00:00:00The patient's crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!

00:00:02The patient won't survive.

00:00:04Watch.

00:00:05Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level of trauma like this?

00:00:09This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:00:11What you just did will go down in the history box.

00:00:14Who is this guy?

00:00:15He's taking over as hospital administrator.

00:00:17New management, new standards.

00:00:19Sleeping after a shift?

00:00:20You are fired.

00:00:21I just worked all night.

00:00:23Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.

00:00:25He's the one.

00:00:26Didn't I fire you too already?

00:00:28Get your hand off my gun arm.

00:00:31We're done, Adrian.

00:00:32I need someone with a future.

00:00:34Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:00:39This isn't about money.

00:00:40Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?

00:00:45These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:00:47With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.

00:00:50Why is that?

00:00:51Oh.

00:00:52Why are you just standing there?

00:00:53Do something!

00:00:54If you need help, just ask.

00:00:55All you have to do is know what you did.

00:00:58A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured

00:01:07patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.

00:01:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their

00:01:16last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.

00:01:20Facials crashing!

00:01:21We need an attending surgeon now!

00:01:23All the hours are full.

00:01:24We've got three more criticals incoming.

00:01:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.

00:01:29I can't leave this one.

00:01:30Where's Dr. Stevens?

00:01:31We need another attending surgeon.

00:01:32Everyone else is in the U.R.

00:01:34Need a hand?

00:01:35A new hire.

00:01:36You just started this month.

00:01:41Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!

00:01:47The patient's pressure is dropping.

00:01:48Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.

00:01:49The patient's yours.

00:01:50Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.

00:01:51Whipple?

00:01:52For trauma?

00:01:53That's insane!

00:01:54Trust me.

00:01:56Medicine bomb scissors.

00:01:58He isn't ready for a level one trauma like this.

00:02:00Patient's pressure is dropping.

00:02:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.

00:02:03Patient's yours.

00:02:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.

00:02:14Whipple? For trauma?

00:02:16That's insane.

00:02:17Trust me.

00:02:19Metzenbaum scissors.

00:02:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.

00:02:26That procedure will take hours.

00:02:28The patient won't survive.

00:02:30Bobby Cottery.

00:02:33Watch.

00:02:39He's doing it in half the normal time.

00:02:42The bleeding? It's under control.

00:02:45But how did he...

00:02:48Silk suture.

00:02:54Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.

00:02:58I've never seen anything like this.

00:03:04Almost done.

00:03:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:03:16Jesus, Adrian.

00:03:25What you just pulled off is impossible.

00:03:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...

00:03:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.

00:03:34Where did you learn to operate like that?

00:03:36What you just did will go down in the history books.

00:03:39Wait.

00:03:39I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.

00:03:47Is that you?

00:03:47Final suture.

00:03:55Final suture.

00:03:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.

00:04:00Doctor.

00:04:06The nurses...

00:04:07They said you did it.

00:04:09And you...

00:04:10You actually did.

00:04:12Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.

00:04:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...

00:04:22You...

00:04:23You saved my Catherine.

00:04:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.

00:04:28Name your price, whatever it is.

00:04:30We need you at Vail.

00:04:31My hospital.

00:04:32Look, I'll explain later.

00:04:36Right now, we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.

00:04:40It's gonna take hours.

00:04:42Y'all should go home.

00:04:43Get some rest.

00:04:45I'll take over from here.

00:04:47Okay.

00:04:49Good work, everyone.

00:05:02They're all stable.

00:05:23Every single one of them.

00:05:24Stabilized.

00:05:29Oh, the sun's coming up.

00:05:32You must have operated all night.

00:05:34You're a machine.

00:05:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:39All right.

00:05:40It's time for some much-needed shut-eye.

00:05:57Hey, you.

00:05:58Hey, yourself.

00:06:04I've been operating all night.

00:06:07I see every single patient in that pileup.

00:06:10What I did was extraordinary.

00:06:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?

00:06:16Because I know you.

00:06:18Better than anyone.

00:06:19Goldberg.

00:06:26Goldberg.

00:06:26Your favorite?

00:06:28You remembered.

00:06:30Where's your dad?

00:06:31You know, I've been thinking lately.

00:06:33About us.

00:06:36I know it's only been a month, but...

00:06:40It just feels different.

00:06:41It's the third time this week.

00:06:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.

00:06:53Hmm.

00:06:55So who's this Marksman guy?

00:06:57His surgical skills are unreal.

00:06:58Sure, I thought he was just another new hire.

00:07:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.

00:07:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.

00:07:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?

00:07:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.

00:07:23Who is this guy?

00:07:26Preston Vail, President Vail's son, Harvard MBA.

00:07:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife

00:07:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatico-duodenectomy.

00:07:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?

00:07:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.

00:07:46Sir, about last...

00:07:47Save it!

00:07:49Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.

00:07:54You're fired.

00:07:56Clear out your office.

