Her dogs disappear one day while she is giving a local woman, Dobra Nowina, a ride to the store. She confronts her neighbour who she calls "Big Foot" who is also a local hunter. One night, she is awaken by another neighbour, Swierszcynski ("Matoga") who informs her that Big Foot is dead. They attend his place and end up moving the body from the floor to the bed. Duszejko is questioned by the local police chief and she makes her complaints about her missing dogs. The police dismiss her complaints. After meeting with Duszejko the police chief meets with Jaroslav Wnetzak a local businessman who gives the chief an ultimatum about the money the chief owes. Duszejko complains to the local priest about her dogs but she is chastised for being blasphemous to treat animals like humans. Duszejko is disturbed by the local hunting activity and the killing of animals in area. Duszejko attempts to interrupt a local hunt but is stopped and humiliated by Wnetzak. In the winter time, she and Dyzio, an IT person hired by the police, see the police chief's abandoned vehicle at night. They discover the chief's body nearby. He is dead with a blow to the head and there are animal tracks near the body. She is questioned by the prosecutor, who is Swierszcynski' son, about the body. She talks about the tracks she found and her theory of astrology. The prosecutor dismisses her theories. Duszejko befriends Dyzio and Nowina who now works for Wnetzak - both at the local store and a brothel Wnetzak runs. Dyzio is thankful to Duszejko for keeping his epilepsy a secret. Nowina has a younger brother who is being abused by their father. Nowina has attempted to gain custody of her brother but learns that Wnetzak has reported her as unfit twice. Duszejko offers to help with getting custody of Nowina's brother. Later Duszejko discover the body of a young boar and attempts to report an off-season killing of the boar. She is laughed off by the police. In the summer, Duszejko meets Czech entomologist Boros Schneider in the forest. He has discovered Wnetzak's body and reports it to the police. The body has been in the forest for months. Duszejko and Boros begin a romantic relationship and Boros explains to her about pheromones that attract certain beetles. Duszejko is questioned by the prosecutor about Wnetzak's death. She proffers a theory that the victims were killed by animals since they were all hunters. Nowina is initially arrested for Wnetzak's death because of threats she made against him. In the summer Duszejko goes to a costumed ball attended by all the locals. She sees the drunken mayor Wolski abusing his wife, telling her to wait in the car while he continues his partying. Duszejko comforts the wife and tells her to go home and that she will look after Wolski and make sure he gets home. The next day police show up at her place. They place her under arrest for Wolski's death because she was the last one to see the mayor alive. She said that she went to check on the mayor that evening but nobody knew where he was. She said she assumed someone else took him home. She then explains her theory of astrology to the police who get flustered at her and release her. She attends a church service and is very upset by the priest's sermon which gives thanks to the hunters. She gets hysterical and is removed from the church. While outside the church she sees a magpie carrying an object to the church tower (earlier she had said magpies start fires by carrying lighted cigarette butts to their nests). Duszejko then has a flashback about the death of the police chief. She was the one who killed the police chief by striking him on the head when she accidentally came upon him while skiing. She then makes animal tracks around the body. She rushes home and attempts to flee but her vehicle would not start. There is another flashback where she lures Wnetzak to the forest using a ruse about money she had found. She strikes him in the head until he dies. She then goes to Wnetzak's fox farm and release all the animals. Dyzio, who is with Nowina, recalls that the mayor's body was covered with beetles and that Duszejko would carry pheromones that attracted the beetles. Dyzio then reasons that Duszejko was responsible for all the deaths. Dyzio then learns the church is on fire and the priest is dead. Dyzio and Nowina decide to go to see Magota for what to do. They find Magota sitting with Duszejko at her kitchen table. They hand Nowina a photo which shows all the local hunters displaying the spoils of a hunt which included Duszejko's two dogs. Duszejko said she found the photo at Big Foot's place after his death. Duszejko then recounts Wolski's death. She found him alone after the party and he is sick and asks Duszejko to take him home. She confronts him about shooting her dogs and he admits it but said he didn't know they were her dogs. She then tells him to drink the pheromones she had with her. She then walks him into the forest under the guise of taking him home. Magota, Dyzio and Nowina decide they will help Duszejko and manage to sneak her out of town. The police are onto Duszejko and are out in full force in an attempt to arrest her. Dyzio uses his IT skills to cut the power to the town and allows them to escape. In the final scene Duszejko, Magota, Dyzio, Nowina, Nowina's brother, Boros are all having lunch happily in a home in the country. The Polish- language title, Pokot, is a hunting term that refers to the count of wild animals killed. The English title Spoor refers to the traces and tracks left behind by the hunted game.

He was caught by the Prasad (Sreeja's husband) near a canal in the same city and was brought back to the police station. In the police station, he claims that one police officer called ASI Chandran who caught him from the bus had told him to run away when he gets the chain.

Sreeja's husband (Prasad) finds the chain and starts his dream of house in the city he wanted to. In the next scene, Prasad is found writing a thanks letter to Sreeja maybe for her truth statement in the court which frees Prasad (thief) and also might have helped him to get the gold chain given by the police to Sreeja to change her statement to make Prasad (Prasad) guilty. ===== The novel takes the form of a loosely-coupled collection of short stories presenting a sweeping tapestry of historical episodes, from the Vikings through centuries of Norman, French, Flemish, English, Scottish and American scenes.

The film ends with the Lindel family at another picnic. ===== The first hour of the film follows a group of young revolutionaries as they orchestrate an elaborate plan that involves the planting of bombs across the city of Paris. It is revealed via flashback that the bombs are made of a substance called semtex, which has been provided to the young terrorists (all either teens or university students) by Greg, the only independent adult in the group. Their plan involves the planting of bombs in cars, high-rises, and government buildings, assassinating the head of HSBC France, and setting fire to the Jeanne d'Arc. Sarah, her boyfriend David, and Yacine each infiltrates the floor of a skyscraper to plant a bomb, aided by Fred, an accomplice who works as a security guard at the target buildings. Whilst searching David's floor, Fred finds and shoots to death an innocent office worker who was attending a call. This alerts another security guard, who kills Fred despite his appeals. David hears this from a neighboring hallway and runs, throwing away his bomb without having set it. After detonating the bombs remotely, the young terrorists all convene to a department store situated in the heart of Paris, intending to stay there until evening of the next day so as to escape the attention of the authorities. The rest of the group consists of André, Samir, his sister Sabrina, and Mika, the youngest in the group. They hide while the security team searches through it looking for stragglers. One of their number, Omar, turns out to be another accomplice to the terrorists. He tells the group that he has bound and gagged the rest of the security team and shut down all the security cameras (it is revealed later that he shot and killed the guards). To their dismay, the group realizes that two of their number are missing: Fred and Greg. David informs them of Fred's death, but the fate of Greg, whose task was to assassinate the bank executive, remains a mystery. The group spends the night at the store, eating food from the grocery store and stealing clothes from boutiques. Omar turns some TVs on display on, allowing the group an insight into the state of the world outside. A panic has spread as the authorities search for the bombers, and this knowledge satisfies the group. They remain agitated, however, worrying about whether Greg has been captured and been coerced into revealing their whereabouts. David leaves the store to smoke. He encounters a homeless man whom he feels sorry for and invites into the mall for food, telling him his father owns the store and has allowed him and some friends run of the place. The man declines, saying he is waiting for his wife, but David insists upon leaving the door wedged open, in case the couple should want to enter. In another excursion outside, he meets a cyclist, who he asks for information about the state of affairs in the city. She informs him that the authorities are still searching for the perpetrators of the bombings, which she believes "were bound to happen," echoing the inevitability of something André said to Sarah earlier in the film: "Civilization is a condition for the downfall of civilization." When David returns, he finds his fellow renegades even more on-edge, now partaking in impromptu performances and applying makeup onto each other and themselves. Mika has a dream of Greg walking up to him and telling him he forgot to hide his gun, which exposed him. Greg tells him he committed suicide on the streets and asks him if he would have done the same before disappearing, leaving a mannequin in his place, which severely unnerves Mika. Sarah screams when she sees the homeless man and his wife walking up the escalators, having taken David up on his offer. David consoles the group, telling them they have nothing to fear, and they begrudgingly concede to allowing the homeless couple access to the store. David and Sarah have sex, after which he turns a TV on to learn that the authorities are aware that the terrorists are holed up in the store, and are gearing up for action. He informs André of this development in a panic, and is told to hold-off from telling the others. He returns to Sarah, who is fast asleep. André sets up the remainder of the semtex against some pillars, planning on using at as leverage when the authorities arrive. David eventually informs the rest of the group of the incoming forces and they all hide across the shop once again in anticipation, deathly afraid. A squad of heavily armed police storms the store, and the youngsters attempt to surrender, holding up their arms and appearing passive. The police remorselessly shoot every single person regardless, including the homeless couple. In quick succession, all the young members of the team are gunned down, with their attempts to bargain or plea failing without exception, leaving a string of bodies embellishing the floors of the dark store. ===== On Christmas Eve, Elmo's father Louie tells his son about how Sesame Street was a dreary place in the 19th century as its inhabitants lack the Christmas spirit enough for Santa Claus to not make a stop there and is enforced by a constable that is Mr. Johnson's ancestor.

While the Borden family are prominent members of the community, Lizzie's day- to-day life is under the strict domain of her father. One day, an Irish immigrant, Bridget Sullivan, moves in to the Borden residence to work as a servant. That night, Lizzie attends an opera and has a seizure during the performance. After she recovers, she and Bridget quickly form a close bond as Lizzie attempts to give the illiterate Bridget a formal education. On several occasions, the household is disrupted by trespassers and written threats, which Lizzie believes are connected to her father's recent acquisition of land. Lizzie overhears a discussion between her father and her uncle John, the town constable and brother of Lizzie and Emma's deceased mother; during the discussion, Andrew imparts that his estate be bestowed to Abby rather than his daughters. The next morning, Lizzie raids Abby's jewelry casket and hocks its contents to a local pawnbroker, staging the scene as though an intruder robbed the house. Enraged over the apparent robbery, Andrew unleashes his anger by killing Lizzie's pet pigeons, which he has Bridget prepare for dinner. One morning, Bridget becomes distraught after receiving a letter from Ireland disclosing her mother's death. Late that night, Lizzie finds her father sexually assaulting Bridget in the attic servants' quarters. Lizzie smashes a hand mirror in her bedroom and sprinkles the glass on the staircase, causing Andrew to cut his feet when leaving. Lizzie and Bridget's bond grows increasingly close, and with Bridget able to write, the two leave letters for one another around the house. Their relationship eventually becomes romantic. One afternoon, Andrew witnesses Lizzie and Bridget having sex in the barn. He confronts Lizzie about the affair the next day, and forbids her from speaking to Bridget. That night, Lizzie burns her father's will in the kitchen stove. The next day, August 4, Andrew and Abby's bodies are found in the house, both bludgeoned with a hatchet. Law enforcement swiftly suspects Lizzie is responsible, though Emma proclaims her sister's innocence. Lizzie is formally charged with both murders, and stands a closed trial. Bridget visits Lizzie in jail, and tells her she wishes never to speak to her again, before boarding a train to Montana. A climactic flashback shows both Lizzie and Bridget carrying out the murders: That morning, Lizzie strips nude and hides in Abby's bedroom while Andrew goes for his morning walk. Bridget brings Abby a doctored telegram notifying her of a friend's illness. When Abby rushes to her room to prepare to leave, Lizzie bludgeons her multiple times in the face and head with a hatchet. Bridget, outside washing windows, is sickened by the sounds and vomits. Lizzie cleans herself and redresses. When Andrew returns, she tells him she is going outside to pick fruit. Meanwhile, Bridget undresses and confronts Andrew in the den, armed with a hatchet, but hesitates. Lizzie re- enters the house, and seeing Bridget's resistance, takes the hatchet from her and kills Andrew herself. After, Lizzie butchers a pigeon with the murder weapon, smearing it with the bird's blood before sawing off the blade and hiding it in a pail in the basement. She then burns her blood-spattered dress in the kitchen stove. Lizzie is ultimately acquitted of the murders, and lives the remainder of her life in Fall River, ostracized by the community and estranged from Emma. She dies at age 66, and leaves the majority of her estate to the local humane society. Bridget remains in Montana for the rest of her life where she eventually dies, aged 82. ===== Manji is a samurai on the run after following his superior's order to kill a corrupt lord and his followers.

