The development manager, Lacey, sends a hoodlum named Carlos and his gang of thugs to bribe the couple and their tenants to move out. When the tenants resist, Carlos and his thugs punch through artist Mason Baylor's door, intimidate pregnant single mother Marisa Esteval, and break retired boxer Harry Noble's jar of tiles. After Frank Riley refuses to move, Carlos vandalizes the café. This assault convinces three of the tenants to move out. Mason's girlfriend, Pamela is tired of living in an old, depressing building with a guy whose art career is going nowhere. She dumps Mason, packs up and before leaving, advises Mason to quit being an artist and get a steady job. The Rileys' friends, Muriel and Sid Hogensin take Lacey's bribe and decide to move to a retirement home in New Jersey. Frank feels a little betrayed by the Hogensins for taking Lacey's money but they explain that the building doesn't feel like home anymore. They advise Frank that maybe he and Faye should come live with them at the retirement home. With the assault and Faye's dementia growing, Frank contemplates giving in. Things look bleak until a pair of small living space ships appear in the Rileys' apartment that evening and start repairing many of the items that were broken. They also repair the vandalized cafe, putting Frank and Faye back in business. The two aliens take up residence in the shed at the top of the apartment building, and are dubbed "The Fix-Its" by the residents. Carlos comes back to threaten the tenants once again, but the Fix- Its lure him to the top of the building and into the shed where they scare him away. Faye and Marisa learn that the "female" Fix-It is pregnant. After consuming plenty of metal and electrical objects, it gives birth to three baby Fix-Its, although one of them is stillborn.

Marisa confesses that she told Hector to go without her because their relationship just wasn't working out. But it also appears she has developed feelings for Mason. Mason has developed feelings for her as well. With Carlos unable to prove the existence of the Fix-Its that had been foiling their plans, Lacey is furious with the delays in evicting the tenants and moves to replace him. Desperate to see the job done and growing more unstable, Carlos breaks into the building's basement to sabotage the building's pipework and electricity, and badly damages the "father" machine in the process. After Harry throws him out, the tenants discover the Fix-It children are missing and go searching for them in the city while Faye stays behind with the "mother" machine as it fixes the "father". When the "father" machine is repaired, the now-wary Fix-It parents leave to seek out their offspring. After finding them with Harry, the machine family departs from the planet. Tired of the delays, Lacey hires an arsonist. The arsonist attempts to burn down the building in a staged "accidental fire". Carlos discovers the plan and in a rage sabotages the arson to make the entire building explode, only to then discover that Faye is still in the building. While the arsonist flees, Carlos unsuccessfully attempts to pose as her late son Bobby to get her to leave, but succeeds in rescuing her as the fire spreads. The tenants then return to find the blazing apartment block collapsing, and Faye being loaded into an ambulance. By the next morning, the apartment block has been reduced to a smoldering wreck. To Kovacs' fury the construction crew, out of respect for Harry, refuse to continue as he is sitting dejected on the steps. Harry is greeted by the mechanical family later that night, who have recruited countless other Fix-Its for repairs. By the next morning, the entire building has been seamlessly restored to brand new condition, ending Lacey's demolition plans and resulting in him terminating Kovacs. Mason and Marisa settle into a relationship, while Carlos tries to start a friendship with the Rileys, with Faye finally having come to accept her real son's passing. Some years later, the developments have been built, but this time flanking either side of the tiny apartment building, with Frank's café now doing a roaring trade as a result of the new employment brought into the area. ===== The adventure begins in the Atlantic Ocean when Freddi Fish visits Grandma Grouper with a gift of flowers.

Brennmeyer has been planning for thirty years to flee local governments and find a place from which to deal lucratively with criminal elements outside of known civilization. They have stolen a quantity of a valuable metal called "krillium" that will enable them to build large numbers of robots that they can sell to the highest bidder. Brennmeyer has compiled extensive data on stars and inhabited planets for many thousands of light-years around, so he feels quite confident that a randomly directed jump through hyperspace shall place them well beyond the reach of the police but within reach of a useful planet. (They will jump randomly because the time required to compute an ordinary jump is long enough that the police would catch them before the computation is complete.) He has engaged Trent to pilot their getaway ship, since he can no longer do so himself. Trent, however, does not wish to share the wealth. He murders Brennmeyer with a knife and flees by himself, confident that the ship's automatic search-and-compare program will locate a usable star and planet for him.

The two are invited to a party by a popular senior, Hunter Calloway, who is the object of Colleen M's affections. The next day at school, the girls' history teacher informs the class that the Nazi Party once had an influence in Winnipeg. Led by the self-proclaimed "Canadian Führer" Adrien Arcand and his right-hand-man, Andronicus Arcane, the Canadian Nazis were once a great force of terror. Arcand was later arrested by Federal authorities, but Andronicus Arcane was never found. Colleen C's father Bob, who owns the Eh-2-Zed, and his girlfriend Tabitha, the store's manager, decide to take a spontaneous trip to Niagara Falls, leaving the girls to run the store on the night of Hunter's party. The Colleens invite Hunter and his friend Gordon Greenleaf to bring the party to the store so that they would not miss out. Colleen M escorts Hunter to the back room at his request, only to discover that Hunter and Gordon are actually Satanists who wish to sacrifice and dismember the Colleens. Before this can occur, an army of little monsters called Bratzis (one-foot-tall Nazis made from bratwurst) attack and kill Hunter and Gordon. Using their yoga skills, the Colleens fight and defeat the Bratzis, but are soon arrested for the murder of Hunter and Gordon. Legendary man-hunter Guy LaPointe, who had an encounter with the Colleens once before, arrives at the police station to interrogate the girls. Having obtained some of his own evidence of the Bratzis, he believes the girls' testimony and wishes to help them prove their innocence. After sneaking them out of the station and taking them back to the Eh-2-Zed, LaPointe and the Colleens are knocked unconscious by the Bratzis. They are taken to an underground lair beneath the store where they find the Bratzis' master, Andronicus Arcane. Arcane reveals to LaPointe and the Colleens that he once had dreams of becoming an artist. After having his work ridiculed by various critics, he decided to become a scientist for the Canadian Nazi movement. The Nazis hid him in the underground lair to create a clone army to conquer Canada and the United States. The clones, made from bratwurst and Arcane's DNA, needed to incubate for 100 years before they were fully grown, so Arcane cryogenically froze himself until the time when he and his clones could rise again. This process was interrupted when a power outage at the Eh-2-Zed 70 years later caused Arcane to thaw and the clones' incubation to stop, rendering them just one foot in height. Learning that the Nazi Party had long since been defeated, Arcane began a new mission to kill all critics as revenge for those that poorly reviewed his early work. He reveals he has constructed a ten-foot-tall goaltender from body parts of the Bratzis' victims to carry out his murderous deeds. This "Goalie Golem" is controlled by the Bratzis who operate it from its insides. No longer wishing to follow Arcane's orders, the Golem kills him and then turns on the Colleens. The Colleens once again use their yoga skills to defeat the Golem and soon after, clear their names. After being dubbed "Hero Clerks" by the media, the Colleens return to their normal lives and end the film with a cover of "O, Canada", accompanied on guitar by Guy LaPointe. ===== The film takes a look at the daily lives of people in more than two dozen countries around the world during the course of a week.

As the train approaches Heaven’s gates, Ms. Merrywood discovers a horseshoe pendant and the condemned souls begin singing hymns (‘’Shovel and Bone’’). In Heaven, God discusses the crisis with his top dog, The Agent. The Agent and The Translators, officers in Heaven’s police force, interrogate Merrywood about her presence and the pendant. In Hell, the Ticket-Keeper warns Lucifer that the carnies are not prepared for a war with Heaven, but Lucifer dismisses him to entertain a cloaked figure. Lucifer opens his book of Aesop’s Fables and reads “The Filly and The Lapdog” to the cloaked person. In flashback, a new crop of Applicants arrive in Heaven, including best friends June and Cora. They are welcomed into Heaven and are offered a tour of the premises (‘’All Aboard (Everybody’s Doing The Ark’’). June defies The Librarian about banned books in Heaven and steals a Number 1 armband from The Designer, who keeps the Number 7s working in a windowless design shop, that starkly contrasts with the grandeur of the Heaven lobby (‘’Only By Design’’). June’s rebellious nature makes her and the reserved Cora wander around Heaven, only to be arrested and interrogated by The Translators (‘’Good Little Dictation Machines’’). The Agent intervenes, and there is a mutual attraction between him and June, which gets him negative press from The Watchword. When God becomes aware of this, he orders The Agent to seduce June to expose her heresy. The Agent brings June to a bar, Club Cloud Seven, where his closeness with God leads him to be invited to sing (‘’Down at the Midnight Rectory’’). God arrives and serenades one of his girlfriends (‘’Cloud Serenade’’). The Agent and June’s relationship continues, always under the watchful eye of The Watchword (‘’The Watchword’s Hour’’). The Watchword confronts Cora, warning her that her lesbian attraction to June is forbidden and illegal in Heaven. The Agent gives June the horseshoe pendant Merrywood will find, telling her the story of Dunstan (needs clarification for relevance), which reignites her curiosity with banned material and she runs off to steal a restricted book. Confident that The Agent’s clout will protect her, she steals a book marked with an apple, suggesting it is the forbidden Book of the Knowledge of Life and Death, setting off an alarm. June is beaten by The Translators and tossed down an elevator shaft leading to Hell. Meanwhile, The Librarian instructs Cora and the other Applicants to denounce June, and spend the rest of the night restoring order by re-shelving Heaven's library with him (‘’Hitting on All Sevens’’). The Librarian tells Cora she will go far in Heaven. June arrives at a weaker, smaller Carnival, with a younger Lucifer and Ticket-Keeper. She flees from The Fool and finds The Twin and asks him for a drink. The Twin obliges as long as she plays a shell game for her pendant. As the game goes on, The Twin shapeshifts into Cora, The Agent, and finally, June herself (‘’Fair Game’’). Upon losing, June wanders into the midway and finds Lucifer, who becomes inspired by her to turn the Carnival into something that can challenge Heaven. He helps her transform into The Painted Doll ("After the Fall"). In the present, Ticket-Keeper rebuffs several plans to attack Heaven from the carnies. The cloaked figure is revealed to be Painted Doll, who will play a role in Lucifer’s war with Heaven. Ticket-Keeper confronts Lucifer about his worries with the Carnival, offering to sacrifice himself for the cause. Lucifer first mocks and then refuses Ticket-Keeper's offer of martyrdom, and these two show a level of loyalty that seems to be an ironic take on the kind of loyalty God demands but does not return. Lucifer and Ticket-Keeper then examine the plans for Hell's War on Heaven. Meanwhile, in Heaven, God dispatches The Agent to face Lucifer and quell the uprising in Hell, giving him a book containing the story “The Filly and the Lapdog". Lucifer has referred to Painted Doll as "filly" and The Agent as "lapdog" throughout the movie and the story describes the relationship between the Agent, June, and the "owner" of these animals, God. The song "Hitting On All Sevens" also refers to the seven levels of angels as seven different kind of animals. God puts on a show for the denizens of Heaven, mocking Lucifer in a parable drawn from the Dust Bowl and Aesop’s Fable “The Swallow and the Other Birds” (‘’Bells of the Black Sunday’’). Meanwhile, The Agent arrives in Hell and finds Painted Doll. She leads him on to give the carnies time to capture and poison him. Lucifer prepares for battle by applying war makeup. God stands in front of a microphone in an empty room, as his servants arm themselves for war. In Heaven, Merrywood, beaten and haggard, transforms, revealing that it has been The Twin all along. The Twin then poses as the Agent returning from his mission (‘’Hoof and Lap/The Devil’s Carnival’’). In a post-credits sequence, The Twin as The Agent serenades God (‘’Songs of Old’’), leaving the future uncertain. ===== A young postman becomes involved in the theft of rare stamps featuring inverted images of the Statue of Liberty.

In the present, Skylar and Dan are celebrating their wedding. Tommy (Johnny Pacar) is shooting a documentary as a favor for Dan. During the wedding, Tommy is in an elevator with Skylar's parents, who are Christian. However, before answering a question, the air turns cold and Skylar's parents suddenly drop dead, with their pupils shrinking to a pin-prick size. When Tommy exits the elevator, he finds the main floor has descended into high chaos, as others have dropped dead with the same pin-prick pupils. As Tommy and Jack (Shaun Sipos) exit the building to investigate a tremor, they find the city up in flames as planes fall from the sky and explode upon impact. When racing back to the building to find a safer way out, an ear-splitting sound, similar to a trumpet, echoes across the building. After this, loud claps of thunder and intense lightning are present. When Tommy, Dan, Skylar and Jack exit the building safely, Skylar theorizes that they are experiencing the Rapture, as the believers are raptured and the non-believers are left behind. Tommy dismisses this, as what he believes what is happening right now is related to science. Skylar then declares that they need to get to a place of safety, as the events will grow worse and worse as time goes on. Afterward, monstrous-sized hail rains down on the town. The four proceed to seek shelter in a library. Tommy encounters Sam (Liz E. Morgan) in the library. Skylar finds a bible and tells Sam, Dan, Jack, and Tommy a verse related to the Rapture, the First Trumpet. The five proceed to go to a nearby church for safety. Nearing the church, a demonic being snatches Skylar out of Dan's grip and they find her on the road but heavily injured by the entity. Upon reaching the church, the group is let in and led to the sanctuary for safety by Pastor Shay (John Pyper-Ferguson). When walking in the church, Jack reunites with Allison (Italia Ricci) while Dan tries to comfort Skylar while she is being healed. When Tommy asks what's going on, Shay explains that they are living in the Rapture. More survivors are let inside the church, but one of them is pregnant. The pregnant woman does give birth, but her baby doesn't show signs of crying or breathing, indicating that the baby is stillborn. When Tommy asks why God kills these people, Shay explains that God raptures the believers' souls while leaving their mortal bodies behind. Shay explains that the reason why he wasn't raptured was that he didn't display real faith in Christianity. A survivor tries to get into the church, only for a demonic being to kill him, while cracking a church window in the process. Sam records Tommy say a message to Allison just in case Tommy doesn't make it. A news article reveals that the Rapture has occurred worldwide, with children, infants and Christians getting raptured, with scientists labeling it as "Instant Death Syndrome" and that unusual weather has been occurring worldwide. Tommy shows Shay, Jack, and Allison a video of Skylar getting snatched by the unknown force, with Shay explaining that the Fifth Trumpet was played. Frame by frame, they see the face of a Fallen. ===== ===== In the jungles of India, Mowgli is a "man-cub" raised by the Indian wolf Raksha and her pack, led by Akela, in an Indian jungle ever since he was brought to them as an infant by the black panther Bagheera. Bagheera trains Mowgli to learn the ways of the wolves, but the boy faces certain challenges and falls behind his wolf siblings, while Akela objects to him using human "tricks", like building tools, instead of learning the ways of the pack. One day, during the dry season, the jungle animals gather to drink the water that remains as part of a truce during a drought that enables the jungle's wildlife to drink without fear of their predators. The truce is disrupted when a fire-scarred and vicious Bengal tiger named Shere Khan arrives, detecting Mowgli's scent in the crowd. Consumed by a vendetta against humans for scarring him with fire, he threatens to kill Mowgli at the end of the drought. After the drought ends, the wolves debate whether or not they should keep Mowgli. Mowgli decides to leave the jungle for the safety of his pack. Bagheera volunteers to guide him to the nearby "man- village". En route, Shere Khan ambushes them, but Mowgli manages to escape amidst a wild water buffalo stampede. Later, Mowgli meets an enormous reticulated python named Kaa, who hypnotizes him. While under her influence, Mowgli sees a vision of his father being killed by Shere Khan while protecting him. Kaa attempts to devour Mowgli, but she is attacked by a himalayan brown bear named Baloo who rescues the unconscious Mowgli. Mowgli later awakens and retrieves some difficult-to-access honey for Baloo as repayment, with the two bonding in the process. Mowgli agrees to stay with Baloo until the winter season arrives. Meanwhile, upon learning that Mowgli has left the jungle, Shere Khan kills Akela and threatens the pack to lure Mowgli out. Bagheera eventually finds Mowgli and Baloo and is shocked that Mowgli has not joined the humans as he had agreed, but Baloo calms him down and persuades both of them to sleep on it. During the night, Mowgli finds a herd of Indian elephants gathered around a ditch and uses vines to save their baby. Although Baloo and Bagheera are impressed, Baloo realizes that he cannot guarantee Mowgli's safety after learning that he is being hunted by Shere Khan. Baloo agrees to push Mowgli away to get him to continue onward to the man village. Mowgli is kidnapped by a gang of monkeys (namely lion-tailed macaques, northern pig- tailed macaques, langurs (Northern plains gray langurs, Gee's golden langurs, and Nilgiri langurs), and Hoolock gibbons that resemble northern white-cheeked gibbons) known as the "Bandar-log", who present him to their leader, a deranged gigantopithecus named King Louie. Assuming that all humans can make "the red flower" (fire), King Louie offers Mowgli protection from Shere Khan in exchange for it. Baloo distracts King Louie while Bagheera tries to sneak Mowgli out, but their ruse is uncovered. As King Louie chases Mowgli through his temple, he informs Mowgli of Akela's death. King Louie's rampage eventually causes his temple to collapse on top of him. Furious that Baloo and Bagheera neglected to tell him about Akela's death, Mowgli goes to confront Shere Khan. He steals a lit torch from the man village and heads back to the jungle, accidentally starting a wildfire in the process. He confronts Shere Khan, who claims that Mowgli has made himself the enemy of the jungle by causing the wildfire. Seeing the wolves' fear of him, Mowgli throws the torch into a river in rage. Baloo, Bagheera, and the wolf pack hold off Shere Khan, giving Mowgli enough time to flee into the burning jungle. But Shere khan defeats all of them single handedly and goes after Mowgli. He lures Shere Khan up a dead tree and onto a branch, which breaks under the tiger's weight, and Shere Khan falls into the fire to his death. Mowgli then directs the elephants to divert the river and put out the fire. In the aftermath, Raksha becomes the new leader of the wolf pack. Mowgli decides to utilize his equipment and tricks for his own use, having found his true home and calling with his wolf family, Baloo, and Bagheera. ===== In 2000, a professor (Sewell) from Toronto goes to Princeton, New Jersey for a conference but doesn't return.

