Andrew Neiman is a first-year student and jazz drummer at the prestigious Shaffer Conservatory in New York City, hoping to one day fulfill his childhood goals and leave a legacy like that of his idol Buddy Rich. He is recruited by Terence Fletcher, the conductor and bandleader of the Shaffer Conservatory Studio Band, to play in Fletcher's ensemble as an alternate for core drummer Carl Tanner. Andrew quickly discovers that Fletcher is relentlessly strict and ruthless to his students; he physically and verbally abuses Andrew after Andrew fails to keep the tempo during the ensemble's rehearsal of Hank Levy's "Whiplash".

Determined to impress Fletcher, Andrew practices until his hands begin to bleed. In a jazz competition, after their first set, Andrew misplaces Carl's sheet music. When called for their second set, Carl insists that he can't play without his sheet music, but Andrew retorts that he can perform the second set from memory. After a successful performance, Fletcher promotes Andrew to the core drummer for the Studio Band. Fletcher also enlists Ryan Connolly, the core drummer from a lower-level ensemble within the conservatory.

As a result of his single-mindedness and Fletch's teaching, Andrew's relationship with his family begins to deteriorate. After Fletcher promotes Connolly to core drummer, Andrew continues practicing to his limit, breaking up with his girlfriend Nicole in order to focus solely on drumming. After a grueling five-hour practice session with Tanner and Connolly in which Fletcher repeatedly lashes out at them, Andrew eventually earns back the core position.

On the way to the next competition, the bus Andrew is riding breaks down. He rents a car but arrives late and realizes he left his sticks at the rental office. Fletcher berates Andrew, and tells him that he has 10 minutes to get his sticks. Andrew races back and retrieves them, but is unable to focus on driving and his car is hit by a truck on the way back. Severely injured, Andrew crawls from the wreckage and runs back to the theater, arriving just as the ensemble enters stage. He struggles to play "Caravan" due to his injuries, and Fletcher halts the performance to dismiss him. Enraged, Andrew attacks Fletcher on-stage, but is pulled away by security and expelled from Shaffer.

At his father's request, Andrew meets a lawyer representing the parents of Sean Casey, a former student of Fletcher, who committed suicide by hanging due to severe emotional distress caused by Fletcher's abuse. Casey's parents want Fletcher forbidden from teaching, and Andrew agrees to testify anonymously, leading Shaffer to terminate Fletcher.

Following his expulsion, Andrew abandons drumming and begins working in a restaurant. He visits a jazz club and encounters Fletcher playing piano. Fletcher claims his methods were solely intended to motivate promising students, referencing the story of how Charlie Parker rose to fame.

Fletcher invites Andrew to perform with Fletcher's band at the JVC Jazz Festival, assuring Andrew that the songs will be the same ones played by the Studio Band; Andrew hesitantly accepts. Andrew calls Nicole and invites her to the performance, apologizing for the way he ended their relationship. She is noncommittal, having started a new relationship. Andrew arrives at JVC and the band goes onstage. Just before they begin their first piece, Fletcher reveals that he knows Andrew testified against him and got Fletcher fired from his position. As revenge, Fletcher leads the band with a song Andrew does not know, for which Andrew has not been given the sheet music.

After attempting to perform, Andrew walks off stage humiliated, but returns and cuts off Fletcher's introduction to their next piece by playing "Caravan", cueing in the band himself. Initially angered, Fletcher resumes conducting. Andrew plays his part perfectly and Fletcher begins to enjoy the piece as it goes on. As the piece finishes Andrew continues playing into an extended solo. Fletcher nods in approval of Andrew's performance before cueing the band finale.

Clyde (Sasso), a mover, is unhappy with his job at Redmond's Furniture, and is dreaming of a career change.

Clyde, Cedric (Murphy), and AJ (Hogan) are movers who work for Redmond's Furniture and Moving, a moving company. Near the beginning of the film, while trying to move boxes out of a customers house, they drop several of them over the railing of a staircase. To makeup for the damages, they settle on a $7500 cash reimbursement with the distressed customers.

Soon after, Clyde has a nightmare whereby he lifts the seat of a chair off of its legs and sees dozens of mice. In the nightmare, he also gets a job offer to work at Redmond's for the rest of his life; however, he implies that he would rather be a street construction worker for the rest of his life.

In the next scene, Clyde starts crying because he believes he is going to be fired. In the meantime, AJ has an affair with one of the customers they had moved, who is an older woman.

Clyde has a meeting with Wilf (Garber), his manager, in which Wilf puts Clyde on probation for the incident that had taken place at their customer's house. Clyde then gets upset, and Wilf subsequently offers him a Turtle. Wilf also asks Clyde if AJ has been drinking on the job, to which Clyde nervously responds by saying: "No." Wilf thinks Clyde is trying to protect AJ, and tells Clyde to take another Turtle if AJ has been drinking while working. Clyde takes another Turtle.

The Redmond's workers then go to another customer's building, and Denis, another mover at Redmond's, begins hitting on the female receptionists. In an attempt to be humorous and impress the ladies, Dennis puts a sign on Clydes back, saying: "Call me donks." After the ladies inform Clyde of the sign on his back, he gets upset with Dennis and pins him to a wall, insisting that Dennis deletes the video he had taken of the situation. Cedric then informs Dennis that Clyde is on probation, encouraging him to refrain from attempting to get Clyde fired. Denis and Clyde makeup.

AJ is called into a meeting with Wilf, whereby he is put on probation for drinking while working. In the meantime, Clyde takes apart old cardboard boxes and writes several encouraging quotes on them, as well as quotes from people he works with. He puts these quotes up on the walls around his home. The next day, Clyde slept in for work; therefore, Cedric, AJ and Dennis show up at his house. Dennis sees the pieces of cardboard boxes all over Clyde's walls and takes pictures of the quotes which say: "'I need you' - Wilf," and "Dennis is mean to people because he's hurt inside. He thinks he should be famous but he is not. He's unhappy. Poor Dennis." While at Clyde's, AJ drinks again, despite insisting that he has stopped drinking. Wilf calls him, and AJ lies in two ways: He says he is not drinking, and says that they are at a customers home, not Clyde's.

Wilf goes out for dinner with Linda and tells her that Redmond's could not afford insurance even though they continued to collect insurance premiums from their customers. They kept doing it because no one had yet noticed.

Cedric tells Clyde he only works at Redmond's because he feels like it is his only option, explaining that he cannot get another job because of the 6 years he spent in the penitentiary for knocking a man out while drunk. Linda goes to see Cedric, Dennis and Clyde at the office and encourages them to attend Wilf's birthday party that night. Wilf then gets Linda an expensive pen and promotes her to a managerial position.

Cedric wife's grandma passes away, and so he quits his job at Redmond's because he and his wife have inherited property in South Carolina. Wilf was not pleased that Cedric gave him such a short notice, but Cedric points out that he is not on contract since he is being paid under the table, and so he should not be upset.

AJ gets angry with Dennis for ratting him out for drinking, despite that it was actually Clyde who told Wilf. While driving, AJ and Clyde get into an argument, and then crash the Redmond's truck into another vehicle. The company called the police and said the truck was stolen by AJ, so that they would not have to pay for damage.

Later on, Clyde easily confesses that it was him, not Dennis, who ratted AJ out for drinking. He did not know that AJ had already gotten angry at Dennis.

Near the end of the film, the Redmond's workers went out to see a band perform, and planned to go for drinks afterwards. Clyde was upset, because since Dennis wanted to bring ladies with them to the bar after, there was not enough room for him to also join. He felt excluded, and ended up going back to Redmond's office. There, he had a hallucination, where Wilf's dog, Little Buddy, levitates and flies away, and Wilf floats into the room looking for him. Wilf begins to weep because Little Buddy is gone, and Cedric shows up, telling Clyde not to trust Wilf.

At the end of the film, Clyde says goodbye to Cedric as he leaves for his new home in South Carolina.

Kenny is now creator of the iris scan database used to store Tobias' scan, and Kenny reveals that Dr. Simmons is in fact one of only five people with full access to the database. As a test, he helps Ian and Karen run some photos of deceased family members, plus various other people's eyes through the database to see if there are any other recent matches. They get a hit for Sofi, whose iris scan matches one made in India just three months prior, years after Sofi's death.

Ian goes to India to find the subject of this scan, an orphan girl named Salomina. With help from Priya Varma, he spends weeks searching and putting up billboards. Eventually he finds the little girl staring at the billboard. He takes Salomina back to his hotel and contacts Karen over Skype. The two of them conduct a simple test designed to reveal if Salomina might be somehow linked with Sofi's memories. The results match the probable range of random chance, with a 44% success score. Feeling somewhat disheartened, Ian intends to take Salomina to Priya. But when they reach the elevator, the moment the doors open Salomina panics and throws herself into his arms, too frightened to enter. Staring into each other's eyes with a certain recognition, they then cling to each other, tears streaming down both their faces. He picks her up and takes her down the stairs instead, with Salomina tightly gripping his neck, till they walk from the dark interior and step out into the light.

A post-credits scene shows Dr. Simmons scanning the irises of famous deceased figures finding many such matches.

John, played by Sean Harris, lives in a remote area of Scotland. The primary industry is potato farming and John is a picker who lives for the harvests; it is his outlet and all he has in his life. He yearns for contact, but is so self-conscious that he comes across as awkward and skittish. His other outlet is watching people who live a life that he does not know how to make for himself, a life of home and family. John does not know how to act when a female co-worker shows interest in him. John exhibits all the signs of someone who has suffered untold tragedies in his life.

While driving back to town on a dark and isolated road, John comes upon a car stopped up ahead. He immediately sees a hose attached to the exhaust pipe. He has come upon a suicide by carbon monoxide and tries to help, but the woman is already dead. Suddenly, headlights appear in the opposite direction and John’s immediate reaction is to hide the body, though he has done nothing wrong. John is like one who feels blame for every event, even those for which there is no blame. That decision leads John to take the body of the dead young woman to a shed in the woods. Now John finds the intimacy and physical contact he so desperately craves.

Early the next morning, John is awakened to hear the sounds of police combing the woods calling his name. He has overslept. He quickly throws on some clothes and begins to run through the woods, but townspeople have now taken up the search for John. He runs at first, but he suddenly gives up trying to escape his pursuers and turns to face them, looking skyward. The townspeople have found him first. He knows his fate, and the townspeople club him before the police arrive.

In his final moments, the policewoman who first comes upon John touches his head to examine his wounds and strokes his wounded forehead as he dies from the clubbing. It may have been the only gentle touch that John has known.

At the headquarters of the League of Assassins, Ra's al Ghul grooms Damian Wayne, the young son of his daughter, Talia, and Batman, to succeed him. The League is ambushed by a group of assassins led by Slade Wilson, Ra's al Ghul's initial choice for successor before Damian's birth; Ra's is defeated and fatally injured by Slade, dying before he can heal his injuries with the Lazarus Pit. After the incident, Talia takes Damian to Gotham City to meet his father and remain in his care while she and the League deal with Slade. The aggressive, highly independent Damian objects and frequently disobeys his father's orders in an attempt to seek out Slade and avenge Ra's himself. After he is accosted by Nightwing for sneaking out and brutally attacking an associate of Slade's, Batman berates Damian for his recklessness and willingness to kill. Batman then has Damian don the mantle of Robin in order to teach him discipline.

Slade, now calling himself Deathstroke, captures Talia as well as Dr. Kirk Langstrom, a scientist previously working with Ra's. Commissioner Gordon warns Batman about an abandoned stadium believed to house Deathstroke's men; after infiltrating the stadium, Batman and Damian attempt to question Langstrom, who initially refuses to leave as Deathstroke is holding his family hostage. When Damian becomes violently impatient and inadvertently alerts the enemy to their arrival, the groups is confronted by a swarm of Man-Bats, which Langstrom explains is part of Deathstroke's plan to create superhuman, flight-capable assassins. While Nightwing works with Langstrom on an antidote for the Man-Bats, Batman and Damian set off to rescue Langstrom's family. Batman deduces that Talia has been abducted and while rescuing Langstrom's family, Damian is relayed her location via a ransom video given to Langstrom's daughter.

Nightwing learns that Deathstroke is operating in an oil rig off the Scottish coast, and while Batman is distracted, Damian goes to the rig alone to rescue his mother. He finds Deathstroke and Talia in an underwater base with a swarm of Man-Bats and another Lazarus Pit, which Deathstroke intends to sell for profit. Deathstroke attempts to kill Damian, mortally wounding Talia as she shields her son from a gunshot. Batman arrives to assist and heals Talia in the Lazarus Pit, while Nightwing and Langstrom cure the Man-Bats.

After a brutal fight, Damian manages to defeat Deathstroke, but refuses to kill him because it is not what his father would do. The underwater base is destroyed when the Man-Bats, overwhelmed by sonar devices placed by Batman, break the glass elevator shaft and flood the base. Batman, Talia and Damian escape to safety, but the unconscious Deathstroke is left behind . Discussing what to do with Damian now that Deathstroke has been neutralized, Batman believes that Damian should stay with him and remain as Robin while Talia still wishes to recreate the League with Batman and Damian at her side. Talia relents and allows Damian to stay in Gotham with his father, but states her intention to return for him someday.

During the credits, the fight between Damian and Nightwing is shown.

Billy Joe's deadly baptism

In the seven-and-a-half-minute pre-credits sequence, a monk-like hooded figure, whose face is never shown, holding a six-foot cruciform staff, walks through a forest, stopping on a hill overlooking a lakeside baptismal ceremony conducted by a Christ-like figure who starts making a speech/plea to God, expressing gratitude for being shown the light and receiving "a chance to be saved". He then thanks God for giving him the power and for making him "Your son". He tells God that all those present "were just a bunch of sinners", but "I saved them", because "I made them see that using dope was the way to turn on to you". Continuing, "oh, we got trouble, Lord — the heat won't leave us alone — they want to bust us for bein' hooked on you", he then declaims that "they don't dig our kind of faith — they put us down cause we ain't one of them uptight establishment churches with one of them phony moneymakin' ministers, lyin' and stealin'…" He tells God and the assembled teenage followers that one among them was sent to "spy on us and try to bust us". He then focuses on a specific girl and announces, "there's a chick that don't want to be baptized — she don't want to follow me" and finishes by pronouncing, "Oh, yes, Lord, in our happy flock, maybe we got us a Judas". When the girl stands up and starts to run, she is quickly caught and held, as the Christ-like figure, now revealed to be the leader of a Charles Manson-styled cult, calls for "The Atoner" who, emerging from the bushes, is the silent hooded figure with the tall cross/staff. The cult leader, whom the girl addresses as "Billy Joe", raises his arms to heaven while The Atoner performs the "baptism" by dipping her underwater, in front of all assembled, until she drowns.

Evangelist Willis and his wife Fanny

As credits start appearing, a woman carrying a large shopping bag, and a smaller one in her arm, is walking through a busy shopping street of a rundown neighborhood, ignoring the stares and glances of various slum dwellers. As she stops in front of an aging, toothless denizen of skid row, he grabs the smaller of her grocery bags and quickly walks away with it. She enters the back of a chapel kitchen while, in the main hall, a local evangelist is pouring coffee for destitute men who line up with round metal trays and then sit in the auditorium eating oatmeal and rolls mess hall-style. The woman, Fanny, is the evangelist's wife and she is increasingly unhappy, telling him about the stolen groceries and adding, "I'm drowning, Willis". He reassures her that things will get better and that he rented a quality hall for tonight's revival meeting.

Hoping to stimulate the meager offerings, Willis had paid fifty dollars for the construction of a huge wooden cross but, while driving with the cross propped-up and prominently visible in the back of their dilapidated pickup truck, he and Fanny stop at a gas station at the same time as Billy Joe, riding the back of a motorcycle driven by one of his followers, Tennessee, passes by and stops. Intrigued by the cross, Billy Joe gets off the bike and, as the astonished evangelist watches, the Christ lookalike climbs into the back of the truck and lays in a crucifixion pose upon the cross. He compliments Willis on the "mighty fine cross" and asks him, "what're you gonna do with it?" Willis describes tonight's meeting and invites him and his friend to come and be saved. "Saved from what?", asks Billy Joe. Taken aback, Willis pauses and replies, "Whaa... why, from damnation, of course". Billy Joe slowly repeats the word, "damnation". Meanwhile, Tennessee walks over to the truck and tells Fanny that "I prefer the older stuff", while looking at her appreciatively. After he makes a few more suggestive remarks and, opening the truck door, reaches to touch her, Fanny responds, "I think you've said just about enough, young man". Meanwhile, Billy Joe asks Willis if he expects to make a lot of money tonight and Willis tells him that it could be a good crowd and maybe he will see him there. "Maybe you will", replies Billy Joe as Willis walks away, returns to the truck and sits behind the wheel. Fanny comments to him, "strange young man" and Willis replies, "probably part of those silly cults the kids are always coming up with". Watching the truck leave, Billy Joe tells Tennessee, "we're goin' on a crusade — just you and me and Izzy... and The Atoner".

Willis' final sermon and crucifixion

As Willis and Fanny arrive at the meeting hall, they are met by Deacon Paul who helps Willis bring the heavy cross inside, with Willis carrying it in the traditional "Jesus at Calvary" manner and saying, "there's a hammer and some nails in the tool chest, will you get them, Paul?" That evening, Willis delivers his sermon and asks for donations to help run his mission. As Deacon Paul walks around with the plate, he is taken aback to see the Jesus lookalike Billy Joe sitting in the audience, with nearby Fanny also noticing him. After the auditorium empties, Paul gives the bag containing the offerings to Willis and walks outside with Fanny, as Willis prepares to shut the lights. Upon opening the exit door and seeing the silent Atoner, with his tall cross/staff, looming in front of him, Willis asks, "Who are you? What do you want? Is this a joke?" and subsequently, after realizing that pleading with Billy Joe not to take the money for the mission is ineffective, says to him, "God will punish you hoodlums". Those words incite Billy Joe into a wrathful fury as he shouts accusations of apostasy at Willis and then adds, "but I got the power — the Lord give it to me to deal with false prophets".

Outside, Fanny asks the reluctant Paul to speak with Willis about the meagerness of their resources, telling him, "we don't have a dime in the bank and he goes and buys a cross", and when Paul responds, "well, that cross is important to him, maybe it's worth the sacrifice", she adds, "I've had twenty-five years of sacrifice — no children, no money, no nothing". As Paul gets into his car, Fanny returns to the hall and hears Willis' cries as he is being put on the cross. She runs outside for help, but Paul has just driven away and there is no one around in the darkness of late-evening streets. Hurrying back inside and into the hall's phone booth, she tries, with shaking hands, to pull out coins, but Willis' agonized cries cause her to drop the wallet and spill the coins and then have to crawl on the floor to retrieve them. Additional screams spur her to peer through the auditorium's door, see a raised dagger and hear Billy Joe say, "nobody's gonna hear you now, except God, and he's on our side", as The Atoner hammers the heavy construction nails into Willis' supine body. As the four intruders head for the exit, Fanny hides in the hallway closet and then enters the auditorium to behold Willis' bloody crucified corpse upon the upright standing cross. She screams and falls to her knees.

Billy Joe's trial and death sentence

Judge Coogan gavels the court into order as the prosecutor continues his summation, calling Billy Joe along with his two co-defendants, Izzy and Tennessee, "vicious murderers" who are just as guilty as the unknown hooded figure whom key witness Fanny described as the one committing the act. The jury finds all three guilty and Coogan sentences them to be executed. Billy Joe gets up and exclaims, "you damn son of a bitch! — you're making me a martyr!" and, as he is led out of the courtroom, looks at Fanny and shouts, "vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord!" All of Billy Joe's followers/disciples are in the courtroom and, as Fanny walks out, one of them tells her that the whole system is guilty and adds, "an eye for an eye". She passes their gauntlet, hearing the word, "die, die, die".

Fanny's fatal assignment of supervising the judge's children

About a year passes and the widowed Fanny continues to hear voices of Willis and Billy Joe, while working as a general housekeeper and assistant to Judge Coogan and his wife Betty. She is asked by the judge, who is planning a long weekend getaway with his wife, to supervise his four teenage children, Peter, Nancy, Sharon and Jimmy, for an additional payment of fifty dollars. The childless Fanny is very reluctant, but ultimately agrees, on the condition that the kids, who appear to be approximately fifteen to eighteen years old, stay home the entire time, so she doesn't have to worry about them. Since they had sports practice, play rehearsal and dates planned, the kids are very annoyed.

The departure of the judge and his wife is observed by two bikeriders who had been following the judge's car when he drove Fanny to his house. Barely settled in the house, Fanny begins to experience upsetting disturbances — phone calls with no one on the line or a voice saying, "vengeance is mine" and "those who judge shall be judged and the sentence is death… tonight", then the line going dead. Shortly thereafter, the kids spot someone in the back yard and Fanny volunteers to go outside to chase him off. The "intruder" turns out to be what she describes to the kids as a "stuffed dummy", but doesn't tell them that it had a note attached with the word "vengeance". Now agitated, she declares that the house, which is half a mile from the nearest neighbor, has to be secured, with all windows as well as basement and back entrances locked. Peter, the eldest, says that he saw a hooded figure in the backyard and that Fanny's presence puts them all in danger. Movement and sounds indicate an attempted break-in and Peter tells Jimmy to run to the neighbors' house, but a hooded figure prevents that. The lights go out and the Coogan siblings express fear for their lives. Voices are heard, "God is on our side". At that point, Jimmy does decide on the need of running to summon help but, peering through the window, Fanny sees a hooded figure catch him in the back yard and plunge a knife into him, however, she tells his siblings that Jimmy got away. Shortly thereafter, Peter discovers the "vengeance" note taken from the "dummy" and accuses Fanny of keeping it to herself.

The back door opens and a hooded figure walks into the house, just as Peter disappears. Fanny goes through the house looking for him and sees blood, hears screams and realizes that the kids are gone. Looking behind various doors, she finds Peter's body hanging in a closet and runs, screaming, towards the front door, but opening it, sees a hooded figure and slams it shut. Letting out another scream, she sees the lights go out again and hears Nancy's voice pleading, "help me". Running upstairs, she enters a dark room and barricades it, while the voices of Willis and Billy Joe continue to be clearly audible for her, but are interrupted by the sound of more pleading from Nancy, "if you don't come out, they are going to kill me". Fanny un-barricades the door, comes out and embraces Nancy and, as they proceed downstairs, Sharon's lifeless body comes into view on the couch. As Nancy screams and runs, Fanny steps on a large butcher knife on the floor. She picks it up and, spotting a hooded figure quickly moving down the staircase, lets out a scream of desperation, raises the knife and runs up the staircase towards the figure. Following a brief struggle, she falls backwards and rolls down the stairs.

The judge's children meet their fate

The hooded figure reveals himself to be Peter who, with the assistance of his siblings, staged all the terrifying events to frighten Fanny into running away and giving them freedom to participate in their planned activities. As the "murdered" Sharon rises from the couch, Peter explains, "she tried to kill me" and the returned Jimmy adds, "she did that to herself — she tried to stab Peter with that knife", while Peter tells him to turn on the lights and the phone and, upon checking Fanny's body, states, "she's dead". Responding to Nancy's moan, "you killed her!", Peter protests, "I just pushed her away". Nancy is briefly hysterical with guilt and recrimination but then, as they start to discuss what story would be most believable to tell the police, the phone rings. Peter picks up and hears an ominous low-key voice, "the sentence is death… on Judge Coogan's children… and the execution is tonight". The darkness in front of the house reveals a glimpse of The Atoner standing with his cruciform staff which now appears to loom at least twelve feet high. All of the house's brightly lit windows suddenly become dark and a male voice is heard emitting a piercing scream.

Jorge and Enrique are two performers in post-Civil War Spain who adopt an orphan child called Miguel. With a variety company that travels around the country, Jorge and Enrique see the horrors left by the war, while Nationalists watch Jorge and the rest of the company, suspecting that some of them collaborate with the Republicans opposing Franco's regime.

Jumper (Ryan Yeager) is an American Revolutionary War soldier who is killed at Yorktown in 1783 and becomes an angel. The voice from above whom Jumper calls "Dad" (voiced by Gender) gives Jumper five days to complete his first mission and to influence the lives of men in present-day West Hollywood.

Early in Jumper's mission he targets Jeffrey Carrington (Adam Archer), who is planning a one-night stand to advance his modeling career. Jeffrey bumps into Jumper (dressed like a bum), who keeps him from having his fling, seducing him instead at Jeffrey's apartment. While Jeffrey is asleep, Jumper gives Jeffrey his bum clothes, wears Jeffrey's, and leaves.

In Jeffrey's clothes, Jumper meets Carpenter (Danny Sommers)—an angry, straight-identifying man who dislikes gay men and resists their advances—outside a porn theater. When Carpenter enters the theater to avoid Jumper (and watch heterosexual pornography), Jumper follows him. Unaware of Jumper's nature, Carpenter cannot resist temptation and they give each other handjobs and oral sex. He brings Jumper to his motel room for more fun. While Carpenter is asleep Jumper takes his clothes, leaving him Jeffrey's. While he talks to "Dad", Jumper admits his feelings for Carpenter; however, he does not know his first name.

Invisible, Jumper meets uptight Jerry (Alex Thomas) and unemployed actor Jim (Tom Farrell), a bickering couple unaware of his presence. To help them reconcile, he uses his powers on the telephone to give Jim an acting role. Since Jerry is still angry, Jumper puts a spell on him to loosen him up enough to make up with Jim. When Jim and Jerry's lovemaking is interrupted by a phone call from Jim's mother (who accepts the couple), Jumper transports them to bed wearing only briefs and they continue uninterrupted. At the end of the scene, Jerry and Jim shower together.

Still in Carpenter's clothes, Jumper knocks on the door of nerdy Jethro's (David Rockmore) apartment (interrupting his watching gay pornography) and pretends to be a peacetime soldier in need of an apartment. When Jethro wakes up after Jumper renders him unconscious, he realizes he is naked. Jumper seduces him, and while Jethro is asleep he takes his clothes and gives him Carpenter's and Carpenter's motel address.

Jumper enters the office of closeted Hollywood producer Jay Cassidy (Wes Daniels) for an "audition". Jay resists, yet Jumper seduces him. He gives Jay a love story about two gay men, puts him to sleep, and leaves him naked. His mission complete, Jumper returns to heaven but misses West Hollywood. However, he hears from "Dad" that Jerry and Jim are still together despite their ups and downs; six weeks after their reconciliation, they celebrate Jim's opening night. Jeffrey and Jethro meet at one of Madonna's Blond Ambition World Tour concerts, and eventually become lovers. Although Carpenter seduces Jethro (as planned by Jumper), he still has feelings for the angel. Within a week after Jumper's journey, Carpenter is killed by gay bashers, trying to save a gay man's life. The gay love story becomes a movie, directed and written by Jay.

"Dad" tells Jumper that "Dad" is whoever Jumper wants him to be. Jumper loses his wings (and his boxers, leaving him naked) and is reunited with Carpenter, who is "Dad" transformed. When he learns that Carpenter's first name is Joe, he tells him he will call him "Dad" for a while—or for eternity.

Badhon vows revenge from his aunt Dilruba Chowdhury, who falsely accused his widowed mother Rehana Akhter of being a thief and threw them out of her house to steal her winning lottery ticket and live a wealthy life.

The film opens with a firefight in the Middle East, where Johnny Talbot (Paddy Wallace), an American soldier, is captured by Islamic terrorists and forced to witness the execution of his comrade, Ray (Parker Sawyers).

Kate Abbott (Milla Jovovich) is a Diplomatic Security Service agent working for the American Embassy in London, who began working in the government after most of her friends were killed in 9/11. While she is implementing new, more stringent rules for visa applications of potential terrorist suspects, most of her team are killed while at a restaurant for the birthday of their superior, Bill Talbot (Robert Forster). Bill is Johnny's father, and is being blackmailed under threat of Johnny's death. He delayed attending the party to return to his desk to delete records of the visas he has approved for terrorists entering the United States. Kate survives the bombing when she leaves the restaurant to get a last-minute present for Bill.

An investigation into the attack reveals that the bomb has traces of chromium, leading her superior at the embassy, Sam Parker (Dylan McDermott), to deduce that the perpetrator was the 'Watchmaker' (Pierce Brosnan), one of the world's most wanted killers, known for his precision work, who detonated a bomb with similar traces in Paris two years earlier. Nobody knows the Watchmaker's appearance, as he has had lots of plastic surgery over the years. Kate's subsequent attempts to find out the cause of the explosion reveal that Bill was being blackmailed to let certain visa applicants through after Johnny's capture, and the man behind the attack was indeed the Watchmaker. Her efforts uncover a plan to detonate another bomb at Times Square in New York City during the New Year's Eve celebrations.

As she carries out her own investigation, she is attacked by Bill, unintentionally killing him in self-defense. Kate is later considered, through witnesses and footage, the prime suspect for the attacks at the embassy.

Sam Parker, who believes in her innocence, is injured in an attack by the Watchmaker.

Kate is forced to sneak back into the embassy to create false passports for herself to follow the Watchmaker to New York, with continuing support from Sam and her friend Sally (Frances de la Tour), the only two people who still believe in her innocence.

Meanwhile, the Watchmaker uses a Steyr HS .50 cal sniper rifle to fire an incendiary round into a sphere filled with explosive gas atop a vacant block of apartments in Tower Hamlets. The building is devastated. Later, the Watchmaker reveals that he is aware that his client's purpose for the Times Square attack is not terrorism but financial. He intends to bet against the stock market and make millions when the stock market reopens. The Watchmaker demands half the profits, threatening to cancel the attack, and the client agrees.

