Nick sees that the driver is a Wesen, a Geier, before the driver dies. The DNA from the blood matches Steven's, while that from the organs does not; they suspect the organs are from other street kids.

It tells the story of Judas Iscariot (Rafael Rivelles) with the famous kiss of him betraying Jesus to the Romans in exchange for a few coins. The magazines of the time rapturously described the spectacular nature of El beso de Judas, rarely seen before in Spanish cinema, not even in Alba de América, by Juan de Orduña, which in the end had been shot with severe budget cuts. Eighty-two sets, exteriors shot in the Holy Land (Rafael Gil moved there with a film crew in the summer of 1953 and the images would later be used in long shots or on transparencies of the film), a brilliant cast and – above all – An interesting plot idea characterized El beso de Judas: narrating the story of Jesus from the point of view of Judas. The journalist Barreira ended one of his reports by pointing out: "Never was such a gigantic film presented in Spain, a display of presentation as was required in this one, dealing with the exalted theme of the crucifixion of Christ."
The idea of telling the drama of Judas (which had already been dealt with in El Judas, directed in 1952 by Ignacio F. Iquino, albeit in the form of the actors of a living Passion that is performed in a town in Catalonia) goes back in the summer of 1952. Escrivá presented the project to United Artists, which received it enthusiastically, guaranteeing optimal distribution in numerous American countries. With this guarantee, no expense was spared when it came to structuring spectacular scenes inspired by the American model of the great Cecil B. De Mille (although the black and white of The Kiss of Judas has aesthetic, and even dramatic, concomitance with the version of the life of Christ that Julien Duvivier had filmed in 1935 with his Golgotha).
Enrique Alarcón in artistic direction and Alfredo Fraile in photography, both regular collaborators with Gil, achieved one of their best works in a production that also featured Cristóbal Halffter in the solemn and adjusted music that accompanied the images, and in the montage with José Antonio Rojo, another frequent collaborator of the director whose work is living history of Spanish cinema.

Wong) is preparing to detonate a bomb that would destroy Indian Hill labs and also tells Ms. Peabody (Tonya Pinkins) to transfer the patients to another upstate facility.

Everyone soon discovers that Strange plans on detonating the labs who is wounded in the crossfire between Victor and Bridgit.
Strange regains consciousness and is desperate to get out before the bomb explodes and the small chance that radioactive cloud may spread over Gotham. They use Nygma to deactivate the security elevator so Gordon and Lucius reach the basement to deactivate the bomb. When Ms. Peabody utters "water", they pour water in the bomb, causing it to overload and stop. A bus driven by Mooney escapes through the prison gates as the police arrive. The police begin a chase for her around Gotham when Cobblepot, Butch and their gang appear and Butch uses a minigun to take down the bus, confusing the driver for Strange. They're in shock when they find Mooney alive, causing Cobblepot to faint; Butch and his gang flee.
In the aftermath of the bomb threat, Strange is arrested. Gordon tells Bruce that he has to leave to find Lee while Bruce tells Alfred about the secret council that secretly rule Gotham from the shadows. Gordon tells Bullock that he has to take charge of the GCPD and Gotham now that new threats have emerged and speeds off in Bullock's car.

Virgil Hathaway, a Penobscot Indian shopkeeper in Gahato, New York, receives an odd visitor, Charlie Catfish of the Senecas.

