AMY: So,
Betsy, why am I doing this?
2
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:39,318
BETSY: You're tired, stressed,
3
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,199
and they're about to carry
your overworked butt
4
00:01:41,209 --> 00:01:43,720
out of the office on a stretcher
if you don't get some rest.
5
00:01:43,739 --> 00:01:45,970
Besides, Duncan can
take care of things.
6
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:47,459
Duncan? Are you kidding me?
7
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:50,080
He is your partner and,
believe it or not,
8
00:01:50,089 --> 00:01:52,239
he is just as worried
about you as I am.
9
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:55,989
Go. This is a vacation.
You're late already.
10
00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:57,889
I'm not going to let you
put this off this time.
11
00:01:57,913 --> 00:01:59,891
Okay, okay.
I'm not going to put it off.
12
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:03,000
But I am taking those plans
13
00:02:03,089 --> 00:02:04,410
because they're not good enough.
14
00:02:04,459 --> 00:02:06,579
Now, how do you know that this
spa is any good anyway?
15
00:02:06,639 --> 00:02:10,034
Fine. I'm fine.
16
00:02:11,250 --> 00:02:12,830
Don't forget to exercise.
17
00:02:12,889 --> 00:02:15,249
Exercise?
Exercise is not rest.
18
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:16,479
Are you sure you
know where you're going?
19
00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:19,029
Yes, I know where I'm going.
I'm very good with directions.
20
00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:23,229
AMY: Betsy, I'm completely
lost. I'm sorry.
21
00:02:25,119 --> 00:02:26,660
I thought I was on 128,
22
00:02:26,669 --> 00:02:30,380
but I'm in the middle of the
dark woods and I don't like it.
23
00:02:34,343 --> 00:02:36,360
Yeah. Hang on a second.
24
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:38,710
Okay, wait.
I've got... I've got the map.
25
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,869
I've got the map in front of
me, and you know what?
26
00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:43,330
There's...
There's no Bear Mountain.
27
00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:45,679
There's no sign. I've been
looking for the sign.
28
00:02:46,779 --> 00:02:48,540
Yeah, I did. I'm...
29
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:52,160
Oh, wow. Wait.
There's the sign. I got it.
30
00:02:52,169 --> 00:02:54,330
All right.
I'll see you in a week.
31
00:02:54,354 --> 00:02:56,899

in the timber lodge,

like, a quick fix.

Do you have anything
that involves just lying down?

40
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,279
Yeah. I'll have one a day,

off and hop up on the table?

off somewhat deep.

You let me know
if you want anything deeper.
69
00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:07,821
Deeper is good. Where I come
from, all you get is shallow.

There's
the rumble of the subway.

Right in here is the screech of
the wheels 'cause you're late,

have that tension.

00:12:21,645 --> 00:12:24,749
(DEEP VOICE)
And the news is at 11:00.
177
00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:26,445
One of these days,
I'm gonna switch them on you.
178
00:12:26,469 --> 00:12:28,822
Yeah, and one day I'll play
forward for the New York Rangers.
179
00:12:28,846 --> 00:12:32,158
(CHUCKLES)
180
00:12:32,390 --> 00:12:33,895
JENNIE: You know,
you need better jokes.
181
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:35,090
VIRGIL: Or a new sister.
182
00:12:35,260 --> 00:12:37,559
Mmm, I'd work on
the jokes if I were you.
183
00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:41,169
Aren't you gonna stay
and watch some hockey?
184
00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:43,460
You want to grade
some spelling tests?
185
00:12:44,090 --> 00:12:45,570
I'll be next
door if you need me.
186
00:12:46,169 --> 00:12:47,409
Okay. Thanks a lot.
187
00:12:49,130 --> 00:12:53,719
So, this girl, I talked to her
a long time at the bus stop.
188
00:12:56,380 --> 00:12:57,640
She thought I could see.
189
00:13:02,190 --> 00:13:03,859
I really love coffee cake.
190
00:13:34,806 --> 00:13:38,119
Ahhh! Oh!
191
00:13:38,143 --> 00:13:39,560
Whoa!
192
00:13:39,686 --> 00:13:41,062
Oh, shoot.
193
00:13:41,605 --> 00:13:43,273
Ah!
194
00:13:43,564 --> 00:13:44,900
- Ow!
- (KNOCKING)
195
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,320
Coming. Coming!
Hang on, hang on.
196
00:13:49,344 --> 00:13:51,698
I was... Okay.
197
00:13:51,722 --> 00:13:53,474
- (KNOCKING)
- Coming.
198
00:13:56,018 --> 00:13:57,019
- Hi.
- Oh my God.
199
00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:59,049
Hi.
200
00:13:59,050 --> 00:14:01,210
My turn to apologize.
201
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,780
I should have
told you I was blind.
202
00:14:04,090 --> 00:14:07,739
Well, we're even. Apologies
cancel each other out.
203
00:14:09,429 --> 00:14:10,340
Do you want to come in?
204
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:12,285
- I'm sorry. I just got out of the shower.
- Sure.
205
00:14:12,309 --> 00:14:13,500
I have to get changed.
206
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,830
- I promise I won't look.
- (CHUCKLES) Uh-huh.
207
00:14:19,917 --> 00:14:22,319
Um...
208
00:14:22,369 --> 00:14:24,679
I sort of spilled
some stuff on the floor.
209
00:14:24,690 --> 00:14:26,630
Here, why don't you
sit down on the bed?
210
00:14:27,139 --> 00:14:28,940
And I'm just gonna go change.
Be right back.
211
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,880
All right.
212
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,760
You know,
you didn't have to come
213
00:14:34,770 --> 00:14:37,218
all the way back up
here just to apologize.
214
00:14:37,219 --> 00:14:39,090
I was in the neighborhood.
215
00:14:39,729 --> 00:14:41,309
You were in the neighborhood?
216
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,590
Oh, all right. I'll confess.
217
00:14:43,429 --> 00:14:45,690
I was watching a hockey game
with my dog, and, um...
218
00:14:47,309 --> 00:14:49,589
I don't know.
I was describing you, and...
219
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,380
What?
220
00:14:50,859 --> 00:14:52,590
Yeah, I was
describing you to my dog,
221
00:14:52,599 --> 00:14:56,789
and how great you smelled, and my
sister thought I was describing a cake.
222
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:59,200
Anyway, I just started
thinking of you here...
223
00:14:59,210 --> 00:15:01,229
In the midst of your tofu shake, and...
-(LAUGHS)
224
00:15:01,270 --> 00:15:03,849
Really, really
boring yogurt, and
225
00:15:04,489 --> 00:15:06,400
I thought maybe you'd
want to get some fresh air
226
00:15:06,409 --> 00:15:07,880
and take a walk around town.
227
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,710
See what we see.
228
00:15:09,782 --> 00:15:11,325
See what we see?
229
00:15:12,033 --> 00:15:13,386
Figure of speech.
230
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:16,229
You mean, right here, right now?
231
00:15:16,253 --> 00:15:17,499
Great.
232
00:15:17,549 --> 00:15:19,010
I'm blind and you're deaf.
233
00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:20,510
What a pair!
234
00:15:20,534 --> 00:15:21,774
Fifty-two lampposts, Pinecrest.
235
00:15:22,483 --> 00:15:25,402
Up here on our left
is my sister Jennie's school.
236
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:29,869
She's really
great with these kids.
237
00:15:31,229 --> 00:15:32,869
You see that guy
across the street?
238
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:34,919
Over in the doorway.
239
00:15:35,545 --> 00:15:37,018
He's chain-smoking, right?
240
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:38,760
AMY: Oh, my God, yeah.
241
00:15:38,770 --> 00:15:43,140
Yeah. That's my friend Bruce. We
watch the game together sometimes.
242
00:15:43,164 --> 00:15:43,739
(CAR APPROACHES NOISILY)
243
00:15:43,789 --> 00:15:45,489
Oh, here comes Nancy.
244
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:48,799
She's the librarian. Gets me
any book I want in Braille.
245
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:50,340
- (DOOR OPENS)
- Hey, Nancy.
246
00:15:50,580 --> 00:15:52,969
Hey, Virgil.
I got that book in for you.
247
00:15:52,979 --> 00:15:55,200
Still haven't got
that old jalopy fixed.
248
00:15:55,459 --> 00:15:57,909
No, if I got it fixed,
how would you know it was me?
249
00:15:59,169 --> 00:16:00,859
- Hi.
- Nancy, this is Amy.
250
00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:06,320
Be careful, honey.
He's all hands.
251
00:16:07,464 --> 00:16:09,233
- Be nice!
- Yeah.
252
00:16:09,257 --> 00:16:10,926
(CHUCKLES) Ah.
253
00:16:11,539 --> 00:16:15,089
Nice town you have here. You seem
to be very popular with the ladies.
254
00:16:15,820 --> 00:16:17,650
Oh, yeah.
Moved here when I was eight.
255
00:16:18,940 --> 00:16:21,469
They figured it was a good
place for me to grow up in.
256
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:24,106
It's a bit geriatric,
but it works.
257
00:16:27,219 --> 00:16:29,630
Do you mind me asking
how long you've been blind?
258
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,080
No, not at all.
259
00:16:32,104 --> 00:16:35,107
It started when I was one, and
completely gone by the time I was three.
260
00:16:37,020 --> 00:16:38,909
Congenital cataracts
261
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:41,759
with a healthy dose of retinitis
pigmentosa thrown in for good measure.
262
00:16:43,213 --> 00:16:45,132
So...
263
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:49,289
So you see no bright lights?
Nothing?
264
00:16:49,313 --> 00:16:52,190
Nope. Blind as a bat.
265
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,460
Actually, blinder. Um, Bats emit sonar.
I wish I had that sonar.
266
00:16:57,212 --> 00:16:59,569
I don't have a sixth sense.
I don't have a fifth one.
267
00:16:59,619 --> 00:17:01,460
Never wrote a book
like Helen Keller.
268
00:17:01,979 --> 00:17:04,449
Wish I could play
the piano like Ray Charles.
269
00:17:04,550 --> 00:17:08,670
I really wish I could sing like
Stevie Wonder, but I can't.
270
00:17:09,109 --> 00:17:10,109
Got it.
271
00:17:12,772 --> 00:17:16,358
So, what do you think
of our little sleepy hollow?
272
00:17:18,987 --> 00:17:23,301
It has a very nice feel to it.
Genuine lines. Good use of space.
273
00:17:25,069 --> 00:17:27,520
To be honest, I would have done
something a little bit more stimulating
274
00:17:27,530 --> 00:17:29,610
with some of the newer
buildings, but that's just me.
275
00:17:29,989 --> 00:17:34,610
Wow. What's you? What are you,
a writer for A rchitectural Digest?
276
00:17:36,611 --> 00:17:38,779
Oh, no.
I'm actually an architect.
277
00:17:38,829 --> 00:17:41,530
That's what I do. I have a
partnership in a firm in New York.
278
00:17:41,554 --> 00:17:44,240
- Really?
- Yeah.
279
00:17:44,264 --> 00:17:46,618
Wow.
280
00:17:48,540 --> 00:17:49,689
Well, this is the end.
281
00:17:50,810 --> 00:17:52,189
I guess we should go back.
282
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,030
Well, what's out there
past the end of the street?
283
00:17:56,155 --> 00:17:58,073
Nothing.
284
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:03,189
Well, there is a, um,
285
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,760
an old, run-down building,
off to the left,
286
00:18:05,810 --> 00:18:07,280
kind of like an old gas station.
287
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,530
Would you describe it to me?
288
00:18:13,698 --> 00:18:14,369
Okay.
289
00:18:14,370 --> 00:18:17,090
Um, it's kind of dilapidated,
and it's sitting in between
290
00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:22,910
two great big
trees in a field, and
291
00:18:23,150 --> 00:18:24,909
the trees are sort of
like a man and a woman,
292
00:18:24,910 --> 00:18:26,789
and the man is
asking the woman to dance,
293
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,989
and the woman is
standing on her toes
294
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,819
trying to decide if
she's got the guts.
295
00:18:32,939 --> 00:18:35,219
Oh, God. I'm an idiot.
What a stupid description.
296
00:18:35,468 --> 00:18:37,569
No.
297
00:18:37,619 --> 00:18:39,829
I really like the dancing trees.
298
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,020
We better get going.
It's starting to rain.
299
00:18:49,199 --> 00:18:51,559
- Well, there's a little breeze, but I...
- (THUNDER CRASHES)
300
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:53,160
Oh, my God.
301
00:18:53,184 --> 00:18:54,561
Okay. Oh, my God!
302
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,229
Okay, wait. Let's go this way.
303
00:18:58,253 --> 00:19:00,505
(THUNDERCLAPS CONTINUE)

00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,675
(VIRGIL LAUGHS)
305
00:19:05,677 --> 00:19:06,797
- Oh, my.
- (VIRGIL CHUCKLES)
306
00:19:09,329 --> 00:19:11,270
I can't believe how
fast that happens.
307
00:19:11,299 --> 00:19:13,300
Oh, do you like the rain?
I love the rain.
308
00:19:14,890 --> 00:19:15,900
(SCOFFS) Well, sometimes.
309
00:19:15,924 --> 00:19:18,467
I love the rain.
310
00:19:20,670 --> 00:19:23,000
Oh, you feel everything at once.
311
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:28,239
That's the best way for me to
understand dimension in a room.
312
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,000
Do you hear it?
313
00:19:30,229 --> 00:19:31,831
It's coming down
off the ceiling, on the walls.
314
00:19:31,832 --> 00:19:35,019
(RAIN PATTERING)
315
00:19:35,020 --> 00:19:35,969
VIRGIL: Do you hear that?
316
00:19:35,993 --> 00:19:37,388
(PLOSHING)
317
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:39,739
It's hitting a puddle.
318
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,030
It's echoing the sound across.
There's no walls.
319
00:19:44,906 --> 00:19:45,906
What's that?
320
00:19:48,035 --> 00:19:49,328
- (WATER FLOWING)
- A drainpipe.
321
00:19:49,660 --> 00:19:51,540
Hear that? It's high up.
322
00:19:51,957 --> 00:19:54,251
Rafters?
323
00:19:54,835 --> 00:19:56,086
Yeah.
324
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,489
It's got its own rhythm. You hear that?
Ping, ping, ping.
325
00:20:01,616 --> 00:20:03,201
And that. That sound way up.
326
00:20:06,495 --> 00:20:07,706
Uh...
327
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:10,159
Well, it looks like there's...
328
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,219
No, no. Just listen.
329
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:12,662
Come here. Close your eyes.
330
00:20:16,879 --> 00:20:18,290
Listen with your whole body.
331
00:20:21,859 --> 00:20:24,739
Feel it? Right in your chest.
332
00:20:28,324 --> 00:20:30,326
That's beautiful, that...
333
00:20:32,662 --> 00:20:33,822
Little sound, like a whisper.
334
00:20:36,166 --> 00:20:38,794
Mmm.
335
00:20:39,835 --> 00:20:41,795
It's the wind blowing a branch
across the windows.

