A man (Reda Kateb) and a woman (Sophie Semin) are sitting on chairs in a garden outside of Paris on a bright summer day. All day long they talk about life and love.

A recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, who has been living in Europe for decades, accepts an invitation from his hometown in Argentina to receive a prize. In his country, the protagonist finds both similarities and irreconcilable differences with the people of his hometown.

In Quedlinburg, Germany, in 1919, Anna, a young German woman (Paula Beer) grieving over the death of her fiancé, Frantz Hoffmeister, in World War I, leaves flowers at his grave. She sees there fresh ones and realizes that these are from Adrien (Pierre Niney), a young Frenchman, she doesn't know. Adrien goes to the home of Frantz's parents, Dr. Hans and Magda Hoffmeister, but when Hans hears that Adrien is French, he tells him that a Frenchman killed his son, blames all French a murderers, and orders Adrien away. To which Adrien merely admits to Hans "You are right. I am a murderer".

Meanwhile, Anna is rejecting the unwelcome advances of an older suitor Mr. Kreutz, particularly as she cannot forget Frantz. Anna sees Adrien at the grave and sends him an invitation to the Hoffmeister home. After she tells the Hoffmeisters that Adrien was leaving flowers at Frantz's grave, they relent. Adrien visits and, upon questioning, tell them that he and Frantz were students together in Paris before the war. He recounts their last day together, when they visited the Louvre. Anna takes Adrien to the places she and Frantz used to go together, including the mountaintop where he proposed to her. Adrien, whose demeanour reminds them of Frantz, lifts Anna and the Hoffmeisters out of their despair. The Hoffmeisters ask Adrien, who had been a violinist, but whose hearing was damaged in the war, to play Frantz's violin for them, as Frantz used to do. Adrien asks Anna to go to the local ball with him and she accepts. The appearance of a Frenchman at the ball draws negative reactions from the locals, especially Kreutz.

Increasingly unable to maintain the lie, Adrien confesses to Anna that he lied about being Frantz's friend in Paris before the war. Actually, they met as enemy soldiers on the battlefield, face to face in a trench where Adrien killed Frantz. Frantz was a pacifist and his gun was unloaded. Adrien found Frantz's last letter to Anna on his body and, racked with guilt, resolved to visit Germany in order to seek forgiveness. Anna, heartbroken, says that she will tell the Hoffmeisters so that Adrien does not. In reality, however, she decides that it is better for them to remain in ignorance of Adrien's role after they have come to like him and see him as a connection to their lost son. Adrien returns to Paris and Anna sinks back into despair, attempting to drown herself. She does not reply to Adrien's letters and destroys one he enclosed for the Hoffmeisters confessing his true role. After being nursed back to health by the Hoffmeisters, Anna's spirits gradually recover and she decides to contact Adrien again. When Anna sends him a letter several months later, it is returned with no forwarding address.

Magda Hoffmeister, who had encouraged a romance between Anna and Adrien, encourages her to go to Paris to find him. Anna eventually tracks down Adrien at his mother's estate and forgives him, though he says he will never forgive himself. She also discovers that Adrien is about to enter an arranged marriage with a childhood friend, Fanny. Anna realises that the romance she had imagined developing between her and Adrien had all been in her head; all he had wanted from her was forgiveness. She kisses Adrien goodbye at the railway station and leaves. She continues writing to the Hoffmeisters as if she and Adrien are now together. In reality, she is living her own life in Paris, having finally started living again following Frantz's death, as Frantz said she should in his last letter to her.

He is interested in her and it seems that in exchange for sexual relations, he is ready to soften the fate of the prisoner, but this does not happen. A chimeric hope of freedom is replaced by cruel reality – Olga lands in a German concentration camp. There she meets Helmut, who in the past was hopelessly in love with her. Strange and painful relations commence between them.

The Nazis are already close to defeat, and Helmut decides to save Olga from the camp and run away with her to South America. Olga, having lost hope of freedom agrees, but at the last moment realizes that her idea of paradise has changed.

While racing to the hospital to see his daughter Xixi, who has leukemia and whose condition has become critical, Hong Kong Special Agent Lin Dong is informed by his colleague Xiao Su that Dr. James, an important witness, is in danger. Lin stops right outside the hospital, hesitates, and drives off to meet up with Xiao Su and their unit.

Before the unit arrives, Dr. James injects himself with a chemical substance and brings along a mechanical heart with him. As the unit escorts him away, they are ambushed by a squad of men in exotic black armor and high-tech weaponry led by a monstrous-looking man named Andre, who kills off most of the unit and severely injures Lin Dong and Xiao Su. Before Andre can capture Dr. James, Lin Dong pins him against an oil tank using his car. When Andre survives the car's impact, Lin shoots the oil tank, causing a huge explosion. As he lies gravely injured, Lin receives a phone call that Dr. James answers: Xixi has died at the hospital. However both Lin Dong and Andre are later shown to have survived, although Andre's injuries have him turned into a cyborg.

13 years later in Sydney, Australia, author Rick Rogers has recently released a book titled ''Bleeding Steel'' about a US Marine implanted with a mechanical heart. A young man named Li Sen, disguised as a female prostitute, pays a visit to Rogers at his hotel, drugs him, and downloads information about the book from his computer. A black-clad woman storms the building and tortures Rogers to reveal the source of his inspiration for the book. While Li Sen hides in the suite's bathtub, the Woman in Black is attacked by Lin Dong, who has also come to find out the same answer. Rogers is killed by the Woman in Black, and the arrival of the police forces everyone to retreat.

The Woman in Black returns to a high-tech airship that serves as Andre's headquarters and briefs him about the failed operation. He identifies Lin Dong and Li Sen from CCTV footage and sends the Woman after the latter, but Li Sen has already fled. Acting upon the data he had taken from Rogers, Li Sen tracks down Nancy, a young woman who is plagued by nightmares about a laboratory where strange experiments were conducted. In order to deal with them, she has been visiting a spiritualist, who in turn told Rogers about the dreams. She is tracked down by the Woman in Black, but is rescued and taken to safety by Lin Dong and Li Sen's combined efforts.

Nancy is revealed to be Xixi, resurrected by Dr. James, who had been working on the genetic enhancement of human beings, and specifically regeneration, to create immortal bioroid soldiers. James fitted Xixi with the mechanical heart and infused her with the chemical substance he had injected himself with, a biogenetic blood substitute, which gave her regenerative abilities. However, Xixi's temporary death had left her with amnesia, and she was put into an orphanage for her own safety, while Lin Dong and his old unit secretly watched over her. Her nightmares stem from James' memories which imprinted themselves on the blood substitute he had injected himself with, and his blood was afterwards used in her resurrection. Andre, a former special forces soldier, was another test subject who infiltrated the project in the service of a prominent Korean arms dealer who wanted to steal James' research and use it for profit. The procedure failed on Andre, leaving his cells to slowly consume him from within, and in revenge he killed the arms dealer and his family. James himself died soon after his operation on Xixi, making her the sole successful subject of his achievements.

Lin Dong takes Xixi and Li Sen to his house, where he locks the young man in his advanced security vault and pays a visit to the spiritualist, who he finds murdered. Xixi runs away to take a flight back to James' abandoned home, where she recovers both her old memories of her father and a bank vault key hidden by James. Following her, Lin Dong reunites with Xiao Su, but before he can reach Xixi, she is kidnapped by the Woman in Black and is brought to Andre's airship and imprisoned in his laboratory. Rejoined by Li Sen, who had managed to free himself, they proceed to the bank vault, where the Woman in Black has been captured by Xiao Su while trying to retrieve the vault's contents: a video camera. Examining the contents of the camera's tape, which details Andre's botched bioroid conversion, Lin and Xiao Su surmise that Andre is dying and he needs Xixi's blood to bestow the regenerative effect upon himself to survive.

Onboard Andre's airship, Andre proceeds to extract Xixi's blood and inject it into himself to restore his body. Lin Dong, Xiao Su, and Li Sen infiltrate the craft and try to break Xixi out but are thwarted by an impenetrable security screen. The trio battle Andre's henchmen, which forces him to join the fight before the transfusion is complete, which gives Xixi sufficient time to fully regenerate and come to her father's aid. Lin and the others cast Andre into the airship's reactor core, which overloads and destroys the lab, but Li Sen is caught in an explosion. Xiao Su and Xixi manage to escape the airship by parachute, but Lin Dong is attacked by Andre before he can join them. Because Andre had accidentally injected Lin Dong with Xixi's enhanced blood during their earlier encounter, Lin Dong gains enough strength to fight him off and rips Andre's heart out of his chest. Without a parachute, Lin jumps off the airship before a final explosion destroys the craft, killing Andre, but Xiao Su and Xixi catch him using their own chute's canopy.

In the aftermath, as Lin Dong, Xixi and Xiao enjoy time together, Lin learns from his colleague that Li Sen was the son of the arms dealer who had sought James' research, and for years he had planned to take revenge on Andre for the murder of his family. Lin also realizes that Li had been a friend of Nancy/Xixi at the orphanage and had acted out of genuine affection for her. In Norway, Li Sen is shown to have survived and is now offering the tape with James' research to the most interested buyer.

A young mother of two, Alejandra, is unhappy in her marriage to her husband Ángel, who is in a secret affair with Alejandra's brother, a nurse named Fabian. In public however, Ángel makes fun of Fabian and gays in general. Alejandra is desperately unhappy in her marriage and extremely sexually frustrated. While in the shower, she masturbates and almost reaches an orgasm until her kids knock on the door, interrupting her.

Veronica is a young woman who is sexually infatuated with a tentacled alien creature originating from a crashed meteor that an elderly couple keep in a barn in the countryside. She has been visiting the alien for years, having sexual encounters where the creature brings her to orgasm. Having never injured her in the past, the creature suddenly bites her in the abdomen. At the hospital, she is cared for by Fabian, and makes friends with him. When she tells the older couple she wants to continue visiting the alien, they forbid it, as it has become dangerous for her.

Ángel visits Fabián and angrily demands to know why Fabian has not answered his texts. Fabián informs him that their affair is over. Veronica entices Fabián to visit the barn, but later Fabián is found naked in a field, sexually assaulted and beaten into a coma. As he lays in the hospital, Alejandra finds his phone and reads the angry texts from Ángel, where Ángel demands sex from him, threatening violence. Ángel is arrested at work, and Alejandra testifies against him, as does one of Fabián's co-workers who witnessed their disputes.

Veronica brings Alejandra to the farm, where the couple tell her about how the alien arrived when something from the sky made a crater in a field near the farm. In the crater, animals of all sorts are wildly copulating. Alejandra is drugged by the couple and escorted into the barn, where the alien pleasures her. She continues to visit the barn, even sometimes bringing her kids along when she can't find anyone to watch them for her; they play outside while she joins her body with that of the creature. The elderly couple become increasingly concerned by the creature's capacity for violence. Veronica attempts to form a sexual relationship with a man, but he cannot satisfy her as the creature did.

Ángel's wealthy parents use their influence to have their son released from jail, posting bail by selling his house. They berate him for embarrassing them so badly, and insist he leave town and never return. Instead, he visits Alejandra in hopes of reuniting his family. She tells him that she now knows he didn't hurt Fabian, but he hits her when she says that they are done. When he tries to pull a gun on her, he accidentally shoots himself in the leg. Alejandra helps him into her truck, but drives into the countryside. She drags a semi-conscious Ángel into the barn, where she finds Veronica dead. As Alejandra leaves, the creature lowers itself from the ceiling towards Ángel.

Later, the older man and Alejandra dump the bodies of Veronica and Ángel into a pit, where Alejandra comments on how rapidly the dead bodies are piling up in the pit.

While being sent out to a forest, Siddhendra tries to escape and he loses his big toe when he is shot with an arrow by one of the King's soldiers. He hides behind a rock and misguides the soldiers by dropping his big toe in another route.

While walking through the forest, he hears a woman screaming and being attacked by a giant vulture. He fights with the vulture and kills it. The woman he saved is a witch called Sarpakesi and the vulture that tried to kill her is a warlock. Sarpakesi is impressed and grants him a boon. She builds a volcano (Jwala Dweepa) for Siddhendra and arranges a secret place inside it for him to perform all rituals in order to achieve immortal powers. She also snatches three small babies every day from the citizens of the kingdom through her black magic and brings them to Siddhendra for Goddess offerings.

One day Black Magic Goddess appears and tells Siddhendra that he can never achieve immortal powers in spite of all these offerings as he is considered handicapped due to losing his big toe. With the help of Sarpakesi, Siddhendra drowns the boat of king's army coming to attack him. Sarpakesi recommends Siddhendra to accept one of the servants of the King Prabhakara Varma, Bhallataka Varma (Rajanala) as his disciple and train him to achieve the goal. Bhallataka joins hands with Siddhendra and they conduct worship for five years to Snake God to gain immortal powers. Finally, Snake God blesses Bhallataka with immortal powers with one condition that his hands should never be filled with blood, meaning he can't kill anyone.

Bhallataka overtakes the kingdom of Prabhakara Varma and gets the King, the Queen and their four sons imprisoned in the volcano under the control of Sarpakesi. One of the servants manages to escape with the King's fifth son, Anand Varma (Kanta Rao) without Bhallataka's knowledge. Siddhendra creates an immortal girl called Lalasa and gets her married to Bhallataka. In an inauspicious moment, Lalasa gives birth to a baby girl, Aravinda (Krishna Kumari). Fed up with the atrocities, the chief priest curses Bhallataka that his own son-in-law will be killing Bhallataka. Bhallataka first thinks of killing his daughter, but couldn't because he will lose his powers. So, he decides not to get his daughter married. The chief priest is imprisoned and tortured by Sarpakesi. Bhallataka passes a rule that every citizen in the kingdom should worship him as the only God and should remove any idols or pictures of other gods from temples and houses. People like Kanteerava, who opposed this rule are harassed and jailed. The servant who raised Anand reveals the secret that Anand is the son of the King Prabhakara Varma and explains all the crimes of Bhallataka. Anand comes to the Tejovathi kingdom and is jailed for opposing Bhallataka's views by the commander Dalapathi (Kaikala Satya Narayana). Anand, through a small hole in the jail happens to see the princess Aravinda singing and falls for her. Both exchange words and Aravinda also falls for Anand.

The rest of the story is all about how Anand married Aravinda and released his family from the volcano (Jwala Dweepa) by killing Bhallataka and Siddhendra.

On a dark and rainy night, a woman (Lotta Losten) comes out of a room and turns off the hallway light, which causes a long-haired, humanlike silhouette to become visible at the other end of the hallway. Surprised, the woman turns the light back on and the silhouette vanishes. Switching the light off and on, she watches the silhouette appear and disappear, stopping when the silhouette suddenly moves so close it is inches away from her face. Gasping, she turns the light back on and tapes the switch in that position to prevent the silhouette from returning.

The woman goes to bed, leaving the lamp on her bedside table on and the door leading to the lit hallway ajar. She hears creaking sounds and looks towards the doorway. The hallway light starts flickering and eventually turns off. Scared, she hears footsteps approaching the bedroom and hides under the blanket. After a few seconds of silence, she peeks out. The door opens wider by itself, which terrifies the woman.

The lamp flickers. From under the blanket, the woman looks towards the power strip it is plugged in to. She nervously reaches out, locates the plug, and pushes it in more firmly. The flickering stops. The hallway light clicks back on and she sees it is on again and the door is only slightly ajar again. She is relieved, but unfortunately suddenly sees a monstrous humanoid with all-white eyes and an open mouth at her bedside table. The monster turns off the lamp, and the screen goes dark.

Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin) is being interrogated by a detective regarding Catherine Hobart's decapitation. She is desperate because nobody believes her, especially Chanel (Emma Roberts) and Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd). Meanwhile, a new patient with a Neurofibromatosis type I, Tyler (Colton Haynes), is being admitted into the hospital, where Dr. Brock (John Stamos) admits that they have a problem: there is a device that could help remove his warts, but it is expensive and the hospital does not have it yet, which makes Tyler desperate. Zayday (Keke Palmer) grows suspicious that Dean Cathy Musnch (Jamie Lee Curtis) hired the Chanels to get rid of them one by one, so she enlists Chamberlain (James Earl) to investigate why Cathy built a hospital in the first place. Later, Chanel and Dr. Brock go on a movie date, where all of a sudden his hand uncontrollably grabs Chanel's breast and grips another man's popcorn. Unaffected, Chanel is smitten and they proceed to kiss.

Chanel is on a night shift where she is chased by the Red Devil. It turns out to be Chad Radwell (Glen Powell) in disguise and it is revealed that it was he who scared Chanel in the asylum at the end of the first season. He is there to accompany his friend Randall, who has a severe trauma-caused screaming problem, while also planning to win her back. But he soon learna that Chanel is less than impressed with Chad's new antics as she is really bewitched by Dr. Brock's charm. Chad challenges Dr. Brock to a squash game to fight over Chanel. He is easily beaten by Brock, but after noticing how his right hand is behaving strangely, he confronts Brock who warns him to back off. Chad hires a private investigator and he discovers that Brock's right hand was from a squash player who happened to be a serial killer. He goes to confront him.

Zayday and Chamberlain continue their investigation and find out that in 1986, the entire staff of the old hospital (including Dr. Mike (Jerry O'Connell) and Nurse Thomas (Laura Bell Bundy) were murdered during a halloween party by someone in the Green Meanie costume, and they never found out the killer's identity. In the hallway, they bump into Nurse Ingrid Hoffel (Kirstie Alley) who asks Zayday about the Chanels' schedule to keep track with them secretively. An unconvinced Zayday is even more repulsed by Ingrid's obvious lies. Ingrid angrily tells her off. Later Zayday confronts Musnch about her plans, but Musnch reveals her true intentions of opening the hospital; she is trying to find a cure for herself as she has in incurable disease that is terminal, and she bursts into tears. Zayday tries to find a cure for her, but after some trials deduce that there is no cure and she only has a year to live. Cathy tells her this must be kept a secret, but unknown to them Ingrid is secretly listening to their conversation.

One night, Cathy gets ambushed by the Green Meanie in the hospital hallways and is able to defeat it. Just when she is about to unmask the killer, Dr. Cassidy Cascade (Taylor Lautner) and Chanel #3 arrive and distract Cathy. She is furious because the killer escaped due to their sudden arrival. Realizing Chanel #5's claims are true, she enlists CIA agent Denise Hemphill (Niecy Nash) to help them investigate, and she suggests they speak to Hester Ulrich (Lea Michelle) as she was a killer too. Hester demands to be transferred from the highly secure prison to the C.U.R.E. institute and given some discontinued beauty products and threatens more killings will occur if they refuse.

Tyler and Chanel #5 get closer as he comforts her, where she tells him she is depressed because of the Chanels' treatment to her and how she is not capable of getting a boyfriend. As a sympathetic Tyler reveals his photo before he was plagued by warts, Chanel #5 is stunned to see how handsome he was and decide to raise funds for his surgery. Chanel and Chanel #3 mock #5's fund raising video and tell her that as soon as Tyler is healed, he will feel the need to date her out of pity, while #5 is unsure. While at dinner together, Chanel #5 admits that she likes Tyler's personality despite his warts. She suddenly goes into a rampage when two guys insults Tyler. After calming down, she apologizes to him for being uncontrollable but Tyler is impressed. As they grow closer, Chanel seemingly congratulates #5 for being able to look into someone's soul rather than their ugly appearance (she was actually congratulating Tyler, instead) and announces she manipulated Chad to donate money for Tyler's surgery. The new couple are facetiming before his supposed surgery, but after it ends, #5 discover that his surgery is not scheduled that day and tells the Chanels about it. In the surgery room, Tyler is shocked to see the Green Meanie instead of the surgeons and the Green Meanie burns him with the laser that would be used for his surgery. The Chanels arrive too late; he is dead. As Chanel #5 mourns his death, Chanel states that they have another serial killer in their hands.

Firefighter Kim Ja-hong (Cha Tae-hyun) dies in the line of duty and is escorted to the afterlife by three guardians: Hae Won-maek (Ju Ji-hoon), Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi) and their leader Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo). They are to escort and defend him in seven trials in 49 days. If he passes, he will be reincarnated and his guardians will be given credit towards their own reincarnation.

In the first court, Hell of Murder, Ja-hong is tried for the indirect murder of his colleague, who was trapped beneath rubble during a fire. About to be sentenced, it is revealed that his colleague told him to prioritize the civilians. After rescuing 8 others, Ja-hong attempted to go back for his colleague only to be held back as the building collapsed. The judge then acquits Ja-hong.

In the 2nd court, Hell of Indolence, Ja-hong's guardians presented his selflessness and diligence. Ja-hong blurts out that he only worked for money and was about to be punished when Gang-rim interjects, stating that the money was to support his brother and ailing mother and therefore acquitting him.

On the way to the Hell of Deceit, ghouls attack as the physics of Hell begins to morph. This change indicates that a member of Ja-hong's family had died and become a vengeful spirit. Gang-rim leaves the party to investigate as the rest proceeds. In the Hell of Deceit, Ja-hong is accused of writing fake letters to the family of those who had died, one of whom is Ji-yeon, the daughter of his fallen colleague. Gang-rim supernaturally links with Deok-choon from the living world to defend Ja-hong, stating that Ja-hong had also written fake letters to his mom to cheer her up, allowing her to focus on her health. And that the letters to Ji-Yeon, despite her actually understanding that her father was dead, helped her cope with her loss. The evidence is thrown out and the charges are dismissed.

Gang-rim determines that it is Ja-hong's brother Soo-hong who has become the vengeful spirit. He finds that Soo-hong has been accidentally killed while on guard duty by his partner Dong-yeon, and his death was covered up by their superior, Lieutenant Park. Gang-rim foils an attempt by Soo-hong to kill Dong-yeon and learns that the Soo-hong's grudge was not against Ja-hong but rather Dong-yeon and Lt Park. Dong-Yeon tips off Soo-hong's mother on the location of his body and attempts suicide. He is saved by Gang-Rim on Soo-hong's request after the latter agreed to cooperate.

The trio pass through the Hells of Injustice and Betrayal without trial. In the Hell of Violence, Ja-hong is tried for beating Soo-hong when they were younger while the latter was suffering from malnutrition. As Ja-hong was not forgiven, he is convicted and is about to be punished when Gang-Rim instructs Deok-choon to request for a combined trial at the next court, the Hell of Filial Impiety. The request is granted. Ja-hong reveals that, due to poverty, he intended to commit familicide but was discovered by Soo-hong. In a fit, he beat up Soo-hong and fled out of guilt, opting not to be a burden and dedicate his life to supporting them.

Gang-rim and Soo-hong arrive at the army base only to witness the mother's shabby treatment at the hands of Lt Park. Enraged, Soo-hong transforms back into a vengeful spirit and lashes out at the base by conjuring up a massive tornado, only stopping when he realizes how his actions are affecting Ja-hong in the afterlife.

At the Hell of Filial Impiety, Ja-hong is immediately judged by Yeomra to be guilty. He learns that on the night of his attempted murder-suicide, his mother was actually awake and had decided to allow it, knowing that she was a burden on her family. Soo-hong, with the help of Gang-rim and Won-maek, enters his mother's dream and learns that she had already forgiven Ja-hong for that night. Since sins that have been forgiven in the living world are not allowed to be judged in the afterlife, Ja-hong is allowed to reincarnate.

Afterward, Gang-rim realizes that Yeomra had been meddling with his investigation of Soo-hong. He decides to confront Yeomra directly and chooses Soo-hong as the group's final soul before their own reincarnation.

Keoghan is seeking advice from Jonathan and Simon Kennett about re-enacting Harry Watson's 1928 ride in the Tour de France on period bicycles. Jonathan Kennett's advice to Keoghan is:

I don't think that you know what you are letting yourself in for, and if you did, you wouldn't do it.

Keoghan proceeds regardless and talks Ben Cornell into being his riding partner. They procure racing bikes from the era, and Keoghan researches the original route and drives it. The day after the 2013 Tour de France arrives in Paris, Keoghan and Cornell set off; not as planned early in the morning but late in the afternoon after Cornell's bike was temporarily lost by an airline. Sticking to the original schedule for every stage, day 1 finished in the middle of the night; one of many night time finishes.

