A young boy meets the mysterious owner of a relic shop, Mr. Liu, who tells him the story of Ninjago, a city within the LEGO universe. It is frequently terrorized by the evil warlord Garmadon, who is the father of teenager Lloyd Garmadon and ex-husband of Koko. Everyone in the city of Ninjago despise Lloyd for being Garmadon's son, which puts Lloyd under emotional stress. Unbeknownst to them, Lloyd is the Green Ninja and leader of a team of ninja warriors comprising Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane, Nya, and their master Wu (Garmadon's brother), who always stop Garmadon from taking over Ninjago by fighting with mechs. When Garmadon is again unsuccessful at conquering Ninjago, his tech division shows him a giant new mech.

Lloyd and his friends see the return of Master Wu, who tells them that only their "unique element" will defeat Garmadon. Lloyd is frustrated to learn his element is "green" while Kai has fire, Cole has earth, Jay has lightning, Zane has ice and Nya has water. Wu also mentions the "Ultimate Weapon", giving Lloyd new hope of stopping Garmadon, despite Wu warning them that ''nobody'' can ever use the device. The next day, Garmadon attacks Ninjago with his new giant mech and this time defeats Lloyd. As Garmadon gloats, Lloyd returns with the Ultimate Weapon and fires it, only to reveal that it is really a laser pointer that attracts a live-action cat named Meowthra. Garmadon points the laser at the ninja's mechs, which the cat destroys, but Lloyd breaks the laser pointer. As Garmadon celebrates his victory, Lloyd unmasks himself and denounces his father, leaving Garmadon confused.

Lloyd meets up with his friends and Master Wu, who tells them they must use the "Ultimate, Ultimate Weapon" to stop Meowthra from destroying Ninjago, which can be found on the other side of the island. Garmadon overhears his brother talking about the weapon, follows close behind, intercepts Wu, and fights him only to end up in a cage defeated. However, Wu loses his balance and falls off a bridge into the river below. Before being swept away, he tells the ninja they must find "inner peace". The ninja continue on with Garmadon leading them, much to Lloyd's disappointment. Despite this, the two bond throughout their journey, while the ninjas learn not to rely solely on their mechs to fight. The group survives an encounter with Garmadon's fired generals, and Garmadon teaches Lloyd to throw.

They eventually crash down onto the Temple of Fragile Foundations, Garmadon's childhood home. He tells Lloyd that his mother was a warrior named Lady Iron Dragon and that he wishes he had stayed with him and his mom after deciding to conquer Ninjago, but he couldn't change so they had to stay apart. The ninjas find the Ultimate, Ultimate Weapon, a chest consisting of a set of LEGO pieces that resemble their elemental powers, only to have it stolen by Garmadon, who remains resolute in taking over the city after Lloyd rejects his offer to replace a mutinous general. In an unexpected turnaround, Garmadon locks all of them inside the temple as it begins to collapse. Lloyd realizes that "inner peace" means that they must unleash their elemental power, and they escape from the collapsing temple. As they fall off a cliff, Wu saves them with his flying ship, the "Destiny's Bounty", and they head back to Ninjago City.

Garmadon arrives and tries to defeat Meowthra with the Ultimate, Ultimate Weapon, but Meowthra eats him whole instead. Lloyd and the crew arrive and begin fighting Garmadon's army. As Lloyd approaches Meowthra, he reveals to everyone that he is the Green Ninja and realizes that "green" means life and that his element is what connects the ninjas and his family together. He comforts Meowthra and apologizes to Garmadon profusely, saying that he forgives him. Garmadon cries tears of fire, which causes Meowthra to vomit him out. After Lloyd and his father are reconciled, Meowthra becomes the mascot of Ninjago and Lloyd is hailed as a hero.

Mr. Liu finishes the story of Ninjago informing the boy that he will start training him as a ninja at dawn after the boy shows potential while the film ends.

The first season on Lucha Underground introduced the viewers to Dario Cueto (Luis Fernandez-Gil), the owner of the "Lucha Underground Temple" in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Cueto uses his money and influence to stage fights, promoting violence and often rewarding rule breakers while punishing those that play by the rules. During the season Cueto introduced the Lucha Underground Championship, won by Prince Puma in episode 9 (''Aztec Warfare''). Later on the Lucha Underground Trios Championship was added, with the first champions being the mismatched team of Angélico, Ivelisse and Son of Havoc. During the season Cueto began rewarding several wrestlers with an "Aztec Medallion", later revealing that they all played a part in the creation of the Gift of the Gods Championship, won by Fénix during the season finale called ''Ultima Lucha''.

Other plot lines included the introduction of the mysterious, supernatural character Mil Muertes ("One Thousand Deaths"; Gilbert Cosme) and his companion Catrina (Karlee Perez) as they first fight against Fénix and later targeted Prince Puma. Catrina also brought in a trio called "the Disciples of Death" (Barrio Negro, El Sinestro de la Muerte and Trece). The season also included a side plot featuring Cueto, his brother Matanza, and Black Lotus (Angela Fong), who tries to kill Cueto and a masked wrestler known as Dragon Azteca who trains Black Lotus during the season. In the final episode of season one, Black Lotus kills Dragon Azteca, causing Cueto to flee the temple with both Black Lotus and Matanza in tow.

While in Berlin during ''Kristallnacht'' in 1938, journalist Varian Fry witnesses the Nazis' brutal treatment of Jews. He was helpless and physically sick as the SA brown-shirts clubbed their victims to the ground. The experience left him with a resolve to do something to help the Jews.

Back in the United States, Fry begins to canvass his influential friends and acquaintances, only to find indifference or even antisemitism. Learning that the Nazis have targeted artists and intelligentsia, he approaches the State Department with a plan and a few prominent names, such as artist Marc Chagall, scrawled on a list. When the State Department tries to block his plans to head back to Europe, Fry finds an ally in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who intervenes on his behalf. She specifically asks Fry to check on Lion Feuchtwanger, imprisoned without charge by the French in the Camp des Milles internment camp.

In 1940, heading for Marseille in Vichy France the nominally unoccupied ''zone libre'' in the southern part of Nazi-conquered metropolitan France, where he knows that Jewish artists have taken refuge Fry arrives with money to bribe officials.

While U.S. Consul Jamieson is intransigent and rude to him, Fry later learns that Vice Consul Harry Bingham is an ally, as Bingham has worked with Waitstill and Martha Sharp, taking Feuchtwanger, Hannah Arendt, and Marc and Bella Chagall into his own home. The Chagalls, like many other expatriates, believe they are safe in Vichy France, willfully ignoring the article in the terms of the French surrender stating that France must immediately hand over any French citizen that the Nazis should demand. Word spreads quickly in Marseille that an American will help Jews to escape Vichy France. In setting up an office out of his hotel room, Fry encounters Miriam Davenport, who helps him screen the numerous refugees that begin lining up at his hotel.

Two other accomplices approach Fry, Albert Hirschman, a Jewish con-man that he names "Beamish", and Bill Freier, a counterfeit expert. With picture-perfect forged passes and identification cards, Fry begins to send Jewish artists out of France to Spain where they can arrange transport to the United States. Both French and German officials suspect that Fry is deceitful and assign agents, such as Nazi SS ''Oberstleutnant'' Marius Franken, to follow him.

With French collaborators turning in Jews, an urgency to leave begins to take hold. Even Chagall now joins with author Heinrich Mann and others in seeking passage out of Marseille. Fry and Davenport decide to shepherd a large group of frightened refugees, first on a train, then taking the group on a long hike through a mountain forest to a checkpoint where, if their documents will be accepted, they will be free to enter neutral Spain. Despite some near misses, the group makes it to freedom.

In just under one year, ending with his expulsion in September 1941, Fry's clandestine underground escape route over the Pyrenees eventually frees more than 2,000 artists, authors, scientists and intellectuals from Vichy France, including some who are listed onscreen in the background of the closing credits: Chagall, Arendt, Jacques Lipchitz, Hans Bellmer, Heinrich Mann, André Masson, Max Ernst, Franz Werfel, Ferdinand Springer and Feuchtwanger.

The book begins with Alek Spasky in the depths of the North Sea, with a captain of sailors that salvaged sunken vessels. They were known as salvors. Spasky is searching for the Kraken, a Russian submarine that had burned up and sunk into the North Sea. During the Cold War, many submarines and airplanes had crashed into the ocean, with intact nuclear bombs known as broken arrows.

However, a black-clad figure breaks into the villa that she is in, and she gives chase. Hamilton Holt also wakes up and chases the figure, but they are blinded by a bright light. Meanwhile, on Mount Fuiji, Japan, Sammy and Nellie order grilled cheese sandwiches to go. They start trekking up the mountain, in order to reach the Tomas stronghold there. In Jonah's villa at Lake Como, the Cahills find a paparazzo, and exchange a picture of the intruder for an embarrassing clip of Jonah. The intruder is Cora Wizard, Jonah's mom. They also receive a riddle about the upcoming disaster: "Disaster Three. Water marches on land. Inaction leads to more blood on your hands. Arrows are broken, lessons unlearned. Inert responses, power unearned. Katrina wreaked profound devastation, The same fate awaits a new coastal nation… The Gateway floods when autonomy fails, The torrent erases the Dutch king’s trail. A violent surge, a breach in the wall, The House of Orange will crumble and fall." In Attleboro, Massachusetts, the Outcast tells Mr. Berman to get rid of Saladin, the family cat. Meanwhile, on Mount Fuji, Sammy and Nellie get stuck in an avalanche and barely escape. At Lake Como, the Cahills agree to split up to fulfill their mission. Amy, Hamilton, and Jonah will go to Boston to hear Aunt Beatrice's will and try to get more information about the Outcast. Meanwhile, Ian, Cara, and Dan will go to the Netherlands and prevent the Outcast's disaster. On Mount Fuji, Nellie and Sammy come upon the Tomas stronghold, but discover that it is deserted. While that occurs, in Amsterdam, Dan goes to a museum to help them with their mission.

In 1953, a storm tide had flooded the Netherlands, killing roughly 1,800 people. Due to this, the Dutch built the Delta Works to keep out the water. Dan also learns about broken arrows, and theorizes that the Outcast will detonate one to create a tsunami. Meanwhile, in Boston, Hamilton is laughing over "Jonah Wizard’s Massive Mime Meltdown", or a video clip in which Jonah recites Shakespeare into a mirror. Amy heads over to the reading of Beatrice's will, discovering that she is the only Cahill in the room. However, back in Amsterdam, Dan explains his theory to the others, and Cara confirms this with an internet search. Cara explains how over a thousand bombs were exploded by the US alone. Cara and Ian also say how King's Day is tomorrow, and which will be the day the disaster will take place. Meanwhile, back in Boston, Beatrice insults everyone in her will, and leaves everything to the Porcelain Cats are People Too Foundation. While Mr. Berman looks for Beatrice's diaries, Amy calls Jonah and Ham for backup. The group gets the diaries, and saves Saladin, who was about to be killed. She discovers the black files, or tabs about every Cahill. The trio heads to Grace's hangar to get the black files.

The group opens up the safe to the black files. Meanwhile, on Mount Fuji, Nellie and Sammy encounter Magnus Hansen, the current Tomas leader. They discover that Hansen is collecting the Tomas clues, and that the disasters are just distractions. They trap him in the stronghold, but he can easily escape. In the black files, Ham discovers that Grace purposely got his father expelled to prevent him from being Tomas leader. When the group tries to leave, Alek Spasky pierces Jonah with an emei piercer. They suppress him with bubbles, then escape. Meanwhile, in Amsterdam, it is King's Day, or Koningsdag. They meet up with top government officials at nine-thirty A.M. However, they do not believe that there is an impending disaster. But the kids learn that the Maeslantkering is controlled solely by a computer, or "autonomy". The group steals a boat and heads over to the dam. On Mount Fuji, a blizzard hinders Sammy and Nellie, and they camp out in a small snow cave. Meanwhile, Ian, Cara, and Dan make it to Rotterdam, one of the busiest seaports in the world. They find out that King Willem-Alexander is due at Rotterdam at noon, which leaves only 41 minutes. While Cara attempts to close the dam, Dan tries to warn the boats outside the dam. There are plans to restrict shipping in the area while a firework show takes place, so Dan detonates the fireworks earlier than planned. All of the ships safely come inside the dam except for a small fishing boat with engine problems. However, Dan gets them in at the last second. At noon, the North Sea erupts with the nuclear bomb explosion. However, the gates close just in time and the disaster is prevented. Meanwhile, the Outcast views the disaster from a helicopter with Magnus and the pilot. Dan discusses how he prevented the disaster with Amy on a video conference, while Amy tells of their encounter with Alek Spasky. Nellie also reveals how the Outcast is collecting the clues. Ian also tells them how he is handing leadership over to Amy and Dan, and then kisses Cara.

At the beginning of the episode, the girls, Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) and Ezra (Ian Harding) are together after Hanna (Ashley Benson) sends a false message to "A", starting her plan to serve as a guinea pig. Aria (Lucy Hale) gets a call from Alison, who is at the hospital and announces that she will be released the next day; Aria tells Emily (Shay Mitchell) that Elliott will have to go to Chicago and Alison will be alone. Hanna then receives new threats from "A", who tells her that they need to come face to face. Hanna tells "A" that she needs one more day and the stalker accepts the false proposal.

The next day, Elliott (Huw Collins) says goodbye to Alison and travels to Chicago for a conference. Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Toby (Keegan Allen) work together to prepare a plan to discover a secret entrance in the old underground corridors of Radley.

Meanwhile, Ezra finishes writing his book and vents to Aria a few things about the disappearance of Nicole and how he feels relation to it. Alone, Alison hears a simple ballet sound and goes to her room; she unwittingly drops the object that reproduced the sound when she sees her mother covered in blood and dirt. To torment her further, Alison receives a call and a very similar voice to her mother's voice says "Did you miss me?"

At night, Emily joins Alison and they talk about Alison's hallucinations. At the election party, Toby reveals to Yvonne (Kara Royster) that he will have to solve something after the ascertainment of the elections and they end up fighting. At the house of the Hastings, Mona appears and asks for an opportunity to help in the election to Spencer, who ends up giving in and realizing how much she works well. In the forest, Caleb and Hanna prepare the trap and he explains that a sensor will take photos of anyone that shows up. Alison gets startled while sleeping and sees Darren Wilden (Bryce Johnson), the Rosewood's deceased policeman, lying on her bed; she screams and Aria and Emily comfort her.

In the next scene, Caleb and Spencer have a romantic moment; however, when Spencer says she loves him, he doesn't answer. Alison talks to Elliott by phone and reveals that Emily came out to vote; she then again sees her mother and Darren. When Aria arrives at Ezra's apartment, he tells her the great news: the book they wrote together was very well received and will have a great impact. Surprised, Aria ends up kissing Ezra. Inevitably, Ezra continues to kiss her and they end up having sex. Meanwhile, Caleb and Hanna begin to organise the abandoned room at the Lost Woods Resort and she begins to recall past events. After voting, Emily returns to Alison's house and realises that she is gone; she later finds her at the church and Alison decides that she's psychologically troubled.

At the Lost Woods Resort, Aria and Ezra are in the forest while Hanna and Caleb say goodbye; at the last moment, they kiss and Hanna turns out to reveal that she never stopped loving him. Spencer and Toby find the secret door from the corridors of Radley and Mona joins them. The trio find an old and damaged file in the secret room and find information about Mary Drake, a former Radley patient from 25 years ago. They discover that the patient had a son, Charles Drake, who was later adopted by Jessica and Kenneth DiLaurentis. Charlotte was in fact an adoptive member of the DiLaurentis family. In the woods, someone knew the plan of Caleb and eventually led them away from the motel; when Aria, Caleb and Ezra return to the abandoned room, Hanna is gone.

In Welby State Psychiatric Hospital, Alison is voluntarily admitted. Veronica wins the election for senator and a celebration takes place at Radley. Everyone celebrates, however, Spencer receives a text and she and Toby go to the Lost Woods with Mona who secretly follows them. Everyone's together and see the scenes recorded in the forest and are frightened when a video of a brunette Jessica DiLaurentis comes up. Meanwhile, in Alison's house, "Wilden" is revealed to be a mask and Elliott is revealed to be underneath, while Mary Drake approaches and reveals herself as the identical twin of Jessica DiLaurentis. She asks if Alison "signed the papers." Elliott confirms, saying that 51% of the shares of Carissimi Group were diverted at the time Alison signed her entry to the psychiatric hospital.

Yet in the forest, the girls receive a new message: "Thanks for giving me Hanna. You're free to go -A.D."

In the end, Hanna is seen being dragged inside the Rosewood Church while carrying a bouquet of lilacs — just like the ones Charlotte had when she was found dead.

Amy also hears the clink of the serum that Sammy Mourad had made for her, just in case. As the groups discusses the riven crystal and Tikal, a national park and archaeological treasure uncovered in 1956, the chopper suddenly shakes. The pilot, who is wearing a parachute, had been hired by Pierce to jump out and crash the helicopter, in an attempt to kill the Cahills. The group finally fights off the pilot, and Amy takes the controls. She unsteadily flies it to Tikal, where the chopper falls thirty vertical feet onto a pok-a-tok court.

Roman (Stuart Greer), the Savior who survived her attack, finds Carol first, shooting her in the right arm and leg, stating that she will suffer like his friends did. Morgan shows up just in time to save her, breaking his vow by killing Roman, and encounters two men wearing armor who approach on horseback: one of them is the mysterious survivor from the barn that Morgan saved from Rick. After the strangers offer them help, Morgan agrees to get Carol medical assistance.

After nightfall, with time running out, Eugene (Josh McDermitt) volunteers to be bait to distract the Saviors by driving the empty RV by himself to lure them while the rest of the group carry Maggie to the Hilltop through the woods on foot. However, as the group carries a very weak Maggie on a stretcher, they end up running into the midst of a large group of Saviors, led by Simon from earlier, who were expecting and waiting for them all to arrive. They have already captured Eugene, along with Glenn (Steven Yeun), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Rosita (Christian Serratos), and a gravely wounded, but alive, Daryl (Norman Reedus). The entire group is disarmed and forced to their knees.

As the group kneels helplessly on the ground, a man with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, steps out of the group's RV. In an intimidating manner, he approaches and greets a nervous Rick, revealing himself to be Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the totalitarian leader of the Saviors. Unhappy, Negan berates Rick for killing many of his men and then goes on to explain the new world order: the group now works for him and half of their supplies now belong to him. He introduces Rick to his bat, which he calls "Lucille", and reveals that the entire set up, including the roadblocks, was simply to decide "who gets the honor" of dying as punishment for their actions. When Negan threatens to put Maggie out of her misery, Glenn lunges at him, but is pulled back in line by Dwight (Austin Amelio). Unable to choose a victim, Negan claims to have an idea; he starts a game of "eeny, meeny, miny, moe", pointing Lucille down the line of survivors as he recites the rhyme. He eventually lands on "it", making his choice. From the victim's point-of-view, Negan prepares to beat them, telling his men to cut out Carl's (Chandler Riggs) other eye and feed it to Rick should anyone move or say anything. Negan then slams Lucille down onto his victim's head. To the horror of the other survivors, Negan continues to beat the victim over and over again.

In a streetcar, a man turns on a boombox and plays the song ''Y.M.C.A.'', prompting the passengers to dance. When everyone has left the streetcar, the driver discovers a woman, Serena Dunbrook, dead inside. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) respond to the scene to investigate. It turns out she died from anaphylactic shock in response to bee venom. They deduce the attacker seized the chance to kill her.

At the station, they interview 22 people who boarded the streetcar, all of whom say they were told to be on that streetcar at a certain time. During the interrogation, Nick realizes that two of them, Doug Shellow and John Coleman, are Mellifers. He and Hank follow them to a factory, where they meet with a woman (Nana Visitor). Nick and Hank are then attacked by a swarm of bees. Hank is wounded and is treated by Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch). Nick and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) head back to the warehouse, where they discover an envelope addressed to the woman: Melissa Wincroft. They go to her mansion, which they discover is deserted but filled with dead bees and hives.

Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) calls Nick and Hank to another crime scene, where Camilla Gotleib, Serena's co-worker at a law firm, has been killed. They contact a third attorney, Adalind Schade (Claire Coffee): Nick recognizes her as the woman who attacked him in the hospital, but remains silent. Forensics show that both victims had a mark below their tongue, enabling Nick to identify them as Hexenbiests. Nick interrogates Shellow again, after which Shellow sends a message alerting Melissa to target Adalind.

Nick and Hank take Adalind to a hotel. Once alone, Nick confronts her about her Hexenbiest form. A swarm of bees invades the hotel looking for Adalind, who flees to the basement. Nick finds Melissa also in the basement. She warns him he must kill Adalind as "something bad is coming". Adalind attacks Melissa and both implore Nick to kill the other. Hank arrives and sees Adalind in distress, and in a moment of decision, Nick shoots Melissa. She warns Nick that "he" is coming for him before dying. The episode ends as a bee stings Nick in his house.

15-year-old Kolya Golikov falls in love with Nadya Naumchenko, an aspiring teenage ballet dancer and a Choreography school student. Infatuated, he goes out of his way to impress her, among other things by perfume, cigarettes and his peculiar style of dancing too. Utter ridiculousness of his ways notwithstanding, Nadya seems to like the boy. Over-excited during the night walk, as the two approach the place she lives in, Kolya starts to behave towards her somewhat acquisitively. Taken aback, the girl declares herself to be totally disillusioned with him. "You do not seem interesting to me, not anymore!" she exclaims. Weeks pass. And Kolya, who's always been good at mathematics but bad at learning poems by heart, is so shattered by this fiasco as to impress his school examiners with passionate recital of "I Loved You...", Pushkin's famous paean to unrequited love.

Autumn comes and it's time for the older boy, Zhora, to be conscripted. He decides to spend his last evening together with his friends and takes them all to the concert in the local theatre. There Kolya sees Nadya dancing on stage. He is awe-struck and enchanted again. Minutes later, behind the curtains Nadya learns about Zhora's company being there in the audience. "And... is Kolya there too?" she can't help asking, leaving the finale open.

The young warrior Red Kangaroo becomes a chief of his tribe – the Red Chief of the Gunnedah district. His story is handed down through the generations of his tribe and given by the last survivor, Bungaree, to the white settlers of the district.

Chapters 1-10 (Pages 1-78)

The book begins with Dan Cahill, who was abducted by Cara and Galt Pierce. He thinks about the last twelve hours, in which great horrors took place. For example, Pierce is nearly president, Pony was killed trying to save Dan, and Amy only has a few more days to live due to the undiluted serum she took to save Dan. Galt and Cara Pierce, the children of J. Rutherford Pierce, begin to interrogate Dan by injecting him with sodium pentathol, or truth serum. They ask him about the antidote to the serum which Dan and the others are trying to create. Galt states how Pierce decoded Olivia Cahill's Household Book, which tells how to create the antidote. However, Dan, using his sarcasm, covers up, saying how Pierce "figured out our secret recipe for potato salad". By the end of the interrogation, they have confirmed that the last antidote ingredient is in Angkor, Cambodia. Angkor was one of the most developed societies of the ancient world. Dan inhales chloroform in order to pass out. Galt repeatedly wants to kill Dan, while Cara wants to keep him for further interrogation. They plan to fly to Cambodia in order to thwart the Cahills' plans. Meanwhile, in Guatemala, Amy drives like a NASCAR driver on a road meant for ox carts. They almost crash into an enormous logging truck, but due to Amy's enhanced powers, they are saved. In the car are Ian Kabra, the Rosenbloom brothers, and Amy Cahill. They discuss the venom of the Tonle Sap snake, which is the final ingredient to the antidote. When they reach Guatemala City, they board Jonah's Gulfstream G6. Jonah had called for an autograph session in order to ward of Pierce's goons, although he does not reveal this to Broderick, his father.

Meanwhile, in New York City's Central Park, J. Rutherford Pierce talks about his platform to over 500,000 supporters. Pierce plans to first become US president, then take control of the entire world. Pierce planned to rock several foreign cities with nuclear bombs, then take advantage of the chaos to become a dictator of the entire planet. Meanwhile, on Jonah's jet over the Pacific Ocean en route to Cambodia, Amy reflects on her increasing side effects. Also, they find out that a "Code A" is actually tracking the location of the Pierce's. Meanwhile, the Pierce luxury jet stops on Midway Atoll, the site of one of the greatest battles of World War 2. However, Cara actually helps Dan escape, and he runs out of the plane. Soon, Jonah's plane arrives, nearly killing Dan. Dan tries to defend himself with a crowbar, but discovers Amy and the others. He recounts his interrogation, and they board the plane to go to Cambodia.

In Trilon Labs, Delaware, Nellie Gomez and Sammy Mourad have been exposed as imposters and are jailed in the building. However, Nellie attempts to win her jailers approval by cooking for them. Sammy and Nellie discuss their ultimate goal: "to sterilize the test tubes", which is code for destroying Trilon Labs. Finally, the Cahills arrive at Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia and the location of the country's largest airport. Hamilton Holt is waiting for them with a rickety boat called the "Kaoh Kong". He plans to get a Tonle Sap snake on the way to Siem Reap and Angkor War. However, the journey takes over eight hours in extreme heat, and no one likes the idea. Soon, they pass the village of Kampong Chhnang, and enter the Tonle Sap, the largest lake in Cambodia. Amy thinks that it looks like a gigantic liquid mirror. And, over half of Cambodia depends on the lake for their protein source. After the group reaches Siem Reap, they book a room at Jayavarman-Sleep Here. The room is clean and spacious, and the owner, Mrs. Bopha, spoke no language known to humankind. Meanwhile, on an island 27 miles east of Mai ne, now called Pierce Landing, Pierce has an interview, while Debi Ann discover Olivia's Household Book, and that Pierce still has Hope Cahill on his mind. In Cambodia, the group reaches Angkor Wat, which is extremely enormous. Angkor Wat is a funerary monument that was made of stone and had five tall towers, the middle one over two hundred feet tall. However, Jonah and Hamilton visit the Rith Map Crocodile Farm, as the snakes were originally crocodile food before they became endangered. When Jonah sees a snake in a croc pen, Hamilton jumps in without a thought, nearly getting eaten by a crocodile. Meanwhile, back at Angkor Wat, Ian Kabra discovers that April May, the hacker against Pony, is actually Cara Pierce. Cara is afraid of her father's terrible plans, and wants to help the Cahills defeat him. However, Amy and Dan have to decide on this matter.

However, while the Rosenblooms and the Cahills are hunting for Tonle Sap snakes, they discover that Galt and five thugs are chasing them. Atticus lead them into Ta Keo to hide, which was the only temple in Angkor that was never finished. However, the discover that they are trapped, and that there is no place for them to go inside the temple. But Amy finds a hidden room beneath them due to her serum-enhanced powers.

Chapters 11-20 (Pages 79-148)

The groups agrees with Amy and moves some stones in order to go into the room. However, it is easy for Galt and his goons to discover their hiding place. Meanwhile, Amy detects gunpowder in the room, and Atticus discovers that there are ancient fireworks in the room. The ancient Khmer used the fireworks in rituals and celebrations, after learning it from Chinese travelers. When Galt and the thugs enter the room, the groups sets of the fireworks and knocks them out. Then, the groups escapes from Ta Keo, and points several Cambodian police in the direction of the temple.

Meanwhile, at Trilon Labs, Delaware, Nellie and Sammy are supposedly creating the "Franken-serum", which was a version of the Cahill serum that had not side-effects at all yet provided all of the enhanced powers associated with the serum. However, they are actually trying to "sterilize the test tubes", or destroy the complex and halt the production of serum. They are trying to do this by creating hundreds of gallons of nitroglycerin and detonate them to blow up the entire complex. Even though Nellie is almost discovered transporting nitroglycerin by Dr. Benoit, senior ranking scientist at the lab, she makes it to her destination- storeroom 117A.

The next morning, the Cahills try to get an early start on finding the Tonle Sap snake and extracting its venom. However, they try to catch the snakes in Tonle Sap itself, rather than near Angkor Wat. Hamilton states how the police traced the Kaoh Kong back to him, and how he is a "person of interest." Ian also tells the group about his conversation with April May, aka Cara Pierce. They debate whether to trust her and allow her to help the Cahills. Although Dan, who is the new leader of the Cahills, trusts her after she helped him, Amy is more stubborn and refuses to yield. Dan reflects on how his greatest fear is losing his sister. Amy is everything to him, and if he lost her, he would lose himself as well. Soon, they enter the Tonle Sap, which swells to almost six times its usual size during the monsoon season. Atticus sees a snake, which causes a pandemonium, but results in nothing. However, they discover that Amy has passed out and almost drowned in the water. Hamilton shakes her to expel almost a quart of Tonle Sap sludge.

Soon, however, Galt and his five goons appear. Galt is extremely mad, as he was grilled for eight hours after being discovered in Ta Keo. Pierce had to bribe the police in order to secure his freedom. As the two groups clash, Jake yells out a command to stop, as a goon is holding Atticus underwater and trying to drown him. The Cahills surrender, with the battle lost. However, Jonah spots a "log", and throws a rock at it. Immediately, a thirteen-foot crocodile erupts in front of Galt. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Cahills escape, and find out that their mode of transportation is gone. But, a black Humvee with a masked rider roars up the road, and the Cahills enter the vehicle. They discover that the driver is actually Cara Pierce.

