Desperate to avoid litigation as a result of Melcher's assault of Erlich (T.J. Miller), the head of Disrupt offers Pied Piper a ticket straight to the final round, where they will compete for the grand prize. However, the team soon witnesses Gavin Belson's (Matt Ross) presentation of Nucleus, which reveals additional optimal features as well as a Weissman score of 2.89, the same as Pied Piper's. The presentation leaves Richard (Thomas Middleditch) and the rest of the Pied Piper team despondent. Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) and Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) contemplates about leaving Pied Piper while Jared (Zach Woods) attempts to pitch the company to people outside of the conference, only to be arrested by the police in an incident involving Adderall. Monica (Amanda Crew) tells Richard that she has been called back to Palo Alto as a result of Belson's presentation, and offers to have a drink with him afterward. At night, retrieved to their hotel rooms, the Pied Piper team remains pessimistic about the presentation. But Erlich proclaims that he will go as far as giving every man in the conference room handjobs just for the team to win. This results in the team mocking up a mathematical model for Erlich's claim, and Richard has an epiphany about Pied Piper. He spends the night revamping Pied Piper's platform and keeps only the compression engine. In the morning, he reveals the changes to the group and asks to present; Monica heads back to San Francisco to watch the team. As Richard presents, he reveals that because Pied Piper cannot match Nucleus in terms of features, he has revamped the platform and achieved a Weissman score of 3.8. The crowd gasps in response and one of the Disrupt judges hands Richard a file to compress: a 132 GB 3D video file, which Pied Piper had difficulty compressing. Richard runs the file, and it compresses into half of its initial file size. Richard initially thought the file was wrongfully compressed, but a Weissman test reveals a record-breaking 5.2 Weissman score, doubling the best score on record. The crowd cheers and Belson walks out in humiliation, Pied Piper is awarded the Disrupt cup and $50,000 in prize money. Afterward, the Pied Piper team is greeted by reporters and interested potential investors. Monica congratulates Richard and tells him that because of increasing business interests, things will only get harder. Overwhelmed, Richard rushes out of the back door and throws up into a dumpster. ===== Jubal A. Bristol loves country music, but his wife thinks it is beneath her to listen to it.

Nala is a bachelor, as he cannot find a suitable partner. Hearing this, a visiting sage, Narada, sings the praises of the daughter of Bhimak of Vidarbha. Nala, love-struck, goes into the forest to sublimate his sexual desires. There, he captures a golden swan, the male of a pair. The female swan curses Nala, saying: "May your wife too suffer separation and wail in like manner". The swan promises to come back to Nala if first allowed to bid farewell to his wife, new-born son, and mother. Nala trusts the swan, and lets him go. The swan returns, true to his word, and the two become friends. Nala asks the swan's help in winning Damayanti's favours. The swan travels to the kingdom of Bhimak, promising results within a month. Finding Damayanti in the palace garden, he praises Nala's virtues and his regal features. Damayanti pleads with the swan to secure her marriage to Nala. The swan makes her a promise, and flies back to Nala with the good news. He gives Nala a glowing description of Damayanti's beauty, and assures him that Damayanti's invitation will soon follow. His job accomplished, the swan departs. Bhimak announces a swayamvara (an ancient Indian practice whereby a girl chooses a husband from a list of suitors), at which Damayanti is to choose her husband from among the assembled princes. The sage, Narada, goes to the gods of heaven, Indra, Varuna, Agni, and Yama. He describes Damayanti's beauty to them, and entices them to attend the swayamvara. Nala travels to Kundanpur in Vidarbha for the swayamvara. Seeing this handsome young man, the gods are crestfallen. All four take the form of brahmins, secure a promise from Nala, reveal their true identity, and send Nala to Damayanti as a messenger to coax her into marrying one of them. Bound by his promises, Nala dresses as a yogi and goes to Damayanti as a messenger. In her heart, Damayanti has already given herself in marriage to Nala, and so pays no heed to the messenger's persuasive words. The four gods then take Nala's form, and go to the