Raymond Lau (Andy Lau) grew up in an orphanage. He is an honors graduate from the University of London School of Law, specializing in criminal law, who just obtained a law license and is returning to Hong Kong for his career. Raymond's fiancée's family also has a background in law. At this time a case occurred, an over 50-year-old prostitute Lau Wai Lan (Deanie Ip) is suspected of killing the son of a dignitary rich client. No one is willing to defend her, and she wants to die. People are not optimistic that the work ethic and sense of justice is still driving. Raymond Lau took over the case.

Rookie lawyer Raymond, through Old Kwan's (Lau Siu Ming) help, searches for evidence everywhere — the truth gradually unraveling the case. He is opposed by the father of his fiancée, and the relationship with his fiancée gradually goes down. In an accident, Wai Lan saw Raymond has a pocket watch with "bright future" engraved on it, a gift that she gave her son many years back. She finds out Raymond was her son whom she took to Dean Maria's orphanage. Wai Lan has not abandoned Raymond: She became a dancer, anonymously cared for Raymond, and paid for his tuition and summons for the University of London School of Law. Wan Lan worried about the exposure of her identity would ruin Raymond's honor and identity; she refused to let Raymond defend her.

Raymond cannot accept that Wai Lan refused his defense. Wai Lan does not say anything but, under the persuasion of Old Kwan, Wai Lan finally agreed to let Raymond defend her. Raymond's logic clearly refutes, points out the contradiction of the allegations of witness, and the inference that the deceased is a sexual pervert. Raymond finds victims of sexual abuse — prostitutes — to testify based and looked for the victim's psychiatrist who testified. The psychiatrist, however, denied that the victim is his patient. Fortunately, one of Raymond's orphanage mates, Tang Siu Fan, who is a nurse of the clinic, agrees to testify and comes up with the medical records evidence that the victim is indeed his patient.

Prosecutor (Paul Chun) summoned Maria, the retired orphanage director, to testify in court about Wai Lan and Raymond's mother and son relationship. According to the British statutes and regulations there shall not have such kinship between lawyer and client, asking the judge to immediately revoke the litigation. However, Mary firmly denies Wai Lan and Raymond's mother and son relationship. The consent of the jury, the judge ruled that Wai Lan was harassed by her client and killed him under self-defense. At the end, Raymond still does not know that Wai Lan is his birth mother.

Due to an error, newly enrolled Otorinashi Academy student, Yuuki Kagami, is assigned a room in the girls' dormitory, even though Yuuki is a boy. Since none of the other rooms for boys are available, he ends up having to share the room with Ayana Kakinozaka, his beautiful but ditzy homeroom teacher and self-proclaimed guardian who made the mistake in the first place. To avoid getting kicked out of the school for being a boy in a girls' dormitory, Yuuki must cross-dress whenever he is outside his room and when he is not in his classes. Yuuki meets several other characters in Otorinashi Academy, the first being Risa Takabane, whom he accidentally walks into, leaving a bad impression. Risa finds out about his situation, but decides to keep it a secret, on the condition he becomes her slave. Over the course of the series, he encounters other girls including student council president Patricia Bepouin, most of whom have a romantic and/or a strong sexual attraction to him.

Carrie (Claire Danes) meets with her asset, Fatima Ali (Clara Khoury), after Friday prayers at a mosque. Fatima reveals that she is prepared to defect to the United States and gives Carrie the time and place that her husband, Hezbollah district commander Abbas Ali, will be meeting with Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban). Carrie meets Saul (Mandy Patinkin) at the safehouse and they relay the news to Estes (David Harewood) via Skype. Estes grills Carrie about the reliability of the tip, and Saul speculates that the information might be phony and that their men are being led into an ambush. It becomes clear to Carrie that Saul and Estes do not trust her judgment.

The Brodys attend a function where the Waldens are also present. Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan) informs Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) that one of Iran's nuclear weapon sites survived the air strikes, but that the President is reluctant to take further action as his term is running out. Walden asks Brody to speak to the Secretary of Defense to try to convince him that urgent action is required. Meanwhile, the Brodys become further ingratiated with the Walden family as Cynthia Walden (Talia Balsam) invites Jessica (Morena Baccarin) to co-host a fundraiser with her, and Dana (Morgan Saylor) runs into Finn Walden (Timothée Chalamet) and takes a liking to him.

Saul talks on the phone with Estes about whether to attempt to capture Abu Nazir, and the conversation turns to Carrie's reliability, and whether it was a good idea to send her to Lebanon. Carrie hears the entire conversation and begins to have a breakdown. She retreats to the roof of the safehouse, where Saul finds her. Carrie confesses that she no longer trusts her own instincts after she was so completely wrong about Brody. She admits that in her current state, she should not be trusted, but that the Carrie of eight years ago can be trusted, and she is the one who recruited Fatima, gained her trust, helped her through some terrible ordeals, and would not doubt any information that Fatima came forward with. After some thought, Saul gives the green light to the mission to capture Abu Nazir.

As the meeting is about to take place, Walden invites Brody into a situation room where he and several other officials are watching a video feed of the operation. Once Brody realizes what is happening, he covertly sends a text message containing "May 1" to Abu Nazir. As Nazir exits his vehicle, one of his men shows him the text message as the Delta Force team prepares to open fire. Nazir ducks back into his vehicle and successfully escapes while two of his lieutenants, including Abbas Ali, are slain.

Saul and Carrie stop to pick up Fatima Ali to safely get her to the United States. Disobeying Saul's orders, Carrie insists on ransacking Fatima's apartment to see what her husband has in there. She gathers all of the relevant documents she can find and stuffs them into a satchel, while an angry mob gathers around Saul and Fatima in the car, forcing them to drive away. Carrie is spotted by four men who start shooting at her and chase her through the building. She narrowly escapes with her life by knocking out one of the men with a brick. Carrie manages to get back to the car where she turns over her findings to an enraged Saul.

Brody has a drink with some of his ex-Marine friends including Mike (Diego Klattenhoff) and Lauder (Marc Menchaca). They insist that there must be more to the story with Walker and are looking for answers; Lauder points out that Walker was by far the best shooter among them, yet missed three times on the day of the summit, and that his death is still unexplained. They theorize that Walker must have been working with someone else and that his attack was serving as a distraction for something else. Brody retorts that Walker was simply a traitor and that his attack never led to anything bigger.

Saul prepares to ship Abbas' documents to Langley and discovers a hidden compartment in the satchel. Inside the compartment he finds a memory card. Viewing its contents, Saul is stunned to find the video confession that Brody prepared prior to his aborted suicide bombing.

Just before the expedition departs, Burke proposes to young actress Julia Matthews, who has trouble remembering who he is. John Macadam tries to sustain public interest by staging a musical play about the expedition. Julia demands the lead role and grows a beard to prove she can play Burke. The play opens around the time Burke and Wills die in the desert. John King survives the expedition and is found by a search party in 1861.

Gerald Broflovski dresses up as a UPS delivery man in order to engage in sexual roleplay with his wife, Sheila. Their three-year-old son, Ike, sees this and is convinced that his mother is having an affair with a real delivery man. He draws a picture of what he saw, and tearfully shows his older brother Kyle. When Kyle confides this to the other boys at Stan Marsh's house, Stan’s father Randy Marsh overhears them, and informs the other men in town of this. Soon, all the children and men in South Park, led by Randy, are under the impression that UPS delivery men are sleeping with their wives and mothers. Around this time, Eric Cartman decides to have a home security system installed to protect his mother. However, he accidentally triggers the device and becomes infuriated with the company's nonchalant reaction.

The old mechanic at Skeeter's Bar convinces the men that the convenience of ordering products online has brought this situation upon them, relating the UPS delivery men to milk men of the 20th century. He recounts how back in his day, men got lazy and wanted to have milk delivered to their doorstep. Little did they know that the milkman delivering the milk would sleep with their wives. He says that history is now repeating itself with Amazon, with women receiving products from the e-commerce giant that they do not remember ordering. Randy then observes this phenomenon with his wife Sharon, and then finds Ike's drawing in Stan's room. Convinced that Thad, the UPS delivery man is sleeping with their wives, Randy and the men ask the old mechanic for advice. At first he states that there is no getting rid of the delivery man, not in any way they are "prepared for", but suggests they let him keep sleeping with their wives until he gets tired. Stephen, however, states that it is not just their wives anymore, believing that the UPS man is now going after the men too, as he just received a product that he does not remember ordering. The old mechanic tells them the only way to solve the problem is to kill the delivery man and resolve to return to purchase products in brick and mortar stores, stating that his generation did the same with milkmen.

The men each don Bane-type masks, severely beat up Thad, and leave Ike's drawing on him to indicate that they know what he did. When the deliveries continue, the men decide to install the Wolf Home Security personal alarm system, named "INSecurity", which is physically installed inside the user and triggered whenever the user feels insecure. This leads to rampant false alarms caused by the men's insecurities. Kyle attempts to address the issue of his mother's "affair" by having his parents sit down with the UPS delivery man. However, after Thad's UPS truck is destroyed by a bomb, he retreats deeper into the Broflovski's home before jumping out of a second-story window to his death. The men tell the police that Thad killed himself because he was a psychopath who had been forced to have sex with his mother. They purportedly illustrate this by showing the police Ike's drawing, which they say they found in the man's pocket. When the police find a UPS uniform in the Broflovski's closet, Kyle and the men realize that Gerald was the UPS man that Ike saw.

When the men inform the old mechanic that he was wrong about the trappings of modern convenience and merely need to be secure with themselves, the old man suggests that the security salesmen are having sex with their wives. As a result, Cartman and the men, again disguised as Bane, confront the security technician. The episode ends with him dragged out of his truck in shock after Cartman tells him that he should have "respected [Cartman's] authoritah".

The plot concerns the coming of age and misadventures of three white youths from the small town of Holyoke, Iowa who, having been seduced by the fast money and easy women of the gangsta rap lifestyle, yearn to be African American.Rabin, Nathan (April 2001).

The trio of would-be hoodlums ventures to Cabrini–Green housing project in Chicago, Illinois, where they come into conflict with actual criminals as well as the police. In a climactic finale, the irrepressible leader of the white hoodlums is beaten up and they return to Iowa and decide to stay there.Johnson, E. Patrick (2003). ''Appropriating Blackness: performance and the politics of authenticity.'' Duke University Press,

The film is essentially a fictional biography of a self-centred, chain-smoking, highly-strung, radical realist film-maker named Yehia Choukry Mourad. It opens with him having a heart attack while directing a film. He is convinced to go to London for diagnosis and, subsequently, a heart bypass. The day before the operation, he spends time with his chauffeur. The film was daring for implying a homosexual attraction between the two men. Homoerotic tension was created by knowing glances that are exchanged between Yehia and the taxi driver.

Once Yehia is put under anaesthetic, the action shifts to a surreal, dreamlike court case held within Yehia's own chest cavity (the roof-beams of the court-room, for example, are Yehia's ribs). Yehia's inner child is on trial: feeling unloved by the adult Yehia, this child is attempting to kill Yehia. The child's witness stand comprises clear plastic tubes into which he drops white crystals, symbolising Yehia's arteries and the cholesterol that is choking them. As different witnesses speak during the chaotic court scenes, the film presents different flashbacks to Yehia's life, starting with his unfair treatment by a bitter, Catholic primary-school teacher.

The flashbacks position Yehia at some key moments in Egyptian history: participating as a youth in riots against British forces in Egypt; starring in and directing a film which alludes to the 1958 ''Cairo Station''; fruitlessly seeking Euro-American approval for his work at the Cannes Film Festival and in New York, but winning a prize at the inaugural Moscow International Film Festival; and making a film about the Battle of Algiers (1956–57), perhaps alluding to the 1966 movie ''The Battle of Algiers''. The film portrays an ageing Yehia getting into trouble with censors, yet insisting on continuing to shoot his banned film, during which he has his heart attack.

Yehia's relationships with his mother, sister, and wife Amal are a key theme in both the flashbacks and the court scenes. Insofar as they have mistreated Yehia, the film suggests that these women's behaviours arises from their own experience of and participation in patriarchal oppression. Yehia's mother is forced to marry and have children young; in turn, she imposes the same strictures on her daughter; and Yehia himself refuses to allow his daughter to pursue a love-marriage just before his heart-attack. Amal is similarly confined by motherhood and Yehia's own infantility.

The film ends with Yehia's inner child being condemned to death and plunging into an artery with a knife to attempt to kill Yehia. The surgeon operating on Yehia succeeds in extracting the inner child, however, and Yehia is saved. On coming to from his anaesthetic, Yehia meets his inner child, makes peace with him, and the inner child merges back into Yehia. Here the film ends.

Arthur is a young anthropomorphic aardvark residing in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals. Francine Frensky, his classmate, starts to complain of his nose and also frequently complains about Arthur's lengthy nose, as she is seated nearby, and a few other remarks regarding the length of his nose inspire Arthur to have it fixed. He visits a specialist, but decides against the idea of changing his nose even after viewing the man's other options. Arthur returns to school and is seldom taunted because of his nose, although Francine still complains mildly about it getting in her way.

At the Maul, the ghouls and the turtles are waiting for the new Twiheart movie. They learn about the feud between vampires and werewolves after hearing them whisper amongst themselves after seeing Draculaura and Clawd holding hands together. However, it turns out they were just pointing out the toilet paper stuck to Draculaura's boot.

At school later on, the ghouls get caught in the excitement of an announcement. Headmistress Bloodgood said that she was merging Monster High with two other schools. Belfry Prep is an all-vampire school, while Crescent Moon High is exclusively for werewolves. She hopes to eventually unite all monsters and then eventually even the human community. While this unnerved Draculaura and Clawdeen greatly, Frankie saw this as an opportunity to unite the two backgrounds, especially after the Fear Squad was placed as welcoming committee. With a little help from Abbey, the ghouls made a killer set-up, only to have it ruined after the two schools arrive. Bram Devein and Gory Fangtell, two snobby vampires, and Dougey, a brawny werewolf, are introduced after the three pass snarky comments to one another, after which Romulus, Clawd's childhood friend, tells the werewolves to not cause trouble on their first day at their new school.

The first day is an initial disaster. The vampires and werewolves claim species-only territory within the school. Cleo clashes with Gory, who attempts to take over the fear squad and make it vampires only, and Romulus is shocked and upset to find out that Clawd has fallen in love with a vampire.

Afterwards, Frankie makes the idea for a dance to bring the two together, and makes sure it works with the help of her friends and perfects it by turning Jackson Jekyll into Holt Hyde. But Administrator Van Hellscream, the Normie head of Monster and Normie relations, shows up and ruins everything. He and Crabgrass, his monster assistant, take over Monster High and secretly fuel the flames between vampires and werewolves, under the pretense of maintaining peace. Clawdeen and Clawd's insecure younger sister, Howleen, gets caught up in the middle of it. The two start support groups, Vampowerment and Were Pride. A disapproving Romulus begins to discreetly drive Draculaura and Clawd apart, and the two eventually split after Draculaura questions why Clawd is always listening to Romulus, worried that he was becoming intolerant.

Frankie, realizing that something funny is going on, begins to uncover a dark secret. Crabgrass has turned Bloodgood to stone using Gorgon Dust and had taken her shape, and her statue was now on display in the courtyard. Despite trying to warn the others, only Abbie and Lagoona believe her. She learns from Deuce she can return someone who has been turned to stone back to normal with the powder and recovers it with Spectra and Lagoona's help. When she and Abbey plan to change Bloodgood back to normal, Howleen and Draculaura both show up after getting suspicious text messages. Bloodgood is rescued, but Van Hellscream traps them and places them above a pit in the Catacombs, where they are left to die. Van Hellscream reveals that he believes monsters are dangerous and must be separated from Normie's, and that he has devoted his life to stopping the schools from being united. Upon realizing that Draculaura and Howleen are missing, the vampires and werewolves blame each other and decide to end the feud with an all-out fight in the gym at midnight (which was what Van Hellscream and Crabgrass really wanted all along). Clawd and Clawdeen become frantic when they realize that Frankie and Abby are also missing, and Clawdeen realizes that Frankie was right after they find Bloodgood's statue is missing. Meanwhile, Abbey gets the girls out of their cage, and with a little help from Operetta, Clawdeen, and Clawd, they make their escape out of the Catacombs just in time. Howleen realizes that she was wrong about vampires being bad after Draculaura jumps in front of her to protect her from a Gargoyle attack.

Meanwhile, the final fight is just about to break out between the vampire and werewolves in the gym. Van Hellscream hopes that the Skullastic Superintendents will see this and realize that monsters are meant to be separated. During this, Cleo realizes she is treating Ghoulia the same way the vampires are the zombies and apologizes. The fight is about to start when Howleen and Draculaura rush in, revealing that neither group kidnapped them, and Frankie delivers a heart-touching speech that finally unites them, bringing peace. As the attendants come through the doors they see how great everyone is getting along, and Van Hellscream and Crabgrass try to escape but are stopped when Cleo brings Deuce up and he petrifies them. After this, Romulus reconciles with Clawd and becomes friendly with Draculaura, Clawdeen starts to respect Howleen, who apologizes for stealing her clothes, Cleo and Gory become friends, and Gory starts to treat the zombies more like friends than slaves.

Leslie (Amy Poehler) is given a large city council office. It comes with her own private bathroom, which Councilman Jeremy Jamm (Jon Glaser) (who thinks the bathroom shouldn't be private) dislikes. Public opinion of the city council is low due to their inability to pass many laws, but Leslie tells local talk show "Pawnee Today" that an act to extend pool hours for a children's swim club is due to easily pass.

Inspired by his therapist's helpfulness, Chris (Rob Lowe) starts a prototype 3-1-1 service and asks the parks department to answer calls. A woman named Diane (Lucy Lawless) repeatedly calls Ron's (Nick Offerman) line about a pothole in front of her house; Ron decides to fill the pothole himself with Andy (Chris Pratt).

When Tom reveals that the bill no longer has the votes to pass, Leslie begs the elderly and racist Councilman Milton (James Greene) for his vote. He agrees to vote "yes", but when Leslie dodges his attempt to kiss her, he falls and injures himself, angering him back to a "no" vote. Jamm tells Leslie that he will vote "yes" if she switches offices with him, but she refuses. Meanwhile, Andy suggests to Ron that he play with Diane's two daughters to impress her; Diane later shows up at city hall and asks Ron out on a date.

Desperate for her bill to pass, a stressed Leslie gives up her office to Jamm, who also demands her parking spot. She allows it, passing the bill into law. At a later poolside press conference about the law, Jamm is intending to tell reporters about their secret deal. Before he can, an angry Tom pushes Jamm into the pool. To save face to the press, Leslie and Tom both jump in right after, acting as if it was a staged stunt.

In another subplot, Ben (Adam Scott) and April (Aubrey Plaza) decide to make a surprise trip to Pawnee. However, they are unable to get out of the parking garage due to the presidential motorcade being nearby and security not letting any cars near the area. Ben and April remain in the car for hours and grow increasingly annoyed with each other. When the motorcade finally departs the area, Ben's car runs out of gas. They push it back into the parking spot and end up laughing about the experience, with Ben offering to pay for plane tickets to Pawnee the next weekend.

The ship's nurse takes her on as an assistant before she reveals her presence to Krug. Krug's ship is sunk by a German U-boat, commanded by Lt. Brandt, who then abducts Alice from the lifeboat that she and Krug shared, with Krug vowing revenge.

Now in command of a new ship, Krug is still haunted by his hatred. His ship sinks a U-boat that turns out to have been commanded by Brandt. To his crew's bewilderment, Krug welcomes Brandt to his cabin, speaking German and getting him drunk. Not knowing Krug's identity, Brandt brags about how Alice was sexually abused and died.

He rules from Kusawathie city, with his queen Seelawathie (Veena Jayakody) and two sons, Prince Kusa (Jackson Anthony) and Prince Jayampathi (Roshan Ranawana). Kusa is strong and competent in all crafts, including warfare, but he has an ugly, oil-cake-shaped face. Since he realizes that no woman is likely to marry him, he is not interested in marriage. Nonetheless, his parents, especially mother, urge him to marry. Kusa makes a golden sculpture in a woman's shape and tells his mother that he will marry if she can find a woman who looks like the sculpture. The queen orders two royal servants (Mahinda Pathirage and Mahendra Perera) to take the statue to all other countries and find a woman who looks like the statue. After a long, unsuccessful search, the two royal servants arrive at Madura city, the capital of the Madura kingdom, during the season of the spring festival. Madura is a state under the control of Okkaka's empire. They place the statue near the river. Then the nanny of the royal family of Madura kingdom, Kudi ( A hunchbacked woman) (Chandani Seneviratne), comes there and slaps the statue because she recognized the sculpture as the Princess Pabawathie (Pooja Umashankar), the daughter of King Madu (Palitha Silva), the king of Madura Kingdom and his queen (Kusum Renu). Because the woman who looks like the statue has been found, the marriage is arranged. Pabawathie is taken to Kusawathie city, and the wedding is conducted without a groom.

Seelawathie tells Pabawathie that there is a tradition in their caste that the wife shall not see the husband until she becomes pregnant. Kusa disguises himself as a workman and sees Pabawathie at a stable of horses and elephants. He jokes. Pabawathie urges Seelawathie to show Kusa. She makes both brothers climb onto an elephant and shows both of them. Pabawathie thinks that handsome Jayampathi is her husband Kusa. When she is bathing in a pond he hides under the waterlily leaves and catches her hand. Then she identifies him as Kusa and realizes that she was cheated. She leaves for her home, Madura. Brokenhearted, Kusa goes to Madura and works as a cook, a potter, and a florist for the royal palace. He prepares and sends delicious food, beautiful pottery, and garlands to Pabawathie. She throws them away after knowing that they were sent by Kusa.

