In 1891, a couple visit a spiritualist named Madame Addison at 3:00 AM—the so-called witching hour—in order to try to find their lost daughter. Due to demonic intervention, all five people in the house die that night.
Present day, John, whose wife has recently passed, purchases the same house, having no knowledge of the deaths that occurred there more than a century earlier. He is joined by his elder daughter, Izzy, and his two younger children, Victoria and Aiden.
One day, while playing hide-and-seek, Victoria and Aiden come across a chest in the attic containing pictures, an old camera, an old doll, and an old pocket watch. Victoria becomes attached to the doll, saying it reminds her of her mother, while Aiden becomes attached to the old camera.
John becomes concerned, but at the same time finds himself becoming attached to the pocket watch. His concern grows when Victoria faints, and grows further when he has a dream in which he brutally murders Aiden in his sleep. When he questions the realtor, however, she claims to know nothing about the house's history. Meanwhile, his elder daughter, Izzy, remains aloof, caring more about spending time with her boyfriend than being an active member of the family.
One day, in the attic, John sees a girl—the daughter of the couple in 1891. John thinks it's just some girl who has wandered into their house, but she tells him to "burn them," referring to the contents of the chest, before disappearing. John takes the items that had been in the chest away from the kids and places them in a cardboard box at the end of his sidewalk, but the items reappear in the house.
One night, at 3:00 AM, the younger kids, now fully possessed, beat their father nearly to death. When Izzy comes home, she finds her father, on the cusp of death; he tells her to "burn the chest." Izzy goes to John's room, collects the items, takes them to the back yard, and burns them. Unfortunately, it is too late. The ghost of Madame Addison kills John. Izzy and the children (now released from the power of Madame Addison) go back into the house and call 911. The call is disconnected and the lights go out. Madame Addison reappears; killing Izzy, Victoria, and Aiden off screen.
The film ends with the house being sold to another family by Claire, who remarks that they are right on time, 3:00.
In 1964, Ip Man is diagnosed with throat cancer due to his history of chronic smoking. After his rebellious son Ip Ching fights back against a bully and is subsequently expelled from school, Ip Man decides to travel to San Francisco in order to look for study opportunities. After Ching and his father get into a heated argument that ends with the older Ip slapping his son, he decides to entrust Ching to his friend, Fat Bo.
Ip arrives in San Francisco, where his student Bruce Lee has upset the local martial arts community by opening a kung fu school, teaching non-Chinese people martial arts, and writing an English-language book on martial arts. He discovers from his reporter friend Liang Gen that, because he is a foreigner, a referral letter from the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association is needed to enroll Ching into an American school. CBA chairman Wan Zhoungwa refuses to write the letter as Ip is unbothered by Lee's actions, whereas the other grandmasters display open contempt.
While leaving the school after a meeting with the principal, Ip sees upon Wan's teenage daughter, Yonah, undergoing a racist attack from a rival cheerleader, Becky, and her male friends. Ip steps in to rescue her and escorts Yonah home, where Wan is upset that she got into a fight. Ip steps in by telling Wan that Yonah wasn't wrong to defend herself. Wan then explains to Ip that, because he's a foreigner, he doesn't understand that the whites in his country love harassing Chinese. Just before Ip leaves, Wan blames him for using his daughter merely to get the letter and challenges him to a fight for it. The duel is interrupted by an earthquake, and Wan tells Ip they will finish it at the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. Ip refuses, explaining that he merely accompanied Yonah home for her own safety, and leaves.
Meanwhile, Becky lies to her parents, claiming that Yonah attacked her. Her father, Andrew Walters, an officer of the INS, is pressured by his wife into holding the Association responsible and deporting all illegal immigrants associated with them. Elsewhere, Hartman Wu, a Staff Sergeant in the United States Marines and student of Lee, attempts to convince Barton Geddes, the Gunnery Sergeant on his base, to incorporate Chinese martial arts into their hand-to-hand combat training, especially Wing Chun, which is useful in close quarters. Geddes, an open racist, seemingly proves the Marines' current karate program superior by having Hartman fight the Marines' karate instructor, Colin Frater, with Colin easily beating Hartman.
However, Hartman manages to convince the unit's commanding officer of kung fu's potential use, and is permitted to film the Mid-Autumn Festival happening at Chinatown for research purposes, infuriating Geddes, who instructs Frater to challenge the grandmasters at the festival. Frater easily defeats 3 of the grandmasters before Ip intervenes and beats him badly. Meanwhile, Wan, who was supposed to be present at the festival, is arrested by the INS. Upon seeing Frater in the hospital, Geddes barges into the CBA, and uses his strength and karate prowess to brutally defeat all the grandmasters present. He then threatens Walters into releasing Wan into Marine custody before bringing Wan into the camp to fight him. Due to a tip-off by a subordinate of Walters and another student of Lee, Ip and Gen help the Association evacuate by the time the INS conducts its raid. Lee provides refuge for the Association, earning their respect.
Wan and Geddes arrive at the camp and fight. Wan is able to match Geddes at first, but is eventually overwhelmed and seriously injured. Wan is taken to the hospital, where an emotional Ip calls Fat Bo to reveal that he has cancer. Fat Bo angrily tells Ip Ching to talk to his father, after many previous refusals. The older Ip apologizes to his son for slapping him during their argument, and promises to teach his son kung fu when he returns. Hartman brings Ip to the Marines, and he ultimately defeats the Gunnery Sergeant after a long and savage fight.
Wan prepares the referral letter for Ip, but Ip turns it down, having decided against moving to America. Ip returns to Hong Kong and accepts the fact that Ching likes martial arts. A weary but determined Ip instructs his son to film him as he demonstrates Wing Chun on a wooden dummy.
An epilogue shows Lee paying respect to Ip at his funeral. Onscreen text states that Ip succumbed to his cancer in 1972 at the age of 79 and that the Marines officially incorporated Chinese martial arts into their training by inviting Chinese martial artists to come to the base starting in 2001.
The Kidd siblings travel to Beijing with Timothy Quinn, their father's boss at CIA to get a Ming dynasty vase from the treasure they uncovered in the Indian Ocean to free their mother from the pirates. They speak to the Chinese High Cultural minister who gives them a government sanctioned official parade. While going to their hotel, they see four Germans stealing a painting by Pablo Picasso titled ''Naked Woman on the Beach'', but they are unable to stop them.
