Heroes such as Mister Fantastic offered to work on finding a means of reactivating his healing factor but Wolverine accepts who he is and decides not to try and fix it. When he learns that there is a bounty that has been placed on his head, Logan resolves to find his foe. It initially leads him to Viper, who then points him in the direction of Lord Ogun, and Ogun eventually identified him as Doctor Abraham Cornelius, the founder of the Weapon X program. Wolverine then travels to Paradise, where he finds Cornelius trying to replicate what he did to Wolverine but he is missing one thing: Wolverine's Healing Factor. Wolverine then reveals to him that he no longer has his healing factor; on hearing this Cornelius is enraged and sets his latest experiment on Wolverine. Wolverine then defeats Dr. Cornelius' latest experiment and Dr Cornelius, in desperation, tries to escape by activating the adamantium bonding process on the three other subjects. Wolverine slashes the adamantium container before the bonding process can begin, but Wolverine gets covered in the adamantium when the container shatters. Dr. Cornelius is then shown to be fatally injured with a piece of glass as a result of Wolverine throwing the Experiment through the glass window previously. As Dr. Cornelius dies, he demands to know what Wolverine accomplished in his life. Wolverine reflects on this and thinks he has done enough with his life, before he dies from suffocation from the hardening adamantium, kneeling in the sunset outside of Dr. Cornelius' base. This leaves Storm in charge of the X-Men and the team is heartbroken over what happened to Wolverine.Death of Wolverine #1–4 ===== In Jupiter, Florida 1952, a milkman enters the house of Eudora Tattler to find her dead, and upstairs finds an injured pair of conjoined twins: Bette and Dot. They are rushed to the emergency room, shocking and sickening the hospital personnel. Elsa Mars arrives and asks candy striper, Penny, about the "discovery" and then invites Penny to her Freak Show known as "Fräulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities", infiltrating the secure wing (in candy striper garb) to meet them. Elsa tells the twins that she tried to meet them at their home, but now that they are out of the house she has come to see them. As the conversation progresses, it becomes apparent that the twins can communicate with each other without speaking. Bette takes an immediate shine to Elsa, but Dot despises her. Near Lake Okeechobee, a couple enjoy a picnic. Twisty, a clown with a disturbing visage, appears and knocks them unconscious before stabbing Troy to death with scissors. Terrified, Bonnie runs and he chases her. Later on, Twisty slaughters a married couple and takes Bonnie and Corey, the son of the murdered couple, to the woods and imprisons them in an old bus. Elsa spots a member of her troupe, Jimmy Darling, at a local diner. Jimmy expresses his belief that the show's days are numbered and his desire to live a normal life away from the freak show. Later at a tupperware party, Jimmy (who has severe ectrodactyly) uses his fingers to pleasure a curious young party-goer. Elsa returns to see the twins and asks them to explain their mother's murder. They first lie and claim that a man broke into their house. Elsa again confronts them at their home after they escape from the hospital, planning to run away. The twins confess to Elsa that their mother kept them captive and when she refused to let them leave the house, Bette stabbed her to death. Two days later, Dot stabbed Bette non-fatally out of guilt at not preventing the murder. After accepting Elsa's offer for a new home, Ethel, a bearded lady and Jimmy's mother, tells the twins how Elsa rescued her from the drunk tank and reunited her with Jimmy. Dot is smitten with Jimmy but disgusted by Ethel, and refuses to perform in the freak show. Ethel warns that there is no other life for them. Penny (who was kidnapped and drugged for days) emerges into Elsa's tent, wanting to go home. Elsa starts up a projector showing a film in which Penny was involved in what appears to be a freak-filled orgy, guaranteeing Penny's future silence. Jimmy expresses to Ethel that he wants to leave the show, but she tells him to forget about it as they would never be accepted by society. That evening, a detective attempts to arrest the twins for the murder. The other carnies fill the tent before the detective calls them "freaks", causing Jimmy to slice the detective's throat open in a fit of rage. Later, Jimmy leads a procession of carnies who carry the detective into the nearby woods, as he rants that he is tired of being treated differently by society. After his speech, the carnies hack the policeman's dead body apart while Twisty watches. The wealthy Gloria and her stunted son, Dandy buy every seat for that night's performance, delighting Elsa who is convinced that the twins' arrival will revive the freak show's fortunes. The show gets underway as Ethel provides the introduction, showing off the "freaks" followed by Elsa singing David Bowie's "Life on Mars?". Dandy is enthralled with the twins and offers to buy them permanently, for $15,000. The twins decline, claiming they have found their new home. Elsa confesses to Ethel that she brought the twins into the show to draw crowds, not for the family of carnies, but for her own glory. Ethel agrees that Elsa is gifted enough to be a true star. As Elsa prepares to go to bed, she undresses and reveals that she is legless below both knees. ===== In a toy store, a clerk spots a windup toy tracking blood from the next room, while Twisty lurks against a wall unseen. The clerk follows the blood trail to his employer's severed head before he is stabbed through the neck and beheaded by Twisty. At Elsa's campgrounds, the police arrive and enforce a curfew that will impact business. Bette and Dot confirm to Elsa the story that their mother's killer matches the description of the others. During dinner, Jimmy snaps at the carnies and goes to dig up the detective's corpse with Eve, who finds the officer's badge, giving it to Jimmy. Ethel observes her ex-husband Dell and his new wife Desiree arriving, with a trailer in tow. The two had been with a Chicago troupe for the last six years, but they are now on the run because Dell killed a man who was having sex with Desiree. Desiree reveals that she is a hermaphrodite with three breasts and male and female genitalia. Ethel later visits Dell and tells him that he is not welcome as Dell tried to kill Jimmy when he was a baby. Dell claims that Elsa has deputized him as her new second in command. During dinner, Dandy throws a tantrum over his constant boredom and storms away from his house. Later while driving, his mother Gloria encounters Twisty roadside and asks him to come entertain Dandy as she will pay him handsomely. Dandy talks with Jimmy and begs to join the troupe, but Jimmy says that without a deformity, he won't do well. Gloria introduces Dandy to Twisty. Dandy looks in Twisty's bag until Twisty knocks out Dandy with a pin and runs off. Corey and Bonnie try to escape but Twisty returns to the bus. He enters their cage and Bonnie smacks him with a wooden board and they escape, dislodging Twisty's mask in the process, revealing his lower jaw is missing and he essentially has no mouth. Bonnie runs into Dandy, who has followed Twisty, and begs for help. Dandy brings her back to Twisty, who has caught Corey, as all four enter the bus. On the main stage, Bette tries to sing but fails horribly. Elsa insists that they don't need a talent, since they have two heads. Jimmy suggests that Dot sing, and she beautifully performs "Dream a Little Dream of Me". Dell insists on matinees to get around the curfew but Elsa rejects the idea. Jimmy brings some carnies to the diner, wanting to be served, as disgusted patrons complain or leave. Paul grabs a plate another patron left behind, but the waitress refuses to let him eat it. Dell angrily hauls Jimmy out and beats him in the street, upset that the troupe has given a "free show" at the diner. Back at the grounds, Elsa has had a change of heart and lets Dell try to host the freak show as she thinks it's good to have him around. Dell introduces Meep, who bites the head off a chicken, followed by Dot, who sings Fiona Apple's "Criminal" with Bette on backup vocals. The crowd reacts warmly while Elsa watches from the sidelines, clearly jealous. The police return to search the camp after receiving an anonymous tip leading them to Dell. Jimmy attempted to frame Dell by planting the deceased detective's badge in his trailer, but Dell moved the badge under Meep's bedroll. Meep is arrested and shoved into a cell with angry locals. Elsa visits Bette, who is upset that she could not be the star her sister is. Elsa tells her that the fickle crowd will see her as the star soon. Elsa says that Bette must not allow Dot to steal Bette's stardom and slips her a knife under her pillow. A drunken Jimmy is awoken by Ethel. Jimmy is upset about Meep and blames himself. Ethel says that Jimmy should stay away from Dell. Jimmy intends to confess to free Meep, but as he emerges from the tent, a truck dumps Meep's corpse at Jimmy's feet, and he cries out in agony as the carnies surround him. ===== ===== Several years before the events of the film, Isabelle Reed (Isabelle Huppert), a conflict photographer, died in a car crash. In the present, a retrospective of her work and an article about her life and death is being released, putting her widower, Gene (Gabriel Byrne), in a crisis as his younger son, Conrad, who was twelve at the time of Isabelle's death, has no idea that she died by suicide. Conrad meanwhile is angry, aggressive and seemingly suicidal himself, frequently fantasizing about his mother and her death and obsessing over one of his female classmates. Jonah, Isabelle and Gene's oldest child, comes down to visit his father and Conrad and also go over his mother's work before it is donated to a museum. Though Jonah appears to his father to be the normal, stable one, he refuses to believe that his mother died by suicide and censors her work, deleting some of her photographs which appear to show her having an affair. At the hospital, when his child is being born, Jonah runs into an old girlfriend, Erin, whose mother is dying of cancer. He allows her to believe that his wife also has cancer. Wanting to return home after visiting his father and brother Jonah stops by Erin's house and the two have sex with Jonah telling Erin that he has never told his wife about his mother or the way she died. After the encounter, rather than return home, he goes back to his father's house and lies to his wife telling her that the family needs him more than he expected. Jonah and Conrad bond, with Conrad allowing Jonah to read portions of his diary which reveal the explanations behind his seemingly odd and random behaviour. Conrad wants to give the diary to Melanie, the girl he has a crush on, but Jonah dissuades him from doing so telling him she will laugh at him. Conrad ignores his brother's advice and prints out his diary, leaving it on Melanie's stoop. Gene gives Isabelle's work to her old friend Richard, who is the one writing the article, giving him permission to curate her work to see what is personal and what is not. Richard reveals to him that he and Isabelle had an ongoing affair overseas but that she was never interested in continuing the affair at home. Richard's article comes out earlier than expected and Jonah takes the news poorly. As Gene hasn't had the chance to tell Conrad yet he repeatedly tries to contact him, but Conrad ignores him and goes to a party where he is able to hang out with Melanie. As she is drunk he walks her home. Returning to his own home Conrad asks his father if what the paper said about Isabelle is true. He accepts the news graciously, but tells his father that Jonah is handling the situation badly. Jonah is unable to return home having avoided his wife and child for a while now, but Gene offers to drive him there. Gene, Conrad, and Jonah drive in the car towards Jonah's home, and Conrad recounts a dream he had in which his mother brought home a baby from overseas who was an old man that was actually Jonah's baby. ===== ===== Brak, a blond, braided and broadsword-wielding barbarian from the frozen north, continues his quest to reach the glorious southern realm of Khurdisan the Golden. In desolate country, he encounters malevolent magic. Boulders fall in a soundless rain, and a mysterious old stranger appears to know all about him. An invisible horror rends his pony to shreds. It seems he has some sorcerous foe against whom no mundane weapon can avail. After saving a shepherdess from the monstrous Manworm, Brak reaches the city of old Lord Strann, who rules the region as best he can but is threatened by the alchemist Nordica and her crony, the wizard Tamar Zed. Much of Strann's army has been lured to Nordica's side in the expectation of riches; Nordica's father possessed the knowledge of how to transmute base metal to gold, a secret for which she is thought to have murdered him. Brak, attempting to aid Strann, is caught by Nordica, joining three other captives--the girl he had previously rescued, an aged sailor, and a duplicitous smith. All four are slated to be sacrificed in a rite to make the gold. They attempt escape, are betrayed, and face more menace from the Manworm and Nordica's bestial familiar Scarletjaw. Ultimately Brak is victorious. Refusing the amorous advances of the grateful shepherd girl, whose attentions he diverts towards Strann's son and heir, Brak continues his journey towards Khurdisan. ===== Continuing his quest to reach the glorious southern realm of Khurdisan the Golden, Brak, a blond, braided and broadsword-wielding barbarian from the frozen north, crosses the desolate desert of Logol. By chance he meets a duo of royal twins whose throne has been usurped, and seek a champion to restore them.

