It is heavily implied that Elaine murdered him. Once there, she rents an apartment in a Victorian home owned by Elaine's mentor Barbara and kept up by its interior decorator, Trish Manning. Trish takes Elaine to a teahouse and while they get to know one another, her husband Richard arrives to the women only restaurant. Since he is standing behind her, Trish doesn't realize that he became besotted with Elaine at first sight. Ignoring his obvious interest, Elaine performs a ritual to find a new lover and soon meets Wayne, a literature professor at the local college. The two buy groceries and travel to Wayne's cabin, where she makes them dinner and gets him to drink a concoction containing berries, alcohol and hallucinogens. The two have sex, after which Wayne becomes emotional and clingy, which she isn't happy with. Throughout the night he calls out for her while she sleeps on the couch. She makes him breakfast that he doesn't eat due to his grief from believing that the previous night was a nightmare. When she tries to wake him later, she finds him dead and mourns before burying his body along with a witch bottle containing her urine and used tampon. She decides that the next man she will try to seduce will be Richard since he is married and can't obsess over her. While Trish is away, Elaine invites him over to her apartment, where she also serves him a concoction before seducing him with a dance. The night ends with them having sex. Afterwards, Richard does become obsessed with Elaine, causing her to abandon their affair. He then drinks himself into a stupor while ignoring Trish. Unbeknownst to Elaine, one of Wayne's colleagues has reported him missing, leading to police officer Griff to investigate and discover Wayne's body and Elaine's witch bottle at his cabin. He traces it to Elaine who denies knowing or recognizing Wayne. Over his interrogation, he falls in love with her. Elaine shares his love and believes him to be the man of her dreams since it was foretold in her tarot card readings. She even has her coven hold a mock wedding for them at a Renaissance faire they come across while horseback riding. Griff's superior educates him on the tenuous peace between the town and the witches then tells him to abandon the pursuit of Elaine as a suspect. When his partner Steve pushes him, he reveals that Wayne died of a heart attack and that the devil's weed found in his system grew around his cabin. For the first time it is revealed that Jerry died shortly before remarrying - from a drug overdose even though he didn't take drugs. Trish finds Richard has killed himself in the bathtub by slitting his wrists. Despondent, she invites Elaine to tea again and comments on how their lives have basically switched places since meeting. Trish tries on a ring that Griff gave Elaine during their mock wedding, only to forget to return it. After Elaine abruptly leaves, she calls to say that she will drop the ring off on her way home. When she does, she is intrigued by what she sees and begins to dress and make up like Elaine including her wig and lingerie. When she finds Elaine's altar, she continues to snoop and discovers that she was the woman Richard had the affair with. She is caught by Elaine and the two fight before Trish leaves the apartment with physical evidence. Elaine's coven does a love ritual for her and Griff. While Griff is at the strip bar, the employees express their dislike of the new dancers who are known to be friends of the witches. When Elaine arrives, he confronts her over the deaths of Wayne and Richard. He tells her that she is tied to both of them by DNA evidence and produces the items Trish took. Elaine explains how she came to be this way throughout her life and that being a witch is no longer a crime punishable by death. When Griff explains that she has to go to jail for the crimes she did commit even if they weren't murder, the eavesdropping employees realize she is a witch and call to burn her. Although he is upset with her, Griff helps her to escape back to her apartment, getting beaten up in the process. Once safe inside, Elaine concocts a drink for him like she did for the others, but he drops it on the floor instead of drinking it. Realizing that he was correct when telling her that no man can ever love her enough, she shrinks back in disbelief, grabs her athame and stabs him to death. With Griff dead, life has imitated art and matches the painting on the wall of them dressed like at their mock wedding and her kneeling over his body with a bloody dagger. In delirium, she smiles and imagines them at their wedding and that Griff actually proposed. ===== In the seventeenth century the Spanish governor of Naples harassed the population.

However, Bitty displays a fear of checking, often curling up into a ball on the ice when someone tries, earning him the ire of team captain Jack Zimmermann, the son of hockey legend Bad Bob Zimmermann and who hopes to revive his own failed professional career following a public overdose that forced Jack to drop out of the NHL draft. Nevertheless, Jack helps Bitty through his fear with early morning checking practices while Bitty finds the courage to come out as homosexual.

However, Jack helps Bitty through his checking phobia once more and he retains his spot on the team. Joining the team in Bitty's sophomore year are goalie Christopher "Chowder" Chow and defensemen William "Dex" Poindexter and Derek "Nursey" Nurse.

