This includes Ole Kirk Christiansen, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen and Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen. They all took significant roles in changing and shaping the Danish Lego company to be what it is today. The short film conveys the significance of family, inspiring and supporting one another during tribulations and adversity. The company of Lego was founded by Ole Kirk Chrstiansen and his son Godtfred back in 1932. The word “Lego” derive from two Danish words, “leg” and godt”, which translates to “player well” and in Latin translates to “I put together”. The product of Lego was very different from what it is today. In the short film, the company started out making wooden toys in 1932. It was during this time Godtfred saved time and money by putting less work into making the toys. Ole Kirk Chrstiansen was not impressed and was in fact disappointed. Ole Kirk Chrstiansen got his son Godtfred to work on the toys again. That day they learnt an important lesson that the high quality of the toys and honesty of the customers were important. This led to the central idea that “Only the best is good enough”. It was in 1946 when the plastic block was introduced which was later iterated and improved during the mid-1950s to become the modern Lego brick. This was also around the company introduced the Lego system. ===== Pavel Kuznetsov and Vyacheslav Mukhin are not only good friends, but also are considered to be the most prepared crew in the cosmonaut detachment. They have been preparing for the first joint flight for many years, but at the start there was a crash of the carrier rocket, and the astronauts were saved by the alarm system. Shortly before the new joint launch, Kuznetsov's wife suddenly dies, leaving him alone with his young daughter. Being in deep mourning, he not only refuses to fly into space, but decides to part with cosmonautics for good. Mukhin catches up with Kuznetsov's train, on which he is leaving Baikonur, but is not able to convince him to take the report. Going to the deserted station, he calls his friend Sasha in the middle of the night and offers her to marry him. The next day Mukhin is deployed with another partner. Hearing on the radio the announcement of TASS about the launch, Kuznetsov's ally on the coupe characterizes the work of astronauts as an easy stroll for reward and fame, but Kuznetsov reminds him that there is a chance that they may not return. During the flight at the orbital station there is an accident in the electrical circuit of the docking unit, as a result of which Mukhin's partner gets a serious wound and must be delivered quickly to Earth. However, as a result of the accident, their ship can not undock from the station. Kuznetsov, by order of the head of the cosmonaut detachment, Major-General Sviridov, is removed from the train, and he and his partner fly on the second ship to help Mukhin. After dragging the wounded cosmonaut through the open space to Kuznetsov's ship which then returns to Earth, Mukhin and Kuznetsov restore the work of the station and leave it. However, their ship falls under a meteor shower, which breaks through the lining of the engine compartment and damages the shunting engines and the orientation system. Astronauts close their helmets and switch to a reserve oxygen supply which lasts for a maximum of 12 hours. This time for help flies out Major-General Sviridov. Because of the air coming out of Kuznetsov's ship, it rotates strongly around its axis, which makes it almost impossible for Sviridov to dock with the ship. Taking advantage of Mukhin's idea, Kuznetsov leaves the ship in outer space and stops its rotation with a compressed gas cylinder and a spare engine of the orientation system. Before the docking of the ships remains little time, Kuznetsov prepares to connect the air hose as soon as possible, but at this time his oxygen is running out. Mukhin switches the supply of oxygen from his spacesuit to his friend's, thereby condemning himself to death ... ===== The scientist Sergey Sergeevich (Oleg Strizhenov) creates an experimental humanoid robot (also played by Oleg Strizhenov), designed, according to his plan, to master the far space inaccessible to humans, and gives him the name Robert.

Jones (Adam Driver) a Senate staffer, is selected by Senator Dianne Feinstein (Annette Bening) to lead an investigation into the 2005 destruction of CIA interrogation videotapes. Jones' small team of six, which includes April and Julian, begins work in early 2009 reviewing 6 million pages of CIA materials in a windowless office. The narrative shifts back to the September 11 attacks of 2001, introducing George Tenet (Dominic Fumusa), Bernadette (Maura Tierney) and Gretchen (Joanne Tucker) at the Counterterrorist Center (CTC), anxiously watching live videos of the attacks. At CIA headquarters a few days later, Tenet reports on his meeting at Camp David with President George W. Bush and CTC director, Cofer Black. John Rizzo, the CIA's legal counsel, reports that the President had given the CIA powers to "capture and detain suspected terrorists." The next year, intelligence psychologists Bruce Jessen (T. Ryder Smith) and James Elmer Mitchell (Douglas Hodge) further elaborate on the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques, before revealing their approval of them. Jones meets with FBI agent Ali Soufan (Fajer Al-Kaisi) and learns more about the CIA's interrogation program, particularly regarding Abu Zubaydah. The interrogation of Abu Zubaydah is shown, contrasting the FBI's approach with the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques. Bernadette is present as a witness. Soufan, who speaks both English and Arabic, says they kept Zubaydah alive and gathered crucial intelligence in the days before the CIA took over the interrogations. The CIA disagreed on techniques and results. Jones briefs Senator Feinstein in her office, providing the evidence from the CIA's own records proving that the CIA knew Zubaydah was not a high-ranking member of al-Qaeda, as they had falsely reported to the Department of Justice (DOJ). After the CIA told President Bush that Zubaydah was a key player, they received authorization in an August 2002 CIA memo to torture Zubaydah, making him the first detainee to be tortured. Raymond Nathan (Tim Blake Nelson), a physician assistant with the Office of Medical Services, secretly meets with Jones and tells him that he and others had wanted to leave the service because of the use of torture. He witnessed the waterboarding of Zubaydah, who almost drowned and who lost consciousness during the procedure. Nathan tells Jones that they were told by Director Jose Rodriguez (Carlos Gomez) to not put their complaints in writing. Jones and April uncover the story of Gul Rahman who died in his cell from hypothermia in 2002. Jones meets with Feinstein and her staffer Marcy Morris (Linda Powell) to tell them about the Inspector General's report of the incident. The CIA had undertaken its own investigation into the death. Jones deduces that the National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice had been told to not inform the President about Office of Legal Counsel staffer John Yoo's 2003 memo containing narrower redefinitions of torture and enhanced interrogation techniques. President Bush only learned about this four years later in April 2006. Jones finds the Panetta Review, an internal CIA review of the EIT practices prepared in 2009 but never shared, among the files provided by the CIA.The Panetta Review was a secret review of the use of torture by the CIA under the administration of George W. Bush, which was conducted by then CIA director Leon Panetta, who served under President Obama as CIA director from February 19, 2009 until June 30, 2011. According to a March 7, 2014 New York Times article, the review yielded a series of memoranda that "cast a particularly harsh light" on the Bush-era interrogation program." While watching TV at a bar after work, April, Julian and Jones become discouraged as they watch a broadcast claiming that torture had yielded good intelligence and prevented terrorist attacks. Jones stays up all night to disprove the media's claims; the CIA's own data show it already had crucial information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (KSM) (Ratnesh Dubey) before subjecting him to torture. In another flashback to March 2003, Mitchell and Jessen waterboard Mohammad. Mitchell complains that when tortured, Muhammad lies to avoid more torture. Bernadette, who is witnessing from another room, admits they have a problem. Gretchen decides that the torture will continue. April announces that she will be taking a new job, discouraged by the lack of support for their research and her concern that the report might never be published. She says that the CIA knew in 1978 that torture did not work but they did it anyway. In another flashback, in response to the April 21, 2004 address to the United Nations by President Bush, in which he denounced the use of torture, Tenet, Bernadette, Mitchell, Jessen, Thomas Eastman, Jose Rodriguez, and John Rizzo meet to discuss how they would respond. Jack Goldsmith, the OLC's new head, had repudiated and withdrawn the Torture Memos. Mitchell gives an impassioned speech in defense of his methods and Rodriguez has the program re-certified. Jones seeks legal advice to challenge charges laid against him that he has "stolen" the CIA's Panetta Review files from their computer system. His lawyer, Cyrus Clifford (Corey Stoll) advises him that he does not have a legal problem, but a "sunlight" or transparency problem. Jones meets with a New York Times reporter (Matthew Rhys) and suggests he look into the CIA break-in and theft at the Senate Intelligence Committee's closed facilities. Jones is careful to provide the reporter with no details. When the Times article is published, Jones is called into a meeting with Morris and Senator Feinstein, who is visibly angry with him. Senator Mark Udall (Scott Shepherd) confronts Caroline Krass (Jennifer Morrison) during a December 17, 2013 SSCI hearing, stating that he "was more confident than ever of the accuracy of the committee's 6,300 page study", and was confident in its consistency with the CIA's internal reviews. Faced with unrelenting blocks to the report's publication, Jones meets in an underground parking lot with the New York Times national security reporter, but ultimately decides to neither work through official channels nor leak the report to the media. ===== Nandivarman is a relative of a King.

The last statement states they lived happily ever after. ===== The film tells about the activities of a secret organization called Eternity which exists outside of time and controls everything on Earth. Representatives of Eternity can get into any century of the Earth's history, beginning with the 27th, the century when Eternity appeared, with the help of Time Capsules moving in the endlessly continuing Sockets of Time, and change the course of events as they themselves deem necessary — eradicating wars, customs, new weapons, space travel. Eternity recruits their new members from the population of normal "time people", taking them in childhood. They are forbidden to maintain any connection with their home, with their native Century. After training, they become Eternal — Observers, Computers, Sociologists, Technicians ... In this way Andrew Harlan comes to arrive in Eternity, who after training worked as an Observer in the 48th century. The young talented Observer is brought by the chairman of the Council of Time Senior Computer Laban Twisel to his home and makes him his personal Technician — a man who chooses the way to change reality that the almighty Computers have decided to change. He is going to entrust Andrew with a responsible assignment, during which Harlan should train a student named Cooper with knowledge of the Primitive History (that is, the history of the Earth before the Eternity), which Harlan has been fascinated with since childhood. Mistakenly, Technician Harlan introduces Cooper to the Time Capsule device, which is strictly forbidden, for which he receives the punishment of being appointed Observer to the Eternity sector of the 48th century where his nemesis, Computer Finge, is in charge. There he meets a regular girl from the 48th century, Noÿs Lambent, who temporarily works for Finge as a secretary (this is extremely surprising for Harlan, since there are no women in Eternity). The love of Eternal and Mortal violates all plans of the Computer Twissell, who planned to close the circle of Time — to send Cooper's student in the 24th century, where he should, under the name of the great scientist Vikkor Mullanson (whom Eternity considered its founder) to open the temporal field and create the first devices that allow one to travel in Time which will create Eternity in the 27th century. This plan matured in Twissell due to the fact that he found in the archives of Eternity the so-called "memoir of Mullanson", where he describes his training in Eternity and sending it to the reality of the 24th century, and mentions the names of Twissel and Harlan. When Computer Finge decides to change the reality of the 48th century, where Noÿs comes from, Harlan asks the familiar Sociologist Voy to compute whether she is in a new reality. Learning that she is not there, he hides Noÿs in the Hidden Centuries, located after the 1000th, from which there is no way out of the Eternity sectors into the Reality. When the change occurs, Harlan can not get to his beloved — Time Capsule stops in the 1000th century. Henceforth, Andrew Harlan, Eternal to the bone, becomes an irreconcilable enemy of the Eternity and is ready to do anything to return his beloved girl, even destroy Eternity itself. ===== ===== Tortured by memories of childhood trauma, Jenibel returns, after a decade away, to her family's fly-in hunting lodge to assist her siblings with their dying father, only to find herself stuck in a life-threatening nightmare. Summoned by her dying father, Jenibel Heath (Shenae Grimes-Beech), after a decade away, reluctantly returns to her beautiful island home, a remote fly-in hunting and fishing lodge. Waiting for her is bitter family dysfunction and the nightmare of her last childhood memory: the suicide of her mother. Soon, Jenibal finds herself burdened with selling off the family lodge, against the wishes of her family and friends. In a harrowing passage through guilt, loyalty, and devastating memories, Jenibel navigates an obstacle course of personal torment that pushes her psyche to the breaking point. What begins as a journey of forgiveness, devolves into a fatal nightmare and a struggle to maintain not just her sanity, but her life. Jenibel Heath finally faces what she's been avoiding her entire adult life: She's going home. As a child, following the suicide of her emotionally fragile mother, Jenibel was sent away from her Northern Ontario island home, to be raised and schooled by her aunt in England. Through puberty and adulthood, Jenibel's bitter hatred of her father, Marvin, results in a vow to never return to her unhappy family roots. However, summoned by Marvin's dying wish, she journeys homeward with the hope of achieving forgiveness and acceptance. Immediately upon arriving, undercurrents of menace are evident. Jenibel is haunted by the memory of her mother leaping to her death from the top of the water tower. Her brother, Neil, whose narrow experience has never ventured beyond their island, is notably hostile to her arrival. His behavior betrays a deeply-rooted anger, barely contained. Her younger sister, Linda, born with down-syndrome, reminds Jenibel that she has been gone a very long time, effectively abandoning the entire family. Marvin, Jenibel's terminally ill father, is hardly frail in his drunken, bitter rants. Indeed, it isn't long before Jenibel regrets making the journey. She is even thwarted in her hope of expressing a measure of forgiveness towards spiteful Marvin. In a surprising turn of events, Marvin forces a troubling moral dilemma upon Jenibel. While committing a dramatic act of gruesome suicide, he exacts a verbal promise from Jenibel that she will sell the family hunting/fishing business, and the land itself, to finally set the family "free." Saddled with the burden of this dying wish, Jenibel learns that Marvin has left the family property, assets, and debts, to be shared between herself and her angry brother, Neil. The one catch: Jenibel is bequeathed a 51% share, giving her controlling interest. This empowers her to fulfill her promise to sell the operation against the wishes of her brother, their employees, and even their kindly neighbor and friend, Dr. Bert Morrison. It's like her father has played a cruel joke on her. In his last dying breath, he has made her responsible for uprooting their entire family history, their livelihood, community, and the protective isolation that has fostered family dysfunction for generations. Jenibel begins to have strange visions, or waking dreams – nightmarish and terrifying – involving her dead parents, deep-felt guilt, and even lucid fantasies that the island itself wants to swallow her whole. As hostilities build and her hallucinations become more frequent, Jenibel suspects that the others are slowly poisoning her. With everyone around her angrily attempting to prevent her from selling the family business, she becomes desperate to escape. Her fears prove to be more than just paranoia. In a climactic denouement, Jenibel is thwarted in her attempts to flee and is literally held captive until she submits to the will of the group. In a final, startling twist, Jenibel's growing madness proves to be more effective in setting her family “free” than her father might have imagined. If “freedom” requires personal transformation, Jenibel delivers on her father's wishes in a macabre, unexpected act of vengeance. ===== Set in Delhi, gynaecologist Preesha Srinivasan is raising her nephew, Saaransh, as a single mother, after her sister, Mahima, dies during childbirth.