Halliburton was a well-known adventurer of the day, having traveled the world extensively, and even becoming the first man to swim the Panama Canal. The film follows Halliburton's travels, from the Hindu temple of the Goddess of Kali, through the deserted temples of Angkor Wat, where he is tempted to try to gain a fortune in jewels, only to be thwarted by a guardian cobra.

At one point, the film contains the first ever footage of ecstatic rites by Hindus, in the city of Madras, whereby they pierce their cheeks and tongues with sharp needles, and pull large carts which are attached to their bodies by means of hooks inserted in their flesh. The only credited cast member is Richard Halliburton, who stars as "The Adventurer", as well as being the narrator of the film. ===== The story revolves around a group of young musicians - rock 'n rollers who venerate Bob Marley and wish to become a famous band. But their lives on the lowest rungs of Sri Lankan society, with its poverty and violence, offer them little if no opportunities. Friends returning from Italy talk about the money to be made. But the journey there is not straightforward because it's not legal. The film follows them on their dangerous journey with all its hazards, its comradeship, its tears and laughter, and also death. When in Naples, Italy, the appalling conditions of their day-to-day living, the hard labor, but also the basic human frailties, strengths, loves and hates, are also shown. On returning to Sri Lanka, somehow they seem to be better equipped to survive either in Sri Lanka, or to return to Italy, this time as legal immigrants. ===== ===== The story takes place within Neo Tokyo in the year 2025, five years after a severe terrorist attack at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The movie begins by showing the marriage of Abdu and Shakeela, who fails to see him as a husband due to his issues. He is given a separate area to sleep. It also shows the married life of Naseema and her husband, played by Devan. Due to some issues, Koya, played by Thilakan asks Abdu to divorce Shakeela. He refuses and the broker/member played by Mamukoya gets it done through the Imam of the mosque. Thrown out of the house with nowhere to go, he is forced to live on the beach and sleep at the mosque. We are also shown flashbacks of the Koya family and their life before riches. It shows Koya, a poor fisherman who takes home an orphan boy. Shakeela remarries the groom of Naseema's husband's sister, leading to issues between both the families. It eventually ends in the divorce of Naseema, who was pregnant at the time. She is forced by her parents to abort the baby to save the honour of the family and her father. Devan, upon knowing this through Abdu, goes to meet Naseema, where he is insulted by Koya and group. He also finds out that she was forced to abort the child. Koya and him make a bet regarding the President elections of the Mosque and if Koya fails, he shall take his old job and bring fish to Fakhruddins home and will allow him to remarry Naseema.

They try to make her change her mind. It eventually leads to her thinking about Abdu. Unable to withstand the guilt, she ends her life. This acts as an eye-opener for Koya, who has also lost the elections. He agrees to let Naseema remarry Fakhruddin's son. But it requires her to be married and divorced by another man as per Islamic law. Hence, as per the idea given to Koya's wife by the member, Abdu is suggested. Koya initially disagrees, eventually agreeing and even going to meet and old friend to get Abdu to agree. The day of the marriage is fixed and everything happens well. On the day of the divorce, Abdu disagrees, leading to conflict. It is finally shown that it was Naseema who requested him to not divorce her. The final scene of the movie is a bloodied Abdu and a tired Naseema leaving Koyas house, Saudi Manzil. ===== The film begins in Old Shanghai with a homeless orphan called Sanmao (Three Hairs). Constantly battling with hunger and coldness, he sleeps in garbage carts and eats anything he can possibly find. He tries to mimic other children workers and earns money by selling newspapers and picking up cigarette butts. However, without any parents, he has no one who can teach him how to properly survive in a society. Fortunately, Sanmao comes across a group of street urchins who take him in and look out for him while working together. The little earnings that he manages to make still have to be given to their “Little Boss.” To Sanmao, the world seems to have abandoned him. He envies the children who can attend school and who have parents who will buy anything for them. However, he stays optimistic and resilient, and keeps on working hard. One day, Sanmao is blamed for stealing a wallet that he merely wants to return, but is then saved by the “Big Boss.” Big Boss lures Sanmao to work for him with Big Boss’s other “apprentices” as child smugglers. Although Sanmao no longer needs to worry about food and clothes, he detests his “job” and runs away after several attempts. Unable to continue living on the street, Sanmao by chance sells himself into a rich family who wants to adopt a son. His schedule is constantly packed with different classes in order to prepare him for an upcoming celebration of his adoption. Unfortunately, Sanmao doesn’t want to become the kind of smart, obedient “son” that the family wishes for. On the night of the celebration, Sanmao decides to quit being the family’s obedient toy so he invites all his homeless friends to a feast before escaping this home. Sanmao returns to his harsh but free life on the street. His days continue on as before until the Liberation of Republics of China. Countless homeless orphans like Sanmao join the march on the street and dance alongside other people. This heart-warming ending scene shows a strong contrast to a previous scene, where Sanmao and other homeless children were chased away by the police when they attempted to join a Boy Scout parade, and thus hints at a hopeful future for Sanmao and other orphans. ===== A young reporter (called Ryan, played by Matthew Nabwiso) loses his girlfriend and job in one day.

On one such occasion, she reads the letter fully. In that letter, somebody asks her to come to an isolated place near Borra caves, Vizag. She reaches that place and finds Amba, a yogin who lost all her relatives because of the male-dominated society. To take revenge on the society, she did penance for many years and prepared a herb.

She also asks him if he did not drink water on the 24th. He becomes suspicious of Ramalakshmi. Then he goes to a Police station and finds Nagulu (Babu Mohan), an S.I. who is also behaving normally. He explains that after he had gone out of Vizag on 23rd and returned on 25th, everything in Vizag got changed. Naresh confirms that something happened on the 24th which caused this situation, and Ramalakshmi might be one of the persons behind it. Ramalakshmi also finds that Naresh is a police officer who came there for investigation.

He also reveals that he found the antidote called Pamba Lakidi Jamba and accidentally mixed it with Jamba Lakidi Pamba. Because of that, people become mad in five stages. He also explains that he has a final antidote called Pamba Jamba Lamba Lakidi. But before they take it from him, he is kidnapped by Thutala Rani with the help of Ramalakshmi. When they try to trace him, they find that people have reached the second stage in which kids behave like elders and vice versa.

