Does the heroine know that she is the last heir to the estate? Was Harlan's death accidental or accidental? The charm of suspense films lies in the chaos, finding out one thread that represents the evidence orientation, and then unraveling the whole incident.
Replay of the plot:
Harlan, a wise and wise old man, befriends Makata, a smart nurse who takes care of him.
Both are smart people, and smart people can always sympathize with each other, and the old man Harlan knows the difficulties of Makata: she is an immigrant and has no foothold in the United States, and her mother is a smuggler who has no place in the United States. Obtaining legal immigration status, I can provide her with help, a smart but weak smart man needs his help.
In the same way, in the process of taking care of the old man, Makata also knew that the rich family was unbearable: the eldest daughter's husband cheated; the smart grandson Lansen, who seemed to be favored by the old man, was a playboy; the eldest son was conservative and incompetent. The eldest son's son is an angry young man who can play mobile games online; the younger son has died, leaving behind his daughter-in-law Jonny and granddaughter, who only asks for money.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but the old man thinks it is particularly difficult for him, because he thinks that his love for his family has ruined them/them, making them become parasites attached to him.
So he decided to leave the inheritance to the nanny Makata who took care of him, to help Makata and her family, and his own family asked them to live on their own, so that he inherited his will.
At the 85th birthday banquet of Harlan, the quarrel with the eldest grandson made the eldest grandson know the will of the old man. Ranson couldn't accept it, and ran away in anger after the quarrel.
But soon after leaving, he avoided the front door camera, returned to the house through the back door, climbed to the third floor to find the nurse bag of the nanny Macata, changed the old man's daily medication and the drug label of morphine, and then put the antidote together. take away. When I climbed down from the third floor to leave, I was seen by Grandma Zeng. Grandma said: Lansen, you are back.
Shortly after the banquet, the old man explained a lot of things today. He asked the eldest son-in-law and daughter to confess and divorce, let the eldest son go out and stop trying to make copyright films, and cut off the financial support for his daughter-in-law.
When I returned to the third floor that night, the old man felt that he had done something big and felt very happy, and decided to play a game of chess with Makata. Makata said that she played chess not to win, but to show beautiful graphics: In this case She can still beat the old man Harlan, she is indeed very smart.
In the end, the old man overturned the chessboard and overturned the medicine bottle on the table. Makata was about to give the old man an injection, so he picked up the overturned medicine bottle and started giving the old man an injection. The old man was also babbling about how difficult things were at home.
Makata found that the label on the bottle was wrong, and immediately realized that she had made a mistake, and then immediately went to find the antidote, and found that the antidote was not in her daily bag. At this point Makata should realize that someone had changed the medicine and took the antidote too.
But she still told the old man that she had given the wrong injection, and that the wrong injection would cause the old man to die within ten minutes, and the fastest medical rescue would not catch up.
At this time, the old man understood the consequences of the wrong injection, knew that he would die, and joked that he could change the medicine in his next detective novel as a means of killing: the old man should also know who changed the medicine.
At the end of his life, the self-made old man is proud and doesn't want to die a fool. The smartest nurse is by his side, and he has to help her out of the current predicament: her wrong injection is also a manslaughter of herself, which will lead to her death. Lost her inheritance rights, and her mother has not obtained legal immigration status. So Harlan set up a game at the end of his life, on the one hand let Makata get out of the predicament, and on the other hand let Makata find the murderer and complete his final game.
First let Makata leave, try to make a loud voice, let people know that she left to make alibi, avoid the surveillance at the front door after going out, go back to the house through the back door, and climb up the third floor. At this time, the old man has committed suicide in front of her. Then Makata put on the old man's pajamas and pretended that the old man went downstairs and let the eldest son and the little grandson who had not slept see their backs. At this time, it was confirmed that Makata was perfectly absent. When Makata climbed down from the third floor again, Grandma Zeng said: Ranson, you are back again.
At this time, Makata had confirmed that it was Ranson who changed her medicine and took the antidote away.
The next day, the housekeeper found out that the old man Harlan was dead and called the police. After the police arrived, they investigated the scene and thought it was suicide and prepared to close the case.