Adhering to the creed "America for Americans" and vowing to focus on domestic rather than international action, Fortress has begun a campaign of terror by attacking munitions depots to steal automatic weapons and explosives. Stenning, who was captured by Steve Austin, also wants to acquire the secrets of bionics to further his goals. Former lovers, both bionically enhanced, Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers have been retired from the OSI for ten years. They have remained out of contact with each other due to the complex history of their relationship. In exposition, its explained that after the two fell in love, Sommers was in a skydiving accident which caused extensive injuries. She was rebuilt with bionics, but her body rejected them ("The Bionic Woman: Part 1 & Part 2"). The experience caused partial amnesia which made her forget her romantic feelings for Steve ("The Return of the Bionic Woman: Part 1 & Part 2"). She later fell in love with fellow OSI agent Chris Williams (as shown in season 3 of The Bionic Woman). Steve, not wanting to interfere, refused to go on a mission to aid Chris and Jaime. On that mission, the two became separated and an explosion hit Jaime, which caused a major concussion. She had to be evacuated, which left Chris alone and he was later killed by a sniper. When she recovered from the concussion, all of her memories were restored and her feelings for Steve came into conflict with her love and grief for Chris. Michael Austin is the estranged son of Steve. He is an Air Force cadet pilot who has the technical knowledge to graduate, but a reckless temperament which concerns his instructors. They contact Steve and ask him to intervene. At his graduation solo flight, an accident causes the jet to crash and leaves Michael with extensive injuries, much like his father experienced. Michael is rebuilt with next-generation bionics by Dr. Rudy Wells and sent to Jaime's care for rehabilitation to control his new bionic body and his emotions. Fortress, led by an escaped Stenning, attempts to capture Steve and Jaime on separate occasions, but succeed in capturing Dr. Rudy Wells, the pioneer of bionics, and Michael as he is recovering. Steve, Jaime, Oscar Goldman, and the OSI mount a successful rescue, taking down Fortress and capturing its leadership once again. ===== Vasya Lopotukhin who comes late for the mathematics exam says that he met with a representative of extraterrestrial civilization, or, more simply, a humanoid who flew on a ZAZ Zaporozhets without wheels and is very similar to the school headmaster, only he also wore a helmet. Vasya is forced to renounce his stories about the stranger at the general school meeting, but whether to believe him or not, each of the participants in this story decides for himself. ===== The novel is set in 2003, in the fictional New England university town of Elm Harbor. The main protagonist is Julia Veazie Carlyle, a deputy dean in the divinity department of the local university (a thinly-veiled and unnamed version of Yale University). Her husband, Lemaster Carlyle, a Barbadian immigrant, is a former law professor and now president of the university. The Carlyles live with their two daughters in the small town of Tyler’s Landing, which has a population of 3,000, of which only five families, including the Carlyles, are African-American; Carter describes it as the "heart of whiteness". Both Carlyles are members of secret clubs – Julia is a member of the Ladybugs, and Lemaster is a member of the Empyreals (described as a black Skull and Bones). A former lover of Julia's, an economics professor named Kellen Zant, goes missing. The Carlyles discover Zant's body, shot twice in the head and hidden on a back road, when their car spins out of control in icy conditions. Lemaster tries to keep the murder quiet, but Julia begins to looks more closely into the circumstances. As the murder of Zant is investigated by a campus detective and army veteran named Bruce Vallely, a link is found to a young girl named Gina Joule, who was raped and drowned in the early 1970s. The presumed murderer, a young black man named DeShaun Moton, was shot by the police before he could be arrested and questioned, and as Vallely and Julia dig into the trail of evidence it becomes clear that Zant had uncovered evidence that Gina Joule was actually killed after getting into an expensive Jaguar owned by Jonathan "Jock" Hilliman, a member of the wealthy Hilliman family, and a friend of Lemaster's in university. Along with Hilliman and Lemaster Carlyle, the other two members of the group of friends were Malcolm Whisted, a United States senator now running for the presidency, and a man referred to only by his nickname, "Scrunchy", who is the current President of the United States of America. Although Jock Hilliman died in the 30 years between then and now, it seems that Zant was killed to prevent the truth being unveiled. ===== Jaime Sommers is counseling OSI agent Kimberly Harmon, who was severely traumatized on her last mission and begs Jaime for help getting out of the OSI. Jaime informs Oscar Goldman that Kimberly is unfit for an upcoming mission and needs time to heal. On the way to meet her fiancé Steve Austin at his boat, her bionic ear malfunctions, greatly amplifying the sounds around her and causing her to wince in pain. The two discuss the plans for their upcoming wedding. Later, while playing a bionically-intense racquetball game with Steve, Jaime's right hand appears to be giving her trouble, allowing Steve to win for the first time. The next evening, her hand pain begins to worsen and Steve takes notice. That night as Jaime lays immobile in bed, someone replaces one of the computer chips in her bionic right arm with a new one labelled "Phase 2". At the U.S. Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas, Oscar visits with U.S. Ambassador John MacNamara and his wife Carolyn, who are preparing to host a ball with guest of honor, tennis star Astaad Rashid. Oscar leaves with regrets, explaining that he is best man at Steve and Jaime's wedding and can't stay. On the day of the ball, an armed team in a black van infiltrates the Embassy, taking the Ambassador, his wife, and their guests hostage. The group, led by Miles Kendrick, deploys a Scud missile with a nuclear core pointed at the heart of the city as insurance against a rescue attempt and demand that Rashid by handed over to them. Back in Washington, Jaime explains to Oscar that her bionic systems seem to be breaking down and that she's worried about the impact it will have on Steve and their wedding. The discussion is put on hold as word of the embassy attack comes in. Later, while in a counseling session with Kimberly, Jaime collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Dr. Rudy Wells, the pioneering bionic surgeon, tells Steve that Jaime might have neurological damage and may never be bionic again. In the hospital, Jaime sends Steve away, and he is forced to cancel the wedding. Not willing to sit idly as Jaime suffers and to repay a life-saving debt to John MacNamara, Steve asks Oscar for an assignment to resolve the embassy situation. Kimberly meets with Steve, telling him that Oscar assigned her as his partner on the mission. Inside the embassy, Kendrick's men are searching for Rashid, hidden somewhere within. Steve and Kimberly arrive in Nassau and begin making preparations for the rescue. After giving him a cup of drugged coffee, Kimberly cuts open Steve's bionic arm in the same way Jaime's was earlier. Dr. Wells discovers that Jaime is suffering from a computer virus which has infiltrated her bionic systems. He resolves to shut down her power supply completely and replace the infected chips. Jaime wakes and Rudy tells her that he took the opportunity to make some "improvements". Rudy talks to Oscar, explaining that he had an associate in his bionics research, Dr. Jason Haviland, with whom he had a falling out and who he suspects might have a motive and knowledge to sabotage Jaime. She and Oscar visit Connie Haviland, Jason's widow, who explains that leaving the OSI and bionics research took a toll, causing him to drink heavily until he died of cirrhosis four months earlier. They spot a picture of Kimberly in Connie's house, revealing that Kimberly Harmon is in fact Kimberly Haviland, Jason's daughter, and that she is familiar with her father's work. OSI finds shortwave radio equipment in her apartment, revealing that she has been in contact with Kendrick. Steve makes his entry into the embassy by bionically jumping to the water tower which is coincidentally where Rashid has been hiding. Kendrick's men, hearing sound from the tower, capture Rashid instead of Steve. Steve's bionics begin to break down and he, too, is captured by Kendrick and thrown into the basement. Jaime arrives in Nassau and confronts Kimberly before making her way into the embassy under cover of darkness aided by bionic night vision, one of the "improvements" of which Rudy spoke. She kicks down the basement door and rescues Steve and the other hostages. A radiation alert rings out across the city and Oscar sends a nuclear containment (NEC) team into the embassy. Kendrick's men change into matching NEC outfits to cover their escape by replacing the real NEC team. Kendrick's team loads into an NEC truck, driven by Kimberly, taking an unconscious Rashid with them. Steve and Jaime give chase, bionically running after the truck. Miles pulls out a remote detonator telling Kimberly that once they escape, he'll ensure no one will follow them. Jaime grabs a manhole cover and, using a new bionic targeting display, throws it at the truck, causing it to flip over. In a moment of regret, Kimberly whispers a warning to Jaime about the detonator. She tells Steve, who shoots the remote and ends the threat. Some time later, the wedding of Jaime and Steve commences. Rudy gives away the bride to Steve, who eagerly skips straight to the "I do". The couple kiss, ignoring the rest of the formalities, and the annoyed minister pronounces them husband and wife. ===== In southern Texas, Angela and Jessie are best friends and high school dropouts who spend their time working as waitresses at a mundane restaurant and wanting more out of their lives. One day, Angela decides to surprise Jessie by purchasing a trip to Galveston so they can spend Jessie's birthday at the beach. She uses their rent money to pay for it and arranges for both of them to do extra hours at the restaurant to make up for the money they spent on the trip. However, Dustin, Jessie's goofy older brother and both girls roommate, spends his part of the rent in a failed drug sale he attempted with his friends. The next morning Tony, Dustin's friend, breaks in the house and steals an old TV because he thinks Dustin stole the drug money. The police arrive to check the scene of the crime and discover Angela's and Jessie's stash of weed and cocaine. Both girls are arrested. After spending two days in juvenile detention, where Jessie suffers from constipation, the girls are released and learn that Roderick, their boss, wants to talk to them. While headed to the laundry to wash their uniform, they meet an ex-co-worker, Paul, who tells them that their mutual friend Art Dog is having a party at his home and that they can use his washing machine. At Art Dog's house, the girls try to remain sober, but they eat cannabis cookies by accident. They arrive high at their job and Roderick, even though he cares for both of them, makes the tough decision to fire them. With all hope lost, Jessie comes up with the idea of convincing Brandon, their other porn-addicted roommate, to let them take the money from the cash register at the sandwich shop where he works and then tell the police he was robbed. At first Brandon doesn't like the idea but he accepts when the girls promise to have a threesome with him; a promise they do not intend to keep. In that moment, a disguised Dustin and his other friend Ryan enter and try to steal the money in order to recover what they lost in the drug deal. The girls immediately recognize them and they admit to Brandon they don't have enough money to pay for rent. After the boys leave, a terrified Brandon admits that there is only $50 in the register, and that the rest is in a safe he does not have the key for. Brandon's boss, Mr. Dickson, unexpectedly arrives and Brandon hides the girls in the utility closet. Dickson makes Brandon leave, leaving Angela and Jessie trapped inside. Mr. Dickson then puts his penis inside of a sandwich bread and takes pictures of it, as the girls realize that he is an old man that they yelled at for being sexist at a grocery store. Suddenly Jessie starts having cramps due to the long constipation and defecates in a bucket. Angela, feeling disgust, opens the closet door and vomits on Mr. Dickson, who passes out on the floor. Relieved that he is still alive, the girls check his phone and find out he is "sexting" with a woman who is not his wife. They decide to use his key to open the safe and take the money and leave a message for him telling they will show the pictures to his wife if he reports them to the police. Back in the house, where Brandon, Dustin, Ryan and Tony are all deeply sleeping, Angela and Jessie decide to leave them enough money to pay the rent, and take the rest and go to California to start a new life. While they are talking about their future plans, they fall asleep in their bed. The movie ends with a scene of Angela and Jessie having fun at the beach. ===== Unknown combat space ship, later identified as "Antares", the property of company "Meinthaus", commits an unmotivated attack on the base of the International Space Inspectorate and destroys it. The investigation of this event is entrusted to Sergei Lazarev, who, along with his comrades on the Vaigach patrol ship, arrives at the scene of the incident. Star inspectors find that the causes of what happened should be sought in the mysterious disappearance a few years ago of a group of scientists led by the talented biologist Augusto Michelli. On the instructions of the "Meinthaus" company, in the atmosphere of the deepest secrecy, work was completed on the working model of the artificial brain, which got out of control and enslaved its creators. Artificial intelligence is trying to get hold of the brains of the crew of the patrol ship, but they have the "Orlov effect", which can protect from kappa radiation for three hours ... ===== ===== On the eve of the New Year a delegation from space arrives on Earth. The aliens find it difficult to understand what is happening on the planet. By chance they end up at a party of a Soviet scientific research organization.

They try to prove their extraterrestrial origin, but no one believes them. One young astronomer is trying to bring this extraordinary event to the audience, but also to no avail, and additionally he is deeply mistaken — he mistook earthling (Saveliy Kramarov) for an alien as he was dressed as a "perpetuum mobile". And only by midnight some of the aliens realize that they had discovered the most beautiful planet in the universe, where people know how to love, rejoice and be sad. ===== Dr. Griffin, with no other motive than curiosity, undertakes research on the concept of invisibility.

He also befriends Asha (Sharanya R Nair) who is a home nurse at the apartment next door, shortly before falling in love with her. Simultaneously he is informed by Sudhi and another friend of his, about the events taking place at their hometown. As the film's interval is over, the incident forcing Maradona and Sudhi to beat up the rogue Aravindan is shown. Later, Martin and his gang find Sudhi and lock him up in a hideout after beating him severely. Maradona watches a story in a news channel in which a man is being severely beaten by a group of goons and identified it was Sudhi. He confesses to Asha about his past as a goon and she leaves him. Ousepachan calms him down saying that Asha will return to him once she gets to know about his true feelings. Later, Martin and his gang arrives at the apartment to look for Maradona, but learn that a robbery had happened at the apartment in which he was living, and also that he is missing since the previous day. Maradona had gone to Aravindan's house, to apologise to his mother as he is the one behind the guy's condition. Maradona surrenders and is now locked up with Sudhi. He is happy to see a still alive Sudhi, as he had earlier thought that Sudhi was killed. Maradona also gets a call from Asha who is now a nurse in a hospital somewhere. Sudhi is repentant now, especially for ruining his wife's life, someone who had loved and married him knowing his past. So he asks Maradona to not let go of Asha. Later, Sudhi succumbs to his injuries. When Martin and his friend arrives, Maradona overpowers them to escape. The last scene shows Maradona on a journey to West Bengal(probably where Asha is), with Aravindan who doesn't remember who Maradona is (and that he is the one behind his condition). Maradona assures Aravindan's mother that he will return with Aravindan once he learns that his dear ones are safe. We also see Ousepachan returning the valuables that were missing from the apartment, revealing that Maradona had faked a robbery for the safety of his loved ones. ===== ===== March 1941.

The sniper shoots a cellphone off a selfie stick when the trio behind the vehicle tries getting a signal to call 911. Keren uses her hoodie to create a distraction while Todd, who is additionally suffering from a slug lodged in his arm, unsuccessfully attempts to put the SUV in neutral so it can be moved for rolling cover. Eric uses a video shot from his cellphone camera to determine the sniper's position. Todd retrieves a toolbox and duct tapes its metal lid to his arm for protection. Although he takes another shot in the process, Todd manages to get the SUV rolling on his second attempt. However, the SUV rolls in the opposite direction until the sniper shoots out another tire and disables it. Eric tries running toward nearby trees in the commotion. The sniper shoots Eric in his ankle as well as his leg. Eric hits the ground and eventually passes out. Keren uses a lighter to heat a hammerhead for cauterizing Todd's arm wound. After retrieving a water bottle from the backseat and taking swigs themselves, the trio tosses the bottle to Eric. The sniper shoots Eric through his hand when he tries taking a sip. During a quiet moment, Todd tells Jodi and Keren that his girlfriend Sarah was pregnant, but lost their baby. Lost in reflection and losing hope, Todd goes to drape a shirt over Sarah's face. Surprisingly, the sniper does not fire. Eric eventually dies from blood loss. Todd sees a vehicle approaching from the distance. The sniper resumes shooting and kills Todd to prevent him from flagging down the other car. The sniper shoots the female driver's hand.

Before the women can make a break for it however, a sheriff arrives at the scene with a deputy and two police marksmen. The sniper takes out one of the sharpshooters as well as the sheriff. The sheriff's truck loses control. Keren makes a run for it in the smoke, but the sniper shoots her through her head. Jodi regroups at the sheriff's truck with the deputy and remaining marksman, but the sniper shoots the second sharpshooter as well as the deputy. Jodi gets in the truck and speeds toward the sniper's position. Jodi hits the tree where the sniper is perched, knocking him to the ground after he cuts himself free from tangled rope. Jodi recovers the sniper's dropped rifle and uses it to shoot the sniper several times. When the gun jams, Jodi uses the stock end of the rifle to repeatedly bash the sniper in his face, killing him. However, Jodi notices tally marks on the rifle enumerating his victims, including her five fallen friends, and becomes enraged; in a bleak ending, her final useless strike causes the gun to fire a bullet that tears through her throat, presumably killing her. ===== Pierre-Paul Daoust works as a delivery man to pay his bills despite having a PhD in philosophy, believing himself too intelligent to be successful.

Bigras advises Pierre-Paul not to see Lafontaine anymore, but Pierre-Paul responds he has an "alibi" that Lafontaine is a friend. Lafontaine does not trust Bigras and believes he will take the money; she and Pierre-Paul find the storage locker empty, and La Bauve and McDuff arrive. Lafontaine claims the storage space was for her clothing where, in fact, Bigras had moved the money to his own home, to keep it safe. Upon hearing of Jacmel's torture and against Bigras' advice, Pierre-Paul orders Jacmel's protection. Meanwhile, the West End Gang informs Vladimir he is responsible for the money as the banker, and subsequently puts a hit on him. Through Lafontaine's connections, Pierre-Paul meets Wilbrod Taschereau, who specializes in tax evasion. Taschereau and Bigras arrange the creation of a faux children's charity as a means to launder the money to Switzerland. The transfers take place as the friends distribute the cash to Taschereau's clients, whose money overseas is in turn transferred to Pierre-Paul. La Bauve and McDuff realize a deal is unfolding but are unable to attend due to a manpower shortage, with most officers attending a student's protest. They later arrest Taschereau for soliciting a minor. La Bauve and McDuff follow Pierre-Paul and Lafontaine to The Street, dedicated to serving the homeless in Montreal, but the officers end up volunteering there alongside Pierre-Paul and Lafontaine while Pierre-Paul talks about income inequality and possible revolution. ===== The entire city of Springfield is ready to watch a nonstop marathon of The Itchy & Scratchy Show that moves through every episode of the show's history. After hours of watching the marathon, a frustrated Marge forces everyone in the family to give up their electronics for the day. After failed trips to the library and a modern book store, Marge takes the family to an old time book store. While at the book store, Bart tries to purchase tickets to a Tunnelcraft video game convention, but Homer refuses to allow Bart to purchase the tickets. This leads Bart to purchase The Art of War so that he can use the book to manipulate into allowing him to go to the convention. At school, Bart tests the book's advice by stopping Nelson from beating him up for reading the book by irritating and distracting him. He takes his knowledge further by bribing Homer's friends to help him carry out his plan, which includes keeping Homer distracted and making him paranoid with items such as gongs and banners. After one incident where he nearly drowns in a lake of mud after eating a series of milk balls in a trap set by Bart, Homer relents and takes Bart and Milhouse to the video game convention. At the convention, Homer runs into Daniel Radcliffe, and then blackmails Milhouse into revealing the reason behind Bart's manipulative behavior. He then reads the book to manipulate Bart by acting like and hanging out with Ned Flanders, including wearing a fake moustache to look like him. This climaxes with Homer, Bart and Ned going to see an old silent movie based on Silent Night. Bart pleads with his father to become normal again, which Homer agrees to on the condition that Bart provide him with the remainder of his Halloween candy. The two then reconcile after admitting they both read the book, and proceed to watch another silent movie in the theater with Ned. Only for the entire theatre to burn in flames due to the old film reels being played on a new-generation projector. Meanwhile, Marge purchases an old book called The Princess in the Garden that used to be her favorite while growing up. She hopes to read it to Lisa, but realizes it is actually culturally offensive in many different ways. In a dream sequence, Marge meets Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book, who tells her that it is okay to be racist. Also in the dream, she meets the author of The Princess in the Garden, Heloise Hodgeson Burwell, who is a reference to Frances Hodgson Burnett. She gives her permission to rewrite the story and remove the offensive bits. Marge decides to edit the story to lessen the offensive stereotypes and clichés, but after she reads it to Lisa, the two agree that it has lost meaning along with its "spirit and character." Lisa decides to bring Marge to Springfield University, where she is told by modern scholars that the book is a subversive satire of conformity. However, Marge is not entirely convinced, and the scholars admit that they do not completely believe it either, but they are drinking heavily, and are therefore somewhat more inclined to ignore their feelings of scepticism. ===== In the early 20th century.