Cara reveals how if Pierce is defeated, everything else will fall into place. Suddenly, Ian discovers a Tonle Sap snake in his Gucci, which promptly bites him on his nose. After putting the snake in a water jug, they decide to allow Cara into their guesthouse on the 3 conditions below:
Cara would surrender her phone, and the GPS chip would be removed and destroyed.
Cara would be blindfolded until she was indoors.
* She would be handcuffed and restrained. Cara agrees to all of the conditions, and is escorted to the hotel. As everyone goes to sleep, Cara reflects on how she is a traitor to her own flesh and blood. However, she believes that it is the right thing to do. J. Rutherford Pierce had gone to the dark side somewhere along the line, and she reflected on how her father was looking at nuclear bomb triggers on one occasion. When Jake wakes up early in the morning, he discovers that both Cara and the snake are gone, only to discover that Cara had bought an aquarium for the snake, and checked in with her brother. However, she tried to earn their trust by coming back after sneaking out. Cara begins to tell the Cahill about Pierce's All-American Clambake. Meanwhile, Nellie and Sammy succeed in blowing up Trilon Labs and escaping.

In Cambodia, Galt Pierce tries to prevent Jonah's airplane from landing, but fails. Sammy and Nellie escape to Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Cahills arrive there as well, and replicate the antidote on a mass scale. They decide to test the antidote on Fiske Cahill, who is near death.

Chapters 21-32 (Pages 149-222)

The antidote works, after it is tested on Fiske. Amy practices flying, and Jake worries about her. Finally, the climax arrives as the Cahills arrive at Pierce Landing for Pierce's All-American Clambake. Amy and Jake fly over the landing and delivers the antidote. And, they make sure that Pierce's nukes do not blow up. The book ends with a victory over Pierce.

Katherine Johnson works at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia in 1961, alongside her colleagues Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan. All of them are African-American women; the unit is segregated by race and sex. White supervisor Vivian Mitchell assigns Katherine to assist Al Harrison's Space Task Group, given her skills in analytic geometry. She becomes the first Black woman on the team; head engineer Paul Stafford is especially dismissive.

Mary is assigned to the space capsule heat shield team, where she immediately identifies a design flaw. Encouraged by her team leader Karl Zielinski, a Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivor, Mary applies for a NASA engineer position. She is told by Mitchell that, regardless of her mathematics and physical science degree, the position requires additional courses. Mary files a petition for permission to attend all-white Hampton High School, despite her husband's opposition. Pleading her case in court, she wins over the local judge by appealing to his sense of history, allowing her to attend night classes.

Katherine meets African-American National Guard Lt. Col. Jim Johnson, who voices skepticism about women's mathematical abilities. He later apologizes and begins spending time with Katherine and her three daughters. The Mercury 7 astronauts visit Langley, and astronaut John Glenn goes out of his way to greet the West Area women. Katherine impresses Harrison by solving a complex mathematical equation from redacted documents, as the Soviet Union's successful launch of Yuri Gagarin increases pressure to send American astronauts into space.

Harrison confronts Katherine about her "breaks," unaware that she is forced to walk half a mile (800 meters) to use the nearest bathroom. She angrily explains the discrimination she faces at work, which leads Harrison to knock down the "Colored Bathroom" sign and abolish bathroom segregation. He allows Katherine to be included in high-level meetings to calculate the space capsule's re-entry point. Stafford makes Katherine remove her name from reports, insisting that "computers" cannot author them, and her work is credited solely to Stafford.

Informed by Mitchell that there are no plans to assign a "permanent supervisor for the colored group," Dorothy learns NASA has installed an IBM 7090 electronic computer that threatens to replace human computers. When a librarian scolds her for visiting the whites-only section, Dorothy takes a book about Fortran and teaches herself and her West Area co-workers programming. She visits the computer room, successfully starts the machine, and is promoted to supervise the Programming Department; she agrees to do so if thirty of her co-workers are transferred as well. Mitchell finally addresses her as "Mrs. Vaughan".

Making final arrangements for John Glenn's launch, the department no longer needs human computers; Katherine is reassigned to the West Area and marries Jim. On the day of the launch, discrepancies are found in the IBM 7090 calculations, and Katherine is asked to check the capsule's landing coordinates. She delivers the results to the control room, and Harrison allows her inside. After a successful launch and orbit, a warning indicates the capsule's heat shield may be loose. Mission Control decides to land Glenn after three orbits instead of seven, and Katherine supports Harrison's suggestion to leave the retro-rocket attached to help keep the heat shield in place. ''Friendship 7'' lands successfully.

Though the mathematicians are ultimately replaced by electronic computers, a textual epilogue reveals Mary obtained her engineering degree and became NASA's first female African-American engineer; Dorothy continued as NASA's first African-American supervisor; and Katherine, accepted by Stafford as a report co-author, went on to calculate the trajectories for the Apollo 11 and Space Shuttle missions. In 2015, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2016, NASA dedicated the Langley Research Center's Katherine Johnson Computational Building in her honor.

The ghost of William Spanner (David Byrnes) searches for anyone who can communicate with him. He finds Sheila (Landon Hall), a woman who gained psychic powers after a car accident. Spanner needs to ward girlfriend Keli (Kourtine Ballentine) that the person she is living with is an impostor.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Department detectives Lutz (Stephanie Beaton) and Garner (Mikul Robins) realizes they don't have an ordinary serial killer on its hands when they uncover a series of murders involving beautiful young women with bodies partially eaten. When a hooker is brought in telling tales of evil warlocks and witches, the police officers begin to suspect the killer is not just psychotic but supernatural hooded man.

Lutz, Garner, and Will-in-Sheila's-body converge on the apartment building as the hooded man and fake Will prepare to do something horrible to Keli

Joseph is the new student at a school in Ireland, having just moved to Ireland from an unidentified country in Africa. Throughout the film he is silent, in deep contrast to the flashbacks of his life back in Africa where he is bright and talkative.

As the three boys stand in the hallway, they begin to bond by mocking the teacher's eccentric ways. They laugh as Hazel O'Hara attempts to persuade the teacher that Christian is guilty. Joseph finally smiles, knowing he has now made friends.

As a series of minor earthquakes start tearing apart Los Angeles, scientist Emily of the USGS theorizes that it is all building to a super quake that will drop the entire city into a lava-filled chasm. Engineer Jack whose daughter has gone camping with her friends in the danger area and whose company is responsible for the quakes due to their deep fracking feels obligated to help, and races with Emily through the increasingly damaged city with the hopes of diverting the epicenter to Long Beach and potentially saving millions of lives in the city of Los Angeles.

This is the second attempt by Televisa in producing this series. The 2003 version began production strangely enough without originally being called "Las Amazonas". Midway through production, executives decided to change the title. This created all sorts of confusion as not even the actors back new the name of the product. Matters were not helped as the script called for the character of Victoriano to affectionately call his daughters Amazons, due to their ability to ride thoroughbred horses in the ranch. The soap opera finally come up with a name: "Niña Amada Mía" ("My beloved girl") as the production wanted to vertically integrate popular songs making he public identify the song with their drama. The theme song was sung by Mexican superstar Alejandro Fernandez.

In the Spring of 1917, following the February Revolution, Russian troops fighting in the First World War are heavily demoralised. Military commanders decide to create a battalion of enthusiastic women volunteers, led by Maria Bochkareva. After basic military training, the women are sent to the front.

Eggsy Unwin has officially joined the Kingsman intelligence service, taking his late mentor Harry Hart's title of “Galahad”, and begun a relationship with Tilde, Crown Princess of Sweden. He is ambushed by Charlie Hesketh, a former Kingsman trainee who lost his arm and vocal cords during the Valentine incident, replacing them with cybernetics. Eggsy evades Charlie and his henchmen in a car chase across London, but Charlie's severed cybernetic arm hacks into the Kingsman database through Eggsy's car. Charlie passes the information to Poppy Adams — leader of the world's largest drug cartel, the Golden Circle — who launches a volley of missiles that destroy the Kingsman headquarters and wipe out all its agents in Britain, aside from Eggsy and Merlin, Kingsman's tech support.

Kingsman’s emergency protocol leads Eggsy and Merlin to Statesman, an American private intelligence service posing as a Bourbon whiskey distillery in Kentucky. There, they discover that Harry survived his shooting thanks to Statesman nanotechnology, but is suffering from amnesia. They also learn about the Golden Circle from Statesman head Champagne, and the two agencies agree to work together to bring the cartel down. Statesman agent Tequila later develops a blue rash and shows signs of mania, and is replaced by agent Whiskey as Eggsy's partner. Eggsy plants a tracking device on Charlie's ex-girlfriend Clara Von Gluckfberg during a sexual encounter at Glastonbury Festival, but his revelation of the mission to Tilde strains their relationship.

Eggsy cures Harry's amnesia by threatening to shoot a Cairn Terrier puppy that resembles Harry's late dog, shortly before Poppy broadcasts a message to the world about a toxin she has added to all her drugs, which causes users to develop symptoms like Tequila's before paralysis and, ultimately, death. She offers the antidote if the President of the United States ends his country's war on drugs and grants her cartel immunity from prosecution. The President decides to quarantine everyone affected, intending to let them all die to put Poppy out of business and rid the world of drug users he sees as criminals.

Eggsy, Harry, and Whiskey track Clara to the Golden Circle's antidote factory in Italy. Eggsy steals an antidote sample, which is broken by Whiskey during an ambush by the Golden Circle's henchmen, leading Harry to suspect him of working against them. Harry shoots Whiskey in the head, but Eggsy, believing Harry to be delusional as a result of his recovery, saves him with nanotechnology. Tilde calls Eggsy in a manic state, revealing she has been affected by the blue rash after taking drugs due to her stress over Eggsy's infidelity. Eggsy, Harry, and Merlin discover the location of Poppy's hideout, "Poppy Land", in Cambodia and fly there to steal the laptop which can deploy the drones carrying the antidote.

Arriving at Poppy Land, Eggsy steps on a land mine, but Merlin sacrifices himself instead. Storming the lair, Eggsy kills Charlie while Harry destroys Poppy's robotic attack dogs with the help of Elton John, who had been kidnapped by Poppy. They secure the laptop and inject Poppy with a concentrated dose of her own toxin-infused heroin. Poppy gives them the laptop password in a drugged state, but dies from an overdose due to the heroin. Whiskey interrupts them before they can deploy the drones, revealing that he wants all drug users to die after his pregnant wife was killed in a robbery by meth addicts. Eggsy and Harry fight and kill Whiskey, then deploy the drones to release the antidote, saving the affected victims throughout the world.

The President is impeached for conspiring to commit genocide against drug victims, and Statesman purchases a distillery in Scotland to help rebuild Kingsman. Statesman tech support specialist Ginger Ale is appointed to Whiskey’s position, Eggsy marries Princess Tilde, and Tequila takes an exchange assignment at Kingsman, which acquires a new tailor shop in London.

Prologue-Chapter 20 (Pages 1-112)

The book begins with the main characters- Dak Smyth and Sera Froste. They are sitting on a tree on a Saturday afternoon, thinking about the troubles of the world. Meanwhile, Brint Takashi and Mari Rivera, his second-in-command are Hystorians, a group committed to putting history back on the right track. However, they know that the world is about to end, as suggested by disasters all around the world. The end of the world is known as the Cataclysm. However, they are tracking Dak's parents and their progress. Dak and Sera are both nerds, with Dak interested in history and Sera interested in science. The day after an awkward funeral at Dak's Great-Uncle Frankie, Dak, Sera, and their class goes to the Smithsonian Museum. As Dak soaks in everything, Sera is bored with the history. Suddenly, an earthquake rocks the building, nearly causing a Viking long ship to fall on Dak and Sera. After the disaster, Sera experiences a Remnant, a feeling that some things should've been. When she goes to Dak to share it, he allows her to enter his parents' lab. Soon, Sera has completed a device called the Infinity Ring that allows time-travel. When Dak's parents return, they also learn about the completed device, and soon, they travel back in time using the device. However, when they return, Dak and Sera find that Dak's parents are gone.

Soon, a dozen SQ members storm the lab of Dak's parents, although the pair finds out that it actually isn't the SQ. They were captured by the Hystorians, an organizations established by Aristotle in 336 B.C. in order to save the world from the Cataclysm and put history on the right track. And now, Sera and the Smyth's have given them time-travel and allowed them to fix the great Breaks, or times in history that turned out wrong. When Brint and Mari introduce them to the Hystorians, only Riq stands out. He was far younger than every one else, with dark skin and eyes. He also knows sixteen languages and is sixteen years old. Soon, the SQ storms the compound, and Sera, Riq, and Dak quickly use the Infinity Ring to escape. They reach the Great Pyramid of Giza thousands of years ago, and they discuss their next move. This is the first Break:

"Sally forth, astute and wise/Search the page, find the prize/ Centuries pass, mind and heart/ Devoted to the Memory's Art." After Riq solves the Art of Memory, they go to Palos de la Frontera on August 3, 1492. However, they meet a Time Warden of the SQ, and have to escape.

Chapter 21-Chapter 36 (Pages 113-190)

After escaping from the Time Warden, they find their Hystorian, a butcher named Gloria. They discuss the Break that they have to fix, and learns that Queen Isabella has commissioned a major voyage. The group believes that they must help the Amancio brothers- Salvador and Raul- complete a mutiny against the cruel captain Christopher Columbus. Gloria helps them get on the boat that the mutiny is about to happen on, through the help of a one-eyed man named Eyeball. The kids have to work extremely hard while on the ship, the Santa Maria. Although they still believe that the mutiny must happen, they soon discover that Raul and Salvador are SQ. The kids meets "riffraff", or the lowest of the low, including Ricardo, Francisco, and Daniel. However, Eyeball hears them discuss the mutiny and puts them in the brig. They are to be killed next morning. However, Eyeball is actually on their side, due to his love for Gloria. The riffraff expose the Amancio brothers and battle them to prevent the mutiny. However, Raul throws Dak overboard. He soon learns that Salvador is dead and Raul was thrown overboard, too. However, Raul tries to drown Dak, and Sera uses the Infinity Ring to warp herself, Dak, and Riq to another place, a warehouse. However, they find a wanted poster for Dak's parents. Meanwhile, Brint and Mari reflect on the SQ attack, and Brint wonders if his high school was always named after Columbus.

The story is set in FunJungle, the largest zoo in America and the only zoo/theme park, which is built in the middle of the Texas Hill Country and owned by billionaire J.J. McCracken. The zoo's star attraction is Henry Hippo, the namesake of a beloved character in an animated series used to plug the park, but who in reality was particularly bad-tempered and had an unfortunate habit of projectile-firing feces at visitors. The book begins when Teddy Fitzroy, the 12-year-old narrator and son of a photographer and a gorilla researcher, is caught giving the chimpanzees water balloons (to help them defend themselves from badly behaved visitors) at FunJungle, his parents' new job site, by "Large" Marge O'Malley, a notorious and unintelligent security guard. Marge's report is then ruined when Buck Grassley, the head of security, reports that Henry Hippo is dead. Doc Deakin, the cranky head veterinarian, decides to perform an autopsy against the wishes of Martin del Gato, the director of operations. Teddy secretly watches the autopsy and discovers that Henry died from peritonitis induced by sharp items he swallowed, with Doc concluding it was murder; however, Martin forces the vet to keep it under wraps. Against his mother's wishes and when the police don't take him seriously, Teddy decides to investigate Henry's enclosure.

The next day, Teddy meets J.J. McCracken's daughter, Summer, who dislikes the attention of fans and has a habit of ditching her bodyguards in disguise to experience a normal life. Summer and Teddy sneak into Henry's pool to investigate his death, finding a metal ball with sharp points, revealed to be a jack from the gift shop filed down, and a groove in the bottom with a chain. When Teddy confronts Doc, the panicked vet takes the jack from him in the operating room, but not before Teddy sees a dead jaguar on the table.

Teddy is set up when a text seemingly from Summer lures him to the black mamba cage, which is cut open with the deadly snake appearing to have escaped. A team of herpetologists sweeps the reptile house but are unable to find it. It is also discovered that the security footage was missing around the time of the incident. Forced to sneak out of his mother's clutches and meet Summer to talk to Charlie Conner, a disgruntled employee who once was bitten by Henry, Teddy finds out that Charlie overheard Pete Thwacker, the incompetent head of public relations, and Marge O'Malley plotting to kill Henry after he fired feces at visitors yet again. Teddy talks to Buck about his suspicions, with Buck revealing that Charlie was a former armed robber. Buck then asks Teddy to obey his mother and leave investigating to the experts.

After a tiger is released from its pit near Teddy and Doc, both Teddy and his parents become suspicious that something more than Henry's murder is going on and they seek out a list of recently deceased animals, finding out that all but one large animal that died before Henry were from the Amazon rainforest. The family use the cover of Henry's funeral to sneak into the administration building and look through the blueprints for the hippo exhibit to find out the reason for the groove Teddy found, discovering that J.J. McCracken plans to build thrill rides through several animal exhibits. Teddy's parents are arrested and Teddy is chased through the funeral until an accident involving Henry's corpse exploding stops the pursuit, allowing Teddy to escape and contact Doc.

Doc explains that he suspects Martin in Henry's murder due to his involvement in an emerald-smuggling scheme in which the South American gems were stitched inside zoo animals from the same region. It is revealed that Martin blackmailed Doc to keep his illegal activities secret by threatening to turn in his daughter, a member of the Animal Liberation Front (who were also briefly Henry murder suspects), for blowing up a meat-packing plant. After being chased yet again, Teddy reaches J.J. and is able to present the evidence given by Doc in his office. Both Martin and Buck Grassley are exposed as Henry's murderers, with the revelation that Buck killed him in an attempt to force out a bag of emeralds he'd swallowed when Buck cornered Martin with them. The story ends with Marge O'Malley being promoted to Buck's place after stopping his escape attempt, J.J. promising to hold off on the rides, and Teddy and Summer watching the birth of a new hippo a month later.

William Jarrett, the story's narrator, boards the ''Morrow'', a sailing ship, in Liverpool. The ship is bound New York City. Here he meets Miss Janette Harford. They become friendly and connect in a deep way which (William assures the reader) is not love. When he confesses to Janette, she looks at him strangely, before closing her eyes. She appears to have fallen asleep. Her finger has fallen on a passage from Denneker's ''Meditations'' concerning souls meeting and knowing one another beyond the body. A storm sets in. Havoc results. The ship begins to sink. After Janette is ripped away from William, he passes out.

Jarrett awakens in a berth on a steamship called the ''City of Prague''. It had left port at the same time as the ''Morrow''. Jarrett had originally been invited to go aboard it with his friend Gordon Doyle. Doyle finds Jarrett and tries to deduce what is going on. Jarrett slowly learns that he boarded the ''City of Prague'' when she set sail. He learns that Janette is Gordon's fiancée, who was sent on the ''Morrow'' so that Doyle could settle matters in New York before her arrival. The book that Doyle is reading is, again, Denneker's ''Meditations''. The volume has a special passage marked. It is apparently a second copy, which Janette had given him. When Gordon and Jarrett arrive in New York, they look for the ''Morrow'' to arrive. It never returns.

After working in a factories for low pay for years, Asao and his long-time friend Kikuo Higuchi buy their own dump truck and call it "Independence No. 1". They pay monthly installments on it from their profits working for a transportation company. While enjoying their newfound happiness, they think back on their old friends Kiyoshi Yabe, a fisherman's son, Ichiro, a factory worker's son, and Ryuji, the son of pioneer farmers.

Years earlier, following the closing of the factory, the five are living together in the men's dorm until it and the factory are auctioned off and they are kicked out. That night Ryuji has his debut boxing match and his friends get arrested for fighting with hecklers. Ryuji fights with the police in order to be placed in the cell with his friends for the night, where they hatch the plan to pool their money for the next year to buy their own dump truck. When released, they dedicate themselves to their respective jobs and save their paychecks.

In the present, Kiyoshi's mother and sister visit him in prison after he falls behind on his payments for the truck and gets caught by the police trying to steal merchandise from a warehouse. Asao recalls when he was robbed of his earnings and Kiyoshi prevented him from taking a knife and killing them in revenge. Ichiro has gotten a girl pregnant multiple times and must borrow money from Asao and Kikuo after already having taken back the money he was supposed to contribute to the truck. Ryuji was beaten to death by police for interfering with their assault on striking workers. His sister tells Asao and Kikuo that they should keep his money for the truck and gives them a rear-view mirror decoration of a pair of boxing gloves Ryuji had bought for them.

After ten days of rain, Asao and Kikuo are desperate for work to make their installment payment so they accept a gravel transportation job from their boss, angering the striking workers at their company. After Asao scraps the truck against a rock wall, the two men get into a fight. Asao apologizes, then goes out drinking at Ryuji's sister's bar and sleeps with her. The striking workers spray paint the friends' truck as "Strikebreaker No. 1" so they are forced to repaint it.

Kiyoshi escapes from prison and hides out with Asao to recover from a gunshot wound from a cop he killed during the escape. When Yukiko finds him, he pulls a knife and demands the keys to the truck from Asao, then drops it when Asao says that Kiyoshi must kill him first. Kiyoshi admits that he never became a fisherman because of his fear of the sea and says that he might be able to start over if he sees it. Kikuo threatens to tell the police but Asao punches him and takes Kiyoshi away in the truck. Asao drives through the night but Kiyoshi dies just as they reach the sea. Asao drives off a cliff toward the sea but they crash on the beach below and Kiyoshi is burned in the wreckage while Asao climbs out. Asao is arrested and ends up in prison. Kikuo and Yukiko meet at the wreckage site, where Kikuo finds the boxing gloves decoration and decides to start his life over as well.

'''Opening quote:''' "There she paused for a while thinking... but the temptation was so great that she could not conquer it."

A young woman, Faith Collins, is running along a road, tormented by visions, and is hit by a car. The driver, Leroy Kent, calls an ambulance while a mysterious man arrives and suffocates her to death before disappearing. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are called to investigate and find glass cuts in her arms. They interrogate her husband, Roy, as he has been reported for domestic abuse, but he doesn't reveal anything.

Following up on a social media post she made, Nick and Hank arrive at a bed and breakfast and question the owner, Billy Capra (Patrick Fischler). He says that Faith appeared at the B&B but didn't stay. He shows them the garden, where Nick sees Capra shift into creature form. Nick and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) later identify him as a Ziegevolk, whose pheromones make women fall in love with him. Nick and Hank discover that other women have gone missing since Capra arrived in Portland, some of them later turning up pregnant. Capra is shown feeding three women caged up in his basement.

Nick tells Monroe to follow Capra to a bar while Hank sneaks into the B&B. Hank discovers the caged women but stumbles into a booby trap and is incapacitated. Nick arrives shortly after Capra leaves the bar. He finds Hank, but they're locked in by Capra, who turns on the gas. Nick and Hank break down the door to escape, but Capra has already escaped with a woman from the bar.

Meanwhile, a man (Henri Lubatti) shows up in the police station, asking Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) for the officer (Nick) who killed his friend, Hulda (the Reaper that tried to kill Marie). Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) tells him to check his information. Renard later meets with the man, admonishing him for arriving at Portland without his permission and cutting his ear off with his own scythe, telling him to never come back.

Nick and Hank follow Capra using a tracking device attached to his car. They find him in a park: he flees, but is hit by a car. As Nick and Hank walk away, Capra uses his pheromones on a female paramedic.

A young writer finds himself trapped between his mother (Laura Betti), a horrible actress, and the knowledge that he has only mediocre talent as a playwright and almost no character. After the young man suffers the loss of his mistress at the hands of his stepfather, also a novelist, his self-esteem is so shattered that he commits suicide.

Francesco Improta is an honest fruit and vegetable peddler who lives with his elderly mother Assunta and daughter Fiorella. His wife Lucia left home two years earlier, as, in order to help the family, she did not hesitate to give herself to the boss Peppino Ascalone, with whom she is now forced to live together. Francesco decides to welcome his wife back to get her away from her lover: he telephones her, but the communication is interrupted by Peppino, who is accused by Lucia of the disdain for the state she is in because of him. In response, Ascalone slaps her, causing her to escape, before receiving a visit from another boss, Nicola Esposito, who colds him with three gunshots and then runs away. Just at that moment Francesco enters the villa, being therefore mistakenly found guilty of the murder of Ascalone: the man is sentenced to fifteen years.

Locked up in prison, Francesco suffers the harassment of the head of the prison guards, but at the same time receives the solidarity of his cellmates, as well as Pasqualino and Ciccio, two clumsy criminals from his neighborhood. After some time, Francesco receives a visit from Assunta, increasingly weakened: his mother reveals to him the hopes of an acquittal on appeal, but also reminds him that Fiorella's first communion, scheduled for Easter, is just around the corner. Before being arrested, in fact, Francis promised his daughter to sing the Ave Maria to her in the church during the ceremony.

A few days later, Nicola Esposito got himself translated in Procida. The boss, respected and feared even by the guards themselves, knows of Francesco's alleged guilt of the murder he himself committed, and tries to make friends with him, receiving a disrespectful welcome. Five days before Easter, anxious for his daughter's imminent First Communion, Francis strongly protests with the guards, asking to go out. Esposito decides to exploit the circumstance to implement his plan: to kill Francesco, in order to wash off the offense. The boss convinces him to flee on Easter Eve: but Francesco is warned of the trap, and when he is on the threshold, he forces Esposito to go out first: the man, mistaken by the guards for Francesco, is riddled and reduced to death by the guards. Francesco manages to escape, but is recognized and wounded in the shoulder.

Back on the mainland, Francesco finds Assunta sick in bed, telling her that he has been freed. Saved her mother just in time and despite being bleeding, she manages to go to church and fulfill Fiorella's wish, singing her the Ave Maria. Lucia was also present at the ceremony, begging the Madonna for the grace of being able to return with her family. Having recognized his good faith, Francesco decides to forgive his wife, and together the two embrace his daughter again. At the exit from the church there is the police commissioner. Francesco believes he has to go back to jail, but the manager has come to reveal his innocence to him: on the verge of death Esposito confessed to Pasqualino and Ciccio that he had killed Ascalone. The Improta family can thus happily reunite.

Prego offers a humorous take on unplanned pregnancies, it follows the story of Emily (played by Katie Vincent), a young woman confronting a one-night stand (played by Taso Mikroulis) with the revelation that she's pregnant. Things go from bad to worse as she comes to grips with the realization that the man may not be a suited father figure to her unborn child.

The film alternates between the early years of World War II and the end of the 20th century.

Rose McNulty (Vanessa Redgrave) has been a patient in the Sligo Regional Mental Hospital for 50 years since being accused of murdering her baby in 1942. The facility is scheduled for demolition. Dr. Stephen Grene (Eric Bana) is a psychiatrist who, at the request of the local Catholic Church, is evaluating whether Rose should be transferred or released. He grew up in the area and has returned to sell his parents' home. Rose is adamant that she did not kill her baby and tells her story to Stephen using the pages of a Bible on which she has written and drawn an account of her life before her incarceration.

Around 1940, Rose (Rooney Mara), an orphaned young woman, evacuates from Northern Ireland, a region within the United Kingdom, to live with her aunt in the Irish Free State (what later becomes the Republic of Ireland), a dominion within the British Commonwealth that has remained neutral. There, without any intent, she attracts the interest of many of the local men. She has a brief flirtation with Michael McNulty (Jack Reynor), a Protestant who sympathises with the British war effort and soon leaves to join the RAF. She tries to avoid the inappropriate attention of the local Catholic priest, Father Gaunt (Theo James). She dances with Jack Conroy (Aidan Turner), one of a group of anti-British Catholics. Seeking to avoid trouble after a fight between Father Gaunt and Jack, her aunt sends Rose to live in a deserted farmhouse outside the village.

One day a plane crashes nearby and Rose discovers the pilot hanging from a tree, trapped in his parachute. She cuts him down, discovers it is Michael and shelters him while he recovers, hiding him from the anti-British locals. They grow close and just as he is about to leave they confess their love, have sex, and are quickly married by the local Protestant minister. Before Michael can leave, the anti-British locals seize him from Rose's cottage and later kill him.

Father Gaunt, knowing that Rose had slept with Michael, writes a damning report of Rose's mental health, stating she suffers from "nymphomania". With the permission of her aunt, her only living relative, she is incarcerated in a local mental hospital and where subjected to both insulin shock therapy (insulin coma therapy) and later, electric shock therapy (ECT or electroconvulsive therapy). She discovers that she is pregnant and learns that babies born to single women are given up for adoption or spend their entire lives within the institution. She escapes to the beach. Pursued by Father Gaunt, she swims to a cove where she gives birth. The officer from the ''Garda Síochána'' in pursuit in a boat with Gaunt can see Rose striking the ground with a rock and believes that she is killing her newborn son. In truth, Father Gaunt has taken the baby.

In the present Stephen reveals to Rose's nurse (Susan Lynch) that his own father tried to tell him something about his parentage on his deathbed. He reads a passage from Rose's writing that suggests the baby was born in spring and an official document states 1 May 1942, the same day he was born. Searching his parents' papers, he finds a letter to him from his father revealing that he was indeed adopted and enclosed is a cross from his real father. He then figures out who his real parents are. Stephen returns to the mental asylum and shows Rose the letter. Stephen takes Rose to his family home.

Opening sequence

The Jewel of the Realm ship appears in the red-tinted forest.

Event chronology

The Enchanted Forest events from take place after the first flashback scene of "Swan Song" and before "Good Form". The Underworld events take place after "Devil's Due".

