00:00The End
00:02The End
00:04The End
00:06The End
00:08The End
00:10Bear with me another moment.
00:12There we are.
00:14Well done.
00:18Everything alright?
00:20Your son's doing remarkably well, considering.
00:24Considering back-to-back surgeries.
00:28One for a gunshot wound and the other this experimental procedure for his tumor.
00:36And I'm just so grateful to Dr. Buckingham.
00:40And to you and the whole medical team.
00:44I can't comprehend what is taking place here.
00:50I don't have to understand it.
00:52I just need my son to survive.
00:58That needs to be your sole focus, Liam.
01:02Surviving.
01:04You get your rest.
01:12Looks like you're gonna have some visitors.
01:16I just keep thinking about how...
01:22Differently things might have turned out.
01:24You know, when I just...
01:26It's terrifying, all of it.
01:28Liam could have died and Sheila...
01:30Steffi...
01:32Thank God she's safe.
01:34What was going on in Lona's mind?
01:38As if pulling out a gun might endear her to Steffi.
01:40It's insane.
01:42Oh, it's insane.
01:44You two doing okay?
01:48How's Steffi?
01:50Who's Steffi?
01:51She's good.
01:52She's shaking, but you know, she covers well.
01:54I can only imagine how worried you must have been.
01:56Extremely worried to say the least.
02:00And even though Steffi's safe, it's just...
02:02It's hard to shake that feeling.
02:04That overwhelming sense of stress.
02:08Well, that's all in the past now.
02:12Lona's not gonna be a problem anymore.
02:16God.
02:17I can't believe how crazy Lona went.
02:20Okay, I guess I can totally believe that.
02:23But, I mean...
02:24Pulling a gun on Steffi and shooting Liam and Sheila?
02:30Yeah, again, why am I even surprised?
02:33Well, luckily, the surprises are over.
02:37Now that she's gone.
02:39Because of your brother.
02:41Because of Liam's bravery.
02:49Bill, we know Liam's in there.
02:51You need to explain this to me.
02:53I was gonna ask you the same question.
02:55I'm not a doctor, and this whole thing has been like...
02:59Well, what is this procedure?
03:03You really think it can save him?
03:05Waiting on the results.
03:07But, yeah.
03:09We wanna see him.
03:11We'd like to see him now.
03:13We'd like to see him now.
03:14But.
03:15You're going to take care of him.
03:17We won't take care of him now.
03:19We'll have a look at him.
03:21It's pretty good.
03:22Yeah, we're right.
03:23We'll see him now.
03:25We'll see your ego.
03:27We'll see you later.
03:28We'll see you later.
03:31We'll see you later.
03:32We'll see you later.
03:33of course you can see him
04:00but be prepared he is very weak he's still groggy from the procedure i'm still looking for some
04:08clarity about that yeah we're really confused about this why don't you consult with me because
04:12there wasn't time for debate finn and dr buckingham said she thought this could work
04:16time was of the essence and we went for it i would do anything i mean anything to save my son's life
04:23that's why i wanted liam to open up to you about it sooner so thank you but it's still we yeah we
04:29want to see liam
04:30he took guts standing up to luna yeah major guts he could have died
04:37are you talking about liam hey uh yeah we're both kind of in awe
04:43he was willing to sacrifice himself for stephi
04:47yep he survived that and for what now he's facing something that uh he's not gonna survive
04:53he was shot and he made it through it but i'm still gonna lose him
05:00feels good though doesn't it knowing we don't have to worry about luna very good
05:06i mean not that i'm celebrating her death i really would have preferred her getting some
05:12much needed psychiatric help behind bars but but yes knowing the worry is gone it's an enormous
05:19relief it's gone because of liam has courage yeah i will always be grateful to him for protecting
05:25steffi steffi saving our daughter's life
05:28liam needs his rest right now yeah he does sheena but he also needs to see steffi and hope when he
05:46wakes up
05:47he'll meet the world too
05:53a man must be going through and i'm not just talking about his prognosis
06:11it's devastating mentally he is one of the most peaceful people i know
06:21knowing that he took a life i hope he doesn't focus on that aspect because my brother is a hero
06:27he's a real and genuine hero yeah but what does he get for that how is he rewarded for his heroism
06:34he's facing a death sentence
06:37i know liam is thankful for every day he has
06:50and he's fighting so hard to get past these injuries
06:54for what a few months he won't be here anymore
06:58yes but he is thankful despite what he's going through liam wants to be here for as many days as he can
