Davy's mother has difficulty adjusting to the new living situation, and acts resentful and cold to her son. Davy's father is more understanding, but also more distant, as he is remarried and sees Davy only sporadically. Davy's only friend is his dog Fred, until he meets Douglas Altschuler, a classmate at his new school who is also an only child living with a single mother. Davy and Altschuler begin spending time together, and eventually kiss, sleep in the same bed with their arms around each other, and engage in other erotic acts (described in the book as "making out" and "doing it", without more details). Davy seems comfortable with these activities until his mother sees the two boys sleeping with their arms around each other and becomes very upset. Shortly thereafter, Davy's dachshund Fred is hit by a car and killed. Davy now thinks homosexual acts might be wrong in view of his mother's reaction, and wonders if the death of his much-loved dog is punishment for his actions with Altschuler. Davy's feelings of guilt and shame cause a temporary break in the boys' friendship, but in the end they reconcile after Davy is encouraged by his father, who does not share his mother's homophobia. "I'll Get There" was the subject of a 2014 academic essay 'Navigating Adolescence through the Streets of New York: I'll Get there. It Better be Worth the Trip in Children's Literature and New York City (London and New York: Routledge, 2014). It is argued that although the ambiguity at the end of the novel 'does not make visible specifically, and unequivocally positive, gay identity, at a time when such representations were absent from children's literature, the use of the word 'maybe' [in the final exchange] both releases the protagonists from a certain heterosexual future and suggests the possibility of a non-heterosexual future, positioning both futures on equal terms' (p. 53).https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Literature-York-City- Culture/dp/0415823021 ===== Professor Beest Lee (a pun on "beastly") narrates over clips of animals and their quirky behavior. Scenes include: * An ant rolling a round object from one anthill to another. However, in actuality, the hills are connected to the same tunnel. * An orangutan (or the great ape) that sees a banana hanging from the ceiling, but uses nearby giant blocks and a saw to cut a hole in the ceiling of his cage to pull down a fridge full of food. * A mouse that scares an elephant but is then scared by a tiny elephant (in a throwback to Punch Trunk) * A running gag showing a dog, named Rover, patiently waiting on the front porch for his master that hasn't been home in three long, lonesome years. * Inside a food processing factory, a hen lays cube-shaped eggs, much to the chagrin of another hen ("Showoff!"). * A man who proclaims to an entertainment agent his dog can talk whereas all the dog's answers are "ruff", particularly for the answers to the top of a house (roof), the owner's name (Ralph) and the greatest baseball player (Ruth). When the agent throws them out, the dog picks himself up, dusts himself off, and declares to his owner: "Maybe I should've said DiMaggio?" * Another scene with Rover lying in wait. ("Faithful friend, good dog.") * A rabbit (Bugs Bunny as John) sent into space and returning with an alien wife (Martian) and kits. * A groundhog who uses advanced technology to predict the weather. * A chameleon that can blend into different unicolor screens but cannot bring himself to attempt a multi-color plaid screen: ("I can't do it!! I just CAN'T do it!!!") * Another scene with Rover waiting for his master through a terrible storm (and a bit of a cold). * The classic "trained pigeons" gag (used previously in Curtain Razor and Show Biz Bugs) in which the trainer's pigeons, when released from their cage, fly past the table of miniature obstacles and out the window. * A hospital room with a dog who has his bandaged leg. The veterinarian unravels the wraps and finds a cat biting the victim's foot and won't let go. (The scene is somewhat reused in the Tom & Jerry cartoon, The Cat's Me-Ouch.) * A beaver literally "damming" a river when a piece of the structure breaks off. * Spring, in the forest, where a pair of birds, skunks (Pepé Le Pew cameo appearance), and bears are cheek to cheek in love, including a pair of porcupines kissing and then yelp in pain from the quills. ("All but very carefully...") * Back to the running gag, Rover's master is finally home, but then gets beat up at the cartoon's end (the master turning out to be Beest Lee himself). The dog demandedly wants his supper because he's starved. ===== Yigal is a taxi driver with a burning desire to visit Paris, yet his fear of flying stands in the way of him booking a 5-hour flight from Tel Aviv. He then forms a deep emotional bond with a married Russian immigrant, Lina, who plans to immigrate to Canada.Five Hours from Paris Film.com. Retrieved on 20 June 2010 ===== A narrator (voiced by an uncredited John T. Smith) discusses automobiles and their advancements throughout the last few decades. A meek, short man with a moustache and glasses is seen in many of the sketches. Gags include: * A pan across many motorists stuck on the road (some of which are beating each other up or yelling at one another) because a woman in the first car is too busy putting on lipstick. * A man treating his car like a horse, whipping it to make it go faster. * A bridge that has half the toll, but that's because it's only half finished. * The meek man parking his car in a lot and getting it back in a paper-thin condition. * The meek man measuring his car before putting it in a friend's garage, but accidentally hitting the car on a tree branch. * The meek man looking both ways before crossing a rural road but still getting hit by a fast-speed car. * The meek man allowing a stranded motorist to siphon some of his gas, only to swallow the gasoline and begin sputtering down the road like a car. * The meek man being towed by a fellow motorist but the car frame getting ripped off when the other driver leaves in a hurry. * The meek man repeatedly stopping at a hamburger stand on a freeway, asking for directions off the freeway. The hamburger stand man (Stan Freberg, uncredited ) eventually realizes he doesn't know the way off the freeway and had to open the stand to keep from starving to death. The meek man does the same, only his stand sells mustard and pickles to accompany the burgers. ===== Pierre Frenay was a member of the French Resistance during World War II who saw the United Nations (UN) and the world governments as useless in preventing conflict and suffering. As such, he founded a secret organization to undermine and destabilize the governments of the world, which operated within the UN itself. Through terrorist attacks, assassinations, and orchestrated disasters, the organization hoped to discredit and dismantle the governments of the world so that it could bring all of the countries, their territories, and their people, under their fold. We are introduced to the universe of End of Nations with a synopsis of the events leading up to the present conflict. 50 years into the future, a worldwide economic crisis and collapse has resulted in a cascade of shortages and conflicts. This coincided with the failure and dissolution of almost all of the world's governments. As the world descended into anarchy, a savior emerged. The United Nations stepped in to restore order through aid and military force. The public reaction to this was initially enthusiastic. As the governments of the world had failed, the United Nations, now renamed the Order of Nations (ON), became the sole government of the world. To the shock and horror of the populace, this new government began to abduct people in the middle of the night and execute its citizens for asking questions. As a result of this oppression, resistance movements emerged. When the game begins, the resistance has been underway for quite some time. The Liberation Front, led by American war hero General Alec Chase, and the Shadow Revolution, led by former Order of Nations assassin Monkh Erdene, are part of the Coalition, an alliance against the Order of Nations. The commander controls part of the Coalition forces sent to assault the Typhoon Cannon, a massive artillery turret, at the Order of Nations base at Widow's Wall. The leader of the Order of Nations, General Sevastian Korvus, is also present, residing within the Typhoon Cannon. The assault on the Typhoon Cannon is successful. The cannon is destroyed and Korvus is killed. Yet, the allies bicker. With the destruction and collapse of the Typhoon Cannon, there is now a giant breach in Widow's Wall. Alec Chase of the Liberation front wishes to advance further into the base, but Monhk Erdene of the Shadow Revolution counters that their coalition has captured the Siege Cortex and that further advance into the base is not part of the mission. Land battleships from the Order of Nations, known as Assault Panzers, approach from both sides of the breach outside the wall. General Chase asks Monkh to engage the enemy forces so that he can assault the inner base. Monkh apologizes to Chase, reiterates that it was not part of the mission, and the Shadow Revolution forces withdraw. Outflanked and without sufficient support, General Chase is forced to withdraw as well, sustaining casualties in the process. Allies no more, the Liberation Front and Shadow Revolution continue to fight the Order of Nations while also fighting and sabotaging each other for control of territories and influence over populaces. And thus the stage was set for further conflicts between the three factions. ===== The film begins with a bearded man waking up in his house and going through his morning routine. He touches his cross necklace, grabs a stack of chewing gum, looks into the mirror and announces merrily "Showtime!". Den (although his name is never spoken) cruises the city on a skateboard and captures four future victims: a psychotherapist and his wife - Steven and Lolita Brewster; Cassandra - a militant atheist, who moonlights as a prostitute; and Milton Page - a respiratory therapist who once longed to be a nun. Den places his victims in a large abandoned theater. He chains the captives to the walls and doles out meager supplies that will keep them alive. Den is truthful to the group: He admits he is a serial killer and that they are on his "list of people to do." But he wants something... conversation. Through the course of nine days, he starts daily arguments and debates with the group. As the days pass on it is revealed that the group is not only tied by chains, but by personal secrets. Milton reveals that her passion to be a nun was squelched when she realized she had sexual attractions towards women. She also confesses to having an affair with a married woman. Steven's darker side comes out early on when his racial and biased belief system is heard. He has also been a disloyal spouse by seeing hookers, which is a surprise to Lolita, but not to Cassandra. Lolita has her own skeleton she wishes to keep in the closet, but Den opens the door when it is disclosed that she has also had an affair... with Milton. And when Cassandra admits to being an atheist, this shocks Den more than her work as a prostitute. It is revealed that Den is storing them under a church where he works as a priest. Den uses the captive's secrets to turn one against the other. But Cassandra takes all the physical and mental abuse and throws it back at Den with all the strength and stamina she can muster. As the final day approaches the body count rises: Den has cut off Lolita's finger because she was pointing at him. She dies from an infection, although Den was kind enough to cauterize the wound with a soldering iron. With Milton's sexual orientation and affair with Lolita exposed, Den manipulates Steven into stabbing and killing Milton with a crucifix-knife. He offers to let Steven get away with the killing, but recants, and when Steven attacks him in anger, Den beats him to death. The final scene has Cassandra verbally attacking the Bible and Den's beliefs. She calls out several mistakes that are written in this holy text and, thereby proves, if there is a God, he had no hand in the making of this religious manuscript. Den, after supposedly killing a few children, returns to kill Cassandra. He stabs her in the chest with the crucifix-knife. He taunts her about pulling the knife out so she can kill him. She doesn't and he feels that this is proof of the "no atheist in foxholes" theory. As he turns to leave, Cassandra removes the knife and tosses it at Den. The knife skewers his head. He removes the knife and rushes to kill her, but convulses and dies on her. Cassandra is unable to escape and dies. Their final death tableau forms the Pietà position. ===== Fai (Frankie Ng) is the leader of the Hung Hing gang.

In flashback it is shown that his wife had been attacked and his son killed for no apparent reason. When he reaches the underground room he finds a man hooded and tied to a chair and told by the distorted voice that this is the man responsible for the attacks.

An elevator within the building gets stuck shortly thereafter. Within the elevator is a temporary security guard, a mechanic and former soldier, a mattress salesman, a young woman, and an elderly woman. A repair technician is trying to get the elevator to start working again, but nothing seems to be working. After checking from the bottom, he’s almost crushed as another elevator almost drops on him. At certain intervals, the light within the elevator flickers and turns off for a few seconds at a time. During this, one of the security guards sees a face in the monitor and believes it’s the devil but no one believes him. While waiting for the elevator to reactivate, the young woman feels something on her back and assumes it’s the mattress salesman since he’s the only one standing behind her. Everyone in the elevator becomes suspicious of him. When the light first flickers off and reactivates, the young woman suddenly has a bite mark on her back, and the people within the elevator begin to suspect each other, including the mattress salesman since he has blood on his hands. But he claims that she fell into him. The detective, Bowden, who was investigating the earlier suicide, is called to the scene. When the light goes out a second time, the mirrors in the elevator are broken and the young woman falls to the floor screaming. When the lights are back on, the mattress salesman is killed when his jugular vein is slit with a shard of the elevator mirror and it now becomes a crime scene and investigation. Bowden and other security guards are working to get into the elevator, through the fire department and the repair technician, with no success. The four remaining passengers in the elevator all suspect each other of killing the salesman. The security guards in the control room, observing the elevator from a camera, can communicate with the passengers, but cannot hear what they say. The repair technician falls to his death when his relegation guard fails. Bowden and his partner work to find out who the people in the elevator are based on the sign in sheet. The temporary guard is identified as Ben Larson, who has a criminal record of assault and beating someone into a coma with a baseball bat. The mattress salesman is identified as Vince McCormick, who made a lot of enemies due to causing people to lose their assets through one of his schemes. The elderly woman is identified as Jane Kowski, who was caught on the security camera stealing a woman’s wallet. The young woman is identified as Sarah Caraway, who is married to a rich man and plans on leaving him and stealing his money, and has done so in the past. The mechanic and former soldier is not identified due to him not signing in, making him the main suspect. The detectives review the camera of the mechanic entering the building and sees he had a bag with him, which he no longer has on the elevator with him. Searching the lobby, they head to the bathroom and find the bag hidden under the sink filled with tools, making him more of a suspect. Meanwhile, in the elevator, the soldier wants everyone to trust each other by volunteering to a pat down, the soldier and Ben are patted down, before Bowden tells them to keep their hands to themselves. Sarah and Ben become close while singling out the soldier. When the soldier tries to climb out of the elevator to see if he could get help, Ben pulls him back in after Sarah screams he was trying to escape. The soldier argues that they knew what he was doing but they don’t trust him, with Sarah having a smirk on her face. The security guard replays the video of the face appearing to Bowden. The detective doesn’t believe him saying people are evil by themselves, and doesn’t need the devil. He reveals that his son and wife were killed in a hit and run accident, with the driver leaving a note, saying, “I’m so sorry” on the back of a car wash coupon at the scene. On the elevator's third blackout, the elderly woman is found hanged on a power cable, to everyone’s surprise. The building is shut down. The fire department needs to get to the shut off valve before cutting through the wall, so a security guard volunteers to go into the basement to shut it off. The security guard who saw the face explains to the detective that everything is happening for a reason - the killing and the reason why they are the ones watching it unfold. An unknown woman is trying to get into the building but is stopped by a police officer. She runs around the back. The soldier takes the elderly woman down, with the help of Ben. Each suspecting each other, from the soldier's calm state of mind, to Ben knowing how long it takes for a dead person to close their eyes. The security guard starts to pray, while Bowden and his partner are investigating the soldier, and as a fight breaks out between Ben and the soldier. The soldier suspects Ben as the killer since the soldier claims he didn’t do the killing and doesn’t believe Sarah is capable of doing it either, which leaves Ben as the suspect. Sarah starts screaming for Ben to kill the soldier. The soldier overtakes Ben, and Sarah screams for the detectives to get them out. Bowden rushes back into the room, getting the situation under control by having them all put their hands up on the wall. The soldier waits for Ben and Sarah to do so before putting his hands on the wall. Bowden, with no clue on who is really the killer, asks the security guard, if what he’s saying is true, how would he be able to save them, and the security guard responds that “they all die”. The security guard (Lustig) in the basement shuts off the valve. On his way up, he notices a wire on the ground with sparks flying out of it. He picks it up with a metal rod and goes to place it back on the wall. He reaches over and ends up stepping into a puddle of water. There is an electrical surge in the building. Meanwhile, the detectives are trying to get to Sarah’s husband. Lustig, who was severely shocked, stumbles into the lobby, causing a scene. Bowden calls for the medics, but it’s unknown if he survives. In the elevator, Sarah takes her hands off the wall claiming it hurts. The soldier tells her to put her hand back onto the wall. She glares at him. Bowden finds out from Sarah’s lawyer that she took all of her husband's money and that he might know it. Figuring out the husband owns the security company for the building, they suspect the husband hired Ben to kill Sarah and Ben killed the others to cover the track of who was really the target. However, during the fourth outage, Ben's neck is broken. The only survivors, the soldier and Sarah, suspect each other and arm themselves with shards of the mirror. Bowden attempts to defuse the situation with the story about his recovery from alcoholism after the death of his family. When the light goes out one last time, Sarah's throat is slit. As the soldier attempts to stop the bleeding, the unknown woman who was trying to get into the building, is brought into the control room claiming she knows the soldier. She says that he was in the building for his first day on the job. He didn’t want to take his tools, so he hid them in the bathroom and had asked her to come by for them. His name is Tony Janekowski. The detective realizes that he did sign in, and there was no Jane Kowski. The Devil manifests in the form of the elderly woman. Tony tries to trade his life for Sarah, but the devil says he can’t do that. He grabs the radio and confesses over the radio that he fled from a fatal accident five years ago. Bowden realizes that Tony is responsible for the death of his wife and son. The Devil, powerless now that Tony has repented of his sin, vanishes after causing the elevator to plunge several floors. The firefighters are finally able to get in, but the old lady is gone. As the corpses of Sarah, Ben, and Vince are wheeled away, Bowden decides to take Tony into custody, and, while en route, reveals to Tony that it was his family in that accident. Much to his own surprise, he forgives Tony. ===== On an ocean voyage bound for Australia with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, Dorothy Gale and Toto are swept overboard in a storm. Dorothy manages to climb in with a hen who had also fallen into the sea. Next morning, Dorothy finds the hen, whose name is Billina, had laid an egg and can talk. Dorothy finds that they are in the Land of Oz. Finding Toto's tracks in the sand, they follow them to a place in the forest where they find a warning signed in the sand: "Beware the Wheelers". Stopping again, they decide to have breakfast. Dorothy finds that the tree she is sitting under grows lunchboxes. Having finished breakfast, they are chased by two Wheelers. They reach a rocky hill, and climb up it knowing the Wheelers can't follow them. One of the Wheelers threatens to tear them into little pieces for stealing "their" lunchboxes. Dorothy and Billina agree that they could be lying. Suddenly, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion arrive, followed by Tik-Tok and the Hungry Tiger. As the Wheelers try to attack Dorothy's friends, Princess Ozma appears and orders them to halt. Dorothy approaches and introduces herself. Eventually, the Wheelers apologize for the behaviour and promise not to do it again. They explain that Toto was headed towards the land of the Nome King. Reunited with her old friends, Dorothy is introduced to Tik-Tok and Hungry Tiger and Ozma explains that they are on their way to rescue the Queen of Ev and her ten children from the evil Nome King and his Magic Belt. Suddenly the travelers come upon a metallic giant with a hammer. They manage to pass under the giant and are eventually greeted by the Nome King's Rock Fairies. Hearing Dorothy's plea, the Nome King allows them to enter. Ozma introduces herself and demands the Nome King release the Queen of Ev and the ten children. The Nome King explains that he changed them into ornaments and set them in his treasure room. He then offers them a chance to rescue the Queen and her children. They had to touch an ornament to which they believed were the Queen or her children; if they were right, the Queen and her children would be restored – but if they chose wrong, they would be transformed into ornaments themselves. As the Nome King takes the travellers into his treasure room, Billina stays behind under the throne. The travellers decide to split up and search. Meanwhile, Billina overhears the Nome King and his minions say that the Queen of Ev and her children were the royal purple ornaments. She manages to sneak away and find Dorothy, while the Hungry Tiger, Tik-Tok, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and Princess Ozma are changed into ornaments themselves. Dorothy and Billina find the royal purple ornaments and restore the Queen of Ev and her children and return to the Nome King. The Nome King is surprised that Dorothy managed to restore the Queen and her children, and even more so when he discovers that Billina told him. At once, the Nome King and his minions become frightened, and even more so when Billina lays an egg, saying that it's poisonous to them. Dorothy threatens to splatter the egg on the Nome King, who tries to get away. She then throws the egg at him, which splatters against his head. While wiping the egg off, Dorothy manages to grab the King's Magic Belt which restores her friends and even Toto back to normal. United with Toto, Dorothy asks to be sent back to her Aunt and Uncle. Billina gives Dorothy one of her eggs to remember her by as Ozma puts on the Magic Belt and sends Dorothy and Toto back to Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. She finds herself on a bed, at first wondering if it was a dream but finds Billina's egg. Upon this discovery, Dorothy hopes that someday she and Toto can find their way back to the Land of Oz again. ===== The setting of the story is a picturesque village in the high ranges of Kerala, called Balanpillai City.

