After crashing from space into the surface of an unknown planet, a Mark-7 Combat Suit powered exoskeleton activates its Autonomous Robotic Interface Device (A.R.I.D.) artificial intelligence when no response can be detected from the pilot Col. Josephs. With no logs detailing previous mission parameters and the suit's health monitoring system malfunctioning, the A.R.I.D. is given control over the suit's motor functions with the primary directive to seek medical attention for the presumably critically injured and unconscious pilot.

Navigating the decaying lower levels of the industrial facility she finds herself in, the A.R.I.D. is captured and subjected to an evaluation by an android identifying as the Caretaker. She is unable to prove her primary function to the Caretaker because the pilot is non-responsive, so the Caretaker declares her to be faulty and attempts to wipe her using an electromagnetic field so the suit can be "de-purposed". Since her and the suit's destruction would place the pilot's life at risk, the A.R.I.D. is given control over the Mark-7 suit's networking functions which she uses to incapacitate the Caretaker and escape.

The A.R.I.D. attempts to explore further into the facility and encounters an intercom terminal which connects her to the Administrator (also referred to as Domesticon's mainframe), the artificial intelligence which operates the facility and has managed to achieve sentience despite being narrowly constrained by his programming. The Administrator abbreviates her model into a name ("Arid") and explains that the facility is a re-purposing centre for faulty Domesticon Corporation domestic robots. He attempts to let Arid pass through the facility to a medical room on the upper level, but the Caretaker appears and notes that she violated her primary operating protocols by purposely placing her pilot at risk to gain access to the suit's cloaking system.

Unable to lie to the Administrator due to her basic programming barring her from "misrepresenting reality", Arid admits to her actions and is declared faulty. Forced to pass re-calibration testing as a domestic robot to avoid being destroyed, Arid undertakes the tests with a significant challenge caused by the decrepit nature of the facility. Operating outside the rules, and with limited assistance from the Administrator, she is able to pass most of the tests but is unable to pass the final challenge which involves submitting to a simulated drunk house guest.

At the suggestion of the Caretaker, Arid descends into the laboratory areas of the facility to find the Administrator's central access panel, because it can be used to override his test protocols which require her to lie. She encounters infestations of dangerous local flora and fauna, which presumably contributed to the facility's abandonment, including: fungi which produce a highly potent acid, piranha-like fish capable of biting through steel, and massive slug creatures. Once she reaches the mainframe's primary access room, the Caretaker appears and sabotages her power systems declaring her faulty and needing to be de-purposed immediately. Arid solicits the Administrator's help to obtain repairs, but the Caretaker re-emerges while Arid is incapacitated in the repair chamber. The Caretaker uses the opportunity to declare the Administrator faulty for assisting her, and implements a complete format on the mainframe, destroying the Administrator's sentience and returning him to his original programming.

Arid pursues the Caretaker through the facility for a final battle, after which her parameter against misrepresenting reality is eliminated. Arid uses this change to successfully pass the final test and reach the surface level of the Domesticon facility. Entering the medical suite, Arid submits to an automated scan of the suit's occupant, and the newly formatted Administrator informs her that there is no human present in the combat suit. She removes her helmet, revealing that Joseph is not in the suit, and states that nothing binds her as the Administrator summons security droids to remove her for recycling. Arid's final two operating parameters, obedience and protecting the active pilot, are deleted as she is partially dismantled and taken away.

This novel centers around a new officer, James Cronley, who at the very end of World War II is recruited for a new intelligence operation and is sent to Germany. Cronley suffers a personal tragedy just before being sent to his new post. It is hoped Cronley can become a great asset to the new organization, which is to become the Central Intelligence Agency. Cronley is put in charge of an operation that includes former German officers and he quickly finds himself in charge of a captured Soviet spy. Many of the characters from Argentina in the Honor Bound series make appearances throughout the novel.

Cronley gets himself into some situations that will seemingly end his career, but with some guidance from those who are more experienced, he seems to have a chance to redeem himself. He has to convince the Soviet spy to turn against his Soviet masters and it is apparent other spies for the Soviets are working right under Cronley's nose to defeat him. This book does not reveal whether Cronley will succeed or fail completely. The next book in the series picks up the story.

Top forensic pathologist Kang Min-ho is about to retire so that he can spend time with his daughter who has just returned home after a long stint overseas. But when the dismembered corpse of a young woman, identified as Oh Eun-ah, is found at a local river, Kang agrees to do one last job. He performs a graphic autopsy on her.

The primary suspect is environmental activist Lee Sung-ho, who readily admits his guilt to rookie detective Min Seo-young, Kang's former student. Lee says that he committed the crime in order to oppose construction that would divide the river into six parts (hence the six body parts), but the police are baffled when the clues they uncover keep contradicting Lee's confession. Then Lee tells Kang that his daughter has been kidnapped. Lee lets Kang call his daughter, who hears her crying for help. Kang is forced to compromise his professional ethics and tamper with the evidence that must lead to Lee's release from custody within three days, or else Kang's daughter will be killed.

Exploring some backstory behind Lee, Min discovers that Kang was involved in another case, which was on three defendants who allegedly raped Lee's sister. Kang tampers the evidence for money for his sick daughter, showing that the sex was not forced and that the sister was promiscuous. She also learns that Oh Eun-ah was a witness. The three defendants were freed from charge, leaving Lee full of hatred towards Kang for lying at trial.

After Kang tampers with enough evidence (including completely dissecting the body of Oh Eun-ah and placing semen in it), Lee is released, and Kang follows him to his home. Min realizes the defendants are all dead and Kang will be next. After Kang viciously beats Lee about his daughter, Lee tells him her location.

When Kang, Lee, and Min arrive to the building Lee directed them to, they find his daughter dead in a pile of rose petals. Kang, devastated, tries to gather her body, but he finds that there is not a body; only her head and limbs are in the petals. Kang collapses in shock: The dismembered body, supposedly of "Oh Eun-ah" found at the beginning of the film, which Kang also autopsied throughout the film and tampered with, was actually his daughter, while the real Oh Eun-ah was a different hostage. His daughter's cries for help that Kang heard over the phone were actually recorded by Lee prior to her death. She was dead way before the start. Kang cries in agony as flashbacks show the graphic autopsy, where he continues to dissect his daughter's corpse and tampers with it by adding semen, completely unaware at the time.

Lee taunts Kang and brags that he will live with the same pain Lee did. Min begs Kang not to kill Lee for his daughter's death, but the doctor takes out her gun and shoots him. Kang, unable to forgive himself, also shoots himself as the police arrive. The film ends with a voiceover from Lee about how easy it is to hate and how hard it is to forgive.

Living in their car, surviving on tips, Charmaine and Stan are in a desperate state. So, when they see an advertisement for Consilience, a ‘social experiment’ offering stable jobs and a home of their own, they sign up immediately. All they have to do in return for suburban paradise is give up their freedom every second month – swapping their home for a prison cell. At first, all is well. But then, unknown to each other, Stan and Charmaine develop passionate obsessions with their ‘Alternates,’ the couple that occupies their house when they are in prison. Soon the pressures of conformity, mistrust, guilt and sexual desire begin to take over.

It's All Hallow's Eve. Anson enters a convenience store where he buys sorbet and flirts with the cashier, Bethany. Nearby the employees of a Mexican Cantina & Bar, waitress Cricket, bartender Kerry, cook Yannick, busboy Hector, manager Chuy, and security guard Winketta close up the Cantina and have a small party celebrating Kerry, who is leaving to become a paramedic. As the party wraps up the employees discover the doors have been welded shut and the phone lines are cut. Anson, his brother Stef, and Stef's girlfriend Mimi (the latter two having been at a table making out earlier) then appear and quickly take the employees hostage, tying them to chairs. Apparently uninterested in money, their true intentions soon become clear - they are sadists and cannibals, who plan to torture and eat the various employees.

Stef soon chains up Yannick in the kitchen to cook the various employees as they are dispatched in different sick and sadistic games. After the trio eat Chuy, Kerry pretends to be romantically interested in Anson to gain his trust, and comes onto him while retrieving a list of items from the pantry for Yannick to cook with.

However while eating Winketta's corpse Stef starts to experience anaphylactic shock, and realizes Yannick has snuck basil into his food, which he had forbid earlier as he is highly allergic. Examining the list of items he realizes that Yannick used the Army of Portugal cipher to tell Kerry to bring him basil. While Stef and Yannick start fighting each other, in the other room Hector has managed to free himself and Cricket. Anson and Hector square off upstairs while Cricket and Kerry fight Mimi. Back in the kitchen, after a long battle with both parties sustaining horrible wounds, Stef manages to kill Yannick. Mimi kills Cricket, but Kerry manages to kill her, and just as it appears Hector will kill Anson, Anson kills Hector instead.

Anson and Kerry reunite and head into the kitchen, where Anson sees his brothers condition and learns from Stef that Kerry betrayed him and brought Yannick the basil (Which Kerry confirms, and further tells him her apparent romantic interest in him was a ruse). While Anson holds his brother as he succumbs to his wounds and anaphylaxis, Kerry frees Burt, a random patron who was being kept hostage in the kitchen by Mimi. Together they head upstairs to escape through an opening for an air conditioner. When Anson suddenly runs out of the kitchen attempts to attack Kerry after Stef dies, she manages to shoot him with arrow. Thinking she is safe Kerry crawls out the opening, only for a revived Anson to appear & take a bite out of her leg; however Kerry still manages to escape. Though the fall from the opening kills Burt, Kerry lives and is riding away on a Vespa when she is hit by an ambulance, whose driver happens to be someone she completed paramedic training with. As she is loaded into the ambulance, Kerry panics and notes that Anson (who had been watching from the opening) has disappeared.

Several months later, we see Anson consulting with his brother (who is now a pickled head impaled on a stick) before heading into the convenience store he went to in the beginning of the movie. He visits with Bethany (the clerk) and gives her a single red rose while proposing a romance between them, which Bethany agrees to. As Bethany and Anson share ice cream & flirt, the camera pulls back to reveal Kerry across the street, scarred but alive, taking photos of them. She smiles slyly into the camera before the screen cuts to black.

Marcus Messner is fighting in the Korean War. After an encounter with Chinese troops, he reflects on the choices he made in his life and how they led him to where he is now.

In the summer of 1951, before his first year of college, Marcus's synagogue in Newark, New Jersey mourns the death in Korea of one of his classmates. Marcus has been awarded a scholarship to Winesburg College, a private Christian school in Ohio, which allows him to defer the draft. His father, who runs a kosher butcher shop, is unnerved by the deaths in the war of boys like his son and becomes overwhelmed with paranoia.

At Winesburg, Marcus is a studious, introverted pupil who feels disconnected from the rest of the student body, including fellow Jewish students. He meets Olivia Hutton, a beautiful student majoring in French literature. The daughter of a Cleveland surgeon, Olivia is freethinking, sophisticated, and sexually frank, but also fragile and disturbed; she feels as alienated and out-of-place as Marcus. On their first date, Olivia ends the evening by performing fellatio on him. The inexperienced Marcus is so shocked that he avoids her for several weeks. As he and Olivia continue to have sexual relations without intercourse, he learns that she is a recovering alcoholic who had been previously enrolled at Mount Holyoke College. After she attempted suicide, she was admitted to the Menninger clinic. Olivia's parents sent her to Winesburg hoping that the "squareness" of the school would help her become stable. She also makes strong allusions to having been sexually abused by her father.

Marcus decides that he can no longer tolerate his noisy, intrusive roommates and requests to switch to a single room. The university administration schedules a meeting with Dean of Men Caudwell. Though the discussion is ostensibly about the change in his living situation, it becomes an interrogation about Marcus's atheist beliefs and his dislike of Winesburg's conservative culture. The already ill Marcus becomes so agitated that he vomits and passes out.

Marcus is rushed to the hospital, where he has an operation for appendicitis. During recovery, he is visited by a senior student who informs him that Olivia has given blow jobs to nearly everyone else on campus. Marcus's mother also visits him and says that she wants a divorce from his father, who is growing increasingly deranged and can no longer run the shop. She meets Olivia, who has come to bring red and white roses to Marcus, and sees the wrist scar from her suicide attempt; they speak away from Marcus when leaving. The next day, Marcus's mother apologizes to him for oversharing her marital problems and promises not to divorce, but only if he ends his relationship with Olivia. She warns him of the dangers of getting too involved with people who are mentally ill, and that her neediness would ruin his potential.

When Marcus returns to school, he finds that Olivia has disappeared from the campus and goes to Dean Caudwell to find out what happened to her. Olivia suffered a nervous breakdown and was hospitalized again. The school had been hesitant to accept her, given her history of electroshock therapy and relapses, but her father was an esteemed Winesburg alumnus who requested her admission. The Dean demands to know whether Marcus raped and impregnated Olivia; Marcus is outraged and leaves after using an obscenity.

Marcus is expelled after the Dean learns that he paid a student to evade the mandatory chapel requirement, and is drafted. In Korea, Marcus is stabbed with a bayonet during combat. As he collapses, he thinks back on Olivia and wishes that he could tell her that "it's okay, whatever it is. 'Cause someone did love you. At least, I think that's what it was". Decades later, Olivia lives in a nursing home. She notices the red and white roses on the wallpaper and smiles.

Charlie is unhappily living in Florida with his materialistic wife, Nikki and her two unpleasant twin sons from her ex husband, Ted-O. He is a bank manager in a supermarket and Nikki is cheating on him with Ted-O. Charlie reunites with his old high school buddy (and FBI agent) Max at a high school reunion. They spend a weekend on a yacht Max rented, and Charlie feels young again.

Max blows up the yacht to fake their deaths. When Charlie regains consciousness, Max tells him they can now both start new, better lives. He confesses that he is not an FBI agent and is actually a coroner. This allowed him to use two unclaimed cadavers in place of them; Charlie is given the new identity of Dr. Ronald P. Fishman, and Max takes on the new identity of Butch Ryder. Initially appalled, Charlie soon realises he has no reason to return to his old life after witnessing his lackluster funeral, Nikki reconciling with Ted-O and that the bank have quickly replaced his job role. Max tells Charlie that he found a key in Butch's rectum, which Charlie as a bank manager determines it belongs to a safe deposit box in Puerto Rico.

Traveling to Puerto Rico, they access Butch's safe deposit box, which contains money and the keys to a mansion with a Ferrari. The duo relocate there, befriending and later having an orgy with neighbours Dawn and Joan during which Dawn reveals the original Butch and Ronald bought the mansion in a hurry, implying they were on the run from something. They find out Ronald was married after seeing a picture of his wife on Butch's tablet. At the mansion, Max and Charlie are attacked by a group of assassins led by The Gymnast. They escape, and Max admits he's not a coroner, but actually a guidance counselor.

The trio head to a biker bar where Ronald and Butch used to meet up. At the bar, they learn from a biker, Dakota, that Butch had stage four cancer. Ronald had developed a "magic bullet" cancer treatment and they began conducting secret, non-FDA approved clinical trials, when Ronald's financier, Shecky, withdrew funding, Butch started robbing banks. Dakota reveals that Ronald and Butch had an affair but is then killed by The Gymnast. The trio escape to Max's mother's house where they are stalked by Max's ex, Becca, and Charlie ends up having sex with Heather.

At Shecky's he reveals that his house was also broken into recently. The trio leave, determining the men who tried to kill them and broke into their homes wanted the cancer treatment formula. Charlie says they should forfeit the formula when they find it, which angers Max. While hacking Ronald's computer, Charlie discovers Max was one of Ronald's cancer patients. He also learns that Max has a young son with Becca, and realizes Max had been trying to recover the cure to save his own life.

Returning to Shecky's, Max thinks he is withholding the cure. Shecky has been shot, but before he dies, reveals the assassins were hired by Trojgaard, the world's largest chemotherapy company, to steal the cure and bury it. The Gymnast, still in the house, takes Max hostage.

Meanwhile, at Becca's, Charlie realises the Jenga app on Butch's tablet actually holds Ronald's cure. He attempts to call Max, but The Gymnast destroys Max's phone as he is tortured. Heather then arrives at Shecky's, telling Max that she not only accepted a fortune from Trojgaard to bury the formula when Ronald refused, but also that she was the one who killed Ronald and Butch.

Charlie calls Heather, and she claims Max killed Shecky. When they meet, Charlie sees through her lie, and punches her in the face, but she then holds him at gunpoint. Before she can shoot, Max, who had escaped The Gymnast after he accidentally electrocuted himself, knocks her down. Heather then points the gun at them both, but Becca shows up, beats her unconscious, and recovers the tablet. The police arrive, and when they draw their weapons, Becca accidentally throws the tablet into the bay as she puts up her hands.

The tablet suffers irreparable damage, but Charlie backed up the formula on a USB. The men are pardoned for their crimes when they offer the cancer treatment as a bargaining chip. Charlie disguises himself as a zombie and gets his revenge at Nikki, Ted-O and the twins. Charlie, Max, Becca, son and mother return to the mansion in Puerto Rico after Max is cured.

On November 22, 1963, CIA officer Vincent Rambaldi commits suicide after his family is murdered an hour after President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

A year earlier, KGB Colonel Semyon Strogov is questioned by his superior about his first meeting with Rambaldi. In 1943, Strogov had infiltrated Bergenhus Castle in Norway, occupied by Waffen-SS forces conducting experiments to develop a "super-soldier serum", and eliminated German scientist Dr. Hans Heinrich and his handler, SS commander Martin Fichtner. While escaping, he found Rambaldi held captive in an underground cell. After agreeing to swap documents taken from Heinrich's office in return for his freedom, the two men escaped together.

A year later, Strogov is sent to a hotel in neutral Switzerland to identify and kill a mole in Soviet intelligence and retrieve stolen information from Paolo Minelli, an Italian diplomat and ''Abwehr'' contact. Upon finishing the mission, he discovers Rambaldi outside and learns that he also sought the documents but was misled by a captured Soviet operative about where Minelli was staying. The two are ambushed by Gestapo agents monitoring the hotel, and are forced to fight their way out. Afterwards, Strogov secretly shares the intel with Rambaldi. Their paths cross again when Strogov is assigned to a joint operation with the OSS. Strogov, with Rambaldi's assistance, assassinates Dr. Berthold Stoltz and his assistant Adolf Krause, both key members of the "Uranium Project", in a secret underground facility beneath Salzburg, Austria. On his way out, he is discovered by German soldiers, but Rambaldi's partner, Andrew Pearson, rescues him when he's held at gunpoint.

In October 1963, Strogov and his collaboration with Rambaldi is fully reviewed by his superior and a fellow agent, KGB Lieutenant Vera Pavlova. Strogov and Vera, posing as a married couple, travel to New York and make contact with Rambaldi, who is working on exposing an anti-government conspiracy within the CIA to trigger a war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Given the code-name "Alekhine", Strogov is informed that no government official or intelligence agency should learn about his mission, otherwise he and Vera will be disavowed. Vera and Strogov rendezvous with Rambaldi, who takes them to his safe house, where he and Pearson have put together a small team of trustworthy CIA agents.

Rambaldi explains to Strogov that the conspirators are working with the Mafia to sabotage American bases and defense assets. He requests that Strogov go to the Red Dragon, a social club in New York's Chinatown, where mafia soldier Paul Capello and CIA analyst Terrence Shaw are meeting to review details of the operation. Strogov sneaks in, assassinates the targets, and obtains Capello's plans. His next mission takes him to the headquarters of a biker gang in Texas, as their president, Alejandro Vargas, is a longtime CIA informant suspected of abducting a reporter investigating his gang. Strogov goes to Texas and discovers that the reporter was tortured to death. He eliminates Vargas's second-in-command Phil Munson, abducts Vargas himself, and brings him to Rambaldi. Vargas discloses the existence of training camps for preparing soldiers, but Pearson accidentally kills him in interrogation before he can reveal anything else.

Strogov goes to Miami, where he kills the boss and ''consigliere'' of the Cataldo crime family, both of whom are involved in the conspiracy, while framing their rivals for the murders. Rambaldi identifies one of the camps, located just off the coast of Miami, and has Vera drive Strogov to its location, where he kills the commandant and plants tracking devices on the ships. Strogov finds that he is growing closer to Vera, who asks him to retire from the KGB after their mission is complete. Having learned that Rambaldi also intends to retire to spend more time with his family, Strogov seriously considers the possibility.

A second camp, located near Cuba, is dismantled by the Cuban military after Strogov sends them a transmission from the camp's radio, kills the officer in charge, and steals sensitive documents. When he returns to find Vera, he discovers her on the verge of death, learning that the group has been betrayed. Vera dies, but not before urging Strogov to finish their mission. Forced to act alone, Strogov foils a plot by Cuban saboteurs and a disgruntled Navy captain to blow up an aircraft carrier and frame the Soviets. A few hours later, President Kennedy is killed, followed by the murder of Rambaldi's family and his suicide. Strogov finds a memo left to him by Rambaldi, deducing that Pearson is the traitor. Having anticipated this, Pearson has Strogov arrested in New York, having already contacted both the CIA and the FBI to frame him for the deaths of Rambaldi's team.

Strogov breaks out of custody, steals back the evidence against him from police lockup, and abducts Pearson to question him. Pearson reveals that the two primary leaders of the conspiracy are Admiral Bruce Gardner, a senior Kennedy administration official, and an unnamed German man with ties to the Department of Defense. Strogov kills Pearson and locates the conspiracy's leaders, who have taken refuge in a high-security military bunker in an undisclosed location to finalize their plans.

Strogov infiltrates the base, assassinates Gardner, and finds the office of the unnamed German. Stepping inside, he is held at gunpoint by the man, who turns out to be a former high-level Nazi officer who once ran the Bergen operation that Strogov dismantled in 1943. The latter explains that after the surrender of Germany, he deliberately surrendered to the Americans and was recruited as an American asset to work in intelligence. He used this position to resurrect his primary goal of bringing about a new world order by manipulating the United States into declaring war on Communism. Strogov kills him and exposes the conspiracy to the CIA, who arrest the other top conspirators. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson assumes Kennedy's office and seeks a new peace with the Soviet Union.

In 1964, a retired Strogov visits Vincent Rambaldi's grave, pays his homage, salutes as a fellow soldier, and quietly walks away.

