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.
03:14And we'll see him.
03:15We'll see you next time.
03:17I'll see you next time.
04:24That's why I wanted Liam to open up to you about it sooner, so thank you, but it's still...
04:29Yeah, we want to see Liam.
04:33It took Guts standing up to Luna.
04:35Yeah, Major Guts. He could have died.
04:37Are you talking about Liam?
04:41Hey, uh, yeah, we're both kind of in awe.
04:44He was willing to sacrifice himself for Steffi.
04:47Yep, he survived that, and for what?
04:50Now he's facing something that, uh...
04:52That he's not going to survive.
04:55He was shot, and he made it through it, but...
04:59We're still going to lose him.
05:00It feels good, though, doesn't it?
05:03Knowing we don't have to worry about Luna.
05:06Very good.
05:07You know that I'm celebrating her death.
05:11I really would have preferred her getting some much-needed psychiatric help behind bars, but...
05:16But yes, knowing the worry is gone, it's an enormous relief.
05:20It's gone because of Liam.
05:22His courage.
05:22Yeah, I will always be grateful to him for protecting Steffi.
05:27Saving our daughter's life.
05:40Liam needs his rest right now.
05:42Yeah, he does, Sheena.
05:43But he also needs to see Steffi and hope when he wakes up.
05:51It'll mean the world to him.
05:52Oh, a man must be going through, and I'm not just talking about his prognosis.
06:12It's devastating.
06:15Mentally.
06:17He is one of the most peaceful people I know.
06:22Knowing that he took a life.
06:24I hope he doesn't focus on that aspect, because my brother's a hero.
06:27He's a real and genuine hero.
06:29Yeah, but what does he get for that?
06:31How is he rewarded for his heroism?
06:34I know Liam is thankful for every day he has, and he's fighting so hard to get past these injuries.
06:54For what?
06:56For a few months he won't be here anymore.
06:59Yes, but he is thankful.
07:01Despite what he's going through, Liam wants to be here for as many days as he can.
07:06Making memories for his daughters.
07:10Memories that they'll have with him.
07:12After he's...
07:14gone.
07:15Breaks my heart.
07:17What he's going through.
07:21Knowing he has little time left.
07:24Kelly and Beth have no idea...
07:28how soon their world will change.
07:32His numbers are already this good?
07:34He's doing remarkably well.
07:37I'll say.
07:38I need to make some calls.
07:41I've got a few more supplies sent over.
07:43Can I leave Liam in your care for a bit, Dr. Buckingham?
07:45Yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
07:49I'll be just down the hall of eating.
07:55It's only been a couple hours, right?
07:57Yeah.
07:58I'm just surprised Dr. Buckingham didn't insist on keeping him overnight.
08:02That wasn't an option because of where we had to do the procedure.
08:06Which was...
08:08What, exactly?
08:10You know what, Finn?
08:11I don't even know the technical term.
08:12It was just brain surgery.
08:15You mean for the mass?
08:16Yeah.
08:17But we were told that it was inoperable.
08:20You know, I know.
08:21And from what Dr. Buckingham and I could tell,
08:23nothing could be done.
08:25Okay, but there were treatments to buy him more time,
08:27like chemo and radiation,
08:29but this idea of this kind of cure...
08:32Which is exactly why we jumped at the chance.
08:35When Dr. Buckingham said she had this colleague,
08:37doing this experimental procedure...
08:39Which was someone from outside the country.
08:41Right, right, right.
08:42Yeah, look, you understand,
08:44but we had to go for it, right?
08:46There were no other options.
08:48What we're going to do is just sit around and wait for Liam to die.
08:50No, we're very, very thankful.
08:52It just, it is strange.
08:55Did you get the name of the other doctor?
08:58Yeah, it was Dr. Ed, Ed, Edel...
09:02I'm sorry, you know, I can't, I can't even remember.
09:06It was, it was so stressful.
09:08I know, I understand.
09:09So why did this procedure need to be done outside the hospital?
09:12Because of its experimental nature,
09:13the hospital wouldn't take on the liability.
09:15Look, I know it sounds shady,
09:20but I can tell you that I know personally of power brokers
09:24that have gone outside of the country
09:25to do certain procedures that haven't been approved here
09:28because of all the bureaucratic red tape.
09:30It was a completely professional experience.
09:36And Liam came through with flying colors.
09:39I think, I think they got the entire mass.
09:43Wait, you think?
09:45Yeah.
09:46Well, when will we know?
09:49As soon as Dr. Buckingham gets back to me
09:52with the final MRI results.
09:54Okay, so if this is truly successful
09:57and they were able to remove the mass,
09:59Liam may actually survive.
10:03Yes.
10:04I mean, this blows my mind.
10:07Because, was there any literature
10:09that they gave you and Liam to read?
10:11Or surgical efficacy rates, PROs, anything?
10:15No, no, and what does it matter, Finn?
10:17It doesn't matter.
10:19The only thing I was thinking about,
10:21the one and only thing,
10:22was saving my son's life.
10:29So, Liam didn't tell anybody?
10:40No.
10:41I just don't understand why.
10:43He didn't even tell me.
10:44He didn't tell us.
10:45His own family.
10:46Yeah.
10:47I get that he wanted to keep it a secret,
10:48but for this long?
10:49I really can't blame him.
10:52I mean, nobody wants to be pitied.
10:55And the way people look at you
10:56and you can just tell
10:57that they feel sorry for you.
10:58And trust me,
11:00being on the receiving end of that,
11:01I can understand
11:04why he wouldn't want everyone to know.
