To look into darkness...

...is clarity.

You must use the source of your own inner light...

...to illuminate what cannot be seen.

Everything's cleaned up.

I lit all the candles. Gotta get the rest of my stuff.

Hey...

...thanks for taking me in.

I had nowhere else to go.

I know.

Yeah.

Come closer.

Do not be frightened. These are only students.

You couldn't have seen me any more than I could've seen you.

Your presence is very strong.

You are troubled.

Yes.

Is it about my son? Our son?

No. No, but it's something very important.

- And I didn't know who else to turn to. - Not your husband?

Oh, no, especially not him. No, I don't mean it the way it sounds.

I love him more than life itself.

There's someone I've got to see.

And Paul can't know that I'm going to see him.

He'd just hit the roof.

You are afraid of this person.

Well, I never have been.

You are now.

Your hands are trembling.

He sent me a message, in Braille, threatening.

I don't really wanna go into what he said. It's personal, but--

I require no explanations from you.

When is this meeting?

I'd like to go this afternoon.

And I know I'll feel fine if you're close by.

We will go now.

Mom?

- Where are you? - Hi, Peter.

Kel, how are you?

- Good. - Where's Mom?

- I was supposed to take her shopping. - Don't know.

I hope there's no butter or salt in this.

She's not upstairs either. This isn't like Annie.

- She went out. - She doesn't just go out.

Not without a purpose.

She never goes out by herself either.

No, something's wrong.

The grandson of Kwai Chang Caine walks out of the past.

But I want to fight.

Yes. So did your great-grandfather when he was your age.

He teaches his son wisdom at a Shaolin temple.

An evil force destroyed that temple.

Father and son each believed the other had perished.

Fifteen years later, they were reunited.

Now Caine faced new challenges...

...and his son grew up.

Look, I'm not my father. I don't do kung fu.

I'm a cop. That's who I am, that's what I do.

I am Caine.

I will help you.

Now, let the blind chick take it from here.

I know where the elevators are.

You do not wish me to accompany you further?

No. But please be here when I get back.

I will be here.

Annie. Oh, come in.

What a wonderful surprise.

The only person who's surprised I'm here is me.

You've gone to a lot of trouble to get me here, Mike.

So tell me what neurosis is gnawing away...

...at that highly esteemed intellectual brain...

...so I can go home to a warm fire and a brandy.

I can provide the brandy and, with a little coaxing...

...perhaps the fire.

But not the reason for your visit.

You haven't been following me, phoning me, harassing me?

- What are you talking about, darling? - Oh, don't call me that.

My husband calls me that.

I like it when he does, but it doesn't sound right coming from you.

It did once.

That was a long time ago.

Can't you let it go?

I can't just turn off my feelings towards you, Annie.

Oh, certainly that esteemed intellect understood that it was over...

...once you married your policeman.

- How is the captain these days? - He's just fine.

And your adopted son, what was his name? Peter.

- He found his real father, I believe. - Yes.

So how is it at the college?

Oh, red tape, bureaucratic idiots, passionate students.

Nothing much ever changes.

- What is it? - It's just a migraine.

I get a lot of them lately.

So are you telling me that you didn't send me this message?

I received it yesterday.

"Come to this apartment or your life is forfeit."

You haven't lost your touch.

- How do you know I was reading this? - I hear fingertips. You know that.

Well, somebody's playing some cruel game...

...but I never sent that.

I'm very grateful to whoever did. So good to see you again.

You look wonderful.

You too.

What kind of harassment are we talking about?

Whispers in the street, telephone calls, threats.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. It was wrong of me.

It's not in your nature to be vindictive.

Sorry to have taken up so much of your time.

Any time you're with me, time is very special.

- May I walk you to the elevator? - No, I'm fine. Thank you.

It was good to see you again.

Caine!

Annie.

Annie.

I'm setting up an EKG.

Let me know.

- Dr. Allen, please call Dr. Alfont. - What? Okay, okay.

- What happened? - I do not know.

Well, she was at the hotel. Why?

I do not know.

Okay. Okay, easier question. You were at the hotel.

- You took her there. Why? - She asked me.

- Why? - Because she had no one else to ask.

Chinese boxes.

You take every question I ask, put it in a smaller box.

When we get to one you can put a thimble in, do I get an answer?

Only she can answer that question.

Annie.

Hey, babe, it's Paul.

Dress up a blind chick, give her a cane...

...send her out in the world, and look what happens.

Yeah.

Well, you see, those muggers don't check behind the sunglasses...

...to see the eyes before they hit. It's just a coincidence. You'll be all right.

- No, he knew. - Well, you were using the cane.

I hadn't sprung it out yet.