Soon afterwards, they receive a menu for the Crystal Jade Palace, a Chinese restaurant from a passerby. Tommy remembers that their father had a favourite waiter in that restaurant named Liu Wei. They travel to the restaurant, where they meet Liu Wei who greets them and gives them fortune cookies as a parting gift. When they are leaving, the four Germans who stole the painting, realise they were watched by the Kidds and chase them. They go to their room and find out that their father had a safety deposit in China and gets the key to the locker from their fortune cookies. Timothy informs them that they can take the Ming vase if they find a way to unearth the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, which is protected by mercury making it impossible to reach the tomb without inhaling mercury and dying.
On their way to the hotel, Bick sees their father flapping his arms like a bird and disappears, but dismisses this as a hallucination. The Kidds are assigned a cultural attache Jin Xiang and discover that they cannot leave the room without security. They receive a video recorded by pirates from their mother, after which they start to get messages from their father. They manage to fool the guards and send them to the Chinese Pigeon race like their father said. They then go to collect the safety deposit and find Chinese paper foldings (zhezhi) of pigeons in it. In these foldings, they find a diagram of a machine called SCUBBA written using invisible ink. The machine is designed in such a way that it can unearth Qin Shi Huang's tomb without inhaling mercury. They also find a message from their father telling them to meet in the Forbidden City. However he is unable to meet them and sends them further clues through messages, telling them to go to Germany.
The Kidds go to Timothy, who takes them to the High Cultural minister. He gives the Kidds the Ming vase in exchange for the diagram. Timothy asks the Kidds to trust him, with Bella Kilgore, who had survived jumping into the Nile (in Danger Down the Nile), backing him. He takes them to Dionsyous Strecking, the boss of Aramis. Bella takes the Ming vase from the Kidds, promising to return it when time comes to give it to their mother's kidnappers. It is revealed that Timothy works for Dionysous, rather than the CIA. They are sent to Germany to find their father's treasure using Tommy's memory from their last visit when they were young.
They journey to their safe house in Munich where they find a painting by Marc Chagall. Dionsyous takes the painting to fill a museum owned by the Chinese cultural minister, who pays him in return. The Kidds manage to create a racket and succeed in getting a ticket to cinema, where they escape with the help of Petra Pichelsteiner, a German girl and takes her along with them. She reveals herself to be the daughter of their parent's friends. The Kidds call Timothy, who mocks them but unknownly gives them a clue. They go to a museum in Neuburg, where they find paintings hidden by the Nazis. Dionsyous arrives and takes the painting, however Petra calls the Interpol and they arrive. All his henchmen are arrested except Timothy and a man named Franz Hans. The Kidds see their ship, the Lost, in the Isar river with their parents in them. They are followed by Timothy in a speedboat and Dionsyous in a helicopter. Timothy falls into a strong current. The Kidds use a jet pack and strikes Dionysous's helicopter and falls. Timothy and Dionsyous are arrested. The Kidd family is reunited and sets sail for Russia to find the Amber room.
''Keep Walking, Rhona Beech'' is the witty but unsentimental story of a woman in her mid 30s watching her plans unravel. Just out of a nine-year relationship Rhona Beech embarks on a laugh (and cry) out-loud search for meaning amongst the bars, workplaces and NHS clinics of Glasgow. At once funny and tender, ''Keep Walking, Rhona Beech'' is a clear-sighted look at a generation of women that was told they could ‘have it all’.
An evil race of aliens called the Smurgliens has watched Earth for years. Through their observations, they deduce that the best humanity has to offer is its wifi, cat videos, metal music, and coffee. Two baristas from the Black Forge Coffee House, Nick and Ashley, take it upon themselves to confront the threat after their coffee shop is invaded.
The story centers around Rifai Al Disouqi (Wird Ikr), a well-known, well-loved man who owns an illegal weapon manufacturing workshop in a Cairo slum. Despite the wealth this brings him, he remains identified with the lower class. Rifai has inherited the factory from his father who established it and is carrying on his father's legacy and supporting his family. The central family consists of Rifai; his wife, Hanan; their two daughters; Rifai's mother, Fat'hiyya; his sister, Samah; and Nasser, his youngest brother. Rifai is also part of a group powerful elites who refer to themselves as the "Higher Power". Isam Al Nemr, the antagonist, is a competitor who runs a similar illegal weapons factory. He finds Rifai challenging and envies his power and position.
Throughout the series, it is made clear that if someone does not abide by the rules of the weapons trading industry, they will be killed. As the story progresses, Rifai decides not to follow an order given to him by the "Higher Power" and rebels against them. As a consequence of his decision, Rifai is gunned down by a rifle from a passing car.
Following the death of Rifai, the focus of the series shifts to his younger brother, Nasser. Unlike his brother, Nasser is an ambitious man who does not want to maintain the family legacy and instead wants to pursue a more stable, safe, and lucrative career. This ambition is furthered by the desire to marry the love of his life, Tamara, which would require he provide a more sophisticated lifestyle. Nasser decides to leave Egypt, moving to another Arab country and applying to work for the Legal Consultancy. Circumstances, however, were set against him and Nassar is forced to return home by his mother's health issues. Upon his return to Egypt, Nassar realizes that his life is getting more complicated and he should take the responsibility of facing one of the most prominent local families. Tamara, the woman Nassar want to marry, decides out of curiosity to visit his family's house to see the manner in which they live and be introduced to them as Nasser's girlfriend. Tamara is surprised to find that Nasser's social class is far beneath her own. This disappointment leads her to plot with her parents to reject Nasser's eventual marriage proposal.
After Nassar is rejected by Tamara's parents, his life quickly deteriorates in a series of devastating events including being imprisoned along with two of his uncles due to Rifai's illegal business. During Nasser's imprisonment, the women in his family pay him a visit and explain to him the cruelty and mistreatment they have faced since Isam took Rifai's death and Nasser's absence as an opportunity to seize power. This revelation inspires Nasser to follow his brother's path in joining the "Higher Power" in order to reclaim their family legacy and return respect and power to his family. He is bailed out by Salmawi; an ex-member of the elite group. Salmawi believes Nassar's unfortunate situation would be a good opportunity to collaborate with a member of the Disouqi family.
Even though Nasser did not originally want to follow his brother into the family business, he ends up being an even more powerful weapons' manufacturer than Rifai. Through the business he once spurned, Nasser is able to attain the sophisticated lifestyle he had always dreamt of. Fate, it seems, plays a role in the lives of both Tamara and Nasser, leading them back into each other's lives. At this point Nasser has completely moved on from their relationship, even marrying Tamara's husband's sister. Now as brother and sister-in-law, Nassar and Tamara live together under one roof, a nightmare for Tamara having rejected him earlier. Eventually, the money corrupts Nasser's morals, leading him to commit a series of murders which results in the death of his own mother. The series ends with Nasser turning himself into the police and confessing to his crimes. The closing scene of the entire series shows Nasser being sentenced to death.
