00:30Oh.
00:35Evan Snarper.
00:40Right.
00:42Er, where's Weatherfield again?
00:46OK.
01:00OK.
01:28You all right?
01:29Salt light on.
01:31Yeah, I needed the distraction.
01:34Still can't believe it's real, even if the papers say it is.
01:38Yeah.
01:40Fancy a brew?
01:42Yeah, please.
01:43You can fill me in on Shona and the baby, eh?
01:46Ugh.
01:47Well, I mean, they're transferring us back to Manchester
01:50and, honestly, every bum break,
01:53I just kept thinking, this is it.
01:56The placenta's gonna give way, she's gonna bleed out,
02:00go full into labour here on a hard shoulder.
02:03Longest ride of your life, eh?
02:05Mm.
02:06Not slept.
02:07Either of us.
02:08I'm knackered.
02:09I can't get back on ward until nine.
02:11Ops at ten.
02:12But every hour that the baby's in the wound,
02:14they said the tumour could be getting bigger.
02:16Still might be cancerous, you see.
02:18It's a lot to get your head around.
02:20Yeah.
02:21I mean, there'll be 30 people in an operating theatre.
02:25There'll be team Shona and team baby.
02:28Has she told you, like, how the...
02:30Yeah, well, she said it's like, erm, it's like a cesarean, but...
02:33Yeah.
02:34So, they deliver the baby, erm, but they can't cut the cord yet
02:38because she won't be able to breathe on her own.
02:40Oh, poor little mite.
02:41Mr Lee's talked us through everything.
02:43He's a mister.
02:44He's not even a doctor, apparently.
02:45He's won down from God, and they fly him all over the world to do this.
02:49So, he's gonna...he's gonna take the...the...
02:51Mass.
02:52Right, but he'll...he'll remove it today?
02:54Well, no, he can't, you see, because she'll be too tiny.
02:58They have to wait until she's a little bit bigger
03:00so they know exactly what they're dealing with.
03:02So, he'll put her breathing tube in,
03:04and then once that's all working and up and running,
03:07then the midwives can cut the cord,
03:09but until then,
03:11he'll have both their lives in his hands.
03:14At the same time.
03:31So handsome.
03:33What a little girl I'll never get to meet you.
03:37Oh.
03:52Uh, hiya.
03:53Uh, coffee, please.
03:55Take away.
03:56Not like you could do with it.
03:58No.
03:59I've, uh, just driven up from Bristol.
04:01My condolences.
04:02Ha!
04:08Oh, that's awful.
04:09There can't be that many of them around.
04:12Gay vicars.
04:15What makes you think he was gay?
04:16What you mean apart from the grooming?
04:18I, um...
04:22I read it.
04:23One of the papers.
04:26Anything else?
04:27Uh, cheese and onion pie?
04:28Lunch don't start till 12, not a second earlier.
04:32Right.
04:34Some other time.
04:39Cheers.
04:40The gazette doesn't say anything about him being gay.
04:54Hmm?
04:55Other doctors and midwives all primed.
04:57You know, Mr. Lee and his team.
04:58We're, um, still waiting on a few people.
05:01Heh.
05:06I mean, they are all set to go though, aren't they?
05:07You know, he is the OG, isn't he?
05:09Well, he wouldn't put it like that, but...
05:12We'd clone him if we could.
05:13He's so in demand.
05:15That's what gets him out of bed.
05:17Making sure that his paediatric students, uh,
05:19get the very best training.
05:21Well...
05:23The operation's really happening, isn't it?
05:25I mean, you wouldn't be doing all this if it wasn't, would you?
05:28I think the consultant wanted a word with you.
05:37So how far away is it?
05:40Well, you said five minutes, five minutes ago.
05:44I can't drive, can I? I've told you that.
05:47Well, can't you take me, Tim?
05:49Oh, f-
06:12Oh, my God.
06:13Oh, my God.
06:18Are you...
06:20Are you...
06:25Mate!
06:26Are you having a laugh?
06:27I thought you were moving.
06:29In this space, yeah?
06:31Right.
06:32Uh, sorry, I'm running late.
06:34And?
06:36OK.
