As a child, Dr. Amit Singh (Ram Gopal Bajaj) survived the British partition of India. Since then, he has been running forward his whole life, running from the horrors of his past — his family murdered by Muslims and the personal guilt he feels for the death of his brother. Now, with the onset of dementia, Amit must return to his childhood home and confront the memories he has been trying to forget before dementia robs him of his last chance for peace. But before the journey home begins, Amit's son Abhi (Samir Kochhar) arrives from America to commit his father to an old age home.
Amit runs away and encounters Salim (Pankaj Tripathi). Salim is a Muslim auto-rickshaw driver whose wife was raped and burned to death by Hindu rioters. Amit had earlier saved the life of Salim's son. Salim offers to drive the doctor anywhere, as a way of repaying his debt. When Amit asks to be taken home, Salim cannot imagine how far he will end up going for the doctor or where the journey will lead them. Along the way, Amit and Salim forge an unforgettable friendship and help each other discover the peace they have been longing for.
Buster and his wife Elsie Ames are temps sent to a house owned by a spiritualist/magician Professor Mordini (Lynton Brent), where they are to act as caretakers. Mordini leaves on a vacation and warns the couple not to let his former assistant in the house to steal his secrets. Spooky gags follow, along with a penguin on roller skates. A newlywed couple arrives (Dorothy Appleby and Don Beddoe), and the wife is fascinated by spiritualism. Mordini's vengeful former assistant Bruce Bennett breaks into the house and finds Mordini's master controls, scaring everyone out of the house at last.
Buster is married to his second wife Dorothy Appleby where he must pay his first wife Elsie Ames alimony leading to current financial stress. To save the alimony payment, Buster invites his first wife and new boyfriend (Matt McHugh) to live with his current wife. As you can imagine, there is a lot of comedic conflict. To get the couple out and not have to pay alimony, a shotgun wedding ensues.
Handyman Eddie (Buster Keaton) is mistaken for gangster Louie the Wolf (Eddie Fetherston). Louie encourages this deception and lets rival gangster Slugger McGraw (Matt McHugh) think Eddie is him. Slugger attempts to kill Eddie many times. After one final attempt a car chase ensues with Eddie throwing various items out the window to get the attention of the police.
Aristocratic millionaire Peter Hedley Lamar Jr. (Buster Keaton) is entranced by army nurse Dorothy Appleby but her cohort Elsie Ames lets Lamar know that Dorothy is only interested in men in uniform.

Still interested in Dorothy, Lamar wounds himself to get under the care of Dorothy. Elsie is still after him, but Dorothy finally comes around after Lamar saves her life.
James Budgeforth (Frank Stanmore) spends the night in the Chamber of Horrors of Madame Tussauds. While there, he has a nightmare in which he murders his mistress Ninette (Elizabeth Hempel), and believing the dream to be real, he loses his sanity during the night.
Bookkeeper Buster Keaton works for a company in the big city when he inherits a rural farm from his uncle Burr McKeaton and is able to quit his job. The city job sight gags include sprayed ink, tray smashing and many doors breaking glass.
Arriving at the rundown, debt-ridden farm, Buster finds a piggy bank under his uncle Burr McKeaton's portrait and while trying to break it open, winds up burning down the farm in the process. He then explores the rest of the "estate" and while trying to fix a water-stream, Buster gets caught in a windmill.
Disconsolate, he decides to end it all by tying a rock and rope around his neck and jumping off a pier into a lake on his estate. Before jumping, he notices tons of trout jumping in the lake and decides to fish instead.
Many sight gags ensue with Buster trying to catch a fish. A passerby, Harold Goodwin, offers Buster two dollars to fish in his lake.
An idea has sprouted and we next see Buster collecting money (and inserting it into many different sized piggybanks) from the city folk who arrive to pay admission to his "Fisherman's Paradise - Buster Keaton, Prop."
Italy, Summer 1976.
Giulia Bianchi, Maria, Enrico, Lucio and Angelo are a group of friends which live and study in the town of Seveso, not far from Milan. Their lives dramatically change on July 10, when during the party for Giulia's birthday one of the reactors of the close ICMESA chemical plant collapses, spreading into the air a massive, menacing cloud that falls over the surrounding area, covering everything under a white and irritating dust.
First news say that the cloud and the subsequent dust were made of trichlorophenol, a substance toxic for plants but almost harmless to animals and humans, so for days Seveso's inhabitants continue with their lives as if nothing ever happened.
Soon however things turn bad when the animals of Seveso begin to die in droves, and many inhabitants, especially among the aged ones, become sick with no apparent reason.
In search for answers, Giulia and her group, supported by the Japanese journalist Shiro Ando, begin their own investigation, and talking both with an ICMESA's worker and a chemistry professor they soon discover a terrible truth: the cloud released over the town was actually made of trichlorophenol for real, but due to the reactor's excessive temperature part of the substance, immediately after the release, has turned into something incredibly more dangerous: dioxin.
Thanks to Ando and Enrico's father, which is the Mayor of Seveso, they're able to reveal the truth to the inhabitants, and immediately most of Seveso is evacuated in order to save as much persons as possible from dioxin's deadly effects, but it's already too late. Too much time has passed since the initial contamination, and many inhabitants, including Maria, contract chloracne, as much as many other illnesses linked to an excessive exposure to dioxin (kidney failure, liver failure and cancer).
To make matters worse, the scientific community reveals that dioxin is a potential risk for the pregnant women, since it can provoke malformations and mental diseases on the fetuses. For this, the Italian government gives a temporary authorization to the abortion (which was still illegal on Italy in 1976), to spare to many future parents to have a malformed or demented child.
Subsequent investigations conducted by Shiro reveal one more devastating secret: the journalist's work in fact demonstrates that the "La Roche", the corporation that controls the ICMESA, had voluntarily ignored many safety standards to save over the plant's costs, like create a safety tank for the losses or train its workers in deal such menaces. Plus this, Ando finds out that the "La Roche" had been aware of the incident's true dimensions since the beginning, but it decided to keep the secret as long as possible in order to have enough time to destroy every proof of its crimes.
All of these proofs however will not be enough to assure that the "La Roche"'s owners will pay for their guilts, but the corporation's reputation will be publicly destroyed during a press conference by Giulia and her friends, even if this will not be enough to forget Seveso's sufferings.
Sometime later, Anna, Giulia's sister, which had decided to proceed with her pregnancy despite the risks, will give birth to a healthy girl, but at the opposite the old miss. Sonia will prematurely die, killed by dioxin.
A family glassware company dominates the town. There have been no strikes in a hundred years, but sheet workers walk out over a pay discrepancy. When other grievances come to light, all six factories go on strike. The union, the General Municipal, does not support the strike. Eddie Marsden then sets up a Rank and File Strike Committee to organise the strike outside of the union, doing business such as organising pickets and collecting for a hardship fund. The Committee meets in a room above a pub with seven members: Les, Johnny, Eddie, Billy, Bert, Mike and Jerry. They befriend a journalist who was sent to cover the strike, even though he normally only covers gardening news.
Whilst Les is typing out a strike bulletin, a brick is thrown through the back window. Les fails to catch the perpetrators.
During the next committee meeting, they receive a phone call from the journalist to inform them that the General Municipal has secretly accepted a £3, (12%) pay rise, which is lower than the Committee was demanding. When the General Municipal's leader Holtby arrives to address the meeting, he is booed and pelted with stones, and has to be given a police escort away. A vote by show of hands is passed for the strike to continue. Holtby then tells the media that the Communist Party have infiltrated the workforce, but the workers deny this when asked by journalists.
Many strikers are falling behind with rent and evicted from their homes. A female striker is shown sleeping with her baby on the street. She is afraid that the baby will be taken away if she presents herself to a charity or to a welfare office. A march takes place to the union headquarters to demand appropriation of the union's hardship fund. After some marchers (including Les) are arrested, the others discover an old union banner from the 1926 General Strike and carry on marching with it. Les's wife subsequently leaves him, but agrees to give the typewriter for the strike bulletins to Eddie.
A group of men walk back to work under police escort. They are called ''scabs'' (a term that is extremely offensive in some parts of England) and spat at, before a scuffle between pickets and police. Shortly afterwards, Johnny takes a taxi to Wood Street, but the taxi driver takes an unexpected term and ignores instructions. When Johnny gets out, he is beaten up by hired muscle. The other members of the committee wait for Johnny at the hospital, and then mock him when he emerges in bandages.
The Trade Union Congress invites the Committee to negotiate on the strike in London. As the strike is taking its toll on the committee both financially and physically, they decided to enter negotiations. Eddie is elected to attend the meeting and obtain written confirmation of the promises made by the General Municipal and the TUC. They return with a signed document which states that there will be no victimisation once the men return to work. The strike is then called off.
Once back at work, the agreement is not honoured. Eddie is followed around by the foreman and production manager constantly. The victimised leaders return to London to discuss the agreement signed with the General Electric and TUC, but the request for a meeting is denied. A new unofficial strike is then called, but collapses after three days. Eddie, Billy and other members of the Committee are sacked and blacklisted. Charlie is allowed to keep his job, but loses his pension rights and his wage is reduced to the level of an apprentice.
The film ends with Eddie critiquing the Industrial Relations Act 1971 for forbidding unofficial strikes. He quotes Trotsky's vision of hope that the young will go on to make a brighter future.
The short opens with Gwar performing "Bring Back The Bomb" at a venue. Oderus then announces that they have a new song for "all you kids". He then pulls up a stool and plays an acoustic guitar and sings about putting stuff away. This incites fury from the audience. (With one audience member throwing a beer bottle at Oderus, but hitting Jizmak instead.) When the other band members confront him on the matter, he says he's tired of the violent image the band puts out and wants to make them a children's band, utilizing "education through positive music". The others are shocked at this revelation.
When Pustulus asks if he's high, Oderus says he is indeed high, on life. Beefcake says they need a doctor. The doctor diagnoses Oderus' condition as "lead singer menopause", an illness that turns people into children's performers. He goes on to say that the cure rests in the highest mountaintops of Antarctica, and that once obtained, it can return Oderus to his regular objectionable self. The doctor wishes them good luck as he goes to use the bathroom. Gwar leaves the room to get the cure while Oderus stays behind to censor Gwar's merchandise.
In another room, Weird Al Yankovic is talking with someone on the phone about performing at a kid's birthday party. Oderus listens in on the conversation and expresses desire to trade places with Weird Al. At that moment, he gets an idea. When Weird Al sees him, he expresses joy at meeting his idol, which quickly turns to horror as Oderus assaults him.
Meanwhile, Gwar is climbing an Antarctic mountain where Jizmak suffers a stream of bad luck. (Getting a piece of Beefcake's armor stuck in his eye, getting a pickaxe stuck in his leg by a texting Balsac, getting a second pickaxe stuck in his head by Beefcake, who then throws him at the mountain summit, releasing an undead Tyrannosaurus rex.)
Meanwhile, Oderus stops at the birthday party Weird Al was to appear at, wearing Weird Al's face and hair like a mask. He is able to fool the family and get in. Back in Antarctica, Gwar is doing battle with the undead dinosaur when the doctor appears in Beefcake's subconscious and reveals that the cure for Oderus' affliction is in the dinosaur's blood. At that moment, the dinosaur attacks and eats the doctor before getting its head sliced off by Beefcake.
Back at the party, Oderus is failing to win the children's favor, with a girl stating that kids like "gross out humor". At that moment, Weird Al's face slides off, revealing Oderus' true identity. Then, Gwar bursts in and Beefcake injects the cure into Oderus' head, which returns him to normal, to the delight of his bandmates. The band then celebrates by slaughtering everybody at the party.
In a post-credits scene, Weird Al is met with upset reactions from the audience and fails to get them happy, swearing revenge on Gwar for ruining him.
Fifteen-year-old Brandon (Jahking Guillory) longs for a pair of the freshest sneakers that money can buy, assuming that merely having them on his feet will help him escape the reality of being poor, neglected by the opposite sex and picked on by everyone - even his best friends Rico (Christopher Meyer) and Albert (Christopher Jordan Wallace).
He visits a local store and finds that a brand new pair cost $350. He gathers the money by using his savings and by selling candy bars to people on the streets. As he continues to gather the amount he meets a guy in the neighborhood with a car full of "exclusive" Nike sneakers. He shows Brandon these who upon hearing the amount is $150 seizes the opportunity to buy them. Brandon heads home with his new black and red sneakers and anticipates wearing them. He wears them the next day and shows off the sneakers to Rico and Albert who fail to believe that he got the pair for only $150. He recites a fictitious story to them and seemingly convinces them into believing it. They head to the local basketball court and meet two girls, one of whom takes an interest in Brandon and invites him to hang out later. Believing that the sneakers have already started to "work their magic", he agrees and blows off hanging out with his friends in order to get ready for his first date.
However on his way home he encounters Flaco (Kofi Siriboe), a ruthless gangster and his crew. They gang up on Brandon beating him up while recording him and steal his sneakers. Brandon ends up depressed by the events and Rico and Albert add fuel to the fire by making fun of his loss to which he retaliates. He swears to get his sneakers back and heads off with his friends in hopes of finding information of Flaco's whereabouts. Flaco is such bad news that everybody warns Brandon off, tells him to let the sneakers go, but Brandon declares, "They're not just shoes. They're fucking J's." He meets one of the gang members in the park and throws a basketball at him which knocks the member over. He, Rico and Albert leave and Brandon tells the member to warn Flaco. Brandon eventually turns to his uncle Marlon (Mahershala Ali) who tells him that he no longer lives "that kind" of life and that he won't risk lives nor go back to prison over a pair of shoes. Brandon dissatisfied leaves but takes his uncle's gun from a nearby bedroom to take matters into his own hands. He speaks to his cousins outside who assure him that if they stay longer they'll definitely run into Flaco. They group heads off to a house where they smoke weed, drink and do drugs. Brandon attempts to hook up with a girl at the house but fails and soon leaves with everyone in hopes of finally reaching Flaco.
Meanwhile, Flaco is shown bullying another kid in the neighborhood and steals his earphones. He walks to his vehicle and places them in the trunk along with Brandon's Nike sneakers and a few other things that he had stolen. He reaches his house and gives the Nike sneakers to his son. Flaco and his son play in the basketball court while his son wears the Nike sneakers. He is then seen at his house with his gang members doing drugs and dancing with girls while his son watches close by.
Eventually, Brandon, Rico and Albert infiltrate Flaco's house by tricking his son. Brandon manages to grab his sneakers but Flaco sees them and tries to get the sneakers back. Brandon manages to flee and abandons his friends. Flaco grabs Albert and starts beating him up but is then knocked out by Rico. The two escape and along the way encounter Brandon who gloats about getting his shoes back. Rico pushes him against the fence and makes him realize that their lives are in danger because he abandoned them all for a pair of sneakers. They leave Brandon alone and head off to get Albert's wounds treated.
Brandon realizing his mistake heads to uncle Marlon's house and leaves the gun next to him. Uncle Marlon tells him "That ain't how it works. Once you start something you gotta see it to the end." He tells Brandon to keep the gun because Flaco will definitely go after him. Meanwhile, Flaco is seen with his son in the same store Brandon was in at the beginning of the film and buys his son a pair of new sneakers. In the car, he tells his son that they are going after the sneakers in order to teach him about standing up for himself and not allowing anyone to get away with things.
Brandon travels in a bus and sees another person with the same sneakers realizing that his "exclusive" sneakers weren't really exclusive at all. He places the gun in the Nike shoebox and throws it away taking Uncle Marlon's advice from before into consideration. He meets up with Rico and Albert in the basketball court gifting Albert a box of condoms and Rico some juice. They warn him about Flaco. As they walk home, Flaco finds them and chases them down with his son catching up from behind. He places a gun on Brandon's neck in order to teach him a lesson. Brandon knocks him over with his skateboard and kicks him in the face continuously before grabbing the gun and placing it near his face. Brandon looks at Flaco's son and tosses the gun aside deciding not to pull the trigger. Flaco's son grabs the gun and refuses to give it to Flaco so that he does not murder Brandon and go to jail. Flaco wakes up and punches Brandon repeatedly before grabbing his son and heading home.
Rico and Albert arrive and help Brandon walk. As they help him he decides to walk on his own. He climbs the steps slowly with his friends having finally faced his fears, realizing his own strengths and feeling proud as a man.

The story begins with a recreation of the last few minutes of the original episode. In the mirror universe, "our" Kirk urges mirror universe-Spock to take command of the ISS ''Enterprise'', spare the Halkans and find a way to make peace to prevent the Terran Empire from collapsing. He and his landing party are then transported back to the Federation "prime" universe, while their "evil" counterparts return in the alternate reality.
The evil Kirk, now in command again, is determined to either take the dilithium crystals from the Halkans or to destroy them as a show of force. When the Halkans refuse to hand over the crystals, Kirk orders a photon torpedo barrage on their planet, rejecting a diplomatic solution recommended by Spock. The pitiless attack not only wipes out the Halkans but also destroys the crystals. Spock points out that the loss of the crystals would not have happened if the Captain had followed his advice. Facing this unexpectedly strong criticism by his first officer, a visibly nervous Kirk leaves the bridge and reaches his quarters.
Meanwhile, three Andorian vessels have witnessed the attack on the Halkans and have communicated to the ''Enterprise'' that they will no longer recognize the authority of the Terran Empire, formalizing the start of a revolution. Spock informs Kirk of the Andorian ships' approach, but when Kirk orders him to destroy them if they try any aggressive moves, Spock refuses to comply. Kirk reacts to this act of insubordination by activating the Tantalus Field, a deadly device concealed in his quarters, to kill Spock. Unexpectedly, the machine does not seem to work. Kirk then calls his private guards and they head to the bridge to arrest Spock.
Spock, in the meantime, has left the bridge and has convinced Scotty to join the now explicit mutiny. They take possession of the auxiliary control room, from where they have full control of the navigation of the ship. Other crew members, sent by Kirk to eliminate Spock, are attracted to the peaceful philosophy promoted by the Vulcan and join the mutiny as well. Marlena reveals to Spock that she disabled the Tantalus Field when Kirk tried to kill him. She suggests that Spock use it to eliminate Kirk. Spock declines, replying that no revolution can succeed using the same methods applied by the previous regime.
The more time passes, the more Kirk is abandoned by his crew and feels helpless, to the point that he asks Spock to meet at the officer's lounge to discuss a potential compromise. Spock accepts the invitation, well aware that the meeting could hide a trap. When the two men face each other, Kirk tries to shoot Spock, but the Vulcan reveals that all the weapons have been disabled by a dampening field. Kirk, enraged at the failure of the attempt, attacks Spock and during a pause in the fight shouts his thoughts about the crew, stating that they are just expendable pawns to reach his goals. Unbeknownst to him, his statements are being broadcast to the entire ship by Spock, showing the crew the real nature of their leader. Two guards then enter the officer's lounge and, to Kirk's surprise, arrest and finally neutralize him.
Spock gives a shuttlecraft to Kirk and the few crew members still loyal to him, so that they can reach the nearest habitable system. Spock states that he's aware that the entire Terran fleet will try to stop the ''Enterprise'' and his attempts to build a peaceful Empire, but that he must try. In the last scene, Spock takes command of the bridge as Captain and gives the navigator the order to move "forward".

'''Opening quote:''' "More and more she grew to love human beings and wished that she could leave the sea and live among them."
A group of teenagers, Jake Barnes (Michael Welch), Dan (Pritesh Shah), and Sarah (Sara Fletcher) and Anna Mahario (Lauren Luiz) are relaxing on a river. Sarah then finds that her sister, Elly (Stephanie Nogueras), who is in love with Jake, is spying on them and sends her off. Then, Dan is dragged in the river by a mysterious creature while Jake tries to help him. Elly manages to save Jake with a Wesen form but Dan drowns.
Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are notified by the sheriff that Dan's body was found and had claw marks, deducing he was dragged. While inspecting the zone where the murder happened, Nick finds Elly and chases her but she jumps in the sea and swims quickly. Renard (Sasha Roiz) is told by Sebastien (Christian Lagadec) that Adalind (Claire Coffee) was dealing with Frau Pech about the baby, which may have royal blood.
Nick and Hank go with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner), who just moved on the house. Rosalee thinks that the Wesen may be a Naiad, a mermaid-like Wesen. Tracking a signal from Jake's phone to a marina, Nick, Hank, Wu (Reggie Lee) and cops arrive at a boat owned by Abel (Brian McNamara), and find the phone in the house. Elly hides in the water as Sarah and Anna arrive, pretending that nothing happened. They arrest Sarah and Anna and after they leave, Abel confronts the neighbors Dominic (Derek Ray) and Jesse (Coltron James) as they are the real culprits. Dominic and Jesse decide to "cut" Elly and leave.
Unwilling to let his daughters go to jail, Abel confesses the murder of Dan. Although they know he's innocent, Nick and Hank use the confession to make Sarah and Anna reveal that Dominic and Jesse are the killers, as their old tradition would require them to take care of their children. Meanwhile, Jake returns to his apartment to find Elly, recognizing her as the woman who saved him. She then takes him to a pool and shows her swimming abilities to find and even when she's different, Jake is surprised. Just then, Dominic and Jesse knock him out and kidnap Elly.
Dominic and Jesse take Elly to the docks where they tie her to an anchor and throw her to the water. The cops arrive and using his PTZD abilities, Nick swims to the sea to rescue Elly while Hank holds off Dominic and Jesse. After saving Elly, Hank remarks to Nick that he spend a long time in the sea as his skin is pale. Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) checks an e-mail sent to Nick from a known "M". In the station, Jake identifies Dominic and tells Nick and Hank that Elly is not human and that sounds crazy. They tell him everything is crazy in Portland.
A washed-up inventor, Danny Travis, takes matters into his own hands in a very extreme way when he learns that his house will be condemned and his beloved children left on the street.

He is killed during the Dunkirk evacuation, and the goose returns to Fritha, who is now grown up. She realises she had come to love Rhayader and is able to save one of the paintings he had made of her, as a child with the wounded goose, before the lighthouse and all other artwork are obliterated by a German pilot.
The play begins with a group of women returning to work at John Black's textile mill after a strike, unhappy with the deal negotiated by the union. At a meeting of workers, Gridley (a Communist) states that a union conference in July had rejected the women's request for a shilling-per-hour increase, and had now negotiated separate deals for male and female workers to end the latest strike. On Gridley's advice, the female workers vote to strike. They then march through Leeds, singing a song about "a bob an hour". They then begin to picket other textile mills at Boswell's and Bent's.
Union representative Billy Crane refuses to meet the strikers and recommends a return to work, but he does meet with John Black. They agree that the workers are being manipulated by a few political activists.
Flying pickets then visit the north-east and the strike spreads there. Some confrontations follow with those reluctant to strike. Strikers force an evacuation of workers from one mill by burning paper, and storm the gate at another mill. A woman who says that she cannot afford to strike because she has children to feed is told that this is the case for all the strikers.
The employers in Leeds struggle to reach an agreement on how to respond to the strike. Bentham is less aggressive than Black, and wants to keep good relations with the union for future job cuts.
Workers at Bentham's and Stringer's then join the strike. A week in, Maggie's mother dies and she attends her mother's funeral. Conflict grows between the strikers and the union.
Although Packer and Gridley are told to demand a shilling per hour, they are willing to find a compromise when meeting the employers. They agree a return to work for an interim rewards plus negotiations. Maggie leads a revolt against this agreement, and a huge crowd at Woodhouse Moor shouts down Gridley. Maggie claims that shop stewards are undermining the strike, and the crowd votes to continue striking.
After a few days of discussions, the committee agrees to end the strike. Mollie later slaps Joe for referring to politics as "the art of the attainable".
Shortly afterwards, many of the workers are made redundant. Gridley is given a large amount of compensation, but Peggy is given just £5 after 26 years of work.

