Anthony is obsessed with watches, which has been mentioned several times in the movie.
This time is no exception.
Paul asked Anthony about the meeting with the carer.
"It went well because Annie seemed satisfied. You know, it was mostly for her. I didn't really need to... I mean, it was mostly for Annie. Can I take a look? You
The watch..."
Anthony said and mentioned the watch again!
Paul: "You're right, it's very important to her whether this thing works out or not. She's worried about you, you know, you didn't get along with your previous carer and she was very unhappy...my
What happened to the watch?"
Paul was a little strange.
Anthony: "Nothing. I just had a look. I wanted to see if it was... very beautiful, very beautiful. Did you buy it?"
Paul looked confused: "Sorry, what?"
Anthony: "No, I mean... did someone else give it to you or did you buy it?"
Paul: "I bought it, what happened?"
Anthony: "I guess you didn't keep the receipt..."
Paul felt a little ridiculous: "What are you talking about?"
Anthony repeated: "The receipt for the watch."
Paul suppressed his impatience: "I'm talking about Annie."
Anthony: "Annie?"
Paul: "Yes, Annie!"
Paul looked at him. He looked confused. Did he really forget who Anne was?
Anthony's eyes flashed with resentment and he murmured: "I know who Anne is."
The camera cuts to Anne rummaging through Anthony's closet. She finds a fork and wonders why it's there, then she sees the watch.
Annie: "Dad, I found it!"
The camera switches again, this time to Anne checking on the chicken in the oven.
Then, she walked to the window and opened it. She lit a cigarette and looked out the window for a while.
In the apartment opposite, a couple was laughing loudly.
Anne sighed in annoyance.
At this moment, the audience began to understand Anne somewhat. She was envious of the couple opposite the apartment. Because of her father's situation, she obviously also had problems with Paul.
In the living room, Anthony continued his conversation with Paul.
Anthony: "I don't know why, we never really got along. Her sister is a different story, do you know her? My other daughter. She, she's very good. I haven't seen her in months."
Well, I don’t blame her, I think she is traveling around the world, she is a painter.”
He pointed to her painting hanging on the wall.
Paul seemed to have lost his patience. He could already memorize these words. He slipped into the dining room and poured another glass of wine.
Anthony didn't know: "But if she comes to see me one day, I will be very happy. I will hug her and we will stick together for hours, just like a long time ago, when she was still young and called
My "little daddy", "little daddy", she used to call me that, it's very cute, isn't it, "little daddy"?"
Paul came back. He took a sip of wine and leaned against the wall with a strange expression.
Paul suddenly looked at Anthony and asked: "Now, I want to ask you something."
Anthony was a little confused: "What?"
Paul walked towards him, his approach looking threatening.
Paul looked at Anthony: "But I want an honest answer. Instead of beating around the bush, can you do it?"
Anthony was caught off guard, but still nodded: "Okay."
Paul: "Well, then..."
After a brief silence, he continued: "How long do you plan to cause trouble to everyone like this?"
Obviously Paul is extremely impatient with Anthony.
After all, he is not Annie!
The camera switched again. Annie seemed to have a new hairstyle, which was different from before. Anthony frowned and looked at her.
Annie was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Anthony asked: "Have you had your hair done?"
Anne was stunned: "No, what's wrong?"
Anthony frowned: "Nothing. You look good!"
Apparently he had misremembered again. Anne smiled and the elevator door opened.
Anthony and Anne walked out of the elevator. This seemed to be the floor outside Anthony's apartment. Anthony and the audience in the screening room at this moment thought it was outside his apartment, but Anne rang the doorbell.
Anthony asked: "Did you lose your key?"
The audience was also a little stunned, weren't they?
Anne didn't answer, and he started to look for his own key in his pocket, when a buzzer sounded. Anne opened the door and walked into the clinic.
Then everyone suddenly realized that it was not Anthony's apartment at all, but a clinic!
The entrance hall leading to the clinic is as large as the apartment entrance hall, but the furniture is different.
Anne walked towards the front desk. Anthony looked around, not sure where he was. He looked confused. There was a row of very brightly colored seats here, just like the ones you sometimes see in hospitals.