I can feel
everything when it rains.
337

I wish it would rain inside.
Rain all around us.
338

Einfuhlung.
339
00:20:54,406 --> 00:20:56,075
What's that?
340
00:20:56,859 --> 00:20:58,670
It's an architectural term.
341
00:20:59,984 --> 00:21:02,109
It means "to share a feeling."
342
00:21:05,709 --> 00:21:08,239
I don't think I've ever
felt it like this before.
343

I wanted you to
know I was smiling.
344

Virgil,
before you lost your sight,
345
00:21:57,930 --> 00:22:01,130
do you remember
seeing anything at all?
346
00:22:03,213 --> 00:22:03,289
I do.
347
00:22:03,329 --> 00:22:04,329
One memory.
348
00:22:07,180 --> 00:22:08,340
People say it's clouds.
349
00:22:10,716 --> 00:22:12,718
But I don't think it was
350
00:22:13,179 --> 00:22:14,359
'cause I could touch it.
351
00:22:15,485 --> 00:22:16,128
It was
352
00:22:16,178 --> 00:22:17,513
a puffy thing.
353
00:22:21,729 --> 00:22:23,189
Must have been important.
354
00:22:24,250 --> 00:22:25,609
It's a good memory.
355
00:22:27,829 --> 00:22:29,540
I remembered it all these years.
356
00:22:31,170 --> 00:22:32,170
How about you?
357
00:22:33,790 --> 00:22:35,239
What's your first memory?
358
00:22:36,657 --> 00:22:38,533
Okay.
359
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,709
I was two, or maybe three.
360
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,219
And I remember being at
the beach with my parents.
361
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:58,640
It was cold outside, so
362
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:03,319
I had to snuggle down between
the both of them in the sand.
363
00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:07,050
And we all watched the sun set
over the horizon.
364
00:23:08,260 --> 00:23:11,489
Horizon, that's a tough one.
365
00:23:11,513 --> 00:23:14,099
If I can't feel it,
I don't know what it is.
366
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,130
It's the line where
the Earth meets the sky.
367
00:23:18,829 --> 00:23:20,130
It's the end of the world.
368
00:23:22,329 --> 00:23:24,410
When I was a kid,
I used to think that
369
00:23:24,420 --> 00:23:26,550
if I walked far enough,
I could actually reach it.
370
00:23:26,574 --> 00:23:30,538
I thought that if
I could stand on it
371
00:23:34,010 --> 00:23:35,699
and just look out over the edge,
372
00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:40,290
that I would be able to see
something more beautiful
373
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,819
than anything I'd ever known.
374
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,530
No one's ever explained
"horizon" to me before
375
00:23:47,540 --> 00:23:48,859
so I could understand it.
376
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:07,439
You're very good at what you do.
377
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,339
It's what I do.
It's what I can do.
378
00:24:12,050 --> 00:24:13,189
Do you enjoy it?
379
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:16,180
Sometimes I enjoy it.
380
00:24:17,410 --> 00:24:19,060
Some times more than others.
381
00:24:21,479 --> 00:24:22,479
This time?
382
00:24:23,761 --> 00:24:25,514
This time,
383
00:24:26,306 --> 00:24:27,986
this time I feel like
I can see everything.
384
00:24:32,938 --> 00:24:33,981
Everything?

just getting started.

Yeah.
393
00:24:51,239 --> 00:24:52,239
Me, too.

Amy?
395
00:25:02,459 --> 00:25:07,150
Because you're a client, I'm not
supposed to get that close to you.
396
00:25:08,569 --> 00:25:09,569
You're not?
397
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,160
So what does that mean?
398
00:25:13,849 --> 00:25:15,489
It means you have
to stop paying me
399
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:18,338
and come over to
my house for dinner, so

Amy. Hey. You're in for a real surprise.
I'm cooking.

you coming over?

I can't come tonight.
I'm so sorry.

00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:48,510
I'm calling you from the road,
actually.

00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,660
I have to go back into the city.
An emergency's come up.
410
00:25:51,949 --> 00:25:54,589
It's just this project
that I'm in charge of
411
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:57,819
is going down the drain, and I
gotta go back in and save it.

I'm... God damn, I'm sorry.
413
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:02,110
But I'm gonna come back, okay?
Okay.

right, Mr. Falk.
419
00:26:20,589 --> 00:26:23,659
Uh, something is missing.
We realize that now.
420
00:26:23,660 --> 00:26:26,369
But we just need some
time to find out what.
421

FALK: (OVER PHONE) Fine, but you all
know what kind of schedule we're on here.
422
00:26:32,209 --> 00:26:34,409
We will... We'll take care of it.
We won't let you down.
423
00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:37,829
Okay. All right. Just...
424
00:26:38,719 --> 00:26:39,829
Don't say it. Don't say it.
425
00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:42,079
I know you were never happy
with the design anyway, so...
426
00:26:42,189 --> 00:26:43,280
I wasn't gonna say it.
427
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,829
Yeah, but you'd have tinkered
with it till it went away, right?
428
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:50,040
And you know what
this means to us.
429
00:26:50,869 --> 00:26:53,810
I know.
I know the whole speech.
430
00:26:54,010 --> 00:26:55,810
All right, good.
Then I won't have to make it.
431
00:26:55,939 --> 00:26:58,369
We've got the guy hooked.
You've got your second chance.
432
00:27:00,010 --> 00:27:02,829
By the way, we all
deserve a second chance.
433
00:27:04,288 --> 00:27:05,422
Okay.
434
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,469
Now, see these two trees?
435
00:27:07,959 --> 00:27:10,560
I think it's time to give them a
second chance. They're gonna stay.
436
00:27:10,569 --> 00:27:12,649
We're gonna design the whole
thing around them. Okay?
437
00:27:13,219 --> 00:27:15,800
They are the most beautiful,
natural thing about the whole place.
438
00:27:15,810 --> 00:27:18,091
And, when I was in the car on
the way back from Pinecrest,
439
00:27:18,180 --> 00:27:20,420
I came up with a new addition
for the Tribeca lobby.
440
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:22,699
It's just gonna add so
much life to the place.
441
00:27:22,709 --> 00:27:25,010
Uh, so what's going on here?
442
00:27:25,189 --> 00:27:27,770
A few days ago, we sent off
Hydra, the three-headed monster,
443
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:30,000
and we get back
Mary Poppins in return?
444
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:32,500
What, I can't have
a couple of ideas?
445
00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:38,310
Okay, okay. You know,
I had my little trip.
446
00:27:38,969 --> 00:27:41,330
I rested. I exercised.

00:27:41,719 --> 00:27:44,630
Thank you very much, Betsy.
And, uh...
448
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,119
Met a guy.
449
00:27:50,109 --> 00:27:52,138
This is too modern for me.
450
00:27:52,139 --> 00:27:53,556
Oh, no. Come on, Betsy.
We're all friends here.
451

sit down or you'll be fired.
452
00:27:58,819 --> 00:28:00,300
You met a guy. That's...

00:28:01,310 --> 00:28:02,910
That's great.
That's really great.
454

- Thank you.
- Super. Yeah.

00:28:05,009 --> 00:28:06,400
So, spill the beans.
456
00:28:06,819 --> 00:28:09,160
Nothing to spill, you know?
He's a great guy.
457
00:28:09,164 --> 00:28:11,918
He's smart, funny, blind.
458
00:28:14,780 --> 00:28:16,559
I thought you said he was blind.
He's blonde?
459
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,160
That, too.

00:28:22,550 --> 00:28:23,550
I'm sorry. That's...

tap-tap-tap blind? Come on.
464
00:28:31,939 --> 00:28:34,969
I know you like a challenge.
Hell, you married me. But...
465
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,366
Okay. Thank you very much
for your understanding, sir.
466
00:28:38,390 --> 00:28:41,309
Okay. It's not...
It's not my problem anymore.
467
00:28:41,780 --> 00:28:43,430
Duncan, don't be a jerk.
468
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:45,359
You still work here?
469
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:55,050
Everyone's gone for the day.
470
00:28:56,530 --> 00:29:00,469
That's okay. I'm just gonna
work here a little bit longer.
471
00:29:00,479 --> 00:29:01,540
Just doing something.
472
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:13,130
What? I just want to
know a little bit more
473
00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:14,729
about the guy.
Is that so wrong?
474
00:29:16,540 --> 00:29:18,910
Listen, my father had a problem
475
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,079
a few years back
with severe cataracts.
476
00:29:21,609 --> 00:29:23,640
Do you have any idea
what you're getting into?
477
00:29:28,060 --> 00:29:30,150
Have you ever
listened to the rain?
478
00:29:31,609 --> 00:29:33,010
I mean, really listened?
479
00:29:33,770 --> 00:29:36,160
This like that
smell-the-roses thing?
480
00:29:36,184 --> 00:29:38,561
No, it is not.
481
00:29:41,180 --> 00:29:44,140
Betsy, I've...
For the past five years,
482
00:29:44,150 --> 00:29:47,390
lived with a man who has the
emotional content of a soap dish.
483
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:49,780
The only time I ever saw him cry
484
00:29:50,089 --> 00:29:53,390
was when he was doing our
tax returns three years ago.
485
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:55,540
I mean, I need more than that.
486
00:29:56,469 --> 00:29:58,319
And there's
something about this guy.
487
00:30:00,639 --> 00:30:02,475
He makes me feel
like I'm waking up
488
00:30:02,709 --> 00:30:04,719
after being
asleep for a long time.
489
00:30:05,349 --> 00:30:07,109
I mean, I'm inspired again.
I can draw again.
490
00:30:08,033 --> 00:30:09,952
And...
491
00:30:11,699 --> 00:30:13,260
The way that he touches me...
492
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:16,400
Oh, here we go, it's the sex.
493
00:30:16,699 --> 00:30:19,920
No, no! No sex. Not yet! No.
494
00:30:21,609 --> 00:30:24,269
It's just that
when he touches me,
495
00:30:24,270 --> 00:30:27,699
I feel like he does
it to know me better,
496
00:30:27,709 --> 00:30:29,510
not to get something from me.
497
00:30:30,410 --> 00:30:33,199
And when he listens to me,
498
00:30:34,030 --> 00:30:36,699
it's as though my words are
the last sounds on the planet.
499
00:30:36,979 --> 00:30:39,160
And even though he doesn't
know what I look like,
500
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,329
I feel like he
really knows who I am.
501
00:30:43,205 --> 00:30:44,749
He just moves me, that's all.
502
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,040
Does he have a brother?
503
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,189
Whoo! Wayne Gretzky, look out!
504
00:31:07,357 --> 00:31:09,734
Amy?
505
00:31:10,979 --> 00:31:12,400
How long have you been here?
506
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,680
About an hour. (LAUGHS)
507
00:31:16,589 --> 00:31:19,630
No. I went up to the lodge
and you weren't there,
508
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,410
so I guessed, and here you are.
509
00:31:23,369 --> 00:31:24,660
You're really good at that.
510
00:31:25,492 --> 00:31:25,912
Thanks.
511
00:31:26,430 --> 00:31:27,709
My dad taught me.
512
00:31:29,449 --> 00:31:31,770
So, how do you like my pond?
513
00:31:32,489 --> 00:31:33,589
It's beautiful.
514
00:31:34,507 --> 00:31:35,760
(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)
515
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,890
I'm so surprised you're here.
You wanna go skating?
516
00:31:40,510 --> 00:31:41,798
I didn't bring any skates.
517
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:43,069
Nah, come on. It's all right.
518
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,989
Wait. What do you mean?
519
00:31:45,819 --> 00:31:47,539
Uh, this is ice.
I don't have any skates.
520
00:31:47,563 --> 00:31:49,198
Come on.
521
00:31:49,310 --> 00:31:51,859
I used to take my sister Jennie
out all the time like this.
522
00:31:52,469 --> 00:31:55,500
Take my stick. Put it
over there on that branch.
523
00:31:55,524 --> 00:31:57,859
Okay.
524
00:31:59,069 --> 00:32:00,069
Yeah? Ready? Okay.
525
00:32:01,339 --> 00:32:04,000
Now, don't think about skating.
526
00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:05,689
Think about gliding.
527
00:32:06,790 --> 00:32:08,859
So, don't think about the ice.
528
00:32:09,020 --> 00:32:10,020
Don't look down.
529
00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:12,439
Take your mind off it.
Tell me about yourself.
530
00:32:12,449 --> 00:32:13,910
How did you become an architect?
531
00:32:13,934 --> 00:32:16,477
Okay, I was in art
school in college, and...
532
00:32:18,021 --> 00:32:21,250
Ahhh!
533
00:32:21,274 --> 00:32:22,274
Don't look down.
534
00:32:22,569 --> 00:32:25,960
I didn't know what I was
going to do with myself,
535
00:32:28,324 --> 00:32:32,220
and then I met this guy who was
an architectural grad student.
536
00:32:32,270 --> 00:32:35,060
And he opened up
this whole new world for me.
537
00:32:38,239 --> 00:32:40,910
So me and the grad
student got married,
538
00:32:41,782 --> 00:32:45,177
and we started a company.
Oh, sorry.
539
00:32:45,178 --> 00:32:47,259
But we're divorced now.
It's okay. (LAUGHS)
540
00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:49,599
Uh, we got divorced
about a year ago,
541
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,439
but we're still working
together, which is kind of crazy.
542
00:32:54,439 --> 00:32:57,860
But... Wait. Whoa! Whoa!
543
00:32:58,443 --> 00:33:01,323
- Are you okay?
- (LAUGHING) Yeah.
544
00:33:02,198 --> 00:33:04,450
Yeah.
545
00:33:10,619 --> 00:33:11,930
Do you think I meant to do that?
546
00:33:11,954 --> 00:33:13,932
Yeah.
547
00:33:13,956 --> 00:33:15,206
Did you?
548
00:33:15,749 --> 00:33:17,209
Yeah.
549
00:33:21,729 --> 00:33:23,619
Oh, God, this is so hard.
550
00:33:23,643 --> 00:33:24,643
What?
551
00:33:25,979 --> 00:33:28,909
Um, well,
I'm looking at you, right?
552
00:33:30,699 --> 00:33:31,920
And there's this, uh...
553
00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:36,988
There's this little
thing I do with my eyes,
554
00:33:36,989 --> 00:33:40,528
where I'm sort of glancing out
from under my eyelashes, and
555
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,609
sort of giving
you this sexy look,
556
00:33:42,619 --> 00:33:45,930
and then I realized it
doesn't matter to you.
557
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,329
No, it doesn't matter.
558
00:33:48,992 --> 00:33:52,370
Let me see.
559
00:33:56,124 --> 00:33:59,377
Eyes.
560
00:34:00,629 --> 00:34:03,798

