A young man during military service takes his leave and goes to a Greek island in order to borrow an old car by his grandmother. Due to a breakdown in the car, he remains in the island more time until it is repaired. During his accommodation in the island, he ascertains that he comes across only women. At the beginning, he likes this situation but gradually it turns into a nightmare.

The story focuses on the one-handed man, and is a character study of this self-conscious, somewhat anxious and melancholic figure. After living abroad and working as a portrait artist, he has moved home to his mother's following the death of his father seven months before the story takes place. The one-handed man was close to his father and feels the bereavement keenly, and has been unable to paint since.

The novel has two main plot threads:

• Over time and through his experiences and reflections, the one-handed man comes to terms with his father's death. He begins the novel carefully preserving his father's effects, but these are gradually taken over by the fungus. He meets the woman from over the road, who remembers his father fondly but is outgoing and inclined to live in the moment. Eventually the one-handed man begins a relationship with her. Forced from his family home by the fungus to staying in a tent on Öskjuhlíð, he begins to paint portraits of his father, eventually completing a series of twelve depicting him at different stages of life. The novel ends following the opening of an exhibition of these memorials with the one-handed man accepting the cyclical nature of human life.
• The novel opens with the one-handed man and his elder brother renovating their mother's basement. In doing so, they discover a large fungus; attempts to remove it simply make it stronger. The one-handed man starts to notice the fungus elsewhere in the town (including in the basement of the woman from over the road) and takes samples to a biologist, who identifies it as ''Coccidiodes kaputis'' and says that this is known for rare, unexplained outbreaks followed by unexpected remissions (prominently in 1872 and 1928). The spread of the fungus causes panic, but this is stilled by the mayor and his sidekick, a biochemist, who insist that the fungus is not dangerous and is caused by an underground oil leak: disinformation and the struggle for truth to prevail against consensus is a key theme of the novel. Some people begin to eat the fungus, finding that it makes them feel better, while a few others give up the town and start camping on Öskjuhlíð to escape the fungus; the mayor promotes the export of the fungus as a business opportunity. While looking after his nephew, the one-handed man witnesses the fungus causing his nephew a violent asthma attack and takes him to hospital; it later emerges that the staff, who are consuming the fungus, feed it to the one-handed man's nephew and older brother, convincing them that all is well. The one-handed man, however, moves to the tent-city, where he meets the woman from over the road, and later rescues his increasingly sick mother by bringing her there too. The one-handed man and his neighbour both help the biologist with his efforts to research and kill the fungus, which, however, all fail, providing the narrative with three moments of increasingly dramatic disappointed hope, and opportunities for the one-handed man's personal development. Eventually, as the fungus causes widespread morbidity and mortality, and the collapse of large numbers of buildings, people become convinced of its dangers. The one-handed man concludes that the fungus cannot be defeated by human intervention—rather that its growth is exacerbated by attempts to destroy or harvest it—and must be allowed to complete its natural cycle of growth and decay; he convinces his fellow citizens of this; and the novel concludes with evidence that this strategy is working.

Ólafur Guðsteinn Kristjánsson has pointed out that aspects of the first plot thread reflect Óttar's own artistic responses to the death of his own father. Commentators have noted the relevance of the second plot thread to the 2008–11 Icelandic financial crisis, though Eiríkur Örn has noted that 'the author did at some point stress that it in fact wasn't about the crisis'.

One day Jaafar, a fortuneless Palestinian fisherman, catches a Vietnamese pig in his fishing nets. Torn between his Muslim faith and his desire to improve the lives of his wife and himself, pay debts and the reality of the conflict, Jaafar decides to undertake a most unusual trade with a young Russian-Israeli settler, Yelena. She raises pigs and - having no male pig of her own - she asks Jafaar to bring him the seed of his pig.

The story focuses on a young adult named Atsushi Nakajima. After being kicked out of his orphanage, Atsushi stops the suicide of a detective named Osamu Dazai believing he was drowning in the river. During his interactions with Dazai, Atsushi learns he is gifted with a supernatural ability capable of transforming him into a berserker white tiger in the moonlight; this made the orphanage torture him and kick him out in the past. Dazai recruits him into the Agency and there he meets many other ability users as they tackle various cases and events taking place within the city of Yokohama, a place teeming with individuals with Supernatural Abilities. Atsushi becomes the target of the Port Mafia members Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, as there is a bounty on his head on the black market.

During Atsushi's fights against the mafia, he also meets Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, the leader of the Fellowship of the Guild who placed the bounty on his head. Fitzgerald reveals there is a supernatural book capable of changing reality linked with Atsushi's tiger, hence putting a bounty on the black market. Fitzgerald disregards any superficial damage the Guild might bring to Yokohama in exchange for the book, having an airship named "Moby Dick" destroy the city. However, he is nearly killed by Atsushi and Akutagawa once joining forces while former mafia member Kyoka Izumi stops Moby Dick.

Another man known as Fyodor Dostoyevsky appears wishing to obtain the book to in order to erase all gifted people. He arranges a mortal fight between the detectives and the mafia but the true leader behind this organization, Natsume Soseki, stops the fight. While Atsushi and Akutagawa corner the virus' originator, Dazai manages to arrest Dostoyevsky with Fitzgerald's help. However, Dostoyevsky is later revealed to have orchestrated his own imprisonment in order to lead his followers. Pages of the book are later found by Dostoyevsky's group The Decay of Angels who uses its powers to frame the Agency for a murder case. Dazai is imprisoned alongside Dostoyevsky and the government sends its military forces known as the Hunting Dogs to execute the members from the Agency. As the Agency faces defeat, they form an alliance with Fitzgerald and the mafia in exchange for one of their followers. Across the multiple fights, it is revealed there is another person above Dostoyevsky and that person must be stopped. During an encounter with one of Fyodor's allies, Sigma, Atsushi discovers that the leader of Decay of Angels is a person codenamed Kamui. Ranpo Edogawa then manages to gather the Agency and prove their innocence to the law. After this, he uses his skills to determine Kamui's identity: Ōchi Fukuchi, the leader of the Hunting Dogs. Upon being found, Fukuchi tries to kill Ranpo but is stopped Atsushi. Having realized Atsushi would not be able to face Fukuchi alone, Dazai had requested Akutagawa to aid. However, both Atsushi and Akutagawa are defeated by their enemy with the latter sacrificing himself in his last moments to let Atsushi escape.

Set in early 1900s, young Ti-Hung (Lu Hsiao-Fen) and her younger brother, Ti-Jiang became orphaned when their mother died. Being the elder sibling, Ti-Hung took care of her younger brother while being under the charge of their aunt and uncle.

Years passed and Ti-Hung has grown up to be a pretty young lady with excellent embroidery skills and tiny bound feet. Her feet and embroidery works got noticed by a wealthy old matriarch, Lady Li of North Gate, who offered her only grandson, Rui Yu's (Wakin Chau), hand in marriage to Ti-Hung. A fellow villager and poor fisherman, Ah Hai (Simon Yam), who is also a friend of Ti-jiang, is fond of Ti-Hung.

It is also made known here that Ti-Hung is born with the "Cut Palm" fate through a conversation from Ti-Jiang and his fellow fishermen friends. Men born with such a fate would become an official or a great person. Whereas women born with the "cut palm" would be a jinx to the men in their life. Ti-Hung overhears the conversation and appears to be affected by it.

At that same moment, Ti-Jiang dies during a drowning accident while out fishing. All alone by herself, Ti-Hung agrees to marry Rui Yu. Being married into the wealthy Hsin family would also pave her way out of poverty.

Life was rosy for Ti-Hung after marriage and she soon gave birth to a son, Hui Chih. But happiness for her was short-lived. Rui Yu dies of pneumonia and leaves behind his 23-year-old wife with a young 5-year old child. Without the support from old Lady Li, Rui Yu's uncle volunteers to handle the family's account in the absence of his nephew. Being the only kin of Hui Chih, Ti-Hung became an over-protective and strict mother. Ti-Hung blames her bad fate for the cause of Rui Yu's early demise. However, when she found out that her late husband was meant to be short-lived through revelation from Rui Yu's uncle of a monk's predictions of Rui Yu when he was a young boy, she felt relieved.

Free from guilt, Ti-Hung starts to enjoy her new status as mistress of the family while living off her inheritance. She got addicted to opera and neglected her duties to her family until her long time personal maid, Hsin Yue, hinted to her of the family slowly falling apart. Not only was Rui Yu's uncle the main caregiver to Hui Chih, but he was also heavily addicted to opium. Going through the family's accounts, Ti-Hung realised that Rui Yu's uncle had piled on debts through his unhealthy habit. For the safety of Hui Chih, she sent him away to Japan for further studies while she stayed back to settle issues with her uncle.

Not long after, Rui Yu's uncle passed away and she attended his wake while feigning sorrow. Ironically, she picked up opium smoking while at the wake. From there, she took a liking to her uncle's personal young servant, Chun Shu (Tuo Chung-hua), and began an affair with him. Noticing that Chun Shu starts getting cocky after their one-night stand, Ti-Hung sets him up for theft and have him put away in a bid to silence him about their affair.

Shortly after, Ti-Hung realises that she is pregnant and tries to hide the pregnancy when a grown up Hui Chih comes back to visit his mother. Eventually, Ti-Hung comes clean to Hui Chih on her pregnancy. Hui Chih accepts it and plans to bring his mother to Japan for a vacation and deliver her child so as not to incite rumours and gossips in their hometown. The newborn is then given up for adoption in Japan.

Back in her hometown, Ti-Hung worries about Hsin Yue's youth and marriageability. Hsin Yue reveals that a dowry was made to her for her hand in marriage. The proposal came from Ah Chu, a family staff (and Hsin Yue's crush) that Ti-Hung fired many years ago for allegedly 'leading Hui Chih astray'. Happy for Hsin Yue, yet sad at the same time, Ti-Hung gives her blessings to the couple.

Fast forward to many decades, Ti-Hung is now in her 70s and ageing badly. At a temple one day, she found out that Ah Hai has eked out his own living from a fisherman to a wealthy businessman and is now an influential person. Hui Chih is always busy at work being a delegate to the Japanese and hardly visits or calls his mother. Scenes of Ti-Hung's youth flashes past her as she slowly passes away peacefully all alone by herself among the riches around her. As her life had destined, Ti-Hung will ultimately be alone in her end of days.

During a warm springy Sunday afternoon in a small town of South Italy, the opening of the polling place is disrupted by three Italian citizens and one Eritrean, who are unemployed, angry and armed. They threaten to occupy the school designed for the poll. They start to negotiate with the police, but eventually the four men are forced to leave.

A generation ship is launched from Saturn in 2545 at 0.1 c (i.e. traveling at 108,000,000 km/hr or 10% the speed of light). It includes twenty-four self-contained biomes and an average population of two thousand people. One hundred sixty years and approximately seven generations later, it is beginning its deceleration into the Tau Ceti system to begin colonization of a planet's moon, an Earth analog, which has been named Aurora.

Devi, the ship's ''de facto'' chief engineer and leader, is concerned about the decaying infrastructure and biology of the ship: systems are breaking down, each generation has lower intelligence test scores than the last, and bacteria are mutating and evolving at a faster rate than humans. She tells the ship's AI, referred to simply as Ship, to keep a narrative of the voyage. After having some trouble with understanding the human concept of narrative, Ship eventually elects to follow the life of Devi's daughter Freya as a protagonist.

As a teenager, Freya travels around the ship on her ''wanderjahr'' and learns that many of the ship's inhabitants are dissatisfied with their enclosed existence and what they perceive as a dictatorship. Movement is strictly limited for most people, reproduction is tightly controlled, and education in science and mathematics is mandatory. Freya's ''wanderjahr'' comes to an end when she is called home as Devi grows sick from cancer and dies.

The ship arrives in the Tau Ceti system and begins to settle Aurora, a moon of Tau Ceti e. It soon becomes apparent that extraterrestrial life is present in the form of primitive prions, which infect and kill some of the landing party. All except one of the remaining settlers attempt to return to the ship, and some of those remaining onboard kill them in the airlock to maintain quarantine, leading to a violent political schism throughout the ship. The ship itself, which has been moving towards self-awareness, takes physical control of the situation by lowering oxygen levels and separating warring factions, referring to itself as "the rule of law". It then reveals to the crew that there were in fact two ships originally launched for the Tau Ceti expedition, but the other was destroyed during a period of severe civil unrest, and the collective memory of that event was erased from the history records.

Under Ship's moderation, a more peaceful debate takes place between the inhabitants about what to do now that Aurora is known to be inhospitable. Unable to reach consensus, the factions agree to part ways, with those who wish to stay retaining as many resources as can be spared to pursue an unlikely attempt at terraforming the Mars-like moon Iris, while the other group, led by Freya, opt to try and return to Earth. Using raw materials in the Tau Ceti system, they refuel the ship to allow acceleration back to Earth; since they lack fuel to decelerate, they must rely on the laser propulsion system that originally launched them from the Solar System to slow them down on approach. The last remaining Aurora settler, who remains permanently quarantined in his shuttle attached to the exterior of the ship, elects to return to Earth as well. Initially, Freya and the others who return remain in communication with those who remained in the Tau Ceti system, but much later on their voyage home this communication stops.

On the voyage back to Earth, the ship's biomes continue to deteriorate as bacteria flourish and crops fail. The humans soon face famine and experiment with an untested form of cryogenic freezing, which is largely successful. The ship's repeated entreaties to Earth to turn back on the laser propulsion system are ignored due to societal and political strife back in the Solar System, and many citizens' anger at the colonists' "cowardice". Eventually a private group funds and reactivates the laser, but the delay means the ship's speed is only reduced by a fraction of what is needed. Ship is therefore forced to decelerate by means of gravity assist between various planets, a process which takes twelve years. During this time, with the full communications data of humanity available to it, it learns more about why it was launched in the first place—simply for expansionism—and denounces its builders as "criminally negligent narcissists". Ship manages to safely drop its humans off on a pass of Earth but fails to make a final gravity slowdown past the Sun. Ship is destroyed along with the last survivor of the landing on Aurora.

Freya and the other "starfarers" have trouble adjusting to life on Earth, especially with many Terrans hostile to them for a perceived sense of ingratitude and cowardice. At a space colonization conference, a speaker says humanity will continue to send ships into interstellar space no matter how many fail and die, and Freya assaults him. Eventually she joins a group of terraformers who are attempting to restore the Earth's beaches after their loss during previous centuries' sea level rise. While swimming and surfing, she begins to come to terms with life on Earth.

Miami Dolphins superstar running back Tony Nathan attended Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Alabama during the early 1970s. Nathan became a model student and the first black football superstar in Alabama history. He and other black students played on the mainly white team under coach Tandy Gerelds at a time when racial tensions were very high. He was credited with helping to unify the team, which went on to play the biggest high school game in Alabama history. After high school Nathan played for Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant at the University of Alabama. He later played under coach Don Shula with the Miami Dolphins and was a starter in two Super Bowls. The 2015 film Woodlawn starring Caleb Castille as Nathan and Nic Bishop as Coach Gerelds, with Jon Voight as Bear Bryant is based on his high school years.

When Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Alabama, is controversially desegregated in 1973, gifted black athlete Tony Nathan and several other black players join the school's predominantly white football team. The coach, Tandy Gerelds, tells the team to use their shared anger at repeated violent incidents to unite them, but black and white players clash on and off the field. After a riot at the school, Gerelds lets traveling sports chaplain Hank Erwin speak to the team as a "motivational speaker". Hank's speech moves nearly the entire team to accept Hank's invitation to commit their lives to follow Jesus Christ, and to join together in prayer and work. Gerelds does not accept the invitation, and is unsure what to make of the event.

The team loses its first game, but after Gerelds decides to play Nathan over the objections of some of the white players' parents, they win their next game. Nathan becomes a breakout star, and the team goes on a long winning streak leading up to their final game with rival L. Frazier Banks High School.

Banks coach "Shorty" White instructs his players to target Nathan, and the repeated hard tackles take their toll. Nathan scores a touchdown, but is injured by a vicious late hit and is unable to continue playing. Woodlawn loses, but Gerelds expresses pride in his team for "the men they've become". After coming to faith Gerelds eventually seeks out Nathan's church during a Sunday service, where he testifies to the change in his life, and asks to be baptized.

Many people wonder about the turnaround in Woodlawn's team, and Hank arranges a meeting between the Woodlawn players and Banks players, leading to a spiritual awakening on the Banks team as well. Gerelds and White hold an unprecedented joint football camp before the 1974 season, and a camaraderie develops between the two teams. Both go undefeated for the season until their final game against each other, which because of the stardom of Nathan and Banks quarterback Jeff Rutledge, draws a huge record crowd.

A few years later, now working as an insurance agent, Gerelds admits to a customer that while they did lose that big game, the transformation he witnessed in the lives of many people was miraculous.