After a family disgrace Isabel needs internment in a mental residence. Her nurse will be her confident, the link to her husband and the outside world.
Iden Versio is captured by the Rebel Alliance and interrogated for the codes to unlock an Imperial transmission aboard a Mon Calamari Star Cruiser. She activates her droid, Dio, which sneaks to her cell and frees her; Iden had allowed herself to be captured in order to erase the Imperial transmission, which would reveal the Emperor's plan to ambush the Rebels at Endor. She successfully erases it, then escapes the ship by launching herself into space, whereupon she is intercepted by the ''Corvus'', Inferno Squad's flagship. Aboard the ''Corvus'', Iden confirms the mission's success to fellow squad members Del Meeko and Gideon Hask.
Later on Endor, Inferno Squad secures the perimeter around the shield generator protecting the Death Star II, which was destroyed by a Rebel squad, and watches with shock and horror as the Death Star II explodes moments later. Vice Admiral Sloane orders a full retreat, and Inferno Squad escapes the moon aboard TIE fighters before it is overrun by Rebel forces. After destroying a squadron of Rebel starfighters around the Death Star II's ruins, Inferno Squad arrives on Admiral Garrick Versio's Star Destroyer, the ''Eviscerator'', where he informs Iden of the Emperor's death. A messenger droid then displays a hologram of the late Emperor issuing his last command: to initiate Operation: Cinder. Admiral Versio sends Iden and Hask to an Imperial shipyard over Fondor to protect Moff Raythe's Star Destroyer, the ''Dauntless'', which hosts experimental satellites vital to the success of Operation: Cinder. The ''Dauntless'' comes under attack from a Rebel Star Cruiser, but Iden and Hask manage to board it and destroy its ion cannons, before freeing the Star Destroyer, allowing it to open fire on the Cruiser and destroy it.
Meanwhile, Del arrives on Pillio to destroy one of the Emperor's hidden bases. He encounters Luke Skywalker, who helps him fend off the local wildlife and gain access to the base, discovering it contains the Emperor's spoils of conquest, one of which Luke claims for himself. The pair part amicably, as Del begins to question the Empire's goals and motives. Later, Inferno Squad is sent to Iden's homeworld, the Imperial-controlled planet Vardos, to retrieve Protectorate Gleb, just as Operation: Cinder is about to begin. After witnessing the satellites for Operation: Cinder slowly destroying Vardos with storms, Iden and Del, disillusioned by the Empire's actions, abort their mission to try to evacuate civilians, causing Hask to betray them. The pair return to the ''Corvus'' and make their escape, now traitors to the Empire. Seeking out the Rebel Alliance, they meet General Lando Calrissian, who gives them the choice of helping stop Operation: Cinder, or escaping to start new lives. Choosing to help, they aid Leia Organa in protecting Naboo, destroying the satellites for Operation: Cinder, and reactivating the planet's defenses. After Naboo is liberated, Inferno Squad joins the New Republic.
Months later, Inferno Squad – Iden, Del, and Shriv Suurgav – is sent to Takodana to find General Han Solo, who has gone missing during his mission to extract critical data from an Imperial defector that can help liberate Kashyyyk. After Solo and the defector make their way past a squad of stormtroopers and back to the ''Millennium Falcon'', Inferno Squad arrives to help them flee the planet. The recovered data reveals that Admiral Versio is commanding Imperial operations on both Bespin and Sullust. On Bespin, Iden and Del attempt to capture the Admiral, but are led into a trap by Hask. The pair escape, destroying a Star Destroyer fueling station in the process. On Sullust, Lando and Shriv investigate a hidden Imperial weapons cachet and find a weapons factory instead, which they destroy.
With both operations crippled, the Imperial fleet makes a last stand at Jakku. During the battle, Iden shoots down Hask and boards the ''Eviscerator'', intending to rescue her father. Admiral Versio decides to go down with his ship, feeling obligated to die with the Empire he fought to protect, and urges Iden to escape and live a new life, commending her for seeing the Empire's weaknesses. Iden takes an escape pod and reunites with Del and Shriv. Iden and Del embrace and kiss, as the battle marks the end of the Galactic Empire.
Three decades later, Del is captured on Pillio by Protectorate Gleb, who hands him over to Kylo Ren and the First Order. Ren uses the Force to interrogate Del about the location of the map leading to Luke Skywalker, before leaving him to Hask, who expresses disgust at Del choosing to father a daughter with Iden instead of becoming a soldier and kills him. Hask then tells Gleb that the New Republic cannot find out about "Project Resurrection" and orders her to leave the ''Corvus'' on Pillio as bait to lure Iden out of hiding.
Shriv Suurgav, now an agent for the Resistance, discovers the abandoned ''Corvus'' and informs Iden and her daughter Zay, revealing that Del had been helping the Resistance investigate rumors of mass disappearances that may be connected to Project Resurrection. They head to Athulla, where Del was last seen, and are ambushed by a Jinata Security fleet, which they destroy. The survivors admit that they had been kidnapping children on the behalf of the First Order and that Project Resurrection had been moved to Vardos.
On Vardos, Iden and Shriv investigate, leaving Zay on the ''Corvus'', and are captured by Hask, who reveals that he killed Gleb and Del and that the First Order has used Starkiller Base to destroy the Hosnian system, effectively wiping out the New Republic. He then orders his Star Destroyer, the ''Retribution'', to destroy the ''Corvus'', though Zay survives by taking an escape pod. Iden and Shriv escape after the Jinata Security, angry at the First Order for betraying them, attack Hask's men, and make their way to Zay. Deciding to help the Resistance, the trio use stolen TIE fighters to board the ''Retribution'', whereupon they search the ship for information on Project Resurrection, eventually discovering that it involves the First Order kidnapping children and indoctrinating them to become stormtroopers. They also learn that First Order has built up a massive fleet large enough to retake the galaxy, and steal the plans of a First Order Dreadnought.
While Shriv goes to look for a ship to escape with, Iden and Zay destroy the ''Retribution'''s hyperspace generators, causing it to pull out of hyperspace near Starkiller Base, just as the Resistance destroys it. Hask ambushes them and shoots Iden before she throws him to his death. Iden then succumbs to her injury, not before ordering Zay to escape with the Dreadnought plans and without her. Zay reunites with Shriv and the pair escape the ''Retribution'', before linking up with the Resistance. They transmit the plans to Leia Organa, who orders them to head to the Outer Rim to gather more allies.