He stumbles upon an eyepatch-wearing girl as she boards an elevator to the hospital's abandoned basement, ignoring Koichi's attempts to communicate. Three weeks later, Koichi enters Yomiyama North Middle School as a transfer student of Class 3-3. Yomiyama is his deceased mother's childhood home, and, while his father is abroad in India, Koichi is temporarily staying there alongside his grandmother and aunt, Reiko, who is also Class 3-3's homeroom teacher. The eyepatch girl, Mei Misaki, is one of his classmates, but he is confused as others are apparently unaware of her existence. Koichi suspects that Mei is a ghost once told about a student named Misaki who died years ago. However, he quickly realizes that Mei is very much alive, only that her existence is ignored by the entire school. Despite others' attempt to dissuade him from contacting Mei, Koichi continues to gather information about her, learning that beneath the eyepatch, she has a glass eye in place of her left eye. She claims that she is able to see a death aura using it, thus recognizing which people are about to die or already died. When a student is trying to stop him from talking with Mei, she suffers a fatal freak accident in which her neck becomes stabbed by the sharp end of an umbrella. Another accident occurs during Koichi's visit to Yumigaoka Hospital, in which his nurse is killed by glass impaling her head. The next day, Koichi discovers that for disobeying the rule of not talking with Mei, the entire school punishes him by also ignoring his existence. This allows Koichi to finally befriend Mei for good. Koichi and Mei gather more information about the freak accidents from their teacher, Tatsuji Chibiki. Chibiki tells them the truth about the accidents, which are actually a curse connected to Misaki Yomiyama, a student of Class 3-3 who died 26 years ago. After his death, his classmates, unable to let him go, kept pretending that he was still around, even leaving an empty chair for him. However, this created an anomaly in which for every year afterward, a dead person would be a part of the class. Due to the extra body count, another student has to offer themselves to be excluded for the entire year; if the rule is broken, nature is compelled to "delete" the class members one by one. Also, a mass amnesia affects the class for the duration of the year, so everyone would not know the identity of the deceased, even the person in question themselves. After two more people die from the curse, Koichi and Mei discover a tape in an abandoned classroom. The tape, recorded by a Class 3-3 student from the year 1983, is a method on how to temporarily end the curse: by killing the extra person during the school trip held in August. During the trip, the two are allowed to mingle with their classmates, as Reiko decides that since deaths still occur despite the student exclusion method, they will have to try other methods. As Mei is adjusting her eyepatch, she looks at Reiko and realizes that she is the extra person. However, she is distracted by students uncovering the contents of the tape and spreading the news around, causing them to turn on each other. The commotion kills at least four people, including Chibiki, and sets the hotel on fire. Despite Koichi's attempt to save her, Reiko, learning about Mei's discovery, decides to let herself die and stop the curse. Several days later, everyone in Yomiyama has forgotten about Reiko being there for the year. Koichi and Mei record another tape for juniors about the clues in ending the curse (the old one having been destroyed during the school trip). As his father has come home, Koichi leaves Yomiyama and bids Mei goodbye. 14 years later, Koichi visits Yomiyama North to hand the tape to a student of Class 3-3, whose classroom teacher is revealed to be Chibiki. ===== Whilst playing with a toy plane, Jenny Barber and her brother, Tim, meet a scientist, Ram Pandit, who is working on a secret invention.

They quickly lose communication with the fishing boat which was damaged in the storm as well and all appears lost. The men are later contacted by the navy frigate HMS Marlborough, learning that the fishing boat relayed their distress call to the frigate. However, the men do not know their exact coordinates and as a result, it will take hours for the Marlborough to find them. Running out of air, Engel makes a near-fatal dive to recover more cylinders from the pipeline's drywall chambers. With the Marlborough still struggling to find the men, Mitchell makes a dive to bring their locator beacon closer to the surface. However, while Mitchell succeeds, he is stung several times by jellyfish in the process and dies. The Marlborough is able to locate the bell, but requires at least an hour to get rescue divers to Jones and Engel. Lacking enough time, Engel attempts to float the bell to the surface, but it gets stuck away. With no other choice, Engel realizes that one of the men must use the remaining dive helmet and swim to the surface. Engel chooses to sacrifice himself to save Jones, sharing a story of how his selfishness in the past cost a young boy his life. Though Jones develops bleeding from the mouth due to decompression sickness given his fast ascent, he reaches the surface and is rescued by teams from the Marlborough. After learning that Jones has been rescued and with the bell out of oxygen and flooding, Engel tries and fails to make the swim himself and drowns. ===== Jenny, an "ambitious, feisty advertising executive" kidnapped by a clown after having her drink spiked in a bar, and is raped.

That evening, he meets with his boss, Yoshio Yamamori, who insists that he honor his commitment to the family by finishing his target off. Two other family members, lieutenant Naotake Aoki and senior officer Shigeru Nanba, arrive to collect Yamamori; Aoki gives Makio his gun to kill Boss Asada. Makio accepts responsibility for his crime and is sentenced to eight years in prison. Nine years later, Makio is visited by both Yamamori and Aoki and learns that the family is divided, with Yamamori claiming that Aoki is jealous of his success and wants to seize power for himself, and Aoki countering the boss's accusations by stating that Yamamori forced himself on his girlfriend while he was serving time several years earlier and that he is too old and useless to lead the family. Makio makes parole and Yamamori instructs his nephew Kenji to provide Makio with a room, a monthly salary, and a crew led by Makio's childhood friend Noburo Kitami for protection. Makio correctly suspects that all of these gifts are intended to win his favor. When the whole family visits to celebrate Makio's release, Yamamori and his wife resort to bribing Makio to kill Aoki, but he refuses, stating that Aoki is his blood brother and he will not harm him. However, news then arrives from Kure that Aoki's men have assassinated Nanba, allowing Aoki to take his place as blood brother to Hiroshima boss Unokichi Kaizu. Aoki also intends to have Nanba's subordinate Masuo Nozaki, who is loyal to him, succeed Nanba against the wishes of many Nanba family members, including Makio's old cellmate Masaru Seki. Makio, accompanied by his girlfriend Keiko and Kitami, visits Aoki to assess the situation. Aoki's wife convinces Keiko that Makio plans to kill Aoki, and they have a violent argument that ends with Keiko scarring Makio with a knife and leaving him. Aoki himself offers Makio the chance to leave the yakuza; when he refuses, he arranges for a hitman to kill Makio while he's distracted by a prostitute. Makio escapes with his life, and convinces Aoki to give him money so he can travel to Shikoku and swear loyalty to another family, saying he has no place in Yamamori's organization. Aoki moves against his enemies, humiliating Yamamori and forcing him to dissolve his family, and having Nozaki carry out a hit on Seki, who narrowly survives. Yamamori persuades one of his former family members, Gen Sakagami, to approach Makio with a plan to assassinate Aoki with the help of Seki's crew. Makio agrees to break off his blood oath with Aoki, thus ending his obligation to protect him, but refuses to help otherwise. The hit, scheduled to take place during a ceremony to name Nozaki as Nanba's successor, fails when the police suddenly arrive to take Nozaki into custody for attacking Seki. The crew loses their nerve and force Gen to promise that Makio will kill Aoki instead. Enraged, Makio formulates a new plan. He has Kitami visit the crew to intimidate them into taking action, tells Gen that he will be responsible for setting a trap for Aoki, and offers his finger to Kaizu in return for a promise that his family will not interfere. The next morning, Gen invites Aoki to a meal before signaling to the crew, who manage to seriously wound but not kill Aoki. Seki, having left the hospital in secret, confronts a dying Aoki and shoots him, which Kitami witnesses and reports to Makio. Yamamori celebrates his return to power, and promotes Makio for his loyal service.

It's revealed - through non-linear narrative - that after arguing in their car, the couple suffered a rollover accident off a cliff in a remote area, pinning both passengers upside-down in the vehicle. Distraught from her injuries and unable to make communication with an unresponsive Scotty, Nicole fails to finish dialing "911" on her mobile phone due to a cracked touchscreen. She uses her car phone to reach out to friend Donna; however, the answering machine fails to detect anyone speaking and terminates the call. Attempts to dial random numbers for help are also unsuccessful until she reaches "Casey" (Madsen), who has just gotten out of bed. At first, the man appears engaged and sympathetic to Nicole's situation but quickly takes amusement in her crisis and the health risks of ischaemia from cut-off blood circulation. Nicole doesn't catch on to Casey's torment until it's clear that he has no interest in tracing her call for a rescue team; he has discovered her celebrity status by searching her name on Wikipedia, and decides to use it to his own abusive advantage. Casey's particular focus is Nicole's codependent relationship with Scotty - a bad boy known for a string of abusive past relationships - and questions why she doesn't date run-of-the-mill "nice guys", which Casey facetiously refers as himself in third person. The conversation between them quickly devolves into a psychological battle of wits, all whilst Nicole wards off a wolf and tries to remain calm when a rattlesnake slithers into her car, circling her neck and Scotty's before she kills it with a shard of glass. The wolf returns and begins to gnaw at Scotty's head, suggesting that he died from the crash. Hungry, thirsty and increasingly more desperate, Nicole is unable to disconnect the line with Casey, and the wreck apparently misses the scope of a helicopter's searchlight. As the totaled vehicle begins to catch fire, Nicole manages to squeeze her legs out of the loosened dashboard and climbs out of the car. Unable to walk, she crawls away from the fiery wreck when an unknown man in camouflaged pants approaches and drags her in another direction, asking again (in Casey's voice) why she dated Scotty. She finally replies, "because I didn't deserve better". The unknown man turns into Nicole's alter ego and replies to her that she does deserve better, before turning into one of the rescue personnel. Nicole looks back at her burning car and says, "they're gone", leaving the existence of the caller as ambiguous since he shared Nicole's full birth name and knew what was going on the whole time. ===== The plot concerns the visit of a lieutenant, Sokolsky, to the house of Susanna Rothstein, the Jewish owner of a vodka distillery, to collect a debt owed to Sokolsky's married cousin Kryukov, but in fact which Sokolsky hopes that Kryukov will lend on to himself so he can marry his fiancee.

After awkwardly introducing each other, the two promise to meet again in the following days. With the help of his friend, Shoichi Ueyama, Takatoshi asks for a date with Emi, at the end of which he confesses his love for her. Takatoshi finds Emi to be strange, being able to predict things that would happen to him, with the tendency to cry whenever he does something nice to her. She also never wants to spend time with him after midnight. After the two consummate their relationship on March 1, Takatoshi discovers Emi's journal that she purposefully left on the table. Much to his confusion, Emi wrote them as if she races through time backwards: the first page is dated March 16, and the last February 15. The next day, Emi reveals that she is a being from a world in which time runs backwards; what humans perceive as the future she already experienced as her past, and vice versa. Emi has been watching Takatoshi from afar since he was young; she was the adult woman who rescued him from drowning at the age of 5. Because her memories of him fade as time goes on (and her time goes backwards), she keeps a journal to remind her of him. She also tells him that they can only be together for a month every five years, and because 20 is the only time their age matches, the current month is the last time where they can pursue a relationship. Takatoshi initially feels conflicted of the fake nature of his and Emi's relationship. However, he is encouraged by Ueyama to pursue it nevertheless. On March 16, the last day they would be together as equals, Takatoshi draws a sketch of Emi, then the two wait for the day to pass at the train station where they first met, after which Emi disappears. Five years later, Takatoshi meets with 15-year-old Emi and gives her her sketch. A further ten years later, Takatoshi rescues 5-year- old Emi from a festival fire. The film then cuts to a montage of the film presented from Emi's perspective, i.e. backwards, ending with her and Takatoshi's introduction on February 15, her last day she met him as equals. ===== Saburo (Shun Oguri) is a high school student good in sports, but not very good with his studies.

However, he has not heard from her for days and is worried about what might have happened to her. Bernier's friend Robert tries in vain to comfort him.

Ali Pasha cannot bear her laments and complaints and orders her to forget Bernier since she now belongs to him alone. The other women in the harem are unwilling to raise Arianna's hopes and instead advise her that the only way to survive her suffering is to submit herself to fate and Ali Pasha's will.