After Nathan, now playing for Alabama, carries his team to victory in the Sugar Bowl, he calls Gerelds at home and expresses his gratitude, encouraging him to return to coaching.

The city-state of Mycenae is able to dominate the rest of the nearby city-states due to its impregnable fortress. Led by a facially deformed King who believes himself Moloch incarnated, the madman demands slaves as tribute, where he tortures and kills a selected few. Prince Glaucus from Tiryns has an idea to seize and destroy Mycenae from within. Using the name of Hercules, he poses as one of the slaves given to Mycenae in tribute.

He becomes a gladiator, but he secretly plots to lead a revolution and destroy the creature that has enslaved the people.

Set in the Genesis flood narrative, Dave is a Nestrian, a brightly coloured aardvark-themed creature whose only skills seems to be making comfortable nests and secreting a foul-smelling cloud of blue gas whenever he gets emotional. Dave is constantly moving around searching for a place to stay, a real home, much to the despair of Finny, his son, who only wants to make friends. After hearing a rumor of a colossal wave that is said to cover the whole world, Dave packs up again and takes Finny to a giant gathering of animals where their only salvation awaits: a huge ark, big enough to fit in all the animals of the world, and built by a very nice human named Noah. But the Lion who is the captain rejects the Nestrians due to Dave's eccentricities and blue smoke. are turned away as they are not on the Lion's list. The Lion manages all animal affairs on the ark and is the captain. With the use of some creative thinking, some Nestrian craftsmanship, and the involuntary help of the carnivorous Grymps, Hazel and her daughter Leah, they manage to sneak on the ark after all.

Just when the day seemed to have been saved, Dave and Hazel realize that Finny and Leah have disappeared. Their curiosity having gotten the better of them, they were on the scaffolding as the tidal wave hit the boat and it sailed away. The parents panic as the ark sails away, leaving their children stranded on the last bit of land not yet engulfed by the water.

Their desperate race against time begins. Leah, who is a born hunter and survivor is burdened with the clumsy and awkward Finny. Somehow, they manage to escape from the rising water, but a pair of greedy and gruesome megabat-themed creatures called Griffins. Eventually, they add two more odd creatures who were also rejected from the ark to their ranks they meet Obesey the whale and his parasite companion Stayput. Finding his footing, surrounded by his new group of friends, Finny starts to emerge as the brave hero that he really is.

Meanwhile, their parents must get over their differences to work together, fight their way through gorilla guards and the egotistical Lion to take control of the ark and save their children.

Having had many adventures, the "fearless four" manage to fight the continuing attacks of two griffins who see Leah and Finny as their dinner. Eventually, the griffins and Obesey fall into the rising water along with Stayput. As the water reaches the top of the mountain where Leah and Finny are, the parents manage to take control of the ship and steer it to the mountaintop. Leah and Finny manage to climb on a piece of floating ice when the water engulfs the mountain.

When the ark passes their little iceberg, it turns out to be hard to climb on. Finny first manages to climb on the ark, but he does not want to leave Leah behind and jumps back on the iceberg. Then Leah jumps on board of the ark and uses her sharp claws to hold on. Finny tries to get back on the ark too, but falls in the water, seemingly unconscious or dying. When Dave tries to save Finny from drowning in the water, the plot twist is revealed: Nestrians are really amphibious creatures, perfectly able to breathe and swim while submerged. This also explains why Dave was never feeling at home. As the griffins try to eat Leah, Obesey later appears and eats them.

In the final scenes, Dave and Finny swim alongside the ark, waving at Leah and Hazel. On the deck of the ark, the Lion Captain and his flamingo assistant discuss whether they should have told Dave and Finny in the beginning they were sea creatures.

In the credits, the Ark stops at the Mount Ararat and when all the animals leave the Ark, and the Dave and Finny discover Nestrians in the sea. It also includes Finny and Dave teaching Leah and Hazel how to swim and they with Stayput and Obesey while the griffins play cards near a stack of fish inside Obesey's stomach.

Christelle, a mother, disappears without a trace.

In Los Angeles, air hostess Rita Moore (Jean Muir) chats with her suitor, reporter Terry Brewer (Warren Hull), as passengers check in for a flight to New York. Brewer recognizes federal agent Mike Phelan (John Litel) traveling incognito. Guessing Phelan will be after "Killer" Madsen, wanted for murder, Brewer phones his editor for permission and boards the aircraft as well, to the annoyance of pilot Bob White (Gordon Oliver), another suitor of Rita's. The Ford Trimotor now has a full load of 12 passengers.

At a stop in Albuquerque, passenger Katie Tristo (Nedda Harrigan), who generally talks about nothing but astrology, buys an Indian-made dagger from a souvenir stand. Between there and the next stop in Kansas City, most of the passengers are dozing when someone uses this dagger to kill another passenger, Ramon Duval (Gordon Elliott).

When the crime is discovered, Phelan reveals his true identity and attempts to take charge, but instead a "female" passenger draws a gun, disarms and handcuffs Phelan, and hijacks the aircraft. He removes his disguise: he is "Killer" Madsen. After the radio transmitter is disabled, he throws the pilots' guns out the cockpit window, and orders them to fly to Evansville, Indiana. As they fly, Brewer interviews Madsen, who claims he never murdered anyone with a knife. If so, someone else must have committed this new murder.

Rita attempts to drug Madsen's coffee, but instead knocks out copilot Johnny Martin (Carlyle Moore Jr.). A dust storm arises and all aircraft are ordered to land. Madsen makes White fly until the dust stops the engines, forcing an emergency landing in Missouri. Madsen leaves the aircraft, ordering the other passengers and crew to give him a 10-minute start, and commandeers an elderly couple's farmhouse nearby. The others find the same house and are again taken hostage.

Eventually Madsen orders White to repair the engines and resume the flight. Brewer goes along to help, and while Madsen is watching White, he manages to repair the radio and call police as well as filing his news story. The other hostages are afraid enough of Madsen to remain in the house, which has no phone.

As they pass the time viewing anaglyph 3-D photos with a stereoscope, Rita realizes that Katie looks younger when seen through its red lens. Phelan then recognizes her as Katie Dorne, a second fugitive, disguised by red makeup. Rita finds a way to arm herself and goes to confront Madsen, but he uses Brewer as a shield and shoots White, wounding him. Brewer then manages to overpower Madsen. fail Phelan arrives, recovers his handcuff key, puts the cuffs on Madsen, and also arrests Dorne for murdering Duval. They had stolen $90,000 worth of bonds together, and Phelan had been following Duval to catch them both. She killed Duval because he had taken all the bonds. Madsen's presence on the same flight was coincidental.

White now assists with a smile as Brewer proposes to Rita; the two board the aircraft and begin kissing.

Sal Camilucci (Taylor) is a slacker and small-time criminal in Sudbury, Ontario, whose mother Maria (Dale) reveals to him that she was a virgin when she became pregnant with him and demands that he start performing good deeds in preparation for his destiny as the Second Coming of Christ. He is initially disbelieving and unwilling, and instead tries to stay on his current life path with the aid of his friend Vince (McDonald) — but he seems to have a knack for stumbling into opportunities to perform small-scale miracles in the process, such as when he gets into a jail fight in the first episode and his punch to a blind man's face restores his sight.

Sal is also trying to win the love of Nicole (Horn), a masseuse at his favourite rub and tug parlour, but she doesn't see a stable future with him and instead starts to date his childhood nemesis Darryl (Scott Cavalheiro), who is now a wealthy and confident lawyer who has offered to pay for Nicole to go back to school to pursue her dream of becoming an artist.

At the time of Sal's conception, Maria was in a relationship with Joe (Blicker); as they had never had sex, Joe believed that Maria had cheated on him, and started having an affair of his own with her sister Lena (Brûlé), who is now his wife. Maria has never gotten over her feelings for Joe, which has caused friction in her relationship with her sister as Lena believes that Maria is still trying to steal Joe back, while remaining oblivious to the hypocrisy of having stolen Joe from Maria in the first place.

Father Luke, the only other person who knew about the circumstances of Sal's birth prior to Maria revealing them to Sal, continually tries to step in unsolicited as Sal's spiritual advisor, while simultaneously trying to manage his declining congregation and angling to get appointed as a bishop.

It's 75 BC and Rome is in turmoil. Killers are on the loose. The dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix is having all the Roman Senators who refuse to support him murdered. Julius Caesar must flee due to his wife's Cornelia family's ties to Sulla's enemies. Caesar decides to flee Rome to the court of his friend, King Nicomedes of Bithynia. While traveling to Mileto, Caesar is captured by pirates and taken to their island fortress on the island of Formacusa. The pirates led by Hamar are engaged in hostilities with Bithynia, and Caesar swears that once he has paid his ransom of fifty talents of gold, he will return and destroy the pirates.

College hockey hero Gabby Dugan turns professional, and he and new teammate/roommate Jumbo Mullins become acquainted with the O'Rourke sisters, Kathleen and Peggy, who bring their family to a game. Prior to the game, Gabby is approached by gambler Nick Torga offering to pay him to intentionally take penalties that will harm his team chances. He refuses the offer but nonetheless proceeds to intentionally take penalties because the O'Rourkes sit next the penalty box and his being sent there allows him to court Kathleen. Noting Gabby's excessive penalties but unaware of his true motives, Nick assumes Gabby has decided to help him after all and sends a payment to his residence. Upon seeing the money, Jumbo also concludes that Gabby has agreed to take payment in exchange for intentionally losing games. When Jumbo accuses Gabby directly, they fight and Jumbo clubs Gabby over the head with a stick.

Gabby's head injury results in a degradation of his eyesight. His doctor advises him to immediately begin wearing glasses to head off further damage, but Gabby refuses, planning to make it through the remainder of the playoff season first. In the meantime, team officials have also noticed his seeming intent upon taking penalties and are now also suspicious that he's involved in throwing games for gamblers. In the next game, Gabby's poor eyesight causes him to play poorly, including shooting the puck into his own team's net.

Lord Crudelta, wanting to experiment with sending a person through space-three (usually written as space³), selects Artyr Rambo; he is in a hospital on Earth Four, anxious to find his lover Elizabeth. (The name "Artyr Rambo" is a phonetic spelling of "Arthur Rimbaud": "y" is the standard phonetic symbol for the vowel written "u" in French.) Having sent Elizabeth, who is dangerously ill, to a hospital on Earth, Crudelta constructs a special spaceship which sends Rambo through space³, almost immediately arriving on Earth. He is found naked and unconscious lying on grass by the hospital. In the hospital, he remains inert; the doctors wonder who he is and what explains the unique unresponsive state they find he is in. Space³ has given Rambo special powers: aware of Elizabeth's presence in the building, he tears his way through a wall, and his uttered word "No", when he cannot see her, has an effect on technology in the area. Back in his hospital bed, he speaks gibberish when the doctors try to talk to him.

Crudelta travels, by normal means, from Earth Four to Earth. Believing that Rambo might be a danger to humanity, he seizes troops and they enter the hospital. The leading soldiers turn and attack those behind. In two minutes of confusion, many people are killed. Rambo, asleep and unaware of his powers, had caused the troops nearest Elizabeth to defend her against the rest.

There is later a trial of Lord Crudelta. He tells the Investigating Lord that he induced rage in Rambo by saying that Elizabeth was at the edge of death, so that he would want to come faster to Earth than anyone had done, to make him travel through space³. He says he chose Earth Four to select someone, because it was a planet of explorers and adventurers where the rage level was already high.

When Rambo testifies, he becomes articulate when he describes the journey through space³; he says "I ''was'' the ship.... I was the drunkboat myself", and he expresses the experience with striking imagery (taken from Arthur Rimbaud's poem "Le Bateau ivre").

For Crudelta, the conclusion of the panel of seven Lords of the Instrumentality is "He has many troubles ahead of him, and we wish to add to them." Rambo and Elizabeth are brought back to health and are free to continue their lives. Although their relationship has less intensity than formerly on Earth Four, he is happy: "A man who has been through space³ needs very little in life, outside of ''not'' going back to space³."

But just as he trills the final electrifying notes of his song, a mysterious person in the audience audibly bites into a “Crunchy Cracker”. After the show, an outraged Baalthazar storms off, swearing never to return to the Love Birds stage. Armitage chases after his old friend (and star attraction of the show).

Just then, a well-meaning quartet of penguins inadvertently blocks the plesiosaur's passage. Dismayed at losing sight of Baalthazar, Armitage's mood brightens when he discovers that the fresh-faced foursome can sing. After hearing only a short excerpt of their song '''(Mary Poppins)''', Armitage hires the quartet on the spot. Suddenly gussied-up in barbershop regalia, Parker, Presley, Pewcey and Puck take the stage as performers in the show. Overnight the four penguins become a regular fixture in the “Love Birds” revue, singing and dancing alongside Baalthazar's backup singers, the three musical veteran macaws, Vera, Veronica and Valentine '''(Tinpanorama)'''.

Albeit performances run to half empty houses, Armitage is gratified that he can still, at least keep the show running. He tries to reassure Valentine (who is Baalthazar's daughter) that although her father will, from time to time, pull melodramatic stunts, eventually he always “flies right.” Still, until his return, the plesiosaur suggests the company will have to “improvise a little”. He encourages the Love Birds cast to continue to find new (family-friendly) material to perform. In this spirit, the penguins and parrots cobble together an operetta entitled, “The Unlikely Saga of Sadie Macaw”. Its debut marks the first time precocious Puck plays opposite parrot ingénue Valentine '''(Sadie Macaw [pt. 1] / Bird With The Broken Heart / Valentine / Sadie Macaw [pt. 2])'''.

The next day, Puck finds Valentine backstage, rummaging through Armitage's old trunk of songs, looking for something to sing. Clearly smitten with the parrot, Puck awkwardly presents her with “a rose of congratulation” in recognition of their first performance together. Valentine enjoys the attention of her would-be suitor even though she doesn't take Puck particularly seriously. Still Puck making her laugh serves as a much needed reprieve from her ongoing worry concerning her missing father. Together the penguin and the parrot sift through a flurry of quirky songs, each one possessing a more peculiar title than the last. When they finally happen on a song called “Today Is Yesterday’s Tomorrow” Valentine explains that “Armitage gave up songwriting after that!” Just then, Armitage appears. He elaborates that he gave up songwriting because the publishers said he was a dinosaur '''(Old Fashioned Guy)'''. The song morphs into an “on-stage” soft-shoe number. Halfway through, Baalthazar unexpectedly swoops back onto stage. Two old cronies, Baalthazar and Armitage, finish out the number together, revealing the deep-seated friendship they share for each other, despite their differences and ongoing squabbles.

When the song concludes, the mood shifts. Baalthazar tries to persuade Armitage into modernizing the show by introducing elements of burlesque. Armitage is adamant that he will never let the show “go blue” even if it means not making much money.

Frustrated, Baalthazar exits and Veronica finds Armitage alone. Wanting to thank him for giving her the job singing in the troupe, she makes seductive advances toward him. Taken aback, Armitage stops Veronica from going any further. He tells her that she doesn't ever have to thank him in that sort of manner. He confides in her that to him she is a “an angel – with wings and a celestial voice” He entered show business so that he could be close to that, not so that he could destroy it. Veronica is moved to tears.

Meanwhile, Baalthazar has not given up trying to bring in more revenue vis-à-vis “going burlesque”. To this end, he works behind the scenes, convincing Presley and the other penguins to perform a more titillating, Charleston-esque song '''(The Flipper Flap)'''. As the song concludes, Armitage storms the stage, apologizing to the audience for the penguins’ choice of “blue” material. Backstage, the plesiosaur chastises the penguins. Awash in feelings of guilt (and confusion) Presley repents, committing to make more traditional choices in his life moving forward (Old Fashioned Guy [Reprise]).

Dressed as a male mobster (parrot), Vera performs, '''(The Sharpest Smile)''' a cautionary tale about a doomed romance between a parrot and a crocodile named “Pearl” (who is played by Armitage). As the song progresses, “Pearl” chases the “mobster” up and down the stage in a loving attempt to eat the mobster alive.

In a private moment, Baalthazar discloses (only to the audience) his obsession with “Crunchy Crackers”. He explains that mankind has systematically used “the devil biscuit” to oppress his species. He vows never to allow the Crunchy Cracker to wield such power over him. Just then Veronica enters. Efforts thwarted once already, Baalthazar maneuvers Veronica into singing a burlesque interpretation of a song he knows Armitage wouldn't suspect could “go blue” – because it's a song that Armitage himself wrote '''(Paint A Rainbow)'''. Baalthazar wagers that once they see it performed, the audience will get a taste for Veronica's risqué “feather dance” and it will become an inevitable fait accompli that the show must “go blue”. When Armitage finally sees what's happening on stage though, he's mortified. As the number finishes, the Machiavellian macaw victoriously takes the spotlight. As he had predicted, the audience responds with hoots and hollers. He then reveals to the audience that the feather dance was his idea after all. Armitage takes the stage, once again expressing his deep disappointment with the conniving parrot. Impetuously Baalthazar, yet again, storms out of the theatre. Valentine begs her father to stay, or at least to tell her where he's going, but Baalthazar refuses to tell her.