06:37All right.
06:39Clown.
06:44I'm sorry.
06:47Flaming cab didn't show up.
06:49I forgot your dressing gown.
06:50I had to go back for that.
06:51I nearly had a fight with some clown in car park,
06:53over a car parking space.
06:54What's happened?
06:55Mr Lee's not here to do the operation.
06:57What? Why?
06:58You serious?
06:59Look, you got us all the way from Hotton for this.
07:01Just let us speak.
07:02Mr Lee's in Lithuania.
07:03Yeah, and he was flying back.
07:04His flight was cancelled.
07:05Right, well, then we wait.
07:06No, we can't.
07:07We've an on-call team of paediatric ENT surgeons,
07:10all trained by him.
07:12Look, I am still in shock from the crash, OK?
07:14He's had a seizure from the stress.
07:16Did they tell you that?
07:17And now you're putting this on top of everything.
07:18All right, all right, all right.
07:19Come, come here.
07:20Come here.
07:21Just, just...
07:22Can we just...
07:23Just take a breath.
07:24Come on.
07:25Come on.
07:26They know what they're doing.
07:27It's gonna be all right.
07:28Yeah?
07:29So you're bringing a ringer in?
07:30The on-call paediatric ENT.
07:31Yeah.
07:32And he's same level and he's a mister.
07:33You aren't gonna try and fob us off with some doctor, are you?
07:49Er, hi.
07:50Shona, is it?
07:51I'm Vincent Harper.
07:52I'll be performing the surgery on your baby today.
07:55Er, we did have our hopes pinned on Mr. Lee.
07:58No offence, it's just, he's the one that we know.
08:00Mr. Harper's a very experienced ear, nose and throat specialist.
08:04He's come all the way from Bristol to join the team today.
08:06Well, thank you.
08:07No, no, thank you for allowing the two students in.
08:10Fetal cervical teratomas like this are rare,
08:13but, er, it's a great learning opportunity.
08:15And you've done this kind of operation before, then?
08:18As I say, Mr. Harper is a leader in the field.
08:21Consent's all done?
08:23Yeah.
08:24The obstetrics all happy?
08:25Mm-hmm.
08:26Great.
08:27Let's crack on, then.
08:28Shona, I'll see you down in theatre.
08:29You left your lights on, by the way.
08:32Cheers.
08:35Your lights?
08:36You drove?
08:37I didn't have a choice, did I?
08:39You could have killed someone.
08:41Yeah, but I didn't.
08:42And look, I was all right until he tried robbing my space.
08:45Look, you had a seizure and you drove,
08:47and then you picked a fight with the surgeon.
08:49Well, I didn't mean it was the surgeon, did I?
08:51I thought he was just some clown.
08:52Great!
08:53We really need to go.
08:55Look, I'm fine, all right?
08:56It was fine.
08:57I can't.
08:58What's Shona?
08:59Can we not do this now?
09:00Please?
09:01What?
09:02Please!
09:03Shh...
09:07Shh...
09:13Shh...
09:14Shhhh...
09:16Okay.
09:46I can't get past the mass.
09:58Is there a narrower tube?
10:01Mum's blood pressure has locked in.
10:02Are we resting fetal hypoxia?
10:04It's 84 over 60 falling.
10:06Right.
10:07Move on.
10:08We'll do the tracheotomy.
10:10Good call.
10:11This baby's good enough to contend with without being starved of oxygen.
10:14Scarple, please.
10:15BP, 72 over 52.
10:18Making the incision now.
10:22Don't say it.
10:45They're fine.
10:46Mother and baby, both.
10:48Okay.
10:48Mr Harper's had to do a tracheotomy.
10:50No.
10:51They did warn you that might happen.
10:53I know, it's just still, you know.
10:55It's not permanent, just until they can remove the mass.
10:58Now, Mr Harper will talk you through it.
11:00It's good news, David.
11:01Yeah, okay.
11:03All right.
11:03Now, the baby's been moved to the NICU and she's breathing well and her heartbeat's stable.
11:08Well, I wish mine was.
11:09Um, how's Shona doing?
11:12She's in recovery.
