Chapter 1599: Being trapped in time is like being trapped in a horror world
Some people say that "Father Trapped in Time" is more like a thriller.
In fact, the people watching the movie in the theater at this moment also feel this way.
Who is this woman who came?
Is she Anne?
So what happened to that Anne before?
Returning to the movie with this doubt, the woman took off her coat.
The woman asked, "What happened?"
Paul appeared in the corridor, standing behind Anthony: "It's nothing serious. Your father seems a little... confused."
The woman asked with some confusion and concern: "Is something wrong? Are you okay, dad?"
But Anthony obviously did not recognize the daughter in front of him.
He obviously didn't recognize the woman.
The woman paused and asked, "Dad?"
Facing her approach, Anthony took a step back. He didn't understand why she called him "Dad". To him, she was a complete stranger.
Anthony was at a loss: "I...what the hell is going on?"
The woman frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Anthony asked her: "Where is Anne?"
The woman looked towards Paul, now the confused one.
"What?"
She didn't understand what was happening.
Anthony: Anne, where is she?
She realized that Anthony did not recognize her. She glanced at her husband Paul worriedly.
The woman said: "I'm here, dad... I went downstairs to buy something. Now I'm back."
Anthony tried to hide his surprise.
But he was still surprised.
"I...I understand, then...what did you buy?"
"A chicken. How does that sound? Are you hungry?"
Anthony nodded numbly: "Of course."
In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, if your daughter suddenly changes to another person, that person also claims to be his daughter and has a strange son-in-law.
For Anthony, this kind of thing is nothing short of a thriller!
Anthony looked confused and frustrated, because he couldn't tell which one was the real Anne, which was his daughter, but he was a little confused and didn't know how to tell.
For a man and a father, this is undoubtedly a torture.
Paul said to Anne: "Come on, give it to me. I'll get it."
He took the bag and walked toward the kitchen. They looked at each other worriedly.
Anthony walked slowly back into the living room, confused.
Anthony decided to pick up the chess piece.
The woman (Anne 2) appears and walks towards Anthony. She looks really worried.
She looked at her father and said worriedly: "Paul said you don't feel well."
Anthony was a little depressed but still said: "I'm fine, thank you."
Anne obviously also saw that he was not well: "You look depressed."
Anthony: "No, it's just..."
Woman: "Just what? Tell me..."
Anthony thought for a while and said: "I was in the kitchen...making tea...I was alone in the apartment...suddenly, I heard a sound...
So I came over and your husband was..."
The woman interrupted him.
The woman looked stunned: "Who?"
Anthony replied: "Your husband."
Woman: "What husband?"
Anthony tried to explain: "It's your husband, dear, not mine."
The woman asked: "James?"
Anthony: "Your husband."
Woman: "Dad, I am single now."
Anthony was stunned: "What?"
The woman said: "I divorced five years ago, have you forgotten?"
Anthony looked like he had fallen in love with the husky, and was a little frightened: "What? Then who is he?"
The woman asked: "Who?"
Anthony was a little crazy: "Did you do it on purpose? I'm talking about...him, the one who just left with the chicken."
The woman looked confused: "Chicken? What are you talking about, Dad?"
Anthony: "Right here, a minute ago. You didn't hand a chicken over to a man?"
In fact, not only the women in the movie were confused, but also Beers and other viewers at this moment also looked stunned.
Confused again!
Who is that Paul?
Who is James?
Who is the woman in front of me?
Ten years of marriage?
Five years after divorce?
What the hell is this? Obviously at this moment, Anne, or this woman, doesn't know what Anthony is talking about.
Anthony emphasized again: "That chicken! A minute ago, you were holding a chicken, weren't you? A chicken, a chicken!"
Woman: "What chicken? What are you talking about, Dad?"
Realizing that Anne didn't understand what he said, he suddenly rushed towards the kitchen in panic.
Anthony came to the kitchen, but there was no one in the kitchen, and there was no Paul at all.