Hazel is now pregnant, and has largely recovered from the death of her daughter; heiress Cayla Bannock (in "Those in Peril"). After a gynecologist visit, the pair set out in separate vehicles for their English estate. An ambush occurs and, while Hector kills the pair of gunmen attacking his wife's vehicle, Hazel is badly wounded from a bullet wound to the head. Rushed to hospital, their baby daughter, named Catherine Cayla Bannock-Cross, is saved by caesarean section. Hazel dies of brain damage the next day. Hector believes the murder is the result of the blood feud from surviving members of the family of Hadji Sheikh Mohammed Khan Tippoo Tip (the engineer of Cayla's kidnapping, killed in "Those in Peril"). A second attempt is then made on Catherine and Hector's lives when a pair of hired thugs use white phosphorus grenades to burn down Hector's estate. The thugs are captured by Hector's security personnel and enough details of their employer are provided to identify him, but he is killed by Hector without giving up his employer (to save the life of one of his team). Tracking down the new Tip Clan leader, Aazim Muktar, in Mecca, Hector secures Catherine in a fortress atop a skyscraper in Abu Zara. Hector then slips into Mecca to confront Muktar, only to learn he’s a peaceful holy man. Determined to identify the true villain, Hector investigates the business interests and past associates of Hazel and her first deceased husband and Bannock Oil's founder, Henry Bannock. Also at this time, Hector begins to accept his loss and move onto a relationship with lawyer Jo Stanley. Jo's boss, Ronnie Bunter, Henry's old friend and Bannock Family Trust lawyer, gives Hector the details of the destruction of the entire Bannock family, in a novel written by Ronnie on Carl Peter Bannock, Henry's stepson (briefly mentioned in "Those in Peril"). Carl was born Karl Pieter Kurtmeyer, his biological father Heinrich was a German Gestapo officer, and despite being an acknowledged genius, no one was aware he was a cruel, twisted, sadistic monster. Henry married Carl's mother, Marlena, and takes both her and her son into his home and family, with Carl eventually becoming a company director and Henry's heir at Bannock Oil. Secretly, Carl sexually groomed his half-sister, Sacha, and eventually the abuse drove her insane, but the truth is uncovered by his younger half-sister, Bryoni, who secures Sacha's testimony on record. Carl is infuriated at being discovered and assaults and rapes Bryoni, only for the Bannock family staff to stop him and have him arrested by the police. With his history of abuse of his sisters publicly exposed, Carl's personal and professional life is destroyed by a public trial, which has him imprisoned in Texas on all charges for many years. Applying his genius to his desire for revenge, and retaining his status as a Bannock Trust beneficiary, Carl befriends and begins a torrid sexual relationship with Johnny Congo, aka King John Tembo Kikuu of Kazundu, originally a refugee of African royalty, now a psychopathic ex-U.S. Marine and crime lord on death row for dozens of homicides. Using Johnny's connections and his own wealth, Carl has a gang of Mexican pirates break into the tropical estate of his mother and sisters, drown Marlena for her abandonment of him, and subjects Sacha and Bryoni to a horrific fate - Carl sells them to a South American brothel, where they endure countless rapes, beatings and heroin injections, both during the journey and endlessly upon arrival. Sacha dies of illness, and Bryoni is crippled and eaten alive by a pack of wild pigs. This is all retained on video at Carl's direction, which is then sent anonymously to Ronnie and shown to Henry. Henry, at this point married to Hazel and father to Cayla, is ailing due to age, bad health and worry of his missing daughters. The horrific scenes on the video cause Henry to suffer a fatal stroke, exactly as Carl designed. Hazel is then left to run Bannock Oil. Carl is released from prison after serving his full sentence, and, knowing he cannot stay in the United States or modern society due to his crimes, engineers Johnny’s escape, and the two psychopaths restore Johnny to his African throne in the Congo. Establishing a kingdom of gluttony and sadistic murder, Johnny is a tyrannical king and Carl acts as his prime minister. Carl learns of Cayla's beheading in "Those in Peril", and this motivates him to have Johnny give the order to have Hazel killed. With the death of Hazel, Catherine is now the final heir, and Hector realizes Carl is the one who wants her eliminated. With Carl and Johnny's activities facing investigation from the U.S. government, Hector gathers Jo and his team and marshals them to attack and destroy Johnny's kingdom. Johnny is knocked out and captured, while Hector cripples Carl and ignores his sadistic pleas of innocence and offers of bribes. Despite Jo's protests against killing the defenseless Carl, Hector enacts vengeance for Hazel and the Bannock family - Carl is thrown into his own crocodile pit and eaten alive. To prove his love to Jo, however, Hector agrees to turn over Johnny to the U.S. Marshals Service, so they can return him to prison for execution. Hector, however, does make a point of punching Johnny in the face after he shouts he gave the order to have Hazel killed at Carl's direction. Believing the threat to Catherine is now totally removed, Hector and Jo receive the news Johnny attacked and killed three of his guards and escaped. Jo, knowing Hector blames her for stopping him from killing Johnny when he had the chance, and not wanting any further part in his extra-legal lifestyle, leaves him. Hector is left on his own with his daughter, planning to hunt down Johnny. ===== A home movie is shown depicting a family being hung up like scarecrows with sacks over their heads in a cornfield and burned alive.

However, Zach survived being hit and cuts off the fingers of the Deputy's left hand with a sickle. Inside the home, the ghost children try to help Zach find them. Just as Zach is about to kill Courtney and Dylan, the Deputy manages to break the camera, thwarting Zach's home movie and breaking the cycle. Zach tries to find another camera, but he is shamed by the ghost children for failing to kill his family. Without an object to influence living children and earn souls for Bughuul, they are now trapped in the spirit realm. Bughuul appears and places his hand on Zach's shoulder, causing Zach to decay and burst into flames. The house catches on fire as the Deputy, Courtney, and Dylan escape.

Working as a limo driver in El Paso, Texas, under his birth name James Howlett, he and mutant tracker Caliban care for 90-year-old Charles Xavier, Logan's mentor and founder of the X-Men, in an abandoned smelting plant in northern Mexico. Xavier has developed dementia that causes him to have destructive seizures; it is alluded that one year prior, one such seizure released a powerful wave of telepathy that injured over six hundred people and killed seven people, including several X-Men. Logan reluctantly agrees to escort Gabriela Lopez, a former nurse for biotechnology corporation Alkali-Transigen, and a young girl called Laura to Eden, a refuge "up north" across the border. Later finding Gabriela dead, Logan is confronted at his Mexican hideout by her killer Donald Pierce, who is Transigen's cyborg chief of security. Pierce is looking for Laura, who has stowed away in Logan's limo and has powers similar to his. She, Logan, and Xavier escape Pierce and his Reavers, but Caliban is tortured into tracking Laura. A video on Gabriela's cellphone shows that Transigen created Laura and other children from mutant DNA to become weapons; Laura was created from Logan's DNA. As they proved difficult to control and Transigen found an alternative, the children were to be killed, but Gabriela and other nurses helped some escape. In Oklahoma City, Logan discovers that Eden appears in Laura's X-Men comic and tells her it is fictional. The Reavers arrive, but Xavier has a seizure which incapacitates everyone except Logan and Laura, who kill the attackers and inject Xavier with his medication. As they flee, Dr. Zander Rice (the head of Transigen) arrives to help Pierce. Logan, Laura, and Xavier help farmer Will Munson and his family after a traffic incident, accepting an offer of dinner at their home, where Logan drives off enforcers from a corporate farm. Rice unleashes X-24, a clone of Logan in his prime and his alternative to the child program, who murders Will's family and Xavier, stabbing Will and capturing Laura. He also kills the enforcers, who mistake him as Logan and try to kill him. Caliban sets off grenades, killing himself and several Reavers, but only injuring Pierce. Logan is outmatched by X-24, but Will pins X-24 with his truck and shoots him three times with a shotgun before dying from his injuries. Logan and Laura escape with Xavier's body. After burying Xavier, Logan passes out. Laura takes him to a doctor and persuades him to prove that the site in North Dakota is not Eden. There, they find Rictor and other Transigen children preparing to cross into Canada. Laura finds an adamantium bullet that Logan has kept since his escape from the Weapon X facility, which he once considered using to commit suicide. Logan decides that his job is done and chooses not to accompany them, to Laura's dismay. When the Reavers ambush the children, Logan takes an overdose of a serum given to him by Rictor that temporarily enhances his healing abilities and boosts his strength. With Laura's help, he slaughters most of the Reavers before the serum wears off. As Pierce holds Rictor at gunpoint Rice tells Logan, who killed Rice's father years ago at the Weapon X facility, that no new mutants have been born due to genetically engineered crops created by Transigen and distributed through the world's food supply. Logan, having found a gun, shoots Rice and injures Pierce. X-24, enraged by Rice's death, fights Logan as the children combine their powers to kill Pierce and the remaining Reavers. Rictor uses his powers to flip a truck onto X-24, but he frees himself and impales Logan on a large tree branch. Laura loads Logan's revolver with the adamantium bullet and shoots X-24 in the head, killing him. Near death, Logan tells Laura not to become the weapon that she was made to be, and after she tearfully acknowledges him as her father, he dies peacefully in her arms. Laura and the children bury Logan, and Laura tilts the cross on his grave marker to create an X, honoring him as the last of the X-Men, before she and the children depart for the Canadian border. ===== Engaged couple Albert Bennett (Bert Wheeler) and Alice Cook (Dorothy Lee) plan on leaving the city where they both live, in order to build their dream house in the country. They visit the site of their future home, both before, and while it is only the foundation, and later during its continued construction. The happiness over the new foundation soon dissolves as Albert and Alice start to argue about the floor plan, particularly the intended use of one unused upstairs room, whether it should be used as a den for him - "where I can flick cigar ashes all over, and there's no kick coming" or a fully equipped sewing room for Alice. This problem is made worse when dozens of Alice’s family members come to help, each offering different opinions for Alice's proposed use of the room in the new house. Albert’s bachelor uncle/employer George (Robert McWade) comes to inspect the house, during which time he mentions with great enthusiasm the recent return of a young woman named Minnie, the daughter of a friend of his, who had sent her off to Europe, "finishing her" as in finishing her cultural education, and apparently doing everything extremely well. Uncle George, when he mentions her to Albert, described her desirable virtues to him, and asks if Albert would be able to break off his engagement to Alice honorably, in favor of pursuing a relationship with Minnie. This of course, is immediately, but tactfully refused, with an attempt at describing Alice's virtues in a similarly positive light. Then Uncle George, in debating his own living circumstances with Albert, and Albert's best friend, Frank Andrews (Hallam Cooley) also offered to pay for it, in exchange for living with the newlywed couple on its completion. Alice’s family vehemently opposes, during which time Uncle George again brings up Minnie as someone Albert really should come to see, but another rebuff causes the offended George to fire Albert. Due to his apparent connection with another woman, at least as she hears her mentioned, Alice calls off their engagement, handing her engagement ring back to Albert, and suggesting tearfully that it might fit Minnie. Time passes, and the unemployed and single Albert completes the house himself, along with the assistance of local townsfolk who hear of his predicament, and decides to sell it. Alice returns to see the now completed house and she and Albert reconcile. A now happily married George (to Minnie no less, who unknown to Alice, came to see the house as it was listed for sale in the paper, in the same horse-drawn jitney in which Alice traveled there) returns and rehires Albert, and buys the house, only to give it to the new couple as a wedding gift. ===== Arisu, Karube, and Segawa, a trio of highschool delinquents, are bored with their current lives.

Elsewhere, Juri's childhood friend Shiori Takatsuki tells Touga that as a child, her "prince" died attempting to save a drowning girl. They receive a phone call from Akio, who says that Anthy is a witch who made the lord of the flies into a prince, but when her magic faded, the prince returned to his true form; the duels are organized in an attempt to reactivate her magic.

The plot is loosely based on Jules Verne's 1873 novel Around the World in Eighty Days. The year is 1872 and Monsieur Phileas Fogg has placed a wager at the Reform Club that he can circumnavigate the world in eighty days or less. The game follows the course of this adventure, as narrated by Phileas Fogg's manservant Passepartout, whose actions and decisions are controlled by the player. After leaving London on an underwater train to Paris or a mail carriage to Cambridge, the player can choose their own route around the world, travelling from city to city. Each city and journey contains unique narrative content. The developers estimate that on one complete circumnavigation of the globe players will see approximately 2% of the game's 750,000 words of textual content. In their role as valet, players must manage finances, their master's health, and time as well as buying and selling items in different markets around the globe. The choices made by the player in story sections can also have a large impact on how the journey proceeds. The game has several secrets, Easter Eggs and hidden endings, as well as several references to Verne's works, including Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and From the Earth to the Moon. The game is also partly inspired by the steampunk genre, featuring such elements as sapient mechanical transport, hovercraft, submersibles and an entire city that walks on four gigantic legs. ===== In the XVIII century in Scotland, the McArden and Glowan clans stood a violent and long hostility.

