" I made a deal with the devil. " In order to achieve a certain purpose, maybe he wanted to make money while lying down, so he chose to sell YIN on the street, maybe he wanted to get his salary a few days earlier and gave up 5% of his salary, maybe he wanted to To get rid of the fucking life further and help the black usury...
Compared with the previous episode, the theme of this episode is much clearer: for their own selfish desires, many people know that there are hidden dangers, but they still carry out illegal or inappropriate deeds, but when they understand and want to get out again, the devil will not Any promise.
Vincent's honesty and excellence brought him a greater opportunity (danger), the workers' hindsight in exchange for a warning from the lender's punches and kicks, Candy intends to return to the complete Irene from the good, but fuck TM's actually made her "dead" a person, and now her reputation is even greater in Fallen Street.
or their things
This drama shows the daily life of pimps and street girls, which can be described as stripping cocoons and intensive cultivation. Each episode will have new settings, characters and stories.
Barbara, who served as the background in the previous episodes, had her period as soon as she appeared this time, and the money handed over to Larry was naturally not enough.
Don't make excuses for me, since the lower mouth is inconvenient, double use the upper mouth to make up for it!
Faced with the embarrassment of the ruling class, which controls life and death, the exploited classes naturally form a "friendship in adversity" that helps and protects each other .
Melissa borrowed a cotton sliver, and "Sister Elephant Legs" Ruby talked about "Dragon from a blood hole", which successfully whetted Larry's appetite and made him flee.
On the other hand, the competition between CC's two top brands is also becoming more and more fierce- compared to Ashley, who is "aged and degenerate", the younger and more energetic Lowry has the posture of being a latecomer.
The series also leads to another service: recruiting truck drivers early in the morning, although it is hard, it can be regarded as a hot business.
Lori was able to "take the initiative" with ease, and apparently steadily overcame Ashley who was able to complete the task. In this case, CC was of course helping Lori who performed better and had a better future.
But seeing the new laugh, and hearing the old cry—perhaps Ashley is no stranger to all of this.
Next to Reggie, waiting for her subordinate Melissa: she better pick me up, otherwise she will have good fruit to eat! Who would have thought that Melissa and Barbara got together...
Well, it is not too uncommon for young ladies to have more than class friendship (actually, films and Plays of this type have always been popular--), and some people spend their own money to play ducks in their spare time , and there is excess internal digestion. Energy and lust really don't matter.
When Barbara used her private money as a "prostitution" for the two of them to have fun, she had to consider whether they were coming for real.
Bartender's Little Ambition
The bartender Paul has a lot of roles this time, and it can be seen that he will also make a difference in the future.
The first scene is when he eats with his boyfriend, who is always a bit of a scruple of social status—in fact, it doesn't have to be, as Paul said, this is New York, and no one cares.
Paul put forward the idea that he wanted to go to a new place, and asked his boyfriend to accompany him for a while, but unfortunately the other party hesitated and did not agree...
The bar's business is booming, and the new owner, Vincent, is kind, but from many details, it can be seen that Paul is out of tune with this new, chaotic store : he prefers to chat with old customers, even if the brand of cigarettes is Paramount or Marlboro. , can make trouble with the boss.
It seems that the competent employees are emotional and must have a good chat. Vincent deliberately went out for a drink and chat with Paul, and after chatting, he found more differences between the two.
Paul is more obsessed with pure "gay bars", and the business philosophy of Vincent's that has all elements and attracts all customers is obviously not to his taste.
Besides, although Vincent did not show any discrimination against special groups such as gays, transgenders, transvestites, etc., it can still be reflected in his words that he is a straight man whose concept needs to be "improved".
Under the circumstance that the basic concepts are fundamentally different, Paul's idea of observing and learning, and jumping to a new store to operate a new store is even stronger.
But compared to his handsome boyfriend, Paul's ambitions seem a little insignificant ... In this relationship, he seems to be the weaker party (it seems that he is more like a 0).