swayamvara. Damayanti is perplexed to see five Nalas at once. The gods curse each other in their jealousy, and become a laughing stock. To embarrass them further, Narada brings the gods' wives to the scene. Finally, Damayanti pleads with them tearfully, saying that they are father-like to her. The gods, pleased, bestow five boons on Nala and bless her, saying: "May from your hands flow immortality". Nala and Damayanti then marry. Narada also tempts Kali and Dwapara, Kali's companion, to compete in the swayamvara. They arrive late, and decide to take revenge on Nala for their defeat. For years, they are unable to harm the righteous king. Finally, taking advantage of a slight oversight by Nala with regard to his physical purity, Kali enters his body. Kala and Dwapar entice Nala's cousin, Pushkara, to seize Nala's kingdom, pitting Nala and Pushkara against each other in a game of dice which Pushkara wins with Kali's help. Nala and Damayanti send their children to their maternal grandparents and retreat to a forest. There, Kali makes life unbearable for them. Nala catches three fish, which he leaves with Damayanti while he goes fishing for more. The blessings of gods bring the fish back to life, and they jump back into the lake. Nala returns, empty-handed and unsuccessful. He thinks Damayanti has eaten the fish, leaving him hungry, and they quarrel. He does not believe her story, and asks her to return to her parents. Nala leaving Damayanti while she sleeps, by upright=0.8 Kali arrives in the form of a huge crane. Nala uses his garment to try to catch the crane, and in the attempt loses his only clothing. Damayanti shares her garment with him. At night, Damayanti's face reminds Nala of the fish incident. He also remembers her virtues, and is torn between two conflicting emotions. Kali comes in the form of a knife. Nala uses the knife to cut their shared garment in two and runs off, abandoning Damayanti in the thick forest. As he goes, Nala regrets leaving Damayanti and begins to wail. He saves Karkotaka, a cobra, from raging fire, but the cobra bites him, transforming Nala into Bahuka, the ugly one. The cobra narrates his own tale. He consoles Nala, saying that ugliness will make it easy for him to pass incognito, and gives him three garments which will restore his beauty when worn. Nala, as Bahuka, goes to Ayodhya. There, he becomes a horsekeeper to king Rituparna, as he is an expert on horses and knows the Ashwa-mantra, or sacred horse-mastery text. In the forest, Damayanti wails and cries, searching for Nala. A python catches and partly swallows her leg. A hunter kills the snake and saves her. He tries to touch Damayanti, seeing her beauty, but she curses him and the hunter burns to ash. Damayanti is given shelter by a group of travelling merchants, but Kali makes them believe she is a witch and they beat her. Finally, Damayanti arrives in the town of her aunt Bhanumati, where she stays on as a maid. She is falsely accused of stealing a necklace, but Damayanti prays to God and curses the thief. Kali, who had been hiding in the niche above the door, runs off, tearing off the wooden peg and dropping the necklace on the floor. Seeing this, the queen and her daughter beg pardon. Sudev, a brahmin sent by Damayanti's parents to search for her, arrives in the town. Sudev recognises Damayanti, and reveals her identity to her aunt. The aunt's family is sorry and, now showing the appropriate respect, sends Damayanti to her father with Sudev as escort. Damayanti sends Sudev in search of Nala, charging him to sing the secrets of her life. In Ayodhya, Bahuka responds strangely to these verses. Upon hearing this, Damayanti sends Sudev to Rituparna's court once again, keeping this a secret from her parents. Sudev bears the message that there will be a second swayamvara for Damayanti the next day. With the help of Bahuka, who knows the Ashwa-mantra, Rituparna reaches Damayanti's palace the following day. On the way, Bahuka and Rituparna exchange their knowledge of the Ashwa-mantra and mathematics. The power of these two sciences drives away the evil Kali. Rituparna is unaware of this change. Having heard of Kali's good and evil characteristics, Nala allows Kali to reside in a behada tree, and forbids him to enter his kingdom. Damayanti tests Bahuka in various ways, including with the boons of gods, trying to ascertain his real identity. Finally, she sends the children to him, and this gives her clear confirmation that he is Nala. The two are happily reunited. ===== The backstory of the Vandroid comic book is that its creators are reviving a fictionally lost sci-fi movie from 1984.

