Groping, harassment, exclusion etc. including scenes which boldly highlight ways in which women themselves contribute to their own marginalization. This lightheartedness soon gives way to a section of vivid monologues portraying harmful ways in which women are victimized and oppressed, including molestation, child brides and gender based violence and abuse. This painful section is punctuated by a shrill call to action chant in Yoruba which ushers in an exhilarating and refreshing second half of the play with powerful portraits of resistance, triumph and celebration. The final piece re-captures the different themes in the play with a direct appeal to audiences to get engaged in becoming part of the solution. ===== Bill Cossett, who owns an automobile dealership, has a problem. Tighe has forbidden all advertising and all sales techniques. Cossett petitions Tighe to loosen the restrictions, but instead is conscripted into the forces besieging the automated factory, where he witnesses the scope of the problem. The factories cannot be destroyed, and the automated trucks of products that emerge from them are heavily defended and have to be destroyed with massive amounts of scarce ordinance. The factory systems can adapt to attacks and are becoming more and more difficult to overcome. Tighe's secretary suggests getting into the factory disguised, "like Sherlock Holmes", but as raw materials. This idea seems fantastic at first, but eventually Cossett and his colleagues succeed in reaching the factory and cutting off the supply of material. However, at a celebratory picnic near the factory exit, another truck emerges. It is destroyed, but the crates it contains start leaking shiny, floating objects. The factory has found a way to make products out of pure force fields, without materials at all. Even worse, there will be no way of getting rid of the old models. ===== Beta (Ryan Hurst) has led the massive Whisperer horde to the Tower, where the survivors inside scramble to adjust their plan for survival. Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam) orders several pairs of survivors to sneak pieces of a speaker system out past the horde onto a wagon to be pulled by horses, which the survivors will use to play music and lure the horde to the ocean to destroy them. Luke (Dan Fogler), Jules (Alex Sgambati), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Kelly (Angel Theory), Jerry (Cooper Andrews), Magna (Nadia Hilker), Carol (Melissa McBride), and Beatrice (Briana Venskus) decide to venture through the horde covered in walker guts to engineer the escape plan. Before they go, Lydia (Cassady McClincy) makes amends with Carol, with the latter insisting the former needs to make her own way with her mother Alpha dead. The group begin sifting through the horde, with Whisperers being picked off by archers. Most of the group manages to evade the horde and flee into the woods. Carol manages to mortally wound a Whisperer that attacks her and Beatrice, but the dying Whisperer wounds Beatrice, forcing Carol to leave her behind as she is discovered and eaten by the horde. The survivors set up Luke’s sound system and begin blaring music that successfully lures the horde away from the Tower, giving the people inside the chance to escape. Beta and most of the Whisperers stay with the horde and catch up to the wagon as night falls, destroying it after forcing the group to retreat and abandon the wagon. With no other options, Daryl leads the group in hunting down and killing the Whisperers one by one in a last ditch effort to stop the horde from returning to the Tower. Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Daryl confront Beta; though Beta tries to avenge Alpha’s death, Daryl stabs him in each eye. Beta remembers the Whisperers’ creed of embracing all death, and smiles happily as he imagines the horde embracing him as they devour him. Negan recognizes Beta from before the apocalypse, but Daryl shrugs it off. Back at the Tower, most of the group has evacuated thanks to the absence of the horde, but Gabriel stays behind to hold off a group of Whisperers. Gabriel acquits himself well but is nearly killed; he is saved by a hooded, masked warrior in the company of Maggie (Lauren Cohan), who has returned to the area after reading a letter from Carol warning her about the Whisperers. The pair were also able to save Aaron (Ross Marquand) and Alden (Callan McAuliffe) from a group of Whisperers. Lydia, having learned how to lead a horde from her mother, dons Alpha’s mask and leads the horde to a cliff, intending to jump to her death in order to lead the horde to its doom. Carol catches up with her and orders her to go and she will take her place, but Lydia saves her from committing suicide and the pair embrace as they hide while the horde wanders off the cliff. Lydia throws her mother’s mask off the cliff as well. The group regroups outside the Tower in a makeshift camp; Maggie reunites with Judith (Cailey Fleming), and Daryl promises Carol that he’s still there for her. Meanwhile, Connie (Lauren Ridloff) is revealed to be alive, albeit weak and malnourished. After collapsing in the road, she is found by Virgil (Kevin Carroll), who made his way to Oceanside only to find it empty. In West Virginia, Eugene’s (Josh McDermitt) group arrives at the intended rendezvous point with Stephanie in a train yard. After suffering a bicycle crash earlier, Eugene initially believes he has missed his meeting with Stephanie, but inspired by his friends declares they’ll go looking for her. The four are suddenly accosted by a large group of heavily armed soldiers wearing white and red body armor, who force the group to surrender their weapons and get on their knees at gunpoint. ===== The first chapter takes place in Dublin in 1883, showing the young Francie Fitzpatrick and Roderick Lambert. The rest of the book is set in 1889–90 in rural County Galway, in or near to Connemara, with some chapters in Bray, County Wicklow and Paris. (Some accounts claim that the book is set in County Cork, but mentions of Galway city, Ballinasloe, "the Connemara mountains" and the "Galway hills" make it clear that it is set in County Galway.) ===== A (Lee Jin-seok) wakes up in a bathtub to find his kidney missing.