Cooperation is easy and it is difficult to terminate the contract
The secret cooperation of Rudy, Vincent, and Bobby finally happened.
It's time for another week to get paid, and unlike usual, Bill Schmidt on the construction site suddenly has to take a check instead of 95% cash... Think about it, as long as it's not someone who's just waiting for the money, why should he? What about losing 5% of your salary for no reason over a long period of time?
It would be nice to have only one person doing this, but the problem is that every worker then made the same demands, and the deal was not going to go through.
The construction site manager Bobby and the middleman Vincent naturally wanted to appease the two Rudy who didn't get the check, because they were the "bank" that took a cut ...
It will be better next time. But since the workers all know how to form a group and plan, they must understand that their own interests have been violated, and they are ready to unite to permanently abolish the "unequal treaty".
The poor ghost who works hard, don't toast, don't eat and drink fines - after knowing who took the lead, Rudy and others rushed to the construction site and beat Bill Schmidt, but they were still bleeding and falling to the ground. The deluxe beating package.
Rudy's meaning is very clear: since you have chosen to cooperate with me, a loan shark "bank", there is no reason to break the contract casually, even if we don't sign any bullshit contract at all.
Afterwards, the furious Bobby came to lose his temper at the middle Vincent. After this conflict, the most difficult person to be a man was him...
Vincent didn't know the behavior of Rudy and others, and he would feel angry and scared after knowing it - but in the same way, he couldn't do anything.
It's okay to show some small emotions. Rudy can also see Vincent's dissatisfaction, so he tells him the truth of mixing society and the principles of dealing with the underworld and loan sharks...
The sheep lead the wolves into the house in order to eat the grass early, and when they find out that the wolves are actually keeping themselves in captivity and eat slowly, it will not be so easy to drive the wolves away again—I Mr.
The bottleneck period of bar operation
There is one thing to say, Vincent's achievements in operating bars are obvious to all: he pays Rudy on time and according to the amount every time, and he does not cheat or cheat, which is simply the conscience of the industry.
No wonder Rudy couldn't help but compliment Vincent, until this time it can be said that "everyone is happy".
But you run a bar, how can no one make trouble? And you'll never guess who the troublemaker will be...
During the operation, there was a large-scale fight in the bar, but the result was caused by the police. When the other party took out his documents, even Mike dared not move. Sheriff Sweeney didn’t beat around the bush, and charged Vincent for protection—
I don't care if you are doing serious business, how can the customers be clean? Can you guarantee everyone will stand up to our investigation? So hurry up and pay for peace.
Merchants who have done a good business will always be remembered, but anyone with a bit of power or ability wants to get a piece of the pie. Vincent finally realized the reality: if you want to do business, you must accept black and white exploitation. .
As a side of the underworld, Tommy, on the premise that his own interests are not affected, also gave Vincent a very solid suggestion: buy a gun town, it will work.
Introduced by Mike, Vincent came to "Black Francie" to buy a gun... But it turned out that he was really not a gun material, or the other party had more vision: to be practical, just hire two bodyguards.
In this way, "Big Mike" and "Black Frankie" successfully joined Vincent's bar one after another, becoming a black double-sharp who is good at using fists and guns.
If you want to control the market, you have to have professional security personnel to be decent.
When the business finally closed, Rudy and Tommy were waiting for people outside the bar. Judging from Mike's dedication to expressing whether Vincent wanted to help, he was still very dedicated and discerning as a bodyguard - after all, the two of them were not at first sight. what a good thing...
Why do big things?
Vincent, who seems to have a successful career, actually has too many troubles .
The estranged wife, Andrea, suddenly came to visit Bobby. In fact, she came to find Vincent to get back together. Even if her husband didn't want to ignore her, she would try to stick together.
Andrea still loves Vincent, and now it is unrealistic to use "career" to persuade her husband to turn back. She can only use the reasons of children, wife and family to arouse the warmth in the other's heart.