The Watchmaker leaves for New York. Dr Emil Balan (Roger Rees), is motivated to avenge his late wife's death when her visa to the U.S. was delayed and she didn't receive emergency medical treatment in time. In New York, he coordinates filling the New Year's Eve ball with explosive gas. The Watchmaker's job is to shoot the sphere and ignite the gas. Balan meets the Watchmaker on top of a high rise a few blocks from Times Square. The Watchmaker kills Balan, removing any connection back to him. Kate deduces the plot and finds the Watchmaker, moments away from triggering the bomb. After a struggle, she manages to throw the Watchmaker off the side of the building. He falls to his death on the stroke of midnight.

Her suspicion about Balan's guilt is vindicated and her name is cleared. She receives a call from Sam, who has recovered from recent injuries, congratulating her.

In 1942, in Paris, which was under German occupation during World War II, a grocer Edmond Batignole (Gérard Jugnot) is living with his family on the ground floor of an apartment building. He has a daughter who is soon to be married. His future son-in-law, an aspiring writer Pierre-Jean (Jean-Paul Rouve) wants the penthouse apartment occupied by a Jewish family, the Bernsteins, and alerts the Gestapo who capture the family early one morning. When the Bernsteins' property is confiscated, the Batignoles apply for and are awarded the apartment. The Batignoles cater a party for SS officials in the confiscated apartment. During the party, young Simon Bernstein (Jules Sitruk) returns to his family home. Batignole hides Simon in a servant's apartment on the top floor of the building but soon moves him to the cellar to avoid discovery. Simon is later joined in the cellar by his two cousins who were themselves being hidden by the concierge of another Parisian apartment building. Edmond tries to find someone to smuggle the children over the border to Switzerland but eventually determines to take them himself. Edmond and the children undertake the dangerous trip to the Swiss border, where they are nearly caught by the police. However, with the help of a kind woman and a priest, they are able to sneak over the border to safety in Switzerland.

When the wealthy banker François Jourdain tries to spend his money on philanthropic causes, his relatives have him committed to a psychiatric clinic to save their inheritance. During Mardi Gras celebrations, Jourdain escapes and takes up residence in the Pension Beau Soleil, a run-down boarding house in Nice inhabited by several unhappy individuals, including the owner's shy daughter Lydia, the suicidal Russian exile Fédor, and the embittered spinster Miss Aglaé. Jourdain hires some actors from the local theatre to play roles in real life at the boarding house which will transform the lives of everyone, illustrating his principle: "To create the happiness of others is difficult. But it's enough to create the illusion of happiness."

The leading actor and tenor Félix courts Lydia and makes her feel loved, his wife Anita awakens the interest of Fédor, and Déribin overcomes his aversion to Aglaé and listens to her complaints. Meanwhile Jourdain's relatives have offered a large reward for his recapture and the police are searching for him. To bring his scheme to its completion, Jourdain organises a fancy-dress ball which culminates in an invasion of the local studios of Radio Azur by all the masked revellers, and a succession of mistaken identities, tricks and unmaskings results in the confused satisfaction of almost everyone. But Jourdain has to surrender himself and return to the asylum.

Tip Carter's teenaged daughter Linda is upset because her alcoholic father is drinking inside a bar and has a heart condition. Tip, a widower and a former newspaper crime reporter, moved to Mexico many years ago without explanation.

Trying to make amends for his behavior, Tip gets in touch with Dave Brady, a crime novelist he admires. Dave explains to his best friend, Los Angeles district attorney Dan McCracken, that he intends to travel to Mexico to see Tip in person. McCracken is aware of the circumstances, that Tip was a suspect in a murder case but skipped the country instead.

Tip explains to Dave that he was about to expose the killers' identities 15 years ago when gangsters Caruthers and Gato forced him to flee to Mexico by threatening his daughter's life. He is now ready to return Linda to the land of her birth and face the consequences. But when a hired assassin called Cookie takes a shot at him, Tip realizes that the gangsters are after him.

Taking back roads toward Nogales in a car, Dave and the Morgans are pursued by Caruthers and Gato as well as Cookie. A passing car's driver, an American woman, Eve Carter, offers to be of help. Linda is taken hostage and knocked unconscious. It turns out Eve is in collusion with the gangsters. She berates them for bungling the job, and Cookie is killed over his incompetence in completing the job.

Eve remains in hot pursuit, but using wiles that helped him with his crime novels, Dave arranges for the border police to nab Eve and the gangsters. He manages to get the Morgans back to L.A. safely. There, to his disappointment, he finds out that his friend, McCracken, is behind the whole scheme, having years ago taken a bribe from the mob. The Morgans are no longer in danger, however, because Dave, having had his suspicions, has already summoned the police here, too.

The king of Crete, Cadmos, has just murdered his wife in order to live with his scheming lover Ermione. For this deed, a prophetess curses him in the name of the gods, foretelling him that the day on which his infant daughter Antiope falls in love with a man will be the day he dies. Furious at the gods' judgement, and unable to kill Antiope on the spot (lest the curse would fulfill itself immediately), megalomaniacal Cadmos renounces the gods and proclaims himself one. To this end, he and Ermione undergo a treatment with mystical vapors which render their bodies invulnerable (save for one critical spot on Ermione's chest incautiously left covered).

Once Antiope has reached the proper age, Cadmos plans to have her ordained as a priestess in his service, to have her shut away from the world of men in a life of enforced chastity. Enraged by this intention, Zeus finally decides to send an agent to do his bidding. He turns to the Titans, still incarcerated in the pits of Tartarus, and offers them release if their youngest and weakest, but smartest of their number, Crios, agrees to cast Cadmos into the underworld.

Crios is happy to accept the assignment and is taken to the capitol of Crete, where he meets and befriends Aquiles, Cadmos' mute personal servant. Soon afterwards, he witnesses a slave named Rator being condemned for execution in a gladiatorial fight for the king's amusement. Instantly recognizing his opportunity, Crios begins to criticize the king loudly, starting a merry chase through the city streets before he allows himself to be captured. In the palace dungeon, which is located right beneath Cadmos' throne, he comes face-to-face with Antiope as she is being ordained as a priestess, and instantly becomes smitten with her. When he and his fellow prisoners, including Rator, are made to fight to the death before Cadmos and Ermione, Crios bribes a guard into procuring some oil to rub onto his skin, making him ungrappable for Rator, who has defeated all the others before taking on Crios. As a result, Crios wins and becomes Cadmos' servant, but his uncautious demonstration of his wits and clandestine visits to Antiope eventually alert Ermione to his true intentions.

Finally, one day Cadmos decides to initiate a literal manhunt, with Rator as the prey. Crios, who accompanies him, manages to separate Cadmos from the rest of the hunting party and take him to the cliffs at the edge of the sea, where they catch up with Rator. However, as Crios prepares to take Cadmos with him, Ermione and the rest of the hunters interfere, and unable to kill Cadmos, Crios and Rator team up and jump off the cliffs into the sea. While hiding in a nearby ruined temple of Pluto, Crios uses the temple's secret connection to make a trip back to Tartarus and steal the helmet of Pluto, an artifact which renders its wearer completely invisible at night. But as he uses the helmet's power to try and rescue Antiope, he finds her spirited away by Cadmos and Ermione. Taking Aquiles with him, Crios learns that Antiope has been imprisoned on the Isle of the Gorgon. He proceeds there with the help of his friends, kills the gorgon in a surprise attack and reunites with Antiope, but upon the gorgon's demise a violent thunderstorm breaks out, alerting Cadmos. Immediately after the storm has settled, the tyrant sends out his troops to the isle to investigate.

Using the helmet, Crios tries to spook the arriving soldiers, but a panicked trooper inadvertently hits him with a spear, wounding him. In order to save his life, Antiope willingly surrenders to the soldiers, and Rator is caught as well. When things look at their bleakest for Crios, however, Zeus decides to release the rest of the Titans to Earth in order to have the task completed. With the most welcome assistance of his brothers, and some of Zeus' thunderbolts purchased from his cyclopedian weaponsmiths, Crios infiltrates the city, attacks its garrison of soldiers, and eventually stirs its oppressed people into rebellion against their tyrant ruler. With the liberated Rator in tow, they begin to penetrate the palace's inner sanctum. When Ermione mocks Cadmos for his failure as a "god", Cadmos kills her and sets out to take revenge on Crios.

In the lower caves of the palace, Crios and his brothers confront Cadmos' priests, who are rendered unkillable by the mystic vapors filling their temple. Crios uses one of the thunderbolts to breach an underwater reservoir, sweeping the vapors away and stripping the priests of their advantage, but the waters also begin to flood Antiope's cell, threatening to drown her. As Crios races to her rescue, Cadmos intercepts him. Knowing he couldn't harm his enemy directly, Crios instead casts the last of his thunderbolts at Cadmos' feet, sending him bodily to Hades. After Antiope is freed, the redeemed Titans make Crete their new home.

Successful American lawyer Robert Hayward (William Holden) is in Kenya because his ex-wife Christine (Capucine) is having problems with their eleven-year-old daughter Tina (Pamela Franklin), with whom he has had no contact for many years. Tina, who has a great affinity with Africa, its customs and its wildlife, initially resents her father, feeling he had abandoned her.

Christine has remarried and her new husband John Bullit (Trevor Howard), a former big-game hunter, now manages a large Kenyan animal preserve. Tina considers Bullitt her father and Hayward merely her mother's ex-husband. There is tension between the adults because Christine left Hayward for Bullitt, having become "bewitched" by the beauty of Kenya and the wild, free lifestyle of the African bush. Christine is alarmed that Tina is likewise "bewitched" by the wild lifestyle Bullitt encourages, and fears her daughter's development is endangered by having no contact with modern society.

Tina spends much of her time in the company of King, a full-grown male lion she raised from a cub. Tina believes she has a psychic bond with the lion, even to the point of challenging King's mate, a wild lioness. Hayward earns Tina's respect when he witnesses this encounter without panicking but she fails to realize that her father now shares her mother's alarm over her dangerous lifestyle.

Hayward and Bullit compete for the romantic affection of Christine and for the daughterly affection of Tina. Bullitt further emphasises the danger of the African bush by taking Hayward with him, Christine and Tina on a reckless jeep trip, needlessly harassing enraged wild elephants, from which they only narrowly escape. Bullitt at first laughs off the danger but realizes afterwards that his macho display has backfired when it is revealed that Hayward has the legal right to claim custody of Tina.

The proud son and heir of a local Masai tribal chief has become enamored of Tina, having observed the almost magical connection between Tina and King. Hunting lions with only a spear and shield is how young men prove their valor, and this young man has not yet killed one. The chief is very old and becomes sick from a wound he received years before in a lion hunt. As local custom dictates, the old man is left in the bush to die, a fate which he accepts without complaint. But Hayward is horrified by his abandonment and even more shocked when Tina and Christine support leaving the chief where he is. Hayward insists against everyone's protests that the chief should be brought to their compound for treatment, though the camp's worker Kihero begs him not to, as their tribes are enemies.

The tribe believes the old chief is dead and proceeds with the ceremony to elevate his son as the new chief. At the ceremony, all the young people dance hypnotically in a courtship ritual and Hayward sees that Tina wants to join in, becoming as frenzied as the other youths. The young chief formally requests Tina's hand in marriage in front of the entire tribe. Just at this moment, the old chief rushes back into the village, denouncing his son and driving him from the village.

Enraged at Hayward's interference, the young man kills Kihero and seeks out King. Tina commands King to kill Kihero's murderer and a ferocious fight ensues. Bullitt is forced to shoot King, and the young warrior is killed too. Finally even Bullitt can see that this is not a fit environment to raise Tina, and he accepts that he has lost Christine as well. Hayward's reunited family flies home to America to start a new life together.

In 2005, Allan Karlsson (Robert Gustafsson) lives alone with his pet cat Molotov as his only company. When Molotov is killed by a fox, an enraged Allan gets revenge by blowing up the fox using dynamite, which prompts the authorities to move him to a retirement home in Malmköping. On the same day as his centenary celebration, Allan climbs out of the window and disappears, walking to the bus station intending on traveling as far as he can. While waiting for his bus, a young skinhead (Simon Säppenen) angrily demands Allan watch his suitcase whilst he uses the toilet. When the bus arrives, Allan leaves with the suitcase, and travels to the remote location of Byringe. By the time he leaves Malmkoping, his carers have informed the police of his disappearance, and Inspector Aronsson (Ralph Carlsson) is investigating, unaware of the suitcase in Allan's possession.

In Byringe, Allan is helped by recluse Julius Jonsson, who helps him fight off the pursuing gangsters to whom the suitcase belongs. While fleeing the scene, Allan and Julius catch a lift from Benny, an insecure young man, and all three find their way to a smallholding where Gunilla lives with her pet elephant, Sonja. The gangsters meet their individual deaths through misadventure, apart from Gäddan, their violent boss, who loses his memory after an accident and becomes part of the group.

Parts of the film co-exist with the main story as a series of flashbacks in Allan's life. In his childhood, Allan's father invents the condom, an invention that was seen by the Swedish monarchy as blasphemous. Enraged, Allan's father travels to Russia after the Russian Revolution to set up his own republic and support his invention, only to be executed by firing squad. While still young, Allan's sick mother eventually dies, but her final words to him are never to think or talk too much. In her words, she tells Allan that "That is what it is, and that it will be what it will be".

In his youth, Allan is sent to a mental hospital after accidentally blowing up a local butcher who swindled his mother. Upon being released as an adult, Allan finds work at a cannon foundry, where he befriends Esteban, a Spanish revolutionary. The talkative Esteban convinces Allan to go with him to Spain to fight the Nationalist regime under Francisco Franco. Esteban is immediately killed, reminding Allan of his mother's warnings about talking too much. Allan's expertise in explosives makes his job of blowing up bridges crucial to the Republican forces. However, moments before destroying a bridge, Allan's love of explosives suddenly palls and he decides to leave. General Franco's staff car approaches the bridge he was supposed to demolish, the explosion taking place seconds after Allan waves down the car, making Allan appear a hero. Franco invites Allan to a dinner, where he presents his favorite pistol to him for saving his life.

Years after the Civil War, Allan sells the pistol to buy a work permit to travel to America. When informed that the world's biggest bomb is being assembled, Allan's passion for explosives is re-ignited and he helps Robert Oppenheimer (Philip Rosch) in successfully developing the atomic bomb. For his work, Allan receives praise from U.S. Vice President Harry S. Truman (Kerry Shale) for 'building a bomb that will stop all wars'. During a drunken dinner, Truman is informed by telephone that Franklin D. Roosevelt, then President of the United States, has died, and Truman is immediately sworn in as president.

Allan returns to Sweden, but on touching down he is met by representatives of the Swedish government, seeking to make use of his knowledge of the atomic bomb. However, they are totally unconvinced that Allan, who never attended a university, could have any vital role in its development of the bomb and they abandon any attempt to interrogate him further. A man named Popov later befriends Allan, gets him drunk and leads him to Moscow. During a drunken party with Joseph Stalin, Allan accidentally admits that he saved Franco's life, causing the infuriated Stalin to imprison Allan in a Siberian Gulag labor camp.

The story continues through other countries and wild adventures, with Allan "coincidentally" meeting new people, both famous and ordinary, and causing world changing events, in a way that has been compared with ''Forrest Gump''. The two storylines of Allan's life in the past, and his adventures since he climbed out of the window, eventually merge. The police call off the search for Allan, not realizing he has anything to do with the loss of the suitcase and money. With the help of Popov's son Oleg, Allan and his friends settle down to a life of leisure in Bali.

The life of Tatiana Prokofievna, an aging woman with a diva's behavior – is banal and dull. To escape the everyday slumber she seeks companionship of young men. She provides shelter and becomes involved in their problems. Her ex-boyfriend has married a younger woman. Tatjana is forced to keep her loneliness hidden because of her role as hostess.

Some days of the young man living in Almaty. Boozes, girlfriends, an idle talk, drugs – here the maintenance of his life. And, seemingly, it for a long time, if not forever. "I didn't manage to appeal to the Marble Admiral as he turned on heels, precisely the horse who became on racks before the Pole star and specified to me that place on the cocked hat where I will have to carry out the life..."

Djamel (Mustapha Benstiti) tries to escape the spiral of drugs and delinquency which crushes all his friends in the suburban city where he lives. He works at the municipal swimming pool and wants to start a family with Sahlia (Tabatha Cash), the sister of his friend Mezz (Micky El Mazroui), who wants to break all ties with his culture of origin.

For a detailed plot, see ''David Copperfield (novel)''.

Robert Saunders (Dylan McDermott) wakes up to find himself bound and locked inside a meat locker. After he is able to cut himself loose, two Russian mobsters Kiril and Stepan enter the freezer to question him. It becomes apparent that neither understand English, but before they leave they tell a confused Robert they want "money". Left alone, Robert finds a ventilation duct in the top of the ceiling that appears to lead to the fans inside the locker. Just then, he finds a ringing cell phone on the floor and speaks with Detective Al Dorian, who first addresses him as "Sam". Robert explains that he was having dinner in a restaurant with his girlfriend for his birthday before being knocked unconscious and thrown into the freezer. Before Dorian can complete a trace, the mobsters return and destroy the phone. They are accompanied this time by the bilingual Alisa (Yuliya Snigir), who accuses Robert of having stolen $8 million from them and demands its return; otherwise, he will freeze to death within four hours. He tries to convince them that he is innocent and this is a case of mistaken identity, but the Russians are undeterred and take his shoes before leaving.

After finding bags to wrap his bare feet, Robert tries to keep his body temperature up by exercising. While running around the room, he knocks over some boxes revealing a seriously wounded Detective Sam Gurov lying in a shelf. Sam tells Robert that he will not be allowed to leave the locker alive regardless if he is able to convince the mobsters he is innocent. Before passing out, he confesses that he was an undercover cop trying to bring down the mobsters' boss, Oleg. Robert hides Sam again and begins attempting to stop the fans by beating them with a fire extinguisher.

The Russians return and again Alisa demands to know where the money is. Robert maintains his ignorance of the matter and evades her questions, but a groan from Sam alerts Kiril. Robert takes advantage of the situation by grabbing Alisa as Kiril threatens to kill Sam. Sam shatters Robert's innocence by telling them Robert took the money despite his protests. Robert deduces that Alisa was supposed to be in charge of the lost money and she begs Robert to confess if not to save himself, then to save her. After the Russians leave again, Sam explains that after a failed hit, Oleg began moving his vast fortune around for protection; during the shuffle, the $8 million was lost. Sam volunteers to change clothes with Robert and pose as him in order to allow Robert a chance at escape. The plan fails, and Robert, in a bid to save Sam's life, confesses that the money is hidden in the restaurant where he was abducted. Despite this, he is knocked out and Sam is killed.

Upon waking up, Robert makes Alisa believe that Stepan is the real thief and Robert is being framed, since Stepan was responsible for both the death of Sam's informant and identifying Robert as the thief. Robert kills Kiril with a meat hook, but is incapacitated by Stepan before he can escape. Alisa, now clearly shaken, tells Stepan that Robert accused him of taking the money. Enraged by Kiril's death, Stepan drags Alisa out of the freezer and locks Robert inside once again. After he puts on Kiril's clothes, he continues to search for but fails to find any way out of the meat locker. When Stepan and Alisa return, Robert convinces them to let him contact Detective Dorian because, as Sam's partner, he will know where the money is. Stepan impatiently ends the call and throws a bucket of water on Robert before leaving.

With hypothermia setting in Robert again tries to disconnect the fan wires in ventilation shaft, but is unable due to his state. At that time, a well-dressed and bound Russian man is thrown into the room with Robert. The man, introducing himself as Danil, offers to help Robert escape in exchange for a portion of the money. Robert instructs Danil to cut the electrical wires in the shaft, but when the mobsters enter the room, Danil is electrocuted to death. Alisa reveals that Danil was merely a plant to get the truth from Robert and was in fact Vadim, Oleg's son.

When Oleg arrives, he finds Robert and identifies him as the assassin who previously failed to kill him. Once Robert drops his claimed innocence and acknowledges the truth, he and Oleg fight as Alisa and Stepan look on. Due to his weakened state, Oleg gains the upper hand but is killed by Alisa before he can finish off Robert. Alisa is in fact Robert's girlfriend and had been working on the inside for him. A wounded Stepan escapes and locks the two inside. Robert uses the severed electrical wires to cause the metal meat rack to give off enough heat to warm their hands. At this time, Detective Dorian arrives and demands to know where the money is after instructing the two to bind their hands to the rack. Alisa confesses that the money has been inside the meat locker the entire time, hidden inside the boxes of cuts. While Dorian is distracted with this, Alisa and Robert escape by burning through the zip ties binding their wrists together on the heated rack.

Robert and Alisa use a semi-truck to hook up to the freezer with the money and Dorian inside. After traveling to a port, they load the container onto a cargo ship. Alisa gives Robert a "birthday present" from Oleg, a box of cuts holding a large amount of money. They drive off planning a warm vacation, but not before knocking an injured Stepan into the bay.

Surprisingly, Chan becomes a sensation in Japan for his performance of being sexually harassed and dominated by women in the AV. Hatoyama immediately travels to Hong Kong to persuade Chan to pursue his unrealistic dream—a Hong Kong man entering the Japanese AV industry.

This is a story about the biggest financial fraud attempted in Hong Kong, directed at the Government of Hong Kong and all 7 million Hong Kong citizens... no one is free from the scheme. Within the four decades of guarding Hong Kong's financial integrity, the ICAC has never come across an opponent so huge and so well organized as in the Z Torrent file... shadowy figures from the underworld of South America, Italy and Europe all ready to plot against the estimated 150 million dollars of Hong Kong citizens' tax money which was pooled in a fund called the Community Care Fund. High-profile chartered accountants, high ranking law enforcers, power lawyers, the super entrepreneurs; they all have their shares of play but none can really grasp the big picture; they are there only for what they desire most. When the wife of an up-rising star Superintendent of police force reported his corruption simply out of bitterness for being ill-treated, little did she know she is about to pull the head string from a very well weaved web of deceive, greed, sex, power, and last but not least, fear. The ICAC agent Luk (Louis Koo) who took charge of the simple complaint felt otherwise... it's his passion for justice that has been driving him all these years in the battle against bribery and corruption, even after losing his beloved wife. Further investigation soon revealed many unanswered questions and loose ends...the death of an ex-godfather status accountant of Hong Kong, the threats to even the seemingly harmless witnesses and informers, and the surfacing of a mysterious lady, all have connection with Luk's wanted list but with a background as simple and as tragic as a girl next door with cancer. As Luk dug deeper into the web, he is being hunted by trained foreign mercenaries; a tactic very seldom or never heard of in the history of Hong Kong's underworld! With the support of his superior the old but streetwise Deputy Chief of ICAC, Yu (Cheung Siu-fai), Luk eventually unlocked the door to the plan, but only after a bloodbath gun battle which almost cost him his life and that of the attractive mysterious woman, Angel (Dada Chan).

Every ten years for the last forty years, a woman's body is discovered in the woods outside of Black Water, drained of blood and bearing mysterious bite marks. Raymond Banks (Bill Oberst Jr.) has been convicted of the crime, but Black Water resident Danielle (Danielle Lozeau) doesn't believe that he's the murderer. Hoping to prove his innocence and thus get Raymond off of death row, Danielle convinces her friends Andrea (Andrea Monier) and Rob (Robin Steffen) to venture out into the woods to search for evidence. They hire Anthony (Anthony Fanelli) to film their search, which quickly turns bizarre when they begin to hear stories about supernatural creatures, as well as being creeped out by the strange townspeople. Despite Rob's misgivings, the group begins a three-day hike to see where one of the bodies was discovered, only to get lost in the process.

On their third day of hiking, they finally find the location where the fourth and last body was found, but suddenly realize that they have lost Rob. After searching for him for several hours, the three are forced to give up and set up camp. During the night, they hear noises outside the tent. When they go to investigate, they are attacked by a nosferatu-esque vampire creature. The creature drags off Danielle. Andrea wants to save her, but Anthony insists they try and escape. In the morning, Anthony and Andrea come across Danielle, naked and visibly traumatized. Danielle claims that there is something inside her, and this is proven true when she is revealed to be impregnated with something.

After trying and failing to convince Andrea to abandon the deteriorating Danielle, Anthony becomes exasperated and ditches the girls, only to be attacked and killed by the vampire seconds later. Several hours later, Danielle and Andrea find the camera on the ground. They quickly become surrounded by several motionless townspeople holding guns. The two girls get split up and Andrea hides in Raymond Banks' house. However, the vampire finds her in the house and she runs back outside. Andrea reunites with Danielle, but their joy is momentary, as seconds later the vampire appears and rips out Andrea's throat while Danielle flees in terror. She is then accosted by the townspeople who hold her down while whatever is in her stomach begins to burst out.

The final scene is of the townspeople attending a party for a baby's first birthday party. The person filming pans the camera across Danielle's lifeless face before landing on the baby in its crib, which is revealed to be an infant vampire. After this shot, the film ends.

The cartoon starts with Krazy and a spider monkey playing banjos on opposite sides of a hilltop house. But because they are playing different tunes, they find each other's play disrupting. The two meet each other face to face, resulting in Krazy smashing his banjo on the monkey's head, leaving the simian completely unconscious. Krazy then takes some of the monkey's candy before wandering the outdoors.

As Krazy wanders further, he encounters a hippo having a toothache, and a rat who tries to extract the tooth. After being unable to remove it, the rat gives up and tells Krazy to take over. Krazy tries to pull the tooth but finds it very difficult. He even goes as far as entering the hippo's stomach but to no avail. As a last resort, Krazy places a stick of dynamite in the cavity of the tooth and lights the fuse. Following the blast, Krazy manages to take a pair of teeth, and even receives payment as a money note falls from above. The hippo, however, is nowhere to be seen, suggesting that the animal might have been obliterated by the explosion.

Chip and Bliss escape to an empty drive-in movie theater. She explains that Johnny invented a "resurrection suit" that could give him control over anyone with special metal implants. Though Johnny had the right hand glove, she stole the rest of the suit and that is why Johnny is chasing her.

A concert promoter named King Clayton (Reggie Bannister) comes to Johnny and reveals where Bliss is heading. Clayton then asks for a favor in return for the information. He explains that Johnny's long-lost father and rock star Mickey O'Flynn (Creed Bratton) died suddenly and he wants Johnny to use the resurrection suit to control the musician's corpse for a concert. Johnny agrees to do so because doing an unselfish act will allow him and his gang to return to their home planet.

Aiko, fifth-generation boss of Hachinosu-kai, the biggest yakuza clan in Kansai, wishes to take over Kanto and sends Issei Nekozawa, No. 3 of the Chibiki Family, to spark a conflict between the peacefully coexisting clans. Nekozawa attempts to rape Junna at the brothel but Reiji fights him and his men off. Hiura takes over the brothel as a new revenue source for their clan and rewards Reiji by introducing him to his father Masayoshi Ako.
At the meeting Reiji drops a pill of MDMA and it is picked up by Kenta Kurokawa. Reiji meets Kenta later to become partners in the drug business run by Ako and Kenta that is secret from everyone else in the Akogi-gumi and the two make a pact through a game of Russian roulette. Reiji informs Kazumi of this by phone but then he is captured by Kuroken, a yakuza biker with a full-body leopard tattoo, and taken to Nekozawa, who has shot his own men and plans to blame it on Reiji. Aiko calls and tells Nekozawa and told that Reiji has not yet taken part in the sakazuki ritual and therefore is not yet a member of the Sukiya-kai. Nekozawa vows to start the clan war as soon as Reiji takes part in the sakazuki ritual. The biker finds Hiura on the road and attempts to shoot him. Hiura knocks him off his bike and enjoys the banter they have, inviting him to continue their conflict as he leaves.
Reiji assists Hiura with some debt collection for the clan and Hiura personally flies them to Aoushi Island in a small plane to collect 40 million yen from Akio Sakuno, the man who brought Hiura into the life but whose formerly swank lifestyle has been destroyed by drugs. Akio has gone into hiding so Hiura and Reiji visit his parents Yahei and Shizue Sakuno to collect the debt but they find the elderly couple living in an old shack and Hiura instead gives them a gift of 2 million yen. Reiji is impressed and decides to take part in the sakazuki ritual in order to take out the drug dealers. Shuho Todoroki attends the ceremony where Reiji gives him the evil eye and is forced to explain that he plans to take out Shuho and become the head man. His passion reminds Shuho of the old days and they make him a yakuza, explaining that betrayal will mean his death and that he must now obey Ako as his father. Shuho acts as witness and witnesses Reiji wholeheartedly eat the ceramic saucer to combine it with his soul and Hiura acts as mediator to complete the ceremony.
Nekozawa immediately responds with war and attacks Reiji's crew on the street, where Hiura is seriously injured shielding Reiji from an exploding grenade. The Hachinosu-kai distribute a fake notice to their family and to the police that Reiji injured two unarmed members of their family in order to justify the war. While visiting the comatose Hiura in the hospital, Tsukihara tells Ako that the Russian mafia wants to sell a million pills of MDMA and that Nekozawa's clan tried offering 800 yen per pill but that was not enough. Ako replaces Hiura with Tsukihara as his No. 2. Reiji, fearing that he will die a virgin, has sex with Junna. Reiji tells the police about the drug deal and they tell him that Tsukihara is Ako's illegitimate child and must be arrested as well because he controls Ako's side businesses and finances. They also tell him that Hiura was abducted by a man with leopard tattoos. Hiura awakens in captivity, his legs having been amputated. A doctor who does not speak Japanese fits him with prosthetic legs.
Reiji convinces Tsukihara to tell him about the drug business and gives the police one of the cans from Tsukihara's dog food business used to transport the drugs. He must attend the drug deal aboard the Russian boat ''Crime & Punishment'' near the docks and avoid the DEA and the police who want him for attempted murder as well as Nekozawa in order to have Todoroki arrested and prove his innocence with the assistance of Kazumi's team waiting to ambush the yakuza. Tsukihara anticipates the ambush and instead secretly has the MDMA delivered by swimming dogs. Nekozawa surprises the police ambush and is chased off by them but then reaches Reiji and attacks him as Reiji pantomimes a swimming dog to the police running surveillance. The police attempt to sacrifice Reiji but he fights back with new confidence. Kuroken arrives on a motorcycle and brings Hiura, whose new legs enable the Crazy Papillon to take flying leaps and fight off the yakuza clans. Kuroken shoots a rocket launcher into a crane, which collapses and crushes Nekozawa. Reiji pursues Tsukihara and is shot by him but the bullet is stopped by the bulletproof vest that Junna fashioned for him. Reiji defeats Tsukihara in a fistfight and has him arrested. Tsukihara takes full blame for the drug deal so Reiji is unable to arrest Ako or Shuho but he is glad that he has stopped the war between the Sukiya-kai and the Hachinosu-kai. The film ends with Hiura pulling his fancy red car up to the hiding Reiji with Kuroken in the passenger seat and Hiura saying that he thought of something funny.