00:07:57New management means new standards.

00:08:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.

00:08:03Attention in everybody's attention now.

00:08:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,

00:08:12every surgery must be perfect.

00:08:15No complications, no deaths.

00:08:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.

00:08:22Who does he think he is?

00:08:23Dr. House?

00:08:25What is this?

00:08:28Excellence in emergency medicine?

00:08:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.

00:08:34This is a hospital.

00:08:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.

00:08:41That was from my residency direction.

00:08:43Oh, cry me a river.

00:08:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients

00:08:47and a little less time collecting gold stars,

00:08:50you'd be a real doctor.

00:08:51You're fired.

00:08:52Excuse me?

00:08:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop

00:08:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.

00:08:59Yes, sir.

00:09:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?

00:09:04That was good.

00:09:05Let's go.

00:09:10Well, well, well.

00:09:12What do we have here?

00:09:14Sleeping after a shift?

00:09:17Rise and shine, superstar.

00:09:18Did I order a wake-up call?

00:09:25No, you didn't.

00:09:26But here's one anyway.

00:09:28You are fired.

00:09:32Are you serious?

00:09:34You're firing me?

00:09:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?

00:09:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.

00:09:42Fiona, what's his position here?

00:09:43He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.

00:09:49What's he make?

00:09:51$700,000.

00:09:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.

00:09:55$700?

00:09:56Are you insane?

00:09:58You're giving resident money to a first-year

00:09:59who sleeps on the job?

00:10:01This hospital is being scammed.

00:10:03I just worked all night, okay?

00:10:05I'm just taking a nap.

00:10:06Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?

00:10:10Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.

00:10:13What were you thinking hiring this fraud?

00:10:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons,

00:10:18or this is some sort of insurance scam.

00:10:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together,

00:10:23but I can't let him drag me down.

00:10:25My career comes first.

00:10:27Boy, bye.

00:10:29There must be some clerical error.

00:10:32His credentials.

00:10:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.

00:10:37Fiona.

00:10:37Dr. Marksman,

00:10:41you are F-I-R-E-D fired.

00:10:47Clear out your office.

00:10:49Clear out your locker.

00:10:50Or get the hell out of my hospital.

00:10:53This is a mistake, okay?

00:10:54You need to check the surgical lock.

00:10:56Oh, you don't get to wear that.

00:10:57What?

00:10:57I see.

00:11:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.

00:11:10You don't understand.

00:11:11He's the one who...

00:11:12Didn't I fire you two already?

00:11:14Beat it.

00:11:15Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?

00:11:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.

00:11:19I understand.

00:11:39Hospital politics.

00:11:41I know it's only been a month,

00:11:43but there is something real between us.

00:11:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.

00:11:48I'll be waiting.

00:11:49You care to explain that little exchange?

00:12:04If the board won't like this,

00:12:06four attendings dismissed in one day,

00:12:08patient care will suffer.

00:12:10Fear is a weapon, Fiona.

00:12:12I intend to wield it.

00:12:14Or perhaps you're more concerned

00:12:16with one surgeon in particular,

00:12:18your little scam artist situation-ship.

00:12:21No, Preston.

00:12:22He means nothing to me.

00:12:24Really.

00:12:25I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.

00:12:27Let's be clear about your future here.

00:12:29Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks or the man who signs everyone's paychecks,

00:12:38including yours?

00:12:40The man who signs everyone's paychecks.

00:12:43Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.

00:12:57Hey, Dad.

00:12:58What's wrong?

00:12:59Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.

00:13:01She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.

00:13:05And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.

00:13:09Of course.

00:13:09What is it?

00:13:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.

00:13:16Dr. Marksman?

00:13:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.

00:13:20Get out of my hospital.

00:13:22Christ.

00:13:23The resident I just fired?

00:13:26Preston?

00:13:27Are you there?

00:13:28Check the staff roster.

00:13:31See if we have another marksman working for us here.

00:13:35I had to back up the Briggs truck to get him here.

00:13:39He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.

00:13:45The hospital's reputation rests on his work.

00:13:48Ah, yes, I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.

00:13:58Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.

00:14:03Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.

00:14:07Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.

00:14:09Is this who you mean, Dad?

00:14:10That's our man.

00:14:11There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.

00:14:16Negligent, lazy, you name it.

00:14:17Do me a favor.

00:14:19Fire him.

00:14:21Already done, Dad.

00:14:22I fired his slacker ass this morning.

00:14:25Thank God.

00:14:26Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.

00:14:29Good work, son.

00:14:31I'll visit when your mother's stronger.

00:14:34Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?

00:14:36I got everything else under control.

00:14:44See?

00:14:45I told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.

00:14:49Now, about your career trajectory.

00:14:53Mr. Vale, sir.

00:14:54Can't you see I'm busy?

00:14:56Multiple traumas incoming.

00:14:58The six-car pileup.

