I’m not a fan of Stephen King, but I’ve seen a lot of movies based on books. In terms of suspense, he is undoubtedly a master of the drama, so he pays attention to this American drama. The first six episodes have laid a long background, the Henry family, and the imprisoned ones. The life experience of the fourth sister, who is the guardian, and how many stories are there in this mysterious town. Since it is a suspense drama, it doesn't make much sense to be straightforward. Although the rhythm is slow, the end of the sixth episode is the climax so far. The fourth sister is injured and Henry's mother is missing. So I am looking forward to the development of the seventh episode. It seems that many people don't like this episode, but the author feels that this episode is really not disappointing, and it has given a lot of clues.
At the beginning of the story, Henry's mother Ruth was loading a pistol in a dark warehouse, as if preparing to shoot someone who followed her. But when the picture flashed, it was another memory of her.
It was the day she received Louise Chess from the old policeman, but we didn’t see this dog in the grave in the previous episodes. She opened the door and let the dog out. The next picture is the old man. The policeman planned to use a knife to cut the artery of a half-dead dog that was hit by a car. Ruth asked the old policeman to put the dog's body in the suitcase, which was a foreshadowing.
In this passage, she mentioned a dog named Puck, a dog Henry had raised when he was a child, and he suspected that this dog was poisoned to death by his husband.
Then in the middle of the night, I felt blood on my hand and woke up in my sleep. I woke up and saw Puck. At this time, the timeline has changed. The author vaguely remembers that the body of a stray dog was dug up by the old police before, because Ruth said I saw this dog, so the timeline at this time should match the time in the real timeline.
After she went downstairs, she came to the old policeman to argue with Henry about why her father's tomb was moved to an unknown place. It is from this place that we can understand why, Ruthy often forgets what she wants to say, and there is a noticeable pause, because she may have the memory of the last second in another place, and then she will suddenly wake up from a daze. A foreshadowing also appeared in this memory, which was the pistol on the upper level of the glove box.
Then the feature film began. She began to organize the chess pieces and put some in her pocket. When she came to the first room, she saw her past self telling a story to Henry. This story is also very moral. It is the "Candy House" by Grimm's fairy tale. It tells the story of Hansel and Gretel being thrown into the forest by the stepmother. They came to the witch's candy house when they lost their way. They were caught and almost eaten by their wit and courage. The story of the two finally leaving the clutches of the clutches. What's interesting is that the wise Bangier took advantage of the safety of going home for the first time because he picked up a lot of small stones and put them in his pockets, marking them all the way to find his home. And Ruthy was also using the chess pieces as markers at this time, shuttled back and forth in his memory to find clues and answers.
Ruthy placed chess pieces in all the rooms, and then she returned to the day her grandson came. Sun Tzu read the words from the church brochure. This paragraph is difficult to understand. It is also related to the paragraph that she flashed back to her husband's speech at the church. This may be the foreshadowing of the plot later. This paragraph is like this: " Listen, I want to tell you a mystery. Not all people will fall asleep, but everyone will be changed. In the blink of an eye, when the last horn is sounded, the horn will sound, and the dead will be Resurrection and becoming an immortal existence, we will all be changed. This is inevitably corrupt and must become immortal. This mortal must become immortal, but when this inevitably corruptible becomes immortal, it must die. "Death becomes immortal. At that time, it will confirm the words in the Bible "Death is swallowed by victory""
In the church, Ruthy looked at the old policeman when he was young, and guessed that they should have been affectionate long ago.
Then Ruth returned to reality with this chess piece in the refrigerator. In real life, she saw the fourth sister outside the window for the first time. The fourth sister was wearing the suit when her husband was buried. A fallen leaf brought Ruth back to a time when the family was camping.
Her husband recounted a wonderful experience of his own. When he drove to the forest and was about to shoot himself, he heard the voice of God. It also tells the story of Sol, but for the time being, this episode should not be of any use.
Then with the help of this chess piece in the pile of fallen leaves, Ruth returned to reality and started a conversation with her grandson. Grandson said she was a timewalker, but I think Ruth’s ability is difficult to define as a time traveler. All her shuttles are establishment In my own memory. But a word from grandson made her realize that it is possible for her to modify the entire timeline by killing her mortal enemy. When Ruth threw away all her psychotropic drugs, the fourth sister came in, used her husband's habitual movements, and told her to go to bed and rest. The author’s personal opinion is that at this moment Ruth thinks that the fourth sister is her husband Matthew. She thinks that killing her husband is the fourth sister, and all the timelines can be corrected, so she went to the storage room and got the gun at the highest point. But no bullets were found in the gun. As soon as the screen turned, Ruth returned to the previous game with Henry.