She has travelled for nine days from Revolution-torn Paris, carrying a secret message from her Anglophile master to Prime Minister Pitt. She had been told Pitt was in his constituency; now she learns he is at Stowe. She speaks little English, has been robbed on the way and is destitute. She is rescued by Samuel Plampin of Trinity, 45, Doctor of Divinity, King's Reader in Hebrew at the University, and Vicar of St Peter's Babraham. A bachelor (as Fellows had to be then) and hoping for a little adventure, he offers her hospitality for the night. (He is fluent in French, having spent six months in Paris in 1772 "bear-leading a rich lordling".Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.36) Next day they travel to Stowe, where Sophie learns from Pitt that her master has been killed and that she cannot safely return to France. Plampin, already drawn to her ("I had forgotten how exhilarating a clever woman can be" Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.36) invites her to remain with him as his housekeeper. :His very ears seemed dumbly to protest, as they heard his mouth utter this egregious folly.Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.61 She accepts. A friendship develops. He is kind and amusing, regaling her with anecdotes from the parish and University. An Enlightenment man, he is attracted by her French grace, wit and good sense. On New Year's Eve he proposes marriage; she declines, but agrees to be his mistress. Villagers and University colleagues guess the truth. "Come down off it, Tim Tolliday," says a villager to Plampin's coachman in the 'George' one evening, when the latter has been defending "Emmy Grays" and "Parson's Mamzell". "We all knows what Frenchies be." Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.91 In an excruciating scene the unimaginative Reverend Aaron Knatchbull of neighbouring Hadworth proposes to Sophie, in vain. Ten years pass, happy for Plampin, content for Sophie – "though there were moments when she would feel stifled among these East Anglian cabbages, buried alive in these foggy turnip-fields" Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.119 – years clouded only by heresy-hunts of supposed Jacobins in Cambridge and grim news from France. The Peace of 1802 brings the chance for émigrés to return home and for the British to travel abroad once more. Madame Letourneur longs to see her daughter again; Plampin welcomes the chance of a holiday. But in Paris things start to go wrong. So much that Plampin had admired about the France of his youth has been swept away (though he had begun by admiring the Revolution). The old values have been replaced by vulgarity, aggressiveness, Napoleonic fervour. Plampin grows irritable and finds himself at loggerheads with Sophie's brother Charles, a cocky young Captain of Hussars, who regards the English doctor as grotesque and a poor match for his sister. Only the gracious Madame Letourneur is true to the France Plampin loved. Sophie meets Victor Duroc, Captain of Engineers, a former childhood friend. She grows uneasy and three times begs Plampin to take her back to England: but he is now enjoying the Bibliothèque nationale and the art treasures recently taken from Italy by Bonaparte. He brushes aside her fears. Growing estranged, she goes to amusements without him, wears make-up, dresses in the Grecian style. They quarrel. Victor, she admits to her mother, makes her feel for the first time in her life "alive". One day Plampin returns from the library to find her gone. A sad, guilt-ridden letter from Sophie informs him that she is now Madame Duroc and on her way to Saint-Domingue in the Caribbean. :He understood too well. In the grey light of disillusion, he saw now his own past folly; as a traveller who has climbed some height leading only into a wilderness, not homeward, looking back too late through the last pallors of sunset, sees all too clearly how and where he went astray.Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.240 Plampin suffers an immediate collapse. With sensitivity and tact, Madame Letourneur nurses him; at the earliest opportunity he returns to England. Babraham and Cambridge buzz with gossip about his solo return. He is nicknamed "Doctor Dido" by unkind colleagues and students. Home is full of sad reminders of Sophie. His faith lost, Plampin can no longer bear his ecclesiastical duties, resigns his living, and returns to college. No longer believing in scholarship or the future, he abandons his life-work, A Natural History of Enthusiasm (planned as a sly Gibbonian counterblast to all things Romantic). The Combination-Room is stifling with petty rivalries and malice. He finds solace for his unhappiness by tutoring bright young students, by botanizing among the hedgerows and woods of East Anglia, and by visits to the North and the West Country. Ten lonely years pass. One day a letter from old Madame Letourneur brings news that both Sophie and Victor Duroc are dead, drowned in the crossing of the Beresina in November 1812 during the Retreat from Moscow. In the Combination-Room on New Year's Eve 1812, as the port goes round, Plampin is taunted by a colleague for having taken "one French lesson too many". "If you refer to the lady who did me the honour to keep house for me," replies Plampin, breathing heavily, "I have had my last lesson from her." Lucas, Doctor Dido, p.313 He reads to the hushed gathering a letter dictated to an orderly by Captain Charles Letourneur, now a mutilé de guerre, describing the horrors of the Crossing of the Beresina and the details of Sophie's death (she had abandoned the safety of Danzig to nurse her wounded husband during the retreat). In the silence that follows, Plampin walks out. One of the dons acidly quotes Scripture: "The lips of a strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword." Proverbs, 5:3-4 The uneasy talk that follows is broken by the entry of a college servant, who has just found Plampin hanged. ===== After her partner dies in a climbing accident when he was cut loose by the rest of his group, Ruth, now heavily pregnant, becomes convinced that her foetus is compelling her to murder and she tracks down the other people who were involved in the climbing accident for revenge.

Her baby thus is delivered quickly via emergency caesarean section.

Ruth takes this time to kiss her baby goodbye and go off to the cliffs to kill one last time. ===== The film is set in 1983, Czechoslovakia. Mária Drazdechová becomes a teacher at a suburban school near Bratislava. She uses her position to blackmail parents of her students to get benefits from them. Students whose parents disobey are bullied and given bad grades. The head teacher is afraid to intervene as Drazdechová is chairperson of the school Communist Party branch. One of Drazdechová's students attempts suicide as a result of the bullying. This induces the school principal to call the parents for a meeting about a petition to remove Drazdechová from the school. There are parents whose children were bullied by Drazdechová and others who support her. Most of the parents are afraid of the teacher's connections and do not want to sign. The meeting ends in failure as only three families sign. It seems that Drazdechová has won, but some families later change their minds and return to sign the petition. This results in Drazdechová being removed from the school. The film shifts to 1991, two years after the Velvet Revolution. Drazdechová becomes a teacher once again.

Magnus returns to Hotel Valhalla to rest and prepare, where he meets Alex Fierro, Sam's newest einherji recruit and a genderfluid child of Loki. While in Valhalla, Magnus has dreamlike visions of Loki manipulating his uncle Randolph. Loki also tells Magnus about a wedding between Samirah and the giant Thrym in five days, and that Magnus will need to bring the bride-price. Magnus, Sam, and their friends Blitzen and Hearthstone travel to the Provincetown barrow but discover the Skofnung Sword instead of Thor's hammer. Loki appears and tells the quartet the sword and matching whetstone will be Sam's bride-price. They are reluctant to help Loki, who causes Randolph Chase to wound Blitzen with the sword.

There, Magnus learns the stone is in the possession of Hearth's father, Alderman. Alderman insists Hearth repay a wergild he owes because (in Alderman's view) of not defending his younger brother Andiron of a Brunnmigi, who killed the young boy, before he may take the stone.

At a carnival, a ringmaster named Hedig (Carlo Rota) is presenting to the public four Wesen that act as freaks, taking the excuse of magic. One of the Wesen, Max (Sam Witwer), who is also a Blutbad, leaves the carnival when two girls show up as they want to meet him. They invite him for drinks and although he is hesitant, they take him. The girls take him to their house and after discussion, he woges into a Blutbad and attacks them. While attending a dinner with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) with Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), Nick (David Giuntoli) is asked by Monroe to be his best man in their wedding while Juliette is asked to be Rosalee's maid of honor and they both agree. However, later that night, Nick tells Juliette that he is concerned about attending the wedding as many Wesen will be attending and they will recognize him as a Grimm. Wu (Reggie Lee) is finally in service after leaving the psychiatric hospital and Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the murder of the two girls, finding their tickets to the carnival. They go to the carnival and Nick and Hank discover the Wesen performers, wondering if the Wesen Council could intervene. Back in Europe, Adalind (Claire Coffee) and Meisner (Damien Puckler) continue fleeing from the Verrat and find Sebastien (Christian Lagadec) in a car, badly hurt. A Verrat agent arrives but Adalind uses her abilities to make him kill himself. Sebastian is given a gun and Adalind and Meisner flee from the scene in a car. Viktor (Alexis Denisof) and the Verrat arrive and Sebastien manages to kill most of them but Viktor. He refuses to say where they went and Viktor shoots him, killing him. While Nick and Hank talk with Hedig, Max loses control of himself and attacks one of the performers, Genvieve (Chryssie Whitehead). Nick and Hank talk with Monroe and Rosalee. They explain that the Council doesn't intervene because the public believes the performers are using magic and illusion although some are against it for exploitation. However, this could also cause the "Umkippen", an act in which a Wesen has forced himself to woge many times that it can lose control. Monroe and Rosalee decide to go to the carnival for an intervention, which they believe could help in the Wesen. However, Rosalee is selected as the replacement for Genvieve for her Wesen part. Meisner tells Adalind that he had a Resistance agent take her back to Portland but he will remain in Vienna. While preparing herself, Rosalee discovers that Max is the most affected with the Umkippen, deducing he is the killer. Before the show, Max confronts Hedig, who woges into a Löwen and reveals himself to be the killer of the people who saw him woged. Having discovered new evidence, Nick and Hank interrupt the show to arrest Hedig. Max breaks out of his cage and begins an attack while Hedig escapes to a mirror maze to find the Wesen. The performers are tired of his treatment and a Dämonfeuer kills him. The episode ends as Monroe and Rosalee are preparing for bed when Rosalee appears wearing her costume, causing Monroe to howl. ===== The film is a two-story anthology sandwiched by a framing story that attempts to place the events of the two shorter stories as having all happened in the same house.

The city's authoritarian mayor, Kenji Kobayashi, ratifies an official decree banishing all dogs to Trash Island, which is immediately approved despite the insistence of Professor Watanabe, the mayor's political opponent, who states he is close to creating a cure. The first deported canine is a white and black-spotted dog named Spots Kobayashi, who served as the bodyguard dog of 12-year-old orphan Atari Kobayashi, the mayor's distant nephew and ward. Six months later, Atari hijacks a plane and flies it to Trash Island (now nicknamed "Isle of Dogs") to search for Spots. After crash-landing, Atari is rescued by a dog pack led by an all-black canine named Chief, a lifelong stray. With their help, Atari first finds a locked cage that presumably contains Spots' skeleton, but learns that it is not him. They then fend off a rescue team sent by Kobayashi to retrieve Atari. Atari decides to continue his search for Spots, and the pack decides to help him. Chief initially declines, but is then convinced by Nutmeg, a female ex-show dog, to help the boy out of obligation. The pack seeks advice from sage-like dogs Jupiter and Oracle, who surmise that Spots might be held captive by an isolated tribe of dogs rumored to be cannibals. Meanwhile, Watanabe finally develops a successful serum and shows the results to Kobayashi, who only dismisses him. The professor objects, only to be put under house arrest and killed by a piece of poisoned sushi by order of the mayor's hatchet man, Major Domo. Tracy Walker, an American exchange student and member of a pro-dog activist group, suspects a conspiracy and begins to investigate. Kobayashi and his political party are revealed to be actually responsible for the dog flu outbreak, seeking to eliminate the dogs as Kobayashi's cat-loving ancestors tried to do 1,000 years ago, who were foiled by a samurai boy resembling Atari. During their journey, Chief and Atari are separated from the others. Atari gives Chief a bath, revealing his white and black-spotted coat and thus his striking resemblance to Spots. The two bond and rejoin the rest of the pack, and are saved by Spots and the dog tribe from another rescue team. Spots confirms that he is Chief's older brother and that he was rescued by the tribe, who were test subjects from a secret lab that was abandoned after a tsunami. Spots became their leader and mated with a female tribe member named Peppermint, who is pregnant with their first litter. Because of these circumstances, Spots requests for Atari to transfer his protection duties to Chief; both Atari and Chief accept. An owl later brings word that Kobayashi has rounded up all the exiled dogs and plans to exterminate them with poison gas. Tracy confronts Watanabe's closest colleague Yoko Ono, who confirms Tracy's conspiracy theories and gives her the last vial of serum. At his re-election ceremony, Kobayashi prepares to give the extermination order when Tracy presents her evidence of his corruption. Atari and the dogs soon arrive, and confirm the serum works by testing it on Chief and curing him. Atari addresses the crowd and recites a haiku he wrote and dedicated to Kobayashi, rekindling the sympathy that once existed between dogs and humans. Touched by Atari's words, Kobayashi officially rescinds the dog ban. Enraged, Major Domo tries to kill Kobayashi and initiate the extermination, but is thwarted by Spots and the activists. Atari and Spots become gravely injured during the struggle and are taken to a hospital, where Kobayashi donates one of his kidneys to save his nephew. One month later, Atari becomes the new mayor of Megasaki, and has all dogs reintegrated into society and cured of the dog flu, while Kobayashi and his co-conspirators languish in jail. Tracy and Atari become a couple, while Chief and Nutmeg become their bodyguard dogs and begin a relationship.