The problem is, the two of us can't talk about the day when we can tell you clearly! These two couples are not family-loving people. Vincent may have understood this . He can promise to take the children to eat ice cream. Forget about the rest. Even if you are my wife, you can only drink extra for free when you come to the bar. a cup.
A happy and complete family, Vincent has long since lost, he now only has a career, and only a career.
He also has an older brother, Franky, who makes troubles no less than meritorious deeds. It is normal for this rotten gambler to be heavily in debt, and winning money is a rare thing . .
Countless lessons made Vincent remember: it is never a good thing to let Franky hold a large sum of money, let alone he owes a sum of money to Rudy.
So, Vincent secretly called Tommy and forced Franky to use the money he won overnight to pay off his debts. Although his brother went back to the pre-liberation period, at least he was free from debts, and he also settled a settlement. big hazard.
But his own good intentions, Frankie, is difficult to understand. At least for a long time, his brother will remember his hatred.
And brother-in-law Bobby also began to complain that he wanted to be with wolves : "When you work with them, you know what kind of people they are."
Vincent may be compelled... The reality is that he can only have a chance to truly rise to prominence by cooperating with a figure like Rudy.
...
Looking at the olive branch that Rudy threw to Vincent at the beginning, it is not surprising: you are honest, have a first-class professional ethics, and can get along well with all kinds of people . Talents like you are worthy of the great beauty I am about to give. Difference.
Facing many "internal and external troubles", Vincent finds it difficult to reject Rudy's good intentions. He is more eager for career success and wealth than ever before.
——But through the hint of the last episode, we already know that Rudy is looking for a capable, honest, and innocent person who is ready to take the blame at any time...
For Vincent, this new venue in the prime area is a better opportunity - even if he smells a dangerous smell, he will still go in without hesitation, seeking wealth and wealth!
Easier said than done
Officer Allston is about to become my favorite male character in the show. His IQ and EQ are not low, and he has some ambition.
Compared with others who carelessly carry out the order of "Degenerate Streets", Auston has to do something: to encourage Flanagan and himself to catch a small drug dealer, so as to test the bottom line and truth of the superior's order .
Sure enough, Sheriff Sweeney immediately scolded Auston for being "inexperienced", and ordered him to release the small drug dealer with Sheriff Leeds.
Probably Sweeney himself understood that being a superior was "too disrespectful", so he gave Auston a watch in a slightly guilty and reassuring way - it was booty anyway, and I have a lot of meat to be a good favor (Er. Lanagan followed suit with the funniest).
However, this paragraph is to introduce Ms. "Sandra"-a writer turned reporter for "Amsterdam News". When she was chatting with the women on the street, she was mistakenly arrested into the police station to experience life.
Auston, who knows people with discerning eyes, found the clue at once: Look at your temperament, you are not selling it at all. Sandra didn't hide it, but confessed that she wanted to know why the prostitutes did this.
Like Sandra, a woman who wants to experience the truth of the people, but wears a pair of good shoes that can tell her identity at a glance. She is eager to explore the truth and always looks from the top down.
It was because of the suffering of Officer Allston, who was asked for the number by the girl, and thought that the other party wanted to date him, but they just came to stalk the street girl...
It's in vain for me to dress so well, but I ended up doing something more boring than patrolling with you... It seems that Ms. Sandra will have to smoke some more human fireworks and practice for a few years before she can leave the mountain.
The more chewy scene comes from the conversation between Abby and Darlene - anything can happen in the bar toilet, Abby sees Shay injecting drugs, which is not surprising, it is strange that Darlene is reading ...
Just by the broken buckle of the shoe, you can see that the two people's backgrounds are very different: Abby is a rich lady who has broken shoes and replaced them directly, while Darlene is a child who sewed and mended it by herself.
In the end, it was Darlene who helped Abby to fix the buckles— ingenious, knowledgeable, and fond of reading, why would such a girl sell YIN? Curious Abby couldn't help but want to know more about each other.