Due to his vocational education background, he is assigned to watch the rehabilitating prisoners at the prison's workshop. Later on, while helping a colleague, Sergeant Joseph, to clear some stores at the prison gallows, he encounters the Chief Executioner, Senior Chief Warder (1) Rahim. He volunteers to help Rahim find suitable rope for the gallows, and the two men soon strike up a friendship. At home, Aiman informs his older sister, Suhaila, of his encounter with the hangman. This puts a strain on the siblings' relationship; Suhaila is displeased with Aiman's dealings at work, particularly because their father was sentenced to death thirty years ago for murder, while Aiman appears to disapprove of Suhaila's relationship with John, an Australian expat. At work, Joseph reveals to Aiman that he has stepped down as Rahim's assistant because, when tasked with carrying out an execution, he could not bring himself to pull the lever. Aiman agrees to become Rahim's new apprentice. Suhaila calls Aiman to announce her engagement to John. Aiman does not take it well, and out of spite, tells Suhaila that he is now the hangman's assistant, greatly angering Suhaila. Meanwhile, Rahim teaches Aiman the tricks of the trade and shares his knowledge and experience with him, and their mentor-mentee bond grows stronger. Aiman finally receives first-hand experience with an execution. He ushers death-row inmate Randy to the gallows, where Rahim offers Randy words of consolation before performing the execution. Distraught with the experience, Aiman tries to call Suhaila to no avail. He rushes home to find the house empty; Suhaila has presumably left for Australia with John. In the meantime, Rahim checks on Aiman's security clearance and finds out that Aiman's father had been sentenced to death a long time ago. When Aiman returns to work, Rahim tells him that his father's criminal record ought to have precluded him from taking up a role pertaining to execution, and that his failure to disclose such was an offence. Aiman argues that his father's past should not have any bearing on his employment and others' impressions of him. The two men get into a heated argument; Aiman questions Rahim's ethics, and Rahim chides Aiman for speaking out of line. When things cool down, Rahim says Aiman can expect disciplinary actions. When Aiman returns home, he sends a voice message to Suhaila to let her know that he could lose his job. Rahim is involved in a road traffic accident and is hospitalized. Assistant Superintendent James Tan puts Aiman in charge of an upcoming execution, implying that not only might Aiman not have been charged, his career with the prisons department may have taken a turn for the better. The next morning, Suhaila calls Aiman about her arrival in Australia. She checks with Aiman to confirm if he will be charged; Aiman responds "maybe not". She then reassures him and lets him know that, as his older sister, she will always be there for him. The day of the execution arrives. The death-row inmate is ushered towards Aiman, with a number of important persons observing. Aiman leads the inmate to the gallows, puts the noose around the inmate's neck and places his hands on the lever that activates the trap doors.

On her way to London to pick up clothing for Kyra, Maureen receives a series of text messages from an unknown number, which she initially suspects may be her late brother Lewis. But the sender toys with Maureen and eventually encourages her to try on Kyra's clothes, which she has been forbidden to do. She goes back to Kyra's place and finally decides to do just that, trying on Kyra's clothes and becoming aroused by it. She spends the night in Kyra's bed in a dress collected from London. The female spectre then appears in the bedroom, causing Maureen to wake up suddenly. The next morning, Maureen visits Lara to tell her that there is no longer a supernatural presence in the mansion. The text sender continues, and suggests a meeting, leaving her a room key for a hotel. When she visits the room in one of Kyra's dresses, no one is there, but when she checks at the front desk, she discovers the room is booked in her name and has been pre-paid in cash.

He tells her there is nothing after death. Later, Maureen discovers the jewelry is in her apartment and the texter demands she return to the hotel room, which she does, with the jewelry.

However, Class 3-E is actually a cover up for the Japanese government in their attempt to assassinate Koro-sensei, a tentacled creature apparently responsible for the Moon's destruction. The students have to assassinate him before graduation using either a special knife or BB pellet, the time when he plans to destroy Earth, but at the same time also have to study both academic and assassination disciples from him. In teaching, Koro- sensei is assisted by the government-affiliated Tadaomi Karasuma and Irina Jelavić, a Serb assassin. Despite being fully aware that he is their ultimate target, Koro-sensei is able to bond with Class 3-E, who in turn regard him as their indispensable teacher. When asked why he took the job, he says it is done to fulfill a promise made to someone.

When the results for the finals are out, three students are able to jointly top the Home Economics test, thus granting seven students the chance to cut the tentacles. The students plan the killing during the summer holiday, where they reminisce about their kind past teacher, Aguri Yukimura. Eventually, Class 3-E manages to bind Koro-sensei thanks to Nagisa's observation of his weakness: water. However, Koro-sensei transforms into a ball to avoid being killed. Suddenly, the class is interrupted by a vengeful Takaoka, who poisons several students. He agrees to trade the antidotes for Koro-sensei. Nagisa and Karma team up to incapacitate Itona, now working for Takaoka, by luring him into open rain and subsequently cutting his tentacles. However, they are alerted by Ritsu that Takaoka has kidnapped Kaede Kayano and threatens to kill her unless Koro- sensei is handed over. With a trick, Class 3-E turns the table over and defeats Takaoka without giving in. Seeing that Koro-sensei is vulnerable, the government takes him and proceeds to do a public execution in front of his grieving students. However, he manages to survive the attempted killing and is allowed to continue teaching Class 3-E for the next term, with Itona now enrolling permanently.

After taking Aiko to safety, Kyosuke became Hentai Kamen and fought Goody Two-shoes Man. Kyosuke was weakened when the division wrapped him in clothes, taking away his perverted powers and got him beaten. However, Hentai Kamen found pleasure in the beating and Goody Two-shoes man became unhinged and lost the fight to Kyosuke. This would only be the start in a series of unusual men all meant to bring down Hentai Kamen. Pleasant Man arrived to the school and attempted to weaken Hentai Kamen with his pleasantness.

Unwilling to let this slide, Kyosuke found and confronted his doppelganger. Unfortunately, the pervert is more experienced than Kyosuke and draws his perversion powers through humiliation. With Hentai Kamen defeated, he was warned to never appear as Hentai Kamen ever again. With Kyosuke defeated, Tamao felt he has won the right to take over the school. However, many of the students refuse to accept his rule and it was met with limited resistance. Kyosuke searched and found Aiko and found out she has been in a hypnotic trance for some time. Kyosuke would bump into Towatari and realized he's the fake Hentai Kamen that's been defaming him. With his perverted powers weakened, Kyosuke couldn't call forth Hentai Kamen. Tamao had a face off with Kyosuke at their gym, while being beaten, Kyosuke realized he had to draw his powers from a different emotional spectrum and he drew it from justice. Able to draw his perverted powers from this new feeling, Kyosuke restored himself as Hentai Kamen and defeated Tamao in combat. However, Towatari still had Aiko as hostage. Challenging to a final showdown, the two perverts fought. More energized than ever, Kyosuke had the advantage and bested himself against Towatari. Both used their groin to use their Spinning Fire attack. However, Kyosuke had the advantage and power and defeated him. With his mask ruined, Aiko finally saw Kyosuke's face underneath the panties. Aiko has been emotionally confused as she have feelings for both Kyosuke and Hentai Kamen, but knowing they're the same person explains recent events. Tamao wasn't done with his rampage and made a powerful robot to destroy the school. To save it, Kyosuke asked Aiko for her panties and she reluctantly obliged. Now super charged with Aiko's panties, Hentai Kamen charged himself through the balls of the robot and finally ended Tomao. In the aftermath, Kyosuke had a wet dream about Aiko while in class and had a massive erection. While being called to stand in class to read, everyone realized Kyosuke was hard and he had to embarrassingly hide his erection. ===== ===== From the terrace of his building Professor Bellavista is observing Halley's comet.

