00:17Episode 86, Look Out
00:21Zoe and Blaine had things to say to each other. Zoe bit her lip nervously as she encouraged Blaine
00:27to speak first. Zoe decided she needed to build courage before telling Blaine about Max.
00:34She was both excited and fearful to tell him he was a father. Blaine remained silent for a long
00:40moment before saying, Sophia and I have called off our engagement. After saying this, Blaine
00:45quickly glanced at Zoe through the rearview mirror to see her reaction. Zoe's only indication that
00:51she'd heard him was a blank stare. Zoe was stunned. Only an hour earlier, Blaine told Zoe
00:59that he loved her and wouldn't let her get away from him again. Blaine had made his intentions
01:04towards her so clear that Zoe had forgotten he still had a fiancé. She couldn't help but feel
01:10apologetic when Zoe didn't say anything. Blaine frowned unhappily. I thought you would have more
01:17of a reaction to this news, but you don't seem to care too much. Perhaps I was too hasty in
01:22calling off the engagement. Zoe scowled at him in displeasure. He was misinterpreting her silence.
01:29I feel sorry for Sophia. That's all. The cancelled engagement is my fault.
01:35Blaine glanced back at her, then nodded in acknowledgement.
01:40I understand because you have a big heart, but this is not your issue.
01:44Zoe, you do not need to apologize. The matter is between Sophia and me and has nothing to do with
01:51you. Zoe tilted her head and looked at him, her brows slightly raised. You mean that you didn't
01:58cancel the engagement with her because of me? I cancelled the engagement because I didn't love her.
02:04Blaine said I never did. Someone had already stolen my heart long before I ever met Sophia.
02:11Honestly, the two of us didn't stand a chance, even if you hadn't come back into my life.
02:18So he smiled, a bit relieved by his answer. You thought you should have loved her, right?
02:25The first time I met Sophia, I thought that she was lovely. You two seemed like the perfect match,
02:33and it was the first time I'd ever seen you act like such a gentleman.
02:37Zoe smiled bitterly. The Blaine I knew was always a cool, indifferent man,
02:43barely giving any woman who showed him interest a smile or a kind word. He had a nasty tongue
02:49and could be harsh, bordering on fierce. But you treated Sophia differently. You were gentle
02:56and considerate. When the waiter approached us for our order, the night I met her,
03:02you asked her what she would like to eat. Zoe bit her lip again and continued,
03:08you never treated me that way, even when we were together. You never asked me what I would like
03:14to eat. Even at our first client dinner, you didn't ask me what I wanted. And it had been
03:21for years. You didn't even ask. Out of basic politeness, it seemed like... Zoe hesitated.
03:29It seemed like you really liked her. That Sophia was special to you, right?
03:34Blaine raised his eyebrows in amusement. You still remember all of this? No wonder some say
03:40that women like to settle old scores with men, remembering every past discretion to use against
03:45them later. Zoe pouted. You're admitting she was special, if you don't answer my question directly.
03:53She couldn't help feeling disappointed. Don't pout, Zoe, Blaine told her with a smile,
03:59clearly pleased that she'd been bothered by this. Okay, look, think about how you act around
04:06a stranger. You are polite and amiable. You'll ask what the person wants and what she likes to eat,
04:13because you don't know. You would only act this way in front of someone you didn't know well.
04:20Do you understand what I'm getting at, Zoe? Zoe smiled. I understand. She was pleased with his
04:26explanation. The difference was that Blaine could be himself around Zoe because he was comfortable
04:32with her. As for what you wanted to eat? Blaine glanced at her in the rearview mirror before
04:38smiling as he flicked on his turn signal and stopped at the red light. Was there one thing
04:44I ordered that night that you didn't like? Zoe's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes were burning and
04:50she nearly burst into tears. What about you? What did you want to tell me? Blaine asked as
04:57he pulled out to make his turn. Zoe took a deep breath, trying to ease her tension.
05:03I wanted to tell you. Before Zoe could finish, she was distracted when she saw an oil tanker
05:09truck suddenly jump lanes as it headed towards the intersection amid the sound of honking horns.
05:16The tanker seemed to be out of control. It was going so fast that Blaine had no time to get out
05:22of the way. Look out! So he screamed in fright. Hey! A loud crash was heard, accompanied by the
05:29ear-piercing screeches of brakes as the tanker collided with them, pushing Blaine's car flying
05:35across the intersection before they all slammed into a streetlight. Ziva was on the phone with
05:41Sophia. As the cab she was in crawled through traffic. Don't rush me, Sophia. I can't do
05:48anything about a traffic jam. I'll be there soon. Ziva told her, a bit exasperated. Why is it taking
05:56you so long to get here? Sophia grumbled in dissatisfaction as she scanned the festival,
06:02attempting to locate Blaine and Zoe. They were nowhere to be seen, Sophia swore to herself.
