At the scene, Chávez meets the young officer Gómez (Chino Darín), who says that he found Alcorta's body after investigating a noise complaint and who has been examining the dead man's possessions. The next day, the two men encounter each other in the police station restroom, where Gómez shows Chávez a matchbook from the gay nightclub Manila that he accidentally took from the crime scene. Dolores and Chávez head to Manila in search of "Kevin," a lover of Alcorta who had left a message on the victim's answering machine. Chávez watches a flamboyant performance of a song he remembers from a record at the victim's apartment. He is approached by Gómez, claiming that he has also come to the club to investigate. Chávez angrily confronts Gómez, believing that the young man is following him, but accidentally starts a bar fight in the process, allowing the singer Kevin (Carlos Casella) to escape in the melee. Gómez joins Chávez on the homicide investigation, and they hatch a plan for Gómez to go undercover, using the younger man's good looks to get closer to Kevin. Gómez goes on a number of dates with Kevin, leading him to believe that Kevin is innocent. Meanwhile, Chávez, who is stuck in a passionless marriage, finds himself increasingly drawn to Gómez, though he does not acknowledge or act on his attraction. Chávez tries to call off the plan, thinking that Gómez is growing too fond of the suspect and questioning Gómez's sexuality; Gómez retorts by wondering if Chávez is becoming jealous. Later, Kevin takes Gómez to a room at Manila and they begin to have sex, but they are interrupted by Chávez and Dolores, who have been watching via hidden camera. Kevin is arrested and taken into custody. Chávez goes to interrogate the incarcerated Kevin, who convinces Chávez to release him from prison temporarily. Kevin shows Chávez a herd of horses that he claims the Alcorta family use for drug smuggling. Gómez arrives on the scene and fatally shoots Kevin as he attempts to escape on horseback. Chávez again confronts Gómez, who claims that he was only trying to protect Chávez and that Kevin invented the smuggling story. When Gómez attempts to pull Chávez in for a kiss, Chávez reacts with a mixture of anger and desire, holding Gómez at gunpoint and forcing him against his car. Chávez begins to unbuckle his belt, but is interrupted by the arrival of police backup. The city's criminal justice system moves to close the investigation under pressure from the Alcorta family. However, Chávez discovers that the horses were surgically implanted with drugs, matching Kevin's story. Chávez now believes that Gómez killed Jaime Figueroa Alcorta on behalf of the Alcorta family, who were angered by the dead man's opposition to the smuggling business. When Chávez confronts Gómez with his hypothesis, Gómez pleads innocence, and Chávez's paranoia reaches an extreme when he draws his gun on two policemen. Realizing his mistake, Chávez exclaims that he is going insane. Gómez comforts Chávez and begins to kiss him. After initially pulling back, Chávez returns the kiss passionately, but is soon stopped by a gunshot to the stomach, confirming his suspicions about Gómez. As he sinks to the ground, Gómez tells him that he will miss him. Gómez throws his gun into the river, smokes a cigarette, and walks off into the night. ===== Indrajit, Son of Ravana, has Rama and Lakshmana kidnapped by Ahiravan and Mahiravana.

The sea becomes calm moments later. They then notice they are hungry and decided to fish. Oswald casts a line, and the parrot goes down with the hook to find suitable fish. The parrot places the line on a fish, and signals Oswald to reel in. But the fish the parrot selected is too big and therefore drags Oswald below the sea. The fish has Oswald in his grasp before putting the rabbit in his mouth. The fish, however, finds out he isn't hungry and that he removes Oswald. But he tells he'll be hungry again and will look for them after an hour. Oswald and the parrot figure they need to getaway far and quickly as possible. Oswald and the parrot go on to wonder the floor of the sea. But instead of continuing, they come across an old organ which catches their curiosity (and also distracts them from their getaway). As Oswald plays the organ, he and the parrot sing the song It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'. Other sea creatures join their singing. The hour has passed, and the fish comes for the two friends. Oswald and the parrot, who are still at the organ, frantically make their move upon seeing their pursuer. While they try to keep distance, the fish manages to get his teeth on the parrot's tail. Oswald refuses to let go of the bird. A tug-of-war ensues until the fish ends up having his skeleton extracted. Oswald and the parrot are relieved of their worries, knowing the now boneless fish can longer go after them. ===== Elmer Stone, quarterback of the 1899 Colton College football team vows to remain a student until Colton beats its biggest rival, State University.

The gang goes back home to Kjeld and Yvonne to discuss their next caper. Unlike most other Olsen Gang films, this heist will take place in Jutland. Egon has obtained a map for a treasure stored in an old German command bunker on the west coast. To get to Jutland they must cross the then newly built Little Belt Bridge. But two other criminals (Helle Virkner and Willy Rathnov) have also got wind of the story. And the Olsen Gang do not make it easier for themselves by taking Yvonne along. And they mistakenly believe that it will be easy to fool the locals - especially they misjudge the wily scrap dealer (Karl Stegger) and his mute assistant (Preben Kaas).

Dinny is exiled from his native Cork City with his two sons Blake and Sean. Every day, holed up in the flat, they endlessly perform a play which depicts, in extremely garbled form, their last day in Ireland, which featured the death of Dinny's mother, followed by Dinny murdering his brother and sister-in-law. Blake plays all the female roles in a variety of wigs, while Sean plays the male roles. They also perform as younger versions of themselves, in which they bully other children and kill a dog. As they repeat the play (to an audience of nobody), it becomes apparent that this is a script that is constantly revised and modified, and features many bizarre events (such as Dinny's mother and neighbour dying in an accident involving a horse and a speedboat). Sean has some memory of the real events, and tells Blake (who has no memory of them) that the boys were in reality quiet children who planned to become astronauts and bus drivers when they grew up, and that their depiction as young sadists is their father's invention. Only Sean is permitted to leave the flat, walking down fifteen flights of stairs to go to the local Tesco supermarket for "supplies". One day he accidentally brings back the wrong shopping, and the cashier, Hayley, who has developed a connection to Sean, goes to the flat to give him his groceries. The first act ends with her entrance into the flat, as the present day and reality intrude on Dinny's recreation of an imagined past. The family struggle to integrate Hayley into the performance as she struggles to escape, and to bring Sean with her. ===== In 2002, shortly after 9/11, Ray Kasten (Ejiofor), a counterterrorism agent for the FBI, and his friend Jessica "Jess" Cobb (Roberts), an investigator for the Los Angeles district attorney's office, meet new ADA Claire Sloan (Kidman).

Claire taunts Marzin, provoking him to expose himself and punch her, saying he's going to give Claire what Carolyn got. Ray beats Marzin, which leads to Morales ordering Marzin released. As Marzin gloats, an enraged Ray suggests they kill him before he gets away, but Jess refuses to go that route, saying death would be too easy on him. After his release, the police find Marzin's van, but Siefert burns it to destroy the evidence against Marzin. Thirteen years later, Ray, now head of security for the New York Mets, returns to Los Angeles and reunites with Claire, now the D.A., while Jess, who has been asocial since the loss of her daughter, is Claire's top investigator.

Beckwith and his men are arrested, but Jess insists that Beckwith is not Marzin. When Ray and Claire pay a visit to Jess's isolated farmhouse, she confesses that she found and killed Marzin thirteen years previously, shortly after Ray left Los Angeles. Later, Ray follows Jess into her barn and discovers that Marzin is actually alive, having been imprisoned in a cage for over a decade. Marzin begs Ray to ask Jess to talk to him. Ray pulls out his gun and leaves it with Jess as he goes outside and starts digging a grave. Ray hears Jess shooting Marzin.

The area is known for Islamic extremism, and she passes on intel to the security services, including MI5 Intelligence Chief Emily Knowles. Racine's former station chief and mentor Eric Lasch tells her she should not feel guilty for the Paris deaths and needs to get back into the field. The CIA and MI5 learn that radical imam Yazid Khaleel plans a biological attack on an American target on British soil in collaboration with American-born Islamic convert David Mercer. Frank Sutter, an officer from the CIA's London Station, tells her she has orders from Europe Division Chief Bob Hunter to help them interrogate and break Khaleel's captured courier, Lateef. In a hotel, Racine interrogates Lateef and coaxes the message he is to deliver to Mercer's representative. Before divulging the details of the message to Sutter, she receives a call from her handler, Ed Romley, who confusingly gives her the same mission brief as Sutter. Realising she has been tricked, Racine attempts to remove Lateef from their custody, but he dies during a gunfight. She retreats to Lasch's apartment, but operatives attack, and Racine witnesses Lasch's death. She escapes to a safe house owned by Lasch and apprehends burglar Jack Alcott, who is in the process of robbing the apartment.

Racine seeks the help of Amjad, a friend and client from the community centre. She and Alcott confront Khaleel in a Moroccan restaurant, where he confesses he no longer believes in the radical extremism he promotes. Though he has given the courier a stand down order, Khaleel anticipates that Mercer will still proceed with the attack. While following an associate of Lateef, Racine discovers Alcott is working with Sutter, and the two fight; Racine escapes after Alcott is killed by an aggrieved third party. Racine approaches Knowles, who agrees to help Amjad stand in as the courier to meet with Mercer's representative. Knowles reveals to Racine that intelligence from the French DGSI suggests senior parties in the CIA allowed the Paris attack to take place, as one of the victims killed in the bombings was a CIA whistle blower. Romley's team track the bullets used in the killing of their men who apprehended Lateef to an AT308C sniper rifle, which is revealed to have been checked out of a Metropolitan Police armoury by corrupt MI5 operative John Wilson. Wilson, a part of the team providing cover for Knowles operation, guns down his fellow operatives, injures Knowles but fails to kill Racine. Amjad is killed in the crossfire.

Racine tracks him to a warehouse outside of Wembley Stadium, where a sold-out game of American football is due to be played. Lasch reveals he wants the biological attack to occur; the visiting Americans will transport the virus back home and force the US Government to take the threat of biological warfare seriously. After shooting Wilson, Racine and Lasch engage in a brief fight, after which he falls to his death and Racine disarms the virus canisters. Knowing that Mercer will flee to Syria, Hunter instructs her to intercept him en route. As Mercer is about to meet with a contact in Prague, Racine cuts a deep incision into his groin, opening his femoral artery, killing him. Hunter meets with Racine and welcomes her back to active duty. ===== The book (and adapted film) follow a 39 year old man who has experienced personal tragedy and is currently climbing out of depression and grief.

After being trained as a care- giver, his first job is for a boy with muscular dystrophy, 19-year-old Trev. The disease has taken the movement of Trev's body, but definitely not the spark from his brain and quick, silver-tongued wit. The two find a match in each other, supporting each other in quiet or razzing ways, and ultimately pushing each other to move beyond their deep-rooted and insurmountable sorrows (one from loss, the other from the impending loss of his life from a disease). The strong theme is about love and connection. In the end, this is a story about valuing life and how fragile life is, how precious it is, and how — despite the inevitability of death — the path to that end (including love) is what matters. ===== Ben is an out-of-work writer in Seattle, avoiding his estranged wife’s attempts to serve him with divorce papers.

Further down the highway, they find a pregnant woman named Peaches whose car has broken down and offer her a ride. When they stop for the night, Trevor asks Dot on a date to the diner across the street, and she accepts. The next day, the four confront Trevor's father at his dealership.

Lashing out at each other, Trevor and Ben prepare to drive home, but Dot insists they complete their journey.

Because of poor signaling from the signal man, Pooch runs but the other competitors remain in their starting position. Pooch reaches the finish line but fails to come across as the tape slings him back to the starting line. The signal man restarts the race, and this time all the runners make their move. Pooch again reaches the finish line but again gets sling back by the tape. His second flight also causes him to push back the other runners.

After failing to go over the bar twice, an official lowers it but Pooch still fails at third attempt. The official lowers the bar one more time. Pooch finally makes it over but goes too far and lands on a tree. In the third event, Pooch tries to hurl a large hammer head attached to a string, a contest similar to trying to throw a metal ball attached to a chain. But instead of the hammer head being thrown, Pooch gets airborne before landing in a trash bin a few miles away. Pooch rides a taxi to return to the competition. The fourth and final event involves jumping into a tub filled with water from a highly elevated plank. But as Pooch leaps, the tub somehow moves, and therefore an official sends him back up. And when Pooch plunges again, everyone below moves away instead of breaking his fall. Pooch plummets into the ground, creating a deep hole as a result. Surprisingly, a Tibetan man from the hole picks up and places him back on the surface. For some reason, Pooch is declared the winner of the competition.

Pooch, however, survives, wondering what just happened. All the others that perished are seen in white wings, floating towards the sky. ===== Gregori, who operates as the patriarch to a "family" of child assassins, adopts Alexander after seeing his mother, Susanna, without a partner at a hospital.

