DAVID BOWIE: Beauty, it is often said,

is in the eye of the beholder.

What if the beholder can't see it?

Is this a blessing or a curse?

Beauty, after all, is rooted in truth.

And truth might be an ugly sight, indeed.

But truth makes no excuses,allows no compromises,

offers no comfort.

Perhaps then, we should protect ourselves

from the truth to be blind toit, if you see what I mean.

[door opens]

I know, I'm late.

I'm sorry.

So how's business?

We got a full house?

TV is on the brink again.

MANNO: What?

See you tomorrow.

COWORKER: Hey rock star.

Hey, what's the rush?

What, you got a hot date?

Know what you want?

How about scrambled?

Yeah, scrambled is great.

Great, thanks.

WAITRESS: Oh, I'm so sorry.

[moaning]

WOMAN: Come here.

WAITRESS: Sir, are you OK?

Sir, are you OK?

[gasps]

Oh no.

She couldn't have been a day over 25.

DOCTOR: Had you ever met this woman before?

No, no, she's quite normal.

In fact, very pleasant.

DOCTOR: So tell me howcould this, uh, very young,

very pleasant woman have such an evil past?

I don't know.

She could have got help, rehab, something.

DOCTOR: Now, your lastvision was three weeks ago.

Yeah, not since the man upstairs moved in.

The rapist?

They caught him last week.

I see.

MANNO: If you don't believeme, look in yesterday's paper.

His name is Duffy, Alfred Duffy.

He goes on trial next month.

DOCTOR: How did you learn about the arrest?

My landlady.

Do you mind if I call her?

Manno, why don't you turn around?

It's very hard talking to you this way.

I don't want to do that.

You still don't want tolook into my eyes, Manno.

No.

Why?

I promise that there's nothing you

will see that will terrify you.

Just the average imperfectionsof an ordinary man.

I can't.

DOCTOR: But your eyes-- I meansurely, you know your own past.

Manno, you want me to believe you,

yet you refuse to do the onething that will convince me

you're telling the truth.

What do you think that suggests?

I don't care what it suggests.

I need you to trust me.

It happens.

I see what I see.

MAN [ON INTERCOM]: Blue team to ICU, please.

Blue team, ICU.

Bang, bang.

Two to the thorax, bank,one of the nape of the neck

on the way out the door.

That's the kind of dipshit thatmakes those TV shows, you know,

like world's stupidest criminals.

This particular assholewalks into mom and pop store

with a Rambo knife.

Wake up, snapper head, it's the 90s.

Everyone's packing these days.

Nice talking to you, Manno.

Engaging conversation.

DOCTOR: So let's go back to the first time

you had one of these visions.

It was at your ex-wife's engagement party,

is that right?

He was wrong for her.

[interposing voices]

Congratulations.

Thank you, Manno.

Manno, is everything all right?

Yeah.

MANNO: He was wrong for her.

I don't-- I don't know how to say this.

I'm exactly the wrongperson to be saying this.

Don't ruin this for me.

He was fucking other women in your bed.

I saw in his eyes.

Why are you making up this story?

Judy, as bad as we were for each other,

we didn't lie, we didn't cheat.

I trust Henry.

I saw in his eyes.

God, what you do to me.

Well, it was an emotional time for you.

I mean, she was about to remarry,

and, uh, maybe you made up thisstory of infidelity in the hope

that she'd come back to you.

They got divorced less than two

years later she caught him having an affair

how do you explain that

Well, you know, half themarriages in this country

end up in divorce.

And infidelity is a common cause.

I am capable of looking into people's eyes

and seeing the very worstpart of their souls.

But not everyone.

No No, not everyone.

Only people with secrets.

But you would not believehow many of them there are.

Once when I was a lawyer, I looked

right into this juror's eyes.

And

I'm not a lawyer anymore.

What is it going to take for you to believe me?

Look into my eyes and tell me my past.

No, I will not look intoanyone's eyes ever again.

Except the dead.

Their eyes, I trust.

DOCTOR: And you say that it was your wife

Judith who did this to you.

MANNO: On the last day I spent in my house.

JUDITH: Manno, look at me.

What's your point?

You don't see me, do you?

You don't see anyone.

MANNO: I see the court,the judge, I see the jury.

No, you don't.

What you see is people thatyou need to manipulate.

Well, even those people have feelings.

You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?

I hope the rest of your life is a living hell.

DOCTOR: So you went out ofyour way to understand people,

willing it upon yourself to see more.

Don't you get it, Manno?

It's the curse, just like in the Bible.

Once you were blind, now you can see.

I-- I don't want to see anymore.

Well, now we're getting somewhere.

Isn't that what it's all about?

Help me.

I can only do that if you acknowledge

what your visions are.

Just get this out of my head.

I can't do that.