07:05making memories for his daughters
07:08memories that they'll have with them after he's
07:13gone
07:15breaks my heart
07:17what he's going through
07:19knowing he has little time left
07:22kelly and beth have no idea
07:26how soon their world will change
07:29his numbers are already this good
07:34he's doing remarkably well
07:35i'll say
07:38i need to make some calls
07:41uh get a few more supplies sent over
07:43can i leave liam in your care for a bit
07:44yeah yeah of course of course
07:46i'll be just down the hall of hitting
07:50it's only been a couple hours right
07:56yeah
07:57i'm just surprised dr buckingham didn't insist on keeping him overnight
08:02i wasn't an option because of where we had to do the procedure
08:05which was
08:07what exactly
08:09you know what finn i i don't even know the technical term
08:12it was just brain surgery
08:14you mean for the mass
08:16yeah
08:16but we were told that it was inoperable
08:19you know i know and from what dr buckingham and i could tell
08:23nothing could be done
08:24okay but there were treatments to buy him more time like chemo and radiation
08:29but this idea of this
08:30kind of cure
08:32which is exactly why we jumped at the chance
08:34when dr buckingham said she had this colleague doing this experimental procedure
08:39which was someone from outside the country
08:41right
08:41right right
08:42yeah look you understand but we had to go for it right
08:45there were no other options what we're gonna do is just sit around and wait for liam to die
08:50no we're very very thankful it just it is strange
08:55did you get the name of the other doctor
08:57yeah it was dr uh
08:59i'm sorry you know i can't i can't even remember it was it was so stressful
09:08i know i understand so why did this procedure need to be done outside the hospital
09:11because of its experimental nature the hospital wouldn't take on the liability
09:15look i know it sounds shady but i can tell you that i know personally of power brokers that have gone outside of the country to do certain procedures that haven't been approved here because of all the bureaucratic red tape
09:30it was completely professional experience
09:35right and liam came through with flying colors
09:38i think
09:39i think they got the entire mass
09:43you think
09:45yeah
09:45well when will we know
09:48as soon as dr buckingham gets back to me with the final mri results
09:53okay okay so if this is truly successful and they were able to remove the mass
09:59liam may actually survive
10:03yes
10:04i mean this blows my mind
10:07because
10:07was there any literature that they gave you and liam to read
10:11or surgical efficacy rates
10:13pro's anything did you
10:15no and what does it matter finn
10:17it doesn't matter
10:18the only thing i was thinking about the one
10:21and only thing
10:22was saving my son's life
10:24so liam didn't tell anybody
10:40no
10:40i just don't understand why
10:43he didn't even tell me
10:44he didn't tell us
10:45his own family
10:46i get that he wanted to keep it a secret
10:48but for this long
10:49i really can't blame him
10:51when nobody wants to be pitied
10:54and the way people look at you
10:56and you can just tell that they feel sorry for you
10:58and
10:58trust me
11:00being on the receiving end of that
11:01i
11:02i can understand why he wouldn't want everyone to know
11:05yeah
11:06especially with his little girls right
11:08exactly
11:09he'd want to shield them
11:12protect them
11:14the truth
11:14for as long as he can
11:16i hesitate to bring this up
11:19but do you think you ought to postpone your italy trip
11:22with everything that's happened
11:23and knowing what's to come
11:27yes
11:29liam survived the shooting thankfully
11:32but
11:33god forbid something happens while you're away
11:35and
11:38hope and beth are gonna need me
11:40and
11:40stephi and kelly are gonna need you
11:42what if we're halfway around the world
11:45when liam
11:46leaves us
11:49look
11:59i don't doubt that you have the resources
12:02and the determination to do anything for liam
12:05but having him recover here
12:07instead of at the hospital
12:09all right
12:10let me stop you finn
12:11look
12:11dr buckingham
12:12assured me

12:15you gotta admit
12:16we are pretty decked out
12:17shorted all the equipment

12:23he's not your patient
12:25look i
12:26i realize you have a
12:28a personal connection
12:29but beyond that
12:30i'm glad that dr buckingham
12:34didn't do this by committee
12:35there wasn't the time
12:36to weigh out the pros and cons
12:38okay yes
12:38bill i understand that