Meanwhile, a police officer commits suicide because of the leakage of his IPL gambling plans, who is revealed to be Kamal Ekambaram (Subbu Panchu). ACP Prithviraj (Arjun Sarja) takes charge to end the betting scandals in IPL cricket in Mumbai. Prithvi then reveals that Kamal faked his death in a secret mission to draw attention to the betting scandals and returns under the name Praveen Kumar. Arumuga Chettiyar (Jayaprakash), an influential local illegal business dealer and Faizal's boss, owns "Golden Theatres" in Mumbai, which has been converted into a gambling den and forms the front for all his illegal businesses. Chettiyar uses his links with dons in Mumbai and tries to route through his old theatre, a cash of over to be used in betting. Vinayak is introduced to Chettiyar through his girlfriend Sanjana. Sanjana(Trisha) is in love with Vinayak, but he pretends to love her. Sumanth (Vaibhav Reddy), a goon working for Chettiyar, hatches a conspiracy to rob the money in the company of his friends: Ganesh (Ashwin Kakumanu), a local Sub-Inspector; Mahat (Mahat Raghavendra), who owns a bar in Mumbai; and Mahat's friend Prem (Premgi Amaren) an IIT graduate. Vinayak befriends the boys at Sumanth's marriage with Suchithra (Anjali). One late evening, Vinayak meets Prem, who becomes inebriated by him and reveals their heist plan. Vinayak starts spying on them and confronts them on the day of the planned heist, stepping in. The four take him in, promising him a fifth of the share. Vinayak has other plans. He wants to kill his accomplices and take the entire amount. He promises to help them and divide it between them. After looting the money, they leave the money in an abandoned godown. Later, all of them celebrate the turn of events at Mahat's bar, but Sumanth is identified at the party by Faizal and is later caught by him. Sumanth is cornered by Chettiyar, who orders Faizal to kill him for his treachery, but is rescued in time by Ganesh and Vinayak, and the trio escape from the hideout, taking Chettiyar hostage. While driving back to the godown, Vinayak finds Sanjana on the way and brutally shoves Chettiyar out of the vehicle in front of her. Sanjana engulfs in grief when she comes to know about Vinayak's true intentions. Meanwhile, upon reaching the godown, they discover that Mahat and Prem had escaped with the cash and are accompanied by Sona (Raai Laxmi). The three are then confronted by Faizal and Chettiyar's men, but manage to evade them and get on the run. Sumanth later turns against Vinayak when he comes to know that his wife had been kidnapped by Chettiyar. After a brief scuffle, Sumanth runs into Prithvi, who takes him to custody and rescues his wife on the condition that he turns approver and divulge everything. He is killed when Prithvi's wife Sabitha (Andrea Jeremiah) is kidnapped and threatened by Vinayak. Vinayak comes to know of Mahat and Prem's whereabouts through Ganesh, and along with him, starts pursuing them.

They had come to know about the betting money scheme by Chettiyar and operated the plan together (including Vinayak's faked death). Ganesh had also been killed by Vinayak as a part of the plan, and Prithvi and Vinayak escaped the explosion with the , each taking as their share. Prithvi informs Vinayak that their money is safe in the Bank of England and asks him to deal with Kamal.

The first section of the film is a dramatization of a sneak attack by Soviet Union nuclear weapons against the United States. The premise of the attack is based on Soviet nuclear submarines approaching the United States west coast and launching a barrage of missiles at ICBM silos and B-52 bomber bases, while other Soviet forces manage to destroy a number of U.S. ballistic missile submarines at sea. In the film, by the time Strategic Air Command is able to launch a retaliatory strike, over 80% of U.S. strategic forces have been destroyed and the President of the United States is forced to surrender to the Soviet Union under threat of America's urban centers being destroyed. American casualties are stated to be eight million dead – this "low" number is due to the Soviet attack hitting military bases instead of cities. The second portion of the film is a series of interviews where analysts discuss American security and the ability of the Soviet military to attack with little to no warning. ===== Mark Lamming, a biographer, leads a quiet life in London with his wife Diana, who works at a gallery. In order to gain information about the dead writer and essayist Gilbert Strong who he is going to write a book about, Mark visits Strong's granddaughter, Carrie. She runs a garden centre at Dean Close, a mansion Strong used to live in. Mark regularly stays at Dean Close for several days, and in the course of this falls in love with Carrie. After some time he comes up with the idea to visit Hermione, Carrie's mother who lives in France, so as to ask her some questions about the relationship between her and her father, Gilbert Strong. He asks Carrie to join him – partly because he needs her to speak to her mother and partly because he wants to spend time with her. Hesitantly Carrie agrees, and together they leave for France – Diana, Mark's wife, plans to join them later. The trip to France turns into a fiasco. During their journey, Mark and Carrie have sex at several hotels. When they arrive at Hermione's place, Carrie becomes extremely reclusive because of the way Hermione, her mother, is treating her. Diana, who in the meantime has arrived there too, is shocked by the state the house is in, and Mark finds that, after all, Hermione is not the right person to get information from for his book. They leave Hermione's place and plan to visit several French cities and villages. As Carrie feels extremely uncomfortable while travelling with Mark and Diana, she simply leaves them without saying a word while they are in a supermarket. She travels to Paris where she gets to know Nick, an Englishman. Back to England Carrie tells Mark that she has fallen in love with Nick. Mark and Carrie sort out their problems and Mark leaves for Porlock, a village in the south west of England where he hopes to find out more about Gilbert Strong's life. He moves in with a Major whose aunt Irene was associated with Strong years ago. To Mark's delight, the Major produces a bunch of letters that Strong wrote to Irene. These letters solve the mystery of Strong's life that Mark has been intent to find out about ever since he started working on the biography: Strong had been deeply in love with Irene, who died a short time after their first encounter. Strong had never really got over this heavy loss. These findings enable Mark to understand what made Strong tick and why he had never in his further life been able to develop any happy long-term relationship with women. Having found out about this, Mark feels that he has all the information he needs to finish his book about Strong. He leaves Porlock and heads for London where he visits Carrie for what seems to be the last time. In the last chapter of the book, Mark is at a broadcast station where a radio transmission about Gilbert Strong is being produced. ===== The book starts with the funeral of Dorothy Glover, mother of Helen, Edward, and Louise. From the very beginning of the book it is clear that Dorothy was a cold and self-absorbed parent. Rather than treat her children with love and affection, she tended to resent and bully them. Only Louise, her youngest daughter, had had the strength to escape from her dominant influence. During the priest's sermon at the grave, Helen thinks: "Eternal life is an appalling idea, especially in mother’s case." In her will, Dorothy leaves her house not to Helen and Edward, who have lived there and cared for her, but to their teenaged nephew. This is ostensibly to avoid some inheritance tax, but as in fact the savings are negligible, it appears to be rather a manifestation of Dorothy's grudging, manipulative character. Slowly but steadily, Helen and Edward get used to their mother’s absence and they start to slightly change their lives. Helen feels much freer than before her mother's death and falls in love with Giles Carnaby, their lawyer. She becomes more confident and starts to perceive life differently. Nevertheless, Dorothy, even after her death, makes her presence felt. At one point, Helen finds love-letters that a former boyfriend had written to her in one of her mother's old cloaks. Her mother had never given these letters to her and therefore had caused the separation of Helen and her boyfriend. Helen is upset, but she comes to terms with it. Edwards is a teacher at a local girls' school. His mother’s death does not change much about his life - he remains as reclusive as he had been before she died. He spends most of his leisure time in the Britches, the wood that is part of the estate where he and Helen live. There he tends plants and watches birds. In the course of the book he is revealed to be homosexual, and Helen helps Edward through what seems to be a life crisis, thus reinforcing her own sense of self and strength. Helen and Edward live modestly. They only buy what they absolutely need; their lifestyle is rather old-fashioned. This is in stark contrast to the life their sister Louise and her husband Tom lead in London, who every once in a while drop in on Helen and Edward. Louise and Tom's problems are those typical of people that live in big cities: lack of time and psycho-somatic illnesses. Helen and Edward, by contrast, lead a calm, monotonous and rather rural life. Ron Paget, a wealthy builder who owns the yard next to the Britches, has spent years prodding first Dorothy, and then Helen and Edward to sell him their land. Like the other villagers, he cannot understand why they cling to an undeveloped plot of land rather than sell it to improve their lifestyle. Ron Paget's materialistic outlook and lack of regard for conservation reflects trends in modern British life which the Glovers resist. Although Dorothy's resistance seems to have stemmed from mere obstinacy, Edward's comes from a desperate desire to save the wildlife, and Helen's from respect for Edward's feelings. Throughout the book it seems as though Helen and Giles Carnaby, the lawyer, will end up in a happy relationship. This does not happen, as Giles turns out to be something of a philanderer; but the relationship seems beneficial to Helen as she forces herself to take an active role in breaking it off, rather than letting events take their course passively as when her mother was alive, ===== Christine, a virgin bride-to-be (VanSanten) and her fiancé, James (Robinson) have a promising future ahead of them.

Only a chance encounter with a young Polynesian woman saves him from the ultimate act of self-destruction.