No one can.

You have to help yourself.

You have to learn to live with what you see.

No one should live with what I see.

You know, I have a theory, Manno.

You know, I think that you've acquired

some sort ofhypersensitive perception

that enables you to pick up on exterior clues,

like a detective who learns toread a suspect's body language.

You know, you'll notedetails and slight changes.

It's not a curse, Manno.

It's-- it's a gift.

Gift.

I think it's killing me.

Hey, watch it man.

[screaming]

The fuck's wrong with you?

He told you where he hidthe money, you little bastard.

You fucking freak!

MANNO: I saw this man being tortured.

God, you don't know what they did do him.

I don't know how he could have survived.

DOCTOR: You said he was just a kid.

How could he havecommitted so many crimes?

Look at me.

Does this look like the workof some innocent schoolboy?

I don't know.

I don't know what to think.

Maybe you frightened him.

Maybe your mind is creatinga situation where you'll

have to stay away from people.

Maybe you're just using thissensing ability as an excuse

to feel alone and miserable,and refuse responsibility

for your own life.

Manno, Manno, Manno, lookinto my eyes and you will see.

Your reluctance tells me that down deep

inside, you know the truth.

Real or not, you're still avoiding me.

You have got to take this step.

Manno, look at me.

Look at me and tell me the truth.

Mrs. Saunders, how can I help you?

Well, I don't know if it'sboredom or what, but I, um--

find myself sometimesslipping off my wedding ring

when I meet an attractive man.

I'm horrible, aren't I?

[moaning]

DOCTOR: Darling, I think it'sright for you to be going.

I don't think he wants me to leave.

Well, I do have an appointment.

But I haven't told you the good news.

Good news?

I left my husband.

You what?

So we can be together.

Let's get something very clear.

I have a wife and children.

I have no intention of leaving them.

Manno, what do you see?

So this is what you do?

You fuck your patients andthen you fuck them over.

It's time somebody tells your wife.

You leave her out of this.

I am warning you, I don'twant to be threatened.

It is not over between us.

You don't get tired of me, I get tired of you.

We are through.

If you think I'm going to let you treat me

like some whore you can bang a couple of times

and then get rid of, I'll go to your wife

before I let you do that.

You do that and I'll kill you.

Manno.

[screaming]

DOCTOR: Snap out of it.

[screaming]

DOCTOR: Snap out of it.

Manno, Manno, what did you see?

Manno, Manno, Manno, snap out of it.

Snap out of it.

Manno, Manno, what did you see?

MANNO: Get away from me.

You, you used her.

DOCTOR: Who?

She's dead because of you.

What are you talking about?

What did you see? Who's dead?

Manno! Call security!

[screaming]

DOCTOR: Manno!

[yelling]

Hey.

You ought to suffer!

Suffer for your sins!

[screaming and glass breaking]

You-- you-- you are doomed!

DOCTOR: Manno, come back to my office.

[gasping]

DOCTOR: What is it What did you see?

What did you see? MANNO: Death

Whose?

Whose death?

Get away from me!

Get away!

DOCTOR: Manno, no! Don't do that!

No!

Manno, please!

[grunting]

Someone call an ambulance, quick!

Manno, I'm here, I'm here.

It'll be OK.

She was my patient.

I didn't kill her.

She-- she jumped.

You forget, doctor, youtape all of your sessions.

I have a wife and children.

If you think I'm going to letyou treat me like some whore

you can bang a couple oftimes and then get rid of.

[screaming]

[handcuffs click]

I'm-- I'm seeing-- I'm seeing the future.

I wish I could have done more for him,

but, uh,-- after his wifeleft him he just snapped.

Paranoid psychosis just kepton escalating out of control.

So, uh, hr was a real nutcase?

Oh, you know, Mannoactually stabbed his eyes out.

I would hardly call that normal behavior.

What was up with all thissupernatural mumbo jumbo?

You know, seeing things, and stuff?

It was all imagined.

All in his mind.

Hm.

Well, thank you very much, doctor.

My pleasure.

If there's anything else,don't hesitate to call.

Oh, we'll be in touch.

[phone rings]

CORA [ON INTERCOM]: Doctor [inaudible].

Yes, Cora?

CORA [ON INTERCOM]: Mrs.Saunders, your new patient,

is here. - Send her in.

Mrs. Saunders.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Please, have a seat.

So, how can I help you?

MRS. SAUNDERS: Um, I don't knowif it's, um, boredom or what.

I just, um, find myself sometimes.

DAVID BOWIE: Perception is everything.

Opportunities are all around us.

Riches and rewards beyondour wildest dreams.

But we are blind and cannotsee, so they do not exist.

The only reality we can possibly inhabit

is the reality that we create, ourselves.

If we wish to change the world around us,

we must change the way that we look at it.