I knew the layout of the back lobby.

I was reaching out to touch the large plant...

... when there was some--

And they whispered something.

They whispered what?

I don't know. It could've been...

..."Annie."

It could've been...

..."money."

What were you doing at that hotel?

Mike West lives there, doesn't he? In an apartment on the 18th floor?

Yes.

Yes, he lives there.

Why did you go to see Mike West?

You didn't want me to know, or you would have let me drive you over.

This has nothing to do with you, Paul.

Every breath you take in your entire life has something to do with me.

Was it Mike who did this to you? Did Mike West do this to you?

No. No, I left him in the apartment...

...and I went downstairs.

And then there was somebody waiting for me.

Somebody was following me.

There were phone calls, "Coming to get you."

Who?

Who said these things to you? Where?

Fragments...

...whispers...

...words.

I don't know where they've been coming from.

Caine!

- Caine! - It's all right.

Mr. Blaisdell. Okay, okay, okay. It's okay.

- Hi. Hi. I came as soon as I could. - Okay, baby.

Is she all right?

Master Caine.

What happened?

A mugging, maybe something more. What we talked about on the way over.

- Yeah. I'll check it out. - Is she conscious? Can I talk to her?

You go ahead.

She relived it, the attack.

It was your name she called out, "Caine."

The next time my wife asks you for protection...

...you tell her to call a cop, all right?

Please report to Recovery.

Dr. Ellis, please report to Recovery.

Pop, he's just feeling guilty.

I mean, she's lying there battered, and he feels helpless.

No.

He is right. I should not have let it happen.

You couldn't have known this was gonna happen.

What was it you had to say on the way over?

Yeah, some muggings have taken place across the precinct.

Attractive women in their 40s who look prosperous.

There's been about 15 in the last seven weeks, just random attacks.

You said there was something you could check out.

Well, there's a bar over on Price. It's called the Gold Star.

One of the places I hung out when I went undercover against Tan.

We got a new undercover man there. I just thought that maybe they...

I don't know, maybe they have something.

I will accompany you there.

What?

Police business.

She was under my protection.

All right, all right. I wanna see her first.

Meet me at my car.

- Guess I'm still not ready. - That is your undercover man?

Right.

Don't let it embarrass you.

It's the only way we can make close contact.

I will endeavor to maintain composure.

You got a lot of nerve, Caine. Don't they know you in this place?

Well, Tan's men are all gone. I just....

I thought I'd come for a drink and a good time.

Drinks are all watered down.

I'll see what I can do about the good time. Who's your friend?

Oh, this is my father.

He doesn't let me come to these places alone.

It's good to meet you. I've heard about you.

Does this work not embarrass you?

Sure...

...but I've had worse assignments.

So Blaisdell tells me you got the right qualifications for the job.

You're starting to sweat, Caine.

Just take it easy on me.

Gotta make it look good for the boss.

What's shaking?

A series of random muggings.

Attacks on lone women.

Actually, not random muggings. They're vicious assaults.

They've taken place in this area.

If anybody was bragging about them, it'd be here.

Lots of bragging going down here

Mostly about carjackings, holdups and beatings.

Who knows what's real and what's in their mind?

You're supposed to be enjoying this, Peter.

I haven't been working out for nothing, have I?

Yeah, you look great. You look great. You just....

Well, you always look great.

I just never seen this much of you.

So, no one man or group of guys? Anyone...?

Hey, are you listening to anybody?

Sure.

The guys at the pool table.

Also the ones at that table by the stage, I just found out.

And the guy at the bar that's trying to talk the cocktail waitress...

...into taking a waltz around the floor. Yeah, he's bad news.

Any one of them.

Who's your latest victim?

Blaisdell's wife.

Cop's wife, must have given a description.

She is blind.

That's too bad.

That's what we need, a description.

Then I can find your man.

Tell the captain to find me a nicer assignment.

Your father's right. This place is starting to rotten my insides.

Five.

Last of the big spenders.

You remember the night we first met?

At that Greek restaurant?

I was late, and you were already seated with Steadman.

Boy, you loved his English accent.

It's very charming, very deadly. Worked for MI-6.

Probably still does.

Anyway, you were wearing those big amber glasses.

And we ate half the meal. We talked. We laughed.

And never once did you have to reach to find a glass, or a fork or a knife...

...until you said, "Has the waiter brought wine?"

Steadman said, "It's at 3 o'clock," and you picked it up.

And I thought, "My God.

I'm getting old and jaded. She's blind. My blind date is blind."

And you apologized for putting me on...

...but you were very pleased, you were very pleased...

...I hadn't realized.

And I was very pleased...

...that I'd finally found someone who could see me.