Anthony murmured: "He was clearly here just now!"
He went back to the restaurant to look for it.
There was still no one in the restaurant. At this time, the woman appeared at the door.
The woman said: "I think you are mistaken, Dad, there is no one here."
Anthony was stunned: "He disappeared out of thin air."
The woman smiled: "Who? The man who took the chicken?"
Anthony said again: "Your husband, the man who took away the chicken, why are you laughing?"
The woman shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'm sorry."
She came over to comfort him, but Anthony ducked away and went toward his bedroom.
"I'm going crazy with all this shit."
Isn't it? Anyone who encounters such a weird thing will be driven crazy!
But what exactly is going on?
Bills is also full of questions, as are everyone else.
The camera turned and came to Anthony's bedroom again.
He went to the bedroom. The room was the same size as the bedroom before, but some of the furnishings and furniture were different - as if he was actually in another apartment.
He noticed these differences, frowned, walked towards the window, and opened the curtains.
The field of view was the same as before, and it was not difficult to see that this was the London street we had seen before. So to him, it was obvious that he was still in his apartment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The woman appears again.
She asked: "What's the matter, Dad?"
Anthony said: "There's something weird going on. Believe me, Annie, there's something weird happening!"
The woman said gently: "Come and sit down, come here..."
He walked over and sat on the bed, very unhappy. The woman smiled at him and put a hand on his.
She reassured: "Don't worry. Everything will be solved. Huh?"
Anthony still couldn't let go. He said blankly: "I don't know."
The woman said: "Yes, I will. Don't worry. Have you taken your medicine?"
Anthony was confused: "What does taking medicine have to do with these things?"
The woman did not answer but said: "Take the medicine, the dose at night, you will feel better after taking it."
She shook out a few pills from a medicine bottle beside the bed. Anthony's eyes were in trance, and he said to Anne as if he was confessing a secret——
"It's been like this for a while, and strange things are happening around us. Didn't you notice? There is a man claiming that this is not my apartment, a man who looks particularly cold, a bit like your husband, only worse than him
.In my apartment, you know what I'm saying? This is just ridiculous. Don't you think? In my apartment, he told me...but...it's mine
An apartment, isn't it? Huh? Annie...this is my apartment, right?"
She smiled and did not answer him. She was preparing medicine for him.
I don’t know why, but the audience had a creepy feeling. Is this woman really Anthony’s daughter Anne?
After all, a woman, a strange woman, claimed to be Anthony's daughter, but she was completely different from the daughter in Anthony's memory, and at this moment she was preparing medicine for him.
Anthony asked: "Really?"
The woman did not answer, after a short silence.
Anthony couldn't help but said again: "Tell me, Anne, this is indeed my apartment, isn't it?"
She handed the medicine to him without saying a word. Anthony took the medicine, looking like a confused child.
She smiled at him.
The shot switches and the camera focuses on the empty room for a moment, as if inserting a punctuation mark. It's the same place as before, but it has the characteristics of Anne and Paul's apartment, which is brighter and more modern than Anthony's.
Annie came back with the things she just bought. She was talking on the phone while trying to hold on to the shopping bag.
Anne: "Yes, I know... I know... No. You can't imagine how hard it is sometimes... One day, he won't even recognize me.
.....I know......"
She placed the bag in the kitchen, exactly where Anthony saw the shopping bag in the shot.
Anne, still on the phone, retreated into the hall to hang up her coat, planning to deal with the bags in the kitchen later.
Annie was still on the phone: "No, I'll wait for her at any time. Yes..."
She hung up her coat. Then she picked up the envelope, opened it, and walked to the study room.
The camera follows Anne to the study. This looks like her study, which is different from the study in the previous shot. The room is the same size, but the layout is different. This is where Anne, a translator, works.
Annie said into the phone: "Yes, yes. I will call you later, love you. Thank you..."
Apparently she was talking to her boyfriend or husband on the phone.
She hung up the phone and sat at the table.