06:09They must have left before Ziva had a chance to see them together. There seems to be a car
06:15accident up ahead. Traffic is being diverted. It looks like there's been a serious accident.
06:21Ziva craned her neck to see better what was going on. All right, Sophia. Stop rushing me.
06:28I'll be there as soon as possible. Ziva hung up and heard the taxi driver say anxiously,
06:34looks like a tanker hit a car up ahead. We need to hurry up and leave. It could explode any time.
06:41Really? Ziva was wide-eyed as she saw all the cars and people trying to detour away from the accident.
06:49They were close enough. Now she could smell the pungent smell of oil.
06:55Well, then, quick, let's hurry up and get out of here. Ziva told the driver anxiously as the
07:03taxi driver tried to get over. Ziva tried to get a better look at the crash. I don't see
07:09any emergency vehicles. It must have just happened. Someone must have called 911 already, right?
07:18Who knows? Everyone seems just to be worrying about getting out of here themselves.
07:24As the cabbie said this, he stepped on the gas and rushed forward. As the cab drove past the
07:30tanker, it gradually became possible to see the body of the vehicle with which the tanker had
07:35collided. It was a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Phantom was among the rarest and most expensive
07:42cars in the world, and this car seemed familiar. A shiver of horror went down Ziva's spine.
07:48She craned her neck harder to see, and that's when she saw him. Dr. Dexter was in the driver's seat.
07:55The vehicle's windows had shattered and the airbag had deployed, trapping him. The front
08:01hood was crushed and Ziva saw blood dripping down the side of Blaine's head.
08:06Zoe! Max Blaine shouted inside the car as he tried desperately to shove the airbag around him away
08:13so he could see into the back seat. He reached behind his seat to feel around.
08:19When Blaine felt warm blood on his hand, he began shouting again. Zoe! Max! Max!
08:30Blaine cursed loudly. His eyes were bloodshot as he tried to struggle free from the airbag.
08:35However, to no avail. He was trapped. One of the tanker's doors had flown off and his legs
08:41were trapped by it and the airbag. Damn it. Blaine could smell the oil. He knew if they
08:48didn't get out soon, the tanker would explode and they could all die. Zoe! Zoe!
08:56Blaine called out to her, trying to wake her. Inside the taxi, Ziva screamed at the driver.
09:03Stop! You have to stop right now! She hurriedly slapped the cabby seat back.
09:09Hurry! Stop the taxi, lady! Are you crazy? That's suicide! Do you have a death wish?
09:16The driver yelled back. If I tell you to stop, you stop! Hurry up! As she spoke,
09:22she took out her cell phone and dialed 911, quickly reporting to them what had happened.
09:29The taxi stopped and Ziva leapt out of the vehicle. As the driver sped away, Ziva rushed
09:35over to the phantom. Dr. Dexter, Ziva anxiously called out to Blaine. Her eyes were wet with
09:41frantic tears. Dr. Dexter, are you all right? Let me help you out. Blaine was shocked when he saw
09:49Ziva. Then he hurriedly said, your sister, your sister and Max are behind me in the back seat.
09:56You have to save them first. A cold sweat covered Blaine's forehead. He panted and clenched his
10:03teeth, enduring the pain in his legs as he spoke to Ziva. His chest was heaving violently due to
10:09his labored breathing. My sister, Ziva, looked at Blaine in astonishment. Then panic hit. Ziva
10:16quickly opened the back door of the car and saw Zoe lying over Max's car seat. Obviously,
10:23she tried to protect him from the impact. Glass covered her sister's back and blood dripped from
10:29her forehead. She had passed out. Max was beneath her, still strapped into his car seat. He looked
10:36pale and was also unconscious. How could this be? Ziva was utterly flustered. Tell me, Dr. Dexter,
10:44what should I do? What should I do? Ziva cried out. She stood frozen beside the car
10:51and didn't dare to move. Don't panic. I'll teach you. Blaine kept his voice steady and soothing to
10:57calm the panicking Ziva. Ziva's flustered heart seemed to calm down. Don't move them.
11:05Tell me about their injuries because Blaine was trapped in the front seat and couldn't see behind
11:10himself. He hadn't been able to assess their injuries. Ziva replied tearfully. My sister's
11:17back is covered in glass and her forehead is bleeding. Both of them are unconscious. I can't
11:23see if Max has injuries because Zoe's body is covering his and he's stuck in the car seat.