While the film crew is shooting and the script still unfinished, will A find a way out of his hellish predicament? ===== The narrative of Legacy is framed in the same way as the main game; Varric is still in the middle of an interrogation by Cassandra, where she tells him that he left out the details of one of Hawke's side adventures that she is aware of. Varric explained that Hawke's party, with Bethany or Carver as potential party members, traveled to a dark prison in the middle of the deserted Vimmark Mountains where they are trapped by magical barriers. Hawke’s investigation into why the Carta, a dwarven criminal syndicate, is targeting the Hawke family led the party there. They discover that the prison houses Corypheus, a powerful and ancient darkspawn, and that thirty years before the events of Dragon Age II, the prison was magically resealed by Hawke's father on the direction of the Grey Wardens. This is because Corypheus is capable of influencing his Grey Warden jailors through the Taint in their blood, even while trapped in a dormant state. As a result, Corypheus managed to influence Carta members to pursue Malcolm Hawke's descendants to obtain their blood in order to release him. Corypheus is also able to influence both Grey Wardens who are entrusted with guarding his prison, Janeka and Larius, though unlike Janeka, Larius was able to retain his mental independence and kept Corypheus from controlling him completely. After meeting Janeka and Larius, Hawke is informed that the only way out is to slay Corypheus; Hawke may side with either Janeka or Larius, which results in the other being killed. Hawke releases Corypheus, and seemingly killed him. Unbeknownst to Hawke's party, Corypheus' soul transferred to the surviving Grey Warden, who then take their leave. ===== The narrative begins during Cassandra's ongoing interrogation of Varric, where she confronted him for not disclosing information about Hawke's involvement with Tallis and their activities at Château Haine, alleging that the Champion of Kirkwall's actions nearly started a war involving Orlais and the Free Marches. Varric reveals that Tallis interrupted an ambush meant for Hawke, and she persuaded the Champion of Kirkwall to accept an invitation from Duke Prosper de Monfort, a high-ranking Orlesian nobleman and a relative of the Orlesian Empress, to visit his estate outside Kirkwall as cover for her to steal the "Heart of the Many". Hawke and company arrive at the Château, having apparently accepted Prosper's previous invitation to the Champion of Kirkwall. After slaying a wyvern during a hunt, Prosper welcomes the Champion into his home. When Hawke and Tallis infiltrate his vault, it is then revealed that Prosper knew who the latter was all along and has the two imprisoned. Tallis reveals her allegiance to the Qunari and admits to Hawke that there never was a jewel called the "Heart of the Many"; she was in fact pursuing an individual named Salit, who defected from his people and was branded "Tal-Vashoth", as he intended to sell confidential information about the Qunari spy network in Thedas to Prosper. After the two break out of their cell, and if Hawke and company attempt to escape right through the Château, Prosper will bar their escape as he summons a brigade of chevaliers and harlequins to fight them and seals the Château. He then leaves the Château, ordering his Chasind bodyguard, Cahir, to deal with the interlopers. Prosper then meets with Salit, expressing his regret for agreeing to spare Tallis and Hawke, and insists they conclude their exchange. Instead of the blackpowder formula, dreadnought plans, or a map of Qunanadar Prosper was expecting however, Salit gives Prosper a list of names detailing the various Qunari Ben-Hassrath agents in Thedas. Prosper fails to see the value of the information and is angered by Salit's seemingly useless offer. As he is confronted by Hawke, he unknowingly passes the list to a disguised Tallis. After all parties exchange words, Prosper fires a green substance at Salit that attracts the wyvern mount Leopold, who mauls and kills the Tal-Vashoth. In the ensuing battle, Hawke manages to trip Leopold while Prosper is riding him in mid-charge, ultimately resulting in him falling to his death. His threats of reprisal against Hawke are futile, as it would become scandalous if it became public knowledge that he was dealing with Tal- Vashoth, possibly on the Empress' orders. Tallis and Hawke part ways at the conclusion of Varric's narration. ===== Highly intelligent, mentally disturbed career criminal Ellis Pond escapes from prison, runs through a forest and successfully evades his pursuers. Ellis's older