00:30Oh.
00:36Vincent Harper.
00:40Right.
00:43Er, where's Weatherfield again?
00:46OK.
01:00You all right?
01:02I'm sorry.
01:04You all right?
01:06I'm sorry.
01:08I'm sorry.
01:28You all right?
01:30Salt light on.
01:32Yeah, 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?
01:46Er...
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.
01:56Placenta's gonna give way.
01:57She's gonna bleed out or fall 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.
02:10Ops 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 thirty 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 caesarean, but...
02:33Yeah.
02:34So, they deliver the baby, erm, but they can't cut the cords 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.
02:46He's won down from God.
02:47And 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.
02:55He 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, he'll have both their lives in his hands.
03:14At the same time?
03:16So handsome.
03:33When a little girl will never get to meet you.
03:46Uh, hiya.
03:53Uh, coffee, please.
03:55Take away.
03:56Not like you could do with it.
03:58No.
03:59I've, er, just driven up from Bristol.
04:01My condolences.
04:03Ha!
04:08Ah, that's awful.
04:09There can't be that many of them around.
04:11Gay vicars.
04:13What makes you think he was gay?
04:16What you mean, apart from the grooming?
04:18I, erm...
04:21Read it.
04:23One of the papers.
04:25Anything 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.
04:43The Gazette doesn't say anything about him being gay.
04:54Hmm?
04:55Are the doctors and midwives all primed?
04:57You know, Mr Lee and his team.
04:59We're, erm, still waiting on a few people.
05:01Ha!
05:02I 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 we'd clone him if we could.
05:13He's so in demand.
05:14That's what gets him out of bed.
05:16Making sure that his paediatric students, er, get the very best training.
05:20Wow.
05:21The operation's really happening, isn't it?
05:24I mean, you wouldn't be doing all this if it wasn't, would you?
05:27I think the consultant wanted a word with you.
05:30How far away is he?
05:40Well, you said five minutes, five minutes ago.
05:43I can't drive, can I?
05:45I've told you that.
05:47Well, can't you take me, Tim?
05:50Oh, f-
06:12Oh, my God.
06:18Are you-
06:20Mate!
06:25Are you having a laugh?
06:27I thought you were moving.
06:28In this space, yeah?
06:30Right.
06:31Er, sorry, I'm running late.
06:33And?
06:35OK.
06:36All right.
06:38Clown.
06:45I'm sorry, flaming cab didn't show up.
06:48I forgot your dressing gown.
06:49I had to go back for that.
06:51I nearly had a fight with some clown in a car park, over a car parking space.
06:54What's happened?
06:55Mr Lee's not here to do the operation.
06:57What?
06:58Why?
06:59You serious?
07:00Look, 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, all trained by him.
07:12Look, I am still in shock from the crash, OK?
07:15He'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...
07:22Just take a breath.
07:23Come on.
07:24Come on.
07:25They know what they're doing.
07:27It's going to be all right.
07:38Yeah?
07:39So you're bringing a ringer in?
07:40The on-call paediatric ENT.
07:42Yeah.
07:43And he's same level and he's a mister.
07:45You're not going to try and fob us off with some doctor, are you?
07:49Er, hi.
07:50Shona, is it?
07:52I'm Vincent Harper.
07:53I'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.
08:03He'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 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?
08:22Yeah.
08:23And obstetrics all happy?
08:24Mm-hmm.
08:25Great.
08:26Let's crack on then.
08:27Shona, I'll see you down in theatre.
08:29You left your lights on, by the way.
08:31Cheers.
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?
08:50I thought it was just some clown.
08:52Wait!
08:53We really need to go.
08:55Well, I'm fine, all right?
08:56It was fine.
08:57I can't.
08:58What's Shona, can we not do this now?
09:00Please!
09:30I can't get past the mess.
09:58Is there a narrow tube?
09:59Warm pressure and squat.
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.
10:29Don't say it.
10:45They're fine.
10:46Mother and baby both.
10:48Okay.
10:49Mr Harper's had to do a tracheotomy.
10:51No.
10:52They did warn you that might happen.
10:53I know, it's just still now.
10:55It's not permanent.
10:56Just until they can remove the mass.
10:58Now, Mr Harper will talk you through it.
11:00It's good news, David.
11:01Yeah?
11:02Okay.
11:03All right.
11:04Now, the baby's been moved to the NICU and she's breathing well and her heart beats stable.
11:08Well, I wish mine was.
11:10Um, how's Shona doing?
11:12She's in recovery.
11:13She's gonna 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...
11:22Well, baby, obviously.
11:23Um...
11:24Come on.
11:25Okay.
11:26Down there.
11:27Yeah.
11:28Right.
11:29Great.
11:30Thanks.
11:31Hey, er, I'm not open yet, so it's just us.
11:33I know you said you'd put it on the plat chart, but...
11:36Some of us only get plat 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.
11:46I suppose when, er, 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.
11:55Well, 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.
12:10Gary was all for going round there, but...
12:13I don't know, I just think they probably need the space, don't they?
12:16Hmm.
12:17Poor Todd, that's both best mates gone.
12:20Hmm.
12:21At least he's got Theo in space.
12:23I'll just keep having this stupid bargain in my head,
12:25to the Universal Guard, whoever, just, like, we've already lost Billy.
12:30And we can't leave showing this baby as well.
12:33Happy birthday, Daddy. We got your cake.
12:37That was supposed to be a surprise.
12:39Anyway, I hope it went well. Drive safely.
12:41Oh, er, sorry. Happy six.
12:44It's your birthday.
12:45Seventh of June.