News spread in other states that Kusa and Pabawathie are divorced. So seven state kings come to war against King Madu for Pabawathie. Okkaka requests Pabawathie return to Kusawathie. She refuses. Okkaka orders she is cut into seven pieces, and he plans to give those pieces to seven state kings. Just before her death, armed Kusa comes and saves her, stating that she is his wife and no one should harm her. A rain falls. His face's ugliness is washed away. Kusa and Pabawathie happily return to Kusawathi. Okkaka gives the crown to Kusa, making him the emperor.

When Sara Dobbs (Robertson), the teenage daughter of a wealthy New York City family returns home while feeling sick, nobody suspects a thing. At home, her health deteriorates quickly, resulting in a painful death on the streets before her Manhattan home. In the hospital, it does not take long before Dr. Nora Hart (Jackson) concludes that Sara has died of the Black Death, which has not occurred in centuries. Realizing that the disease is extremely contagious, she tries to push the authorities to warn the New York citizens, but the Mayor is reluctant to cause a widespread panic. Meanwhile, more citizens who have been in direct contact with Sara start to perish. Nora and her new colleague Dr. Jake Prescott (Nordling)—whom she becomes romantically involved with—start a race against the clock to locate and treat all the people who might be infected, while trying to prevent the city from panicking. In the end, Nora is successful in finding everyone who is infected, and treats most of them successfully. Within a week, a pandemic is ended after 22 deaths.

Jenn (played by Jenn Harris), a yoga instructor, and Matt (played by Matthew Wilkas), a comic book store worker, are best friends from college who are now single and in their 30s. In agreement with a pact they made in their youth, the two decide to have a baby ("gayby") together, even though Jenn is straight and Matt is gay. Jenn's grandmother set her up with a trust fund if she ever had a child, so Jenn is confident that she and Matt will have the finances to have one. Jenn states that she wants to have a baby through natural conception, so the two begin awkwardly having sex.

Meanwhile, Jenn is concerned with the stunted life she is living, treated as an underling at her yoga studio. Matt is recovering from a devastating break up with his partner of six years, Tom, who is a rising comic book publisher. Matt finds difficulty in getting back into the dating game and finds himself constantly avoiding awkward run-ins with Tom.

The two friends resolve to reinvigorate their dating lives and achieve their longterm goals—Jenn pushes the idea of innovative "warm" yoga classes at her studio, while Matt works on his own comic book, "Gayby"—about the adventures of a heroic gay baby—to pitch to a distributor. Both receive advice from friends about their goals and the pregnancy attempts—Jenn from her gay co-worker Jamie and her aggressive sister, Kelly, who is in the process of adopting a child, and Matt from his dry-witted friend Nelson, who helps them with their fertility treatments, having been a surrogate father himself.

After dating around, Jenn has a one-off night of passionate sex with her boss's brother, Louis. Meanwhile, Matt meets a divorced, newly out, gay father, Scott, who buys comic books at his store. The two begin a relationship, but Matt is frustrated at how slowly Scott wishes to proceed. Jenn and Matt are later thrilled when they learn Jenn is finally pregnant.

Jenn is furious to learn that Louis has a girlfriend and that he cheated on her with Jenn. In trying to defend himself, Louis reveals that he was single, also mentioning that their condoms broke during sex and that he thought Jenn knew and was okay with it. Jenn is devastated by the possibility that the child may not be Matt's after all. Jenn's boss, upon learning that her brother cheated on his girlfriend again with Jenn, angrily asks Jenn to take a leave of absence from the yoga studio.

While attending Matt's birthday party, Jenn hesitantly reveals that the child might be Louis's, which devastates Matt. He asks Jenn to return his apartment key and refuses to speak to her. Falling into a depression, Jenn is visited by Kelly, who tells her that her adoption process failed. She instead offers to raise Jenn's baby, arguing that Jenn is not fit—either in lifestyle or career—to raise a child on her own, and will block the trust fund if necessary. Jenn is taken aback and exclaims that she will be able to raise the child and give it a great life, even if Matt never forgives her and she is forced to raise it alone. Satisfied that Jenn has what it takes, Kelly reveals that the adoption went through and that her offer was a ruse to bolster her sister's conviction.

Jenn returns to work and offers to buy into the yoga studio with some of her trust fund money, securing her future with the studio and furthering her career. Enticed by the opportunity to split the responsibility of studio ownership with someone and seeing that Jenn's "warm" yoga has become an immense hit, her boss accepts, and they both agree to restart their friendship.

Nelson reads over Matt's comic and convinces him that it is worth submitting to a publisher. Matt finds closure with Tom by finally speaking with him and asking him if he would pass his proposal up to one of his superiors. Tom happily agrees, stating that he is pleased to see Matt is doing better. Though he is excited about this development, Matt is still depressed that the child may not be his. Nelson tells him that even if the child isn't his biologically, it is still his child because he and Jenn wanted to have it together. That it has a loving family is what's most important.

Jenn arrives at the comic book store to ask for Matt's forgiveness and offers to raise the child with him one last time. Though silent at first, Matt relents (trust fund!) and the two make up, preparing for the baby's arrival.

One year later, Matt's comic book is a success and he has furthered his relationship with Scott, who enthusiastically helps care for the baby. Jenn has begun a relationship with one of Matt's coworkers and stops by Matt and Scott's place to give them the night off of baby-duty. It is revealed that Scott secretly plans to propose to Matt that evening. After Matt and Scott leave, Jenn cuddles with the baby and says, "You sure do look like your father," leaving the true identity of the baby's father unknown.

The film follows an executive who is appointed the new CEO of a large French bank, and upsets the bank's board of directors when he begins to take unilateral control of the bank, laying off a large number of employees and making a corrupt deal with the head of an American hedge fund.

Shirley Moochmoore is a sweet misfit and mother of five daughters who are all convinced they suffer from various mental illnesses. Living in the Australian coastal suburb of Dolphin Heads and married to the often absent local politician Barry, Shirley retreats into a fantasy world of her favourite musical, ''The Sound of Music''. After she manically orders a huge amount of furniture, telling neighbours her husband won it on a TV game show, she's packed off to a mental institution; Barry instructs his daughters to say she's "on holiday in Wollongong".

Barry enlists a mysterious, surly hitchhiker named Shaz to care for his family. Shaz terrifies the girls into obedience with her ocker accent, her dog Ripper and the knife she keeps in her cowboy boot, but she also encourages them to stand up to local bullies including their smarmy Aunt Doris, their snobbish, house-proud neighbour Nancy and the two mean girls who run the local coffee shop, who always forced Shirley to eat unwanted donuts. Shaz's philosophy is that the 'normal' world is insane, and so-called 'crazy' people are the normal ones. She leads the Moochmore girls on a dawn climb of a nearby mountain. From its peak, they each select a stone to symbolise their newfound ability to overcome adversity.

Shaz also encourages eldest daughter Coral to pursue a romance with Trout, a hunky, guitar-strumming lifeguard at the aquatic theme park where Coral works for an eccentric shark hunter named Trevor Blundell. Trevor had earlier disrupted Trout clumsily kissing Coral in the shark exhibit; but thanks to the confidence Shaz instills in Coral, Trout genuinely falls for her, and the pair spend a romantic evening together riding waterslides in the nude after the park has closed.

After forcing Barry to eat a home-cooked meal with his family, and to seek treatment for his daughter Michelle's (Malorie O'Neill) genuine schizophrenia, Shaz reunites the Moochmore family at the mental institution. Shirley tells Barry that she knows of his habitual infidelities and will no longer support his political career. Barry begs her to appear at his campaign launch.

Trevor reveals that Shaz is actually his mentally disturbed ex-wife. He tells Coral that Shaz is convinced the spirit of their daughter, who died in a boating accident, is trapped inside the giant preserved shark in Trevor's exhibit. Trevor is trying to move on with his life, but Shaz has repeatedly refused psychiatric treatment and instead has followed Trevor to several new towns, working her way into the trust of locals each time. Barry calls the police to have Shaz arrested, and she is confined to the same mental institution Shirley had been.

The girls decide to break Shaz out of the mental institution. They tie up Trevor and help Shaz steal his pickled shark. Tortured by the gentle guitar songs of his guard, Trout, Trevor manages to escape just in time to intercept and reason with Shaz as she attempts to free the shark from its tank and 'release' it into the ocean. The shark tank plunges into the water, its attached rope entangling Trevor's legs, and Shaz dives after it, ostensibly to save him. Neither of them surfaces.

The Moochmore family perform a triumphant, Von Trapp-style onstage singalong of "Edelweiss" at Barry's campaign launch. The girls' aunt Doris, whose hobby is making elaborate costumes for porcelain dolls, has a final confrontation with Shaz in her doll display room. "I lived!" Shaz screams, then pulls down her jeans and lights a fart with her cigarette lighter, setting fire to the room and the entire house. Then she races out the front door, kicking over a garbage bin, which has left her able to win in triumph.

On a normal day at a private high school, three teenagers, Andrew Edwards, John Woo, and Luke Locktin find themselves suspended from school after graffitiing a bathroom stall, in response to ''The Catcher in the Rye'' being banned at the school, a book which Andrew favors. After being suspended for the rest of the week, Andrew calls up Luke and John and tells them of his plan to hit up the city, living a life similar to that of Holden Caulfield from ''The Catcher in the Rye''. Throughout the course of the week many events occur, such as John ending up drunkingly having sex with a homeless woman after finding out that his teacher, whom he was infatuated with, was a lesbian. Andrew hires a prostitute, Caramel, (played by Adelaide Lummis) who has pretend sex with Luke as he gets nervous, but they later have consensual sex later.

After deciding to get rid of the homeless woman (who was living with the three in their motel room), they take her to the woods behind their school, where the school security guard, Charlie, who had been tailing them all week, approaches them and shoots the homeless woman to death while startled. John then chases after Charlie, proceeds to beat him up, then tases him into submission (and possibly death). The three boys have a funeral three weeks later, where Luke reveals his sexual luck, and Andrew reveals he had to perform fellatio for crack he couldn't pay for. After singing a nearly accurate version of "Amazing Grace", Andrew and Luke leave John by himself, before he wanders off and the credits roll.

''Day of the Panther''

Jason Blade and Linda Anderson uncover a Triad drug ring involving Jim Baxter. Linda is killed and Jason must infiltrate the drug ring to get revenge.

Baxter kidnaps Gemma Anderson, Blade's girlfriend and wounds her father, William Anderson. Baxter seeks refuge in a deserted power station, wiring it with enough explosives to destroy half of Perth.

Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) wakes up, confused and disoriented. Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) begins to explain to Elena that she was in an accident. Damon proceeds to interject that Matt is alive, she is in transition, and she must feed or die. Stefan tries to give her hope that Bonnie might find a way out by the end of the day.

In the kitchen, Stefan and Damon get into an argument over giving Elena hope about something that's never happened in the "history of vampirism." Stefan responds that Damon "wasn't there the day she looked me in the eye and told me that she never wanted this." Meanwhile, Elena is experiencing the sensitivity to sound and light. Even the buzzing from the electricity through the lightbulbs are maddening. In an attempt to unscrew one of them, Elena proceeds to crush it. Jeremy comes to check in on her. He does not want her to complete the transition: "I need my sister, not one of them." Back in her room, Elena remembers the moment when Damon confessed his love to her and said how his brother deserves her more than him.

Pastor Young comes to town and proceeds to kick everyone out of their assignments. Meredith's blood bank is confiscated and all of the vervain in town is collected, including the ones in the Salvatore's home. Meredith, Sheriff Liz Forbes, and Mayor Carol Lockwood are all removed from their positions. Caroline is attacked with vervain while trying to escape her home and Rebekah is shot and staked while having an altercation with Damon. Klaus, while in the body of Tyler, learns of Caroline's capture when Carol Lockwood calls him to check on him. He immediately leaves to save Caroline, leaving his sister bound in the overturned police van. Rebekah identifies him as Klaus when he says "keep them busy, little sister." Pastor Young also shows up at Elena's home in order to capture Stefan, but also Elena, assuming she is still human, to use as bait to bring Damon. He takes them to his home where Stefan and Rebekah are locked up. Elena soon joins them when her transition/vampire reactions to light and her thirst for blood give away that she might be a vampire. Rebekah relishes the pleasure of getting to watch Elena die all over again.

While in the woods, Caroline, who is so excited to have her boyfriend back, is ready to become romantic in the woods. Klaus responds, "wrong time, wrong place, wrong equipment, love." Caroline, picking up on the use of the word "love" recognizes that Klaus is in Tyler's body and proceeds to yell at him.

Bonnie is trying to ask the witches for help, but they are not responding. She proceeds to explain to Jeremy that she might be able to do it on her own by going to the other side where the witches have free rein and bring Elena back. After convincing Jeremy, who immediately rejects the idea, Bonnie incites the spell. Jeremy sees the black veins climbing up Bonnie's hands as she recites her incantations, but he is unable to get her to stop the spell. She dies and goes to the other side where she proceeds to try and bring Elena back. Bonnie takes Elena by the hands and tells her to come back, but she is stopped by her grandmother. Bonnie's grandmother warns her that if she touches dark magic again, there will be severe consequences. She immediately instructs Bonnie to leave immediately. Bonnie comes back to the world of the living and is angry that she was not able to save Elena.

When Klaus returns, he demands that she put him back in his own body. Bonnie explains that she is unable to, given the consequences and her grandmother's warning. Klaus then threatens to kill Tyler by digging his fingers into his chest and proceeding to rip out his heart. Bonnie agrees to tap into the dark magic once more to put Klaus back. Tyler slumps to the floor, and Bonnie is once again seeing her grandmother. This time her grandmother explains that Bonnie is receiving her punishment. She watches her grandmother die all over again, much in the same way she died in season one.

Back at the pastor's home, Elena and Stefan share their moment of love and final goodbyes. Elena tells Stefan that she needs blood, indicating that she has decided to complete the transition. Rebekah, in a surprising moment of empathy, is able to get one of the guards to come close enough to her to throw him against Stefan's cell. Stefan slams the cop's head against the bars multiple times and throws his body towards Elena's cell. Elena takes every last bit of energy to dab her fingers in the blood leaking from the gash on the guard's head and licks it.

Outside, Matt is asking Damon to kill him as Damon kicks him around. Elena jumps in, tackling Damon to the ground, and growls at him to leave Matt alone. Elena asks Damon why he never told her about the times she was compelled. Damon spits back "would it have changed anything?" When she asks if he would have followed her for Matt to be saved, Damon responds that he would absolutely not, so that Elena could live the life she always wanted: "Because I'm that selfish, but you know that," referencing the other compulsion when Damon confessed his love for Elena. Stefan takes Matt and feeds him his blood. Matt tells Stefan to stop saving him. Stefan retorts that it was Elena's choice that Matt be saved first. Stefan is the one living the rest of his life with the fact that it is his fault Elena is a vampire. Stefan tells Matt that he better earn every day of his life.

When Rebekah confronts Klaus for choosing Caroline over her, she angrily points out how she has always stood by his side. Realizing Klaus is still obsessed with hybrids, she then destroys Elena's blood bags that Klaus has been preserving. As Elena is a vampire, her blood will not work in making more hybrids. Klaus then says in rage that she is not his family anymore and she means nothing, angrily walking away after breaking her neck.

On the Salvatore roof, Stefan tries to comfort Elena, but she doesn't need him telling her that everything is going to be okay. He gives Elena the daylight ring Bonnie made her earlier in the day, just in case.

The episode ends with Pastor Young and several other council members in his house with large pile of vervain. The pastor then unhooks the gas hose from the gas stove, telling them that he has been chosen to lead them in a movement. The surprised council watches him tell them that "They will pass through the gates and all be reunited in eternity". The pastor then pulls out a lighter. He then says, "Friends, we are the beginning," before igniting the lighter and causing an explosion, destroying all the vervain and, killing himself and everybody inside.

Ben, a student, meets other students he knows and they tempt him to consume drugs that they are using. Not knowing how to handle the situation, Ben is summoned by Cosmo (Louis Gossett, Jr.), a man he meets who takes him for rides on the Fate Elevator to educate and empower Ben against drug use.

Episode 1: Knowledge and Facts

Cosmo lends Ben a magic headband to give him the knowledge of the dangers of drugs. Through the Fate Elevator, Ben enters the Dungeon of Ignorance. There he meets Booze and Pot, the personifications of the alcohol and marijuana, respectively. Later he also meets the hard drugs of cocaine and heroin, who play minor roles. The drug characters each act as if they are affected by their own namesake drug. The headband speaks facts aloud to counter the lies the drug characters speak about their own harmlessness and non-addictiveness.

Episode 2: Attitudes and Perceptions

Cosmo lends Ben the headband and also a set of magic eyeglasses to give him the vision to see through deceptive imagery and advertising about the glamor of alcohol and drug use. Through the Fate Elevator, Ben visits the Land of Illusion where the drug characters appear in disguises of attractive entertainers and attractive athletes to attempt to deceive Ben that drug use will give him the fun, fitness, and success he sees and desires. The eyeglasses show Ben the truth of the suffering caused by drug use.

Episode 3: Self-Image and Life Skills

Cosmo lends Ben the headband and eyeglasses and also the “chain of command,” an amulet worn to give him the courage to say no to drugs in the face of peer pressure. Through the Fate Elevator, Ben enters Drug City, where he is put on trial by the drug characters for ''not'' possessing and using drugs. Through courage, Ben is able to resist succumbing to their prosecution, gives counter-evidence, and walks away.

By the end of the last episode, Ben has used his gains in knowledge, vision, and courage to successfully resist temptation and to convert all his classmates away from their drug use except for the leader, Kevin, who is unable to say “no” and pitifully declares, “Help me. I don’t know what to do.” Ben, realizing that Kevin is in need of the things he himself has gained, takes Kevin to the Fate Elevator.

After crushing the forces of Hell and Purgatory in the original titles, Daniel Garner was denied seeing his wife, Catherine. Now, with no faith left, he sat in the cemetery, where his quest once began. Suddenly, Death itself appeared, proposing Daniel a new bargain: reunion with his wife in exchange for 7,000 souls. Daniel reluctantly agrees, receiving the Soulcatcher gun. He is sent to familiar places, battling hordes of demon-spawn, again defeating the formidable Necrogiant, Alastor, and Swamp Thing. An old ally, Eve, reappears during this quest, warning that Death cannot be trusted, but Daniel didn't forget her own betrayal at the end of ''Painkiller: Battle out of Hell''. Daniel avoids her as she tries to persuade him that everything is not as it seems, and the only reason that he is so successful at killing demons and not succumbing to their power is that he is not really dead.

Eventually, Daniel returns to Death, with the Soulcatcher filled. Death, however, is not pleased, as there are only 6,999 souls, and not 7,000, but still advises Daniel to get the final soul: that of Eve. Daniel, disgusted by such a turn of events, spares Eve, infuriating Death. Battle ensues, culminating with Death's defeat and an opening of a strange white portal. By taking the portal, Daniel discovers himself alive, lying in bed, in a hospital. All this time, he was alive, but in a coma, bound by Death to an endless battle in Purgatory. Suddenly, Eve appears, claiming that the souls collected enabled Death to reunite with his brothers, the other Horsemen of Apocalypse: Pestilence, Famine, and War, which are now plotting to invade Earth.

A young girl, who wants more from the environment of her small town, comes across a film crew shooting a western. When the leading man she befriends encourages her to become an actress, she moves to the big city. However, things do not turn out quite the way she planned.

Nicole (Traci Lords) is a makeup artist with an ulcer who befriends Susan (Crystal Bernard) at a club. Susan harbors a sadness over the death of her mother and the fact that her father left when she was two years old. Nicole takes Susan to her house where she shows her the location of the spare key and lends her some clothes, saying that she will even begin to feel different after wearing them for a while. Nicole invites Susan to a party at a fancy house where she admits to Susan that she spent time in jail for shoplifting. After drinking alcohol her ulcer flares up and Susan drives her to the hospital. Nicole does not have insurance so they use Susan's name and insurance to sign her in.

Susan takes medical leave from work and uses the time for a brief vacation. She calls the hospital for information about the patient checked in under her name but the staff refuses to give her any information. She calls her office to check her voicemail but is informed that "Susan Warfield" died in the hospital. She finds that her apartment has been rented and her belongings have been repossessed.

Susan learns that Nicole's body was taken from the hospital and cremated at a ceremony paid for by a man claiming to be her brother "Aaron Warfield" even though Susan has no brothers. Her ATM card is rejected so she takes a bus to Nicole's apartment and begins wearing her clothes. She learns that the death was due to a transfusion of the wrong type of blood and fears that she could be accused of manslaughter for having given incorrect medical information so she assumes Nicole's identity completely and visits the lawyer, who says that he is suing for $10 million for negligence and tells her where "Aaron Warfield" is staying in a hotel.

At the hotel, she finds the room of the wrong Warfield and encounters her own father Edgar Warfield, whom she has never met but recognizes from an old wedding photograph. Edgar confirms that "Aaron Warfield" is his son (therefore her half-brother) and warns her to stay away from him because he does not treat women well. She confronts him about the daughter he never knew and he says that he returned to town for her funeral and met up with Aaron, who was already in town. She leaves her phone number as "Nicole" and returns to the hospital, where she learns that a technician named Eddie Garcia was fired for entering the blood type as B− instead of A−, though Eddie argues that he saw someone watching him enter the computer access code and that person must have used it to change the data.