In the first fable, set shortly after World War II, a Jewish chemist decides that the atomic bomb is too clumsy a weapon, and invents a form of poison gas that is lighter than air. In the second fable the British government refuses to buy the gas, so the scientist sells it to South Africa, which uses it on London. British politicians are discussing the ways South Africa has been using the gas, but find themselves being eliminated by it. These events unleash a "dark age". In the third fable, set in a socialist society of the future, scientists have developed techniques to exactly measure human capabilities. Two subjects are tested in the Anthropometric Laboratory by members of the "Upper Ten", a ruling elite. Social status is determined by these scientific tests. Those who are "dangerous and incorrigable" are liquidated. In the fourth fable, set in the further future, the Commissioner of Diets dictates into a machine a report about how humans can now live entirely on air and water. Having started by eliminating meat from their diet, they have progressed to live without food altogether, inspired by a mythical ancient sage who lived before the "dark age" and whose name is variously known as "Shelley, Shakespear and Shavius". This fable is followed by a dialogue between two men, a woman and a hermaphrodite, who discuss the disgusting way in which humans used to reproduce, explaining that it is now all done in a laboratory, without the need to "practice personal contacts which I would rather not describe". The hermaphrodite speaks of the desire to escape physicality altogether and become pure mind. In the final fable a group of students discuss the existence of purely disembodied beings who live entirely for "knowledge and power" and who use embodied persons to help them achieve it. They note that these beings might easily kill them: "for the pursuit of knowledge and power involves the slaughter and destruction of everything that opposes it". However, they are needed by these beings to be "destroyers of vermin", as "we have to execute criminals who have no conscience and are incorrigible". At this point one of the disembodied beings appears, taking the form of angel-like creature, and announces himself as "Raphael". Raphael explains that physical pleasures revolt him, and that he is dedicated to purely intellectual passions. ===== The movie begins with a scene from the second years' childhood, where Honoka is trying to jump over a puddle left from the rain, with Kotori cheering her on and Umi watching from behind a tree. Despite failing multiple times and being asked by Kotori to give up and go home instead, she finally manages to soar over it in the end. The story takes place after the events of the second season, where μ's (pronounced "muse") receives a notification that the organizers of Love Live! intend to hold a third competition, aiming to hold it within Tokyo Dome this time. But to achieve that dream, they require more publicity in order to have it become a sell-out concert. Therefore, to spread the appeal of school idols to even more people, they have decided to send μ's to the United States, where a TV agency has offered to do a cover on them. Even though μ's had already decided to disband, they agree to perform in order to help Love Live! gather more support, as they are still school idols until the end of the month. While preparing for the live and doing their training in New York City, μ's continues to enjoy themselves as tourists as well, with the insert song "Hello, Hoshi o Kazoete" played at the end of the montage. During one of these times, however, Honoka gets separated from the rest of the group. Lost in a foreign land, she encounters a lone Japanese female singer performing on the streets, and is charmed by her beautiful voice singing As Times Go By. On the way back to the hotel, Honoka asks about her story, and realizes that they were the same. The singer also used to perform music with her close friends, and ended up alone in New York after many encounters and partings. Honoka was led back to her hotel safely by the singer, but when she turned to introduce her to the rest of μ's, the singer had already vanished. Honoka was left carrying the singer's microphone set, with one question lingering in her head from their conversation: "What's most important is, whose sake do you sing for?" The first section of the movie concludes with them performing "Angelic Angel" in New York's Times Square and Central Park. After returning to Japan, μ's had become tremendously popular, with the whole of Akihabara covered in their advertisements and goods. Since the video from New York was broadcast across Japan, the girls are now stars, needing to sneak around wearing disguises, with the insert song "?← Heartbeat" playing. But with all the fans telling them that they want μ's to continue forever, the girls' hearts begin to waver regarding their decision to disband. They realize that they have to answer to their fans, and they have only two choices. To surpass the barrier of being only school idols and become actual idols, or to hold onto their original determination and halt activities upon the third years' graduation. Principal Minami also calls them to her office, informing them that she too wishes them to continue even if they have to reinvent themselves as something other than school idols. While Honoka is fretting over the decision at night, Tsubasa calls her out on a late night ride with A-Rise, and tells her about the possibility of lengthening μ's career just like they themselves had, and introduce their management company to her. Faced with the dilemma out in the middle of a rainstorm, Honoka hears a lone voice singing, and runs into the same singer she met before. Insisting that she needed to thank her, Honoka drags her back to her home, only to have her stop just outside, saying that that was good enough. The singer then asks if Honoka had found the answer to her question yet. After having Honoka close her eyes, the two of them are transported to a hill full of flowers, in front of a large lake. The singer then asks Honoka to jump over the lake, telling her that she definitely can fly whenever she wanted. Honoka proceeds to run down the hill and take the jump, reaffirming her love for the existence of school idols. Eli also sends Honoka a message on behalf of the third years after they had discussed it, telling her their decision to stop activities. Honoka wakes up the next morning and heads back to the rooftop, where everyone has come to the same decision. There, Honoka announces her final idea, to hold a concert to promote all school idols as their final contribution to the industry. She goes over to UTX High School where she pitches the idea to Tsubasa, who accepts it readily. Despite having sent emails to all school idols across the country, not many of them are accepting of it, which leads Honoka to decide that they need to meet them personally in order for their feelings to get through. "Future Style" plays after this sequence. Using Maki's money for train fare, they head out in groups of three across the nation to convince school idols to join their endeavor. The massive crowd gathers in Akiba at the end, and begins preparing for the school idol festival to occur. Kotori and Anju work together on the costumes, while Maki and Tsubasa work on the song. On the final evening before the event, Honoka announces to everyone the news of μ's disbandment, to everyone's dismay. The day of the festival finally arrives, and all of μ's heads towards Akiba together. As Eli decides to start a race there and μ's begins running, Honoka is distracted by a single drifting petal, reminiscent of the flowers upon the hill in the illusionary world. She begins to run while doing pirouettes and spins along the way, feeling that just like before, she really can soar anytime she wanted now with the burden off her shoulders. When she gets to the site, all of μ's is greeted by the sight of all of the school idols already there, dressed in costumes following a style similar to their own design. The massive crowd parts to give them a clear path to the stage, and the festival begins with the performance of "Sunny Day Song", which is now the song for all school idols. A new school year begins in Otonokizaka High School, with Yukiho and Alisa shown as third years carrying on μ's' will and discussing their plans for the Idol Research Club. The pair give the welcoming speech to the freshmen, talking about how the school was saved by μ's and talking about their finishing performance. The scene then transitions to a backstage flashback of μ's just before their last idol performance. The movie concludes with "Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari" being performed at the Tokyo Dome, signifying the beginning of μ's final performance. ===== The main characters are three guardian angels and the three persons they are guardians for. ===== Hired ranch-hand Tex Smith is smitten with Lucy Blake, who lives in the cattle settlement of Marco.

Various people turn up demanding redress of grievances: a Jew who complains of oppression in Germany; a colonial politician who had been denied the right to take his seat and a South American woman who objects to the politics of assassinations and vendettas. A British vicar and a Russian Bolshevik also complain about the respective influence of their competing ideologies. The vicar promptly dies of shock after realising he has been friendly with a Communist. The Jew says that the major culprits are the fascist dictators Battler, Bombardone and Flanco. He suggests that they should contact the International Court in The Hague, which the secretary does. A Dutch judge accepts the case, summoning Battler, Bombardone and Flanco to the court. To everyone's amazement the dictators all obey the summons. They are put on trial, which is broadcast internationally on television. Battler, Bombardone, and Flanco all defend themselves with grandiose speeches. The judge comments, "It turns out that we do not and cannot love one another—that the problem before us is how to establish peace among people who heartily dislike one another, and have very good reasons for doing so: in short, that the human race does not at present consist exclusively or even largely of likeable persons". Sir Orpheus Midlander, the British Foreign Secretary, threatens Battler that if Germany invades another country, Britain will take military action. As the situation seems to be escalating, news arrives that the earth has jumped out of its orbit and all humanity is threatened with freezing to death. Political differences no longer seem significant. But now all the leaders have a different plan to deal with the problem—or to ignore it. It is soon discovered that the report was false. Will this moment of shared, albeit illusory, danger help to bring the nations together? It's doubtful. But the play ends on a note of hope: "They came, these fellows. They blustered: they defied us. But they came. They came." ===== Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis investigate the women that Howard Stark has been involved with over the last six months, believing that a female Leviathan operative may have been used against Stark and to kill Ray Krzeminski, but their search is unsuccessful.

[4] ===== Romão (Wagner Moura) and Rose (Cláudia Abreu) are a poor couple living in Paraíba and in search of a job that pays R$1,000 a month, the sum Romão believes to be the minimum necessary for him to feed his children. They decide to make a trip by bicycle to Rio de Janeiro with their five children: teenager Antônio (Ravi Ramos Lacerda); children Rodney (Manoel Sebastião Alves Filho), Clévis (Felipe Newton Silva Rodrigues) and Suelena (Cícera Cristina Almino de Lima); and newborn Cícero (Cícero Wesley A. Ferreira). Along the way, they make some money washing cars and performing Roberto Carlos songs. They also give a chance to some promising opportunities, but all of them fail. They are first offered a job by a criminal, who warns them that he can only give work for "sons of a bitches". They are later promised jobs by Severino, a councilman of São Bento, but since it takes too long for him to fulfill it, they decide to leave. Later, they pray by the Statue of Father Cícero in Juazeiro do Norte, where Romão hears an announcement about the "table of Padre Cícero", one that will grant a blessing for the one who manages to lift it. Romão gives it a try, lifts it, but faints just afterwards. Later, they meet a lone traveler called Gideão (Cláudio Jaborandy), who tells them to go to Filadélfia and search for Neguiça (Fábio Lago). That night, Antônio and Clévis find a church nearby and accidentally smash a cash box full of money. Antônio gives in to temptation and takes all the bills. In Filadélfia, the family meets Neguiça, who offers them shelter, but says he has no jobs. Antônio tries to go to the local night party, but flees as soon as he gets there, unable to feel comfortable. In Feira de Santana, Antônio goes to the local bus terminus and buys tickets to Rio de Janeiro for everyone. When his parents ask where he got the money, Antônio admits it was taken from the church and Romão tears all the tickets apart. Later, the family stumble upon Panamá (Sidney Magal) and Callado (Franciolli Luciano), a pair looking for men, women and children from all ages for a "great opportunity", with no skills required. Romão reluctantly agrees and convinces Panamá to allow him to take the bikes with them on the truck that'll take them to the opportunity, as well as three members of the family that weren't selected for the job. The opportunity turns out to be a fake Pataxó quarup ritual in a club in Porto Seguro, where Romão and three of his children are dressed as supposedly legit Pataxó and Panamá poses as a foreign entertainer, owner of a park called Caminho das Nuvens (the original title of the film; could be translated as "Path of the Clouds"). Antônio sneaks in the club and when Romão sees him, he leaves the place mid-ritual, and so do his children. Frustrated, he orders Rose never to arrange them such jobs anymore. Still in Porto Seguro, Antônio meets Sereia (Carol Castro), who is giving out some Caminho das Nuvens flyers. Soon after, he meets Neguiça and Gideão again, and they take him to a local party, where he meets Sereia one more time and takes an instant picture with her.

That night, he searches for Sereia, but she is hooking up with Panamá. Antônio spills some beverage on Panamá's face, and Sereia responds by pushing him to the ground. Later, he meets his family again by case. Upon arriving in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Romão arranges Antônio a job as a bricklayer in a city far from Rio de Janeiro.

And when another driver punches him, Pooch goes into a fistfight until that driver falls off the edge of a mountainside road. Halfway in the race, Pooch stops at a refueling station. Little does he know that the fuel provided at the station is very low grade. Pooch's car starts to act bizarrely a little but still manages to carry on in the event. Back into the race, another driver loses two rear tires. Pooch, coming from behind, shows the gesture of a gentleman as he stops by and helps that driver run again.

Despite the other driver's clever wheel tactics, Pooch's cow-carried car reaches the finish line and wins. ===== The novel is a historical romance, set in England in 1799, which is commonly known as the Georgian period. The book begins with Lady Xenobia India St. Clair enduring yet another bad marriage proposal. The orphaned daughter of a marquess with unusual ideas on child rearing, India, as she is known throughout the novel, is determined not to marry for money. After the deaths of her parents, she supported herself--and earned herself a sizable dowry--as an interior designer. Now aged 26, she wants children and is prepared to leave her career to find a husband. Her friend Eleanor, the Duchess of Villiers, who was featured in This Duchess of Mine, convinces her to take one last commission, with Eleanor's stepson, Tobias "Thorn" Dautry. As explained in the earlier novel, Thorn had been abandoned by his mother and worked as a mudlark in the London slums before being rescued by his father, the Duke of Villiers. According to the constraints of English society at the time, as both an illegitimate son and a man who had made a fortune in trade (rather than inheriting one), Thorn is not considered respectable. He wants his future children to be accepted by society, and concocts a plan to marry a docile, well-bred young woman who likes children. He chooses Lady Laetitia "Lala" Rainsford, whose father is out of funds and willing to evaluate Thorn solely on his wealth. Lala's mother, however, is a snob who wishes her daughter to marry a man with a title. To impress his future mother-in-law, Thorn purchases a country house and invites the Rainsfords to visit in three weeks' time. The novel depicts Thorn's new estate as fairly run-down, with a debauched decorating scheme inappropriate for Lady Rainsford's eyes. He hires India to completely renovate the home. From their very first scene together, the characters indulge in significant verbal sparring. Once India travels to the estate, their relationship develops over a series of hilarious letters. The two become friends, and then begin a flirtation. The second half of the book takes place after the renovation is complete, allowing India and Thorn to be in the same location. As they secretly court each other, India and Thorn are forced to confront their own insecurities and fears and to determine how to handle society's expectations of them. In this half, Lala's character is also heavily developed. Other characters perceive her as sweet and biddable, a counterpoint to the independence and spirit attributed to India. In actuality, Lala has definite opinions, and she does not want to marry Thorn, who intimidates her. As the book progresses, it is revealed that Lala cannot read. Although most of the other characters, with the exception of India, believe this means Lala is stupid, readers can recognize that she is actually dsylexic. A secondary plotline involves Thorn's new ward, Rose, an overly precocious child. The interactions between Thorn and Rose show his softer side. Rose's point-of-view is made quite clear in certain sections of the story. ===== Formby played a stable boy who outwits a gang of villains and wins a £10,000 prize when he comes first in a horse race. ===== A thrill-seeking socialite named Diana Mallory is engaged to marry a bland, very proper Englishman named Roderick Keswick.

Mimi heads to Hollywood where he looks up his old Mafioso buddy, Jolly (Vic Caesar) who he finds tending bar. Jolly doesn't need much convincing to join Mimi back in a life of crime.