11:28Okay, listen. Save the person. You can get to the easiest first. Zoe isn't stuck, so move her out
11:37first. Blaine instructed Ziva calmly and clearly, despite his pain. Be careful when you pull Zoe
11:44out in case she has internal injuries that aren't visible. All right. Ziva gritted her teeth, bent
11:51her body and got into the car. Sis, you have to hold on. You and Max will be fine. Ziva cried as
12:00she tried to get Zoe out of the car quickly. Blaine could see a sliver of Max's pale face when
12:06Ziva pulled Zoe out of the car. Blaine's heart suddenly hurt. Dr. Dexter will not let anything
12:13happen to you, Max. Hang on, buddy. Blaine called out, trying to assure himself he exerted all his
12:21strength to push on the tanker door. Veins popped out of his forehead and arms due to his exertion.
12:28Dark red blood flowed along. His muscles crack. Blaine had slightly shifted the door. Blaine
12:35gritted his teeth painfully as he took a deep breath and continued to push. Dr. Dexter, I'll
12:41help you. Ziva had already moved her unconscious sister 100 M away and ran back. No need. Quick,
12:49get Max out first. He's more important than me. Blaine clenched his teeth and refused. Exiv's eyes
12:56reddened as she bit her lower lip. Still, she hardened her heart and went around to the back
13:02of the car to help her nephew while trying to release Max from his car seat. Ziva shouted
13:08towards the outside of the vehicle. Someone help. Help us. Anyone, someone please help us.
13:16However, no one came, no matter how loud Ziva shouted. Every car hurried by in an attempt to
13:22avoid the oil tanker. Ziva cried even harder. Sweat dripped down Blaine's forehead. He gritted
13:29his teeth to comfort Ziva. Don't cry. Don't waste your energy crying right now. Max requires all of
13:36your strength. All right. Ziva nodded with tears in her eyes. Ah. Blaine continued to push the door
13:45on his body with all his strength. The door wobbled and there was a grinding sound. You've almost got
13:52it, Dr. Dexter. Ziva shouted. Soon, soon. You should hurry up too, Blaine urged her. We don't
14:02have any time to lose. The tanker could explode at any moment. As he spoke, he gritted his teeth
14:08and exerted his strength. Bang. The door fell away from his body with a large crash.
14:15Finally, Blaine was free. At the same time, Ziva managed to disconnect the mangled car seat so she
14:22could unstrap her nephew. Max. Max. She called out as she lifted him and saw Max's pale face.
14:31Ziva couldn't see any injuries on him except for some cuts.
14:35Thank God. She hugged Max and kissed his forehead a few times. Thankfully. At that moment, a police
14:43car suddenly appeared and stopped one hundred mile away. Two police officers quickly got out
14:48of their cruiser and ran towards the Phantom. The police officers lifted the injured Blaine
14:53and promptly dragged him out of the vehicle. Hurry. The tanker is about to explode. One of
15:00the officers shouted at Ziva. Ziva hugged Max closely to her body and hurried to catch up with
15:06Blaine and the police officers. Their small group had run barely fifty when suddenly the tanker
15:14exploded. Episode 87. A Terrible Decision
15:20Boom. A deafening explosion sounded as the oil tanker exploded. Sparks flew in all directions
15:26and a fiery light illuminated the sky. The sky was red as blood and the urgent sirens of the
15:32approaching firetrucks echoed through the streets. The sound of the explosion made Zoe cry out.
15:39She stirred fitfully, unaware of where she was and what was happening. Before fainting again,
15:46thankfully not unable to witness the frightening scene unfolding around her,
15:50the explosion knocked Blaine and Ziva off their feet, throwing them to the ground.
15:56Blaine rose to his knees, frantically searching for Ziva and Max as flaming debris rained down
16:02on the scene. He spotted Ziva about fifteen away, clutching Max to her chest as she looked around
16:09in fear and confusion. Quick, Ziva. Run. We need to get further away in case there's another
16:16explosion. Blaine shouted at her, hearing this warning. Ziva didn't even have time to think
16:23before she leapt up, gripping Max tightly to her chest. Boom. A second explosion rocked the street.
16:31This one was weaker than the first blast, but it didn't matter. It was powerful enough to send
16:38Blaine's phantom spinning out of the wreckage as it blew off the car's doors. Ziva. Look out. Look
16:45out. Screams of warning rang out around Ziva, but she didn't have time to run before she saw what
16:51looked like a fireball headed straight for her. Ziva screamed in panic and instinctively bent her
16:58body to protect Max. Bang. Ziva felt something heavy push her to the ground, and then burning
17:05pain shot through her back and legs. It was so painful that she thought she was about to die.
