00:35:07seen her together and i'm back in definition for her skin that she's exactly she is
00:35:10but she's for her friend the most out of this environment and she's not even okay
00:35:12be there that she's one of those most out of this world
00:35:15right now here are you going to be with me and what's happening to this world
00:35:17do you think that i can't believe anything you're not so that i love everything you're
00:35:19doing my the most out of this world that i know if we're seeing that the world
00:35:22that i love everything you make together in this world
00:35:23what do we know all those things that are people that i know
00:35:25way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures. I convinced Vivi that she's acquired
00:35:31surgical brilliance, but in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser. So you deliberately
00:35:38manipulated Vivian? She thinks she's hired the genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking
00:35:44procedures. That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you. Impressive, son. You're finally
00:35:50showing some of the leadership qualities. I've been waiting to see out of you. I think you're
00:35:54ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division. Dad, this is everything
00:36:02I've worked for. Thank you. We'll get to work immediately. We're going to expose Hart Medical
00:36:08Center for the low-grade institution it truly is. Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:36:17I will let you down. Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail. Preston's
00:36:24only got his MBA last year. Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious
00:36:30program? I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset. Remember, we have
00:36:37the ultimate surgical secret weapon. You mean the surgeon that saved my life? Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:36:45Exactly. And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:36:55As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:37:03Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:37:11What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:37:25So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:37:32It's not bad. It's a small team, but they're talented. What you've built here, it's impressive,
00:37:38Viv. It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:37:44You too.
00:37:46We need to expand. It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:37:51So,
00:37:52I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:38:01We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:38:03And I always find the best one.
00:38:04I'm going to start recruiting.
00:38:16Good.
00:38:18The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:38:34This better be good.
00:38:38Mr. Vail,
00:38:40you wanted to see me?
00:38:45My father
00:38:46has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:38:51Given your new position as chief of surgery,
00:38:54I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:38:56Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:38:58Is there an issue with that?
00:38:59No, absolutely not.
00:39:02The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:39:05And President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:39:08If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:39:15Mr. Vail,
00:39:15you can trust me completely.
00:39:18I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:39:20Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:39:25Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:39:27The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:39:30What?
00:39:30They both resigned at once?
00:39:32What was their explanation?
00:39:33They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:39:35But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician.
00:39:38Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:39:40Former physician Adrian Marksman.
00:39:42This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:39:45Preston,
00:39:45What's our contingency plan?
00:39:47The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:39:49If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:39:52Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:39:56You still have me.
00:39:58I can rebuild this department.
00:40:00Ah, yes.
00:40:01With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:40:05Exactly.
00:40:06So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:40:09Let him go.
00:40:09I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:40:16Good work, Marksman.
00:40:21This is working out perfectly.
00:40:23Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:40:26Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:40:29It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:40:54This is Dr. Parker here.
00:41:00He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:41:02And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:41:05This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:41:09All consummate professionals.
00:41:12My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:41:13With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:41:23Actually, the whole world.
00:41:25We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:41:27Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:41:31I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:41:37We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:41:43Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:41:45With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:41:50Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:41:56Yeah, about that.
00:41:58It's a preliminary version.
00:41:59If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:42:02Then what?
00:42:03A lot of deaths, a lot of lawsuits, a lot of patients could be harmed, or worse.
00:42:09These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:42:14Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation.
00:42:20We're talking about serious complications, preventable harm.
00:42:24Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:42:27We need to perfect these procedures,
00:42:28and then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:42:34Exactly.
00:42:35It's not about competition or pride.
00:42:37It's about saving lives.
00:42:41We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques,
00:42:48eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:42:51Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:42:57we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:43:01And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols,
00:43:04rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:43:08I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:43:11Remember this moment.
00:43:13In this battle for medical supremacy,
00:43:15Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:43:17It's 3 a.m.
00:43:26I lost track of time again.
00:43:34Viv, you surprised me.
00:43:37Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:43:40Do you mind?
00:43:42No.
00:43:44I mean, yeah.
00:43:46Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:43:50Only the ones I really, really like.
00:43:58You really, really like me?
00:44:00Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:44:04Nothing's changed.
00:44:06You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:44:10I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:44:12There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:44:14Only you.
00:44:18But you were completely oblivious.
00:44:21And then you just vanished from the program.
00:44:24Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:44:29I know.
00:44:32Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:44:35Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:44:39You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:44:46But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:44:54I understand now.
00:44:56So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:45:09You're the boss.
00:45:11That's right.
00:45:11And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:45:17Tonight?
00:45:18You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:45:21Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:45:30You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:45:34Come with me.
00:45:37Where?
00:45:38My place.
00:45:44Hmm.
00:45:48All right.
00:45:49I'll admit it.
00:45:51That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:45:53Hmm.
00:45:54Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:45:55I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:45:58That just depends on the company.
00:46:00Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:46:05Until the program's fully established.
00:46:07It should just make sense.
00:46:09Are you sure about that?
00:46:10We already work late hours.
00:46:13Living together could get complicated.
00:46:17Well, I like complicated.
00:46:20Keeps things interesting.
00:46:22And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:46:25Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:46:36Plenty of room.
00:46:39If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:46:44Really?
00:46:46Relax.
00:46:47I'm only teasing.
00:46:50Tonight.
00:46:50At least.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:55I'll show you your room.
00:46:59Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:47:02And mine.
00:47:02Things could get dangerous.
00:47:15Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:47:18You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:47:25Dr. Marksman.
00:47:26The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:47:31We need at least six months to properly master.
00:47:34Six months?
00:47:36You have 72 hours.
00:47:37And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:47:40Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:47:47Three days.
00:47:48Then you don't get one hour more.
00:47:50Go.
00:47:51Go.
00:47:55Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:57What's our status?
00:47:58Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:48:00We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:48:05That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:48:06I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:48:10Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:48:18Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:48:20Outstanding.
00:48:21When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:48:26Your father must be so proud of you.
00:48:28Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:48:30I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:48:35This is my shot.
00:48:36Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:48:37With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vail Hospital.
00:48:42Mr. Vail, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators
00:48:50such as yourself.
00:48:51I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively
00:48:57throughout the entire hospital.
00:48:59If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:49:03Truly, that's...
00:49:05I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:49:10You're finally awake.
00:49:34You can keep appreciating the view while you meet.
00:49:36All right.
00:49:38Ooh, breakfast.
00:49:39Looks good.
00:49:44When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:49:47Sound good?
00:49:48Yes.
00:49:50Absolutely.
00:49:51Good.
00:49:53Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:49:58Extra special.
00:50:10Okay, team.
00:50:11We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:50:14We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:50:21Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:50:23I have excellent news for all of you.
00:50:25I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations,
00:50:32each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:50:38And when the time comes that our procedures, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:50:50At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:51:01Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:51:09Absolutely.
00:51:10You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:51:12Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:51:14With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:51:17Heart is best!
00:51:18Heart is best!
00:51:19Heart is best!
00:51:21Heart is best!
00:51:22Heart is best!

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