The Russian Navy's Northern Fleet begins an exercise in the Barents Sea. The fleet deployed includes Kursk, an Oscar-class submarine. At sea, weapons officer Pavel reports that the interior temperature of a HTP torpedo is increasing rapidly, indicating a potential hydrogen peroxide leak. The captain however ignores Pavel's concerns and moments later the torpedo prematurely explodes, killing the weapons room crew. A secondary explosion of the remaining torpedoes rips a hole through the submarine's forward hull, sending the ship to the sea bed.
The surviving crew members rally at the aft-most compartment, now rapidly taking on water. The crew desperately await rescue, while on dry land the sailor's wives begin to hear rumours regarding the submarine. Royal Navy Commodore David Russell detects the seismic events and deduces that Kursk has had an accident. Admiral Grudzinsky, commander of the Northern Fleet, initially believes there are no survivors, but once tapping is heard through the hull of the submarine, the Russians immediately deploy a rescue submersible. The old and poorly maintained craft can not form a seal on the Kursk's hull, and is forced to return to the surface and wait for a 12-hour battery recharge.
Meanwhile, the survivors begin to run low on air, requiring two crew members to swim into a flooded compartment to retrieve oxygen cartridges. Another rescue attempt is made, but the submersible again cannot form a seal on the hull. On land, the sailors' families, wives and friends grow resentful of the repeated stone-walling by the Russian Admiralty, who also reject foreign offers of help in fear of exposing Russian naval secrets. Despite this, Admiral Grudzinsky accepts an earlier offer from Russell, but Grudzinsky is relieved of command shortly afterwards. The Russian Navy orders Russell, along with British and Norwegian divers, not to approach the Kursk. A third Russian attempt to rescue the survivors is made, but again the Russian submersible still cannot force a seal, and the Russians ultimately and finally agree to foreign assistance.
Aboard the Kursk, the crew in an attempt to raise morale, enjoy a "breakfast buffet", during which a crew member accidentally knocks an oxygen cartridge into the water, causing a flash fire that consumes the remaining oxygen. With minutes of breathable air, the crew say their goodbyes whilst singing "The Sailor's Band". Russell's divers arrive too late at the submarine, finding the entire hull flooded and the crew dead. At the funeral, Misha, son of one of the sailors on board, refuses to shake Admiral Petrenko's hand. A land-based member of the crew gives Misha his father's maritime watch, who had earlier sold it to pay for a champagne for a wedding.
The plot starts with Gertrude falling into Fairyland as a six-year-old. She spends 27 years looking for a key to escape with her assigned insect guide Larrigton Weighston III, or Larry for short, but never ages, resulting in her becoming a violent sociopath. After terrorizing Fairyland, Queen Cloudia, the secretly evil ruler of Fairyland, sends after Gertrude many 'villains', such as a witch named Horribella. With each attempt ending in failure, Queen Cloudia then decides to kill her personally. She consults the Fairyland Council and they devise a plan to rid of Gertrude. As the Queen cannot directly harm any guests, Cloudia invites another child, Happy, into Fairyland, to make Gertude a citizen of Fairyland. Gertude confronts Happy and shortly tries to kill her, but is easily defeated by Happy. After Gertrude recovers, she visits Queen Cloudia and asks her what is going on. Cloudia tells her she's too late, and admits she helped Happy on her quest to find the key. Sometime after, Happy does find the key. Annoyed by this, Gertrude finds Darketh Deaddeath, who she asks to help her defeat Happy. He agrees to help her, only if she proves herself. She survives his dungeon, and insults him. He then decides to help her and gives her his dark magic powers. Happy almost uses the key to exit Fairyland, but then a super-powered Gertrude stops her in her tracks. After a brief battle, Gertrude defeats Happy and then kills Cloudia. Before Gertrude can return home, Larry informs her that killing the Queen makes her the Queen herself, resulting in her unhappily taking the throne.
After a disastrous year as Fairyland's "evil queen", Gertrude is impeached and resumes looking for a way home. While meeting with Pervis Peddlesteal, an anthropomorphic rat who collects artefacts from Earth, she encounters Duncan, a human boy dressed in a dragon Halloween costume recently arrived in Fairyland. Duncan joins Gertrude on her travels, however, she willingly abandons him in the Tower of Battle, a gigantic arcade machine populated by powerful fighters. One hundred years later, Duncan has become an actual giant dragon and lays waste to Fairyland, killing all but a small handful of survivors, including Gertrude and Larry. Using the last remaining magic in Fairyland, Larry transports Gertrude back in time to the present of the series to warn her younger self away from the decisions that lead to the destruction of Fairyland. The older Gertrude gives her younger self step-by-step instructions to avert the apocalypse, but wearily notes that she has not listened to any of them, fading from existence as her younger self rushes into the first of many disasters.
After beating up Kamau Kogo on Bitch Planet and learning how to traverse the Image Universe to return home, Gertrude kills versions of Rick Grimes and Coach Euless Boss before following the Paper Girls into Image City. After being led to the god-run nightclub Wic + Div by Tony Chu, Gertrude sets off a battle royale between the various superheroes and villains within, stealing their weaponry in the process, before seeking out the aid of Spawn to give her access to the Image Central building. After killing everyone in the building and confronting the founders of Image Comics, Gertrude demands to be allowed to go home, killing them all as a show of force before realising she needed one of them alive to return home. Dejected, Gertrude returns to Fairyland with Larry.
Gertrude meets Maddie, a denizen of Fairyland and her self-proclaimed "biggest fan", who idolises Gertude for the violence and death she has spread. Although initially happy to take Maddie on as a protege, Gertrude quickly becomes sick of her, and realizes that she does not like the person she has become. She murders Maddie and resolves to become a better person. Despite her best intentions, Gertrude repeatedly fails to do good, leaving just as much death and destruction in her wake. However, Larry tells her of a mysterious labyrinth which could hold the secret to helping her become good, and concedes that, as miserable as his life with Gertrude has been, it probably would have been even worse had they never met. When they reach the labyrinth, its master, Loveth Lovelord, makes Gertrude a deal; if she can reach the center of the labyrinth before the next "Lover's Moon" and find the "Balls of Redemption", all the evil will be purged from her being, if she fails, she must become his wife. Gertrude manages to find the centre of the labyrinth, and Loveth unleashes the beast that guards the Balls, which turns out to be Duncan. Despite Duncan demonstrating the newly acquired draconic powers of flight and fire breathing, Gertrude easily defeats him and touches the Balls of Redemption, becoming a perfectly good and sweet child similar to Happy. The newly good Gertrude makes quick progress in her quest, prompting Horribella to hire the deadliest assassins in Fairyland to stop her on behalf of an unseen "Ruler of All That is Dark". Gertrude finds her key and heads back to the centre of Fairyland to finally leave. Horribella's assassins attack her, but all inexplicably miss her when they throw their weapons. Gertude picks up a lollipop and skips towards the door, but trips and falls at the last moment, causing the lollipop to penetrate her brain, killing her instantly. As Larry quietly mourns her death, Gertude descends into Hell, with the effects of the Balls reversed. Upon arriving in Hell, she is met by the "Ruler of All That Is Dark" – Happy.
The ruler of Hell is revealed not to be Happy, but a shapeshifting demon named Bill assuming her form. After failing to torment Gertrude with a twisted version of her home, he condemns her to an eternity of repeating her quest. Meanwhile, Horribella calls Bill and demands Queen Cloudia's bones, her payment for engineering Gertrude's death. Bill has the bones delivered to her by Duncan, who has become a postal courier. Horribella, planning to bring about the end of Fairyland, resurrects Cloudia as a powerful undead being who kills her and goes on a destructive rampage. Realising that Gertrude is the only one who can defeat "Dark Cloudia", Duncan and Larry confront the Fairyland Council and tell them that they must resurrect Gertrude to save Fairyland. The Council initially refuse, citing the rules of Fairyland, but Duncan retorts that the rules, and the council, are directly responsible for the crisis, and that by kidnapping children like him and Gertrude, they have abdicated any moral authority. One of the Council member concedes that Duncan is correct, and orders Bill to deliver the pocket dimension containing Gertrude's Hell to the council chamber. Duncan and Larry enter Hell and inform Gertrude about Dark Cloudia; subsequently, Gertrude agrees to kill Cloudia again. When returned to Fairyland she attempts to renege on the deal and demands to return to Hell when she realizes that her actions would serve the council's purpose. The Council nevertheless promises to return Gertrude home if she succeeds, and forcibly empowers her with their combined magic. Meanwhile, Dark Cloudia destroys the army of King Cone, the new Fairyland king, who tried to stop her wave of destruction in vain. Before the villain could slay the king, however, Gertrude appears and attacks her with her new magical powers, depowering Dark Cloudia and beating her up. Although Gertrude almost kills Cloudia again, Larry reminds her that the Council never specified that Cloudia has to die in their request, and Gertrude decides to follow his advice for once and gives the defeated villain to King Cone in order to be imprisoned for her crimes. The Council then appears, angry because Gertrude didn't kill Cloudia (despite the fact that she technically fulfilled their request) and threatening to exile her to a remote place in Fairyland, until Gertrude reminds them that she still has their combined magic inside her and would use it to kill them unless they honor their part of the deal, and the fearful Council quickly sends her back home, much to Larry's sorrow. Back on Earth, Gertrude, now an adult woman in her thirties, finds herself employed as a clerk in a television station, ironically frustrated by her mundane job and looking for a way to return. However, she abandons her search and ruefully curses Fairyland one last time before getting back to work, determined to face her lot in life.
The film begins in a diner where Peter Parker and a female friend, Susan, are talking. Susan sees a basketball player from their high school, Roy Robinson, whom she says she likes. Peter gets upset at this and starts saying bad things about him, and Susan storms off. Peter begins to daydream about by Susan, and becoming better than Robinson. He decides to go to his gym coach to get on the school basketball team to impress to Susan, figuring his secret spider-like powers will make him a star player, but the coach refuses to give him a tryout, saying the team roster is full but offering Peter the role of waterboy.
Later that night, two criminals breaks into Robinson house and kidnaps him while he sleeps. Meanwhile, at the Daily Bugle, Peter overhears a conversation between J. Jonah Jameson and Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) where he tells Jameson to come to him, Peter dons his Spider-Man suit and swings to the Kingpin's office.
Kingpin threatens Jameson, that if he doesn't retract what he writes in his papers Robinson will be killed. Spider-Man then beats up the criminals who kidnaped Robinson but gets knocked out by the Kingpin. When he awakens he defeats the Kingpin, who triggers a time-bomb attached to Robinson in the Acme Warehouse across town. Spider-Man chooses to let the Kingpin escape in order to race to save Robinson from the bomb, then bring him to his basketball match. Robinson thanks Spider-Man but says that his arms are too numb from captivity to shoot the ball properly, so Spider-Man decides to help him out by discreetly firing his webbing at Robinson's final three-point shot to propel it into the net. Robinson's victory impresses Susan and she goes out with him, while Peter is berated by the basketball coach for seemingly not attending the game and missing his school's big win.
Peter later contemplates his bad luck, despite the fact that when he is Spider-Man he's a great hero.

By 1998, Rachel is a sophomore at Columbine High School; she becomes rebellious and begins sneaking out to hang out with her friends, Madison, Gabby, and Celine. During the summer, Rachel's mother sends her to her cousins in Louisiana, where her spirituality grows. The next year, on the first day of school, Rachel witnesses the jocks picking on Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Eric then threatens to harm them.
Later that year, Rachel begins to get involved with the head of the drama club, Alex Dickerson, and during a rehearsal, the two kiss. Later on, at a breakthrough meeting, Rachel meets Nathan Ballard, a homeless youth whose mother is a heroin addict. With Rachel's help, Nathan is able to be put up at another kid's house. Nathan is grateful.
One day, Rachel's stepfather, Larry, finds a beer bottle from a party in the car, and Rachel loses her right to the car, becoming rebellious again. At the first performance of the school play, Nathan arrives and begins to fight with Alex, embarrassing Rachel. At a party that night, Rachel discovers Alex cheating on her with Madison. She then begins to be bullied more often by others and even considers suicide at one point. However, with Nathan's encouragement, Rachel turns back to her faith and inspires other Christian students to not give up hope, despite being bullied.