17:11Ziva could feel Max in her arms, but couldn't feel her legs as she began to lose consciousness
17:16right before she fainted. Ziva saw Blaine charging toward her, and then she felt nothing. Woo, woo,
17:23woo, woo, woo. The two ambulances sped to the hospital with their lights and sirens blaring,
17:30Zoe and Ziva in one, Blaine and Max in the other. Blaine lay on the stretcher. The paramedic was
17:39treating his injuries. There was a burning pain in his back. He had cuts from flying glass and
17:46his legs were badly bruised. He rubbed his head and gave a muffled grunt. How is the boy? He
17:53nervously asked the paramedic treating him. The man nodded his head as he quickly worked.
17:58His situation is still uncertain. He suffered several wounds to the head and remains unconscious.
18:05He'll need a CAIT scan as soon as we arrive at St. Mary's. Blaine's heart skipped a beat and he stood
18:11up from the bed. Let me see, Dr. Dexter. You're injured. The paramedic reminded Blaine nervously.
18:19My injuries are nothing. I need to examine the boy. Blaine braced himself as he moved with
18:26difficulty to Max's stretcher. He took the medical flashlight from the paramedic and opened Max's
18:32eyes to check his pupils. Blaine leaned closer to his ear with brows knitted and urgently to him.
18:40Max, can you hear Dr. Dexter's voice? Listen to my voice. Grab my hand if you can hear me.
18:48As he said this, Blaine put his big finger into Max's soft little hand. There were beads of sweat
18:54on Blaine's forehead and his eyes were bloodshot. He spoke to Max in a hoarse voice. You have to be
19:01strong. Little man, you have to be strong for your mommy. Mom's waiting for you, you know.
19:10Come show me how strong you are. Squeeze my hand. After Blaine said this, he felt the soft hand
19:16holding his finger move a little. He reacted. Blaine's face reflected his happiness. He excitedly
19:23kissed Max on the forehead. Buddy, you are just like your mother. Strong and stubborn. Everything
19:32will be fine. I'm right here with you. The paramedic smiled as he looked first at Blaine, then Max,
19:39then back at Blaine before saying, hey Dr. Dexter, this boy looks just like you. He could be your son.
19:47Blaine was slightly shocked. Really? His big warm hand gently stroked Max's shiny little head
19:55and a faint smile appeared on Blaine's face. I'd be lucky to have him as my son. I like him a lot.
20:02Blaine felt an indescribable fondness for this child he had from their first meeting.
20:08Zooey had asked Blaine if he liked Max. At that moment, he had growled about Max being the son
20:14of a love rival, but honestly, he couldn't care less. The paramedic told him, you'll be a great
20:21dad, Dr. Dexter. Blaine smiled faintly and asked the man, how was his mother? The mother is like
20:29you. Overall, her injuries are minor. She got lucky. Her wounds are superficial. Did you ensure
20:38the paramedics noted that she may be pregnant? Blaine asked him. Many drugs cannot be given to
20:45expectant mothers. Yes, I gave them your warning. They have noted on her chart that special
20:52precautions should be taken. The paramedic replied reassuringly, what about the other woman?
20:59Her sister? How is she? Blaine asked. The paramedic's face fell. He hesitated for a moment,
21:06then answered Blaine truthfully. Her situation is critical. Blaine frowned. What's the situation?
21:15Her legs are fractured and the burns to her lower body are severe. The paramedic informed him,
21:21there are a few burns on her face, but those aren't as serious. She remains unconscious
21:27and her heartbeat is erratic. That was everything he knew. Blaine frowned but remained silent.
21:36The severity of Zevon's injuries exceeded Blaine's expectations and he was worried. When Blaine
21:42entered the hospital, it was bustling. Josie spotted him and came running over Dr. Dexter.
21:49Oh my God, what happened to you? Josie looked at the bloody and battered Blaine in shock.
21:55I'm fine. Zeva and Max are the ones who need help. Blaine ran alongside the stretchers as
22:01Zeva and Max were pushed into the EER-ER. Find Dr. Wong. Josie. Zeva is badly burned and he's
22:10the expert. Joy ran off to do Blaine's bidding. Blaine wanted the best. They had to treat Zeva
22:17injuries. After Max finished his scan, Josie, Ramona, and David pushed him toward the operating
22:25room. Blaine quickly followed them into the elevator. I'm going with you, Dr. Dexter.
22:32You're injured. You need to rest. Don't think you're superhuman. Ramona's heart ached for him.