The company's chief editor, Kumaraguru is like Somu's philosopher. He guides Somu like his own son. Kumaraguru has a daughter, named Thulasi, who is seen acting differently and making origami. Somu and his friend Padmarajan go around Chennai, interviewing people, on a title on previous birth. Once, they meet a beggar and homeless man who says that everything is a line. Somu gets too confused, when the man says he would see an accident on his way back. When the accident really happens, Somu freaks out. The accident claimed a young man's life and a water tanker lorry was the cause of it. To avenge his anger, Somu tarnishes all tanker lorries around Chennai for their reckless driving. Aarthi, a young girl working in Chennai Meteorological Department, is Somu's childhood friend. She is a very talkative girl. Her father is Thillairajan, who is a doctor and he easily believes in all things. Aarthi deduces that Somu would get angry at 4pm the next day, and sure enough he does as his article about the tanker lorry is not published as expected. Kumaraguru says to Somu that he is hasty in everything and need patience. Somu realized that the victim of the accident is getting married soon. He together with Padmarajan, got to the victim's fiancée home, only with his father-in-law's identity. The man happened to be a Tamil teacher (Tamil vathiyar). But when Somu and Padmarajan go there, they realize that the man and his daughter had both died. Somu finds the home ransacked and that someone has taken the guy's fingerprint. When Somu confines in Kumaraguru, he tells Somu about Nadi Josiyam. Nadi Josiyam is a type of method to find our future through astrology, with the help of the person's thumb impression and some palm-leaf manuscripts. Somu goes and meets a nadi josiyar, with the accident victim's thumb print. The nadi josiyar, Ponnambalam, refuses to further read it as the man is dead. On Somu's request to trust nadi josiyam, the nadi josiyar asks him to take a living man's fingerprint and see him tomorrow. Somu then takes the finger print of the beggar. The beggar then dies after fainting on the road side. The next day, together with Aarthi, Somu goes to meet Ponnambalam to find him dead. Aarthi finds that someone took his fingerprint. She does too and they go to meet another nadi josiyar, Anbarasu. Anbarasu tells Somu that someone came with the man's fingerprint and took away the manuscript. Meanwhile, an NRI from America, Akash, comes to Chidambaram to visit his grandmother. He works in a company that provides bio metric security systems. Aarthi's meteorological department had requested the company to provide security systems to their company. Akash has a strong American accent, which makes his Tamil to sound very different. He stays with his grandmother for his holidays, when his cousin Abhirami comes to stay there as well. Abhirami's aunt, who by right should have been married to Akash's father, is suffering from Leukemia. Akash quickly gets interested in Nadi Josiyam after meeting their neighbour, Nadi Josiyar Mani. Akash's grandmother Visalakshi gives him an old manuscript done by her father-in-law, to Akash which excites him. Visalakshi soon regrets her act when the boy gets too interested in it. Meanwhile, Aarthi sends her sister Archana's barathanatiyam dance instructor to Somu's office for an interview, much to Somu's annoyance. Irritated, he asks the man to go home and that he would meet him there the next day. But when he goes there with Padmarajan, the instructor, Natesan Sharma, dies after falling down from his flat. Somu sees that his thumbprint is taken as well and also sees a church father there. AC Adiyapatham investigates all these cases, including Tamil Vathiyar's and starts suspecting Somu, as he is seen at all crime scenes. Akash brings the manuscript that, he and his grandmother thought to be his, to Mani. Mani then says that the manuscript belongs to someone called Someshwaran. When he confines in his grandmother, he realizes that he has no relatives named Someshwaran and that there is only one retarded 10-year-old boy called Somu, in that street. Visalakshi asks Akash to leave all the things about manuscripts. His grandmother then hides the manuscript but Abhirami gives it to him secretly and he leaves for Chennai. Somu and Akash's colleague, Ismail gets into a quarrel when Ismail accidentally damages bike. Somu then goes to Ismail's office, when Akash is also, to get compensation. He later finds Ismail dead in the toilet, with the church father being the last one to leave it. AC Adiyapatham then tries to arrest Somu as he is seen there. Kumaraguru brings Somu to his guesthouse, on Chennai's outskirts. Meanwhile, Thillairajan blindly starts trusting a astrologer who tells him that he would not see Aarthi again. Fearing that something would happen to Aarthi, he locks her inside their home and plans to get Somu and Aarthi married. Aarthi, in the name of helping Somu, escapes from her home, only to be kidnapped by an unknown person. In between all these, a guy called Manohar also dies. All the suspicion falls on Somu who flees. Akash goes to Somu's home in the name of being Somu's friend but encounter Padmarajan and Somu's junior Chaaya there. They both realize that Akash is not Somu's friend and Akash goes back to Chidambaram. Meanwhile, Aarthi's case is being investigated by the same AC Adiyapatham. Adiyapatham suspects Somu to be the kidnapper as well. On the other hand, Somu starts to investigate on his own after realizing that all the people who have died so far, are people whom he have met. Aarthi is injected with the blood of an AIDs patient, and her health starts deteriorating due to the HIV Virus. Somu is on the run. Meanwhile, Akash and Abhirami, without their knowledge of their grandmother, tries to find out about Somu with the help of Mani, and Akash's computer knowledge(Binary Code). Somu finds out that a guy, who have a white scar on the back of his neck, has been committing the murders, as well as Aarthi's abduction. Thillairajan, goes on his own ways to find a manuscript related to Aarthi, in the means of finding her. Somu is on the run, Aarthi is dying, Thillairajan is lost in the love for his daughter and AC Adiyapatham is trying to crack the code, while murders continues to take place. Again, all of the victims are known by Somu. Thillairajan comes to Chidambaram as Chidambaram is most famous for its ragasiyam(secret) and nadi josiyam. He meets Mani who has the relevant manuscript to deduce Aarthi's life. But it turns out to be someone else's. But with Akash's help, they find Aarthi's real manuscript and Thillairajan gets heartbroken to find that Aarthi has AIDs. After sometime, Somu comes to Chidambaram with the help of some transgender people who rescued him. He stays very near to Akash's home. One day, the young boy Somu suddenly dies in Mani's residence. AC Adiyapatham investigates it Mani shifts to Visalakshi's home as his house is under investigation. Aarthi is found outside her house by her mother, and is bed-ridden. Thillairajan is no where to be found. His assistant Doctor Mangaiyarkarasi takes care of Aarthi by visiting her home frequently. Kumaraguru, Thulasi and her husband Vishnu visit Aarthi. Thulasi accidentally blurts out that Aarthi have AIDs as she was in the same condition years ago. It is shown that Thulasi is a scientist in Germany who was finding cure for HIV. As her theory was rejected, she injected herself with HIV Virus to prove it. The virus is arrested in her body, similar to Aarthi, and that is why, she is always talking in a weird way. Soon, somehow, Somu is cleared of all charges and returns to Chennai. Before that, he reads some important files in Aarthi's computer and realizes that he had known everyone that has been killed, including the tanker lorry victim. In fact, that was not an accident and was a planned murder after all. The guy's name is actually Pazhani. Aarthi knows who is the reason behind it but is unable to communicate with Somu. Yet, she starts to recover. AC Adiyapatham finds out the main culprit and the whole gang, much to Akash and Somu's shock. It is revealed to be Kumaraguru. Not only him but also, Padmarajan, Anbarasu, Mangaiyarkarasi, Prabhu(Somu's friend and studio owner) and Arumugam(the man with the white scar). Kumaraguru reveals that he used Somu to divert the police's suspicion, and he didn't murder anyone. And that too, Arumugam is only responsible for taking the victim's fingerprints. Still, Adiyapatham is skeptical about it. The whole lot is then arrested. After sometime, Akash comes face to face with Abhirami's aunt, Kamakshi, the lady who was supposed to marry his father. He gets angry and reveals the truth about his life in America. His father and mother had a love marriage and even after Akash was born, Kamakshi sent letter to his father. When his mother found out, she left them and moved on with another man. Depressed, his father drank a lot and died as a result of that. Visalakshi hears this and heartbroken that Akash hid it from her, doesn't talk to him after that. Some others, including Mani comes and confess to the police that they are murderers, with Mani having accidentally killing Somu, his illegitimate son. A young girl Devi, also admits that she poisoned her father. It then slowly comes to light that Kumaraguru and his gang do not have any connection with the murders. Kumaraguru is released afterwards. Somu then finds out that the manuscripts of the dead consists of a medicine that cures AIDs. This was the reason that Arumugam, had been taking the fingerprints of the dead. Kumaraguru wanted to cure his daughter. The last manuscript that belongs to someone called Somu has the last ingredient but Kumaraguru finds out that the young boy Somu's one doesn't have the ingredient. It is after all, in his junior Somu's manuscript. Akash goes with Kumaraguru to help him with the 'binary code' found in Somu's manuscript. He decodes it as Thillai Tazhu, a type of plant. When Kumaraguru refuses to share it with Somu and tries to kill Akash, he flees the place with the manuscript. Afterwards, Adiyapatham dies after consuming the medicine when Kumaraguru does want to trade the secret with him. Kumaraguru returns and has a quarrel with Somu, who refuses to give his manuscript. Thillairajan loses his eye sight after the juice of the leaf drops into his eyes. Kumaraguru comes back to request help from Somu, when he realizes that they are missing the second ingredient. Abhirami's father also realizes that the manuscripts have a cure for leukemia. When no one is looking, Kamakshi, to kill the pain and herself, drinks the incomplete medicine. Her leukemia is cured much to everyone's surprise. Somu gives the manuscript to Kumaraguru, after realising that it is indeed a medicine, but is incomplete. Late that night, Thillairajan asks Somu to read his manuscript in a hope to find the ingredient. Akash is still confident that it is binary code but Somu is skeptical about it. He decodes it and Thillairajan realizes that it is the blood of a relative. He drips his blood under the moonlight which turns into something in golden colour. Here Aarthi's medicine is ready. But Kumaraguru hesitates to give blood as he has a fear of blood. When Vishnu forces him, Kumaraguru pushes him angering Thulasi. She kills her own father and her medicine is ready after his blood drops on the incomplete one. In an epilogue, it is shown that Thulasi is cured and returns to Germany with Vishnu and is awarded for the cure for HIV. Aarthi, after consuming the medicine is cured as well and marries Somu and they have two children. Thillairajan's eyes sight is lost forever. Somu realizes that Kumaraguru had always seen him as a son and he had left Neithal Magazine in Somu's name. Akash marries Abhirami and stays in Chidambaram. He comes across Kumaraguru's pendrive and with details in it, starts predicting the future of earth, such as robots taking over humans in the year 2050. Years later, Visalakshi dies after completing a number of rounds in the temple, as predicted by her father-in-law, not even talking to Akash once. Abhirami comes across Chaaya's letter for Somu, that she had given Akash on her visit to Chidambaram. It is not said what is in the letter and when Aarthi makes a fuss about it, Somu thinks about what sin he made in his previous birth(his first interview question at the beginning of the show). It is known that in their previous birth, Somu was a rich landlord and had cheated Aarthi who happened to be his girlfriend. Aarthi vowed to stay with Somu 7 births and the current life is their second birth. This was told by Mani to Akash while Mani was reading Somu's manuscript. As the Aarthi scolds Somu and with Somu thinking about it, the show ends. ===== Chidambaram (S. Ve. Shekher), a good-hearted simpleton from a rich family in Karaikudi is in love with his cousin Uma (Ilavarasi). Uma is a well-educated girl and in love with Arun (Arun Pandian), her college-mate. When Chidambaram's parents Kaathamuthu Chettiyar and Valayapatti Valliammai (Kishmu and Manorama) speak to Uma's parents (Ponnazhagi (Ganthimathi) and her husband) about getting their children married, Ponnazhagi insults Chidambaram for his stupidity. So, Chidambaram sets to find a job and earn money so that he can ask Uma's hand in marriage with respect. Ambalavaanan (Sangili Murugan), a diamond smuggler offers him a job. But Chidambaram, who unknowingly transports the diamonds gets caught by the police, and escapes from them. What ensues is a series of unexpected twists and turns for Chidambaram and he is wrongly accused of burglary at LIC Natarajan's house, and murder of dancer Aasha (Disco Shanthi), all incidents happening in Karaikudi and nearby localities. The impossibility of him having committed all three crimes gives him the benefit of doubt by the police, who seek the assistance of CID Beemarao (Visu). Beemarao is attacked by goons on his arrival to Karaikudi, and he is saved by Arun. Arun invites Beemarao to stay with him at this father Masilamani's (Delhi Ganesh) palatial house. Beemarao talks to Chidambaram and is convinced that he is innocent, and he has his first doubt of someone else's hand in the crimes. Beemarao is helped by Arun and Uma on the investigation of Chidambaram's case. There are a couple of attempts to kill Beemarao, by loosening the screw of the fan in his room, and by putting a snake in his torchlight. Beemarao survives both the incidents, and suspects Arun of planning these two attacks, but is still unsure of who was responsible for it. Beemarao also manages to get various clues from Ambalavaanan's house, LIC Natarajan's house and Aasha's house, but somehow the information is leaked from within his circle and the investigation is thwarted. Later it is revealed that Masilamani is an underworld gangster dealing with smuggling, robbery and women, and he was the one who had been leaking the information to his gang. Through clever deduction and effort, Beemarao finally deduces that Masilamani was responsible for all the crimes, and apologizes to Arun for suspecting Arun earlier. In the end, after a fierce gunfight between the police and the criminals, Masilamani is caught and is arrested by Arun himself. After this, the Police offer Arun a job, and he marries Uma. Chidambaram gets acquitted in the case, but is heart broken to see Uma marry someone else. He consoles himself and helps Uma and Arun with their wedding chores. ===== Veerapandi (Rajkiran) is a rich and powerful man in Pandiapuram in the Sivagangai district. Selvam (Dhanush) is his son. Rajalingam (Prakash Raj) is the local MLA backed by Veerapandi. However, Rajalingam is in reality a corrupt politician, despite appearing good. One day, Veerapandi sends Selvam to Trichy to stay with his uncle Mariyappan (J. Livingston) ostensibly to tame rowdy behavior, but in truth to protect him. Selvam meets his childhood love interest Radhika (Tamannaah) who goes to college there. He proposes to her, but she tells him that she needs time to think about it. Selvam says he won't bother her for 6 months and will leave her alone if she refuses him after that time. Meanwhile, Veerapandi gets to know about Rajalingam's real nature and prevents him from smuggling sand. Rajalingam gets enraged and decides to kill Selvam in revenge. Rajalingam sends a few thugs to Trichy to kill Selvam, who beats up the goons. but Veerapandi and his men arrive anyway and threaten the rowdies. Afterwards, Veerapandi and Selvam force Rajalingam to donate land he bought with black money to the people. This causes Rajalingam to again get angry, and send rowdies from Madurai and Dindigul to kill Selvam again. When he is cornered, Selvam is forced to take up sickle and is filmed attacking the rowdies by many. This results in him getting arrested and jailed for 15 days, after which he returns to Pandiapuram. Radhika, after seeing his violence, decides not to disclose her love. Soon, Rajalingam becomes a minister and openly challenges Veerapandi since he doesn't need his support anymore. Radhika gets to know that it was Selvam who helped her uncle by recovering the money invested in disputed land. When Selvam and his sister go to an engagement ceremony Radhika is attending, Selvam implies he is waiting for her to propose. Radhika tells Selvam about her love, but also requests Selvam to leave his family. However, Selvam ditches Radhika, saying that his family is more important to him than anything else in the world. Later, Radhika realizes her mistake and apologizes to Selvam, and they reunite. Radhika then introduces herself to Selvam's parents. Meanwhile, Rajalingam plans to kill Veerapandi, knowing about his train journey based on information from Radhika. However, Selvam comes to the rescue and attacks his goons. Meanwhile the truck sent to hit Veerapandi's car kills an innocent family, whose deaths Veerapandi says will not go unpunished. Veerapandi realizes that he drank poisoned coffee and is rushed to the hospital, where his life is saved. Selvam is shocked to know that Radhika poisoned Veerapandi's coffee and informed Rajalingam about Veerapandi's travel plans. Selvam rushes to Radhika's home, where her mother Padmavathi (Sudha Chandran) and grandfather state that Veerapandi killed Radhika's father (Nizhalgal Ravi) years ago, and they were waiting for an opportunity to exact revenge. Veerapandi comes to Radhika's home and tells how it was the ruling party rowdies who killed Radhika's dad and it was not him who killed her father. Radhika's family feels guilty about their acts. Selvam feels bad that Radhika cheated him, so he leaves her. The next day, Radhika's family apologizes to Veerapandi and informs that they are leaving. Veerapandi and his wife Thangam (Urvashi) forgive Radhika's mistake and urge Selvam to accept Radhika, which he does. Rajalingam hires 50 men from Rameshwaram to kill both Veerapandi and Selvam. Selvam makes plan with other villagers to burn hayfields to make it look like job is already done, and goes to kill Rajalingam and goons himself. He gets men to distract Rajalingam's goons and kills them one by one. The burnt haystacks cause the Rameshawarm goons to think the job is done and they leave. Selvam then lures Rajalingam to a place where, after a fight, he stabs Rajalingam in the throat. He then flies to Kuala Lumpur and lives there for 6 months. Afterwards he returns to great happiness from all and reunites with Radhika. ===== ===== The film follows Vincent Dooly (Andrew Bowser), an aspiring inventor who dreams of winning the Thomas Alva Edison Award for Young Inventors (or "Eddy"). Each year, he enters and each year he humiliates himself with an invention that malfunctions in one way or another. A documentary crew follows Vincent in the last year that he is eligible to compete for the award, at the same time following Martin Wooderson (Jimmi Simpson), a smug wunderkind with a long history of winning the award with dull but marketable inventions. Through the months leading up to the Eddy's, Vincent mentions (in a clandestine manner) an invention he is working on that he is sure will change his losing streak but refuses to reveal more. We meet Vincent's best friend Gunter (F. Jason Whitaker), his endlessly supportive mother (Dee Wallace), his tweaked- out father (Mark Boone Junior), his love-interest, Jenny, a waitress who works at a local diner he frequently visits (Ruby Wendell) as well as his hero, a surly junkyard worker (Kevin Corrigan). As the story moves along we see Vincent's attempt at perfecting his many inventions and see him emotionally prepare for his last chance to win the coveted award while attempting to win the heart of Jenny. The film culminates at the award ceremony where Vincent and Martin unveil their final inventions, preparing for the prize. ===== In 2007, four years after the "Wave" killed most of North America's population, former Seattle City Council member James Kipper is now the President of the United States. The U.S. federal government and the U.S. capital have been relocated to Seattle, and it is later revealed that roughly 15 to 20 million Americans survived the Wave and are now back in the United States. Jed Culver is now Kipper's Chief of Staff and is also a close friend. After a meeting with foreign dignitaries in Seattle, Kipper and Culver head to New York City, where salvage crews are working to clear the streets of debris, the Wave having made its victims disappear, so crew-less vehicles and aircraft crashed as a result. Due to the lack of people to maintain New York City as well as cities all over the contiguous United States, fires burned unchecked and New York City is now flooded in some areas. The U.S. military has also had to step in alongside the New York Militia to fight droves of pirates, looters, terrorists and organized gangs who have moved into the U.S. East Coast from South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Julianne Balwyn and Rhino Ross are part of one of those salvage crews. While clearing streets of crashed autos, Rhino and Jules meet Kipper as he tours the salvage efforts. Kipper is suspicious of Jules, who does not seem enthused to see Kipper, whereas Rhino is excited and eager to talk. Kipper leaves them to tour more of the city and hears gunfire in the distance. Texas is now a federal mandate; since everyone there was killed, the farmland is given to immigrants for them to work in order to become naturalized U.S. citizens. Miguel Pieraro and his family own one such farm. Jackson Blackstone, the disgraced army general who was forced into retirement by Kipper after the Wave, is now the elected governor of Texas and has a xenophobic dislike of the new immigrants. As a result, he has "road agents" that go around harassing farmers. Pieraro and his daughter Sofia are out herding cattle when road agents go to his home and rape and murder his female relatives and torture and execute the males. Pieraro and Sofia kill some stragglers and then bury their family; Miguel decides to leave Texas for Kansas City, which is the largest intact city in the U.S. Midwest and is therefore the industrial and governmental heart of the United States, aside from Seattle. Caitlin Monroe and Bret Melton are now married and living in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, where they run a farm together. Monroe is still in Echelon, but is not a field agent anymore; she only reports as an adviser. She and her husband have an infant daughter named Monique, whom is named after the French activist Caitlin befriended in the aftermath of the Wave, and who died at the hands of rogue French DGSE agents working for al-Banna, the terrorist Caitlin was tracking. In New York City, Kipper is meeting with the press at Castle Clinton when the area is hit with Katyusha rockets from Muslim fighters on Ellis Island. The U.S. Secret Service herd Kipper into protection while U.S. Army Rangers head to Ellis Island to clear it out; among them is Staff Sergeant Fryderyk Milosz, the former Polish GROM operator that met Bret Melton in Kuwait in the aftermath of the Wave. Milosz has come to the U.S. and joined the army there to become a citizen since his homeland fell apart in the aftermath. He is with Master Sergeant Wilson and two other Rangers in a Blackhawk helicopter flying to Ellis Island; they cannot get close because the enemy fire; one of their neighboring Blackhawks is shot down after an Apache launches a barrage at the teams that hit Castle Clinton. Yusuf Mohammed, a Ugandan teenager who was snatched up for service in the Emir's forces from the Lord's Resistance Army, is with a number of Ugandan, Ethiopian and Somali fighters when they launch the rockets at Castle Clinton; they are all killed by the Apache attack, leaving Yusuf as the only survivor. He runs into a building and meets another group of jihadist fighters, and they shoot down the Blackhawk next to Milosz's bird. Yusuf's men are killed but he jumps into the water and drifts away. Milosz, Wilson and their team fast rope into Ellis Island and clear it out, where they capture some of the fighters. Milosz sees U.S. Navy SEALs, Sandline mercenaries, and teams from the National Intelligence Agency, which replaced the CIA after the Wave, taking away the prisoners. Jules and Rhino reveal that they are in New York City only to pursue paperwork at an apartment in Lower Manhattan that belongs to the "Client", someone in Seattle who is after oil deposits off the Californian coast; the paperwork would indicate his pre-Wave ownership over the oil fields and therefore give him government backing to drill again. Rhino and Jules are waiting for the right time to leave so they can get the papers and get paid. Yusuf drifts up the Hudson River to Pier 86, where he sees a decrepit listing to the side after years of disrepair sitting at the pier in storms and floods; all of the aircraft have fallen off the flight deck and onto the barge next to the carrier, destroying the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Yusuf is in territory controlled by the Russian and Serbian Mafia, so he comes ashore and sneaks through the territory to reach the Emir's compound and give them information on what he has seen. Kipper refuses evacuation because some of his military and Secret Service staff are wounded; in Texas, Pieraro and Sofia vow vengeance against the road agents; and in England, Bret Melton and Monique are ambushed by assassins, which Caitlin kills, save for one named Richardson. Caitlin travels to London with Dalby, an agent with Echelon, who tells her they are going to interrogate Richardson and find out why they were trying to kill Caitlin and her family. In New York, Jules and Rhino escape their hotel after it is attacked by a mass of irregular fighters; Kipper learns that they cannot evacuate to JFK Airport because the U.S. Air Force Security Forces there are in the middle of a pitched battle with irregulars, and Sandline, Special Forces and troopers of the 1st Cavalry Division are busy trying to clear the airport. Lieutenant Colonel Kinninmore, an officer with the S-2 section of the 1st Cavalry Division, briefs Kipper on what his soldiers have found; while most fighters kill themselves with suicide bombs to prevent capture, they have secured some low-level pirates who tell his men that the Emir, a mysterious Arabian man, came to New York City six months previously from Morocco and promised all the Muslim fighters New York City as their new home if they helped fight the U.S.; the Emir bought off rival gangs and promised them territory outside of New York, but the Russian and Serbian Mafia groups turn them down. Kinninmore also reveals that the Katyusha rockets and Type 56 rifles they have lifted from the dead are brand-new and originated in Pakistan and Yemen, which are now hotbeds for terrorist activity. Kipper is evacuated aboard Marine One, a VH-71 Kestrel helicopter which the Royal Air Force gave to the United States as part of a Lend-Lease agreement that the British and the U.S. have in place. As they are flown out, Kipper is told by Culver about Blackstone's antics in Texas and how the Pieraro family are the latest victims of the road agent problem; Kipper demands that they do something about it. Caitlin and Dalby travel to Salisbury Plain, where Richardson is interrogated by Echelon agents; it is revealed that al-Banna hired him and his crew to kill Caitlin and her family. Caitlin is ordered to London to prepare to fly to Germany, where al-Banna's mother lives. The British military at Salisbury Plain is now equipped with Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, C-17 transports, M-16 rifles, and other surplus U.S. military gear that was given to them; it is revealed that the British have a base in Norfolk, Virginia and that their Royal Navy is interdicting pirate ships in the Atlantic Ocean since the U.S. Navy is much smaller and less capable than it used to be. Miguel Pieraro and Sofia meet two Mormon cattle herders, Willem D'Age and Cooper Aronson, who have left their main group, including their wives and children, behind in order to get their herd north to Kansas City. Pieraro reveals to them what happened with his family; later it is discovered that Aronson's group was kidnapped by road agents as sex slaves. As revenge for his own loss and to help his new friends, Pieraro vows vengeance against the road agents. Kipper flies to Kansas City and receives a brief via teleconference from General Tommy Franks, his new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Kipper learns that the situation in New York is deteriorating and that Franks is requesting more troops to quell the pirates in New York; Kipper asks Culver if the U.S. has any neutron bombs to take them out while sparing the infrastructure. Admiral James Ritchie, now in charge of America's deterrent forces, is overseeing the transfer of Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines to Australia when he receives the call; he tells Kipper that the neutron bombs were destroyed in the 1990s, and that chemical and biological weapons are out of the question because they were in the process of being demilled when the Wave hit. Culver tries to persuade Kipper to give strategic bombers the order to strike New York City, but Kipper is reluctant to destroy American infrastructure, and hesitates. At this time it is revealed that in 2003, Russia launched nuclear strikes against three unnamed former Soviet republics, and that India and Pakistan fought a war in 2005 which resulted in the nuclear destruction of both nations; the death toll from that war rose to 200 million, while people continue to die from the "Second Holocaust", the Israeli nuclear strike on the Middle East; casualties from that war now exceed 600 million. In New York City, Lieutenant Colonel Kinninmore assigns Master Sergeant Wilson and Staff Sergeant Milosz two U.S. Air Force Combat Controllers, Technical Sergeant Bonnie Gardener and Staff Sergeant Veal, so that they can go into enemy territory and call air strikes on enemy positions, including the rockets that are claiming more and more of the army's helicopters. While the Ranger fire team slugs it out with the enemy in Lower Manhattan, Jules and Rhino fight across Union Square. In Texas, Pieraro learns that Aronson and D'Age have night vision goggles, and they locate a bar where the road agents are keeping the Mormon women. They plot to attack at night. While Caitlin prepares to travel to London to prepare for Berlin, Kipper thinks about how to deal with New York; Yusuf makes it to the Emir's compound and tells them what he has seen, prompting the Emir to think Yusuf as a brave warrior. The Emir permits Yusuf to stay with his harem as a reward. Milosz, Wilson, Gardener and Veal engage pirates in a ferocious firefight, during which Veal is killed by a grenade blast. They run into Jules and Rhino, who save them from being overrun after killing many of the pirates and forcing them to retreat. Master Sergeant Wilson initially wants them to turn in their weapons because they are fleeing their place of work, but Milosz is open to helping them when Jules offers them a piece of the share once they get paid by the Client. Even though Wilson is upset, Milosz calls in a Blackhawk, which flies the Rangers and Jules and Rhino to a staging area outside of Central Park. In Texas, Pieraro and the Mormons assault the bar and kill most of the road agents, rescuing the Mormon women and executing the survivors as punishment for their crimes against the Mormons and anyone else. Pieraro learns that his daughter used a Remington 700 sniper rifle to cover the attack and therefore save his life even though he told her to leave for safety; he is proud of her and they bond over the moment. Yusuf is given command of his own team by the Emir for his services, and is tasked with infiltrating past Union Square to push the Americans back. In Kansas City, Kipper comes to a decision and orders Culver to mobilize the bombers for a fire bombing run on New York City, which would break the will of the fighters and kill a large number of them. In Berlin, Caitlin locates Fabia Shah, al- Banna's mother. Germany has become a Muslim enclave since the Wave, and certain areas of Germany, including Berlin, allow Sharia Law; the German government does not interfere with Muslim affairs, and is open to their way of life even after the UK forcibly deported its entire Muslim population and France did the same after its intifada. Caitlin meets Sayad al-Mirsaad, Bret's al-Jazeera friend, and al-Mirsaad helps her get to Fabia's apartment. She interrogates her and discovers that al-Banna is in New York City, and that he is 'the Emir'. She is ambushed by Fabia's bodyguards, but kills many of them before Dalby rescues her. Kipper visits the North Kansas City Hospital, which has become the main military medical center for wounded personnel. He personally pins the Purple Heart and other medals on the pillows of wounded personnel and takes the responsibility of writing letters to the deceased personnel, because he feels guilty over making decisions that sent soldiers and Marines to their deaths. In Palestine, Texas Pieraro and the Mormons find burned out settlements where road agents had been, and where they had killed men, women and children. Pieraro takes photos of the scene for evidence to give to the FBI, which is now headquartered in Kansas City, while the Mormons administer last rites to the dead and bury them in cairns. Kipper receives another brief from Franks, who requests more troops; Kipper authorizes the redeployment of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade to New York City, along with elements of the 101st Airborne Division; the 1st Cavalry Division, 3rd Infantry Division, 82nd Airborne Division, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, and elements of Sandline and SOCOM are already on the ground slugging it out with the irregulars. The 3rd MEB has to leave MCRD San Diego, which has become the headquarters and main garrison for the U.S. Marine Corps after the Wave. In Texas, Pieraro and the Mormons settle in an abandoned house and talk about what they were doing when the Wave hit; Roberto Morales, Pieraro's old ranch hand and a nemesis during the Wave, is now a dictator in charge of the new South American Federation, which was formed from all the countries of Central and South America after the Wave. While Blackstone hassles immigrants with his road agents, Morales is a constant threat to Blackstone, which keeps him from alienating the federal government too much. Yusuf and his team attack the Americans but are pushed back; the survivors perform a tactical retreat when Yusuf decides that they cannot win in a standup fight. Caitlin is meanwhile on her way to New York City from Berlin aboard an MC-130H, with orders to rendition al-Banna from New York; she is briefed by Kipper, but tells him that she might kill al-Banna as he targeted her family and had captured, tortured and raped her in France in 2003. Kipper tries to convince her otherwise, but she turns him down. In New York City, Jules and Rhino are ambushed by Mexican drug cartel shooters who work for Henry Cesky, the construction magnate who is close with the Kipper Administration; Jules had kicked Cesky off the Aussie Rules in Acapulco, Mexico after the Wave. As revenge, Cesky posed as the "Client" and duped them into grabbing the papers, which are located in the same building as the Emir's headquarters. Shortly before they are overrun, Caitlin liberates the Emir's harem (which is full of American women) and then kills Cesky's men and saves Jules and Rhino. The three of them infiltrate the Emir's building, where Jules finds papers implicating al-Banna and Cesky working together. Milosz, Wilson and Gardener are caught in an ambush by irregulars led by Yusuf; in order to break the ambush, Milosz uses steel buckets and Claymores to form a shaped charge, which explodes and kills everyone, including Yusuf. Lieutenant Cleaver from the 82nd Airborne Division arrives and asks Milosz to verify the identity of Jules and Rhino, because they have papers that S-2 needs to forward to the NIA; against Wilson's will, Milosz verifies them and the 82nd Airborne Division sends a Blackhawk to pick up the two salvagers, because B-52 bombers from the 2nd Bomb Wing are on their way to fire bomb the Emir's compound at Rockefeller Center. Soon after, the two Rangers and the Air Force CCT are sent to use laser designators to mark Rockefeller Center. Kipper is running with U.S. Army Rangers in Kansas City when he is called by Lieutenant Colonel Kinninmore; Kinninmore gives him information that the irregulars are using bridges in and around Manhattan to get fighters into the city. Kipper gives the order to destroy all the bridges; Governor Elliot Schimmel, the governor of New York, is on the army fort at Governors Island when the artillery opens up; MLRS and 155mm batteries destroy every bridge in New York City, much to Schimmel's dismay. Trapped on the island, the irregulars pool around the Emir's compound at Rockefeller Center, which is now designated by Wilson, Milosz and Gardener. Kinninmore links up with that team as 1/7 Cav fights through the streets; before the bombers arrive on station, the troops pull back to give the kill zone a wide berth. In Texas, the Pieraro group are herding their cattle through a valley when a rain and thunder storm catches them in the open; despite all their efforts, some of the Mormons and most of their cattle are washed away in a flash flood. The B-52s arrive on station; Milosz and Gardener target the Rockefeller Center as Lieutenant Colonel Kinninmore and the ground forces pull back. The incendiary bombs destroy Rockefeller Center and kill hundreds of fighters instantly; the surviving elements surrender en masse to the U.S. military, including the Russian and Serbian mafiosos. The Emir is believed dead, but Caitlin and Rhino and Jules are pulled out by helicopter; Caitlin is upset as she had to let the Emir go. On their way out, they see A-10 Warthogs and AH-64 Apaches assaulting Central Park. Pieraro and Sofia find that while they survived, many of their friends are dead; as they are recovering from the flash flood, they learn that they have crossed into Oklahoma, and are now safe from the road agents in Texas. They head on to Kansas City, and to a new life of peace, while the U.S. military reclaims New York City and the pirate hold on the East Coast slips. The enemy flee the U.S. in droves. ===== :Through the perspective of Stuart, a high school senior, Aaron Levy’s young adult play addresses teen struggles of self-worth, suicide, and communication between yourself and your loved ones.