Dr. Sienna Brooks, the doctor tending to him, reveals that he is suffering from amnesia as a result of a bullet wound to the head. An orderly says the police are there to question Langdon but the officer turns out to be Vayentha, an assassin, who shoots the orderly while coming up the hallway. Brooks helps Langdon to escape, and they flee to her apartment. Among Langdon's personal belongings, Langdon and Brooks find a Faraday pointer, a miniature image projector with a modified version of Sandro Botticelli's Map of Hell, which itself is based on Dante's Inferno. They soon realize this is the first clue in a trail left by Bertrand Zobrist, a dangerously unstable villain who believed that rigorous measures were necessary to reduce the Earth's growing population, and who committed suicide three days earlier after being chased by armed government agents. Langdon and Brooks figure out that Zobrist, who was obsessed with Dante, has created a fictional superweapon he has dubbed "Inferno", with the potential of annihilating half the world's population. In the meantime, they have been traced by both Vayentha and government agents, who try to raid the apartment, forcing them to flee again. The government agents are headed by Elizabeth Sinskey, an old lover of Langdon's. Vayentha reports to her employer Harry Sims, the CEO of a private security company called "The Consortium", who is acting on behalf of Zobrist, who gives her instructions to kill Langdon as he had become a liability. Langdon's knowledge of Dante's work and history, and of hidden passages in Florence, allows the two to follow clues such as letters and phrases which lead to various locations in Florence and Venice, while inadvertently killing Vayentha and evading the agents. Along the way, Langdon discovers that he helped a friend of his steal and hide the Dante death mask, a crucial clue, an event he also does not remember. Zobrist had provided Sims with a video message about the attack, to be broadcast after it has been released. Shocked by its content, Sims allies with Sinskey to prevent the outbreak. However, Langdon and Brooks are contacted by Christoph Bouchard, a man purporting to be working for the government, warning them that Sinskey has a double agenda and is after the Inferno for her own profit. The three cooperate for a while, until Langdon realizes that Bouchard is lying and seeking to profit from Inferno himself, forcing the duo to flee on their own again. Langdon figures out that the attack is in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. With that knowledge, Brooks abandons Langdon, revealing that she was Zobrist's lover and that she will ensure the release of the weapon. Zobrist and Brooks used to play treasure hunt games; this trail was the backup plan in case something happened to Zobrist. Langdon is recaptured by Bouchard, but Sims kills Bouchard and rescues Langdon, who then re-teams with Sinskey, who asked him for help in interpreting the imagery from the Faraday pointer. Sims reveals he was hired by Brooks to kidnap Langdon when Zobrist had been killed, and drugged with benzodiazepine to induce a memory loss; the events in the hospital were all staged. They realize the weapon is in a plastic bag hidden under water in the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul. The agents team - joined by Langdon, Sims, and Sinskey - race to locate and secure the bag, while Brooks and her allies attempt to detonate an explosive that will rupture the bag and aerosolize the weapon. Sims is killed by Brooks, and when Langdon confronts her, she attempts to release the weapon by triggering a suicide bombing. The detonation is able to rupture the bag but because it was already trapped in a special containment unit, the weapon was secured in time, and after struggling in vain against Sinskey and Langdon to destroy the container, Brooks' allies are killed. The weapon is then taken, and Langdon goes back to Florence in order to return the Dante Death Mask. ===== Sweety (Rakul Preet Singh) is a college-going student.

Her searches throughout the city are not successful and no one can help her. Memories of the past come in the form of dreams and bestow upon her guidance and hope; all alone, in a mysterious and abandoned place, she finds the travel difficult. The windows and doors of the city's buildings are all open and the city is almost entirely silent, a silence violated only by the sounds coming out of a film theater in which the protagonist finds herself at one instance. However, the reigning silence is only an appearance, for at times the city comes alive and becomes a dangerous place. Carelessness and gullibility can cost lives. The woman finally meets a lonely man in despair, employed as a guard, eventually finding with him the ultimate link between love and death (a theme which Nikolaidis explored in his later films). ===== A Jewish nobleman, Judah Ben-Hur, and his adopted Roman brother Messala are best friends despite their different origins. Messala enlists in the Roman army and fights in the Roman Empire's wars in Germany. Ben-Hur also develops feelings for the family slave Esther although their different station in life compels him not to pursue her. But when her father Simonides seeks to marry her off to a Roman, Ben-Hur declares his love for her and takes her as his wife. Three years later, Messala returns as a decorated Roman officer. His return coincides with a rising insurrection by the Zealots, Jews who are opposed to the oppressive nature of Roman rule. Ben-Hur treats and shelters a young Zealot youth named Dismas. Messala reunites with Ben-Hur and attempts to convince his adoptive brother to serve as an informant. Following a reunion dinner with Ben-Hur and his family, Messala informs them that a new Roman governor Pontius Pilate will be taking residence in Jerusalem. Days later, Pontius Pilate marches into Jerusalem with Ben-Hur and his family watching from a balcony. Dismas attempts to assassinate Pilate and in retaliation, the Romans storm Ben-Hur's household and arrest him and his family. Rather than betray a fellow Jew, Ben-Hur takes responsibility for the assassination attempt. His mother and sister are sentenced to be crucified. Ben-Hur and Messala fall out with each other. While being led to the prison galley, Ben-Hur encounters Jesus, who fetches him some water. Ben- Hur endures five years of slavery as a rower aboard a Roman prison galley under the command of Quintus Arius.

He is washed ashore and is found by Sheik Ilderim, who recognizes him as an escaped slave.

Ben-Hur and Sheik Ilderim later travel to Jerusalem to take part in a grand chariot race at the newly built Roman circus. Jesus' preaching ministry draws the attention of governor Pilate and Messala, who is now the commander of the Roman garrison and a champion chariot racer. While visiting Jerusalem, Ben-Hur encounters Esther, who has become a follower of Jesus and is involved in charity work. Esther tells Ben-Hur that his mother and sister are dead, and despite their reunion, the two are kept emotionally apart due to her new cause, which is contrary to his insistence on seeking revenge against Messala. Ben-Hur later confronts Messala alone in their former home but is forced to flee when Roman soldiers turn up. After the Romans execute twenty Jews in reprisal, Esther completely falls out with Ben-Hur. Sheik Ilderim instructs Ben-Hur in chariot racing techniques. Later, Ben-Hur encounters a former Roman soldier named Druses, who informs him that his mother Naomi and sister Tirzah are still alive. However, their reunion is soured when Ben-Hur discovers his mother and sister have leprosy, the former also appearing to have lost her memory. Sheik Ilderim bribes Pilate into allowing Ben-Hur to compete by proposing a high wager. Esther tries to convince Messala not to race Ben-Hur, but he is adamant that he will win. On the day of the race, Ben-Hur follows Ilderim's instructions to hold back from the race until the final laps. Using dirty tactics, Messala manages to knock out the other competing charioteers. Following a brutal and grueling race, Ben-Hur wins the race. Messala survives but is badly wounded and loses a leg. Ben-Hur's victory emboldens the Jewish spectators and yields dividends for Ilderim.

A severe dust storm threatens to topple their Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV). The mission is scrubbed, but as the crew evacuates, astronaut Mark Watney is struck by debris and lost in the storm. The telemetry from his suit's biomonitor is damaged and Watney is wrongly presumed dead. With the MAV on the verge of toppling, the surviving crew takes off for their orbiting vessel, the Hermes. Watney awakens after the storm, injured and with a low-oxygen warning. He returns to the crew's surface habitat ("Hab") and treats his wound. As Watney recovers, he begins a video diary. Lacking communication with Earth, his only chance of rescue is via the next Mars mission, four years later: the Ares IV will be landing away at the Schiaparelli crater. Watney's immediate concern is food; being the mission's botanist, he improvises a garden inside the Hab using Martian soil fertilized with the crew's bio-waste, and manufactures water from leftover rocket fuel. He then plants the crew's unused potatoes. He also begins modifying the rover for the distance trek to the Ares IV landing site. On Earth, NASA satellite planner Mindy Park, reviewing aerial Hab images, notices moved equipment and realizes Watney is alive. NASA director Teddy Sanders publicly releases the news, though the Ares III crew (still en route to Earth) are not told so that they remained focused on their mission. Sanders overrules Hermes flight director Mitch Henderson, who believes the crew should know. Watney takes the rover to retrieve the nearby Pathfinder probe, which fell silent in 1997. Using Pathfinders camera and motor, he establishes rudimentary two-way communication with Earth, first using hand-written signs, and then sending and receiving ASCII in hexadecimal. NASA transmits a software patch to link the rover with Pathfinder and communicate via text. Watney is angry that the Hermes crew is unaware that he is alive. Sanders finally allows Henderson to inform them. Mars mission director, Vincent Kapoor, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) director Bruce Ng prepare an Iris space probe to deliver enough food for Watney to survive until Ares IV's arrival. Meanwhile, the Hab's airlock malfunctions, killing the potato plants and sterilizing the soil. Believing it a low risk, Sanders orders the routine pre-flight safety inspections be bypassed to expedite the probe's launch. The rocket explodes soon after liftoff. Watney now believes his death on Mars is inevitable. The China National Space Administration has been developing a classified booster rocket, the Taiyang Shen. Feeling camaraderie with NASA's scientists, they sought a way to work around official barriers and offer to repeat the Iris mission. As Watney's situation grows riskier as time passes, JPL astrodynamicist Rich Purnell devises an alternative plan: have the Taiyang Shen rendezvous with and resupply the Hermes, which will then use Earth's gravity to "slingshot" back to Mars two years earlier than Ares IV. Sanders rejects the idea, considering it too risky for the Hermes crew. Henderson surreptitiously sends Purnell's plan to the crew; they unanimously vote to implement it, disabling NASA's remote controls and making the course change. Powerless to stop them, NASA concedes the issue. Watney begins the 90-sol journey to Schiaparelli, where the MAV for Ares IV has been pre-positioned. The MAV needs to be lightened to intercept with Hermes on its new course. Watney removes many components, and replaces the nose cone with canvas. After takeoff, the MAV fails to reach the required speed. Commander Lewis maneuvers the Hermes to decelerate by using the spacecraft's RCS system. She also orders a directional explosive decompression of the internal atmosphere to better align the ship. In a Manned Maneuvering Unit, Lewis is unable to reach Watney when the tether falls short. Watney pierces his pressure suit, using the escaping air to propel himself to Lewis. He and the crew are reunited after Mark's 560 sols alone on Mars. After returning to Earth, Watney becomes a survival instructor for astronaut candidates. Five years later, as the Ares V (commanded by Martinez) is about to launch, those involved in Watney's rescue are seen in their current lives. ===== As described in a film magazine, Wolf Larsen (Beery), captain of the sealing steamer The Ghost, receives a severe blow to his head in a fight with his brother Death Larsen (Gordon) on the day he is to sail.

In the meantime, Irisa proceeds with her plan and by using stones and dirt, she controls the Arks that are in space and leads them to New York. She destroys and terraforms the city while Nolan goes and finds Cai, the only person who can stop Irisa. ===== Nolan (Grant Bowler) forces Cai (Robin Dunne) to go with him so they can stop Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) who continues with Irzu's plan to destroy the planet. Cai explains to Nolan that since Irisa kissed him, he has visions of a past life or from their ancestors and how they stopped the Kaziri. Nolan figures out that to be able to stop Irisa, they have to separate the two keys which are both inside Irisa. Datak (Tony Curran) returns home and finds Pilar (Linda Hamilton) talking with Stahma (Jaime Murray). Pilar wants Christie (Nicole Muñoz) and Alak (Jesse Rath) to go and live with her for a while but Stahma disagrees with her, making the two women argue.

The gloating from his friends Jack and Nancy Peterson about a family trip they had in Paris doesn't help his situation. He desires to relive the fun of his family vacations and holiday gatherings from his childhood. These memories prompt him to abandon his family's annual trip to their cabin in Cheboygan, Michigan (which the rest of the family secretly hated) and instead drive cross country from Chicago to Walley World, just like he did with his parents and sister. For the trip, Rusty rents a Tartan Prancer, an ugly, over-complicated Albanian SUV. Along the way, the Griswolds take many detours. The first is Memphis, where it's revealed that the otherwise mild-mannered Debbie was an extremely promiscuous Tri Pi sorority sister in college nicknamed 'Debbie Do Anything' when they meet a sorority member named Heather. To prove that she was the rebellious student, Debbie soon runs an obstacle course whilst drunk and fails miserably. While staying at a motel, James meets Adena, a girl his age that he saw while driving on the highway, but she is scared away by Rusty's failed attempts to be a "wingman". In Arkansas, they are led to a supposedly hidden hot spring by a "helpful" local, eventually realizing that it's actually a sewage dump. They return to their SUV, only to see it's been broken into, their luggage and cash stolen, and then sprayed with graffiti. They stop in Texas to get help from Rusty's sister Audrey and her husband Stone. Rusty begins to suspect problems in his relationship with Debbie due to her seeming acceptance of Stone's obviously outward sexual advances, but she rebuffs his suspicions. One night, Stone walks in on the couple and makes a show of his attractive body and oversized genitalia.

Rusty's misunderstanding of the key fob causes it to explode, leading Rusty to think about the disastrous trip and walks off dispirited and alone. After being tracked down by a seemingly unstable truck driver, who they think has been stalking them throughout the trip, he instead returns Debbie's missing wedding ring and gives them a lift to San Francisco. In San Francisco, they spend the night at a bed and breakfast run by Rusty's parents Clark and Ellen. They intend to fly home the next day, but Rusty and Debbie confront each other about their stale marriage and decide to start over again. With some encouragement from Clark the next morning, Rusty borrows his father's Wagon Queen Family Truckster and drives Debbie and the boys to Walley World to ride their newest roller coaster, the Velociraptor. After spending the entire day waiting in line, they are cut off by Ethan, a rival from Rusty's job, and his family before the announcement of the park's closing. A fight breaks out, which the Griswolds win, forcing the other family to flee. The Griswolds finally board the ride, but it stalls halfway up a loop, and they are rescued after several hours. Rusty uses his airline connections to book a vacation in Paris alone with Debbie, while sending the boys home where their neighbors will look after them. On the plane to Paris, they are seated in jump seats next to a lavatory. Exasperated, Debbie learns that it will be a 12-hour flight. ===== "My Voice, My Life" follows an unlikely group of misfit students from four Hong Kong schools cast together for a musical theater performance.

Radmann is determined to bring Schulz to justice, but finds his efforts frustrated because of the many former Nazis who are serving in government and looking out for one another. Radmann's boss, the prosecutor-general Fritz Bauer, puts him in charge of investigating former workers at the Auschwitz camp. The U.S. occupation forces give him access to their files, and he discovers there were 8,000 workers. He goes after Josef Mengele, who lives in Argentina, but flies back to West Germany to visit his family. After the authorities block Radmann's attempt to issue an arrest warrant, his boss warns him off and orders him to concentrate on lower- profile suspects.

The events depicted reportedly precede Star Trek: The Original Series by two decades, with the war's opening battle at Arcanis IV, a prosperous Federation colony along the Klingon border. The Klingons, who did not consider the Federation to be a worthy adversary, maintained the initiative for the first six months of the war, with a number of victories under the leadership of their supreme commander, Kharn. The Vulcan diplomatic delegation under Ambassador Soval (who appeared on Star Trek: Enterprise), overseeing negotiations with the Klingons, are left with little room to maneuver. In response to the losses suffered in the war, Starfleet appoints a new Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Marcus Ramirez, who pledges in a fleet-wide broadcast to defend "the dream of the Federation" against the Klingons' commitment to its destruction. Ramirez oversees the creation of the Ares-class cruisers, Starfleet's first warships, to counter the Klingons' mainstay, the D6 battlecruiser. The introduction of the Ares turns the tide against the Klingons, who begin to give Starfleet its due as a worthy opponent, and particularly take notice of Garth of Izar (who appeared in "Whom Gods Destroy"), the captain of the prototype USS Ares. To counter the Ares cruisers, the Klingons order the construction of a newer and more advanced battlecruiser, the D7, that would restore the Klingons' technical and military advantage. In response, Starfleet begins developing their own next-generation heavy cruiser, the Constitution-class, but construction falls behind schedule. To gain more time to finish their new heavy cruiser, Starfleet approves a plan proposed by Garth to fight the Klingons at Axanar, the planet where Kharn's spies have reported the Constitution prototypes (revealed to be the Constitution and the Enterprise) are being built. The narrative concludes shortly before the battle at Axanar, when the first three D7s enter the war, leaving the audience to wonder what actually happened in the battle itself. ===== In 1999, Dolores Rodriguez (Liza Colón-Zayas) puts up posters for her missing son, Hector.