Keoghan and Cornell's experiences are interlaced with historic footage, showing the drama of the day. The 1928 race was designed to eliminate as many riders as possible, and of the 164 riders who started (other sources show slightly different numbers), only 41 finished the race. Historic footage is narrated in newsreader style by veteran New Zealand newsreader Hewitt Humphrey. French media coverage is conveyed, where the general expectation was for the Australasian team to be eliminated quickly, as they would not be able to keep up with the 10-person teams of European riders.

Keoghan and Cornell sometimes get joined by other riders. In the Pyrenees, a local cycle enthusiast and historian mapped out a detailed schedule which saw them start at midnight so that they would get to their destination before nightfall. The three set off together and by 8am, they had already covered , equating to half that day's distance. Keoghan wonders why they started so early, not realising that the harder part of the ride was still to come. In the end, Keoghan and Cornell could not keep up with their 65-year old host, who also rode a period bicycle, and they were slower than expected, finishing the day after 23 hours of riding. Keoghan and Cornell had difficulty navigating and on occasions, inadvertently ended up on A class roads where cycling is prohibited.

Keoghan and Cornell arrived back in Paris after 26 days, as per their schedule, outside the Parc des Princes that in 1928 was a velodrome. They reflected that there are parts of the ride that they cannot remember due to physical and mental exhaustion. Against the odds, three of the four Australasian riders reached Paris, defying all dire predictions. Keoghan repeatedly reflects that despite his and Cornell's exhaustion, their 2013 ride was much easier than what Watson encountered, with unsealed roads and many punctures per day.

40 years after the events of the previous film, Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton) wrote a best-selling memoir based on her rape and has become a successful rape counselor. Her daughter, Christy Hills (Jamie Bernadette), is a successful model, having been one since the age of 10. The families of Jennifer's rapists and subsequent victims has begun their plan for revenge. The gang consists of Johnny's wife, Becky Stillman (Maria Olsen), Johnny's mother, Millie Stillman (Holgie Forrester), Johnny's father, Henry Stillman (Henry Roy Allen III), Matthew's grandmother, Beady Eyes Duncan (Alexandra Kenworthy), Matthew's father, Herman Duncan (Jim Tavare), Andy's cousin, Scotty Chirensky (Jeremy Ferdman), and Stanley's brother, Kevin Woods (Jonathan Peacy).

Christy meets Jennifer at a restaurant, where she expresses her desire to leave modeling and pursue something more challenging. When the two leave, Kevin and Scotty pull over their truck and ask Jennifer to sign a copy of her memoir. They kidnap the two women and take them to the country. Becky meets up with them and expresses her anger that they brought Christy instead of just Jennifer. Kevin and Becky take Jennifer to the site where she hanged Matthew, while Scotty drives Christy to an unknown location. Jennifer is forced to dig a hole while listening to classical music (due to Johnny being killed with classical music playing in the background), but manages to escape by using the shovel as a weapon and stealing a gun.

Meanwhile, Christy convinces Scotty to pull over on the premise of her needing to use the restroom, Scotty telling her to go into the woods. Scotty becomes suspicious that she takes too long and goes to find her. Christy knocks him out with a short tree branch, steals the truck, and drives back to the house to find her mother. Jennifer is greeted by a strange woman on a bicycle and is then picked up by an odd, old couple.

Jennifer is dropped off at a church, which she finds to be locked. Becky finds her and, after forcing her to beg for her life, decapitates Jennifer. Christy arrives moments later, finds her mother dead and tries to find help. Unsuccessful at finding help, she goes back to her mother's corpse, only to see a truck driving away with Jennifer's body. Becky comes back and chases Christy into the woods, where she is attacked by Herman and Kevin, who tear clothes off. Kevin knocks her out and rapes her. As she walks away, Becky and Scotty arrive, and Becky begins to rape her, but Herman manages to stop the rape, allowing Christy to run away. The gang gives chase after yelling at Herman.

The gang go to Johnny's grave and celebrate their victory before dumping Jennifer's body into a grave. Christy wakes up the next morning and steals clothes from a house. She finds Herman's house where she steals food and kills him by surprise with a sickle before shooting him. Becky orders Kevin and Scotty to find Christy. The two go looking for Christy and find Herman's car pulled over by the side of the road. When Kevin goes out to investigate, Christy ambushes him with a gun and orders him to strip (much like her mother did with Johnny). She then seduces him and gives him a handjob before stabbing him in the testicles with a broken beer bottle. Scotty comes after hearing Kevin's screams and is shot by Christy. Scotty pleads for his life (much like his cousin) and is anally raped by Christy using the gun before she shoots him through his rectum.

Unable to reach the rest of the gang, Becky goes out to find them. She finds Herman's, Scotty's, and Kevin's bodies and realizes Christy is likely to be alive. She ambushes Christy and almost kills her, but is stopped by the old couple Jennifer encountered. Christy murders Becky by hitting her over the head with a glass beer bottle.

The old couple shows Christy where Jennifer's body is, saying, "It's right next to your father's grave." When they arrive at the cemetery, it is revealed that Johnny was Christy's father and that Christy knew all along. She speaks to her mother and says she loves her and although Jennifer did not tell her who her father was, she knew the entire time. Christy is pushed into the grave by the old couple and the old woman Jennifer encountered previously. It is revealed that the old couple are Johnny's parents and the old woman is Matthew's grandmother. They throw dirt on and continuously hit Christy until she passes out.

While the couple recites prayers, Christy manages to climb out of the hole. She hits and impales the old woman with a shovel and beats, slices, and stabs Johnny's mother to death with it and a shotgun. She threatens Johnny's father and makes him put Jennifer's body into his truck. She decides not to kill him, but instead, he shoots himself, committing suicide.

Christy goes to the church to pray for forgiveness for what she has done. The film ends with Becky and Johnny's children, Melissa and Johnny Jr., coming to the gas station and wondering where their mother is, only to see Christy in their grandparents' car passing by.

'''Opening quote:''' "So the animals debated how they might drive the robbers out, and at last settled on an idea."

Nick (David Giuntoli) is now experiencing side effects after drinking the antidote. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) takes some of Nick's blood and pours it on a sample that is ingested by Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) and Renard (Sasha Roiz). When she returns home, she has hallucinations of her house with endless staircase and an enormous pit in the living room.

The next day, Monroe goes to a bank when suddenly, three Wesen rob the bank. Investigating the robbery, Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are told by Monroe that the Wesen broke an important law of honor of the Wesen: the Gesetzbuch Ehrenkodex, which forbids any Wesen from exposing their form to the public to "take advantage of normal folk". As Nick is a Grimm, he must deal with this.

Monroe decides to find out in a Wesen bar about the robbers. The robbers begins to attack him until he is saved by Nick and Hank and Monroe manages to deduce they were the robbers. The next day, the robbers pull a heist on another bank but they kill a woman and a police officer during their escape. This continues to cause some concerns in the Wesen community, who show up in the spice shop. While asking a homeless man in a factory, they discover one of the robbers is Gus Campbell (Eric Martin Reid).

Renard discovers the two other robbers and sends an email to De Groot (Nurmi Husa), a member of the Wesen Council to handle the situation before the Wesen get known to the public. Gus tells the robbers Cole (Callard Harris) and Krysta (Lili Mirojnick) that he plans to leave them and is killed. They flee to the factory while Nick and Hank find Gus' body. Nick and Hank arrive to the factory and arrest Cole and Krysta, but they are certain that they won't be arrested because they have not any evidence.

While Renard gives a press conference in the station, Nick and Hank bring Cole and Krysta. Suddenly, an assassin appears and shoots Cole and Krysta, killing them both. It turns out De Groot sent the assassin in response to the violation of the Wesen law. The episode ends as Juliette continues having hallucinations in her bed while receiving a call. As lightning invades the room, she hears a deep voice saying, "I just want you to know the truth."

The protagonist of this drama is an enthusiast of the nowadays rare type of Radiosport of the same name, fox hunting.

Three lesbian space aliens come to Earth, and one of the aliens, Zoinx, falls in love with an employee at a greeting card store named Jane. Jane shyly returns Zoinx's affection and they begin a romance, though Jane does not know that Zoinx is a space alien.

In 1972, Mason Skiles is a U.S. diplomat in Lebanon living in Beirut with his Lebanese wife, Nadia. They have recently begun caring for Karim, a 13-year-old Palestinian boy who claims he is without a family. While hosting a party, Skiles is confronted by his friend, CIA Officer Cal Riley, who wishes to question Karim, whose brother Rafid Abu Rajal has been linked to the 1972 Munich massacre. The party is attacked by Karim's brother, Rafid, who abducts Karim; in the ensuing gunfight, Nadia is killed.

Ten years later, Skiles has become an alcoholic and is working as a self-employed labor arbitrator in New England. While arbitrating a labor issue between particularly intransigent parties and struggling to keep his small firm afloat, he is approached by Sully, an old client, on behalf of the U.S. government. Sully discloses that Skiles has been requested for an academic lecture in Lebanon, and hands him money, a plane ticket, and a passport. Skiles is initially resistant but decides to travel to Beirut. He meets several government officials, including CIA Officer Donald Gaines, CIA Officer Sandy Crowder, Colonel Gary Ruzak of the National Security Council, and Ambassador Frank Whalen, and learns that Cal Riley was recently abducted in Lebanon. The kidnappers have specifically requested Skiles as the negotiator.

The group meets with the kidnappers and find Karim heading the organization. Karim demands the release of his brother in exchange for Riley, despite the Americans' protest that they do not have Rafid in captivity. Skiles suspects that Israel is holding Rafid, and travels with Ruzak to secure his release. The Israelis reveal that they do not have Rafid, and Skiles returns to Beirut to meet with Alice, Riley's wife. Alice holds Skiles responsible for Riley's abduction, believing that Riley has remained in Lebanon over the guilt he feels for Nadia's death.

The next day, while Skiles is conducting the lecture at the American University of Beirut (the official reason for his visit), a car bomb is set off outside the building. In the ensuing chaos, Skiles is instructed to leave to meet Karim. Karim brings him to Riley, who covertly tells Skiles that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is holding Rafid and that Gaines is not to be trusted. Before releasing Skiles, Karim threatens that unless Rafid is returned later that night, he will sell Riley to Iran. Skiles returns to Riley's apartment to search for clues, where he encounters Crowder. She reveals that Gaines had been stealing money from the embassy and that Riley has made a written report, but didn't deliver it to CIA authorities, shortly before his disappearance. Skiles convinces Crowder that the PLO is holding Rafid, and she steals $4 million from the CIA office to trade for Rafid.

Crowder and Skiles lead an attack on a PLO officer in order to force a trade for Rafid. After a payoff to his PLO captors, they bring him to the exchange with Karim. After trading Riley for Rafid, Rafid is shot and killed by a Mossad sniper in a nearby building. The Americans successfully escape. The Mossad sniper is actually Bernard who originally met Skiles when he arrived to Beirut. Bernard meets Sandrine, the mistress of the PLO officer whom Skiles attacked, who is also an Israeli agent, and leaves on a helicopter. Before departing Beirut, Skiles learns that Gaines has unexpectedly retired and that Ruzak has left Beirut. Crowder announces her intention to apply for the newly vacant station chief job, and Skiles offers his services as a negotiator.

As the film ends, news footage is shown of the subsequent 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, increasing international involvement in the country, and, finally, the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Marine Corps' barracks.

In Cuchillo, New Mexico, 1887, a group of five outlaws, led by Henry, are robbing the town bank, which culminates in a shoot-out with the residents of the town. A posse of bounty hunters, led by Josiah, is formed and are in hot pursuit, “only being a half-day behind them".

The outlaws are now down to four after one of the men was shot dead after the robbery. They are met on the path by a couple, who are the aunt and uncle of Charlie, and brought them supplies. They find out that there is a bounty of 8000 dollars on their heads. They shoot the couple so they cannot turn them in for the reward money.

The posse comes upon the scene of the dead couple, and Josiah talks to the couples' granddaughter Lulu, who hid in the bushes when her grandparents were shot. She tells them that they are headed East through White Sands, to make them more difficult to track.

The outlaws are down to three, when one passes out and they shoot him to put him out of his misery. They spot the Tildon farm, where Preacher George and Ada live with their teenage daughters, Charlotte and Florence, and make plan to descend on them at dark.

They burst in to the house, and start eating and drinking whiskey and intend to have relations with the women. Florence catches Henry's eye and he calls her to sit on his lap. Ada and George plead with the men because she is only 15, but both are brutally subdued by Charlie and Little Joe. George says he is the preacher of the chapel on the property, but nobody attends now because the town was ravaged by consumption.

Henry orders Little Joe to keep watch outside and take Charlotte with him. Henry wants a massage from Florence and they go into the bedroom. He is put off when she tries to perform oral sex on him, saying she is an "adventuress". He says he wants to have relations with her, but wants it done the proper way. Little Joe's advances are rebuffed when he tries to talk with Charlotte, who is disgusted with him. Charlie sexually assaults Ada while her husband sleeps next to her on the floor.

Florence becomes enamored by Henry and plans to elope with him, to the dismay of her family. Florence pulls a gun on George, but Henry stops her from shooting him. She shoots and kills Charlotte.

Henry asks George why Charlotte could not bear children. He lies and says it was because of the fever, but then confesses that he got Charlotte pregnant when she was 11 when he was "sick with devil's seed" and that a botched abortion was the cause of Charlotte not being able to have kids. George says he stopped a long time ago, but Henry knows he's lying and that he has continued to have relations with his daughters on a weekly basis.

Henry orders Little Joe to anally rape George, but calls him off, saying that he just wanted to scare him. Florence comes back in and uses a shot gun to beat George to death so he can feel the pain instead of a quick death. When asked why she killed Charlotte, she says it was because she enjoyed what went on with George. Florence spares Ada and leaves a bag of gold coins and the group leaves. Josiah gets to the farm and finds Ada sitting on the stairs of the chapel, apparently in a catatonic state. He steals the bag of coins, but Ada shoots him to death as he walks away.

The group makes it to Mexico and Florence shoots all three men. Charlie dies instantly, but Little Joe is still standing when Henry shoots him to keep him from shooting at Florence. Florence apologizes to Henry, saying she really wanted to go with him, but the reward money was too good to pass up. Henry shoots himself in the head and dies. Florence chops their heads off with an ax and bags them to turn in for the bounty. Back at the farm, Florence shoots Ada.

On her wedding night, Shirin is arrested for murdering the janitor of their home building. She refuses to talk to the police, who believe the janitor was blackmailing her with something until she grew tired and decided to kill him. The detective informs her fiance that she has canceled her marriage with two other men previously, which appears to be what she did not want to get revealed. The fiance gets angry and his father encourages him to forget her.

Shirin's parents hire a famously skilled lawyer, who visits Shirin in detention and manages to make her state her first words after arrest. The lawyer considers this a start and learns from Shirin's mother that in contrast to Shirin's two previous marriage attempts, she chose the last one herself; and that they are true lovers. The lawyer meets the fiance, who finally agrees to help. He visits Shirin and asks her for her motive. She begins to reveal her story: When she was a child, her parents were at work most of the time and entrusted her to an assistant named Morad, who frequently abused her and took pictures of her while they were alone. The police arrest Morad, who denies the accusations. However, when pictures of other girls are found in his house, he is tortured until he confesses to dozens of sexual abuses. As a result, he is sentenced to death.

Then Shirin is asked of the reason she killed the janitor. She reveals that as she was preparing to join her fiance, she noticed her neighbors' daughter being abused by the janitor. She freed the girl and killed the janitor. The detective and the lawyer debrief the abused girl and her parents, who refuse to testify, as the disclosure of the daughter's abuse can ruin the family's reputation and become a scandal that is not accepted in Iranian culture.

The lawyer tries another way to help Shirin's case. She brings a psychologist to the trial, where the latter states that traumatic events in childhood can affect the person's mental state and behavior. The court does not accept that and sentences Shirin to qisas.

Since the death sentence can be replaced by diyya if a family member of the victim exists, the lawyer and the fiance search for the janitor's family. They discover that there is a living brother, and the fiance meets a carpet salesman who knows of the brother's whereabouts. The salesman initially refuses to talk. The fiance threatens to burn the carpets and the salesman eventually reveals the location. The fiance and the lawyer head there, but discover the brother is dying of a drug overdose. They take him to a hospital but the brother dies. As a result, Shirin is transferred for execution.

On 27 June 1976, Wilfried Böse and Brigitte Kuhlmann, two terrorists belonging to the Revolutionary Cells, an ultra-leftist terrorist organization, hijack Air France Flight 139, flying from Tel Aviv to Paris, during the flight's initial stopover at Athens. Elsewhere, Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin and defense minister Shimon Peres are alerted of the hijacking.

During a refueling stop in Benghazi, Böse releases a female passenger who, unbeknownst to them, had pretended to suffer a miscarriage. After taking off once more, the hijackers commandeer the plane to Entebbe, Uganda, where they unite with several terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine; the two groups had jointly orchestrated the hijacking.

The next morning, the passengers are escorted by the terrorists to a dilapidated terminal, where they are greeted by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, who is in league with the hijackers. Concurrently, Rabin orders Peres and Gen. Motta Gur, the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), to sketch a military operation aimed at rescuing the hostages. Peres suggests invading the airport, but Rabin and Gur reject it. Concurrently, the terrorists begin to segregate Israeli and non-Israeli hostages, much to Böse's fury; he compares the segregation of the hostages to the Nazi-enforced Holocaust.

Meanwhile, Rabin begins negotiations with Amin, much to the detestations of Peres, who supports a military option. On 30 June, the hijackers release 48 non-Israeli hostages, while keeping the Israeli hostages incarcerated. Concurrently, Rabin, cornered by escalating diplomatic pressure, finally concedes to initiate negotiations with the hijackers on 1 July. Consequently, the hijackers postpone the deadline of their negotiations to 4 July. Regardless of the developments, the IDF initiates preparations for a rescue mission, consisting of the Sayeret Matkal elite commando unit, headed by Lt. Col. Yoni Netanyahu. Despite being favoring a diplomatic approach towards the crisis, Rabin reluctantly supports the operation.

On 3 July, with the preparations for the rescue mission - codenamed Operation Thunderbolt finalized, Rabin convenes the Israeli cabinet for a vote regarding the status of the operation; the cabinet unanimously votes to proceed with the mission, with full endorsement from Gur. The strike force, having already departed for Uganda, is authorized to proceed with the mission.

That night, four Israeli C-130 transport aircraft carrying the strike force land discreetly at Entebbe. Almost immediately, and as an approach to maintain the element of surprise, the unit approaches the terminal in a black Mercedes limo disguised as Amin's state vehicle. However, one of the operatives prematurely opens fire, alerting the hijackers and Ugandan security personnel. The operatives storm the building, engaging both the terrorists and Ugandan soldiers. In the ensuing melee, Böse, Kuhlmann and Yoni are killed, along with the remaining terrorists and several Ugandan soldiers. With the airport secure, the strike force evacuates 102 hostages from Uganda.

Elsewhere, Peres congratulates Rabin on the success of the operation; the latter solemnly retorts by stating that ensuring peace is the only way towards preventing further incidents between Israelis and Palestinians.

'''Opening quote:''' "Now we've got eyes — eyes — a beautiful pair of children's eyes," he whispered.

A man named Andre (Kieren Hutchison) arrives at a support group meeting where he talks with a girl named Molly (Megan Henning) and takes her to her house. He then woges into a fly-like Wesen named Jinnamuru Xunte and releases a red powder on her, blinding her. He then consumes her tears and leaves. As she can't see, she accidentally brings down a shelf on herself and is killed. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are sent to investigate while discovering that Molly left with Andre, who is possibly of South African origin. In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets with a woman, Frau Pech (Mary McDonald-Lewis), a Hexenbiest who agrees to help her with the baby. At night, Renard (Sasha Roiz) wakes up to find Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) in his bed, who then woges into a creature, seemingly into a dream or a message from Frau Pech.

Andre goes after another victim, Kelly (Suzanne Tufan) but escapes when her sister, Casey (Jenny Wade) arrives. In the trailer, Nick, Hank and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) find that the Jinnamuru Xunte feed from the tears of their victims. Kelly wakes up in the hospital with worms now spreading into her eyes. Andre is sighted at a high school and the police are sent there to apprehend him. Nick catches Andre, but Andre spreads the red powder on Nick, blinding him as well and fleeing.

Hank takes Nick to the spice shop where Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Monroe find that there's a cure for a vaccine but it requires them to extract the Jinnamuru Xunte's eye while alive and woged. Seemingly, Nick has now developed a sense where he manages to hear everything happening around him even if it's whispering. Casey returns home and is attacked by Andre. Hank is called and decides to go, bringing Nick, Monroe and Rosalee. They manage to knock out Andre and cut out his eye to make the antidote. Andre wakes up in his normal form and tries to escape but is stabbed by Casey.

Rosalee manages to mix the ingredients and restores Nick's sight. Juliette, who has been tormented by ghost visions, sees a ghost in his house that resembles Nick before disappearing. The episode ends as Nick discovers he now has more acute hearing and practices, with Monroe, hitting fruit while blindfolded, succeeding.

A thousand years after humans disappeared from Earth, a gleaming monolithic city known as "Eden 3" is inhabited solely by artificially intelligent robots whose former masters vanished long ago although they continue to grow agricultural produce.

Together, the two robots secretly raise Sara in a safe haven outside Eden 3.

At a Florida college, professor Paul Delville (James Mason) and wife Content (Susan Hayward), who is the school's dean of women, anticipate visitors from Sweden. The people they expect are a former colleague, Professor Sveg (Everett Glass), and his daughter Katrin (Julie Newmar).

Katrin arrives alone. The Delvilles are astounded that Katrin, whom they remember as a gangly teenager, has grown into a statuesque, blonde bombshell. Their astonishment is just the beginning because Katrin brashly announces that she wants Paul to sire a baby with her, assuring offspring with both brains and beauty.

Paul is flustered by Katrin's unwillingness to take no for an answer. She gives him a nude statue of herself, suns herself at his house in nothing but a skimpy towel, then shows up at a swim team practice in a provocative bathing suit.

Katrin's come-ons become a greater temptation, causing Content to seek the advice of a friend on campus, Dr. Ross Barnett (Robert Paige), a married professor. Ross dares her to "call his bluff", which is his way of trying to seduce Content for himself. She returns home and finds her husband and Katrin in a passionate kiss, but when he swears his allegiance and that nothing has happened, Content believes him. Katrin finally gives up and decides to try someone else.

The promised ... married

Angelo and Stella are about to get married, while the father of the lucky one, modest manager of a farm, receives a large sum. The man immediately took advantage of this to renovate the building and thus be able to receive more tourists, involving not only his family, but also that of the bride.

With her husband Shawn planning to arrive later, Laura takes her two young daughters, Kayla and Maddie, to a remote lake house for their annual family getaway. When they arrive, area resident Owen mentions that the family who previously lived in the house had a son named John who went missing. Meanwhile, at a gas station, Shawn buys the girls a music box.

While playing outside, Kayla and Maddie follow a long red string, which leads to a tea party set up in the middle of the forest, where there are two cupcakes on the table. Maddie eats one, but Kayla saves hers to give to Shawn. In the night, Maddie gets sick and vomits up a small piece of ribbon with the word "hello" written on it. Kayla tells Laura about the cupcakes and, in the cupcake Kayla saved, Laura finds another ribbon inside with the word "goodbye" on it.

Laura tries to call 911 but the landline is down. After hearing unsettling noises from upstairs, Laura goes out to her car to search for her cellphone, and finds a strange doll in the backseat. Laura leaves the house with the girls but as she drives away, two wheels fall off the car and crashes.

Back in the house, Laura finds a family photo with everyone's faces scratched out, except for hers. They also see a dark clothed and masked man standing outside, later revealed as John, just as Shawn arrives. He calls Laura's cellphone and hears John breathing heavily on the other end. Shawn then follows a red string into the forest where mannequins are positioned like a family in effigy around the tea party. John appears and kills Shawn with an axe.