Lisa suggests attending a seminar from dog psychologist Elaine Wolff. Wolff mostly berates dog owners and her talk is not helpful, but when Lisa tries to ask her to help the Simpsons to empathize with Santa's Little Helper, she explains that they are underestimating how his sense of smell is strongly tied to memory and it brings back memories of when he was an abused racing dog.

It is soon revealed that the squatters are Sabrina (Marie Bourin) (the family's regular childminder) and her partner Eric (Hubert Delattre), whom after recently being made homeless, had come to an informal agreement with the family to stay in their home whilst they were on holiday. With all parties having signed a document agreeing to the unspecific occupancy of the house, the police claim the family have no legal right to formally evict the squatters, and could be accused of assault should they enforce eviction themselves. Defeated, the family resort to living from their motorhome, in a local, largely abandoned, campsite owned by the insouciant Mickey (Paul Hamy) (an old school-friend of Chloé). After increasingly unhelpful meetings with their solicitor, and hopes of regaining their home dwindling with the ever-delayed court dates, Paul grows increasingly frustrated and seeks comfort in Mickey and his equally carefree friends. Feeling the threat of constant emasculation and insecurity regarding his race, at both work and home, Paul looks to Mickey for guidance in establishing dominance over his life. Mickey candidly tells Paul he believes he is "choosing to be a victim" of his predicament, and encourages him to start taking charge of his life. Following several wild late-night parties out with Mickey's friends, Paul grows accustomed to their anarchic, often male- chauvinistic, way of life, and follows their advice to take back control through increasingly severe means. In an attempt to intimidate, Paul permanently parks the motorhome in their backyard, claiming the squatters can't legally force them to leave either as they are still tenants too. Growing worried for her husband's stability, Chloé visits Mickey and warns him to stay away from Paul - wherein it is revealed that the pair previously shared an intimate relationship, and likely had an affair whilst Paul and Chloé have been married. Ignoring Chloé's threats, Mickey takes Paul out one last time - however Paul becomes disgusted and overwhelmed when (in a drunken, drug-fuelled state) he accepts oral sex from a strange woman at a party, and tells Mickey he doesn't want to see him anymore. Mickey punches Paul, claiming "he is not man enough", and he and his friends leave Paul on the side of the road. Later that same night, sat quietly in their motorhome overlooking their house, Paul and Chloé are shocked to see Mickey and his friends storm the house, armed with Molotov cocktails and baseball bats. When confronted by Paul, Mickey simply tells him "I'll take your house...as you can't do it yourself.", and embracing his lawless nature, decides to smash and burn the entire house for recklessness' sake. After being confronted by Eric, Mickey viciously beats him with a baseball bat, to a bloody pulp, before he and his friends attack Paul and Chloé in a similar fashion. As Paul retains some consciousness, he watches helplessly as Mickey's friends proceed to gleefully destroy the family's belongings. Fully aware that Paul will not attempt to fight him, Mickey humiliates him by mounting and stripping the semi-conscious, bloodied Chloé - meanwhile Mickey's friends have proceeded to torture Sabrina and Eric by forcibly vacuum packing them, essentially slowly suffocating them. While the gang are distracted by Sabrina's torture, Paul manages to hide Chloé safely in a closet, and sneaks outside to the motorhome, wherein he drives at high-speed into the side of the house, successfully crashing through the wall and knocking down a few of Mickey's friends on the other side. Managing to ambush Franck (Eddy Leduc) from under the motorhome, Paul brutally smashes his skull with a brick. Now, faced only with Mickey, he is able to lure him inside the motorhome, where he has laid a trap. Having severed the main gas pipe, and with Mickey locked inside, Paul manages to throw a Molotov cocktail at the vehicle, causing it to explode. Miraculously, (although weak and severely burned) Mickey stumbles from the burning motorhome and attacks Paul. Chloé sneaks behind Mickey and is able to temporarily incapacitate him, using a pressure washer, before Paul mercilessly beats him with a baseball bat, as Chloé looks on horrified. As Paul looks down at Mickey's bloodied face, he sees a flash of his own face instead, before the body briefly springs back to life to utter, "There you are. You got your house back.", before falling down dead once more. The couple return, weeping, to the burning house to rescue Sabrina, only for Paul to glance back at Mickey's body to find he has completely vanished. Some time later, we see the family has successfully moved back into what remains of their home. After putting Louis to bed, the couple (both visually bruised and scarred) undress and engage in passionate sex, as the credits roll. ===== Compassion leads Walter Laidlaw, a man of no strong religious views, to assist a group of Covenanters in hiding near his farm of Chapelhope.

An argument over the cost of gasoline and the group's individual roles leads to Mac, the self-proclaimed "brains of the organization", proposing a plan to solve the gas crisis: purchase gasoline through a bank loan, store it in Paddy's basement, then sell it a year later at a higher price. The three are turned down by the bank, however, when they can't agree on who will seduce the female bank teller. They proceed to get their funding by stealing Dee's life savings from her sock drawer. They head to a gas station and began pumping gasoline into barrels, but are stopped by the gas station attendant. They then transport gas through Dennis's car and have Charlie siphon it out, but the strategy proves to be ineffective.

Furious at Bruce's action, Frank purchases a "rape van" to spy on Bruce at his apartment, thinking that he would find evidence that Bruce's donation was a deal with terrorists. Frank and Dee then break into the apartment and plant baby monitors and fertilizers. While the two were scouting outside of Bruce's apartment, Mac steals the van and crashes into a car that Dee previously hit. Charlie, Dennis, and Mac then use the van to store the gasoline and sell them from door-to-door. However, Charlie's character of a Texan oilman scares a householder and leads to her calling the police, causing the three to flee in response. Back at the bar, Frank, thinking that Dee set him up, waterboards her with the men's room urinal. Mac, Charlie, and Dennis then enter, revealing that they stole the van. Mac then realizes that the paradigm of the group was off because Frank and Dee weren't included. The gang then decides to combine their schemes together: they will torture Bruce into confessing being a terrorist collaborator, turn him to the authorities, and use the reward money to purchase gas. However, en route to the apartment, Charlie, playing his role as the "wild card" of the group, reveals he cut the van's brakes and jumps out. The remaining gang members panic and jump out as well. The free-wheeling van full of gasoline then crashes into the car the gang previously hit and destroys it. The car's owner, the occupant of the apartment thought to be Bruce's, runs out to witness the destruction of his car. Upon seeing the man, the gang realizes that they were onto the wrong person and run away from the scene. ===== A third-term congresswoman who is running for the fourth time is suddenly unable to lie a few days before the elections are about to take place.