sister Lucinda, once the best homicide detective in the Portland Police Bureau, now runs a tackle shop from her houseboat. A burnt-out, depressed alcoholic, she is estranged from her husband Adam and young daughter Marcie, and tormented by nightmares of the event that got her removed from the force four years earlier: Her manhunt in Maris Creek for child molester and suspected serial killer Victor Orbin led to a SWAT team gunning down an innocent man working at the site. Orbin, who was never at the scene, is presumed still at large. Ellis reappears in Portland, strangling and castrating Internal Affairs investigator Fred Tierney, who was responsible for Lucinda's removal. Detective Travis Adler recognizes the murder as being Orbin's modus operandi, and thinks the killer may have resurfaced. He asks Lucinda to return to the force to head the case and track down Orbin for good, but she refuses, rattled when learning of Ellis's escape. Ellis kills an insurance salesman, puts on his clothes, drives to a house and murders the man who answers the door. Both men are also strangled and castrated to copycat Orbin. Lucinda discovers that the house was her childhood home. She and Ellis were abused by their alcoholic father, long dead of an illness, and she always tried to take the brunt of it, swearing to always look after Ellis. FBI Special Agent Arthur Fortis, Junior, brought on the case as an advisor, answers a phone call to Lucinda from Ellis, who reveals details of the murders and demands his sister be put on the case. Lucinda finds a coded note from Ellis in the house's attic, revealing his apparent willingness to surrender to her that night. She figures out the location and stakes it out with Travis, Junior and their team. Ellis calls her, seemingly taunting her with riddles from their childhood, and his location is traced to a homeless shelter across the street. Everyone races there, but Lucinda realizes it is a setup. A booby trap in the room explodes, injuring Junior and killing several other officers. Ellis escapes and later poses as a camper in Crater Lake National Park, where he meets a boy named Kelly. Seeing that Kelly is being abused by his father, Ellis kidnaps him after murdering his father and tying up his mother. A clue left at the house murder leads Lucinda to her father's old office. In the basement, she finds a skeleton in a refrigerator. As the team converges on the park, they learn that the skeleton is Victor Orbin's, and he was dead before the events at Maris Creek, having in fact been previously buried there. Lucinda realizes that Ellis committed all the murders, killed Orbin and framed him, believing that Lucinda would find the body, figure out Ellis was responsible, and come after him. The innocent worker's death was an unforeseen circumstance. With Lucinda pulled from duty and unable to protect Ellis, he was imprisoned on unrelated charges, which explains why "Orbin" stopped killing. Lucinda now knows that Ellis wants her to kill him, to spare her of always having to be her brother's keeper. She is determined to bring him in alive. As Lucinda and Junior search the forest, she is injured by one of Ellis's traps. Junior performs first aid and heads back to their SUV, where Ellis ambushes and stabs him. Lucinda hears the struggle and finds Junior wounded but alive. She presses a GPS beacon on his wrist, alerting the team to their location, then finds Ellis holding Kelly at gunpoint. Ellis begs her to kill him, but she refuses, wounding him and letting Kelly run away. A police sniper fires at Ellis; Lucinda dives in front of the bullet, but it goes through her shoulder and into his chest. As Ellis dies in her arms, he says that he has been killing "just one person" – their father – and that "he kept coming back". Later, Travis drops Lucinda off at Adam's house, where she reconciles with him and Marcie. ===== Octagon is a novel in which Alex Barrow discovers that someone is killing his opponents in the science fiction play- by-mail game Starweb. ===== The House Between the Worlds is a novel in which graduate student Fenton experiments with drugs to trigger paranormal events. ===== Their Majesties' Bucketeers is a novel in which Offe Woom investigates the death of a professor on a world inhabited by trisexual tripedal aliens. ===== The story of a girl who comes from a small-town decides to stay in Shanghai after graduation and work her way up to become the top 10% of the population. ===== In the near future, children with supernatural powers called "Talents" begin to emerge; to prepare them in upcoming battle against the "Enemies of Humanity", they are sent to a school located in a faraway island.