In the year 1963, Henry Stein, co-founder and former animator at Joey Drew Studios is invited back to the studio by his former friend and business partner, Joey Drew. Not much is known about Henry's visit to the studio, but what is known is that he was promptly killed and sacrificed to the Ink Machine by Joey, therefore ending up in the cartoon world and beginning his never-ending loop. Henry wakes up in a cartoon version of the studio and finds it abandoned and dirtied up with ink splotches everywhere, as well as a mutilated, anthropomorphic figure in the form of Boris the Wolf, one of the studio's characters. Henry discovers that the messy ink was caused by the Ink Machine, which was installed sometime after Henry left. Henry goes to fix and turn on the machine by collecting various objects in a ritualistic fashion. After turning the machine on, Henry goes back to the machine but is attacked by an ink creature known as Ink Bendy, who closely resembles the studio's mascot, Bendy the Dancing Demon, a character made by Henry but stolen by Joey, presumably leading to his departure. Henry tries to escape as the studio fills with ink. As Henry reaches the door, the floor under him gives way and he falls into the ink-filled lower levels. After draining the ink, Henry finds a room with coffins and a strange diagram on the floor. When he steps on it, he sees a vision of the Ink Machine, a wheelchair, and Ink Bendy, before passing out.
Henry wakes up and searches for a way out. He eventually comes to the music department and discovers an exit at the bottom of some stairs, but the stairs are flooded and blocking the door. After battling ink creatures known as Searchers, Henry finds music director Sammy Lawrence's office and finds a pump switch inside that could drain the ink at the stairs, but his office is blocked by a massive ink leak. Henry finds two valves that lower the ink pressure, one in Sammy's sanctuary and one in the infirmary, being held hostage by the studio's lyricist Jack Fain, who has been turned into a Swollen Searcher. After stopping the leak, Henry drains the ink at the stairs. While approaching the stairs however, he is knocked out by an ink corrupted Sammy. After waking up, Sammy reveals he intends to sacrifice Henry to Ink Bendy, whom he worships as a deity, so that he can be free of the ink. As Sammy begins the sacrifice ritual, he is attacked by Ink Bendy and presumably killed. Henry breaks free and tries to escape, but is confronted by Ink Bendy. After a chase, Henry locks himself in a storage room. Venturing into the room, he realizes there is someone in the room and tells them to show themselves. Henry becomes shocked when the figure reveals himself as a fully intact Boris the Wolf.
Henry befriends Boris, and the two leave Boris' safehouse to find another way out of the studio. They come across the toy department and find a back room full of merchandise for Alice Angel, the studio's lead female; she is believed to actually be voice actress Susie Campbell, formed into a humanoid being by Joey's experiments. Henry is then confronted by a twisted design of Alice Angel and she summons him to Level 9 of the studio. Henry and Boris reach Level 9, but are attacked by the Piper, a member of the Butcher Gang, minor antagonists of the cartoons. Inside Twisted Alice's lair, Henry and Boris discover multiple mutilated clones of Boris and the Butcher Gang. Henry finds Twisted Alice torturing a Piper and she orders him to fetch some items for her, in exchange for being allowed to escape the studio; he recovers things such as gears, power cells and globs of ink from Swollen Searchers. Henry must fulfill Twisted Alice's tasks, all the while being hunted by Ink Bendy, Searchers, the Butcher Gang, and the Projectionist, an ink corrupted version of Norman Polk, the studio's projectionist. After fulfilling her needs, she sends him to the elevator where he can leave, but forces the elevator to fall after discovering Boris, who she wants as he is the most perfect Boris. The elevator crashes on Level S. Boris wakes Henry up, and he is forced to watch as Twisted Alice drags Boris away.
Waking back up from passing out, Henry leaves the broken lift and explores the cavernous archives of the studio to find and rescue Boris. After Alice taunts Henry about Boris' capture, Henry comes across a lounge filled with Lost Ones, people infected by the ink who show no hostility. After fleeing through the vents, Henry discovers that Joey planned to open a Bendy-themed amusement park called Bendy Land, with the help of famed amusement park designer Bertrum Piedmont. Henry deduces that the haunted house attraction is the way to go and traverses the storage area to find the switches to power the ride up. He activates the four power switches, while in the process sneaking past the Butcher Gang, defeating an ink corrupted Bertrum, who has merged himself with an octopus ride, and escaping from the Projectionist, who is decapitated by Ink Bendy. Once on the haunted house ride, Henry is shocked to discover that Alice has transformed Boris into a brute monster. After a grueling struggle, Henry is forced to kill Boris, who fades away. An enraged Twisted Alice tries to attack Henry herself, but is killed from behind by another version of Alice Angel and a robot-handed clone of Boris.
The new characters, Allison Angel and Tom, lock Henry in a makeshift prison; they are believed to be the reincarnated forms of Allison Pendle, Alice's new voice actress and the successor to the envious Susie, as well as Thomas Conner, the lead engineer of the Ink Machine. Henry manages to gain Allison’s trust, while Tom remains hesitant towards him. Allison gives Henry a Seeing Tool, which is used to see hidden messages, and Henry sees a message that says Allison will leave Henry for dead. Later, Ink Bendy discovers Allison and Tom's location, and Tom convinces Allison to leave Henry behind so they can escape. Henry manages to escape the prison after discovering a secret room with a weapon behind the wall, thanks to the hidden messages (hinted to be created by him in his continuous loops around the studio). Once he escapes, Henry rides on a barge through a river of ink, with a massive Bendy hand chasing behind him. Henry arrives in a shanty town built by the Searchers and the Lost Ones. There, he is confronted by the forsaken Sammy, who believes Henry is Ink Bendy and tries to take revenge for almost killing him. Sammy gets unmasked by Henry, but Sammy overpowers Henry and tries to kill him, but Sammy is killed by Tom, who equips Henry with an axe. With Sammy out of the way, the Searchers and Lost Ones he was keeping at bay become violent and start attacking. Henry, Allison and Tom work together and defeat the wave of monsters. Henry leads the way onward, but falls into the administration offices on a lower level. Henry tries to escape through the film vault, but the entrance is flooded. Henry works to reconnect the pipe system to drain the ink, by hiding from the Butcher Gang. Once in the film vault, a message reveals that a film reel has been stolen by Ink Bendy. Allison and Tom arrive and join Henry on his quest to find Ink Bendy. They discover that Ink Bendy's lair is a massive version of the Ink Machine. Henry is forced to go in alone, as the entrance is surrounded by ink, which could reabsorb and kill Allison and Tom. Inside, Henry finds a message from Joey, who talks about his downfall and how Henry can fix the darkness by showing Ink Bendy the stolen reel, titled "The End". The Ink Machine was used in a combination of occult magic and technological alchemy to create real-life mascots for Bendy Land, but Ink Bendy was abandoned in the depths of the studio, as unlike the other creations which are made from the souls of the staff, he was made from scratch and soulless as a result, locked away in a prison-like throne room filled with cartoons in a vain attempt to imprint the desired traits onto him. Ink Bendy arrives and transforms into a massive monster, known as Beast Bendy, knocking Henry into another room and giving chase. Henry escapes Bendy and returns to his throne to play "The End" reel, which broadcasts the words "The End" on several screens, causing Bendy to dissolve as his story comes to a close.