Amelia Vanek is a troubled and exhausted widow living in the Australian city of Adelaide, who has brought up her six-year-old son Samuel alone. Her late husband, Oskar, was killed in a car accident that occurred as he drove Amelia to the hospital during labour. Sam begins displaying erratic behaviour: he becomes an insomniac and is preoccupied with an imaginary monster, against which he has built weapons to fight. Amelia is forced to pick up her son from school after Sam brings one of the weapons there. One night, Sam asks his mother to read a pop-up storybook called ''Mister Babadook''. It describes the titular monster, the Babadook, a tall pale-faced humanoid in a top hat with taloned fingers which torments its victims after they become aware of its existence. Amelia is disturbed by the book and its mysterious appearance, while Sam becomes convinced that the Babadook is real. Sam's persistence about the Babadook leads Amelia to often have sleepless nights as she tries to comfort him.

Soon after, strange events occur: doors open and close mysteriously by themselves, strange sounds are heard and Amelia finds glass shards in her food. She attributes the events to Sam's behaviour, but he blames the Babadook. Amelia rips up the book and disposes of it. At her birthday party, Sam's cousin Ruby bullies Sam for not having a father, in response to which he pushes her out of her tree house; as a result she breaks her nose. Amelia's sister Claire admits she cannot bear Sam, to which Amelia takes great offence. On the drive home, Sam has another vision of the Babadook and suffers a seizure, so Amelia gets some sedatives from a paediatrician.

The following morning, Amelia finds the ''Mister Babadook'' book reassembled on the front door step. New words taunt her by saying that the Babadook will become stronger if she continues to deny its existence, containing pop-ups of her killing their dog Bugsy, Sam, and then herself. Terrified, Amelia burns the book and runs to the police station after a disturbing phone call. However, Amelia has no proof of the stalking, and when she then sees the Babadook's suit hung up behind the front desk, she leaves. That night, Amelia tries to fall asleep and watches the Babadook open her bedroom door, crawl up the ceiling and attack her. She then turns on all the lights in the house and falls asleep with Sam downstairs. After the attack, Amelia starts to become more isolated and shut-in, becoming impatient, shouting at Samuel for 'disobeying' her constantly, and having frequent visions of the Babadook once again. Her mental state slowly decays and she exhibits erratic and violent behaviour, including cutting the phone line with a knife and then waving the same knife aggressively at Sam without realizing it. This devolves into disturbing hallucinations, in which Amelia violently murders Sam.

Shortly after these visions, Amelia sees an apparition of Oskar, who offers to return to her if she "brings the boy" to him. Realizing that he is a creation of the Babadook, Amelia flees and is stalked through the house by the Babadook until it finally possesses her. Under its influence she breaks Bugsy's neck and attempts to kill Sam. Eventually luring her into the basement, Sam knocks her out. Tied up, Amelia awakens with Sam, terrified, nearby. When she tries to strangle him, he lovingly caresses her face, causing her to regurgitate an inky black substance, which seemingly expels the Babadook. When Sam reminds Amelia that "you can't get rid of the Babadook," an unseen force drags him into Amelia's bedroom. After saving Sam, Amelia is forced by the Babadook to re-watch a vision of her husband's death. Furious, she confronts the Babadook, making the beast retreat into the basement, and she locks the door behind it.

After this ordeal, Amelia and Sam manage to recover. Amelia is attentive and caring toward him, encouraging him toward the weapons he makes and being impressed at Sam's magic tricks. They gather earthworms in a bowl, and Amelia takes them to the basement, where the Babadook resides. She places the bowl on the floor for the Babadook to eat. However, as the beast tries to attack her, Amelia calms it down, and it retreats to the corner, taking the earthworms with it. Amelia returns to the yard to celebrate Sam's birthday.

In the silver mining town of Skalitz, young Henry is a simple apprentice living with his mother and his blacksmith father, Martin, during a period of turmoil in the Kingdom of Bohemia after King Wenceslaus was captured and held captive in Vienna by his half-brother King Sigismund of Croatia and Hungary. In December 1402 Sigismund’s army seized and sacked the important town of Kuttenberg, north-west of Skalitz and the principal economic center of the region. On 28 March 1403, Henry and Martin are putting the finishing touches on a commissioned sword for King Wenceslaus' hetman, Sir Radzig Kobyla, who visit them to admire the sword with his guest, Hungarian nobleman Sir István Tóth, when Skalitz is attacked by an army of Cuman soldiers under Sigismund's command. Sigismund's adjutant, German nobleman Sir Markvart von Aulitz, kills Henry's parents as Henry flees to the nearest castle of Talmberg to warn its lord, Sir Divish, of the attack. Taking advantage of a storm that causes the Hungarian army to retreat on the hills above Skalitz to take cover from the rain, Sir Radzig sneaks the survivors out of Skalitz castle and leads them to Rattay.

On the next morning Sigismund’s army appears in front of Talmberg’s walls and Sir Markvart von Aulitz parleys with Sir Divish in order to try to know if Sir Radzig is hiding inside Talmberg, but Sir Divish lies and answer that he doesn’t know where Radzig is. Sigismund’s army leaves the region. Meanwhile, Henry is devastated that his parents have not been properly buried, and sneaks back to Skalitz against Divish's orders. Henry is then confronted by a group of bandits, instigated by fellow Skalitz survivor Zbyshek who has profited from the absence of Sigismund’s army to loot the town; their leader, Runt, defeats him in a duel and steals the commissioned sword. Henry's life is saved by another Skalitz survivor, Theresa, and Talmberg's Captain Robard and his guard, who take him to Rattay where Henry is harboured by the local miller Peshek, Theresa’s uncle.

Seeking to recover his father's sword and avenge his parents, Henry enters the service of Sir Hanush of Leipa, acting Lord of Rattay and guardian to his young nephew, Lord Hans Capon. Henry and Lord Capon brawl with each other, so Sir Hanush forces them to go hunting together. During the hunt, Capon, whilst chasing a boar, bumps into a Cuman encampment. After saving Capon from the Cumans, Henry becomes Sir Radzig's envoy. Henry then investigates a bandit raid on a local stud farm in Neuhof with Sir Bernard of Oleshna’s, captain of the Rattay guard, soldiers, and eventually discovers, after tracking down some of the raiders in Ledetchko and Merhojed, a concealed camp housing both bandits led by Runt and Cumans in the ruins of Pribyslavitz. With Radzig's and Divish's soldiers, Henry helps to attack and overwhelm the camp. He then kills Runt, but fails to locate the commissioned sword.

The camp leads the Lords to believe that someone is secretly raising an insurgency. Henry follows various leads to discover a group of bandits operating near Sasau, where they are recruiting men, taking copper through blacksmith Zach and quicksilver through a mysterious figure inside Sasau Monastery. Following a lead about forged coins, Henry finds another knight, Ulrich von Passau, investigating on the undergoing activities in Sasau. Henry and Ulrich locate the forgers’ laboratory in the Skalitz mines, where they found disgraced nobleman Sir Jezhek of Ronow, the man entrusted by the conspirators to forge coins to pay their mercenaries. Henry interrogates Sir Jezhek in Rattay prison and discovers that a foreigner named Erik is behind the turmoil in Sasau, so Sir Radzig entrusts Henry to infiltrates the bandit ranks. He is led to the bandits' stronghold in Vranik, finding a large hidden army composed of Czech mercenary soldiers. There he runs into Istvan Toth, a Hungarian nobleman who was visiting Skalitz the day of the attack. Toth recognizes Henry and has him captured and tortured. Toth reveals that he wields Henry's father's sword and plans to use his mercenaries to conquer Bohemian lands, expecting Sigismund to reward him once he reigns as king. He also reveals that Henry is actually Sir Radzig's illegitimate son.

With the help of a former Skalitz villager, Zbyshek, Henry escapes and warns the Lords of Toth's treachery. Radzig acknowledges Henry as his son, but keeps focus on the burgeoning situation. The Lords and their combined army assemble at Vranik and assault the stronghold, defeating its garrison. However, Toth and a large number of his mercenaries have infiltrated Talmberg and captured its castle, taking Divish's wife Stephanie and Sir Radzig as hostages. The Lords are forced to lay siege on Talmberg.

Sir Divish has Henry recruit Konrad Kyeser and commands the building of a trebuchet, which they use to breach the castle's walls. The Lords enter Talmberg, overwhelm Toth's soldiers, and Sir Hanush negotiates the release of the hostages in exchange for Toth's safe departure. Henry is angered by Toth's escape, while Radzig believes that they will encounter him again, though they should not let vengeance consume them. Radzig also reveals that he and Henry's mother were lovers when they were young, but Radzig could not marry a commoner, which was why he allowed Martin to be Henry's father.

In the epilogue, Henry is visited by Martin in a dream, who commends Henry for his courage and perseverance before walking away with Henry's mother into the afterlife. Henry awakens in Rattay, embracing his new life as a nobleman's son. The Lords are then visited by Jobst, the Margrave of Moravia and King Wenceslaus' cousin. Jobst has negotiated an alliance with various nobles throughout the empire against Sigismund, whose victory is uncertain, especially since the war has resulted in an uprising against him back in Hungary. He wishes to have the Bohemian Lords join, hoping that this alliance will sway Sigismund's supporters to sue for peace. The Lords are uncertain of this plan, but agree that Wenceslaus must be restored to the throne. To assess the situation, Henry and Capon depart on a journey to visit one of Sigismund's allies, Otto von Bergow, at his estate in Trosky Castle, with a letter enquiring whether or not his allegiance to Sigismund has been shaken. Henry remarks that his personal quest remains to kill von Aulitz and recover his father's sword.

The main characters of ''Project Raphael'' appear in this story, as they are caught up in the machinations of Nablovsky agents' attempts to manipulate world financial and commodity markets. Several attempts are made to kidnap Malcolm Holmes, a young man living in a small Yorkshire town. Malcolm has psychic abilities, which brought him to the attention of British Intelligence agency MI7, who needed him to successfully reach out to their own ghost agent Raphael.

Malcolm and Polly Williams, a local journalist, are eventually tricked into boarding a plane that takes them to Moscow, where they are brought by Nablovsky team member Victor to a hideout in the sewer system. There they meet the Nablovsky ghost agent, who turns out to be Malcolm's long-absent father Michael. He has amassed a huge fortune from financial manipulation, which is protected by a DNA-based lock that he can no longer access, since he was killed. Being Michael's biological son, Malcolm can open the account, which will allow the conspirators to drain the account, and Polly is kept hostage to force Malcolm to comply.

Malcolm's mother, Moira, arrives in Moscow along with an MI7 agent named Winston and with an unexpected package: a case that contains the ghost agent Raphael. A further twist happens when Malcolm successfully accesses the account, because the funds don't go to into the hands of the Nablovsky agents as expected. Instead they are scattered into millions of different accounts around the world as planned by Michael. Larger sums are directed to several charities, and forty-four thousand pounds to his surviving family.

Punisher busts black market weapons dealer Cain who is in possession of stolen S.H.I.E.L.D. technology and takes him hostage, inadvertently interfering with Black Widow's secret mission to uncover a larger terror plot under investigation by S.H.I.E.L.D. Widow attempts to subdue Punisher and Cain escapes during the altercation. S.H.I.E.L.D. take Punisher into custody. Having lost their sole lead, Director Nick Fury offers Punisher his freedom in exchange for going on mission with Widow to locate Cain and stop the global terrorist group known as LEVIATHAN, who plan to auction the stolen technology to the highest bidder.

Widow and Punisher track Cain to a Leviathan base in Slovenia, and discover a lab filled with pods containing spies who have been turned into super-powered soldiers by Orion. Punisher captures Cain, but the latter activates a special function on his cellphone that emits a blinding flash of light directly into Punisher's face and causes him to lose time. When Punisher comes to, Cain has escaped. Widow crosses paths with a former lover and ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Elihas Starr, who was presumed dead but has been working for Leviathan. He reveals himself as the creator of the super-soldier serum and confesses he did it to become worthy of being with her, hoping she would join him. Widow declines and they fight while Punisher detonates explosives around the base. Punisher extracts Widow and Elihas disappears. Punisher reveals Cain's stolen cellphone, but it is heavily encrypted and they are unable to retrieve any information from it. They take it to S.H.I.E.L.D. super-genius Amadeus who decrypts the phone, but unknowingly activates the flash function. When they come to, an emergency countdown signalling an impending explosion has been activated. Punisher suddenly attacks Widow and kills several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Unable to stop the countdown, Amadeus incinerates the cellphone, destroying it completely and causing Punisher to snap out of the trance he was under. Widow tells Fury about Elihas' brainwashing technology, suspecting it was controlling Punisher, and advocates against his imprisonment. Fury reveals prior knowledge of the Leviathan technology based on possibly compromised past S.H.I.E.L.D. projects about mind control that had never been fully implemented, informing Widow that she and Punisher were specifically assigned the mission because S.H.I.E.L.D. had contingencies in place should either or both of them be compromised. The same risk could not be taken with the Avengers due to the powerful nature of the tech. Fury also knows that Elihas stole classified data from S.H.I.E.L.D. including samples of the Avengers blood to use for his project. He orders Widow to complete the mission on her own.

Angered that Fury would sacrifice them both, Widow defies his orders and takes Punisher with her to Hong Kong to meet Ren, an information handler with ties to the criminal underworld, who gives them the auction's time and location: in Madripoor that same night. The auction begins and Elihas is alerted to their presence on the compound. They are instantly overrun by the super soldiers. Hulk and Amadeus join the fight and Elihas activates the mind control technology. Punisher shields Widow while Hulk is protected by a nano-device coating over his eyes that Amadeus created to block the broadcast signals. Punisher and Widow use it on themselves before being attacked by more soldiers. Widow goes after Elihas and they fight on a catwalk above where the batch of super-soldiers for the auction are being kept. Elihas kicks Widow over the catwalk's railing but she manages to hold on. Realising he still loves her, Elihas pulls Widow to safety and they kiss. The two team up to retrieve an emergency kill-switch from Orion that Elihas created as a safety precaution against the super-soldiers. Hawkeye, Iron Man, Thor, War Machine and Captain Marvel arrive and breach the auction hall. Together with Punisher, Hulk, and Amadeus, they battle the Leviathan troops. Orion attacks Widow and Elihas when they confront him, but they are able to gain control of the switch and activate it, disabling all the active bio-soldiers. Punisher locates and attempts to shoot Elihas, which distracts Widow who is still fighting Orion. Orion fires a fatal blast at her, but Elihas jumps in the way and is hit instead. Punisher kills Orion and Elihas dies in Widow's arms.

In the aftermath, Fury orders Widow to arrest Punisher, who faces life in prison for killing Orion. She instead releases him once Fury leaves, saying "It's because you do things your way, and I do things my way…", and throws his handcuffs into the ocean. Later in Miami, Punisher tracks down Cain and kills him.

Earth has been taken over by a benign group of aliens known as the Monitors, gentlemanly figures clad in black overcoats and bowler hats. They are dedicated to suppressing humanity's propensities for violence, sex, war, and trouble, enforcing their ethos with spray cans of a pacifying gas and with television ads praising the Monitors' rule—the latter featuring cameos by a variety of comedic actors, as well as bandleader Xavier Cugat and Illinois senator Everett Dirksen (who died before the film's release).

A conflict with the Monitors, inspired by the outrageous antics of a street preacher (Larry Storch), leads to the flight of movie actress Barbara (Susan Oliver), who is a collaborator with the Monitors, along with free-lance pilot Harry (Guy Stockwell) and Harry's brother Max (Avery Schreiber), and their spiriting away by the "preacher", who turns out to be a leader of SCRAG or "Secret Counter Retaliatorial Group", an anti-Monitor resistance group. After a series of vicissitudes, with Harry among the Monitors and Barbara and Max among the SCRAG forces, the principals are reunited and, minus Barbara, fly off to Washington, D.C., in an attempt to foil a SCRAG plot to bomb Monitor headquarters.

The Monitors, who have been aware of all these events, have decided that human beings are not worthy of their leadership, and they depart. Humanity is free to return to its violent and corrupt ways.

. Troy (Donald Glover) is prepared to now enjoy his last day at Greendale before setting out on a sailing trip around the world as set forth by Pierce’s (Chevy Chase) will. While the rest of the study group wishes Troy their best, Abed (Danny Pudi) announces over the school's PA that the school is now holding a campus-wide game of "The Floor is Lava," with the last "survivor" set to win a comic book valued at $50,000. The campus breaks down into chaos as the game begins. Britta (Gillian Jacobs) suspects Abed is holding back his feelings and trying to prevent Troy from leaving.

Britta initially teams up with Jeff (Joel McHale) and Annie (Alison Brie). They work their way through the campus following Abed and Troy, using chairs and other pieces of furniture to stay off the floor, until they are set on by the "Locker Boys" led by Chang (Ken Jeong). Prof. Buzz Hickey (Jonathan Banks) then attacks both sides from an improvised tank, and Troy and Abed leave Britta for dead. Britta joins Hickey and the two lead an assault on "Shirley Island", a fortification set up in the cafeteria where Abed and Troy are hiding. Most of the combatants, including Jeff and Annie, fall into the "lava"; Abed and Troy escape on a zorb and Britta pursues them into the basement. As Britta presses Abed to acknowledge his feelings, he admits that he is terrified of losing Troy but cannot allow this to hold Troy back. Handing the prize comic book to Troy, Abed lets himself fall into the "lava" and plays dead. Troy and Britta, now seriously concerned with Abed's well-being, act out a scene where they resurrect him as a clone. Abed accepts this resolution, explaining that as a "clone" he can now accept Troy's departure rationally. Troy similarly lets himself fall into the "lava" (causing Britta to win the game), so that his "clone" can more resolutely face the impending journey.

As the school recovers from the game, Troy says goodbye to the group, who all claim to have been brought back as clones too. He notes that Pierce's will assigns a supervisor to his journey to make sure he doesn't cheat, as Pierce once did. The boat pulls up on a trailer, and the supervisor is revealed to be LeVar Burton, of whom Troy, now supposedly a clone, is no longer afraid. The group gives Troy a final goodbye as the boat on its trailer pulls away. In the closing scene, the boat is stuck in traffic and Troy asks Burton a list of questions about ''Star Trek''.

Living apart from the outside world, Edwin shares residence with his mother in a vast secluded mansion. She raises him to be god, telling him that his father, the original god, was killed by beasts from outside the estate, and that if he ever extricates himself he too will die. The beautiful estate they share is described as a complete fantasy world created by Mother and embellished by Edwin. It was all he ever knew and thus he lacked any reason to question his mother's version.

Over the course of the story, Edwin explores his universe and the various secrets and mysteries it holds. Among them is a woman other than Mother who serves as his "teacher," who is actually his mother in disguise. No matter which rooms of his Universe he visits, Edwin uses their windows as portals to glimpse the world beyond. He is unsuccessful in this task until he discovers the door open to a forbidden room.

Two police inspectors are investigating a homicide.

Bourne's friend Eli Yadin, head of Mossad, learns that Ouyang Jidan, a senior member of China's Politburo, and a major Mexican drug lord may have been trafficking in more than drugs. Yadin needs Bourne to investigate. Bourne agrees, but only because he has a personal agenda: Ouyang Jidan is the man who ordered Rebeka—one of the only people Bourne has ever truly cared about—murdered. Bourne is determined to avenge her death, but in the process he becomes enmeshed in a monstrous worldwide scheme involving the Chinese, Mexicans, and Russians. Bourne's desperate search for Ouyang takes him from Tel Aviv to Shanghai, Mexico City, and, ultimately, a village on China's coast where a clever trap has been laid for him. Bourne finds himself pursued on all sides and unsure whom he can trust.

Jason's adventure begins when Eden Mazar, an Israeli Mossad agent, is murdered by members of a Mexican drug cartel named Los Zetas. Following this, he is approached by Mossad director Eli Yadin, who invites Bourne to embark on a mission to find a connection between Eden Mazar's murder and the death of Rebeka, Bourne's love interest. Bourne goes to Shanghai, under an alias, but he later disposes of his disguise and pursues Ouyang's right-hand man, Colonel Sun. After finding out about this, Amir Ophir, another Israeli Mossad member, sends an assassin named Retzach to kill Bourne, but Bourne kills Retzach instead. Following this, Bourne goes on a wild goose chase for Ouyang, which comes to a head in Mexico City, where he encounters Maricruz, wife of Ouyang Jidan, who has been injured in an attack by a rival cartel in Mexico and is currently caring for a girl named Angel. Later, Colonel Sun appears at the hospital and, upon seeing Maricruz with Angel, begins verbally abusing and later threatening Angel. Bourne, disguised as a doctor, intervenes and fights Sun, who is ultimately killed by Angel. Following this, Bourne escapes with Maricruz and Angel, and later drops them off at the house of Anunciata, a friend of Bourne whom he rescued in the previous novel. Bourne is later framed for bombing the SUV of a cartel leader named Carlos Danda Carlos, and eventually falls victim to an attempted murder by Ophir, whom Bourne eliminates. Later, he buys a flamethrower from an arms dealer named J.J. Hale, which he later uses to kill Carlos Danda Carlos. Following this, Bourne leaves Mexico and goes to China, where he teams up with a Russian FSB agent named Leonid. Disguised as a member of Ouyang's staff, Bourne infiltrates Ouyang's estate, but his cover is blown and he is eventually captured. After a tense interrogation session, Bourne breaks free, then engages in a fight against Ouyang, who attacks Bourne with a sword. Bourne ultimately kills Ouyang, fulfilling his vengeance against the Chinese Politburo member. Later, Jason returns to Israel, where he is surprised to see Rebeka (her real name is revealed to be Sara Yadin) alive and well, later learning that Eli Yadin had a plan involving Rebeka faking her death following her grievous injury inflicted upon her in the previous novel, and later using Bourne to wreak his retribution against Ouyang on Yadin's behalf. The novel ends with Bourne kissing Sara\Rebeka in the hospital.

Young Yuri Volin has to make a difficult choice between staying with his rich, overprotective grandmother and departing to Germany with his financially struggling father. Yuri is passionately in love with one of his two cousins, Lyubov, who loves him too.

The scheming housemaid Darya has her own recipe for making the boy stay at home and spreads some vile rumours about him. Yuri's uncle finds out about his feelings and is outraged with the idea of two cousins being in love. As a result of Darya's machinations, the father curses Yuri, whom he believes to be treacherous and ungrateful. Yuri witnesses Lyubov's clandestine conversation with Zarutsky and mistakenly construes it as a sign of her infidelity. He first challenges his hussar friend to a duel, then commits suicide.

Vysogota, an elderly philosopher living alone in the Pereplut swamp, comes upon an injured Ciri near his retreat and takes her in, caring for her until she is ready to continue her journey. During her recovery, Ciri recounts the events of the last few months.

Ciri (I)

Ciri was initially content with her life among "the Rats", a gang of young outlaws, but was upset to hear from a tattooist that a "princess" with her name was supposedly captured in the sack of Cintra and has been presented in Nilfgaard as the intended bride of the Emperor. Ciri decides to return home, reclaim her birthright and expose the Emperor's lie, but changes her mind when she hears that the Rats are being tracked by a notorious bounty hunter. She rushes back to the village only to see the bounty hunter, Leo Bonhart, slaughter her friends, including her lover, Mistle. Ciri tries to fight Bonhart, but he defeats and captures her.

Nilfgaard's spymaster, Vattier de Rideaux, wants Ciri captured alive, but the Imperial coroner, Stefan Skellen, secretly hired Bonhart to kill her. Instead of doing so, Bonhart takes her to his merchant cousin, Houvenaghel, who manages a gladiatorial arena. Ciri is forced to fight for her life, thus confirming for Bonhart her identity and her training as a witcher.

Geralt

Having inadvertently saved the life of Queen Meve of Rivia in the previous novel, Geralt and his party – the bard Dandelion, Milva the archer, higher vampire Regis, and the former Nilfgaardian soldier, Cahir – continue to travel with her army, but Geralt is impatient to find a group of druids whom he believes can locate Ciri. During their journey, they learn that a bounty has been placed on their heads by a mysterious half-elf and a group of criminals led by a man named Nightingale. Partnering up with a former member of this group, a young woman named Angoulême who resembles Ciri, they intend to spring the bandits' trap and question them for information on who hired them (though Geralt already suspects it is the sorcerer Vilgefortz).

On their way to find Nightingale, they stumble upon the half-elf instead, a brigand named Schirrú, and attempt to question him. He sees through their ruse and a fight breaks out, in which Cahir is injured, forcing him and Geralt into hiding. During this time, Geralt and Cahir make peace with one another. They reunite with the rest of their party and learn that the others have made their way into the territory of Toussaint, where the druids have also travelled. They attempt to locate the criminals, but are captured instead by the druids, who kill the criminals before Geralt can question them. In the process, Geralt loses his witcher medallion, but declares it no longer matters, as he is not a witcher anymore.

During this time, Geralt also meets with an elven sage known as Avallac'h, who talks to him about Ithlinne's prophecy of the end of the world. Avallac'h tells Geralt that he must not seek out Ciri, since what is predestined will happen, whatever he does, and that it is not necessary for him to continue searching for her because there is already another person helping Ciri. Geralt remains committed to finding Ciri nonetheless.

Yennefer

The kingdom of Redania's spymaster, Sigismund Dijkstra, travels to the neutral and extremely rich nation of Kovir, seeking financing to rebuild Redania's army in anticipation of a massive Nilfgaardian invasion. He discovers that the magicians of the newly-formed Sorceress' Lodge have already begun their plan to establish Kovir as a nation sympathetic to magic, under their control. A number of powerful sorceresses – including the Nilfgaardians Assire var Anahid and Fringilla Vigo, and the Northern sorceress Sheala de Tancareville, under the leadership of Phillipa Eilhart – gather information on the movements and plans of various nations, and begin to set their own plans in motion. Triss Merigold, technically allied with the Lodge but privately questioning its motives, searches for information on Yennefer of Vengerberg, who is widely believed to be dead, after the events of the previous novel.

It is revealed that Yennefer survived her escape from the Lodge and took refuge in Skellige, requesting aid from the jarl, Crach an Craite, with whom she has a romantic past, and who knew Ciri in her youth. Crach aids her out of loyalty, and Yennefer gains the help of the Priestesses of Freya, led by the faithful Sigrdrifa, in order to gather information on Vilgefortz's plans and attempt to find him. During her time here, she has a vision of Ragh Nar Roog, the end of the world, and is urged by what appears to be the mythical Modron Freya to choose a side. She ultimately learns that Vilgefortz may have teleported into a dangerous part of the sea beyond Skellige, and travels there, where she is apparently consumed in a maelstrom, the ship accompanying her destroyed. Yennefer awakens a prisoner of Vilgefortz, who tortures her to locate Ciri through their empathic connection. She refuses to break, but allows him to locate Geralt in the hopes that Geralt will defeat Schirrú and learn her location. Vilgefortz dispatches Schirru to kill Geralt, explaining the earlier ambush.

Ciri (II)

Back in Vysogota's lodge, Ciri concludes her story, including the tale of her escape. Her account is intercut with an official inquest in Nilfgaard, as a psychic named Kenna is interrogated for charges of treason:

After several months in the arena, Bonhart brings her to be viewed by Stefan Skellen, who has come with his own band to find and kill her. With Kenna's help, Skellen's group learn they are being stalked. Skellen, Rience, and Bonhart meet together, with Rience carrying a magical device that allows Vilgefortz to communicate with them from afar. Vilgefortz shrewdly guesses that Skellen is secretly working for a number of disaffected Nilfgaardian nobles, who are angry at their daughters being rejected as the Emperor's bride in favor of the fake Ciri. Skellen admits that he is working with these nobles, but only because he himself believes that the Emperor must be overthrown in order to convert Nilfgaard into a democracy – a notion that both Bonhart and Vilgefortz find hilarious.