Who could see inside of me.

You're gonna be all right.

We're gonna get the guy who did this to you.

Just rest. Sleep, okay?

I love you very much, babe.

How long have you been standing there?

Just a few seconds.

Just long enough to remember why I love you so much.

Let's let her get some rest, okay?

She's stable, but no better.

Kelly's waiting. I don't wanna leave her alone.

- All right. Go ahead. - Okay.

We need a description of the man who attacked your wife.

- Yeah, well, that's impossible. - Why? She saw him.

She's blind, remember?

Nurse Rayna, report to Admitting Desk. Nurse Rayna....

Caroline. Tell me she's gonna be all right.

Have faith.

- Caine. - Yes.

You must describe to me...

...your attacker.

Right.

Where should I start?

Color of his hair? His eyes? His build, his weight, black or white?

You know all this.

You did see him.

Start with his voice.

Where did it emanate from? Where I'm standing?

Higher, I think. Yes. I don't know.

- But not lower? - No.

The skull...

...is where the voice emanates from.

Was it full...

...shrill, dark, light?

Deep.

Wide skull.

When he walked up to you...

...was his step light or heavy?

Light.

A young man walks with a lighter step than an old man.

Is he strong?

Very.

Man about thirty.

Perhaps 6-foot-1 or taller...

...with a large chest, perhaps a heavy frame.

You must trust your senses.

Remember.

My senses tell me, but what use is it? They're all inside my head.

You will draw this man for me.

Use my hand.

Trust your vision, your senses.

- No, I can't do that. - Yes, you can.

You have already begun.

You touched his face?

Yes.

Then you know its shape.

You must learn to see with more than your eyes.

I hate it when he says that.

Understand the patterns.

Feel the textures.

Know the colors.

You do not need to see...

...to know...

...what is there.

I knew you were there.

That is good.

See with your body...

...and you will always know where your enemy is.

You didn't make a sound.

I never do.

If I ever lost my sight...

...would my other senses intensify...

...so I would be able to see with my mind?

That is how you always see.

"Deceased."

Any news from the hospital?

Stable...

...drifting in and out of consciousness.

How's the old man taking it?

His blind wife beaten within an inch of her life? How would you take it?

He feels responsible.

Only person who should feel responsible is your father.

How could he know what was gonna happen?

- What was he supposed to do? - Stay with her.

Never let her out of his sight.

Isn't he supposed to feel when there's danger?

- I'm sure he did! - Yeah, too late!

If one of us had gone with her....

Why am I yelling at you?

It's because I feel responsible too.

She's one of the greatest human beings I've ever known.

She's the only mother I've ever known.

The voice had richness...

...so the nasal passage was wide...

...not compressed.

A large nose.

The mouth?

I don't know. I never touched it.

The one word.

It was excited...

...tense.

Said through clenched teeth?

Slurred.

Slurred.

A large mouth.

His eyes...

...they're almond-shaped.

I only touched them for a moment.

Feel them again with your fingertips.

Yes, I can feel them.

Were there tears?

Yes.

Emotion.

He did not want to beat you.

No, I can't do this.

- Do you remember a high forehead? - Yes. I touched his forehead.

I can't do this anymore. I can't see him.

Yes...

...you can.

He is here.

Powerful, calloused hands.

Remember his aroma. What was it?

Tobacco.

He reeks of it.

I can see him.

No, he's hurting me. Please, stop this.

- Stop it, please. - No.

The face is almost complete.

You can see him.

Right in front of you now.

Now, feel his aura.

Through my hands, see him.

Can you see him?

He is here.

On a page.

A very accurate description.

Kel, you should go home, baby. You've got a ton of homework, all right?

Why don't you come to us? Todd's a wiz at math.

Okay. I'd like that.

- We should go. - Yeah, we should.

- Call us at my house, Dad. - Yeah. Okay, baby.

Bye, Daddy.

- Bye. - Bye.

What the hell are you doing here?

I just wanted to tell you how devastated I am at what's happened to Annie.

How did you know about it?

On the 6 o'clock news.

They didn't name the police captain's wife who was attacked...

...but they did name the hotel.

She was there to see you, right?

But I don't know why.

She said something about a message that I'd sent, but I didn't.

To be truthful, I haven't thought of her much in many months.

I didn't mean that the way it sounded.

I just didn't want you to think that I'd summoned her there, all right?

I know the way you feel about me, but...

You don't know one damn thing about the way I feel about anything.

We were close once, Annie and I. I know you don't wanna hear that.

You were her teacher, her mentor.

You betrayed that trust.

If that's what you choose to believe, I won't try to dissuade you.

But if you're open to listening to the truth...