More strange noises are heard inside the house. John uses a recording of Shawn's voice to lure Laura outside. Shawn's dead body suddenly drops from the roof with his eyes gouged out. When the lights in the house go out, Laura and the kids run outside, to find dolls that look like them - a woman hanging by a rope and child dolls on the swings. Eggs are thrown at them. They run inside. The female doll is thrown into the house at them through a window. Laura hides the girls in a closet upstairs while she recovers Shawn's car keys from his body. Owen arrives at the house to investigate the commotion. He is outside walking around with a light, and sees Laura inside tapping on a window. John appears and kills him with an axe.

Downstairs, Laura finds the doll in the kitchen, along with a storybook altered with handmade pages depicting John's plan to kill everyone. As they prepare to leave again, John unexpectedly breaks through the front door and captures Laura. Kayla grabs a kitchen knife. He then plays a children's song to lure Kayla and Maddie outside, thinking it's Shawn outside. They run to Shawn's car, only to find presents in the back seat, and their mother bound and gagged in the trunk. John swings his axe into Laura's side, gets in the car and drives toward the girls, chasing them back to the house.

John finds Kayla and Maddie hiding under a bed. He tells them it's ok to be scared, and his name is John. He explains to them that he grew up in the house and has been stalking Laura's family during each of their annual trips. John speaks cryptically about the storybook's significance and how he used to read it as a child. He flips the bed and captures both girls knocking them out to sleep.

By morning, it is shown that Shawn's eyes and arms are now on the mannequin. Laura is still alive, and John removes the axe from her side. John brings the unconscious sisters to his effigy collection in the forest and starts to prepare the girl mannequins to replace the wood parts with the girl's real parts. He prepares to chop off one of the girl's arms, when he hears a music box playing. He goes to investigate and having recovered, Laura has distracted John and attacks him with his axe, and he collapses to the ground. They struggle, but Laura fights back and eventually stabs him in the back. Kayla and Maddie reunite with their mother. She gets the girls in Shawn's car and sees John still laying on the ground with the axe in his back. She drives away, but the engine stalls. Laura manages to re-start it. As they look back, they see that John's body has disappeared.

In London in 1872, William Chester Minor, a retired United States Army surgeon, chasing down a man named George Merrett, thinking that he is someone else sent to kill him. Despite Merrett making it to his home, Minor shoots him to death right as Merrett's wife opens the door and witnesses the murder along with her eldest daughter. The police arrest Minor, who is horrified to realize he killed an innocent man. During the trial, despite the prosecuter's best attempt to pain Minor as a cold-blooded killer, the judge declares Minor criminally insane and has him sent to Broadmoor.

In Oxford, James Murray interviews for a position as editor of what will become the ''Oxford English Dictionary''. An autodidact, he left school at 14 and has no degree. Some Oxford University Press oversight committee members are contemptuous, but Freddie Furnivall describes their current "abject defeat," saying that the extraordinary Murray may be what they need. When Max Müller haughtily asks for qualifications, Murray reels off the long list of ancient and modern languages in which he is proficient and on demand provides a definition—and probable origins—of the word "clever".

Over dinner with the committee, Murray hears opposing views. Müller insists that the book capture English at its current "purest peak" and setting strict rules for correct speech. Furnivall says that "all words are valid in the language. Ancient or new, obsolete or robust on, foreign born or homegrown. The book must inventory every word, every nuance, every twist of etymology and every possible illustrated citation from every English author. All of it or nothing at all."

Murray has a solution to this daunting task: Enlist volunteers from everywhere English is spoken. He writes an appeal to English-speaking people around the world, asking them to send their contributions on slips of paper. Booksellers, librarians and newsagents distribute it. The slips pile up.

Meanwhile, Doctor Brayne receives Minor, who is tormented by flashbacks to the American Civil War. While transporting prisoners back to their rooms, the iron gate malfuntions, and a guard is pierced in the leg when he kicks a prisoner out of the way. During the other guards attempt to free him, Minor is hit with a moment of lucidity, and rushes forward to take control of the situation. Using his skills as a surgeon, he is able to successfully amputee the man's leg without too much blood loss. This saves the man's life and earns him the respect of the other guards. It also brings him to the attention of Broadmoor's head doctor, Dr Brayne. He asks that most of his army pension be given to Eliza Merrett, his victim's widow. Muncie, a guard, delivers it personally. Still grieving her husband and full of anger toward Minor, She refuses. Dr. Brayne promises to protect him from his pursuer, gives him room to paint and allows him his library of rare books.

Eliza turns to prostitution but is almost killed by an angry client. Muncie brings Christmas dinner to the family, and is asked to join. He later tells Eliza that her children don't have to suffer and that there is nothing wrong with accepting the money. She asks to see Minor and decides to accept his support. Seeing Minor continue to struggle, Muncie and the guards give Minor a book that they hope to help. Unknown to anyone the book contains one of Murray's appeals. When Minor read it, he is struck with awe and takes this as a sign. Minor tells Brayne that he will be "all right" with this work and more books. After transforming his room into a makeshift file room and library, Minor submits 1,000 slips to Murray and offers to take on the most elusive words, giving his address as "Crowthorne". The correspondence between Minor and Murray continues.

Eliza returns to thank Minor. He says his life belongs to her and she should not give her life to him. As Eliza continues to visit Minor, she learns to forgive him, seeing that he truly is ill and never meant to kill her husband. However, her eldest refuses to forgive him and acts cold toward Minor when she and her siblings are brought for a visit.

Murray arrives at Broadmoor unannounced, bringing a fascicle to Minor believing that he is a staff member. Murray eventually sees the shackles but is not daunted. "You are not alone—consanguineous", he says. Brayne encourages his visits.

Minor offers to teach Eliza to read and write. "It is freedom", he says. Brayne has hope, but one day Eliza kisses Minor. That night, crying "I have killed him again in your heart", Minor suffers another break from reality and cuts off his penis, sends his library to Murray and withdraws, sending even Murray away. During another series of flashbacks, it is shown that Minor was forced to brand a soldier on the face, the same soldier Minor described to Brayne, for acts of cowardice. It is implied that this event was what trigged Minor's insanity.

Vol. 1 is published. Murray receives an honorary doctorate from Oxford and Jowett and Gell plot to remove him.

A newspaper publishes an article about the madman and the dictionary. Murray rushes to Broadmoor to find Minor unresponsive. Eliza brings him out of it.

Jowett tells Murray that he will soon lose his post, but Furnivall reassures him: He has some "tricks" for Jowett and Gell.

Eliza asks Murray, "If I've forgiven him, why should they go on punishing him?" They get a hearing, where Eliza appeals to the judges, talking about her husband and how he would be saddened to learn what Minor was going through. While her speech does moves many, and convinces her daughter to finally forgive Minor, the judges still rule that Minor cannot be released as the fact is Minor still killed a man during one of his periods of insanity, and that there is no guarantee he won't do it again. Desperate and seeing Minor's further decline, Furnivall and Murray appeal to the home secretary, Winston Churchill, who has Minor deported to back the United States to be placed under the care of his family. Murray comes to say goodbye. Furnivall has a copy of the dictionary's new cover, bearing a royal seal of patronage, granted to "Dr James A. H. Murray". "The fortunate thing about these awful people is they believe in the divine right of rule ... So we use it against them. Your book is safe, James. You are safe at its helm ..."

"Now? Now Dr. Murray '''is''' the dictionary," Jowett tells Gell, suggesting he take a trip.

The film ends with Murray and his family in the garden, over text that describes the fates of the professor, the madman and the book.

''The Missing Link'' takes place during the events of ''Human Revolution'': after staging an explosion in the docks of Hengsha, Adam Jensen smuggles himself on board a ship bound for a secret research base inside a cryosleep pod. Adam is discovered and captured aboard the ship. Two Belltower commanders, Pieter Burke and Netanya Keitner, torture him for information on his identity. After the EMP chair holding him captive mysteriously deactivates, Adam is able to retrieve his equipment with the help of an unknown hacker who contacts him via radio. The ship docks at Rifleman Bank Station, a seaborne regional Belltower supply hub. After escaping into the station, Adam discovers that it was Keitner who set him free. Disillusioned with the unethical nature of local Belltower operations, she wants Adam to find concrete proof of illegal research that she can use to deliver to Interpol. She also instructs Adam to obtain weaponry from Garvin Quinn, resident technician and black market weapons trader.

After infiltrating the station's secure wing, Adam discovers a massive detention camp with hundreds of detainees. After talking to one of the prisoners, Nina Sullivan, and overhearing a conversation between Burke and two of the scientists, Gary Savage and Tiffany Kavanagh, he confirms that innocents are kidnapped across the globe to further the Illuminati research that Jensen is investigating, and that the experiments prove fatal to the majority of subjects. With Burke's spare retinal prosthesis, and Quinn's technical expertise, Adam is able to gain access to a concealed elevator that takes him to a massive undersea research facility. He confronts Kavanagh who, already having misgivings about the inhumane nature of the research, agrees to turn informant. Burke discovers Keitner's mutiny, and she is killed by his soldiers. Burke then initiates "Code Yellow": pumping toxic gas into both the detention camp and the research facility to eliminate any witnesses. Adam can either redirect the gas to save either Kavanagh or the prisoners, find and sabotage the gas distributor to save everyone, or simply do nothing and allow both parties to be killed.

Adam then backtracks through the base and confronts Burke, who can be either killed or incapacitated. Adam is then contacted by the hacker, who informs him that another ship is about to depart to Reed's location. He then reveals himself as both "Quinn" and Keitner's Interpol contact. He explained that he was withholding the truth from both Jensen and Keitner to use them as pawns against Belltower, and by extension, the Illuminati. Quinn, after commenting on Adam's actions, places him in a new cryosleep pod. The pod is delivered via helicopter onto the departing ship, while Quinn contacts the mysterious hacker "Janus", informing him of the success of the operation and debating Adam's future potential in combating the Illuminati.

A man offers balloons for children and realizes he is very high in the air before an off-screen voice introduces some acts, such as a glutton who can eat even the hardest and sharpest of items. He takes a bow, revealing his very flabby body shape. Next is Hot-Foot Hogan, a man who can walk on hot coals in just his bare feet. He demonstrates, yelling in pain until he sits back down again. Next is a special attraction, the sensational Captain Clamour, a human cannonball who flies very far into the distance and circles the Earth before landing, wearing the location stickers of places he has been.

Inside a small zoo is shown. A man disobeys a "Do Not Feed the Monkeys" sign until the monkey beats him up and calls the police. Next is an elderly stork who answers a nearby phone and struggles to talk to the person on the other line. A giant gorilla approaches the camera and is told of how threatening and dangerous he is, only to reveal he is actually very nice.

The voice continues on to the Flying Cadenzas, a group of men who can fly like birds. They fly around the entire tent and do tricks. One of them falls to the ground and the one who missed him hangs up a "Partner Wanted" sign. Next is Miss Dixie Dare, a woman who picks up a handkerchief with her teeth while riding a horse, but drops her teeth.

The next woman and her horse proceed to dance together before a lion tamer is shown with his lion. The tamer is doing very well, then forces open the lion's mouth, then sticks his head through it and pulls it out. This cheering makes the lion very happy so he tries it to the man, who seems to be highly surprised.

A group of elephants all line up by their tails and trunks, revealing a baby elephant second to last, as well as the Professor who is on the end. He then attempts to do one of his most dangerous tricks, allowing an elephant to sit on his head. But right before the elephant does it, he chickens out and begins to cry.

The final act consists of Count Maurice Leepov climbing a massive ladder onto a tiny panel, then jumping off of it into a very small tank of water. The band nearby begins to play music while the man is busy climbing up the ladder. He reaches the very top soon enough and then leaps from the wood panel... apparently not making it as the cartoon ends with a band member playing Taps.

This 18 part miniseries tells the story of Mexican singer Joan Sebastian from his childhood in Juliantla, Guerrero in Mexico up until his death in July 2015.

Andrew MacDhui, a widowed veterinary surgeon working in fictional Inveranoch, Scotland in 1912 has a young daughter, Mary Ruadh, who is attached to her pet ginger cat Thomasina (who narrates some of the story). Although Mary loves Thomasina, her father MacDhui only tolerates the cat. MacDhui is a bitter and resentful atheist because his wife died young, and while he had desired to be a medical doctor to save humans, his overbearing father forced him to be a vet like himself. The village children talk of a local "witch" named Lori who is said to cure ailing animals through magic. After MacDhui refuses to help an injured frog found by Geordie McNab, the boy takes the frog to Lori and leaves it for her to heal.

One day Thomasina falls ill, so Mary takes her beloved cat to her father expecting him to cure Thomasina. To Mary's shock, MacDhui has his assistant chloroform Thomasina and tells Mary that she's been euthanized. Mary recovers Thomasina's body, and her friend Hughie Stirling suggests giving her the best funeral the village children can arrange. Mary obliges and the children write on Thomasina's headboard that she was "foulley murdered." Mary refuses to talk to her father again until he brings Thomasina back and spurns his offer of a new pet. She later confides to her father's friend, the Reverend Peddie with whom MacDhui spars over God's existence, that her father is dead and that she killed him. As time passes, Mary stops talking altogether and loses interest in life.

When the funeral is over and Mary and her friends leave Thomasina's burial place in the hills, Lori appears, exhumes Thomasina's body and discovers the cat is still alive; the chloroform simply induced a deep sleep. Lori takes the cat to her own cottage to recover. When Thomasina wakes up, she thinks she is Bastet the Egyptian cat goddess, resurrected. The other animals at Lori's cottage don't believe her, especially when she tries to show her powers to them. Thomasina does not remember Mary or her former life. Lori renames her "Talitha" and keeps her.

Meanwhile, Mary has become ill and is eventually confined to bed, unable to speak. As a result of MacDhui's treatment of Thomasina, many villagers have stopped taking their animals to him and instead are taking them to Lori. MacDhui goes to confront Lori over this and ends up helping her care for a badly injured badger that beyond her ability to heal. He is touched by her tenderness and learns that she also has experienced the loss of her close family. He visits her often teaching her medical skills, and they eventually join forces to rescue the starving and abused animals the gypsies camping outside of town are showing and together fight with the gypsies.

Upon hearing that Mary will die soon, MacDhui goes to fetch Lori believing only she can help Mary, but overwhelmed by his vehemence, she doesn't respond. Coming upon Thomasina's grave on his way home, the inscription on the gravestone reveals his true nature to him, and he calls on God for forgiveness then returns to Mary. Lori comes at Reverend Peddie's request, and Thomasina, who has been sleeping in a drawer scented with lavender at Lori's cottage, wakes up and suddenly remembers her true identity and her past life with Mary and is impelled to make her way back to Mary through a rainstorm. When Thomasina appears at Mary's window, Lori recognizes her as the cat she rescued, the housekeeper lets her in and MacDhui hands her back to Mary. Mary is overjoyed to have her cat again and immediately starts to recover. MacDhui marries Lori and becomes a kinder veterinarian who now likes Thomasina.

Synopsis

Brubaker wanted to examine the reality of being a vigilante, and ''Kill or Be Killed'' focuses on the ramifications of violence and its effect on Dylan’s loved ones.Brusio, Vince (November 18, 2016), "[https://www.previewsworld.com/Article/179937-Ed-Brubaker-Believes-Its-Kill-Or-Be-Killed Ed Brubaker Believes It's Kill Or Be Killed]," Previews World. Retrieved December 30, 2016 The demonic element to the story also allows Brubaker to play with the idea of "If you had to kill a bad person, who would you pick?"(2016), "[https://imagecomics.com/features/kill-or-be-killed-debut-interview Brubaker, Phillips, & Breitweiser Kill or Be Killed Interview]," Image Comics. Retrieved December 30, 2016 Although Dylan becomes a murderer at the beginning of the story, Brubaker hopes the character's plight is sympathetic enough that readers will root for him. Dylan's arrangement with the demon has been interpreted as commentary on the War on Terror and the racially motivated violence publicised in the US in the two years prior to the book's publication.

A team of detectives from Woodmere Police are assigned to investigate the case, including: DS Nina Suresh (Indira Varma), DC Bobby Day (Robert Glenister), DC Alec Wayfield (Dino Fetscher), and their supervising officer, DI Michael Niles (Neil Stuke). They initially suspect the murderer is a local mental patient, Jacob Appley, who is under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Chris Crowley (Michael Maloney).

Meanwhile, an unidentified man (Kevin Doyle), dubbed the "Ghost Detective", is sending the team information and clues to evidence that could identify Angela's killer. As the investigation continues, the team discovers Angela's death could be linked to her ex-boyfriend, Ruben Lukana. The team enlists the help of Düsseldorf detective Linda Felber (Christiane Paul) to look into Lukana.

A drought has ravaged the part of the forest which Tobias, an effectively orphaned human boy trapped in the body of a red-tailed hawk, calls home. Another red-tailed hawk has moved into his territory. Tobias attempts to kill a baby rabbit for food but is outmaneuvered by his rival and suffers an injury from the mother rabbit. In desperation, Tobias finds and eats a piece of roadkill, but to his embarrassment, Rachel finds him while doing so.

A couple of days later Jake sends Tobias to speak with Rachel. Rachel lets Tobias know that someone claiming to be his cousin, Aria, has contacted a lawyer of his father and wants to get in touch with him. Rachel learned this information second-hand from Mr. Chapman, their high school vice principal and a high ranking Yeerk Controller. The Animorphs suspect it is a trap but decide to move forward with Tobias meeting with the lawyer, DeGroot.

At the meeting Tobias learns that his father had left a last will and testament to be read to him on his next birthday. DeGroot was also contacted by Aria, a photographer who recently returned from assignment in Africa and is staying at the downtown Hyatt. Concerned for his wellbeing she invited Tobias to meet with her.

Tobias flies off on his own and decides to go to the freed Hork-Bajir colony, where he meets with Jara Hamee, Ket Halpak, and their daughter, the colony's anomalously-gifted “seer” Toby Hamee. They tell Tobias that one of their male children, Bek, is missing. They fear he may have gone to a nearby Yeerk pool and factory, which they have raided previously to save captured Hork-Bajir.

Jake sends Tobias and Rachel to find Aria at the hotel. In bird morph they chase her cab to Frank's Safari Land, a run-down mini zoo and putt-putt golf course near the airport. Inside they find that Frank had purchased Bek from a truck driver and caged him. Neither Frank nor Aria seems to recognize that Bek is a Hork-Bajir. Frank refuses to let Aria take photos of Bek. Instead, Aria expresses concern for Bek and the deplorable conditions at Frank's zoo. She leaves and gets into a black limousine.

The Animorphs decide to extract Bek. At the zoo, Rachel morphs elephant and Tobias morphs Hork-Bajir. Rachel crashes into the building and Tobias finds Bek being guarded by human Controllers. A chaotic fight breaks out. During the fray Bek is freed but Tobias is shot. Jake orders him to leave with Bek. As they head for the back, the two are stopped by Visser Three, who morphs into a kaftid: an acid-spewing eight-legged alien. Tobias manages to slow down Visser Three but takes an acid attack directly to his back while trying to protect Bek. Tobias plunges into the lagoon to wash off the acid but loses Bek. The Animorphs abandon the mission.

The next day Ax visits Tobias and suggests they find Aria. While following her, they witness her save a small child who is almost hit by a car. Tobias and Ax conclude that Aria must be a human, not a Controller. That night Tobias visits Rachel. She tells him that Jake wants to infiltrate the Yeerk's Hork-Bajir facility to try and save Bek. When Tobias brings up Aria, the two argue about Tobias becoming human again permanently so he could live a human life. As Tobias, in anger, prepares to leave, Rachel reminds him that tomorrow is his birthday and he will have to decide between being hawk or human.

The next morning Jake and the others speak with Toby and ask her for the location of the Hork-Bajir facility. Toby insists that a small group of ten Hork-Bajir go with them for the battle. Jake reluctantly agrees. Secretly, Tobias seriously considers morphing and remaining human after the battle.

The Animorphs and the Hork-Bajir army reach the facility. They decide to allow four Hork-Bajir to get caught and to hide on their bodies as various insects. The Hork-Bajir are locked in a cage, where they are reunited with Bek. Tobias morphs Hork-Bajir and tricks a Hork-Bajir Controller into giving him the key to the cage. A fight breaks out and the Animorphs morph their battle animals. Tobias takes to the sky, where he sees a helicopter approaching the battle. In the cockpit he finds Aria piloting the helicopter and realizes that Aria is not only a Controller but Visser Three in morph. Tobias collapses but is rescued by Toby and Rachel.

Even knowing it is a trap, Tobias attends the meeting with DeGroot (whom Tobias now knows is a Controller) and Aria/Visser Three. Tobias learns that his father is Elfangor, who left a frank and detailed message for Tobias. Tobias effectively convinces Visser Three and DeGroot that he does not believe Elfangor's message and leaves the office. However, Tobias realizes that his duty is to be both boy and hawk. He returns to the meadow and acquires the mother rabbit before eating it. He then shepherds its babies to a safer spot. That night he visits Rachel, who has a birthday cake waiting for him.

The film centers on a divorcing couple, Dr. Olive Greene (Alicia Silverstone) and Clay Lonnergan (Ryan Kwanten), a professional ice hockey player. Both want custody of their beloved dog Wesley.

The dog, a golden Labrador Retriever, is the center of this couple's universe. When Olive gets tired of Clay's immaturity she throws him out of the matrimonial home. Clay moves to a trailer down by the lake in the woods.

They take Wesley to a dog psychologist, who says the dog needs discipline. Olive goes to a dog trainer, Glenn, who quickly controls Wesley and asks Olive out for a date.

While Clay has Wesley at his trailer he attempts to make a video with the help of his best friend, Rhett, but the video shows how undisciplined the dog is.

After another visit to the pet psychologist, the couple attempt to reconcile, but Glenn drops in unannounced and tells Clay he and Olive are dating.

Clay wants Olive back and tries to woo her at a street festival. Glenn intervenes and gets in a scuffle with Clay and Olive has to separate the two. She is not impressed with Clay's behavior.

At their final court appearance, the adoption papers are presented and the judge rules in Clay's favour.

Clay gets promoted to the big league but at the same time his dog wanders off and goes missing. He calls Olive to help search for the dog, who is finally found in a homeless shelter with some hobos.

During Clay's first game he gets injured, and gets his best friend to return the dog to Olive. Olive visits Clay in the hospital and they kiss.

They reconcile in the end and decide to stop the divorce proceedings. They later have a baby.

After a German U-boat is sunk near the end of World War I, its captain, the only living member of the crew 15 years later, plots to retrieve the gold bullion that went down with the boat. He enlists the financial help of a woman who owns a waterfront dive and a world-renowned undersea diver, but when the ship the woman bankrolls sinks the two men sign on to an expedition bankrolled by another woman -- this time with scientific knowledge being her motive. They plan to use the expedition's equipment to dive to the wreck and bring up the gold.

In the hideout, they find a camera len in his eye and remove it. Roy wakes up and states that in Hub City, he was being extorted by someone called "The Calculator" to commit crimes for him or he would reveal his identity to the world. In Kyushu, Nyssa goes to retrieve the lotus from Tatsu, who was assigned to protect it. They engage in a sword fight but as they're equally skilled, Tatsu gives up and gives her the lotus, stating there's something concerning Oliver.

Roy visits Thea but then, she begins to cough and Ra's wound begins to emerge from her chest. Malcolm manages to avoid the extension of the wound. Felicity attempts to decode the identity of Roy's extortionist but the Calculator is aware of their intention and using a voice cover, expels them from the system. However, Felicity and Oliver discover that he was hired to download a nuke throughout the network and kill people and is the main reason for coercing Roy to get the devices needed.

Finding the location of the placement of the bomb, Oliver, Roy, Diggle and Laurel infiltrate and take down the terrorists. However, the bomb needs to be activated so the damage is collateral, otherwise, it will affect the city. Roy decides to stay behind and activate the bomb while the rest escape. Using an arrow, Roy escapes in time just as the explosion takes place. Felicity also manages to send a virus to the Calculator's computer, erasing Roy's history.

Felicity manages to make the presentation in Palmer Tech, receiving an ovation from the public. One of the attendees is the Calculator, who speaks with Oliver, unaware of his identity. The Calculator later appears to Felicity, who calls him her father. Thea slips into a coma and Oliver is told by the doctor that Thea may never recover. He is then visited by Nyssa, who explains that she has the Lotus, an elixir that can reverse the side effects of the Pit and she offers to give it to him for Thea, on the condition that he kills Malcolm.