They travel to Helsinki where his manager Elis Ask (Eero Milonoff) is preparing Olli's big break: a World Boxing Association featherweight championship title fight against renowned American boxer Davey Moore (John Bosco Jr.) in the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The match would be one of the biggest events in Finnish sporting history, even though most people – including Olli – are skeptical: Moore's record vastly outclasses Olli's. The preparations are not without problems: Olli is lightweight and has to lose enough weight within two weeks to reach featherweight, Elis' enthusiasm about the match includes hiring a documentary film crew who become increasingly disruptive as the preparations go on, and staging various dinner parties with the sponsors of the match which require the uncomfortable Olli to adhere to protocol. The circus around the match disheartens Olli, who falls more and more in love with Raija – Raija, however, feels she's a burden on Olli's preparation, and goes back to Kokkola. Olli has a hard time concentrating, and eventually follows Raija, much to the dismay of Elis, who is concerned that Olli won't make weight by the time the weigh-in comes, let alone be prepared for the match itself. Olli eventually persuades Elis to leave him to prepare on his own, and puts himself through a drastic process of losing weight: during the weigh-in, he barely makes weight, and on the same day, he proposes to Raija. As the match begins, Olli has a good start in the first round, but gets knocked down several times in the second and the referee calls for a technical knockout. While Elis is disappointed, Olli seems to be at peace with the loss, and quietly walks away from the post-match dinner with Raija. ===== Toshio (Furutachi), his wife Akie (Tsutsui), and their daughter Hotaru (Shinokawa) live a banal existence.

Many years later, Max returns to the United States, hoping to reunite with his former lover. The plot is broadly inspired by Max Frisch's 1975 novel Montauk. ===== The play begins with Antígona hanged in a white dress and a withered flower crown. She removes the rope around her neck and starts to sing the same song Ophelia sings in Shakespeare's Hamlet, after her character is driven insane by her lover. Two men, Coryphaeus and Antinous, are drinking coffee and mocking Antígona’s song. These two men will continue to follow her in her story, sometimes appearing as different characters in Antígona's life. Antígona asks about the dark drink at their table; when Coryphaeus tells her it’s coffee Antígona states the drink is dark as poison. Coryphaeus bursts into laughter, then pretends with great exaggeration that he is dying from its "poison," with Antinous quickly joining in. Antígona doesn’t seem to be fazed by their jokes, and as though she is dissociated from what she is doing, she grabs the crown on Coryphaeus’ head and smashes it, which causes yet another bout of laughter from the two men. The mocking they will continue to do alludes to the story of Antigone by Sophocles and how Polynices (Antigone/a's brother) was stripped of his title by King Creon, and refused proper burial whilst his other brother, Etecoles, was buried with honor. While the two finish laughing, Antígona begins to walk around the "bodies" of the un-buried, until she finds her brother, Polynices. She throws herself on top of him, protecting or attempting to revive him, and attempts to give him proper burial. Antinous remarks how she wasn't able to bury him, as the earth was too hard, and that is how the guards caught her. King Creon, through the character of Coryphaeus, approaches her and demands why she dare defy him, but she stands with her actions, and proceeds to mock her sister Ismene's cowardliness in refusing to bury her brother with her. King Creon then confronts his son and Antígona's former fiancée Haemon (who is embodied for a moment in Antígona,) and tells him he will not sway his decision to execute his bride- to-be. Haemon agrees he will not try to sway his decision, but responds Creon has condemned her unjustly, and refuses to spit in Antígona's face when he demands it. The events fall one right after the other, and the dialogue begins to discuss the day Antigone is to be sentenced to death. Haemon refuses to watch her die, and Ismene is given pardon. Antígona, however, is sent to a cave with only one day's supply of food. Coryphaeus and Antinous, only onlookers and commentators of this story, grow weary of the sadness of Antígona's slow death and wish to go home, only to realize that the plague of Polynice's death is falling upon them, and they cannot escape the filth. Antígona hangs herself in the cave, and the three then describe how Haemon attempts to kill King Creon, but kills himself instead, and how Creon's wife, Eurydice, stabbed herself to death. King Creon, alone in his grief, realizes his mistake and pardons Antígona. Though pardoned, Antígona claims she will always want to bury Polynices, to which Coryphaeus and Antinous reply that she will always be punished. Antígona asks if there will ever be an end to this mockery; then, with fury, she kills herself. ===== Eidolon takes place in approximately the year 2400, according to the game's website. The setting is a compressed and simplified representation of Western Washington, including the Puget Sound region and the Olympic Peninsula; the Kitsap Peninsula was added by a patch after release. Victoria, British Columbia is also accessible via a road bridge from Port Angeles. The player begins in a forest between Bellevue and Olympia. Gradual exploration reveals that the region is deserted and has largely reverted to wilderness, with its former cities reduced to overgrown ruins. Much of Seattle is underwater, while the other major cities are ringed by massive walls and littered with human skeletons. The background to this desolation is revealed through documents and images that the player may collect in any order. It becomes clear that events were set in motion by the development of technology that increased human longevity. When an earthquake in 2031 flooded Seattle, it exposed deposits of a new mineral that was used to construct towering "Beacons" in cities around the world. Humans were nearly immortal while within range of a Beacon, but their biological dependence on the technology left them at risk of fatal withdrawal symptoms outside the cities. Responding to the massive movements of population and tension between supporters and opponents of the Beacons, many cities constructed walls, isolating themselves from each other and the rural population that continued to experience natural lifespans. This period also saw the rise to prominence of the Sennin, people with heritable mutations that granted innate immortality and superhuman abilities. Growing conflicts and social breakdown culminated in "the Fall", a period around 2110 in which the destruction of Beacons by extremists left city- dwellers to die or flee to surviving cities, themselves diminishing in number and hostile towards refugees. Bellevue and Olympia fell at this time, while Victoria survived as a secluded police state for several decades longer. By the period in which the game is set, the rural communities in Western Washington that survived the Fall have disintegrated. In one series of letters, a Sennin named Triya reveals that she came to Washington long after the Fall in search of a cure for Beacon dependence for the world's few remaining cities; she eventually found this in Victoria, but its effectiveness is unknown. ===== Yasuke is a first year high school student who has feelings for his childhood friend Akari.

