The original text is part of an interview with Pete Nowalk by Entertainment Weekly. The translation was hurried, forgive me. I have been very busy recently (tears), I wonder if it will be revised/updated one after another\(^.^)/

** Entertainment Weekly: Did you always know that Frank killed Lila? **

P: No, it is just a possibility. More like, the way the audience sees it is the same as the way we wrote it: Rebecca and Sam, one of them, who actually killed Lila? This is everything in my mind. I thought, "This is cool. Who is it?" It is really exciting to write down the feelings bit by bit. Because for me, it raises more questions about the relationship between Frank and Sam, and who Frank is. We have begun to slowly push away the fog and get closer to the truth!


** Entertainment Weekly: You actually wrote two different endings. Would you mind telling us what the other is? **

P: I don't want to say what the other ending is, because we will mention it in the next season.


** Entertainment Weekly: Sam didn't kill Lila, what would they think? ? Precisely because it was Sam who killed Lila, they felt that they had a valid reason for killing Sam. In theory, however, it was indeed Sam who ordered Lila to be killed over the phone. Do you think they still have a valid reason for killing Sam? **

P: Yes. When Annalise said it was Sam who killed Lila, it was true. What she didn't know was that no one except Frank knew, the story behind it was more distorted and confusing. Annalise also didn't know what kind of troubles they didn't know would cause them.

Similarly, Rebecca is dead, but this is completely unsupported by any moral argument, she shouldn't die. So yes, regardless of whether they have a legitimate reason to kill Sam, they have to tell themselves that it is right and moral to do so, so that they can let it go and live a normal life. But the house of cards is slowly collapsing. The tragedy is that many innocent people were involved in the incident and hurt by them.


** Entertainment Weekly: Will we find out what Frank owes Sam? **

P: That is natural. This is a great favor. It would be a failure if we don't help the audience answer this question.


** Entertainment Weekly: The audience knows that Frank is the murderer, but will the Keating group of five know the truth? **

P: In the last episode of this season, Annalise really feels that they won't know the truth. And at the beginning of the season, she said, "Human nature is incomprehensible. You will never understand." Maybe all the evidence in the world points to something or a possibility, but unless you really see it with your own eyes , I don't think you will believe it. But we still have a way to find the truth - in fact, there is a person who knows the truth is still alive. Will they discover the truth? What will they do after discovering the truth? The mystery will be revealed in the next season!


** Entertainment Weekly: When Bonne and Asher were in bed, Bonne mentioned that she knew something about Frank, a fatal secret. Does Bonne allude to Frank helping Annalise and others cover up the truth about Sam's murder, or does Bonnie know that he killed Lila? **

P: This actually has a deeper problem. Indeed, the audience will ask, "What does Bonnie mean?" "How much does she know? The fundamental question is of course, "Does she know that Frank killed Lila?" "
However, regarding Frank and Bonnie, we have not yet explained a lot of the stories behind them. We don’t know the scene where they met for the first time, how they met each other, what stories they knew about each other. And about these, there are more Many, many can be dig deeper.


** Entertainment Weekly: Let's go back to "Eggs911". If we go back and watch the whole season again, will we find out what's going on? Or do we not have enough information to discover the truth? **

P: It is related to nail scratches, I can only remind you here: if you can figure out what nail scratches are all about, then you can find out the secret of Eggs911. If you feel that you cannot figure this out, then you may not figure out egg 911. Some people really have very interesting theories, and sometimes I am afraid they will get the truth. This is the challenge we face as a screenwriter/producer: the truth is not obvious, but they also make people feel real and reasonable.


**Entertainment Weekly: Is the recipient of the Eggs911 text a new character, or one of the characters we know of that has already appeared? **

P: I can't talk about that.


** Entertainment Weekly: I believe many people will suspect that Frank killed Rebecca, even though he told Annalise that he did not. But this is too obvious, is it really him? Or should we expand the scope of our suspicion, even some people in the Keating five-member group may be the murderer? **

P: I don't want to give any suggestive clues. Sometimes we will give the audience the most obvious answer, sometimes not. I think as long as the audience is speculating and suspicious, and trying to find out who did it, then we have already done our work this season. When we start the next season next year, we will answer these questions.

** Entertainment Weekly: When Nate and Annalise met, I was worried that he was recording. Really not real, right? **

P: This question is suspicious.

** Entertainment Weekly: Nate finally called the number Annalise gave him, so the person on the other end of the phone will be the main character next season? **

P: I won't say it is the main character, because I don't know yet, but I hope he/she plays a very important role. Who is this person Annalise knows who can help Nate? How did Annalise and him meet? What is the story behind it? These questions are all exciting when I think about it.

** Entertainment Weekly: Do you have a favorite actor? Do you have any dream casting? **

P: I have it, but it will be kept secret for the time being. I don't want everyone to know whether he/she is a male or a female. I just don’t want the audience to overinterpret it. And it's too early to say this, and the casting may still change.


** Entertainment: Laurel has been holding Michaela's engagement ring! When did you decide that this is where you lost your ring? And what do the others in Keating's five groups think? This is Laurel's betrayal of their trust. **

P: They are all liars; they cheated each other from the beginning. This is exactly what I find interesting. We have many, many choices for where to go for the ring. Just like the audience, we will want to know where the ring has gone. However, when we actually wrote the ending, the story felt very interesting and gave a beautiful character to it.

She is far more naughty and smarter than anyone thinks (black belly >>>), and here, we have seen this. They all lied, so this will definitely cause some conflict between Machaela and Laurel, and this is what I am willing to explore. Their relationship is very interesting, and I am especially looking forward to seeing what they will become next year. In general, I want to see if Machaela will respond.

** Entertainment: The first season is finally over, how do you feel? **

P: I feel a long sigh of relief, and I am very happy to see these puzzles. I feel like we have just started to get to know these people, and this big web of their secrets and conspiracies. I am excited because I can see not only this season, but also many and many stories behind it. But in general, I feel relieved because I am really proud of the last episode. I like the last scene, it's fun and exciting, and it's a good starting point for the next season of next year.