11:13She's going to be very tired and very tender and it'll be at least a six-week recovery.
11:18Yeah.
11:19Um, where shall I go first?
11:21Babe, well, baby, obviously.
11:23Um...
11:23Come on.
11:23Okay.
11:25It's down there.
11:26Yeah.
11:26Right, great.
11:27Thanks.
11:30Hey, uh, I'm not open yet, so it's just us.
11:33I know you said you'd put it on the plot chart, but...
11:36I don't know, some of us only get plot chart second-hand.
11:38That's a blessing.
11:39The mental age of the comments is about 13.
11:41On a good day.
11:43There's no news.
11:44How's the mood in the factory?
11:45They all turned in.
11:47I suppose when, uh, things go a bit mad, people like certainty, don't they?
11:50Well, I don't get much more mad than Lisa's ex-wife turning up from the dead.
11:54Poor Carla.
11:56Well, she's been discharged and she's staying in a hotel.
11:58Like, we were joking, though, saying, oh, she's probably chatting up some cocktail waiters.
12:03Well, you weren't to know that she'd been kidnapped by some psycho, were you?
12:06Todd isn't picking up.
12:08Yeah, neither's Theo.
12:11Gary was all for going around there, but...
12:13I don't know, I just think they probably need the space, don't they?
12:17Poor Todd, that's both best mates.
12:20Gone.
12:20Hmm.
12:21At least he's got Theo, I suppose.
12:23I'll just keep having this stupid bargain in my head.
12:25So the Universal Guard, whoever, just, like, we've already lost Billy.
12:31And we can't leave Shona's baby as well.
12:35Happy birthday, Daddy.
12:36We got your cake.
12:38It was supposed to be a surprise.
12:39Anyway, I hope it went well.
12:41Drive safely.
12:42Oh, sorry.
12:44Happy birthday.
12:45It's your birthday.
12:46Seventh of June.
12:47Worst day in the world.
12:48No one's ever got any money.
12:50All skin from Christmas.
12:52I bet you get joint Christmas and birthday presents.
12:55My whole life.
12:57Everyone's always maxed out their credit cards.
12:59Nobody ever wants to go out or have fun or do anything.
13:03It's a good job my clubbing days are behind me.
13:04Well, hello, gorgeous girl.
13:09Look at you.
13:11Breathing all by yourself.
13:14A little help from...
13:16Tubing McWimpiper here and...
13:18Mrs Spaghettihead.
13:25Everybody's excited to meet you.
13:28Your mum, for one thing.
13:29And she's like...
13:33The cat's pyjamas.
13:36Or the bee's knees.
13:39I mean, she's crashed out now, but...
13:42When she wakes up...
13:45She wasn't sure if she was ever going to get to meet you.
13:49I knew you wouldn't let us down, though.
14:03Oh, and you've got a sister.
14:08Yeah.
14:09Lily.
14:10Um...
14:11Brother.
14:11Max.
14:13No doubt he'll be on at us to send photos.
14:17Uh...
14:18Uncle.
14:18Auntie.
14:20Grannies.
14:21So, yeah.
14:23I won't tell you this now, because believe me, you're not going to get a minute's peace.
14:27Ah, hi.
14:33Hiya.
14:34She, uh...
14:35It was a bit of a scare.
14:37Yeah, yeah, me and all.
14:39Um, they have explained to you about the tracheostomy.
14:43Um, just that it's temporary, until they remove the tumour.
14:47Uh, and such would you tell us that it's not cancerous.
14:50Yeah, let's hope so.
14:51It will be, uh, a couple of months, but once they're breathing strong enough,
14:55they'll take it out, the tracheocyte will heal, the tumourocyte will heal,
14:59and she'll be eating and speaking normally.
15:03Well, unlike Rastod family.
15:07Well, I'm... I'm going to bottle that, you know.
15:10She's alive.
15:11There's a long way to go, but it's... it's a very good result so far.
15:16Mm.
15:17Listen, the, um, parking, uh, business.
15:21I... I missed the sign for staff parking.
15:26I was stressed.
15:27Same.
15:27Um, yeah, and I just want to say I'm sorry, you know, um,
15:31and thank you to you, you know, everyone's been great,
15:34the whole team, but especially you, you know.