While they are in the subway, a man in a red baseball cap points out that David has dropped a $20 bill and when David picks it up, the man grabs Wyatt and takes him onto the train. After the train leaves, David goes up to the street to call 911. Detectives Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Nick Amaro (Danny Pino) arrive on scene and Benson recognises the neighborhood and remembers Hector Rodriguez's disappearance. After receiving conflicting eyewitness statements, the detectives initially suspect Laurie or David, as they are in a custody battle. David later reveals that he and Wyatt went to a café, and the waitress (Madison McKinley) remembers seeing a man that matches the suspect. Detectives Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish), Fin Tutuola (Ice-T) and John Munch (Richard Belzer) question a shopkeeper (Ramsey Faragallah) who saw Wyatt with a man in a red baseball cap. The man bought hair dye and Munch recognises the M.O. is the same as Hector's kidnapper. The detectives start to believe that Wyatt and Hector's cases are linked. Benson and Amaro speak with Hector's mother and learn that she received a letter from police officer Steve Lomatin (Alex Karpovsky), who found Hector's lunchbox. When Lomatin later finds Wyatt's baseball cap, he is brought in for questioning. Lomatin shows Rollins and Fin his archive, explaining that there is a connection between the disappearance of young boys and fires in their neighborhood shortly after. Lomatin believes that the kidnapper is placing the bodies of the boys in old buildings and then setting them on fire to hide the evidence. Rollins finds that there were no fires after Hector disappeared, but a nearby building had its basement floor concreted after a flood. Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek) gives the order to dig up the floor and Hector's body is found. Upon learning that his father owns the building that Hector's body was found in, David helps the detectives locate the building manager, Lewis Hoda (Tom Sizemore), who he is in a dispute with. The detectives bring Lewis in for questioning. He admits to setting the building fires and Amaro eventually gets him to confess to kidnapping Wyatt.

He spots an ad for fishing season and tells his cat about it but first he makes him guess what they'll be having for dinner tomorrow; the cat asks if it's chicken and Porky replies that it isn't, making the cat disappointed. Porky then tells the cat that it's fish; hearing this, the cat parades around the house, bouncing off the walls and pauses to pull a mouse out of its hole and kisses it. Porky's canary sees this and declares "Well, now I've seen everything!". He pulls out a gun and commits suicide–allegedly this is the first cartoon to feature this popular trope. That night, the cat is having trouble sleeping so he takes a bottle of sleeping pills which contains a mallet–he hits himself with it, knocking himself out. The next day, they go down to the fishing hole and spot a flying fish that is literally flying out of the pond. The cat knocks out the fish with a swipe of his claws and picks it up; Porky says, "Well, Pussy, it looks like we're having fish for di-di-di- supper!" The fish regains consciousness and says "That's what you think, chum!", while laughing hysterically and honking the cat's nose. The flying fish skids through the water, laughing all the way, and dives back into the lake. The cat looks for the fish while sticking his face underwater; the fish punches the cat's nose like a punching bag and, climbing on the cat's back and playing his tail like a cello, he taunts the cat and knocks him into the water. The fish torments Porky and makes him think that he caught him, but he goes up and down like a yo-yo on Porky's fishing line. Meanwhile, the cat recovers, and the fish tells the audience, "Hey, gang, get a load of this!". The fish dives into the water sideways, making his fin look like a shark's; Porky tells the cat to look out, but the cat sees this and grabs the fish by the fin, only to realize that he is now holding a real shark. The cat and Porky run off into the distance; the shark turns to the audience and says, "pussy cats is de cwaziest peoples!" The shark laughs while the cartoon irises out. ===== Cattle rustler and stagecoach hold-up man Tom Jordan and his gang have been terrorizing the ranchers and other citizens of Mason City.

Meanwhile, Hikaru Sulu reunites with his family, Montgomery Scott works to keep the ship operational, and Spock and Nyota Uhura have ended their relationship; Spock also receives word from New Vulcan that Ambassador Spock has died. Enterprise is dispatched on a rescue mission after an escape pod drifts out of a nearby uncharted nebula. Its occupant, Kalara, claims her ship is stranded on Altamid, a planet in the nebula. A massive swarm of small ships ambushes and quickly begins to tear the Enterprise apart. The swarm's leader, Krall, and his crew board the crippled Enterprise, capture and kill many crew members, and attempt to capture the Abronath, a relic recovered during a recent mission. Kirk orders the crew to abandon ship, leaving the remains of the Enterprise saucer section to crash on Altamid. On the planet, Krall captures Sulu, Uhura, and other survivors. Kirk and Pavel Chekov, accompanied by Kalara, locate the Enterprises saucer section. Knowing that Kalara knew they would be attacked, they trick her into revealing herself as Krall's spy. She is killed when Kirk and Chekov escape Krall's soldiers and flip the Enterprise saucer on Kalara. Elsewhere on the planet, Dr. Leonard McCoy and a wounded Spock search for other survivors. Spock explains to McCoy that the tension he witnessed between him and Uhura at Yorktown was due to his intention to leave Starfleet to help the Vulcan survivors, and continue the late Ambassador Spock's work. Jaylah, a scavenger who previously escaped Krall's encampment where her father was killed, rescues Scott and takes him to her makeshift home, the grounded , an early Starfleet vessel reported missing over a century earlier.

A pre-Federation human soldier, Edison rejected the Federation's principles of unity and cooperation with former enemies like the Xindi and the Romulans. When he and his crew were stranded on Altamid by a wormhole, the survivors used the extinct natives' technology to prolong their lives at the cost of the others, and re-purposed the ancient race's dormant drone workers into the swarm. Thinking the Federation had abandoned them, Edison planned to destroy the Federation and resume galactic conflict. Kirk pursues Edison into Yorktowns ventilation system, where Edison activates the bioweapon. Before it can spread, Kirk ejects it and Edison into space, where the weapon disintegrates Edison. Using an alien ship they commandeered, Spock and McCoy save Kirk moments before he is also blown into space. In the aftermath, Commodore Paris closes the files of Captain Edison and the USS Franklin crew.

In London, several months after the outcome of the case of the Yellow Mark, four admirers of Professor Septimus (Lieutenant McFarlane, Lady Rowana, banker Oscar Balley, and Professor Evangely) prepare to revive his work in secret. Lady Rowana is the first of two female protagonists to have a speaking part in Jacobs' publications. The second female protagonist would later appear in Jacobs' 'The Time Trap'. Colonel Olrik finds refuge in the Chinese establishment of Miss Lilly Sing, where he begins to inject himself with morphine to forget his tormented past with Septimus. During one of his panic attacks, Olrik sees Professor Septimus demanding the return of his guinea pig, Olrik. In the Centaur Club, Captain Francis Blake of MI5 is warned by his deputy Millovitch, from the Home Office, that a mad man is wandering around King's Cross station. Blake and Millovitch, along with their polices forces, locate the mad man. When the police encircle him, the mad man is suddenly struck by an electric shock. Meanwhile, Professor Philip Mortimer switches on the electric power in his laboratory in Newham, where he has rebuilt the Telecephaloscope. The Telecephaloscope was invented by Septimus. Professor Philip hopes to perfect the Telecephaloscope in order to place it at the service of psychiatry. Philip's faithful servant, Nasir, disapproves of his plans for this machine. After Professor Philip leaves the laboratory, the machine turns itself on, and Nasir sees a disturbing shape emerging from it. The next day, Blake gets furious when he learns about the nature of Mortimer's research. Busy with another matter, he asks the professor to accompany him to the interrogation of the first mad man found near King's Cross. They discover that he escaped from Bedlam Hospice where Major Banks and his men were cared for. The mad man begins to recite a litany, Mortimer recognizes the words as the litanies of Septimus's victims. Afterwards, in the street, Blake and Mortimer become victims of attempted murder by a driver whose lifeless body was found surrounded by arcs before catching fire. Plagued by a bad feeling, Mortimer returned to his laboratory. Here, Nasir tells him about the disturbing shape that he saw emerging underneath the machine; he saw Septimus' spectrum coming out of the Telecephaloscope. Meanwhile, Professor Septimus, who was brought back by the Telecephaloscope, quietly walks through Bloomsbury in search of his next guinea pig. Mr. Kim Ku-Dum, a former interrogator of the Yellow Army, hypnotized Olrik at Miss Sing's place to help him break free of his demons. Olrik then sees a crowd demanding the return of Septimus and Professor Mortimer reactivating Telecephaloscope. Motivated by these visions, Olrik tries to escape, but Miss Sing is waiting outside to present him to Lieutenant McFarlane. At Bedlam Hospice, Blake and Mortimer find Major Blanks and his team rushing to prepare for an enemy attack. Blanks tells them that he sent two of his men to the abandoned hangars near King's Cross to find the mysterious machine. When Blake and Mortimer decide to leave, Major Blanks and his men fall to their knees and start reciting the litany of Septimus. Blake decides to explore the basement of the abandoned warehouse near King’s Cross in search of the machine. Within that basement, Blake discovers a metal door. After opening it, Blake and his men enter a huge cave with a giant unknown craft resembling a spaceship. Stepping into the craft, Blake suddenly finds himself in the reading room of the British Museum. Blake inspects the bookshelves and realizes that all of the books surrounding him are copies of ‘The Mega Wave’ by Septimus. After touching one of the books, Blake is struck by an electric shock and falls to the floor. The British Museum suddenly vanishes and is replaced by a single glass column. Blake approaches the glass column and sees a scuba diver staring back at him. The scuba diver is attached to the spaceship-like craft with wires and tubes. At the same moment, Mortimer appears to be in a taxi on his way to Lady Rowana, who invited him to attend a private party that included the four admirers of Septimus. He discovers that they too have rebuilt a Telecephaloscope. The admirers then demonstrate they have recovered Olrik as a guinea pig. Knowing their evil intentions, Mortimer damages the machine before being knocked out. Meanwhile, Oscar Balley arrives late for the party. He has had some troubles outside and he tells the rest to take a look out the window. A horde of Septimuses march outside the warehouse looking for Olrik, their guinea pig. Oscar has been touched by one of the Septimuses outside. Shortly after that, he disappears in a cloud of thick smoke and Septimus appears in his place. In their cell, Olrik and Mortimer decide to ally temporarily to be able to escape, but Lady Rowana releases them to show them the entirety of the situation. The professor makes the assumption that there is another mega wave generator that stimulated the Telecephaloscope, and that the image of Septimus, kept in memory, intends to replicate indefinitely. The horde of Septimuses break through the door, they manage to escape via the sewers. Mortimer takes Olrik to his lab in hopes of finding a way to end the phenomenon. At 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister tells Captain Blake that the mysterious craft, Orpheus, was discovered by Major Blanks's team during the last war and that its existence is to be kept a secret in order to facilitate a study by scientists. Blake decides to destroy the Orpheus and gets inside with explosives without listening to his superiors. In the laboratory, Professor Mortimer uses the Telecephaloscope on Olrik to give him control over the Mega Wave, and thus over the source of the clones of Septimus. Olrik enters the spaceship via the Mega wave and orders Colonel Blake and his men to leave. The diver tries to get control over the situation and keeps saying the word ’Asylum’. Olrik manages to resist the orders of the mysterious diver and triggers the explosion. The Orpheus ship explodes and disappears in a column of light. A few days later, Blake and Mortimer discuss their adventure, while Olrik (who hasn’t recovered from his experience) finds himself interned in Bedlam Hospice with Major Blanks and his team. All repeat the same word as the diver, 'Asylum.'

The officer in charge tells Hanne Lindberg, Head of the Cyber Division of Europol, that Benjamin asked for her to do the interrogation. Benjamin says that he has information regarding FRI3NDS, a notorious hacking group of four members connected to the Russian cyber mafia, and MRX, an infamous hacker known on Darknet; he tells her that he could give them both to Hanne if she listens to him. Having no choice, Hanne sits down. Benjamin tells Hanne how he is like a superhero: like many heroes, he too has no parents; he never met his father as he abandoned the family when Benjamin was born, and his mother committed suicide when he was 8. He lives alone with his ailing grandmother. He regards his "superpower" as invisibility, as he was never noticed by most people during his childhood due to him being socially awkward. He says he learned programming and hacked his first system when he was 14. Though he felt like a loser in real life, he felt a sense of belonging on the Internet. While spending most of his time on Darknet, he met his hacking hero, MRX, whose identity no one knows and who can hack into any system. Benjamin aspires to be like him. However, as he was unable to attend university, he worked as a pizza delivery boy to pay the bills. He tells Hanne that, one night while he delivered pizzas to a group of students, he saw Marie, a girl with whom he was in love with since his school days. Hearing her having trouble with exams, he decided to help her and be a 'superhero'. He went to the University, hacked into its servers to download the exam questions, but he was caught by a security guard and arrested. Having no prior criminal record, he was forced to perform community service as a punishment. He tells Hanne that while working on cleaning the streets as punishment, he met Max, a fellow hacker, who Benjamin feels is the opposite of himself; a charismatic, cocky and confident individual. Later, Max had introduced him to his colleagues Stephan and Paul. After Benjamin proved himself as a hacker, Max explained to him that the concept of social engineering is the greatest form of hacking. They decide to form a hacking group, called "Clowns Laughing At You", nicknamed CLAY, and they use Benjamin's house as a base of operations, since Benjamin was forced to send his grandmother to a nursing home due to her Alzheimer's disease. They cause general mayhem around Berlin in a form of pranking, becoming popular around social media. However, MRX, with whom is Max obsessed, mocks them outright. Infuriated, Max wants to perform a more outrageous feat of hacking, and Benjamin suggest hacking the main building of BND (German Central Intelligence). Impressed by this outrageous idea, the group agrees with Benjamin and decide to hack the BND in order to impress MRX. Using dumpster diving and phishing to gain access to the BND building, they manage to hack the internal servers and hack the printers to print their logo titled "NO SYSTEM IS SAFE" all around the building, impressing MRX. However, when they go to a club and celebrate, Benjamin notices Max kissing Marie. Infuriated, Benjamin refuses to let them in the house, also offending Marie when she visits him due to his anger. Feeling inferior, he secretly contacts MRX, offering him valuable info; database from BND's private servers, in which he hacked in while he was in the BND building, which impresses MRX. When the group arrives the next day, Benjamin is still furious, and attacks Max; who responds by beating him up. However, Paul, watching the TV, hears on the news that one of the members of FRI3NDS, nicknamed Krypton, was murdered. Benjamin admits that he gave the info from the BND to MRX, and after checking them, realizes that the info identified Krypton as a double agent working with Hanne to expose MRX and FRI3NDS, and CLAY is now labeled as a terrorist group for hacking the info. Seeking to clear their name for the murder, Benjamin contacts MRX, who instructs them to hack into the Europol database in exchange for MRX's identity, giving them a hacking tool to help. After dissolving their hard drives in acid to erase data, they travel to Europol's headquarters in The Hague in order to try and break their way in, but it's impossible to find a way inside: they dump their trash in secured building, the sewers are locked, and phishing attempts failed. However, while checking out the building, Benjamin notices a group of scholars visiting the building, and one of them drops his visitor card; using Max's advice about social engineering, Benjamin manages to gain access to the building by fooling a guard and plants a hacking device inside. He then hacks into the internal Europol servers and provides MRX with an entrance; secretly encoded inside a double trojan horse so MRX will be exposed when he tries to gain access. However, MRX, anticipating this, takes a snapshot of Benjamin via his webcam, exposing him. Benjamin is forced to flee when a group of Russian mobsters find him; he evades them in the subway. Benjamin returns to the hotel where he was staying with the trio, only to find them murdered. Having no other choice and knowing that FRI3NDS would kill him, he decided to turn himself in to Hanne, proving that he is serious after stating that he hacked her profile and learned personal information about her. Hanne, who was suspended for her failure to capture them and is desperate to apprehend FRI3NDS and MRX, agrees to put Benjamin into a witness protection program in exchange for capturing them; Benjamin logs in as MRX himself and spreads lies about MRX being a snitch, forcing the real MRX to force his way into the Darknet servers with unsafe methods, allowing Benjamin to expose him; MRX is exposed as a 19-year old American man from New York City, whom the FBI arrests in a coffee shop. However, after agreeing to give Benjamin the witness exchange program for him, Hanne notices a wound going through his palm (the same wound that Max got after running a nail through his hand), and realizes that Max, Stephan and Paul are all made up characters. Distraught, she visits Benjamin's doctor, who states that his mother had multiple personality disorder and committed suicide because of it, learning that it can be genetically passed. She connects various plot holes in Benjamin's story and realizes that he alone was CLAY: he committed all the atrocities, he hacked into the BND alone, and he planted the WWII bullets from his grandmothers in the hotel to make it look like they were killed, imagining the trio due to his illness. Hanne confronts Benjamin, who has an emotional breakdown, as people with mental disorders cannot be given witness protection. However, Hanne changes her mind and allows him access to the witness protection program, revealed to be an actual program containing information about all citizens of Germany; Benjamin changes his identity here. Hanne, dropping Benjamin off, states that she let him go because he truly wants to stay invisible, and lets him go on the condition that he never hacks again. Benjamin, now sporting blonde hair, is standing alone on a Scandlines ferry heading north. However, he is suddenly joined by Marie, Max, Stephan and Paul. In narration, Benjamin states that he performed "the greatest social engineering hack" ever; the scene shifts back to Benjamin going back to the hotel, finding the guys alive and well; he instructs them to flee since MRX knows his identity, but they refuse to leave him behind. After Marie visits them and confirms that mentally ill subjects cannot be granted witness protection, they devise a plan for Benjamin to go to Hanne and dictate the story, deliberately giving plot holes which she will most likely dechiper, and then using her grief for him in order to give him access to the witness protection program, and also spiking his hand with a nail to make the story seem truthful. In the server room, it was revealed that Benjamin didn't change his identity, he erased it completely. Benjamin states that Hanne will eventually realize his deception, but she won't hunt him down as she got what she wanted. Indeed, at a press conference announcing the defeat of FRI3NDS and MRX, Hanne, having an epiphany, smiles as she realizes the truth. ===== Indranath's son is ill, Guru Omkarananda suggests he pray to the goddess Kamala.

