00:00 Are you really gonna murder a pregnant woman?
00:04 [panting]
00:06 [screams]
00:07 Stop!
00:08 Catherine, why?
00:09 My son Blaine is the heir to the Dexter family.
00:12 He's a brain surgeon, and you're...
00:15 you're a bloody nobody!
00:17 He should be ashamed for fooling around with a slut like you,
00:21 and I won't have you ruin all that I've built
00:24 to give birth to that rat!
00:26 But this is your grandson!
00:28 I'll run away. You'll never see me again.
00:31 Slut!
00:32 [screams]
00:33 [sobbing]
00:39 I'll kill you!
00:44 [sobbing]
00:46 [sobbing]
00:48 [theme music]
00:51 [typing]
00:53 [piano music]
01:05 [piano music]
01:07 [gasps]
01:25 [piano music]
01:34 [piano music]
01:36 I never imagined this would be the price I'd have to pay
01:42 for loving him.
01:44 [piano music]
01:46 But this was not the end of my love story.
02:02 Just the beginning.
02:04 I'm Zoe, and this is my love story.
02:16 [sobbing]
02:29 Congratulations. It's a boy.
02:32 That night was supposed to be the end for them both,
02:37 but instead, it became their beginning.
02:41 The challenges Zoe and her son would face over the coming years
02:45 would be even greater.
02:47 Shortly after his birth, Max was diagnosed with leukemia
02:53 and had been in and out of hospitals ever since.
02:56 [sobbing]
02:59 Being a single mother was hard enough,
03:07 but being an interior designer and having to take care of her son
03:11 was a lot.
03:13 How about a bit of candy for the sweetest man in the whole hospital?
03:17 That's not me. Give me my candy.
03:19 Of course it is, Max. You're so sweet, I could eat you up.
03:22 Then why do you keep talking about the you handsome doctor so much?
03:25 Mommy!
03:27 Slow down, sweetheart.
03:29 Thank you for always taking such good care of my little man, Luna.
03:33 Oh, it's my pleasure.
03:35 Not too many men are as good to me as this little guy.
03:38 Speaking of, who's that handsome new doctor you were talking about?
03:43 Oh, he's a very, very gorgeous and powerful surgeon.
03:49 Comes from a really wealthy family. Still single.
03:52 [sad music]
03:55 That thing inside you is nothing but an abomination!
04:12 A blight on our family!
04:16 [alarm beeping]
04:20 [alarm beeping]
04:23 Talent Designs, how may I help you?
04:34 Yes, of course. One moment, please.
04:37 Zoe.
04:39 Zoe!
04:42 Is that for me?
04:46 Yes.
04:47 Are you alright? You've been off since this morning.
04:50 Zoe, thank God!
04:55 Linda, is everything okay?
04:57 It's Ziva. She fell down the stairs and nearly died.
05:01 How badly is she hurt?
05:03 Oh my God, calm down.
05:05 Your sister didn't do this by accident. She did it on purpose.
05:09 What?
05:11 She did it all for a guy.
05:14 That's insane. What guy?
05:17 Um, I didn't say anything. I have to go.
05:20 Wait, which hospital?
05:21 St. Mary's.
05:22 Okay, I'm on my way.
05:24 Family emergency, I've got to go.
05:27 I'll cover for you. I hope everything goes okay.
05:30 As Zoe rushed to the hospital, she worried how casual Linda sounded on the phone.
05:41 [Police radio chatter]
05:45 [Police siren]
05:49 [Police siren]
06:16 You have a lot of explaining to do.
06:19 It really hurts, sis.
06:21 Good! You deserve to be in such pain after doing something so stupid.
06:26 And for what?
06:28 Well, Zoe, you won't understand, but...
06:32 Hi, sorry to bother you. Just wanted to check in.
06:34 Zoe's heart stopped. So it was him.
06:38 Her eyes hadn't lied. She would know that voice anywhere.
06:42 Any dizziness or nausea?
06:46 It was him. Blaine Dexter.
06:48 The man who changed Zoe's life forever.
06:51 She hadn't seen him in years.
06:53 In a twist of fate, here he was,
06:56 examining her sister as though Zoe wasn't even in the room.
07:00 Any double vision, Ziva?
07:02 Only when I see your handsome face twice.
07:04 Zoe, come here. I want you to meet my doctor.
07:10 Zoe?
07:12 His face made shivers run down.
07:15 You're Ziva's sister?
07:17 Yes. I'm her older sister. I'm sorry she's caused such trouble.