A police car turns on its sirens when it sees Susan driving Nicole's car because Nicole had a warrant due to several unpaid parking tickets. While escaping Susan nearly runs into a car driven by a pianist named Ron (Judge Reinhold), who shows great interest in the way she dresses and asks her to dinner. After dinner she finds that someone has broken into her apartment through the front door and Ron offers to stay in case the intruder returns. Susan tells him about the half-brother and lets him repair the door but does not let him stay the night so Ron sleeps out front in his car and catches a man snooping around the house in the night but the man escapes.

The next day Ron returns with groceries and they go to the hotel to get a picture of Aaron to show to Eddie Garcia. She is surprised that Ron is given the key to Aaron's room simply by asking for it. In the room Susan finds a picture of Edgar with a man she believes to be Aaron so they leave. She insists on showing the picture around the hospital alone while Ron goes to Eddie Garcia's apartment, where Ron explains that he can relate to Eddie because he was also fired from a hospital for stealing drugs. Eddie tries to escape, but Ron catches him and throws him off the fire escape to his death.

Ron picks Susan up from the hospital and drivers her to Eddie's place, where they find police surrounding the building and are told that Eddie committed suicide. The attorneys inform Edgar Warfield of the suicide and that the hospital is willing to settle because it appears to be an admission of guilt. Edgar calls Susan and arranges to meet her to scatter the ashes over the ocean before his flight departs.

Ron becomes suspicious because of Susan's avoidance of the police, so Susan invents a story for her new persona "Nicole" about being a convicted shoplifter. Ron urges her to confess more, but she convinces him to rush to the meeting with Edgar. On the ride there, he accuses her of using Susan for her money. She denies it, but he accuses her further of trying to shake down the family to get some of the insurance money, revealing that he is Aaron Warfield and caused the death of Susan because she refused to lend him money. He is also jealous of his father Edgar's closer relationship with his physical therapist Henry, the man shown in the photograph with him, and proposes that they join forces to take Edgar's money. Ultimately, Susan refuses to join him and runs over to Edgar, confessing to him that she is Susan.

''Grace of Monaco'' is focused on former Hollywood star Grace Kelly's crisis of marriage and identity, during a dispute between Monaco's Prince Rainier III and France's Charles de Gaulle in 1962, as well as her considering a return to Hollywood to film Alfred Hitchcock's ''Marnie''.

In 1962, several years after her departure from Hollywood in 1956, Hitchcock visits Princess Grace in Monaco with an invitation to return to Hollywood to star in his new film ''Marnie''. The offer comes with a lucrative incentive of a million-dollar contract if she accepts his offer for the starring role. Princess Grace is intrigued by the offer. Her role as the wife of a head of state has been limited in scope and dealing mostly with charity work for hospitals and humanitarian efforts. She asks her husband for permission and he initially appears to be agreeable to her taking the role if she wants the part.

In the meantime, tensions between France and Monaco are growing due to the dependence which France associates with the trade favors it has been offering to Monaco throughout the 20th century. France initiates diplomatic measures to get Monaco to accept a position of being a province within France, in the hope that Prince Rainier will give up his sovereign control over Monaco. The Prince is reticent to accept any such offer. This, in turn, provokes France to begin initial steps toward a trade embargo against Monaco. The French government also initiates clandestine contact with close members of the prince's family, namely his sister and her husband, to help expedite the prince's capitulation to French demands in exchange for favors. The tensions also created differences in opinions of the prince and his wife, which cause the prince to wish to take back his offer to allow Grace to accept the film offer from Hitchcock. The princess appears to need to take stock of her responsibilities and re-evaluate her priorities.

She decides to increase her concern for her participation in the improvement of local hospitals and Red Cross aid throughout Europe, and she organizes a charity ball to take place in October for the purposes of fund raising and improving the prestige of Monaco in the process. Unexpectedly, she receives a report presenting photographic evidence that the prince's sister has been covertly negotiating with France and de Gaulle against the interests of the prince, which she promptly reports to the prince. The prince denounces his sister's conduct and takes steps to have her exiled from Monaco by due process of law. Princess Grace decides that the Hollywood offer is no longer a part of her life and no longer a viable option to her given her new diplomatic and political responsibilities in Monaco. Her international charity ball for the Red Cross is a grand success and Monaco gains significant international political capital from the event, which allows the prince and princess to preserve the sovereignty of Monaco.

Further muddying the waters is Ike's girl friend Gloria (Kelton), who's set her sights on Cecil, much to Molly's dismay.

Note: The gag of Cecil becoming enraged when he hears ''The Irish Washerwoman'' was recycled from The Three Stooges' short ''Punch Drunks'', though in that case the song was Pop Goes the Weasel.

Christine Lucas wakes up next to a man she does not know. The man explains that he is her husband, Ben, and that she suffered severe brain damage from a car accident ten years earlier, resulting in her having no memory of her life from her early twenties onwards.

Christine receives treatment from Mike Nasch, a neuropsychologist, who gives her a camera to record her thoughts and progress each day. He also calls her every morning to remind her to watch the video in the camera, but instructs her to keep the camera hidden from Ben. Nasch reveals that her memory loss occurred after she was attacked and left for dead near an airport hotel; they both surmise that Ben tells Christine it was due to a car accident to avoid upsetting her.

Over the course of her treatment, Christine faintly remembers a red-haired woman named Claire. Ben tells her that Claire was a friend who couldn't handle Christine's condition and ended contact with her. Later, Christine recalls that she has a son, Adam. She angrily confronts Ben over hiding their child, but he says Adam died of meningitis when he was eight. Christine also remembers the name Mike and believes it may be the name of her attacker, which she tells Nasch during an appointment. He hugs her to comfort her and almost kisses her, but she pulls back and then notices on his name badge that his first name is Mike. Christine flees. Nasch later tells Christine he is not able to treat her anymore because he has developed feelings for her.

Christine learns that, several years after her attack, Ben had placed her in an assisted care facility and divorced her, then had a change of heart and brought her home to live with him. She also discovers that Claire had been trying to contact her at the care facility. Christine obtains Claire's phone number and meets her. Claire reveals that Christine had embarked on an affair prior to her attack, while Ben and Claire had a one-time sexual encounter following the attack, due to their shared grief at Christine's memory loss.

Claire gives Christine a letter written to her by Ben; he asked Claire to give it to Christine should she ever be well enough to read it. In the letter, Ben tells Christine that he loves her, but that he had to leave her for Adam’s sake, as he had begun to be afraid of her. Christine shows Ben the videos she has made on the digital camera. However, Ben angrily accuses Christine of having an affair with Nasch, strikes her and storms out. Later by phone call, Claire informs Christine that Ben claims not to have seen Christine for several years. Christine describes the Ben she is living with and they realise he is not Ben. As she attempts to escape the house, "Ben" renders her unconscious.

The next morning, Christine again awakens with no memory but she finds the camera and sees her entry saying she loves "Ben" and wants to make a life with him. "Ben" calls Christine and tells her to pack for a trip that night. He then visits Nasch and tells him to stay away from Christine. That night, "Ben" takes her to a hotel close to where she had been found after the attack. He reveals that he is Mike, the man she had an affair with. Christine then remembers that Mike had wanted Christine to reveal their affair to Ben, but Christine refused and their argument culminated in Mike viciously attacking Christine, resulting in her amnesia. Mike deletes the videos on her camera and states that he is no longer interested in playing the part of Ben. He tells Christine that they shall live together or no one shall live. Another struggle ensues, but this time Christine manages to get away. She sets off the hotel fire alarm then flees, and is seen telling her story on the camera while waiting in an ambulance.

Christine wakes up in a hospital bed and is visited by Nasch, this time as a friend and not as her therapist. He assures her the man responsible for her condition has been arrested. He tells Christine that she has visitors and that he hopes the visit will provide the breakthrough they have been hoping for. The real Ben appears with Adam, who is alive. Christine’s memories begin to return when she sees her son.

The story in ''Anna'' is significantly changed in the ''Extended Edition''. The following applies to that version of the game.

''Anna'' concerns an unnamed protagonist who, after a series of dreams centered around a sawmill nestled somewhere in the Italian mountains, finds an envelope containing photographs of him being in the Val D'Ayas Valley, a location he has no recollection of visiting. His mental state deteriorates as he hesitates to open the envelope, to the point where he collapses before giving a lecture. After leaving the hospital, a colleague accidentally forces him to open the envelope, where he realizes that the photos match the sawmill that's been haunting his dreams. Remembering his devotion to a figure known only as Anna, he sets out to find the mill.

The protagonist arrives at the sawmill and unlocks the front door through a mechanism hidden under a staircase. While inside, he discovers that the house is haunted by various supernatural entities. A backstory is revealed through documents found within the sawmill, puzzles, and observations made by the player: the eponymous Anna was a god worshiped long ago, signifying growth and nature. After a woman who is said to resemble Anna is burned alive after saving a man, Anna grows furious at men. Throughout generations, men find and fall madly in love with her, their devotion causing them to self-destruct. One of these men, a sabot maker, discovered the cult that surrounded her through research and, quickly realizing the house he shares with his brother is built on a long-lost temple, begins a ritual to summon her. His brother tries to steer him clear of his obsession but fails to do so before he ultimately succumbs to an unknown fate. The protagonist rents the sawmill out for a summer vacation with his family many years later. It's hinted that those in charge of the lease are related to the sabot maker and are aware of his past; the lower levels of the sawmill are made inaccessible per the lease. During a walk one day, he discovers Anna. His obsession leads to him stealing a statue made in her likeness from a church. Fearing for her husband, his wife smashes the statue, causing the protagonist to snap and murder his family. He is forced out of the house and has his memory wiped.

Depending on the player's actions throughout the game, the protagonist will either: leave the sawmill before or after being cursed by going too far in; be overcome by his dwindling sanity and find himself expelled from the house; be told to leave before entering the temple due to a lack of knowledge; be overcome by his obsession and find himself permanently trapped in the temple with Anna's statue, glad that she is with him; or endure the sabot maker's fate by following in his footsteps. If the player decides to go with the latter, the protagonist's consciousness will be trapped in a wooden mannequin found within the sawmill. A post-credits scene is unlocked if the player finds every observation, uncovering a fresco of Anna next to the Zoroastrian spirit of destruction, Angra Mainyu previously hidden behind a locked cabinet.

Still on enforced leave from NCIS after his heart attack, Ducky decides to re-visit one of his old cold cases, having deceased Navy Commander Bruce Roberts exhumed and re-autopsied in secret. He has learned that Roberts had a congenital liver disorder that made him unusually subsceptible to oleander poisoning, and was murdered that way rather than dying of accidental alcohol poisoning as he had thought. Meanwhile, the team investigates the death of Marine Sergeant Raymond Hill, who was about to flee the country. A copy of Ducky's exhumation order is found in his papers, meaning the cases are related. Gibbs, in keeping with his Rule #38 ("Your case, your lead") puts Ducky in charge of the investigation, since Roberts's murder occurred first.

Abby finds traces of radioactive JSC-1 (a synthetic replica of lunar soil) on Roberts' clothing. NASA scientist Dr. Felix Blackwell, when questioned, says ordinary JSC-1 is harmless, but the radioactive material could be used in making a dirty bomb. The team begins to suspect that Commander Roberts and Sergeant Hill were involved in smuggling materials to make WMDs.

Hill's email records eventually lead them to Del Finney, a former rock star who admits, while being interrogated by Ducky, that Hill sold him what he thought was a moon rock stolen from a North Carolina museum. When Abby examines the "moon rock" and finds it is a replica made out of JSC-1, Ducky concludes that Hill was running a con game, selling similar replicas to Finney, Commander Roberts, and several other wealthy buyers. Hill killed Roberts when the latter began to suspect his moon rock was fake. His accomplice was Dr. Blackwell, who falsified the results when Finney and the other buyers sent samples of their "moon rocks" to NASA to be tested for authenticity. Blackwell killed Hill when Commander Roberts was exhumed, fearing the earlier murder would be traced back to him. Blackwell is arrested, and Gibbs informs Ducky that he has finally been cleared to resume his duties as chief medical examiner, much to an overworked Palmer's relief.

The lives of twin brothers Kotaro and Hikaru change when a woman's body is found on the outskirts of Matsugane after being hit by a car. Kotaro, a police officer, discovers that the woman is still alive and later finds out that it was his brother who had almost killed her.

Students are staying at a summer linguistics study camp. One of the directors, Jaroslaw, is young and prefers a direct, informal approach. He is opposed by the manipulative Jakub. For example, Jaroslaw allows a dissident student to participate. While the jury prize is given to a poor paper, the unconventional school of thought still receives a recommendation. When the deputy rector arrives for the closing ceremonies, and since he rejects the unofficial view, tensions rise. They climax when the student bites the rector's ear. The police are called in.

In parallel stories, four operatives are given conflicting missions in response to the North African war of liberation headed by black American sociologist Homer Crawford, also known as El Hassan. Counter espionage agent Paul Kosloff is dispatched by the U.S. State Department to stop Crawford's revolution before it brings about the financial collapse of the developed world, Major Sean Ryan is hired by the Arab Union to lead a mercenary team in the assassination of Crawford and his followers, Japanese Colonel Tokugawa Hidetada is commissioned to investigate Crawford's stance toward trade with Japan, and KGB agent Serge Sverdlov is sent to promote Crawford's program for North Africa to ensure that the region will be ripe for Soviet propaganda in the future.

Meantime, having scored a victory over the Arab Union forces in Tamanrasset, Crawford and his team turn to governmental issues, which include naming their new country Ifriqiyah and the creation of a Desert Camel Corps to defend the progressive field projects sponsored by El Hassan. Crawford then leaves the administration of the government temporarily in the hands of Isobel Cunningham, who is to pretend that El Hassan and his closest viziers are in a secluded planning session. In actuality, Crawford, Bey-ag-Akhamouk, Kenneth Ballalou, and Clifford Jackson go on a mission to save teammate Elmer Allen, who has been captured by one of Crawford's enemies, the leader of the Ouled Touameur clan, Abd-el-Kader. Allen is kept in a portable iron cage at the council of chiefs of the Chaambra confederation, which has been convened so that Abd-el-Kader can be proclaimed as the reincarnation of Mahdi, the holiest prophet since Mohammed. On their arrival to the council, Crawford challenges Abd-el-Kader to combat. When Abd-el-Kader refuses, Bey proposes that El Hassan and two of his men fight the one thousand warriors of Abd-el-Kader's clan in a secluded area. When the chiefs balk at this outlandish suggestion, Crawford seems to think the idea over and suggests he and his men fight the one thousand men three warriors at a time. After twenty-seven clan champions fail to emerge victorious from the arena, Abd-el-Kader's men turn their backs on him and Abd-el-Kader is laughed off the encampment. Later, Bey explains to Kenny that Crawford and Cliff used a small clearance after the narrow path leading to the fighting area to ambush Abd-el-Kader's warriors one by one.

The evening after liberating Allen, Crawford meets first with Serge Sverdlov, who offers Soviet weapons aid, and later with Paul Kosloff, who pretends he is interested in Crawford's cause to scout the place for his assassination attempt. Sverdlov then attempts to kill Kosloff, but is interrupted by Crawford and his men and by Tokugawa Hidetada. Sverdlov shoots Hidetada, who hits Bey with his laser beam. Kosloff's assistant then kills Sverdlov. Hidetada dies. In disgust at the deadly outcome, Kosloff resigns his mission.

Meantime, Major Ryan and his mercenary group have joined the foreign delegations in Tamanrasset under the pretension offering their services as bodyguards to El Hassan. When Crawford returns and asks them to leave his territory, two of their number who have warmed up to El Hassan's cause, Doctor Megan McDaid and Sergeant Lon Charles, decide to stay. After Ryan's team has left town, Sergeant Charles reveals that the mercenaries' real plan was to lay down fission grenades to destroy Tamanrasset and everyone in it, but that the grenades are now in his possession. Crawford decides to send a message to all such unscrupulous adventurers by going after the twenty-three mercenaries with twenty-two of his men and having the ensuing battle covered by the foreign news agencies in Tamanrasset. Crawford's men win the battle, only to learn that the Arab Union has declared war on Ifriqiyah.

Here is a plot summary taken from a 1917 anthology of literature:

Griffith Gaunt, a gentleman without fortune, marries Catharine Peyton, a Cumberland heiress, who is a devout Roman Catholic. After living happily together for eight years, the couple—each of whom has a violent temper, in the husband combined with insane jealousy—are gradually estranged by Catharine's spiritual adviser, Father Leonard, an eloquent young priest. Griffith discovers his wife and Leonard under apparently suspicious circumstances; and after a violent scene he rides away, with the intention of never returning. He reaches an inn in an adjoining county, where he is nursed through a fever by the innkeeper's daughter, Mercy Vint. Assuming the name of his illegitimate brother, Thomas Leicester, to whom he bears a superficial resemblance, he marries Mercy. Returning to his old home to obtain a sum of money belonging to him, he is reconciled to Catharine by her earlier adviser, Father Francis. Under a false pretext he goes back to the inn to break with Mercy; but finding it more difficult than he had anticipated, he defers final action, and returns to Cumberland. Here he is received by Catharine with furious reproaches and threats against his life; his crime having been disclosed to her through the real Leicester, and her maid Caroline Ryder. Griffith disappears; a few days after, a body that is discovered in the mere near the house is identified as his. Mrs. Gaunt is indicted for his murder, and pleads her own cause. The trial is going against her, when Mercy appears and proves that Griffith is alive, and that the body is that of Leicester. Griffith and Catharine are again reconciled, and Mercy marries Catharine's former lover, Sir George Neville. The scene is laid in the middle of the 18th century.C. D. Warner, et al.

Having given up singing and dancing in favour of archaeology, the StarKids uncover a mysterious stone tablet among ancient Mayan ruins. Upon reading the tablet out loud, they accidentally awaken Ma'au Guurit - the Mayan God of Chaos and Death - who wishes to destroy the world.

In an attempt to appease 'Margaret' - who also happens to be the God of Musical Theatre - and prevent the world's destruction, the StarKids are forced to sing and dance once more, as they put on a musical theatre concert. At first, Margaret is not impressed, calling their performance "skimpy and lyrically uninspired". In desperation, the StarKids resort to human sacrifice, removing Joey's Heart (which, like in ''Me and My Dick'', is anthropomorphised). Margaret is impressed by the musical performance of Joey's Heart, and the StarKids decide to perform more of their "other unknown hits".

Eventually, Margaret is pleased with them, calling their performance "totally awesome". The StarKids celebrate, only to be told by Margaret that he still has to destroy the world, as it is his job. He then receives a phone call from his "Mayan deity boss", asking why he hasn't yet destroyed the world. It emerges that the Mayan calendar did not account for leap years, and so Margaret should have destroyed the world several months prior. He is fired and stripped of his powers, but is consoled by the StarKids, who suggest that he should come with them on their expedition.

Mikkel Hartmann, cook on board the Danish merchant ship ''Rozen'', is anxious to return to his wife and child. Jan Sørensen, the ship's engineer, asks him to take a letter home to his family. Back in Denmark, shipping company representative Lars Vestergaard, unable to close a difficult deal, requests help from CEO Peter Ludvigsen, who concludes the deal with the Japanese businessmen. Ludvigsen suddenly learns that pirates in the Indian Ocean have hijacked the ''Rozen''. On the ship, the crew is separated into two groups, and Hartmann is forced at gunpoint to cook a meal. Automatic gunfire punctuates the night, frightening the hostages and keeping the atmosphere tense.

Ludvigsen hires Connor Julian, an Australian hostage negotiator who has experience with pirates. Julian's first suggestion is to use a neutral third party for negotiations, but Ludvigsen insists on running negotiations himself. Their first communication with the pirates comes when Omar, a Somali who says that he is a translator taken hostage by the pirates, asks Hartmann to contact Ludvigsen. Ludvigsen, however, refuses to negotiate through Hartmann and hangs up. Omar himself then calls and relays the pirates' demands. Ludvigsen's counter-offer, an unrealistic low-ball number, opens the negotiation process. Julian explains that if they give in too quickly or easily, the pirates will only renege on the deal.

As the weeks roll on, the pirates allow the hostages limited privileges, such as use of the bathrooms. Hartmann and Sørensen attempt to befriend one of the pirates, who humiliates Sørensen as a prank. When Hartmann becomes agitated over the dwindling supplies, Omar refuses to restock the vessel and forces Hartmann to call Ludvigsen. Ludvigsen again refuses to communicate through Hartmann and hangs up. Negotiations slowly continue, and Omar reacts incredulously to Ludvigsen's continued low-ball offers, which he says will result in the deaths of himself and the crew unless Ludvigsen makes a realistic offer. The situation takes a toll on Ludvigsen, culminating in his yelling at his worried girlfriend.

The pirates allow the hostages on deck, and Hartmann catches a large fish; the hostages and pirates celebrate and later sing sea shanties. Hartmann reveals that it is his daughter's birthday, and all sing "Happy Birthday to You". Omar later allows Hartmann to call his wife, Maria, but a pirate cuts the conversation short. Omar demands that Maria put pressure on Ludvigsen to pay. Against Julian's advice, Ludvigsen makes a slightly higher offer and loses his cool. Insulted by the offer, Omar insists that the pirates will soon begin to kill people, and a gunshot is heard as the connection goes dead. Stunned, Ludvigsen begins to wonder if he is responsible for Hartmann's death.

The board begins to grow impatient with Ludvigsen's protracted negotiations, and they threaten to replace him with a hired negotiator if he cannot close a deal by the end of the month. After a period of silence, Ludvigsen receives a fax from the pirates. Ludvigsen requests proof that Hartmann is still alive, which Sørensen provides. However, Hartmann is subject to poor treatment and psychological abuse that leaves him an emotional wreck. As negotiations restart, Ludvigsen offers $2.8 million. Omar rejects the offer, and Vestergaard suggests that Ludvigsen pretend to add $500,000 of his own money. Tired of negotiating and convinced that the company cannot offer any more, Omar accepts.

