The following year, after a series of job failures, Freddie meets the complicated "Master" Custer (Philip Seymour Hoffman) on a passenger ship drunk. Custer's psychotherapy based on the theory of time aroused Freddy's interest. Under Custer's "temptation", Freddy tried to open up, seek to solve his own problems, and became closer to Custer.