The only thing stolen is a necklace that Kristi's sister, Katie, gave to her. Martine, the Latin American family housekeeper and nanny, goes into Hunter's room after hearing a loud bang and senses something inside the room. She takes him downstairs and attempts to cleanse the house of "evil spirits" but Daniel arrives home and catches her burning sage. As a result, Martine is fired. Kristi believes that their home is haunted and tells Daniel; Daniel reviews the footage but dismisses her claim. Katie and Kristi talk about being tormented by a demon when they were children. Daniel's daughter, Ali (Molly Ephraim), begins investigating the mysterious happenings; she discovers that humans can make deals with demons for wealth or power by forfeiting the soul of their first-born son, but if the deal is not fulfilled, the demon will stick to the family until another son is born—Hunter was the first male to be born on Kristi's side since the 1930s. The violence escalates; The family's German shepherd, Abby, who had been guarding Hunter at night, becomes aware of the demon's presence and is attacked and apparently suffers from a seizure. Daniel and Ali take Abby to the veterinarian, leaving Kristi alone with Hunter. When Kristi checks on the baby, the demon assaults her and drags her down to the basement, where she stays for an hour. Finally, the basement door opens and a possessed Kristi walks out. The following day, Ali is home with Kristi, who will not get out of bed. She finds the basement door covered in scratches and sees a word, meus (Latin for "Mine"), etched into it. Ali goes upstairs to check on Hunter and sees Kristi there, with a strange bite mark on her leg. Ali then tries to get Hunter but Kristi furiously orders her to not touch Hunter. Ali, now terrified, begs Daniel to come home; after he arrives, she shows him the footage of Kristi's attack. He immediately calls Martine, who prepares a cross to exorcise the demon; Kristi will have no memory of having been possessed. Daniel goes to pass the demon onto Katie so that Kristi and Hunter will be saved, despite Ali’s pleas not to. That night, when Daniel tries to use the cross on Kristi, she attacks him and the houselights all go out, plunging everyone into darkness. Using the handheld camera's night vision, he finds Kristi and Hunter have disappeared. Furniture begins toppling over, and the chandeliers shake. Dan chases Kristi into the basement, where she attacks him. He touches her with the cross, causing her to collapse. Daniel hears demonic growls and finally, the shaking stops. Daniel puts Kristi to bed and burns a photo of a young Katie (the same photo Micah later finds in the attic of his and Katie's house). Three weeks later, Katie visits and explains that strange things have begun happening at her house. On October 9, a night after Micah is killed, a possessed and bloodstained Katie breaks into the house, kills both Kristi and Daniel then takes Hunter with her. The screen then fades to black. An epilogue text states that Ali was on a school trip and returned home, found the bodies of Daniel and Kristi three days later, and that Katie and Hunter's whereabouts remain unknown. ===== When bank teller Ryan (David Lago) meets beautiful but icy business executive Angelica (LisaMarie Lamendola) he becomes instantly infatuated with her.

As Vimes arrives in the countryside, despite the silence and tranquillity, he senses crime. At a dinner with all the local 'nobs' organised by Sybil, Vimes discovers the distaste the local people have towards goblins, calling them vermin and a nuisance. At the dinner, he also meets Miss Felicity Beedle, a children's book author, and he feels that she has something she wants to tell him about a possible crime. The next day he participates in a hand-to-hand fight with the hot-headed local blacksmith, Jethro. After Vimes wins the fight, he arranges to meet with Jethro at Dead Man's Copse on Hangman Hill at midnight, as Jethro has something to tell Vimes about the mistreatment of goblins. Lord Rust then approaches Vimes and tells him that he won't find any crimes in the country, also warning him that he has no jurisdiction outside of Ankh-Morpork. That night, Vimes and Willikins go up to Hangman Hill to find Jethro, but instead, they find the severed finger of a goblin girl and lots of blood. The next morning, the young local constable, Feeney Upshot, arrives at Ramkin Hall to arrest Vimes for the murder of the blacksmith, who has gone missing. Vimes is considered the most likely suspect because he was in a fight with the blacksmith the night before, and he was overheard making plans to meet Jethro on Hangman Hill. However, Vimes refuses arrest, instead taking on the task of mentoring Upshot and teaching him to be a better copper, and together they start an investigation on the case. Vimes and Upshot, led by a goblin named Stinky, find the goblins' abode in a cave. They enter into pitch-black darkness, and Vimes realises he can see perfectly in the darkness, a skill rewarded to him by the Summoning Dark (a demon that briefly possessed him in the novel Thud!. It is implied that the 'dark' and Vimes now have a mutual respect). In the cave he meets with the goblin chief who leads him to a goblin's corpse, the same goblin that was killed on Hangman Hill. Vimes ventures further in the cave in search of the blacksmith, but he instead finds Miss Beedle, who spends her spare time here in the cave teaching goblin girls how to read and communicate with humans. Upshot and Vimes then pay a visit to Mr Flutter; he is known as the 'local trouble' and seems to connected with most crimes in the area. They capture Flutter, but he is unwilling to say much. Vimes then notices a cellar in his house and enters it; surrounded by darkness he is able to communicate to the Summoning Dark. From the Summoning Dark, who represents all darkness, he is able to get a witness account of what happened on Hangman Hill the other night and relays this to Flutter, who then tells Vimes that he protested against the killing of the goblin-girl, and whose murderer was a Mr Stratford, a man working for Rust. In a series of scenes taking place back at the Ankh-Morpork City Watch as well as in the country-side, Vimes discovers that goblins are being used in slave labour on tobacco plantations in Howondaland. He also finds out that three years ago, large numbers of goblins were taken from their caves to work at the plantation. In this incident, many goblins were killed, abused and starved to death. Wee Mad Arthur of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch flies to Howondaland to investigate and finds the plantation, where all the goblin workers are dying or already dead. He notices many huts lining the plantation and in them he finds more corpses and dying goblins. Vimes and Upshot hear that more goblins have been taken and are now currently on their way to the plantation by river on the paddleboat The 'Wonderful Fanny'. Vimes and Upshot secretly board the boat just as a thunder storm arrives, making the night pitch-black and the river laden with debris and thus deadly. Vimes, with the help of Stinky, frees the goblins who are trapped in the cargo holds. He also rescues the captains wife and little girl from being shot with a crossbow. He then heads towards the captain and his captor. A battle ensues between Vimes and Stratford the boat once again lifts on the tide giving Stratford time to escape. After Vimes comes round from a knock to the head he surmises that Stratford is not dead and will be back to finish what he started. The captain of the boat loses track of the riverbends during the commotion and panics. Vimes ability to see in the dark allows him to guide the boat to safety, and for this he is awarded the title 'King of the River'. Vimes is knocked unconscious in the storm and wakes to find himself and the boat in Quirm, everyone has survived the night. Vimes quickly discovers that the goblins, along with Stratford, have already boarded the next boat to Howondaland. Vimes boards the boat and arrests the Captain and frees all the goblins once and for all, but Stratford is not on board. Vimes returns to his family in Ramkin Hall and together they travel to Quirm on the pleasure boat Roberta E. Biscuit. Stratford attempts to attack Vimes's son and is defeated by Vimes and handed over to the Quirm police, to be returned to Ankh-Morpork for trial. On the way the prison coach crashes, Stratford escapes and kills a guard. He is then met on the road by Willikins—who had followed the coach—and killed. Meanwhile, Lady Sybil arranges a concert in the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, inviting the Patrician, Lady Margalotta Von Uberwald, the Diamond King of Trolls and the Low-King of Dwarves.