07:22 She'll need to stay a few more days as we get some results back.
07:25 Ouch!
07:34 (Ziva's hand burns)
07:36 Zoe didn't realize how long it had been
07:43 since she last felt his hand in hers.
07:46 Her hand was burning up, but it wasn't just the burn on her hand,
07:50 but Blaine's strong fingers wrapped around hers.
08:02 Now, Ziva, according to your CT scan,
08:05 there's no major injury or anything to be concerned about.
08:08 We're going to transfer you to orthopedics
08:10 where Dr. Kevin will take good care of you.
08:12 What? No! Dr. Dexter, you take such good care of me.
08:15 And, you know, I'm still actually a little bit sick.
08:18 It's my stomach.
08:20 Ziva, every bed in my department is very precious.
08:22 I need them to save lives and to treat real patients.
08:25 What?
08:26 Ziva, you'll find that many of the nurses in this hospital like to gossip,
08:29 when a patient is interested in her doctor.
08:32 I think the only illness that you're suffering from is that you're lovesick, infatuated.
08:36 You're living in a fantasy.
08:38 No, I really am sick.
08:40 Sure you are. You injured yourself to get the attention of a man.
08:43 You lied, you schemed, all for me.
08:46 You're wasting your time.
08:48 I don't care for women who betray my trust.
08:51 Besides, I'm not exactly in the market.
08:54 Give my regards to Dr. Kevin when you see him, okay?
08:57 [beeping]
09:08 Way to go.
09:10 You probably told him all about my little scheme, didn't you?
09:12 Shows how little you know. When could I possibly have told him?
09:15 Whatever!
09:17 Hurry up, we need to get out of here.
09:19 Fine. I just want you to admit that you're jealous because he was paying attention to me.
09:24 I was more worried about my idiot sister than some doctor.
09:27 Yeah, right. I saw the way you looked at him. You want him all to yourself.
09:31 I only care about your well-being. Always.
09:36 That includes when it comes to men. So let's drop it, shall we?
09:40 [grunts]
09:42 Zoe was reluctant to share her past with Ziva.
09:45 It would only hurt her.
09:48 Blaine and Zoe's love was so strong.
09:51 And then it vanished in a cloud of smoke.
09:55 No one should--
09:57 I can't take this anymore!
09:59 Why had this revelation come as such a shock?
10:02 Of course Blaine moved on. He was handsome, successful.
10:06 She should be happy for him.
10:08 But it pained her to think about their lost love.
10:11 She couldn't help but feel miserable and worthless.
10:14 But there was no going back.
10:16 Blaine made that clear then.
10:18 And he just did a few minutes ago.
10:20 Zoe decided if it were the last thing she would do,
10:24 she would try to never see Blaine Dexter again.
10:27 [phone rings]
10:33 Hello?
10:34 Zoe, hey. It's Talon. You still at the hospital?
10:37 Yeah, I'm gonna go visit my son.
10:40 Wonderful. Tell him I said hi.
10:41 Listen, when you get the chance, I'm emailing him info about a new client.
10:45 Your design choices line up exactly with what they sent over.
10:48 So I'm assigning them to you. Is that okay?
10:50 Of course!
10:52 He wants to meet tonight at the Waterford International's restaurant.
10:56 We went ahead and made a reservation for you at 6. So don't be late.
11:00 I'll leave right after visiting Max.
11:03 Sounds great, Zoe. Thanks again.
11:05 And if you nail this, I think a fat bonus might be in your future.
11:09 I won't let us down.
11:11 Okay.
11:17 Zoe had been looking for an opportunity to prove herself at work.
11:21 But little did Zoe know that this job was about to become incredibly complicated.
11:26 A dining room situation.
11:41 Despite being in a suit, rather than his doctor's coat,
11:45 Blaine looked just as poised and professional.
11:48 Come here.
11:52 [phone ringing]
12:03 Hi! This is Zoe Fuller with Talent Interiors.
12:13 How can I help you?
12:14 You can climb out from under the table and discuss what I have planned with your company.
12:18 Um, I'm sorry. I don't understand. Who is this?
12:21 Zoe! Enough games.
12:23 Why on earth did it have to be you?
12:39 I could say the same thing.
12:41 Dr. Dexter, let's not waste any time, shall we?
12:44 Do you have any ideas for your home's design?
12:46 Starting with a blank slate can be so exciting with limitless options.
12:49 Do you prefer more mid-century, modern, gothic, retro?