This sentence is very important, and it is also a foreshadowing. The main reason for this memory to find the position of the bullet was that it was locked by her husband.
After returning to reality, Molly came to ask Ruth if she knew Henry’s whereabouts, but she told Molly that she knew she went into the room and unplugged her husband’s oxygen tube, because Ruth could only shuttle in her own memory, which meant that Molly did indeed. The real murderer of the priest.
After closing the door, the fourth sister was still at home, played their wedding tune, and danced with Ruth. Ruth took the opportunity to ask for the password of the safe upstairs. The fourth sister really knew it and told her it was her birthday. (The side face of the fourth sister is really invincible and beautiful, can’t help but say)
As an excuse to let the fourth sister cook food, let the grandson go first, and the fourth sister asked Ruth to rest within her sight. The screen turned back to the conversation between Ruth and little Henry, and Henry pretended to have a fever to avoid his father’s talk. When he went out, Henry couldn't hear his tinnitus at this time, so Ruth asked Henry to meet his father's request and pretended to hear it. The next scene is the conversation between the old policeman and Ruth at the police station. They really have an affair, and the sheriff wants to take Ruth out of the town.
Back to reality again, when the Fourth Sister asked Ruth to take a tranquilizer, she said something the priest often said, which also proved that the Fourth Sister and the priest have a certain relationship, maybe they are alone.
Ruth used the hat trick that the old policeman taught her to avoid taking medicine.
From this it can be seen that every piece of Ruth's memory is meaningful rather than a seemingly chaotic structure. Ruth went to the storage room to open the safe when the fourth sister was going to put the bath water, but found that there were no bullets in it. After the fourth sister went downstairs, Ruth hid behind the shower curtain, when Ruth asked: Who are you? Simei's answer was the same as the answer she had given before playing games with Henry.
This further proves the fact that the fourth sister may be a priest. Then Ruth slammed the fourth sister's abdomen with a screwdriver and hurriedly ran away. When I escaped, I ran into a room of people. Some people told her that you could remarry when you were young. Some people said that the wedding was done well. It can be seen that the two groups of people came from the priest’s funeral and theirs. When she returned to the room for her wedding, her memory went back to the day when she planned to leave the priest with her son. She was packing her luggage. She did not leave at the time, and the suitcase appeared again. A chess piece in the bedroom brought her to the day of her husband's funeral, and then back to the day she was going to take Henry away. The dialogue here can prove that Ruth is actually not a time traveler. She can't change the established facts through repeated journeys. She just goes back and forth to find the clues she wants in her memory. In this conversation with her husband, it was actually a conversation between two Ruths themselves, and the clue she wanted to find was where the bullet was.
And through the argument between the two Ruths, Ruth found the position of the bullet in his memory.
This is why the suitcase has appeared several times before, and it is also a paving for her memory.
Ruth finally found the pistol and the bullets in the depths of her memory. She quickly loaded the bullets in the warehouse and wanted to kill the fourth sister, but missed the sight of the old policeman who flashed past in the forest, so after firing three shots She was relieved, but found that her old lover Allen was shot. Ruth came out of the warehouse after daybreak was covered with Ellen’s blood. She dressed up after the shower, went downstairs to open the door, but returned to the day when she reunited with Ellen again, and said not to leave her. .
There are still chess pieces here, the king of chess. It may prove that this is Ruth's memory.
In this memory of Ruth, we got a lot of clues before. The fourth sister may be the priest, and the priest has long known about the affair between Alan and Ruth, so Alan's death may also be planned by the fourth sister. The priest believed that he could hear the voice of God, and took Henry to the forest almost every night, wanting him to hear the voice of God. This episode looks at the whole thing from Ruth’s perspective. Although the timeline is messy, almost every recall scene has clues. This episode does not say why Ruth suddenly committed suicide on the bridge. Maybe She also wanted to try whether she could hear the voice of God. But what is certain is that Ruth should not be able to travel through time. I am looking forward to the development of the next episode, and I feel that this drama is getting more and more exciting.