And his doctor explains to him that he is in very bad shape—he has severe cardiomyopathy, which will inevitably lead to heart failure at some point in the near future. Mr. Joe discovers, mostly from hearsay, that the Mafia has changed a lot (it sounds to him as if it's deteriorated) since he went into jail, and so has the world in general, even in his old neighborhood. He is struck in particular how the young people show no respect any more. However, Mr. Joe has a much younger next-door neighbor, Bobby DiBianco (Michael Rapaport), who is a hard-working family man who owns a deli. Bobby is kind enough to try to take care of what he sees as a nice elderly man; Bobby was too young in the 1980s to understand the crimes Mr. Joe was guilty of. On the home front, Mr. Joe's 42-year-old daughter, Rita, explains to him that she is a lesbian—something that at first he finds completely repugnant. A thuggish younger Italian man (Lev Gorn) starts a confrontation in Bobby DiBianco's deli. During the scuffle, the thug punches Rita Scholeri in the face, sending her flying. And, the shocking confrontation causes an older neighbor, who is sitting in the deli, to die from a heart attack. At the funeral Mr. Joe speaks in Italian to an active mobster. It is not clear what is being planned, but they agree to something. Mr. Joe has dinner with Rita and her girlfriend. They all get on really well, and he surprises them by asking when they will present him with a grandchild. It turns out that Mr. Joe has set something up so that he himself can attack the young thug. He kills him with a claw hammer, and immediately suffers heart failure, dying on the sidewalk. Years pass, and we see Rita and her girlfriend at home with a baby, listening to a recording that Mr. Joe made back when he was still in prison. ===== Opening quote: "In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order."

Florence Green, a widow, has decided to open a bookshop in the small coastal town of Hardborough, Suffolk (a thinly-disguised version of Southwold), acquiring as her premises the Old House, a damp and abandoned property that has been standing empty for many years. After refurbishing it and moving in, she learns that Violet Gamart, an influential and ambitious local resident, had privately earmarked the Old House for her own pet project, a local arts centrea project that she has no intention of dropping even though the property is no longer empty. Aided by several of the townspeople Mrs Gamart attempts to get Florence evicted, and the shop closed.

Their best customer is the wealthy bookish recluse Edmund Brundish, who begins to have feelings for Florence as she introduces him to new authors, especially Ray Bradbury. Learning of the threats to Florence's business, he emerges from his seclusion, visits Mrs Gamart, and adamantly tells her to desist.

Nick's house is vacated by the police and, that night, Juliette is visited by Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner). Juliette gets mad at seeing that she made them miss their honeymoon. In the station, Nick and Hank discuss Adalind's arrival in Vienna, deducing that she may have made a deal involving Nick so she could get her baby back. Trubel is finally released after her statement confirms the facts of the crime. Hank then visits Renard, who just finished having surgery but there's too much blood loss and that he may still be in danger. He then talks to Wu, who brings up Nick's book and the memories of the Aswang. Just then, the nurse tells them that they should call Renard's next of kin in case anything goes wrong.

A woman (Louise Lombard) is seen watching while the doctors are unable to revive him and declare 1:34 P.M. as the time of death. ===== Opening quote: "A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, In nothing else he is poor." Renard (Sasha Roiz) is pronounced dead when a woman (Louise Lombard) enters the room and uses her powers to freeze time. She takes out a red & black snake with two heads, one at each end, and makes each snake bite their respective hearts, which makes Renard's skin get back to normal while the woman's skin turns pale. After finishing their part, the snakes disintegrate to ash while the woman collapses, as time goes back to normal. When the doctor checks on her, Renard suddenly, once again alive, wakes up. In Vienna, Prince Viktor (Alexis Denisof) is told by Rispoli (Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) that Steward's accounts have been hidden to avoid their involvement with him and he is also informed that Adalind (Claire Coffee) has arrived. She is demanding to get inside the castle to get her daughter back (thinking Viktor has her). He brings her inside and tells her about Renard's shooting before throwing her in a cell. He reveals he doesn't have her daughter, that the resistance she betrayed him for and helped her escape, took her; also that she can "huff & puff" all she likes but the cell was designed to contain Hexenbiests, she won't be escaping it. He is planning on leaving her there until she reveals the people who helped her escape. Back in Portland, Trubel(Jacqueline Toboni) is following Anderson (Brian Letscher) to the hotel as he is checking in. Inside, he disguises himself to resemble the man whose memories he previously stole, by dyeing his hair. She contacts Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) to tell them what she knows before returning to watch him. In the spice shop, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) are investigating a possible Verfluchte Zwillingsschwester, a spell used by Hexenbiests to remove the powers of a Grimm. They deduce that Renard may know how it works since he had the antidote. A man named Ken Vickers (Andrew Stearns) calls Slocombe to meet up with him, not knowing he's dead. Lawrence calls Kent back to meet with him to discuss Slocombe's research and makes a change of his physical appearance before leaving the hotel. Truble, outside the door, listens to the conversation then follows him to his next victim. Renard is visited by the mysterious woman, who is revealed to be his mother, Elizabeth Lascelles. He informs her about Adalind's baby and that Steward is responsible for his injury. She's rather delighted to be a grandmother. Nick and Hank contact Lawrence's supervisor and discover that he suffered an accident a few weeks back and is suffering dementia, the same symptom the victims are experiencing. Nick is then questioned by Chavez (Elizabeth Rodriguez) about his recent activities and suspecting he's a Grimm, provokes him by wogeing, which Nick is unable to see. After he leaves, she makes a call to tell that he is not the Grimm but she is now certain who is. Trubel follows Lawrence to Vickers' house, whom he knocks out unconscious. He then notices Trubel outside the house and knocks her out too. In her cell, Adalind is awoken by a bunch of large rats, then hears a sinister giggle then voice coming from a hole in the wall, who says when she asks who it is : "My name is for me to know and you to find out", before closing the hole back up. Nick and Hank burst into Lawrence's hotel room to find the next address and find Vickers' address. Lawrence wakes Trubel up and after inspecting Vickers, uses his tentacles to retrieve information from her. However, he sees that she is a Grimm and suffers a breakdown as he absorbed her memories of abuse, fights and killings. Nick and Hank arrive just in the 'nick' of time and arrest Lawrence. Despite their contact with him, Trubel and Vickers are thankfully still safe and sound. In the station, they find that his real name is Timothy Perkal, a Canadian spy who is wanted in various countries. In his cell, the spy is still suffering agonising nightmares. Nick and Hank then visit Renard in the hospital and also meet his mother Elizabeth. The next morning, Trubel (who is in an excited mood) leaves the house on Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) bike just as Wu (Reggie Lee) visits Nick. He is still confused that Trubel is a criminology student and is also suspect of homicide and wants Nick to explain all the discrepancies to him. Suddenly, Nick experiences a severe headache while Adalind receives the same headache in her cell. They are seeing each other's sight and after a moment, they go back to normal. Both can't explain what is going on. Trubel is seen riding on the bike when a following van pulls over and takes her inside. Agent Chavez is revealed to be in the passenger seat and tells the driver to go. ===== Director Arkady Gromov decides to make a film about the life of scientists, presenting them as grim hermits detached from life, completely immersed in research.

There, he meets Marcus Stamm, a Swiss school teacher, and his friend, Kevin Gale, an American hiker and avid photographer. The three are staying in La Paz, at an Israeli community hostel. Yossi is out in the market one day where a stranger asks if he is an American; Yossi replies,”no”. During conversation the Austrian stranger, Karl Ruprechter, claims the existence of an Indigenous tribe in the jungle that they should go see. Karl says he knows the jungle, and he is friends with the tribe. Yossi, excited about the prospect of exploring the uncharted jungle and meeting undiscovered peoples like the Toromonas, chooses to believe him. He heads back to the apartment to convince Marcus and Kevin to come along. Skeptical of the stranger and his story, they refuse. Yossi continues to press them until they ultimately acquiesce. The next day, the trio meets Karl in a shop while he is gathering supplies for the hike. All three men are surprised when Karl leaves with the supplies and tells them they will pay for everything. Yossi, Marcus, Kevin, and Karl hike through the jungle for several days. They make it to a village where it is apparent Karl knows the villagers. They spend the day in the village and stay overnight, then head back into the jungle the next morning. Marcus starts having trouble walking, and it is discovered his feet are full of bloody sores. By now, Kevin and Yossi are tired of Marcus' complaining. Yossi, Kevin, and Karl discuss how they all should proceed. Karl wants to leave the three while he goes and gets help, but Kevin and Yossi disagree with that plan. At this point Marcus walks up, and Kevin proposes building a raft to navigate downriver, so all of them can stay together. They build a raft and set off down the river. They hit some rapids, barely making it through. Karl gets upset at Kevin for taking control on the raft, floats the raft to shore, and says he is going hunting. Kevin had noticed Karl's fear of water and deduces that Karl cannot swim. Yossi then goes to find Karl, so he will not abandon them. Marcus and Karl decide to abandon the journey and make the three-day hike back to La Paz. Meanwhile, Yossi and Kevin continue their journey downriver until their makeshift raft is destroyed in the rapids. Yossi is washed away by the river, leaving Kevin behind. Without a knife, tools, or any kind of survival training, Yossi must improvise shelter and forage to survive. He begins to give up hope after losing all sense of direction, wondering if he will ever survive the jungle. Meanwhile, Kevin is rescued by people from the local town who take him to Rurrenabaque, 120 miles from Yossi's location, Curiplaya. At Rurrenabaque, Kevin calls for the help of the local authorities to find Yossi. They fail to find Yossi via a plane flyover, but Kevin believes that Yossi is alive. Kevin ropes in the help of the local boat pilot to search for Yossi, finally discovers his weakened friend, and takes him to Rurrenabaque. The epilogue says that Karl and Marcus were never seen again and that Karl was wanted by the authorities. ===== In a small coastal town a fisherman's daughter falls in love with orphaned boy who comes to live with them. ===== The film begins with a long subtitled introduction, stating 90,000 women in the US go missing annually and suggesting many are forced by circumstances to join the “Sisterhood of Sorrow”. Marjorie Benton, who is “just a kid,” dreams of an office job, but works at the Pacific Laundry and is the only breadwinner for a family of coarsely-spoken strikers and loafers.

