His only son François considers the whole set- up archaic and, while his father is on a business trip to the US, starts jazzing up the staid newspaper. On his return, the father is furious and decides to teach his son a lesson. He tells François that he can have the run- down sugar business, to manage as he pleases. Painfully lacking the necessary expertise, the young man launches into enthusiastic modernisation and expansion. It is rapidly brought home to him that he needs capital, which he will have to raise. When his father tells him he is on his own, he turns to their cousin Maublanc, a malicious playboy who for several reasons hates the Schoudlers. One immediate grievance is that he asked their newspaper to promote his latest mistress, an aspiring actress called Sylvaine, and was not only refused but Noël's devious assistant Lachaume (having just made Noël's niece pregnant) took over the young woman. Feigning helpfulness to François, Maublanc says he will arrange everything with his brokers, but in fact tells them to leak the news that the Schoudler empire has run out of capital. As this will depress the share price, his plan is to buy a controlling interest on the cheap. When the market price starts falling, François is in despair and Maublanc tells him that the only decent thing to do is to put a bullet through his head. Unfortunately, the impressionable young man does so. Noël then goes down to the stock exchange where, speaking to brokers, he reassures them that his businesses are sound. The share price soars and Maublanc's plot is foiled. ===== Christian Nielsen, a recovering alcoholic, returns home to Australia from the United States for the wedding of his father, Henry, to his much younger housekeeper, Anna.

The Puccios appear to be a typical middle-class family from the affluent district of San Isidro, with aspirations of moving up into upper class. The family comprises Arquímedes Puccio, the family patriarch; Epifanía Puccio, his wife; Alejandro, their eldest son and a star rugby player; Daniel "Maguila", their middle child, who'd left the country years ago and hadn't kept in touch; Silvia, their eldest daughter, a school teacher; Guillermo, their youngest son, who is still in high school; and Adriana, their youngest daughter, who is in middle school. At the end of the Falklands War in 1982, Arquímedes, who had been working for the state's intelligence services in operations to capture communist guerrilla fighters, becomes the owner of a small shop, a deli. In order to maintain his financial status, he decides to turn to crime and start kidnapping people for ransom, targeting wealthy families. Alejandro starts to collaborate with his father, by identifying potential hostages, taking advantage of his popularity among friends and acquaintances to not raise suspicion. The first victim is Ricardo Manoukian, a friend and teammate of Alejandro's. Though the kidnapping is successful, Arquímedes kills Ricardo anyway, to avoid any chances of being identified as the kidnapper. After discovering Ricardo has been killed, Alejandro has a bout of conscience, but his father convinces him to keep the secret by assuring him that if Ricardo had been left alive, he would have identified them as the culprits and gotten them all arrested. The ransom improves the Puccios' economic situation and, by early 1983, they replace their family deli with a successful store selling sporting equipment. Alejandro meets a girl called Monica at the store, and, after a few dates, she becomes his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Gustavo Contenpomi, a friend of Arquímedes' who is furious after being deceived in a business deal with entrepreneur Florencio Aulet, contacts the Puccios and suggests they make Florencio their next victim. Instead, Arquímedes and his cronies kidnap Florencio's son, Eduardo; since he is one of Alejandro's friends, and thus he's easier to lure into a trap. The Aulets pay the ransom, but Eduardo has already been murdered, and his body buried in a shallow grave, on an empty construction lot. In December 1983, after the return to democracy in Argentina, Arquímedes goes to visit imprisoned military officer Aníbal Gordon—who had participated with Puccio in the kidnapping of a businessman in 1973—and asks for advice on how to continue with the Clan's activities in the new political landscape. Gordon advises him to lie low, since the military will have more difficulty protecting him now that they've lost control of the country, but Arquímedes does not heed the warning. Alejandro accompanies his youngest brother, Guillermo, to the airport, since Guillermo is going abroad on a sports trip. At the gate, Guillermo confesses that he knows what Alejandro and their father had been up to, and says he will not be returning after the tour is over, since he is afraid of what will happen if the family's crimes are discovered. Before leaving, Guillermo begs his brother to get out while he still can. Listening to his brother's plea, Alejandro decides not to join his father in the next kidnapping: that of another businessman acquainted with the family, Emilio Naum. Due to Alejandro's absence, the plot fails, and Naum is murdered after refusing to stop his car when Arquímedes and his goons begin the abduction. Angered, Arquímedes returns home and beats Alejandro, blaming him for the failed kidnapping and accusing him of being ungrateful for all that Arquímedes sacrificed to get him a cushy lifestyle. To reconcile with his father, Alejandro travels abroad to convince his other brother, Maguila, to return to Argentina and join the Clan in their operations. Now, in 1985, the group kidnaps businesswoman Nélida Bollini Prado and keep her prisoner in their home's basement. However, things do not go according to plan: the ransom negotiations fail; Adriana hears the woman's screams coming from the basement and realizes what had been going on; and Arquímedes gets a call from his former military superiors warning him that his stunts have garnered too much public attention, so he no longer has their protection. In August 1985, when Arquímedes and Maguila collect the ransom in a service station, they are arrested by the police, who then break into the Puccio house, free the kidnapped victim, and arrest the family, with the exception of Adriana. The case causes a frenzy among the media, who dub the family the "Puccio Clan". The prosecuting attorney shows Arquímedes the overwhelming evidence against him and tries to broker a deal: if Arquímedes confesses to being the mastermind behind the kidnappings, his family will not be indicted as accomplices. Arquímedes, however, insists that he'd been compelled to carry out the crimes by his military superiors and refuses to sacrifice himself for his family. While his rugby team and Monica believe in his innocence, Alejandro cannot withstand the pressure. After violently arguing with his father in their jail cell (during which Arquímedes goads Alejandro to punch him, so Arquímedes can falsely claim the guards beat him), Alejandro tries to commit suicide by throwing himself off the fifth floor of the Tribunal building while he is being taken to testify. The film ends with a series of texts detailing the family's fate: *Alejandro survived his fall and was sentenced to life in prison. While serving his sentence, he tried to commit suicide four more times. Monica kept visiting him for years, until he asked her to stop doing so and instead move on with her life. Alejandro died [of pneumonia, aged 49] in 2008, a few months after being released on probation. *Maguila never served his sentence, since he fled the country - presumably to Australia, Brazil, or New Zealand - before he could be tried. In 2013, he returned to Argentina after the charges were dropped due to the statute of limitations. *Guillermo was never indicted for his family's crimes. He never returned to the country nor contacted his family, and his whereabouts are unknown. *Epifanía and Silvia were freed from prison for lack of evidence. [Silvia succumbed to cancer at 52 in 2011.] *Adriana was also never indicted and, after the trial began, her surname was changed, and she moved in with her maternal uncles. After many years, she returned to live with her mother [in the very house where the kidnapping victims had been held]. *Arquímedes was sentenced to life imprisonment but was eventually released on parole in 2008. During his imprisonment, he studied to become a lawyer, and started working as such after his release. His family never made contact with him after he regained his freedom. He died [from a stroke] in 2013, in La Pampa, and since his corpse was unclaimed, he was buried in an unmarked, communal grave. ===== Offered the home of her well-to-do friends the Standishes for her Florida honeymoon, newlywed Patricia Van Dyne is astonished when her husband Tony promptly robs the place.

A mishap involving the glass eye of Buster's assistant, elderly iguana Miss Crawly, applies two extra zeroes to the prize money, and the misprinted flyers are blown out the window into the street. Animals from across the city gather for auditions. Those selected include: housewife and mother of 25 piglets Rosita; punk-rock porcupine Ash; gorilla Johnny, son of mobster Big Daddy; street musician mouse Mike; singing and dancing frog trio Ricki, Howie, and Kai; and opera singer camel Pete. Teenage elephant Meena fails her audition from stage fright, while Ash's ill-tempered boyfriend Lance is dismissed from the contest. Rosita is paired with an exuberant pig named Gunter for a dance routine. Buster discovers the flyers advertise a prize of $100,000 – money he does not have – but remains optimistic. He arranges a visit with his friend Eddie's grandmother, former opera singer and stage actress Nana Noodleman, who is hesitant to sponsor the prize money but agrees to attend a private preview of the show. Pressured by her grandfather, Meena tries to ask Buster for another chance to perform, but becomes his stage hand instead. When the frog trio breaks up and quits and Pete is injured, Meena is added as an act (despite the fact that Buster hasn’t heard her sing). Rosita flounders in her dance routine with Gunter, distracted by her parenting duties that have fallen into disarray. After discovering Lance broke up with her for a new girlfriend, telling her that she was never around anymore, and evicting them from her apartment, Ash breaks down while singing her assigned song, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe."

The day of the preview, the Russian bears interrupt the show, demanding the money from Mike, who points to Buster. The bears open the prize chest, but there’s no prize money at all. The glass tank of luminescent squids lighting the stage breaks and floods the theater, which comes crashing down. Judith repossesses the lot and Buster, who had been living in his desk at the theater, takes up residence with Eddie at his parents' pool house. The contestants try to cheer him up, but Buster is too despondent to listen. He tries to start over by opening a car wash. When Meena goes to the rubble of the theater and sings Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Buster hears her and is inspired to reinstate the show without the prize money, performing on a makeshift stage on the lot for Rosita and Meena's families. Rosita and Gunter perform Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off", which finally prompts Rosita's husband, Norman, to pay attention to her singing talent. More animals are drawn to the scene as the show is broadcast on the news. Johnny's rendition of Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" impresses his father, who escapes from prison to reconcile with him and apologize. Despite an interruption by Judith, Ash sings her original rock song "Set It All Free," which her ex-boyfriend watches on TV and finally acknowledges Ash's talent. Mike returns to the show and sings Frank Sinatra's "My Way,” and Meena finally overcomes her fears and sings Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing", which literally brings down the house. The show is a success and impresses Nana, who was in the audience.

Dorothea, concerned that she cannot connect with her son, asks Julie and Abbie to help raise him. When Jamie learns about his mother's plan, he runs away to Los Angeles with his friends to attend a rock concert.

Moments later, an app on his mobile phone rings, signalling a strange woman who wants to have casual sex with him. Mitch goes to the woman's apartment and leaves JP to explain his sudden departure. During a later conversation, JP tries to convince Mitch to join a 12-step group, saying that his sex addiction is keeping him from developing a real relationship. Mitch responds with contempt.

The next day, Mitch is summoned by the editor of the newspaper for which he writes, and fired. His boss admits that though Mitch is the paper's best writer, firing his co- workers will cause a lawsuit, and that he was clear about Mitch not sleeping with interns. Returning home, Mitch's landlord threatens him with eviction unless he settles his overdue bill. After several failed interviews, Mitch approaches the editor of a magazine. She tells him that two other writers are already competing for the magazine's open position. Immediately thinking of Natalie, Mitch says that he has a great idea for a story and is willing to write it on speculation. Intrigued, the editor agrees.

Mitch is stunned to learn that Natalie also runs a side business and is a math tutor for grade-school children. After also meeting her roommate, Mitch asks Natalie how she got into being an escort. Natalie responds that she had a hard time making ends meet after Stanford and that when a pimp set $900 in front of her, she set her principles aside and did what he asked. She says, however, that she no longer has a pimp, because they take too much of her earnings. She agrees to let Mitch follow her around, apparently as her on-call bodyguard, so that Mitch can also write his story.

However, the leader sympathizes with Joe when he finds out about his current financial situation brought up by the bank. The robbers subsequently escape with over $1.6 million. When the company they worked for is bought out, their pensions become a casualty of the restructuring. Joe is hit particularly hard and finds out that he, his daughter, Rachel, and granddaughter, Brooklyn, will be homeless in less than thirty days. Willie finds out he's gravely ill from kidney failure and needs a transplant and is even more frustrated because his financial situation forces him into a long-distance relationship with his daughter and granddaughter. Desperate, the three friends decide to rob the bank that is going to restructure their pension funds and take back what is rightfully theirs. Inspired by his experience of the robbery, Joe originates the idea; at first Albert and Willie are appalled, but eventually agree when they later learn that their bank intends to steal their pensions.