561
00:34:04,507 --> 00:34:05,507
Mouth.
562
00:34:12,379 --> 00:34:13,520
You're very beautiful.
563
00:34:13,544 --> 00:34:15,338
Thank you.
564
00:34:18,368 --> 00:34:19,368

Here, here. Come here.
579
00:36:43,810 --> 00:36:46,850
So, I was at the market picking
up a few things before school,
580
00:36:46,860 --> 00:36:47,989
and I thought you might like...
581
00:36:48,013 --> 00:36:49,093
I know. Apples and bananas.
582
00:36:50,979 --> 00:36:54,019
He's being a show-off, Amy.
He smells them a mile away.
583
00:36:54,020 --> 00:36:56,958
The apples are on
the bottom shelf.
584
00:36:56,959 --> 00:36:57,379

00:37:00,006 --> 00:37:02,489
Okay.

00:37:05,478 --> 00:37:06,998
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

looking all over for you.

Oh, no. Something much better.
613
00:38:48,389 --> 00:38:49,580
Can I ask you something?
614
00:38:49,711 --> 00:38:50,131
Sure.
615
00:38:50,181 --> 00:38:51,265

- Hi.
- Hey.
617
00:38:59,303 --> 00:39:00,583
- Let me catch my breath.
- Okay.
618
00:39:03,390 --> 00:39:04,475
Okay.
619
00:39:05,770 --> 00:39:08,310
Have you ever wondered
what it would be like to see?
620
00:39:08,770 --> 00:39:11,313
Well, sure.
621
00:39:11,897 --> 00:39:13,482
Like whether
there's life on Mars, or
622
00:39:15,609 --> 00:39:19,380
whether or not
aliens built the pyramids.
623
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,419
Okay.
But if there were a chance,
624
00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:27,699
if something could be done
to give you sight,
625
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,719
would you take it?
626
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,920
(CHUCKLES) What are we
talking about here?
627
00:39:36,620 --> 00:39:39,500
Um, I saw that article
on Dr. Aaron.
628
00:39:42,170 --> 00:39:42,590
Who?
629
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:44,496
He's the leading eye surgeon
on the Eastern Seaboard.
630
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,360
And I called him up
at Manhattan Eye and Ear.
631
00:39:48,070 --> 00:39:49,570
And I spoke to him about you.
632
00:39:50,629 --> 00:39:52,760
I'm sorry.
You called this guy?
633
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,030
Yes.
And he just faxed me back,
634
00:39:56,469 --> 00:39:57,489
and he said that
635
00:39:57,500 --> 00:39:59,049
he would be very
excited to see you
636
00:39:59,050 --> 00:40:00,370
'cause he thinks
that in your case
637
00:40:00,379 --> 00:40:02,050
there might be
a chance of reversal.
638
00:40:02,929 --> 00:40:03,959
What do you think?
639
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:07,860
I guess I'm...
640
00:40:09,409 --> 00:40:12,790
I forgot that it's
"help the handicapped" week.
641
00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:15,780
I thought you'd be excited.
642
00:40:16,389 --> 00:40:17,219
What's the problem?
643
00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:18,300
That's just the point, Amy.
644
00:40:19,149 --> 00:40:20,620
There is no goddamn problem.
645
00:40:24,708 --> 00:40:27,979
- Hi.
- Hi, Jennie.
646
00:40:28,389 --> 00:40:30,139
You did great work today.
647
00:40:30,909 --> 00:40:33,209
- See you tomorrow.
- Okay, thanks.
648
00:40:33,234 --> 00:40:34,649
Hi.
649
00:40:34,699 --> 00:40:36,250
- Amy, right?
- Right.
650
00:40:36,550 --> 00:40:38,199
Um, could I speak to
you for a minute?
651
00:40:38,989 --> 00:40:39,989
Yeah. Something wrong?
652
00:40:40,379 --> 00:40:42,259
Well, there's something
that I don't understand.
653
00:40:42,570 --> 00:40:45,739
I saw that article on
Dr. Aaron and I called him.
654
00:40:45,763 --> 00:40:48,290
- And he's willing to see Virgil.
- Bye, Jennie.
655
00:40:48,340 --> 00:40:50,090
In fact, he's really
anxious to see him.
656
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:51,489
But when I told
Virgil about him,
657
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:53,419
he acted as if I
was trying to...
658
00:40:53,439 --> 00:40:54,810
What don't you understand?
659
00:40:56,459 --> 00:40:59,950
Well, if I had spent
almost my entire life blind,
660
00:41:00,750 --> 00:41:04,199
and there was even the remotest
possibility that I could regain my sight,
661
00:41:04,209 --> 00:41:05,620
I would be all over that.
662
00:41:06,530 --> 00:41:08,379
When there's something
that you've adapted to,
663
00:41:08,389 --> 00:41:09,739
accepted, you'd go and change it
664
00:41:09,750 --> 00:41:11,500
without knowing
the consequences?
665
00:41:14,939 --> 00:41:16,449
We're very happy here, Amy.
666
00:41:16,459 --> 00:41:18,389
Virgil has everything he needs.
667
00:41:21,392 --> 00:41:24,300
Wait.
668
00:41:24,350 --> 00:41:26,129
Everything that he needs?
669
00:41:26,659 --> 00:41:28,870
Does he need to go
through life blind
670
00:41:28,879 --> 00:41:31,050
if there's a possibility
that he could see?
671
00:41:31,629 --> 00:41:33,110
Look,
I would give him my own eyes
672
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,010
if it would help
him see, but it won't.
673
00:41:35,020 --> 00:41:37,729
I learned a long time ago
to stop believing in miracles.
674
00:41:37,739 --> 00:41:39,489
Look, I see where
you're coming from.
675
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:41,610
Yes, you do, and Virgil doesn't.
676
00:41:41,620 --> 00:41:43,360
Why can't you accept that?
677
00:41:44,020 --> 00:41:46,070
He spent his first
eight years of his life
678
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,989
having his eyes probed, pierced,
679
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,830
prodded, poked at by doctors,
680
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,520
faith healers, spiritualists,
shamans, medicine men.
681
00:41:53,570 --> 00:41:55,510
My father had them lined up
outside the door.
682
00:41:55,989 --> 00:41:59,500
It hurt and disappointed all of
us, and it almost killed him.
683
00:41:59,790 --> 00:42:01,989
He doesn't need to
go through that again.
684
00:42:03,330 --> 00:42:04,800
So now maybe you understand.

00:42:49,850 --> 00:42:51,550
No, I'm fine. I just...
700
00:42:52,590 --> 00:42:55,889
I just wanted to come see you
before I had to go back to the city.
701
00:42:56,890 --> 00:42:58,179
Oh.
702
00:42:58,229 --> 00:42:59,570

703
00:43:00,639 --> 00:43:02,199
I've got to go back to work.
704
00:43:03,979 --> 00:43:06,120
I just wanted to
apologize for stomping around
705
00:43:06,129 --> 00:43:07,639
in your life like Bigfoot today.
706
00:43:08,469 --> 00:43:10,729
It wasn't my place. I'm sorry.
707
00:43:10,753 --> 00:43:13,004
Here. Here.
708
00:43:13,756 --> 00:43:15,676
See... See the tree over there?
Across the drive?
709
00:43:20,011 --> 00:43:22,306
AMY: Yeah.
710
00:43:22,469 --> 00:43:23,469
How far away is it?
711
00:43:24,439 --> 00:43:26,752
I'm guessing about 25 feet.
712
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,090
To you, maybe.
But to me, it's 14 steps.
713
00:43:34,050 --> 00:43:36,636
Fourteen steps and
I get to the tree.
714
00:43:37,383 --> 00:43:40,176
But if I think about something
else, if I go too slow or if I rush,
715
00:43:40,660 --> 00:43:43,371
then I smash right into it.
716
00:43:49,711 --> 00:43:52,105
Okay.
717
00:43:52,155 --> 00:43:53,795
Well, I guess,
you know, I should go pack.
718
00:43:57,399 --> 00:43:59,790
Oh.
You like smashing into trees?
719
00:44:31,614 --> 00:44:33,639

720
00:44:33,689 --> 00:44:34,689
I'm over here.

Yeah, well, believe me, I know.
771
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:32,419
But it's nothing as invasive as
772
00:47:32,429 --> 00:47:33,899
what you went
through as a child.
773
00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:38,810
I mean, 25 years ago, cataract

will be performing the surgery.

the end of the room.