Oh, little girl, you've hit a minefield. Darlene must have heard this kind of talk more than three or five times, do n't try to understand prostitutes casually, hehe.
When Abby asked Darlene why she didn't contact her dear auntie, she single-handedly said that she had been deceived too many times by herself.
Darlene's subtext is: I'm not a good person, don't think you can understand me after we have met a few times, how can you understand me? ...Although it has the meaning of "poor people must be hateful", this reaction is more out of Darlene's usual defensive reaction when asked about her career.
However, Abby said something even stupider: You can do something else.
In ancient times and in China and abroad, persuading prostitutes to go ashore from the good is the most unscrupulous behavior, and whether it is sincere or false, this practice often has one thing in common: one thinks that he is standing on a high moral level, but points fingers at others, ignoring reality.
Sure enough, Darlene was provoked, and immediately shot back, " You are also selling ass, it's just that I make people fuck and you make people see the difference. "
At this point, the friendship between the two is basically gone.
However, it was also on the shore. Compared to Sandra, who stood in the attic overlooking the sea, Abby at least stood on the shore with her feet immersed in the water. The world is no longer ignorant . He can respond to Bobby's verbal harassment in a disciplined manner, and he can also share a cigarette and continue to flirt with Vincent...
Finally, what should have happened happened - but it wasn't Vincent picking up girls, but the result of Abby's insistence on "my body is my master", and it was the old lady who wanted to fall for your little bacon~
As a literate reader, Abby really sucked in the fireworks. Her concern for Darlene is also sincere and practical , not only giving her a new book, but also a ticket to return to her hometown. This time, Darlene thanked Abby from the bottom of her heart .
Why do many people in ancient and modern times at home and abroad hate the guy who persuades prostitutes to be good? Because this group of people are basically hypocritical people who run the train with their mouths full of hypocrisy, moral guards who are sane, maybe they are saints who just smoked after whoring, or they may be the white lotus who never asks why they swear at people...
If you really have the ability to pay for the redemption yourself, at least add an extra bell?
The dilemma of abandoning the prostitute
The real protagonist of this episode is also the character who clarifies the essence of the episode's theme, none other than Candy. Personally, I think her performance in this episode can be called the peak of the current "Legend of the Fallen Street".
It was another rainy night at the beginning. Tonight, the business of picking up customers on the street was completely lost. Under the guidance of CC, Lori thought it was too low to go to the cinema to sell his mouth and blowjob, but Candy said indifferently: Lying down or kneeling Making money is the same for me.
Stepping into the dark cinema, looking at the lively colors on the screen, she was just beginning to look for clients when she was discovered first, "Do you like movies?"
Everything went according to plan... The unfortunate thing is that Candy was startled by the rat in the dirty environment, lost her soul and fled outside the hall, and before she recovered, she was caught by another person: "You like movies. ?"
Whenever you reassure yourself that "there will be nothing worse", God will always give you a worse experience, telling you that "life is not the worst, only worse."
Irene, who has been in need of a breath for a long time, can only wander around during the day, trying things she doesn't know to relieve the pressure , and doesn't want to be accosted by her single father Jack in the record store...
Being approached by a man in a fairly clean and formal occasion, she was a little confused for a while. She didn't know whether she was Irene hanging out in normal clothes, or Candy wearing a wig to pick up customers... So her first reaction was It's "What do you want to do?"
But Erin still gave Jack's phone number, why not? So she got an invitation for a date.
I have to pay money to different men to shoot J all day long, so I don't have time to chat with someone... So at the beginning, Irene refused to Jake.
Candy was still picking up guests at night, but her condition was getting worse and worse. Vincent couldn't help asking her to "have a good drink ." "Date" request was more familiar to Candy .
This fat man looked like a patient with "three highs". He climbed several stairs to open the room. In addition, the physical load increased, and accompanied by the extreme stimulation of the mouth. Unexpectedly, the fat man was "killed by the mouth" and died suddenly. .