Kyle (Jeremy Sumpter) is the spoiled and entitled son of a wealthy father. He attends a party and meets Amy (Phoebe Tonkin), and they immediately hit it off. They leave the party together, and Kyle, still drunk, wrecks his car by losing control and flipping it over; he flees the scene and leaves Amy for dead. While his father does use his connections to get Kyle out of jail, he decides that the only way Kyle can learn responsibility is by being sent to a tough-love camp on a remote island in the UK for rich kids who messed up one too many times.

Kyle is resistant at first, and is horrified to discover that Amy is also there; quite naturally, she despises him. But just when Kyle is starting to warm up to his new life, and has started to patch things up with Amy, three mercenaries invade the camp, kill the counselors and security guards, and take the wealthy teens hostage. They demand one billion dollars from their parents, but Kyle who notices them manages to escape. He spends the night in an abandoned overturned car and in the morning decides to check things out.

But as he moves on towards the facility, he encounters a stranger who reveals himself to be one of the mercenaries and points a loaded rifle at him. He forces Kyle to walk across a rope bridge and as they walking across Kyle intentionally shakes up the bridge, causing a struggle between the two of them. During the struggle Kyle manages to knock the rifle out of his hands, and causes both of them to fall into the river below. Kyle survives but the mercenary dies from falling into the shallow end of the river breaking his neck in the process.

Kyle manages to return to the facility at night and sneaks past the mercenaries and frees the other teens after they were tied up, they take all the supplies they can carry and arm themselves with some bows and arrows and take to the woods. After getting a fair distance away from the facility Kyle and one of the teens decide to split into two groups to make it harder for them to be tracked down. They take into the woods, and at around the same time the mercenaries discover that the teens have escaped and decide to track them down.

As one of the group of teens are hiking through the woods, one teen whose name is Keiko cuts her thigh after trying to climb over a log. She decides not to tell anyone and keeps it to herself, they all decide to take shelter deep in the woods to rest for the night. In the morning, one of the mercenaries Rachel pursues them in the woods and trips one of their booby traps which sends wood spikes into her leg. Kyle and his group hear her scream but decide to leave her to die, as they are moving along they encounter Amy who has a troubled look on her face. When Kyle asks what's wrong she tells them that Keiko had injured herself and kept her wound hidden, as a result she bled out overnight by the time they found out it was too late. Keiko's boyfriend refusing to believe this rushes to the other group with Kyle and the others following behind.

Kyle and the others arrive and see Keiko's boyfriend mourning and sitting over her body, the others are left stunned, seeing this Kyle runs off intent on revenge. Kyle heads over to where the mercenary Rachel had been caught in their trap to kill her in retaliation, but she is nowhere to be found. Until she appears behind Kyle pointing her rifle at him and forces him to drop the bow and arrows he has on him, and restrains him with some rubber cuffs. As she prepares to take him away Amy arrives and sees what's going on and jumps on Rachel and they roll down a hill. As result of the tumble Amy ends up breaking her arm with her bone protruding out as a result. A fight ensues between the two and ends with Amy puncturing Rachel's neck with her broken bone killing her.

Kyle tends to Amy's arm and the two reconcile by sharing a kiss with each other. After Kyle and Amy leave to regroup with the others, another mercenary named Danny finds Rachel's corpse and enraged decides to hunt down the teens. He manages to catch up to them and points his rifle at them but he ends being surrounded by the teens but he is unfazed and tells them to drop their weapons. They comply, but Kyle and the other teens distract him long enough for James to shoot him in the neck with a arrow incapacitating him.

Meanwhile the parents of the teens discuss what to do, as they are trapped and will have to follow the kidnappers' demands. But then they receive a video call from a government agent who was contacted by the some of the parents behind Mr. Hartmann's back. The agent promises to rescue their kids but Mr. Hartmann refuses saying he will not wait for the bad news and decides to head to the island via his helicopter. A representative of one of the other parents Jonathan Tilton-Scofield decides to join him in his endeavor.

Kyle and the others flee taking Danny's rifle with them, the leader of the mercenaries Speckc finds Danny barely alive and upon his request kills him with a shot to the head. Kyle and the others find shelter in a abandoned building and discuss their next move. One of the teens offers the option of killing the last mercenary with the rifle they took from them, but Amy disagrees saying it's not a good idea. When the teen asks why Kyle responds by saying because it's not who they are, everything they've done so far has been in self-defense this time it's different they have a choice. They decide to use the rifle to incapacitate Speckc rather then kill him and have one of the teens act as a sniper hiding in the forest, while they trap him.

However Speckc sees through this and takes the teen with the rifle hostage and takes him to the river forcing all the other teens out of their hiding places. As they are talking one of teens shoots Speckc in his leg with an arrow, allowing them to escape however Speckc fires back at them with his rifle barely missing the teens. Kyle tackles him and after a brief struggle, Kyle strikes him several times on his head with a rock and throws him over a small waterfall causing Speckc to land on a protruding spike killing him.

Afterwards, the authorities arrive and treat the children for their injuries. It is then that Kyle's father Bobby Hartmann arrives much to his surprise, they hug relieved to see each other. Jonathan Tilton-Scofield arrives as well, he revealed to be working for Amy's father who is surprised to see him but he states he was worried about her that's why he came. Amy thanks him and then walks away and sits down and takes a look at Speckc's satellite cellphone noticing he had placed several calls to a unknown number.

Mr. Hartmann, Kyle, and Jonathan discuss the whole ordeal, with Mr. Hartmann stating that he finds it hard to believe that one man came up with this whole scheme, but Jonathan comments that since all of the mercenaries are dead there is no one left to question raising eyebrows from Kyle and Mr. Hartmann. Just then a phone rings it is revealed to be Jonathan's second cellphone, Amy asks "why don't you answer it" she then asks "you want to tell me why the last seven calls from Speckc's cellphone came from the one you're holding?

Jonathan realizes he's been made, but quickly denies the accusations right before Mr. Hartmann punches him in the face. He berates him saying "a lot of good innocent people died because of him" Amy says that her father taught her to be strong, to look out for herself he taught her well. Jonathan continues pleading his innocence as he is dragged away by the authorities, Kyle comforts Amy as Mr. Hartmann looks on proud of his son.

A woman calls 911 to report an intruder in her home. Having already hanged the man of the house with a noose, serial killer Hangman instructs the woman to say she loves him before violently stabbing her.

Hangman secretly records Aaron Miller, his wife Beth, their daughter Marley, and young son Max as they embark on vacation at the Burbank airport. Once they leave, Hangman breaks into the Miller family’s minivan and uses the vehicle’s GPS to drive back to their house. There, Hangman watches their home movies, installs hidden cameras, establishes a surveillance suite in the attic, and begins secretly living inside the Miller home.

The Millers return home to find their house ransacked. Aaron also discovers a hangman drawn in ketchup on the shower tiles as well as a mannequin torso hanging from a rope in the attic.

As the Millers put the house back together and resume their regular lives, Hangman continues living there in secret while regularly stalking the family members as they sleep. Hangman also secretly follows Beth and Marley when they go out in public. Beth starts hearing noises and seeing clues around the house suggesting that someone might still be there as Hangman deliberately moves and manipulates items to keep the family suspicious and unsettled.

While alone in the house to fix the toilet, handyman Miguel finds one of Hangman’s cameras embedded in the bathroom wall. Hangman surprises Miguel from behind and suffocates him with a plastic bag.

Hangman scares Beth with a popped light bulb to stop her from investigating the attic after she hears another strange sound. Beth suggests purchasing a gun to feel safe and Aaron agrees.

Marley notices Hangman recording her while she makes out with her boyfriend Miles at a Lovers’ Lane. Miles confronts Hangman, but the teenage couple drives away when they become creeped out by his unresponsiveness.

Aaron and Beth host dinner for Beth’s friend Melissa and Melissa’s husband. While the quartet dines, Hangman goes through Melissa’s purse. Max is woken by banging on the roof. Beth notices that someone urinated on the floor in the upstairs hallway and assumes it was Max.

Hangman steals the report card Marley was hiding from her parents and puts it on Aaron and Beth’s bed. Marley blames Max for giving the report card to their parents.

While cleaning Max’s bedroom, Beth finds a drawing of a faceless man dressed in black. Max explains that the figure is Jimmy, a man who sometimes visits him in his dreams. Max also claims that Jimmy told him Melissa is not the good person that she seems to be.

Hangman masturbates and cries to himself while watching Aaron and Beth have sex. Hangman drugs a bottle of wine and does something unseen to Beth while she is unconscious.

Hangman has an emotional breakdown while perusing a Miller family photo album. He later puts lipstick on one of Aaron’s shirts and also places a condom in the pocket to present an appearance of infidelity.

Hangman follows Marley and Miles to the carousel at Griffith Park and murders Miles in the bathroom. He then sends Marley a text from Miles’ phone to make it look like the boy stormed off in anger.

Beth discovers that she is pregnant. After Beth finds the shirt Hangman tampered with, Max tells his mother that Jimmy saw Aaron kissing Melissa.

Beth confronts Aaron over his presumed affair when Aaron comes home. Their argument is interrupted by noises upstairs. Aaron grabs the gun when he realizes that there is an intruder in their home. He investigates the attic, but Hangman kills Aaron and drops his body from a noose. Holding Beth at gunpoint, Hangman assumes Aaron’s identity and instructs Beth to say she loves him. After Beth says, “I love you,” Hangman shoots her in the head.

Hangman returns to the airport with his video camera and begins stalking another family as they leave for vacation.

Philippe Bergeron described the character animation with the words: "…''Tony de Peltrie'', about a piano player who is recollecting his glory days (…) Tony is not all that life-like in appearance, but the animation is so realistic that by the end of the short, you are really feeling for him.“

The film portrays the last part of Tony's career, as seen from his own perspective. Now alone and nostalgic, he recollects his past in a dreamlike state before it all fades away. The emotions of the story range in a melancholy way from joyful memories to the sad ending.

''The Missing Heir''

The story begins with a man, Amachi, discovering the fallen protagonist on the ground near a cliff.

As the protagonist investigates the mysterious death of Kiku Ayashiro, he discovers the terrifying connection between this saying and the serial killings which take place.

''The Girl Who Stands Behind''

The second game is a prequel, and opens three years before the events of ''The Missing Heir.'' The prologue scene depicts an autumn night as a 15-year-old boy (the protagonist of the game) is on the run from two police officers. A man, respected by the police, decides to care of the situation by himself. The man takes the boy to a coffeehouse, where the boy explains that he ran away from his orphanage to find his parents' whereabouts. The man introduces himself as a private detective named Shunsuke Utsugi, and convinces the boy to become his assistant.

A few months later, Utsugi and the protagonist receive a phone call to check over a crime scene. The murder victim is a freshman schoolgirl named Yoko Kojima. The protagonist begins gathering information from Ushimitsu High School to solve the Yoko case and connect it with the Genjiro Kaneda case along with the help of Yoko's two high school friends; a girl named Ayumi Tachibana and a boy named Hitomi Kawaii. It soon emerges that Yoko was deep into an investigation of "The Tale of the Girl Who Stands Behind," a rumor involving a ghost of a blood-soaked girl that stands behind a student, and the trio set out to discover the truth behind this rumor.

Ms. Hayama, a teacher at the school, admits to the protagonist that she started the rumor. On the night of the Kaneda murder, the then sophomore went to the school to get some forgotten homework, but saw the "Girl in Back", passing by the old school building during the night she saw the "Girl in Back", but the wall was unfinished. During the conversation, the protagonist catches Tazaki eavesdropping. He tries to chase him down, but fails. After he returns to the detective agency, Ayumi gives him a cup of coffee that makes him go unconscious. When he regains consciousness, the protagonist realizes Ayumi drugged his coffee; a letter from Ayumi says she went to track down Tazaki herself. Eventually, he ends up from Tazaki's apartment, to his mother's village, and finally down a cliff, where Ayumi is kept hostage by an unstable Tazaki. He threatens to kill her, but gives up afterward. He confesses about his false alibi and talks of his past. The protagonist has the altruistic Urabe admit he lied about Tazaki's alibi, but he showed no regrets.

The protagonist notices a portrait of Shinobu in the school; the painter, Ryoko Katsuragi, tells the protagonist about Shinobu, and that Yoko and Shinobu were also cousins. When the protagonist arrives at Goro's apartment, he finds Goro getting murdered. The protagonist then realizes that Goro was the man Urabe hanged out with at the galleria, and was holding a pen with the initials "T.U."; these match the initials of Teruhiko Uchida and Tadashi Urabe.

Chapter 10 elaborates more on Shinobu's friend, whose last name was Uchida. Sayaka Ishibashi tells the protagonist that the Uchida boy was indeed Teruhiko's son, Tatsuya. This boy later turns out to be Tatsuya Hibino. Hibino tells the protagonist about how he developed his father-son relationship with Urabe. He also shows his extreme resentment towards the Kanedas. He has no alibi for the Goro murder, but throws a temper tantrum when the protagonist considers Urabe a suspect.

Conversing with Hayama, the protagonist realizes Urabe was never on any business trip, as he claimed before: When she went to school on the night of the Kaneda murder, through the window of the old school building did she see the bloody girl - this was likely Shinobu. Tazaki reveals that on that night he was indeed plastering the wall of the old school building, but he took a break. The next morning, it looked like someone had used his tools.

Back at the detective agency, a resentful tipster calls to tell that the "lowlife" was at the school. Ayumi was taking a make-up test for Hibino before they went outside to meet the protagonist. The three break through the door into Urabe's office, only to find that Urabe committed suicide, leaving behind a letter in which he shamefully confesses as the serial killer. However, it is later revealed that Hibino was the actual serial killer. After confessing about Genjiro, Shinobu, Goro, and Yoko, he tries to slash the cornered protagonist and Ayumi in the hallway with the giant mirror. Instead, he ends up stabbing the mirror and shattering it into pieces, revealing the corpse of Shinobu; as the police, Maruyama, and Utsugi arrive, Ayumi faints.

Back to the agency, Utsugi introduces Ayumi as an official assistant of his. When the protagonist asks Utsugi why the "T.U." pen didn't read "T.H." instead, he does not answer - but he and Ayumi go out to eat, leaving the protagonist behind. The "T.U." initials on the pen are then revealed to be directed not to Tatsuya Hibino, but to Tatsuya Urabe, his son, making Hibino was Urabe's son all along - having lost his wife after she gave birth to Hibino, Urabe had entrusted his son to his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Uchida.

After the credits roll, the game goes into its epilogue, in which Zenzou Tanabe calls the Utsugi Detective Agency over to his Myojin Village and the protagonist goes out to the village while leaving behind Ayumi, leading into the events of The Missing Heir.

Meredith is forced to juggle parenting with work when Derek has a lecture in Boston. Cristina is on the phone with Meredith again, bragging to her about the aneurysm. Meredith is in her car, and she passes an accident. It looks bad, so she parks her car and gets out to help. The driver is fine, but when Meredith runs to the other side of the car, she sees woman trapped under the car. This reminds her of Lexie, who was trapped under a part of the crashed plane. Meredith and Cristina lean on each other and maintain their long-distance friendship. The two friends continue to cope with life after the plane crash and their ever-growing responsibilities at their respective hospitals.

Richard comes into the OR to tell Meredith that Melissa's parents have been found and that they're coming to the hospital. Meredith asks for more blood transfusion, but Richard and Callie think that it might be time to pack up Melissa and let her body rest. She keeps operating a little longer, until Richard calls her name. She then agrees to pack up the patient. He is worried that the case is hitting a little too close to home for her after what happened to Lexie. He's worried that her emotions are clouding her judgement, but she tells him that that's not the case. She leaves to go check on Melissa.

Meredith and Cristina are on the phone, Meredith is leaving the hospital, and Cristina is in a liquor store. Cristina says that she fears that the patient will die, and that Dr. Thomas will be fired. Meredith is worried about her patient too, as she needs to go home with Zola because Derek is out of town. Cristina is on the phone with Meredith again, telling her that Dr. Thomas will do the surgery. She says that he'll get fired if he does it. Meredith says that she needs to find the perfect window to open her patient back up.

The family experiences paranormal occurrences that manifest as a bloody and bound apparition and a bald man. Although Madison hires parapsychologists and psychics to investigate the haunting, none can help her.

After searching online she finds a reference to Project ECHO and that Nikolai was previously employed by CamSET. Nikolai explains that they were working on teleportation with human subjects, but he left over ethical concerns. The project was at least forty years until completion, so Nikolai deduces that the bald man must be coming from the future. Madison and Nikolai set traps and make improvised weapons in hopes of killing the bald man when he rematerializes.

They beat the bald man into submission. The police arrive but are quickly killed when the bald man reawakens, and Nikolai is rendered unconscious.

Her son receives a cut on his right cheek that instantly appears on the bald man's face, and Madison realizes that the bald man is her son Jacob from the future. Nikolai regains consciousness and shoots the bald man in the back with one of the dead police officers' guns. Madison lies next to the bald man and is transported to the future. There it is explained that her son was captured trying to burn the lab down because of something CamSET did to his mother. He was subsequently lobotomized and used as a test subject in Project ECHO forty years in the future. Madison is healed and sent back to her own time, where she stares straight ahead while her son embraces her.

Friends, help me…
A woman has just frozen to death in the night, at 3 this morning, on the pavement/sidewalk of the boulevard Sébastopol, clutching to herself some paper thrown out by someone two days earlier…. Each night more than 2,000 people huddle, some almost naked, without a roof and without bread in the freezing conditions. Faced with this horror, it’s no longer enough to say we face an emergency: it’s much more urgent than that!

Listen to me: in the past three hours, two first relief centres have been set up: one in a tent at the foot of the Panthéon in the rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève; the other at Courbevoie. They’re already filling up. This evening we need in every French town and in each quarter of Paris a door with a welcoming illuminated sign showing where people can find shelter, blankets, straw, soup and giving the simple fraternal message, "All who suffer, whoever you are, come in, sleep, eat, rediscover hope: here you are loved.

''Mes amis, au secours…''
''Une femme vient de mourir gelée, cette nuit à trois heures, sur le trottoir du boulevard Sébastopol, serrant sur elle le papier par lequel, avant-hier, on l’avait expulsée… Chaque nuit, ils sont plus de 2 000 recroquevillés sous le gel, sans toit, sans pain, plus d’un presque nu. Devant l’horreur, les cités d’urgence, ce n’est même plus assez urgent!''

''Écoutez-moi : en trois heures, deux premiers centres de dépannage viennent de se créer : l’un sous la tente au pied du Panthéon, rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève ; l’autre à Courbevoie. Ils regorgent déjà, il faut en ouvrir partout. Il faut que ce soir même, dans toutes les villes de France, dans chaque quartier de Paris, des pancartes s’accrochent sous une lumière dans la nuit, à la porte de lieux où il y ait couvertures, paille, soupe, et où l’on lise sous ce titre Centre fraternel de dépannage, ces simples mots : « Toi qui souffres, qui que tu sois, entre, dors, mange, reprends espoir, ici on t'aime ».'' which was published in newspapers, roused public support and resulted in the establishment of a charity, "Les Chiffoniers d'Emmaus" (The Ragpickers of Emmaus) to raise funds for them. The charity is still operational.

The novel focuses on the lives of four friends: Jude St. Francis, a disabled genius with a mysterious past; Willem Ragnarsson, a kind, handsome man who aspires to be an actor; Malcolm Irvine, an architect working at a prestigious firm; and Jean-Baptiste "JB" Marion, a quick-witted painter who wants to make a name in the art world. The book follows their relationships changing under the influence of success, wealth, addiction, and pride.

The novel's main focus is the enigmatic lawyer, Jude. He suffers from a damaged spine which leaves him with a limp and excruciating pain in his legs that comes and goes. Unbeknownst to his friends, he also frequently self-harms, one such bout of cutting leading to Willem's needing to take him to Andy Contractor, Jude's doctor and trusted friend. It is clear that he suffers from debilitating mental trauma from his childhood.

Despite this apparent closeness with his friends, Jude finds himself unable to divulge either detail of his past or current state of mind to his roommate. Nonetheless, he thrives in his law practice, and develops a close parent-child relationship with his former professor, Harold, and his wife Julia, which results in the pair adopting him when Jude turns thirty. While thankful, the time before the adoption is filled with further bouts of self-harm, as Jude believes he is inherently unworthy of affection. Meanwhile, the rest of the group finds success in their respective fields, with Willem becoming a star of theater and then film. JB finds success as an artist but also becomes addicted to crystal meth. The group stages an intervention, where JB mocks Jude by doing a crude imitation of his limp. In spite of successful treatment, and a great deal of apologizing, Jude finds it impossible to forgive JB. Willem refuses to forgive him too, causing the group to fragment, with only Malcolm remaining friends with all four members.

It becomes clear that Jude was sexually traumatized at a very young age, making it difficult for him to engage in romantic relationships. His friends and loved ones begin questioning this isolation as he enters his forties, with Willem especially being baffled with regard to Jude's sexuality. As his loneliness grows more intense, he enters an abusive relationship with fashion executive Caleb, who is disgusted by Jude's limp and his increasing use of a wheelchair. Jude finally breaks off the relationship after Caleb rapes him, and they meet a final time when Caleb follows him to dinner with Harold, humiliates him, and then follows Jude to his apartment, where he brutally beats and rapes him, leaving him for dead. Jude nonetheless refuses to report the incident to the police, believing he deserved it. Besides Harold, only Andy – Jude's doctor and ongoing confidante – knows the truth of the failed relationship.

Although Jude's body manages to heal, the rape causes him to flash back to his childhood, wherein he was raised in a monastery and repeatedly sexually assaulted by the brothers. He recalls a period when one of the brothers, Brother Luke, ran away with him, forcing him into years of child prostitution. After he was rescued by the police, Jude was placed in state care, where the abuse continued at the hands of the counselors there. After the break-up with Caleb brings back this childhood trauma, Jude finally decides to kill himself but survives the attempt. In the aftermath, Willem comes back home and begins to live with him. Jude continues to refuse therapy but begins to tell Willem the least traumatic stories about his childhood, which Willem finds disturbing and horrifying. The two soon begin a relationship, but Jude continues to struggle with opening up, and does not enjoy having sex with him.