In "Dead God's Homecoming", chaos beings kidnap Elric of Melniboné's wife, Zarozinia, spurring Elric into fateful actions and the recovery of Stormbringer, the demon-sword that dominates his destiny. Meanwhile, Jagreen Lern, theocrat of Pan Tang, forms an alliance with Sarosto, ruler of Dharijor, and the Dukes of Hell to take over the world. They win a decisive victory at Sequa. One of the Nihrain, servants of Balance, named Sepiriz, contacts Elric and Dyvim Slorm, owner of Stormbringer's brother sword, Mournblade. He tells them that the person who took Zarozinia is a resurrected god named Darnizhaan. Darnizhaan killed himself years ago from fear of the Black Swords, which are now the only things he will take in return for Zarozinia. Elric, Dyvim Slorm, and Elric's companion, Moonglum journey to Darnizhaan. There they are warned that Jagreen Lern's alliance with Sarosto will be the end of the Young Kingdoms. Elric and Slorm hand over the Black Swords in exchange for Zarozinia. Immediately after, they chant a rune spell Sepiriz taught them, which makes the swords come alive and kill Darnizhaan.
Later, in "Black Sword's Brothers", Elric tries to unite the kingdoms of the East and the South against Jagreen Lern, who has recently assassinated Sarosto. When this fails, Moonglum and he sail east towards the Sorceror's Isle, only for their boat to be caught in a storm and forced against the Serpent's Teeth. Stranded in Jagreen Lern's kingdom, Elric and Moonglum encounter Sepiriz again. He tells them that, with the help of a certain spell, Stormbringer can call its many companion swords, brothers like Mournblade, to fight for it. With this new information, Elric and Moonglum journey to Pan Tang, Lern's island, where Elric fights the Dukes of Hell. Upon calling Stormbringer's brothers, the Dukes are killed and sent back to the Chaos realm eternally. Stormbringer leaves him as well, taking away his strength and allowing Jagreen Lern to capture him. Lern takes Moonglum and Elric to watch the ensuing battle with the Southern kingdoms. Though the Southern Kingdoms lose, Elric is able to call Stormbringer back to him and rescue Moonglum.
Immediately after, in "Sad Giant's Shield", Elric and Moonglum go to the unconquered Isle of the Purple Towns. There they amass an army to fight Jagreen Lern. Sepiriz arrives, telling Elric about a giant named Mordaga who bears the Chaos Shield, a device capable of blocking Lern's chaos magic. Elric ignores Sepiriz' judgment, instead trying to beat Lern at the Purple Towns in a battle. He fails, largely due to several Chaos Ships commanded by an octopus demon named Pyaray. Elric and Moonglum are saved from drowning by Straasha, Lord of the Sea. They reconcile with Dyvim Slorm and the archer Rackhir the Red, and all of them embark toward the Sighing Desert in search of Mordaga. At Mordaga's castle, they fight several warriors, and Elric accidentally kills Rackhir. Mordaga surrenders and gives Elric the chaos shield. Moonglum stabs him in the back. The three remaining men go south again to find that all of the Young Kingdoms have been conquered by Jagreen Lern. Also, Zarozinia has been captured again, this time by Lern. Elric goes alone to save her, entering the Camp of Chaos where he kills Pyaray. He is too late; Zarozinia already has been transformed into a giant worm who commits suicide on Stormbringer. With the Chaos Ships destroyed by Pyaray's death, Elric leaves the Camp of Chaos and makes way for Melniboné with Moonglum and Dyvim Slorm.
During "Doomed Lord's Passing," Elric and his friends reach Melniboné, where they try to awaken several dragons. In a dream, Elric meets Sepiriz again, who takes him to the White Lords, rulers of Law. One of them, Donblas, tells Elric that the only way to bring the White Lords to his realm and stop Chaos is to blow the Horn of Fate, Olifant, three times. Olifant has the ability to, with one blast, awaken the dragons, with two blasts, herald the coming of the White Lords, and, with three blasts, end the world. Elric goes to the Tower of B'aal'nezbett in Imrryr with the Chaos Shield and enters another realm resembling England. There he meets a dwarf named Jermays, messenger of the gods, who tells him Olifant is at the grave of a dead warrior, Roland. Elric goes to the grave, but when he takes the horn from Roland's neck, he comes alive. They fight, and Elric barely wins before leaving the realm with Jermays. Back in Melniboné, he blows Olifant and awakens the dragons which he then rides, along with Dyvim Slorm and Moonglum, to the Camp of Chaos. A battle erupts, and Elric kills a Duke of Hell named Xiombarg. Dyvim Slorm dies. He then blows Olifant for the second time, ushering in the White Lords. Elric duels Jagreen Lern and bests him. Instead of killing him with Stormbringer, he tortures him for an hour, in the manner of his ancestors, before finishing him off at Moonglum's request. Eventually, Law wins the battle, and the entirety of the Young Kingdoms is changed into a new world, Earth. Sepiriz tells the last humans, Moonglum and Elric, that the only remaining thing to do is blow the Horn of Fate a third time. Elric however does not have the energy, so he is forced to kill Moonglum with Stormbringer, at which point he blows Olifant. The old world ends, and as it does, Stormbringer kills Elric, before flying into the air laughing, the last remnant of Chaos in the new world.
A man's life is altered unexpectedly after telling a lie to get out of work.
Ali (Osamah Sami), the charming and musically-talented son of an Iraqi Shia cleric (Don Hany), struggles to make the right life choices despite the best of intentions. He wants to be with the girl, Dianne (Helana Sawires), he loves, but he's been promised to another girl at his father's mosque. He wants to be the great doctor that the community expects him to be, but he doesn't get the marks. Above all, he wants to make his father proud.
To live up to these impossible expectations, he lies about his academic achievements, and then his quest to please his father spirals out of control, with amusing and poignant consequences.
Dean (Jensen Ackles) checks on Lucifer (Misha Collins), discovering that Castiel is in possession of his body again. Sam (Jared Padalecki) then checks on God (Rob Benedict), who is severely wounded. Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) and Rowena (Ruth Connell) appear where they take them outside to discover that the sky is turning red as the sun is dying.
God transports them back to the bunker, where Dean decides to spend the last moments drinking beer. In London, Lady Antonia "Toni" Bevell (Elizabeth Blackmore) is notified by someone about the recent events, where she is revealed to have been looking for Sam and Dean. Back in the bunker, Sam proposes that they kill Amara (Emily Swallow) as the only way to bring balance to the universe as God is dying. God reveals that a powerful supernova may be enough to kill her. As He's dying and the Book of the Damned can't cast a spell like that, Castiel proposes that the souls of humans may be enough to make it happen. They also use ghosts from the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, pulling them into a crystal to form a bomb.
As the group tries to find enough souls for their bomb, the reaper Billie arrives and offers her help. Billie is able to get them hundreds of thousands of souls by raiding the veil between life and death which Rowena then places into Dean. After visiting his mother's grave, Dean makes amends with everyone and the weakening God teleports him to an enclosed park where Amara is. Amara reveals she knows about Dean's bomb, but also expresses regret over her actions as angry or not, she still loves her brother. Rather than killing Amara, Dean convinces her that revenge isn't worth it and no matter how angry you get at them, you still love family. Amara brings God to the scene and admits she was jealous when he made Creation and she wasn't all there was to him anymore. Admitting that God has created something truly beautiful, Amara asks for her brother back. God and Amara forgive each other and Amara heals God's injuries, saving him and the universe while Sam and the others believe Dean killed Amara.
God and Amara then disappear, planning on spending time together. Before departing, Amara tells Dean he gave her what she wanted most, her brother back, so she'll do the same for him. Sam and Castiel go to the bunker where Toni is revealed to be inside and banishes Castiel. She holds Sam at gunpoint, stating that she's from the London chapter of the Men of Letters and they sent her to retrieve Sam and Dean for punishment for their previous altercations about the Leviathans, Lucifer and the Darkness. When Sam tries to talk her down, she shoots him and he collapses. Meanwhile, Dean tries to find his way back to civilization and discovers Amara's gift to him: a confused and resurrected Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith).
Will Sawyer, a Marine veteran turned FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader, loses his left leg below the knee when he and HRT colleague Ben Gillespie encounter a hostage taker with a suicide bomb.
Ten years later, Sawyer is a private security consultant who, on a recommendation from Gillespie, is hired to review security for the world’s tallest skyscraper, Hong Kong’s 3,500 feet (1,060 meter), 225 floor tower, "The Pearl", for owner Zhao Long Ji. Sawyer is joined by his wife, Sarah, and twin children, Georgia and Henry, staying with him on the not-yet-opened residential floors. Sawyer meets with Zhao, Gillespie, security director Okeke and head insurance underwriter Pierce, to report that the computerized fire and security systems have passed his tests, though he needs to inspect the offsite security center. Zhao provides him with a tablet that gives Sawyer complete control over the Pearl’s systems. Sawyer and Gillespie head to the offsite facility, but a thief hired by international terrorist Kores Botha attempts to steal the tablet. Gillespie reveals he is also working for Botha and attacks Sawyer for the tablet, ending with Gillespie’s death.
Botha and a group of his men break into the Pearl and undermine the safety systems by using a water-reactive chemical to start a fire on the 96th floor, creating a barrier that renders it impossible to enter to or exit from the upper 130 floors. Sawyer tries to return to the Pearl, but is attacked by Xia, one of Botha's associates. Xia and her agents take the tablet and kill everyone at the offsite facility. They then use the tablet to disable the fire-extinguishing systems in the Pearl and activate the air vents to spread the fire to the upper floors. Zhao and Okeke send security guards to rescue Sawyer's family, but the guards are killed by an explosion and the family is believed dead. Urged on by Pierce, Zhao orders the remaining personnel to evacuate via helicopter, but Pierce reveals he is also an agent for Botha, killing all but Zhao, who escapes into his penthouse apartment, locking it down from any intrusion.
Inspector Wu leads the local police to secure the Pearl and capture Sawyer, who is believed to be behind the incidents. Sawyer evades them and makes his way into the Pearl above the fire barrier using a crane from an adjacent building. Sawyer kills Pierce before Pierce can kill Sawyer's family, though Georgia is separated from the others. Sawyer has Sarah and Henry ride through the fire barrier in a free-fall elevator before applying the emergency brakes, letting them escape safely; Sarah immediately explains the situation to Wu and that Botha's men will likely escape via parachute to a nearby landing zone. Sawyer searches for Georgia, and after finding her they are captured by Botha, who demands Zhao in return for Georgia. Sawyer is forced to dangerously scale the outside of the building to access the security panel for Zhao's penthouse, then enters and confronts Zhao. Zhao explains that Botha had extorted money from him during the $6 billion construction project, but Zhao kept a detailed computer file of the transactions, which can reveal accounts and names of three crime syndicates Botha works for; Botha instigated the attack to obtain the records.
Sawyer brings Zhao to Botha at the top of the skyscraper, acquiescing to the trade for Georgia. However, Zhao distracts Botha, allowing Sawyer and Zhao to kill Botha's thugs. Botha grabs Georgia and threatens to drop her off the building, but Sawyer beats him, rescues Georgia, and lets Botha die in a grenade explosion as he falls. Wu leads an attack on the likely dropzone, securing Xia and killing her thugs. Sarah recovers the tablet and uses it to restart the Pearl’s systems, extinguishing the blaze. Sawyer, Georgia, and Zhao are brought down safely by helicopter, and the Sawyer family happily reunites while Wu acknowledges and finally meets and greets Sawyer. Zhao states his intention to rebuild the Pearl, shown to have massive fire damage extending from the 96th floor to the roof.