00:14:59You fired half our surgery team.

00:15:00What's your point?

00:15:01ER is crashing.

00:15:03We've no one left who can handle it.

00:15:04Give me the situation.

00:15:12Now.

00:15:13Six critical traumas, three more incoming.

00:15:16Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.

00:15:19We're losing patients.

00:15:21What are our options?

00:15:22There might be one solution.

00:15:24Well, spit it out.

00:15:26Dr. Marksman.

00:15:27He handled four critical traumas alone last night.

00:15:29If we can get him back here.

00:15:31Marksman.

00:15:32Right.

00:15:32That's the man we need.

00:15:33Fiona, call him.

00:15:34Which Dr. Marksman should I?

00:15:37The genius surgeon.

00:15:38The one I didn't fire.

00:15:39Keep up.

00:15:44What the hell?

00:15:46Where'd all this stuff go?

00:15:47The idiot left us research notes.

00:16:06Mmm.

00:16:07Modified trauma protocol.

00:16:10Wait.

00:16:11These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:16:13Oh, this is brilliant work.

00:16:21Hello?

00:16:22Dr. Marksman?

00:16:24Multiple critical traumas in the ER.

00:16:26Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,

00:16:28there's a monster promotion waiting.

00:16:31I'm on my way.

00:16:35With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.

00:16:39They'll make me department head.

00:16:41And I can finally make seven figures.

00:16:49Well?

00:16:50Dr. Marksman's on his way.

00:16:52Thank God.

00:17:02Now, about your loyalty.

00:17:06Adrian meant nothing.

00:17:07I was using him to advance my career.

00:17:11You're my future.

00:17:13That's my girl.

00:17:21Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,

00:17:24the boss's son is up to something.

00:17:27To hell with this.

00:17:28I'm going up.

00:17:29Piece of shit.

00:17:48Get your hand on my girl.

00:17:52Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.

00:17:54You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon

00:17:56can't see what's been happening under his own nose?

00:17:59You mean to tell me that you've been messing around

00:18:01with this incompetent nepo baby?

00:18:03I can choose who I want.

00:18:05And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.

00:18:07You pathetic loser.

00:18:09We're done, Adrian.

00:18:27Ancient history.

00:18:28Are you serious?

00:18:31Just like that.

00:18:32Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, Stan.

00:18:38Why are you doing this, Fiona?

00:18:39Am I just a stepping stone to you?

00:18:41I need someone with a future.

00:18:43Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.

00:18:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.

00:18:53It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.

00:18:55Look at us, Adrian.

00:19:02I'm the future of Vail Hospital.

00:19:04And you?

00:19:08Just a slacker.

00:19:09And scrubs.

00:19:11You're washed up, marksman.

00:19:12Perhaps try nursing?

00:19:14I hear they're always hiring.

00:19:17Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.

00:19:20I thought we could build a family together.

00:19:24Get over yourself.

00:19:26You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?

00:19:30President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.

00:19:36We're done.

00:19:38I'm not done.

00:19:39But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.

00:19:45You can count on that.

00:19:49No, no, no.

00:19:49Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.

00:19:52Your troubles are just getting started.

00:19:55He'll authorize you to be here.

00:20:00Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.

00:20:09You're Dr. Marksman.

00:20:10These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.

00:20:24As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.

00:20:29Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.

00:20:35He was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table.

00:20:39Clear-cut medical malfeasance.

00:20:40Dr. Hart.

00:20:51Incredible news.

00:20:53Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.

00:21:00When?

00:21:01Less than an hour ago.

00:21:03Dismissed by President Vail's son.

00:21:04Oh, amazing.

00:21:09I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired by his submental son.

00:21:17With respect, we're still establishing our reputation.

00:21:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?

00:21:25We'll offer him whatever it takes.

00:21:27Full department autonomy.

00:21:31Research funding.

00:21:32State-of-the-art facilities.

00:21:35And if necessary, my personal involvement.

00:21:39His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.

00:21:43Have my car brought round.

00:21:45I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.

00:21:48And Adrian Marksman?

00:21:50He's leaving with me.

00:21:51Alphesans.

00:21:59What kind of delusional accusation is that?

00:22:01Now, don't insult our intelligence.

00:22:03A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.

00:22:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.

00:22:08Yet you stand there denying it.

00:22:09This is crazy.

00:22:11You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.

00:22:13And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership, you blame me.

00:22:23The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.

00:22:28If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.

00:22:34I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.

00:22:37Security, please detain him.

00:22:43What exactly are you accusing me of?

00:22:47Either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.

00:22:54Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.

00:22:59What other medical atrocities have you committed?

00:23:01You better confess now or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.

00:23:07Fine.

00:23:08Go ahead.

00:23:10Do your worst.

00:23:10Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.

00:23:16You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?

00:23:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?

00:23:26Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.

00:23:29After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.

00:23:32Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.

00:23:36Not after what he did to our patients.

