Blink Page #3

Synopsis: Emma is an attractive girl in her 20s who has been blind for 20 years. A new type of eye operation partially restores her sight, but she is having problems: sometimes she doesn't "remember" what she's seen until later. One night she is awakened by a commotion upstairs. Peering out of her door, she sees a shadowy figure descending the stairs. Convinced that her neighbour has been murdered she approaches the police, only to find that she is unsure if it was just her new eyes playing tricks on her.

Wait!

Hey, lady,

watch where you're going!

I'm sorry, miss.

You're in the wrong place.

How did you get up here?

I took the stairs. Look,

can you help me or not?

I've got roll call

in a couple of minutes.

I'll give you

a case report form...

I want you to start

filling out...

and I'll help you

finish it later.

No, I can't do this.

Ridge, what about

this cross she's wearing?

Who's wearing a cross?

Nina Getz... the naked

dead girl in the bathtub.

Look, it's very simple.

Give a description...

of what it is you're

trying to tell me.

I told you! I need you

to go to 247 West Damen...

Excuse me.

Detective Hallstrom,

we just got here!

The watch has yet

to change. Ease up.

Get your feet off

the lieutenant's desk.

Go to 247 West Damen St.

My name is Emma Brody...

What do you want me

to do about it now?

How about some detective work

for a change, jagoff?

Jagoff?

Could I speak to

Detective Hallstrom?

Help yourself.

Is that...

is he over there?

Yes, right this way.

Thank you.

I got Nina Getz's parents

calling me on the hour.

You want to talk to them?

Are you

Detective Hallstrom?

Uh... yeah.

I'm trying to eat

my breakfast here.

Can I help you?

You were blind?

Until 6 weeks ago, yes.

You were blind completely

until 6 weeks ago?

Um, let me

get this straight.

I'm a little bit

confused here.

You heard some suspicious

noises upstairs...

and you hear this guy

coming down the stairs...

you look out,

and you spoke to him?

That was last night...

but you didn't see it

till this morning?

That's right. Yeah.

So, what is that?

Your eyes are

driving the train...

and your brain's the caboose...

it hasn't caught up yet?

I guess you could

say that, yeah.

So your eyes are having

a delayed reaction to reality?

I don't know

how to explain this.

It's something

that happens...

with some people who've

had this kind of surgery.

We're a little off-track.

I came here to tell you

I think something's wrong.

OK. It's all right.

Thank you.

Um... how long

were you blind?

Are there any cops

around here who work...

or do you just sit around

and drink coffee?

Now, did you happen

to consume...

any alcoholic beverages

last night?

You don't believe me?

Did you have

anything to drink?

It's a simple question.

- Wine.

- Wine?

Oh, wine.

How much... wine?

A little.

A lot, look...

If you'll excuse me...

I can see the seven dwarfs

doing cartwheels...

on a little...

a lot of wine.

I'm very happy for you.

Have a nice day,

Miss Brody.

There was someone

in that hallway.

I could smell him.

Smell?

What does it say on this?

F*** you, detective!

No. That's not

what it says.

Listen, lady...