The dignitaries are so moved by the display they agree to enact laws which will grant goblins the same rights as other sapient creatures and protection under the law. ===== The sabotage of a substation of the prominent electrical energy distributor Algonquin Consolidated Power and Light Company in Queens, New York, causing a deadly arc flash leads to an investigation managed by esteemed criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and his team of investigators.

Her father dies, leaving her the business, but a greedy ship captain schemes to take the business from her. ===== The film tells the story of a couple, Elise Landry (Erika Christensen) and her husband, Craig Landry (Jesse Metcalfe), whose lives are shattered when a serial killer named John Kozlowski (Bill Moseley), kidnaps, tortures, and kills their only son, Benjamin. Craig feels immense guilt, as he saw Benjamin being kidnapped, but could not catch up to the fleeing vehicle. Elise blames Craig for not watching the child more closely. During the trial, Kozlowski makes a plea bargain, and in exchange for providing details on other murders, is sentenced to only 25 years to life. Elise and Craig are livid with the court's verdict. Elise asks Craig to get her a gun so that she can kill Kozlowski, but Craig refuses. Elise moves out of the house and Craig, left alone, contemplates suicide. Later, he meets Elise to say that just killing Kozlowski will not be enough, and the two formulate a plan to kidnap the killer. Craig steals medical supplies and drugs from the hospital where he works. They follow Kozlowski when he is being transferred to prison via police van. The officers soon stop to get some coffee. Craig distracts them, while Elise spikes their drinks. After some time, the police van pulls over, and Craig is successful in hijacking the van with the prisoner inside. In the confusion and panic of the escape, Craig crashes the van and it rolls over a bridge. Elise, following behind in her car, is relieved to see Craig is all right, and the prisoner, though thrown from the van and severely injured, is also still alive. Elise soon receives a call from the case detective (Fulvio Cecere) informing her that Kozlowski had taken the police van and escaped. She is able to sound normal to avoid arousing any suspicion. They take their captive to the basement of an abandoned cabin and chain him up, just as he did to their son. They gag him, stating that nothing he could say will make them change their minds. They berate him as less than human for his abominable actions. They begin to torture him in various painful ways. During one session, Craig hangs the key to the chains above the captive, taunting him. As the torture progresses over several days, both Elise and Craig are haunted by their deeds, but carry on, remembering the horrific loss of their son. Meanwhile, the police manhunt for the escaped Kozlowski begins narrowing down to the area near the cabin. Back in the basement, Craig removes the gag in an attempt to suffocate the captive, who begs for a chance to talk. He explains he has no recollection of anything before the van accident. He claims he does not think he could be a vicious killer. The Landrys are taken aback, and retreat upstairs to discuss. Craig feels the torture is unnecessary on someone who cannot even remember his crimes. Elise is certain he is merely lying to avoid any more suffering. They return to the basement and begin crushing his foot in a vise until he tells the truth. Elise demands that he speak their child's name. Under duress, he eventually says 'Benjamin', which convinces Craig that they can continue with their plan. They leave him alone for the evening, promising that the next day's torture will be the worst yet. Through extreme agony, he manages to reach the key and free himself. He makes his way upstairs and there is a struggle. Craig is knocked down the stairs and the captive escapes out the back door. The police finally track down and apprehend the captive in the woods nearby. Flashbacks show that unknown to the Landrys, the prison van was actually carrying two convicts; Kozlowski, and another man, Patrick Galligan, serving time for tax evasion. Following the crash, Craig mistook the bloodied man thrown from the vehicle as Kozlowski and took him as a hostage to torture instead. The real Kozlowski later emerged from the van relatively unhurt and went on the run. Coming by the cabin, Kozlowski witnessed Elise's and Craig's torture of the amnesiac Galligan. At the cabin, Elise and Craig enter the barn, finding Galligan (who they believe is Kozlowski) just as he hangs himself in the barn, with a note in hand. Based on what the couple did to him, having amnesia, he believes he must be a monster, and that he deserved everything they had done and would continue to do to him. In the letter, he apologizes and begs forgiveness, stating his cowardice and being unable to stand any more torture as his reasoning for hanging himself. Satisfied, the Landrys get in their car and leave, unknowingly passing the police - who are returning Kozlowski to prison. The film ends before the Landrys discover the man they tortured was not Kozlowski.https://www.netflix.com/title/70244440 ===== Bob Whipple (Esteban Powell) is a sportswriter stuck in a dead-end job.

She is occasionally a research subject at a science laboratory. Lucy is paying tuition and rent by doing several jobs. She is caring for a sick relative, Birdmann, who is very attracted to her. While she does not return his sexual interest, Lucy enjoys Birdmann's company, and in his presence is the only time she is shown smiling or laughing. An old joke between the two is that Birdmann frequently asked Lucy to marry him; Lucy always says no. Due to lack of money and Birdmann's bad health, Lucy makes a decision to look for another part-time job. In response to a classified ad for yet another short-term job, Lucy meets Clara, who runs a service that combines lingerie modelling and catering performed by young women at a black tie dinner party for mostly male clients. Clara assures her that the men are not allowed to touch the women sexually, and Lucy agrees to try it. Clara inspects Lucy's body and names her "Sara" for the purpose of anonymity. At the dinner party, Lucy is the only girl dressed in white; the other women wear black lingerie that is much more revealing than Lucy's outfit. After one other session as a serving girl, Lucy gets promoted. She receives a call from Clara's assistant for a different request. Lucy is driven to a country mansion, where Clara offers Lucy a new role wherein she will be voluntarily sedated and sleep naked while male clients lie beside her. They are permitted to caress and cuddle her, but vaginal penetration is not allowed. After Lucy falls asleep, she lies unconscious on the bed and Clara leads in her client. After Clara reminds the man of the no-penetration rule, he strips and curls up beside Lucy. After a few of these sessions, Lucy has enough money to move into a larger, more expensive apartment, where she lives alone. She receives a call from Birdmann, who has overdosed on painkillers. She goes to his house and finds him dying in his bed. Sobbing, she takes off her shirt and gets in bed with him, but he dies in her arms. At Birdmann's funeral, Lucy abruptly asks an old friend if he will marry her, in an echo of Birdmann's old playful banter. The friend, however, not understanding the reference, takes her seriously and, shocked, refuses her, citing a number of Lucy's personal problems as his reasons. At her next assignment with Clara, Lucy asks if she can see what happens during the sessions while she is asleep. Clara refuses, saying it will put her clients at risk of blackmail. Lucy decides to surreptitiously film her next encounter. The client is once again the first man, but this time, he also drinks the tea with a much larger dose of the sleeping drug. The following morning, Clara comes in and checks the man's pulse, showing no surprise when he cannot be awakened. Clara tries to wake Lucy, who has overdosed as well, and is eventually able to revive her using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Lucy begins screaming when she sees the dead man in bed next to her. The film ends with the scene captured by the hidden camera: the dead old man and the sleeping girl both lying peacefully together in bed. ===== ===== The teenage rebel Johnny Mad Dog leads the small group of younger boys commanded by the older General Never Die, who feeds them cocaine.

She is reluctant, until she discovers that James has broken off his engagement with Ellen, and upon her return to the company she is not only met with a job offer, but also a marriage proposal from him. ===== The film opens with an implied soft-core sex scene involving two teenagers who are camping in the wilderness of Okaloosa.

Later at home, while reading Eric's journal, she has a dream of Eric with bloody eyes who tells her "Leave me alone". Carmen, wanting to mend her relationship with Marcus as well as her job, urges him to come with her and Sara to Alvania. Upon reaching Alvania, they find the village people to be secretive, unfriendly and unwelcoming, just as described in the last entry in Eric's journal. Although English is taught in the villages' school, some of the villagers don't know how (or are willing) to speak it. They see a man named Henryk butchering a pig, then find a girl named Lidia picking flowers and approach her. They show her a picture of Eric and ask if she has seen him. The girl reacts at the sight of Eric in the picture but is hesitant to answer. Before she even can, Henryk calls to her and sends her off. Carmen, Sara and Marcus explore the village. They notice that the villagers treat their religious leaders like royalty. They then spot a strange dense area of fog which seems to be concentrated only in one portion of the forest, also mentioned in Eric's notes. When they attempt to investigate the fog they are threatened by Henryk and the villagers and told to leave. Leaving the village initially, Carmen tells Marcus that they should go back and investigate the fog. Marcus initially disagrees and insists that they leave. Carmen manages to convince Marcus to return by admitting that her editor knows nothing about the trip and that her career will be over if she returns with no story. They leave their car and walk into the forest, where they eventually find the area with the fog. Carmen, Sara and Marcus find it strange that the fog seems to never move and is quite dense, therefore preventing Marcus from taking pictures of anything inside it. Sara enters the fog and disappears into it. Carmen and Marcus wait for Sara to return but after a while, they lose their patience. Marcus insists that they leave but they can't leave Sara behind. Carmen enters the fog to find her. Moments after Carmen enters the fog, Sara somehow gets out and is found by Marcus. Sara appears scared and unfocused. Carmen seems to have gotten lost in the fog and comes across a statue of a demon holding a heart. Carmen takes a picture of it, and moves to the side of the statue to take another picture. Looking up from the camera she sees that the statue has turned its head to face Carmen. The statue's eyes bleed and the 'heart' in its hand starts to beat. This frightens Carmen. As she backs away from the statue, she finds herself out of the fog and is found by Marcus and Sara. Sara and Carmen talk about seeing the statue, both a bit disoriented, also having heard strange whispering voices. As they make their way back to their car, they come across Lidia, who claims to know the whereabouts of Eric and takes them to a hidden sacrificial shrine, where they discover the bodies of people (including Eric) that the village people have executed. Each body has a metal mask deeply embedded in its face, making it look as though the villagers are cultists and are practicing some kind of ritual black magic on the tourists who come to Alvania. Marcus, Sara and Carmen notice that Lidia is gone and find the door of the shrine barred. Luckily, Marcus is able to open it, but they are suddenly surrounded by the villagers and flee, hiding in a nearby barn. They are found and struggle to escape, but one of the villagers knocks Carmen out. Henryk shoots Sara's leg with a crossbow. The villagers knock her out with chloroform but not before she sees the face of one of the villagers turn into a demon. Marcus runs into the forest and is chased by Henryk, who catches up with him. Marcus fights Henryk but the latter gains the upper hand and knocks him out with chloroform. As they wake up, they see Henryk talking to Lidia. Lidia walks off and the villagers bring them back to the entrance of the sacrificial shrine where the head of the village's church, Arkadiusz, decides to sacrifice both Sara and Carmen. The two are taken inside the shrine while Marcus is led away by two villagers and is forced at gunpoint to dig a grave. After one of them leaves, Marcus uses the shovel to disarm the remaining villager with the gun and knock him unconscious. He takes the gun and runs off to rescue Sara and Carmen. At the shrine, cultists strip Carmen and Sara and dress them in ceremonial gowns. The cultists place Sara on the same ceremonial table where Eric was killed while Carmen is placed in a prison cell. The cultists secure Sara's arms, legs, and head. They then deeply lacerate her arms and sever her Achilles' tendons. While this is being done to her, she sees the faces of the cultists and Arkadiusz turn into demons. The same mask earlier found on the corpses is placed over Sara's head. It has two spikes inside of it which are meant to pierce Sara's eyes. Arkadiusz takes a sledgehammer and uses it to embed the mask into Sara's face, killing her. One of the cultists looks at Carmen and she sees that the cultist's face has become that of a demon. They bring her out to be sacrificed but Marcus rescues her. He locks the cultists in the shrine and he and Carmen make their escape. They enter a villager's house to steal the keys to a truck. Marcus sees a woman, Emilia, and her son, Dariusz, in the kitchen. The woman calls for her husband, Aleks, but is unable to do anything since Marcus still has the gun. Marcus asks them for the keys to the truck but they can't understand English. When they see Carmen, Emilia expresses fear and panic. Marcus takes the family to their living room and ties up the couple. While Marcus tries to get them to give him the keys, Carmen starts to experience voices. She sees the objects in the room shake. She sees Dariusz turn into a demon. She sees Emilia and Aleks turn demonic, untie themselves and crawl on the floor. Marcus turns to Carmen and he too has become a demon. But in truth all of them are still human, Emilia and Aleks are still tied up and none of them are even looking at her. Carmen hides in another room where she continues to see and hear things. Dariusz, who understands and speaks English, leads Marcus back to the kitchen and gives him the truck keys. Not wanting to risk Dariusz going out and calling for help, Marcus also ties him up. The boy begs for Marcus to let them go and warns him that Carmen is evil since she has seen the statue. Carmen is then possessed by a demon while she is alone in the room and lets out a very loud shriek. The cultists, who have gotten free and are looking for her, hear the shriek and are alerted to Carmen's location. Marcus hears Carmen calling out to him. As he enters the room she went inside, through a door from the kitchen, another door leading back to the living room closes. Marcus hears Aleks and Emilia scream in fear and pain, followed by footsteps going to the kitchen. He then hears Dariusz screaming. As he looks out from the door, he sees the boy being dragged away. The door then closes and Dariusz's screaming stops. The door leading to the living room slowly opens. He goes to the living room and finds the entire family brutally killed. The possessed Carmen then jumps on him and pins him on the floor. Just as she is about to kill him, she is confronted by the cultists. She kills several of them, but Arkadiusz fights back with prayers and holy water. He calls for the mask but the cultist holding the mask is stunned with fear, giving the possessed Carmen the opportunity to impale Arkadiusz. She turns her attention back to Marcus. Before Arkadiusz dies, he passes on his duties to Henryk. Henryk chants prayers while splashing Carmen with holy water, and stabs her. The prayers weaken her, allowing Henryk to slowly set her on the floor. Two more cultists help. They impale Carmen's hands and pin her to the floor. Henryk calls for the mask and this time, the cultist holding the mask complies. They position the mask over Carmen's face while Henryk readies the sledgehammer. However Carmen still struggles and the mask can't be properly placed over her eyes. Marcus now realizes what is going on and understands why it was necessary to kill Sara and Carmen. They had seen the statue, which is why the villagers had to kill them, but he himself hasn't. The cultists weren't sacrificing anyone; they were trying to prevent demonic possession from taking place. Knowing this, Marcus assists Henryk and the others by holding Carmen's head still. With the mask now in place, Henryk readies the sledgehammer to embed the mask. Carmen returns to normal and asks Marcus for help but he knows it is just a trick. Henryk sends the sledgehammer down and embeds the mask on Carmen, killing her. Marcus then looks at Henryk and the remaining men, wondering what will happen to him since he knows too much. One of the villagers asks Henryk what they will do with Marcus. In the end, Marcus is set free by the villagers. Henryk offers to have one of the village's men take him to where he needs to go. Marcus looks over to the forest where the fog is seen. Not knowing what is really inside the fog, he asks Henryk about it. He is told that the fog and the statue are a curse left long ago on the village that cannot be undone. The devilish statue is shown once more and the screen goes black. ===== 6 year old Shruti (Zoya Siddiqi Hassan) believes her mother, Priya (Sarita Choudhury), has been replaced by an alien from the Orion galaxy.

This pattern of behavior is introduced to the audience via a prolonged initial sequence leading to a night of group sex with a young man and his two friends. She lives in a flophouse where she does the cleaning in exchange for room and board. This arrangement with the landlady is discontinued when new boarder Nate (Noah Taylor) moves in, and Erica finds herself in urgent need of a regular income to pay for her stay. Feeling responsible, Nate helps her land a job in the DIY store where he works. Distrustful and reluctant at first, she gradually warms up to the mysterious Nate, who uses an anecdote from his childhood as a metaphor to justify his protective demeanor towards Erica despite his psychopathic tendencies. He also claims to have been honorably discharged from service in Iraq and is apparently considering a job offer by the CIA. Despite his air of danger and Erica's difficulty in leaving her promiscuity behind, the two form a hesitant bond. The film segues to Erica's first onscreen conquest, Franki Morrison (Marc Senter), a young, hot-headed wannabe rock star who cares for his ailing mother.SXSW 2010: Simon Rumley's Red, White And Blue Gets Bloody In First Teaser! Franki and his bandmates (shown in the film's group sex scene) secure budget for a European tour, his mother's cancer appears to be in remission, and he reconnects with his former girlfriend. All of this newfound happiness is cut short, however, when he is diagnosed HIV-positive after a routine check. This affects his mother as well, since he had been donating blood to her for months. Distraught by the news and all of its implications, Franki decides to track down the only woman he had unprotected sex with during the past six months. His two bandmates test negative but help him out of loyalty. The three of them, along with Ed (Jon Michael Davis), a fourth friend who did not partake in the orgy, find Erica in a local bar and forcefully take her back to Franki's place. Her reaction to Franki's revelation leaves it clear that she knew what she was doing all along, but is perhaps faced with the consequences for the first time. She tries to justify her actions out of despondency after she was raped as a child by her mother's boyfriend, and reveals she slept with at least 130 men. Franki's friends reluctantly leave him alone with Erica. Franki tries to rationalize their situation but uncovers a predatory facet in his personality. He rapes Erica and keeps her bound and gagged for the next days. During this period, his mother is implied to test positive for HIV as well and decides to take an overdose of pills. Franki finds her body, reads her note to him and in a fit of rage stabs Erica several times. He and his friends try to drive her to the hospital, but she succumbs to her injuries before the car can take off. One more time out of loyalty, they decide to take separate parts of the body for imminent disposal. Before they can dispose of the body, however, Nate uses his CIA contact to track them down. He tortures and murders all of them, including Ed and his family, revealing himself to be a skilled and sadistic army interrogator in the process. His last victim is Franki, whom he skins alive after retrieving Erica's head. He finally decides to turn down his CIA contact's offer for a job and moves to his sister's place in Tallahassee, Florida. Halfway through his drive to Florida, he buries Erica's remains and burns everything that reminds him of her, including a picture that reveals they had married sometime before her kidnapping. ===== The melancholy Candy runs the Half Mortal, a trendy bar in Hong Kong. She hires Paul; Stella, a part-time employee who's a college student in psychology, trains him. He has a gift for mixing the perfect drink to fit each customer's emotional needs.

