Wang, who is not in, made a typo entering the lottery number more than a month ago, which rendered He Sanshui's winning ticket useless. When He Sanshui asked for the ¥9500 win at an earlier occasion, she attacked him and drove him out of her store. This time, He Sanshui returns with a stun gun flashlight and his dimwitted cousin He Damiao a.k.a. Tire (Wang Dongfang), and is determined to get his ¥9500 "back". At this moment, Li's goofy roommate Zhu Liao (Zhao Yingjun) who wants to record a funny prank video also storms in, wearing a pantyhose on his face and wielding a knife, but is quickly tasered down by He Sanshui. He Sanshui proceeds to the cashier counter and realizes there isn't enough cash in the cash register. He and Tire rope up everyone else in the soundproof back room—which has a complete Karaoke system—and taking their place behind the register begin to run the store, funneling the profits into their own pockets. The hungry Tire is getting preoccupied with bag after bag of junk food (some of which have expired) and Karaoke singing in the back, so Li—whom He Sanshui calls "Little Steel Teeth" because he wears a dental brace—is brought back out to help with the work. Some time later, Tang's escape attempt, during which she tasers down Tire, is spoiled by Zhu's foolishness and He Sanshui's second stun gun. Wang suddenly returns to the store from her Mahjong games—obvious having lost all her money—and immediately begins to attack He Sanshui with a bag of weight before Tire tasers her down. However, holding her (and her French Bulldog Wang Wang) hostage does nothing to the business, which has been slow tonight. In an effort to boost sales He Sanshui decides to give 50% discount to all store items, and business quickly perks up after a taxicab chauffeur (Cao Li) helps spread the news to his colleagues. During this time, Tang discovers voyeuristic photos of hers in Li's phone and realizes that Li likes her. With ¥3.50 to go before their ¥9500 goal (taking into account that Tire has eaten ¥118.10 of food), a Guanzhong dialect-speaking, gun-toting robber (Zhang Jiayi) on the run arrives to retrieve a diamond his partner left in the ice in the store freezer. Unable to find his diamond he takes everyone hostage and is in the middle of having everyone strip, when Yaozi (Ye Qian)—the store's delivery man who has fallen asleep in the warehouse—barges out from the rear. The group tries to subdue the gunman, but fails because He Sanshui's stun gun has run out of battery. When the diamond is finally discovered during the subsequent search, the dog Wang Wang picks it up and runs outside. This is when the gunman realizes that the police have already surrounded the store: it was Tang who secretly texted a policeman shopper (Li Weijian). The gunman runs back inside, grabs Tang and points his gun to her head. Li saves Tang but is shot by the gunman, who is accidentally electrocuted by a loose wire. Some time later, the policeman returns to the store and learns that Li—no longer wearing a brace and glasses—and Tang have been dating, while He Sanshui and Wang are honeymooning in Hainan. They watch on TV that Zhu has become a famous actor, and Tire his agent. ===== Two young boys and fellow juvenile delinquents, Travis and Harrison, having run away from home, come across an apparently abandoned cop car. Finding the key, they hijack the vehicle and go on a joyride. The next scene takes place earlier: After removing his uniform's shirt and leaving his handgun in the back seat of his police car, Sheriff Kretzer (Kevin Bacon) removes a body from the trunk of his police car, drags it to a covered pit in the woods, and drops the corpse into the pit, pouring a bag of quicklime on it. When he returns to the site at which he'd left his police car, the vehicle is gone, and he calls the dispatcher, telling her that his radio is down, but he can be reached on his cell phone. Meanwhile, the boys speed down the wrong lane, narrowly missing a woman driving in the oncoming lane. At a trailer park, Kretzer steals a car, but, after avoiding arrest, he abandons it, replacing it with his own pickup truck, when he arrives home. His dispatcher informs him of a report of a stolen sheriff's car driven by two boys under age 10. He orders her to ignore the report and has her tell his deputies to switch their radios to a different channel, before he uses the regular channel to call the boys, but they do not answer. They are in a nearby field, playing with Kretzer's weapons and gear, which they found in the back seat. The boys hear thumping from the car's trunk and open it to see a man covered in blood, his arms and legs restrained in the same manner as were those of the corpse. He pleads with the boys to help him, claiming that the sheriff is the "bad guy". At home, Kretzer dumps bags of cocaine into his toilet and packs a bag of cash. He hears a voice on the radio and runs out to talk to Harrison, to find out where the boys are. The man from the trunk has locked the boys in the back seat of the cop car. He threatens the boys' families, telling the boys not to tell the man who owns the car where he is hiding and then takes cover near a windmill. Kretzer arrives and sees the open front door of the cop car, sensing that something is not right, and ducks behind the car. The woman whose car the boys almost hit earlier shows up and walks towards the car, screaming at the boys. She sees Kretzer, who claims to be injured, and asks her to look for his keys (in the direction where he suspects the man is hiding). The woman spots the man from the trunk and points at him, screaming. The man shoots the woman, prompting a gunfight with Kretzer. The sheriff and the man from the trunk shoot each other. The boys escape the car by shooting out the window. Travis is hit by one of the ricochets. With night falling and not knowing how to turn on the vehicle's headlights, Harrison continues to speed down the road, with Travis in the back seat. The sheriff regains consciousness and enters his truck. He taunts the boys on the radio while chasing them and tries to run them off the road. Harrison sees a cow and swerves to avoid it, but the sheriff drives straight into it, which ends the chase. As Harrison speeds onward with Travis, the lights of a town appear on the horizon. The dispatcher attempts to raise the sheriff over the radio. Harrison replies, "Hello". ===== Alice and Sandrine are sisters.

While out shopping, they run into Gordon "Gordo" Moseley (Joel Edgerton), Simon's former high school classmate. Gordo begins repeatedly dropping in unannounced and delivering gifts, such as expensive bottles of wine and a group of koi for their pond. His presence makes Simon tense and uncomfortable, but Robyn sees no problem. Gordo invites Simon and Robyn and another couple to his large, elegant home, but when Simon and Robyn arrive, Gordo tells them that the other couple has cancelled. Gordo exits abruptly to deal with a work problem, leaving the Callems alone in his house and making Simon more suspicious. When Gordo returns, Simon tells Gordo to stay away from them. The next day, Robyn finds the koi dead and their dog missing. When Simon drives to Gordo's house to confront him, he discovers the home actually belongs to another couple. In the days following, Robyn begins to suspect that she is not alone in the house while Simon is at work, finding faucets on and hearing footsteps moving around her. Unable to sleep, she steals prescription pills from her friend and neighbor Lucy (Allison Tolman). That night, the dog suddenly returns, and Robyn finds a formal letter of apology from Gordo in the mail. The message ends with a note to Simon that says Gordo is "willing to let bygones be bygones" in regards to an event from years prior. When Robyn confronts him about the mysterious phrase, Simon claims he does not know what it refers to. After a well-received meeting with the CEOs of his company, Simon asks his boss about a promotion and is told that his only competition is his coworker Danny McDonald. Meanwhile, Robyn's increasing paranoia while home alone causes her to faint. She wakes up in her bed the next morning and finds Simon in the kitchen with her stolen pills, which we discover was a struggle for Robyn back in Chicago. She asks Simon to help with her anxiety by making peace with Gordo, but he assures her Gordo is gone, telling her the pills are making her paranoid. After some time, life improves and Robyn becomes pregnant. While out shopping, however, she sees Gordo watching from outside the shop. At her baby shower, Simon's sister tells her that, back in high school, Simon and his friend Greg (David Denman) reported that Gordo had been molested by an older boy, which led to Gordo getting bullied and transferring schools. Robyn later searches Simon's office and discovers that he has run background checks on Danny McDonald and Gordo, who has spent his life in and out of prison. Robyn seeks out Greg, who reveals the molestation story was fabricated by Simon, calling him a bully with a "real mean streak." Greg also reveals that, as a result of the false report, Gordo's father thought Gordo was gay and tried to burn him alive, leading to his father's arrest for attempted murder and Gordo being sent away to military school. When Robyn asks why Simon would have done such a thing, Greg replies, "because he could." Robyn confronts Simon about Gordo, but he denies responsibility, blaming Robyn's suggestions of reconciliation on her own past traumas of being bullied at school. However, at Robyn's behest, Simon tracks down Gordo and half-heartedly apologizes. Gordo does not accept, knowing Simon is insincere, and he warns Simon that the past is not done with him yet. Furious, Simon attacks and threatens Gordo. Back at home, Simon lies to Robyn, saying that Gordo accepted his apology. Simon is promoted at his job, but at his celebration party, Danny McDonald hurls rocks at Simon's house and shatters a window. He accuses Simon of fabricating information and ruining his career in order to get the promotion. After Danny is allowed to flee, Robyn goes into labor and gives birth to a boy at the hospital. The next morning, Simon is fired for lying about McDonald, and Robyn tells him that she wants to separate. Simon returns home to find another gift box on the front porch, which holds a bassinet containing three small packages, consisting of a key to their house, an audio recording of Simon and Robyn making fun of Gordo while they were left alone at Gordo's "house", and footage shot from inside Simon and Robyn's home that shows Gordo standing over Robyn when she had fainted earlier, seemingly about to sexually assault her. Gordo records himself wearing the mask of a monkey (a lifelong fear for Simon) as he touches an unconscious Robyn on their bed, before the camera cuts away. At the same time, Gordo visits Robyn at the hospital to congratulate her with a bandaged eye and his arm in a sling. He tells her that Simon caused his injuries. Simon rushes to the hospital but just misses Gordo, who smirks at him as the elevator doors close and then disappears. Gordo calls Simon soon after to taunt him, refusing to confirm or deny whether or not he raped Robyn and fathered the baby, just as Simon refused to come clean about the molestation story all those years before. Simon finds Robyn and the baby in the hospital nursery, but she refuses to see him. With his marriage over and his career destroyed, Simon breaks down as Gordo watches through a window and walks away, tossing away the sling from his arm. ===== While on a routine intelligence gathering trip for The Campus in Tehran, Iran, Jack Ryan, Jr. visits his old college friend Seth Gregory for lunch. After their conversation, Gregory leaves with a cryptic comment that “there are steaks in the freezer.” The next day, Ryan is met by Raymond Wellesley of British intelligence and Matthew Spellman, his American counterpart, who tell him that Gregory, who works with them on an intelligence operation, had gone rogue; they warn him to stay away from his old friend. This piques Ryan's interest. Ryan later goes to Gregory's apartment, but is later abducted by an unknown group of men. He manages to escape just as a mysterious woman pulls up in a car to fetch him away from his abductors.

They return to his apartment and retrieve an old document from a safe, which combination was found with “steaks in the freezer”. Ryan and Kashani later go to Azerbaijan, where they are met by Gregory and Spellman. Ryan discovers that his old friend is an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency, and that his father, Paul, was a legend in the CIA until he was branded as a traitor and committed suicide. He further finds out that Gregory is taking part in an intelligence operation with Wellesley and Spellman, which is to facilitate a coup in Dagestan, and that the document he and Kashani retrieved has coordinates for internet hubs to be used during the coup (Gregory's father had originally written the document). However, Dagestani interior minister Rebaz Medzhid, who is being lined up to be Dagestan's president, refuses to participate unless his daughter Aminat, who has been kidnapped, is rescued. Ryan agrees to extract her from her captors in Scotland, and later helps discredit a smear story planted by the Russians against Medzhid about his involvement in atrocities against Dagestanis years ago by rescuing the “witness”, who is being coerced by the Russians. Ryan's boss, Gerry Hendley, sends his cousin Dominic “Dom” Caruso to help him. They later discover that Wellesley plans to sabotage the coup by using armored trucks named Krasukhas that have the ability to jam electronic signals coming from the internet hubs that are to be used in the coup. In addition, he had also arranged for the kidnappings of Aminat and the “witness” to the Russian smear story. He and Caruso later destroy the Krasukhas. Later, Russian President Valeri Volodin deploys border troops to Makhachkala in an effort to stop the coup. Ryan sniffs out a mole in Medzhid's security detail; Gregory is killed in the resulting altercation with the mole, who is one of Medzhid's bodyguards. Meanwhile, Medzhid makes a last-ditch effort to stop the Russian troops by appealing to their leader, suggesting that he is being manipulated by Volodin and telling him to go back and report no disturbance in Makhachkala. The colonel agrees and the standoff is averted. Ryan, Caruso and Kashani later find out that Wellesley had misused government funds and was acting on behalf of the Russians. After being reported by the trio to the British, Wellesley is arrested by British agents as he tries to escape Azerbaijan. ===== Justujoo is about a lawyer, Lalit Sharma (Harsh Chhaya), his wife Leela (Pallavi Joshi) and her sister Neerja (Arpita Pandey).

Intending to do some professional writing, she runs into her cousin Tune, now in his 90s, whom she had not seen since she was last in Sunbury thirty years before. Tune tells Elizabeth she ought to write down the story of the old days of the town, which causes Elizabeth to recall her cousin Steve Van Doren and her own mistake that contributed to his death.

Right before Kate joins her classmates to wait for the school bus, she is informed by her parents that they are no longer able to pay for her college education due to another one of her father's failed investments, much to Kate's disappointment. After a morning spent at an art museum, the class stops at a restaurant for lunch. Although Kate and Abby find the food served repulsive and sickening, their classmates willingly consume it. Kate and Abby decide to eat granola bars Abby brought instead of the served food. While the class is on its way to its next stop after leaving the restaurant, everyone on the bus except for Kate and Abby become nauseous due to the lunch they ate and start vomiting. The teacher, having also eaten the food, brings the class to a motel to spend the night and recover. As Kate and Abby are in the motel asking for rooms, Abby notices an envelope on the counter with the names Viceroy and Monarch written on them. Meanwhile, Ari (Matt Walsh), gang leader and the owner of a nearby roller skating rink, meets with a driver known as Wheels (Owen Smith) and negotiates a deal. Wheels must drive the two art thieves Ari has hired, who go by the code names Viceroy and Monarch, to help them steal a painting that Ari plans to sell. In return, Wheels will receive a sum of money from the exchange. Wheels agrees to the deal, but on the condition that he will cut off all connections with Ari after this final job. Ari informs Wheels of the motel where the art thieves are to be picked up, which is revealed to be the same motel where Kate and Abby are staying. Kate and Abby, bored with staying in their room, decide to sneak out of the motel to entertain themselves. To avoid identification, Kate names herself and Abby Viceroy and Monarch when ordering a ride. At the same time, the real Viceroy (Julianna Guill) and Monarch (Judy Marte) are preparing to leave the motel for their job to steal the painting Ari hired them to steal. Kate and Abby exit their rooms and find Wheels waiting in his car in the parking lot. With Wheels thinking that Kate and Abby are Viceroy and Monarch and Kate and Abby thinking that Wheels is their driver, Wheels lets them in and drives off while, unbeknownst to them, two of Ari's henchmen follow. Immediately after they leave, Brian, the driver Kate ordered, shows up and picks up the real Viceroy and Monarch. Kate and Abby get Wheels to take them to a thrift store as their first stop, while Brian drops Viceroy and Monarch off at the painting's location. Viceroy and Monarch manage to obtain the painting and continue their operation as Kate and Abby continue their fun night out. They almost get caught by the police, but Monarch manages to take them down while Brian watches in surprise and tries to drive away. Viceroy and Monarch hold Brian at gunpoint and demand that he start talking. When Brian tells them that he is just a driver for a ride-share company, Viceroy and Monarch realize that they got into the wrong car and reveal to Brian that they are in fact undercover FBI agents. Meanwhile, as Kate and Abby are getting tattoos, Wheels realizes that they are not actually Viceroy and Monarch and tells them that they have to leave immediately, just as Ari calls his henchmen (who have been following Kate and Abby, thinking they are Viceroy and Monarch) and tells them to bring Viceroy and Monarch to him right away. Wheels tries to help Kate and Abby escape, but the three encounter Ari's henchmen. Wheels tells Kate and Abby to run while he attempts to fight off the henchmen. However, despite their efforts to escape, Kate and Abby are captured and brought to Ari, who believes they are Viceroy and Monarch. While Abby attempts to explain that they are students, Kate lies and tells Ari that they are Viceroy and Monarch and they have what he wants. Ari holds Abby hostage and demands that Kate get the painting, threatening to kill Abby should she fail. Despite Abby's pleas for Kate to stay with her, Kate runs back to the motel to get help, where she meets the real Viceroy and Monarch, who have been going through the motel's security footage to find who took the ride meant for them. With no other choice, Viceroy and Monarch get Kate to pose as Monarch (and gets Kate to pose Abby as Viceroy) and deliver the painting to Ari. As Ari waits for his buyer to arrive and authenticate the painting, Wheels (whose name he has already revealed as Andy) comes in and attempts to convince Ari that Kate and Abby are not Viceroy and Monarch. In response, Ari shows Wheels the painting Kate delivered to him, completely torpedoing Wheels' credibility. Ari's buyer comes and authenticates the painting, but just as she finishes, a clown under Ari's extortion arrives and initiates a shootout. In the ensuing gunfire, Viceroy and Monarch and take down Ari's henchmen and buyer. Ari prepares to shoot Kate and Abby for snitching, but Wheels tackles Ari before he does so. As the buyer tries to escape, Brian, who has been waiting outside, runs over her with his car. Viceroy and Monarch come in and meet Abby and Wheels for the first time, and reveal that they were working for an undercover unit specializing in recovering lost and stolen artwork.