K. Simmons), who years ago drove out a pack of gangster grey wolves, led by the villainous Linnux (Lewis Black). Khampa has some local sheep disguised as Mastiffs to give the illusion the village has multiple guards to keep the wolves at bay, but Bodi has trouble perfecting his father's signature move the Iron Paw, which projects a powerful blast that can only happen if Bodi "finds the fire." Khampa has forbidden music in the village as it distracted Bodi from his duties when he was younger. After a disastrous training session, Bodi indirectly causes a nearby flying plane to drop a package. Among the items, Bodi becomes interested in a radio and listens to rock music, becoming entranced with British rock legend Angus Scattergood (Eddie Izzard). Bodi steals a traditional dramyin from a den of locked up instruments, adds additional strings to make it a conventional Western guitar, and neglects his duties in favor of becoming a musician, putting him at odds with his father. After Khampa and some of the guard sheep accidentally cause Bodi to unleash a false alarm on the village while dressed as wolves (in an attempt to scare him straight), village elder Fleetwood Yak (Sam Elliott) convinces Khampa to let Bodi follow his dream. Bodi is given a bus ticket to a nearby city, but Khampa makes him promise to give up music if his trip doesn't work out. At the bus station, Bodi is discovered by two of Linnux's henchman, Riff (Kenan Thompson) and Skozz, and he orders them to kidnap Bodi, reasoning it is his chance to take over Snow Mountain. Bodi arrives at the city, and heads to Rock and Roll Park as it is where Scattergood began his career. He attempts to join a band consisting of the down-to-earth fox Darma (Mae Whitman) and absent-minded goat drummer Germur (Jorge Garcia). However, Bodi is humiliated after losing a guitar contest to arrogant snow leopard Trey (Matt Dillon), amused by Bodi's naivety. Trey, discovering his idolization for Scattergood, manipulates Bodi into convincing Scattergood to give him some guitar lessons at his mansion, though he knows a little secret about Angus' security set-up. At Scattergood's mansion, he is revealed to be a white Persian cat who wears black sunglasses all the time and has a serious case of writer's block, with his only companion being his robot butler Ozzie. Angus' manager, Ian, gives him three days to create a new song. When Bodi tries to meet Scattergood, he is put off by Bodi's fanboy attitude and tries to evade him. Eventually, Bodi and Scattergood get lost in a back alley and Bodi decides to play music at Rock and Roll Park to get money for Scattergood to return to his mansion. However, Riff and Skozz mistakenly kidnap Scattergood after they see Bodi at the park. After Riff and Skozz realize their error, Linnux angrily sends them to find Bodi again and they drop Scattergood off at his home. Scattergood believes his career is over since he has less than a day to write a new song, when he hears Bodi playing on his guitar and invites him into his home with the facade of a "guitar lesson", creating a new song called "Glorious". Bodi later realizes that he was used after hearing Scattergood take full credit for the song on a radio. Trey mocks Bodi and everyone in the park leaves. Soon after, Bodi is captured by Linnux's henchmen via tranquilizer darts, and under their effects he reveals the fake Mastiff guards when Linnux interrogates him. Linnux and his gang head to Snow Mountain while Bodi is put into a boxing match at Linnux's Fight Palace, but Bodi cleverly has his opponent break the cage surrounding them so he can escape. Scattergood, guilt-tripped by Ozzie for exploiting Bodi, uses his old tour bus to find him. At Rock and Roll Park, Scattergood meets with Darma and Germur and discover Bodi's capture when they see his dart-covered guitar. Scattergood forgoes sending in his new song to rescue Bodi. Meeting Bodi outside of Linnux's hideout, Scattergood makes amends by giving his old acoustic guitar with his autograph as a sign of gratitude and takes him to Snow Mountain to stop Linnux and his henchmen. Linnux and his gang overpower Khampa and the whole village and attempt to devour the villagers, but Bodi appears. After a climactic chase, Bodi subdues the wolves by "finding the fire" by playing Scattergood's guitar and making the wolves, the villagers, and his friends levitate. Khampa banishes Linnux with his Iron Paw and accepts Bodi's ambition to play rock music. At the city, Scattergood gives full credit of "Glorious" to Bodi. Bodi forms a band with Darma and Germur as they (including Scattergood, Fleetwood, and the sheeps) sing and play "Glorious" to the city, the Snow Mountain villagers, Khampa, and most of the redeemed wolves (including Riff and Skozz) at Linnux's old Fight Palace. Outside, Trey tries to convince a bear bouncer that he's a part of the band, but is rejected. Scattergood recommends Bodi's band to Ian as Bodi shows the audience his blue energy wave. ===== After the fall of the Mallory regime on the distant moon Avalon, disgraced reporter Croger Babbs travels there hoping to find redemption by writing the truth behind the rise of the deceased dictator, Arthur McBride.

The police suspects and tortures two seminary students. What follows is a nonlinear, fragmented, cinematic collection of images that travel back and forth in time, in fine detail at times and just a suggestive glance at other times, thus assisting and obfuscating the viewer in this engagement with the film. Parental compulsion earlier forces the protagonist - one of the two suspects - to the seminary. In the seminary, while in the pursuit of the path of St. Francis of Assisi, the anxiety, challenges, conflict and the torment that accompany the process of growing up into an adult, transforms him into a vengeful man. He leaves the seminary and starts on a journey of self-discovery in which he travels far and wide, most often into the deep jungles. Spirituality, retribution and unexpected encounters with nature form the philosophical backdrop of the film. We find the protagonist in physical intimacy with his co-accused seminary student in the past and with a co- traveller on a one night stand by payment while on his current travels. We find the tormented co-accused jumping off a cliff into the sea, committing suicide, within the range of his sight. And the co-traveller now tells him her motive is to use the money she collected thus, as dowry to wed her lover. We find his co-accused and him cleaning the dead body of the senior priest - we had earlier been shown that he was interested in the lady choir singer and the senior priest walks by them clearing his throat and later tries to talk him out of the interest telling that lust is just mind trying to reach out to heights and not to follow it. As he listens to this advice we find him clearing the cemetery with the energy of one who is unable to bear the weakness of the flesh and mentions the same to the priest. Later when police first asks him why he was always at the cemetery and he answers that he used to keep the area clean. Then the senior priest requested the police for conversation in private, the police asks them to leave, and from the window as he's leaving, we find him overhearing the priest talking to the policemen. We have our own doubt what the priest would have told the policemen and if the priests death was not natural after all. Coming back to present times, we see the protagonist reading the newspaper where the real culprits of necrophilia have been caught by the police - this is when the viewer becomes assured of his innocence in the crime. We find him as an adolescent who encounters adulteries real or imagined in his own home. We discover his discomfort with his father's intentions and relation with his sister. He finds his mother having physical relation with another man - they discover him watching from terrace. Later we find that she has hanged herself one day when he returns from school. We find him now buying a gun and then starting on his travel far and wide among hills and jungles in search of something. He mentions it to one of men he met in his journey who was sculpting 'Jesus in his eighties at Kashmir' and asking them why he wanted to skill, that he needs to put an end to things that goes against nature. We find many motifs with central theme of unnatural love in his path. We find in the eyes of one of the men who passes by enquiring about who he was, the low esteem people have about someone - looks like his father. Towards the end he discovers his father and sister living in a small hut in the remote hills where he stalks his father while they are harvesting honey but finds him come face to face. His father acknowledges the trouble he took to track them down, offering a fruit to him asking him to get fresh in the stream in the valley and eat the fruit. Later in the hut at night, his father tells him that all relationships are complicated and are pure only if viewed without any judgemental attitude. Later in the day he again approaches them to kill them and after his mind imagines a changed unnatural relation with his sister when he sees her from far bathing in a lake, he is tormented and digs his palms into the thorns and later throws the knife into the lake in front of his father eyes. We find the father looking after the receding form of his son with a hint of amusement in his eyes. We find the protagonist running away from it all, downhill, stumbling & tumbling over & getting hurt & rolling down. ===== Elizabeth Fletcher reflects on her lonely life on her birthday.

It states, "A poor widow who supports her two children, one a baby and the other girl of six, by scrubbing, weakens under her hard work, and finally dies. Marie, the 'little mother,' anxious that her home may not be broken up, calls on one of her mother's employers and requests that she be given a chance to take the dead woman's place. The artist, a wealthy, good-hearted man, pleased with the child's pluck, laughingly employs her, and makes her believe that she is really doing all the 'chores.' The artist's kindness, much to his surprise, brings him recompense one . One of his models plots to fleece him. She calls at his studio, faints in his arms, and when her confederate rushes in with a policeman, she makes charges that lead to the arrest of the innocent artist. Just as the policeman is leading her benefactor away, the little scrub woman sees what is happening. She follows the party to the police station, but is afraid to enter. When the complainant and her husband come out, the child is impressed with the fact that they seem to be on the best of terms. Her suspicions are aroused, and she shadows them like a regular detective. What crook would ever imagine that a little girl, wheeling a baby carriage, was a sleuth? This pair certainly did not, for when they meet a new friend in the park, they stop to tell him how they successfully arranged to trim a rich artist, never doubting that he would pay liberally to have the case dropped. The little girl, from her place in hiding, heard the story. So the little girl found a policeman, and told him about it. And the policeman went with her to the hiding place, and heard enough to warrant him in making what he afterward described as a 'two handed collar.' The adventurous and her confederate were hailed to the police station and locked up, while the artist was set free in a hurry. The result is that there is now a 'scrub woman' whose duties are a sinecure although the wages are high, and the future of the 'little mother' and her baby are assured." ===== Kia (Kareena Kapoor) is a motivated, driven woman who aims to become successful in the business world, and also wishes that more women aspire to prosper in their careers.

Kia rises quickly in her career, and she is soon interviewed about her success. During the interview, Kia mentions her 'unusual' marriage and her husband's role in their household. The interviewer is impressed by this, and requests a meeting with Kabir. While being questioned, Kabir explains that it does not matter if ki (feminine) takes up the role of ka (masculine), and ka takes up the role of ki. The interview is very well received and Kabir is asked to hold many more seminars and speeches on Gender Equality and modern marriages. Kabir's busy schedule causes a strain in the marriage, causing Kia to become jealous of her husband's new found fame. She accuses Kabir of using their relationship to get recognition and publicity, and asks him to stop making public appearances. While Kia is in the US, attending a work event, Kabir is invited to his college reunion, and is pressured by a friend into giving another interview, which is broadcast on TV. Film actress Jaya Bachchan sees this interview, and asks her husband, superstar Amitabh Bachchan to call Kabir and organise a meeting with him.

Although Bridget tries to stay incognito, Jack recognises her and asks her why she left after their night together. She apologises and decides to tell him that she is pregnant and that he is the father, without mentioning Mark. Initially taken aback at the responsibility of having a child with a stranger, Jack throws himself into the role of being a father.