00:49:57,954 --> 00:49:59,264

00:52:32,353 --> 00:52:34,605
US pulse. -Patch.
873
00:52:37,060 --> 00:52:39,879
That's it. Let's patch
him up, Tracy. Terrific.
874
00:52:47,636 --> 00:52:50,866
Hello?
875
00:52:50,890 --> 00:52:52,142
AARON: Virgil, we're here.
876
00:52:52,808 --> 00:52:53,808
Hi.
877
00:52:56,233 --> 00:52:59,198
- Hi.
- How you doing?
878
00:52:59,199 --> 00:53:00,320
How are you feeling?
879
00:53:01,655 --> 00:53:03,614
Well, a bit like
a tequila hangover,
880
00:53:05,469 --> 00:53:07,149
but I can't remember the party.
881
00:53:07,510 --> 00:53:09,110
The doctor said
that you did great.
882
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,180
Did it hurt a lot?
883
00:53:11,204 --> 00:53:12,204
Just the operation.
884
00:53:13,889 --> 00:53:14,870
Hey, how's my hair?
885
00:53:14,879 --> 00:53:18,310
I'd hate for my first seeing
day to be a bad hair day.
886
00:53:19,101 --> 00:53:21,354
Looks good.
887
00:53:21,870 --> 00:53:24,129
Who are those people?
888
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:25,649
There's a camera crew.
889
00:53:25,659 --> 00:53:28,209
For posterity. We're gonna
make you famous here.
890
00:53:28,459 --> 00:53:32,060
We're sending this closed-circuit
into one of our conference rooms.
891
00:53:32,394 --> 00:53:35,581
Is that okay?
892
00:53:36,163 --> 00:53:37,706
Yeah. Let's see what we see.
893
00:53:40,020 --> 00:53:41,020
All right.
894
00:53:41,072 --> 00:53:42,632
- You mean right now?
- (AARON CHUCKLES)
895
00:53:43,742 --> 00:53:45,510
VIRGIL: Okay.
896
00:53:45,780 --> 00:53:49,030
- Is that all right?
- Yeah. I'm just a little nervous.
897
00:53:49,054 --> 00:53:50,379
Okay.
898
00:53:50,429 --> 00:53:53,340
All right, let's start
taking the first one off.
899
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,320
This is just the outside.
900
00:54:05,871 --> 00:54:08,689
AARON: Okay, phase one.
901
00:54:08,739 --> 00:54:11,840
Take off the right patch.
902
00:54:21,058 --> 00:54:24,455
And the left.
903
00:54:24,479 --> 00:54:25,896
Okay.
904
00:54:27,565 --> 00:54:28,606
And there we go.
905
00:54:29,733 --> 00:54:31,609
Okay.
906
00:54:36,010 --> 00:54:37,550
So, what do you see?
907
00:54:42,149 --> 00:54:43,149
VIRGIL: Oh, my God.
908
00:54:51,709 --> 00:54:53,260
AARON: Well, what do you see?
909
00:54:54,510 --> 00:54:55,510
I don't know.
910
00:54:56,189 --> 00:54:57,270
Can you see Amy?
911
00:54:59,139 --> 00:55:00,320
AMY: I'm over here, Virgil.
912
00:55:03,614 --> 00:55:06,785
VIRGIL: I don't know.
913
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,340
AARON:
Can you see your sister?
914
00:55:11,925 --> 00:55:12,955
JENNIE: Virgil, are you okay?
Are you okay?
915
00:55:12,979 --> 00:55:15,840
Oh, God! This isn't right.
Something's wrong.
916
00:55:16,129 --> 00:55:17,438
- What's wrong?
- There's a problem.
917
00:55:17,439 --> 00:55:19,066
No, it's gonna be fine.
It just takes some time.
918
00:55:19,090 --> 00:55:20,919
No, it's not fine.
Don't say it's fine.
919
00:55:21,762 --> 00:55:23,698
This can't be seeing.
920
00:55:23,722 --> 00:55:24,992
What do you see?
921
00:55:25,016 --> 00:55:26,725
(VIRGIL SCREAMS)
Ow, that's bad!
922
00:55:26,976 --> 00:55:29,644
Okay.
923
00:55:30,144 --> 00:55:31,146
- Oh, my God!
- AMY: Jesus!
924
00:55:31,147 --> 00:55:33,516
- Stop moving!
- AARON: Get the lights out!
925
00:55:33,517 --> 00:55:35,454
- Get them out of here, please.
- Okay. All right.
926
00:55:35,455 --> 00:55:37,598
AMY: What can we do for you?
What can we do?
927
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:38,949
Okay, Virgil, they've gone now.
928
00:55:38,959 --> 00:55:40,260
Let's everybody just calm down.
929
00:55:40,284 --> 00:55:41,470
VIRGIL: Okay, all right. Um...
930
00:55:41,494 --> 00:55:43,681
AARON: It's all right,
it's okay, they've left.
931
00:55:43,705 --> 00:55:45,723
I gotta think. Something's wrong.
This can't be seeing.
932
00:55:45,747 --> 00:55:49,311
- Come on.
- It's okay, just relax. It's okay.
933
00:55:49,335 --> 00:55:51,104
Okay, I need to think.
934
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:53,360
AMY: What can we do?
935
00:55:53,384 --> 00:55:54,778
Um, give me something
in my hands.
936
00:55:54,802 --> 00:55:56,554
Okay.
937
00:55:58,055 --> 00:55:59,474
Okay.
938
00:56:01,266 --> 00:56:02,266
Okay. Okay.
939
00:56:04,134 --> 00:56:06,553
Good. Now,
just use your sense of touch.
940
00:56:10,090 --> 00:56:13,139
Just associate now. Now, what
do you see in front of you?
941
00:56:13,163 --> 00:56:15,684
Oh.
942
00:56:15,708 --> 00:56:16,793
Use your touch.
943
00:56:18,419 --> 00:56:20,005
It's okay, Virgil.
944
00:56:38,652 --> 00:56:42,089
- It's a can.
- Good, good.
945
00:56:42,090 --> 00:56:43,199
What's going on?
946
00:56:43,689 --> 00:56:45,010
AARON: He's associating.
947
00:56:45,270 --> 00:56:47,630
His fingers tell his brain and
then his brain tells his eyes
948
00:56:48,254 --> 00:56:51,007
and then he recognizes
what's in front of him.
949
00:56:54,390 --> 00:56:58,019
Okay, Virgil, let's
give your eyes a rest. Okay?
950
00:56:59,370 --> 00:57:02,090
We should all be very happy.
We've got something.
951
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:13,300
With extended blindness...
952
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,260
What the hell just
happened in there?
953
00:57:18,270 --> 00:57:20,110
I mean, is that
what you call "seeing"?
954
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,259
Look, it's a little complicated.
955
00:57:22,260 --> 00:57:24,589
See, it is clear
that he is seeing.
956
00:57:24,639 --> 00:57:26,159
I mean, he's picking up images.
957
00:57:26,169 --> 00:57:28,540
Apparently his retina is intact.
958
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,855
I mean, for all intents and
purposes, it's a success.
959
00:57:30,879 --> 00:57:31,879
A success?
960
00:57:33,719 --> 00:57:36,679
He's all lost in there. He can't
see me, he can't see his sister.
961
00:57:36,689 --> 00:57:38,370
He can't see
anything except a Coke can.
962
00:57:38,810 --> 00:57:40,830
And he can only do that
after he held it in his hands.
963
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:41,830
He could do that before.
964
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,290
Believe me, he can see you.
965
00:57:43,300 --> 00:57:45,870
He just doesn't
understand what he sees.
966
00:57:47,209 --> 00:57:49,620
So, is this temporary?
Will this go away?
967
00:57:49,689 --> 00:57:51,833
Well,
there is a visual therapist.
968
00:57:52,820 --> 00:57:55,310
It's a fellow
named Phil Webster.
969
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:56,800
He's a little unorthodox,
970
00:57:56,810 --> 00:57:58,689
but I think he's
probably our best bet,
971
00:57:58,699 --> 00:58:01,489
considering the unique
aspects of this case.
972
00:58:02,090 --> 00:58:05,229
I'll contact him right away,
but there's no guarantees.
973
00:58:05,239 --> 00:58:07,060
I mean,
he might be able to help us.
974
00:58:07,129 --> 00:58:08,129
No guarantee?
975
00:58:08,550 --> 00:58:11,010
Look, we are all
on new ground here.
976
00:58:11,459 --> 00:58:13,209
Now let's try to be optimistic.
977
00:58:13,739 --> 00:58:14,739
I mean, he can see.
978
00:58:32,350 --> 00:58:33,629
Uh, hello?
979
00:59:00,238 --> 00:59:03,491
Hello?
980
01:00:19,901 --> 01:00:23,113
Amy?
981
01:00:25,550 --> 01:00:26,989
No, it's Jen.
982
01:00:38,439 --> 01:00:39,780
So this is you.
983
01:00:42,750 --> 01:00:43,750
This is me.
984
01:00:50,649 --> 01:00:51,830
Everything's gonna be all right
985
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,080
as soon as we can get you home.
986
01:00:53,969 --> 01:00:56,939
I'm not gonna go home. I'm gonna
stay right here in New York,
987
01:00:57,610 --> 01:01:00,620
where the doctors are and
where they can take care of me.
988
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,330
I can't stay here, and
989
01:01:03,860 --> 01:01:05,379
you can't go through this alone.
990
01:01:06,020 --> 01:01:07,379
Who's gonna take care of...
991
01:01:09,630 --> 01:01:12,801
Amy.
992
01:01:15,979 --> 01:01:17,639
She's gonna look after you?
993
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,189
She doesn't know
anything about the blind.
994
01:01:22,219 --> 01:01:24,697
But I'm not blind anymore,
Jennie.
995
01:01:24,698 --> 01:01:26,759
(SIGHS) Okay.
996
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:28,209
Two weeks.
997
01:01:28,209 --> 01:01:29,209
No.
998
01:01:29,510 --> 01:01:30,510
Not one day.
999
01:01:31,199 --> 01:01:34,300
I'm not... I'm not gonna do
anything to lose her.
1000
01:01:40,682 --> 01:01:43,725
Okay.
1001
01:01:48,064 --> 01:01:51,460
(SIGHING) Hey.
1002
01:01:51,484 --> 01:01:52,653
Hey.
1003
01:01:52,790 --> 01:01:54,820
Virgil's
finishing getting ready.
1004
01:01:55,250 --> 01:01:57,050
Would you mind
walking me to my car?
1005
01:01:57,860 --> 01:01:58,860
Are you all right?
1006
01:01:59,869 --> 01:02:01,429
No, I'm scared to death.
1007
01:02:03,319 --> 01:02:06,780
I've spent my whole life looking
for holes he might fall in.
1008
01:02:07,610 --> 01:02:10,149
I'd run up ahead
and cover them up.
1009
01:02:11,489 --> 01:02:13,899
Everywhere I look here,
I see holes.
1010
01:02:15,389 --> 01:02:18,620
Well, hopefully, he'll start
seeing them for himself.
1011
01:02:19,750 --> 01:02:21,179
Believe me,
Jennie, I don't want him
1012
01:02:21,189 --> 01:02:22,540
to get hurt any
more than you do.
1013
01:02:24,259 --> 01:02:27,679
You know, what hurt Virgil
most was his father leaving.
1014
01:02:28,489 --> 01:02:30,870
He thought it had to
do with his blindness,
1015
01:02:30,879 --> 01:02:33,740
that somehow he hadn't tried hard
enough or he could've been better.
1016
01:02:37,570 --> 01:02:38,919
I'm not going anywhere, Jennie.
1017
01:02:39,459 --> 01:02:42,159
Amy, a blind child
can't see those close to them,
1018
01:02:42,169 --> 01:02:44,000
so they never
learn how to reach out.
1019
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,750
If he's unhappy or in pain or
confused, Virgil won't reach out.
1020
01:02:49,209 --> 01:02:52,469
He goes behind a wall,
a place we can't go to.
1021
01:02:54,290 --> 01:02:57,370
He just needs to have somebody be
there for him when he comes back.
1022
01:03:02,624 --> 01:03:05,670
Okay.
1023
01:03:14,646 --> 01:03:17,688
Okay.
1024
01:03:17,689 --> 01:03:18,949
This is it. This is home.
1025
01:03:21,742 --> 01:03:23,745
VIRGIL: Oh, God.
1026
01:03:23,906 --> 01:03:24,326
Whoa! You okay?
1027
01:03:24,820 --> 01:03:26,899
Stop the world,
I want to get off.
1028
01:03:28,108 --> 01:03:29,450
- Go slow.
- What's that?
1029
01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:31,530
Oh, it's a shadow, sweetie.
It's nothing.
1030
01:03:31,699 --> 01:03:33,059
You can walk
right through it, see?
1031
01:03:34,922 --> 01:03:38,108
Hey, Virgil, it's Ethan.
1032
01:03:38,109 --> 01:03:39,359
Hey.
1033
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,580
Are you all right?
You look kind of funny.
1034
01:03:41,604 --> 01:03:43,916
You should see
what you look like from here.
1035
01:03:46,110 --> 01:03:47,710
Okay, we're gonna go
upstairs now, Ethan.
1036
01:03:49,277 --> 01:03:51,211
- All right.
- See you later.
1037
01:03:51,212 --> 01:03:52,189
Hey, Zach!
1038
01:03:52,189 --> 01:03:52,620
God, I feel like such a child.
1039
01:03:52,621 --> 01:03:54,929
It's okay. We're gonna
find that Webster guy
1040
01:03:54,939 --> 01:03:56,299
and we're gonna get his help.
Okay?
1041
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,510
Just keep your eyes
closed for one second.
1042
01:04:05,534 --> 01:04:07,411
Okay.
1043
01:04:10,121 --> 01:04:13,350
Okay.
1044
01:04:13,374 --> 01:04:14,559
Oh!
1045
01:04:14,583 --> 01:04:15,663
Oh, no! I'm sorry, sweetie.
1046
01:04:16,585 --> 01:04:18,189
No, I want to see it.
1047
01:04:18,213 --> 01:04:19,213
AMY: It's too much.
1048
01:04:21,169 --> 01:04:23,100
Does it look like
this all the time?
1049
01:04:23,110 --> 01:04:25,070
No. Oh, God. (LAUGHS)
1050
01:04:25,649 --> 01:04:28,579
While we were at the hospital,
I asked Betsy to come over here and...
1051