In a flashback, Henry arrives at Joey's house, who talks about how the two went on different paths, and how Joey's path burned because of his ambition. He summons Henry to the studio and the events of the beginning of the game play again.
In a post-credit scene, the camera zooms in on a signed picture from Henry of Bendy, Boris and Alice Angel. Offscreen, a young girl asks her "Uncle Joey" to tell her another story.

After attacking Mutsumi headquarters with a tank, Takashi and his rescued wife Mariko hide out with Mr. Shao in Chinatown while Hideshi continues to seek out Takeshi. Hideshi finds Takeshi working in an alligator costume selling balloons. Rie wanted him to get a legitimate job and they are staying at a church down the road from where she grew up in a geisha house run by her father. Rie spends her time caring for a friend from high school who has been hospitalized since being injured in an automobile accident while Rie was driving. Rie's mother died and she does not get along with her step-mother Chiharu Ishibashi, who runs the geisha house alone now that Rie's father has also died. Chiharu feels that Rie blames her for her father's death so she angrily sells information about her daughter-in-law's location to Kenmochi's men for 20 million yen.
Takeshi visits his mother Haruko in the care home, where she calls him Iwaida in confusion and reveals that she became pregnant with Iwaida's son and chose to raise him as Takeshi. Hideshi confirms this story when Takeshi visits him but wonders why Mr. Nishiwaki would choose to have Takeshi kill Iwaida if he knew that Iwaida was Takeshi's father. Kenmochi's men arrive at the church but Chiharu has a change of heart and jumps between them and Rie, subsequently dying from gunshot wounds. Hideshi grabs Rie while Takeshi quickly shoots all of Kenmochi's men.
Hideshi returns home to his wife and daughter Natsumi in Yokohama. Officer Shiraki from the Yamashita Police Department visits Hideshi and tells him that Yamaguchi from the Hyogo Police Department wants his help solving the Iwaida murder in Kyoto. Shiraki knows that the hitman is Lightning Takeshi, that is to say Takeshi Miwa, Hideshi's younger brother, and has been told by Yamaguchi to keep an eye on the Miwa house. He also wants to find Hideshi's other brother Takashi because of the murder of Kenmochi's man when they rescued Mariko. Hideshi pays off the cop and tells him to release the pastor they've been questioning from the church shooting. He sends Shiraki to investigate Kenmochi, the acting head of the Mutsumi Group, and his involvement with the incident.
Hideshi moves Takeshi and Rie to a dojo but Takeshi does not trust Mr. Maki, the head of the dojo. Hideshi's secretary Tono explains that Mr. Maki took Hideshi in and mentored him after he killed the man who killed his father. As he learned karate from Mr. Maki his heart was slowly healed.
Tono accompanies Hideshi, his wife, and his daughter Nastumi on a boat ride where they are attacked by three men on personal watercraft. The men circle the boat and shoot their guns into it but do not kill anyone. Hisako offers herself to Hideshi once again in a move to combine forces in order to gain influence with Mr. Nishiwaki and push Omaeda out of power but Hideshi rejects her again. Hideshi is informed by Shiraki that Kenmochi is trying to blackmail Nishiwaki using information that Iwaidi knew which led to his killing. Haruko commits suicide and the three brothers go to her wake together. They honor her last wish to have them bring her ashes back to the family home. Several armed men attack the home and end up killing Takashi. Mariko grieves heavily.
Hideshi asks Hisako to get the information from Omaeda. She has one of her dominatrices torture Omaeda until he passes out but he does not speak so they inject him with drugs to get him to talk. He admits that Nishiwaki sold information about the underworld to GHQ during the six years that the occupation forces remained in Japan after the war and it was only through this connection that he could amass his fortune and gain as much influence as he did. GHQ disappeared along with any documents about these activities so only Nishiwaki's henchman Omaeda, Iwaida, and Iwaida's lover Haruko knew about Nishiwaki's actions after the war that would cause him to lose power in the underworld if they were exposed.
Hideshi calls Nishiwaki and asks him to go with him to the Philippines to carry out the deal for the counterfeit money. In Manila Nishiwaki has the brothers attacked by a shooter from a helicopter and armed guerrillas on the beach. Nishiwaki offers Hisako the Number 2 position but she reveals that she has higher ambitions as Hideshi and Takeshi arrive to kill Nishiwaki.

Spanish businessman Adrián Doria is out on bail after being arrested for the murder of his lover, Laura Vidal. His lawyer, Félix Leiva, hires prestigious defense attorney Virginia G, who visits him at his apartment with the news that the prosecutor has found a witness who will be testifying in front of a judge soon; they have three hours to come up with a defense so Virginia urges her client to tell her the whole truth.
Adrián tells Virginia how he and Laura ended their affair months ago but received a call blackmailing them to come to a rural hotel with €100,000. At the hotel, Adrián was knocked unconscious and awoke to find Laura dead in the bathroom. With the door and the windows locked from inside the police found Adrián to be the only suspect.
Adrián then narrates further back, how he claimed to be in Paris but was really in a cabin with Laura. As they drive back to Barcelona, Adrián swerves to avoid a deer, clipping another car, which hits a tree. Although they are unhurt, the driver of the other car, a bank employee named Daniel Garrido, 23, is killed. Laura rationalizes that it is not entirely their fault since Daniel was texting and not wearing his seat belt. When another car approaches, Laura pushes Daniel's body down across the passenger's seat, and she and Adrián pretend to exchange insurance information. She pretends to answer Daniel's phone when it rings to continue the ruse, and the other driver leaves, convinced. Laura waits for a tow truck in Adrián's car, which will not start, while Adrián dumps Daniel's car in a lake with his body in the trunk.
