Don't cut me.

a blind woman.

Look at that guy.

He's not even a windbreaker. It fits the
description.

Police officers, stop where you are.

You better look both ways before
crossing, man.

Is this yours?

Then is this yours?

Well, maybe a little jail time will
improve his disposition, huh? Ricky,

Spats said the victim's blind.

Yeah. Well, so is he.

All right, Josh, I'm going to ask you
again.

Why did you run?

I needed the exercise.

You always get around without a cane?

Try not to use it unless I have to.

What were you doing tonight?

Going to a movie.

You think we're playing games here?

Somebody has raped and slashed two blind
women in the last week. Now, if you're

not the guy, you better start convincing
me.

Casablanca is my favorite movie.

From before I was blind.

I can still hear the voices.

Anybody go with you?

Come on, you can't seriously believe I'm
a rapist. Why? Because you can't see?

You gave two cops a pretty good run for
their money. I take the alley home from

the institute every day. I know it
perfectly.

You go to the Hunter Institute?

That's right.

So do both rape victims.

And so do 200 other kids.

They weren't running down an alley 15
minutes after the rape.

Maybe that's because no cops were
chasing them.

Name's Josh Sanders.

He was blinded in a traffic accident two
years ago.

There's no criminal record whatsoever.

Both girls said the rapist found his way
in and out of their apartments without

making a sound.

I mean, how could a blind guy do that?

If he'd been there before.

Maybe he knows their rooms like he knew
that alley.

But since they can't ID him... He walks?

For now.

You and Ricky put a tail on him for the
next few days, and I'll have Carmela pay

special attention to him.

Watch it.

Football practice is outside.

Sorry, I'm such a klutz.

Thanks. I'm Ray Anson. I teach computer
science.

Carmela Pagan. It's my first day.

I'm always glad to welcome a new
student, especially such an attractive

You need anything, let me know.

I tutor on the side.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

Hi.

I'm Carmela Pagan.

I'm new here.

I figured. I haven't heard you around
campus before.

You must be the guy I bumped into back
there. I'm sorry. I don't know my way

around very well yet. You found me fast
enough.

Mr. Anson told me where you were.

Let me guess.

He offered to tutor you.

My advice is don't.

Why not?

Let's just say he doesn't always stick
to the curriculum.

You know, I noticed that. The guy's got
busy hands.

I was going to ask him to show me
around, but maybe I'll try and find

else.

Good luck.

Gee, you really know how to make a girl
feel welcome.

Listen, do you have five bucks I could
borrow?

What? I forgot my dessert money. I'll
pay you back tomorrow.

Sure.

You know, this is a five.

I keep different bills in different
sections of my bag.

If I made a mistake, I'm on back. I'll
try again.

You're the new girl, right?

I'm Paul Robert. This is Joey McDonald.

Hi. Carmela Pagan.

If he's bothering you, ma 'am, just let
us know. We specialize in resting down

to open the trap.

Stop it, McDonald.

Ah, don't mind him.

He's actually better than he used to be.

Yeah, he's gone from intolerable to
unbearable.

He's looking so bad.

I don't get it.

Why do girls always go for the surly
types?

Listen, I'm curious.

Why is he in such a bad mood all the
time?

He was a state wrestling champ in high
school. Good student, too.

But after the accident, he gave up
wrestling.

In fact, from what I can tell, he just
plain gave up.

What about his social life?

That's easy.

Every kid in school hates him, and the
feeling's mutual.

Well, from what the victims say, the
rapist needs to dominate.

He gets them to submit, then he mocks
them.

He doesn't just assault women, he
punishes them.

You think Josh is angry enough for that?

I don't know what to think.

Well, what do you feel?

He's not the one.

I mean, he's pretty hostile, but it's...
Well, up front?

Exactly. He doesn't hold anything back.

Not the kind to sneak up on people.

Or maybe he's bitter enough to be up
front and a sneak.

Anyhow, he's all we got, at least for
now.

Meanwhile, we'll run a background check
on everyone connected with the school.