01:04:28,629 --> 01:04:30,989
Wanted to make it special.
I'm sorry.
1052
01:04:31,929 --> 01:04:35,350
Oh. Maybe I better sit down for a second.
I'm kind of dizzy.
1053
01:04:40,481 --> 01:04:42,520
- Sorry.
- No.
1054
01:04:42,570 --> 01:04:44,600
It's great. Let me
just look at you, though.
1055
01:04:48,060 --> 01:04:50,239
- Can you see me?
- Yes.
1056
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,179
Can I see all of you?
1057
01:04:56,090 --> 01:04:57,090
All of me?
1058
01:04:57,403 --> 01:04:58,404
Like all of me? Oh, God.
1059
01:05:00,959 --> 01:05:02,199
If you want to.
1060
01:05:03,074 --> 01:05:04,834
I mean, I'm so nervous.
I can't believe this.
1061
01:05:04,919 --> 01:05:06,340
What if you don't
like what you see?
1062
01:05:07,409 --> 01:05:08,709
That's impossible.
1063
01:05:09,208 --> 01:05:10,793
I'll close my eyes.
1064
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,719
No, no, no, no. This is your first
seeing day. You have to see everything.
1065
01:06:05,939 --> 01:06:08,129
So this is what
beautiful looks like.
1066
01:06:34,550 --> 01:06:37,950
WEBSTER: Right, okay. Virgil?
1067
01:06:38,340 --> 01:06:40,030
Says here you went
blind as a child,
1068
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,570
before you developed
a visual vocabulary.
1069
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,520
You have a problem
with depth of field,
1070
01:06:45,530 --> 01:06:47,629
space,
shape and size and distance.
1071
01:06:48,969 --> 01:06:50,350
It's fascinating.
1072
01:06:50,370 --> 01:06:54,070
There's only been 20 cases of
this in the last 200 years.
1073
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,260
Basically, your eyes work,
but your brain
1074
01:06:56,270 --> 01:06:58,830
hasn't learned to
process the information.
1075
01:06:58,879 --> 01:07:03,269
You are mentally blind. Neurologists
call this "visual agnosia."
1076
01:07:04,050 --> 01:07:06,060
Well,
I call it pretty screwed up.
1077
01:07:07,419 --> 01:07:10,080
That's a much better term. I'll
bring it up at the next meeting.
1078
01:07:10,290 --> 01:07:13,189
Although, it would be
difficult to get grant money
1079
01:07:13,199 --> 01:07:14,800
for the Pretty
Screwed Up Foundation.
1080
01:07:16,050 --> 01:07:18,239
I have something I'd
like to read to you.
1081
01:07:19,991 --> 01:07:22,368
Rugelach? I made it myself.
1082
01:07:23,870 --> 01:07:24,870
Damn it.
1083
01:07:25,459 --> 01:07:27,760
Uh, my glasses,
I can never find them.
1084
01:07:28,459 --> 01:07:30,330
Mrs. Fenster, help!
1085
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:36,439
Thank you.
Happens all the time.
1086
01:07:36,463 --> 01:07:38,246
Okay, Alberto Valvo.
1087
01:07:38,296 --> 01:07:40,758
Uh, Sight Restoration
After Long-Term Blindness.
1088
01:07:44,739 --> 01:07:48,139
Ah. "One must die
as a blind person"
1089
01:07:48,189 --> 01:07:50,570
"to be born again
as a sighted person."
1090
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,110
"However,
it is the interim, the limbo"
1091
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,912
"between two worlds
that is so terrible."
1092
01:07:59,449 --> 01:08:01,840
There you go, pal.
You're in limbo.
1093
01:08:02,770 --> 01:08:03,770
AMY: That's it?
1094
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:05,120
"Limbo"? I mean,
1095
01:08:05,830 --> 01:08:07,280
that book doesn't
have anything else
1096
01:08:07,290 --> 01:08:09,209
that might help us
with Virgil's condition?
1097
01:08:09,219 --> 01:08:12,040
Limbo's not that bad.
It's like New Jersey.
1098
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:14,820
You can see where all the
good stuff is happening.
1099
01:08:15,629 --> 01:08:16,850
You just have to get there.
1100
01:08:17,339 --> 01:08:20,089
I know, I know, you were
expecting Anne Bancroft.
1101
01:08:21,290 --> 01:08:23,450
A dramatic breakthrough
out by the water pump.
1102
01:08:23,709 --> 01:08:25,310
I'm sorry, I'm just a professor.
1103
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,880
I teach people how to teach the
blind how to become independent.
1104
01:08:29,580 --> 01:08:34,049
Unfortunately, there's no manual
on what you're going through.
1105
01:08:34,330 --> 01:08:35,839
I'd like to help, but
1106
01:08:36,529 --> 01:08:38,930
like the rest of things in
life, it's really up to you.
1107
01:08:40,339 --> 01:08:41,600
Are you crazy?
1108
01:08:42,169 --> 01:08:45,640
I'm completely confused.
You said you'd like to help,
1109
01:08:45,649 --> 01:08:47,189
so we came here for help.
1110
01:08:47,580 --> 01:08:48,959
All right. All right.
1111
01:08:49,259 --> 01:08:50,859
- You want a lesson?
- Yes.
1112
01:08:50,883 --> 01:08:52,229
All right.
1113
01:08:52,279 --> 01:08:53,279
Here we go.
1114
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,000
Lesson number one.
1115
01:08:57,220 --> 01:08:59,839
Repeat after me,
"The rain in Spain stays..."
1116
01:09:01,410 --> 01:09:03,979
Look, I'm kidding.
It's a joke.
1117
01:09:06,470 --> 01:09:07,470
What's this?
1118
01:09:11,699 --> 01:09:14,047
It's an apple. An apple.
1119
01:09:14,370 --> 01:09:17,300
Good, good. You've now
won the toaster oven.
1120
01:09:18,091 --> 01:09:20,344
Okay.
1121
01:09:23,559 --> 01:09:24,559
What's this?
1122
01:09:27,069 --> 01:09:27,850
It's an apple.
1123
01:09:27,859 --> 01:09:32,009
Good, but is it an apple
or just a picture of an apple?
1124
01:09:35,178 --> 01:09:38,283
Okay, so...
1125
01:09:41,180 --> 01:09:42,649
This is a joke, right?
1126
01:09:42,699 --> 01:09:44,720
What are you saying?
That my eyes lie?
1127
01:09:47,500 --> 01:09:50,509
Well, your eyesight can and
will play tricks on you.
1128
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:51,709
No matter what I
could teach you,
1129
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,620
no matter what
exercises I could give you,
1130
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:55,520
they'll still
play tricks on you.
1131
01:09:55,629 --> 01:09:57,349
You've got to learn to
trust your instincts.
1132
01:09:57,959 --> 01:09:59,479
I don't have any instincts.
1133
01:09:59,490 --> 01:10:01,020
My instinct is to close my eyes
1134
01:10:01,029 --> 01:10:02,640
and feel my way
out of your office.
1135
01:10:02,649 --> 01:10:05,419
Well, there you go. That's
a self-preservation instinct.
1136
01:10:05,430 --> 01:10:06,459
But you have others.
1137
01:10:07,509 --> 01:10:09,910
Look, Virgil,
you have to learn to see,
1138
01:10:09,919 --> 01:10:12,209
just like you learned to speak.
1139
01:10:12,220 --> 01:10:15,450
Perception, sight, life,
1140
01:10:15,700 --> 01:10:17,919
is about experience,
about reaching out
1141
01:10:17,930 --> 01:10:20,009
and exploring
the world for yourself.
1142
01:10:20,033 --> 01:10:22,411
It's not enough to just see.
We've got to look as well.
1143
01:10:25,759 --> 01:10:27,660
AARON: Immediately
following the operation,
1144
01:10:27,710 --> 01:10:29,550
the patient experienced
extreme disorientation.
1145
01:10:32,629 --> 01:10:35,129
The images and colors
had no meaning for him.
1146
01:10:36,359 --> 01:10:39,279
But now,
just weeks after surgery,
1147
01:10:39,290 --> 01:10:44,779
Mr. Adamson has mastered the ability
to define shape and distance,
1148
01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:48,620
giving him confidence
to move about his environment.
1149
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:53,529
However, he still becomes
confused by new images,
1150
01:10:54,244 --> 01:10:57,539
just as a child will be
fascinated by everyday objects
1151
01:10:58,310 --> 01:10:59,720
that we may take for granted.
1152
01:11:00,509 --> 01:11:01,509
Look up.
1153
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:04,080
What is it?
1154
01:11:05,349 --> 01:11:06,849
It's art, Dubuffet.
1155
01:11:07,474 --> 01:11:09,560
This is art?
1156
01:11:10,580 --> 01:11:13,169
Oh, no. That has to
be art. Look at that.
1157
01:11:14,140 --> 01:11:15,470
That is beautiful.
1158
01:11:16,089 --> 01:11:18,750
Uh, no, that's just
somebody being destructive.
1159
01:11:19,919 --> 01:11:21,929
The words read something
pretty nasty, Virgil.
1160
01:11:21,930 --> 01:11:22,270
What is it?
1161
01:11:22,271 --> 01:11:24,089
It says "pig shit."
1162
01:11:24,540 --> 01:11:26,270
And though his
progress is steady,
1163
01:11:26,370 --> 01:11:29,970
Virgil is still very
reliant on his touch
1164
01:11:29,979 --> 01:11:32,390
to interpret objects
and his surroundings.
1165
01:11:32,430 --> 01:11:33,560
It's a dog.
1166
01:11:35,021 --> 01:11:38,076
I'm sorry, yes.
1167
01:11:39,740 --> 01:11:43,080
And his understanding of
three-dimensionality is very limited
1168
01:11:43,089 --> 01:11:44,800
and confounding to him.
1169
01:11:44,850 --> 01:11:46,930
(BELLS TOLLING) - AMY: Oh, wow.
Listen to the bells.
1170
01:11:47,569 --> 01:11:48,669
What's that, that lump?
1171
01:11:51,279 --> 01:11:53,319
Oh, that's a homeless person.
1172
01:11:54,310 --> 01:11:55,700
You just walked right past him.
1173
01:11:56,430 --> 01:11:57,680
You didn't even look.
1174
01:11:58,859 --> 01:12:02,290
Well, I mean, some things
you choose not to see.
1175
01:12:02,299 --> 01:12:04,060
I mean, you can't look
at everything, Virgil.
1176
01:12:04,649 --> 01:12:07,470
I don't want to look away. I want to see.
I want to see everything.
1177
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,799
What the hell are you looking at?
Get out of here.
1178
01:12:10,319 --> 01:12:12,660
He also has great
difficulty with scanning,
1179
01:12:13,509 --> 01:12:15,970
basically that's putting
the whole picture together.
1180
01:12:21,169 --> 01:12:24,020
VIRGIL: I've got over 10 years'
experience at Bear Mountain, and
1181
01:12:24,070 --> 01:12:27,199
all kinds really, deep-tissue,
therapeutic, shiatsu.
1182
01:12:28,220 --> 01:12:30,080
That's fine,
let's get you started.
1183
01:12:31,650 --> 01:12:34,759
Here's your I9, W4, workman's
comp, basic employment package.
1184
01:12:34,770 --> 01:12:36,080
Just fill these out,
take them over
1185
01:12:36,089 --> 01:12:37,529
to accounting at
the back of the gym.
1186
01:12:41,790 --> 01:12:44,800
Oh, gosh, you know what?
I forgot my glasses.
1187
01:12:45,419 --> 01:12:47,200
I'm gonna... I'm just
gonna take these home
1188
01:12:47,209 --> 01:12:49,380
and fill it out and I'll just
bring it back, okay?
1189
01:12:49,819 --> 01:12:50,819
MAN: All right.
1190
01:12:50,910 --> 01:12:53,529
AARON: This includes his
ability to read, meaning
1191
01:12:53,540 --> 01:12:56,569
he has a total
lack of visual memory.
1192
01:13:03,250 --> 01:13:07,130
Sweetie, it might help if
you kind of take the word...
1193
01:13:10,299 --> 01:13:12,539
I know what I'm supposed to do.
I just can't do it, okay?
1194
01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:15,740
I can't read. By the time I
get to the last letter,
1195
01:13:15,750 --> 01:13:17,080
I can't remember the first one.
1196
01:13:17,399 --> 01:13:19,310
I can't fill out
a goddamn application.
1197
01:13:19,319 --> 01:13:20,689
I have to have
somebody else do it for me
1198
01:13:20,700 --> 01:13:22,520
like I was a blind person,
but I'm not blind.
1199
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,259
Your helping isn't helping.
1200
01:13:27,594 --> 01:13:30,721
AMY: Okay, I'm sorry.
1201
01:13:31,779 --> 01:13:34,479
This is an unexpected
physiological flaw, and
1202
01:13:34,839 --> 01:13:38,620
one that we hope that Virgil
will be able to overcome.
1203
01:13:41,270 --> 01:13:43,339
Well, that's it for today.
Thank you.
1204
01:13:47,379 --> 01:13:49,399
Mr. Adamson,
I'm Christie Evans from NYN.
1205
01:13:49,620 --> 01:13:51,740
Could you talk to us for a few
moments to give the audience
1206
01:13:51,750 --> 01:13:53,430
a little idea of what
you're going through?
1207
01:13:54,770 --> 01:13:57,500
- That really hurts.
- Do you need to have that light on? REPORTER: Yeah. Um, in terms of your operation,
1208
01:13:57,509 --> 01:13:59,729
were the results
met with your expectations?
1209
01:14:00,140 --> 01:14:02,779
Um, I didn't have
any expectations.-(LINE DIALING)
1210
01:14:02,803 --> 01:14:04,085
REPORTER: When you decided to

