The first season of Killing Eve was launched at station B, and my mood is really mixed. On the one hand, I am very happy. More people can see this high-level drama of KE. But on the other hand, it was uncomfortable, because I knew that "certain plots" would definitely be deleted.
But in short, there will be a lot of rivals who will fight against me (laughs).
Due to space limitations, I divided the plot of the first season of KE into three chapters. The links to the first two chapters are as follows:
KE plot combing & talk about Aunt C and Uncle Kang in the shadow/multi-picture warning
Analysis of the Moscow story (Part 1)/Talk about Aunt C and Uncle Kang in the shadow 2/Multi-picture warning
Continued from the above, the plot came to the seventh episode of the first season.
In the morning, Eve and Aunt C met in the hotel corridor. Aunt C told Eve that Vlad agreed to release the people, but Eve’s focus was not here.
Staying overnight without changing clothes = spent the night elsewhere = discuss in Uganda
So where did Carolyn go to the "meeting" last night? I am as curious as eve (gossip).
By speculating on the plot, I think it is more likely that Aunt C and Vlad will have a meeting here. First of all, it was obvious that Vlad was the one in charge of Nadia. Aunt C hinted that Eve was looking for Vlad to do a deal, and on the other side, they had a meeting overnight, both of them, just to win Nadia. Furthermore, when Eve and Aunt C went downstairs to the hotel for breakfast, Eve also specifically asked Konstantin who was waiting below: Did you stay up late too?
Konstantin's reaction obviously didn't understand Eve's meaning, so I can also speculate here that the person who Aunt C went to the meeting last night should be Vlad.
The plot went back to the corridor of the hotel just now. Eve just learned that Nadia could be taken away, and Aunt C's cell phone rang.
It was the bad news from Konstantin: Nadia was killed in prison. Aunt C will be gone for nothing.
At this time, the situation reversed, and the worried people became Eve and Aunt C.
The two people who were frustrated by the Nadia incident left the hotel and went to an old Internet cafe. It turned out that Aunt C called Kenny over. With the computer expert Kenny, maybe the search will be easier. However, in this place, another turning point occurred: Carolyn's attitude changed drastically.
This is also a very puzzling place in the play, and until the end of the first season, it did not explain why Carolyn's attitude suddenly turned 180° and sent Kenny, who had just been called over, back to London. I rely on the speculation of the upper and lower plots to analyze it.
At the beginning, Aunt C told Eve: I called Kenny from London.
At this time, Aunt C's attitude is still the same as before, carrying out a full curiosity.
But pay attention to this place. After entering the house, Aunt C began to stare at the phone, as if talking about something. (There are also typing actions)
When Aunt C looked at her phone, Eve was talking about her own speculation, thinking that it was V that was sent to kill Nadia, which is really terrifying intuition. It stands to reason that at this time Aunt C should stand on the united front and immediately start investigating, but the woman's heart is needled.
eve: Is the evidence all on your face for investigation? !
Aunt C: Reject Sanlian.
When I heard from Carolyn, "We must go through the formal channels." This sentence is really a question mark. You must know that Carolyn is the person who can do everything for intelligence and calls Kenny. Isn't it to conduct a private investigation?
There must be a reason for something abnormal. Eve also feels that Aunt C’s attitude is very unusual, so she asks: Didn’t you ask me to find her? ! How come they are at the door of the house and can't go in anymore.
Aunt C hit back domineeringly: I withdrew, as if I hadn't said it.
Aunt C said I still have something to do, so let's go back to London first.
So here comes the question:
Question 7: What exactly is the "I still have business" that Aunt C said? Why did you suddenly call Eve and Kenny back to London?
To answer the first question first, after Carolyn sends Eve away, the next thing to do is to connect privately with villanelle in prison.
This has been hammered at the end of the seventh episode of the first season.
Although the boss told Eve and Kenny to return to London immediately, they confirmed their eyes and decided to stay in Moscow for investigation.
