Blind (2019) - full transcript

Faye (Sarah French), a former actress that lost her vision due to botched laser eye surgery, struggles to put her life back together while living alone in her dream house in the Hollywood ...

- Welcome to
Celebrities Uncovered.

I'm your host, Lisa Carmel.

Today, we're joined by
the lovely Faye Dayne,

star of the film "Fog Storm"

which opens nationwide
in theaters this Friday.

Thank you so much
for joining us today.

I know you were headed to a
special needs charity event.

We really appreciate you
welcoming us into your home.

Its my pleasure.

- So, yesterday we
interviewed Cage

regarding his role
in "Fog Storm".



Tell us a little bit
about your character.

- Megan is tough,
she goes through hell

but I love the fact
that she never gives up.

She always keeps fighting.

You seem
to have it all.

A career that's skyrocketing,

a house in the Hollywood hills.

- Isn't it beautiful?

You should see the
sunset, it's amazing.

It's probably my favorite
part of living here.

What's next for you?

- Well um, actually I'm
taking the next few weeks off.

My first real vacation in years.

And where you gonna go?



You got a boyfriend to
take along with you?

Milan, Paris?

- Actually I plan on
staying home and relaxing.

I never get to do that.

Maybe get laser surgery.

I'm so sick of wearing these
stupid contacts all the time.

Well whatever
you decide to do,

enjoy your time off.

All the buzz is that you've got

a really big hit on your hands.

All the early reviews
say this is gonna

be your best film yet.

Thank you,
so great to hear.

- Naturally.

Any last words?

- Go see "Fog Storm"
it's a lot of fun.

Coming.

♪ Safe my friend

♪ Are you gonna hold me

♪ Like you did before

♪ Take

♪ The place

♪ Put me on the outside

- I think I've got
like a bug in my ear,

like a gnat flew in my
ear and its like in there

and I, you know, I can't reach
for it, I can't get it out.

All these plants.

God damn, its like an
Amazonian jungle here

now I got hair in my mouth.

My girlfriend took me to
this Italian restaurant.

She said, "There's a guy here."

She's sighted.

"Guy here, he's got a lot
of hair in his ear's."

Do you think I'm
growing hair in my ears?

Women don't get the
hair in the ears.

Do they?

Are we here?

Its flat, are we here?

She said its a nest
of hair like...

We got it from here.

Yeah, I'm going in.

I'll be back in an hour

for the group meeting.

I'll see you soon.

- Okay, bye.

Here you go, Sophia.

- Thank you.

Not, sorry.

- Its good for you.

Exactly.

You're thinking.

- Think Luke will be upset if
I cancel hosting the meeting?

- I don't think
he'll say anything.

- Can you be serious
for a moment?

- I know, I know, I'm sorry.

Look, I, I know that
you're nervous, okay,

you still have so many
memories of your old life.

I don't have that problem,
I was born this way.

You want your old
life back, I get it.

- I can't help it.

- But it keeps you from
embracing your new life.

- I don't have a new life.

- But you could.

In case you haven't noticed,
Luke's got the hots for you.

- No he doesn't.

- Does he have to
spell it out for you?

- Really?

- Okay, that was an accident.

- How would that even work?

A blind girl and a mute guy.

- Not gonna know
unless you take a leap.

Got to take that first step.

We have a new
member to our group today.

Everyone welcome Lydia.

- Hi, Lydia.
- Hey, Lydia.

Lydia, would
you like to share

your story with us?

- I was in a car accident.

The man that was driving
the car that hit me

was intoxicated.

I can't remember what
he looks like anymore.

Funny how that fades with time.

But I can still smell his
breath if I think hard enough.

The stench of bourbon
and cigarettes.

I hit my head on
the steering wheel.

I'm not sure why the
air bag didn't inflate.

A mechanic checked
it after the accident

and it was in perfect
working order.

Just one of those
things, I guess.

I ended up with
cerebral hemorrhage.

At first, I could see a little
but everything was hazy.

What I wouldn't give
to have that back.

A week later, I lost
my vision completely.

I was left in darkness
while the man that hit me

he got away without a scratch.

But hey I can now smell a
donut shop from a mile away

so that's that.

Losing one sense

will lead your remaining
senses to heightened awareness.

- Bullshit.

You'll
notice that your sense

of hearing will improve.

Your sense of taste,
your sense of smell.

You'll begin to navigate
your environment much better.

Look at Faye.

Today she went on a
hike for the first time

since she lost her vision.

Did you ever think you
would do that again?

- No.

- But you did.

All of you are not disabled.

You must remember that.

You are not handicapped.

They are simply labels.

You are all so strong,
stronger than you know.

You can push the body
to remarkable heights

but nothing can compare
to what you can accomplish

with your mind when you
decide to trust your instincts

and focus on bettering yourself.

Its difficult, the most
difficult thing you will do.

You will have many bad days but
then you'll have a good day.

Those good days will
begin to stack up

and before you know it,
you have a good week,

then a good month,
then a good year.