Skellen, Rience and Bonhart each want Ciri for their own ends, but before they can reach an agreement, Ciri is freed by a traitor in Skellen's group, and has her magical capabilities restored – muted since her time in the Korath desert – when Kenna attempts to read her mind. Using her powers, Ciri manages to grab her sword, mount her horse, and escape, but not before Skellen wounds her face with a throwing star, giving her the scar she bore when Vysogota found her. Vysogota then reveals that a travelling peasant told him that there are agents of Skellen waiting in ambush in nearby towns, and Ciri leaves the old philosopher's hideout. Soon thereafter, Vysogota dies from a heart attack in his shack, praying to the gods to protect Ciri on the road.

With a pair of ice skates borrowed from Vysogota's shack (formerly belonging to his daughter), Ciri lures her pursuers onto a frozen lake, then strikes out of the fog. Skellen's band panics and scatters, while Rience is tipped into a hole in the ice and drowns in the freezing water. Bonhart hangs back on the shore of the lake, expecting to capture Ciri when she regains dry land, but to his mingled fury and terror, the mythical Tower of the Swallow appears out of the fog and Ciri enters, transporting her to an alternate reality whose elf-like inhabitants say they have been expecting her.

Frame story (I)

Sir Galahad, King Arthur's knight, stumbles upon Ciri bathing, mistaking her for The Lady of the Lake. After correcting him, Ciri recounts her story, but warns him it does not have a happy ending. By way of example, she confesses to Galahad that the blood staining her clothes came from friends who died in her arms after she failed to save them.

Frame story (II)

Years after the events of the main story, a young sorceress, Condwiramurs, is apprenticed to Nimue, the (true) Lady of the Lake, to study the legend of Geralt and Ciri. Condwiramurs's magical talent is clairvoyant dreams, which are stimulated by studying the paintings and other images of the semi-mythic story.

Yennefer

Stefan Skellen, the coroner of Nilfgaard, is working with the sorcerer Vilgefortz, who has imprisoned the sorceress Yennefer (Geralt's lover and Ciri's foster mother) in some unknown castle.

Geralt

Geralt and his company - Dandelion, Regis, Milva, Angoulême, and Cahir - have been relaxing in the small duchy of Toussaint, while Geralt is distracted by monster-hunting contracts and by a passionate affair with the Duchess's court sorceress, Fringilla Vigo. Fringilla is secretly a member of the newly-formed Lodge of Sorceresses, which wishes both to take its own revenge on Vilgefortz and capture Ciri for their own political ends, and thus have ordered Fringilla to prevent Geralt from seeking either of them out. Geralt is spurred into action when his latest contract takes him into a cave being used for a secret meeting between Skellen and several rebellious Nilfgaardian nobles, plotting the Emperor's overthrow. Overhearing Vilgefortz's location from Skellen, Geralt rushes back to his party and orders them to prepare to leave immediately. Unable to prevent him leaving, Fringilla seduces Geralt one last time to learn the location, which she passes on triumphantly to the Lodge. The Sorceresses teleport their own strike force to the location, only to find an abandoned castle. Fringilla's superiors acidly inform her that her powers of seduction were not so great as to make Geralt tell her the true location, since he is determined to reach Vilgefortz and Ciri first.

Dandelion, enjoying the company of his lover, the Duchess Anna Henrietta, decided to stay in Toussaint and not join the rest of the group in their rescue mission.

Ciri

After escaping from Skellen and the bounty hunter Leo Bonhart (in the previous novel), Ciri was teleported to a foreign world, Aen Elle, which appears to be ruled by elves, who live in peace except for occasional fights with the unicorns. A magical barrier prevents her from leaving, and she complains about being kept prisoner, but she is told by the sage Avallac'h that in order to leave she must first bear the child of their king, Auberon. Avallac'h also explains that Ciri not only has elven blood, but she possesses a rare gene specifically engineered by the elves that will ensure her child is the most potent magic-user in history, a power that will be necessary to save the world - including Ciri's home and the people she cares about - from an impending cataclysm. Despite her reluctance, Ciri agrees, but Auberon is unexpectedly unable to perform, even after several nights.

Ciri confronts Avallac'h, demanding to be released if Auberon is unable or unwilling to fulfill his role in the agreement. Avallac'h urges her to be patient, reassuring her that time passes differently in Aen Aelle, and no matter how long it takes for her to bear the child, once she has done so, she will be returned to her own time. By contrast, Eredin Breacc Glas, the commander of a cavalry unit that guards the kingdom from unicorns, tells Ciri that she will never be free of their world; if the king fails to impregnate her, then someone else will.

After the king's latest failure, Ciri rides her horse, Kelpie, as far as she can from the castle, but the barrier prevents her from escaping. But she is confronted by several unicorns, one of whom, Ihuarraquax, she saved from death (in ''The Time of Contempt''). The unicorns then reveal how she can bypass the barrier, and she asks that Ihuarraquax come with her.

Before leaving, she concedes that Auberon has been kind to her in spite of her situation, and returns to the castle to say goodbye to him. She finds him dying after drinking a phial of liquid given to him by Eredin as an aphrodisiac (it is left open to interpretation whether Eredin deliberately poisoned the king, or whether the king overdosed on the otherwise harmless substance). Ciri stays with Auberon until he dies, then steals a boat for herself and Kelpie, which is revealed to be the only way to pass the barrier. She is confronted by Eredin, enraged by her attempt to escape. A brief battle ensues, in which she injures Eredin and escapes to join Ihuarraquax and other unicorns waiting for her. Eredin and his riders chase her, and a battle between the Dearg Ruadhri (Eredin's Red Riders) and the unicorns ensues. Ciri, in the midst of chaos, teleports out of the world with the assistance of Ihuarraquax. After jumping between several worlds and times, she eventually appears before Nimue and Condwiramurs, who wish her luck on her journey and provide a portal to the right place and time.

Jarre and Rusty

The decisive battle of Brenna between the allied Northern Kingdoms and the invading army of Nilfgaard is narrated from various points of view, primarily by Jarre, Melitele's temple scribe assigned to a unit derisively called the PFI ("Poor F**king Infantry"), and "Rusty", a halfling field surgeon treating the wounded from both sides. The battle lasts several hours, with neither side gaining a clear advantage, until Elven units, led by Yaevinn, attack the flanks of the Northern army, going so far as to slaughter the injured in the field hospitals. As the Northern army starts to rout, a contingent of Redanian Forces charge over a hill the Nilfgaardians failed to scout beforehand. This causes panic amongst the Nilfgaardian forces, which soon are slaughtered. The Nilfgaardians' field marshal, Coehoorn, is killed while attempting to retreat by Zoltan Chivay's company. Nilfgaard is forced to retreat back across its original border south of the Yaruga river, and sue for peace.

Rusty dies a few months later while treating the victims of an outbreak of haemorrhagic fever, while Jarre, despite losing a hand in the battle, writes his memoirs in his old age.

Climax

Ciri arrives at Vilgefortz's castle, offering to trade herself for Yennefer's freedom. Vilgefortz ignores this and imprisons her anyway. As he is planning to inseminate her to produce the prophesied magic user, Geralt and his group storm the castle. In the ensuing battle, Yennefer is freed, but Geralt's companions Milva and Angoulême are killed by the castle's mercenary guards, and Cahir is killed by Bonhart, who is himself killed by Ciri in a duel. She takes back the three medallions that Bonhart claims to have taken from witchers he killed. When Geralt, Yennefer, and Regis confront Vilgefortz, Regis is killed, but Geralt kills Vilgefortz, partly due to a magical illusion created by an amulet gifted to him by Fringilla. Geralt and Yennefer, the only survivors, finally find Ciri.

Aftermath

When they reach the courtyard, a Nilfgaardian force is occupying the castle, led by Emperor Emhyr in person. Skellen is placed under arrest and sent back to Nilfgaard to be tried for treason. Emhyr is revealed to be Ciri's father (who courted her mother, Pavetta, under the name '''Duny''' in "A Question of Price"), who faked his death years ago. Believing that Ciri's prophesied child is vital to saving the world, Emhyr plans to impregnate his own daughter, and make her empress to ensure her child is born safe and healthy.

After a long conversation with Emhyr, Geralt understands that he and Yennefer will be condemned to death to keep them silent. As a courtesy, Emhyr grants them the option of committing suicide together. As they prepare to do so, Ciri enters the room, saying that the Emperor and his men left. Ciri tried to be brave, but broke down in tears at the thought of never seeing Geralt and Yennefer again, and the sight unexpectedly moved Emhyr to change his mind, acknowledging Ciri as his daughter and bidding her farewell.

Ciri leads Geralt and Yennefer through the locations of all her earlier adventures, either to pay respects to those who helped her, or to punish those who hurt her. Yennefer is summoned to Montecalvo Castle to report to the Lodge, knowing she will have to summon Ciri as well in a few days.

Geralt takes Ciri to Toussaint, arriving just in time to watch Dandelion face his execution. Dandelion is saved at the last moment when his lover, Duchess Anna Henrietta, changes her mind (Dandelion later confides that this was not the first execution he was spared from at the last moment, because of Anna's jealous but flightly nature). The trio departs Toussaint in a hurry, after which Ciri departs to Montecalvo while Geralt and Dandelion head to Rivia.

The Lodge of Sorceresses meets Ciri for the first time, revealing their plans to marry her off to Prince Tankred, the Kovirian heir. Since news has come that Emperor Emhyr has returned to Nilfgaard and married the "false Ciri" (apparently having genuinely fallen in love with her), there is too much confusion for the real Ciri to retain her royal title or lay claim to the Cintran throne; the Lodge says they cannot even guarantee that Prince Tankred will marry her, and may just keep her as his concubine, for the purposes of bearing the prophesied child.

Ciri, grown tired of all the plots to determine her destiny, agrees to think about it and return to the Lodge after she discusses the matter with Geralt. She then asks to go with Yennefer and meet Geralt in Rivia, as planned. The Lodge votes (half against and half for), with Phillipa having the decisive vote in favor of letting Ciri go and see Geralt, arguing it's Ciri's destiny, thus tipping the scales.

During Geralt's time in Rivia, meeting with his old friends Yarpen Zigren and Zoltan Chivay, a riot erupts, in which humans are killing non-humans indiscriminately. Geralt, in order to defend his dwarven friends, enters the fray and kills several individuals before being impaled on a pitchfork. Ciri, Yennefer, and Triss Merigold arrive in Rivia shortly after the rioting starts, and they eventually find Geralt on the verge of death. Before doing so, the mob attacks and knocks Yennefer unconscious. She is awoken to kind Triss has finally overcome the fear that has plagued her since Sodden Hill. With Yennefer's help, the two sorceresses manage to conjure up a spell that causes a brief storm, in which large hailstones drop from the sky, dispersing the rioting mob. Yennefer, in an attempt to heal Geralt, loses consciousness.

Ihuarraquax the unicorn, who seemingly had sacrificed himself to save Ciri previously, appears running on the surface of the lake and channels his power through Ciri to apparently heal Geralt. Guided by the unicorn, Ciri then asks her friends to help her put the bodies of the two, Geralt and Yennefer, on a boat that appeared from nowhere out of fog. While Triss, Dandelion, and their dwarven friends say their goodbyes, Ciri takes off into the lake and the three disappear into the fog. Geralt and Yennefer awake in peace in an unknown location, (hinted to be the isle of Avalon due to the apples from the Arthurian Legends) comforting each other without knowing where they are.

Ciri finishes recounting her tale to Galahad, who has been listening intently the entire time. When Galahad asks if that "is the end of the story"? Ciri says that she doesn't want the story to end like that, and says the tale ends with Yennefer and Geralt getting married, and that a celebration ensued between all the different dead and living characters of the saga and they live happily ever after. Ciri starts crying when finishing her story like a fairy tale. Galahad eventually invites her to Camelot, which she accepts. They both are shown to be attracted to each other. The saga ends with Ciri and Galahad riding side by side, holding hands.

The story begins by introducing the Cheeseman family: the scientist Mr. Ethan Cheeseman, his wife Olivia, three 'attractive, witty, and relatively odor-free' children and the family pets; a psychic dog named Pinky, and Steve, a talking sock puppet.

Ethan and his wife are about to complete a time machine, and two top-secret agents show up to steal it. Initially, the antagonists use diplomacy, claiming that they need the invention for "the greater good". Their motives are suspect, and Olivia, realizing this, refuses. Shortly thereafter, Olivia contacts a mysterious illness and dies.

The family initially grieves but not for long. They are being targeted and followed.by many people. The agents are revealed as employees for a weapons developer. Ethan plans to travel back in time, reunite with his wife, and escape pursuit; but the time machine isn't working. He, his family, and the machine take to the road in a station wagon.

Pursued by the incompetent but determined agents, the Cheeseman family is forced to flee repeatedly. During their travels they encounter a number of other wanderers.

Recurring gags

The story has many recurring gags; for example, Dr. Soup's end-of-chapter 'unsolicited' advice. The Cheeseman kids also rename themselves with every move, with humorous results.

Hearing noises outside their home during a family dinner, Jim Bronson orders his wife Maggie to go outside and take a look. Maggie finds their dog dead before being attacked and killed. The intruders sneak into the house and kill Jim before going upstairs and assaulting Jim and Maggie’s daughter Mary.

Cory Morgan drives his new wife Sarah and his seven-year-old son Liam to their secluded vacation house in a remote area. Still grieving over the death of his birth mother, Liam treats Sarah coldly. Cory tries speaking with his son about accepting Sarah as part of their family.

The Morgans find plates of rotten food and used linens in their home. Realizing that squatters were living there, they call Officer Hawkings to the scene. Hawkings explains that there is nothing he can do about a breaking and entering, but he provides his card to make Sarah feel safer about staying in the house.

Sarah and Cory hear strange noises during the night and discover that Liam is missing when they go to investigate. Sarah steps on a nail while searching outside and injures her foot. They find Officer Hawkings tied up in his patrol car before it suddenly explodes, with a mouse masked stranger watching the flames. Because she is injured, Cory is forced to leave Sarah at the house while he goes to the nearby Bronson home for help. Cory discovers the murder scene in the Bronson house before being attacked by the mouse masked and a rabbit masked stranger, and knocked unconscious.

The intruders wear masks cut from Liam’s large stuffed animals, which identify them as Mr. Mouse, Pig Lady, Little Rabbit, and Little Monkey. When Cory wakes, Mr. Mouse tortures him with a car battery. Mr. Mouse produces Liam and forces Cory to tell his son that he does not love him. Liam is emotionally devastated, screaming while Little Rabbit drags him away. Mr. Mouse exclaims "He is part of our family now". He then duct tapes a plastic bag over Cory’s head and leaves him to suffocate.

Back at the Morgan house, Sarah is pursued by Pig Lady. Sarah eventually escapes and is able to drown Pig Lady in a forest creek following a struggle.

Cory manages to break free of his restraints. He finds Liam and reassures his son that he only said horrible things because of the torture. Little Monkey interrupts their reunion by confronting Cory with a pitchfork. Cory unmasks Little Monkey and discovers that she is actually a brainwashed Mary Bronson. He knocks her out and escapes into the forest with Liam.

Mr. Mouse captures Sarah. Cory hears her screams and tells Liam to wait while he returns to rescue his wife. Sarah electrocutes Mr. Mouse with the car battery and flees outside with Cory.

Little Rabbit emerges with a rifle and fatally shoots Cory. Sarah finds Liam and runs with him through the trees while Little Rabbit fires his gun in pursuit. Little Rabbit finds Liam and hesitates to shoot him. Sarah appears and tells the killer to pull the trigger on her instead, Little Rabbit does this but the gun is empty. Following another struggle, Sarah ultimately subdues Little Rabbit.

After processing the crime scene, a police officer takes Mary Bronson away in a squad car while an ambulance takes Little Rabbit. When her windshield is damaged, the police officer stops her car and is beaten to death with a rock by Mr. Mouse. Mr. Mouse retrieves his mask from an evidence bag and gets behind the wheel as Mary expresses that she knew he would come for her, he replies with 'We must find you a new mother' (implying Pig Lady was going to be her "new" mother). Mary asks about the father. He replies with 'The father will be coming'. Meanwhile, Little Rabbit unshackles himself from the gurney, unmasks himself and grabs a scalpel as he prepares to murder the ambulance driver.

In the Great Change of 1971, a virus infects humanity that causes everyone to grow fur all over their bodies. Initial reaction to the plague, dubbed "hyperpilosity" by the news media, is one of panic and horror. Various examples of the troubles resulting are told; the cast of the latest Tarzan movie, for instance, is reduced to frequent all-over shaving to be able to continue filming. There is a run on depilatory products. An immense financial reward is offered to whoever can identify the condition's cause and develop a cure. Against the playing out of plague-fueled societal crisis and change, protagonist Pat Weiss relates how he and his employer, virology professor Oliveira, strive and ultimately succeed in doing just this. Alas for their dreams of riches; by the time their work is complete, mankind has become accustomed to the new state of things and moved on; those who end up profiting are not the scientists but purveyors of currycombs and such.

Following The Governor's (David Morrissey) deadly assault on the prison, the survivors are forced to scatter and try to regroup. Michonne (Danai Gurira) reconnoiters the prison for survivors. She discovers the reanimated head of her friend, Hershel (Scott Wilson), and stabs it to put him out of his torment. She discovers a trail of footprints leading away from the prison. To protect herself, she slices off the arms and jaws of two walkers, leading them pet-like to help mask her presence from other walkers, however this appears to draw more walkers towards her. While taking shelter in a car overnight, she dreams of her young son, her boyfriend Mike (Aldis Hodge), and his friend Terry (Brandon Fobbs) before the apocalypse, but the dream turns into a nightmare when Mike and Terry appear like her walker 'pets'. She continues onward, but on observing a walker that looks similar to herself, suddenly comes to the realization that her mindless walking is for naught; she slaughters the walkers that surround her and her pets, and vows to Mike that she now has a purpose in life. She sets off to follow the trail of footprints.

Meanwhile, Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln), whose footprints Michonne is following, work their way from the prison, Rick slowing them down due to injuries he got from the attack. They stop at a diner to find food; a lone walker is barricaded behind furniture and Rick wants to kill it using an axe but is too weak, forcing Carl to kill it with his gun. Later, Carl helps his father into an abandoned house, and Rick falls unconscious. Carl shouts at him to revive him, attracting nearby walkers. Carl is able to dispatch them, and when he returns, yells at Rick, blaming him for abandoning his leadership role, hurting himself, his mother Lori, his newborn sibling Judith, and the others of his group at the prison. Later, Carl goes to search for supplies in a nearby house. He nearly is bitten by a walker trapped behind one door, but is able to escape when the walker pulls off his boot. He recovers additional food and supplies, and returns to the house where Rick is. He sees Rick crawling towards him and moaning, and fearing his father has become a walker, turns his gun on him. Rick calls out Carl's name, proving he is still alive. Rick sees what Carl has done to protect and sustain them, and apologizes for his behavior, and believes Carl is now a man.

Michonne eventually catches up to the pair and after observing through a window that they are alive and well, begins to cry tears of joy. As Rick and Carl bond over a meal, there is a knock at the door. Rick goes to look through the peephole, and on seeing Michonne, laughs and tells Carl, "It's for you."

Shaw plays a small town girl on her rise to stardom as a night club singer who is nevertheless not as fortunate with love. Pianist Tommy falls for her, even though he suspects she's in love with her manager Lucky. Lucky claims he doesn't want to get married, but is in fact in love with socialite Iris, who brings him into her circle of rich snobs, including her brother, a hot-tempered drunk with a huge gambling problem.

A playboy writer gets involved in a plot to kidnap a scientist and take him to Red China.

The saga begins in the Russian Empire in 1805. When Pierre (Paul Dano), Natasha (Lily James) and Andrei (James Norton) are first introduced to viewers, their youthful ambition, despite their privileged circumstances, is to find meaning in their lives. Kind-hearted but awkward Pierre, the illegitimate son of Russia's richest man, wants to change the world for the better. The spirited Natasha is searching for true love, while handsome and gallant Andrei, frustrated with the superficiality of society, seeks a higher purpose.

At the same time, the French army under Napoleon edges ever closer to Russia's borders. Natasha's older brother Nikolai (Jack Lowden) joins the Imperial Russian Army immediately and matures during the war against Napoleon. Like Pierre, Natasha and Andrei, he also experiences romantic vicissitudes: despite his childhood love for his cousin Sonya (Aisling Loftus), his impoverished parents insist he marry a rich bride like the superficial Julie Karagina or the religious Marya Bolkonskaya (Jessie Buckley).

Having begun with Napoleon's military campaign against Russia and Austria in 1805, the story concludes in 1812 after Napoleon's invasion of Russia has failed and he has retreated and withdrawn from Russian territory. The families at the centre of the saga have undergone major changes and lost members, but those remaining have experienced a transformation and a new life, with new growth and new families started.

Rajesh Bauji (Sanjay Mishra) is a man in his late 50s, living a dreary but eventful life in a small house in old Delhi with his extended family. The movie starts with Babuji narrating his dream where he sees himself flying like a bird free from all the worldly affairs. A random incident is going to change his life in a dramatic way, though he does not realise it at the moment. Bauji's daughter has been seeing a boy of ill repute. When that fact is revealed to the family, after much deliberation they decide to lock up the girl and go beat the wilful boy.

When they confront the boy, to Babuji he seems like a very nice person. This event radically changes his life — he decides that he will believe only what he can see, hence the title Ankhon Dekhi. After a while he refuses to worship god and treats prasad (offerings) as just another sweet. He is working as a travel agent and refuses to book tickets to Amsterdam as he has never seen Amsterdam. To uphold his ideals, he quits his job. He resorts to a very idealistic mode and takes things to extreme levels to explore his theory. At first his neighbours consider him a lunatic old man, but over time they start admiring his logical reasoning and start following him.

Once while intervening in a petty loan issue with a loan shark, he refuses to believe the bad reputation of the shark. He concludes that he is a good person, based on his observation. He forms a rapport with the loan shark and is recruited by him in his illegal gambling den. His followers join.

He gives consent to his daughter's marriage to the boy she loves and almost sorts out the emotional issues with his estranged brother.

Now free from all responsibility, he leads a life where there are almost no blind spots and a lot of clarity. He takes his wife for a vacation.

While chatting he narrates to his wife that he feels very light, like a bird flying in free skies. His wife jokes about his experience, inadvertently challenging his own theory that he doesn't know how a bird actually flies. In the middle of the night he walks towards a cliff. Babuji narrates his dream (as in the beginning of the story). He has yet to experience flying. As the film ends, Bauji is seen flying down a cliff.

A gay archaeologist marries partly in hope of curbing his homosexual instincts. He is unable to consummate the marriage so the pair travel from Normandy to Algeria for a honeymoon, hoping that will kindle some romance. The husband is seduced by their Arab houseboy, but this allows him to sleep with his wife, who falls pregnant.

Surly Squirrel is now loved by Liberty Park's urban wildlife community and oversees an all-you-can-eat buffet at Maury's Nut Shop, (now renamed Nibbler's Nut Shop). This worries Andie, as she has a more hard-working outlook on life than Surly. Mole accidentally blows up the nut shop after he forgets to reduce pressure from the boiler. Andie suggests returning to their roots by foraging for food in Liberty Park as Surly and Buddy fail to find other food-packed places. Defeated, he and Buddy return to the park.

Concerned that Liberty Park never makes money, Percival J. Muldoon, the unscrupulous Mayor of Oakton City, decides to turn it into an amusement park named Libertyland. Surly and Andie discover Muldoon's plot, and Surly convinces the animals to sabotage the construction workers' efforts to tear down the park.

Surly's enjoyment is short-lived; Andie attempts to convince the animals to work hard for food, which Surly believes can result in disappointment. When the construction workers' foreman tells Muldoon about the animal attacks, he calls an animal extermination squad led by Gunther. Surly becomes caught in one of Gunther's traps, and the animals are pursued by Muldoon's dog, Frankie, who later falls in love with Precious. Surly and Buddy leave to rescue her while the others find a new park.

While searching for Muldoon's car, Surly and Buddy run afoul of a colony of territorial white mice led by Mr. Feng. They evade the mice and find Muldoon's mansion, where they find Precious in the bedroom of Muldoon's bratty daughter, Heather. Precious tells Frankie she is uninterested in him, breaking his heart. Surly's recklessness causes Muldoon to shoot Buddy, who falls off a balcony and falls unconscious. Andie, Jimmy, Johnny, and Jamie find what seems to be a suitable park, but it turns out to be a golf course that almost gets them killed. The brothers having multiple injuries while Andie had to resuscitate Jamie with CPR and even defibrillation with some wires.

Surly, Precious, and Buddy reunite with the others in the nut shop's remains. While mourning Buddy, Surly recounts how they saved each other as kids; Buddy wakes up after Precious licks him. Surly leads the animals in retaking the park from Muldoon during Libertyland's grand opening. Muldoon calls Gunther and his team over to capture them. Surly, the only one left standing, goes to Mr. Feng and his army. While attacking Surly, the latter convinces Feng the animals must work together regardless of whether they are from the city or a park.

Surly and the mice free the other animals and round them up to take back Liberty Park. They overwhelm the humans, destroy all of the rides, and attract the attention of the police. Precious finds Frankie, apologizes, and confesses she does care for him, causing Frankie to fall in love with her again. After the pair make up, Heather tries to convince Gunther to tranquilize them. But due to the interference of Surly, Andie and Buddy, Gunther shoots Heather, knocking her out while he runs away. Muldoon tries to escape the chaos using a hot air balloon, but Surly and Buddy commandeer a roller coaster to catch up to him. Surly makes it on top of the balloon, and he and Muldoon engage in a long battle. Muldoon falls on top of a bouncy house and is attacked by Feng and his colony. Muldoon, Heather, and Gunther are arrested for their crimes, and Libertyland is shut down for good.

Several months later, the people help rebuild Liberty Park to its former glory. After the park is rebuilt, Feng and his colony stay and focus on Tai Chi; Precious and Frankie have puppies; and Surly takes Andie on a ride with Precious to rob a nut cart.

Series 1

Jonkhere, a small private bank in Brussels, is robbed and 66 safe deposit boxes belonging to a number of the most prominent public figures in Belgium are cleaned out. The owners want to keep the thefts under wraps, presumably to avoid scandal. Police Inspector Paul Gerardi (Filip Peeters) carries out the investigation. He discovers the connection; that the victims are members of a secret organisation called Salamander. This is a cabal of the country's industrial, financial, judicial and political elite; the safe-deposit boxes contained secrets as far back as World War II. Gerardi becomes the target of both the criminals and the authorities.

Series 2

Chief Inspector Gerardi opens an investigation after political refugee Léon Tchité is murdered. He becomes entangled in a blood diamonds network.

''Ajin'' presents the story of a student named Nagai Kei, who discovers he is an "Ajin" when he is fatally wounded in a traffic accident. In the world of ''Ajin'', a small number of humans (termed "Ajin") possess immortality and extreme regenerative abilities that trigger upon death, allowing them to completely recover from any mortal injury in a matter of seconds. Ajin can also create "black ghosts", highly dangerous combat-oriented entities that are only visible to other Ajin. "Black ghosts" are resistant to physical injury, exhibit extraordinary physical strength, and have sharp teeth and claws. Different "black ghosts" have varying degrees of intelligence: most are completely reliant on their Ajin for directions, and others, such as Kei's, are more independent and likely to engage in self-initiated actions.

Consequently, Ajin are considered dangerous and inhuman by the public, and most are captured by governments. Governments claim to protect Ajin, but in reality, most use them as subjects for cruel and inhumane experiments, as their abilities to completely recover from fatal wounds provides an unlimited source of organs and bodies in dangerous tests (such as live-fire weapons testing). As a result, Ajin that have escaped from government custody (such as Satou, the main antagonist) are bent on exacting revenge from governments. Kei, however, wants no part in the emerging Ajin-human conflict, but forms an agreement with Japanese governmental agents to fight against Satou in exchange for his freedom from government experimentation.

In a garden, a wind-up toy truck labelled under ACME Moving Co. pulls up to a mousehole door and two moving mice move the contents of the van into the hole. Afterwards, a young girl mouse and her parents move in. The girl mouse soon sees a boy mouse driving a motorized hot rod toy into his garage and walking up to his own mousehole. When he sees her, the boy mouse instantly falls head over heels in love. He quickly empties his sugar bowl of the one sugar cube in it and takes the empty bowl over to the girl mouse's home. However, Claude Cat sees him and tries to eat the boy mouse, but he escapes back to his mousehole. Claude tries to grab him but ends up getting his hand caught in a mousetrap.

Later on, the boy mouse tries using a pipeline to sneak past Claude but the cat takes a doll house front door, puts it over his own mouth and places himself at the end of the pipeline. The mouse, with an empty jug in hand, unknowingly enters and travels down into Claude's stomach where he lights a match. The flame causes Claude to jump in pain and the mouse to escape simultaneously.

Later, Claude observes the two lovers and gets an idea to entrap the boy mouse. Claude writes a fake letter to the boy mouse that reads "''Dear Mister Mouse, I am in my teens - sixteen months - and deemed not unattractive by my friends. Can you meet me at eight tonight under the garbage disposal? yours (?) Alice (the girl across the way)''" and sprays some perfume on it for good measure. Claude sends the fake letter to the boy mouse who, upon reading it, falls over in lust. By 7:55 pm, the boy mouse drives to the trash can in the kitchen where he meets what he thinks is the girl mouse but is really a puppet being used by Claude to ensnare him. Upon seeing Claude, the boy mouse escapes with the puppet and knocks Claude out with the trash can lid.