After seeing what Adalind (Claire Coffee) was seeing, the dungeon, and not knowing the cause, Nick (David Giuntoli) is taken to the hospital for a checkup. In a warehouse, Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) is confronted by Chavez (Elizabeth Rodriguez), who finally confirms that she is a Grimm. Chavez enquires if Nick is aware of what she is, then explains that her gifts are very valuable and should not be wasted. That they themselves are collaborating with a group to stop any Wesen threat just like her and attempt to recruit her services, offering her a home of people with the same goal. They ask her to think about it, to not disclose their meeting, then let her go just to prove their loyalty. Nick's girlfriend Juliette drags him to get checked up at the doctors, to make sure there's no lasting damage from Adalind's potion. The ophthalmologist discovers Nick was born with an extra retinal cone, which allows him special vision. (It seems now that his 'Grimm-ness' has been removed, the area that allowed him his 'Wesen-sight' is swollen & suffering the damage.) In a boxing match, Stan Kingston (Ron Canada) pays three men to beat up a boxer, Clay Pittman (Arlen Escarpeta), when he woges into a bull- like Wesen and beats them right back. One of the guys that got a broken jaw at the batting-assault, threatens to report them if he's not given $25,000 in compensation. When he goes to pick up the money, he's suddenly dragged out the car window and violently attacked. Abe Tucker (James Martin Kelly) then has Clay go to the fight and in an aggressive manner, and superior Wesen power, knocks out his opponent. In the spice shop, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are still discussing a solution to Nick's powers when Bud (Danny Bruno) appears and asks about Trubel, as the Wesen community is now confused and all in a panic after the events at the wedding. They tell him to not tell anyone, but that Nick has lost his Grimm-powers. At a new police murder scene, the victim dragged out of a lake is one Bobby (aka Robert 'Bang-bang' Moore), a petty criminal - the boxing-mad previous blackmailer. Officer Wu again urgently attempts to talk to Nick, which he again evades until later. At the hospital Elizabeth questions her son (Renard) the whereabouts of her granddaughter which he kinda evades. When Rosalee & Monroe visit Renard, they discuss the 'Nick-no-longer-Grimm' problem and Elizabeth offers to help - “To beat a Hexenbiest like Adalind, you need a Hexenbiest like me.” Them three manage to hunt down Adalind's secret storage space and attempt to replicate her potion to reverse Nick's condition. Trubel joins up with the boxing gym, undercover, and meets up with Clay. The suspicious coach Kingston, sets Trubel up with a nearby female boxer, easily double her size, to check what she's capable of. After initially getting the better of Trubel, once she sees her opponent woge, fighting dirty Trubel ultimately manages to knock her out. Later, whilst eavesdropping, Trubel realises both trainer and coach are indeed two different bull-like Wesen. Clay tells Abe he wants out of boxing, but Kingston threatens to tell the police that Clay killed Moore (which Clay wrongly suspected he had) if he doesn't continue fighting for him. In Adalind's cell, the giggling creepy guy next door discloses via a riddle a stone Adalind is to move if she wishes to join him in an escape. He seems to know about her missing baby and helps her escape via various secret escape tunnels. Meanwhile, Renard's mother finds the spell Adalind used, and they head to the spice shop to make a reversing potion. Nick and crew find the type of Wesen Kingston is in the book, and the description of the wounds this Wesen inflicts match the wounds on Moore. When they find out they go off to confront Kingston (Stan) they first discover they have a new victim - it's Abe, who's been thrown off a roof but sporting the same puncture wounds earlier found on Moore. In his pocket Nick finds a suspicious 'suicide note' confessing to the murders. When Nick, Stan & Trubel confront Kingston, they tell him they know he's a Wesen and in fact the actual killer. He looks into Nicks eyes and denies knowing what they're talking about, but then is attacked by Trubel and sees she's the Grimm. All three have a good knock-about but ultimately Trubel is able to get the better of Kingston by ripping off one of his horns and breaking his neck. Inside the gym, when Clay confronts his mother and admits that he no longer wishes to keep fighting matches, in a shocking twist of events, his mother admits she's behind hiring his coach & trainer; then suddenly woges, smashes a nearby wooden chair and viciously beats him with broken off chair leg, insisting that he needs to continue doing what he was born to do! A surprised, totally crestfallen yet angry Clay ultimately stands up to her when Trubel comes to his rescue and tells him he doesn't need to do what she's forcing him to do as now both Abe & Kingston are dead. When the mother insists Clay kill the Grimm, knowing Trubel was kind to him before, he instead turns on his mother; then in anger instead bashes his own fighting arm/wrist so he's no longer able to box, finally telling his mother : "I'm done!" (Seeing the damage she's wreaked, the whimpering mother seems remorseful, but it's left unsure if she's truly sad for her son or what she's done, or for his fighting ability/career now wreaked and the money he brought in which supported her.) ===== Jack Cavanaugh (Le Plat) learns that the KGB use his wife (Norton) to get access to a top secret computer system. He cannot see what to do except to take on the foreign agents himself. ===== Opening quote: "Oh, remember that you fashioned me out of clay! Will you then bring me down to dust?" Two masked men throw a brick through the spice shop window and flee. Elizabeth (Louise Lombard) picks it up and discovers a Wolfsangel, a trap that symbolizes disregard to inter-marriage between mixed Wesen, in this case Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner). They decide to drop the issue as it can be solved easily. In their house, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) discover that Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) is gone and took all her stuff. Meanwhile, Keith Harrow (Kevin T. Williams) attacks his wife Sara Fisher (Brigid Brannagh) and child David (Jakob Salvati) in their house, all while woging into a Siegbarste and they flee from him. Sara's brother, Ben (David Julian Hirsh), discovers her beating and goes to a synagogue and begins to read an ancient scroll with clay. Nick finds Trubel in the trailer and she tells him about Chavez and the kidnapping and they decide to see if Chavez ever contacts her again. Later that day, Keith is killed by an enormous creature and his body is discovered to be covered in clay. Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the murder and the scene is interrupted by Keith's brother Nate (Don Alder), who claims Sara killed Keith. Nick and Hank go with Sara to the hospital to interrogate her while Trubel talks with David. They try to investigate in the trailer but the creature cannot be identified. They are later called by Ben, who confesses to killing Keith and to meet him in the synagogue. Nick and Hank talk with Ben, who shows them that he freed a Golem using the scroll and the remains left by a rabbi and he only did so because he was destroying the family. Due to the exaggeration of the evidence, they don't arrest him but have the remains tested to know their connection to Keith's clay. Renard (Sasha Roiz) returns to the station since his shooting and Nick and Hank discover that the remains match the clay found. Ben takes Sara and David to their house, where he is attacked by Nate, who wants to know who killed Keith. Sara calls the police and Nate leaves the house. In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) and Hofmann (David Ury) continue running upstairs when faces appear in the wall, all repeating that they know where her baby is, causing her to cry but this also prompts the faces to flood the stairs. Monroe also discovers Adalind in the spice shop but Rosalee assures him that it's Elizabeth, who managed to shift her form with the new potion. Nate is killed by the Golem in the street who escapes when he sees Nick, Hank and Ben approaching. Nick also discovers that Ben asked for the Golem to protect David and now will kill anyone who threatens him. Nick then has Ben go to find a scroll to stop it and they discover that they need to put a shem into the Golem's mouth to stop him. They arrive at Sara's house, where Trubel is. Nick pretends to forcibly arrest David which causes the Golem to arrive but Ben is unable to put the shem in his mouth. After the Golem begins to engulf Trubel, David picks up a toy action figure which he dropped, and hits the Golem multiple times with it, causing him to disappear. That night, Nick, Juliette and Trubel are visited by Monroe, Rosalee and Elizabeth, who have managed to find an antidote. However, Elizabeth states that there's a missing ingredient and Juliette is it. ===== ===== Opening quote: "A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth." Elizabeth (Louise Lombard) explains that Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) has to recreate what Adalind (Claire Coffee) did to Nick (David Giuntoli) in order to get back his powers: make love while she drinks the potion but the potion will make her look like Adalind. Nick and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) are opposed to the potion but Juliette replies that this can be the only way to retrieve his powers. A wife named Ava Diaz (Jacqueline Obradors) leaves her house and finds a wolf-like Wesen, who despite his form, tells her he's her friend and gives her a drink. She shatters the glass, waking her husband Gabriel (Julian Acosta) and flees the house in her car. She gets distracted when the Wesen is revealed to be in the car and hits a person and crashes the car. The next day, Nick and Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) are visited by Bud (Danny Bruno), who offers condolences for Nick's powers. When Nick leaves, Bud explains to Trubel that he told someone that Nick lost his powers and now he contacted someone named Shaw, who plans to give Nick a lesson. Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the crash and Wu (Reggie Lee) continues to ask Nick about the recent events happening to him. They visit Ava but due to the hospital visits, they can only speak with Gabriel, who explains that she thought she saw a wolf and she has a mental illness from six months ago. After he guides them through the house, they deduce that she may have seen a Blutbad. After getting her drawing, they show it to Monroe and Rosalee (Bree Turner), who explain that it is a Luison, a cousin of the Blutbaden. Trubel and Bud locate Shaw's house and Trubel threatens him and attacks him with a machete, making him swear that he won't bother anyone again. In Philadelphia, Josh Porter (Lucas Near- Verbrugghe) is attacked in his home by two Hundjägers and escapes. He calls Nick for help and he replies by telling him to leave Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Adalind is separated from Hofmann and begins experiencing severe hallucinations with Diana just before she arrives back at her cell. Nick, Hank and Monroe decide to inspect Gabriel's house to see if he is a Luison while he is in the courtroom. However, a second Gabriel appears in the house, forcing Monroe to leave the house. Nick, Hank and Monroe discuss that Gabriel may have a twin and they decide to lure him out. Monroe attacks Gabriel's twin before two more twins appear. Nick and Hank hold them at gunpoint while Monroe states that the Wesen Council could get angry at this. They arrest the quadruplets soon after.

Gabe and Karen, expecting the other couple for a dinner party, receive only Beth, who initially states Tom is away for business. As the dinner winds down, Beth tearfully admits Tom is leaving her for a flight attendant (actually a travel agent) as he is not happy in their marriage. Beth paints Tom as solely wanting sex from her, pointing to an incident at a movie theatre where he attempted to initiate intercourse. During this, Gabe and Karen demonstrate different approaches to the news, with Karen prompting questions out of Beth while Gabe simply listened. After Beth leaves, Gabe and Karen discuss the news, with Karen immediately taking it at face value and disparaging Tom while Gabe defends him. Karen declares he is no longer her friend. Gabe takes offence to learning that should he cheat on Karen she would immediately write him off and throw him out. Tom arrives home after his flight is cancelled. After a terse discussion when he inquires about the get together, Tom deduces Beth told them they were divorcing after they'd decided they would tell them together. He deems this unfair as they are now biased against him. Their argument escalates as they begin attacking one another and Tom pins her to the bed. However, they begin to make passionate love to one another. Tom leaves shortly after and travels to Gabe and Karen's, hoping to explain his side of things. Karen refuses, stating it's clear cut he is in the wrong. Gabe fixes Tom a plate of the earlier meal, and asks Tom to explain things. He explains how he feels unloved now with Beth, how she rejects any form of intimacy. This led Tom to seek this out in the travel agent. Gabe asks them if he and Beth planned to attend therapy together, not wanting them to end their marriage. Tom says no, not wanting Gabe's opinion, just his understanding. Tom then departs. A flashback to 1988 Martha’s Vineyard shows the day when Gabe and Karen first introduced Tom to Beth at their summer home. Tom is initially unreceptive, having been reminded of her drunken dancing at Gabe and Karen's wedding, as well as their first discussion being fairly awkward and snide toward one another, but they gradually warm to one another. In the present, Tom packs up his belongings and leaves his and Beth's home.Marks, Peter."Theater Review; A Menu Featuring Divorce And Fear," The New York Times, November 5, 1999 Some months pass by, with Karen and Beth discussing the fallout of the divorce amongst themselves, and Gabe and Tom amongst themselves. Tom has maintained a relationship with the travel agent, named Nancy, and Beth is now seeing someone as well, named David. Karen is shocked at this, insisting Beth should've spent some time alone after divorcing Tom. Beth disputes this, and then states she intends to marry David. She then accuses Karen of not wanting her to be truly happy so she can be superior to her. Karen replies she had hoped to forge a new family amongst her friends after escaping from her own troubled family, with Beth telling her it’s just not that simple, no one is perfect. During Tom's discussion with Gabe, he talks about how happy he is with Nancy. Gabe sarcastically reminds Tom that he's there to listen as Tom doesn't want his opinion. Tom asserts that he was unhappy during the duration of his marriage and that most of the time he was putting on a show of happiness so as to not cause a problem. Gabe takes this personally, as their lives have always been a shared one, and feels Tom's unhappiness applies to him and Karen. He then explains to Tom how he had hoped that they would share the experience of growing old together in their marriages and that leaving Beth spoiled that. As they are parting ways, Tom reveals to Gabe that Beth and David actually had an affair much earlier in their marriage. Gabe shares this with Karen when they return to Martha's Vineyard, changing her perspective of the divorce and feeling hurt Beth never shared this with her. Later that night, they both confess they've grown to no longer feel close to their friends. Karen shares a dream she had of her and Gabe making love next to another couple, who are also them. She is angered when Gabe initially doesn't say anything but he finally says it is symbolic of the natural evolution of a relationship. She frets about how they'll not follow the same path as Tom and Beth. Gabe reassures her by “scaring” her (a tease he does to show her his affection) and kisses her. She kisses him back. ===== Set in the vibrant atmosphere of Miami’s underground teenage club world, we follow the powerful journey of Amiya Castle, who feels discarded by her mother after being left to spend the summer with relatives.