11:06Yeah, especially with his little girls, right?
11:08Yeah, exactly.
11:10He'd want to shield them,
11:13protect them from the truth
11:14for as long as he can.
11:17I hesitate to bring this up,
11:19but do you think you ought to postpone
11:21your Italy trip
11:22with everything that's happened?
11:26And knowing what's to come?
11:29Yes, Liam survived the shooting, thankfully.
11:32But God forbid something happens
11:34while you're away.
11:35And Hope and Beth
11:39are going to need me
11:40and Steffi and Kelly
11:41are going to need you.
11:43What if we're halfway around the world
11:45when Liam leaves us?
11:58Look,
11:59I don't doubt that you have
12:01the resources
12:02and the determination
12:04to do anything for Liam.
12:05But having him recover here
12:07instead of at the hospital...
12:09All right, Bill, it's...
12:10Let me stop you, Finn.
12:11Look, Dr. Buckingham assured me
12:13this would be the same month of care.
12:15You got to admit,
12:16we are pretty decked out.
12:17Shorted all the equipment,
12:18we have the nurse.
12:20I wonder why she didn't consult me
12:22on this, like, any of it.
12:24He's not your patient.
12:26Look, I...
12:26I realize you have a 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.
12:39Bill, I understand that.
12:40I get it.
12:41It's just...
12:42You...
12:42Yeah, never mind.
12:47Um...
12:48I'm happy
12:48that it went well
12:50and that things are looking hopeful.
12:53I'm just trying to stay positive.
12:55And I have to believe
12:57that the MRI results
12:58from Dr. Buckingham
13:00are going to be exactly
13:01what we're hoping and praying for.
13:03We're here for you, Leo.
13:12Steffi and I both.
13:16We heard about
13:17your experimental surgery.
13:21You are so brave.
13:24And we are so proud of you.
13:28You're trying to stay with us.
13:30With your little girls.
13:39Hey, Leo.
13:42Hey.
13:43Hey.
13:44We're right here.
13:47Hey.
13:47We're not going to leave your side, okay?
13:50We love you, Leo.
13:52We love you so much.
14:00We should postpone just yet.
14:06Got to live our lives, you know?
14:07So let's...
14:08Let's do this.
14:09Let's...
14:10Evaluate what we're doing
14:11right before we take off.
14:13And if Liam is doing great, then...
14:15Okay.
14:16Well...
14:17I mean, if it's bad,
14:18if it looks like...
14:20We'll do what's best for the family
14:22and what's best for him.
14:24Something we can all agree on.
14:26Definitely.
14:27Some difficult days ahead,
14:30that's for sure.
14:30Well, difficult,
14:31but not impossible.
14:33I mean, together,
14:33the three of us,
14:34we're going to have to stand up
14:35as the parents,
14:37as the grandparents that we are,
14:38and unite
14:39to help our girls through this.
14:41Hope and Steffi
14:42are going to need us.
14:44More importantly,
14:45Kelly and Beth, too.
14:46We have to be there for them.
14:48And we will.
14:53Liam is totally devoted
14:55to his girls.
14:55He wants to be the best father
14:59he can be,
14:59and he is.
15:01It's the thought of
15:02them growing up with him.
15:06I mean, you're grown.
15:07You're on your own,
15:08but...
15:09The thought of leaving you,
15:11it's unbearable.
15:14I just can't imagine
15:15what he must be feeling.
15:16His girls are so young.
15:19Maybe he doesn't have to leave them,
15:21right?
15:22Maybe, um...
15:23Maybe he doesn't have to end
15:24with his death, you know?
15:26The two mores are operable.
15:27I know.
15:30I know, but...
15:32Liam's a fighter.
15:32I don't know if you know that,
15:33but my big brother's a fighter.
15:34So we're going to try
15:35every single option.
15:36I'm sure he'll do
15:37whatever he can.
15:40You don't understand.
15:42That's my big brother.
15:45I'm not ready to lose him, Mom.
15:46I'm sorry.
15:53I'm sorry.
15:58So where am I?
16:01It's not...
16:02the hospital.
16:04We're back at my house,
16:05remember?
16:06We came here
16:07after your surgery.
16:08I'm stuck, you know.
16:15Yes, it's us.
16:18We're here for you.
16:19We heard about
16:22your procedure
16:23with Dr. Buckingham
16:26and our...
16:27and our colleague.
16:28It's unbelievable.
16:30It seems like
16:30since the first time
16:32you were diagnosed,
16:33there's actually
16:33news to be hopeful
16:36about.
16:38We're...
16:38we're just praying
16:40that this treatment
16:41will work.
16:41No, it has to.
16:42we can't lose you.
16:55It's from, uh,
16:57Dr. Buckingham
16:58about the URI.
17:12What'd she say?
17:23Scanned.
17:25The scan's clean.
17:32The f***
17:33tumor's...
17:35it's gone.
17:36What?
17:36100% removed.
17:38What?
17:38With good margins.
17:40Oh, my God.
17:42Liam, did you hear that?
17:47Your tumor is gone.
17:50Did she send an MRI?
17:52Actually, uh,
17:53it's two chaffed,
17:54which the...
17:55the original
17:56and the latest.
17:59This is unbelievable.
18:00They've...
18:01they've...
18:01they pulled this off.
18:03They did it.
18:03They really did it.
18:06This is a miracle.
18:08It worked.
18:09It worked.
18:12Liam,
18:13you're gonna live.
18:18You're gonna get to be around
18:20for your daughters
18:21for a long, long time.
18:28Finn, you're right.
18:30This is truly a miracle.