The result is that he is cursed by Orihime, the goddess of misfortune who takes his soul into her. To make matters worse if he is separated from her then he dies, and can only be brought back to life through her kissing him. When Akari suddenly sees Orihime she storms off thinking that Yasuke did this in order to hurt her as she also has feelings for him. Orihime initially asks Yasuke to make her happy which will lift the curse, but due to his childhood friend storming off he is upset with her. Orihime soon breaks down into tears which causes the destruction of the things around him. Realizing this he soon is able to calm her down. His sister eventually finds out, and is able to help convince almost everyone at his school that they are related. Akari is not convinced but feels better after Hinata introduces herself as Orihime's sister, and asks her to break the two up. Hinata later reveals herself to be Amaterasu, goddess to the universe who declares that she is going to reseal Orihime into the mirror. In her attempt to do so though, Yasuke's soul goes into Akari causing the two to remain in close contact at all times or else he will die. Akari is relieved to hear about the curse as a reason for the misunderstandings, but Hinata tells Yasuke that his goal to make her sister happy has not changed. Amaterasu eventually also falls in love with Yasuke, and a third heroine named Izuna Amatake is introduced who also falls for him. Yasuke meets with his fiancée/cousin named Momoko Yamato and although she became disillusioned with him, she still continues to love enough that at the end she returns to join them.

Beth leaves the apartment and follows Trina's directions to an alleyway, where she spots an ambulance next to a fire escape. She swallows a pill before continuing. Trina tells her to go up the fire escape. She does, and eventually spots Frank and Roxie inside a room, cutting away Aaron's cheek and removing a worm. Watching from outside through a hole in the glass, she sees that the two are accompanied by Detective Duko (Gord Rand), a detective who works at her police precinct.

She is in a semi-vegetative state for most of the play, making guttural noises for speech and barely being able to move her own body. This is because of a car crash that caused severe brain damage when she was fifteen. Throughout the play she has moments where she shape-shifts into the young woman she was before the accident. The play begins with Ceci having one of these moments, and she introduces each member of her family. Her mother Rosa has dealt with the pain of the car crash by becoming a devout Christian who believes that only God can make everything right. Ceci's younger brother Misha is a good boy who does well in school and likes to write poetry, while her older brother Rene is the bad boy who deals with his guilt over the accident via drinking and violent gay-bashing. Her father Claudio escapes by watching TV with his headphones on almost incessantly. To help with the family's financial situation, Rosa is about to go back to work, and she has hired an undocumented maid to care for Ceci and help with the cooking and cleaning. The maid arrives, and she immediately has a special connection with Ceci: she knows what Ceci needs and wants despite the fact that Ceci cannot talk coherently.

After Alvaro has left and Rene has fled the house in a state of grief and anger, Lydia tends to Misha's wounds. Misha reads her his poetry, which she says is good but lacks humanness. After Misha goes to bed Claudio enters and Lydia confronts him about what he did to Misha. Lydia realizes what Claudio needs in order to get out of his persistent state of escape and she has sex with him in the living room. This is another moment where Ceci shape- shifts into her old self and narrates what is occurring. Unknown to any of them, Rene sees it all. Act 2: The second act opens with a flashback sequence of Ceci, Misha, Rene and Alvaro pretending to be ants when they were kids. Within this dream-like flashback sequence, the shadows of Alvaro and Rene kiss behind a sheet. After this the play returns to present reality and Rosa gives Misha a gold Cross pen because she feels guilty for not being able to stop Claudio from beating him up. Rosa then takes Lydia shopping, and also, it is later revealed, to see about getting her papers so she can stay in America legally. Alvaro visits again and another flashback occurs, in which Ceci asks Alvaro to be her first dance at her Quinceanera after her father's dance. She also wants to know what he and Rene are planning to do that night and she wants to come, but Alvaro won't tell her and says she cannot come. Ceci then professes her love for Alvaro and they kiss. Returning to the present, Rosa returns with Lydia and Rene. Alvaro gives Rene a jacket he bought him in Vietnam, then lets it slip that he loves him. Rene gets extremely angry and reveals that he saw Lydia and Claudio making love. Rosa and Misha ask what is actually going on between Rene and Alvaro. Lydia says that Ceci will tell them what actually happened the night of the accident, and proceeds to "translate" for Ceci. There are moments where Ceci speaks for herself, but to the family everything is coming from Lydia. Ceci tells the story through Lydia of that night, where she says she snuck into the back seat of Rene's car, wanting to surprise Alvaro when Rene picked him up. She heard Alvaro get into the car, and then heard them kissing and Alvaro saying that they should go to the border like they always do. Rene and Alvaro made love in the front seat of the car as Ceci listened from the back, getting angrier and angrier because she was in love with Alvaro too. When they were done and started to drive away, she jumped up screaming at Rene. She started pummeling him over the head so he couldn't see where he was driving, and the car swerved and crashed into the telephone pole. Rosa is completely shocked at this story, and after Rene admits it is true, he throws the jacket Alvaro gave him on the ground and leaves the house, never to return. Rosa whispers something to Alvaro and he goes to Lydia's room and pulls her out of the house to Misha's protestations. She will be sent back to Mexico as an illegal immigrant. After Alvaro leaves with Lydia, Claudio enters and Rosa and him go to bed together. Misha is left alone with Ceci, and he goes to give her her physical therapy. She struggles and is able to say his name once. Then she guides his fingers under her dress. He reluctantly does what he knows she wants and in her ecstasy Ceci sets the pull tab of her blanket on her tongue and swallows it.Solis, Octavio (2010). Lydia.