Anne walked over and took Anthony's arm.
"Come here."
The doctor was writing medical records. He looked up and saw Anthony and Anne.
The doctor asked Anthony a few basic questions, but when asked if he lived with his daughter, Anthony's answer was before she went to Paris!
Anne looked shocked: "No, Dad, why do you keep mentioning Paris?"
This is also where the audience is puzzled. What was the situation before?
Anne told her father that she would always stay in London, but Anthony insisted that Anne could not always change her mind.
But Anne didn't know anything about going to Paris.
Anthony kept saying that Anne had told him before. Anne looked at the doctor worriedly. Anthony didn't notice and was still talking to himself.
In the waiting room, Anthony sat on a brightly colored chair in the waiting room. He waited for Anne and the doctor who were talking on the other side. He looked worried about what they were going to say.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The doctor handed Anne his business card, and Anne put it in her pocket.
She caught Anthony's gaze and immediately gave him a smile, as if she was hiding something from him, and he was full of doubts.
The camera returned to home again.
Anne was ironing clothes, and then she walked into Anthony's bedroom with a laundry basket.
She put one of Anthony's shirts into his closet. She stood for a moment in front of one of her father's dark suits. She touched the suit, as if trying to penetrate his secrets, and then she took a look at his polished clothes.
The shiny shoes reminded her of her father's past.
Anne sat on Anthony's bed with the laundry basket beside her, seemingly undecided: What to do with her father?
Her eyes glanced at a photo on Anthony's bedside table, which showed the young father surrounded by his two daughters.
The next scene is familiar to many viewers. It is the scene of Annie answering the phone in the supermarket owned by Asan, and then buying broiler chicken to take home.
This screen has appeared before.
But the aftermath was completely different from before.
Anthony's bedroom door was open, and Anne saw him on the other side of the room, struggling with his sweater. He tried hard to put on the sweater, but couldn't put it on properly, always putting his arms through the wrong sleeves.
Anne did not go over to help him immediately, but stood in the corridor and watched for a while. He looked very helpless. Anne couldn't bear it and went to help him.
Anthony asked her to help him. He looked at her lovingly, as if he had completely forgotten the embarrassing thing that had just happened between them.
He noticed that Anne seemed a little excited. He asked what was wrong, and Anne said it was nothing.
She made a comforting gesture.
"Okay. I'm going to make dinner!"
When she was about to leave the room, Anthony stopped her.
"Annie?"
She looked back.
Anthony looked at his daughter: "Thank you for everything."
She smiled at him and left the room.
Apparently, perhaps, Anthony had a brief moment of clarity at this moment.
In the bedroom, Anthony was reading a book. He looked at his watch and saw that it was dinner time. He closed the book and stood up. Anthony walked out of the bedroom and walked through the corridor toward the dining room. Anne and Paul were talking, and Anthony stopped.
Listen carefully to the footsteps, and the conversation will become clearer.
Paul had had enough. He wanted Anne to send Anthony to a nursing home, but Anne didn't want to. She tried to convince Paul that she had hired a caregiver.
Anthony appeared at the door, and Anne and Paul did not notice him.
Paul: "Yeah, you're right. Let's see, maybe this girl can do it. You seem to think she's good, but, trust me, the doctor is right, that day will come, no matter how great she is,
He's sick, Anne, he's sick."
Anne and Paul saw Anthony in the room at the same time. They were startled and extremely embarrassed.
Annie was a little nervous: "Dad, what are you doing standing there? Come and sit down, come here."
He didn't respond. What was she talking about? About him?
After a while, Anthony sat down. The awkward feeling still lingered. No one knew what to say. He heard their conversation? Paul tried to reopen the topic.
But when it came to the working hours of the nursing staff, which only lasted after six o'clock in the evening, Paul became angry again.
Paul said to Anthony accusingly—
"Are you satisfied?"
Anthony didn't know what he meant: "Satisfied with what?"
Paul said: "You have a daughter who takes good care of you, don't you? You are lucky."
Anthony looked at him: "You are lucky too."