You cut off the heads of men and women and these you wear as a garland around your neck." Hank (Russell Hornsby) uses a hose to extinguish the flaming Wolfsangel. Inside the house, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) is furious at the Wolfsangel but decides not to report it since they won't stop. Rosalee (Bree Turner) explains that it must be the Secundum Naturae Ordinem Wesen, an ancient organization composed of Wesen that want the Wesen species to be pure and they consider marriage between mixed Wesen a crime against nature. Seeing all this, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) states that she will take the potion in order to restore Nick's (David Giuntoli) powers. A couple, Dix (Ricki Bhullar) and Suleka Turner (Khushi Dayal), are driving on the highway when they hit a spike strip and they crash in the woods.

Trubel is leaving the house when she sees a person named Mann (Daniel Brockley), whom she accuses of working with Chavez and leaves. When she returns, she finds Josh (Lucas Near-Verbrugghe) in the house, who states he had nowhere to go. Nick and Hank meet with Wu (Reggie Lee) and Deputy Sheriff Janelle Farris (Toni Trucks) in the crash. Nick finds a piece of wood with nails and also discovers an old case from six years ago. They return to the crash and use a metal detector to find a reptilian figure just like the previous case. Nick and Hank go to the trailer and see they're facing a Phansigar, a Wesen that use their tongue to choke victims and sacrifice a couple to Kali every three years. With the materials used in the figure, they deduce that it must take place in a salvage yard. There's only one salvage yard near the highway which was bought by a man named J.P. (Erick Avari) and his sons Sharat (Amitesh Prasad) and Adesh (Tarun Shetty). Farris confronts J.P. in the salvage yard but Adesh uses his powers to knock her out, upsetting J.P. but his sons convince him that it's good enough for the sacrifice.

Two regions, one with its capital in Seattle, Washington and the other with its capital in Athens, Georgia, claim to be continuing the government of the U.S., while semi-independent regions around New York (increasingly fascist), in California (feudal), in Colorado (ostensibly neutral and dedicated to research and communications) and in Texas have some desire to participate in a restored U.S. Much of the Northeast is inhabited by "tribals" who have been mysteriously brainwashed into "Daybreak", but in one of their strongholds, Lord Robert is breaking away from the movement. Despite tensions between the secularist believers in human rights in the Northwest and the fundamentalist Christian theocrats in the South, most of the regions attempt coordinate in a military campaign against the tribals and build up to a Presidential election to reunify the country. However, it turns out that the leaders of those regions were tricked into the campaign by Daybreak because it unifies it with Lord Robert. The U.S. forces are defeated disastrously. One of the leaders in Colorado makes herself president for the sole purpose of dissolving the United States and resigning. She and other survivors of the reunification attempt find refuge in California and the West Indies, which may become centers of the drive to rebuild civilization. ===== Opening quote: "I have but to swallow this, and be for the rest of my days persecuted by a legion of goblins, all of my own creation. Humbug, I'll tell you; humbug!" During a Christmas party in a home, the doorbell rings, but there is no one there, only an enormous wrapped box at the door. Two guests bring in the parcel and put it down by their hosts' Christmas tree. Later that night, a goblin-like Wesen gets out of the box. He unlocks the front door and lets two more goblin-like Wesen in and they begin to wreak havoc in the house, waking the couple. The husband goes down stairs to see what is happening and the three goblin like Wesen severely attack him before escaping.

They watch over Shaw (Donald MacEllis), who is telling everyone of Trubel's abilities. She sneaks around the outside of the house, peering in a window, and is found by a Schakal, who was just arriving. Josh knocks out the Schakal before he can attack Trubel. Trubel discovers the mask that belongs to the Secundum Naturae Ordinem Wesen and they go. Trubel reports this to Nick, who tells her to go with Bud (Danny Bruno) to get names. Based on the location of three crimes related to the home invasion, Nick and Hank discover that a church is in the center of the invasions. Renard (Sasha Roiz) talks with Nick, discussing Elizabeth's departure in search of Kelly and Adalind's daughter, left and Wu's growing suspicion of the Wesen issues. Nick and Hank are then called to a house where the goblins are causing chaos. Two of them flee while another attacks Nick until Hank knocks him out. Unsure if it's Wesen, they decide to take it to Monroe and Rosalee to learn more about it. They go to the trailer and find that they're dealing with Kallikantzaroi, a condition that affects Indole Gentile children and makes them commit acts without them knowing. They also find that if they eat fruitcake, they would be cured of the condition.

Then, the Kallikantzaroi escapes from his confinement and two others arrive at the house. They cause chaos across the house until Monroe arrives and scares them with his Blutbad roar. While cleaning the room, Rosalee finds a medical bracelet for asthma. Nick and Hank identify him as John Katsaros (Greg Goran) and question his parents, who explain that he performs in a youth choir in the church. Nick and Hank manage to guide the boys to a truck that is full of fruitcakes just outside the church, curing them.

After she leaves, Rosalee is called by a voice who tells her, "You made a mistake". She then goes to the back of the house and finds the corpse of a fox, being warned that her blood will be next. Wu talks with Renard (Sasha Roiz) about Nick and Hank, but he's brushed off. Renard is then called by Hans Tavitian (Bernhard Forcher), who asks for a meeting as he is in Portland. He explains that there's a mole in the Resistance and asks Tavitian to help him find the mole and get back Diana. The next day, Diego loses control of the disease and attacks Gabe in his office, escaping while still woged. He runs into Wu and Franco (Robert Blanche) and when Wu catches him, he returns to his human form, confusing him and in an act of confusion, he disappears. After receiving the information from Gabe, Nick and Hank visit Diego's wife, Bélem (Alyssa Diaz), who is a Coyotl and tell her to call them once Diego gets home. When they leave the house, they're confronted by Wu, who demands an explanation or he will quit as he does not seem to be stable. Nick and Hank decide that it's time to tell him the truth. Diego arrives at the house and attacks Bélem. They manage to fight off Diego and handcuff but Wu is so shocked at what he sees that he drives off. Nick and Hank bring Diego and Bélem to the spice shop where Rosalee only manages to do a syringe, which Diego injects in Bélem, saving her. Diego states to Nick that he has to kill him and when he refuses, he woges, forcing Hank to kill him. Wu makes a chaos in a bar and is arrested. Nick and Hank have an officer watch out Monroe and Rosalee until they depart. Seeing that the officer is staying all night, Rosalee makes him a snack and Monroe goes out to give it to him. He turns it over and finds him wearing a mask and is then captured by another Wesenrein member. In Nick's house, Juliette suffers a headache and somehow, woges into a Hexenbiest, screaming in shock. ===== Opening quote: "He had them brought before the court, and a judgment was handed down." Staring at her woged reflection in a mirror, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) returns to her human form and decides not to tell Nick (David Giuntoli) about it. Meanwhile, Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) pick up Wu (Reggie Lee) from the jail cell, then take him to Nick's trailer to present him to the Wesen world.

Meanwhile, Monroe is taken to an abandoned warehouse where the members of the Wesenrein chain him while under the watch of Jonah Riken (Nick Krause) and also finds a fellow prisoner named Terry (Nick Hope), who has also been imprisoned there for an unknown time. Nick and Hank meet with Renard (Sasha Roiz) to discuss the members of the Wesenrein that Trubel had investigated before and they set off to find Shaw (Donald MacEllis), one of their members. Renard has a Skalenzahne named Sam Damerov (Kenajuan Bentley) find the members of the Wesenrein while he persuades Wu not to tell anyone about the unfolding events. Wu is surprised Renard is aware of Wesen too. Nick and Hank arrive at Shaw's house and he tries to escape but ends up arrested as they find his Wesenrein mask in his pocket. Meanwhile, the Wesenrein take Terry out of the warehouse and Terry gives Monroe a ring, requesting it be given to his wife. In Vienna, Prince Viktor (Alexis Denisof) tells Adalind (Claire Coffee) that they will travel to Portland to retrieve her child. Nick and Hank interrogate Shaw in the room but as they have no luck, Nick asks to interrogate him alone in order to intimidate him. Now alone, Nick uses his Grimm persona to threaten Shaw and punches him multiple times until he is stopped by Renard. Renard decides to release him because of lack of evidence and have an officer placed outside his house; whilst also informing Wu about the type of Wesen in this case. Shaw returns home where someone calls to meet him at the back of his house. He arrives at a car where he meets the Wesenrein's Grand Master, Charlie Riken (Brandon Quinn), who kills him in order to avoid him from telling anyone about them. Back in Nick's house, Rosalee and Juliette get into an argument where Rosalee pressures her to call Nick and do things like a proper Grimm, causing Juliette to woge into a Hexenbiest and attack Rosalee, culminating with her ripping her throat out, killing her. However, this is all revealed to be just a nightmare, as Rosales awakens Juliette from a nap. Nick, Hank and Wu investigate Shaw's murder and inside the house they find his Wesenrein clothes and a photograph with him and policeman Acker, confirming that he's also a member of the Wesenrein.

He then stops as he comes upon Terry's mutilated corpse impaled on a stake set above a fire pit, where he's recaptured and sent back to the warehouse. Riken chastises his brother for his irresponsibility and states that Monroe's fate will be decided by the tribunal not him. He then accuses Monroe of having no respect for his heritage, so needs to answer for his sins. Nick and Hank discover that Acker has been calling Shaw and called multiple times to the prison to an inmate called Walker Williams. Using his Grimm persona, Nick has Williams confess that the Grand Master is Charlie Riken, who was once his cell mate, and Acker called him as Riken did not want his calls traced back to him or be pursued. While Nick, Hank and Wu investigate Riken's house (finding his cellphone), Monroe is brought back to the woods where the tribunal begins - there, Riken sits in head position as everyone surrounds another sharpened stake, chanting : "Wesenrein", on repeat... ===== A vampire, (Teresa Gimpera), entombed on a remote island is accidentally awakened and begins to terrorize the island's inhabitants. ===== Bay Khudi is a tale of Fiza who shifted to her aunt's house along with her mother after her father's death.

The two rush to the edge of the desert, where Ajar decides they should go into the Oasis. Despite Pitt's warnings, Ajar covers himself with moss, making him appear green. He then slips into the Oasis. Then he happens to find a green snake named Eva, who is covered with mud to look like a Dusty in order to run away from the Oasis, her home, but a place she hates. They are then ambushed by Secretarybirds, who chase them to the edge of a cliff. Eva and Ajar jump off the cliff, landing in a river.

Eva wins, while Pietra is put into the basket of snakes that are to be skinned. Gary, Ajar, and Pitt, still on their quest, fall into a cave, where they are greeted by Glow-Worms. The Glow-Worm King gives them directions to find Eva, but then try to lure them in as prey. The three are almost lured in, but they escape. Soon after, they climb into a jeep with some tourists, but are discovered and Pitt is separated from the others. They then find a fast-talking sandfish, who leaves them with the name, Souksoukville, then leaves. Ajar and Gary find an oasis, where they rest for the night and slowly become friends. Pitt stays at the tourists' camp, where he joins a group of scorpions. Ajar and Gary find a well at the oasis. They ride a bucket down to escape a sandstorm, and then arrive at another town. They follow Omar's ads to get to his store, where Ajar sees Eva and the other snakes trapped in a cage. Ajar releases a ceiling fan, which falls on top of the cage, freeing all the snakes. Omar sees this and runs to get his flute, but Ajar takes it. Omar pursues Ajar around the city, where the sandstorm rages. Ajar is chased at the top of a mosque, where Omar tries to grab the flute, but breaks it. He grabs Ajar so he doesn't fall off the building, but Ajar's skin comes off, and Omar disappears into the sandstorm. The storm calms, and Ajar falls onto a platform below. He is found by Eva and Gary and is thought to be dead, but he then awakens. Eva realizes that Ajar had crossed a desert for her, and the two kiss. Omar then appears, but then falls unconscious. Pitt reveals that he stung Omar, and he has brought over Emily, a scorpion from the group he had stayed with earlier. Ajar, Eva, Emily, Pitt, Gary, and Pietra drive away in a tourist car. As the van drives off, the fast-talking sandfish appears next to a camel, and tells this random camel (and also the viewers) that Ajar and Eva might go back and live happily ever after at the Oasis and teach the Dusties and Green Snakes to live together as equals, but he claims to have no idea on whether or not this happens. ===== Housewife Abby Collins is a former Marine who served in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. She is notified by her old team member Jeremy Davis that another team member, Samuel Pratt, has committed suicide. After the funeral, Abby receives a video of her veterinarian husband Nick bound and gagged and is told that she is being watched. Rather than succumbing to fear, she leaves her daughter with the neighbor across the street and puts her military skills to use. Worried that her phone may be tapped, she unplugs her landline phone and splices it into the line at the telephone pole in order to call her friend Lincoln at the NSA to trace the source IP of the video message to the Pratt residence in Alexandria, Virginia. She investigates Samuel's locked basement office and finds files relating to Operation "Mongoose" in which the team members were to escort an Afghan chemist named Omar Taraki to testify against an Al-Qaeda leader in 2002.

