EP02
Danny originally respected Alex's parents very much, but he intuitively (perhaps due to A's noble temperament) found that it was not his lover's childhood home, and he was taken by the real "mother-in-law". "Playing. From the restraint and rigidity of A's parents and male and female servants, as well as the old cross on the wall, it can be speculated that the owner of the old mansion may believe in Catholicism, and Frances' distaste for gays also confirms this.
Before the first dinner in the mansion, it was meaningful for D to change out of his formal shirt and wear a casual short-sleeved t-shirt (nobles had to change before dinner, wearing a formal dress with a bow tie), he didn't want to show respect anymore because he didn't think they didn't. worthy of respect. Frances said "Did you realize your provocation was infantie before or after you came through that door? Before, I see. But you didn't decide to change?" (Did you realize your provocation before or after you came through that door? Are all very naive? I can understand before entering the house, but you don't plan to change after that) The "change" here is a pun, which not only indicates that D does not want to change, but also shows that he continues the provocation in a way that does not change. →D answer "Would you like me to?" (Do you want me to change it?) →F "No, I think I prefer you like that." When I came here, I said, "Forget it, even if you wear a dragon robe, you don't look like a prince, so it's only right for you."
Frances won this round. Sure enough, she chased after her victory and used an elegant vocabulary to create A is a genius story that will use various means to satisfy various people, while D was completely stunned, it seemed that this round of the tiebreaker was about to be defeated again. Frances seems to be in complete control, yet she underestimates D, who is not fooled, sticking to what he believes is that muscles don't lie. He scratched his face, thought for a moment, and answered the most brilliant line in the play with the most common and plain words "I haven't read many books, I haven't been to many places, but I have fucked a lot of people. And there's one thing, you just can't fake—inexperience. I don't care how smart you are, your muscles can't lie. Do you follow me, Frances? I can see you do. So I know for a fact you're lying. I know for a fact that your son, the man I loved, was a virgin. What I don't understand is why you're so keen to convince me otherwise!" Finished speaking, he drank and got up Leaving the seat, in one go, can not help but applaud!
EP04 The caller
who was manipulated by "they" not only wore the same clothes as D, but also used the same old Nokia mobile phone, which means that he also experienced the same security measures as D, not that he was the other end of the call with D, he was not so Senior, and his opening remarks confirm this.
D finally accepted the fact that he was powerless to change anything, followed Scottie's advice and decided to say goodbye to Alex and hold their funeral. At the same spot where he burned his lover's relics, recalling memories by the fire, the emotional D believes in "soul mates", while the rational A thinks it's not "a nice idea", theoretically it's better for both of them choose. Watching the remaining items gradually turn into ashes, the heartache can't be dissipated, it turns out that he loves me far less than I love him, and we can't be regarded as soul mates! So what's the point of staying here after I've done so much for him?
Deciding to go away, D couldn't help recalling every detail related to numbers again, but he had tried every possibility. What was the password? Maybe it's simply self-indulgent, and it has nothing to do with him at all. London Heathrow Airport, D suddenly remembered saying to A "I've done a lot of things with a lot of different people and...that's part of the reason I'm sure that we're something special. But for you... I don't want you to stay with me just because I'm the first. So, you should see other people. You should." But A had already burst into tears and replied affectionately "I don't want to. I don 't need to' why? At the time, I thought he misunderstood what I was saying was a breakup declaration, and I cried with heartache. But now it seems more like crying with guilt that "see other people" has happened? There is no need to try, because it has been tried, and it has been hidden from me!
Then the timeline is: I was his first love → Conversation by the campfire, he didn't think we were very special at that time → He tried 2 calls without me → Conversation in bed, obviously thoughtful but not Ken admits that after comparing, he realizes that although it is exciting but has no spiritual comfort → I asked him to try others, and he suddenly realized that soul mates have always been by his side, so he doesn't want or need to try others - I am His one and only, me, he, and me are the "the one" of each other! D ran back to the abandoned factory, took out the cipher cylinder, and directly dialed the password he had determined—000000001. Sure enough, the gear opened, correct!
