Sam: I guess we'll see. The
timeliness of the comment text is limited. The speculations made in this article are based on the content of season 1 episodes 1-9. Episode 10 will not be broadcast until the end of January next year, so this suspension period gives us endless room for imagination and guesswork. But once the ending of the story comes to light a few months later, all the speculations today, no matter how convincing they are, look beautiful, it may be completely foolish to say that dreams are absurd when they know the truth and then look back. There is no way, it is the embarrassment that cannot be avoided in this speculative article. Of course, the information clues obtained after watching 15 episodes are far more than 9 episodes.
After watching 9 episodes on Sohu tv a few days ago, I initially thought that the murderer of lila was bonnie. Later, I checked the forum and posted posts. The choice of the murderer had his own opinions, a cloud of fog, and nothing to do. I was addicted to the case. Think about it. So I went to Sohu to fast forward and watch the second time, quickly skipping the branch cases solved in each episode, and only focused on the main line. The second time was the murderer of sam. I thought there was a 90% possibility at the time, because everything was too paving and interpretation. obvious. Then I looked at the relevant discussion posts on the forum post. Many posts came up to give guesses, but the argumentation and reasoning were very random and not rigorous, or there was no argument at all, just expressing a feeling. You must know that there are about 10 characters in this play. With so many posts, there must be someone who is against the real murderer, but what I want is intellectual satisfaction. What I need is proof of reasoning, or logical self-consistent persuasiveness. It's a pity that most of them are just bare-bones, just like a proof problem with a known result. They know the theorem like this, but many people can't justify the argument. After I had a new candidate for the murderer in my mind, I started to fast-forward and watch it the third time to verify it. I had to pause every time I reached the core, savor it, and then I got this article.
Human cognition always keeps pace with the times. After putting in so much energy, I don’t want to watch it a fourth time, so my cognition can only stop here. This article is definitely full of errors and omissions in details, but I don’t care anymore. I just hope that the remaining 6 episodes of this season will be equally exciting.
1. The murderer is Sam
Why not? This is a husband who is full of lies. Although he did not admit that he was a murderer until his death, who knows if he is lying? It's too obvious, right? As the whole play advances step by step, the audience sees his lies again and again.
The police determined that Lila's death was a murder, Sam entered Anna's office,
Anna: Were you screwing her? Sam: No!
Anna: You sure about that? Sam: I said no Absolutely not.
Outside the office everyone heard them arguing, Sam near Anna, continue to lie,
Sam: There WAS ON Nothing going and that with Me Girl.
Sam: the I Swear to God.
Behind Sam lie there Many, all kinds of swear to god. The most important thing is that she denied knowing that Lila was pregnant in front of Anna, but under the inducement of Bonnie, she admitted to lying. Bonnie told Anna that the latter completely decided to give up him.
Sam said that he was never a violent person, but he reached out and strangled Anna and Rebecca's necks under his anger. You said, this liar is not the murderer, who is the murderer? Who is capable of strangling lila and then holding the corpse, climbing the straight stairs up the sink to hide the corpse? This requires a lot of physical strength, and Sam is big enough to handle it. If it's a female murderer, why not just push lila down the top floor, creating the illusion of suicide by falling from the building?
So, this gangster, Sam is determined.
2. The real murderer is actually Annalise
The last section was my thoughts after the second time. After watching various discussions on the forum, many posts that thought the heroine was the real culprit gave me new touches. How to get away with murder, in order to deduct the subject, letting the heroine commit a crime and then exonerate is obviously more powerful than letting the heroine help the husband who committed the crime be exonerated.
I have read the interview text of the creator of this show, and the plots of the next 6 episodes will focus on how a few students are exempted from crime. Miss M's wedding ring, four people transported their bodies to meet the police, Rebecca hotel called 911, and so on. These loopholes will be the difficulties they need to deal with later. As a result, I gradually began to believe that many people on the forum felt right and that the murderer was Annalise.
I changed my perspective to think from the perspective of the creator of the play, and figured out his original story idea. In fact, he is going to tell a simple story: a lawyer who teaches how to get away with murder, gave us a demonstration of the operation; then she still has the ability to help students who committed murder in front of the audience, continue get away. This is the idea of the entire creator. Around this idea skeleton, the screenwriters construct various flesh and blood branches, design suspense and narrative structures, and so on. And Sam, just a blindfold.
So, fast forward the process of watching the third time, I believe Anna is the murderer in my heart, and use this as the precondition to verify the viewing.
3. Guess summary
Annalise is the murderer who killed lila. Of course, she doesn’t need to do this kind of dirty work by herself. , The implementer may be Frank.