Akpos unexpectedly wins a 30-day prize trip to Atlanta, U.S. for a couple in the raffle draw. Akpors decides to go with his cousin on the trip. On arriving Atlanta Airport, they recognized a Nigerian politician and exchange greetings. While going for a walk from their temporary residence, Akpos experiences his first culture shock, an American kid persistently declines her mother's instruction without being punished for it. They compare the scenario with counterparts back home and Akpos confronts the kid in the presence of her mother who reprimands him afterwards. He experiences a few more peculiarities about the American culture. They go to an outdoor musical dance talent hunt. After watching a series of performers, Akpos decides to take up a challenge and display his peculiar dancing style with the music of his choice to the audience' amusement. They later obtain a white convertible from a car agency and Richards convinces Akpos about the agency's mode of operations in the country. On driving to a restaurant with petrol station, they bump into a friend, Okiemute (Desmond Elliot) they knew back home. In the midst of their excited greetings, Okiemute tries to caution them to change their familiar style of greeting since his name has changed. Okiemute invites them both to eat at the restaurant while Akpos also experiences another culture shock when he sees a lady footing the bill on a couple's date. Akpos is also amazed to hear some disaffected customers complaining about the restaurant's service in Nigerian pidgin. They discuss foreign baby droppers who come to give birth in the U.S. On sighting a beautiful lady, Kimberly (Karlie Redd), Akpos reveals his intention to date her but Okiemute cautions him about her strict father. They drive to the beautiful residence of a Nigerian friend in diaspora, Uncle Wilson (Kesse Jabiri). They are welcomed by Wilson's wife (Vivica A. Fox), who instantly recognizes their accent. They adore the residence's interior design before being welcomed by Wilson. They experience yet another culture shock when they see Wilson performing traditional African female roles (food preparation, babysitting, housekeeping etc.) while his wife gives him instructions. Akpos, eager to displays his feelings tries to confront Wilson but is restrained by Richard. After narrating their love story, Akpos has the biased opinion that Wilson is under a spell from his wife. Akpos tries to convince Wilson that his wife's "domination" is abnormal. Akpos finally decides to leave the house, almost revealing his annoyance to Wilson's wife but for Richard's timely intervention. They attend a Sustainable earth conference in which the same minister they met is also attending. Akpos makes a weird but humorous comment to everyone's surprise. At the lunch, they sight Kimberly and Akpos urges Richard into starting a conversation. It turns out well despite Akpos' blunders and Richard's interference. She gives Richard a contact and they leave just in time for her father, Odiye (Richard Mofe Damijo), a U.S.-based Nigerian who owns the restaurant, to show up. Akpos sometimes disturbs Richard and affects his concentration in their residence. Richard decides to visit the restaurant again to await Kimberly but Akpos shows up unexpectedly. He persuades Richard that he will be supportive of his date. After ordering food, he takes the initiative by signaling to Kimberly when she arrives. Unaware that they were visitors and not residents, Kimberly mentions Akpos' comment at the conference and her father's interest to meet him and possibly engage him in an stand-up comedy contract. Richard tries to discourage the proceedings but Akpos maintains an interest and requests further information on the remuneratory aspect of the proposed contract, despite knowing it was a violation of his visa to work during their visit. After the contract is awarded and Akpos commences work at the restaurant, he narrates it to Richard who cautions him that it was illegal to work and might be arrested if discovered. Undaunted by the risks, he refuses to quit the job. While leaving for their residence in a taxi, it dawns on Richard that he has left his wallet with cash behind. As a result of their situation, Akpos recommends that they flee on dropping from the taxi. Unknown to them, the driver understood their conversation and threatens them with a gun before dropping them half-naked on the streets in annoyance. Kimberly and her father comes to their aid and drives them home. They are treated with good hospitality while Odiye narrates his family story, citing his late American wife, Joyce (Kimberly's mother), ordeal and journey from Nigeria to the United States, advising them not to be discouraged by setbacks in life. Kimberly prepares dinner and invites them all to the table. They meet for the first time and are introduced to Odiye's immigration lawyer, Clara (Lynn Whitfield). They converse and Akpos makes additional blunders but succeeds in making them laugh. Clara, impressed by Akpos' sense of humour decides to see him perform at the restaurant. While leaving for their residence, Akpos reveals his interest in dating Clara to Kimberly. Kimberly reveals that Clara is much older than she looks, but Akpos doesn't give up on starting a date with her. Richards tries to make romantic advances but Kimberly reminds him that they are still under her father's watchful eye. Richard and Akpos drives home in the car. Later, Akpos proceeds to date Clara and succeeds in winning her affection. He teaches her some Nigerian pidgin and slangs. Richard also gets along well with Kimberly on a date but unlike Akpos, he reveals their visitor status in the United States. On another day, Richard converses with his mother and uncle James via Skype and is surprised to learn that his former girlfriend, Ese is assisting his mother at home, at work and making future wedding arrangements. He tries to convince his mother that they have ended their relationship and mentions his new found love, describing Kimberly. When Akpos accompanies Richard to collect a portraiture gift for Kimberly and waits outside, Akpos disappears before he comes out, having strolled into a gang of street gamblers. As soon as Richards notices his sudden disappearance, he searches for him. Akpos has already engaged himself in a gambling session by the time Richards finds him. On discovery, Richard cautions him that the gang of gamblers might be prone to committing crime. Akpos convinces him to go and meet Kimberly at home and leave him with his gambling as everything will be fine. Richard reluctantly leaves. Kimberly notifies Richard on phone about their dating arrangements and her intentions to Skype with his mother when she gets home. Richard gives her an incentive to proceed as planned. Kimberly enters the house and awaits Richard. Meanwhile, Akpos gambling spree has gone sour and after deciding to leave with his winning, he is threatened with a gun by one of the gamblers. Other members of gang try to restrain the attacker while Akpos displays his aggressive behaviour and breaks a bottle on his head, threatening and chasing his attacker as a defensive measure. The attacker and his gang flees to avoid the dangerous scene when the cops' siren signals are heard nearby. At Richard's residence, Kimberly decides to pick the Skype video call. On sighting Richard's mum, she introduces herself. Richard's mum, not familiar with the American way of greeting, considers Kimberly rude. Ese, who happened to be nearby immediately describes herself in the mum's presence that she is Richard's wife. Richard's mum leaves the conversation to attend to her cooking and tells Ese not to tamper with the laptop. Ese agrees but continues the Skype video conversation and tries to convince Kimberly that she will be used and dumped by Richard. She proceeds by showing her proof of their "marriage" with intimate pictures of her with Richard. Kimberly becomes heartbroken and drives away from the house in tears. She refuses to pick Richard's calls and hints him of her discovery of his secret past. After fleeing the gambling scene, Akpos is arrested by the cops before he reaches home. He manages to notify Richard on phone requesting Clara's intervention on the case. Richard reprimands him for his actions and agrees to involve Clara. Akpos leaves the phone hanging and barely ends his conversation in an attempt to flee erotic advances from a prison inmate. Clara approaches Akpos in the cell and tries to clarify the situation, discussing with the legal officials as a representative lawyer. In the middle of Akpos conversation with the officials, it is discovered that Akpos also violated his visa, making his case more severe and punishable by law. He is finally granted bail and scheduled for a court hearing. In court, he persists in defending his actions and commits more blunders in the process. He is cautioned to keep silent by Richard or risk going to Jail. Clara also reiterated that he keep silent while she spoke. To avoid prosecution, the presiding Judge agreed that the total income Akpos has earned will be sufficient as compensation for his legal and visa violation if the money is donated to charity under supervision. In order to avert further violation pending his stay in the United States, Clara decides to keep him under her watchful eye and takes him to her house to cook him dinner. Akpos expresses his appreciation for her timely intervention and falls in love with her. He requests for her bedroom and carries her inside. Afterwards, Clara overhears Akpos conversing on phone implying that his relationship with Clara will facilitate his green card and American citizenship. Clara becomes furious that Akpos might have taken advantage of her influential position and after reminiscing about the recent past, she ejects Akpos immediately from her house and threatens to call the police if he refuses to leave. Akpos leaves. Richard, on the other hand has been disturbed since Kimberly stopped communicating. He attempts to clarify the situation and explain to Kimberly but her father, Odiye intervenes and orders him to leave his daughter alone, reiterating the stereotyped bad image many young Nigerian men portray to the Western world. Odiye comforts his daughter when Richard leaves. Richard in an attempt to converse with his mother on Skype, sees Ese and talks to her angrily about her interference in his relationship with Kimberly. He also learns about Akpos' eviction from Clara's house. Akpos reluctantly donates his earnings to charity. As their departure date to Nigeria draws nearer, they make additional tours in the country and take photographs. At the airport, as the men prepare to board their flight back to Nigeria, they are surprised to see Kimberly and Clara who after further clarifications had both made up their minds to follow them back to Nigeria to meet their relatives. ===== Middle-aged Mrs. Livingston Baldwin Crane (Edna May Oliver) is selected to serve on a jury for the murder trial of French ex-showgirl Yvette Gordon (Jill Esmond), accused of killing her rich, much older husband. The prosecutor calls only two witnesses, a doctor and Mrs. Gordon's maid, Evelyn Snow. Snow testifies that after she found Mrs. Gordon kneeling beside the body of her husband holding the murder weapon, a gun, her employer offered to pay her to say that Mr. Gordon committed suicide. Mrs. Gordon, on the other hand, claims that Snow demanded money to tell the police that story. On the witness stand, Mrs. Gordon says she went away for a week to get away from Mr. Gordon for a while, then returned to an angry, suspicious husband who threatened her with a gun. She states they struggled, and the gun went off by accident. During the testimony, Mrs. Crane asks several questions of the witnesses, much to the annoyance of Judge Henry Fish. She discovers that Snow was recommended to Mrs. Gordon by Chauncey Gordon, Mr. Crane's nephew and sole relative (and heir if Mrs. Gordon is convicted). When the jury retires to consider a verdict, Mrs. Crane casts the sole "not guilty" vote. When asked why, she replies, "Woman's intuition." After much convincing and several votes, the count is ten to two in favor of acquittal. During the deliberations, the wealthy Mrs. Crane manages to (illegally) pass a note to her maid Suzanne, instructing her to hire a detective agency to investigate further. When Mrs. Crane overhears a couple of the jurors debating whether to switch their votes back to guilty, she recommends they reenact the death at the scene. In the Gordon mansion, Chauncey Gordon refuses to pay Snow any more money until after Mrs. Gordon is found guilty. When they see the jury drive up, Snow hides Chauncey in a secret compartment. However, the jurors find the secret compartment and him by accident. Furthermore, a telegram arrives, stating that the detective agency has found out that Chauncey paid Snow $10,000. As a result, the jury find Mrs. Gordon not guilty. ===== ===== Young Zenon Ziembiewicz, member of a noble, but not very wealthy family, leaves for town and starts studying.