12:52 And what about furniture? Do you prefer something antique or more trendy?
12:56 And we mustn't forget about colour.
12:58 That'll really set a specific mood.
13:00 I'm in one mood right now, and that's starving.
13:05 We should eat before we work.
13:08 We should eat before we work.
13:11 Sorry. That was rude of me.
13:16 I'm not normally so talkative. I guess I just got nervous.
13:22 That's understandable. Unexpected coincidence, that's all.
13:26 Are you guys ready to order?
13:35 Yes. We'll have the chef's salad to share,
13:39 two of your evening specials,
13:42 and just a mix of your most popular appetizers. Thanks.
13:45 Oh no. I'm not that hungry.
13:47 We have a lot to discuss. Don't worry about it.
13:51 I thought you were the hungry one. Why am I getting all the food?
14:03 Don't worry about me. Just enjoy the free food.
14:06 Look, I know your home is important to you.
14:13 You don't need to make any difficult decisions right now.
14:16 Blaine's intense gaze cut through her like a knife.
14:22 That's not what I'm thinking about.
14:24 Oh. What are you thinking about then?
14:27 Just a long day at work.
14:31 Sure.
14:33 Must be difficult being the guardian between life and death sometimes.
14:37 Seems more like there's more death than life lately.
14:43 Back to your home. What if we...
14:52 [phone rings]
14:54 Hello? Yes, of course.
14:58 Is she prepped for surgery?
15:01 I'll be right there. Is everything okay?
15:03 It will be when I get there.
15:05 We'll talk about my home another time.
15:08 I'll reach out to you.
15:10 As Zoe watched Blaine run off,
15:14 she was reminded when she first saw him.
15:18 [thunder]
15:20 [thunder]
15:22 Just relax. You're safe.
15:34 Despite her injuries from the car accident,
15:37 Zoe felt a sense of relief when Blaine spoke to her.
15:41 Her heart is beating quite fast.
15:44 I'm just nervous.
15:46 I don't know how much this is going to cost.
15:49 Don't worry about that right now. Your health takes priority.
15:52 Any pain?
15:55 Yes. Chest pain.
15:57 How bad?
15:59 Quick.
16:01 May I?
16:03 Blaine had a cold professional demeanor,
16:06 but there was something warmer underneath.
16:09 He wasn't all looks.
16:11 He had a heart, too.
16:13 But only for those he deemed worthy.
16:16 My hand is about to go under your shirt.
16:20 What?
16:22 Unless you'd prefer it be off?
16:26 I just don't see why you have to grope me to give me an exam.
16:30 Zoe, please.
16:35 I'm a professional. I'll be gentle.
16:38 [music]
16:40 Careful. It's cold.
16:52 I'm a doctor, not a masseuse.
16:55 What are you wearing under here?
17:04 I'm asking in case there's anything cutting off circulation to your lungs.
17:09 I'm wearing a bra.
17:12 Okay, I'm going to have to reach under that as well.
17:14 Absolutely not.
17:16 This is a professional procedure. I promise nothing more.
17:19 Unless you want it to be.
17:21 I'm kidding, of course.
17:23 Hurry up and get it over with, okay?
17:29 [music]
17:31 Something I can help you with?
17:46 No.
17:48 It's just I'm shocked that your body isn't as damaged as I thought.
17:56 After such a violent crash, you'd expect to see more breaks and bruises, but...
18:03 The only thing wrong with you is that you're...
18:07 You have a high temperature, fast breathing, and...
18:12 Quick pulse.
18:14 Blaine could feel Zoe's nervousness mounting,
18:17 but he had to maintain a sense of professionalism,
18:20 even though he found her quite attractive.
18:23 Zoe had never had a man be so gentle before.
18:26 No, it's okay.
18:29 Just...
18:31 Go slow.
18:33 [music]
18:35 It was the most intimate she'd been with someone in her whole life,
18:51 and she could hardly contain herself.
18:54 Zoe gathered her belongings and went to pay for the exquisite meal.
19:16 Can I get the bill, please?
19:18 No need, miss. Your date took care of everything.
19:21 It's not my date.
19:24 As Zoe left, she let her mind wander about what could have happened
19:29 if only their lives were just a little different.
19:32 How you doing, partner?
19:36 Blaine, don't stress yourself out for what happened earlier today, you know?
19:43 Doctors aren't gods.
19:45 You did everything you could to save that patient.
19:48 Don't worry, I won't let what happened earlier today affect this operation.
19:52 Well, I mean, you look a whole lot better than you did leaving the hospital yesterday.