He is ambushed by agents of his own Wazir, Jaudur. His royal seal is stolen and an innocent man is murdered in his place. Arriving in Baghdad, dressed in rags and hungry, he befriends Hassan, magician and thief. Stealing suitable robes, Taj and Hassan present themselves to the Caliph, where Taj makes an immediate impression on Yasmine. Wazir Jaudur arrives on a flying carpet to join the suitors. Jaudur, bearing Taj's royal seal, claims to be king following the alleged murder of Prince Taj; he accuses Taj of being an impostor. Taj challenges Jaudur to a duel, but he loses. Jaudur is protected from injury because his soul is hidden at a secret location, making him immortal. The Caliph, wanting to believe Taj but bound by custom, is forced to accept Jaudur's claim. Perizidah reminds him of a prophecy given at Yasmine's birth that her wedding would bring great wealth. Using this as an excuse to stall for time, the Caliph sends all the suitors on a quest "to find that object in all the world that has the most value", and return in three moons. Hassan, convinced of Taj's sincerity because of Jaudur's repeated murder attempts, joins him on the quest.

Hassan resists the insulting chants with more humour than Taj, and his fear prevents him from intervening with the serpent illusion. He is nearly turned aside by chests of treasure, but the sight of the statue of Taj refocuses him. At the temple, he finds the eye is out of reach. The inscription at his feet, "The truth lies within thy reach," causes him to realize that the eye only appears out of reach and is actually in his grasp. Taj is restored.

Raised by his grandfather after his parents both died (mother from a blood clot in the brain, his father from cancer) when he was young, Andy is bullied by his classmates and dominated by his obnoxious best friend Louie. When he turns seventeen, the Andy (who is weak and skinny) begins smoking and suddenly experiences short bursts of what appear, to him, as being super strength. Shortly afterwards, Andy's grandfather provides him with a box containing belongings of his father that he had kept secret. These include a journal, that explain that as a kid, Andy was exposed to experimental hormones by his father to ensure that his son would not be frail and weak like he was. This causes Louie to believe that smoking causes Andy to become super strong. Louie then convinces him to become an amateur super-hero with him as his sidekick. Seeking to find out more about his father, Andy requests that his aunt send him anything that she might have that belonged to his father. His aunt sends him a box that contains a "death ray" that disintegrates anyone shot by its ray. Much of the story deals with Andy's relationship with his grandfather, who is suffering from the onset of dementia and his black nurse/aid Delia, who Andy secretly has a crush on. Louie becomes more and more obsessed with having Andy use the death ray to kill local bullies and troublemakers, such as the abusive father of a girl Louie has a crush on. As Louie and Andy drift apart, Andy befriends Sonny, the ex- boyfriend of Louie's sister who attempts to help Andy cope with his grandfather's mental decline. Ultimately, Louie attempts to crush Andy's head in with a rock in order to permanently steal the death ray from him. Andy is forced to kill Louie, disintegrating him as a result. Afterwards, Andy's grandfather is placed into a group home, Andy is given custody of Louie's dog by his family (who do not suspect Andy of foul play), and Andy and the dog are forced to leave school in order to move in with his aunt. The story then skips to the early 2000s; Andy is now in his late 40s and is bitter and cynical about life; twice divorced, he has since adopted Louie's nihilistic view on life and the death ray and repeatedly moves from town to town, to avoid suspicion for the murders he commits with the gun. Having used the death ray to murder the men that both of his wives cheated on him with, and having failed at a relationship with his high school crush Dusty, Andy sold the death ray to a pawn shop and moved on with his life. However, after his neighbor's pit bull murdered Louie's dog and then laughs about it, Andy seeks to retrieve the gun and murder his neighbor. Andy convinces Sonny to help him track down the death ray (which Sonny believes is just a toy gun) and along the way, Sonny visits Dusty for Andy and relays an apology to him for unstated incident that ended their budding relationship. Andy murders his neighbor with the death ray, off-panel and ultimately moves back to the town where he grew up. Once he arrives back to the town, Andy meets the main bully who terrorized him growing up and who, in their last meeting, told Andy that he hoped his grandfather would die from his dementia. Andy resists the urge to murder the now grown up bully, but comments that the bully's now mature and less jerkish behavior was a lie. The story ends with a three part epilogue: *The first part has the ghosts of four of Andy's victims that Andy murdered for selfish reasons and which he regretted: a drug dealer who sold drugs to Delia's daughter, two of the men who slept with his ex-wives, and Louie. *Sonny, Dusty, Delia, and Andy's grandfather describing Andy: while Delia and Sonny have favorable views of Andy, Dusty refuses to comment while Andy's grandfather is consumed with sorrow over his grandson being a murderer. *Three endings for the graphic novel, told in one panel with text that describes the endings: **Ending One has Andy going insane and using the Ray Gun to murder every living soul on Earth until only he exists **Ending Two has Andy committing suicide and the world going on as normal, with no one ever knowing about Andy's death ray ***Andy dates a divorced woman in his apartment building, murdering her ex-husband with the death ray among other people who annoy him. Andy's relationship with the divorced woman eventually fails and he buries the death ray in the woods to avoid any further temptation to use it, after he realizes that he no longer has the available funds to relocate at the drop of a hat. Andy adopts multiple dogs over the coming decades, and ultimately dies from cancer in his late 70s, alone and childless. The final set of panels has Andy and his dog watching fireworks in the distance, while repeating a mantra from earlier in the book (during a fantasy sequence where Andy imagines life as a super-hero, with Louie as his sidekick) saying that he will always be available to help a stranger out if they are in trouble. ===== Maverick Brander, a newly elected Congressman from the fictional town of Red Dog, Texas, moves to Washington, D.C. to serve in the United States House of Representatives.