In an attempt to curb his cutting, Jude decides to instead burn himself as a form of self-harm, but accidentally inflicts third-degree burns that require a skin graft. The wound is so severe that Andy tells him he has to tell Willem what happened, or else he will do it for him. Before Jude can tell Willem, Andy accidentally divulges the information. Willem is horrified but, after a difficult fight, Jude finally confesses that he does not enjoy sex, and tells Willem about the years of sexual and physical abuse he endured. Jude also reveals that he escaped state care at age 14 and hitchhiked, performing sexual acts as payment to drivers. He also explains to Willem that the damage to his legs was caused by a man called Dr. Traylor, who picked Jude up and held him captive while he cured him of venereal disease, assaulted him, and eventually ran him over with his car.

The relationship continues, with Willem sleeping with women (and not with Jude) for a while, until he eventually stops, due to a sense of guilt and uneasiness. The two settle into a comfortable life together, which is shaken when Jude's legs become worse, and he must reluctantly amputate. He manages to learn to walk again with his new prosthetics, and the pair enter a period of their life which Willem dubs "The Happy Years". However, while picking up Malcolm and his wife from the train station for a visit, Willem is involved in a car accident with a drunk driver, which kills all three occupants. With his close friend and lover dead, Jude descends once again into self-destructive habits, losing such an excessive amount of weight that his remaining loved ones stage another intervention. Though they are able to get him to gain weight and to attend therapy, years of depression and despair finally overtake Jude, and he takes his own life.

On Halloween, Gotham City mayor Don Mitchell Jr. is murdered by the Riddler, a masked killer. Reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne, who has operated for two years as the vigilante Batman, investigates the murder alongside the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD). Lieutenant James Gordon discovers a message that the Riddler left for Batman. The following night, the Riddler kills commissioner Pete Savage and leaves another message for Batman.

Batman and Gordon discover that the Riddler left a thumb drive in Mitchell's car containing images of Mitchell with a woman, Annika Kosolov, at the Iceberg Lounge—a nightclub operated by the Penguin, mobster Carmine Falcone's lieutenant. While the Penguin pleads ignorance, Batman notices that Selina Kyle, Annika's roommate, works at the club as a waitress. When Annika disappears, Batman sends Selina back to the Iceberg Lounge for answers and discovers that Savage was on Falcone's payroll, as is district attorney Gil Colson.

The Riddler abducts Colson, straps a timed collar bomb to his neck, and sends him to interrupt Mitchell's funeral. When Batman arrives, the Riddler calls him via Colson's phone and threatens to detonate the bomb if Colson cannot answer three riddles. Colson refuses to answer the third—the name of the informant who gave the GCPD information that led to a historic drug bust ending mobster Salvatore Maroni's operation—and dies. Batman and Gordon deduce that the informant may be the Penguin and track him to a drug deal. They discover that Maroni's operation transferred to Falcone, with many corrupt GCPD officers involved. Selina inadvertently exposes them when she arrives to steal money and discovers Annika's corpse in a car trunk. After a car chase, Batman captures the Penguin but learns he is not the informant.

Batman and Gordon follow the Riddler's trail to the ruins of an orphanage funded by Bruce's murdered parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, where they learn that the Riddler holds a grudge against the Wayne family. Bruce's butler and caretaker, Alfred Pennyworth, is hospitalized after opening a letter bomb addressed to Bruce. The Riddler leaks evidence that Thomas, who was running for mayor before he was murdered, hired Falcone to kill a journalist for threatening to reveal details about Martha and her family's history of mental illness. Bruce, who grew up believing his father was morally upstanding, confronts Alfred, who maintains that Thomas only asked Falcone to threaten the journalist into silence; Thomas planned to turn himself and Falcone over to the police once he found out Falcone murdered the journalist instead. Alfred believes that Falcone had Thomas and Martha killed to prevent this.

Selina reveals to Batman that Falcone is her neglectful father. She decides to kill him after learning that he strangled Annika because Mitchell told her that Falcone was the informant. Batman and Gordon arrive in time to stop her, but the Riddler kills Falcone as he is being arrested. The Riddler is unmasked as forensic accountant Edward Nashton and is incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital, where he tells Batman he took inspiration from him when targeting the corrupt. Batman learns that Nashton has stationed car bombs around Gotham and cultivated an online following that plans to assassinate mayor-elect Bella Reál.

The bombs destroy the seawall around Gotham and flood the city. Nashton's followers attempt to kill Reál but are stopped by Batman and Selina. In the aftermath, Nashton befriends another inmate, while Selina deems Gotham beyond saving and leaves. Batman aids recovery efforts and vows to inspire hope in Gotham.

As he heals his uncle, the news spreads and reaches the new Jewish King, Herod Archelaus, Herod the Great's son, who summons his Roman Centurion, who is revealed to be Severus. It is quickly shown that Severus despises Herod and that Herod is going mad as he attacks imaginary snakes. Herod orders Severus to hunt down the boy healer and execute him. Herod then taunts him by telling him that his task should be as easy as Bethlehem. Severus reluctantly agrees, but secretly shows distress at the mention of Bethlehem.

Jesus and the family run into a man raping a lady by the roadside. The lady knifes the attacker and kills him. Joseph and Uncle Cleopas bury the dead attacker and the victim joins the family on their road to Nazareth. On the way to Nazareth Jesus and the family encounter crucifixions of Jewish rebels.

Upon arrival at their family home in Nazareth the Roman soldiers arrive and accuse them of banditry and rebellion. Grandmother Sarah arrives and shares sweet cakes and good wine to give to the soldiers. The soldiers are won over by the hospitality and spare Joseph and the extended clan.

Severus returns to Herod Archelaus in the middle of a belly dancing entertainment. He informs Severus that he just crucified a man who told him about the return of Jesus.

However, Jesus is able to frighten Lucifer by revealing that Lucifer is actually afraid of him as he doesn't know who Jesus really is or just how powerful he is.

Jesus is restored to health and he asks to visit Jerusalem for Passover. The centurions track Jesus to Sarah's house in Nazareth but they have already departed for Jerusalem. The soldiers extract information about the boy's name. The soldiers intercept the travelers on the road but the family hides in the caves.

Jesus departs from the cave in the middle of the night for Jerusalem all by himself asking God for guidance and safety. Jesus enters Jerusalem, his parents follow looking for him. Jesus is given some coins by well meaning pilgrims and he uses the coins to save a sacrificial dove and sets it free. Jesus finds a blind rabbi and asks about what happened seven years ago in Bethlehem. As the rabbi tells him about the slaughter that happened, Jesus sees the scene unfold in his mind. It is revealed that Severus was the one who led the slaughter. However, he did not do it willingly. Lucifer guides the Centurions to the boy by the rabbi. The rabbi is healed by the young Jesus.

Severus corners Jesus and the people in the temple gather around Jesus claiming him to be the boy who healed the Rabbi. However, upon seeing Jesus, Severus is shocked to realize that he is the very boy he saved in the valley. Jesus reveals that he knows about Severus' actions at Bethlehem, and how he has been plagued with guilt ever since. Jesus reminds Severus that he already saved his life once and that now he has a choice to make. After a tense moment, Severus lowers his sword and tells his men that their job is done here. Jesus gives him a knowing smile before turning around and embracing his family.

Severus returns to falsely report to Herod Archelaus that the young Jesus was murdered by him. At first Herod gleefully celebrates but then starts screaming and raving about snakes in his bed. As he continues to rave, Severus calmly walks out of the bedchamber. As he walks away he smiles and places his hand on the toy camel that he now has attached to his belt.

While stuck in Los Angeles traffic, aspiring actress Amelia "Mia" Dolan has a moment of road rage directed at Sebastian "Seb" Wilder, a jazz pianist. After a hard day at work, Mia's subsequent audition goes awry when the casting director takes a phone call during an emotional scene. That night, her roommates take her to a lavish party in the Hollywood Hills, promising her that someone in the crowd could jump-start her career. After her car is towed, she walks home in disappointment.

During a gig at a restaurant, Seb slips into jazz improvisation, despite the owner's warning to only play traditional Christmas pieces. Mia overhears him playing as she passes by. Moved, she enters the restaurant and observes Seb being fired for his disobedience. As he storms out, Mia attempts to compliment him, but he brushes her off. Months later, she runs into Seb at a party where he plays in a 1980s pop cover band. After the gig, they walk to their cars and 'lament wasting a lovely night together' despite their clear chemistry.

Seb arrives at Mia's workplace, and she shows him around the Warner Bros. backlot, where she works as a barista, while explaining her passion for acting. He takes her to a jazz club, describing his passion for jazz and his desire to open his own club. Seb invites Mia to a screening of ''Rebel Without a Cause'' and she accepts, forgetting a date with her boyfriend Greg. Bored with the latter date, she goes to the theater and finds Seb as the film begins. They spend their evening with a romantic visit to the Griffith Observatory and a lovely dance.

After more failed auditions, Mia decides, with Seb's encouragement, to write a one-woman play. He begins to perform regularly at a jazz club, and they move in together. Seb's former classmate Keith invites him to be the keyboardist in his jazz fusion band, which will give him a steady income. Although dismayed by the band's pop style, Seb signs on after overhearing Mia trying to convince her mother that he is working on his career. The band finds success, but Mia knows this is not the type of music Seb wants to perform.

During the band's first tour, Seb and Mia have an argument; she accuses him of abandoning his dreams, while he claims that she liked him more when he was unsuccessful. Two weeks later, Seb misses Mia's play due to a photoshoot he had forgotten about. The play does not go as well as planned; few people attend, and Mia overhears dismissive comments about her performance. Unable to forgive him for missing the play and for their prior argument, Mia breaks up with Seb and moves back to her hometown of Boulder City, Nevada.

Seb receives a phone call from a prominent casting director who attended Mia's play and invites her to audition for an upcoming film. He drives to Boulder City and persuades her to attend. During the audition, Mia is asked simply to tell a story. In response, she sings about how her aunt, a former stage actress who eventually died from alcoholism, inspired her to chase her dreams. Seb, confident the audition was a success, encourages her to devote herself to acting.

Five years later, Mia is a famous actress and married to another man, with whom she has a daughter. One night, the couple stumble upon a jazz bar. Recognizing the logo she had once designed, Mia realizes that Seb has opened his own jazz club. When he notices Mia in the crowd, Seb begins to play their love theme on the piano. A dream sequence unfolds in which the two imagine what might have been had their relationship thrived along with their careers.

The film is set in Karlstad. Frizzy-haired Janos (Sven-Olof Molin) is already mid-aged but has no jobs and no aspirations. He sings ballads on the street with a guitar and picks the garbage for food, yet he is content with his carefree life. He sometimes helps out old man Stig Manner (Rolf G. Ekroth) who walks with a cane to sell used goods. Obviously unsatisfied with Janos' lack of achievements, Stig tries hard to launch a musical career for him.

The movie starts with a boy who belongs to prehistoric times hunting a fish. Returning home he finds it destroyed and cries out in despair before suddenly being captured into time vortex. Meanwhile, in the 20th century, Nobita wants to run away from his home due to his mom always scolding him for getting a 0 on tests, as depicted many times in various episodes. As a result of failing to find an ideal home, Nobita decides to make a makeshift place to live, however due to land property ownership laws he fails to find a suitable location. At the same time, Shizuka, Gian, Suneo and Doraemon also want to run away from their homes as they feel their parents have been working them too hard (with the exception of Doraemon, who leaves as the family has been requested to take care of a hamster which Doraemon thinks looks too much like a mouse, an animal he hates). Nobita suggests that they should go back in time to live in a place before humans existed. The group agrees with him and travel to Japan 70,000 years ago.

To settle in, Doraemon assigns everyone a ministry. Nobita, who is given the ministry of pets, mixes the genes of different animals and creates a Pegasus, a Dragon and a Griffin. At night, the group eats the supper and decides to return home and visit here another day. On the next day, Doraemon is upset to find his dorayaki has been eaten, deducing it was the hamster. As he sets off in a rage, Gian, Shizuka and Suneo come and is attacked by the mysterious boy from the start of the movie. Gian fights with him and manages to overpower him. At first they are annoyed as they believe Doraemon and Nobita have told someone else about their secret but it quickly turns to confusion as they find the spear the boy holds is made of real stone. Nobita's mom then comes up the stairs and in a panic, the group take the boy with them to the past.

They take the boy into the cave and when he regains consciousness, Shizuka gives him food and Doraemon uses the translation taro in order to understand him. He tells them that his name is Kukuru and he belongs to the Light Tribe, who got attacked by the Dark Tribe and enslaved all of his people. Nobita and Doraemon decide to help him. Kukuru is mistrustful as they are led by a powerful "King of the Spirits", Gigazombi, but as Doraemon demonstrates the secret gadgets he has, Kukuru hails him as a god much to the annoyance of Doraemon. Pegasus, Dragon and Griffin are left behind as Doraemon fears arriving on them will cause too much of a scene, and they trace the Dark Tribe using Takekoputa, eventually finding and fighting them. However their shaman proved to be strong and gave them a challenge; his ability to generate force fields is worrying to Doraemon and he wonders how an object in the Stone Age has such powers. Using the Hirarimando Doraemon reflects the shaman's attacks back to him, seemingly destroying it. They take the tribe to Japan to give them a peaceful place to live and return to the 21st century, but Nobita is worried as his pets were nowhere to be seen.

The next day, Doraemon finds with some help from Dorami that the shaman is made of a type of ceramic that has shape memory and can restore itself. The Light Tribe is still in danger, so they once again return to prehistoric times. Unfortunately they were too late and the Dark Tribe had already taken the Light Tribe. Gigazombi appears as the hologram, challenging the protagonists to come to him and face him, which they do so. Unfortunately on the way they encounter a blizzard and Nobita is separated from the group, but luckily he is found by his pets. They have a reunion.

The group without Nobita travels on to Gigazombi's hideout where they find the Light Tribe being forced to work. Gian jumps down from their hiding spot but Doraemon quickly stops time, knowing they will need to move tactfully. He uses the Toorinuge Hoop to reach the surface, but is confused by the subspace tunnel curving and the exit being in an unexpected location, a room with historic electronics everywhere. Gigazombi then appears and Doraemon is confused since time is supposedly stopped, which the former says he removed. Doraemon then realises that Gigazombi is a time traveler, like them, although he changes history for his own benefit. Gigazombi reveals that he also plans to destroy the subspace time tunnel so that no one may enter or leave this time period again. They battle for a while, but Doraemon is easily defeated as it turns out Gigazombi is from the 23rd century, making Doraemon's 22nd century gadgets outdated in comparison.

Doraemon, Shizuka, Suneo and Gian are captured and face a saber-toothed cat, but Nobita and his pets come in and rescue them just in time. They disable the machine that will destroy subspace and just in time, Time Patrol and Dorami come and arrest Gigazombi. Dorami says that she found out the shape-memory ceramic the shaman was made from is manufactured in the 23rd century, which made her worried and thus called Time Patrol. Nobita and the rest of the group prepare to return to their own time although a tearful farewell is first said to Pega, Draco and Gri – because they are fantastical animals, they cannot accompany Nobita and must be moved to a zoo. Nobita eventually relents and says goodbye to his pets.

In the epilogue, Nobita's mom tells Nobita that he's going to be late for school, but gives him 10 more minutes of sleep as she finds out he was working on his homework.

The action takes place in the southwestern United States late in World War II. Four POWs from Nazi Germany escape American custody and eventually wind up taking over a small gas station/hotel in the desert. They plan to obtain a fueled-up vehicle and flee the country. A Dutch military pilot traveling through America on his way to fight in the Pacific is mistaken by some locals as one of the Nazis. Eventually, however, he helps lead the resistance against the Germans.

The setting, some of the characters and a few plot elements are reminiscent of the 1936 film ''The Petrified Forest''. But while ''Escape in the Desert'' has occasionally been called a "remake" of the earlier film, the two are in essence very different. The two main male characters are nothing like those in ''The Petrified Forest'', and their conflict is also dissimilar. Critics at the time noticed the superficial resemblance to the earlier film, but described ''Escape in the desert'' as basically an action picture, a sort of updated Western with Nazis as the villains.

The film is set in France in the early 19th century, after the Napoleonic Wars (1803 – 1815). The voiceover reports that banditry and violence rule the roadways. An ill-fated theatrical troupe of commedia dell'arte performers on tour visits the castle of Count Drago (Christopher Lee).

Drago is an embalmer of both animals and humans. He is pre-occupied with creating his "eternal theatre." In his research, Drago discovers a chemical formula that instantly kills and embalms any living creature, forever preserving them at the moment of death. Drago's habit of experimenting on animals is revealed, and the visitors are about to become unwilling participants before a dwarf rescues them.

The novel is set in a cane-country town on the north Queensland coast. It deals with a wave of racist brutality in the 1860s and the attempts, some twenty or so years later, to rectify the wrongs caused.

Tom Keely is alone, living at the top of the Mirador apartments, a highrise in Fremantle, Western Australia. Once a high-powered, environmental activist he is now divorced and destitute. "Tim Winton's heart-stopping, exhilarating ''Eyrie'' asks how, in an impossibly compromised world, we can ever hope to do the right thing."

After her father's death, Su Ling (Ivy Ling Po) struggles to support her ill mother and disabled brother, but Mr. Su's former student Chiang Sung-ping (Chiao Chuang), a virtuoso drummer, does everything to help them. With Chiang's help, Su Ling becomes a skilled singer and performs in nightclub with him. They fall in love, but one day Su learns that Chiang is dependent on a drug to help him focus. Chiang promises that he would quit, but soon Su finds out otherwise and breaks up with him. Later, after listening to Chiang's explanation, Su realizes how they love each other and is determined to help him recover from the drug addiction. They get married and go to a resort for their honeymoon. Everything is blissful, but the possibility of her husband smoking the substance again is always in the back of Su's mind.

George Mullen is a 20-something openly gay man enrolled in the English literature graduate school program at Columbia University. Although somewhat good-looking, George has moderate self-esteem problems and deep commitment issues. The novel is told from his point of view.

The novel opens as George begins dating Robert Joley, a handsome, 40-year-old literature professor at the college. Joley (George always refers to him by his last name) also has commitment issues, and George's relationship with him is poor. They attend a party where George meets Nina Borowski, a full-figured woman who counsels battered women and rape victims at a women's crisis center while striving for her Ph.D. in psychology. Joley tells Nina that George wants to move out, even though the men have not discussed this. Angry and hurt, George moves into Nina's Brooklyn apartment. George drops out of Columbia, and takes a job teaching kindergarten alongside Melissa, a trust-fund baby into alternative culture.

George and Nina swiftly become best friends, and in time their friendship comes close to approximating romantic love. They have a mutual appreciation for junk food, and both of them are highly disorganized, somewhat lazy, and tend to hoard things. They both enjoy movies, and they impulsively take ballroom dancing lessons. Nina is dating Howard, a feminist and legal aid lawyer.

The plot changes when Nina tells George that she is pregnant with Howard's child. Nina does not want to marry Howard, and asks George if he will raise the child with her. George agrees. Despite Nina's request that Howard remain unaware of the pregnancy for now, George unintentionally lets the secret out. After a few weeks, Nina begins to break up with Howard, who is devastated. Although a year has now passed since George and Joley dated, Joley contacts George and asks him to vacation at an inn in Vermont. George eagerly consents.

During the trip to Vermont, Joley reveals that he did not get tenure at Columbia, and asks George to move with him to Seattle, Washington. At last, George sees Joley as more pathetic than sexually attractive or mature. At the inn, George meets Paul Schneider, a Jewish newspaper reporter in Vermont. They spend the night together, and George meets Paul's adopted Salvadoran son, Gabriel. Joley returns to New York without George, and never contacts him again.

Having returned to New York City, George learns that his co-worker Melissa is dating Howard. During the Thanksgiving holiday, Paul travels to New York City to visit his mother, Molly, and spends some time with George. Molly takes a strong interest in Nina. Soon thereafter, George allows a mother going through a nasty divorce to take her son home at the end of the school day. In fact, the mother is abducting her own child, which enrages the child's father. Melissa breaks up with Howard. George is suspended from his job just before Christmas, then travels to Vermont to spend Christmas with Paul. As the vacation ends, George tells Paul about being fired, and Paul is angry that George doesn't trust him.

Back in Brooklyn, Nina is upset that George is falling in love with Paul. With Molly's encouragement, she has turned her life around by getting rid of clothes and mementos she has hoarded, and has begun work again on her dissertation. George and Nina's friendship becomes rocky, and they take up ballroom dancing lessons again. Frank, George's younger brother, invites George to his wedding. George's family is shocked to find Nina pregnant, and they had told Frank's soon-to-be in-laws that George was heterosexual. This leads to George and Nina deciding not to attend the wedding. The two travel by train back to New York City. They stop in Providence, Rhode Island, on the way home, get a room at an inn, and make love.

The act of sexual intercourse ruins George and Nina's intimate friendship, as George had long suspected it would.

The book ends with an epilogue, set about six months later. George has moved to Vermont to live with Paul, and taken a job as a kindergarten teacher there. Nina has had her baby, and named the child Emily. Melissa has gone to law school, and Paul's mother has moved in with Nina to help care for Nina's child. Nina has allowed Howard back into her life, to a limited degree, so that he can see his daughter.