12:47Worst day in the world. No one's ever got any money.
12:50Old skin from Christmas. I bet you get joint Christmas and birthday presents.
12:54My 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.
13:07Well, hello, gorgeous girl.
13:09Look at you.
13:10Breathing all by yourself.
13:14A little help from...
13:16...Tuby McWimpiper here and...
13:19...Mrs. Spaghettihead.
13:25Everybody's excited to meet you.
13:28Your mum, for one thing.
13:31And she's like...
13:33...the cat's pyjamas.
13:35Or the bee's knees.
13:37I mean, she's crashed out now, but...
13:41...when she wakes up...
13:46...she wasn't sure if she was ever going to get to meet you.
14:01I knew you wouldn't let us down, though.
14:03Oh, and you've got a sister.
14:08Yeah.
14:09Lily.
14:11A brother.
14:12Max.
14:14No doubt he'll be on at us to send photos.
14:18Uncle.
14:19Auntie.
14:20Grannies.
14:22So, yeah.
14:24I won't tell you this now because, believe me, you're not going to get a minute's peace.
14:27Ah.
14:32Hi.
14:33Hiya.
14:35She gave us a bit of a scare.
14:37Yeah, yeah.
14:38Me and all.
14:40They have explained to you about the tracheostomy.
14:44Just that it's temporary until they remove the tumour.
14:48And such would you tell us that it's not cancerous.
14:50Yeah, let's hope so.
14:52It will be a couple of months, but once they're breathing strong enough, they'll take it out.
14:56The tracheocyte will heal, the tumour site will heal, and she'll be eating and speaking normally.
15:03Wow.
15:05Unlike Rastod family.
15:08Well, I'm going to bottle that, you know.
15:11She's alive.
15:12There's a long way to go, but it's a very good result so far.
15:16Mm.
15:17Listen, the, erm, parking business.
15:22I missed the sign for staff parking.
15:26I was stressed.
15:27Same.
15:28Erm, yeah, I just want to say I'm sorry, you know.
15:31Erm, and 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.
15:43Well, you are to us, believe me.
15:45If you don't mind, er, this hero's going to make like a banana and...
15:50Yeah, yeah, of course.
15:51You know, I'm sure you've got meetings and whatnot.
15:53Er, Pegasaurus-shaped birthday cake.
15:56I can't start without me.
15:58Oh, you've got the same birthday?
15:59No way!
16:00Did you hear that?
16:01Did you hear that, Missy?
16:02You've got a lot to live up to.
16:04She's a plucky one.
16:06Plucky or bullshit.
16:07Yeah.
16:09Northern grit, we call it.
16:10Mm.
16:11But listen, thank you, honestly.
16:13Erm, safe trip, yeah.
16:15Take care.
16:16Yeah, thanks, Mr Harper.
16:27So, she's in the neonatal ICU.
16:33It's very comfortable.
16:36Oh, erm, they can't get the tube in.
16:40So, I've had to put a tracheostomy in.
16:43So she can breathe.
16:45Which is no biggie.
16:46You know, just until she's over the worst.
16:50Main thing is, she's here.
16:54And she's doing amazing.
16:57Like a mum.
17:03I think Billy must have been looking down on us today.
17:24We're closed.
17:25Oh, erm, have you still got that cheese and onion pie?
17:29I couldn't think of anything else.
17:31Yeah, I think I've got one left.
17:35To go.
17:39My granny was from Wigan.
17:42Right, well, those guys know how to make a pie.
17:45But it's all vegan tofu down your neck of the woods.
17:51Yeah.
17:53A bit.
17:55The coffee machine's off, but I can do your tea.
17:58Oh, this day gets better and better.
18:00Before you ask.
18:01It's not ironic.
18:02How come you're closing?
18:03It's lunchtime.
18:04Well, I'm not, I'm not really feeling it today.
18:07You know, that vicar we were talking about earlier, the one in the Gazette?
18:12He was my son-in-law.
18:13Oh, I'm so sorry for you and your son.
18:15Yeah, he was a good man.
18:16You know, not in a churchy way but in here.
18:17And he had his demons but he mended and he mended stronger and I am so bloody angry that
18:18he's gone.
18:19And talk about oversharing, eh?
18:20You know, that vicar we were talking about earlier, the one in the Gazette?
18:26He was my son-in-law.
18:29Oh, I'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.
18:38He had his demons but he mended and he mended stronger and I am so bloody angry that he's gone.
18:46You talk about oversharing, eh?
18:50That's why I'm closing early.
18:52Right, one pie and one tea.
18:56Oh, erm...
18:57No, no, no, you're all right, love.
18:59You enjoy yourself.
19:01It's later than you think.
19:19Right.
19:20I mean, it's a bit of a shock. It's the first thing you see but...
19:31Only because she's so tiny.
19:33But 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.
19:45Well...
19:46All this keeping her alive.
19:52Yeah, well, it won't be for long.
19:56As soon as they remove the tumour and the trachea, there'll be no stopping her. You watch.
19:59Yeah, well, let's not run before we can walk, eh?
20:03She's gonna make it, babe. I know she is.
20:07Well, she better had to because I just love her so much already.
20:11Yeah.
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...
20:24I didn't want to tempt fate.
20:26I did.
20:29What about...
20:31Harper?
20:33Harper?
20:34Like, erm...
20:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:37And 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.
20:55Life's so fragile, isn't it?
20:59You just think one bad decision
21:02about a depression or,
21:05you know, a slick of oil on tarmac
21:07and it can change like that.
21:20Proud moon?
21:25Proud auntie.
21:26Mm-hm.
21:27Mm.