Janitor receives an investigatory letter saying that his former connection to a local sperm bank indicates that he may possibly be Baby’s father. Janitor sees this as his door back into Claire’s life...for revenge. Teacher comes to speak with janitor...the only man who responded to an investigatory letter she sent to every man on the list of people connected to the local sperm bank, and offers him a job as a school janitor so that he will be employed, to improve his standing to be able to take custody of Baby away from Claire. Teacher tells janitor that his standing would be better if he were married. Baby sits on a new peach couch as Theresa, Nathan and Claire get ready for a birthday party for Baby. Teacher arrives for the birthday party and to inspect whether her required changes to the apartment have been made, meets Theresa, and Nathan, and also sees and sits on the new couch. Baby opens presents and janitor knocks on the door and is let in. Claire says he is not invited, but teacher explains he is there with her...that they have married each other. Janitor explains that he intends to try to take custody of Baby. Claire angrily exclaims that her apartment is clean and she is engaged to a godfearing man in Nathan and that she is a suitable parent for Baby. Janitor proclaims to everybody there that until recently, he had had a sexual relationship with Claire. Nathan is appalled and angry to learn this fact which Claire had never told him before. A stripper shows up to the party, instead of what was understood to be a clown. She is an older woman, overly made up, chewing gum, and does a fairly graceless raunchy dance inappropriate for a child’s party. Nathan and teacher are appalled. Janitor is impressed. Theresa and Claire find it all fairly entertaining. Teacher shuts it down when the stripper flashes her breasts. Claire announces cake will be served in the kitchen. Janitor and teacher grab Baby and run down the stairs to flee the building with her. Claire pursues them, while Nathan pursues her, calling her a “whore”, and the stripper pursues Nathan asking if he is looking for a “whore”, and they all land in a pile in the lobby. Claire announces she will decide herself which man on the list will be considered Baby’s father. She selects Harlan, her long lost lover. Teacher says that Harlan died in an earthquake. Claire explains his body was never found. Theresa comes down the stairs and removes her wig and reveals herself to be the former Harlan. Claire asks Theresa if they could be married as wife and wife. Theresa agrees. Janitor and teacher leave angrily without Baby. Nathan and the stripper walk away together, Nathan smiling dreamily into her eyes, his hand cupping and kneading her butt. Theresa, Claire and Baby watch TV together and look forward to their wedding. Theresa leaves the apartment. Claire gives one last birthday present to Baby: pom-poms. We see a mother consoling a daughter in the future; that daughter’s grandmothers arrive...older Claire and Theresa, there to console their grand-daughter about her father having committed suicide by gun. Flash back to Baby cheering with her pom-poms and jumping happily onto Claire whose heart is full of happiness. ===== A musical mystery about a young couple's attempt to solve a mysterious murder that occurred at their house. ===== The series spans the years 1547 to 1661, shadowing the European wars of religion of the 16th and 17th centuries. In the first novel, veteran soldiers Jean de Siorac and Jean de Sauveterre settle into Château Mespech in Périgord, a beautiful but dangerous region of France far from the influence of the king. Staunch royalists but also devoted Huguenots, the men assemble a loyal community around them, but are challenged as religious unrest, poverty and famine threaten their way of life and push the country into chaos. Siorac's son Pierre narrates the first six novels, and Pierre's own son Pierre-Emmanuel narrates the remaining seven volumes. The men meet many notable people and witness various historical events, including the marriage of Henry, King of Navarre to Margaret of France, the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, and the assassination of Henry III of France. ===== After racketeer Chink Moran is drafted by the Army, his second-in-command Rickey Dean decides that the gang is no longer relevant and shuts things down. He and his pal Louie Lanzer leave NY to travel the country and decide what to do next. Their speeding car is stopped outside a tiny Connecticut village, and they're brought up before Judge Paradise and his beautiful clerk Virginia, who naturally arouses Rickey's interest. They're fined what they deem to be an inordinate amount, and not having the cash on them, accept jail time until their attorney can wire the money to bail them out. The judge explains to Rickey that the town has been bankrupt since the local factory shut down. But because it's unincorporated, it's free to raise revenue through huge fines. This gives Rickey a brainstorm and he actually purchases the town, intending to turn it into a haven where fugitives can hide out safely in jail by simply refusing to pay the fines. He recruits some of his old gang members for civic positions like police and fire chiefs (the latter position filled by, of course, an arsonist). Louie meanwhile finds himself a potential girl friend in the person of their landlady Henriette, who turns out to be a gangster groupie and wants to be his "mole" (mispronouncing "moll"). Virginia appeals to Rickey to do something worthwhile, like reopen the factory and upgrade the town's facilities. Swayed by her charms, he begins investing in the town and helping to modernize it. But then Chink is released from the Army; he arrives in town and decides to deal himself in, but his ideas for illegal activities clash with the now-converted Rickey's plans. Things escalate toward an inevitable showdown, with Louie the linchpin in their battle for the town's future. ===== The film is described as "semi-factual, semi-fictional". Variety's reviewer, Andrew Barker, noted that the film is "about a character who happens to share a name and a significant number of biographical similarities with Chet Baker, taking the legendary West Coast jazz musician's life as though it were merely a chord chart from which to launch an improvised set of new melodies". Set largely in 1966, Baker (portrayed by Ethan Hawke) is hired to play himself in a movie about his earlier years when he first tried heroin. He romances actress Jane Azuka (a fictional character, a composite of several of Baker's women in real life, portrayed here by Carmen Ejogo) but on their first date, Baker is attacked by thugs and his front teeth smashed. As Baker recovers from his injury, his embouchure is ruined and he is unable to play trumpet any better than a novice. Meanwhile, he must answer to a probation officer, and ensure he is employed, while sticking to his regimen of methadone treatment. ===== In 1830. Merthyr Tydfil is the largest town in Wales; an industrial centre and one of the Top Towns, with four major iron works. People from all parts of the world flock to find work there; from Spain and Italy, from England, and from Ireland. Men and Women work alongside each other, doing equally heavy and dangerous jobs, frequently dying at the workplace. Gideon Davies is a former worker at Taibach copper works and a trained musician. After losing nearly all his sight in an accident at the works, he is now an itinerant musician, playing his fiddle at taverns, wakes and social gatherings throughout South Wales. He also uses his travels to promote the concept of unions and worker's rights. Various other characters are also travelling to Merthyr, attracted by the coal and iron industries. They include the genteel Miss Thrush the Sweets who has sold her shop in Pontypridd, and is secretly enamoured of Gideon, even though she only sees him about once a year. Annie Hewers and Megsie Lloyd are lusty young girls out for adventure, Many Irish navvies have also arrived, including Big Bonce, Belcher and Lady Godiva. Travelling through Maesteg towards Pontypridd, Gideon comes upon Sun Heron, a fiery young two-fisted Irish girl who attempts to steals his meagre food, claiming to be starving. She later latches onto Gideon as he travels the roads, and will not be sent away. Gideon and Sun are ambushed by the 'Cefn Riders', semi-feral itinerant labourers and highwaymen, but are rescued by Dic Lewis, known as Dic Penderyn. Together they travel to Merthyr where Sun lodges with Dic's Parents in 'China', a semi-slum riverside area of town. Dic works at the blast furnaces of Ynysfach iron works. He starts going with Sun, who has decided she wants to marry him, but Dic is cautious, preferring the freedom to chase various girls, including the molls who gather at the Iron Bridge. Dic attends a benefit club meeting with Zimmerman, a firebrand Polish agitator, and Gideon, which discusses union matters, matters which must be kept secret from the ironmasters who effectively rule Merthyr. The meeting is addressed by Gideon and also by Morfydd Mortymer, an eloquent (and comely) speaker from Blaenavon. He meets Lewis Lewis, known as Lewsyn yr Heliwr. They discuss the abuses of the hated Court of Requests, known as 'Coffin's Court' after Joseph Coffin who operates it. The court can, and frequently does, seize goods in lieu of unpaid rent or debt, and auction off the goods after a month. Dic and Sun marry and move into a cottage near the works. Winter comes and the iron trade contracts; the owners reduce wages and many people starve or freeze to death. Dic initially still earns good money whilst Sun cleans and cooks for Gideon. Dic and his friends attend chapel, where his brother-in-law Rev Morgan Howells rails against the unions. Gideon stands to argue against the minister and others support him. The would-be unionists stand and leave the chapel. Within a few days, Dic and his friends lose their jobs. As 1831 dawns, Sun gives birth to a boy, Richard Jay, after a difficult pregnancy. Their furniture is seized for debt by Coffin's court. Gideon and Zimmerman address a mass meeting after the annual Waun fair near Dowlais Top. Gideon argues for restraint and parliamentary reform as the way forward, but Zimmerman urges violence as their only option. The men are angry and determine to tear down Coffin's Court. They march to the Court and reclaim confiscated furniture. They destroy the records of the seizures and burn the building. The men are joined by others from outlying districts; even Dr William Price arrives in his goat cart, decked out in his druidic robes. The men march on the town. The ironmasters, Guest and Crawshay, and magistrate Bruce, are barricaded in the Castle Inn by newly arrived soldiers. Zimmerman has vanished and is never seen again. Dic, at Sun's pleading and the urging of Morgan Howells, goes up onto Aberdare mountain to be safe from the violence, although he feels a strong loyalty to his mates. Matters get out of hand, after a deputation led by Gideon and Lewis Lewis meets the owners, with no result. The Riot Act is read in English and Welsh. Soldiers start shooting and open fighting occurs. 22 of the rioters are killed and many are wounded. Gideon is one of the first to fall, but he is rescued by Miss Thrush, who hides him from special constables who are searching from house to house. After several unsuccessful attempts at parley with the ironmasters, and the arrival of more soldiers, most of the men and women, who have been marching under a Red Flag, lose heart and start to disperse. Lewis Lewis is arrested. Special constables hold Sun captive in her house until Dic arrives back from Aberdare mountain. He is taken, despite a fierce fight, and charged with stabbing a soldier, Private Donald Black. Lewis and Dic are tried and condemned to death, although the sentence of the former is later commuted to transportation to Australia. (The trials are not described in the novel, but discussed through the mouths of other characters and mentioned in the appendix to the novel). Gideon searches for evidence that Dic was not the man who stabbed Black, but in vain. On the day that Dic is to be hanged in Cardiff, large crowds come to witness the execution, most believing him to be innocent. Dic is comforted in prison by Howells, Rev Evan Evans, the prison chaplain and Joseph Tregelles Price, a Quaker ironmaster who is convinced of his innocence and has prepared many petitions to the Government on Dic's behalf. Dic swears that he is innocent of stabbing Black. He states that he was in fact present at the meeting with the owners at the Castle Inn, but left by the back door, not the front as was alleged, and did not attack Black. As he is about to be hanged, he declares; "O Arglwydd, dyma gamwedd" ("Oh Lord, here is iniquity") Crowds carry his body to its final resting place near Port Talbot. Gideon has partially recovered his sight, as a result of a musket blow. He resumes his itinerant lifestyle, to the disappointment of Miss Thrush who still secretly loves him. Sun, who has been evicted from her cottage, is taken into the care of Morgan Howells. The book concludes with an appendix of documents, some not previously known to exist, discovered by the author whilst researching the book. They strongly suggest that Dic did not stab Private Black, who was unable to identify him. In 1874, Ianto Parker confesses on his death bed, in the United States, to the Reverend Evan Evans that he stabbed Black and then fled to America fearing capture by the authorities. This has been seen as exonerating Dic from any guilt. James Abbott, who testified against Penderyn at the trial, also later admitted to lying under oath. The novel earlier describes Abbot, a barber, insulting Sun and thus getting into a brawl with Dic, for which Abbott vows revenge. ===== As Barney Bear arrives at Jellystone National Park for a picnic, he is spotted by a resident wild bear. The bear quickly removes and buries all the "Do Not Feed The Bears" signs and proceeds to lay out a welcoming area for the unsuspecting Barney. As soon as Barney settles down to eat his stash, the wild bear keeps on stealing the food before Barney even has a chance to bite into it. Barney tries his best to rid himself of the hungry bear, including driving to the top of a giant tree, feeding the bear dynamite, and throwing him off a cliff, chained inside a telephone booth. But the peckish pest outwits Barney every time and continues to gobble up his food. Frustrated, Barney eventually gives up and decides to just hand over his last sandwich to the hungry bear. Strangely, the bear refuses to accept it, and instead proceeds to put up the "Do Not Feed The Bears" signs he had previously buried. He then whistles loudly on a whistle, summoning the "U.S. Rangers Anti-Bear Feeding Patrol", who arrive swiftly and arrest Barney, imprisoning him in their armored truck. Finally Barney, inside the armored truck, takes out a lollipop from his coat, but before he can lick it, it is snatched from him by none other than the hungry bear who turns out to be the driver of the armored truck. ===== Four teenagers, Scott, David, Carlo, and Tyler, accidentally murder a younger boy while shooting off assault weapons recreationally, and make perilous decisions in the aftermath of the murder. In a moment of desperation, paranoia, and fear that their lives are over, the four teenagers struggle to find a way out. They drunkenly construct a plan reminiscent of a video-game plot. Later, Scott shoots and kills Tyler at a school dance, but is shot and bleeds to death. Police surround the remaining two and Carlo commits suicide. The police think David is reaching