Each case was time limited, and every action taken used up a set amount of time. Successfully making a correct suggestion within the allotted time gave the player the maximum 4-star score for the level.

Then, they journey with it from Kampala to Kasangombe in a heartbreaking bid to overcome poverty and experience hope. The journey throws them dangerous experiences on unpredictable Ugandan roads. Their mother's dying wish had set them off on a seemingly impossible journey to find a relative they do not even know. Before her death, she leaves them an envelope addressed to her sister (their auntie) who is married to a hard- working man living in a distant village called Kasangombe with their kids. Ingeniously, Derick creates a coffin using wood he collected from a rubbish dump and adds luggage bag rollers brought by Margaret. On their journey from Kampala City to their aunt's place, they are offered a lift by a seemingly kind man (played by Joel Okuyo Atiku) in a truck who is amazed by their "box". He introduces them to a kid he had taken under his wings relaxing at the back and shows them a photo of a house they can possess if they work for him. At night though, Margaret sees a scary dream where their helper is not exactly as kind as he seemed so she runs out of the truck. Derick follows and the boy throws out their coffin before waving. They walk the rest of the distance. Initially, their uncle (played by Isaac Muwawu) did not want them in his house because he thought they were HIV-infected. Derick overheard him quarrel with his aunt at night and shook Margaret in the morning from another dream (this time beautiful, where both siblings were smiling and enjoying a picnic in a glorious garden with their aunt, uncle, cousins, dead parents and some whites). Derick convinced her to walk away from the home with him but without a reason. On the way, Margaret stops and taunts her brother to reveal why they were leaving or else she wouldn't continue. When he said that he was going to the man who had given them a lift in his truck and work to get a big house like the one in the photo that flew out when they ran, Margaret revealed to him that she had seen a dream the previous night. Derick replied bluntly that her dreams never come true. So when she U-turned in defiance and saw her gleeful aunt coming, she happily ran towards her oblivious of the fact that there was danger lurking. At the T-junction near a bridge, a white Nissan Datsun pick up sped without warning and knocked her into a river, fulfilling the nightmare she had seen a couple of times from the start of the movie. Her uncle helped to pull her out. ===== Adam Gendle and Tim Warwood share their knowledge about football and compare players between segments that show teams playing.

The show's sponsor, Sam Ipswich (Gregory Ratoff), discovered the orphan and made her a star in three months. He needs her public image to match her pure radio persona to promote Ippsie Wippsie, "the washcloth of queens". However, Glory longs to be a party girl, going to nightclubs, drinking, dancing, meeting men, and having a good time. All she can do is listen with envy to what her black maid Vera (Theresa Harris) does in Harlem after work. Ipswich is anxious for her to sign a new contract, but she throws a tantrum and refuses because it explicitly prohibits all the things she wants to do. Along with everything else she has missed, she wants a sweetheart. Speed Dennis (Frank McHugh), Ipswich's press agent, considers this a great idea. He thinks the man should be "Anglo-Saxon" (to appeal to the corn belt), and Herbert (Franklin Pangborn), Glory's dressmaker, insists that he should be under 25. Ipswich's secretary tells them that the "purest Anglo-Saxons" hail from the hills of Kentucky, so Glory picks a fan letter at random from those written by young Kentucky men and ends up with 23-year-old Jim Davey (Norman Foster). She likes the enclosed photo of him. Ipswich, Speed and Herbert want her to choose someone else, but when "sob sister" reporter Elmerada de Leon (ZaSu Pitts) comes to interview Glory, she spots the photo, so they have to play along. Speed goes to Kentucky and persuades the reluctant rural hick to accept a 10-day stay in New York. When he arrives, the press expects him to marry her, so Speed prompts the bashful Jim into romancing Glory. The wedding is conducted on-air. Kelsey (Edgar Kennedy) assigns O'Connor (Allen Jenkins) to try to steal Glory away for his own radio program, sponsored by the Kelsey Dish Rag Company. O'Connor offers Jim help to slip away with Glory for a private honeymoon in Atlantic City, away from the press. Naive, Jim is stunned when he finds out that O'Connor is doing all this just to get Glory to sign with Kelsey and that the marriage is just a publicity stunt. At first, Jim insists that Glory wants to retire from show business and settle down, but when she learns the Kelsey contract has no restrictions on how she lives her life, she is eager to sign. Jim decides to take matters into his own hands, taking his wife home to rural Kentucky. At first, Glory is miffed, but the couple settle their differences (after a spanking and a punch to the jaw). As they are settling into country life, Speed arrives, but he is unable to persuade Glory to return. He then has an idea: He gets Ipswich to let Vera sing as the Purity Girl that night. His plan backfires. Glory does become jealous, as he intended, but O'Connor is present, and she signs his contract. When the couple go to New York, Jim refuses to let his wife perform without him. Speed has hired him for Ippsie Wippsie as a poet. To solve the problem, the two sponsors join forces, merging their companies to form Ippsie-Kelsey Clothies, and have the young couple perform together. ===== ===== Wealthy middle-aged gentleman Patrick lures handsome provincial journalist Nicholas to London with the promise of a job, and puts the younger man up at his hotel suite.

Seagull is really only allowing it hoping Rufus will fail and finally acknowledge how much of a failure Seagull thinks he is. Rufus ages baby Goal but she is in fact revealed to be a clone of Donna rather than Goal. Seagull demands Rufus gives up and resorts to threatening one clone with a gun while the other points out Rufus' faults. Rufus' deceased adoptive mother is mentioned pushing Seagull to fire the gun. The other resistance members intervene and the shot instead hits the other clone. Rufus carries his wounded clone to an escape vehicle but accidentally backs it into the cannon preventing it from being fired. Meanwhile, the Rufus on the cruiser has been working with Cletus, (whom he mistakes for one of the other Rufus clones). He makes the discovery that Goal was saved after the lethal injection incident. She's thrown from the cruiser and Rufus follows her on Opperbot. At the headquarters, Rufus is mourning the death of the other Rufus. Seagull prepares to kill Rufus when the Rufus riding Opperbot crashes into him killing them both. The last remaining Rufus reunites with Goal and apologizes to her and everyone for having doomed them all. However, Goal convinces everyone to give Rufus another chance pointing out it's thanks to him Deponia has not yet been destroyed. The resistance looks to Rufus for one last crazy idea. Rufus decides they will all cram into the vehicle inside the cannon and fire it at the cruiser. The plan succeeds although Rufus is seen as Argus and taken to Ulysses, the leader of the Organon. Argus who was also on the ship reveals that once his army reaches Elysium, he will use his army to take over. Ulysses not wanting a coup to occur stops the Highboat while they are still in the range of the explosion, in hopes of saving his daughter Goal who he thinks is in Elysium. Goal shows up on the bridge, in hopes of convincing her father to stop Deponia's destruction. However, the irreversible process for the detonation already started. Rufus convinces Argus and Cletus to cooperate in order to destroy the transmitter of the bomb, while the people on the Highboat escape to Elysium by climbing the wires. Argus tricks Cletus to seemingly fall to his death, and after stopping the transmitter tries to coerce Rufus into joining him in his plan to take over Elysium. Cletus comes back and attacks Argus which caused all three get stuck in the rotor which balances the cruiser. They are found by Goal who can only rescue one of them. She decides only to rescue Rufus but as the three wear the same outfit she does not know who Rufus actually is. Ultimately, Rufus tells Goal that Cletus is actually Rufus and lets go to fall back to Deponia (fully aware that he knows that Goal still loves Cletus). Goal saves Cletus while Barry follows Rufus down, congratulating him for his selfless action and for saving everyone. Goal takes “Rufus” to the council of Elysium. The council is concerned: due to the new situation Elysium is overpopulated and there are not enough resources. That's why they have the intention to destroy Elysium and move back to Deponia. Goal tells the council to listen to the advice of "Rufus". Cletus decides to give up his old identity and to live as Rufus from that point onward. Goal then leaves the scene and goes to a perch overlooking Deponia. She sighs hinting that he knew she picked Cletus over Rufus. It is not revealed whether the real Rufus survived the fall or not. ===== Neela (Bibbo) and Jagirdar (Surendra) marry each other without anyone's knowledge.