The story starts with Padre who tells his boy Pablo about how donkeys aren't stubborn after Pablo is frustrated with the attitude of his donkey Cupido, who is doing nothing to work for him. So Padre tells the story that happened many miles from where they live in El Camino Del Norte, Mexico.

In the Galilean countryside near the city of Nazareth, Small One was an old donkey who belonged to a woodcutter, whose son was kinder to him. One day the boy's father tells him to sell Small One to the tanner as he feels there is no use for him, as he is too old to work. The boy insists not to take him to the tanner's, but his father tells him not to cry over a donkey. The boy realizes there's no use arguing, so he goes off to town to sell Small One, but doesn't tell his father that he will sell him elsewhere. The first place he sees is an auction, where the bidder is selling horses. The boy asks the bidder to sell his donkey, but the bidder refuses and he and the crowd make fun of Small One which upsets the boy; the boy then sets off to see who else would buy him.

The boy and Small One both feel hopeless by sundown, and decide to go to the tanner's after all. Just then, the boy meets a nice man, who asks him if he can buy Small One, as he and his wife have a long way to go and she isn't very well. The boy sells the man Small One for one piece of silver and hurries to the gates before the guards close it. The boy promises Small One that when he grows up, he will buy him again and keep him. The man explains to the guards at the gate that his name is Joseph, his wife's name is Mary and they are heading to Bethlehem, so they make their way into the distance. In the end the boy says his last goodbyes to his friend, and Small One, as told by Padre, made it all the way to Bethlehem with Joseph and Mary and saw the king being born; despite how he was made fun of, he became part of the Christmas miracle.

In the end, Pablo and Padre listen, wondering whether it was a donkey's hooves or to the sound of the church bells rehearsing the chimes for Christmas morning, but only Cupido knew what it really was.

Yenish boy named Ernst Lossa is transferred to a mental institution, where he labors under the watch of Dr. Veithausen. Ernst, initially identified as a troublemaker, lives up to his role and frequently rebels in minor ways. He does not plan to stay in the institution long, but expects to be taken home (and eventually to America) by his father, Christian Lossa, but is denied discharge based on the fact that his father has no permanent address after being released from a concentration camp.

Initially, certain patients in the hospital are marked to be sent to the Hadamar Euthanasia Centre, where they are euthanized, but central authorities dictate that the euthanasia operation and decisions be transferred to individual institutions, leaving Dr. Veithausen to direct his nurses to execute patients under their care. The newly hired nurse, Sister Kiefer, has transferred from Hadamar and is willing to exterminate child patients using barbiturates. Meanwhile Sister Sophia tries to protect the children from being poisoned.

Ernst befriends Nandl, a fellow patient, and over time they become aware of Dr. Veithausen's plans to execute the patients in the institution. He attempts to work out an escape plan to save Nandl and himself. The doctor, following the logic of racial hygiene, devises a plan to starve patients slowly by feeding them boiled vegetable soup with all nutrients removed, which satisfies his Nazi superiors. Not long after, Ernst plans his escape during an air raid, but he fails when a bomb drops nearby and the falling debris injures Nandl and kills Sister Sophia. After the nurse's funeral, Ernst accuses Veithausen of being a murderer.

Dr. Veithausen calls for Ernst's death, which is carried out by either Paul Hechtle or Sister Kiefer (both deny being the killer). Nandl breaks the news to the other patients by claiming that Ernst has finally made it to America.

After dropping off their 22-year-old daughter Maddie to her senior year at Decatur University in Atlanta, Dan tells Deanna that he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with another woman, realtor Marcie. Heartbroken, Deanna visits her parents Mike and Sandy to tell them what happened, with Mike furiously denouncing Dan for making Deanna drop out of college in her final year because she was pregnant, as well as his overbearing ways during their marriage.

Deanna visits Maddie to tell the news and about her plans to enroll at Decatur University to finish her degree in Archaeology. Maddie is doubtful, but supportive. She introduces Deanna to her sorority friends Amanda, neurotic Debbie, and Helen. Deanna later meets her agoraphobic and chronically depressed roommate Leonor. On the first day of school, she meets demeaning girls Jennifer and Trina, who mock Deanna's age.

Deanna, supported by good friend Christine, joins Dan, supported by Marcie, at a mediation session to prepare their divorce papers. Marcie intends to sell their house without Deanna's approval.

Maddie and her friends take Deanna to a frat party, where she meets a student named Jack, a friend of Maddie's boyfriend, Tyler. The next morning mother and daughter catch each other leaving the bedrooms of their respective guys. Jack has truly fallen for Deanna, and they have sex again in the stacks at the library.

Another night, they attend an 80's-themed party where Deanna has a dance-off with Jennifer, resulting in earning the respect of her schoolmates. She has become both “one of the girls” but also a trusted mentor to Maddie's sorority sisters, who make her an honorary sister. Deanna is also doing great in her classes, until she has a midterm exam that requires an oral presentation. Her stage fright causes her to collapse part way through.

While Deanna is at a restaurant with Christine and Frank (her husband), and another couple (Bill and Amy) from their group of friends, Dan and Marcie unexpectedly show up, declaring they are getting married. Jack turns out to be Marcie's son, and, knowing about Deanna sleeping with Jack, Marcie walks out in disgust.

While Maddie attends Dan and Marcie's wedding, Deanna and her student friends unknowingly get high from chocolate bark laced with marijuana, and they head to the reception, where they start wrecking the wedding hall. Dan, Marcie and Maddie find them and Marcie tells Deanna she is cut off financially from Dan.

Deanna tries to make amends with Maddie, and tells her that she is leaving college since she has no means of paying the rest of her tuition. The girls decide to throw a party to raise the money. No one shows up as they are at a Christina Aguilera concert, so Helen posts a Twitter message claiming Aguilera will be at the party after her show. Christine and Frank attend, along with Mike and Sandy. Mike offers to give Deanna a 401K check to pay her tuition, but Deanna refuses. The party is soon filled with people expecting Aguilera, when a suspicious Jennifer confronts Helen, telling her that if Aguilera doesn't show up in three seconds, Jennifer will put Helen in another coma. The two girls engage in a serious fist fight until Deanna intervenes, telling them that girls should support each other and behave like friends. Suddenly, Aguilera (who turns out to be Leonor's cousin) arrives, and puts on a show with Deanna and the girls to an excited crowd.

Deanna still needs to complete her presentation in class. She is nervous until Maddie, Helen, Amanda, Debbie and all the sorority sisters show up to support her, and this time, Deanna manages to give the presentation with ease. At the end of the year, Deanna and Maddie graduate together, with all their friends and family there to support them. Maddie encourages Deanna to throw her cap in the air. She does so, and as it falls it hits Dan in the face.

While in Lion's mane, Steven (Zach Callison) accidentally pops a bubbled Gem that was stored there, which regenerates into Bismuth (Uzo Aduba). Steven brings her out of Lion's mane, and Garnet (Estelle) and Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) joyfully introduce her to Steven and Amethyst (Michaela Dietz) as one of the original Crystal Gems, thought lost during the Gem War. Bismuth is dismayed to learn that thousands of years have passed and they are the last of the Crystal Gems.

Bismuth takes the Crystal Gems to her forge, where she used to make weapons for the Rebellion. She speaks passionately about her desire to overthrow the "upper crust" of the Gem Homeworld and allow all Gems the freedom of self-determination. Bismuth gives the Gems upgrades for their weapons, and they all return to the temple to spar. Steven, intimidated by the intensity of the sparring, offers to show Bismuth some Earth traditions: badminton, card games, making pizzas and watching movies.

That night, Bismuth reminisces about Rose Quartz. When Steven says that he feels he'll never be able to live up to his mother's legacy, Bismuth tells him he can be someone even better—himself. She offers to give Steven a new weapon of his own.

Back at the forge, Bismuth shows Steven her masterpiece: the Breaking Point. While Rose's sword can compromise a Gem's physical form without damaging the gem itself, the Breaking Point is capable of shattering a gem in one hit, thus killing them permanently. Steven rejects the weapon, saying its use would make the Crystal Gems no better than Homeworld. Bismuth says that that's what Rose said when Bismuth first showed the Breaking Point to her, and concludes that Steven is just Rose in disguise. They fight, while Bismuth accuses "Rose" of hypocrisy and not valuing the lives of her followers.

At the end of the fight, in despair, Bismuth points the Breaking Point at her own gem and dares Steven to pull the trigger. When he refuses, she turns it around to point at him, forcing Steven to run her through with Rose's sword. Steven promises Bismuth that, unlike Rose, he'll tell the others what happened; her last words are "Then you really are better than her." Steven destroys the Breaking Point. Back at the temple, Steven and the other Crystal Gems sadly place Bismuth's gem, bubbled again, in the basement.

Connie Beauchamp (Amanda Mealing) lies unconscious, having been thrown from her car after it plunged over a ravine. Steph Sims (Tonicha Lawrence) watches down from the top of the cliff before driving off. A few minutes later she calls for an ambulance, but is hit by a car before she can. As Connie regains consciousness, she notices Grace Beauchamp's (Emily Carey) shoe in the car. Flames begin erupting from the vehicle. Connie moves towards the car but before she can get to Grace it explodes.

Meanwhile, the emergency department prepares to celebrate Charlie Fairhead's (Derek Thompson) thirtieth year at Holby City with a surprise party. The surprise is soon spoilt when Charlie finds former paramedic Josh Griffiths (Ian Bleasdale) in cubicles. Charlie then works to treat patient Sally Hodge (Pam St. Clement). Sally is revealed to have lithopedia after miscarrying her baby during her teenage years. Charlie then visits the pub where a party is held in his honour, with video footage from former colleagues shown to him.

Jacob Masters (Charles Venn) becomes concerned for Connie and Grace when they fail to answer their phones; when Steph is admitted to the emergency department, he goes in the ambulance with paramedics Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) and Jez Andrews (Lloyd Everitt) to the location where she was found. The trio find Connie's burnt out car at the bottom of the cliff. They reach Connie and learn that Grace was inside the vehicle as it exploded, but when Jez searches the vehicle, she is not there. As Iain and Jez search for Grace they find her in a critical condition and call for an air ambulance to escort her to hospital.

As the air ambulance prepares to land outside the emergency department a rotor blade is struck by a drone, causing the helicopter to crash land in the parking lot outside the hospital and into the back of an ambulance, causing the ambulance to knock scaffolding down over Alicia Munroe (Chelsea Halfpenny) and Ethan Hardy (George Rainsford). The tail of the helicopter smashes into the entrance of the emergency department causing brutal injuries. The department is shut down following the incident, with Connie and Grace’s lives prioritised. Grace is freed from the helicopter and taken into the department for treatment. Connie learns Grace has life-threatening injuries and may not survive surgery. The staff at Holby City come together to treat casualties of the accident. Grace survives surgery, but remains in a critical condition.

In the final moments of the Chaos War, Palin Majere descends into the Abyss to fight Chaos and defeats him with help of his future wife, Usha Majere, and other allies. Due to Chaos’ defeat, all the powerful magic on Krynn has disappeared as the Gods took it with them.

Back on Krynn, the blue dragon Khellendros, better known as Skie to humans, is searching for a different plane of existence to find Kitiara Uth Matar using magic portals located on Krynn. Khellendros plans on finding a worthy body for Kitiara to take and come back to life on Krynn. Khellendros finds a draconian and creates spawn from the draconian using a tear from his eye.

Back in Solace, Palin has a dream of a dragon destroying the Tower of Sorcery in Palanthas. The Master of the Tower in Palanthas then destroys the Tower to prevent any dragon from getting any magical artifacts.

A new large female red dragon, Malystryx, known as Malys, shows up to Ansalon and gains power over all other dragons. As she is gaining power, dragon overlords are established after word spreads. This process takes years, and in the meantime she eats smaller and weaker dragons to gain more power and strength. Malys and Khellendros agree to an alliance and eventually Khellendros realizes that humans are better for spawn then draconians are.

The Conclave of Wizards convenes and establish that they must find another way to make magic and defend themselves from the dragon overlords.

At the Tomb of Heroes in Solace, a young man, Dhamon Grimwulf is visiting and paying his respects to the fallen heroes of the Chaos War. While he is at prayer, he suddenly receives a vision from Goldmoon, one of the last surviving Heroes of the Lance. The vision calls for Dhamon to aid her in a quest she has prepared for him and to meet her at the Citadel of Light.

All the meanwhile, a young male kender named Raf Tanglemop, and an elderly kender woman named Vera-Jay “Blister” Nimblefingers, decide to tag along with Dhamon on his way to see Goldmoon. The three companions arrive at Newports where they meet a dark-skinned mariner, Rig Mer-Krel, and his female friend, Shaon. They are joined by a dwarf, Jasper Fireforge, nephew of a Hero of the Lance Flint Fireforge, who once made a promise to his uncle Flint in a dream to aid Goldmoon in her quest.

Goldmoon instructs her new heroes that they must travel to Palanthas where they are to meet Palin Majere and stop the evil there. Goldmoon gives Dhamon a cloth that was once tied to the famed Dragonlance. Jasper offers the mariners, Rig and Shaon, his ship appropriately titled, “Flint’s Anvil” as payment for their trip to Palanthas. One of the members of the crew is of this is a half-ogre named Groller whose sidekick is a red wolf named Fury.

However, on the way to Palanthas, the kender, Raf, is killed in a freak accident on the ship and is buried at sea. He becomes the first of the new heroes to die.

The companions first arrive at Caergoth on the way to Palanthas and confront some Knights of Takhisis. Dhamon and Rig get in a fight with the dark knights over their treatment of a beautiful Kagonesti elf named, Feril Dawnsprinter. She is in Caergoth trying to recruit knights to help fight the white dragon Gellidus, who has taken over her land in Southern Ergoth and changed the climate in the process. During the confrontation, one of the dark knights recognizes that Dhamon, who looks very familiar to him.

A hurdlefolk named Fissure shows up one day to Khellendros and brings two wyverns with him. Khellendros informs Fissure that he wants humans for his spawn. Fissure responds to Khellendros to get artifacts from the Age of Dreams, as they have the most magic still left in them that Khellendros can use. This magic is to be used to re-open the portals and bring Kitiara back. He tells Fissure to search for these artifacts to get ogres and dark knights on his side so they can capture humans on the outskirts of Palanthas.

In Palanthas, the companions arrive on the Flint's Anvil to meet Palin Majere. After hearing of people disappearing outside the city, the companions decide to investigate a village on the way to see Palin and are attacked by blue draconian spawn. The companions defeat the spawn and capture one of them with help of magic by Feril. The spawn reveals that they were ordered by their master to attack humans.

All the meanwhile, Khellendros spies on the companions through the eyes of the captured spawn. He also wants to know whatever happened to Palin's parents, two Heroes of the Lance, Caramon and Tika Majere.

Meanwhile, ogres raid the Flint's Anvil docked at Palanthas and take hostage the companions who stayed behind on the ship: Rig, Jasper, and Groller.

The companions eventually meet Palin and the Master of the Tower of Palanthas who is working closely with Dhamon to stop the dragons. Feril and Dhamon see the original Dragonlance handle which is meant for them to take with them. The other half of the Dragonlance is missing and Palin is supposed to lead them to it. Palin and the Master of the Tower figure out where the dragon is hiding out and that the blue dragon is really Skie, from the War of the Lance.

The companions come back to Flint's Anvil only to find out from Blister and Shaon that the others have been taken hostage. Palin uses a spell to summon Fury to find them, while Blister and Shaon decide to stay behind on the ship. Fury leads Palin, Dhamon, and Feril beyond the city to the foothills, where they spot an ogre prison camp and their friends among the prisoners. After a magic distraction by Palin, Feril sneaks into the camp and directs the prisoners away from the camp and a battle ensues. The heroes defeat the ogres, and the ogres tell them that Khellendros wanted humans for spawn.

Meanwhile, Fissure shows up in Khellendros’ cave and tells Khellendros that the humans have been rescued. This upsets Khellendros as he figures out that its Palin behind this and wants him and his friends destroyed. Fissure then disappears only to have Malys suddenly appear in his place. Malys is furious that Khellendors has been creating spawn behind her back and wants an explanation. Khellendros lies to her and says that he was creating spawn for her as a gift. Malys likes the idea of having armies of spawn and wants to create more of them with Khellendros. After Malys leaves, Fissure's wyverns return with a blue dragon named Gale, a former lieutenant of Khellendros. He orders Gale to find Palin and kill him and his friends.

After rescuing the prisoners, Palin, Dhamon, and Feril need to meet up with Palin's parents, Caramon and Tika Majere, who are waiting for them at an inn in Palanthas, where they could pick up the second half of the lance which is in Caramon's possession. Caramon gives Dhamon the haft of the silver lance and the Dragonlance is now complete. A storm suddenly hits Palanthas, but it's not a natural storm, its Gale arriving in the city to find Palin and his companions.

The three of them rush back to the Flint's Anvil where Gale attacks the ship and recognizes Dhamon. It's revealed that they used to be partners in the Chaos War and Dhamon was once a Knight of Takhisis. Gale wants Dhamon to come back with him, but Dhamon refuses to go with Gale, so Gale kills Shaon as punishment before he disappears.

Dhamon leaves the ship to confront Gale in the outskirts of the city, where Gale tells Dhamon that he has a new master now and it's Khellendros. Dhamon decides to fight Gale and while jumping on Gale's back and fighting him above a lake, Dhamon fatally wounds Gale and they both fall and plunge into the lake.

The novel ends with Dhamon being presumed dead and the remaining heroes deciding that they will continue to fight against the dragons in honor of Shaon and Dhamon.

The army's effort to capture Apache chief Geronimo, who is leading a band of warriors on a rampage of raiding and murder, is hampered by a feud between two officers—who are father and son.

Depressed and disappointed with his life after losing his job and his fiancée, Paul Berger attends a selection seminar for "Let's Get Pure", a secretive self-help program created by Ken Roberts. At the selection meeting, Paul takes an interest in fellow applicant Maggie Jameson. Paul is selected for the program's purification retreat. He is hesitant to sign a liability waiver that mentions the possibility of death, but agrees to participate after learning that Maggie was also selected.

Paul is escorted by car to the retreat's secluded woodland location. There, he meets Fredericks, who has been participating in the program for several weeks. Paul and Maggie also learn that two other applicants, Eric and his girlfriend Laurie, were selected to join the retreat.

Lily conducts the program. Each of the new participants is given four personally-formulated cleanse drinks that they are to consume before the end of the first day. Because of their horrible taste, Laurie is unable to finish her fourth drink while everyone else completes the first stage of cleansing. Paul gets sick during the night and throws up in the sink. The next day, a small creature emerges from the sink's drainpipe. The creature grows as time goes by. Paul nurtures his creature, realizing it is a physical manifestation of the negativity he purged from his system.

Maggie tries to leave the camp when she first confronts her creature, but Lily convinces her to stay. Eric spends time with his creature while Laurie is bedridden with an illness from having not completed her cleanse. Paul discovers Fredericks in battle with his creature, which has grown into a more monstrous form with time, in Fredericks' cabin. Fredericks insists that the situation is his to handle.

Maggie asks Paul to help understand her creature, as it seemingly refuses to bond with her. The two of them discover that their creatures are drawn to each other and also reflect their individual characteristics. Eric drinks Laurie's last cleanse drink. His creature tries to eat itself. Paul and Maggie continue getting to know one another. Paul's creature unexpectedly bites his finger.

Ken Roberts arrives at the camp. Paul and Maggie are summoned to meet him. Ken interrupts his admonishment of Eric for not following instructions to force Maggie into personal reflection. At the conclusion of their conversation, Ken gives Maggie a blade and instructs her to kill her creature to complete the cleanse. Maggie is unable to do it.

Maggie runs into the woods. Against Ken's command, Paul takes his creature as well as Maggie's and goes after her. Paul finds Eric in his cabin grieving over Laurie's dead body. Horrified, Paul finds Maggie and explains that they need to leave immediately. Ken and Lily catch up to confront Paul and Maggie. Ken says he will allow them to leave, but insists that they turn over their creatures. Paul takes Ken's car keys and continues fleeing. Fredericks is killed by his creature. While Paul drives, Maggie checks on the two creatures in the backseat and discovers them having merged into one Kafkaesque monster. Maggie is bitten, causing Paul to swerve and crash.

When Paul regains consciousness, he sees Maggie trying to kill the fused creature by bludgeoning it with a rock. Paul screams for her to stop before reluctantly realizing it must be killed for their own good. With tears in their eyes, Paul and Maggie strangle the creature with their bare hands, then embrace.

Gia is a percussionist with an orchestra in Tbilisi. He still lives with his mother. He occasionally finds time to talk to people, but it never lasts and he always has to hurry back to the orchestra.

During the Ayutthaya Period, Thai peasants struggled under draconian laws and authoritarian government. Sri Thanonchai's tricks subvert these systems, most often through word play or interpreting orders too literally. Some tricks are sinister or sadistic in nature. For example, when told to “tie up” his master's cattle, Sri Thanonchai hangs them from a tree. Eventually, the trickster schemes his way into the royal court and remains there until death. His tricks frequently offend the monarch, who several times orders his execution, but always Sri Thanonchai escapes by deceiving the executioners, or proves his innocence in court by demonstrating that he never told an untruth and was only following orders. Despite many outrages, the king always pardons Sri Thanonchai—partly in resignation, because no one can outsmart him, and partly in recognition of his service. Many of Sri Thanonchai's tricks humiliate the enemies of Ayutthaya by turning their pride or greed against them. For example, a Burmese bull tamer challenges Ayutthayans to a bullfight with his unbeatable bovine. Sri Thanonchai meets the challenger with a calf. The bull refuses to fight and leaves the ring, thus forfeiting the match.

The Sri Thanonchai story is divided into episodes that each tell a particular story.ยังรอต, วิไลรัตน์ and องค์วุฒิเวทย์, ธวัชชัย (2555) จิตรกรรมเล่าเรื่องวรรณคดีอมตะ: อิเหนา ศรีธนญชัย สังข์ทอง สุวรรณหงส์ คัทธณะกุมาร สินไซ. มิวเซียมเพรส. The following examples illustrate Sri Thanonchai's diverse methods and motives for trickery.

Birth

Sri Thanonchai's mother-to-be one night dreams that she brings the moon back to her house. She tells her husband about her dream, and her husband tells the Brahman about the dream. The Brahman says that they will have a bright child. Later the wife gives birth to Sri Thanonchai. He is the only child in the family, but later his mother bears another son. His brother receives a lot of attention from his family, and Sri Thanonchai becomes jealous. Sri Thanonchai's mother asks him to wash his brother. Sri Thanonchai proceeds to "clean" his brother as one cleans meat—by butchering him, cleaning him inside and out. When his parents return home and find their son dead, they banish Sri Thanonchai to live in the Temple.

Roofing

One day the Monk sees that the Roof of the temple is old and it is falling down so he asks the temple boys to fix the roof. Sri Thanonchai was the only boy who did not help. The other temple boys tell the monk that Sri Thanonchai did not help. Sri Thanonchai is scared that the monk will get mad at him so he reconstructs the roof himself. The other boys fixed the roof by twisting it to the right, so Sri Thanonchai twists the roof to the left. When the monk arrives, Sri Thanonchai asks his friends “which way did you twist the roof?” His friends answer “to the right”. The monk looks up and see that the roof is twisted to the left so he believes that Sri Thanonchai was the one who constructed the roof.

King of Ayutthaya

The King of Ayutthaya was strolling in the royal gardens with his courtesans and courtiers. As they reached a garden pond, the king, thinking to challenge Sri Thanonchai's wit, taunted him. “You are brainy, Sri Thanonchai. Can you think of a way to make your king go into this pond?” Sri Thanonchai answered. “Your Majesty, I could not persuade you to get into this water. That I could not do. But I could certainly make you come out of the water”. “Let us see” and the king quickly took off his clothes and lowered himself into the pond. Floating in the water, he asked. “Now, Sri Thanonchai. Start talking. How will you make me come out of this water?” Sri Thanonchai laughed. Bowing politely to the king, he said “Dear Majesty. I was not attempting to make you come out of this pond. I was attempting to make you go into the pond. And as you can see, I have succeeded!”. “Sri Thanonchai, you are too clever!” exclaimed the king. He came out of the water graciously, pleased with the wit of Sri Thanonchai.