Later on, Laura, upset, picks up Adrián in the vicinity of the lake and tells him how his car was repaired. An automotive engineer, Tomás, drove by and offered to help Laura, who claimed she'd hit a deer. He towed Adrian's car to his (Tomás's) house to fix it. While talking to Tomás's wife, Elvira, Laura saw some family photographs and realized Daniel Garrido was their son. When Laura was about to leave and got into Adrian's car, she adjusted the driver's seat arousing Tomás's suspicion as to the identity of the driver. After Adrián sells his car and reports it stolen, he parts ways with Laura, hopefully for good.
Within a few days, Adrián is summoned to the police station, as Tomás has reported his plate number to the police. Félix arranges for a false alibi for Adrián in Paris, and bribes the police to remove Adrián's name from the Garrido case file. When the news report that Daniel is on the run after embezzling money from the bank, Adrián confronts Laura, who admits that she took Daniel's wallet when they put his body in the trunk, and later hacked into Daniel's account and stole the money. Adrián tells her that what she did is wrong, but Laura threatens to frame him too.
Adrián is named European Businessman of the Year, and Tomás poses as a reporter during the ceremony to confront him. Tomás notices that Adrián pulls out the same cigarette lighter he saw when fixing the car. He begs Adrián to tell him where his son's body is in order to bury him as security removes Tomás. Days later, Adrián receives a photo of a lake with instructions to take Laura to the rural hotel with €100,000. Adrián thinks the blackmailer may be the driver they saw driving by just after the accident, if he followed Adrián as he dumped the car into the lake.
Back in the present, Virginia suggests that, in order to save himself, Adrián could claim he saw the face of the man who hit him in the rural hotel room and that the attacker was Tomás. Adrián then reveals he has always known it was Tomás, as he ''did'' see his face, but he didn't say it because he was testing Virginia.
Virginia suggests planting an item belonging to Laura in the trunk of Daniel's car (with Daniel's body in it), and claiming she acted alone. Adrián then confesses that as he was pushing the car into the lake, Daniel woke up, as he was only unconscious; an autopsy would reveal he drowned. Virginia is visibly shocked, yet she states she will not reveal this to the judge.
Virginia says Laura's medical records show she was suffering from anxiety, likely from a guilty conscience, and suggests Adrián is lying to make it seem like Laura was the mastermind behind their deceit. However, Virginia says she believes Tomás framed him because Elvira (Tomás's wife) works at the rural hotel where Laura's body was found, and that's why the Garridos chose that place for the rendezvous: Elvira could have easily unlocked the window for her husband to escape after killing Laura, and later locked the window, making it seem like nobody else came in. Virginia says Tomás has been stalking him (Adrián), Félix and even herself, and points to an apartment across the street, where Tomás is lurking. She continues to push Adrián, who finally admits that he killed Laura and staged the scene.
Félix phones and leaves a message on Adrián's home voicemail, urging him to call back as he was unable to reach him on his cellphone. Virginia suggests he return Félix's call as they take a quick 10-minute break. She exits the apartment with great urgency. Adrián meanwhile turns on his cellphone and calls Félix: Félix again says to Adrián that he could not get a hold of him and informs him that the prosecution's witness is indeed the other driver, but his silence was successfully bought. As Félix questions how the meeting with Virginia is going, the call is getting disturbed with high pitched tones, Adrián then realizes that their entire conversation is being recorded. He recalls Virginia turning off his phone previously, most probably so the cellphone signal would not disrupt the recording. He looks into the apartment across the street and sees Tomás standing next to Virginia, who reveals herself to be Elvira Garrido in disguise. Using the confession Elvira coerced from Adrián, Tomás calls the police as the real Virginia Goodman arrives at Adrián's apartment.
The story takes place in between the events of ''SteamWorld Dig'' and ''SteamWorld Heist''. Following Rusty's disappearance at the end of ''SteamWorld Dig'', Dorothy, a robot who he had befriended, travels to the mining town of El Machino in order to search for him. Along the way, she comes across Fen, a remnant of the Vectron that Rusty had previously fought, who joins Dorothy as a navigator. While searching the mines for Rusty while also hearing rumors of him turning into a monstrous machine, Dorothy comes across a group of devolved humans, addicted to the drug moon juice. The humans are led by Rosie, who instead of becoming addicted to moon juice took to lifting weights at a young age and who is much smarter than the other humans, called shiners.
Rosie claims that mysterious machines are triggering earthquakes. Dorothy goes to destroy these machines, only to discover that Rosie had lied to her. In actuality, the machines were built by Rusty to prevent Rosie from harnessing the power of a fusion distillery in order to create more of the addictive substance known as moon juice in order to control the remaining humans. Dorothy manages to defeat Rosie and rescue Rusty, only for the distillery to become unstable, prompting Fen to stay behind while she warps the two to safety, allowing them to escape on a rocket with the other El Machino residents before the planet explodes. As the robots explore space in order to set up a new civilization, Dorothy remains hopeful that she will one day be reunited with Fen.

In the American West in 1851, gunfighters Eli and Charlie Sisters are hired by the wealthy "Commodore" to kill a man named Hermann Warm.
John Morris, a private detective, has been hired by the Commodore to track Warm down and hand him over to the Sisters brothers. Morris finds Warm traveling by wagon train to California with the Gold Rush and befriends him. They travel to Jacksonville where Morris has arranged his rendezvous with the Sisters brothers. Warm finds Morris’ handcuffs, realizes his true intentions, and threatens him at gunpoint but Morris overpowers him. Warm reveals that he plans to find gold using a chemical formula of his own invention; the Sisters brothers have been sent to retrieve the formula, most likely by torturing Warm before killing him. Refusing to allow an innocent man’s murder, Morris frees Warm and the two leave Jacksonville. On the road toward San Francisco, Warm reveals that his ultimate plan is to create a utopian society in Dallas, Texas.
The brothers' pursuit is plagued by misfortune. A grizzly bear attacks their camp and mauls Eli's horse, Eli almost dies from a venomous spider bite and Charlie is repeatedly drunk and too hung over to ride. When they discover Morris' betrayal in Jacksonville, they follow the pair to Mayfield. At Ms. Mayfield's hotel and brothel, she denies having seen Warm and Morris but offers the brothers a warm welcome. A sympathetic prostitute warns Eli of an impending attack and he attempts to leave with a drunken Charlie but they are cornered by Mayfield's gunslingers. The brothers kill the gunslingers and interrogate Mayfield as to Warm's and Morris’ whereabouts, before murdering and robbing her.