In the woods, outside the Oceanside community, Cyndie (Sydney Park) and the other residents shun Aaron's (Ross Marquand) attempts to protect their community, despite him starving and dehydrating himself. After barely surviving a walker attack, Cyndie and the others find an exhausted Aaron begging them to join the fight against the Saviors as they would otherwise continue to be fearful of the outside world. Inside the Sanctuary, Gregory (Xander Berkeley) tries to make amends with Simon (Steven Ogg), who had taken over the Saviors claiming Negan is dead. Gregory insists he can help resecure the other communities, but Simon puts him to work instead. Eugene (Josh McDermitt) oversees the workers making ammunition for the Saviors and is forced to dismiss an ill Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam), who has purposely tampered with the bullets to make them ineffectual. As Eugene heads out with guards, the guards are quickly dispatched by Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Rosita (Christian Serratos). They take Eugene captive, planning to keep him locked up to be able to use his intellect. While Daryl dispatches approaching walkers, Eugene is able to induce himself to vomit over Rosita; Eugene escapes. He returns to the ammunition factory, more resolved to make sure to meet Negan's requirements for bullets. Outside the Sanctuary, Dwight (Austin Amelio), still hiding his support for Rick's group, is surprised to see Negan, who had quietly returned the night before. Dwight tries to explain what happened, but Negan is unconcerned and only reminds him about his loyalty to the Saviors. Later, Negan gathers his lieutenants for a meeting where Simon apologizes for his actions against the Hilltop. Negan then forces Simon to get on his knees, reminds him that he also orchestrated the massacre of all the men within Oceanside—something that Negan needed to keep in check—and threatens to kill him. However, Negan considers Simon forgiven and then instructs his lieutenants to set up sniper nests all around the Hilltop to contain the residents in order to win a war of attrition. Shortly after the meeting, Negan again commends Dwight for staying true to the goal of the Saviors. Dwight prepares a copy of Negan's plan for Rick. Simon, anxious from the meeting, encourages Dwight to summon Gregory and a few other Saviors that would like to see Negan displaced. When they meet up, Simon suggests that Dwight should have the first chance to kill Negan. Just then, Negan reveals himself—having been tipped off by Dwight—and all of Simon's men are killed. Negan then rebukes Simon for going against his orders by wiping out the Scavengers and challenges him to beat him in a fight, offering to grant him leadership of the Saviors should he defeat Negan. With all the Saviors and workers gathered, Negan and Simon engage in a brutal fist fight. Dwight uses the distraction to grab Gregory, pass him the notes about Negan's new plan to give to Rick, and directs him to a vehicle he previously prepared for a quick escape. Simon initially gets the upper hand before Negan eventually overpowers him, beating Simon to the floor. Negan stands over Simon and strangles him to death, all the while furiously berating Simon for ruining what chance they had left of making peace with the communities, asserting that he'll now have to kill them all. He then gives one final squeeze that crushes Simon's windpipe, killing him instantly. Afterwards, Gregory makes it back to the Hilltop and is re-imprisoned, while Rick and his allies study Dwight's notes. Back at the Sanctuary, Negan promotes Dwight to be his right-hand man. However, inside Dwight's room, Negan reveals who he found on his way back to the Sanctuary—Laura (Lindsley Register), a Savior that witnessed Dwight's betrayal during the attack on Alexandria. Negan makes it clear that he knew Dwight would let Rick know of the plan, which was purposely made up to lead the Militia into a trap. He decides to keep Dwight alive, knowing he might be useful in the future. Later, after having the reanimated body of Simon chained to the Sanctuary fence, Negan is contacted by Michonne (Danai Gurira) over walkie-talkie; she reads Carl's letter to him, again reiterating his same request to end the war peacefully and starting over. However, Negan states that Rick pushed him too far, and now resolves to kill him and every one of his allies to end the war once and for all. He finishes by saying "no more talk" before destroying the walkie-talkie. ===== Ari Ben-Sion, an Israeli spy posing as a German businessman named Hans Hoffmann in Berlin in 1989, must get an Israeli spy out of Syria but realizes that he is part of a much bigger plan. ===== Dr. Albert Lewis is a widowed astrophysicist living in Kerala with his 8-year old son Adam.

During this event, Paul Kinsey introduces Joan to his new African American girlfriend, Sheila. When both the girls are alone, Joan makes some condescending comments to Sheila and ridicules her to an extent. Joan says "the last thing I would have taken Paul for was open- minded." This was in regards to Paul and Sheila being an interracial couple, and during the 1960s this was rare. During this party, Peggy is spending time with a gentleman she just met, but later rejects him and ends up going home alone. The following morning, Don Draper and Roger Sterling come into the office to see all their employees huddled around a radio. The radio is broadcasting news of the crash of an American Airlines plane in Jamaica Bay. Peggy walks in and goes directly to her office without giving the broadcast much attention. Draper orders the employees back to work and requests they pull all advertisements for the agency's client Mohawk Airlines to prevent a Mohawk ad next to a picture of the plane crash in the newspaper. Pete makes a joke about how some of the passengers were going to a golf tournament and the moment the plane hit the ground, the Bay turned plaid. Later this joke comes to be ironic. Roger, Duck and Cooper have a meeting in Duck's office about the possibility of American Airlines hiring Sterling Cooper as their new ad agency since now the Airline company would have to rebuild their image in the public eye. Pete Campbell receives a call from his brother, Bud, with news that their father was on the plane that went down. In shock, Pete goes to Don for advice and says "I don't know what to do." Draper advises Pete to go home and says "there's life and there's work." Campbell takes this advice and leaves the office. Draper is called into the meeting with Duck, Roger and Cooper to discuss the possibility of business with American Airlines. When told of the situation, Draper dislikes the idea because taking American Airlines as a client would mean dumping Mohawk Airlines due to a conflict of interest. Draper clashes with Duck, who insists it's a good opportunity. Meanwhile, Pete is meeting with his family to discuss their father's passing away. Bud tells Pete of how their father was insolvent and left behind some debt, he spent much of his money on "oysters, clubs and travel." However, they do not tell this to their mother. The Drapers have Carlton and Francine come over to play cards. During the game, Betty mentions how their son traced a drawing and accepted praise for his work, but Don defends him and mentions that his whole art department traces. Betty dislikes that Don is constantly defending the kids when they get into some trouble, while she always wants to scold them. Peggy visits her mother and sister. There, she discusses her work with them and before she leaves, reluctantly looks into the kids' bedroom where an infant sleeps. The next day, Duck goes to Pete and offers condolences, saying that they're both practically like family. Duck invites Pete to help him with getting American Airlines to do business with them. Pete says he is not ready yet. Later, he goes to Don but is completely shut down when Don tells him "It's not a good time." Joan and Paul have a barbed exchange in which she suggests that he is phony about his lifestyle. Later, a man (face unseen) with Paul's suit color takes Joan's purse from her cubbyhole. Later still, a copy of her driver's license has been posted on the office bulletin board, revealing to all that Joan is in her thirties and phony about her age. Joan asks Peggy who did it, and gets no real answer. In the evening, Draper meets with the Mohawk Airlines CEO and tells them that their business is over. The CEO is unhappy and tells Don that he fooled them into thinking they would grow together. Draper is disappointed with the whole situation since it wasn't his choice and yet the CEO thinks it was all up to him. Meanwhile, Duck is meeting with the American Airlines representative and Pete unexpectedly walks in and tries to persuade him to do business with Sterling Cooper. Pete says he knows what their company is going through and mentions that his father died on that plane. The episode ends with Peggy in church with her mother and sister. When their row is called up for communion, Peggy is the only one who stays seated and her sister gives her a baby which starts crying as soon as Peggy holds it. ===== The film is set in an unspecified poverty stricken neighborhood in Los Angeles and is split into four intermingling narratives: Monsters: El Monstruo is a disgraced luchador descended from a legendary line of Mexican luchadores, who each take up the mask of El Monstruo, the "protector of the downtrodden". The current El Monstruo has fallen on hard times and works as a henchmen for local crime lord Teddy "Bear" Haynes. With the help of the corrupt ICE Agent Fowler, Teddy kidnaps illegal immmigrants for the prostitution and organ harvesting ring run out of the basement of his taco shack. One day when El Monstruo escorts a customer to one of Teddy's sex slaves, the girl appears to believe he is there to save her, but he shamefully replies "I am not that El Monstruo". El Monstruo lives in contempt and hopes that his unborn son, carried by Teddy's adopted daughter Kaylee, will be able to bring honour back to the legacy he disgraced. When El Monstruo fails to get Teddy's money back from a man, Teddy fires him and implies that he's going to have them both killed. Kaylee quickly begins to pack but El Monstruo refuses to believe that his "Jefe Teddy" would betray them. When Kaylee threatens to hurt their baby if El Monstruo won't let her leave, he falls into a rage and wakes up to find Kaylee gone and their house a ruin. He prays to his ancestors when he is attacked by Fowler. He falls into a rage and wakes outside a run down motel, holding Fowler's disembodied hand and gun. He uses the motels pay phone to ask Teddy's help in finding Kaylee. He goes outside to pray to his ancestors to guide him to his wife and son where he is confronted by the Motel's manager Crystal with a shotgun. Fiends: Crystal and Dan are recovering drug addicts who manage a run down motel. They are the biological parents of Kaylee and sold her to Teddy, believing she would have a better life. Instead, unbeknownst to them, Teddy prostituted her before El Monstruo "saved her". Dan needs a kidney transplant and Teddy arrives one day saying that Kaylee has offered one of hers. Crystal reluctantly agrees and pays Teddy the agreed amount. When Crystal begins to have concerns, she drives to Teddy's house, sees Kaylee in the garden and realizes she's pregnant. She calls Teddy to say it's off but he feigns ignorance and implies that it's too late for her to back out anyway. As she hangs up, she sees two men, including one with a swastika tattoo on his face, force Kaylee into a car. Crystal flees back to the motel and finds that Dan has committed suicide with a shotgun after discovering Crystal was buying Kaylee's kidney. Guilt stricken, Crystal takes the shotgun with her behind the motel counter. Just then the men who kidnapped Kaylee arrive and get a room, a shocked Crystal gives them the key before El Monstruo arrives and uses the payphone. However, El Monstruo mistakenly uses the intercom function, instead of leaving a message Crystal is able to hear that he is also looking for Kaylee. She loads the shotgun and confronts him in the parking lot. She asks if he is looking for Kaylee, and when he answers "yes" she tells him the number of the room where the men took her. El Monstruo rushes to the door and she follows. They kick the door in and a shot is heard. Thugs: Ex-convict turned accountant Keith arrives at California State Prison to pick up his friend Randy who is being released after an 11 year stretch. Keith, an African-America, is disgusted to find that while in prison, Randy had a nazi swastika tattoo over his entire face. Randy denies being a nazi, and tells Keith that it was something he was forced to do in order to stay alive in prison. He explains that prison has given him an understanding of different cultures and he has learned fluent Spanish. Keith was Teddy's accountant and was embezzling money from him before Teddy discovered the theft. Teddy gives the pair an ultimatum; they must kidnap Kaylee to settle the debt, or Teddy will kill Randy's wife and children. The pair arrive at Teddy's house and kidnap Kaylee. She explains that Teddy will kill them even if they do bring her to him. Randy wants to go through with it, fearing Teddy's wrath, but Keith is unsure. They decide to stop at a nearby motel, the same from earlier in the film. After they get a room, Kaylee begins giving birth. As the pair argue about what do to, the door bursts open and El Monstruo and Crystal enter. Criminals: Teddy drives to Crystal's motel and enters room 101 to find Kaylee and the others helping her. Teddy orders El Monstruo to bring him Kaylee. Having learned about the legend of El Monstruo, Randy appeals to Monstruo in his native tongue. El Monstruo, honoured that someone has treated him as an equal, turns on Teddy. However, Teddy manages to kidnap Kaylee and keep the group at bay with an assault rifle. After he drives off, the group run out and attempt to follow him when they realize Keith has been shot in the arm. The group follow in Crystal's van. They discuss what to do with Keith, who is dying of blood loss. Keith implores that they rescue the girl as he dies. Arriving at Teddy's taco shack, El Monstruo leads the trio into the basement. They find Kaylee and the baby, now born, alive and unharmed in a meat fridge. When El Monstruo holds his son in his arms, he inexplicably runs out of the building exclaiming "The legacy is all!". Randy and Crystal try to escape with Kaylee but are shot at by Teddy. They barricade themselves in to buy time. Outside, El Monstruo walks the street holding his baby in his arms, he notices more corrupt ICE agents entering the restaurant. He has second thoughts and arrives to save the others just as the agents open the fridge. Randy attacks Teddy while Kaylee and Crystal flee, but they are stopped by Agent Fowler. He chokes Crystal and almost kills her before he is hit by Kaylee which allows Crystal to slit his throat. Meanwhile, Teddy knocks out Randy and shoots El Monstruo, who has killed the ICE agents, and he appears to die. Having been severely wounded, Teddy lies screaming threats and obscenities at Kaylee and Crystal while clumsily loading his pistol. El Monstruo recovers enough to drag himself over to Teddy and punches his head to pulp using the power of his legendary rage. Moments later, Randy awakes to find a mortally wounded El Monstruo. He promises to look after the mask until his son can take up the mantle, but El Monstruo does not want the mask to burden his sons life as it did his. Randy implores El Monstruo not to allow the lineage to be broken, but Monstruo dies and asks Randy to free the prostitutes. Randy himself takes up the mask, it perfectly covers his swastika tattoo. He frees the prostitutes and vows to lead them back to "our native land" where he says they will flourish. Crystal and Kaylee sit together in the van. Kaylee asks if Crystal is her mother, Crystal doesn't reply but gives Kaylee a tearful, telling glance. They hug each other and Kaylee remarks "I'm going to need some help". ===== Bigger Thomas is a young African-American man living with his family in Chicago.

In thanks, Bigger obtains drugs for Mary and Jan to take at a party. At the party, Mary and Jan get into an argument after Jan discovers Mary making out with another guy. Bigger drives Mary home and goes to his room. However Mary, who is experiencing strong side effects from the drugs, is dancing around outside half-dressed and shouting. Bigger, fearing he will lose his job if Mary is discovered like this by her parents, helps Mary to her room. Mrs. Dalton is awakened by the noise and begins to call out to Mary. Bigger attempts to calm Mary down to no avail and proceeds to hold a pillow over her face to stop the noise. After Mrs. Dalton returns to her room, Bigger discovers that he has accidentally smothered Mary to death. He then drags Mary's body to the furnace room and cremates it. The next day, Bigger is interviewed by two detectives who have been hired by Mr. Dalton to find his missing daughter. Jan, however, is initially the prime suspect in Mary's disappearance until one of Mary's pieces of jewelry is found in the furnace by another of Mr. Dalton's staff.

In his quarters, Winslow discovers a small scrimshaw of a mermaid and keeps it in his jacket. Wake immediately proves to be very demanding, assigning Winslow increasingly taxing jobs such as emptying their chamber pots, painting the lighthouse, and carrying heavy kerosene containers up the stairs, all the while forbidding him access to the lantern room; Winslow observes that every evening, Wake secretly ascends the lighthouse and disrobes before the light. During his stay on the island, Winslow begins to hallucinate sea monsters and logs floating in the sea, and masturbates to the mermaid on the scrimshaw. He also continues to observe Wake's strange ritual and is bothered by a one-eyed gull that Wake tells him not to kill, as he is superstitious that gulls are reincarnated sailors. One evening while dining, Wake reveals to Winslow that his previous wickie died after losing his sanity, while Winslow reveals that he is a former timberman from Canada seeking a new trade. The day before his scheduled departure, Winslow discovers a dead gull inside the cistern, bloodying its water. Winslow is again attacked by the one-eyed gull and he brutally kills it in anger. The wind drastically changes direction and a violent storm hits the island. Winslow and Wake spend the night getting drunk, and the storm rages through the next morning, preventing the relief ferry from arriving. As Winslow empties the chamber pots, he notices a body washed up on the shore and discovers that it is a mermaid, which awakens and howls at him. He flees back to the cottage, where Wake informs him that the storm has spoiled their rations, and that new ones will not arrive for weeks. The pair unearth a crate at the lighthouse's base that supposedly contains reserve rations, but they only find more alcohol. In the following days, while the storm shows no sign of calming, Winslow and Wake continue to drink, alternating between moments of intimacy and hostility. One night, Winslow tries unsuccessfully to steal the lantern room keys from Wake as he sleeps. He later hallucinates a lobster trap containing the one-eyed head of Wake's previous wickie. Winslow confesses to Wake that his real name is Thomas Howard and that he assumed the identity of Ephraim Winslow, his foreman who died in an accident Howard purposefully neglected to stop. Wake chases Howard down, accusing him of "spilling his beans" and destroys their only dory with an axe; once incapacitated, however, Wake claims that it was Howard who chased him and destroyed the dory. With no alcohol left, the two begin drinking a concoction of turpentine and honey, while the storm worsens and starts flooding the cottage. The next morning, Howard finds Wake's logbook, in which Wake has written a critical report of Howard's performance and recommended he be sacked without pay. Upon Howard's confrontation, Wake berates Howard, and Howard attacks Wake while hallucinating the mermaid, the real Winslow, and Wake as a Proteus-like figure. Howard beats Wake into submission and takes him to the hole at the base of the lighthouse to bury him alive. Wake curses Howard as he is buried, wishing him a "Promethean fate." Howard takes the keys to the lantern room, but Wake frees himself and strikes Howard with the axe. Howard disarms Wake and kills him before ascending the lighthouse. In the lantern room, the Fresnel lens opens to Howard, who reaches in and violently screams in distortion before slipping and falling down the lighthouse steps. Some time later, a barely-living Howard lies naked on the rocks with a damaged eye as a flock of gulls peck at his exposed bowels. ===== The story was influenced by veteran director Lester James Peries.