In the Characters' Past

In the early years of the Enchanted Forest, Liam and Killian are miserable and under servitude after their father sold them into slavery. Liam is hoping that he and Killian can escape by joining the Navy. Unfortunately, Killian becomes drunk and gambles away their prospects. Although Liam is still able to join, he vows to not leave without his brother. Some time later, their ship crosses paths with a hurricane en route to a sought-after treasure described as "The Eye of the Storm." Knowing the dangers of venturing into the hurricane, Liam holds a successful mutiny against the crew's Captain Silver. Soon after the mutiny, Hades appears in the Captain's quarters and makes a deal with Liam: Hades will to take the souls of the men on the ship besides those of Liam and his brother in return for the Eye of the Storm (which will guarantee the survivors a spot in the Royal Navy). Liam agrees and sails into the hurricane that kills the crew but spares the Jones brothers. Liam gives the treasure to the Royal Navy and he and Killian are declared heroes, receive positions in the Navy, and given a ship: The Jewel of the Realm, which would later be known as the Jolly Roger.

In the Underworld

In the Underworld, Cruella and Henry are searching for the Author's quill. They split up and Henry notices a glimmering light, which leads him to the now-deceased Apprentice. The Apprentice explains that Henry is his unfinished business, and that he won't be able to move on until he knows that Henry will make the right decision. At Henry's behest, the Apprentice tells him that the quill is located in the Sorcerer's mansion, but warns Henry against using its power to resurrect Cruella.

Meanwhile, Emma uses her magic to heal Hook, but when she tried to kiss him Hook turns away, blaming himself for becoming dark. The two are then interrupted by Killian's dead brother Liam. Liam explains rumors of a book with the power to defeat Hades. Emma assumes it to be the Underworld equivalent of the "Once Upon a Time" book. Everyone searches Mary Margaret's apartment, but come up empty. Concerned that Emma is not good enough for his brother, Liam tells Emma that Hook and her should break up. Moments later, Henry returns and suggests they look for the book in the Sorcerer’s mansion. However, the key is located in the Sheriff's office which is occupied by James. After they leave, Hades visits Liam in a tavern and reveals that he knows of their plans. Hades blackmails Liam to destroy the Storybook pages concerning him, threatening to reveal to Liam's unfinished business to his brother. At the Sheriff's office, Snow and David find the key, only to encounter Cruella. While Mary Margaret hides, David pretends to be his brother James (who Cruella was expecting).

At the mansion, Emma, Regina, Hook, and Liam look for the storybook while Henry searches for the quill. Unknown to everyone, Liam has found the book and rips out the pages about Hades. At the same time, Henry rediscovers the quill. Meanwhile, David turns down Cruella's advances and learns that James has resented his brother for staying with their mother during their separate childhoods while James lived with his new father, the king.

The others find the book and notice its missing pages. While they keep looking, Liam tosses the pages into the well of Cocytus, outside the Mansion. Emma suspects Liam of lying and tells Hook, who refuses to believe her, and suggests that they break up after escaping the Underworld. After Emma storms off, Hook notices that Liam has ink on his fingers, and Captain Silver and the deceased crew appear. They kidnap the Jones brothers and reveal that Liam sold their lives for the Eye of the Storm. Liam and Killian are taken to the edge of the Underworld where they would be sent to an even worse afterlife. However, Hades appears, blows Captain Silver into the Phlegethon, the River of Fire, and offers Liam a chance to escape, pleased that he destroyed the pages. However, Liam refuses to go with Hades, who angrily throws Liam toward the flames. Hook tries to pull his brother up, but is unable to. Liam lets go and falls into the fiery abyss. Despite this, a boat appears with Liam, who is ready to enter a better afterlife (his unfinished business was making peace with Killian). Seeing this, Hades disappears, promising to make Hook pay for that. The deceased crew is also able to leave. Liam also tells Hook he was wrong about Emma; she does want what's best for him. Hook returns to see Emma and explains what has happened, revealing he now wants to return with her.

Henry tells David that he has found the quill, but admits that he plans to use the quill only in a positive way, starting with re-writing the missing Hades story that Liam ripped out. Meanwhile, Hades retrieves the missing pages from the Cocytus River. The pages show that he has some sort of connection with Zelena.

Hitoshi Aoshima is an unpopular high schooler with average grades. He longs to have a girlfriend, especially the beautiful and smart Ai Wagatsuma. One day he discovers he has time slipped 10 years in the future, where he is married to Ai. However, the time spent in the future is short-lived as he returns to regular time. Hitoshi is able to use some of his future knowledge to gain insights into what Ai likes, but soon discovers that some of his present actions can affect his future, including scenarios where he is not married to Ai. He also hangs out with a group of unpopular and quirky classmates called the DX Corps, and makes other friends including a female foreign exchange student and a fairly popular guy that the DX Corps disliked.

'''Opening quote:''' "Out they scampered from doors, windows and gutters, rats of every size, all after the piper."

DJ "Retchid Kat" performs at a rave. Meanwhile, music professor Paul Lawson is killed in his car when rats attack him. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are sent to investigate and discover "Geiger Pest Control" cages hidden nearby, leading them to question if they brought the rats there. While questioning Lawson's students, they learn that one of Lawson's students, Roddy Geiger (Nick Thurston), had been suspended for bad behaviour. They question Roddy and his father, but the pair resist and are arrested. Nick finds out they are Reinigen. Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) finds out that Roddy is "Retchid Kat", and since he was at the rave the night Lawson died, he is released. An autopsy reveals that Lawson died from a heart attack before the rats could kill him.

Roddy meets with Sarah Jennings (Amelia Rose Blair), one of Lawson's students, and tells her that her friends placed the pest control cages to frame him and his dad for the murder. Meanwhile, Hank and Wu go to a bar, where Hank leaves Wu and talks to Adalind Schade (Claire Coffee), while Renard (Sasha Roiz) watches from his car. Nick sends Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) to talk to Roddy and encourage him to stay calm and develop his musical talents. Monroe thinks it went well, but after he leaves, Roddy is notified his father has been injured in jail after refusing to enter his cell. Roddy becomes enraged and starts trashing the place.

Roddy takes his DJ mask and leaves with the rats for a warehouse party. Sarah and her friends arrive and Roddy plays his violin to send the rats after them. Nick and Hank arrive in time to rescue them. They finally admit that they used the rats to intimidate Professor Lawson and to frame Roddy. Nick finds Roddy but lets him go. Nick and Hank decide to leave the case as there's no believable evidence for an arrest. The episode ends as a repairman (a disguised creature), arrives at Nick's home to retrieve his tools, which he had been using to repair the fridge. He is clearly frightened of Nick, which confuses Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch).

The movie starts off after the events of Episode 3, when ''Kisaragi'' had sunk. The Mikawa Fleet (''Furutaka'', ''Aoba'', ''Kako'', ''Kinugasa'' and ''Tenryuu'') are in the middle of Night Battle(Battle of Savo Island). Choukai uses Searchlight and gets medium damage, but they win in the end. A New Fleet Girl gets "dropped", emerging from the sea. It is Kisaragi. Kisaragi is brought back to the temporary base in Solomon Islands, but she is suffering from PTSD and has amnesia, unable to remember anyone from back in the anime, excluding Mutsuki.

Meanwhile, the fleet celebrates their victory in the Ironbottom sound campaign. During the time Kisaragi slowly starts turning into an Abyssal Vessel, but she is still able to retain her consciousness and starts crying. Seeing the situation, Kaga finally reveals the secret: At the start of this war, there were two factions, Fleet Girls and Abyssal Vessels. Both fight for an unknown reason, but if Fleet Girls sink, they become Abyssal Vessels, and the vice versa can happen where a sunk Abyssal Vessel can turn into a Fleet Girl.

There is this crimson aura in some areas in the ocean, which indicates a source of heavy Abyssal power resides in there. Kaga was originally an Abyssal Vessel and retains her memory as an Abyssal Vessel. The Fleet decides to investigate and commences an operation, consisting of 4 task forces, where the true goal was to escort Fubuki into this dark portal in the middle of the Crimson Sea, which is a source of the Abyssal Vessels' power. (This portal looks practically the same as the final map in PS VITA KanColle Kai.)

Several battles occur, where several Fleet Girls become heavily damaged from battle but no one gets sunk. When they arrive at the Dark Portal, only Yamato, Mutsuki and Fubuki remain. Yamato and Mutsuki become Heavily Damaged from battle but out of nowhere, half-transformed Abyssal Kisaragi comes to their aid, and Fubuki takes the chance to jump into the Dark Portal.

It is revealed that this area was the place where the actual IJN Destroyer ''Fubuki'' got sunk in 1942 (Cape Esperance, the infamous 'Ware-Aoba'). The secret is revealed, that when all of the Ships sunk during back in World War II, their Souls left the ships, wandering around the sea, while constantly switching back and forth from Abyssal Vessels to Fleet Girls. Fubuki meets her Dark Persona, an Abyssal Fubuki, who tries to persuade Fubuki into becoming an Abyssal Vessel. Fubuki refuses, and both go through a mental breakdown through a Mind Battle, through which Fubuki and her doppelgänger become one.

Afterwards, the Dark Portal disappears, similar to when an Event map is cleared. Abyssal Vessels disappear from the area, but Abyssal Kisaragi disappears as well, after exchanging few last words with Mutsuki. Fubuki is afterwards promoted to both 11th Destroyer Division, as well as the Vanguard of the 2nd Torpedo Squadron for her efforts, but is immediately after called out for a mission, to which she promises her Dark Persona to make peace in the oceans one day.

In a post-credits scene, Mutsuki is able to reunite with Kisaragi; the movie concludes just as Mutsuki jumps to embrace her sister.

Opening sequence

Munchkins appear in the red-tinted forest.

Event chronology

The Oz events take place years after "Kansas" and many years before "Ruby Slippers". The Storybrooke events take place after "Devil's Due" and before "Last Rites". The Underworld events take place after "The Brothers Jones".

In the Characters' Past

Many years ago in the Land of Oz, Zelena is "celebrating" the day she was abandoned by her mother Cora. Her flying monkeys bring back a Scarecrow, whose brain she plans to steal and use to create a time travel spell to alter history. However, the Scarecrow is saved by Dorothy, who has come back to Oz using a pair of silver slippers. Zelena later confronts the Munchkins who told Dorothy that Zelena was still alive. Hades appears and offers his assistance to capture the Scarecrow, but Zelena replies that she needs no help and vanishes. However, Zelena later reconsiders. Hades reveals that his power is limited to the underworld unless he receives a kiss of true love. Later on, Hades brings Zelena to Dorothy’s bicycle so that they can find the Scarecrow. Hades enchants it so it will bring the two to Dorothy and they find an attraction between them. They arrive and Zelena takes The Scarecrow’s brain, but leaves Dorothy alive to prevent turning her into a martyr and to humiliate her. As Hades reveals his love for Zelena, but she believes that he is only manipulating her for true love's kiss and the time travel spell which he will use for his revenge against Zeus. Zelena demands that Hades leave Oz.

In Storybrooke

At the convent, Belle tends to baby Neal when she sees Mother Superior. A second Mother Superior shows up, telling Belle that her double is an impostor. Zelena reveals herself, who came back from Oz to take back her child. As she prepares to escape the convent, a portal opens that sends Belle, Zelena, and Zelena's baby to the Underworld.

In the Underworld

In the Underworld, the clock hand ticks again, signifying that yet another soul had moved on, while Hades reflects on the page depicting him with Zelena. At this point, 12 souls had moved on from the Underworld (since the clock in the Underworld had shifted from 8:15 to 8:27). Inside Hades' lair, Hades is furious that Gold is taking his time to create a portal to Storybrooke in order to transport Zelena’s baby daughter to him, telling him that the success of this plan will be the difference in whether or not Gold's secrets are revealed to Belle and if Gold's debt to Hades will be cancelled, unless he finishes the job quickly. Meanwhile, Snow and David discover that they can use a special phone to contact their son Neal through the process of haunting. At the loft, Henry is still feeling less useful even as he shows them illustrated drawings that seems to come to him but can't explain it.

Later on, Zelena surprises Robin, Regina, Emma, Henry, David and Snow and told them about the portal that brought her, Belle and the baby to the Underworld. At the same time, Belle catches up and surprises Gold who then comes clean about still being the Dark One and his reacquired powers, as well as her pregnancy, but then he tells Belle that she will have to choose whether or not she wants to be with him and that he will never change. Robin, Regina and Zelena catch up with Belle and return the baby to Zelena so she can feed her. However, Zelena was about deceive everyone by escaping with her daughter, only to have a change of heart and returning her baby, upon learning that her magic isn’t powerful enough in the Underworld to protect the baby by herself, having suspected that Hades brought her to the Underworld so that he can use her daughter to enact a time-travel spell. Meanwhile, at the loft, everyone starts to believe that Zelena, even without her powers, can help them. Henry also shows them more drawings, including the story of baby Neal hearing his parents, indicating that Snow and David succeeded in getting the message to their son.

Outside in the street, Zelena later confronts Hades to tell him that she will never give him her baby. Hades later admits to having feelings for her, claiming that he was simply trying to summon her daughter to keep it away from her enemies, and even going as far as creating an Underworld version of Storybrooke for them to share together. However, Zelena turns down Hades again. He finally tells her that if she ever changes her mind, he’ll always be waiting for her "at home" in the Underworld.

Event chronology

The Enchanted Forest events take place before "Family Business". The Underworld events take place after "Our Decay".

In the Characters' Past

In the Enchanted Forest, Belle's father Maurice wants to arrange a meeting between Belle and Gaston. As the two take a stroll in the woods they are interrupted by a noise and Gaston senses that it came from large animal. They find a young ogre in a pit trap and Gaston vows that he will bring the creature back to her father. However, Belle believes the ogre does not mean any harm and wants to find another so that does not involve killing it. Gaston agrees to go along with her idea. At her father's library, the two search for books before finding "An Alphabetic Inventory of Magical Antiquities", which lists all of the magical items in the kingdom. Belle finds details on a mirror which reveal the evil in a person's soul. She wishes to use the mirror on the ogre to see if he means the kingdom any harm. Belle also shows Gaston a book titled "Her Handsome Hero" which she says defines how a hero is supposed to act, with compassion. They nearly kiss, but Belle turns him down. Belle leaves to fetch the mirror and Gaston agrees to watch over the ogre.

Later, Belle tells her father about trapped ogre. When they arrive at the pit, Gaston is injured and claims the ogre had escaped and waited to attack him. Gaston suddenly sees the ogre and shoots at the creature with arrow from the tree. Gaston is ready to kill the ogre but Belle argues with him, believing there is a misunderstanding. During the argument Gaston breaks the mirror. When Belle sees the broken glass she notices Gaston's eyes glowing red. That, combined with several fresh wounds on the ogre, reveals that Gaston had tortured the ogre in order to provoke the creature so they would have reason to kill it. Belle lets the ogre escape.

Back at the castle, Maurice reveals that the ogres are now advancing on their kingdom and believes Belle's actions are to blame. He says that they cannot defend against the ogre army on their own and they need the help of Gaston's kingdom and that Belle will have to marry Gaston to obtain their help. Gaston arrives and proposes to Belle, and Belle reluctantly agrees, as she believes it is the only way to save the kingdom.

In the Underworld

Emma wakes up from a nightmare. In the dream, Hook, Snow White and herself are in the Underworld Graveyard attempting to use Emma's light magic to erase their names from the tombstones Hades had created. Hook sense something is wrong and a tornado appears. The three seek shelter behind a large crypt and Hook senses there is a large creature nearby. Snow attempts to face the creature and is taken away and presumably killed which wakes Emma. Emma tells Hook about the dream wondering if they are visions of the future. In the library, Regina has spent all night preparing a spell to break Hades' protection spell on the elevator by drawing runes all over the elevator door. Emma and Regina use their magic to open the door as they break the code and the door opens revealing a brick wall, their efforts proving futile. Emma outlines some of the details of the dream believing that she can erase their names from the tombstones to all everyone to leave the underworld. Hades is standing there to see Zelena when he notices a daisy growing in the broken road. Regina decides to talk to Zelena, who knows more about Hades rather than the others. When Regina visits Zelena, she realizes that her and Hades are in love. Zelena tells her that she (Zelena) is Hades' only weakness. At the underworld cemetery, Emma attempts to cast the spell from her dream, but suddenly starts believing the nightmare is coming true when the same storm appears. She, Hook and Snow ahead to Regina's vault, where Hook, Snow, and even Regina tell Emma not to give up. Emma failed everyone but she saved Hook's life. Snow White tells Emma that love is worth it.

Meanwhile, Belle issues an ultimatum to Gold, saying that this time she should take charge of things her in order to protect her child. Moments after Hades picked up the flower, which have suddenly started growing in the Underworld because the outsiders have bought hope, enlist Gaston, who was working at Storybrooke Pet Shelter. Hades wanted Gaston to take down everyone, startling with Gold, and handed Gaston a set of lethal arrows, which were forged in the River of Lost Souls (Acheron). When Gold and Belle attempt to look up a spell, they leave arguing over his use of Dark Magic, when they are met by an arrow fired by Gaston. Gold catches the next one, even as Belle tries to mediate. Gaston tells Belle that Gold (as Rumplestiltskin) was responsible for his death, as he aims another arrow, but just as he fires, Gold uses magic to relocate him and Belle to the docks. Belle is shocked to learn about how Gaston died, even as Gold was ready to use Dark Magic to defeat Gaston, but Belle refuses, believing that her goal to help Gaston move on would be solve the conflict and weaken Hades. While looking through Gaston's locker, Belle figured out that she was Gaston's unfinished business, when she finds a book called "Her Handsome Hero." After she asked Gold to leave, Belle is surprised by Hades, who showed up to offer her a deal: Let Gaston and Rumple fight to the death. If one of them threw the other into the River of Lost Souls, he would cancel the contract on Belle's baby.

When Gaston arrived to the Pawn Shop, he aims at what he thought was Gold but discovers a mannequin instead. He is then confronted by Belle, who now knows he was willing to kill Rumple and believed he still had feelings for her, only to learn that the book was punishment and a constant reminder of why he died. He was also shocked to discover Belle is now Gold's wife, and leaves furious. Belle tells Gold and made him promise not to hurt Gaston, but when she tells Gold about what Hades told her he just couldn't accept what Belle wanted. At the docks, Gold uses magic to choke Gaston by the throat, ready to send him to the River of Lost Souls, when Belle pulls the dagger and commands him not to hurt Gaston, and he drops Gaston on the ground. However, Gaston is unable to let his vendetta against Gold go, and when he goes for his arrow, Belle accidentally knocks Gaston out into the River of Lost Souls. Unfortunately, Belle discovers that because she saved Gold but interfered, Hades arrives to tell the couple that the contract allowing him to take their baby was still in effect, as Belle was the one who knocked Gaston into the Acheron, not Gold. He then looks at a withering daisy flower that he picks up, as a sign of hope fading away. The burned flower later shows up at Granny's Diner, as a gift to Zelena from Hades.

Finally, Emma, Regina, Hook, and Snow chase down the beast in the woods that Emma believes to be the same one from the dream, and uses her magic to stop it. When they reach the creature, they are shocked to find a wolf, only to learn from Snow as she put Ruby's cloak on a big bad wolf; it's actually Ruby, who has shown up in the Underworld, but unsure of whether or not she is still alive. Snow tells Emma that her dream was actually a vision pointing them to Ruby.

In the Characters' Past

In Oz, "some time ago," Ruby and Mulan encounter Dorothy's dog Toto in the woods while searching for Ruby's pack. Dorothy believes the growling Toto has identified Ruby as a witch, but Ruby explains her wolf heritage. Toto runs off, and Red insists on helping Dorothy track the dog, after Dorothy initially goes the wrong way. The three come upon Zelena, who demands the silver slippers from Dorothy as ransom for Toto, whom she has found. That night, Mulan, Ruby, and Dorothy brew a potion to use against Zelena. Ruby and Dorothy go to collect the last ingredient, a poppy. Dorothy explains that Toto was a final gift from her beloved Auntie Em, who died shortly after interceding to prevent Dorothy's family from having her committed due to her stories of Oz. Ruby reveals that she was expelled by her village after accidentally killing her boyfriend, Peter. She also shares that she still feels she is searching for something, but she no longer knows what. They collect the poppy but then are attacked by winged monkeys. Dorothy confirms that she trusts Ruby, so Ruby takes on her wolf form and carries Dorothy to safety. After they return to Mulan, a seemingly disconcerted Dorothy goes off alone. Ruby tells Mulan that she thinks Dorothy is what she has been looking for, but she is afraid Dorothy is disgusted by her wolf identity; Mulan reveals that she regrets not having told someone how she felt, and urges Ruby not to make the same mistake, as Dorothy might return her feelings. But Ruby discovers Dorothy has fled. At the Emerald Palace, Dorothy confronts Zelena, who pricks her with a sleeping curse.

In the Underworld

Ruby is surprised to find herself in the Underworld, as she had been pursuing Zelena via a tracking spell; Ruby believes the wolf in her has destroyed another life: Dorothy's, and she wants to make it right. Emma explains that Zelena is in the Underworld, and suggests they confront her. Hades informs Zelena of Ruby's presence, and Zelena decides to use the silver slippers to leave in order to avoid further damning herself in Regina's eyes. But Regina and the others arrive before she can leave. Zelena reveals that she put Dorothy under a sleeping curse, and that it can't be broken as Dorothy has no loved ones to provide a "true love's kiss." At Regina's urging, Zelena hands over the silver slippers. Ruby realizes that Dorothy's late Auntie Em might be in the Underworld, and they find her at a diner she runs. She agrees to blow a kiss into a bottle for Ruby to bring to Dorothy, but Hades appears and turns Em into a liquid, by contaminating her soup with liquid from the River of Lost Souls, and bottles her up. He declares the Storybrooke visitors anathema, and that anyone who works with them would be under penalty of the same punishment. Ruby is distraught, and Snow asks her if she loves Dorothy; Ruby admits it, but is afraid to try to give Dorothy true love's kiss, as she doesn't know if Dorothy ever reciprocated her feelings. Snow convinces her to try. Zelena goes to Hades' lair, where he pours Em into the River of Lost Souls, and explains that he has done this only because Dorothy is Zelena's enemy. She agrees to try to accept him into her life, and they share a drink.

Belle visits Zelena and asks for her help, "as a mother." Zelena hears her out, and Belle becomes even more worried after remembering that Zelena's pregnancy was magically accelerated. Belle later goes to Gold, revealing that Zelena has given her the pin with the sleeping curse. Belle believes the curse will put her beyond Hades' reach until the contract can be destroyed; she tells Gold to bring her to her father to break the curse, and then pricks herself.

Meanwhile, David discovers that Cruella is having the phone booth removed by Claude (who was a guard for Regina that Hook killed in the season 2 "Queen of Hearts" episode) on Hades' orders; she offers to let them use it if Henry will write her back to life, but he refuses. David and Snow become so distraught, Emma insists that one of them must return to Storybrooke to be with their son, Neal; they assume it must be David, but Killian uses the enchantment Hades put on his hook to replace Snow's name with David's on the tombstone, allowing her to leave. Using the slippers, Ruby and Snow depart for Oz.

Henry writes story pages showing that Dorothy was successfully revived, and that Snow is with Neal in Storybrooke.

In Oz

Ruby and Snow arrive in Oz to discover Mulan and the Munchkins standing vigil over the sleeping Dorothy. Ruby kisses Dorothy, breaking the curse. Dorothy explains that she left Ruby to protect her; having discovered her own feelings for Ruby, she feared Zelena would harm Ruby. They continue to kiss.

In The Characters' Past

Many years ago, in the Enchanted Forest, a young Regina wishes that her mother Cora had more time to play. Without her mother watching her, Regina finds a magic wand and attempts to transform her doll into a real sister with whom to play, only to have the spell backfire, knocking her unconscious. Cora and Prince Henry realizes that the only way to save her is by bringing a magical family member to wake her up. Consequently, Cora visits Oz to bring back Zelena, who just used her magic to restock the logs she dropped. This angers her abusive adoptive father, who doesn't want Zelena to use her “wicked” magic. Cora immediately freezes the woodcutter as he is about to hit her (her adoptive mother wasn't around to protect Zelena this time), then gives Zelena the opportunity to prove that her magic can be used for good, which she accepts. As Zelena is able to wake Regina, the two are unaware of their being sisters at first, but over time become close, and quickly realize that they're related, when Zelena accidentally opens Cora's wand box, leading to Cora admitting that Regina and Zelena are sisters. Despite Regina's pleas to have Zelena in her life, Cora, believing that Zelena's presence will interfere with Regina's future of becoming the next queen, wipes both of their memories and sends Zelena back to Oz.

In the Underworld

As they look at the burning night sky over the Underworld Storybrooke, Hades and Zelena are on a date, as he explained why he created the world for her, then tells Zelena that he wants to follow her back to the real Storybrooke, if he is able to restore his heart and become human again. However, he also tells Zelena that in order to do that he wants to leave the outsiders in the Underworld forever, then he asks her to be his partner in chaos (a modified version of a wedding proposal), leaving Zelena feeling awkward. Hades also tells her that he took the precaution of adding the remaining outsiders' names to more tombstones, after Mary Margaret had her name replaced by David's. Unfortunately for Zelena, Regina saw this through a magic mirror, and then confronts Zelena afterwards, as the latter thinks that Hades, like Robin Hood (or Regina), might not be a villain forever. Regina explain this to the rest of the outsiders, saying that Zelena was thinking irrationally and in danger, and telling them that the only way to solve this problem was to go to Cora, to break them up. Cora is working in the Underworld Mill, situated above the Lethe, the yellow-colored River of Forgetfulness, and supervised by two guards. She finds a hook hidden under the stalks on grain, cuts off the black anti-magic handcuff, and uses her magic to knock out the guards. Escaping, she bumps into Hook who retrieves his hook and brings her to Regina.

When she discovers the truth about Zelena's feelings for Hades' from Regina, Cora suspects that her daughter is being played for a fool by Hades, so she makes a potion from the Lethe that would make Zelena forget about Hades. When Cora finally meets Zelena, this mother-daughter reunion doesn't go smoothly as planned, and even Zelena is on to what they did with the water from the River Lethe they put the spell on, as she turns down her mother's false apology. This leads to a fight between Regina and Zelena but before this escalates, Cora restores their childhood memories of each other and she regretted the way she raised them, and apologizes to her daughters. Now that the sisters have made peace, Cora decides that it's time for her to move on from her unfinished business. As they see their mother walk toward the bridge, the flames from the River of Fire erupt and wrap around her. But the flames die down, the bridge forms, and the gate opens, allowing Cora to move on to Mount Olympus to join her husband, Prince Henry Mills. Later on, Regina gives Zelena her blessing to be with Hades, who is waiting for her at the Underworld Diner for their second date, which Zelena sees as an opportunity to reform him.

In another situation involving sibling rivalries, David is confronted by James, who he blames for being taken away from their mother and being consigned to a worse life with King George. After James knocks David out by using his stun gun, he tricks his niece Emma and Robin Hood to lead him to Zelena's baby. James reveals himself when they reach the rendezvous point, after slapping an anti-magic cuff on Emma, and is joined by Cruella, who is still looking for a way to escape the Underworld, by stealing Zelena's baby for leverage with Hades. When Cruella and James enter the harbor, as part of their plan to send Emma and Robin into the River of Lost Souls, which will kill them, as they are still alive. David and Hook arrive to rescue Emma and Robin, before it's too late. Hook grabs the gun dropped by James and removed the cuffs from Emma, and Cruella runs back to safety. Meanwhile, David attempts to help James move on while confronting him, as James continues to believe that killing David is the "unfinished business" that is keeping him in the Underworld. After David's plea to help James falls on deaf ears, the twins continue fighting each other on the edge of the dock, with David wanting the others to stay out of the struggle. As James begins to lose, he pulls out a boot knife, despite David's pleas to stop. David eventually twists James off into the River of Lost Souls, condemning him to eternal torment, while Cruella flees the scene. Emma tells her father that there was nothing he could do to save James, despite his best efforts, and that some people just won't ever move on.

In between the events, Gold is looking over Belle's sleeping body, and despite his promise to her that he would use light magic to save her and their child, Gold decided that has no other choice but to do things "his way," using Dark Magic. Moments later, Gold surprises Zelena while she was en route to meet Hades. Since she was responsible for giving Belle the spindle that placed her under the Sleeping Curse, Gold brought Peter Pan along as "a loophole." As he introduces Zelena to his father, Pan tells Zelena that although she was "wicked," he was much worse, and Pan throws a bag over her to kidnap her.

In the Characters' Past

In 2009 Maine, At Chantley's Lobster House, the last location where both baby Emma and Pinocchio arrived in 1983, an adult Emma has begun a quest to find her birth family, and joined by a bondswoman named Cleo Fox, who has been tracking her down since Emma robbed a few convenience stores. Over time, both Cleo and Emma bond, and helps Emma gain access to records that may help her, but come up empty handed. When they arrived in Phoenix, Emma attempts to escape as she is wanted for robberies there only to have Cleo talk her out of it. When they stop at a government record office, Emma breaks in to get information but Cleo helps her escape by breaking a window and jumping out buts a shard of glass cut into her stomach. As Emma helps a dying Cleo, she tells Emma the only family member she has left is her daughter that she gave up a ten years ago. Cleo then dies after telling Emma to run away.

A year later (2010 Boston) and after Cleo has passed, Emma, who is now a bondswoman, finds Cleo's biological daughter Tasha Morris, who now works at a department store. Emma collected information about Cleo so that Tasha could know more about her birth mother, and she is sad but appreciative. Before she leaves, Emma purchases the red leather jacket (later referred to by Hook as her "armor") that would become part of her trademark wardrobe.