His body is cremated, and the family gathers at the beach as a unit. Sandy runs into the water and dumps his ashes in, crying out. She hugs Medina and tells her she's sorry over and over. Medina says in a voiceover that her father would like her to come and live with him, and that her mother is getting help and would also like her to come.

A reporter, sent to cover the discovered library, mistakenly notes that one of the books uncovered is Moments of Secret Geneva, instead of Moments of Social Geneva. The editor of the magazine, in a rush, furthers the mistake to Members of Secret Geneva, which is what he publishes in the paper. A student named Simon Slatkin reads the article and becomes curious about Members of Secret Geneva. Unknown to the editor, Secret Geneva was an underground resistance movement that had worked to undermine French occupation during the Napoleonic Wars. Simon believes his grandfather was a member of Secret Geneva, but had been misrepresented as a French sympathizer, the infamy of which had driven Simon and his mother to move away from the grandfather to the other side of town. He hopes that this new book might vindicate his grandfather's name and allow him to visit . Simon stops by the newspaper to confirm the existence of the new book. At the time, the writer of the article is away and the student is instead greeted by the editor, who is known for stubbornly defending the accuracy of the paper, even in the face of obvious misprints. Simon must not have known this, for he takes the editor at his word and sets off to try to find the book. At the municipal building Simon is told that the books have all been moved to a private area within the Public and University Library of Geneva so that they can be cleaned and catalogued. The student goes to the library and asks to see the books but is refused. The student insists that he has a right to see the books, and in response he is roughly removed from the library grounds. Undeterred, the student breaks into the library at night, which he finds surprisingly easy. Inside, he does not find Members of Secret Geneva, and doesn't even notice Moments of Social Geneva, a book so different from his goal that he barely looks at it. The fact of the missing book, rather than enlighten him to the truth, drives Simon to believe that there is a conspiracy to keep him from finding the Members of Secret Geneva. What is more, on trying to exit the library he is caught and put in jail for the night. The editor, learning that the boy in jail is the same one that had come to visit him, goes to Simon as he is being released. He explains that it was a misprint, that there was no Members of Secret Geneva after all. Simon does not believe the editor, calls him a liar and a betrayer, and spits on him until he leaves. Over the following weeks there are a series of break-ins at libraries and other public buildings around Geneva. Nothing is ever stolen, but the break-ins increase in destructiveness, with bookcases thrown over, vases and chairs broken, and messages painted on the walls. In response to the crime spree, the reporter that wrote the story about the hidden library is tasked with investigating the crimes. He learns from the editor who the student is and interviews his friends and mother—the student has not been home for nearly a month. The reporter learns the motivations which are likely driving the crime spree, and he decides to investigate the student's grandfather. He goes to the part of town where the grandfather lives and interviews a number of the older citizens. He discovers that the grandfather is actually held in high regard by all except for his daughter, the student's mother. No one believes he was a French sympathizer, and, in fact, it is public knowledge that he had been a member of Secret Geneva. Returning to the home of Simon Slatkin, the reporter interviews Simon's mother again without telling her what he has learned. Despite his efforts, he cannot determine whether she was trying to protect the son or extort the grandfather, or if it was a simple case of bad blood. Still unable to find Simon, who has been continuously destroying public buildings, the reporter decides to write an article about the mother and grandfather in hopes of reaching the him. The article is printed on a Sunday, and the student's body is found Monday morning in one of the local museums. The same reporter covers the boy's death. It appeared that, while climbing in through a window, the boy slipped and fell onto a decorative set of armor. He was found lying upright at the base of the grand stairwell, with a sword run through his side. ===== In a sacred city of Tibet, the cruel Grand Khan, who has been usurping power for 15 years, orders that Zemgali, a young woman loved by Prince Roundhito-Sing, be taken to his palace.