When Anna killed Lila, she didn't know that Lila was pregnant. If she knew about it, she would try to oppose the motion for a second autopsy.
That night, Lila ran to find Anna and was blocked by Bonnie. Bonnie said that Anna was not there, and Lila said that Anna's car was outside the door. It can be guessed that Anna is actually at home.
One possibility is that after Bonnie and Frank left after work, the door was unlocked, and then Lila came to anna's house to confront her again, and anna missed her hand and called Frank to deal with it. It is very difficult to throw corpses at the top of the sink.
There are two possibilities. Anna saw the quarrel and arranged for Frank to investigate and deal with it. Frank found Lila on the top floor and killed it.
Pay attention to the family relationship between anna and frank. Wes accidentally ran into anna and nate at night, scared away, anna chased him out, and said: I will kill him, here he refers to frank, and then anna called frank and said you unlocked the door, again! Pay attention to this again, what happened last time is worth guessing. Frank, so that anna can frame the phone to Lila's rugby boyfriend, it can be seen that he is as loyal to anna as Bonnie.
Sam knew that Lila was pregnant and kept lying denying it. Then Bonnie tells anna that Sam has been lying and kissed herself in a vain attempt to buy herself. That is, before the whole pregnancy truth was exposed to anna, everything anna did before was to protect sam and save his ass. This is a very important point. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the various expressions and exchanges of the husband and wife when they are alone many times. Including anna looking for nate to investigate and confirm whether Sam’s alibi at Yale is to protect the family and protect sam, because anna knew that sam did not kill lila, she killed the person, and she knew that sam was innocent. All of his efforts are to minimize losses to preserve sam and protect family reputation in case sam is known to the public as a mysterious third party.
As a lawyer, she couldn't bear all kinds of lies from her client. She also asked Sam to be frank with her, but Sam kept bluffing. She desperately wanted to say to sam: "I killed people, and you will be fine; but you have to tell me the details of your relationship so that I can help you deal with the various methods of the prosecution lawyer to protect you. You.” Unfortunately, Sam was a guilty conscience. He was originally afraid of his wife suspecting that he would kill. As a result, he lied one after another and gradually lost anna’s trust. The potential can no longer keep him. After listening to Bonnie's words, anna completely cut off the goodwill of the husband and wife, began to follow the boat, send sam a ride, and contact da to propose to collect the DNA of the relevant person. In fact, Sam changed his lawyer and confessed everything honestly.
One thing that proves sam's innocence is that after Rebecca and Wes discovered through the wallpaper that sam was a third party, Rebecca was frightened and fled, and Wes was also very angry. Pay attention to the performance of Sam and Anna at this time. Sam was in a panic and offered to go to the police station to provide information first, because he knew that he hadn't killed anyone, so wes and Rebecca first told the police that he was a third party, which was not profitable. At this time, Anna discouraged Sam from going to the police station, why, because Anna knew she was the murderer herself, and Sam must be fine. What she had to do now was to protect Sam and the reputation of her family, so she discouraged Sam from going to the police station. There are many scenes similar to the interaction between husband and wife. When everyone re-watched, the psychological presupposition was that anna was the murderer, and anna knew it well, but she only knew that sam had an affair with lila, pregnancy, and more. anna doesn't know much. With such a priori thought, everyone will go back to the scene of the husband and wife again, I believe there will be many new discoveries and experiences.
Another intriguing detail of anna in the show is her subconscious body movement when she wants to manipulate others: finger strokes the tabletop. In the court, nate was asked to do perjury. When wes handed her mobile phone to her in the study, including bonnie on fire, there were close-up shots of her hand touching the table, which must be meaningful.