Watermelon seeds

The King punishes Sri Thanonchai by sending him to stay on an isolated island. Luckily foreigners visit on a boat. Sri Thanonchai hides on the boat to get a ride to Market. During the ride, he sees the foreigners bring two big watermelons, both cut in half. The foreigners say that they will bring these two watermelons to gambling with the king. Sri Thanonchai knows what is happening, so he hides in the Palace. The next day, the foreigners bring the two watermelons to the king, and ask him to guess how many seeds are in the watermelons. If the king wins the foreigner will give the king everything he has but if the king loses, the king has to give the foreigner the city. At this time the king is thinking of Sri Thanonchai and asks a soldier to go and get him. Suddenly Sri Thanonchai appears and volunteers to guess the number of seeds. He pretends to do complicated calculations but gives the correct number of seeds in the watermelon as he has seen it before. This feat allows him to return and work in the palace.

'''Opening quote:''' "The demon came home, and he declared that the air was not clear. 'I smell the flesh of man."

In the Mount Hood, a geologist, Jill Prembrey (Nicole Santora) retrieves rocks near a fumarole. Then, she is attacked by Markus Hemmings (Gill Gayle) who tries to get back the rocks but she manages to escape. He then woges into a Taureus-Armenta. Later, Jill is killed at her home by a creature covered in lava called Volcanalis.

In the station, Hank (Russell Hornsby) is sent on vacation on behest of Nick (David Giuntoli), Wu (Reggie Lee) and Renard (Sasha Roiz). In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is taken by Frau Pech (Mary McDonald-Lewis) to visit Stefania Vaduva Popescu (Shohreh Aghdashloo), who explains that a bloodline must be established for the child and they subdue Adalind to place needles on her.

Juliette's visions continue haunting her, to the point where she crashes her car. She then visits Pilar (Bertila Damas) for help and she is given a tea to help her to focus and enter again in the past in an attempt to get the memories back. Nick and Wu go to the fumarole with Jill's boss to investigate the scene, where the boss retrieves rocks from the fumarole while Markus unsuccessfully tries to stop them.

Adalind's test shows that the baby is of Royal blood and offers her money for the baby when is born. Adalind refuses the money, preferring to get her Hexenbiest powers back. Upon finding out that Markus's wife was killed years ago, Nick and Renard bring him to the station. He claims that he didn't kill the archaeologists, he was in fact warning them of the danger that would happen to them and they were killed by a creature named Volcanalis for stealing its rocks.

The boss is killed by the Volcanalis that night and Nick tries to fight him back but he is no match for him. With information from the trailer, Nick, Renard and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) find that the Volcanalis is responsible for the eruption in Pompeii. They decide to call Markus for help as he is an expert on the topic. Markus claims that nothing can stop it "until hell freezes over". Nick then gets an idea to use liquid nitrogen to kill him.

Meanwhile, Juliette decides to remake the previous memories of Nick and she manages to control the problem. The episode ends as she now remembers the memory of Nick proposing to her.

1-4: Trevor Jamieson is stranded in a deadly jungle on the planet Eristan II with an ezwal, a 3-ton, six-legged saurian-like creature that dislikes humans and wants them to leave his native world, Carson's Planet. Having bailed out of a crashing spaceship, Jamieson and the telepathic ezwal must make their way to the wreckage in hopes that the subspace radio survived and they can call for help. Their journey is interrupted by a cruiser belonging to the Rull, creatures that appear to have evolved from chameleon-like worms and who are implacably hostile to all intelligent life. The Rull capture the ezwal, but must lie hidden when a Terran battleship engages their cruiser. When a native plant kills the Rull, the ezwal guides Jamieson to their lifeboat and Jamieson flies the two of them to safety.

5: Jamieson arranges to return the ezwal to Carson's Planet. As they part, the ezwal rejects Jamieson's request that the ezwals develop a mechanical civilization capable of fending off the Rull. Jamieson finds a similar intransigence in the human settlers, all of whom have had family members killed by ezwals. One young woman tells him that Carson's Planet's moon is habitable and offers to guide him on tour of it.

6-7: On Carson's Satellite Barbara Whitman leads Jamieson into a trap. Her plan fails to kill Jamieson, but they are both stranded on a hostile world. They begin walking back toward the city whence they came and Jamieson uses his wilderness survival skills to obtain food for them and save them from a blood-sucking gryb. Several days later the crew of his ship finds and rescues them.

8-13: Jamieson had been concerned about a female ezwal and her cub being taken to Earth. The ship carrying the ezwals crash lands in Alaska and a crewman kills the mother, who kills him before she dies. The cub manages to escape and is pursued over the landscape by men who believe he is merely an animal. Jamieson comes as the men are closing in and with the ezwal's cooperation convinces the men that the ezwal is an intelligent being and persuades them not to kill him.

14-16: Jamieson is organizing a project on the planet Mira 23 to obtain a fluid from a native lifeform in order to create a substance that will poison the Rull. Kidnaped by Rull agents, he is taken to Mira 23, where he will be used to frame the project's leader for his murder. He is left in the forest, where the lethal fauna will kill him, though the three Rull agents are killed by a menace they did not anticipate. Jamieson is then rescued by the project's leader.

17-19: In Solar City Jamieson's son Diddy is on a quest to find the source of an all-pervasive sound. During the all-night quest he is accompanied by Rull spies and saboteurs, who use him to gain access to The Yards, where a giant spaceship is being built. With the aid of counterspies and the ezwal cub, he obtains a flame gun and kills the saboteurs. Then he completes his quest.

20: With the ezwal cub accompanying him, Jamieson goes to the planet Ploia to capture one of the natives. Made up entirely of electromagnetic fields, the Ploian sends electrical systems into a frenzy, so Jamieson must use purely mechanical devices to control his ship. Through the ezwal's telepathic ability, he makes contact with the Ploian, which agrees to help him in return for a promise to take it home.

21-25: Jamieson has gone directly from Ploia to Laertes III to make a preliminary survey of the planet as a base of operations against the Rull. A Rull survey boat disables his lifeboat but is itself shot down. Jamieson must then engage the Rull in a battle of wits for ten days. In that time he manages to condition the Rull with a subconscious belief that the war is futile. At the end the Rull captures him, but the Ploian frees him and they go home in a Rull lifeboat. The Rull Jamieson confronted turns out to have been a Prime Leader and he does, indeed, end the war.

But during the process the two boys find themselves falling in love with each other.

The episode begins with Barry Allen, a forensic crime scene investigator for the Central City Police Department, recounting his youth, in which his mother was murdered by a yellow blur in a lightning storm, and his father was wrongly imprisoned for the crime. Fourteen years later, in 2014, Barry and his best friend Iris West attend the unveiling of a particle accelerator at S.T.A.R. Labs created by Dr. Harrison Wells. Meanwhile, Iris' father, Detective Joe West, and his partner Fred Chyre use evidence Barry discovered to find Clyde and Mark Mardon. Clyde kills Fred as they escape on a plane. Meanwhile, the particle accelerator explodes, creating a storm cloud and unleashing a wave of dark matter. The Mardon brothers are presumed dead after their plane crashes, and Barry is struck by lightning.

Nine months later, Barry wakes up from a coma in S.T.A.R. Labs and meets Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, and Wells, who is now wheelchair-bound following the explosion. Barry experiences superhuman speed and the S.T.A.R. Labs team test his abilities. Clyde later resurfaces with the ability to control the weather. Barry unsuccessfully tries to stop him, though he is able to identify him and his superhuman powers to Joe, who refuses to believe him. Barry confronts the team about the other "metahumans" created from the explosion, wanting to stop Clyde, but Wells doesn't want to risk the "treasures" within Barry's genetics. Feeling lost and hurt, Barry pays a visit to Starling City's Oliver Queen, alias "the Arrow", who encourages him to his heroic potential.

Barry returns to Central City and convinces Caitlin and Cisco to help him stop Clyde and other metahumans. To that end, Cisco gives Barry a suit that will withstand the friction created by his high-speed movements. Tracking Clyde to his old hideout, Joe and his new partner Detective Eddie Thawne, discover both his survival and his newfound powers. Barry arrives and is able to stop Clyde, who is killed by Joe. Learning about Barry's speed, Joe apologizes for not believing him, and asks him to keep this secret from Iris. With his new powers, Barry runs to help people and vows to one day exonerate his father.

In S.T.A.R. Labs, Wells enters a secret room. He rises from his wheelchair, and looks upon a holographic image of a newspaper (published on April 25, 2024) with a headline that reads "Flash Missing, Vanishes in Crisis".

After an idyllic childhood in the mountains of Russia, Berna accompanies her uncle to Kiev, to the Jewish part of the city. Many Jewish residents of Kiev are killed by the Cossacks and Berna flees, taking ship for the United States. In New York, she is exploited by a local boss, Jim McManus, who seduces her and puts her out onto the street as a prostitute.

Some time later, Berna marries Nicolai Turgenev, a young musician, and has a baby by him. But Ellen, McManus's daughter, falls in love with Nicolai and succeeds in drawing him away from his family. Meanwhile, McManus has become a judge; he ratifies their separation and grants Nikolai a divorce so that he can marry McManus's daughter and adopt Nikolai's and Berna's child.

Driven mad by desperation, Berna goes to the judge, accuses him of being the cause of her ruin, and kills him.

Convinced that prescription drugs can cure his mental disorder, a neighborhood eccentric (Gbenga Akinnagbe) ventures out of Brooklyn’s housing projects to escape his controlling mother (Alfre Woodard), and to find the one doctor who he believes can treat him.

After one of their favorite wrestlers apparently commits suicide, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) go to pay their respects only for a man at the wrestling show to get murdered with a strange symbol etched into his body. The two quickly figure out that they are dealing with a demon who is collecting souls, but find that none of the wrestlers are possessed.

One of the wrestlers, Harley (Mike "The Miz" Mizanin), is kidnapped by one of his fellow wrestlers, Gunner Lawless (Aleks Paunovic), who is working for a crossroads demon who is collecting souls to create his own "nest egg" with the appearance of the Darkness and the return of Lucifer. The demon overpowers the Winchesters and orders Lawless to kill Dean. Lawless explains that he had made a deal ten years before and the demon had promised to spare his life if he did its bidding.

Dean is able to convince Lawless to help and Lawless frees Dean and kills the demon. Sam and Dean leave as Lawless faces the hellhounds now after him and Dean is now more determined than ever to stop Lucifer and Amara and save Castiel. At the same time, Lucifer (Misha Collins) searches for another Hand of God with no luck. Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) escapes with the help of another demon and leads her to where he has stashed the Rod of Aaron.

Sick after an accident in which he lost his wife, a musician is angry with the whole world. In a secluded villa where a bisexual, a lesbian, and a spoiled kid live the dramatic and lustful affair plays out.

A-list actor Colton West has an argument with Darren the film director, and storms off in his car. An earthquake hits, and Colton sees the Santa Monica Mountains erupt, spewing volcanic bombs all around him. A large fire-spitting spider comes out of the car in front of him. Colton runs and drives out of the traffic back onto the main road to escape.

Colton arrives home, and tells his wife Olivia about the giant spiders and that they need to leave. He takes a shotgun from his house and drives off in his car to find his son Wyatt, who had left the house under the guise of going to a soccer game.

In reality, Wyatt is out with his friends Jordan, Eli and Travis when they hear an explosion and see much smoke in the distance, and go to investigate. The teenagers find the source of the explosion to be a sink hole. Spiders come out of the hole spitting fire and start attacking people. Terrified, the teenagers flee to a warehouse, but Eli is caught by a spider and killed.

Colton's car is damaged when he hits a lava sinkhole. He gets out and finds a tour bus full of people further up the road. He tricks the driver and steals the bus. As he is driving, a spider jumps onto the bus. He brakes heavily and the spider falls off the front of the bus, after which he runs it over. The front of the tour bus starts dissolving because of the spider's blood being acidic. Colton stops the bus and evacuates it just before it blows up.

A spider comes down the chimney in Olivia's house but she shoots it. The army starts moving into the city, and they rescue Olivia from her house.

Colton gets a lift from his friend, Pirate Jack, a film stunt man. Jack's car gets a puncture after hitting a lava vein in the road. Spiders come out of sink holes and chase them into a museum. They meet a scientist in the museum, who is researching the spiders and the volcano. He works out that the spiders were buried in the magma millions of years ago. Because the spiders became active, they are causing the volcanic eruptions, and that the only way to stop them is to kill the Queen spider.

A spider gets in through a window in the warehouse where the teenagers are hiding and tries to attack them. Wyatt fights the spider with a fire extinguisher. The girl who was burnt earlier, has a fit and dies. Then loads of baby spiders crawl out of her as she catches fire. The baby spiders then attack Travis, setting him on fire and killing him. Wyatt runs to the roof of the warehouse where he gets a phone signal and texts his location to Colton.

The spiders attack the army truck Olivia is in, she hides under a fire blanket as they breathe fire inside the truck. The soldiers all get killed and Olivia kills the spider and drives off in the army truck to try and find Colton.

Meanwhile, the spiders break into the museum. Jack is killed, but Colton manages to escape. Olivia finds Colton and they drive off to rescue Wyatt.

Wyatt climbs off the roof of the warehouse, and is attacked by a spider. Olivia and Colton arrive and run over the spider with the Army truck. Colton realizes that liquid nitrogen can be used to fight the spiders. They all go to the special effects store, where Colton finds his colleagues from the film set.

Colton makes a plan to kill the queen spider with a liquid nitrogen bomb, made using items from the special effects store. He leaves with his film crew, to drop the bombs into the queen’s underground chamber. They plant the bombs around the chamber and detonate them. Many spiders come out of sinkholes to the surface. The film crew shoots them all down. Then, the giant queen spider comes to the surface. Colton uses a jet pack from the film set and flies off a building towards the queen spider. He drops a nitrogen bomb into the spider's mouth, killing it and saving the city.

'''Opening quote:''' "They'll kill you, and I'll be here in the woods all alone and abandoned."

A man finds mutilated cows in a field and is confronted by a glowing blue skinned Wesen, who inadvertently kills him by pushing him into a fence post. His friend, Robert Hadley (David Bodin) finds him and sees the Wesen escape. Nick (David Giuntoli) meets with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) to discuss the key and Monroe discovers the key could lead to a site in the Black Forest in Germany.

The Wesen is a Glühenvolk named Vincent (Eric Tiede), who has been mutilating cows to feed their ovaries to his pregnant wife, Jocelyn (Erin Way). Nick asks Renard (Sasha Roiz) about the key's importance. Renard explains that the Royal Families have 4 keys out of 7 needed and are setting out to find Nick's key and the location of the other two, which will lead to a map with something everyone is desperate to find.

Nick and Wu (Reggie Lee) investigate the killing, with Hadley stating the Wesen was an alien. The incident catches the attention of George Lazure (Mark Fullerton), who claims to be a ufologist. While Nick and Wu find a piece of the skin of the Wesen, Lazure seems to know about the incident and manages to identify the "alien" from a witness. Nick learns from the police forensic doctor that the skin contains luciferase, which can make its skin glow.

Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) is worrying that her memories are straining her relationship with Nick. She visits Monroe, where she asks him the meaning of Grimm. Not giving details, he explains that Nick sees things that other people can't. Nick asks Rosalee (Bree Turner) about the Glühenvolk. She says that the species was thought to be extinct and the cow mutilations signal that their ovaries served for a birth. Nick decides to help the Glühenvolk couple as they could face extinction. They also discover that Lazure is in fact a Wesen hunter and also a Raub-Kondor. Lazure has a gun that fires bullets that contain a drug that kills Wesen but keeps them in their Wesen form for several hours after death. This is to allow him to skin the Glühenvolk while they are woged. The skin is valuable.

Lazure is now following Vincent and Jocelyn to a cottage, but Nick, Monroe and Rosalee get there first. Rosalee helps her give birth. Lazure arrives just after the baby is born. Nick kills him with his own gun while still he is woged. Vincent and Jocelyn leave for Alaska, where many Glühenvolk are residing. Knowing he is still woged, Nick calls the police to find his corpse, shocking them at first sight. He then woges back to his normal form.

At La Casa di Sol, an ancient Venezian home of various composers through the ages, a young violinist practices a piece by Paganini and then inexplicably electrocutes her bathing mother with a hairdryer.

A female rock band recording in a studio are told by their manager, Lavinia, that they should find a new song. The drummer, Daniel, travels to meet with a Mr. Pickett, who sells him an unpublished score by Paganini. Daniel demonstrates the new piece, "Paganini Horror", for Lavinia and the lead singer, Kate, with all three agreeing to record it. Lavinia suggests they employ famed horror director Mark Singer to film a video and Kate suggests they film at La Casa di Sol, with Lavinia adding that she knows the current homeowner, Sylvia.

During the video shoot, Sylvia reveals the legend that Paganini himself once resided in the house and murdered his bride, Antonia, there. Meanwhile, Pickett travels to St Mark's Campanile, where he throws the money Daniel gave him off the roof and invokes Paganini's curse.

Rita, the bass player, is confronted by Paganini, whom she assumes is Daniel wearing his costume from the video shoot; however, he stabs her to death with a violin. Sylvia and the guitarist, Elena, announce that Rita has vanished; Lavinia suggests she be replaced, while Mark suggests they finish the video using mannequins. While going to collect the mannequins, Daniel sees Rita and is summoned by her to another room, where Paganini murders him.

Sylvia finds Daniel's ring amongst ash and they decide Daniel has played a joke on them when the ground opens beneath Kate and she falls. As Mark tries to help her out of the hole, he is electrocuted and drops Kate into the hole. Mark and Elena are driven from the house by deafening sounds, but when they try to escape, their car hits an invisible barrier, ejecting Elena from the car and engulfing it and Mark in flames. Lavinia finds a tunnel in the hole and descends to try and locate Kate. Elena and Sylvia hear Lavinia scream, but Elena believes the scream came from upstairs, leading Sylvia to investigate.

Sylvia, hearing ghostly violin music, ascends the stairs and sees Daniel outside in the courtyard. After quickly exiting the house to greet him, she finds he has vanished and discovers a bewildered Kate in the empty courtyard pool. The two agree to find the others and escape.

Lavinia emerges from the hole and reunites with the others, realizing Elena has gone missing. Following a trail of blood, they ascend the staircase and find a dying Elena covered in blood. Lavinia recognizes fungus on Elena and says it was found on logs during the 18th century, with the wood being used to make Stradivarius violins. Kate resolves that the only way to rid the house of the curse is to use Paganini's piece as a weapon and plays it on her violin. However, when they attempt to escape the house, they find that the invisible barrier is still in place.

Kate decides the curse could be lifted by playing the piece backwards, but when Kate attempts this, the sheet music electrocutes Lavinia and bursts into flames. Lavinia is then trapped behind an invisible wall and crushed to death. Paganini emerges, stabbing Sylvia with his violin and sealing the unconscious Kate in an empty double bass case. As he plays his violin, Kate awakens inside the case, which catches on fire. The sun rises and emerges through the open window, reducing Paganini to dust and incinerating the sheet music.

Kate exits the house as Sylvia, thought to be dead, arrives by car and explains that, because Kate never played the piece backwards, Paganini's curse will continue. Pickett emerges from the car as Sylvia explains that she was the one who, as a child, murdered her mother in the house, and that she was condemned to relive the experience they just went through eternally. Pickett further explains that all visitors to the house have been condemned to Hell. As a new family arrives, Kate thinks she is free to go, but Pickett explains that he hates people who sell their souls for fame and success and stabs her to death.

A starving cat sees a sign that says "Ma's Place/Home Cooking/3 Miles." He rushes into town at once, but neglects to read the part that says that the town is full of 100 ghosts. One of the ghosts happens to be a mouse, who wants revenge on cats for tormenting him all his life. The mouse decides that the cat would make a perfect target for torment, and sets out to ruin his life. However, the cat is killed, turning him into a ghost, and the mouse flees the town.

A few weeks before his very glamorous wedding to a famous actress, a country music singer returns to the small town in Texas where he grew up to sell his family's old house. There, he meets his childhood friend, Sarah, a cowgirl who owns a small ranch. With her, he rediscovers the joy of the simple things in life that he had forgotten.

In 1950s Sophiatown, South Africa, a man forces his wife to treat her lover's suit as if it were a person, with tragic consequences.

The film opens with a prologue in which Spokes Mashiyane's "Come Back" plays from an old radio in a bedroom. In a montage of shots, a person dresses: a hand removes a suit from a cupboard, the same hand polishes shoes, brushes trousers, fastens cufflinks, buttons up a jacket and finally adjusts a tie.

Philemon, a middle-class lawyer awakens his sleeping wife Matilda, whom he calls Tilly, in their bedroom, with breakfast in bed. He is dressed in a suit and carries a fedora. The married couple lives in Sophiatown, a township of Johannesburg, in the early 1950s, shortly before the apartheid regime forcibly removed non-whites from the area to make way for white resettlement under the Group Areas Act and the Natives Resettlement Act, 1954. She kisses him and adjusts his tie as he tells her that he better go or he will be late for work. She kisses him again for longer, then he leaves the house. Matilda climbs out of bed and walks to the bedroom window, watching Philemon walk away, then she turns back and gazes at the empty, lonely house.

Philemon walks down a busy street as a caption appears on screen saying: Sophiatown, Johannesburg, 1955. At a bus-stop, under a sign that reads: Native Bus Stop, Philemon meets his old friend Mr. Maphikela who appears to be anxious because he drops his briefcase as Philemon attempts to shake his hand. Their bus arrives and the two men board. On the bus, Mr. Maphikela reluctantly informs Philemon that Matilda has been visited by a young man every morning for the last three months. Devastated, Philemon tells Maphikela that he has to go and he hurries off the bus as Maphikela tells him to keep steady. As Philemon alights from the bus, another passenger boards the bus. The white bus conductor yells at the passenger in colloquial Afrikaans: "Nie-blankes, upstairs!", which means: "Non-whites, upstairs!" because public amenities, like buses, were segregated under apartheid. As the bus pulls off, Maphikela watches Philemon marching past other pedestrians.

In a montage of shots, Matilda pours two glasses of whiskey, flirts and dances with a shirtless young man as Spokes Mashiyane's "Zoo Lake Jive" plays from a gramophone. In the same montage, Philemon marches through the streets of Sophiatown, loosening his tie aggressively and bumping into other pedestrians. The montage ends as Matilda kisses the young man and Philemon reaches the front door of his house. He opens the door, shuts it behind him, puts his briefcase down on the floor, then inhales deeply, gathering himself. Philemon walks deliberately to the bedroom where he discovers Matilda asleep in the arms of her lover.

Philemon's face fills with rage. He notices the lover's suit hanging on the cupboard door. Philemon controls his anger and ambles to the cupboard, searching through it. He pretends as if he has not noticed the lovers in bed, and tells Matilda that he was nearly at work when he realised that he had left his pass at home so he returned to fetch it. While saying so, Philemon drapes the lover's suit over his arm. Matilda and her lover wake with a start. The lover rushes to the window, completely naked, then leaps out of it, fleeing down the street. Philemon treads purposefully to the window, watching the man running away, then locks it. Philemon tells Matilda that he must phone his boss to let him know that he will not come in to work today as his wife is unwell. While Philemon phones his boss, Matilda dresses quickly in her nightgown and waits anxiously on the bed.

Philemon returns and regards the suit. He tells Matilda that he notices that they have a visitor. Philemon commands Matilda to treat the suit with the same hospitality that she would show to a guest: it will share meals with them, it will share their bedroom, it will go for walks with them, etc. If she refuses, he says that he will kill her.