He plans to own a chain of stations someday and to marry his girlfriend, Marje, when the time is right. Glory, a flirtatious, accident-prone debutante whose snobbish mother has just purchased a big summer house, falls for him, and the feeling is mutual. An unlikely friendship develops between Glory and Marje, who sees that Blackie is truly in love with Glory and tells him to follow his heart and marry her. Glory and Blackie elope and settle into Blackie's bungalow. Weeping, Glory's mother tells her she has ruined her life. The newlyweds are happy, in spite of Glory's attempts at housekeeping and her uncomfortable decorating ideas. (She replaces his big comfy wing chair with a tiny boudoir chair). When Glory learns that she is pregnant, the news spreads through the town until at last it reaches Blackie, who rushes home to find Glory's mother there. Just before he comes in, Glory's mother tells her very seriously that she is only a child herself, that she has no idea what she will have to go through. She is only thinking of Glory's happiness: “You must go to New York with me.” (This scene and the one in Mrs. Franklyn's New York apartment are cited to support the idea that Glory's mother wants her to have an abortion and did in fact persuade her to terminate the pregnancy.) Blackie is ecstatic at the news, but later Glory's mother persuades him to let Glory go to New York so that she can “have the best of everything”, although the local doctor is a highly qualified obstetrician. The visit lasts several months. When Blackie learns from Marje that Glory' mother wants her trunks sent to California, he rushes to the city. Blackie arrives at the New York apartment, which is full of furniture draped in dust covers for a long absence. Glory and her mother are going out for the evening. Glory's mother tells Blackie that he will find her “quite grown up”. She has changed. She has learned a great deal in the past few months. She is not going back. They have made arrangements for a divorce. When Glory enters the room, she pushes him away when he puts his arms around her. Her makeup, clothing and manner are indeed those of an older, more sophisticated—and slightly harder—woman. She apologizes for being a coward, and tells Blackie that the marriage was a mistake. He married the wrong kind of a girl. She doesn't blame him, but she has found herself. She wants a life with her friends—and her mother. When Blackie asks about the baby, Glory stands unmoving, with her head bowed, tapping a cigarette on the case in her hands. Her mother says, icily, “Blackie, your Doctor Jameson was wrong.” In the print streamed by Turner Classic Movies in July 2020, there is a break in the film, with a very brief, badly damaged reaction shot from Blackie, then a cut to a shot of him striding out of the apartment without a word. After the divorce, Blackie returns home to his bungalow to find his old armchair in place and Marje making his favorite dinner. He keeps trying to speak, but she tells him she knows the story: “Once upon a time, a knight rode away on a cloud with a princess. But one day, the princess pulled the cloud out from under him and he fell right smack dab on his... “ “Funny how a good kick in the pants can make a guy's head work,” he muses. She goes on, “What the boy didn't know was that the local Cinderella loved him, and she wanted him to be happy. And boy, is she happy.” They beam at each other. “Gee, that's the best chicken pie I ever ate.” ===== The movie starts on a stormy night in Kerala.

In fact, it was when Kabir told Sanjana that he was coming back home from abroad that Sanjana decided to separate from Anjana. It was during this operation that Anjana died, and Sanjana blames herself for her sister's death.

At her mother's place that night, Sanjana is forced into the outhouse by an unseen entity. Hearing noises, Kabir wakes up and finds her unconscious in the outhouse. When Sanjana awakes, she is possessed by Anjana's soul. After this, Sanjana/Anjana can't get enough of Kabir. When the professor meets her again, he feels there is something wrong and tells Kabir to keep an eye on her, which she overhears. The caretaker suggests that a ritual is performed on Sanjana/Anjana. After the ritual, Anjana's stronghold on Sanjana escalates and her true colors are shown, resulting in an exorcist being called in. During the kanjar, Anjana reveals that she was murdered. As she leaves Sanjana's body, she urges Kabir to discover the truth of her death. After Sanjana wakes up, Kabir threatens to leave her. Sanjana tells him that years ago when he called her to tell Sannjana that he was coming home, Anjana lost her mind and tried to kill her because she had feelings for Kabir too. In self-defense, Sanjana hit Anjana on the head with a glass music box, killing her. Their mother covered the truth to protect her daughter.

Sanjana, Kabir, the caretaker, and her daughter-in-law all follow the music leading to the outhouse. Under the floor, they find Anjana's corpse. The caretaker and her daughter-in-law go inside to get kerosene with which to burn the body. They both die at the hands of Anjana's soul. The professor arrives at the outhouse with kerosene, but is possessed by Anjana and tries to attack Sanjana. While Kabir fights him, he finds the locket he gave to Sanjana when they were young on Anjana's corpse. When he confronts Sanjana, she confesses that she is actually Anjana. She tells him that she killed Sanjana with the music box and took her sister's place so she could be with Kabir. Outraged, Kabir decides to leave her despite her pleas that she loves him. Sanjana (now revealed to be Anjana) hits him on the head with a chair to stop him from leaving and he falls. Anjana tries to kill Kabir with a pair of scissors but is stopped by Sanjana's soul, the burning roof falls on Anjana thus killing her and professor saves Kabir. Kabir sees Sanjana's soul smiling at him and then disappearing in the fire. ===== Agnes Appleby (Wynne Gibson), waitress at Nick's Restaurant, gets into a mass fight and escapes with friend Red Branaham (William Gargan).

Dr. Steve Brule directs himself in the title role of a rejected sitcom pilot about a Myer's Super Foods bagboy who must decide whether or not to report a shoplifter. Shelved for its "substandard quality and low entertainment value", it begins with an introduction by Pablo Myers, owner of Myer's Super Foods, along with his family. After the opening with Steve injuring himself after mopping the floor inside of Myer's Super Foods, Steve is shown stocking some produce when he is asked by Micky Dolenz (as himself) where the bananas are. After pointing to them, Brule is asked by cashier Daisy to bag customer Doug Prishpreed's cans. Prishpreed offers her a VIP ticket to the Dumpster Dive show featuring himself before rudely taking away his bags from Steve. Afterwards, Steve attempts to reveal his true affections for her when he is interrupted by his coworker Chip, who says that he has two tickets for a Twisted Chains concert. Myers suddenly calls all employees to his office for an emergency meeting. When they get there, he announces that there has been an increase in shoplifters, and that any employee who captures one will be granted ten free cans of food from their stock. After fantasizing about the reward, Brule goes on the look out behind where the haughty Mrs. Livingstone is shopping. After being scolded by Livingstone for scaring her, he decides to go over to the CCTV feed to search for any shoplifters. When he sees a young boy, who turns out to be Daisy's little brother Charlie, stealing a candy bar, he contemplates with his imaginary friend "Dog" whether he should let him go free or turn him in—the latter potentially souring his relationship with Daisy. Myers then appoints Steve to work the night shift to look out for any other shoplifters. At night, Steve attempts to look throughout the aisles. After playing with security guard Terry's gun, he goes off to snack on some horse meat, when he thinks of how disciplining Charlie would not be the right course of action. Just then, he hears a strange sound coming from butcher Brown's cutting room, and when he goes in, he finds Charlie tied to a piece of meat. Steve argues that punishing Charlie for shoplifting by grinding him up is unwarranted, but Brown says that he is doing so for the joy of murder. After bargaining with Brown in exchange for 25 of Myer's cans, he finally lets Charlie go. At the parking lot, Brule tells Charlie not to steal so that he grows up to be a "cool guy" and not a "dumb hunk" like Chip. As he lashes out on Chip, Charlie offers that if he lets him off, he will put a good word in with Daisy. The two agree, and in the morning, when Steve reports to Myers that he did not catch anyone, Myers gives him ten cans for staying late. ===== Wagons converge in the middle of nowhere.

Culpepper witnesses veteran prospector Silas "Solitaire" Carter getting attacked by an intruder, and comes to his defense. The fight results in the intruder's death and the two new allies decide to bury him. While digging for the grave, they discover a gold-bearing vein. They use the vein to calculate that there is a mother lode of gold in a nearby mountain.

Among the passengers is a lovely saloon singer, Nellie Brian, and Culpepper is instantly smitten with her. Brian is also attracted to him, but her mother urges her to focus on her next singing gig. At the town, Brian entertains her new boss, Jack Hanway. He is the prosperous owner of a local saloon. Neither Brian, nor her mother realize that Hanway is secretly the leader of the gang of outlaws. Brian eventually confesses her love to Culpepper, and also talks to him about a valuable necklace which the outlaws had stolen from her. Culpepper locates the necklace, at the hands of an outlaw known only by the nickname "Missouri". He forces the outlaw to hand over the necklace to him. Trying to impress Brian and outstage Culpepper, Hanway stages a robbery at his own saloon. His gang are supposed to act as robbers, and Hanway acts as the hero who bravely thwarts their plan. Culpepper figures out the plan and tries to expose Hanway as a criminal. Instead, "Missouri" accuses him of being involved with the stagecoach robbery and being in possession of the loot. With the necklace found in his possession, Culpepper is arrested as a thief and imprisoned. Brian is convinced that Culpepper is a villain. With his rival out of the way, Hanway romances Brian.

