In the Dark Page #2

Synopsis: On the way home from an art gallery featuring her work, a talented artist, Ali (Rohm), her husband (Muldoon), and their young child get into a car accident. The woman's husband and child die on impact, while the woman survives, but loses her eyesight. At her doctor's suggestion, Ali hires a caretaker named Jeff (Page) to help her adjust to life as a blind woman, and upon returning home, Jeff's aid proves to be indispensable in helping her acclimate; Ali even meets and quickly befriends her new neighbor, Linda (Elizabeth). It is soon apparent, however, that Jeff is becoming increasingly possessive and jealous of Ali, and his obsession rapidly turns violent when Ali decides she needs less of his assistance because she is ready to resume living independently. Unsurprisingly, Jeff does not take the request well, and Ali is soon forced to use her remaining senses to fight for her life.

I want to live my life.

It's not me.

Hello?

Hello?

Jeffrey?

Hello, Ali Lear.

Ali, good morning.

Dr. Weinette,

how are you?

I should be asking you that.

Well, I'm good.

Oh, well,

I'm glad to hear that.

I was planning on

dropping by

in a few days and checking in

on you in person.

You should come by, Doctor.

I would love to see you.

I will.

Okay, looking forward

to it.

Me too.

See you soon.

Bye.

Just a minute!

Ow!

Hi.

Good morning.

Ow.

What's the matter?

Oh, I just hit my leg

on the table.

I missed my spot.

Bagels? I smelled them

before I opened the door.

Your senses are increasing.

That's good.

Is it my turn to make

the coffee?

Yep. After breakfast,

I'm going to go to the market.

I want to come!

On course.

Okay, now you're about--

from the curb.

Slow.

You can hear the traffic

a little bit.

A little bit more

to your right.

That's the cross

signal button.

Go over and push it.

There it is.

Now, listen for

the signal.

AUTOMATED VOICE:

Wait.

Okay, here goes.

Okay, there you go.

Oh!

That was a huge

leap of faith.

You did great.

We all go

once around

Mostly up

Sometimes down

Don't bring me

down

Beautiful flowers.

Oh, flowers!

Hello again!

Hello.

I'm Linda, your

new neighbour.

Your only neighbour,

from the looks of things.

Oh, right. The girl

we saw the other day.

I was just moving in.

Well, it's nice

to meet you.

I'm Ali and this is

my aid, Jeffrey.

Hi.

I'm sorry, I didn't

even realize--

Don't apologize, please.

It's embarrassing.

Well, it's nice to

officially meet you both.

I was feeling kind of lonely

across the street

all by myself.

Well, come by

any time!

Really?

Yeah.

Let me-- let me

show you something.

They have the best

incense over here.

Can I-- do you

want to go with me?

Yeah, sure, sure!

How long have you

lived here?

Oh, a long time.

Seven years.

Oh, wow!

Yeah.

Oh, I can't wait to learn

the neighbourhood.

I'm going to make you

dinner.

Okay, great.

It'll be nice to have

a friend nearby.

What does she

look like?

I don't know--

brown hair.

I think she liked you.

Why would you

say that?

'Cause she perked up when

she heard you were my aid.

I guess she thought

we were a couple.

The studio door

is open.

Yeah, I thought I heard

something there this morning.

It was just my imagination.

Want me to close it?

Doesn't matter.

Well, you asked me

not to go in there.

Well, that was before

I knew you.

Go ahead,

look around.

Your work is really inspiring.

Thank you.

You know, you could still

do those things.

No.

At least the sculpting.

You're always saying you have

nothing but time on your hands.

I'm not ready yet.