As the boy mouse sighs over both his failure and being deceived with the puppet, Claude writes another fake letter, this time sending it to the girl mouse's father. The letter itself delivers a warning apparently from the boy mouse that reads, "''Look you! I saw that apartment first, so get out - because I'm moving in!! The mouse across the way - P.S. or else!!''" The father mouse promptly grabs a revolver as if to say "we'll see about that!" while outside Claude puts out a sign that reads "Boarder Wanted" and gets the boy mouse's attention to it. Upon seeing it, the boy mouse packs his things and moves in. Claude positions himself so that he catches the fleeing boy mouse in his mouth, but his plan simultaneously succeeds when the boy mouse runs into his mouth and backfires when the father mouse shoots him in the face, allowing the boy mouse to escape.

Determined not to let Claude get the better of him again, the boy mouse writes a fake letter of his own and sends it to him. The letter this time reads, "''Dear Cat (Pal) I've decided to give up my evil ways and be nice to you. Yours in Friendship, The Dog - P.S. How's about coming over for a game of Canasta?''" Claude falls for it and gets a huge beating from Hector (here named Butcher) when he tries to go over to his kennel for a card game. Meanwhile, the two young mice, having gotten Claude out of the way, raid the fridge and sip on some soda as the cartoon ends (with a heart-shaped iris out).

Series 1

JS Motors, a car dealership in Warrington, employs a number of 'ordinary' people, each with dark secrets. As each episode unravels, it becomes clear how quickly lies can escalate with shocking consequences.

Series 2

Coopers Outdoors, a Sports Goods Company based in Cardiff, has a number of workers who each hold a dark secret. As each episode unfolds, and each characters story is revealed, it becomes clear just how fast secrets can be revealed and the shocking aftermaths that can follow.

Jim Bennett is an L.A. literature professor who uses gambling as a way of self-destruction. He ends up owing $200,000 to Lee, the proprietor of an exclusive, high-stakes underground gambling ring, and another $50,000 to Neville Baraka, a loan shark. Lee gives Jim seven days to pay off his debts or be murdered.

During one of his classes, Jim begins an awkward discussion of literary excellence using Shakespeare as an example, arguing how almost all aspiring writers fail to accomplish literary excellence. Jim singles out exemplary athletes in his class for discussion. First Dexter, an emerging tennis star; he later confronts a basketball student star, Lamar Allen, who pays no attention in class but intends to play in the NBA.

Jim expresses his extremist view on achieving excellence in one's field or vocation: if you can't be exemplary, he reasons, then you might as well not try. He tells them that only Amy Phillips, a quiet student, is capable of a career in literature. He identifies her as a potential writing prodigy based on her work in his class, as well as having previously encountered her working secretly as a waitress at the underground gambling house. They develop a mutual interest in each other.

After class, Jim visits his mother Roberta at the family's luxury estate, but she says that she will not give him any more money. Jim considers borrowing money from Frank (another loan shark) to consolidate his debts and buy himself some time, but refuses to do so when Frank first demands Jim admit “I am not a man”.

Jim convinces Roberta to give him enough to pay off his debts, expressing no gratitude, then gambles it all away in a casino with Amy. Baraka kidnaps Jim, has him tied-up and tortured, confronting him with an ultimatum—convince Lamar to win his college basketball semi-final by a margin of 7 points or less, or he will kill Amy.

Jim goes to Frank, who advises him to change his version of a "fuck you" attitude towards life by getting enough money to build a safe house and make reliable low yield investments, for protection against his severe gambling losses. Frank lends him $260,000 to pay his debt to Lee, but also threatens to kill everyone in Jim's personal life if he is not repaid. Lee's men assault Jim when he comes to ask Lee to stake him $150,000, saying the only way he can pay the full $410,000 debt to Lee and Frank is to gamble and win. He uses the $150,000 to bribe Lamar into doing the basketball point-shaving scheme. Jim sends Dexter to Las Vegas to bet on the game with the $260,000 he got from Frank. Lamar succeeds, so Jim uses his winnings to pay his debt to Baraka, denying he knows anything about the large bet made in Vegas.

Jim then convinces both Lee and Frank to meet him in a neutral gambling den, where he wagers enough money to pay both men off—if he wins—on a single roulette spin. Successful, he leaves the money at the club for Lee and Frank. The payment to Frank is more than he owed; Frank finds Jim and offers to give back the “cream” but, to Frank's amusement, Jim responds “Fuck you”. On an apparent adrenaline rush, Jim runs miles through the city to arrive at Amy's apartment; he is broke, but free from debt.

Annie (Alison Brie) gathers the group for the first Save Greendale committee, right before the midterms dance. She and Professor Hickey (Jonathan Banks) attempt to have a bulletin board installed, but are faced with Greendale's impenetrable bureaucracy. They attempt to set up a convoluted chain of quid pro quo deals with the head custodian (Nathan Fillion), the chief of IT (Paget Brewster), the head of parking (Robert Patrick), and the Dean (Jim Rash). Over the course of promising favors to each, Annie loses sight of their original purpose, until Hickey sets her straight and the scheme collapses. Eventually, Hickey donates his personal bulletin board and the Dean overrides the custodians' objections.

Meanwhile, Jeff (Joel McHale), Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), Chang (Ken Jeong), and Prof. Duncan (John Oliver) set the decorations for the dance. Chang suggests the theme "Bear Down For Midterms", which the others do not understand but reluctantly agree too. After all of the declarations are finished, Neil (Charley Koontz) enters and reacts negatively to the theme, since it makes light of a gruesome bear attack at a little boy’s birthday party in Wisconsin that was on the news earlier that day. Chang realizes that this was his subconscious inspiration for the theme. As a last resort, they change the bear theme to "Fat Dog For Midterms", insisting that the term "fat dog" is a real phrase which means to relax like a fat dog on a hot summer day. However, their ruse is discovered by Garrett, causing pandemonium.

Abed (Danny Pudi) spoils Britta's (Gillian Jacobs) recent favourite show, ''Bloodlines of Conquest,'' and in retaliation, she determines to spoil the books for him. He foils her efforts by wearing ear protection. This catches the eye of a red-headed deaf girl (Katie Leclerc). After Abed shows interest in her, even becoming conversant in ASL in only a day, it is revealed that Britta has bribed her to spoil the ending of ''Bloodlines of Conquest'' in sign language. Abed is devastated and storms out, only to reencounter Rachel (Brie Larson) the coat check girl; he apologizes for never calling her and invites her to dinner.

In the credits scene, Prof. Duncan tries to call Greendale Faculty Office Supplies for new staples, but accidentally directs himself to a military line and activates the "Arcadia Protocol". The sound of low-flying military jet aircraft is heard, and Duncan discovers that the staples were right in front of him.

Reclusive cop Dave Wong (Daniel Wu) unwittingly saves the life of criminal gang leader Hon Kong (Nick Cheung) by donating his blood to him. The gang members hide their faces behind traditional demon masks when committing their violent crimes. During psychotic episodes, Dave experiences his own demons within as he sets out to play off the gang members against each other, resulting in everyone's annihilation. It is then revealed that Dave was brought up by a high expressed emotion father in a socio-economically disadvantaged living environment. He witnessed his father's death inadvertently caused by the responsible policeman who resembled Hon Kong. As a young, innocent soul who had lost his father, he impulsively went on to take revenge, resulting in excessive guilt that predisposed the onset of psychosis later in his life. The event whereby he rescued Hon Kong reminded him of his suppressed memories as a child who had done wrong but trying the hardest to make reparation. Before his inevitable death, there was an opportunity for him to resolve his subconscious intrapersonal conflicts which was to have the courage to fix a mistake done.

Seventeen people board a Hong Kong minibus going from Mong Kok to Tai Po: driver Suet; Yau Tsi-chi and Yuki, who are visiting their respective dates; Fat, an aging gangster; Mook Sau-ying, a fortune-telling insurance salesperson; Shun, a computer technician; Pat and Bobby, a married couple; Blind Fai, a drug addict; Auyeung Wai, a music store salesperson; Lavina, a quiet, buck-toothed woman; Airplane and Glu-Stick, rowdy boys; and university students Tsing, Peter, Dawg, and Hung. As the minibus enters a tunnel, Fat notices the traffic seemingly disappear, and several other passengers remark upon how quiet the streets have become. The university students leave on the first stop, and one immediately becomes ill.

By the second stop, the passengers come to believe they are the only people remaining in Hong Kong. They propose various explanations, though Mook insists destiny has brought them together to experience a paranormal event. Before leaving, the passengers exchange phone numbers. Yau and Yuki leave together, and as Yuki talks about missing her boyfriend, Yau sees a man in a gas mask, though he keeps this from Yuki. After she leaves, Yau encounters the university students, all of whom have now become ill. They beg him for help as they melt before him. Yau swerves to avoid them on his bicycle as he speeds past, and the last remaining student curses him as he dies. Yau crosses the tunnel to return home but finds nobody there.

Each of the passengers receives a phone call comprising noises and mechanical screeches. They meet at a diner to discuss it, where Shun reveals he has performed audio analysis on it. He decodes English phrases that Auyeung recognizes as lyrics from David Bowie's song "Space Oddity". No one understands its significance, though Mook continues to insist on a paranormal interpretation. After each describes their background, Auyeung bursts into flames from the Explosion by his Electronics and dies. Spooked, Yau describes the man in a gas mask, though Yuki claims not to have been with him at the time. Yau spots another man in a gas mask, and he, Bobby, and Fat chase after the man.

Before catching him, they discover Lavina's body, surmising that she was raped before dying of a possibly-contagious illness. The man, revealed to be Japanese, claims through a mobile translation app to be there to save them and a former classmate of Yau's. Yau denies knowing him. As the Japanese man escapes, he says something about "fuku", which they speculate could be a reference to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Before returning with the others, Yau receives a phone call from his girlfriend, Yi, in which she claims he has disappeared for six years. The call ends abruptly as she makes oblique references to Major Tom and Tai Mo Shan.

Bobby suddenly dies shortly after Yau's return. Fat sends Suet to retrieve and refuel his bus upon learning of Yi's phone call. On the way, Suet is forced to kill a zombified Blind Fai with a cleaver. On Suet's return, Glu-Stick accuses Airplane of raping Lavina, who was an attractive thief in disguise. Glu-Stick says Lavina died mysteriously during her rape, but, undeterred by her death, Airplane continued assaulting her. Disgusted, the others discuss banishing Airplane, though Pat demands Airplane be killed for spreading Lavina's infection and causing Bobby's death. Yau reluctantly agrees, and each ritually stabs Airplane to death, except for Glu-Stick.

While Shun and Glu-Stick disposes of Airplane's body, Airplane suddenly revives. Shun argues his attack was the least vicious and offers to help Airplane get revenge on his killers. Airplane agrees, only to be killed again by Shun. As they board the minibus to go to Tai Mo Shan, the group sees more gas-masked people accompanied by armour. Two of the armour ram the minibus, but the damaged vehicle escapes and continues on its journey. After becoming annoyed with Glu-Stick, they briefly banish him before allowing him back in, along with Fai, who is inexplicably still alive. As they drive toward Tai Mo Shan, a red rain falls on the minibus, and several passengers experience regret at leaving the city.

After performing a set at her regular comedy club, Donna Stern is dumped in the bathroom by her boyfriend, Ryan, who confesses he is leaving her for one of her friends. Donna tailspins into a wave of depression and later drunkenly delivers a terrible set in which she insults her ex-boyfriend. Later that night, at the bar, she meets Max, who is there with clients but who missed her set. Donna and Max have an instant connection and they end up having sex. In the morning Donna leaves Max's apartment without saying goodbye.

Several weeks after their one-night stand, Donna discovers that her breasts are sore while trying on clothes and suspects she is pregnant. A home pregnancy test later confirms this. Donna visits a Planned Parenthood clinic to schedule an abortion and discovers the only dates available are her mother's birthday and Valentine's Day; she picks Valentine's Day.

Max tracks Donna down at the bookstore where she works and they have the first of several awkward conversations. Donna then runs into Max when he stops by her mother's apartment to return a book to her mother, Nancy, who is a former professor of his. They have dinner together where Donna is prepared to tell Max about her pregnancy and impending abortion, but cannot bring herself to tell him after he makes a comment about how he wants to be a grandfather someday. He comes to Donna's comedy show, but she leaves with another man, Sam. She has an awkward evening with Sam and quickly leaves. After her terrible night, Donna visits her mother to talk about her upcoming abortion. Her mother comforts her by telling her that she too had an abortion before Donna was conceived.

Donna regrets pushing Max away and leaves him several unreturned voicemails apologizing and saying she really does need to talk to him. As a final effort, she invites him to the club to see her perform. Max arrives just as she goes on stage to perform a set about how she is pregnant and will have an abortion the next day. Max leaves, but on the day of Donna's abortion, he arrives at her home with flowers and asks if he can accompany her to her procedure. While at the clinic he tells her he supports her, and that when he said that he wanted to be a grandfather, he didn’t mean tomorrow but sometime far in the future. After the abortion, Max takes Donna to his home where he makes her tea, and then they watch ''Gone with the Wind'' together.

Three teenage boys, Shin Yong-joo, Han Ki-woong and Ko Ki-taek, were best friends in middle school. While Yong-joo and Ki-taek still remain close, Ki-woong becomes a ''jjang'' (Korean slang term meaning "best"), one of the strongest fighters in the school, and begins to hang out with Sung-jin's gang (Sung-jin's parents are powerful figures, making him a bigwig among his schoolmates), meaning he draws away from the other two, particularly when Yong-joo becomes concerned when he finds out that Sung-jin's gang is mercilessly bullying Ki-taek, an eccentric manhwa fan.

Under intense pressure to get into a prestigious university because his mother is single and financially struggling, Yong-joo develops an unlikely relationship with Ki-woong, who tries to break away from Sung-jin. But when Ki-taek learns that Yong-joo is gay, he retaliates for a past slight and betrays his friend and joins Sung-jin's gang in ostracizing him, telling them that Yong-joo has loved Ki-woong for years.

In a laboratory, an alchemist is working with a large retort on a stove. After consulting a book, he falls asleep in a chair near the retort. As he sleeps, a giant snake comes out of the stove and transforms into a jester, who wakes the alchemist and forces him to look in a hand-mirror. When the alchemist does so, the retort grows much larger, the alchemist falls back to sleep, and a giant spider with a human face appears inside the retort. The spider dissolves into a young woman sprinkling coins onto the ground. Sparks escape from the retort and transform into a ghost. The alchemist wakes in terror, and the giant retort explodes. Two assistants run to the alchemist, who has fallen prostrate on the ground. The jester reappears and stands triumphant over the fallen alchemist.

In a motel, Roy Tomlin and his friend Lucas watch an AMBER Alert for 8-year-old Alton Meyer and his reported abductor, Roy, while the boy reads on the floor.

At the Ranch, a religious cult in rural Texas, Pastor Calvin Meyer dispatches two of his parishioners to retrieve Alton. He then faces his congregation as the FBI storms their church. NSA communications analyst Paul Sevier asks Calvin how numbers sent via encoded satellite transmissions made their way into his sermons. Calvin explains that Alton speaks in tongues and gave the numbers to Calvin. As Alton's powers grew, his mother Sarah abandoned him, and members of the Ranch have been raising him, with Pastor Meyer as his adoptive father. It is also noted in this sequence that Roy is Alton's biological father. Roy is protective of Alton, doing everything in his power to avert danger.

After a violent confrontation with a state trooper, Roy and Lucas seek cover at the home of Elden, a former Ranch member. During the night, an earthquake seems to wake Roy and Lucas. When they break down the door to Alton's room, they find him linked to Elden by blinding beams of light directly from his eyes into Elden's. Roy knocks out Elden and covers up Alton, who is extremely photosensitive. They take Elden's van and continue on toward a location that Alton specified. Members of the Ranch seem to know this location, but the FBI is desperately trying to figure out where the trio are headed.

When they stop at a gas station, Alton seems to destroy a satellite, creating a rain of debris crashing down on them. They drive to Sarah Tomlin's house, and she is overjoyed to be reunited with her son. After they watch the news together, Alton explains that he caused the satellite to crash because the police were using it to track him.

As the fugitives (now including Sarah) continue on their trek, Alton appears to be growing sick and weak. He convinces Roy to let him see the daylight, while Lucas and Sarah go ahead to a motel. After witnessing his first ever sunrise, Alton's eyes begin to glow, and an enormous dome of light surrounds the duo. They reunite with Lucas and Sarah, and Alton is healthy. He explains that seeing the sun helped him realize his true identity. He explains that there is a world "built on top of" this one, and that he belongs to it. Roy confirms that he briefly saw this hidden world inside the dome of light.

When they exit the hotel room, they are ambushed by Calvin's trackers from the ranch, who abduct Alton but are soon captured by the police. The boy is taken to a government facility where, although he had no normal way of knowing who the man was, he still insists that he will talk only to Paul Sevier. After Sevier experiences Alton's powers, he helps reunite him with his parents. Having deduced their destination from Calvin's sermons, Sevier warns the fugitives that there is a 5-mile security perimeter around the location, on the Florida panhandle.

Roy barrels through a roadblock, driving inside the perimeter as the Army scrambles to give chase. As they speed away, Alton lets them know just where to stop. Alton and Sarah speedily exit the car and run into the woods. Roy and Lucas lead the Army on a wild goose chase while Alton and Sarah reach the edge of a swamp. There, a great dome of light appears, engulfing much of Florida and surrounding states. Everyone inside the dome of light can see the futuristic structures of a parallel world.

The plot of ''Über'' begins in April 1945, as Adolf Hitler's Third Reich faces total defeat at the hands of the Soviet Union. Hitler's suicide attempt in the ''Führerbunker'' is interrupted by the news that a secret military research project has succeeded in creating ''Übermenschen'' ("Übers") – enhanced humans with extreme strength and durability, combined with the ability to generate a destructive energy field known as a "disruption halo". These Nazi superhumans are divided into two classes – the basic "tank" class ("Panzermensch"), who number several hundred at the start of the series, and the "battleship" class, who are far more powerful but number only three. The German "battleships" – two male and a female – are code-named Siegmund, Siegfried, and Sieglinde, after characters in Richard Wagner's Ring cycle. The Übers quickly turn the tide of the war in Germany, saving Berlin from the advancing Soviets.

As the Nazis attempt to rebuild their ruined country and strike out at the Allies, an Allied spy delivers the technology for creating superhumans to the British. It is revealed that only one human in 5,000 is viable for enhancement, with an even smaller number potentially capable of becoming "battleships". Meanwhile, in the Pacific theater, the United States Navy suffers a series of disastrous defeats at the hands of Imperial Japanese superhumans. Soon, all the major powers are embroiled in an arms race to develop more and stronger Übers, leading to new war atrocities, including the mass extermination of prisoners of war and convict soldiers by both the Nazis and Soviets. As the war escalates, the enhanced humans themselves face the dehumanizing prospect of becoming pure living weapons.

In the future, humankind has developed a new interpretation of gaming in the form of a virtual reality system known as the VirtNet, which contains various games, including "Lifeblood", a re-creation of real life. Michael and his two friends Bryson and Sarah are three talented hackers who can use the game code to manipulate items, and they are employed by VirtNet Security (VNS) to track down a cyber-terrorist known as Kaine, who has been trapping people inside the VirtNet. The gamers who are trapped often commit suicide in real life by coding out their Cores, the virtual objects that differentiate between their Auras, or their virtual bodies, and their real-life bodies. The VNS wants Michael and his friends to find out about the Mortality Doctrine, a program created by Kaine. Using information from Cutter, a barber in the game ''Lifeblood'', Michael and his friends hack their way into the high-end Black and Blue club. They meet Ronika, the owner, who tells them that to get to Kaine's base in the Hallowed Ravine, they must get through The Path, which can be accessed through a weak spot in the code within the game ''Devils of Destruction''. However, creatures programmed by Kaine known as KillSims, which suck the life out of VirtNet players' Auras and leave their real-life bodies brain-dead, attack and destroy Ronika. Michael begins to have serious but occasional headaches. Michael and his friends then manage to gain access to The Path through ''Devils of Destruction'', which they find very difficult to beat, after hacking through the age restriction. Once they enter The Path, they find themselves on a massive stone disk with a riddle. After solving it, they enter an infinitely long corridor, from which the only exit is to go through a hole in the wall. The three best friends have to overcome their fears to keep moving on. At one point, Bryson's Aura is killed by strange, animated corpses that attack whenever anybody makes noise. Along the way, they meet Gunner Skale, a legendary gamer who mysteriously disappeared from the VirtNet, who leads them to realizing that Kaine is actually a rogue Tangent, or an AI in the VirtNet. After escaping from Skale, as he attempted to kill them, Michael and Sarah continue on The Path, but Sarah's Aura is also killed when she is burned by lava. Eventually, Michael reaches a crossroads, where he is given the choice of either leaving the Path or entering the Hallowed Ravine. When he chooses the Hallowed Ravine, a silver machine destroys his Core, so that if his Aura were to die, he would die in real life. After reaching the Hallowed Ravine and discovering a group of Tangents controlled by Kaine, the VNS sends agents to his location to attack. However, in the ensuing battle, with the KillSims attacking, a large number of VNS agents die. Kaine manages to force Michael into a room, from which Michael escapes, allowed by Kaine to do so. He is attacked by KillSims, but he uses his hacking ability to delete, rather than manipulate, things, for the first time. Michael suffers another headache and begs Kaine to save him. Michael then wakes up in a Coffin, or a coffin-like enclosure from which the VirtNet is accessed, but realizes that his body and his surroundings are different. He finds that Kaine left him a message that explained how Michael was a Tangent, and that he was the first successful subject of The Mortality Doctrine, which implants Tangent intelligence into human bodies. Michael is also told that since he is now human, his headaches were actually caused by Decay, a condition that results from the deterioration of a Tangent's code. Michael then realizes that he had resided in the game ''Lifeblood Deep'' during his time as a Tangent, and when he had entered his Coffin, he had entered the game used by human beings, ''Lifeblood''. He opens the door and meets Agent Weber, the VNS agent who contracted him to stop Kaine, who informs him that Bryson and Sarah are real. He is also told to attempt to impersonate the human whose body he is in.

''The Night Crew'' centers on a group of hard up bounty hunters (Wade, Ronnie, Rose and Crenshaw) who are paid to rescue a mysterious girl and bring her to America to hide and expose the illegal activities by the most powerful drug dealer. They must survive the night in a desert motel against their well trained gang. They soon realize that their fugitive, a mysterious Chinese woman (Mae), is much more than she lets on.

The story begins as a girl named Mona and her pet cat, Fang, are being read a spooky bedtime story by Mona's father which they find very intriguing, causing her desire to become a vampire that night before she goes to sleep.

Early the next morning, Mona and Fang were experimenting and finding things to match their ideas of vampire costumes. Mona's mother made them lunch with farfetched foods such as "batwing soup", and Mona took Fang outside to teach him some "important things that vampires need to know". Then they played "hide-and-seek-a-vampire" and "suck-my-blood". The book then shows an example of Mona obeying her mother as she tells Mona to clean her room.

The next morning, Mona makes her own school lunch to help her mother and went to school, taking Fang with her. At lunchtime (according to the picture on the page), Mona expressed her views on vampires, causing everyone to become uncomfortable and to be driven away from her. After this, the book shows an example of Mona at the gym as she "practiced tying all her special knots" (tying up the other classmates).

Later that day, Mona and Fang were painting on the classroom wall, and the teacher (later known as Miss Gotto in the television series) shouted that she is tired of the trouble that Mona is causing and that she doesn't want Mona in her class. She sent for the principal (later known as Ivan Shawbly in the television series), and he simply said that "enough is enough" and that "something must be done". Because of this, Mona and Fang joined a ballet class to "calm her down". They taught the ballerinas some vampire tricks of which the teacher, Mr. Kersley, did not approve.

When it was time to go home, Mona pedaled home with Fang, taking a shortcut beside a local graveyard. As it started to rain and storm, it reminded Mona of things from the spooky stories which she is obsessed with, and she became spooked, causing her to pedal faster. When Mona and Fang were back home, they were sick and tired from the storm. Mona's mother made them hot chocolate, sent them straight to the bath and then to bed.

That night, Mona had nightmares about "wicked witches and ghostly ghouls". In the morning, Mona put away all the parts of her vampire costume and decided to get over her obsession with vampires. The story ends that night as Mona's father reads Mona and Fang a bedtime story about space invaders.

When Zoe (Amanda Adrienne) tells her mother that she wants to move in with her long-distance boyfriend, her mother is reluctant to let her drive by herself since she is deaf and would be unable to call for assistance if she needed it. Despite her reservations, Zoe's mother allows her to go alone which proves to have disastrous consequences when, in the course of bravely helping an injured reservation Indian, Zoe is abducted and brutally raped by several members of a degenerate local gang, descendants of the people who wiped out the Apache tribe inhabiting the lands over two hundred years ago. The preserved skull of the Apache chief (Rick Mora) is kept by them as a spoil of war.

Once they have finished abusing her, the gang kill and bury Zoe, only for an elderly Native American man, graveyard keeper Grey Wolf (Joseph Runningfox), to attempt to bring her back through a ritual. However, the resurrection ceremony also brings back the spirit of the Apache Warchief Mangas Coloradas, who was killed by an ancestor of one of the gang that raped Zoe. The chief, possessing Zoe's body, starts to hunt down her murderers. Grey Wolf finds Zoe and explains what has happened to her, warning the possessed woman that her flesh will continue to rapidly decay, and for both Zoe and the chief to know peace, they must be avenged quickly.

After a number of the gang are killed (disemboweled, shot with arrows and scalped), the remaining ones decide to abduct Zoe's boyfriend, Dane, who has followed Zoe's trail in search of her. They succeed, loading-up on weaponry and barricading themselves in an improvised fortress which they surround with myriad traps. Zoe, in return, is gifted with a long-buried tomahawk and a knife, which once belonged to the murdered Warchief. She eventually hunts down all of the gang except for Trey (Rodney Rowland), who is the direct descendant of the chief's own murderer. When she tells him to "walk in hell" (the last words spoken to the chief before he was decapitated), Trey realizes what has been happening, and flees to the graveyard, torturing Grey Wolf for information on how to put Apache ghosts to rest. Zoe, meanwhile, murders the rest of Trey's family, while Dane, learning that she is alive, heads to the sacred Apache grounds as well.

Trey desperately tries to bury the skull in order to pacify the spirit, but fails to finish before Zoe appears. After fighting her off with a chainsaw, he is defeated and beheaded, completing the Warchief's revenge, but leaving Zoe's body broken and ruined. Dane finds her upper half trying to bury itself. After the tragic pair express their love one final time, Dane, in an act of mercy, cremates Zoe's remains, liberating both souls into the Afterlife.

In the early 1950s, Angela Gardner is a burlesque star known as Hot Garters Gertie. She started working as an exotic dancer solely to earn money for a college education. She wants to be a writer, and has been working on a play for many years. She enrolls at Midwest State, where her former high-school teacher John Palmer is now a professor of English. Palmer, aware of Angela's occupation after having seen her perform, encourages her enrollment. Angela mistakenly thinks that Palmer wants to meet her privately after she receives a fur coat, but she discovers that the coat was sent by one of her admirers who tries unsuccessfully to seduce her. Palmer has a longstanding rivalry with former college-football jock Shep Slade, who is fond of Palmer's wife Helen. With the help of fellow student Don Weston, and despite interference from the jealous "Poison Ivy" Williams, Angela succeeds in her studies. Palmer suggests that she turn her play into a musical. When the theatrical arts class votes to stage a musical instead of the usual work by Shakespeare, Angela's play is a natural. After "Poison Ivy" discovers Angela's past and exposes it in the college newspaper, chairman Fred Copeland of the board of trustees demands her expulsion. Palmer is defiant and defends Angela at an open-school assembly. Angela asks Copeland not to expel her and discovers that he is the man who had tried to seduce her. Embarrassed, he accepts her return of the mink coat, which his wife unknowingly wears at the performance of Angela's play.

Act I

The play starts on a date in late summer 1900, in A. J. Raffles's old Albany chambers in Piccadilly. Lord Alfred Douglas comes to see his friend Bunny Manders, who served a prison sentence for burglary and met Oscar Wilde in Reading Gaol. Bunny is wearing a black armband in memory of Raffles, who was reportedly killed in the Boer War six months prior. Bunny and Raffles had a homosexual relationship, and Bunny tells Lord Alfred he is still always faithful to Raffles. Raffles left a will leaving Bunny everything, including the Albany chambers. Bunny shows Lord Alfred some of Raffles's burglary tools. The Albany head porter, Smith, says a man in tweeds with a grey beard wants to see Bunny. Bunny recognizes the man as Inspector Mackenzie, the police detective who arrested Bunny and tried to arrest Raffles. Mackenzie questions Bunny about the tools, and Bunny comes up with innocent explanations for them.