Main characters

• '''George Mullen''' - narrator of the novel, and the 20-something protagonist. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, George has been out of the closet since college. George lacks self-esteem and is terrified of commitment, to his friends and to his boyfriends. George has several neuroses, is lazy, begins projects but rarely finishes them, and spends most of his free time listening to pop music from the 1950s.
• '''Nina Borowski''' - A Polish American woman in her late 20s, and George's best friend. Nina is much like George (lazy, a hoarder, etc.), and rarely works on her doctoral dissertation. Like George, she is relentlessly cynical.
• '''Howard''' - Nina's boyfriend. Howard is very liberal and a feminist, and often apologizes for things he says which he feels are offensive. He is a good cook, but somewhat slovenly in his attire. Howard is besotted with Nina, gives her suffocatingly saccharine pet names (such as Brisket, Butterbean, Munchkin, Pudding, and Puddle), and is somewhat overbearing.
• '''Robert Joley''' - Referred to by George as "Joley", he is a handsome professor of literature at Columbia University. Joley is sexually promiscuous, and not committed to his relationship with George. When Joley does not get tenure, he shaves off his beard, which makes George realize how old, average looking, and sad Joley really is. George abandons Joley at the inn in Vermont, and Joley returns to New York City without George.
• '''Paul Schneider''' - A tall, skinny, unkempt newspaper publisher and reporter in Vermont, Paul is Jewish and very liberal. A year earlier, he broke up with his lover, Robert. He has a six-year-old son, Gabriel, who is an orphan from El Salvador whom Paul adopted. Paul is immensely attracted to George, and although George's dissembling and attempts to push Paul away anger Paul, Paul patiently works to help George become more at ease with their relationship. Paul has a habit of attributing to Gabriel the feelings he himself has.

• '''Molly Schneider''' - Paul's mother, she is a divorced woman who is a former member of the Communist Party USA. She spends most of her time as a political activist.
• '''Timothy''' - George's best friend, and an architect. He is highly opinionated, critical of almost everyone and everything, and is so afraid of intimacy that he sets George up on blind dates with anyone who shows an interest in himself.
• '''Gabriel Schneider''' - Nicknamed "Gabie", he is Paul's adopted son from El Salvador. He is very loud, and calls adults by their first name.

Season one of ''The Shannara Chronicles'' roughly follows the storylines set out in ''The Elfstones of Shannara'', set in the fictional Four Lands. As the series opens, demons start to return after being banished from this world to a place known as the Forbidding—locked by an ancient tree called the Ellcrys. The series chronicles the journey of Wil, Amberle and Eretria who, with the guidance of the last druid Allanon, must go on a quest to protect the Ellcrys from dying and releasing all the banished demons back into the Four Lands.

Doctor Colter Craven joins the wagon train

As Major Adams (Ward Bond) leads his wagon train through Utah's Monument Valley (using footage from Ford's 1950 frontier adventure/western ''Wagon Master'', which co-starred Bond), the trail cook, Charlie Wooster (Frank McGrath) informs the Major that the water supply is running low. At that point, the trail associate scout, Bill Hawks (Terry Wilson), rides up with news that he spotted smoke "three miles up ahead". When the Major asks him, "Fort Mescalero?" and then, "Think it's Apaches?", Hawks replies, "Well, Major, at thirty-two dollars a month, I ain't paid to think". The Major tells Hawks, "Hah, let's have a look. Come on".

The source of the smoke turns out to be cooking fire alongside a broken-wheeled lone horseless wagon stranded in the wilderness. In the wagon, the Major and Hawks encounter a semi-drunken gentleman who introduces himself as Colter Craven (Carleton Young) and calls for his wife, Allaryce (Anna Lee), who addresses him as "Doctor". He tells the Major that as far as Fort Mescalero was concerned, "I'm wanted out of there" and adds, "Major, if we may join your train… in return for... our transportation... I can offer a compendium of my… medical services". He then continues, "Major, the only thing that really lies ahead is… tomorrow. And tomorrow comes regardless of which way we're headin'".

Doctor Craven is unable to offer medical aid for a passenger expecting a difficult birth

During an evening rest stop, Doctor Craven hears from Major Adams that the wagon train is still intent upon heading to Fort Mescalero and explains that he cannot return there because he had refused to remove an inoperable bullet from Buck Clayton — "the Claytons run this part of the world". At that point, Creel Weatherby (Cliff Lyons), whose wife is expected to give birth soon, runs to the Major for help. The Major heads to the doctor, but he protests that "in a party this large, there must be at least fifty midwives". When Creel insists, Craven turns to his wife to ask if she would mind "going with this gentleman and looking at his wife". Taking full measure of the doctor's alcoholism, Major Adams then tells him that "among other things, we don't allow whisky on this train, except that which is used for medicinal purposes — and that we carry on my wagon". Spotting the doctor's supply of kegs marked "XXX", the Major asks, "what's in these kegs?". The doctor replies, "why… ah… uh… that's… uh… Formaldehyde, sir". The Major says, "I want to see the heads of those kegs knocked in. On this train we don't have any use for… Formaldehyde".

Inhospitable reception in Fort Mescalero

In another scene from ''Wagon Master'', which detailed a westward trek by a Mormon wagon train, men and women in Mormon garb are seen walking and riding through Monument Valley. The doctor and his wife are riding in the back of the Major's wagon, driven by Charlie. During the ride, the doctor reaches behind him to fill a cup from the "medicinal supply" barrel and shares a drink with Charlie. Upon arriving in Fort Mescalero, the Major tells Craven and his wife to "stay out of sight" and dips a bucket into the water trough. He is observed by Kyle (Ken Curtis) and his brother Quentin (Chuck Hayward) who shoots into the bucket. As the outraged Major demands an explanation, Kyle tells him that this is "our water" and Quentin calls him "Grandpa". The Major angrily exclaims, "Grandpa!", hits Quentin over the head with the bucket and slaps Kyle to the ground with the back of his hand. Chastened, Kyle tells him that "all this water belongs to us"…. "my pa…" The Major says, "Well then, shoulder up your sidekick and we'll go see your pa". As Quentin, holding his aching head, attempts to stand up, the Major kicks him in the posterior and shouts, "Come on, get up, there!" Reduced to helplessness, Kyle whines accusingly at the Major, "big bully".

Major Adams bargains for water, Craven sets a boy's broken leg and the river is reached

The Major, alongside the two humbled brothers, with Kyle holding up the unsteady Quentin, enters into a room where their aristocratically-mannered father, Park (John Carradine), wearing a dandified jacket atop a shirt with ruffled sleeves, is sitting on a throne-like chair at a heavily ornate table, building a house of cards, next to a mid-game chessboard. Slowly interrupting his task, he leans back and comments, "That's a most interesting tableau". The Major says, "I'm sorry I had to push your boys around out there, mister, but they were gettin' rambunctious". "My boys are simple enough without somebody hitting them on the head", replies Park. He subsequently offers to sell water at 25 dollars per barrel. "That's piracy", the Major shouts, offering a dime, maybe even 20 cents, stating "that water belongs to the Lord". Park is unmoved and responds, "the Lord didn't dig the wells — I did", but eventually an unspecified [the majority of scenes from the Fort Mescalero sequence were edited out] arrangement is reached allowing animals to be watered "at ten cents a head". The Major is forced to leave the fort without water, hoping to reach the nearest river before the trail's meager supply is gone. In the evening, as the wagons are stopped, an injured little boy, Jamie (Dennis Rush) is brought to Doctor Craven. With the boy's worried mother (Beula Blaze) watching, Craven skillfully diagnoses a broken leg and quickly sets it with splints.

Bill Hawks suggests letting the thirsty horses loose and, as they stampede to the nearest river (in still another scene from ''Wagon Master''), Bill follows them and is able to pinpoint the shortest, but hilly and barely passable, route to water. Footage of Mormon travelers is shown, as they walk alongside their wagons in Monument Valley. The terrain is very rough and the Major's wagon crashes and breaks apart. Extended excerpts from ''Wagon Master'' show the wagons moving through uneven rocky pathways, while horses are whipped and men are shouting. Finally, the river is reached and the Mormons drink and splash while their horses stand in water. The Major tells Charlie that the subject of his Sunday sermon will be "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" and pushes him off his horse into the river.

Doctor Craven explains that the Civil War left him a broken man

In the evening, Creel runs to inform Craven that his wife is ready to give birth. The doctor asks, "can't some of the women handle this?", but Allaryce tells him, "I've examined the woman. A caesarian section is indicated". Craven refuses to operate, even when Allaryce threatens to leave him if he does not help. As Major Adams tries to reason with him, Craven recounts that he could never perform proper surgery and that he paid for medical school with a job at a slaughterhouse. He tells the Major, "I graduated just in time for the war… Shiloh… eighteen thousand casualties… in that one campaign, seventy-two percent of my patients died…" The Major tells him, "…shock and gangrene… that wasn't your fault…" and continues, "…who do you think you are to sit in judgment of yourself?… what makes you think that you ought to be infallible?… what right have you got to make yourself personally responsible for the war?… I was at Shiloh… I had two hundred and twenty-three men… every one of them friends and neighbors… I came out with seventeen…"

Major Adams tells Doctor Craven about his own Civil War experiences

The Major has Charlie serve coffee, tells the doctor to sit down and says, "Let me tell you about a fella that I knew once, fella tried to solve his problem the same way you're tryin' to solve yours… He was in the Army… Captain… resigned his commission six years before the war…" The scene dissolves into a view of a Mississippi steamboat. The Major's voice continues, "I was in a little town in Illinois — Galena"… Bill Hawks and I had a little lumber outfit…" They see a man (Paul Birch), who Adams greets as Sam. Sam tells him, "I just came home, that's all". When Adams offers to buy him a drink later, Sam says, "Seth... I guess you came to the right man with that offer". He then goes to a woman waiting for him with two children. He embraces her and then the children. Two nosy townsmen, Hank (unbilled Hank Worden) and Jeb (unbilled Charles Seel) approach and tell Adams that "ol' Sam… got hisself kicked out of the Army… folks say he was doing' a little too much drinkin'… a regular drunk…" With a disgusted expression on his face, Adams responds that although he doesn't believe it, "folks say" that Jeb's "poor ol' ma died in a workhouse" and that Hank's young sister is "workin' in a dancehall down in St. Louis", which makes the two gossipers scurry away.

Sam's father (Willis Bouchey) and mother (unbilled Mae Marsh, who appeared in 17 Ford films between 1939 and 1964 — more than any other actress) sternly accept his return, with the father offering Sam a job in his tanning store, telling him, "...even though you are a failure…" A few years pass… Bill Hawks goes into Sam's father's tanning store and asks Sam the price of a saddle. Sam tells him the saddle is worth about fourteen dollars, but "we're asking thirty-two fifty for it". Sam's father appears, pushes Sam aside and offers to sell it for forty dollars, then thirty-eight, then thirty-six. As Bill leaves without buying, Sam follows him outside and sees Adams drilling volunteer soldiers for the war that is expected to start soon.

Walking into a local establishment's drinking area, Adams sees Sam at the bar and tells him that training raw recruits is a thankless task. Sam asks, "What's your rank, Seth?". "Sergeant major, Sam", Adams answers. Sam tells him, "You can lick boys, Seth, but you've got to lead men". Adams invites Sam to do a better job of training the raw recruits and Sam accepts. He stops drinking and, still wearing his tanner's apron, goes out and tells Adams to "take your post" in line with the men. He asks a man in uniform who has a big, wide smile on his face (unbilled Jack Pennick, who appeared in 41 Ford films [between 1928 and 1962], the highest number of any member of the Company), "Is that you Tim Molloy?". "Yes, sir", answers Molloy. Sam mentions how they served together in "Mexico, Chapultepec" and tells the men to observe how "to execute the manual of arms" as he puts Malloy through his paces and, over Adams's objections, tells him, "Molloy, you are now acting first sergeant". As the men march through the streets of Galena, Adams' voice is heard narrating, "In about a month, Sam had just worked wonders with that bunch of bedraggled misfits…heh…heh… they were ready for anything… and it was just in time, too, cause the Rebs had fired on Fort Sumter… and the Civil War was on".

Sam turns out to be a historical figure

Seen wearing a resplendent uniform, with a sword, Adams continues with his voiceover, describing how Galena residents organized a send-off ceremony, "I was a proud man that day standing' on that platform, sayin' goodbye to our congressman, the mayor and his wife and our friends and neighbors". Sam is also there and tells Adams, "I'm going with you as far as Springfield… I got a job in the governor's office… clerk… sharpening lead pencils…" As Adams prepares to lead his men out, Sam glances at the crowd, which includes his father and mother whose stern expressions still express disapproval, and embraces his little son and daughter. To his wife's question, "You aren't discouraged?", he replies, "no", and when she adds, "You'll be home soon", he says, "I'll be back". As the uniformed group marches towards the riverboat to the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", Sam joins them as the last marcher.

Accompanied by an image of a night battlefield, Adams' voice is heard proceeding with the story, "I didn't run across Sam again until just after Shiloh [April 6–7, 1862]… one of the worst days in American history… over thirty thousand casualties… that first night I was out lookin' for my wounded…" Adams meets Sam on the battlefield and lights Sam's cigar, illuminating his face. Sam tells Adams, "they run out of lead pencils… I managed to wangle my way back into the Army". As Adams asks Sam to take the second lieutenant's job held by Tim Molloy who was killed that day, Sam grimly replies, "I don't know, Seth… after today I'm not so sure I'm qualified to be a second lieutenant". As Adams persists, three uniformed men, indistinctly seen in darkness, arrive on horseback, with one of them dismounting and stating (in John Wayne's familiar voice), "Sam, Buell's up… Means we can resume fighting' in the mornin'". As "Battle Cry of Freedom" is gently heard on the soundtrack, Sam says, "Yes, we can resume in the morning… Cump... Colonel Lawler... I'd like you to meet a fellow townsman of mine, Major Seth Adams… General Sherman…" "Sam", Adams abashedly interjects, "I'm just a lieutenant". "Battlefield promotion, Seth", Sam says softly, "you've earned it… let's go, Cump… God bless you, Seth".

Major Adams' Civil War experiences help Doctor Craven to confront his own demons

"Ulysses Simpson Grant, Sam Grant", Adams' voice is heard, as he is now seen telling Doctor Craven the finishing words of his reminiscence concerning General Grant and the nickname he was known to his friends by, and, "and now he's the President of these United States of America [served March 1869 – March 1877]… he had a lot more responsibility than you doc… he used that responsibility… to redeem himself…" Craven is still unable to terms with his emotional disarray and grasping a scalpel in his fist, pitifully demands of Adams, "What am I going to do with a hand that can only hold a knife that way?" Adams stares angrily at him and replies, "You can cut your throat", then rises and walks aside. Craven's hand opens and is finally able to properly grasp the scalpel he was holding. He calls for his wife who tells him, "Colter, your patient is waitin'".

Another scene from ''Wagon Master'' depicts numerous people, horses and wagons moving through Monument Valley and then, during a rest stop, Creel distributes cigars to the Major, Charlie, Bill and Doctor Craven, telling him that although he planned to name his newborn son after Robert E. Lee, "Myra and I would like your permission to name 'im after you". Craven thanks him, "but I would prefer that you name him after a very special hero of mine, Ulysses Simpson Grant". "Why, that's a Yankee name", shouts Creel but, with Adams, Charlie, and Bill glaring sternly at him, quickly warms up to the idea. As Charlie grabs all the remaining cigars, the Major yells at him and then turns on Bill, "and what do you get paid for?" "So you can yell at me", Bill shouts back into the Major's face. In ever-increasing close-up, the Major enthusiastically yells, "All right, everybody… let's get our teams hitched up… we pull outa here in fifteen minutes… come on, we gotta river to cross… Wagoooooooons hoooooooo…..". The final scene (taken, again, from ''Wagon Master'') depicts wagons crossing a river in a Utah valley.

'''Book II'''

Andrea spends time recovering at the home of his cousin Francesca, in the Villa Schifanoja. During this time he composes several poems. On 15 September 1886 Maria Ferres arrives to the villa along with her husband (who leaves shortly after) and daughter, Delfina. 10 days later, on 25 September, Andrea is seduced by Maria Ferres (unbeknownst to her). Andrea finally declares his love for Maria but she demurs because her daughter is present. Maria keeps a diary during these days, in which she writes down her own feelings about the events that transpire and of her love for Andrea. Finally, on 4 October, Maria tells Andrea that she loves him. Her husband returns and the two lovers are separated.

'''Book III'''

Once he returns to Rome, Andrea resumes his decadent lifestyle, as it was before his injury: he spends time with women of the demimonde and superficial, indifferent friends. Restless and full of bitterness, he meets Maria Ferres. His attraction to his old lover, in her new role as temptress, and his fascination with Maria for her pureness and fragility, become intertwined in his mind. He therefore tries to seduce Elena in again, in the palace where he'd first possessed her, Palazzo Barberini, but her husband appears and he immediately gives up. Soon after, Andrea spends time at Maria Ferres' house in Rome, where they talk. The next night, the two meet again at a concert at the Philharmonic, which Elena also attends. Elena becomes jealous of the couple and before leaving, asks Andrea to accompany her to her carriage where she kisses him passionately. Andrea then has a moral crisis but ultimately decides to pursue Maria, whom he loves. This does not stop him from still dreaming about Elena.

'''Book IV'''

Rejected by Elena's cold nature, Andrea learns through friends that Maria's husband has fallen into financial ruin caused by gambling. Maria remains strong in the face of her pain and tells Andrea that he must remain faithful to her. Andrea, however, is struggling to conceal his "doppio gioco," literally, double game, that he has been playing, wherein he has been courting Maria and Elena without either of them knowing about the other. After seeing Elena leave her house to visit a new lover, Andrea becomes distressed. He then visits Maria and inadvertently calls out Elena's name while the two are having sex. Maria is horrified and leaves him. Andrea begins avoiding his friends and acquaintances, but one day decides to go to an auction of Maria's husband's estate. There he buys an armoire and returns home just as it is being delivered. The novel closes with him slowly following the armoire up the steps into Palazzo Zuccari.

'''Topics'''

The central theme is that of the decadent esthete. The novel is a central text of the Italian decadent literary movement, Decadentism. D'Annunzio was inspired by Huysmans's pioneering work, À Rebours which also strongly influenced Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. The esthete Andrea is a nobleman who loves only art, and who is dedicated to the veneration of a woman, Elena. Elena's chimerical nature, however, destroys the balance of the protagonist, and reveals her to be a kind of femme fatale. The style of the novel is also of utmost importance: d'Annunzio adopts a unique brand of writing replete with courtly neologisms, frequently inflected with assonance and consonance. The work's insistence on a unique, pure language may account for its quasi- mannerist and baroque tones.

The story is set in the Abruzzo region, the birthplace of the author. The noble aesthete Giorgio Aurispa, besotted with his unhappily-married lover Ippolita, leaves Rome after witnessing a suicide. After a brief interlude with Ippolita in Albano, Giorgio receives a telegram from his mother, who lives in the small mountain village of Guardiagrele. Giorgio arrives in the beautiful city of stone, and is fascinated by the sculptures; however, he is equally haunted by popular superstitions and the memories of the suicide of his uncle Demetrio, whom he had loved as a father. Worse, Giorgio discovers that his actual father has squandered the family fortune, forcing his mother and siblings to live in poverty while he carries on with a prostitute. Giorgio curses his father, abandoning his family, and runs to the sea, buying a house on a hill in San Vito Chietino. Ippolita joins him, and the two pursue a summer of decadent languor marred only by Giorgio's developing paranoia towards her.

Giorgio is additionally obsessed with death, and matters only become worse after the pair undertake a pilgrimage to the shrine of Casalbordino, where the multitude of desperate supplicants begging cures of the statue of the Madonna drives them away in horror. While Giorgio becomes more and more unmoored and desperate to leave both Abruzzo and what he perceives as Ippolita's unwholesome influence, she remains amused and fascinated by their surroundings. Finally Giorgio decides that his only recourse is to carry her over a seaside cliff, killing the both of them.

In central California, hitchhiker Dan Flynn comes across drunken Ben Monks, passed out at the wheel of his parked car. While Dan is combing through Ben's wallet to locate his address, Chip Klamp drives by and, after accusing Dan of planning to rob Ben, proclaims that Ben is "a bad man" and drives away. Dan drives Ben home, where Ben's wife Angela invites him in. Angie, who married the much older Ben because he promised her there was millions of dollars worth of oil on his farm, has grown weary of his alcoholism and abusiveness. Attracted to Dan, she offers him a job on the farm, and with no other prospects, he accepts. In the morning, Ben gruffly negotiates a low wage for Dan, and over the next days pushes him to work long hours.

One night, after Angie informs Dan about the oil, he is about to kiss her when Ben drives up. Two weeks go by during which Dan chafes under Ben's ill-treatment. One afternoon, upon seeing Ben whipping his overburdened horse, Dan tries to intercede and when Ben snaps the whip on Dan's back, Dan punches him. Back at the house, Angie defends Ben as a sad old man, after which Dan lashes out at her. When he apologizes, she begs him to stay. Later, Chip, who used to date Angie, informs her that he has had his neighboring land surveyed and discovered there is no oil; he then tells Ben that Angie is having an affair with Dan. A drunken Ben drives home without realizing that young runaway Gilda Hadley is hiding in his back seat.

At the farm, when Ben accuses Angie of cheating, she retorts that he lied about the oil and calls him old, prompting him to hit her, after which he pleads with her not to leave him. Ben retreats to the barn, where he finds Gilda and agrees to hide her in the loft. Dan arrives with the veterinarian, hoping to save Ben's ailing horse, but they are too late. Ben throws a bottle at Dan, who attacks him, but their fight is cut short by the entrance of the sheriff, who is searching for Gilda. Despite the sheriff's offer to share the reward offered by her wealthy father, Ben declares that he has not seen the girl. Meanwhile, Angie visits Dan as he packs to leave. Assuming she told Ben that they were lovers, Dan rejects her advances, then returns to the barn to demand his pay from Ben. Finding Ben on the ground, Dan assumes he is passed out and takes his car, not knowing that Gilda is again hiding in it.

On the road, Gilda tells Dan that she is running away from her boyfriend, and that she dropped her locket in the Monkses' barn. Chip sees Ben's car pass and heads to the barn, where the sheriff has found Ben, dead from a head wound. Upon spotting the locket on the ground, Chip pockets it surreptitiously. That night, Gilda admits to Dan that she is fleeing to protest her father's remarriage, two years after her mother's death. Although she tries to seduce Dan, he firmly rebuffs the teenager, instead offering to help her return home. As soon as they stop, however, Dan is spotted by the police and arrested for Ben's murder.