He tries to sell his items to a local man named Vernier, without realising that Vernier is strongly opposed to Saint-Simonianism. As a practical joke, Vernier recommends that he sells his items to his insane neighbour Margaritis. After a long discussion with Margaritis filled with comic misunderstandings, Gaudissart sells some children's newspaper subscriptions to him, and also agrees to buy two barrels of wine from Margaritis. Vernier eavesdrops on this conversation and brags about it to his friends. When he gets back to his hotel, the landlord tells Gaudissart that he has been fooled, and that the wine barrels he bought from Margaritis do not exist. Gaudissart is angry about this, and then confronts Vernier and challenges him to a duel. The next morning Gaudissart and Vernier meet for their duel and both deliberately miss their shots. They then reconcile, and a relieved Vernier agrees to buy some children's newspaper subscriptions from him. Gaudissart then threatens to take legal action over the nonexistent barrels of wine that Margaritis owes him, so Madame Margaritis agrees to pay him compensation for these instead. ===== Sarita Pillai and Sushant Pillai are a married couple that live in a lower middle class neighborhood of Mumbai, trying to make ends meet with their young son. While the movie shows the daily struggles of a lower middle class family in Mumbai with all its up and downs, a flashback shows that Sarita and Sushant have a musical background and during a reality singing show, Sarita freezes onstage when the lights reveal a large audience. This past experience chokes her frequently, bringing stress and anxiety. Sarita is now the breadwinner of the family, working as a bank teller while Sushant remains frequently unemployed or engages in small schemes to make money with his neighbors. The burden on Sarita to work long hours at the bank with full responsibility at home causes frequent fights and issues between them. In midst of this, viewers learn that an unknown man brings a heavy suitcase in the same building as the Pillai's who rolls up large cash bundles in a ziploc bag and stuffs it in the bathroom drain. This hidden location is meant to imply hiding of black-money, which is learned to be the cause of choking the water sewage pipe, often causing unusual noises in Pillai's kitchen sink. One night, Sarita wakes up to drink water and she hears loud noises in the same pipe. She goes to check and starts to open and clean up the dirty water. To her surprise, she finds those hidden stuffed bags containing cash. She is astounded and after verifying the validity of the cash at her bank, she uses that cash to pay off Sushant's debt and indulge in buying high- end items for her home. Upon Sushant's inquiry, she responds that she has extra cash from her mother's fixed deposit. Amidst this, episodes of the struggles of her neighbors and continued acrimony between them is shown. In particular, she shares a friendly yet stressful relationship with her neighbor downstairs, whom she adoringly calls Tai (meaning sister in Marathi). With nightly rituals of waking up and un-choking her kitchen pipeline, she continues to benefit from the new source of endless cash and uses it to indulge herself. However, all this free money ends abruptly, when she learns that Prime Minister Modi has introduced demonetization with banning notes of Rs. 500 and 1000. She and her neighbor Tai are distraught as Tai is preparing for her daughter's wedding and Sarita finds her free money ending, putting her back in the same struggle filled life that seemed to resolve with new money. Sarita's life becomes even worse than before with angry customers, long hours and stress at the bank from the demonetization. Meanwhile, Sushant suspects that Sarita is having an extra-martial affair after being shown a video from Sarita's encounter with Reddy, a man from whom Sushant has borrowed money that Sarita had previously paid off from the "choked" money. Sarita goes to check the kitchen pipe and finds new currency notes of Rs. 2000 denomination, exciting her that despite cash restrictions imposed by the national government, she continues to get this "choked money" and uses it. Sarita goes to great lengths to hide this secret, even from Sushant by frequently locking up her kitchen and preventing unwanted guests from even sleeping in the kitchen. Unfortunately for Sarita - her cash gathering comes to an abrupt end when thieves hold bank employees at gunpoint and steal all the money, including the cash that Sarita kept with her in her purse. She returns home saddened and dismayed that she loses at the most important moments in her life - during the reality singing show and now with this cash that gave her hope. Despite reassurance from Sushant, she hides the new money information and remains home. Unknown to her, the police are engaging in a criminal investigation into large sums of Rs. 2000 denomination notes haven been given to a local politician who extracted that from a corrupt bank officer in a different city. When questioned by the police, Sarita is dumbfounded, as she feels that her mere use of the "choked money" will now lead to an unnecessary criminal act against her as police inquire about the large sums of money that she had kept with her. However, Sushant intervenes and tells the police about the ziplock bagged money. During this revelation, the Pillai's neighbor deduce that the large bags being brought in their building were indeed by an assistant of the local politician that were actually newly minted money. They run up and take large sums of cash with them and return to their homes uncaught. After the police encounter the large bags of cash in the house of the assistant, then get Sushant's details. One year later - upon returning from a trip, the Pillai's happily learn that they have been asked to come and collect 10% of the cash that the police encountered during their raid. Upon asking how much money that would be - the movie ends. ===== Following a discussion of the nature of fear at a raucous cabaret, a man named Pierre claims that the emotion is unknown to him ("sensation m'est inconnue"), and accepts a bet to will stay at a sinister location all night.

Richard spends the night trying to find out how the correction was made and tells the team about it the next morning. The team realizes that PiperNet's AI compression abilities have become so advanced that it can bypass numerous advanced encryptions, potentially eradicating all privacy measures. Realizing the severity of its potential, Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) proposes that the only way to prevent PiperNet from abolishing privacy is to sabotage it at its launch. After initial opposition, Richard reluctantly agrees to sabotage PiperNet. But Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) recuses himself from the effort, thinking that his pride would prevent the sabotage from going through. On the day of the launch at Salesforce Tower, Gilfoyle sets up faulty code that will sabotage the launch through widespread disruption of satellite signals. But back at Pied Piper headquarters, staff member Gabe discovers the faulty code and reverts it. He notifies Dinesh, who is outside the launch event and is given the hard drive containing the faulty code by Gabe. Dinesh is forced to physically head to the top of the Tower through stairs and manages to upload the faulty code after a last-minute grant of access by Gilfoyle.