An unnamed young man, living alone and working as a postman, is given a terminal diagnosis of brain cancer. As he despairs and wonders who will miss him when he dies, he returns home to find a doppelganger of himself, who claims to be the devil. The "devil" tells the man that if he agrees that one type of thing, chosen by the devil, will be removed from the world (as if it had never been), then the man can have another day of life instead of dying the next day. The items are removed at the end of that day, giving the man one last day ostensibly to enjoy them before they disappear from the world. The story proceeds through successive days with new things being removed each day: after phones, then movies, clocks, and finally cats. The story focuses on the way in which the world is different for the man and his backstory without the removed items. Each of these is somehow crucial to his relationships with his few friends and family: an ex-girlfriend, a best friend who only knows how to interact with others through sharing movies, an acquaintance met in Buenos Aires, and most importantly, the man's late mother, whose cat he inherited. The story is told both in the present and in a series of flashbacks, and the viewer comes to have a better understanding of the young man's relationships with family and friends, and the pain and beauty of mortality.

Meanwhile, former marine Jake Carter (The Miz), now working as paramedic, with his partner Zoe (Anna Van Hooft), rescues a woman named Ana (Maryse Ouellet Mizanin) after a crane carrying bricks falls onto her car; she dies shortly due to loss of blood. As they depart, they receive a distress call coming from the parking lot.
They both arrive at the parking lot and find Cole and a dead Taylor, but three of the gang members arrive and intercept them. They attempt to escape in Cole's truck but the engine is destroyed by the gunshots and they escape. Another gang member, Alonzo (Bo Dallas), orders to surrender who shot Rodrigo or they will come to kill them. Deducing Cole to have lost a lot of blood, Zoe persuades Carter to stabilize his condition. As he heads back to the truck to retrieve the medical kit that was left behind, a gang member, Murphy (Naomi) intercepts him but Carter kills her, while Zoe creates a diversion to allow Cole to hide safely but she is knocked out and taken hostage by Deacon (Curtis Axel).
Two floors away, Alonzo holds Zoe at gunpoint, threatening to kill her if Carter doesn't surrender the man responsible. Carter uses Taylor's corpse as a decoy and presents him to Alonzo and Deacon, who release Zoe. After both gang members depart, thinking that the man solely responsible for Rodrigo's death is dead, Zoe calls out to Carter asking him to untie her hands.

A betrayed Alonzo brutally stabs Vincent, but Vincent's brother Cash (Heath Slater) stops him and himself stabs him multiple times to death, saying that he is doing it for the Lost Legion. Even then, he wanted to kill Cole. Recovering from his gunshot wounds, Carter rescues Cole in an ambulance, not before Carter and Cole kills the remaining bikers including Cash. They head to a construction site to call for medical assistance.
Alonzo locates them and brutally wounds Carter in a fist-fight while Cole makes it towards the rooftop. Alonzo confronts Cole but Carter appears and throws him off the building to death. As they climb down the building, the medic teams arrive and treat Cole. Carter tells Cole that he will have to tell the police about the entire incident and that he will be going back to prison. Cole thanks Carter for saving his life and makes a statement that he can at least see his daughter grow up.

It is the year 2960, roughly 300 years after the events of Wing Commander Prophecy. Humans expanded their territory in space to vast areas across many galaxies. The United Observatory Network (UON) being tasked with monitoring and recording incidents and effects of Super Nova explosions within or near human territories, one day records a Super Nova explosion in Alpha Centauri that exhibited certain unrecognizable patterns. Regardless, the explosion was filed as SN-2960rda and was left open for investigation.
Not short after, defense grids (outposts on the borders of human territories) began reporting increased concentrations of attacks from many races even that from those whom were not in conflict with humans. Puzzled by this sudden increase of aggressive (even suicidal) behavior, the United Defense Agency (UDA) put together a special fleet of 26 space ships of different specialties and capabilities, labeled between RM-1 and RM-26. The goal is to investigate the cause of the sudden universal hostility.
The player commands the RM-24 (combat and defense specialist), and takes off from one of the defense grids in the first level. As the RM-24 makes its first jump to a wormhole, it is immediately engaged by hostile attacks from other races space crafts.
As the fleet progresses in their recon mission, they gradually discover that the hostile behavior is instigated by a virus of organic matter somehow capable of infecting computer systems, driving them in hostile ways even if the space craft itself was not designed for combat. The virus is code-named IPA (short for Infinite Parallel Agents) and usually appears as a formless cloud of matter moving together.
RM-24 makes its first virus encounter in level 5 which causes the ship's systems to misbehave for a certain time before it gets cleaned out.
In level 9, RM-24 runs through the remnants of the Lexington (a carrier vessel from Wing Commander 4) which has been haunted by the virus, leading to the first major virus encounter in which it overtakes a disabled satellite orbital station and reactivates it to destroy the player.
Following the encounter, the fleet begins to trace the origins of the virus as well as ways to neutralize it. RM-24 finds itself in a second encounter with the IPA virus, only this time the virus is determined to take vengeance against RM-24 since the last encounter. The battle leads to the RM-24 losing connection to the time dimension.
After going through a time resync challenge, RM-24 re-establishes communication with what remained of the fleet to learn about the demise of most members. However, the fleet managed to trace the virus origins to Alpha Centauri where the SN-2960rda explosion occurred.
RM-24 makes its way to Alpha Centauri for one final confrontation with the IPA virus on the surface of a large battleship. The battle quickly unfolds to an impossible situation with IPA continually spreading and surrounding RM-24. RM-24 takes a last-hope move and jumps into a highly volatile wormhole that is about to collapse. The IPA virus, determined to bring down RM-24, follows it into the wormhole. As it takes the grip on RM-24, the space ship redirects all weapon energy to its thrusters and blasts out of the wormhole just in time before the wormhole collapses on itself, crushing the IPA virus along in the collapse.
RM-24 traces back its path to make contact with the remaining RM fleet before reporting back the success of the mission.