These three roommates cause Hubert many surprises… ===== The story is narrated in first person by Porter Wren, a columnist and crime reporter for a New York City newspaper with a reputation as a good listener. One night, he attends an after work party hosted by publishing magnate Hobbs, who has just purchased the newspaper. He is approached by socialite Caroline Crowley, whom Porter recognizes from headlines regarding the death of her husband, Simon. Simon was a successful movie producer obsessed with capturing authentic life, often disappearing at night to film random things. His body was discovered in the rubble of a demolished building. No one could figure out how the body got there, as the site was fenced off and locked up. Caroline invites Porter to her apartment where she shows him confidential police reports related to Simon's still-unsolved death. She asks Porter to investigate and, over a series of meetings, gradually seduces him. Porter, whose relationship with his wife Lisa and children has become stale, soon gives in. Going through Simon's belongings, Porter forms an image of him as an eccentric and controlling man. He filmed his own life almost obsessively, sometimes with hidden cameras, and subjected Caroline to cruel pranks and mind games for the sake of capturing authentic reactions. She has a vault filled with thousands of memory cards containing footage of these incidents. None of it, however, gives Porter any insights into his death. Hobbs learns of Porter's affair with Caroline, and forces him into an investigation on Hobbs' behalf by making threats against Porter's family. Hobbs is looking for a particular memory card he believes Caroline is using to blackmail him. When Porter questions her, Caroline admits she is also looking for the memory card. Simon, after beating her in a drinking game, dared her to have sex with a stranger and record the encounter with a hidden camera. She randomly crossed paths with Hobbs and decided to sleep with him. When Simon watched the video, something about it infuriated him and he hid the memory card; after his death, Hobbs began threatening her. Porter, forcing Caroline to admit she only seduced him to enlist his help, leaves in disgust. Outside his house, he is accosted by thugs working for Hobbs, who beat him up and promise to do worse until he finds the video. Porter goes to see Simon's father, who is in a nursing home, but he is unresponsive. Porter discovers a video camera in a beside table, but the memory card in it only has footage of Simon visiting his father. Meanwhile, Hobbs' men force their way into Porter's house and accidentally shoot and wound his son, causing a distraught Lisa to take the children and walk out on Porter. After attacking Hobbs' lawyer in revenge, Porter watches the nursing home video again and realizes Simon's father had regular visits from a lady named Mrs. Sagal. He breaks into her house and finds another memory card, but is caught. After explaining himself, he learns that she is a friend of Simon's family, who became a surrogate mother to Simon after his own mother passed away when he was a child. Wanting to repay her kindness, he arranged a monthly allowance for her once he became rich. Mrs. Segal felt obligated to earn the money, and became a caretaker of sorts to Simon's father. Porter realizes the memory card he found, which Simon had Mrs. Sagal unknowingly send copies of to Hobbs, is the one everybody wants. Watching it, he sees that Hobbs and Caroline had a long and intensely personal conversation before they had sex. Porter returns the video to Hobbs, ending the threat against him and his family. In a show of good faith, Hobbs gives him a key his men found when searching Caroline's apartment for the video. Porter figures out the key is for the basement lock of the building where Simon was found. He goes there and discovers another hidden camera. The memory card in this one reveals Simon took Caroline to the building the night he died. Having watched the sex tape, he demands to know a dark secret about her stepfather that she revealed to Hobbs. Porter watches as Simon's violent interrogation of Caroline leads to his death. The next morning, Porter meets Caroline and reveals the recording. He gives her a copy, with the original as insurance against her contacting his family (something she had previously done for her own enjoyment). She in turn reveals the secret she told to Hobbs but kept from Simon. Porter wishes her well and leaves. In voiceover, Porter expresses guilt for all that happened, including his divorce, while admitting that the experience has both corrupted him and revealed an inner darkness that was always there. In the final scene, Porter drives by the house of a now- remarried Caroline and they look at each other one last time. ===== Beth (Caitlin FitzGerald) is an actress who is finally beginning to have commercial success appearing in cinematic thrillers and beer commercials which routinely require nudity.

Bowers, who has murdered his abusive father after being driven insane by It, attacks the group; Mike fights back and pushes Bowers down the well to his apparent death. The Losers descend into the sewers and find It's underground lair, which contains a mountain of decayed circus props and children's belongings, around which the bodies of It's child victims float in mid-air.

Finding the remnants of Georgie's raincoat, Bill finally comes to terms with his brother's death and is comforted by his friends.