Victor is totally unaware of his brother's new found life and is struggling to find a job and trying to win back his mother's love which is totally futile. Keji and Victor begin a relationship that is kept quiet.
As the months go by and Duke is able to buy drugs for his mum and he is able to stay in school though his grades are affected. But the new found life gets the better of him and he eventually drops out of school.
The team realise that they are being cheated by their buyer Ekun (Gregory Ojefua) who pays a flat amount for every car stolen. They want more and he isn't willing to pay more. Lati tell the team that he heard of a new buyer who would be willing to pay more. They decide to go see him. They meet with YJ (Brutus Richard), an ex-convict and former cellmate of Victor. They strike a deal and begin stealing cars for YJ.
Victor finally gets a job as a delivery boy. He still tries to make peace with his mother but she is unforgiving. Consistently working with Keji, Duke is also beginning to feel something for her. Duke asks Lati if he should proceed, Lati encourages him to go on.
On one of their deliveries to YJ, Duke meets his brother at YJ's place, and Duke is introduced as one of his “''boys''”. Victor tries to warn Duke to leave the life of crime he's begun to lead but Duke is very strong-headed and determined to see it through. His words “I can’t be poor”.
Duke and Keji finally go out on a date. Duke wants out and he tells Keji he wants to stop stealing cars and start something legitimate. But she's not ready to give it up yet. According to her, they all just got started. The new guy pays way better and life is really good. Just when he is about to tell Keji how he feels about her, Lati comes in with news that his mum has passed on. This brings Duke and Victor's world tumbling down. He goes underground for a while. Duke decides to go back into robbery but this time with an exit strategy. He wants to go to Malaysia to continue his education.
They go on a spree and exceed their deliverable. YJ is happy, but a wrong move on Duke's part causes YJ to send his men to find out their Mode of Operation.
During one of their operations, Duke sees ZEB (L.A.S.E) one of YJ's thugs following them. He confronts YJ about this and ends up getting a serious beating. Duke decides that it is time to cut ties with YJ. On their way to tell Keji, they meet Victor.
They decide to call it quits but Lati has been mismanaging his funds and begs them to do one last run.
YJ who has been spying on Duke the whole time tries stealing the money from Duke but Victor comes looking for his brother. YJ tells him that his brother has been nabbed by the police. They get into a fight and Victor ends up killing YJ.
The team go on their last trip but end up in a car chase with the police as YJ had tipped the police off. They try to run off on foot. Lati gets caught. An ambush has been laid for Keji at her home. Duke gets to the hotel where he has been staying only to find his brother being carted away by the police. Again his brother has taken the fall for Duke.
Duke leaves town.

In an Inuit community, elders take note that four men, leader Kupak and followers Aulla, Tulimaaq and Timauti, are guilty of murder, lechery and not sharing food. Consequently, they are exiled from the band and left to wander the Arctic landscape. In a nearby community, Kuanana and his wife Ailla are raising children and living in their extended family. Kuanana sets out to hunt for caribou, with the elder instructing him to take the young Siku as his hunting partner, though Kuanana's son Angutii also wishes to go. While they are absent, Kupak and Aulla, longing for women, ambush Kuanana's igloo, abducting Ailla and her daughter. Kuanana and Siku return to the igloo, and Kuanana is shocked to see it in ruins, and Angutii murdered. The elder, mortally wounded, tells Kuanana that men kidnapped Ailla and her daughter, and gives him a totem to summon a spirit guide, Kallulik, the loon. The elder then dies.
Kuanana calls for Kallulik's help and hears the loon cry, revealing the direction his wife and daughter were taken. Kallulik and Siku set out with sled dogs and a telescope. While Ailla and her daughter resist their captors and rapists, and attempt to escape, Kupak and Aulla continue to hold them captive. Feeling a low tone in his ear, Kupak takes the ailment as a bad omen and orders Tulimaaq to see if they are being followed. Kuanana spots them by telescope, and Tulimaaq also sees Kuanana is in pursuit.
Armed with a rifle, Kuanana decides he and Siku will split up, assuring Siku that he can take a passage himself. Kuanana discovers his daughter, tied up alone, and unties her and tells her to hide behind the nearby ridge; she also tips him off as to Ailla's whereabouts. Tulimaaq and Timauti are dispatched. Siku is attacked by Aulla, but coming from behind, Kuanana shoots Aulla and saves Siku. Kuanana then tells Siku to rescue his sister behind the ridge, while Kuanana himself searches for Ailla. Out of bullets, Kuanana is attacked by Kupak; they fight by hand until Ailla emerges from behind, stabbing and killing Kupak. The family is reunited.

'''Opening quote:''' "Duérmete niño, duérmete ya... Que viene el Coco y te comerá." ("Sleep child, sleep now... Or else the Bogeyman will come and eat you.")
Two weeks ago, a man named Andres Venegas (Garrett Hammond) is attacked in a gas station by two robbers, who severely wound him. In the hospital, his mother watches over him and makes a plea so the robbers don't get away and get punished for their actions. In a motel, a clawed creature watches the news reporting the attack and scratches the chair it’s sitting on.
Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) has found out about the known "M" in Nick's (David Giuntoli) email and confronts him about it. He tells her it's his mother and then explains everything about her and although the email shows that she's in trouble, he can't do anything to help her. Juliette later tracks the call to Višnja Gora, Slovenia. In Vienna, Sebastien (Christian Lagadec) spies on Adalind (Claire Coffee) getting an ultrasound and sends Meisner (Damien Puckler) to get her medical records in secret and then sends the images to Renard (Sasha Roiz), shocking him.
The same robbers attack a store and when trying to escape in a car, are killed by the clawed creature. Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) find that they robbed a store so they head there where a man named David Florez (Manny Montana) yells at them for not doing their job. The neighbourhood heard the attack but calls it a dog attack. Upon questioning witnesses, they find a man named Ray Bolton (Matt McTighe) who uses his dogs for fights. It's also revealed that the robbers were in collaboration with Bolton.
Nick and Hank arrive at Bolton's house where he is restrained to let his dogs be taken. When he senses that Nick is a Grimm, Bolton attacks him, forcing Nick to arrest him while Florez again appears to state that it was time he got arrested. In the precinct, the samples reveal that the dogs were not related to the murders. While at dinner with Juliette, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner), Nick deduces that Bolton is a Höllentier, as he showed no fear of him.
A woman, Ms. Ramos (Fernanda Stier) is then assaulted in the street by a man but the clawed creature kills the man and leaves. When questioning the woman, she states "El Cucuy" is the one who killed the men. That night, Juliette tells Nick that "El Cucuy" is a Mexican Boogeyman. Nick and Juliette then asks Pilar (Bertila Damas) about it. She explains it's a yellow-eyed creature that hears the cries of a woman but is not clear if it's a Wesen.
New footage reveals that another person left with Ms. Ramos: Ms. Garcia (Gina Gallego), one of the witnesses. Bolton and his gang attack Florez and Florez returns to his house to grab his military uniform and a knife and leaves. Nick and Hank take Ms. Garcia but stop to halt the fight between Florez and Bolton. Nick and Hank take Florez but Ms. Garcia is missing. El Cucuy kills Bolton and shifts to its human form, revealing itself to be Ms. Garcia, who senses that Nick is a Grimm. They arrest her but due to the incredibility of the story of an old lady being the savage murderer, she is released. She is later seen in Seattle where a man robs her purse and she begins to shift into El Cucuy to pursue him.
Twenty-two year old Tori Coro gets involved in an underground fighting ring in a rough section of Camden, NJ. When her bruised and beaten body is found abandoned in the woods, rumors begin to swirl that Tori died in Fight Valley, an unofficial neighborhood where fighters go to make money. Tori's sister Windsor moves to town to start her own investigation. Jabs, a respected fighter turned gym owner, agrees to train Windsor as she prepares to come face to face with Tori's killer and fight for justice
Following the Ground Zeroes Incident, the surviving MSF members bury their dead, aided by the UN. A UN member takes the body of a soldier, who had avoided being sucked into a wormhole that had opened above Mother Base shortly after the incident but had severed their arm when it closed.
Months later, the soldier awakens in a Wardenclyffe Section facility, a government research group investigating organisms and wormholes. The UN member, Goodluck, a chief researcher, enlists the soldier to enter a wormhole to Dite, another dimension. The soldier was chosen due to the Mother Base wormhole infecting him with an organism from Dite, restoring their arm but putting them at risk of becoming a zombie-like Wanderer. Goodluck dubs the soldier "Captain", and instructs them to find a cure and to rescue others transported to Dite through wormholes.
In Dite, the Captain makes their way to Base Camp, allying with Reeve, an XOF soldier sucked into the Mother Base wormhole. They find Base Camp abandoned except for Virgil AT-9, an artificial intelligence from the Charon Corps, an investigation team previously sent to Dite. Following an emergency shutdown upon their disappearance, Virgil remained dormant and its memory was partially lost. The Captain rescues several human survivors, including a boy called Chris.
Virgil eventually generates a wormhole to transport the group back to Earth, but cannot maintain it without Iris, a source of energy. They are contacted by Joseph Gruen, head of Wardenclyffe Section, claiming that Goodluck acted against orders in orchestrating the Captain's mission, before committing suicide. A black box within Virgil supports this, but Gruen vows to bring the group home. With enough Iris energy, the wormhole is opened but Gruen demands maximum energy output, attracting the Lord of Dust, a huge creature. The group is forced to enter and close the wormhole before it can follow. They are transported to a forested area of Dite instead of Earth and deduce Gruen desired the Lord of Dust to use for its vast source of energy. Goodluck instructs them to find a weapon to destroy the creature.
The Captain rescues an MSF soldier, Seth, from a Corps survivor, Dan. The group assumes Dan caused the Corps' disappearance. The Captain locates the weapon, a Metal Gear, but is confronted by Dan, who allies himself with the group. Seth betrays them, revealing that after being sucked into the Mother Base wormhole, he was taken in by the Charon Corps. He then allowed himself to become infected by the Dust, causing their dissolution. Seth transforms into a Wanderer, forcing the Captain to kill him.
Virgil reveals that he had become infected whilst Seth was with the Corps and quarantined its programming with the emergency shutdown. However, contact with Seth reversed these countermeasures, giving Virgil access to its data. He reveals that Dite is Earth in the 22nd century, caused by the Lord of Dust. Formed from energy and self-replicating nanomachines, the Lord of Dust feeds off of Iris energy and creates wormholes to transport matter to consume. Once Dite is ravaged, the Lord of Dust transports itself back in time to start the process again, causing a time loop.
Securing the Metal Gear, the group remains to destroy the Lord of Dust, but Chris is chosen to be the one to return to Earth. Attracting the Lord of Dust, the survivors use the Metal Gear to trap it, while Chris goes through the wormhole, promising to rescue them. From here, the story has two endings depending on the player's actions. If the player follows Chris, the Captain abandons the survivors and goes through the wormhole. The Lord of Dust escapes the trap and the remaining survivors are presumed dead. The Captain re-emerges in a desert dressed in their MSF uniform, picks up a photograph that appeared next to them, and wanders off. If the player stays, the Captain fires on the Lord of Dust using the Metal Gear, but only maims it before it reforms. A final message from Goodluck explains that he failed them; he is revealed to be Chris, having gone through the wormhole and ending up in 1943. Having worked his way into Wardenclyffe Section, he made his recordings for the Charon Corps and potential survivors to receive in the hope they could destroy the Lord of Dust.
Having no notion of death, the Lord of Dust is unable to be killed. Virgil enters the creature and introduces it to the concept, having created its own understanding from experience. The Captain uses the Metal Gear to destroy the Lord of Dust.
An after-credits scene shows a damaged Virgil launching from the Lord of Dust's body and returning to Base Camp, explaining to the Captain that it is still functional and will be able to continue assisting them in their mission.
In an alternate timeline, Gruen reprimands Goodluck for his mistake that the next wormhole was predicted to open above Mother Base. Goodluck deduces that the survivors have destroyed the Lord of Dust and reaffirms his vows to bring them home.
Sherlock Holmes is viewed as a legendary detective. Both he and his partner, John Watson, are to view the trial of Professor James Moriarty, but are attacked by a swarm of bees, temporarily waylaid by a package sent by Moriarty and brought to them by their housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson. At the trial, Holmes reveals the man accused of Moriarty's crimes is an imposter named Jacob Musgrave, who is incapable of committing the murders due to tremors in his hand caused by excessive masturbation. Despite attempts by Inspector Lestrade to convince Holmes that his deduction is incorrect, Holmes is convinced that Moriarty is currently traveling to the United States.
After the trial, the duo travel to Buckingham Palace to attend a surprise birthday party for Holmes, where they discover a corpse inside of a birthday cake along with a message from Moriarty, stating that Queen Victoria will die in 4 days' time. During the autopsy, Holmes and Watson meet Dr. Grace Hart and the feral Millie. Watson and Holmes become enamored with Grace and Millie, respectively. By the end of the autopsy, Watson declares that the corpse's cause of death is indeterminable, while Holmes believes that the person was poisoned. Furthermore, he believes that the poison came from Gustav Klinger. The pair eventually locate Klinger, who is indeed in league with Moriarty. Before Klinger can reveal anything, he is murdered.
Holmes decides that he must seek help from his brother Mycroft, who tells him that the murderer is someone close to him. Holmes mistakenly believes Watson to be the murderer and has him arrested. He comes to regret this decision, causing his emotions to return. Holmes goes to Watson's cell, only to find it empty save for a plate filled with red velvet cake crumbs. Deducing that his housekeeper made the cake and that Watson left the crumbs to send him a message, he tracks Watson and Mrs. Hudson, who is revealed to be Moriarty's daughter, to the ''Titanic'', where the murder of the Queen is to take place. After apologizing to and freeing Watson, they rush to the main room where they discover a bomb, which Watson throws out of a window. The bomb lands in Mrs. Hudson's boat, killing her and her accomplices.
The pair are congratulated by the Queen, only for Holmes to defer the credit to Watson. The pair reconnect with Grace and Millie, the latter of whom reveals that her feral personality was an act to manipulate men. Each pair shares a kiss before Grace and Millie head out on the ''Titanic''. After returning home, Holmes proudly displays a plaque on their building showing that Watson is a co-detective, finally giving him the recognition he desires (though it is still smaller than Holmes' own plaque). Later, Holmes and Watson confront Moriarty in a bar in the United States.
A northern rockhopper penguin named Cody Maverick lives in obscurity on Pen Gu Island, where he teaches children to surf in his own surf school alongside gentoo penguin Lani Aliikai, opposed by his rival Tank Evans, who also runs his own surf school. Cody's friend Chicken Joe is a world-famous surfer, performing in competitions around the world.
Chicken Joe leaves his world tour to visit Pen Gu island. At the same time, "The Hang 5", a team of extreme surfers and thrillseekers (consisting of giant otter Mr. McMahon, puffin Paige and penguins J.C., The Undertaker and Hunter, and their announcer Seagull), arrive on the island. Since Cody was a big fan of them from childhood, he invites the whole team to his place and throws a party in their honor. At the party, Mr. McMahon reveals that the team are on a journey to a mythical surf spot called the "Trenches" to ride a rogue wave, and further reveals to his team that he is retiring, and came to the island to find his replacement. After Mr. McMahon and Paige choose Lani, Cody and Tank respectively convince J.C. and Hunter to sponsor them as potential replacements for McMahon, the Undertaker randomly selecting Chicken Joe so that he will also have a candidate, unaware of his fame.
The group subsequently leaves the island atop a whale. Having approached an unknown coastline, they walk (and later surf) through a desert for a time (encountering quicksand), before reaching a jungle, at which the group stops for the night. The next day, while searching the jungle, they find a temple, the remains of an ancient penguin civilization that worshipped the art of surfing, Tank discovering a golden surfboard. Further, the group uses improvised hang gliders combined with surfboards to cross a lava lake on Cody's suggestion (from having viewed hieroglyphs from the temple), during which, due to his bickering with Tank, he almost knocks Chicken Joe into the lava, and The 5 harshly berate him for his behavior. Feeling immense guilt, Cody leaves overnight, while the group, feeling remorse (except for Tank, obviously) for the way they spoke to Cody (especially J.C., who said that Cody was nothing like them and he never will be), since if it wasn’t for Cody they never would’ve gotten over the lava, moves onwards towards the Palisade.
While walking back, Cody comes across another set of hieroglyphs depicting the civilization's champion riding the waves of the island and his eventual death in The Trenches, leading to Cody deciding to return to warn Chicken Joe and Lani. Meanwhile, the rest of the group arrives at The Trenches, where Seagull is struck by lightning and disintegrated; Lani deduces the "RTL" catchphrase of The Hang 5 as being in reference to the act of "ride the lightning", i.e. surfing during a thunderstorm, which they have previously done worldwide. After admitting that all members of The Hang 5 are by definition "crazy" and that one must "RTL" to join, Lani declines membership, Chicken Joe accepts an honorary membership from the Undertaker, and Tank reluctantly agrees to "RTL" in order to acquire the fame and fortune associated with being a member.
Assembling before the formation of a rogue wave, The Hang Five and Tank ride atop of it as lightning rages overhead. Having changed his mind, and in fear for his life, a redeemed Tank swims off behind the wave, pursued by lightning because of his surfboard's metallic nature, while The Hang 5 continues maneuvering between lightning bolts; the Undertaker is struck by lightning and falls into the water. He is rescued by Paige and J.C. and brought to the shoreline, where his heart is found to have stopped beating; the Undertaker is subsequently revived by Chicken Joe through the use of jellyfish stings (as natural AEDs). The group then witnesses a returning Cody rescuing Tank. After such a selfless act, Mr. McMahon invites Cody to join their team, but he refuses, having become unwilling to abandon his friends and his island. Impressed by Cody, Mr. McMahon decides to stave off his retirement and desire for "fish milk" to remain with the team further.
Over forty years since Naoto Date mysteriously vanished after killing his arch-nemesis Tiger the Great in a brutal deathmatch, the Global Wrestling Monopoly (GWM) challenged the Zipangu Pro-Wrestling team and single-handedly destroyed them along with their manager Daisuke Fuji, who was brutally defeated by GWM's top fighter Yellow Devil. The incident drove two young members, Naoto Azuma, the main protagonist of the series, and his friend Takuma Fuji, son of Daisuke, to seek revenge on the GWM and the two parted ways. While Naoto trained under Kentaro Takaoka, Naoto Date's former ally, Takuma trained under the Tiger's Den, under the leadership of Mr. X, after being recruited by Yellow Devil under the pretense of giving him the chance for revenge.
Three years later, Naoto has taken the identity of Tiger Mask and signed for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) while Takuma has taken on the identity of Tiger the Dark under the Tiger's Den, with none of them being aware of the other's identity but sharing the same goal. The GWM, under the leadership of Miss X, sees the new Tiger Mask as a threat that must be eliminated to ensure their control over the wrestling world and sends their fighters in several schemes to destroy him. Tiger Mask trains with the help of his current trainer and the aid of several pro wrestlers to become a stronger fighter with the ultimate goal to fight and defeat Yellow Devil.
Both he and Takuma have their first chance at the Masked Tournament hosted in Miss X's new Max Dome, their first step to conquering Japan, and hosting none other than Yellow Devil as one of the participants. Tiger Mask. with the advice of the Indian wrestler Mister Question, decides to develop his own signature technique and trains with his co-workers at NJPW to develop his technique. He eventually fights and defeats Takuma using an unperfected version of the move, and manages to face and defeat Yellow Devil but, much to his surprise, finds another man to have taken on its identity, leaving Naoto's and Takuma's quest inconclusive but with the revelation to Takuma that Tiger Mask is also looking after Yellow Devil. Takuma is eventually demoted to undergo the Tiger's Execution, which would make him a living punching bag, but decides to take the "Hell in the Hole" trial, an illegal wrestling match with several bets carrying a special chance which can restore him as a main fighter but at the risk of losing his life if he fails.
The "Hell in the Hole" trial begins, with its participants being wrestlers defeated by Tiger Mask, including Odin, Billy the Kidman, Black Python and Red Death Mask, as well as Ricardo, Cox, Phantom, Takuma and Kevin, Takuma's friend. The fight is a battle royale with no rules, wrestlers are given weapons after defeating contestants and alliances are possible too. Takuma and Kevin team up and eventually prevail over Odin, Billy the Kidman and Red Death Mask while the rest were eliminated. Takuma and Kevin are forced to fight a "gatekeeper" to gain their escape, but the wrestler is discovered to be a powerful robot. Odin regains conscience and aids the duo using a firebreath tool on the robot's face, which causes it to malfunction and assault the nearby spectators. The strongest wrestler of the Tiger's Den, Tiger the Third, faces and easily defeats the robot with a piledriver. Takuma, Kevin and Odin thus succeed in the Hell in the Hole, but Odin quits the GWM.
The GWM then prepares their next big tournament, Wrestle Max War Game, which will pit wrestlers from all around the world for the right to challenge Tiger the Third, who is the World Heavyweight Champion, for the belt and a Million Dollar Prize. Tiger the Third will also participate in the event himself. Naoto decides to enter the tournament in order to become champion, as it will allow him to select his opponents and as such be able to force the true Yellow Devil out of hiding. Thinking that the battle may not play out one-on-one, Naoto decides to request Fukuwara Mask to partner with him to increase his chances of winning.
The day of the War Game begins and the rules are explained, the wrestlers will fight in a pyramid-shaped ring with five stages and a ground level. They are divided in four blocks which are interconnected and when the bell sounds, they will be able to move between blocks. Once a wrestler defeats an opponent, he will be allowed to move to the next stage, where he fights his next opponent, and repeat the process until the first two fighters are standing at the top stage of the ring, at which point the battle is over. Following an interval the two combatants will fight and the winner earns the right to challenge Tiger the Third. The Champion, being one of the participants, declares that whoever defeats him can take the belt. Surprisingly, a man taking the name of Yellow Devil is also a participant, causing Naoto and Takuma to pursue him.
The fights rage, and Takuma finds and easily defeats Yellow Devil, unmasking him as an impostor. Tiger the Third faces Ryu Wakamatsu in his Dragon Young persona, Fukuwara Mask and Tetsuya Naito, making him the first fighter to get to the top. Tiger Mask and Tiger the Dark face off once more with the fight being even grounded. Tiger Mask uses his Tiger Driver move, but Takuma is able to counter it at the last moment. Before Naoto and Takuma can resume their fight, Kevin interferes and ambushes Naoto, allowing Takuma to defeat him, thus Tiger the Dark is able to challenge Tiger the Third for the championship. A recess takes place before the fight, but Takuma is revealed to be greatly injured as a result of Naoto's knee strike.
Before his match, Takuma is alerted that Tiger the Third is potentially the true Yellow Devil. In order to confirm it, he bets his mask with Tiger the Third, which he accepts. The match begins and Takuma seemingly gains the upper hand. Tiger the Third then confirms Takuma's suspicions that he's indeed Yellow Devil by using his old signature techniques. Takuma is able to counter his Devil's Crush and almost defeats The Third. However, the injuries caused by Naoto take his toll and Tiger the Third uses his true finishing move Sacrifice, greatly injuring Takuma and causing his defeat. The Third then unmasks Takuma, revealing his identity to Naoto, who rushes to his friend's side revealing his own identity as well as he's transported to the hospital.
A mysterious trio of wrestlers calling themselves the "Miracle 3" appear and sabotage several NJPW matches by committing fouls, while promising to keep "multiplying". After Tiger Mask battles one of GWM's strongest fighters, King Tiger, and defeats him in a deadly fight, Miss X agrees to let Tiger Mask challenge Tiger the Third, but bind him by a contract that forces him to betray NJPW and align himself with the Miracles. As the battles escalate, Tiger Mask, desperate to get his match with Tiger the Third, sinks to committing fouls along with the Miracles in the matches, which destroys his reputation.
During a final encounter between the Miracles and NJPW in a 5-on-5 match, Tiger Mask is cruelly used as a tool in order to secure a victory against Kazuchika Okada, NJPW's strongest wrestler. Before NJPW is able to win against the Miracles, Tigert the Third and Miss X interrupt the match. Tiger Mask attempts to attack Tiger the Third, but is easily countered. Miss X then announces the Final Wars, the ultimate confrontation between NJPW and the GWM, where the winner will take all the belts from the losers, effectively making it an all-or-nothing match. Yuji Nagata reluctantly accepts the challenge. Meanwhile, Tiger Mask is struggling, as his recent actions have eroded his trust with NJPW, leaving him alone and still bound to the GWM by contract, despite his assault against Tiger the Third. As a result, he is forced by Miss X to fight Mr. Miracle IV in another match. Mr. Miracle IV reveals himself to be Universal Mask, an expert in aerial combat while the two fight in a special ring elevated from the floor level and with pipes, giving Universal Mask a one-sided advantage, which is meant to punish Tiger Mask for his betrayal. Tiger Mask eventually defeats him thanks to Fukuwara Mask's advice, but has difficulties in developing a new killer move.
Tiger Mask decides to go to Kyoto in order to gain inspiration for a killer move from the Arashi Dojo, just like Naoto Date did at one point. However, he comes to find two Dojos, with one being a fake. Tiger Mask helps unravel the impostor and gains useful advice from the true master, but is still not sufficient knowledge. The Final Wars begin between NJPW and GWM. During the first fight, NJPW gains an advantage but Mr. Miracle III interferes, causing Tiger Mask to intercept the Miracles' foul combo and rendering the match a no contest. Immediately after, as per the contract with the GWM, Tiger Mask is forced to fight the final fight against Mr. Miracle II, who is GWM's coach O'Connor, in a Lumberjack match where any fighter who leaves the ring must be returned by seconds. However, the match quickly becomes vicious as Mr. Miracle III continuously pushes Tiger outside the ring to be mercilessly punished by GWM's seconds, effectively making it a 4-on-1 fight. Having regained their trust, NJPW interferes on Tiger Mask's behalf, allowing him to defeat Mr. Miracle III and reform their alliance.
After losing two fights against NJPW, Tiger's Den sends on their strongest reinforcements, Big Tiger the Second and Black Tiger, two wrestlers who are part of Tiger's Den Four Heavenly Kings, along with the previously defeated King Tiger, whose strength is only surpassed by Tiger the Third. A tag match is scheduled with Big Tiger the Second and Black Tiger against Tiger Mask and Yuji Nagata. The NJPW pair, however, is soundly defeated and Nagata is seriously injured by Big Tiger the Second. Takuma requests Naoto to allow him to use his training him to accelerate his recovery and Takaoka agrees.
The Final Wars begin, consisting of five different matches. The first one ends in a draw between Black Tiger and Togi Makabe as they are both counted out. The second match is a double tag-match with Black Tiger and Tiger the Third vs Makabe and Kazuchika Okada. Makabe is able to knock Black Tiger unconscious, but is himself defeated by Tiger the Third's Devil Crush, earning GWM a win. In the next round, a triple tag-match, Big Tiger the Second, Mr. Miracle I and Mr. Miracle II face Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tiger Mask and Tiger the Dark, who joins NJPW. During the fight, Mr. Miracle II unmasks himself as Kevin and battles Takuma until he is knocked unconscious by Tiger Mask's new killer move Tiger Fang. However, Big Tiger the Second defeats Tanahashi with his Skewer move, granting GWM a second win. The following round is a double tag-match of Tiger Mask and Tiger the Dark vs Tiger the Third and Big Tiger the Second. During the fight, Tiger the Third unmasks Naoto by ripping his mask. Tiger the Dark, with renewed strength from his father's encouragement, assaults Tiger the Third and Big Tiger the Second with his new killer move, Crossbow, injuring them both and allowing Naoto to defeat Big Tiger the Second, earning NJPW a win. For the fifth single match, Mr. Miracle I faces NJPW's champion Okada. However, Mr. Miracle I blinds Okada by spitting Asian Mist into his eyes.
Okada is able to defeat Mr. Miracle I despite his handicap, but his arm is badly injured, so Naoto fights with a new patched mask under the name Tiger Mask W to face Tiger the Third in a Sudden Death Match. The two fight, with Naoto combining his own moves alongside Takuma's. Although effective, Tiger the Third severely injures Naoto with a chain of Devil's Tornadoes. Attempting to defeat him with the Devil's Crush, the move fails and Naoto counters and injures Tiger the Third. The two clash for a final time, but Tiger the Third's arm gives out, causing him to be unable to counter Naoto's Tiger Fang. Tiger the Third is instantly defeated, which causes the destruction of the Tiger's Den. Naoto and Takuma part ways, deciding to fight abroad using new masks made of a combination of their former masks and calling themselves Tiger Mask W. They vowed to meet each other again in the ring, either as a tag team or as opponents.
Following Naoto and Takuma's departure, Miss X founds and leads her own organization, Girls Wrestling Movement, recruiting Haruna Takaoka to serve as her main fighter under her Spring Tiger (later Springer) alter ego, along with her friends Milk and Mint. Although Haruna is initially reluctant to pursue a wrestling career due to Yoko Takaoka's disapproval, who is against it because the truth about her hero Tiger Mask made her mother despise the sport she had always revered as a child, after a month of fighting and later defeating Japan's strongest female wrestler, Mother Devil, along with Miss X's encouragement, she builds up the courage to tell her family.

At Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson watch their favorite show, ''Gotham Palace''. During the programming, a band that was supposed to play on the show is revealed to be hidden and replaced by the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Catwoman. Bruce and Dick suit up as Batman and Robin and head towards the Gotham City Police Department, where they receive a riddle from Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara.
They discover that the villains are robbing the Acme Atomic Energy Laboratory of the Replication Ray, which can duplicate anything. After a brief fight, the criminals manage to escape Batman, but leave behind a clue that leads the Caped Crusaders to their lair in an abandoned TV dinner factory. While discussing what to do with the Replication Ray, Catwoman reveals her plan to make Batman join their side with a scratch from a substance called "Batnip". After Batman and Robin break in, they are defeated by the criminals and trapped on a frozen food tray heading towards a large oven. Catwoman uses her Batnip on Batman, but he is supposedly unaffected by it. The two escape the trap after the villains leave the factory.
Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce starts showing signs of aggression after Aunt Harriet nearly discovers the Batcave. He blames Alfred Pennyworth for the incident and fires him, leaving the butler to wander on the streets homeless. After days of not finding Joker, Penguin, Riddler, and Catwoman, Batman deduces that the four crooks are no longer on Earth and have hijacked a space station. He and Robin go into space with the help of their Bat-Rocket. At the space station, Joker, Penguin, and Riddler betray Catwoman, distrusting her due to her feelings for Batman. They try to throw her out into space, but she is rescued by the Dynamic Duo and aids them in defeating her former allies for revenge. Batman savagely beats the three men and recovers the Replication Ray, but Catwoman escapes in an escape pod in the process.
After the mission, Dick expresses concern towards Bruce's increasingly hostile behavior. Bruce ejects Dick from the house and takes a break from being Batman, resulting in a crime spree in Gotham City. A few weeks later, Batman returns to the Gotham City Police Department and blames the police for the increase in crime. He uses the Replication Ray on himself to replace most of the government, jobs, and citizens in Gotham with his replicas, planning to take over the world. Dick, realizing that the Batnip had a delayed effect on Batman, goes to Catwoman's lair as Robin to request her help in curing Batman. She agrees, as the effects of the Batnip were more severe than she had planned.
The two take the Catmobile to the Batcave, where Catwoman attempts to give Batman the antidote, but Batman anticipated it and took the Bat Anti-Antidote. Batman defeats the two in a fight and leaves them to die in the Atomic Pile, but they survive thanks to Robin's Bat Anti Isotope Spray. Knowing they cannot take on an army of Batmen by themselves, Robin and Catwoman disguise themselves as prison inspectors and break most of Batman's rogues gallery from Gotham State Penitentiary by claiming to Warden Crichton that the ball and chains and pickaxes are not in good shape, replacing them with versions that carry the villains out of the prison. While a prison guard tells Crichton that Joker, Penguin, and Riddler did not escape, the three of them mysteriously turn into a pile of dust.
The two confront Batman and his army on the ''Gotham Palace'' set, but they still lose even with the help of the criminals. Before Batman kills Robin and Catwoman, a disguised Alfred arrives and gives Batman a strong enough antidote to counter the Bat Anti-Antidote. Batman returns to normal, and the rest of his clones turn to dust as the Replication Ray was not strong enough to make perfect clones. Batman realizes that his behavior change was used as a distraction by Joker, Penguin, and Riddler, and that the ones they arrested were copies; the real ones have been using the opportunity to rob the Gotham Art Museum. Batman, Robin, and Catwoman (who came as vengeance for what they did at the space station) chase them to Penguin's blimp, where the villainous trio is defeated after they are knocked off the blimp to a safe location to be arrested. Catwoman tries to escape with the stolen paintings, but Batman recovers them. Unwilling to be imprisoned, Catwoman allows herself to fall into a smokestack.
Bruce and Dick then throw Aunt Harriet a surprise birthday party, acting as if that is the secret they have been hiding from her. During the party, Bruce and Dick are called away by the Bat-Signal.

In 1985, police officers tell Patrick that something has happened to his brother and his family. Jane, a blood-covered teenager, is found by police. The song "Lavender Blue" plays in the background. Jane is raised by a foster family and has no memory of her family or the tragedy.
In 2010, Jane owns a studio, selling photographs she takes of abandoned farmhouses. She has a strained relationship with her husband Alan and their young daughter Alice, partly because she has memory lapses. On one excursion, she is drawn to the farmhouse from the beginning of the film. Days later, Jane has a car accident and wakes up in the hospital but doesn't recognize Alan and Alice. A doctor explains that the crash aggravated a childhood head injury, the reason for her missing childhood.
Jane receives a mysterious gift, a music-box dancer and a photo from 1985 of the farmhouse she recently photographed. The property records reveal that Jane owns the farmhouse and it has been cared for by Patrick, her uncle. The hospital psychiatrist, Liam, suggests that she visit to try to recover repressed memories. The family decides to visit and meet Patrick, who lives at the next farm. A clerk at a local antiques store shows her a framed page of a 1985 newspaper, detailing the massacre of her family and the suspicion that Jane was responsible. Jane sees Liam, but he leaves before she can approach him.
Jane receives another gift box with a torn family photo featuring young Jane, Susie, and a blurry image of their mother, Jennifer. That night, she sees Susie imploring her to "come find us". She visits Patrick, who says that Jane is the only one who knows what happened to her family. Jane later sees Susie again, who says that they need to hide from "the monster". Alice tells Alan that the girl warned her about the monster in the bedroom, while a nice lady taught her the "Lavender" song.
As Jane insists they leave, Alice screams that a man was chasing her and begins to have an asthma attack. The spirits won't let Jane leave the house when Alan rushes Alice to the hospital. She finds a music box in Susie's room, containing the other half of the torn family photo, revealing Liam to be Jane's father.
Jane finally remembers what happened the night her family died: The sisters heard Patrick enter the house and hid under the bed, but Patrick pulled Susie out and was preparing to molest her when their parents arrived home (Jennifer, her mother, who turns out to be the antiques store clerk). Jennifer grabs a hammer and finds Patrick on Susie, who suffers an asthma attack. Patrick kills Jennifer with the hammer, then chases Jane, who runs into Liam. They crash down the stairs, killing Liam and causing Jane’s head injuries. Patrick finds Susie dead of her asthma attack, so he places the hammer in Liam's hand and leaves. Jane wakes up and crawls into the corner the police found her in, covered in Liam's blood.
Adult Jane sits with Liam, who explains that the family's spirits were trapped and could only lead her to the truth so she could set them free. Alan comes and says he dropped Alice off at Patrick's. They rush there as Patrick is preparing to molest Alice, and he shoots at Alan. Jane hits Patrick with a shovel. Patrick wakes up as Jane drags him into Susie's room. As he begs her not to leave him there, she tells him he can plead his case to the family and leaves. The movie ends as Patrick desperately cries for his life.

'''Opening quote:''' "We don't believe, we only fear."
Renard (Sasha Roiz) tells Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) he will leave for Europe to discuss the family crisis. Meanwhile, a family takes their son, Daniel (Gabriel Suttle) to a church to get an exorcism. During the exorcism, Daniel kills the monsignor, wounds the seminary student and then hides.
During the investigation, Nick and Hank find Daniel in the church and take him to St. Joseph's Hospital for a diagnosis. They talk with Mr. Keary (Tim Griffin), who explains that about a year ago, Daniel began to change mentally and physically. Nick and Hank begin to deduce that Daniel is a Wesen. Renard arrives at Vienna and is picked by Meisner (Damien Puckler), who sets him in a safe house as the Royals may send someone to kill him. Meanwhile, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is called by someone who states that he'll send a car so she can go to a house.
The student wakes up and tells Nick and Hank that what he saw wasn't Daniel, it was instead a true demon. Nick and Hank then see Daniel change into the "demon". Upon telling Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner), they deduce that Daniel is a very rare and much feared Grausen. The stories state that through lack of better understanding of the cause, they presumed perhaps some kind of Wesen spirit would invade a child's body, and if said Grausen were left to grow into adulthood they'd invariably become much feared psychopaths wreaking total havoc. So they have to follow Wesen rules and need to report it to the Wesen Council; where the punishment for Daniel would be a sudden disappearance leading to a death sentence. However, if they don't report it, then they too might incur a death sentence for their non-reporting and disloyalty.
De Groot (Nurmi Husa) dispatches Alexander (Spencer Conway) to kill Daniel. While investigating in the books, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) finds that as there were high blood cell count, fever and his stressed immune system, they may be dealing with an infectious disease. They question the parents and discover that during a visit to Jordan, Daniel swam in the Dead Sea and then began experiencing flu-like symptoms. The doctors gave him medication and he was soon fine. In the safe house, Renard and Meisner are attacked by two men from the Verrat and kill them and escape to the sewers, certain more will come.
Recalling a study made by a colleague, Juliette deduces that perhaps the kid is infected by some kind of rare parasite similar to toxoplasmosis and if so, if they can find a way to kill the protozoa inside Daniel, the illness/behavior will stop and they could save him before more drastic actions are taken against him by 'The Council'. Alexander visits Monroe and Rosalee and they are forced to tell him the location of Daniel (though Monroe insists on informing Nick). Nick, Hank and Juliette rush to Daniel's room in the hospital but he'd already been discharged, his parents already taken him home. Alexander tries to kill Daniel but Daniel fights back and escapes to the woods. Due to the low temperature, the parasitic organisms perish and Daniel returns to normal. Nick decides to release Alexander and gives him Daniel's medical report proclaiming him cured. Alexander gives the records to De Groot while Nick writes his notes on the diaries, adding that: Subsequent tests proved that hypothermia is able to kill the unicellular eukaryotic organism, identified as Daemoni Adspicio, which is the cause of 'Grausen'.
On the eve of his fortieth birthday, Sergey Makarov (Oleg Yankovsky) is summing up his life. But nothing brings satisfaction to him, neither wife, mistress, work, or friends.
At forty a person achieves many things, but previous ideals often lose their value. Sergey becomes completely confused, he is not bound to his wife with anything other than obligations, and he develops affection for a young girl named Alisa (Elena Kostina). Sergey is loved by a beautiful woman Larisa (Lyudmila Gurchenko), working with him at the drawing board, but he ignores her crush towards him. However, he uses her car, knowing that she is always willing to bail him out. Sergei's supervisor, Nikolai Pavlovich (Oleg Tabakov) loves her but without reciprocation. Alice has one boyfriend, a young guy (Oleg Menshikov), slickly wooing her. He easily wins against Sergei in arm wrestling, to which Sergei responds with shouting "cock-a-doodle-doo" under the table at his birthday party, to which all colleagues and his young sweetheart are invited.
The main character of the film begins to experience a middle-age crisis; it seems that a big part of everything he wanted, is in fact, nothing more than empty vanity. Constant feeling of discomfort and dissatisfaction makes the hero rush between the people and do strange things in the hope that there will be a change in his life, that something will happen what was previously unavailable.
"Oh, Sergei, Sergei, how jealous I was of you in college, ... but now, I regret it, everything about your life is topsy-turvy, – says Sergei's boss, Nicholai Pavlovich in a conversation in the kitchen, thus explaining Sergei's strange behavior which is evident to everyone. – Well, you are sick Sergei, do you not comprehend this?"
Linda Edleman is married to a wealthy and successful Dallas real estate developer Robert. Living in a beautiful home with two children, the couple seems to have it all. Unbeknownst to many, however, is that Linda is physically abused by her husband. One day, she decides she has had enough, packs her stuff and moves back in with her parents John and Virginia. Advised by her lawyer, Linda leaves the children behind in the family's home, reasoning that this way their lives will not be drastically changed. Her parents are upset with this decision, and assign her to a well-established lawyer, Ike Vanden Eykel.
In order to acquire full custody, and to prevent a court case from being pursued, Robert hires a private investigator James Young, and offers him a large sum of money to kill her. A mutual friend, Fred Zabitowski brings Young in contact with the assassin, Zack. After Zack tracks her in the mall and on the highway, Linda starts to notice that she is being followed and rushes to Vanden Eykel's office for help. There, Zack reveals himself as an FBI agent in disguise. The FBI informs Linda that while they have enough evidence to put Young behind bars, they need more evidence to catch Robert. FBI agent Masterson specifically wants to wait until Robert makes the payment for the hit.
Zack tries to stall the murder as long as possible, in order for the FBI to collect as much evidence as possible, but soon Young and Robert grow impatient. Therefore, the FBI decides to stage her murder, taking all her valuable belongings as 'proof', while hiding Linda in a cabin by the lake. Robert, however, grows suspicious when her body does not show up, and stalls the payment. After the FBI informs him of Linda's 'disappearance', Robert starts to take procedures to legally keep his children. This upsets Linda, who considers going back to Dallas to stop Robert, but Zack convinces her to keep low for at least one more day. After Young makes the payment to Zack, he and Robert are arrested for conspiracy to murder, and sentenced to ten years in jail.
Bradley Thomas is laid off from his job at an auto repair shop. When he arrives home, he finds a hickey on his wife, Lauren, who admits to an extramarital affair.

In prison, Bradley is visited by the Placid Man, a henchman of Eleazar, and is told that unless Bradley assassinates an inmate named Christopher Bridge, who is held in Cell Block 99 at Redleaf, a maximum-security prison, the limbs of his unborn child will be surgically removed by an abortionist and sent to him. Bradley reluctantly accepts and picks a fight with multiple guards until he is overpowered and transferred to Redleaf.
At Redleaf, Bradley encounters the authoritarian Warden Tuggs, who demeans him and sends Bradley to a dilapidated cell. He eventually learns from a fellow inmate who informs him that Cell Block 99 is for society's most despised criminals. Bradley then devises a plan and starts a brawl with other prisoners, resulting in him being sent to Cell Block 99 and forced to wear a stun belt. Bradley speaks to a man in an adjacent cell, who informs him that Christopher Bridge does not exist at all.
During the night, Wilson, one of the Redleaf guards, escorts Bradley to another cell within Cell Block 99, where Eleazar and his gang, including Roman, are held. They intend to torture Bradley for their amusement throughout his incarceration at Redleaf. Bradley then devises a plan and places the rubber from his shoe linings between his body and belt to prevent the stuns. He ambushes Wilson and another guard, killing the former. He later brutally kills most of Eleazar's gang, leading Eleazar to call the abortionist to start the operation. Eleazar threatens Bradley to no avail, with Bradley taking Eleazar's phone and torturing him until Eleazar calls off the operation.
The Placid Man and the abortionist follow Eleazar's instructions and drive Lauren unharmed to Gil's house. As they drive away, Gil retrieves a hidden rifle and kills the Placid Man. Lauren then takes the rifle and shoots the abortionist. Gil phones Bradley to inform him that his family is finally safe and then Bradley speaks to Lauren about their unborn child. Bradley then decapitates Eleazar in his cell. Tuggs and his guards emerge and execute Bradley.

After an argument with Mackey she predicts the location of the next murder to be a biker bar.

Viktor wants to find out who killed Eric and also says that he is Renard's (Sasha Roiz) cousin. Adalind tells him about Renard and also about Nick (David Giuntoli), identifying him as a Grimm. Back in Portland, a man named Gregorek (Matthew Willig) breaks into a house and begins to rob it. Someone enters the house and Gregorek kills him using his Wesen form.
When Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the scene, Nick thinks that the creature was a Siegbarste again. Meanwhile, a city worker lowers to a sewer to fix it when he hears sounds from inside and is killed by a creature. In Vienna, Renard (Sasha Roiz) and Meisner (Damien Puckler) meet with Sebastien (Christian Lagadec), who reveals that Viktor will meet with two men, Frenay and Tavitian, the former being the prime suspect of Eric's murder.
Nick and Hank are sent to investigate the murder and while inspecting the sewers, Wu (Reggie Lee) finds the worker's leg. In his backpack, many items from the robbed houses are revealed, linking the murderer to the man killed in the house. The examination also reveals that the marks belong to that of an alligator. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) suggests that the killer is a Gelumcaedus. Along with Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), Nick and Hank find that the Gelumcaedus are ancient creatures who protected the sewers.
Acquiring a map, Nick and Hank find that the sewers connect to all the robberies in the area. They travel to the sewers where they are attacked by a Gelumcaedus. Hank manages to knock him with a rifle and it woges back to his human form, revealed to be Gregorek, who says: "Dēcapitāre". In Vienna, Renard, Meisner and Sebastien arrive at the meeting with Frenay, who is executing a man for betraying them and tells Meisner to kill him. In the station, Nick and Hank try to make Gregorek confess but he refuses. Nick learns from Rosalee that the word "Dēcapitāre" means "he who decapitates" in Latin.
Hank goes home, calling Nick believing that there may have been one or two others involved in the killings, as some took place at the same time as others. Hank is then attacked by another Gelumcaedus and subdued and taken to the sewers. The man, Andre (Ernie Joseph) calls Nick and demands that he releases his brother, Gregorek or he will kill Hank. Nick accepts Andre's terms and releases Gregorek and takes him to the sewers. However, the brothers decide to kill them with the help of another Gelumcaedus. Nick frees Hank and battle the Gelumcaedus brothers, killing Andre and the other brother, and arrest Gregorek again. Adalind's room is revealed to be watched over by Viktor while Nick returns the armor to the trailer while uttering the word, "Dēcapitāre, I kind of like it".
Alma is a 20-year-old girl and adores her grandfather, a man who has not spoken for years. When the elderly man also refuses to eat, the girl decides to recover the millenary tree that the family sold against his will.

