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