Investigations reveal various jealousies and passions. ===== Liliane goes in China for the first time in her life to repatriate the body of her son, who died in an accident. Immersed in this culture so long ago, this trip marked by mourning becomes a journey of initiation. ===== The dramatis personae and the plot of this play come from the - rich in mythical material - era of Minoan Crete. King Minos, Queen Pasiphae, the craftsman from Athens Daedalus and his son, Icarus, are the protagonists of this play (priests of Mother-Goddess and Jupiter-Taurus, chorus of warriors, priestesses and prisoners are also present).Θεόδωρος Ξύδης, 1971, σ. 849. Minos, a representative-symbol of the emerging patriarchal religion and oppression of his subjects (representing evil and tyranny in general) tries to sideline the existing matriarchal cult of Mother- Goddess (the primordial matriarchal worldview of the Minoans, represented by the persona of Pasiphae, a sensitive female figure) and kill – as a tribute - the envoys sent from Athens (including Theseus), being himself now transformed into a bestial Minotaur (symbol of absolute male brutal force acting on a dual level: authoritarian and sexually). Finally, the technician (the artist, the critical force that will symbolically resist to the arbitrariness and violence of power, as a free and revolutionary spirit which wants to awaken the people) Daedalus will organize a mutiny to prevent the suffering while Theseus will release the captives and will cancel the plans of Minos. The final scene (the palace and the entire city of Knossos are being burnt) is equally dramatical with a tragedy (containing profound connections with ancient Greek tragedy), Daedalus and his son Icarus will escape flying with artificial wings (like the homonymous legend). This play has diverse multifaceted connections with ancient tragedy - especially those written by Aeschylus – in terms of structure, motifs, form, always modified and used according to the theatrical and conceptual targeting and aspirations of Sikelianos. For example, the presentation of all the leading dramatis personae (especially Minos and Pasiphae) as masks of the archetype "Dionysos" (which applies to all the tragedies and the general perception of the core of tragedy by Sikelianos) and their gradual integration into this archetypal figure through a process of initiation, the motif of tragic silence and the apollonian – initially – chorus that completes the drama, breaking the straight course of Time and making the return to the Earth and Life, the identification of Pasiphae with Moon on a symbolic level. A prominent role in the play`s motifs play the "three nights", which are the key stages in the spiritual evolution of Daedalus (who is also a poet and philosopher as an artist). A major issue that researchers were focused on is the relationship with the novel by Merezhkovsky "The Birth of Gods. Tutankhamen in Crete", which moves in the same environment and mythical world. In summary, apart from any (easily identifiable and widely accepted) common symbols and motifs, the Merezhkovsky addresses the core of the play with religious thought and willingness to compromise the historical and philosophical-spiritual disputes arising from the clash of the primitive matriarchal with the patriarchal element via a sequence that leads to the spirit of Christianity (within this mythical scenery), non-relating, and thus linking with the historical -and political - significations of Sikelianos, powered by the timeless social injustice, the domination of the authoritarian element (the barbaric male within the confines of patriarchy) and updating of the myth in the contemporary historical context (the conqueror is identified with violence and power at the same time).Γιώργος Βαρθαλίτης, Σικελιανός και Μερεζκόφσκυ: μια (όχι και τόσο) παράξενη συνάντηση, Ο καθρέφτης της Ηρωδιάδος. (Κέντρωνες για τη λογοτεχνία), «Ευθύνη»/ Αναλόγιο λγ΄, Αθήνα 2011, σ. 49 - 54. ===== Constable Peter Grant and Detective Chief Inspector Nightingale are called to investigate a road traffic accident involving Robert Weil. The investigating officers found human blood from a body in the early state of rigor mortis in his car. Subsequent enquiries lead to a shallow grave containing the body of a young woman killed with and disfigured by a shotgun whose fingers have been removed. Peter initially assumes Weil is a serial killer, but he and Nightingale learn that Weil is on their list of Little Crocodiles, members of an Oxford University dining club who were taught magic by Geoffrey Wheatcroft. Meanwhile, PC Lesley May, still on indefinite sick leave after suffering a magical attack that resulted in catastrophic facial injuries in Rivers of London, returns to The Folly after her latest round of reconstructive surgery. Nightingale instructs Peter and Lesley in the art of magical staff-making in the hopes of drawing out the Faceless Man. Sergeant Jaget Kumar calls in Peter to help with a case. Richard Lewis, on the Little Crocodile watch list, committed suicide by train while showing signs of being controlled through magic. Peter uncovers a rare German Grimoire handed in by a book dealer, who suspected it was stolen. CCTV coverage of the surrounding area leads Peter to the suspected thief, one Patrick Mulhern. Peter pays him a call but finds Mulhern dead by magic. While the house yields no clues, Mulhern's theft of one of Erik Stomberg's books takes Peter to the architect's home, West Hill House. Skygarden Tower is regarded as Stromberg's most significant work. Stromberg habitually sat drinking coffee beside his brass-bound telescope, and Peter uses a spell to see what Stromberg's telescope once revealed: Skygarden Tower in extreme close-up. Taking a break from investigation to provide a visible police presence, Peter, Lesley, Nightingale and Abigail – as sole member of the Folly's junior wizard outreach programme – attend the Summer Court of the God and Goddess of the River Thames (upper and lower reaches respectively) at Bernie Spain Gardens, doing so in their capacity as keepers of the Queen's peace. Returning to the plan to bait a trap for the Faceless Man, Peter and Lesley attend a 'Nazareth', or Goblin Market, a mobile event where the fey and magical practitioners meet to do business and socialise. There they recognise Varenka Debroslova, the late Geofrey Albert Woodville-Gentle's live-in nurse, who attacks them. When Nightingale hears Peter's account and examines the massive property damage she inflicted, he identifies Debroslava as Nochnye Koldunyi or a Night Witch. Follow-up of leads at Southwark Council convinces the team that there is a connection to Skygarden Tower, so Nightingale informally authorises Peter and Lesley to infiltrate the tower. When Peter finally manages to get into the tower's garden, he discovers river spirit Nicky gamboling with an impish girl wearing a Mary Quant dress and a battered straw hat who plays hide and seek, generally acting more like a child than a woman, who the bemused Peter is convinced is some kind of fey but exactly what kind he can't work out. Effra explains the impish girl, named Sky, is a tree nymph subject to the seasons, and thus in spring is in a childlike state and not available for interrogation. Peter bridles at this but still manages to establish the tower (which she says makes 'happy music') is being visited by 'lots of lorries'. Peter discovers a book Folly archivist Professor Postmartin thinks significant showed up in connection to Stromberg's library. The title Wege der industriellen Nutzung von Magié (Towards the Industrial Use of Magic) convinces Peter that Stromberg built Skygarden as a magical experiment, but the details remain hazy. Nightingale reveals Dr Walid has found chimeric cells on the body of the young woman buried near Robert Weil's 'accident'. While Peter's theory fails to convince Nightingale and Lesley (possibly because he uses the simile of a Terry's Chocolate Orange), Peter remains convinced the Stadkrone or 'city crown' is intended to act as a magical relief valve. Lesley (and Zach) retire for the night while Peter watches TV (with the sound up) until they are all roused by a piercing scream. Donning their Metvests and grabbing collapsible batons, Peter and Lesley rush down to the garden and discover a biker trying to restart a chainsaw to finish ring-barking an ornamental cherry. Throwing the saw at Peter he misses but manages to escape, while Lesley examines Sky, confirming she has died, apparently of natural causes. In no time, Nicky – resident goddess – arrives distraught and angry, followed by Oberon who appears at the run, sword in hand. Nightingale, warns him against any interfering with the Queen's peace, since this would breach ‘the agreement’. Dr Walid, summoned as the only 'Falcon' competent medical specialist, confirms the man apparently died when his lungs filled with water, but of what kind he can't determine without tests. Peter and Lesley head to Essex to interview the Transit van's owner. Finding the farm given as the owner's address seemingly deserted, Lesley and Peter investigate and discover newly constructed sheds. Leaving with all due, haste Peter and Lesley walk out and into the arms of a pair of thugs, one with a shotgun. Peter manages to deflect the shotgun so it discharges harmlessly, but the Night Witch arrives and, despite Peter raising a magical shield, effortlessly knocks him down and detains the pair, hoping to ambush Nightingale. At the conclusion of the battle, after the hostages have been rescued, the Night Witch is in custody, and the local force arrives. Under questioning, the Night Witch, AKA Varvara Sidorovna, explains she was captured during the Great Patriotic War, and became a part of the Organisation Todt slave-labour effort to build Hitler's Atlantic Wall. In the confusion that followed the war she was able to avoid repatriation and obtain genuine identity documents and settled down to live a more or less normal life. Lesley and Peter return to Skygarden Tower where Peter discovers a recently vacated apartment filled with explosives. Peter and Lesley evacuate the building, with Peter taking the upper floors. On the roof Peter finds the Faceless Man waiting. Peter directs a magical attack at him which the Faceless Man effortlessly deflects, not understanding he wasn't the intended target, the charges go off and the Stadkrone finally fulfils its intended purpose. Since the building is in imminent danger of collapse the Faceless Man flees the scene by jumping off the roof. Peter follows and catches the Faceless Man, who is concentrating on magically breaking his own fall and cannot knock Peter off. Upon landing Peter handcuffs the Faceless Man triumphantly. Peter is then tasered in the back by Lesley, who is now working for the Faceless Man, and Peter is left reeling. ===== Stitchers follows Kirsten Clark, who has been recruited into a government agency to be "stitched" into the memories of people recently deceased to investigate murders and mysteries that otherwise would have gone unsolved. Dr. Cameron Goodkin, a brilliant neuroscientist, assists Kirsten in the secret program headed by Maggie Baptiste, a skilled covert operator. The program also includes Linus Ahluwalia, a bioelectrical engineer and communications technician. Camille, Kirsten's roommate and a computer science grad student, is also recruited to assist Kirsten as a "stitcher". LAPD Detective Quincy Fisher is recruited and added to the team after crossing paths with Kirsten. ===== Three sisters, Sachi Kouda, Yoshino Kouda and Chika Kouda, live in the house of their grandparents in Kamakura. Their parents are divorced. One day, they receive news of the death of their father whom they have not seen in fifteen years. At the funeral, they meet their half-sister Suzu Asano. Suzu is living with her stepmother and stepbrother. Observing the behaviour of the stepmother at the funeral (she tries to pass on the responsibility of addressing the guests to Suzu), Sachi guesses that Suzu looked after their father as he died, not the stepmother. At the train station Sachi spontaneously invites Suzu to come and live with them. Suzu joins the local football team and becomes popular as the relationship develops. ===== A British father and daughter work a confidence trick up and down the luxury hotels of the French Riviera by posing as a newly married couple. Trouble begins, however, when the daughter falls in love with a tax investigator. ===== Matthew Mercer provided the voice for protagonist Jack Cooper. Jack Cooper is a rifleman in the Militia. He aspires to become a Titan Pilot and is receiving off-the-books training from Captain Tai Lastimosa to prepare for his candidacy. The two are part of a Militia force which attacks the IMC-held planet of Typhon. In the initial battle, the Apex Predators, a group of mercenaries led by Kuben Blisk and contracted by the leader of the IMC's science division, General Marder, mortally wound Lastimosa and incapacitate his Vanguard-class Titan, BT-7274. With his dying breath, Lastimosa transfers control of BT to Cooper. BT explains that Cooper has also inherited Lastimosa's mission, Special Operation 217: to rendezvous with Major Eli Anderson and assist in the completion of their original assignment. Anderson's last known position is at an IMC laboratory. BT and Cooper are forced to detour, first through a water reclamation facility then a manufacturing plant, killing the Apex Predators Kane and Ash along the way. BT and Cooper continue to the IMC laboratory only to find it destroyed, with corpses artificially aged due to time-travel distortion scattered across the facility. Cooper finds Anderson, deceased from a time-travel mishap. Cooper learns Anderson was gathering intelligence on a new IMC device, the "Fold Weapon", which utilizes time-displacement technology to destroy entire planets. The planet Harmony, which is the home planet of Lastimosa and houses the Militia headquarters, will be the first target. Fortunately for the Militia, the Fold Weapon is dependent upon a power source known as the Ark. Cooper and BT hijack an IMC communications array to broadcast a signal to the Militia fleet and kill another of the Apex Predators, Richter. The transmission contains sensor data on the Ark's electromagnetic signature so that the Militia can find and seize it. After receiving the transmission, the Militia's Marauder Corps, led by Commander Sarah Briggs, assault the IMC-held installation where the Ark is being kept, arriving too late to prevent it from being loaded onto the Draconis, an IMC transport. The Militia give chase in hijacked IMC ships. BT and Cooper attempt to board the Draconis but are attacked by the Apex Predator Viper. Cooper kills Viper and successfully boards the Draconis with BT. Cooper and BT secure the Ark before the ship crashes. BT becomes incapacitated from damage sustained in his fight with Viper, and the duo are captured by Blisk and his second-in-command, Slone. BT surrenders the Ark to save Cooper but is destroyed by Slone for trying to help Cooper escape. However, BT gives Cooper a SERE kit and his data core before his chassis fails, and Cooper uses it to revive BT by installing it in a new Vanguard chassis provided by Briggs after he escapes captivity. Reunited, Cooper and BT fight their way to the base where the Fold Weapon is being prepared for use against Harmony. They kill Slone, earning Blisk's respect; Blisk spares Cooper and offers him a place in the Apex Predators before departing. BT and Cooper then launch themselves into the Fold Weapon's superstructure where the Ark has already been installed. BT hurls Cooper free before sacrificing himself, destroying the Ark, Fold Weapon, and the planet itself. The game ends with a monologue by Cooper, talking about having his status as a pilot affirmed and being inducted into the Marauder Corps, as well as reminiscing over his experiences with BT. In a post-credits scene, the Titan neural link to Cooper's helmet flashes with the message "Jack?" encoded in binary, suggesting some fragment of BT's AI managed to survive. ===== S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Phil Coulson and new agent Lance Hunter travel to "The Retreat", a safe house where Coulson had left Agent Skye after she developed earthquake abilities. They see through surveillance footage that Skye had accidentally brought down a section of the forest when confronted by agents Bobbi Morse and Tomas Calderon, part of a faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. who do not follow Coulson, and are wary of the danger super-powered individuals possess. Calderon was seriously injured during the incident, and Skye had been promptly taken by a teleporting, eyeless man named Gordon. Agent Robert Gonzales, another high- ranking member of the other S.H.I.E.L.D. faction, believes that Coulson may be amassing gifted people, but to make sure he needs the "toolbox" to be opened, something that Coulson had previously refused to do. Agent Leo Fitz also refuses, as he is loyal to Coulson, but Agent Jemma Simmons is convinced by Morse that uncovering any dangerous secrets is the only way to safeguard S.H.I.E.L.D., and return everything to "normal". Simmons begins working at opening the toolbox herself. Skye awakens in a mountain hideaway with Chinese decor called Afterlife, which is a place where people like her are brought to be safe, and to be chosen/prepared for the transformation. As explained to her by Lincoln Campbell, her transitioner, she is a unique case in that she was transformed without being chosen or prepared, and that she did it in a Kree temple with a Diviner, rather than in the controlled environment and under the elders instruction. To her dismay, Campbell informs her that the transformation is irreversible, but he is confident that she can learn to master her abilities, as he once did – he can electrically charge anything, which first caused him to almost burn down Afterlife, but now allows him to do many things, including levitate objects. Skye asks Gordon to get a message to S.H.I.E.L.D., to let them know that she is alright, but he explains that he can’t do anything without permission from the elders first. Gordon then visits Skye’s father, Cal, who they have imprisoned. The two of them get into a fight when Gordon refuses to let Cal see Skye, but shortly after, Gordon brings Cal’s wife, Jiaying, who reiterates that he cannot see their daughter. Cal is too unpredictable and lacks discipline. Coulson lures Gonzales’s troops to "The Retreat", where he and Hunter attempt to steal their quinjet, but are outnumbered and captured. However, reinforcements arrive in the form of Agent Mike Peterson, a man turned into a super-powered cyborg by Hydra, who takes out the rival S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. This convinces Gonzales that Coulson is dangerous and needs to be taken down, but he wants him to be fairly represented on their S.H.I.E.L.D. board when he is brought in, so Gonzales offers Agent Melinda May a position on the board. When Fitz discovers that Simmons is helping them open the toolbox, the two argue about it, and Fitz decides to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson explains to Hunter that Peterson has been tracking Hydra scientist Dr. List for S.H.I.E.L.D., and has learned that they have interests in super-powered people like Skye. Coulson announces that in order to move forward they will need to work with the traitor Grant Ward. Skye learns that Raina, the former Hydra operative who transformed alongside Skye, is in Afterlife as well, and confronts her, attempting to kill her. This is stopped by Jiaying, who offers to be her guide and help her master her abilities, if she chooses to stay, though she does not reveal that she is Skye’s mother. In an end tag, Simmons tells Morse and Mack that she is unable to open the toolbox without Coulson, but in reality she has given the real toolbox to Fitz, who is working with her against those not loyal to Coulson. ===== Architect Scott Campbell (Ron Foster) and his wife (Merry Anders) survey an old mansion where the previous tenant disappeared. Strange noises, eerie sights and vanishing keys ruin their attempt at a wedding anniversary. Things get worse after Scott's employer (Richard Crane) and his wife arrive, and his employer's wife is kidnapped. ===== Christopher Robin is leaving for boarding school, so his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood – Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and Rabbit – throw a goodbye party. Christopher comforts Pooh and tells him that he will never forget him. Christopher goes to boarding school, where he is reprimanded for drawing pictures of Pooh in class. His experiences at boarding school and the death of his father force him to mature quickly and he forgets all about the Hundred Acre Wood and his friends there. He grows up, meets and marries architect Evelyn, with whom he has a daughter named Madeline. He serves in the British Army during World War II. After the war, he works as Director of Efficiency at Winslow Luggages. He neglects his family due to his demanding job and plans on sending Madeline to boarding school. With the company hitting hard times, Christopher's superior, Giles Winslow Jr. tells him to decrease expenditures by 20%, largely by choosing which employees to lay off, and to present his plan on Monday. This causes Christopher to miss joining his family at their countryside cottage in Sussex for a summer-ending weekend. When Pooh awakens the next morning and is unable to find his friends, he decides to travel through the door through which Christopher Robin is known to emerge and finds himself in London. He reunites with Christopher, who is shocked to see Pooh, but takes him back to his London home. After a night and morning of chaos, Christopher escorts Pooh back to Sussex on the next train. After sneaking past Christopher's cottage, the two enter the Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher becomes exasperated by Pooh's absent-mindedness and fear of Heffalumps and Woozles. Pooh, in an attempt to return Christopher’s compass to him, trips into Christopher's briefcase and his papers spill onto the ground. Christopher, enraged, yells at Pooh, declaring he is not a child any more, before the two get separated in the fog. He falls into a Heffalump and Woozle trap, which is flooded by rainfall, soaking him and his belongings. Christopher discovers Eeyore and Piglet, who lead him to the others, hiding in a log out of fear of a Heffalump (revealed to be the squeaking of a rusty weathercock from Owl's house after the wind made it fall from its tree while they were having tea). Unable to persuade his friends that he is truly Christopher Robin, he pretends to defeat the Heffalump to convince them. Having vanquished the Heffalump, Christopher finally convinces his friends that he is Christopher Robin, and they joyfully greet him. When they reunite with Pooh, Christopher apologizes for getting upset earlier. Christopher tells Pooh how lost he feels, but Pooh reminds him that they have found each other and comforts him with a hug. The next morning, Christopher rushes from the Hundred Acre Wood to make his presentation as Tigger gives him his briefcase. On the way, he encounters his family, but much to Madeline's disappointment, he leaves to go to London. Pooh realizes that Tigger removed Christopher's paperwork when drying his briefcase, so Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore decide to return it. They meet Madeline, who recognizes them from her father's drawings. Madeline joins them, wanting to dissuade her father about boarding school, and they board a train to London. Evelyn follows after discovering a note Madeline left. At his presentation, Christopher discovers that his briefcase contains items from the Wood that Tigger had given him (including Eeyore's detachable tail). Evelyn arrives and Christopher joins her to search London for Madeline. Madeline's group stow away in Winslow company crates, but Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet are accidentally thrown out, and they encounter Christopher and Evelyn in the process. Pooh and Madeline arrive near the Winslow building and reunite with Christopher and the others, but Madeline accidentally trips on the stairs and loses all but one of the papers, upsetting her and Pooh. Christopher assures Madeline of her importance to him and that he will not send her to boarding school. Using the one paper Madeline saved, Christopher improvises a new plan involving reducing the prices of luggage, selling their luggage to everyday people to increase demand and giving employees paid leave. Winslow Jr., who was hoping to lay off some of the staff, dismisses the idea, but Winslow Sr. warms to it and agrees to the plan. Winslow Jr. is humiliated as Christopher points out that he contributed nothing to the plan, having been out golfing all weekend. Christopher, along with Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet, finally takes his family into the Hundred Acre Wood to meet the rest of his friends. As everyone relaxes at a picnic, Pooh and Christopher Robin both share a tender moment together. In a mid-credits scene, the employees of Winslow's are seen having fun at the beach while Richard M. Sherman performs "Busy Doing Nothing" on a piano. Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore are relaxing on beach chairs with Eeyore saying "Thank you for noticing me". ===== On April 14, 2013, Sergeant Tommy Saunders captures a suspect and fails to convince Commissioner Davis to let him off from a punishment duty the next day, working the Boston Marathon. The next day, during the marathon, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev detonate two bombs, causing widespread panic. A young couple Patrick Downes and Jessica Kensky are injured and taken to separate hospitals, where they are both required to have their legs amputated. Steve Woolfenden, a family man, is also injured and separated from his toddler son, Leo, who is taken by an officer to a safe location. FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard DesLauriers is assigned to investigate the bombings in collaboration with Boston police commissioner Ed Davis, while Saunders searches for evidence and helps people that have been injured or separated from their loved ones in the chaos, including Patrick, Jessica, Steven, and Leo. FBI analysts review footage of the bombing and identify Dzhokhar and Tamerlan as suspects, but DesLauriers is reluctant to release their pictures to the public without further evidence. His hand is forced when the pictures are leaked to the press, while Watertown Police Sergeant Jeffrey Pugliese's men begin conducting door-to-door searches for the pair. Dzhokhar and Tamerlan kill MIT officer Sean Collier in a failed attempt to steal his pistol, and then carjack student Dun Meng, telling him that they committed the marathon bombing and planned to conduct another bombing in New York City. After Dzhokhar enters the Shell Gas station convenience store, Meng escapes from the vehicle and takes refuge at the Mobil gas station across the street, where he alerts the police on the whereabouts of the brothers after they drive away in the stolen car. Saunders arrives at the scene, learns of the brothers' plan, and is given the stolen car's GPS tracking number, leading police to the pair, which leads to an armed confrontation. Several officers are injured in the ensuing shootout, where the brothers use both firearms and bombs. While Tamerlan is shooting, Pugliese fires at his ankle, wounding him and hindering his ability to gather more explosives. Tamerlan orders Dzhokhar to run to New York City to continue the rampage while he makes a last stand. As Tamerlan is subdued by the police, Dzhokhar runs over his brother in his flight, killing him and later he escapes in the chaos. Meanwhile, Tamerlan's wife Katherine Russell and Dzhokhar's college friends from UMass Dartmouth (Dias Kadyrbayev, Azamat Tazhayakov, and Robel Phillipos) are detained by the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and questioned by the High-Value Interrogation Group. Russell refuses to disclose any knowledge of her husband's illegal activities, paraphrasing the Quran in defiance, while Dzhokhar's roommates appear oblivious to his plans, despite having earlier found bomb components in his possessions. Later in Watertown, a local man named David Henneberry finds Dzhokhar hiding under the sheets of his boat and calls Saunders and Superintendent William B. Evans. Dzhokhar is quickly surrounded and arrested after a brief standoff. Crowds cheer in the streets of surrounding neighborhoods while Saunders and his colleagues celebrate. The Boston police are invited to attend a Boston Red Sox game, where David Ortiz thanks them for their heroism and tells them to "stay strong". Dzhokhar was sentenced to death by lethal injection and is awaiting his appeal in federal prison; his three college friends were arrested for obstructing the bombing investigation and authorities are continuing to seek information regarding Russell's possible involvement in the bombings. ===== Mike Milch (John Gallagher Jr.), an employee of Belko Industries, while driving to work is stopped by street vendors selling "lucky" handmade dolls. Barry Norris (Tony Goldwyn), also of Belko Industries, arrives at the office building in Bogotá, Colombia, to find unfamiliar security guards turning away the local Colombian staff at the gate. New employee Dany Wilkins (Melonie Diaz) reports for her first day on the job and is told that a tracking device is implanted in the base of every Belko employee's skull in case something happens to them. Evan Smith (James Earl), Belko's head security guard, does not know who the new security guards are. Once all the employees show up, a voice on the intercom instructs them to kill two of their co- workers, or else there will be consequences. Several staff attempt to flee the building, but steel shutters seal off the walls and doors, locking them all in. They ignore the announcement at first, believing it to be a sick prank, but after the set time ends and the two have not been killed, four employees die when explosives hidden in their trackers detonate and blow their heads apart. Mike attempts to remove his tracker with a box cutter. Warned by the voice that he too will die unless he stops, he gives up. The group is told that unless thirty of them are dead within two hours, sixty will be killed. They split into two factions, one led by Mike, who believes that there should be no killing, and one led by chief operating officer boss Barry Norris who intends to follow the directions in order to save himself. Barry and his group, consisting of executive Wendell (John C. McGinley), as well as employees Terry (Owain Yeoman), Antonio (Benjamin Byron Davis), and Bradley (Andres Suarez) attempt to burn off the lock of the armory in order to gain access to its weapons. Mike and his group, including his girlfriend, Leandra Florez (Adria Arjona), Evan and employees Keith (Josh Brener), Leota (Gail Bean), Peggy (Rusty Schwimmer), Vince (Brent Sexton) and Roberto (David Del Rio), try to hang banners from the roof as a call for help, but soldiers outside shoot at them. Barry, Wendell, and Terry ambush the group in the stairway, kill Evan and take his keys to the armory. With his group now armed, Barry and Wendell select thirty people, including Mike and Peggy, forcing them to kneel in a line. He begins executing them with a gunshot to the back of the head. Dany, who has been hiding in the basement, sees what is happening and shuts off the building's lights before Mike and several others can be killed. The employees immediately run for cover as Barry and his group start firing, killing several more people. However, Bradley and Antonio are ganged upon and killed by the employees. During this, Dany goes into the elevator shaft with Roberto. Barry and Wendell hunt down the fleeing employees as the voice informs them that only twenty-nine have been killed. Then the two-hour time limit runs out. The voice states that 31 more people will die, including Terry, Leota, Peggy, and Keith, leaving only 16 survivors. They are then informed by the voice that, as a final task, the employee who has killed the most people within an hour will be spared. Barry finds Dany and Roberto in the elevator shaft. Still, Dany escapes while Roberto is crushed and killed in the elevator shaft. Leandra finds two employees, Marty (Sean Gunn) and Chet (Abraham Benrubi), collecting the un-exploded trackers from the heads of people who have died by other methods. They tell her that they are planning to use them to blow up the wall. However, they are killed by Wendell. Leandra kills Wendell, leaving the final six survivors: Vince, Mike, Barry, Dany, Leandra, and cafeteria lady Leezle, who is killed shortly afterward. Barry shoots Vince and Dany, killing them, and also shoots Leandra. With her dying breath, she proclaims her love to Mike. In a rage, Mike fights and then kills Barry by crushing his skull with a tape dispenser. The building is then unsealed, as he is the last survivor, and the soldiers escort him to the hangar next door. There, he meets the owner of the Voice (Gregg Henry), who says that they're part of an international organisation studying human behaviour. As he and his colleagues begin to question Mike about his emotional and mental state, Mike notices a panel of switches that correspond to the eighty employees. Having planted the trackers that Marty collected on the soldiers and the Voice, he flips every remaining active switch except his own. The trackers explode, killing the soldiers and wounding the Voice, before Mike grabs a gun and kills the remaining scientists.