We all struggle but together
we can achieve so much more.

- Bullshit.

Now that
wasn't so bad, was it?

How did it feel having a
house full of strangers?

- My anxiety level is at a 10.

- You are a 10.

Isn't that right, Luke?

Yes!

- It was quite the day today.

Did you
enjoy your hike?

- Yes.

I'm free tomorrow

if you want to do
another session.

- Sure.

You'll join us,
too, right, Sophia?

- Can't, me and Mark have plans.

We aint got shit.

- Great, so then its a plan.

The three of us again.

- Yay.

- Call Sophia.

Hi, Sophia.

- Hey, good morning.

You sound tired.

I didn't
sleep well last night.

- Neither did I.

- I'm calling to let you know
I have to cancel hiking today.

Is everything okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I just want to stay in.

I was gonna call
Luke to let him know

but I want to let
you know first.

- No need, I'm gonna go anyway.

You are?

- Yeah, I had a
great time yesterday.

- Okay, I'm sorry.

No worries.

- Bye.

You know, a lot
of people are into hiking.

I am not one of those people.

Then why come?

- I'm gonna be brutally
honest with you, okay.

Somebody's gotta help you
and Faye along, you know?

I mean, it's like some cheesy
romantic comedy, you know?

You guys are so sweet
it makes my teeth hurt.

You're into her, aren't you?

Aren't you?

Your turn to be honest.

Yes, I really like her.

- Well she's into you.

What's the problem?

I don't
know how to say it.

- Well--
- Shut up.

- Look, you treat her like
you would treat anyone.

Women like appreciation
and talking

and you know all that stuff.

What you really
need to give to her

is compliment her on her beauty.

She thinks she's lost it.

That is one
of the dumbest things

I have ever heard.

- Tell her that.

She's out of my league.

- Luke.

May I?

Sure.

- Wow, that's a lot of hair.

Sweetie, you got nothing
to be worried about.

Believe me, I've felt
a lot of men's faces,

I know what I'm talking about.

What should I do?

- I brought something
that I think you can use.

Its Wisdom Tree,
its her favorite scent, drives her crazy.

Put a little of that on.

When you go into the house,
ask to use the bathroom.

Then you make her laugh.

Oh that's it?

- Yeah, laughter.

Complete unrestrained,
uncontrolled emotion.

Counter balances sadness.

She's drowning in
that right now.

♪ All those times you told me

♪ You're the one for me

♪ So why can't we

♪ Take away the problems

♪ Never let you down

♪ All your tears
can fill the ocean ♪

♪ But I won't let you drown

- Give me a sec.

Don't say it, Sophia, I know.

I wussed out.

I'm just not sure I'm
ready to date yet.

Can I
use your bathroom?

- Luke, oh my god, I'm sorry.

I thought...

Yeah, come in.

Its, its down the
hall to the left.

Thank you.

- Sorry I was so weird.

Speaking of weird,

what did one phone say
to the other phone?

- I don't know.

Ring ring.

Ha ha ha ha.

May I sit down?

- Yes.

How was the hike?

It was great.

- That's awesome.

Did Sophia leave?

She said
she had to get home.

- I should give her a call.

Oh shit.

Are you wearing Wisdom Tree?

Yes.

- I used to love that.

Used to?

- Its been a long time.

I am sorry.

- No, its okay.

I like it.

I'm sorry I didn't go on the
hike with you guys today.

I couldn't sleep last night.

The anniversary of my
surgery is coming up

and its just a reminder
of what I lost.

Speaking of lost, do
you have my phone?

I programmed
my cell number

as speed dial number
three on your phone.

If you ever need someone,
please reach out.

I am a good listener.

- Thank you.

I didn't realize
you were so funny.

I always wanted to
work on a comedy.

It was the last genre
on my bucket list.

You still could.

- No.

Those days are long gone.

I got to live out my dreams

and most people never
get that opportunity.

I threw it all away for
something so stupid.

I'm stupid.

I should
probably get going.

- Okay.

I will see you
at the meeting next week.

- Yeah.

Goodbye.

- Where are you people?

God damn it, always so late.

Ridiculous.

Uh oh.

Uh, sorry.

Uh, you're on my stick.

You're on my stick.

What is this?

Luke?

Where am I?

What?

Hello?

Hello, is anyone here?

Hello?

Who's there?

- Dial Bejie Sushi.

Yes, I'd like an
order for delivery.

Yes.

I'd like to order
veggie sushi rolls.

No thank you.

Yes, charge the card on file.

Five dollars.

How long will it take?

Great, thank you very much.

- Sorry, I'm late.

You are my last delivery.

You're Megan Summers!

- That was a fun role.

- I've seen "Fog Storm"
at least 20 times.

The sequel sucked ass, though.

Why weren't you in it?

- I retired.

- That sucks.

Fuck, nobody's
gonna believe this.

Can I get your autograph?

- Sure, what's your name?

- Its for the credit
card transaction.

- Of course, I'm sorry.

You'll have to guide me.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Have a good night.