After Mackenzie leaves the room, Lord Alfred suggests to Bunny that they steal from Lord Alfred's father, the Marquess of Queensberry, as a way of getting revenge for Wilde's prison sentence. Bunny is unwilling to do it without Raffles. Suddenly, Raffles enters, revealing that he was disguised as Mackenzie. He explains that on the battlefield, he exchanged papers with a dead soldier before he was captured by the Boers. He escaped, with a gold pocket watch owned by General Botha. After leaving the room, Raffles had eavesdropped on Bunny and Lord Alfred, because he was jealous after finding Bunny and Lord Alfred together. He heard Lord Alfred's burglary idea and approves of it. Bunny is delighted to be reunited with Raffles and removes his armband. They plan for Raffles to rob the Marquess's safe during a baccarat house party. Raffles asks Lord Alfred for a list of the guests and a floor plan of the house. Lord Alfred points out the safe in his father's bedroom.

Act II

The second act takes place a few nights later, in the Marquess of Queensberry's bedroom in his country house in Hertfordshire. After a waiter brings champagne to the room, Bunny and Raffles sneak in. Raffles uses one of his safe-keys to open the old safe. He fills a nearby gold box with sovereigns, and has Bunny put the letters that were in the box into his pockets. Raffles then gives Bunny the box to put under his cloak, and starts filling his own pockets with coins. They hear noises. Raffles closes the safe and hides with Bunny on the balcony behind the curtain. A lady, Alice, enters the room, followed by her lady's maid, Mary, who helps her mistress change into a dressing gown and also hints that she has romantic feelings for her mistress. The lady goes to another room to have a bath and Mary leaves. Raffles tells Bunny to bring the box to Albany, which Bunny does though he hesitates to leave Raffles. Raffles plans to steal from the baccarat players.

The Prince of Wales comes looking for Alice, with whom he is having an affair. The Marquess had lent Alice the room, which Lord Alfred didn't know. Raffles pretends to be a waiter named Jones. The Prince asks to be called Mr. Portland. Raffles mentions that he was wounded and captured at Spion Kop, which impresses the Prince. Raffles gives him the pocket watch and tells him to give it to his mother. The Marquess of Queensberry comes saying there is a Scotland Yard inspector downstairs, and realizes his safe was robbed. The real Inspector Mackenzie appears, having come because a German agent is trying to acquire the Prince's indiscreet letters to Alice, which she kept in a gold cigar box. Mackenzie recognizes Raffles and arrests him for robbing the safe, but Raffles proposes a deal, offering to find the letters and the German agent. He realizes the agent is the waiter who brought champagne. Alice returns and wonders why there are so many people in the room.

Act III

In Raffles's chambers in Albany, early the next morning, Bunny tells Lord Alfred that Raffles has been caught and that the police are probably looking for Bunny too. Bunny gives the money in the box to Lord Alfred. The waiter from before enters. He is Captain von Blixen, a German agent. He believes Bunny is a rival Russian agent and wants the letters. Bunny dropped most of them on the street while bicycling away, but he gives what he has to the agent, who is armed with a revolver. Captain von Blixen is disappointed to see these letters are dull. The Prince comes and tells the agent to put his gun down. There is a sound of broken glass. Raffles, Mackenzie, and the Marquess had gone to the roof to cut off a possible escape route for the German agent. Raffles reports that the Marquess fell through the roof into the Burlington Arcade. Raffles takes the agent's gun and gets him to agree not to search for the letters by making him undress to his combinations.

Mackenzie and Lord Alfred carry in the apparently dead Marquess. Lord Alfred, who despises his father, is pleased. Mackenzie tries to arrest Raffles for burglary, but the Prince refuses to charge Raffles with stealing the box and Lord Alfred claims that Raffles was only obtaining the allowance he was owed. Mackenzie exits. Lord Alfred leaves to go to Paris and possibly see Wilde. The Prince is not concerned about the lost letters, because the names in the letters are common. Raffles promises the Prince that from now on, he will only be known to England as a cricketer, not a burglar. The Prince, grateful for the pocket watch, gives Raffles the gold box. The Prince leaves. Raffles tells Bunny his promise would not prevent them from being burglars while spending the winter in France. Smith and Captain von Blixen start to carry the Marquess out when the Marquess suddenly sits up, alarmed. Raffles casually tells him they are simply taking him to the hospital.

In North Western Australia, highway patrol officers Gary Bulmer and Brian O'Connor are parked by an outback highway, desperate to meet a quota for speeding tickets. Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) drives past going under the speed limit and they pull him over, claiming he was speeding. After belittling and insulting Mick, the two officers give him a speeding ticket and an order to get rid of his truck. Soon after in retaliation, Mick shoots O'Connor in the head as the officers drive away, causing the car to crash in a gully. Despite Bulmer's desperate pleas, Mick breaks his leg, stabs him in the back with a bowie knife and places the mortally wounded officer back in the car before dousing it with petrol and setting it alight. Mick departs, leaving Bulmer to burn alive in the resulting explosion.

Meanwhile, a young German couple, Rutger and Katarina, hitchhike from Sydney to Wolf Creek Crater and camp nearby. In the middle of the night, Mick arrives at the campsite and offers them a lift to a caravan site so they do not get charged for camping in a national park. When Rutger declines his offer, Mick loses his temper and stabs Rutger in the back. He then ties Katarina up and prepares to rape her, but a wounded Rutger battles Mick; Rutger is eventually overpowered and decapitated. Mick then tells Katarina they'll be spending "a fun couple of months together" before choking her until she falls unconscious.

Katarina wakes up later in the night to see Mick cutting up Rutger's body to feed to his dogs. She flees into the bush and Mick pursues her in his truck, referring to this as playing a game of hide and seek. At the same time, English tourist Paul Hammersmith (Ryan Corr) is driving along the highway, and stops when he sees Katarina standing in the road. He picks her up, but Mick relentlessly pursues them. Mick shoots at Paul, but accidentally kills Katarina instead. Paul then drives off, remorsefully leaving Katarina's body in the sand and covering it with just a sleeping bag at daybreak. Mick must now track and kill Paul as a witness to his killing of Katarina. He also blames Paul for taking his 'plaything' (Katarina) away from him, even though he, Mick, fired the shot that killed her.

Paul reaches a highway. Realising he is off course and has low fuel, he tries to flag down a truck in the distance. He soon realises that Mick is driving the truck, having killed the original driver. After a long chase, during which Mick runs over numerous kangaroos which are crossing the highway, Mick nudges Paul's vehicle at a steep hillside, sending it rolling down into a valley. Paul survives the crash and taunts Mick, who sends the truck hurtling down into Paul's vehicle, which explodes as Paul barely escapes the area. Paul treks across the outback for hours looking for help. Exhausted and dehydrated, he passes out near an outback homestead and is given food and shelter by an elderly couple. They plan to take Paul to the nearest town after he has eaten, but Mick finds the house, and shoots the couple dead. Paul flees again; Mick catches Paul hiding in the grassland and knocks him out.

Paul wakes up in Mick's dungeon, zip-tied to a chair. Mick is furious at Paul for his role in Katarina's death and prepares to torture him, but Paul pacifies him with his "English wit" by narrating limericks and leading Mick in drinking songs that he claims he learned at boarding school. He also gets Mick to join him in singing Rolf Harris's Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport. Mick's torture for Paul consists of a ten question quiz about Australian culture and history, with a promise to free him if he answers five of them correctly. However, for each question Paul answers incorrectly, he loses a finger. Paul answers the first two questions correctly and reveals that he is a history major. After he gets the next question 'wrong', Mick (irritated by Paul's knowledge) grinds off one of his fingers with a sander.

When Paul intentionally gets the next answer wrong, Mick cuts his other hand free (at Paul's request) from the zip tie and grinds off a finger. Paul then grabs a nearby hammer and clubs Mick with it before fleeing through the tunnels of the dungeon. Paul finds numerous decayed corpses and a severely emaciated woman begging to be freed. While being pursued by an injured Mick, Paul eventually stumbles across an exit, but notices a sheet on the ground directly in front of it. Lifting it up, he finds a Punji stick trap underneath. As he considers trying to jump over it, he hears someone coming and hides, assuming it's Mick. When the figure approaches, he knocks them into the trap and kills them; it was the woman he encountered earlier. Immediately afterwards, Mick finds and subdues Paul, and headbutts him unconscious.

When he wakes up, Paul finds himself, dressed only in his underpants, on a footpath in a small town, with multiple wounds across his body. He finds a handwritten note near him which reads "LOSER" before being discovered by two police officers. A series of title cards before the credits reveal that despite reporting Mick to the police, Paul was held as a suspect in various unsolved murders in the Wolf Creek area. During the investigation, he suffered a complete mental breakdown and was deported back to the UK and placed in full-time care at Ashworth Hospital, Merseyside. The film ends like the first film with Mick walking off into the outback with his rifle.

The game begins with Eric LeBlanc sitting in an airplane with his son, Timmy, before it suddenly crashes on a remote heavily forested peninsula. Despite being the sole survivors of the crash, a disoriented Eric watches helplessly as Timmy is kidnapped by a man covered in red paint before falling unconscious. Upon awakening in the wreckage, Eric goes out in search of his son but discovers that the peninsula is occupied by feral cannibalistic mutants, and is forced to defend himself while surviving off the land. In his search, Eric finds clues of Timmy’s whereabouts in the form of crayon drawings in several caverns. Eric may also spot the man in red from a distance, who will flee if approached.

Timmy’s drawings eventually lead Eric to an abandoned underground lab complex owned by Sahara Therapeutics, a large research company responsible for experimenting with creatures on the peninsula. Upon entering the lab, Eric finds the lab's personnel dead and discovers that they were studying an artifact called the Resurrection Obelisk. Created by a mysterious group called the Ancient Ones, the artifact has the power to resurrect the dead but requires a child sacrifice. Eric also learns that his son's kidnapper, Dr. Matthew Cross, was a chief researcher at the facility before losing his daughter Megan to an escaped mutant. Driven insane by his daughter’s death, Cross resorted to using the artifact and kidnapped Timmy as a sacrifice to revive Megan.

Eric soon finds Cross dead and then the artifact, only to find Timmy’s corpse inside; he had already been sacrificed to revive Megan. Despite being too late to save his son, Eric realizes that the machine connected to the artifact can still be used to resurrect Timmy. Going deeper into the facility, Eric finds the revived Megan but discovers that she has become a deranged monster, and is forced to kill her after she mutates and attacks him. Eric places Megan’s body into the artifact, but then realizes that a live sacrifice is needed. He then reaches the facility's observatory and discovers a second artifact known as the Power Obelisk, which functions as a type of EMP device capable of bringing down planes when activated, implying that Cross used it to cause the plane crash. Eric is then faced with either activating the artifact as a passenger flight passes overhead (shown to have three children onboard per the device's controls), or shutting it down.

The game features two endings: * If Eric activates the artifact, he causes the plane to crash and is implied to have found a sacrifice to revive Timmy. One year later, Eric and Timmy have apparently been rescued and are invited onto a talk show to promote Eric's book, which chronicles his experiences on the peninsula. During the show, Timmy suddenly collapses and begins violently shaking, seemingly about to mutate like Megan did. Eric comforts Timmy and he returns to normal. Years later, an older Timmy is shown in his apartment, investigating an island labeled "Site 2" while still struggling to suppress his mutations. * If Eric decides to shut down the artifact, he spares the lives of everyone on the plane at the cost of Timmy remaining dead. Eric then leaves the facility and burns a photo of Timmy, choosing to let go. After this final cutscene, control of Eric is then returned to the player, who can continue gameplay surviving on the peninsula.

The episode starts with a flashback to 1490 Bulgaria where Katherine (Nina Dobrev) gave birth to her daughter, Nadia (Olga Fonda). Katherine's father took Nadia away from her right after she was born.

Present day: Katherine is at the hospital after the heart attack she had suffered. Stefan (Paul Wesley) is there with her and when Nadia comes, he informs her that he compelled the doctors so he can take Katherine back home to be more comfortable.

At the Salvatore house, Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), Matt (Zach Roerig), Caroline (Candice Accola), Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Elena have a drinking game celebrating Katherine's upcoming death, naming the worst things she has ever done to them. Stefan walks in, asking them to stop because they are being insensitive. He instead drinks to the survivor Katherine rather than the evil one.

Matt goes to get more liquor when Nadia shows up and knocks him down. She then goes back to the house where everyone is gathered and tells them that she found a way to save her mother but she needs some help. When they deny to help her, she says that she imagined what their answer would be and that is why she has buried Matt somewhere alive and she took his Gilbert ring. If they want to find him they should help her.

Stefan and Elena follow Nadia to an abandoned house. On their way there, Nadia tells them her plan of how she will save Katherine. Katherine is born in a traveler bloodline and she can become one by getting into someone else's body; that is, if someone teaches her how to do the spell. Nadia is willing to give up her body to save her mother. When they reach the abandoned house, they find many travelers there and Nadia tells Elena and Stefan that the travelers asked for the doppelgangers but she does not know what for. She leaves, leaving behind Stefan and Elena. The travelers cast a spell, keeping the two of them from escaping and they get one bucket of blood from each of them, for unknown reasons, and then they let them go.

Meanwhile, Caroline, Bonnie and Jeremy try to find out where Matt is. While searching, Caroline finds out about Bonnie and Jeremy's relationship and then they split up to continue the searching. While Caroline shouts out for Matt, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) appears. He informs her that he is back because Damon told him Katherine was dying but Caroline wants to know if he killed Tyler (Michael Trevino). He says that he did not and when Klaus mentions her break up with Tyler, she tells him that he chose revenge over her. Klaus wants to know if she would give him the same choice she gave to Tyler but Caroline tries to avoid the question saying that she is looking for her missing friend. He reassures her that Matt is fine since he heard his calls and a rescuer is on the way to get him out. While Caroline and Klaus talk, Matt opens the safe and he sees Rebekah (Claire Holt).

Klaus promises Caroline that he will leave Mystic Falls and never bother her again if she will confess her feelings about him and be honest. After that promise, Caroline kisses him and the two of them have sex before Caroline goes back to the Salvatore house.

Back in the house, Katherine remembers about the time when Klaus killed her entire family because she run away from him when Damon gets into her mind to torture her. He tells her that it is her fault that her family was killed and he also makes her see aunt Jenna (Sara Canning) and John Gilbert (David Anders). Jenna stabs her and John cuts her fingers off, things that the two of them suffered while being alive because of her. Then, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) appears to save her, but when he sits next to her his face turns into Damon's who apologizes to her about all these not being real. That is when Nadia appears and snaps Damon's neck to stop him from torturing her mother.

Nadia asks Katherine to say the spell so she can get into her body and save her life but Katherine declines saying that she had a full life and it is time for her to go. Nadia leaves and Damon wakes up having heard though the conversation between mother and daughter. Stefan walks in asking what happened and Damon informs him that he was messing with Katherine's mind all day. He asks Damon to leave and Stefan sits with Katherine and tells her that she deserves to find peace. She gets into her mind and he changes her memories from 1492. Her family is not dead and she has her little baby girl. He leaves the room while Elena comes in to say her goodbye.

Stefan and Damon, before they join the rest at the living room, they have a brother-to-brother talk at the roof where Stefan asks Damon not to give up on Elena and try his best to get her back.

Everyone, except Elena, is in the living room waiting for Katherine to die. While waiting, Bonnie answers Matt's question that as the anchor to the other side she sees many people including Vicki (Kayla Ewell) who appears to tell him via Bonnie that she loves him and is always watching over him. Tyler also comes back, making Caroline upset after the moment she had with Klaus in the woods. Alaric (Matt Davis) appears last to inform everyone that he is always there.

The episode ends with Elena and Katherine in the bedroom. Elena tells Katherine she forgives her for everything she has done, and while Katherine thanks her, she grabs Elena and chants the spell Nadia taught her. Elena falls to the floor, Katherine faints and Elena phones start to ring. Elena wakes up and answers it. It is Nadia who asks if it worked and Katherine (via Elena's body) says that it did. She hangs up the phone, walks over to a mirror and says: "Hi, I am Elena Gilbert".

The film opens at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, with a phone conversation between Mr. Makinde Esho (Femi Jacobs) and his managing director (Jide Kosoko). Makinde is reminded by his MD about how important it is for him to get an authorization from the Ministry of Land, and return to Lagos with a positive feedback. Just as Makinde is about to board a taxi, he is interrupted by Ejura (Linda Ejiofor), a female Corp member who pleads to share the ride, as she is short on cash and there is a long queue at the ATM. Makinde refuses at first, but after much persuasion from Ejura, he reluctantly agrees. Even though Ejura had promised earlier to remain quiet during the ride, her inquisitive nature gives Makinde facial expressions that prompt answers and eventually start a conversation.

Mr Makinde arrives at the Ministry of Land and encounters Mr. Ugor (Chinedu Ikedieze) being forced out of the building by security operatives. Makinde is in awe but manages to find his way to the reception desk to meet the minister's discourteous secretary, Clara Ikemba (Rita Dominic). He is unapologetically informed by Clara that his meeting, which was originally scheduled for 9:30 am, has been moved to 4:30 pm. Makinde retires his stance and joins the other appointees who are all seated to see the minister. While waiting, Clara informs the appointees that she sells recharge cards and cold drinks to cater for their needs as they wait to see the minister, Ejura also calls Mr Makinde to thank him for the ride he gave to her earlier while he has lunch at a nearby eatery. Several hours pass and Makinde is yet to hear a word from the secretary about his rescheduled meeting. He decides to inquire about it from her but to his surprise, she informs him rudely that the minister has already left the office. Makinde argues that she could have told him and the others waiting, instead of making people waste their precious time. Clara replies him "OYO (meaning ''On Your Own'') is their case", a slang which means every man is responsible to himself and she has no business telling them to wait or go home. The meeting is eventually rescheduled for the following day. Makinde checks into a hotel. While trying to fight boredom, Ejura calls and eventually joins Makinde in the hotel in a bid to keep him company.

Makinde is set to give his presentation to the minister on Tuesday morning, but just as the secretary is about to inform the minister of his presence, a group of Igbo kinsmen arrive at the reception. Hours pass on and the kinsmen conclude their meeting with the minister only for Clara to tell Makinde after a confrontation that the minister is having his lunch and can not see anyone at the moment. Bolarinwa (Nse Ikpe Etim) stylishly enters the reception room to the amazement of everyone present. From her brief chat with Clara It is quite clear that she is a close friend to the secretary and the minister's mistress. Shortly after the conversation she is granted entry to see the minister. After a while, Makinde stands up to inquire from the secretary again only to be told she is closing. Makinde asks about his appointment and she tells him the minister left 30 minutes ago. He tells her that she should have informed him and other people waiting and give replies with her signature sentence "OYO is their case".

Makinde is forced to spend the night in Abuja. He later invites Ejura over to his hotel after she calls to inquire about his presentation. So starts their love story over five days of Makinde trying unsuccessfully to see the minister. While returning from a movie, they ultimately kiss and cuddle till the next morning. Makinde leaves for his appointment after asking her what she sees in him despite their age difference. He is later able to make his presentation to the minister and also catch up with his daughter's graduation ceremony. He later flies back to Abuja to spend his holiday with Ejura. The film ends with both kissing at the rooftop of a construction site, Ejura was supervising.

In post-Cold War Washington an inexperienced political appointee, Paul Hood (Hamlin), is to head the supposedly obsolete National Crisis Management Center (NCMC) - with an eye to downsizing it. No sooner is he introduced around by Deputy Director Brigadier General Mike Rodgers (Carl Weathers) than he's in the middle of a crisis: a rogue KGB unit hijacks three Ukrainian based nuclear warheads for sale to the Middle East. National Security Advisor Vice Admiral Troy Davis (Brimley) orders Hood and the Op Center to locate the warheads, verify their location and prepare a viable recovery plan.

Hood is initially handicapped by ignorance and naivete; when told about a honeytrap, he asks: "Who are we working for: the United States government or the Mafia?" Nonetheless he quickly demonstrates ability to absorb new information and lead intelligently. The warheads are located and electronically confirmed aboard a KGB front-owned freighter sailing down the Bosphorus, declared destination Mombasa.

But top secret information is leaking to high powered Washington reporter Kate Michaels (Deidre Hall) and to the Israelis, whose Mossad representative Werkauf (Luis Avalos) threatens will take unilateral action if the US does not. Hood is further harassed when his unhappy wife Jane (Catrall), who doesn't like Washington or understand the seriousness of his job, leaves town. This gives Pamela Bluestone (Lindsay Frost), the Center's brilliant psychiatrist "mind-reader and Good Witch of the East," the opening to make a play for Hood.

Before any action can be taken the intelligence-leak must be pinpointed and plugged. To that end the Center plants a bogus intelligence report on Adm. Davis for White House consumption – only to confirm that the leak leads from the President (Ken Howard) to the Israelis via Kate Michaels, the President's mistress.

Hood and the Center reveal the deception to Adm. Davis and present the chain of evidence; Davis in turn forces the President to end his liaison with Michaels. Meanwhile, Hood, dispirited by Jane's departure, tries to resign, but Adm. Davis talks him out of it.

With their source blown, the Israelis give Hood the buyer's identity and his file: Abdul Fazawi (Kabir Bedi), former Mossad agent-turned-arms-dealer. Fazawi must be neutralized before the recovery operation begins, or he will disappear to set up another such deal.

Then wily rogue KGB Col. Stolipin (Sherman Howard) alters the ship's course towards Libya, reducing the time-frame in which the recovery team, codenamed "Linebacker", can act. Hood sends Pamela Bluestone and Dan McCaskey (Bo Hopkins), deputy assistant FBI director and Center' crime/terrorism expert, to New York to arrest Fazawi, who must be in custody before "Linebacker" moves. But Fazawi is late to his rendezvous. When he does show up he is arrested but Werkauf shoots him dead, wounding McCaskey and another FBI agent before being shot dead himself. With hind-sight Bob Herbert (John Savage), the Center's wheelchair bound Intelligence Officer (Beirut Embassy bombing, 1983), realizes that the Israelis used the Center to flush Fazawi into the open. Meanwhile, "Linebacker" has gone into action; following a short, hard fight they take control of ship, surviving crew and warheads, and disarming the scuttling charge.

At next day's press conference the President announces that contrary to 'irresponsible... unfounded reports', there are no stolen nuclear warheads: the US, Russia and Israel have just concluded a joint exercise ''simulating'' theft and recovery of dummy warheads, and to prove it he introduces the Russian and Israeli ambassadors to answer questions. When asked how she got the Russians and Israelis to cooperate Liz Gorman (Mia Korf), the Center's long suffering and resourceful Press and Congressional Liaison, replies: "I appealed to their sense of national interest... Well you know: blackmail."

Davis confirms Hood head of the Center for as long as he wants the job. Hood declines being interviewed by ''The Washington Post'' and heads home to his two preteen daughters, alone with the housekeeper while their mother is out of town. But when he opens the door his wife is waiting instead: Adm. Davis called Jane to explain why Paul has been so busy. As she takes him into her arms, he hesitantly returns the embrace, a wary look on his face.

After initially hating Groosham Grange when David arrived almost a year ago, he has decided to accept it. David now realizes that he belongs to this school and has a new goal. He wants to win the school's top prize, The Unholy Grail.

Throughout the year, David had worked hard to earn the most points so he could walk away with the Grail. But three months ago, Vincent King - a new student, had joined the school. Vincent being adaptive, quickly earned points and then stood second in line behind David to win the prize. Seeing Vincent as a rival, David had an instantaneous dislike to the new boy, even though Vincent became very popular.

Finally, when the year was coming to an end and only one test was left (i.e. "Advanced Cursing"), David is relieved to hear that he still has a 30-point lead over Vincent. One day, David witnesses Vincent exiting a tall tower. When David tries to enter the tower, he is spotted by Gregor, the school porter and is thus forced to return to his classes. Convinced that Vincent is up to something, David wants to know what is inside the tower. Being held up by Gregor causes David to be late in class and he loses three points, which gives him a 27-point lead over Vincent.

Afterwards, David starts a fight with Vincent and loses nine more points. But that night, David awakens and notices that Vincent's bed is empty. In the hallway, he thinks he sees Vincent sneak into Mr. Fitch and Mr. Teagle's office. When David enters the room, no one is there except Mr. Fitch and Mr. Teagle who are sleeping on the bed. David spies some paper and picks them up and sees that they are the questions for the "Advanced Cursing" test he is supposed to take the next day. Just as he is putting them down, the office door flies open and Mr. Helliwell caught him. David loses fifteen points, and now Vincent is right behind him in the race for the top prize, with just a lead of one point.

Finally, the "Advanced Cursing" test takes place and Vincent scores one mark higher than him and that settles the score and there's a tie. The correcting teacher, Mr. Kilgraw says that he didn't write one full answer and David is alarmed as he's sure he wrote it. Then, there's a tie-breaker where a blue statuette of Miss Pedicure (another teacher) needs to be recovered from the British Museum without any use of magic. In the end, he manages to solve the cryptic message given by Mr. Kilgraw and finds it. But at the end, wax models from Madame Tussauds attack him and he loses the statuette. Later, he discovers that Vincent got the statuette. Therefore, Vincent's declared the winner of the Unholy Grail. As usual, he suspects Vincent of treachery as he believed Vincent made those wax models to attack him.

When David does finally get into the tower, he finds evidence which claims that someone is trying to destroy Groosham Grange. The agent's plan is to take the Unholy Grail off the island and then to Canterbury which will cause the school to destroy itself. He also sees homing bats in the tower - which he deduces must be sending secret messages to the Bishop of Bletchley. While he's reading, he's suddenly pushed from the window, however he survives as he gets tangled in some vines growing on the walls of the East Tower. David realizes that he must prevent the destruction from happening.

On the day of prize-giving, Vincent is finally awarded the Grail, but as soon as the parents leave from the prize-giving ceremony, sudden destruction occurs. And David thinks Vincent is responsible. So, he ventures into the tower to find out what's happening but then is captured by the agent. Then he finds himself face-to-face with Jill Green, his best friend and Vincent King, his rival. He's ashamed to find that Vincent had not been responsible for anything. The only reason he entered the tower that day was because he smoked. By that time, Eliot had guessed who did this.

He took off on Mrs. Windergast's broomstick and found the Unholy Grail with Mr. Helliwell near the Canterbury Church. The pieces of the puzzle start fitting in together. It was Mr. Helliwell who was collecting the test papers - so he just removed the sheet with the answer. He was the one who had made the wax models to attack him and he's of course the agent. He had met the Bishop of Bletchley at Haiti who had reformed him and under his instructions had tried to destroy Groosham Grange. Somehow formulating a plan, David manages to get the Grail and returns it to the school. However, for personal purposes, he then decides to leave the school for good.

The children then spend 1–2 days with their selected foster parents, and then decide whether or not they want to be adopted or not.

The children at the home face discrimination from society as well as the psychological trauma of being abandoned at the home. While most of the children harbour the hope of eventually being adopted into a loving family, Maki clings onto the hope that her mother would return one day to claim her from the orphanage.

In the end, some children are adopted, some go back to their birth parents, and some even choose to stay at the orphanage.

A young man takes his wife and a friend on a fishing trip to the Florida Keys on a boat owned by local ''Conks''. Following a blow on the head when their boat hits a shallow bottom and loses its propeller, the husband becomes mentally unstable and believes his wife is having an affair.

Shell lives at a remote petrol station in the highlands with her father, Pete (who is epileptic). Adam (a regular customer about Shell's age) works at the local sawmill. Pete has an epileptic seizure, and Shell puts a cloth between his teeth (a common old wives' tale when regarding Tonic-clonic Seizures in particular, which should NEVER be implemented, as it is extremely dangerous and naive to do so). When Pete returns home from taking a car to the scrapyard there is a charged encounter between him and Shell. That night, when the heating fails, Shell climbs into bed with her father.

Next morning, Hugh (a regular, older, customer) returns bearing a gift of clothing for Shell. There is another charged encounter. After Hugh leaves, Shell approaches her father again as he repairs the heater.

Adam arrives to invite Shell out. He has lost his job due to being suspected of a break-in at the sawmill. He describes some of his own family issues and says is considering setting up a similar operation to Pete's, or working with Pete, but Pete rebuffs him. Adam and Shell drive off and have sex in Adam's car.

A young mother and child stop off to use the petrol station's toilets and the child leaves her doll behind. Shell runs off after the car to catch them. Pete sees she is not in the petrol station, and stares along the road (towards the spread-out village of Dundonnell and the Sail Mhòr outlying peak of An Teallach). Shell is lying in the roadside heather, against a backdrop of the loch and the craggy Beinn Ghobhlach, and Pete can't see her. Shell returns to the petrol station to find Pete having another fit. While convulsing, he bites Shell badly (one reason for the caution expressed above about this old wives' tale). As he recovers from his fit, they kiss, then fall asleep together. When he wakes up, Pete sees the cut on her hand and bruises on her legs (from her encounter with Adam), gets up and throws himself under the wheels of a passing lorry.

Adam comforts Shell and they sleep together. In the morning, a lorry arrives for fuel and Shell goes off with the driver, without plans of where to go. The closing credits roll over shots of the Destitution Road.

A farmer and his wife are attacked in their remote home by what appears to be zombies. At a horror convention, filmmaker Alfonso Betz is onstage discussing media being blamed for real-life violence. Russell and Duane listen in the audience, but Duane is disinterested and talks over the speaker. In the cafeteria later, Russell and Duane are invited to a private party by a seductive goth girl.

Russell and Duane go to a secluded farmhouse for the party, along with other horror fans. The partiers drink keg beer and get to know each other before seemingly passing out.

