Sheriff Escobar opened his handcuffs,
Ask Gittes' colleagues to take him home.
His colleague told Gittes:
"Forget it, Gittes, this is Chinatown..."

The film does not have a Chinatown story.
The real murderer Klaus is on the loose,
His own daughter, Evelyn, became the scapegoat of the conspiracy.
Rich and powerful people can cover the sky with one hand!
The ending is dark, cruel, desperate,
People seem so pale and powerless in the face of the darkness of society.