Late that night, the two were still looking at the prison CCTV, and they made an unexpected discovery.
Isn't this the little V that makes Eve dream of, who is going to meet with V on the way to the reception room?
A capable figure appeared in CCTV, a familiar face: Carolyn!
It was another dumbfounded face. Now, even as the audience, we were very scared by Aunt C's sudden appearance.
After the shock, let's get a glimpse of the timeline. The meeting time between Aunt C and V was 12 noon. That morning, Aunt C was still bald for the loss of Nadia, and Kenny was also called to Russia to help with the investigation. But in the morning, after bringing Eve to the secret investigation site, Aunt C looked at her phone, her attitude changed drastically, she immediately sent Eve and Kenny back to London, and then rushed to the prison to meet with V.
After finishing the timeline, the first question has been answered (Aunt C said "I have something else" means rushing to see V in prison). Let's turn to the second question. Why does Aunt C send them back despite Eve's objection?
The key point of this problem is that Aunt C frequently looked at the phone at that time, what happened in the phone.
Based on the existing plot, it is reasonable to speculate that that morning, it was the time when V was fighting Inga in the prison. We mentioned earlier that Uncle Kang promised to come and pick up V, but the organization has given up on V and arranged for Inca to come to V to death. In order to save V, Uncle Kang pleaded with the organization to no avail. Who else can he contact? Help Vlad? Isn't this indirectly equivalent to a self-destructive identity, and Vlad, as a Russian officer, is unlikely to release V from prison. At this time, Uncle Kang can only ask for help from his old lover, Aunt C. I will give you the news of villanelle, and you will help me rescue people from the Russian prison.
The 12 people behind organized a robbery and asked V to assassinate Konstantin because it was discovered that Kang Si had linked up with the British intelligence officer Aunt C.
12 people have obviously given up V, but suddenly the reason for robbing prison to release V is also clear: instead of letting the British get V, we should rob prison first, let V kill konstantin and then go to V Paris’s apartment to deal with her. , Killing two birds with one stone, good fortune.
Going back to the second question, Aunt C who read the phone that morning estimated that she had reached an agreement with Uncle Kang and learned that V was in the Moscow prison. So at this time, although Eve was expressing his own speculations and Kenny was waiting to start work, Carolyn had already got the information he wanted: V's location. And the task assigned to Eve at that time: find her, has also been completed.
To send Eve and Kenny away, it should have been requested by Konstantin on the other side of the phone. Uncle Kang has seen the horror of Eve’s intuition, and knows that Eve is not an ordinary character (people can be the protagonist), so after asking Aunt C for help, one of the conditions should be to let Eve go quickly. Only you, Carolyn. People come to see villanelle.
During breakfast in the morning, Konstantin also expressed his intention to let Eve go quickly.
So far, Carolyn's abnormal attitude and why it appeared in CCTV later have a reasonable explanation.
Connected, the plot after Aunt C sent eve go back to london was divided into two protagonist character lines, which were carried out at the same time and played interspersedly. This parallel editing method presents the events that happened during the same time period to the audience separately. If you watch it for the first time, it is easy to be led by the nose by the plot.
Then I will follow the analysis of the timeline of each character and tell the story that happened in the next 24 hours.
Then let's start~
First, tell me what happened in the 24 hours of the eve line.
That morning, after Carolyn hurriedly left, Eve decided to stay in Moscow to investigate. At this time Kenny was also online and gave Eve something.
It was the correspondence and photos of Aunt C and Uncle Kang many years ago. Kenny also found out Anna's information. When Eve got the photo, he said that I had to find anna immediately.
That afternoon, Eve found Anna and went to her house. Anna said that he thought Oksana had died in prison.
Before contacting Nadia's hesitation stopped, Eve had realized at this time that Konstantin was the one who took V out of prison.
Before leaving anna's house, eve also took an old photo of V & V's passport cash left by anna.