On the ship, Omar herds the hostages on to the deck, where the two separated groups see each other again for the first time. An airplane circles several times and drops a package. The pirates react joyously as they retrieve it. Thankful that the ordeal has finally come to an end, Hartmann retrieves his wedding ring, which he had hidden when the pirates boarded the vessel, and wears it publicly again. As the pirates disembark, one grabs Hartmann's ring. When Hartmann protests, the captain intervenes and takes back the ring from the pirate. Angry, the pirate shoots and kills the captain. Omar strikes the pirate and chastises him, while Sørensen is crying over the captain. Back in Denmark, Ludvigsen makes a difficult phonecall to deliver the bad news to the captain's wife. Shocked by his traumatic experiences, Hartmann does not show much emotion when he finally is re-united with his family.

The two oldest sons, sixth-grader Andrzej "Jędrek" Kwiatkowski and first-grader Grzegorz "Grześ" Kwiatkowski dream of escaping to the West in pursuit of better living conditions and opportunities, as well as to financially aid their dissident parents. Grześ wishes to escape to Louisiana in the United States to pursue a music career. The boys' dream is also shared by Jędrek's classmate, Elka, who often lives alone due to her father's alcoholism and repeated incarceration.

One night, the three children act on their escape plan by hiding underneath a freight truck. However, the plan goes awry and only Grześ is able to hide in the trailer on time before the truck takes off. Elka steals a nearby motorcycle and she and Jędrek give chase before crashing into a ditch. Elka is injured and taken to a hospital, guarded by a policeman who is searching for Jędrek. The boy sneaks into the hospital and helps Elka to escape, but her injuries slow her down and she encourages Jędrek to leave without her. Jędrek promises to come back for her as he runs in the direction of where the truck had travelled.

The freight truck stops beside a highway and Grześ remains in the trailer. Jędrek is arrested during his pursuit and placed in the back of a police car; the driving policemen look for the truck in which Grześ escaped in. The policemen find the vehicle and do not notice Jędrek sneaking out of the car and reuniting with his brother. The boys spend the next couple of days uncomfortably hiding in the trailer as the truck drives through mud and rain. The truck soon ends up on a ferry and Grześ complains of hunger and thirst; Jędrek finds cans of beer in an unlocked van parked nearby.

The brothers later wake up at a gas station in a foreign country. After going to the bathroom, the truck drives away, leaving them stranded. They sleep at a railway station where two police officers wake them up and ask what they are doing; with his limited English, Jędrek is able to establish that he and his brother are in Denmark. The officers place them in a refugee camp as the boys wish to apply for asylum.

The brothers' case makes international news and they are befriended by a Polish journalist who had similarly left Poland some time before. Back home, the boys' mother and father lose their parental rights after being declared as "incapable of taking care of their children". On their own with little support, Jędrek and Grześ unsuccessfully look for work. Later, they receive a government allowance; the boys send some of the money to their parents.

On Christmas Day, the journalist arranges a telephone call between the boys and their parents. They assure each other of their well-being and tearfully express their love for each other. Jędrek asks about Elka, to which his mother informs him that she has been sent to a reformatory. When Jędrek asks if the brothers should stay in Denmark or go back home to Poland, their father encourages them to stay, shouting "Don't ever come back! Do you hear me?"

The film concludes with the brothers sitting mournfully at a public fountain, uncertain of their future in Denmark.

Modesto is a teacher who sees dead people, which has cost him both much money on psychiatrists and the firing from every school he has worked in. His luck changes when he is hired in Monforte and has to teach five students who have turned a prestigious school into a house of horrors.

The film is based upon the true story of Ioannis Varvakis, a Greek caviar merchant and eventual benefactor from Psara who was formerly a pirate. He was born in Psara, and from an early age he learned to navigate the seas, an occupation revered and steeped in tradition on the island where he grew up. At the age of 17 he built his own ship, which he would later offer to the Russians during the Orlov Revolt. Ultimately, his ship was destroyed, and he turned to Saint Petersburg to ask for an audience with Catherine the Great. He was given compensation for the loss of his ship and granted authorization to fish freely in the Caspian Sea. Due to his superb navigational skills and excellent seamanship abilities, he dominated the Caspian Sea and soon became substantially wealthy. When he initially discovered the superior caviar of the Beluga Sturgeon, he quickly discerned that there could be an incredible market trading for this product. From the caviar trade he eventually became a millionaire and later donated part of his fortune for important works that improved the life of Russians and Greeks on the Black Sea coasts. In his later years, he became a member of the Filiki Eteria, which would contribute to the overthrow of the Ottoman rule of Greece. He died in 1825 in Zante, during the Greek War of Independence. After his death, his entire estate went to the Ioannis Varvakis Foundation which would offer up important grants throughout Greece. The script follows the entire life of Varvakis, but the film's narration begins with his final moments in Zante.

''Son'' is written in three parts, each with a subtitle: ''Before'', ''Between'', and ''Beyond''.

''Before''

''Before'' takes place in the same location, "The Community," and at approximately the same time as ''The Giver''. Claire's assigned occupation how in the community is Birth Mother by artificial insemination, and her primary responsibility is to give birth. At the beginning of the novel, Claire is nearing the end of her pregnancy. She gives birth to her child at 14, but complications during delivery necessitate birth by Cesarean section. Three weeks after giving birth, Claire reports to the birthing unit office and is reassigned to work at the Fish Hatchery. After she leaves, she inquires after the baby she birthed, and the officer informs her that the baby is healthy and accidentally informs Claire that the child is male and number 36 in his year.

Claire retains curiosity for her son as she begins work at the Fish Hatchery and begins casually volunteering at the infant nurturing center to see him. As she plays with Thirty-Six, she quickly grows to love him, a feeling she finds that she alone experiences. She later realizes that all adult community members take pills that suppress emotions. As a Birth Mother, she was instructed not to take the pills, but the matter was overlooked in her reassignment. Claire is told that Thirty-Six is going "Elsewhere" for his failure to thrive according to the community's standards. Before she can do anything, her son is saved and taken away by Jonas, the protagonist from ''The Giver''. Claire attempts to follow them on a supply boat, but it soon encounters a strong storm and is shipwrecked.

''Between''

In ''Between'', Claire is rescued from the beach on which the supply boat shipwrecked.

Then, she meets an evil entity, Trademaster, which offers to take her to her son if she trades her youth. Claire agrees and is turned into an old woman, and her son, Gabriel "Gabe", is located.

''Beyond''

In ''Beyond'', Gabe is now a young man with the power to see into other people's minds for a split second, "seeing beyond." Gabe is also curious about his old home and his real mother.

Meanwhile, Jonas notices Claire, finds out that she is the mother of Gabe, and convinces Gabe that Claire is his mother and that the Trademaster is the evil entity that caused her to grow old.

Gabe is then told that the Trademaster must be killed. He meets the Trademaster, veers into its body, and understands that the Trademaster is dying from starvation because he feeds off his victims' suffering. Gabe then tells the Trademaster of all the people that he has tried to destroy and how they are living happily again. That destroys the Trademaster, and when Gabe returns home, Claire returns to her younger self.

The film opens with a report announcing the murder in New Orleans of Reverend Jackson Bird, a controversial evangelist preacher who used his powerful position on television to spread the word of God. Detective Cassidy (Horsley) is assigned to the case, and is led to his prime suspect: Claire Laurent (Lucci), the owner of a lingerie company called French Silk. Claire would have a strong motive for killing Reverend Bird, considering that he wanted to close down her company for thinking it was too obscene. Even though Claire denies ever having met the man, the media think of her as the murderer, leading to much negative publicity. Cassidy, who is known for being tough, falls for Claire after the first meeting. Following the announce of his death, Claire's model friend Martine (Belafonte) immediately flies over from New York to support her. Claire is unaware that Martine had multiple reasons for coming over to New Orleans, including to resume an affair with married Congressman Alister Petrie (Metzler).

Quickly, Cassidy finds out that Claire has made several lies to him about her background and about never having met Jackson, as well as finding information on the reverend in her dumpster. Worried, Claire calls her friend Andre (Warfield), who assures her that he has not told anything to the police. She continues to be battered by Cassidy on her background, and admits that she was born out of wedlock when her mother was only 16 years old. Cassidy then displays the audio tape of her phone call with Andre, but Claire connects the phone call yet again with her mother. She insists that she was taking a walk in the city around the time that Jackson was murdered, and reenacts the walk with Cassidy to prove it. Around this time, Cassidy proclaims his attraction towards her, and explains that he has made a serious mistake in his career past before, and cannot afford to be wrong again. They kiss afterwards.

Despite collecting more evidence on the murder proving Claire's guilt, by searching the French Silk's office, Cassidy falls more for her charm. When she notices that he is coming closer to arresting her, she attempts to send him away, though he persists to stay, leading for them to become intimate. As they are about to have sex, Claire grows convinced that he is only seducing her to lure her into a confession, and sends him away. Meanwhile, Martine tries to pressure Alister in leaving his wife for her, and when he announces that he wants to wait until after the election – which is in three months – she becomes enraged, and threatens to ruin his career. The next day, while Martine admits her affair with Alister to Claire, Cassidy is nearly fired by Chief Crowder (Ermey) for his assumption that he has been withholding information to the police due to his personal involvement with the suspect.

The same night, Martine, after also finding out that her career as a model is over, rushes to Alister's place with intentions of shooting him. When his teenage daughter Amy (Teague) opens the door, Martine becomes devastated and instead kills herself. Afterwards, it is revealed that the gun that she used to kill herself was the same that killed Jackson. Alister, however, tries to prove Martine's innocence by claiming that Martine was with him when Jackson was killed. He insists that, while it was in fact Martine's gun, it was taken on the night of Jackson's murder by someone who had direct access to her belongings. Cassidy rushes to the Laurent residence to confront Claire and her mother (Marshall) with the new proceedings, causing Claire to give an immediate confession of the murder. While Cassidy reluctantly takes her in, she is almost shot by a follower of Jackson, but Cassidy saves her life. Due to a riot, Cassidy has to change roads, and they stop at a family house of Claire. There, she admits that Jackson was not as holy as everyone thinks he was, and impregnated her mother when she was just a young convent girl. After explaining her motive, Claire kisses Cassidy, and they spend the night together intimately.

The next morning, as Claire is taken to jail, Andre comes forward to reveal that Claire is covering for her mother, whom she thinks killed Jackson. Claire eventually admits that she was trying to protect her mother, but it is revealed through Andre that Jackson has been blackmailing Alister for his several affairs. Claire mistakenly thought that her mother killed Jackson, and Alister was actually responsible for the murder, because he was fed up with being blackmailed. While Alister is arrested for murder, Claire is cleared from all charges and resumes her passionate relationship with Cassidy.

In 1993, alcoholic advertising executive Joe Doucett (Brolin) gets drunk after losing a major account because he insulted his client’s girlfriend. Before he passes out, he sees a woman with a yellow umbrella selling souvenirs on the street. When he wakes up, he finds himself locked in what appears to be a hotel room. His unseen captors provide him food, alcohol, and personal hygiene items, but do not explain why he is held captive. Joe sees a news report saying his ex-wife Donna has been raped and murdered and that he is the prime suspect. Their 3-year-old daughter Mia was adopted through the welfare system and is now a cello prodigy.

Over the next 20 years, Joe quits drinking and gets into shape, intent on escaping and getting revenge. He compiles a list of all those who might want to imprison him, and writes letters to eventually be given to Mia. One day he sees a TV interview of Mia, who says she would forgive her father if she ever saw him.

Joe is drugged shortly thereafter. When he wakes up he is outside in a trunk in a field, with a cell phone and a small amount of money. He spots the woman with the yellow umbrella and runs after her; he loses her but encounters Marie Sebastian (Olsen), a nurse who offers to help. He refuses the help, but takes her business card. Joe goes to his friend Chucky's (Imperioli) bar and explains what has happened to him. Joe receives a call on his cell phone from a man calling himself the "Stranger", who mocks him. After failing to identify the caller, Joe collapses from dehydration, and Chucky calls Marie to help. While he recovers, Marie is moved emotionally by Joe's letters to Mia and offers to help him further. She helps him identify a Chinese restaurant which supplied his food while he was held captive.

Joe follows a delivery from the restaurant to a warehouse where he was imprisoned, and meets Chaney (Jackson), its owner. Joe tortures Chaney by flaying his neck with a utility knife, and he confesses that the Stranger arranged for Joe's captivity. Upon returning to Chucky's bar, Joe finds the Stranger (Copley) there with the woman with the yellow umbrella, his bodyguard Haeng-bok. The Stranger says they have kidnapped Mia, but if Joe can determine in 46 hours the Stranger's identity and the reason for his captivity for 20 years, he'll release Mia, give Joe $20 million in diamonds, proof of Joe's innocence in Donna's murder, and commit suicide.

Joe learns that Chaney and his men are seeking revenge by attacking Marie. After racing to her house, he is captured by Chaney. Just as Chaney is about to cut and torture him, the Stranger calls Chaney and offers to pay him for Joe's release. Chaney releases Joe and Marie. Using a music recognition app on her phone, Marie determines that the ringtone from the Stranger's call is the theme song of Evergreen Academy, which Joe had attended, but is now closed and shuttered.

Marie visits the school headmistress's home; Joe sneaks in a back door and finds his yearbook where he recognizes a student, Adrian Doyle Pryce. Joe passes the name to Chucky then hides Marie in a hotel for her safety. There they have passionate sex, unaware that Adrian is watching through hidden cameras. Chucky does some internet sleuthing and leaves a message for Joe revealing that everything has been about Adrian's sister Amanda. Adrian intercepts and deletes the message before Joe hears it, and because Chucky insulted Adrian's sister, he garrotes Chucky to death with piano wire. Marie and Joe enter the Evergreen Academy grounds, and find the school's records regarding Adrian and Amanda. Joe recalls bullying Amanda, and seeing Amanda having sex with an older man, revealed to be her own father, in the greenhouse. Adrian's father moved the Pryce family to Luxembourg, where he later murdered his wife and Amanda, attempted to murder Adrian, and committed suicide. Back at the car, they find a package with Chucky's tongue inside. Joe makes Marie promise to let him go after Adrian alone.

Joe goes to Adrian's penthouse, kills Haeng-bok by slitting her throat, and confronts Adrian. He tells Adrian what he found out about Amanda and Adrian's father. Adrian congratulates him for answering the two questions correctly. Adrian, who has convinced himself that his father's abuse was an expression of love, blames the destruction of his family on Joe, who revealed their secret by telling everyone at Evergreen what he saw in the greenhouse. Adrian gives him the diamonds and evidence, and escorts him to sets used to fabricate the media watched by Joe in the warehouse. Adrian taunts Joe by questioning why he was released at all; his tormentor shows that the interview with "Mia" was a setup; the girl, now a woman, was a paid actress. Adrian reveals that Marie is really Joe's own daughter and that he wanted Joe to know what it felt like to lose everything. Adrian then commits suicide, shooting himself in the mouth.

Horrified, Joe writes Marie a letter saying they can never see each other again. He leaves her most of the diamonds, using the rest to pay Chaney to return him to the captivity of the hotel room.

Background

The small town of Twin Peaks, Washington, has been shocked by the murder of schoolgirl Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) and the attempted murder of her friend Ronette Pulaski Phoebe Augustine. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) has been sent to the town to investigate, and has come to the realization that the killer was possessed by a demonic entity—Killer BOB (Frank Silva). BOB's real human host, Laura's father Leland Palmer (Ray Wise), has murdered his niece Madeleine "Maddy" Ferguson (Lee) and disposed of her body.

Meanwhile, Ben Horne (Richard Beymer) is still imprisoned under suspicion of Laura Palmer's murder, Lucy Moran (Kimmy Robertson) confronts Deputy Andy Brennan (Harry Goaz) and Dick Tremayne (Ian Buchanan) about her pregnancy, and Norma Jennings (Peggy Lipton) is surprised when her mother, Vivian Smythe Niles (Jane Greer) arrives in Twin Peaks with her new husband, Ernie (James Booth).

Events

Cooper, FBI Special Agent Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer), Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean) and Deputy Hawk walk through the woods outside of Twin Peaks the morning after the discovery of Maddy Ferguson's body. Albert gives forensic evidence to Cooper, concluding Maddy's killer was the same person who murdered her cousin, Laura Palmer. Sheriff Truman insists on contacting Maddy's uncle Leland Palmer, as he would be able to contact her parents. Cooper persuades Sheriff Truman to give him twenty four hours "to finish this."

In the Double R Diner, Deputy Andy Brennan sits at the counter reciting the phrase "''J'ai une âme solitaire''"—French for "I am a lonely soul." Donna Hayward (Lara Flynn Boyle) approaches Andy and asks if he had visited Mrs. Tremond (Frances Bay), whose grandson had said the same phrase to her during her Meals on Wheels round. Andy reveals that the phrase was included in Harold Smith (Lenny Von Dohlen)'s suicide note. Donna contacts Cooper and both of them visit Mrs. Tremond's home, only to find a completely different, much younger woman living there answering to the name of Mrs Tremond. She gives Donna an envelope from Harold Smith, containing two pages from Laura Palmer's secret diary. The entries—dated February 22 and 23 — reveal that Cooper and Laura had the same dream involving the Red Room and that Laura was aware of her imminent death. Cooper visits MIKE (Al Strobel), who is inhabiting Philip Gerard, at the Great Northern Hotel. Cooper tells MIKE that he and Laura had the same dream on separate occasions and he needs to unlock the answers. MIKE mentions a "golden circle" and his connection with The Giant (Carel Struycken), telling Cooper he must summon The Giant to receive answers. Upon leaving MIKE's room, Cooper encounters the Waiter (Hank Worden), who tells him he's "getting warmer now."

Elsewhere, James Hurley (James Marshall) gives Donna a ring, Norma Jennings (Peggy Lipton) has an altercation with her mother, Vivian Smythe Niles (Jane Greer), in the Double R Diner, and Lucy Moran tells Andy Brennan and Richard Tremayne about her plans for a blood test to determine which of them is the father of her baby. Mr. Tojamura visits Ben Horne (Richard Beymer) in jail, where it is revealed Tojamura is Catherine Martell (Piper Laurie). Ben signs the Ghostwood Project contract over to Catherine in exchange for an alibi in the murder case.

Meanwhile, Donna visits Leland Palmer to deliver a tape of a song she, James and Maddy recorded together. Leland, while inhabited by BOB, asks Donna to dance with him and becomes aggressive, before being distracted by a knock on the door from Sheriff Truman. He informs Leland there has been another murder and asks him to come to the Roadhouse. At the Roadhouse, Cooper assembles all of the people he suspects might be BOB's host. While there, the Waiter offers people sticks of gum and tells Leland "that gum you like is going to come back in style", prompting Cooper to remember his earlier dream of the Red Room. He determines that Leland is BOB's host but arrests Ben Horne. While Ben is about to be imprisoned again, Cooper and Sheriff Truman throw Leland into the interrogation room, where he goes into a manic fit.

Inside the interrogation room, BOB confesses—through Leland's body—that he murdered Laura Palmer and Maddy Ferguson.

At some point in the future, Qohen Leth, an eccentric and reclusive programmer who refers to himself in the plural, works crunching "entities" for the ontological research division of a large company called Mancom. He does not like having to leave the quiet, fire-damaged church in which he lives to travel the bright, crowded streets and work in a noisy office and fears missing a mysterious phone call he has been expecting for years, so he requests disability leave or permission to work from home. Though he points to the fact that all of his hair has fallen out as evidence he is dying, three company doctors determine he is physically healthy but they do require he start sessions with Dr. Shrink-Rom, an AI therapist.

Qohen attends a party thrown by his supervisor, Joby, so he can talk to Management, their boss. He requests permission to work from home, saying he would be more productive and mentioning his call, which he says he hopes will provide his life with a purpose. Management at first calls Qohen "insane" but later says he has a special project for Qohen that he thinks might prove mutually beneficial.

The project is the "Zero Theorem", an extremely complex mathematical formula with a reputation for quickly exhausting anyone who tries to solve it. Qohen spends months locked in his home working on it and becomes increasingly deranged, as the "entities refuse to remain crunched" and Mancom's demands for processed data are relentless. In frustration, he smashes his work station with a hammer.

Joby comes by to check on Qohen and says he knows someone he thinks can help. He sends over Bainsley, a young woman Qohen had met at Joby's party, who knocks on Qohen's door dressed in a sexy nurse outfit. She cleans up a bit and they talk, and Qohen confides that the call he is waiting for is a call-back from someone he once accidentally hung up on who he believes will tell him the meaning of life. Saying she will be right back, Bainsley leaves.

Bob, the teenage son of Management, visits Qohen to repair his computer. Qohen says he has decided to quit but Bob tells him Management is not done with him, so he cannot. Ambivalent toward his father, Bob reveals that Bainsley was paid to spend time with Qohen and then offers to get Qohen his call, if he agrees to continue to work on the Zero Theorem. When Bainsley returns, she gives Qohen an advanced VR suit, and they arrange to meet up through her website. Qohen clicks on a link and finds himself, with hair, on a virtual beach with Bainsley. He is concerned that it is not real but she assures him it is "better than real" and they end up kissing.