The camera switched to Anthony's bedroom. Anthony was lying on the bed in his pajamas. He was holding a newspaper and a pencil and was concentrating on filling in the crossword grid. Suddenly, he stopped.
He stared straight ahead blankly, with a worried expression. He tried to figure out what was going on. He looked around. Why did he feel that he was no longer in his apartment?
Annie turned on her computer and started working.
The doorbell rang, and she immediately closed her computer and walked towards the door, feeling a little uneasy.
She opened the door and it was Laura.
The two of them chatted politely with each other.
Obviously, the identity of this Laura is coming out, and she should be the nurse invited by Anne.
The setting in the living room is the same as in the woman's apartment: that is, it is no longer Anthony's apartment.
After sitting down, Anne pointed to her father's room. She walked towards it, as if to call him. Then she turned back to Laura and explained the situation to her.
"So, yes, like I told you, I...he was a little unhappy about it..." Anne said.
Laura shook her head: “It’s okay.”
Annie: "Yeah. It would make him... Anyway, I think he's a little angry with me. I'm telling you this to remind you that he might be...unexpected
Reaction."
Laura asked: "He had been living alone before?"
Annie nodded: "Yes. In an apartment not far from here. It was no problem before. I could visit him basically every day. But now, we have to make other arrangements. That didn't work in the past."
Laura understood.
Anne continued: "He had several carers in succession. But he didn't get along with them. He had his temper... so I moved him here to live with me, but I didn't
It's too hard for me to take care of him by myself, I have to work, and...so I..."
Annie tried to control her emotions.
"Well, that's why I need someone to help me."
Anthony suddenly said: "I think I heard the doorbell ringing."
Annie: "You heard me right...Dad, I want you to get to know Laura."
Laura greeted: "Hello, sir."
Anne: "I explained to you that Laura was coming to see you today."
After greeting each other, Anthony said: "You are... beautiful. But I... didn't we know each other before?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Laura shook her head: "No, I don't think I know you."
Anthony frowned: "Are you sure? I do have an impression that I should have seen you before..."
He took a step toward her, looking excitedly at her face. Anne tried to bring him back to the topic.
Annie said quickly: "Well, Laura is here to learn about your life and see how she can help you."
Anthony nodded: "I know, honey, I know. You told me more than a hundred times."
He turned towards Laura: "My daughter always likes to say one thing over and over again. You know what this is like...it's because of her age..."
Laura smiled, taking this as a joke.
Anthony asked, "Would you like anything to drink?"
Laura: "Thank you for your kindness, but no thanks."
Anthony: "Are you sure? An aperitif? It's aperitif time, isn't it? What time is it? It's..."
He realized he wasn't wearing a watch.
"Wait, I'll be back soon." He said and walked towards the bathroom.
Anne explained to Laura: "He went looking for his watch."
After a short silence, Laura broke the silence.
"I gotta say, he's cute."
Anne smiled reluctantly: "Yes, but not always."
Anthony found his watch in the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and confirmed that his hair style was okay. This was a narcissistic moment, and he walked back to the living room with satisfaction.
Anthony came back with a grin, determined to make Laura like him.
"As I expected, it's aperitif time. I have two watches, I always have two, one on my wrist and one in my head, always. Well, do you want something, young man?
Miss?"
Anne was quite embarrassed and said: "Dad..."
Anne's interruption made Anthony unhappy. "What? Can't I entertain our guests to have something to eat?"
He looked at Laura, and the smile returned to his face.
Anthony and Laura talked about their daughter.
Anthony: "Calm down. So is her mother. Her mother is... the calmest woman I've ever met. Her sister... is a whole different story."
Laura was stunned: “You have two daughters”
Anthony: "Yes, although I basically have no news about the other one. Lucy, no matter what, she will always be my favorite daughter."
It can be seen from Anne's expression that she was hurt.
However, Bierce was thoughtful. In fact, the audience in the screening room felt at a loss but also suddenly at this moment.