In the Underworld

In the moments after Regina encouraged Zelena to pursue a relationship with Hades, the move has the outsiders, especially Hook, unhappy with this new development. But before tensions start to reach a boiling point, Hades appears and informs them that Zelena had been kidnapped by Gold and Peter Pan. A note Hades produces makes clear Gold and Pan are using Zelena as leverage in a trade deal for the contract on Gold's unborn child. Hades asks Emma for help by arranging a deal in which she will help him get Zelena back in exchange for Hades erasing the outsiders' names from their gravestones so they can leave the Underworld. At the diner, Hades closes up the place so he can meet with Gold and Pan. Zelena, who has been cuffed and prevented from using magic, is with them. Hades agrees to Gold's demands and rips up the contract, only for Pan to reveal that he will take Zelena's heart as part of his plan to return to the living. As Pan attempts to rip out Zelena's heart, Emma breaks in through the back door and blasts him with Light Magic, stopping Pan. Gold and Pan leave separately during the confrontation, and without complete satisfaction. As Hades and Zelena are reunited, Hades frees Zelena by removing the cuff, and the two share a kiss. Suddenly Hades' heart begins to beat once again, resulting in a new level of fulfillment in Hades' vision for a "normal" life and leaving the Underworld with Zelena. As part of the arranged deal with Emma along with Hades' new freedom, a portal to Storybrooke can open which will close at sunset. As promised, Hades wipes the outsiders' names off the gravestones. Before the portal opens, Emma attempts to give half her heart to Hook so he can live again and travel through the portal safely, but the process doesn't work. Hades explains that Hook's soul might not be able to return to a decaying body, because he has been in the Underworld too long. Emma's insistence on a way to bring Hook back leads to Hades telling of a rumor of the only time when someone was able to bring the dead back to life from the Underworld: the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. According to what worked in that tale, Hook must acquire Ambrosia, the food of the gods, to restore his body and be reunited safely with his body; but in order to get to the Ambrosia, Emma has to go deep into the Underworld, and face a test to determine whether her love for Hook is true, by testing her heart. Before Emma and Hook go on their quest, Hades removes Emma's heart so that she can bring it with her for the test that she and Hook will face. The others promise her that they will wait for their return, but must leave by sunset in case Emma and Hook do not succeed.

Around the same time, Pan demands that Gold help him get a heart before he leaves, and Pan offers his son Pandora's Box, in exchange for a heart, which will keep Belle safe on the return home. And as the others wait for Emma and Hook, Henry, and Regina decide that they should help continue helping the trapped residents resolve their unfinished business. Regina also convinces Robin to give his baby to Zelena so she and Hades can take care of her, but after he steps aside for a breath of fresh air, Gold shows up and takes his heart. Meanwhile, Henry, in his role as the Author, successfully helps the resident complete their "unfinished business," which will allow them to leave. However, Cruella and the Blind Witch lock the outsiders in the library, in their plot to take over the Underworld in Hades' absence, and to keep them away from the portal. Regina suspects the Blind Witch had help from Hades since she's doesn't usually cast that strong magic. As Emma and Hook continue the search for ambrosia, Emma physically weighs her heart to see if she is worthy as she places it on a scale but the weight is increasing her pain, and even Hook tries to grab it but he starts to catch fire. This has left Emma with two choices, saving her heart or Hook, and when she chooses the latter, a door opens as she is deemed worthy, only to discover that the tree had been cut down, and the leftover Ambrosia had been dead for a long time. The two suspect that Hades lied to them to prevent them from returning to Storybrooke.

As the portal starts to close, Hades convinces a reluctant Zelena to go through it as the rumbling starts to make the ceiling fall above them. Knowing that there is no other way to bring him back to the living, Hook wants Emma to go on without him and decides that it's time to say goodbye and vows not to let her be his unfinished business. Emma agrees not to put her emotional armor back up once they are separated. When Emma returns, she's on to Hades' and the Blind Witch's scheme to leave the outsiders in the Underworld, and she and Regina use their magic to free everyone, while Henry leaves behind the "Once Upon a Time" storybook with the details on the “unfinished business” of all the remaining Underworld residents. Finally, Gold places Robin's heart into Pan, only for Pan to discover that Gold has tricked him: Gold had returned Robin's heart to him earlier, while Pan was distracted. Instead, he had put a wineskin that he had filled with water from the River of Lost Souls and glamoured as Robin's heart into Pan's body. Gold tells a stunned Pan that he did this to keep him from getting the happy ending that a villain like him never deserved, as Pan dissolves into the River of Lost Souls. Then, Gold uses Pandora's Box to contain Belle safely, before leaving through the portal. Afterwards, all people, except for David and Emma, enter the portal. A heartbroken Emma explains to David that she needs to protect her loved ones. David understands and then takes Emma through the portal, just as it closes.

Opening sequence

The Storybrooke Town Hall appears in the forest.

Event chronology

In Storybrooke

In the hours after Hades and Zelena return to Storybrooke, Zelena goes off to find the others and leaves the baby with Hades. While she is gone, King Arthur, who just escaped from jail and is being tracked down by Mary Margaret, Merida and the dwarves, stumbles upon Hades, but he kills Arthur as he sees him as a threat. Zelena finds Regina and Robin Hood and tries to convince them that Hades has changed his ways. Emma, David and Henry are reunited with Snow and Merida and explain the details of Hades' deception but Emma's vengeance against Hades is making her too emotional. Zelena and Hades are talking about the others not believing that he changed. Hades gets a weapon, known as the Olympian Crystal (Zeus's thunderbolt), which can kill anybody, even a god. He also suggests that they leave Storybrooke but Zelena is not so sure if she wants to. As Emma, Merida and David find Arthur's body, David tries to calm down a furious Emma.

Meanwhile, Gold goes to Belle's father Moe to see if he can give Belle true love's kiss to wake up Belle from the sleeping curse she put herself under, but Moe refuses. Emma then shows up asking Gold for help defeating Hades, but Gold declines to help. Gold later calls Hades to offer him a deal by protecting him in exchange for the Crystal, only to have Hades turn down the offer.

Back at Regina's office, Hades is able to put back together the Crystal with Zelena's help. Zelena then sees Emma trying to break the protection spell that Zelena put on the town hall knowing that Emma wants to kill Hades (after she saw the new pages appear in front of her), leading to a confrontation between the women. Back inside the town hall after they entered through a tunnel, Regina and Robin uses Zelena's distraction to take the baby, only to be caught by Hades, who wants to use the crystal to destroy Regina first explaining that the crystal will not allow the person to move on to the Underworld but rather simply destroying their very presence, but Robin sacrifices himself as he saves Regina from being destroyed by Hades. Then Zelena comes in, and picks up the crystal as Hades tempted Zelena to kill Regina, only to have Zelena realize that Hades never changed. She then kills Hades with the crystal. Later, Emma, Henry, Mary Margaret, David, Regina, Zelena and others attend Robin's funeral, as Zelena tells Regina that she has named her daughter Robin in honor of her father. Emma decides to stay for a couple more minutes, and notices a resurrected Hook, who was brought back by Zeus as a reward for helping to defeat Hades, and the two are happily reunited. Meanwhile, Mr. Gold enters Regina's office, and it is revealed that a piece of the Crystal remains, which Mr. Gold collects for a new plan.

In the Underworld

King Arthur comes inside the Underbrooke diner, confused and not knowing that he is dead, until he is reunited with Hook who after a denial and angry conversation tells him he is in the Underworld now, he asks for Arthur's help in stopping Hades. King Arthur agrees to help him after being told he can either be sent to a better place or worse place or be trapped here forever. Later, Hook and King Arthur searched Hades' lair where they look for Hades' story, when Arthur realizes that the only way that Hades keeps his secrets would be inside his throne just like Arthur would do and find the missing pages. Shortly after that, Hook and King Arthur learn from Cruella that the "Once Upon a Time" book is near the River of Lost Souls, and when Hook and King Arthur find it there the lost Souls attempt to take it and Arthur but thanks to Hook he saves both Arthur and the book, where they discover the only way to destroy Hades is by using the Olympian Crystal, and Hook uses the book to magically reach the living successfully (after Emma sees it). Later, King Arthur decides to stay in the Underworld to repair it, telling Hook that he was prophesied to repair a broken kingdom, thinking it was Camelot when it was really the Underworld. Hook steps into the light of Mount Olympus and he meets Zeus, who then shows Hook the way back to the land of the living.

Event chronology

The Storybrooke and Land Without Magic events take place after "Last Rites". The Land of Untold Stories events take place before "An Untold Story".

In Storybrooke

At Granny's, Regina is in mourning during a wake for Robin. Snow and David are ready to console Regina and even Zelena is ready to reach out each other in the wake of her loss to Hades. Violet also pays respects to Robin as she tells Henry she was worried about him while he was in the Underworld. At the Clock tower, Gold is looking for another way to wake up Belle, and begins to look at the Olympian crystal, which he'll use to tether all the magic from Storybrooke. Gold holds the crystal and it glows. Back at the Diner, Emma wants to talk to Regina but suddenly they hear a noise, and witnesses a series of beams shooting outside from the Olympian crystal. All of a sudden Hook shows up as Emma tells Regina about his return. Realizing that Gold is behind it, everyone traces the disturbance to the tower; Emma and Regina figure out that Gold couldn't wake Belle with True Love's kiss since she doesn't love him anymore, so he stole Storybrooke's magic as part of a plan to wake her. Emma tells Regina to let her and the others handle this one, leading to the two bickering until Henry stops them, but after Regina disappears, Emma tells Henry to leave as well, only to meet up with Violet at the pawnshop. Henry is upset over how magic has destroyed his family and sees it as bad, so he comes up with a solution by creating a plan called “Operation Mixtape.” Utilizing his role as the Author, Henry uses the quill to writes himself as the possessor of the crystal, and suddenly, it appears in his hand. He sends both mothers a text, detailing his plans.

When Gold tells the others that Henry has taken the crystal, he tells them that Henry could destroy all magic and with it, Storybrooke. Emma notes she placed a GPS app on Henry’s phone to find him, but Henry had the phone left behind on the bus on purpose. At the same time, Zelena uses the Apprentice's wand and creates a portal door to return Merida and the Camelot residents back home, and also sends the Merry Men back to the Sherwood Forest for Roland to grow up there, in case magic does get destroyed. Unfortunately, the portal becomes too strong that it dragged Zelena, Snow, David, and Hook into it because of the magic tied to the crystal. The portal closes and vanishes in thin air.

In Boston

Regina and Emma are looking for Henry and Violet in Boston, but they have lost the tracker because Henry left his phone on the bus, as he knew Emma placed the GPS tracker app on it. After she shows the lady the picture of Henry on her phone, Regina grabs Henry's phone and throws it in the trash. Suddenly, Regina's anger lights the trash on fire, and Emma makes it go away. They discover that magic now works outside of Storybrooke, as Henry has taken the crystal and the magic. Regina then uses a needle on Emma's bloody finger on the map where to find Henry and Violet, leading them to New York City.

In New York City

In New York City, it's discovered that Henry and Violet have already arrived, as Emma’s blood traced them to Henry, but it also leads Gold to his whereabouts. Henry tells Violet that his father Neal was trying to destroy magic before he died, so they make plans to find his journal. Moments later, Regina and Emma shows up at Neal's apartment, and Regina encounters an old letter from Robin addressed to her, reminding her that she will always be the brave heroine with whom he fell in love with. Regina admits to Emma that she will never be at peace with herself as she wondered should she become the Evil Queen again because she feels cursed and will never find redemption, realizing that the more good that she does, the more people she loses. Both are unaware that Gold was listening to their conversation.

At the library, Henry and Violet look for more answers and Henry finds multiple "Once Upon a Time" storybooks containing different stories. Violet then sees a black duplicate of the Holy Grail, which was said to hold all magic. Henry breaks the glass, steals the item and stashes it in his bag, after seeing that it is capable of sapping magic from the Olympian Crystal. Gold then catches up with them, puts them both to sleep and leaves with the crystal. Emma and Regina later find Henry and Violet, but Henry leaves out the part about finding the Holy Grail. Regina uses a needle on Henry's finger to find out whether Gold is still in the city, but the magic doesn't work, as Gold had already stripped them of their magic. Gold checks in at a hotel and prepares to wake Belle, but later loses the Underworld Pandora's Box that contains Belle through a portal that opened in his hotel room.

In the Land of Untold Stories

Zelena, Snow, David, and Hook soon find themselves in a new realm, but Zelena has no way to return as her wand broke upon arrival. The four come across a frightened groundsman who warns them they shouldn’t be there, only to have another man appear and use magic to knock the unwanted visitors out. Hours later, they wake up in a cage of enchanted bars and are greeted by the warden, who believes that the Dark One must have sent them; they are enemies. They convince the warden that Gold is their enemy as well, and their arrival was an accident on his part in trying to wake Belle; however, the warden keeps them prisoner anyhow. The groundsman then visits the four, and agrees to help them if they will take him to Storybrooke.

After Zelena gives the groundsman her broken wand to repair, the orderly, Poole, finds him and takes Zelena's wand, then pours a blue potion down his throat which turns him into the warden himself. It turns out that the groundsman is actually Dr. Jekyll, and the warden is Mr. Hyde. He creates a portal using the wand, and pulls Pandora's Box from New York City, thus throwing a wrench into Gold's plans to free Belle from the sleeping curse. Hyde plans to blackmail Gold to cooperate with him if he ever wants to see Belle again.

Dr. Jekyll awakens in a straitjacket, finding Poole unconscious from too much whisky; freeing himself, he takes Poole's keys as Hyde has hidden the wand. Freeing Zelena, Hook, Snow, and David, he explains that "The Warden" stole Zelena's wand. They find themselves in the “land of untold stories,” filled with escapees from various worlds seeking refuge; as they are in this realm, their stories have halted as time does not pass here.

Dr. Jekyll has just finished with a blue serum with flower sap that turned into a red serum which will separate the evil from the good in a person. However, Poole enters and forces him to transform into Mr. Hyde once again by using the blue serum; the heroes flee per Jekyll's request. After they escape, Mr. Hyde injects himself with the red serum, splitting himself and Dr. Jekyll apart, but as Hyde tries to kill Jekyll, Hook and the others rescue Jekyll. Zelena uses fireball at Poole and Snow uses Poole's magical gizmo to zap Hyde unconscious. Jekyll takes his serum and tools with him just before Hyde wakes up.

As the group keeps trying to escape out of the realm, they end up ultimately running into dead ends at every turn. Suddenly, thanks to Henry's inspiring the New Yorkers to toss coins into the Bethesda fountain, a portal opens, and Hook, Snow, David, Zelena, and Jekyll escape and find themselves in New York City, right in front of the fountain, where they reunite with Emma, Regina, Henry, and Violet.

Later on, Hyde begins throwing tantrums in his laboratory, where he is surprised to see Gold, who slipped through the portal to find Belle. Gold wants to threaten Hyde with death, but lets him live upon learning that Hyde knows how to wake Belle without true love's kiss. This results in a deal made between Gold and Hyde.

In New York City

In a hotel, Gold swipes a sterling silver tray from a concierge and gives him $100 to be left alone. When Emma learns via text that Zelena, Hook, and the others have disappeared, Regina goes right to Gold's hotel room and tells him that she may be turning to darkness again. Emma tries to snag the Olympian Crystal as Gold is distracted, but he is on to their scheme and is about to chase them out, when Henry enters with the Holy Grail and drains the crystal of magic. An angry Gold scolds Henry for accidentally preventing their family from coming home. Gold then concede that Storybrooke was never in danger, just the magic he brought to it; he lied to motivate Emma and Regina into finding Henry.

While Henry sulks at the Bethesda fountain with Violet, Gold takes Regina to find someone who he claims still has magic. Emma reminds Henry of their time in New York, telling him that he can still wish away his problems and toss a coin into the fountain; she reflects on the irony of her own words as she had wished to fill the void she felt in their family, which lead to Hook showing up with the memory potion. Elsewhere, Gold leads Regina into a shop, where they meet The Dragon, who survived Tamara's attack on him. Though he refuses to help Gold, the Dragon agrees to help Regina. Emma, Henry, Violet, Gold and Regina watch the Dragon create a small view of where their family is; however, he fails to open a portal as his magic is not enough. He tells them that despite being called the Land Without Magic, it does exist in the real world; however, it has become harder to tap into because of neglect.

Realizing what the Dragon means, Henry leads everyone back to the fountain, where he proceeds to wish for his family to be brought back, encouraging Emma, Regina, Gold, and Violet to do the same, causing the crystal to pulsate. Henry then convinces the citizens there to help them return magic to the world. The portal opens in the fountain, and Gold walks through it. Hook, Snow, David, Jekyll and Zelena then return via the portal, reuniting with the rest of the group. Henry is left saddened that the crowd believed that the rescue was an illusion. Emma consoles him, explaining that it's the only way they can understand it.

Afterwards, Regina decides to have some time to think, and, as Snow tries to console her, Regina believes there's nothing she can do to get rid of the Evil Queen inside of her. Jekyll reveals that he had another dose of the separation serum, allowing Regina the chance to push the Evil Queen out. Snow injects the serum into Regina's arm, and Emma and Snow stand by, ready to help. Regina and the Evil Queen split into two entities, and Regina rips the evil queen's heart out and crushes it, seemingly destroying her darkness.

Back at the Dragon's shop, the Dragon hears his windchimes ring as a dark lime smoke enters. The smoke takes the form of the Evil Queen, who takes the Dragon's heart, declaring war on her other self.

In Storybrooke

Upon arrival in Storybrooke, Dr. Jekyll finds the town more beautiful than they described it to him; David and Mary Margaret take him to Granny's for a meal. Emma tells Hook she loves him, with both ready to take their relationship further. Henry prepares to say goodbye to Violet, believing she and her father, Sir Morgan, will return to Camelot. However, Violet reveals that while she was born in Camelot, her father is from Connecticut, but fell into a portal to Camelot at one point; thus they will stay in town for a while. Happy to hear this, Henry shares a kiss with Violet.

Henry later catches up with Regina, asking how she feels no longer shackled to the Evil Queen; Regina responds that she feels freer than she ever did. Regina releases Storybrooke's magic from the Olympian Crystal, with the crystal vanishing after being emptied. To their surprise, Mr. Hyde shows up; Regina immediately realizes that Gold brought Hyde to Storybrooke as part of a deal. Hyde explains that Gold gave his ownership of the town to him in exchange for the information to wake Belle from her sleeping curse; he also brought some of his "friends" as Storybrooke is the ideal place for the populace of the Land of Untold Stories to have their lives unfold. Regina taunts him, telling Hyde that he's the loser of his own story. However, Hyde returns the taunt mysteriously, warning that darkness is not as easy to snuff out as she believes.

Sometime in the future 4% of the earth's population have developed special abilities, but are treated like pariahs and forced by circumstance to live in poverty.

After a dispute over him and his friend Freddie (Aaron Abrams) being shorted in their pay after completing work, Connor finds himself in a confrontation with police officer Alex Park (Sung Kang) and the many autonomous robot drones backing up the officer.

The play opens with Elias trying to get his family to sit in a row so he can give a sermon. Both Mother and Lucinda, Elias' wife are not amused with the situation and try to give feedback as to what is being said. Elias' father is sympathetic and tries to calm the women. Elias then goes on to tell his tale about the pots. Elias tells a story of a man who lived in a house full of pots. Rooms and rooms of pots. One day the man was talking to the pots, telling them that they all have a handle and bottoms and that if they do as Elias says they can turn into any type of pot that they want, "Tin pots, iron pots, brass pots, silver pots. Even gold." The pots then respond asking what they have to do. The man tells them to sit right where they are and to not spill any of the liquid that he put inside of them. One of the pots tells the man that it has a crack in it so the man fixes the crack with some dirt and spit. One of the pots gets scared, rolls over and spills its contents. Slowly the pots started to hear noises and more and more tipped over and spilled. The next morning the man comes into the room. The most cheery of the pots turned to gold, the pots that acknowledged the man but hung their heads turned to silver, and the pots that tried to stand back up after toppling over turned to brass. The rest that were still on their sides turned to tin. Elias then goes on to end his sermon by saying that the pots are people. Those who keep the ways of the lord will be gold, while those who dismiss him will be as worthless as a tin can.

After finishing the rest of his sermon Father congratulates Elias on a job well done, while Mother and Lucinda are skeptical about the subject matter of the story. Lucinda, sick of being in the house decides she will put on her red-beaded necklace and go out. Mother tries to go with her. Elias tries to stop Lucinda from leaving but Lucinda lashes out, telling Elias if he were a real man he would keep a job and that god would never pick a fool to be a preacher.

Suddenly outside the dark window a noise can be heard coming from the bushes outside. There is a splash and it is believed that someone fell into the well outside the house. Lucinda tries to go outside to check but Elias holds her back saying there is no point. Then Elias accuses Lucinda of trying to go see Lew, her lover. He encourages her to go.

The series focuses on the eponymous fictional webtoon entitled ''W'', written and illustrated by its legendary author and illustrator Oh Seong-moo (Kim Eui-sung) which begins to take a life of its own, like a distinct reality.

Ten years later, Kang Chul has become a multimillionaire. He starts "Project W" in an effort to catch the real culprit behind his family's death; part of the project is his television broadcasting company dubbed "W," after the initials of the interrogatives "who" and "why" (hence, the title of the webtoon).

Then even stranger things happen when the illustrator's daughter Oh Yeon-joo (Han Hyo-joo) accidentally enters the comic world.

After Chuck falls asleep, Jimmy accesses the Mesa Verde files, then visits an all-night copy store to falsify information in the application documents for a soon-to-open branch. Mike continues to watch Hector's restaurant and tracks his movements to a remote garage. After returning home, he uses a garden hose, nails and power drill to begin assembling a homemade spike strip.

Kevin leaves HHM and retains Kim, who promises Mesa Verde will be her sole client. Chuck accuses Jimmy of sabotage when Jimmy and Kim pick up the Mesa Verde files from Chuck's house. Kim claims Chuck simply made a mistake. Alone in the car with Jimmy, Kim reveals her awareness of his trick by angrily punching him.

Later that night, Kim tells Jimmy she never wants to discuss how the incorrect documents came to be filed, but suggests that if Jimmy left any evidence, Chuck will find it. Jimmy realizes he can be caught if the clerk at the store where he altered the documents says he was there, so he goes to the store to buy the clerk's silence. He arrives while Ernesto is questioning the clerk; Chuck had him checking at each all night copy store in the city to see if anyone recognized Jimmy. When the clerk confirms Jimmy was there, Ernesto leaves to get Chuck. Jimmy bribes the clerk, then hides across the street. Ernesto and Chuck arrive and Chuck questions the clerk, but his electromagnetic hypersensitivity symptoms overcome him. He faints and hits his head on the counter as he falls. Jimmy is torn between his desire to aid Chuck and his reluctance to come out of hiding, because doing so would be an admission that he had been at the store previously.

Opening

Jimmy leaves to buy sandwiches and while he is gone, his mother wakes and calls his name twice before dying. After Jimmy returns, Chuck tells Jimmy their mother has died and falsely claims she had no last words.

Main story

Chuck is unconscious after hitting his head at the copy store. Jimmy rushes in to give first aid and tells the clerk to call an ambulance. In the hospital, Chuck wonders how Jimmy came to his aid so quickly, correctly deducing that Jimmy bribed the clerk to lie and then hid nearby to watch Chuck question the clerk. Ernesto covers for Jimmy by claiming that out of concern for Chuck's health, he called Jimmy before bringing Chuck to the copy store.

Jimmy refuses to have Chuck committed for psychiatric care but takes temporary guardianship and allows an MRI and a CAT scan to determine whether he suffered head or neck injuries. The doctor treating Chuck tells Jimmy that Chuck is healthy but has entered a self-induced catatonic state because of the medical tests. When Chuck returns to consciousness, Jimmy informs him of the test results and takes him home.

Mike purchases a rifle which he intends to use to kill Hector. He positions himself on a ridge overlooking a desert site where Hector and his crew are preparing to execute Ximenez Lecerda, but Mike is unable to get a clear shot because Nacho is in the way. Behind him, Mike hears his car horn blaring, so he leaves to investigate. He finds a branch wedged against the horn and a note on the windshield with a single word: "Don't."

Howard tries to reach Jimmy and when Jimmy calls back Howard says Chuck is concerned that the mistakes he supposedly made on Mesa Verde's paperwork mean his judgment is no longer sound, so he intends to retire. Jimmy rushes to Chuck's house, where he finds that Chuck has plastered the walls with reflective space blankets, claiming he needs protection from ambient electromagnetic waves. Desperate for Chuck to stop behaving erratically, Jimmy confesses to tampering with the Mesa Verde documents and bribing the copy store clerk to keep quiet. When Jimmy leaves, Chuck unveils a tape recorder he had activated prior to Jimmy's arrival.

It has been six months since the start of senior year, and yet the Class 3-E of Kunugigaoka High School has not been able to assassinate their tentacled teacher, Koro-sensei, who will blow up the Earth on graduation day. Due to the school festival to be held, assistant teacher Tadaomi Karasuma instructs the class to give all they got, since Koro-sensei will be distracted, making him an easy target of killing. Karasuma also insists that the class should assassinate Koro-sensei before the government-sponsored assassin Red Eye do the same. However, neither the students nor Red Eye are ultimately able to do the task, and Koro-sensei even convinces Red Eye to give up his job for the sake of his students.

At the end of the school festival, Kaede Kayano catches Koro-sensei off guard and begins her assault by revealing her tentacles. She reveals her true identity to be a child actress named Akari Yukimura and the younger sister of Aguri, the class' former teacher and the one whom Koro-sensei promised to teach the class for. She wants to take revenge against Koro-sensei for having supposedly killed her sister. Knowing that the experimental tentacles she is wearing are taxing her life force, Nagisa Shiota manages to calm her down. He distracts her with a kiss and disables the tentacles.

Koro-sensei then tells the class about his past: as a human, he was an assassin known as "the Reaper". Due to his strength and intelligence, two years ago, a rogue organization led by Dr. Kōtarō Yanagisawa took him as a second guinea pig (a mouse being used as the first) for the testing of a chemical capable of stimulating growth in plants. The Reaper was supervised by Yanagisawa's fiancée, Aguri, with whom he developed a close relationship, especially after she revealed her circumstances as a teacher. When Yanagisawa found out that the mouse tested on the Moon had destroyed it, he ordered the disposal of the Reaper before he could do the same to the Earth. Aguri prevented the execution but was mortally injured and died in the Reaper's arms; this action pulled the Reaper from succumbing to the madness his experimentation caused, leading him to make a vow to teach Class 3-E.

Nagisa decides to find an alternative besides killing Koro-sensei after hearing the story. Having to deal with several opponents, Karma Akabane included, on the plan, he compromises it by saying that should the plan fail, he will kill Koro-sensei himself. The class begin to work on an antidote mapped by a file Nagisa, Karma and Itona steal from Yanagisawa's labs. However, the government has planned to use a laser ignited by a satellite as a last resort to kill Koro-sensei. The government agents kidnap the class, but they manage to escape with the help of Karasuma and Irina Jelavić.

However, to their dismay, the class find out that they have been tricked by Yanagisawa, as the stolen file was faked. Yanagisawa proceeds to inject artificial tentacles, transforming himself into a monstrous being. Seeing him easily defeating Koro-sensei, Akari attempts to defend him, only to get injured in the process. Angered at having to see a repeat of the tragedy two years before, Koro-sensei creates a bomb that obliterates Yanagisawa. He does a surgery that heals Akari, having developed it since his failure in saving Aguri, then tells the class that they should kill him soon. In tears, Nagisa volunteers for the task.

Several years later, Nagisa has become a teacher in a school for delinquents. A delinquent tries to intimidate him, which Nagisa responds by silently threatening him.

Adam, a traditional religious medical practitioner, and his wife are the victims of an accident that caused his wife's death. Adam struggles to cope with the loss of his wife, which has shaken his strong faith in religion, and has also stopped helping cure others as he feels incompetent in his job. He eventually meets Maria, who suffers from depression. She later gets possessed by an evil spirit, and Adam has no choice but to help cure her. However, he stumbles upon more revelations linking Maria to the accident that killed his wife. Adam then tries to cure Maria in her house with the help of his friend. Maria's spirit is too strong, and his friend has to stop reciting his prayers to cure her. Maria's spirit laughs and pushes him against the wall. Adam, shocked by what is going on, continues reciting his prayers and then exorcises the spirit out of Maria's body.

Adam still cannot accept the fact that his wife is dead and furiously wants to know who is the killer. Later, Adam's imam, Ali, is found dead. His friend gets the news first and contacts Adam, who is ultimately shocked. His son also calls him to say that his grandfather has gone out of the house. He also mentions that his mother took care of him after his father went out. Adam, furious that the topic of his wife has somehow been brought up again since her death, yells at his son on the phone and slams it down. Later, Adam dreams of digging out his wife's grave to prove his son that his mother is dead.

Adam insists to Azman that all the happenings in the village are connected to Maria's demonic disturbances, with Imam Ali's death and Pak Osman's disappearance being the latest events. He goes home to be confronted by Fazli, who shows hatred towards him. Thereafter Adam receives a call from Zati revealing that Pak Osman has been found. At Maria's place, Zati and Maria claim that they have uncovered who is behind all the disturbances. However, upon going into Pak Osman's room, Adam finds he is still missing and questions Zati and Maria, only to realise that they were apparitions and that he has been tricked into coming by the demonic entity.

At the hospital, Maria gets constantly chased by evil spirits. She tries to run away into the mortuary to find some comfort only for the spirit to continue following her. Adam finds the talisman which Imam Ali was holding before his death, doubting Zati and believing the talisman may be the cause of the recent incidents. He receives a call from Maria saying that she has been holding a dark secret with her and is now willing to share. Maria also says that she cannot stand the torment she is going through any longer.