Who will win the coveted position? ===== In September 1973, Peter Sellers was signed to star in a 17th-century pirate comedy, to be filmed in Cyprus for Columbia Pictures. What followed was a game of cat and mouse between Sellers, Director Peter Medak, cast, crew and movie executives as Sellers repeatedly attempted to shut down the film. Sellers was in a personal and professional void at the start of filming; his recent failed relationship with Liza Minnelli and a number of poorly received films had spun him into a dark period, giving rise to a roller coaster of incidents during production, from sabotage to mutiny, from agonizing shooting schedules in cold temperatures to Spike Milligan’s frantic on-set rewrites. The film was somehow completed, but Columbia Pictures never released it to theaters. The 2018 film illustrates the insanity of the 1973 production, while illuminating a rising young director. Medak had made three well-received films in five years,Negatives (released 1968); The Ruling Class (released 1972); and A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (released 1972). including ‘The Ruling Class’ in ‘72 with Peter O’ Toole (nominated both for the Palm D’Or and an Academy Award). The 1973 failed effort with Sellers put a significant damper on Medak's career. Although four decades had passed, Medak still felt the wounds from Sellers' actions, and The Ghost of Peter Sellers became his opportunity to tell the story of what happened on that film and release the weight associated with its failure. The film also documents the inner workings of the movie business, the lunacy of a production when it unravels, and how the bankability of an actor can be the catalyst for a project but also its nemesis. It is a comic-tragic feature documentary about what it takes to be a film director and survive one's biggest disaster. ===== It features the lives of several people during the lockdown, in a total of 10 different houses showing how they cope with this situation the best they can. ===== ===== Starship & Haiku is a novel in which the people of Japan seek to die honorably after the world is ravaged by biological and nuclear war. ===== Spacetime Donuts is a novel in which the universe is a single particle which is folded to create everything we see. ===== ===== Long Shot for Rosinante is a novel in which Rosinante declares independence from the state of Texas. ===== Last Communion is a novel in which an alien invades a human mind. ===== Tomorrow's Heritage is a novel in which the members of a family each pursue different goals as an alien probe enters the system. ===== Venkat (Rohit) is a college student and the son of a retired military official (Radha Ravi).

He persuades her to trust him and knocks out her guard, but when it turns out that Kaja knows nothing about Frankie, Donal returns to torture the guard to get the information he needs.

Meeting with his uncle Eamon, he discovers that not only that Frankie's father Joe was a gangster, but that his mother had had an affair with many years ago, and had been with Joe when he was killed by a rival. While Donal is away, Frankie and a henchman kill Eamon and wait for Donal to come back, but Donal is able to capture Frankie instead. He takes her to the beach where Joe had been killed. As he forces her to kneel in front of a grave he has dug for her, Frankie admits that she was the one who killed his mother, but she also reveals that his mother had killed her father because he was planning on leaving her. In addition, Frankie tells him that if he kills her, he would be orphaning a young girl just as she herself had been orphaned when her father died. Hearing this, Donal decides he wants to end the cycle of violence and spares her life. However as he walks away, she attacks him with a shovel and races back to the RV to grab her gun, and but Donal kills her before she can use it on him.

Kayla and Ty try to escape but are caught by Apex, who tries to help them while Cole kills Dora, one of the family's dogs. Jeff lies about Becky's presence to protect her, but Dominick catches on and shoots Kayla in the leg to get the truth out of them. Becky, still in the woods, becomes aware of the intruders' presence and talks over a walkie-talkie, lying about calling the cops; Dominick calls her bluff and brings Jeff outside to lure Becky out. He begins to torture Jeff with a fire poker. Becky relents and says she will give him the key. Dominick allows Jeff to talk through the talkie, but he orders Becky to run.

Back in the Hub planet system, Emperox Grayland II consults with her Memory Room – the recorded thoughts and emotional states of every single previous emperox – in search of an unlikely solution to save the entire population of the Interdependency. She plans to break the Nohamapetan blockade of End via a predicted new “evanescent” Flow stream into the End system, while Marce Claremont, a scientific advisor and eventual secret fiancé to Grayland, discovers a possible new method for controlling the evanescent Flow streams which may allow for the transport of whole habitats to the End system, thus preventing an overburden on the planet itself.

The plot's main character, John Carter-Carter (Raymond Hitchcock), is portrayed as a pleasant man who drinks alcohol excessively. His frequent drinking often causes him to ignore or forget his day-to-day responsibilities, much to the regret of his fiancée, Marybelle Loring (Flora Zabelle), who pleads with him to stop boozing. When her little brother Billie (Raymond Hackett) asks John why his sister is so sad, the man blames the "Ringtailed Rhinoceros". The boy is confused by that answer, but he vows to kill the beast. Soon, though, the rhino leads John once again to alcohol and this time to the destruction of his wedding plans. Intoxicated, John arrives late to a lawn party where he and Marybelle were to announce their betrothal. The invited guests have departed; Marybelle is humiliated; and her furious parents (Herbert Fortier and Ida Waterman) cancel the engagement. John's break-up with Marybelle devastates him. Returning to his rented room, he finds little Billie waiting there, still eager to hunt and kill the rhino. John assures the boy that together they will slay him, so they begin planning how to do it. Before long, Billie falls asleep in a chair, as does John, who begins to dream. In his dream John sees himself as a shabby, destitute wanderer who is captured by