The next day, Bob visits Qohen again. He explains that proving the Zero Theorem will prove life is meaningless by affirming the Big Crunch theory, which Qohen does not want to believe. Unable to focus on work, he virtually meets with Bainsley again. He is troubled that the Sun never sets on her beach, so she invites him to imagine an environment for them to inhabit, and he ends up sending them to a vortex around a black hole that has been haunting his dreams. Back on the beach, Bainsley comforts Qohen and they embrace, but when he suggests they stay in the virtual world together and denounces Management, he is forcefully disconnected from the system and his VR suit is damaged. When Qohen goes to Bainsley's website at an unplanned time, he discovers her performing as a webcam stripper and logs off abruptly. He later returns to the site and finds his access has been blocked.

Weeks later, Bob returns with Qohen's VR suit, which he says he has turned into a "prototype soul-searching device". Bob gets Dr. Shrink-Rom to confirm that the phone call Qohen is waiting for is a delusion but says the upgraded suit has the ability to connect Qohen with his soul, assuming he has one. Bainsley arrives and says that, while she initially agreed to seduce Qohen because Joby said she could keep her VR suit if she did so, she developed real feelings for Qohen. She offers to run away with him but Qohen turns her down. He and Bob take a break from work and go to a park, where Qohen reveals he was once married.

Back at the church, Bob's health declines rapidly, and Qohen cares for him. Once Bob is asleep, Qohen finds and smashes the cameras Management hid throughout the building. Two of Management's employees break in and take Bob away and, later, Joby drops by to blame Qohen for getting him fired. Once alone, Qohen dons his upgraded VR suit and tries to connect to his computer but there is a problem and he is electrocuted.

Finding himself in front of the Neural Net Mancrive, a massive supercomputer that is the destination for all of the entities crunched by the employees of Mancom, Qohen is greeted by Management, who tells him Bob has been hospitalized due to a chronic illness. Qohen asks if Management is real or just in his mind and is told that it does not matter, as he is now part of the Neural Net. He asks what the point of his life is but Management says he does not know, as Mancom is still crunching the data but he believes the Universe came from and will return to chaos. Management states his goal was never to prove life has no meaning but to improve his models so he can make more money by bringing order to the natural disorder. The reason Qohen was chosen to work on the Zero Theorem is that he is a man of faith, which represents the antithesis of Management's project. Unfortunately, Management says, the faith that led Qohen to spend his life waiting for the phone call he believed would give his life meaning caused him to live a meaningless life.

After saying he no longer requires Qohen's services, Management disappears. Qohen destroys the Neural Net, which blows open, revealing the black hole vortex from his nightmare inside, though now there are countless pictures, including one of Bainsley, swirling toward the center. He begins to walk away, but turns back and smiling, jumps into the vortex. Alone on the virtual beach, a calm, naked (and still-bald) Qohen stands looking out to sea. He goes over to where he had a picnic with Bainsley and picks her bikini top up off the sand. A beach ball floats by, and he throws it up in the air a few times before he does the same thing with the Sun, which then sets. Mixed in with the music as the credits begin, Bainsley can be heard calling Qohen's name and laughing.

As she uses the help of her assistant Casey Roper (Gorski) to leave the party, she becomes the target of her stalker yet again, as he follows her as she leaves and takes photographs of her.

Terrified, she uses the help of a security man named Nick Angel (Griffin) to help her change her identity, in hopes of getting rid of her stalker. After helping her change her name to Julie Summerfield, she finds out that one of his old friends, now murdered, was one of her photography victims years earlier. As they prepare the next day to create a new life, they are bothered by Murray "Gadger" Buck (Devine), a hit man who makes an impression with his psychotic behavior. That night, she and Nick break into the library to learn more about Julie Summerfield, and when they return home, Gage finds one of the stalker's trademarks at her door. Inside however, they cannot find either the stalker, or her assistant, who should have been present in the house. The next morning, Gage receives pictures of Casey being mutilated and murdered. Devastated, she visits Gadger, asking him to kill her stalker. He asks for $150,000 in exchange, and orders her to find a place far away from people, where the deed can be done, as well as advising her to keep Nick out of it.

Meanwhile, Nick has broken into Gadger's apartment, where he finds out that Gadger is the same man as Gage's stalker and Casey's killer. He immediately sets out to the abandoned house, where Gage at the moment is being scared by Gadger's behavior. As Nick enters the house, Gadger feels betrayed by Gage and shoots Nick. He then orders Gage to take care of his bloody clothes, and check into a motel. Back in present time, the detectives work with Gage to locate Badger. They retrieve his location, where she finds out that Nick, Casey and Gadger worked together as con artists who planned everything. The detectives and Gage decide to take revenge by conning them themselves. Gage goes over to Gadger's place, claiming that she received photographs of Nick's murder. As she learns through listening wire that the three con artists are turning on each other, she meets with Gadger again, telling him that the person who took pictures of Nick's murder, is demanding $250,000.

On the night of the money exchange, Linus poses as the threatener. Gage uses loose blanks to shoot and "kill" Linus, which she does to scare off Linus, whom she orders to leave the money and get away. With her money back, she starts to celebrate, until she finds out that Linus is not responding to anything. Worried about having killed him, she takes the money and gets away. Gadger, meanwhile, reveals himself to be an associate of Valerie, to whom he returns with all the money. Valerie then blows up his car and turns to Casey and Nick, who shoot and kill Valerie. Gage also arrives at the scene to collect her money, and finds Nick and Casey trying to kill each other in order to not having to share the cash. Casey eventually kills Nick, and tries to murder Gage, but instead accidentally sets herself on fire.

Brian and Stewie follow Carter around in Pewterschmidt Industries in order to prove he is an impostor. They hear Carter talking to one of his executives about a "Specimen Z" in the sub-levels that might be the description for the "real" Carter Pewterschmidt. While sneaking into a sub-level medical facility to find "Specimen Z," Brian and Stewie discover that "Specimen Z" is actually for a chemical that is the cure for cancer. Carter finds them in the room where it is being held and reveals that he has been sitting on the cure since 1999 in order to protect his sales of treatment pharmaceuticals.

Opening Sequence

Sir Lancelot walks in the forest.

In the Characters' Past

At a campsite, Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory), Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), and their allies are attacked by King George's (Alan Dale) knights. One of the assailants turns out to be Sir Lancelot (Sinqua Walls), who captures Snow and brings her back to face King George. At the palace, the King tells Snow that Charming failed him because he wanted him to be the son that he always longed to have and now wants Charming to feel his pain. The King had offered Snow water to drink upon her arrival, and after she has drunk it, he reveals to her it that was actually a potion to prevent her from ever having children. Moments later, and after being dropped out of a carriage, Snow hears someone on horseback, so she takes a stick and knocks him to the ground, revealing the person to be Lancelot. However, it turns out that Lancelot wants to help Snow reach Charming and his mother Ruth (Gabrielle Rose) before King George's men get to them. By the time they reach the farm, Snow and Lancelot discover that they are too late, as Charming has already fended off the King's men, but Ruth has been shot by a poisoned arrow. After she is hit, she gives Snow a medallion she got from a gypsy that will predict the gender of Snow's unborn baby, but it doesn't work because of the effects of the King's potion. Snow eventually reveals to Ruth what has happened, and Ruth then tells her the water of Lake Nostros is a chance to break the curse for both women.

As the group arrives at Lake Nostros, they discover that the lake is now dry. Charming realizes that killing the Siren to free Frederick resulted in the disappearance of the water. However, Lancelot believes that there has to be some water left in the area, and he finds enough in a snail shell for one person. Ruth secretly suggests to Snow that she take it instead of her, but Snow reluctantly turns down the offer. When Ruth drinks the water, however, she was not healed. Knowing it is too late to look for another way to save her, Ruth regrets not being able to see Snow and Charming's wedding. This gives Snow an idea to perform a small wedding ceremony just for Ruth. Snow asks Lancelot to perform the ceremony, and Snow and Charming are married before Ruth passes away. Charming then gives Snow the medallion, which all of a sudden starts moving over her hand. Snow realizes that Ruth only pretended to drink the water and had Lancelot put it in the chalice at their wedding in order to get Snow to drink it, thus breaking the curse of the potion. She tells Lancelot the medallion has predicted that their child will be a girl. Charming vows that they will take the kingdom, this time as a family.

In the Enchanted Forest

Inside the pit, Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) comes face to face with Cora (Barbara Hershey), who wants to talk to her. Cora explains to Emma who she is, and claims to be nothing like the Evil Queen/Regina (Lana Parrilla). Snow White/Mary Margaret wakes up and, recognizing Cora, warns Emma not to trust her. Emma, however, believes Cora might be telling the truth. Emma and Mary Margaret are later released from the pit and meet Sir Lancelot, who immediately recognizes Mary Margaret and apologizes for their harsh treatment. While Princess Aurora (Sarah Bolger) seethes at Lancelot's warm treatment, Mulan (Jamie Chung) puts her faith in him. Lancelot tells Mary Margaret about what happened when the curse was broken: ogres have returned and are currently roaming the woods, terrorizing any survivors outside the island. Mary Margaret begs Lancelot to let her search for a portal; he eventually consents on the condition they bring Mulan. Later that night, Mary Margaret is jumped by Aurora who holds a dagger to her throat. Mary Margaret easily disarms Aurora and holds her to the ground, telling her that Phillip's death was not her fault and to channel her anger some other way. As Mulan pulls Mary Margaret off of Aurora, Emma shoots a bullet into the air, catching the attention of a nearby ogre, who proceeds to give chase. Emma trips over the fallen branch and the ogre catches up to her, crushing her gun and blocking her escape. Just then, Mary Margaret yells at the ogre to back away from Emma and shoots an arrow into the ogre's eye, killing him instantly.

Later, at the former palace of Snow White and Prince Charming, the four ladies arrive, where they proceed to Emma's former nursery and find the wardrobe there. As Emma and Mary Margaret try to figure out a way to bring the wardrobe back to the safe haven, Lancelot shows up at the last minute. Although initially happy to see him, Mary Margaret draws out her sword and exposes Lancelot as Cora, who made the mistake of mentioning Henry by name (Emma had mentioned his name to Cora, but not Lancelot). Cora then transforms back into her original form and admits that she killed Lancelot a while back and was waiting for an opportunity to join her daughter and grandson. Cora then unleashes her power on both Mary Margaret and Emma, but as she gloats to Mary Margaret about her victory, Emma sets the tree on fire using the gunpowder from her bullets. Mulan, who was standing guard outside the room with Aurora, jumps in and deflects Cora's attacks. Cora warns that she is not done with them and disappears. Mulan asks Snow to be the leader of the refugees. Emma and Snow discuss the sacrifices that parents must make for their children's well-being. Emma states that she is not used to people putting her first, but her mother gives her a hug and tells her to get used to it. After the heroines depart, Cora reappears with a potion bottle and fills it with the ashes of the wardrobe. The potion bottle glows red- there was still a little magic left in the wardrobe.

In Storybrooke

As Prince Charming/David attempts to find a way to use the hat to bring back Snow White/Mary Margaret and Emma, Henry (Jared S. Gilmore) insists on helping, but Charming, who says that he'll find magic, wants Henry to concentrate on going to school while he takes care of this situation. Henry, as usual, does the opposite and goes to see the Mad Hatter/Jefferson (Sebastian Stan). When Henry sees the Mad Hatter at a park bench, he asks for help, but the Mad Hatter/Jefferson says he is not able to, but not before telling Henry about Regina's vault at the cemetery. Henry knows that the Mad Hatter's daughter, Paige/Grace, has been looking for him, but the Mad Hatter/Jefferson is afraid to face her because she will be upset about him abandoning her. Henry thinks that the Mad Hatter should go see her anyway. After that conversation, Henry calls Regina at her office (who was asked to vacate the premises and was packing up her things) to ask her to meet at Granny's Diner for lunch. She leaves, and Henry sneaks into her office to get her skeleton keys so he can sneak into her vault.

Henry later arrives at his adopted grandfather's tomb. He sees the boxes where Regina keeps her hearts, but pays little attention to them. After exploring around for a bit, he finally comes upon a box and unlocks it only to reveal a pair of Agrabah vipers. Luckily, Charming shows up and boxes the things, Regina having tipped him off about the missing keys and being stood up at the diner. Charming tells Henry that they will find a way to get Emma and Snow/Mary Margaret back, together. Later that day, the Mad Hatter is finally reunited with his daughter, Paige/Grace, and Henry watches this from a distance. He is soon joined by Charming, who buys a pair of wooden swords to teach Henry how to defend himself. As they are sword-playing, King George/Albert Spencer secretly watches them in his car from a distance.

Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is boarding a plane home from Beirut Airport when he is pulled aside by a uniformed soldier. He is then led to a closed room and questioned by a well-dressed man implied to be an intelligence officer. Saul is traveling on a diplomatic passport and refuses questioning on grounds of diplomatic immunity. He attempts to intimidate the man, but is forced to grudgingly comply and open the diplomatic bag. The intelligence officer clearly knows what to look for, and eventually finds a memory card inside the lining. Saul is then allowed to proceed home. Once aboard the plane, he removes the real memory card from a secret compartment inside the briefcase handle and puts it into his pocket.

Carrie (Claire Danes) stays up all night excitedly writing a report on her mission to Beirut. Galvez (Hrach Titizian) picks up the report the next morning and tells Carrie to come to Langley that evening for a debriefing.

On the day that he is scheduled to make a speech at Jessica's (Morena Baccarin) fundraiser, Brody (Damian Lewis) gets a call from Roya (Zuleikha Robinson). Roya explains that the CIA has acquired intelligence which leads to the tailor (Nasser Faris) in Gettysburg who crafted Brody's suicide vest. She says that the tailor needs to be picked up and brought to a safehouse, but that it must be done by someone he knows, namely Brody. Brody makes the drive to Gettysburg and picks up the tailor who is reluctant to go. The tailor nervously asks what fate awaits him when he gets to the safehouse, to which Brody has no answers. A flat tire delays their trip. While Brody is changing the tire, the tailor considers attacking Brody with a rock but does not get a chance.

Carrie arrives at Langley early, only to become agitated when she finds that the debriefing session is already in progress. Estes (David Harewood) takes Carrie aside and tells her that he decided it would be better to have the debrief without her. He compliments Carrie on the quality of her work in Beirut, but shoots down any possibility of her reinstatement, which visibly upsets her.

During a stop at a gas station, the tailor runs away. Brody chases him into a nearby forest. The tailor hits Brody from behind with a large rock and runs away. Brody is able to chase him down and tackle him, then realizing that the tailor has been impaled on a stake that was sticking out of the ground. The tailor begs to be taken to a hospital. Brody refuses, instead doing his best to administer first aid and stop the bleeding. Jessica calls Brody on his cell phone. Brody explains his tardiness by saying that he got a flat tire. The tailor, in his weakened state, moans for help while Brody is on the phone. Brody tries to keep him quiet, but with his efforts unsuccessful, he kills the tailor by breaking his neck.

In 2003, a Pakistani archaeologist, Dr. M. Alam Siddiqui, after seeking permission from the Government of Pakistan, starts researching the hidden treasure of King Kanishka, whose treasure map is hidden in an old box whose key is a Garuda locket, which was last seen in the research books of David, a British archaeologist. His team, led by Siddiqui and Dilawar, tries hard to search for the key as they find the box in an old market in Pakistan. Fate takes a reverse turn as a dreaded terrorist named Sultan (Shakti Kapoor) along with his men visit the archaeology department. Sultan coerces Siddiqui, takes the box away from him, and makes all the people his slaves until Siddiqui finds the treasure and hands over it to Sultan.

The story shifts to 2013 in Hyderabad, India. Gautham Kumar Varma is a poor, brave, and money-greedy security guard who wants to make easy money and settle in life. His motto is that he would not take even a crore if it is not his, but would never let go of even a penny if it is his. Gautham spends his time testing his fortune by buying lottery tickets and using gadgets that bring luck, but sadly, both end up giving nothing to him. His friends, who are four kids, live along with him in the slum colony. Once they ask him to show a 1000 rupee note out of curiosity, to which Gautham agrees. The next day the ATM's cash cartridge is being refilled, and Gautham requests the officials to show a 1000 rupee note to the kids. They accept and show a note. Meanwhile, a gang of thieves comes and robs the ATM. Gautham catches the criminals and hands over the money, but since the CCTV footage shows that Gautham's request was the reason for it, he is posted to a dumping yard, where he would work for nearly 12 hours.

The night when Gautham returns from his duty, a heavy rain drenches the colony and the roof in his room falls. From the roof, he finds a diary, an old empty bag on which "Pushkalavathi Jewelers, Peshawar" is printed, a Garuda locket, two magnifying lenses, and a small stone with a design. He opens the diary and starts reading, which is narrated by his grandfather Satyanarayana Varma. On the day of India-Pakistan, partition activists were attacking rich men and looting them. After finding no resort to hiding, Satyanarayana Varma packs all his jewelry and diamonds and rushes out to a cave which is rumored to be a king's escape runway. After reaching the spot, he rests at a place keeping his bag on a door of an inlet. A bag with diamonds falls into one of the birds attached, thus opening the inlet and the bags entering the inner space. He tries hard to get it back but removes the bird from there and falls into an abyss. However, he survived. There was a promissory note that 900 Diamonds of his would-be inherited by his grandson. Gautham sets to Pakistan with the help of Sreenidhi (Taapsee Pannu), an ardent Hindu devotee who wishes to visit the Hinglaj Mata temple in Pakistan.

There, Gautham and Sreenidhi, along with Indian security contractor Khayamat Raju, reach the Hinglaj Mata Temple. There, Gautham finds his grandfather's name on a slab and two dwellers inform him that archaeologists searched for this person. He goes to the archaeology department, where Thilavar is now in charge after the brutal murder of Siddiqui, shows the empty bag to them, and finds that the address would be in Peshawar. Meanwhile, Gautham sees the Garuda locket sketch on the research papers and shows the locket to them. Thilavar offers him money, gold, and many things in return for this locket as per Sultan's orders, but Gautham neither accepts to take any one or all of them nor accepts to give away the locket concerning his motto. He escapes from them, and along with Sreenidhi and Khayamat Raju, goes away to a safe place. Meanwhile, Sreenidhi is made prey to a Buzkashi game with a rule that the one who parks her in the goal would marry her. A masked Gautham joins them, and after stiff competition, he wins the match by parking her, thus making her fall for him. They move to Peshawar to a local hospital, where they join Khayamat Raju with fake injuries and rest there that night.

The next morning, Gautham starts searching in the streets of Peshawar Markets for his grandfather's address only to be kidnapped by terrorists. Then he is brought before Sultan, who asks Gautham to submit the Garuda locket to which he responds, saying that he would not give it to Sultan or anyone as it is his. They torture him, trash him, and injure him severely, only to make him much more determined not to give it to Sultan. Sultan orders Thilavar and his men to take him away to Peshawar and kill him. In transit, Gautham kills most of them, leaving Thilavar and three others and escaping to Peshawar in a bus. He reaches to the hospital, where he learns from Khayamat Raju that a girl kidnapped Sreenidhi and gave her an address to meet her. He goes to the address and frees Sreenidhi. He then ties up the kidnapper with a rope, only to know that she is Siddiqui's daughter Zara (Paru Gambhir) whose ambition is to hand over the treasure of Kanishka to the Pakistan Government as per her father's wish. Now, Gautham, Zara, and Sreenidhi learn that the box containing the map is in Sultan's house, where Gautham goes along with Zara. There, Gautham breaks the power supply, kills a Jihadi, wears his dress, and finds the box.

However, the power is on now, and Thilavar takes Gautham to the living room, where Sultan and his men are waiting. They dress him with a bomb with a piston to activate it. They remove his mask and find out that it was Gautham, only to be threatened by him to leave him or else all would be destroyed along with the box. He reaches out, ties the piston with a wire, carefully removes the bomb from his back with the help of Zara, and both escape from there with the box. They use the Garuda locket and take the map, which indicates a place near Hinglaj Mata Temple. The trio reaches there, and according to the map, there were five wheels to be arranged in a particular order. After arranging them correctly, the water in the well goes down through a spiral staircase, leading to a huge old door. Sultan arrives at the spot, and to save themselves, Gautham throws the map into the abyss, thus making the trio the only source to reach the place. Gautham removes a metal flower from one of the wheels, and all go into the door with some of them dying to fall into the abyss.

They reach an old bridge which starts breaking while all are in a midway. The bridge breaks into nearly two parts, one on which the terrorists are there, one on which Gautham is there, and the last on which Zara, Sreenidhi, and Sultan are there. To sustain on the bridge, Sultan kicks Zara into the abyss with the flow of water, and she is pronounced dead. Gautham connects the two bridges with the help of a rope, and all of them, including Sreenidhi and Sultan, enter the next phase. The next phase is the way to the inlet where the bird used to be there. Using two metal flower arrangements, a way is made due to movements of levers and wheels, and all go to the inlet. Gautham keeps the bird there, and a circular door with a small hole appears. The metal flower of the previous wheel is arranged there as a key, and all of the people enter the next phase: walking through a deep tunnel behind the circular door. They enter another room with a drum surrounded by nearly hundreds of metal chains surrounded in a circular curtain fashion with sharp metal weapons, and they start rotating round as they are sound-sensitive. Gautham, after severe struggles, enters the middle chain and removes the trident lock, making a metal ball fall on the drum. Due to opposite vibrations, the chains restore their position. They enter the last phase by a circular staircase.