What's that?
1214
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,040
You tell me.
1215
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:19,729
I don't know, it's a crocodile.
1216
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:21,620
Come on. Concentrate.
1217
01:14:22,589 --> 01:14:24,250
I don't want to concentrate,
Amy.
1218
01:14:24,260 --> 01:14:27,658
Can we just have one meal
where it's not about my eyes?
1219
01:14:27,659 --> 01:14:30,970
I just want to sit here and eat.

Just trying to be helpful.
1221
01:14:32,180 --> 01:14:33,919
Let's talk about something else.
1222
01:14:35,209 --> 01:14:37,850
How was your day?
What happened?
1223
01:14:38,709 --> 01:14:39,709
Fine. Nothing.
1224
01:14:40,540 --> 01:14:43,310
Yeah, no, we were invited
to a party tomorrow night.
1225
01:14:44,339 --> 01:14:45,339
Duncan's birthday.
1226
01:14:46,643 --> 01:14:48,310
Is that it?
1227
01:14:49,982 --> 01:14:51,567
What do you mean, is that it?
1228
01:14:53,220 --> 01:14:54,549
I mean, I'm telling
you something that
1229
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,160
I thought maybe
you'd have a response to.
1230
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:58,919
I'm sorry, is that not enough?
1231
01:14:59,254 --> 01:15:00,254
Okay, I'll go.
1232
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:06,779
Why haven't you
finished your sculpture?
1233
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,180
Where did that come from?
1234
01:15:10,839 --> 01:15:11,669
I want to know.
1235
01:15:11,693 --> 01:15:14,413
I'm there every day and I think it's
perfect, I think it's beautiful,
1236
01:15:16,709 --> 01:15:19,500
but you said you didn't like
it and that it wasn't finished,
1237
01:15:19,509 --> 01:15:20,879
and the way you said it
made me think
1238
01:15:20,890 --> 01:15:22,730
that you never would.
So that's why I'm asking.
1239
01:15:24,390 --> 01:15:26,700
Look, it's something that
I care a lot about
1240
01:15:26,709 --> 01:15:27,689
and I can't get right.
1241
01:15:27,700 --> 01:15:28,959
It's something I see in my head
1242
01:15:28,970 --> 01:15:30,100
and I can't do it right.
1243
01:15:30,109 --> 01:15:31,939
It's beautiful and
I can't match it.
1244
01:15:31,950 --> 01:15:32,950
I'm failing it.
1245
01:15:33,379 --> 01:15:36,089
So maybe I'm not an artist.
1246
01:15:41,679 --> 01:15:45,058
What's that?
1247
01:15:46,350 --> 01:15:47,350
It's a lobster.
1248
01:15:49,490 --> 01:15:50,629
People eat this?
1249
01:15:53,465 --> 01:15:55,950
VIRGIL: Okay, a measuring cup.

Try again.

Hey, you cheated! You told
me you couldn't touch.

01:16:01,009 --> 01:16:02,700
Yeah,
sometimes you have to touch.

What are you doing here?

01:16:18,416 --> 01:16:20,895
You're being so mysterious.
Just tell me why we're here.

- Our father's here.
- What?

I recognized his voice the
minute I answered the phone.
1264
01:16:30,239 --> 01:16:33,594
Well, which one is he?
1265
01:16:34,089 --> 01:16:37,109
There he is. He's the one
with the clipboard. The phone?
1266
01:16:37,990 --> 01:16:40,599
I...
Oh, no, no. I can't see him.

He heard about the operation,
he's asked to see you.

I'm not ready. No, no, Jennie.

Forget about
the lights sometimes.

about that party, and

we don't have to go if you don't want to.

So what does you
kissing Duncan say?
1330
01:21:36,890 --> 01:21:38,470
- Oh, God!
- You kissed him, right?
1331
01:21:38,830 --> 01:21:40,089
- Yeah.
- What does that say?
1332

It says it's his birthday.

What look?
1337
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:54,680
This look. You look strange.

what your face means.

It doesn't mean anything.

Don't you want to dance some more?
You should try this. It's fun.

01:22:34,482 --> 01:22:36,359
Want to try? Just...
1349
01:22:37,818 --> 01:22:39,821
All right. Just... Come on.
1350
01:22:40,740 --> 01:22:41,839
I don't belong here.
1351
01:22:41,863 --> 01:22:43,663
It's just a stupid dance,
Virgil. Hey, look...
1352
01:22:46,075 --> 01:22:49,579
No, fuck looking!

01:22:50,997 --> 01:22:54,351
Oh, my God.
1354

- Take me home.
- Are you okay?
1355
01:22:59,319 --> 01:23:02,167
Honey, are you all right?
1356
01:23:02,270 --> 01:23:03,379

Well, gotta get it right.

Besides, my plane leaves
first thing in the morning.

1364
01:23:57,726 --> 01:23:58,146
What?

You don't see me?
1371

I saw you better
when I was blind.
1374

Well, you're not blind anymore,

and I'm sorry if
that disappoints you.

Look, I'm done here.
1377

It's late and I
got to get up early.

both say things that we don't mean.

came crawling back, huh?

01:25:26,771 --> 01:25:29,398
Bye.
1383
01:25:29,969 --> 01:25:31,769
You wanna join us?
I could use your help here.
1384
01:25:33,731 --> 01:25:34,629
Oh, no. I'll just wait
here till you're done.
1385
01:25:34,679 --> 01:25:37,390
Okay. Casey,
come on, let's call it a day.
1386
01:25:41,500 --> 01:25:43,899
How is it,
working with the kids?
1387
01:25:43,910 --> 01:25:45,370
Aren't they great?
They're the best.
1388
01:25:45,420 --> 01:25:47,300
And they're the easiest
because they're so eager
1389
01:25:48,549 --> 01:25:50,549
to make their way in the world.
1390
01:25:50,839 --> 01:25:52,379
It's the adults
who get stubborn.
1391
01:25:53,430 --> 01:25:54,710
Where did you go
to blind school?
1392
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:56,810
I didn't. My father...
1393
01:25:58,089 --> 01:25:59,830
I was just in regular school.
1394
01:25:59,839 --> 01:26:02,009
I picked it up on my own.
1395
01:26:02,620 --> 01:26:03,689
Oh, great.
1396
01:26:09,696 --> 01:26:12,925
Apple.
1397
01:26:13,430 --> 01:26:15,009
We've got to move
on to vegetables.
1398
01:26:15,870 --> 01:26:17,910
Come on,
I've got a place for you.
1399
01:26:18,020 --> 01:26:19,529
Should relax those eyes a bit.
1400
01:26:21,970 --> 01:26:24,029
VIRGIL: Seeing sucks.
1401
01:26:24,689 --> 01:26:26,330
- You gotta be kidding.
- It sucks!
1402
01:26:26,339 --> 01:26:29,509
You can say that sitting here
in these prime viewing seats?
1403
01:26:29,533 --> 01:26:31,539
- Yes.
- Forget your eyes. Get your head examined.
1404
01:26:31,589 --> 01:26:32,589
I'm serious.
1405
01:26:33,729 --> 01:26:35,709
When I was blind,
and I couldn't see...
1406
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,029
Don't laugh.
I mean that people
1407
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:39,720
don't have any
expectations then.
1408
01:26:39,729 --> 01:26:42,890
They know what you are,
or they think they know.
1409
01:26:43,350 --> 01:26:45,970
And that's it. They get on with it.
They deal with it.
1410
01:26:46,810 --> 01:26:49,250
Yeah. Didn't exactly get what
you counted on here, did you?
1411
01:26:49,259 --> 01:26:50,259
Oh, boy.
1412
01:26:50,290 --> 01:26:52,259
Now, here's where
it gets complicated.
1413
01:26:52,270 --> 01:26:55,229
Now I can see, but I don't
know what I can see.
1414
01:26:55,580 --> 01:26:58,020
And then, because your eyes
play tricks on you,
1415
01:26:58,040 --> 01:26:59,850
you see things that
you don't want to see.
1416
01:27:00,267 --> 01:27:02,352
Like jealousy.
1417
01:27:04,229 --> 01:27:06,790
What's most important to you right now?
Seeing, or...
1418
01:27:07,751 --> 01:27:09,938
Amy.
1419
01:27:09,939 --> 01:27:10,939
That's what I thought.
1420
01:27:11,290 --> 01:27:14,740
So we're not talking eyes
here, we're talking the heart.
1421
01:27:15,157 --> 01:27:17,700
Look, the other night,
I was watching TV.
1422
01:27:18,660 --> 01:27:21,250
One of the major disadvantages
of regaining sight,
1423
01:27:21,259 --> 01:27:21,890
by the way.
1424
01:27:22,259 --> 01:27:23,919
And there was this
famous pianist...
1425
01:27:23,943 --> 01:27:24,410
A what?
1426
01:27:24,460 --> 01:27:28,870
A piano player, and he's
about 6, 700 years old.
1427
01:27:29,286 --> 01:27:30,335
- And...
- Is this gonna be a long story?
1428
01:27:30,359 --> 01:27:31,089
Could be.
1429
01:27:31,100 --> 01:27:33,810
And they bring out
this 7-year-old prodigy
1430
01:27:33,819 --> 01:27:35,580
who sits down and plays Chopin,
1431
01:27:36,169 --> 01:27:38,910
backwards and forwards, with
one arm tied behind his back,
1432
01:27:38,919 --> 01:27:40,649
spinning plates. Brilliant.
1433
01:27:42,069 --> 01:27:44,300
And the old master
listened appreciatively,
1434
01:27:44,810 --> 01:27:46,009
and at the end he said,
1435
01:27:46,850 --> 01:27:49,470
"You played the piano very well."
1436
01:27:49,879 --> 01:27:53,549
"Maybe one day
you will learn to make music."
1437
01:27:56,390 --> 01:27:57,970
I think I know
what you're saying.
1438
01:27:58,020 --> 01:28:00,919
I don't know if I'll ever be
able to make music.
1439
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:02,970
You just gotta focus.
1440
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,310
Here. See my hand?
1441
01:28:06,060 --> 01:28:07,080
- Yeah.
- All right.
1442
01:28:07,899 --> 01:28:11,220
Now focus on it.
Forget about everything else.
1443
01:28:11,229 --> 01:28:14,620
And that will be
difficult here, but just look.
1444
01:28:19,279 --> 01:28:23,080
And your point is?
Okay, so, that's what, seeing?
1445
01:28:23,114 --> 01:28:26,878
No, grasshopper.
That's looking. Looking.
1446
01:28:27,109 --> 01:28:29,279
You watch the fist.
You see it's going to hit you.
1447
01:28:29,290 --> 01:28:30,830
- But did you want it to hit you?
- No.
1448
01:28:30,839 --> 01:28:34,859
No. That's looking. Virgil,
my advice after three beers?
1449
01:28:35,259 --> 01:28:37,399
You'll see a lot,
but none of that matters
1450
01:28:37,410 --> 01:28:38,819
if you lose sight
of what you want.
1451
01:28:43,509 --> 01:28:44,509
I love it.
1452
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:51,059
But I don't care for the trees.
1453
01:28:55,319 --> 01:28:56,819
I think we should lose them.

it's not still here, right?

Just because you can't see it
doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
1525
01:33:46,319 --> 01:33:49,500
Right. Just because
you can't see things,
1526
01:33:50,649 --> 01:33:52,259
doesn't mean that
they don't exist.

doesn't excuse how I've acted.
1532

See, I thought I saw you slipping
further and further away from me.
1533
01:34:18,209 --> 01:34:21,570
And I didn't see that you
were slipping away from me.

why I didn't tell you,

but I want to
say this. When...

Well, Jennie came to see me
and I went to see my father.
1537
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:36,700
And I couldn't see him.
1538
01:34:39,149 --> 01:34:40,250
I was afraid.
1539
01:34:41,399 --> 01:34:43,270
Felt like I was
letting him down.
1540
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,259
Like I feel like
I've let you down.
1541
01:34:48,450 --> 01:34:49,939
The only thing I ever wanted
1542
01:34:52,189 --> 01:34:53,849
was to be whole.
1543
01:34:55,290 --> 01:34:57,509
Not just to be
able to ride a bike,
1544
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,722
or play in the playground like
other kids, or go on a date.
1545
01:35:06,100 --> 01:35:09,205
But to be whole,
to be needed by somebody,
1546
01:35:09,430 --> 01:35:10,770
like I needed them.
1547
01:35:14,370 --> 01:35:17,750
And the first time I ever felt like
that in my whole life was with you.
1548
01:35:22,430 --> 01:35:26,040
I know I have a lot to learn,
but I can see.

you to give up on me.