In San Francisco, Charlie and Eli argue about continuing their hunt. Eli wishes to retire and open a store, but Charlie angrily rejects this idea. The next day, Charlie reveals that he has found a claim staked in Morris’ name a few days' ride away. Eli agrees to complete the hunt as their final job.
On the way to the claim site, the brothers are ambushed and captured by Warm and Morris, who are then attacked by Mayfield's men sent before her death to claim the formula for herself. The four team up to kill Mayfield's men, after which Charlie and Eli agree to help Warm and Morris find gold in exchange for half the takings. Morris is revealed to be a wealthy young man from Washington DC, who came west in rebellion against his father, now dead, and to whom Warm's Dallas phalanstère project has at last given a purpose in life. Working to dam the river, the new partners develop a camaraderie. Eli reveals to Warm that Charlie killed their abusive, alcoholic father when they were young, and that Charlie's short temper and violent tendencies put him in danger, so Eli reluctantly took up their present employment to protect him.
The dam is completed and Warm explains that when his chemical formula is added to water, it causes gold ore to glow briefly, but is extremely caustic. The men pour the formula into the river and begin gathering the gold. When the glow begins to fade, Charlie panics and tries to add more formula, but spills the undiluted substance onto his hand and into the river. Morris, rushing to restrain Charlie, stumbles and is submerged in the contaminated water while Warm, ignoring Eli's warnings, jumps in to rescue him. The next day, Warm, blinded and badly burned, succumbs to his injuries and dies, while Morris shoots and kills himself in order to end his suffering.
Eli takes Charlie to the nearest town, where a doctor amputates his arm. Hired guns sent by the Commodore arrive and demand their surrender. Eli shoots them and he and Charlie decide they must kill the Commodore. They arrive in Oregon City to find that he has already died. The brothers' are the only mourners at the Commodore's open casket; Eli punches the corpse several times "just to make sure". The brothers return home to their mother; though initially suspicious, she welcomes them in.
Sometime after a zombie-like infection decimates the world's population, Ann (Lucy Walters) struggles to survive in the woods. There are few resources and she is forced to live off the land, as abandoned houses attract dangerous, infected corpses. Throughout, Ann clings to the hope of civilization, listening to a crank radio that broadcasts an emergency message in French, a language she does not understand, and other reminders of her past life.
That past life includes her husband, Jason (Shane West), and child, an infant daughter. They are gone, and the movie explains their fate through a series of flashbacks.
On her way back from getting food from a nearby home, Ann comes across an injured man, Chris (Adam David Thompson), and his teenage stepdaughter, Olivia (Gina Piersanti). She helps them, nursing Chris back to health, but finds it difficult to trust him or Olivia.
A short time later, Chris and Olivia are about to leave when a storm rolls in; Ann allows them to stay a little while longer. Time passes and Chris and Ann form a romantic relationship, much to Olivia's irritation.
It is revealed later on that after leaving to find supplies for Ann and their daughter during the night, Jason was attacked and killed by the infected, leaving Ann to protect their child. One day, when she leaves to find food, she kills one of the infected; unknown to Ann, blood splatters onto her coat. She returns to find her daughter crying but unharmed. When Ann comforts her, the blood from her coat accidentally gets in her daughter's mouth.
Ann's daughter develops circular rashes on her belly, a telltale sign of infection. Left with no other options, Ann grinds up a bottle of aspirin, mixes it with baby formula, including droplets of her own blood, and feeds it to her daughter.
Ann decides to go North with Chris and Olivia. To do this, they must gather food from the house Ann has regularly searched so that they're able to make the journey; while Chris distracts the infected gathered in the yard, Ann and Olivia sneak into the house and start searching for food. While Ann is distracted, Olivia knocks her out, ties her up, screams, then takes the food and runs back to camp. Ann escapes, then finds Olivia and Chris under attack by the infected that Olivia drew with her scream.
Only Olivia and Ann have survived. In the car, driving down the road, Olivia rests her head on Ann's lap; Ann screams.
A man (Alexander Hay) plans to murder his rich wife Rosa (Irene Sims). He winds up killing three others instead before his wife turns the tables.
An elderly man operates a ferry in a small village. One evening, he weakens and dies while ferrying a silent stranger dressed in black.
Some time later, a homeless woman arrives in the village seeking employment, and takes over the ferrying duties. The next evening, a wounded man boards her ferry. She hides him from pursuers and nurses him back to health in her hut. Gradually, she falls in love.
Soon the silent stranger in black appears on the far shore, awaiting the ferry. As Maria conducts him across, he eventually breaks his silence to inquire about the wounded man. Maria realizes that the stranger is Death itself, and she seeks to outwit him by directing him away from her hut and into the village where a festival is in progress. The villagers at the festival recoil from the stranger, who dances with Maria until she escapes from him and runs to a church. She falls to the floor and prays that death will take her and spare the wounded man.
The stranger finds Maria in the church and demands to be led to her hut. To reach it they must walk across a marsh. As they negotiate the treacherous path through the marsh, Maria again prays that her own life be sacrificed so the man she has been sheltering may live. The stranger makes a wrong step and sinks into the mud. The marsh swallows him completely and Maria gets safely away.
The next morning, Maria and her lover ferry to the opposite shore to begin a new life together.
Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), and BMO (voiced by Niki Yang) arrive back in Ooo and discover that their home has been converted to candy and that many of their friends are now happily brainwashed candy people. Finn, Jake, and BMO eventually locate Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch), who has become a large candy tower being with the power to forcibly convert matter into candy. While BMO is completely transformed by Bubblegum's power, Finn and Jake are rescued by Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), who then takes them to the Sky Kingdom. As Finn and Jake look down upon Ooo, they discover that it has been completely corrupted by the four primordial elements: candy, ice, slime, and fire.
Ice King explains that after Finn, Jake, and BMO left on their adventure Betty (voiced by Felicia Day) attempted to get Ice King to remember who he really is but in the process was kidnapped by Patience St. Pim (voiced by Lauren Lapkus), the ice elemental. Patience used Betty's magic to ensnare Princess Bubblegum, Flame Princess (voiced by Jessica DiCicco), and Slime Princess (voiced by Maria Bamford), who make up the remaining elementals. Unfortunately, Patience's plan went awry, and the elemental magic she unleashed took over Ooo. Finn, Jake and Ice King travel to the Ice World and confront Patience, who is disappointed that her plan did not go as planned. The group flee from the Ice Kingdom and rescue Betty, who argues that she can reset the world with an alternate-universe version of the ''Enchiridion''. In order to activate the book's power, however, the group must track down the jewels of power, which are found in the elementals' crowns.