Adam rushes to Maria, despite his father's call for him to come back as he wishes to talk over the misunderstanding between him and Shah, confusing Adam even more. At the place where Maria is, Adam found her only to be attacked by demonic forces. Maria is seemingly thrown off a storey, fatally wounding her. Adam rushes to her side only to have the hard truth revealed to him: Maria has been the cause of the accident leading to his wife's death, and she was controlled all along by the same demonic force haunting the village, who is Pak Osman. Pak Osman reveals that he has sold himself to the Devil for the riches of the world. Angry at the fact that Adam's faith in God has allowed many others to follow suit, including Maria herself, he sought to use Maria as a puppet to kill Adam in the car accident. A bolt of lightning strikes Pak Osman as he mercilessly attacks Adam.

Adam's dad arrives on the scene to unravel the misunderstandings. He reveals that the reason Shah has been displaying uncanny behaviours to him is that he seemed to think his son, Amir, had been alive all along, when in reality he also died in the same accident that killed Adam's wife. Knowing this final truth, Adam runs away in sadness, asking help from God to grant him the strength to live and ease him of the hardships he has gone through.

The play opens in the kitchen of Mrs. (Pauline) Water's kitchen, as she sits in a large rocking chair with her foot on a low stool, bandaged. Her daughter, Rebecca Waters, comes out to show her mother her wedding dress that she is working on. She is engaged to be married to Thomas Grey, a doctor who happens to be the one tending to Pauline's injured foot. Rebecca's father is revealed to have died some time ago.

They are waiting for Pauline's son Jack who is just over an hour late to be home from work. They talk about how he is known as “the smartest and finest looking black boy in the whole town.” They discuss how he is the only one in the family with blue eyes, while everyone else has black eyes. Rebecca claims she wishes she had his eyes too, and Pauline discourages her from ignoring her own beauty. They make fun of how dedicated and hard working Jack is, saying instead of chasing girls he is more interested in his books.

Dr. Thomas Grey enters and greets Pauline before changing her bandages. He reveals that she stepped on a rusty nail, and should refrain from walking on it for another week. He mentions there was some “rough looking hoodlums gathering on the streets” as he came in. Rebecca assures him, “they’re always having squabble on these streets” and that he will get used to it.

Pauline keeps complaining about her foot pain, when Hester Grant runs in panting. She addresses Pauline to tell her that Jack has been arrested for brushing up against a white woman on the street, followed by the woman claiming he was trying to attack her. White men came up and started beating him, and then policemen dragged him to the jail. Hester warns Pauline they want to lynch him. Dr. Grey offers to run over to the judge to speak with him but Hester points out that he's “a lyncher his own self” and not to trust him.

Pauline quickly thinks of an idea and is not going to let her son be lynched. She yells to Rebecca to get a little tin box out of her trunk and bring it to her. Once she does, Pauline pulls out a small ring and gives it to Dr. Grey. She tells him to jump on his horse and buggy and get over to Governor Tinkham's house, give him the ring, and say exactly that it is sent from Pauline, and that they are about to lynch her son born 21 years ago. He leaves while there is a lot of commotion outside.

Hester and Rebecca tremble in their voices hoping he gets to the governor to save Jack in time. Pauline says to trust in God and trust in the governor, and she breaks out in prayer. During the prayer she slips that the governor is Jack's father, but Rebecca and Hester don't seem to hear. They begin getting more nervous and Pauline sobs. Then they hear “many feet” outside and see that the state troops are coming, and Dr. Grey is back. He delivers the news that he is saved and that the Governor sent the troops.

"Stripe" Koinange (Malachi Kirby) and "Hunter" Raiman (Madeline Brewer) are squadmates in a military that hunts roaches—pale, snarling, humanoid monsters with sharp teeth. Each soldier has a neural implant called MASS that provides data via augmented reality. Stripe and Hunter's squad searches a farmhouse while squad leader Medina (Sarah Snook) interrogates the owner, a devout Christian (Francis Magee). Stripe discovers a nest of roaches, one of whom points an LED device at Stripe; unfazed, he shoots one roach dead and stabs another to death. Medina arrests the owner and the squad burns down the farmhouse.

Stripe is rewarded with an erotic dream following his kills, but his MASS glitches during it. After further malfunctions the following day, Stripe has his MASS tested and consults a psychologist, Arquette (Michael Kelly), but neither visit reveals any problems.

The next day, Medina, Stripe and Hunter arrive at an abandoned housing complex. After a roach-sniper suddenly kills Medina, the other two soldiers enter the building as the sniper shoots at them. Stripe encounters a woman and urges her to flee, but Hunter shoots her dead. Stripe finds another woman (Ariane Labed) with her child, and Hunter prepares to shoot them. Stripe intervenes and wrestles Hunter, knocking her unconscious as she shoots him in the stomach. Stripe gets up and escapes with the mother and son.

They reach a cave in the woods where the woman, named Catarina, explains that the MASS implant alters soldiers' senses to show people of her ethnic group as inhuman "roaches". They are victims of a genocide justified by the military as genetic cleansing. While laypeople see the group as they are, they treat them as inferior due to propaganda. Hunter arrives and kills Catarina and her son Alec, then knocks Stripe unconscious.

Stripe awakens in a cell, where Arquette apologises for his MASS glitch, caused by the LED device. Arquette reveals that MASS alters soldiers' senses so they can kill without hesitation or remorse, and that Stripe consented to this when he enlisted before having his memory wiped. Stripe has the choice to allow his MASS and memory to be reset, or to be imprisoned. Arquette forces Stripe to rewatch the sensory feed of his farmhouse raid, where he now sees himself gruesomely killing people.

In the final scene, Stripe, now a decorated officer, approaches the house from his erotic dreams. He has tears streaming down his face as he smiles. The house is then shown to be a dilapidated empty home.

Once they arrive, they first visit Brickton Studios, an old horror film studio that is about to be closed down. The studio's employee Junior, an avid fan of horror films, welcomes them and offers to give them a tour. Joining them on the tour is Atticus Fink, a developer who wants to buy and level the studio. During the tour, they drive their truck through a dark storage facility, causing Fink to leave. After Fink leaves, a Headless Horseman appears and chases the gang.

After they escape, they go to ask the manager, Chet Brickton, about their encounter. Brickton tells them that all the monsters used to be played by an actor named Boris Karnak, who died years ago and that his ghost may have come back to haunt the studios through various costumes of the monsters he played. In addition to the Headless Horseman, there have also been sightings of a mummy and a zombie, which is why he must sell the studio to Fink to avoid bankruptcy. The gang offers to help Brickton solve the mystery.

The Headless Horseman is revealed to be Fink, who used the costume to get a cheap ownership of the studio. Daphne tells Fink that the evidence of fraud violates the terms of his contract, making it null and void. The zombie is revealed to be Junior, who was also the mummy. Junior tells them that he is actually Boris Karnak Jr., and wanted to carry on his father's legacy.

Sofia, Mateo and Pedro are close friends that decide on a getaway to the exotic and beautiful islands of the Mexican Caribbean. They are unaware that the holiday may be their last.

During a visit to Tenebrae, Regis and Noctis—who is recuperating from a near-death experience—are targeted for assassination by Niflheim. Tenebrae is subsequently attacked, and in the invasion Queen Sylva is killed by Niflheim's General Glauca. Regis attempts to flee with Lunafreya, but she decides to stay with her brother Ravus; both become subjects under Niflheim's rule.

Twelve years later, the Kingsglaive fight to protect Lucis's borders from attacks by Niflheim's Magitek army and Daemons, unnatural monsters tamed for military use. During one such operation, Nyx Ulric defies his orders to withdraw to rescue his friend Libertus from a Daemon. Regis, whose magic powers the Wall and is growing weaker due to advancing age, accepts Imperial Chancellor Ardyn Izunia's offer of peace. This causes dissension among the Kingsglaive, who feel Regis is abandoning their families. Two days before the treaty is to be signed, Kingsglaive member Crowe is sent on a mission to escort Lunafreya to Altissia to meet Noctis, but is killed en route. Her death causes Libertus to leave the Kingsglaive and join a group of Lucian rebels. At a party dedicated to the signing of the treaty, attended by both Regis and Niflheim's emperor Iedolas Aldercapt, Lunafreya meets with Nyx before being secretly abducted by Glauca. Nyx discovers this and finds that Niflheim has stationed their army outside Insomnia.

Regis agrees to deploy the Kingsglaive, although their commander Drautos has disappeared. While Nyx succeeds in rescuing Lunafreya, many of the Kingsglaive turn on him; Nyx, Lunafreya and rebel leader Luche Lazarus escape as the ship disintegrates. At the treaty-signing ceremony, the Niflheim delegation springs a surprise attack and kills the ruling council, while their army enters by destroying the Wall with help from the rebels, who are subsequently massacred. Lunafreya and Nyx reach the Citadel just as Regis is battling Glauca. During the fight, Glauca cuts the Ring of the Lucii from Regis's hand. Ravus attempts to put on the Ring and claim its power, but it rejects him and destroys his arm before he can remove it. Nyx, Lunafreya and Regis retrieve the Ring and flee with Glauca in pursuit. Regis forces the two to go on without him, dying in his ensuing battle with Glauca. Aldercapt and Ardyn—having successfully stolen the Crystal—leave Insomnia to be destroyed by Niflheim's Daemons.

Summoned to the city plaza by a call from Drautos, Nyx and Lunafreya are cornered by Luche, who reveals himself to be Crowe's killer. Luche almost kills Nyx before being tricked by Lunafreya into putting on the Ring, resulting in his death. Drautos then appears, but is attacked by Libertus, who reveals that Drautos is in fact Glauca. Just as Glauca is about to kill them, Nyx puts on the Ring. He is confronted by the spirits of the past kings of Lucis; initially rejected due to being not of their bloodline, his resolve and the threat to the Crystal persuade them to allow his use of their power at the cost of his life. After fending off Glauca, Nyx returns the Ring to Lunafreya before entrusting her to Libertus, telling them to flee. With the Ring's borrowed power he engages Glauca in a titanic battle throughout Insomnia, animating the city's statues of past rulers, known as the "Old Wall," to combat Niflheim's Daemons. Their fight ends as dawn approaches, with Nyx mortally wounding Glauca; Nyx dies shortly after as payment for using the Ring's power, wishing for Noctis to rule well in the future. In the aftermath, Libertus escorts Lunafreya out of the city, but she tells him to stay behind. Lunafreya then leaves with the Ring to find Noctis.

In a post-credits scene, Noctis and his companions are en route to Altissia when their car breaks down, leading into the opening scenes of ''Final Fantasy XV''.

Pauline is a home nurse who lives with her children, Tom and Lili, and her father Jacques, a retired worker and former member of the French Communist Party, in a small village in Pas-de-Calais, in northern France. Pauline belongs to a working-class family and has to worry about supporting the whole family on her only salary.

Pauline is much loved by her patients, thanks to her open and caring character. Doctor Philippe Berthier, a right-wing physician who had assisted Pauline's mother before she died, approaches the girl to the ideas of a nationalist party led by Agnès Dorgelle, who proposes Pauline as candidate for mayor of her village.

Pauline is reunited with Stéphane Stankowiak, an old friend from school, who trains the woman's son's soccer team. Pauline is unaware that Stéphane plays in a group of skinheads thugs, from which he gradually tries to move away so as not to damage the girl's election campaign. Berthier invites Stéphane to move away permanently from Pauline, threatening to disclose his subversive militancy and his past as a hitter in the service of Dorgelle's party.

When Pauline reveals to Jacques that she is running for mayor with a far-right party, he chases her away, saying he doesn't want to be the father of a fascist in any way. Pauline's patients are divided: the most conservative promise all their support, while the most progressive push her away. The same situation occurs among the nurse's friends: the racist Nathalie joins her staff, also promoting a fake news website against refugees who have settled in France in order to increase consensus, while Nada, French by birth but daughter of Slavic parents, accuses her of being only the pawn of a pack of extremists.

Fearing for Pauline's safety, Stéphane asks some of his comrades to follow her secretly to avoid being attacked. However, the situation deteriorates and the skinheads seriously injure a Pauline protester with a firearm. When the girl tries to help the wounded, she is badly driven out by all the inhabitants of a popular apartment building. Desperate for being dismissed from father, friends and patients, and suspicious of Stéphane's gradual physical estrangement, Pauline visits Berthier, asking if he has anything to do with all this. Berthier reveals Stéphane's violent past to Pauline, asking the girl to choose between politics or love: Pauline chooses to be with Stéphane and to abandon the party, withdrawing from the mayor race and being promptly replaced by Nathalie.

Reunited with Jacques, Pauline goes out with her children, her father and Stéphane to the stadium, having fun for the duration of the game. When Stéphane lends his cellphone to Lili for a few seconds to see the selfies taken during the match, the girl mistakenly shows the mother some photos taken by Stéphane and his comrades in which they threaten and mistreat a couple of refugees. Horrified by the pictures, Pauline flings herself on Stéphane, angrily beating him, until Jacques and the children manage to stop her fury and bring her home.

In 1942 during World War II, Wing Commander Max Vatan, a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot with intelligence duties, travels to Casablanca in Morocco to assassinate a German ambassador. He is partnered with a French Resistance fighter, Marianne Beauséjour, who escaped from France after her resistance group was compromised and killed.

They pose as a married couple and grow close, despite agreeing that in their line of work feelings can get people killed. Marianne, who is trusted by the Germans, secures Max an invitation to the party where they plan to conduct the assassination. On the day itself, they have sex inside a car in the middle of a desert sandstorm, knowing they might not survive. However, the mission is successful and they escape. Max asks Marianne to come with him to London and be his wife. They marry, settle down in Hampstead, and have a baby girl, Anna, who is born during a bombing raid.

A year later in 1944, Max learns from the Special Operations Executive that Marianne is suspected of being a German spy, having adopted her identity after the real Marianne was killed in France, and that the German ambassador they assassinated was a dissident Hitler wanted dead. To test their suspicions, SOE run a "blue dye" operation: Max is ordered to write down a piece of false intelligence at home, where Marianne can find it. If the information is picked up from intercepted German transmissions, Max must personally execute her, and if he is found to be an accomplice he will be hanged for high treason. He is told to otherwise act normally and not conduct his own investigation.

Defiant, Max visits Guy Sangster, a former colleague who knew Marianne; however, Sangster, blinded in the war, cannot confirm her identity. He reveals that resistance fighter Paul Delamare, who worked with Marianne in France, is still alive in Dieppe and could identify her. Max finds a young pilot, Adam Hunter, gives him a photograph with a "classified" note—asking if the woman in the photo is Marianne Beauséjour—and instructs him to obtain a "yes" or "no" answer from Delamare.

Max and Marianne host a house party. His commanding officer, Frank Heslop, comes and tells him that Hunter was killed while waiting on the ground for the answer from Delamare and berates him for his insubordination. Max wonders if what he was told about Marianne is a test of his loyalty as part of a promotion to V-Section.

The next evening, Max takes the place of a Lysander pilot and flies to France to meet Delamare, who is being held at the local police station. Max and the local resistance break into the town's jail, but Delamare is drunk and unconvincingly verifies the picture. The delay gives the French police officer room to alert the Germans, whom Max and the resistance manage to defeat. Prior to leaving, Delamare tells Max that Marianne was a talented pianist who had once played ''La Marseillaise'' in defiance of the occupying Germans in the early stages of the war.

Back in England, Max takes Marianne to a local pub and demands she play the piano. She cannot. She admits she is a spy and forwarded the "blue dye" message, which Max left in plain view. She claims her feelings for Max are genuine, and that she was forced back into being a spy because German agents were threatening Anna.

Max, unwilling to kill her, tells her they must flee the country. He kills Marianne's handlers, a nanny and a jeweller. They drive to a local airbase, but Max cannot get the plane to start before Heslop and the military police arrive. He tries to plead his case before the officers, but Marianne tells him that she loves him, asks him to take care of Anna, then shoots herself. Heslop orders the soldiers present to report that Max executed Marianne as per his orders, so that Max will not be punished. After the war, Max moves to a ranch in Alberta to raise Anna.

Gabriel Allon is expected to become the chief of Israel’s secret intelligence service. However, on the eve of his promotion, ISIS has detonated a massive bomb in the Marais district of Paris. He had to enter the field for one final operation.

Following a riding accident, country gentleman Brian Harding (Patrick Barr) is crippled and facing imminent death. His final days are spent arranging the future security of his wife and daughter (Avis Scott & Eunice Gayson). This extends to encouraging his wife to developing one of her male friendships into a romantic relationship.

The story begins with two brothers William (Elder) and Henry, as they leave their native town and travel to London, following the death of their father, a country shopkeeper. Both brothers are under twenty years old, and hope to acquire a living in London. It would appear they are not financially secure as 'through death, their father escaped his creditors'. As they travel Henry weeps, while William does his best to suppress tears. They arrive in London and soon find every attempt to secure employment is met with obstacles. However, there is one thing Henry can do, which is to play the fiddle. Once this becomes known, Henry is invited into company that enables his advancement. He is overjoyed, but also unable to fully enjoy his situation while his brother has not secure a living. Henry offers to teach William to play the violin, but his offer is vehemently refused by his brother. They both agree that he William is much more adept to learning academia than music, so Henry suggests William should go to one of the universities to study.

William manages to attend university with the help and support of Henry, who has sustained a good living through his violin playing. Henry continues to mix with those in wealthy upper-class circles, and through enjoyment of his playing by one man, he manages to secure a living of five hundred pounds for his brother on the man's death. William succeeds in his studies, obtaining the orders of dean and priest. By now the wealthy man has died and William wastes no time returning to take possession of this good fortune. On seeing his brother dressed up in his orders attire, Henry cries tears of pride and joy. However, being the elder, a man of literature, William feels contempt at being obliged to a younger illiterate sibling, and is unable to show gratitude towards Henry. This also makes William feel contempt for his own ingratitude. As Henry's fame and position increases, William seeks advancement within the church. Once he secures position of dean, William begins to insult Henry for his 'useless occupation', highlighting the shame it brings on him in his position of dean. No longer feeling worthy of his brother's company, Henry decides to marry in the hope of finding a companion and friend better suited to his own position.

Henry does find a wife, when William hears and discovers she is a singer, they argue. William refuses to accept Henry's wife, or introduce her to his own wife Lady Clementina. The brothers are estranged for over a year, when William hears of the death of Henry's wife. Unsure of how he should conduct himself, William seeks the advice of his wife, who informs him, with Henry being the inferior, it should be Henry alone to be the first to seek reconciliation. At first William agrees, however constant exposure to Lady Clementina's vanity and selfishness, causes him to reflect on his previous behaviour, and he proceeds to seek Henry out. He finds that Henry has in fact left England for Africa, with his son, following the death of his wife. Time passes, and William and his wife have a child, a boy also named William, who is doted on by his father and educated in the manner equal to his high position in society.

When William Jnr reaches the age of thirteen, a sailor arrives at their home, along with a young boy. A letter is handed to William Snr, from his brother Henry. In the letter Henry explains how after a fall he was unable to play or entertain, which resulted in him losing most of his friends. Through feelings of shame, he was unable to seek out his brother, and decided to travel, hoping to secure a fortune again. Instead, the natives of the island they travelled to, after hearing him play the violin, have held him and his son, also named Henry, captive for years. His hand has again become weak, fearful he may not be able to play for much longer, which could put his son in danger, he has managed, with help, to secure safe passage to England for the boy. He asks William for forgiveness, requesting that William let the boy live with him, and to blame any ignorance they find the boy has on his teachings. William Snr reaction to the boy is a show of instant affection and acceptance. At first his wife behaves rather aloofly, until she considers how the public will respond. She decides to treat Henry Jnr as her own son, for it will excite her friends and she will be viewed as heroic, making her enemies jealous. For William Jnr, he is not jealous of Henry, instead he looks forward to his new cousin being surprised and in awe of William Jnr's superiority. While for Henry, he at first takes William Snr to be a little man, given his attitude and demeanour, until he is convince William Jnr and himself are of similar age.

Living with his uncle Henry learns to read, and his exposed to the social norms. He is inquisitive, his questioning highlights the contradictions with the society he find himself. At first he holds a contempt for finery, until the high value of Lady Clementina's Jewels is explained to him. He comes to respect a pair of earrings as much as Lady Clementina. Later, when his uncle is angered by the coachman, and dismisses him, Henry questioned why this would be punishment, for the man has had to wait for hours in the cold and rain. His uncle explains how in society the poor are born to serve the rich, if they decide not to serve, they will starve. Those that do serve will be rewarded in the world after death, where everyone is equal. Henry questions why this world cannot be as good, his uncle answered that 'god has made it so'. Henry also confuses words and their correct meaning, such as compliments for lies, reserve for pride and war or battle for massacre, which irritate his new family. However they put it down to his lack of education and disposition.

The relationship between William Snr and Lady Clementina is one in which she does and dresses as she pleases, without comment or control from her husband, giving the impression in public of a perfect union, but it is this way, as her husband cares nothing for her. The boys grow, William Jnr inherits all his father's pride and ambition, while Henry all his father's humility. Yet Henry believes he has more pride than William Jnr as he will never be able to stoop or act contrary to his feelings, while his cousin gives up his opinion in the face of anyone superior, regardless if they are right. For William Jnr, Henry will never become a great man because of it. There attitudes to the opposite sex are also different, William Jnr is extremely attentive, while Henry admires and feel affection for them from a distance.

When the boys are twenty, William Snr purchases a small estate in a village, near Lord and Lady Bendham. William Jnr becomes attracted to a local girl Agnes, wanting her to become his mistress, while Henry feels a tender regard for the daughter of the village curate Rebecca. William Jnr admires Agnes's beauty, enjoys her company, and they meet in secret. Within a few weeks Agnes has fallen in love with William, admiring his superiority, while William declares his love, he constantly attempts to seduce Agnes into having sex with him, claiming it would prove her true feelings of love for him. Throughout their affair William makes no promises of marriage, or security, however, Agnes eventually gives into Williams seduction. When he leaves at the end of the summer, Agnes falls into a depression, from his cold farewell and guilt from losing her virtue. For Rebecca, she is amazed at first by the attention given to her by Henry. Considered the less attractive of four older sisters she is not used to it. Henry is moved by her quiet unassuming personality, and they begin spending time together, when Henry leaves, Rebecca feels sorrow. Through separation Henry's love for Rebecca increases, while Williams passion for Agnes declines.

William later receives a proposal from his father of marriage to a dependent niece of Lady Bendham, Miss Sedgeley. At first William is disgusted by the prospect, however, once his father explains the great connections and patronage the union will bring, William becomes more interested and eager for the proposal. Determined to force away any remaining affections for Agnes, instead he looks down on her weakness in scorn. Miss Sedgeley's reacts to the proposal of marriage in a similar manner, that it will be a ‘unpleasant home'. Given her position she has no other option but to agree to the union. However, she resolves to ‘make a bad wife, not caring a pin for her husband, and will dress and visit as she pleases. The marriage is kept a secret and the families return to the village the following summer. Henry and Rebecca both experience joy at their reunion, while William and Agnes, are uneasy in on another's company. Agnes's tears and sobs instead of caresses annoy William and he storms off, promising never to see her again. Still Agnes hopes after reflection he will turn up the following night, and she waits, but he does not appear. She writes to him, pleading to see him one more time, to which he response sharply he will keep his word of never seeing her again.

A month passes, one morning Henry is walking through the woods, when he hears a groan, through the mist he sees the figure of a female, who runs away. He spots a new born baby boy left on the ground, covering the baby, decides to bring it to Rebecca. While walking he notices a cord around the baby's neck, realising that the parent had considered killing the baby, before leaving it in the wood. Explaining to Rebecca how he found the baby, they decide to hide it at Rebecca's, so it will not be taken, or the mother prosecuted. The mother of the child is Agnes, believing the baby to be dead, by her hand, she is tormented. Rebecca manages to hide the baby for weeks, until her father and sisters find out. They assume the child is Rebecca, and regardless of her denials threaten to throw her out, unless she confesses who the father is. After much interrogation and threats, Rebecca reluctantly names Henry as the father. Rebecca's father immediately leaves for William Snr house, where he relays the news of Henry's sinful conduct, to William Snr. He is astonished at the news and calls for William, who reacts in the same horrified manner, forgetting his own seduction of Agnes. They call for Henry, who immediately denies Rebecca is the mother, declaring her virtuous, and proceeds to tell the truth of finding the baby. Rebecca is brought to the house, admits to declaring herself mother and Henry father to the baby. She is made to swear of the admission on the bible. Henry, not wanting Rebecca to confess a lie, stops them, asking to marry Rebecca. It is seen by William Snr as an admission of guilt, as punishment for the seduction then lying about it, Henry is banished from his uncle's house.

The wedding between William Jnr and Miss Sedgeley goes ahead as planned. Agnes still believing she has murdered her baby, and tormented by her lost love, decides to end her life, and returns to the wood. Just as she is about to go through with it, Henry appears. She finds out her baby is still alive, admits to Henry the baby is hers and Williams Jnr. She agrees to clear Rebecca's name and is brought before William Snr and others. Here she admits she is the true mother, but refuses to name of the father. Threatened with court where she would likely be made to declare the father, she requests to talk to William Snr in private. He agrees after she explains it involves his family, then in private she admits his son is the father. William Snr gives Agnes the choice of giving up the baby, which will be taken care of, in exchange she may be taken care of, alternatively if she insists on keeping the child, she can expect no help. Agnes decides to keep the child. She returns to her parents’ house, but the reaction of others and the shame brought on her family, she leaves. Henry tries to get William to help Agnes financially, but he refuses. Now that Rebecca and Henry's innocence has been proven, William Snr forbids Henry to marry Rebecca, he is also refused entry to Rebecca's father's house at insistence of his uncle. As he is of age Henry decides to look for his father, to find out what has happened to him. He secures passage and informs his uncle of his decision. He is given money to help him on his way, but his uncle does not expect he will be looking for further financial aid. Before leaving Henry writes to Rebecca declaring his love, and that he will return for her one day.

Agnes tries to find work to support herself and child but is turned away by most. She manages to secure work on a farm, but the work is hard. Years passed and her boy grows, reminding her at times of his father, one difference is that the boy loves his mother, and is extremely attached to her. Her employer dies, and Agnes once again finds herself looking for work. Unable to secure anything she ends up travelling to London, where she eventually secures a position as servant in kitchen. Unfortunately, her mistress pays her only half the wages she should, She is also continually dissatisfied, that the workers live under a constant fear of dismissal. Eventually Agnes find herself unemployed again. She works in various places, unable to secure a more permanent position, and ends up working in a brothel. Later she finds herself working the streets, and falls in with a criminal gang, getting involved in forged bills. She is caught, arrested and brought to jail awaiting trial. In the meanwhile, William Snr has advanced his position to bishop, and William Jnr has become a judge. However William Jnr's riches do not equate to happiness, he is in a loveless marriage, and has no children.

Agnes find herself in court with William Jnr as her judge, he fails to recognise the girl he previous seduced. He finds her guilty and sentences her to death. Days after her execution, William Jnr comes across an article in the paper about Agnes, with details of her dying words. In this she explains the circumstances of her downfall, and is accepting of her judgement. The article also tells how Agnes, the condemned woman, wrote to the judge who had given the death sentence, requesting his protection of her son. William realises the women is Agnes and that the boy is his son. He sends for the boy to be brought to him, but finds out that boy, sick and pinning for his mother since her execution, has died.

Nineteen years pass, when Henry Snr and Henry Jnr finally arrive back in England, after a difficult journey, fraught with delays through shipwreck, imprisonment and illness. Henry Jnr is fearful whether his love Rebecca is alive or not, while his father's hoping that his brother William Snr, will receive them with kindness, and not with a reserved manner. They travel to an inn a few miles from William Snr's palace, to await a response from a letter they had sent previous.

In Eastern Afghanistan, three NATO operatives (one of whom, Lieutenant Pruitt, is injured) trek through the desert in search of aid, the only survivors of ''Black Hawk Idaho Six'', which had crashed while on a mission to extract the British unit Bravo One-Five. During their journey, the trio encounter a bloodied and hysterical Taliban fighter who Cooper shoots, discovering afterward that the man's firearm was damaged and empty.

The soldiers later stumble onto five more Taliban fighters, all dead, and with their heavily mutilated remains showing signs of dismemberment and organ removal. A rattling noise then permeates the area, prompting a hidden quartet of camouflaged men armed with crude melee weapons to start advancing on the NATO personnel. The men do not respond to Corporal Twiggs's attempts to communicate with them, and are unaffected by being shot, even in the legs and head. The quartet begin to overpower the NATO crew, and during the struggle two of the assailants have their shrouds ripped off, revealing them to be withered corpses whose facial orifices are sewn shut.

The source of the rattling sound is revealed to be a man dressed in black robes who is swinging a can full of rocks. The figure is shot to death by the surviving three members of Bravo One-Five, silencing the shaken pebbles and causing the zombies to become inert. The Bravo One-Five members help the NATO crew recover, and explain that they had earlier been attacked by the "Stitched" creatures, which can seemingly only be stopped by taking out their masters, and by blowing them up while they are in their stupored state. Having already used up all of their C-4 in earlier battles, the six soldiers are forced to leave the immobilized "Stitched" unmolested, though as they vacate the area Twiggs notices that one of the creatures appears to be shedding tears.

Benny is also violent towards his wife, the equally nefarious Tonye (Edyth-Jane Azu) who does not approve of her husband's siblings living under their roof, and is particularly horrid towards Nana Kofo (Ruth Osu), the elderly Ghanaian housekeeper who has served the family for years. With their father Richard Sr. critically ill back in America and Richie lacking experience, Ann is determined to restore the company's reputation and fight off competition from scheming rivals, most notably the unscrupulous Segun Kadiri (Richard Mofe-Damijo) who bears a long-time grudge towards the Haatropes. He blames them for his descent into childhood poverty following his mother's death, and has sworn vengeance.