...I found her the most beautiful, gentle creature that I ever met.

And I loved her.

I couldn't give her what she needed. You could, and you did.

You love her, so now no one else can?

She chose you. Isn't that enough?

I....

I just want you to know that if there's anything I can do....

Mike, Mike.

I'm sorry.

It was good of you to come.

Dr. Ellis, please report to Recovery Unit 4. Dr. Ellis--

Mr. Blaisdell?

- Yes? - Your wife can go home.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Annie's on her way home with the captain. What have you got?

The same as when I started.

This is the man...

...who attacked Annie.

- Who drew this? - She did.

I don't believe it. How could she?

- It was who she saw. - I met him. At the Gold Star last night.

Let's just go see if he's a regular customer.

- Strenlich, I'm gonna need some backup. - You got it.

Could I be considered backup?

Hey, I wouldn't go without you. Let's roll.

Peter, this is police business.

- Hi, there. - Hi.

I shoot one game at a time.

You want some action, you wait your turn.

I got a short attention span. It's always been a problem.

But I'm great with faces.

Now, I look at your face...

...and a thousand things rush through my head.

Green in the corner.

Nice shot.

Bank robbery, two years ago. You shot a teller for the hell of it.

No arrest, no conviction.

Which ball next?

Six in the corner.

What about that liquor store holdup on the Stem? You made the lineup.

But I failed the ID. Witness couldn't place me.

That's because you told her...

...that if she did, she'd be walking around without a face.

So when did you start beating people up?

It's kind of a step down from bank robbery, don't you think?

Depends on the victim and circumstances.

Well, let's talk about victims and circumstances.

Do that on your own time.

Hey, I'm on a roll here.

You know, working the streets, you see all kinds of under-rock life.

But beating up a blind woman...

...I'd say that's just a tad lower than a snake's belly, don't you think?

Blind, huh?

I guess that makes your job pretty tough.

You get a description?

Matter of fact, we did.

That's you.

Good likeness.

I was getting tired of this assignment anyway.

- Stay down! - Are you okay?

Good work.

Sorry to be doing this with so little clothing on.

Good to see you, chief.

Likewise.

You're under arrest for the attempted murder of Annie Blaisdell.

You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney.

Of course, if you can't afford one...

...the court--

Attempted murder? I mugged her.

She almost died. That's attempted murder in my book.

Manslaughter one if you're lucky. Fifteen to life.

Just because the bimbo's blind?

No, because she's my mother. How does that grab you, Randall?

I got paid. He wanted it done, the guy at the hotel.

It was a contract job.

Right. Let's go.

- Come on, let me take your coat. - Thanks.

Boy, it's so cold.

So we go in the front or the back?

We don't go in at all.

Why the hell not?

Because she'd make the house dark. We're not going to search a dark house.

That'd make us vulnerable, put us into her world.

She's got to come out to us.

And how're you gonna get her to do that?

Oh, she'll do it. She's gonna come running right into my arms.

Paul?

Hello?

Paul won't be coming back with the wood, Annie.

- What? - He won't be coming back at all.

You're all alone. Poor Little Orphan Annie.

Where's Paul?

What have you done to him?

Mike, why are you doing this?

I think about you a great deal, Annie.

How must it feel to be facing the darkness?

What could your worst fears be?

Fire, perhaps. Yes, I would think...

...that would just be a nightmare to a blind girl.

It's gonna burn real good, Annie. Real good.

It is Caine.

It is a trick.

There is no fire.

I can hear it. There's smoke everywhere.

You can smell the smoke.

You can hear the fire. But can you see the fire, Annie?

No.

- No, I can't see it. - They are trying to lure you outside.

What were you wearing when you came into the house?

A big overcoat. It's on the chair by the couch.

Who are you?

Where is she?

Please.

He is sick. He does not know.

Anne?

Paul. Paul!

- Paul! - Stand still. It's all right. It's all right.

Stand still. It's all right.

Annie.

What a wonderful surprise.

What are you doing here?

Captain's with the police commissioner on the riots. Asked me to come by.

We just got the medical report on Mike West.

What medical report?

West has a tumor pinching a nerve in his brain...

...causing paranoia, hostility, irrational rage.

All the pain of losing Annie consumed him.

Did West know of his condition?

Nobody knew. He didn't even remember the attacks.

Mrs. Blaisdell would like to say something to you, in private.

Take a walk with me, detective.

Right, chief.

May I touch your face?

Of course.

You've done something for me that no one else could have done.

You've taught me that I can see beyond what my eyes could ever tell me.

That blindness is only rejection of light, not truth.

The true light of the soul is always clear and bright.

I know that now.

Thank you.