Gautham, Sreenidhi, Sultan, Thilavar, and some terrorists enter a room. The tiles are arranged with a land mine system where some creatures are painted. If one would stand in the wrong place, then they would be killed by the sharp arrows projected from the mouths of sculptures on both walls. Gautham arranges the trident on a platform, due to which the land mine system is deactivated and the mouths of the sculptures are sealed by metal plates. Everyone goes toward the room, and a fight starts between the terrorists and Gautham. While most of the terrorists die, one accidentally kicks the trident, once again reverting the changes. Thilavar and Gautham are on the sculptures, and at the right time, Gautham attacks Thilavar with war equipment, thus deviating him from the place and resulting in his death due to the arrows. Gautham then risks reaching Sultan, who threatens to kill Sreenidhi and attacks him. By the time Sultan raises a sword on Gautham, Zara shoots Sultan with a gun and rearranges the trident. She tells later that she fell in a place where there were no rocks and reached the other shore of the flow and reached the chamber through another stairway. The trio rejoices as they see the treasure in front of them. Gautham becomes the proud owner of 900 diamonds of his grandfather, and Zara fulfills Siddiqui's last wish by handing over the entire wealth to the Pakistan Government after Gautham refuses to take any one single coin of it as it belongs not to him but the Government of Pakistan.

Butters Stotch begins acting out at school, after beating up a fellow student Scott Malkinson seemingly without provocation, and then later excoriating his male classmates for being stuck-up and disingenuous (save for Kenny McCormick, who he says is the only one who has any sense of dignity). When his parents learn of his increased anger, they explain to Butters that they are originally from Hawaii, that Butters is undergoing a biological stage that is similar to the instinct that compels salmon to migrate, and that he must make a solitary journey to his birthplace, to participate in a ceremony called ''hapanoa''. They tell him that he is Hawaiian royalty, as his grandparents were in Hawaii at the time of "The King", and give him a "Mahalo Rewards Card" to assist him in completing his journey. When Kyle Broflovski and the others hear that Butters is leaving, they urge Kenny, who is perceived to be Butters' "best friend" on account of Butters' prior remark, to stop him, but Kenny ends up going with him.

When the two boys arrive at Kauai, they are greeted by a group of "native Hawaiians" (who turn out to be simply White Americans owning timeshares there), who take them to their chief, David. They are acquainted with Butters' parents, and use the Mahalo Rewards Card to receive discounts as Hawaiian residents. They call Butters ''Keiki'', and introduce him to their drink, chi chi. Butters' hapanoa is interrupted, however, by the news that the Mahalo Rewards Card is being eliminated, and that their points will no longer be accepted. The "natives" fear this will eliminate any distinction between them and the mainlanders, or "haoles", whom they intend to fight. Soon a war erupts between the "natives" and the U.S. Coast Guard, beginning with Butters sinking a cruise ship with a golf ball. The Coast Guard nearly bring them to surrender by cutting off their supply of chi chi. Meanwhile, Kenny encounters the ghost of Elvis Presley at the abandoned Coco Palms Resort, who shows him a hidden trove of chi chi. Kenny brings this treasure back to the "natives", whose fighting spirit is renewed. The U.S. government decides to reinstate the Mahalo Rewards Card, and both Butters and Kenny are allowed to complete the hapanoa together. When asked if his anger has subsided, Butters admits that he is still jealous of Ben Affleck, who he says is very handsome, married to Jennifer Lopez, and a good film director. When informed that Affleck is now married to Jennifer Garner, Butters' anger is assuaged, and he walks happily off into the sunset with Kenny.

12-year-old Allison Adam lives with her mother and 2 brothers in an isolated farmhouse by Seneca Lake (a reservoir that was being planned at the time O'Brien wrote his story) near Washington D.C. Every day after school, Allie stops by the walled grounds of Villa Petrograd, property of the Soviet embassy, and climbs a tree to view monkeys at a small zoo there. Fond of animals, Allie is troubled that the monkeys keep dying mysteriously. Unknown to her, the embassy holds the secret research lab of Helmuth Schutz, a former Nazi now developing bioweapons for the Soviets—specifically, mutations of the bacteria ''coryna'' and ''anthracis''. Discovering Allie's spying, Schutz lures her into the compound by leaving a gate open and then kidnaps her for experiments. When her bike is later found near the Potomac River upstream from dangerous rapids, the police assume she fell in accidentally and drowned. Only Allie's 5-year-old brother Willis knows where she went, but he has promised her to keep it secret.

Meanwhile, the eminent biochemist Fergus O'Neil is recruited by the U.S. State Department, to study stolen Soviet reports from Schutz's Group 17, and investigate his activities at Villa Petrograd, by posing as a vacationer. After taking water samples one day, O'Neil rescues John Adam from nearly drowning, while testing the police's theory about his sister's bike accident. Sympathizing with the Adam family, and attracted to the recently widowed Mrs. Adam, O'Neil becomes personally concerned about Allie's disappearance.

Later, reading Schutz's old reports, O'Neil notices an obscure reference to the Steinkopf (Stone Head) Syndrome. Through research, he learns of Schutz's interest in a native Peruvian society that had lived in a hidden valley of the Andes, but died out after their water supply was contaminated with a mutagen. The name "steinkopf" refers to a giant stone head the natives built to propitiate their mountain god, in the hope he would lift the curse upon them. The name also describes the natives' affliction, a condition of utter passivity that left them dependent on instructions for all of their activities. (The mutagen makes people unable to exert themselves except under orders.) O'Neil discovers that throughout Schutz's reports there are hidden notes about private experiments to develop polywater with this mutagenic effect. These experiments continue a Nazi project to turn enemies of the Aryan "master race" into subservient ''Untermensch''. After nightmares about Schutz experimenting on chimpanzees, O'Neil also suspects Schutz kidnapped Allie, because he needed a human subject for his private experiments.

Quitting his job, so he can act independently, O'Neil joins an off-duty policeman on a night-time raid into the Soviet's compound to rescue Allie. But Schutz leaves the same night, taking Allie with him as a carrier of the polywater, and an example of its effect. Aided by an efficient network of Nazi friends, including the German Secretary of Defense, Schutz escapes back to Germany. Fortunately for Allie, he is forced to leave her in an airport when a ticket seller identifies her, and she is finally reunited with her mother. However, Allie has already become passive and emotionless, and it is unknown if her condition can be reversed. The story finishes with a brief epilogue that explains O'Neil's new job analyzing "Water X", a German expedition's "accidental" destruction of Incan ruins, and Schutz's comfortable life in Germany, where he has a new identity as a professor and his biochemical research is progressing well.

A poor cabinet-maker and his wife have two sons. They favour their eldest son called Hellmerich who's arrogant and selfish, but that they see him as brave and courageous, while his youngest called Hans, who's good and kind hearted, is seen by his parents as stupid. One day after making no sales, the cabinet-maker stops at an inn and overhears a conversation going on between two men saying that the Princess has been kidnapped and placed under a spell in the castle by an evil sorcerer. Whichever man accepts the challenge must complete three hard tasks, but if he succeeds he will be given the Princess' hand in marriage and win the Sorcerer's treasures. The cabinet-maker immediately returns to tell his family and asks Hellmerich to attempt this challenge. The eldest son agrees and his father uses his last savings to buy him a horse, armour and a sword. After saying goodbye to his family, he rides away into the distance. He goes through a forest that surrounds the Sorcerer's castle. As he rides through the forest, he tramples an anthill, kills some ducks near a pond, and destroys a beehive, leaving the bees homeless.

He eventually reaches the castle and bangs on the door impatiently. An old woman comes out and tells him to come back to the castle at nine o'clock. Angrily, Hellmerich spends the night in the forest. The next morning, he returns to the castle and the old woman appears with a basket full of seeds. She scatters them all over the grass and tells Hellmerich that, as his first task, he has one hour to pick all the seeds up and place them back in the basket. She leaves him and Hellmerich laughs out loud at what he sees as a pointless task and goes off for a walk instead. When he comes back, the woman is very indignant that he did not even attempt the task. Next, she takes twelve golden keys and throws them into a pond giving Hellmerich his second task. He has one hour to get all of them back. Once again, she leaves him. And again, Hellmerich doesn't attempt the task and goes for a walk instead. He comes back in an hour and the woman is indignant with him once more.

She gives him one last chance to complete the challenge. For the final task, she takes Hellmerich into the castle and, after going up a big winding staircase, they come to a room with three veiled figures. She warns him to think carefully before he makes his decision and then leaves, giving him one hour to decide. Seeing this task as the most foolish one yet, Hellmerich hastily chooses the figure on the right that is revealed to be a huge fire breathing dragon, while the left was another and the middle was the Princess. The Sorcerer orders the dragon to take Hellmerich in its teeth and throw him out of the window, killing him for his failure.

Sometime later, the cabinet-maker and his wife have been waiting patiently for any news of Hellmerich's success. After a while, Hans decides to take up the challenge. His father and mother are unconvinced, but their son wants to prove himself. Hans leaves without any transportation or protection for his father had sold all he had for his elder brother. He takes the same path through the forest, thanking the birds for their beautiful singing, helping rebuild the anthill, picking a lovely bunch of pollen flowers for the bees to help with their hive, and sharing his breakfast with some ducks. He arrives at the castle and politely asks the woman if he can attempt the challenge. The woman asks him to come back at nine. And when he does for next morning, she gives him the task with the seeds. Hans attempts but doesn't seem to be going very far and after a quarter of an hour, he nearly gives up. Suddenly, a long line of ants appear and pick up every single seed, placing them back in the basket. Hans is very grateful and thanks them. The old woman returns and is very pleased at Hans' progress. She again drops the twelve keys into the pond, giving Hans one hour to retrieve them all. Hans is worried for he is not a strong swimmer. He attempts, but it seems hopeless. When all seems hopeless, the ducks he met in the forest retrieve each one of the keys for him, Hans is once again very grateful and thanks them.

The old woman returns and is very impressed. She takes Hans to the room with the three veiled figures to attempt the final task. The Sorcerer himself is there too. Hans is warned by her of the consequences if he chooses the wrong one and leaves him, giving him one hour to decide. Hans is still pondering over his decision when a swarm of bees fly through the window and buzz around the figure in the middle. After the old woman comes back, Hans tells her and the Sorcerer that the middle one is the Princess. The veils fall revealing that Hans had made the right choice. Hans gratefully thanks the bees for their help. With the spell broken, the Sorcerer and the two dragons die and the beautiful Princess takes Hans back to her palace to be her husband. Hans' parents are invited to the wedding and even though they have lost Hellmerich, they are very pleased for their son and give him their blessing, ashamed for thinking so little of him.

As described in a film magazine, mistaking the intentions of Prince Anton (Denny) of Argovinia in seeking her hand, young English woman Katherine Dereham (Brady) suffers a great shock when his attentions culminate in a proposal that she be his morganatic wife, his country requiring an alliance with a royal princess. This, together with the blow of her father's death, shatters Katherine's nerves and causes a breakdown. She recovers under the rigid administrations of Dr. Garth Vincent (Crane). Her attitude of antagonistic exaggeration of his sternness that conceives it as sheer brutality makes her submission to the deep love he bears her a sorrowful task. His patience at last breaks her embittered spirit and sends her to his home, willing to accept his protection under compromising circumstances. The realness of his affection is at last revealed to her and Prince Anton, whose love for Katherine has made him risk his throne by divorcing his wife, is sent back to Argovinia.

The following article/source written in 2011 has a brief synopsis. BLANKED OUT PENDING CONTENT-->

Background

The small town of Twin Peaks, Washington, has been shocked by the murder of schoolgirl Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) and the attempted murder of her friend Ronette Pulaski (Phoebe Augustine). FBI special agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) has been sent to the town to investigate. During the investigation, Cooper has been shot in his hotel room by an unknown assailant and Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) has begun working undercover at One Eyed Jacks, a brothel and casino on the Canadian-United States border, to gather information. In Twin Peaks, Leo Johnson (Eric Da Re) has been shot by Hank Jennings (Chris Mulkey), Jacques Renault (Walter Olkewicz) has been murdered by Leland Palmer (Ray Wise), and The Packard Sawmill has been burnt down.

Events

Dale Cooper lies on the floor of his hotel room after being shot in the stomach. In the background, Deputy Andy Brennan calls out for Cooper from the telephone and The Waiter (Hank Worden) enters Cooper's room. He places a glass of warm milk on the table, hangs up the telephone and cannot understand Cooper's request to call a doctor. He leaves the room and re-enters twice, giving Cooper a thumbs up. A mysterious, semi-transparent figure enters the room and The Giant (Carel Struycken) appears above Cooper. The Giant tells Cooper three things: "there is a man in a smiling bag", "the owls are not what they seem" and "without chemicals, he points." He asks Cooper for his ring and tells him he will return it to him when he discovers the meaning of his clues. He vanishes after giving a fourth clue: "Leo locked inside a hungry horse, there is a clue at Leo's house." After The Giant vanishes, Cooper begins recording a message into his tape recorder for Diane, revealing his dying wishes. During his speech, Sheriff Truman (Michael Ontkean), Deputy Hawk (Michael Horse) and Deputy Brennan enter Cooper's room with weapons drawn and bring him to the hospital.

At the hospital, Cooper awakes and learns of Jacques Renault's murder, Leo Johnson's attempted murder and the Packard Sawmill fire. He recovers and brings Sheriff Truman, Deputy Brennan and Hawk to Leo's house to search for clues. Hawk finds a blanket doused in gasoline and Truman concludes Leo started the Packard Sawmill fire. FBI Special Agent Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer) arrives at the scene and Deputy Brennan, while alerting Cooper, steps on a loose plank, revealing an abundance of cocaine.

Meanwhile, Audrey Horne is working undercover at One Eyed Jacks and realises her father, Ben Horne (Richard Beymer), is the owner. Audrey hides behind a mask and almost has a sexual encounter with her father before he is brought away by his brother Jerry (David Patrick Kelly). At the Palmer household, Madeline "Maddy" Ferguson (Lee) tells Sarah Palmer (Grace Zabriskie) of a dream she had. Leland Palmer enters the room, singing "Mairzy Doats", and both women are shocked to discover his hair has turned white overnight. Sarah leaves the room and Maddy has a vision of blood spewing across the living room carpet. Maddy later meets Donna Hayward (Lara Flynn Boyle) at the Double R Diner and tells her about Leland's hair and sudden upbeat mood. Donna is given an anonymous letter by Norma Jennings (Peggy Lipton) telling her to look into the Meals on Wheels program.

Back at the Twin Peaks Sheriff Department, Deputy Brennan discovers the answer to one of The Giant's clues, revealing Leo was locked in a jail in Hungry Horse, Montana on the night Theresa Banks—the girl murdered by BOB a year before Laura Palmer—was murdered. Laura's secret boyfriend James Hurley (James Marshall) brings Sheriff Truman a cassette tape of Laura speaking to Doctor Jacoby (Russ Tamblyn). At the hospital, Cooper and Truman question Jacoby about Laura and Jacques Renault's murders. While at the hospital, Cooper sees Jacques' bodybag, which appears to be smiling, yielding another answer to The Giant's clues. Bobby Briggs (Dana Ashbrook) visits Shelly Johnson (Mädchen Amick) in hospital and later visits his father, Major Garland Briggs, who shares a story of his vision with Bobby, bringing Bobby to tears. Sheriff Truman visits Pete Martell (Jack Nance) about Josie Packard (Joan Chen)'s disappearance following the mill fire. Ben and Jerry Horne question Hank Jennings about Leo's shooting. At One Eyed Jacks, Blackie O'Reilly, the brothel/casino's manager, berates Audrey Horne about not sleeping with the owner. During a dinner at the Haywards' home, Leland Palmer sings and suddenly collapses.

Later that night, Cooper is visited again by The Giant. The Giant informs him not to search for all of the answers to his clues at once and that "a path is formed by laying one stone at a time." He also informs Cooper "one person saw the third man" and he is known to Cooper. He ends his visit by telling Cooper that he forgot something. The Giant shines a light on Cooper and at the hospital, Ronette Pulaski enters a spasm in her coma. Ronette has flashback visions of Laura Palmer being murdered by BOB. After murdering Laura, BOB laughs maniacally.

In Washington Judith attracts the attention of two suitors; Congressman Hamill (Oliver) and Robert Courtney (Boyd). Her father is keen for her to make a choice so that he can pursue his own relationship with the widowed Mrs. Langley (Van Buren), who refuses to marry him until Judith is out of the picture. Unsure which man to choose, Judith comes up with the idea of a "trial marriage" for each man at her aunt's woodland cabin, chaperoned by her old nurse.

Judith soon decides that Congressman Hamill is terribly boring and not the man for her. However, a servant at the lodge has recognised him and reported his presence to the newspapers, claiming that he has eloped with Judith. When the news appears in the papers, Hamill is forced to travel to the village to telephone through a denial; however, the published news has brought Courtney to the lodge ahead of his allotted time, as well as Tod Musgrove, who is determined to win Judith.

In the meantime, Senator Baldwin has secretly wed Mrs. Langley, and they arrive at the lodge anticipating a quiet honeymoon. Instead they find their daughter, her two Washington suitors, the assembled press, and Tod, who is threatening to shoot both men. Rejected by Judith and threatened by Tod, Hamill and Courtney depart swiftly, leaving Judith to decide upon Tod as the only husband for her.

The film begins shortly after the outbreak of World War II when Günther Prien reports to the commander of the U-boat force, Karl Dönitz. Dönitz orders Prien as commander of ''U-47'' to penetrate the Royal Navy's primary base at Scapa Flow to inflict as much damage as possible. Prien accomplishes his mission and receives a hero's welcome on his return.

Following these events, pastor Kille, a former schoolmate of Prien, approaches Prien in the need for help. Kille offers refuge to victims of Nazi oppression. Prien initially declines, stating he is a soldier and not involved in politics. The attempt by Kille's sister Alwine, who is engaged to Prien's first officer Thomas Birkeneck, also fails to convince Prien.

As the war progresses, Prien is plagued by his bad conscience, asking himself if his attitude is correct. A dramatic incident occurs following the sinking of a freighter. ''U-47'' rescues two survivors. These turn out to be German refugees who are trying to escape from Nazi Germany. The two chose to remain at sea over the prospect of returning to Germany.

Prien finally believes, that as a figure of public interest, he could influence and change something for the better. He goes to visit the imprisoned pastor Kille. Prien promises him help, not realizing that their conversation is overheard. Thus Prien himself gets into the focus of the Gestapo, the Secret State Police.

The visit remains without consequences for Prien. ''U-47'' is sunk on his next war patrol. Prien and his cook (''Der Smut'') are rescued by a British ship, which is then sunk by another German submarine under the command of Prien's former first officer, Birkeneck.

Tom Quinn (Matthew Macfadyen) questions him in hospital, learning that the mullah is recruiting suicide bombers, however the stress of the questioning results in a cerebral hemorrhage. Superior Harry Pearce (Peter Firth) pressures Tom to find another agent. He turns to Tessa Phillips (Jenny Agutter), now a manager at a security firm since she was fired in the first series finale for running phantom agents for monetary gain. However, she refuses to help.

Later, new officer Ruth Evershed, transferred from Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), informs the team that Metropolitan Police have arrested Muhammed Ibhn Khaldun, an Algerian secret service agent. After his release Khaldun reveals that since the death of his family, he desired to leave Algeria to work for British intelligence, so he fooled his agency into believing he was killed while stopping a jihadist group in France, before smuggling himself into England via a Channel Tunnel freight train. The team allow him to work undercover in Parkmount, posing as a labourer at the local university, where he quickly gains Rachid's trust. Beforehand however, Khaldun removes all the surveillance equipment on him. Furthermore, news of Khaldun's arrival also gains the interest of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who also wish to use him.

In the meantime, Danny Hunter (David Oyelowo) persuades Tom to go on a date with Vicky Westbrook (Natasha Little), a nurse introduced in the previous episode, in order to get over Ellie Simm, Tom's previous girlfriend who broke up with him. Although Tom asks her out for dinner, the two end up having sex. Zoe Reynolds (Keeley Hawes) continues seeing Carlo Franceschini (Enzo Cilenti), also introduced in the previous episode, at a bar.

When Khaldun fails to meet with Tom, the team worry that he had deceived them. However, that night, Khaldun sneaks into Tom's bedroom at the university campus, and warns him that Rachid is keeping explosives, and a suicide attack will take place the next day, but will not disclose where. Tom turns to Parkmount's imam Fazul Azzam (Roshan Seth), who opposes Rachid's radicalised views. After learning Fazzul's daughter Aminah (Praveen Sond) is involved, he forces her into revealing the location of the planned attack. Rachid is placed under arrest when explosives are found in his prayer room. Khaldun meanwhile, kills Rachid's men in an empty building, and attempts to disarm the bomber, young Abu Hassan (Taahir Husein), but he runs away into a playground. As Tom's team and local police surround the playground, Khaldun attempts to talk Abu out of the attack. However, when he fails, Khaldun throws himself as Abu detonates the bomb, in order to avoid further casualties. Later, CIA liaison Christine Dale voices disappointment towards Khaldun's death, but appears grateful that Tom is unharmed.

Newly turned vampire Elena tries to cope with the highs and lows that are now part of her life, while Stefan and Damon come to blows arguing what is best for her. Stefan and Elena want her to drink animal blood while Damon thinks she should drink human blood from the vein. After she tries animal blood, Elena vomits it back up. As there is a memorial being held for the Council, April Young, Pastor Young's daughter, arrives. Elizabeth questions Damon at the Grill on whether he killed the Council, as he has a tendency to kill enemies on the spot. Damon denies it (the viewers know this to be true, as Young had caused the explosion on purpose). Later, Elena comes to Damon and asks him the same thing, though she then admits how she has trouble digesting animal blood. Not surprised, Damon takes her into the bathroom and feeds her his blood, though he warns her not to tell Stefan, as he would be furious.