I think the main event flow: Anna knew that Sam had an affair with Lila, and killed Lila by mistake. Sam Yale returned home, Lila's body was found, and it was gradually characterized as murder, and the police began to cast a net to investigate. Anna was worried that Sam's feet would be found out, and she sneaked over Sam's phone and found that Sam knew that the matter was serious and knew how to delete relevant information. Anna is still uneasy due to professional characteristics, and asks nate to investigate sam's trip to Yale. Nate lied to Anna to say that Sam was at Yale. Anna was relieved that the SAM scandal would not be exposed, and he could defend Rebecca. There was no pressure, so he said thank god. Wes gave Lila mobile phone to anna, anna was very excited, asked sam how many times did he do it, location, time, etc., and asked: do you love her? Before, she thought that sam was just messing around with flowers and grass, but she didn’t expect that this time she would take a nude photo and send it to a female student, and because wes and rebecca knew the truth about the third party, things were even more tricky. She started drinking boring wine and was sad and fragile. The old friend is good nate, but after investigating privately, nate confirmed that sam was the murderer. In addition, he was expelled. Angrily told anna that he had lied to her earlier and that sam was not at Yale that night. After Anna went home, she still wanted to keep Sam, after all, Sam was innocent, and asked if she loved lila, Sam still answered decisively. Sam went home, and anna asked him if he was at Yale that night. Sam told the truth this time and said frankly that he didn't find lila when he came back that night. Anna told him to give Rebecca a psychological test to find out if she knew the third party was Sam. At this time, anna did everything to keep Sam. Two young people found sam's identity through the wallpaper. Anna asked Frank to put his mobile phone in the griffin car to frame the accident, to continue to protect sam and win the trust of wes. TV reports found evidence of the mobile phone, sam and anna were alone, thanks to sam, and anna at this time I confess that I help you because I still need you. As a result, the second post-mortem found that Lila's pregnancy disrupted everything, and Sam continued to lie and said that she didn't know about the pregnancy. At this time, Anna was still thinking of a remedy. As a result, at the door of Sam's house, dumb told Bonnie that he knew that Lila was pregnant, and the latter told anna. Even if the person was killed by anna, but at this time sam already had a motive to kill, and the repeated lies made anna completely disappointed. Anna wanted to send Sam to a dead end. Instead of notifying the police, she asked Da to collect the dna of the relevant person. The intention of this action was pointed out by Sam during the quarrel. The quarrel between the two parties was very interesting and revealed a lot of hidden things. Then sam is killed and the story goes to the next chapter.
4. Other details
1. The three scenes where Lila and Rebecca get along are all on the roof of the sink where Lila's body was abandoned. It can be seen that this is the place where lila talks or vents when she has something on her mind. After Lila ran away in a quarrel that night, it was very likely that she would come here, and Rebecca should have thought of coming to this place to find her. But when Rebecca is a close friend of Lila, it is impossible to kill the latter. She deliberately designed to trick griffin into breaking, and text called lila to help Lila push the sewage on her boyfriend to help her achieve the purpose of breaking up, all for the latter's sake. And hiding her mobile phone after the latter was killed, worrying that the exposure of the third party would damage her reputation; and she would rather do perjury and get griffin into the water together, etc., all show her friendship with lila, not les love. She and wes are the people who the creators sympathize with.
2. Bonnie and Frank have long known that anna and nate have an affair. After Sam returned home from Yale, Bonnie looked at Sam's facial expressions. Many people mistakenly believed that Bonnie was affectionate. There may be something a little more vague, but Bonnie is really sincere to Anna. Bonnie's expression is different. Because of the murder night, the victim came to the house to look for sam emotionally. Such a big thing happened, of course she looked strange to Sam's expression. But she always thought that Sam was at Yale that night, so she didn't care too much. Afterwards, Sam and Anna had a few disputes, and they were met by Bonnie. She did not associate Sam with the murderer. It was not until she found out that Lila was pregnant during the second autopsy and went upstairs to tell Anna that Anna kept her as a witness and questioned Sam. From Anna's mouth, Bonnie knew that Sam was not at Yale that night, so she realized the seriousness of the matter, so At the door, she told Sam about Lila's arrival that night. From Sam’s performance, she doubted him more. Then she went upstairs and knelt down to tell anna, saying all the truth, how she reacted when she was fired, etc., we can see how she felt about anna. Deep feelings.
3. In class, court, at home, when facing a lover, facing her husband, when facing the wes in private, the heroine has various expressions and various tones and attitudes, changing in a variety of ways. She must be rigid, soft and gentle, like The chameleon thousand-faced Buddha is just as adaptable. This kind of interpretation tells the audience that you can never guess her true face and thoughts. Her tears or tenderness may be a lie, a fake, or a negative. Look at the last phone call she made to Bonnie, you Can see her ability.
So, Sam lied to her, and she lied to the audience. The common denominator is that the listener believes it is true.
Back to the opening two dialogues:
Annalise: I bet you the boyfriend did it.
Sam: I guess we'll see.
It's really meaningful. At this time, the body has just been found, and it has not been determined whether it was an accident or a murder, and anna has already asserted that it was boyfriend. Of course, this boyfriend means sam. Even if it was my anna, it was caused by your boyfriend.
And Sam had a ghost in his heart after all, so he didn't dare to deny and admit it.
Then there was a hint from the camera, and it slowly froze on anna's face, everything was silent.