Russell awakens with a girl named Karen in a cemetery, dressed as two leads from “Night of the Living Dead” and without a memory of how they got there. A zombie approaches and bites Russell’s throat while Karen runs away. She finds Duane, who has just awoken inside of a truck. She takes refuge in the farmhouse and tells Duane what happened. Disbelieving, Duane looks for Russell and then carries him back to the farmhouse after seeing the zombie. Karen hears voices coming from a vent leading to the house’s basement. Duane explores the top floor and finds a room where all modern technology has been stored. The rest of the house is made to look like it is the 1960s. Duane also finds the dead bodies of the farmer and his wife.

Duane decides to take Russell to a hospital in the truck but retreats to the house after three zombies approach. Duane has to leave Russell outside and the zombies tear him apart.

In the basement, Duane finds Karl with his wife and daughter, as well as Keith and Judith. The group discusses their situation and what to do next. Keith points out that they are unwitting participants in a recreation of “Night of the Living Dead.”

The original movie plays on an old television set in one of the rooms. Karl wants to take the truck and escape, but the group overrules him. Duane sneaks out from a top floor window and makes a run to the shed out back for tools. He kills one of the zombies by stabbing garden shears into its throat. Duane returns to the house. Keith adds that it is a good thing that Karl did not take the truck because it blows up in the movie.

Karl sneaks outside to hotwire the truck anyway. The rest of the group screams for him to stop, but he blows himself up.

Zombies enter the home. Most of the survivors retreat to the basement. A female zombie bites the leg of Karl’s wife before Keith stabs her through the back with the shears. Keith puts a pitchfork through the face of a clown zombie. Duane wrestles with another zombie before Keith chases him upstairs.

Upstairs, Keith finds another survivor named Owen. Duane believes he is out of place because he is not a character from the movie. Owen reveals that he was one of the zombies but had a change of heart. The zombies are actually psychopaths that are playing a role-playing game to live out a horror movie instead of simply watching one. They are using metal teeth to bite their victims. A zombie surprises them and kills Owen while the others escape.

In the basement, Keith and Duane pull a necklace off the clown zombie’s corpse and realize Judith has the same necklace. She says that she did not know what was going to happen. She was only paid to lure people to the party. Keith throws her outside where the zombies chase her.

Duane thinks Judith should be rescued. Keith objects and the two of them fight. Karen smashes the TV so that they will stop. Duane goes after Judith.

Judith hides in a car but two zombies capture her. She is brought to a basement where Alfonso Betz is also a prisoner. The zombies plan to stage a murder-suicide so that the film director will be blamed for the massacre as if he broke from reality and went insane. Betz rails against his captors before the lead zombie shoots him through the head.

Keith goes upstairs to retrieve the shears from a zombie’s body. He finds a cell phone on the body with footage of his girlfriend seen at the party being murdered. Another zombie records him as Keith squats over the body. Owen is still alive and grabs Keith. Another zombie comes and stabs Keith while streaming it on his phone to the other zombies. The lead zombie complains that the behavior is inconsistent with a Romero zombie.

Duane makes it to the basement and kills the zombie who was about to put an axe into Judith. The two remaining zombies go to the farmhouse. Karen tries to pitchfork one of them but the tool is wrestled away from her. While attacking the little girl, the mother puts a tool through the head of one zombie. Karen points a gun at the other zombie as Duane and Judith reenter. The lead zombie gives an unremorseful speech before Judith approaches him with a kiss and then uses the metal teeth to bite his throat. Duane then shoots him. A news interview with a police officer wraps up the events.

In a futuristic dystopian society, citizens, known as "members", live under the Collective, the legislative body which monitors and controls the people's actions. Citizens are mentally stabilized and all emotions and most illnesses are eradicated, with emotion and sexual activity contrary to the society's rules, and conception is through artificial insemination via a conception summons.

Silas, a citizen, works as an illustrator for Atmos. Returning home one night, he sees two citizens detained by officials and is reminded of a purported epidemic of Switched-On Syndrome (SOS), a multi-stage "disease" that restores human emotions. Sufferers who do not take their own lives progress to stage four and are detained in the dreaded Defective Emotional Neuropathy Facility (the DEN), the Collective's institution, which no one ever leaves. The next day at work a suicidal employee jumps to his death and the emotionless workers coldly analyze the moment. Silas is the only group member to notice fellow worker Nia having an emotional reaction. Later in a team meeting, he again sees Nia's expression portray emotion.

The following day Silas becomes distracted during a conference at Atmos, falls asleep more often, and experiences a nightmare for the first time. He goes for a check-up and is befriended by an official named Jonas with stage 2 SOS. Silas is diagnosed with Stage 1 and is given a prescription. Nevertheless he worsens, as his drawings become emotional and his interest in Nia grows. One day he follows Nia into the bathroom and comforts her. She reveals that she has had SOS for over a year, hiding it to avoid discovery and ostracisation. On a different night in the bathroom, he kisses her, but hears Leonard, the company manager, and converses with him. Leonard spots Nia's workstation powered on and reveals that he has been monitoring Silas. Silas decides to get a job separate from Nia in a gardening section.

Leonard introduces Silas's replacement, Dominic, to Nia the next day. While conversing with Dominic she suffers a slight anxiety attack during the lunch break. At night while picking up their prescriptions Jonas invites Silas for a walk, and then discloses that he is part of a secret support group and offers help. He decides to go, where he meets fellow members Bess, Peter, Thomas, Gil, Max and Alice, and learns that the DEN's patients half of the time, mostly through encouragement, end their own lives. Nia then shows up at his apartment and they have sex, agreeing to spend more time there. Thereafter, the Ashby ENI cure for SOS is announced and successfully created. Scared, the two decide to go to the Peninsula, a secluded, primitive section of land, to the bewildered support of the group, who warn them they can never return if successful. Jonas gives Silas instructions to ask for Oliver, a pilot, to fly him to the Peninsula. Silas and Nia make plans to go to Wellington, the closest location towards the border, on Saturday. However, Nia gets a conception summons and goes to the clinic, where she discovers that she is pregnant and so is taken to the DEN.

In a near-panic Silas visits Jonas about the situation, who tells him to stay calm and go back home. Depressed, Silas goes home and becomes saddened. Bess, upon hearing from Jonas and seeing that Nia was Stage 4, takes her to a room with Jonas and Gilead and they brief Nia on a deceased Stage 3 SOS patient, Eva. They then help her to fake her death by switching identities implants with Eva, so that Eva is considered alive and Nia is considered dead. She is successful and leaves the DEN but doesn't find Silas at his apartment. Meanwhile, Silas finds out that Bess, Jonas and Gilead were betrayed by Max, and were given the cure. He goes to the DEN where they tell him Nia died and so he contemplates suicide on a rooftop, but gets the cure instead. He returns to his apartment and finds Nia alive and that his treatment for SOS was in vain. They have only about five hours left before Silas' treatment takes full effect and eradicates his emotions. The next morning an emotionless Silas remembers her, having loved her and their escape plan but doesn't actually feel said love beyond mere remembrance. The following morning they nevertheless set their plan into motion. With Nia heartbroken and sitting well apart, they take the Wellington train and set off to the unknowns of the Peninsula. Some way into the journey, Silas moves to sit next to Nia and, remembering what they had been to each other, he moves to touch her hand and she responds to join their hands tightly together.

The story consists of a taped message from the leader of the country that launched a space station into a highly elliptical orbit around Earth. The station is equipped with ICBMs capable of reaching targets anywhere on Earth, to deter war through mutually assured destruction. As the story progresses, we hear the leader's instructions, interspersed with the reactions of the crew of the space station, who are identified only by their titles (e.g., "the First Radar Officer"). The reader learns that the message is one of many taped messages for various situations, that nuclear war has occurred on Earth, and that the country that controls this space station has been defeated and almost totally destroyed. The crew are prepared to destroy the enemy country, but their leader orders them not to do so, saying that, as half of mankind has been destroyed, to destroy the other half solely for vengeance would be "insanity, unworthy of reasoning men". In the last sentence of the story, we learn that this space station is controlled by the Soviet Union, and that the enemy was the United States.

The novel falls into two distinct parts covering two time periods – 1912 and 1917

1912

Elinor Brooke, student at Slade, is home for the weekend from her studies in London, along with her older siblings Rachel and Toby. She and Toby go walking out to the old Mill, something that they did, although forbidden, as children. While exploring the Mill, Toby and Elinor fall into a playful embrace, which becomes, at least on Toby's part, a passionate kiss, which he immediately regrets.

Although disgusted by his behavior, Elinor agrees to pretend that nothing has happened to the rest of the family. Nevertheless, she is distressed by what has happened, and goes to Toby's room that night to confront him. He wakes and pulls her into bed with him.

The next day Elinor's mother, while alone with her, tells her that Toby had a papyrus twin, a girl that died in the womb early, and whose corpse was slowly crushed by Toby's growing body.

Elinor returns to London, still disgusted with Toby and herself. She is distracted in her studies, which is noted by Tonks, her intimidating teacher at Slade. She begins an anatomy class at the teaching hospital to improve her skills. She is not repelled by this, but the situation is still awkward as Toby, a medical student, was going to tutor her in anatomy, but now a distance has grown between them.

This rift is solved by Toby's becoming very ill and ignoring his health while studying for his finals. Elinor nurses him, they both keep the incident from their family, and they mend their relationship somewhat.

1917

In the midst of the First World War, Elinor has returned to the family home. She has the feeling that Toby, a medical officer at the front in France, will not return home. Several weeks later they find out he is "Missing, believed killed." In denial about the War itself, and without a body located, Elinor cannot believe that the story she has been told is what actually happened.

Finding out that another former Slade student, Kit Neville, served under her brother, she writes to him to find out what happened, but he doesn't reply, which makes her think that there is something more to the story of her brother's death. She seeks the help of her former Slade lover Paul Tarrant, wounded in battle, and best friend Catherine, to find out what really happened to Toby, no matter what the truth is.

They find Neville at The Queen's Hospital, Sidcup, a hospital that exclusively treats facial wounds, and it is also where Tonks is working, using his skills as an artist to depict the wounds, and recovery through surgery pioneered by Harold Gillies, of the injured soldiers hospitalised there.

Neville is reluctant to tell Toby's story, and in the meantime Elinor agrees to join Tonks in helping to draw the patients there. Kit struggles through his surgery and recovery, slowly revealing to the reader, and finally to Paul, that Toby's cavalier attitude towards putting his men in danger by taking massive risks took his toll on Neville, and when he caught Toby having sex with a stable boy he reported him. His superior officer gave Toby a choice between court martial and 'doing the right thing', i.e. killing himself in No Man's Land and being labelled a hero.

Paul reluctantly tells Elinor about how her brother died, and is surprised that it brings her some peace. The Brookes sell the family home, further fragmenting them after Toby's death, and Elinor looks to her future as an artist.

Four mail order brides from New Orleans and a young girl conned into a non-existing job in Brazil find adventure, danger and romance in the jungle.

James convinces Eve she needs bass and drums to finish her songs. They and Cassie form a band, God Help the Girl, with some local musicians. Anton admits he never gave Eve's tape to the radio producers, saying she needs better production and musicianship, and they argue.

James discovers Eve's relationship with Anton and becomes distanced from her. Feeling alone, Eve takes drugs and returns to hospital. She tells James she plans to attend music college in London, and they reconcile. After God Help the Girl performs their final concert, the radio station plays Eve's tape. The next day, she leaves for London.

In the Spirit Realm, Grand Master Oogway fights against General Kai, a spirit warrior yak who has defeated all the other dead kung fu masters and stolen their ''chi''. Oogway has his own ''chi'' stolen, but not before he warns Kai that someone (Po) is destined to stop him. Kai takes this as a challenge, and returns to the Mortal Realm.

Meanwhile, Master Shifu announces his retirement from teaching, and names Po the Dragon Warrior as his successor. Po's first attempts to teach inadvertently injure the Furious Five, and Shifu advises Po should try to be more like himself and less like Shifu. Disheartened, Po returns home, where he meets Li Shan, a panda that both quickly realize is Po's biological father, who came to find Po after receiving a sign from the universe that his son was alive. The two immediately bond, much to the dismay and jealousy of Po's adoptive father Mr. Ping.

After introducing Li to Shifu and the Five, Po joins the Five to defend the Valley of Peace from Kai's jade zombies, the now-possessed remains of the past kung fu masters. Through research, the group learns that Kai and Oogway were once brothers in arms, and that Kai saved a wounded Oogway's life by taking him to a secret panda village to be healed. The pandas taught Oogway to give healing ''chi'' to others, but Kai learned to take chi from others for himself, forcing Oogway to banish him to the Spirit Realm. Li offers to take Po to the village to learn to use ''chi'' to defeat Kai, while Shifu and the Five prepare to protect the valley. Mr. Ping stows away, hoping to drive a wedge between Po and Li, but is soon discovered. Upon arriving at the village, Li refuses to teach Po ''chi'' until Po has learned to live the relaxed life of a panda.

Kai, hoping to erase Oogway's legacy, steals the ''chi'' of every living Kung Fu master except Tigress and destroys the Jade Palace. Tigress flees with the scroll containing Kai's backstory, tracks down Po, and tells him what happened. When Po demands that Li teach him ''chi'' immediately, an overprotective Li confesses that he lied about knowing ''chi'' out of fear of losing him again. Hurt by his father's misdirection, Po disowns Li and tries to train alone to defeat Kai, while a repentant Mr. Ping comforts Li and assures him Po will eventually forgive him.

After an argument with Tigress, Po admits he cannot defeat Kai alone. Li, Mr. Ping and the pandas ask Po to teach them Kung Fu. Realizing what previously made him fail as a teacher, Po trains them to not imitate him but instead to use their everyday activities as Kung Fu skills. Po and Li reconcile, and study the scroll Tigress brought in hopes of learning ''chi''.

Kai arrives and sets the jade zombies on the village. Po's students fight them, distracting Kai long enough for Po to attempt to use the Wuxi Finger Hold to banish Kai to the Spirit Realm again. However, Kai reveals that the trick only works on mortals instead of on a spirit warrior like himself and savagely attacks Po. To save the others, Po grabs Kai and uses the Wuxi Finger Hold on himself, banishing them both to the Spirit Realm. Infuriated, Kai binds Po and begins to steal his ''chi''. In the mortal realm, Li, recognizing that finding one's true self is the key to unlocking ''chi'', leads the others in giving their ''chi'' to Po. Rejuvenated, Po embraces who he is and uses his now-augmented ''chi'' to overwhelm Kai in the Spirit Realm, overloading him with chi and defeating him.

With Kai gone, the stolen Masters are restored to their respective realms. In the Spirit Realm, Oogway reveals that he sent Li a cosmic message explaining where to find Po. Oogway also reveals why he chose Po as the Dragon Warrior—as a panda, Po had the potential to become a master of ''chi'' and tie the past and future together. Oogway names Po his successor as Grand Master, and gives Po his mystic staff, which Po uses to return to the Mortal Realm. After reuniting with the others and thanking them for saving his life, Po takes on his new role at the restored Jade Palace, where all the pandas and the residents of the Valley of Peace learn kung fu and ''chi''.

"Sister" Sarah Jane Butler, a hymn-humming religious fanatic who believes God has chosen her to cleanse the world of those who have sex for pleasure, seduces a bar patron, and guts him after the two leave together. Sarah then drives to Los Angeles, and lures another man to his death, scrawling "God is Love, not Sex" on a mirror afterward. While busking and preaching on the street, Sarah befriends Penelope von Prut, a naive lesbian who is being supported by her wealthy and ashamed parents. Sarah moves in with Penny, who she takes on as a disciple, and inducts into "Sister Sarah's Sacred Order of the Sisters of Complete Subjugation" by tying her to a bed, stripping her, and teasing her with a knife as they sing "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah".

Sarah and Penny sing in the streets, make plans to create a television series that Sarah will use as a platform for her views, and intimidate Penny's tenants. Sarah has Penny lure a man home, and as he and Penny have sex, Sarah stabs him to death. Penny is horrified by the murder, but continues to obey Sarah. As Sarah and Penny prepare to dispose of the man's body, Penny's ex-girlfriend Junie visits, and becomes another victim when Sarah garrotes her with a scarf as she is having sex with Penny. Sarah and Penny dump their victims in the woods, where they spot a couple having sex. After the woman leaves, the man approaches Sarah and Penny, and after chatting with them, leaves with the duo, who will presumably kill him as well. A guitarist who had appeared throughout the film follows the group from afar, and sings "Evil Come, Evil Go" as the credits roll.

It has been seven hundred years since mankind colonized other planets. The powerful ruling class of humans has installed a rigid, color-based social hierarchy where the physically superior Golds at the top rule with an iron fist. Sixteen-year-old Darrow is a Red, a class of workers who toil beneath the surface of Mars mining helium-3 to terraform the planet. He and his wife Eo are captured after entering a forbidden area and are arrested. While Eo is publicly whipped for her crime she sings a forbidden folk song as a protest against the Reds enslavement. She is subsequently hanged on the orders of the Mars' Arch-Governor. Darrow cuts down and buries his wife's body, a crime for which he is also hanged. However, Darrow awakes to find that he has been drugged and delivered into the hands of the Sons of Ares, a group of Red and others who fight against the oppression of the "low Colors". Ares have adopted the video of Eo's song and execution as a rallying vehicle for their cause.

Darrow is given the chance to infiltrate the Society to bring it down from within. He is physically transformed by Mickey, a Violet "carver", who gives him the abilities and appearance of a Gold. Using a fabricated identity Darrow is accepted into the Golds' elite Institute, where he befriends Cassius au Bellona and alienates the arrogant Antonia au Severus. Darrow is selected for House Mars by Fitchner. To continue to the next stage, Darrow must complete the Passage, a test in which the 100 newly chosen students in each of the twelve Houses are paired with another house member and tasked to kill each other as a means to eliminate the weaker half. Darrow is forced to murder Cassius' brother Julian to survive, but Cassius can only guess who may have killed him.

Each House is assigned a fortress and a scepter, called a standard, to defend within the Institute's confines, with the goal of warring with each other until one House enslaves all others with the standard. Mars fractures into factions: one led jointly by Darrow and Cassius, one by Antonia, one by Titus au Ladros, and the antisocial Sevro going off on his own. To neutralize the violent Titus, who has been raping the female slaves left in Mars' fortress, Darrow manipulates House Minerva, led by the young woman he met briefly upon his arrival at the Institute and whom he has dubbed "Mustang". Mustang and her troops take the Mars fortress and imprison Titus. Sevro helps Darrow escape and capture Minerva's standard, which he trades to reclaim Mars' castle. Darrow takes over as the Primus (leader) of Mars, and Sevro and his group of "Howlers" declare their loyalty to him. Darrow realizes from the captive Titus' manner of speech that he is a fellow Red impersonating a Gold. To maintain his cover, Darrow allows Titus to be executed. Darrow captures Minerva's fortress and defeats their strongman Pax au Telemanus. Mustang reveals the existence of "the Jackal", the leader of House Pluto who is terrorizing other Houses. Antonia and some of Titus' former followers attempt to overthrow Darrow, but he manages to thwart their plan. Lilath, a messenger from the Jackal, secretly reveals to Cassius that Darrow killed Julian. Cassius challenges Darrow to a duel outside Mars' fortress, wounding him and leaving him to die.

Darrow is rescued and nursed back to health by Mustang. They begin to develop romantic feelings for each other as they flee to avoid discovery by Cassius, now Primus of House Mars. Conquered students are systematically "enslaved" by other Houses, forced by their honor to serve their conquerors. Darrow and Mustang begin to amass an army by recruiting many Oathbreakers, the wandering slaves who have chosen to disobey orders, with Minerva's standard. Darrow prefers that his captured foes swear their allegiance and join him, rather than serve him. Learning from his previous mistakes, he frees these slaves and takes responsibility for their actions to gain their allegiance. He gains the loyalty of the duplicitous Tactus au Rath when he accepts physical punishment on himself after administering the same to Tactus for unruly behavior. Sevro, who has led his team of Howlers to escape from Cassius and has now lost an eye, meets up with Darrow again to join forces. Darrow takes the fortresses of Houses Ceres, Apollo, and Jupiter, enslaving their members until the prisoners prove their loyalty to him. Fitchner reveals to Darrow that the other Proctors have been conspiring to assist the Jackal, who is actually Adrius, the son of ArchGovernor Augustus. Darrow exposes a prisoner taken during the surrender of house Jupiter as the Jackal after impaling his hand and offering him the opportunity to free himself by cutting it off. The Jackal slices off his own hand to escape and uses Darrow's shock as an opening, attacking him and killing Pax in the attempt; then escaping with the assistance of Proctor Apollo.

Enraged by the Proctors' deliberate efforts to hinder his victory, Darrow slays Proctor Apollo, and his army storms Mount Olympus, the floating palace of the Proctors using the flying boots gained from proctor Apollo. With the remaining Proctors subdued with the help of Sevro and the Howlers, Darrow sends Mustang to capture the Jackal, only to find out from Fitchner that she is Virginia au Augustus, the Jackal's twin sister.

A few days after Christmas, Steve Anderson, a former getaway driver, is released on parole from prison, with his parole officer, Ruth, informing him that she will consider any occasion where he misses his meetings with her as a violation of his parole and send him back to prison. Amid reports of reindeer wandering the streets of London, Steve is surprised when his son, Tom, calls him to claim that he has found Santa in his family´s garden shed. Steve responds to the call, but although Santa mentions a time Steve saw a shooting star as a child, he dismisses 'Santa' as a madman and sends him out of the shed. Alone, Santa tries to retrieve his reindeer from Battersea dogs home, but is caught when he tries to catapult one of them out and is sent to Lambeth prison.

The next morning, Steve appears for his first scheduled day with Tom, but Tom refuses to go anywhere but to see Santa at prison. Santa instructs Steve on how to find his reindeer, and hence his crashed sleigh, and in return Steve sends him to the barber who provides him with a few pointers on how to cope in prison. While Santa is asked to act as the Father Christmas for the local prison party, Steve finds the field in Richmond Park where the reindeer have been taken, with Tom establishing which reindeer is the leader, Dasher, as Dasher communicates through flatulence. They are able to find the sleigh, but when Steve calls Santa to update him, he accidentally releases all of the bright green magic dust the sleigh needs to fly.

Stuck for options, Steve agrees to go to Hermey's Tower in Suffolk, where Santa informs him that he will find help, based on a book in the sleigh's glove compartment, despite this trip meaning that Steve will miss his parole hearing. Despite such delays as difficulty hitch-hiking and a close call that forces them to steal costumes from a pantomime, they are able to reach Hermey's Tower, but are unable to work out what to do next.

Back at the prison, Santa manages to convince the other prisoners of his identity when they see letters hit the window addressed to Santa, followed by Santa recounting some of the last presents he left for the prisoners when they were children. However, when parole officer Ruth comes to prison to report Steve has missed his parole hearing, she not only identifies him as the man who stole Dasher, but also identifies Santa as 'Harry Mitchell', who was arrested while trying to climb down a chimney over twenty years ago but escaped en route to jail. However, the prisoners begin to acknowledge the truth when an emergency news report reveals that Australian children have woken up with no presents in their stockings.

With Santa transferred to solitary, Steve contemplates giving up, but Tom is able to translate a clue in the book to work out how to open Hermey's Tower, which is one of several receiving towers that pick up the letters to Santa and divert them to Lapland. Travelling through the letter-tunnel, Steve and Tom reach Elf City, where Steve convinces the elves to let him use an old sleigh to rescue Santa from prison while deploying a squirrel called Oswald to release the other reindeer, Steve arguing that those children who have woken up without presents may simply find them in other areas. They see that the green magic powder is used for creating the northern lights, that the reindeer walk on in the skies. Reaching the prison, they are able to use a magic slinky to enlarge a small chimney so that Steve and Tom can enter the prison.

At the same time, Santa is about to be transferred to solitary, but attempts a break-out with the aid of a dwarf prisoner known as 'Sally', culminating in a fight in the prison gym that ends when Santa punches the guard responsible for supervising the transfer when he says he hates Christmas. As Santa and Sally attempt to break out through a tunnel, Steve writes a letter to Santa so that it will lead him and Tom to Santa, where they intercept Allison, Tom's mother, as she drives to the prison looking for Tom. When the police discover the car, Allison is forced to go along with the request to take them to a park, Santa buying time by using a gun loaded with reindeer droppings as a distraction.

They reach the park where Oswald has reassembled the sleigh and the reindeer, Santa inviting Sally to accompany him, just before the police and Ruth arrive. As Ruth asks why Santa would choose Steve to help him, Santa notes that Steve is commendable because he never stops trying, and reassures Tom that adults can make mistakes but just need a chance to believe in the magic of Christmas. With that, Santa takes off in the sleigh and departs for his night's work, wishing them all a Merry Christmas and thanking Steve and Tom for their help, expressing faith that the police will let him off once they see the truth.

Clash of Egos stars Ulrich Thomsen as Tonny, an aggressive husband and father so rage-addled that he got sent to jail for KO'ing a man in public. Tonny's wife, Tanja (Ellen Hillingso), grew humiliated and promptly divorced him, but Tonny luckily managed to swing occasional custody of his two children. On one of their prized afternoons together, Tonny and the kids hearken off to see the new Harry Potter movie, but run headfirst into the discouraging news that the film is sold out. With only one other option available to them at the cinema, the three must endure a thoroughly miserable afternoon at an über-pretentious experimental Danish film called "The Murderer," directed by the snotty passive aggressive artiste director Claus Volter (Nikolaj Lie Kaas). Frustrated, Tonny smashes a display case in the cinema lobby (and barely manages to escape re-incarceration for it), this leads him to lose his custodial session with his children's. Hence he decides to track Volter down for a refund of their cost for seeing the film. Tom finds Volter in a film set shooting final film of the trilogy. Volter pushes Tom in a frantic response, and lands on a litigation. Tom only asks for his money spend for seeing Volter's early film and wants to be the co-writer and co-director of Volter's new film. Volter finds this as disrupting his "artistic" expression, but compromises for his Producer (Kristian Halken). Tom with help of his love (Line Kruse) re-writes the whole script with the intention of making something enjoyable for him and his children. Volter tries to bring artistic interpretation to the film, but Tom, the producer and the lead actress (Mille Dinesen) dislikes it and follows Tom's way of commercial filming. Volter removes his name from the film and botches the editing of the film. The film appears to be jaunty and disconnected, but the critics love it and gives maximum rating. Volter finds the paradox in this and gives money to Tom as a debt he is paying for watching his previous film. Tom finally as any artist finds his film not as good as he expected and goes out with his love to see a decent film and plans to lead a quiet life.

The game is set in year 2074, after megacorporations have overthrown the world's national governments and taken control. Invisible Inc. is a private intelligence agency providing services to corporations, performing infiltrations using field agents and a sophisticated AI system known as Incognita.

At the start of the game, Invisible Inc. is compromised by corporate soldiers, which leads to the headquarters as well as most agents and assets being lost, with only the agency's leader, two agents, the player, Monst3r, and Incognita escaping. Incognita can only be hosted in extremely powerful computer systems and cannot survive outside of them for more than 72 hours, so it becomes the agency's task to use that time to prepare for their final mission, where they will try to infiltrate the enemy's headquarters to access the computer system and insert Incognita. But, once she's uploaded it turns out she has been planning to exterminate the megacorporations, and ends with her using satellites (equipped with orbital lasers) to destroy their headquarters, killing thousands of people in the process. Incognita defies her removal from the new host computer and allows the agency's leader to leave unharmed.

Meanwhile, the President of the United States is in the midst of brokering a historic peace treaty between the Israelis and the Palestinians, an event that El Ghadan is desperate to prevent. He demands that Bourne carry out a special mission: kill the President. If Bourne refuses, Soraya and her daughter will die.

Bourne must make a monstrous choice: save Soraya and her daughter, or save the President.

The episode starts with Katherine (Nina Dobrev) in Elena's body meeting Matt (Zach Roerig). She reveals to him right away that she is in fact Katherine. She explains that she wants him to tell her everything she should know about Elena so she will be able to pretend being her without anyone noticing. She then compels him to not reveal her secret.

A little earlier that day, Nadia (Olga Fonda) worries that Elena is going to turn up and take over her body and she informs Katherine that they have to make the transfer permanent. To do that, they need her body so she chains Katherine to the bed, in case Elena takes over and escapes, and she goes to the Salvatore house to ask for Katherine's body.

Damon (Ian Somerhalder) get rids of Katherine's body and tells Stefan (Paul Wesley) that Katherine is where she should always be. Nadia shows up demanding the corpse but Damon refuses to tell her where it is so she leaves without getting what she wants. In the meantime, Elena takes over while Nadia is gone and she gets free from the chains. Before she manages to call someone, Nadia comes back and she calls Katherine back. Nadia tells her that she did not manage to take her body back and Katherine says she will go to Tyler's (Michael Trevino) welcome party and find out where Damon buried it.

Aaron (Shaun Sipos) searches for Elena but he finds Caroline (Candice Accola) instead. She offers to take a message for Elena and he tells her that he cut off the funding for the vampire experiments and he apologizes for everything they went through because of the Augustine company. Aaron leaves but when he gets back to his home, Enzo (Michael Malarkey) appears and attacks him.

Stefan tries to get Damon and Elena back together and he asks Caroline's help. Caroline does not want to help him but when Stefan explains her that Elena is good for Damon since she makes him happy and that way he is not walking around killing people, Caroline agrees to help him.