Paul said somewhat sinisterly: "You think so?"
Anne was annoyed by Paul's mocking tone. She stood up and took the chicken to the kitchen.
Anthony didn't know what was going on, or why Anne was angry: "What's wrong with her?"
Paul was startled for a moment: "Annie? She is tired and needs some sunshine."
Anthony said, "You've got to take care of him, man. Why don't you go somewhere to relax?"
Paul was a little annoyed: "Why? You want me to tell you why?"
After a brief silence, Paul couldn't help but said: "Sometimes I wonder if you did it on purpose."
Anthony didn't know why: "What's the purpose?"
"nothing!"
He poured himself another glass of wine, "We planned to go to Italy ten days ago."
Paul: "Yes, but we had to cancel at the last minute. Do you know why?"
Anthony shook his head and said he didn't know.
"It's because you and Angela had a fight."
Anthony didn't seem to understand what he was talking about.
"Have you forgotten the woman who took care of you before Laura?"
Paul was getting more and more annoyed: "We couldn't leave you alone. We had to cancel our vacation and bring you here, and now you seem to have to stay here, forever, if I understand correctly...
.”
Annie came back and he turned to look at her.
"How wonderful that he forgot!"
But Anne was really angry. She thought Paul was a little mean, but Paul shook his head and said, "Not at all, Anne. I think I am very patient, very patient, believe me."
But Paul also felt that Anne was forced to do so much, and he felt that Anne should not do this for her father Anthony.
However, at this time Anthony once again interrupted the conversation between the two.
He said he still wanted to eat chicken and went to the kitchen to get it.
But when he got to the kitchen, he couldn't remember why he was there. He stood there, frowning, putting the plate down so he could concentrate more on his memories.
In the restaurant, the conversation between Paul and Anne continued.
"I understand how you feel, what I don't understand is, I mean, you've done so much for him. I respect you on that, you decided to bring him here, why not? But,
What should I say? I really think you should think of another solution, he's completely confused, Anne."
Anne didn't like what Paul said, but Paul still insisted on giving Anne advice to send Anthony to a nursing home, but Anne insisted that the new caregiver could take good care of Anthony.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! While the two were arguing, Anthony appeared at the door with chicken. He listened to the conversation, but neither of them noticed him.
Paul: "But, believe me, the doctor was right, the day will come, no matter how wonderful she is, he's sick, Annie. He's sick."
Anne and Paul discovered Anthony in the room at the same time. They were startled and extremely embarrassed. This is a reenactment of the scene.
But the difference was that this time he didn't listen to Anne and sit down. Instead, he was confused and frightened by what he had just heard. Who was sick? Anne stood up, but this time, Anthony did not let himself be led
When he arrived at the dining table, he left the dining room without saying anything and walked toward his bedroom.
Anne sat at the table, lost in thought. She held the doctor's business card in her hand and thought seriously.
She hesitated for a long time, turned over the business card, and sat sadly.
Finally, she made up her mind and dialed a number.
From the other end of the phone, the background music in the waiting room could be heard, and she took the receiver away from her ear.
She stared straight ahead, and then noticed the light projected on the wall. There was a crystal pyramid on her table, and the light passed through it, casting a spot of light on the opposite wall. She held the pyramid in her hand and adjusted the projected light.
direction, the light reflected on her melancholy and thoughtful face.
The shot changes to an establishing shot of the same space but without some furniture. The dawn light comes in and Lucy's painting is no longer hanging on the wall.
Those packed boxes indicate that the apartment is currently unoccupied.
The background music from the previous scene continues throughout these shots.
The music suddenly stopped, and the doctor's voice came from the other end of the phone: "This is Dr. Odgers..."
When no one responded, he continued: "Hello? Hello?"
In the bedroom, Anthony opened the bedroom curtains, it was morning now.
He looked at the street outside. It was the same quiet London street he had seen before. Seeing this, he seemed to be relieved.
A child was playing with a plastic bag outside. He looked at the child intently, so fascinated, as if he was trying to uncover some secret. He smiled at the scene in front of him, but suddenly, his smile disappeared.