for a gun and kill him, only for it to be revealed David was reaching for an inhaler. ===== A group of friends are having a party at the beach with some of their classmates. A girl named Heather is videoing the party, when two of the boys, Vance and Gilbert (Cleo Berry), find a large ball covered in a strange gooey substance. All the teenagers agree to put their mobile phones in the trunk of a car in an effort to ensure that no one will post compromising pictures or videos online. The next morning two of the friends, Kaylee and Mitch wake up on the lifeguard shack. Kaylee's boyfriend, Jonah, awakens in a nearby convertible next to a girl named Chanda. In the back seat are Vance and his girlfriend, Ronnie. Gilbert wakes up, stuck from the waist down in a trash barrel, having been put there as a prank after passing out. A girl named Marsha wakes up, topless, having fallen asleep on top of a picnic table. The rest of the teenagers, including Heather, are nowhere to be found; there are, instead, a bunch of empty sleeping bags in their places. Marsha accuses Heather of having stolen her top; she leaves the picnic table to find her. Kaylee, having witnessed a bird getting sucked into the sand tries to warn her, but Marsha doesn't listen. She is immediately immobilized by something hidden underneath the sand. Vance attempts to help her, but he falls and has his face ripped off when he touches the sand. Vance and Marsha are swallowed by the creature, as their bodies sink into the sand, much to the horror of their friends. Jonah sees the cracked ball from the night before and concludes that it must have been an egg, and whatever hatched from it has burrowed under the sand and has wiped out everyone, including Vance, Heather, and Marsha. The group cannot call for help, as their phones are locked in the trunk of the car, and the car's battery is dead from their having left the headlights on all night. Mitch and Kaylee find hot dogs in the lifeguard shack and toss them at different ends of the beach to find out the extent of the creature under the sand. Thus they find the edge of it but realize the distance is too great. Jonah uses two surfboards as a bridge to reach the picnic table. He makes it to the table, but not before the creature has slashed his stomach, leaving a painful wound that starts to seep pus. He notes to the others, though, that the creature won't go near the ashes of the previous night's bonfire, indicating that it hates fire. The sun beats down. Ronnie and Chanda attempt to retrieve the phones from the trunk of the car, but Ronnie becomes trapped, her fingers crushed under the rim of the trunk. A beach patrolman drives onto the beach. The group warns him, then are shocked to see him get out of his car and walk across the sand unharmed. Mitch realizes that the man's boots are protecting him. The patrolman, seeing Jonah's and Ronnie's injuries and Gilbert stuck in the trash barrel, assumes the group is on drugs and taunts them. But the patrolman drops his keys in the sand, and when he reaches to pick them up, his hand is captured. He uses his pepper spray, which temporarily saves him, but in the process, his lower arm has been consumed; the shock causes him to fall, and he is sucked into the sand. Kaylee, however, manages to retrieve his pepper spray. The pepper spray gives Mitch an idea: he thinks he can get to the truck by putting his flip-flops on and wrapping his feet with towels soaked in pepper spray. Chanda throws him a towel from the car, but when Mitch attempts to catch the second towel the banister breaks and he falls to the sand and the sand creature pulls out his guts, therefore killing him and he is sucked into the sand with just a bloody spot left on the sand. Kaylee, after a brief moment of sadness, takes charge. She frees Ronnie's fingers from the car trunk, then has Chanda take the broken pieces of the boardwalk and use them as a bridge to get to Jonah on the picnic table. Meanwhile, Gilbert discovers that he has cut his stomach on the edge of the trash barrel during his attempts to escape, alerting the creature. Kaylee and Ronnie each make their way across the makeshift bridge to Chanda and Jonah. At the last step, Ronnie trips and, despite Kaylee's efforts with the pepper spray, she dies and sucked into the sand by the creature. Chanda, in desperation, follows through with Mitch's plan and runs across the sand to the truck with pepper-sprayed towels wrapping her feet. The group celebrates for a brief moment as she succeeds. But just then, Gilbert is attacked by the creature, and sucked down through the bottom of the barrel and is killed. The creature, having grown much larger tentacles, bangs against the patrol car, knocking Chanda unconscious. At nightfall, Chanda wakes up and recuperates. She gets to the back of the truck and finds a self-inflatable raft. Chanda inflates the raft, and Kaylee and Jonah use it to reach the patrolman's car. However, the ground erupts, knocking Kaylee out of the open door and onto the raft. A huge glowing tentacle shoots out from the ground and assaults her. She manages to get on top of the car and, finding two gas cans on the rear rack, uses them to set one of the large tentacles on fire. Kaylee, Chanda, and Jonah lock themselves in the car as the creature's tentacles flail and bash at them. Eventually, the attacks stop; in the silence, Kaylee and Chanda see that Jonah has died from his injuries. The two girls fall asleep huddled together. In the morning, the girls are awakened by a man, who taps on the glass and asks them if they are alright. Kaylee and Chanda note, incredulously, that the creature is gone. They walk across the sand together, traumatized, as the man calls for an ambulance. In a closing shot, the creature revealed as an enormous jellyfish, is seen under the water, headed towards Santa Monica Pier. ===== The story begins in medias res with Tucker being arrested while in costume, and then the bulk of the rest of the story is told as a buildup to that event. Tucker Ostrowski recently graduated from a college in central Florida with an Associate of Arts degree, and is accepted to California Institute of the Arts, as he wants to go into music creation, animation, or theme park design. However, his parents recently filed for personal bankruptcy, so he cannot count on their money to pay for tuition. So, he needs to get a job to pay his own way, but has a criminal record because of a charge of vandalism in his teenage years. He just has to do community service, and expect it to be expunged from his record in two months, but the big parks in the area all do background checks. He looks into other jobs without success before finding that the amusement park Old Time Fun Town is hiring. He goes to the theme park and is accepted on the spot from Mr. Lloyd, the hiring manager, with literally no questions asked, and Tucker isn't even sure what job he has accepted at first. He finds he has accepted a job as a theme park mascot, Hoppy the Kangaroo, and immediately meets two-week-long veteran Jerry, a former high school mascot performer, who is working as Cap'n Jack's Parrot. Given the low budget nature of the park, Tucker is sent out to interact with the patrons immediately. With no training, he finds he has to learn the job as he goes, but finds that he is enjoying the work regardless. At lunchtime, Tucker meets Stu, who performs as Paws the Polar Bear. Tucker, Stu, and Jerry discuss park operations. The park general manager, Benjamin Fletcher, is a vaguely shady but oddly affable manager who knows all the employees by name. It's also well-known that he plays poker with some "notorious types" but Tucker is grateful for the job and thinks nothing of it. The second day on the job, before starting work, Jerry and Tucker watch news but ignore mention of a string of daring daylight robberies where the perpetrators are "elaborately disguised." Jerry has to go off to advertise for the park before it opens and relieve Sam, who comes to the break room dressed as Billy the Bulldog. Tucker helps Sam get out of costume and is surprised to learn that Sam is short for Samantha, not Samuel as he assumed. Sam works part time at the park, and her other job is working at the Haven House. Mr. Fletcher wants to address the entire staff. He informs the park staff that when he joined park management the previous summer, he promised to increase attendance and profits by offering quality games, rides, food, and merchandise. The end result was that the park had about the same attendance as the year before. He hopes to get attendance and profits up through entertainment. The park was successful when Hoppy was first introduced 15 years before, but the original performer died 12 years ago and the character was retired, and there were no costumed performers in the park since. Fletcher says that he plans to boost attendance by reintroducing Hoppy and several other costumed performers. He then reveals that in addition to the four characters based on off-the-shelf costumes purchased from MaskUS, Inc., he has had the in-house art director Don Cluff design a large custom-made "Toby Slick" blue whale costume to support their marketing push. However, the costume proves too large and unwieldy for the current four performers, so Benjamin Fletcher pulls in a favor and gets Franklin Jefferson Washington to wear the costume. He was a professional basketball player that got injured, then became the team's mascot, then was poached by Disney to play one of their tall characters, and then retired from that to start his own delivery business, likely selling drugs. The new character is a big hit with crowds and a huge draw. A few days later at Old Time Fun Town, the park employees practice for a Fourth of July parade. When it comes to the actual parade, it is extremely lackluster and takes less than a minute to pass. After a hard day at work, Sam suggests that Tucker visit her at her other job at the Haven House and get a new perspective on the job. He finds that the house is a haven for retired people with various health and mental problems who cannot live independently. One of the people at the home is Lyle, a reclusive old man. Tucker is left alone with him and in attempting to strike up a conversation, he explains that he costumes as a kangaroo. Lyle explains that he was "attacked by a kangaroo two nights ago" who came up to him while he was at an ATM and robbed him of $400. A few days later at the Haven House, Tucker shows Sam several rough animations he has made. Sam tells Tucker she got accepted into an adult-gerontological nurse practitioner program in Los Angeles. Tucker still wants to go to California Institute of the Arts, but is still extremely far from that goal financially. He explains why he wants to go there, and excitedly explains his plans. Sam points out that the seniors at Haven House never feel the sort of joy most people feel at an amusement park anymore, as their health problems severely limit their mobility. Soon after, back at work Tucker learns Sam is spending a week in California to tour the campus. Stu is going to a cosplay convention over the weekend, leaving just Tucker and Jerry to cover the park schedule. Tucker has to cover for Stu for an offsite event at a private party that specifically requested the bird and polar bear costumes. Tucker is wary of covering for him, as Stu is known to be the sweatiest of the group, and Paws the Polar Bear reeks even after intense cleaning, and Tucker won't have time to even attempt to clean it. Tucker and Jerry arrive at the party and are told that all they have to do are greet the guests. They both learn that it's actually a furry party, and after they are done greeting guests, check around back to see what goes on at that sort of party. They are surprised to find it is a very tame and normal party. Back in the car, they see a police car speeding past, and checking the radio and find that the sixth in a string of robberies occurred, with this one being a bank heist. In Tucker's free time, Tucker has started a personal project of creating entertainment for the seniors at the Haven House, despite his parents having pawned or sold almost all their tools. Tucker buys new power tools, but as his parents’ financial situation becomes even more dire, his parents lose electricity, leaving him to attempt work by himself with hand tools. Tucker lets Jerry in on his plan, and he suggests getting help from the landscaping crew. They agree to help, and suggest using a large variety of construction supplies and old props that Old Time Fun Town has had in storage for decades. Tucker and Jerry also find the original head of Hoppy, and backup costumes for the rest of the characters, including Paws the Polar Bear. When Sam returns from her trip and goes to the Haven House, Tucker reveals that he designed and helped build a Tunnel of Love for the seniors, designed to be ridden in wheel chairs. The next day while working Tucker is arrested in costume, as well as Jerry, Sam, and Stu. They all assume that they are arrested for borrowing the items from the warehouse, as they did not inform Benjamin Fletcher of their plan. When they are questioned at the station, the detective shows them videos from the recent crime spree, which show people dressed in their same costumes committing robberies. However, all of their alibis check out and they are free to go, except for Stu, who is kept for further questioning and released later. Jerry suspects that the people in the costumes worked for park operations. Tucker, Jerry, and Sam know that if they can get the backup costumes from the park's warehouse to the police, the police can test the sweat in the costumes. Since none of them have worn those sets of costumes, they can get the sweat in the costumes matched to the park employees to discover whoever was trying to use them as patsies to be blamed for the crimes. However, Tucker, Jerry, and Sam suspect that the warehouse will be watched closely, and enlist the help of the seniors from the Haven House to help distract park operations so they can remove the costumes from the warehouse. However, despite the distractions, half of park operations is already there, about to take the duplicate costumes to the incinerator. Jerry reveals that Stu told Benjamin Fletcher of his suspicions, but Mr. Fletcher arrives and reveals that he was the mastermind behind the whole plan, and park operations engaged with the crimes with his blessings so he could take a cut of the money, though bank robbing was too extreme for him. The park operations employees approach Tucker, Jerry, and Sam to restrain them, but George the Janitor arrives and beats them back. The police detective enters and stops the fight. The entire park operations team is taken in for questioning, as well as Benjamin Fletcher. The police also take the costumes as evidence, so the performers make do by buying other off the shelf costumes or borrowing them from friends, though Tucker is able to use the original Hoppy the Kangaroo costume, as that one wasn’t worn by anyone in 12 years. After the summer is over, Stu starts a furry cosplay costume company and brings on Tucker's parents as sales agents. Jerry gets a promotion to director of entertainment at the park and the next summer creates a hit musical on Fletcher's old stage. Sam goes off to California for college, and Tucker is able to go to the California Institute of the Arts, as the grateful seniors at the Haven House all pitch in for a college fund. ===== The novel tells the intersecting stories of several different people of widely diverging ages and backgrounds. ===== After the events of the previous book, Dexter is accused of murdering Rita and molesting Astor.

