Today we will watch a movie

Nicolas Cage starred in the movie "Matchmaker

The story begins with Roy, a professional con man.

He has a protégé and partner, Frank, and they work well together.

The victim is contacted on the pretext of winning the jackpot and then claims that he can buy a water purifier tax-free

Then they can sell the water purifier at 10 times or 20 times the market price.

Then they come to the house as Federal Exchange Commission agents.

Tell the victim that they have been duped

Finally, the victim's bank account number and signature are obtained under the pretext of investigating the case.

Again, they scammed the victims and prevented the police from being called.

Although each scam was a small amount, the two men

But the accumulation of small amounts of money Roy has saved a lot of money

But in Roy's mind there was always a sense of guilt about this behavior

He kept trying to convince himself that he was not a scammer

is a scam artist did not steal or rob those who sent money to him of their own accord

In order to alleviate the guilt

But the strong contradiction made Roy suffer from severe mental obsessive-compulsive disorder

Including a severe cleanliness phobia square phobia must open and close the door three times

Facial muscle twitching involuntarily and other symptoms

Usually Roy relies on medication to maintain

This day Roy accidentally dropped all the medication into the sewer

He called the doctor immediately

It turned out that the doctor had already moved out of the house, which made his mind start to lose control

After seeing the stain on the carpet

Roy began to clean up uncontrollably

He kept wiping every corner of the house with disinfectant

During this time Frank called him several times Roy did not answer his phone

Roy scrubbed from morning until dark.

He felt a little relieved to see a spotless house

A few days later Frank, who hadn't been able to reach Roy, found the house.

Frank was grinning and eating a burger.

Roy looked at the crumbs of bread that had fallen on the carpet.

He was so sick that he threw up.

Frank saw the situation and referred Roy to a psychiatrist.

Roy wanted the doctor to prescribe some medication to relieve his symptoms.

But Dr. Clay had to understand his condition before he could prescribe medication

Roy had to tell about his symptoms and his emotional state of life

Roy's personal life was solitary, with no relatives or friends.

He doesn't go out unless he has to. He has a crush on the cashier at the nearby supermarket.

But he never had the courage to shake hands with the other person to get to know them

His only love life was more than a decade ago

He and his wife broke up and divorced when his ex-wife was pregnant.

If his ex-wife had given birth to the child, he would have been 14 years old now

Roy then got some medicine from Dr. Clay to relieve his symptoms

When he returned home, the idea that he might have a child

He dialed his ex-wife's phone several times

He never had the courage to ask his ex-wife and hung up as soon as he got through.

So he gave his ex-wife's phone number to Dr. Clay

Hoping he could help with the inquiry

A few days later Clay told Roy that he had heard from Roy's ex-wife

Roy did have a 14-year-old daughter, Angela.

But the ex-wife didn't want to talk to Roy, much less see him.

But Roy's daughter did want to see Roy.

Dr. Clay also helped him to arrange a time and place to meet with his daughter

This made Roy very excited and he drove to the small park where he met early

Roy was excited and nervous at the same time

He didn't know what image he had in his daughter's mind

He didn't know how to face his daughter.

He watched as the girl who looked like his daughter appeared outside the car

But hesitated to go forward until the girl was ready to leave

Roy only got out of the car and called the girl was really Angela

Unlike Roy's imagination before he met her, the two of them got along very well.

Angela's lively and cheerful also unknowingly influenced Roy

Roy felt a warmth he had never felt before, and in order to preserve his image

Roy lies that he is an antique dealer

When we parted, Angela wrote her personal phone number on Roy's hand

Roy, who has a deep sense of cleanliness, not only did not resist

Instead, he couldn't wash it off and couldn't stop giggling when he got back

Roy felt he owed Frank a favor

If he hadn't introduced Dr. Clay he wouldn't have met his daughter

He then agreed to work with Frank to scam the tycoon Chuck

Frank had already taken the opportunity to get to know Ek before.

And knew that Chuck had no black and white background

Roy decided to scam Chuck with an exchange rate that normal people don't touch

In the evening after Roy collected some lift

Ready to go to the nightclub with Frank to fish Chuck

Angela, however, found the place where she had a fight with her mother.

Angela used to spend the night at her best friend's house.

Now that she had a father, Angela naturally found her way here.

Roy had to leave Angela alone at home

He rushed to the nightclub and came to the nightclub

Lank deliberately attracted Chuck's attention and then deliberately behind Chuck's back

Sneaky and Roy trading something

This caused a great deal of interest in Chuck.

The initial plan of the two was successful

And Angela, who was home alone, was not at ease.

Curious, she rummages through Roy's belongings

She inadvertently finds a handgun and a large amount of cash that Roy has hidden in a ceramic dog.

