Short filmTranscript
00:00Dr. Dexter, let's not waste any time, shall we?
00:02Do you have any ideas for your home's design?
00:04Starting with a blank slate can be so exciting with limitless options.
00:07Do you prefer more mid-century, modern, gothic, retro?
00:11And what about furniture? Do you prefer something antique or more trendy?
00:15And we mustn't forget about color. That'll really set a specific mood.
00:20I'm in one mood right now, and that's... starving.
00:24We should... eat before we work.
00:27Sorry. That was rude of me. I'm... not normally so talkative.
00:33I guess I just got nervous.
00:35It's understandable.
00:38Unexpected coincidence, that's all.
00:47Hey, are you guys ready to order?
00:49Yes. We'll have the chef's salad to share.
00:54Two of your evening specials, and just a mix of your most popular appetizers. Thanks.
01:00Oh, no. I'm not that hungry.
01:02We have a lot to discuss. Don't worry about it.
01:15I thought you were the hungry one. Why am I getting all the food?
01:18Don't worry about me. Just enjoy the free food. Alright?
01:24Look, I know your home is important to you.
01:27You don't need to make any difficult decisions right now.
01:32Blaine's intense gaze cut through her like a knife.
01:36That's not what I'm thinking about.
01:38Oh. What are you thinking about then?
01:41Just a long day at work.
01:45I'm sure.
01:47Must be difficult being the guardian between life and death sometimes.
01:52Seems more like there's more death than life lately.
02:04Back to your home. What if we...
02:06Hello?
02:08Yes, of course.
02:11Is she prepped for surgery?
02:13I'll be right there.
02:15Is everything okay?
02:17It will be when I get there.
02:20We'll talk about my home another time.
02:22I'll reach out to you.
02:25As Zoe watched Blaine run off,
02:27she was reminded when she first saw him.
02:45Just relax. You're safe now.
02:48Despite her injuries from the car accident,
02:51Zoe felt a sense of relief when Blaine spoke to her.
02:56Your heart is beating quite fast.
02:58I'm just nervous.
03:00I don't know how much this is going to cost.
03:03Don't worry about that right now.
03:05Your health takes priority.
03:07Any pain?
03:09Yes. Chest pain.
03:11How bad?
03:13Quick.
03:15May I?
03:18Blaine had a cold, professional demeanor.
03:21But there was something warmer underneath.
03:24He wasn't all looks.
03:26He had a heart, too.
03:28But only for those he deemed worthy.
03:44Something I can help you with?
03:47No.
03:49It's just I'm shocked
03:51that your body isn't as damaged as I thought.
03:56After such a violent crash,
03:58you'd expect to see more
04:00breaks and bruises,
04:02but the only thing wrong with you
04:05is that you have a high temperature,
04:08fast breathing,
04:10and a quick pulse.
04:14Blaine could feel Zoe's nervousness
04:17mounting, but he had to maintain
04:19a sense of professionalism,
04:21even though he found her quite attractive.
04:23Zoe had never had a man
04:25be so gentle before.
04:27No, it's okay.
04:29Just...
04:31Go slow.
04:47It was the most intimate
04:49she'd been with someone
04:51in her whole life,
04:53and she could hardly contain herself.
05:11Zoe gathered her belongings
05:13and went to pay
05:16Can I get the bill, please?
05:18No need, miss.
05:20Your date took care of everything.
05:22It's not my date.
05:24As Zoe left,
05:26she let her mind wander
05:28about what could have happened
05:30if only their lives
05:32were just a little different.
05:34How you doing, partner?
05:39Blaine, don't stress yourself out
05:41for what happened earlier today, you know?
05:43Doctors aren't gods.
05:45You did everything you could to save that patient.
05:47Don't worry, I won't let what happened earlier today
05:49affect this operation.
05:51Well, I mean, you look a whole lot better
05:53than you did leaving the hospital yesterday.
05:55Eh? Did something good happen?
05:59No, I'm just feeling a lot better now.
06:01Yeah? Alright, man.
06:03Catch you around.
06:15Blaine tried to ignore
06:17the slight ripple in his heart.
06:41Hey, Mom.
06:44I'm just going to change
06:46and then head to my new part-time job, okay?
06:48Don't wait up for me tonight.
06:50I'm not going to be long.
06:52I'm going to go visit Mom.
06:54Again? This happens every night now.
06:56No, not till after dinner.