The detective ran out. It turned out that Ranson originally thought that he would see the news that Macata had injected the wrong drug and caused Harlan's death, but it turned out to be the news of the old man's suicide. He felt that something was wrong, so he hired a detective anonymously and asked to investigate. And when he tried to return to the old house to destroy his possible evidence (put the antidote bottle back), he was discovered by the housekeeper.
The case turned from suicide to homicide.
The one-on-one interrogation chat also made everyone in the family have a criminal motive, but each one self-righteously covered up their own criminal motive, and secretly dumped the blame on others.
The eldest daughter Linda started from scratch and looks like the old man, but in fact the old man gave her one million as start-up capital. In addition, the relationship between the old man and the eldest daughter should be good. There will be a secret detective game between the two father and daughter. The secrets of this detective game will be revealed later;
The eldest son-in-law cheats, but the eldest son-in-law has signed a prenuptial agreement. If the derailment is discovered and divorced, he will have nothing. The old man asks the eldest son-in-law and his daughter to confess and divorce. The eldest son-in-law is definitely not willing;
The eldest son kept lobbying the old man to sell the copyright of the novel at the banquet, but the old man told the eldest son that he had delayed him, and then asked the eldest son to kick out his publishing company;
The youngest son passed away, leaving behind his wife and daughter. The youngest daughter-in-law is an internet celebrity and opened her own company, which seems to be very popular. Because the old man provides a reading fund of 100,000 US dollars every year, Jonny has been cheating the money for reading, After the old man found out, he said that he would never pay their mother and daughter again in the future.
Detectives find Macata and learn one of Macata's characteristics: she vomits when she tells a lie.
In fact, there is a foreshadowing here, lying will cause vomiting, but just not telling the truth directly? Do you vomit immediately or can you delay the vomiting? Can this vomit macarta be controlled? These are never stated.
So Makata joined the detective to solve the case, and on the way, he intended to destroy the evidence he left when he executed the old man's will.
In the end, still clueless, Ranson returned to the old house to listen to the announcement of the will, and finally found that the inheritance was all left to Makata.
Makata at the scene looked helpless, and the Sloumby family, who claimed to be with her family, tore their faces when they heard the announcement of the will, and even suspected that Makata could get the inheritance because they had an affair with the old man .
Makata fled in a hurry, and everyone was chasing after her. At this time, Ranson appeared and took Makata away. At the same time, she also used her to vomit when she lied. Makata told Ranson about her wrong medicine. Ranson asked her not to give up her inheritance, and he would help her get it. To the inheritance, but the condition is that the inheritance will give him a copy, Makata agreed. Back home, all the media reporters were dispatched to interview this girl who became rich overnight because of her inheritance.
Does Macata want an inheritance? From the beginning, she never thought about giving up her inheritance! When her young daughter, who was in college, called her and hoped that Makata would give up her inheritance, she promised to take good care of her and her family. Makata's first reaction was to promise to take good care of her and get her through college. Next, the eldest son came forward and threatened that if Makata did not give up her inheritance, she would expose her mother's identity as a stowaways, and then there would never be a way to reunite the family.
Makata received an anonymous letter telling her to go to a designated place because of the old man's blood test report. If Makata is indeed injecting the wrong drug, then the blood test report is the evidence and Makata will lose her inheritance. of inheritance.
When driving to the forensic doctor's office, they learned that the forensic doctor's office had been set on fire, and the information inside was destroyed. Makata and Ranson encountered a group of detectives when they drove there, and immediately wanted to escape, but were caught.
Ranson is believed to be the main culprit in the escape of Makata, and was taken away for investigation. Makata goes with the detective, and then Makata finds a way to get to the place where the anonymous letter agreed.
It was found that the anonymous letters were the housekeeper, and the housekeeper was injected with an overdose of morphine and was in a state of shock. What should Macata, a nurse, do at this time? She looked hesitant before calling the ambulance and giving the housekeeper first aid.
Makata and the detective confessed that they injected the wrong drug, and said that they wanted to return the inheritance to Harlan's children, and also found the blood test report left by the housekeeper. The detective also said that Ranson told the police about her injection of the wrong drug.
At this time, the detective found that the blood test report was not wrong, that is, Makata did not kill Harlan by mistake, and did not need to give up the inheritance. And collude with the relationship between this series of things.