Meanwhile, while Tyler and Caroline are in his room, his mother answers the door to a new man in town named Conner, who is investigating the Council's accident. When Tyler comes down to check, he shakes Conner's hand which has a vervain-drenched gloves, and Tyler's vampire side reacts. Conner then shoots Tyler with bullets in front of his mother, showing he is a vampire hunter. Tyler manages to get away with Conner in suit. Caroline comes down to see a horrified Carol.

Caroline and Tyler go to see Stefan to get the bullets out, and he notices a strange sign on them. He takes to Bonnie, who is still upset over the events of the previous episode. Nevertheless, she lets Stefan into her house for the first time. She confirms the markings are not magical, though she does not know what they are.

Elena goes to Mystic Falls Church and meets with April (who she used to babysit). She admits her fear at giving a speech. Elena tries to comfort her, but her blood lust causes her to run to the bathroom. She vomits all the blood Damon gave her all over the bathroom floor and gets some on herself. She calls Damon and asks him to bring her another dress. She has a close run-in with Conner, though Damon arrives on time to save her as she cleans the bathroom. Damon gives her a human blood bag to help her, but even this does not work, as she can barely drink it. Damon can only guess Elena's Doppelganger side will not allow her to drink a substitute. Though this supports Damon's theory of her needing fresh blood, Elena still refuses for fear that she will kill a person by accident.

Conner kidnaps April by stabbing her and tying her up. He waits on the balcony for a vampire to step up with a gun. During the memorial, Elena tries to take her place when she does not come up, but April's blood is dripping, which Stefan, Damon, Elena, Caroline, and Tyler can hear. Stefan gets Elena before she loses it, but she clearly needs fresh blood. Matt, still feeling guilty about her death, allows her to feed off him under the guise that he is comforting her, which helps her. Tyler, to distract Conner, steps up and is shot. Panicked, everyone runs out. Carol and Caroline help Tyler while Damon and Stefan go after Conner. Elena sets off to find April.

Damon and Conner get into a struggle with Conner nearly killing Damon, but is stopped by Stefan. He drives away. Stefan hits Damon for having fed Elena his blood.

Elena finds April tied up and bloody, and is about to feed on her (which would likely kill her) until she is stopped by Caroline. She calms Elena and convinces her to compel April to forget the events, which works.

While Matt and Jeremy are at the Grill, they meet Conner, who inquires about the mark Elena left on Matt's neck. He claims his girlfriend caused (a hickey) and Jeremy compliments Conner on his tattoo. When they leave, Matt states Conner has no tattoo, with the viewer no longer seeing it; only Jeremy can see it.

Conner reads the letter Young had left April in the undestroyed oven in his house and reads his actions having been done to avoid the 'greater evil' coming to town.

Later, after Stefan briefly scolds Elena for not telling him the truth, he softens when it becomes clear that Elena is suffering emotionally. He calls everyone together to mourn all their lost loved ones. Damon, however, leaves, as he feels they have more important things to worry about. Nonetheless, Damon goes to Alaric Saltzman's grave and talks to him. Unknown to Damon, Alaric's spirit is there listening. After Damon is done ranting and leaves, Alaric says, "I miss you too, buddy."

Psychotherapist Dr David Wright is in a session with depressed physicist Karl, who tells him about a thought experiment called Quantum Suicide. Karl then goads Dr Wright about another patient, Rene (who has recently taken his own life), provoking him into an angry outburst.

Rene's sister, Erika, arrives in London to sort out her brother's affairs. She discovers something curious - his apartment is almost empty: a cup, a spoon, a fork, a knife, frames without pictures, torn photos... One more curiosity: Four dated descriptions of moments in Rene's life.

Another patient dies, leaving another list of memories. There's something strange going on. Something sinister behind these 'suicides'... David Wright, who starts the film having lost faith in psychotherapy (seeing the quest for happiness as futile in a world of misery) is energised by the mystery behind the deaths of his patients.

David quizzes Erika for clues about her brother. In the following argument, David flushes her brother's ashes down the toilet in a rage. While she weeps, he discovers a number burnt into the bottom of her brother's ashes urn. Erika tells David her deceased brother wishes them to call the number. David says it is not a telephone number, so if he calls it and someone answers, then everything he knows about the universe is wrong.

At home, David calls the number. A woman answers and asks who gave him the number. On instinct, David tells her his patient Karl gave him the number and she gives him an address to meet First Contact. After bluffing his way into a meeting with First and Second Contact he awakes naked in his house, stripped of his belongings in the same fashion as his dead patients. Hearing Erika's farewell from his answering machine, his desperate bid to save her leads to another dead end and another dead body.

Seeming to confirm David's belief that all struggle is futile, and coming through his subsequent mental breakdown, he meets Karl and accepts his conditions for a meeting with Third Contact. Waking in a dark underground laboratory, he discovers he has been part of an experiment called 'Quantum Suicide' where memories become 'destinations' and your obsession with the past can lead you to a chance of happiness in a parallel world.

David finally meets the man behind the mysterious suicides - Third Contact - and is horrified to discover it is himself, but 30 years older. The experience is too much for his mind and he passes out again. When he wakes, he finds the mysterious women who answered his call tending to him. She explains how they use a bullet, inserted into the brain, to send someone who has had enough of this life to their chosen "destination" - which will be one of four specific listed memories. David takes out his list and reads. The woman declares that he is ready to go and injects him with an anesthetic, sending him to sleep.

He wakes in total darkness. Finds a torch and navigates his way back past a cellar full of belongings. He finds the underground lab again, but now all the equipment has been removed. All that remains is the 30 year old David Wright, with a hole drilled in his head, David's list of memories still clutched in his dead hand.

Back in time, David is in the garden with Theresa, in the moment when they were last happy, before she disappeared. As they hold each other tight, full of love, peering from the shadows of the kitchen window can just be seen - the old Dr. David Wright.

Peter (Joshua Jackson), after injecting the Observer implant in his own body, returns to Etta's safe-house to mourn her loss. Olivia (Anna Torv), worried about Peter becoming distant, finds him, and reminds him they should deal with Etta's loss together.

Meanwhile, Walter (John Noble) continues to work at extracting video tapes from the ambered part of the lab. One tape directs him to an apartment building in Worcester, with one specific apartment being an entrance to a pocket universe he has created to hide this element of the plan to defeat the Observers. He decides to travel there alone, finding that the building and much of the surrounding area has been shelled by an Observer attack in the past. In the appropriate apartment, Walter follows instructions on the tape that let him enter the pocket universe where the normal rules of physics do not apply, with hallways running upside down or in vertical directions, as in a work of M.C. Escher. Walter tries to remember where to look, but while trying to come up with this, he encounters a man named Cecil (Zak Santiago) who happened into the pocket universe while taking shelter from the Observer bombing. Walter realizes that, to Cecil, only about 5 days have passed, but in reality he has been in the pocket universe for more than 20 years.

Peter, Olivia, and Astrid (Jasika Nicole) discover the latest video tape — and Walter's absence. They are curious that the tape simply goes black after showing Walter crossing over. They travel together to Boston, and Peter and Olivia follow the tape's instructions to cross over, finding that in the pocket universe the tape now shows additional instructions directing the viewer to a specific room. They meet up with Walter and Cecil, Walter agonizing over forgetting what he left here. Peter realizes someone else helped Walter record the video in the past, who Walter identifies as "Donald", the man previously captured by the Observers as he tried to recover rocks from a mine (as seen in "The Recordist"). Continuing to review the tape, they find that in the past, Walter has recovered the young Observer-like boy (as seen in "Inner Child"), and used the pocket universe to stow the child away in the designated room. The group finds the room, but it is empty, save a radio that is fused to a certain frequency, something that Walter did not give the boy in the past. Walter fears that the Observers have found this pocket universe and have the child. Peter notes that only Walter and Donald appeared to know about this pocket universe.

Walter's travel to Boston does not go unnoticed by the Observers and they take a contingent to the building. Some Observers enter the apartment, and incapacitate Astrid. The audience is shown how the Observers "see" the world, using computer-like vision that is tinted blue and devoid of most other colors. They are able to see the entrance to the pocket, which is invisible to humans. They cross over to the pocket universe, and fire upon the group, killing Cecil. The others manage to escape out of the pocket universe, with Peter navigating with ease, despite the confusing hallways. Once out, Peter implores Walter, Olivia, and Astrid to escape while he hangs back. When an Observer approaches, the implant in Peter's body increases his reflexes and strength to the point where he can counter the Observer's moves. While fighting, the Observer warns that Peter does not realize the effects the implant will have on him, and that it was a mistake to use the implant at all. Peter uses the implant's teleportation for the first time, teleporting behind the Observer and snapping his neck, killing him. He then teleports away to rejoin his group. Captain Windmark watches this from afar, while high on a building behind him, a stenciled picture of Etta urges the humans to "Resist".

Peter arrives safely at the monorail with Walter and Olivia, without telling them how he escaped. Walter worries that he sees Cecil's death as an acceptable loss, an attitude that his former self used to have and worries that he is reverting to this colder personality, as a side-effect of having the previously removed portions of his brain restored (as occurred in "Letters of Transit"). Peter gently reassures him that he will not let that happen, as he holds Walter's hands between his. Olivia, seated further down the aisle, looks at them and smiles tenderly; Peter gives a slight smile then returns his attention to Walter. A few seconds later, he looks back up down the aisle and sees the world the way the Observers see it, machine-like and devoid of most colors. His eyes widen in surprise as the episode ends.

Of Xman's background, we learn he was born an oversized orphan in Eunuque Falls, Iowa, a suburb of Old Balls, raised in an orphanage outside of Cincinnati, and ended up in the city C or C— some time before the novel begins. Xman had minutes of experience in podiatry school, after which he worked on a construction gang in the Berkeley hills.

Xman, seeking to make himself unique, takes a cab to the airport, flies to New York City, then rides a bus to Grand Central Station. He walks up Second Avenue, sometimes giving derelicts a few cents. He finds the hotel his friends recommended, the Microtraumata Royale. Taking a room, he listens to an argument in the room next door between Fatima "Fa", and a man that Xman dubs (-)Xman.

Jed Perlmutter introduces Xman to Jensen MacDuffers, who wants to introduces him to Tom McTomTom, but instead directs him to Amos and Alphonse Finaglie, who run an employment agency high up in the World Trade Center. Rose Baldachino handles Xman's case. While addressing Xman, Rosalie walks in with a folder for Rose. Xman moves in with Rosalie. He gets a temporary job, working for Fish, who delivers, before Xman has actually done anything, a long speech on the quality of Xman's work and work habits, interrupted by the arrival of Brunhildine. When she leaves, Fish continues his speech, including the story of Brunhildine, and how she's trapped.

Next, Xman works for Mitch Rollins. Then Rose B. calls with work for Xaviero, which requires impersonation on Xman's part. He is given an assignment involving patients and one Doctor von der Schmücke. To clear his mind, Xman went for a walk near the marina, and overheard Gottfied and Xaviero, who eventually revealed themselves to Xman. Xaviero tells Xman that all he had told Xman about disease was wrong, since they believed their conversation was being tapped by Fatima Buck.

Next day, dodging Fish, arrives at his assignment with Xaviero and Gottfried, who deny meeting Xman the night before. They introduce Xman to Dr. Q., who talks on about symptoms and patients. Xman takes off for his lunchbreak to see Rollins in his new office. Rollins criticizes Xman for looking for raw material in the wrong way, so he tells Xman the story of Z, the great creator, who would throw himself into the "disaster of the everyday."

Subdued, a more docile Xman returns the next day to Xaviero. In the waiting room is Dr. Quixot with a lady patient. Dr. Quixot takes out a medical brochure he received from Xaviero, and proceeds to criticize it, but Xman delivers a rousing speech on impersonation, and tells Xaviero he is leaving, he needs something "consecrated to the destruction—on a grand scale—of all professions." He continues speechifying, culminating in a demand the right labels. As he exits, quitting, he hears Xaviero deny they use labels in any form.

Xman returns home, anxious over his unemployment, and is unable to control his temper with Rosalie. They head out together and meet the taxi driver from C— who had driven Xman to the airport. He credits Xman for inspiring him to come to New York City. Xman and Rosalie return, and continue to argue. Eventually Xman returns to Xaviero, listens to Xaviero's speech, and gives up again. He goes home to Rosario, gives up again, walks around, and is hit by a truck.

Xman recuperates in B— —B— —B— —Hospital, where he is visited by Rose, MacDuffers, and Perlmutter. They talk. Several days later, Rosalie shows up to take him home to their new apartment, out on "a little island in the East River." No progress in their relation is made, and Xman returns to Rose, who tells him she has no jobs, but instead tells him about Pman, a former job seeker with their agency, who closely resembles Xman. The story of Pman ends inconclusively, and Rose tells Xman to give up his search for 'the true work,' and to settle for "a symptom". She calls the truck accident a suicide attempt.

Xman leaves, and wanders around Manhattan, debating on whether Rose is correct. He ends up listening to a soapbox orator who reminds Xman of (-)Xman, lecturing on "The Age of the Symptom", seemingly tailor-made for Xman (for example, "sometimes we are ready to throw ourselves in front of a truck"), culminating in the "Story of the Man and of the Bench". Certain that he has to get to Park, he hurries along, hoping to be hit in exactly the same manner, and is suddenly interrupted in his dream-like thoughts.

Xman wakes up in a hospital. The nurse and the doctor are talking about Xman, trying to interest him in their project. The nurse is Fatima, she leaves, the doctor tells him she had been here to see Xaviero McShayne, who had just expired. The doctor leaves, Rosalie shows up, with her just-born infant. Rosalie and baby leave, and Fatima and the doctor return, and they speak, mostly Fatima telling her story, trying to recruit Xman. She ends by telling Xman there is a paid-for room waiting for him in a hotel near Times Square, and a check for his immediate needs.

Running around lower Manhattan, Xman, now frequently referred to as Xman von Dungen, at some point notices he has a pursuer, and after failing to shake him, ends up sharing a cafe table with him. After long conversation, Xman agrees to attend the offered terrorist cell meeting, led by Fatima. The pursuer, known as "The Lieutenant", gives a speech on the benefits of working with Fatima. Along the way, we learn the Lieutenant's is known as Siegfried, nickname Ziggy, real name Mahatma, commonly abbreviated S/M.

Speeches over, Xman goes wandering through Manhattan again, ends up to see Rosalie and he hopes his child. She tells him "it's too late," and reads to their child the story of a very poor Caucasian woodcutter, Sven, his wife, Yekaterina Ivanovnanookna, and their seventeen strapping sons. The point of the story is that things are over between Rosalie and Xman, and so he leaves.

Wandering around he sees a few Arabs leave a car, shoot two people, then drive off. Xman continues to wander, spots Fatima, follows her into a movie theater, sits down by her. Fatima asks Xman what he thought of the Arabs, and discusses her terrorism. After annoying the other patrons with their conversation, they leave for a coffee shop, continuing their conversation. They end up at the hotel near Times Square, with more of Fatima's group. Eventually, Xman is assigned to work with Gunhildo né Grigorevitch, and they blow up a bridge next day, timed for a prominent slumlord's crossing. At his next meeting, Xman is told to go away for a while. He pays another visit to Rosalie and their child. When he leaves, Xman feels he is advancing toward death, and this secret makes him feel infinitely strong.

With the others, Xman attends the funeral of the slumlord. Xman finds that death is what he's looking for: "captionless and devoid of symptomal content.". During a eulogy, Siegfried throws Xman a sawed-off shotgun, who fires, first at Fatima, then the others. Chaos breaks out, Xman himself is shot, he throws a bomb, and dies.

In Kings Cross, Sydney, three friends end up being hunted by every thug and killer when they incur the wrath of a mob boss after they break into the entertainment business.David Stratton, ''The Avocado Plantation: Boom and Bust in the Australian Film Industry'', Pan MacMillan, 1990 p252

Flashing forward to 2012, Leo and Teresa, two recently married horror fanatics, visit Briarcliff, an abandoned mental institution. While reaching through a hatch in one of the doors to peek a camera in a room that the couple heard noise in, Leo's arm is severed. Teresa runs to get help, but finds the entryway locked up behind them. When looking for another way out, she discovers a hidden tunnel and encounters one famous serial killer who resided in the asylum, "Bloody Face", wearing a mask of human skin.

In 1964, Kit Walker lives with his African-American wife Alma, in secret. While at home together, a series of explosions, bright lights, loud noises and apparent anti-gravity occur during which Alma disappears and Kit is rendered unconscious. He is supposedly kidnapped and operated on by aliens.

Lana Winters, an ambitious journalist tired of fluff stories given to her by her paper, goes on her own to Briarcliff Sanitarium to report on the commitment of serial killer "Bloody Face". Sister Jude Martin, the asylum's authoritarian administrator, does not take a liking to Lana or her questioning. Unknown to anyone, Jude harbors sexual feelings for the sanitarium's founder, Monsignor Timothy Howard, who is an ambitious priest aiming to become Pope. At the sanitarium, the alleged murderer is Kit, accused of skinning three women – including Alma – alive. He is being held pending determination if he is sane enough to stand trial. Kit denies ever killing anyone, blaming Alma's disappearance instead on extra-terrestrials, which Jude does not believe.

Kit later encounters other inmates, including Shelley, a nymphomaniac, and Grace, a seemingly sane patient committed for allegedly killing and cutting up her family. Spivey, a bully in the asylum, picks a fight with Kit. Jude breaks up the fight, and the guards drag Kit to solitary confinement.

Jude has a conversation with the institution's physician, Dr. Arden. She wonders why some patients who had died under mysterious circumstances all had no family or friends and asks what had become of their bodies, to which Arden contends that they all were cremated. Later, Dr. Arden secretly sedates Kit and, back in his lab, cuts Kit's neck when he finds a hard mass, extracting a metallic object that grows legs and flees while Kit has apparent flashbacks to alien abduction.

Sister Mary Eunice is sent by Dr. Arden to feed something in the woods. Lana encounters her there and joins her as she flees back through the secret tunnel. While sneaking around the asylum, Lana is attacked by something in one of the isolation rooms. Upon waking, she is locked in a sanitarium room as its newest patient. She learns from Jude that she visited Lana's lesbian partner, Wendy, and by threatening to out both Wendy and Lana, Jude has Wendy sign papers committing Lana to the asylum.

After a woman is tossed off a building, her murder is investigated by her husband, who is an investigative reporter, her lover, who is a former US marine, and her friend, who is a homicide detective.

After having sex with her boyfriend, a woman is shocked when he transforms into Freddy Krueger, who she mistakes for Edward James Olmos. Freddy seduces the woman with his glove, which has vibrators affixed to the fingers.

At the second annual Elm Street High School reunion, three women discuss how all their classmates have mysteriously died. The sex ed professor appears and corrects them, explaining that their classmates fell into orgasm-induced "pleasure comas" while they slept. The professor theorizes it is the work of Freddy, a sex toy salesman who sold overpriced and shoddy merchandise. Angered by Freddy's defective products, the townspeople set him on fire, with the professor throwing the first match ("That guy sold me a crappy toy. Told me it was a Fleshlight. It turned out just to be a flashlight"). Freddy burnt from the waist up, and as he died he swore he would get his revenge on his killers through their children. The professor is dumbfounded by the girls failing to remember this (they witnessed Freddy's burning, and attended the block party celebrating the event) and warns them not to fall asleep.

At home, Betty tries to keep herself awake by watching the porno ''Dead Man Fucking'', but the video turns into one showing Freddy having sex with a female guard in a prison cell. When Freddy finishes with the guard he attacks Betty, but she wakes up. At the school, Betty tells the others about her nightmare, and the professor admits he once had a dream about Freddy ("It's not gay") where he saw Freddy's glove long enough to allow him to create a replica of it. Thinking the copy can help them find Freddy's weakness, the professor gives the glove to Kami. Kami masturbates into unconsciousness with the glove, and is rendered comatose by Freddy.

While the professor takes Kami to a hospital and Betty goes home, Denise stays behind ("If I learned anything from horror movies, it's that the psychotic fictional horror villain never goes for the hot girl in a room that's dark when she's all alone and most vulnerable"). Hearing noises coming from her old textbook, Denise flips through the book, and sees herself and the professor having sex in them. Denise is transported into the book, and when she and the professor finish fornicating, the professor turns into Freddy, and he puts Denise into a coma.

Fed up with living in fear, Betty goes to sleep, and confronts Freddy in her dream. The two have sex, and when Freddy tries to put her into a coma afterward, Betty reveals she stole his glove's batteries ("Now all you have to turn those girls on is that burnt face, and that 1980s sweater"). With Freddy robbed of his power, Betty wakes up, wonders if it was all just a dream, and discovers her underwear is soaked through.

The story is set in the Caucasian city of Shemakhi, which was a provincial town in pre-revolutionary Russia. The love story involves Seyran, a son of a potter, who secretly meets with Susan, to whom he is engaged. The Armenian customs didn't tolerate this and strictly prohibited such behavior. When a neighbor catches them during one of their secret meetings, rumors of their actions spread around the neighborhood and her family decides to marry her to another man, in order to restore the family's honor. They choose Rustam, a rich merchant, for Susan to marry. Seyran slanders Susan by saying that he owns her. Rustam kills Susan, considered himself disgraced by Seyran's actions. At the end, Seyran commits suicide upon hearing about his lover's death.