- Call Sophia.

Hey, Sophia.

I just realized I
never called you.

First of all, thank you
for blindsiding me today.

I made a complete fool of myself

and worst of all, I think
I made Luke feel bad.

Look, I know you're trying to
be a good friend and all but,

no that's the
wrong thing to say.

You've been a great friend.

I couldn't have made
it this far without you

and I truly hope you know that.

Having you in my life has
made me a better person.

I wish I could tell this to you
and not some stupid machine.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you
what happened with Luke today

and see what you think.

Give me a call when
you get this, okay?

I love you.

Yes, I think someone
broke into my house.

My door was open.

No, I've been home all day.

Yes.

11587 Deronda Drive.

- Good evening, ma'am.

We received a call
about a break in.

- Yes, that was me.

- May I come in?

- Absolutely.

- Ma'am are you,
uh, vision impaired?

- Yes, I'm blind.

- Okay.

And um, you live alone?

- Yes.

- And what makes you
think someone broke in?

- The door in my
bedroom was open.

- Where's, uh,
where's the bedroom?

- Its down the hall to the left.

- Ma'am, do any of the
lights in the house work?

- Maybe, I don't know.

- You wait here.

What's uh, what's in that room?

You'll have to
explain what you're looking at.

- Oh um, there's a door
at the end of the hall.

- Storage, I used to
go down to the basement

but I don't have that ability
to go down there anymore.

- Okay.

Its uh, its all clear.

Are you sure you didn't just
leave the, uh, door open?

- Yes.

- Are you positive?

- 100 percent.

- All right, um.

Is anything missing?

- A dress.

- And you're sure it
didn't just get misplaced?

- I know this house
inside and out.

I have to in order
to get around.

- It must be very difficult.

- Are you sure you
checked everywhere?

- Yes I...

I can do it again if it, if
it will make you feel better.

- No, that's okay.

- Is there, uh, is there any
other rooms beyond the, uh,

dining room?

- Just the kitchen but I
already went through there.

- I'll check it again anyways.

Well, everything's
fine in there.

Do you normally lock your doors?

- Yes but I've been
stressed lately.

I might have forgotten.

- I know we're up in the hills

and its a tendency to
think that we're safe.

This is still Los Angeles.

- I've dealt with
stalkers before.

I know it all too well.

I thought
you looked familiar.

- Typical, right?

Another crazy Hollywood actress.

- Are you gonna be okay, ma'am?

Is there someone I can call?

No, I'll be okay.

- All right I'll, I'll
canvas the neighborhood

just to be safe.

Its probably just some
kids or some super fan

trying to get a memento.

Keep your doors locked, okay?

- Thank you.

- You have a great night.

Yeah, Officer Jacobs, 11589
Redonda Drive, all clear.

Dial Luke.

Hi, Luke, its Faye.

I just wanted to call and say
I was sorry about earlier.

I know.

I just feel silly.

Um.

I was wondering if you
wanted to come over.

I know its getting late but...

Okay.

I'll see you soon.

Bye.

♪ My secret love

♪ Oh my secret love

Luke, you smell nice.

Come in.

I have something to say to
you and please hear me out.

This is very difficult for
me and I'm afraid if I stop

I'll never find the
courage to start again.

I've lived in the
public eye for so long

that I became accustomed
to always being looked at.

No matter where I
went, what I did

I could always sense eyes on me

and I was fine with that.

I knew what I was getting into

when I chose to be an actress.

Vanity is a part of
this whole thing.

Its all about who you know,
what you have, how you look.

I bought into it.

Hook, line, and sinker.

I let something as
stupid as wearing glasses

affect my whole life.

And now, I always have to
wear glasses when I go out.

Not that I go out much.

I've locked myself away.

Film was my life.

I lived for it.

Some of my favorite
childhood memories are tied

to the cinema.

I dreamed of seeing
myself on the big screen.

And now,

I can't see myself at all.

I was always self conscious.

I would spend hours
getting ready, trying

to make everything perfect

but I've realized
nothings perfect.

We all have our flaws

and we can't let that define us.

You've helped me realize that.

I never allowed
myself to be happy

because I can't
let go of the past.

But I'm ready.

I've achieved my dreams.

I've made it.

Even though I lost my
eyesight I can still see that.

I can also see that there
have been two bright lights

within my darkness.

Sophia's been my rock.

She's been there for me like
no other friend I've ever had.

I wouldn't be here without her.

And you, Luke.

You've been a
highlight of my life.

I never thought I'd meet someone

that would make me
feel like living again.

You make me want to go out there

and show the world
that I'm still alive.

I'm still alive.

I want to embrace the future.

I want to embrace it with you.

Not by leading me.

But by my side.

What I'm trying to say is

I think I love you.

You don't have to say anything.

If you want to join me in
this journey called life.

Please take my hand.

I haven't been able
to do this since...

I felt ugly.

I felt like a monster.

I never thought I'd let
another man look at me.

But I want you to.

I want you to see me.

All of me.

Please don't hurt me.