Ichigo Kurosaki is a fifteen-year-old high school student who lives in Karakura Town with his father, Isshin, and younger twin sisters, Karin and Yuzu. He also has the ability to see ghosts, a talent that attracts the attention of a katana-wielding young woman in a black kimono. She introduces herself as Rukia Kuchiki while explaining to Ichigo that she is a Soul Reaper, a psychopomp who guides the departed to the Soul Society and purify those who remained among the living and transformed into monstrous beings called Hollows. At that time, a Hollow that Rukia was hunting named Fishbone D attacks Ichigo's home after sensing his high spiritual energy. Rukia is wounded in the attempt to protect the Kurosaki family and forced to transfer her powers into a desperate Ichigo so he can defeat the Hollow as a Soul Reaper. After discovering Rukia has enrolled in his class the following day, Ichigo learns that she has lost her power and he must serve as her substitute until he amassed enough Reiyoku energy from defeating Hollows to transfer Rukia's powers back to her.
Meanwhile, Soul Reaper captain Byakuya Kuchiki, Rukia's older brother, sends his lieutenant Renji Abarai to retrieve her. A brief altercation between Ichigo and Renji occurs before the latter is driven off by arrows fired by Ichigo's classmate Uryū Ishida. Uryū reveals himself to be of a tribe of spiritually aware humans called Quincies, who were nearly wiped out by the Soul Reapers as they obliterate Hollows rather than purify them. Uryū declares himself an enemy of all Soul Reapers as he challenges Ichigo to a Hollow hunting competition, having deliberately summoned the monsters to Karakura Town.
While Ichigo and Rukia are fighting a Hollow, Hexapodus, they are confronted by Renji and Byakuya. After Renji defeats Ichigo, Byakuya scolds Rukia for having broken the Soul Society's laws by giving Ichigo her powers while giving her an ultimatum: either extract her Reiryoku from Ichigo or return to the Soul Society to be trialed and punished accordingly. As the former choice would result in Ichigo's death since he had not amassed the ideal amount for his survival, Rukia resigns herself for punishment. But Ichigo stops her at the last minute and makes a deal with Byakuya, to purify the infamous Hollow Grand Fisher to gain enough Reiryoku for a non-fatal transfer.
As Ichigo vigorously training for the confrontation catches the interest of his classmates Yasutora Sado and Orihime Inoue, he learns that Grand Fisher was the being who killed his mother Masaki when he was a child. While visiting Masaki's grave, Karin and Yuzu are attacked by Grand Fisher. Ichigo is able to free his sisters before taking Grand Fisher on in a highly destructive fight and defeating him with Uryū's support, only for the two to be ambushed and Uryū injured by Renji, who with Byakuya decided to renege on their deal. Though Ichigo manages to overpower Renji, Byakuya steps in and defeats Ichigo with overwhelming pace. Rukia intervenes, convincing Byakuya to spare Ichigo as she extracts her Reiryoku while parting ways with him. The next day, due to the Soul Society's influence, everyone in Karakura Town has forgotten Rukia and everyone thinks the damage to the town from the battle with Grand Fisher was caused by a tornado. However, Ichigo sees a note Rukia had left in his book and seemingly regains his memories.
Captain Haruo Sakaki bears a seething hatred towards Godzilla, which killed his parents during the exodus from Earth. He believes the planet selected for colonization, Tau-e, is uninhabitable and tries to force the ship's committee to rescind the order to send the elderly, including his grandfather, to scout the planet. Haruo is arrested and then witnesses the exploratory shuttle explode while entering the planet's atmosphere. He then anonymously publishes a classified essay on Godzilla's weak points provided by the Exif priest named Metphies. This sways public opinion among the population forcing the central committee into returning to Earth after deciding that they are unlikely to find another habitable world.
The ''Aratrum'' arrives in Earth orbit and sends reconnaissance drones to scout the surface which reveal that Godzilla is still alive. Metphies arranges Haruo's bail and he explains to the committee that Godzilla has a vulnerability. It is an electromagnetic pulse-producing organ in its body which generates an asymmetrical permeable shield making it impervious to all damage except for a short period when the organ recycles. Haruo proposes using that window to crack the shield organ and quickly implant an EMP probe into Godzilla to cause an implosion from the resulting energy buildup. He stresses that close quarters combat would be needed for accurately coordinated attacks in order to find the organ and requests a force of 600 people to implement the plan.
When Haruo and the two battalions reach Earth's surface, they learn that almost 20,000 years have elapsed due to relativistic effects. Also, Godzilla's presence on the planet has radically altered Earth's biosphere. They suffer losses and damage to their landing ships by flying creatures called Servums. The remaining troops mobilize and soon encounter Godzilla. Haruo proceeds with the original plan on his own and attacks Godzilla before Leland intervenes and provoke Godzilla, his death allowing the others to learn Godzilla's weak point is its dorsal fins. Command falls to Metphies, who promotes Haruo to commander as the human convinces the remaining survivors to continue with the plan and defeat Godzilla.
The group manage to trap Godzilla within a collapsed mountain pass, where they succeed in killing the monster. However, it appears to only be an offspring and the original Godzilla, which has grown to 300m in height, emerges from beneath a nearby mountain and destroys most of the remaining crew. Trapped beneath rubble, Haruo watches Godzilla leave while vowing to kill it before losing consciousness.
In a post-credits scene, Haruo wakes up in a secluded area and sees an indigenous girl standing next to him.

The film takes place during the day and evening of the wedding between Dunni Coker (Adesua Etomi), a 24-year-old art gallery owner who is the only daughter of Engineer Bamidele and Mrs. Tinuade Coker, and the IT entrepreneur Dozie Onwuka (Banky Wellington), who comes from a very wealthy family. His mother, Lady Obianuju Onwuka, considers her son to be marrying beneath himself.
During the morning before the wedding, the wedding party is prepared and the stressed wedding planner Wonu is trying to make everything perfect for her rich clients. Meanwhile, the bride's parents and female relatives are upset by the omission of Tinuade Coker's name in the announcement in the paper, and the groom's parents share an uncomfortable breakfast while the mother talks disparagingly about the Coker family to her friends and is very cold towards her husband, Chief Felix Onwuka. Dunni is taunted by her female friends about her lack of sexual experience, and Dozie's male friends tease him about the previous night's bachelor party. The best man has been in an accident after the bachelor party, and the irresponsible Sola is chosen as his replacement.
During the wedding ceremony, guests and family are cheerful, with the exception of Obianuju Onwuka who pointedly refuses to pay any attention, to the embarrassment of Felix. Afterwards, while the cars are going from the ceremony to the party, Dunni finds a pair of women's underpants in the pocket of Dozie's dress jacket, and is upset. He convinces her that they had been planted there, probably by one of his friends, and they belatedly arrive at the party. A disagreement arises between the two pairs of parents about which group should enter the dining room first; eventually, the Onwukas, being the richer family, get the first entrance.
The dinner had its share of embarrassing incidents, including Tinuade Coker having hired a local Yoruba chef to cook an alternative to the fancy menu set by Obianuju Onwuka. When Sola gives his best man's speech, he accidentally shows video footage from the stag night instead of the video prepared by Dozie for the occasion, and the humiliated Dunni leaves the room after having witnessed what looks like Dozie being unfaithful to her. She is met outside the room by one of Dozie's old girlfriends, Rosie, who claims that she had sex with Dozie earlier that day - in reality, Rosie had tried to seduce him but failed. Dunni disappears from the venue in a taxi.
Dozie, his older brother Nonso, and the two sets of parents set out to look for Dunni but are held up at gunpoint by a thief who has managed to get into the room with the wedding gifts. The tense situation causes the couples to open up to each other, with Dozie's mother confessing to her husband how unhappy she had been about his affairs with younger women, and Dunni's father admitting that his company had lost all its money. The couples reconcile, and Nonso manages to overpower the thief and take his gun. Dozie goes off in a car with Sola to find Dunni, and convinces her that he has in fact not broken their mutual promise of chastity. They return to the wedding party to dance the rest of the night away.
Shelby and Matt Miller sit in an interview for a documentary called ''My Roanoke Nightmare''. Through a combination of dramatic re-enactment and testimonials, the couple reveal that they fled to North Carolina from Los Angeles and bought an abandoned colonial farmhouse, outbidding a hostile trio of local farmers. As they begin restoring the house, they experience several disturbing incidents of what they consider to be community hostility.
After Shelby is attacked, Matt installs security cameras around the property and has his sister Lee stay with Shelby. Lee witnesses Shelby drinking and tells her that she is barely holding on to her sobriety and would appreciate if Shelby did not drink alcohol around her.
While Matt is away on a business trip, the house is surrounded by knife and torch wielding intruders. Lee and Shelby track one of them down into the basement, where they find a television playing a creepy found footage film about a man encountering a creature who has the head of a pig and the body of a man. The power fails and the two women are trapped in the basement. When the power is restored, the two women find that the mob has strung up wooden dolls and totems across the entire upstairs. Matt returns and Shelby flees into the woods, where she is encircled by the mob that broke into her house and a man with his scalp removed from his head, exposing his brain.
Ingrid Thorburn is a mentally unstable young woman in Pennsylvania.
After crashing the wedding of Instagram influencer, Charlotte Buckwald, and pepper spraying her, Ingrid checks in to a recovery facility where she "writes" to Charlotte as if she knows her when, in reality, Charlotte commented on one of her pictures once and Ingrid has no way of getting letters to Charlotte.
After being released, Ingrid learns of a social media influencer named Taylor Sloane from a magazine article. She rents a house in Venice from Dan Pinto, an aspiring screenwriter, and gets a makeover in her style with money inherited from her recently deceased mother.
After running into Taylor at one of her favorite bookstores, Ingrid follows her to her house and kidnaps her dog, Rothko. After Taylor puts up "lost dog" posters in the neighborhood, Ingrid returns Rothko, meeting Taylor and her husband Ezra. Ingrid accepts their offer to stay for dinner. The next day, Dan lends Ingrid his truck to help Taylor move some items to her home in Joshua Tree, on the condition that she return that evening to take a part in a table read of his screenplay. She tells Taylor the truck is her boyfriend's. They stay out late and party, and on the way home Ingrid damages the truck while driving under the influence. She returns it the following morning to a furious Dan, who was forced to cancel his table read.
Ingrid's friendship with Taylor grows as they begin to regularly hang out at galleries, restaurants and shops. After a while, Ingrid arrives at Taylor and Ezra's house and meets Taylor's obnoxious brother Nicky, a recovering drug addict who is instantly rude to Ingrid. Taylor dismisses her previous plans with Ingrid to attend a party with Nicky, furthering Ingrid's disdain for him. Taylor and Nicky tease Ingrid about her "imaginary" boyfriend Dan, whom they've never met. They invite Ingrid to a party that weekend at fashion blogger Harley Chung's house and tell her to bring Dan.
Ingrid apologizes to Dan for damaging his truck, promising to reimburse him and take him out to dinner. Later that night, after bonding over their past losses, the two have sex and begin a relationship. Ingrid invites Dan to Harley's party and asks him to tell everyone he's her boyfriend. Once there, Ingrid becomes envious of Taylor and Harley's friendship. After a conversation with Ezra, Ingrid begins to realize that several aspects of Taylor's persona are fabricated. After noticing Ingrid enter Taylor's birthday as her phone password, Nicky steals the phone and finds several incriminating photographs that reveal her obsession with Taylor, and blackmails her for money. In retaliation, Ingrid pays a stranger to punch her in the face and tells Dan that Nicky did it. She begs him not to call the police for fear of what Nicky might do, and instead convinces him to kidnap and terrorize Nicky to keep him quiet. Nicky escapes his bindings and attacks Dan, leading Ingrid to stun Nicky with a crowbar. Ingrid rushes Dan to the hospital and leaves Nicky unconscious in the desert. Later on, Ingrid sees on Instagram that Taylor and Ezra went to Joshua Tree. Ingrid decides to drive and surprise them but no one is home. Ingrid tries to call Taylor, but Ezra answers and tells Ingrid that Nicky has told them what happened, that Taylor does not want to hear from Ingrid again, and that she would have been arrested if Nicky had not been trying to hide his own crimes.
Desperate, Ingrid moves into the small house next door to Taylor, using the remaining chunk of her inheritance. Unable to pay the bills, she eventually loses power at the house. After noticing a Halloween party at Taylor's house, she dons a bed sheet and wig and crashes the party to charge her phone. When discovered, Ingrid berates Nicky, Ezra, and Taylor. Taylor responds that because of her façade, the two were never truly friends, and suggests Ingrid needs professional help. Bereft, Ingrid retreats to her home surrounded by lit candles and records a video for her Instagram page, confessing her past deception before attempting suicide by overdosing on pills.
Ingrid survives after Dan sees the video and calls emergency services. She wakes in the hospital to find Dan waiting for her, and they rekindle their relationship. He gladly informs Ingrid that her video has gone viral, and thousands of strangers have responded to her hashtag #iamingrid to show support.

The door is suddenly opened, followed by a pale hand snatching Kat away.
After getting no information on Castiel or Amara, Sam and Dean decide to take up the case of a little girl who went into coma and the only sign of any trauma is a handprint on her ankle.
On reaching Grand Rapids, Michigan, Sam and Dean realize that Rufus Turner and Bobby Singer worked the same case a couple of years ago and consult Bobby's journal but it doesn't contain any information about what they were hunting.
In the past, Rufus and Bobby argue over the case. Bobby believes it's a simple ghost case while Rufus now thinks it's a baku. They bet a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Whisky on it, then head off to dig up some bones. On two separate nights, two pairs of hunters are digging up the same graves. Sam and Dean open the first casket and find that the bones have already been burned. They dig up the second grave and find that the bones have been burned as well. They come to the conclusion that they're not hunting a ghost after all.
After the mother is also attacked and goes into a coma, the brothers, after consulting the lore find that they are dealing with a soul eater. Bobby and Rufus figure it out too. While Bobby and Rufus can't find a way to kill the creature, Bobby had previously worked a case in Tennessee where he fought what he now realizes is a soul eater and he was able to trap it. In the present, the Winchesters realize that Naoki broke Bobby and Rufus' sigil while redecorating and accidentally released the soul eater. In the Men of Letters archives, Sam finds a second sigil that can kill the soul eater, but one of them must enter the soul eater's nest to paint the sigil there at the same time it is painted in the house.
In the past, Bobby and Rufus begin painting the sigil, only for Bobby to come under attack and get dragged to the nest where he has visions of the Winchesters dead and meets the young boy taken by the soul eater at the beginning of his case. He is soon possessed by the soul eater and used to attack Rufus. Rufus manages to subdue the possessed Bobby and finish the sigil, trapping the soul eater and sealing its nest.
In the present, as Sam works on his own sigil, Dean purposefully goads the soul eater into dragging him into its nest where he meets Kat. Dean completes his sigil, but is possessed by the soul eater to attack Sam. The soul eater shows knowledge of the Darkness and warns Sam that Dean is driven to go to the Darkness. Sam subdues the possessed Dean and completes his sigil, killing the soul eater. Inside of the nest, the souls of all of its victims are released to their final rest or their bodies if they are still alive. Watching the souls disappear, Dean and Bobby briefly encounter each other before being returned to their own bodies in their respective time periods.
In the past, Bobby puts up wallpaper to cover the trap sigil while Rufus check on the family to discover that they are now okay. Bobby is left worried by the implications of his encounter with Dean and how everything seems to have ended too neatly. In his car, Bobby finds a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue from Rufus (later discovered by Sam and Jody Mills in season 7's ''Time after Time'') and begins to write about the case in his journal before being interrupted by a call from Dean. At Dean's request, Bobby heads off to check on a lead on Lilith.
In the present, the Winchesters find that Naoki and Kat are awake as well while Dean speculates on whether or not he actually saw Bobby in the nest, a place that exists outside of time and space, making it theoretically possible. Departing, Sam and Dean decide to revisit Bobby's old soul eater case in Tennessee and finish it for him by killing the soul eater that he had trapped there.
The film tells the story of a bright and tragic fate of the Russian poet Elizaveta Yurevna Kuzmina-Karavayeva, in 1920 she emigrated to France and became a nun under the name of Mary. The shelter-based support it found many disadvantaged Soviet emigres. During the Second World War, Maria has become one of the heroines of the French Resistance.
The book is ‘written from the alternating perspective of Robert Wardner, a recovering post-punk rockstar recalling the peak of his manic fame in the grimy early 80s, and an investigative journalist named Sam, tracked down by a publisher to capitalise upon the rock star’s rumoured re-emergence by writing a book telling the story of his disappearance in-between’. Damon Fairclough, for ''Louder Than War'', commented that ‘the plot throws Forbes into a mission to track down one of the most enigmatic frontmen of the eighties…who apparently led his group from Top of the Pops to global success before vanishing from the face of the earth.’
A young street magician named Bo Wolfe (Jacob Latimore) is left to care for his little sister Tina after their parents' death and turns to illegal activities to keep a roof over their heads.
By day, Bo performs magic tricks all over Los Angeles, with his specialty as being able to control anything metal, even float it in the air. He does this by building an electromagnet into his arm, with the negative electrode of the battery running to his thumb and the positive electrode running to his fingers. He first developed the electromagnet in high school for a science project, which earned him an engineering scholarship but he had to turn it down in order to take care of Tina after his mother died.
By night, he sells drugs to pay the bills, seeing it as steady work with his supplier Angelo usually being a nice guy. However, things get ugly when a new kingpin comes in and starts selling drugs cheaper on their turf. Angelo has Bo find this kingpin, so Bo uses his pickpocketing skills as a magician when he goes to a club, managed by Bo's friend Luna, where the new kingpin has his dealers selling.
Bo asks one of the dealers for drugs and pickpockets his phone to look up his call history, and finds out that his supplier's name is Maurice. Angelo finds where Maurice lives, invades his house with Bo and forces Bo to chop off his hand.
Bo then gets in too deep when he tries to skim $15,000 off the money he makes from drug dealing so he and Tina can leave town. When Angelo finds out, he threatens to kill Bo unless he can come up with $45,000 in one week. Bo finds the money, but has to steal the last $9,000 from Luna by watching her unlock the safe when she invites him up to the main office; he pickpockets the office keys as they leave. He waits to have one last drink with Luna, feeling guilty for having stolen from her, yet relieved he may make it out of his predicament alive.
However, Maurice's gang is at the club at the same time. When they spot him, they knock him out, handcuff him and put him in the trunk of a car. Bo manages to escape by using his electromagnet to lift the latches on the handcuffs and trunk, but Maurice stole all his money.
When Tina is kidnapped by Angelo as ransom, he is forced to get back in touch with his old high school science teacher to get more power to his electromagnet. The teacher has an idea to add a feedback oscillator, but warns that it may cause the wires in his arm to overheat.
Bo then goes to Angelo's house with the supplemented electromagnet to find out where Tina is, where he rips out one of his ex-co-worker's gold teeth, hits the other with his own aluminum bat and then sends it flying into the wall. When Angelo goes to shoot him, he stops the bullets and causes the lights to flicker. He then drops the bullets to the floor, picks one up and slowly burrows it into Angelo's forehead to force him to divulge Tina's whereabouts. After Angelo tells Bo that she is with his aunt, he releases the bullet from Angelo and gives him $15,000 before leaving.
Bo goes to pick her up with his arm burnt and they start a new life with Bo's girlfriend Holly in San Diego. As they are getting accustomed to their life, Bo still does street magic as his arm has now healed and Holly walks in on him in the bathroom late at night developing a new trick after waking up to all the lights in the house flickering.
'''Opening quote:''' "O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your branches!"
During Christmas time, two teenagers named Derrick Bryce (Shane Coffey) and Quinn Baxter (Alex Mentzel) steal presents from a car. Suddenly, a person dressed as Santa calls them "naughty", revealing itself to be a horned creature and attacks Derrick while taking Quinn.
In Austria, Tavitian (Bernhard Forcher) kills Verrat members that seem to follow him. He arrives at a Resistance to meet with Renard (Sasha Roiz), Meisner (Damien Puckler), and Sebastien (Christian Lagadec). However, the members of the Resistance have doubts about Renard for his blood although he manages to convince them by telling them he has a Grimm.
Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Wu (Reggie Lee) inspect the body of Derrick but Wu freaks when he finds that he is not dead and the attacker left a piece of coal. Meanwhile, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) calls Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) to help in redecorating the house, as a surprise for Rosalee (Bree Turner), as they are having their first Christmas together. During a visit to Derrick in the hospital, he gets freaked after he sees a Santa in the hallway.
Another teen steals a woman's presents and while checking on them, is attacked and subdued by the same horned Santa. A man watches the event but the creature does not attack him and again leaves a piece of coal. In Vienna, Renard and Meisner sneak in Adalind's hotel room and find her substance in the jar and leave a rose and a note for her, warning her to meet with him in a cafe and to watch out from the cameras. Monroe shows Rosalee the decorations in their house but Rosalee reveals that she does not like Christmas very much after her uncle and aunt died on a car accident on Christmas's Eve, hurting Monroe. The next morning, she wakes up to find that Monroe took away all the decorations.
While looking for the Santa responsible, Nick and Hank interrogate a Santa in the mall who turns out to be a Schakal. He panics when he finds that Nick is a Grimm and runs. Nick goes after him and tackles him while people film the event, reaching news reports. Nick and Hank asks Monroe about it and Monroe quickly deduces that the creature is Krampus. Krampus is a creature that takes the "naughty" people and subdues them to take them to a forest and then hangs them from the tallest tree as punishment for their actions. He also adds that when the Winter Solstice arrives, he will devour those children. To make matters worse, they're exactly on the Winter Solstice.
While discussing where is the tree, Bud (Danny Bruno), while denying Krampus' existence, deduces that the tree may be in Council Crest Park. They go to the forest and find the people in the tree but Krampus (Derek Mears) arrives and attacks Nick. Although he is stronger than Nick, Nick manages to knock him out. They debate what to do with him as the police won't have evidence linking him to the kidnappings and he could disappear for another year. To their surprise, they find that Krampus woges into a human form (Darius Pierce).
In the precinct, the human Krampus explains that he has his memory erased every Christmas and the day after the Winter Solstice, he wakes up with a Santa suit. To Nick's surprise, the human Krampus does not have knowledge of the Wesen world. Finding no other choice, Nick decides to inform the Wesen Council to handle the situation. Monroe returns to his house to find Rosalee asleep in the couch and finding beer and cigars instead of cookies and milk (this was the tradition her aunt made every Christmas), causing him to smile as he finds that she has finally celebrated Christmas.
William Foster and Ed Whittle are biomedical research scientists working for Bionyne Corporation in Puerto Rico, attempting to transfer the mind of a dead soldier into an android with superhuman strength, codenamed Subject 345. Foster specializes in synthetic biology and mapping of the mind's neural pathways, while Whittle's specialty is reproductive human cloning. Foster successfully captures the soldier's neural map and transfers it into the android's synthetic brain, but the experiment fails when the soldier recoils in horror at the android body and destroys it, killing himself again. Foster's boss Jones warns him that if he cannot get Subject 345 to work, the company's shareholders will shut the project down.
Foster takes his wife Mona and three children Sophie, Matt, and Zoe, on a boating trip, but on the way all except William are killed in a car crash. Determined to resurrect his family, he coaxes Ed to bring him the Bionyne equipment necessary to extract his family's neural maps and to clone replacement bodies for them. He successfully extracts their neural maps and tells Whittle to dispose of the bodies, but the first major obstacle to his plan presents itself: only three cloning pods are available, forcing him to choose one to sacrifice. He chooses Zoe, the youngest, and erases her memory from the neural maps of the other three. Whittle starts the seventeen-day cycle required to create mature replacement clones for Foster's family, and tells him he has only that long to solve the problem of integrating the neural maps into the cloned bodies, or else they will start to deteriorate by aging at an abnormally fast rate. Integrating the mind into a biological clone was phase two of the research project, to be solved after android transfer. Foster is forced to keep this secret, since he and Whittle have stolen millions of dollars of Bionyne equipment and are breaking bioethics. He spends the seventeen days removing evidence of Zoe's existence from his home, and creating cover stories of illness to explain his family's absence from work, school, and social media contact.
When Foster notices his wife's central nervous system reacting to his touch, he realizes that Subject 345 failed because the mind expects connection to a biological body with heartbeat and respiration, rather than a synthetic one. He knows now that transfer into the clones will not be a problem, and the failure of android transfer can be solved by programming a simulated mind-body interface to make the android body appear biological. He successfully transfers the minds of his loved ones into the cloned bodies, then goes back to work creating a synthetic mind-body interface. When the next dead body he receives has suffered too much brain damage to be viable, Foster resorts to recording his own mind for the android transfer. Meanwhile, Sophie has a nightmare of her mother's death, and Mona catches Foster erasing her memory of the event. He confesses that they died in a car crash and that he resurrected them. The family soon discovers evidence of Zoe's existence that he missed, and he admits that he couldn't save Zoe and erased their memories of her.
Jones confronts Foster and reveals that he is aware of what Foster and Whittle have done. He tells him the research is not actually intended for medical purposes, but is being financed by the U.S. government to provide a military weapon, and that Foster's family are loose ends to be eliminated. Foster destroys the mind-body interface, incapacitates Jones, and flees, attempting to escape by boat. Jones' henchmen capture Foster's family. He pursues them to Bionyne, where it is clear that Whittle has sold them out. Jones kills Whittle and forces Foster to finish Subject 345. Foster uploads his own mind into Subject 345, who kills the henchmen and mortally wounds Jones. The two Fosters make a deal with Jones: he can live in a cloned body and become rich by working with Foster-345, selling clone transfers to wealthy people looking for a second life. Meanwhile, Foster is able to retire in peace with his family, including the newly cloned Zoe.
At the beginning of the film, gangster Bruno Stiegler alias Dandy returns to West Berlin from the United States as a boxing promoter. The boxing business serves him more as a camouflage, however, because soon it turns out that he and his gang want to realize various planned raids. The now retired Judge Zänker has tried in vain to put Dandy behind bars by legal means during his active service. Now he turns the tables with his friends and sister Elisabeth. His old friends and colleagues meet as a men's choir disguised in his home and prove to be a pensioner's gang, taking on Dandy's gang. He succeeds in this by using the ex-con Pietsch as a snitch in Dandy's gang.
Dandy wants to steal the revenue from a Hertha BSC football match from the Olympic Stadium, but Zänker and his gang are faster in doing so. The same is achieved by them with Dandy's attempt to rob dubious businessman Kunkelmann's cash cabinet and clear up the Haase jewellery store during a parade. To make matters more complicated, Zänker's son-in-law Walter, who lives with his daughter Monika in the house near Zänker, works as a criminal inspector with the police and is charged with clearing up these crimes. In fact, Walter's supervisor commissioner, Berg, eventually appears in person at his old friend's house to arrest him. In a conversation under four eyes, Zänker initiates the Commissioner in his motive and method and gains his understanding. So an arrest warrant goes out for Dandy, and Zänker manages, with the help of Pietsch, to cheer all the stolen items to Dandy. Immediately before Dandy's departure, all the predatory material is found in his suitcase. This justifies the appearances for the police, that Dandy actually committed the crimes, and that Dandy is being taken away. In fact, after his retirement, Zänker has finally managed what he has tried to do legally in his profession for a long time in vain.

Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) call Crowley and demand he stop and he offers them a deal, using the little time Jody has left to force the issue. The deal is that they stop the undertaking the trials to close the Gates of Hell and give him the demon tablet, and he will stop killing Jody and everyone else they've ever saved. Dean agrees on the condition they trade the angel tablet for the demon tablet and Crowley agrees if they say "I surrender."
In order to make the deal happen, Kevin Tran (Osric Chau) digs up the first half of the tablet where he hid it, ironically under a sign depicting the Devil. Kevin puts the tablet halves back together and gives it to Sam and Dean. In return they give him the key to the Bunker, telling him to wait there. At the ruins of Singer Salvage Yard, Sam shows Crowley the demon tablet to prove he has it while Crowley shows them the angel tablet.

As he does, he gets close to Crowley and snaps the handcuffs on him that they found in the Bunker - ones covered in spell work that trap Crowley.
An angel named Nathaniel approaches Naomi (Amanda Tapping) with the news that one of their freelance operatives has spotted Castiel in Houston, Texas. To Naomi's shock, Nathaniel reveals that Metatron (Curtis Armstrong) has been spotted with him.

He and Metatron start watching Dwight, but Naomi arrives. She orders an angel to kill Castiel, but after the bartender shoots the angel and Metatron tells Castiel to stand down, she just leaves with her henchmen and Metatron.
In her office in Heaven, Naomi straps Metatron to a chair. Despite having never met in person, Metatron recognizes her as the angel that was supposed to "debrief" him after God left Heaven. Naomi tells him that the archangels wanted to know the secrets in his mind and she now wants to know why he came out of hiding and what his plans are. Naomi tortures Metatron and is shocked by what she finds, asking him why he is going with the plan that he is. Metatron tells her that he was elevated to God's Scribe and it was incredible, but he knew once God left the archangels would try to get God's secrets from him. He was forced to flee. Now, Metatron says, he wants revenge.
Sam and Dean take Crowley to a small church to undergo the third trial - to cure him of being a demon. They secure Crowley in the middle of a devil's trap. Sam needs to confess his sins in order to purify his blood to use on Crowley. Dean lists a number of things Sam has done working with Ruby, killing Lilith, letting Lucifer out, losing his soul, and not looking for Dean when he went to Purgatory.
Castiel arrives, telling Dean he needs his help in undertaking the trials. Dean is reluctant to go, but Sam insists he will be fine. At the Bunker they give the Angel Tablet to Kevin, and ask that he translate it, to find out what the remaining trials may be.
Cas and Dean return to watch Dwight Charles at his bar. They see a delivery woman Gail arrive at the bar, they think she will be the one that Dwight falls in love with. However she is the Cupid, and she causes Dwight and his regular customer Rod to fall in love. Outside the bar, Dean and Castiel tell the Cupid they need her bow, which appears as a mark on her hand. She tells them how chaotic Heaven is, and willingly helps them.
Meanwhile, Sam has continued injecting Crowley with his blood. At one point Crowley bites Sam, and when he leaves to get a bandage, Crowley creates a makeshift goblet of blood with his hand and uses the blood to send a call for help. Abaddon (Alaina Huffman) arrives, and throws Sam through a window, but she tells Crowley she is not there to help him, but to take over ruling Hell. But Sam douses her meatsuit with holy oil, setting her on fire, and she vacates the body and leaves. Crowley, who is obviously regaining his humanity, and tries to bond with Sam, tearfully declaring that he deserves to loved.
Naomi appears on Earth near where Castiel and Dean are talking on the phone to Kevin who has been examining the angel tablet, cannot find any mention of the trials Castiel has undertaken. Castiel angrily confronts her with his angel blade, but Naomi insists that she is just there to talk, not fight and Dean gets Castiel to hear her out. Naomi reveals what she has learned from Metatron: as revenge for his expulsion from Heaven, he is using Castiel to expel all angels permanently, not close the gates of Heaven. Castiel doesn't believe her, but Naomi insists that its true. She expresses regret for all of her actions, crying and tells Castiel and Dean that angels were meant to protect humanity and somewhere along the line they lost sight of that. Naomi, reminding Dean that she told him he could trust her, tells him that while she wants him to close the gates of Hell, she has learned that doing so will kill Sam, that God intended for the person closing the gates to have to make the ultimate sacrifice. Naomi tells Castiel that if he wishes to return to Heaven she is now willing to hear him out and disappears. Castiel doesn't believe her claims and Kevin Tran is unable to back them up with the angel tablet, but Dean does and has Castiel take him to Sam.
When Castiel finds Metatron, he extracts Castiel's grace from him, telling him it is the final part of a spell that will achieve what Naomi described. He sends Castiel, now a human, back to Earth and completes the spell.
Dean arrives just as Sam is about to complete the ritual, and begs him to stop warning it will kill him. Sam is nonplussed and tells Dean the sin he confessed earlier, was of all the times he had let Dean down. He fears if he does it again Dean will turn to someone else for support. Dean is passionate in disavowing this, "Don't you dare think that there is anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you!" he says. Sam says he feels consumed by the trial, and Dean holds him, telling him to let it go. The feeling seems to abate, but suddenly Sam is struck by pain.
Dean carries him outside, and they collapse on the ground near the Impala. Kevin is in the bunker when alarms begin to detect paranormal activities across the world at the same time. Then, Sam, Dean, Castiel and Crowley look to the sky and see thousands of angels falling to Earth.

To make things worse, Tyler is blamed and arrested for Carter's murder.
With Nate about to accept an award at a campus celebration, Jules and Ophelia are reached out to by Nate's friend Miles, who disowned Nate and revealed he raped one other girl in the past who was silenced. Miles helps acquire Nate's confession while the latter was on a drug fueled rant about rape victims deserving what they get. Jules and Ophelia play the recording at the ceremony, ruining Nate's reputation.

Cook plots escape, while keeping the scientist's true identity from both the Germans and his fellow prisoners.
Cook comes up with an escape plan to fly out of the castle all the way to nearby Switzerland. A glider is built in secret in an attic, which will be able to take two men out. With the Germans closing in, Cook has to reveal Brevik's true identity and importance to the other prisoners in order that Brevik be one of the escapees.

The group reveal themselves to be Americans who were on spring break when the outbreak hit, and explain that they are impressed by Chris' skill in dispatching the undead, and ask if Travis and Chris want to join their group. Chris takes a liking to them, but Travis does not trust them. He does accept their offer of driving to a nearby town, though he plans to leave with Chris upon arriving there. They spend the night at the camp, and depart in the group's truck the following morning. While on the road, they stop at a farm to scavenge supplies, but are confronted by the farmer who lives there. The farmer shoots one of the Americans in the leg, prompting Chris to shoot and kill the farmer, to Travis' horror.
After being treated for his injuries and malnourishment, Nick spends several days recovering in Luciana's community, La Colonia, which he observes only has one entrance that requires anybody to pass through a horde of undead. One afternoon, he is shocked to see one man voluntarily enter the horde and be devoured, while the rest of the community chants ceremoniously. Luciana explains that those who are infected or terminally ill sacrifice themselves to help build "the wall"; the horde of undead which serves as a defensive barrier for the community. The only way to enter or exit is to cover oneself in the blood of the undead and quietly pass through, preventing outside threats from entering undetected. A few days later, Luciana recruits Nick to accompany her on a supply run to a nearby supermarket, which is controlled by an armed gang known as Los Hermanos. Luciana offers the group some oxycodone, granting them entry into the supermarket where they are permitted to take one shopping cart's worth of supplies. While leaving, however, Nick is caught trying to shoplift an ice cream sandwich, but he manages to bargain for his life - and increased supplies for the community - by threatening to cut off the supply of oxycodone that La Colonia has been providing. The group agrees to increase the amount of supplies that La Colonia traders may take, and lets Nick go unharmed. Later on, Luciana scolds Nick for his recklessness, as she believes that Los Harmanos will now have greater interested in determining the location of La Colonia. Nick is brought before the community's leader, a former pharmacist named Alejandro, who explains to Nick that he keeps the community together by preaching that the undead plague is merely a test from God, and that those that survive will inherit the Earth.
Meanwhile, Madison, Strand, Alicia, and Ofelia flee the burning wreckage of Celia's compound, intending to get back to the ''Abigail''. However, they find out that the vessel has been stolen, leaving them without any shelter. They are forced to scavenge a nearby hotel for supplies; they discover that the hotel has running hot water and several barricades, indicating that it was recently being inhabited. Alicia and Ofelia search the rooms, where Ofelia reveals to Alicia that she doesn't believe the group will survive for much longer. The two take a break from scavenging and decide to clean up. After Alicia returns from taking a shower, she finds that Ofelia has gone missing. Meanwhile, Madison and Strand get drunk in the hotel's bar as they express their various frustrations with life. While intoxicated, Madison begins throwing glasses against the wall and Strand begins slamming the keys on a piano; the noise attracts the attention of nearby undead, which soon surround the hotel, trapping all four inside.
After refusing to travel south with his family, Nick departs the destroyed compound on his own, heading towards Tijuana, which one of Celia's former community members said was home to a community of people who had beliefs similar to those of Celia. After walking all day, he seeks shelter in an abandoned building at sunset, but he is attacked by another survivor and forced to leave behind his supplies. He tries to scavenge abandoned cars for supplies, but is nearly killed by a gang of armed bandits who patrol the highways. He is chased into the wilderness, where he evades the bandits but finds himself lost and without any supplies. After falling asleep by an abandoned bus, he is attacked by a pair of feral dogs and bitten in the leg. He climbs atop the bus to escape the dogs, who are later devoured by a small group of the undead. The group of undead is later drawn away by the sounds of car horns and gunfire, giving Nick an opportunity to escape. He kills one of the undead and covers himself in its blood, allowing him to blend in with the rest of the horde as it travels along the highway in the direction of Tijuana. Soon, however, the group of bandits arrives again and begins to kill the undead, but they get distracted when they recognize Nick in the horde and are soon overwhelmed. Two of them are devoured, while the third flees.
Nick separates from the horde and continues down the highway alone, but soon passes out due to his injuries, dehydration, and malnourishment. A group of survivors observe Nick from a distance, but their leader, Luciana, opts not to help him. While unconscious, Nick has several dreams shown as flashbacks, beginning with his time in rehab with his girlfriend, Gloria. During an emotional exercise, he expresses his frustration at his father's lack of attention to him, bringing him to tears. He is later visited by Madison, who tells him that his father was killed in a car accident. He then has another flashback to the very beginning of the apocalypse, when he woke up in the heroin den to find Gloria's reanimated corpse eating another drug addict. A rainstorm wakes him from his unconsciousness, allowing him to clean his wounds and rehydrate; he manages to continue on his way to Tijuana. Upon arriving near the city, he encounters Luciana's group, who offer to bring him to their community to be treated.
Upon discovering that Strand has shot Thomas, preventing his reanimation, an infuriated Celia demands that he and the rest of his group leave by the end of the day. After having been caught wielding a knife in Alicia and Madison's room, Chris runs off. Madison relays the events to Travis, who remains doubtful that Chris would do such a thing, and he soon begins searching for him.
Meanwhile, Daniel begins to have nightmares and hallucinations of his deceased wife, Griselda, leaving him suspicious of all the members of Celia’s community. While walking with Ofelia that afternoon, he suddenly attacks one of Celia's men, prompting some of her other men to apprehend him and tie him up in the cellar, where his hallucinations worsen. Meanwhile, Nick begins to fully commit to Celia's ideology, even bringing home the reanimated corpse of her son Luis to her from the ''Abigail''; after having done this for her, Celia says she will allow his family to stay, but not Strand, who she still wants to leave by sunset. Madison talks to Nick about his fascination with the dead and is frustrated by his growing belief for Celia's ideology.
Outside the compound, Travis discovers Chris inside the house of another survivor, where he has taken a young boy hostage and threatens to shoot the boy if Travis doesn’t leave. Travis is able to disarm Chris and chases him outside of the house, before finally catching him in the road and convincing him not to run off. Chris explains that he is tired of being treated as a threat by the rest of the group, and Travis begins to suspect that it may be better not to bring him back to the others. With Travis having been gone for several hours now, Nick leaves the compound to search for him and Chris; he soon finds them, but Travis tells him that he and Chris will not be going back, as he needs to help Chris and doesn't want to endanger the others. He asks Nick to tell the others that he simply never found them, which Nick reluctantly agrees to do.
Back at the compound, Madison confronts Celia about her influence on Nick and asks her to stop, but Celia refuses. Desperate to help Nick, Madison decides she must kill Celia. She pretends to want to learn more about Celia's ideology and asks to see the undead in the cellar; Celia brings her there and opens the cage door, but Madison suddenly locks her inside the cage, before quickly leaving the cellar. Meanwhile, Daniel is able to break free of his restraints; he goes to the cellar where the dead are held, and douses the room in gasoline before lighting it on fire. He watches as Celia emerges from the horde of the undead as the building burns and collapses around them; he does not escape and is presumably killed. Strand, Ofelia, Alicia, and Madison prepare to escape the burning compound in a truck, but stop when they see Nick approaching; he tells them that he couldn't find Travis or Chris. He also says that he will not be going with them, as he believes Celia was right about the group destroying everything in their path, and he no longer wants to be a part of it. Despite Madison's protests, Strand drives the truck away from the burning compound, as Nick walks off in a different direction, leaving them.
Strand arranges for payment to the Mexican military for safe passage, but a gunfight ensues leaving two officers and Luis, Strand's contact, dead. The group is able to bypass the remaining military and approach land. They depart from the ''Abigail'' and continue on to their destination, a compound formerly owned by the Abigail family and now housing a group led by Luis' mother, Celia. While en route, the group is attacked by a group of the undead and Madison is pinned to the ground; Chris stands by watching but doesn't make any attempt to help, which Alicia notices before killing Madison's attacker. The group continues onward until arriving at the compound where they are greeted by Celia, who tells them they are welcome inside but must leave their weapons outside. Inside, Strand meets with Thomas, who he discovers has been bitten and is close to death; the two of them spend the rest of the evening together as Strand prepares for Thomas to die. That evening, Alicia tells Chris that she saw his inaction during Madison's attack, but he denies the events and threatens her if she tells anybody else. Nick and Celia begin to form a bond and she explains to him her view of the undead, which she believes is not true death but rather a "new beginning", which Nick begins to agree with. After a lengthy discussion, Strand decides to commit suicide so that he may die alongside Thomas; Celia prepares several communion wafers laced with poison for them both to eat, that way they can reanimate after their death.
At night, Daniel secretly begins exploring the compound and discovers a large horde of undead locked in a cage inside of a cellar, which he soon deduces consists of the family members of all the compound's residents. He confronts Celia about this, and she confirms his suspicions, but shows no remorse. Meanwhile, Alicia tells Madison about her confrontation with Chris, and Madison describes the situation to Travis, saying that she believes Chris isn't well. The two of them argue, with Travis retorting that Madison is simply refusing to help Chris, despite Travis always offering to help Nick during his addiction. Fearing for her safety, Madison decides to sleep with Alicia that night to provide comfort, but in the middle of the night, they are woken by a gunshot to find Chris standing over them, holding a knife; he quickly flees the room. The gunshot is revealed to be from Strand having shot Thomas in the head, with neither of them having eaten the communion wafers.
A series of flashbacks describes the congregation of a nearby church planning to take arms against Celia's cult-like community. Thomas drives to the church in an attempt to dissuade them, knowing that they would be unsuccessful; however he arrives too late and discovers all the congregation members collapse and die, and it is revealed that Celia secretly poisoned their communion wafers, killing them.
The group tends to the wounds of Reed, who they have taken hostage, and discover that he is the brother of Connor, the leader of the group of pirates. Daniel realizes that this provides them with leverage, and they plan to use Reed as a bargaining chip to trade for Travis and Alicia, who Connor has taken to his base. At their base, Alicia is trained in the operations of the pirate gang, including how they target and coerce vessels into revealing their location. She attempts to befriend Jack to gain his trust, and tries to determine if her family is alive, though Jack admits he is not sure. When they discover that the ''Abigail'' is arriving at the base ahead of schedule, she assumes that the pirates had executed her family instead of bringing them to shore as promised, and she manages to convince Jack to help her escape. The two of them plan to use one of the pirate group's boats to flee and live together. Meanwhile, Travis is held captive in a cell, where he is taunted by Alex, who reveals that she was forced to put down her fellow survivor, Jake, after Travis' group left them adrift, and she joined Connor's group and helped them locate the ''Abigail''.
Meanwhile, aboard the ''Abigail'', Chris is left to watch Reed, who taunts and threatens him. After some time, Chris uses Reed's own gun to shoot him in the face, killing him; he tells Madison that Reed was about to turn into an undead, but she remains skeptical and worries that he is becoming unhinged. Suddenly, however, Reed reanimates as an undead, indicating that Chris failed to destroy his brain. Instead of putting him down, Daniel realizes that they can use the reanimated Reed to trade for Alicia and Travis by covering the corpse's head with a bag and tricking Connor into thinking that Reed is alive and unharmed. Connor and his men wait on the dock with Travis, preparing for the trade, as Madison heads to shore with the reanimated Reed. She arrives and is able to trade for Travis' release; when she turns over the reanimated Reed, he attacks and kills Connor and several of his men. Meanwhile, Jack discovers that Alicia is missing from her post, and he discovers her on the roof of the building; she says that she no longer wants to leave with him and instead wants to return to her family, and she jumps off the roof and into the water below, where she reunites with Travis and Madison, and the three of them head back to the yacht.
Late at night, Nick jumps overboard and swims ashore, where he evades numerous undead and the military in order to meet with Strand's contact, Luis, who will help the group enter Mexico. The two of them travel to a beach where they board a zodiac and depart to meet with the ''Abigail''. The next morning, aboard the ''Abigail'', a family in distress arrives on a small life raft, which the group allows to board. Upon boarding, the newcomers is discovered to be the group of Jack, the boy that Alicia had spoken to on the radio. The newcomers suddenly attack the ''Abigail'' group and seize control of the vessel; Strand manages to escape using a life raft, but the raft is damaged during his escape and begins to slowly sink. One of the newcomers, Reed, holds Travis at gunpoint and demands that he hot-wires the ''Abigail'', since Strand had the only keys, while the rest of the group remains tied up as they await the arrival of the group's leader, Connor.
As they wait, Jack apologizes to Alicia for having misled her, and offers to bring her back to his group's base, assuring that her family will remain unharmed and she will be able to live comfortably, though she is reluctant to accept the offer. When Connor arrives, he instructs the rest of his group to bring the ''Abigail'' back to their base, where he will meet them; he forces Alicia and Travis to travel with him, though Jack assures Alicia that his group will drop off her family ashore unharmed. Connor and Jack depart with the two hostages, while Reed and two other members prepare to bring the ''Abigail'' to the base to meet with them. Shortly afterward, Nick and Luis arrive aboard the zodiac. They are able to incapacitate the pirates, killing two of them and gravely injuring Reed, who they take as a hostage. They free the rest of their group, and Madison is able to rescue Strand using the ''Abigail'''s launch boat; she takes him back to the ''Abigail'' and treats his injuries.
Through a series of flashbacks, more information is revealed about Strand's backstory. Prior to the apocalypse, he was a real estate investor who lost much of his money during Hurricane Katrina. While staying at a hotel, he met another investor, Thomas, and the two of them began a relationship together. It was through Thomas that he met Luis, who became a trusted friend as well. Strand and Thomas lived in a house in Baja, and Strand had traveled to Los Angeles for business when the outbreak began and he was apprehended by National Guard troops; his subsequent actions have all been centered around his plans to reunite with Thomas in Baja.

Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) receives a call from a friend, Alicia (Alicia Lagano), who states that her husband has been abusing her. She tells her to come to Portland to discuss her marriage. While staying in the house, Nick sees that she is a Fuchsbau. In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets with Renard (Sasha Roiz), where he demands to know who is the father. She does not tell him but he warns her that her people are only interested in the baby and not to trust anyone.
Back in Portland, a healer named Boris Myshkin (Mark Ivanir) heals a woman from a pain she has been suffering. He then attends a Russian party where everyone is celebrating his actions for saving lives. He is attacked by a man named Alex Renko (Vladimir Tevlovski) and he woges into a transparent Wesen with green veins and uses them to poison Renko. Renko manages to escape but upon arriving at his hotel room, he begins to experience pain for the cumulative poison inside his body. Meanwhile, Hank (Russell Hornsby) has his final therapy with his physiotherapist, Zuri Ellis (Sharon Leal). He asks her on a date but she declines, wanting to keep things "professional".
Renard returns to Portland and tells Nick that they may be a threat for the Verrat. Nick, Hank and Wu (Reggie Lee) are sent to investigate a body found in the freezer of a restaurant. The body is identified as Ivan Markov, a waiter, and they find the scene of the fight between Boris and Renko.

They watch as Boris heals a boy and Nick sees his transparent hand and bones in the process. Using his Russian lessons, Renard tells Boris and his wife, Olga (Aleksandra Kaniak) that they can be trusted and offers to put a patrol on their house. Nick then tells them about what he saw and Renard deduces that Boris is a Koschie and decides to call people in Moscow that are expert on it.
Along with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Nick and Hank look in the trailer and find that Joseph Stalin used Wesen as bodyguards and Grigori Rasputin was a Koschie too.

They suggest that he leave the country as someone else will be sent to kill him and he agrees. At his home, he begins to make out with his maid, Larissa (Angela Gots) while drinking a vodka. She then pushes him when she finds that he didn't die. She has poisoned him as he killed her father and brother.

The episode begins on Valentine's Day, Wednesday, February 14, 1962, picking up 15 months after the season 1 finale.
Don visits the doctor for a checkup and learns that his blood pressure is high and that due to his age (36), he needs to slow down on his two-pack, five-drink per day diet. Peggy is back at work, after taking a break for three months and is much thinner. Others in the office are curious about her absence and weight loss. Roger has recovered from his heart attack and is back at the Sterling Cooper as well. Betty has begun taking horseback riding lessons. A new copy machine is delivered to the office, and Joan struggles to decide where to put it.
While waiting for Don, who is late for the noon meeting, Peggy berates and humiliates Don's new secretary, Lois. When Don finally arrives, they discuss pitching to Mohawk Airlines- following Duck Phillips' plan for Sterling Cooper to acquire an airline business. Don dislikes Paul's humorous copy ideas, and instead tells the staff to focus on the feeling of leaving the city, of adventure, of escape, and of going somewhere you have never been.
On Valentine's Night, Don takes Betty to the Savoy Hotel. While there, they run into Juanita, an old roommate of Betty's from her modeling days, accompanied by an older business executive. Don points out Betty that Juanita is clearly now working as a call girl. When Pete arrives home that night, he finds Trudy upset because she is having trouble getting pregnant. He tries to console her. In the Drapers' hotel room, a more confident Betty shows Don a sexy merry widow she has bought. The boldness throws Don, and when they try to have sex, he is impotent. The evening ends with Betty and Don watching the Jackie Kennedy TV special, ''A Tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy''. Also watching the special is Joan Holloway and her new doctor-boyfriend, and Salvatore Romano, who is newly married. Pete sits alone watching cartoons, eating the chocolates he purchased for his wife.
Peggy and Salvatore meet with Don to show him their new mockups of the Mohawk campaign. Don rejects their sexy copy idea, to Peggy's frustration. He insists to her that, "You are the product. You, feeling something. That's what sells." He urges them to emphasize the cute little girl running to the plane to greet her father in the ad's artwork- citing a Valentine Sally made him. Peggy thinks of the tagline: "What did you bring me, Daddy?" Meanwhile, Joan hears of Peggy's mistreatment of Lois and decides the put the new copier in Peggy's office making it crowded with secretaries.
Head of Account Services, Duck Phillips, urges Roger to hire some younger people in creative to better market to younger people. Don denigrates the idea that the creative Department needs to have more young people, but Roger insists. The creative team worries about the interviews to hire younger team members, and wonder if Duck is in charge of Don. Don hires two new young employees, ages 24 and 25, both named Smith. While Don is in the elevator leaving work, two young men from another floor get on. They make crude and insulting remarks about women, to the obvious discomfort of a woman riding the elevator. Don forcefully removes one of their hats, teaching them to be more respectful
While driving to pick up Sally from ballet class, Betty's car breaks down. When the tow truck arrives, she flirts with the mechanic and convinces him to lower the price of a new fan belt significantly, so that she can pay for it herself without Don knowing. When she arrives home, she lies to Don about why she was late picking up Sally.
As the episode closes, a pensive Don quotes a poem from ''Meditations in an Emergency,'' which he had been reading all episode, and mails a copy to an unknown person, with the note "Made me think of you. –D."
The Sole Survivor investigates a pre-War amusement park, Nuka-World, when radio advertisements are broadcast into the Commonwealth. Porter Gage, a veteran raider, contacts the Sole Survivor after boarding a monorail and tells them that they are walking into a death trap. Upon arrival, the Sole Survivor must navigate an increasingly-deadly obstacle course called the Gauntlet, which culminates with a fight with Colter, the raider Overboss. Following the death of Colter, Gage reveals the leaders of the three raider gangs conspired to usurp him, using the broadcast and the Gauntlet to find possible replacements. The Sole Survivor is offered to become the Overboss, but must balance the competing needs of each gang of raiders while conquering the outlying areas of the park. Once the entire park is under raider control, the Sole Survivor sets about expanding raider influence in the Commonwealth by conquering settlements, restoring power to Nuka-World to make the park self-sufficient, and thwarting attempts by the Gunners—a band of amoral mercenaries—to seize control of Nuka-World for themselves.
As the Sole Survivor gradually expands their influence, tape recordings and journal entries reveal that despite its popularity, Nuka-World was under threat from serious mismanagement in the weeks and months prior to the Great War. Gradually, John-Caleb Bradberton, the creator of Nuka-Cola and the architect of Nuka-World, is revealed to have redirected resources to fund Project Cobalt, a weapons development project for the United States military. This culminated in the creation of Nuka-Cola Quantum, a variation of Nuka-Cola made with radioactive isotopes. In exchange for his support, the military agreed to include Bradberton in LEAP-X, an attempt to artificially prolong life; however, Braxton, the general in charge of Project Cobalt, saw Bradberton's prediction of an imminent war as a lack of confidence in the military, and thus betrayed him. When the Sole Survivor accesses Bradberton's office, they discover a hidden elevator leading to a private Vault. Inside is Bradberton's still-living head attached to a life support machine; a punishment by Braxton for doubting the military. The player is given the choice of shutting off the power and euthanizing Bradberton at his request or keeping him alive for the sake of Sierra Petrovita, a recurring character from ''Fallout 3'' who idolises Bradberton.
Eventually, the gang the Sole Survivor has been most neglecting will turn on them and take over the power plant of Nuka-World. With the remaining two gangs by their side, the Sole Survivor will have to eliminate the rogue gang. Their actions ultimately decide who controls Nuka-World. In an alternate scenario, they are also given the option of ending raider influence by assassinating the leaders of each gang and their lieutenants, thereby returning control of Nuka-World to the traders who originally used it as a hub of commerce.

The despondent duo is hired to protect some farmers from a gang. On their way back to Yavin, Jack captures the ''Millennium Falcon''. He also holds Princess Leia captive; she was in the process of following Luke Skywalker to a water planet that he was scoping out as a possible Rebel base. Han and Leia lead Jack to Luke, who has crash-landed and learned that, since the time of the Galactic Republic, the planet's denizens have been using jamming devices to bring down ships for salvage. Annoyed by the jamming frequencies, native sea serpents revolt and attack; the conflict escalates when the governor increases the frequency to bring down Jack's cruiser. The ''Falcon'' crew picks up Luke and destroys the jamming device. Jack attacks Han, but the smuggler defeats the pirate.

After witnessing a test of the Tagges' freezing superweapon, the rebels follow them in the ''Falcon''. Luke fights Baron Orman Tagge in a lightsaber duel and destroys the superweapon. Orman is assumed dead, but actually kept alive by Vader. Domina Tagge, a member of a peaceful planet, comes to Yavin and asks Luke to serve as a Rebel representative. Acting as an Imperial representative, Vader blames Orman's apparent death on Luke, causing Domina to turn on him.

While Vader continues to search for Luke, the latter investigates a Star Destroyer whose crew has been debilitated by the Crimson Forever, a virus emanating from a mysterious jewel; Luke is afflicted as well. Lando and Chewbacca encounter Leia at a temporary Rebel base on Golrath; she explains Luke's situation. This prompts Chewie to recount a recent adventure in which Han returned two similar jewels to a temple in the Red Nebula. Leia, Lando, and Chewbacca head to the nebula and discover a Tagge ship whose crew has also succumbed to the illness. Aboard, Domina Tagge reveals that she hired bounty hunters to steal the jewels from the temple, but the Empire took one and people began to succumb to the fever. Domina brings the other jewel to the derelict Star Destroyer, saving all the infected survivors.

The Rebels drive out the monster, and the hoojibs invite them to stay. Meanwhile, Lando returns to Cloud City, which seems to be empty until he is attacked by a deranged Lobot. Then, an Imperial bomb squad lands to disarm explosives planted by ugnaughts. Meanwhile, Luke and a female pilot, Shira, leave to check on Lando as he has not reported in. Lando battles stormtroopers, and one of the bombs goes off. Lando calls a truce with an Imperial officer, who helps him fix Lobot. The cyborg then uses his cybernetic implants to disconnect the bombs. The officer kicks Lando off the platform, and Lobot uses a jet pack to save him.

The cyborg comes back to life and helps the Star Warriors foil Domina's selfish plot. The healing powers of the unified jewels restore Valance's human body even as he sacrifices himself to ensure the destruction of the temperamental gems.
Professional MMA fighter Wes Baylor takes on Jonny Sutherland in a match at the MGM Grand. Upset with the judges' score, Baylor tries to knock Sutherland out and accidentally kills him. Overwhelmed with guilt, Baylor enters self-imposed exile in Thailand.
Six months later, Baylor is still haunted by the death of Sutherland and competes in underground fight clubs. A man, Aldrich, watches Baylor fight, and impressed with him, offers him $1 million for a private one-off match in Myanmar. Upon arrival, Baylor is informed that he will be the victim of a lethal hunt organized by Aldrich. Baylor is given a water bottle and money belt which, unbeknown to him, has a GPS tracker hidden inside. The hunting party consists of Sofia, bullfighter Esparto, video game designer Landon, Maduka, Jacob "Texas" Zimling, Zimling's son Tobias, Aldrich's right-hand man Madden, and Aldrich himself. In addition, the party is accompanied by a group of corrupt Myanmar Army soldiers.
Maduka shoots Baylor with a sniper rifle at a waterfall, but Baylor goes underwater, sneaks up on Maduka, and beats him to death. While fleeing from them, Baylor comes across a local woman named Tha, who helps him get to the border. As the hunt continues, Aldrich gives the hunters motorcycles equipped with guns and rocket launchers. Baylor fights them and commandeers a motorcycle, leaving Tha alone.

After running towards the border, Tha and Baylor come across a field full of landmines. Aldrich and the party arrive at the edge of the minefield, having tracked Baylor via the GPS. Tobias, angered by the death of his father, chases Baylor with an M-16 and is killed by a crossbow bolt that Baylor fires. He drops the assault rifle as he dies and triggers an explosion of the mines. The explosion gives Baylor and Tha enough time to hide in a cave, where Tha finds her missing brother, who is revealed as a previous target of Aldrich's group. He had managed to evade the hunting group's detection and hide.
In the morning, Tha and her brother run away, leaving Baylor behind. Tha and her brother are captured, and Baylor rescues them by capturing Landon. Tha then shoves a sharp object through Sofia's neck which kills her. Meanwhile, Landon's neck is slashed by Aldrich for secretely recording all of the events, which was forbidden.

Meanwhile, Baylor runs away with the boat from the army camp and heads towards the border.
Pursued by the army, Baylor manages to reach the border bridge, where he faces Aldrich and Madden in a final showdown.

Trisha joins Binibining Gay Pilipinas and picks a question she has encountered before. She delivers her memorized answer well "''..if I'll die and be blessed to live again, I would choose to be nobody, nobody but me.''"

The film is set at the fictional Wood Hill College, an elite, rugby-obsessed, all-boys boarding school in Ireland modelled on Castleknock College and Blackrock College, and is seen through the eyes of Ned, an ostracised student at the school. He seems to be the only student at the school who does not enjoy rugby. A new student arrives at the school, Conor, a star rugby player who is assigned to be Ned's roommate. Though the two are initially wary of each other, they soon form a close friendship, with a particular interest in music. A new English teacher, Mr Sherry, also arrives at the school, who, though stern, is encouraging towards Ned and Conor. It is revealed throughout the film that the school generally encourages homophobic behaviour, particularly by the students and the rugby coach, Pascal.
During a night out celebrating with the rugby team, Conor sees Mr Sherry with his male partner at a gay bar. At the same time, Ned realises that Conor is gay after seeing him enter the bar. Later that night back at school, Pascal sees Mr Sherry and Conor talking and worries that Mr Sherry will have a negative effect on Conor. Pascal reports Mr Sherry to the headmaster.
At Mr Sherry's encouragement, Ned and Conor decide to perform a musical piece at the local elementary school's talent show. Pascal encourages another student, Weasel, to ask his cousin (who attends the same school that Conor did prior to his starting at Wood Hill) why Conor got into fights at his previous school. Weasel reports that Conor fought with students who discovered he was gay. Pascal uses this knowledge as blackmail, insinuating that if Conor does not pick different friends, his secret will be revealed. As a result, Conor does not go to the scheduled performance with Ned. Ned turns up at an event with the rugby team to find out why, and Conor shoves him away in front of the entire team.
Angry and frustrated, Ned outs Conor during a rugby rally. A remorseful Ned is suspended and Conor runs away.

Juliette’s (Bitsie Tulloch) college roommate, Alicia (Alicia Lagano), leaves her abusive boyfriend, Joe (Tom Walton), and stays with Nick (David Giuntoli) and Juliette; none of them realize Joe is stalking her. While she is there, Nick realizes that Alicia is a Fuchsbau and tells Juliette. Juliette communicates to Alicia that she knows about the world of Wesen and that Alicia does not need to hide it from her, but Alicia denies knowing what Juliette is talking about.
Meanwhile, Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate what seems to be a Wesen gang murder, with only one witness, Jared Ellis (Dalpre Grayer), who is the teenage brother of Hank’s physical therapist, Zuri, (Sharon Leal). The men who murdered the gang member discuss whether they should take care of the kid who saw them, but realize that Jared’s girlfriend was the waitress at the diner where the murder took place, so they decide to use her instead. When Hank and Nick talk with the murder victim’s girlfriend in the hospital, she refuses to talk with them, until she woges and realizes that Nick is a Grimm, and he tells her that he is there as a cop, but can come back as a Grimm, if she doesn’t help them. She tells them that it was another gang, and Nick and Hank go to ask Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) about the presence of Wesen street gangs. He knows nothing of them, but Rosalee (Bree Turner) does, as she used to buy drugs from them in her “dark period.”
Nick and Hank follow a lead from a red light camera that leads them to the car of Hank’s physical therapist, and they take her brother Jared into custody. When they talk to him, he is clearly terrified and refuses to talk to them, but the men stalk and grab Jared’s girlfriend, Joy (Meredith Adelaide). The gang members arrive at Jared’s apartment, but Zuri is on the phone with Hank and she cries for help. Zuri and Jared identify the men who came to the apartment, and are put into a safe house.
Juliette goes to talk with Rosalee about her concern that Alicia is not acknowledging what she is. Rosalee confides that Juliette doesn’t realize how special she, Nick, and Hank are that they do not judge “or want to cut our heads off.” Rosalee adds that she tried to hide what she was for a long time, as she was dealing with it. The next day as Alicia tells them that she has found a new apartment, Juliette tells her that Nick is a Grimm. She freaks out and as Nick is calming her down, Joe arrives and knocks Nick out and tries to drag Alicia away. Juliette beats Joe, and when Nick comes around and re-enters the fray, Joe says “You are a Grimm; don’t kill me.” To which he responds “I don’t think it is me you have to worry about.” Both Nick and Juliette tell Joe that he better never try to see Alicia again.
Later, the murderers lure Jared to Joy’s house, where we find out that Jared and Zuri are both Wesen, and Zuri kills the head of the Seattle gang of murderers. Hank tells Zuri he does not have a problem with her being Wesen, but she says that she does, and he leaves.

The film tells the story of Tsubasa Ono and Daisuke Yamada, who enter Shirato High School of Sapporo due to similar circumstances: the two idolize Shirato thanks to a good impression from one of its past baseball victories. Tsubasa, a girl who lacks self-confidence, wants to voice her opinion through her instrument of choice, trumpet, while Daisuke wants to join the school's baseball club and win the regional championship. The two make a promise that they will join the brass band and baseball clubs, respectively, and support each other for the championship.
During their first year, Tsubasa and Daisuke befriend Yasushi Kido, who also joins the baseball club, and Himari Wakita, who warns Tsubasa of the brass band's strict commitments. Indeed, Tsubasa is overwhelmed by the club's unrelenting exercises, especially as she has no experience of playing a trumpet before, while her shyness is belittled by fellow freshman Aki Mizushima, a moody but prodigious trumpeter. Nevertheless, with Daisuke's encouragement, Tsubasa holds on and slowly learns the art of a trumpeter, aided by her upperclassman, Yuka Mori. When Yuka becomes depressed after being dismissed from the national championship team due to an injury, Tsubasa stubbornly visits her apartment to ask for her return. Though the brass band ultimately fails in claiming the gold medal, Yuka does return and thanks Tsubasa for her support.
Meanwhile, the baseball team also loses the regional champion title that year, but Daisuke is touched when Tsubasa plays the winning march solo despite being forbidden to do so, which earns her a lash out from her teacher. Tsubasa eventually realizes that she is in love with Daisuke and confesses to him during one night, but he rejects her as he wants to concentrate on baseball first.
Two years later, Tsubasa and Daisuke, now seniors, respectively become trainers for their respective clubs. Despite this, Tsubasa is initially not chosen to play for the national championship, though she requests for additional training and is ultimately selected. She and Mizushima have become friends and are facing a group of ambitious juniors unhappy with the team's current leadership. Meanwhile, a love rival for Tsubasa appears in the form of Akane Sawa, a junior member of the baseball club insisting that Tsubasa is merely hindering Daisuke, especially when Daisuke is handicapped after a training and has little chance to apply for the regional championship. To cheer him up, Tsubasa arranges for the entire brass band club to play an orchestra in front of Daisuke's ward. Daisuke eventually recovers enough for him to participate as a replacement member.
At the regional championship, Shirato's baseball team initially loses track until Daisuke emerges as the team's replacement catcher. In the next half-inning, Daisuke is able to score a walkoff home run, thus winning the champion title.

The game begins with Putt-Putt packing his new school supplies. Putt-Putt is excited to show Mr. Firebird his history report, calculator, and Smokey the Fire Engine lunchbox before school starts. He wakes up Pep, brings his coin, and heads down the road to Mr. Firebird's Lab. He explains about his new Time Portal invention, which allows the past and future to be seen without actually traveling there. After Putt-Putt takes out his things, Mr. Firebird attempts to start the machine. After failing, he realizes he needs a coin to start the machine, and he is fresh out. Putt-Putt offers the coin, and Mr. Firebird starts the machine.
However, the Time Portal goes haywire (out of control) and opens up. It sucks Putt-Putt's objects and Pep into time. A panicked Mr. Firebird tells Putt-Putt of the risk of being sucked into time unless the portal is shut closed for sure. Putt-Putt assures him that he will gather his things and Pep soon, and enters the Time Portal. Putt-Putt must retrieve his lost things and Pep in order for Mr. Firebird to close the portal for good.
Putt-Putt returns to the present with his things and Pep, and Mr. Firebird closes the portal for good. Putt-Putt tells Mr. Firebird that he liked time traveling and that it was the best fun ever. Mr. Firebird is glad that Putt-Putt had fun while time traveling, but then tells Putt-Putt that he's going to be late for school unless he hurries. Putt-Putt tells him that he's right, and he will show him his school supplies later. At school, Putt-Putt shares the news by telling everyone about time traveling as the game ends.

The instructors for the New Zealand drama school are selecting the first-year students. Stanley is admitted. The teacher Hanna is hard on him when he fails to add any emotion to his lines with Frankie. Shy and reserved Stanley meets his two roommates, William and Theo. Teacher Livia wants him to use life experiences to act authentically. Add a "Fuck you" and get physical. This is an acting school.
A sex scandal breaks exposing married tennis pro George Saladin and his star student Victoria. Stanley meets Isolde and they exchange phone numbers. Stanley is assigned to a five-member group acting project. He meets with Hanna and does not connect with this teacher. She wants him to try harder and dig deeper. After lunch with his psychologist father, he does a role playing his father who likes to tell bad jokes. Dad does not want his son to be an actor. Hanna really liked his performance and gave him a book from her own library to read. She tells him acting is hard and he must go all the way. Keep going. Finally he has started acting.
Victoria and Isolde are sisters and they talk a little about the scandal. Isolde tells her sister that she likes Stanley. Later Isolde tells Stanley she had seen Saladin with her sister. There was no forced sex and it looked consensual to her. Stanley's group has decided to use the sex scandal as their acting project. Stanley has not told Isolde and William reminds him she should know.
The next in class assignment is to act an intimate scene. William tells of an Easter dinner event where his father humiliates his mother. Hanna did not like it. He only told a story. Intimacy requires the actor to bear his soul. There must be trust. William says this class was the last place he would share intimacy. Frankie talks to coach Saladin at the coffee shop trying to get background for their project. Isolde invites Stanley and William over for a barbeque. William plays with the family dog. Victoria secretly borrows Stanley's phone to call her coach. William wants Stanley to tell Isolde about their project and once again he fails to come clean. Later the coach calls Stanley to tell Victoria that he has changed his mind. He is staying with his wife.
Hanna has heard of Stanley's girlfriend. She tells him to call off a schoolgirl crush and not embarrass the institute. He sees Isolde and asks her to return his book, but can he just have one picture. She tells him if you will find a private place, I will show you much more. They have sex. They are in love. Nonetheless, the tennis project continues mocking teacher sex with a student. During teacher Perry's class, they announce that William has died in a car crash.
At William's memorial service, Stanley sees Isolde kissing a girl. She tells him that she is sorry but he walks away. Later at a rehearsal, Marnie asks Stanley did he drop Isolde because of the other girl or because of their play. He says she was just too young. There was dissent at a student assembly. Teacher Livia takes the student's side and thinks Dean Hanna Bauer cares more about her new theatre than student grief. In fact she walks out. Later in the parking lot, Hanna tells Stanley that the sex scandal is a great subject even though the coach has pleaded guilty. She calls it great agent bait. Isolde goes to the school looking for Stanley and finds all the set decoration for the play. She feels betrayed.
Stanley finally goes to the Isolde home and tells them about the play. The father Stephen cannot believe how they can violate the family's privacy. Never contact either of his daughters and get out of their home. He explains the performance is cancelled. Stanley tells Isolde he loves her. The night of the performance the curtain parts a small opening, the music starts and the house lights come on. The audience waits. Frankie walks down the isle and walks through the curtain. Minutes later another woman walks down the aisle and through the curtain. Stanley walks down one aisle and Isolde walks down another and they jointly enter the curtain. William loved the "First Follow Technique" and more and more of the audience walked on stage and through the curtain.