Over the next few days Angela stayed at Roy's place

Roy said this was too much while putting away the messy kitchen

But in his heart he had a happy feeling that many of the things Angela did

In the past Roy seemed unacceptable

But at this time he did not feel much

His cleanliness was compromised in front of his affection

On the other hand, after Roy and Frank had whetted Chuck's appetite

And even more [reluctantly] met with Chuck

Roy disguised as a bank staff managing foreign exchange

Said that you can use the exchange rate difference to easily earn high profits

But Roy is a staff member is not good to come out Frank and has a previous record

So the two can not be a large arbitrage can only make a small fortune

And if Ike join then Roy will let go of his hands

Mortal cooperation to earn large profits

In order to get Yiq on the cha two people also gave Chuck a little sweet

This convinced Yiq on the spot said to invest more

When he got home, Roy wanted to introduce Angela to Frank.

When he found out that Angela was not at home, Roy waited until late at night.

The hook Angela slipped back through the back door

Not knowing how to express his concern, Roy threw a tantrum

Angry Angela was ready to leave Roy also realized that he spoke too much

So he explained incoherently that he was not really angry and wanted to get rid of Angela

He was afraid of losing Angela. He didn't know how to be a good father yet.

Angela, however, said that Roy was lying.

Just like he said he was an antique dealer

Antique dealers don't keep that much cash and guns in their homes.

Roy had no choice but to tell his profession

Not only did Angela not get angry

Instead, she happily let Roy teach him how to cheat.

Roy did this line of work has made him feel very guilty how will agree to it

But he couldn't resist the little cutie's persuasion anytime and anywhere

Finally agreed to do so

But only to teach her tricks not to let Angela become a liar

The next day Roy took Angela

Buy a lottery ticket and the last winning number is only a number difference

Then scratched the old date off the ticket and Roy told Angie

How to choose a target how to talk and other considerations

Angela seems to be very talented in this area

Soon picked an older woman at the laundromat

Deliberately dropping the lottery ticket in front of her

When she returned it to her, she denied it and threw it on the table

The older woman couldn't resist her curiosity and took the lottery ticket with Angela.

Checked the winning numbers of the last issue of the newspaper

When the aunt was disappointed, she found that there was only one number missing.

When the aunt was disappointed, Roy sent a helping hand and said that there was a prize for missing a number

The old lady immediately called to make sure that the shortfall of one number could be exchanged for $600.

As the person who found the lottery together, she and Angela can share the $600 equally

The rest of the story is obvious to everyone, right?

Angela lied that she had to go home for some reason and couldn't go to the lottery together

The lady then took out $300 and gave it to Angela first

During this period Angela's talent acting is also crucial

After the successful deception, Roy asked Angela to return the money

He only promised to teach Angela a trick to make his daughter happy

But not to let her really cheat

Angela is reluctant but he knows her father's heart

Angela's intrusion into Roy's life had changed him forever.

He felt fulfilled, satisfied, even proud, and had a confidence he hadn't had in a long time.

He would get excited in front of Dr. Clay

He would talk about all kinds of trivia about Angela.

Facing the cashier he had been in love with for a long time

Roy also finally had the courage to shake hands with each other

Looking at the fridge that Angela had cluttered up

His OCD didn't kick in

Instead, he looked at it with a happy smile

Angela is like a panacea that keeps changing Roy

He even had the idea of washing his hands of his life

But Chuck the ticket he still have to do to finish

During this time he and Frank also went to the airport

He and Frank went to the airport to rehearse the key switch in the plan

Roy was bowling with Angela the day after.

Suddenly received a call from Frank Chuck's schedule has changed

If we don't act today, we'll have to wait until a month from now.

And in a month's time, God knows if Chuck will still fall for it.

Roy had no choice but to go immediately.

But he didn't have time to send Angela home.

Plus the temporary help he found couldn't come now

So he had to take Angela with him.

Then Roy went to the bank to take out the pounds he had already cashed in the safe deposit box.

Angela also followed Roy

During the procedure, Roy saw Angela's envious face

So he added Angela as the second user of the safe deposit box

But the password was still only known to Roy

Then Roy took a lot of pounds out of the safe

immediately took Angela to the airport

On the way, Roy repeatedly explained to Angela what she needed to do at that time

After making sure Angela fully understood, the two parted in the parking lot of the airport

Roy met with the two and switched seats with Chuck on the grounds of back pain

Then began the transaction after both sides to determine the amount is correct

happily finished the transaction at this time Roy coughed

Angela, who got the signal, started the show

She deliberately clashed with the staff of the airport bar

Attracted the attention of everyone in the neighborhood, including Chuck

While Roy quickly dropped the case with the pounds

and the case they had already prepared.

After the show, Chuck was unaware that the case had been swapped.

He happily said goodbye to the two men with the swapped suitcase

Just in case Roy asked Frank to send Chuck on board

So that he wouldn't have time to check the suitcase.

Roy left quickly through the back door with the pounds and dollars.

But just as he got to the parking lot.

But just as he got to the parking lot and was about to leave with Angela, Chuck came out of nowhere.

He found himself cheated before boarding the plane and hit and smashed Roy's car

But Roy stepped on the gas and got away from Chuck.

He escaped from the parking lot with Angela

The premature exposure of the scam put Angela in danger

All because Frank was lazy and didn't put Chuck on the plane

This made Roy very angry. The good news is that their deal was illegal in the first place.