Thomas), convinced that the mysterious deaths of ten of his colleagues is the result of a mummy's curse, hopes to avoid the fate of the others by returning King Pharatime's treasures to his tomb. Ditch diggers Stanley Wright (Bert Wheeler) and Aloysius C. Whittaker (Robert Woolsey) answer a newspaper advertisement to join Browning's Egyptian expedition. Whittaker presents himself (unconvincingly) as an Egyptian expert, and Wright—who is immediately attracted to Browning's daughter Mary (Barbara Pepper)—makes a poor impression because he suffers spells of forgetfulness that can be cured only by taking a nap. (This is a running gag throughout the film.) Browning hires them anyway. On board the ship to Egypt the next day the boys meet Sterling (Moroni Olsen), who is part of the expedition. Catfish (Willie Best), a stowaway, is invited to join the group after he mentions that he is from Cairo—although Whittaker and Wright later discover that he is from Cairo, Illinois. After the group arrives at their hotel, Sterling disappears mysteriously and a threatening note is found. Soon after they arrive at their encampment, Whittaker, Wright and Mary awake to find Catfish tied up and everyone else gone. They find another threatening note in Browning's tent. They open Mr. Browning's instructions, which direct them to dig to the tomb entrance and place the boxes containing the treasures in the tomb. The three men dig until they have the entrance cleared, and start carrying the boxes into the tomb. The scene cuts to a secret room of the tomb, where Sterling has Browning tied up and gagged. Sterling reveals that he killed the other ten with a syringe containing undetectable poison, and plans to do the same to Browning, Mary, Whittaker and Wright. He leaves, but accidentally drops a diary, which Wright later picks up. A landslide seals the entrance and traps Whittaker, Wright, Mary and Catfish in the tomb. As they search for a way out, Sterling approaches them, pretending to be a victim of kidnapping and professing to believe in the curse. Wright reveals that he knows the deaths are actually murders—he has read the diary, but has not yet learned the identity of the killer. He does not recall where he hid the diary, and needs to take a nap to remember. Sterling offers to inject him with a "sedative". Wright, fearing the syringe, leads them all on a merry chase, ending when he hits Sterling on the head with a vase. The vase smashes, revealing the diary, which Whittaker picks up. He examines it and realizes that Sterling is the murderer. The police arrive at the camp, enter the tomb, and bring Sterling to justice. The Egyptian spy who warned Wright over the phone turns out to be an Egyptian secret policeman, Rasheed Bey (Francis McDonald), who was investigating Sterling. At the fadeout, Wright has something he wants to say to Mary, but can't remember what it is. ===== In Pennsylvania, a Boy Scout leader is killed in an apparent freak lightning incident after investigating a mysterious humming sound. His body is found floating above the ground, warranting the intervention of Agent Phil Coulson and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Agents Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons are unable to determine the cause of death. Satellites pick up another lightning event not far from the first, and Coulson, with Agents Melinda May and Grant Ward, arrives at the source to find a second body, floating like the first. Civilian hacker and S.H.I.E.L.D. trainee Skye discovers that the two victims were both volunteer firefighters from the same station who responded to the Battle of New York. At the firehouse they discover a third firefighter, Tony Diaz, who can hear a strange humming sound. Satellites pick up a third electrical event at the firehouse, as May discovers a Chitauri helmet in Diaz's possession—a souvenir from the Battle of New York. Diaz and the other victims had been cleaning 'rust' from the helmet several nights earlier, and Simmons deduces that they were all infected with an alien virus. Coulson helps Diaz come to terms with his situation, before leaving him to die. Aboard the Bus (the plane that serves as the agents' mobile base) the team are transporting the helmet to the Sandbox, a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, when Coulson realizes that Simmons has been infected as well. She gives herself only 2 hours to live, but the plane is above the Atlantic Ocean and at least 3 hours from land. Agent Felix Blake at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters orders Coulson to dump her off the plane rather than risk the safety of the rest of the team, but Coulson refuses.

From Northwood Headquarters she takes command of a mission to capture three of the ten highest-level Al-Shabaab leaders, who are meeting in a safehouse in Nairobi. A multinational team works on the capture mission, linked together by video and voice systems. Aerial surveillance is provided by a USAF MQ-9 Reaper drone controlled from Creech Air Force Base in Nevada by Second Lieutenant Steve Watts. Undercover Kenyan field agents, including Jama Farah, use short-range ornithopter and insectothopter cameras to link in ground intelligence. Kenyan special forces are positioned nearby to make the arrest. Facial recognition to identify human targets is done at Joint Intelligence Center Pacific at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The mission is supervised in the United Kingdom by a COBRA meeting that includes British Lieutenant General Frank Benson, two full government ministers and a ministerial under-secretary. Farah discovers that the three high-level targets are now arming two suicide bombers for what is presumed to be an attack on a civilian target. Powell decides that the imminent bombing changes the mission objective from "capture" to "kill". She requests Watts to prepare a precision Hellfire missile attack on the building, and solicits the opinion of her British Army legal counsel. To her frustration, her counsel advises her to seek approval from superiors. Benson asks permission from the COBRA members, who fail to reach a decision and refer the question up to the UK Foreign Secretary, presently on a trade mission to Singapore. He does not offer a definite answer and defers to the United States Secretary of State, who immediately declares the American suicide bomber an enemy of the state. The Foreign Secretary then insists that COBRA take due diligence to minimise collateral damage. Alia, who lives next door, is now near the target building selling her mother's bread. The senior military personnel stress the risk of letting would-be suicide bombers leave the house. The lawyers and politicians involved in the chain of command argue the personal, political and legal merits of and justification for launching a Hellfire missile attack in a friendly country not at war with the US or UK, with the significant risk of collateral damage. Watts can see the more direct risk of little Alia selling bread outside the targeted building, and they seek to delay firing the missile until she moves. Farah is directed to try and buy all of Alia's bread so she will leave, but after paying her his cover is blown and he is forced to flee without collecting it. Seeking authorisation to execute the strike, Powell orders her risk-assessment officer to find parameters that will let him quote a lower 45% risk of civilian deaths. He re-evaluates the strike point and assesses the probability of Alia's death at 45–65%. She makes him confirm only the lower figure, and then reports this up the chain of command. The strike is authorised, and Watts fires a missile. The explosion destroys the building and injures Alia, but one conspirator survives. Watts is ordered to fire a second missile, which strikes the site just as Alia's parents reach her. They rush Alia to a hospital, where she dies. In the London situation room, the under- secretary tearfully berates Benson for killing from the safety of his chair. Benson counters that he has been on the ground at five suicide bombings and adds: "Never tell a soldier that he does not know the cost of war." ===== ===== Mercedes Mallea (María Félix) is a woman who married when she was almost a child, and became widowed while she was still young and attractive.

In order to save herself, she double-crosses Williams, and Daniels is able to arrest him and send him back to prison. Knowing that it was Grace who gave him up, Williams secretly escapes from prison and tracks her down, killing her. He then returns to prison by hitching a ride on a truck, before anyone notices that he is gone. Again to prevent identification, he plants a bomb in the truck, which explodes after dropping him off near the prison, killing the driver.

However, Detective Daniels follows Williams to the company at night, where he interrupts Williams in the process of the robbery. Williams turns the tables on Daniels and is about to shoot him, when John shows up. He had suspected his son might be up to something and had also followed him that night.

Afterwards, while Lawrence dozes off, Jack and Maggie locate the cat after he accidentally re-activates Edison and Jack pursues the kitten. Before Jack can throw him out again, Lawrence wakes up and picks up the kitten and decides to adopt him, naming him Thunder (after his fear of lightning). Thunder learns more about the house, as well as the romantic pigeon pair named Carlo and Carla. Meanwhile, Jack and Maggie try by all ways to exile Thunder from the house, jealous and afraid of being substituted. The next day, refusing to be left behind, Thunder is incorporated into the "rabbit out of a hat" routine in the magic show performed for some children at a hospital, to much fanfare.

Once again, the major characters are the children of the characters who were seen in the first two novels. The novel covers a range of world events during the period, often from multiple points of view. These include the civil rights movement in the US, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal and the Solidarity movement in Poland. The novel also covers a range of personal events. Others tour the world as reporters or aides to major political figures. Characters in the US work (under six presidents) to overcome prejudice and discrimination and to win the Cold War. Characters in East Berlin and Moscow work (under five different Soviet leaders), subtly at first and then more overtly, to bring about the start of the fall of Communism. And a family split apart by the construction of the Berlin wall is eventually re- united the night that wall comes down. Unlike the first two volumes, which gave considerable attention to British politics and charted the rise of the British Labor Party to prominence, culminating with the party's victory under Clement Attlee in 1945, this subject is nearly absent from the present volume. In the course of the book's plot, most British characters move to the United States and become involved in its politics, rather than the British ones. For example, the 1979 elections victory of Margaret Thatcher gets no reference at all in the book, though it happened in the period covered by it. ===== Set in a 1996 Nigeria, a Lagos shop-owner, Musa returns to his hometown in Northern Nigeria after his shop was set ablaze in Lagos due to political unrests in the state by opposing parties.