19:56 Eh? Did something good happen?
19:59 No, I'm just feeling a lot better now.
20:01 Yeah? All right, man.
20:04 Catch you around.
20:06 Yeah.
20:08 [music]
20:11 [music]
20:13 Blaine tried to ignore the slight ripple in his heart.
20:20 [music]
20:22 [music]
20:24 [music]
20:26 [music]
20:28 [music]
20:30 [music]
20:32 [music]
20:34 [music]
20:36 [music]
20:38 [music]
20:40 [music]
20:42 Hey, Mom.
20:43 Hey, hi.
20:44 I'm just gonna change and then head to my new part-time job, okay?
20:47 Don't wait up for me tonight. I'm not gonna be long. I'm gonna go visit mom.
20:51 Again? This happens every night now.
20:55 No, not till after dinner.
20:57 See?
20:58 See, love?
21:00 Now, maybe you can have two later.
21:03 Zoe, you work too hard.
21:06 You need to take care of yourself.
21:09 Find a good man who will take care of you and Max.
21:12 Yeah, so, Mom and I have been really worried about you.
21:15 So promise me you'll go on this date I'm gonna set up for you.
21:19 Your neighbor, Mrs. Bonando's nephew, is available.
21:22 He's 38, divorced, and a single father.
21:28 I'm too busy, Mom. I have to take care of Max.
21:32 You know, Mom and I advised you to give up the baby.
21:35 And now he's sick and you have this burden.
21:38 Shut up, Ziva. If Max ever heard this--
21:41 No, Zoe, you know I love Max. I just--
21:44 I feel bad for you.
21:46 You work all the time.
21:49 Okay, well, I promise you that as soon as Max's leukemia is cured,
21:54 I will immediately go on as many dates as you can find me.
21:58 Okay?
22:01 Gloria and Ziva looked at each other.
22:04 Neither wanted to say aloud what both were thinking.
22:08 Zoe was putting her life on hold until her son was cured.
22:13 But what if that day never came?
22:15 What would happen to Zoe then?
22:18 I'm sorry.
22:27 Are you Doctor?
22:29 Yes.
22:31 You are very handsome.
22:34 What's your name?
22:35 My name is Max. What's your name?
22:37 I'm Dr. Blaine Dexter.
22:39 Dr. Blaine Dexter?
22:42 You're a brain surgeon that has a penthouse downtown.
22:45 Is your family loaded?
22:47 Kid, are you a detective?
22:49 All the nurses want to marry you, Dr. Dexter.
22:52 Are you single?
22:54 Actually, I have a girlfriend.
22:56 What happened? Is it bad that I have a girlfriend?
22:59 If you were single, I would have introduced you to my mom.
23:03 She works so hard.
23:05 My grandma always says she needs a good man to take care of her.
23:10 I hope I can find a good man, Dr. Dexter.
23:12 I'm sure your mom will find a good man one day.
23:15 If I fall asleep one day and never wake up,
23:19 then my mom will be alone.
23:23 Don't worry, buddy. It'll get better soon.
23:25 Max!
23:27 There you are. I've been looking all over for you.
23:29 Come on, back to your room.
23:31 Hey, can you tell me what's going on with the little guy?
23:35 Leukemia. It's so sad.
23:37 His family's been tested. No match just yet.
23:41 Blaine felt an ache around his heart at Luna's answer.
23:45 He knew how difficult it was to find a bone marrow donor.
23:50 I got you.
23:51 You were right. Dr. Dexter is very handsome.
23:54 No, you and Dr. Dexter kind of look alike.
23:57 'Cause we're both very handsome.
24:01 Max!
24:03 Mom!
24:06 Oh, you have to stay in your room, okay?
24:10 Stay in my room.
24:12 Okay.
24:14 Stay in my room.
24:15 Oh, my silly goose.
24:17 Hello?
24:32 Do you have time to show me the space this week, Dr. Dexter?
24:38 I need to get a layout of the space and take measurements.
24:42 I'm about to go into surgery. Meet me at the hospital at 4 p.m.
24:45 Okay.
24:47 Zoe would have preferred Blaine to contact her.
24:52 But she knew Talon would be expecting an update soon.
24:56 And she needed to have something to tell her boss.
24:59 [♪♪♪]
25:02 Kelly, what time is it?
25:18 4:30.
25:21 Let me get Dr. David on the phone. I need to ask a favor.
25:24 Okay.
25:26 [BLANK_AUDIO]