They are shown a skeleton of a large creature with wings and horns at a place called Uncle Willie's Desert Museum. Dr. Boley dismisses it as a hoax assembled from unrelated bones, but Uncle Willie insists that he found the bones together as a whole skeleton. While Uncle Willie tells them tales of demons from Native American folklore, an unseen force attacks the building, causing a rafter to collapse and kill the proprietor, and starting a fire that consumes the building. Dr. Boley and Diana escape with the horned skull and take it to a motel. The next morning they report to the police and return to the site of the fire. There they find a group of young men, James Reeger and four others, riding motorcycles around the ruins. The police arrest them on suspicion of causing the fire, against the advise of the Boleys. That night, two Gargoyles, appearing much smaller than the skeleton and without horns or wings, invade the motel room to retrieve the skull. Dr. Boley chases them to the road where one is struck and killed by a truck and the other gets away with the skull. Boley takes the body back to the room. The alcoholic hotelier, Mrs. Parks, complains but Diana tries to assure her that it was only a family argument. (There is never any word from the truck driver who stopped but then seems to have driven away without suspicion, and no further mention is made of the bathroom door that was destroyed by a gargoyle.) Diana returns to the police station and pleads for the bikers' innocence but the police refuse to release them. She tells Reeger about the dead gargoyle but does not mention it to the police even though it would prove their innocence, apparently because her father wants it for study. She returns to the motel. Two slightly larger gargoyles return to recover the gargoyle body, but the Boleys escape with it through the window and stow it in their station wagon. The gargoyles rip the passenger door off and kidnap Diana, then overturn the car rendering Dr. Boley unconscious. The gargoyles take Diana to their cave, where they have many eggs. She meets the gargoyle leader, who is larger and has wings and horns like the skeleton. He tells Diana that they have only been alive for a few weeks after a 500 year incubation, and that humans have repeatedly killed them off in the past, but he vows that they will survive this time. He has several of Dr. Boley's books, apparently also taken from the car, and insists that Diana read to him. As she reads a passage that describes a mythical encounter between a human female and a demon who molests her, the leader approaches from behind and startles her, but assures her that he has no interest in humans. Dr. Boley convinces the police to release the bikers and search for Diana, and Reeger joins them. Mrs. Parks and her helper drive away to get assistance, but the search party later finds her pickup truck empty and bloodied, and her body hanging upside down from a telephone pole with no sign of the helper. The gargoyle leader has a queen, who also has wings, and she informs him that "men, horses, and dogs" are approaching the cave, and that many more eggs will hatch the next day. The leader orders that the humans must be stopped in the desert. Over a dozen gargoyles charge the humans and both sides have casualties. The leader takes Dr. Boley to the cave and vows that "this is the end of your age, the beginning of mine." The queen appears jealous of the leader's attention to Diana, and she leads Dr. Boley to his daughter and lets them escape. Reeger douses the eggs with gasoline but is attacked by several gargoyles before he can get away, so he lights the fuel and sacrifices himself. When the leader realizes that his war is once again lost, Dr. Boley bludgeons the queen's wing with a rock so she cannot fly, and so the leader must carry her away. He flies away with her to create a new nest somewhere.Scott Drebit, Gargoyles, 'Daily Dead,' January 28, 2018 https://dailydead.com/it-came-from-the-tube-gargoyles-1972/Matt Barone, The 15 Best TV Movies Of All Time, 'Complex' August 27, 2011 https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2011/08/the-15-best-tv-movies-of-all-time/ ===== A trainee policeman, a job seeker and a hacker team up to find out who sent the message "What is the significance of your life?" to a woman who ended up committing suicide. ===== Chrissie is working as an ambulance paramedic.

A shocked Felipe faints, and the phial drops to the floor and breaks and all the rest of the liquid is lost. People rush into the room when they hear the noise, and see Don Juan's body with the head and one arm bought back to life and youth, and the rest still dead. They proclaim it to be a miracle.