Ann's best friend, banker Ada Okereke (Mildred Iweka), is married to school teacher Nduka (Bimbo Manuel), but the couple face several problems including their class difference (Ada is the daughter of wealthy parents while Nduka is from a more humble background), Nduka's jealousy, and Ada's inability to conceive. Ada is later revealed to be an ''osu'' which infuriates Nduka's mother (Obiageli Molube) who refuses to accept an 'untouchable' as her daughter-in-law, and is on a mission to break up the couple. Nkemji (Uche Mobuogwu), an uncouth teenager from family friend Peace Fuji's village, is brought into her son's home as his new spouse but Nduka, who would later work for Haatrope Investment, rejects her as he loves his wife dearly. Nduka is also jealous of the friendship between his wife and her old university boyfriend Kunle Ajayi (Paul Adams), a Haatrope Investment employee with unrequited love for his boss Ann.

The situation is not helped when Fuji marries Ireti (Sola Onayiga), a trainee caterer who comes under fire from the rest of the Fuji clan for her sophisticated cuisine which does not suit the family's simpler tastes. The hypocritical Fuji continues his womanising but remains a strict disciplinarian with his children who are forbidden from leaving the house without permission or dating.

An interviewer questions Thomas Harbor, the man who scientifically proved the existence of an afterlife, a discovery that led to an extremely high suicide rate. The interviewer asks Harbor if he feels responsible, and he says no. Directly after, a film crew member kills himself on air.

On the second anniversary of the discovery, Harbor's son Will travels on a ferry where he meets Isla. They have a conversation and Will notes Isla looks very familiar. He says he is upset people keep killing themselves, while Isla thinks it's an easy way out. Will shares a memory he had while being dead for a minute, where he saw a young boy at a beach.

Will's brother Toby picks him up and drives him to an isolated mansion where their father is continuing his research. Will notes the large number of helpers, who Toby says used to be suicidal and now have a new purpose. Will meets Lacey and Cooper, his father's aides. Thomas is periodically "put under" and revived while hooked to various machines. When they speak, Will blames Thomas for starting a cult and for the high suicide rate. Will announces his intention to get Thomas to recant his statement about the afterlife and stop the suicides.

Later, Will sees Isla on the beach preparing to commit suicide. He barely saves her and brings her to the mansion, where she is taken in. At a later meeting with the occupants, Thomas reveals his new work - a machine that can record what people see in the afterlife.

To test the machine, Toby, Will and Isla steal the corpse of Pat Phillips from the morgue. Will reveals to Isla the reason for his resentment towards Thomas: his mother killed herself when Thomas was too obsessed with his work to care about her.

Phillips' corpse is hooked to the machine, but nothing happens. After everyone leaves, Will undoes his earlier sabotage on the machine. Immediately the screen shows a video sequence of Pat Phillips driving to a hospital, visiting someone and fighting with a woman there. Will visits the hospital, but finds the hallway from the video gone.

During a meeting, Thomas confronts Lacey about revealing to others about the failed test and expels her from the mansion. Will shows Isla the recording, theorizing that the machine records memory rather than the afterlife. They find a record of Pat Phillips' father, who died in the hospital. Further investigations reveals the events in the recording don't match what actually happened. Pat never visited his dying father in the hospital.

Isla confides in Will that she had a son, who died while she was asleep. Isla and Will grow closer together and share a kiss, which is interrupted by Toby.

Together they rush to Thomas, who is hooked to the machine. They observe he is seeing the night their mother killed herself, except that Thomas stops her. They are able to revive Thomas, who concludes the afterlife is an alternate version of their existing life, only with different choices made. They agree to destroy the machine, as this revelation would provoke millions of suicides by people wanting to improve the lives they have. Thomas prepares to hold a speech, which is interrupted by Lacey shooting Isla, claiming she has just "relocated" her. Isla dies in Will's arms.

Later, a devastated Will hooks himself up with the machine. He arrives back on the ferry, where he meets Isla again, who states this is a memory. It is revealed Will is living in a memory loop trying to prevent Isla's death and he restarts on the ferry every time. Isla says he saved her and they both will move on now. Although Toby and Thomas try to revive Will, he dies, promising Isla to remember her.

Will stands on the beach, where he sees a little boy and gets him out of the water. The little boy's mother, Isla, arrives and thanks Will. They don't recognize each other. After she leaves, he walks away, but as he starts to recall who Isla is, he stops and slowly looks back.

Described as "an unashamed tear-jerker" by film writer Clive Hirschhorn, ''My Old Dutch'' is the story of a devoted marriage over 40 years—from the couple's meeting until their rescue from a gender-segregated workhouse in their old age. The screenplay was inspired by Albert Chevalier's celebrated song, "My Old Dutch" (1892). The title is a Cockney colloquialism for a partner or friend—or, in this case, wife.

''The Pickwick Papers'' comprised three reels, individually titled "The Adventure of the Honourable Event", "The Adventure at the Westgate Seminary", and "The Adventure of the Shooting Party". The film does not adapt Dickens's novel in its entirety; each reel depicts a distinct episode from the beginning of the book.

In "The Honourable Event", Mr. Pickwick catches a cab to meet three friends from his club but gets in an altercation with the cab driver upon arrival. The cabman is placated by a tall, thin gentleman named Mr. Jingle, whom Pickwick invites to dine at the Bull Inn in Rochester with his three friends—Mr. Snodgrass, Mr. Winkle, and Mr. Tupman. The group catches a coach to Rochester and dinner is served. As the evening progresses, all but Jingle and Tupman doze off, and the two decide to attend a charity ball being held that evening at the inn. As Jingle does not have the proper attire, Tupman takes clothes from the room of the sleeping Winkle for him to wear.

At the ball, Jingle incites the envy of one of the other guests, Dr. Slammer, by escorting a woman named Mrs. Budger to her carriage. The next morning, Slammer sends a message to the inn requesting a duel with "the slim gentleman" who had insulted him. The bewildered Winkle accepts the duel, believing he had inadvertently insulted someone while drunk the night before. The duel is about to commence when Slammer realizes that a mix-up has occurred. The two men return to the inn, whereupon Slammer recognizes Jingle as the man who had insulted him and again demands a duel. Pickwick, however, refuses to accept that Jingle has done anything wrong and sends Slammer on his way.

"The Shooting Party" begins with Pickwick and a group of friends—including Winkle, Tupman, and Pickwick's servant Sam Weller—setting out on a hunting expedition. As Pickwick is lame, he is carried in a wheelbarrow along the way by his servant. The party sits down for lunch on land belonging to an adjacent estate. Pickwick falls asleep, and the others continue with the expedition. The owner of the estate, Captain Boldwig, discovers Pickwick as he is making an inspection of his land and angrily sends Pickwick—still asleep in his wheelbarrow—off to the town jail, where his friends discover him that evening.

"The Westgate Seminary" opens with a conversation between Sam Weller and Mr. Jingle's servant, Job Trotter. Trotter falsely informs Weller that his master is planning to elope with a girl from the nearby Westgate boarding school for young ladies. Pickwick resolves to foil this elopement and scales the school walls that night with the goal of catching Jingle. Jingle does not arrive, however, and Pickwick is discovered by the frightened residents of the school, who lock him in a closet until the veracity of his story can be established. Upon the arrival of his friends, Pickwick is freed.

Romeo is a middle-aged doctor employed at a local hospital in the Romanian region of Transylvania. He lives with his wife, Magda, and their 18-year-old daughter, Eliza, who has got a scholarship to Cambridge University. She is preparing to sit her final exams and needs to maintain a grade of at least 90% to take up her scholarship. Romeo is a doting father and drives Eliza to school regularly.

Romeo's girlfriend, Sandra, is a teacher at Eliza's school. One day while visiting Sandra he receives a message: Eliza has been assaulted near her school. She has a sprained wrist and is emotionally shaken up but is not seriously injured. She reveals that the assailant tried to rape her but did not succeed.

The next day Eliza must sit for her first examination. The headmaster tries to exclude her because she is wearing a cast on her wrist - notes can be hidden in a cast. Sandra intervenes and the headmaster backs down. The cast slows her writing and time runs out before she is finished - she will need nearly perfect results on the remaining exams to claim her scholarship.

At the police station the chief inspector suggests to Romeo that Eliza's exam results can be fixed in exchange for expediting a liver transplant for a corrupt official, a Mr. Bulai.

That evening Romeo discusses the plan with Magda and she immediately rejects it - she fears the corruption in Romania will affect Eliza's fresh start at Cambridge. Romeo argues that the exams are a mere formality, otherwise meaningless. She is unmoved. Romeo presents the plan to Eliza and implores her to accept a little help now to ensure a brighter future. She listens to him but doesn't make any committed responses, and Romeo tells her to do what she thinks is best before he leaves to let her rest.

The next day Romeo goes to the police station to see the CCTV from Eliza's attack. As he waits at the school for Eliza to complete her second exam, he speaks to her boyfriend, Marius. Romeo listens to what Marius has to say about what happened on the morning of the attack and is put off by Marius' aloofness of the whole incident. Because he was late, Eliza was left on her own. He also assumed Eliza went off to class and did not seek her out. Eliza and Marius go off together on his motorbike.

Eliza comes to fetch Romeo from Sandra's place after Romeo's mother collapses. No longer able to ignore the affair, Eliza threatens to skip her exams if he doesn't tell Magda about it immediately. She wonders aloud whether her other grades were also "fixed". At home that evening Magda and Romeo talk. Magda already knew about Sandra and will try to get Eliza to take her last exam, but she also asks Romeo to move out.

The next day Romeo arrives for work at the hospital and is confronted by a pair of prosecutors. They want to interview Romeo's patient, Mr. Bulai, about corruption allegations against him. Romeo resists because Bulai is waiting for an operation and is quite unwell. The prosecutors caution Romeo they are aware of the quid-pro-quo arrangement for his daughter's exams - both he and Eliza could be facing charges.

Romeo visits the police station again. The chief inspector assures him that his daughter's assailant will soon be identified in a police line-up. Later that day he sees Marius and invites him to view the lineup, as he believes he saw Marius witness the attack on the CCTV footage. Marius refuses, saying he did not witness the attack, that it is not him in CCTV picture. Romeo accuses him of cowardice for not intervening, and for only calling the cops much later after witnessing the assault. Romeo orders Marius to stay away from Eliza, and Marius pushes him to the ground and leaves. Romeo visits the headmaster at home to warn him the prosecutors know of the plan. The headmaster tells him that he couldn't find Eliza's paper, and that he shouldn't come to his house again.

That evening at the police station Eliza fails to identify her attacker from a line-up. Later, Romeo is on a bus and sees one of the men from the line-up outside. He leaves the bus and follows him, but gets lost in a bad area. He ends up at Sandra's place and agrees to babysit her son the next morning.

The next day Mr. Bulai has died of a heart attack. The prosecutors are waiting and assure Romeo that the investigation into Mr. Bulai's crimes will continue. Romeo asks the prosecutors to come next Monday and he will co-operate with them for any of their questions. Romeo gets Sandra's son Matei into a speech therapy program. Romeo sees Eliza at her graduation and she tells him that she may not go to England. Romeo responds that it would be a shame but it's her decision. Eliza then says that the teachers gave her extra time to complete her exam, so she did not need to follow Romeo's plan for fixing her paper. She asks Romeo to take a photo of her with her graduating class.

Elena rescues the SHIELD agents, Lincoln captures Malick, Daisy defeats Giyera and Joey kills Lucio. The team escape in the Zephyr, but Hive reveals to Giyera that he has taken control of one of the Secret Warriors during the rescue.

During interrogation Malick reveals to Coulson that Hive murdered his daughter, and warns him that Hive can control Inhumans. Lucio's autopsy proves that Hive's parasites infected his brain, and Coulson, realising that the same could have happened to any of the Secret Warriors, has the base secretly locked down, informing only Fitz, Simmons and Mack of the situation. During a power failure Fitz and Simmons find Malick dead in his cell, before a grenade destroys his body, covering up the cause of his death. When Coulson attempts to apprehend the Secret Warriors, they evade him and fight among themselves, accusing each other of being under Hive's control, until Daisy leads the others into a cell to put an end to the fighting.

Mack finds James' Kree artifact in Lincoln's possession rather than in the Playground vaults, and Lincoln is accused of being under Hive's control. He protests his innocence and defends himself, but is subdued by Daisy. Joey and Elena have grown distrustful of SHIELD because of how they were wrongfully accused and treated, and they are allowed to leave the Playground, after submitting to brain scans proving they are not infected. While working on a way to cure those Hive has infected, Fitz and Simmons kiss.

Daisy escapes her cell and visits an incarcerated Lincoln, revealing that she is the one who is under Hive's control, and that she murdered Malick and framed Lincoln. She tries to convince him to leave with her and join Hive, but a disappointed and betrayed Lincoln refuses. Stealing the Kree artifact and several Terrigen crystals, Daisy uses her powers to destroy much of the Playground, with Coulson, May, Fitz, Simmons, Mack and Lincoln trapped inside, before escaping in a quinjet.

In an end tag, Hive informs Giyera that Daisy (whom he refers to as 'Skye', based on Ward's memories) has killed Malick, and they debate what to do with the vast fortune he left behind.

Prince Eric, his adviser, Grimsby, and sailors are aboard a ship at sea, discussing the "mythical" merfolk that supposedly live under the sea. Grimsby wants Eric to return to court to fulfill his birthright as king. However, Eric hears a beautiful voice and commands it to be followed ("Fathoms Below").

Deep on the ocean floor in the merfolk kingdom, a concert in honor of a thwarted coup d'état by Ursula is underway, being performed by the daughters of Triton the sea king. King Triton's court composer, Sebastian the crab, has composed a song for girls to perform ("Daughters of Triton"). However, the youngest daughter, Ariel, is not there for her solo, bringing the concert to a halt. Ariel has forgotten about the concert and is swimming around the surface, admiring a new item for her collection, a fork. She reveals that she is fascinated with the human world. Together with her best friend Flounder, Ariel visits Scuttle and his fellow seagulls to ask about the human things she's collected, and he explains them somewhat erroneously ("Human Stuff").

Elsewhere, the sea witch Ursula is planning revenge against, King Triton. She was banished from the palace for using black magic, and tells her minions Flotsam and Jetsam to keep an eye on Ariel, whom she thinks will be the key to getting the crown and trident.

When Ariel returns home, she is berated by King Triton, who is angered to learn that she has been on the surface, since contact between the merfolk and human world is forbidden. Ariel rushes off upset, and King Triton assigns Sebastian to watch over Ariel to make sure she doesn't get into trouble. Ariel sits alone in her grotto, which contains her collection of human things, and imagines living in the human world ("Part of Your World"). Sebastian shows up and finds out about Ariel’s collection of human things, and tells her that the ocean is better than land (“Under the sea”) After, Sebastian notices Ariel has left, so he sets out to look for her. Ariel and Flounder meet Scuttle at the surface to see Prince Eric's ship up close. On board, Grimsby tells Eric that he must find a bride and take his place as king. A storm suddenly hits, and Eric is tossed overboard. Ariel saves him from drowning and drags him to shore. She realizes that she is falling in love with him, and vows to find a way to be with him ("Part of Your World (Reprise)").

After Ariel returns home, her behavior makes her sisters and Flounder suspect that she has fallen in love ("She's in Love"). Sebastian reveals to King Triton that Ariel has saved a human. Triton angrily confronts her about it and uses his trident to destroy Ariel's human collection. . Ariel is encountered by Flotsam and Jetsam, who sweet talk her into seeking help from Ursula.

Ariel goes to meet Ursula, who presents a deal: Ariel will be turned into a human for three days, during which she has to win the kiss of true love from Eric. If she does, she will be human permanently; if not, her soul will belong to Ursula. In exchange, Ariel must give up her voice, which will stay in Ursula's magic nautilus shell ("Poor Unfortunate Souls"). Ariel signs the agreement and sings into the shell, after which she is transformed into a human and swims up to the surface.

Sebastian and Flounder bring Ariel, newly human, to shore. Scuttle and the seagulls give her a pep talk to raise her spirits and help her get used to her new legs. Eric arrives, but when Ariel tries to talk to him, she cannot speak. Eric brings Ariel back to his palace, where Carlotta, the head mistress, and the maids bathe and dress Ariel. Ariel is fascinated by the human world, while the maids wonder why Eric has brought such a girl to the palace. That night Chef Louis cooks dinner for Ariel, Grimsby, and Eric, and almost cooks Sebastian for the grand finale ("Les Poissons").

Eric and Ariel spend time together, during which Eric teaches her to dance ("One Step Closer"). After a tour of the kingdom, Eric takes Ariel on a quiet boat ride through a lagoon. Sebastian and Scuttle watch anxiously and try to create a romantic atmosphere for Eric to kiss Ariel ("Kiss the Girl"). Just before they kiss, Flotsam and Jetsam give the boat an "electric shock" and swim away. As the second day ends, Ariel wishes she had more time and could tell Eric everything, Triton worries about where his daughter has gone, Sebastian is concerned that Ariel's time as a human is almost up, and Eric still dreams of finding the girl who saved him even though he does not want to lose Ariel. Sebastian returns to the sea and tells an angry King Triton about Ariel's deal with Ursula.

On Ariel's last day as a human, Grimsby has arranged a contest for all foreign princesses to sing for Eric, so he may choose one for his bride ("The Contest"). Eric isn't interested in any of them, and Ariel asks to participate, dancing for him. Eric picks her, but before they can embrace, Ursula appears, declaring that the sun has set and Ariel now belongs to her. Flotsam and Jetsam grab Ariel to take her back to the sea. King Triton arrives to confront his sister, agreeing to take Ariel's place. Ursula claims the trident and declares herself queen ("Poor Unfortunate Souls" (Reprise)). She banishes Triton with a wave of the trident. During a battle with Eric's ship, Ariel grabs Ursula's Nautilus shell and regains her voice. Ursula begs Ariel to return the shell to her, as her power is contained within it. Ariel is torn but destroys the shell just in time, which restores King Triton to his throne and daughter.

Eric and Ariel are reunited on the beach, and Eric asks King Triton for his blessing to marry Ariel. King Triton says that it is Ariel's place to answer, and she accepts Eric's proposal. King Triton then says goodbye to his daughter. In honor of his daughter, Triton declares peace between the humans and merfolk. Ariel and Eric are married and sail away on a ship ("Finale").

The movie takes place in 1982. Professional vale-tudo fighters were struggling because of the lack of matches. So they decide to travel through several regions of Brazil to fight with altered and violent people from small countryside towns. And one of these, known as Toni Tora Pleura (Fábio Goulart), travels through the countryside of Ceará and in one of his winning fights, announces that he will arrive in the city of Quixadá, where the protagonist of the film lives, Aluísio Liduíno (Edmilson Filho), who likes to be called Aluísio Li.

Aluísio is fascinated by Chinese culture and especially by Kung fu films. Because of this, he behaves and dresses like a Shaolin, which makes him a laughing stock in his city. He works at Seu Zé's (Dedé Santana) bakery and is in love with his daughter, Anésia Shirley (Bruna Hamú) - even though she is engaged to Armandinho (Marcos Veras).

The candidate for mayor of Quixadá, Rossivaldo (Frank Menezes), using Toni Tora Pleura's challenge to win votes from the population and win the local election, summons opponents to face him. With the lack of volunteers, Aluísio Li appears, indicated by his friend Piolho (Igor Jansen) and he offers himself for the fight. Rossivaldo then gives Aluísio money to prepare for combat.

Piolho's cousin, Jesus (Haroldo Guimarães), informs Aluísio that in Quixeramobim, a city neighboring Quixadá, there is an alleged Kung fu master named Wilson (Falcão) and says he can train him for fighting. In this they both go to him and Aluísio asks to be trained in the Chinese martial art. Wilson refuses, but when Aluísio shows him the money, he changes his mind. Right after the training, Aluísio receives his Shaolin graduation from his master and at night he goes together with Piolho to a bar in the city and gets involved in a fight with some MMA fighters and winning. Aluísio then pays Master Wilson and returns to Quixadá. The victory in the fight at the Quixeramobim bar soon reaches the ears of the Quixada population and Aluísio is received as a celebrity by candidate Rossivaldo and his boss Seu Zé. That same night, Aluísio is woken up to solve a street fight and when he gets there, he is approached by Armandinho - jealous of the approach of Anésia and Aluísio - and the fighters he defeated in Quixeramobim's bar. The Shaolin gets punched and falls unconscious.

Piolho reveals to Aluísio that Master Wilson is a fake and that the fight in the bar was staged by him and the leader of the fighters - his relative - so that the Shaolin of the Sertão would win and then pay him the training money. He falls out of favor in Quixadá, being despised by everyone and indulging in drink. In a moment when he mixes fury and drunkenness, he destroys the Chinese artifacts in his room and finds a VCR tape containing a movie called ''"A Voadora do Dragão"'' and decides to watch it. However, as he was poor and didn't have a reproductive device in his house, he ended up remembering that he had one at Rossivaldo's house, when he was invited to a dinner party. He breaks into his house, takes the device but is discovered and arrested.

The day of the fight arrived and Quixadá had no fighter, due to Aluísio Li's arrest. Rossivaldo, fearing the cancellation of the fight and later his defeat in the elections, asks that Aluísio be released from the police station. In a long and difficult fight, Aluísio defeats Toni Tora Pleura and with the award received, he founded the ''Academia de Luta Irmãos Gêmeos de Parte de Pai'' (or Father's Part Twin Brothers Fight Academy) in Quixadá.

To make things better, he is planning to get a visa so Maria would stay with her grandparents in Arizona. However, Rachel Simons denies him a visa. Rachel, an intelligent diplomatic, works for the embassy of the United States of America. After getting promoted in London, Art, her boss, entrusts her final duty: to take care of a laptop loaded with data, until he returns from the out-of-town business. Rachel's overbearing mother belittles her daughter's lifestyle because she isn't happy about her promotion in London.

Rachel's co-workers surprise her with a goodbye party in which Alejandro and his band were hired to perform in. He spots Rachel and attempts to draw her attention multiple times in vain. After Rachel becomes intoxicated and suddenly leaves the party, Alejandro finds her attempting to sleep in a bus stop. He helps her up and calls a taxi to bring her into his home to rest.

The following morning, Maria tickles Rachel, causing Rachel to awaken in panic. After finding out her drunken state the night before, she realizes that she misplaced her laptop. Alejandro locates it next to her clothing but hides it, and offers help on finding it with his help of his comical best friend and band member, Carlos Nicanor "Canicas" Castro. Alejandro assumes that if he remains close to her and gains her trust, he can convince her to give him a visa for Maria. To make his plan seem believable, Alejandro calls others in Mexico City to aid him in his 'search' for Rachel's laptop. Throughout the next two days, he takes Rachel to the bar where her party was held, the embassy, a taxi cab company president, a black-market dealer, and a computer repair shop.

While meeting with the computer repairman, Alejandro forgets that he has to perform for Maria, and arrives late at her school. After spectating his performance, Rachel develops close feelings for Alejandro. She explains that she had a hard time connecting with others. Her father traveled across the world for his job, before he died away from his family, which made it difficult for Rachel to bond with other people and develop strong relationships.

Prior to those two days, Alejandro was supposed to pay the money to Hapi, a loan shark. Due to his negligence, Hapi has his home burgled, taking Rachel's laptop with him. Alejandro has three hours to pay him 20,000 pesos. In order to meet this amount of money, Rachel suggests the idea of selling his albums and performing with his band. After singing one of his songs, the two kissed. When Alejandro arrives to pay Hapi, he refuses, because he is short 2,000 pesos. As a last resort, Rachel gives Hapi her watch that her boss gave to her. While retaking his things, Alejandro and Canicas see that the laptop was not in its case, but do not reveal this fact to Rachel. When the three arrive home, Alejandro sees the computer lying on his table with a note from Maria. He takes this note and has Canicas put the computer back in the laptop case and gives it back to Rachel.

Throughout her experience, Rachel was happy that she lost the laptop because she met Alejandro, and they sleep together. In the morning, she finds Maria's stickers on the keyboard of the laptop and feels betrayed that Alejandro manipulated Rachel to obtain a visa. Alejandro tries to explain that the city is not a safe environment for his daughter, which is why he wanted a visa. Rachel leaves and refuses to speak to him.

The film tells the story of two Māori families, the Mahanas and the Poatas, who are bitter rivals. The enmity purportedly dates back to Tamihana Mahana falling in love with Ramona and rescuing her from her betrothed, Rupeni Poata, who she did not want to marry. By the late 1950s, Tamihana is the patriarch of the Mahana clan and runs a successful sheep shearing family business in the Gisborne District, while his headstrong grandson Simeon chafes under Tamihana's authoritarian rule.

As punishment for making snide remarks during the family's dinner prayer, Tamihana assigns Simeon household chores. While cleaning his grandmother's study, Simeon discovers a photograph of Ramona and Rupeni as a couple. Later, Simeon shows the photo to his mother Huria and his aunts. Huria chides her son for digging into family history and claims that his grandmother could not stand Rupeni. Simeon later asks his grandmother about the photograph, who is reluctant to talk about the matter but remarks that "men fight for what they want".

The following day, Tamihana assigns Simeon the task of transporting a slain sheep to his family at a distant shearing station. On the way, Simeon discovers Ramona's abandoned homestead. At the shearing station, Simeon learns that the Mahana shearers have sufficient meat supplies and that his grandfather sent him on a pointless errand. When Simeon vents his resentment towards his grandfather, his mother reminds him that Tamihana is the source of their livelihood.

Tamihana later allows Simeon and the other Mahana grandchildren to watch the Western film ''3:10 to Yuma'' at the local cinema in town, but the screening is disrupted when a local youth, Mihaere Poata, rides his horse into the theatre. Chaos erupts, and Simeon takes the opportunity to kiss Poppy Poata amidst the frenzy. The next day, Simeon and his class visit the local courthouse as part of a school trip. (At the time, the Māori language was not permitted to be spoken in courtrooms, among other places.) One of the defendants is Mihaere Poata, who is sentenced to two years in prison for criminal mischief. Simeon is asked by his teacher, Mr. McKenzie, to address the judge on behalf of his class; however, rather than thank the judge for allowing the class to witness the proceedings of the New Zealand legal system, Simeon gives a moving speech criticizing Mihaere's overly harsh treatment and the ban on the Māori language. Outside the courthouse, Simeon is praised by both Mr McKenzie and Rupeni Poata for his courage.

Back at the Mahana family home, Tamihana, already displeased with Simeon for associating with Rupeni, attempts to punish his grandson by forcibly giving him a haircut when Simeon protests Tamihana's decree that the children are no longer allowed to attend the cinema. Simeon's father Joshua rushes to his son's defense and accidentally strikes Tamihana. As punishment, an enraged Tamihana disinherits Joshua, Huria, and their children, exiling them from the farm. Ramona intervenes and, over her husband's protests, bequeaths her house and land to Joshua and his family. Simeon and his family work hard to restore the dilapidated house. Ramona also visits Simeon's family to provide them with moral support. Simeon's aunt Miriam and her lover Pani later join Simeon's family when they are similarly banished.

One night while trying to repair a leak in their roof during a storm, Joshua falls to the ground and breaks his leg. Huria tells Simeon to get help from Tamihana; knowing his hard-hearted grandfather will not come, Simeon instead seeks help from Rupeni, who outfits Joshua with a Thomas splint. Joshua's injury forces Simeon and the rest of his family to seek the district's seasonal shearing contract in order to make enough money to survive, which usually goes to Tamihana's crews; this causes further friction between Joshua and Tamihana's respective families, but Joshua's family is eventually given the contract.

Some time later, at a local sheep-shearing competition in which Joshua, Simeon and Pani are entered in as contestants, Tamihana suddenly becomes gravely ill, and Ramona privately reveals to Simeon that Tamihana has terminal bowel cancer. Ramona also tells him the truth behind the Mahana-Poata rivalry; that she truly loved Rupeni and that Tamihana did not rescue her as most people believe, but actually forced himself on her, and that she, pregnant with Tamihana's child, was made by the family elders to marry him according to the traditions of the time. That night, on his deathbed, Tamihana reaches an understanding with his grandson, and gives him a letter hidden in a drawer; he passes away soon after. During Tamihana's funeral, the Poata clan, led by Rupeni, arrive unannounced. Before a fight can break out, Simeon stands up and reveals the contents of Tamihana's letter, which admitted his misdeed and also contained a written agreement between Tamihana and Ramona that she could return to Rupeni following his death. After some debate, Ramona speaks up for her grandson and confesses that she never loved Tamihana. The Mahanas and Poatas reconcile, and Rupeni praises Simeon for bringing peace to their two families. Rupeni and Ramona leave together, and Simeon begins dating Poppy.

At the Plantation Terrebonne in Louisiana, Dido and Minnie chat about the arrival of George, and the passing of his uncle, their previous master. Pete, George, and Dora acquaint themselves when Zoe enters to meet George. M’Closky announces that Terrebonne is for sale and plots to steal Zoe; because she is an octoroon, she is a piece of property and therefore a part of the estate.

Act II

George photographs Dora with his camera while she and Zoe plot to make George marry her. Pete sends Paul to go find a letter that would promise enough money to save Terrebonne.

Searching him, George finds the letter which resolves the conflict of Terrebonne's future. A plate from George's camera is presented, showing both Paul sitting, and M’Closky murdering him is presented and proves M'Closky's guilt. Pete pleads for M’Closky to not be lynched, so George demands that M'Closky be taken away, not revenged by Wahnotee, but M'Closky escapes and sets fire to the boat. Wahnotee murders M’Closky. Assistant announces that the boat explodes.