He takes it with him to the north, on a long journey through a beautiful and lost Italy.
''ELEX'' is the post-apocalyptic story of the planet Magalan, which was hit by a comet which brought not only mass destruction for its civilization, but also a mysterious and extremely powerful resource called Elex. The few survivors organised themselves in factions, each with a different vision of the future and distinct ways of using Elex. The Berserkers reject technology and purify the Elex by transforming it into Mana in order to obtain magical but natural powers; they do this by growing World Hearts, large plants that they believe heal the ground and thus the planet. The Outlaws only want profit and freedom. They use any modern weapons and technology they can find, being masters of putting to use any old scrap; they use Elex to create powerful drugs. The Clerics believe in a god called Calaan, are the most knowledgeable and technologically advanced faction, and believe that their religion can save the world.
These factions – the Free People – fight each other over resources, land, and Elex, but they all share a common enemy: the Albs. The Albs are ex-Clerics who decided they should use Elex by consuming it directly into their bodies, making them very strong at the cost of their emotions and skin pigmentation. They use the most advanced technology of Magalan and work blindly under the command of the Hybrid, an ancient being that wants to gather all the Elex of the planet to achieve a new state of evolution for the Albs.
Jax, the protagonist, is an Alb Commander on a special mission. His aircraft is shot down by an unknown enemy and then crashes over a mountain. He is knocked out for days, in which time most of the Elex clears out of his body, leaving him weak and alone in an unknown location and with a "Chaos of Emotions" (as one of the quests is called). He needs to regain his powers by joining a faction. He learns about how the Free People live while at the same time tries to understand what happened on the day of the crash and who attacked him.
The player is in charge of many key points in the story (including the ending) by deciding if Jax is a ''cold'' person (logical and rational) who keeps his Alb personality and goals, or more ''emotional'' by helping and siding with the Free People.

A suicide bombing by ISIS in a Kansas City grocery store kills fifteen people. In response, the United States government orders CIA officer Matt Graver to apply extreme measures to combat Mexican drug cartels who are suspected of having smuggled the terrorists across the U.S.-Mexico border. Graver and the Department of Defense decide the best option is to instigate a war between the major cartels, and Graver recruits operative Alejandro Gillick for the mission. Graver also meets with PMC official Andy Wheeldon to secure mercenaries, helicopters, and encrypted communication equipment in order for the U.S. to maintain plausible deniability while combating the Mexican cartels.
Gillick assassinates a high-profile lawyer of the Matamoros cartel in Mexico City while Graver and his team capture Isabel Reyes, the daughter of the kingpin of the Matamoros rival, Carlos Reyes (who ordered the killing of Gillick's family in the events leading up to the previous film), in a false flag operation.
Graver, Gillick and their team take Isabel to a safe house in Texas. They stage a DEA raid and pretend to rescue her, making her believe that she had been captured by the Matamoros cartel. They take her to an American military base while the team organizes her return to Mexico. They plan to leave her behind in a Mexican Federal Police depot located inside territory controlled by her father's rivals to further escalate the inter-cartel conflict. However, after they cross into Mexico, the corrupt police escort turns against them and attacks the American armoured vehicles. In the firefight that ensues, Graver and his team kill 25 Mexican policemen to escape the ambush.
Amidst the chaos, Isabel runs away into the desert. Gillick goes after her alone while the rest of the team returns to the United States. Meanwhile, the American government determines that at least two of the suicide bombers in Kansas City were really domestic terrorists, not foreign nationals, and thus were not smuggled into the United States by the cartels. To quell tensions with Mexico, the Secretary of Defense orders the CIA to abandon the mission. Learning that Isabel witnessed the Americans shooting the Mexican police, the Secretary orders the team to erase all proof of American involvement by killing Isabel and Gillick. Graver in turn warns Gillick and orders him to kill Isabel, but Gillick refuses and turns rogue in order to keep her alive. Both have found shelter at an isolated farm in the desert for the night. Gillick knows that if they stay in Mexico, Isabel will be killed. With few resources, they disguise themselves as illegal immigrants and pay human traffickers to help them re-enter the United States. Graver and his team fly covertly into Mexico on Black Hawks, tracking a GPS device that Gillick has activated and embedded into Isabel's shoe.
At the point of departure for the border, Miguel, a young Mexican-American who has been recruited as a coyote, recognizes Gillick from an encounter in a Texas parking lot two days earlier. He alerts his boss who takes Gillick and Isabel hostage. As a gang initiation, Miguel is forced to shoot a hooded Gillick in the head. Upset by his actions, Miguel abandons the gang and walks off by himself. Graver witnesses the apparent killing of Gillick through live satellite imaging and his team track down and eliminate the Mexican gang, rescuing Isabel. Instead of killing her according to his orders, Graver decides to bring Isabel back to the U.S. and place her in witness protection. Meanwhile, Gillick regains consciousness and discovers he has been shot through the cheek. He is chased by a gang search party but he kills its members by throwing a grenade into the pursuing car.
One year later, a now heavily gang-tattooed Miguel is in the Texas mall where he first saw Gillick. He enters the office of his gang contact but instead finds Gillick waiting for him. Gillick says to an inscrutable Miguel: "So you want to be a sicario? Let's talk about your future."
The Crystal Gems arrive at the ancient Gem Communication Hub to destroy the malfunctioning antenna. Garnet (Estelle) asks Amethyst (Michaela Dietz) to fuse with her to destroy it. Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) objects, cautious of the instability of Garnet and Amethyst's combined form, but Garnet dismisses her misgivings and fuses with Amethyst, producing Sugilite (Nicki Minaj). Reveling in her immense size and strength, Sugilite begins recklessly smashing the pillars of the antenna with her giant, wrecking-ball–like flail. When Steven (Zach Callison) is hit by debris, Pearl takes him home, leaving Sugilite to finish the demolition alone. Moments after they teleport out, falling debris destroys the warp pad.
Later, Steven shows off his injury to his friends Lars (Matthew Moy) and Sadie (Kate Micucci). When they mock how much Steven is making of a tiny cut, he proposes that they all need to become stronger, and enlists his father Greg (Tom Scharpling) to build a makeshift gym on the beach. Steven explains to Pearl what he's doing: he wants to be stronger so he can be more useful, like Sugilite. When Pearl tells him, "There are different ways of being strong," Steven retorts, "I want to be strong in the ''real'' way."
As Lars, Sadie, and Greg begin their workout, Pearl sings the song "Strong in the Real Way", lamenting Steven's admiration of Sugilite's brute strength and hoping she herself can be a more positive role model for him. Steven sings a second verse, coaching the others in their workout before beginning his own.
The next morning, Steven is too sore to move. Sugilite comes stomping up the beach, outraged that Pearl and Steven left her behind and unwilling to separate. She begins attacking Pearl and smashing Greg's gym. As Pearl despairs that she isn't strong enough to protect Steven, he grabs his megaphone and coaches her back into self-confidence. Heartened, Pearl allows Sugilite to chase her to the top of the hill, and then throws her spear at the cliff beneath Sugilite's foot so she loses her footing. Sugilite falls to the beach below, and her flail lands on her head, separating her. As Garnet and Amethyst reel on the sand, Pearl embraces them; and Garnet apologizes for not listening to Pearl's advice earlier.
As the episode begins, the Crystal Gems are trying to teach Steven (Zach Callison) to dance, hoping he will develop the power of fusion—the ability of Gems to merge their minds and bodies to form more powerful individuals. Steven has difficulty mastering the dance steps, and Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) is unsure whether fusion is even possible for him, though Amethyst (Michaela Dietz) and Garnet (Estelle) have more confidence.
Later, Steven discusses his difficulties with Connie (Grace Rolek). She tells him she admires him for even trying, saying she's usually too nervous to dance in front of other people. Steven invites her to dance with him on the beach. As they dance, Steven's gem begins to glow, and he and Connie inadvertently fuse into a single individual—a tall, androgynous, beautiful teenager (voiced by AJ Michalka).
They show the Gems their fused form—dubbed “Stevonnie” by Amethyst. Pearl is perturbed by the unprecedented fusion of a Gem with a human, but Garnet is thrilled, and advises Stevonnie to “go have fun!”
Stevonnie revels in the capabilities of their fused body, running and diving on the beach. When they stop for a snack at The Big Donut, the employees Lars and Sadie (Matthew Moy and Kate Micucci) are flustered and amazed by their beauty. Steven and Connie, through Stevonnie's voice, briefly check in with each other to ensure that they are comfortable remaining fused. Steven's friend Sour Cream (Brian Posehn) meets Stevonnie, and invites them to a rave he's DJing later that night.
At the rave, Stevonnie's graceful and athletic moves on the dance floor draw everyone's attention and admiration. Stevonnie, feeling anxious at being the center of attention and the only person dancing, begins to experience a panic attack, visualizing their anxiety as a disco ball closing in around them. They are interrupted by Kevin (Andrew Kishino), an arrogant teenager who wants them to dance with him. Stevonnie flees the dance floor, feeling isolated.
Kevin follows them, invading Stevonnie's personal space and refusing to take no for an answer. Eventually, disgusted, they agree to dance with him. Stevonnie's violent and angry dance moves confuse and disconcert Kevin, and soon Stevonnie falls apart and . Kevin panics and leaves. Steven and Connie laugh with nervous relief, and Sour Cream showers them with glowsticks as they run about on the dance floor.