00:23:37I'm contacting the medical board right now.

00:23:42As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.

00:23:49Plan's in motion, Adrian.

00:23:51Do you know what that means?

00:23:52It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.

00:23:56I have one question before I go.

00:24:01Does your father know you fired me?

00:24:04My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.

00:24:09You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?

00:24:14Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.

00:24:17Immediately.

00:24:18Yes, doctor.

00:24:19Right away, sir.

00:24:20That's quite enough.

00:24:36Let him go.

00:24:38Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.

00:24:46I know you.

00:24:49You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.

00:24:54That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.

00:24:58Vivian?

00:24:59I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.

00:25:03What are you doing here?

00:25:05Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.

00:25:08Wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?

00:25:15He was sleeping during rounds.

00:25:17Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?

00:25:21Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.

00:25:28Dr. Hart, with all due respect...

00:25:31This is a conversation between medical directors.

00:25:34Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.

00:25:36Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.

00:25:42He compromised patient safety and...

00:25:45I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr....

00:25:48Marksman.

00:25:49David Marksman.

00:25:50I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.

00:25:53After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.

00:26:01His negligence led to the problem.

00:26:03His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.

00:26:09Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?

00:26:14Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?

00:26:17Of course I consulted my father.

00:26:22He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.

00:26:28Dangerous shortcuts?

00:26:30Is that what President Vail really said?

00:26:32His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.

00:26:36President Vail was the one that recruited me.

00:26:38This makes absolutely no sense.

00:26:39Please, Adrian, the President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.

00:26:45Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.

00:26:51Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.

00:26:55Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:27:02Well, I've...

00:27:03Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name.

00:27:09And a seven-figure salary package.

00:27:12And a seven-figure salary package.

00:27:39And cash.

00:27:44Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.

00:27:49Hopefully this shows you.

00:27:52I mean what I say.

00:27:53Chief of surgery?

00:28:03You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?

00:28:08Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?

00:28:12This is absurd.

00:28:14He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.

00:28:16And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?

00:28:22The medical board should review your hiring practices.

00:28:27Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.

00:28:31This isn't about money.

00:28:34Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.

00:28:38She's offering herself up to him.

00:28:41She can't do that.

00:28:42Are you a doctor or a call girl?

00:28:45At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.

00:28:50Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.

00:28:56And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.

00:28:58Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.

00:29:10My father confirmed it himself.

00:29:12Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?

00:29:15His exact words.

00:29:18Negligence, surgeon.

00:29:20What are those?

00:29:23Personal gifts from your father.

00:29:25My fellowship offer.

00:29:30My personal research lab.

00:29:32My surgical team.

00:29:34I'm leaving it all behind.

00:29:37You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.

00:29:47You know what?

00:29:48Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.

00:29:50You never deserve those privileges in the first place.

00:29:52The medical board is going to see that justice is done.

00:29:56Oh, your stupidity.

00:29:59It's just astonishing.

00:30:02You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.

00:30:06This man is a life-saving artist.

00:30:12Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.

00:30:17Yeah, look, I'll be real.

00:30:20We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.

00:30:22Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.

00:30:24Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.

00:30:30Look at yourself, Adrian.

00:30:33Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.

00:30:35How pathetically desperate.

00:30:37Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.

00:30:45How dare you talk to me like that!

00:30:47Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.

00:30:53As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.

00:31:00And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.

00:31:05Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.

00:31:10That accusation isn't just baseness.

00:31:13It's absurd.

00:31:14What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?

00:31:17You've got no choice but to sign this confession.

00:31:19Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.

00:31:21If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.

00:31:28We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.

00:31:33If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.

00:31:40Let's go.

00:31:42One more second and a cesspool's going to make me physically ill.

00:31:51Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.

00:32:00David, you've proven your loyalty.

00:32:02The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.

00:32:06This is, this is, this is extraordinary.

00:32:09I, thank you.

00:32:11I, uh, I, I am honored beyond words.

00:32:15Don't forget about me, Preston.

00:32:18Don't worry, babe.

00:32:19You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.

00:32:24How exciting.

00:32:25Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.

00:32:32Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.

00:32:35Six critical patients incoming.

00:32:36Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.

00:32:39Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:41Shit, I'm screwed.

00:32:42Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.

00:32:46If Preston finds out I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.

00:32:50I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.

00:32:56These techniques are revolutionary.

00:32:59I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.

00:33:02It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.

00:33:04You've obviously got your own methodology.

00:33:06No need to bore me with the specifics.

00:33:08I trust your brilliance.

00:33:10Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:33:12With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.

00:33:16Hospital expansion.

00:33:19Again, sir.

00:33:20I'm deeply honored.

00:33:27Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.

00:33:31Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.

00:33:37Glad you're feeling better, honey.

00:33:40Yeah.

00:33:40Oh, sorry.

00:33:42Who's this?

00:33:47Nelson Vail speaking.

00:33:48President Vail.

00:33:49Dr. Vivian Hart here.