Handing her cash, he leaves her behind as Bullock spots her dog disguise from a helicopter and attempts to intercept her after it falls off as Roger cheers her on.

The next day, the twins converse and sing songs with Black Phillip, the family's billy goat, and accuse Thomasin of witchcraft; Thomasin's attempts to milk the nanny goat produce only blood. When Caleb awakens, he expels an apple with a bite mark from his mouth. Katherine urges the family to pray, but the twins claim to forget the words and become unresponsive. Caleb passionately proclaims his love to Christ before he dies. William, believing Thomasin is a witch, tells her she will be put on trial when the family returns to town. Thomasin points out William's sins and accuses the twins in retaliation. Enraged, William seals Thomasin and the twins inside the goat house. Thomasin denies being a witch, but the twins do not answer when she asks if they have truly spoken to the goat. Thomasin overhears William break down and confess to God that he has been prideful and made his family leave their old village out of stubbornness rather than sincere religious devotion. Later in the night, the children awaken in the goat house to see an old woman drinking milk from the nanny goat. Katherine awakens to a vision of Caleb holding Samuel. Caleb offers Samuel to Katherine and asks if she will look at a book. She chooses to breast feed the baby, but it is actually a raven that pecks at her breast, leaving her bloody in the morning. William awakens and finds the stable destroyed, the goats eviscerated, the twins missing and an unconscious Thomasin lying nearby with blood-stained hands. As Thomasin awakens, Black Phillip gores and kills William before her eyes. An unhinged Katherine, now blaming Thomasin for the tragedies and misfortunes and accusing her of trying to seduce William and Caleb, attacks her, who kills her mother with a bill hook in self-defense. Alone, Thomasin hears chiming and enters the stable, where she urges Black Phillip to speak to her. The goat responds by asking if Thomasin would like to "live deliciously" and materializes into a tall, handsome, black-clad man. He orders Thomasin to remove her clothes and to sign her name in a book that appears before her. Thomasin follows Black Phillip into the forest, where she joins a coven of witches holding a Witches' Sabbath around a bonfire. The coven begins to levitate and a laughing Thomasin joins them, ascending above the trees. ===== The story as told by Moving Picture World reads: ===== {|class="toccolours" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 2em; font-size: 85%; background:#c6dbf7; color:black; width:28em; max-width: 40%;" cellspacing="5" |style="text-align: left;"|"I read the novel in one day, and I thought it was amazing we do not do thrillers and fantasy films in Egypt and I love these genres so I thought this could be the one. I felt very sorry for the characters, especially Yehia Rahed, the main character. I always thought that “The Blue Elephant” is about performance. I love working with actors and all the characters and their back-stories were really quite interesting. One of the things that grabbed me most was the other world in the film and the journeys that Yehia took." |- |style="text-align: left;"| — Marwan Hamed on what inspired him to make "The Blue Elephant" |} The movie is built around psychiatrist Dr. Yehia Rashed (Karim Abdel Aziz), who returns to his job 5 years after the death of his loving wife and daughter.

The object was to produce a person of high intelligence with superhuman reflexes and muscular coordination. He leads an unfulfilled life, despite having become rich and famous, including a career as a concert pianist. He lacks real companionship, and is certain that he is sterile and cannot have children. He is widely regarded as a playboy who has wasted his potential. Gold lives in America, in a world governed by the United Nations. Humanity has been under attack by an extraterrestrial race they know only as Exterminators, having never seen an individual. The conflict has resulted in one of the enemy ships crashing on the Moon. The sole survivor is a humanoid giant, who was brain-damaged due to lack of oxygen. Evidently the Exterminators are a race of giants. Compared to them, humans are about the size of a large insect. The Russians also have a genetic superman, Pavel Petrovna. He has built a capsule inside the giant's head, with the ability to control its body's movements from a keyboard while observing the world through one of the eyes. Petrovna himself is deformed, with arms and legs too short for his body. Only Gold has the ability to operate the controls. The plan is for Gold and Petrovna to be installed in the capsule inside the giant, and await rescue. The giant will taken back to his home world, allowing the humans to gain intelligence about their attackers. When Petrovna is killed in an accident on the Moon, the project has to go ahead with his assistant and lover, Marina Syerov, who initially despises Gold. Flashbacks in the narrative also tell of Gold's upbringing in a research facility, particularly his teenage years when he was found to be sterile despite his strong sexual appetites, and the emotional impact of that discovery. As the story progresses, Gold comes to appreciate the culture of the giants, as well as discovering that he is not sterile after all, his genetic makeup simply making him slower to mature than humans. Having fathered a child with Marina, he now has a different set of priorities in his life. ===== After Anastasia Steele leaves Christian Grey, he has nightmares about his abusive childhood. Meanwhile, Ana begins a new job as an assistant to Jack Hyde, an editor at Seattle Independent Publishing (SIP) whose previous three assistants all quit within the last 18 months. Ana unexpectedly runs into Christian at the opening of her friend Jose Rodriguez's photography exhibit. She is dismayed that Christian bought all of Jose's portraits of Ana. Christian wants Ana back and agrees to her no rules, no punishments, and no more secret terms. Christian also tells Ana that his birth mother was a crack-addicted prostitute. As Jack and Ana head for an after-work drink, Ana is approached on the street by a young woman resembling her. Christian arrives at the bar and acts coolly towards Jack, then quickly departs with Ana in tow. Ana dismisses Christian's warning about Jack's reputation. She is annoyed that Christian is considering buying SIP. Jack tells Ana he expects her to accompany him on a New York book expo trip, but after speaking with Christian, she agrees not to attend. Shortly after, Ana again notices the same woman observing her and Christian from a distance. Christian deflects Ana's inquiry about the woman's identity, but later admits she is Leila Williams, a former submissive. After their contract ended, Leila wanted more, but Christian ended the relationship. Leila married a man who later died, causing Leila to have a mental breakdown. She has been stalking Ana and Christian ever since. Prior to the Grey family's annual charity ball, Christian takes Ana to Escala, a beauty salon owned by Elena Lincoln. Elena, a family friend, is also Christian's former dominant who introduced him to the BDSM lifestyle by seducing him when he was younger. Ana is furious that Christian took her there and that Elena and Christian are business partners. At the ball, Christian's sister Mia mentions that her brother was expelled from four different schools for brawling. Christian tells Ana that his mother committed suicide. He was alone with her body for three days before being taken to the hospital where Grace Trevelyan Grey worked; she cared for and later adopted the young boy.

Ana, seeing Christian's need to be dominant, leaves, returning hours later. Christian is furious but Ana needs time to consider their relationship.

Christian later proposes but Ana needs time before accepting. Christian leaves on a business trip, piloting his own helicopter. An engine failure occurs over Mt. St. Helens, forcing him to ditch the craft in a heavily forested area. A massive search and rescue ensues. As Ana fearfully awaits news, Christian arrives home safely.

On his way, he comes across his sweetheart the girl coonhound (now having lighter fur) who is milking a cow. After they greet each other, Pooch sings the song A Great Big Bunch of You. Moments later, an old dog, who is the girl coonhound's employer, shows up and isn't happy to see him. The old dog hurls Pooch past the fences bordering the farmlands where he lands next to a sign saying "No tramps allowed." Still wanting to fit in, Pooch reenters the farmlands and comes to an outdoor dining table where a pack of farmers are eating. Pooch asks for some food but the farmers refuse to offer a piece. One of those who are dining is the old dog who shoos him away. While standing around back outside the fences, Pooch spots an anthropomorphic tornado coming. Pooch returns to the farmlands to warn everybody about the approaching storm. The farmers flee in various directions. Pooch, the girl coonhound, and the old dog take shelter in a shed which is a storage for explosives. The tornado knows about this before picking up and setting the shed ablaze. Pooch helps the girl coonhound and the old dog leave the small house first. As Pooch stays in the shed for a few more moments, he picks up a windmill's turbine which he uses as a propeller to redirect the shed to the tornado. He then notices the farmers showing up to rescue him as they hold a life net. With this, Pooch finally jumps to his safety. The tornado tries to avoid the shed but to no avail. And when the shed, at last, detonates, the tornado is completely neutralized. Back on the ground, the old dog is impressed with the heroic act of Pooch whom he now welcomes to the society. Pooch then continues to spend time with the girl coonhound. Pooch and the girl coonhound get themselves a house, a pickety fence, and a stroller full of puppies looking identical to the boy beagle from the Oswald cartoons. ===== Edwin Jarvis is attempting to pay off smugglers for delivering a shipping container to America for him, when they pull guns on him and demand a higher price. His secret ally, Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) agent Peggy Carter takes them out, and they take the container without paying. Inside the container is Jarvis's boss, federal fugitive Howard Stark, whose name Carter and Jarvis are attempting to clear without the knowledge of Carter's colleagues, who are hunting Stark after he apparently sold dangerous weapons to enemies of the United States. Carter and Jarvis had recently discovered the majority of these weapons are still in New York, but they are now in the possession of the SSR. With the SSR working far harder to catch Stark, now that they believe he is responsible for the death of one of their colleagues, Carter takes Stark back to her (women-only) apartment to hide. He gives her a camera pen of his own invention, which she uses to subtly photograph the weapons for him to study. SSR chief Roger Dooley, meanwhile, visits a Nazi colonel, Ernst Mueller, in a German prison, who has been sentenced to death the next day. Dooley offers Mueller a cyanide pill in exchange for information on the Battle of Finow, where the Germans supposedly massacred a battalion of Russians. Several of these Russians have been appearing alive in America and are seemingly involved in the Stark investigation. Mueller doesn't know anything about that, but he does explain that the massacre was not by German hand – when he and his soldiers arrived, the Russians had already been torn apart. While Dooley is away, Agent Thompson is in charge, and he is so focused on Stark that he pushes other things aside, like Agent Sousa, who wants to investigate the docks where the weapons were discovered. Sousa brings in a witness from the docks, a homeless war veteran, and attempts to get information from him, but in the end it is Thompson who gets the information out of him (a man and a woman had been at the docks the night that the weapons were discovered), doing so with contempt for Sousa's apparent need for respect. Stark, after studying Carter's photographs, points out one weapon that she must get back. Called the Blitzkrieg Button, it can take out the electrical grid for all of New York and beyond. Carter breaks into the SSR lab and swaps the real Blitzkrieg Button for a mock-up. Following her instincts, Carter turns it on, and rather than sending out an electromagnetic pulse, it opens to reveal a vial. Carter returns to her apartment and demands to know what's in the vial, with Stark reluctantly revealing that it is Steve Rogers' blood. Though he tries to convince Carter that he lied to her to protect her feelings, and that he only wanted the Super Soldier blood for medical purposes, she doesn't believe him, and kicks him out. She is also furious at Jarvis for not telling her the truth either, with the regretful Jarvis pointing out to his boss that what they did was wrong. Carter hides the Blitzkrieg Button in her apartment wall, while the head smuggler, Otto Mink, breaks into the building in an attempt to kill Carter for her part in his not getting paid for smuggling Stark into the country. However, before Mink can get to Carter, he comes across Carter's new neighbor, Dottie Underwood (apparently a small-town ballerina from Iowa), who takes an interest in Mink's automatic pistol, and swiftly kills him for it. Dooley returns from Germany to be met by Thompson, who has discovered that Stark had visited Finow following the massacre, possibly to clean up the mess. Dooley, with thoughts of a conspiracy on his mind, remains at the SSR after all the other agents have left. In his office, the typewriter that belonged to one of the "resurrected" Russians, receives a long-range transmission from Leviathan. ===== In 1937 Russia, young girls are trained as merciless assassins to infiltrate America. Each night they are hand cuffed to their beds, a practice that one such girl, "Dottie Underwood", still carries out in 1946 as she lives incognito as the new neighbor of Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) agent Peggy Carter. Before Carter leaves for work one morning, Underwood manages to steal the key to her apartment. At the SSR, a high level cryptographer is struggling to decode a message received on a confiscated Russian typewriter with a long-range transmitter. Carter uses her cryptography skills and knowledge of Russian to decode the message herself, and finds map coordinates leading to a Soviet military complex. The message suggests that at this complex Howard Stark, who the SSR have been hunting, will be selling weapons to Leviathan, which Chief Roger Dooley explains is a covert Russian organization. Dooley tasks Agents Thompson, Ramirez, and Li to meet up with a tactical unit and infiltrate the complex to cut off the exchange and arrest Stark for treason. Carter convinces Dooley to allow her to go if she can get the 107th Regiment to assist as their tactical unit, which she does, having fought with them as a friend during World War II. As they are preparing to leave, Thompson tricks Agent Sousa into walking in on Carter as she is dressing, creating an awkward and embarrassing moment for them both. Before he leaves her be, Sousa notices two bullet hole wounds on Carter's shoulder. Thompson, Carter, Ramirez, and Li fly to the Russian border where they meet up with several members of the 107th: Dum Dum Dugan, Happy Sam Sawyer, Junior Juniper, and Pinky Pinkerton, a group that Juniper has nicknamed the "Howling Commandos". On their way to the complex, Carter and Dugan share some bourbon (from her private stash) and reminisce about their war days, fighting alongside their friend (and Carter's great love) Steve Rogers, while also noting that they are most likely headed into a trap. Later, the whole group share war stories, and Carter convinces Thompson to tell them about how he earned the Navy Cross – he had fallen asleep on watch in the Pacific during the War, and had awoken to find Japanese soldiers filling the camp. He killed them all before there were any American casualties, and before some of his comrades had even woken up. Infiltrating the complex, the group finds the boarding school where Dottie was trained, and discover supposed children's films filled with subliminal messaging. They come across a lone young girl, who Dugan approaches. She at first seems innocent, but reveals that Carter and Dugan were indeed correct about this being a trap when she stabs Dugan in the chest and shoots Juniper dead, before escaping. Looking to escape oncoming Leviathan soldiers, the surviving members of the group carry on into the complex and come across a two prisoners: a brilliant engineer who has been tasked with creating weapons from Leviathan based on stolen Stark designs; and his psychiatrist, who attempts to keep him sane while he does it. The group continues, taking the prisoners with them, but they are all soon cornered by the soldiers, and Agent Li is killed in the firefight. The engineer, Nikola, tries to negotiate with the survivors, putting Sawyer's life on the line, so his psychiatrist, Dr. Ivchenko, kills him. Dugan blows a hole in the wall for the group to escape through, and Carter holds the enemy off to help the others escape when Thompson freezes up under fire. Back at the plane, the SSR agents and Howling Commandos part ways. Ivchenko decides to go with the agents back to America, willing to help them fight Leviathan in any way he can. On the flight home, Thompson explains why he froze up: fighting now makes him feel guilty because of what really happened in the War – the Japanese soldiers had been carrying a white flag, but Thompson noticed this after he had already killed them all. He buried the flag to hide what he had done, and his comrades believed him to be a hero. While Carter is gone, Underwood searches her room and comes across photographs of the Stark weapons that the SSR have confiscated. She takes one of the photographs with her, otherwise leaving the room exactly as she found it. Dooley meets with an old friend of his, a journalist who had investigated the Battle of Finow, as Dooley is doing, and too had discovered that the Russian soldiers were massacred before the Germans even arrived, and that Stark had been involved in some sort of cover up. Dooley learns that Stark had gotten into a fight with a General John McGuinness, but over what is unknown (Dooley approaches Stark's butler Edwin Jarvis for answers, but Jarvis tells him nothing), and McGuinness has recently died while Stark has broken ties with the military. Sousa meanwhile searches through photographs of a woman who has been interfering with the Stark investigation. Though her face is not captured, Sousa can see that she has the same two bullet holes on her shoulder, and realizes that Carter is most likely a traitor. ===== In France, Georges St. Germain finds himself in love with Eleanor Kent, a nice American.