Later that night, while attempting to acquire some Crunchy Crackers from a shady street vendor, Baalthazar is arrested. Having hit rock bottom, the humbled parrot confesses his cracker addiction to one and all '''(Crunchy Crackers)'''. Baalthazar becomes so frenzied that he must be carried off stage so that he can seek help for his affliction. Armitage delivers the sad news that “Without a star who can fill the theatre seats, that night’s show must be their very last.” Valentine meets with her father just before he's about to leave for the Cracker Asylum. She has a long overdue conversation with Baalthazar about their relationship '''(On Cloudy Days)'''.

With all hope seemingly lost, Puck cheers Valentine up just as they're about to go on stage for the very last time. Suddenly Valentine sees the young penguin through different eyes '''(Love Birds)'''. At the song's conclusion, penguin and parrot kiss, causing a scandal that hits all the newspapers. Armitage is forced to appear before the Supreme Court where he must now stand trial in front of the Chief Justice of the land. The case is ultimately dismissed due to there being no actual laws broken.

The show is reopened and due to the recent notoriety it had received, becomes more popular than ever. In light of Valentine and Puck's romance, Presley and Veronica announce that they too are in love. Armitage reluctantly gives the birds his blessing – and as he does, a sudden surge of euphoria washes over him, making him realize how good casting off outmoded convictions can feel. The plesiosaur's newfound spirit of acceptance is quickly put to the test when Parker and Pewcey reveal that they too, “have found love!” To everyone's surprise, Armitage rushes to congratulate the two penguins. Parker and Pewcey are deeply relieved to receive Armitage's approval. Then Armitage adds enigmatically, that he looks forward to meeting the penguins’ future WIVES too”. Finally back from the “Cracker Palace,” and cracker-free for two months, Baalthazar appears on stage. He consoles Parker and Pewcey reminding them that Armitage is a dinosaur after all, and that one shouldn't expect progressive thinking from a dinosaur. Then the reformed parrot adds that they shouldn't worry: “Armitage will come around. He always does.” As the show comes to a close, Armitage tells the penguins, parrots and the audience that we should embrace love where we can find it '''(Today Is Yesterday's Tomorrow)'''. Then, taking his own advice, he kisses Vera. '''(Love Birds [Finale])'''.

Riley, now 12, is relaxing with her parents at home when a school friend, a boy named Jordan (seen briefly at the end of ''Inside Out''), shows up to take her skating. Riley's parents suspect their daughter is going out on a date, and their emotions react. Riley's mother attempts to get the information out of her, by attempting to sound cool and using slang terms, much to Riley's (and her emotions') chagrin.

Riley's father tries to intimidate and interrogate Jordan, he was also about to kick him out. When Jordan mentions he plays in a band, Riley's father recalls his own memories of being in a band, and the two begin to bond over their shared love of AC/DC. Riley and her mother come downstairs, to see her father and Jordan playing air guitar to AC/DC's "Back in Black", causing embarrassment to Riley.

Riley quickly rushes Jordan out the door as her parents watch, concluding that Jordan is a "good kid" and feeling nostalgic about their own love.

The short ends with Riley's parents sharing a kiss, causing Riley's Dad's emotional center to erupt in excitement, and celebrate once again to AC/DC's "Back in Black". After the credits, we again see things from inside Riley's mother's head, as she enjoys the kiss to the music of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away".

She breaks off the kiss after a moment, and Riley's father goes to fix the table he knocked over.

Bobby and Rims are co-workers in a company owned by Adolph Mengle Sr. But their path to romance has two big impediments: she is the sole support of her lazy family—who would rather stay in their apartment and complain about sports and "the European situation"—and the boss' spoiled son, who is trying to break them up so he can marry her himself.

In the Characters' Past

In the early years of Camelot, about 1,000 years before the Present, Merlin is walking through the forest, calling out The Dark One with the Dagger of Kris. As the original Dark One appears, Merlin tells the gold masked being that he destroyed the only woman he ever loved, so now he will destroy him. However, Merlin fails in his attempt to stab the Dark One, only to drop the knife in shock, saying that he can't do it. The Dark One then picks up the dagger, and holds it to Merlin's neck, with Merlin telling the Dark One that he "misses her." However, the Dark One uses the Dagger to collect a teardrop from Merlin instead, which causes the Dagger to briefly glow purple, and turns him (Merlin) into a tree.

In Camelot

The events of how Merlin was transformed is witnessed through a dreamcatcher by Emma as she stands near the tree. At the same time, David and Mary Margaret, who are now under King Arthur's command, convince Regina to hand over the dagger to Arthur, unaware that moments after, Regina took the two to the treestump where it was hidden. Emma was waiting for her parents by placing a freezing spell on them. She tells Regina about Arthur using Mary Margaret and David in order to unite Excalibur with the dagger and then kill Merlin, which is why Emma wants a skeptical Regina to work with her to free the sorcerer, even though Regina is not convinced of Emma's claim, believing that Emma's darkness is telling Emma this, which Emma disputes by saying it's true and that dark magic is the answer. Regina asks how Emma knew her parents were under the spell, and she shows Regina the dreamcatcher. Regina tells Emma that the device catches more than dreams because it's dark magic and dangerous, as Emma believes that her dark magic is stronger than she thought.

Emma then explains to Regina about how Merlin was imprisoned in the tree. Regina suggests to Emma that a tear of another lost love would be the answer to releasing Merlin. At the same time this was happening, Henry helps Violet groom her horse. The two talked about having lost a parent, with Violet telling Henry that her mother was once a champion rider before she died. Henry then sees a sword and pretends to pull Excalibur from the stone, but he is no match for the sword, and he falls through the stable wall. All of a sudden Violet's father Sir Morgan arrives, where the introduction becomes an unwelcomed one for Henry. Morgan disapproves of the outsider because of his lack of swordsman and horse riding skills, and even saving Violet from an ogre attack if it comes to that. Morgan tells Henry to stay away from Violet and leave the stables.

Later on in the woods, Regina and Emma stumble onto Henry practicing and both give him a boost of encouragement. This brought back memories for Regina as she reflected about how Cora killed Daniel, which gave Regina an idea to obtain the tear, which could come from her by using the dreamcatcher. When Emma tried using it, the potion didn't work, as Regina has moved on with Robin. Meanwhile, Henry treats Violet to dinner and a movie at Granny's and she is impressed, but when the subject of dating or courting came up, Violet tells Henry that she wants to just be friends, but explains that it was not because of her father's disapproval of him. This devastated Henry because he is not a hero in this universe. He is consoled by Regina, who then takes Henry's teardrop and gives it to Emma and tells Henry he just found a way to save Emma.

As they joined Emma at Merlin's tree, Arthur and his Knights are ready to stop Regina and Emma from releasing Merlin, calling them liars. As Regina unleashed her hand of fire to keep Arthur at bay, she tells Emma to use the spell, which unleashes light and dark magic, freeing Merlin. The now-human sorcerer then calls out Emma, and lashed out at Arthur, telling the King that he - and not Merlin's false prophecies - are to blame for this mess, and added as long as the dagger and Excalibur are separated Merlin is untouchable. Arthur, however says this is far from over. Merlin later lifted Arthur's spell off of David and Mary Margaret. Hook asks Merlin if he can he free Emma to remove darkness out of her. Merlin revealed he could lift the darkness from Emma, but there was just one thing he needs from Emma, and that is if Emma's heart was ready to release the darkness from hers.

In Storybrooke

In present day, the residents discover that Grif has disappeared, but Arthur, who had his squire killed, kept silent about his "whereabouts." Henry, on the other hand, believes the only way to stay positive in light of all this is to hold a dance, which in turn was a way to ask Violet out. At the same time, Emma continues to make a real man out of Gold without telling him exactly why she needed him. Gold tried to tell Emma that being the Dark One would cost her the ones she loved, but she didn't want to listen. She then brings in Merida to do her bidding and sends them to the woods. Emma, heeding Gold's words, was having second thoughts about everything as she went to her shed full of dreamcatchers and cried. As they arrive in the woods, Merida began putting Gold to work on making him a hero, but he is shown to be weak, which infuriated the Scottish archer from DunBroch. She then finds something that he can fight for by showing him Belle's chipped teacup, then taunts Gold on how cowardly he was, even to Belle. Gold immediately takes the sword and swings at Merida, who stops and tells him that what he did was an act of bravery, he was not thinking about himself or his limp: he was thinking of her. But, she also says that they have a long way to go so they can kill Emma.

Later on that day, Henry met up with Violet to ask her out to the dance, but she tells Henry that her horse Nico was missing, so he went to Emma for help, believing the mother he loved was still inside her. He asked her to help him find Nico. The two later found Nico at the pumpkin patch, where the owner warned Emma to stay away. Unbeknownst to Emma, Henry used the missing horse search to allow Regina, Hook, Robin, and Belle sneak into Emma's home to find out what she kept in the basement. When Regina discovers that Emma placed a protection spell on it, she used Henry's scarf to act as a counter spell, and discover Excalibur and the dagger together on the stone.

When Hook tries to pull it, Regina stops him as it might be booby-trapped. Belle also discovers the rope indicating that Gold was in the room, but when Regina gets a text that Emma was returning, everyone makes their exit. As they do, Hook spots a box and a dreamcatcher on the table. Regina believes that is where Emma stored everyone's memories. They later catch up with Arthur to tell about the dagger and Excalibur in Emma's possession, Arthur tells them that if Emma merges the two together it could either snuff out light or dark magic, leading Mary Margaret to believe that Emma might be trying to eliminate the light magic.

Finally, Henry arrives with Nico and brings it to Violet, with Sir Morgan thanking Henry for being a noble and heroic person. Unfortunately, Regina and Robin decided to look into the dreamcatcher, and discover what they see is Violet's memories: It turns out Violet discovered a note from Henry for their date, but Emma materialized and made Violet keep a secret by taking her heart as part of her plan to free Merlin by convincing her to break Henry's heart, which leads to his tear being used. Henry sees this and is devastated by Emma's betrayal and he is not alone; When Emma learns of what happened, Regina explained how she can betray Henry like that by choosing darkness over her son. Regina then warns Emma to stay away from Henry, who has also turned on Emma by closing the blinds on her before she disappears into the darkness.

Theodore Finch and Violet Markey are two teenagers who badly want to escape from their small Indiana town of Bartlett. Violet is a popular girl who is secretly dealing with survivor's remorse, and Finch is a boy obsessed with death, labeled a freak by his peers. Fate brings the two together when both climbed the bell tower at school at the same time, planning to jump off the ledge. Finch was surprised to see Violet up there because she is one of the most popular girls in the school. However, Violet has been dealing with the death of her sister, Eleanor, who died 9 months previously in a car accident after Violet suggested the route home. Violet feels responsible and has not been in a car since the accident. Violet quit the student council, then cheerleading, and struggles with survivor's remorse, and thinks she should have died instead of Eleanor. On the ledge, Finch talks Violet down, and Violet returns the favor, but everyone assumes it's Violet who saved Finch.

As for Finch, he suffers from depression and experiences near-constant thoughts of suicide during his so-called "Awake" periods. Finch's family does not understand his depression, making him feel isolated. Morbidly, he writes out fun facts about other people's suicides on his computer, as well as methods of suicide and the best way to die. Finch initiates a partnership between himself and Violet for a school project in which they will explore their home state of Indiana together. Later, at home, Finch thinks about Violet, looking her up on Facebook, reading about her sister's accident (which he had forgotten), and chatting online with her.

For their project, Finch and Violet travel around Indiana to see important or unusual sites. They see homemade roller coasters, the highest hill in Indiana (Hoosier Hill), and more. The important thing doesn't seem to be the sites themselves, but what the wandering begins to mean for both of them—especially Violet. The two begin a romantic relationship and fall in love. Eventually, Finch pushes Violet to get in the car and begin writing again, for the first time after her sister's accident nine months prior. He helps her begin to talk about her sister's death, which her parents have not managed to do. As a result, Violet begins to heal.

However, Finch's mental health begins to deteriorate. He suffers from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder and therefore, deals with very high highs and very low lows. His behavior demonstrates the characteristic manic periods of impulsive excitability as well as the lethargic, pointless mindset during the depressive periods. He is also physically abused by his father and bullied at school. Additionally, Finch refuses to be diagnosed because the labels make him feel trapped. The one shining spot in his life is his blossoming relationship with Violet.

The teenagers wander around Indiana together some more; however, on one occasion they accidentally stay out until the next morning, angering Violet's parents who forbid their daughter from seeing Finch again.

This begins a downward spiral for Finch, who ends up getting expelled from school after a fight with Violet's ex-boyfriend. Although he still sees Violet on occasion, Finch is easily able to hide his worsening depression from her. Violet doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation and wonders if Finch is losing interest in her.

One particularly bad night, Finch decides to end his life. He takes a handful of sleeping pills, but almost immediately regrets it. He goes to the emergency room and gets his stomach pumped. After that, he tries to get help through a suicide support group in a nearby town. There, he runs into Amanda, a popular student he knows from school. She is concerned about Finch's suicide attempt and tells Violet about it. Violet is obviously worried and tries to help though Finch explodes, angry at her concern, which leads to a big fight.

After their argument, Finch runs away from home, and Violet seems to be the only one looking for him. He sends her mysterious and cryptic texts while he visits the remaining locations for their unfinished school project, although Violet doesn't understand them until much later, thinking Finch was just being rudely cryptic.

A month after he has disappeared, Finch sends an email to every single person he knows, saying goodbye. Violet, in a panic, figures out that he has drowned himself at the Blue Hole, one of their wandering sites for the school project. She goes there and discovers she is right, and she becomes distraught. Later, she manages to decode the texts Finch had sent her, and at the last location they were supposed to visit together, Finch wrote a song for her. This helps the healing process and convinces Violet that Finch's death was not her fault. The book closes with Violet going swimming by herself in the Blue Hole, where she went swimming with Finch, bringing her a sense of peace.

''Subnautica'' takes place in a distant future. The ''Aurora'', a deep-space vessel constructed by the Alterra Corporation, has been sent to a system at the outer reaches of known space on its maiden voyage. Its primary mission is to build a section of high-speed space travel infrastructure known as a Phasegate. However, its secondary mission, unknown to most of the crew, is to search for and, possibly, rescue the crew of a ship named the ''Degasi'', which crashed on planet 4546B ten years prior. As the ''Aurora'' does a gravity slingshot around 4546B, it is attacked by a mysterious energy-pulse and begins to crash land on the planet. Several crew members climb into escape pods, including Ryley Robinson, the player character. The other lifepods' inhabitants perish through various means, leaving Ryley as the lone survivor. Ryley finds records of the ''Degasi'' s crew stating that only three survived the initial crash, but later two out of the three are confirmed dead and one is presumed dead.

During this time, Ryley repairs the radio in his lifepod and gets messages through it from a trading ship called ''Sunbeam'', led by captain Avery Quinn. Avery talks to Ryley and promises that they will take him home, telling him that they will pick him up upon landing on a spot in Mountain Island.

Ryley also learns of the existence of the Precursors, an ancient, advanced alien species that came to planet 4546B approximately one thousand years ago in search of a cure for a highly infectious disease, known as the Kharaa Bacterium. The Precursors discovered Kharaa during the exploration of an unknown planet, and the disease spread due to a failure in quarantine procedures, killing over 140 billion individuals. Investigating thousands of planets in an attempt to find a cure, the Precursors eventually located a species of organism on 4546B they named the Sea Emperor Leviathan, which produced an enzyme that could cure Kharaa. However, the only living Sea Emperor was too old to produce the enzyme in enough potency to have any effect, and the Precursors were unable to force its only eggs to hatch. In an attempt to investigate the egg-hatching process of the Sea Emperor, the Precursors took the egg of a related species, the Sea Dragon Leviathan, but the mother destroyed a Precursor research facility and inadvertently released samples of Kharaa into the planet's ecosystem. Forced to evacuate, the Precursors enabled a facility known as the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, which consists of a large weapon that fires on any ships attempting to leave or land on the planet. It is discovered that this weapon caused the crash of the ''Degasi'' and the ''Aurora''.

As the ''Sunbeam'' flies down, the Quarantine Enforcement Platform shoots it and it explodes in mid-air as Ryley watches.

The Sea Emperor, which seeks the freedom of her children, communicates telepathically with Ryley and helps him discover the prison in which she is held captive. She gives Ryley information on how to hatch her eggs, who does so and is cured by the enzyme produced by the juvenile Sea Emperors. Ryley then disables the Quarantine Enforcement Platform (only achievable by one not infected with Kharaa) and constructs a rocket with blueprints transmitted by Alterra Corporation to a still functioning computer within the wreckage of the ''Aurora.'' After escaping the planet, the Sea Emperor communicates with Ryley a final time, promising that the two "go together" although they are different.