Along with his gang of friends, they steal from the local merchants and market sellers to survive. One day he is approached by a wizard who offers to reward him great riches, if he will accompany him to a cave somewhere in the desert, and retrieve a lamp from within. Aladdin succeeds in doing this, even acquiring the hall of thousand lights where the lamp is found. However, upon return to the cave entrance, the wizard seals him in after Aladdin refuses to hand over the lamp, having become suspicious of the wizard.

With the help of the Genies of the lamp, Aladdin becomes a wealthy prince and asks the Sultan for his daughter's hand in marriage. Having already promised her to the Grand Wazir's son, the Sultan instead decrees that whichever of the two suitors brings him the best dowry, will marry Badral. Aladdin easily wins, while the Grand Wazir and his son are arrested for using stolen wealth to increase their dowry. Once married, Aladdin then uses the Genie of the lamp to build a grand palace for him and Badral. One day, however, while Aladdin and his friends are out hunting with the Sultan, the wizard from earlier dupes Aladdin's mother and Badral into trading him the lamp for a new one. With the lamp in his possession, he then wishes Aladdin's palace and all within it transported to his castle in Africa. Furious, the Sultan charges Aladdin with three days to rescue his daughter, otherwise Aladdin's friends will be executed. After losing his camel in the desert, Aladdin calls upon the Genie of the Ring that he still has. He warns however that he cannot undo the spell of the Genie of the lamp, but can transport Aladdin to where the palace is. The effort to do so, however, causes the ring to crumble. Once there Aladdin reunites with Badral. The two defeat the wizard and use the lamp to undo his wish. The film ends with Aladdin and Badral sealing the lamp in a locked chest and disposing of its key. ===== ===== King Arthur's wife is kidnapped by his evil sister Morgan Le Fay.

In flashback, we see that Tony's Sixth Form classmate, Robson, died from what many believed to be suicide after his girlfriend became pregnant. Tony's friend, the highly intelligent Adrian Finn, told their history teacher that in the absence of documentary evidence nobody will ever know the true reason for his suicide.

She accuses him of stalking, only to embarrassingly discover that they live in the same home. Upon walking in and finding pictures of one another together they determine they know each other and simply have amnesia. In order to get their memories back David suggests the two have sex. It is soon realized that David and Claire do not have amnesia but are dating and are simply playing a game. One day, Claire suddenly disappears. After contacting her friends and workplace, David goes to the police. Detective Sloan can offer little hope beyond posting missing person flyers. A year later, Claire's friend Buck shows up. While they are out discussing Claire, David drunkenly insists Buck dare him to jump from a ledge. The next morning, Buck says he must make a flight that afternoon, and David allows Buck to stay at his apartment while he does chores. Instead, David rides the bus through the city, reminiscing about Claire. The bus driver forces him off the bus at the last stop, and David returns home early. David surprises Buck, who has trashed the apartment while searching for something. Buck knocks David unconscious and leaves. After contacting the police, Detective Sloan agrees to look into Buck and Claire. Looking for clues Buck may have missed, David finds a hidden cache of pictures. These lead him to an automotive wrecking yard. While exploring it and questioning employees, he draws the attention of an accented man in a back room. Although initially friendly, he demands to know why David has come to his store to look for a missing person. When David does not answer to his satisfaction, the man tortures him with an electric prod. Finally satisfied, the man releases David and says he may not like what he finds. The next day, David surprises a man, Aleksandr, who breaks into his house. After subduing Aleksandr, David learns he is a mobster based at the automotive wrecking yard who has been dispatched to learn more about David. Aleksandr says Claire killed his brother, and he intends to kill her if he finds her. Before David can finish interrogating Aleksandr, Sloan interrupts him. Sloan says his investigation into Claire and Buck has turned up nothing – neither are apparently who they say they are. Sloan suggests Claire is troubled and advises David to forget about her. Questioning Aleksandr further leads David to search Vancouver for clues, though Aleksandr says the mob will be looking for him now. In Vancouver, David questions a businessman's widow after finding his face among Claire's pictures. It turns up nothing, but a car begins following David, who panics and flees into the woods. A man chases him on foot, and David launches a surprise attack on him, crippling him. The SUV stops him before he can flee further and takes him to see Hall, who introduces himself as a U.S. government official. Hall presents photographic evidence of Claire's death and asks David to stop researching her, saying the businessman's death was an assassination by Claire, and exposing her past could endanger David. David initially agrees to stop but becomes suspicious of Hall. Catching on, Hall announces he can no longer allow David to leave. David causes the SUV to crash and escapes. He eventually finds a missing person photo of Claire under a different name and contacts a man who leads him to Buck, who is now going under the name Kyle. David leads Buck, Alexandr, and Hall all to the same meeting spot. While Hall's and Alexandr's men fight, David abducts Buck and demands he and Hall leave him alone. Buck rejects his demands, saying that David does not understand what kind of mess he has gotten himself into. Hall immediately afterward takes him hostage. While David is being tortured for the location of Claire's pictures, someone breaks into Hall's warehouse and kills the guards, eventually revealing herself as Claire. Claire and David return to their house to retrieve Claire's pictures, which she explains is evidence that Hall is a double agent. Before they can leave, however, Alexandr and Hall arrive outside. Both of them surround the house with armed assassins. The situation is patently hopeless. David and Claire resign themselves to going out in a blaze of glory.

(This ligament contains a part of their stomach, the only organ they share.)

Eng, the more shy and bookish twin, narrates their story. When the book opens, Chang & Eng face their last night—Eng awakens, sees that Chang is dead, and knows that he will die tonight, too.

Bill's henchman, Bud, tosses a gun to Cat. Bill orders the others out and tells his henchman Bud to set fire to the house. Then they have a stand-up duel and Bill falls. When Cat emerges from the house the gang follows Bill’s orders – Cat is allowed to leave. There is a funeral, though a burned body cannot be identified. After the funeral the men find that the loot of the gang is missing, and Bud says that Cat must have stolen it. On several occasions Cat is attacked by gang members and kills them, while Bud disappears. This is told in flashbacks during the film. The story as shown begins with a train running into a town, filled with dead bodies. This train has been robbed and its passengers massacred, but one survivor identifies Bill San Antonio, though Bill had been supposed to be dead, shot by Cat in a duel. Cat is told this by Hutch, an old acquaintance who is now an insurance agent. Cat remembers that the gun he used in the duel was handed to him by Bud. He sneaks away at night with Hutch’s horse and leaves it further on. Cat searches – followed at a distance by Hutch – and eventually finds the hideout of Bill’s new gang. When sneaking into the house Cat is caught, but saved by Hutch. Using Hutch’s considerable strength, they remove the box with the gold taken from the train, and hide it down in the ground by some cliffs. Then the two fall out, because Cat wants more than the percentage offered by the insurance company. As shots may draw the attention of the gang, they fight it out without weapons. Cat swings in a tree and kicks Hutch several times until Hutch finally knocks Cat out cold. Still dizzy, Hutch looks up to find that Bill and his men have arrived. The two are tortured by what Bill knows that they can’t stand, Cat by water and Hutch by fire, but they won’t tell where the gold is. When Bill and most of the gang temporarily leave (to meet his secret partner), Cat suggests to Bud (who has been recently whipped by Bill for being too conspicuous in the nearby village and also blamed for the surviving witness at the train massacre) that he can lead him to the gold. After Cat digs up the box of gold, Bud is about to shoot him but Cat throws a knife lying by the box and kills Bud. When Bill returns he sends his gang to search for Cat. Bill and two bandits find Cat in a cantina in the nearby Mexican village. After his two companions have been shot by Cat, Bill – held at gunpoint – suggests that they share the money, and forget Hutch. At Bill’s lair the three men that are left there try to get the information from Hutch, but the man Bill assigned to guard Hutch, refuses to open the door. While Tago is occupied, Hutch breaks the wooden beam that he is bound to and beats him down. Then Hutch shoots the men when they break in through the door. At the place of the gold, Cat intends to reproduce his first duel with Bill, but with dynamite instead of fire. While the fuse burns away, they move into position to draw; but are interrupted by Hutch, who is holding a rifle and tells them to drop their guns. He asks about the gold. And when Cat says that the box is there but the content may not be the same, he tries to open the box while keeping an eye on the two. The fuse keeps on burning, and Bill draws a hidden derringer and shoots Hutch, but a hidden knife thrown by Cat wounds his hand. The two pick up their revolvers and shoot. Cat wounds Bill’s other hand (that he drew with) and also shoots both his knees. While Bill crawls towards the kegs of dynamite and tries to bite off the fuse with his teeth, Cat carries the unconscious Hutch to cover. Then there is a big explosion. In the concluding scene Hutch comes to, lying on the wagon with the bags of gold.