For the first time in his life, Philemon goes to a shebeen (an illegal speakeasy). While Spokes Mashiyane's "Kwela Zulu" plays, the shebeen queen removes alcohol (the sale of which was prohibited to blacks) from below a trap-door in a side-room then brings a bottle to Philemon as he smokes. Philemon stays at the shebeen all day, leaving Matilda alone with her thoughts and fears. When Philemon returns, he finds that Matilda has cleaned and spruced up their dingy home. She even wears a beautiful new dress and has prepared dinner. Unmoved, Philemon scolds his wife: where is their visitor? Matilda retrieves the suit and prepares a plate of food for it. Philemon instructs her how she should place the suit at the table so that it becomes indeed the third person. Matilda is petrified and scurries about as he barks orders. While Philemon eats, Matilda edges towards the window and opens it to get some air. But Philemon walks up and locks it from behind her then orders her to return to the table while he finishes his meal. This is how it should be from now on, Philemon tells her. They wash their plates and cutlery at the kitchen sink in silence, the suit hanging on the wall beside Matilda. Later, in the sitting room, Matilda irons the suit as Philemon smokes ominously behind her.

On a Sunday, Philemon and Matilda walk to church. Matilda is deeply humiliated as she has to carry the suit slung over her shoulder. On the way, the couple walks past a wall on which a slogan has been painted: Ons Dak Nie, Ons Phola Hier, which is Tsotsitaal for We Won't Leave, We Are Staying Here. Philemon and Matilda enter the Anglican Church of Christ the King in Ray Street (which is incidentally the same street in which the writer Can Themba lived at Number 111). Above the altar is a conspicuous statue of a black Jesus. Philemon and Matilda are seated at a pew with the suit over the seat between them. Matilda's church friend arrives late with her husband and asks Matilda if they can sit beside her. Matilda looks to Philemon for permission but he glares at her. Matilda tells her church friend that someone else is seated there so her church friend tells her not to worry, that they will find seats elsewhere. After the service, Matilda's best friend Sane asks Matilda whether she will join her at choir practice from which she has been absent for a while. Matilda again looks to Philemon for permission and he says that he does not see why she should not go. Sane's husband Vuzi asks Philemon whether the suit that is slung over Matilda's shoulder is a new suit and compliments him by saying it looks stylish. Philemon scowls at Matilda as they leave the church.

Back home, Philemon reads in the sitting room. When Matilda attempts to sit beside him, he tells her to go put the fellow to rest, referring to the suit which she is carrying. Later, Philemon finds Matilda lying on the bed sobbing as she caresses the suit. He tosses some money at her and tells her to prepare a dinner for her friends because she should not mope around all day. But he reminds her to take the suit with her, which he sarcastically refers to as their visitor.

Matilda sings "Amazing Grace" with a choir of wives at the cultural club of the Anglican Mission. The suit hangs conspicuously on a hat stand beside them. The song continues over a montage of shots. Matilda goes to buy provisions for her dinner party. On her way home, carrying the suit, she walks past a political rally where the speaker calls the crowd to resist the forced removals by insisting that they will not move. The speaker shouts the popular Zulu and Xhosa rallying cry: Amandla! (The power!) and the crowd replies with the traditional: “Nghawethu!" (Is ours!).

As a turkey cooks in the oven, Matilda dances with the suit to Spokes Mashiyane's "Zoo Lake Jive". Knocks sound from the front door. Philemon yells from the sitting room that Matilda must get the door but she does not hear him above the music. Philemon continues to yell, but Matilda still does not hear him. Finally, Philemon storms into the room and Matilda bumps into him with a fright as the music stops suddenly. Matilda rushes to the front door and opens to see Sane, Vuzi and two other friends.

Matilda serves her friends turkey at the dinner table. Philemon demands that she fetches their guest of honour. Matilda begs him to let it go just this once but he raises his voice. Deeply humiliated, Matilda serves the suit a meal in front of her friends. Eventually, Vuzi asks what is going on. Philemon tells Vuzi to ask Matilda, as she "knows the fellow best". Matilda brushes it off by saying that it is just a silly game that she and her husband play at meal-times. The guests chuckle, but as Matilda continues to serve the suit a meal, the dinner continues with the proverbial awkward silence as Matilda's friends watch her with bewildered amusement. After the uncomfortable dinner, the friends decide to go to a local shebeen to dance. Matilda is about to follow them out of the house when Philemon steps in front of her and commands her to put the suit to bed. Philemon leaves with the friends, leaving Matilda standing alone in the doorway. As she presses the suit to her breast, we see her from behind in the empty entrance-way.

While Philemon dances with the friends at the smoky shebeen to the tune of Spokes Mashiyane's "Phatha Phatha", we return to the prologue in which a person dresses: a hand removes a suit from a cupboard, the same hand polishes shoes, brushes trousers, fastens cufflinks, buttons up a jacket. Finally, we realise that the person now fully dressed in the suit is in fact Matilda, though we do not see her face, and the tie is attached to the rafters of the bedroom. Back at the shebeen, Philemon is seated, contemplating his punishment of Matilda, as the music and sounds fade to a muffle. Gradually, Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" fades in as Philemon scratches his brow and the song continues to play as Philemon staggers home in the early hours of the morning. "Strange Fruit" was popular in Sophiatown at the time due to the gradual entrenchment of apartheid laws. Matilda steps up onto a crate, then kicks it out from underneath her and she hangs herself. Philemon enters the bedroom and falls to his knees below Matilda's hanging feet as he shouts her name repeatedly. "Strange Fruit" continues to play over the end credits of the film.

Penny Rust is a young small-time con artist who traps men into giving her money. Josephine Chesterfield is a young sophisticated con artist who cons the world's richest men out of their money. Their idol is the legendary unknown con artist Medusa.

The two con artists meet for the first time while travelling on the French Riviera. Not willing to take a chance with any competition, Josephine has Penny arrested, after which Josephine pays her bail and advises Penny to leave the country. Penny discovers that she was conned by Josephine but begs her to teach her her ways.

Josephine and Penny execute a complicated con act against multiple rich men called ''The Lord of the Rings'', stealing engagement rings. The plan works but Josephine refuses to pay Penny because she's an apprentice. Penny and Josephine wager Penny's entire net worth of $500,000 using billionaire Thomas Westerburg, the creator of a tech app called YaBurnt, as their victim.

Penny initially gains the upper hand by pretending to be blind, something that Thomas could relate to because his grandmother was also blind. Josephine, however, pretends to be a prominent eye doctor to "treat" Penny using unorthodox methods as a ruse to get close to Thomas. Penny uses sympathy gained by a few women at the club to have them ambush Josephine in the bathroom while she spends alone time with Thomas, but she learns that Thomas is not a billionaire and that he intends to use the last amount of his money for her instead.

She tells Josephine that the wager is off, having developed some feelings for him. Josephine changes the wager of stealing Thomas' money to stealing his feelings instead. To hold her up, Josephine tells the women Penny lied about being blind, and they glue her hand to the wall.

Josephine later shows up at Thomas' hotel room, attempting to seduce him. Penny breaks free from the wall and learns from a hotel server that Josephine never left his room, which makes her assume that they have had sex. The next morning, Thomas admits to Penny that he paid for her eye care, but he must leave France. Penny gives him $500,000 back and he leaves in a plane.

Josephine catches up to her, admitting that she and Thomas never had sex and that he conned her into investing $500,000 into his company. Penny realizes that she had also been conned by him; Thomas reveals via text that his grandmother was the original Medusa and he inherited her title, though his feelings for Penny were genuine.

A fortnight later, Penny is leaving Josephine's residence. Out of sympathy, Josephine gives her the money from their "Lord of the Rings" con acts. Their farewell is cut short when Thomas returns while in the middle of a con act against wealthy tourists in which he includes the two women.

''Tales of Zestiria the X'' takes place in a world where there are beings called Seraphim. Humans and Seraphim used to live together in harmony thousands of years ago. The humans prayed to the Seraphim, and in return the Seraphim blessed them. The Seraphim have magical powers and their own element to control. Earth, wind, water, or fire. There were thousands of Seraphim, but mankind was awash with terrible emotions, and could easily be overcome and turn into monsters. When Seraphim became too connected to a human, seeing their friend physically and mentally turn into a monster caused them to despair and their ephemeral forms were quickly turned into monsters as well. The monsters were created when an area was thick with negative emotions that created a dangerous byproduct called malevolence. Malevolence turns any weak or negative living creature into a monster. While Seraphim are turned into powerful dragons, all other living creatures are turned into monsters called Hellions when they are taken over by malevolence.

The Seraphim kept nature running smoothly and in balance, while a person called the Shepherd kept the malevolence at bay. The Shepherd is a regular person until they are able to pull a sacred sword from a stone. Then they become a living legend with the power to purify all Hellions. They can form contracts with Seraphim and combine their bodies so they can use their elemental powers to purify dangerous creatures. They can also form contracts with humans, who help carry the burden of malevolence. While forming contracts with Seraphim has no adverse consequences, humans are a different story. Should the Shepherd die, so will the humans that have a contract with him or her. Also, the more humans the Shepard has contracts with, the heavier the burden on the Shepherd. They can weigh him or her down and cause problems if there are too many.

All of this is a simple legend, of course, no one's seen a Shepherd or Seraphim in hundreds of years. The legend says, humans became too self-absorbed and malevolent and therefore lost the ability to see a Seraphim's ephemeral form. That all changes when a certain princess stumbles across a young man who's lived in a Seraphim village his entire life and can see, touch and talk to them just as easily as he does humans. He has a dream to create a world in which Seraphim and humans can coexist again, but he doesn't have the power to act on his desires. The world is falling into darkness and the malevolence that the humans are blissfully unaware of is dangerously close to destroying everyone. How will the princess and her new optimistic friend fair in this world of monsters and mayhem?

Act I

Autumn morning in the wide highlands of Finnmark. Dwarf birches and huge mossed rocks form the scenery. Just before the sunrise a young Lapp Mellet dressed in national summer garb, with a knife and a loop, sings about his love to Lajla, whose coming he awaits. As the song ends and the sun rises, he notices a man heading towards him. The stranger, a Norwegian, is looking for the tribe leader Laagje, of whom and his charming daughter Lajla he had heard much. Mellet warns Lind not to talk about the maiden, as she is already betrothed to someone. A pleasant song is heard from behind the scene: Lajla compares a dog catching game to a lad waiting for his beloved.

As she enters, the Norwegian gets impressed with her look, and she finds him daring and brave. The stranger names himself at last: Olav Lind, he came from the loveliest place in the Southern Norway, Ringerike near Tyrifjorden lake. Lajla wants to know more about his homeland, and he sings a song praising the great lake. She likes the poem, but Mellet aggressively inquires, what was the reason to leave such a marvellous place. Olav came to North to learn the sort of his uncle Thorolf Lind, who moved to these lands many years ago with wife and a child. He considers the whole family to be dead in misery. Lajla calls the old Jaampa to ask him about the cause, but he knows nothing. Together with Lind he sets out to meet Laagje.

Left alone with Lajla, Mellet tells her about his love. He reminds her that Laagje, Lajla's father, promised the girl to him. She says she was a child and asks him to free her from this pledge: she might love him one day, but for now he is just a friend. Mellet gets depressed and full of jealousy, for he saw her looks towards the ''daro'' (the Lapp name for a Norwegian). Lajla leaves angrily suggesting him to mind better his herd. Mellet takes up the idea and decides to protect his tribe from the stranger. He calls his friends, who promptly fill the stage, and tells them about the ''daro'' coming to tempt their maidens. In a solemn way they swear on a sacred Rune staff to kill Lind. The plan is to get him at the exit of Laagje's camp.

The whole company marches out, and Lajla appears from behind the rock, where she stayed secretly overhearing Mellet's speech. She is horrified and wishes to save the Norwegian. Soon he comes accompanied by Jaampa. Lajla asks the last to let them talk. She gives Lind a warning about Mellet's plot. The two confess their sympathy towards each other. Lind promises to assemble his faithful friends by the day of winter solstice and come with them to ask Laagje for her hand. Agrees the old man not, Lajla shall leave her tribe anyway. The shine of the aurora will give them a hope and a sign. But for now they need to separate.

Act II

A snow-covered marketplace with Lapp tents in the background and a church with a porch stretched to the marketplace. Winter noon. It is the last market day of the year, and the place is crowded with Norwegians and Lapps. The girls are flirting with the lads. The Norwegians perform a springdans, the Lapps sing a juoige. Slightly drunken Jaampa comes out and tells a hunting story about the wolf, whose fell he is wearing. Laagje announces Lajla and Mellet's wedding this evening and invites everybody to the feast. Everybody celebrates the couple and follows Laagje to the tents.

Only the old Jaampa is stopped by Lajla. She confides to him her love with the ''daro''. Jaampa hates that people, but he loves the maiden so much, and she begs so passionately, that he agrees to assist her. He is to find Lind in the nearby valley, where the Norwegian was seen the other day, and take him to the church before the ceremony is finished. In return, Lajla swears to rest faithful to her people even after her marriage to Lind. Jaampa departures.

It gets dark, the stars appear, and the majestic aurora fills the sky. Lajla gets on her knees and praises God asking him to have mercy in her. Mellet comes from one of the tents and says that the priest is here to marry them. Lajla explains again she feels nothing except sisterly love, but Mellet insists that the will of the tribe is to be obeyed. She has to wait the ''daro'' no more; if he appears, Mellet will kill him. They leave to different tents.

Lights in the church turn on. Soon enters Lajla in a bridal dress, surrounded by the Lapps decorating her. Both Lapps and Norwegians join the procession. The priest stays in the porch with Laagje and Mellet. The bells and organ are heard, and the crowd salutes the bride. A sudden cry interrupts the scene.

Jaampa steps in, with Lind and his armed men. They demand the priest to stop, as Lajla is Lind's bride. The young man asks Laagje to let him marry the girl. The Lapps and the Norwegians separate from each other and, despite the women's supplications, the men begin to fight. When the priest manages to stop them, Laagje asks for silence as he is ready to tell the truth about the past. The fact is, Lajla is not his daughter, and not a Lapp at all, she is the child of Thorolf Lind, whom Laagje found by the bodies of her parents. They died in a snow storm many years ago. Laagje approves Lajla's marriage to Lind, while Mellet needs to find another girl in his own tribe. Though the news hurts Mellet much, and the Lapps don't want her to leave, Lajla decides to go with Lind to his native Tyrifjorden. They praise the God, and the priest introduces them into the church.

Nick (David Giuntoli) meets with Hank (Russell Hornsby), who has returned from his vacation with his ex-wife. Hank has torn his Achilles tendon on a zip line. They hear gunshots across the street and Nick goes to investigate, finding an author dead and a man, Anton Cole (Brian Gant), shooting, trying to leave with a woman, Khloe Sedgwick (Nora Zehetner). Nick chases Anton but Anton jumps into a river, escaping.

Nick and the police question Khloe, who states that the author was her boyfriend and Anton is her ex. She then kisses Nick's hand in gratitude. Finding Anton's address, the police arrive and find he had an obsession with Khloe. Nick then gets a call from Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), who is inviting him to dinner, which he accepts. Nick visits Khloe to check on her and she kisses him, revealing she is a Wesen named Musai.

When Nick arrives for dinner with Juliette, it does not go well as Nick keeps thinking and having hallucinations of Khloe, prompting him to leave before eating. He goes with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), behaves out of character and then leaves to go to a bar. Monroe calls Hank to talk to Nick about it. Hank meets with Nick in the bar and finds Nick drawing an image of Khloe woged form. A person tries to take it, and Nick attacks him and leaves.

Monroe and Hank take Rosalee (Bree Turner) to the trailer in an attempt to find a cure for Nick. They find that the kiss of a Musai causes an addiction that could end with death. Past victims include Vincent van Gogh. The only cure may be true love. Anton makes a painting of Khloe in streets, dragging Nick's attention. Juliette arrives at the spice shop and meets Rosalee and Monroe, stating she now believes Nick's claims of the Wesen world and the Grimms and asks for explanations.

Mikura Amelia runs an air delivery service with her grandfather in Izu Ōshima, Japan. After finding out that he has died, she discovers his journals about "Electric Island" left for her and a package for her to deliver there. The entries are written into the future and provide Mikura with instructions on how to locate the island, which doesn't have a fixed location. After three days, she manages to find the island using wave radar, but upon going in for a landing, falling debris from a burning building causes her to crash. Mikura is rescued, but the island is gone.

Mikura resolves to find Electric Island again, neglecting her sleep and deliveries to the point of losing electricity in her house. Based on the journals, she learns that the island moves around cyclically over a period of approximately three years. She also receives the notes of Ryugo, her former teacher and a geophysicist who worked with her grandfather to study the island. She believes that Ryugo, who was lost at sea in a typhoon six years ago, and her grandfather both attempted to reach Electric Island. As the day of the cycle approaches again, Mikura finds out that her cell phone from the crash was found by a dolphin, who is being tracked by a researcher. Determining that the island must have brought it back, she uses the tracking data to locate the island and prepares to set out for it.

Jack Ryan Jr. is on a forced leave from The Campus after disobeying orders in his last mission (depicted in ''Commander in Chief''). One night outside a market in Alexandria, Virginia, he survives a mugging attack by fighting back; the wounded mugger later stumbles into an eight-wheeler truck, killing him. Ryan investigates the circumstances behind the incident using clues left behind by his attacker, and is later convinced that he is being targeted for assassination when he finds out that another man similar to his description was killed a week ago.

Over the course of his investigation, Ryan meets Effrem Likkel, a Belgian freelance journalist who is following up on a lead about seemingly missing French soldier René Allemand. Allemand, son of a former Marshal of France, had disappeared from his post in Ivory Coast. Likkel, however, finds out that he was kidnapped and thinks that he was brainwashed afterwards. Moreover, he reveals that Allemand and Jack’s would-be assassin, now known as Eric Schrader, had met in secret a week before the Lyon terrorist attacks, and further deduces that Allemand was duped by Schrader to carry out the attacks. Ryan and Likkel later team up to aid each other in their own investigations.

The two travel to Munich, Germany and find out that Schrader is an employee of Jürgen Rostock, head of private military contractor Rostock Security Group. They find themselves attacked by Rostock’s men at every turn, but Ryan and Likkel manage to thwart them. They later venture to Zurich, Switzerland, originally to surveil Rostock’s lawyer Alexander Bossard, but instead find Allemand there. They conclude that Allemand was indeed brainwashed into working for Rostock by kidnapping him and faking his death. The now-erratic Allemand, suffering from the effects of Rostock’s brainwashing, was on the run from Rostock when he finds out that Schrader was involved in the Lyon attacks.

Ryan later informs Allemand’s father about his son. Hugo Allemand reveals that Rostock became deeply Islamophobic after the death of his wife at the hands of a suicide bomber in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2005, when he was a government official. He later retired from public service and formed RSG, with a mission to eliminate terrorists by “any means necessary” and outside the scope of government oversight. He had pitched his idea to the elder Allemand, who declined.

Ryan, Likkel, and Allemand later go to Namibia to follow Gerhard Klugmann, Rostock’s main hacker. Ryan finds out that Rostock wanted Ryan killed because his audit for Dovestar Industrial Machinery, one of RSG’s shell companies, triggered an investigation from German financial regulatory authority BaFin; his scheduled testimony in the German court would expose Dovestar’s true purpose. Moreover, he and Likkel find out that RSG has been engaging in direct action sabotage on behalf of economic corporations in order to gain favor for funding its operations.

Later, when Allemand is informed by Ryan about their investigation and Rostock's involvement, he storms out of the country and back to Zurich, intent on torturing Bossard for information about his plight. Ryan chases the French mercenary to Switzerland, and coaxes him back to reality. They leave Bossard and his wife at their home and return to Namibia, where they find out that Likkel was abducted.

The two eventually save Likkel, who tells them that RSG are planning to sabotage the flow control system at Okavango Dam. Even though they capture Klugmann and kill some of the RSG mercenaries there, they fail to stop the computer virus planted by Klugmann from obstructing the dam, which claims the lives of 322 Namibian residents living nearby. Nevertheless, with Allemand rescued, Rostock was later convicted for his crimes and his company was dissolved. Invigorated by his experience handling Likkel and Allemand, Ryan contacts his boss Gerry Hendley about returning to The Campus.

Hank (Russell Hornsby) discovers that Mulpus had a death certificate signed just three days ago. He and Nick talk to the doctor who signed the certificate, who claims that he was officially pronounced dead but gets shocked when he finds out that the corpse is not in its place. Nick notices there's a man with a top hat (Reg E. Cathey) following them. Dr. Harper (Sharon Sachs) is about to perform surgery on the dead woman when she suddenly awakes and her body later disappears.

Juliette decides to go with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) to find what Nick was trying to show her the night she lost her memories. At first hesitation, he along with Bud (Danny Bruno) take her to the spice shop. After a debate with Rosalee (Bree Turner), they finally agree to woge into their respective Wesen in front of her. Renard's (Sasha Roiz) spy notifies him that Frau Pech has told him that someone else is carrying Royal blood, convincing Renard that the baby would be sold and he would offer money for the baby.

Finding that the man in the top hat took the woman, Nick and Hank discover he is a Cracher-Mortel. This Wesen have a spit that can make a deathlike experience, like a zombie. In a bus, the man woges and kills many people, planning to make an army of zombies. Eric arrives at Portland, calling Renard to taunt him. He then meets with Baron, who is revealed to be the man with the top hat. The episode ends with a title reading, "To be continued".

The narrative is based on two historic facts: one, the Victoria hotel in Amsterdam, opposite the Central Station, has two nineteenth-century houses incrusted in its facade. Two, the pharmacist Anijs in Hoogeveen was known for his commitment to improve the lives of a group of families of dirt-poor peat-cutters.

The main character, Walter Vedder, a violin maker, was in the 1880s the owner of one of the houses opposite the Central Station. Aware of his strong position to negotiate, he demands a fortune for his property. Together with his cousins Christian Anijs in Hoogeveen and Al Vedder in the United States, he develops the idea to use this fortune to offer the poor peat-cutters the opportunity to emigrate to the United States. Public works such as in this case the construction of a railway station, can have unforeseen an unwanted effects on the lives of people but the cousins have the noble intention to achieve social justice on their own.

Tragedy is inevitable since the developers are not willing to pay Vedder's price. The poor families from the peatlands embark on an ill-advised journey but are saved by a surprising element of culture that the cousins did not value.

Rikutaro Maehara lives alone with his mother Yayoi in Kawaguchi, Saitama. Yayoi is a hostess at a hostess club. Rikutaro's father, who was an iron founder, died some years ago. When his mother marries Kon Nishino, a divorced man whom she met at the hostess club, Rikutaro suddenly finds himself with a new father, as well as with a sister, Mariko.

As the house is small, the children have to share a room, a situation neither of them is happy with. Since Mariko is of the same age as Rikutaro she is put in the same class at primary school. There they are teased by some of their classmates, who call Mariko Rikutaro's 'fake sister' and his 'new wife' as, because of their parents' marriage, they now share the same surname. Embarrassed, the children decide to engineer a divorce between Yayoi and Kon, to which purpose they sign a pact drawn up by Mariko. First they try to persuade Kon that the marriage was a bad idea by spoiling the food and suggesting that the ghost of Rikutaro's father might be haunting the house. When this fails, Mariko puts on lipstick and kisses her father's shirt so as to suggest that he is having an affair. Yayoi sees Mariko with the lipstick, however, and then helps her apply another colour that 'suits her more'. She subsequently gives Mariko the lipstick.

Gradually, the children begin to bond. Rikutaro shows Mariko the Shinto Shrine in Kanayama-cho where he and his father used to pray to the Kami of metal production, and takes her to the foundry where his father used to work. There, he introduces her to Takashi Iizuka, who was one of his father's colleagues, and gives her a piece of iron from the foundry that he polished. Mariko's kiss on Kon's shirt proves to have been prophetic, however. Kon, who has found a job at a real estate agent, starts staying away until late at night, leaving the children to their own devices. The film heavily implies that he is having an affair with a colleague from work. Yayoi, however, only finds out that Kon does not come home after work when Mariko comes down with a fever and Rikutaro calls her at the hostess club, not knowing what to do, and unable to reach Kon.

Kon refuses to tell Yayoi what he does at night, claiming that 'she would not understand'. The children briefly run away together, to one of Mariko's favourite childhood spots. There, she reveals to Rikutaro that a letter in which her biological mother promises to visit her was actually written by herself. The children then share another moment of bonding, pretending that they can enter different worlds by running through a tunnel. The last world they visit is one in which they have grown up and 'do not have to be alone'. When Yayoi and Kon find the children, Yayoi shows her relief at having found them, while Kon only scolds his daughter. On the busride home, Mariko refers to Yayoi as 'mother' for the first time.