At the barbershop, the Salazars and Manawas watch the riot raging outside. Though Travis wants to wait until the riot dies down before leaving, they are forced to evacuate when looters set fire to the store adjoining the barbershop. While scrambling to reach Travis' truck, Griselda's leg is severely injured by a collapsing scaffold. The group is able to carry her to the truck and escape, and rush to get her to a hospital. They discover that the nearest hospital has been completely locked down, and assume all the other hospitals are in the same state; the group decides to drive to Madison's house to treat Griselda's injury themselves. At the house, Nick, Madison, and Alicia play board games while awaiting Travis' arrival, when a dog unexpectedly arrives at their back door. Nick lets the dog in, and they discover it covered in blood despite not showing any apparent injuries. The dog suddenly begins barking out the window at the reanimated corpse of a neighbor, Peter Dawson, who is attracted to the noise and attempts to break in. The three of them flee through the back door and watch as Peter kills and begins eating the dog. Nick leads Madison and Alicia to the Trans' house next door, where they are able to break in and retrieve a shotgun. Travis and the others arrive at Madison's home and discover Peter, who tries to attack him, but Madison and Nick arrive with the shotgun; when they hesitate to shoot, Daniel grabs the gun and puts down Peter himself. Alicia goes back to the Trans' house to retrieve more ammunition for the shotgun, but runs into the reanimated corpse of their neighbor, Susan, which tries to attack her. With Chris's help, she is able to escape over the fence back into the Clarks' yard, and Nick finally explains the full situation to her, as she was previously unaware of the reanimating corpses.

Shaken by the recent events, all three families decide to stay the night. Daniel tells the others that his cousin will pick up his family in the morning, while Travis plans to lead both the Clarks and the Manawas to the desert. Liza tends to Griselda's injured foot but notes that Griselda will die if not treated by a doctor; Madison offers her some of the Oxycodone that she got for Nick to alleviate the pain. Madison decides to put Susan down using a hammer, but is stopped by Travis, who convinces her that there is still a chance that Susan could be saved. Later that night, Ofelia tells Daniel that she thinks they should go with the other families to the desert, but Daniel insists his family can survive alone; he believes the other families lack the strength to survive, after having witnessed Travis and Madison refuse to put down both Peter and Susan. He also admits to her that he lied about his cousin picking them up, upsetting her even further due to Griselda's worsening condition. The next morning, the Clarks and Manawas depart, but are quickly halted by the arrival of the National Guard, who quarantine the neighborhood. Several citizens are taken away by the Guardsmen, including Susan's husband, Patrick. Travis assumes that the soldiers will be able to contain the outbreak and that life will return to normal, but Daniel laments that it’s too late for that.

Days after the National Guard quarantines the neighborhood into a Safe Zone, residents try to resume life normally, though tensions build under the military rule. A perimeter fence is erected around the neighborhood, and citizens are subjected to strict curfews and regular health monitoring. Madison grows stressed by extra work in taking care of her overcrowded home, while Travis takes on a new role as civilian liaison. Chris begins to document the ongoing events using a video camera; while filming atop the house roof one afternoon, he notices what appears to be a light flashing repeatedly from a window located in the uninhabitable "Dead Zone" outside the fence. Believing it may be a signal from someone alive, he shows the video to Travis, who dismisses it and discourages Chris from investigating any further; undeterred, Chris then shows it to Madison, who seems more receptive but still discourages him from investigating.

One of the neighbors, Doug, begins to refuse the mandatory medical inspections; the leader of the troops, Lieutenant Moyers, orders Travis to try to convince Doug to comply. Travis succeeds and Doug agrees to comply, but a few days later, Doug is discovered to be missing from his house, along with his car. His family panics and seeks help from Travis, but Moyers informs him that Doug was found inside his car near the perimeter fence, and was taken into custody. Travis tells Moyers about the flashing light that Chris claims to have seen, but Moyers dismisses it, and assures Travis that all the buildings outside of the Safe Zone were investigated and found empty. Meanwhile, Liza tries to help injured and sick neighbors using her medical experience; Nick begins to steal morphine from one of her patients, Hector, via an IV drip, despite his claims to have kicked his dependency. When Hector is moved to a military hospital for further treatment, Nick begins to succumb to withdrawal symptoms again; Madison discovers him rifling through drawers looking for drugs, infuriating her. Meanwhile, Ofelia begins to flirt with one of the soldiers, Corporal Adams, in the hopes that he can acquire more medication for Griselda, though he has been unsuccessful so far.

One evening, Madison climbs onto the roof with a flashlight and exchanges signals with the light in the Dead Zone, leading her to believe that someone might be alive out there. She sneaks outside the fence to investigate and finds evidence that the Guardsmen killed civilians, including many uninfected. She returns to camp and mentions this to Daniel, who describes his experience in El Salvador during an illness outbreak, when the sick were taken by the military under the guise of receiving hospitalization but were instead executed. A new military doctor arrives at the camp, Dr. Exner, who quickly determines that Liza has lied about her experience as a nurse; however, because Liza does seem knowledgeable in medicine, and due to general lack of medical staff, Exner requests that Liza joins medical staff at a nearby military hospital. During a medical inspection, Exner advises that Griselda be taken to the military hospital to have her wounds be properly treated; Griselda agrees to go only if Daniel can join her, which Exner accepts. When soldiers arrive to pick them up, however, they state that Daniel is not permitted to go with her, but that they will be taking Nick; he tries to run away but is unsuccessful, and is forcefully loaded into a truck and taken away, despite protests from his family. Soon after, Liza voluntarily leaves on another truck, revealing that she accepted Exner's earlier offer, though she is reluctant about having to leave Chris behind. Later that night, Travis climbs up to the roof and sees the signal from the Dead Zone. Moments later, however, he sees and hears gunfire coming from the same window, followed by darkness.

In a cell at a military compound, Doug, who was previously removed from his neighborhood for refusing to comply with medical inspections, is mocked by another detainee, Victor Strand. When Doug begins to break down in tears, he is moved to another location by guardsmen. Strand then turns his attention to another cellmate, the feverish Nick; when one of the guards tries to move Nick to a new cell, Strand bribes him into leaving Nick with him. When Nick asks why he did it, Strand explains that he has a plan to escape, and he wants to recruit Nick to join him. Meanwhile, in the infirmary at the same compound, Liza helps Dr. Exner treat patients at the hospital, but grows frustrated when she is given limited information on the whereabouts of Nick and Griselda. She manages to discover where Griselda is being treated, but Griselda unexpectedly flatlines and is pronounced dead; Liza and Exner use a captive bolt pistol to prevent her from reanimating.

Back at the neighborhood, Chris is devastated that Liza left voluntarily to help at the hospital, believing that she abandoned them, and worries for her safety, though Travis promises to bring her back. Ofelia grows distressed at the whereabouts of her mother, and begins threatening some of the guardsmen and demanding an explanation. Some of the troops prepare to take her into custody, but the guard she had been flirting with, Corporal Adams, offers to defuse the situation and take her home. Later on, however, Madison discovers that Daniel and Ofelia have tied up Adams in the Trans' basement, with Daniel confiding that he plans to interrogate Adams on the whereabouts of Nick and Griselda. Though Madison is initially horrified at this discovery, she agrees to keep it a secret from Ofelia, who believes that Daniel is simply planning to use Adams as a bargaining chip to bring back Griselda.

In an attempt to cheer up Chris, Alicia takes him to the abandoned home of one of their wealthy neighbors, where the two of them get drunk and begin destroying many of the items inside. While walking back to their house later that evening, they notice that the National Guards troops seem to be preparing to leave the area. Meanwhile, Travis manages to convince Moyers' squad to take him to the hospital to check on his friends. While en route, the soldiers stop near a convenience store where Moyers encourages Travis to shoot the reanimated corpse of one of the employees; Travis is emotionally unable to pull the trigger, much to the frustration of the soldiers. After continuing onward, the soldiers stop again to assist another squad in a building infested by the undead, and most of those soldiers, including Moyers, are overwhelmed and presumed dead. The few survivors flee and drop off Travis back at the neighborhood, to his disappointment. Travis soon learns that Daniel abducted and tortured Adams into revealing several important pieces of information, including the location of the military compound, as well as the presence of a nearby sports arena where the military locked over two thousand civilians inside, resulting in a massive horde of the undead. Though Travis is initially horrified to hear that Daniel tortured him, Daniel interrupts by telling him that Adams also revealed what the commonly-used codeword "cobalt" means: in the morning, all civilians will be killed by the guardsmen, and the guardsmen will evacuate the city. Travis and the others immediately begin plotting to escape before the morning. Later that evening, Daniel investigates the sports arena, where he confirms Adams' story and discovers it to be sealed shut and containing thousands of reanimated corpses.

After Daniel confirmed Adams' claims about the massive sports arena filled with the undead, the group packs up their belongings and leaves the neighborhood, planning to drive to the nearby National Guard compound to rescue Liza, Griselda, and Nick. Before leaving, Daniel and Travis debate over whether or not they should let Adams free, with Daniel believing that he would serve as a threat and should instead be executed. Travis convinces the others to let Adams live, but shortly before leaving, Adams convinces Travis to let him go free, after giving him instructions on where to find everyone in the compound. Upon arriving at the compound, Daniel distracts the guards by releasing the horde of walkers from the arena and leading them to the front gates, causing a panic amongst the guards and allowing the rest of the group to enter the compound. Travis, Madison, Daniel, and Ofelia go inside, while Alicia and Chris wait by the exit in the vehicles. Shortly after the others leave, however, several National Guards troops arrive and threaten Chris and Alicia into giving them the keys to one of their vehicles; Chris and Alicia are unharmed but the troops steal the group's SUV.

Outside, the undead breach the perimeter defenses and swarm the building. As the Guardsmen evacuate the compound, Strand and Nick escape from their holding cells using a key that Strand stole from one of the guards. Other detainees beg to be released, and Nick tries to convince Strand to help them, but he refuses, and the two of them attempt to escape the building. Strand tells Nick that they will be heading west to a house he owns by the ocean, where they will meet with someone he calls "Abigail". Shortly afterwards, Travis' group reaches the holding cells, but find that Nick is nowhere to be found; they release the other detainees, who point them in the direction that Nick went. Following those directions, Travis' group reunites with Nick and meets Strand; they also reunite with Liza, who had been trying to find an exit as well. The group tries to escape through the medical ward, where they discover that Dr. Exner has euthanized all of the patients after the evacuation teams left them behind. She tells them of an escape route into the building's sublevels, and though they offer to bring her with them, she opts to stay behind, presumably committing suicide. The group follows her directions and reaches the area where the vehicles were parked, but before they can escape, a vengeful Adams approaches, threatening the group with a handgun and shooting Ofelia in the arm. Enraged, Travis brutally beats Adams and leaves him for dead.

The group gets into their vehicles and drives away. Strand directs the group to his oceanside mansion, where he reveals to Nick that "Abigail" is actually his yacht, which he plans to use to flee the area. Meanwhile, on the beach, Liza reveals to Madison that she had been bitten during the escape, and pleads with Madison to euthanize her using a handgun. Before Madison is able to do it, Travis arrives, and Liza tearfully explains to him that she was bitten and that the infection cannot be treated. She asks Travis to put her down, and Madison hands him the pistol; Travis promises that he will keep Chris safe, before tearfully shooting Liza.

The short is essentially a spot gag cartoon with nursery rhymes. The cartoon is narrated by Robert C. Bruce.

The first nursery rhyme is Mary, Mary Quite Contrary as played by Katharine Hepburn. The narrator speaks the first line of the rhyme: ''"Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary----how does your garden grow?"'' to which Mary replies ''"I'm terribly sorry, but confidentially, it stinks."'' (a reference to a line from the 1938 comedy film ''You Can't Take It with You''). It is then revealed that the garden is full of litter, trash and filth

The page turns to Humpty Dumpty. Humpty, like the rhyme says, falls off the wall and appears unharmed. However, when he gets up it is revealed that the part where his butt cheeks are at are cracked.

The next page shows Jack and Jill as teen sweethearts. As the narrator recites the rhyme, Jack and Jill go behind the well. The narrator is stumped and repeats ''"to fetch a pail of water"'' but nothing happens. The narrator does it again and Jack comes down with lipstick kiss marks on his face and says ''"The heck with the water"'' and runs back behind the well.

In the next scene, the rhyme is Little Miss Muffet. As the spider prepares to pounce on Little Miss Muffet, her unpreposessing looks frighten the arachnid off.

The scene is moved along to The Three Little Pigs. The pigs scurry into the house and the Big Bad Wolf. As the Wolf starts to blow the house down, one of the pigs opens the door and hands him a bottle of Histerine (a parody of Listerine). The wolf, now upset, yells ''"Why don't some of my best friends tell me these things!"'' and takes a dose of the mouth rinse.

The next scene involves the Parade of Wooden Soldiers. The narrator compliments the uniform marching but it is soon revealed that they are walking rather sloppily and are all wobbly.

It then takes the story to Star Light, Star Bright with a dog that wishes for a tree. The next rhyme is Jack Be Nimble as Jack jumps over the candlestick. He then brags ''"Aww, there's nothin' to it. Just fast. Speedy, that's me. Flames didn't even touch me"''. As Jack turns and walks away his butt has actually been burned by the candle.

The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe struggles to take care of her kids and the camera then pans over to her husband who is sitting in a chair relaxing while reading a newspaper as the song "What's The Matter with Father" plays in the background.

The next scene features ''Little Hiawatha''. Hiawatha then shoots his arrow into the air like the poem implies. Soon an eagle lands next to Hiawatha and returns his arrow that apparently hit him in the tail feather.

The final rhyme in the short is The Night Before Christmas. Inside a house two mice are apparently still stirring. The first mouse whispers, ''"Merry Christmas"''. The other mouse then angrily yells, ''"QUIET!"'' ending the cartoon with the embarrassed mouse.

When Fred Flintstone goes bowling, he leaves Dino in charge of keeping their Saber Tooth Cat outside the house. Although Dino tries his best, the Saber Tooth Cat keeps coming back inside and outwit Dino at every turn; disguising himself as Santa Claus, a baby, and a tiger skinned rug. When Fred comes back inside the house, he scolds Dino because of his poor ideas of keeping the cat out of the house. When Dino tells him what the cat has done through gestures, Fred does not buy Dino's excuse. He drags Dino to the shed, telling him, "If you have had put the cat in the shed, HE WOULD STILL BE IN THE SHED! BUT THERE IS NO CAT IN THIS SHED!".

Fred opens the door of the shed, only to find out that there are many more cats inside. They yell at Fred to shut the door. After complying and acting apologetic, Fred loses his temper, opens the door, and yells at all of them to leave. The Saber Tooth Cat notes "What can I say? I got a big family." Fred then shows Dino the steps for keeping the Saber Tooth Cat out of the house one more time. Afterward, the Saber Tooth Cat manages to lock Fred and Dino out. The cat then taunts Fred at the window, locks the window and goes to sleep in Dino's bed. Meanwhile, Fred screaming at the door; ordering the cat to let him in, with Dino eventually joining him.

In the Old West, cowhands Clay Brent and Tex Roberts work for rancher Tom Raines. Clay competes with bar owner Ace Cain for the affections of Judy Ware, who has no interest in Ace.

To get Clay out of his way, Ace and his henchmen, Cutter Smith and Buck McGovern, falsely accuse Clay of a stagecoach holdup. Ace kills the driver and the guard (one of whom is the sheriff's brother) and steals its gold coins. Cutter and Buck report Clay is responsible for the murder and robbery. Clay is convicted and sentenced to 10 years in state prison. A model prisoner, Clay is paroled after 5 years, and returns to his old job with Tom where Clay is reunited with his horse, Smokey, who had run off. Clay reports to the sheriff who seizes his guns, telling Clay "empty holsters" is a condition of his parole.

Clay's father, who runs a saddle shop, tells Clay that Ace Cain owns "just about everything" in town and Tex has now joined up with his gang. Clay notices that a saddle his father was making for Ace has a gold coin woven into the leather that matches the gold coins stolen from the stage robbery. Clay goes to Judy's house where he overhears an argument between Ace and Judy in which Ace threatens Judy and her father. Clay intervenes and a fight ensues. Clay kicks Ace out of the house, but Ace learns of Clay's discovery of the stolen coins.

Ace returns to his office and instructs Cutter to ambush Clay. During a skirmish, Smokey attacks Cutter, who injures his arm. Ace falsely tells the sheriff that Clay provoked the fight with Cutter and that the coins in Mr. Brent's possession are evidence of Mr. Brent's complicity in the robbery. The gang contacts U.S. Marshal Billy O'Neill and falsely accuse Clay. O'Neill arrests Clay for violating his parole. Tex arrives, knocks O'Neill unconscious and frees Clay, explaining that although he is in Ace's gang, he no longer follows him.