Daisy is sent away to be murdered, although she ends up in Ma Grunter's orphanage. Several years pass, with the tax doubling, ostensibly to pay for more soldiers. Bert and his mother, Bertha Beamish, the king's head pastry chef, later guess Spittleworth's plot after Bert discovers a miniature Ickabog foot, the relic of a toy made for him by the now insane Dan Dovetail, identical to that of the supposed Ickabog. When she attempts to reveal the plot to the king, she is kidnapped and placed in the dungeons. Bert meanwhile escapes the city with the help of an incorrupt guard as Major Roach leads soldiers to arrest him. Arriving in the city of Jeroboam, Bert meets Roderick Roach, who tells him that Spittleworth killed Major Roach and imprisoned his family upon the latter's failure to capture Bert. However, before the two can go anywhere, they are captured by Basher John, and taken to the orphanage, where Bert meets Daisy. Meanwhile, Bertha Beamish has had the dungeons transformed into a kitchen, where, with the help of the prisoners, she continues in her old job, while slowly pulling Dan Dovetail back from his insanity. The four children, Roderick, Bert, Daisy, and Martha (a Marshlander whom Daisy had befriended at the orphanage) find out that Ma Grunter's orphanage is due for an inspection. If the inspector found Bert, a highly prized fugitive, they knew he would be recognized. They decide to escape before that happens. Bert and Roderick steal the keys, and the four hike through the cold to the Marshlands, led by Martha. They plan to meet the soldiers of the Ickabog Defence Brigade there, tell them their stories, and sway them to their side. When they reach the Marshlands, they realise that the Brigade has gone south for the winter. Succumbing to the cold, they fall unconscious. While they are unconscious, the real Ickabog carries them away. The four teenagers end up inside the Ickabog's cave. The Ickabog cooks them food from an abandoned food wagon. After Daisy talks to it, the Ickabog reveals that from it a new batch of Ickabogs will be "bornded". As the feelings experienced by the dying parent Ickabog influence those of its newborn brood, the Ickabog plans to eat the four during the bornding, to ensure that its children, which would normally only eat mushrooms, will become man eaters, to take revenge on and wipe out the humans, the cause of the near- extinction of the Ickabog race. In Chouxville, King Fred orders an Ickabog to be stuffed, and a ball to be given to celebrate the war. In the dungeons, the prisoners are arming themselves with kitchen knives and Dan Dovetail's chisels. Spittleworth, distracted with the problem of the ball and faking a stuffed Ickabog, fails to notice. Meanwhile, Daisy persuades the Ickabog not to eat them, but to reveal itself to the people and live amongst them, so that the people learn not to fear it. The group marches on Jeroboam, with the Ickabog handing out flowers to soldiers and citizens of the city. After overcoming their initial fear, they rally around the Ickabog, fuelled by resentment at having been lied to. After arming themselves (to protect the monster), they march on Chouxville. However, Basher John, having prospered under Lord Spittleworth's regime and realising the danger to it, steals a horse and rides ahead to warn him. Due to being held up, he arrives only as the Ickabog is approaching Chouxville. He breaks into the king’s apartments to deliver the news to Spittleworth, but is arrested, as Spittleworth refuses to believe him. Two spies deliver the same news minutes later. As Spittleworth prepares to investigate with Flapoon, he is confronted by the prisoners, who have escaped. They escape out the apartment, locking the exit, leaving King Fred to face the angry mob. As the Ickabog approaches Chouxville, Spittleworth goes to confront it with the Brigade. Despite Spittleworth’s orders to the contrary, when Flapoon sees the Ickabog's belly split, he fires his gun, believing that there are people inside controlling it. Bert jumps into the path of the bullet, determined to save the Ickabog at all costs. It hits his father's medal, saving him. The first Ickaboggle to be Bornded kills Flapoon, due to being Bornded in fear of his gun. However, the second Ickaboggle is Bornded kind, as Daisy is comforting the Ickabog as it dies. Spittleworth and the rest of the Brigade ride away. When Spittleworth reaches his mansion to escape with his gold, he is captured by Bert and Roderick – disguised as Scrumble and Withers, Spittleworth’s butler and groom – who had ridden ahead, freed Lady Eslanda, and bound Scrumble who is wrapped up on the floor. Spittleworth, King Fred, Ma Grunter, Basher John, Cankerby, Scrumble and others who benefited from Spittleworth’s regime are tried and imprisoned in the palace dungeons. Goodfellow becomes Prime Minister and marries Lady Eslanda, Roderick Roach marries Martha, and Bertha Beamish marries Dan Dovetail. The money from Spittleworth’s hoard is returned, allowing Cornucopia to be prosperous once more. A new city, Ickaby, is founded in the north, producing mushrooms, fish, and wool as its specialities. The first-born Ickabog, though initially savage, is tamed by Fred, and finally released, so that when its Bornding comes, the Ickaboggles are kind. Fred dies shortly after. Cornucopia lives happily ever after. ===== Anna is a young girl from a poor but honorable home in Denmark.

When a proposal is made that the migrant children should be allowed to attend school in the town, a citizens' meeting goes into an uproar. The town doctor warns that with the lack of sanitation and prevalence of disease in the migrant camp, the whole town will be infected by such a move. Ken's daughter Sallie (Colleen Townsend), a member of a church youth group that conducts classes for the migrants and fights for their rights, insists that the town should reach out and help their poorer neighbors like good Christians, but hers is a lone voice. The citizens' committee appoints Ken to find a solution and to report back in two weeks. Meanwhile, a new migrant family has arrived in The Patch. The mother, Ma Ashby (Sarah Padden), is hopeful about her husband finding work and the family becoming part of the community, but they are shunned by the townsfolk and taken advantage of by the owner of the dilapidated shack. The Ashby family attempts to attend church on Sunday, but they are stared at by the more well-dressed townsfolk and when they finally reach the steps, the church door is closed on them. Inside the church, Ken struggles with his conscience, hearing both the minister’s sermon about helping one’s neighbor and his neighbors’ invective against the migrants. After the service, Ken accepts a ride from Christian missionary Dave Harley (Regis Toomey), who takes him on a trip of discovery to show him what is really happening in America of 1950. He shows Ken the squalid shantytown and also the acres of shiny new housing developments built for the huge numbers of people seeking to put down roots. These modern developments lack any sign of a church, and so are losing touch with the Christian values on which America was founded. Back at the Keeler home, Ken's son Kenny (Larry Olsen) invites his new friend Nathaniel Ashby (Jimmy Hunt) to join his baseball team, but his teammates make fun of the migrant boy and Kenny's older brother Malcolm (Larry Carr) throws Nathaniel off their premises. When Ken finds out he is livid, and goes to apologize to the Ashby family. Seeing the squalor in which they live, he wants to give them a check, but Ma Ashby refuses to take charity. Instead, she asks him to join them at their Sunday church meeting in the shantytown, and Ken and Sallie attend. Ken reports back to the citizens' committee that instead of throwing out the migrants, they should help them. Sallie listens with pride as Ken sets forth his plan of action. Even though the town is slowly warming to Ken's ideas, the final scene shows the Ashby family on the move again, hoping that the next town they come to will be welcoming. Ma Ashby's voice is heard intoning Psalm 23, "The Lord is my Shepherd", as the film fades out. ===== Madame Firmiani is a beautiful young woman who is the subject of gossip in Paris.