Gerardo (Jorge Negrete) and his friend Demetrio (Julio Villarreal) are a pair of footloose cowboys in turn-of-the-century Mexico who are in prison on dubious charges. As Gerardo sings and strums on his guitar, Demetrio saws the bars of their cell, enabling them to escape. They come upon a small oil field operated by José Enrique (Francisco Jambrina), an entrepreneur from Argentina who is refusing to sell out to evil oil barons who threaten the workers. Gerardo persuades José to give work to him and his friends, and after he and Demetrio recruit more workers, they're able to rejuvenate the struggling operation. Just as their fortunes are on the rise, however, the oilman disappears and is feared murdered. Demetrio takes over the operation next, but, again, the night before the oil is to start pumping, he goes to the casino and falls for Camelia (Mercedes Barba), the same girl José was last seen with before he vanished, and he too disappears.

José's sister Mercedes (Libertad Lamarque) travels to Mexico to find out what's become of him, and when she learns that Gerardo has taken over as manager, she's convinced that Gerardo and his pals are to blame. Wanting to know more about Gerardo and his cronies, she takes a job as a singer at "Gran Casino," a rowdy nightclub near the oil fields. In time, she strikes up a romance with the good-hearted roughneck and learns the identity of her brother's real enemy—Don Fabio (José Baviera), the local front for Big Oil.

Hoping to document any paranormal activity, they record the experience using various cameras. Earl stands guard outside as the others head inside. He soon hears a strange noise coming from a large pipe, and sticks his head inside to see what it is, becoming decapitated by an unseen force. In the building, the group hears Sarah screaming, and find her facing a wall with scratches on her arms, and decide to let her rest in one of the bedrooms. Adam is soon dragged off, and killed by an unseen force, which is revealed to be the ghost of Richard Speck when it invades Sarah's room, and briefly undresses her before killing her.

In 1987, Olympic wrestling champion Mark Schultz speaks at an elementary school in place of his older brother, Dave. Both are Olympic gold medal winners in 1984, but Mark feels overshadowed by Dave. Mark is contacted by philanthropist and wrestling enthusiast John E. du Pont, an heir to the E.I. du Pont family fortune, who arranges to fly Mark to his estate in Pennsylvania where du Pont has built a private wrestling training facility. Du Pont invites Mark to join his wrestling team, Team Foxcatcher, to be paid to train for the World Championship. Mark accepts the offer, with du Pont urging him to enlist Dave as well. Dave declines for the sake of his wife and two children, who are settled where they live, so Mark moves to Pennsylvania alone.

Mark stays in a homey guest house ("The Chalet") and is greeted there later in the night by du Pont. Through training with his new teammates and du Pont's financial support, Mark excels with Foxcatcher, winning a Gold Medal at the 1987 World Wrestling Championships. Du Pont praises him, and they develop a friendship. Du Pont introduces Mark to cocaine, which he starts to use regularly. He confides in Mark, whom he now calls a true friend, telling him how his mother, Jean du Pont, paid a boy to act as his friend. John organizes and funds an over-50 masters wrestling tournament, which he wins after his opponent is paid to lose the final match. However, Jean tells her son that she believes wrestling is a "low sport" and does not like seeing him "being low". One day, Mark and his teammates in Foxcatcher take the morning off from training to watch mixed martial arts (MMA) on TV. Angered by this (as well as Mark's bitter refusal to be in his brother's presence in Team Foxcatcher), John slaps Mark and berates him, saying that he will enlist Dave by any means necessary while also demanding that Mark work out his differences with his brother as soon as possible.

Dave decides to move with his family to Pennsylvania so he can join Foxcatcher. His self-esteem damaged by du Pont, Mark decides to work and train alone, pushing away both John and Dave. As Team Foxcatcher prepares to enter the preliminaries for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, John’s mother is escorted into his gym to watch him coach his team. He awkwardly demonstrates basic maneuvers for her and the other wrestlers. Jean leaves in disgust after seeing him give his back to his student.

At the 1988 Olympic Trials in Pensacola, Florida, Mark performs poorly, losing his first match. Angered by his failure, Mark destroys his room and goes on an eating binge, before Dave manages to break into his room and is alarmed at his brother's condition. They work feverishly so Mark can make his weight class. As Mark exercises, John arrives and attempts to speak with him, but Dave turns him away. Mark competes well enough to win his match and make the Olympic team. Dave notices that du Pont is absent, learning that he left for Pennsylvania after being told his mother died. After returning to the estate, Mark tells Dave that "you and I both know that I can't stay" at Foxcatcher once the Olympics are over and asks Dave to leave with him. A documentary funded by John about his exploits with Team Foxcatcher is made, during which Dave is asked to praise him as coach and mentor; he reluctantly does so. Mark loses his matches in Seoul, after which he leaves Team Foxcatcher. While Dave continues to live at John’s estate and train with Foxcatcher, as a condition for his remaining, he negotiates an arrangement with du Pont to continue to support Mark financially.

Later, John is seen sitting alone in his mansion's trophy room watching the documentary about Team Foxcatcher, which ends with Mark complimenting him at a ceremony depicted earlier. John calls his bodyguard and drives to Dave's home, where he finds him in the driveway working on his car radio. As Dave approaches John's car to greet him, John pulls a gun on him and asks him if he has a problem with him before shooting him three times and driving away. Dave's wife, Nancy runs out to her husband, who dies in her arms. Setting a trap for John at his home, the police ambush and arrest him, and the film ends showing Mark as he competes in a cage fighting match with the crowd's cheers ringing in his head.

Richard Grindle, a clown with the stage name "Stitches", is having sex with a woman in his camper. During intercourse, she notices an egg encased in a glass tube with a face painted on it. Stitches explains that "they" made him do it when he signed up. Stitches arrives late at Tommy's tenth birthday party. He attempts to entertain the children, but they instead ridicule him. Tommy's best friend Vinnie ties Stitches' shoelaces together, and Tommy throws a soccer ball on his face, causing him to trip and land on a kitchen knife on the other side of the room, unseen to the children, which penetrates his face. As the children come to find out, Stitches slowly gets up, revealing the knife lodged in his eye. Seeing him, all of the kids scream in terror and run away. However, Tommy stays; when Stitches removes the knife, blood gushes out of his head. After it stops bleeding, he attempts to stab Tommy, only to slip on a puddle of blood. Stitches falls on the floor as the knife falls into his eye a second time, killing him. Tommy visits Stitches' grave to put a squeaky flower on top, only to find a group of clowns entering an abandoned building. Tommy enters the building to find the clowns performing a ritual with Stitches' egg. One member discovers Tommy and brings him to the cult's leader, The Motley. The Motley warns to Tommy that a clown who dies and never finishes the party will never rest in peace, and a joke is not as funny the second time.

Six years later, Tommy is preparing for his sixteenth birthday. He is still haunted by the memory of his past birthday, and begins to have frightening hallucinations, such as a teacher turning into a clown and ripping off Vinnie's genitals before tying them to a party balloon. Hesitating at the idea of throwing a large party, he considers instead inviting only a few friends. Ultimately, he settles on a large gathering, and Vinnie secretly distributes many more invitations over the Internet. Tommy, Vinnie, Richie and Bulger, all of whom had been present when Stitches died, prepare the house. As the guests, including Tommy's childhood crush Kate, arrive for the party, Stitches comes back to life and leaves his grave.

Tommy, startled by Paul dressed as a clown, injures his head. Bulger goes to find Tommy a first-aid kit, while Tommy retreats to his treehouse followed by Kate. There, Tommy discusses his memories of the ritual he had encountered as a child. Meanwhile, Paul is attacked by Stitches, who rips off his ear and one of his arms and pulls a live rabbit out of his throat before kicking his head off. The clown then finds Bulger, opens up his skull with a can opener, and removes his brain with an ice cream scooper. Sarah, Paul's girlfriend, enters the attic to look for him. There, she is attacked by Stitches, and manages to fight back. As she tries to escape, Stitches drives an umbrella through her skull, killing her. Through his telescope, Tommy sees Stitches in the house, and goes to warn Vinnie of his presence, but is at first unsuccessful, due to Vinnie's desire to have sex with a formerly overweight classmate. Tommy tries to warn Kate and the other partygoers, but they don't believe him.

Outside, Stitches attacks Richie. Richie attempts to flee but trips and falls. Stitches rips out his intestines and fashions them into a balloon animal before stabbing him with a bike pump and inflating him. Stitches manages to pump enough air into Richie to cause his head to explode. Vinnie, on discovering Tommy to be telling the truth, attempts to leave, but Stitches attacks them. Tommy stabs him, Vinnie covers him with a blanket, and they escape. Tommy and Vinnie rescue Kate, but Stitches knocks her unconscious as they attempt to escape. Tom tries to resuscitate her, and Vinnie leaves them behind, and Stitches attempts to drown Tommy in a sink that Vinnie had previously vomited in. Kate awakens and throws a knife at Stitches, while Tommy deduces a manner in which to defeat the clown; to kill him, they must destroy the egg he kept in his van. Tommy and Kate, pursued by Stitches, make their way to the den in the graveyard. While hiding, Tommy begins to hiccup, and Kate kisses him in order for him to stay quiet. Tommy searches for Stitches' egg among a collection of them while Kate keeps an eye out for Stitches, but the pair are soon discovered by him. While deciding which of the two to kill, Vinnie ties Stitches' shoelaces together again. He trips, and drops his egg. Tommy forces Stitches to smash the egg, and Stitches explodes in a mixture of magic trick supplies and yolk.

Six months later, Tommy has moved to a new house and is dating Kate. While the couple are in Tommy's old treehouse, Kate gives Tommy a new telescope, and his old one is positioned so as to focus on the den in the graveyard. There, The Motley is attempting to piece Stitches' broken egg back together. The egg is now fully restored indicating that Stitches will return. After the film cuts to black, Stitches' catchphrase, "Everybody happy?", is heard.

Gordon Mason (Chard Hayward) works as a handyman at the Rocky Beach Motel. Mason proceeds to spy on Marie Coleby (Deborah Coulls), who is bad tempered, bossy and constantly barks orders at and berates Mason all day. Later that day, when she packs up to drive to the airport to pick up her sister, Jenny (Louise Howitt), Mason intrudes on her, plays one of her songs on the radio ("Loving from a Distance") and rapes her. After Marie bites Mason and calls him an animal, he drowns Marie in her fish tank in a fit of rage. While trying to hide her body in a garbage bag, her neighbour Billy Sheperd (Les Foxcroft) catches him in the act and is also killed by Mason, who also poisons Billy's dog.

Later, Jenny is driven home from the airport and finds the house empty. She later finds Marie's jewels from her necklace in the fish tank and even finds Billy's dog floating in the water at the beach. She tries to tell Billy but sees his body lying on the couch and mistakes him for merely napping. Jenny tries making a few phone calls to find Marie and even tries calling Billy later, but receives no answer. She then meets Mason, whom she draws suspicion towards due to his knowledge of the house, which are later confirmed by sundown when she finds a muddy footprint on the carpet that was attempted to be cleaned off. She runs back to Billy's house to get help from him only to find his body hidden in his garden shed. She runs back to the motel to call the police only to find Mason there waiting for her, dressed in a suit with presents for her.

Mason cuts the phone wire while she calls the coastal guard service. Mason then proceeds to taunt Jenny and whistles "Loving from a Distance" every now and then. He also tries to break into the house to no avail. Two policemen arrive shortly, officer Clyde Collings (Roger Ward) and patrolman Rex "Pops" Dunbar (James Elliott), but Pops is killed by Mason with a shotgun from the cop car when Pops tries to radio for backup. Collings reveals to Jenny that Mason has a history of raping other women who never laid charges on him because of their "irate husbands". He then tells Jenny to make a run for the highway since Mason won't see her in the dark, but she stops when she finds Marie's body in the backyard and mourns over her. Collings tries to strike a deal with Mason, who refuses, but Collings vows to kill Mason after he sets his partner (who survived the gunshot) on fire. Collings chases Mason and fights him in the swimming pool and eventually drowns Mason.

Jenny, who eventually ran out and hid in the bushes on the highway, comes out of hiding when Collings' car drives by and orders her to come out. It's revealed that Mason survived his drowning and killed Collings. He proceeds to strangle her, but envisions Marie in her place and has a mental breakdown. Mason is then hit by a passing motorcyclist and is thrown into Collings' car. Another cop car drives by and the two officers inside find Jenny lying on the road. One of them inspects Collings' car and finds a barely conscious Mason inside about to shoot him with the shotgun, but that officer shoots and kills Mason.

After an aboriginal tomb is opened by archaeologist (Arthur Dignam), his daughter, a doctor (Penny Cook), treats a young aboriginal girl (Kristina Nehm) in a hospital emergency room for an unspecified injury. The girl dies and immediately afterwards the attending doctor begins to have bad dreams and waking visions of a horrible past event in aboriginal history. These threatening images from the Dreamtime involve a group of whalers who came ashore two centuries earlier to rape and murder a defenseless aboriginal tribe.

Steve must develop a plan to respect the wishes of the Aborigines and also protect the residents threatened by the crocodile.

The novel begins (with deceptively straightforward text) by introducing Bert and Belle, "a truly happy pair", a married couple living in a suburb near Manhattan. Bert works for the Turing Advertising Agency, directing commercials. His stepfather, Albert, has been in a hospital, on his deathbed, for several years.

The action begins with Bert picking up Belle's mother, Joyce, and Joyce's current husband, Leonard at the airport. We learn also Joyce's previous husbands include Fred, now Joyce's lawyer, and her unnamed third husband, Belle's father. (We later learn that her fourth husband was named Murray.)

Bert then makes a pickup of B. Austin Samuels, his boss at the 60th Street Heliport. A new client was loco about Bert's previous commercial, "The Reflection Principle". But the bad news (it's very bad news, as will be evident later on) is that Bert did not make the Floyd Flowers best-dressed list.

Bert visits his father in the hospital, talking with Doctors Pratt and Grass. They deliver speeches on the meaning of symptoms, illness, and death. They are critical of Albert, who keeps permuting his symptoms.

Bert returns to a work conference, attended by Samuels and one of his dedicated lieutenants, GreenHurstWood (usually referred to as GHW). They explain to Bert how his career is pretty much doomed by failing to make Flowers' list. Samuels recommends Bert trying loving his stepfather. Bert returns to the hospital, only to learn that Albert has died after a successful "unanticipated tonsillectomy."

After a short memorial service and funeral, Bert meets in a downtown converted warehouse with Samuels and the commercial's principal actors: Priscilla, who plays the victim's wife, Gift, who plays Pudd, the serial killer, and Ralph, who plays the victim, Hector Berlio. Bert explains what the meaning of acting is, partly in terms of anecdotes about his "old pal, Marty Heidigger (sic)".

Bert then outlines in great detail the sequence of events and motivations. Gift is trying to find his perfect victim, but is settling for the "average" of all his victims. The action is to begin when Gift follows Ralph home. Ralph is to open and close his keyed mailbox at least 70 times, a serial act that the serial killer can envy.

The outline is interrupted by another hospital visit by Bert. This time, it's his mother-in-law Joyce. Bert recruits a nurse Gottfriedina "Dinka" to audition. Bert decides that the love he was supposed to develop for Albert at his employer's suggestion can be deployed on Joyce.

At the next rehearsal, which took place in a spacious duplex facing Union Square, Gottfriedina and Flowers are both present. Bert talks, at length, about the killing and the killer's attempted escape and the media circus waiting for his arrest.

Bert returns for another hospital visit. At the next rehearsal, he delivers a speech giving a long metaphor comparing the serial killing to a disease. Another hospital visit follows, Joyce is discharged, we learn that Belle has been staying in a sanitarium, and another rehearsal. More extended metaphors follow, including one offering a kabbalistic version of the reflection principle, and another involving a partially explicit Turing machine, suggesting the serial killer is simply an automaton following a program. Rehearsal has reached the point of Gift being arrested and committed to the Tsimtsum Correctional Center. Upon returning home, he learns Joyce has been rushed to the hospital gain. For the first time, Bert notices Leonard is in crutches.

The story then jumps, without explanation, to the night of Pudd's execution. His last victim, Berlio, is not dead after all, and returns. The strapping down of Pudd to his gurney, the method of his death, the prison chaplain's attempt to convert Pudd, and the media's role in witnessing Pudd's execution are all emphasized in long speeches. Joyce's cancer is frequently invoked as a metaphor.

With Pudd dead, Bert is shocked to learn he may make it onto the Flowers' list provisionally. With Leonard dead, Fred, also deathly ill, is caring for Joyce. Joyce dies shortly before the world premier of the commercial, followed soon by Fred. Belle, freed by her mother's death, tries to attach herself to Samuels. And at the premier, Bert is yelled off by the investors, calling him a "commercial-killer with a vengeance."

As Bert leaves, Belle says he's just taking a breather, but Samuels says no, he's not coming back. The novel ends with a stage direction "(''Exit Burt'')" and simultaneously an unspecified character saying "But imagine just how nice it would have been for once to harness all the Vengeance to our very own ends."

A television reporter is doing an article on the sexiest man on Earth. She tracks down Alvin Purple and discovers he has a son, Melvin, who is similarly irresistible to women. However, Melvin is scared of women, and is a virgin.

In this Robin Hood-esque caper, Eva, Fiona and Millicent all plan a heist together for a charitable cause.

Dr. Cas Pepper is a 61-year-old doctor, a self-proclaimed loner, and terminally ill. Dylan Morgan is a 22-year-old woman, somewhat of a social misfit, and an aspiring writer. She is currently living with her boyfriend Bobby, who is an unstable individual. Cas reluctantly agrees to give Dylan a short lift to her home. Cas accidentally strikes Bobby with his car when he jumps in front of them and points a rifle at them, and, fearing that he may now be a fugitive from the law, drives away with Dylan's encouragement.

Cas and Dylan take off on a drive across Canada, he heading to his vacation home on Canada's west coast (where he plans to bury his recently deceased dog and to commit suicide), and she towards an ostensible interview with a major publishing company she has been communicating with. Initially Cas is not thrilled with the prospect of spending the ride with this young talkative kid, but as the adventure progresses, they grow sweetly fond of each other, helping one another resolve the issues they encounter along the way.

The epilogue shows a successful, fulfilled Dylan some time after the cross-country trip, with her voice-over telling us about her tremendous respect for him, and that her current happiness is largely a result of following his advice—a happiness not hindered by the fact that he left her his entire estate after his death (as well as his "secret" pasta sauce recipe).

As described in a film magazine, while attending a house party with her husband, Eleanor Stratton (Frederick) overhears a conversation between a detective Jim Foley (Hatch) and her husband Frederick (Kent), in which the latter is commanded to produce a receipt held by Worthington Lawrence (Handyside), their host, under penalty of being exposed for a petty theft committed years ago. To save her husband, Eleanor obtains the receipt and motors to the city the next day with it, where Foley has promised to deliver to her the signed confession of her husband. Foley tricks her up to his rooms, where he obtains the receipt but fails to deliver the confession. He promises to give it to her if she will return that evening. While he is getting the paper from a desk, Eleanor puts two sleeping powders in a glass of wine, but Foley discovers her and in the tussle that results Foley strikes his head on a buffet and is rendered unconscious. Eleanor escapes and while attempting to return the receipt to Worthington's desk is discovered by her husband. After explaining matters to him, an understanding is reached. Meanwhile, Foley has recovered and tells political boss by telephone that six masked intruders had broken into his rooms and stolen the receipt.

As described in a film magazine, Janet Howell (Tell) discovers that her husband Raoul (Kelly) is a crook. She leaves him and attempts to make a living painting pictures. She takes a position as a companion to Mrs. de Giles (Wainwright) in the hope of recovering some valuable mining property which her husband assures her belongs to a friend of his. Her husband visits the house using the name Newell and tells her to find where the safe is located. Newell drugs the coffee so that the de Giles and Hugh Maxwell (Thompson), a relative, fall into a stupor, and he tells Janet to change her clothes and be ready to leave with him. However, the de Giles are cleverer detectives and have been waiting for this chance to catch their man, and Newell is arrested. He makes a last frantic attempt to escape but is shot by the Detective (Lawrence) and falls down the stairs and breaks his neck. Janet's innocence is believed and Hugh confesses his love for her.

As described in a film magazine, Olivia Sherwood (Tell), an orphan whose supposed father has left her nothing but a block of worthless mining stock, spends a fortune on clothes, her greatest weakness. Arnold West (Chadwick), who pays Olivia her income, deceives her into thinking the money is hers, scheming and hoping that one day Olivia will be his, whether he marries her or not. However, Arnold's income dwindles so fast that he is forced to tell Olivia that her income is much smaller than she thinks it is and that she will have to go slow. Mrs. Cathcart (Tilbury) advises Olivia to marry as the simplest and easiest way to settle the matter, but to marry a wealthy man. That man is Richard Burbank (Kent), a wealthy Canadian visiting relatives in New York. Olivia meets him at an affair, and immediately he is in love. A week later he proposes to her in a roundabout way, and by the time he is through hemming and hawing, in walks Arnold. Richard says that he will be back in an hour and Olivia should be alone. Arnold attempts to press his attentions on Olivia, but she repulses him. He then tells her that she is marrying Richard for money, but that he is more honorable than she as he tells the truth. Arnold apologizes for his hasty words and leaves. Arnold returns, but now Olivia is thinking of the error of her ways, so she refuses him. Arnold, wishing to disillusion Richard, cunning arranges for him to be at his house when Olivia calls on him for a business matter. Richard naturally thinks the worse of her. Several days later Olivia learns that the stock her father left her is worthless. Arnold, who has been drinking, tells her that he has been keeping her, and unless she comes to him, he will tell everyone plus a little imagination. She shrinks from him in horror and slowly climbs the stairs, and he lurches after her. At the top step he lunges at her, but she fearfully dodges, and the momentum of this upsets him and he falls down the stairs. Richard, having heard everything, rushes to her side and forgives her.