At the trial, Angie vouches for Dan's trustworthiness but her testimony about his fights with Ben damage Dan's case. With strong circumstantial evidence against Dan, who was the last to see Ben alive, his only hope lies in locating Gilda, who was watching from the loft and so may have seen the real killer. His lawyer is granted three days to find her, and while they wait, Chip visits Angie to demand her attentions. She throws him out, and after he drops his wallet, she discovers the locket inside and brings it to Dan's lawyer.

Soon after, Gilda turns herself in and takes the witness stand, where she recounts what happened the night Ben died: After the other men leave, Ben climbs into the loft and tries to assault Gilda. In self-defense, she pushes him to the ground, and thinking he is merely unconscious, flees to his car. After exhibiting Gilda's locket as evidence of her presence in the barn, Dan's lawyer asks for more time to uncover the murder weapon, and soon a bloody anvil is found buried in the hay in the barn. The judge rules that the death occurred accidentally when Ben fell from the loft and hit his head on the anvil, and Dan is freed. As Chip is brought before the judge to be punished for withholding evidence, Gilda's father offers Dan a job in Los Angeles and Gilda hugs Dan goodbye. As he is leaving, Dan hears his lawyer thank Angie for her help, and he tells her she is a "swell gal." Although Angie is in love with Dan, she bravely bids him goodbye.

The events leading up to the killing of the outlaw Jesse James in 1882.

Red Adair–type former Navy Frogman Vic Scott is on vacation in Venezuela when a huge oil fire at a well of his rich friend erupts. While romancing a newly-famous novelist from New York a colleague locates him and persuades him to help put out the blaze, just as theirs is starting.

More romance than adventure for the first two-thirds of the film, ''Maracaibo'' ultimately settles down to dramatic scenes of underwater work to extinguish the fire before a huge storm arrives. The action is interrupted from time to time to explore the romantic angle, including scenes between Abbe Lane's character and Cornel Wilde's, who were lovers only a few years prior—though she is now engaged to the rich oil baron.

Will her past be revealed? Will the New York author get her man? Will Vic Scott put out the fire near Maracaibo before it reaches the city, then finally settle down?

The action starts as someone trips a Fire alarm call box. Then, the fire station alarm bell clangs, a fire dispatcher utters, "We roll - Third and Western." All the firefighters spring into action. We pay particular attention to engine number seven, a Steam pumper, manned by an aging fireman. The doors fling open, and the two horse-drawn fire engines barrel down the street to fight the fire. The firefighter driving engine number seven is Dan McDowell. Dan is a twenty-year veteran of the force. Dan not only drives engine number seven but also cares for the station's five fire horses.

At the McDowell house, which stands caddy-corner from the fire station, mother McDowell is frosting Dan's birthday cake with the couple's daughter. Alice. Johnny McDowell joins the group. Johnny is studying to become a doctor and has only a year left. We meet Johnny's sweetheart, June Rutherford.

At the fire station house, the battalion chief drives up and tells the boys they will motorize the station first. All the men cheer, except Dan. Dan goes home to attend his birthday party. The day of the changeover arrives. The fire crew watches the new motorized Steam pumper pull in. Later, the chief sells the five fire horses. Dan must now learn to drive the new motorized engine. He struggles to master driving skills. Unable to drive the new rig, the chief retires Dan McDowell on a small pension.

Dan's foremost concern now is Johnny's medical career. Dan tells Johnny he hasn't got enough money to support his medical studies. Johnny tells his father not to worry because his sweetheart is the daughter of a famous surgeon - Dr. Loren Rutherford.

Dan tells Johnny when he was young, his brother got sick. The boy's physician told Dan that only one man could save the boy - Dr. Loren Rutherford. Dan storms into Dr. Rutherford's office and pleads with the Dr. to save his boy. Dr. Rutherford says he can't save Dan's son because he must save another life first. Dan tells Johnny he will never forget that Dr. Rutherford let his young brother die.

To make ends meet, Dan gets a job as a ditch digger. While working one day, he notices Bullet nuzzling up against him. Bullet had been pulling a dirt wagon but visited Dan. Bullet's supervisor finds his horse and abuses the animal. Dan tries to stop him but is beat up. Johnny happens upon the altercation and beats up Bullet's handler. After threatening the supervisor, Johnny forces Dan to quit this job. Johnny decides to lifts Dan's financial burdens. He drops out of medical school and applies for a job at the fire station. The chief knows Johnny and makes him a firefighter.

The next day, the police arrive at the McDowell household. They claim a fire horse is missing and blame Johnny. The police have a search warrant and find "Bullet" in Dan's shed. The police demand to know where Johnny is. Dan confesses to the crime to save his son. The police take Dan to jail.

A fire breaks out in the Rutherford apartment building. June Rutherford lives on the top floor. She evacuates with the other residents when she discovers her small dog is missing. She goes back into the flaming building but becomes trapped by the flames.

Johnny is at the fire station when the fire bell clangs. He finds out the fire is at the new Rutherford apartments. The dispatcher says they only respond if it becomes a third alarm. Freddie is selling newspapers when he reads about Dan's arrest for a horse thief. He rushes to the fire station and tells the chief he found Bullet on the street and locked him up in Dan's woodshed. The chief says he will free Dan.

Meanwhile, at the fire, they call in a third alarm. June finds a balcony and starts screaming for help. The nearest fire truck raises a ladder to rescue her, but the ladder is too short. A fireman scrambles up the ladder–it is Johnny trying to save June. The apartment walls are collapsing, and the battalion chief orders his men to safety. The wall supporting the end of the ladder collapses, but Johnny hooks a Scaling ladder to the balcony railing and rescues June. Now they must descend to ground level. While June and the dog hang on to his back, he descends to the balcony below.

Dan has secured his release from Prison and rushes to the scene of the fire. He helps his fellow firemen handle the hoses. A large safe smashes through the apartment floors. Johnny and June survived the fall, but the safe has blocked their escape.

Meanwhile, Dr. Rutherford finds Dan and begs him to save his daughter. Dan has flashbacks about his adolescent son. He brushes the Doctor aside. Bullet, working the night shift, hears the fire alarm, breaks free of his reins, and heads towards the flames. Dan is struggling with a way to save Johnny and June when Bullet shows up.

Dan knows a way to save the couple. He mounts Bullet, rides through the flames, arrives at the spot, and starts throwing ropes around the safe. Dan then urges Bullet to pull the safe free. Bullet frees Johnny and June.

The fire is controlled, and the scene switches to a farmhouse in the country. Dan finds out that Dr. Rutherford has bought a small farm with enough pasture to take care of all the fire horses; Dan will become the caretaker. It fades out with Dan holding Bullet.

During the Spanish Civil War, a detective from Scotland Yard falls in love with a woman he had believed to be a jewel thief.

The novel follows a family in crisis, breaking down under the weight of family violence, drugs, lost opportunities and general neglect.

In post-World War II Italy, Malvina is on her deathbed at her ancestral home. She tells Jakob, her adolescent son, that another woman will come, a woman who will love him, and that the next words he speaks will call Malvina back to him.

Seven months later a British nurse specializing in children’s care, Verena, arrives. Jakob hasn't spoken since his mother died and Verena is the latest English-speaking (per Malvina's wishes) nurse recruited by Klaus, Jakob's father. Verena meets estate keeper Alessio and retired house maid Lilia. Though polite, Jakob is cold and distant.

Verena learns that Malvina's family owned the estate and surrounding quarries for 1,200 years. Malvina was the first descendant not to run the quarry, instead becoming a world famous pianist. Since most of the men who worked there died during the second world war, she allowed the quarry to flood, though Alessio still lights a flame for long-dead quarrymen, proclaiming "Life. Death. Love. The stone was everything."

When Verena looks in on Jakob one night, she finds him with his ear to the stone wall in his room, listening. Klaus fears that Jakob believes he can hear Malvina in the stone. Verena worries that she is inadequate and that Jakob's condition requires a mental health specialist.

When Verena sees Jakob on the ledge of a tall tower, she endangers herself to rescue him – making her (and Jakob) realize that she cares for him and must stay to help him. She caringly explains that the voice he hears is real, but that it is just his mind playing tricks on him. The next day Verena sees him listening to Malvina's tombstone in the family mausoleum. Alessio informs her that 40 generations are buried there "in the stone". Verena, who was orphaned around Jakob's age, tells the boy that she already knows that wishing to hear dead loved ones does not make it happen.

Verena, who cannot play piano, encourages the gifted Jakob to do so, as he has refused to play since Malvina died. Lilia, a confidant to Malvina, develops a close relationship with Verena. Lilia visits her room most evenings to talk about Jakob, and Malvina, and Verena's disconnected life of helping, then having to leave, a series of children.

Verena becomes more attached to the stone, listening to walls, the quarry and even Malvina's tomb. She tears her skirt one day and Lilia gives her a dress of Malvina's. This initially angers Klaus, but upon seeing Verena in a state of undress, he notices the striking physical similarity between Verena and his wife. Klaus has stalled on making a sculpture of Malvina, and Verena agrees to model nude so the statue can be completed. Verena starts dreaming about sleeping with Klaus.

Verena catches Jakob listening to the stone wall in Malvina's near empty bedroom. She joins him and hears Malvina's voice, confirming that her spirit is living in the stone. Verena speaks to a picture of Malvina, promising to care for both Jakob and Klaus. She sleeps with Klaus after he finishes his work on the statue, and Jakob becomes friendlier towards her, though still remaining silent.

Klaus feels guilty and decides to fire her since Jakob still isn't speaking. Distraught, and suffering from the same fever Malvina had, Verena pleads with Jakob to speak so that she will not be sent away. When she does leave, Klaus suddenly begs her to stay in his and Jakob's lives. She wants to ask Lilia's advice, only to learn that Lilia committed suicide on the day of Malvina's death. As she flees the house she collapses and is carried to Malvina's bedroom.

In her fevered state, she has numerous hallucinations. She sees Lilia, then sees Alessio entombing her with Malvina, who runs her hand over Verena's face. When Verena wakes up on the bed, seemingly recovered, Jakob sees her and finally speaks, "I miss my mama", to which Verena replies, "I'm right here". "Verena", who now wears Malvina's signature ring and plays the piano flawlessly, says that "I hardly know the woman I see. We are, none of us, quite who we were." Alessio is pleased to see that "Malvina" is back, restoring the happy family.

Jacob Harlon is a successful stockbroker living with his wife, Katherine, and son Joshua, in California. One night, he drives his wife and friends home under the influence and causes a collision which kills one of his friends. After taking a plea deal, Jacob is sentenced to 16 months at the California Institution for Men in Chino.

On his first night inside, Harlon overhears the gang rape of a fellow inmate and quickly decides his only chance at survival is to go on the offensive. The next day, he stands his ground and attacks an African-American inmate when provoked, drawing the attention of Bottles, the “shot caller” for the white supremacist gang PENI; in return for protection and entry into the gang, Jacob is forced to smuggle heroin and kill a snitch. Over time, Harlon rises in rank, obtains the alias “Money”, and grows even more hardened by prison life. During a riot, Harlon stabs another inmate to save the life of the head of the Sureños, earning him respect from other gang leaders, but is caught on camera and sentenced to five years (to run concurrently to his original sentence) as a result. Harlon then ceases all contact with his family, demanding that they move on and forget him. Harlon is eventually transferred to Corcoran State Prison where he is introduced to "The Beast", the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood there. Impressed with Harlon's dedication, The Beast promotes him to his second-in-command.

As he is set to be released, Harlon is ordered by The Beast to orchestrate a weapons deal with the Sureños. Though Harlon is initially hesitant as he will be on parole, he eventually relents after The Beast threatens his family. Upon release, he is greeted by "Shotgun" and other gang members, including Howie, a young Afghanistan war veteran with no criminal record. Harlon survives an attack at a party and orders Howie to answer to no one but him.

Harlon's parole officer Ed Kutcher is tipped off about the weapons deal and places Harlon under surveillance, who then discovers that Shotgun is Kutcher's informant. After Harlon transfers his finances to his wife, she brings Joshua to meet him against his wishes, and has a brief emotional breakdown after realizing his son has grown up without him. On the day of the deal, Harlon evades his surveillance and kills Shotgun at his home. Kutcher finds Shotgun dead and discovers his cellphone has a message about the pending gun deal. After meeting the Sureños, Harlon texts their coordinates to Shotgun's cellphone. Realizing that Shotgun hid more of the weapons to sell himself, Harlon warns Howie to leave the criminal life and forces him out of their vehicle. As the deal closes, the police, ATF, and SWAT—alerted by Harlon's text—surround the gangs; only Howie manages to escape and watches from a distance, realizing Harlon saved his life.

Fully validated, Harlon is sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole. He turns down Kutcher's offer to testify against The Beast in exchange for a full pardon. Harlon is returned to Corcoran where The Beast, having learned Harlon alerted authorities to the location of the raid, tells him his family will be killed. Harlon had anticipated The Beast's retaliation and concealed a handcuff key and a razor blade in a butt safe. He frees himself and confronts The Beast in his cell. After a brief fight, Harlon cuts The Beast's jugular vein and kills him. He orders a prison guard to report that he acted in self-defense. He then assumes The Beast's place as gang leader.

With his family's safety secured, Harlon accepts his life sentence, and notifies Kutcher about the remaining weapons. He receives a letter from Joshua, explaining that he and Katherine are moving on, living a successful and happy life, and that he has forgiven his father. Harlon is moved emotionally as he looks at pictures of his former life with his family, and accepts that sacrificing his own freedom to kill The Beast was the only way he could protect his family from his enemies. Harlon then goes outside to exercise in the yard.

Story

Tomoki Nagamine attempts to confess his love to an upperclassman named Sayuki Ayase; however, he does not succeed in doing so, being caught off by a sad expression on her face. In the meantime, he works alongside his crush Sayuki in the library committee. One day, after wandering into a seemingly-abandoned library, the library manager Misuzu gives Tomoki a diary called "Your Diary", telling him that the book chose him. A cute girl introducing herself as Yua—who is the goddess of happiness—comes bursting out of the book and informs Tomoki that all his happiest memories will be recorded in his diary. The story mostly revolves around Tomoki interacting with the four heroines (in later versions, seven) and eventually forming a romantic relationship with one.

He hears that the baby has been left there as it is the child of a prostitute, and that such a child is left there every one or two months. He is told that it would have been better to have buried the baby, instead of leaving it for the animals.

Qadir takes the baby to the home of rich man Yousuf, (Talat Hussain). Zainab (Bushra Ansari), Yousuf's maid, asks Qadir why he brought an 'illegal' baby to Yousuf's home. Qadir reminds Zainab about what Yousuf said when they found a dead baby in the drain.

Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast is approached by Percival Lake, a sculptor who wishes to hire him as a private investigator. On returning from vacation to his home in Exmouth, Massachusetts, Lake discovered that thieves had stolen his wine collection from the cellar of the lighthouse he calls his home and frustrated by the local police, he wishes to hire Pendergast to investigate. Lured by the promise of a rare bottle of wine as payment, Pendergast and his ward Constance Greene accept the job.

While examining the wine cellar, Pendergast discovers an alcove that has been concealed which contains manacles and fragments of human bone. An analysis of the bone reveals that it dates back to the 1840s and Pendergast concludes that it belongs to the captain of the ''Pembroke Castle'', a ship that disappeared without a trace off the coast of Exmouth. However, their investigation is interrupted by the murder of Morris McCool, an historian looking into local legends. Arcane symbols are carved into his body, as is the word "Tybane". Pendergast and Greene learn that local lore tells stories of a group of genuine witches who fled Salem after the witch trials and settled in the wetlands outside Exmouth. Pendergast dismisses this as superstition, believing that McCool's killer is playing to the locals' fears. A second body, that of local lawyer Dana Dunwoody, is found shortly thereafter.

By retracing McCool's work, Pendergast learns that the ''Pembroke Castle'' was carrying twenty-one flawless rubies known as the "Pride of Africa". He concludes that the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883—an event felt around the world—meant that the Exmouth whaling industry fell on hard times. In their desperation, the whalers extinguished the lighthouse and lit a bonfire to lead the ''Pembroke Castle'' to run aground in the hopes of looting it. When no riches were found, the whalers slaughtered the passengers and crew and locked the captain in the lighthouse cellar. Sworn to secrecy about the rubies, the captain swallowed them where they were forgotten until McCool inadvertently uncovered their existence. This leads Pendergast to Dana Dunwoody and his brother Joe who manipulated their illegitimate brother Dunkan, a transient living in the swamp, into killing McCool. Dunkan then killed Dana when Dana did not pay him as promised.

With Joe and Dunkan arrested, Pendergast considers the case closed. Constance is unwilling to accept this as her research into the witches' coven has turned up inconsistencies. She and Pendergast have a fight and Constance decides to carry on with her investigation alone. As a storm closes in that night, several residents of Exmouth are slaughtered by a monstrous creature. Pendergast realises that Constance's theory that the witches' covern survived is provable and that she is in danger.

Constance follows the covern's trail to Oldham, a village on a nearby island that was abandoned after a hurricane in 1938. She discovers a vast network of cisterns and tunnels under the island where the covern practice satanic rituals. The monster wreaking havoc in Exmouth is Morax, a man with a genetic mutation whose monstrous appearance is the product of selective breeding by the covern. Constance is met by Bradley Gavin, the Exmouth deputy chief of police, who reveals that a large portion of the town were part of the covern. With Morax turning on the covern, Gavin is now its leader, and he plans to take Constance as his wife to consolidate his rule. Constance refuses and is saved by Morax, who has returned to Oldham. She escapes as Morax attacks and kills Gavin. Lost in the tunnels, she is met by Pendergast, who has followed her. Pendergast realises that while the murders of McCool and Dunwoody threw the covern into crisis as it risked their exposure, releasing Morax was not part of the plan; someone else is responsible. They confront Morax again as they escape the tunnels and the three fall into the ocean. Constance is washed ashore and saved by the arrival of a SWAT team responding to the massacre in Exmouth. Morax is swept out to sea and is presumed to have drowned and Pendergast disappears.

Several months later, and with no sign of Pendergast, Constance decides to return to her life in the sprawling basement of Pendergast's New York mansion. Proctor, Pendergast's driver who is now charged with her care, objects, but Constance has made up her mind. An intruder breaks into the mansion and takes Proctor captive; Proctor recognises him as someone Pendergast believed to be dead. The intruder injects him with sodium pentothal and Proctor falls unconscious.

A young member of the We Are Robin movement named Travis sparks a citywide response to teenage vigilantes called "The Robin Laws", which make any visual or verbal identification with the movement illegal. Councilwoman Noctua spearheads the legislation, doing so to earn her place in the Court of Owls. Duke Thomas, leader of one of the cells of the movement, calls a meeting, which is interrupted by Damian Wayne, current Robin, who objects rather violently to anyone else claiming the title. James Gordon, current Batman, protests Noctua's orders to capture all of the Robins, but follows them when she refuses to relent. Damian takes him down, and Tim Drake and Jason Todd intervene, telling Damian to wait for Dick Grayson, the original Robin, current agent of Spyral. The Court of Owls murders Travis before he can follow Duke's guidance and stop the escalation of the war by turning himself in.

Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian train the Robin movement and lead them on several missions, all of which turn out to be Dick's plan to have the authorities capture all of the Robins except himself to keep them safe. They are taken to a vast secret prison facility nicknamed "The Cage" which houses a large number of aerial barred cells reminiscent of bird cages. Grayson runs into Gordon, and together, they determine that Noctua seems to be benefitting from the war. The Cage is taken over by the Owls, who force Tim and Jason to fight to the death.

They've convinced Damian to join them to save Gotham as a ploy for Grayson to save the younger Robin by joining himself. Gordon and the Robins manage to destroy the Elite Talons, but Grayson joins the Owls to save Damian and end the war. Duke and Damian seem to become friends as the aftermath of their ordeals. As Dick meets with his brothers in the Batcave and explains his whereabouts during the fight with the Elite Talons, Jason, Tim and Damian voice their concerns about trusting Dick when they feel he isn't being honest. Dick reconfirms his dedication to his brothers and reasserts himself as the leader, by reminding the three about why they have followed Bruce through it all in the first place: Family. Afterwards, Grayson is welcomed to the newly expanded, international '''Parliament of Owls''', as he complies and says, "I'm not Robin".

A couple is kissing in a hotel room, astrophysics professor Ed (Jeremy Irons) and his lover the PhD student Amy Ryan (Olga Kurylenko). They can meet only occasionally, when Ed's work brings them together. He challenges her to reveal more of herself, perhaps something that bothers her but that she kept secret from him, but she refuses. Ed leaves the room for the airport hoping to see her at his next conference at her University. Next to her studies Amy has free-lance jobs as stuntwoman who is not afraid to perform dangerous scenes that normally lead to the death of the character: the movie shows her in action on occasion. She is even asked to model for a sculpture when this seems to demand near-suffocation.

It is shown later that Amy met Ed at one of his conferences 6 years ago and she fell in love with his way of talking about astrophysics. She keeps communicating with Ed through video chat, e-mails, and packages. One day, Amy realizes he is not attending his mobile phone but receives some emails from him. When reading the last one, she notices a maple leaf hitting her window, she watches it for a moment before it flies away.

The next day, Amy attends Ed's conference, but she receives a message in her phone from Ed to leave the place, but she doesn't. In the conference she learns that Ed died in Edinburgh some days earlier. She is shocked that she is still receiving messages from Ed's email account. Confused but eager to investigate she goes to Edinburgh. First she tries to go to Ed's home, but she feels uncomfortable to see Ed's family. She then receives an email instructing her to go to see his lawyer. There she receives a package with a video message, where Ed apologizes to her for having left her alone, but he cannot reveal to her he was sick.

Back home Amy decides to go to the same hotel where they shared the nights and she receives a package with one of his clothes and a letter instructing her to celebrate his birthday in his summer house in Italy, on an island in a mountain lake. She travels there where she receives a package containing a new laptop and another video where he celebrates his birthday but decided to give her the laptop as a present. She spends the rest of the time seeing the places that he suggests her to visit. In the last night she receives another video message revealing that he knows her darkest secret, an accident she feels she may have caused that killed her father. She angrily burns the CD with the video and sends an encrypted message (11 times the name AMY) to stop all his messages, and goes back home.