His father Robert (Kevin Kline) is an engineer who lives in the suburbs and is having difficulty adjusting to a life alone. Dean's ex-fiancée Michelle (Christine Woods) attempts to give back the engagement ring, as Dean has "un- proposed." Dean refuses, suggesting she put it on a charm bracelet. Dean's best friend Brett (Reid Scott) is getting married. Dean is actually the "second best" man behind Kevin (Barry Rothbart). Brett and Dean were roommates, along with Eric (Rory Scovel) who has flown out from Los Angeles for the wedding. During the wedding ceremony, Dean sees Michelle's wedding date and gets distracted. When asked to produce the wedding ring, he fumbles with it and drops it. Later during the reception, a drunken Kevin finishes up the best man speech. Dean begins his best man speech, but gets rudely interrupted by Kevin, who gets up and starts swinging at Dean. Waking up in bed with his face in donuts the next morning, Dean gets a call from Robert. Robert says it is time to sell the house. Dean cannot deal with that, so tells his father to wait because he has to fly to Los Angeles to meet with ad agency "creatives" who want to use his drawings. His father has been frustrated by Dean's lack of engagement, and has already brought in realtors Carol (Mary Steenburgen) and Patrick (Peter Scolari). Robert assumes that Patrick and Carol are husband and wife, but Carol says they are not. Robert sees that Carol has an online dating profile on her PC behind her realtor work. While he begins critiquing her profile, a relationship begins to form. Dean meets with the advertising creatives, but is put off by their strange work habits and attitudes. They want to use his work to represent the "before" drawings in an advertisement for deodorant. The main character in the ad is a nerd, but the pitch is to have the deodorant enable the character to draw amazing detailed drawings after using the product. Dean excuses himself and leaves. Dean calls his friends in Los Angeles including Becca and Eric. He goes to a party and meets Nicky (Gillian Jacobs). He is immediately taken by her, but clumsily tips over a serving tray when he absent-mindedly leans on it. He still pursues her, despite Nicky's friend Jill repeatedly dragging her away, and manages to give her his phone number, written on a small notebook paper in a "twentieth- century way." The next day Dean spends time with Eric and finds out he is a cat person, with cat furniture all over his bedroom. As Dean is leaving Los Angeles, he gets a text on his iPhone from Nicky inviting him to come play volleyball at the beach. He leaves the plane and an annoying seat mate behind and heads to the beach, where he is seen dragging his suitcase across the sand. He finally finds Nicky, and they go out to have a dinner date. He kisses her at the end of the date. She invites Dean to come to an art gallery with Jill. Nicky tells Dean that she and Jill will be going up to San Francisco. Dean says that he also had planned to go to the Bay area with Eric. The four end up driving together. Right as they are about to go on a hike, Eric gets a call from his roommate telling him that a bookcase has dropped on his cat. Eric demands to be taken to the San Francisco airport immediately to fly home. Dean goes to a hotel, because Nicky tells him that Jill's parents would not be comfortable with him staying there. He tries to kiss Nicky goodbye, but Jill honks the car horn and interrupts them. Nicky later comes back to Dean's hotel room and spends the night with him. Dean tells Nicky that he thinks he might be falling in love with her, and tells her about the failed engagement and mother dying. Later in the morning, Nicky is gone. There is a hand-written "twentieth-century style" letter for Dean at the front desk. In it, Nicky explains that she is married, but has been separated. Jill had been telling Nicky to divulge that to Dean, but there was never an opportunity. Robert and Carol have been going out together in New York. They return from a play, where they both confess they had no idea what was going on. Carol invites Robert up to her apartment for coffee, and Robert is unable to, because he is "still married". At the end of the film Dean has returned to New York, and finished his next book. He sends a signed copy back to Eric. Robert has moved into a new apartment in the city. Dean tearfully admits that he has not been there, but he and Robert finally reconcile with each other. Later Robert sees Carol walking in his neighborhood, and they walk on together. ===== A short, mild-mannered man, Mr. Twiddle, plays the congas in a nightclub jazz combo; the incessant noise (the horn players point their instruments directly at Twiddle's head) cause him to have nervous tremors, and he leaves in the middle of the act while the rest of the band continues to play. Later, his psychiatrist Dr. I.M Jittery then tells him he is a "very sick man" suffering from "trombonosis" and recommends a relaxing trip to a quiet, secluded locale to restore his nerves. The doctor warns Twiddle that if he does not do so, he will blow up. So his wife (a nurse) makes travel arrangements. Twiddle takes a plane to the Swiss Alps and checks in at the Hush-Hush Lodge, a mountaintop resort hotel which goes to great lengths to maintain absolute silence for its guests extending even to the desk bell, from which a little sign reading "DING!" pops out instead of audibly ringing. A porter (actually a bellboy) escorts Twiddle to his room, communicating entirely with written cards including one reading "CHEAP SKATE!" after receiving a nickel. Twiddle changes into a nightshirt, and settles in for a peaceful night's sleep. However, next door a pair of porters are moving another guest's belongings in, ominously including a trombone. Soon, the unseen neighbor begins playing, waking Twiddle. While he unsuccessfully tries to shut out the noise, a woman in the same room as the horn player starts laughing. Soon the musician, a deep-voiced man, starts laughing as well. Twiddle repeatedly attempts to ask the neighbors to be quiet, but is rudely and physically rebuffed each time (when Twiddle writes, "Will you please stop blowing that horn?" the unseen neighbor says "Shut up!") he soon resorts to violent tactics himself: a club, a cannon, a bomb, and finally a safe suspended by a rope, but they backfire on him as well. The entire time, the noisy neighbors are unseen, except for an occasional hand. Eventually Twiddle's nerves give out; on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he begs the hotel's manager to find a doctor. He is quickly taken back upstairs-- to the room next to his own, where the occupants are still laughing hysterically and playing the horn. However, Twiddle sees to his shock that his neighbors are Dr. I.M. Jittery and the nurse, who have been unaware that their own patient was next door. Twiddle boils into rage, as Dr. Jittery reminds him of his nerves, but Twiddle explodes in a puff of black smoke. Dr. Jittery remarks to the audience, "People just won't listen to their doctor's advice." He and his wife carry on laughing maniacally and honking on the trombone over the end title card. ===== The Hong Kong Police Force holds a funeral for two superintendents killed during the previous film. Shortly after, the commissioner Sean Lau (Aaron Kwok) receives a call from one of the culprits behind the theft of the police van. He is told that his wife has been kidnapped and that he must release Joe Lee (Eddie Peng) for her to survive. Lau overrides standard procedure to transfer Joe out of prison, and is told by the kidnapper to bring Joe to the metro station. There, Joe is able to escape with the aid of several accomplices, one of whom sets off a bomb. The culprits leave Lau's wife alive at the station. Lau's actions are criticized by the media and by numerous politicians, leading to a public inquiry. Fearing that the police have been infiltrated, Lau privately requests Billy Cheung (Aarif Rahman), an ICAC agent who assisted him in the previous movie, to form a separate squad independent of the police, so they can track down the culprits. Meanwhile, MB Lee (Tony Leung), a deputy police commissioner who is about to retire, who is also the father of Joe, is confronted by his fugitive son along with Peter Choi (Chang Kuo-chu), a former commissioner who is now manipulating politics behind the scenes. Choi is revealed as the mastermind behind the troubles of the previous film, and his current goal is to remove Lau, who is not a member of his ring, and to place his own followers into positions of power during the next election. Choi has formed a militant band consisting of former police officers who were expelled or faked their own deaths. He promises Lee not only the position of commissioner, but also of security secretary later on, upon which Lee gives into temptation. A legislator named Oswald Kan (Chow Yun-fat) is convinced by his old friend Lai (Waise Lee), the secretary of justice, to participate in the public inquiry into Lau, but is taken aback when Lee openly criticizes Lau, rather than defending him, which he was supposed to do initially . Kan deduces that Lee is being controlled, and tells his pupils to investigate, one of whom, Bella Au (Janice Man), decides to secretly follow Lee, and later Choi whom Lee confers with. Realizing that they are being followed, Choi orders a subordinate to crash into Au's car, causing a chain collision in which Au is killed, and Choi's car is trapped. Lau arrives to investigate, and a shoot-out occurs, in which Joe is shot and severely injured by Lau, but Choi escapes. Kan finds a photograph taken by Au of Choi and Lee together. Lau's independent squad finds the location of Choi's remaining henchmen and the stolen police van. Lee, meanwhile, convinces or bribes several senior police officers to sign a petition for Lau's removal. In the final hours before Lau steps down, he launches a raid on the henchmen, and requests that Lee take command, noting that, since the henchmen are renegade police officers formerly under Lee, Lee would best know their strategies. Lee accepts, knowing that he cannot refuse without looking weak, but since he is secretly close friends with those henchmen, killing them taxes him emotionally. The operation is a success, with all suspects killed, and Kan and Lau report Lee's and Choi's crimes to the chief executive, who decides to grant amnesty to Lee and Choi, since they are too important to arrest without destabilizing society. Lee is forced into retirement, and Choi is permanently exiled from Hong Kong, but otherwise, their exact crimes are never disclosed to the public. Lau retains his office as commissioner, and Lee visits his son, who is in custody, and lying in a bed at the hospital. ===== The Trouble with Grandpa tells the story of the relationship between a 17-year-old girl named Dori (Meg Tilly) and her 75-year-old grandfather "Grampa" (Elisha Cook Jr.) living in a trailer by the sea.