Clay visits Cutter at the doctor's office and leverages Cutter's injury to force him into confessing that Ace committed both murders and the robbery of the gold coins. The sheriff musters a posse to find Clay. While the sheriff is away, Ace plans to steal all the money in town and skip out. Tex reports the plan to Clay who hurries to John Ware's bank. The sheriff goes to Tom's ranch searching for Clay and Tex. Tex arrives and explains to the sheriff that Clay is innocent. The sheriff's posse and Tom's hands ride off with Tex to find Ace. Ace and his gang begin their assault, starting with John Ware's bank, where Judy and her father are hiding Clay. Clay breaks cover and a gunfight ensues inside the bank. The posse arrives to subdue Ace and his men. The sheriff tells Clay he can have his guns back. Clay and Judy ride off as Clay sings "The Prairie Is My Home."

Pop Lane, his daughter Flip, con men Nick and The Deacon, and wheeler-dealer Joe Taylor are grifters running a failed carnival concession in New York. They scheme to stage a scam public wedding, with Flip as the bride, Nick as the groom, and The Deacon as the judge, but the con men abscond with the gate receipts. Confronted with a restless audience eager for their money's worth, Pop enlists "starving artist" Tony Burke as a stand-in. The "wedding" is a great success but to the surprise of all, the "judge" performing the ceremony is a real justice of the peace, and Flip and Tony find themselves actually married. Flip angrily walks out on Pop, impressing Tony, who takes her to his studio above a stable and suggests that their marriage might be a good idea after all. The penniless Pop and Joe track them down and Tony agrees to put them up for a night.

The next morning Pop and Joe try to hock Flip's wedding dress but instead hit up fan dancer Tessie Schultz for a loan after rescuing her from a police raid. The wedding dress gives Joe the idea to promote Tessie as stripper "Lillith Love" by having her pretend to be an amnesiac bride who attempted suicide after being left at the altar. In the meantime, Flip tries to peddle Tony's paintings without success because he has no reputation. The publicity about Joe's stunt prompts Flip to get people talking about Tony by foisting him off as the groom who "placed Art before Love." Society matrons clamor for portraits but nothing is happening for Pop, Joe and Tessie. Because Flip took advantage of their set-up, they demand that she cut them in on the profits.

When Tony learns about Flip's manipulations, he is furious. But realizing that they love each other, however, he agrees to try the marriage if Flip will let him be the boss. Tony plans to clean his financial success of its "larcenous taint" by endowing a fellowship to send deserving young artists to Europe to learn their craft without financial struggle. He offers Pop and the others a check for $1,000 to get out of town. Pop uses the check as a prop to pretend to raise donations as treasurer of the "Anthony Burke Traveling Fellowship, Ltd.", bilking New York society into donating. Flip discovers the racket just after fake fellowship has withdrawn all its funds from the bank in cash.

Tony is arrested for obtaining money on false pretenses, and Flip pursues Pop, Joe and Tessie to the airport. She discovers that the serial numbers of the cash are consecutive. She convinces them the money is hot and to give it to her since they will be arrested if they are caught with it. Before they can leave the airport, though, they are nabbed by the victim of one of their earlier schemes. Flip redeposits the money in an irrevocable trust to be used for its real purpose, and shows the police the deposit slip to gain Tony's release. Tessie visits Pop in jail with the "wonderful romantic news" that Flip and Tony have sailed to Europe for their honeymoon.

When a fire breaks out in a run-down tenement in New York City, a young boy named Joey Rogers (Sidney Lumet) attempts to flee using a fire escape. It collapses due to ill repair, and Joey is severely injured. Joey's much older sister, Mary (Sylvia Sidney), rushes him to the hospital with the help of wealthy Peter Cortlant (Leif Erickson), who pays for Joey's medical bills on the spot. Cortlant is told by his business manager (Percy Waram) that he owns the building where the fire occurred.

The local district attorney investigates the fire, and tells Mary that the tenement's age means it was exempt from modern building safety codes. Since no tenants complained about the building before the fire, no crime has been committed. When Cortlant visits the tenement, he is warned to stay away from Mary by Mary's boyfriend, Sam (Myron McCormick).

Mary is upset when she learns that Cortlant owned her building. She removes Joey from the hospital. Crippled and suffering from delusions that the building is talking to him, Joey vows revenge on the tenement. Mary meets with Cortlant, and convinces him to turn his decrepit tenements into public housing and rebuild them. Appalled at the cost, Cortlant's sister, Ethel (Muriel Hutchison), tries to blackmail Cortlant into stopping the project by telling the press that he's having an affair with Mary.

Joey dies after setting fire to the tenement. Sam tells Cortlant that he will marry Mary to avoid scandal, which allows Cortlant to proceed with his plan.

Meanwhile, back home in Grand Rapids, Stephanie's dad Ned (Cranston) is celebrating his 55th birthday with friends and family at an Applebee's restaurant. During a slideshow presentation in his honor, Stephanie drops in via webcam to congratulate him, when suddenly her boyfriend walks in on her and flashes the camera.

Stephanie drives her family – parents Ned and Barb (Mullally) and younger brother Scotty (Gluck) – to Laird's villa to meet him. She explains to Ned that Laird is the CEO of a video game company, which has made him extremely wealthy. Laird gives the family a tour of his house, complete with curse words and inappropriate comments about Barb. He then reveals a large tattoo of the Flemings' Christmas card on his back, complete with "Happy Holidays" written underneath. In the living room is a tank with a moose filled completely with its urine. The basement has a bowling alley that Laird built with a mural of Ned, posed in a "crotch-chop" position.

Ned talks to Stephanie about Laird's behavior and she asks him to give him a chance. Later, Laird invites Ned to go for a walk in the woods outside his house and asks Ned for his blessing to propose to Stephanie to marry him. Ned is quick to say no, which completely blindsides Laird, who had been confident that Ned would say yes. Laird promises to win him over.

As the family gathers in Laird's living room for a Christmas party, Laird reveals that he bought Ned's struggling printing company as a gift to remove all his debts. Instead of expressing gratitude, Ned punches Laird in the face and they begin to fight. Stephanie and Barb are both angry at the partner's behavior, and the family leaves Laird's home.

However, Stephanie declines the proposal saying she is not ready to get married, but she wants them to continue dating.

Later during the party, Ned and Scotty approach Laird for a new business idea, since they are all part of the same company now. Scotty says they should sell the same toilets Laird has in his home since they would be very profitable. Laird likes the idea and agrees. The couples then dance together as music plays, with Ned referring to Laird as "son".

Scotty, Ned, and Laird eventually turn the printing company into a toilet factory and become a profitable company. Stephanie uses the Fleming-Mayhew conglomerate to help underdeveloped countries with their sewage projects. Finally, Laird has what he always wanted, to be part of a family.

Matteo Falcone is a successful Corsican, who lives with his wife Giuseppa and 10-year-old son Fortunato. One day he leaves home with Giuseppa, leaving Fortunato alone. Suddenly, a wounded bandit chased by soldiers arrives and introduces himself as Gianetto Sanpiero. He expects asylum in Matteo Falcone's house. Fortunato at first declines to hide Gianetto, but when the bandit offers a piece of silver, the boy conceals him beneath the hay.

Soldiers led by sergeant Gamba, arrive and wants to know whether Fortunato has seen a man on the trail. Fortunato evades Gamba's questions, and the sergeant suspects that the boy is in complicity with Gianetto. He threatens to beat Fortunato, but the boy only replies that he is Matteo Falcone's son, and the sergeant understands that he dare not harm Fortunato for fear of angering the father. The soldiers search the property but find nothing.

Finally, Gamba attempts to bribe Fortunato with a shiny new watch. As Gamba speaks he brings the watch closer and closer until it is almost touching Fortunato's pale cheek. The child's face clearly shows the struggle between cupidity and the claims of hospitality that is raging within him. The temptation is too great. Fortunato accepts the bribe and silently nods in the direction of the haystack. The soldiers discover Gianetto, who curses the boy. Fortunato throws the silver back at Gianetto. On their way back Matteo and Giuseppa encounter Gamba, who tells him everything. Realizing what has happened, Matteo hears the captured Gianetto Sanpiero's words "Betrayer's father".

At home, Matteo sees Fortunato play with the new watch and says there has never been a betrayer in his family. After these words he takes his boy into the high country. As Matteo and Fortunato climb into the mountains, Giuseppa prays inside the house to an icon of the Virgin Mary. In a ravine, Matteo commands Fortunato to kneel and say his prayers. When he finishes praying, Fortunato begs for mercy, but Matteo gives none. He raises his rifle and shoots.

The Commune is an improv troupe in New York headed by Miles (Birbiglia). Other members include Jack, a talented improviser with a tendency to grandstand; Sam, his insecure girlfriend who acts as the group's emcee; Allison, who has been working on a graphic novel for years; Lindsay, who lives off of her wealthy parents; and Bill, who loves improv but feels increasingly unsuccessful. One night, the group learns that staff from ''Weekend Live'', a ''Saturday Night Live''-style sketch comedy show, are attending a performance. Miles is excited for another chance to audition for the show, having auditioned and not been selected years ago. However, Jack ends up grandstanding during the performance, much to the anger of the rest of the group.

Following the performance, Jack receives a phone call informing him that he and Sam are being invited to audition. Jack attends the audition, but Sam loses her nerve at the last minute and does not. Jack is selected as a new cast member, and his friends begin asking about the possibility of joining the writing staff, or having Jack arrange auditions for them. Meanwhile, Bill's father is in a serious motorcycle accident and the group travels to Philadelphia to visit him in the hospital.

Jack finds success at ''Weekend Live'' playing an old-timey ticket taker in a sketch, but finds the pressure of the show difficult to manage. The Commune sees an uptick in its audience, but they are mostly there to see Jack and his ticket taker character rather than the rest of the performers. With their theater space closing, the group decides to hold a show at a new space, but the ticket price discourages audiences from attending and they fail to recoup their investment.

The group gathers to watch ''Weekend Live'' and discovers Jack performing a sketch they had improvised at a prior Commune show. Infuriated, the group crashes the after party. Miles confronts Jack and punches him before being thrown out. When he then confronts Lindsay for failing to support him, she reveals that she has been hired by the show and did not want to embarrass herself in front of her new co workers. Embittered by this revelation, Miles, Allison, and Bill storm off.

At the final Commune show, Sam stands on stage alone and asks her usual opening question "Has anyone had a particularly bad day?" When an audience member suggests that Sam herself looks like she's had a bad day, she agrees and launches into a solo improv where she is trapped at the bottom of a well while her other castmates cannot decide how to help her. Jack arrives and joins the scene, promising that he will not abandon her. But Sam tells him that she is happy in the well and she knows and accepts that their relationship is over.

Eight months later, Jack and Lindsay continue to enjoy success performing and writing for ''Weekend Live''. Miles is in a long-term relationship with an old flame from high school, and Sam, Bill, and Allison are starting a new improv group and looking for local talent. The group reunite for Bill's father's funeral. Despite their conflict, the group has remained friends.

''Okhlos'' is set in ancient Greece, where the land is ruled by the Olympian gods, who are highly praised by the people. However, the game's protagonist, an unnamed philosopher, is critical about their behaviour, as they show no signs of interest in the human well-being. But, when the philosopher suddenly witnesses, how the School of Athens is bruised down by one of the gods' foot (parodying The Foot of Cupid), killing almost everyone inside, he decides to take action. Going from city to city, he convinces the people that the gods are no good for mankind, as they turn people into animals, impregnate women and kill innocents, and recruits them to form a giant mob. As the mob grows, the philosopher continues executing his plan to overthrow the gods, kill their minions, and form an ochlocracy, while his mob destroys everything standing in their way.

The story begins at the end of the 19th century, when a Russian officer seduces a Georgian shepherd’s wife: the resulting bastard, the ancestor of the novel's anti-heroes, is kept in a basket where he cannot interfere with his mother’s adultery. The shepherd avenges himself by murdering his wife and disemboweling himself, but fails to kill the boy in the basket. The boy, Razhden Kasheli, later rapes his foster-mother, before disappearing to become a robber and murderer, returning to Georgia with the Red Army and a female tramp he has married; he becomes a killer for the Soviet authorities. After he is murdered by a drunken Assyrian, his son Anton acts as a GPU and NKVD killer in the Great Terror of 1937-8, shooting countless victims. Anton’s great achievement is to marry Princess Ketusi, whose father and husband he has murdered, thus initiating the process, fatal for Georgian society, of intermarrying and interbreeding Soviet killers with Georgian aristocrats and intellectuals. Anton is killed by a runaway truck in 1949, but his son Razhden 2nd takes over as an important Soviet official. Razhden’s son Anton second may not, however, be a real Kasheli, since his mother Pepe was pregnant before his parents married. Anton is a childish dreamer and, manipulated by Razhden 2nd, marries Liziko, the daughter of an unworldly writer, Elizbar. Razhden seduces Liziko; both Anton and Elizbar find out after Liziko confesses to her stepmother. More important even than these violent sexual and homicidal events are the author’s and character’s reflections on the irrecoverable degradation of the country.

Dr. Jan Żabiński is director of the Warsaw Zoo, one of the largest in 1930s Europe, assisted by his wife, Antonina.

On 1 September 1939, the aerial bombardment of Warsaw and Invasion of Poland commences. Antonina and her son Ryszard barely survive. Dr. Lutz Heck, head of the Berlin Zoo and Adolf Hitler's chief zoologist and Jan's professional rival, visits the zoo while Jan is away; as Hitler's chief zoologist he's to run the Warsaw Zoo. Offering to house their prized animals in Berlin until after the war, he then returns with soldiers to shoot the others, revealing his hidden brutality. He becomes infatuated with Antonina.

Warsaw jews are forced into the Ghetto. The Żabińskis' Jewish friends, Maurycy Fraenkel and his partner Magda Gross, seek a safe place for a friend's insect collection. Antonina then offers to shelter Magda. Despite the risk, Jan and Antonina use the zoo to hide others and save more lives.

They propose Heck turn the abandoned zoo into a pig farm, to feed the occupying forces, secretly hoping to sneak people out of the Ghetto. Heck, wanting a new site for his experiments in recreating aurochs as a symbol of the Reich, agrees.

When Jan collects garbage inside the Ghetto, he also hides people in the trucks, to bring them to the zoo, working with the Underground Army to later transport them to safehouses throughout the country. Jews are hidden in the zoo's cages, tunnels, and inside the Żabińskis’ house. When Antonina plays the piano late at night, it means it is safe to come out of hiding. But if it is played in the daytime, they must hide. Jan also rescues a young girl, Urszula, who was raped by German soldiers. Antonina takes a particular interest in her, treating her the same way she would treat a frightened animal, until she emerges to join other "guests" in the Zabinskis' home.

In 1942, Germans begin transporting Jews to death camps. At a loading station, Jan tries to convince Janusz Korczak, head of the Jewish children's orphanage, to escape with him, but he will not leave the children. Jan has no choice but to help load children into the cattle cars bound for the death camps. Becoming aware of Heck's obvious feelings for his wife, a rift begins to form between the couple.

In 1943, two women rescued by Jan and disguised as Aryans by Antonina are discovered and executed outside their boarding house. Several months later, after the failed uprising, Germans liquidate the Ghetto on Hitler's birthday, also the first night of Passover. While hidden Jews mournfully celebrate a secret Passover Seder, the Germans burn down the Ghetto.

Jan decides to join the Warsaw Uprising, and the couple reconciles before he leaves. Antonina later gives birth to a baby girl, Teresa. During the uprising, Jan is shot and captured, presumed dead. As Heck's attraction to Antonina intensifies, she struggles to fend him off while guarding the secret "guests." Visiting the house unexpectedly, Heck finds Ryzard, questioning the boy about his parents' whereabouts, but is unable to get any information. In growing suspicion and rage, Heck pins the Nazi cross onto the boy's shirt, goading him to say "Heil Hitler." As he leaves, Ryszard cries out "Hitler is kaput!"

In January 1945, as Soviet troops force the Germans to retreat, evacuation of Warsaw begins. Desperate to know of Jan, Antonina seeks Heck's help. When he asks what he will get in return, she begins to undress, though she obviously can't bear him. Increasingly sure of her deceit, Heck almost rapes her, she finally confesses that he disgusts her, and he begins to realize how much she has lied. Calling for his car to go to the zoo, Antonina races home and helps her guests escape, just as Heck arrives. Magda takes baby Teresa with her, but Ryszard insists on staying, so Antonina hides him.