D excitedly ran to Scottie, only to find that he was suffering from depression and alcoholism and fell, and kept saying "I was just remembering a place." once, Danny?!" I have known D for many years, but I have always only acted as his spiritual mentor, listening, giving opinions, giving help, and then listening, giving opinions, giving help, or blessing. D seems to have never cared about what kind of person he is and what he needs, but forget it, he is only a child, he still needs to grow up. Scottie gradually woke up "A place where no-one cares.", and then couldn't help kissing D. Now D is no longer naive, but he still does not understand the meaning of this sentence. With his intelligence and keen intuition, how could he not have imagined that for a relapsing depressed patient, this place is of course not a location but only death, and death is liberation!
It was the best episode because of the love; it was also the worst episode because of the reveal. Alex's terrifying secret, the reason for his murder, and what politicians around the world agreed to destroy, turned out to be nothing more than polygraph software. Anticlimactic, spreading a vast and boundless giant net just for the nightingale; the deep foundation pit that can carry ten thousand zhang tall buildings actually only covers 3 floors of buildings.
There are several pairs of love lines in this play, D and A, Scottie and D, Claire and Scottie. They can all sacrifice for each other without asking for anything in return. This is true love. In addition, it also discusses whether true love must be based on a complete understanding of the other party.
Marcus, the tutor of Alex University, spiritually admires and even envys Alex's intelligence, disdains DA's "partnership", and advocates the spiritual supremacy based on academic and ability understanding. Suddenly feel empowered, the professor is not wrong, he may be admired but lonely, but he chooses to devote himself to academics instead of life, so he thinks that people who are better than himself, such as Alex, should be like him, Puritans generally practice asceticism, enjoying the inevitable collateral damage of loneliness, taking it as their responsibility to complete the historical mission, and taking changing the world as their ultimate goal. In their eyes, all the chores of life are unnecessary, dispensable, take up energy, waste time and limited life. - I admire this type and have great respect for them. However, love itself is not high or low, the love of spiritual admiration and the love of living together and supporting each other's skin are equally low, and the difference is only human. For Alex, it is obvious that he is not pursuing the life of an ascetic. He is used to the control of a noble mother but wants to break free from the cage; he is used to loneliness but yearns for a partner like a dying person in the desert longs for spring water.
I can't help but think of "The Imitation Game", Turing rejected Joan's good intentions to live with him twice, except that he feels inferior to Joan's sacrifice and hopes she can find a better home; I am afraid it is because of "being admired is lonely" ! Joan's love for Turing is similar to a professor's love for Alex, pure spiritual love, based on a deep understanding of academics, intelligence, and abilities, can be a good job, but not a love partner. Because Turing or Alex can't get lighthearted pleasure from their admirers, but only a deep sense of loneliness.
At the police station, the woman warned that D was exempt from prosecution. It's so abrupt again, how can I give up the exquisite evidence trap that is tailor-made? It is impossible for the little policeman to fight against the special agent system by himself, and the policewoman obviously has an expression of being unable to help herself. The only possible explanation is bloody - this is Scottie's plan, to trade his old life for Danny's freedom, and perhaps Claire's safety, and die without regrets! He used the trajectory of his life to answer the question "How do you kill a depressive?"
EP05
Scottie finally got his wish and went to "A place where no-one cares." He may blame D a little for not giving him the comfort he deserved and alleviating his pain; but he also knows that he is only a spiritual mentor with D, and he D cannot be asked to give in return. The heart is not here, it is reluctantly useless, and now I have died, without any complaints or regrets!
D inherited everything from Scottie, the house, the car, and a few pieces of luggage, and stepped into the "home" door. Claire returned the doodle that Scottie sent her to D, proving that Scottie thoughtfully, and then voluntarily jumped into "they"'s arms after arranging things before and after, committing suicide under a tree that might have died in a single thought thirty years ago . Old Scottie even paved the way for D (back to college), tears!