The play addresses matters such as Greece and the way it deals with things and ideas, its contribution to the world (mainly through Prochoros), while in the end the tragedy highlights the Christian peace and purity (Christ is a symbol that is trying to unite the different views). Christ is the successor to the Greek spirit or at least he is the linking force that will play an important role on co-forming (with the Greek element) the new ideals for life. Formulating this shape through the terms of scholars, we would say that the prophetic and high tone of the tragedy is in parallel with the "human temperature", with human faith and militancy.Πέτρος Χάρης, «Οι τραγωδίες του Άγγελου Σικελιανού», περ. Νέα Εστία, τ. 127, τχ. 1503, 15 Φεβρουαρίου 1990, σ. 237. The predominant request - message of the play, the universal Unity into which the fragmented World needs to return to (the world was fragmented after the matricide committed with the refusal of the Mother-Earth within the city- states) is served only with a Catharsis, with the end of this historic cycle and the "reinvention" of the world (the "eternal return" also found in the Stoic theory) through a purifying-cathartic (and therefore destructive) power and manner. This manner, according to Sikelianos, is fire that will burn everything (a popular motif in the work of Sikelianos in general, since he has used it in many other tragedies). The main episode of Christ in Rome with great length and key importance – and also the main theme of the plot is the scene of the fire that burns Rome. The re-creation of all things will come in the face the Jew Daisan, who will salvage an infant from the burning ruins of a building, a symbol of hope for the future: in other words and in direct correlation with the ancient myths and Greek tragedy, Daisan becomes the father-Zeus of the new Dionysus – hope for the future of the world. But, as a man Daisan has also restored the fault of all mankind, the fault that cost him Paradise: he has rescued Dionysus-Art, which is the way to render the human race immortal. All these symbolisms and interpretations, as in all the other tragedies by Sikelianos, are based on the texts of the original sources, the inexhaustible material of ancient tragedy, which so aptly and delicately Sikelianos "disguises" and "hides" within his own text. ===== An archaeologist (Don Taylor) and his partner (Eduardo Ciannelli) encounter a society of women warriors, who want to enslave men. ===== One of the main scenes of the play is the visit of Nero at the oracle of Delphi to take the oracle by Sibylla, priestess of the Oracle, and the reactions of the latter. This work, unlike his first one, the Dithyramb of Rose, is a complete tragedy, in terms of genre and structure: with distinct and complete parts both in the dialogue and chorus parts as well as in the plot and characters. The messages of the time for resistance against the oncoming storm and the pursuit of freedom and human dignity through struggle that the work depicts are portrayed through a dense dramaturgical and finely processed storyline of symbolic relations, influences and elements of ancient drama. A vast number of structures and textual (vocative or expressive) sequences can be found in "Sibylla" all of which can be attributed to ancient tragedy (for instance the way that the landscape of Delphi is depicted is similar to certain tragedies on the same topic). Sibylla (and the other characters) as a prophetess, also expresses and symbolizes the Greek spirit John Gassner, The Reader's Encyclopedia of World Drama, 2002, p. 398. and conscience against the Roman roughness (during the time of the plot), as well as against the spirit of the conqueror in general (an allegorical approach, based on the historical circumstances at the time of writing of the play). The play expresses personal ideas of Sikelianos, similar to the ideas of his time, expressed through the theatrical garb of ancient tragedy and the elements that are traditionally used in tragedies (religious, psychological and other). What is important for the understanding of the play are the concepts of the "mantosyni" (the art of oracle as an inner power, spiritually superior to the other inner powers of every man) a property that Sibylla has as a mythical figure and symbol and also the concept of the combination of the Apollonian and the Dionysian element (the individual, logic-wise, prophetic, cult of Apollo in connection with the collective, bacchic-frenzied, ecstatic, joyful worship of Dionysus, cults that were in stark contrast before the advent of Dionysus in Delphi).Γιώργος Βαρθαλίτης, "Απολλώνια Μανία", Ο καθρέφτης της Ηρωδιάδος. (Κέντρωνες για τη λογοτεχνία), "Ευθύνη"/ Αναλόγιο λγ΄, Αθήνα 2011, σ. 63 – 68. ===== The work focuses on the last moments of Digenis Akritas. Sikelianos uses the acritic cycle (frontiersmen tales) for the historical material (i.e. the conditions and some historical figures of the time, such as the Byzantine Emperors Michael III and Basil I) and the image of Digenis, whom he places as leader of a heretic group of paulician warriors, adjusting and transforming the historical material according to his own dramaturgical and ideological objectives (particularly the importance of the hero's tomb and other relevant issues). Mainly due to its second name, this tragedy has been associated with the third part of the lost Promethean trilogy by Aeschylus, Prometheus Unbound, with Digenis being presented by Sikelianos with the same characteristics: a social and cultural fighter - revolutionary for the good of the people – Prometheus, more or less, offers culture to mankind – a hero that links Christ and Prometheus, while there are other scholars’ opinions that consider Hercules top have served as a model, as well as Oedipus (mainly in relation to the issue of the initiation of the hero and his death - as the return to Mother Earth). In general, ancient Greek tragedy - not only the lost Promethean trilogy - has been used by Sikelianos for the rendering of other persons through an implicit link with characters of ancient drama (Emperor Michael III, Monk Hilarion). The scene with the impious communion of Digenis is considered to be the centre of the play (some Orthodox symbols are being declared void in a "blasphemous" way – for example the cross, the symbolism of which is sought to change from a symbol of martyrdom into a "tree of life", set in a natural habitat of unsurpassed beauty, which is also the set for the death of Digenis. Perhaps this is a way to demonstrate the heretical thought of the Paulicians).Θεόδωρος Ξύδης, «Οι τραγωδίες του Σικελιανού», περ. Νέα Εστία, τ. 90, τχ. 1056, 1η Ιουλίου 1971, σ. 847 - 853. ===== The tragedy is inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and this is stated by the announcement to his faithful followers and comrades that he will perform a sacrifice to the God at the top of mount Paggaio with the risk of execution and dismemberment by the sacred Maenads of Dionysus. The personae speaking are Orpheus, the First Leader of the Chorus A and the Second Leader of the Chorus B (the latter two as representatives of the large chorus of faithful-comrades following Orpheus). This tragedy has the structure of the early types of this genre, showing higher correlations with the dithyramb (exchange of responses – partly improvised – between the leader of the chorus or the leaders of the chorus and other persons outside the chorus) that evolves into a tragedy, more than a tragedy (with distinct principles and structure) itself. Sikelianos, influenced by the Orphic theology and its founder and leader, Orpheus, places him as Hierophant – officiant in the myth, with clear references to Dionysus. As scholars have said, the individual symbols (besides Orpheus-Dionysus) of ear of grain (symbolizing the earth), the vine (symbolizing the intoxication of love) and, especially the rose (symbol of life embedded in love) that are eminent in the play are allegorically bound with the tragedy itself (these symbols do not lose their mystic nature throughout the course of the play) and aim at transmitting a universal message of peace, harmony and unity among all people, a "key" message to understanding all creative events of Sikelianos (literary work and organization of the Delphic Festivals – the dedication to Delphic Idea).

Of those that remain is one of the bravest and best, Major Na Gwan- jung. In the air he is cool and level headed, and directly and swiftly dispatches the enemy with a minimum of complication. On the ground he spends his time drinking with his comrades, the vagaries of life and death in wartime has led to the pilots adopting a live for the moment approach to life.

Na Gwan-jung saves her from this fate, helps provide for her, and falls in love with her.

Having been seduced by a man returning to the village from his life in a Nigerian city, she nervously awaits her wedding night. ===== The narrative begins as a first person narrator describes his companion, named Vollmer, as they orbit above a war- torn Earth. The primary goal of their mission is to collect information and monitor enemy satellites, which he and Vollmer must report back to Colorado Command. The narrator also reveals that, while this is his third orbital mission, it is Vollmer's first. He believes that having been in space for so long, and therefore gaining a different perspective on the planet, has changed Vollmer. The narrator acknowledges that the same changes have occurred in him, and that they are likely impossible to avoid - describing the experience of orbiting the Earth as a 'privileged vista', he admits that one cannot help but gain a universal feeling and in turn dwell on the human condition. Vollmer is described as 23 years old, and having many personal effects. The narrator, on the other hand, only carries a 1901 vintage coin. He ponders whether Vollmer's parents imparted so many possessions on him for the journey out of fear that the orbital mission would lack 'human moments', which the narrator uses as a jumping off point to describe activities and things aboard that characterize the aforementioned term. The hammocks, shipboard diet, slippers, and football jerseys are all items and practices which the narrator uses to exemplify this. While contrasting their routine on the mission with the routine of a typical Sunday back home on Earth, they are forced to inspect potential laser activity in an orbital section code-named "Dolores". While doing this, the narrator thinks about how, despite having been pulled from the natural waking/sleeping rhythm of day and night on Earth, Vollmer still speaks within its terms. It is at this point that the narrator also reveals how Vollmer seems to annoy him on a fundamental level, describing Vollmer's voice as 'stupid' and a 'grave, naked bass'. When Vollmer tries to start conversations about wide-spanning or deep subject matter, he attempts to redirect the conversation to something more mundane or routine. Through their conversations, it is revealed that the war has only been going on for three weeks. Vollmer senses that there is a lack of satisfaction, a fatigue with the war on Earth, and this is what unnerves the narrator more than anything else: while he does not share such opinions out loud, Vollmer's convictions about society and their situation are often the same as his. Unlike Vollmer, the narrator chooses to not share such thoughts out of fear. The narrator then begins a stream of consciousness regarding the nature of war, which he harkens to a form of longing in itself, a 'human moment'. His further conversations with Vollmer after docking for supplies elaborate this idea, as Vollmer describes the ideal that war should be a unifying force, giving a group of people a common sense of destiny; the narrator then poses the question of what happens when such a shared crisis dwindles sooner than anyone could have thought, reflecting once again his underlying fear of Vollmer's ideas. While receiving transmissions from Colorado Command, a faint, strangely familiar signal punctures the communications and sends the narrator into another series of self-reflecting thoughts. Colorado Command assures the narrator that it's probably just 'selective noise', but the narrator insists that he has heard a voice. Colorado Command claims it's a weather report from another component of their geosynchronous orbital systems, and the narrator is advised to disregard it. Ten hours later, Vollmer hears not just one, but multiple voices through the signal, and manages to identify vague references as well as the sound of human laughter coming through his headset. The narrator realizes that these are shows, interviews, music, and ads - radio signals from decades prior to their time period. The narrator then observes landmasses on the surface below, listing them off aloud. Vollmer remarks that the best thing science does is "name the features of the world," which sends the narrator into a spiral of thoughts regarding his fear of Vollmer's 'human' insights. As the narrator is a self-admitted specialist (actually meaning someone who doesn't specialize in a given field in Colorado Command's context), he doesn't have the specific knowledge or degrees that Vollmer does, which makes him more frustrated when Vollmer indulges in non-scientific wonderment at the Earth instead of sticking to his routine system checks. When Vollmer proclaims, "I'm happy," the narrator fills with rage, wondering how someone could possibly be happy in their situation. The narrator's bleak view of the human condition has worn out his sense of optimism, something that Vollmer's absolute feelings of well- being only intensify for him. As the narrator describes laser technology, along with its clean lethality, he asserts that the reason two men (in this case Vollmer and himself) are tasked with the job of operating one must come from this horror at the destructive technology that man has created. As he phrases it, "Fear of the power of light, pure stuff of the universe." Now Vollmer and the narrator sit at their respective control panels, which are placed back-to-back with one another (a means of ensuring that the tics or anxieties of one man do not inhibit the decision-making of the other). As the two men count down to fire, thoughts of devastation and horror on Earth cross the narrator's mind. Within the same cycle of thoughts, however, is a sense of satisfaction for the narrator at having a life based around a series of specific steps and commands. He wonders if this sense of pleasure is almost an independent being unto itself, and confesses that such pleasure is a source of shame for him. While preparing to fire, Vollmer asks the narrator if he has ever experienced a sense of well-being so powerful that it became a sort of blissful arrogance, a sense of superiority over others simply felt through one's life energy. Non-verbally, the narrator admits that he has felt such emotions. Vollmer continues by describing the fragility of such a feeling, that if one thing goes wrong humans can be reduced to a sense of despair and hopelessness (the narrator again agrees silently). Their station then floats over the Missouri River towards the lakes of Minnesota. Vollmer is filled with excitement (Minnesota being his home), and begins poring over the maps trying to confirm. He also talks at great length about his childhood memories, as the narrator thinks to himself that Minnesota is yet another 'human moment'. They continue to listen to the ghost signals of old radio programs as they prepare to make a quantum burn. Vollmer observes the variety of harsh climates and weather patterns on the surface and wonders how humans can persevere and survive under such harsh conditions. The narrator thinks about how, when Vollmer forgets the war, he himself becomes a 'human moment'. The narrator is then pulled out of his trance upon remembering that, now in a time of war, there is no place for such human moments to occur. The absolution of meaning through death in war has replaced everyday life for the two, and (as the narrator observes) is beginning to change Vollmer's outlook. Vollmer (he believes) is close to inferring that life on Earth was a unique mistake, and that we are in fact alone in the universe (once again, his thinking is a product of wartime). The narrator wonders if such an idea is true, or if humans project their attitudes about their own existence into the cosmos - in which case the spirit of a given generation is all that determines such universal assertions. Vollmer's patience with Colorado Command begins to wane, and the narrator finds himself (despite agreeing with many of Vollmer's qualms) increasingly irritated with his companion. He wonders if it has something to do with his seniority over Vollmer, or if it is simply Vollmer's voice that is getting to him. Eventually, however, Vollmer becomes completely withdrawn and non-verbal, doing all routines and checklists at the window while gazing out over the Earth. The narrator describes how every single anxiety, desire, and philosophical debate within Vollmer has been satisfied by his place above the Earth now, ending with Vollmer saying, "It's just so interesting... the colors and all." The story leaves us with the narrator repeating the phrase in his mind. ===== ===== When the fiancée of a squire's daughter is killed, suspicion falls on a novelist. ===== Clay (Sam Huntington) is an incoming college freshman.

Amanda (Kaitlin Doubleday) is another incoming freshman from Pittsburgh and is getting dropped off at a sorority house by her mother, a legacy member of the sorority. Amanda has a sorority scholarship to go to the school. Clay goes to a party with his friend Matt (Mike Erwin), where he meets Amanda and tries to hook up with her, only to lose her to another man. Clay returns home only to notice that his roommate hanged himself. Clay and Matt move in. Amanda's sorority is going through the initiation process. Each pledge must draw from a hat and find a man described on the piece of paper to get to fall in love with her. Amanda's selection is a gay man. The mission is for them to bring their dates to a party in 3 weeks and dump them. Clay and Matt go to check out the sorority Amanda is in. Clay concludes that they need to become frat boys in order to go out with one of those girls. They try to join a fraternity. When they are passed out, a frat member drags them by their feet, strips them naked, and puts them in a sleeping bag together and places them in the quad for them to be humiliated. Now everyone in school thinks they are gay. Amanda is searching out a gay guy to go out with and when she sees Clay, realizing that he was one of the two guys in the sleeping bag, goes up to talk to him, thinking he's gay. Clay slips up and claims that he is. Now that he's claimed to be gay, he goes out to learn more about homosexuality and how to be a gay person, including joining the on-campus LGBT club and going to a gay bar. Clay asks the bar owner Rodney (John Goodman) how to be gay and is given instruction on everything, including how to dress and how to act. Clay and Amanda go out to a club where Clay sings on stage. Their friendship continues to blossom. Amanda kisses Clay, but then regrets it shortly afterwards because she still thinks he's gay. Clay tries to tell her the truth when she's in his dorm room, but she leaves before that opportunity. Amanda wants to back out of the deal she was under, but Serena, the sorority head, threatens to kick her out. Once again, Clay tries calling Amanda to come clean that he's not really gay. Sherman, whom he met at the gay bar, assaults him for not going out with him. Clay is knocked out and taken to the hospital, where he recovers quickly. His friend Brennan, who found him knocked out, thinks the fraternity brothers did it and tries to tell it to a campus police officer. Brennan goes to the LGBT Club and claims that Clay was gay bashed and that the campus police are covering it up. The Club therefore thinks a hate crime was committed and they arrange to have all of the historically oppressed minority groups unite and go fight against the fraternity. Meanwhile, Amanda tries to prevent Clay from going to the upcoming party because she doesn't want to break up with him. Clay nevertheless shows up and after seeing a number of break ups on the spot, realizes that it was a set-up and dumps Amanda. He returns and discovers that Matt is gay. When walking across campus the next day, Clay sees posters up with his picture on them, claiming him to be the victim of a hate crime. He sees Marjorie, who's now lesbian, putting up one and asks her to take it off. He also reveals to her that he's not even gay and she gets mad. Clay sees Professor Jackson in the library and she reveals that she knew the whole time that he wasn't gay. After a talk with her, he decides to go make up with Amanda. He shows up at a fraternity house, where a party is being held, and sees a brawl going on between the minority groups and the fraternity and sorority. He gets on stage and gets everyone's attention. He reveals that Sherman was the attacker and the LGBT Club members get mad at Sherman. Clay reveals to everyone that he's not gay and that he's in love with Amanda. He tries to get everyone in the room to reconcile, but they start rioting when a black woman is called “dyke”. Amanda storms out of the house. Clay tries to get back with her, but she still leaves and decides to go back to Pittsburgh. Clay goes back to the gay bar where he reveals to Rodney that he wasn't gay and that he was only pretending in order to get Amanda to like him. He asks Rodney if he's mad, who responds by saying that he isn't and feels honored to hear a straight man wanting to be gay. Amanda, who has lost her scholarship but got a job at a make-up counter, is seen sitting at a bus stop. Clay goes up to her and tells her that pretending to be gay made him a better person. They rekindle their relationship and Amanda, having already missed her bus, misses the next bus, in order to spend a little more time with Clay. ===== The Doppler family, Pennsylvania Dutch farmers, are in debt to Tobias Tinwhiskers.

Carlos, a friendly local resident, gives Nancy a ride and drops her off at the beach, while a friend of hers who came along with her is staying back at a hotel after partying too much. Nancy joins two other locals and the three surf for several hours. Taking a break from surfing, Nancy video-chats with her younger sister Chloe. When she talks to her father in an emotional and strained conversation, it is revealed that her mother's death caused Nancy to consider dropping out of medical school. While surfing one last time for the day, Nancy notices the carcass of a young humpback whale nearby. As she rides the last wave back to the beach, a large great white shark knocks her off her surfboard and bites her leg. Nancy climbs onto the whale carcass, but the shark rams it from underneath, forcing her to swim to an isolated rock. She uses her surfboard strap to slow the bleeding from her leg. Later she uses her jewelry to put rudimentary stitches in place to hold her torn flesh together. Nancy is left alone when the unaware locals leave the beach, and she spends the night on the rock with a wounded red- billed gull, which was also injured by the shark, and names him Steven Seagull. The next morning, a drunk local man on the beach steals Nancy's belongings. While wading out into the shallow water to steal Nancy's surfboard, however, he is killed by the shark. Several hours later, the two locals Nancy had surfed with the day before return. They get into the water before Nancy can warn them away, and are also killed by the shark. One of the local surfers was wearing a GoPro camera on his helmet. When he was attacked by the shark, his helmet had come off and floated to the surface. Nancy later sees the helmet floating in the water. After some struggle, she is able to retrieve it and notices in the footage of the attack, the shark has a large hook stuck in its mouth after a possible encounter with fishermen. Nancy uses the GoPro to leave messages for her sister and father as well as information about the shark attack and her location. With high tide approaching, Nancy realizes the rock will be submerged soon. After sending Steven Seagull toward shore on a piece of the surfboard, and timing the shark's circles from the whale carcass to the rock, Nancy swims to a nearby buoy, narrowly avoiding the shark by swimming through a group of jellyfish, which sting both the shark and her. Nancy finds a flare gun on the buoy. She shoots one flare to draw the attention of a faraway cargo ship, but the ship has already turned away and does not see her. She then fires another flare at the shark, setting the oil from the whale carcass alight and angering it, but otherwise having no effect. The shark then ferociously attacks the buoy and rips out the chains securing it to the ocean bed. Nancy straps herself to the last remaining chain and as it is ripped from the buoy, she is pulled down to the ocean floor, pursued by the shark.