Roy guessed that Ezekiel wouldn't dare to call the police.

And neither he nor Frank had any previous convictions. Chuck couldn't find them.

However, what Roy didn't expect was

Angela had had a run-in with the police for stealing, thus leaving a history

This means that Chak is likely to follow the trail to find them

This made Roy completely furious and for Angela's safety

He rudely kicked Angela out and stressed no contact in the future.

Angela was also very aggrieved when she left she took out the cartoon cigarette ashes she bought for Roy at the airport convenience store

To Roy bought a cartoon ashtray into the car

Seeing Angela so kind-hearted Roy's heart instantly softened

Wanted to stay Angela but Angela left without looking back

After this incident, Roy went back to his previous decadent

His life was plagued by OCD.

But Dr. Clay was away on vacation and he couldn't get the medicine to relieve his symptoms.

He had no choice but to go out and buy medicine for his discomfort.

But according to the pharmacist's identification

It was not a new drug for mental illness.

It was a nutritional supplement for women going through menopause.

A few days later, Dr. Clay returned from vacation.

Roy ran over to him and asked him what was going on.

Dr. Clay said that he had guessed from observation that Roy was a fraud

He was not an antique dealer at all.

The root of Roy's illness was the guilt that constantly tormented him

He had developed a mental illness that did not require medication

He advised Roy to change his career and talk to his daughter about his illness and he would be cured.

Roy had already thought about changing his career.

After Dr. Clay's words, he made up his mind and asked Angela out.

He confessed his decision to change his career.

He also called a lawyer in hopes of obtaining joint custody of Angela.

Roy's efforts on his behalf touched Angela's heart

After the father-daughter relationship was resolved

Roy went back to the happy times with Angela

His obsessive-compulsive disorder was cured, just as Dr. Clay said it would be.

One day after Roy took Angela home from a night out

Chuck shows up with Frank at gunpoint.

Turns out Chuck had targeted Angela from the airport convenience store surveillance.

That's when Angela went to buy a cartoon ashtray.

And then through a police officer friend inquiry learned that Angela has a criminal record

He followed the trail to his ex-wife's place.

And from the unsuspecting ex-wife, he found out where Roy lived.

Now Chuck wants his money back first.

He told Roy to leave Angela to get the money

And he also told Roy and Frank

In the future, every time the profit is shared half of their own money

If you don't do it, wait for Angela to go to jail

At this time to get the money Angela but took out the ceramic dog in the pistol

The scene suddenly became tense

During the argument, Angela shot Chuck and wounded him.

Chuck fell to the ground and looked like he could not be taught.

Roy hurriedly asked Frank to take Angela and leave.

He then met up at the agreed upon hotel.

If he didn't make it, Frank would send Angela home.

Roy was ready to take the blame for Angela if things went bad.

Roy was ready to take the blame for Angela if things went bad.

After the two men left, Roy returned to prepare to dispose of the body.

But Chuck's body was gone, and when he was surprised

Roy was suddenly attacked from behind and knocked out

When he woke up he was already lying in a hospital bed

And there were two police officers guarding the place the police told him Chuck was dead

Roy didn't even think about it and said he shot Chuck.

But the fingerprints the cops took from the gun were small.

By comparison, they were Angela's prints.

Roy was asked to explain the whereabouts of Angela and Frank.

Roy heard this and asked to see Dr. Clay or he wouldn't say anything

Roy didn't really want to talk about it.

Instead, he secretly gave Dr. Clay the combination to the safe.

He told him to call the hotel where Roy and Frank had agreed to meet.

He told him to call the hotel where Roy and Frank had agreed to meet and give the combination to Angela, and he would leave his entire savings to Angela.

After the doctor left, Roy drifted off to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time Roy woke up covered in sweat

The ward was empty so Roy got up and tried to get the staff to turn on the air conditioning

But when he opened the door of the ward, he found that it was not a hospital room at all

It was just a room on the roof of a building and he had been tricked

Reacting, Roy rushed to Dr. Clay's office

The ceramic dog had long been empty and the cash in it had been raided

Frank also left a letter to Roy, the master

Crosstalk Frank joined forces with Dr. Chuck at the beginning

The fake police officer who interrogated him played a game

The partnership took all the savings in Frank's safe deposit box

This makes Roy almost collapse but at this time he is thinking of Angela

But when he found his ex-wife, she didn't know any Angela.

She had a miscarriage shortly after the divorce.

Angela was never his daughter, just a pawn of Frank's.

A year later Roy became a carpet salesman.

One day he ran into Angela, who had come with her boyfriend to buy a carpet.

He did not reveal Angela in front of his boyfriend

A year has passed and Roy has changed. He doesn't resent Angela.

And he didn't want to know Angela's real name

For Roy, the happy times he had with [Angela] will always be in his memory.

will always be in his memory

Now Roy has lost all his savings

But he has a life of peace.

He has a happy family with the cashier he has loved for a long time

The illnesses that plagued him in the past have disappeared and his real child is about to be born.

This is the end of the story