15:36I mean, you've had that long drive up and all those eyes on you.
15:40What can I say?
15:41I'm a solid gold hero.
15:42Well, you are to us, believe me.
15:44If you don't mind, uh, this hero's going to make like a banana and...
15:50Yeah, yeah, of course, you know, I'm sure you've got meetings and whatnot.
15:53Uh, Pegasaurus-shaped birthday cake.
15:55I can't start without me.
15:57Oh, you got the same birthday?
15:59No way!
16:00Did you hear that, Missy?
16:02You got a lot to live up to.
16:03Ha!
16:04She's a plucky one.
16:06Plucky or bullshit.
16:07Yeah.
16:08Northern grit, we call it.
16:10Mm.
16:10But listen, thank you, honestly.
16:13Um, safe trip, yeah.
16:15Take care.
16:15Yeah.
16:15Thanks, Mr Harper.
16:26So, she's in the neonatal ICU.
16:32It's very comfortable.
16:36Oh, um, they can't get the tube in.
16:40So, I've had to put a tracheostomy in so she can breathe.
16:44Which is no biggie.
16:46You know, just until she's over the worst.
16:49Main thing is, she's here.
16:53And she's doing amazing.
16:57Like a mum.
16:57I think Billy must have been looking down on us today.
17:06I think Billy must have been looking down on us today.
17:06Oh, um, you still got that cheese and onion pie?
17:18I couldn't think of anything else.
17:30Yeah, I think I've got one left.
17:35To go.
17:35Oh, my granny was from Wigan.
17:41Ah.
17:42Right, well, those guys know how to make a pie.
17:47But it's all vegan tofu down your neck of the woods.
17:51Ha!
17:51Yeah.
17:52A bit.
17:53Mm.
17:55The coffee machine's off, but I can do you tea.
17:58Ah.
17:58This day gets better and better.
18:00Before you ask, it's not ironic.
18:10How come you're closing?
18:12It's lunchtime.
18:14Well, I'm not really feeling it today.
18:16You know, that vicar we were talking about earlier,
18:24the one in the Gazette?
18:26He was my son-in-law.
18:29I'm so sorry for you and your son.
18:32Yeah, he was a good man.
18:34You know, not in a churchy way, but in here.
18:37And he had his demons, but he mended,
18:40and he mended stronger,
18:41and I am so bloody angry that he's gone.
18:43Don't talk about over-sharing, eh?
18:49That's why I'm closing early.
18:52Right, one pie and one tea.
18:55Oh, um...
18:56No, no, no, you're all right, love.
18:58You enjoy yourself.
19:01It's later than you think.
19:13Right.
19:26I mean, it's a bit of a shock.
19:28It's the first thing you see, but...
19:31Only because she's so tiny.
19:34But then look at the rest of her.
19:36Look at her little fingers, David.
19:38Yeah.
19:39Her nails.
19:42Do you think she knows my voice?
19:44Yeah, of course she can.
19:45Look.
19:49Wow.
19:51All this keeping her alive.
19:53Yeah, well, it won't be for long.
19:56As soon as they remove a tumour and the trachy,
19:58there'll be no stopping her.
19:59You watch.
20:00Yeah, well, let's not run before we come walk, eh?
20:04She's gonna make it, babe.
20:05I know she is.
20:06Of course, you bet I do,
20:08because I just love her so much already.
20:14You know, you don't even see the wires after a while, do you?
20:18No.
20:19You ever thought for a name?
20:22No, I...
20:23I didn't want to tempt fate.
20:26I did.
20:29What about...
20:30Harper?
20:33Harper?
20:34Like, um...
20:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:36Yeah.
20:36And also, it sounds good, doesn't it?
20:39You know, strong, Harper, Platt.
20:42Like a woman who'd run from fire for you.
20:45Yeah.
20:47Well, I love it.
20:49And she loves it, too.
20:50Life's so fragile, isn't it?
20:57You just think one bad decision about a depression or, you know, a slick of oil on tarmac, and it can change like that.
21:09Proud moon?
21:18Proud moon?
21:25Proud auntie.