The theme and the plot of the story carries the main crux of its treatment. It depicts the way how the things can change when one unexpected turn comes in between events, and how fantasies and plans come to an end in a totally satirical form. It deals with saucy humor, and plots which change form according to the situation. The plot also shows how various literates of the society (landlord, captain, doctor) plan events according to their fun and need, and how they fall prey to their own planning. The humor involved also has various double meanings, saucy comments which are enjoyable only according to the situation. The treatment is simple yet the situation confuses the characters, who from within are somewhat unaware of what is actually in store for them, and are mentally prepared according to their smartly made small fun cum plan, the events that occur in the life of the protagonists, and that keeps them unaware of the reality. As they slowly come to know the reality, and how they fall prey to their own plan, they realize but laugh it off. They also pass somewhat weird comments at each other just to prove their own selves right, which in reality does not happen and they have to accept the fact that some one else can also be much more smarter than them in doing plannings and making them face the reality, where earlier they think that people around them are good but not the best, it then dawns upon them later that they are best than them too. The story finally shows the mental state of the smarties when their lie comes to an end and they are caught in a cat and mouse situation, where they feel awkward, funny, but great after all the ruckus comes to an end and the confusing situation that was seeming to them as difficult to handle, also takes a clear and a happy turn, and then they realize the value of some who are actually true but only to set a right track for people like them they timely turn their true self and not for any wrong intention, the satire of the whole story then takes a pleasing and a final turn. ===== Mukhtiar Chadha (Diljit Dosanjh) is a Delhi-based jack of trades, without a stable source of income.

The UFO, a white sphere, comes to rest in Stone Canyon outside of Oak Ridge, floating approximately 6 feet (1.8 metres) above the ground. Both USAF Col. Matthews (Paul Langton) and Dr. Karl Sorenson (Bennett), an astrophysist at the nearby Pacific Institute of Technology (PIT), are called to the scene. Kathy Grant (Greene), a widow whose fighter pilot husband died in the Korean War, runs a tourist lodge near the canyon and also arrives. With her is her young son Ken (Scotty Morrow), who uses a wheelchair due to an unnamed terminal disease. Ken looks up to Sorenson as a hero, not Matthews. That night the sphere emits a beam of light from which emerges a dark, translucent humanoid figure. The figure goes to Sorenson's lab at PIT, where it solves a problem with a "proton chamber" that Sorenson and Dr. Richie (Walter Maslow) have been unable to solve. This alerts both men to the fact that they are dealing with an extraterrestrial of much greater intellegence than they. Matthews, however, sees the alien as dangerous and therefore something - or someone - to be captured. He orders the sphere taken to the airbase. But even with heavy equipment at their disposal, the USAF crew is unable to move the sphere, even though it is attached to nothing. An oddly-dressed stranger - wearing thick eyeglasses, a fedora and an anorak - arrives at the lodge and requests a room. Kathy finds him peculiar but lets him stay after he implies that he is a scientist who knows Sorenson. Kathy assumes that he's Dr. Steinholz (Hal Torey), whom USAF Gen. Knowland (Herbert Lytton) has called in to help with the sphere. Sorenson performs an experiment in which he shoots an electrical charge into the sphere. It creates a huge "sonic blast." Sorenson says that with greater power the sphere could create a sonic blast large enough to "wipe a city off the face of the earth." This worries Matthews, who rhetorically asks Sorenson what would happen if a similar sphere landed in Russia and the Russians figured out its secrets before the US; Sorenson admits that that would be very bad indeed. That night at the lodge, the Cosmic Man appears in translucent humanoid form before the scientists and military personnel. He says that Sorenson and other scientists are the "hope for the world" now that Earthlings are about to start space exploration. But he declares that humans must adopt a new philosophy and learn to live with others unlike themselves before they can become successful members of interplanetary society. He says that he will leave in the morning. Knowland demands to know more about his plans and, when the Cosmic Man walks away without answering, the airmen open fire on him. It has no effect. Later, Kathy hears voices coming from Ken's room. She finds Ken playing chess with the odd scientist who has been staying at the lodge. She doesn't know that he is the Cosmic Man disguised as a human. He politely thanks Ken for teaching him to play chess, agrees that they've had fun, then leaves. But he later returns and secretly takes Ken with him. By this time, Steinholz has aimed powerful electromagnets at the sphere. The Cosmic Man appears with Ken in his arms, lays him gently on the ground and tells the assembled USAF personnel and scientists to stay well away from the sphere as he leaves. Steinholz fires the electromagnets and the Cosmic Man falls to the ground, apparently dead. But then Ken suddenly stands up and walks to Kathy - no longer paralyzed, he has been cured by the Cosmic Man. Everyone smiles at the sight. The sphere emits another beam of light, absorbing the body of the Cosmic Man, and flies away. With tears in his eyes, Ken says "Goodbye, Cosmic Man." Sorenson replies confidently "He'll be back" and he, Kathy and Ken rejoin the others. ===== Tokuzō Akiyama is a good-for-nothing young man living in the countryside, who gets easily absorbed in activities he finds interesting, but quickly loses interest and moves on, creating trouble for his family. He is married off to a merchant household to teach him discipline, and his wife gradually grows to love his personality. Tokuzō, however, falls in love again: this time with cooking. As he delivers goods to the army kitchen, the army chef introduces him to cutlet, which prompts Tokuzō to learn the craft. On a whim, he decides to leave his wife to study cooking in Tokyo. Amid hardship and humiliation, the young man who never felt compelled to stick to a job, keeps his dream to become the emperor's cook at only 25 years of age. ===== On his first day of high school, sumo practitioner Hinomaru Ushio joins Odachi High's sumo club. Despite his short stature (professional sumo has a height requirement of ), Hinomaru aims to become the best in high school to force the professional sumo association to let him compete, and then reach the sport's highest rank of yokozuna. However, the club's captain and only other member, third year student Shinya Ozeki, informs him that delinquents have taken over their dojo. Hinomaru challenges their leader and "strongest" student at the school, Yuma Gojo, to a fight to take back the dojo, and beats him with one hit. Humbled, Yuma also joins the sumo club after being dragged to a practice match by Hinomaru and seeing how strong the wrestlers are. They compete in a local three-man team tournament, but are knocked out by Ishigami High School. In order to avoid having the club shut down, they recruit two more members during the two-day cultural festival; the national wrestling champion Chihiro Kunisaki, and the small, unathletic Kei Mitsuhashi. The members of Odachi High's sumo club then enter the Kantō newcomer tournament, which is fought one-on-one, where Chihiro, Yuma and Hinomaru are all defeated by the return of the prodigy Sōsuke Kuze. Hinomaru's childhood friend Kirihito Tsuji enters Odachi High and becomes the coach of the sumo club. Tsuji devises training regimens for each member, including having Hinomaru train with professionals at Shibakiyama stable, to get them ready for the Chiba preliminaries of the Inter High Tournament. At the preliminaries, Odachi High defeats Ishigami High in the team finals earning a spot at the nationals, while Hinomaru wins the individual tournament. Shibakiyama invites Odachi High to Nagoya to train with professionals, where Hinomaru gets special training with sekitori and former yokozuna Shunkai Tokio. On the first day of the national Inter High Tournament at Ryōgoku Kokugikan, Hinomaru is eliminated from the individual competition by reigning champion Shido Tennoji and injures his arm. With Hinomaru out for the rest of the day, Odachi High advances in the first two rounds of the team competition without him. On the third and final day, Odachi High and Hinomaru defeat Tottori Hakurou High and Tennoji in the semifinals, before defeating Eiga University High and Kuze in the finals to become the national champions. Three and a half years later, Hinomaru is returning to the top makuuchi division of professional sumo after having suffered a serious injury to his right arm two years earlier. During the July tournament in Nagoya, Hinomaru defeats Tsuji before Mongolian yokozuna Jin'o, who has reigned at the top of the sport for the last decade, wins his 44th championship and announces he will retire if he wins the next one due to a lack of competition. This lights a fire within the young Japanese wrestlers and they organize a training camp together in Gifu Prefecture in order to defeat him. After Hinomaru loses on the second and third days of the September tournament, including once to Jin'o, the old Odachi High sumo club reunites to help him strategize and stays to support him. On national television after defeating ōzeki Kinkaizan, Hinomaru proposes that he and Reina marry after the tournament. Hinomaru goes undefeated for the rest of the tournament and defeats Ozeki on the 15th and final day. Although Jin'o is initially ruled the winner of his final day bout with Kuze, Tennoji calls a mono-ii and the decision is overturned into a win for Kuze. This forces the need for a playoff between four wrestlers with 13–2 records. Jin'o defeats his stablemate Akihira Kano, and Hinomaru defeats his stablemate Norihiro Saenoyama. Hinomaru then defeats yokozuna Jin'o to win the September tournament. In the epilogue six months later, Hinomaru and Reina have gotten married and he is still competing in the top division. ===== Kyoko Hori is a bright and popular high school girl, contrasting with her classmate, the gloomy and apparently nerdy glasses-wearing boy Izumi Miyamura. Outside of school, Hori is a homebody who dresses down and takes care of the household and her younger brother Souta. She tries to keep this a secret from her classmates. One day when Souta returned home with a nosebleed, he was helped by someone sporting multiple earrings and tattoos as well as a punk-styled appearance. The person recognizes her and reveals himself to be Miyamura. The two agree to keep their real personas a secret from their schoolmates, but start relating to each other as friends and later as a couple. ===== A woman's love life is threatened by her career success. ===== ===== On his birthday, Schneider, a contract killer disguised as a handyman reluctantly takes on the easy task of killing Bax, a novelist who has a substance-abuse problem that could do him in before his rival contract arrives. Mertens, Schneider's boss orders him to grab his rifle and get to work. He insists the job to be done today, adding, “Ramon Bax is a child killer”. Bax who is a total mess is also a pro-hitman under Mertens and forgets he was supposed to kill Schneider that day because, according to Mertens, “Schneider is a child killer”. Bax also has to deal with his younger lover, Nadine and his lecherous father, Gerard. But he is confident because his adversary plays by certain rules and won’t strike when Francisca, his adult depressed daughter is nearby. Both Schneider and Bax know they are being played, but since it is a contract they have a certain obligation. Schneider uses an escort whom he has saved from a pimp to do cover work for him. Francisca who is depressed and frustrated that no one is there to help her, kills her grandfather Gerard when he tries to molest her and hides his body in a nearby swamp. Francisca comes to know her father is a hitman rather than a novelist, and she tries to help him to finish Schneider. Meanwhile, Schneider picks up Mertens and props him as a target for Bax. Bax kills Mertens mistakenly. Bax prepares to leave the house since the client is dead and the contract is no longer valid; he considers this to be valid, in principle, for his colleague Schneider as well. But Schneider considers Bax to be a threat, kills him and hunts down Francisca as she is a witness to his crime. Francisca appears naked before Schneider near the swamp where she killed her grandfather. Schneider leaves her and joins with his family for his birthday celebration. Francisca appears to be disoriented or free from her problems naked in the swamp. ===== The story is built along the lines of the Gospel (The Advent of Mayakovsky, the Life of Mayakovsky, the Rise of Mayakovsky, et cetera). Back on Earth after one thousand years the Poet discovers the street he's lived on and shot himself at, "by the door of the beloved," bears his name. This detail acquired a sinister overtone after Mayakovsky committed suicide in 1930, troubled love life cited as one of the reasons. According to biographer A. Mikhaylov, the poem's protagonist is an oversensitive young man who suffers from social injustice and longs for social upheaval. The hero is a bizarre hybrid of a lofty neo-romantic superman and a real-life Mayakovsky, the former fighting the universal evils, the latter getting bogged down into petty everyday conflicts. At the crux of the poem lies the idea of futility of man's aspirations, both personal and social, due to the baseness of human nature and the power of money ruling the world. ===== Sid Sorokin, the new superintendent at the Sleep Tite pajama factory, finds himself patching up endless little problems caused by the cheapskate policies of his boss, Myron Hasler, acting for T. J. O'Hara, the owner who is taking a long vacation in the middle of nowhere. Hasler is a devotee of conservative radio pundit Fulton Lewis, ardently anti-union, and a self-proclaimed "fighter", but with no previous experience in the garment industry. Sorokin begins dating worker Catherine "Babe" Williams about the time the union is pushing for the same cents-per-hour raise that other garment workers have been receiving. Rejected flat-out by Hasler, Williams leads the workers in a slowdown. Sorokin finds himself caught between his love for Williams, who is now keeping Sorokin at a certain distance, and Hasler's stubbornness. As orders pour in for the Christmas season, Hasler gets frantic, and demands that Williams be fired. Sorokin explains that will only lead to a strike, so Hasler relents, but Sorokin finds himself very unhappy that weekend. Williams has to leave for an uncle's wake and funeral in Wisconsin. Sorokin gets himself drunk and dragged to a party at the wealthy Watson's house, where the spoiled heiress takes him to bed. Sorokin arrives at work Monday morning unsure of himself as Williams has still not returned. The union representative arrives and fails to convince Hasler to budge. A nationally famous management consultant hired by Hasler arrives on Tuesday, and also tells Hasler, rather pointedly, that he has to concede, and is dismissed. But the consultant runs into O'Hara, returning from his long vacation, gets him up to speed, and O'Hara chews out Hasler as Sleep Tite faces the threat of losing a three-state forty-store chain's business. Sorokin announces to everyone that the cents-per-hour raise is effective (and retroactive) and that overtime rates apply for the time being. Hasler wants to speak with Sorokin, but Sorokin announces he is quitting. That evening he returns to his apartment, depressed, and is surprised to find Williams inside waiting for him. She also has quit, and they start talking about honeymoon plans. ===== The Asgardian Lorelei enslaves a biker gang and begins to form an army. S.H.I.E.L.D. detects the opening of the bifröst in California and Coulson's team travel there, meeting Sif, who has been dispatched by 'Odin' (Loki in disguise) to recapture Lorelei. She enlists their help, explaining that Lorelei escaped imprisonment during Malekith's attack on Asgard, detailing Lorelei's abilities and showing them a device designed to prevent her to speak. Six hundred years earlier Lorelei almost seized the kingdom with an army of Asgardian men. The team trace Lorelei to the biker gang's bar, and a fight ensues between Sif and Lorelei, while the team fights Lorelei's men. The device to inhibit Lorelei's voice is damaged, and she enchants Ward and escapes to Las Vegas with him. Fitz attempts to repair the voice inhibitor while Skye tracks Ward and Lorelei, and the team head to Las Vegas to find them. However Lorelei and Ward instead hijack the Bus, and Lorelei enchants Fitz, who had succeeded in repairing the voice inhibitor; using it as bait, Fitz is able to trap Sif in the cell. May confronts Lorelei, who reveals that Ward is in love with Skye, and orders Ward to kill May. Sif is able to trick Lorelei into entering the cell and defeats her in a fight; Lorelei's power fails as soon as the device is attached to her neck, freeing Ward and Fitz. Sif takes Lorelei back to Asgard, while May ends her relationship with Ward. Coulson informs Skye of the GH325's alien origins; they decide to keep it secret from the others until they have answers from Nick Fury, and pursue the Clairvoyant in the meantime. May eavesdrops using a listening device, and then makes a call on a secret secure line, telling an unidentified person that 'Coulson knows'. ===== Director Ayten Amin has created a film that falls somewhere in between a drama and a comedy, which offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and culture of everyday Egypt. By following the characters through times of illness, intimacy, joy, and death, Amin has created a film that truly engages her audience. The main character, Hussein (Khaled Abol Naga), is a cranky architect who suffers from a terminal illness (that is never explicitly mentioned in the film). Unable to connect emotionally with people, Hussein enjoys a life in solitary, living in his family’s old home. He takes pleasure in an occasional visit from his nurse, Hanaa (Heba Yousry) or lover, Sanna (Arwa Gouda). When Hussein’s sister, Nadra (Lebleba) and great-nephew Seif (Omar El Ghandour), move in with him, he becomes uncomfortable because he is forced to change his lifestyle. Hussein is now compelled to start thinking about someone other than himself. Throughout the film, audience sees Hussein struggle with taking medication and having severe reactions to this medication which helps the audience know he is suffering from a deadly illness. Nadra and Seif are there to take care of Hussein by keeping up the house, helping him take medication, offering Hussein company, and keeping a watchful eye on him. Hussein hasn’t been into his office for work (architecture) in over a month, implying his deterioration. Hussein warms up to Seif and Seif’s friend, Aya (Sally Abed), because of forced close-encounters. He becomes fond of Seif, his friends, and his garage band, eventually joining in and showing the young-ins “what real music is.” The film ends with a scene of Hussein, Seif, and Aya getting into an old car and driving into the city; revealing Hussein’s change of heart and his coming to terms with his own death. ===== One night in a city, numerous animals, mostly cats in saddle shoes, line up to watch a concert. The star of the event is a cat named Frankie. The cat sings a lullaby-style song of moderate tempo. Some of the cats fall off the stands because of their affection for the singer. In a house in the vicinity, a white cat watches the performance through an open window. Lying in bed only a few feet away is Farmer Al Falfa who is the cat's master. The man, not liking the song, gets up and closes the window. The white cat, however, heads to the living room downstairs, and turns on a radio before she selects a station that plays the song. Al Falfa rushes to the living room, turns off the radio, and places the white cat outside. Without her master knowing, the white cat reenters the house through an open window, and hides under a chair. As Al Falfa is heading back to the bedroom, a pack of mice gather at the living room, and play the cat's song on the radio. The man returns downstairs, sweeps away the mice and smashes the radio. Al Falfa is back in his bedroom trying to sleep. However, he can still hear the cat's live performance, so he leaves the house with a rifle, aims his weapon, and pulls the trigger. Unfortunately, the gun does not fire, so he resorts to picking up a red stone which he hurls. The cat is struck head on, and falls unconsciousness. The cats, who are most shocked, rush to check on their idol. Enraged, they begin to chase and throw stuff at the man. After a chase, Al Falfa makes it safely home. To prevent the angry cats from breaking in, he seals every door and window with lumber, only for the white cat to come out from behind the chair along with three kittens who resemble the singer cat. The three kittens, in their squeaky voices, sing the singer's song. The man is driven to insanity as he cartwheels into his backyard and falls into the well. ===== On October 29, 1993, Beatrice High School student Charlie Grimille is accidentally hanged and killed after a prop malfunction during a presentation of the play The Gallows. His parents, along with the whole audience, witness the tragic event. Twenty years later, on October 28, 2013, the school attempts to put on a new performance of The Gallows. Reese Houser is excited, as this gives him a chance to grow closer to his crush Pfeifer Ross. His friend Ryan Shoos comes up with the idea to vandalize the set. That night, Reese, Ryan, and Ryan's girlfriend Cassidy Spilker sneak into the school and begin to dismantle the set, only to hear Pfeifer in the hallway. They try to leave but find that they have been locked inside, and there is no cell phone reception. Disturbed, Cassidy admits the trio's real reason for being in the school at this time, which angers Pfeifer. The group see the set reassembled and find news coverage of Charlie's death that includes an interview with his girlfriend Alexis. They discover that Charlie was not supposed to have performed that day, and was only on stage because he was the understudy for the main actor, Reese's father Rick. The group becomes separated. Alone, Ryan sees various things, such as a hidden room with a mattress and bed frame, and a body hanging. When the group is reunited, Cassidy is yanked into the air by seemingly nothing, leaving her with burns on her neck that look like rope burns. They return to the stage, where Pfeifer points out an air conditioning duct they can escape through. Ryan is thrown off the ladder by an unseen force, and his leg is broken. The group becomes locked out of the stage where Ryan lays helpless. They eventually get back, finding only Ryan's phone. The audience then sees footage from the phone. Ryan sees a figure holding a noose. He is then pulled away by the neck by a fly rig. As the night progresses, Cassidy is killed by Charlie dressed as the Hangman, a character from The Gallows. Reese and Pfeifer end up on the stage, where the spirit begins to choke her. Realizing Charlie wants them to act out the final scene (in which Reese and Charlie's characters are hanged), Reese and Pfeifer reenact the scene. However, when Reese puts the noose around his neck, he is hanged and killed by Charlie. Once he is dead, Pfeifer and Charlie, now appearing as an adult, both bow, and Alexis, who was watching the performance, gives a standing ovation. The police enter the house where Pfeifer and Alexis are living and watching footage of Charlie’s death, showing that Pfeifer is the daughter of Charlie and Alexis. When they attempt to question them about Charlie, Pfeifer warns, "You shouldn’t say that name." The officer witnesses his partner being dragged by a noose, killing him. Charlie then attacks and kills the policeman, as the screen cuts to black. ===== Three soldiers using the improved Centipede serum rescue Edison Po from prison. Coulson requests for Mike Peterson, who is now part of SHIELD's own supersoldier program, to help his team pursue Po and his supersoldiers. Skye discovers that Po was visited in prison by Raina, and their lip-reading software allows them to hear a sentence spoken by Po about 'the Clairvoyant'. One of the supersoldiers is identified as Brian Hayward, and Coulson and Ward go in search of his sister, university student Laura, telling her that her brother has won the lottery. When she calls Brian, the team trace the call to a California warehouse. Coulson, May, Ward and Mike storm the building to find Po and Raina have already fled but left the supersoldiers behind, and they overpower Ward and May before Mike subdues Hayward. The soldiers are revealed to have X-ray eye detonators, advanced versions of the device implanted in Akela Amador, and Po kills Hayward remotely before ordering the others to flee. Raina abducts Ace Peterson, and the team assume Po and Raina want to trade him for his father. The trade takes place at a bridge under construction, but as Coulson escorts Mike to meet Raina and Ace, Mike reveals that the conspirators actually want Coulson, who gives himself up in exchange for Ace. After taking Ace to safety Mike attempts to rescue Coulson, only to be caught in an explosion and presumably killed as Po and Raina depart in a helicopter with Coulson. In an end tag, Raina informs Coulson that they wish to know what happened after he was killed by Loki. ===== Over the course of two days following Coulson's abduction, a task force led by Victoria Hand searches for him. They start by arresting Vanchat when he was selling Chitauri metal to Emily Deville. His Chitauri metal is a match to the type used in the Centipede serum, so S.H.I.E.L.D. believe he can lead them to Edison Po and Raina. Hand is infuriated when Skye hacks S.H.I.E.L.D.'s databases to trace Vanchat's finances, and decides to eject Skye from the Bus after increasing the security on her internet blocker bracelet. Ward, Fitz and Simmons provide Skye with a satellite phone and help her evade other agents to go off the grid. When she is unable to gain access to a computer system without it being remotely shut down by S.H.I.E.L.D., she poses as an agent to blackmail corrupt businessman Lloyd Rathman into helping her. Po has taken Coulson to an abandoned town and interrogates him using a mind probe to try to discover the circumstances of his resurrection following the Battle of New York, claiming the Clairvoyant cannot 'see' what happened. Po's efforts are futile and the Clairvoyant kills him, putting Raina in charge instead. Raina treats Coulson with kindness, convincing him that he also wants to know how he was revived, and mentioning his father's death during his youth, and his relationship with the cellist, both of which the Clairvoyant knew about; she also reveals that she allowed the probe to be used on her. Coulson eventually lets her use the machine on him, reawakening traumatic buried memories. Vanchat's information sends Hand's team in the wrong direction, but Skye traces Raina's purchases and learns where she is, before regrouping with May, Ward, Fitz and Simmons to go to the town. While May and Ward defeat the Centipede soldiers guarding the town, Skye rescues Coulson, and Raina is arrested. Coulson removes Skye's blocker device by way of thanks, and informs the team that their new mission is to track down the Clairvoyant. He later meets with Streiten, one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. doctors who operated on him, and Streiten confirms that Coulson's reawakened memories are real: Coulson was dead for days rather than minutes, and was kept alive by machines which directly stimulated his brain with electricity, until a means of fully healing him could be found. His memories were altered so he believed he had a pleasant recovery in Tahiti. In an end tag, Mike Peterson, still alive but severely burned and minus his right leg, awakens in a basement and realizes that he has received an eye implant, through which the Clairvoyant begins to issue instructions to him. ===== SHIELD Academy scientist cadets Seth Dormer and Callie Hannigan go swimming in the pool late at night, only for the surface to freeze; Dormer is almost frozen but is rescued by another student, Donnie Gill. Fitz and Simmons are contacted by Principal Anne Weaver to consult in the investigation, accompanied by Skye and Ward. Meanwhile, Coulson and May travel to Mexico to find Richard Lumley, Linda Avery's ex-partner who went off the grid after she was murdered. Lumley reveals that he, Avery and other agents went to China in search of an 084, which turned out to be an infant girl (Skye); the other agents and an entire village died to protect her. Avery hid the child within the foster system, installing a SHIELD protocol to ensure that she be moved from one home to another to protect her. At the academy, Fitz and Simmons give a talk to encourage the cadets to remain calm, but during the talk Gill is suddenly frozen, forcing Fitz and Simmons to work quickly to save him. While the rest of the team go to a student hangout in the boiler room to gather intelligence, Fitz befriends Gill to find out if anyone would target him, and is impressed with the devices Gill has been privately designing, giving him advice to perfect his tech. Hannigan reveals that Gill and Dormer in fact staged the attacks on themselves to test their weather machine, and to lure Fitz and Simmons to the academy to trick them into helping perfect the device. Coulson and May join the others at the academy, and they learn Dormer and Gill were supplied with parts by Ian Quinn, who wants to purchase the completed weather machine. Dormer calls Quinn to secure their deal, and Quinn asks him to demonstrate the machine's capabilities, so he and Gill create a maelstrom around the academy, wreaking havoc. The device is hit by a lightning bolt, electrocuting both of them, and Dormer goes into cardiac arrest before May pilots the Bus into the eye of the storm to rescue them. The storm passes and Gill is incarcerated, having developed cryokinetic abilities from the machine. Coulson tells Skye what he learned about her origins, initially upsetting her, but she later admits she feels comforted that SHIELD has been protecting her for her entire life. In an end tag Coulson contacts Quinn to inform him that SHIELD is watching him, and Quinn responds by telling Coulson that 'the Clairvoyant says hello'. ===== Ian Quinn makes a purchase from Cybertek Industries, and a security team of mercenaries is hired to escort it to Quinn's mansion in the Italian countryside. Wanting to apprehend Quinn after he recently revealed he is allied with the Clairvoyant, Coulson's team boards the train carrying the merchandise, posing as ordinary passengers. May goes in pursuit of the package, but their communications suddenly cut out and Coulson and Ward are attacked by the security team, who eject them from the train and stun them with a grenade containing dendrotoxin, the chemical found in night-night guns. May is also forced to abandon the train and is captured by police chief Luca Russo, who is accepting bribes from Cybertek. Simmons is stunned by another dendrotoxin grenade, and Skye and Fitz hide her in a luggage carriage before following the security team to Quinn's mansion. May escapes Russo, who contacts Coulson and Ward and claims he was attacked by Cybertek; he meets them at the Bus but is killed by May. The three of them soon find the abandoned train, with a confused Simmons on board. Skye and Fitz activate a beacon device to alert the others, and Skye enters the mansion, going to find the Cybertek package in the basement. She discovers Mike Peterson in a hyperbaric chamber, before Quinn arrives and reveals that the merchandise is a highly advanced bionic leg, which he attaches to Mike. Mike kills the security team on the Clairvoyant's orders and then leaves, while Quinn shoots Skye twice in the stomach. Coulson's team arrive and apprehend Quinn, and they keep Skye alive temporarily in the hyperbaric chamber, rushing her to a SHIELD medical facility. In an end tag, at a playground, Mike asks the unseen Clairvoyant to let him see his son Ace, and receives a message through his eye implant saying 'Not yet'. It is revealed that the bionic leg was developed by Cybertek as part of 'Project Deathlok'. ===== In 2008, a combined task group of People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces and Chinese police raid a drug smuggling operation in an abandoned chemical facility in southern China. The leader of the smuggling operation, Wu Ji (), holds one of his own men hostage while taking cover behind a section of the facility's reinforced wall. Leng Feng (), a skilled PLA sniper, ignores orders to stand down and fires three shots at a weak section of the wall, penetrating through on the third shot and killing Wu Ji. Leng Feng is sent to solitary confinement as punishment, but is approached by Long Xiaoyun (), the female commander of the legendary 'Wolf Warriors', an elite unit within the PLA tasked with simulating foreign tactics for the PLA to train against. Long Xiaoyun offers Leng Feng a place in the Wolf Warriors and he accepts, being airlifted to their training grounds the next day. The Wolf Warriors field leader lectures Leng Feng on the importance of teamwork to success. Meanwhile in southeast Asia, crime lord Min Deng () is apprehended by authorities but rescued by group of foreign mercenaries led by ex-US Navy SEAL 'Tom Cat' (Scott Adkins). It is revealed that Min Deng is the older brother of Wu Ji, the drug smuggler slain by Leng Feng in 2008. Min Deng re-hires Tom Cat and his group to assassinate Leng Feng, but warns them not to underestimate the strength and resolve of the People's Liberation Army. The Wolf Warriors participate in a training exercise in a remote and uninhabited forested region on China's southern border. During the exercise, Tom Cat and his mercenaries ambush a Wolf Warrior squad, killing one of Leng Feng's comrades. Leng Feng and PLA helicopters pursue Tom Cat but he escapes, using graphite-powder weapons to deny airspace to PLA air support. Without quick-reaction air support to call on, PLA commanders cancel the training exercise and send a combined force of the Wolf Warriors and People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces into the forest to apprehend Tom Cat and his mercenaries. While re-arming from helicopter-delivered supply drops, the Wolf Warriors are inspired by a speech from their commanders to defend the honour of China and avenge the death of their comrade. The combined infantry force move into the forest but are delayed by multiple traps set by Tom Cat and pinned down by sniper fire from Assassin, Tom Cat's elite marksman. Leng Feng and the other soldiers cut down a tree with sheer firepower to create cover and Leng Feng sprints into the forest alone to flank Assassin, dodging his fire and managing to engage and kill him at point-blank range. Meanwhile the rest of the PLA force engages Tom Cat's other mercenaries, who stage a fighting retreat but are eventually overwhelmed and killed one by one. At base, Long Xiaoyun and the other PLA commanders deduce that Ming Deng himself is also in the training area to take possession of a smuggled cache of biotechnology, which could allow the creation of a genetic weapon that could target Chinese people exclusively. Leng Feng again pursues Tom Cat through the forest, who delays him with multiple traps including a land mine, which Leng Feng triggers but escapes from by digging a pit under the mine and jumping away from the blast. He eventually catches Tom Cat just before the marker delineating China's southern border. Both fighters empty their weapons at each other before engaging in close-quarters combat. Leng Feng, wounded and exhausted from the previous fights, is nearly defeated, but manages to kill Tom Cat with his own knife after Tom Cat mocks Leng Feng's patriotism. Medical personnel from a PLA relief force arrive, but Leng Feng recognises the wrist tattoo of the medic that approaches him and realizes that they are Min Deng's men in PLA uniforms. He grabs a rifle and attacks them, eventually holding Min Deng himself at bayonet point on the very edge of the Chinese border. Min Deng's massive paramilitary force approaches from the other side of the border, but so do the rest of the Wolf Warriors and PLA soldiers. Min Deng's force retreats. After the action, Commander Long Xiaoyun agrees to accompany Leng Feng for a drink. ===== The play is set in the near future.