Heck enters the house in fury, discovering the basement drawings: Stars of David, dates, and guests drawn with animal faces. When he finds Ryszard, he chases him through the animal tunnels, catching him at gunpoint. Locking Antonina in a cage, he ignores her pleas as he drags the boy out of eyesight. When a shot rings out, she collapses in grief. A moment later, Heck walks back to his car, leaving the zoo for good. Ryszard returns to her side, unharmed. The two join the march out of Warsaw.

Warsaw began rebuilding four months after the Nazi surrender. Antonina and the children return to the damaged zoo, along with Jerzyk, their loyal zookeeper. Jan returns home, having survived a prison camp. They paint Stars of David on all the cages in the zoo.

In the postscript: the Żabińskis saved 300 Jews. Heck's zoo in Berlin was destroyed by Allied bombings, and he never recreated aurochs. The Żabińskis were recognized by Israel (Yad Vashem) for their righteous acts and defiance against the Germans. They rebuilt the present day Warsaw Zoo.

Dr. Peter Newmans (Johnny Simmons) is a 30-year-old sex therapist who lives a quiet life alone, silently crushing on his pretty neighbour, Michelle (Brittany Snow). He is known for being a very non-sexual person, and has written a book about how sex is not a necessity.

Michelle breaks up with her workaholic boyfriend, and Peter takes the opportunity to comfort her. In her vulnerability, she kisses him. Suddenly he gets a really bad headache and has to leave. Around that time he had been getting a few really bad migraines but the reason is not revealed until later.

The next morning, he is persuaded by his friends (Kumail Nanjiani and Beck Bennett) to join them at their weekend basketball game, where he is hit in the groin and falls to the ground. He attends an emergency room, where his friends say he may have hit his head, so the doctor orders a head CT scan, followed by an MRI.

During his initial physical examination, the doctor has noticed Peter's under-developed testicles, and becomes increasingly concerned. It is discovered he has a long-term benign brain tumor pressed against his pituitary gland, which has caused prolactin to be released into his system while suppressing his testosterone production. This means that he has never transitioned to puberty.

Elated to learn that he is not a "freak", Peter insists that a procedure be undertaken immediately to remove the tumor. After a successful excision, he stays with his parents (J. K. Simmons and Maria Bello) to recover. A little later, he wakes with his first erection, signalling his transition into puberty.

He is forced to come to terms with his situation, and has a heart-to-heart with his father over what it means to "be a man". Reflecting on his anti-sex book, Peter concludes that a person should have all the (consensual) sex possible, and society should cease to sex-shame individuals because "it's awesome". Peter eventually apologizes to Michelle, who becomes pregnant with his child. He writes a book for teenage boys about how to become proper men, and he and Michelle live happily ever after.

Kristian survives but finds Anna next to him dead, impaled by debris. Finding Julia alive, he leaves her with Thomas and Teresa while he heads back to Geiranger to find his wife and son. The town is devastated, and the destroyed evacuation bus full of dead passengers including Vibeke but not Idun and Sondre. Down in the bomb shelter, the water level rises, deforming the door which is blocked by heavy debris. Philip, panicking to breathe, pushes Sondre underwater. Idun drowns him to save Sondre.

Kristian finds his son's backpack and furiously bangs on some pipes. Idun and Sondre respond in kind. As Kristian finds them and dives, further water floods the refuge. Removing the debris he reunites with Idun but runs out of air as he returns with Sondre. Idun heads back in a desperate attempt to revive him, but then accepts he has drowned. Sondre gives one last effort which pays off. The family is reunited at Ørnesvingen, and the film closes saying the events are likely to occur in the future, but the date is unpredictable.

Lena is a bright, disabled girl with myopathy who must use a wheelchair to get around. After years being homeschooled by her protective mother, she is keen to get back to school. She is assigned to a special class for physically and psychologically disabled students who have to present themselves before a school commission at the end of the year in order to prove that they merit being moved back into a "normal" class. There she meets a group of students; Mishka, brother and sister Mitka and Vitka, Olya, and Anton. Though initially appearing to be her friends, they quickly display high degrees of callousness when they treat it as a joke when one of their classmates is killed trying to lie beneath a moving train, an activity the group indulges in out of boredom. Their teachers, meanwhile, treat the corrections class with contempt and show absolutely no desire to motivate the students or help them improve.

Anton, however, treats Lena with kindness, and the two soon begin a relationship. Lena admonishes the group for their behavior and urges them to concentrate on passing the commission so they can get back to normal school. Lena and Anton's relationship, however, upsets the rest of the group, particularly Mishka, who concocts a plan with the rest of the group to have sex with Lena. After stealing her wheelchair, they separate her from Anton, and Mishka and Mitka attempt to rape Lena while Vitka and Olya shoot video on their phones. However, they find they cannot complete the act, and leave her beaten and bruised on the side of the train tracks.

Four reporters, Mat, Dud, Mugsy and Pete, decides to play a practical joke on her and conspire to fake the murder of an actor; for the dual purpose of blocking Steve's marriage to Torchy, and at the same time making her the laughing stock of all newspaper. The reporters hire an actor to play dead and phone Steve with the news. They hope that Torchy will report the death and that a second paper owned by publisher Mortimer Gray (Charles C.

Seeing her a second time in a blessing hall in a temple he strikes up a conversation with her. Recognizing his name after he introduces himself she agrees to go with him to a coffee shop. There she talks about how she used to work as a model but found it empty and uninteresting despite making good money. She currently works as a painter. As he has arrived a day early and has nothing else to do, Cheon-soo goes with Yoon Heejung to her studio and watches her paint. Afterwards he takes her out for sushi and they get drunk on soju. Cheon-soo tells Heejung he appreciates her as a woman and the two flirt. Cheon-soo tells Heejung he likes her as a friend and then as more than a friend. He drunkenly digs through his pockets searching for a ring he can give her but Heejung becomes morose telling him that she doesn't have any friends. Cheon-soo goes out for a smoke and Heejung remembers that she has a small gathering to go to for her friend's birthday. She asks Cheon-soo to accompany her and he does.

The evening goes sour however when Heejung tells her friends how touched she was by the things that Cheon-soo told her about her painting in the gallery and her friend reveals that he has said many similar things in interviews. She also brings up his reputation as a womanizer and the fact that he is married, which he confirms. Heejung goes to lie down to sleep off being drunk. When Cheon-soo tries to approach her again she tells him to leave. Going home her mother berates her for being drunk.

At the screening the following day Cheon-soo is hung-over and acts angry and erratic at the post-film discussion. A friend of Heejung's arrives and gives him a book of her own writing. Cheon-soo leaves to go back to Seoul.

Part 2

The day begins over again. Cheon-soo again goes to the temple where he sees Heejung and introduces himself. At the coffee shop he asks her about her life and she tells him she lives with her mother and never sees her father since he divorced her mother and moved to Seoul.

Cheon-soo goes to Heejung's atelier where he tells her that she paints with confidence but it seems like the painting was made for her alone. He tells her she needs to be bolder with her choices but that the quality of the painting is there. Heejung is outraged that he was so insulting about her painting. To escape her anger Cheon-soo goes out for a smoke. Heejung leads him to the rooftop where she points to where her home is.

At the sushi restaurant, Cheon-soo goes for a smoke earlier and then comes back. He tells Heejung she is beautiful and she asks if he is a womanizer. She then asks him why he had said that she seemed sad from her painting, and he tells her that she projects that aura. She confides in him that she has no friends and he tells her that it's alright, that's probably just the way she is. Cheon-soo then tells Heejung he loves her and wants to marry her but can't as he's married with two children. He begins to cry. Heejung tells him she feels sad and wishes they met at an earlier time. Cheon-soo gives her a ring that he found on the street and Heejung calls it their wedding ring. Heejung again invites him to meet her friends.

At the gathering her friends are more receptive and find Cheon-soo kind and unlike his reputation. Encouraged to drink by Heejung's friends he briefly passes out and plays it off as a bit of play-acting. He then begins drunkenly taking off his clothes, much to their alarm.

Cheon-soo goes to wake up Heejung and tells her he wants to leave. Though she is initially reluctant to do so for fear of what it will look like she eventually decides to go. Walking home she receives a call from her mother who asks her where she is and tells her that Cheon-soo stripped in front of her friends which she finds hilarious.

Cheon-soo walks her home but asks her to come back out so they can continue talking. Heejung promises to do so and gives him a kiss on the cheek before her mother comes out and she goes inside. Cheon-soo stays outside smoking hoping she will come out again before eventually giving up.

The screening for his film goes well and Cheon-soo stays outside talking with the moderator and an assistant director. Heejung comes out to speak with him and the two wish each other well before she heads back inside to see the rest of the film festival. Before leaving Cheon-soo goes back to the theatre to say goodbye to her and she tells him that she'll watch all of his films from now on.

Jack Unterweger, who grew up in a red-light district and who was previously known to the police for petty theft, is arrested for the murder of a woman, found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. While incarcerated, he begins to write, which attracts a following of several intellectuals. After about 15 years, he is granted parole, in great part due to the advocacy of his famous supporters. He soon becomes a heartthrob present at events, and a guest in television programs. He writes his first successful novel. He appears to be the model of rehabilitation after prison.

Lieutenant Steve McBride (Barton MacLane) is in trouble with his boss, Captain McTavish, who suspects him of leaking police information to his girlfriend reporter Torchy Blane (Glenda Farrell), which has resulted in complaints to the police department from rival newspapers. Torchy and Steve have an argument about this, and they agree that they will not exchange information about any police cases in the future. And Torchy is told by her boyfriend to lay off the latest murder case that he’s handling; the killing of Marvin Spencer, the heir to the Bon Ton department store. Marvin was seen by Torchy being escorted into a cab by his friend Maitland Greer (Donald Briggs) shortly before he was found dead in his room at the Park Plaza Hotel.

With Torchy's latest story of Marvin's murder hitting the front page of the newspaper, McBride's boss Capt. McTavish (Frank Shannon) orders him to keep information away from Torchy. Capt. McTavish isn't really concerned about Torchy getting her hands on top-secret police information, he is secretly working for Torchy's rival newspaper, ''The Daily Express'', which wants Torchy's access to top-secret police investigations cut off. Maitland is arrested for Marvin's murder. Torchy finds a clue which leads her to Louisa Revelle (Rosella Towne), the woman who was with Marvin the night he was stabbed. She admits to Torchy that Maitland was present that night and is upset with his arrest for murder, but will not reveal any more information. Torchy decides to eavesdrop on the trial's jury from a nearby supply closet. She overhears the jury's decision to declare Maitland guilty, and out-maneuvers both Capt. McTavish and the ''Daily Express'' into thinking that the jury’s verdict is going to be “Not Guilty”. To their surprise, Maitland is found guilty, leaving the newspaper's editor red-faced.

At the same time, Torchy breaks the story in an extra edition in her own newspaper, before the verdict is announced in court. However, the judge sentences her to jail for contempt. Steve visits Torchy a few days later and has her released from jail. He informs her that after the verdict was announced, Louisa confessed to the crime; she stabbed Marvin when he threatened to shoot Maitland, who had become her new lover. Steve says that it looks like self-defense and speculates that both Louisa and Maitland will be cleared. Torchy is disappointed because she didn't have time to write the story and have it make the front page. Steve tells her that he filed the story for her, before the other newspapers and once again Torchy scoops them all.

The film begins with Lucía, a young woman, returning to her village after nine years. The year is 1944, and Francisco Franco has already won the war. Lucía explains that she has to come back - supposedly to earn money - because her mother has five other children. We get to know Teresa, Sebas, Manuel, and Hilario, who has just returned from jail. We can also see the soldiers' office, which has the phrase “Todo por la patria” (All for the Fatherland) painted above the door. After arriving, Lucía lives with Teresa and starts working at her bar.

From the first frame, you can see the oppression that the soldiers exert on the town. In one scene, the sergeant orders Sebas to drink a whole bottle of castor oil because he has said a curse word. Soon after, the Boss's wife (Sole) runs to tell Lucía and Teresa that the soldiers are coming for Manuel. Manuel runs to the mountains to join the maquis (the rebels who live there), so instead of him, the soldiers punish Rosario, her mother. After that, Lucía brings Genaro some papers to the mountains to help the rebels, and her relationship with Manuel becomes romantic again.

The seasons change, and 1946 begins. The rebels invade the church during mass and capture several soldiers. Matías goes to "talk" to Cosme, but insults him for being a Francoist. Lola explains that when she returned from the war, Cosme found out that Hilario and Teresa had lived together, and that is why she betrayed Hilario and Matías.

The rebels won and took the town, and everyone celebrates, but soon after more soldiers are coming and the rebels flee to the mountains again. The soldiers make everyone stand in the plaza while Alfredo indicates who the collaborators are, including Lola, but not Lucía. Some days later, Alfredo is killed while he is driving to pick up Lucía. Lucía is supposed to have planned it.

As punishment, the soldiers come to take Rosario, but she has already killed herself. Very soon after, Lucía says that she is pregnant, and Manuel says that his father has been killed by the rebels because he did not agree with them. Among all the death, Lucía decides to return to her mother's house to bear her daughter.

The seasons change again, and the winter of 1948 begins. Lucía returns, and discovers that Sebas has died, Hilario is hiding in the attic of her house (that of Cosme and Teresa), and Teresa is leaving food for the rebels. Lucía decides to see Manuel, and shows him photos of her daughter. Lucía has false documents so Manuel can leave, but Manuel doesn't want to. Suddenly, a group of rebels arrives with a spy who is killed in broad daylight. Lucía, stunned, runs back to the village.

The soldiers discover that Hilario was hiding in the attic, and Cosme lets them arrest Teresa, Hilario, and Lucía. While they are in jail, other soldiers arrive with Manuel and another maqui. The lieutenant asks the prisoners to give them the names of other maquis in exchange for a sentence reduction. Hilario elbows the lieutenant and tries to escape, but the guard at the door shoots him and kills him. The lieutenant sees that Lucía and Manuel have a relationship, and so he orders the soldiers to kill Manuel and Teresa, while Lucía can hear the shots.

Upon returning, Lucía tells Lola that she thinks she betrayed them, but Lola responds ambiguously. At last, Lucía leaves by bus, under a rainbow in the mountains.

The game is set on the fantasy world of Rivellon, centuries after ''Divinity: Original Sin''. Living beings on Rivellon have a form of energy known as Source, and individuals called Sourcerers can manipulate Source to cast spells or enhance their combat abilities. The Seven Gods of Rivellon had given up a portion of their collective Source power and infused it into a person, Lucian, known as the Divine, who used his powers to hold back the Void. However, Lucian died before the start of the game, which weakened the Veil between the Void and Rivellon, and monstrous creatures of the Void, guided by the God King, their dark deity, have begun to invade Rivellon. These Voidwoken are drawn to the use of Source, and so an organization called the Divine Order is persecuting Sourcerers.

At the start of the game, the player character, a Sourcerer, is captured by the Divine Order and sent to an island prison known as Fort Joy. On the way there, a gigantic Kraken Voidwoken attacks and sinks the ship, but the player character is saved by a mysterious voice, who calls the player "Godwoken".

On Fort Joy, the Godwoken witnesses the brutal regime of the Divine Order, led by Lucian's son Alexandar and his enforcer Dallis. Sourcerers at Fort Joy are "purged" of their Source, turning them into mindless husks. The Godwoken also learns of a tyrannical Sourcerer king called Braccus Rex, who had died around 1000 years ago. The Godwoken escapes the fortress and visits the Hall of Echoes, the realm of the Seven Gods, where they encounter one of the Seven. The God explains that they had rescued the Godwoken on the ship, and that the weakened Veil has allowed the Void to enter Rivellon, draining the Gods' powers. The God urges the Godwoken to become the next Divine and hold back the Void. The Godwoken then escapes from the island.

The Godwoken sails to the island of Reaper's Coast. There, they expand their Source powers. Encountering their God again, they are directed to the Well of Ascension, where they can absorb enough Source to become Divine. The Godwoken also learns that Dallis has excavated the Aeteran, an artifact able to purge Source infinitely. Additionally, the Godwoken meets Aeterna, an immortal being who claims to be a member of a race called Eternals, the original inhabitants of Rivellon. She explains that the Seven Gods were Eternals who craved power and betrayed the other Eternals, banishing them to the Void. The Seven then created the mortal races of Rivellon and maintain their own power by draining Source from them.

The Godwoken sails to the Nameless Isle where the Well of Ascension is located. There, they learn that the Eternals in the Void have become the Voidwoken, and the Eternals' former king has become the God King. The God King and the Voidwoken intend to return to Rivellon and reclaim it as theirs. The Godwoken reaches the Well but before they can become Divine, Dallis appears and destroys the Well with the Aeteran. The Godwoken's failure enrages their God, who attacks them, but the Godwoken defeats them.