The Alpha-Omega employs apes previously loyal to Koba, derogatorily calling them "donkeys". After a failed attack on an ape outpost by an Alpha-Omega platoon, the defending apes capture four surviving soldiers, including one named Preacher, plus a "donkey" gorilla named Red. Caesar releases the humans, hoping to show the Colonel the apes are not savages; Red escapes by injuring the albino gorilla Winter. Caesar's eldest son, Blue Eyes, and his lieutenant, Rocket, return from a long journey. Blue Eyes reports that they found a place across the desert that is ideal for the apes. Despite an uneasy Winter asserting that the apes should leave immediately, Caesar decides they need to prepare first. That night, the Colonel leads a commando mission to infiltrate the apes' cave system, killing Blue Eyes and Caesar's wife, Cornelia. The apes are unable to find Winter, who they believe betrayed them to the Colonel out of cowardice. As the tribe gathers to journey to safety, Caesar leaves his younger son, Cornelius, in the care of Blue Eyes' wife Lake, and then departs to serve as a decoy for the others, while seeking vengeance against the Colonel for the death of his wife and son. Accompanied by Rocket, orangutan Maurice, and gorilla Luca, they enter a desolate village, where they find a soldier. After Caesar kills him in self-defense, they find a mute girl whom Maurice befriends, giving her a rag doll. They find Winter, now a "donkey", at an Alpha-Omega camp. Winter says that the Colonel has left, then attempts to call out for help, but the other apes restrain Winter and accidentally suffocate him. Caesar begins to worry that he is becoming like Koba, killing other apes in his quest for revenge. While following the Alpha-Omega force, the apes discover soldiers that were shot and left for dead. Their examination of a dying soldier reveals that he is mute like the girl. After losing track of the Alpha-Omega, Caesar's group chases a hooded figure who stole one of their horses and are surprised to discover he is another intelligent chimpanzee named Bad Ape. Bad Ape knows where the Alpha-Omega is stationed and leads them there. The location turns out to be a heavily fortified quarantine facility in the northern part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Attempting to get a closer look, Luca is killed by some Alpha-Omega spotters, and Caesar, after deciding to proceed alone, is captured. Caesar discovers that the Alpha- Omega has captured his entire tribe and is forcing them to build a defensive wall. Red brings Caesar to the Colonel in chains, who forces Caesar to work with the other apes, but Caesar inspires them to stop working temporarily before the Colonel threatens them into going back to work. Caesar deduces that the Colonel is barricading the facility against the remaining U.S. Army, who are coming to fight him because he went rogue and for killing his own men. The Colonel reveals to Caesar that the Simian Flu virus has mutated and the surviving human carriers subsequently revert into a primitive animal state, thus becoming mute. The Colonel states that he has decided to kill any humans possessing this new mutation in order to try and stop all humans from regression. He has Caesar tortured with hypothermia and starvation to force the other apes to work. The mute girl, named Nova by Maurice, sneaks into the facility to give Caesar food, water, and her rag doll. To divert attention from Nova, Rocket allows himself to be captured and beaten by Red. The next day, the Colonel discovers and confiscates the doll. Caesar, Rocket, Maurice, and Bad Ape successfully free the apes in a tunnel leading out of the facility. Caesar remains behind to confront the Colonel, just as the facility is attacked by the Army. Finding the Colonel infected by the virus from contact with Nova's doll, Caesar decides to let him commit suicide rather than exact his revenge. The escaping apes are caught in the crossfire between the Alpha-Omega and the Army. Caesar attempts to blow up a large fuel tank to take out the Alpha-Omega forces from behind, but he is shot by Preacher. Red, having a change of heart, intervenes, killing Preacher, and is immediately executed by another soldier. Caesar blows up the tank, which inadvertently triggers an avalanche that completely wipes out both the Alpha-Omega and the Army. The apes survive by climbing nearby trees. The apes journey across the desert and reach the oasis. While the apes and Nova celebrate, Maurice discovers Caesar is mortally wounded. He promises to tell Cornelius who his father was and what he did for the apes. Caesar then dies peacefully as the other apes look on. ===== Three years after abandoning his life as a stripper, Mike is running his own furniture business. He receives a call from Tarzan who informs Mike that Dallas is "gone". Believing that his former boss has died, Mike drives to a hotel only to find that his friends, the remaining Kings of Tampa, are enjoying themselves at a pool party. After revealing that Dallas has bailed on them to start a new show in Macau and only took "The Kid" (referencing Adam from Magic Mike) with him, the Kings let Mike in on their plan: to end their careers on a high note by traveling to Myrtle Beach for a stripping convention. Later, while trying to work, Mike overhears a song he used to strip to and dances. Reinvigorated, Mike decides to join them on their trip. Driving in a fro-yo van owned by Tito and Tobias, they decide to make their first stop at Mad Mary's. To prove to Richie that he's willing to commit to the trip, Mike participates in an amateur drag queen contest. The others join him soon after. They then head down to a beach where Mike attempts to resolve his issues with Ken through violence. The two later reconcile. Mike also meets a photographer named Zoe who tells him that she's headed for New York. They flirt but mutually agree that they should not have sex. Back on the road, Mike suggests that they change their routine after the group (excepting Tarzan) take MDMA. They stop at a gas station where he coerces Richie into trying to make the cashier smile with an improvised striptease which he successfully does. This inspires the others to abandon their old routines. Soon afterward, Tobias, under the influence of MDMA, passes out while driving and crashes the van. Everyone is left unscathed aside from Tobias who gets a concussion. In the hospital, the group begins to lose morale, and contemplate packing up and heading home. Mike then reveals that his furniture business isn't going that well and that he's no longer dating Brooke after she rejected his marriage proposal. The group decides to continue on. In search of a new emcee, Mike brings the group to a Savannah strip club owned by Rome, a woman that Mike has a history with. Despite proving to her that his skills haven't deteriorated, he's unsuccessful in getting her to help them. However, she does give them a ride to their next stop by having Andre, a rapper/singer who works at the club, drive them there. The group arrives at a mansion. Tito tells them that he knows the girl who lives there and that she's expecting them. They walk in through the door but are greeted by the girl's mother, Nancy, along with Nancy's friends who are all middle-aged women. Nancy's teasing of the group initially makes them feel awkward but as the night goes on, the mood lightens. During this time, Mike meets Zoe again. Zoe confesses that she was hired by another photographer as his assistant solely so he could try to start an affair with her, despite being married. Mike urges her to come to the convention to regain her smile. After sleeping with Richie, Nancy allows the group to drive her ex-husband's car to Myrtle Beach. When they arrive, they are surprised to see Rome. Rome, after having a change of heart, agrees to be their emcee. She also brings along Andre and Malik to help. With their preparations complete, they head to the convention where they manage to squeeze in a spot thanks to Rome and her seemingly romantic history with the organizer of the event, Paris. The group's performance is a success. During Mike and Malik's performance, Mike brings Zoe on stage. The film ends in celebration, Tobias returning with the fro-yo van and everyone watching the 4th of July fireworks. ===== Documentary maker Michael King does not believe in God, the devil, or any other supernatural existence. His wife Samantha believes the opposite. For many years she has visited medium Beverly for spiritual assistance. Samantha was killed in an accident in the United States, while Michael had wanted to travel with her in Europe at the time. Beverly, however, "foresaw" a major breakthrough in Samantha's attempt to become an actress and advised her to stay in America. Michael confronts Beverly with this. He asks her to admit that she plays false drama and has no contacts with anything at all. Beverly consoles him, but then asks him to leave. Michael struggles to pick up his life again after the death of Samantha. His sister Beth moves in with him to help him care for his daughter, Ellie. Michael decides to make a documentary to prove that there is no paranormal world or afterlife. He argues that such concepts can only be sustained out of human fear of nothingness, by a market that earns big money from it. From that starting point, Michael offers himself as a test subject for the heaviest, darkest supernatural rituals in which some other people believe. He places an advertisement on the internet where people can respond with suggestions for experiments to prove the opposite of his position. Cameraman Jordan will film everything he goes through, 24 hours a day. Michael assumes that he can show that there is nothing. If he is wrong, at least he becomes the first person ever with concrete evidence for the supernatural. There are hundreds of responses to his internet posting. The first of Michael's new internet contacts to visit him is a spiritual named Gibbons, who says that his father systematically sexually abused him in his youth. According to Gibbons, his father died of a heart attack shortly after he prayed to Satan for help. Coincidence, according to Michael. Then he orders stuff on the internet with which he could attempt to call demons. Nothing happens. That is why he visits self-proclaimed demonologist Augustine and his wife Marsha. They give him LSD, bind him to a cross in their cellar and speak spells about him. Michael gets a solid trip, but demons do not appear. In retrospect, he sees on the camera images showing that Augustine and his wife used the opportunity to have sex with each other in his presence. Michael doesn't give up and contacts a funeral director who claims to be a necromancer. He dehydrates Michael, this time with the substance DMT from the body of a toad, that causes psychedelic experiences. Then he takes Michael to a cemetery in the middle of the night. Here he wants to transfer the spirit of a newly deceased person to the body of Michael. Before they are able to get started, the police arrive. Running, they avoid the police. Michael next attends a large group meeting with a medium. She says she is getting a message from a recently deceased woman. The medium says to him "Michael, you need to ...". Halfway through her sentence she falls to the ground. Michael goes home. His head aches and he suffers from a constant sound in his head: a result of the drugs, he suspects. After an internist tells him that he does not suffer from ringing in the ears, he goes to a psychologist, who tries to get rid of the sound with hypnotherapy. The session is interrupted because the light in the room fails. During this time, Michael moves feverishly through space and begins to shout unintelligibly. Jordan analyzes the camera recording and determines that human vocal chords are not capable of producing Michael's shouts. Michael suspects that there is a defect in the camera. Jordan doesn't believe this and decides to no longer work on the documentary. Michael therefore takes the camera himself from that moment on. Without knowing it, he walks around at night, for example to feel his sister while she sleeps. He is dead during the day. The sound in Michael's head begins to appear more and more often, and is like a talking voice. He becomes convinced that something dangerous has happened to him. Michael therefore asks the voice to leave him alone. A "no" thunders through his head, and his own image appears on the television screen in the room, mocking him. Michael looks for the funeral owner to ask for help, but he sends him away with the message that it is his own fault. Augustine and Marsha explain that what they did was just for fun and put him out the door. Michael feels less and less in control of himself. At night he goes without knowing it with a kitchen knife to Ellie's bedroom. The next day, Beth finds the dog, Fishbone, dead, in Ellie's bed. Michael sends Beth and Ellie away to stay with friends. Because the church refuses to do an exorcism, he tries to do this at home on his own. His Bible goes up in flames in his hands. The entity that has taken possession of Michael's body throws him around the room and makes him carve a pentagram in his torso. When he sews his injuries the next day, he notices that it hardly hurts to insert a needle through his skin or completely into his thumb. The voice in his head demands that Michael kill Ellie. He refuses and goes after random women and vagrants instead. Michael now seems unable to control himself. That's why he goes home and chains himself with handcuffs to his bed. He wakes the next morning to find that the living room is completely messed up. The walls are full of signs written in blood in Latin. Michael handcuffs himself to his bed again with the key beyond his reach, while the demons are torturing him for not being able to take his body away to do any damages to anyone else living. In the morning Michael wakes up, finding his cuffed up hand, un-cuffed and bloodied. He walks around in his room finding arrows in blood pointing him out and downstairs to the lounge room and TV where on the screen is written "Watch this ->". He pushes the player button and on the screen appears the recording of the events that happened during the night. He sees that Jordan came by to see how he is doing. He sees the havoc and finds Michael in bed. He releases Michael on condition that he starts to seek help. Michael than rings Jordan's mobile which now is ringing from one of the rooms upstairs, but no one answers. Michael goes back upstairs and finds Jordan dead, hanging from the ceiling with a kitchen knife stuck in the middle of his left hand. Michael picks up a shard of glass and tries to end it, but the entity in him stops his arm. He then swallows the contents of few bottles of pills, but vomits them up. Finally, he tries to electrocute himself by taking a bath with a hair dryer, but the power plug explodes and cuts of the electricity flowing through it. Few hours later Michael is watching TV again which on the screen shows his wife, Sam, speaking into a recorder, from a hospital bed, her face is all stitched up on the areas that were damaged by the car accident, and she is talking about her meeting with Angels and God and trying to convince Michael to not be worried for her well being because she is safe and happy now and she still loves him and Ellie, always. Also she is telling him to never be worried to die a normal death and that she was worried for no reasons about it, but the truth about God and Heaven is real and she has seen it now, and she will be there waiting for the day when they will be reunited again. Michael than talks to himself and his inner demon about the noises and sounds inside his head which he described as "white noise" being the sounds of Angels tying to interfere and cover up the demon's voice which he can now hear very clearly. Michael is sitting in a rocking chair at the front door. The voice in his head talks to him: "We're together now Michael." In the morning Beth enters with Ellie. Michael lifts his sister up with one hand and breaks her neck. Then he goes up the stairs, behind Ellie. As he walks into the room where Ellie is hiding, he finds her, and struggles with the entity for power over his body. The demon is getting more and more powerful. Michael begs Sam for help. The coin which he was carrying around all the time which Sam was holding onto when she died, starts to spin fast while standing on its edge, than stops for few seconds and drops flat. Looking into the mirror, Michael gets momentary control over himself, and uses the opportunity to throw himself out the window. He falls to the street and dies while he hears Sam's voice saying "Everything will be alright now". ===== Holly Pollard is in an undergrad student in a directing program at her college.

William Peters (Austin Pendleton) the author of the book comes to rehearsals. While walking together with Adam their discussion leads Adam to wonder if the older man is also gay. When one of the actors is sick, he helps with a scene but he seems overwhelmed and has to stop. He continues to stay in town and come to rehearsals often nitpicking at Holly's way of presenting the adaptation. Eventually it is obvious that the source material is autobiographical and seeing it performed is causing Peters great mental anguish. On opening night a girl brings Brandon flowers backstage although he insists it is not what is seems. Holly hears Madeline's family discussing how they should look away during a part of the performance. Peters leaves on a plan without seeing the performance. Overall, the performance goes well.

Under where she has written her name and 1993, the author has written his name, William Peters, and the current year, 2013. ===== The film is shot in a non-chronological order, with the plot continuously moving back and forth in time. The story starts a year in the past: A top cop Pradeep Sharma presents himself before the court in an unknown case. A college teen named Anirudha Rege slowly becomes engulfed in the criminal underworld when he crosses the path of a mysterious small-time gangster named "M Bhai". He is depressed by the fact that he has to become a doctor, just because his father is a famous doctor. When he first witnesses M Bhai's ability to get away with crime during a Hindu religious celebration, Rege becomes enamored at his power. He and his friend Pakya decide to join M Bhai's gang activities, bullying citizens, bribing police, and spending time at brothels. Rege's father, a successful doctor and dean of a hospital, becomes suspicious of Rege's whereabouts, but Rege assures him everything is fine. Meanwhile, police inspector Pradeep Sharma, who is accused of laundering money to pay for expensive properties managed by Agrawal Industries, is an expert in encounters and strong-arms gangsters into bending to his whim. He crosses paths with M Bhai's goons when he crashes a wedding celebration, but M Bhai and his men escape just in time. Sharma and his right-hand man, Sachin Waze, uses their own men to track them down. Rege's friends try to get him to run for secretary in elections, but this is stalled after another candidate uses his criminal relations to convince Rege to drop out. However, the opposing candidate realizes Rege's connections with M Bhai and he himself drops out instead. Rege tells his friends to go, and they start to become concerned with his entanglements with his gangster friends. M Bhai then takes Rege along with his men to have some "fun", however they instead go on a mission to kill off Agarawal (of Agarawal Industries) who manages Pradeep Sharma's properties. Back in the present, the Pradeep Sharma is jail and is in complete control of his case. His lieutenant Waze is now managing the show. He takes the builder lobby into confidence and tries to bribe the judges, public prosecutor, etc. On the other hand, his seniors are also fighting tooth and nail to convict Sharma in the case. They arrange for false witnesses and they also raise a lobby to influence the judge. Waze is countering these moves by killing the false witnesses lobbying to change the judges. Back in flashback we see Rege comes out of the vehicle and witnesses the murder of Agarwal builder. The others in gang vouch to kill him, but M bhai is against the idea and spares Rege. M Bhai drops his men off at Rege's farmhouse and tells Rege to go to the bar and forget everything that has happened. Rege is seen at the whore-house extremely drunk. He is picked up by Sharma's men and brought to the police station where he is interrogated and threatened with violence. Rege is extremely scared and repents for what he has done. However, Sharma comes to the station and reasons with Rege privately in congenial manner to spill everything that happened with M Bhai's gang. As Rege reveals the events, Sharma realizes M Bhai could still be at Rege's farmhouse. Sharma's men head over with Rege and capture M Bhai and his men, who are soon after executed in a crop field. Rege feels guilty and foolish as Sharma lets him go home. But in the climax, it is revealed that Sharma killed Rege just to complete his century (100) of encounters when Waze persuades him by telling him that,"Sachin Tendulkar had waited for a year to complete his century of centuries". The final scene shows Rege's mother crying in front of his pictures and "Happy Birthday" playing in background as Rege is killed on his birthday. In the present day, Pradeep Sharma is under arrest for disobeying his police superiors orders and abusing his power. He is periodically interrogated and derided by a panel of chief inspectors. Waze attempts to gain favors with lawyers, politicians and judges to appeal his case. He is eventually acquitted of all charges. ===== The story begins with Geeta Patel, who works as a maid for the wealthy Shah family. Gita has a beautiful, very intelligent, and a perfect "cinderella" of a daughter, Piya, who she works hard to send to college.