Did you find anything on a guy named Ray
Anson?

He's a teacher there. He's not blind.

Not yet. Why?

Well, he kind of came on to me a little.

Offered to tutor me.

It might be how he gets to know his
victims. Maybe even seize their

We'll follow up on it.

I'll find out what I can when I'm at the
school tomorrow.

You're coming to school tomorrow?

I'm going to give the students some
safety tips until we catch this guy.

Attendance is mandatory.

Si, professor.

Rach?

Don't you just love it?

I might.

If I knew what it was.

It's art.

I just wonder if it might look better in
another room.

Which one?

The basement.

Tony, come on.

I happen to think it's beautiful.

And I got it for a deal.

$600.

That's still all right.

Well, actually, Tony, it's worth it.

We got a new baby in the house, another
kid who eats for five. I just don't

think it's the best time for us to be
buying stuff.

Stuff?

This is not stuff.

This is art, Tony. It's an investment.

Like real estate.

Can we rent it out?

The dealer told me that this was going
to be very valuable someday.

I may not know art, but I know what I
hate.

Fine.

I can take it back.

Maybe it'll grow on me.

Maybe in time I'll only...

Dislike it a lot.

Don't worry, ma 'am. You're okay now.

We've been tailing you, punk. We got you
this time.

Ricky, call a bomb.

You can't just come barging in here like
this. We were trying to protect you. I

don't need protection from him. All
right, hold it. Calm down.

I'm Police Commissioner Scali.

We saw him break in, boss. He came up
the fire escape.

I told you I'd have let him in.

And your name is? Janice Flannery. Josh
is a friend.

What did I tell you? I was just trying
to get some of my stuff.

And you chose to do this at midnight
because?

I didn't want her to be here. She was
supposed to be at work.

It's true. I'm a student nurse at County
General. I've been on late shifts, but

they changed my schedule.

Plus, she's not blind like all the other
victims.

This belongs to Josh?

Yes. Can I go now?

You can go.

Josh? Your trophies?

Throw them out.

Well, officers, until my next arrest.

It's ridiculous to think Josh would hurt
anyone.

If you knew him at all, you'd know that.

Guys, give us a minute. Yeah.

That was a... pretty good wrestler in
high school myself.

Josh wasn't pretty good.

He was great.

Before the accident, every college in
the country wanted him.

Must have been tough losing out on all
that.

Might make a guy pretty mad at the
world.

Josh Sanders is the most decent man I've
ever met in my life.

We were engaged.

And after the accident, He broke it off.

But you didn't want him to.

I knew there'd be problems, but I love
him.

I'd rather have him the way he is than
anybody else.

Have you told him that?

A thousand times.

But he shut everyone else out, and now
he's shut me out, too.

Don't be so sure of that.

He said that he didn't want you here
when he came by.

If he didn't still care, it wouldn't
matter to him one way or the other.

I've tried every way I can think of to
be there for him.

Maybe you ought to try letting him be
there for you.

Really? You really think so?

Hi, honey.

Oh, hi.

Tony, this is Mr.

Lancaster. Commissioner.

So nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Lancaster found out from the dealer
about our painting.

He said it might be valuable.

Really? You have a not -at -all -bad
Dubois.

Early abstract expressionist.

Is that good?

Dubois is no gawky, as I'm sure you're
aware.

However, as a collector, it might be of
some value to me.

How much value?

Wait a minute.

You didn't say that you wanted to buy
it. Now let's hear the man out, honey.

I'll give you 700 to complete my
collection.

No, I don't think so.

You drive a hard bargain, madam.

900. My best offer.

What do you think, honey?

Oh, I think it's a very fair offer.

But it's your painting.

I'm sorry, Mr.

Lancaster. It's not for sale.

I might want to pass it on to our
children.

And lastly, I brought this special
device that I'll hand out to the women.

It looks, feels, and works like an
ordinary spray can, but it could save

life.

Keep it with you day and night until we
catch this guy.

If you catch him.

We will.