It follows Kay and Blake (Sister Rat and Brother Rat), black siblings who commit a sexual act on the playground at the insistence of Rosemary, a white child who Blake loves. The play takes place in Brother and Sister Rat's house, which they refer to as a cathedral. Sister Rat explains that her mother sent her away to Georgia when she became pregnant with her brother's baby, and the play is Brother Rat and Sister Rat's commiseration on their circumstances. The two siblings discuss Rosemary's beauty and how their house was once a religious place that now runs red with blood; Rosemary explains to the siblings that they are no longer holy. The plot must be ascertained from the non-chronological and absurdist dialogue between the characters. A 1969 New York Times review wrote, "The action is nothing but Brother and Sister Rat equating their love for each other with their former adoration for Rosemary - the white and beautiful 'descendant of the Pope and Julius Caesar and the Virgin Mary'." ===== The book is set in Kerala in the 1980s.

The narrative unfolds as a friend, his publisher Sanford Evans, listens to the tapes. Norliss had recently investigated an incident reported by Ellen Cort, a widow who claims that she was attacked by her recently-deceased husband, James, one night on their estate near Monterey.

The only set pieces are a bus-stop sign in the middle of the stage and two rows of iron railings shaped like a cross. "The shape is symbolic of a crossroads, or a fork in the road on the journey of life, or a way station in the lives of the characters." The first character to enter is the Silent Man, followed soon after by the Old Man. The Old Man inquires about when the bus headed to the city will arrive, reveals to audience that it's Sunday afternoon, and briefly discusses the concepts rush hour and buying cigarettes. The Girl and the Hothead enter next, and the Hothead sits on the railing despite the Old Man's protests.

While the Old Man, the Mother, the Hothead, and Glasses argue about the queue, another bus zooms by without stopping. This unstoppable bus prompts the Hothead to begin fighting with Glasses. The Silent Man and the Carpenter separate the two, and everyone at the station falls back in line. At this point in the play, characters begin to reveal why they're going into city. The Mother explains how her husband and child live in the city, and her work can't be transferred to the city because "you've got to have connections."

The Director Ma discloses that he is the manager of the general supplies store and has bribed the bus company with cigarettes, yet still can't get on the bus. While the Old Man and the Director Ma discuss cigarettes and language, Glasses begins studying American English words such as pig, dog, book, and desk.

The Director Ma claims that he was going into town for a party, but he can drink booze at home; he doesn’t leave the bus stop, however. The Old Man announces that he’s going into town to play the chess champion Li Mosheng in a game of chess, and Glasses worries that he’s wasted his youth waiting for the bus and not taking the college exam. The Director Ma attempts to rally the troops to walk back to the country, but the Hothead insists on having a test of city yogurt. The strangers then realize that the Silent Man has left them, and they hypothesize about the man's identity. The Director Ma remembers that his son is getting married back in the country, and asks the Carpenter whether or not he could produce some fine furniture for his son. After the Hothead suggests that he and Glasses walk to the city, Glasses decides to flip a coin to decide whether they walk or stay, but the Girl stops him before he can look because she's scared of her own fate. Upon the arrival of another bus, the group decides to block the bus's path by standing in the road. The bus does not so much as slow down, however, and the civilians flee back to the bus stop. The Director Ma threatens to leave once more, but stays. At this point, Glasses' watch lets us know that ten whole years have passed. Each character worries about what they've missed in the last ten years. The Girl and the Mother describe dreams that they've had and embrace due to their own dissatisfactions with life. The Hothead tries to instigate a gambling card game, but is ultimately shut down by the Carpenter, who slaps him. When the gang gets ready to walk to town, the Director Ma claims that he forgot to take his medicine back in the country and finally walks back. It begins to rain, and everyone huddles under a plastic sheet that the Carpenter pulls out of his bag. As Glasses goes to take the Girl's hand, the Old Man suggests that the Hothead get a job as the Carpenter's apprentice, and the Mother recounts her story about a stranger in the rain. The Director Ma returns, and the rain turns to snow. When the rain stops, the characters notice a sign on the bus stop that most likely once stated that the bus stop was no longer operational – they've waited for nothing. The characters then become actors watching from the outside much like audience members. They question why these characters are wasting their lives waiting. The characters then return to their original characters and start walking towards the city. ===== After the zombie apocalypse occurs in Australia, two tradesmen, Darryl (Alex Williamson) and Joel (Jim Jefferies), meet at a telephone exchange tower to take refuge there.