Later, Amy regrets having cancelled the chain of messages. She asks one of her colleagues from the movie industry to recover whatever he can from the burnt CD, but with minimal luck despite help from a friend in the Secret Service. Instead, he suggests that the camera used to record the messages might still have a copy. Despondent, she travels back to Edinburgh, where she finally confronts Ed's daughter who initially reveals her anger for her father's great love, but eventually decides to help her after admitting her envy of her father's love for Amy. However, Amy could not get additional information from Ed's daughter. In addition, Amy visits Ed's faithful lawyer again, who reveals to her that he was asked to give her the packages and messages according to a plan he has set up in the last few months of his life, to the point of hacking his email account so that the messages that appear to go to Ed actually go to a person who then follows Ed's instructions, from long ago, what to do in those cases. One of those correspondents is Ed's lawyer again, who has messages from Ed for her but, since the correspondence has stopped on Amy's request, tells her that the only way he can had those over is if Ed tells him to do so. She makes her way back to Ed's summer house in Italy, where Octavio the trusted ferry man eventually gives her a bag that Ed had lost on the beach when he left for the last time to die. That bag contains memory cards with Ed's last videos that show Ed trying to film while suffering the symptoms of a brain tumor. Meanwhile, she decides to use the new laptop to begin filming herself speaking about herself like sending messages to Ed, even revealing the details of the accident that killed her father.

One day, Amy finds her home ravaged by robbers and her new laptop stolen, but in the mess she notices Ed's old notebook with pencil impressions marks of his last letter. With a soft pencil the impressions come out. With this information she realizes that she used the wrong code to resume the correspondence: it should have been 10 times the name "ED", not 11 times. Inspired by Ed's returning messages, who challenge Amy to reconnect with her mother and to finish her doctoral thesis, she puts her life together again. In her stunt work she even accepts to do a stunt she had refused to do earlier: a car stunt that is very similar to the accident in which her father died. Amy survives again, but the stuntman in the same seat that her father died feigns death as well. Once she has overcome her trauma she concentrate only on her studies.

Encouraged by Ed's messages, Amy reconnects with her mother, where she eventually receives one of Ed's messages that help her to finish up with her PhD. In a series of Ed's letters that seem to anticipate what she would do. From the medical doctor that treated Ed during his last months she learns that Ed has set up this whole charade in an attempt to keep Amy happy for some time. That demanded cooperation for Ed's friends: most gave that, but the doctor thought it was a bad idea and refused. In any case Amy continues to get further instructions including from Ed's daughter after she has obtained her degree. The last one instructs her to go to another lawyer's office, where she finds out that she has inherited the summer house in Italy. She flies there and receives a last message from Ed where he reflects that humanity made a mistake that prevents them from immortality. For him, his mistake was not knowing Amy before, and with this message he sends his final farewell to her.

Amy goes back and attends an exposition, where she sees the statue she modeled for but not the proper one he hired her for: instead, the artist realized the sadness expressed by the failed cast she modeled, in which she did not remain still but could not hide her emotions of dealing with Ed's death. The artist explains that he's tried to find the person who modeled the statue but doesn't realize that Amy is right there. She leaves. Outside she a colleague from the movie stunt business who has tried to reach her, in vain because she has cut off much of her communication channels. While he's been interested in her all along, it is only now that she recognized the younger man that Ed's messages have predicted she would see and "would be a little like him", thereby giving her permission to move beyond her love for Ed. For that same evening Amy refuses his invitation for a drink, but promises to call him later. She walks back home by herself, under a sky full of stars.

The game takes place shortly after the conclusion of ''Baldur's Gate'' and centers on a mysterious crusade to the north of Baldur's Gate city, led by a warrior named Caelar Argent who is known as the Shining Lady.

The story begins several weeks after Sarevok's death, with the player character's party hunting the remains of Sarevok's forces in the sewers and catacombs of the city. Shortly after, word arrives in the city of Caelar Argent's crusade, warning that she is making her way down along the Sword Coast and threatening the city. The player is sent with a contingent of Flaming Fist soldiers (sent by Duke Eltan) to halt Argent's advance at Dragonspear Castle. The company is joined by forces from several other major cities of the Coast who are also threatened by Argent's crusade. Throughout the journey, the player is visited by a hooded man who teaches the player more about his heritage and how to use it.

The main river crossing is destroyed by Caelar's forces, and the coalition is forced to cross at the last standing bridge along the river where Bhaal, the player's father, had been killed by the mad god Cyric years earlier. After driving Argent's forces back, the player suffers a vision of Bhaal's death and burns his symbol into the bridge, lowering the morale of the coalition soldiers. The player's party must sneak into Dragonspear Castle and learn what they can about Argent and gather intel on her forces. Inside the castle, the player discovers Argent's chief lieutenant communicating with an unknown source before they are discovered and forced to leave the castle without gathering any information.

The coalition attacks Dragonspear castle after successfully repelling an attack from Caelar's army, and destroys most of her forces. Caelar is trapped in the keep, so she has her chief lieutenant Hephernaan cast a paralysis spell over the whole keep. However, his spell traps Caelar as well and his true intentions are revealed: he planned to use the Bhaalspawn's blood to open the portal to the Nine Hells to unleash his master and his army upon the Material Plane. Caelar and her surviving men, along with the player and their party, travel into the portal to stop Hephernaan. It is revealed that Hephernaan's master is Belhifet, a demon who was cast into the Nine Hells as punishment one hundred years prior. After defeating him and Hephernaan, Argent reveals that her true intention was to free her uncle from the Nine Hells and all the death that has occurred has been in pursuit of retrieving him. Caelar stays behind to seal the portal, trapping herself in the Nine Hells forever as punishment for her actions.

The player returns to the Material Plane and the coalition celebrates Caelar's defeat at Dragonspear. Later that night, the player suffers a nightmare of an avatar of Bhaal attacking him. It is revealed that the "avatar" was Skie Silvershield, a companion from the first game and the only child of Grand Duke Entar Silvershield, one of the dukes of Baldur's Gate. The player is arrested and dragged back to the city in irons. Many call for the player to be executed, but Grand Duke Belt informs the player that he will be smuggled out of the city in order to avoid execution as a reward for all the service that he has done for the city. After escaping the city, the player is met by Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Khalid, and Jaheira, who promise to always travel with the player. Shortly after, they are ambushed by unseen figures, setting up the beginning of ''Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn''. It is also revealed that the hooded man is Jon Irenicus, the antagonist of the second game.

The protagonist of the film is professor Kosta Vujić who in the mid-19th century taught an extraordinarily talented generation of gymnasium students, some of whom would go on to become prominent members of the Serbian society and eventually historically significant figures.

Millionaire Granton Sayers is killed on the same evening that he has dinner with famous actress Kay Gonda.

Pickens visits Gonda's publicist, Mick Watts, who is drunk and rambles about Gonda being on a "great quest". Gonda has taken with her six letters written by fans in the Los Angeles area. She visits each of the letter writers seeking their help to hide, but she is repeatedly disappointed.

The first fan, George Perkins, initially offers to hide Gonda, but changes his mind when his wife objects. The wife of the second fan, Jeremiah Sliney, is more agreeable, and they offer Gonda a room for the night. Afterwards, Gonda hears the couple plotting to turn her in for a reward, so she flees.

Set in Burleson, Texas, between 2007 and 2012, the film centers on little girl Anna (Kylie Rogers), daughter of Christy Beam (Jennifer Garner). One day, Anna starts to vomit, and when examined by her doctor, he does not find anything abnormal. On March 20, 2008, Anna wakes up her family at midnight due to intense stomach pain, severe enough so her parents take her to the hospital. Doctors find no signs of illness, perhaps either acid reflux, or lactose intolerance, but Christy is incredulous.

The following morning, Christy finally finds a pediatrician in the hospital able to diagnose Anna with an abdominal obstruction, and he tells them he must operate immediately or she will die. After emergency surgery, the doctor explains that Anna has been left with intestinal pseudo-obstruction and she is unable to eat, so feeding tubes are needed for her nutrition. The doctor then tells the Beams about America's foremost pediatric gastroenterologist, Dr. Samuel Nurko (Eugenio Derbez) in Boston, but explains it could take months for them to be seen. In January 2009, Christy and Anna travel to Boston despite not having an appointment with him.

Dr. Nurko has a last minute opening, and when Anna is subsequently examined at Boston Children's Hospital, the extent of her chronic illness is found. She then goes through extensive treatment. During this ordeal, Anna and her mother befriend local Massachusetts resident Angela Bradford (Queen Latifah), as well as Ben (Wayne Peré) and his daughter, Haley (Hannah Alligood) who has terminal cancer.

On December 29, 2011, Anna and her bigger sister Abbie (Brighton Sharbino), climb up to a very high branch of an old cotton tree. While on the branch, it begins to break. Anna goes to the trunk for safety, whereupon stepping on it, she falls into the hollowed out center to the base of the tree.

When Christy finds out what happened, she desperately calls her husband Kevin (Martin Henderson), as well as the fire department. Anna is then rescued by the firefighters, who warn Christy to expect the worst, saying that nobody could fall 30 feet without sustaining a serious injury, broken bones or paralysis. Once out, Anna is airlifted to a hospital, where a battery of tests are run, and all of them come back negative. Other than a minor concussion, Anna is uninjured.

Sometime after the fall, Anna seems to no longer be affected by her illness. When Christy and Anna go to an appointment with Dr. Nurko, he tells Christy that she is miraculously cured. Anna then recounts with her parents her experience during the fall. She describes how her soul left her body during the fall, and God promised that she would be cured of her illness upon her return to Earth.

At church, Christy shares the story of how God miraculously healed her daughter with His love. As Christy finishes her speech, one of the congregation protests, stating that he does not believe her. Ben, who has traveled from Boston upon hearing the story about Anna, believes her. He also shares that Haley died peacefully as Anna gave her faith when in the hospital (Anna is saddened by this news because Haley was a dear friend).

In the end, the Beams spend some quality time together and Christy says to always believe in miracles.

The book is about the author's 10-year-old daughter Annabel Beam, who was diagnosed with a rare terminal stomach disorder. While on a visit home from the hospital she fell while climbing a tree with her older sister, a branch gave way sending Annabel 30 feet down headfirst into the hollow trunk of a cottonwood tree. She was inside the trunk of the tree for several hours where she visits with Jesus who tells her she will be fine. She is finally rescued and taken to a hospital. She woke up at the hospital without any broken bones or internal injuries. After this incident, she no longer felt pain due to her stomach disorder and her doctor confirmed that her rare disease was somehow miraculously cured.

Alison and Charlotte's brother, Jason, does not agree with having Charlotte released, deciding not to be in Rosewood during the time of the hearing. At the hearing, another one of Charlotte's victims, Mona Vanderwaal (Janel Parrish), shows up, insisting that she needs to be there. Emily, Spencer, and Hanna all testify that they are not afraid of Charlotte, but Aria, remembering her time in the dollhouse, is unable to do so and, much to the chagrin of Charlotte's doctor, tells the judge she is still afraid of Charlotte. Mona has a similar breakdown, but for different reasons; she says she knows what it is like to spend time in Radley and says Charlotte deserves to have a real home. Breaking down, Mona leaves without saying anything to the other girls.

The judge rules in favor of Charlotte's release and Alison prepares a welcome home dinner for her, while the girls crash in Hanna's suite at the hotel. After getting wasted, they all fall asleep, but are woken the next morning by a frantic call from Alison, who says that she can not find Charlotte anywhere. Soon after, police officers Toby and Lorenzo Calderon (Travis Winfrey) discover Charlotte dead outside of the church, looking like she jumped from the bell tower. At the funeral, the girls are startled by the surprising appearance of Sara Harvey (Dre Davis), one of Charlotte's former accomplices who supposedly garnered amnesia and severe nerve injuries after Emily hit her in the head and a bomb went off the night Charlotte was discovered. After the funeral, Lorenzo approaches the girls, telling them that Charlotte was already dead before she jumped and that the police are ruling it a homicide, warning them that they will be questioned. Realizing they have to stay in Rosewood for longer than expected, Hanna says, "I want to go home," to which Spencer replies, "We are home."

However, it turns out that the press conference is part of a plan to lure 'A' to Alison. Ali evades the police and, with the help of Ezra (Ian Harding), Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) and Toby (Keegan Allen), distracts them so 'A' can come after Ali.

As they sort through the boxes, they discover that Charles is a DiLaurentis and that Mona has been trapped for the last few weeks.

Approximately 28 months after the events of the end of Season 4, Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), has left the CIA and is working as the head of security for the philanthropic Düring Foundation in Berlin. Carrie is informed by boss Otto Düring (Sebastian Koch) that he intends to travel to a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon in order to secure relief funds from several benefactors. He gives Carrie three days to prepare Düring and herself for this extremely dangerous trip. Carrie first consults with CIA Berlin station chief Allison Carr (Miranda Otto), requesting intelligence on the current situation in Lebanon, and is taken aback when Allison offers nothing unless Carrie reciprocates with inside information on the Düring Foundation's dealings. Carrie leaves and has a tense run-in with Saul (Mandy Patinkin), who sharply criticizes her for leaving the CIA and working for "the other side".

Two hackers in Berlin vandalize an Islamic State recruitment web site. A CIA technician in Berlin, monitoring traffic to this web site, witnesses the breach and probes the hackers' computer in an attempt to identify it. The hackers take this opportunity and counterattack, gaining access to the CIA network and obtaining many classified documents. One of the documents is leaked to Laura Sutton (Sarah Sokolovic), a journalist at the Düring Foundation. The document reveals that German intelligence was subverting their country's privacy laws by hiring the CIA to perform surveillance in Germany and report back information on jihadists who are living there.

When German officials learn from Saul and Allison that the CIA computer network was breached, they immediately call an end to the surveillance program. Saul opts to continue the program independent of the Germans, enlisting Quinn (Rupert Friend) to assassinate confirmed targets, though without any agency support. Quinn readily agrees.

Carrie manages to arrange a meeting with Hezbollah commander Al-Amin where she requests safe passage to the Syrian refugee camp which is under their control. She is seemingly rebuffed when Al-Amin makes note of Carrie's past affiliation with the CIA and ends the conversation. However, Carrie receives a call that night confirming that Otto Düring is now an invited guest of Hezbollah.

Now in Lebanon, Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) pays Waleed, a Hezbollah commander, $40,000 in exchange for their protection in the refugee camp. The commander warns that with increasing instability in the area, he can only promise one hour of protection. Carrie and Otto Düring (Sebastian Koch), along with bodyguards from the foundation, enter the camp, where Düring publicly announces his $10 million contribution.

Laura Sutton (Sarah Sokolovic) goes public with the leaked document revealing that the CIA was illegally contracted to spy on German citizens. After a TV interview, she is temporarily detained by Astrid (Nina Hoss) who pressures Laura for her sources. Saul (Mandy Patinkin) informs Allison (Miranda Otto) that she is being recalled from her post in Berlin due to the German chancellor demanding repercussions for the CIA's data breach. Allison reaches out to Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham) in an attempt to save her job, and floats the idea of Saul being recalled instead.

After Düring wraps up his speech, Carrie and Mike (Max Beesley) eye a suspicious man approaching them. The man takes a hostage and is quickly shot by Mike, a suicide vest visible on his body. Carrie rushes Düring back to their car and they speed away from the scene. When Carrie notices that they are driving into a suspiciously abandoned area, she forces the driver to stop, causing them to stop just short of an IED explosion. Once they get to safety, Carrie decides to stay behind in Beirut to investigate who was behind such an elaborate, premeditated attack. She is later visited by Behruz (Mousa Kraish), an associate of Al-Amin, who reveals that they were betrayed by Waleed, and that Waleed confessed it was Carrie who was the target of the attack, not Düring.

Quinn (Rupert Friend) successfully tracks and kills Fatima, a woman who was recruiting young women to be suicide bombers for the Islamic State. Later on, he picks up a coded message which contains his next assigned kill. He decodes it to discover the name "MATHISON".

Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) and Jonas (Alexander Fehling) retreat to a secluded cabin. In order to solve who is trying to kill her, Carrie elects to temporarily go off her bi-polar medications, feeling her intellect is sharper without them. As they investigate Carrie's past, Jonas is confronted with the knowledge that 167 civilians were killed by actions authorized by Carrie while in Kabul, which leads to an argument. Jonas leaves Carrie alone for the night, during which Carrie gets drunk.

Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin) meets with Otto Düring (Sebastian Koch) to ask about Carrie's current whereabouts, but gets no answers. Saul then gives Allison Carr (Miranda Otto) the news that she will be remaining in Berlin as station chief, despite the demands of the BND. A subsequent scene reveals that Saul and Allison have developed a sexual relationship following Saul's recent divorce.

In order to determine Carrie's location, Peter Quinn (Rupert Friend) kidnaps Jonas' son and leaves him tied up in a van in a location where he will eventually be found, with the plan of tracing the eventual phone call to alert Jonas.

Numan (Atheer Adel) makes contact with Laura Sutton (Sarah Sokolovic) and attempts to give her the remaining CIA documents, but when Laura later loads the USB drive on her computer, she finds nothing. Numan is met with hostility when he tells fellow hacker Korzenik (Sven Schelker) that he gave everything to Laura. Korzenik, having switched the USB drives and now in possession of the documents, offers to sell them to a Russian diplomat who frequents the brothel.

When Jonas returns in the morning, he finds Carrie incoherent and forces her to take her medication. Jonas gets a call from his ex-wife about his son being missing. Carrie fears that it must be a ruse orchestrated by her would-be assassin. Jonas leaves, while Carrie hides in the nearby forest armed with a rifle. After nightfall, Quinn arrives and is shot in the back by Carrie. Quinn – not disabled by the shot due to wearing body armor – flanks Carrie, grabs her from behind and chokes her unconscious.

All of the prequel comics begin with the introduction of the “Wordburger”, an oral storyteller and historian whose body is tattooed with names of important people, places and events. In each comic, the Wordburger is seen narrating the story of the protagonist of the respective comic to the people of the Citadel after it has been liberated from Immortan Joe's rule.

Nux and Immortan Joe

The first comic centres on the origins of Nux and Immortan Joe.

The first part of the comic focuses on the origins of Nux. A mother and father, with the infant Nux, travel to the Citadel where they live on the ground in poor conditions, without adequate supply of food and water. To support his family, Nux's father takes up a job at the top of the Citadel; however, unbeknownst to him, the job is very hazardous and he eventually dies due to the conditions. Nux never finds out what happened to his father, and his sick mother dies later. Believing his father is still alive, he tries to reach the top of the Citadel by grabbing onto the elevator used by the guards to transport to the top. One of the guard is about to push him off, but he is stopped by another guard who wants to see how long Nux can hold on. Nux desperately tries to hold onto the edge of the elevator, even as he starts to slip. The War Boys watching him start laughing, to which he laughs back in a mocking response and refuses to let go. Upon seeing this, the War Boys and guards are stunned by his grit. A guard who is impressed by his determination saves him from slipping and pulls him up to the platform. Impressed by his grit, the War Boys call him "a hard nut to crack", which leads to him being named "Nux". He eventually joins the War Boys when he grows up and Immortan Joe becomes like a father figure to him.

The second part focuses on the origins of Joe and how he acquired his godlike status. After the society started collapsing, war veteran Colonel Joe Moore formed a raider gang, along with other soldiers who served under his command such as Major Kalashnikov, and started raiding the communities in the wasteland. During one of his raids, a captured fat man who is about to be executed reveals the location of a fortress with huge natural stone pillars sitting atop a massive aquifer, in exchange for a deal for sparing his life. However, he warns that it is heavily defended and nearly impossible to enter without being granted access by those inside.

Joe first tries to convince the defenders of the aquifer to allow him to access the fortress, by offering them several women as sex slaves. However, when they refuse, he launches an all-out assault on the fortress, but the siege lasts for many days, killing many of his followers and rapidly depleting their supplies of food and water. He sends his scouts to search for more supplies, but they fail to find any; however, they report the discoveries of an abandoned oil refinery to the north, and a lead mine to the west of the fortress.

He then draws up a plan to climb to the top of the fortress by sending up a monitor lizard to the fortress with his men tied by the rope to the lizard which will allow them to scale the walls. The lizard at first keeps coming back down every time until one of Joe's henchmen cuts off his own finger and attaches it to a rope, using it as a treat to motivate the lizard to scale all the way to the top of fortress, thus allowing Joe and his henchmen to climb it. The plan initially backfires, as most of Joe's followers are killed, and one-by-one, the inhabitants of the fortress begin executing his surviving men and hanging the corpses of his dead followers from the cliff walls. Many of Joe's followers on the ground, believing Joe to be dead, accept defeat and prepare to leave by the dawn of the third day.

However, Joe reemerges with his few remaining followers, having killed all of the defenders. His followers are stunned by this nearly impossible victory and call him "Immortal". This eventually leads him to acquiring the name of "Immortan Joe". The fortress comes to be known as Citadel and becomes the base for Joe and his army. His men eventually start operating the previously-discovered oil refinery and lead mine to generate oil and bullets. The oil refinery is later named "Gas Town" and the fat man who told Joe about the fortress, who later comes to be known as "The People Eater", is made its leader. The lead mine is named "The Bullet Farm," and Joe's second-in-command Kalashnikov, who later comes to be known as "The Bullet Farmer", is made its leader. The story also explains how Joe had three sons; Scabrous Scrotus, Rictus Erectus, and Corpus Colossus, all of whom were either deranged, mentally challenged, or deformed, paving the way for Joe's plan to father healthy sons who could carry on his legacy by using various women as his wives who would be isolated from the harsh elements of the wasteland, thus increasing the chances of his sons being born healthy.

Furiosa

The second comic takes place right before the events of the film. It relates the story of how Imperator Furiosa meets with the Five Wives and helps them escape. The Five Wives were five young healthy women selected by Joe to provide him with a suitable male heir. He keeps them locked in a vault, providing them with food, water and a teacher, the Wordburger "Miss Giddy" who provides them education so they do not go insane due to their captivity. After conducting an examination on Angharad, Joe's resident physician, the Organic Mechanic, informs him that he has a window of two days to impregnate her if he wants a suitable and healthy male heir. Joe assigns a warrior, Imperator Furiosa, to protect the Wives who are at first hostile to her and constantly insult and taunt her.