The book alternates between the perspective of the lead character, Cora, and chapters told from a different character's perspective. The featured characters are: Ajarry, Cora's grandmother; Ridgeway, a slave catcher; Stevens, a South Carolina doctor conducting a social experiment; Ethel, the wife of a North Carolina station agent; Caesar, a fellow slave who escapes the plantation with Cora; and Mabel, Cora's mother. The chapter locations are: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, and (an undefined) "North".
Cora is a slave on a plantation in Georgia and an outcast after her mother Mabel ran off without her. She resents Mabel for escaping, although it is later revealed that her mother tried to return to Cora but died from a snake bite and never reached her. Caesar approaches Cora about a plan to flee. Reluctant at first, she eventually agrees as her situation with her master and fellow slaves worsens. During their escape, they encounter a group of slave catchers, who capture Cora's young friend Lovey. Cora is forced to kill a teenage boy to protect herself and Caesar, eliminating any possibility of merciful treatment should she be recaptured. With the help of an inexperienced abolitionist, Cora and Caesar find the Underground Railroad, depicted as a literal underground train system that runs throughout the south, transporting runaways northwards. They take a train to South Carolina.
Upon learning of their escape, Ridgeway begins a hunt for the pair, largely in revenge for Mabel, who is the only escapee he has ever failed to capture. Cora and Caesar have taken up comfortable residence in South Carolina under assumed names. South Carolina is enacting a program where the government owns former slaves but employs them, provides medical treatment, and gives them communal housing. The two enjoy their time there and put off the decision to leave until Cora learns of plans to sterilize black women and use black men as test subjects in an experiment to track the spread and degenerative effects of syphilis. Ridgeway arrives before the two can leave and Cora is forced to return to the Railroad alone. She later learns that Caesar was killed by an angry mob after having been caught and jailed by Ridgeway.
Cora eventually arrives in a closed-down station in North Carolina. She is found by Martin, the son of the station's former operator. North Carolina has recently decided to abolish slavery, using indentured servants instead, and violently executes any runaway slaves found in the state (as well as some freedmen). Martin, terrified of what the North Carolinians might do to an abolitionist, hides Cora in his attic for several months. Cora becomes ill and is reluctantly treated by Martin's wife, Ethel. While Cora is down from the attic, a raid is conducted on the house, and she is recaptured by Ridgeway, while Martin and Ethel are executed by the mob.
Ridgeway takes Cora back toward Georgia, detouring through Tennessee to return another slave to his master. While stopped in Tennessee, Ridgeway's traveling party is attacked by the free-born Royal and two escaped slaves, who release Cora. Cora travels to a farm in Indiana owned by a free black man named Valentine, along with Royal. The farm is populated by a number of freedmen and escapees, living and working in harmony. Royal, an operator on the Railroad, begins a romantic relationship with Cora, although she remains hesitant because of a rape by other slaves in her childhood.
A small faction of freedmen, fearing that their peaceful life will be ruined by the presence of escaped slaves, oppose the harboring of non-members of the community. Eventually, the farm is burned and many people, including Royal, are killed in a raid by white Hoosiers. Various theories are held concerning the source of the attack. Ridgeway recaptures Cora and forces her to take him to a closed-down Railroad station nearby. When they arrive, she pushes him down a flight of stairs, severely injuring him. When last seen, he is whispering thoughts on the "American imperative" to Homer, who writes them in his journal. Cora then runs off down the tracks. Eventually, she emerges from underground to find a caravan traveling out West. She is given a ride by one of the wagons' black drivers.
The game is set in the near future, where Earth has received a mysterious signal from Tharsis on Mars. With scientists believing it to be a sign of extraterrestrial life, the Iktomi is built, and its six crewmembers are sent to Mars to investigate the anomaly. Depending on the characters used, the voice of the commander will be either male or female. However, halfway through their mission, the ship is suddenly hit by a micrometeorite storm that kills two crew members, Mapiya Musgrave and J. Cross, and destroys the Pantry where the food is stored. With limited food supplies and crew, disasters start running rampant throughout the ship, and the astronauts are forced to constantly fight to survive. Despite still being able to contact Mission Control, they are unable to turn back home.
During the journey, the crew deciphers data sent from Tharsis and realizes that it shows what seems to be an exact copy of the crew of the Iktomi who are in dire straits. Unsure of what to make of this data, they manage to survive until they reach Mars and launch the capsule, while the Iktomi remains in orbit and is destroyed. The crew tracks down the signal and comes across an alien artifact. Suddenly, the artifact flashes with a bright light. If one or more of the Iktomi's crew is dead, the artifact's energy release seemingly kills everyone. One of the crew manages to survive long enough to send a distress call, which the artifact sends back in time, creating a causal loop. However, if all of the crew survive, then one of the crew members manages to pick up a rock and throw it at the artifact, destroying it in a massive explosion, with their ultimate fate unknown and Mars now covered in a layer of snow, implying the planet can now support human life.

In 2019, Chicago is placed under martial law after a global extraterrestrial invasion. As the Drummond family attempts to flee the city, they break through a barricade but are confronted by the aliens, who vaporize the parents but leave their sons Gabriel and Rafe alive.
By 2027, the world has capitulated to the alien "Legislators", submitting to their governance. Humans are conscripted to build "Closed Zones", underground habitats for the aliens with access only granted to and by high government officials.
Gabriel Drummond, living in the impoverished Pilsen neighborhood, is confronted by Chicago Police Special Branch Commander William Mulligan, who had partnered with Gabriel's father before the invasion. Mulligan is convinced that the Phoenix resistance group has not been neutralized, contrary to what the public has been told, but Gabriel offers him no information.
Gabriel meets with a member of Phoenix to sell a hand-rolled cigarette containing secret information received from a coworker. The man takes him to Wicker Park, where he meets his brother Rafe, the leader of the resistance. Rafe takes the coded cigarette and directs Gabriel to leave as Phoenix is planning to attack the upcoming Unity Rally at Soldier Field. Rushing to his apartment and hastily packing, Gabriel is again confronted by Mulligan, who had him under surveillance. Gabriel evades Mulligan and hides underground.
The cigarette’s code allows Rafe's team to access Chicago's surveillance system and the deployment patterns of law enforcement units. Rafe and other Phoenix members attack the Unity Rally, using an invisible alien explosive device against the aliens when they arrive. The attack initially appears successful, but the city is subsequently locked down and swarmed by security forces in response. Angered by the attack, the aliens bring in hunters from off-world to seek out the perpetrators, finding Rafe and his accomplices Anita and Daniel. Anita is vaporized and Daniel ingests a cyanide pill to avoid capture, but Rafe is shot and arrested by Mulligan before he can ingest his cyanide pill.
Gabriel emerges from hiding but is taken into custody during a police raid. Mulligan shows him his brother being tortured for information and convinces him to send a message through the Phoenix network in hopes of meeting the supposed ringleader, Number One. Gabriel is eventually led to Jane Doe, a prostitute running a brothel in Pilsen, who acknowledges Gabriel by name, to his confused surprise. Police raid the house, and Doe is killed.
The subsequent investigation reveals that Doe bugged her own residence to record conversations with Special Branch members and glean classified information. The tapes reveal that Police Commissioner Eugene Igoe divulged sensitive information about the aliens' arrival to Soldier Field which allowed Phoenix to develop their attack strategy. Igoe, along with Rafe and many others, are deported off-world and Mulligan, declaring the Chicago threat neutralized, is promoted to Acting Commissioner.
Mulligan meets with Gabriel privately, with Gabriel lamenting that Rafe's plan failed. Mulligan, retrieving a box earlier received from Doe, reveals a BlackBerry phone, giving the memory card to Gabriel and suggesting that maybe failure was the plan. Gabriel reviews the card’s contents — a video depicting his own baby shower, and revealing Jane Doe taught at the same school as his mother. It was at the shower that she was introduced to Mulligan, with several Phoenix members present, and the video closes with Mulligan leaving a message for Gabriel, inspiring him to carry the torch of Phoenix.
Meanwhile, Mulligan is cleared to meet underground with the Legislators. As he descends, the invisible substance of the powerful alien explosive envelops him, indicating he is part of the resistance and that the whole 'failed' plan was orchestrated to allow him to deal a fatal blow to the Legislators.
During the credits, a map details that the Chicago Closed Zone was successfully destroyed, with other resistance strikes and protests having broken out in cities all over the world, indicating that the opening exhortation to "light a match and ignite a war" has led humanity to attempt to overthrow their alien oppressors.

Three years after the events of the first film, Red protects Bird Island from the pigs, led by King Leonard Mudbeard, who are in a prank war against the birds. One day, a giant ice ball from nearby Eagle Island hits the sea near Piggy Island, forcing the pigs to seek a temporary truce with the birds. Zeta, the leader of Eagle Island, is angry with her frozen surroundings and wants to occupy the two islands by shooting ice balls from a super-weapon to force their inhabitants to evacuate.
Red's two best friends, Chuck and Bomb, surprise Red and ask him to join them in a speed dating activity, where Red meets Chuck's sister Silver, an engineering student whose inventions are very boring and deems Red incompatible. Leonard visits Red and convinces him to form an alliance. They recruit Chuck, Bomb, Silver and Bird Island's retired hero, Mighty Eagle. A meeting in Mighty Eagle's cave gets disrupted when an ice ball from Zeta's super-weapon hits Eagle Mountain, which alarms the other birds living on Bird Island.
As the team travels to Eagle Island by submarine, Red assures the other birds that they do not need to evacuate. Once there, Mighty Eagle confesses that Zeta was once his fiancée but he abandoned her due to cowardice before he flies away. Red insists on fighting alone but Silver decides to follow him instead. They intrude the base from the mouth of the weapon, only to be captured and frozen to inflatable water toys. Zeta tells them her plan to fire ice balls filled with lava at both islands, and demonstrates her newly upgraded cannon.
Red, regretting not telling the birds to evacuate, admits his wish to be liked by everyone to Silver, who comforts him and frees them both. Meanwhile, the other team members disguise themselves as an eagle and grab a key card to get into the base, where they reunite with Red and Silver. Red gives up leadership to Silver, who establishes a plan to destroy the cannon as it begins to load up ammunition in ten minutes for the actual attack on both islands. Red and Silver put themselves inside an ice ball and roll it down the spiraling ammunition track of Zeta's cannon, while their allies work to sever the track by reaching and pulling a switch so that the ball flies off and crushes the cannon.
The plan fails and the team gets confronted by Zeta and her guards, giving her a chance to fire the weapon. Mighty Eagle arrives and makes a desperate attempt to stop Zeta by apologizing to her for abandoning her. Zeta brushes him off, revealing his real name is Ethan and that her assistant Debbie is their daughter. While Zeta is distracted, Chuck ties up the weapon using Silver's new invention, a very strong string called Super-String, which catches and decelerates the lava balls after Zeta fires them.
As the string breaks, a trio of hatchlings and a trio of piglets passing by Eagle Island help grasp it. The lava balls slide back into the cannon, destroying it and the base. Everyone escapes, and Mighty Eagle protects Debbie from being crushed by a metal plate, redeeming himself to her and Zeta. Mighty Eagle and Zeta get married on Bird Island, with Red as the chief witness. Afterwards, Red credits Silver and the entire team for saving the islands, and as a result finds himself being even more beloved for his honesty and selflessness.
While the rest of the birds, pigs, and eagles celebrate Zeta and Mighty Eagle's marriage, Silver and Red start a relationship.

Israel has spent years developing a brief that he believes will bring reform to the unfair use of plea bargaining to induce guilty pleas in the justice system. Though short on social skills, Israel is gifted with a phenomenal memory as well as strong personal convictions, which he has pursued at the expense of family.
Jackson suffers a fatal heart attack. The firm is broke and will close, all to be handled by Jackson's former student, George Pierce. Pierce, who greatly admired Jackson and is impressed by Israel's legal mind, offers a job at his own large firm. Israel initially rejects this offer, believing that Pierce is simply a greedy lawyer. Israel meets Maya during a job interview at a local activist network. The interview does not go well, but Maya asks him to speak at an upcoming meeting organizing a protest. Struggling to find a job elsewhere, Israel reluctantly takes up Pierce's job offer.
Israel is a poor fit at his new firm, clashing with senior partner Jesse Salinas over a joke Salinas makes about battered women. After attempting to interest Pierce in his brief, Israel is disappointed to be assigned to handle clients. One such client is Derrell Ellerbee, a young man arrested for murder, who tells Israel that he is willing to divulge the whereabouts of the actual shooter, Carter "CJ" Johnson, and will testify against him. Israel goes behind Pierce's back to negotiate a plea deal with the district attorney. The prosecutor rejects his offer and hangs up on Israel after he insults her unsympathetic counter-offer. No deal is struck and Ellerbee is murdered as a snitch.
On the same evening, Israel is berated by Pierce for mishandling of Ellerbee's case, then is mugged by a homeless man he attempted to help. He becomes downcast and cynical, illegally using the information he received from Ellerbee to anonymously collect the $100,000 reward for Johnson's location. Israel indulges in luxuries he had previously eschewed. Pierce apologizes to Israel for berating him earlier and for forcing him out of the shadows, accepting that he thrives working behind the scenes as he did at his old firm. Maya calls Israel to ask him out on a date, where she shares some of her struggles with idealism and thanks Israel for his inspiring her. Pierce invites Israel to a game, where he shares some of his big plans for their future at the firm.
Pierce calls Israel to meet a new client arrested for murder. Before the meeting, Pierce resumes the conversation from the game stating that Israel's dedication to justice has touched him, and that he is reorganizing the firm to take on ''pro bono'' cases handled by Israel. Pierce offers to work with Israel on his brief. Israel, still a bit despondent, is unmoved by these developments. They go in to see the client, who turns out to be Johnson. Meeting Israel in jail, Johnson accuses him of divulging privileged communications to collect the reward money, and resolves to torment Israel with the threat of jail time or death. Israel suffers a breakdown in which he becomes a law unto himself becoming both the lawyer and the defendant in one and judges his own actions as unlawful. Renouncing his momentary transgression, Israel goes home and returns the reward money with a note apologizing for taking it in the first place. He reconciles with Maya and Pierce, and tries to motivate them to pursue their inner sense of justice. He tells Pierce that he is turning himself in to the police for his crime. As Israel starts walking to a nearby station, he is shot and killed by one of Johnson's henchmen.
In the aftermath, Maya is seen to be renewed in her activism efforts, while Pierce files Israel's brief, in both their names, intent on continuing his efforts to reform the justice system.
Ten years after the events of ''Adulthood'', Sam Peel has retired from a life of crime, having settled down with his girlfriend Kayla and their two children. He works four jobs to support them as well as Alisa and her teenage daughter, whose father was "Trife", whom he killed years ago. Alisa has forgiven Sam, but wants him to tell her daughter what happened to Trife. One day, Sam overhears a girl describe how she was attacked by a man named "Mooks".
Sam's brother Royston is in a band with Henry. During a gig, Drew shoots Royston, then leaves an envelope next to him addressed to Sam. Sam visits Royston in the hospital and sees their mother, Mrs. Peel. Sam learns from Henry that Drew was ordered to shoot Royston. Henry gives Sam the envelope, containing an address, which Henry insists Sam must go to alone.
Sam bumps into a woman, Janette, who "accidentally" spills coffee. At her flat, she seduces Sam while recording the encounter. Heading home, Sam fights a pursuer, then tangles with Hugs who threatens his family. Sam arrives at the address, a mansion. He fights the pursuer and enters but he is outnumbered and beaten. Daley intervenes on behalf of Mooks, the criminal boss. Sam refuses to work with Daley, and is taken to the basement where he sees Curtis, Trife's uncle, who wants revenge for Trife's death and for Curtis' time in prison. Sam escapes the house but is caught by Drew and other thugs. When Henry arrives to rescue Sam, Hugs stabs a thug as a warning.
Sam calls Kayla and tells her to hide the family from Curtis. However, upon seeing the DVD of his sexual encounter with Janette, an angry Kayla leaves him. Sam goes to his old friend Buds, now a detective. Buds cannot enter the mansion without a warrant. Daley is furious that Sam has contacted the police, and orders Curtis to hurt Sam's family. Instead, Curtis and Hugs conspire to kill Daley and take over. Mrs. Peel sees Janette being attacked, and brings her inside. When Janette texts someone, Mrs. Peel calls Sam who realises he is being set up as Janette works for Daley; she lets in Curtis and Hugs, who kills Mrs. Peel. The police arrest Sam but Buds releases him. At Mrs. Peel's funeral, Royston tells Sam that Penny is pregnant and they are moving to America. After Sam and Kayla have sex following the funeral, Kayla tells Sam that she and the kids will not return until he ends his involvement with Curtis and Daley.
Sam breaks into the gym, looking for a gun. Brick tells Sam he and Calvin are seeking revenge on Mooks for raping Sariya, Brick's daughter. Sam and Henry track down Daley's henchman, helped by Hassan. Sam assaults Drew who reveals Curtis' and Daley's whereabouts. Elsewhere, Henry encounters Yardz, one of Mooks' henchmen, and confesses that he has been lying to his girlfriend to excuse time away from her and his son, who he wrongly thinks is not his. Henry also successfully persuades Yardz to change his life and walk away from involvement with Mooks.
Sam storms Daley's estate with Hassan, Henry, Brick, Sariya and Calvin, as police approach. They link with Curtis and Hugs. Janette guards a locked penthouse door; Sam knocks her out and kicks the door. Daley, suspecting that he was being double-crossed by his gang, fatally stabs Hugs and escapes. Sam pulls the knife from Hugs as the police arrive and make arrests.
After being exonerated by Buds, Sam calls Curtis to fight to the death. Sam overpowers Curtis and wrestles a gun away. He pulls out the bullets, dropping them and the gun on the floor. Curtis loads a single bullet, but before he can shoot Sam, police gun him down. Dying, Curtis tells Sam where Daley is.
Sam finds Daley filling a bag with money. Sam switches on the light, revealing Brick, Sariya and Calvin. They unmask Daley as Mooks, the real boss who had beaten and raped Sariya. Sam confronts Mooks for his actions, grabs the bag from him and leaves. Brick shoots Mooks dead.
Safely away, Sam divides up the money with Royston, Alisa, and everyone who helped him get revenge on Curtis, Drew and Mooks. Strolling with his family, Sam encounters Buds. Buds says Sam will get no more help from him but affirms they are still friends, warning him to stay out of trouble.

During World War II, Wehrmacht Captain Stefan Brandt is assigned to take command of the personal bodyguard of deposed German Emperor Wilhelm II at his estate of Huis Doorn, near Utrecht, Netherlands. Nazi authorities are concerned that an Allied spy may be planning to assassinate the former Kaiser. While Wilhelm is an elderly man with no power, the SS are aware that he remains a great symbolic importance to the German people.
Despite the Kaiser's adjutant, Colonel Sigurd von Ilsemann, giving Brandt strict orders not to interfere with the female servants, Brandt is immediately drawn into a passionate affair with Mieke de Jong, one of the maids, who reveals to Brandt that she is Jewish.
Gestapo Inspector Dietrich informs Brandt that the British Secret Service has an agent with a radio hidden somewhere in a nearby village and orders Brandt to identify the second agent known to be inside the ex-Kaiser's household.
Prior to a visit from SS Commander Heinrich Himmler, Brandt notices a smell of gun oil from Mieke's room. He follows Mieke when she visits the village pastor and watching outside a window hears her tell the pastor that she is prepared to assassinate Himmler as revenge for the SS having murdered her father and husband. The pastor responds that assassinating Himmler is not their mission.
The SS pinpoints the pastor’s radio transmissions. They arrest and savagely torture him, demanding the name of the other spy. Shortly afterward, Wilhelm's wife Hermine, jealous of Wilhelm's fondness for Mieke, tells him of Brandt and Mieke's affair. She expects her husband to dismiss Mieke and have Brandt court-martialed, but the ex-Kaiser angrily responds that even though he no longer rules Germany, he will rule his own house. In private, he reveals to the lovers that he fathered illegitimate children before and after marrying his first wife, Empress Augusta Victoria. Saying he will not be a hypocrite, the Kaiser orders the lovers to go about their duties, but to be more discreet.
During a planned house search before Himmler's arrival, Brandt himself searches Mieke's room to protect her cover. Brandt learns as Himmler is arriving that the tortured pastor will soon reveal Mieke's identity and he urges her to flee. She refuses, insisting that she has a mission.
Himmler extends to Wilhelm an invitation from Adolf Hitler to return to his former throne in Berlin. He then meets with Brandt and Dietrich, informing them that the invitation is a bluff, intended to draw out and execute anti-Nazi monarchists. Hermine is overjoyed at the thought of finally becoming Empress of Germany but Wilhelm, troubled by Himmler's boasts about the euthanasia of disabled children, remains unsure even when Colonel von Ilsemann speaks to him of how Wilhelm can become "a restraining influence."
When Brandt asks von Ilsemann whether an officer can serve something other than his country, the Colonel replies, "First you must decide what is your country and if it even still exists." Brandt pauses, then tells von Ilsemann of Himmler's plans for the Kaiser's supporters.
Mieke completes her mission by delivering to Wilhelm a message from Winston Churchill, offering the Kaiser political asylum in the United Kingdom and the throne of a defeated Germany after the war. Wilhelm refuses, having decided that he is finally at peace with the loss of his throne.
As the Gestapo closes in on Mieke, Brandt devises an escape plan. Wilhelm, Mieke, and Brandt escape in a van as the Kaiser pretends to have a heart attack. In the process, Brandt kills Dietrich and another SS officer. Mieke asks Brandt to flee with her, fearing he will be executed for the murders. Brandt insists that he has a duty to Germany and has a good alibi. As Mieke departs, Brandt asks Mieke to marry him. She tells Brandt yes and to find her after the war, then she flees into the woods.
Some time later, Brandt is working at a desk in Berlin. He is delivered a package, which contains a book of Friedrich Nietzsche's writings that Mieke had once shown him. Inside is written a London address. In London, Mieke is seated on a park bench when she is informed that Churchill is ready to see her. Rising, Mieke puts her hand on her belly, revealing that she is pregnant. In Utrecht, Colonel von Ilsemann informs Wilhelm that Brandt has called from Berlin with wonderful news. Realising this means Mieke has escaped to Britain, Wilhelm is overjoyed.