The first part is set in the medium-sized town of Fenyang (in the northern Shanxi province) in 1999. 25-year-old shopkeeper Tao (Zhao Tao) is torn between two suitors. Jinsheng (Zhang Yi) is a well-off gas station owner whom she has little connection with but could drastically improve her material living conditions.

Tao is upset by Daole's distance, which she acknowledges is due to their cultural differences - a product of Jinsheng's fascination with globalization. Tao, knowing they are fated to be apart, decides to ride the slow train with Daole, instead of sending him on a plane back to Shanghai.

Frederica arrives at Churchill and, shortly thereafter, is followed by Sir James Martin, a man who is both very wealthy and very foolish. For example, upon arrival at Churchill, he explains that he struggled to find the estate as he had been looking for "church hill", a church and/or a hill. Later, he mentions the "Twelve Commandments" and when told there are only ten, he wonders which two should be disregarded. But he appears otherwise kind and a good man. Frederica confides in Reginald that she does not want to marry Sir James because he is 'silly', but she fears her mother's determination to marry her off. He is surprised and tackles Lady Susan. This leads to him deciding to leave. However, Lady Susan wins him over, then plots to punish him for his disloyalty. When both Lady Susan and Reginald are in London she seeks to delay their marriage because, she says, society does not yet approve of them (presumably because she is much older than him). Reluctantly, he departs. Then, Lady Susan's relationship with Lord Manwaring is exposed when Lady Manwaring discovers the lovers are meeting in private, under cover of her friend Mrs Johnson. Lady Manwaring appeals to her guardian, Mr Johnson, to confront them. Reginald arrives with a letter from Lady Susan to Mrs Johnson, and overhears Lady Manwaring crying. She emerges with Mr Johnson, who says he cannot help her, and in desperation she snatches the letter Mrs Johnson holds, recognising the hand-writing. She insists her husband is with Lady Susan, but Reginald claims he has just left her and she is 'completely alone' for even the servants have been dismissed. Lady Manwaring views this with suspicion and demands a nearby footman tell her what he saw at the house. He says, after Reginald and the servants left, he saw Lord Manwaring arrive and enter the house. Lady Manwaring now reads the letter which reveals Lady Susan asking her friend Mrs Johnson to welcome Reginald into her house and 'keep him there all evening if you can, Manwaring comes this very hour'! Reginald departs in anger and Mr Johnson berates his wife's involvement with Lady Susan (who later says of him, he is 'too old to be governable and too young to die'). Narrowly missing a departing Lord Manwaring, a distressed Reginald confronts Lady Susan, who turns the tables on him and says they cannot be married after all as he doubts her word and cannot trust her. Reginald returns to his sister's home, Lady Susan marries Sir James, and Reginald falls in love with Frederica, and the two are also soon married. Effectively, the two women have switched beaus. Later, Sir James confides to Mrs. Johnson his joy at the prospect of becoming a father, having been informed on the day after his marriage that his new wife was with child. Sir James goes on to speak fondly of his newfound friend and long-term house- guest, Lord Manwaring, who was invited to stay by Lady Susan, and with whom he shares a love of hunting. ===== In the prologue, set in March 1810, the heroine, Miranda Cheever, is ten years old.

To distract herself from the mystery, she offered to take Bay's place in the races. When she was at the swimming lanes, Rio met her siren aunt, Maire, whom she had not seen since her mother's funeral. Maire had heard Rio speak at the ceremony, and wanted to help her go Above. Rio ran away to avoid her aunt. She was engulfed in the memories of her late mother, Oceana, who was the temple Minister. As she wept, she met True Beck, a boy whose best friend had also left mysteriously for the Above. True insisted they help each other solve the enigma of Bay and Fen's departure to the Above. Rio rejected, and when she changed her mind, True was gone. The next day, the current Minister, Nevio, wanted to talk to Rio. Nevio insisted that the temple was never where Rio belonged, and whisked her off to the mining bays, where he claimed was the place for her to best be. When Rio finished her shift at the mining bay the next day, Maire found her outside the temple. Maire led her to the floodgates, where dead bodies were sent up onto the surface Above. Rio realized she could not go Above the way Bay did, but she could go through the floodgates, the way her mother did. Maire gave her a seashell, in which she could ask questions and Maire would answer. After her encounter with Maire, Rio went to the swimming lanes. She had new purposes for racing: to grow strong enough to go through the floodgates and to earn enough money to buy a pressurized air tank. Unfortunately, Rio could not race like Bay did. Rio decided to swim against herself. She swam while wearing her machinist's work suit from the mining bays. After swimming, Rio went to the deep market to search for True, who sold moving, metal fish. She told him she changed her mind about working together and was inspired to entertain the bettors at the swimming lanes by dodging the fish. Nevio the Minister gave his sermon after the deep market closed early, in which Rio discovered his secret identity as a siren. One day, when Rio was promoted, Maire found Rio after work. Rio discovered her ability to command non-living objects using her siren voice — an ability only she and Maire had. In a later discussion at Maire's apartment, Rio learned why the sirens were hated — two sirens were arguing in the temple, and a few worshippers died while they argued. The pair of sirens were sisters, and there had never been two sirens in a family until Rio was born. The next day, True gave Rio money so she would not have to swim in the lanes, thinking Rio wanted to buy back her mother's ring. Rio disagreed, but accepted the money. When she was back in her room, she talked to Maire through the seashell. Maire told her that the Council poisoned her mother because she knew too much. A breach drill was announced at work. Rio forgot her air mask, which she was supposed to carry all day. After a while, a siren voice over the loudspeakers told her this was a real breach. As the minutes passed, no water rushed in. The breach in the deep market had been sealed off. There were no survivors.True revealed that he also heard Rio speak with her siren voice on the day of the Divide. The next day, it was announced that group burials would be held, since the death toll was too high. Rio took this as a chance to go Above through the floodgates. However, she failed. The water was lowered, and she was caught. Maire met Rio in her holding cell. She signalled for her to tell the public about her identity as a siren. Maire wanted Rio to help the Below. When Nevio entered the room, Rio decided to listen to Maire. She spoke using her real voice, knowing it was the only way to go Above. Rio was permitted to go Above with the other sirens. Maire gave Rio a letter from Bay. Bay explained the reason she went Above: Sirens could not survive long Above. She left to keep Rio safe. True was escorted into the transport just before it began to ascend. True revealed that he was not a siren, but he could tell when a siren is lying. When Rio was Above, Maire told her how to escape. The sirens sang in harmony. The sirens were shot down one by one. Maire gave Rio a seashell with her mother's voice and gestured for her and True to escape. Rio and True swam to the temple of the Above. Rio met Bay, Fen (True's best friend), and Ciro, the Above Minister. Bay told her about the miserable life Above for the people Below. The next morning, Ciro entered the storage room True and Rio was hiding in. He confirmed the death of all the other sirens and told them about a showing of the sirens being held by Nevio and the Below Council. Rio decided to speak, too, at the viewing, despite the risk. Bay would descend Below with True and talk to the people there. Rio woke up in the afternoon. Someone tried to unlock the door to the storage room. Bay and Fen hid in the back closet and locked it from the inside. Nevio and an Above Council member arrived. The temple bats were brought Above and into the storage room. Nevio opened the closet and dumped a dead Ciro and temple bat inside. Rio made herself seen by Nevio. She spoke to the people Above. She was weakened by the Above, but when she was about to pass out, one of the bats came. Rio realized that the bats could provide her strength. She talked about Atlantia and the need to save the city. Hundreds of temple bats soared past Nevio to land on Rio. As the bats flew away, Rio felt the strength leave her. When Rio woke up again, she was in the transport, going Below. Her speech worked. However, Rio has sacrificed her siren voice to the Above. Later, Rio is with Bay, and notices that her siren voice is present again, one that she is no longer afraid of ===== In 1981, Kenny Wells helps to run a prospecting company, Washoe, with his father whom he clearly admires. But seven years after his father dies, the business and Kenny are nearly broke after having lost the office, so Kenny and his colleagues now work from his girlfriend's bar. Kenny, now living with his girlfriend, Kay, has a dream that leads him to Indonesia where he meets up with geologist Michael Acosta. Both are struggling financially, but Kenny manages to convince Mike to go into business to acquire a gold prospect. Kenny then flies back to America and raises the promised money to finance their venture. Unfortunately, the exploration program struggles and fails to show any gold, so the workers soon leave until Mike persuades them to come back with the promise of freshwater. Kenny contracts malaria and is bed-ridden for the next few weeks. When he finally wakes up, Mike reveals that they have had a strike and now have a huge gold deposit. After celebrating, Kenny goes back to America where he sets up a new office for Washoe and is approached by a major Wall Street bank. Mike accompanies Kenny to their meeting and, after a disagreement, decides to bring some of the bank associates to Indonesia in order to show them the mine. This wins the bank over and it invests $20 million in Washoe, leading the venture to become a public company. Washoe proves to be a huge success and increases 70 points in its first day on the stock market. Kenny's life becomes celebratory as he goes from one party to the next, but Kay, fearing that he will be tricked and cut out, argues with him and then leaves after seeing him flirting with another woman, Rachael Hill. He is interrupted by Mark Hancock, a high-profile executive of a major mining company, who approaches him regarding buying the company. Kenny meets with him the next day and is offered $300 million for a portion of the mine, but his company's name would be removed. Offended by this, Kenny declines the offer and storms out. The next day on his way into the office Mike phones to tell Kenny that the Indonesian Government has closed the mine; it is also revealed that a previous US President sits on the board in Hancock's company and that he is a friend of the Indonesian president Suharto. Kenny is disconsolate and seems to be defeated, but Mike flies to the US and offers a plan to win their mine back. They manage to convince the president's son to join them in business after Kenny proves himself by stroking a tiger. The mine is reopened with Washoe receiving 15% of what now is a $30 billion business. Kenny thinks of going back to Kay but, seeing her flirting with another man at her new job, decides against it. Kenny is then told that he has been honored with a golden pickaxe, the greatest prize for a prospector. The evening of the presentation comes, and he goes with Mike, who walks out during Kenny's speech. The next day something has gone wrong as Kenny drives to his office and has to push his way through an angry crowd of people. It is then announced that Mike had faked the whole mine as he planted gold in the samples using a method called 'salting'. The gold that he planted was in fact 'river gold' that had been seen earlier in the film. Mike had traded freshwater for the people's river gold so that he could fake the gold mine. Mike is reported to have fled. Kenny is then questioned by the FBI. He retells his story from a chair in his hotel room that he now cannot afford. The FBI agents seem to believe him and state that Mike was later captured by the Indonesian authorities while on the run and then possibly forced to jump out of a helicopter, some 1000 feet above the jungle. The corpse had its hands and face chewed clean off by wild animals, so Acosta's death is never proven. The agents also say that both the Indonesian minister and Mike dumped their stocks before the scandal broke and that Mike possessed 164 million US Dollars when he fled. Kenny returns to Kay's house where he apologizes and later looks through his mail received since they have been apart. He opens one envelope and finds the napkin Mike and he signed as a contract, reading "50–50". Beneath the napkin is a deposit slip for $82 million to First Bank of Gibraltar, Queens Lane Branch, United Kingdom. ===== This gay romance-horror tells a story of a bullied teenager Tam (Atthaphan Phunsawat) who befriends and has a sexual relationship with a mysterious gay boy Phum (Oabnithi Wiwattanawarang) at a haunted abandoned pool.

They take on the Wild Cats, a team which is composed entirely of cats. Just before the start of the game, Pooch is spending time with his girlfriend, Poodles Hound (now wearing a beret with a cottonball of top) as she sits in the stands. A Wild Cats player comes by, pushes Pooch aside, and tries to impress Poodles with his large chest.