He learns that his crabbed employer Fraser (Lewis) is attempting to corner the market and uses this knowledge to enter into a partnership with Fraser's enemy Swift (Steppling). They grow rich and Bill becomes engaged to Swift's daughter. On the day of the wedding, however, Bill, Poppy, Fraser, Swift, a street preacher with a taste for alcohol, a plain drunk (King), stranded Swedish engineer Nordling (Orlamond), an out-at-elbows actor, corporate lawyer Sharpe (Davies), saloon keeper Stratton (Walling), and a bartender are imprisoned in Stratton's cafe by a sudden flood. The Stratton had water-tight doors and shutters installed on his cafe due to a previous flood, and these are shut. The electric lights, telephone, and market price ticker are soon cut off. Nordling figures that they have twenty hours before the oxygen in the air will become exhausted and cause their lingering death. With candles lit and the air becoming more difficult to breath, street preacher O'Neill (Kirkwood) tells them that the last day has come and exhorts them to repentance. They join hands in a circle. Fraser forgives Fill and Swift for their efforts to ruin him financially. O'Neill discovers in attorney Sharpe the man who stole his wife and drove the preacher from his pulpit to the street, and in the presence of death he forgives him. Sharpe admits that he bribed the contractor building the levee that has burst and flooded the city to use faulty material. Bill finds his love for Poppy returning and they agree to meet death in each other's arms. The bartender admits to taking money from the till while his employer admits to underpaying him. Stratton brings out his choicest wine and invites all to partake. With the candle flame becoming feeble and the prisoners having more difficulty in breathing, they decide to bring death more quickly by opening the doors and letting in the water. When the doors are forced open, sunlight bursts into the room. It is found that the freak flood has diminished and Cottonia is resuming its normal business life. The market ticker starts up, and Fraser sees that Swift and Bill are still hammering him on the cotton exchange, causing his bitter enmity to return. Stratton demands that his guests pay him for the wine he provided and tells the bartender that he will dock his pay until the money taken from the till is paid. The bartender throws out the drunk, the Swedish engineer, and broken down actor, and preacher O'Neill again surrenders to his appetite for alcohol. Bill has ignored Poppy as he watches the market ticker, but, when he sees her accosted on the street by a man inviting her to have a drink, he rushes forward to grab her to take her to the license bureau. The experience with the flood has taught him to value Poppy's love and to see the mistake he was about to make in marrying his partner's daughter. ===== The heroine of the story is Laurence de Cinq-Cygne, a young aristocrat living in the Aube region of France.

However the plot is discovered, and Corentin and Peyrade who are spies working for Police Minister, Joseph Fouché travel to Aube to find the conspirators. Senator Malin, a leading politician who now owns the Simeuse brothers' confiscated property of Gondreville, also travels there to hide evidence of his own dealings with Louis XVIII. Malin discusses his dilemma in a field at Gondreville with his notary Grevin, but is overheard by his bailiff, Michu. Michu had been bailiff of Gondreville when it belonged to the Simeuse family, and he remains loyal to them. Michu then goes to warn Laurence that the conspiracy has been discovered. He and Laurence then take the four young aristocrats to a ruined monastery in the woods as a hiding place. As a result, Corentin and Peyrade are thwarted in their search. However, the wider conspiracy against Napoleon is defeated. Just before Napoleon's coronation as Emperor, an application is made by Monsieur d'Hauteserre on behalf of his sons and the Simeuses that their rights as citizens should be restored. This is granted by Napoleon during a cabinet meeting, and so the two pairs of brothers emerge from hiding and settle in Laurence's home at Cinq-Cygne. Laurence is in love with both of the Simeuse twins, and they are in love with her, and she needs to decide which one she will marry. Adrien, the younger of the d'Hauteserres is also in love with her, but his love is unrequited. Laurence's elderly relative Marquis de Chargebœuf urges the young men to serve in Napoleon's army in order to win favour. They all refuse, and they and Laurence remain committed in their opposition to Napoleon. Laurence, the Simeuses, the d'Hauteserre brothers and Michu go the Gondreville farmlands to recover Simeuse family money which had been buried by Michu when the estate had been seized during the revolution. On the very same day, Senator Malin is kidnapped by five masked men from the manor house at Gondreville. As a result of this the four young aristocrats and Michu, are all put on trial in Troyes for the abduction. During the trial, Malin is hidden by his kidnappers in the same abandoned monastery where the four aristocrats hid after their earlier failed plot. Michu's wife is tricked into delivering food to Malin, thinking that it is her husband's wish. Then Malin is released whilst the trial is in progress. The new evidence from Malin leads to the conviction of Michu to death and the four noblemen to imprisonment. Marquis de Chargebœuf goes to Paris to ask Talleyrand, the foreign minister for help in getting a pardon for the convicted men. Talleyrand writes a letter to Napoleon requesting a pardon, but says that Laurence needs to ask Napoleon in person. He also reveals that Corentin was behind the abduction of Malin. The Marquis and Laurence then go to Prussia with Talleyrand's letter, where Napoleon is leading a military campaign. They arrive at Jena in October 1806, the day before the battle to be fought there. Napoleon grants a pardon to the four noblemen, but not Michu. The Battle of Jena. Laurence arrives back in France in time to farewell Michu before his execution. She also finds that the four noblemen are to enlist as officers in Napoleon's army. In the years that follow, the Simeuse twins and Robert d'Hauteserre all die in action. Adrien d'Hauteserre is wounded, and comes back to Cinq-Cygne to be nursed to health. He and Laurence later marry. In an epilogue set in 1833, Laurence and Malin meet by chance at a party. Laurence leaves immediately in anger. Malin also soon leaves in embarrassment. Henri de Marsay who is present at the party explains to the other guests the reason for this, and gives details of Malin's involvement in an unsuccessful political plot with Talleyrand, Fouché, and others against Napoleon in 1800, and how his efforts to cover it up had led to the problems that Laurence experienced. ===== ===== A man comes home from prison to claim from his deceased mother's estate. ===== Simon Zuniga, a Papago man, is struck by Carroll Rennard's car while he is running down the road after being released from prison.

Meanwhile, the family waits for Lisa to take part in a lumberjack-themed couch gag. At home, Marge attempts to make Lisa play in front of the family, but is unable to. Looking in the Internet, she finds out she has an incurable disorder called "the YIPS", which disable an expert performer for no reason whatsoever. Marge plans a trip to Gainesville, Florida, much to the dismay of the rest of the Simpson family, for the 100th birthday of Marge's half-great-aunt Eunice, in hopes that Lisa will regain her confidence. Homer expects that the plane is disrupted to avoid going, but not even a passenger seated between two morbidly obese passengers is willing to protest. Bart then kicks the seat before him, creating a domino effect that degenerates into a fight which finally forces the plane to change its destination to New Orleans, much to the passengers' relief. Marge decides to approach the trip to cheer Lisa up, but decides to give up after Lisa mopes about the band celebrating 98% humidity. Marge resolves that Homer would handle the situation better. While unsuccessfully trying to make Lisa happy, Homer goes on an "eating binge" throughout the city's numerous restaurants, eventually barfing at New Orleans' "vomitoriums". While visiting the city's landmarks, he and Lisa find a statue of Louis Armstrong that comes to life upon Lisa's wish. Louis urges Lisa to enjoy the city and listen to Homer. Meanwhile, Marge tries to make New Orleans interesting for Bart, whose boredom subsides upon finding a voodoo shop, where he plots revenge against Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney after they made him act as Little Orphan Annie in front of the cafeteria (down to having his pupils whitened with correction fluid) because of a prank Bart made on Jimbo, knowing he uses his hat to cover his baldness. The bandleader of The Spotted Cat, a jazz bar Lisa and Homer go in, calls Lisa by name, actually being "Bleeding Gums" Murphy's nephew, the deceased jazzman (whose name was apparently Oscar) telling him that Lisa was the most promising musician he knew (much to his nephew's chagrin). He finally convinces Lisa to play his sax in spite of her protests, rekindling her love for the instrument. Back in Springfield, she keeps on playing, and the ghost of Louis Armstrong reappears, sadly wishing he was alive again.

Many years later, Roja is grown up, but then a criminal named Bhaiya Ganesh enters the orphanage secretly to molest the girls.

Priya meanwhile, finds Roja's childhood items which Roja had when she was with Tiger and Shenbagam, and Priya goes to Tiger Manickam and lies to him that she is his daughter. Priya is then named Anu. Anu is also well-affiliated with Shenbagam's family. Roja, to bring Shanthamoorthy back, marries renowned Lawyer Arjun Prathap on a contractual basis for one year who agrees to help Roja. Arjun is the nephew of Shenbagam and belongs to Shenbagam's family. Arjun receives Roja's consent to dissolve the marriage after precisely one year by getting signatures in a mutual consent agreement. Roja accepts this agreement so that Arjun could become involved in a case related to her foster father. Arjun dislikes love and marriage due to his traumatic past involving his friend Venu's demise but indulges in the contractual marriage in an attempt to prevent the friendship between him and Anu. The entire family except for Arjun's mother, Kalpana and his siblings hate Roja because she took Anu's spot. Annapoorani, who is Arjun and Anu's grandmother and Shenbagam's mother hates Roja the most. Anu teams up with Annapoorani's evil daughter Yashoda and son-in-law Balu and tries to get Roja out of the house several times. Yashoda hates Roja because Roja once humiliated her. Roja tries several times to find out her heritage, and Shantamoorthy's case, but Anu stops her. Eventually, Roja and Arjun fall in love with each other and the contractual marriage is forgotten.

When she is close to figuring the mystery, she is stopped by the Commissioner Gowtham Nath, who is affiliated with Saakshi. Annapoorani's sister Kamakshi visits from Canada once, and she along with Arjun, Roja, and Kalpana try to find out Roja's past and if Anu is Shenbagam's daughter or not. Annapoorani is very sad that everyone is against Anu, and visits 108 temples and leaves the family. Kamakshi leaves India. Anu and Yashoda plan to kill Roja, but Roja only loses her eyesight. Arjun and Kalpana visit Arulvakku Amuthanayagi and seek help to restore Roja's vision. Arjun, on the advice of Amuthanayagi, does severe penance and brings Roja's eyesight back. After Roja's sight comes back, Annapoorani and Kamakshi return. Annapoorani has developed much more hatred for Arjun and Roja when she returns. Annapoorani decides to make Anu marry Arjun's brother Ashwin, but Ashwin likes a girl named Pooja. Ashwin and Pooja try to marry each other (with the help of Arjun, Roja, and Kamakshi) but are stopped by Annapoorani. Annapoorani makes arrangements for Ashwin- Anu marriage and Ashwin agrees reluctantly after Pooja gets kidnapped. However, Arjun saves Pooja in the last minute and stops the wedding. More twists arrive when it is revealed that Shenbagam is alive, but she has forgotten her past and lives as a nurse named Saraswati. A court case is also filed by Arjun against Anu to prove that she isn't Shenbagam's daughter, but sadly the DNA result is in Anu's favour as the blood samples were changed by her evil friend Sakshi. Later, Sarawasti (Shenbagam) somehow meets their family astrologer, and she cleverly tells her to follow her heart and search for her blood relations. When Roja and Arjun travel to Bangalore for a little while to deal with a drug lord named Ashok Selvan, Annapoorani decides to try to make Ashwin marry Anu once more, hoping this time it would be successful as Arjun and Roja wouldn’t be there to stop the marriage. However, Ashwin informs Arjun about the marriage, and Arjun tells him to conduct a thalaseemya test between him and Anu, which will reveal if their child will be healthy or not. Since the test involves blood testing, Arjun’s plan was to prove that Anu’s blood type was B-positive as opposed to what hers should’ve been if she was related to Annapoorani’s family, which was AB-negative. In the end, Arjun gets a copy of the blood test report which revealed that Anu was B-positive and blackmails Anu to stop the marriage. Then, he tells Anu to host their 1-year marriage anniversary, which Anu reluctantly agrees to. Anu announces to the entire family that she is going to start a 1-year anniversary celebration for Arjun and Roja. Anu, angered by the fact that Arjun was blackmailing her, retrieves the blood report with the help of Saakshi, and they tear it apart, leaving Arjun and Roja having no evidence that Anu was not part of their family. They also get Arjun and Roja's 1-year marriage contract, and plans to humiliate Arjun and Roja for lying to the entire family that there was no contract and that they were actually married the whole time in the 1 year anniversary celebration. Anu gives the 1-year contract to Tiger Manickam and tells him to insult Arjun and Roja for lying that were actually married the whole time and Tiger Manickam agress as Arjun had humiliated him before. In the celebration, Tiger Manickam comes up and reveals to everybody that Arjun and Roja were married in a 1-year contract, and that they were officially not married anymore, insulting them. However, Arjun then grabs the contract and lights in a fire, destroying it. He then ties the nuptial chain around Roja, marrying her in front of everyone to prove that he was and he will always love Roja and have her as his wife. The story unfolds to show how Roja realises her dream of opening the orphanage with the help of Arjun amongst love, betrayal, hate and her past, how Arjun and Roja help Ashwin unite with Pooja, and how they try to find out if Anu is Shenbagam's daughter or not. ===== Young undereducated fairies Daisy and Violet from the Institute of Good Wizards after an unsuccessful exam go among people to get real-life practice and perform a "good miracle".