The Godwoken pursues Dallis to the Tomb of Lucian, in the city of Arx, and finds Lucian alive within. Lucian reveals that he faked his death and hid in his tomb and that he, not the Void, has been draining Source from the Seven. Lucian intends to purge all Source from Rivellon and use it to permanently seal the Veil, to bring peace to the world. Dallis, secretly an Eternal, has been aiding Lucian. To this end, she has resurrected Braccus Rex, who has been serving Dallis as Vredeman.

Braccus Rex breaks free of Dallis's control and summons the Kraken to attack the Godwoken, Lucian, and Dallis. After Braccus Rex is defeated, the ending varies depending on player choice: the Godwoken can become the next Divine, purge all Source from Rivellon, release the Source and the powers of Divinity to the world, or allow the God King to return to Rivellon, restoring Eternal rule.

Bauer's driver finds his boss unconscious in the bathtub. He is taken to the hospital, while the police, politically motivated, suspected a suicide attempt. His opponents - especially Attorney General Kreidler and Paul Gebhardt of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) - triumph.

During Bauer's recovery, a file disappears from his office. He then cites the prosecutors and asks them about progress in the prosecution of Nazi criminals. However, the prosecutors can not show anything. The young prosecutor Karl Angermann reminds Bauer that he received the file in question with the request of him, Bauer, to draft a statement. Bauer gets the feeling that he can rely on the young man, and invites him to a meeting on the weekend to his home, because he imagines in his authority as "in the enemy country". Bauer wants to bring Adolf Eichmann from Argentina to a German court. However, since the BKA and Interpol are not responsible for political crimes, Bauer is considering engaging Israeli intelligence service Mossad.

With the receipt of a letter from Argentina, Bauer learns that Eichmann lives there under a different name. He passes on the letter to the Mossad and speaks in Israel as well. The Mossad boss Isser Harel already checked this trail, but wants Eichmann to be abducted only if Bauer has a second proof.

Angermann asks Bauer for advice on the sentence in a homosexual trial. After Bauer's reference to a similar process, Angermann then demands a sensationally low penalty. Victoria, a friend of the defendant, thanks Angermann and invites him to the nightclub "Kokett". Angermann falls in love with the woman, who turns out to be transgender. At the same time, the BKA has photos of sexual activities between them and tries to blackmail him with them.

When Bauer discovers that the former Nazi Schneider at Daimler-Benz works in the human resources department for South America, he puts pressure on him to obtain Eichmann's code name in Argentina. He directs this to the Mossad to confirm the first lane. Eichmann is abducted in the sequence in Argentina by the Mossad and abducted to Israel. Bauer's application for extradition of Eichmann is rejected by the federal government under Konrad Adenauer, as there are extensive arms deals between the FRG and Israel and is feared by possible statements of Eichmann in front of a German court, a government crisis, as many former Nazis are represented in the state apparatus up to the Cabinet.

Angermann cannot be blackmailed with the compromising photos and turns himself in for violating § 175. Bauer, who temporarily thought of giving up, then plunges into the Nazi investigation, which eventually leads to the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials.

Paco and Urko, two teenagers living in Bilbao in Spain, become best friends while attending the same academy. They come from different backgrounds. Paco has two younger sisters; his mother, Eulalia, is a traditional housewife; while his father, Evaristo Torrecuadrada, is a Civil Guard commander who holds right-wing views. Urko's parents are separated, and he lives with his father, Martín Aramendia, a leftist politician affiliated with one of the groups pushing for Basque autonomy. Unbeknown to their families, Paco and Urko are drug addicts. They hang out with Betty, a young Argentinian prostitute, who sleeps with both of them. In order to have the means to support their drug addiction, Betty puts them in contact with ' ' ("the lame one"), a drug dealer living in Barakaldo with his pregnant wife Pilar, who is also a heroin addict. El Cojo provides the two friends with drugs that they begin to sell. Paco also hangs out in secret with Mikel Orbea, a homosexual sculptor, who tries to warn him against the danger of using heavy drugs. Although Paco is heterosexual, he has had sex with Mikel in the past.

Evaristo Torrecuadrada is concerned about his wife, who is stricken with terminal ovarian cancer. He wishes that Paco would follow a military career, and as a gift for his son's eighteenth birthday, Torrecuadrada takes him to a bordello, but Paco arranges to be with Betty so the two lovers can keep the money for themselves. While returning home from buying medicines for his mother, Paco becomes a hero when he saves his father from an assassination attempt. However, Paco's life soon spirals out of control. His heavy drug use leads him to steal the morphine needed by his mother to relieve her pain. Confronted by his father about the disappearance of the medicines and the bloody marks on his arm, Paco confesses that he is a heroin addict. Paco's father is stunned. Father and son have an argument, and Paco flees the house. Mikel offers him shelter on condition that Paco stops using heavy drugs. Paco then goes into a painful withdrawal process.

Meanwhile, Paco's father wants to investigate who provided his son with drugs, while trying to locate Paco's whereabouts. He assigns Lieutenant Alcántara to the case. Alcántara uses rough methods to extract information from his sources. In this way, he comes to interrogate El Cojo and his wife. They have been police informants in the past and lead Alcántara to Urko, who tells about his and Paco's addiction and drug dealings. In spite of his political differences with Martín Aramendía, Torrecuadrada summons him, informing him about what has transpired with their sons. Urko tells his father that he thinks Paco might be hiding with Mikel.

When Commander Torrecuadrada finally meets Mikel, he asks him to tell Paco that his mother is dying and that she wishes to see him. Paco returns home to be with his mother in her final moments. After the funeral, Paco, completely free from drugs, decides to stay with his father and two younger sisters. Soon Paco looks for Urko, who also has recovered from his addiction. The two friends rekindle their friendship and go back to visit Betty, who is still hooked on heroin. After having sex with her, they can't resist the temptation and begin to use drugs once again. To get the heroine they crave, Paco and Urko go to visit El Cojo. Their plan is to rob him and take the money and drugs from him with the help of a gun Paco has stolen from his father. El Cojo is with his wife and their baby son. When assaulted, he opposes with violent resistance, and during the confrontation, Urko shoots him in the head. When Pilar yells out, Urko kills her too.

Lieutenant Alcántara immediately suspects Paco and Urko as the culprits in the killing of El Cojo and his wife, based on the ballistics of the gun and the witnesses' descriptions. While defending his son, Torrecuadrada communicates his suspicions to Aramendía. Paco and Urko go to Betty's place, where Urko overdoses on the stolen heroin and dies. At the morgue, while Torrecuadrada and Aramendía discuss telling the truth about what they know, Paco arrives to see the body of his dead friend. He cries and apologizes to Aramendía. Paco's father takes him to a deserted road by the sea and asks him to give him the stolen gun and the drugs, throwing them away into the ocean. Now there is no evidence that can be used against Paco.

Packer begins a quest to hunt the legendary Firefish by stowing away aboard the Trophy Chase, a pirate ship captained by the notorious Scat Wilkins. His goal is to learn how to capture the Firefish, whose rare meat is extremely valuable, and will bring prosperity back to all Nearing Vast. While he attempts to win his way among pirates, Panna Seline determines to follow him. The trials of Packer at sea and Panna on shore are told in interweaving fashion.

Newlyweds Packer and Panna Throme are called upon their government to undertake a new adventure. Packer, having proven himself a hero in the events of the previous book, is asked to lend his name and credibility to the coming war with the rivals across the sea, The Kingdom of Drammun.

The novel explores what might have happened had Joseph Stalin been raised in the United States, postulating his parents having emigrated a few months before his birth, instead of remaining in the Russian Empire. It depicts Stalin (in this history, taking the name Joe Steele) growing up to be an American politician, rising to the presidency and retaining it by ruthless methods through the Great Depression, World War II, and the early Cold War. The president is depicted as having the soul of a tyrant, with Stalin's real-world career mirrored by actions taken by Steele.

During the 1932 Democratic Convention in Chicago, Illinois, the party had decided on two front runners: California Congressman Joe Steele, and; incumbent Governor of New York Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, after two days of votes, neither candidate has the needed two-thirds majority, although Roosevelt had a slight edge. Realizing he might lose after another day of voting, Steele directed one of his aides Vince "The Hammer" Scriabin to have Roosevelt burned alive at the New York State Executive Mansion in Albany. Steele's other assistants Lazar Kagan and Stas Mikoian were not privy to the initial planning. However, Charlie Sullivan, by happenstance, overheard Scriabin on the phone giving the order for the arson. Steele never knew this. However, in light of Sullivan's "fairness" in his reporting, Steele personally met with Sullivan and promised that Sullivan would always have access to Steele's camp.

When the New York State Executive Mansion was set ablaze, Roosevelt is burned alive in the fire since he could not escape in time due to him being rendered immobile by polio. His wife Eleanor and several members of the mansion staff are also killed in the fire. The Roosevelts are then buried in Hyde Park, New York following their deaths.

With Roosevelt dead, the Democratic Party has little choice but to nominate Steele as their candidate for the 1932 Presidential election with John Nance Garner of Texas as his running mate, with whom Steele had reached an early arrangement. Steele would go on to defeat Republican incumbent Herbert Hoover in a landslide and become the 32nd President of the United States.

Rather than Roosevelt's New Deal plan, Steele implements the Four-Year Plan, in lieu of Stalin's Five-Year Plan, which entails massive infrastructure projects, nationalizing the banks and the formation of the Tennessee Valley Authority, as in the actual timeline, but also the formation of prisoner work camps for the pseudo-enemies of the state, called wreckers. Roosevelt's attempt to pack the United States Supreme Court to pass more of his New Deal laws is mirrored by Steele's arrest of four dissenting Supreme Court Justices (Pierce Butler, James Clark McReynolds, George Sutherland and Willis Van Devanter) known as the "Supreme Court Four" on charges of aiding foreign world powers, and has them executed. Additional political foes find similar charges leveled against them, including Senator Huey Long, who flees to his power base of Louisiana, but is assassinated regardless.

In 1936, Steele and Garner are reelected in a landslide against Republican candidate Alf Landon and his running mate Frank Knox, who only carry eight electoral votes from Maine and Vermont. Steele and Garner would also go on to defeat Wendell Willkie in 1940, Thomas E. Dewey in 1944, Harold Stassen in 1948, and Robert Taft in 1952.

In this timeline, Leon Trotsky is left as Lenin's heir, but Hitler's rise in postwar Germany commences with the same rapidity as in the real world. When World War II in Europe begins, only grudgingly does Steele commit to help Winston Churchill and Trotsky with the Lend Lease Act. When Japan attacks Pearl Harbor in 1941, Steele sets up tribunals to demand answers from commanders General Short and Admiral Kimmel, and has them executed for incompetence. When the Philippines suffers much the same fate, Douglas MacArthur is evacuated to Australia and then the United States, whereupon he is additionally charged with incompetence. Furious, MacArthur denies all allegations, but submits to execution to spare his family.

Minus MacArthur, the war follows much the same path as in the real world with the notable exception of the Manhattan Project, as Albert Einstein does not approach President Steele to propose an atomic bomb program. Without nuclear weapons, the invasion of Japan sets the stage for the end of the Second World War, with American troops invading from the South and Soviet troops invading from the North. After Emperor Hirohito is killed in an air raid, the Japanese lose the will to fight and surrender.

In the aftermath of Japan's surrender, the Soviets occupy the island of Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshu, under Fedor Tolbukhin with some Japanese Communists acting as his puppets in the new "Japanese People's Republic" (North Japan). Similarly, the U.S. establishes the "Constitutional Monarchy of Japan" (South Japan) in southern Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Hirohito's 12-year-old son Akihito becomes the new emperor, although he acts as a puppet to General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who is the one to actually run the country. The Agano River acts as the border between the two states with a demilitarized zone of three miles in either direction.

Meanwhile, the Soviets liberate the Korean Peninsula from the Japanese in mid-1945 and established the puppet state of the People's Democratic Republic of Korea with Kim Il-Sung as its ruler.

Evidence of German nuclear testing, captured by the Western Allies near the end of the war, is brought to the attention of Steele, who demands answers from Einstein. Einstein states the potential for a weapon of enormous destructive power, but says he did not want such a weapon in the hands of Joe Steele. Steele has Einstein executed (along with J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and other colleagues), and the American nuclear project hastily gets underway.

The Cold War between Trotsky and Steele heats up in June 1948, resulting in a Korean War-esque Japanese War between an invading Communist North and an unprepared South, which ends in August 1949 after a short nuclear exchange which results in Sendai being nuked by the Americans and Nagano by the Soviets. In 1952, Steele is elected to his sixth term in the presidency over Republican candidate Robert Taft with the morose Vice President John Nance Garner in tow.

On March 6, 1953, Steele dies from a stroke at the age of 74. Garner assumes the presidency of a shocked cabinet made up of Steele's cronies, and has virtually all of them removed. However, a newly courageous Congress impeaches Garner for the sins of Steele, and the executive branch becomes vacant. In the political vacuum, GBI (Government Bureau of Intelligence) director J. Edgar Hoover assumes political control and becomes Director of the United States. It is then revealed that his rule over the country is even more ruthless and tyrannical than Steele’s.

A famous author, Sandy Duffy (Conleth Hill), wrote his well-known and only novel, "A Patch of Fog" nearly 25 years ago. Sandy is now a university lecturer and talk-show personality with co-host Lucy (Lara Pulver), who is also Sandy's girlfriend. Still riding the success of his only publication, Sandy has developed a shoplifting addiction and gets caught by a security guard, Robert Green (Stephen Graham).

Robert detains Sandy, shows him the CCTV footage, and threatens to call the police. Sandy pleads with Robert, and Robert agrees not to call the police if Sandy goes for a drink with him. They force an awkward conversation. As Sandy gets ready to leave, Robert reminds him that he still has the copy of the shoplifting footage. They agree to meet that weekend for another drink, at which point Robert will turn over the disk containing the video.

After lecturing at university, Sandy tells his colleague about Robert, calling him a "sad little man." Robert walks into the classroom, having apparently eavesdropped on the conversation. Robert leads Sandy to some railway tracks and gives him a coin flattened by a passing train and keeps the other for himself as a symbol of their new friendship.

Sandy becomes increasing concerned with Robert's behaviour and apparent obsession with him. Sandy offers to meet Robert at the pub and they get into an argument. Sandy threatens to tell the police, and Robert threatens him back; they walk to the police station together. As they are approaching the service window, Robert reveals that he has copies of Sandy's other shoplifting incidents. Sandy apologies for threatening him, and they leave the police station.

Sandy invites Robert to his house and gives him a tour. During the tour, Sandy explains that he doesn't have a copy of his famous novel, but has the original manuscript around the house somewhere. Sandy gets Robert high, offering him a marijuana cigarette, and pretends to connect with Robert. Sandy asks Robert to give him the recordings, but Robert refuses.

At a loss, Sandy takes more extreme measures. He invites Robert to attend a lecture at university. When Robert arrives, the lecturer informs him that Sandy called in sick. Meanwhile, Sandy drives to Robert's apartment, and breaks in through a back window. Sandy finds the disks, destroys the apartment, and then throws the disks into the River Lagan.

Feeling relieved, Sandy resumes his life teaching and hosting the talk show. Just when everything is looking better, Sandy gets a message from Robert consisting of security footage from Robert's flat, which clearly shows Sandy's crime. Sandy then drives to Robert's flat, begging for forgiveness. Robert shows up at the train tracks, visibly distraught over Sandy's behaviour because he genuinely thought that Sandy was his friend. He then steps in front of an oncoming train, but Sandy tackles Robert and saves him.

On Robert's next shift at the store, he recognises Lucy from Sandy's talk show. He introduces himself to Lucy and her daughter, Phoebe. Phoebe drops something and Robert picks it up; he is enraged to discover that it is the deformed coin he gave to Sandy. Later that evening, Robert sees Sandy with Lucy and her daughter. Robert becomes angry and jealous, and smashes their car windows.

The next day when Robert gets home, Sandy is waiting for him. The living room is empty except for the couch. Sandy explains that he had the delivery men remove all of Robert's furniture and that he ordered an entire new living room set. Sandy invites him to attend his university lecture that same evening. At the lecture, Sandy assigns the class a new project. He shows the class the video recording of him vandalising Robert's flat, telling the class it is performance art and he will email all the students the video. After the lecture, Sandy tells Robert that his living room is now unrecognisable from the video, and he could have gotten the video from the email, meaning Robert no longer has anything he can use as blackmail. He tells Robert to stay away from him, that he always despised him and is happy to have Robert out of his life.

Robert breaks into Sandy's house and begins searching the house. Eventually, he finds Sandy's original handwritten manuscript of "A Patch of Fog," which is shown to be written by his father. Robert then understands that Sandy's father wrote the book and that Sandy has been a fraud his entire life.

Sandy gets home and demands that Robert return the manuscript, but Robert refuses and instead says that he will move in with Sandy to help him write his own book. Sandy becomes angry and puts Robert in a headlock but slips and falls, accidentally killing him.