Let me talk about the details here. Whether it is playing BAO in the cinema or opening a room first, Candy puts on a cover (wearing a film) for the other party and then blows it. This also reflects Candy's self-protection awareness of being single . In a trading environment without a bath, a man's horn is really dirty...
Candy's conscience is obviously not shattered. When she found out that Fatty was dead, she did not wash her wallet immediately, but told the pimp and prostitute next door that she was "dead", and then she went downstairs and told the police about her life.
Candy, whose mind was blank, came to talk to Ruby, the "Sister Elephant Legs", who turned off the lights and thanked the guests very understandingly, and brought out the only wine to entertain Candy (After this scene, Ruby has been promoted successfully. For the head of the first confidant eldest sister of the Fallen Street Station Street Girls High School).
Later, Candy saw Nikki's small vest, and through the conversation between the two, they could probably know that Nikki had worked under Rodney before, and they worked together last year. She cherished this precious vest very much.
Aside from the information point of stealing, we don't know what happened to Nikki from beginning to end... Only one thing is certain: she definitely didn't end well.
What happened to Nikki yesterday may be their ending tomorrow. Thinking of her precarious fate anytime, anywhere, Candy is even more concerned.
Suddenly, Erin began to take Jack's date invitation seriously again: she listened to the phone call over and over again, fidgeting, changing clothes, makeup, choosing styles, thinking about what image to look like. meet him.
Irene probably didn't like the man Jack, but she regarded this "normal date" as a life-saving straw for her to get out of the "sea of evil".
In the end, Erin went to the appointment in the attire of the first meeting. During the drinking and chatting, Jack revealed all his information, but Irene kept her own truth tight-lipped...
She thought she would look very mysterious, but she was called by Jack "You don't date very much, do you?" After a long time in the "frankness" between men and women, people will gradually lose the ability to communicate with the opposite sex normally. Irene realized this later, Jack sent herself "home", she was still covering it up.
When the two kissed goodbye, Irene accidentally (almost) exposed a truth: at first, she was reluctant to kiss, but after kissing, she subconsciously stuck out her tongue first, and then aggressively "reverse the guest", full of teasing and provocation. Desire means...
At the moment when she closed her eyes and kissed, Irene/Candy couldn't tell the difference between the unreal and the real. When she realized it, she immediately woke up and walked away, leaving only Jack, who was still waiting to see through - but it was all fake, It's like this place is just an upscale apartment that Irene randomly found.
(Suddenly I thought that girls who are prostitutes today generally only sell themselves and do not kiss. In addition to hygiene considerations, why not make it easier to return to a normal life in the future...)
The episode begins with Candy hiding from the rain and ends with Candy hiding from the "saliva rain".
The pimp (a new face) at the scene on the night Fat Man died, spread the story of Candy everywhere in the restaurant - pimps, thugs, passers-by... The attitude of the men was surprisingly consistent, and Candy made the experience of the client's "mouth death" into a It's everyone's joke (or American talk) .
Candy couldn't tell whether others were mocking or complimenting. In fact, they couldn't tell, but she didn't like this feeling, so she could only respond weakly, "Go to hell."
In the eyes of Rodney, Larry and other pimps, Candy should be proud . This is simply godsend publicity. As a street girl, she will have a prosperous business in the future.
There are only two kinds of people who will not be bothered at all: those who stand on the shore away from the sea, they have no idea what the bitterness and troubles of prostitutes are; those who fall into the bottom of the sea and sink completely, they will laugh at everyone and continue as if they are all right. what to do.
Only those who are constantly fluttering and looming on the sea, looking at the distant coastline, trying to get ashore but getting farther and farther away, will feel depressed, sad and even hopeless.
And for most people, life is not black and white... which means that most people are likely to have a worse, worse tomorrow.
[God damn it, I don't know why it took so long to write this episode...Although "Legend of the Fallen Street" is an unpopular drama, my personal interest is still high.