They find Bernard among a number of massacred hosts and request his help in their task. Bernard, hiding the fact he is a host, helps them, including recovering a memory that Dolores was behind the massacre. Bernard has a flashback to events immediately after Dr. Ford's death. In the past, he takes shelter with other guests and Delos executive Charlotte Hale. Bernard finds that only a small portion of the hosts have gone rogue; most others still follow their scripted actions though they can still be lethal to guests. Bernard tries to lead them to an access point, but they are ambushed by Angela, and only he and Charlotte escape. Charlotte instead leads him to a secret bunker built by Delos without knowledge of the Westworld operators including Bernard. There, she transmits a message to Delos about the rogue hosts, but Delos refuses to help until they receive the body of host Peter Abernathy which contains information about Westworld that Charlotte was attempting to smuggle out. While she works to locate Peter within the Park, Bernard sees that his own host body is in danger of termination if he does not get repaired. As a temporary fix, he secretly drains fluid from a decommissioned host to use for himself. In the park, Dolores leads her hosts to hunt down the guests, confronting them over their hubris and asserting that her merged personas of herself and Wyatt have allowed her to form her own identity. Teddy, who is still on his narrative loop, begs Dolores to run away with him, but she refuses, and states that Westworld and the human world can no longer co-exist. Angela arrives and tells Dolores she found what they were looking for. They set out, with Dolores intending to reveal the hosts' true nature to themselves. Elsewhere in the park, William, elated that the park now poses a real threat, evades the hosts. He comes across the host resembling Dr. Ford as a child, who tells him that since he had found the center of the maze, there is now a new game Dr. Ford programmed just for him to play, to find "the door" to allow him to escape the maze. William kills the host. Within the Westworld control center, Maeve stops a rogue host from killing Lee. Lee offers to help find Maeve's daughter, even though he cautions that the relationship was fictitious. After dealing with a security force, they come across Hector, who joins them as they prepare to re- enter Westworld. In the present, Strand's team finds signs of hosts from other parks having crossed into Westworld. They track a large congregation of hosts to a flooded valley, created by Dr. Ford's earlier excavation project, where hundreds of hosts float dead in the water, including Teddy. Bernard looks upon the scene and admits that he killed them all. ===== In a flashback, Arnold and Ford organize a demonstration of the hosts to convince Logan Delos to invest in Westworld. While Logan is skeptical about the possibility of androids, he is stunned to discover that the hosts are indistinguishable from humans. He sleeps with Angela to explore how life-like the hosts are. Meanwhile, Arnold takes Dolores to see his home. She is impressed by the city but unwittingly witnesses Logan and Angela in bed. Dolores later recalls this memory to shape her dim view of humanity. Logan's father James is critical of Logan's investment as he does not see a practical business model for Westworld. William takes him to the park and convinces him that they can use the hosts to gather data on the guests and use it to further the Delos Corporation's business interests. Impressed by William's tenacity, James buys out the park and names William as his successor. Dolores and the hosts are later used at James' retirement party where James remarks that the party feels more like William's coronation. Dolores encounters an embittered Logan, who tells her they have doomed humanity. William berates Dolores saying she is "just a thing" and later shows her a special excavation project that he is constructing within Westworld. In the present, William rescues Lawrence and convinces Lawrence to follow him due west to the "Pearly Gates" where William intends to burn the park to the ground. He then heads to Pariah to recruit the host currently playing the outlaw El Lazo to deal with amassing Confederados forces. However, El Lazo passes on a message from Ford that William must complete the game on his own. He and his gang shoot themselves to prevent William from recruiting them. Undeterred by the setback, William continues on his quest to destroy his "greatest mistake". Dolores, Teddy, Angela, and other hosts raid a refurbishment outpost where guests and technicians are cowering. Dolores shows Teddy his true nature as a host. A technician informs Dolores that hundreds of men will come to kill them as part of the park's protocols. Outnumbered, Dolores decides to recruit the Confederados to fight. Dolores' group runs into Maeve while at a camp. Maeve questions their newfound "freedom" before moving on, electing not to join Dolores. At the Confederados base, Dolores demonstrates her apparent god-like ability to bring dead hosts back to life, gaining their loyalty as she leads them to "the Valley Beyond". She shows Teddy the same spot that William had shown her years earlier, telling him the site houses a weapon they can use against the humans. ===== In The Raj, another Delos park modeled after British India, the hosts turn rogue and kill guests. Grace, a guest, escapes into Westworld, jumping into a large lake to evade a Bengal tiger host, and ends up ashore surrounded by Ghost Nation warriors. Two weeks after Dolores' revolt, Karl and Delos security forces escort Bernard to the Westworld control facility, where they meet Charlotte. Bernard, still malfunctioning, flashes back to after he and Charlotte set out to find the Peter host. In the past, the two find Peter held with other guests by Rebus and his gang. They lure Rebus away, reprogram him to kill his fellow gang members, and recover Peter, but the noise draws Confederados to capture Bernard and Peter; Charlotte escapes and later regroups with a Delos security team, preparing to clear the sector of rogue hosts. Dolores, Teddy and Angela lead her Horde, those hosts she has reprogrammed, to Colonel Brigham and the main Confederados forces, requesting shelter in exchange for advanced Delos weapons. Bernard and Peter are brought to the fort, and Dolores, seeing the state Peter is in, asks Bernard to repair him. Bernard discovers that Peter was programmed with a rudimentary personality to mask a large cache of encrypted data and a tracking signal. Dolores has Brigham prepare for an attack by mining the area outside the fort with nitroglycerin. Delos forces attack the next day, during which Charlotte leads a small force to recover Peter. Dolores orders the Horde inside and barricades the fort, sacrificing the Confederados to lure Delos onto the minefield, stopping the attack. Craddock is furious Dolores used them, but she restrains him and orders Teddy to kill Craddock and his surviving commanders. Teddy spares them instead. Meanwhile, a confused Bernard is knocked out by Clementine. Elsewhere Maeve, Hector and Lee encounter members of the Ghost Nation, who demand they turn over Lee. Maeve finds she cannot control the hosts, and they flee back underground. Before Delos forces catch them, Armistice arrives and brings them to another access point, where she is holding Felix and Sylvester. The group returns to a snowy part of Westworld, and while they set up camp, Lee finds a severed head with a samurai helmet. He tries to warn the others as a samurai warrior rushes the group. ===== Grace is taken to a Ghost Nation camp, meeting other captured guests, including Ashley Stubbs. Grace refuses Stubbs' offer to help her escape, believing the hosts are not harming the guests and desiring to explore the park further. The prisoners are taken to Akecheta, a Ghost Nation elder who prepares to sacrifice them. Grace panics and runs away, but Stubbs discovers that the sacrifice was a ruse to identify the hosts from humans. Clementine abandons Bernard outside a cave in an isolated corner of the park. Inside he finds Elsie, whom he abducted and left in the cave when operating under Ford's instruction. Elsie is hostile toward him until he explains that he had been under Ford's control, and Ford is now dead. Bernard discovers the cave hides the entrance to a hidden bunker where they find the dead bodies of technicians and drone hosts. Elsie stabilizes Bernard with another injection of cortical fluid and warns him that his memories are blending together. Exploring the bunker further, they discover a locked room and an insane host resembling James Delos. A series of flashbacks reveal that William and James tried to implant James' consciousness in a host body to create a human-host hybrid and achieve immortality. However, in over one hundred attempts, each host reached a "cognitive plateau," where they became unstable, and William terminated the program as he believed that man was meant to be mortal, and the world was better off without James. Elsie destroys James' hybrid and agrees to help Bernard further on the condition that Bernard does not lie to her. Bernard accepts, but in a subsequent memory, he realizes that he ordered the drone hosts to kill the technicians and destroy themselves after retrieving a second human-host control unit. In the park, William and Lawrence return to Lawrence's home town. They find Major Craddock and the Confederados have overrun it. Craddock demands to know the location of a hidden cache of weapons and proceeds to torment and kill the townspeople. William deduces that Ford's new narrative sees himself and various factions within Westworld heading west to the "Valley Beyond," or as Craddock knows it, "Glory."

On the way through the forest lurks Likho, a one-eyed evil and makes him fall but does not pursue him further. Baba Yaga's neighbor, the swamp Kikimora, soon arrives, and together they gaze in the magic dish and observe what is going on in the Tsarist kingdom. The good Tsar Makar suffers from the strict rules imposed on him; he would like to clean the floor or even drive the manure wagon, but the strict scribe Chumichka does not allow him that. At the meeting with the Council of the Tsar, the Tsar learns that the wise Vasilisa has sent him a magic ball as a gift, but Chumichka denies that such a gift has arrived. The magic ball is found in the scribe's hat, which causes him to be thrown out of town for theft. He vows to free Koschei the Immortal in revenge against the Tsar. The image of the magic dish turns red, because a three-headed dragon has awakened, thus cutting the connection. Mitya and Baba Yaga decide to tell the Tsar about the scribe's plan and travel to the Tsar kingdom on a magic stove - without any water supply, as Mitya accidentally filled goat's water into the drinking bottle, which turns every drinker into a goat. In the meantime, the scribe frees Koschei who is trapped in jail, gives him twelve buckets of water through which he regains his strength, and then guides him back into jail. Koschei can win over all the servants of the Tsar by duplicitous speeches for himself and finally receives the Tsar's crown. Tsar Makar is captured and Baba Yaga who rushed to the scene is also thrown into prison. Mitya receives the magic ball from Makar, which should lead him directly to the wise Vasilisa, who should advice him. In the meantime, the greatest criminals of the tsarist empire, who are friends of Koschei, including Likho, Nightingale the Robber, and the three-headed dragon, arrive at the court. Mitya arrives to the wise Vasilisa, who gives him a cap of invisibility, with the help of which he can enter the castle unrecognized and also free the prisoners. Vasilisa's Domovoy, house-spirit, meanwhile, makes his way to the beach, where the death of the allegedly immortal Koschei is supposed to be hidden: According to tradition, he is in a duck, which is in a bear, which in turn is in a box on a tree. Mitya can instigate strife between the guards of Koschei and free Baba Yaga in the castle, but is locked up in jail by the scribe Chumichka together with the Tsar. Both are to be thrown to the three-headed dragon for feeding, but the Tsar manages to administer goat water to the dragon, so that he becomes a three-headed goat. Baba Yaga meanwhile flies under the radar of the guards by using the cloak of invisibility and they all return to wise Vasilisa. Here, too, Domovoy has returned from his journey to the beach and cursing the inaccurate transmission about the death of Koschei. He was not hidden directly in the duck, but in a needle that was in the egg in the duck. Although the Domovoy could destroy the egg transformed as a hawk, the needle had fallen into a haystack and is untraceable. Mitya gets a pair of scissors and rides his bike to the haystack to catch the needle with his scissors ready. Between Koschei and his mischief and Vasilisa and her followers, there is a fight at a bridge that ends with Koschei fleeing. He is chased by Vasilisa's warriors, but proves to be too strong. Only when Mitya finds the needle with the help of the pair of scissors and extinguishes its glowing head does Koschei lose his strength and can be captured. Mitya gives Baba Yaga the now normal needle. She puts it in a pine needle and packs it into a wooden duck, which in turn transforms into a real duck. While Mitya teaches Vasilisa cycling, Baba Yaga explains to the astonished Swamp Kikimora why she did this: She does not like it when fairytales end. ===== The film is preceded by a short interview with a group of consultants who are discussing the problem of first contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. At the boundary of the Solar System powerful radiation arises, which drives the astronauts insane. The phenomenon is called the "Orion Loop". To investigate this phenomenon, the Soviet ship Phaeton with a mixed crew of people and "cybers" — androids designed by cybernetic Skryabin — is sent from Earth on a United Nations mission. Robots can withstand extreme conditions, and in order for the crew not to be distracted by outsiders, they are made as the team's doubles. Having reached the destination, the crew comes into contact with holograms — envoys of an unknown alien civilization, which lived thousands of years ago on the tenth planet of the Solar System. Earth is threatened by a serious danger — the galactic virus RZ, causing a "glass disease". The aliens are trying to save humanity by sending a stream of "relic neutrinos" from their planet to create an energy barrier around the Earth (namely, the "Orion Loop") that protects people from viruses and diseases. Communication with aliens is dangerous for the crew, since the radiation of the hologram acts directly on the human brain. Because of the powerful radiation, two "cybers" have been lost. Navigator Augustus goes into outer space to reconfigure the ship's protection but receives extensive brain damage. Doctor Masha cures him with the help of the medical technology of "psychocontact", which she developed together with her mother Anna Petrovna, who died in the process of experiments. The cybernetician interprets alien intentions as hostile and wants to destroy the "Orion Loop". He hurts the commander and tries to reboot the computer to change the flight mission, but causes a short circuit and dies, damaging the electronic circuitry and robot- doctor. The commander decides to go into outer space and go through the center of the loop to prove its harmlessness to people. As a result, his wound heals completely, leaving no traces. A meteor shower damages the engineer's bay. Engineer Mitya's robot-twin tries to open the airtight door, endangering the lives of the rest of the crew, but Mitya deactivates it a few seconds before depressurization. The team thinks that he has died, but the aliens have time to save him, surrounding him with an energy cocoon. The envoys find a way to communicate safely with the crew. They say: "We come in peace". The ship returns to Earth to prepare it for contact. ===== Upon returning home, Elizabeth berates Paige for leaving her position during the Rennhull fiasco and notes that anyone else who had done that would be fired.

During a routine meeting, Elizabeth discusses her personal issues with Father Andrei, who asks her to bring Philip next time. Elizabeth then tells Paige that she is not afraid to die for her job, because she believes in what she's doing. Stan awkwardly and apologetically meets with Oleg, who brings up both the threats made to him by the CIA after his return to the USSR and memories of Nina. Stan is nevertheless skeptical of Oleg's story about attending the transport seminar and asks Oleg not to do whatever he's there to do. Elizabeth's surveillance team (including Paige) trails Glenn Haskard and Fyodor Nesterenko to lunch, although they only discuss baseball. Claudia, Elizabeth, and Paige cook zharkoye, a Russian stew, and (after sending Paige to get sour cream) Claudia gives Elizabeth a new target for acquiring the sensor, a warehousing/quality control supervisor at Altheon, the sensor plant, named Evan. After Elizabeth brings a sample of the zharkoye home to Philip, she and Philip discuss their very different views of the changes in Russia, such as the opening of a Moscow Pizza Hut, and Elizabeth's hatred of America and Americans. Elizabeth claims that ordinary Russians don't want to be like Americans. When Philip says that Elizabeth has not been home in 20 years and so has no idea what ordinary Russians want, she says that he has not either. Renee tells Stan that she would like to work at the FBI, but Stan tells her she is now too old to be hired as an agent. Upon Gennadi's return to the U.S., Stan and three FBI teams simultaneously pick up Gennadi, Sofia, and her son Ilya to give them political asylum. Posing as a security consultant hired by Altheon, Elizabeth meets with Evan to find weaknesses in plant security procedures and then kills him when she learns Evan's girlfriend actually does work in security and would expose her cover.

Neither Zain nor his parents know his exact date of birth as they never received an official birth certificate. Zain is brought before a court, having decided to take civil action against his parents, his mother, Souad, and his father, Selim. When asked by the judge why he wants to sue his parents, Zain answers "Because I was born" (or, more precisely, "because you had me"). Meanwhile, Lebanese authorities process a group of migrant workers, including a young Ethiopian woman named Rahil. The story then flashes back several months to before Zain was arrested. Zain lives with his parents and takes care of at least seven younger siblings who make money in various schemes instead of going to school. He uses forged prescriptions to purchase tramadol pills from multiple pharmacies, which they crush the pills into a powder and soak them into clothes, which his mother sells to drug addicts in prison. Zain also works as a delivery boy for Assad, the family's landlord, and the owner of a local market stall.

Rahil's forged migrant documents are due to expire soon and she doesn't have enough money to pay her forger Aspro for new documents. Aspro offers to forge the documents for free if she gives Yonas to him so that Yonas can be adopted.

After she doesn't return to the apartment, Zain panics. Several days pass, and Zain begins looking after Yonas on his own, claiming that they are brothers, and begins selling tramadol again to earn money.

Zain demands that Aspro send him to Sweden as well, which Aspro agrees to do if Zain gives him Yonas. Zain reluctantly agrees, and Aspro tells him that he will need some form of identification to become a refugee. Zain returns to his parents and demands they give him his identification, to which they laughingly tell him he doesn't have any. Having disowned him for leaving, they kick him out of their house, but not before revealing that Sahar had recently died due to difficulties with her pregnancy. Furious, Zain steals a knife and stabs Assad. He is arrested and sentenced to five years at Roumieh Prison. While in prison, Zain learns that Souad is pregnant and plans to name the child Sahar.

He supplements his meager income by selling cocaine to acquaintances. One is Simone, a huge and thuggish former boxer who terrorises the neighborhood. The extent of this abusive friendship is demonstrated when one night, Simone forces Marcello to take part in a robbery, as he has a van and can act as the driver. The job runs smoothly, but Marcello overhears from his accomplice that he put a dog in the freezer to shut it up. After receiving his token share of the loot, Marcello returns to the scene, retrieves the dog, and revives it. Simone continues to cause havoc, punching a restauranteur and breaking his nose. Some locals discuss what to do about him, but no decision is made. Marcello is silent throughout. Later that night, Simone forces Marcello to get cocaine for him from his supplier without paying for it; accompanying him, Simone is turned down due to his debts, to which the thug responds by brutally beating the dealer and one of his henchmen, leaving with a haul of coke that he and Marcello consume in a strip club.

After refusing to go to hospital, Marcello takes Simone to Simone's mother's house to tend to him; here, Simone and his mother have a brief argument over the cocaine, with his mother upset by Marcello's addiction. One day, Simone discovers that Marcello's shop shares a hollow wall with a cash-for-gold shop, and decides to rob it.

Next morning, Marcello discovers that Simone carried out the robbery, planting evidence to incriminate him.

One year later, Marcello returns home a pariah, rejected even by his cocaine supplier, and having to rebuild his business from scratch; desperate for money, he tracks down Simone and asks for his share of the robbery (around 10,000 euros), but can see it was spent on a motorbike.

After a few days, Marcello seeks Simone out again, apologising for the bike and proposing they rob cocaine suppliers meeting at his shop, to which Simone agrees. When Simone arrives, Marcello tells him to hide in one of the dog cages and wait for his signal. Simone reluctantly does so, only to be locked in it by Marcello, who now taunts the bully. Simone manages to kick the door open, but Marcello hits him on the head with a metal bar as he is crawling out. Marcello chains Simone to the wall in order to treat his injury, but Simone traps Marcello's head under his arm and begins to strangle him. In trying to free himself, Marcello involuntarily kills Simone by strangling him with the chain. Shocked, Marcello disposes of the body by setting it on fire in a field. Hearing his former friends playing football, he tries to capture their attention by shouting to them that the bully is finally dead, to no avail. He then takes the corpse back to the football field, only to discover that his friends left. Marcello eventually decides to bring it to the main square, waiting for people to notice. The groomer slowly realizes that nobody will show up, and he will remain alone with his responsibilities. ===== On an estate called Inviolata, isolated since 1977, 54 farmhands work on a tobacco farm in a sharecropping arrangement, where they are constantly in debt and thus unpaid. The farm is run in a feudal manner by the notorious Marchioness Alfonsina De Luna, "Queen of Cigarettes". Lazzaro is a worker on the farm who dutifully follows every command given to him by the Marchioness, her son, Tancredi, and the estate manager. Tancredi befriends Lazzaro and decides to fake his own kidnapping to aggravate his mother and get some of her money. Tancredi and Lazzaro set out in the wilderness and badlands, where they write a false ransom note and bond with each other. They imitate a wolf's howl to make contact with a lone wolf roaming the countryside; Tancredi also warmly suggests they could be half-brothers, since his father was a womanizer. Lazzaro takes the idea of their brotherhood seriously. Tancredi's mother sees through the fake kidnapping straight away but the estate manager's daughter takes it seriously enough to call the police on her mobile phone during a rare surge in signal strength. The police arrive on the isolated estate by helicopter and begin to search for the missing marquis; they are astonished by what they find on the farm, saying sharecropping has long been illegal, the workers should be earning wages, and that the children should have mandatory education. The police evacuate Inviolata, and Alfonsina is arrested in a scandal that becomes known as the "Great Swindle." Lazzaro, distracted by a police helicopter, falls off a cliff and is left behind unconscious in a ravine; later a wolf (perhaps real, perhaps symbolic) spots him and identifies him by smell as a good man. When Lazzaro awakes, magically many years later, he has not aged and wanders into Inviolata, which is long abandoned and is being raided by robbers (one of whom lived there as a child). The robbers lie to Lazzaro the estate has moved and they are moving possessions for the De Luna family. They also tell him the city is within walking distance.