Meanwhile, the agents land in 1955 near Area 51, a S.H.I.E.L.D. base currently working on Project Helius, an ion fusion reactor prototype. The agents kidnap high ranking agent Gerald Sharpe so the Phil Coulson LMD can impersonate him while Jemma Simmons impersonates S.H.I.E.L.D.'s then-current director, Peggy Carter, to locate Chronicom infiltrators. However, they unexpectedly run into Carter's former partner Daniel Sousa, who immediately outs them and has them detained. Concurrently, Alphonso "Mack" MacKenzie, Melinda May, Deke Shaw, and Inhuman agent Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez attempt to interrogate Sharpe to find out more about Project Helius. Though he puts up resistance, he eventually reveals Helius cannot function without a powerful energy source, leading Deke to deduce that the Chronicoms plan to sacrifice one of their own to activate the weapon and destroy the base. Agent Daisy Johnson arrives undercover and convinces Sousa to free her teammates just as a pair of Chronicoms enact their plan. May and Yo-Yo's first attempt to stop them fails after the former unexpectedly suffers a panic attack and the latter discovers her powers are not working. Recovering quickly once Area 51's evacuated, they chase one down while Coulson battles the other. Daisy and Simmons improve a S.H.I.E.L.D. EMP device in time to disable Helius, along with the entire base, the Chronicoms, and Coulson.

Agent Daniel Sousa for trespassing on Area 51, as well as seeing the world in black- and-white and hearing an internal monologue due to damage sustained while battling the Chronicoms. Realizing today is the day Sousa is killed by the Russians after delivering vital technology to Howard Stark, Coulson uses his historical knowledge to impersonate Sousa's contact and convince him they are to pick up the device while in transit. He also makes contact with his team via their Chronicom ally Enoch to let them know what he is doing. Agents Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez and Deke Shaw pick up the device, but the latter is kidnapped by Hydra agents and taken to their boss, Wilfred Malick, who has since become a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. officer since Deke last encountered him in 1931. Despite the danger, Deke manages to convince Malick to let him go after reminding the latter that he spared his life. After Chronicoms attack them on the way, Coulson and his team evacuate Sousa onto their mobile headquarters, Zephyr One, posing as top-secret government operatives to maintain history. Following Melinda May's uncharacteristic behavior around Sousa and the device, scientist Jemma Simmons discovers May acquired the ability to experience others' emotions. When Sousa reveals that he knows Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson deduces that the former actually killed him to prevent him from revealing their secret. After conferring with Director Alphonso "Mack" MacKenzie and Agent Daisy Johnson, they decide to find a way to save Sousa without changing history. Suspicious of the team's intentions however, Sousa flees Zephyr One to make his delivery. He successfully makes it to the rendezvous point and delivers the device before the modern day agents tranquilize him, allowing Coulson to impersonate him and fake his death.

Although young, he has telepathic powers and a keen intellect, and is helped by his faithful butler Alucard. Some of the cases he gets involved with are occult or supernatural in nature. The series was revamped for the second manga publishing, Boken Katsugeki-hen, where the story remains almost the same, although containing more gags and humor. Mugen lacks any superpower now, and solves cases with the help of his butler Alucard and his love interest Atsuko. However, the shady story of his family intervenes as well, forcing him to confront his villainous father and aunt. This iteration of the series received an OVA whose story conflates and references several of the manga's chapters. A much more serious, almost horror-oriented view of the series is given in its third continuity, Kaiki- hen, where Mugen is now a suave, distinguished ladies man in his twenties. He works mostly alone and meets a long string of lovers in his cases, but is helped by his spiritual powers and his mentor Professor Yokomizo. This style was kept in the work's fourth version, in which Mamiya has a different set of powers. The last series is the trilogy Gensho-hen/Oma-hen/Meikyu-hen, in which Mugen is presented as a supernatural entity unrelated to humanity that fights monsters and demons. ===== Co-workers Joe Hanson (David Bruce) (left) and Al Green (Bruce Edwards) in their office Doris Green (Barbara Billingsley) comforts her husband Al (Bruce Edwards) after he is transferred because he is Jewish Joe, Beth, and Joey Hanson settle into their new home in Springville, where Joe has found a job as production manager for the Baker company, and befriend their neighbors, the Greens. When Joe reports for work, he discovers that Al Green has been running the division until his arrival and, if Joe determines him fit, will earn a permanent position. Joe gives Al a lift home and when his car is blocked by the stalled car of a black man, they hear derisive calls of "nigger" from other drivers. Joe tells Al that he is a Scandinavian-American Protestant and is not prejudiced toward anyone. Al reveals that he is Jewish and often encounters intolerance. At home, Joe tells Beth that her new friends are Jewish and she should be careful what she says about them. When Joey asks, "What's wrong with Jews?" Joe tells him they are just like any other people. Pamphlets warning against the influence of "Negros, Jews and foreigners" appear in the town and the minister delivers a sermon urging his congregants to treat others with brotherhood and love. At work, Joe begins to feel that the talented Al is going to take over his job. He begins putting in a lot of overtime to take care of everything himself. During a home visit from the minister, Joey comes in after a fight, saying that he and his friends beat some "wops". Joe is horrified by Joey's behavior, wondering where it came from. The minister explains that prejudicial attitudes begin in childhood, and urges Joe to think of his own youthful experiences. Joe now remembers his mother complaining about foreigners competing for his father's job, and how he also lost a delivery route to a Jewish boy. He further remembers being tackled by a Jewish classmate in a football game and being convinced by the others that the "dirty Jew" cheated. The minister now explains to Joe that all prejudice and scapegoating stem from personal insecurity and fear. When Joe's boss asks him about Al's work performance, Joe replies that although he himself doesn't feel this way, others in the company might not be comfortable working with a Jew. The boss decides to transfer Al to another division for the good of the company. In the Green home, Al's wife consoles him but he maintains that Jews will always suffer prejudice. Meanwhile, in the Hanson home, Beth realizes to her horror that Joe had something to do with Al's transfer. Joey comes in crying that other children are calling him a "dumb Swede". Joe realizes that prejudice is everywhere, and can play both ways. The minister delivers another sermon in which he advises that to overcome prejudice, one must strengthen his faith in Christ, who loves all men equally. This will imbue him with personal security and dignity, and eliminate his fear of others. Joe drops off Joey and Ellen Green at their school and watches a group of children taunt Ellen, calling her "Jew". Joe drives away with conflicted feelings, hearing the minister's words in his head. Finally he works up the nerve to admit his prejudicial statement to his boss and ask him to reinstate Green as his assistant. ===== One day, Nathan wakes up and his girlfriend Jay is missing.