pirates and forced to toil aboard their ship. Later, at sea, while John is scrubbing the vessel's deck, the Ringtailed Rhinoceros suddenly appears and leads him to the pirate captain's stock of rum. John gleefully guzzles a bottle, but he is caught by the crew and forced to walk the plank for stealing. Once in the water, John manages after a long swim to reach an island, where he is chased by soldiers who magically materialize. As he flees, John sees an elaborately dressed boy who looks just like Billie. He is the island's prince named "Good Intent". John rushes up to him and begs for protection. The prince agrees and takes the stranger to see his royal family, including his sister, "The Weeping Princess", who bears a striking resemblance to Marybelle. At the palace John learns the princess is under a magic spell that compels her to cry constantly until the Ringtailed Rhinoceros is destroyed. He promises to kill him, but the king and queen, who are identical in appearance to Marybelle's parents, doubt his pledge. The prince now gives John an eight-legged horse named "Resolution" to help him in his search. Soon John locates the rhino, but instead of battling the beast, he allows the animal to take him to the king's wine cellar. There for several days John enjoys drinking, while reporting to the royal family that he is busy hunting. A "Counsellor Bird" fails to persuade John to resume his mission, so the bird informs the family about the deception. The king orders John beheaded for lying, but the prince intervenes and saves him again. Armed with an old gun, a blunderbuss, and accompanied by the prince, John sets out with a renewed resolve to kill the rhino. The pair enter the beast's domain, where an array of animals threaten them and then try to lure John to the "River of Drinks". The prince, however, helps him resist the temptations. John now begins shooting at the rhino's allies, which prompts the rhino to take the offensive. He rallies the animals for an attack on the palace, so John and the prince rush back to the royal family to defend them. In the throne room, John sees a bottle of wine and is about to drink it when the rhino bursts into the room and approaches the king, queen, and weeping princess. Nearby, the prince shouts at John to kill the creature. John responds, hurling the bottle at the rhino, striking him on the head and killing him. The princess immediately stops crying and embraces John. As everyone celebrates, John awakes from his "fable-dream". The fantastic adventure has deeply affected him. When he sees Billie and Marybelle again he proclaims that he has at last killed the Ringtailed Rhinoceros and can begin life anew, fully dedicated to being a more responsible, sober man. ===== Hero Adam Coryell unexpectedly finds himself to be a golf prodigy. Unfortunately he wants to be a writer, and he hates golf. ===== Lulong native An Daye () is born with the ability to speak, although he soon loses it after his mother feeds him dog's blood. An grows up to become an eligible bachelor and his mother receives a revelation in her dreams that he will marry a princess. One day, a divine princess by the name of Yunluo appears in An's bedroom along with her housemaid, who announces that the king has decreed that An will be his son-in- law. The princess proceeds to play a game of weiqi with An; she wins in just thirty moves. They begin a second game, wherein An is offered a handicap of six black stones. After An blunders, the princess offers him a thousand taels to refurbish his house before she moves in, although her housemaid adds that he should only do so the following month. Princess Yunluo then signals that she is leaving, and An unsuccessfully attempts to stop her from doing so. An recounts the strange episode to his mother, who dismisses it as demonic activity. Nonetheless, he proceeds with the renovation of his house — ignoring the advice to wait for a month — and finds himself constantly thinking of the princess. A month later, An bumps into Luanzhou scholar Yuan Dayong () whom he, being an introvert, had been avoiding. However, An quickly warms up to Yuan upon seeing how polite and well-dressed he is. An invites him to his place and Yuan returns the courtesy the following day. Yuan instructs his preadolescent boy servant to carry an inebriated A home; the two men begin to meet more frequently and their friendship blossoms. Known for his generosity, Yuan gifts An with ten pairs of ivory chopsticks, red sandalwood prayer beads, and five thousand silver taels, the last of which An rejects. One month later, an official in Laoting has his house looted by bandits. Yuan is contacted to draft an arrest warrant for them. An is accused of being the perpetrator by his neighbour Tu (), who has a vendetta against the An family; as An is absent when the army arrives at his house, An's mother is arrested and detained instead. She completely loses her appetite out of fright and although she is released some three days later, she is unable to recover from the ordeal and dies. An and his servants are arrested at her burial. Convinced that An has been falsely implicated, however, the county magistrate lets An go and arranges for his protection. An is escorted by guards who, having been bribed by Tu, intend to assassinate him but are mauled to death by a tiger just as they are about to push An off a cliff. The tiger fetches An to a pavilion where he is reunited with Princess Yunluo, who gives him ten buttons for his protection. On his way home, An encounters a flustered Yuan who tells him: "The men I killed were unjust, and what I took from them they didn't deserve. Otherwise, I wouldn't even pick up money that'd been lost by the side of a road. You taught me that people can genuinely behave admirably, so why should people like your neighbour remain living in the world!" Completing his mother's funeral rites, An becomes a recluse. One day, his neighbour's entire household, bar a housemaid, is massacred by unknown assailants who demonstrate supernatural abilities as flying past rooftops and over walls. The maid reports the crime the following day and the magistrate summons An, the prime suspect, to court. However, An invokes the power of the buttons that the princess had given him, and the magistrate is compelled to exonerate him. An becomes even more socially withdrawn while awaiting the return of Princess Yunluo. She finally arrives at his courtyard three