Oh, yeah. Heck, you caught me twice in
one week.

Of course, that was only because you
snuck up right in front of me.

If possible, travel in groups.

And if any of you, male or female,
become aware of anything suspicious, let

know. Golly, Commissioner, I'm aware of
something suspicious.

Why don't you see me afterward?

No, I think everyone should hear this.

Carmela Pagan can see.

What's that supposed to be, a joke?

Come on, Josh, this is serious.

She showed up the day after I was
arrested and zeroed right in on me.

Of course, that made me suspicious.

So I asked her if I could borrow a $5
bill.

And it wasn't even folded.

Calm down.

Carmela Pagan is a police officer.

This school exists to build self
-reliance. To do that, we need the

trust. What you've done completely
undermines that.

What's undermining trust here are these
rapes.

We put Officer Pagan undercover with the
approval of the administration.

You should have checked with the
students and the faculty.

Putting ourselves in someone else's
hands goes against the grain here.

Mr. Anson, we appreciate your point, but
the police are trying to help us.

We're the victims here.

I'm sorry, boss.

It's not your fault.

We didn't have time to prep you like we
should have.

How's about passing out these alarms,
since you're not a student anymore?

You got it?

Commissioner Scali.

That's right.

I thought I recognized the footsteps.

What was all that about with the $5
bill?

Anybody who's really blindfolds their
money so they can tell one kind of bill

from another.

Her $5 wasn't even creased.

I need somebody new on the inside.

You interested?

I thought I was your favorite suspect.

I figure you can't be the perp.

You're too busy being the victim.

Oh, and you're a shrink, too.

Some drunk missed a red light.

It wasn't my fault.

He got a suspended sentence.

I didn't.

And that wasn't my fault.

You think you might feel like a victim
if that happened to you?

I'm sure I would.

But I'm also sure that your life doesn't
have to be over because you're blind.

You know, you're right. I could always
become an umpire.

Look, you have a very special woman who
loves you.

That's got to count for a lot.

You in love with anyone, Mr. Skelly?

My wife.

You know what it's like seeing her face
light up when you walk into the room?

Yeah. Well, that's something I'll never
see again.

I'm glad there's been no more feelings.

Well, none at all.

Hey, boss.

Hi. This is Paul Roberts and Joy
McDonald, Commissioner Scali.

Hi, Paul. Hi.

Hi. Hi. Nice to meet you. I was just
telling these guys I hope nobody feels

tricked by me being a cop and all.

Well, we're just glad something's being
done.

But does this mean you think that the
rapist is connected with the school

somehow? It's possible.

Oh.

Why?

Well, maybe I shouldn't say anything,
but there is a teacher here who gets

awfully friendly towards the female
students.

Ray Anson?

You know about him already?

You got any specifics?

Just a feeling.

You're not the only one.

Sometimes it just seems his interest is
a little... How do I say it?

Excessive?

Hey, guys, he's here.

Well, good luck.

Thanks.

Put a tail on Anson.

He leaves his house any time after dark.
I want to know about it. You got it.

So you think Josh is in the clear?

We'll tail him, too. But, yeah, I think
he's clean.

Then why did he run away that night?

My guess?

To test himself.

See if he could do it.

Also, he's the kind of guy who doesn't
mind causing a little trouble once in a

while. You got that right.

I'm not saying he doesn't have problems
I just don't think he's a rapist

Hi, Josh.

What are you doing here?

I got off work late and my car's in the
shop.

Could you walk me home?

I'd rather not go alone.

You're telling me you walked ten blocks
out of your way in the dark because you

were scared?

Okay.

I miss you.

And I thought you might even miss me.

Janice, you're gonna get real tired of
playing Florence Nightingale.

Why don't you just forget about me? You
got dozens of other guys to choose from.

I made my choice.

I love you.

Maybe you don't know the difference
between love and pity.

And maybe you don't know the difference
between love and self -pity.

Now, how about walking me home?

C -1, this is X -Ray 6. Anson has left
his apartment.

We're on his tail.