Damon comes home and finds Enzo waiting for him on his couch with Aaron unconscious lying on the floor. When Damon asks him what does he want, Enzo tells him that he brought him the last Whitmore to kill him so the two of them start fresh. Damon tries to explain that he does not want to do it when Aaron wakes up. Enzo pushes Damon to do it but Damon breaks Enzo's neck instead and compels Aaron to leave town and never come back.

At the party, Katherine tries to learn where her body is. Stefan, thinking that she is Elena, tells her that Damon wants her back but she asks him if he knows where Katherine's body is because they should give her a funeral. Stefan says he does not know where the body is but that Damon said "he put her where she was always meant to be" and Katherine figures out where Damon put her body; at the tomb under the church where Damon thought she was all those years.

Katherine tries to say goodbye to everyone before she leaves the party so she can go to the tomb but Caroline wants to talk to her about what happened between her and Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Katherine is shocked hearing the news but when she sees Tyler standing a little far away, she starts talking about it so he can hear her. Tyler gets angry hearing that and he leaves the room leaving Caroline standing there not knowing what to do. She later tries to explain him but he does not let her, reminding her all the horrible things Klaus had done. Caroline does not leave and he shouts her to get out while he is ready to turn into a wolf when Stefan comes in and stops him.

Katherine gets to the tomb where she finds Nadia and the traveler who will cast the spell, along with the body. The traveler starts the process when Elena takes over and sees what is happening. She continues pretending she is Katherine till she figures out what to do. She finally attacks the traveler and Nadia and runs away before they complete the ritual. Nadia tells the traveler to finish the spell anyway, something that she does.

Elena finds Damon but Katherine takes over her body before she manages to tell him what Katherine is doing. Damon tries to get her back telling her that he messed up but Katherine, as Elena, tells him that the two of them are over for good and she walks away. She goes back to the tomb to find Nadia and tells her that she does not want to leave Mystic Falls but stay and get Stefan back.

The episode ends with Enzo and Damon catching up on Aaron who was trying to get out of the town. Aaron tells Damon that he asked him to go away so he will be safe but Damon, after "Elena's" rejection, decided that he has to go back to his evil self and kills him.

The film starts with a monologue by an unnamed narrator explaining the synopsis of the film with images from the end of the film. Emeka Nwosu (Ramsey Nouah) is stuck in a traffic jam caused by the death of a pedestrian, when his concubine, Isabella (Tunde Aladese), sends him a text reminding him to get home early so they can have fun together. City hustlers Charles (OC Ukeje) and Chichi (Gold Ikponmwosa) arrive at the scene, and as a fight breaks out on the crowded road Emeka is knocked down and his phone falls out of his pocket, and after Emeka walks away unknowingly, Charles steals it. Bello (Ali Nuhu) is a diligent and honest civil servant, whose only "crime" at the office has been his refusal to partake in any of the corrupt practice by his co-workers. His raucous boss uses every opportunity to disrespect him. During a workday, Bello is given more jobs to do by his colleagues after work hours. He reluctantly accepts and is subsequently abused by his boss for not finishing the job on time despite his explanations.

Charles and Chichi review the pictures on the stolen phone and try to reach an agreement on what to do with the phone. The two friends force their entry to the car of a publisher by breaking the wheel-screen, and steal the stereo. They buy some drinks with the money they got and begin discussing on their interpretation of ''The Lion King'' as seen by Africans. Emeka notices that his phone has been stolen and tries calling his number, but is told by Charlie that due to "The Circle of Life" in ''The Lion King'' ownership has been passed on to them from him. He furiously disengages from the conversation on the resistance of the friends to start a meaningful conversation. He is calmed by his concubine Isabella afterwards.

Babajide (Tony Goodman) is the head publisher of ''Righteous Trumpet Newspaper''. During a family dinner he explains the car robbery he faced and is surprised that both his wife and kids did not condemn the act by the thieves with complete disdain—instead, a sociological debate starts between him and his son, Kola (Nathaniel Deme) who is shifting the blame from the thieves to the government. His mum introduces another topic to end the heated debate since neither side will let go.

Charles persuades Chichi to accompany him to a drug dealer, Muri (Toyin Oshinaike). Charles had previously had sex with Muri's sister but Chichi is negligent and wants to visit another dealer at "Abbatoir". He later retires then follows Charles. They buy drugs worth N200, and as Muri's sister walks outside and Muri notices Chichi facial expressions towards her, Muri tells them that his sister is about to get married . Charles and Chichi have a reflective discussion while having a cigar when Chichi informs Charles that he will be relocating to Bauchi State to start a new life with his uncle. Charles gives him the stolen phone as a farewell gift.

The two friends interrupt the sexual intercourse between a disturbed Emeka and Isabella with a call, and they start to negotiate a ransom for the recovery of the phone, while Emeka's wife waits for him at home. Kola's sister, Doyin (Yachat Sankey) sneaks out of the house to attend a party and persuades Kola to promise not to tell their parents. At the party, Charles drugs Doyin's friend, Fola (Lisa Pam-Tok) then the power goes out and he rapes her. Chichi refuses to use drugs on Doyin and opts to get her number instead. Police raid the party and arrest many including Charles. At home, Babajide tries motivating Kola with some fatherly advise and explains to him that he needs to start taking responsibility to become a man. He instructs Kola to join him at his office the next day.

At home we see that Bello's wife is Isabella, and he questions his wife on her whereabouts the previous day. She feels irritated in the course of their argument, especially at his mention of lack of money as the reason for them not wanting to have a child. On his way to work the next day, Babajide and Kola engage in a father-son conversation, and Babajide narrates his life-story on how he was able to overcome challenges during the civil war and establish his company. He gets distracted then splashes muddy water on Bello, who is walking along the road. Bello reacts angrily by throwing a stone at the car and regrettably breaking the back-screen. Babjide refuses to accept any compensation or apology from him and decides to take him to the Police Station explaining to him that as a good example to his son, whenever crimes are committed, it should always be a matter for the police. As he zooms off with Bello in his car, the sticker on his car reads "I am an Ideal Citizen, what about you?". Bello refuses to bribe his way out of jail at the request of the corrupt policemen and is placed in the same cell as Charles. Babajide introduces Kola to his staff at the office and tells him to write an article on the decline of the moral level in the society, using his ordeal (with the thieves and Bello) as a guide, even though he had previously told him to write on the power supply.

After some hours, the police release Bello, having encountered difficulty in extorting money from either him or Babajide; however they refuse to help him find his wallet, which is later revealed to have been stolen by Charles in the cell. Afterwards he is set free after his Parole Officer warns him that he will not be given a second chance if he breaks the law again. He sets out to his father's house, where the nagging of his mum about his way of life drove him out. Charles and Chichi meets on a hill, where they discuss the previous night and their encounter with the ladies. They call Emeka and threaten to blackmail him by telling his wife of his extra-marital affairs, if he does not yield to their demands. Doyin informs Kola that her friend is missing and he should come to her rescue. Kola leaves his dad's office to assist her in finding Fola. After searching for some time, they find Fola by the road then take her home to an apprehensive dad, Adekunle (Toyin Alabi) who swore to kill whoever was responsible for the rape. Isabella informs Emeka that she is pregnant, and he refuses the pregnancy and advises her to return to her husband. Babajide consults many of his colleagues to examine if his suspicion that Kola is gay is true. Bello angrily abandons his work after getting fed-up with the kind of treatment he has been subjected to by his boss and colleagues. Adekunle gets the address of Emeka through his phone number (from Chichi). He consults Bello's office and pays his way to get the personal details of the owner of the phone.

Emeka narrates his phone theft story to his wife, Irene (Yewande Iruemiobe) and she discourages him from paying the ransom. On his way out to meet Charles and Chichi, he is stopped by Adekunle, who slaps him severely thinking he is Chichi. After some explanations from Irene, Adekunle lets Emeka go but takes the ransom from him. Babajide questions Kola, and stylishly tries to get him to speak about his view of sexuality. Kola's responses suggest that he is unsure about what he feels about his sexual attractions, and so his dad immediately takes him to Muri in order to be cleansed of homosexuality. Bello's wife Isabella tries to impose her pregnancy on him, but he refuses citing "lack of sex" as a reason. He later sees messages that implicate Isabella on her phone.

Charles and Chichi are discussing with Muri on how they will extort money from Emeka at their meeting in Shayi's. Muri also tells them that he was paid N115,000 by Adekunle for a firearm. Kola and his dad arrive at Muri's bar explaining their ordeal to him. He responds, requesting that his "nurses" cleanse Kola of homosexuality. Bello arrives at Shayi's and suspiciously approaches a man, who he mistakenly thought was Emeka. Adekunle also arrives the scene then shoots Chichi (thinking he was Charles) who was seated with Charles close to the entrance of the restaurant.

When they stop to ask a question, Tyreese turns around and is revealed to be carrying a still-alive baby Judith Grimes. As night falls, they find a clearing to relax in. Tyreese feeds Judith, while Lizzie sits on a nearby log, home to three baby bunnies. She quietly removes her knife and kills all three of them. The group is forced to flee after hearing walkers nearby.

The next morning the group finds a grapevine and begin picking the grapes. Mika is startled by a noise in the bush and runs off as Tyreese is changing Judith's diaper. Tyreese and Lizzie give chase, and find Mika several minutes later, hiding behind a tree. As the group recollects themselves, they hear screaming in the distance. Tyreese leaves the girls, saying he has to go investigate and they should keep an eye on a crying Judith. Lizzie covers Judith's mouth to muffle her cries. A pair of walkers nonetheless begins to close in. Mika attempts to warn her sister, but Lizzie is seemingly lost in trying to quiet Judith, and begins to slide her hand up over the baby's nose as well.

Tyreese comes upon a walker attack by a set of railroad tracks. Two men, Christopher (Cameron Deane Stewart) and another man (Michael Harding), are fighting off a group of walkers. Tyreese kills the walkers but is unable to prevent both men being bitten. He then hears Mika's handgun fire off in the distance. As Tyreese begins to head back for the girls, the three of them, along with Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride), walk out of the bush. Tyreese welcomes her back, unaware of her exile by Rick. Before he dies, the older man (who later attacks Daryl and Beth as a walker), tells Tyreese about a sanctuary up the tracks. The group follow the track, and come upon a sign promising 'community for all' at a nearby place of safety.

Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan), Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.), and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) are in the woods by a quarry. Maggie sharpens her knife on a rock, while Sasha bandages Bob's shoulder. Sasha tells Maggie they should camp there for the night. Maggie however sets off in search of Glenn, reluctantly followed by Bob and Sasha. Sasha is angry/upset at what she sees as a waste of time; Bob, however, argues that the search gives their lives a purpose beyond mere survival. While walking, they come across the prison bus, which is shot up and filled with walkers who are prison survivors who either died in the shooting or were attacked and turned by those who did. Maggie insists on checking to see if Glenn is inside. After Bob says they'll do it together, and Sasha reluctantly agrees, Sasha opens the emergency door with the intention of allowing one walker to exit at a time. Eventually, the press of walkers trying to exit the bus proves too much, and Sasha can no longer hold the door. As the walkers attack, Bob and Sasha are forced to defend themselves. Maggie initially seems dazed, and is nearly killed by a walker before Bob intervenes. She then becomes enraged and begins to kill the walkers, repeatedly smashing a female walker's head into the bus before stabbing it. Maggie then goes onto the bus to see if Glenn is inside. After killing a walker that had been stuck inside, she sits down and begins to cry.

After awakening on a prison walkway that was destroyed by the tank, Glenn Rhee calls for Maggie. Despite his initial despair, he collects some clothes and supplies, including Bob's bottle of brandy, puts on riot gear, and then pushes his way through the walkers. After escaping the crush, he sees Tara Chambler (Alanna Masterson), who has locked herself behind a fence. Glenn joins her and, after checking to see that her weapon was not fired during the attack on the prison, tells her they should go. Tara refuses, saying that she joined the prison attack and is thus responsible for its outcome. However, Glenn insists he needs her help. Glenn grabs Bob's bottle of brandy and, using it to create a Molotov cocktail, throws it to ignite a car. While the walkers are distracted by the fire, Glenn and Tara escape the prison and reach the road near to the prison bus.

Tara describes seeing her sister Lilly Chambler (Audrey Marie Anderson) being swarmed by walkers on the field outside the prison, and reveals Hershel's death to Glenn. She tells him "Brian" (David Morrissey) had told her the prison group were bad people. She'd believed him but sees now that wasn't true, and she cannot understand why Glenn would want her help. Glenn explains that he needs to find Maggie. After a small group of walkers attacks, Glenn collapses, wheezing, leaving Tara to tackle a walker on her own. She looks up to see a military truck has pulled up. Tara yells at the truck and three people climb out: Sgt. Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz), Dr. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt), and Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos). Abraham says to Tara, "You got a damn mouth on you, you know that? What else you got?"

In wake of their escape from the walker-overrun prison, Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Glenn (Steven Yeun) are picked up by Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), Rosita (Christian Serratos) and Eugene (Josh McDermitt) in their military vehicle as they drive north. After recovering from the past day, Glenn insists that Abraham stop so that they look for Maggie and other survivors from the prison. Abraham refuses, stating that he and Rosita are on a mission to bring Eugene to Washington D.C., as Eugene, a scientist, says he knows how to stop the walkers once there. Glenn and Abraham get into an argument, drawing a small group of walkers towards them. As they start to fire upon the walkers, Eugene fumbles with his weapon and accidentally shoots the truck's gas tank. With the walkers dealt with, they are forced to abandon the truck. Glenn and Tara head south to continue their search for other survivors from the prison; Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene decide to join them heading south until they are able to find a new vehicle.

Meanwhile, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Carl (Chandler Riggs), having regrouped in an abandoned home, are eating breakfast, when Michonne makes a comment about soy milk for their cereal; Carl replies he would rather have baby formula than soy milk, but this causes him to recall the apparent loss of his newborn sister Judith, and he leaves the table. Rick thanks Michonne for trying to help and being a friend to Carl. Later, Carl and Michonne decide to go on a supply run; Rick tries to come but Michonne orders him to get some rest to recover from his injuries. Rick goes to bed in an upstairs bedroom as they leave. Michonne and Carl bond more during their run, with Carl learning about Michonne's son Andre that she had lost in the apocalypse. In one house they come across a children's room where the family appeared to have committed suicide together. Recalling her son and her sad memories, Michonne blocks Carl's view of the room, though Carl offers that Judith and Andre are in heaven together.

Meanwhile, Rick is woken by noises in the house, discovering a small band of scavengers are inside. He hides under the bed as one, Tony (Davi Jay) takes a nap on it. Another scavenger, Len (Marcus Hester), demands Tony give up the bed, having no claim to it. The two get into a fight, during which Tony spots Rick under the bed. Before Tony can issue a warning, Len knocks him unconscious and then falls asleep. Rick sneaks out when the other scavengers shout on discovering signs of Michonne's freshly washed clothes, believe a woman to be nearby. Rick is trying to flee the house but he gets discovered by another scavenger, Lou, in the bathroom. In order to stay hidden and undetected by the other members of the group, Rick quickly fights Lou and begins strangling him. Although Lou attempts to grab a pair of scissors on the nearby counter to stab Rick with, Rick ultimately strangles him to death before escaping out the window. Rick climbs out from the house to try to sneak away but his path is blocked by Joe (Jeff Kober), their lookout. As he spots Michonne and Carl returning, Rick is about to make a distraction when shouts from inside, due to Lou having become a walker, draw Joe's attention away, allowing Rick to run and warn Michonne and Carl away.

The three continue travelling and encounter a sign near railroad tracks, stating that "sanctuary for all" lies down the ways of the train tracks.

Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Beth (Emily Kinney) have regrouped after fleeing the prison. After some days of traveling, Beth tells Daryl she wants to take a drink of alcohol, something her father Hershel refused to allow her to do. Daryl doesn't respond, and she storms off on her own, but runs into a group of walkers. Daryl races to rescue her, though Beth complains she could take care of herself. As they travel, they come to a country club. Defending themselves from walkers while working through the corpses in the pro shop and clubhouse, they eventually make it to the bar, where Beth finds a half-filled bottle of peach schnapps. She asks Daryl if it's a good thing to drink and he says "No." Daryl then takes and smashes the bottle, telling her it is no good and that if she is going to have a first drink, it needs to be something better than that.

They leave the clubhouse for a rundown house Daryl had found earlier while with Michonne. After securing the area, Daryl brings out a case of moonshine for Beth. Beth is hesitant, as her father had told her that the wrong kind of moonshine could make her go blind. Daryl assures her this is good moonshine. As she drinks, she tries to encourage Daryl to join her, but he refuses, desiring to stay sober to protect them. However, he eventually succumbs when Beth has him join in a game of "Never have I ever", during which Beth challenges Daryl in some painful ways. In his intoxication, he becomes upset and belligerent. He drags Beth out to where a walker is approaching, and uses his crossbow to pin it to a tree; he then tries to teach Beth how to use the crossbow to kill it but Beth insists on using her knife. The two begin to argue, Daryl calling Beth a "dumb college girl", while Beth accuses Daryl of not caring anymore. Daryl breaks down, believing himself responsible for Hershel's death as he had failed to kill The Governor when he had a chance. Beth embraces Daryl as he cries.

After some time, a more sober Daryl tells Beth about the difficult times between himself and Merle as children. Beth gives him confidence that he will survive, and that he needs to put his past behind him or it will kill him. Together they agree to burn down the house as a figurative way to move forward. They watch from a distance as the house goes up in flames, both laughing and flipping off the house before turning away and leaving.

A flashback shows Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) wandering on his own. One day he is approached by Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Glenn. After asking Bob the three questions to be able to join the prison, Daryl lets Bob come with them.

In the present, Bob, Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) are staying together after the prison attack, Maggie insisting they look for Glenn. Bob is almost bitten in a walker attack, but the wound only rips at his bandages. Sasha, who has come to appreciate Bob, is relieved. As they travel, they discover a sign near train tracks directing them to sanctuary at Terminus. Bob recalls a radio broadcast he had heard on a supply run about Terminus and suggests they go there; Maggie agrees, believing Glenn may have made it there too. Sasha, believing they should look for other signs of Glenn's survival, concedes to the others. When they set up camp that night, Maggie decides to go off on her own, leaving a note to the others she feels it is too dangerous for them to join her. The two set off to follow her. They find another sign for Terminus, along with a blood-written note from Maggie to Glenn telling him to go to Terminus, and know they are on the right track. Sometime later, they arrive at a small rail town, but there is no sign of Maggie. Sasha suggests they could make this a permanent camp but Bob refuses, wanting to continue to Terminus. After kissing Sasha, he leaves on his own. Sasha, while watching him depart, spots Maggie's body amid a pile of walker corpses. In her surprise, she knocks out a window, luring walkers nearby. Maggie, who had only used the walker corpses to mask herself while sleeping, wakes up and helps Sasha kill the walkers. They agree to catch up to Bob and continue to Terminus. Later, Glenn also sees one of the signs for Terminus.

Elsewhere, Daryl teaches Beth (Emily Kinney) how to track and use his crossbow. When a walker surprises them, they turn to flee but Beth gets her foot caught in an animal trap, and Daryl is forced to carry her. They come to a large house that overlooks a graveyard. Daryl secures them inside and they discover it is a surprisingly well-kept funeral home; the rooms are clean, there is a supply of food, and various dead walkers are dressed in formal wear as if for a funeral. Daryl believes someone has been keeping the place but cannot find that person. They take some of the provisions, and Beth leaves a note thanking their provider. As they wait out the night, Daryl hears a dog barking at the door, but when he goes to see, the dog runs away. Some time later, the dog barks again, but when Daryl answers the door, a group of walkers flood the house. He holds back the horde giving Beth time to escape out a back window before he follows. He exits the house just in time to see a car driving off with a white cross on its rear window. Seeing Beth's bag nearby, he realizes she has been abducted and tries to chase down the car to no avail. After a while walking, Daryl collapses to then find himself surrounded by several armed men, the same group that previously invaded the house in which Rick, Carl, and Michonne were staying. Their leader Joe (Jeff Kober) gets everybody to lower their weapons, and asks Daryl to join their group.

Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman), Carol (Melissa McBride), and sisters Lizzie (Brighton Sharbino) and Mika (Kyla Kenedy) continue their journey to Terminus along the railroad tracks, while caring for Rick's young daughter Judith. Carol and Tyreese are concerned for the survival of the sisters, as Mika is too gentle and Lizzie appears to not understand what walkers are. They spot a walker get trapped by his legs on the train tracks, and Lizzie pleads with Tyreese to spare it, as it no longer represents a threat. Nearby, they find an abandoned home in a pecan grove, Carol suggesting they may want to rest there a few days. While Tyreese and Carol clear the house of walkers, a walker approaches the sisters; Mika is quick to shoot it in the head, while Lizzie looks on in tears. They secure the perimeter of the house and settle in.

The following day, Carol sees Lizzie attempting to play tag with a walker, and she runs out and kills it. Lizzie becomes upset and yells at Carol for having killed her "friend". Later, Carol takes Mika to hunt in the forest, but Mika finds she cannot bring herself to shoot a deer. When they return, they find Tyreese has managed to get the water pump working, and he suggests they may want to settle here permanently. Later that day, Lizzie and Mika go back to the train tracks, and Lizzie feeds the trapped walker a mouse; she moves in closer, preparing to let the walker bite her, telling Mika that the walkers "want [her] to change", but a group of walkers suddenly appear and the two flee back to the house. Their screams prompt Carol and Tyreese outside and the four eliminate the walkers. Later that evening, Carol talks with Lizzie about why the walkers are dangerous and why it is necessary to kill them. Lizzie says she understands now what she needs to do. Mika says she does not want to "be mean" by killing people and Lizzie tells her you have to, but only sometimes.

Carol and Tyreese leave Judith in the care of the sisters as they go hunt. Upon their return, they find that Lizzie has stabbed Mika with a knife, killing her. Lizzie, looking happy, assures Carol and Tyreese that it's okay because "she'll come back". Lizzie tries to prevent them from interfering by holding a gun on them, insisting that Mika will be okay since she did not stab her brain. Carol calms Lizzie down enough to take the gun away, and asks her to take Judith and go inside with Tyreese while she ties Mika up so she doesn't wander away. Lizzie says she was about to do the same to Judith but Carol calmly points out that, as an infant, she can't even walk yet. Lizzie agrees and goes inside with Tyreese. Carol starts to cry as she mourns over Mika and slowly pulls out her knife to put her down for good. Later, Carol and Tyreese discuss what to do with Lizzie; he reveals Lizzie admitted to luring walkers to the prison fence using rats as bait. It was also Lizzie who made the bizarre splayed rabbit effigy back at the prison. Tyreese wonders if she was the one responsible for killing Karen and David but Carol professes that Lizzie is innocent; however, her uncertain grasp on reality means she still poses a threat to Judith and others. Tyreese offers to take Judith and continue on to Terminus but Carol suggests that it would be unwise to divide their group. They both conclude Lizzie is too dangerous to be around other people. Tyreese says he cannot kill a child, leaving the onerous task to Carol.

The next day, Carol asks Lizzie to come outside to gather some flowers for Mika. Lizzie realizes Carol is upset and thinks it is because she'd pointed a gun at her. Lizzie starts crying and saying she was sorry but Carol, now crying also, insists she look at the flowers. She draws a revolver and shoots Lizzie in the back of the head, and buries the sisters' bodies. She returns to the house and gives the gun to Tyreese, admitting she had killed Karen and David to prevent the spread of an infection at the prison. She tells Tyreese to do whatever he feels he needs to do. Seeing that the taking of another life affects Carol deeply, he says he won't forget but he forgives her because it is not a decision she makes lightly. The next day, Carol, Tyreese and Judith leave the house and continue towards Terminus.

Glenn (Steven Yeun), Tara (Alanna Masterson), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), Rosita (Christian Serratos), and Eugene (Josh McDermitt) follow railroad tracks and come across another sign pointing the way to Terminus, and Glenn discovers a note left by Maggie to him, telling him to travel to Terminus. They continue on, passing a small town, where Eugene is almost hit by a falling walker corpse falling from a roof before Abraham pushes him out of the way; the incident causes Tara to injure her foot. Abraham argues it is too dangerous to cover for Eugene, but Glenn allows them to use his riot suit to help protect Eugene if Abraham will continue on with them. Abraham agrees, and they find a usable vehicle and some supplies to continue.

They come to a train tunnel, and Glenn sees another note from Maggie. He insists they need to go through the tunnel, but Abraham will not risk Eugene's life as there are sounds of walkers from within it, and decides it is time to part ways. He provides Glenn and Tara some supplies and flashlights, and tells them to retreat to the road if they get stuck, before they drive off. In the tunnel, Tara apologizes to Glenn, believing her actions in trusting The Governor led to the death of many of Glenn's friends, including Hershel, Maggie's father. Glenn accepts her apology, but then they are suddenly set on by walkers. Tara's injury slows them down and they appear trapped when suddenly Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), and Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) appear from the opposite end of the tunnel, along with Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita. They clear out the walkers to allow Glenn and Tara to escape. Glenn and Maggie have a tearful reunion, and then proper introductions are made. Tara keeps quiet about her role in Maggie's father's death. While Abraham insists they continue to Washington D.C., the collective group, including Eugene, agree they should finish the trip to Terminus, as their friends may also be there. The merged group finally reach Terminus, a secured trainyard, and enter with ease. A woman named Mary (Denise Crosby) welcomes them and offers them some meat.

Elsewhere, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Carl (Chandler Riggs), and Michonne (Danai Gurira) are also following the train tracks towards Terminus, sharing a candy bar between them.

Meanwhile, Daryl (Norman Reedus) has been forced to travel with the Claimers, led by Joe (Jeff Kober). Daryl gets into a confrontation with Len (Marcus Hester) over a claim on who shot, and thus owns, a rabbit, and Joe informs Daryl of the rules, then splits the rabbit's meat between them. That night, when they rest, Len sneaks his half of the rabbit into Daryl's bag, and feigns the next morning that Daryl took it. Joe, however, reports he saw Len frame Daryl, and drags him away to beat him up. Joe returns alone and instructs the others to pack up and move out. As they walk away, Daryl sees Len's dead body, an arrow struck through his head. They come across the train tracks and walk over the candy wrapper left behind by Rick's group.

Flashbacks through the episode take place during the groups' time at the prison. Over an undetermined period, Hershel (Scott Wilson) helps Rick (Andrew Lincoln) to recognize that he has taken a violent, callous attitude towards protecting his group, and reminds him of how this has impressed on his son Carl (Chandler Riggs), nor allowed him to spend time with his infant daughter Judith. Rick comes to take Hershel's advice, and these scenes end with Rick deciding to put down his gun, take up farming alongside Carl, and enjoy time with the members of his group.

In the present, Rick, Carl, and Michonne (Danai Gurira) follow signs along the tracks to Terminus. They hear cries for help and find a lone survivor surrounded by walkers. Rick warns them about conserving their ammunition and determines there is too much to risk in saving the man, leaving him to die.

That night, they are ambushed by Joe (Jeff Kober) and his gang of Claimers, whose number also includes the reluctant Daryl (Norman Reedus). Joe had been tracking Rick's group for some time, seeking revenge on Rick for killing one of his own. Joe holds Rick at gunpoint, and Daryl (who was unaware it was Rick's group being tracked) tries to convince Joe to not harm his friends. Joe refuses Daryl and has two of his men secure him before turning his attention back to Rick. Joe says that the Claimers are "reasonable men", but in revenge, he will have Daryl beaten to death, sexually assault Carl and Michonne, and then kill Rick after he is forced to witness this. One Claimer, Dan (Keith Brooks), prepares to rape Carl. Instinctively, Rick headbutts Joe, who fires his gun but misses, but the shot leaves Rick temporarily deaf. Joe wrestles and secures Rick, but Rick then bites into Joe's carotid artery and rips out his jugular vein, killing him and shocking the other Claimers. Daryl and Michonne use the moment to break free of their captors, killing the rest of the Claimers except Dan. Dan pleads for his life, but Rick stabs him with Joe's pocketknife and disembowels him, and then continues to stab him to death repeatedly, as Carl watches. Rick makes sure the others are safe, and he and Daryl reconcile, and Daryl explains that he got separated from Beth and is unaware of her fate.

Later, the four continue towards Terminus and soon come in sight of the train yard. Rick is concerned and decides to bury most of their weapons nearby before they enter. They are greeted at Terminus by brothers Gareth (Andrew J. West) and Alex (Tate Ellington), and they check their weapons before returning them to the group. Alex provides them with a tour of Terminus, providing them with food from their mother Mary (Denise Crosby). Rick notices inside Alex’s cargo pants pocket the silver chain of the pocketwatch that Hershel had given to Glenn (Steven Yeun) as his sign of approval for marrying his daughter Maggie (Lauren Cohan). Rick takes Alex at gunpoint and demands to know where he found the pocket watch. Gareth, observing from a distance, orders his men to attack, starting a large firefight. Rick uses Alex as a bullet shield, before he and the others are forced into a series of alleyways, and eventually into a closed-in area, where they have nowhere to hide from snipers. Gareth demands they drop their weapons, and the group is escorted into a boxcar where they find that the Terminus residents have already captured Glenn, Maggie, Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.), and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), along with new allies Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz), Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos), Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt), and Tara Chambler (Alanna Masterson). When they are locked in, Rick tells the others that "They're screwing with the wrong people."

The action takes place after the events of the series Univer. The dorm where the characters lived in the previous series got demolished and three students, Michael, Anton and Kusya move into a new dorm, where they are placed in a unit with three girls, Kristina, Masha, and Yana. The plot revolves around comedic situations and relationships formed among the students.