22:40I'm fine. Blaine refused. He lowered his head and gazed at Max. I need to stay with Max before we
22:48went out to play. I promised his mother I would take good care of him. Zoe woke up in a hospital
22:54bed. Her palms were clammy and her back was drenched with sweat. She looked around in confusion.
23:01Then Zoe remembered the accident. Her face went deathly pale as she frantically pushed the buzzer
23:07for the nurse. When the woman entered, Zoe anxiously asked, Nurse, where is my son and Dr.
23:15Dexter? We were in an accident. Where are they now? Where are they? Ms. Fuller, please try to stay
23:23calm. Your son is in the ER, and Dr. Dexter is with him personally supervising your son's treatment.
23:30Like you, Dr. Dexter only suffered superficial wounds. As for the nurse paused nervously,
23:36glancing at the anxious Zoe. The woman was conflicted about how much to tell Zoe,
23:42but knew she needed to know. As for what? What? So he urged her on. The nurse looked at Zoe
23:50sympathetically as she gently continued. As for your sister, her condition is critical.
23:57My sister Zoe was wide-eyed with shock. She immediately sat up and grabbed the nurse's
24:02hand nervously. My sister. But my sister wasn't in the car with us. How did my sister get injured?
24:10Ziva. Ziva wasn't even with us. I don't know all the details. The nurse said,
24:17all I know is that it seems your sister came to help you. Then the tanker exploded and she was
24:24hurt by the explosion. Zoe burst into tears. What happened to her? How was my sister injured?
24:32The nurse pursed her lips and shook her head. It's not ideal. Both of her legs are fractured
24:38and there are burns to her body and face. The attending physician will be able to provide you
24:43with more details as they become available. Zoe's face turned deathly white. She almost fainted on
24:50the spot. She ripped the IV out of her arm, got out of bed and ran out. Miss Fuller, what are you
24:59doing? Your doctor ordered you to be given eye fluids. You're severely dehydrated. The nurse
25:09anxiously chased after Zoe. Zoe suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the nurse with tears
25:15in her eyes. Where is my sister? I need to know where to go. Miss Fuller, finish the IV at first.
25:23The nurse pleaded, tell me. Where is my sister? Zoe cried out frantically as she raised her voice.
25:31The nurse didn't say anything else when she saw Zoe's sad state.
25:36She's been taken into surgery on the fifth floor. Zoe thanked her and ran straight to the fifth
25:42floor. She was on the third floor and didn't even wait for the busy elevator. Zoe ran up the stairs
25:48barefoot. This couldn't be happening, so he thought as she paced in the waiting room. Zoe's entire
25:54family was in the hospital. Her mother was still in the IQ and her sister and son were both in
26:00surgery. Every nerve in Zoe's body felt electrified. How much more of this could she
26:06take? If this carried on, Zoe thought she would go crazy. Suddenly, the operating room door opened
26:14and a nurse hurriedly walked into the waiting room, clutching a clipboard. I'm looking for the
26:19family of Ziva Fuller. Anyone, that's me. I am Ziva, sister. Zoe said as she rushed towards the nurse.
26:27Nurse, how is my sister? The nurse glanced at Zoe and asked. You said you're Ziva's sister?
26:34Yes, yes, her big sister. Zoe nodded. The nurse handed the clipboard to Zoe. Your sister has
26:41suffered severe damage to both her legs. The major arteries in her left leg are damaged beyond repair
26:47and she's bleeding profusely. To protect her life, we need to amputate her leg immediately.
26:54Amputate. Zoe's eyes went cloudy and she nearly fainted when she heard this.
26:59Fortunately, the nurse reacted quickly and supported her. Miss Fuller, are you all right?
27:06Amputation surgery? How? How is this possible? Zoe was inconsolable. She held onto the nurse's hand,
27:16sobbing. No amputation. Please don't amputate my sister. My sister is only 20. You can't do this.
27:25I beg you, please save my sister. She's so young. If she loses her leg, what will happen to her?
27:32Zoe was sobbing uncontrollably, and amputation was such a cruel thing for anyone.
27:38And this was Zoe's baby sister. Miss Fuller, please don't be like this. If there were any
27:43other way, we wouldn't ask this of you. But there is no other way. If we don't hurry up and amputate,
27:50your sister may die. Do you understand? the nurse pleaded. How? How could this be?
27:59How could this be? Zoe swayed, her knees weak before she slumped to the floor, no longer able
28:06to hold herself up in a standing position. Zoe kneeled on the floor, paralyzed by indecision,
28:13her face pale and her eyes glassy. Only her tears kept flowing. Impossible, impossible,
28:22impossible. I need you to make your decision, the nurse urged. Zoe buried her face in her palms
28:29as she cried. Let me think. Let me think. Thank you so much for watching.