An old woman, short and stout, enters a room containing a small puppet theater. Between the tasks of setting up a phonograph and a film projector, she carries in a large object, on top of which stands a statue of a dog. The dog comes to life. Inside the puppet theater, a mechanical platform rises up, revealing a miniature pianist. After a brief musical performance, the theater rotates, displaying an ocean scenescape - amidst other themed props, a fish's head is depicted bobbing up and down in the water. The theater then rotates again, settling on a hilltop home.
Inside the dwelling, sits a porcelain doll in the form of a young girl. A blue, spectral drawing sits with her, until she is roused by a bell. As the girl leaves the room, the wispy drawing looks after her, and then vanishes. A cloaked, pale-faced, old woman watches the young girl climb through the meandering, mechanical passageways of the puppet theater. The old woman signals for a loaf of bread and then passes it on to the young girl.
A lonely red balloon floats down a hallway. It stops to hover by a grotesque couple, gorging themselves on an opulent feast. The couple gaze at each other through richly designed fish masks. The balloon then passes on, reaching a tavern. The pianist is there, and three old men sit enraptured by a woman on stage. The young girl, who has made her way to the room as well, watches as one of the men casually swallows a pair of levitating playing cards.
Following the red balloon, the girl appears to return home. She is encountered however, by a rotating contraption, depicting a series of intricate masks. Her house is revealed to also be such a contraption. The young girl then appears standing alone in the puppet theater. The old woman, who set up the show, is watching. She directs a mechanical fan toward the girl, and the girl, covering her eyes in apparent fear, is blown away. The woman waves goodbye to an unseen audience.

Janeen, a young girl living in Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp near the small city of Waycross, helps park ranger Jim when his foot is caught in a poachers' trap and learns to trust him. Her home is a swamp cabin which she shares with a middle-aged African American whom she calls Pa. When she tells him about meeting ranger Jim, Pa reveals details about her past — his own name is Nat and several years ago he lived with and assisted an old doctor who saved his life. Doc had an abortion clinic, but also delivered unwanted babies and sold them to agents of Arab sheiks as sex slaves. Janeen was one of such babies, and lived with Doc and Nat until she was about six, when Doc decided she could be sold for a high price, but the two slavers who arrived for her refused to pay, killed Doc, and took Janeen. Nat, who suspected that Doc intended to sell her, hid nearby, used a hatchet to kill the slavers and, afraid of the law, retreated with Janeen to the swamp.
As Janeen says goodbye to Pa/Nat and goes to meet Jim, escaped convict Carol Martin and her boyfriend Steve arrive at the cabin and kill Nat with the last bullet in their shotgun. Hearing the shot, Janeen turns back and, as she enters and sees Nat's body, is taken prisoner by the couple who force her to lead them out of the swamp. Meanwhile, after waiting for Janeen's return, ranger Jim returns to Waycross where is informed by county sheriff Ben that Carol's boyfriend broke her out of the women's prison farm and, during the break, she fatally shot a guard. Carol's parents, Gifford and Ella, also arrive in the city with plans to aid Carol, hiring disreputable locals Denton Cole, Hank and Jesse as guides. Learning about the Martins' plan, Jim and Ben set out in a swamp airboat to explore the area. At the same time, as Janeen is prodded through the swamp by the fugitive couple, her anger at Nat's murder and realization that the newcomers are at a loss in the watery wilderness, leads her to guide them towards a quicksand pit and, as Steve is sucked in, Carol runs and falls into alligator infested waters.
Carol's final screams are heard by her father and his three guides who arrive there at the same time. Spotting Janeen and shouting that she caused his daughter's death, Gifford Martin shoots at her and, as Jim and Ben hear the shot and head toward him, runs into dense growth, while engaging in a shootout with Ben. Wounded by Ben, he falls into a nest of venomous snakes. Janeen, who fell to the ground after Martin's shot, was stunned by the impact, but not wounded. She boards the airboat along with Jim, Ben, Denton, Hank and Jesse, as they take Martin's body to his wife.
As Ella Martin cries out her grief upon seeing Gifford's bloodied corpse, Denton Cole tells her that Carol is also dead, "the swamp girl, there, fed her to a big gator". As Ella shouts, "I'll kill you", she hears the swamp girl addressed as Janeen, her own mother's name, and ruefully says that "my own daughter comes back to kill my husband and my daughter". She explains that Janeen's father died in the war and that her own father wanted to kill her for bringing shame upon the family.

''The Boy Spies of Philadelphia'' begins with three friends, the oldest being sixteen years old and the youngest hardly a year younger; the eldest, Jacob Ludwick, the second oldest, Seth Graydon, and the youngest was Enoch Ball. The two oldest joined the Continental Army in 1777, while Enoch was not really enrolled because his mother would not let him join, yet he helped Jacob and Seth on some of their missions, and took part as spies to help Washington at Valley Forge. The boys’ first mission was to gather information in the very heart of the British camp. The boy spies had very little craft in the amount of secrecy need to be a spy; therefore, they were never really better than some amateurs.
Enoch was later on summoned to join the army, his task was to be done by himself and to find and deliver the message that George Washington moved from Valley Forge to General Dickinson who was attempting to harass the enemy during his march. At camp, the boys set off on another mission all together. They are to lounge by the side of the road and learn which direction General Clinton proposes to march from the town near Mount Holly, a town in New Jersey; the boys were to return to the camp within forty-eight hours, even if the scout was unsuccessful in gathering any information. On the way to the town, the boy spies rest at a mysterious man’s house; they get trapped inside as prisoners of a Tory, enemies to the Whig party. When they escaped they headed back to camp because they had injuries and couldn’t proceed. The three-boy-spy-group continued to help the Continentalists and took part in the Battle of Monmouth as spies for General Washington.
During their first spy mission, Jacob, Seth, and Enoch, were assigned to gather information on the British. They had gathered enough intel and mounted on horses, ready to leave camp. The boys were discussing what they were going to tell General Lafayette when they got back to base. However, a group of British soldiers, stationed on the side of the road, overheard them talking and tried to trap the boys with a forest fire but failed. Jacob and Enoch were very nearly killed as the bullets whistled over their heads and about half a dozen men began to chase them on horseback. The boys were being chased by the soldiers for over thirty minutes until finally their horses gave in and the soldiers lost sight of the boy spies.
To be able to enlist in the army, Enoch had to find and give General Dickinson a letter that stated that George Washington’s troops had moved out of Valley Forge. Following General Arnold’s directions to find Dickinson, Enoch reached him during the night. While resting at Dickinson’s campsite, Enoch was reunited with Seth and Jacob. The boys traveled ten miles from the campsite without any weapons, uniforms, or any markings that they were soldiers. They decided to look for a house where they could stay the night, rest, and get fed. They end up arriving at a man’s house. He was very curious at first of who the boys were and let them stay in the attic. Seth realized that the room that they were about to stay in had heavy iron sockets on either side and a third upon the door with a stout bar, used to lock the door. They were planning to secretly leave before the owner arrived because they believed that he was a Tory and was going to lock them up. However, after the man drops off their food he closes the door and leaves. After they finished eating they realized that the door was locked, they were staying in a Tory’s house as prisoners. The only way to escape was to cut the wood with their knives. They pried open the wooden boards and attacked the Tory. They escaped but the Tory fought back as well.