So Ranson, the detective, Makata, and two detectives were in the room. The detective dressed the whole thing up. Ranson did not admit to everything he did, and the housekeeper as a witness was also in the hospital. At this time, Makata received a call and later said that the housekeeper was awake and could testify at any time. Lanson didn't care and said that the housekeeper was fine anyway, but what about what she did. Recording everything Ranson said as evidence, it was only at this time that he told him that the housekeeper had died because of the ineffective rescue.
At this time, Ranson became angry and planned to kill Makata. In the end, Ranson was arrested, and when he was finally taken into the police car, he wanted to understand what Mr. Harlan said: Makata is very smart. His own cleverness was being played by Makata.
In the end, Makata calmly wore a blanket, holding a mug of the same style as the old man, and watched the departing family from the balcony on the second floor.
The wisest won the final victory, and the final look made the banner of the victor fly high above the old house.
Replay of clues:
1. The string of tennis balls:
At first, the cheating husband (Richard) found the evidence that the old man Harlan said. Obviously he did not know the game between the father and his daughter, so when he saw the blank piece of paper, he was relieved and threw the tennis ball out. Outside the window, probably to relieve the tension of secretly searching for evidence.
The ball thrown out the window was picked up by the detective and put in the pocket
I bumped into the dog and threw the ball to the dog. At the end of the clip, the dog bit it back, and then the eldest daughter put the ball back where the old man put the ball, and found the letter opened by Richard, The L on the envelope is the acronym for her daughter Linda, so the daughter thought that the game her father had left for her, after roasting it with fire, she knew the information the father had left for her, and her husband had cheated.
This little foreshadowing makes the case look interesting, but I don't know how this line is going to move the whole plot and the case forward.
2. Grandma Zeng's words: Ranson, you are back.
From this sentence, it tells the development of the whole thing for the heroine, and it is also the most crucial sentence.
3. Does the old man leave the inheritance to the heroine?
Even the eldest daughter who seems to get along best. Flashbacks in the film tell us what Harlan sees as his unconditional love for his family — presented mostly in the form of money, turning them into parasites that accomplish nothing. Finally decided to leave the inheritance to the nurse who took care of him, Makata, who was called a friend, and Makata needed help at the same time.
4. Is the heroine really a simple little white rabbit?
Old man Harlan said: Ranson, although you can win me by playing chess, Makata is better at chess than you. It shows from the side that the heroine is a very smart girl, and the relationship between the heroine and the old man Harlan is not just a simple doctor-patient relationship, but a young immigrant girl who can be appreciated by the suspense novelist Harlan. And the heroine was also able to speculate from Grandma Zeng's words that Lansen took the backup medicine, so she took the plan. After all, Ranson was the only one in the family who looked smart.
In addition, the meme that Makata will vomit when she lies makes people believe what she said. Makata also used this meme to win the detective's letter, and finally lied that the housekeeper was okay, and obtained Ranson's important testimony and Recording removes the biggest obstacle to getting an inheritance.
In the end, when Lanson got into the car, he probably also wanted to understand the whole thing. In fact, he was also a pawn being manipulated.
5. Does Makata know about the legacy?
Judging from the whole movie, Makata knows about the inheritance, and when the heirs of the inheritance are distributed, he has already determined that the inheritance belongs to himself.
The detective in the movie said: As a nurse, the heroine has had hundreds of injections, and she can distinguish the difference between the injections that the old man needs to get daily and morphine.
So Makata didn't get the wrong injection, and she didn't find it when she was looking for the backup medicine. She should have realized that someone wanted to harm her and let her kill the old man by mistake. So she counted and the label on the bottle was changed. Talking to the old man about the consequences of taking the wrong needle, a smart old man is proud and smart. If he takes the wrong needle and dies, he will feel a little stumbled. So he set up another game to the end, and wanted the girls to help him complete this game.
6. The Housekeeper's Clue
The housekeeper made a total of appearances. The first time she found out that the old man was dead, the second time she grabbed the little nurse and kept talking at the old man's memorial party, and then told the hostess that the marijuana was hidden somewhere and no one saw it; the third time was The dark laundry room was close to death at this time; there was a flashback between the first and the second time, that is, when the old house was sealed, he saw Lanson alone on the third floor, so he suspected Ranson is the murderer. The housekeeper doesn't make many appearances, but every appearance is an important foreshadowing and strung the whole movie.