years later, and lectures An for renovating his house too quickly. She offers him a choice between playing weiqi and having sex; he chooses the latter even though it means spending only six years with her, as opposed to thirty years with the former option. The days pass quickly and Yunluo — via a housemaid wearing her clothes and undergarments — gives birth to a boy she names Daqi (; literally "Great Instrument") on account of his auspicious countenance. She tells An that she wishes to visit her parents and therefore will be gone for three days. However, owing to the time difference between heaven and Earth, two-and-a-half years elapse before the princess returns. In that time, An has become a juren, but ditches his academic aspirations after they are belittled by Yunluo. After a few more trips back home, the princess gives birth to another son whom she curses at. An rejects his wife's plea for their second child to be abandoned, and names him Keqi (; literally "Can Be Abandoned"). Princess Yunluo desperately tries to marry her son off to no avail and she bitterly remarks that he will ruin others' lives for six or seven years. An is instructed by his wife to agree to Keqi's betrothal with a daughter in the Hou () household who will be born four years later with a wart on her left armpit. The princess then leaves and never returns. Daqi grows up to be a successful scholar, marrying into the Yun () family, whereas Keqi leads a life of crime. Embittered by his father's favouritism towards his brother, Keqi decides to murder Daqi but mistakenly wounds Daqi's wife. Before absconding, he also unsuccessfully attempts to kill An Daye. Grief-stricken, An soon dies and Keqi returns home to reconcile with his brother. They become estranged again after Keqi sues Daqi for having a more bountiful share of the family farmland than him. However, recalling his mother's words, Daqi still sees to it that Keqi marries Hou. Hou establishes a hold on her husband, dictating for how long he may leave the house. A year later, she gives birth to a son and asserts financial independence. Keqi tries to sneak out but is caught by his wife, who slices off a large chunk of his buttocks and throws him out of the house. Humiliated, Keqi pleads with both his brother and sister-in-law for sympathy but is given the cold shoulder. Rushing back home with a spear, he threatens to murder Hou but is frightened off as soon as he sees her. Daqi intercedes on his broken brother's behalf and Keqi makes amends with Hou. Having renounced his old way of life, Keqi becomes a thoroughly henpecked husband, even at age 70 with many children and grandchildren. In his postscript, Pu Songling comments on the shrew and appends two other profiles of scholars with assertive wives. ===== Lee Ka-yin (Danny Lee), nicknamed Bee, a diamond smuggler and former triad member and ex-con who have been imprisoned four times in the past, arrives in Taiwan for a business deal with Taiwanese triad leader, Hark (Blackie Ko).

He is introduced to Colonel Kasteen and Major Broklaw, the highest-ranking officers from both regiments. Cain discovers that tensions between the members of the 296th'301st are rising rapidly due to clashing centuries-old traditions. The tension comes to a head when a riot breaks out in a mess hall, with multiple casualties within the 296th'301st and the ship's crew. With some luck and wit, Cain manages to defuse the situation, placating the angered ship crew and forging new unity between the Guardsmen of the Valhallan 597th, formed from the merger of the 296th and 301st. Members of the 597th responsible for the riot are sentenced to undertake suicide missions in the future. Some time later, the 597th are assigned to the backwater planet of Gravalax as a show of force since the planet's locals have begun to defect to the Tau, a race of expansionist aliens. At a diplomatic event organised by Planetary Governor Grice, a Tau diplomat is assassinated, causing tensions to rise. Nearly immediately after, conflict breaks out across the capital, with civilian rioters and Planetary Defence Force troops fighting against and on the side of both Imperial and Tau forces. Cain and Lord General Zyvan are able to discover the presence of a conspiracy on Gravalax to initiate conflict between the Tau and the Imperium to unknown ends. During an operation to suppress the chaos, Cain and the convicted members of the 597th are recruited by Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Amberly Vail to go on a reconnaissance mission to the underground depths of Gravalax's capital city to uncover the conspiracy, where they join forces with a Tau unit. Underground, they encounter a Genestealer Cult, confirming Vail's suspicions. Kelp, one of the convicted Guardsmen, attempts to kill Cain, but is killed by Jurgen. Another, Trebek, is killed after being shot in the chest by Genestealer cultists. Two of the convicted, Holenbi and Velade, are separated from the rest in an intense firefight. However, Jurgen is able to kill the leader of the Genestealer cultists, the Patriarch, throwing the remaining cultists into chaos, thus giving the group the chance to escape above-ground into Grice's palace. Grice shoots and kills Sorel, the last convicted Guardsman. He reveals himself as another Genestealer cultist and the assassin of the Tau diplomat, and engages the group in combat. Vail lands the killing blow, and the group is evacuated by the 597th. After the battle, a dazed Holenbi and Velade are retrieved by a search team with little memory of their time separated from Cain, but Cain summarily executes them both with his sidearm. He uses a knife to remove a Genestealer implant in Holenbi's body, with Vail explaining to a sickened Kasteen and Sulla that both had been infected by Genestealers, made obvious by their disappearance, disorientation and missing memory after combat against Genestealers. Kasteen orders their bodies incinerated. Cain and Vail observe Tau soldiers exhibiting the symptoms of Genestealer infection being led away. Soon after, the Tau mysteriously leave Gravalax behind, returning Gravalax to Imperial hands. Vail and Cain discuss the incident over a meal, where they discuss the ongoing extermination of local Genestealer cults; she also reveals Jurgen's nature as a psychic blank to Cain. The two toast to their friendship, and Vail promises to keep in touch with Cain. ===== Lucia is a young woman living in Amsterdam.