This is C -1. Roger that. Keep me
advised. They'll join you.

Fourth floor.

There might be more than one person in
the elevator.

Carmela, take the fourth floor.

We'll see where else it stops.

Check for any sign of a break -in. All
right.

Josh? Let's go.

You all right?

Yes, yes, go on.

Janice? I'm all right.

Josh, sit!

What happened? We're just walking along,
and this match is crushed into us.

He attacked another blind woman. He got
away out the window.

Did you get a look at him?

I don't know.

Not really.

It's my fault.

It's my fault. I had him in my hands.

He got away from us, too, Josh.

I had him.

But I couldn't hold on to him.

The alarm you gave us wouldn't work.

I had a second one under my pillow, but
I couldn't reach it until he left.

He had me pinned down.

He... Can you remember anything about
him?

How he smelled, what he said?

He was just there.

On top of me.

And then... He cut my face.

Your family's on the way here. They'll
help you get through this.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna go catch this guy,
okay?

The top's been ripped off. That's why it
didn't work.

The rapist must have been there when we
handed these out.

That's the only way he'd know they were
alarms.

Anson was there.

Keep looking for him till you find him.

How are you two doing?

Brain ripped.

Nothing. Cut you too?

Sister scratch.

Victim's too shaken up to tell us much.
How about you two?

I barely got a glimpse of him. It was
dark and it happened so fast.

Josh? You're the footstep expert. You
recognize him?

No. I was too scared to notice.

Most people would have been petrified.
At least you tried to stop him.

Boss, excuse me.

They got Anson. Getting back into his
car like nothing had happened.

If you've got enough evidence, arrest
me.

If not, let me go. What were you doing
in that apartment building?

I told you it's none of your business.

The hell it isn't. A woman was raped in
that building tonight.

Has she identified me as the attacker?

She hasn't identified anyone. She's
blind.

Then what am I doing here?

Testing my patience.

I've spent my life helping blind people.

If you want to help, answer my
questions.

Then we can stop wasting our time.

If you're innocent, if you have
evidence, arrest me.

If not, release me.

What'd you find out?

Well, Anson's from Greenville, upstate.

He went to state college.

Nothing to make you sit up and take
notice.

Keep trying, son.

Contact the Greenville police. See if
they have anything. And goose the FBI.

I want to see their computer checks
sooner rather than later.

And keep their tail on?

Definitely. Meanwhile, I'll try to smoke
them out a little.

I'll take Janice Flannery on a surprise
tour of the Hunter Institute tomorrow.

See if she notices anything familiar
about our favorite professor.

I'll have him go back to sleep.

Come on.

What's the matter?

I was just thinking of that kid at the
institute.

What he must be going through.

How it would be for the rest of my life.
I could never look at your face again.

Or Sarah's or David's.

If I couldn't be a cop anymore.

I don't blame him for being bitter.

Tony? Did you make the call?

Yeah, they were on their way. They were
right around the corner.

He was after the painting?

You don't look much like an art
connoisseur.

Who paid you to lift it?

Nobody.

I thought it would look good over my
fireplace, like to my Picasso.

We got here as fast as we could, boss.

Boss.

The creep set me up to rob the
commissioner of police.

The creep got a name?

What do you want to take the rap for
this all by yourself?

Simon Granger runs a gallery down in the
village.

Paid me a lousy grand.

Book him. Let the NYPD know about Mr.
Granger.

Yes, sir.

Honey, you're a genius.

What?

That Lancaster guy came over here with
his high -tone accent and his crummy 900

bucks.

He thought we were a couple of hicks.

But you didn't let him fool you.

What are you talking about?

I may not know art, but I know the going
rate for hot merchandise.

If a fence was willing to pay a grand,
that painting's worth five or six.

Six thousand dollars?

Tony, maybe you were right. I mean,
maybe we should sell it.

Only if you want to, honey. It's still
your painting.

Honey, let's call Mr.

Lancaster. No.

If the painting's really that valuable,
yesterday was just his opening gambit.

Let him call us.