One day, Piya's mother injures herself and is unable to work. Money being tight, Piya decides to work for the Shah family as their maid and simultaneously attends college. In college and at home, Piya's interactions with Kabir increase, who begins to fall for her. In addition, Akshay begins to fall for Ayesha, who is Aditi's best friend, and comes very close to figuring out her life is a lie many times. Eventually, Piya and Kabir marry, much to the disappointment of all of Kabir's family members. Despite all this, Baa supports Piya and assures Piya that she is welcome in the Shah family as more than just a maid.

Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven escort the small snowmen to Elsa's ice palace, where they stay with her snow- giant doorkeeper Marshmallow. ===== A getaway driver known as Chacho (Michael Peña) assists a crew of bank robbers in evading the Miami Police. After exchanging vehicles, Chacho reveals himself to be Agent Castillo of the FBI, who then converges with other agents on a dock and arrests the bank robbers. At the same time, Jon Baker (Dax Shepard) enrolls in the California Highway Patrol Academy. Despite his low aptitude score across every field, Sgt. Gail Hernandez (Maya Rudolph) sympathizes with Jon, noting that he can ride a motorcycle better than the majority of cadets she has trained and grants him a probationary graduation. On a California highway, an armored van is attacked by a crew of bike riders. One member identified by the guard as "LT" accuses the guard and TJ, his CHP closet boyfriend of stealing from him from a previous hit. TJ, who happens to be responding to the hit at the time, arrives overhead in a Police helicopter. LT informs TJ over the police frequency that he must choose who lives (TJ or his boyfriend) as punishment. TJ ultimately jumps from the helicopter and falls to his death. In Miami, Castillo is informed by his boss Peterson (Isiah Whitlock Jr.) that the CHP have requested the FBI's help in the armored van heist, believing that a corrupt police ring is involved. Castillo is ordered to go undercover within the CHP and is given the alias Francis Llewellyn "Ponch" Poncherello. Ponch is partnered up with Baker and the two head to ostensibly pay respects to TJ's widow at home. Baker points out that there isn't a single commendation, picture or other effects a helicopter pilot would have in the house, and later precisely identifies the bikes used in the heist as the Ducati Hypermotard 939. The bike gang makes another attempt on an armored van. The crew evade Ponch and Baker on the faster Ducati's after a lengthy chase through Elysian Park. LT, already wary of Ponch's extensive investigations into the heists finds out from his FBI contacts that he is undercover, whereas Ponch also obtains a potential lead on an apartment TJ tenanted at. Ponch concludes that TJ had to have been corrupt, as it would not have been affordable on his salary. Sensing that something is still amiss, Ponch and Baker re-visit TJ's widow. Officer Parish - who had previously warned Ponch not to return - fights him until he is subdued by Baker. Ponch recognizes that Parish is not in on the corrupt circle, after he suggests that "LT" in reality could stand for Lieutenant. Ponch and Baker arrive on the profile of Lieutenant Raymond Kurtz (Vincent D'Onofrio) and immediately suspect him, but have nothing to pin him to the heists. The FBI pick up on a promising lead to a drug house in Venice, prompting Ponch and Baker to respond and give chase to one of the bike crew members. During the lengthy pursuit, Officer Brian Grieves (Ryan Hansen) secretly informs LT that the suspect involved is his son. While crossing a bridge, the suspect is decapitated by a recovery vehicle's extended industrial wire. LT arrives and crashes into Baker who was in pursuit. Parish arrives in his police helicopter and airlifts an unconscious Baker to hospital. Corrupt Officer and Ponch's love interest Lindsey Taylor (Jessica McNamee) attempts to console LT over his loss, but is instructed to wait for Grieves until he is discharged from hospital. Petersen fires Ponch for disobeying his orders to stay well away from Allen's lead, and Baker also discovers that his ex-wife Karen (Kristen Bell) who Baker had been living with, has sold her house while he was in hospital without telling him. At Ponch's house, Baker identifies the decapitated biker as Raymond Reed Kurtz Jr., CHP Lieutenant Ray Kurtz's son, confirming their earlier suspicions. Ponch returns to the CHP Central Station and is sworn in as a CHP Officer while Ray kidnaps Karen and holds her hostage at his safe house. Ray gives Ponch and Baker her location, but the two are ambushed by Ray en route. Both Ponch and Baker rescue Karen as Officer Ava Perez (Rosa Salazar) arrives with back up, but are attacked by Ray's associates. Ray shoots off three of Ponch's fingers, leaving him unable to return fire and instead rely on Baker's poor aim to retaliate. Baker alters his aim to compensate for this, but accidentally triggers an explosive device that incapacitates Ray and his remaining guards, who Perez and the other Officers arrest. Ray comes to, but is reinforced by Taylor and then holds Baker at gunpoint. Ponch intervenes moments before Ray fires a shot into Baker's arm which ricochets off of a titanium implant and strikes Ray in the head, killing him instantly. Baker is loaded onto an ambulance to be treated for his injuries. Karen offers to join him in hospital, however Baker finally realizes how little she cares for him and declines her offer. Ponch is given morphine by a Paramedic (who is played by Erik Estrada in a cameo appearance). A final cut scene shows Castillo receiving a call from Peterson, who offers him his job back at the FBI. Castillo however refuses, preferring to stay in the CHP. ===== Viju (Kumar Gaurav) lives near Panji, Goa, with his poor mother (Beena Banerjee), who teaches music to make a living.

Footsteps are heard from above, and then several men find them, severely assaulting the man and then dragging them both away as the woman screams. Some time later, a young stranger rides into a remote town somewhere in the Austrian Alps. Having introduced himself as a photographer, Mr Greider, he becomes the lodger of a widow whose husband and son suffered an untimely death. Soon, the newcomer learns that the entire town is firmly under the dominion of an aged rich man named Old Brenner and his six power-drunk sons. One day, the widow sends her daughter to town to run some errands. Greider is invited, and decides to accompany young Luzi. As Luzi does her shopping, Greider asks for coffee and horseshoe nails. The brothers discover him at her side within the store, and command him to drink their schnapps. When he politely refuses by stating that he "doesn't drink," one of the brothers beats him into compliance. Later, one of the Brenner brothers dies in what looks like a freak logging accident. Soon this same fate befalls another of the brothers; he falls off a cliff having been blinded by a branch with nails on it. Old Brenner finds nails in his dead son's eyes. Since Greider is suspected to have had his hand in these accidents, he hides. Meanwhile, it is revealed that the Brenners walk in the footsteps of their father. At every local wedding they claim the (fictional) medieval prerogative of Primae noctis; only Greider's parents (the young couple from the opening scene) had refused to comply. For that defiance, the Brenners crucified Greider's father, but his mother managed to escape and find refuge in America. The local priest still supports what the Brenners do. Greider confronts the priest in private, revealing that he's come to crack down on the Brenners. He admits that he did kill the two Brenner sons. After telling the priest that he's next to die, Greider shoots him. Greider rescues Luzi from the grasp of the Brenners after she marries Lukas and is abducted. Greider challenges them to a duel on the next day. Rather than waiting for the appointed duel, the brothers try to ambush Greider at the remote mountain cabin where he is holed up. At dawn they come after him, attacking all together. A shootout ensues. Greider is outnumbered four-to-one, but he has the advantage of a Winchester lever-action repeating rifle, while the Brenners all wield two shot side-by-side and breechloading rifles, and are unfamiliar with a repeating rifle. Skillfully leveraging this edge, Greider kills or leaves for dead the remaining four brothers. He then seeks to deliver the message of their deaths to their father, but discovers that some citizens of the town remain loyal to Brenner senior. As Greider approaches Brenner's home he is attacked by the blacksmith, a hulking giant brandishing a large iron log hook. Lukas manages to save Greider by shooting the blacksmith, but not before the hook finds its way through Grieder's shoulder. After the fight, Greider storms Old Brenner's house and finds him in his bed. Greider gives Old Brenner a picture of his mother, explaining the reason for killing Old Brenner's sons and now him. Old Brenner reveals to Greider that he is Greider's father (a product of his mother's rape by Brenner on her wedding night) and so therefore he has murdered his own half-brothers. Brenner asks him "to make it quick" and Greider obliges by shooting him in the heart. Greider recovers for three weeks from his wounds. Meanwhile, the various families that live on the valley ask to punish Greider as many have relatives to Old Brenner due to his ways. Greider leaves the valley, never to return. ===== ===== Fernanda is a married woman with two children who meets Miguel, a male prostitute after hitting him in a car accident.

He tries to force her to eat and tells her that he used to be an Elder and that he experimented with altering genetics. He also tells her about how Lorien was controlling everything, and he rivaled it. Then, he puts a binding charm over himself and Ella. The Mogadorians try to force Ella to read the Great Book by blasting an alarm at her whenever she doesn't. Ella rips the book apart. Setrákus Ra talks to her, mentioning her "betrothed". Eventually he arrives. Ella is disgusted to note that she is betrothed to the treacherous Number Five. She finds out that Five killed Eight, and is even more upset. Setrákus Ra trains Ella to use her Legacy Dreynen, using Five as the equivalent of a punching bag. She apologizes to him later telepathically. He responds that he deserved it and that they need to escape. Ella wakes up later to find Five talking about how Mogadorians were bad. She finds out that Five was not aware of their betrothal either. Setrákus Ra catches them. Five stabs Setrákus Ra and the binding charm makes Ella injured as well. She loses consciousness. John, Sam, Sarah, Malcolm, and Adam, as well as a bunch of Chimæra are staying in an abandoned textile factory. They figure out that the surviving Garde are in Florida, except for one who's dot on the tablet is bouncing everywhere. Adam suggests going to Ashwood Estates instead of predictably going to Florida. The others agree, John with a bit of persuasion required. They find a website titled They Walk Among Us with information about the Mogadorians, and Sarah goes to meet Mark James. Malcolm, John, Sam, and most of the Chimæra go to Ashwood Estates. The Chimæra carry cameras. They survey Mogs carrying equipment, and kill them. Adam admits that the General residing at the Estates is his father. John attacks him, and his shield bracelet is broken. The Chimæra also attack. The General grabs John's neck and squeezes hard. Adam stabs his father through the back. They observe the decomposition of the General's augmented parts. Adam takes up his father's old sword. They stay at the Estates. Adam uses Mogadorian surveillance to see Seven (Marina), Six, and Nine break into the base. Adam hacks a ship and uses its guns to kill all of the Mogadorians. Six, Marina, and Nine are trying to escape the swamp. They find a town, and see that the Chicago penthouse was destroyed. Marina finds Dale, who claims that there is an old NASA base in the swamp with UFOs flying around it. She believes that Eight's body is there and decides to have Dale lead them there. Nine and Six agree. Marina tells Six that she can feel Eight somewhere. They see Mogadorians from their boat and kill them. Dale is frightened and flees the boat. Seven and Six find a huge Mogadorian base. They turn invisible and enter it. Nine uses his animal telepathy to tell a beast controlled by the Mogadorians to cause a distraction. It obliges but is killed. They make it into a greenhouse. They find Number Five lurking, as well as Number Eight's body. Five stabs a Mogadorian telling him to bring Eight's body to a ship. Six, Seven, and Nine are left with Eight's body. Nine apologizes out loud. Marina says that she forgives him and they hug. A huge Mogadorian ship appears in the doorway and kills all of the Mogadorians. They hear Number Four's voice coming out of the ship and board it. Six "pilots" it to Ashwood Estates, with Adam's instruction. Six and Sam kiss at their return. Shortly after Seven, Six, and Nine come to Ashwood Estates, Agent Walker and the FBI arrive. They have realized that the Mogadorians are villainous and want to help the Garde. They have seen what happens when someone stops taking the Mogadorian augmentations and they tell the Garde about the plan of the Mogadorians. Their plan is to assassinate the secretary of defense, Bud Sanderson, who was working for the Mogadorians. They believe that his assassination will help stop Setrákus Ra's invasion plan. The next day, Malcolm gathers footage of his mind being dredged. He shows them what he said, that Lorien is not a planet, but an entity, and that it can be awoken in Earth when their Inheritances are put in Calakmul. Four, Sam, and Nine decide to proceed with Walker's plan and go to New York. Marina, Six, and Adam decide to go to Calakmul. They collect much of the Inheritances to "commit to the earth" and also bring Henri's ashes and Eight's body. On the plane, Marina is hostile toward Adam. She then finds out that he killed his Mogadorian father, and stops. They find a Mogadorian ship trying to contact them. Adam acts authoritative and their ship is allowed entry. When they leave the ship, Phiri Dun-Ra pretends to bargain with him, but hits him on the head. Six and Seven kill the Mogadorians, except for Phiri Dun-Ra. Six, Seven, and Adam pass through a force field and climb. They open a door with three pendants and are transported to a place with Loralite everywhere. They see a cylinder in the ground that looks like a well. They dump the contents of the chests, their pendants, and Henri's ashes down it. Eight's body reanimates. But it isn't him: it's Lorien speaking. It speaks cryptically and annoys Six, but it temporarily resurrects Eight. Eight kisses Marina one last time before disappearing again. But they find out that the Lorien entity is spreading. Sam, Four, and Walker are driving. On the way, Nine tries to interrogate Sam about Six. Four stops him. Nine claps, wearing a pair of gloves from Marina's chest, and generates a huge noise. The Mogadorians, of course, find them and attack. The heroes are trying to get bystanders to flee. One bystander takes a video of Four using his healing power. They enter the hotel where Sanderson is staying, and see Sanderson. He looks awful and has clearly been taking Mogadorian augmentations. He says that it is too late and then shoots himself in the head. Four somehow stops the bullet with telekinesis and heals him. Sanderson tells them that it is too late to prevent the invasion. A spaceship comes. Sanderson gives Walker names of politicians working for the Mogadorians. They arrive at Setrákus Ra's planned invasion site. Nine breaks Setrákus Ra's staff, and Ra reverts from his human form to the repulsive genetically modified Mogadorian one. Ra uses Dreynen when Number Four attacks. He would have killed Ella, but Four prevented it. Five stops Four from stabbing Setrákus Ra and killing Ella. Four and Five fight, but Five tells Four about the charm on Ella. Four prevents a wave of bullets from hitting Ra and Ra drags Ella back onto his ship. The warship starts to fire. Sam and Four are separated from everyone else except for a group of human survivors. A Piken was after them. It was knocked down with telekinetic force. The implication is that Sam did it. The book ends after the telekinetic blast, and Sam saying, "Holy shit, did I just do that?" ===== As described in a film magazine, discontented cow puncher Gene Stewart (Farnum) makes a bet that he will marry the next woman who comes to town.

Nurse Christy (Rama Prabha) takes care of Rajavelu. One time, Subbu requests his father Thandavam to give Rs. 25 to watch an English movie but he refuses. So Subbu steals one old chair (which Thandavam says to his wife was a Nawab's chair) and sells it in an auction shop for Rs. 25. The auction shop owner sells the chair for Rs. 250 to Appasamy by telling that because of that chair, the Nawab got many kids. Appasamy brings the chair to his house.