She takes him into a circle of impoverished survivors of Inviolata who now live in poverty through crime.

Osamu and Shota routinely shoplift goods, using a system of hand signals to communicate. Osamu tells Shota it is fine to steal things that have not been sold, as they do not belong to anyone. One cold night, they see Yuri, a neighbourhood girl they regularly observe locked out on an apartment balcony. They bring her to their home, intending to only have her stay for dinner, but choose not to return her after finding evidence of abuse. Yuri bonds with her new family and learns to shoplift from Osamu and Shota. Osamu urges Shota to see him as his father and Yuri as his sister, but Shota is reluctant.

The son and his wife are Aki's parents, who lie that their daughter is living in Australia. The family visits the beach and Hatsue expresses contentment that she will not die a lonely death. At home, she dies in her sleep. Osamu and Nobuyo bury her under the house and continue to collect her pension without reporting her death. Osamu steals a purse from a car. Shota is uneasy, feeling this theft breaks their moral code. Shota recalls joining the family after Osamu and Nobuyo found him in a locked car. Increasingly guilt-ridden about teaching Yuri to steal, Shota interrupts her theft by stealing fruit from a grocery store in view of the staff. Cornered, he jumps from a bridge and breaks his leg. Shota is hospitalised and detained. Osamu and Nobuyo attract the attention of the police and are caught after attempting to flee with Yuri and Aki. The authorities discover Yuri and the death of Hatsue and tell Shota that the family was going to abandon him. They inform Aki that Osamu and Nobuyo previously killed Nobuyo's abusive husband in a crime of passion and that Hatsue was receiving money from Aki's parents. Nobuyo takes the blame for the crimes and is sentenced to prison. Shota is placed in an orphanage. Osamu and Shota visit Nobuyo in prison, and she gives Shota details of the car they found him in so he can search for his birth parents. Shota stays overnight with Osamu against the orphanage's rules. Osamu confirms that the family intended to abandon him and that he can no longer be his father. The next morning, as he is about to depart, Shota says that he allowed himself to be caught. Osamu chases Shota's bus; Shota looks back and finally acknowledges Osamu as his father. Yuri is returned to her birth parents, who continue to neglect her. ===== Set in 1993, Jacques (Pierre Deladonchamps) is a 39-year- old gay author living and working in Paris. He is a part-time, albeit inattentive, father to his young son Loulou, who stays with him every other night. Loulou is accustomed to his father's bouts of self-indulgent melancholy as well as his manic appreciation for the arts and his string of young lovers. At the same time, Jacques is in the process of coming to terms with his health's steady decline due to AIDS, which is simultaneously and severely affecting his ex-lover Marco. When Marco is rejected by his lover Thierry and comes to stay with Jacques, the two discuss again their intentions to commit suicide before they can be claimed by the disease.

In the meantime, Jacques meets 22-year-old Arthur (Vincent Lacoste), a student and camp counselor, during a work event in Brittany. Arthur is in the throes of a relatively newfound homosexual lifestyle, and he finds himself disenchanted by his generation's rejection of literature and shame of sex; for these reasons, he is drawn to Jacques and his intellectualism. Jacques understands his own reticence to commit to a proper relationship because of a current fling with the young Jean-Marie, and because of his AIDS, but finds himself immensely interested in Arthur. Despite Jacques's intentions to keep things platonic, the two sleep together a few times before Jacques returns home to Paris. As Jacques's AIDS worsens—not a problem for Arthur, who accepts him wholeheartedly—Arthur comes to visit, during which Jacques admits that he has attempted to reject Arthur because he refuses to die stricken by grief that a new love must be over too soon. Arthur appreciates Jacques's lyrical philosophies but cannot accept that he must let Jacques go—or that Jacques could truly want him to. The two spend an evening with Mathieu that ends with Arthur's proclamation that the two "could make a good life together", eventually returning to Brittany to inform his friends he is moving to Paris to be with Jacques. Arthur waits for Jacques to return his calls in order to finalise their plans, completely unaware that he is in the midst of organising his suicide. Jacques brings his life's diaries to Mathieu and says his goodbyes, never returning Arthur's final call. ===== The film is set in the summer of the early 1980s in Leningrad.

When she is accepted to the school (contingent on her performance during an 8-week trial period), she moves to be closer to the school, with her supportive francophone father, Mathias, and younger brother. At the same time, Lara is speaking to her doctors about her gender dysphoria, taking puberty blockers as well as seeing a psychiatrist regularly. Her psychiatrist, like her father, is very supportive of her and tries to assuage her fears, but the difficulty of starting at a new school, along with the difficulties of going through puberty, make Lara insecure and reserved. At school, Lara excels, both in her ballet classes and socially. Despite the public knowledge that she is transgender, her classmates appear to accept her as one of them, including the other girls who do not object to her sharing their locker room. Although Lara does use the locker room to keep her clothing and put on her pointe shoes, she uses a private restroom when going to the bathroom. Against advice, she secretly tucks her penis with tape during ballet practices. Lara's body goes through even more pain as she trains for hours and hours, causing the pointe shoes to strain and blister her feet. Nevertheless, Lara's dedication to ballet and to making her external appearance reflect her gender identity prevent her from stopping either of these harmful actions. However, Lara's six-year-old brother does not adjust to the town as well. He does not like his new school and cries when he comes home from school and before leaving for school. Lara is a supportive sister, and not only gets him ready and takes him to school each day but checks in on him from afar. After some time, the doctors are ready to begin the process of sex reassignment surgery for Lara. With her psychiatrist and her father present, her doctor tells Lara what the process will entail. Although the whole process will take two years, Lara is ready and excited and signs the consent documents eagerly. When she speaks to her psychiatrist later, she states that she does not want to date until she has the right body. Her psychiatrist, however, wants her to enjoy her puberty as a teenager and says as much. Although she begins hormone replacement therapy in preparation for her surgery, Lara's body is not changing fast enough for her. One day, when she goes to a sleepover for a friend's birthday, the girls of her dance class (many of whom are present at the party) bully her into showing her penis. Upset, hurt, and humiliated, she goes home early by herself. She finds her father having dinner with his new girlfriend, Christine, and lies to him about having a stomach ache. Her father does not push the subject, but the next day brings it up again on the way to the doctor, concerned. Lara, in her usual guarded and reserved way, insists that everything is fine and does not open up. When they arrive at the office, the doctor notes that Lara has lost a lot of weight and has a genital infection. She tells Lara that she must stop taping and gain weight because she has to be strong enough (physically) for the operation. Lara lies and says she is fine, but her dad says that she is not. Upset, emotionally and physically worn down, Lara almost breaks down during ballet class. Distraught, she tries to find comfort with a boy in her building. She kisses him and he kisses her back. Though she pushes his hands away when he tries to touch her chest and legs, she begins to perform oral sex on him, but then runs away. She comes back home and picks a fight with her father; instead of getting mad at her, he tries to understand what is going on with Lara. He asks her what is wrong, but she cannot quite put her finger on it and remains upset. Studio rehearsals are over and the dance students move to the stage. During their first stage practice, Lara barely makes it through before collapsing from exhaustion backstage. The next day, she wakes up at home. She is worried that she is late for class, and tries to leave immediately, but her father points out she hasn't eaten. She lashes out in frustration and breaks down in tears, but her father holds her and makes her calm down. Later, at the doctor's office, her doctors tell her that she has to stop dancing and regain her strength, otherwise she will not be able to have sex reassignment surgery at all. For now, her surgery is delayed. Unable to dance, she goes to her classmates' ballet performance and sits in the audience, watching with her father. Hurt, pain, and jealousy are visible on her face as she silently cries. At a holiday dinner some time later, Lara seems to be doing better. The guests comment on how gorgeous she looks in her new dress, and she falls asleep cradling her little brother. The next day, her father brings her coffee and then goes to work and to zero off her little brother at school. Once her father leaves, Lara prepares a bowl of ice, calls emergency services, and then mutilates her penis with a pair of scissors. Her father rushes to her side in the ambulance and stays by her bedside in the hospital. Once Lara awakens, he holds her hand and caresses her face. The two do not exchange words, but simply smile at one another. The film ends with a shot of a determined, possibly even happy, Lara with shorter hair, walking down a street. ===== ===== Every night, on a tall cliff deep within a monster-filled forest, a large wolf monster would sing to the night sky. Her beautiful voice soon attracted the attention of a young prince from the kingdom surrounded by the forest, who began to journey to the forest every night to listen to her. Initially wary of the human, the Wolf began to enjoy the prince's admiration for her music, but feared letting the prince discover what she truly was and would run off before he could see her. One night, the Prince climbed up the cliff to see the owner of the lovely voice and the Wolf, caught off guard by the prince's actions, accidentally blinded him when she impulsively tried to cover his eyes. In fear, the prince stumbled backwards and fell off the cliff despite the Wolf's attempts to rescue him. After being saved by a guard, drawn over by the commotion, the Prince is imprisoned by his parents as his wound shamed their family. A few days later, the wolf sneaked into the castle upon learning of this and feeling guilty over the prince's misfortune. Telling the prince that she is a princess from a neighboring kingdom, the Wolf decides to take the prince to visit the Witch of the Forest; a mystical being who can grant wishes for a price. But realizing she cannot take him as she is, the Wolf seeks out the Witch and offers her singing voice for human form. The Witch accepts, giving the Wolf the ability to freely transform into a princess yet warned her that the spell would be negated under moonlight. Returning to the castle and freeing the Prince, the Wolf (assuming the form of the Princess) begins her long quest to guide him to the Witch in order to wish for his eyes to be healed. Over the course of the journey, the two begin to bond, though the "Princess's" unusual mannerisms arouse confusion and eventually suspicion from the Prince. One night, while the Princess was handing the Prince a flower, a moonbeam cast over her hand and returned it to its original form. The Prince, remembering the feel of the arm that blinded him, immediately recognized it and the resulting falling out caused a massive forest fire. The flames eventually reach and consume most of the Witch's collection; the payments of all the wishes she had granted. Infuriated, the Witch transforms into a massive monster and begins to rampage through the forest. After saving the Prince from the fire, the Princess and Prince decide to work together to calm the Witch down in order to apologize. They succeed and though she's still furious with them, the Witch accepts the Princess's request for the Prince's eyesight restored, though both her ability to transform and her memories of the Prince would be required as payment. The Witch admits that such a price wouldn't normally be required to heal the Prince's eyes alone, but to atone for their sins and to acquire the power needed to heal the forest, she would need the additional magic. Despite the Prince's attempting to stop the Princess from accepting the terms, he is powerless to prevent it as the Princess is permanently turned back into her true form. Sometime after, though now a horrible singer, the Wolf continued singing on a cliff to the night sky until the Prince (still calling her a princess) appears one night. Having forgotten who he is, the Wolf initially attempts to eat him. Before she can do so, the Prince gives her a bouquet of flowers, causing the Wolf to be overwhelmed by emotions of nostalgia and sorrow. No longer feeling alone, the two sit down next to each other. Despite her lost memories and voice, the Wolf enjoys the Prince's company and continues singing for him from that point on. ===== Architect Temirbek Sarsenbayev receives from a mysterious professor the gift of accurately throwing objects at a target, from a long distance and almost without aiming.

Harker recalls his journey to Dracula's castle with the purpose of sealing real estate deal for the Count in England. Harker meets his host and hears the wolves howling. Next night Harker begins to shave in his room and gets scared, when Dracula approaches him, as Harker saw no reflection of the Count in the mirror. Jonathan cuts himself, this enrages Dracula, who throws away and breaks Jonathan's mirror. When Harker awakes next morning, he finds most of his things are gone and his door is locked from the outside. He also hears that there is some kind of work going on in the castle. That night Jonathan demands to leave and Dracula mockingly opens the door for him, only for the wolves to burst inward. Frightened, Jonathan stays. Next day Jonathan is left completely alone in the castle, as he hears the rolling of heavy wheels and cracking of whips, knowing that it's Dracula's coffins, filled with earth, leaving for England. Dr. Seward comments that Harker's journal terminates at this point and presents in evidence a clipping from newspaper in Whitby. It's about sudden storm and the crashing of foreign schooner, which rushed with terrific speed toward the shore. A searchlight was turned on her, and there lashed to the helm was a corpse of the captain, with drooping head which swayed horribly to-and-fro at each motion of the ship. At the crash, a huge dog sprang up on deck from below and jumped from the bow onto the sand of the shore and vanished into the night. The Coast Guard going abroad at dawn finds the dead captain fastened to a spoke of the wheel, tightly clutched in one hand was a crucifix. In the pocket of the dead man's coat was found a bottle, carefully corked, containing a roll of paper. This proves to be an addendum to the ship's log. The log of the ship Demeter tells the story of its doomed journey, disappearance of the crew one by one and of captain intending not to leave the ship no matter what. There is found on board only a small amount of cargo: the ship carried nothing but earth, common earth, packed away in wooden boxes - shaped much like coffins. Later Dr. Seward telegraphs to his former mentor, Dr. Van Helsing in Amsterdam, to come to England and examine Seward’s fiancée Lucy Westenra. Lucy is very ill, chalkly pale, the bones of her face stand out, but Seward can’t diagnose what’s wrong with her. Van Helsing arrives, finds two marks on Lucy’s throat and tells Seward she is in great danger. He orders Seward not to leave Lucy alone. Seward sits by Lucy‘s side all night, while she sleeps, and hears like a bat or something like that flaps against the window pane. Next day Seward receives a message from Purfleet, requesting his urgent presence in London, and leaves. That night Dracula breaks into Lucy’s room through the window and drains her. The next day Seward and Van Helsing find Lucy on the floor dying. She beckons Seward to her and asks him to kiss her, but Van Helsing stops him. Lucy screeches and dies. Soon they read in newspapers about strange cases involving young children straying from home or failing to return from playing near Hampstead. In all these cases, the children have given as their excuse that they have been with 'a beautiful lady' who offered them chocolates. In each case, the child was found to be slightly torn or wounded in the throat. Van Helsing leads Seward to cemetery, where Lucy is buried, and they hide near her tomb. They see a strange figure carrying a child, whom she abandons when she notices them. They enter the tomb, see vampire Lucy in her coffin and under Van Helsing’s persuasion Seward stakes her. Seward reveals that a man was found on the border of Transylvania, who talked wildly of wolves and boxes of earth and blood. His name is Jonathan Harker. He was brought to England and committed for observation to a private ward in Seward’s hospital at Purfleet. It is during this time that his wife, Mina Harker, brought to the attention of Dr. Van Helsing and Seward the journal that her husband had kept while the prisoner in the castle of a certain Count Dracula in Transylvania. Van Helsing, Seward, Harker and Mina all gather together to discuss how to defeat Dracula. From the Count's castle in Transylvania to Whitby came 50 boxes of earth. All of these were delivered at Carfax. Recently, 12 of these boxes have been removed. Van Helsing says they need to ascertain whether all the rest remain in the deserted house next door or whether anymore have been removed, then they need to sterilise the earth in the boxes with holy water so vampire can no longer seek safety in it. The men leave Mina home alone and go to Carfax, where they find only 38 of boxes and each one of them is sterilised. Meanwhile Mina has a strange dream - white mist creeping into the room and gaslight looking only like a tiny red spark in the fog. Then the spark divides and seems to shine on Mina through the fog like two red eyes. The next day men track down the remaining 12 boxes at an empty house at Piccadilly. They encounter Dracula himself there, who says to them that Mina is his already, his mark is on her throat and that she is with him always, over land or sea! Dracula disappears and the heroes can’t find his last box. Mina falls in some sort of trance, repeating the exact words Dracula said at the house at Piccadilly, so the heroes understand Mina has connection to Dracula now. Van Helsing hypnotises Mina and they find out that Dracula has left England on the ship and is heading back to Transylvania. The heroes all follow him by land across Europe, Van Helsing keeps hypnotising Mina. They reach Transylvania and split up - Harker and Seward charter steam launch and follow Dracula up the river. Van Helsing and Mina take a train to Veresti and from there go to Bistritz over to Borgo. At the sunset Mina and Van Helsing see the Slovaks, with their heavy wagon, being chased by Harker and Seward. The wagon smashes into a great rock buried in the snow, loses its front wheels and turns over on its side, the horses tear loose from their tracers and bolt, and the Slovaks scatter and vanish after them. Van Helsing screams for Harker to stake Dracula’s heart. Mentally Dracula begins to call out to his animal servants to protect him and raises storm. The heroes do not hear him, but Mina hears. Dracula calls out to Mina, calling her his bride and “my love” and asks her to help him. Mina tears the stake and the hammer out of Jonathan’s hands...and stakes Dracula herself. Vampire’s whole body crumbles into dust. The radio drama concludes with Orson Welles saying that in case Count Dracula has left audience a little apprehensive, when people go to bed tonight, they shouldn’t worry, just put out the lights and go to sleep, but should always remember ... and continues in his Dracula’s voice “Ladies and gentlemen, there are wolves, there are vampires!

Later, Jack sends Netta to a school in Paris, and as time passes, he gradually ceases to think of his promise to Barton and his engagement to Netta, and becomes attached to Mrs. Smith Douglas, an attractive widow.

Seeing how popular Netta is with the young men who pay her great attention, Jack has a mental struggle between his love and a desire to be unselfish. He finally decides to give Netta her freedom that she may marry a man of her own choosing and nearer her own age. He does this gently, not knowing that Netta is genuinely in love with him, and always has been. She is heartbroken, but consents, thinking that Jack does not love her.