When X-PO voices his doubts of Vortech's evil plan (as it is too dangerous to harness the Elements safely), Vortech decides that he no longer needs him and banishes him to the planet Vorton. Unfortunately for Vortech, his own body cannot handle too many more dimensional jumps, forcing him to open vortexes to the different dimensions and recruits their villains to help him search for the Elements while imprisoning the heroes pulled through them. These actions damage the boundaries between the dimensions, causing them to merge and characters to be displaced. When Robin (Scott Menville), Frodo (Yuri Lowenthal), and MetalBeard (Nick Offerman) are pulled into the vortexes, each unknowingly in possession of one of the Elements, Batman (Troy Baker), Gandalf the Grey (Tom Kane), and Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks) all jump in after them. The three get pulled into the same vortex and appear on Vorton, where the vortex generator they came out of explodes, prompting them to rebuild it. Aided by X-PO, the three use the generator to travel through the dimensions and search for the Foundation Elements and the five missing Keystones that power the generator (Shift, Chroma, Elemental Phase, Scale, and Locate) hoping to find their missing friends and stop Vortech's plan from succeeding in the process. Along their journey, they meet and assist the various heroes of the dimensions they visit, such as Dorothy Gale (Laura Bailey), Homer Simpson (Dan Castellaneta), Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), Wheatley (Stephen Merchant), and Scooby-Doo (Frank Welker) while fighting numerous villains, including the Wicked Witch of the West (Courtenay Taylor), Lord Business (Nolan North), the Joker, Master Chen, Saruman the White (Roger L. Jackson), Daleks (Nicholas Briggs), Lex Luthor, the Riddler, Two-Face, Sauron, General Zod, as well as Vortech himself in 1885 Hill Valley and a haunted circus. However, Vortech eventually realizes that X-PO is helping them. The heroes travel to Foundation Prime to find their friends and fight Vortech, but it turns out to be a diversion, allowing the villains to ambush X-PO and retrieve the trio's Foundation Elements in their absence. With all twelve Elements collected, Vortech unlocks the foundation of all the dimensions, a green Lego building plate, and is imbued with near- unlimited power. He merges Robin, Frodo, MetalBeard, and a piece of himself into a giant robot mutant known as the Tri, (Menville, Lowenthal, and Offerman) and sends it to wreak havoc on the trio's worlds. Fearing that a failure could lead to a transformation into a similar mutant, the villains bail out on Vortech. The heroes free their friends from inside the Tri and destroy the Vortech piece, causing it to implode. After the Tri's defeat, Batman realizes that they will need all the help they can get to defeat Vortech, leading them to recruit the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi), Mystery Inc., the Ghostbusters, the space ship Defender, and GLaDOS (Ellen McLain) to their cause. While the Doctor, GLaDOS, and X-PO work on a plan to seal Vortech in a rift loop, the heroes head to Foundation Prime, fighting him along the way. With their allies' help, they are able to destroy the Lego plate, which causes Foundation Prime's palace to collapse and infuriates Vortech. He grows to an enormous size and attacks the trio, but the Doctor is able to manipulate the portal technology and sucks all of them into a rift loop. Using a special device he, GLaDOS, and X-PO designed, the heroes are able to seal Vortech in an endless rift prison for all eternity, saving the multiverse. In a post- credits scene, an unknown figure finds a piece of Vortech's giant body in the remains of Foundation Prime's palace. He picks it up and instantly becomes corrupted, yelling in pain as he converts into a Vorton being. Vortech's laughter is heard as the scene fades out, suggesting that the figure has been transformed into another Vortech. ===== Viraj (Shivarajkumar) is an adopted kid, adopted at a young age.

Later that night, Mary writes on Facebook that she will be taking a "vow of silence" and deletes her social media accounts. She forms the idea to create a "Sisterhood", and recruits classmates Catherine Huang (Willa Cuthrell) and Lavinia Hall (Olivia DeJonge) as its first members. Together, the three girls venture into the forest at night, beginning their ritual. By the following school year, the Sisterhood has become common knowledge among school and all girls wish to join. However, no one knows what the group ritual is due to a vow of silence each member takes. New members are chosen by Mary and given a paper square as an invite. Emily, upset about being rejected, follows the girls into the woods and hides as the group ritual begins. While snapping a photo, she gets spotted by Mary. The scene cuts to her in her bedroom, posting a new blog post. The post describes how she heard the girls chant dirty things, perform sexual acts on each other, and claims they cut her hand with a knife before molesting her. Later, Emily runs into Mary during Mass at church and makes a scene in front of everyone before fainting. However, Mary simply declares she will never be in the Sisterhood. Mary, Catherine, Lavinia, and the rest of the Sisterhood uphold their vow of silence when parents, teachers, and reporters ask about the Sisterhood activities.