6 weeks after the previous episode, Sam (Jared Padalecki) has been torturing demons to find the whereabouts of Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard). Dean has been partying with his new friend, Crowley and has been singing bad karaoke and sleeping with a bar waitress, Ann Marie (Emily Fonda). He then attacks her boyfriend when he seems to abuse her.
Sam finds some evidence from the murder of Drew Neely and gets help from the sheriff to discover that Neely was killed attacking a man: Dean. He uses the cameras to discovers Dean's black eyes, thinking that Dean is dead and Crowley used a demon to possess him. He retrieves Neely's phone and discovers that he was sent by Crowley to kill Dean. He calls Crowley to confront him over Dean's death, but Crowley states that the Mark of Cain couldn't let Dean die, and he is now a demon.
Castiel (Misha Collins), who is suffering from the effects of his dying grace, is approached by Hannah (Erica Carroll) to help her find two rogue angels, Daniel and Adina, who preferred to stay on Earth as they had more freedom from the angels and Heaven. When Daniel tries to kill Hannah, Castiel is forced to kill him. While leaving, Hannah states that she doesn't like the idea of angels taking on human values, as she fears it would lead to chaos. But Castiel thinks it's a good idea.
Dean's attitude continues to be a problem for Crowley, who has been sending Abaddon's loyalists after Dean so he could kill them. Sam is suddenly attacked and kidnapped by a man, Cole Trenton (Travis Aaron Wade), who tortures him to get Dean's location. Cole calls Dean to tell him that if he wants Sam alive, he needs to meet with him. However, Dean refuses, stating that whatever Sam does, is his fault. But he states to Cole that if he kills Sam, then Dean will find him and kill him, claiming he's a man of a word.
Porky Pig goes fishing, and two worms come out of their hole following Porky to his boat. Porky indicates that he wants the worms to go into the can. The first worm immediately hops into the can, and the second worm who is portrayed as a woman with gloves and high heels, is at first coy, but gets hauled inside. Porky starts the engine, and the boat goes crazy, speeding towards the ocean. The boat is running straight at a battleship, but goes down and up from the ocean under the ship. On the way back, the boat crashes inside the ship filled with Navy sailors and splits the dinner table in half. The boat exits the battle ship, which subsequently sinks. Porky manages to stop the boat, gets out his fishing rod, and after a few unsuccessful attempts starts fishing. Porky catches a fish head trophy and he throws it out.
He catches a bunch of fish, puts them in bucket, after which he feels tired and yawns. He arranges his rope as a pillow and goes to sleep, having a dream. In Porky's dream, an anthropomorphic fish portrayed as a hunter, is getting a fishing rod gun ready and is firing it towards Porky on the boat. Porky wakes up in the dream, and finds a ring shaped like a doughnut. He grabs the doughnut, but is caught by it, and is reeled in by the hunting fish. The fish carries Porky to his house underwater where his two fish kids and a fish wife awaits him.
The fish hunter presents Porky hanging upside down, and the kids begin laughing and get scared, as when touched, Porky acts like a fish. The fish hunter carries Porky to the kitchen, and uses a knife to cut Porky's shirt until he's naked, putting Porky into a pan and adding pepper, carrots, potatoes and an apple to put on Porky's mouth, after which he puts Porky into an oven. Inside the oven, a couple of flames are dancing around the pan, and Porky feels suffocated while coughing and he cries, "let me outta here!" Porky escapes the oven, and begins running away from the house. He encounters an eel, a giant fish, and a swordfish, and is caught by an octopus that entangles him. Porky wakes up still naked and tangled in rope, and begins throwing everything into the water, starts up the boat, and drives away.

Three years after exposing the corruption in his hometown of Winton, Queensland, the Indigenous detective Jay Swan is sent to the small mining town of Goldstone to find a missing Asian tourist. He is pulled over for driving under the influence by a young local cop, Josh, who informs the town's corrupt mayor, Maureen.
Jay is asleep in a motel caravan when it's shot up by two men, one with an eye patch. When Josh arrives, Jay tells him of his case.
Josh tells him the motel management is furious and wants Jay to leave. Josh takes him to a remote off-grid shelter.
Josh goes to the local mine, Furnace Creek, to meet with the mine's supervisor, Johnny, who attempts to bribe him to help Furnace Creek expand their operations. Johnny then meets with Maureen, who is trying to help him get approval from the local Aboriginal land council by bribing the land council's head, Tommy, to allow the use of the land.
Jay meets with a local Aboriginal elder, Jimmy, in his search for the missing Asian tourist. Jimmy leads him to Furnace Creek.
Jay sneaks past Furnace Creek's security checkpoint and observes several young Asian women disembarking from a plane and climbing into a van. The women are being forced into prostitution to pay off their debts. As Jay returns to his car, he is detained overnight by Furnace Creek security, and the next morning, Johnny attempts to intimidate him.
Upon returning home, Jay is visited by Josh, who tells him Maureen has summoned Jay to meet her for tea. Jay complies, and Maureen subtly warns him to stop his investigation.
Johnny and Maureen hold a press conference where they announce the mine's expansion and make an ostentatious show of having council approval. However, Jimmy walks out, denying them his signature of approval.
Jay receives an anonymous call and collects one of the girls' passports from the caller, then notices Josh's car. He follows Josh to the local creek, where Jimmy's body is hanging from a tree. Jay suspects foul play, but Josh states that Tommy witnessed the suicide.
Josh goes to the local bar/brothel, where the Asian girls are being kept. He befriends a prostitute called Mei and tells her to contact him if she needs help.
Tommy visits Josh, and confesses to killing Jimmy; he tells Josh about the corrupt activities of Maureen, Johnny, and the thugs who work as hitmen for Furnace Creek. Jay consults the man who found the passport and explores the area where it was found. There he finds a skeleton he assumes are the remains of the woman he was assigned to find.
Josh receives a missed call message from Mei. When he arrives at the brothel all the girls have gone. Interrogating the bartender, Josh is told they are in a trailer in the desert.
Josh first visits Maureen, who is anxiously shredding paperwork, and demands that she put him in touch with the head of the criminal operations. She reluctantly agrees to make the call.
Josh arrives at the trailer, seeking the women, but finds it empty. The thugs arrive, ambush Josh, and force him to dig his own grave. Jay, who has surreptitiously followed Josh, shoots at the thugs from a sniper's perch, incapacitating some and forcing them all to flee. Jay then enlists Josh to track down the thugs and rescue the women.
Jay and Josh drive at the Furnace Creek site and, after an intense shootout with the thugs, discover the women's whereabouts. Jay sees Johnny's plane fleeing the mines and chases it, while Josh finds and rescues the women.
Jay arrives at the airfield but is intercepted by a black armed guard, whose gunshots cause Jay's vehicle to crash while Johnny escapes. Jay and the guard stand off but decide to spare one another.
Later, at Jay's remote shelter, Josh tells Jay the federal authorities have taken over the case, retrieved the women, and begun an investigation into the corruption. Additionally, Maureen has skipped town.
Josh says he has requested a transfer to somewhere near the ocean where he can "shake off the dust" (corruption) of the outback. Jay bids him goodbye and drives away from Goldstone, into the desert, and retraces his visit with Jimmy to their ancestral site.
The film tells the story of a law clerk juggling romance and work while tracking down the owner of an art gallery in order to settle a claim.
Set entirely on the Appalachian Trail, sometime during the second Gulf War, the play follows the journey of Adam, aka "Frodo," a young college graduate lacking purpose and searching for adventure along with several other thru-hikers, all of whom are similarly unmoored. Together this impromptu fellowship struggles with nature, each other, and themselves as they make the journey from Georgia north to Maine.
As the play progresses, these disparate individuals pull together and slowly reveal more of themselves to each other and the audience. Each character's story builds upon the others, and several experience moments of crisis which are solved by building human connections between them. This eventually culminates in a mad dash through the woods at night to save a hallucinating member, who is dying of an untreated spider bite, and ultimately in Adam/Frodo's ascent of Katahdin.
The plot of ''North to Maine'' lacks traditional protagonists and antagonists; as one critic puts it:
The plot involved up to 10 conspirators travelling from Syria to engage in a series of suicide bombings and mass shootings in central Düsseldorf. Explosives were planned to be detonated on the main road near the Stadtbahn station, while their armed counterparts would have carried out further killings with weapons and more explosives. The plot was to involve attacks on the Heinrich-Heine-Allee street, as well as other attacks in the Altstadt district of the city.
Sam (Jared Padalecki) is told by Cole (Travis Aaron Wade) that on June 21, 2003, Cole woke up in the night to see Dean (Jensen Ackles) kill his father, the reason why he wants to kill Dean. He begins torturing Sam to reveal Dean's location but Sam tries to talk him down about the monsters he and Dean hunt but Cole doesn't believe him. While Cole speaks through the phone, Sam escapes.
Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) has Dean kill a man's wife after the man sold his soul. However, Dean instead kills the man, making Crowley furious as he has lost a soul. Meanwhile, Castiel (Misha Collins) is beginning to deteriorate his health, causing a car crash, wounding him and Hannah (Erica Carroll). Hannah decides to go to the dungeons in Heaven to talk to Metatron (Curtis Armstrong). Metatron offers Castiel's remaining grace if he's freed but Castiel arrives to refuse the deal, while Metatron states that he will somehow get out and kill everyone.
Realizing Dean is out of control, Crowley gives Sam his whereabouts. Dean refuses to go with Sam but the bar is attacked by Cole, who knocks down Sam. Cole reveals that he allowed Sam to escape and then follow him as he would go with Dean. Cole tries to attack Dean but he is no match for him and is brutally wounded. Dean leaves him alive so that he will have to live with the shame of having been unable to avenge his father. Sam then spreads holy water on Dean so he can handcuff him and take him to the car. Cole leaves but goes to a library to start researching on demons as a way to kill Dean. Sam then gives Crowley the First Blade and while driving, Dean begins to taunt him, stating he will have no mercy on him.