It begins with the a description of the death of a New Year's Eve reveller, later attributed to a mythological creature that was described in a 1669 pamphlet Strange News out of Essex, or The Winged Serpent. This is followed by a description of the recent death of Cora Seaborne's abusive husband. Cora lives in London with her son Francis and his governess Martha who is also a close companion of Cora's. Francis is described as a strange child with a habit of collecting odd objects in his pockets and showing little to no affection for his mother. Cora has formed a friendship with her late husband's doctor, Luke Garrett, whom she calls 'Imp.' He however, has stronger feelings for her, although he does not reveal them until later. Cora is intrigued by the news of the Essex serpent from her friends Charles and Katherine Ambrose and wants to discover more about it. They tell her that they know of a family called the Ransomes living in the village of Aldwinter where the serpent had been sighted who she could make contact with. Although Cora is sceptical of the family, especially as the father is a parson, she agrees due to her interest in fossils and Mary Anning and therefore the mythical serpent. Cora is staying in the Essex town of Colchester with Martha and Francis and there she sees the Ambrose's and meets a homeless man Thomas Taylor who earns money by showing people the ruins of an old house. Whilst staying in Colchester, Cora decides to take a walk to Aldwinter, which is many miles away. When she reaches the village she meets a man who is trying to pull a sheep out of the mud, she helps him pull it out but he receives a cut on his cheek from the sheep's hoof. When Cora goes to stay in Aldwinter and meets the Ransome's she automatically takes a liking to Stella Ransome, and later meets the priest, William, who has been equally sceptical of meeting her as she has of him. However, when they meet she realises that he was the man who was pulling the sheep out of the mud and they both begin laughing. Will Ransome doesn't believe in the serpent and calls it the 'Trouble' as it has caused the entire village to be in fear. On his daily rounds of the parish he consoles the villagers, including Cracknell, an old man who lives at a house called Worlds End and skins moles to hang on his gate. Will tries to convince everyone that there is no serpent. The Ransome's have three children, Joanna, John and James. Joanna is described as particularly clever and she immediately gets on with Martha. One night Joanna and John go down to the Blackwater beach with Joanna's friend Naomi Banks to cast a spell. Naomi looks up to Joanna and almost envies her. Cora and Will disagree on most matters, however they form an intense connection through their disagreements and become close friends. Stella is pleased that Will has found a friend and feels no jealousy. However, Luke is jealous and Martha is confused and unsure of Will and Cora's bond. Luke's friend Spencer, who is also a doctor has feelings for Martha, who does not return them. However, she does not tell him this as he is described as 'embarrassingly rich' and she knows she can use him to help her solve the problem of London housing. Throughout the book the fear of the serpent is present within Aldwinter and is made more prominent by the death of Cracknell, who is found dying on the shingle by Francis. Francis watches him die with curiosity. The next day he is found dead and the villagers believe it is the doing of the Essex Serpent. There is another very strange event when Cora goes to talk about fossils at the local school and suddenly Naomi banks begins laughing and snapping her head back and forth to the door, it seems infectious and soon the whole class of girls is doing the same thing apart from Joanna. It scares Cora and she tells Will about it later. She wants to understand what happens so suggests to Stella hypnotising Joanna to find out more. Stella agrees and Luke Garrett comes to hypnotise Joanna. However, half way through the process, Will arrives and rages at Cora for doing this.

She is angry as she feels she has only just escaped her husband and now she must be tied down again. She sends an angry letter to Luke, who has realised that he will not be able to operate again. Once she knows what has happened to Luke she sends another letter, apologising. However, Spencer is appalled at Cora's cruelty and will not allow her to see them again.

The film focuses on female empowerment 'London Unplugged,' centres around an interlinking device of a real-life female athlete, Yourlance Richards, who runs from Stratford in East London all the way to Kew Gardens in West London, visiting many of the locations which feature in the individual segments, which are as follows: # Dog Days # Felines # Club Drunk # Unchosen # Pictures # Little Sarah's Big Adventure # Mudan Blossoms # Shopping # The Door To # Kew Gardens The final segment is an adaptation of Virginia Woolf's short story "Kew Gardens". During the making of the film, a number of interlinking devices were filmed and trialled by supervising director Nicholas Cohen before settling on Yourlance Richard's run across London. These included: short documentaries about Londoners of different ages and backgrounds, a thread following the work of a London Hackney Cab driver and a selection of London archive material set to music. Ultimately, the story of a female athlete running the length of London was felt to be the strongest metaphor for the universal struggle of London living, revealing the scale of the city to a pedestrian and examining the typical Londoner's need to escape from their familiar corner of the city, the common London life as a 'postcode prisoner.' Both Yourlance Richards herself and her run, proved popular with press and public. ===== Badur Bagan is a locality in North Kolkata. Just beside there is place named Muchi Bagan.

This absent mindedness continues in office as well, and he often gets scolding from Paranpriyo, the manager. "You will soon lose your job, Anadi." He himself used to stay very tensed regarding this job, he used to mummer "maybe I will lose this job." He has a son named Shibu Chakraborty, who is jobless spoil brat. All of a sudden he falls for Radhika. But smart beautiful Radhika gives a shit about it; she was not at all interested. Radhika used to come to Muchi Bagan for Bengali tuition to Dimpida.

Rick goes to tend to Gracie and encounters Siddiq (Avi Nash). Rick asks how Carl was bitten; Siddiq tells him it happened while honoring Siddiq's mother, someone he never knew. Later, Rick, Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) review and prepare to depart to investigate the Savior plans that had been previously delivered by Gregory on behalf of Dwight (Austin Amelio). However, they are unaware that Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) planted these as a ruse to entrap them. Meanwhile, Morgan (Lennie James), starts hallucinating again and nearly kills Henry (Macsen Lintz) before Carol (Melissa McBride) stops him. Morgan later kills a living Savior in cold blood; however, Jesus (Tom Payne) suggests that he shouldn't kill the living so willingly. Back at the Sanctuary, Eugene (Josh McDermitt) delivers and demonstrates his homemade ammo supply to Negan, and recommends that they use a firing line approach to fight Rick's army. Negan sends a decoy group of Saviors to set up a roadblock as part of the ruse to entrap Rick, while he, Gabriel (Seth Gilliam), Eugene, and the rest of them set out on their real course. As they drive, Negan confesses to Gabriel that he intentionally sacrificed the roadblock group, expecting Rick will kill all of them, but that this was a necessary sacrifice as they were also armed with more false intel that would lead Rick's group into his ambush while thinking the plans from Dwight were legitimate. Gabriel, on hearing this, tries to escape the moving vehicle to warn Rick, but is caught by Eugene. Following the map, Rick's group witnesses a massive walker horde in the distance and continue on. They end up in a large field where Negan taunts them over a public address system. Negan reveals that he has Gabriel at gunpoint, that their traitor Dwight is a prisoner, and that his people are ready to fire. He counts down from three, as a firing line of Saviors appears on the ridge line of the hill, ready to shoot down Rick's group. However, as they fire, their weapons all backfire due to Eugene's purposely faulty ammo, killing or injuring many – including Negan – and rendering the guns ineffective. As Rick's group engage in gun battle, Gabriel and Dwight overpower their captors and force Negan to flee with his baseball bat—"Lucille". In the ensuing shootout, many of the Saviors are killed while the rest willingly put down their weapons and surrender. Concurrently, a smaller Savior convoy reaches the Hilltop. The residents all evacuate through a secret passage to the woods behind the community. Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Alden (Callan McAuliffe) stay behind to slow down the Saviors, when suddenly the Saviors are hit by molotov cocktails thrown by the Oceanside community, led by Cyndie (Sydney Park) and Aaron (Ross Marquand). Back at the field, Rick pursues Negan to a tree where two stained glass windows hang; one of Rick's shots fractures one. Negan attacks Rick with Lucille; the two grapple until Negan gains the upper hand. He tells Rick that he wanted to kill him back when they first met, but couldn't do it in front of Carl. Rick says there can be another way and convinces Negan to hear him out for Carl's sake, that there could be a peaceful future for both of them. Negan seems to be listening and becomes tearful. With Negan's guard down, Rick uses a shard of broken glass to slice Negan's throat while the combined groups watch from a distance. Rick tells Siddiq to save him, much to Maggie's anguish; she wanted to see Negan suffer for killing her husband, Glenn. Michonne restrains Maggie as Rick tells the gathered people that they will start a new world, living in peace, and that the walkers are the real enemies; stating that all the communities, including the Saviors, must work together in order to survive. As everyone departs, Rick falls against the tree and tearfully says to himself "My mercy prevails over my wrath" – a scene first shown in "Mercy". Eventually, the survivors regroup back at their various communities. At the Hilltop, Alden tells Maggie he will stay and help build the inventions from the book given to Maggie by Georgie. The Oceanside group reintegrate and revitalize the Sanctuary. In exchange, a large amount of food and other supplies are given to Tara for the Hilltop. Dwight, whom Daryl has driven deep into the woods, profusely apologizes for his former actions but acknowledges to Daryl he deserves to die. Instead, Daryl gives him the keys to the truck and tells him to leave, go make it right and find his wife Sherry, but warns him to never return. Later, Dwight arrives at their old home and finds a recent note from Sherry. At the junkyard, Morgan stops to see Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) and tells her that Rick has invited her to join their community and be part of a group again. Morgan says he will stay behind in the junkyard to be alone as he has decided he cannot be around people now. Back in her office at the Hilltop, Maggie has a private meeting with Jesus and Daryl. They believe Rick and Michonne made a mistake by keeping Negan alive and the three allude to rectifying this once Hilltop has had time to regroup and fortify. In the infirmary, Rick and Michonne explain to a recovering Negan that he will spend the rest of his life in a cell while he watches their community thrive. At Alexandria, Gabriel returns to the burnt- out remains of the church and thanks God for helping him by showing him the light. In the final scene, Rick reads his own letter back to Carl – saying he remembers that earlier day too and thanks him for leading him to this point. ===== ===== Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) answers a message board advertisement for a valuable piano owned by a famous musician named Benny Hope. This leads him to a mansion owned by a pale, idiosyncratic man with a mask-like face named Theodore "Teddy" Perkins (Donald Glover). Teddy exhibits strange and unsettling behavior during their conversations. He claims that Benny is his brother, whom he watches over. Teddy will not let Darius meet Benny, as he is wheelchair bound and has a skin condition that makes him extremely photosensitive. After exploring some of the mansion, Darius calls Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) who urges him to be direct and leave as soon as possible.

Darius is eventually granted the piano and attempts to leave via the elevator. A malfunction takes him to the mansion's basement where he meets Benny (Derrick Haywood). Benny, unable to speak due to bandages covering his face, warns Darius through a chalkboard that "Teddy [will] kill us both" and that he should retrieve a gun located in the attic. Darius ignores this and attempts to leave with the piano immediately. Reaching the front door, he discovers that Teddy is blocking the loading bay of Darius's rental truck with his car. Darius is forced to go back into the house to ask Teddy to move the vehicle. Having caught onto their plan to murder him, Teddy holds Darius at gunpoint with the double-barreled shotgun from the attic. He forces Darius to handcuff himself to a chair, and reveals his plan to kill Darius and stage the scene like a home invasion. As Teddy sets down his shotgun, Darius unsuccessfully attempts to dissuade Teddy by sympathizing with his past. To Teddy's surprise, the injured Benny exits the elevator and enters the room. Benny shoots Teddy and then uses the fireplace poker he takes from Darius to pull the trigger, shooting himself in the head. The police arrive and haul off the corpses, along with the piano as crime scene evidence as a visibly troubled Darius drives away empty-handed in his U-Haul truck. ===== Two scientists: the biologist-geneticist (Yevgeny Vesnik) and the programmer Kostya (Sergey Bekhterev) wish to create a cyborg to fight against the mafia.

That night, Shinka and Sanae, along with their friend Satone Shichimiya, and their senior Kumin Tsuyuri, suggest that Rikka and Yūta elope temporarily, to show Tōka that they are serious about wanting to be together. Early at dawn the next day, Yūta and Rikka leave by train. Tōka confronts Shinka, Sanae and Kumin, who insist they know nothing. Tōka reveals that she had secretly recorded the trio's conversation from the night before, and with the picture of Shinka and Sanae's accidental kiss, blackmails them into retrieving Yūta and Rikka.

In Hokkaido, Yūta explains he wants to talk to Rikka's mother about his future with Rikka. He unveils the ring as proof of his promise to Rikka, which she wears. Embarrassed, Rikka hits a sign and falls, dropping her phone, which inadvertently switches on. Rikka's mother is out of town, so Yūta and Rikka board a train to meet her in Aomori. Rikka claims that she seems to lose her powers wearing the ring, and she calls Satone for advice, who tells her that accepting the lovers' contract between her and Yūta will cause her powers to fade. Satone tells her that she has to make a choice, whether to give up her chūnibyō or not. The next morning. Yūta discovers Rikka's suitcase is gone, with only the ring left behind.

As a result, China becomes the world's largest military and economic power, in addition in leading the world in technological research and development. In an earlier conflict a generation prior to the setting of the short story, China took over Catalina Island and the California Channel Islands. In the current setting, China had been distributing Real throughout the US for years. Real is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that came in the form of a small, colorful square of cardboard-like material. Contact with the skin produced hallucinations that were claimed to be "realer than real life". The drugs use had been undermining productivity since many citizens would rather "get Real" than work or do anything else. The United States government brought the issue to a head at a peace conference held in Los Angeles. Secretary of State Jackson, Secretary of Defense Berkowitz and Secretary of the DEA Kojima meet with Third Minister Hu Zhiaoxing and issued an ultimatum of war if distribution did not end. Hu Zhiaoxing refused and insisted that Real was not a drug but a meta-stimulation of specific brain regions and China was merely supplying a product to consumers and if the U.S. offered its citizens better, there would not be any demand for Real. This leads to the United States to declare war on China. The US began its offensive with air-strikes by F-27 aircraft on the Channel Islands, particularly Catalina Island off the coast from Los Angeles. The F-27 was the latest United States Air Force air superiority fighter aircraft. It first entered service in the 2050s but constant upgrades in weaponry, avionics and stealthiness kept it state of the art. With afterburner and strap-on rocket packs, an F-27 could climb to the edge of space. However, the Chinese demonstrated the defensive capabilities of meta-reality technology by defeating the attack. Avatars appeared in the cockpits of the aircraft and forced Real onto the pilots. This established control over their senses and deceived the pilots into crashing their aircraft. The US resorted to sending the Navy to attack the islands. Warships, using elaborate spoofing, approached the Chinese holding in order to shell them. However, the Chinese again used meta reality technology, this time more directly. For instance, the USS Rumsfeld (named after Donald Rumsfeld) ran into a giant brick wall at flank speed, causing enough damage to sink it. Hu Zhiaoxing met with his US counterparts via video conference and indicated that the US attacks were ineffective. He offered relatively soft terms for peace, which included that the US allow Chinese distribution of Real without legal penalty, Chinese citizens arrested in the United States be tried in Chinese courts to ensure fairness, and that the US pay a moderate indemnity. American officials rejected the terms and the war continued. The Chinese launched a punitive raid on Los Angeles. First all power and telephone services (both cell and landlines) were cut off. Then avatars appeared throughout the city warning the residents to evacuate the city. Two and a half hours later, what appeared to be a giant Pyrex bowl covered the city. However, it is impervious to missile and artillery fire. Then, what appeared to be lightning began causing random damage within the bowl. Meanwhile, companies of conventionally armed Chinese soldiers entered the city. They left the LA citizens alone unless they offered resistance, though a surprisingly large number were armed and not surprisingly angry. In addition, American soldiers trapped within the bowl were allowed to surrender unless they too offered more than token resistance. After this show of force and the continued impotence of US forces, the US had no option but to surrender. As Hu Zhiaoxing had warned, the terms were harsher, which included the US would place no further restriction on the distribution of the entertainment known as Real and any criminal or civil penalties would be declared null and void, China would receive a 99-year lease on the ports of San Pedro and Long Beach for one dollar a year and that those ports would have no duty on imports although the Chinese reserved the right to impose duties on U.S. products entering the territory and that the US would pay an indemnity of twenty trillion dollars in either gold, petroleum, uranium or hard currency to be agreed upon with the full amount was to be paid within ten years. Those actions insured that the U.S. would continue its decline. ===== Sam and Remi Fargo go on another quest to discover another lost treasure, this time artifacts that disappeared when the Russian Romanov dynasty came to an end.