When the United Nations is disbanded and a united military front, the USDF (United Space Defense Force), replaces it, the aliens are driven off Earth, though thousands of their troops are left behind. A series of defensive satellites is thought to protect Earth from a second invasion. In 2033, two embedded journalists accompany reinforcements to a demilitarised zone between Pakistan and Afghanistan where Outpost 37, one of the last USDF outposts, is located. After a period of hazing, the reinforcements settle into life at the outpost. Local villagers assault the outpost, and a soldier explains they had no problems until recently, when he believes that the continued violation of their sovereignty has soured relations. Although the soldiers are victorious over the villagers, one soldier is wounded and sent off to recuperate. Their requests for supplies are denied, but they receive a replacement for the wounded soldier in the form of Hans, a German national who volunteers to serve with the mostly American group. Later, Saleem, a local who is very loyal to Outpost 37 after they rescued him, reports that villagers have complained of animal mutilations. The captain sends several soldiers back with Saleem to determine the cause. An angry villager says mortar fire killed his animals, but the soldiers deny this. As Saleem translates for them, a seemingly dazed villager approaches despite the warnings. He explodes when the herder speaks to him. From a hill above them, a Heavy opens fire, and the soldiers fall back. Saleem notices that North, one of the soldiers, is missing, and they mount an unsuccessful search. Video evidence from North's recovered helmet reveals that he was abducted by the Heavies. Concerned that the Heavies have changed their tactics to include ambushes and abductions, the captain leaves the base to discuss the situation with his superiors. He orders them not to leave the base under any circumstances. A private military contractor approaches the base and claims jurisdiction, and the soldiers are forced to back down when their orders confirm this. Unable to mount their own rescue mission, they deploy a drone and, during routine reconnaissance, discover that Saleem is in danger. They violate their orders to save him and take a Heavy prisoner in the process. The captain is furious when he returns; he kills the Heavy and demands they cease their attempts to save North, an action that violates orders. Saleem volunteers to help. When he visits the base, Saleem seems dazed and uncommunicative. He opens fire on the soldiers and kills one before the captain kills him. In interviews, the soldiers express shock that Saleem would betray them. Omohundro, the medic, discovers an incision at the back of Saleem's head. To find answers, the soldiers leave for Saleem's village. There, they discover North, near-unconscious and wounded. They take him back to the base, where he falls into a coma. One of the soldiers recognises his rhythmic blinking as a code, and they translate it as a series of coordinates. When they attempt to question North, he wakes and chokes the captain, hysterically demanding that the captain kill him; he does. Omohundro discovers an incision at the back of his head and recovers an implant, which he suspects may have been a mind control device. During the next attack by insurrectionists, Omohundro examines their heads to also find incisions. Overwhelmed, the soldiers abandon Outpost 37 and blow it up. In violation of orders, the soldiers investigate the coordinates. There, they find an alien structure. Several soldiers fall back into the structure under fire from mind- controlled locals and Heavies, where they discover the contractors and several missing villagers. Although several soldiers and one of the journalists are killed, they destroy the structure and free the villagers from the effects of mind-control. The remaining journalist reveals that the structure was designed to defeat the USDF satellite system and allow resupply of the Heavies. For foiling this plan, the soldiers are given commendations, but the journalist expresses doubt that their sacrifices will ever be understood by the apathetic public. A short scene after the credits shows many of the survivors of Outpost 37 at a later time with advanced prosthetics as they engage in an all out fight against a second invasion. ===== A bomb attack takes place at Gare d'Austerlitz in Paris, killing several people a few days before the presidential election.

Hansman, sends a telegram telling him to return to Terra immediately. Finding that he automatically has all of the necessary permissions from the Terrestrial Space Navy, he goes to Red Sands Spaceport, where he boards the Space Ship Fafnir for his journey home. On the ship he finds that Don Salter, a classmate from Schiaparelli, is also going to Terra on mysterious orders. Together the two young men help prepare SS Fafnir for launch and then help around the ship on the long flight to Terra. Finally the ship lands at Peak City Spaceport, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, and the men find their fathers waiting for them. Taken to a small, closed-off spaceport, Walt and Don are told that they are to participate in the construction and flight of humanity's first interstellar spaceship, one equipped with a space-warping hyperdrive. After extensive physical and psychological testing, Don is assigned to work on the starship's propulsion and Walt is to help develop the control circuits. When the ship is complete and ready for flight, she is christened with the name of Magellan's ship, Vittoria, and prepared for a trial run to Pluto. Under inertial drive Vittoria rises into space and accelerates to a speed close to the speed of light. The crew then engages the "high drive", which pushes the ship into hyperspace, enabling the ship, in essence, to fly faster than light. At the research station on Pluto the crew takes some R&R; and makes needed repairs to the ship, then they take Vittoria back to Earth, putting her into orbit near the space station Asgard. After the crew makes more extensive repairs and upgrades the ship, after loading aboard more provisions and additional crew members, Vittoria heads back out into space and sets course for Alpha Centauri. When the ship arrives at that destination the crew discovers that the second planet of Alpha Centauri A is Earth-like. Bringing Vittoria down on that planet obliges Walt and Don to take one of the ship's small rocket shuttles down to the surface and set up a landing radar. As Vittoria lands on what Walt and Don have named New Terra, the two men see two perfectly human-looking natives also watching the ship. Walt makes initial contact and finds that the natives, who call themselves Ainsath, are friendly and eager to talk. Though primitive-looking, the Ainsath are highly civilized, but, where Terrans built their engineering expertise mostly on physics, the Ainsath have done so on chemistry and biology. Later the ship's doctor discovers that the Ainsath are not native to New Terra: as far as he can tell, they are biologically identical to the Terrans. One day Walt and Don are taken alone to the nearby Ainsath city and led to an old woman, who reads from a book that mimics Genesis up to the Tower of Babel and then deviates from it. The Ainsath are Terrans, displaced millennia ago. Vittoria returns to Terra with two of the Ainsath as passengers. After receiving a noisy reception at Peak City Spaceport, Walt, now Starman Hansman, is ready to head back out to the stars. ===== The novel opens in 1825 London, at the annual Smythe-Smith musicale. After seeing Iris Smythe-Smith perform, Sir Richard Kenworthy finagles an introduction and begins a flirtation. After only a week's courtship, he proposes. Although she likes him, Iris is unused to attention from men and is slightly suspicious of his haste. She asks for more time to decide. The reader is informed that Sir Richard needs wife immediately. He maneuvers Iris into a compromising position, knowing her family will force them to marry to save her reputation. Iris is fairly upset. She wanted to marry Richard, but she neither understands nor approves of his attempt to coerce her into the agreement. After the wedding, Sir Richard uses a series of excuses to postpone consummating the marriage, to Iris's dismay. Once the couple arrive at Richard's home in Yorkshire, he begins to court her again. The author makes it clear that Richard has come to care for Iris, that he feels guilty for manipulating her, but that his courtship is designed to make her fall in love with him so that she will not leave when she discovers his secret. As the novel progresses, Iris becomes increasingly confused, as it is obvious that something is amiss but no one will tell her what. Eventually, Iris discovers that Sir Richard's eldest sister Fleur is pregnant, and he intends to pass her child off as theirs, thus saving Fleur's reputation. Although initially horrified by the plan, Iris eventually agrees to participate. The plan is nullified when Iris learns that Fleur has an additional secret; that knowledge allows Iris to find a solution to the situation that makes all of the characters happy. ===== In the small town of Little Pifflington, Lord Augustus Highcastle tells his secretary Horatio Beamish that the war is a very serious matter, especially as he has three German brothers-in-law. He soon learns that a female spy is after an important document in his possession. A glamorous woman visits him. After flattering him by saying how important he is, she tells him that she suspects her sister-in-law of being the spy. She explains that Augustus' brother, known as "Blueloo", has made a bet that Augustus can be easily tricked, and intends to use this woman to prove it.

He is the Archdeacon; he has told her to take a job as a lady's maid, meet another millionaire, and marry back into money. In a hotel sitting room the Princess is met by the hotel manager. Ermyntrude, now dressed very plainly gets the job as her lady's maid. Captain Duval, a messenger from the "Inca of Perusalem" appears with news that Inca wants one of his sons to marry the Princess. Ermyntrude realises that the messenger is in fact the Inca in disguise. She offers to return the trick, by pretending to be the Princess to find out what his intentions are. The Princess, who is very timid, agrees to let Ermyntrude take charge. Ermyntrude receives the "captain" with an air of great superiority. She is given a gift of a jewel, designed by the Inca, but she is horrified by its size. The Inca is impressed by the "Princess"'s grand manner and reveals his true identity. However, he says that he recognises Ermyntrude. He knows she is the Archdeacon's daughter, not the Princess. But she is so convincing as a princess that now he wishes to marry her himself. Unfortunately he already has a wife, so he suggests they should to convert to Islam so he can legally have another one. Ermyntrude says the Inca is far too poor for her, since his country is going bankrupt because of its foolish war. The Inca says that the war will result in his overthrow and the creation of a republic, but this will not be a problem as he will be elected as "super- president" of the republic. He then says how surprised he is by the popularity of the war in his homeland. He used to rely for popularity on his contributions to art, literature and science, but he was ignored. Now the mass killing in the war leads to cheering crowds. Despite being turned down for marriage, the Inca offers to take Ermyntrude on a drive round the town. She accepts, but emphasises that she will "refuse any incorrect proposals" he makes to her. ===== The heroine of the novel, Cordelia O'Keefe, wants adventure, and she convinces her grandfather to provide the funds for her to search for the Mayan "gift of the jaguar".

Local woman Susanna Finch has turned the village into a retreat for young ladies who do not quite fit into society. Men are, for the most part, not welcome, so that the ladies can be free to be themselves. Their quiet haven is disrupted with the arrival of the novel's hero, Lieutenant Colonel Victor "Bram" Bramwell. As the new Earl of Rycliff, Bram has inherited a rundown castle on the edge of the village. As rumors fly that Napoleon might invade England, Bram has been assigned to journey to Spindle Cove and organize the local men into a militia. The assignment is important to Bram; he had been injured in battle and wants to prove that he is capable of returning to his command. Susanna is adamantly opposed to changes in how the town operates, leading to a battle of wits between the protagonists. ===== When Littleton Looney, a crane driver, inherits $18,000 from his uncle, he decides to fulfill his dream and go to Europe (he is a great admirer of Napoleon). His ex-boss, Hopkins, and a couple of Hopkins' cronies decide to pull a prank on him; they send telegrams (supposedly from John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford and others) to the captain of the luxury liner that Looney takes, asking that Looney be treated well. On the ship before it departs, one of the pranksters convince Senator Powell, another passenger, that Looney is Vanderhoff, a famous engineer, traveling incognito. Also aboard is Ellen Saunders. She has 90 days to put some nickel mines in Macedonia into operation, despite not knowing anything about mining, otherwise she will lose them to a syndicate represented by her guardian, banker Sidney Hycross. She rejects his lowball offer for property worth "over a million." When she finds out that a noted engineer is aboard, she learns from the senator that it is Looney. Soon the senator has spread the news all over the ship. When Hycross hears it, he assigns Nick Pangalos the task of keeping Ellen away from Looney. Hycross is pleased to receive a coded telegram informing him that the machinery Ellen needs has been stranded (at his orders) hundreds of miles from the mines. Ellen gets the same news and decides to consult Looney. Looney is only too happy to help however he can, and a romance develops between them. Meanwhile, he is pursued by a gold digger named Flo Goodrich, while her friend Dolly Clark targets Hycross. Hycross, suspicious of Looney's alleged identity, goads Ellen into a bet: if Looney is not Vanderhoff, she will accept his deal and sign over the mines. Hycross sends a telegram to the Syracuse chamber of commerce. Hopkins, the organization's secretary, responds with a glowing recommendation, stating "he occupies a unique position in the engineering world". However, Hycross remains unconvinced. In Macedonia, he arranges for real engineers working on the mine problem to meet (and expose) Looney. The machinery cannot be transported to the mines until the September rains raise the level of a river. That would be too late. Looney finally confesses to Ellen that he is not an engineer. Upset, she tells Hycross she will sign his agreement. However, when a persistent engineer pleads with Looney, still believing he is the builder of the New Erie Canal, to think some more, Looney tells him, "Oh, dry up. Damn the canal." That suddenly gives him an idea. He tells the engineers to dam the river. The river bed is composed of slate, which will make a usable road for the stranded machinery. Impressed, "Senator Powell", who is really Vanderhoff, decides to hire Looney; the syndicate hired him to check up on Hycross. Looney ends up with Ellen and a job as consulting engineer at her mines. ===== ===== Eighteen months prior to the start of the show, the Israeli soldier Doron and his unit were credited with killing the terrorist Taufiq Hammed. Following this, Doron retires from service in order to grow a vineyard. At the beginning of season 1 Doron is visited by Moreno, the commander of his old unit, who informs him that Taufiq Hammed is still alive and plans to attend his brother Bashir's wedding. Doron rejoins his team in order to go undercover at the wedding. Ultimately they are discovered and Bashir is killed, moments before Taufiq is to arrive. Although Doron is able to shoot Taufiq, and injures him, Taufiq escapes. Taufiq barely survives the gunshot wound and is forced to have secret emergency surgery so as to not reveal that he is alive or where he is. Doron convinces Moreno to allow him to stay on with the unit until they catch Taufiq. Bashir's family all mourn him as a shahid (martyr) and his wife, Amal, vows revenge. Taufiq's right-hand man, Walid, convinces his cousin Shirin to help Taufiq escape from the hospital minutes before Doron's team arrives. Amal, distraught over Bashir's death, volunteers to bomb a nightclub which Boaz, Doron's brother-in-law and a member of his unit, frequents. This will ensure that the Israelis get the message that it is revenge on Boaz for the killing of Bashir. The plan is for Amal to arm the bomb in her purse and then leave the club three minutes before its detonation. However, Amal decides to stay and die in the explosion. Boaz regains consciousness following the blast and finds his girlfriend's body. Boaz does not handle the discovery well, and after getting pulled over, physically assaults the police and ends up in jail. While on a mission, Boaz gets captured and is held hostage by Hamas. Doron and his team decide to prepare an unapproved mission to kidnap Taufiq's friend Sheikh Awadalla in an attempt to get Boaz back. When Doron finds out that Taufiq had a bomb implanted inside of Boaz, the team kidnap Taufiq's daughter to use as additional leverage. Ultimately Boaz and the Sheikh both get blown up, and Taufiq's daughter gets badly injured. Doron, still undercover, interviews for a position to be a shahid for Taufiq, a role which he ultimately gets recruited for. Taufiq reveals his plan to Walid: they received sarin nerve gas that will be detonated in the synagogue, which will cause Israel to retaliate with force, committing war crimes and forcing other Islamic states to respond. Walid eventually discovers Doron's true identity and orders Doron to be killed, however the rest of the unit shows up just in time to kill everyone who was watching him. Walid shows the proof to Taufiq and then shoots him in the back of the head. ===== ===== As described with colorful language in a film magazine, Mary Lee (Adams), at the age of seven, is told the truth about life by her mother.