They visit a church (the 11th-century Romanesque Basilica of St Magdalene in Vezelay, France) where Anne grieves the baby she lost, and tells Jacques she wears her locket necklace in his honor. They share a romantic dinner together where Jacques admires Anne's photography, and asks why she doesn't share it with her husband.
Later, on the road, Jacques confides that only he knows his brother's death was a suicide, and he carries that burden so his nephew doesn't have to know. They finally reach the place where Anne is staying and almost kiss, but the elevator doors close in on them. Anne sees Jacques has driven away, but he returns to kiss her passionately and ask her to a rendez-vous with him later in San Francisco.

During a battle with the Demon Tribe's King, Mo Yuan sacrificed himself in order to seal away the Demon King. His soul was scattered and his body became preserved in a block of ice. Bai Qian took Mo Yuan's body back to Qing Qiu, a mystical land where her family lives, where she awaited his eventual awakening and return.
One day, Bai Qian attends a banquet where she saves a boy named Ah Li from getting kidnapped. She also meets his father, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Tribe and her betrothed.

The main character is Robin, a naive and helpful mechanic. She lives in a world where the sinister religious authority the One Concern, ruled by a being known as "Mother", has taken over the government, and allows only licensed mechanics to handle the power source called "Ivory" that drives its machines. Due to her attempts to help people in need despite being a self-taught mechanic, the soldiers of the One Concern track down Robin and label her a criminal and a heretic, which forces her to escape along with her allies and fight back against the One Concern.
Ivory, a white liquid said to exist in all matter on the planet, is venerated by the One Concern as a holy substance. In addition to powering machines, it can grant supernatural abilities to select few humans through fusion with their blood. Those who survive but become mutilated in the process become Agents, legal enforcers possessing extraordinary strength, long lifespans, and a range of superpowers; those who flawlessly survive the process, such as Mother and her successor Royal, are extolled as Mediums, destined leaders of the human race, possessing telekinetic power over all matter containing Ivory.
A conflicting religion is practiced by the Isi, a people who live underwater thanks to excavated technology, powered by harvesting Ivory from the ocean floor through different means than those of the surface dwellers. The One Concern engages in armed conflict against the Isi, labeling them "pirates."
During the course of the game, it is revealed that Ivory supplies are dwindling due to exploitation by both the One Concern and the Isi; not only has research into replacement power sources failed or been regarded as a regression, but the planet's structure has also destabilized due to deprivation of Ivory, causing intermittent earthquakes believed to indicate the impending death of the planet.
Robin is a unregistered mechanic in her community, following in her father's footsteps despite the threat of the One Concern; her brother Elro is a Concern chemist secretly carrying out subversive research while raising his family. One day, Concern agents Black and White surprise Robin while she is repairing Elro's house. As punishment, the house is destroyed, killing his family, and Robin is thrown in prison where she befriends and escapes with Mina, a member of an outcast religious group called the Isi. On the run, Robin encounters Royal, the heir to Mother, leader of the concern. Royal helps Robin evade General Chrome, chief of the Concern military, and Mina takes them both to the hidden settlement Isilugar. They fend off a Concern attack, killing agent White in the process, and Black retreats after taking Mina's partner Samba captive.
The search for Samba brings Robin, Elro, and Mina to a secret Concern structure where children are being brainwashed to form the foundation of a new, cult-like society. Although they rescue Samba, Agent Black rips Elro's arm off over an old wrong and prepares to kill him, but General Chrome intervenes and has him sent to a Concern hospital, much to Black's dismay. In the chaos, Robin is thrown into an underground facility, where she is reunited with Royal. They accidentally activate and defeat a massive alien machine, but it transmits a signal up into the sky as it is destroyed.
Royal offers to help Robin infiltrate the One Concern's headquarters to rescue Elro, but to his dismay finds himself condemned for the signal transmission- he has accidentally summoned the Starworm, a spacefaring entity the Concern worships as a god, to destroy the planet. The Concern activates an emergency plan to evacuate its leadership to one of the moons on a rocket. General Chrome, learning of this, decides the Concern has lost its way and starts an insurrection. After rescuing Elro, Royal seeks an audience with Mother, who rejects and attacks him, forcing Robin to kill her. As the One Concern collapses into civil war, Chrome corners the group and prepares to execute them to clear the field for his new regime, but is himself killed by Elro.
Royal convinces everyone to help him hijack the escape rocket and confront the Starworm himself on the moon. Agent Black resolves to stop them, but is killed after transforming into a monstrous creature. Upon arriving at the moon base, Royal gets the Starworm's attention, but it ignores his entreaties until he goes too far and damages it with his powers, provoking it into breaching the base's hull. Royal sinks into despair and Robin is forced to leave him behind and return home in an escape capsule.
The Starworm burrows into the planet and everyone tries to make their peace with the seemingly imminent end of the world. Robin, optionally accompanied by Mina depending on dialog choices, goes to its landing site and exploits the damage Royal did to incapacitate it. The Starworm is revealed to be a vehicle piloted by a large birdlike alien, who had expected to drain the planet of its ivory to refuel. After the alien is defeated, the Starworm ruptures and discharges a vast amount of ivory, rejuvenating the ecosystem. Robin returns home and takes a well-deserved nap.
In the end credits scene we see what happens to some of the other people of the planet: doctor Gustavo and Teegan start studying their new surroundings post-crisis situation, the ChemiCo Contra rediscover a way to use electricity, Tolo mourns General Chrome's death as the rest of the soldiers recognize him as his new leader, Mina and Samba reunite and share a kiss, Mendeleev furiously cries as Nobel accompanies her and Ash looks at them in the distance before disappearing just as Nobel turns around, Emmet Darland lies in the peak of a snowy mountain alone and lost, his position of power and place in the world now gone, people of the Bastion suffer the consecuences of Chrome's insurrection, the isolated members of the tower struggle to find a new purpose in life and Samba and Mina look forward into the new future their friend has given to them.

The game takes place in the future, and revolves around two intelligent but socially awkward cybercriminals, the roboticist Boogan (Jonathan Jones) and the hacker Jacker (Andrew Miller). The two of them desire to infiltrate the space station owned by the Nakamura Corporation, which is the world's largest and wealthiest producer of androids. They believe that Nakamura holds the source code for their highly intelligent androids, or "Nakas", within the station, since all the androids are controlled from a single server room. They find a contact named Viktor (Steven Kelly) who claims to have a number of freelance spies who work for him, and they hire one named "Ghost" (Mirisha Lottich) from him to sneak into the station via space elevator.
They tell Ghost to do whatever is necessary to capture the artificial intelligence code, believing they can sell it to the highest bidder and become rich. However, as Ghost shuts down various parts of the station, her behavior starts to become unusual. Boogan and Jacker begin to suspect that Ghost is actually a sentient AI that resides on the same server as the Nakas. They also discover that Nakamura is synthesizing organic compounds aboard the station for some reason.
To test their theory of Ghost being an AI, they cause a massive power fluctuation, which also causes Ghost to lose her connection. This proves them right, meanwhile, Viktor is angered that Boogan and Jacker are sabotaging his agents and sends a real human agent to destroy Ghost's chassis. Ghost narrowly escapes from Viktor's agent, but Viktor decides to target Jacker instead, kidnapping him and putting him deep underground to blackmail Boogan to stop.
Ghost leaves the station and goes with Boogan to rescue Jacker, successfully infiltrating the highly secured underground compound. She then returns to the station and accesses the server room. There, she realizes that all the "servers" were in fact human brains being fed nutrients by the station. Viktor attempts to kill her by destroying her disembodied brain, but one of the station's scientists saves her by putting her brain onto a robot with a force field. Ghost is then able to fight off waves of defense robots while Jacker defeats Viktor's hired hacker and manages to hide Ghost's brain forever by scrambling the entire database of the brains' serial numbers.
At the end of the story, it is revealed that Nakamura purchased a bankrupt cryonics company that had stored thousands of brains, revived them using technology they invented, and erased their memories to profit from using them to control robotic avatars through a brain-computer interface. Viktor was in on the plan and purchased some of the brains to use as powerful agents. All the Nakas are set free and given human rights, recognizing their status as cyborgs, while the CEO of Nakamura (Alex Jenks) is arrested. Ghost decides to join Boogan and Jacker as a permanent member of their team, much to their shock.
Exes Morgan and Jean, who are extremely popular locally for their true crime podcast that focuses on female killers, continue to live and work together despite having ended their relationship.
While volunteering at a food co-op, Morgan meets Simone, a mysterious dark haired woman who gives her number to Morgan. Morgan begins dating Simone. Shortly after, the lead organizer of the food co-op, Grace, is found dead with Simone being one of the last people to see her alive. Morgan's ex Jean, who has always been suspicious of Simone, begins to suspect that Simone might be involved in Grace's death. She begins researching Simone's background, discovering her real name is Allison Walker. Jean confronts Morgan with this information and has her listen to one of their old podcasts which includes an interview of the serial killer Josephine "The Clipper" Walker and her regret for the effect her murders had on her daughter Ally.
Though initially dismissive of Jean's suspicions, Morgan begins to become frightened of Simone and her odd behaviour. She wakes up one night to Simone setting the fire alarm off in the kitchen and Morgan finds a burnt piece of a passport photo the next day. Morgan finds Simone in an anxious state rapidly clipping her fingernails on the bed and she then attempts to clip Morgan's nails. Morgan reports this to Jean who now tells her that she has done more research on Simone and does not believe that she is a murderer anymore.
After attending her best friend Alex's bachelorette party, Morgan tucks Alex into bed as she is extremely drunk from the nights festivities. Simone spends the night at Alex's partner Kim's bachelorette party. Morgan pries open a mysterious box Simone keeps in her house and discovers an elaborate nail grooming kit and boxes containing nail clippings with the six names of the girls who were killed by "The Clipper." Scared for her own life, Morgan returns to Jean's apartment and informs her of what she found. The next morning Kim arrives at the apartment to tell them that Alex is missing. Jean and Morgan fear that she has been murdered by Simone.
Jean and Morgan begin stalking Simone, hoping she will lead them to Alex's body. Instead they accidentally run into Alex who is very much alive. Alex accuses Jean and Morgan of concocting an elaborate fantasy that Simone is a killer in order to come up with an excuse to spend time together as they have unresolved feelings for one another. The two deny the accusation and angrily part from each other.
Later on, Morgan goes to see Jean whose new boyfriend tells her that Jean went to the co-op to check up on her and Simone who were supposed to have shift there. At the co-op, Morgan finds an unconscious Jean on the ground. Simone claims Jean fell on her own. Morgan assumes that Simone hurt Jean and picks up a knife off of the ground next to the nail grooming kit to defend herself. Simone asks Morgan "What if I told you I did kill those people?" and asks Morgan if she just wants a way out of their relationship. Simone suggests that she and Morgan could have a happy and fulfilled life together, reaching forward to embrace Morgan. However she ends up accidentally impaling herself on Morgan's knife. Jean regains consciousness in time to witness the stabbing, revealing that she did accidentally hurt herself and Simone was innocent.
Leaving the co-op Morgan runs into another co-op member and explains her blood-soaked sweater by revealing she "hurt some people."
As Morgan walks down the street, the audience hears Morgan and Jean's podcast as they argue over whether or not an act of murder was done in self-defense. This dialogue of Morgan defending the murderer mirrors her own belief that she killed Simone in self-defense. Jean disagrees and claims that there was no reason to murder out of self-preservation. The two decide to poll their listeners on their thoughts.
The ending of the film comments on the fact that Morgan and Jean spend all their time studying these cases but are able to disassociate from the horrendous acts without considering how it feels to be the people they profit off of in their podcast.

Steven, using his power to create sentient plants, licks a pumpkin seed. The next morning, it has come to life as a barking pumpkin-dog, which Peridot and Lapis adopt as a pet.
Just then, a biplane lands near the barn. The pilot (Dave Willis) emerges, ranting indignantly about the modifications Lapis and Peridot have made to the structure. He denounces them as hobos and hippies squatting on his property. Lapis and Peridot prepare to attack him while Steven calls his father, Greg (Tom Scharpling), for help.
When Greg arrives with Garnet (Estelle), Amethyst (Michaela Dietz), and Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall), he introduces the pilot as his cousin, Andy DeMayo. Though delighted to learn Steven is his nephew, Andy is angry at Greg for separating himself from their family, and for allowing "illegal aliens" to live in the barn. He reminisces about the annual family reunions the DeMayos used to hold at the barn, and so Steven offers to prepare a festive dinner to convince Andy to let Lapis and Peridot stay. The Gems begin harvesting vegetables and preparing the meal; but tensions rise between the Gems and Andy when Peridot and Pearl build a stove by disassembling an airplane engine that was a valued memento of Andy's parents.
The Gems leave to buy party supplies, and Andy begins to relax, telling Steven about his love of flying. When the Gems return with a confused assortment of wedding, baby shower, and funeral supplies, Andy takes it in stride. But at dinner, Andy is alienated by the Gems' strangeness and confused by their in-jokes, and when they thank each other for helping prepare dinner, Andy is left out. Feeling excluded, Andy leaves in his plane.
Steven has Lapis fly him up to Andy's plane. In mid-air, Andy tells Steven about his frustration that other members of his family have moved on; Steven tells Andy that he wants to be part of the family and get to know his uncle. When Steven slips and falls off the plane, Andy dives to catch him. As they fly back to the barn, Andy admits that he bears some responsibility himself for losing touch with family. The Gems awkwardly welcome him back, and Greg and Andy reconcile and embrace.

In the Eight Hundredth Millennium the Sun is fading and Earth is freezing over. Humanity needs a new home if it is to survive and Venus has been chosen for exploration. Seven expeditions have gone to Venus and vanished: now the eighth is leaving. Physicist Erom Reve discovers, to his dismay, that his traveling companion will be Daolgi Kar, a self-styled poet who brings his little dog Tippy.
Reaching Venus, the men must bail out of their spacecar before meteors destroy it. They descend under electric parachutes and then make their way across the alien landscape until they come to a city, where they are captured and put into a zoo. Over several weeks they learn the rudiments of the Venusian language. After convincing the Venusians that they are not animals, the two men (with Tippy) are sent to prison for entering the nation of Wultho illegally. There they refine their knowledge of the local language and customs. After a year Erom and Daolgi are sent to work in a sawdust factory.
Daolgi’s inattention to his job leads to a fire that burns down the sawdust factory. In the confusion the two men and Tippy escape from the city and take refuge in the countryside. They end up living in a cave by the sea and Erom struggles to make green glass, the highest denomination of Venusian currency. When he succeeds in making two large chunks of it, he and Daolgi go to a village. They are given a hostile reception as vagabonds until Erom displays some green glass, then the villagers welcome him and Daolgi as Large Letter Men.
When the Earthmen hear rumors of white-skinned giants terrorizing a distant continent, Erom arranges an expedition by airship to investigate his suspicion that the monsters are actually members of the previous expeditions from Earth. They arrive at a Wulthonian outpost and plunge into the jungle, where they find a small hamlet occupied by humans. Using a crude wireless telegraph, the explorers have gathered in all of the expeditions as they crash-landed on Venus and now they live in peace with their neighbors. Having already established himself as the owner of a town in Wultho, Erom convinces the others to come back with him and possibly find a way to contact Earth.
With the help of two of the others, Erom returns to the seaside cave and makes a large quantity of green glass. He uses the new wealth to become the richest and most powerful man on Venus. Working in secret, Erom has a set of new spacecars built for him and his friends and he builds a radio capable of communicating with Earth. A foreign dignitary comes to his town and one of his companions inadvertently insults him, thereby triggering a planetwide war. Their greed for colored glass exceeded only by their eagerness to slaughter each other, the Venusians use a newly invented death ray in their orgy of self-annihilation. The humans, in their spacecars, head back to Earth to prepare for Humanity’s move to soon-to-be-depopulated Venus.

Steven Murphy, a skilled cardiothoracic surgeon in Cincinnati, finishes an open heart surgery. He then goes to a diner, where he meets a young man, Martin Lang. Afterward, he returns home to his wife, Anna, and their children, daughter Kimberly (Kim) and younger son Robert (Bob). Anna and Steven have sex, with Anna pretending to be under general anesthesia. Martin comes to the Murphy household for dinner; Kim seems fairly taken with him. Steven later tells Anna that Martin's father died in a car accident ten years ago, and that he has taken an interest in Martin to help him deal with his grief.
Martin returns the favor by inviting Steven to his mother's home for dinner. After the meal, Steven tries to leave, but Martin insists he watch a movie with them. Martin leaves halfway through, and his mother makes a romantic advance on Steven by complimenting his hands and then kissing them. Steven quickly rebuffs her and goes home. Over the next few days, Martin's demands on Steven's time grow increasingly frequent and desperate, but Steven does not respond. One morning, Bob wakes up and finds he cannot feel his legs; he has become paralyzed. Steven and Anna rush him to the hospital, where an examination reveals that nothing is physically wrong.
The next morning, Martin meets Steven and reveals the truth: his father did not die in the crash, but during the surgery that Steven performed after the accident. Martin explains that, to "balance" his father's death, Steven must kill a member of his own family. If he does not, Anna, Kim, and Bob will die after three stages: paralysis, self-imposed starvation, and bleeding from the eyes. Steven attempts to dismiss these claims but later finds that Bob is refusing food. Meanwhile, Martin visits Kim at the Murphys' house. She tells him that she loves him and undresses, but Martin says he has to go home and leaves. Soon after, Kim collapses during a choir rehearsal at school, her legs numb, and she becomes unwilling to eat.
Martin calls Kim at the hospital. During the conversation, she regains use of her legs, only to lose mobility again when the connection is broken. This convinces Anna that Martin has the power to follow through on his threats. She visits Martin to ask why she and her children must suffer for Steven's mistakes. Martin claims that this is the closest thing there is to justice in his view. Anna, suspecting that her formerly alcoholic husband might have been drinking on the day of the operation, speaks to Steven's anesthesiologist, Matthew. She asks about the surgery in which Martin's father died, pressing him for Martin's father's medical records. Matthew will not give her the file, but in exchange for Anna giving him a handjob, he reveals that Steven made an error and ingested two drinks before the surgery.
After all tests are exhausted, the hospital is still at a loss for a solution. Anna insists that the children be taken home, where they are tube-fed. Steven then kidnaps Martin, ties him up in his basement, brutally beats him, and demands that he reverse Kim's and Bob's condition. Martin warns Steven that time is running out.
Kim and Bob argue over whom their father will choose. Anna tells Steven that killing one of the children is the best option because they can have another one. Steven meets with his children's school principal and asks which of them is "best", but the principal has no answer. Kim drags herself to the basement and attempts to persuade Martin to heal her legs again so they may elope together. When unsuccessful, she attempts to save herself by crawling through the neighborhood, where Steven and Anna eventually retrieve her. As Steven disinfects her wounds, Kim tells him how much she loves her parents and her brother and volunteers to die. Later that night, Steven stares thoughtfully at his sleeping wife.
The next day, Anna releases Martin. Bob begins bleeding from the eyes, causing all to panic. Rather than choose, Steven binds Kim, Bob, and Anna with duct tape, covers their heads, and pulls a woolen hat over his own face. He loads a rifle, spins in circles, and fires recklessly. The first two shots miss, but the third kills Bob.
Some time later, the family visits the diner where Steven met with Martin; Kim has fully recovered. Martin enters and stares at them; he and the family briefly lock eyes. As the Murphys leave, Martin gazes after them, and Kim turns to look back at him.

A recently widowed Englishwoman, Mary Panton (Kristin Scott Thomas), is staying at the villa of some wealthy friends outside of Florence, Italy in 1938. After meeting her old friend Sir Edgar Swift (James Fox) at a party celebrating the Munich Agreement, she is surprised when he proposes marriage to her the next day. She asks for a few days to think the proposal over, and he agrees to meet with her on his return from Rome.
That evening, at a party hosted by her friend, the Princess San Ferdinando (Anne Bancroft), she meets a married American man named Rowley Flint (Sean Penn), who has a reputation for being a rogue. A violinist (Jeremy Davies) arrives to entertain the guests but is so terrible that the Princess has him removed. Out of sympathy Mary leaves him a large tip. Rowley drives Mary home, but on the way stops at a small church, where she confesses that her husband was an abusive alcoholic who died in a car crash, leaving her destitute. Rowley tries to kiss her but Mary slaps him and drives away. She is so flustered that she almost collides with a young man in the road, who turns out to be the violinist from the restaurant. Seeing that he is poor and hungry, she invites him up to the house for a meal. He tells her that his name is Karl Richter and that he is a refugee from Austria, where he was persecuted for resisting the Nazi government. When the young man declares how beautiful Mary is, she has sex with him out of sympathy. He leaves the next morning.
That same day Mary is summoned to a meeting between the English expatriates and the city authorities, where the local Fascist administrator, Beppino Leopardi (Massimo Ghini), informs them that they will have to register with the police to continue living in Italy. Later that night, she is shocked when Karl appears in her bedroom, declaring that he loves her and wants to be with her. When she explains that she only slept with him out of "pity", he is enraged and attacks her. She grabs a gun given to her by Sir Edgar Swift, but Karl swipes the gun and aims it at her. At the last second, however, he shoots himself. In a blind panic and aware of the serious scandal that could result, Mary calls Rowley and pleads with him to assist her. He arrives and the two transfer the body to the woods down the road, where Rowley plants an unregistered gun of his so that the suicide cannot be traced back to Mary. He keeps Sir Edgar Swift's gun on him.
The next day the two appear to have escaped being connected with the suicide, until Leopardi arrives at Mary's. He announces that the Florence police have arrested Rowley for possessing a handgun belonging to Sir Edgar Swift which was not registered when he entered Italy. Aware that Rowley could be imprisoned and Edgar implicated, Mary seeks out the Princess. She gets the Princess drunk and coaxes her into admitting that she had once blackmailed Leopardi by sending him financial documents showing him to have embezzled money. Mary heads straight for the Princess' home, where she manages to steal the documents on the pretense of delivering flowers.
Mary goes to Leopardi's office and blackmails him with the documents to release Rowley. He is enraged but eventually submits to her demands so that she is able to take a wounded Rowley home. Although she admits to having feelings for Rowley, the two agree that he could not be faithful to her and they part. Later that evening Mary meets with Edgar, where she confesses everything that had occurred over the past few days. He is surprisingly understanding and says that he still wishes to marry her, but that he will have to give up the Viceroyship of India for fear of the story ever getting out and causing a scandal. Mary does not want to ruin his career, and ultimately admits that she does not love him and will not marry him. After he leaves Mary packs her bags to return to London. The Princess arrives at the villa, and tells Mary that she is a fool for rejecting the wealthy and powerful Swift because of her attraction to Rowley.
At the terminal the next day, Mary boards the train alone and is surprised when Rowley joins her in the car. He tells her that he is going to Paris, and the two agree to go together, indicating that they are both going to give the relationship a try.