00:33:50I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.

00:33:58Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.

00:34:02Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?

00:34:06This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.

00:34:11Now, just...

00:34:12What is that conniving bitch plotting?

00:34:19She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.

00:34:21She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.

00:34:24Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?

00:34:29Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.

00:34:40Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.

00:34:42Dad, relax.

00:34:43I fired the other one, that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.

00:34:49Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.

00:34:55Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.

00:35:02There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.

00:35:06I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance, when in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.

00:35:14So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?

00:35:17She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.

00:35:22That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.

00:35:25Impressive, son.

00:35:26You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.

00:35:29I've been waiting to see out of you.

00:35:31I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.

00:35:38Dad, this is everything I've worked for, thank you.

00:35:41We'll get to work immediately.

00:35:43We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.

00:35:51Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.

00:35:54I won't let you down.

00:35:55Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.

00:36:01Preston only got his MBA last year.

00:36:04Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?

00:36:08I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.

00:36:13Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.

00:36:18You mean the surgeon that saved my life?

00:36:20Dr. Adrian Marksman.

00:36:22Exactly.

00:36:23And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.

00:36:33As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.

00:36:41Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.

00:36:49What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.

00:36:56So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?

00:37:08It's not bad.

00:37:09It's a small team, but they're talented.

00:37:12What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.

00:37:17It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.

00:37:21You too.

00:37:23We need to expand.

00:37:25It's too small for what I'm planning.

00:37:28Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.

00:37:34We have all the angles figured out, don't you?

00:37:40And I always find the best one.

00:37:43I'm gonna start recruiting.

00:37:53Good.

00:37:55The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.

00:38:12This better be good.

00:38:14Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?

00:38:18My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.

00:38:27Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.

00:38:32Mr. Vail, I, uh...

00:38:34Is there an issue with that?

00:38:36No, absolutely not.

00:38:38The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?

00:38:44If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.

00:38:51Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.

00:38:54I am precisely the right man for the job.

00:38:59Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.

00:39:01Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.

00:39:04The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.

00:39:06What?

00:39:07They both resigned at once?

00:39:08What was their explanation?

00:39:09They refused to disclose their reasons.

00:39:11But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician.

00:39:13Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.

00:39:16Former physician, Adrian Marksman.

00:39:18This has his saboteur signature all over it.

00:39:21Preston, what's our contingency plan?

00:39:23The surgical department is severely understaffed.

00:39:26If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.

00:39:28Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.

00:39:31You still have me.

00:39:34I can rebuild this department.

00:39:36Ah, yes.

00:39:38With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.

00:39:41Exactly.

00:39:42So we lost some second-rate talent.

00:39:44Let him go.

00:39:46I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.

00:39:52Good work, Marksman.

00:39:54This is working out perfectly.

00:39:59Now I can install my own allies in key positions.

00:40:02Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.

00:40:05It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.

00:40:30Thank you, Dr. Hart.

00:40:35This is Dr. Parker here.

00:40:36He's a triple board certified surgeon.

00:40:38And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.

00:40:41This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.

00:40:45All consummate professionals.

00:40:47My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.

00:40:49With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.

00:40:59Actually, the whole world.

00:41:01We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.

00:41:03Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.

00:41:06I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.

00:41:14We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.

00:41:19Have no fear, Dr. Hart.

00:41:21With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.

00:41:26Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.

00:41:32Yeah, about that.

00:41:34It's a preliminary version.

00:41:35If they continue to develop this approach without modification...

00:41:38Then what?

00:41:39A lot of deaths.

00:41:41A lot of lawsuits.

00:41:42A lot of patients could be harmed.

00:41:44Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.

00:41:49Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.

00:41:54Without that foundation...

00:41:55We're talking about serious complications.

00:41:58Preventable harm.

00:41:59Our first priority has to be patient safety.

00:42:02We need to perfect these procedures.

00:42:04And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.

00:42:09Exactly.

00:42:10It's not about competition or pride.

00:42:12It's about saving lives.

00:42:14We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.

00:42:27Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.

00:42:36And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.

00:42:43I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.

00:42:46Remember this moment.

00:42:48In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.

00:42:53It's 3am.

00:42:54Lost track of time again.

00:42:55Viv, you surprised me.

00:42:56Looks like you could use a nice rub.

00:42:57Do you mind?

00:42:58No.

00:42:59I mean...

00:43:00Yeah.

00:43:01We should be victorious.

00:43:02We should be victorious.

00:43:03It's 3am.

00:43:04It's 3am.

00:43:05Lost track of time again.

00:43:06Viv, you surprised me.

00:43:07Looks like you could use a nice rub.

00:43:08Do you mind?

00:43:09No.

00:43:10I mean...

00:43:11Yeah.

00:43:12Would you give all your surgeons massages?

00:43:25Only the ones I really, really liked.

00:43:33You really, really liked me?

00:43:35Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.

00:43:39Nothing's changed.