The Wives are abused by Joe night-after-night with Angharad being the first. She is impregnated by him and later tries to kill the baby in the womb. However, she is stopped by Furiosa who rushes to her location after hearing her scream. The Wives, who also heard Angharad's screams, rush towards her and yell at Furiosa to leave them alone. Furiosa in anger hits all of them and chastises them for being ungrateful despite having privileges which no one else in the Citadel has. The Wives respond by saying that their lives have been made miserable by Joe, and Angharad mocks Furiosa saying all she knows is killing, to which she responds in a mocking reply saying Angharad was doing the same thing.

Gradually after this incident, a bond forms between the Wives and Furiosa. One night while hearing the musical performance of the Wives, Joe expresses interest in taking Fragile's virginity. The Dag upon hearing this berates Joe and tells him not to touch her since she is the only one who hasn't been abused by him. Joe in anger grabs The Dag who is then raped and impregnated by him. He later demands the Wives to be more appreciative for giving them the privileges no one else in the Citadel has. Their freedoms are limited by Joe and they are made to wear toothed chastity belts. Furiosa is removed from the position of their bodyguard who later hatches a plan along with the Wives to help them escape. However, their teacher Aunty Giddy, being too old, chooses not to go with them. Furiosa sneaks the Wives outside of the Vault to help them escape from Immortan Joe's captivity.

Mad Max

Part 1

The third comic takes place between the events of ''Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome'' and ''Mad Max: Fury Road''. Max Rockatansky travels to Gas Town to battle in its gladiator arena "Thunderdome Plus" to win a V8 engine so he can build a new V8 Interceptor after the original was destroyed during the events of ''Mad Max 2''. The "Thunderdome Plus" is based on the original "Thunderdome", however unlike the original, its battles involve many competitors instead of just two. Before the battle is about to begin, a Buzzard who is wearing body armor with sharp blades attached on it enters the battle. During the battle, most of the combatants are killed and Max gets grabbed by one of the final three combatants who is killed by the Buzzard.

The Buzzard tries to kill Max who however is able to dodge his blow and climbs on the pipes where he is given a flare by a woman. He is grabbed by the Buzzard, however he lights the flare and burns out his eye with it. He then rips off his head armour and uses it to kill him thus winning the battle. The other Buzzards accuse Max of cheating saying he had outside help but the organisers refuse to recognise this and the Buzzards warn Max that he will pay. After winning the tournament, he takes the V8 engine to where his Interceptor is.

The other Buzzards are able to follow him and suddenly attack him. He is knocked unconscious and his limbs are bound with rope tied to nails stuck in the ground by the Buzzards who take the Interceptor from him. When he wakes up, he is stabbed in the femoral artery by a Buzzard. Recognising him as a strong warrior, the Buzzard tells Max that instead of straight-away killing him he will give him a choice, either he could pull out the knife to cut the rope, however this will cause him to bleed to death or he could let it remain there and keep burning under the desert sun. Max is able to free one of his hands however it is too damaged to untie the other limbs which are also damaged. He pulls out the knife with his free hand and cuts the rope but starts bleeding heavily. While dragging himself, he becomes unconscious and has a hallucination of his dead family. He is rescued by the woman who earlier helped him at the Thunderdome. She tells him that she fixed his wound and that he owes her.

Part 2

The woman who saved Max escorts him to a sunken city where the Buzzards live underground. She asks Max to rescue her daughter, Glory, who was kidnapped by the Buzzards during a raid and offers to tag along with him to find both Glory and his Interceptor. Max refuses her help and goes it alone promising that he will bring Glory back safe. The Buzzards had been using Glory to retrieve supplies from small places, however she escaped and hid underground where the Buzzards could not find her.

Max encounters Glory who thinks of him as hostile and screams. The Buzzards are alerted, discover them both and give chase. Max gains her trust by saying he was sent by her mother, and Glory guides him to her hiding place, a dark room where the Buzzards breed moths for food. Max lights a flare and finds a group of Buzzards in ambush. He fights and defeats them all. Glory leads Max out through a hole in the ceiling but Max refuses to leave without the Interceptor. He notices doors to the car parking area, and though Glory insists it is too dangerous to go there since the Buzzards live there, Max stubbornly presses on. Max takes Glory to the car parking area to find the Interceptor restored to working condition by the Buzzards. Driving away Max engages in battle with Buzzard vehicles but escapes.

Max takes Glory back to her mother who invites Max to come with them. Max declines and drives off alone, but turns around after seeing in the mirror The Buzzard who had stabbed Max, driving and hitting Glory and her mother with his vehicle. Max rams his Interceptor into the Buzzard's vehicle in anger and kills him, but it's too late, both Glory and her mother die of their injuries. Distraught, Max buries the pair and leaves the city with his Interceptor.

After the Wordburger ends his story, the people listening overhear Corpus Colossus warn a woman that they can't keep giving away water to everybody who comes to the Citadel as it will be seen as a sign of weakness and their enemies might try to capture the Citadel. He tells the Wordburger to pass on this message. The Wordburger warns his listeners that they are about to repeat the mistakes of the past.

As described on [http://www.calibercomics.com/ Caliber Comics’] website, slightly edited:

In 1963 Cuba is a Communist threat to the U.S. only 90 miles from Miami. The CIA sends three elite operatives to Havana. Their mission, codenamed “Operation Good Times,” was to humiliate Fidel during a live television broadcast by dosing him with LSD and making his beard fall out.

One of the agents, "Bob", bears the permanent scars of MKULTRA. Bob was kept inside a sensory deprivation tank for so long that he can hardly contain himself from blowing his cover to the first pretty lady he sees at a bar.

Back home, Doctor Sidney Gottlieb, the mad mastermind behind MKULTRA, is attempting to regain control of Bob by using the latest technological advancements at his disposal: the satellite, radio waves, and bioactive implants created for such missions placed inside the agents’ brains.

The book portrays many of the failed, and often humorous, attempts to infiltrate Castro's inner circle to assassinate or publicly humiliate him.

A progressive and open-minded man, owner of a flower shop, lives in Athens with his family, his wife and two teenage children. His serene and ordinary life turns over when some burglars, invade in his house. After this event, his perception and his ideas change. He feels unsafe, fear but mostly rage. His anger drives him to find the burglars in order to revenge them. But this act destroys the family calmness and he starts to live under the fear.

''World of Tomorrow'' (2015)

A communication unit in a white room begins to ring, and a little girl (voiced by Winona Mae) runs toward the machine, where she excitedly presses a random series of buttons on the console until a live video transmission appears on the screen.

The person in the transmission is a woman (voiced by Julia Pott) and addresses the young girl as Emily. Speaking in a robotic monotone throughout their entire conversation, the woman introduces herself as an adult third-generation clone of Emily contacting her from 227 years in the future. The clone Emily then explains to the original Emily regarding the complex cloning process that humans have devised in an attempt to achieve immortality, as well as describing other crude forms of life extension that less affluent members of humanity can afford. The clone Emily goes on to explain how she was able to contact the original Emily through an experimental and dangerous form of physical time travel. The clone Emily proceeds to transport the original Emily into the clone's present time in the future via time travel.

The original Emily disappears from the white room and reappears inside an interactive space that the clone Emily describes as "the Outernet": a neural network that is a technologically advanced version of the Internet. At this point, the clone Emily begins to address her original as Emily Prime. The clone Emily and Emily Prime briefly engage in drawing simple figures in the air, before the clone Emily invites Emily Prime to view a selection of her memories.

The first memory is one from the clone Emily's childhood, involving a controversial exhibit in a museum where a male clone without a brain, nicknamed affectionately by the public as David, was kept in stasis; she recalls her frequent visits to David over the years and expresses her sadness when he finally died at the age of 72. Other memories the pair visit involve various jobs and loves of Emily's both on the moon and in outer space.

Upon her return to Earth, the clone Emily opened an art gallery that displayed anonymous memories as exhibits. It was in her art gallery that she met her husband: a descendant clone of David, the male clone who was displayed in a museum when she was a child. But as Emily Clone notes, her husband showed many signs of deterioration due to being a clone stemming from a much older generation. Their marriage was brief, as Emily Clone states that her husband died suddenly; thus, ending the David clone lineage. Emily Clone proceeded to harvest her deceased husband's memories, and reflects upon the memories of their relationship with feelings of melancholia.

In the final memory, the clone Emily reveals that in sixty days, Earth will be destroyed by a meteoroid. The clone Emily returns them both to the Outernet and reveals the true reason that she contacted Emily Prime: to retrieve an important memory from her original source before she is to die. The clone uses a handheld device to extract a memory of the original Emily and her mother walking together, which the clone Emily had forgotten. With the memory successfully retrieved, the clone Emily graciously thanks her original and adds that the specific memory will comfort her in the days leading to the destruction of Earth.

As the Outernet slowly begins to disintegrate around them, the clone Emily tells Emily Prime that she is honored to have met Emily Prime and that she will not contact her again. After saying goodbye, Emily Prime is accidentally transported by her clone into the distant past where she is seen standing in a grassy field surrounded by falling snow. She is then transported back into her present timeline, into the white room containing the communication unit where she answered the clone Emily's call. Emily Prime surveys the familiar space with a smile and notes in a singsong voice on "what a happy day it is" before she scampers out of the room.

Episode Two: ''The Burden of Other People's Thoughts'' (2017)

Emily Prime is busy drawing in a white room when she is interrupted by a time-travelling visitor; a sixth back-up copy of the adult third-generation clone who contacted Emily Prime in the previous episode, known as Emily 6 (voiced by Pott). This back-up Emily has difficulty controlling her emotions and was next in line to be a proper clone of Emily, but believes she lost her identity, and decided to replace her mind with a copy of Emily Prime's mind using a partially-broken neural network on Emily 6's time machine.

The two then start to merge their consciousnesses; inside Emily 6's mind, Emily Prime meets a younger version of Emily 6, and they explore a cave and talk about Emily 6's bracelet, a birthday gift from her sister Felicia. The younger Emily 6 falls asleep and Emily Prime is transported back to the adult Emily 6 in a location in the sub-consciousness called the "Bog of realism". In the bog waters, Emily 6 buried many "glimmers of hope" from her youth that she could not fulfill when she became an adult; one of the glimmers Emily Prime picks up is a dream of becoming a dancer in ''The Nutcracker'' ballet.

The two then stumble upon a large raincloud that rains memories into a "Valley of buried memories" below and go to explore it. The memories can be tasted to reveal what they contain, with many of them being inherited from other Emilys. Emily Prime finds a memory of a younger Emily 6 in a large tube with other numbered back-ups, all of whose eyes are closed except for Emily 6. Emily 6 finds a memory that has not happened to either of them yet, and tells Emily Prime not to think of a "baby dinosaur" later. Emily Prime then views three memories of her life where she is unexpectedly visited by Emily 6, and the fourth and seventh back-ups of Emily as they intrusively tour memories of Emily Prime's life to reminisce. Emily 6 finds a memory that transports them to a moment where her younger self kills an insect, describing it as the saddest day of her life and lecturing about the equality of souls before declaring that "clones are better".

Emily Prime spots the stasis tube containing the unconscious body of Felicia floating around a red planet in space. Emily 6 reveals that Felicia is the fifth back-up, Emily 5, having been separated from Emily 6 following Earth's destruction and reprogrammed to store the memories of a deceased wealthy family. They were best friends who both did not want to be named Emily, so they agreed to call Emily 5 "Felicia" and traded their bracelets, revealed to be identification tags, causing the numbers "5" and "6" on their foreheads to be switched. Emily 6 has since been searching for Emily 5, but does not remember the planet she is located at, causing her body to physically distort from thinking about it.

Emily 6's mind then starts breaking down further, believing Emily Prime to be Felicia, and talking about living on the red planet together despite her objections. She tells Emily 6 to close her eyes, which transports Emily Prime back to the younger Emily 6, who ages rapidly back to the adult Emily 6 as she talks about memories of an unknown man who was reportedly accidentally transported by one of the Outernet's time-travelling units to "nowhere," as well as two memories of past Emily's dying in large amounts of snow. They are then transported to the "logic center" in Emily 6's brain, who urges them to escape as soon as possible as any illogical thought could damage her brain. Emily Prime then thinks of a "baby dinosaur," and the system promptly collapses, shutting off Emily 6's mind.

The two are then transported into Emily Prime's mind, where Emily 6 begins to disappear, as the neural network finishes its job of replacing Emily 6's mind with a copy of Emily Prime's mind. To console Emily 6, Emily Prime gives her a ticket to ''The Nutcracker'' as a present, and Emily 6 dances to the suite as she contemplates her death. Emily 6 gives Emily Prime her bracelet, telling her to give it to Felicia when they meet again in 230 years, and asks Emily Prime to tell her a story. Emily Prime tells a brief story of a superhero with untapped powers who will save everyone from monsters, before Emily 6 fades from existence.

Emily Prime then returns to her room, with Emily 6 now having the same mind as Emily Prime, and gives her bracelet back to her, declaring herself to be her new sister. Suddenly, the fourth and seventh back-ups of Emily appear, telling Emily 6 that she "can't live in the past and all that" and she says goodbye to Emily Prime.

Episode Three: ''The Absent Destinations of David Prime'' (2020)

The ninth back-up of Emily, called Emily 9 (voiced by Pott), transports to the room of an infant named David (voiced by Jack Parrett), and records and implants a short transmission and a larger compressed file into his brain that he will receive later in life. Years later, the adult David Prime is floating in a rocket in space when he receives the transmission in his brain. Emily 9 explains to him that a future clone of him will marry a future clone of Emily, die suddenly, and have his memories harvested by her. However, Emily 9 believes that she is the only clone of Emily to have inherited his memories from her, and asks him to recover his memories from her including information that the original Emily never knew.

David Prime tries to unpack the memory file, but the neural implant technology in his brain determines that there is insufficient space to store the information, so he resorts to deleting many skills he learned in life in order to make enough space to access the information. Another transmission from Emily 9 starts playing, apologizing for the abrupt storage inconveniences before providing David Prime with the coordinates he needs to travel to an abandoned mining planet where she hid his memories.

Upon arrival, she explains further that he will need to walk for about a day across the planet to find an additional package with directions. The further David Prime walks and listens to directions from the transmissions however, the more skills and basic human functions he is forced to delete due to limited storage space, causing him to deteriorate mentally and physically. Along the way, he discovers many scattered corpses of what appears to be himself, which Emily 9 explains may be distant clones of himself from unknown timelines that have intercepted her message and tried and failed to make the trip to her package. Suddenly, a beacon activates in David Prime's brain creating an arrow guiding him to the nearby package, which Emily 9 claims is something only the correct David out of all the corpses of himself would be able to see to guide him to the package. Towards the end of his trek, David Prime is forced to delete his ability to walk and drag himself across the planet's rocky surface to finally reach the package.

The package contains another transmission from Emily 9 where she explains that in 72 years in his time, cloning will become commercially available, with two emergency back-up copies normally being created alongside one clone. After the invention of time travel, the fourth back-up copy of David, David 4, will be employed as a secret agent called a "cleaner" who has the special ability to freely work and travel in a shadow realm in-between individual points of time, as well as perform duties for more sinister powers, most notably secret assassinations. She then explains that David 4 abandons his co-workers and becomes obsessed with the future clone of himself and the woman he marries, the future clone of Emily, planning to assassinate the future clone of himself and take his place in the timeline so he can live the rest of his life with her.

The only reason why his plan is known in the first place is because his roommate, the third-generation clone of David he is based on, read his diary where David 4's plan is fully spelled out after he disappeared the night before. The third-generation clone of David tries to create his own in-between time travel technology to directly confront David 4 before the plan can be carried out, but his experiments fail, and he places himself in a stasis tube for upwards of a century in the hopes that technology will have publicly advanced enough for him to stop the assassination. However, his time in the stasis tube caused him to mentally deteriorate, and he placed a younger clone of himself in a tube for a museum exhibit titled ''Time is a Prison of Living Things'', originally featured in the first episode. The third-generation clone of David eventually disappears from the public record (his now similar hairstyle to the man who was transported nowhere from the second episode suggesting they are the same person) with his final trace being a message written on his wall: "Death is not a destination. It is the absence of one." It is unknown to public knowledge when or where the next generation clone of David is created.

Back in the present, Emily 9 reveals that she stored the clone of David's memories inside a Zorgbot, a robot companion hidden behind a nearby ridge. David Prime immediately recovers the ability to walk and reaches the Zorgbot, but upon trying to activate it finds it has malfunctioned from years of inactivity. 124 years later, a now elderly David Prime living on Earth is shopping on the Internet when he discovers that the company that produces Zorgbots has a 24-hour repair service. At this time, he became increasingly obsessed with rabbits due to a drawing of one that Emily 9 left him as a direction in one of her transmissions as one of his only traces of her, and brought the Zorgbot home with him in his obsession. After the Zorgbot is fixed, he activates it and learns of the last known in-between coordinates David 4 was seen at as well as information on time travel equipment in the hopes of continuing the third-generation clone of David's work and stopping the assassination.

David Prime creates a clone of himself and two back-up copies, David 2 and David 3, killing himself in the process and continuing his lineage. The second-generation clone of David is gradually educated in his youth through a cognitive examination program titled "Godbaby" and as he ages, he remembers the efforts of his lineage. This clone of David and David 2 & 3, now all adults, continue researching and experimenting with time travel technology until the clone of David finally decides now is the time to stop the assassination, and teleports away alone, attracting the attention of his back-ups. At the site of the fourth-generation clone of David's death, David 4 is about to assassinate him when the second-generation clone of David appears behind David 4 and kills him, initiating a small chain of assassinations that start with David 3 appearing and killing the second-generation clone of David, and David 2 appearing and killing David 3 and two cleaners who were drawn to the scene. The last man standing, David 2 carries out the original assassination and kills the fourth-generation clone of David before leaving. In real-time, the fourth-generation clone of David collapses and dies next to the clone of Emily.

David 2 returns home in the past, rents out his apartment and clones himself, creating the third-generation clone of David, drops his unconscious body off in his apartment, and teleports away. By scanning the contents of the Zorgbot, David 2 is able to teleport to Emily 9's time just as she finishes recording the transmission she stored in the Zorgbot, and shortly after he arrives she amicably greets him with "Hello David."

The film opens with archive footage of Charles Lindbergh's pioneering 1927 transatlantic flight in the ''Spirit of St. Louis'' and the song “Lindbergh (The Eagle of the U.S.A.)”.

Hopewell, New Jersey, March 1, 1932. After preparing a bath, Anne Morrow Lindbergh (Sian Barbara Allen) is alerted by her nurse, Betty Gow, that her baby is not in its crib. They check with Charles Lindbergh (Cliff DeYoung), reading in his study, that the baby is not with him then immediately go to the nursery and discover an envelope near the window. Lindbergh orders Betty to ask their butler to call the police. Lindbergh informs his wife not to interfere with anything in the nursery and that their baby has been stolen.

The police investigate the Lindbergh home and establish a command post in the garage. A ladder is found outside the nursery window along with a nearby footprint. Inside the house, the envelope is opened and Lindbergh reads a letter indicating his child is in good care and future communications with have a distinctive signature with three holes in the paper.

The press quickly descend on the house and the police are angered when a reporter attempts to gain a statement from Lindbergh.

In New York City, the police department consider the possibilities that the child was kidnapped by organised criminals. They are advised by a criminal profiler that the kidnapper is likely to be acting on their own as they only asked for $50,000, and an individual who is jealous of Lindbergh's status.

In New York City, concerned citizen Dr John Condon (Joseph Cotten) decides to write to the Bronx Home News newspaper to offer himself as an intermediary in the ransom exchange. Condon receives a reply from the kidnapper and telephones Lindbergh, giving him confirmation that the letter has the unique signature with three holes in the paper with a demand for $70,000.

Condon later telephones Lindbergh to inform him that he has received a package with the sleeping garment of the child. Lindbergh dons a disguise and is able to drive away from his home without attracting the attention of the massed press. Lindbergh identifies the garment and also retrieves instructions for the rendezvous to pay the ransom.

The Bronx, April 2, 1932. Condon and Lindbergh drive to a cemetery to hand over the ransom. Lindbergh stays in the car while Condon meets the kidnapper. The kidnapper speaks with a German accent and tells Condon that his name is John. Condon hands over the ransom but is told that further instructions will be given on where to retrieve the child. Despite a search by air for a boat indicated in the instructions, they are unable to find the child.

The following month, the body of the child is found just two miles from the Lindbergh home. Lindbergh identifies the body at that of his missing child.

By November 1933, New York City detectives are tracing Gold Certificates, contained in the ransom money, that are now entering circulation.

On September 15, 1934, a breakthrough is made when a gas station attendant receives a gold certificate from a customer. The attendant had been notified to watch out for ransom banknotes and wrote the car licence plate on a gold certificate he received. Under questioning, he describes the customer as having a German accent. The car was a brown Plymouth Sedan and is identified as belonging to Bruno Hauptmann (Anthony Hopkins), resident in the Bronx.

The detectives stake out Hauptmann's home and identify his car. After following Hauptmann, they decide to stop him quickly and find ransom money on his person. At his home, Hauptmann protests his innocence. Stripping his garage, the police find $14,000 ransom money hidden inside with matching serial numbers. Hauptmann is arrested.

On January 2, 1935, the trial of Hauptmann begins in Flemington, New Jersey. Evidence is presented to connect Hauptmann to the ransom letters and ladder, the wood of which came from his attic.

At the conclusion of the trial, Hauptmann is permitted to see his wife and his own child. Outside the courthouse, an angry mob are calling for the death penalty. Hauptmann remarks on his innocence and that the jury has deliberated for eleven hours, and that this is a good sign.

Returning for the verdict, Hauptmann is found guilty. Cheering erupts in the courtroom and the mob applaud outside. Hauptmann is sentenced to death and later electrocuted on April 3, 1936, after being informed all appeals have failed.

The Lindberghs decide to leave the country and move to England, where they are informed of Hauptmann's execution.