Soon afterwards, a row takes place between Kon and Yayoi. Seemingly wanting to leave the house, Kon, who has been drinking, tries to pull Mariko out of her bed. Mariko tells her father that he is hurting her, and both children shout our for Yayoi, referring to her as 'mother'. When Yayoi tries to help Mariko, Kon roughly pushes her against the cupboard. Alerted by the neighbours, the police come. Yayoi tells them it was nothing, and eventually they leave. Mariko, however, shouts that Yayoi was hurt by her father.

In the last scene, Kon packs up his car and drives away with Mariko, who is holding the lipstick Yayoi gave her and the piece of iron that she was given by Rikutaro. When Kon asks her what she is looking at her answer is 'her family'.

The series follows four seniors, who share a house in Tel Aviv. The house owner is Dalia (Hana Laszlo), and with her live Ruti Golan (Miki Kam) and Shosh Ben-Basat (Tiki Dayan). In the first episode Ruti's mother, Riva Glambush (Rivka Michaeli) joins in living with the women after her nursing home was burned. In the series, the women deal with different things.

The episode opens with Connie (Grace Rolek) arriving at Steven (Zach Callison)'s house for training, distracted and in a bad mood. Steven and Connie go to the Sky Arena to practice fighting while fused as Stevonnie (AJ Michalka), under the supervision of Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) and Garnet (Estelle).

Stevonnie's first practice fight is interrupted when a vision of a boy causes them to panic and defuse. Connie confesses that the boy is a classmate she accidentally beat up after bumping into him at school. Steven tells her that when you hurt someone by accident you just have to "try not to think about it"; but Garnet decides to educate them on healthier ways of dealing with difficult emotions.

On the beachside, Garnet tells the two that an emotional imbalance causes a fusion to lose touch with reality; if one of them is falling apart, their fusion will as well. She leads Stevonnie in a guided meditation, singing the song "Here Comes a Thought". The song encourages Stevonnie to mindfully pay attention to and contextualize their emotions: "Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust." The process of dealing with emotions is visualized by scenes of Ruby and Sapphire, and then Connie and Steven, being overwhelmed by swarms of butterflies, but helping each other to drive them off or accept them.

The next day, Connie returns for training, having made amends with the boy she beat up. Stevonnie performs well in practice battles until they again begin to have visions driven by guilt and anxiety. This time, the guilt is Steven's; they see images of Bismuth, Jasper, and Eyeball, three recent adversaries with whom Steven, despite his best efforts, was unable to make peace. The cloud of butterflies then takes the shape of a stern and disapproving-looking Rose Quartz. Overwhelmed, Stevonnie falls from the Sky Arena.

As they fall, Steven and Connie split again. Connie calls for Steven to fuse so they can float to the ground, but Steven is too wrapped up in guilt to pay attention. Connie tells Steven that he has to be honest with himself about how bad he feels in order for him to move on. Accepting this, Steven fuses with Connie once again and Stevonnie regains stability, managing to safely float down. Stevonnie falls to the ground laughing in relief, and contently proclaims, "I'm here".

The story focuses on a suburban family in Brussels in the 1960s.

18-year-old Mary Katherine "Merricat" Blackwood lives on the family estate with her older sister Constance and their ailing uncle Julian. Constance has not left the house in the six years since she was tried and acquitted of the death of her parents by poisoning. Every Tuesday, Merricat goes to the village to shop while the villagers harass her. Merricat practices her own brand of protective magic by burying articles of power in the ground to keep evil forces at bay and protect Constance. It's unclear whether this power is real, or imaginary.

Constance sees only a single family friend, Helen Clarke, who comes to tea every week. Helen tries to convince Constance that she should rejoin the outside world. This enrages and terrifies Merricat, who creates magic to prevent Constance from leaving. On Thursday, Constance sends Merricat on an errand to town. Merricat is distressed at the thought of going into town on the wrong day and has no time to check her magical safeguards. When she returns, she finds all her wards have been unearthed. Before she can warn her sister, she is introduced to their estranged cousin, Charles.

Over the next few days, Charles attempts to lure Constance away with the promise of seeing the world while setting his sights on the family fortune, locked in a safe. Constance is charmed and subservient toward him. However, Charles behaves condescendingly to Julian and taunts Merricat with the idea of stealing her sister. Merricat retaliates by casting magical spells on Charles, vandalizing his room and belongings, and speaking to him only in descriptions of poisonous plants. When Charles threatens to punish her, Merricat throws everything on his desk, including his lit pipe, into a wastebasket. Charles beats her until he discovers that his room is on fire.

The fire department arrives, along with the villagers, who call to let the house burn. Constance and Merricat hide downstairs as the fire is extinguished. The villagers rush into the house and vandalize it. The mob seems ready to attack the sisters, but Helen Clarke's husband announces that Uncle Julian has died of smoke inhalation. The mob disperses, and the sisters take refuge in the woods.

The following morning, the sisters return home and barricade the doors and windows. With the upper floors destroyed, the remains resemble a turreted castle. Merricat announces that she intends to poison the whole village; Constance reveals that this is what Merricat did once before to their parents and expresses gratitude that Merricat saved her from their wicked father. The villagers leave gifts of food at their door and apologize for destroying their property, but the sisters never respond. Charles returns, begging Constance to let him in. When they remain silent, Charles enters the house by force and attacks Constance. Merricat bludgeons him to death with a snow globe, and they bury him in the garden.

In the present, the sisters are cleaning what remains of their house when two village children arrive to taunt them. Merricat steps outside, and the children flee in fear. Constance tells Merricat that she loves her, and Merricat, for the first time in the film, smiles.

A heart-breaking romantic tale, which starts with Jun-ho, breaking up with his girlfriend Xiaoyou, since he wants to return to Italy to learn opera, supposedly his childhood dream. The movie starts with a scene in which Jun-ho shows his tickets to all the friends gathered at a party. Xiaoyou tries to persuade him not to go. After a bitter fight, Jun-ho breaks up with her and flies back the same night.

The first half of the movie concentrates on Xiaoyou having to deal with the breakup as she struggles with both emotional and work pressure. She and Jun-ho had been working as interior designers at a firm in Shanghai. They met in the university and eventually fell in love with each other. Jun-ho, a Korean student who was raised by his elder sister in Italy, comes to study and work in Shanghai. After an incident, Jun-ho finds out that he has brain cancer and has only 6 months to live. He finally makes up his mind to break up with Xiaoyou, rather than let her see him die. After 3 months, when Xiaoyou still cannot forget him, he fakes his death in Italy with the help of his elder sister and arranges a funeral, so that Xiao You can finally move on in her life. But things only get worse for Xiao You, as she gets more emotionally attached to him after his death.

Her neighbour, Tian Bo, tries to save her from an accident, creating a friendship. However, Xiaoyou's memories of Jun-ho grow only stronger day by day. His unfinished work at a bar keeps her going. Every night, strangely though, her work seems to be completed by some goodwill stranger. She starts communicating with this stranger through smileys drawn on the wall. While Xiao You doesn't know the identity of the stranger, it is revealed that the person working on the bar at night is none other than Jun-ho, who, with the help of his ex-employer Mr. Ma, secretly tries to fulfill his promise of "never letting her go". Jun-ho's health condition worsens and he is admitted to the hospital for a major surgery, after which he realizes that he might die anytime soon. At his request for one last time, Jun-ho, in disguise as a bear, makes her smile again, with a hug.

The film ends with Xiaoyou visiting Jun-ho's elder sister in Italy after a year, paying her last respects at his grave and listening to all the daily logs he had made watching her every step and caring for her by staying in an apartment just above hers. Hence, the title "Never Said Goodbye."

Danielle Richard (Macha Grenon), is the newly elected president of Besco. She wants to renegotiate the deal that her predecessors struck with the Canadian government as she finds the terms unfavourable. Additionally the Canadian government has not been adhering to the terms that they had previously agreed to. The two parties meet in secret in a school gym to hash out a deal, with mediator Emily Price (Emily VanCamp) assigned to stay neutral.

Initially progress seems to be being made; the Canadian delegation offers to help subsidize some of the costs of mining and environmental protection and offer to help put pressure on the Canadian mining company, Sherman, to help the Besco government. However they abruptly pull out of negotiations and Torpe, the lead Canadian delegate tells president Richard that she must grant Sherman the rights to the mine or Canada will never agree to looser restrictions that will let Besco expand their fishing industry.

Isabelle Fortier is a young girl who develops a relationship and becomes engaged to a man, with whom she shares a cocaine habit. Their relationship deteriorates. Taking the pseudonym Cynthia, Isabelle becomes a prostitute. She receives rave online customer reviews, from clients who praise her for her physical features, service and aptitude in various sex acts. She begins to write about her experiences, submitting her first novel under the pen name Nelly Arcan to an editorial committee, who regard it with a combination of shock and interest. The publisher Mathieu travels to Montreal to meet her, inquiring if the stories contained in the novel are autobiographical. Initially questioning the importance of the novel's truthfulness, Nelly replies the stories are a combination of reality and invention. She also lies and says she is 26, as she had always wished to be published before turning 30.

The novel exceeds the bestseller benchmark of 5,000 sales, with 30,000 copies sold in Quebec and France. Nelly receives critical acclaim and is nominated for prestigious European literary awards. At the same time, she is conflicted about the exposure, feeling as if she lost something with the publication of the novel. Her adoring public is intrigued and eager to learn more about whether the stories she tells are true, while she becomes panicked that her next book may not sell or may be a critical failure. One reader inquires about an episode in her work where a prostitute jumps from a building to escape a violent client, which Nelly had extracted from a dream, and questions her about her later books falling in sales.

In confession, Nelly speaks of how everything in her life seems to be killing her, and questions if Nelly Arcan or Isabelle Fortier is the real mask. She finally commits suicide after three books have been published, with a fourth published posthumously.

'''Opening quote:''' "And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Eric (James Frain) meets with the Baron (Reg E. Cathey) to discuss their move. Eric then lets him spit his substance on one of his bodyguards, severely beginning his transformation into a zombie. Baron then makes a ritual to lead all the zombies to Portland. Nick's (David Giuntoli) and Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) relationship begins to build up now that she knows about the Grimm world.

Renard (Sasha Roiz) is told by his informant that Eric possessed death certificates and passports. In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is knocked unconscious by Frau Pech (Mary McDonald-Lewis), who uses a potion to impersonate her appearance. Nick and Wu (Reggie Lee) are called to a building where the zombies were sent. Nick is attacked by a zombie driver, Al (Timothy Whitcomb), whom he knocks unconscious. He and Hank (Russell Hornsby) take Al to the spice shop, where Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) state that to cure him, they have to stimulate the central nervous system through the use of a substance.

Eric meets with Renard to discuss his mother and asks Renard to come with him to Europe. While inspecting a car that was left in the road, Nick senses something and notices containers at the port. Stefania (Shohreh Aghdashloo) meets with "Adalind", and then explains that, for their purposes, they will take Frau Pech's heart. Stefania and her henchmen knock out "Adalind" and take her heart from the stomach. Adalind returns to her normal form, certain that her powers are back.

The antidote works and Al is restored to normal, but he can't remember what happened while he was in that state but he remembers that a man with a top hat may be responsible. Adding that his car was found near containers, Nick deduces that the zombies could be being kept on the harbor. They decide to go to the harbor to give them the antidote but not before Nick gives Rosalee the key to hide. Nick, Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette arrive at the harbor and Baron begins opening containers, unleashing the zombies onto them.

Rosalee manages to give the antidote to some zombies but as there are too many, they are forced to escape. Nick then hears Baron and decides to go after him on the top of a container. They fight on it until both fall inside the container. Baron flees and Nick finds a coffin with a passport for a man named "Thomas Schirach" and a picture of himself. Baron then appears and spits his substance onto him. Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette are forced to flee when the zombies surround them. Eric arrives at the container with Baron where they are planning on transporting the coffin, which contains Nick in a coma while he is becoming a zombie. The episode ends with a card reading, "To be continued... Oh come on, You knew this was coming."

In a voice-over, Tarik, Ismail's son, comes home from abroad to visit his parents' home in Sivas. When he comes back to Sivas to receive his father's blessing, Ismail decides to have a wedding for his son; as the village tradition is for a man to have his son circumcised, joined the Turkish Army, and give his son a wedding.

Ismail takes it as a matter of pride that the wedding is big and grand, and makes magnificent wedding plans with his odd-ball friends: Tüpçü Fikret (a "gas-man" owner), Çetin (a boxing instructor to children), and the teacher of the village (Saffet). They have ten days to make the wedding happen.

Fikret said he has an old Army friend who now owns a ritzy hotel that they can host the wedding at, but it does not go as planned. Saffet claims to be related to a Turkish star, Emel Sayın and can get her for the wedding entertainment, but she ignores his calls; and Çetin volunteers his old mother to make the dresses and food, but each assigned task by the four friends fall through one-by-one; including a scheme that involves the village conman, Yılmaz, making fake currency.

However, Ismail's wife, Hatice and the other women of the village all come together after the friends realize that they need help. Hatice also persuades Ismail to invite his estranged older brother to the wedding, despite having a falling out with each other. The preparations for the wedding starts at the center of the village, with everyone helping out as a community.

On the wedding day, Ismail requests a camel for the bride, Marika, to ride on, as he says it's part of the village tradition, so Yılmaz gets a camel somehow to the surprise of everyone. The camel takes off with the bride though, and gets accidentally knocked out when she falls off of it.

The men bring the unconscious Marika back to the wedding celebration, where they hide her away from the guests and the groom. The wedding ceremony is about to begin and Marika is still unconscious, so Yılmaz wears her gown and veil to pretend to be the bride, because he's the only one who fits in the dress.

All is going well until Ismail's brother dies after eating a piece of Çetin's cake that he made. He gets carried into the same room that Marika is in, as does his deceased wife, who also drops dead after learning from Saffet that her husband just died. Çetin wonders if his cake is poisonous because two people died after eating it.

Marika's friend/bridesmaid calls her boyfriend, Victors, in Latvia to tell him everything worked out as planned, and it is revealed that Marika is actually engaged to someone else and eloped with Tarik instead. The real fiance and Marika's brothers goes to Sivas to bring Marika back.

Upon finding out what happened, Yılmaz, Tarık and the bridesmaid escapes the wedding when the group shows up. Yilmaz reveals his identity, which causes the bridesmaid to start freaking out and Yılmaz knocks her unconscious; eventually the three of them are able to escape the group when Çetin shows up and beats everyone up with his boxing skills.

They return to the celebration, now with two unconscious women and two dead bodies in a room, and Yılmaz in a wedding gown. Hatice shows up and deduces everything that has happened and tells everyone to handle it and not cause a scene in front of the guests.

The police arrive because of Yılmaz's fake currency, which Ismail had thrown out to the children during the wedding celebration. Everyone is taken in for questioning and Tarık reads out bits of his statements, which is the voice-over in the beginning of the movie.

The movie ends with Ismail saying goodbye to Tarık and handing him an envelope with money, telling him to have another wedding since the one Ismail gave him was such a disaster. He also gives him the key to his lime green car. They embrace each other and Tarık and his friends drive off.

The story takes place before Sister Bear was born and Brother Bear was the only cub on the block. During fall, when he isn't playing with his friends down by the bog, he enjoys asking Papa different questions about life. Papa, although he has no idea how to answer most of his son's questions, plays along anyway. As Fall transitions to Winter, the cycle of questions continues.

During the long cold winter, no one has any explanation for why it doesn't seem (to want) to end. Both Mama and Papa are especially anxious for Spring, as they had a special Easter surprise planned, which neither of them care to disclose (although Brother Bear does notice that he can't sit on Mama's lap anymore, and it's not simply because he's getting bigger or taller). When Brother asks about Easter, Papa tells him all about candy and the Easter Bunny, but Mama sings about new life and miracles.

The family decides to pay Boss Bunny, Bear Country's official Easter Bunny responsible for the beginning of spring, a visit. However, to their shock, they find out that he has quit. Papa, while initially just as depressed as Brother is about the loss of Easter, decides to be the Easter Bunny ("I'll Be the Easter Bunny/If You Want Something Done, Then Do it Yourself") and create his own candy and egg factory, but it ultimately ends in disaster.

Brother eventually decides to take matters into his own hands and begins a search to find Boss Bunny on his own. He encounters his friend Bill Bunny, who turns out to be Boss Bunny's son. Bill takes him to a hidden spot no bear has ever been before, and the two then enter the (abandoned and in a dilapidated state) Easter Factory and find Boss Bunny who is asleep. They ask him to resume his duties of bringing spring and Easter back, but he complains that the workload, responsibility of transitioning the seasons has become too much for him to handle in his old age, and he is simply too burnt out to continue. Despite Brother's pleading, Boss refuses to reconsider until he sees the Great Spring Rainbow, which relieves his ailments, revives his energy, and immediately puts his factory back in business.

On Easter morning, Brother finds his Easter candy, but Mama has an additional Easter surprise for him. Baby Sister Bear. When Brother asks where she came from, Papa is left speechless, but Mama reminds Brother about the miracle of new life (and Brother quickly notices that he can sit on Mama's lap again).

Papa Bear learns from the newspaper about Little League baseball tryouts taking place in Bear Country. Elated at the idea of Brother Bear becoming a baseball star, Papa enrolls Brother in the tryouts despite Brother's indifference towards Little League. By contrast, Sister shows enthusiasm, talent, and passion for the game but is overlooked by Papa, who believes that she is better suited to activities more typical of girls her age. Even Mama, who is supportive of Sister's interest in the game, laments that girls not being allowed to play baseball is "the way it's always been." Nevertheless, Sister, defiant towards the idea that her gender should limit her future pursuits, continues to display great interest in baseball.

While Papa tries to teach Brother a baseball lesson, Brother’s friends invite him to go play with them in the woods. A suspicious Papa secretly follows Brother into the woods, where it is revealed that Brother, his friends, and several other cubs who were in line for the Little League tryouts, are playing their own baseball game solely for fun. Papa realizes that he had been focusing too much on competition and helps train Brother and the cubs without the pressure he had put on Brother. Papa also allows Sister to join the practise sessions, where she turns out to be an excellent player.

August "Auggie" Pullman is a 10-year-old boy living in a brownstone in Brooklyn with his mother Isabel, father Nate, older sister Olivia ("Via"), and dog Daisy. He was born with the rare medical facial deformity "mandibulofacial dysostosis", and has undergone 27 different surgeries in order to help him see, smell, speak, and hear.

Auggie has been home-schooled, but as he approaches fifth grade, his parents decide to enroll him in Beecher Prep private middle school. Before the school year begins, Auggie meets with Mr. Tushman, the principal, who arranges a tour for him with three other students: Jack Will, Julian Albans, and Charlotte Cody. When school starts, he is ostracized, but soon forms a close friendship with Jack.

For Halloween, Auggie dresses in a Ghostface mask and cloak from last year when Daisy accidentally ruins the Boba Fett costume he was planning to wear. Auggie walks through school upbeat and confident due to the anonymity his costume affords him. However, as Auggie enters his homeroom, he overhears Jack, who fails to recognize him, joining Julian and his friends in making fun of him behind his back by saying that "he would kill himself if he looked like Auggie." Becoming distraught and ill, Isabel abandons her mother-daughter day with Via to bring Auggie home. Though she is hurt, Via convinces him to go trick-or-treating with her and talks him out of dropping out of school, as she has been rejected by her best friend Miranda.

Auggie forms a new friendship with a girl named Summer, confiding in her about his split with Jack. When Jack asks Summer why Auggie is avoiding him, she only gives Jack the clue "Ghostface". In science class, realization dawns on Jack, and he resolves to partner with Auggie instead of Julian for the science fair. When Julian confronts Jack in the hallway and calls Auggie a "freak", they begin fighting, which is broken up by Mr. Browne and another teacher. After suspending Jack for two days, Mr. Tushman reads Jack's letter about defending Auggie. Jack apologizes to him via Minecraft and they reconcile.

Meanwhile, Via signs up for Drama Club after meeting a theater student named Justin, with whom she soon begins a romantic relationship. She is selected as Miranda's understudy for the lead role in the school's production of ''Our Town'', but on opening night, when Justin tells Miranda that Via's family is in attendance after she tells him that her family is not, Miranda feigns illness to let Via take her place. Via gives a moving performance that earns her a standing ovation, and she and Miranda reconcile.

Auggie's popularity and circle of friends grow bigger over time, especially after he and Jack win the science fair, but he continues to be harassed by Julian and his friends until Mr. Browne notices. Mr. Tushman later confronts Julian and his parents with the evidence, including hate notes and a class picture with Auggie photoshopped out. Julian's mother admits that she edited Auggie out of the picture and defends her son’s actions, asserting that the students should not be exposed to Auggie. Despite her threats to pull their funding from the school, Mr. Tushman suspends Julian for two days, causing him to miss an upcoming nature retreat. As they leave, Julian becomes distraught when his parents pull him out of the school, declaring he will not be back in the fall. Julian apologizes to Mr. Tushman, who accepts.

At the nature retreat, Auggie and Jack are ambushed by a trio of seventh graders from another school, but Julian's friends rally and defend them. Auggie becomes more accepted by his classmates afterwards. At the year-end graduation ceremony, Auggie thanks Isabel for taking him to school. She tells him "you really are a wonder, Auggie." Auggie is given the Henry Ward Beecher Medal for his strength and courage, and receives a standing ovation from the crowd. As the movie ends with the crowd cheering for Auggie, he finishes the story delivering a voiceover narration telling the viewers, and quoting the last precept Mr. Browne gave in class, "Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. And if you really want to see what people are, all you have to do is look."

John Grant is a young, bonded schoolteacher who has been assigned to work a gruelling two-year post as the schoolmaster of Tiboonda, an isolated, three-building township in the outback of western New South Wales. Upon finishing school in time for the six-week Christmas holiday season, Grant catches a train to the mining town of Bundanyabba – known by the locals as "The Yabba" – to await a flight home to Sydney, where he hopes to spend his vacation swimming at the nearby beach. While passing time in a pub, Grant encounters the local policeman, Jock Crawford, with whom he drinks several glasses of beer and visits the local two-up school to get dinner. Deciding to try his luck at the game, Grant makes two hundred pounds in a winning streak, but in a bid to win enough money to pay off his bond and impress Robyn – a wealthy and attractive woman he briefly encountered in Sydney – he loses all but two shillings of his cash in two rounds, leaving him without means of buying a plane ticket.

The next morning, Grant visits another pub, where he is befriended by mining director Tim Hynes, who invites him to have dinner with his wife and their adult daughter, Janette, and drink with two of his colleagues, boxers-turned-miners Dick and Joe. During the night, Janette attempts to seduce the virgin Grant, who drunkenly vomits during the encounter. He awakens the following afternoon in the ramshackle cabin of "Doc" Tydon, a vagrant medical practitioner, war veteran and associate of the Hynes. Grant quickly takes a disliking to Doc when he expounds upon his open relationship with Janette. They are joined by Dick and Joe in a violent, drunken kangaroo hunt that rages into the night. Upon awakening the next morning, Grant faintly recalls being on the receiving end of a homosexual encounter initiated by Doc.

Taking the rifle gifted to him by Dick and Joe and leaving Doc's cabin, he is encountered by Crawford in the street, who returns his belongings that were left behind during his rendezvous with the Hynes. Resolving to hitchhike to Sydney, Grant buys some provisions and begins walking eastward through the desert, and is eventually driven to the town of Yelonda. At a truck depot near a hotel, he notices a truck bearing the word "Sydney". Interpreting this as the driver's destination, he successfully convinces the driver to give him a lift; although he offers his rifle and ammunition as payment, the driver allows him to keep the former. After a shorter-than-expected drive through the night, Grant realises that they have returned to The Yabba; the "Sydney" markings simply referred to where the driver acquired his truck.