Mary spends the night on his couch before being awoken by her mother the following morning, who saw the photo. Gambhir is fired from his teaching job, even after he and Mary insist nothing inappropriate happened. Feeling that things are spinning out of control, Catherine and Lavinia try to convince Mary to tell everyone the truth of the Sisterhood, but Mary promises that she'll fix it. At a small press conference, Mary tries to talk to parents and reporters to dispel the situation. Despite her efforts, Mary is unable to settle the scandal as Gambhir defends the girls. Mary fashions the now- infamous Sisterhood paper square and gives it to Gambhir, inviting him to see their ritual.

They upload the video to the Internet, drug Lavinia, and take her to a Halloween party. At the party, they spread the video around while calling Lavinia cruel names. A now emotionally broken Lavinia commits suicide by overdosing on her mother's pills. During Lavinia's funeral, Mary, knowing Lavinia's last wish was to be kissed, asks Jeff to do so out of respect. A distraught Emily confesses that she made the whole thing up. She admits how she wanted to be in the Sisterhood so badly, she was outraged when Mary rejected her and lied about their activities as revenge. She then begs for forgiveness. Emily, whose blog is revealed to be a hoax, is persecuted by those who hate her for the damage she caused. However, others focus on how she still helped sexual abuse victims despite the false pretense that made her blog popular. Catherine shaves off her hair and finally visits her sick mother while Mary and Jeff reconcile their differences. She and Catherine decide to do a dance they had prepared for school, choreographed to Lavinia's original music, and proceed to dance through town in Lavinia's memory as local residents watch them. Emily stands nearby and Mary approaches her, giving her the Sisterhood paper square and inviting her to join their dance. Emily happily accepts and the Sisterhood girls dance down the streets of Kingston and into the woods. The movie ends with a narrative about how the Sisterhood will continue to be a secret to outsiders and the secret will be passed down to new members and soon disappear into the darkness. ===== Fiona struggles with work at Patsy's Pies after being promoted to assistant manager.

Ai is unsure if she should apply to such an expensive university and her mother reveals she and her husband got married and started their family while they were still students, and suggests Ai try an omiai. Although Ai is not interested in marrying someone she doesn’t know or like, she agrees to give a chance. The next day, Shuuji meets with his associate professor, who announces he is meeting Ai for the omiai.

He rejects her because he doesn’t love her, and Nanoya begs him to stop Ai from marrying someone she doesn’t love but Yuzuru refuses because he blames himself for how Ai's life turned out.

Yuzuru tells Ai they are allowed to get married and they share an emotional embrace. Their mother admits she knew about this, as she was introduced to Yuzuru on her first date with Mr. Souda and was eager to raise him as her own. Yuzuru still decides to continue his studying in America and Ai agrees to have a long distance relationship because she is only happy they can be together. Several months later, Ai visits Yuzuru in America for Christmas and he had planned a romantic night for them but their plans are cancelled when he is called to the lab for work.

With only a toy turtle to talk to, there is also a dark supernatural force watching over her. An apocalyptic event is alluded to on various news broadcasts, but Stephanie channel-surfs past them to watch Despereaux, Equestria Girls and Friendship is Magic. It is revealed that she is keeping the corpse of her brother, Paul, in his bed to occasionally yell at and physically abuse. After they make up, she sometimes holds his cold hand, which squeezes her back. As she does whimsical things like tea parties with stuffed animals, a shadowy figure will menace her, but the scene will end with a jump scare of her waking up in her bed.

Illustration from the 1876 edition by artist True Williams. Tom Sawyer, an orphan, lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri sometime in the 1840s. A fun-loving boy, Tom skips school to go swimming and is made to whitewash his aunt's fence for the entirety of the next day, Saturday, as punishment. In one of the most famous scenes in American literature, Tom cleverly persuades the various neighbourhood children to trade him small trinkets and treasures for the "privilege" of doing his tedious work, using reverse psychology to convince them it is an enjoyable activity. Tom later trades the trinkets with other students for various denominations of tickets, obtained at the local Sunday school for memorizing verses of Scripture; he cashes in these in to the minister to win a coveted Bible offered to studious children as a prize, despite being one of the worst students in the Sunday school and knowing almost nothing of Scripture, eliciting envy from the students and a mixture of pride and shock from the adults. Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town and the daughter of a prominent judge. Tom wins the admiration of the judge in the church by obtaining the Bible as a prize but reveals his ignorance when he is unable to answer basic questions about Scripture. Tom pursues Becky, eventually persuading her to get engaged by kissing him. Their romance soon collapses when she discovers that Tom was engaged to another schoolgirl, Amy Lawrence, and that Becky was not his first girlfriend. Shortly after Becky shuns him, Tom accompanies Huckleberry Finn, a vagrant boy whom all the other boys admire, to a graveyard at midnight to perform a superstitious ritual designed to heal warts. At the graveyard, they witness a trio of body snatchers, Dr Robinson, Muff Potter and Injun Joe, robbing a grave. Muff Potter is drunk and eventually blacks out, while Injun Joe gets into a fight with Dr Robinson and murders him. Injun Joe then appears to frame Muff Potter for the murder. Tom and Huckleberry Finn swear a blood oath not to tell anyone about the murder, fearing Injun Joe would somehow discover it was them and murder them in turn. Muff Potter is eventually jailed, assuming he committed the killing in an act of drunkenness and accepting of his guilt and fate. Tom grows bored by school, and along with his friends Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn, they run away to Jackson's Island in the Mississippi River to begin life as "pirates". While enjoying their freedom, they become aware that the community is scouring the river for their bodies, as the boys are missing and presumed dead. Tom sneaks back home one night to observe the commotion and after a brief moment of remorse at his loved ones' suffering, he is struck by the grand idea of appearing at his funeral. The trio later carries out this scheme, making a sensational and sudden appearance at church in the middle of their joint funeral service, winning the immense respect of their classmates for the stunt. Back in school, Tom regains Becky's favour after he nobly accepts the blame and caning for a book she has ripped. In court, Injun Joe pins the murder on Muff Potter, although Tom and Huckleberry Finn know he is innocent. At Potter's trial, Tom decides to defy his blood oath with Huck and speaks out against Injun Joe, who quickly escapes through a window before he can be apprehended. Henceforth, the boys live in constant fear of Joe's revenge for incriminating him. Summer arrives and Tom and Huck decide to hunt for buried treasure in a haunted house. After venturing upstairs, they hear a noise below and peering through holes in the floor, they see the deaf-mute Spaniard who had shown up in the village some weeks before revealing himself to be Injun Joe. Speaking freely, Injun Joe and a companion plan to bury some stolen treasure of their own in the house. From their hiding spot, Tom and Huck wriggle with delight at the prospect of digging it up. By chance, the villains discover an even greater gold hoard buried in the hearth and carry it off to a better hiding place. The boys are determined to find it and one night, Huck spots them and follows them; he overhears Injun Joe's plans to break into the house of the wealthy Widow Douglas and mutilate her face in revenge for her late husband, a justice of the peace, having once ordered him to be publicly whipped for vagrancy. Running to fetch help, Huck prevents the crime and requests his name not be made public, for fear of Injun Joe's retaliation, thus becoming an anonymous hero. Tom goes on a picnic to McDougal's Cave with Becky and their classmates. Tom and Becky get lost and end up wandering in the extensive cave complex for several days, facing starvation and dehydration. Becky becomes extremely dehydrated and weak and Tom's search for a way out grows more desperate. He encounters Injun Joe in the caves one day but is not seen by his nemesis. Eventually, Tom finds a way out and they are joyfully welcomed back by their community. Judge Thatcher, Becky's father, has McDougal's Cave sealed with an iron door. When Tom hears of the sealing two weeks later, he is horror-stricken, knowing that Injun Joe is still inside. He directs a posse to the cave, where they find Injun Joe's corpse just inside the sealed entrance, starved to death after having desperately consumed raw bats and candle stubs as a last resort. The place of his death and the in situ cups he used to collect water from a dripping stalactite, becomes a local tourist attraction. A week later, having deduced from Injun Joe's presence at McDougal's Cave that the villain must have hidden the stolen gold inside, Tom takes Huck to the cave and they find the box of gold, the proceeds of which are invested for them. The Widow Douglas adopts Huck but he finds the restrictions of a civilized home life painful, attempting to escape back to his vagrant life. Tom tricks him into thinking that he can later join Tom's new scheme of starting a robber band if he returns to the widow. Reluctantly, Huck agrees and goes back to the widow. ===== In one of the subplots in this film, Ayumi Nitta (Erika Toda) suffers from anthropophobia (extreme shyness & fear of people).

After long and arduous duty at the Eastern Front, the 1. Fallschirmjägerdivision is dropped off by parachute at Avignon for recuperation. Several paratroopers are injured during the jump, including Oberjäger Karl Christiansen, a former infantry Fähnrich who detests the war and was demoted for refusing to execute a captured enemy soldier. At the hospital he meets Inge, a nurse, and the two fall in love. However, Reiter, an Oberleutnant of the division, has taken a fancy on Inge as well. Right after their arrival, the paratroopers and Inge's hospital corps are re-assigned to combat duty in Italy. They receive the order to occupy and secure the area of Monte Cassino, including the nearby town, but not the monastery at the top of the hill, which is meant to shelter the evacuated townspeople and historical art treasures from the surrounding communities. Soon the Allies mount an attack campaign on their position. Upon learning about the art treasures stored in the abbey, Oberstleutnant Julius Schlegel, about to be sent back home for heart issues, decides on his own initiative to save the priceless artefacts, and after much arguing convinces the abbot to permit their evacuation to Rome into the custody of the Vatican. However, Allied radio propaganda claims that the Germans are in fact plundering the treasures, and the news quickly spreads among the Cassino townspeople and German command. Still, despite the threat of arrest and execution, Schlegel's division commander officially grants him permission and support for the operation. In the meantime, Karl and Reiter reunite with Inge, of whose presence they have just learned, which sparks jealously in the Oberleutnant. Additionally, partisan activity has increased against the alleged plundering. The final transport is to commence the following night, with Karl assigned as an escort and Inge going along to request medical supplies. For intercepting the convoy, local resistance member Fausto asks his friend Gina to retrieve a submachine gun from its hiding place in her house, which is occupied by Reiter. Reiter catches her in the act, and in order to avoid suspicion, Gina sleeps with him, but then Reiter finds the gun and forces Gina to confess. Then he and the rest of the division arrive to thwart a resistance attack on the convoy, and Fausto is captured. Reiter orders Karl to execute him, but Karl only pretends to do so, letting Fausto go. In return for this gesture, Fausto stops the resistance from conducting further attacks, and the convoy safely delivers its precious cargo to the Vatican. In February the next year, a major Allied attack commences, in whose course the abbey is hit and destroyed by Allied bombs. Most of the civilian survivors - excluding Inge, Gina (forcibly made Reiter's mistress) and several wounded and children - evacuate the ruins, which are then used by the German paratroopers as a fortified position.

The plot involves a large number of characters who are related to each other by family or acquaintance. The "accidental man" of the title is Austin Gibson Grey, a middle-aged man who has lost his job and is living apart from his mentally fragile second wife Dorina. Austin's older brother, Sir Matthew Gibson Grey, has returned to London after a successful diplomatic career. The two brothers have been estranged for many years. Austin blames his brother for having injured him when they were children, leaving him with a deformed right hand, and for having had an affair with his first wife, both of which accusations Matthew denies. Matthew tries to reconcile with his brother, whose actions and accidents drive much of the plot. The novel begins with the engagement of Ludwig Leferrier, a young American historian, to Gracie, the daughter of George and Clara Tisbourne. Ludwig has decided to remain in England after a scholarship year in Oxford, rather than return to the United States. He is opposed to the Vietnam War and expects to be arrested for having avoided the draft if he goes home. Ludwig gets a job teaching at an Oxford college. Gracie's wealthy grandmother dies and leaves all her property to Gracie, despite the fact that her daughter Charlotte, Clara's sister, had lived with her and looked after her during her illness. During the course of the novel Ludwig begins to question his relationship with Gracie, who does not share his intellectual and moral seriousness, and who discourages him from trying to help Dorina and Charlotte. He also doubts his own motivation for staying in England. Other important characters include Austin's son Garth, who had been Ludwig's friend as a student at Harvard, and who also returns to London at the outset of the novel; Dorina's sister (and Matthew's lover) Mavis, a social worker who has lost her religious faith; and Mitzi Ricardo, a former star athlete whose career was ended by a freak accident and who works as a typist. Austin, with whom she is unrequitedly in love, rents a room in Mitzi's house. Austin, driving Matthew's car while drunk, hits and kills a child. With Matthew's help, Austin manages to escape police suspicion, but the child's father starts blackmailing him. In an altercation in Austin's room Austin hits him on the head, apparently killing him, and calls on Matthew, who helps him to make the death look like an accident before calling the police. In fact, the man is not dead, but suffers brain damage and memory loss, so the crime is undetected. Both Mitzi and Charlotte attempt suicide by taking overdoses of sleeping pills, but both are rescued in time and are taken to recover in the same hospital ward. They end up living together in a cottage in the country. Austin's wife Dorina, having left Mavis's house where she had been staying, goes into hiding in a hotel, where she dies accidentally when an electric heater falls into her bathtub. Shortly before her death she and Ludwig had seen each other in the street, but ignored each other. Ludwig is remorseful about his failure to approach her and feels that his reticence may have contributed to her death. Ludwig decides to break off his engagement with Gracie and return home, where he may be drafted or arrested. At the end of the novel he is on his way to the United States, accompanied by Matthew, who had helped him make the decision to go back. Garth, who has become a successful novelist, marries Gracie, while Austin starts a new relationship with his brother's abandoned lover Mavis. ===== Tony (Emmanuelle Bercot) has a skiing accident that results in her injuring her knee.

He threatens her with physical violence. She tells him that he already lost her a long time ago, and that physical violence could not be worse than the emotional violence he has put her through. Leaving rehab, Tony returns to normal life where she goes to a parent-teacher interview. Georgio makes an appearance, and though it is clear they still care about each other and share a mutual attraction, they do not interact, and they do not engage in a fight or any of the passive-aggressive behaviour that marked so much of their relationship. Georgio leaves early, saying goodbye to the teachers but not directly to Tony, who smiles wistfully before turning back to the interview. ===== ===== In 1809, on a farm in Southampton County, Virginia, Nat Turner is a pre-teen slave boy. There is not enough food for all children and Nat's father Isaac notices that Nat is starving, so one night he slips out to steal some food. On the road, Isaac is caught by a posse led by Raymond Cobb. When Cobb tries to execute him, Isaac turns the tables, kills one member of the posse and flees. He then returns home, tells his family what happened and says that he has to leave the family immediately, but not without speaking to Nat once more, insisting that Nat is "a child of God" and has a purpose. When Cobb arrives and questions Isaac's family about his whereabouts, nobody says anything and Benjamin Turner, the owner of the farm, intervenes before Cobb turns violent. When Elizabeth Turner, Benjamin's wife, notices that Nat has basic reading skills, she starts to teach him reading, hoping that he can be helpful in the household with his knowledge. The lessons center on the Bible. Elizabeth even goes so far as to have Nat read scripture during church gatherings. But shortly before Benjamin dies, presumably of tuberculosis, he decides that Nat will not continue his education but will instead work as a farmhand. Now an adult, Nat is still picking cotton, but he also preaches and reads scripture for his fellow slaves on the farm. Samuel Turner, Benjamin's son, has become the head of the farm. During a slave auction, Nat is immediately smitten by one of the female slaves for sale, Cherry. He convinces Samuel to buy her as a wedding gift for Catherine Turner, Samuel's sister. Nat and Cherry fall in love, marry, and conceive a daughter. Since the economic situation in the South is bad, many slaveowners have problems feeding their slaves and fear revolts. Reverend Walthall makes Samuel Turner an offer: several farm owners will pay good money if Samuel will travel to their farms with Nat and have Nat preach to the slaves to pacify them and convince them that the Bible requests them to endure their situations. Samuel, himself in financial trouble, reluctantly agrees. During their visits, Nat and Samuel witness emaciated and desperate slaves and, in some locations, horrifying treatment of the slaves by their owners. Several additional incidents occur which infuriate Nat and make him more and more desperate: * Cherry is horribly beaten up and presumably raped by a group of white men, again led by Raymond Cobb. When Nat asks her who did it, she does not tell him because she fears his retaliation would lead to him being killed. * One night, Samuel hosts a party for guests whom he hopes could help improve his financial situation. One of the guests requests to rape one of the female slaves and Samuel acquiesces to the request, scarring her and her husband. * One day, when Samuel is not home, a white man who has been barred from all white churches in the county for unspecified crimes asks Nat to baptize him. Even though Nat knows that this act could lead to horrible consequences for him, he feels that it is his duty as a preacher and he performs the baptism, supported by Elizabeth Turner. For his insolence, he is whipped as a punishment. When his grandmother dies, Nat decides that he will rise up against the slaveholders. He holds a secret night meeting with some trusted fellow slaves, among them one boy from another farm, and prepares them for the uprising. He also talks with Cherry, who still has not recovered from the beating, about the uprising and she gives him her blessing. During the night, Nat and a fellow slave enter the house of their owners and kill Samuel and the manager. They then ask the other slaves of the farm to follow them, which most of them do. During the night, they take over several other farms and kill the slaveowners. During one of the takeovers, they notice that the boy has disappeared. A short time later, they are attacked by a group of people who had been alerted by the boy, and they have to retreat. In the morning, they enter the town of Jerusalem to loot it for weapons. They are confronted by a group of white men, again led by Cobb, but they manage to defeat the group, with Nat personally stabbing Cobb to death. But when they enter the arsenal, they notice that it is empty. They are immediately ambushed by soldiers who kill every slave except for Nat, who flees. When Nat manages to secretly meet Cherry once more, she tells him that innocent slaves have been murdered and more will be as long as Nat is on the run. So Nat turns himself in and is condemned to death. During the hanging, Nat notices the slave boy who betrayed the group in the crowd but Nat does not seem to harbor ill will towards him. The film ends with a fade of the boy's crying face into the face of an adult soldier who presumably is the same boy, grown up and fighting for the Union Army in the American Civil War. ===== Bang Myung-soo is a popular writer of webtoons.