The main character of the series is six-year-old Annemarie Braun. Since she is eleven years old at the outbreak of World War I, she must have been born in 1903. Volume 1 thus takes place in the German Empire. The family lives in the Berlin district, Charlottenburg, on Knesebeckstraße. Annemarie's father is Dr. Edmund Braun. Her mother Elsbeth is a housewife. Annemarie's older brothers are the virtuous Hans (the oldest) and the cheeky Klaus. The boys personify polar opposites, the two sides of Annemarie's character: on the one hand the wild, curious and venturesome Klaus, on the other hand, the honest, hard-working, industrious Hans. As the youngest child in the family, Annemarie is referred to as "Nesthäkchen," but she is also nicknamed "Lotte." Other residents of the Braun home are the cook Hanne, who refers to Annemarie as "her" child; the maid Frieda; the nanny Lena, called "Fräulein" by Annemarie; the dog Puck and Annemarie's canary Antics. The extended family includes a maternal grandmother and grandmother's sister Albertina. Mother Elsbeth's sister Kate lives on an estate in Silesia, "Arnsdorf," with Uncle Henry and her children Ellie, Herbert and Peter. Nesthäkchen and Her Dolls describes the everyday adventures of little Annemarie in the years 1909 and 1910. Because Annemarie is a "higher daughter," she is not allowed to play with the other (socially subordinate) children in the courtyard and she spends most of her time with her dolls. Her favorite is the doll Gerda. Often the "thoughts" of the dolls are portrayed. They represent moral authority and are the voice of Else Ury (for example, "Annemarie knew that doll Gerda did not agree with…"). When Gerda's doll wig comes off, Annemarie cuts off one of her own braids, which she believes will grow on her bald doll's head. To escape the chaos of house cleaning, Annemarie must usually go for a walk with her nanny. Annemarie hopes for rain. She has heard that when it rains, "the barometer falls" and decides to help by taking Father's barometer off the wall and dropping it on the floor. An organ grinder makes Annemarie forget the prohibition of playing with socially subordinate children. She dances with the other children in the courtyard and runs with them, behind the hurdy-gurdy man, through the streets of Charlottenburg. With a sailor girl, Lina, Annemarie trades her fine shoes for Lina's clogs. Annemarie visits her relatives on their estate, Arnsdorf, where the sheltered city child experiences the freedom of unsupervised play outdoors for the first time. As Annemarie is bored at home, her mother sends her to a nursery school, a surprisingly modern choice in the early 20th century. The book ends with the celebration of Christmas and a reflection on Annemarie's upcoming first school year. Annemarie holds a doll wedding to say farewell to her toys. ===== A milquetoast bank clerk finds himself stuck in a speeding trailer towed by gangsters after a bank robbery goes awry.

Blane doublecrosses Wilton, and really kidnaps Keene, taking him to Devers' hideout.

The investigation begins to take its toll on the team: reporter Matt Carroll learns one of the priest treatment centers is on the same block as his family's home but is unable to tell his children or his neighbors; reporter Sacha Pfeiffer finds herself unable to attend church with her Nana after witnessing the sheer scope of the investigation; Rezendes pushes to get the story out quickly to prevent further abuse; and Robinson faces pushback from some of his close friends whom he learns were complicit in covering up the abuse. When the September 11 attacks occur, the team is forced to de-prioritize the story. They regain momentum when Rezendes learns from Garabedian that there are publicly available documents that confirm Cardinal Law was made aware of the abuse and ignored it. Although Rezendes argues vociferously to run the story immediately before more victims suffer and rival newspapers publish, Robinson remains steadfast to research further so that the systemic problem can be more fully exposed. After the Globe wins a case to have even more legal documents unsealed that provide the evidence of that larger picture, the Spotlight team finally begins to write the story and plan to publish their findings in early 2002. As they are about to go to print, Robinson confesses to the team that he was sent a list of twenty pedophile priests by lawyer Eric MacLeish in 1993, which he never followed up. But Baron still commends him and his team's efforts to expose the crimes now. The story goes to print with a web link to the documents that expose Cardinal Law's inaction and a phone number for victims of pedophile priests. The following morning, the Spotlight team finds itself inundated with phone calls from victims coming forward to tell their stories. A textual epilogue notes that Cardinal Law resigned in December 2002 and was eventually promoted to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, before presenting a list of places in the United States and around the world where major scandals involving abuse by priests have taken place. ===== Because the corrupt sheriff, Jud Cronin, won't leave her alone, schoolteacher Virginia King decides to leave Mesa City for good.

Caribbean Digital, May 13, 2015 ===== Twelve years after he exposed Operation Blackbriar and disappeared, Jason Bourne has finally recovered from his amnesia, isolating himself from the world and making a living by taking part in savage, bareknuckle fighting bouts. In Reykjavík, Nicky Parsons, who has been collaborating with a hacktivist group led by Christian Dassault, hacks into the CIA's mainframe computer server to expose its black ops programs. This alerts Heather Lee, the head of the agency's cybersecurity operations division, and CIA director Robert Dewey. In the process, Parsons finds documentation concerning Bourne's recruitment into Treadstone and his father's role in the program. She travels to Athens to find and inform him. In Greece, Parsons and Bourne meet at Syntagma Square during a violent anti- government protest. They evade CIA teams sent after them, but Parsons is shot by the Asset, an ex-Blackbriar assassin who also holds a personal grudge against Bourne, having been captured and tortured as an unintentional consequence of Bourne's exposure of Blackbriar. Before she dies, Parsons passes Bourne the key to a locker which holds the CIA files. Seeking answers about his past and family, Bourne locates Dassault in Berlin. Decrypting Parsons' files, Bourne discovers that his father Richard Webb was a CIA analyst involved in the creation of the Treadstone program. A malware program implanted in the files gives the CIA Bourne's location, and Dewey sends a team to capture him, while Lee remotely erases the files. Dassault attacks Bourne, but is incapacitated. Lee alerts Bourne to the team closing in, as she believes that he can be persuaded to return to the agency. Using the few leads he gathered in Berlin, Bourne tracks Malcolm Smith, a former Treadstone surveillance operative, in London and arranges to meet him in Paddington Plaza. Lee persuades Dewey's boss, Edwin Russell, the Director of National Intelligence, to allow her to contact Bourne in person to attempt to bring him back in. Dewey, who opposes her plan, secretly authorizes the Asset to eliminate her team and kill Bourne. Bourne evades Lee and the Asset long enough to confront Smith. Smith admits that Richard Webb created Treadstone, but tried to prevent them from recruiting his son. Under Dewey's orders, the Asset killed Richard Webb in Beirut, making it look like a terrorist attack, in order to persuade Bourne to join Treadstone. Smith is killed by the Asset, while Bourne escapes and finds Lee. She admits that she is not comfortable with Dewey's methods and directs Bourne to a technology convention in Las Vegas. Dewey is scheduled to attend the convention for a public debate on privacy rights with Aaron Kalloor, CEO of social media giant Deep Dream. Kalloor is the public face of corporate social responsibility in the Internet age, but he was secretly funded by Dewey in the startup stage. Dewey intends to use Deep Dream for real-time mass surveillance alongside the latest incarnation of the CIA's targeted assassination 'Beta' program, known as "Iron Hand", a much more ruthless and sinister version of Blackbriar in which the assassin can intentionally murder anyone to get to the target. When Kalloor has second thoughts about giving the CIA access to Deep Dream, Dewey authorizes the Asset to assassinate Kalloor and Lee—having discovered her conspiracy moments ago. Bourne thwarts the assassinations and confronts Dewey in his suite. Dewey appeals to Bourne's sense of patriotism as he stalls for time, before his right-hand man Craig Jeffers intervenes. Bourne kills Jeffers, only to get shot in the process; however, he is saved when Lee shoots Dewey dead before he could shoot Bourne. After covering Lee's involvement in Dewey's death, Bourne pursues the Asset on the Las Vegas Strip and chases him down into the sewers after the pair end up crashing into a casino; they engage in a savage fight that ends with Bourne snapping the Asset's neck, killing him and avenging Parsons. In the aftermath, Lee convinces Russell that Dewey's methods were outdated and offers herself as Dewey's replacement as CIA director and Russell's eyes and ears within the CIA. She outlines her plan to use Bourne's trust to bring him back to the agency, but is prepared to kill him if he refuses. Lee meets with Bourne, promising him that the CIA will become the organization he thought it was when he joined. Bourne asks for time to consider her offer and walks away. Lee returns to her car and finds a recording, made by Bourne, of the conversation she had with Russell which reveals her true intentions about murdering Bourne as she says "...then, he'll have to be put down." ===== Mississippi bluesman I.