In the spring of 1862, in the Cumberland Mountains 'down near the Tennessee line', war sympathies were strongly divided, neighbors against neighbors. After the unexplained death of Sarah Anders' (Clarkson) daughter at the hand of Yankees, the body is dug up from the grave and unceremoniously left exposed by Yankees, to add insult to Sarah's loss, as her husband is away fighting for the Confederacy. Sarah also has a young teen-aged son, the boy. Sarah takes her daughter's body (in coffin) back to her homestead to rebury. Captain John Hull Abston (Cooper), a Union army officer and a widower Ohio farmer before the war, commands a party of four soldiers scavenging for supplies. All are untested in battle. They arrive at Sarah's small cabin and take what little they can find. In the process, the youngest soldier is seriously accidentally wounded, and the party has to stay there until the soldier is well enough to travel. Sarah and the boy suffer the company of the raiding party for several days, but are not seriously harassed by them. In fact, the Captain takes pity on Sarah, and as they wait around, he even assists her in plowing a small patch of land to plant a corn crop, as 'he likes to work with mules'. The boy sneaks away one night to advise nearby neighbor Preacher (Kristofferson), a minister and Confederate sympathizer, of their situation. The next day, one of the soldiers, disgusted by the situation, rides off to desert, and the captain starts to shoot him. Just then, sniper fire rings out, killing the deserter, and all take refuge in the cabin. Sarah and the boy think it's her husband doing the shooting. The captain eventually kills the sniper, and all discover it is not Sarah's husband. Later, Preacher comes to retrieve the sniper's body, as it is his Israel, his colored servant. The captain buries the dead soldier next to Sarah's daughter's grave, which enrages Sarah and she becomes insanely distressed. The raiding party leaves, taking Sarah's wagon, mule and cow, but the captain leaves Sarah a rifle 'for the boy to shoot squirrels'. She attempts to shoot the captain as he rides away, but the rifle is empty. When they are out of sight, Sarah digs up the soldier, as the boy, after fetching a revolver he had earlier stolen from the party, runs after the raiders. The boy catches up to the party and shoots the wounded soldier, lying in the wagon, dead, and then flees; the captain pursues him, firing after him. The captain returns to the cabin with the body in the wagon, and the mule, looking for the boy. The captain chastises the boy for killing the young soldier, and Sarah and the captain argue. The captain, frustrated, threatens to kill them, and Sarah, frustrated, says "Go ahead. Kill us." The upset captain fires two rounds into the air, asks that the dead soldier be provided a decent Christian burial, then returns to the other two of his party. They ask "What'd you do to 'em?", and he replies, "You heard the shots." They continue on their way. Because 'the Civil War was not about 'being decent,' Sarah and the boy throw the first soldier killed into the creek, to wash downstream. They dump the body of the other soldier into a sinkhole near a fallen sycamore, and throw some dirt on it. Sarah's husband never did return. ===== Three good- for-nothings overhear a movie producer and his partners offering a grand sum if someone will present him with a sure-fire movie idea.

Julius, a magician posing as a simple Egyptologist, takes the siblings to the British Museum, where he tries to bring Osiris (the Egyptian god of the Underworld) into the mortal world. His magic has the unintended side effect of summoning the gods Horus, Isis, Nephthys, and Set, as well as alerting the magicians Zia Rashid and Michel Desjardins to his actions, which are illegal in the magic community. Set, a god of chaos, captures Julius and declares his intention to become king of the world. Unbeknownst to Carter and Sadie, each of the released gods chooses a mortal host from the humans in the room. Carter and Sadie are taken to Brooklyn by their uncle Amos, who tells them they are descended from a long line of magicians, beginning with the Egyptian pharaohs Ramesses the Great and Narmer. He also explains the grave danger Set poses to the world and goes to find him. While he is away, the mansion is attacked by Set's minions. With help from Sadie's cat Muffin, who is host to the goddess Bast, and Zia Rashid, they escape to Cairo. Once there, Carter and Sadie discover they are hosts to the gods Horus and Isis, respectively. They train in magic until the magicians' leader Iskandar dies and Michel Desjardins orders their deaths for collaborating illegally with the gods. The siblings escape and form a plan to defeat Set — hoping to rescue their father and clear their names within the magic community. They travel to Set's lair in Arizona, gathering ingredients for a magic spell and evading hostile monsters and magicians. Bast sacrifices herself while defending Carter and Sadie from Sobek, then they encounter Amos and then Zia. The foursome heads to Set's hideout, where they learn the final piece of the spell they need from a dying Zia, the unknowing host of Nephthys. Carter, Sadie, Horus, and Isis use the spell to subdue Set, although they stop short of completely destroying him because they realize his actions were dictated by a far worse enemy — Apophis, a much more powerful god of chaos. Desjardins reluctantly allows Carter and Sadie to go free after they part with Horus and Isis. After a tearful goodbye with Zia, who turns out to have been a magical copy of the real magician, Carter and Sadie return to Brooklyn. They visit their father, now in the underworld, reunited with their ghostly mother. As a gift, the other gods as well as Osiris (hosted by the deceased Julius) help Bast return to the mortal world. Carter and Sadie describe their plans to recruit other magicians to (illegally) study the path of the gods, and Carter also resolves to seek out the real Zia Rashid. ===== Cassandra, a member of the Seekers of Truth which supervise the Templar Order, investigates whereabouts of Hawke, the "Champion of Kirkwall". She captures and interrogates Varric, demanding to know how Hawke started a war between the mages and templars. After he initially spun a fanciful version of Hawke's escape from the Blight which is quickly rejected by Cassandra, Varric cooperates and tells her how the Mage-Templar War really started. The story starts shortly after the Battle of Ostagar, with the Hawke family escaping their home village of Lothering in Ferelden with a darkspawn horde in pursuit. They are joined by Aveline, though her husband Wesley and either Bethany or Carver (Hawke's siblings) are killed in the process. Flemeth, a witch who can assume the form of a dragon, intervenes and helps the party escape to Kirkwall, a city across the sea, on the condition Hawke travels to a Dalish clan based in Sundermount, a mountain located near Kirkwall, and complete a task for her. Hawke enters the service of a mercenary band or smuggler group to enter Kirkwall, after which the family takes up residence in the city's Lowtown with their maternal uncle Gamlen. A year later, a prosperous opportunity presents itself to Hawke; Varric and his brother Bartrand are planning a risky but rewarding treasure hunting expedition into the perilous region of the Deep Roads. Varric partners with Hawke to acquire funding and knowledge of the region. Hawke enlists the aid of Anders, a former Grey Warden who possesses knowledge of the Deep Roads. The expedition proves both a financial success and a tragedy; the proceeds make Hawke famous and wealthy, enabling them to buy back their family mansion in Hightown. However, a very powerful magical idol made of red lyrium corrupts Bartrand's mind and causes him to betray Hawke and Varric. Additionally, Hawke's surviving sibling is either killed by the darkspawn taint, or conscripted into the Grey Wardens if they are brought along. If not, then they are conscripted either into the Circle of Mages or the Templar Order, depending on the sibling who survives. Three years later, the Viscount of Kirkwall summons Hawke to help resolve a political situation the foreign military forces of the Qunari have caused. The Qunari, who were shipwrecked in Kirkwall three years earlier, neither obey the laws of Kirkwall nor seem willing to leave in the foreseeable future, escalating tension between them and the inhabitants of Kirkwall. As well, Hawke's mother, Leandra, is murdered by a blood mage serial killer preying on Kirkwall's women. Hawke resolves to uncover "O", the identity of the serial killer's accomplice. Eventually, he discovers the reason the Qunari refuse to leave Kirkwall is because Isabela stole a coveted artifact from them. When she flees Kirkwall with the artifact, the Qunari leader, the Arishok, decides to attack Kirkwall and ultimately executes the Viscount. Hawke's party successfully retakes Kirkwall and, if Hawke chooses, eliminates the Arishok. For their actions, Hawke is declared the Champion of Kirkwall. Over the next three years, Kirkwall has been turned into a police state under the tyrannical rule of the Templar Order. Under the command of Knight-Commander Meredith, they aim to oppress mages for their alleged use of blood magic or any other forbidden techniques. Meredith is challenged by First Enchanter Orsino, the Circle of Magi leader in Kirkwall, who tries to topple her with public support. Constant violence between the two sides forces Hawke to intervene, during which a group of anti-Meredith rebels kidnap his surviving sibling/closest friend. Fearing for their loved ones' safety Hawke attempts to get away from the conflict. However, Anders orchestrates a massive explosion that levels the Chantry and kills Grand Cleric Elthina. This triggers a final decisive battle between the mages and templars across the city, as Meredith is determined proceed with a mass extermination of mages in Kirkwall as a result of Elthina's death, forcing Hawke to choose a side. They end up killing both Orsino, who is surmised to have been "O", and Meredith, who bought the lyrium idol from Bartrand and is driven mad by her paranoid delusions. Afterwards, Hawke either leaves Kirkwall as a hero to mages, or is elected Viscount of Kirkwall. Varric concludes the story, saying that Hawke's companions eventually drifted apart, and Hawke eventually left Kirkwall. The Circles of Magi all over Thedas have followed Kirkwall's example and rebelled, with the Templar Order breaking away from the Chantry to fight them. Satisfied with his story, Cassandra lets Varric go and leaves with Leliana and the reformed Inquisition, believing that since both Hawke and the Hero of Ferelden (if alive) have disappeared, they must be found to stop the war. ===== With $20,000 in stolen gold, Clint McDonald, his girl Lilly and wounded brother Jeb head for the hills, just ahead of a posse.

He tests its effectiveness out on eight yellow jackets, finding that it successfully kills six, but the two who survived now have extremely high pheromone levels, resulting in increased aggression. That night, the janitor (John Baktins) accidentally releases them, and they both attack, killing him. They find his body the next morning, along with one of the wasps, with the other one nowhere to be found. His body is taken to the morgue, where the mortician (Claudio Masciulli) hears a buzzing from the janitor's mouth, and opens it, freeing the second wasp that had somehow trapped itself. It then proceeds to sting him until he is dead before flying away. Meanwhile, Cristina Brown (Carol Alt), an insectologist, teaches a class about bees. One young man (Mazin Elsadig) relates to her a story about how he was once stung by a wasp, and suddenly six or seven others attacked him. She explains that when an insect attacks, it releases an attack pheromone, signalling all the others of their kind that there is an immediate threat in the area. The class is cut short when she is called in about the dead mortician. Agent Doug Heydon, (Booth Savage) tells her about the dead janitor and Kent's research, prompting her to investigate the possibility of a link between the two deaths. Meanwhile, Kent's exterminator friend, Q (Richard Chevolleau) is called by a family with a yellow jacket infestation. He finds himself low on pesticide and goes to Kent to restock. Kent warns him not to use any of the experimental pesticide, but a curious Q mixes it with the regular solution. As he sprays the nest, the analysis of the hyper-aggressive wasp's venom completes. Kent learns in shock that pesticide caused a genetic mutation in the wasp's chemical structure, resulting in incredibly potent venom along with the hyper-aggression. In the meantime, the Chief of Police (Bill Lake) blackmails Mayor Gibson (Christopher Bondy) with evidence that he has been making covert meetings with Phineas Washburn (Tim Thomerson), the owner of Washburn's Tasty Sauce. He makes it known that Washburn made a large financial contribution to Gibson's reelection campaign, giving him large sway in many political matters. The Chief very openly suggests' to Gibson that he will reveal this information to the public if he doesn't get a payoff. He leaves with Gibson furious. At his workshop, Q puts the sprayed nest in his trash compactor, but about one quarter of the nest survives, including the queen. They chase Q to his truck, where he manages to administer antivenom before passing out. The wasps then leave and begin sending off attack pheromones, which not only attract multiple other swarms, but also mutate them to have extremely potent venom similar to the sprayed swarm. Meanwhile, Cristina and Kent go to the home of a man who was stung to death by the swarm after they were attracted to the raw meat patties on his grill. They find a dead wasp on his clothes and take it back to the lab for analysis. Meanwhile, Q is awoken by Rafe (Jonathan Malen), the teenager he's watching for the summer, where they agree to hunt down the remaining portion of the swarm themselves. Back at the lab, the venom results show that the lethality is identical to the strength of the wasp that killed the janitor. After informing Agent Heydon, they all agree that the annual burger cook-off will attract the swarm directly to the populace. Heydon goes to warn the Chief, as they attempt to tell Washburn that they have to cancel the cook-off. However, neither party believes them, rather threatening them with legal action if they dare interfere with the cook-off. Just after Heydon leaves the Chief, the swarm is attracted to his rare steak, and kill him when he tries to fight back. Eventually, Q and Rafe use a pheromone detector to track down the part of the swarm that stayed behind to finish off the steak. Q uses a flamethrower to kill the swarm, but melts part of his van in the process. Meanwhile, the single wasp that first killed the janitor finds its way to Mayor Gibson's office, and kills him by stinging his eye. His assistant, Ellie Martin, (Ellen Dubin) finds his body, and chases the wasp with a double-barreled shotgun, eventually killing it. The cook-off finally starts, and Heydon comes to try to convince Washburn that they have to shut it down. But before he can, the swarm arrives and begins to attack the crowd, including killing a sadistic reporter, Melanie Sheer (Maria Brooks), while her cameraman, Chuey (Balázs Koós), video tapes. Washburn attempts to hide in a dunk tank, but is killed when two wasps crawl down the hose he is breathing through and sting his mouth. Eventually, Kent and Cristina arrive and begin administering antivenom to the stung, using tire patching spray to close up the wasps' breathing holes. Q also arrives and begins attracting the wasps to a golf cart, in hopes of trapping them inside a garage. While he does so, Kent, Cristina, and Rafe begin gathering petrol tanks and gasoline, so as to destroy the swarm once they get it trapped. Q manages to get the wasps inside, and they ignite the gas with Rafe's lighter. However, the queen manages to escape the inferno, and makes a run for Q, but is sucked up by Rafe with the portable vacuum cleaner he was given to clean up any wasp carcases; he throws it into the fire. The scenes fades to Kent and Cristina, now dating, going to dinner. The camera then zooms up to the charred vacuum, revealing that the queen managed to survive the blaze and is in the process of laying eggs. ===== The story takes place in 1944 Brooklyn.

Robotic versions of an Elasmosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus rex attack the crew, but a solar flare short circuits the dinosaur robots, causing a mass extinction of every robot creature except for "small mammalian robots" that were hiding in caves, including Bender. The next day, the crew wakes up to find both Leela and Amy kidnapped by caveman-like robots, but the following day, they find that Leela and Amy are free, because the robot cavemen have since evolved into a completely civilized, modern robot society. The Professor states that he is proud of the nanobots' growth after he dumped their ancestors in a pond a few days ago. The robots, who believe unquestioningly in robot evolution, are angered by Farnsworth, when he shows a picture of a robot (Bender) riding a robotic Stegosaurus at the start of their creation. Bender represents him in court and in his arguments, states that the Professor is not arguing against evolution, but only claims a small role in beginning it by providing the materials necessary (the nanobots). He also tries to declare the Professor insane. The following day, the robots have now evolved into a state of incorporeal transcendent higher consciousness. They are no longer concerned with the Professor any more, finding corporeal beings altogether irrelevant, and sends the crew home. The Professor and Dr. Banjo reconcile their differences. Dr. Banjo argues that what the Professor witnessed was evolution, but evolution set in motion by an intelligent creator. The Professor agrees that it is possible, however unlikely that Earth evolution was set in motion the same way. ===== In 1985, in the obscure town of Santa Filomena, the Orapronobis, a cult under the leadership of Kumander Kontra (Roco), murders a foreign priest who gave the last rites to an alleged rebel, who was also executed by the same group.

Marley must now break the news to her friends and parents (who are divorced and haven't spoken in years). Her mother is persistent and overbearing, and instantly begins to smother Marley by visiting too often and making her meals to keep her strength up.

Introduction to Anthony Trollope, Lady Anna. Oxford University Press. p. xii. The title character is the daughter of the late Earl Lovel. Her mother married him out of ambition rather than love, and despite his evil reputation. Soon after their marriage, he told her that he had a living wife, which made their union invalid and their unborn daughter illegitimate. He then sailed to Italy without her and did not return to England for twenty years. During those two decades, Lady Lovel struggled to prove the validity of her marriage, and consequently her right to her title and her daughter's legitimacy. She enjoyed neither the sympathy of the public nor the support of her family during this time; her only friend and supporter was Thomas Thwaite, a Radical tailor of Keswick, who gave her and her daughter shelter and financed her legal battles. Early in the novel, Lord Lovel returns to England and dies intestate. His earldom, and a small estate in Cumberland, pass to a distant cousin, young Frederick Lovel. However, the bulk of his large fortune is personal property, and thus not attached to the title. If his marriage to Lady Lovel was valid, it will go to her and to their daughter; otherwise, it will go to the young earl. The new earl's lawyers, headed by the Solicitor General, come to believe that their case against Lady Lovel is weak and their claim probably false. They accordingly propose a compromise: that the earl marry Lady Anna, thus reuniting the title and the assets held by her father. The plan is enthusiastically supported by Lady Lovel, as fulfilling all of her ambitions for herself and her daughter. The young earl is favorably impressed by Lady Anna's appearance and character. However, in her twenty years as an outcast, Lady Anna has come to love Thomas Thwaite's son Daniel, and the two have become secretly engaged. When the engagement is known, Lady Lovel and others strive to break it. Lady Anna will not yield to persuasion or to mistreatment; Daniel Thwaite rejects arguments and bribes to end the relationship. Lady Anna is approaching her twenty-first birthday, after which she will be free to marry without her mother's consent. In desperation, Lady Lovel secures a pistol and attempts to murder Thwaite. She wounds but does not kill him; Thwaite refuses to name her to the police; and the attempt puts an effective end to her attempts to keep the two apart. With Thwaite's consent, Lady Anna makes half of her fortune over to the young earl. She marries Thwaite with the public approval of the Lovel family, though Lady Lovel refuses to attend the ceremony. The two then emigrate to Australia, where they expect that his low birth and her title will no longer be a burden to them. ===== The poor Dionne family lives in rural Ontario, Canada.