00:43:42You were our most brilliant resident in the program.

00:43:45I never imagined someone like you would like me.

00:43:47There was never anyone else that got my attention.

00:43:50Only you.

00:43:53But you were completely oblivious.

00:43:56And then you just vanished from the program.

00:43:59Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.

00:44:04I know.

00:44:07Your talent was extraordinary even then.

00:44:10Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.

00:44:15You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.

00:44:21But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.

00:44:30I understand now.

00:44:39So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?

00:44:44You're the boss.

00:44:46That's right.

00:44:47And as your boss, I say, come home with me.

00:44:51Tonight?

00:44:52You lost everything when Preston fired you.

00:44:55Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.

00:45:05You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.

00:45:09Come with me.

00:45:11Where?

00:45:12My place.

00:45:13Hmm.

00:45:14All right.

00:45:15I'll admit it.

00:45:16That was the best meal I've had in months.

00:45:17Careful, Dr. Marksman.

00:45:18I might start thinking you're easy to please.

00:45:20That just depends on the company.

00:45:21Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.

00:45:25Until the program is fully established, it just makes sense.

00:45:39Are you sure about that?

00:45:40We already work late hours.

00:45:42Living together together is a part of the program.

00:45:45What is the same?

00:45:47living together could get complicated well I like complicated keeps things

00:45:56interesting and where exactly will I be sleeping well my master suite has a

00:46:08California King plenty of room if things ever need to get more collaborative

00:46:34unless you'd rather have a nightcap and mine things could get dangerous is this

00:46:51pathetic attempt really the best that you can do you are completely worthless as

00:46:59surgeons dr. marksman the experimental procedures we're trying to

00:47:04replicate here are extraordinarily intricate we need at least six months

00:47:08to properly master six months you have 72 hours and I expect hourly updates on my

00:47:15desk sir brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the

00:47:20possibility of potentially fatal complication three days then you don't

00:47:24get one hour more go go

00:51:41this work ethic of yours

00:51:44it's a little dangerous

00:51:46that's what Belle used to say about me

00:51:58you've earned more than just respect here Adrian

00:52:02you know that right

00:52:41yeah you too are in way over your heads

00:52:45do you really think that this is acceptable

00:52:48I give you one simple task and you screw it up

00:52:51how the hell did either of you even finish residency

00:52:55Vail General Hospital

00:52:57is the gold standard

00:52:59and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns

00:53:02if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow

00:53:05you're both gone

00:53:06is that clear

00:53:08yes sir

00:53:09this is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team

00:53:15go

00:53:22Mr. Vail

00:53:23what a surprise

00:53:24cut the bullshit marksman

00:53:26we're on schedule or not

00:53:28of course

00:53:29we're

00:53:30we're just refining the final stages

00:53:33yeah

00:53:34everything is under control

00:53:36good

00:53:37there's a problem

00:53:38I expect to hear it from you

00:53:39with no cover-ups

00:53:40of course sir

00:53:44Mr. Vail

00:53:45not now

00:53:46go get me the latest performance reports

00:53:48it

00:53:53looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here

00:53:58don't worry

00:53:59when Preston makes me chief medical officer

00:54:01I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner

00:54:05I was back at the winning team Dr. Marksman

00:54:07today Vail hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next generation surgical program

00:54:21this cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry

00:54:26especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day

00:54:31the question now is who will define the future of surgery

00:54:36relax Mr. Vail

00:54:38heart medical doesn't stand a chance

00:54:40I hope you're right

00:54:43for your sake

00:54:45didn't you say that if the rollout went well that you'd make me chief medical officer

00:54:53it's not a success

00:54:55yet

00:54:56enjoy tonight's launch party

00:54:59because if our results don't outshine heart medical

00:55:02it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time

00:55:05Dr. Hurt we have a problem

00:55:20Vail hospital's new surgical program launches today

00:55:24that's soon?

00:55:25they're hosting a big celebration party tonight

00:55:28it's a good thing we're ahead of

00:55:32you're saying we're ready?

00:55:35why would I lie?

00:55:37we've been tracking Vail's every move

00:55:39let him celebrate

00:55:41it's just gonna backfire

00:55:42how exactly does that work in our favor?

00:55:45Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?

00:55:49Preston Vail's rushing this

00:55:52he's desperate to beat us to the market

00:55:54and?

00:55:55their model's flawed

00:55:57if they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure in their approach

00:56:01we won't have to lift a damn finger

00:56:04and what about when it falls apart?

00:56:06then heart medical takes over as the future of modern surgery

00:56:10so you're saying that Vail hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed

00:56:16it's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast

00:56:19they're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again

00:56:23they don't even realize the cracks in their foundation

00:56:26that actually makes perfect sense

00:56:31which means we've already won

00:56:34well this is a big day for us

00:56:36we should celebrate

00:56:37what do you have in mind? drinks?