The people of Dungatar sent Tilly away at the age of ten because of false accusations of murder, after the death of fellow student Stewart Pettyman. Tilly, an expert dressmaker trained by Madeleine Vionnet in Paris, starts a dressmaking business and transforms the locals with her couture creations. Many of the townsfolk who revile her nevertheless arrange for her to make them couture outfits. Sergeant Farrat, the town's policeman with an eye for beautiful fashion, liaises with Tilly in exchange for dressmaking assistance and design advice. Ted, the eldest son of the town's poor family, begins to pursue Tilly, and tries to assist her in standing up to the vicious gossip and small-minded attitudes of the townsfolk. Most of the women in town arrange for Tilly to create individual gowns for the town dance. She also makes her own frock, but when she and Teddy, the towns heartthrob, arrive at the dance, her name has been removed from all the tables in the hall, and one of the townsfolk blocks the door to stop her coming in. Teddy finds her crying outside, and takes her back to his ramshackle caravan. There, he helps her remember the 'murder' she doesn't remember committing: as a bastard child, she was teased and bullied unmercifully by the rest of the town children. One day Stewart Pettyman, the abusive and physical bully, cornered her and charged at her, head-down like a bull, intending to wind her and probably injure her severely. Instead, she stood aside at the last moment, and Stewart hit the wall head on at a run and broke his neck. Sergeant Farrat arranged for her to go to a Melbourne boarding school, from where she began her dressmaking education. Tilly and Teddy make love, then, later on top of a silo, he tells her of the fun he had as a boy, jumping into the town's wheat bins. He then proceeds to do it, despite Tilly's warning cries. The silo holds sorghum instead of wheat, and Teddy suffocates as he sinks into the grain. Tilly remains in town, and as the townsfolk blame her for Ted's death and abandon her again, she begins making clothing for the neighbouring towns' women. A town-based rivalry begins. Then Molly Dunnage dies. Shortly afterwards, one of the town's meanest gossips is critically injured while she is snooping, and the town's chemist drowns. Both of these deaths are accidents. Tilly proceeds to tell the town councilman's wife, Marigold Pettyman, the truth about Tilly's heritage and Stewart's death, that Councilman Evan Pettyman is Tilly's father and he has also been drugging Marigold and assaulting her at night. Marigold then murders her husband and attempts to commit suicide using the same drug her husband used on her. The sergeant is horrified when a District Inspector comes to investigate the sudden surge of deaths. Tilly, while fitting one of the women from the neighbouring town, hears of an upcoming Eisteddfod and suggests that drama should be included. The local townsfolk come to her to make the costumes for their version of Macbeth, which they do not know and want to have staged in Baroque costumes. Tilly refuses to do so unless she is paid for past work and upfront for the costumes. The money is taken from funds which should have been sent off to insure the town's buildings. Tilly makes all the costumes, and watches as the entire town departs to either participate or watch the performance. She then covers the town in petrol and sets her house on fire, taking only her sewing machine, Tilly leaves by train; leaving the burnt town for the locals to discover after the show. ===== A single mother wants to find a father figure for her 7-year-old son. A visitor from the North helps her regain the Spirit of Christmas and find the father figure she was seeking. ===== ===== ===== In 2002, Bolivian politician Pedro Castillo (a fictionalized version of presidential candidate Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada) hires an American political consulting firm (based on James Carville's Greenberg Carville Shrum firm) to help him win the 2002 Bolivian presidential election. The firm brings in "Calamity" Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock) to manage Castillo's fledging campaign. The opposition's top political consultant is her nemesis, fellow American Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton). In Bolivia, the situation is tense: Bodine learns that the indigenous people, who are a majority in the country but lack any real political power, are protesting for constitutional reform to get proper representation. The American consultants, not knowing the language or the culture of Bolivia, are persuaded by Bodine, a burned out veteran of American politics, to follow a strategy of smear campaigning to make up for their candidate's shortcomings. However, Castillo refuses to give permission for the team to do so. It is only after Bodine arranges for the distribution of a flyer accusing Castillo of a long-ago affair (and blaming it on the opposition) does she finally get him to agree to smear his opponents likewise. In the following months, the team exercises a strategy of "declaring a crisis". They plan to frighten the people, with the aim of persuading them to vote for the unsympathetic but known Castillo rather than the younger opposition candidates. They even resort to publishing photos of their enemy with Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie in the background, so that he has to deny being a Nazi. Castillo's bus is stopped by a group of protesters who don't want the International Monetary Fund in Bolivia. Castillo promises them that he will not invite the IMF without a public referendum. Eduardo, a young volunteer of the Castillo campaign, is deeply impressed by this show of commitment. His loyalty comes mostly from the fact that Castillo, who was President at the time, took a young Eduardo on his arm during a rally in his town. Nevertheless, his brothers are much more skeptical about Castillo. During the final debate, Bodine cites a quote in a conversation with Candy (knowing that he'll give it to rival candidate Rivera for his speech) saying that "a great man" said it. Unfortunately, the quote is actually from Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's minister of propaganda. Castillo wins the vote by a small margin. As one of his first actions, he invites the IMF into Bolivia, thereby breaking his promise. The deeply disappointed Eduardo visits Bodine in her hotel; Bodine replies that she is not responsible for Castillo's actions. In her eyes, her job is done. The disillusioned Eduardo joins his brothers at a demonstration of people demanding change. The police arrive and the demonstration quickly turns into a riot. Bodine and her crew join Candy on the way to the airport. All of them, except Bodine, have already taken jobs as political consultants in other countries. When Bodine realizes that she brought a liar into office, she has the car stopped and leaves to join Eduardo. ===== ===== Little Ball (Ng Man-tat) is a retired police officer who works as a beverage server in a bar.

However, Laugh-O-Gram Studios goes bankrupt shortly after. Walt moves to Los Angeles in 1923, living with his relatives, relying on Roy for financial support.

It also becomes apparent that Mintz continues to own the rights to all of the studio's creations. The Alice Comedies come to an end, and Walt and Iwerks create Oswald the Lucky Rabbit for Universal Studios. Guessing that the Disney brothers are running out of money, George begins talking with the animators, inviting them to join Mintz' new studio for better payment. Iwerks is the only one who refuses the offer. Walt and Lillian travel to New York, hoping to negotiate for a larger fee to make the Oswald shorts. Walt discovers a new contract would surrender all ownership of the Disney studios to Mintz, whose distributor Universal already owns the rights to Oswald, and learns his animators have left. Refusing to agree to the terms, Walt leaves Mintz and Oswald behind. On the train back to Los Angeles, Walt is inspired to create a new character which he owns the rights to. He and Iwerks subsequently create Mickey Mouse. In 1928, Mickey's first short Plane Crazy is screened, and met with a round of applause. Walt, Roy, and Iwerks exit the theatre in celebration, Walt spotting the mouse from the Laugh-O-Gram Studio, reminding him of how far he has come.

Mrs. Bennet only wants to see her daughters married off to wealthy suitors. The Bennets attend a country dance also attended by newcomers Colonel Darcy, his good friend the amiable Charles Bingley and Bingley's snobbish sister Caroline. There, the young and handsome Bingley falls for lovely, sweet natured Jane. Charles Bingley has inherited £100,000 (£ million today)—attracting Mrs. Bennet's attention as a desirable suitor for her daughter. When zombies attack the ball, the Bennet sisters fight them off, and Colonel Darcy, a skilled zombie-killer, who was trained in Japanese martial arts – with property that pays him £10,000 annually (£ today) – is attracted to Elizabeth, although his behavior is outwardly aloof. During the ball, Darcy is disgusted to overhear Mrs. Bennet's mercenary delight that Jane has attracted a rich man. On the way to the Bingleys' some days later, Jane is attacked by a zombie and catches a fever. Darcy orders her confined in fear that she may have been bitten, but her illness is not zombie-related and she recovers.

Darcy later writes Elizabeth a letter to apologize. He regrets that he separated Jane and Bingley, fearing that Jane only wanted to marry Bingley for his wealth.

He is assigned to protect Prince Ahmed de Granada from the Knights Templar. In 1986, adolescent Callum "Cal" Lynch finds his mother killed by his father, Joseph, a modern-day Assassin. Gunmen led by Alan Rikkin, CEO of the Templars' Abstergo Foundation, arrive to capture Joseph, who convinces his son to escape. In 2016, Cal is sentenced to death for murdering a pimp, but his execution is faked by the Abstergo Foundation, which then takes him to their research facility in Madrid. He is told that the Templars are searching for the Apple of Eden, in order to eliminate violence by using the Apple's code to control humanity's free will. Sofia, Alan's daughter and the head scientist, reveals that Cal is a descendant of Aguilar, the last person confirmed to be in possession of the Apple. She puts Cal in the Animus, a machine which allows him to relive (and the scientists to observe) Aguilar's genetic memories, so that Abstergo can learn what he did with the Apple. In 15th-century Spain, Aguilar and his partner, Maria, are deployed to rescue Ahmed, who has been kidnapped by the Templar Grand Master Tomas de Torquemada, to coerce Ahmed's father, Sultan Muhammad XII, to surrender the Apple. Aguilar and Maria intercept the Templars, but are overpowered and captured by Torquemada's enforcer, Ojeda. Cal is quickly pulled out of the Animus by Sofia. Cal encounters other Assassin descendants held captive at the facility, most of whom are suspicious of his motives, with the exceptions of Lin, the descendant of a 16th-century Chinese Assassin known as Shao Jun; and Moussa, the descendant of an 18th- century Haitian Assassin named Baptiste and a key leader. Cal begins experiencing hallucinations, dubbed "the Bleeding Effect", of both Aguilar and Joseph. Cal and Sofia build a rapport during their sessions; she confides that her mother was likewise murdered by an Assassin, sharing his hatred of the Brotherhood of which his father is a member. Back in the Animus, Aguilar and Maria are scheduled for execution at an auto da fe but he manages to free them, leading to a rooftop chase in which they escape through an Assassin "Leap of Faith". Cal's mind reacts violently to the session and he is temporarily paralyzed. When Cal learns that his father is also at the facility, he confronts Joseph over his mother's death. Joseph informs him that the Bleeding Effect will allow modern Cal to possess Aguilar's combat abilities. He also learns that his mother was an Assassin, and she chose to die by Joseph's hand rather than be forced into the Animus. Unconvinced, Cal vows to destroy the Assassins by finding the Apple. Meanwhile, Alan is pressured by a Templar Elder, Ellen Kaye, to shut down the multibillion-dollar Animus Project because they have already "won ... people no longer care about their civil liberties ... they're content to follow", leading Sofia to question her father's true intentions. Reaffirmed by his encounter with his father, Cal willingly enters the Animus once again, whereupon Aguilar and Maria ambush a meeting between Muhammad and Torquemada.