Vera's mother sends her off to New York City with instructions to make a money marriage. Mary also goes to New York City to work in a hospital and becomes acquainted with Dr. Bell, who falls in love with her. They rescue Vera from a drunken companion on one occasion, but are unable to prevent her from accepting the unlawful love of the same wealthy young man later on. When she develops a loathsome disease, they ensure that she receives proper medical care. Dr. Bell and Mary go to France for the war in the medical service. Paul Horton previously had made a disgraceful proposition to Mary, and she now accepts Dr. Bell's proposal of marriage. There are numerous subplots involving other characters in the film. ===== Elle is a lesbian poet coping with the recent death of her long-term life partner. She ends a four-month relationship with a younger admirer, Olivia, telling her their relationship meant nothing, before receiving a visit from her 18-year-old granddaughter Sage. Sage is pregnant and requests $630 for an abortion, which is scheduled for that afternoon. As Elle is broke and Sage has had her credit card confiscated by her overbearing mother, the two embark on a road trip across Los Angeles to try and come up with the money. Elle forcefully extorts $50 from the father of the child, and then tries to call in a $400 debt from her friend Deathy, a tattoo artist. Because she is also broke at the time, Deathy cannot help them beyond some $60 she borrows from the register, but gives Elle a new tattoo that looks like the letter "O". Sage presumes this to be Olivia's initial, though Elle insists it is only meant to be a circle. Elle tries to sell some of her rare books to an acquaintance, Carla, who owns a café, but gets into a fight with Olivia, who is working there. Elle storms out when Carla, who is much more tech-savvy than Elle, gauges the price of the books on eBay and offers her a paltry $60, and Olivia berates her as they leave. Becoming desperate, Elle and Sage visit Elle's ex-husband Karl, whom Elle has not seen in decades. She tells him she needs to borrow the money for rent, and he requests a kiss in return. This leads to an argument over how Elle ended their relationship, but when she pleads with him, he agrees to hand over the cash. When he asks her to be honest about the reason for needing the money, she tells him that Sage needs an abortion, and Karl becomes angry and emotional. Elle once aborted his child without telling him, yet went on to give birth to a baby born from a one-night stand. She explains that she wanted a child but not a husband, and Karl angrily insists he will not pay for an abortion. Sage and Elle work up the courage to visit Sage's busy single mother, Judy, who is furious to learn Sage is pregnant. Judy reluctantly produces the money and Elle drives Sage to the abortion clinic. After the procedure, Judy forgives Sage and takes her home. On her own way home, Elle giggles and rejoices at memories of her partner Violet. Before reaching home, she makes a short stop at Olivia's house to apologize for saying their relationship meant nothing. Afterwards, Elle walks down the sidewalk, laughing on her way home. ===== Muslim immigrants seized power in Western Europe. Sharia becomes the law of the land, Catholic churches are destroyed and desecrated. Frenchmen who did not convert to Islam are shut in ghettoes. The Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral is turned into the Al-Frankoni Mosque. The Catholic Church, which by the beginning of the Muslim expansion turned into a "parody of itself", collapses. Only the traditionalist Catholics from the Society of St. Pius X remain and return to the catacombs. The outnumbered members of the Resistance - the maquis - continue to fight. The protagonists of the novel blame the downfall of Europe on liberalism, atheism, tolerance, and the fall of the authority and hollowing out of the Catholic Church through the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. Even though the maquis understand that their resistance will not change anything, their motto is to "die standing". After they find out about impending bloody liquidation of the non-Muslim ghettoes, they join forces with the last remaining Catholics to take over Notre Dame.Мечеть Парижской Богоматери. — «Вече», «Грифъ», 2012. — , . Published in Russian in 2005 (two editions), 2006, 2011, 2012. ===== ===== ===== The book is set in Uganda, in the 1970s and '80s. The book follows the life of narrator Mugezi Muwaabi, as he plots his own independence from his parents and capitalizes on his considerable natural resources of charm and intelligence. A grandfather, a father and his son are the three figures that form a tripod from which the novel is set. Grandpa represents the traditional order, his son Serenity the chaos of transition, and Mugezi the despair of a younger generation over the dead end of transition and its own prospects. Rootless and bitter, Mugezi flees to Europe from Uganda. The first part of the book centres on Mugezi, a young man growing up in post-colonial Uganda. Born in 1961, a year before Uganda attained independence, Mugenzi describes a troubled childhood living under the tyranny and strict rules of his parents. The family moves to Kampala, the nation's capital about the time Idi Amin comes to power in 1971. In the second half of the book Mugezi is excited about the country's prospects under Idi Amin, following the ouster of Milton Obote and his corrupt government. Soon, however, Amin's regime descends to the depths of brutality and mismanagement – starting with a botched "Africanization" campaign that leads to the expulsion of thousands of Asian businessmen. ===== Dev, though a self-proclaimed wise man finds comfort in being a loser, having given up on life as a result of a love gone wrong.