00:56:39not quite

00:56:40you and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight

00:56:44what? why?

01:07:01just pissed because he did what you couldn't

01:07:04I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation

01:07:08and when it fails

01:07:11and it will

01:07:13you're not the ones that'll pay for it

01:07:15the patients will

01:07:16you can't prove that

01:07:17not yet

01:07:19but you can't fake medicine

01:07:22medicine and science

01:07:24always

01:07:25tell

01:07:26the truth

01:07:29our three's vitals just dropped

01:07:31we've got uncontrolled bleeding

01:07:33second patient today

01:07:34same issue

01:07:35vessel ligation failed mid operation

01:07:37these techniques aren't viable

01:07:39the veil method doesn't hold under stress

01:07:41I mean come on

01:07:43tonight proves it

01:07:45we're ahead of every surgical institute in the country

01:07:50talk to me

01:07:52the vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again

01:07:54this is the second patient bleeding out tonight

01:07:57use the compression step

01:07:59that only works in controlled scenarios

01:08:01we told you these procedures weren't fully tested

01:08:02look just follow the notes

01:08:05I designed those techniques for 101 guidance

01:08:11not mass implementation

01:08:13without calibration

01:08:15it's unstable

01:08:18it's dangerous

01:08:20I designed those techniques for 101 guidance

01:08:21not mass implementation

01:08:23without calibration

01:08:25it's unstable

01:08:26it's dangerous

01:08:28you know

01:08:29It's unstable.

01:08:31It's dangerous.

01:08:32They tried to commercialize your success without you.

01:08:35Now people are paying for it.

01:08:38All good?

01:08:39Of course.

01:08:41Just routine coordination.

01:08:43Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.

01:08:46Your surgical program is failing.

01:08:48And patients are suffering.

01:08:50You've been out of the field for months.

01:08:52You wouldn't know?

01:08:53Yeah, I would know.

01:08:54Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.

01:08:57And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.

01:09:02Oh, shit.

01:09:09Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.

01:09:11Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.

01:09:15Okay, listen very carefully.

01:09:18Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging

01:09:22because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.

01:09:26No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver

01:09:30with selective hepatic arterial legation

01:09:32followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis

01:09:36using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.

01:09:40Yes.

01:09:43Yes.

01:09:44How do we even know he made a phone call?

01:09:49His whole thing is performance, a charade.

01:09:51You stole his methods.

01:09:53This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.

01:09:58Uh, that's a lie.

01:10:00Then prove me wrong.

01:10:01Show them all a technique that I didn't create.

01:10:03Why would we believe anything he says?

01:10:09He was fired.

01:10:10Humiliated.

01:10:11You're right, I was fired.

01:10:13And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed

01:10:15and sold back to the board as revolutionary.

01:10:18You know what?

01:10:19This is pathetic.

01:10:21He's just jealous.

01:10:22He missed his shot.

01:10:23Is that what you told yourself?

01:10:25When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?

01:10:29Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.

01:10:33I think it's exactly the time and place.

01:10:46I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.

01:10:50And thanks to Adrian's guidance,

01:10:52our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.

01:10:56Adrian just cleaned up your mess.

01:11:00You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready,

01:11:03and you fired him.

01:11:05The one person who could make them safe.

01:11:09Dad, you don't see the full picture here.

01:11:13Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.

01:11:15This hospital was built on trust and integrity,

01:11:18and you've disgraced them both.

01:11:20Your father nearly died because of your ego.

01:11:25Because of his lies.

01:11:28You saved me.

01:11:30You saved Nelson.

01:11:32And now you can save Vale.

01:11:34I tried to warn you all.

01:11:37No one listened.

01:11:38They're listening now.

01:11:40You deserve to be at Vale

01:11:42more than either of those two.

01:11:45And probably even more than me.

01:11:46It was a mistake to let you go.

01:11:50Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital

01:11:52with procedures still in development.

01:11:55They weren't ready.

01:11:57They needed supervision.

01:11:59Precision.

01:12:01Development.

01:12:02Instead, someone took my notes

01:12:03and tried to fast-track them for glory.

01:12:06Oh, you can't prove that.

01:12:08Security footage

01:12:09of you stealing Adrian's notebook

01:12:15from the hospital.

01:12:17Already submitted to the board.

01:12:19I built on what he started.

01:12:23Okay?

01:12:24I didn't steal.

01:12:25I enhanced it.

01:12:27Then why were patients about to die?

01:12:30You falsified rollout readiness?

01:12:33He did more than that.

01:12:34He put lives at risk

01:12:36to prove that he was smarter

01:12:38than the guy that actually created the program.

01:12:40We're going to need to open

01:12:41a formal investigation on this.

01:12:44This is absurd.

01:12:45This was supposed to be our night.

01:12:47Oh, it's your night.

01:12:49Just not the way you thought it'd be.

01:12:52You lied to me.

01:12:54I didn't lie.