Immediately, her sex life with James suffers. To put the spark back into their marriage, James books them a holiday to Barcelona, promising Gina that he has reserved the same hotel room they had on their honeymoon. Upon their arrival, Gina claims the room is not the same, which James denies. Gina is later proven to be correct. During the trip, Gina is shown to be growing in independence and confidence while James is left behind, seemingly unable to connect to the version of her that no longer depends on him. Resentful of her diverted attention, James begins to show signs of possessiveness. After Barcelona, they attempt to have sex on a sleeper train. James, blindfolded, demands to know who Gina fantasizes about when she masturbates, seemingly doubtful when she answers that she only thinks of him.

Confused and terrified by her returning blindness, Gina brings her eye drops to her doctor, who promises to test them for contamination. James learns that he is sterile but does not tell Gina. While James purchases a new house at Gina's insistence, Gina begins to flirt with Daniel, an attractive man she had met at the public pool. When her dog overheats during a walk, Daniel offers to take them back to his home for water. There, he and Gina have sex. Gina later reveals to James that she is pregnant, unintentionally confirming her affair as she is unaware of James's infertility. James does not confront her. Similarly, when Gina learns from her doctor that her eye drops have been tampered with, she does not confront James. Their home is broken into and their dog is stolen. Some time later, a visibly pregnant Gina is apparently having trouble with her vision, now in need of her old cane and aid from James. She and James move into their new house. At one point, James tests Gina's blindness, intentionally hiding from her in her blind spot. He makes plans to meet her at a local school for a talent show in which she is performing. While he is gone, Gina receives an anonymous letter, written in crayon, which reveals that James was the one who staged the home invasion and released their dog.

Lula Ann Bridewell, who calls herself "Bride", is blue-black beautiful, the kind of woman who turns heads wherever she goes. She is tall, elegant, and dresses only in white, the better to reflect her beauty. But Bride did not always know her beauty or how to wear it. As a child, her mother Sweetness punished Bride for her dark skin, which ended her marriage. Sweetness’s husband Louis could not bring himself to love a child with skin as dark as Bride’s.

The janitor in charge shows him to an unfurnished room, still being papered. Once the janitor has left, the new tenant throws the paper hanger out the window, and fills the room with a vast assortment of things magically taken from his valise: a steamer trunk larger than the valise itself, a fireplace, chairs, a piano, various decorations and hangings, a fully set dining table, and even a whole family and a housemaid. The janitor, bringing in a small tray of food, is astonished to see the tenant and family enjoying a grand dinner in the magically furnished room. He runs away in flight. Later, the tenant is reading a newspaper by the fireplace, when the janitor comes in to present the tenant with his bill.

Teddy desperately resolves to get better through exercise so he can continue eating burgers, and Bob agrees to join him out of guilt. Teddy, through a misunderstanding, also believes that this means Bob considers him his best friend, a sentiment Teddy also feels for Bob. In reality, Bob doesn't consider Teddy to be his best friend so much as his best customer who he sees every day, but doesn't wish to hurt Teddy's feelings or stymie his fitness attempts by telling him the truth. Excited, Teddy signs them both up for an intensive "stunt man" boot camp. The experience is nightmarish for Bob. During a hellish exercise routine, Bob explains to the boot camp counselors that Teddy isn't even his friend, but just his customer and that he lied about their friendship to him so that he would have an exercise buddy and get healthy. Unfortunately, Teddy overhears everything. Furious, Teddy asks Bob how he could lie to him about their relationship, and Bob says that he lied because he cares about him. Teddy states that from now on, he is going to hang out at a different burger joint, called Dusty's Feedbag, ignoring Bob's attempts to apologize and his pleas that he still keep his health in mind.

Bob races to the restaurant to stop Teddy, knowing he will order it. Indeed, Teddy has ordered the food challenge, but Bob pleads with the restaurant owner not to serve it to him because it could kill him. The manager takes the stance that regardless of Teddy's health, Teddy still paid for it and he will serve him anyway. Bob's increasing protestation escalates into a fight between him and the owner, resulting in the owner violently throwing him through the window and out into the street. Teddy helps Bob up outside and states that what Bob tried to do was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him.

His parents are Ashkenazi Jews who have immigrated to Jerusalem. Amos' mother finds life difficult because Jerusalem is a desert, because her family lives in Tel Aviv, and because communication with them is difficult. Amos, an only child, is particularly close to his mother, who frequently tells him stories based on her childhood that often have unhappy or violent endings. Amos' parents regularly lend him out to a childless couple they are friends with. On one occasion this couple take him to visit a friend of theirs, a Palestinian Arab. They warn Amos to be quiet and not make much fuss lest he offend their hosts, but while playing with a swing he accidentally injures the Arab's little son. Terrified, Amos' father calls the injured boy's father and promises to pay all of the hospital fees. On November 29, 1947, Amos' family and others from the neighbourhood gather around a radio in the street to hear the passing of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181, which adopted a plan to partition Mandatory Palestine into independent Arab and Jewish states. Amos' parents are overwhelmed with joy. Amos' father tells him of how savagely his grandfather was treated by anti-Semites in Europe and how, now that the Jewish people have a country of their own, that anti-Semitism will disappear forever. Arieh tells Amos that while he may be bullied someday for being an intellectual, no one will ever mistreat him for being a Jew. Soon afterwards, civil war erupts between Arab's and Jews in Palestine. Amos' father enlists to fight in the war, while Amos and other children are recruited to gather scrap metal for the war effort. One of Fania's friends is killed by a Palestinian sniper while she is hanging up her family's laundry. Although the war soon ends in defeat for the Arabs, Fania falls into major depression and becomes unable to sleep or eat.

While taking anti-depressants, Fania abruptly becomes her old more lively self and begins to act normally with her husband and son. During a meal at a restaurant, however, she relapses once more.

During a visit from his father, a teenaged Amos shows off his new life but admits that despite his attempts at being a strong and healthy farmer he is still a pale and weak intellectual.

After Julien saves Marguerite from a horse riding incident, their uncle, Abbot, feels uneasiness in the siblings’ relationship.

Six years pass, during which Marguerite refuses to marry and spends her time alone. When Julien and Phillipe return, Marguerite shares a joyous reunion with Julien.

During dinner with Marigny, Julien excuses himself with Marguerite following him. It is the first time Julien and Marguerite are alone with each other and the attraction is too much to overcome. They try and fight it since they are not willing to admit they are in love. Instead they play an increasingly sexual game that includes trying to make the other shudder and squirm. After being gone for a while, their parents find them partially undressed and punish them for causing Marigny to cancel the engagement. Marguerite later meets with Julien in secret and confesses her love to him but, although he reciprocates, he rejects her. She tries to kiss him but he quickly leaves.

Their three companions—Mehmet, Michael, and Dixon—have left in a damaged spaceship to get help. Years have passed, and although Angela and Tommy initially held out hope for rescue, they begin to raise children, forming a new society which becomes known as "Family". Frequent and regular incest among their descendants is common, with few children knowing who their father is. Social life centers around powerful rituals: Retelling of story of the stranding, the worship of what few relics remain, myths about Earth, and the need to stay close to Circle—the place where the landing vehicle originally set down, and is supposed to return to and bring them back to Earth. Social norms are strongly adhered to in this matriarchy, and innovation is rare. Family lives in Circle Valley. Resources are stretched but they believe that leaving will make it hard for them to find when Earth returns for them. Eden's animals each have two hearts, green-black blood, huge and lidless eyes, six legs, and tentacled feelers around their mouths. Trees tap into the heat just below Eden's surface, bringing up warmth and providing fruit and other food. Nearly all plant and animal life on Eden is bioluminescent, allowing the humans to see, while overhead the Milky Way can be easily seen at all times. The novel centers around John Redlantern, a "newhair" (teenager) who begins to resent the deep social and technological conservatism of Family. Killing a deadly leopard proves to be an epiphany which opens his eyes to the Malthusian catastrophe facing Family, which has grown too large for its tiny valley. Supported by pretty Tina Spikestree and John's cousins (the passive Gerry and the club footed pre-adolescent, thoughtful Jeff), John engages in a series of iconoclastic acts which lead to the "breaking" of Family. Exile of John and his teenaged followers is only the first of many ramifications, as John leads a messianic quest for a land "over Cold Dark" where Family can grow and thrive. ===== Margherita (Margherita Buy) is a director working on a social-realist film about a factory strike called Noi siamo qui (We Are Here), starring American actor Barry Huggins (John Turturro) as the factory owner.

Her brother Giovanni (Nanni Moretti) has taken time off work to help care for their ailing mother, Ada (Giulia Lazzarini), a retired classics teacher who has been hospitalised. Margherita comes to feel guilty for not taking on more responsibility for her mother and reflects on her often cold relations with her family, friends and colleagues. ===== In October 1944, Saul Ausländer works as a Sonderkommando Jewish–Hungarian prisoner in Auschwitz. His job is to salvage valuables from the clothing of the dead, drag bodies from the gas chambers and scrub the chambers before the next group arrives to be gassed. He works stoically, seemingly having been numbed by the daily horrors. Among the dead after a gassing is a boy who is still barely alive, and Saul witnesses a Nazi physician suffocate the boy and call for an autopsy. Saul steps forth and insists on carrying the body himself to the prison doctor, Miklós, a fellow Hungarian prisoner and a forced assistant to Josef Mengele. He asks Miklós to not cut up the boy, so he can give him a proper Jewish burial. Miklós declines, but says he can have five minutes alone with the boy tonight, before the cremation. Saul goes in search of a Rabbi to perform the funeral ritual. He goes to Rabbi Frankel in the crematorium, who dismisses Saul's concern and suggests that Saul perform the burial himself. Saul overhears Sonderkommando Abraham, talk about an uprising against the SS-guards with Oberkapo Biederman (Urs Rechn). Biederman first wants to photograph the camp's atrocities using a camera collected from the clothing of an earlier gassed caravan, and smuggle the pictures outside to attract attention and help. Saul asks for another rabbi and Abraham tells him of "the Renegade," a Greek Rabbi who has lost his faith. Saul in return offers his assistance in their plan and is instructed to go with a prisoner (Katz) to repair a shack; he is given a piece of jewellery for use as a bribe in case he's caught. When Saul and Katz arrive at the shack, Saul pretends to fix the front door's lock, while Katz takes out a camera from inside the shack and starts to take pictures of the cremation. Saul hears the guards and hides the camera outside in a drain. The guards search the shack, only to find nothing. Saul then sneaks onto a truck for another Sonderkommando unit, heading to a nearby riverbank, where the ashes from the crematoria are dumped into the river. Saul finds the Renegade, who refuses to help him. Saul then threatens to alert the Oberkapo of the unit, Mietek, that the Renegade is a rabbi by reciting the Kaddish. When the Renegade refuses yet again Saul throws the man's shovel into the water. The rabbi jumps into the river to retrieve the shovel or drown himself. Saul, who can't swim, manages to bring the Renegade back to the riverbank and both are then taken to the SS-commandant of the unit. After an interrogation, the Renegade is executed and Saul is allowed to go back to the unit. Saul is then confronted by Mietek, who realizes that he is from another unit. To mollify Mietek, Saul gives him the piece of jewellery. Back at the camp, following roll call, Saul sneaks into Miklós's office where he is caught by a group of Nazi officers. One of them pushes Saul around like a puppet and makes a mockery of Jewish dances, finally forcing him out of the room. After searching in vain for the boy's body, Saul confronts Miklós, who assures him that he has hidden it from the other doctors for safety. Saul sneaks into the autopsy room and takes the body back to his own barrack in a sack. That night Saul is summoned to clean the dinner tables by SS-commandant Moll. Biederman walks in and is ordered to write up a list of seventy names. This leads Biederman to believe that his unit will soon be gassed. Biederman discloses the information to Abraham, who instructs Saul to head to the women's camp, where he will pick up a smuggled package of gunpowder from a prisoner named Ella. When Saul finds himself face to face with Ella, he clearly knows her. She calls him by name, clasps his hand, but he withdraws. After collecting the package, Saul deliberately falls into a line of newly arrived Hungarian Jews, who are being led into the woods for execution. Saul again looks for a rabbi among the arrivals. A Frenchman named Braun approaches him and convinces Saul that he is a rabbi. Saul disguises Braun as a member of the Sonderkommando and sneaks him into the camp. When Saul arrives at the camp he is confronted by Abraham and realizes that during the turmoil in the woods he has lost the package. On further questioning, he says that the dead boy is his illegitimate son, an assertion Abraham says is not true. The next morning during roll call, Miklós finds Saul and tells him that he needs a replacement body, similar to the one Saul has taken. The prisoners are then summoned into the crematorium to get back to work, where they discover that Biederman and his unit have been gassed by the SS. Abraham starts a riot with the other prisoners and they attack the SS guards, starting the rebellion. After managing to escape from the crematorium, Saul retrieves the boy's body and escapes to the woods with Braun and few other prisoners. When they reach a river, Saul finds a chance to bury the body, only to discover that Braun is a fraud when he can't recite the Kaddish. When he hears the guards approaching, Saul tries to carry the body across the river. Unable to manage the current with the added weight, he loses his grasp on the sack and is pulled out of the river by Rabbi Frankel as the body floats away. When the prisoners arrive at a shed in the forest, they start to discuss a plan to join the Polish resistance. Saul notices a young peasant boy peeking into the shed and smiles at him, the only time he is shown with a smile. The boy runs away, and makes it a short distance before an SS officer grabs and silences him as guards run past in the direction of the shed. When they have all passed, the officer releases him, and the camera follows the boy into the woods, as the sound of gunfire echoes behind him. ===== Set in present-day Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, the plot of Masaan follows two seemingly separate stories that converge eventually.

They are interrupted during sex when policemen burst in, having been tipped off by hotel staff who suspected Devi and Piyush were indulging in "indecent behaviour".

He lets people bet on Jhonta (Nikhil Sahni), an orphan who works for him after Jhonta volunteers himself for the game. Meanwhile, Devi has to switch jobs due to the stigma associated with her having pre-marital sex. She eventually gets a government job in the railways in Varanasi, but news regarding her pre-marital sexual indulgence reaches there as well. The second narrative concerns Deepak Kumar (Vicky Kaushal), a Varanasi boy from the Dom community whose family works in cremation ghats by burning funeral pyres. Deepak wants to transcend the restrictions of a casteist society. He studies civil engineering at a polytechnic college where he meets and falls in love with Shaalu Gupta (Shweta Tripathi), a high caste Hindu girl. They start meeting each other and during a trip to Allahabad on the banks of the Ganges, they share an intimate moment. Back in Varanasi, Deepak tells her about his caste and the work he does burning corpses. Shaalu remains firm and tells him that she will be with him even if her parents refuse. She asks him to focus on his placements and get a job, while she reaffirms her commitment to him. However, unfortunately, during a pilgrimage trip with her family, Shaalu dies in a ghastly bus accident. Her body with those of other victims ends up at the same cremation ground where Deepak's family works. Deepak is shattered on seeing her dead body and loses all purpose in life. He retains her ring as a souvenir. Deepak is eventually able to overcome his grief and discards Shaalu's ring in the Ganges. He gains a placement as a civil engineer in Allahabad. Later that same ring is picked up by Jhonta who loses consciousness underwater while collecting coins. He regains consciousness in hospital and gives the ring to a remorseful Vidyadhar, who decides to stop playing with Jhonta's life. He sells the ring and is finally able to pay off Inspector Mishra. Marred by the parochial mindset of people regarding her situation, Devi leaves Varanasi and joins a course in Allahabad University. She pays a visit to Piyush's family only to be slapped by his father. She comes to the banks of the Ganges to immerse the gift Piyush had given her on that fateful day in the hotel. Deepak, who is by the bank, notices her crying and offers her water to drink. A boatman beckons, offering both of them a ride towards Sangam. They both board the boat and strike up a conversation. ===== Two sheep farming brothers have not spoken to each other for forty years due to differences in their personalities, complicated by one brother, Kiddi's, poor temper and alcoholism (it is implied his problems caused him to be disinherited, another source of strife between them), and the other brother, Gummi's, resentment and jealousy over Kiddi's prize-winning ram. They live in adjacent houses on the family farm, legally owned by the sober brother. Both are unmarried and attached to their flocks. A prize- winning ram belonging to Kiddi is found to have scrapie after Gummi reports its symptoms, which is then found in two other farms, causing all the sheep in the valley to be destroyed. The farmers must burn their hay and disinfect the barns. Gummi kills his flock before the biohazards team arrive, but hides a few ewes and a ram in his basement, as they are the last of their breed.

Unbeknownst to them, George is approaching the office; he hastily leaves when he sees Andy and Joanne inside. George does not arrive for work the next day. Joanne shows in a new volunteer, Glen, who is replacing Liz. Having found out that George has made similar calls to CSL for years, Andy plans to go to the police.

In the background, Glen stands, and points a gun at Andy's head. He calls Andy's name, and Andy turns around to see Glen right before the credits play. ===== As described in a film magazine, growing tired of the monotonous country life, George Roydant (Hardy) and his wife Agnes (Boland) move to the city, where they become involved in financial difficulties after the husband has an affair with an adventuress, Attlie Damuron (Uzzell).