That night, Eve and Kenny discovered that Aunt C appeared on the prison CCTV. In shock, the seventh episode of the first season ended.
Early the next morning, Eve took Kenny angrily to the hotel to confront Carolyn, but he didn't expect to meet Konstantin.
Amidst mutual shock, Eve spoke up and asked why Konstantin was here. Aunt C just replied calmly: business.
Eve said again, I know that V is in prison. (Subtext, I want to see her.) But did not expect to get a more shocking news.
V was abducted and sent to assassinate Konstantin. Now he has taken Uncle Kang's daughter and his whereabouts are unknown.
During the breakfast break, Aunt C asked why the organization wanted to kill konstantin. The reason here is actually very clear. As an employee of 12 people, Uncle Kang had a private connection with Carolyn, a British intelligence officer who was tracking him. This led to Uncle Kang's murder.
But Uncle Kang at the dinner table obviously didn't want to reveal his identity, so he just prevaried for a reason. It can also be seen that even though I know where villanelle is, Aunt C should not know another identity of Uncle Kang at this time.
Eve’s amazing intuition went online again, suggesting that we can go to Anna’s house to block villanelle. If she wants to escape, she might go to Anna's house to get her passport and cash. Aunt C asked Eve with a face of disbelief: You actually went to investigate anna behind my back? Eve is not to be outdone: you can go to villanelle with us behind your back, what can't I do? snort! (error)
After breakfast, Aunt C went to Vlad. Uncle Kang said that I could send Eve to Anna's house. Poor Kenny was sent back to the old Internet cafe to pack his luggage and buy a plane ticket.
On the way Konstantin and Eve drove to Anna's house, a very interesting story happened.
Eve, who already had an ac number in his heart, asked Konstantin: admit it! You are the old father of villanelle! (error)
I can't help but admire Eve when I see this, as he deserves to be the protagonist.
At this moment, the phone rang, Villanelle's voice, and asked Eve and Konstantin to have tea. After arriving at Rainbow Cafe, the two protagonists meet, and the divided timeline finally merges into one. So eve's 24 hours will end here.
Next, let's take a look at what happened to villanelle in the past 24 hours.
(Rewinding...)
At noon the day before, Xiao V, who had just killed Inga, was told that a visitor (Carolyn) had arrived.
What exactly did Aunt V and C say during the meeting? I think there should not be much important information exchanged. What Aunt C said should be similar to what she said to Nadia at the time. It was nothing more than that I saved you out and you told me about the organization.
Just after meeting with Aunt C at noon, V was kidnapped by a 12-person organization in the afternoon. It can be seen that the organization should have an eyeliner in the Moscow prison and was well-informed.
V, who saw the sun again, didn't wait for Kang Daddy, instead the organization sent a bald head. (It can also be seen here that although V is psychopath, it still cares about konstantin.)
This passage also paved the way for the scenario that V later went to Anna's house to get passport cash. The script of the first season really can't bear to look closely.
After getting rid of his bald head, V found that his new target was Konstantin who hadn't come to pick him up from school. The lyrics in the upper right corner here again seem to imply something.
In the evening, Konstantin drove home from get off work and was ambushed by V. When driving above, Eve pointed a gun and asked him, and Villanelle took a gun and swallowed pills when he went home. I really don't know whether to pity Uncle Kang or knock down this EV candy.
Here V comes suddenly and endlessly: I want to know the names of 12 people. It looks very abrupt.
Why did V, who was originally a killer in the organization, suddenly wanted to know the names of 12 people? Contacting the plot, V already knew that he was abandoned in prison by the organization, and Konstantin, who had been in contact with the British intelligence agent (Carolyn), was now ordered to be obliterated by the organization, so wouldn't he who just saw Carolyn at noon be in jeopardy? The three caves of the cunning rabbit, the good birds choose the woods to live, V should want to get more information out, in case he is hunted down by the organization, he can use the information to exchange Carolyn's protection.