A month ago, two people were found dead in the living room of their house located on a street called 905 Sister Street as they were packing up to move. A pizza is ordered to the house using an online pizza delivery service by what is presumably a deceased and ghostly girl named Emily Withers. A pizza man who works at a company called Checkers Pizza (a spoof of Domino’s Pizza) comes to the house to fulfill the order. Details in the order explain that the door is open and to walk right in. When the pizza man walks in, announcing the delivery of the pizza, the door is closed and locked behind him. During his stay in the house, the pizza man encounters Emily and three living dolls named Kiki (a porcelain doll), Mr. Tatters (a clown doll), and Chester (a ventriloquist dummy). They want to play variations of children's games with him such as peek-a-boo, red light green light, tag, and hide-and-seek. A whiteboard in the kitchen tells the opposite of what he has to do to survive (although it sometimes has comments or facts that aren't lies). There is also a laptop in the kitchen that was used to order the pizza. If the pizza man plays these games correctly and survives from 11 pm to 6 am, Emily and the dolls will let him go free.
According to the notes in the house, Emily was a girl who suffered depression and found comfort in the dolls in the basement. She considered the dolls her friends, but her parents wanted to take them away from her. The recordings left behind seem to be from Maggie Withers, Emily's mother, and were recorded to help with her cope with her own depression. The recordings explain that Emily acted strangely ever since they moved here, presumably because she didn't like her new home. Emily showed signs of erratic and violent behavior, which led her to harm other children at school and kill a puppy that they bought her as a gift. Because of this, her parents decided to keep her at home and lock her in the basement. During this time, Emily found the dolls, and even stranger events began occurring. The dolls started appearing around the house without anyone moving them, and Emily had opened up a giant hole in the floor of her room that would be impossible for a small child to do. One day, Emily was found lifeless in the basement, which scared the parents into planning to move to a new house.
News audio that plays on a static television explains that a couple was killed a month ago while preparing to move. These two people are presumably Emily's parents, and someone had killed them before they could move, possibly Emily's angered ghost or one of her dolls. There are hints of a possible subplot. The phrases "Join Us" and "We Are One" can be seen written on a few notes, on the bottom of a crashed Windows computer and heard at the end of a recording in the basement. There is also a strange figure depicted behind what looks like Emily and her dolls on the back of one of the notes.
When the pizza man finally escapes, the police come back to check the house. A news report states that the pizza delivery man is now under psychiatric evaluation, but the dolls matching his description have been recovered.
''Emily Wants To Play Too'' begins at 6 am in the protagonist's apartment, after having a large party. The protagonist has to get to work at Timmy Thom's Fast Sandwiches (a spoof of Jimmy John’s Sandwiches) by 4 pm. At this point, he decides to rest before that time. While the protagonist sleeps, he seems to have the same nightmare he has been having in his previous slumbers where he encountered Emily and her dolls. When he officially awakens, he takes a shower and washes dishes before delivering a sandwich order to a research facility known as Central Evidence. Arriving there at 6 pm, he gets locked in and witnesses Chester performing some sort of ritual. He later sees Kiki bringing Maxwell Steeles to life using a similar ritual. The protagonist's objective is to discover keycards that gain access to four area levels and survive until 7 am before he can escape Emily and her dolls and exit the building. During this time, they start a fire in the building to destroy evidence of their existence and confiscate fire extinguishers in the building. Whiteboards in the building provide hints to help the protagonist; however, some are lies used to deceive him.
The game introduces three new dolls: Weasl, Maxwell Steeles (a man disguised as a store mannequin), and Greta. The original dolls are still present. The newspaper articles found within the building explain the backstories of Emily and the six dolls, implying that they are possessed by an evil entity (presumed to be the spirit of a puppet master named Vult Ludere, who is the original owner of Kiki, Mr. Tatters, and Chester).
Aside from the main ending, there are also two alternate endings in the game. The first can be achieved during the 6 am area at the player's apartment. If the player turns off the light, he will start to get scared. If he stays like this for over a minute, noises will be heard in the dark, suggesting that the dolls are gathering around him. Finally, the local journal reports that the protagonist died because he tripped and suffered a fatal injury. The second one can be achieved when he comes inside the Central Evidence for the first time where he sees Chester performing a ritual and runs away in terror.
In the main ending, a file revealing the accident at the Central Evidence and the dolls are shown while also indicating that the protagonist is now under psychiatric evaluation. The police believe him to be responsible for the fire that destroyed Central Evidence. Because he didn't deliver the order, he lost his job. The man reading the story is hinted to be the pizza delivery man from the first game, who suggests that he should "go back to that house."
As the credits roll, Emily and her dolls face a tall figure (presumably the entity mentioned in the newspapers), saying that it won't let her out anymore and now "they are one."

The narrator, Elio Perlman, recalls the events of the summer of about 1983, when he was seventeen and living with his parents in Italy. Each summer, his parents would take in a doctoral student as a house guest for six weeks, who would revise a book manuscript while assisting his father with academic paperwork. Elio resents the tradition, as it requires him to vacate his bedroom so the guest can use it for the duration of their stay.
Oliver, the guest for the summer, is carefree and detached—a stark contrast to Elio's introversion. Elio selected Oliver as a guest in the hopes of "instant affinities" between them and acts as his tour guide, though Elio's attempts to impress Oliver are met with indifference. Though Elio recognizes his own bisexuality and his attraction to Oliver—he is particularly excited by his discovery that Oliver is Jewish, seeing it as a bond between them—he doubts that Oliver reciprocates his feelings.
One day, Elio sneaks into Oliver's room, and masturbates while wearing Oliver's swimming trunks. Later, Elio confesses his attraction to Oliver, and they kiss on a berm where Claude Monet had supposedly painted some of his pictures. When Elio touches Oliver's penis through his clothes, Oliver pushes him away.
Oliver and Elio grow distant in the subsequent days. Elio begins an affair—more taking advantage of her, than anything—with Marzia, a local girl around his own age. Seeking reconciliation, Elio slips a note under Oliver's bedroom door, with a plan to meet at midnight. At midnight, Elio enters Oliver's room, where they have sex. Elio feels guilty about the encounter, and decides that he cannot continue his relationship with Oliver.
The next morning, Oliver wears Elio's bathing suit to breakfast—mirroring Elio's earlier fetishistic behavior—and later performs oral sex on Elio. Elio realizes that his attraction to Oliver persists, and that he wishes to continue their relationship. Elio visits Marzia's house, and the two have sex; in the afternoon he masturbates with a cut peach, and ejaculates inside of it. Oliver later visits Elio's room, eats the peach and its contents, and again has sex with Elio.
Before returning to the United States, Oliver decides to spend three days in Rome, where he is accompanied by Elio. Upon returning from the trip, Elio is saddened to find that his belongings have already been returned to his original bedroom, and that all traces of Oliver's visit have vanished. Elio has a discussion with his father, who says that he approves of the friendship (and relationship) between Elio and Oliver.
That Christmas, Oliver again visits the Perlman family, and announces that he intends to marry next summer. Oliver and Elio fall out of touch, and do not communicate with each other for many years.
Fifteen years later, Elio visits Oliver in the United States, where Oliver is now a professor. Elio is unwilling to meet Oliver's wife and children, admitting that he still feels attraction towards Oliver and jealousy towards his new family. Oliver admits that he has followed Elio's academic career, and shows him a postcard that he brought with him when he left Italy and has kept over the years. During a final meeting at a bar, Elio and Oliver muse that people can lead two parallel lives—one in reality, and one a fantasy that is denied to them by external forces.
Twenty years after their first meeting and one year before the narrator's present, Oliver visits Elio's family home in Italy. They recall their time together; Elio informs Oliver that his father has died, and that he has spread his ashes all over the world. The novel concludes with Elio, as the narrator, remarking to the reader that if Oliver remembered everything as he says he did, he should once more "look me in the face, hold my gaze, and call me by your name."
The fictional Commomwealth Space Project (CSP), based in Woomera, South Australia, is working to build a space station orbiting a thousand miles above the Earth's surface: ''Orbiter X''. Planned to be a refuelling station for further space exploration, along with laboratories and other services, the CSP has launched the various components for the space station into orbit. But before construction can begin, the first assembly ship, ''Orbiter 1'', is seemingly attacked and loses contact with CSP Control.
