Blindness Page #3

Synopsis: A city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hoarding the meager food rations and committing horrific acts. There is, however, one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble.

I know, so I want you to relax.

In care of everything.

Okay, I will be fine.

If I need anything, you call.

I can not live long without you.

All right?

Let me behind you.

Do not worry, I got everything.

Good morning sir.

Good morning.

This is the car for the transfer.

Have cell phone, sir?

Yes

Can you pass it, please.

Bright.

Thank you, here.

Okay baby, thank you.

Thank you.

Do not you go away.

I'm asking.

No, no.

We take care of him.

No.

He was infected.

Then they will have to take me because

I just go blind.

I just go blind.

My God!

Attention, attention, attention.

The Government regrets being obliged to

exercise with all the urgency ...

... what it considers its legitimate right

to protect the citizen.

We are in a crisis situation.

We are experiencing an epidemic of blindness

known as white blindness.

We trust in the spirit of citizenship

and the collaboration of all ...

... to prevent new infections. The decision

to put temporarily ...

... those infected in quarantine

was made after analysis ...

carefully examined.

We guarantee that the isolation in which

are, is ...

... more than any staff assessment,

an act of solidarity ...

... with the rest of the nation.

Do not believe what I asked.

Let me guess, that voice ...

... it is me nuts.

It is fortunate that it can not see it.

Give fear.

It makes you wonder, what kind of idiot

puts a video on ...

... quarter of querentena for the blind.

Here.

We gotta get out of here.

Let's say that we see.

No, no, I will not leave.

I want to return home.

But, dear ...

Please return home.

If you want to save me ...

... but I'm fine, really!

This is what I want.

Okay.

I want to do that.

Anyway, it is already too late.

I think we will soon lose their vision.

You're right.

With our spirit of cooperation in mind,

I ask you to the attention of the ...

... following instructions that are

very simple.

I follow?

This is the room for autopsies.

Three?

Room two and three.

Doctor, how many rooms there?

Yes, sorry, there are other two quarters in

floor and another on floor ...

... low for people ...

How do you know that?

Explore a little before you arrive.

We chose this because it is closer

of entry, from which comes the food.

Well, at least someone is thinking. --

This is the idiot responsible for

we are here.

If I could see, you kill.

He is responsible for having stolen

my car.

What?

Are you serious?

If I had not had the decency to

stop and help you ...

I go to another room stay as far away

can this son of a b*tch.

Son of a b*tch who steals a blind.

They are fighting.

Stop right now. Stop.

Stop.

Stop it.

They are acting like children.