Suspiriorum |- | Epilogue: A Sliced-Up Pear |} In 1977, Susie Bannion arrives in Berlin during the height of the German Autumn to audition for the Markos Dance Academy. Her arrival coincides with the sudden disappearance of a student, Patricia Hingle, who disappeared after revealing to her psychotherapist, Dr. Josef Klemperer, that the school's matrons are a coven of witches who worship the Three Mothers—a trio of witches who once roamed Earth, known individually as Mother Tenebrarum, Mother Lachrymarum, and Mother Suspiriorum. Susie befriends a wealthy classmate, Sara Simms, while her dancing quickly begins to attract attention from the head artistic director and choreographer, Madame Blanc. During a rehearsal, Patricia's friend, Olga Ivanova, accuses the matrons of being responsible for Patricia's disappearance, as well as practicing witchcraft. She attempts to flee the school, only to become disoriented and trapped in a room; meanwhile, Susie performs a dance for Madame Blanc. However, her movements physically and violently inflict damage on Olga's body. The matrons find Olga's mangled body and drag her away with large hooks. Later, they informally vote for the coven's leader, and elect Mother Helena Markos, an aging witch who has long ruled the coven, over Blanc. They begin conspiring to use Susie as a host body for Markos. Meanwhile, Miss Griffith, a sheepish matron, commits suicide. Susie quickly climbs the ranks as Blanc's protégée, earning her the role of the protagonist in Volk, an upcoming, much-anticipated performance. Meanwhile, Klemperer becomes suspicious of the matrons and seeks Sara's cooperation to look at Patricia's journals. Initially skeptical, Sara investigates and discovers a concealed corridor leading to the , an inner sanctum where the coven holds their occult rituals. She takes one of the large hooks from the sanctum and brings it to Klemperer as they look into Patricia's disappearance. On the opening night of Volk, Sara returns to the sanctum to find Patricia, who is in a withered condition. She is discovered by the matrons before the performance, who manifest holes in the floor, causing Sara to break her leg. Sara emerges midway through the performance, dancing her part in a hypnotic trance; Klemperer watches as Susie and Sara's eyes seemingly change colors, with Sara's turning blue and Susie's turning brown. As the performance comes to a close, Sara collapses in pain. Later, Madame Blanc chastises Susie for interfering in the matrons' affairs. The following night, while dining with the matrons to celebrate the recital, the students are put into a trance, except Susie. Meanwhile, Klemperer disposes of the large hook and Patricia's belongings in a river. He returns to his dacha in East Germany, where he encounters Anke, his wife who went missing during the war. Anke reveals that she fled to Bristol after having escaped the Nazis. The couple walk together, eventually passing through the border back into West Berlin. When Anke disappears, Klemperer discovers he has been led to the academy for an impending witches' sabbath, and he is subsequently ambushed by the matrons. Susie is led to the , where she discovers the matrons, along with Blanc and Markos, an incapacitated Klemperer and the entranced dancers. Sara, Patricia and Olga are disemboweled to begin the sabbath, but Blanc attempts to intervene in the ritual. Enraged, Markos attacks Blanc, nearly decapitating her. Susie seemingly accepts her fate as Markos' new vessel, only to reveal herself as Mother Suspiriorum, there to cleanse the academy of Markos and her supporters. She summons an incarnation of Death, killing Markos and her most faithful followers. Olga, Patricia and Sara each die peacefully at Susie's hand as the remaining matrons and students continue to dance. Klemperer is released the next morning in a catatonic state while the academy continues to operate; Miss Vendegast discovers Blanc alive in the ceremonial hall, as Miss Boutaher announces Blanc's departure to the students. Susie, now as Mother Suspiriorum, visits Klemperer and reveals that Anke died at Theresienstadt after being captured by the Nazis. Upon touching him, Klemperer suffers from a violent seizure that erases his memories, after which Susie leaves immediately. In present-day, Klemperer and Anke's initials are seen carved onto the wall of their dacha, whose current occupants are oblivious to. In a post-credits scene, Susie is in the streets of Berlin at night. She stares at something dispassionately, before reaching out her hand; she smiles and walks away. ===== Fanny and Veronica are sisters living in a dingy area of the New Jersey shoreline whose lives are approaching dead ends. Fanny (Elizabeth McGovern), the "good" sister, is a divorced part-time waitress with artistic leanings who lives in a bungalow in one of those desolate seaside towns of packed-together houses that look like they could be washed away at any moment (Red Bank, New Jersey). One day her "bad" sister, Veronica (Patricia Wettig), from whom she has been estranged for five years, comes to visit. Veronica informs Fanny that she is about to go to jail for welfare fraud. An unmarried mother of two, she was caught collecting checks from two states at once and has to serve time on Rikers Island. Fanny and Veronica share a desperately buoyant night on the town, getting drunk in fishermen's bars and playing a dangerous game called Jersey Chicken, in which they grab the girders of a lifting drawbridge and jump into the inky water. Although they share an edgy affection, there has been bad blood between them ever since Fanny caught Veronica in bed with her husband. After Veronica goes to jail, Fanny, posing as a state investigator, rescues her sister's children from the trailer park in Netcong, New Jersey where Veronica left them with Michael (Michael O'Keefe), the latest in a string of lovers. While visiting Veronica in jail, Fanny also begins to realize that her sister is not just down and out but mentally ill and possibly suicidal. From here the story takes an inevitably grim turn in which Fanny is left to pick up the pieces. ===== The story starts with Naani (Rajesh Brahmavara) and his two daughters playfully pulling a boat from the shore. Devaragunda (Achyuth Kumar) and his sidekick arrive at the shore, enjoying the view and is immediately attracted to Naani's older, teenage daughter. He inappropriately approaches her, causing Naani to send them inside while he confronts Devru. Devru makes a deal with Naani that all of his debts will be paid off and he will have a prestigious position if Naani gives his daughter to Devru. Naani angrily objects, to which he is kicked down once before being sent home. The next day, Naani goes to Devru's residence to pay off his loans. As he is exiting, Naani suffers an impact to the head from Devru swinging a rod at him. Suzie (Shraddha Srinath) wakes up suddenly, as what she had just felt was a recurring bad dream. Daisy (Shweta Pandit) comforts her and tells her to get ready, as they work in a brothel and have to satisfy the desires of men coming in. Daisy's younger sister Rashmi comes out to dance with them, where a womanizer wishes for her before the brothel's owner Bobby (Bhavani Prakash) angrily denies him. Afterwards, Daisy scolds Rashmi for coming out when she shouldn't have. Later that night, a graffiti artist by the name of Rooney (Madukar Niyogi) barely escapes from the police and sneaks into the brothel, where Suzie falls in love with him. Devru is walking with his daughter Shwetha (Ananya Bhat) when they meet Shwetha's friend and senior, Asha (Shruthi Hariharan). After a brief introduction, Asha goes with her boyfriend Prakash (Prabhu Mundkur) to a coffee shop, where they discuss their future together. Later, Asha is studying at the library when she realizes that it is almost closing time. Before she leaves, she finds an abandoned purse next to her with a significant amount of money. As she is heading home, a man approaches her, asking her if she had seen a purse. She happily returns the purse to him and asks him to verify that the correct amount is there, to which the man exclaims that there is money missing. The two argue and go to the police station, where an FIR is submitted against Asha. Asha begs for the FIR to not be submitted on the promise that she will give the missing amount to the man in two days' time. When Asha has the money, she is told to meet the man at a hostel; the police conduct a raid on this hostel for prostitutes, and Asha is mistaken for one and is detained. Asha is bailed out only to be held at the same brothel where Daisy and Suzie are, on the orders of Devru, as she needs to stay there for a week before she can be trafficked. It is also revealed that after Devru hit Naani, he and his henchmen dragged him to the shore and beat him more, before Devru raped and killed Naani's eldest daughter. Naani weepingly approached his home and coped over his daughter while Devru's henchmen detained his other daughter, who is revealed to be Suzie, and Devru set fire to Naani's home. After Rashmi commits suicide by jumping off of a ledge, Asha convinces Suzie and Daisy that they need to get out of the brothel and exact revenge on those who have mistreated them. The brothel erupts into chaos, eventually leading to Roonie being badly wounded and Daisy fatally shooting Bobby.

In 1954, seven-year-old Cathleen Harris lives in rural Tennessee with her mother, Nora, a factory worker, who is non-religious but wants to show Cathleen a church and let her make her own decision. Cathleen's father, Chuck, comes home late, drunk, and argues with his wife. Chuck eventually leaves. Nora supports herself and picks up a series of men for one-night stands. At age 12, Cathleen seeks love of her own, and finds it in Catholicism when two nuns visit her home and offer her enrollment at a Catholic girls' school. The school offers her free tuition and a full scholarship to any college Cathleen chooses if her grades are excellent. At the school one day, a young nun befriends Cathleen and describes how she is married to Christ. At age 17 in the year 1964, after Cathleen comes home from school and runs into another one of her mother's pickups, Cathleen decides to leave home and give her life to God. With twenty other girls, Cathleen joins the Sisters of the Beloved Rose. She will be a postulant for six months in their convent, after which she will become a novice for a year and a half, and then make her final vows to become a nun. The Abbess, Reverend Mother Marie Saint-Clair, is tough, cold, traditional and largely responsible for training and disciplining the postulants. She leads the postulants through the weekly "chapter of faults," in which they must publicly confess to all their faults and face the accusation of the other postulants, for which Mother Superior assigns extreme, humiliating penances, including "The Discipline," a knotted whip that they use to flagellate themselves. Sister Mary Grace, a young, warm, kind, and progressive nun, is the Postulant Mistress, who tries to make life easier for them. Most of the day is heavily regimented, but sometimes the postulants fall into girlish activities and giggling. Cathleen tends to avoid interacting with the other girls and spends her free time alone and reading from the Bible. Mother Superior keeps getting envelopes from Archbishop McCarthy about Vatican II, which she ignores. Sister Mary Grace sees the documents, and says that change would be good. Mother Superior cuts her off with, "The Church is perfect exactly the way it is." Later, they argue, and Sister Mary Grace challenges Mother Superior's authority. Sister Mary Grace goes off to pray, and decides to leave the convent. After six months, Cathleen takes her Simple Vows and becomes a novice. As Reverend Mother grows increasingly harsh, 18-year-old Sister Cathleen undergoes a sexual awakening. Cathleen stirs one night after masturbating in her sleep. She stops eating and interacting with the other novices and nuns over her impure thoughts. When her mother visits the convent to deliver news about her father Chuck's passing, she notices Cathleen's pale and emaciated appearance. Nora threatens the Reverend Mother over her daughter's treatment, but Reverend Mother bushes it off, saying that Nora no longer has a daughter but that Cathleen has now given her life to the Church. Cathleen eventually collapses during dinner one evening from starvation and dehydration, she is sent to the infirmary for several days where she confides in another young nun, Sister Emanuel. Later on, Cathleen sneaks out of the infirmary and into Sister Emanuel's room where Cathleen tells her that she longs for "comfort," leading to a kiss and their having sexual intercourse. After this, Cathleen leaves the infirmary and shows signs of recovery, is eating again and showing quiet happiness, but neither she or Sister Emanuel ever discuss their sexual encounter. Meanwhile, Archbishop McCarthy pays a visit to the convent. He tells Mother Superior that "this order in particular" is having difficulty embracing the changes of Vatican II. She dismisses the "ridiculous reforms." He tells her that if she can't adapt to the changes, she will be replaced. As for "that old medieval stuff," the extreme penances, "That's gotta stop." Mother Superior is devastated. She fears God has abandoned her. At a subsequent Chapter of Faults, a novice confesses that she questions God's existence. Mother Superior tells her she's tired of hearing of her spiritual wretchedness and assigns her no penance at all. When Cathleen goes next and confesses feeling the need to be emotionally comforted and about her one-time sexual encounter with another nun, she refuses to give away the nun's name and only asks for penance. Mother Superior forces Cathleen to crawl on her hands and knees and to beg for penance from each of the other novices, which finally brings Cathleen to tears. Mother Superior grants penance to Cathleen anyway. Afterwards, Sister Emanuel leaves the convent without saying goodbye to Cathleen. Eventually, Mother Superior calls the congregation and reads aloud the Archbishop's memo about Vatican II. Priests will say the Mass in English, and face the congregation. Catholics must embrace religious tolerance. Nuns are no longer required to wear habits and can wear whatever they wish as their status is now reduced and equal to any lay Catholic. Of the original twenty postulants, only five are left to profess their final vows to become solemnly professed nuns, among them is Cathleen. At their mass of Solemn Profession, the priest asks each of the novices, "What do you seek?" One answers that she wants to take her vows and marry Jesus Christ. The priest then asks Cathleen the same question. She answers, "I seek something more." ===== Xiao Han, a man with deep anxiety caused by the tragic death of one of his schoolmates, Queen Wang, has a boring life for 40 years.