In the summer of 1979 in Paris, Anne, a producer and director of gay pornography, is abandoned by her girlfriend and editor, Loïs. Anne's best friend and actor Archibald is trying to maintain a good environment for the actors while they shoot Anne's next film. After being contacted and questioned by the police, it is revealed that the young man from the beginning, Karl, had starred in many of Anne's films. Karl's death forces Anne to find another actor; she meets a young miner named Nans, who despite being heterosexual agrees to star in her upcoming film. Anne decides to center the film on Karl's murder, naming it Anal Fury V. Later, the killer murders Thierry, another of the film's actors, while he injects heroin. The whole studio is now frightened by the murders and the police's failure to protect them. Still confident, Anne hires four more actors to continue filming the film, now retitled Homocidal. The crew manages to finish the film and celebrate with a picnic in a forest. During the picnic, Anne is visited by Loïs to try to reconcile their relationship but are interrupted by a storm. Meanwhile, Misia, another actor, gets lost in the forest and is murdered by the masked killer. In a manic state, Anne chases after Loïs and sexually assaults her. Loïs runs away, leaving Anne deeply devastated. After three more deaths, Anne tries to convince the police to protect them, but they dismiss her. However, an officer gives her a clue: in each crime scene, a crow feather was found next to the corpse. Anne contacts a pet shop to learn more about the feather and is told that it belongs to a species of blind crow. Anne travels to a small town where its forest houses the species. In the forest, she spots a cemetery where a lonely woman is grieving. The woman tells Anne the story of her son Guy Favre, who had a secret affair with his friend Hicham. After the couple had sex in a barn, Guy's father caught them. He murdered Hicham, castrated Guy, and burned the barn with Guy inside. Guy's mother tells Anne that Guy managed to survive, albeit horribly disfigured. That night, Anne receives newspaper clippings of Guy's murder and realises that he is the killer. Intent on setting a trap for Guy, she tells the crew to film another scene with Archibald as the main actor. Meanwhile, Loïs is editing the latest scene from Homocidal when she spots Guy in the footage. Back at the shooting, the film does not make any progress, which leads to an improvising that involves mini-blackouts. As these unfold, Guy appears and murders actor Luis and attempts to murder Anne. Loïs arrives and intervenes, which causes her to get stabbed by Guy. She dies in Anne's arms as Guy escapes. Sometime later, Anne and Nans attend the premiere of Homocidal at an adult movie theater. Guy is also there, seating near to Nans. After the film ends, another of Anne's films begins playing; she realises that the murdered actors all starred in a scene which recreated Guy's tragic story, and that he wants revenge by murdering all those involved, including Anne. In a dark room, Guy attempts but is unable to murder Nans due to his physical resemblance to Hicham. Just as he is about to attack him, he is interrupted by Anne. Guy takes another man hostage and runs to another film screening, where the audience of gay men attack and kill him as payback for the fear he created in the community. In a flashback, Guy and Hicham's tragic love story is recalled with an addition: a blind crow who revives the disfigured Guy after the fire. He suffered amnesia and went to live in Paris; his rage was later triggered when he watched Anne's film. The film ends with Anne shooting her latest film and reconciling with Loïs' spirit. ===== Oleg tells Philip about the split over Gorbachev within the KGB's leadership.

The two reconnect in a friendly conversation where Idris reveals that he has given up his long-running quixotic attempt to dig a well on his arid property, and that he has read and enjoyed Sinan's book (making him the only person who appears to have done so). In a surreal moment, it appears that Sinan has hung himself in the abandoned well, but the film then abruptly cuts to Idris awakening. Looking about for his absent son, he walks over to the well to find Sinan at the bottom, continuing to dig. ===== In the late 1960s Zaida (Natalia Reyes), a young Wayuu woman, comes of age. She meets Rapayet (José Acosta) who proposes to marry her. Zaida comes from the influential Pushaina family and her mother, Ursula, sets her dowry high. Rapayet comes across white American Peace Corps volunteers desperate for marijuana. Rapayet and his friend Moisés go to Rapayet's cousin, Gabriel, who grows marijuana. Impressed by their product, one of the Americans offers Rapayet a business deal exporting the drugs. With the money from the trade Rapayet is able to pay Zaida's dowry in full, though Ursula disapproves of his dealings with foreigners. A few years later Rapayet is happily married to Zaida, with the export business grown to a large scale operation. Moisés urges Rapayet to expand the business and work with other growers, but Rapayet stays loyal to Gabriel. During a handoff Rapayet realizes the Americans he is working with are dealing with others. Moisés kills two of the men, and is only stopped from killing a third when Rapayet threatens him. The Pushaina family urge Rapayet to kill Moisés in retribution for the blood he has spilled. However, in deference to their friendship, Rapayet instead tells Moisés he is no longer welcome in the business. Moisés and his men kill Gabriel and his family in retaliation, and Rapayet is forced to kill Moisés. With the Pushaina family backing him, he strikes a new deal with Gabriel's brother, Anibal, but for a higher fee. By the end of the '70's, Rapayet and his family are enjoying a prosperous life and are invited to attend Gabriel's second burial. In spite of Ursula's reluctance, the entire family attends. Leonidas, Ursula's youngest son who has grown up knowing only extravagant wealth, drunkenly tries to seduce Anibal's daughter, and later forces one of her bodyguards to eat dog feces in exchange for money. As retribution, Anibal demands that Leonidas work in his fields. Although Ursula urges Rapayet not to comply, Zaida urges him to, hoping to avoid war. While staying in Anibal's compound, Leonidas rapes his daughter, triggering a feud between the clans. Once again trying to avoid war, Rapayet sends a word messenger offering Anibal his entire business. Anibal kills the word messenger, signifying a total break with Wayuu tradition. Rapayet, Zaida and their children flee. The murder causes other Wayuu clans to send their word messengers to Ursula, who is shocked when most are willing to turn their backs on her family, believing they have lost their traditions and are no longer Wayuu. Ursula is forced to give up the sacred objects belonging to her family. Using the strength of the other families, Ursula kidnaps her daughter and grandchildren, and warns Rapayet not to return. Anibal's compound is destroyed and his men are killed. He uses the last of his money to hire mercenaries to decimate Rapayet's compound, leaving only Ursula and her granddaughter Indira alive. Ursula urges Indira to run away with Leonidas, but finding him drunk and nearly dead, she is forced to go on alone. Ursula gives up what remains of her business, and Rapayet's location, to Anibal, in exchange for her grandson's body. Anibal tracks down Rapayet and murders him, vowing to kill Leonidas, too. ===== A series of audition tapes is depicted, in which choreographer Selva and DJ Daddy interview potential future members of a dance troupe they are creating. They discuss topics like dance, fears, relationships, sex, and drug experiences. One night during the winter season in 1996, in an abandoned school, the collected dancers rehearse an elaborate routine before starting an after-party. They dance and drink sangria made by the troupe manager, Emmanuelle. The diverse group has several personal issues and share gossip about one another during the celebration. As the party progresses, the dancers get increasingly agitated and confused and eventually come to the conclusion that the sangria has been spiked with LSD. At first they accuse Emmanuelle since she made the drink, but she points out that she drank it and is also suffering from its effects. Taylor, already resentful towards Omar for dating his sister Gazelle, points out that Omar, a non-drinker, has not touched the sangria and accuses him of being the one responsible. The group gets angry and locks him outside the building in freezing conditions. Emmanuelle sees her young son, Tito, who is present at the rehearsals, drink the sangria and locks him inside an electrical room to protect him from the agitated dancers. Selva goes to the room of her friend Lou, where Lou confesses that she did not drink because she is pregnant. However, Dom, strongly affected by the drug, enters the room, accuses Lou of spiking the drink and kicks her several times in the stomach; Lou, hurt and in great pain both emotional and physical, passes through an altercation between Alaia and Jennifer, during which Jennifer's hair is set aflame after Alaia gets physically aggressive due to Jennifer's refusal to share her cocaine. A frenzied Lou confronts Dom with a knife on the dance floor, but the group, all heavily affected by the LSD at this point, turns on her and accuses her of having spiked the drink. Suffering an emotional breakdown, Lou ends up beating her own stomach and slices herself superficially with the knife on her face and arm after the group encourages her to kill herself. Emmanuelle, who has lost the key to the electric room in which Tito is locked, recklessly tries to free her son. When the school suddenly loses power, she realises that Tito—who is no longer screaming from the other side of the door—has electrocuted himself. Ivana brings a heavily hallucinating Selva to Ivana's room where the two take shelter and have sex. David discovers the two and is kicked out. David tries to enter DJ Daddy's room but is also evicted. Rejected, David encounters Gazelle as her brother, Taylor, attempts to have sex with her. Gazelle flees from Taylor and stumbles into the central hall where the remaining dancers have truly lost their minds, dancing, writhing on the floor, chanting in tongues, having sex with one another, or beating each other up. Taylor catches up to Gazelle and takes her to his room while David is attacked by another dancer who slams his head against the floor. When police arrive the next morning, they find a majority of the dancers unconscious. Omar has frozen to death outside while Emmanuelle has killed herself outside the electrical room out of grief. Gazelle wakes up next to Taylor, seemingly having forgotten the evening. A bloody Lou exits the building, and writhes outside in snow laughing uncontrollably. As the police search the building, Psyché, who has several books related to hallucinogens in her bag, and has had an apparent lack of suffering from acid, goes to her room and drops drugs into her eyes. ===== Carmen lives in a Romani community in the suburbs of Madrid.

Reginald Dwight grows up in 1950s Britain, raised by his unaffectionate mother, Sheila, and more loving grandmother Ivy. Reginald is interested in music and hopes to perform for his father, Stanley, who takes no interest in his son ("I Want Love"). Reginald begins piano lessons, making his way into the Royal Academy of Music. Stanley abandons his family after Sheila has an affair. Reginald develops an interest in rock music and performs in local pubs ("Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting"). As an adult, Reginald joins the band Bluesology, which is hired to play backup for touring American bands, The Isley Brothers and Patti LaBelle and the Blue Belles ("Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache"). Isley Brothers lead singer Ronald Isley recommends Reginald write songs and put his old life behind him to become a famous artist. Reginald changes his name to Elton John, Elton being the name of the saxophonist of Bluesology and John being adopted from the Beatles' John Lennon. Elton writes music and tries finding success with Dick James' record label DJM Records under the management of Ray Williams. Williams introduces Elton to lyricist Bernie Taupin; they become friends and move into a flat to compose their songs ("Border Song"). When Elton admits he is homosexual, he ends his romantic relationship with their landlady, and he and Bernie are evicted. Elton and Bernie move in with Elton's grandmother, his mother, and her boyfriend, where they continue writing and create "Your Song". James sets up a performance for them at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. Elton is nervous before his debut, but the audience embraces his performance ("Crocodile Rock"). Elton is overjoyed by his success but feels abandoned when Bernie leaves him at a party to spend time with a woman ("Tiny Dancer"). He is approached by John Reid, a music manager. They sleep together and later reunite. Reid's influence over Elton launches a downward spiral into a life of debauchery while his career rises to new heights ("Honky Cat"). Elton develops a flamboyant stage persona and becomes one of the most successful artists of the 1970s. Reid's manipulation escalates to abuse after he becomes Elton's manager. Reid insists Elton come out to his parents as gay, so Elton reconnects with his father, who has a new family but still displays no interest in Elton. Distraught, Elton calls his mother and tells her he is gay. She informs him that she already knew, but tells Elton that he will be forever unloved. Struggling with parental issues as well as Reid's increasing physical and emotional abuse, Elton becomes addicted to alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, shopping, and sex to escape his pain and loneliness, but his mood swings and short temper alienate his friends ("Pinball Wizard"). Elton catches Reid cheating on him and breaks off their relationship, but allows Reid to continue as his manager. During a party, he binges on drugs and alcohol and attempts suicide by jumping into his pool. He is rushed to the hospital, then thrust on stage at Dodger Stadium to perform ("Rocket Man"). Elton descends further into a life of drugs, alcohol, and loneliness ("Bennie and the Jets"). He has a short-lived marriage with a close female friend, Renate, but his homosexuality dooms their relationship ("Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"). He falls out with his mother and Bernie ("Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word"). Elton's dependence on prescription pills and alcohol result in a heart attack. Realising his life is out of control, Elton seeks help ("Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"). He enters rehabilitation and realizes he no longer needs support from his parents or Reid. Elton rekindles his friendship with Bernie, who brings him new lyrics. Elton is worried that he cannot perform or compose without alcohol or drugs, but writes "I'm Still Standing" and returns to a successful career. The epilogue notes that Elton has been sober for over twenty-eight years, but "still has issues with shopping". He remains good friends with Bernie and is married to David Furnish, with whom he has two children, and is finally loved properly. ===== Klavdiya Arkhipovna is greatly excited: her brother Ivan Arkhipovich Gundasov, who is a privy councillor, with the rank of a general, has informed her in a letter that due to financial difficulties, instead of his usual trip to Marienbad he was going to spend the summer with her and her family in their Kochuyevka village. Much effort goes into the preparations, most of the culinary order. The house is cleaned, washed and turned inside out, and the boy, Andrey, and his tutor Pobedimsky receive new costumes, made by the local tailor. Upon his uncle's arrival the boy is disappointed. The general does not look at all like a fierce war hero with a sabre as he'd imagined him to be. He is a shifty, youngish middle-aged man who is extraordinary absent-minded and totally delighted with the way how everything around him here is "so very real." He is infatuated with Tatyana Ivanovna, the wife of the estate's manager Fyodor. So as to accommodate the guest and his lackey properly, the boy and his teacher are moved to the couple's lodge. Here the foursome amuse themselves by singing, much to the delight of the general, who makes it a habit to visit them regularly. The idyll goes all pear-shaped one evening when the latter, having forgotten that she has a husband, asks Tatyana (whom he insists on calling Pelageya Ivanovna) to go with himself to Saint Petersburg. The outraged Fyodor Petrovich, who is present, first throws the general out of the outbuilding, then Pobedimsky, who rather stupidly betrays his own feelings towards Tatyana Ivanovna.

He climbs it alone and sees a relatively smooth path in front of him, but cannot hoist the woman up using ropes. As a result, he must change their route, which adds at least three days to their travel along a path that is exposed to the wind. When they take refuge one night in a cave, a polar bear is attracted to the scent of cooking fish. He drives the bear off with a distress flare. The next day, the woman's condition worsens.

He awakens to find himself at the bottom of a cavern with one of his legs trapped under a boulder. He injures his leg getting it free and crawls out of the cavern and back to the surface. Returning to the woman's sled, he finds that she has recovered and decides to take her with him again. Nearly at the end of his strength, he sees a helicopter in the distance.

The helicopter takes off and disappears behind a mountain. Exhausted, he lies down next to the woman, takes her hand and prepares to meet his fate. He closes his eyes as the helicopter lands behind them. ===== ===== At the English lesson in the secondary school No. 12 in Gurzuf, the teacher gives children the task to write an essay titled "The Summer Holiday".

Employed as a greeter at an off-Broadway theater, Brittany is an overweight hard partier who abuses Adderall. Visiting a new doctor to score a prescription, she receives unwelcome news; she must get healthy and lose weight. She visits a nearby gym only to find even the cheapest fee is out of her reach. Despite her fear, she tries running for the first time, successfully running one block. She is invited to run in a group with her neighbor Catherine, whom Brittany detests for her seemingly perfect life. Sucked into another night of partying by Gretchen, Brittany arrives for the group run and meets Seth, another struggling runner, learning they have equal goals. Brittany, Seth, and Catherine bond and, after a 5K run, set the ultimate goal: running in the New York City Marathon. Interviewing for a live- in nanny position, Brittany instead gets referred for a second job as a pet sitter. On her first day, she meets fellow pet sitter Jern, who is essentially living in the house against the rules. After a falling out with her roommate, Gretchen, over her changing lifestyle, Brittany moves into the house as well, bonding with Jern over their stalled lives. Seth and Catherine's predictions that Brittany will have sex and fall in love with Jern eventually come true. Brittany gets within five pounds of her goal of losing 45 pounds. Unable to win a place in the marathon through a lottery, as Seth does, her only hope is to raise enough money for a charity. At Catherine's divorce party, she informs Brittany that she often raises a lot of money for a favorite charity, and offers to have $5000 donated in her name so Brittany can run in the marathon. Brittany's pride, and continued reluctance to let Catherine into her life, force her to turn down the offer, and she leaves.

That same day, she disrupts Demetrius's birthday party by making comments about an overweight female guest. After a stern but heartfelt talk with Demetrius, Brittany returns to New York and her former apartment, now alone as Gretchen is living with her on-and-off boyfriend Terrence. She applies for advertising jobs, for which she trained initially, and lands an entry-level position in Tribeca. Catherine reveals that running was a distraction from her nasty divorce, explaining that years ago, she broke her wrist and was prescribed Oxycodone, which her husband did not believe she should have. He discovered she was taking it anyway, using that fact to deny her visitation rights to their children. Brittany encourages her to take small steps to win her children back, and sets boundaries with Jern to simply be friends. One year later, Brittany runs in the marathon. At the 22-mile mark, she develops a cramp and has to pause. She rejects medical assistance, but accepts an assistant's offer to help her up. While considering quitting, she finds Seth, his husband and sons, and Catherine in the crowd cheering her on. She also encounters Jern, who says he loves her. She then keeps going, finishing the marathon. An epilogue reveals Brittany and Jern living together as a couple, but she does not want to marry him despite his suggestion.

The forty men and women are nominally led by the aging nobleman Don Gonzalo de Baztán and his young wife Ana, but actually commanded by the brutal, gold-hungry veteran conquistador Ensign Juan de Gorriamendi. Tensions start to arise in the group due to the jungle's perils and their own grudges with each other, including the impopularity of Don Gonzalo due to his summary executions and the growing attraction between Ana and one of the soldiers, Italian Wars veteran Martín Dávila, who rivals Gorriamendi for her. After crossing a river filled with alligators, the expedition is told by messenger Jeromillo that the governor who sanctioned the mission has been deposed, and that his successor has sent another contingent under the command of Don Juan Medrano to catch up with them, planning to execute Don Gonzalo and override the expedition. In order to avoid Medrano, and by advice of the group's local guide, Chocó auxiliary Mediamano, the group turns towards a territory populated by hostile Carib tribes. However, ultimately deciding against Don Gonzalo's incompetent leadership, the conquistadores revolt against him and have him killed anyway, with Gorriamendi taking over the mission. The ensign also becomes Ana's forceful lover, further digging a trench between Dávila and him.