At the bus-stand people are talking something about some "Maruti Kamble" in a hushed tone. The news of his arrival reaches the sugar baron Mr. Hindurao Dhonde-Patil through his henchman who expresses his doubt that the drunkard may be a sleuth sent by the central government. Hindurao is worried. Hindurao invites the drunkard to his mansion and provides him space to live in order to keep an eye on him. He asks the drunkard some direct questions like who he is and where he comes from. But the drunkard dodges his questions by giving some philosophical or imbecile answers. He does not even reveal his name. Hindurao decides to call him "Master" (teacher). Hindurao tells Master how backward this village was and how Hindurao worked hard for the progress of the village. Now there is a sugar factory, poultry, school etc. for the village. Master observes that the progress is not of the village but only of Hindurao. Master is perpetually drunk and again overhears people asking "what became of “Maruti Kamble". He asks people about Maruti Kamble but they suddenly become silent. When Hindurao comes to know that Master is enquiring about Maruti Kamble, he becomes worried. Finally he calls him and makes a pact with him. The pact is that Hindurao would tell Master everything about Maruti Kamble and Master will stop his enquiries and leave the village. Hindurao says that Maruti Kamble was a military man and posed a challenge to Mr Hindurao's economic and political progress, so Hindurao falsely implicated him in a crime. He alleged that Maruti Kamble had extra marital affair with a widow. The villagers could not tolerate such immoral behaviour. Maruti Kamble thought that people would believe the charges to be true and try to kill him, so he tried to run away. Before police could get him, Hindurao got Maruti Kamble murdered and people thought that Maruti Kamble had run away to escape villagers' wrath, though some people had their "doubts". As Hindurao had told the truth about Maruti Kamble, it is Master's turn to leave the village. But Master is a man of conscience. Master had fought in the independence struggle of India and is pained to see that though people had become free of the British rule, they are again being exploited by persons like Hindurao. Now should he fight against the tyranny of Hindurao too? Master leaves the village. Outside the village, at the district headquarters, people notice that Master has made a demand to the government that an enquiry be made into the misdeeds of Maruti Kamble and that Maruti Kamble be found and brought to justice. Master has also decided to fast until his demand is met and he is ready to fast until death. Hindurao anticipates the results and contacts district administrator and politicians, but they show no inclination to help him out. Hindurao tries to give a speech in order to divert the attention of people from the topic of Maruti Kamble but people ask "What became of Maruti Kamble ?" and shout him down. Hindurao runs away to Mumbai and in his absence chaos spreads in the management of his factory and poultry. Other politicians are eager to fill in this vacuum. Master reaches Hindurao's hideout and persuades him to face the reality and surrender in order to give himself a chance. Finally Hindurao surrenders to the police. As police handcuff Hindurao in front of villagers and lead him to the police vehicle, Hindurao turns to Master and gives only a smile without malice. There ends the confrontation (Saamana) between a penniless drunkard and a potentate. ===== The book tells the story of four British Army soldiers, including two members of the Special Air Service, who are assassinated by a hit squad known as "The Clinic".

Unfortunately, Elliot has distanced himself from Boog since he had started a family with Giselle. They are now the parents of three children: Gisela, Giselita, and Elvis (with Boog now being the adoptive uncle). Boog is disappointed that everyone else wants to spend time with their families, which makes him go on the guys trip by himself with Dinkleman; however, this soon leads him to a Russian traveling circus called the Maslova Family Circus. While in the circus, Boog meets Doug, a lazy, self-centered, mean, scruffy grizzly bear who is tired of performing in the circus on the sidelines. He craves recognition as a full-fledged king of the forest, the ruler of the wildlife. Hatching a plan, Doug lies to his best friend Alistair that he won't forget his help and convinces Boog to switch his life in the forest for Doug's place at the circus. Boog accepts the offer, but the whole thing turns out to be a scam because all Doug really wanted to do was escape from the circus. Meanwhile, Boog falls madly in love with Ursa, a female grizzly bear who was born in Russia and can effortlessly walk on a tightrope, juggle, and dance (which Boog finds to be "bearvana"), but has no luck convincing her that he isn't Doug.

Meanwhile, Doug arrives at the forest and disguise himself as Boog by pushing his scruffy fur back with mud. However, Gisela and Giselita get suspicious when they notice Doug (disguised as Boog) treating the wilds like slaves, so they report to Serge and Deni and request that they find Giselle for help. Afterwards, when Boog's friends learn about Boog's disappearance after Doug's cover is accidentally exposed, they (as well as Mr. Weenie, a reformed Fifi, Roberto, and the other pets) put aside their differences and plan a rescue mission to save Boog. Gisela comes up with a plan to save Boog, and the gang go to the circus to rescue him. That night, the wilds arrive at the Maslova Family Circus. They want Boog to return home, but he does not want to leave Ursa. Suddenly, a reformed Doug arrives, apologizes to Boog for tricking him, and reunites with Alistair. While Doug performs circus acts for the audience, Elliot tells Boog that he can stay at the circus if he wants to. Boog, now torn between his forest friends and Ursa, invites Ursa to come and live in the forest with them, which she accepts.

However, on arrival, they find the camp empty, except for Burt, the head counselor, and the local Forest Ranger, Ranger Knudsen. They discover that one of the camp's old legends, the Woodsman, a cruel, abusive counselor who went insane after a prank set up by his campers went awry and left him with severe brain trauma, has come to life and scared the kids away. Ranger Knudsen suggests Burt close the camp before leaving. Burt is about to listen to the Ranger's advice when three kids, Luke, Trudy, and Deacon, arrive at the camp. Fred convinces Burt to keep the camp open until the Mystery Inc. gang discovers what is going on. But the gang and the kids are soon attacked by the Woodsman. The next day, everyone decides to spend the day at Big Moose Lake, home of the rich and modern Camp Big Moose. While enjoying their time at the lake, they are attacked by the Fishman, another camp legend about a lonely kid who spent so much time swimming in the lake, which caused him to evolve into a half-man half-fish monster, that has also come to life. During the chase, Scooby-Doo discovers a building at the bottom of Big Moose Lake. That night, Jessica, Camp Big Moose's head counselor, asks the gang if Camp Little Moose is pulling a prank on Camp Big Moose, explaining that an RV and some sonar equipment are missing from the camp. The gang wonders what purpose the equipment would serve for the Woodsman or the Fishman. Velma uses the RV's tracking device to locate it to Shadow Canyon, where (as Burt explains) the Spectre, another camp legend about a lost hiker whose vengeful spirit is still looking for a way out of the canyon, killing anyone who hears her scream, resides. Everyone splits up; Fred, Daphne, Jessica, and Luke go investigate the building under Big Moose Lake, and Velma, Shaggy, Scooby, Burt, Trudy and Deacon head to Shadow Canyon. After being chased by the Fishman, Fred and the others discover a whole town under the lake, as well as some dynamite hidden in a cavern. Velma and company discover the missing RV and sonar equipment in Shadow Canyon and find that the sonar equipment is being used to scan the lake. Then, they are chased away by the Spectre. Everyone meets back at Camp Little Moose to go over what they found. Deacon decides he has had enough and wants to go back to Camp Big Moose, and Jessica drives him. The Mystery Inc. gang decide to ask a local shop owner about the underwater town. He explains that it was a mining town called Moose Creek, that was forced to be evacuated to create the dam and Big Moose Lake. More importantly, the treasure of a notorious gangster named Ricky LaRue is said to still be buried there. Before his death, the gangster had told his cellmate, Babyface Boretti, that when the sun hits the town steeple on the Summer Solstice, the location of the treasure would be revealed. Boretti himself escaped prison two months prior to the gang’s arrival at camp. The gang reasons that the dynamite will be used to destroy the dam and reveal Moose Creek in order for the monsters to find the treasure, as the next day is the Summer Solstice. But doing this would flood Camp Little Moose. The gang returns to the camp to find that the Woodsman has laid waste to it, but Burt, Luke, and Trudy are safe. The gang realizes that if the Woodsman found the camp unoccupied, he would be free to destroy the dam. The dam then explodes, and everyone narrowly escapes. The gang goes to Moose Creek, now exposed, to explore. There they find Jessica, who explains she was following Deacon. They are then attacked by the Woodsman, who chases Fred, Jessica, and Luke. The rest are found by Deacon, who, after locking them up, reveals that he is in fact Babyface Boretti, and is looking for the treasure. The Woodsman chases Fred and the others up the bell tower, but he is soon knocked out the window. The Fishman appears later, but Scooby knocks it through a wall with the Mystery Machine. They unmask it again and it turns out to be Ranger Knudsen, who posed as the Woodsman, the Fishman, and the Spectre. The gang also capture Babyface Boretti, who tries to escape with the treasure. Velma explains that Boretti and Knudsen teamed up to scare away the kids at Camp Little Moose, explode the dam, and take the treasure. When the Mystery gang arrived, Boretti posed as Deacon to try to convince everyone to leave and the two used the sonar equipment to search for the town under the lake, all while utilizing the disguises to scare away the campers and anyone near the lake. They also figured that the Spectre used a zipline to fly through the canyon. In the end, Boretti and Knudsen are arrested; Burt and Jessica merge the camps to form Camp Little Big Moose at Moose Creek, and the Mystery Inc. gang serves the remainder of the summer as camp counselors. In a post-credits scene, it is revealed that the Specter is really haunting the camp, and was not a disguise. ===== The film begins with a scene from Carole's childhood.

Jack is the gifted twin, while Jill constantly tries—and fails miserably—to get his attention by injuring him or driving others away from him. In present-day Los Angeles, Jack is a successful advertising executive who lives with his wife Erin and their two kids Sofia and Gary, a Hindu child they adopted at birth. Jill is unemployed and she never left the working-class neighborhood they grew up in; she recently inherited the Sadelstein home, having lived with their mother until her death a year ago. As always, Jack is genuinely irritated by the upcoming Thanksgiving visit of his sister. Jill ruins Thanksgiving dinner by loudly embarrassing a homeless guest as well as Erin's parents. Jack immediately lashes out at his sister, making Jill run into the woods with her pet cockatoo Poopsie. Erin demands that Jack apologize, which he unwillingly does. Jill has a list of things she wants to do while in Los Angeles: be on a game show (The Price is Right, which gives Jill a carload of prizes after she knocks herself out while spinning the wheel); go horseback riding (she proves too heavy for the pony, which collapses under her); and do a studio tour. Since Jill has an open-ended plane ticket, she decides to stay until after Hanukkah, to Jack's horror. Jack encourages Jill to try online dating, but she is unsuccessful until Jack alters her profile. When Jill's date "Funbucket" meets her, he hides in the men's room until she leaves the restaurant. Jack's agency client, meanwhile, wants him to somehow get actor Al Pacino to appear in a Dunkin' Donuts commercial to promote a new coffee called the "Dunkaccino". Jack takes Jill to a Lakers game where Pacino is supposed to be. Pacino ignores Jack but is taken with Jill and gives her his phone number. Jack hopes Jill will go home by New Year's Eve, as the family is going on a cruise. Jack's friends and colleagues throw him a birthday party, extending the invitation to Jill. Again Jill loudly disgraces herself, Jack, and the various celebrities in attendance. Pacino brings Jill to his home, but despite his infatuation with her, she is uninterested with him and soon leaves. Jack's Mexican gardener Felipe, also smitten with Jill, takes her to meet his family at their annual fiesta, where she hits it off with everybody, and tries Mexican food for the first time, causing her to defecate after acquiring a horrible case of diarrhea. Pacino refuses to do the commercial unless Jack gets him another date with Jill; to that end, Jack invites Jill on the cruise with his family. At sea, Jill refuses to see Pacino again, so Jack disguises himself as his sister and goes on her date with Pacino. Jill suspects that she was only invited just so Pacino would do the commercial; that is confirmed when she phones Jack, he answers as Jill, and she hears Pacino in the background. Pacino, still believing Jack to be Jill, spells out that he sees Jill as an unrecognized woman proud of her brother's success. Feeling guilty, Jack returns to the ship, only to learn that Jill has gone back home to The Bronx. At a restaurant on New Year's Eve, toting a picture of her and Jack's late mother, Jill comes across a group of former classmates and bullies, led by Monica, who pick up directly where they left off until Jack, Erin and their kids show up. Jack and Jill converse in their made-up twin language (which even Jack finds incomprehensible). Monica attacks Erin and is cold cocked by Jill. Pacino also turns up at the party, dressed as the Man of La Mancha, and tells Jill that while he has feelings for her, there is another man more worthy of her than himself. She goes home, where Felipe and his children await her arrival. Felipe professes his love for Jill, and the two begin a relationship. The television commercial is made, with Pacino starring and singing a rap song. When Jack shows it to him, Pacino tells him to destroy every copy. ===== The episode begins with Emperor Nikolai of Robo-Hungary visiting. Bender voices a desire to steal his crown, but nobody wants to play the part of his accomplices. Meanwhile, Professor Farnsworth switches consciousness with Amy using a new invention so that he can relive his youth. Likewise, Amy is nostalgic for her younger days of constantly eating and wishes to use the Professor's skinny body to gorge herself with food for a while. However Amy finds that the Professor's aging body simply can't digest like it used to, while Farnsworth finds that Amy's human body can't take the thrills he's seeking out. Even as they give up, they find they cannot revert to their own bodies, because the device will not operate on the same pairing of bodies. The Professor first suggests they might be able to switch back to their original bodies with a third person. Bender volunteers and switches bodies with the Professor (in Amy's body) so he can perform a robbery without being identified. Even as Bender rushes out, the Professor realises that the three of them still won't be back in their real bodies. He tires of trying to solve the problem and decides to run away in Bender's body and join the Robot Circus, renaming himself Nonchalanto and performing foolhardy stunts for cheap thrills. Bender — now in Amy's body — goes aboard the yacht of Robo-Hungarian Emperor Nikolai, planning to steal his crown. He knocks out Nikolai's first officer and cousin. After binding and gagging him, he realizes his timing is off and accidentally throws his watch through a metal detector. He is then captured by the Emperor. When Bender states that he is really a robot who has switched bodies with a human, Nikolai reveals that he feels trapped by his wealth and wishes to live the life of a normal, "peasant" robot for a while. Bender is unable to find his real body (the Professor having run away) and so tricks him into switching bodies with the robot Washbucket and inhabits Nikolai's body, planning to live the life of an Emperor. Washbucket, now in Amy's body, professes 'her' love to Scruffy, and even suggests they run away together, but he sadly turns her away, reminding her that he is still a man and she is a robot. She traipses away sadly and he curls up and cries. At the circus, the Professor is having a fine time as the world's most indifferent robot daredevil, when he meets the Grande Dame, the robot cannon Big Bertha. He politely asks if he could be shot from her, but she admits that she is so old, it would end her life. He asks if she'd like a new, young body, but she turns him down briskly, telling him that her body may be old, but it is still hers to treasure, giving him pause for thought. Meanwhile, still believing that Fry only loves her for her body, Leela switches bodies with Amy, thus inhabiting the Professor's body - not realising Amy intends to use hers to gorge herself. Of course Fry is disgusted, and then upset when she claims to be right. He asks Hermes Conrad for advice, who proposes he play Leela at her own game. Fry switches bodies with the disgusting alien Zoidberg in an attempt to repulse Leela. This leads them to try to one-up each other on a date. During this time, Amy's appetite has made Leela's body become massively fat. Despite this, Amy continues to gorge herself and gain even more weight until Hermes switches bodies with her because she can't make his body much worse. However while at the restaurant Amy (as Hermes) witnesses Fry and Leela on their repulsive date, putting her off her food. Fry and Leela's date then climaxes with the two having sex with each other in their equally grotesque bodies, and they admit they actually enjoyed it. In the meantime, Zoidberg and Nikolai, in the respective bodies of Fry and Washbucket, become friends and attempt to assume the lives of Fry and Bender. Zoidberg is completely unused to normal living conditions however, and blows up Bender's apartment. Back on the yacht, Nikolai's cousin and fiancee reveal to Bender that they have been having an affair, and are planning to kill him and blame the burglar. Even learning he is actually Bender doesn't change their minds. They chase him to the United Nations General Assembly. Watching from the Robot Circus, the Professor realises what's going on, but the only way to get there in time would be by Big Bertha's cannon. He is hesitant because this would end her life, but as a loyal Robo-Hungarian she insists, and Bender is saved with the assistance of the Professor - and the circus' twenty loyal Robo-Hungarian robot clowns who travel in his chest compartment. Finally, two Globetrotters, Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate and "Sweet" Clyde Dixon, mathematically prove that everyone's minds can be restored using two additional bodies. They proceed to do so, using themselves as the extras. Hermes reveals that Amy's temporary fast put her off her food long enough for him to shed some weight and Amy has been cured of her desire to binge-eat, while the Professor has gotten some of the thrills out of his system and learned that his old body is a memento of his life, not a punishment for his age. The Emperor meanwhile has learned that common folk do not have such carefree lives as he'd thought. He makes Clyde a Duke. In the last seconds of the episode, Bender realizes that the real crown is in Nikolai's compartment. Having learned nothing, as the credits start to roll, he repeats his line from the start, wanting to re-steal the crown. ===== Ravenpaw wakes up in the Moonstone Cave. Barley wakes up from a nightmare, telling Ravenpaw of his life in BloodClan, where he had three littermates. After leaving their mother, Barley and his sister, Violet, continued living together. It is against BloodClan rules for families to stay together, so when they were caught, they were brought before Scourge. As a punishment, Violet was attacked and nearly killed by her and Barley's brothers, Jumper and Hoot, who had renamed themselves Ice and Snake. After Barley is finished, Ravenpaw tells him that ThunderClan will help them. They encounter a patrol of WindClan warriors. The patrol thinks that Barley and Ravenpaw have kidnapped Crowkit, a mischievous young gray tom. When Mudclaw sees that it's Ravenpaw and Barley, he tells the patrol that they are friends. Ravenpaw promises to help look for Crowkit and the patrol leaves. Ravenpaw suggests that they travel to ThunderClan through Fourtrees. As they pass by the Great Rock, they find Crowkit struggling to climb to the top. They hear fighting, seeing that Mudclaw's patrol has crossed the ThunderClan border to accuse a ThunderClan patrol of stealing Crowkit. A fight is narrowly avoided when Ravenpaw and Barley appear with Crowkit. The WindClan patrol leaves with Crowkit. Dustpelt agrees to take Barley and Ravenpaw to Firestar. When they reach the ThunderClan Camp, they are greeted by several cats. As they pass by the nursery, they meet Sandstorm and her daughters, Squirrelkit and Leafkit. Ravenpaw congratulates Sandstorm, and Firestar appears. He asks what's brought Barley and Ravenpaw to ThunderClan. They tell him everything, and Firestar agrees to help. Ravenpaw goes to Firestar to find out what's wrong, as some ThunderClan cats return from fighting. He learns that BloodClan cats have been attacking patrols. Firestar must help ThunderClan before he can send anyone to save the farm. Ravenpaw and Barley go on a hunting patrol. As they return, they are attacked by BloodClan cats. There is a short fight, during which one of the BloodClan cats, Snipe, seems to recognize Barley. When another ThunderClan patrol arrives, the BloodClan cats flee. When they return to camp, Barley hints to Ravenpaw that he might have known Snipe before. Shortly afterwards, Firestar and Graystripe ask Barley for help in finding BloodClan's home in the Twolegplace. Barley takes offense and runs off into the forest. Ravenpaw goes to him and tells him that he must tell Firestar anything he knows. Rainpaw and Sorrelpaw leave to go hunting. As Ravenpaw tries to coax information out of Barley, Rainpaw runs back to camp. He says that they were attacked by BloodClan and that Sorrelpaw is hurt. They find her and bring her back to camp. Barley sees what happened, and he goes to Firestar to tell everything he knows. Barley tells Firestar about Snipe and that he doesn't know much. Ravenpaw suggests that Violet might know more, reasoning that she still lives in Twolegplace. Ravenpaw and Barley leave to find her. When they do, she tells them that BloodClan is getting organized again. Violet leads them to a friend of hers, Mitzi. Mitzi's son, Fritz, was kidnapped by BloodClan one moon before. She followed the cats when they took him and learned where their home was. She gladly takes them there. Violet, Barley, and Ravenpaw return to ThunderClan to tell Firestar where the BloodClan cats live. He gathers a battle patrol. The patrol slips out of camp and heads to the place that Mitzi showed them. When they arrive, they find all of BloodClan assembled before Ice and Snake. Violet and Barley's brothers are the new leaders of BloodClan and suddenly, surprisingly, Violet walks forward to them. She calls to them, telling them that their names are Jumper and Hoot and that she is their sister. Seeming to have forgotten about their kin, Ice and Snake are ready to let BloodClan slaughter her when Barley leaps up too. Upon sight of their brother, they are reminded of that day, seasons ago, when they tried to kill their sister. Now, they want to try again. Firestar gives the order to attack. BloodClan and ThunderClan become a single, fighting mass. Suddenly, the battle is over. Ice and Snake walk over to them when Barley and Violet pounce, catching their brothers by surprise. Seeing that they are about to be beaten, they plead for mercy. Barley says that they've been attacking cats and stealing prey, so now they must pay. Ice and Snake try to wriggle out of punishment by claiming that they never did anything. It was the rest of BloodClan. With that, BloodClan turns on them and they drive their leaders away. Only one cat stays behind, and it is Fritz, Mitzi's son. He, Barley and Violet leave to go back to Violet's housefolk and Fritz's housefolk. Firestar promises Ravenpaw that when his clan has rested, he will lead a patrol to drive Willie and his group of rogues from the farm. ===== Fifteen-year-old Lucas moves from Stockholm, Sweden, to a small town in Norway.