At that time, Bartolomeo was accused of betrayal of Pope and was considered as a Heretic, but at last he is forgiven and sent to a journey with priests. During the voyage he meets Antonio, a former priest accused of worshiping the Devil. In the course of the voyage, they become good friends. However, this friendship with the fallen priest soon draws Bartolomeo into a web of intrigue in the foreign country of Georgia. Antonio reveals his backstory to Bartolomeo, how he and his friends were accused of heresy by the inquisitors, one of them being Father Sebastiano, the leader of the aforementioned expedition to Georgia, but unlike them, was spared due to the influence of his friends and family. Antonio thought that by accepting the pardon, he betrayed his ideals and spiritual brethren and after all these years, he couldn't forgive himself for his decision. After a long journey, they reach the bank of Samegrelo, where they were sheltered by its Prince, hardy yet very friendly man who got acquainted with Bartolomeo rather quickly. Antonio and Bartolomeo decide to medically treat population. After a while, by an order, they leave Samegrelo and reach Imereti. They study Georgian flora, fauna and traditions. Once, they meet a stronghold and at its gates, a black slave. Travellers try to communicate, but in vain. Then, a peasant tells them story of the stronghold. Once upon a time, there lived a prince, who had a sexual contact with his servant and decided to get rid of a baby. The baby was named David and was sold in Istanbul, but he got free very soon and returned to his motherland, assembling a group of robbers and proceeded to terrorise the countryside. Local nobleman, a cowardly and deceitful person who had married David's half- sister, was threaten by David, to not to spread his secret. Thus, for years, crime has plagued the parish for long time without reprecutions. After hearing this, Antonio got enraged and decided to catch David. Although Bartolomeo disagreed with him, as he thought it wasn't foreigners' affair. When David appeared in town, Antonio tried to derange his politics, but couldn't. For this, town was fined with 3 hostages, including 2 young man and a local corrupt priest. On the second day, Antonio went to David's stronghold and offered large sum of gold for hostages. Chief of the stronghold accepted, but with only one condition: they wouldn't ever return. David freed his hostages immediately and returned the gold given as a ransom for the priest, for David thought that he was so pathetic that he wasn't worth anything at all. Since then, locals changed their minds about foreigners. On the second day, Bartolomeo heard about events and went to Antonio. Antonio was returning and they met on the road. Antonio narrated everything to him. He said that he had a dream of a prophecy and because of that, he went to David. He visited the stronghold once again. David threatened that he would execute Antonio though gave his sword as a sign for his admiration, but Antonio merely smiled and in turn called out David of being a coward and a disgrace, that he became slave of his own fears and killing him wouldn't change this fact. As David asks if he fears death, Antonio answers "Yes, I still do, but I have realised that it's not worth to become the fear's servant long time ago". David released Antonio, as he couldn't bring himself to kill him. At night, David visited Antonio and Bartolomeo and revealed that he disbanded his group, but didn't knew what to do next to atone for his past. By an order of foreigners, he read the Holy Book and sold all his possessions to redeem the captives that he sold on markets of Akhaltsikhe, but he couldn't rescue all of them, for which he felt immense sorrow. He started to pray and visited the church, but as the villagers saw him, they decided to stone him for his crimes. Antonio and Bartolomeo, hearing this from a David's black slave, called Bebe, intervened and saved seriously injured David. When they arrived in the shelter, David told Antonio and Bartolomeo that they shouldn't have rescued him, as his death would atone his sins, to which they have answered that this wasn't the right thing to do. After several days of healing, David decided to travel to the capital and confess his crimes to the prince, and ask him that after his sentence for his crimes would be fulfilled, to make him a bounty-hunter to bring brigands to justice. Nobleman of village and the corrupt priest reported them to the Prince (alongside numerous false accusations against Antonio and Bartolomeo) who sent his retinue (which included people from the mission) at traveler's place and asked them to return to the capital. There Father Sebastiano, enraged by the actions of the two travelers, decided that the Antonio would be judged secretly and it was finally decided that he would either be executed by poisoning, or be burned at stake in Italy. Antonio chose the second, thinking that it would be a fitting fate for him. While David was tried for his crimes, Bartolomeo told his side of the story to the prince, who trusted him. David was released and upon hearing verdict regarding Antonio, decided that he would rescue his friend. But Antonio, fearing that David would endanger himself with his endeavour, decided to change his sentence of choice and accepted death by poison, with his last words, asking Bartolomeo to take care of David.

She now appears to be trapped inside some sort of laser bubble — unconscious, naked and horribly airbrushed — while her admirer, mad scientist Yik Tin Hang (Jacky Cheung) fumes about making Ken pay within his lair underneath Paradise Island, off the coast of Thailand. Over in Macau, Ken is busy having a meltdown over the wedding of the century of his daughter Rainbow (Kimmy Tong) to his godson Vincent (Shawn Yue). To help him snap out of it, his friend Mark (Nick Cheung) hypnotizes him into thinking Vincent is marrying his fat cousin. Things go very wrong when Michael (Andy Lau), the disciple of Ko Chun, phoned in with a warning to beware of Yik Tin Hang who has sent an explosive robot that looks like Michael to kill Ken. An explosion during the wedding causes both Rainbow and Vincent to fall into coma, while Ken and Mark are accused to have engulfed DOA's illicit money. Enraged, Ken swears to seek vengeance and to pursue the mastermind who has entangled them in his evil plans. Ken and Mark end up in prison, a convenient venue for them to play a card game using cigarettes as chips (so technically, it's not gambling), but are then abruptly rescued from a criminal raid and take refuge in Michael's home in Singapore. Michael's spacious pad, whose open layout looks suspiciously like a sound stage, serves as a cost-effective location for a lengthy stretch, while a gaggle of characters drop in and out to deliver trite gags. These range from a mildly irritating demo of wonky weapons by an ammo expert (Law Kar-ying), to a criminally infantile cake-throwing match. Two romantic arcs unfold — one between Ken's R2-D2 doppelganger robot, Stupido, and Michael's femme-bot, Skinny; the other a love triangle involving Michael, Ko's younger sister Ko Fei (Li Yuchun) and Mark.

He later invites them to a “charity” mahjong, dice and three-person card game from China (called "Fighting the Landlord") event at a hall within the island resort on Paradise Island. A host of cameos are trotted out, including Psy of "Gangnam Style" fame, who was then escorted out of the hall. After the games, sleeping gas is released into the hall, causing Ken and the guests to pass out. Ken and his friends sneak into a warehouse under the hall, where they battle Yik Tin Hang's mercenaries and four robots. Stupido and Skinny, who fly all the way to the resort, save them and defeat the robots, but are heavily damaged in the process. Michael encounters nine tough androids, who attack him, but he tricks them, and Only Yu arrives with Interpol officers, pressing a large button that forces the androids to dance and then self-destruct. Ken confronts Yik Tin Hang in the latter's lair, and Yik Tin Hang electrocutes him with a baton and a gauntlet on his right arm, destroying his laboratory in the process. Molly awakens from her laser bubble and calls Yik Tin Hang, allowing Ken to defeat Yik Tin Hang. As she dies in Ken's arms, Yik Tin Hang watches and dies as well. At the end of the movie, Ken and his friends celebrate Chinese New Year in Michael's house. Stupido and Skinny, who had been repaired, are brought with their robotic offspring to Ken's celebration. ===== Two families are associated with Sannidhi, a kind and gentle person who puts the needs of others ahead of hers and Siddharth, a young easy-going, fun-loving businessman.

That night, after the pair decides to start a family together, the target tracks Wade down and inadvertently kills Vanessa. Wade kills all of the men in revenge, before pulling them both into the path of an oncoming truck. He blames himself for Vanessa's death and attempts to commit suicide six weeks later by blowing himself up. Wade has a vision of Vanessa in the afterlife, but the pieces of his body remain alive and are put back together by Colossus. Wade is left with only a Skee-Ball token, an anniversary gift, as a final memento of Vanessa. Recovering at the X-Mansion, Wade reluctantly agrees to join the X-Men because he believes Vanessa would have wanted him to. He, Colossus, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead respond to a standoff between authorities and the unstable young mutant Russell Collins / Firefist at an orphanage, labeled a "Mutant Re- education Center". Deadpool realizes that Russell has been abused by the orphanage staff, and kills one of the staff members. Colossus stops him from killing anyone else, and both Wade and Russell are arrested. Restrained with collars that suppress their powers, they are taken to the Ice Box, an isolated prison for mutant criminals. Meanwhile, Cable — a cybernetic soldier from the future — travels back in time to kill Russell. Cable breaks into the Ice Box and attacks Russell. Wade, whose collar breaks in the ensuing melee, attempts to defend Russell. After Cable takes Vanessa's token, Wade forces himself and Cable out of the prison, but not before Russell overhears Wade deny that he cares for the young mutant in order to protect him. Near-death again, Wade has another vision of Vanessa in which she convinces him to help Russell. Deadpool organizes a team called X-Force to break Russell out of a prison-transfer convoy and defend him from Cable. The team launches its assault on the convoy by parachute, but all of the members die during the landing except for Deadpool and the lucky Domino. While they fight Cable, Russell frees fellow inmate the Juggernaut, who agrees to help Russell kill the abusive orphanage headmaster. The Juggernaut destroys the convoy and rips Deadpool in half, allowing himself and Russell to escape. While recovering, Cable offers to work with Wade and Domino to stop Russell from killing the headmaster — in the future, Russell has become a serial killer as a result of the incident, having burned Cable's family alive — agreeing to give Wade a chance to talk Russell down. At the orphanage, they are overpowered by the Juggernaut while Deadpool attacks the headmaster until Colossus — who had at first refused to help Deadpool due to Deadpool's murderous ways — arrives to distract the Juggernaut. When Deadpool fails to talk down Russell, Cable shoots at the young mutant. Deadpool leaps in front of the bullet while wearing the Ice Box collar and dies, reuniting with Vanessa in the afterlife. Seeing this sacrifice, Russell does not kill the headmaster; this changes the future so that Cable's family now survives. Cable uses the last charge on his time- traveling device, which he needed for returning to his family, to go back several minutes and strap Vanessa's token in front of Wade's heart. Now when Deadpool takes the bullet for Russell, it is stopped by the token and both survive while Russell still has his change of heart. Afterward, the headmaster is run over by Wade's taxi-driver friend Dopinder. In a mid-credits sequence, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and her girlfriend Yukio repair Cable's time- traveling device for Deadpool. He uses it to save the lives of Vanessa and X-Force member Peter, and kills both X-Men Origins: Wolverines version of Deadpool and actor Ryan Reynolds while he is considering starring in the film Green Lantern. ===== This is a story of seven friends (4 boys and 3 girls) who came from different backgrounds and had clashes with their parents.

He is given wide latitude to write it, on the sole condition that he not request more troops. McMahon and his staff, particularly his right hand man Major General Greg Pulver, are united in their belief that the war can be won, and decide to recommend that President Obama authorize a surge of 40,000 additional troops to secure Helmand province in order to stabilize the country. However, the Secretary of State informs McMahon that, because he requested more troops, and such a surge is incompatible with elections, McMahon's report will not be reviewed until after Afghanistan's presidential election. Captain Badi Basim, a member of the Afghan National Army, joins McMahon's staff as a "representative" of the Afghan people. He arrives, however, in civilian clothes as he would rather not wear his uniform, which he has in a bag. Meanwhile, McMahon is informed that, due to alleged irregularities in the counting of votes, a runoff election will have to be held, further delaying the review of the assessment. Fed up, McMahon secretly leaks the assessment to the Washington Post and organizes an interview with 60 Minutes, during which he reveals that, in the last 70 days, he has only been granted one meeting with President Obama. In response, the U.S. government announces that they will send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, and that all U.S. and coalition forces in the country will leave in 18 months. To gather the remaining 10,000 troops needed for his strategy to work, McMahon and his men head to Paris to negotiate with the other coalition nations. In Paris, McMahon learns that the President is in Denmark and wishes to meet with him. The ambassador to Afghanistan warns McMahon that he needs to understand President Obama's position: if McMahon continues to anger the President, he will be fired for insubordination. The President, however, merely shakes McMahon's hand as he climbs aboard Air Force One, supposedly due to time constraints, and McMahon and his staff attend a dinner in McMahon's honor, accompanied by Rolling Stone writer Sean Cullen, who intends to write a feature story about his performance for an upcoming issue. The next day, during their wedding anniversary dinner, McMahon's wife Jeanie confronts him about how much time he's been spending fighting abroad instead of being with his family back home. While en route to Berlin with McMahon's staff to continue negotiations, Cullen observes their behavior and concludes that they are arrogant, and seem to care little about the growing public perception that the war is costly and wasteful. At a conference to discuss his strategy, McMahon is confronted by a German official who is skeptical of his approach and suggests that McMahon's plans would only lead to more losses. Nevertheless, both the Germans and the French agree to furnish the troops needed for McMahon's planned offensive, codenamed "Operation Moshtarak", to begin, with Afghan President Hamid Karzai's approval. The operation launches, but soon runs into trouble when several civilians are accidentally killed against McMahon's instructions. When he holds a public meeting to explain the incident, the crowd grows hostile and demands that McMahon and his troops leave. Worse, McMahon learns that Cullen's article has been published, and paints a negative picture of him and his staff as openly speaking against the President and mishandling the war effort. Knowing that he will be fired for his actions, McMahon returns to Washington and later takes a job as a civilian consultant. In the aftermath, Cullen ponders the consequences of his article, noting that he wished McMahon's fall would finally convince the government to stop invading foreign countries and end the war in Afghanistan. Instead, however, the government simply assigns a new general to replace McMahon. ===== Barney gets ready to hibernate for the winter, but notices he is out of firewood, so he chops a nearby tree to get some.