Most cases are open-and-shut due to lack of leads, but when heirs are located, he regularly finds them hesitant to accept the deceased's personal property, and so has taken the practice of offering to organize the funeral himself, paid for by district government, writing a eulogy for each deceased, as an incentive. His boss finds this practice time-consuming and expensive, and so has decided to close his office down once he completes one final case: the death of William "Billy" Stoke. When Mr. May, as he is called throughout the story, asks the man's address, he finds out that the deceased was a neighbor he never knew, who lived directly across the apartment building from him, in direct view of his window. Inspecting Stoke's apartment, his sole lead are a series of photographs--one of them of a pork pie factory. Most of the photographs are of an adult woman and a young girl. The many photos of the young girl stop abruptly: there are empty pages in the album, and no photos of a girl much older than ten. John May and others surmise that they were once a wife and daughter, but there are no records or leads, no names, dates or labels, no identification of any kind. He visits the pie bakery and obtains from one of the workers, who remembers Stoke, the address of one of Stoke's former lovers. He visits the woman and asks her if he had ever spoken of a wife or daughter. She says that he had never spoken of a family, and that he had left her for a lady who owned a fish and chips restaurant that Stoke frequented. John travels to where Stoke was living at the time and checks all the fish and chips in town until he locates Stoke's former lover, Mary, her adult daughter, and granddaughter. Mary discloses that Stokes is the father of her daughter, but that he left before he knew of her existence. Mary tells John that they cannot be considered Stoke's kin as "he never wanted a family." She does, however, tell him he abandoned them and landed in prison. At the prison, a guard leads John to some letters Stoke never mailed, where he finds a letter from the young girl in the photo album, making it apparent that she is a daughter who was once part of Stokes' life and family. It contains the name "Kelly" and an address. Another involved search is fruitful: May finds Kelly Stoke, Stoke's other daughter, the daughter he knew. Kelly is taken aback to hear her father is dead, but shows hard feelings from her father's wild ways, and his abandonment of her and her mother when she was young. When May asks about her mother, seeking any leads to anyone connected with Stokes, Kelly discloses that her mother, the adult woman in the photo album and Stoke's former wife, had died three years ago. When May invites Kelly to the funeral, she displays hurt and resentment that are strong enough for her to decline. She gives him a photo of her father with Jumbo, taken when they were serving in the military in the Falklands. Jumbo remembers Stoke fondly, but shows no interest in the funeral. Jumbo refers John to several parks and shelters where he had seen Stoke last. John meets two homeless men there who agree to talk to him in exchange for a drink. However, they, too, show no interest in the funeral. Considering this the end of the line, John returns to his office to ready it for decommissioning. He receives a phone call there from Kelly who has accepted to be Stoke's next of kin. The later part of the film shows quiet scenes that depict John making small changes in his rigid routine: trying new foods and drinks, walking new routes, and being inspired by a story of Billy Stoke's bravado. John meets with Kelly to inform her of what she has inherited, and Kelly invites John to tea, which makes John smile for the first time in the film, under the promise that his loneliness will end. After shopping for some small gifts, he is hit by a New Routemaster and bleeds to death on the asphalt. However, there is no one to locate his next of kin, since the office has closed down. He is buried very close to Stoke's grave, at the same time Stoke's funeral is in progress. Stoke's funeral is attended by all the people John contacted throughout the film on his behalf. Kelly occasionally looks around for John, who was expected at the funeral he had planned, and whom she was to meet for tea after the funeral. As Stoke's military mates in their dress berets, the homeless men, his former wife and girlfriends, and both of his daughters, leave his grave site, Kelly looks over and sees attendants putting the last dirt on a new grave, not knowing that it is John. After Mays' funeral party departs, people begin to appear in the cemetery and walk to John's burial site. A large crowd gathers, and they are shown to be the people whose cases John worked while he was still alive. ===== Durjoy Ray is a terrorist leader who has links with Kamal Pasha, another leader across the border.

Augmentation developer Hanka Robotics establishes a secret project to develop an artificial body, or "shell", that can integrate a human brain rather than an AI. Mira Killian, the sole survivor of a cyberterrorist attack which killed her parents, is chosen as the test subject after her body is damaged beyond repair. Over the objections of her designer Dr. Ouelet, Hanka Robotics CEO, Cutter, decides to use Killian as a counter-terrorism operative. A year later, Killian has attained the rank of Major in the counter-terrorism bureau Section 9, working alongside operatives Batou and Togusa under Chief Daisuke Aramaki. Killian, who experiences hallucinations that Ouelet dismisses as glitches, is troubled by how little she remembers of her past. The team thwarts a terrorist attack on a Hanka business conference, and Killian destroys a robotic geisha after it murders a hostage. After learning that the geisha was hacked by an unknown entity known as Kuze, Killian breaks protocol and "dives" into its AI for answers. The entity attempts a counter-hack, and Batou is forced to disconnect her. They trace the hacker to a yakuza nightclub, where they are lured into a trap. The explosion destroys Batou's eyes and damages Killian's body. Cutter is enraged by Killian's actions, and threatens to have Section 9 shut down unless Aramaki keeps her in line. Kuze tracks down Section 9's Hanka consultant, Dr. Dahlin, and kills her. The team links her murder to the deaths of other senior company researchers and realize that Ouelet is the next target. Kuze takes control of two sanitation workers and sends them to kill Ouelet. Now with cybernetic eyes, Batou kills one while the repaired Killian subdues the other. While they interrogate the worker, Kuze speaks through him before compelling him to commit suicide. Togusa traces the hack to a secret location, where the team discovers a large number of humans mentally linked as a makeshift signal network. Killian is captured and Kuze reveals that he is a failed Hanka test subject from the same project that created Killian. He urges her to question her own memories and to stop taking her medication as it actually helps to block her memories. Kuze then frees her and escapes. Killian confronts Ouelet, who admits that 98 test subjects died before Killian, and that her memories are implanted. Cutter has decided that Killian is a liability and orders Ouelet to kill her after she returns to Hanka Robotics. Instead, Ouelet gives Killian an address and helps her escape. Cutter kills Ouelet, but blames Killian, saying that she has gone rogue. He informs Aramaki and the team that Killian must be terminated. Killian follows the address to an apartment occupied by a widowed mother, who reveals that her daughter, Motoko Kusanagi, ran away from home a year ago and was arrested; while in custody, Motoko took her own life. Killian leaves and contacts Aramaki, who allows Cutter to remotely eavesdrop on their conversation. Batou, Togusa and Aramaki eliminate Cutter's men trying to ambush them, while Killian follows her memories to the hideaway where Motoko was last seen. There, she and Kuze meet and recall their past lives as anti-augmentation radicals who were abducted by Hanka as test subjects. Cutter deploys a "spider-tank" to kill them. Kuze nearly dies before Killian is able to tear off the tank's motor, losing an arm in the process. Mortally wounded, Kuze offers to merge his "ghost" with Killian's, but Killian refuses. Kuze fades out, then a Hanka sniper kills him. Batou and the team rescue Killian, while Aramaki executes Cutter with Killian's consent. The next day, now repaired and embracing her true identity as the Japanese Motoko, Killian reconnects with her mother and returns to work with Section 9. ===== The story of "Tarzan" follows the adventures of an orphan baby, adopted by a family of gorillas and ultimately accepted as one of their own.

The Native communities struggle for survival amidst a pool of greed, corruption, and violence when oil is discovered on Osage allotments. The Osage had purchased their land in Oklahoma after displacement. They were forced to divide their land up into individual allotments, with "excess" land being made available to white settlers. The discovery of oil, although bringing in an era of material wealth also led to Osage women being married by adventurers, all Osage people being put under threat of violence and legal decisions of "incompetence," and wholesale profiteering off of the people. The novel begins with the murder of Grace Blanket and the cover-up of what happened. Grace's daughter, Nola, is now in danger because she was a witness and because she inherits all of her mother's oil-rich land. She is forced to move in with her cousins, the Greyclouds, for protection. Nola soon becomes eligible to marry, but marriage is dangerous as White men view marriage to a Native women with oil land as a business investment and deal. As other Osage continue dying under suspicious circumstances, the evidence suggests that rancher turned oilman, John Hale, is behind the murderous actions. No legal actions are taken until Stace Red Hawk, a "Lakota Sioux working for the U.S. Bureau of Investigation" decides comes to Oklahoma from DC in search of the truth. As the battles between the two worlds mount, Nola and others break away from the greed and start to rediscover their relationship with the land. The novel makes reference to the Osage murders, the land grabs in Oklahoma, the desperate need for the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (1978) as we see that Indian people are denied the right to practice their religious beliefs, and have private ceremonies raided with religious objects being confiscated to go to museums. The murder of Grace Blanket seems especially relevant given the current issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, throughout the Americas, while also resonating with the murder of Anna Mae Aquash (1975), as the most well-known murder case in Indian Country. Hogan portrays multiple views of American Indian religious expression, including the Native American church, sacred fire, the good read road, bat medicine, the character Michael Horse writing a new book of the bible, and even an Catholic priest who thinks he has discovered "Native truths" that the other characters all already know. Hogan's novel takes a pan- Indian as opposed to a strictly tribal approach to fictionalization of history because, although the Osage murders are the premise of the book, the character development and parallel stories focus on a wider Indian community, which includes mixed-bloods and folks with different tribal ancestry. Osage critic and literary scholar Robert Allen Warrior took great exception to Hogan, a Chickasaw author, for not telling the tale as a strictly Osage story, which he sees as supremely disrespectful to Osage history (citation needed). ===== Anand Mathur lives a middle-class lifestyle along with his sister, Asha, and retired Magistrate and widower dad in Bombay's suburbs and studies in Mithibai College of Arts.

Madeline is an orphan, coming from neither family nor money, but maintains a positive attitude and is best friends with another girl, Aggie. One night, Madeline is stricken with appendicitis and taken to the hospital, where Madeline undergoes an appendectomy. During her stay there, Madeline meets Lady Covington, the terminally ill wife of the school's board of trustees member, Lord Covington. Unlike her husband, Lady Covington cares deeply for the school and the girls, having attended the school herself in her youth. Lady Covington asks a favor of Madeline; she carved her birth name, Marie Gilbert, into one of the dorm's bed frames and she would like for Madeline to find out if her name is still there. Unfortunately, a few days later, when Madeline is ready to leave the hospital, she learns from Miss Clavel that Lady Covington has died. But, true to her promise, Madeline searches for her name under the beds, finding it under her own. After her hospital stay, Madeline finds that the Spanish ambassador has purchased the property next door to the school and that he also has a son, Pepito, who is around Madeline's age. While the other girls are smitten with Pepito, Madeline is irritated by the noise created by the boy riding around on his Vespa. Shortly after the ambassador's arrival, Lord Covington announces he plans on closing the school due to the death of his wife. Miss Clavel, unnerved by Pepito's bothering her girls, attempts to make peace with the boy by giving his tutor, Leopold, a tool box for him, in hopes that it will distract him from his obnoxious ways. However, her actions are unsuccessful as Pepito steals Madeline's drawing pad and write "Beware" with a vicious drawing in it before inviting the girls to his birthday party. During the party, Pepito unnerves his guests (except Madeline) by showing them a mouse and joking about killing it, either by feeding him to his snake or executing him using a guillotine he made using the tool box he'd received as a gift from Miss Clavel. Madeline, angered by Pepito's threats to harm the innocent and tiny animal, brutally attacks him and releases all of his mice, causing the guests to flee in horror and Miss Clavel to faint, which results in the girls' visit getting cut short, much to Pepito's amusement. On the way back to the school, Madeline takes Pepito's Vespa keys in an act of revenge. While out on a daily walk, Madeline accidentally falls into the Seine while standing on the ledge of a bridge going over the river. She is rescued by a stray dog, whom she names Genevieve, and emerges from the ordeal relatively unscathed, save for a cold. While sick in bed, Madeline is displeased to watch Leopold teach Pepito, frustrated over the loss of his keys, how to start his scooter with a paper clip. However, her anger disperses when she discovers that Genevieve has followed her to the school and convinces Miss Clavel who has dog allergies to let her golden haired savior live in the shed. Wanting to save the school Madeline forms an alliance with Pepito, enlisting his help to sabotage Lord Covington's attempts to sell the property but her efforts are ultimately discovered by Lord Covington, who initially blames Miss Clavel. Madeline takes responsibility for her involvement, though Lord Covington is unmoved by her apology or the motivation behind her actions when she makes a Freudian slip and calls him "Cucuface" and, after leaving, he turns Genevieve loose into the night in an act of retaliation against her and the girls. Upset over the loss of Genevieve, Miss Clavel takes the girls to a circus in hopes of cheering them up and Madeline, fearing she'll have no place to go as an orphan once the school closes, makes the decision to join the circus, hoping to make friends and find a home within the community there. After telling Aggie of her plans and making her swear not to tell, Madeline leaves the group and unintentionally stumbles upon Leopold, with the help of a trio of clowns known as "The Idiots," kidnapping Pepito, hoping to hold him for ransom, and, while trying to intervene, is abducted as well. Luckily, Leopold and the Idiots leave the two children alone with a motorcycle, which Madeline uses her hair clip to start and convinces Pepito to drive, though he is initially reluctant as he drives a Vespa. The two are pursued by Leopold and the Idiots but Miss Clavel, having learned of Madeline's running away from Aggie, goes driving in search of her (finding and picking up Genevieve along the way) and, narrowly avoiding a collision with the two children on the bike, is able to cause the Idiots to crash into a lake. The police arrive and arrest the kidnappers, while Miss Clavel, Madeline, Pepito and Genevieve head back to the school. At the school, Lord Covington arrives and happily shares that he's sold the property to the ambassador of Uzbekistan. Madeline realises that Lord Covington is merely trying to sell the school. He at first dismisses her sympathy but Madeline speaks earnestly to Lord Covington about her own family being gone and says that Lady Covington is still with him and with the school and Miss Clavel, knowing Madeline is fearful of having no one if the school were to shut down, assures her that they'll be together, regardless of what happens. While Lord Covington is moved by Madeline's words and sincerity, he regretfully tells her and the girls that there's nothing he can do as he's already sold the property but, in a happy twist, the ambassador, also moved by Madeline, decides to back out of the sale. The film then concludes with a montage accompanied by Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World", and changes back to a book setting, as the word, "Fin" appears.

There, Tatsuo glimpses Takuji’s bedridden father and callous mother, and meets his world-weary older sister Chinatsu Ohshiro (Chizuru Ikewaki).

Hongi does not trust the rival tribe's leader, Wirepa, and follows him. As Hongi suspected, the visit is a ruse, and Wirepa desecrates the grave site as a pretext for war, blaming Hongi for disturbing the remains. Tane believes his son is innocent, but offers to kill Hongi if it will prevent war. Wirepa refuses, saying war is imminent. Wirepa's tribe returns later in force, kills the men of the tribe and beheads Tane, taking his head as a trophy. Hongi is knocked away from the battle, and survives. Hongi leaves and attempts to track down Wirepa. On the way, he discovers that Wirepa and his men have entered the Dead Lands, an area where any men who venture into are believed to be killed by a monster. Hongi, suspecting that the monster is in fact a man, tracks him down and, although reluctant, the monster agrees to help Hongi hunt down Wirepa. The monster is in fact a warrior (who is never named in the film) who murdered all the men of his own tribe, and he kills anyone who ventures there to prevent his tribe's historic lands from being occupied. The warrior is motivated by a desire to redeem himself and thus be led to the afterlife by his vengeful ancestors. While tracking down Wirepa, Hongi has a series of visions of his long dead grandmother, who helps them on their way. Hongi and the warrior track down Wirepa, and several of his men are killed before Wirepa and his surviving warriors flee. Hongi and the warrior go after them, and the warrior kills a small band of hunters they come across to keep his identity a secret. Hongi is devastated by this, and screams at the warrior. The two separate, but the warrior has a vision from his ancestors that convinces him to continue helping Hongi. Wirepa and his men are tracked to a mountaintop fort, where they barricade themselves inside. Wirepa taunts Hongi with his fathers head, angering him, but the warrior convinces him to regroup and return later. Wirepa's men leave Tane's head on a spike, and most of the men leave the fort. Again, this is a ruse by Wirepa to lure Hongi in. However, when the trap is sprung, the warrior and Hongi get the upper hand and kill most of Wirepa's men. While Hongi battles Wirepa, the warrior is severely wounded but manages to return and save Hongi. Wirepa, distracted from his battle with Hongi, beats the warrior to the ground before returning his attention to Hongi. This time Hongi gains the upper hand, and is about to kill Wirepa. This pleases Wirepa, because it will allow him to be remembered as a great warrior who died in battle about whom songs will be sung, and stories will be told. Hongi denies Wirepa this honor, spares his life and makes him swear to leave his land, and allows him to leave. Defeated and alone, Wirepa walks off in shame.