The team consists of elite hitman Floyd Lawton / Deadshot, former psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn, pyrokinetic ex-gangster Chato Santana / El Diablo, opportunistic thief George "Digger" Harkness / Captain Boomerang, mutant Waylon Jones / Killer Croc, and mercenary Christopher Weiss / Slipknot. They are placed under command of Colonel Rick Flag to be used as disposable assets in high-risk missions for the United States government. A nanite bomb is implanted in the neck of each team member, designed to be detonated should the member rebel or try to escape. One of Waller's intended recruits is Flag's girlfriend Dr. June Moone, an archaeologist possessed by a demonic witch known as the "Enchantress". She quickly turns on Waller for imprisoning her, deciding to eradicate humankind with a mystical weapon. She besieges Midway City by transforming its populace into a horde of monsters, and summons her brother Incubus to assist her. Waller deploys the squad to extract a high-profile target from Midway, which is reported to be under a terrorist attack. Joining them is Katana, a Japanese swordswoman and Rick's bodyguard. Meanwhile, Harley's lover, Gotham City crime boss Joker, finds out about her predicament and tortures Belle Reve security officer Griggs into leading him to the facility where the nanite bombs are made. There, he blackmails Dr. Van Criss into disabling Harley's bomb. Upon arrival in Midway City, the squad's helicopter is shot down, forcing them to proceed on foot to their target. Boomerang convinces Slipknot that the bombs are a ruse to keep them in check: the latter attempts to escape and is killed when Flag detonates his bomb. Meanwhile, the squad is ambushed by Enchantress' minions. They eventually fight their way through to a safe house, where they learn that their mark is Waller herself, who is attempting to cover up her involvement in Enchantress' siege. The squad escorts Waller to the rooftop for extraction, but the arriving helicopter has been hijacked by the Joker and his men, who open fire on the squad. Harley's bomb is disarmed by Dr. Van Criss, leaving Flag unable to execute her and allowing her to climb aboard the helicopter. Waller's men subsequently shoot down the helicopter, and Harley falls out while the Joker is presumed dead, after which Harley rejoins the squad. Alerted to Waller's whereabouts, Enchantress' minions arrive and kidnap her. Deadshot finds Waller's confidential files, from which he learns the truth about Enchantress, which Flag then is forced to confirm. This causes the squad members to abandon him. With Waller compromised, Flag relieves the squad of the mission but chooses to continue. Realizing they have an opportunity to prove themselves, the squad soon rejoin him and locate Enchantress at a partially-flooded subway station. Killer Croc and a group of Navy SEALs, led by Lieutenant GQ Edwards, go underwater to plant a bomb underneath Incubus. El Diablo embraces his abilities and distracts Incubus long enough for the bomb to detonate underneath, killing them both as well as Edwards. The remaining squad members battle Enchantress together but are ultimately defeated. Enchantress offers to fulfil their deepest desires in exchange for their allegiance, and Harley feigns interest in order to get close enough to cut out Enchantress' heart. Killer Croc then throws explosives into Enchantress' weapon and Deadshot shoots them, destroying the device. Flag crushes Enchantress' heart, finally freeing June from the curse. Waller, still alive, emerges, and the squad members are returned to Belle Reve with ten years off their sentences and (with the exception of Captain Boomerang) allowed special privileges. The Joker, alive and unscathed, breaks into the penitentiary and rescues Harley. In a mid-credits scene, Waller meets with Bruce Wayne, who agrees to protect her from the backlash against her role in Enchantress' rampage in exchange for access to the government's files on the expanding metahuman community.

Unni also starts to believe in astrology after the death of his beloved wife Shyama. Unni did not believed in astrology earlier. So, he married Shyama, the girl whom he loved, at a registrar office against the wishes of his parents, with help of his friends and bride's family. After the marriage, Unni's parents reluctantly welcomed the newly wedded couple to their ancestral house. When Unni's parents checked the compatibility between the star signs of Unni and Shyama, they understood that the duo was not at all compatible. Shyama's horoscope had kuja dosha, which would cause early death to her husband. The family did many pujas to save the life of Unni. What really happened was the death of Shyama. She accidentally fell into a well near the kavu (a place where serpents are worshipped). The sudden death of Shyama makes Unni depressed. Unni's parents want him to get married again. But, he prefers to live with memories of his wife Shyama. A peppy-chirpy girl named Malini, aka Malu comes to the village where Unni and his parents live. Malini's father is a retired professor who is a free thinker. They do not believe in astrology. Malini and her family visit Unni's house. Unni's father and Malini's father are childhood friends, just like Unni and Malini. When Unni sees Malini playing with his scooter, he scolds her. She gets angry. She decides to get him married again. Her futile as well as playful efforts to befriend Unni, crosses all the limits, when she accidentally breaks the photo of Shyama, which infuriates Unni.

So, they secretly get the horoscope of Malini with the aid of their family astrologer and check whether it matches with the horoscope of their son. Horoscopes of Unni and Malini match very well. So, Unni's father tells Malini's father about his wish to get Malini as his daughter in law. Malu's father gives consent for the marriage of Unni and Malini by ignoring the protest raised by his elder son and his daughter-in-law. Unni and Malini get married with blessings of their family. They enjoy marital bliss during the 1st few months of their marriage. Malini gets pregnant which adds more happiness to their married life. Unni's parents decided to see horoscope for the child to be born and astrologer says that child will not have a long life. So he suggested a few remedies, one of them is that Malini has to wear a sacred rope on her waist. When Unni brings it and asks Malini to tie that rope, she playfully says to Unni that her horoscope (Jaathakam) given prior to the wedding may not be accurate. The Unni's family verifies and finds out that Malini's horoscope doesn't match with Unni's. Then, they try to dissolve the marriage - by mentally torturing Malini and tearing apart Unni between his family and his wife in the process. But, Malini is adamant. She is not ready to give up. Malini's brother (an army officer) comes in and tries to take control of the situation. It is then that the story takes a complete twist leading to a fast-paced later half.

His father's servant confesses to Unni that he witnessed Unni's father killing Shyama (his 1st wife) to save Unni's life. Unni is shocked to hear this. When Unni asks his father whether what he heard is true or not, his fathers nods. Unni blames his father for ruining his life. When Unni arrives with police to arrest his father, what he sees, is his father's dead body. Appukuttan Nair had committed suicide out of guilt. In the end, Unni and Malini are re-united because Unni's blind faith in astrology is collapsed. ===== Aravindan (Mammootty) is a bold journalist keen on exposing the illegal activities on M. S.

Chief Electronics Technician Michael "Mike" Williams and Offshore Installation Manager James "Mr. Jimmy" Harrell are surprised to learn that the workers assigned to test the integrity of recently completed cement work are being sent home early, without conducting a cement bond log (CBL), at the insistence of BP managers Donald Vidrine and Robert Kaluza. While Mike prepares the drilling team, including Caleb Holloway, Harrell meets with Vidrine and persuades him to conduct a test, which only serves to weaken the already poorly placed cement further. His patience thinning, and without waiting for Harrell to confirm the results, Vidrine orders the well to be flowed. At first, the operation goes smoothly, but the cement job eventually fails completely, triggering a massive blowout that overpowers and kills the drill team members Keith Manuel, Shane Roshto, Roy Kemp, Karl Kleppinger, Adam Weise, and Gordon Jones. A chain of equipment malfunctions, coupled with a failed attempt to seal the well, ignites the oil, killing Dewey Revette, Stephen Curtis, Jason Anderson, and Donald Clark. Andrea Fleytas, the rig's Dynamic Position Operator, tries to alert the Coast Guard, only to be overruled by her superior, Captain Curt Kuchta, on the grounds that the rig is not in any imminent danger, at least until the rig erupts in flames, then Kuchta sends out his own call for help. With oil now spewing into the ocean, an oil-covered pelican flies into the bridge of a nearby vessel, the Damon Bankston, and dies; the vessel heads towards the rig just as the workers begin a frantic evacuation, sending out a rescue team after seeing the rig burst into flames.

Aaron Dale Burkeen, a close friend of Mike's, sacrifices himself to keep a burning crane from collapsing onto the surviving crew, while Mike and Caleb are able to rescue Vidrine and Kaluza and get them to safety. As night falls and the burning oil lights up the area, the Coast Guard becomes aware of the incident and sends a ship to rescue the survivors, who are being ferried in the lifeboats to the Damon Bankston. With all the lifeboats full, Mike locates the emergency life raft, but it becomes separated from the rig before he and Andrea can board, causing the latter to suffer a panic attack. Just as the oil in the well itself ignites and destroys the rig, the two jump into the water and are picked up by rescuers, who then ferry them to the Damon Bankston, where the surviving crew mourn their lost crewmen and say the Lord's Prayer. Returned home, the workers reunite with their families in a hotel lobby, during which the father of one of the crew members reprimands Mike, asking where his son is and if he got off the rig, resulting in Mike having a panic attack himself.