06:58Mom!
07:00Maybe you can have two later.
07:04Zoe, you work too hard.
07:06You need to take care of yourself.
07:08Find a good man
07:10who will take care of you and Max.
07:13Mom and I have been really worried about you.
07:15So promise me you'll go on this date
07:17I'm going to set up for you.
07:19Our neighbor, Mrs. Bonando's nephew,
07:21is available.
07:23He's 38,
07:25divorced,
07:27and a single father.
07:29I'm too busy, Mom. I have to take care of Max.
07:31You know, Mom and I
07:33advised you to give up the baby
07:35and now he's sick and you have this burden.
07:37Shut up, Ziva.
07:39If Max ever heard this...
07:42Zoe, you know I love Max.
07:44I just... I feel bad for you.
07:46You work all the time.
07:48Okay.
07:50Well, I promise you that
07:52as soon as Max's leukemia is cured
07:54I will immediately
07:56go on as many dates as you can find me.
07:58Okay?
08:02Gloria and Ziva looked at each other.
08:04Neither wanted to say aloud
08:06what both were thinking.
08:08Zoe was putting her life on hold
08:11until her son was cured.
08:13But what if that day never came?
08:15What would happen to Zoe then?
08:21I'm sorry.
08:25Are you a doctor?
08:27Yes.
08:29You are very handsome.
08:31What's your name?
08:33My name is Max. What's your name?
08:35I'm Dr. Blaine Dexter.
08:37Dr. Blaine Dexter?
08:39You're the brain surgeon
08:41that has a penthouse downtown.
08:43Is your family loaded?
08:45Kid, are you a detective?
08:47All the nurses want to marry you, Dr. Dexter.
08:49Are you single?
08:51Actually, I have a girlfriend.
08:53What happened?
08:55Is it bad that I have a girlfriend?
08:57If you were single,
08:59I would have introduced you to my mom.
09:01She works so hard.
09:03My grandma always says
09:05she needs a good man to take care of her.
09:08I hope I can find a good man, Dr. Dexter.
09:10I'm sure your mom will find a good man one day.
09:12If I fall asleep one day
09:14and never wake up,
09:16then my mom will be alone.
09:20Don't worry, buddy. You'll get better soon.
09:22Max!
09:24There you are. I've been looking all over for you.
09:26Come on, back to your room.
09:28Hey, can you tell me
09:30what's going on with the little guy?
09:32Leukemia. It's so sad.
09:34The whole family's been tested.
09:37Blaine felt an ache
09:39around his heart
09:41at Luna's answer.
09:43He knew how difficult it was
09:45to find a bone marrow donor.
09:47I got you.
09:49You were right. Dr. Dexter is very handsome.
09:51I know.
09:53You and Dr. Dexter kind of look alike.
09:55Because we're both very handsome.
09:59Max!
10:01Mom!
10:04You have to stay in your room, okay?
10:08Stay in my room.
10:10Stay in my room.
10:12Oh, my silly goose.
10:28Hello?
10:30Do you
10:33have time to show me the space
10:35this week, Dr. Dexter?
10:37I need to get a layout of the space
10:39and take measurements.
10:41I'm about to go into surgery. Meet me at the hospital at 4 p.m.
10:43Okay.
10:47Zoe would have preferred Blaine to contact her.
10:49But she knew
10:51Talon would be expecting an update soon.
10:53And she needed to have
10:55something to tell her boss.
11:03Kelly, what time is it?
11:054.30.
11:07Let me get
11:09Dr. David on the phone.
11:11I need to ask a favor.
11:13Okay.
11:15Hi, Mrs. Zoe Fuller?
11:17Yeah.
11:19I'm David. Dr. Dexter wanted me
11:21to give these keys to you for his apartment.
11:23And I'd like to ask you
11:25if you'd be so kind
11:27to give them to Dr. David.
11:29Okay.
11:31I'm going to go to his apartment.
11:33Please wait for him there.
11:35And he'll see you there after the surgery.
11:37He must be really eager to get the apartment ready
11:39for his wedding.
11:41Anyways, I gotta go.
11:43Best of luck on your project.
11:45And see you soon.
11:49Why did Blaine Dexter
11:51hand over the keys of his apartment to Zoe
11:53and ask her to wait for him there?
11:55Was Blaine going to reconsider
11:57after knowing Max was actually
12:00Zoe's son?
12:02What is Zoe going to do now?