01:35:34,340 --> 01:35:35,340
I won't, Virgil.
1551
01:35:38,819 --> 01:35:40,040
When I was in Atlanta,
1552
01:35:40,049 --> 01:35:41,629
I realized how much I need you.
1553
01:35:44,930 --> 01:35:46,700
And I want you to
come home with me.
1554
01:35:49,950 --> 01:35:52,450
Up until
the operation five weeks ago,
1555
01:35:52,609 --> 01:35:55,469
Virgil had been a touch person.
1556
01:35:56,979 --> 01:35:59,429
Someone whose vocabulary,
whose whole sensibility,
1557
01:36:02,180 --> 01:36:07,589
whose picture of the world is
based on tactile, non-visual terms.
1558
01:36:08,965 --> 01:36:13,553
But now as a sighted person, by
focusing single-mindedly on his goal,
1559
01:36:15,845 --> 01:36:19,975
Virgil has a newfound ability
to understand distance, shape,
1560
01:36:22,049 --> 01:36:24,279
color, perspective.
1561
01:36:26,029 --> 01:36:28,890
And though there are still miles
to go in his learning process,
1562
01:36:29,350 --> 01:36:31,439
for all medical
intents and purposes
1563
01:36:31,450 --> 01:36:34,379
he is becoming a seeing person.
1564
01:36:34,819 --> 01:36:35,939
- Hey!
- What?
1565
01:36:36,970 --> 01:36:39,830
You want me to see, don't you?
Aren't I supposed to look?
1566
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,000
- Oh, my God!
- What?
1567
01:36:43,049 --> 01:36:45,629
She is so flirting with you.
1568
01:36:45,653 --> 01:36:47,339
What?
1569
01:36:47,363 --> 01:36:48,758
What's that look?
1570
01:36:48,759 --> 01:36:50,390
- What look?
- That look.
1571
01:36:50,399 --> 01:36:51,629
You got so many looks.
1572
01:36:53,060 --> 01:36:56,020
Uh, it was probably
a jealous look.
1573
01:37:00,129 --> 01:37:02,569
It was the response
to that look. Okay?
1574
01:37:03,639 --> 01:37:05,410
All right. You want
to see my other looks?
1575
01:37:05,460 --> 01:37:08,589
Okay.
This is what sad looks like.
1576
01:37:11,830 --> 01:37:14,028
Here is jubilation.
1577
01:37:14,029 --> 01:37:16,030
Yippee!
1578
01:37:16,031 --> 01:37:17,031
Careful.
1579
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,790
This is terrible fear.
1580
01:37:22,584 --> 01:37:25,087
Extreme suspicion.
1581
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:29,569
"I have an idea!"
1582
01:37:29,593 --> 01:37:31,011
(IMITATING A SEAL)
1583
01:37:32,429 --> 01:37:35,933
(IMITATING A CAT)
1584
01:37:39,311 --> 01:37:42,730
This is, "I love you."
1585
01:37:46,359 --> 01:37:47,859
Oh, this look I love.
1586
01:38:06,180 --> 01:38:08,600
VIRGIL: Yesterday,
the clouds...
1587
01:38:09,580 --> 01:38:11,609
No, in the sky, not my eyes.
1588
01:38:12,620 --> 01:38:16,290
Purple. Purple is
the most amazing color.
1589
01:38:18,151 --> 01:38:21,679
And Amy said
yesterday that we saw birds.
1590
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:22,859
Um, what were they?
1591
01:38:23,339 --> 01:38:24,729
- Pigeons.
- Pigeons.
1592
01:38:24,799 --> 01:38:26,259
Tell her about the fish market.
1593
01:38:26,270 --> 01:38:27,160
Dozens of them.
1594
01:38:27,210 --> 01:38:29,170
And the fish market.
Salmon and crabs and octopus.
1595
01:38:32,149 --> 01:38:33,839
How does anyone eat an octopus?
1596
01:38:36,620 --> 01:38:38,109
But I'll call you soon,
all right?
1597
01:38:38,133 --> 01:38:39,677
Okay.
1598
01:38:40,839 --> 01:38:42,040
Me, too. Bye.
1599
01:38:42,719 --> 01:38:44,370
Okay, close your eyes.
1600
01:38:46,998 --> 01:38:50,311
A present.
1601
01:38:50,669 --> 01:38:51,879
(GASPS) A tie!
1602
01:38:52,870 --> 01:38:54,709
It's a large tie, too.
1603
01:38:57,609 --> 01:38:59,819
There's going to be
an opening for the lobby,
1604
01:38:59,910 --> 01:39:01,240
and they're gonna have a party,
1605
01:39:01,580 --> 01:39:04,490
and I thought that we could
both dress up to celebrate
1606
01:39:04,500 --> 01:39:07,169
because it's your first time
seeing any of my work finished.
1607
01:39:07,193 --> 01:39:09,653
It's great.
1608
01:39:12,189 --> 01:39:13,250
What's the matter?
1609
01:39:13,274 --> 01:39:14,354
Nothing. It's really great.
1610
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:17,379
I like it a lot.
1611
01:39:18,150 --> 01:39:20,910
You sure?
It looks like it fits.
1612
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:24,529
You look great in it.
1613
01:39:26,865 --> 01:39:28,492
Thanks.
1614
01:39:55,226 --> 01:39:58,938
Hey, Virg!
Virg! Where are you going?
1615
01:40:07,864 --> 01:40:11,117
Okay.
1616
01:40:13,509 --> 01:40:15,279
- What does that mean?
- What?
1617
01:40:17,340 --> 01:40:19,420
This... You did with your
mouth, what does that mean?
1618
01:40:21,226 --> 01:40:25,146
Well, I'm only registering
sparks of activity.
1619
01:40:26,608 --> 01:40:30,318
Retinal sparks,
followed by nothing.
1620
01:40:30,319 --> 01:40:31,979
How long has this been going on?
1621
01:40:32,750 --> 01:40:34,229
A couple of days.
1622
01:40:35,230 --> 01:40:36,648
Have a seat.
1623
01:40:40,379 --> 01:40:42,019
Your retinal
function is down 10%.
1624
01:40:43,319 --> 01:40:46,210
I'm afraid the retinal disease
seems to have returned.
1625
01:40:47,130 --> 01:40:50,640
But you corrected that.
I was healed of that. So...
1626
01:40:52,434 --> 01:40:53,150
Well, I...
1627
01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:56,140
I mean, I don't know whether you
didn't have the blood vessels
1628
01:40:58,700 --> 01:41:01,319
to supply enough
oxygen to your retinas.
1629
01:41:02,890 --> 01:41:05,430
I wish there were
an easy way to say this.
1630
01:41:15,356 --> 01:41:18,155
When?
1631
01:41:18,205 --> 01:41:19,415
Well, it's hard to say.
1632
01:41:21,542 --> 01:41:23,544
A month, two weeks.
1633
01:41:26,213 --> 01:41:27,213
Today?
1634
01:41:30,718 --> 01:41:34,095
I don't know.
1635
01:42:40,540 --> 01:42:42,909
You look good.
1636
01:42:42,910 --> 01:42:45,540
Hey, how do I look?
1637
01:42:48,990 --> 01:42:50,430
I want some answers.
1638
01:42:51,850 --> 01:42:53,109
Why did you leave?
1639
01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:55,709
Did you leave
because I was blind
1640
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,290
or because I gave up
on your idea of me seeing?
1641
01:42:59,319 --> 01:43:00,319
To the point.
1642
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:03,109
I like that.
Something you got from me.
1643
01:43:03,540 --> 01:43:04,580
You make jokes?
1644
01:43:04,970 --> 01:43:07,689
I haven't seen you in 20
years, you find out I can see,
1645
01:43:08,500 --> 01:43:09,309
you wanna see me
and you make jokes?
1646
01:43:09,310 --> 01:43:11,580
Look, Virg, can we talk
about this later?
1647
01:43:11,589 --> 01:43:13,939
No, answer my question.
Why did you leave?
1648
01:43:18,959 --> 01:43:22,959
I woke up every morning
and looked at you and failure.
1649
01:43:23,629 --> 01:43:24,720
My own failures.
1650
01:43:26,410 --> 01:43:28,319
If I couldn't get my
own son to see, then...
1651
01:43:32,093 --> 01:43:35,136
But it's water under
the bridge now, right?
1652
01:43:35,596 --> 01:43:38,139
You can see!
1653
01:43:38,974 --> 01:43:40,493
Hell, I knew you could.
1654
01:43:40,859 --> 01:43:42,049
Yeah, I can see.
1655
01:43:44,779 --> 01:43:46,270
And I'm going blind again.
1656
01:43:49,180 --> 01:43:50,899
You're the first
person I've told.
1657
01:43:52,830 --> 01:43:54,149
I wanted to see your face,
1658
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:57,009
I wanted to look in your eyes
while you explained my whole life.
1659
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:00,406
You know what you did to Jennie?
1660
01:44:00,430 --> 01:44:01,790
Do you know what
you did to my mom?
1661
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,350
You shouldn't
have done that, Dad.
1662
01:44:07,649 --> 01:44:08,750
You shouldn't have left.
1663
01:44:10,102 --> 01:44:12,104
You shouldn't have left.
1664
01:44:48,180 --> 01:44:51,640
Yeah, a little bit higher.
Like an inch, half-inch. Good.
1665
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:56,060
Hold that thought. Wait. Hey!
1666
01:44:58,209 --> 01:44:59,350
What are you doing here?
1667
01:45:02,819 --> 01:45:05,359
God, I didn't want you to see it yet.
It's not done.
1668
01:45:05,390 --> 01:45:06,669
I came to see you.
1669
01:45:07,930 --> 01:45:09,820
I wanted to tell you
something. Come here.
1670
01:45:12,950 --> 01:45:15,529
I had this idea, okay?
Now bear with me.
1671
01:45:15,540 --> 01:45:17,529
But because things are just
going so great right now,
1672
01:45:17,540 --> 01:45:20,200
and you're doing so well, and
we're almost done with this job,
1673
01:45:20,209 --> 01:45:21,879
and I think I've got
the Atlanta Mall coming in,
1674
01:45:21,890 --> 01:45:23,410
so we've got some
more money coming in,
1675
01:45:23,839 --> 01:45:25,770
I thought that maybe
we could take a trip,
1676
01:45:25,810 --> 01:45:27,670
a sort of a, um, a
"seeing" celebration.
1677
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:28,979
A "seeing" celebration?
1678
01:45:30,522 --> 01:45:32,209
Yeah.
1679
01:45:33,390 --> 01:45:34,869
I thought that we
could go to Egypt.
1680
01:45:36,839 --> 01:45:38,479
And you and I could both
see the pyramids
1681
01:45:38,490 --> 01:45:39,890
for the first time together.
1682
01:45:39,914 --> 01:45:40,914
Amy...
1683
01:45:40,939 --> 01:45:42,589
And then I could
take you to Paris
1684
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:43,709
and I could show you
1685
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:45,120
the Notre Dame Cathedral
1686
01:45:45,129 --> 01:45:46,310
with the gargoyles...
1687
01:45:46,319 --> 01:45:49,089
(ECHOING) And the water with the
light on it and the stained glass.
1688
01:45:49,189 --> 01:45:50,750
It's so beautiful,
you're gonna love it.
1689
01:45:50,759 --> 01:45:53,149
There are so many things that
I really want to show you.
1690
01:45:53,173 --> 01:45:55,692
And the windows and the water
1691
01:45:55,830 --> 01:45:57,770
and we'd just have
the most wonderful time.
1692
01:45:58,479 --> 01:45:59,479
What do you think?
1693
01:46:02,390 --> 01:46:05,476
I think...
1694
01:46:11,109 --> 01:46:13,080
There is one
place I'd like to see.
1695
01:48:16,994 --> 01:48:20,141
Virgil!
1696
01:48:20,165 --> 01:48:21,291
Virgil.
1697
01:48:24,373 --> 01:48:25,373
Are you okay?
1698
01:48:26,250 --> 01:48:27,279
The puffy thing.
1699
01:48:28,910 --> 01:48:30,879
This is the puffy thing?
This is the cloud?
1700
01:48:32,548 --> 01:48:34,435
You found the puffy thing?
Oh, my God! It's cotton candy!
1701
01:48:34,459 --> 01:48:35,459
Oh, my God!
1702
01:48:50,890 --> 01:48:52,720
AMY: Thank you so much
for taking me here.
1703
01:48:52,729 --> 01:48:53,799
This was wonderful.
1704
01:48:59,679 --> 01:49:03,034
Are you okay?
1705
01:49:03,058 --> 01:49:04,684
Yeah, I'm just
having a bad eye day.
1706
01:49:08,772 --> 01:49:10,691
There's a lot to take in.
1707
01:49:12,443 --> 01:49:14,528
I'm okay now. It's just...
1708
01:49:17,740 --> 01:49:19,200
I'm sorry.
There's these people
1709
01:49:20,034 --> 01:49:20,850
who want to get
by over here and...
1710
01:49:20,900 --> 01:49:22,520
- What?
- These people over here on the right.
1711
01:49:22,529 --> 01:49:24,000
- On the right.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
1712
01:49:24,024 --> 01:49:25,693
Jesus.
1713
01:49:30,589 --> 01:49:34,500
Honey, what's going on? What's
happening with your eyes?
1714
01:49:37,712 --> 01:49:38,712
Blackouts.
1715
01:49:38,879 --> 01:49:40,240
This one's the longest.
1716
01:49:41,579 --> 01:49:43,319
I just want to go home, okay?
1717
01:49:43,369 --> 01:49:45,390
But, baby, wait. One second.
1718
01:49:46,979 --> 01:49:49,140
Has this happened before today?
1719
01:49:55,879 --> 01:49:57,060
I'm going blind.
1720
01:49:57,084 --> 01:49:58,835
What?
1721
01:50:01,609 --> 01:50:04,879