The resulting investigation causes Kamaishi to commit suicide. Meanwhile, Shimiji gets sick and dies from cancer, prompting Mizuno to murder Kinbun, who had abused her and forced four abortions.

Gravure photographer Tamao Yamato is assigned to photograph Tomura, tracking her down to her hometown and finding her sleeping with a pacifier in her mouth amongst department store items. Hachisuka warns Yamato of Tomura's past, but Yamato gets Tomura to agree to be photographed under the condition that it be done in Greece. Tomura burns her house down and learns about Mizuno's crime. Tomura is photographed nude on an outcrop, and when Hachisuka finds them, poisons his drink. Using Tomura's diary which was found by Hachisuka, Yamato discovers her past, but she exchanges it for photographs of Yamato handing Hachisuka the poisoned drink, as well as the photographs taken of her. Tomura moves to Greece, staying as a photographer and exhibiting the nudes as her own work.

''Black Children's Day'' does not follow a linear structure, though it depicts a chaotic hour before the Children's Day Play. A note from the author at the start of the play indicates that "The most important thing about the play is that things happen simultaneously." Throughout the entire play, The Children paint whatever is happening on stage onto the murals. The more chaotic the scene is, the more ferociously The Children paint. The Asst. Curator is also showing fragmented films throughout the play. The short one-act opens with The Children reciting a fragmented poem about the state of World War II. This poetic passage is repeated throughout the play, and mentions Adolf Hitler, The Third Reich, Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Stalin. A very general plot begins, when we are introduced to The General, who fights with the landlord's men about his right to vote on "Lection Day", in 1840. The scene abruptly transitions to Caroline, who sings an 1840s song while The Children dance a 'Lection Day' dance. The Children then recite very fragmented passages about the Walker-Smith House, where they are putting up their play, and then repeat the poetic passage about the state of World War II. We are then introduced to another repeated theme, the wedding of Constance and Roy, played by The Children. They have plans to get married, and throughout the play, they prepare for the big day. Constance recites a hundred-year-old poem while The Children repeat the World War II poem yet again. The play transitions yet again to Roy as an Editor, who states that he formed the Free African Society, and will lead a group of Negroes to Liberia. A third plot point is then introduced; Ship Vine and its passage to Liberia. Constance and Roy are then married. They trade Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy rings, and The Children throw flowers on them. The play then transitions again, and The Children as Passengers are waiting to board the Ship Vine to Liberia. The passengers recite a creed, and Constance and Roy board the ship. They ask if The General would like to join them, though he politely declines, and the ship sails away. As the ship disappears, The General is grabbed and beaten to death with stones. Some Children reenact an Indian battle, while others continue to draw the sailing ship and The General's death on the murals. The Asst. Curator, who has been showing fragmented film clips the entire play, has now disappeared. Constance tells Roy it is their wedding day, and suddenly, the Carriage Room explodes. Cries and yelling are heard, and it is revealed that the whites have bombed the church. The play ends with The Children solemnly saying, "They're dead. Connie and Roy are dead."

''The Rules of Charity'' focuses on a middle-aged man named Monty, and his daughter Loretta. Monty has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, and Loretta, a grown woman, cares for him. The play focuses around their relationship, the anger and resentment that lives within their connection, as well as the love between them. The play also focuses on how one navigates our world when one is an outsider, whether that is because of one's ability or disability, sexuality, religion, or social class.

Structurally, ''The Rules of Charity'' is in a standard two-act dramatic structure with Act I taking place in the present day, and Act II taking place one year later. The play is also split up by named sections that divide up the action further, framed by a prologue and an epilogue.

Prologue: The Introduction of Cruelty

The play opens with Loretta at the end of her rope, in the apartment that she and her father share, having just slapped her father, knocking over his wheelchair. "Cruelty is a form of goodness", she tells him. Menacingly, but laced with the love that she has for her father, she tells him that she will only treat him with cruelty from that moment on.

Act One, Section 1: Apothetai (The Place of Exposure)

The next morning, Loretta and Monty are at home, things are normal again. LH, the superintendent of the building comes in with a bottle of scotch, celebrating his recent raise. Monty invites him to stay for dinner, and LH encourages Monty to try and leave his apartment in order to look for a job. Monty refuses, and it is revealed that Monty and LH are secret lovers. LH tells Monty that he has invited over the daughter of the building owner Paz, who is a documentary filmmaker. She wants to talk to Monty. Monty is unsure, but LH assures him that everything will be fine.

Later that evening, Loretta meets a dull man named Horace by a street corner. They flirt and he asks her out on a date, which she refuses.

The next morning, Paz arrives with LH at Monty and Loretta's apartment. Paz pitches her documentary to Monty - she wants to write about what she perceives as the enormous and dramatic struggle of disabled people. Monty is clearly far superior to her in intelligence, and does not take to her well. However, she offers him a large sum of money to be a part of her documentary, and so Monty promises LH that he will consider it. Monty and Loretta are left alone and share a brief moment of tenderness, it is also revealed that Loretta's mother, Monty's wife, is no longer living and that that day would have been her birthday.

Loretta returns to the street corner to invite Horace over to her apartment for dinner. Initially he is nervous about going to dinner, and says that he usually works until late at the fish factory. She promises him that she will give her father pills to fall asleep so that he can come over without Monty bothering them. He accepts, and she kisses him.

LH and Monty are alone, drinking in Loretta and Monty's apartment. They recount the tales of Greek Mythology that LH read about in books that Monty lent him. Monty describes to LH what the Apothetai was in ancient Greece - the place where disabled babies were left to die. LH is very moved, and asks Monty if he knew he was gay, even when he was married. Monty says that yes, he did. Loretta then enters and puts Monty to bed, giving him his pill that helps him sleep. Monty whispers to himself that he wants to go away with LH and let her live on her own, and in doing so, he throws himself from his bed and lands on the floor. Angry and exasperated, Loretta tells him that he can sleep on the floor.

Act One, Section 2: The Poor Laws

The following morning. Monty is sitting on the couch of his apartment while Paz prepares to begin shooting the documentary. LH and Loretta, one after the other, enter the apartment. They watch as Paz begins to interview Monty for the camera. Her questions offend Monty, as they obsess over what Paz determines to be the 'grotesque' aspect of Monty's disabled existence. She suggests that he ask her some questions in order to make them more comfortable around one another. When he is asking questions about her personal life, Paz reveals that she and LH are together. Monty did not know this and is blindsided. Unaware of Monty and LH's relationship, Paz continues to question Monty, pressing him on his sexuality and financial situation. Turning the questions once more back on her, Monty suggests to Paz that she make her film more about the overall concept of charity. He suggests that she structure her film around the origins of how disability caused societal isolation. She is disappointed, and when she once again asks to hear about his life story, he is enraged and asks her to leave his house. She does.

Once Paz leaves, Monty tells LH that he wants them to be together. LH responds saying that he doesn't want to be with Monty, both because he doesn't want to be gay and because he doesn't want to have to take care of him. LH breaks it off between them, leaving Monty in the apartment alone.

LH and Paz stand outside of the apartment building under a lamppost. LH has moved out of the building and is no longer the janitor there. He proposes marriage to Paz. She accepts.

Back in the apartment, Loretta has fed Monty four of his pills to make him sleep while she and Horace have dinner. They talk about their families and Loretta admits, while Horace sleeps, that she both loves and hates her father. Monty groggily hears her say all of this. Loretta and Horace exit to her bedroom to make love. Monty takes the pill bottle from his bedside table and slowly eats every pill.

Act Two, Section 3: The Baby, Or A Testimony of Dark Things

One year after the events of Act I, Loretta and Horace, and Monty are back in the apartment. Loretta has developed a habit of pretending to be pregnant by sticking a balloon under her shirt, but she tells Horace that they can't afford a real baby.

Later, on a street corner, Loretta, wearing the balloon as a fake pregnant belly, runs into Paz. Paz introduces herself by her real name, Joyce. She tells Loretta that she and LH (now known as Mr. Millicent) are married and are born-again Christians. Seemingly relieved to see Loretta, she asks if a publisher has published her father's journal. Loretta is surprised by this and answers that the journal is not published, that it is not even finished. Joyce offers Loretta money in exchange for her father's journal, for his story.

Back at the apartment, Loretta tries to convince Monty to give her his journal for money. He refuses, especially refusing to give his journal to LH. LH is seen desperately trying to read, but since he can't without Monty, he despairs. At the apartment once again, Horace comes home very drunk after having gotten in a bar fight. Loretta approaches him and tells him that they are going to pretend to be a happily married, pregnant couple in order to sell her father's journal to Joyce. She tells him that after they do so, he is going to leave the apartment and never come back, calling him a cripple who has made her life even worse.

Act Two, Section 4: Knot Stew

Loretta and Horace set up dinner at the apartment, nervous that everything will go well for the dinner with LH (now Mr. Millicent) where they will try to sell Monty's journal. Mr. Millicent arrives at dinner, appearing much changed from the last time Loretta, Horace, and Monty saw him. Monty arrives as well, and begins grilling Mr. Millicent on his latest reading material. Mr. Millicent has trouble keeping up with Monty, which makes Monty smug. Angry, Mr. Millicent reveals that he has come to dinner to ask for the pages in Monty's journal in which he wrote about their romantic relationship, claiming that those stories are lies. Loretta begs for charity, for money in exchange for the journal. Mr. Millicent declares that they are unworthy of charity and refuses Monty's journal, violently flipping over Monty's wheelchair in the process. In response, Horace slits Mr. Millicent's throat, killing him. He apologizes profusely as Mr. Millicent dies, with Monty and Loretta looking on.

Epilogue: The Swallows

Loretta and Monty sit on the floor, Loretta cradling Monty, who is hurt from his fall from his wheelchair. Horace has put Mr. Millicent's body in his car, and tells Loretta that he will drive away with it forever. He tells her to blame the murder all on him, and she agrees. Horace leaves, and Monty hands Loretta the last pages of his journal to read. She reads out loud the last passage from his journal, where he describes telling her, as a baby, that she will have to learn to swallow her pain. Monty dies in Loretta's arms. She smiles.

Belgium, 1999. Albert is a 35-year old Walloon philosopher who works as a Belgian fries salesman. His store is located right on the Belgian language border. He serves his customers in Flanders and bakes his fries in Wallonia. Albert fancies the Flemish woman Wendy. After a new year celebration Albert wakes up and discovers to his horror that overnight a giant wall has been built on the language border, effectively separating Flanders from Wallonia. His store is therefore cut in half. As a citizen of Wallonia he is only able to travel to Flanders by using a visa...

Radcliffe's first attempt to turn humans into Inhumans fails when the Hydra operatives used as test subjects die, and he realises that living Kree blood is needed. Wanting her friends at SHIELD to feel what she is feeling while under Hive's control, Daisy suggests to him that they turn the agents into Inhumans once Radcliffe's experiments succeed. Hive is concerned that Daisy still cares about her human friends, worrying she will not be able to fight them if necessary.

Fitz and Simmons create a potential cure for Hive's infection, but it could destroy the immune system of an Inhuman it is used on. Lincoln offers to be a test subject, but Coulson forbids him. However he later injects himself with the antitoxin anyway, leaving him severely weakened, while proving it would not work against Hive's infection. His immune system having shut down, Lincoln is put in quarantine until he recovers.

Daisy is caught on surveillance by SHIELD, revealing Hive's location to them, but while Mack believes she is resisting the enthrallment and trying to contact SHIELD for help, Coulson suspects a trap. He sends a team led by May and Mack to infiltrate the town and assassinate Hive, and May poses as a Hydra operative to trick James into revealing Hive's whereabouts. The team find the Kree artifact, revealed to be a beacon, which Hive is using to signal to a meteor orbiting Earth. The meteor crashes in the town, and two Kree Reapers, who have been cryogenically preserved inside for over a thousand years, emerge and begin hunting for Inhumans, having been put in orbit by their masters as a fail-safe in case the Inhumans rebelled against them.

One of the Reapers attacks Hive, who eventually kills him in a fight, after which the SHIELD team attempt to destroy Hive with a grenade launcher, which proves insufficient. The other Kree kills Alisha before Daisy incapacitates him, and Radcliffe begins draining his blood. Mack approaches Daisy and tries to convince her to leave with him, still believing she is resisting Hive's control, but she denies it and reveals Hive's plan to transform humankind. Mack then vaporizes the captured Kree with a Hydra splinter bomb, and a livid Daisy attacks him, subduing him with her powers and beating him savagely. May shoots her to save Mack, and the SHIELD agents escape while Radcliffe tends to Hive and Daisy's injuries. Remembering that there is Kree blood inside her from the GH325 injected into her after she was shot by Ian Quinn, Daisy offers to let her blood be harvested.

Act I

The play begins with Brian, Eileen, and Nic returning to Brian and Eileen's apartment in Manhattan. They've just come from the funeral of a child from the Cerebral Palsy Support Group that the three attend. They stopped at a bar on their way home and seem to show an overall lack of empathy for the family of the child that passed. There are clear tensions among the three and while Eileen is out of the room it is revealed that Brian is having an affair with Nic. We then discover that offstage Emily is having a seizure and Eileen once again exits to calm her daughter. While she is away Brian admits his and Eileen's plan. He tells Nic of his dreams to live with her in Buenos Aires and this can happen because Eileen is going to grant him a divorce as well as half his money ($10 million) and a promise they will never see one another again. The couple have planned to abandon Emily at the emergency room in the middle of the night. Brian wants Nic to come with him and insists that she call Dominic's father to have him pick up their son so Nic can run away with Brian. The act ends with Eileen returning to the living room and encouraging Nic to go with the plan and to love Brian. Just before the blackout, Nic agrees to go.

Act II

This act opens during the middle of the next night, the night in which they plan on abandoning their children and running away. Nic arrives at the apartment early feeling overwhelmed and needing to begin the plan immediately. Brian agrees and goes to wake Eileen and gather her things. While he does so, Nic is left alone. Suddenly, Blanka wakes from where she is sleeping under a blanket on the living room couch. She speaks with Nic and tries to understand why Nic feels the need to abandon her child and Blanka works desperately to convince Nic to stay. Nic, in response, tells her of one of the 'bad days' Dominic had recently and how overwhelmed she has become caring for him, reasoning that because of this her only option is to leave. The scene ends with Brian carrying a sleeping Emily out the door with Nic and Eileen close on his heels.

Act III

This act begins once more in the Manhattan apartment. Nic and Eileen sit in the living room. The audience learns that Brian left Nic at the airport security check when she began to have second thoughts about running away with him and abandoning her son. It is also revealed that Eileen had fallen into a drug-induced sleep at her own gate and missed her flight to London. Police found them both and they were quickly arrested for child abandonment. Nic has luckily been granted shared custody of her son. However, Eileen is likely to lose Emily and is having to pack up her things which will be picked up by social workers as Emily is going into foster care. As the two women reflect on their shared experiences the image of Brian (wherever he is in the world) appears and he expresses his true hatred for Emily and everything she represents to him. Blanka then returns, having spent all the money that Brian originally paid her to not go to the police. In an emotional outburst, she convinces Eileen to listen to some of Emily's poems which is the last thing the audience hears as the lights go out. They hear a robotic communication board voice slowly becoming the voice of a little girl.

Hive and James capture several Watchdogs to serve as test subjects for Radcliffe's next experiment, for which he has devised an airborne pathogen created by combining the GH325 in Daisy's blood, Terrigen, and Hive's parasites. However they become super-strong, deformed creatures incapable of speech or independent thought, completely subservient to Hive, who wants a disgusted Radcliffe to make more 'Primitives'.

Following the signing of the Sokovia Accords, Talbot visits the Playground to discuss the Sokovia Accords, wanting to register the Inhumans, to which Coulson is strongly opposed. Elena also returns, wanting to help rescue Daisy, and she tries to help a dispirited Mack as he recovers from the injuries Daisy inflicted, encouraging him to regain his faith. Daisy hacks into the Playground mainframe to talk to a still-quarantined Lincoln, who asks her to run away with him, abandoning both Hive and S.H.I.E.L.D. She agrees while secretly planning to hand him over to Hive, and helps him break out of his cell, steal a quinjet and escape the Playground, sending him her co-ordinates.

However this was part of a plan devised earlier by Lincoln, Coulson and May, who send Lash instead, hoping he may be able to kill Hive. Lash proves a formidable opponent to Hive, neutralizing his parasites when he attempts to enthrall him, and slaughtering the Primitives. He then uses his powers to draw the parasites out of Daisy's brain and destroy them, freeing her from Hive's control, but as she escapes, James impales Lash on a fire-charged chain, killing him. Returning to the Playground, Daisy is taken into custody, while May mourns for Andrew. When Talbot reveals that Hydra stole a warhead from the ATCU, Fitz and Simmons deduce that Hive intends to use it to unleash the mutagenic pathogen into Earth's atmosphere.

In an end tag Mack, his faith restored, is given a crucifix as a gift by Elena (the same crucifix seen in the vision of the dying S.H.I.E.L.D. agent).

The year is 2035 E.R. Giant living creatures called Fiarem have suddenly appeared on Earth.

Although mankind tries to oppose them by releasing a large number of Ectis, a type of battle android, they are undeniably inferior to face the Fiarem, which are over tall and overwhelmingly powerful.

In order to overcome this situation, the Japanese Diet makes the decision to use Cell Growth Factor CGF-3 technology, which enlarges living beings, for military motives and send humans into battle as giant weapons.

Six heroines are selected as appropriate subjects for enlargement, and enter the Anti-Fiarem Specialists Unit, Ragna Strikers. These young women, trusting their bonds with the secret government agency, head into battle with their powerful enemies.

The lives of several guests intersect at a resort in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, Japan.

Part 1

The Vernon's Banking House is a thriving bank in England. After Mr. Rule, a clerk in the bank, hears rumors about a potential collapse of the bank, he seeks out bank owner John Vernon, but finds that Vernon has disappeared. Mr. Vernon's wife has no information about his disappearance or matters of the bank. However, Catherine, a part-owner of the bank, uses her fortune to stop a run on the bank.

Decades later, Mrs. Vernon and her 14-year-old daughter Hester move back to Redborough. When Hester meets Catherine, she forms an unfavorable impression, but she makes friends with Edward, who is Catherine's confidante and protege.

Five years later, Hester befriends the elderly Morgans, suffers through family dinners and rebuffs a marriage proposal from Harry, another of Catherine's proteges.

Part 2

The Morgans' grandson Roland, briefly introduced in Part I, is developed as a love interest for Hester. The Morgans express their concern about his character in part due to his job as a speculator.

Ellen starts hosting tea dances, which allow the youths to mingle unsupervised and Hester to 'come out' in society. Mrs. Vernon is excited to help her daughter Catherine come out. Additionally, Mrs. Vernon's pearls, which she gives to Hester, provide a point of contention.

Roland's sister Emma then comes to stay with the Morgans. She tries to get herself invited to the dances so that she may also 'come out' and marry. Meanwhile, Edward makes his interest in Hester known and his discontent with Catherine grows.

Hester nearly finds out about her father at one of Catherine's parties.

Part 3

Hester's love life is revisited and marriage is discussed, while Roland talks business with Edward and Harry. Harry is opposed to speculating with the bank's money, but Edward seems enthusiastic.

Edward's betrayal hurts Catherine, as well as harming the bank's business. Edward runs away and marries Emma.

Afterwards, Catherine and Hester work together to retain the bank's status and stability.

The name Hester is a Persian name. It means "Star".

The head of the household, Pancracio, is about to leave for a four-day trip and his wife Leonarda appears to be deeply saddened by his departure. In reality, Leonarda is not the least bit saddened by her husband’s absence. In fact, she eagerly awaits the times he is away so that she may entertain guests. However, this time, soon after her husband leaves, a stranger appears at the door asking for a place to stay. Leonarda and her servant decide to put up the weary traveler, who identifies himself as a student from Salamanca who has fallen on hard times. When her two guests Reponces and Nicolás arrive, they make fun of the student's clothing and apparent lack of money. But, the women defend the presence of the student and they all proceed to have a good time. Then, when Pancracio unexpectedly returns home that evening due to transportation issues, the student's wit and stories save Leonarda, permitting her deception to remain unnoticed (at least for another night).

Harry Sands (Ray Winstone) and his wife Joanna (Lindsey Coulson) are concerned when their daughter, Olivia (Rebecca Clarke), fails to make her regular weekend communication from Istanbul, where she is supposedly working as a charity volunteer. When Harry receives a call from Olivia's best friend, Manda (Emily Corrie), stating that Olivia hasn't been seen or heard from in two days, Harry decides to fly out to Istanbul to track her down. Upon his arrival, he meets with the British console Tom Wilson (Owen Oakeshott), who informs him that the police have begun their search for Olivia.

Harry later meets with Manda, but is shocked to discover that neither she nor Olivia have been working for the charity as they previously claimed – and that they have both been working as erotic dancers in the East/West club, run by Arto Fazouk (Kayvan Novak). Harry goes to speak to Arto, but discovers there is much more on offer at the club than just erotic dancing. Meanwhile, Harry learns that Olivia was sent flowers by British businessman Peter Vine (David Westhead), whom he suspects may have been grooming Olivia.

Harry then meets with local Inspector Yilmaz (Haluk Bilginer), who explains that the police have no solid evidence on which they can raid Fazouk's club. However, when Harry later meets a friend of Manda's, who previously worked at the club, she explains that a young Danish girl, Elena Ekstrom (Marit Velle Kile), disappeared in similar circumstances several months ago. She explains that Fazouk's father, Metit (Dimitri Andreas), took a shine to Elena and suspects that he has taken her to his private house on a nearby island. She also reveals that Metit also took the same shine to Olivia.

Harry also suspects that the British console may be protecting Peter Vine, having secured a deal with Vine's construction company for the sale of a number of vessels used to combat drug trafficking. Meanwhile, Harry's son Michael (Gary Lucy) flies out to Istanbul to help with the search. Harry, deciding that Fazouk knows more than he is letting on, threatens him at gunpoint in front of a club full of paying customers. Michael manages to make Harry see sense, but throws his gun into the river before he can cause any further damage. Inspector Yilmaz warns Harry to stay away from Fazouk and let the police continue with their investigation.

Back in England, Joanna receives a postcard, seemingly from Olivia, stating that she is safe and well but need to get away for a while. When Harry shows the postcard to the local police, they confirm it was sent from the Island where Fazouk has a private house. Meanwhile, Joanna contacts the airline who issued Olivia's ticket, who inform her Olivia re-entered the UK two days ago. However, when she and Harry meet to review CCTV footage of her arrival, they find that somebody else has used Olivia's passport and ticket.

Harry breaks into Fazouk's house, where he finds Elena alive and well, but there is no sign of Olivia. Back at Manda's house, Joanna notices the woman who used Olivia's passport in a photo in Olivia's scrapbook. Manda explains that the girl was a cafe worker that they met whilst travelling six weeks ago, who lives in the Kurdish suburbs with her mother and younger brother. But just as Harry and Joanna journey to the suburbs, a bomb goes off at the British embassy, killing the British console. As unrest starts to unfold across the country, Harry and Joanna meet with a Kurdish woman who claims that Olivia gave her passport and plane ticket to her daughter as an act of kindness, to allow her to come to Britain to be with her husband and young daughter.

Harry and Joanna begin to realise that Olivia's disappearance may not be as sinister as they first thought. But when a call finally comes in with a lead on her whereabouts, are Harry and Joanna set to be re-united with their daughter, or has tragedy struck?

A writer compels a publisher to read her manuscript novel that tells the story of her first erotic adventures, under the name Anny.

The film stars Chaske Spencer as Wesley, a young successful Apache novelist who left his family back in Arizona on the San Carlos Indian Reservation nine years earlier. His bestselling novel alienates him from most of his family, including his father Cal played by Gil Birmingham, his brother Tuska played by Tyler Christopher, and his sister Pinti played by Q'orianka Kilcher because of the autobiographical content. However, he remains close to his mother June, played by Tantoo Cardinal.

In Imperial Japanese-occupied Korea, Jung So-yul is a gisaeng-in-training at one of the last remaining gwonbeon, learning to sing jeongga, the classical songs of Korea's upper class. Jung is the daughter of a famous gisaeng, who is also the institution's headmistress. Seo Yeon-hee arrives at the school after she is sold by her father, who cannot take care of her. The young girls become best friends, and are two of the best students in the school. They both enjoy the popular songs of the day, but promise each other to keep their dignity as the only gisaeng who sing jeongga. So-yul's natural talent and beauty make her the center of attention, and she receives invitations from important people, including the Japanese chief of police.

One day in 1943, So-yul meets the top pop songwriter, Kim Yoon-woo, and the two fall in love. Yoon-woo asks So-yul to sing a song he is writing to encourage the Korean people suffering under Imperial Japanese rule. However, things begins to fall apart when he hears Yeon-hee sing and becomes mesmerized by her voice. Yoon-woo writes the song for Yeon-hee, and encourages her to leave the gwonbeon so he can help her become a pop singer, because pop songs speak more to the common people instead of just the upper class. Yeon-hee takes his advice, and So-yul feels betrayed. After spending much time together for the production of Yeon-hee's album, Yoon-woo fell in love with her. Fueled by jealousy, So-yul attempts to regain what she believes her friend stole from her, destroying the lives of those around her, and ultimately, herself.

The film is a biography of popular English composer Tom Barrett known by his stage name Leslie Stuart (Robert Morley), who rose to fame through performances of his songs by the tenor Ellaline Terriss (Dorothy Hyson).

The film is told in flashback with an elderly Bennett listening to a band playing his tunes played by a band on a pier. The women next to him confidently tells him that the composer is dead.

We then go to his childhood, Manchester in 1870, where his relatively poor parents buy him a piano. He proves to be a prodigy. His first break comes in a small hall/bar where the regular piano player falls ill and he is asked to play Stephen Foster tunes. In later life he earns money teaching piano but is not satisfied.

He goes to a concert by Signor Foli (actually an Irishman called Foley) and they become friends. Foley convinces him to start writing songs full time but under a new name.

Despite growing success he is not good with money. Others are also printing his work without permission. This is partly addressed by the Copyright Act but is not enough to save him from debtors prison.

Leaving prison a day late (so he can finish reading a book on Beethoven) he descends to obscurity with the arrival of the Jazz Age.

Through good times and bad his childhood friend Bob Slater stands by him, and encourages him back into society. He has a comeback in British music halls shortly before his death.

Detective Holland calls in Anna Reed to recount her claims that she was involved in a cult whose members were either murdered or committed suicide. Anna narrates a series of flashbacks.

She receives a call at a telephone booth in the city one day, and hears voices calling her name. This causes her to become possessed. Later, at home, she is suddenly overcome by a force, which causes her to give into pleasure.

At the end, the film returns to the present, where Anna is talking to the detective. Anna wanders back out into the city, where she hears the voices again. The film ends showing the door to the mansion being thrown open, with the ghoulish cult there waiting for her.

Setting

''The R Document'' occurs during a future time in the United States when crime, especially violent crime, has become so extreme a problem that FBI Director Vernon T. Tynan is promoting an especially drastic solution: a Thirty-Fifth Article Of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would allow the Bill of Rights to be suspended in favor of its provisions during a national domestic crisis. Tynan, who had joined the Bureau during J. Edgar Hoover's tenure as its Director, had resigned after Hoover had died (saying that "once you had worked for the Old Man...you were spoiled for anyone else" to Ishmael Young, whom he has extorted into ghost-writing his autobiography) rather than work under any of Hoover's successors. (Wallace, indeed, had initially modeled Tynan on Hoover.)

Background

The protagonist of the novel is Attorney General Christopher Collins, whom Wallace modeled on Ramsey Clark, who, while in that office, became one of Hoover's bitterest enemies. At the time when the novel begins, his predecessor, former United States Army Colonel Noah Baxter, is ill, and indeed dying, from a stroke he had suffered. Tynan, the novel's primary antagonist, is responsible for having proposed the 35th Amendment and sold it to Andrew Wadsworth, President of the United States, and the Congress. Moreover, he has secretly formed a two-stage plan to supplement and implement the 35th upon its ratification—that plan going under the code name of "The R Document." (The "R" stands for "reconstruction," specifically that of the United States, so "The R Document" is really "The Reconstruction Document.") Baxter, who had suffered his stroke during a meeting with Tynan and Associate Deputy FBI Director Harry Adcock (modeled by Wallace on Clyde Tolson, complete to the rumors of a homosexual relationship between the two) several months before the events in the novel, tries to reveal to Collins the truth about The R Document and its two "pages," but Baxter dies before he can pass on to Collins what he knows. A Catholic, Baxter had made a deathbed confession to a priest in which he had mentioned The R Document, and Tynan has Adcock attempt (vainly as it proves) to learn that confession's contents from the priest by extortion. This extortion, which fails, owes to an attempt that hard-core delinquents had made, years ago, to stop an anti-drug crusade which the priest had been conducting by entrapping him for drug dealing. The priest ultimately passes on to Collins what little Baxter could tell him of his deathbed message.

Tynan's underhandedness

Tynan proves to be attempting to bring about ratification of the 35th by means of similar scandal-based extortions of the California legislators who will vote on its ratification. Indeed, he has been expanding the Official And Confidential, or "OC," Files that Hoover maintained, for bullying and scandal-based extortion. Collins, who himself is from California, is advised to argue for the amendment on a program called ''Search For Truth.'' But once he is in California, an attempt, ultimately unsuccessful, is made to compromise '''''him''''' by having a prostitute planted in his hotel room.