Unlike the fox, however, the Wutong is far less easy to exorcise. This allows him to forcibly impose himself upon women, with their parents and husbands unable to defend them. One night, Yan (), the wife of Wu pawnbroker Zhao Hong (), is raped by a Wutong spirit named "Fourth Master" (), who tells her that he will return in five days. Zhao learns of his wife's ordeal after returning home from work, but is both too afraid and ashamed to do anything. Fourth Master indeed returns on the fifth day, this time with two of his brothers. Yan is coerced into wining with the Wutong spirits; thereafter Fourth Master rapes her till she loses consciousness. After he leaves, Yan repeatedly tries to commit suicide by hanging but the rope keeps breaking. This goes on for some two or three months, putting a strain on Yan's marriage. One night, Zhao's brother Wan () decides to pay Zhao a visit, only to find a stranger in his sister-in- law's room. He immediately kills the stranger with a knife and discovers that he was a small horse spirit.

Once they see her face however, they assume she is a witch and attack her. To teach them a lesson, she curses them to transform into dwarfs whenever people look at them and they can only undo it if they receive a kiss from "the most beautiful woman in the world". A year later, the evil witch Regina takes over King White's kingdom after marrying him. Not long after, people begin disappearing, including the king. To maintain her youth, Regina creates a magic apple tree to create a pair of magic red shoes, but continuously fails. Meanwhile, King White's overweight but strong, kindly daughter, Snow White, returns to find him, only to find Regina's latest pair of shoes. They transform her into a thin princess, but Regina attacks her, unaware she is her stepdaughter. Snow flees on a flying broomstick and, following a message from her father, looks for the F7. Snow crash lands at the Seven's home, where they immediately become infatuated with her. After learning she likes them despite their appearances, they agree to help her find her father in the hopes of winning her heart. Later that night, Snow runs into the forest after seeing her father, but encounters a giant wooden bunny instead. The F7 save her and capture it, during which the triplets invent a giant wooden robot. Following advice from her Magic Mirror, Regina hires the selfish Prince Average to find "the woman with the red shoes". Snow and Arthur leave to distribute posters of King White while Merlin guards the bunny, though he befriends it and rides it to join them. Snow briefly takes the shoes off before Merlin uses his magic lightning cards to save her from Average's guards. After he fails to recognize her, she decides to keep the shoes on. When they return home, Average arrives with an army to force "Red Shoes" to be his date, but the F7 drive them off. All the while, Snow grows close to Merlin and attempts to show him her real self, but finds herself unable to remove the shoes. When Average and his henchmen return empty-handed, Regina transforms them into monstrous wooden bears. Snow and Merlin use the broomstick to make the triplets' robot fly so they can renew their efforts, but Merlin's daydreaming causes them to crash. While wandering by a river, Snow confesses her feelings for Merlin and they kiss. However, he is shocked to find it did not break his curse. Suddenly, Average and his henchmen attack. Merlin convinces Snow to not look at him so he can use his princely form to defeat the monsters, but Average grabs him and drags them both into the river. Snow jumps in to save Merlin, removing her shoes so she can use her strength to save him from underneath a boulder before three wooden bear cubs and the bunny come to help. Finally learning Snow's identity, Regina decides to find her herself. Snow reveals the truth about her father and Regina to Merlin and admits he and the others probably would not have helped if they knew. She and an ashamed Merlin part ways. Snow seemingly finds him later, but learns it is Regina, who captures her. Arriving too late to save her, Merlin sends the cubs to get the others while he and the bunny sneak into the castle. Regina tries to force Snow to eat a magic apple. When she refuses, Regina threatens to kill a captured Merlin. Snow complies and turns into a new apple tree. The Mirror taunts Merlin with Snow's impending death, but Merlin breaks free and tries to fight it off. Before the Mirror can kill him, the rest of the F7 and wooden animals save him before Jack destroys the Mirror. Merlin sacrifices himself to save Snow by using a lightning card to electrocute himself and Regina, causing the wooden animals to change back into King White and three human children. While Snow reunites with her father, everyone grieves over Merlin, who dies in Snow's arms. She gives him one last kiss, which breaks the curse and revives him. They accept each other's appearances and everyone celebrates. In the end credits, Snow and Merlin marry while the other princes find their own girlfriends.