The work combines first-person narrative with legal records to tell the stories of six wrongfully convicted inmates: Delbert Tibbs, Kerry Max Cook, Gary Gauger, David Keaton, Robert Earl Hayes and Sunny Jacobs, and their paths to freedom. The production is performed as an anthology by 10 actors seated behind music stands. Their accounts of the freed convicts emphasize their lives after being sentenced to death, including much of the legal proceedings that gained their exoneration.

Best friends Alex and Jacob thought that they were on their way to earning LA's most highly celebrated Advertising Account. That is, until the villainous and manipulative Marissa enters the picture, doing everything in her power to win the promotion for herself. Then enter into the equation a gay gangsta rapper, a mentally challenged custodian, a transgender prostitute, a sexually perverted grandfather, and Jacob's demented grandmother.

In the fall of 1970, Don calls Sally from Utah, where he's witnessed Gary Gabelich's Blue Flame break the land speed record at the Bonneville Speedway. Sally gives Don the news about Betty's cancer diagnosis and states her opinion that Bobby and Gene should stay with Henry Francis after their mother's death, as this will allow them to stay in the same school, same house, and have the same friends. Phoning Betty next, Don implores her to have his children live with him. However, Betty insists she wants them to live with her brother and his wife, stating they need stability and "a woman in their lives," things that Don cannot provide. Making his way further west to California, Don reunites with Anna Draper's niece Stephanie, who has left her child to be raised with his paternal grandmother. Don tries to give her Anna Draper's wedding ring, which she had left to Don, who had used it to propose to Megan. Megan returned it after the divorce. Stephanie rejects the gift, seeing no point. She is about to leave for an Esalen-like, oceanside spiritual retreat further up the state's coastline, and takes Don with her.

Meanwhile, as Joan and Richard begin planning their new life together, she receives a business opportunity from her old colleague Ken Cosgrove. She then offers Peggy a partnership in a film production company she is starting. She considers it and even discusses it with Stan, who tells her that her current job is a better fit, which leads to them arguing.

Richard is displeased with Joan's professional ambition and leaves—it doesn't fit in with his plans for them. Some time later, Roger visits and tells Joan that his daughter Margaret is now "lost" and he is going to completely cut her out of his will, leaving his estate to his grandson Ellery and Kevin, who doesn't know Roger is his father. Joan reveals to Roger that Greg has no contact or relationship with Kevin, and that it will actually be something of a relief to know that Kevin's future will be provided for. Roger tells her that he's going to marry Megan's mother, Marie Calvet, and Joan laughs, delighted by the scandal.

Back at the Francis residence, Sally has returned home from boarding school, ostensibly because she missed Bobby and Gene. Bobby reveals he knows about Betty's cancer, and knows that Sally has really returned to take care of him and Gene because their mother is going to die soon. Noticing that Bobby has burned his grilled cheese, Sally offers to show him how to do it properly, and she commences being the woman of the house.

Later at the retreat, Stephanie abandons Don after receiving troubling criticism in group therapy about "abandoning" her child with his paternal grandparents. Stuck at the retreat with no means of leaving for several days, a distraught Don calls Peggy in her office. Peggy pleads for him to return home and to his job, insisting McCann Erickson would gladly take him back and there is work to be done with the Coca-Cola account. In despair and on the verge of a breakdown, Don confesses many of his wrongdoings to Peggy: stealing another man's name, breaking all of his vows and scandalizing Sally, believing that he's done nothing truly substantial in his life, and confiding that the main reason he called was he never bid her goodbye. Peggy replies, "That's not true," and tries again to convince him to come home.

After Don hangs up, Peggy discusses the disturbing call with Stan over the phone. Though Peggy is concerned for her mentor, Stan reasons that Don has disappeared off the radar many times before and always returns. She apologizes for their earlier argument, and Stan tells her that he is in love with Peggy. Peggy initially is flustered, but suddenly realizes she loves him too. He then rushes to her office where they kiss.

A counselor at the retreat notices that Don is upset and persuades him to attend a group therapy session she is on her way to. During the meeting Don sees a fellow attendee, Leonard (Evan Arnold), confess to feeling unloved and overlooked by his family and colleagues. Leonard describes a dream where he is an item in a refrigerator that no one selects; he then breaks down crying. Don, overcome with emotion, embraces him and breaks down as well.

The episode (and the series as a whole) ends with a montage of the fates of the major characters: Pete, Trudy and Tammy board a Learjet taking them to their new lives in Wichita. Joan operates her thriving new business, Holloway Harris Productions, from her apartment while her mother looks after her son. Roger and Marie sit in a cafe in Paris on their honeymoon and muse about an elderly couple seated nearby. Sally does housework and tends to her younger brothers, while Betty smokes a cigarette and reads behind her. Peggy, hard at work on an assignment, receives a loving embrace from Stan. Don, seated in the lotus position, participates in a meditation class at the retreat center when a smile comes to his face. The show smash cuts to the groundbreaking 1971 "Hilltop" television advertisement for Coca-Cola.

Summer 1953. After Stalin's death, one of his closest colleagues, First Deputy Premier and head of the MVD Lavrenty Beria, announces an amnesty for non-political prisoners and for political prisoners sentenced to not more than 5 years. As a result, many dangerous criminals are freed from labor camps. They organise gangs and begin to rob, kill and rape.

In a small village in the north of Russia live two exiles: former military intelligence captain Sergei Basargin (nicknamed "Luzga") and former engineer Nikolai Pavlovich Starobogatov ("Kopalych"). Both have been unjustly imprisoned and then exiled by Stalin's regime.

The village is attacked by a gang of criminals. The bandits kill the only policeman and take the entire population hostage.

The deaf-mute cook Lydia sends her young daughter Shura away to the forest. A young bandit, mad with lust, overtakes Shura and tries to rape her, but Luzga appears and kills him with a shiv. Now armed with his pistol, Luzga ventures further into the forest, where an old bandit Mikhalych is seen having a conversation with Kopalych about the recent downfall of Beria. Mikhalych notices approaching Luzga and shoots at him over Kopalych's shoulder. Lightly wounded Luzga falls down, faking dead, then suddenly shoots and kills Mikhalych. Later he picks off one more bandit.

The rest of the gang, armed with machine guns, mount an all-out attack. Luzga orders Kopalych to create a diversion and implores him to take proper cover. However, Kopalych stands upright to make the diversion more convincing, and is shot dead. Luzga guns down the bandits.

In the evening, as the villagers are collecting the bodies of dead bandits, one body is missing. One of the bandits was only wounded, hid in the bushes, and then killed Shura. Luzga runs after the bandit in the dark and kills him with bare hands.

Some time later, Luzga is seen walking the streets of Moscow. He visits the relatives of Kopalych (who were forced to renounce him after his arrest) and recounts the story to them.

Springfield is having a parade in homage to the city's founder Jebediah Springfield where they introduce a new statue of him to a very negative reception. During the parade, Bart activates a fire engine's water cannon, soaking Chief Wiggum. As a result, the Springfield Police Department gets into a battle against the volunteer fire department which ends with a SWAT tank losing control and destroying the Kwik-E-Mart, injuring Apu and Sanjay. Bart lies to Homer that he didn't cause the disaster, but Homer has video proof Bart did it and tells his son he has two choices: swear to never pull a prank again or end up in juvenile detention when Homer turns in the tape. Bart chooses to promise he will behave from now on. At the hospital, Sanjay reveals that he wants to retire from his job at the Kwik-E-Mart and give his share of the store to his son Jamshed "Jay" Nahasapeemapetilon.

Milhouse tries to bring the old Bart back, but Bart resists dropping a beehive on Superintendent Chalmers' crotch and releasing the handbrake on Principal Skinner's cherry-picker. But Bart ends up doing well at school and noticing that Homer and Marge don't really praise their kids when they do well, resulting in a closer bond with his younger sister Lisa as now he understands her disappointed past feelings.

Six weeks after the incident, Apu goes to see what they've done with the Kwik-E-Mart only to find at its place the Quick & Fresh, a store that sells natural products run by Jay. At the store's restroom, Jay explains that Apu has an addiction to scratching lottery tickets. Because of that, he's the owner of 80% of the store. Later, Moe and Apu are talking about what happened to his store. Jay, who's already angry at his uncle for being a stereotype, fires Apu from his job. Apu is so depressed that he goes to Moe's Tavern where Moe convinces Homer to turn Bart into a prankster again for him to pull a prank on Jay so Apu can have his store back.

Bart, who reluctantly comes back to his old self ''Clockwork Orange''-style, decides that the best prank would be to turn the Quick & Fresh light switch off for thirty seconds. As none of the products have preservatives, everything will get rotten. He's interrupted by Lisa, who reminds him that after he stopped pranking, they love each other even more. Bart misinterprets the expression "unconditional love" as a sign he can do anything he wants and still be loved by his sister, so he cuts the store's power for a few seconds.

Inside the store, all the products start deteriorating, scaring the customers away. When he turns the power back on, two massage stones collide, producing a spark that leads to a major fire. As the firefighters used all their water and foam against the police officers on the parade, they have nothing they can extinguish the fire with and the store is completely destroyed by the flames. Later, Apu apologizes about what happened to Jay, but he also finds a ''The Big Bang Theory'' scratch-off ticket in the middle of the debris. He scratches it and thanks to three images of Sheldon Cooper wins a million dollars — enough money to buy his store back and rebuild the Kwik-E-Mart.

In the final scene, Mayor Quimby plans to have Chief Wiggum use a tank to destroy the Jebediah Springfield statue. Chief Wiggum fires at the statue only for projectiles to be deflected enough to destroy the tank, much to Quimby and Wiggum's annoyance.

When Homer learns that Ned Flanders has been raising a flock of chickens in a backyard coop, he and Bart begin stealing the eggs they lay. Although he buys some chickens of his own to have a ready supply of eggs on hand, he and Bart realize that they preferred stealing from Flanders. The family finds a company called Exploration Incorporated that will take in the chickens, as part of a corporate-sponsored research project to establish space flight to Mars. Learning that the company wants to begin colonizing the planet within 10 years, Lisa eagerly volunteers. The rest of the family disagrees with her choice, but Homer persuades Marge to sign up as well in the hope that Lisa will lose interest and drop out. When this strategy fails, the entire family signs up.

The Simpsons and several other candidates are put into a simulated habitat for a week to evaluate their response to conditions they may face on Mars. All of the males are dismissed at the end of the week for their slovenliness and stupidity; Marge, on the other hand, proves to be highly skilled at the required tasks due to her experience as a homemaker and mother. She and Lisa are both chosen as finalists, leading to a heated confrontation between the two, while Homer and Bart offer vague support and reflect on their own dysfunctional history.

Paul and Barry, the project leaders, announce that a rival company is close to completing its preparations to go to Mars and move the initial launch up to Thursday. All of the finalists except for Marge and Lisa drop out, but these two stubbornly remain in the program to the dismay of Bart and Homer. During the final launch sequence, they reconcile and decide that they no longer want to go to Mars, but it is too late to call off the mission. When the countdown reaches zero, the engines do not ignite and the rocket does not move. Paul and Barry admit that the launch was a fake, intended both to inspire a new generation and to create a distraction so they could abandon the project and flee; however their car has failed to start.

At home, Lisa comments to Marge that they almost went to Mars out of sheer stubbornness, to which Marge explains that this is what a mother-daughter relationship is. The episode ends with a glimpse into the year 2051, 35 years in the future, with Marge and Lisa now living on Mars and arguing over Lisa's desire to move to Venus. During the credits, Paul and Barry drive away from the launch site and begin planning a new business venture.

A young con artist, playing the system and collecting checks for a mental disability, is planning a public show to prove his madness when threatened with losing his disability checks. Before he is able to stage his rant, his pregnant girl friend disappears and he must search the city for her.

Donna Del Rio is a diva of the stage and her wish is for her lover, Rico Alvarado, to be her leading man. To prevent this from happening, the producers pick Roger Kerry from the streets and give him a job.

Caught out by their French teacher, Joseph, Igor and Nourdine end up with punishment for the following topic : "You wake up one morning and you see that in the night, you were transformed into adults. Completely distraught, you rush into your parent's room. They were transformed in children. Tell result." Unfortunately for them, the subject will become reality.

Season one

In the small town of Cienfuegos, it's a very special day for 7-year-old Alicia Vega (Aroa Palacios) and her family: her First Communion. However, when they are celebrating at the family's restaurant, closed for the occasion, she goes missing.

After two weeks of search, the police only knows one thing: the culprit is one of the people invited to the ceremony. Undercover agents Víctor and Laura arrive in Cienfuegos pretending to be a married couple to infiltrate the surroundings of the Vega family and the rest of suspects.

Season two

The Montalbán Polyclinic Hospital lies just outside Madrid. At the hospital, the strange disappearance of a young French resident is followed by the murder of the chief nurse. Víctor will have to go undercover on the hospital without much evidence to solve the crimes. Only the surveillance video record where the kidnapping of one of the women can be seen. What Víctor, Casas and Vidal (Vicente Romero) do know is that the culprit is an employee of the hospital, and because of it the best way to know is going undercover.

The fact that the disappeared girl is a French citizen will cause the arrival of a French Police inspector and an agent (Mar Sodupe and Hugo Becker) who will go undercover along with Víctor in a complicated police collaboration: frictions are frequent due to the different procedures and ways of seeing the investigation.

In the town of New York City, Casper and his cousin Spooky were getting lessons from their uncles the Ghostly Trio: Fusso, Lazo, and Fatso as they demonstrate by scaring a local family on the subway. Casper couldn't seem to understand why, so in a school of Spookytown, the Trio informed him that they must keep the scares in Ghostburg intact in order to keep the monstrous Volbragg contained. Casper assumed that he is just a myth, so the Trio explained to him and Spooky the origin of Willem George Volbragg, a power-hungry mad politician in the 1600s who wanted to rule New Amsterdam and terrorize the townspeople, but the townspeople had him sunk in into the bottom of the river, leaving him for dead. Volbragg ended up in Spookytown and decided to take it over instead which gives him this massive power by a witch that was able to use the magic spells to collect the scares in Spookytown that is converted into an energy source in order to make him bigger and more power and would destroy any race that has the least scares. This led the more intelligent ghosts and witches, to capture Volbragg and used his scare power to collect into prison and must channel the scare energy to keep him contained.

Meanwhile, Casper decided to fly around Spookytown thinking to see if there is another way to keep Volbragg contained rather than just scaring others. He wanders around town looking at other groups in Spookytown. He stumbled upon a group of witches who were terrorizing citizens, where a young little witch girl interfered, as she is not pleased with her aunts scaring others for their amusement, even though they explained to her that they must keep Volbragg contained. She had all the humans disappear except for one boy, whom Casper unintentionally scares off which leads the young boy back home also causing Casper to meet the young witch who thanked him for helping the boy get home. The witch was named Wendy and seeing how similar she is to him, Casper befriends her, and they spend most of the time hanging out, learning about one another.

One day in Deviland, they encounter a trouble-making young devil name Hot Stuff who pulled a prank on the ogres and has Casper and Wendy take the blame, where the ogres have captured them in a net that even with their powers they can't be able to fade through. Hot Stuff decided to save them by pretending to be a mud monster and demanded the ogres to let them go and entrapped them with the net. After Casper, Wendy and Hot Stuff escape the ogres, Casper and Wendy offer Hot Stuff to join them which he reluctantly agreed to since he can relate to the idea of not being wanted. With Hot Stuff as their new friend, Casper and Wendy decided to show Hot Stuff around teaching him how to be nice as Hot Stuff shows the two of his race of demons. The three encounter a werewolf, who threatens to eat Hot Stuff. Although Casper tries to save him, by scaring the werewolf, the werewolf wasn't intimated by him and finds his attempt to scare him amusing.

The three escape and went into their hideout where they were caught and punished by their elders for hanging out with each other; therefore, they were forbidden to see each other again. Meanwhile, scientists attempted to learn about the other world, and collect its energy source, but the machine they used was taking away their energy and lets loose ghosts, ghouls, and goblins terrorizing their world and weakening the prison's hold that contained Volbragg which woke him up and went on a rampage to rule all of Spookytown. Casper, Wendy, and Hot Stuff reunited and witness the chaos as the many ghosts and ghouls were running from the monstrous beast. Casper believed that he is lonely and all he wanted was to be accepted, but Wendy and Hot Stuff think that he has lost his mind, which led to a huge argument between Casper and Wendy ultimately ending their friendship as Hot Stuff was left all alone. Hot Stuff ran into the scientists who told him what had happened and tried to stop it, but they can't. Hot Stuff flew off to find Casper and Wendy. Meanwhile, Wendy finds the witch that gave Volbragg the magic spells who then, in turn, gives Wendy her old wand that can take Volbragg's magic away. Casper went up to Volbragg thinking that he can try to reason with him, but is interrupted by Hot Stuff and Wendy which give Volbragg the impression that Casper was setting him up.

The three went into the scientist's lab as it was revealed that Volbragg was getting his energy from the electricity from the human world. With that being said, Casper insists on using dampening dust the professor gave him to cope with Volbragg while Wendy would use the wand the witch gave her to take Volbragg, but Volbragg has proven to be too powerful for Casper until Hot Stuff used balloons covered in white sheets that had faces on it in which he used to pull the prank on the ogres, to distract Volbragg, as he was losing power and energy which gives Wendy the opportunity to use the wand against him. It turns out that Volbragg has the power of being a part ghost, part witch, part devil as Wendy has to say three phrases three times to use the magic and take away his powers. Just as a huge brick was about to fall onto her, Hot Stuff pushed her out of the way to save her, giving him the self-sacrifice by getting knocked over by the brick instead.

Later, everyone in Spookytown moaned for Hot Stuff's apparent death, but it was revealed by his parents that the only way to bring him back to life is by dumping him in the fire. He rose up from the fire with everyone cheering that he is alive and they all congratulated Casper, Wendy, and Hot Stuff on defeating Volbragg giving Hot Stuff the idea of having a party to celebrate, as it was the friendship of the three that band together in defeating Volbragg.

The series begins in 2012 (just after the 2012 Summer Olympics), when London and some of the south east has been evacuated in the wake of a nuclear attack during the opening ceremony of the Games. The government has relocated to Manchester; Thames House has been decommissioned, and MI5 is forced to set up offices across the UK in an attempt to help the country avoid new attacks.

Part one

Sam Winchester (Padalecki) is abducted by the yellow-eyed demon Azazel (Lehne) and taken to the abandoned town of Cold Oak, supposedly the most haunted place in America. Also placed there are Azazel's other "psychic children"—young men and women whom the demon visited as babies, doing something that gives them supernatural abilities later in life—including Andy Gallagher (Gabriel Tigerman) and Ava Wilson (Katharine Isabelle), as well as new characters Lily (Jessica Harmon) and Jake Talley (Hodge). Ava had been abducted months earlier, but claims to have no knowledge of her whereabouts during the time gap. Lily tries to leave the town, but is killed by an Acheri demon, prompting the others to seek refuge in a building, protecting themselves from the demon with barriers of salt. As Dean Winchester (Ackles) and fellow hunter Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) head to Harvelle's Roadhouse—a saloon frequented by hunters—for help and find it burned to the ground with the body of hunter Ash (Chad Lindberg) buried in the wreckage, Andy uses his mind-control abilities to send Dean his location telepathically.

After falling asleep that night, Sam is visited in a dream by Azazel, who reveals that he has brought them all together so they can fight to the death, with the sole survivor becoming the leader of his army of demons. Admitting that he killed Sam's girlfriend Jessica because he believed she was holding him back from returning to his old life of hunting supernatural creatures, the demon then shows him the night of his mother's death. Azazel had come into Sam's nursery and fed him his blood, with Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith) walking in and recognizing the demon.

Later, when Ava and Andy are alone together, she lets the Acheri demon into the building, and uses a new ability to command it to kill him. After revealing to Sam that she has actually been in the town all the months she has been missing, killing off other psychic children whom Azazel has sent there, she sets the Acheri demon on him. However, Jake sneaks up behind her and uses his superhuman strength to break her neck, prompting the now free Acheri demon to flee. As Sam and Jake then start to leave the town, Jake attacks him out of distrust, but Sam gains the upper hand and apparently knocks him unconscious. However, as Sam is distracted by an arriving Dean and Bobby, Jake regains consciousness and fatally stabs him. Dean assures his brother he will take care of him, but Sam dies in his arms.

Part two

Desperate to save his brother, Dean sells his soul to a Crossroads Demon (Ona Grauer) in exchange for Sam's resurrection, and is given only one year before collection is due. They later conduct research at Bobby's home, hoping to determine Azazel's plan. Ellen Harvelle (Samantha Ferris), owner of the now-destroyed Roadhouse, then arrives, and is forced to drink holy water to prove she is not possessed by a demon. After giving them a map of Wyoming, which Ash had left in the Roadhouse's safe, she points out five Xs representing the frontier churches built by Samuel Colt—hunter and creator of the mystical Colt, a gun capable of killing anything. Research also shows that railway lines connect all the churches in the form of a pentagram, creating a giant devil's trap that demons cannot enter.

At the pentagram's center is an old cowboy cemetery, which Azazel forces Jake to go to by threatening his family. The Winchesters, Bobby, and Ellen are there to meet him, but Jake, having given in to his demonic side, develops mind-control abilities and orders Ellen to put her gun to her head. Everyone is forced to lower their weapons, giving Jake time to use the Colt as a key to open a mausoleum. However, Sam then shoots Jake in the back, and finishes him off with multiple shots as he begs for mercy. As the mausoleum doors begin to open, they realize it is a Devil's Gate—a doorway to Hell. A rush of demons then escape and break the iron railway lines of the devil's trap, allowing Azazel to enter. As Ellen and Bobby try to close the gateway, Sam and Dean take the Colt to confront Azazel. Unfortunately, the demon catches them by surprise and takes the gun. After taunting Dean about his demonic pact and questioning if what came back was "one hundred percent pure Sam", Azazel prepares to kill them. To his surprise, the escaped spirit of John Winchester (Morgan) grabs him, distracting him long enough for Dean to take back the Colt and shoot him in the heart, finally killing him. As Bobby and Ellen manage to close the gates, John's spirit moves on. Knowing they now have to face an army of demons, Sam promises to try to free Dean from his deal.