Arthur reveals that Lucy suffers for three weeks from a mysterious illness that leaves her pale and weak. She also has two tiny wounds on her throat.

This comes as Richard (Thomas Middleditch) and the Pied Piper team remain pessimistic about the pending verdict in their binding arbitration case with Hooli. Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) suggests to Richard that they should delete the Pied Piper algorithm if Hooli wins. At the same time, Erlich (T.J. Miller) announces to the team that he is putting the house on sale due to the lack of success coming out of his incubator. Meanwhile, the live stream has reached 20,000 views after its link was shared on Reddit and BuzzFeed. And eventually to 200,000 after Manny Pacquiao shares the link on his Twitter account, leading the footage to become a meme in the Philippines. To deal with the increased viewership, the Pied Piper team scrambles to ensure the server's ability to handle the traffic. Gilfoyle sets up servers all over the Hacker Hostel, penetrating a hole between the garage and the living room to connect the processors in the process. Erlich initially turns down a request to help from Jared (Zach Woods), but upon learning from the realtor that potential buyers are only interested in his house solely for lot value, Erlich turns down the realtor and helps the team code. The stream soon hits 300,000 viewers, causing a server in the house to catch fire before the signal was cut when the technician was finally rescued. At the arbitration hearing, the arbitrating judge rules that because Richard tested the Pied Piper IP on an Hooli computer, the company reserves the rights to the IP. In response, Richard secretly texts Jared to delete the algorithm. However, the judge soon reveals that while examining Jared's contract per Gavin Belson (Matt Ross)'s request, he finds a clause within the contract forbidding other employers from hiring contracted Hooli employees, which is in violation of California law. Since Richard was subjected to the same contract, his employment was never valid in the first place and therefore Hooli does not have the rights to the Pied Piper IP. A stunned Richard celebrates but then realizes that he told Jared to delete the algorithm. He attempts to call Jared, but his phone battery dies. He then rushes to his car only to drop the car keys into the sewer. He attempts to borrow the phone at a coffee shop, but then realizes that he doesn't know any of the team member's phone numbers. Richard then boards a bus and borrows the bus driver's phone to e-mail Jared, only for it to go into spam. He rushes back to the Hostel just as Gilfoyle deletes the algorithm, only to realize that the code set up by Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) to delete the IP has crashed, preserving the algorithm. Richard reveals to the team that they won, and they celebrate in response. A defeated Gavin, now under scrutiny over the fact that half of Hooli's employment contracts may be null and void, returns to the Hooli campus and faces the board; rumors spread of Big Head (Josh Brener) being listed as Gavin's potential replacement. Meanwhile, after being impressed at Pied Piper's performance during the live stream, Laurie Bream (Suzanne Cryer), purchases Russ Hanneman's (Chris Diamantopoulos) stake in Pied Piper, securing three of the five board seats in the process while helping Hanneman regain his billionaire status. As the Pied Piper team celebrates back at the Hostel, Richard receives a call from Monica (Amanda Crew) and learns that Laurie called an emergency board meeting and has voted to remove him as Pied Piper's CEO. ===== Landing in 1973, the agents return to the speakeasy to figure out the Chronicoms' latest plan while Daniel Sousa adjusts to the new time period, only to discover from General Rick Stoner that Wilfred Malick, who should have died in 1970, is leading S.H.I.E.L.D. in preparing Project Insight, which should not have been developed for several more decades.