Recognising her as Lady Xia, he eagerly jumps onto the lily which then floats away until it vanishes from sight. The author notes that both Jin and Zhao Hong lived in the Ming dynasty but it is unknown if Zhao's encounter with the Wutong spirits preceded that of Jin; if so, Lady Xia's maid would have had neutered the sole remaining Wutong spirit, ensuring that he could no longer harm women. ===== In Chennai, Shiva (Sathya), a jobless BE graduate, lives with his father Deena Dayalan (Nizhalgal Ravi) who is an assistant commissioner of police and his mother (Ambika).

In 1979, a film named Antrum—shot in English but of apparently Bulgarian origin—is submitted for inclusion in a variety of film festivals; none accept it. Shortly after each rejection, the various festival directors die under suspicious circumstances. Several years go by during which the film remains unseen until it mysteriously appears at a theater in Budapest in 1988. During the screening, a fire breaks out, burning the theater to the ground; initially believed to be the result of a faulty projector, investigators later determine that audience members set the fire themselves. The film again goes unseen for many years until it is screened in a theater in California in 1993. Prior to the film, a concession stands worker doses popcorn with LSD; the combination of the drug and the film results in a riot during which a pregnant woman is killed. Following this screening, all copies of the film apparently vanish, and it earns a reputation as being cursed. In 2018, a copy of Antrum surfaces, prompting a documentary crew to make a short film on its history and impact. Although the origins of the movie remain unknown, scientists and film experts who examine the 35 mm reel determine that, among other unique properties, the film utilizes disorienting sounds and subliminal imagery. The documentary crew further determines that unrelated, black-and-white snippets of an apparent snuff film have been spliced into the original movie by a third party. The documentary pauses so that Antrum may be presented in its entirety for the first time in twenty-five years. Antrum concerns siblings Oralee and Nathan, whose pet dog, Maxine, was recently euthanized. After Nathan asks if Maxine went to Heaven, their mother informs him that because she was a bad dog, Maxine has gone to Hell. Traumatized, Nathan begins experiencing disturbing dreams and visions of demons. In an effort to ease his mind, Oralee claims to have obtained a grimoire from an imaginary classmate named Ike whom she claims is versed in the occult. Using the book—in fact, a sketchbook Oralee has filled herself with arcane drawings and "spells"—she takes Nathan to a nearby forest locally renowned as a place for suicides, telling him that it is the place where Satan fell to Earth when he was cast out of Heaven and that if they can find the place where he landed, the pair can dig a hole to Hell and rescue Maxine. Oralee guides Nathan through a series of rituals and "rites," intending all along to arrange for Nathan to discover Maxine's collar in the woods as a "sign" they have saved her soul. As the day progresses, Oralee is disturbed to find that her "spells" are having an apparent effect on the real world, conjuring actual infernal figures. Additionally, the pair accidentally interrupt a man attempting seppuku, and obliviously pass by the rotting corpse of a suicide near their campsite. Their first night in the woods, Nathan slips out of the tent and sees a boat being rowed in a nearby stream by a figure resembling Charon, who ferries a nude woman. He likewise hears a rattling chain that he attributes to Cerberus. The next day, Nathan and Oralee stumble upon a pair of cannibals in the woods, who capture and cook people alive inside a giant, iron statue of Baphomet, including the man whose suicide attempt they earlier interrupted. When the cannibals become aware of their presence, Oralee attempts to take herself and Nathan to safety by abandoning their camp and rowing downriver in the boat Nathan saw the night before; the pair both end up falling into the water. Oralee and Nathan make it to shore, only to realize they have moved in a circle and are back at their camp. The cannibals capture them and attempt to cook Nathan, but Oralee escapes her cage and frees Nathan. As Nathan flees, Oralee obtains a gun and shoots the cannibals to death. In the woods, Nathan stumbles across a dog with its paw caught in a bear trap. Nathan frees the animal, taking it as a sign he has freed Maxine from Hell. A "The End" title card appears onscreen; the film abruptly resumes, following Oralee as she runs through the woods, pursued by demons, and experiencing violent hallucinations. She hides in the pair's tent, aiming her gun at the entrance. As Nathan approaches, a panicked Oralee open fires and the film ends. The documentary resumes shortly after this, with scholars observing a rune seen throughout the film belonging to a demon named Astaroth; examples of the rune appearing subliminally throughout the film are shown as historians recount tragedies attributed to the demon throughout history. ===== Polly, a star bareback rider in a circus, is injured during a performance.
