:12:02
What's going on?
:12:04
- Could I level with you?
- Yeah.
:12:07
No, I mean... I mean,
really level.
:12:09
I mean,
pull no punches.
:12:12
- What is it, Al?
- Well, it's nothing
that can't be dealt with.
:12:15
He's just, uh...
He's blind.
:12:20
You wanna be serious?
:12:22
We're already
behind schedule.
This has been crazy.
:12:24
The cameraman threw
his little fit and I'm
losing my sense of humor...
:12:27
- because things
are going crazy now.
- He's blind.
:12:29
He can't...
He can't see at all.
:12:31
But don't panic.
It's-It's-It's-It's-It's...
It's not a tumor.
:12:35
It's not a disease
of the optic nerve.
:12:37
It's not permanent.
It's-It's-It's...
:12:39
- What is it?
- It's a psychological disorder.
:12:43
- It's psychosomatic.
Sometimes that happens.
- Oh, God.
:12:45
- People get paralyzed or they
can't speak because of a trauma.
- This is not happening.
:12:49
He is on the set
right now faking it...
:12:51
but he's gonna need someone
to help him get through
the rest of the picture.
:12:55
- The rest of the picture?
- Yeah.
:12:57
How long has this
been going on?
:12:59
- Since day one.
- Oh!
:13:01
You know
the Chinese translator?
:13:03
He's been
the secret agent
up till now.
:13:05
But now he's gone,
and we're gonna need somebody
that he can trust...
:13:09
who'll stay close to him
and won't look suspicious.
:13:11
Wait a second.
You're telling me that he
has directed everything...
:13:13
- up to this point blind?
- Shh.
:13:17
No one has any idea.
:13:19
He didn't want his career
destroyed forever...
:13:21
by another disaster story
about his work problems.
:13:23
No one knows and that's
because of the translator
and because of me.
:13:27
Okay. And no one
must find out.
:13:30
I mean,
I'm serious, Al.
Nobody.
:13:32
Not anybody
on the crew...
:13:35
- not the drivers,
not the actors,
- No.
:13:37
Not anyone
from Galaxie pictures.
:13:39
Yes. I knew you'd
understand this problem.
:13:41
Oh, God. May the day
June 19 rot in hell
for all eternity.
:13:45
Well, is that
the day you married Val?
:13:47
No, it's the day
he was born.
:13:49
Don't get upset.
Don't get upset. Please.
:13:52
No wonder he's
been avoiding me
and acting so strange.
:13:56
He didn't want
anybody to know.
:13:58
That self-destructive...