Recently orphaned brothers Hussein and Theeb, the second and third sons of a Bedouin sheik of the Howeitat tribe, come from a family of pilgrim guides, and are accustomed to a nomadic lifestyle. One night, their camp is visited by Edward, a British officer, and an Arab named Marji. The officer is carrying a wooden box, rumoured to contain gold, which raises Theeb's curiosity. Hussein is asked to guide them to a Roman well lying on the pilgrims' trail, next to the strategic Ottoman railway. Men at the camp warn that the trail is rife with bandits. Theeb wants to join, but his brother insists on leaving him behind. The next day as the group leaves, the boy disobeys his brother and follows them and manages to catch up after a day's walk. Despite objections from Hussein and Marji concerning Theeb's presence and fear for his safety, Edward is adamant on continuing their travel immediately, so Theeb stays with the group. After they reach the well, they discover that it is contaminated by blood from slaughtered bodies thrown into it. The group then notice that they are being watched by a group of men in the distance. They quickly escape, but Edward insists that they continue. Hussein leads them to another nearby well in a canyon, where they are ambushed. Edward and Marji are suddenly shot dead from a distance. Hussein and Theeb hide from the raiders; when night falls, another engagement with the raiders leaves Hussein dead. While trying to escape, Theeb trips and falls into the well. A raider cuts the water bag rope. He manages to climb up the next day, and finds himself stranded in the desert. The boy weeps for his murdered brother and buries him in the sand. Theeb spends the day wandering around the canyon, and eventually notices a camel heading towards him from the distance. He approaches the camel, and finds an unconscious man collapsed on top. The next day, Theeb wakes up to see the man staring at him. He is Hassan, a gravely injured mercenary who is one of the perpetrators of the massacre. Theeb is too small to get the camel to obey him, and Hassan is too injured to move. They are initially aggressive and hostile, but soon realise that they need each other's help to survive. Theeb spends some time with Hassan, feeding and healing him. Hassan asks Theeb not to betray him, considering how he let Theeb eat with him. The next day, the pair mount the camel and head towards an Ottoman rail station. They bump into Arab revolutionaries who ask Hassan questions regarding his modern Western belongings – they are looking for the British officer, who had coordinated an attack with them against the Ottomans on the Hejaz railway. Allowed to pass, the two continue towards the rail station. On their way there, they pass by a part of the railway where dozens of dead Arab revolutionaries lie. They had been waiting for the British officer, with his wooden box detonator, which was intended to blow up the railway. At the station, Hassan sells the Englishman's belongings to an Ottoman Chief in exchange for silver. The Chief offers Theeb a coin as well; however, Theeb refuses to take it, realizing that Hassan was being paid money for items he stole after killing his brother. Young Theeb waits outside the station and shoots Hassan dead. The Ottoman chief lets the boy go after learning that Hassan had killed his brother and Theeb rides off into the desert alone. ===== *European countries by electricity consumption per person *European countries by fossil fuel use (% of total energy) *European countries by health expense per person *European countries by military expenditure as a percentage of government expenditure *European countries by percent of population aged 0-14 *European countries by percentage of urban population *European countries by percentage of women in national parliaments *List of sovereign states in Europe by life expectancy *List of sovereign states in Europe by number of Internet users ===== The narrator discusses the case of Gottfried Plattner, a schoolteacher in the south of England. He establishes the known facts: the unsymmetrical parts of his body are opposite from the usual way round, and his unsymmetrical facial features are the reverse of what are seen on his portrayal in an old photograph. "The curious inversion of Plattner's right and left sides is proof that he has moved out of our space into what is called the Fourth Dimension, and that he has returned again to our world." Plattner disappeared when he experimented in a chemistry class with green powder found by a boy, which caused an explosion; he re- appeared nine days later. He has related his account of that period to the narrator, who sets it down so that the reader can decide whether it is plausible. After the explosion, Plattner, still with the bottle containing the rest of the green powder, tries to make sense of his new environment. The schoolroom and people there are seen faintly; they do not see or hear him, and they can walk through him. The solid environment around him, which he explores, is a rocky hillside, and the sky has a green glow. People, dispersing from a mausoleum-like building in a gorge, have heads showing distress and anguish, above tadpole-like bodies. They seem to be unaware of him. Still faintly seeing our world which is superimposed on this "Other- World", he notices that "to almost every human being in our world there pertained some of these drifting heads; that everyone in the world is watched intermittently by these helpless disembodiments". The narrator calls them "Watchers of the Living". "It may be... that, when our life has closed, when evil or good is no longer a choice for us, we may still have to witness the working out of the train of consequences we have laid." Plattner notices a room in a street near the school, where a dying man lies in bed; a woman in the room is looking for a document. Many "Watchers of the Living", who seem to know the woman, are there, contemplating the event: "Faces that might once have been coarse, now purged to strength by sorrow." When the woman finds what she seeks, perhaps a will, she burns it in the flame of a candle. A shadowy arm stretches across to the man in the bed. Not daring to see the shadow behind the arm, Plattner runs and falls, smashing the bottle of green powder, which explodes; and so he returns to his former world. The narrator later finds that there was a death in a street near the school at the time of Plattner's return. The widow, much younger than the deceased, soon married again. The narrator interviews her: although she contradicts Plattner's account of events during her husband's last moments, Plattner's description of the room is curiously accurate. ===== *European countries by electricity consumption per person *European countries by employment in agriculture (% of employed) *European countries by fossil fuel use (% of total energy) *European countries by health expense per person *European countries by military expenditure as a percentage of government expenditure *European countries by percent of population aged 0-14 *European countries by percentage of urban population *List of sovereign states in Europe by life expectancy *List of sovereign states in Europe by number of Internet users ===== *European countries by electricity consumption per person *European countries by employment in agriculture (% of employed) *European countries by fossil fuel use (% of total energy) *European countries by military expenditure as a percentage of government expenditure *European countries by percent of population aged 0-14 *European countries by percentage of urban population *European countries by percentage of women in national parliaments *List of sovereign states in Europe by life expectancy *List of sovereign states in Europe by number of Internet users ===== Tristan Duffy meets with James March and talk about secret places in the Hotel, which James wants Tristan to re-open.

The children tell Emmon of their gifts, though he is somewhat disbelieving of them. Orrec then narrates the history of his family from his childhood. His father Canoc is the brantor of Caspromant; his mother Melle, a woman from the lowlands. Despite living in the Uplands, Melle holds to some of her traditions, and teaches Orrec stories and lays that she had learned as a child. She also teaches him to read, an ability rare among Uplanders. Canoc also begins to instruct Orrec in the use of their power, though Orrec does not manifest any ability as a child. Orrec and Gry, of a similar age, become good friends, and Gry begins to show her power, being able to listen to the speech of cats and mice. When he is 13, Orrec seemingly becomes able to use his power, striking an adder dead when it was about to bite his father. However, he is troubled by the ability not feeling different from his past unsuccessful efforts at using it. His father asks him to try, suggesting that Orrec has a duty to use his power to protect the domain, but Orrec refuses. A few days later Ogge Drum, the brantor of the neighboring domain of Drummant, comes to Caspromant, inviting the Caspros to his home, and suggesting that Orrec be betrothed to his granddaughter. Although wary of Drum due to their longstanding enmity, Canoc agrees to visit. Melle expresses opposition to the betrothal: Orrec is hurt because he and Gry had assumed they would marry each other. Canoc once again asks Orrec to use his power; Orrec is initially unable, but as his frustration builds, he seemingly turns an entire hillside into desolation. Terrified at his lack of control over his "wild" gift, he blindfolds himself. The Caspros visit Drummant, but Ogge is rude to them, and the granddaughter Ogge proposed to betroth to Orrec is found to be mentally disabled. After they return, Melle falls ill, and Orrec assumes that Ogge used his gift of setting a wasting sickness on her. As Melle gets slowly weaker, she asks Orrec to retell her stories, leading him to realize he has a gift for storytelling and poetry. Orrec also develops a bond with Coaly, a guide dog trained for him by Gry. On her deathbed, Melle asks to see Orrec's eyes one last time, so he removes his blindfold, and realizes that his love for Melle would never have let him hurt her. Orrec begins to secretly remove his blindfold to read his books, and once looks at Coaly accidentally without hurting her. He realizes that he never had the gift of unmaking; his father had performed all of the acts attributed to him, and had pretended that Orrec had a "wild" gift to frighten people into leaving his domain alone. He confronts his father, and stops wearing a blindfold. Soon after, Ogge leads a raid against Roddmant. Canoc kills Ogge and his son while defending it, thus avenging his wife, and is killed himself. Orrec and Gry decide that there is no future for them in the uplands, because Gry is unwilling to use her gift to call animals to be hunted, and Orrec's gift of poetry is of no use there. They join Caspromant to Roddmant, and leave the uplands to make a new life elsewhere. ===== ===== A police inspector's son is killed by a gang of thieves and is accused of having killed a police informer.