We'll give him a little lesson in
negotiating.

I'm not being very helpful.

Take your time.

See if anything jogs your memory. And I
mean anything.

I'll try.

Come on.

Hello. Hello, Commissioner.

This is Alice Gray, head of the Computer
Science Department.

Ms. Gray, Commissioner Scali.

Pleased to meet you, Commissioner.

I'd like you both to meet Janice
Flannery.

I take it you're not here as a student,
Janice? No.

Alas.

Janice is a friend of Josh Sanders.

The rapist knocked him over last night
getting away.

Janice got a look at him.

That is good news.

We have reason to believe the man's
connected to the school.

We were hoping that Janice might
recognize his face or something about

Well, I hope you get him soon.

Nice meeting you, Janice.

Anson, ring a bell?

I, um, I'm not sure.

It's possible.

Anyone else think possible?

No.

All right, all right. You're doing good.
Here we go.

Hey.

Anson's record from the Greenville
police.

Statutory rape? Of a 17 -year -old blind
girl.

Her parents didn't press charges because
she was in love. She wanted to marry

him. Listen to this.

A year later, the girl left him.

He was busted for drunk and disorderly
conduct.

Maybe he holds a grudge.

Might explain the humiliation angle.

And he scars the victims for revenge?

It's a neat theory, but it's not
evidence.

He may lay off for a while, now that he
knows the heat's on.

This guy can't help himself.

The attacks are compulsive.

Plus, he thinks he's safe because his
victims are blind.

Somehow we've got to prove him wrong.

It was really nice.

Josh was walking home. We were talking.
It was just like before.

Now he's back in a shell.

Just be glad that maniac didn't decide
to kill both of you. Yeah.

Take care.

Bye.

He was trying to kill me.

If Margie hadn't come along when she
did... I know.

The man that attacked you, was it Ray
Anson?

I didn't get a look at him.

Hello, Josh.

Josh. Are you all right?

I'll leave you to it. I'm sorry, Janice.
What did you expect would happen?

Parading her around school and using her
like a guinea pig.

Josh, I wanted to.

People take risks when they try to help.

But you wouldn't know anything about
that, would you?

I told you to keep a tail on Anson. We
did. He was with his girlfriend nowhere

near the hospital.

Girlfriend? Yeah. We tell him to a cafe
across town where the girl was waiting

for him. She's a student at the
institute.

He stonewalled us the other night
because he was afraid he'd lose his job

administration found out.

His girlfriend lives in the same
building as the rape victim?

Yeah, a lot of the students live there
because it's close to the institute.

That's why he was in the building the
night of the rape. But the girlfriend

swears he was with her the whole time.

Someone stays with Janice 24 hours a
day.

This guy tried once. He may try again.

Whoever he is.

I've made a few more inquiries.

It is really quite a night, little
Dubois. So I'm prepared to offer $1

It so happens we've had another inquiry
about the painting.

A man representing a New York gallery
owner.

dropped in unexpectedly the other night.

He practically yanked that painting
right off the wall. He wanted it so

Who was this man, if I may ask? I want
to make sure for both our sakes that

legitimate. Oh, he's what he seemed to
be. I checked his record.

Uh, background.

Unfortunately, he isn't free to meet
with us this morning.

He did indicate that the painting was
worth at least $6 ,000.

You must understand.

Perhaps he feels he can sell it for 6
,000 some day. But believe me, he'll

pay such a price.

But I will go to 2 ,500.

Less than half?

3 ,000.

Your competition said six.

Four, then. That's my limit.

Your competition said six.

Five. New limit.

I've got to go to work, honey.

Thanks for dropping by, Mr. Lancaster.
Wait.

All right.

Six thousand.

It is, after all, a very nice Dubois.

Deal.

Let's increase patrols in the area where
the off -campus students live.

That'll take an overtime authorization.

Fine. I want this in place tonight.

Commissioner. I heard your voice.

Here's my arm.

I'll find your chair.

There's a door.

Five paces to the chair, as I remember.