Late at night, D drove to the old mansion of A's parents. Black formal clothes, high-end classic cars, mature and stable voice and intonation, highlight D's growth and changes. The male host finally opened up his sense of existence, and the two confronted each other, Frances "What harm can it do?" → Charles "What good can it do?" → Frances "What possible good? What good can any of us do? Better leave him be . He's just a boy." → Charles sneered "Just a stupid boy." This dialogue is quite meaningful, the translation should be that Frances dislikes Charles' cowardly, timid, useless and special power, "Now confess to Danny, What could be worse?!" → Charles "What good could that be" → Frances "Good? I've lost my most precious possessions - my son and my hope, and now there's only life and sadness left here. , what else could be good for us! You'd better leave me talking to him, he's just a kid." → Charles "Kid, hehe! A stupid 'kid'!" Instructions, first visit When D targeted the wrong person, it is true that A's tragedy was largely blamed on Frances, but Frances used it and used it, and still had true feelings for A, while old Charles was only indifferent; A died, Frances' inner pain was no less than others!
Frances tells a thrilling story. After listening to all this, D burst into tears but was not surprised, he already understood what kind of world this was.
In the end, A's biological mother rushed to the garden and burned the hedge maze with gasoline, the flames of anger soaring into the sky. D "For her son. It'all SHE can do!" In ancient Greek mythology, the labyrinth was designed by a great artist in Athens to imprison the Minotaur, the famous half-man, half-bull monster, the labyrinth reveals The dual characteristics manifested in the human spirit, complex and simple, mysterious and knowable, sensuous and rational, symbolize the eternal philosophical contradiction between free will and real destiny, and represent the meaning of religion and witchcraft. Among them, Plant maze is the representative of Western garden plant culture. Then, maybe this move is the fulfillment of A's wish, against the Catholicism and strict adoptive mother represented by this ancient mansion, and against the violent system.
At the entrance of the mansion, D's rebuke Frances "Just a stupid boy?" is also a provocation to Frances, this time it is also an announcement that he is no longer a child! D turned away and turned back, the ancient gate creaked shut in the firelight.
In fact, I personally think that the subtitles at the end of the play are just right, and the space is left to give the audience enough space for imagination. But unfortunately, I was disappointed at the last minute. Just when D was about to start the car, Frances jumped up and said, "Let's burn them down for real."
Finally, six major bugs were summarized:
First, the two ADs were not killed directly. sm is too much on the scene of both deaths, and has to spend a lot of time playing games with D, are there too many agents too idle?
Second, the reason for Alex's murder, and the thing that politicians all over the world agreed to destroy, turned out to be just polygraph software!
Third, if Scottie dies, D will be free. Is this to show that "they" is omnipotent?
Fourth, when D goes to find A to make an appointment, A has been trapped in the suitcase for a long time, and this day is the first day. After the polygraph test, there should be no other interrogation, but directly suffocated him to death. According to normal logic, A should not last until the end of the second day. And it was the first day that D got the key to enter the attic, and called the police.
Fifth, is the warehouse scanning locator so smart and intimate?
The feeling after the second brush is that there is no need to kill A at all. A was just in a relationship. At most, he was not ordered by the organization to stop researching dangerous procedures, or he was suspected of making the procedure public. Based on the principle that talents are hard to find, wouldn't it be better to limit his personal freedom, brainwash him, or threaten A with D? There is a problem with the basic logic!
It can't be forced, all settings are for love, and life and death are under the screenwriter's pen.

Having breakfast with A for the first time, when he pierced through and peeked into the wardrobe, he also responded silently with a smile, which was different from a manager's empty, procedural, perfunctory smile. The first half second of this smile was childlike and innocent. Half a second is the embarrassment of an adult.