Across the worlds, he is believed dead because of a public execution faked by the Jackal and Octavia au Lune, the Sovereign. Sevro au Barca, now leader of the Sons of Ares, sends his deputy Holiday ti Nakamura to rescue Darrow. Darrow discovers that Victra au Julii is also still alive and frees her as well. Reconciling and recovering at a hidden rebel stronghold, Darrow and Victra join Sevro's gang of Howlers. Their first mission is to kidnap Quicksilver, the richest man in the Society, who they believe is the Jackal's silent partner. Darrow and his men stumble into a peace negotiation between some of the Sovereign's underlings — Cassius au Bellona, Moira au Grimmus and the Death Knight — on one side, and Darrow's old friends — Virginia "Mustang" au Augustus, Kavax au Telemanus and Daxo au Telemanus — on the other. The room erupts in conflict and destruction; Moira and the Death Knight are killed. Mustang is shocked to find Darrow alive, and the Howlers manage to escape with Quicksilver and Kavax as prisoners. Quicksilver reveals that he had secretly co-founded the Sons of Ares with Sevro's late father Fitchner au Barca, and offers his considerable resources to Darrow. Kavax also makes peace with Darrow and offers him allegiance. The Sons seize control of the moon Phobos as a distraction, allowing Darrow, Ragnar and Holiday to slip away to seek an alliance with Ragnar's mother Alia Snowsparrow, an Obsidian queen. They are intercepted and then joined by Mustang, who renews her dedication to Darrow and his cause. They learn too late that they have been followed by an enemy ship. Both ships exchange fire and crash into the frozen wasteland of Obsidian territory. Plagued by cannibalistic tribes of Obsidian outcasts, Darrow and his companions ambush their Gold pursuers, Aja au Grimmus and Cassius. Darrow and Mustang neutralize Cassius, but Ragnar is mortally wounded by Aja before she escapes. Ragnar's sister Sefi arrives in time to be reunited with him, only to watch him die. Hoping that the fierce Obsidian warriors will join his rebellion when they see that their "gods" are just men who have subjugated them, Darrow and Mustang lead Sefi and her Valkyrie to overtake the Golds who style themselves as Norse gods for the superstitious Obsidians. Alia still refuses to follow Darrow's cause and denounces his group as heretics, so Sefi kills her mother and then the former "gods". Sefi becomes queen and manages to rally all of the Obsidian tribes to join Darrow's crusade, leaving the polar region for the Sons of Ares' stronghold with a wounded Cassius in tow. Cassius reveals that the Sovereign's secret stockpile of nuclear weapons has been stolen, likely by the Jackal. Darrow and Mustang seek an alliance with the Moon Lords of Jupiter, who are led by the self-declared Sovereign of the Outer Rim, Romulus au Raa. Darrow's former friend Roque au Fabii is also there, in his position as the Imperator of Octavia au Lune's Sword Armada, to negotiate a truce with the Moon Lords. Darrow secures their support against Octavia when he manipulates Roque into confirming that she possesses planet-destroying atomic weapons to use against them if necessary. Darrow's forces are joined by those of the Moon Lords against Roque's Sword Armada and the fleet of Victra's brutal sister, Antonia au Severus-Julii. Using a tactical ruse, Darrow along with Sefi's Obsidians board Roque's flagship. They overtake the ship, and the proud Roque, refusing to surrender, commits suicide. Antonia flees, but is soon captured by Victra. After the battle, Sefi and her Obsidians instigate a riot among the Sons of Ares to execute their Gold prisoners, having been enraged by the savagery of the Jackal. Sevro proves their hypocrisy in dramatic fashion by first hanging Cassius for killing Fitchner, and then hanging himself for his own multiple murders. Astonished, Sefi cuts them both down before they die, and Sevro makes peace with the Obsidians. Sevro and Victra are married in the week thereafter. Darrow's Red Armada arrives at Luna to attack the Sovereign. Darrow, Sevro and Mustang release Cassius, who swears to distance himself from the war — until he suddenly grabs Sevro's scorcher and shoots him to death. Cassius stuns Darrow and Mustang, sets Antonia free, and the duo take Darrow, Mustang and Sevro's body with them to deliver to the Sovereign. They meet the Jackal, who coerces Cassius to sever Darrow's hand. Octavia orders Aja to execute Antonia for her dishonorable conduct during the battle with the Moon Lords, and sentences Darrow to death in a live telecast. Cassius, however, kills the Sovereign's Praetorian guards and releases Darrow and Mustang. Darrow fatally stabs Octavia and incapacitates the Jackal. While Cassius and Mustang face Aja, Darrow revives a sedated Sevro. Aja is slain under their combined efforts. The Jackal instructs Darrow to commit suicide, under threat of detonating the nuclear bombs he has placed across Luna. Darrow tears out the Jackal's tongue while Mustang and Lysander direct both the loyalist and the Rising fleets to fire upon the Jackal's flagship that was responsible for detonating the nukes. Nevertheless, twelve nukes go off, killing millions. With the support of Octavia's young grandson Lysander, Mustang takes control as Sovereign. She disbands the Senate and begins dismantling the Color system and the tyrannical social infrastructure of the Golds. The Jackal is publicly executed. Cassius, having made peace with Darrow and himself, takes off with Lysander to raise the boy in exile. Mustang reveals to Darrow the existence of their son, Pax, who was born while Darrow was presumed dead, and had been secretly in the care of Kavax's wife. Darrow vows to himself to create a better world for his son to live in. ===== Zoe (Sharon Hinnendael) and Mal (Jill Evyn) are two actresses who meet while filming a movie where they're cast as lovers. They end up falling in love in the process and all seems to go well until months later when Mal abandons her lover just when Zoe's career starts to really take off. While it appears that Mal had little reason to leave her lover, the truth is that Mal was formerly a drug addict and is afraid that Zoe will leave her so she left Zoe before this could happen. The two end up being drawn back together when they're called back by Kara (Marina Rice Bader), the film director, to re- shoot their lovemaking scene for TV network distribution. Zoe and Mal initially have a problem acting as both have pent-up feelings for each other however Anne Pasternak (Constance Brenneman), the film's producer, helps them to work professionally. Anne also comforts both Zoe and Mal individually and keeps their confidence afloat. Zoe gets a call from her agent who tells her that she should not have any shooting today. Zoe is then suspicious and calls out on Kara. Kara then reveals to Zoe that there is no broadcast deal and she did this to ensure Zoe and Mal got back together. Zoe is upset upon hearing this so she starts having a nervous breakdown. Anne once again helps calm the situation and Mal also calms Zoe down and kisses her. This decreases the tension between them and they are finally able to shoot the first scene. Everyone is happy that they can move to the next shot. Zoe and Mal have a moment together and Zoe questions her why Mal left her. Mal explains her reason but Zoe is still upset and they end up arguing which prompts Kara and Anne to intervene, this finally leads to Kara revealing that there was no broadcast deal and that Kara was amazed to see Zoe and Mal fall in love with each other six months ago on the same set. She wanted Zoe and Mal to get back together and prove that love does exist. Kara then ends up canceling the shooting and packs up. Anne follows and demands to know the whole truth as she had worked for 15 years with Kara. Anne also tells her that she wanted Kara to notice her efforts. Kara then replies that Anne has always done an amazing job and that she is Anne's biggest fan. Anne then tells Kara that she loves her and kisses Kara (which surprises her). Mal and Zoe continue to argue, Zoe tells Mal that she is exactly like her mother. This upsets Mal who locks herself in the restroom. Zoe apologizes for what she said and tries to console her but Mal does not give in. Zoe then leaves the studio and sits in the middle of the road. Mal then comes searching for her and the two end up staring at each other with tears in both of their eyes. The film concludes with a flashback scene to six months earlier where both Mal and Zoe fell in love with each other after filming their lovemaking scene and that they went home and made love to each other (for real and off-camera) for the first time. ===== The film tells the journey of a young woman born into Zoroastrianism, the religion of her forefathers. Her journey starts with a remote village where she sees her grandfather die, to Mumbai, where she is welcomed by her aunt's adopted son who confesses that he still loves her. The film also in a unique manner brings back characters from the historical and philosophical past of Zoroastrianism such as Mani, executed by Parsi priests, Mazdak, executed for his radical communistic ideas and Zurvan, a theological avatar of 'Time'. ===== The Fine Brothers host comedy segments to illustrate how anything in the world can be connected by six degrees. ===== In the summer of 1968, the 14-year-old Wolfgang from Osnabrück, who liked to tinker with mopeds, is defiant to his stepfather. When Wolfgang shows his friends the paternal pornography magazine, the latter lets him through a staff member of the Youth Office Osnabrück to a Christian educational center in Freistatt. His mother comforts him and promises to take him back at Christmas. He takes a picture of his mother to Freistatt. He is greeted seemingly friendly by the housefather Brockmann in his garden. He interrupts his gardening and reads out loudly from Wolfgang's juvenile acts. As a result of this, the Youth Office noted that Wolfgang was "aggressive", "renitent" and "disobedient" and had fled from the Heidequell school near Bielefeld after three months. He defended himself by saying that he had always defended himself and had never become violent. The father of the house takes a sheet from Wolfgang's file and folds a planter from it. The life in the home is, however, the same as in a barrack. The leaders are called as "brother" as usual among "good Christians". The housefather, who is quite fierce in his dealings with his pupils advocates, leads the establishment, according to his own data, for 25 years, so since 1943. When Wolfgang is used for Mattis, the weaker pupil, who is to be punished by Bernd, the "ranks of the group," he is punished by him. The Afro-German Anton takes contact with Wolfgang and tells him that he is also from Osnabrück. Wolfgang has to work with the other pupils to the hard work in the peat mire. When he complains that he is going to get boots in two months, he is beaten with a spade by Brother Wilde, one of the two guardians. A first escape attempt fails in the confusing mire area. In the case of misconduct, the householder allows the group to collectively punish the group, for example by rationing the food or a smoking ban. He leaves it to the pupils to personally punish the "guilty one", and then comforts it afterwards. Since Wolfgang does not like anything, he still has conflicts with Bernd, who asks him to stick to the rules for the benefit of the group. Wolfgang hands a letter to Angelika, the daughter of the house father, asking his mother to take him out of the home because he can not stand it anymore. She claims to her father that she had been approached by Wolfgang, but she accepts the letter. Later the housefather finds the letter; The group will be punished with food deprivation. Wolfgang tries to steal tomatoes from the father's garden, but is discovered by him and submerged in the water barrel until shortly before drowning. Since he snubs Brother Wilde by still harvesting and eating tomatoes, he was beaten with the baton, but impressed by his unbrokenness of the group. Wolfgang is sent a "Hedgehog slice" by his mother for a birthday. Already when he was picked up by the youth office, she had given him one. The householder keeps him for himself and eats what the boy is discovering. Bernd tries to take Wolfgang's hopes of returning to his parents' home and lights up the photo of Wolfgang's mother. During the recreation, there was an uprising against Brother Wilde when he tried to take away the trunk radio from the young people. Anton sings from the Gospel "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child", who previously played on the radio in the version of Richie Havens, and the group is part of the "Freedom" calls. On Christmas Eve it comes to the scandal: Brother Krapp, the overseer, who apparently showed much understanding for the pupils, leaves the home. Apparently, he has sexually abused Mattis, who does not want to. At the service before Wolfgang got by Angelika in the bell bag the house key. With this he opens the door, but is posed by his father. In the basement Wolfgang hangs on chains from the ceiling; Barely conscious, he has visions. When he was shown in the opening credits with his mother in an exhilarating mood on the beach, an incestuous relationship is indicated in this scene. In a conflict in the moor, Wolfgang injures Bruder Wilde's eye with the spade. He uses the situation to flee with Anton. They find themselves from the moor, and come in a horse transport to Osnabrück. It turns out that Anton does not even come from there and does not have any parents either; Wolfgang does not take him home. Meanwhile his mother and his stepfather got a child. Soon Brockmann appeared to take Wolfgang back to Freistatt; Anton had already been took up. Wolfgang's mother insists on watching the home. Arrived in Freistatt, the stepfather locks the car after Wolfgang has left. Although Wolfgang shows his wounds and implores him not to leave him there, the parents drive away in the car. Brother Wilde takes revenge on Wolfgang, apparently burying him alive with the help of Bernd. Brockmann, the householder, appears unexpectedly and takes the unconscious Wolfgang out of the "grave". Angelika says good-bye to Wolfgang as she goes to Hamburg to study. It comes to tenderness until he tries to rape her. When Anton hangs himself, the pupils attack Brother Wilde, who wants to go back to the agenda. When he was lying on the ground, the Heiminsassen fled in their night shirts, except for Wolfgang, who remained with Anton. His will seems to be broken, it adapts itself, and may, for example, call for roll calls in the morning. One day he is released, because his stepfather has been fatally injured.

Maari moves out of the house and notices a tantric (Pillikoda) who digs out the buried child in the graveyard and chases him. Meanwhile, Maari is appointed as one of the prominent members of the village Panchayat. Things begin to change as Chelli and Maari start living a happy life. By this time, the long-lost Ponnan returns to the village and finds both of them together. A dejected Ponnan leaves the place without informing her. Further, when he comes to know about their marriage, he decides to keep himself away from Chelli to avoid further complications. He goes to Perumooppan's house and leaves a shell that he brought from the deep sea. When Perumooppan sees this, he gets to know that Ponnan is still alive. In the meanwhile, Chelli delivers a baby boy. Since the baby looks dark and bears a close resemblance to Ponnan, the villagers label the child as an illegitimate one. Maari too starts believing that the child was not paid to him. A dejected Maari goes to a nearby temple during which he comes across Pillikoda who asks him to bring a first male child of any family and the shell which is kept in the Pampadevi temple for exchange of some gold coins. Maari accepts the deal and takes the child and the surface and sets out to meet Pillikoda. Meanwhile, Chelli notices her child is missing and runs to the Pampadevi temple and starts praying to the god to save her child. She then goes to Perumooppan's house to seek his help, where she finds the shell which was brought by Ponnan. Perumooppan advises her to take the surface and keep it inside the temple. He also tells Ponnan to save Chelli's child. When he is about to hand over the child to Pillikoda, Maari reforms and starts fighting with him. In the event, he gets killed by Pillikoda. During this time, Ponnan arrives at the place and fights with Pillikoda and almost kills him. On the other hand, Chelli stands on the seashore and starts praying the god with the shell in one hand and a lamp in another hand. When Ponnan returns to the shore with her child and Maari's corpse, Pillikoda throws a sickle and kills Ponnan. The boat arrives at the beach with the child along with the bodies of both Ponnan and Maari. Pillikoda gets destroyed by a fire. Chelli becomes infuriated and asks the sea deity about the killings of her husband and Ponnan. She continues to stay on the shore. Her father erects a statue of her holding the lamp shell on both her hands and displays at the coast. ===== Parisian Romy (Diane Kruger) and her husband Richard (Gilles Lellouche) are vacationing in California.