If you came to ask about Janice, she's
at her apartment under 24 -hour

protection. I know.

I just came from there.

Listen, I got pretty mad last night, and
I blamed you for the attack.

But it wasn't your fault.

It was mine.

If I'd have tried to help you find this
guy, maybe he wouldn't still be out on

the streets tonight.

Maybe Janice wouldn't have to be
shadowed by a cop 24 hours a day.

I'm here to help, if you still want me
to.

You bet I do.

There's only one problem.

Nothing's coming back.

Whatever I heard or sensed that night,
it's just gone.

We'll just have to get it back.

Listen to this place.

Smell it. Feel it.

Let that night come back to you.

According to Janice, you were here when
you heard the alarm go off.

Now, which direction did that come from?

Back that way. That's right. The
victim's apartment's right up there.

I heard someone's feet hit the pavement.

I heard him running.

He slammed into Janet.

I grabbed at him.

He pulled away, and that's all.

That's not all.

Where did you grab him?

His head.

What did you feel? A beard, long hair?

No, he had short hair.

No beard.

Good. Now, what did you hear after he
got away?

Did he climb the fence?

No, he hit it once, and then he was
over.

What does that tell you?

He's strong, athletic, in good shape.

What happened next?

Nothing. I just heard him running away.

Josh, how did you know that the chair in
the squad room was five paces from the

door? I counted my steps from the last
time I was there. I do it automatically.

It helps me map a room.

Do you count other people's steps, too?

Sometimes. Great.

Now, this is where you were when the guy
pulled away.

How many steps to the fence?

Think.

About eight, running.

That fence is pretty far away. This
guy's got to be on the tall side.

What about weight?

I only had to hold him for a second. I
don't know.

Think back to your wrestling days. Was
this guy...

bulky, uh, wiry. Bulky.

So if he's tall, say over six feet, he
probably weighs around 200.

You're doing great, Josh.

I'm getting a picture of this guy for
the first time. Tell me what happened

he hit you. Don't leave out anything.

He pushed me.

I reached out.

I got his head.

And he threw me off.

I fell.

And that's when I got this cut on my
hand.

No, that can't be right because I felt
the pain in my hand before I fell.

I cut my hand when it brushed past his
hair or his ear.

But that seems impossible.

Unless he was wearing an earring big
enough or sharp enough.

Paul Roberts, the man who had school the
other day, he wears that star on his

left ear.

That must be what he used to cut his
victims.

He was the one who tried to steer me to
answer.

Come on, Sherlock, one question.

And I'll call the officer who was with
Janice. He won't be looking for a blind

guy.

Who are you?

I'm a friend of Josh's.

What's her name?

Where's the cop that was just here?

I guess he's taking a break.

Oh, my God.

Stay away from me.

I don't want him to hurt you.

It's not nice to throw things at a blind
man.

The man in the alley.

Then stay put.

I'm going to check on Jan.

The Institute doesn't screen its
applicants as carefully as they might,

can't blame them.

Not too many people pretend to be blind.

You don't have to do this.

Too bad you're in that alley.

See, I can let the blind girls live
because they never saw me.

But you did.

You got lucky in the hospital, but your
luck's just run out.

Janice?

Hello, Josh.

Over here.

Over here.

I'd say you won that match.

The guy's out of your weight class, too.

Maybe you ought to look into some of
those scholarships after all.

Maybe I will.

Tony, come here. You're going to see
this.

Tony, look.

Isn't that Lancaster without painting?

A New York City art collector bought
this painting by Henry Dubois, a lightly

regarded abstract painter, for $6 ,000.

But this lackluster piece was painted
over a genuine Kramer.

Estimated value, $1 million.

Ironically, this masterpiece was passed
from one ignorant hand to the other,

nobody suspecting that... People like us
don't have that kind

of money.

It wouldn't have felt right.

Well, we're done with it.

You don't need a million bucks. We got
each other.

Would have turned our lives upside down.

I'm glad it worked out this way.

You really mean that?

No.

Me neither.