Sandy loads Robert's body into his boot and drives to a lake. Sandy dumps Robert's body over the edge of the boat. However, a rope becomes wrapped around Sandy's ankle and pulls him overboard. He is dragged down with Robert and drowns.

The film opens with Dave (Jeroen Perceval) jumping into a pool, wearing a stocking over his face. He runs to a waiting car, where Sylvie (Veerle Baetens) asks him where his brother is. Dave says that he had to leave him behind. Dave's brother, Kenny (Kevin Janssens) is arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison.

Four years later, Dave is working at a car wash and Sylvie is working as a waitress at a sleazy nightclub; both are now sober and Sylvie attends regular AA meetings. One day at work, Dave gets a phone call informing him that Kenny is getting released early. That night, he goes to pick up Sylvie at work, and it is revealed that they have been dating for some time and Sylvie is pregnant with Dave's child. Sylvie wants to tell Kenny about their relationship, but Dave is reluctant.

Dave goes to pick Kenny up from prison. They stop on the way back to deliver a Christmas tree to their mother, Mariette (Viviane de Muynck). She makes Dave promise that he will take care of Kenny and stop him from getting in any more trouble. The following day, Dave takes Kenny with him to work at the carwash, and asks his boss, Robert, if he will hire Kenny. Robert initially says no, but after he loses a bet concerning a penalty kick in the soccer game that he is watching on TV, he hesitantly hires Kenny.

One night, Kenny follows Sylvie to her AA meeting. He interrupts the meeting and berates her for abandoning him in prison. She gets up and leaves, but Kenny follows her out. After a brief fight outside, Kenny relents and invites Sylvie to Christmas dinner at his house with his mother and Dave. Sylvie says she will think about it; Dave secretly watches the scene unfold from his car. Later, as Dave and Sylvie search for an apartment together, Sylvie tells Dave that Kenny invited her to Christmas dinner. Dave tells her that she must come, insisting that Kenny will find it strange if she doesn't.

At the Christmas dinner at Mariette's house, Kenny tries to pour Dave a glass of wine, but Dave tells him that he is now sober, which upsets Kenny. Mariette pulls Dave aside later and asks him when he is going to tell Kenny that Sylvie is pregnant with his child; Dave avoids the question. Later, Kenny invites Dave to come with him to the club where Sylvie works.

At the club, Dave tries to tell Kenny about the situation with Sylvie, but Kenny gets distracted watching Sylvie; he thinks she is flirting with her boss, Chalid. Kenny goes to confront Chalid and insults him, eventually beating him up after Chalid suggests that Kenny can no longer properly take care of Sylvie. As Kenny leaves the bar, he tries to apologize to Sylvie, but she rebuffs his apology, telling Kenny that she stopped visiting him in prison because he only reminded her of all the mistakes she'd made in her life.

The next day, while Kenny is at work at the car wash, he gets attacked by two of Chalid's goons. Kenny manages to overpower them, but Robert sees the fight and fires both Dave and Kenny. That night, Kenny borrows Dave's car and uses it to follow Sylvie after work. Again, he sees her talking with Chalid. Immediately after, Dave gets a phone call from Kenny and meets him in a parking garage. Kenny has a body in the trunk and needs Dave's help to dispose of it; Kenny claims that he tried to stand up to Chalid but that Chalid fell and cracked his head. Kenny says that his cellmate from prison, Stefan (Jan Bijvoet) is going to help them dispose of the body; Dave is reluctant to help, until Kenny threatens to tell the police that Dave was his accomplice in the robbery that got him arrested years ago.

Kenny and Dave drive out to the Ardennes, with the body still in the trunk of Dave's car. They meet Joyce (Sam Louwyck), Stefan's transvestite lover, who brings them to Stefan's property - a trailer in the middle of the forest. At Stefan's trailer, Kenny and Stefan snort cocaine off a knife while Joyce makes them pancakes. The gamekeeper for the forest, Gérard (Eric Godon) and his dog, Ricardo, arrive suddenly at Stefan's trailer to inform Stefan that some ostriches have gotten loose and are wandering the countryside. Gérard tells them that if they encounter an ostrich, they should call him right away, as ostriches can actually be quite violent and dangerous. Ricardo begins to bark at Dave's trunk; Gérard goes to investigate and sees the body. Gérard pretends as though he has not seen anything amiss, and gets into his car to go "warn the other residents" about the ostriches. However, Kenny knows that Gérard has seen the body; he grabs the cocaine knife and stabs Gérard in the neck with it. Gérard bleeds to death on the ground in front of Kenny and Stefan; Dave, shocked, runs off into the forest.

Dave emerges from the forest and hitches a ride to the nearest police station. While waiting to speak to an officer, Kenny arrives and sits down beside him in the lobby. Kenny begs Dave for help disposing of both of the bodies; Kenny promises that if Dave helps, he will leave Dave and Sylvie alone forever. Dave hesitates for a moment but eventually relents and follows Kenny outside the station, where Stefan and Joyce are waiting in separate cars. Kenny tells Dave to go with Joyce and get Gérard's body from Stefan's trailer.

At the trailer, Joyce pulls a gun on Dave. However, before Joyce can kill Dave, he smashes a glass over Joyce's head and they get into a long and brutal fight. Dave eventually gains the upper hand and kills Joyce; he then sets Stefan's trailer on fire, with Joyce's body inside.

Meanwhile, Kenny and Stefan are in a warehouse chopping up Gérard's corpse. Dave pulls up outside the warehouse, and Kenny and Stefan emerge, thinking that Joyce has returned with Dave's body. To their surprise, Dave emerges from the car holding a gun. Kenny tries to calm Dave down, but he cocks the gun in Kenny's face, intent on killing him. At that moment, two ostriches emerge from the forest and attack Kenny and Dave. Dave shoots at the ostriches, and the gunfire alerts a nearby police officer of their location.

Dave manages to scare off the ostriches, but he loses his gun in the scuffle. Stef, who is furious that Dave has killed Joyce, hits Dave with his car; Dave is injured but alive. Stef gets out of the car, wielding a tire iron, and walks towards Dave. Before he can kill him, however, Kenny picks up the gun and shoots Stef in the face, killing him instantly.

As the sound of police sirens approach in the distance and Dave lies bleeding, Kenny puts the gun against his head, intending to commit suicide. However, just as he is about to pull the trigger, Dave calls Sylvie's cellphone. Her ringtone can be heard coming from somewhere nearby; Kenny takes her phone out of his pocket. Dave stands up, and upon realizing what has happened, opens the trunk of his car. Sure enough, it is not Chalid's body in the trunk, but Sylvie's, lifeless and wrapped in a tarp. Dave attacks Kenny, screaming that Sylvie was pregnant. He crawls on top of Kenny and points the gun at his forehead.

At that moment, several police cruisers arrive. The officers get out of their vehicles and shout at Dave to drop his weapon. He does not respond, continuing to hold the gun against Kenny's head, and the police eventually shoot him. Kenny is arrested by the police as Dave's body lies next to Sylvie's, illuminated by the light from the police cars.

The play is set in Wachau, Josefstadt, and the Vienna Woods just before the Austrofascist takeover. It tells the fate of a naive young woman, Marianne, who breaks off her reluctant engagement with Oskar after falling in love with a fop named Alfred who, however, has no serious interest in returning her love. For this error, she must pay bitterly. Werner Pirchner composed the incidental music to the play.

When Rudy Vallee has an accident and cannot meet his engagement at the Garden of the Moon nightclub, Toni Blake, the club's press agent, convinces owner John Quinn to hire young bandleader Don Vincente. Don and his band fly out to California from New York for the engagement, but Don almost quits when he learns he is supposed to perform with a woman singer because, in the past, women singers have caused rifts among the musicians. Don's defiance enrages Quinn, who announces that he will end the engagement as soon as Vallee recovers from his accident. The band, which plays swing music, is very popular with the public. Nonetheless, Quinn forces Don to use the woman singer. Don surrounds her with horns so that she cannot be heard, and Quinn retaliates by turning off Don's microphone. Nonplussed, Don sings without it. Hoping to find him a sponsor, so his trip to California will not be a total waste, Toni convinces a chewing gum manufacturer to listen to Don's broadcast. When Quinn hears about her plans, he determines to destroy the broadcast and the next day fires Don. Knowing that Quinn is fascinated by royalty, Toni plants a story about Don's friendship with the Maharajah of Sund. Soon Don is back at work, where Quinn throws a big party for the Maharajah. Toni's plans have succeeded, but Maurice, the maitre-d', almost ruins them when he recognizes the Maharajah as a bad waiter who once worked for him. Despite Don and Toni's efforts, Quinn learns the truth, but Toni convinces him that he will look like a fool if he takes revenge on Don. Don has been so successful that the owners of the hotel where the Garden is located want to sign him for twenty-six weeks. Don refuses to sign the contract, however, because the gum manufacturer has offered him a radio program. Quinn begs Toni to help him meet his obligations to the owners, and she convinces Don to do the radio broadcast from Hollywood. Mistakenly, he later decides that Toni is in league with Quinn and quits. Desperately, Quinn enlists the help of gossip columnist Jimmie Fidler, who warns Quinn over the radio that gangsters are out to kill him. Quinn fakes a shooting, and on his supposed death bed, he begs Don to stay. His ruse works and soon Quinn is back to work, as ornery as ever, with Don as his bandleader.

Eddie Dodson borrows money from the bank to finance a stylish furniture shop that doubles as a nightclub. When he is unable to pay back the loans, he turns to loan shark Roy Fortune.

She insists he give her a ride, and they begin dating after bonding over their love of trendy Los Angeles punk music. Dodson confides in her that he plans to rob a bank.

The next morning, Dodson follows through on his plan. His stylish appearance and flirtatious behavior make an impression on the bank teller, and she does not set off the alarm until he leaves. The investigating police officers, Detectives Holiday and Mercury, have little to go on besides his expensive fashion sense. Although frustrated with his limited take, Dodson uses the money to slowly begin paying back Fortune. Impressed that Dodson has pulled off the robbery, Pauline eventually becomes his getaway driver. She suggests that he is not really stealing from people if he provides them with a service. Dodson targets female tellers, whom he compliments as he demands the money.

Dodson hits banks all over Beverly Hills and Hollywood, Los Angeles, funneling most of the money to pay off Fortune. However, during one of his robberies, the teller includes a dye pack, which explodes in his car. After another robbery, Tina recognizes him and engages him in conversation before he can leave the bank. When she invites him to a party, he leaves in her car, abandoning Pauline. The police discover Dodson's car in the bank's parking lot and issue a warrant for his arrest based on the dye splashed in it. However, the teller backs out of identifying him in a line-up. With no other evidence, the police release him. Pauline does not return home.

When Dodson begins spending the money to feed his lavish lifestyle, Fortune threatens to kill him. After Dodson pulls his starting pistol, an enraged Fortune forces him to commit another bank robbery under the eye of his thugs. The teller's supervisor is uncooperative and calls Dodson's bluff, but Dodson intimidates the teller into handing over the money. As Dodson runs from the bank, the supervisor chases him; Dodson eludes both the thugs and the supervisor. At his house, Pauline, who has finally returned, says she has already told the police everything, as she no longer loves him, though she quickly contradicts herself by saying the police do not know of her existence. The police surround the house, and Dodson first imagines suicide by cop before, in reality, being arrested by Det. Mercury, who recognizes the starting pistol as fake.

In 1907 Jacob Rubinstein, a Russian Jew, leaves his village after it is attacked by cossacks. He heads for Hamburg, Germany, hoping that he can sail to America. While in Hamburg, he meets an African American called Roscoe Haines, who, after seeing his talent for playing Ragtime, encourages Jacob to go and see a music publisher called Abe Shulman in New York.

When on the ship, Jacob meets an Italian from Sicily named Marco Santorelli. Marco had been the gardener for the English actress Maude Charteris. She wanted him to move to London with her but he refused as he wanted to go to America to make his fortune.

One night during the crossing large numbers of the steerage class passengers dance on the ship's deck and Jacob and Marco meet and dance with two Irish sisters called Bridget and Georgiana O'Donnell. Bridget had been on the staff at Wexford Hall, the Irish home of the British landowner Jamie Barrymore the Earl of Wexford. Bridget, using the pseudonym of Mary-Ann Flaherty, had seduced the earl and assisted the Fenians in kidnapping Wexford. The same night Jacob has a brief conversation with a Czech called Tom Banicek.

When the ship arrives in New York, Bridget is frustrated that while first and second class passengers just go straight to immigration, the steerage class passengers are all required to go through Ellis Island. Marco passes through with no problems, Jacob is treated for a gunshot wound that he had suffered during the trouble in his village. Bridget too is allowed in, but Georgiana is refused entry when she is diagnosed with trachoma an eye disease that can lead to blindness. Despite Bridget's criticism of the Ellis Island doctor Carl Travers, the decision is final, but the sisters' Uncle Casey, a powerful businessman, arranges for Georgiana to return to Ireland and then come back on another ship by second class as she wouldn't be checked that way.

Tom Banicek, who has a cousin in New York, meets him on Ellis Island and translates for him when recruiters for the Staunton Mining Company based in Virginia try to employ him. Despite his cousin telling him that he would be poorly paid, would live in company housing which he would have to vacate if he ever left and that he could be fired for even mentioning joining a union, Tom says that he doesn't have a lot of choices for employment and that the conditions would be better than in the Austro-Hungarian Army which was the reason he came to America because he wants to avoid conscription.

After two years of living in America, Marco has been working as a labourer and decides to borrow money off a loan shark, as he concludes that the only way to make real money is to be your own boss. After, he buys a horse and cart, being a delivery driver in direct competition with Casey O'Donnell, he crashes and destroys his cart. When he is unable to repay the loan shark, Marco is tortured. Desperate, Marco discovers that Maude Charteris is in New York performing a play. He goes to see her and she agrees to give him the money to buy a truck, clean clothes, and somewhere decent to live. In return, he is to become her lover, despite there being a large age difference between them. One day out on deliveries, Marco meets Georgiana, who has now gone blind. They start going on regular dates. Georgiana and Bridget's aunt however, disapproves and asks Casey to sort the issue, which he interprets as him using his influence to get Marco deported.

A fellow inmate at the Ellis Island prison block tells Marco that he can help him escape. That night they break out and swim through New York Harbor.

When his relationship with Georgiana becomes serious, he goes to Maude to stop their affair. Maude also wants to stop as she is now engaged to Senator Phipps Ogden.

Georgiana spends her time working at the New York Library for the Blind. She learns one day that Marco become engaged to Vanessa Ogden, the daughter of Senator Ogden.

Marco hated himself for the way he treated Georgiana, but he decided that marrying Vanessa would be his ticket to high society. Senator Ogden approved of the engagement as he thought it might "tame" her. When they do get married, Marco makes regular trips to New York to see Georgiana, even though she senses that someone is watching her, Marco never tries to approach her. Marco and Vanessa's marriage produces a son, Frank. However, Vanessa refuses to sleep with Marco anymore. When Marco asks his father-in-law for his approval to run for the state senate, he agrees and thinks an Ellis Island immigrant would be the perfect candidate to go up against the Irish incumbent backed by Casey O'Donnell.

The story takes place on Seneca Lake in Central New York in the early nineteenth century. On Seneca Lake could be heard loud explosions which observers labeled "The Lake Gun." The source is unknown but the Native Americans consider it the voice of the Manitou, their god. There is also the "Wandering Jew," a tree trunk that floats on the lake blown by winds and currents.

Fuller, a traveler to the Finger Lakes, after hearing accounts of the "lake gun" and the "Wandering Jew", hires a boat with which he explores the mysteries accompanied by Peter.

Fuller notices an Iroquois of the Seneca tribe gazing at the lake one morning. He is college-educated. Wearing buckskin leggings and a blanket, he has returned to visit his ancestral home. He looks at the Swimming Seneca, the "Wandering Jew". They hear the "lake gun" sound. The Iroquois explains their origin.

There was once a demagogue, a chief, See-wise, who did not follow the traditions of the Seneca as established by the Great Spirit, Manitou. He decided that fishing could be done whenever people wanted. This went against the dictates of Manitou. But he was able to get youthful supporters for his cause. He then disappeared without a trace.

He was changed into a trunk of a tree floating in the lake according to the account. He would float for a thousand years. When he dived to fish, Manitou would warn him to stop, which was the "lake gun" explosion heard.

The Iroquois explains the lasting impression made upon him by the legend: "I cannot say. The things learned in childhood remain the longest on the memory. They make the deepest marks. I have seen the evil that a demagogue can do among the pale-faces; why should I not believe the same among my own people!"

When Peter sails close to the trunk, he points out its appearance, a shape that resembles a human face. It appears like a retreating forehead and a hatchet-shaped face. These are features that mimic William Henry Seward's appearance as noted by Robert E. Spiller.

The story concludes with a warning against demagoguery: "The man or the people that trust in God will find a lake for every See-wise"