Love blooms in an idyllic setting, bringing Dev out of his self-imposed funk and Dev finds a new reason to live. A terrible misunderstanding pushes him into taking drastic measures. Much is at stake as the yearly bloom is round the corner. And Dev is confronted with his past, present and future – all at once. ===== As described in a film magazine, Carroll (Borzage), an American sailor, is shipwrecked on the coast of Japan, and is befriended by a Japanese prince. As Americans are banned from the country, he is sentenced to being tortured but Iku, his prosecutor, is killed. Iku dies cursing Carroll, who escapes with Iku's sister, Omi San (Aoki). Fifty years later Iku the third is sent to America to learn its customs. He falls in love with Virginia Stafford and, learning that she is the fiancé of Allan Carroll III (Borzage) and remembering his ancestor's band of hate, he kidnaps Virginia, takes her to Japan and marries her according to Japanese custom. Carroll comes to Japan and locates Virginia. A terrible struggle ensues in which Iku meets his death and Virginia is rescued. With the death of Iku, the curse is lifted. ===== As described in a film magazine, Yukio is a Japanese-American whose father, a naval officer, failed to return to his mother after the honeymoon. The mother commits harakiri and the son becomes determined to kill his father and goes to America. Influenced by a female German spy, Yukio steals an important document from his father, who is now an admiral. Rebuffed by the woman and ashamed to have sunk to the level of a thief, he then decides to recover the paper. He does so after a desperate battle with the woman's colleagues and returns the document to his father, who descends upon the place with police and captures the spies. Yukio announces that he came to take his father's life, but the admiral tells him that he loved Yukio's mother and did not return to her as he could not find her. Taking his place as the admiral's son, Yukio is now determined to join the U.S. army and fight in World War I, a cause in which Japan and America are united. ===== As described in a film magazine, the skill of colorful Japanese artist Yamo Masata (Hayakawa), who lives in the hills of California, attracts the attention of a clever counterfeiter who seeks the artist's aid in the preparation of spurious bonds. At first deceived, the artist becomes indignant when he learns the truth of the enterprise, and shows the man the door. The artist's sister, O Haru San (Aoki), who is newly arrived in America and is searching for the American husband who deserted her, identifies the stranger as her spouse. He seeks to escape but in the encounter that follows both the counterfeiter and the sister meet death. In time, the artist is taken up by society and becomes wealthy and famous. Then he discovers that his chief patroness Doris Furthman (Percy), a lady he has come to love, is the bigamous widow of the man the artist murdered. The lady's brother accuses the artist of evil designs and learns the truth about the murder. When the artist demands proof regarding the accusation, he discovers that the evidence will blast the life of the woman he has come to love, so the artist destroys the evidence and prepares to go to trial. ===== The UN forms the Planetary Defense Council (PDC) to coordinate defensive efforts against the impending assault of the Trisolarans, whose fleet is 421 years away. However, the subatomic computers sent from Trisolaris, known as sophons, have already reached the Earth, and are able to conduct surveillance of national secrets and private conversations, and to disrupt the operation of particle accelerators, the latter serving to obstruct any new discoveries in physics. Since the sophons cannot read minds, the PDC decides that, in addition to regular military expansion, there will be four people appointed as Wallfacers, to be granted access to the resources of the UN to develop grand strategies known only to themselves. Three of them are chosen on the basis of merit: Frederick Tyler, former secretary of defense of the USA; Manuel Rey Diaz, former president of Venezuela, also a nuclear engineer; and Bill Hines, former president of the EU, also a neuroscientist. To general surprise, the fourth Wallfacer is announced to be Luo Ji, an obscure Chinese professor of sociology who is lazy and un-ambitious. Later it is revealed that Luo was chosen because Trisolaris had, for unknown reasons, seen him as a threat, and ordered the Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO) to assasinate him. Trisolaris appoints three ETO members to be Wallbreakers. They are to spy on Tyler, Diaz, and Hines respectively, to discover and ruin their strategies. Meanwhile, a PLAN officer, Zhang Beihai, is inducted into China's new Space Force, where he displays an unwavering hope of victory, and blames the other officers for their Defeatism. Zhang secretly murders some scientists advocating chemical propulsion, so that research into fusion-drive receives priority. His proposal to enter hibernation for the purpose of fighting Defeatism among future generations is approved. Tyler designs a swarm of small, nuclear-equipped Kamikaze space-fighters, but his secret plan to work with the ETO to double- cross Earth's forces, and subsequently to triple-cross the Trisolarians, is published by his Wallbreaker. The nations of the world denounce him as a war criminal, driving him to suicide. Diaz requests funding for massive nuclear warheads, and has one successfully detonated on Mercury, but his secret plan is exposed by his own Wallbreaker, namely, to build a nuclear mechanism which can propel Mercury into the sun, leading the sun to explode and consume the rest of the solar system. At the next PDC hearing, the USA decides to violate Diaz's diplomatic immunity and arrest him, but Diaz escapes by pretending that he holds a dead man's switch which can destroy NYC. Upon returning to Venezuela, he is reviled by the populace as a war-criminal, and killed by an angry mob. Hines conducts experiments to amplify intelligence, in the process discovering a means of implanting beliefs. The UN allows soldiers to use Hines's device to implant faith in victory against Trisolaris, as a controversial means of curbing Defeatism, but the program is later terminated, being seen as a crime against humanity. Luo refuses to work, and uses his funding to live a comfortable life, and to find an ideal woman to marry. However, he comes to realize some truths about galactic civilizations based on a conversation which he had many years ago with his former teacher, Ye Wenjie, who was later imprisoned for founding the ETO. Accordingly, Luo arranges for the location of a star 50 light-years away to be broadcast throughout the galaxy, using the sun as an amplifier. Both Luo and Hines enter hiberation. Around this time, an observatory notices through the tracking of space dust that the Trisolaran fleet has launched swift probes that will reach Earth in merely 200 years. Luo, Hines, and the wife of Hines wake up 200 years later to a wealthier and more advanced society, albeit without improvement in particle- physics and supercomputing due to the ongoing sophon sabotage. The Earth now has thousands of spaceships which are both larger and faster than Trisolaris' one thousand ships. The ETO has been eliminated. The UN is confident of its victory, and writes off the old Wallfacer project as an absurdity. The wife of Hines reveals that she was the last Wallbreaker, and exposes the secret part of Hines's plan: the belief implanting device was inverted, causing its subjects to believe victory was impossible, and to conspire to escape the Earth. The human space fleet, worried that the device may have produced a secret society of escape advocates, brings Zhang out of hibernation to investigate. Zhang seizes the moment to sedate the largest ship's crew, and drive the ship out of the solar system, having been a secret Defeatist all this time. The space-fleet sends four ships after Zhang. Meanwhile, the Trisolaran probe passes Jupiter, and in a show of strength, humanity launches 2,000 warships to intercept it. However, the probe is revealed to be a bullet made of "strong interaction" material. It pierces through the fuel-cells of the ships, destroying all but two. These two decide to escape the solar system rather than reporting back to base. Hearing the news, society devolves into hysteria. The four ships which were chasing Zhang decide to join his desertion. However, each ship eventually concludes that it can maximize its chances of survival by killing the crews of the other ships and harvesting their resources. The five ships try to kill each other, with one emerging victorious. On the other side of the solar system, one of the two escaping ships also kills the other. Luo explains how these events confirm his earlier theory: there is life everywhere in the galaxy, but owing to exponential growth and limited resources, the incentive is very high for each galactic civilization to preemptively kill any others. The only thing stopping this is the lack of knowledge of others' locations. Luo is made a Wallfacer again after the UN notices that the star earlier marked by Luo has been destroyed. His strategy has been to force Trisolaris into a truce by threatening to broadcast their location. However, the Trisolarans prevent this by using the probe to blanket Earth in EMF waves. Luo seemingly gives up, and joins the government's Snow Project, a futile effort to use nuclear bombs to create vast clouds of debris, as a way of tracking the remaining journey of Trisolaris's fleet. He is shunned by the public for not having a plan to defeat Trisolaris, and descends into alcoholism. However, it is revealed that he has encoded a message into the bombs: upon their explosion, the resulting precisely-placed dust clouds will cause the sun to appear to flicker to an extra-solar observer, thereby relaying Trisolaris's location to the galaxy in a type of Morse code. Trisolaris is forced to agree to a truce with Earth. The government approves of Luo's work and agrees to bring his wife and son out of hibernation, whereupon they are reunited. ===== A young American doctor is in Tokyo trying to heal his heartbreak after being jilted by his lover. Just as he is about to return to his home country, he decides to help a young Japanese woman escape a bad situation by making her legally his wife. When the doctor arrives in America, his former lover returns, and is sad to find that he is married. Meanwhile, the young woman begins to fall for the doctor's Japanese assistant. ===== Dennis O'Flaherty, winner of the Victoria Cross for his outstanding bravery, has returned home to his local village to take part in a recruitment campaign. In conversation with General Pearce Madigan, the local squire, O'Flaherty admits that he had not told his Fenian mother that he would be fighting for the British side in the war, not against it. Madigan says he must explain to her why the war is being fought, and that even Republicans should help in the struggle against German oppression. O'Flaherty says he's no idea why the war is being fought, he just joined up to get away from home, but one thing he's become convinced of is that patriotism is part of the problem: "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race". His mother appears, incensed to discover he's being fighting for the British. But she's even more horrified when Dennis' girlfriend, Teresa, arrives, expecting that the V.C. comes with a large payout in cash. She's dismayed to learn that the government may only give him a pension if he is wounded first. Still, she thinks it will be worth it, even if he does have to be badly wounded. Dennis says he's sick of life in provincial Ireland. Since he's experienced France, he never wants to come back. He hopes he can get a French wife. Teresa is outraged. When Mrs O'Flaherty discovers that her son gave Teresa a valuable gold watch, she launches into a tirade and the two women berate each other mercilessly. O'Flaherty says he can't wait to get back to the peace and quiet of the trenches. General Madigan sympathises, commenting, "Do you think that we should have got an army without conscription if domestic life had been as happy as people say it is?" ===== Lord Reginald Fitzambey, Under-Secretary of State for War, is in a distressed state. He explains to his doctor that, knowing the British army would soon be put on a vegetarian diet, he bought shares in the Macaroni Trust. Brought before a parliamentary committee for profiteering, Fitzambey had tried to explain that macaroni was a normal investment. Now he is highly sensitised to anything distressing. His doctor prescribes rest and offers him opium pills. A woman starts to play the piano, causing Reginald to scream. The woman turns out to be famous pianist Strega Thundridge, employed by Reginald's mother at considerable cost to play in the room for two hours to soothe Reginald's nerves. Although Strega can hear Reginald screaming, she continues to play. Reginald finds himself powerfully attracted to her, but when he tries to make a pass at her, she starts playing Chopin, causing Reginald convulsions. She then restores his vitality with a stirring Polonaise. Reginald, who adores dominant women, is now hopelessly in love with Strega. He begs her to marry him so she can dominate him completely. She accepts, having always dreamed of meeting a man who was utterly in thrall to her. ===== ===== ===== The novel opens in London in 1831. The hero, William Harrow, the Marquess of Chapin, is better known as Temple, a partner in a popular casino known as The Fallen Angel. Temple was exiled from his life as a privileged aristocrat twelve years previously, when he was accused of murdering his father's fiance, Mara. In actuality, Mara had chosen to disappear, as she did not want to marry a man old enough to be her father. Mara's brother loses a great deal of money in The Fallen Angel. Mara comes out of hiding to offer Temple a deal. She will reveal that she is alive, thus clearing his name, if he will forgive her brother's debts. ===== Krishna (Ganesh) is sent back by his fiancée Ishanya (Erica Fernandes) to pursue back his college lover Nandini (Richa Panai). But after meeting her, he realises she is engaged and returns to Ishanya. ===== Ryan Bailey is a self-styled talk show host and marriage expert who, thanks to his own experience of being 'happily married,' claims to possess the secrets of marriage needed to help others. Convinced that he is a kind of modern-day 'marriage prophet,' he launches his own series. However, Ryan's ambitions vastly outweigh his means to realize them, and as a result he films the show in his garage and relies on his often-reluctant friends to provide technical assistance. Ryan has a troubled relationship with his wife (who remains an unseen character), though he attempts to hide this reality from the crew members and audience. His position as a 'marriage advisor' allows him to ridicule others for their inadequacies, though all too often, his own shine through in the process. Although Ryan's connections are dubious, he and his crew manage to lure celebrities to take part in the show as guests whom he then interviews. The means by which the celebrities have been induced to participate have included (to date) misinformation, blackmail, and kidnapping. On the rare occasions that a guest fails to materialize, the disappointment and shock is enough to send Ryan into a tailspin that only an impromptu musical number can cure. ===== The husband tells his lawyer that he needs to legally separate from his wife. The lawyer says he has no grounds for doing so, as his wife appears to have done nothing wrong. The husband says she has some extraordinary ideas. She believes that her beauty and charm are such that men fall in love with her easily. Since she has a talent for making men love her, it would be wrong not to use her talent on as many men as she can. At this point the solicitor's clerk enters and says that a beautiful woman has just arrived. The solicitor asks who she is, but the clerk says it would have been a violation of her perfection to ask her name. The husband says it must be his wife trying out her "talent" on the clerk. ===== ===== ===== At Arnold's Drive-In, Richie remarks that he thinks he saw a flying saucer, but Fonzie, Ralph, Potsie and Chachi don't believe him. When Richie returns home, he finds his family has gone to the movies. Someone knocks on the door: a visitor dressed in red, with a triangle on his shirt and wearing a helmet. The visitor speaks very strangely and Richie thinks it is Ralph pulling a prank; instead, the visitor reveals himself as "Mork", an alien from the planet Ork. Richie, ever the reporter, decides to interview Mork. When asked why he is visiting Earth, Mork tells him that he is trying to collect a "specimen". Richie asks him if he is going to take the President or maybe baseball star Hank Aaron; Mork says no, telling Richie that Ork would have to trade the entire planet for someone so famous. Instead, Mork claims he needs someone average and "humdrum": Richie himself. At first, Richie demurs, but when Mork tells him that he will bring him back in an "instant", Richie agrees to go. He heads upstairs to pack and tells Mork to make himself comfortable; the spaceman does, watching The Andy Griffith Show on the family TV set. ("I like that boy Opie," Mork remarks, "but why does Earth boy have Martian name?" Opie was played by a young Ron Howard, who played Richie on Happy Days.) The movie over, Joanie, Marion and Howard return to the house and notice Mork sitting on the couch; thinking "he must be a friend of Richard's", they let Mork's odd behavior go for the moment, including the Orkan's predilection to "sit down" by laying face first on the couch with his backside in the air. Howard and Mork get into a dispute when Mork seemingly damages the TV set by pointing his finger at it; Howard starts to point his finger at Mork and all three Cunninghams (except Richie) are frozen and cannot move. (Howard "drew first", Mork explains to Richie.) After being assured the "freezing" effects will eventually wear off, Richie ask Mork exactly how long they will be gone; the spaceman tells Richie it will be a mere 2,000 years in Earth time. When Mork is not looking, though, Richie makes a run for it, escaping to Arnold's. Back at Arnold's, Richie tells Fonzie in the men's room that there is a spaceman after him. Fonzie is dubious, which causes Richie grab hold of Fonzie's jacket: a serious breach of "cool" protocol. Fonzie heads out of the rest room and sees the gang singing a song onstage and Al smiling and watching them; suddenly, Mork points his finger and everybody but Richie and Fonzie are frozen. Fonzie introduces himself, but things don't go well. ("Do you want to rumble [i.e. fight]?" Fonzie asks, to which Mork replies, "Ah, rhumba!" and hums a bit from West Side Story.) Mork says if he wins, Richie will go with him, but if Fonzie wins he does not have to go; the fight starts and is seemingly over in an instant as Mork freezes the Fonz with his all-powerful finger. Just when Mork is about to take Richie away, however, Fonzie gets out of the frozen position and says "Ayyy!" with both of his thumbs up. The battle continues, as Mork and Fonzie put their thumbs together, causing a green light to appear between them. When Mork points his finger at the jukebox and turns it on, Fonzie (using his patented move) bangs on it to turn it off again; all the while, Richie writes the events down in his notebook. At one point, Mork strips Ralph to his underwear, then unfreezes him. Ralph, confused, runs out of Arnold's in terror. Fonzie snaps his fingers at a frozen waitress and they start to make out; Mork tries this on a blond girl, only to make Potsie walk to him instead ("I'll give you that one," Mork concedes). When Mork uses Al for "target practice", making the owner walk around like a robot and bumping into things, Fonzie does the same thing by snapping his fingers. Finally, Mork says "no one can top this one": he will put his fingers together and make the whole building collapse. Not wanting to see anyone get hurt, Fonzie stops the Orkan and reluctantly admits defeat. Richie says he will go in peace, but Mork decides to take Fonzie back to Ork instead. When Richie tries to stop Mork from taking Fonzie, he suddenly wakes up on the family couch: it was all just a dream. When Richie mentions the flying saucer, Howard says it was actually a weather balloon (a common official explanation for UFOs in the 1950s). Again, the doorbell rings and Richie answers it; at the door is a man who resembles Mork, except he is speaking with a Southern accent and merely asking for directions. (In an ending shot for syndication, it turns out the man really is Mork, and he made it seem like the entire event was a dream. He recounts the events to his superior Orson, who assigns him to modern-day 1978, leading up to the events of Mork and Mindy.) ===== Newspaper editor Mark Flint cares about only two things, reporting a big story, no matter whose life it adversely affects, and Edith, his wife. He is unaware that Edith, bored by him, has been having a romantic affair with Noel Adams, a banker. Adams gives a 24-hour deadline to Edith to leave her husband or end the affair. He books passage on a steamship and packs his bags. But after a crisis develops that could ruin his bank, Flint finds out, confronts Adams and, seeing his luggage, mistakenly believes Adams is fleeing the country. He prints the story without giving Adams a chance to manage the crisis at the bank. Although his journalistic coups please Franklin, the newspaper's owner, Flint is asked by Franklin if he would be willing to publish a photograph that would hurt a colleague. Flint says yes, whereupon Franklin shows him a picture of his wife and Adams together. An enraged Flint murders Adams, turns himself in and is sentenced to Sing Sing, where he ends up running the prison's newspaper. ===== In a multi-domed palace somewhere in the Middle East, a jackal wearing a turban is looking at things monitored by his crystal ball. Besides being able to see, the jackal can also touch and take things shown by the ball. Then he spots Krazy riding on a camel with his girlfriend, a spaniel. The jackal kills the camel and kidnaps the spaniel. Krazy is able to find a replacement camel inside the dead camel and rides it to the palace. He reaches the place momentarily. With the entrance blocked by two hippo guards, Krazy drills his way in. Inside, Krazy finds the jackal and the spaniel. But before he could get near, the captor flees through an elevator while holding the spaniel. Krazy tries to go inside a door, but the door crushes him against the wall, and sends him through a hole, which becomes narrow, then wide, then swirly. He then gets passed a pack of mummies that try to pound him with a bat. Buy then the cat gets trapped inside a transparent clock with a giant knife moving within. But a bee stings him and he turns fat and floats upward, bringing the clock with him. Two birds peck up the back of the clock, opening it and pinch Krazy, making him deflate to his regular size. Krazy finally reaches a room where he again finds the jackal and the spaniel, while the Poet and Peasant overture begins to play. The jackal makes the first move by tossing an urn. Krazy responds as he goes forth and throws punches at the jackal to the music. The spaniel joins Krazy in striking her captor. This goes until the jackal is violently slammed against a wall where bottles from a shelf fall down to the music. The jackal slams a TNT bottle on the ground, and it explodes. It turns out what Krazy and the spaniel experienced was merely a nightmare as they are napping on a sofa. They momentarily wake up to hear a radio in the room telling the end of a story about a magician. ===== The protagonist, Lysander (Sandy) Washington, has been raised by aliens, the Hakh'hli. When their interstellar ship arrives at Earth, Sandy serves as part of the aliens' liaison team with Earth. Pohl uses Sandy's alien perspective to make some observations about our culture. Sandy believes his alien friends are peaceful and benevolent, as they present themselves to be. However, after it becomes clear their plans are far from benevolent, Sandy has to decide whether to side with the aliens who raised him, who are the only family he knows, or to side with humanity. This decision becomes more complicated when he learns he is only partially human. ===== After a nuclear war, the countries on Earth are conquered by India and China, which each take over different countries. China turns the mostly ruined United States into a colony which is used for agriculture. An educated American working as a farm labourer, Pettyman Castor, becomes embroiled in a criminal investigation. When he is allowed to use a computer as part of the investigation, Castor finds out that an alien space vessel (they are called "erks") is rapidly on its way to Earth. After the Chinese conquerors learn that the aliens demand to speak to the President of the United States, given that that state no longer exists, the Chinese develop a plan to use Castor as an envoy to the aliens: they appoint him as a mock President of the United States. Castor is taken by the aliens onto their spaceship, and then transported to another planet where the aliens live. In addition, to erks, he meets patriotic American interplanetary castaways on the planet. They are the descendants of American astronauts from a previous space voyage who got stranded on the alien planet. The American castaways and the aliens develop a plan to free the United States from the Chinese colonists. However, Castor becomes concerned when he learns that the aliens are war- loving conquerors who usually leave no survivors when they invade. ===== Agent Phil Coulson’s S.H.I.E.L.D. team rush Agent Skye to a medical facility after she was shot twice at close range by Ian Quinn. They are soon told that nothing can be done and that they will have to decide whether to keep her on life support or not. Coulson is unable to reach Director Nick Fury, who previously resurrected Coulson, and so decides to go looking for the doctors that brought him back to life himself, knowing that they will be able to save her. As they travel to Bethesda to see Dr. Streiten, who oversaw Coulson's resurrection, Coulson reveals to Agents Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons how he was brought back, despite the information being above their clearance: his injuries were healed and then his brain was stimulated until he woke up. Whatever was used to heal his injuries can be used to save Skye. Coulson is ordered to take Quinn in by S.H.I.E.L.D., but he knows that he cannot delay, and so keeps him in custody on their plane. They are soon boarded by Agents John Garrett and Antoine Triplett. They have been hunting Quinn for some time now, and Coulson, who is old friends with Garrett, convinces them to leave Quinn on board until Skye is saved. Garrett interrogates Quinn on the plane, and Quinn reveals that he was instructed to shoot Skye by the Clairvoyant, who can see everything except for how Coulson was resurrected, and is now forcing Coulson to find out how he was brought back. Unfortunately, Coulson learns that Dr. Streiten and the facility where he was treated actually do not exist in Bethesda.