''Search For Truth''

On the set of the program, which a certain Brant Vanbrugh moderates, Collins is embroiled in a debate with Tony Pierce, who had resigned from the FBI after throwing his support to FBI Special Agents that Tynan was manhandling (who themselves had also resigned from the Tynan Bureau as a direct result) and now heads a grassroots organization called DBR, or '''''D'''''efenders of the '''''B'''''ill of '''''R'''''ights, which he has organized to stop the 35th. Before their debate begins, Collins realizes that he is defending a bomb that will blow the Bill of Rights out of the Constitution because of his own ambition to show his father what he has achieved—misplaced ambition because his father has been dead for years by this time. After the debate ends, the nauseated Collins barely finds a men's restroom and vomits into its toilet, having realized that he has been on the wrong side of the debate over the 35th the whole time.

Tynan against Collins and Collins's encounter with Radenbaugh

Collins's son Josh has joined DBR, and he points out to his father that no government of any truly free nation has a qualified bill of rights which is unguaranteed and/or can be suspended or revoked in peacetime; only tyrannies and freedomless nations do. Tynan, in the meantime, is trying to destroy Collins, whom he and Adcock had realized—through bugging, eavesdropping, and wiretapping—might not be fully behind the 35th before Collins himself did. To do that without involving President Wadsworth, Tynan seeks out money (from illegal campaign contributions) from Donald Radenbaugh, an attorney whom Baxter considered one of his few friends and confidants, who has been confined in Lewisburg Prison since being wrongly convicted of extortion. After springing Radenbaugh and giving him the false identity of Herbert Miller, Tynan uses the money to stage Miller's murder. Horrified at what Tynan has done, Radenbaugh seeks out his daughter, whom he encounters as Collins is visiting her.

Radenbaugh's story

Radenbaugh then tells Collins about Page 1 of The R Document, explaining that Tynan had conceived the 35th Amendment by examining communities with low crime rates in hopes of recommending anti-crime legislation to Wadsworth and the Congress, and finding "company towns" to have the lowest crime rates, and Argo City, Arizona, owned by Argo Smelting And Mining, '''''where the Bill of Rights had been effectively suspended,''''' to have the best long-time record. Tynan's pilot program for the 35th, his test of it in action, consisted of his running a prototype safety committee in Argo City; the results of Tynan's experiment there, Radenbaugh explains, make up Page 1 of The R Document.

Argo City

Collins and Radenbaugh travel to Argo City along with John G. Maynard, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, who had sworn both Collins and Wadsworth into their respective offices. What they discover there leaves Maynard so horror-stricken that he plans to denounce the 35th. But Tynan has him killed before he can get the chance.

Smear campaign

To preserve his own job as FBI Director when Collins tries to get him dismissed after Maynard's murder, Tynan targets Collins's wife Karen, a mother to be about whose status as such few others know as the novel begins. Tynan first accuses Karen of a murder for which she had been prosecuted before she and Collins had first met. At her trial, whose prosecutor had been trying to make a name for himself, the deadlocked jury that had forced a mistrial had favored her acquittal eleven to one from the first minute of deliberations; the one holdout, who had once worked for Karen's father but been fired from his job, had been finding her father, not Karen herself, guilty, and had held out for four days before the others gave up on the case. When that apparently fails, Tynan alleges that Karen, who is actually shy when it comes to marital affections, has been a central participant in wild orgies.

FBI and IFBI

Collins, for his part, has encountered Pierce and the former FBI Special Agents Tynan had manhandled by threatening them with assignments of exile to Butte, Montana or Cincinnati, Ohio, which are described as Tynan's political prisons for Bureau personnel whom he wishes to punish, belittle, or humiliate. (The former Butte, Montana, FBI field office has been closed as needless since the publication of the novel, with the Salt Lake City, Utah field office having absorbed its former jurisdiction.) These former Special Agents have formed a group they call, unofficially, the IFBI, which stands for the '''''I'''''nvestigators of the '''''F'''''ederal '''''B'''''ureau of '''''I'''''nvestigation. During this, Collins discovers that Baxter's grandson Rick had accidentally caught the Tynan-Baxter conference in Baxter's house on tape the previous January, when Baxter had suffered his stroke. It contains Page 2 of The R Document, and as Adcock has been eavesdropping and has learned of it as well, he intercepts the original tape before destroying it before Collins's and Pierce's eyes. It is Karen who realizes that Ishmael Young may have a copy of Rick Baxter's tape, and she so informs her husband.

Exposure!

Young, seeking justice for having been forced to ghost-write Tynan's autobiography, does indeed prove to have the copy of Rick Baxter's tape, which is copied and authenticated. Collins then manages—barely in time—to reveal its contents to California legislators. As it proves, under Page 2 of The R Document, Tynan would actually personally '''''create''''' the national crisis that the 35th, once ratified, would need to be invoked by ordering the President of the United States assassinated, thereby giving the Attorney General grounds to suspend the Bill of Rights. Learning about this plot from Tynan had apparently been what had triggered Baxter's ultimately deadly stroke, and learning the contents of Page 2 of The R Document ends up striking the shocked legislators as a "Reichstag fire" that would make Tynan effectively the "Fuehrer of America." The 35th is unanimously defeated, and the Bill of Rights is saved. Tynan shoots himself in the mouth ("like Hitler," Collins remarks), and Adcock disappears ("like Bormann" is Collins's reaction). The novel ends with grounds for hope, as the President agrees to pardon the wrongly-convicted Radenbaugh, then forms a commission (including Collins and Pierce as members) to clean Tynan's evil influence out of the FBI and overhaul it; after that, he promises to discuss, with Collins, a comprehensive program of economic and social legislation which will be intended to solve the problem of crime, the original problem that had actually led Tynan to hatch his plot in the first place.

''Crusaders'' is set mainly in Newcastle upon Tyne in the year 1996, although there are scenes set in earlier years, and an epilogue set just before the 1997 General Election.

The principal character of the novel is the Reverend John Gore, a 31-year old Church of England vicar who returns to his native north-east in order to start a new church in the run-down (fictional) area of Hoxheath. Gore is a supporter of the Labour Party, although both his father and his sister, Susannah, a PR consultant, vote Conservative. Gore renews an acquaintanceship with Dr Martin Pallister, a former lecturer and left-wing firebrand who, encouraged by Susannah, has become an ambitious New Labour MP. Another old acquaintance is Simon Barlow, an evangelical vicar whose parish is in a more affluent part of Newcastle but who offers to help Gore.

After Gore makes an impression in the local media, Pallister offers him the chance to become involved in an urban regeneration scheme, but Gore is suspicious of the scheme and of Pallister's motives. Pallister begins to work with Barlow, who is evidently trying to discredit Gore.

Gore becomes the lover of Lindy Clark, a single mother from Hoxheath, and accepts the support of Steve Coulson, a local hard man and ‘security consultant’ who works for a dubious businessman by the name of Roy Caldwell. Prompted by Caldwell, Coulson carries out the shooting of two rival gangsters in a restaurant before hiding the murder weapon at Lindy's home. Gore is uneasy about Coulson, but discovers that Coulson is the father of Lindy's son, Jake, as well as her employer. Gore visits the club where Lindy works and becomes involved in an altercation with some of Coulson's associates, one of whom, Robbie, reveals to Gore that he is an undercover police officer.

Gore gives shelter to Mackers, a young assistant of Coulson who is suspected of talking to the police about the shootings. After spending the evening at Lindy's home, Gore is angered when she is summoned to the nightclub by Coulson. The couple argue, and Gore discovers the gun used by Coulson in the killings. Later, he confronts Robbie outside the club and tells Robbie he has important information about Coulson. Robbie is skeptical but gives Robbie a contact number.

Gore discovers that Lindy also works as a cleaner and receptionist at a massage parlour owned by Caldwell. He visits the premises and eventually persuades Lindy to leave but is confronted by Shack, one of Coulson's henchmen. Shack allows Gore and Lindy to leave, but contacts Coulson. At Lindy's, Gore relocates the gun and contacts Robbie. Coulson arrives and gives Gore a severe beating, but the house is attacked by a group of men, seemingly led by Shack, who stab Coulson to death – possibly on the orders of Caldwell. Robbie and the police arrive shortly afterwards, and Gore is taken to hospital.

Some time later, it transpires that Lindy loses custody of Jake, despite Gore pleading her case. Just before the 1997 General Election, Gore appears in Durham as a campaign manager for the Labour Party, having evidently lost his position in Hoxheath. He works alongside Pallister, who has maintained a relationship with Susannah.

It is the story of Cottontail, a small, brown mother bunny who aspires to be an Easter Bunny which, in this telling, is a highly competitive position for which only 5 bunnies are selected each year. She applies only to be scorned by the elite Easter bunnies, “big white bunnies who lived in fine houses” who tell her to “go back to the country and eat a carrot.”

She returns to the country where “by and by she had a husband and then one day, much to her surprise there were twenty-one Cottontail babies to take care of.” She brings them up exceedingly well, teaching them to be responsible, self-reliant and cooperative by requiring them to help in the vegetable garden and with the housework.

Then, she returns to the big city where she not only aces the Easter-bunny job interview, but becomes one of the most celebrated Easter bunnies of all time, admired for her heroism and the skills she learned rearing 21 little bunnies.

In 1954, nine years after the pacific war, Nick Lowell is the only non-Japanese inmate in an Osaka prison. Most of his fellow inmates are yakuza criminals, recognizable by their irezumi tattoos. Nick saves a yakuza named Kiyoshi from being hanged to death; the Shiromatsu, a yakuza clan to which Kiyoshi belongs, repays his debt by arranging Nick's release. He is also offered a job: Anthony Panetti, an American businessman with a deep hatred for the Japanese, has refused to negotiate a deal with the Shiromatsu but has agreed to a deal with a different clan, the Seizu, because they sent an American negotiator. Nick goes to speak with him, but ends up violently beating Panetti on the head with a typewriter just a minute into the conversation instead, assuring Kiyoshi that he'll reconsider.

When a group of Seizu clan members arrive from Kobe to intimidate the Shiromatsu at their nightclub, Nick attacks one of them, nearly causing a shootout. Kiyoshi takes a liking to Nick, giving him an expensive apartment to live in and a suit to wear. He further entrusts Nick with driving his drunk sister Miyu home after he catches her partying at the Shiromatsu club. Nick spends the night with her and slowly gets more involved with the Shiromatsu clan, becoming one of their enforcers alongside Kiyoshi. He continues his relationship with Miyu and gets an irezumi tattoo on his back to match hers.

The Shiromatsu come under pressure from rival yakuza families, largely due to the aging Shiromatsu patriarch's refusal to adapt to the rapidly changing post-war economy. Kiyoshi sends Nick to the harbor to handle a black market weapons deal, where he is ambushed by four Seizu members, killing two. To avoid a war with the Seizu and as an apology to their patriarch, Nick and Kiyoshi perform an act of yubitsume. The severed fingertips are sent to the Seizu patriarch, who accepts them. Nick is taken to a countryside temple, where he becomes a full member of the Shiromatsu through an initiation ceremony.

During a Sumo contest, the two families hold a meeting, with the Seizu patriarch offering his counterpart the chance to retire in peace by absorbing the Shiromatsu; the patriarch refuses and threatens him.

While walking home, Nick is recognized by Paulie Bowers, an American Marine on leave. Paulie remarks that Nick, his former captain, was presumed dead by the Marines after being sought for court-martial. When Paulie tries to blackmail Nick, he lures him back to his apartment and kills him.

Nick learns that Miyu was assaulted by her former lover Orochi, a fellow yakuza, but Miyu stops him from taking revenge by telling him that she is pregnant. Nick goes to Kiyoshi's home and reveals his relationship with his sister. Telling Nick that he is now responsible for keeping Miyu safe, Kiyoshi gives him a daishō, a pair of swords signifying honor. The two men then bury Bowers' body in the woods.

A few days later, Nick saves his patriarch from being strangled to death while at the tailor shop, but Kiyoshi is shot dead during their escape. It becomes clear that most of the Shiromatsu, including Orochi, have betrayed the clan and defected to the Seizu. Nick persuades the patriarch that war is the only option, and takes part in the assassination of several Seizu members. The Seizu patriarch calls for peace talks at the local harbor, which turn out to be a trap. Orochi kills the Shiromatsu patriarch, and Nick is wounded by a shot in the leg from a sniper. Shortly thereafter, police officers burn down the Shiromatsu club.

Undeterred, Nick travels to the Seizu clan dōjō with Kiyoshi's sword and demands an opportunity to kill Orochi. Orochi refuses to fight him, saying that Nick is only a ''gaijin'' (outsider) and could never truly be a yakuza. When Orochi hands him back his sword, Nick quickly draws it and cuts Orochi's throat. The Seizu patriarch intervenes and tells Nick to leave now that he has avenged his patriarch. Nick travels to a secure apartment where he has hidden Miyu under the guard of the few remaining Shiromatsu members. He embraces her as the yakuza bow reverently.

An aspiring Romanian filmmaker and actor obsessed with Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway tries to convince her to come to Romania and star alongside him in his upcoming film. He goes to shocking extremes using three local actresses to shoot demo scenes to send to Anne as proof of his filmmaking and acting skills.

Adrian explains that the film he is making is not, in reality, ''Be My Cat''. ''Be My Cat'' is a film he has written so Anne Hathaway can play the leading role. He states that his interest in Anne and making this film came from her portrayal of Catwoman in ''The Dark Knight Rises'', citing a love for cats.

The first actress that he uses as an example of his directorial style is a girl named Sonia, whose parents drop her off with Adrian at an abandoned house down the street from where he stays with his mother. Adrian begins shooting a scene with Sonia that doubles as a frustrating acting exercise. It becomes clear that ''Be My Cat'' is about a stalker obsessed with an actress, and the lines start to blur between Adrian as director and Adrian as the character. Increasingly frustrated and frightened, Sonia calls the police. After talking with her, Adrian explains to the police that it was a misunderstanding and convinces Sonia to shoot another scene at night. In the night scene the stalker uses chloroform to abduct the actress. In the second take, Adrian uses real chloroform and knocks Sonia out.

After taking her to his bedroom Adrian procures a cat suit. Before undressing her and putting the cat suit on her, Adrian explains to the camera (now personified as "Anne") that he would never do this in real life, and that it is only him in character. He also states that he is worthy of Anne in every way, betraying that his intentions for Anne may be more than artistic. Adrian stays the night beside the knocked out Sonia. When she wakes up frightened he insists that she must be sacrificed for her art. He chokes Sonia to death and hides her body in the basement.

While going to meet the second actress Adrian explains that he was bullied in the past, and due to this he dislikes boys and dogs for their meanness and likes girls and cats due to their sweetness and innocence. He also explains that the character in his film seeks to turn the actress character into a surrogate of his cat that he accidentally killed, and that this is based on how he accidentally killed his cat as a child. He ironically chances upon a dead cat on the side of the road.

Upon meeting the second actress Flory, Adrian is disappointed, as she had sent him pictures of herself when she was younger. Displeased with her age and weight, Adrian berates her. Flory offers him sexual favors in exchange to let her be in the movie, which disgusts Adrian. He tells Anne that he will not accept.

In the next scene Adrian has apparently allowed Flory to stay as they pick up the third actress, a young girl name Alexandra. Adrian asks Alexandra to wait upstairs and he performs surgery on Flory with a kitchen knife in the basement. Two neighbors come and investigate when they hear Flory's screams but Adrian assures them that they are filming a horror movie. Later that night, Adrian returns with a cat suit, having surgically thinned Flory, intending for her to wear it and be transformed. He is surprised to find her dead from blood loss. He acknowledges and enjoys that he has completely disappeared into his character and therefore can send Alexandra home, already having proved his abilities to Anne.

While Adrian is retrieving trash bags, Alexandra comes downstairs and finds Flory's body. Adrian finds himself faced with a dilemma, not wanting to kill Alexandra but knowing she will turn him in. She tries to talk him out of killing her and briefly tries to escape. Realizing she cannot escape, she continues to reason with Adrian. Adrian finds himself somewhat attracted to Alexandra due to her resemblance to Anne Hathaway, but tells Anne not to be jealous and that he only loves her. Alexandra uses this and tells him that he needs to go to Anne. Adrian says he cannot due to his fear of leaving his hometown. Alexandra says that to win her he must face his fear and go to her. She excites Adrian with the ideas of marrying and having children with Anne Hathaway. He decides that she is right and agrees to let her live, on the condition that she will wait in the basement and give him thirty minutes to escape and leave for Hollywood. Alexandra wishes him luck as he decides that he does not need to make a movie after all, since the movie was just a means to be with Anne. Overjoyed, he turns off the camera, leaving his and Alexandra's fates ambiguous.

María Sorté interprets two identical women (although not sisters) and of opposite personalities. María is an unsuccessful actress and pharmacy employee, who lives tormented by her husband, Rubén (David Ostrosky), a kidnapper and murderer who works for an organ trafficking network. Maria could never have children since the mistreatment of her husband caused an abortion that left her sterile. When he starts the soap opera, he tries to commit suicide.

Alejandra is a millionaire whose son, Matías (Rodrigo Vidal), urgently needs a kidney transplant. She herself is ill with terminal cancer, but she does not want her family to know about it and she is terrified by the idea of leaving Matías helpless.

In complicity with Sergio, his doctor (Leonardo Daniel), Alejandra appears before Maria and proposes that they exchange their lives. Thus, Maria could leave behind her life as a mistreated woman, take care of Alejandra's son and make sure she receives the transplant she requires. In addition, this would be the greatest triumph as an actress for María.

After many attempts to convince her, Maria accepts. During the first month of the telenovela broadcast, the two women prepare the exchange of lives; María, full of doubts, learns the details of Alejandra's life, as she announces to her family that she is going on a trip. Finally the identity change is made, and the false Maria (Alejandra) dies in the hospital to the surprise of her friends, (Macaria and Carmelita González), while the false Alejandra (María) returns to her house and finally meets Matías.

So far, the story had followed the original course, but with the sudden cancellation, a sudden ending was started that begins with the last scene of chapter 24. The secret of the false Alejandra is discovered immediately thanks to some recordings that the real Alejandra He left Matías. She left instructions that only listen to the cassette in case of emergency, if she one day decided to leave the house. Matías has a feeling and disobeys the instructions; when listening to the cassette he learns the truth, but without hesitation he decides to accept his "new mother" and offers to keep the secret. On the other hand, Sergio turns out to be deeply in love with María (he had also received a cassette recorded by the deceased). All the subplots and conflicts of the telenovela, which were clearly designed to last for months, are resolved in one of the most hasty endings of the history of this genre.

The year is 1979, and Janet Mandelbaum has just been given tenure in the English department at Harvard University. Although Janet is excited, many of her male colleagues seem to be dissatisfied with Janet's recent award. Soon after her award, Janet's old friend Kate Fansler comes to work at Harvard and is able to give support to her friend. While there, Kate encounters her old friend Moon Mandelbaum, Janet's ex-husband, and meets other professors in the English Department. Kate learns through her new colleagues that Janet is not fitting in well at the university. In fact, many people find Janet too strange and unlikable.

After an incident when Janet was found in a bathtub, presumably drunk, Janet becomes embarrassed and both Moon and Kate notice the change in her mood. As her friend, Kate hopes that this situation does not harm Janet's credibility at the university, although she finds that many of the professors no longer care for Janet. Although Kate defends Janet, it is no use. Many people ridicule Janet and seem to have no desire to get to know her better.

One day while Kate is in her office, she receives a phone call from Professor Clarkville (another member of the English department). Clarkville explains to Kate that he has found Janet dead in the men's restroom. Immediately the question is "Was Janet killed by a fellow professor"? Kate seems skeptical of this idea because she knew that other than not being liked, no one had anything to gain from Janet's death. Kate decides that she is going to investigate this peculiar death. One of the first few pieces she learns is that Janet death was caused from cyanide and Janet's body was moved to the men's restroom after her death; but where and when she actually died is still a mystery to Kate and the police.

Kate then visits Professor Clarkville to further discuss the situation. To her surprise, Clarkville explains that he did not know of Janet much before finding her in the men's restroom. He also says that he did not think that Janet should have come to Harvard. Immediately Kate becomes very leery of Clarkville and his confessions to Kate.

Back at her office, Kate is contemplating all the different circumstances surrounding Janet's death. While she is working, she receives a phone call from Moon. Moon tells Kate he is in jail under the charges of murder for Janet's death, but assures Kate he is not responsible for what happened. Moon reveals that he did have possession of cyanide long ago, but tells Kate that it is locked away in a safe back in Minneapolis.

Kate now has three suspects for Janet's death: Clarkville, Moon, and Luellen May (a fellow professor who found Janet passed out in the bathtub at a party). After a visit from Janet's brother and a tour of Janet's old apartment, Kate begins to put some ideas together about what really happened to Janet. Kate then visits with Clarkville once more to discuss his finding of Janet's body. In the meeting, Clarkville explains that the last time anyone had seen Janet alive was in the department meeting. During the meeting, Janet had become hysterical about an issue that caused a lot of tension in the room. Kate then gets Clarkville to admit to moving Janet's body to the men's room for her to be 'discovered'. Clarkville explains that he had originally found Janet in the chairman's office dead and decided to move her to a restroom (the men's room was the closest) and reported finding her there. Kate then is granted access to Janet's office at the university and finds a poem that she believes is the biggest clue to Janet's death.

Kate finally proposes to Moon's lawyer, John Cunningham, that Janet's death was a suicide over a dinner at the Locke-Ober restaurant. Kate reveals that Janet stole the cyanide from Moon and after the amount of stress and tension Janet had endured at the university, she decided to end her own life.

On the An-Nafud Desert, Saudi Arabia, Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) retrieves the Horn of Joshua, a Hand of God, from a man who sold his soul. He kills him and escapes back to America where he offers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) a deal: he'll give them the Horn if they retrieve Lucifer from Castiel's (Misha Collins) body and send him back to the cage.

Rowena (Ruth Connell) tends to Amara's (Emily Swallow) wounds. It turns out Rowena cast a spell before Lucifer snapped her neck to survive. Meanwhile, Lucifer arrives at Heaven to hold a meeting with the angels, proposing to lock away The Darkness as long as they let him stay in Heaven. With her power restored, Amara sends a vocal attack into Heaven, provoking Rowena to leave her and return with the Winchesters and Crowley.

Sam, Dean, Crowley and Rowena invoke Lucifer. They use a spell to communicate with Castiel, but Lucifer manages to regain control of the body. Crowley escapes and gets inside Lucifer's mind to talk to Castiel, but he refuses to expel Lucifer until the battle is over. Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) arrives and attacks Crowley. Sam exorcises Castiel's body which frees Crowley. Rowena and Crowley then escape as Amara arrives. Amara confronts Lucifer and he tries to attack her with the Horn but fails. Amara then takes Lucifer with her.

Sam and Dean then discuss their next move with Lucifer, theorizing that since Lucifer had fallen he couldn't use a Hand of God's full power. Amara decides to torture Lucifer as a way to torment God and the episode ends as she uses her powers to torture Lucifer, who screams in agony.

Rusty is lost and injured after performing a good deed

Rusty pulls the mailbox string, clamps his jaws around the letter inside and brings it into the kitchen where city legal official Hugh Mitchell is instructing his teenage son Danny on baking four rainbow trout. The burned fish wind up being offered to Rusty who also turns away from such a meal. Mrs. Mitchell returns from a trip to Chicago with a present for Rusty's upcoming birthday — a new collar. She also brings a pipe for Hugh and a briefcase for Danny who is about to start his junior year in high school. She also gives him a brochure for "Rowan - Lee Military Academy / a College Preparatory School for Young Men". Meanwhile, Rusty takes his other present, a small ball and exits into the backyard where he confronts a vagrant who then throws a wrench at him and runs to a gas station, just as a middle-aged woman drops her purse before getting into a car with her husband. As she realizes that the purse which, she tells him, contains her rings and nearly 200 dollars, is missing, Rusty is spotted running after the car to return it. As the grateful woman kisses Rusty, the vagrant who was following Rusty and the purse, steps out to claim that Rusty is his dog but, due to circumstances, would be willing to sell him. The woman gives him 25 dollars and asks the dog's name. The vagrant, already some distance away, shouts over his shoulder, "Jackpot".

Attorney Mitchell telephones to place a newspaper ad regarding Rusty's disappearance, while Danny and his four friends from the neighborhood return after an unsuccessful search. Meanwhile, as the couple who "bought" Rusty stop their car, which is pulling a trailer, Rusty runs out of the trailer and starts for home. While searching for food in the harsh countryside, he injures his paw and becomes trapped in coiled wire. A young boy named Jeff Neeley, pulling a stuffed toy dog on a string, rescues Rusty, taking him to be the personification of his imaginary dog friend "Gladly" and leads him to the campsite where his older brother Bill and unemployed sharecropper father Virgil, sitting alongside a small dilapidated truck, are cooking food from their meager supply. The Neeleys determine that because Rusty, who has no license, is limping, with one paw held in the air, they will allow him to travel with them at least until he recovers.

Rusty returns with a new family

As Danny and the four boys walk through town, they run into Miss Simmons, who runs the local employment agency and offers to add 5 dollars as her share of the reward offered for finding Rusty, just as Virgil approaches to ask her about job availability for a day laborer. Moments later, Danny and the boys spot Bill and Jeff who are sitting at the curb, next to the truck, examining Rusty's paw. During the confrontation, Jeff calls Rusty "my dog" and Danny retorts, "in a pig's eye… stealing doesn't make him yours". The next moment a motorcycle policeman arrives and takes the Neeleys, including Virgil, who has just returned from his job search, into the city's holding pen to confirm Virgil's lost registration paper for his truck. While his father and older brother are in brief detention, young Jeff is brought home for dinner by attending attorney Mitchell and, as the little boy tearfully reunites with his beloved "Gladly", Danny becomes jealous of the affection between Rusty and Jeff as well as the attention his own parents are lavishing on the boy, especially upon hearing the lullaby his mother was singing while putting Jeff to bed.

The next morning, Virgil arrives to pick up Jeff and start off on a new job search. Attorney Mitchell invites him for breakfast and presents the family an opportunity to farm a piece of property the Mitchells own nearby, while also offering to let Jeff continue to live in the house and start school. Carrie Simmons also arrives to tell Virgil that she found another job for him. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Danny tells his mother that he has decided to attend the military academy, after all.

Later, as Bill is helping Virgil repair the cabin that will be their new living place, Miss Simmons arrives with a freshly baked pie. Bill resents "all these women trying to run us", but Virgil explains that his late mother said that "you've got to know how to receive as well as how to give". As Bill goes back to work, Virgil worriedly touches his stomach. Shortly thereafter, Bill hurriedly drives to the Mitchells' house and, with no one answering the front door, runs to the back, breaks a glass panel on the kitchen door and starts to gather ice from the freezer. Just then, Danny and his friends return, with Danny, egged on by his friends, accuses Bill of breaking in, and punches him, making Bill fall unconscious after hitting his head. As Mrs. Mitchell arrives, Bill revives and explains that his father had an appendicitis attack and needs emergency help. As calls are placed to the doctor and the hospital, everyone else leaves, but Danny remains in the house and sees a police car arrive holding the same vagrant who was chased away from the house by Rusty. Jack Wiggins, the gas station owner/attendant, explains to a gathering of locals that "…when I got back, I found this character looting the cash register". The vagrant is brought into the Mitchell house where a confrontation with Rusty makes him blurt out that he didn't steal the dog, but only sold him.

Danny regrets his uncharitable behavior

Upon hearing the story, Danny goes with Rusty to the cabin and apologizes to Bill, explaining that it should have been obvious that Rusty would have never befriended thieves and that he should have trusted Rusty's instincts. He sits down and has a heart-to-heart talk with Bill about personal feelings and the meaning of home. He invites Bill to live with the Mitchells, but Bill says that he has to go the hospital to check on his father. They leave together with Rusty. Later, as the Mitchells discuss Danny's behavior, he returns home and tells them that "Bill is a great guy" and "how wonderful it is to have a permanent address". He goes upstairs and leaves Rusty in Jeff's room. Later that night, Bill arrives with the news that his father's appendix had burst and that he is calling for Jeff to be at his bedside. Running upstairs, Danny discovers that Jeff and Rusty are gone. The Mitchells leave for the hospital, while the two boys look for Jeff. It turns out that Jeff and Rusty went to the cabin to spend the night. In the morning, Miss Simmons arrives with warm cinnamon rolls. She tells Jeff that she also pretends, but in her case, that she has a little boy, just like him. He tells her that he dreams of his real mother singing to him, because his pretend mother can't sing. Miss Simmons then cuddles him in her lap and sings to him "Beautiful Dreamer". Danny and Bill arrive at the cabin and tell Miss Simmons that Virgil is very ill. Jeff awakens and thinks that Danny came to take "Gladly" away, but Danny tells him that "Gladly" is now Jeff's dog. Later, Bill returns with the happy news that their father is better and Jeff, looking at Miss Simmons, tell him that "she can sing just like everything".

Rusty's offspring becomes the new "Gladly"

As the Mitchells came home from the hospital with the news that Virgil Neeley is out of danger, Danny offers to give up Rusty so that Jeff can have his "Gladly" and live with the Mitchells while he is at military school, his parents tell him that there is no need for any of that, since Jeff will be happy with his father and Miss Simmons, to whom "he's transferred his heart… lock, stock and barrel". Also, news from the local farm is that Rusty is a father again and one of his pups will make a perfect new "Gladly" for Jeff. It all ends with a birthday party for Rusty as Jeff hugs his new little Gladly and Mrs. Mitchell cuts Rusty's birthday cake.