Ken Cosgrove gets into a crash with drunken Chevrolet executives. When the agency is informed of yet another unsuccessful Chevrolet pitch, Don says the team will have to work over the weekend. Sylvia then calls Don, giving her name as "Arnold" (her husband) to the secretary. She chastises Don for leaving cigarette butts outside her apartment, rousing Arnold's suspicions, and says she is more afraid of Don than her husband. Don tries to reassure her but fails. She hangs up. He throws the phone in anger. Don then comes down with a strong cough, after which a flashback begins. A young Don is coughing at the dinner table with a fever. His stepmother Abigail tells him to sleep in the cellar. Back at the agency, the death of Frank Gleason is mourned. The agency is informed of an energy serum available upstairs that is purported to result in one to three days of "uninterrupted creative focus, energy, and confidence" for those taking it. Don walks in for a dose (administered in the gluteus) and exits to find members of the creative team acting highly informally. As Don begins to cough walking downstairs, a flashback begins of young Don going to the cellar but being invited into another room by a young woman. At the agency, while on the stairs, Don sees a woman on the lower floor and stares at her, wondering if they know one another. He briefly hears the noises of the office, such as telephones, very loudly. That evening, Don rummages through a magazine pile and asks for Ken. He tells Ken that the former will brainstorm many Chevrolet campaigns, and that Don must be able to look the executives in the eyes. Ken begins tap dancing and, in exclamations that match the rhythm, states enthusiastically what his job responsibilities are. Don then visits the creative team and gives them an impromptu motivational speech, with Peggy calling his words inspiring but asking for an actual idea. When walking back to his office, Don is reminded of his past once more. In bed, a young Don is served soup by the young woman. This instantly gives Don an ad idea. Upon visiting the creative team again on Saturday, he is introduced to Wendy, the daughter of the deceased Frank. Don tells Peggy to look in the 1950s archives for a Sterling Cooper account about soup. Don goes back to his office and finds Wendy, who says she is there "to make [him] feel better". He tells her he is busy. She nonetheless walks up to him, gently puts a stethoscope to his heart, and says it's broken. Don at first thinks she means his heart, but she tells him it's the stethoscope itself. He tells her to leave. Don calls Megan to inform her he will have to work longer. She is angered, having to leave. Sally is told to babysit the children. Meanwhile, Stan is injured in a target- throwing game played by the creative team, and Peggy carries him off. Don arrives at Sylvia's apartment, leans against the door and hears only a song playing, with lyrics including: "I must think of a way into your heart." Back at the office, Stan kisses Peggy but is turned down. When he tells her that his cousin Robbie was killed in action, Peggy advises Stan that "you have to let yourself feel [grief]" and that it cannot be dampened with other things. She suggests he go home, but thanks him politely when he makes a sexually suggestive compliment. Sally hears noises in the apartment and finds a black woman has entered the living room, claiming to have raised her father and to be named "Ida". Sally remains somewhat skeptical, but the woman pressures her into sitting down to eat some eggs, and begins acquainting herself with Sally. Don meanwhile manages to find the soup commercial in the archives. It depicts a boy being served soup by a woman, with the caption, "Because you know what he needs." In another flashback, young Don is told to refer to the woman who invited him in as "Aimée". The next morning, Don has recovered. She admits her real name is "Amy", then seduces him with the assurance: "I'll do everything." Although he acquiesces to Amy's advances, Don never quite consents, either. Back at the apartment, Ida and Sally are in conversation, with the latter continuing to ask questions. Ida introduces herself to Bobbie and asks about a gold watch of Don's that she says she wants to fix. Sally calls the police once Ida leaves the room to look, believing still that the latter is a con woman. Ida enters the room, grabs the phone from Sally, and convinces the police that Sally is simply performing a prank call. She then warns the children to go to sleep. At the agency, when Peggy and Michael arrive at Don's office, Don says he has an idea. Peggy is frustrated by his inability to articulate it, however. Don leaves. Peggy finds Jim surreptitiously watching Wendy and Stan in flagrante in another room. Annoyed, Peggy goes home. Don goes to his own apartment, although seemingly while preparing to talk to Sylvia. He finds Megan, Betty, Henry, and the children in the living room with the police. Betty scolds Don, who then remembers having left the back door open, for what has occurred. Don then faints. In a final flashback to his past, Aimée (that is, Amy) is kicked out of the house, and Don is beaten when Abigail learns that Amy had "taken his cherry", assuming that it was his fault. Don later wakes up in his apartment, and Megan apologizes for the earlier events. Don and Sylvia later run into each other on the elevator; both say nothing. Don calls Sally at work to tell her he's okay, and assures her that he's "sure she's fooled plenty of adults too". Sally says that she's embarrassed and that she realizes that she knows nothing about him. He asks her to forget about the earlier events, admits that he had left the apartment door unlocked, and takes the blame himself. Don visits Ted and Jim. The former is greatly disappointed in the results of the past 72 hours, noting that Chevy was even spelled wrong in the "work". Don stands his ground, saying to call him when Chevy is ready to run an ad, maybe in two years, and he then argues that automobile accounts have not been good for the company: "Every time we get a car, this place turns into a whorehouse." Ted and Jim watch Don silently and blankly as he goes back to his office and shuts the door. ===== In 1901, a strange flying machine, called Fend-l'air, was seen flying over the rooftops of Belleville. ===== Sam Bloom (Peter Dinklage) and his brother are driving in the night when their car collides with another, causing his brother’s death.

Bloom re-watches his “accident memory” and finds out that the Dunns were in the other car and that their daughter was killed in the collision. Bloom had fled the scene after seeing the little girl dead, leaving his brother to take the fall. Bloom hands over his memory to Carolyn as a sort of confession apology. Time passes and it is unclear if she watches the memory glass, later she throws it into the sea with Dunn’s recordings as she watches her daughter playing on the water—a hallucination resulting from her own use of the memory device. A montage of the lives of everyone affected by the device is shown over the launch of the repaired memory device while a recording by Dunn plays describing the power of memories for a person. ===== A cafe violinist is released from prison.

She develops a close friendship with 5-Nova Luis. At the age of seven Hsing and the other children of similar age are allowed to put on clothes for the first time; Hsing greatly looks forward to this ceremony, a rite of passage aboard the Discovery. As the children grow older Luis begins to develop an interest in the virtual reality programs that allow people on the ship to explore the planet they have left behind. Disagreements with her friend Rosie, a member of Bliss, lead Hsing to explore the philosophy of the angels. Although she questions in her own mind the purpose of the voyage, she disagrees with the angels' thinking, which eventually damages her friendship with Rosie. Luis also investigates this group, by participating in some of their practices. Entering college at the age of 18 Hsing discovers that 4-Hiroshi Canaval, the teacher of Navigation, has asked her to be placed directly into the second-year navigation course. Hsing shows an aptitude for the subject, and in her third year chooses to make it her profession. Luis chooses to become a doctor, and their academic separation leads to Hsing and Luis slowly drawing apart from one another. Hsing finds herself attracted to Hiroshi, and the two begin a romantic relationship. Three days after their wedding Hiroshi tells Hsing that the focus of his life's work is not simply navigation, as is generally believed, but concealing a secret from the rest of the ship. A few years earlier an unexpected gravitational effect led to the ship experiencing a vast acceleration, putting it 40 years ahead of schedule; it is expected to arrive at Hsin Ti Chiu in five years. Hiroshi tells Hsing that he and a handful of allies, who believe that the people on the ship should stop at Hsin Ti Chiu, have been keeping news of the acceleration secret. They believe that hiding the knowledge of the schedule provides them a weapon against the angels, who do not wish the ship to stop at all. Hsing becomes a reluctant party to the conspiracy, but is distressed by its secrecy and what she considers to be dishonesty, and persuades Hiroshi and his allies to go public with the information. Meanwhile, Luis thoroughly investigates the education program for the sixth generation aboard the ship (the generation supposed to land on Hsin Ti Chiu) and finds that large parts of it have been erased or replaced with propaganda by the angels. Luis succeeds in making the ruling council of the ship launch an investigation into religious manipulation of the education program. Persuaded by Hsing, Hiroshi makes a public statement about the ship's new schedule, while concealing the fact that he had known about it for a while. A few months later Luis is elected Chair of the ship's ruling council, and helps bring about a settlement wherein the people on board can choose whether or not to stay on the ship, and also choose whether the ship stays in orbit around Hsin Ti Chiu. Hsing has a child by Hiroshi, but Hiroshi dies soon afterward, of heart failure. The ship's educational curriculum is revised, and all schools are required to allow teachers who are not angels to teach material relevant to living on the new planet. The new planet proves to be habitable by humans, and around a quarter of the ship's population moves to it, settling down despite the difficulty of learning to live on a planet again. The ship leaves, not intending to return. ===== Murthy (Pandiyan), Gopinath (Janagaraj) and Sekar (Chandrasekhar) are three friends who live together and share a close bond with each other.

After Sathaiya advises them not to fight and let Chitra choose whom she wants to marry, they agree. Chitra finally decides to marry Murthy. One day, Sathaiya reveals that his grandfather was also trapped in an old lamp many centuries ago, and requests the three friends to get such lamps from ancient artifact auctions, so he can find his grandfather.

But unbeknownst to them, Madan had hidden some diamonds in that lamp for his smuggling trade, and is now frustrated that the lamp is gone. Sathaiya suggests to the three friends to use the diamond to impress S. S. Chandran, so that he will agree to offer Chitra's hand to Murthy. Upon finding that his wedding dreams are going to be shattered, Madan informs the police about the diamonds. After police confiscate the diamonds, Sathaiya converts them into sugar cubes, thus saving all of them from being imprisoned. S. S. Chandran now disappointed with the fake diamonds, berates the three friends and asks them to leave, and decides to get Chitra married to Madan. At home, Gopinath and Murthy get into an argument with Sathaiya since Murthy's wedding is now stopped.

After Gopinath and Murthy start hurling insults at Sathaiya, he becomes heart-broken and decides to leave them. He tells them that he will re-appear when they truly believe in him and think of him in their hearts again. After a few days, the three friends read an article in the paper where someone offers his kidney and other organs for sale. When they visit the house of that person, they find that he is their old neighbour K. K. Soundar. K. K. Soundar has lost his job and is forced to take this extreme step to get Bhuvana married.