The Castle is haunted by the ghost of a deceased ancestor, Sir Simon de Canterville, doomed to remain on the estate after the death of his wife. His goal is to send the family packing so he begins a ghostly reign of terror. As is revealed by Lord Canterville (Sir Simon's descendant) and the servants Mr. and Mrs. Umney, numerous people have stayed at Canterville Hall in the last few years and have all been scared away by Sir Simon - the locals start betting on how long the Otis family will stay. Virginia 'Ginny' Otis, the daughter, discovers a mysterious prophecy in a book about the house's history, and a secret passage in the library that leads to a cell where Sir Simon resides during the day with his raven familiar Gabriel. Initially disliking the house and life in England, Ginny starts to appreciate her new home and becomes attracted to Francis, the young Duke of Cheshire, who has also seen Sir Simon's ghost. Unfortunately, Hiram does not believe in ghosts and accuses Ginny of trying to scare the family so they'll return to America. Sir Simon becomes infuriated by the family's resilience and is himself scared by a fake ghost that the boys build. Angrily chasing the Otis children, Sir Simon causes Ginny to get in even more trouble with her father - who is so sceptical he can't even see Sir Simon. Ginny uses the secret passage to return to the cell and ends up befriending him. Later, Francis explains to Ginny that Sir Simon was suspected of murdering his wife Lady Eleanor and his fate remains unknown. Sir Simon appears to Ginny and advises her to not let her fears ruin her chances of finding true love. Ginny follows his advice and makes her feelings apparent to Francis. Hiram, still blaming Ginny for the strange happenings, decides to send Ginny back home to America. Going to Sir Simon for help, Ginny explains how her father doesn't believe in ghosts (much to the ghost's bemusement). They plot to trick Hiram into believing by performing a scene from Hamlet with Sir Simon as the ghost of Hamlet's father. During the performance, however, Sir Simon chickens out and disappears halfway through the scene, with Hiram insisting it was a special effect (although the rest of the family are sure it was a real ghost). Ginny discovers that the lines of the play brought back sad memories for Sir Simon. He confesses that he drove his wife insane after being tricked into thinking she had been unfaithful and that Lady Eleanor killed herself. Surrendering himself to Eleanor's family for punishment, Sir Simon was locked in the cell to starve and cursed by a witch, who condemned him to haunt the house by night and lament the death of his wife by day. Sir Simon can only rest if he is redeemed and allowed to pass on. Sir Simon reveals that Ginny has already fulfilled part of the prophecy by weeping for him. Next, she must pray for him. Sir Simon takes her through a portal in the fireplace to the "Realm of Darkness" to plead to the Angel of Death on his behalf. The next morning, Hiram goes to Ginny's bedroom to try to make amends and discovers she isn't there. Panicking, the family search the house and estate aided by Francis, the Umneys, Lord Canterville and the locals. They find the cloak Ginny was wearing in the library and everyone but Hiram realises that Ginny has been taken away by the ghost. Hiram starts to hear Ginny's voice in his mind and sees her image in Sir Simon's portrait, causing him to start believing in ghosts. That night, they hear a mysterious noise and rush to the library, where the fireplace opens to reveal Ginny trying to get home from the Realm of Darkness. Her family and Francis rescue her before the portal closes. Ginny takes the family to Sir Simon's cell and they find his chained skeleton. Gabriel disappears, no longer needed, and they hear the chapel bell (which is broken) ring out. Outside, a dead almond tree comes back to life and blooms, fulfilling the prophecy and confirming that Sir Simon is redeemed. The family decide to stay at Canterville indefinitely, with the blessing of Lord Canterville (who gives Ginny a ring that once belonged to Lady Eleanor) and have Sir Simon's remains buried in the garden beside Lady Eleanor's. Francis and Ginny visit the grave and Ginny thanks Sir Simon for everything he taught her about life, death and how love is stronger than both. Ghostly voices are heard, implying that Sir Simon has been reunited with his wife and is finally happy. ===== Pioneer leader Serge, a sculptor, decides to work in a new plastic material, among creatively gifted children in a camp located in an old mansion.

While there, Amelia witnesses the murder of Jane Shilladay (O'Grady), a policewoman who works for the domestic violence unit and is romantically involved with colleague and amateur boxer Rocky (Campbell). By lip-reading CCTV footage, Amelia provides Edwards with a link between the two apparently unrelated murders, and recognises a member of the drug squad as one of the killers. He keeps her evidence and identity a secret in order to protect her, putting his career at risk, but their lives become endangered when he begins to unravel police corruption within the drug squad.The Silence:Episodes 1 and 2, 7 July 2010, www.bbc.co.uk.

She suddenly remembers she forgot to turn off the iron, and rushes to get home. When she gets there, she finds that it was still hot, but someone had already switched it off. Eventually dismissing it as a lapse of memory, she continues her daily routine of taking care of her two daughters and working on her next painting. While she's working, her husband, Craig, sends a singing telegram with flowers as an anniversary gift. Later, while fixing dinner, Sophie senses that someone is in the house, but shrugs it off. Then Elly complains of the same feeling, and being frightened of it. Sophie has a look around and seems to notice things just slightly out of place, but again decides it's nothing of concern. Later, she has to pick up Craig because he has lost his keys. Sophie continues to feel on edge that night during their anniversary dinner. The next day, she finds one of her paintings destroyed and assumes her cat knocked over the inkwell. She soon meets Mara, her husband's new co-worker, at a party. Mara and Sophie leave the party for a walk to the beach, where they have a talk. Mara offers Sophie her sympathy for her mother's passing, telling her she can relate because she lost her best friend, Kate, who had been an aid worker with orphans in Kosovo. She told Sophie that someone threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of the orphanage, and Kate burned to death trying to save the babies. Over the next few weeks, items begin to go missing from Sophie's house, including one of her dresses and her daughter's favorite stuffed animal, causing the child great distress. She comes to suspect that Mara is stealing her belongings after seeing her wearing the missing dress, but Sophie has no evidence. She then breaks into Mara's house to collect proof, but gets caught and is given a restraining order. Craig does not back up Sophie in court. Sophie soon suspects Craig may be having an affair with Mara, but he is quick to shrug it off. Sophie decides to take Craig's suggestion to stay in a friend's cabin, to spend time apart from the family and clear her mind. During a conversation with her father, it is revealed that Sophie became pregnant at the age of 18, and the baby had been surrendered to an orphanage against Sophie's wishes. When Sophie returns home from the cabin, she realizes her cat is nowhere to be found. She suspects Mara is behind it, so she decides to sneak onto Mara's property to check. She finds her cat inside the house, but the burglar alarm goes off, attracting a neighbor's attention. Sophie hides in the basement just as Mara returns, who then searches the house to find out why the alarm was tripped. Wielding a hammer, she checks the basement while Sophie hides behind a shelf unit. Mara seems to sense someone is there but doesn't say anything. She just goes back upstairs and bolts the basement door, locking Sophie inside. Mara then goes to work. Sophie begins to look around for tools or a way out, and finds her missing items, including her daughter's beloved toy and family photos with her face cut out of them. She realizes her suspicions of Mara were correct. She also finds a birth certificate and a letter from an adoption agency addressed to Mara, informing her that, despite her request, her biological mother did not wish to make contact with her. Because of the details in the documents, Sophie comes to believe that Mara was the baby she gave up. While this is going on, Mara attempts to seduce Craig at his office, but they are interrupted by a phone call from his children's school. The school informs Craig that Sophie has not picked up the children. Craig needs to attend a meeting, so Mara offers to pick up the girls and take them to her house. When they arrive at Mara's house, Sophie, who is trying to escape via the air ducts, sees them through a floor vent in the kitchen. She tries to get her daughter's attention, but Mara discovers her instead. Mara confronts Sophie in the basement and threatens her. Sophie tries to reason with Mara, who will have none of it. Sophie tells her she knows she is her mother, and she is sorry for giving her up. Mara strikes Sophie and smashes a bottle of wine on the floor. She drops a lit match on the wine, setting the basement on fire and hoping to kill Sophie. They struggle, and Mara's trouser legs catch fire, but Sophie saves her and helps Mara walk out to safety. At the hospital, Craig is given the contents of his wife's pockets. Among them is the birth certificate and letter from the adoption agency. When Sophie wakes up, Craig tells her he knows about Mara, and they resolve to make their relationship work. Later, Sophie visits Mara in her hospital room, asking if she can include their story in her book. Sophie tells Mara she was brave to try to meet her, and she was a coward to refuse. Sophie asks for forgiveness, and they embrace as Mara weeps, apparently now forging a true mother-daughter bond. When the nurse tells Sophie she can't be there, she replies, "I'm her mother." While Mara continues to recover at home, she pores over old news clippings and photos of her deceased childhood friend, Kate. There is a photo of Mara and Kate together as children in the orphanage, and we see that Kate looked just like Elly does now, and another photo of Mara and Kate together as adults in Kosovo. In that one, we see Kate grew up to be the spitting image of Sophie, revealing it was actually Kate who was Sophie's daughter. She then angrily cuts out Ruby's face from another of Sophie's family photos and replaces it with her own, so her face is next to Sophie's. The caption written in the scrapbook reads "Mother and Me". ===== Nathan Harper is an 18-year-old high school senior living in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his parents Kevin and Mara. He has troubles from recurring nightmares and has been seeing psychiatrist Dr. Geraldine "Geri" Bennett to treat him. Nathan is teamed with Karen Murphy for a school research project on missing children. He discovers he looks very much like an age-progression photo of a missing child, Steven Price. His investigations show that he and his parents are probably biologically unrelated. He approaches his mother and she confirms the truth. Two men claiming to be from the Bridgewater Juvenile Justice Department arrive at Nathan's home while Mara has finished confirming to Nathan that his suspicions are true. Mara is suspicious and attacks the two, but is shot and killed by the intruders. Kevin is also killed, but not before shouting for Nathan to run. Nathan runs but returns for Karen, who is captured. Nathan rescues her and attempts to find out who the man is, but is forced out of the house because of a bomb. The blast injures Karen, so Nathan takes her to the hospital and attempts to contact the police. His call is intercepted by CIA operative Frank Burton, who tells Nathan he is in danger and he will send two men to collect him. Dr. Bennett helps him and Karen escape. Burton explains that Nathan's biological father, Martin, stole an encrypted list of 25 corrupt CIA operatives from the Serbian terrorist and freelance intelligence broker Nikola Kozlow when Nathan was 3. Kozlow then planned on abducting Nathan to coerce Martin to hand over the list. Nathan had been given to his adoptive parents to protect him. Kozlow used the website to claim Nathan as the missing child Steven Price in order to find him. Dr. Bennett gives Nathan the address of a safe house in Arlington, Virginia and tells him to trust only Martin and a man named Paul Rasmus. Burton is warned by his superior to end the situation as soon as possible once he learns of Bennett, who is revealed to be a former CIA operative. Arriving at the safehouse: the two obtain money, a gun, a photo of Nathan's biological mother Lorna Price, and a cell phone. Karen tries to call her family, but her call is intercepted by Burton and the CIA, as well as Kozlow, forcing them to flee. Finding the address for his mother, the pair discover the address is a cemetery and Lorna has died. Nathan and Karen find fresh flowers at her grave: the sender is Paul Rasmus, who lives in Nebraska. The two take an Amtrak passenger train to get there, using fake IDs provided by their friend Gilly. En route, they confess their feelings and share a kiss. They are unaware that they are being followed by Kozlow's right-hand man, who abducts Karen. He leaves her bound and gagged with duct tape, but she frees herself. Nathan fights the assailant and throws him out the window. Burton's team finds Kozlow's henchman and tracks them down. Burton explains the data that Martin had stolen to Nathan, who considers that it may contain Burton's name on the list. The agents are attacked by Kozlow's snipers. Nathan and Karen flee in a car but Kozlow calls and threatens to kill Karen's parents if Nathan does not hand over the data. Nathan gets Kozlow to agree to make the transaction at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game at their home stadium, PNC Park. Nathan works with Gilly to obtain tickets and secures a gun with the intent to kill Kozlow. When Kozlow arrives, he tells Nathan how he killed his mother when Nathan was 3 after she refused to give up Martin's location. Kozlow grabs the gun from Nathan and demands the list, Nathan bolts and Kozlow gives chase, followed by CIA operatives. Nathan is called by Martin, who tells him to trust him and run to the south parking lot. Nathan does so and Kozlow is shot and killed by Martin. Burton and his agents arrive, and Burton asks for the cell phone. However, Martin had warned his superior about Burton's corruption and takes the phone himself while Burton is taken into custody. Martin calls Nathan again, apologizing for not being the father he should have been. Nathan asks him to show himself but Martin refuses. However, he assures Nathan no-one will harm him or Karen and then he disappears. Bennett arrives with Karen and says she has arranged for Nathan to live with her until he decides what to pursue in his life. As the movie ends, Nathan and Karen go on a date. ===== In a movie theater, a mysterious stranger sits next to two girls and starts to tell them a scary story that he claims is true: Alex moves into an old house at 3 Blood Street.