01:12:55I simplified the truth.

01:12:57Simplify?

01:12:58You could have caused serious harm

01:13:00to countless innocent people.

01:13:02You nearly killed the president of the hospital.

01:13:05You passed up experimental procedures

01:13:07as launch ready.

01:13:08That's malpractice.

01:13:10They worked.

01:13:11Nelson's alive.

01:13:12Look, the patients, they're alive.

01:13:14Yeah, because of me.

01:13:16Those methods require sequential tensioning,

01:13:19breath control,

01:13:20special clamp techniques.

01:13:21Getting one beat wrong

01:13:22is the difference between life and death.

01:13:24Wait, these really are your techniques.

01:13:26I tested them for years.

01:13:29It was never meant for mass rollout.

01:13:32Not without training.

01:13:33You're rewriting history?

01:13:35No, you tried to erase him from it.

01:13:38Adrian Marksman was the reason

01:13:40that Vale's program had a future.

01:13:42And without him, it won't.

01:13:45This is absurd!

01:13:46You're siding with this disgraced former resident?

01:13:50He's not disgraced, son.

01:13:52You are.

01:13:54You hijacked a program you didn't understand.

01:13:56And then when your ego wasn't enough,

01:14:00you propped up this fraud.

01:14:04Taking his side, Dad?

01:14:06I'm your son.

01:14:07I'm taking the side of truth.

01:14:10And so will the board.

01:14:11We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.

01:14:15Until then, both of you are suspended

01:14:16from all surgical and administrative duties.

01:14:20Suspended?

01:14:20No, no, you can't do that.

01:14:22You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.

01:14:24We understand the liability.

01:14:26That's enough.

01:14:26Mr. Preston Vale,

01:14:30Dr. David Marksman,

01:14:32come with us.

01:14:34Dad,

01:14:35you're not going to have to drag me out like this.

01:14:37I'm your son.

01:14:38No, don't you touch me.

01:14:39You're not a child.

01:14:41Hey, Dad!

01:14:42I'm in the side belt, Dad!

01:14:43You're just kidding, son of a...

01:14:45Dad!

01:14:45Do something!

01:14:46Get off me!

01:14:47I'm just...

01:14:47You're not a child!

01:14:49You're not my responsibility.

01:14:51Oh.

01:14:52Adrian, please.

01:14:59I made a mistake.

01:15:00I see that now.

01:15:01I should have believed in you.

01:15:03I should have stood by you.

01:15:05You were right about everything.

01:15:10Just give me a second chance.

01:15:13Please.

01:15:14I still love you.

01:15:17Love?

01:15:18You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.

01:15:22You don't understand.

01:15:23I thought he was finished.

01:15:26I thought he had nothing left.

01:15:28So you sold him out.

01:15:30Mocked him.

01:15:31Over and over again.

01:15:33I was scared.

01:15:35I...

01:15:35I didn't know what to do.

01:15:37Oh, you knew.

01:15:38You just didn't care.

01:15:40Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.

01:15:44Please.

01:15:46Say something.

01:15:48Anything.

01:15:50You had your chance, Fiona.

01:15:51And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.

01:15:55You always belonged in my operating room.

01:16:07And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.

01:16:12The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board, and David will never go near another patient again.

01:16:22We're rebuilding.

01:16:23And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.

01:16:29I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.

01:16:33You had your chance, too.

01:16:35I'm not the same man that you fired.

01:16:38Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.

01:16:42Adrian 2.0.

01:16:43I'm not coming back.

01:16:44You're choosing her?

01:16:49Our rival?

01:16:50You arrogant little ingrate.

01:16:53I open the door for you, and you slam it in my face.

01:16:57Just typical.

01:16:58Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?

01:17:04She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.

01:17:08Oh, projecting much, Nelson.

01:17:12Get me out of here.

01:17:14Now!

01:17:14Corma has good timing.

01:17:35Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.

01:17:39We have lives to save.

01:17:40Hey!

01:17:42Not so fast, mister.

01:17:44You're a hotshot genius sergeant.

01:17:47I still owe you that extra special bonus.

01:17:52Now?

01:17:53Well, it's just in a time like the present.

01:18:03This is what victory tastes like.

01:18:05It's not bad.

01:18:07I need a second opinion.

01:18:11Well, I've got all night.

01:18:12And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.

01:18:18Should I be afraid of a performance review?

01:18:20You're already exceeding expectations.

01:18:23But I am very thorough.

01:18:33Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.

01:18:38Besides meeting you, of course.

01:18:40way back in, no doubt.

01:18:47I'm just waiting for it.

01:18:49Every time you're coming.

01:18:50Bye.

01:18:51Bye.

01:18:52Bye.

01:18:53Bye.

01:18:55Bye.

01:18:57Bye.

01:19:00Bye.

01:19:01Bye.

01:19:02Bye.

01:19:03Bye.

01:19:04Bye.