He calls himself a Kuwaiti and is often derisive towards Indians. After a night of partying, Ranjit is woken up to a phone call from his friend and receives word that negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait have collapsed, and Iraqi troops have begun their invasion of Kuwait. The next morning, Ranjit discovers that Kuwait is now occupied by the Iraqi Army. Ranjit and Nair, his driver, go out and drive to the Indian embassy in an attempt to take their family and leave Kuwait. They are stopped by Iraqi soldiers at a checkpoint and Nair is shot dead amidst the confusion. A shocked Ranjit is then taken to the Emir's palace. There he meets Iraqi Republican Guard officer Major Khalaf bin Zayd (Inaamulhaq), who reveals that he was the one who pulled up to the checkpoint earlier and prevented Ranjit from being harmed. Major Khalaf, who knows Ranjit from Ranjit's visits to Iraq, chides him but extends his personal friendship, ensuring Ranjit and his family's safety from the soldiers. From there, Ranjit goes to the Indian embassy where he learns that the Kuwaiti government has fled into exile. Some 170,000 Indians in Kuwait are now stranded as refugees. Iraqi forces continue to push through Kuwait and Ranjit's mansion is raided by Iraqi soldiers, but his wife and child manage to escape to his office. Ranjit convinces his friends to work together, and they set up a makeshift camp for some 500 Indians with Major Khalaf's permission. Amrita urges Ranjit to use his leverage to extricate his own family, but Ranjit, who ordinarily would have just looked out for himself, appears to have a change of heart. He decides to stay and help the other Indians leave Kuwait. Ranjit learns that the Indian embassy in Kuwait has been evacuated and phones the Indian External Affairs Ministry in New Delhi, where he reaches the Joint Secretary, Sanjiv Kohli (Kumud Mishra), and asks for arrangements to be made for the evacuation. Later on, the camp is looted by Iraqi soldiers and harassed some of the refugees. Ranjit pays a visit to Major Khalaf and talks to him about this, to which the Major simply extends his apologies, and also reveals that President Saddam has already permitted Indians to leave Kuwait, but the problem is that they have no way to do so. Ranjit travels to Baghdad to try to negotiate safe passage out of Kuwait, but to no avail. The only remaining option, Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz, turns out to be helpful. He discloses that an Indian merchant ship is due to arrive in Iraq with various supplies, and permits the Indian refugees to leave on the ship. However, Ranjit later receives news of the UN embargo and that ships are barred from entering or leaving Iraq, effectively crushing their hopes of getting out. Meanwhile, Kohli is somewhat of a sluggard, but when his father (Arun Bali) recounts their tale of woe during the partition of India, Kohli is inspired to actively help Ranjit. He approaches the national airline, Air India, to lead an evacuation of the 170,000 Indians in Kuwait and gets the Indian embassy in Amman, Jordan to issue permits. As the Indians leave Kuwait, Ranjit comes across yet another checkpoint where he encounters hostile Iraqi soldiers who, in absence of any passports or IDs, threaten to kill Amrita. A skirmish erupts between Ranjit and the soldiers, following which the people in Ranjit's convoy come forward and outnumber the Iraqi soldiers. Ranjit lets them live and the convoy passes. They arrive in Jordan where planes from Air India and Indian Airlines would fly the refugees back to India. The Indians salute Ranjit as they board the planes that will take them home. Ranjit however begins to feel guilty over his attitude towards Indians as he sees the Indian Tricolour. The film ends with Ranjit indicating that he always believed India never did anything for its citizens, but after being rescued by the country he and a lot of Indians had disowned, he may not ever say that in the future again. ===== {| class="infobox" |- ! style="font-size:100%; text-align: center;"| Narrative acts |- | 1.

General Mitchener is in a state of considerable anxiety about the number of Suffragettes chaining themselves to government buildings. He has had all the railings removed, but is informed by an orderly that another suffragette has padlocked herself to the door scraper. Surprisingly, he has received a letter from the Prime Minister, Balsquith, telling him to release the woman and let her into the building. When he does so, he learns that this suffragette is none other than the Prime Minister himself, disguised as a woman. As he tried to get to the War Office, there were so many suffragettes chasing him that he thought the safest option was to pretend to be one of them. Balsquith informs Mitchener that his arch-rival General Sandstone has resigned from the government, since his plan of creating a male-only exclusion zone of two miles around Westminster has failed. Women are refusing to leave. Mitchener is in favour of the plan, offering Balsquith his usual advice: "shoot them down". Balsquith says events are getting out of control. Already a pro-suffrage curate has been flogged by an army lieutenant, who fails to realise that the curate has aunts in the peerage. Britain needs to concentrate on the threat of German rearmament, but is distracted by these domestic issues. Mitchener says that the solution to the German problem is simple - shoot them down. Balsquith points out that the Germans might shoot back. Mitchener says he's been wanting to invade them for years. Britain needs to think ahead. Soon it may be possible to travel to the moon, and if the Germans get there first there is a real prospect of a "German moon". Meanwhile, he suggests that the lieutenant should be flogged in reprisal for his actions, but Balsquith reminds him that the man's father donated a large sum to party funds. He suggests that Mitchener should charm one of the aunts, Lady Richmond, and offer to promote the curate. The General asks his housekeeper Mrs Farrell to find a uniform for him, as he needs to look his best to see Lady Richmond. It should be one befitting a hero who has risked his life in battle. Mrs Farrell says she has risked hers giving birth to eight children; risking life to create more life is better than risking it to destroy the lives of others. The orderly announces that Mrs Banger and Lady Corinthia Fanshawe, leaders of the anti- suffrage movement, have arrived. Balsquith, he says, fled as soon as he saw them. Mitchener is shocked by the orderly's derogatory comments about the Prime Minister, but the orderly tells him that he wouldn't be in the army if it weren't for conscription, and now that he is, he trusts sergeants more than generals. Mitchener orders the orderly to arrest himself for insubordination. Mrs Banger and Lady Corinthia enter. They declare that the men have failed to defeat the suffragettes. New tactics are needed. Mrs Banger says that the suffragettes have got it all wrong. Women don't want to vote, they want to join the army. In fact most great leaders, including Bismarck and Napoleon, were women in disguise. Lady Corinthia, in contrast, believes that women should control men by using feminine glamour and charm. Giving votes to women will ensure that the ugly and dowdy ones will be as powerful as charming beauties such as herself, which is outrageous. Mitchener is so shocked by the arguments of Mrs Banger and Lady Corinthia that he decides he is now in favour of votes for women. Mrs Banger says she will try to get Sandstone's support. After she leaves Balsquith reappears and says that the government is cracking. The Liberals and the Labour party have declared support for women's suffrage. Mitchener says he must now withdraw his support, since he cannot be seen to bow to pressure. The orderly returns with news that General Sandstone has been forced by Mrs Banger to allow women to join the army. Further, Mrs Banger's tactic of sitting on the general's head until he gives in has so impressed Sandstone that he's proposed marriage to her. Mitchener decides that he will marry the only sensible woman he knows, Mrs Farrell. Mrs Farrell only agrees after consulting her daughter, a variety performer who is engaged to the son of a Duke. Lady Corintha is left with Balsquith, but he insists that he does not wish to marry. She says that she too does not want marriage, which is far too vulgar. She must fulfil her destiny to be his "Egeria", or behind-the- scenes advisor. The orderly is promoted to the rank of lieutenant, as he is too incompetent to be a sergeant. ===== Archdeacon Pultney of Barchester Cathedral dies mysteriously and the new Archdeacon Haynes takes his place.

To protect the Chalcidians from missile attacks by their warlike sister world of Eretria, the Federation has promised the Chalcidians a planetary defense grid. However, during the meeting, Kirk is struck in the back of the head by an Eretrian dissident, forcing an emergency beam out. In sickbay, Kirk has an hallucination of Rayna, an android girl who died after being overwhelmed by the emotions she developed by falling in love with Kirk (episode "Requiem for Methuselah"). Spock had erased Rayna from Kirk's memory to save him from the emotional turmoil. McCoy uses the experimental drug alkysine to save Kirk's life. Kirk appears to make a recovery, and proceeds to the bridge in order to activate the defense grid with his own personal password. However, Kirk is suddenly stopped by the image of a beautiful woman in an old Starfleet uniform. She vanishes and Kirk cannot remember the password. As Chekov and Scott try to initialize the grid, Kirk sees a little girl running in the halls. On the bridge, Smith reports a missile from Eretria heading directly for Chalcis. The Chalcidian minister demands the password to activate the grid, but Spock is forced to stall for time while the captain recovers. In sickbay, Kirk once again sees the beautiful woman lying on a bio-bed. McCoy reports that his heart appears to be shutting down with no medical explanation. Kirk tells him about the woman he's been seeing in his hallucinations: Nakia, an officer he dated on the Farragut. She was killed along with 200 crewman at Tycho IV by the dikronium cloud creature (as recalled in episode "Obsession"). McCoy believes Kirk's symptoms may be psychological, and that the injury and/or the alkysine may have unleashed emotions that Kirk's been keeping buried. McCoy suggests Dr. McKennah's help, but Kirk refuses and vows to return to the bridge. While arguing with Spock in the hallway, Kirk sees another old love: Edith Keeler, a woman he met on Earth in the 1930s, whom he allowed to die in order to restore history (episode "The City on the Edge of Forever"). At this point, Kirk suffers a brief but painful seizure. Back on the bridge, Uhura reports that a replacement grid is four days away. Smith reports the Eretrian missile has vanished from sensors. Spock, McKennah, and McCoy speculate as to the cause of the captain's condition, but once again Kirk is dismissive of McKennah's help. While Spock and McCoy try to plead with Kirk, he once again has another hallucination: this time of Miramanee, the American Indian princess whom he married during a memory lapse (episode "The Paradise Syndrome"). Miramanee had become pregnant with Kirk's child, but subsequently died when Kirk was attacked by angry villagers. Kirk then experiences another seizure, but resolves to perform his duties. On the bridge, Spock, Sulu, and Smith are able to detect and destroy the Eretrian warhead. But at a crucial moment, Kirk is tormented by the hallucinations of Nakia, Edith, and Miramanee. Disturbed, Kirk relieves himself of duty and hands control of the ship to Mr. Spock. With McCoy in his quarters, Kirk wonders aloud about the women. Despite his love, he feels that they died because of him, since he had to "do his duty" in each case. Kirk has another seizure and sees all three women again; however, Spock mind-melds with him and witnesses the women as well. Spock is uncertain as to whether the women are figments of Kirk's imagination or actual katras (souls), and he suggests to Kirk that they may need closure in order to move on. Kirk finally goes to see Dr. McKennah, who notes that he feels a tremendous amount of guilt. The feelings of grief that Kirk has kept buried for so long are coming out now, and it's not actually the women who need closure. It's Kirk himself. Kirk goes to Scotty's experimental holographic rec room, and recreates the scenes in which he encountered each woman. In the 1930s he sees Edith, the woman he loved for her compassion and her intellect; the one who could see that humanity would find peace and explore the galaxy. Kirk informs her that she had to die in order for history to be restored properly, so that her dreams of a better future would eventually come into fruition. Understanding, she tells Kirk to be at peace. In sickbay on the Farragut, Kirk sees Nakia, the woman he loved in his youth. She tells him she knew the risks when she entered Starfleet, and that he needs to forgive himself. In the American Indian village, Miramanee is on her deathbed. Kirk tells her he sometimes wishes that he had not been found, as he was never happier than when he was with her. She was a gift he could never repay. Miramanee tells him that he made her very happy; that her place was by his side; that one does not repay a gift. Finally Kirk sees the android girl Rayna, whom he loved because she, too, was lonely. Rayna simply smiles and says nothing; she is at peace as well. Smith reports that Eretria has launched a barrage of missiles, and Kirk orders the Enterprise to physically block them in order to protect Chalcis. He begins to head to the bridge when he encounters the little girl again. He asks her name, and she says he never gave her one. She then shows him a gift – a piece of beadwork with markings from Miramanee's headband – at which point Kirk realizes she is a vision of his unborn child. Kirk imagines hugging her, and she whispers the word "Irises." Remembering now that this is the password, Kirk is able to activate the defense grid. After witnessing the grid's power, the Eretrians declare their intention to sue for peace. Kirk thanks McKennah for her help and notes that he now sees the benefit of having a counselor on board. Meanwhile, Spock and McCoy are perplexed as to why Kirk chose the password "Irises." Spock discovers a painting called Irises by Vincent van Gogh – a single white iris in a field of purple flowers, which van Gogh apparently used to symbolize his loneliness. McCoy notes that, despite most of his heart shutting down, Kirk still persevered because part of his heart belongs to another special lady. Kirk smiles as he realizes McCoy's referring to the Enterprise herself. ===== ===== In the near future, the living areas for humans reduce due to climate and terrain changes.