How did Uncle Kang answer?
Smiled slightly, I don't know.
Does konstantin really don't know?
Eve asked Kang in the car, are you one of the 12?
Uncle Kang laughed too, I don't know.
It can be seen that Uncle Kang said no, that is yes. The secret stalk buried by the screenwriter "keeper" is very likely to be dug up by Uncle Kang in the later stage. (Unfortunately, the screenwriter of the second season seems to have amnesia)
Back to the villanelle timeline, the task of assassinating konstantin was unsuccessful, and he was smashed into the head by Kang Die and escaped. Konstantin, who had taken the medicine, drove off the yacht, leaving Villanelle with a bruised face to speak harshly.
Here is a small question, we haven't asked a question for a long time.
Question 8: What pills does konstantin take?
First put a screenshot of the medicine bottle
After checking, the Chinese name is: Codeine Phosphate Tablets . It is used to treat cough and has respiratory depression and calming effects.
Uncle Kang kept drinking while taking the medicine, and then went to Aunt C's place and kept drinking. It is estimated that alcohol has the effect of decomposing the ingredients of the pills? I will not investigate this and have no say.
The target ran away. V took the half-year-old child to Anna's house to get passport cash, but only found a note.
It is the provocative war book that Eve left for V, but in the eyes of V (and the audience), this is a naked love letter!
Next, V invites Eve and Uncle Kang to meet at the Rainbow Cafe. The time line merges, so I won't talk separately.
Rainbow Cafe is also the last plot of KE's first season in Moscow.
Four people meet in a cafe, draw their guns, and confront each other. Eve comes up with a sentence: tell me what you want! (This sentence Aunt Wu said like rap, very funny.)
Uncle Kang was shot, Xiao V slipped away, and it was time for the British investigation team to return to London.
In the airport lobby, Eve received a voice message from Elena (the black girl who was about to be forgotten by the audience).
It was this piece of information that led Eve, who was going to return to London, to V's residence in Paris.
Aunt C next to me asked: Who?
Eve didn't tell Aunt C the truth here. After this series of events, Eve no longer completely believed in Carolyn.
And what Aunt C said next was shocking.
Eve is really miserable, his girlfriend has slipped away, his job has been lost, and the husband at home is angry and can't answer the phone.
Here let's raise the last question in the plot analysis of the first season:
Question 9: Why did Carolyn fire Eve suddenly?
My understanding is that there are two reasons.
One, Carolyn has obtained the Konstantin line. Through Kang, she can access V. This has achieved the task assigned to Eve at the beginning: find her. So eve is optional.
Second, although it was Aunt C who ordered Eve to negotiate with Vlad at the time, Aunt C did not expect Eve to pass Kenny and turn out all her personal letters, and directly gave it to Vlad. For public and private, Aunt C felt that this wave was a loss. And Eve lied to himself in the voice message just now. Both of these points can prove the uncontrollability of eve. As smart as Carolyn, how can he make himself suffer? It must be fired from disobedient employees.
above.
Due to the continuity between the beginning and end of the first and second seasons of KE, Eve went to Paris to smash the apartment and poke the small v. I will not discuss this story. Let's talk about it in the second season of film reviews.
I'm finished writing the plot combing & character analysis of the first season of Killing eve! ! ! Sprinkle flowers manually
The last thing I didn't expect in the process of writing film reviews was that I could even bb so many pictures and texts. I watched the first season over and over again, and I couldn't get tired of it.
The first season of KE is really amazing, the actors scripts are all online. No plot or character in the entire eight episodes is wasted. Worship the entire KE crew again. As for the second season, I will not bring out spicy dishes, although I want to say that the second season is not as good as the first season, in many ways, hey, let's leave this to the second season film review.
In short, thank you KE, and thank you all for reading. You can see that everyone here is a warrior!