Realising that he has no further means of leaving The Yabba and that his own actions – beginning with his initial encounter with Crawford – have led to his continued suffering and demise, Grant descends into a stupor of self-loathing and collapses in a nearby park, where he discovers that he has one remaining bullet for his rifle. After considering his options, he shoots himself in the head, the impact of which scars but fails to kill him. Grant spends the remainder of his holiday recovering in hospital, where he signs a statement from Crawford explaining that his suicide attempt was an accident, and briefly encounters Janette working as a nurse. After receiving a twenty pound loan from an almoner to pay for his hospital fee and promising to himself to "never get drunk again... except in good company", he returns to Tiboonda to begin the new school year. As he prepares to greet Charlie, the local hotelier and publican, Grant thinks to himself:

'''Opening quote:''' "But if I stand at the sick person's feet, he is mine."

15 minutes before the ending of the last episode, Eric (James Frain) leaves his hotel room to meet with Baron (Reg E. Cathey). He doesn't know that he is being followed by Renard (Sasha Roiz), who follows him to the harbor. In the harbor, while trying to flee in Nick's Toyota Landcruiser, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) gets the SUV stuck so that he, Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) are forced to flee on foot.

Renard arrives later and while inspecting a container, is attacked by two zombies. Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette get on the top of a container to fight the zombies that are beginning to reach them. Juliette calls Hank (Russell Hornsby) to send help, prompting him to send Wu (Reggie Lee) and a unit to go to the area. The police help Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette to escape from the zombies while Renard kills his attackers using his Wesen form.

Realizing the Baron is planning to take Nick (David Giuntoli) to Vienna on a private plane, Hank calls airport officers to stop the flight. However, the Baron uses his powers to spit on them, starting their transformation into zombies and flees. Renard, Hank, Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette get to the airport but they are too late as the plane already left and as the plane will cross international waters, there's no justification to stop the flight. In the plane, the Baron is celebrating when Nick begins to slam his coffin. He breaks free of his coffin and attacks the Baron and the pilots. This causes the plane to lose control and crash in the woods, killing the Baron and wounding the pilots.

In Vienna, Stefania (Shohreh Aghdashloo) takes out Frau Pech's heart and seals it in a box. She then calls Adalind (Claire Coffee) to tell her that they will need Frau Pech's body parts in order to bring back her powers. They cut her feet, hands and eyes and then go to a field of poppies. In the field, Adalind digs, and buries the body parts and the heart in the earth. This causes the poppies around them to die and the powers of Hexenbiest are restored to Adalind, but she needs to collect all the dead poppies.

In the spice shop, while working to find a cure, Juliette suggests using the Williamson ether synthesis to lock a gas in a jar so the zombies can go back to normality. Wu and the other police officers have put the zombies in a container. They are convinced to allow Juliette and Rosalee to throw the glass jars of gas into the container, which cures all the zombies. Meanwhile, Nick wanders off into the woods. He stumbles into a bar and grill, and begins to attack some of the customers while others flee. Hank receives a call about the plane crash and goes to the site with Renard, Monroe, Juliette and Rosalee.

Learning of the incident in the bar, Renard, Hank, Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette head there to find Nick. Renard, Hank and Monroe enter the bar but Nick has left. Monroe then uses his ability to scent to find Nick's path. While Hank and Monroe look for Nick, Nick has found a house in the woods with a family entering while he stares at the family, seemingly planning to attack them.

However soon after she gets settled she discovers that her shower curtains have been disappearing. Danni decides to try to record her bathroom overnight in order to discover what is going on, only to find that her shower curtains are disappearing into a strange portal in her shower wall.

She later brings this up with one of her fellow activists, Tim, who eagerly suggests that she put her contact information on a curtain. This way, if someone finds the curtain the person can call Danni and they can discover the portal's destination. They are contacted by Willy, a drifter that tells them that her curtain appeared in a wooded creek near Poughkeepsie, New York. He volunteers to take them to the area he discovered the curtain, but shortly after arriving he begins huffing paint, bringing out a hostile alter ego named Frankie, and attacking the two activists. They manage to escape the area, but as soon as they arrive back to Danni's apartment they are confronted by the Pale Man, who tells Danni that she is bound to the portal and brand her hand with a symbol. She is also cautioned about putting up another curtain. Ignoring the Pale Man, Danni pulls down the tiles on her shower wall and discovers a strange map. She also puts up a curtain and records its disappearance, noting that certain parts of the map glow. Her investigations are not without repercussions and Danni discovers her uncle dead in his home with the same symbol on her hand branded into his forehead. Through her own investigations and some notes made by her uncle, Danni realizes that the glowing sections of the map mark a specific location near the creek and has Tim put up curtains so she can see where it appears.

While she is searching the area Danni discovers one of her shower curtains with a monster inside of it, which chases her until the Pale Man appears with several yokels that routinely monitor the portal in order to kill any monsters that come through. They then make her bury the monsters that have come through the curtains as a result of her experimenting with the shower. They're about to murder her when a new monster appears, giving Danni an opening to escape as the monster kills the Pale Man and his helpers. When the monster turns to Danni, she beats it to death and escapes to her apartment. When she returns to her apartment she realizes that the monster was actually Tim, who had discovered her distress and went through the portal with the curtain in order to rescue her.

Six, a nine-year-old girl in a yellow raincoat, awakens from a dream of a woman wearing a kimono and a Noh mask. Armed with only a lighter, she sneaks through the bowels of the Maw, a massive, underwater iron vessel. Throughout the Maw, she encounters Nomes: small, skittish creatures that either flee from her or passively observe her efforts. She has the option to hug the Nomes, should she get close to one. In the Prison, where captured children are held, Six evades the carnivorous Leeches that infest its depths and artificial eyes that will turn her to stone if she is caught in their lights. Six also regularly experiences debilitating bouts of hunger; whenever she eats, a shadowy, flickering version of herself appears. After eating some bread offered by an imprisoned child, Six is captured by the blind, long-armed Janitor who supervises the captured children. She escapes but makes no effort to help the other children. She falls into a room filled with piles of shoes and evades the unseen monster burrowing underneath. The Janitor eventually corners Six, but she severs his arms with a collapsing door.

Caught by another bout of hunger, Six is forced to eat a live rat. She travels to the Kitchen, where children wrapped up in butcher paper are being sent. Here, the grotesque Twin Chefs are preparing a feast and pursue Six whenever they spot her. She makes her way outside to the hull of the Maw, above the ocean waves. Scaling the hull, Six witnesses a procession of obese, suited Guests marching into the Maw from their vessel. They lumber into a Japanese-style Guest Area, where they gorge themselves on food. The feast is overseen by the mysterious Lady from Six's dream, the masked proprietress of the Maw. Several Guests scramble after Six, but she outruns them. When she has another hunger attack, a Nome offers her a sausage. However, Six eats the Nome instead.

Six follows the Lady up into her Quarters, which are strewn with broken mirrors. Pursued by the Lady, Six finds an unbroken mirror, which she uses to repel her. The sight of her own reflection causes the Lady pain and eventually subdues her. As the Lady lies defenseless and weakened, Six experiences a final hunger attack. She bites the Lady's neck, killing her and absorbing her magical powers. Six walks back through the Guest Area, surrounded by a dark aura. Some of the Guests try to eat her, but their lives are instantly drained and their necks snapped by her new powers. She passes through a door and proceeds up a staircase and out into the sunlight, while all the Nomes she has hugged gather at the open doorway.

In a post-credits scene, Six waits by the entrance of the Maw while a foghorn is heard in the distance.

DLC plot

Secrets of the Maw

A trio of DLC levels that offer a "different perspective on Six's adventures" was planned. The first, released in July 2017, a second in November 2017, and a third in February 2018.

The Depths

A boy called the Runaway Kid wakes up from a nightmare involving him swimming in darkness before being dragged underwater. After leaving the Nursery, he follows a girl who is also fleeing, but later disappears. She leaves behind a flashlight, which the Runaway Kid takes.

The Runaway Kid falls into the Depths of the Maw, which are heavily flooded. He avoids Leeches and make his way across by hopping on floating platforms. The Depths are home to the Granny, who swims underwater and attempts to grab the Runaway Kid either by bumping/destroying the floating platforms he stands on or by snatching him if he is in the water for too long. After pushing a plugged TV set into the water to electrocute and kill the Granny, the Runaway Kid leaves the Depths but is then captured by the Janitor. The final scene shows the Runaway Kid in a cage next to other trapped children, including Six. The Janitor pulls the Runaway Kid's cage away, paralleling Six's main-game story just before she wakes up in her cage.

The Hideaway

Wrapped in butcher paper and ascending on a hook towards the Kitchen, the Runaway Kid breaks free and falls into a new level of the Maw, finding an engine room where Nomes throw coal into a furnace. After evading the Janitor, the Kid uses the Nomes to power up the furnace. The bucket elevator in the engine room becomes fully functional and lifts the Runaway Kid up to a furnace room where more Nomes are gathered, their shadows cast by the furnace's light resembling children. After leaving, the Runaway Kid finds himself on top of a rising elevator occupied by the Lady.

The Residence

The Runaway Kid enters the Lady's Residence. After solving a series of puzzles to find three missing statues while fighting off the Shadow Children, he finds the Lady looking at herself in a mirror, her unmasked face in the reflection revealed to be gruesome and deformed. The Lady is alerted to the Runaway Kid's presence and transforms him into a Nome. He then finds his way into the Guest Area and the room with the sausage in Six's story. The chapter ends with the Runaway Kid standing by the sausage, indicating that he is indeed the Nome whom Six eats. When the credits for ''Secrets of the Maw'' roll, they are eventually shown to be on a television set, which shows a figure reminiscent of the Thin Man.

However later the young man becomes depressed because he does not run over anyone and is in a constant state of dread. Ilija is ready to sacrifice his own life to heal Sima's melancholy. Luckily, Sima runs over another man – Ljuba the Maniac instead of Ilija. The film ends with Ilija sitting in a train where his adopted son is the driver.

Navin Johnson sets out to attend the wedding of Marie, his pen pal in California, but runs into a gang of hobos, led by a schemer named Diesel. Diesel discovers Navin's skill at playing poker and takes Navin to Las Vegas where they win enough to travel to Los Angeles in style.

Called a "pocket universe" story by ''The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction'', "Giant Killer" is told from the point-of-view of a colony of mutants living in a spaceship. Though they are eventually (in the final sentence) revealed to be rats, they are obviously sentient lifeforms: they have a culture, complete with marriage, seers, governmental structures, specialized safety equipment, and ritualized combat. They are illiterate, albeit: they marvel as the giants make black marks on "skin," which they perceive as some inscrutable form of "sorcery." The "giants" of the story's title are the humans crewing the spaceship. Much is made of the mutants' efforts to understand the giants' fascinating world, including such locales as the Place-of-Life-Which-Is-Not-Life, obviously the robotics laboratory.

'''Opening quote:''' "'Tis Death's Park, where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet."

Nick's (David Giuntoli) strength has been increasing after his zombification. On a date with Rosalee (Bree Turner), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) proposes that she move in with him, to which she accepts. They also run into Sam (George Mount), an old friend of Monroe and his wife Kimber (Ashley Whittaker). That night, a Blutbad runs in the woods and climbs onto a tree where his stomach is bloating and then explodes.

While Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the death, Renard (Sasha Roiz) receives a call from Sebastien (Christian Lagadec), his spy. He tells him that the police couldn't find anything on Eric's desk but he found a note that may lead to Frau Pech's location but finds Adalind (Claire Coffee) there. The next day, another victim is found in a tree with the same characteristics. Investigating the dead woman's car, Nick and Hank find that she and the Blutbad went to the same restaurant, Raven & Rose, before dying. They visit the restaurant to find the chef boss, Graydon Ostler (Dan Bakkedahl) yelling at his employees, all of them are Bauerschwein.

Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) suggests to Nick that the victims could have died of gastric dilatation volvulus and Nick deduces that as the chefs were Bauerschwein and the victims were Blutbaden, these killings may be because of their old feud. Nick is finally moving out of Monroe's house and Monroe, Rosalee, Juliette, Hank and Bud (Danny Bruno) throw a party to celebrate. However, during the celebration, Monroe gets a call from Kimber, who states that Sam may have gone missing. Nick discovers that Sam is a Blutbad and also ate at Raven & Rose.

Rosalee finds that the disease is the result of the Völlige Verzweiflung, a disease that causes their victims to burst their insides out. If the food is eaten raw, nothing will happen; but if the food is cooked, it is a toxin to the Blutbaden. Sam is found by Nick, Hank and Monroe and his stomach explodes, killing him. Deducing Ostler is responsible, Monroe goes to kill him. Nick manages to get Ostler to confess when Monroe and a pack of Blutbaden arrive at the restaurant to kill him. Ostler signs a written confession in the precinct and Renard looks at it and says, "This little piggy went to jail."

On 26 November 2008, waiter Arjun reports for work at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai, India, under head chef Hemant Oberoi. The day's guests include British-Iranian heiress Zahra Kashani and her American husband David, with their infant son Cameron and his nanny Sally, as well as ex-Spetznaz operative Vasili.

That night, terrorists from the Lashkar-e-Taiba organization, under the command of "the Bull", launch a coordinated assault against 12 locations across Mumbai, including the hotel. As the local police are not properly trained or equipped to handle the attack, they are forced to wait for reinforcements from New Delhi. In the ensuing chaos, Arjun, David, Zahra and Vasili are trapped in the hotel restaurant with several other guests while Sally remains with Cameron in their hotel room. A woman fleeing from the terrorists enters the hotel room, and Sally hides with Cameron in a closet as the terrorists shoot the woman and then leave.

Hearing of Sally's close encounter, David manages to sneak past the terrorists and successfully reach Sally and Cameron. Meanwhile, Arjun escorts the other guests to the Chambers Lounge, an exclusive club hidden within the hotel, where they hope to remain safe. David, Sally and Cameron attempt to regroup with the others, but David is captured and bound by the terrorists while Sally and Cameron are trapped inside a closet.

Meanwhile, police officer DC Vam and his partner enter the hotel in the hopes of reaching the security room so they can track the terrorists' movements. Inside, Arjun attempts to escort a mortally wounded guest to a hospital, but upon encountering the officers, she panics and flees before being killed by a terrorist. Arjun escorts the officers to the security room where they discover the terrorists about to break into the Chambers Lounge. Vam orders Arjun to stay as he goes to attack the terrorists, successfully wounding one named Imran.

Against Oberoi's advice, Zahra and Vasili, along with several other guests, decide to leave the lounge to escape, but Zahra and Vasili are caught and taken hostage along with David, while the others are killed in their attempt to escape.

While guarding the hostages, Imran contacts his family members, and reveals that the terrorists left to attack Mumbai under the guise of military training. He also discovers that while the Bull had promised to pay the families of the terrorists, they have yet to receive any money from him.

Eventually, the NSG arrive, and the Bull orders the terrorists to burn the hotel down. The terrorists leave Imran to guard the hostages, and the Bull orders Imran to kill them. Imran shoots both David and Vasili, but spares Zahra when she begins reciting a Muslim prayer, allowing her to untie herself and escape.

Arjun regroups with Oberoi and evacuates the remaining guests, encountering Sally and Cameron in the process. The NSG kill the remaining terrorists, and Zahra is evacuated by an aerial work platform before reuniting with Sally and Cameron. After the hotel is secured, Arjun returns home to his wife and daughter.

A closing script reveals that those responsible for the attack remain free to this day, but the hotel was repaired and parts reopened within months of the event. The final scenes show a memorial to the staff and guests, and footage of the grand reopening of the hotel.

Film editor Rey Ciso works on cutting director Francesco Mancini's latest ''giallo''/''poliziotteschi'' film ''Tarantola'' with his beautiful assistant Bella. Once an acclaimed, up-and-coming editor, Rey lost his right-hand fingers in a freak accident and is now handicapped by a prosthetic wooden hand. After hours, an unknown killer sneaks into the studio and kills lead actor Claudio Calvetti and his girlfriend Veronica while they view a workprint of the film. Actress Margarit Porfiry stumbles upon Veronica's hanging body and is stricken with hysterical blindness. Her husband, Police Inspector Peter Porfiry, interviews studio employees.

Claudio's co-star Cal Konitz has his dreams of a larger role in the film are dashed when Mancini introduces Cesare, a lookalike stand-in to replace Claudio. Meanwhile, Police Chief O'Connor pressures Porfiry into closing the case, since Margarit is his daughter. Porfiry begins suspecting Rey, since the victims' fingers were crudely severed in much the same manner as Rey's. Porfiry interviews Mancini, and learns that Rey was once instituted in an asylum.

Back at the studio, Cesare is murdered in the shower and his fingers are severed. With Cesare dead, Francesco instructs Rey to re-cut the film to make Cal the new star. Porfiry questions Rey about his time in the asylum, and Rey recounts how his start in the business as an editor for acclaimed art house director Umberto Fantori, Bella's father, whose debut film ''The Mirror and the Guillotine'' earned him critical acclaim and introduced him to his wife, star Josephine Jardin. When his wife was fired by Mancini on her next film, the pressures of editing Fantori's next project, the world's longest film, mounted and Rey accidentally cut off his own fingers in a fit of madness. What Rey doesn't tell him is that he's found what appears to be footage of the murders, taken by an unknown third party. The interview over, Rey returns to work in the editing suite with Bella, where she confesses her love for him, but Rey resists her because he is married. Porfiry, meanwhile, is introduced to Cal's girlfriend Jasmine, who reveals that the two were once lovers. Porfiry remains oblivious to the bladed instruments in Cal's car.

That night after another argument with his wife, Rey has a vision of a dark man with bright blue eyes stalking him from the shadows in his room. Porfiry, meanwhile, infiltrates the asylum where Rey was institutionalized, and meets the director Dr. Casini. Casini tells Porfiry that Rey attempted to kill his assistant Giuseppe, who is now a patient at the asylum himself, his head mysteriously wrapped in bandages. Casini explains to Porfiry Plato's Allegory of the Cave; of men who spend their entire lives believing shadows on the wall to be living, breathing beings.

Porfiry returns him to find that Margarit now has a seeing-eye German Shepherd named Rolfie. After the two make love, the killer breaks into their home and traps Porfiry outside of his room, separated from Margarit. Porfiry break the door down using an axe, but the killer throws Margarit in the way as a body shield, killing her. Porfiry stages the scene to exonerate himself, cutting off Margarit fingers and feeding them to Rolfie. Giancarlo arrives and holds Porfiry at gunpoint, but the Porfiry feeds him alcohol and confuses him into supporting Porfiry's narrative about the incident.

O'Connor berates Porfiry over Margarit's death, and the killer calls him at the station to taunt him. Porfiry convinces O'Connor into supporting a plan where Giancarlo goes undercover as the new editor on ''Tarantola''. Rey meanwhile, has been suffering from blackouts and hallucinations, and finding a bloodied shirt in his editing suite, begins to suspect himself as the killer. Mancini fires him and replaces him with Giancarlo, Rey dejectedly returns home to find Josephine obsessively watching Cal's demo tape. Burning the bloodied shirt in the kitchen sink, Rey begins having strange, otherworldly visions involving Bella; glimpsing a Lovecraftian netherworld filled with massive film reels and boiling tar. Bella meanwhile, finds the footage of the murders. Watching it, she is murdered by the killer; an act echoed in Rey's vision. He rushes to the studio, but arrives too late.

Trying to complete the film without any prior filmmaking knowledge, Giancarlo is beset by venomous tarantulas in the editing suite and is disemboweled by the killer. Over-schedule and over-budget, Mancini rehires Rey to finish the film, Rey revealing that he'd already completed his assembly cut before being fired. Mancini is ecstatic and the film is saved. Porfiry, convinced Rey is the killer, confronts Father Clarke, who tries to tell him his conviction is misguided. He explains an old, Roman-era superstition that editors were believed to be bridges to the netherworld.

Cal, learning that Rey has cut him from the film completely, threatens to kill Rey with a chainsaw. Rey points out that Cal blinks incessantly whenever he tries acting, which lets Rey know that Cal's bluffing. Cal leaves in a huff, but vows to still have his revenge. He tells Porfiry that Rey is a madman, and Porfiry mentions his suspicion that Rey may have ties to the occult, telling Cal that the best way to get to Rey is through his wife. Rey returns home to a ransacked living room with only the television intact. Viewing Cal's demo reel, the Betamax tape suddenly comes to life and begins breathing. Cal kidnaps Rey and forces him to watch him rape Josephine despite Rey's pleas, but Josephine reveals that she's been having an affair with him and plans to leave Rey. That night, Jasmine and Cal are killed during sex by a chainsaw.

While researching the occult at the library, Porfiry is beset by tarantulas. Porfiry brings his findings to Father Clarke, insisting that Rey is the killer. Clarke retorts the Rey is a righteous man, who volunteered to fix the masonry in the broken church bell tower years ago, allowing the bell to keep ringing. Porfiry stumbles across Cal's dead body, and breaks into Rey's house in a fit of rage, only to find occult literature and a film reel filled with severed fingers. Taking this as confirmation of Rey's guilt, Porfiry sets out in search of Rey. Rey is struck by another vision, crawling out of his editing machine covered in tar with bright blue eyes, thus matching the appearance of the killer in his dreams. Porfiry chases Rey by car over a cliff. Rey flees on foot and makes his way to Mancini's mansion, but Porfiry catches up and holds him at gunpoint. Porfiry shoots Rey, but upon turning around is shocked to find Josephine performing an occult ritual; sacrificing Mancini and revealing herself as the true killer. Josephine proclaims herself an incarnation of Death, Porfiry tries to shoot her but she causes his gun to backfire, blowing off the fingers on his right hand. Rey lights his wooden hand on fire and grabs Josephine, setting her ablaze and killing her. In the aftermath, Porfiry reveals that Cal confessed to killing Cesare for a better part in the film, and the two go their separate ways on good terms.

The next day, Porfiry returns to work at police station, but quickly becomes confused by strange incongruities surrounding him. Dr. Casini is the staff psychiatrist and Jasmine is his nurse, Josephine and Rey were never together, Giancarlo is alive and a full Inspector who solved the case, and Porfiry's injuries are now only minor. Confused, Porfiry rushes to the church to speak to Father Clarke, who tells him that the belfry has remained damaged and the bell hasn't rung in over 100 years. Porfiry runs to the top of the tower, and digging through the damaged masonry finds a skull atop a stack of film reels. Examining the frames, he sees a reflection of himself repeating the same actions. Horrified, Porfiry screams, realizing that he is in another dimension, a camera pull-back revealing him to be in the studio editing machine.

In a post-credits scene, Rey returns home to his wife; in this reality Bella.

When wealthy art collector Jacques (Emiliano Redondo) visits a Parisian brothel operated by Madame Lili (Mandy Rice-Davies), he recognizes one of the prostitutes as Venus (Josephine Jacqueline Jones), a black Martinican woman.

In a flashback, Jacques remembers introducing Venus to a gifted but impoverished sculptor, Armand (José Antonio Ceinos), who persuaded Venus to become his art model and lover. Armand grew increasingly obsessed with Venus and the statue of her that he was working on. To help Armand pay rent, Venus took work as a model for a dressmaker, Madame Jean (Helga Liné). Several of Madame Jean's customers became enamored with Venus, among them Marie (Karin Schubert), a wealthy woman whose husband was often absent. Venus earned so much as a model that Armand accused her of being a prostitute.

Eventually Armand's obsession, jealousy and growing violence drove Venus away and she moved in with Marie as a kept woman. When Marie's husband Pierre returned home during a society ball, he discovered Venus in his home and ordered her to have sex with Louise (Florence Guérin), a 17-year old rural girl he had seduced with wealth. Pierre then invited several party guests to rape Louise, leading Venus to flee the house and return to work for Madame Jean. Venus later crossed paths with Louise, who had become a prostitute at Madame Lili's brothel. Louise persuaded Venus to join her in working for Madame Lili.

In the present, Jacques tells Venus that Armand finished his statue of her, but refuses to sell it despite being destitute and quite ill. After Venus begs him to help Armand, Jacques goes to Armand's studio, forces money on Armand and takes the statue of Venus over Armand's protests. Jacques then buys Venus and Louise's contracts from Madame Lili and takes both women to his house in Spain, where he installs the statue. Armand, having suffered a severe breakdown, follows them to Spain to take back both Venus and the statue at gunpoint. When Venus refuses, Armand shoots her and then kills himself. Armand's last words are to ask Jacques to take care of "her", leaving it unclear whether he meant the injured Venus or the statue.