What do you mean? What's wrong?
I mean, what...
1722
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:06,899
You've had blackouts,
1723
01:50:06,910 --> 01:50:08,310
maybe your eyes
are just overworked.
1724
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:11,270
You've been seeing so much.
You've been getting so excited.
1725
01:50:11,294 --> 01:50:12,010
No, no.
1726
01:50:12,060 --> 01:50:13,810
We can,
we can go to the doctor and...
1727
01:50:14,799 --> 01:50:16,580
And he'll tell us
what's happening, I mean,
1728
01:50:17,129 --> 01:50:19,089
maybe, you know,
it's just been too fast...
1729
01:50:19,113 --> 01:50:21,198
Amy, Amy. Can we just go home?
1730
01:50:26,870 --> 01:50:28,149
Baby, let's go to the doctor.
1731
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:29,450
I saw Dr. Aaron.
1732
01:50:29,459 --> 01:50:30,970
There's nothing they can do.
1733
01:50:30,979 --> 01:50:33,180
We'll go to another doctor.
Let's go to another doctor.
1734
01:50:33,189 --> 01:50:34,810
Amy, what do you want me to say?
1735
01:50:34,819 --> 01:50:36,450
You want me to explain it
in some different way?
1736
01:50:36,459 --> 01:50:37,580
I'm going blind.
1737
01:50:37,604 --> 01:50:39,284
- Well, let's...
- That's what's happening.
1738
01:50:40,202 --> 01:50:41,638
I'm going blind.
1739
01:50:41,662 --> 01:50:43,373
I just want to go home.
1740
01:50:45,041 --> 01:50:47,501
Baby, don't give up.
1741
01:50:49,958 --> 01:50:51,770
We got to just...
1742
01:50:51,794 --> 01:50:53,087
I just want to go home.
1743
01:51:00,428 --> 01:51:03,972
It was a good game.
1744
01:51:21,109 --> 01:51:22,109
What are you doing?
1745
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:24,560
I'm leaving.
1746
01:51:24,887 --> 01:51:26,138
What do you mean?
1747
01:51:27,055 --> 01:51:28,255
You're leaving this apartment?
1748
01:51:31,290 --> 01:51:33,120
You're leaving New York?
Or you're leaving me?
1749
01:51:34,589 --> 01:51:35,589
I'm going home.
1750
01:51:38,890 --> 01:51:40,499
What,
are you going home to Jennie?
1751
01:51:46,750 --> 01:51:48,310
Is she gonna take
care of you now?
1752
01:51:48,799 --> 01:51:50,700
I'm not going through
this bullshit again.
1753
01:51:50,724 --> 01:51:53,539
Bullshit?
1754
01:51:53,540 --> 01:51:55,500
Is that's what this has been to you?
Bullshit?
1755
01:51:55,509 --> 01:51:57,049
Yes, it's bullshit.
1756
01:51:57,089 --> 01:51:58,500
Who are we kidding?
1757
01:51:59,970 --> 01:52:01,979
I'm blind. I can't see.
1758
01:52:02,820 --> 01:52:05,069
Okay? I don't belong here.
I'm not meant to see.
1759
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:06,779
God damn right, you're blind.
1760
01:52:06,790 --> 01:52:09,270
I'm standing right here for
you, and you don't even look.
1761
01:52:11,870 --> 01:52:13,060
Why are you shutting me out?
1762
01:52:13,069 --> 01:52:15,160
Why didn't you tell me
what was going on with you?
1763
01:52:17,870 --> 01:52:20,839
Do you know why I remembered
the cotton candy?
1764
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,490
Because it's
the one thing in my life
1765
01:52:24,500 --> 01:52:26,479
I remember with my
father that was good.
1766
01:52:26,490 --> 01:52:27,819
Everything else,
after I went blind,
1767
01:52:27,820 --> 01:52:29,180
is him pushing and pushing,
trying to
1768
01:52:29,189 --> 01:52:30,930
make me into
something that I'm not.
1769
01:52:30,939 --> 01:52:33,060
And then he turns his back
on me when his plans fail.
1770
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:35,180
But I'm not
turning my back on you.
1771
01:52:35,879 --> 01:52:38,540
I promised you that I wouldn't
give up on you and I'm not.
1772
01:52:38,549 --> 01:52:40,299
I'm not asking you
to give up on me.
1773
01:52:40,310 --> 01:52:42,819
I'm asking you to give up
on the idea of me seeing!
1774
01:52:42,959 --> 01:52:45,819
Listen, didn't you want
something more out of your life?
1775
01:52:45,830 --> 01:52:48,220
That's all I wanted to
give you a chance for.
1776
01:52:49,009 --> 01:52:50,890
Jesus Christ! I mean, did you
think you were gonna
1777
01:52:50,899 --> 01:52:52,620
be sitting there in
that little school bus
1778
01:52:52,629 --> 01:52:55,189
and working in the spa
the rest of your life?
1779
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:56,310
Didn't you have dreams?
1780
01:52:56,319 --> 01:52:57,609
Didn't you want to see or learn
1781
01:52:57,620 --> 01:52:58,839
or do more than that?
1782
01:52:59,470 --> 01:53:01,549
You have so much
to give of yourself.
1783
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:04,149
And so much to be taken away.
1784
01:53:04,173 --> 01:53:06,383
No, God damn it.
1785
01:53:08,427 --> 01:53:09,803
Damn it.
1786
01:53:12,306 --> 01:53:13,306
Your sculpture.
1787
01:53:18,580 --> 01:53:19,439
I'm sorry.
1788
01:53:19,463 --> 01:53:20,714
I just...
1789
01:53:23,740 --> 01:53:25,279
We both didn't
get what we wanted.
1790
01:53:25,947 --> 01:53:27,782
I wanted you.
1791
01:53:31,899 --> 01:53:33,500
When you asked me here,
did you ever think
1792
01:53:33,509 --> 01:53:35,279
for one minute it
wouldn't work out? That...
1793
01:53:36,430 --> 01:53:38,100
I might not be able to see?
1794
01:53:40,830 --> 01:53:42,970
Did you ever think about
what it would be like to
1795
01:53:44,049 --> 01:53:45,970
just be with me?
1796
01:53:45,994 --> 01:53:47,662
With a blind man?
1797
01:53:54,585 --> 01:53:57,923
There's my answer.
1798
01:54:36,670 --> 01:54:39,735
Jessie! Look at you!
1799
01:54:41,270 --> 01:54:42,390
Let me look at you.
1800
01:54:42,414 --> 01:54:45,082
What a beautiful color you are.
1801
01:54:46,002 --> 01:54:47,127
Good dog.
1802
01:54:51,080 --> 01:54:53,849
Everything's the same as when you left.
Nothing's changed.
1803
01:56:38,250 --> 01:56:40,109
- JENNIE: Hello.
- Hi.
1804
01:56:40,133 --> 01:56:41,717
Hi.
1805
01:56:43,439 --> 01:56:44,500
Hey, Jess.
1806
01:56:46,293 --> 01:56:47,752
Hi.
1807
01:56:49,754 --> 01:56:52,091
I picked up some things at the store.
Some T-shirts.
1808
01:56:53,759 --> 01:56:55,209
Socks, you're probably out.
1809
01:56:56,167 --> 01:56:57,395
You look so beautiful.
1810
01:56:58,950 --> 01:57:00,879
Why didn't you tell
me you were beautiful?
1811
01:57:02,671 --> 01:57:04,711
I just told you what you
needed to know, that's all.
1812
01:57:06,390 --> 01:57:07,390
Look at me.
1813
01:57:09,910 --> 01:57:11,240
Why do people look away?
1814
01:57:14,979 --> 01:57:15,790
What do you want?
1815
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:17,509
I want to see you.
1816
01:57:19,919 --> 01:57:21,279
Isn't there
anything more you want?
1817
01:57:22,509 --> 01:57:25,120
You've spent your whole life
as blind as I was.
1818
01:57:25,799 --> 01:57:27,379
Virgil, please.
1819
01:57:28,240 --> 01:57:31,850
This is your home. Don't worry about
things that don't matter to you.
1820
01:57:31,859 --> 01:57:33,838
You're safe here,
where everybody knows you.
1821
01:57:33,839 --> 01:57:34,999
But you matter to me, Jennie.
1822
01:57:36,029 --> 01:57:39,129
This was a great place to grow up.
It was very safe.
1823
01:57:40,680 --> 01:57:41,779
But I grew up.
1824
01:57:43,899 --> 01:57:46,729
I can't even imagine
the things you gave up for me.
1825
01:57:47,529 --> 01:57:49,750
I just want to look at you.
Look at me, Jennie.
1826
01:57:51,569 --> 01:57:54,910
I want to say thank you. I love
you from the bottom of my soul.
1827
01:57:56,180 --> 01:57:58,040
And I want to give
you your life back.
1828
01:58:05,967 --> 01:58:07,651
I can't.
1829
01:58:09,629 --> 01:58:10,770
Yes, you can.
1830
01:58:14,065 --> 01:58:17,318
Jennie,
1831
01:58:18,485 --> 01:58:21,739
I'm reaching out.
1832
01:59:30,490 --> 01:59:33,339
VIRGIL: Growing up blind,
I had two dreams.
1833
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:36,049
One was to see
1834
01:59:36,839 --> 01:59:39,729
and the other was to play
hockey for the New York Rangers.
1835
01:59:41,990 --> 01:59:46,370
After the miracle of my
brief period of sight,
1836
01:59:46,689 --> 01:59:48,049
if I had to choose,
1837
01:59:48,810 --> 01:59:51,859
I think I'd rather play hockey
for the New York Rangers.
1838
01:59:51,883 --> 01:59:53,050
(LAUGHTER)
1839
01:59:53,100 --> 01:59:55,100
It wasn't that
seeing was so bad.
1840
01:59:56,220 --> 01:59:57,729
I saw a lot of things.
1841
01:59:58,064 --> 01:59:59,358
Some were really beautiful.
1842
02:00:01,939 --> 02:00:03,520
Others were scary.
1843
02:00:04,779 --> 02:00:07,159
Some things I'm
already forgetting.
1844
02:00:09,620 --> 02:00:11,038
A particular look
in a pair of eyes,
1845
02:00:14,624 --> 02:00:16,460
clouds,
1846
02:00:18,779 --> 02:00:23,459
those images will stay with me
long after the light fades.
1847
02:00:26,089 --> 02:00:28,270
As a blind man,
I think that I see
1848
02:00:30,169 --> 02:00:34,009
um, a lot better than I
did while I was sighted.
1849
02:00:36,140 --> 02:00:39,240
Because I don't really think
we see with our eyes.
1850
02:00:40,179 --> 02:00:43,500
I think we live in darkness when
1851
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,950
we don't look at
what's real about ourselves,
1852
02:00:48,330 --> 02:00:51,479
or about others, or about life.
1853
02:00:51,613 --> 02:00:54,157
I think no
operation can do that.
1854
02:00:56,993 --> 02:00:58,922
And
1855
02:00:58,972 --> 02:01:00,532
when you see what's
real about yourself,
1856
02:01:04,679 --> 02:01:05,979
then you've seen a lot.
1857
02:01:06,669 --> 02:01:07,669
Good boy.
1858
02:01:07,709 --> 02:01:09,259
And you don't
need eyes for that.
1859
02:01:09,283 --> 02:01:11,410
Want a bite?
1860
02:01:28,209 --> 02:01:29,250
- AMY: You missed.
- Missed?
1861
02:01:29,274 --> 02:01:31,276
Amy?
1862
02:01:32,277 --> 02:01:33,488
Hey.
1863
02:01:34,655 --> 02:01:35,948
Hi.
1864
02:01:44,430 --> 02:01:45,790
I was just in the neighborhood.
1865
02:01:49,320 --> 02:01:51,740
No. Phil told me that
you were working here,
1866
02:01:52,299 --> 02:01:54,640
and I thought maybe I
could find you in the park.
1867
02:01:57,939 --> 02:01:59,160
I rushed, didn't I?
1868
02:02:00,700 --> 02:02:03,390
Fourteen paces to the tree, and
I made us slam right into it.
1869
02:02:04,470 --> 02:02:05,470
We tried.
1870
02:02:06,310 --> 02:02:07,310
Are you happy?
1871
02:02:09,879 --> 02:02:11,069
I'm trying to be.
1872
02:02:12,750 --> 02:02:14,939
Work is good.
I went out on my own.
1873
02:02:16,564 --> 02:02:17,340
What happened to Duncan?
1874
02:02:17,390 --> 02:02:19,009
He's building mini-malls.
1875
02:02:20,594 --> 02:02:23,320
Where's Jessie?
1876
02:02:23,370 --> 02:02:26,589
Jessie's at home with Jennie.
This is Pierce.
1877
02:02:27,169 --> 02:02:30,430
My new dog. He's a good boy.
1878
02:02:31,259 --> 02:02:32,459
Hello, Pierce. Hello, sweetie.
1879
02:02:38,589 --> 02:02:40,370
Virgil,
I finished the sculpture.
1880
02:02:40,420 --> 02:02:43,798
I didn't know where it was
going to go, but that was okay.
1881
02:02:48,509 --> 02:02:51,490
I really enjoyed letting
it take on its own life.
1882
02:02:51,750 --> 02:02:53,959
Letting it be just what it was,
1883
02:02:54,339 --> 02:02:56,890
without me pushing
or doubting myself.
1884
02:02:59,279 --> 02:03:00,899
And what it was, was beautiful.
1885
02:03:03,299 --> 02:03:04,720
I saw the horizon.
1886
02:03:06,419 --> 02:03:07,520
It's out there.
1887
02:03:09,709 --> 02:03:12,250
Even though I may not
ever be able to touch it,
1888
02:03:14,379 --> 02:03:15,689
it's worth reaching for.
1889
02:03:19,970 --> 02:03:21,080
You showed me that.
1890
02:03:26,259 --> 02:03:27,259
Thank you.
1891
02:03:37,609 --> 02:03:39,120
Do you want to walk?
1892
02:03:39,189 --> 02:03:40,310
See what we see?
1893
02:03:42,729 --> 02:03:45,029
Yeah, just see what we see.
1894
02:04:15,935 --> 02:04:19,814