Finn and Jake journey to the transformed Slime Kingdom to retrieve Slime Princess' crown for her jewel. They run into Lumpy Space Princess (voiced by Ward), who is attending Slime Princess's roller skating party. The winners of the skating competition get absorbed into Slime Princess's whole being while the losers are caged up. Finn, Jake and Lumpy Space Princess enter, but lose, only to learn that by losing they still get absorbed. While Finn manages to grab the crown, Jake gets fully absorbed into Slime Princess, forcing Lumpy Space Princess to save Finn. Finn and Lumpy Space Princess flee and, along with Gunter the penguin, they journey to a radically altered Fire Kingdom to locate Flame Princess and her crown. The group finds the monarch—who has turned into a mighty dragon—in the bowels of the kingdom. When Flame Princess swallows the jewel necessary to save Ooo, Finn gives into his violence and begins attacking her, which transforms him into a fire person. Lumpy Space Princess, angered by the violence, yells at everyone to stop their fighting. The kingdom misinterprets her anger and decide to start a war with the Candy Kingdom.
Lumpy Space Princess chases after Finn and attempts to turn him back to normal, but to no avail; the Fire Kingdom citizens then start to fight the inhabitants of the Candy Kingdom. In a last ditch effort to save the world, Lumpy Space Princess reaches out to Finn's "hero heart," which reminds him of happiness, returning him to normal. Finn collects the jewels necessary to revert the world and gives them to Betty, but she betrays him and leaves him behind. Betty reveals that she wants to use the jewels to go back in time and stop Simon from transforming into Ice King. Ice King, oblivious to her plans, accidentally ruins her spell, causing her to get transported to Mars. Meanwhile, Lumpy Space Princess rescues Finn from the candy inhabitants as Princess Bubblegum begins to convert the rest of Ooo into candy. Finn realizes that throughout this ordeal, Lumpy Space Princess has yet to be converted by elemental magic. He speculates that her immunity means that she is, in effect, the anti-elemental. After Ice King arrives with the gems, Lumpy Space Princess taps into her anti-elemental powers and transforms Ooo back to normal. However, Jake now has five eyes and looks like his shape-shifter parent. Finn tells him that they'll find a way no matter what to fix everything, while Jake nervously laughs as he seems to not be aware of his true form.
The Old Ones, powerful godlike beings, created races in the Warhammer world to fight the forces of Chaos. The stellar gates which the Old Ones used to enter the world collapsed, leading to a flood of Chaos that was held at bay by the Lizardmen. Two High Elf heroes in Ulthuan responded to this threat. Aenarion "the Defender" mustered armies whilst Caledor Dragontamer planned to drain magical energy from the world, thus stopping the Chaos invasion. This manifested itself as the Great Vortex, accomplished with the help of the Lizardmen leaders, the Slann. It drained Chaos energy at the expense of locking Caledor and his mages in time, eternally casting spells to maintain the vortex.
Millennia later, in the time when the game is set, a Skaven rocket disguised as a twin-tailed comet disrupts the Great Vortex. The four main playable factions respond to this in different ways. The High Elves and Lizardmen seek to stabilize the Vortex, while the Skaven and Dark Elves seek to use its power for world conquest. The Skaven launched this rocket to provoke rituals from these four major factions. The Skaven could then harness this ritual energy to allow the Skaven god, the Great Horned Rat, to enter the world and thus conquer it. When the player completes the fifth ritual, their race fights a 'final battle' on the Isle of the Dead to determine the fate of the Vortex and thus the world. Winning the 'final battle' results in winning the race's objectives. The High Elves and Lizardmen stabilize the Vortex. The Dark Elves use the Vortex's power to transform their leader Malekith into a god. The Skaven summon the Horned Rat and conquer the world.
Five thousand years ago, the desert kingdom of Nehekhara was once the greatest human civilization in the Old World. However, Nehekhara was destroyed by Nagash, the first necromancer. Through the power of his Black Pyramid, Nagash enacted a great spell that would kill all that lived in Nehekhara and raise them as his undead servants. Before the spell could be completed, Nagash was slain by Alcadizaar the Conqueror, the last king of Nehekhara, with the aid of the Skaven (who had initially allied with the Great Necromancer, but betrayed him after they realized how great a threat Nagash was). The Nehekharan dead returned as the Tomb Kings, but because Nagash's ritual was incomplete, many of the Tomb Kings retained their free will and intellect.
In the current day, the false twin-tailed comet has stirred the Black Pyramid from its slumber and courses with power. It is discovered that five of the nine books of Nagash are needed to control the Black Pyramid. Four Tomb King factions battle to control it: Khemri, led by Settra the Imperishable; the Exiles of Nehek, led by Grand Hierophant Khatep; the Court of Lybaras, led by High Queen Khalida; and the Followers of Nagash, led by Arkhan the Black. Settra, the first and greatest king of Nehekhara, seeks the pyramid's power to regain control over his domain and begin global conquest. Khatep, the oldest of the Liche Priests, seeks to end his exile by using the pyramid to fulfill the promise he made to Settra to transform him and the Nehekharan nobility into immortal golden beings. Khalida, the champion of the Asp Goddess, seeks the pyramid's power to take vengeance on her cousin Neferata, the first vampire, and to destroy all of vampire-kind. Arkhan, the Liche King and Nagash's second-in-command, seeks to use the power of the Black Pyramid to resurrect his master; as Nagash's servant, Arkhan already has one of the books, the Liber Mortis, and thus only needs to obtain four more to unlock the Black Pyramid.
Once all five of the books of Nagash are recovered, the final mission involves the player's chosen faction battling for the Black Pyramid. Should the player choose either Settra, Khalida, or Khatep, they will be on offense and join forces with the other two factions to fight against Arkhan as he guards the Black Pyramid. Should the player choose Arkhan, he will be on defense as he faces off against the combined forces of the former three.
Long ago, Captain Jacob Wulfhart, brother of the famous Imperial Huntsmarshall, Markus Wulfhart, hunted the Merwyrm known as Amanar. Amanar is the oldest and mightiest of the Merwyrms and the guardian beast of the High Elf city of Lothern. Jacob created a weapon known as the Star-Metal Harpoon that would be used to slay the creature. During the climactic battle, Amanar destroyed Jacob's ship, the ''Vengeance'', killing the captain and his crew, save for one survivor. The survivor created a map that would lead to the Vengeance's resting place, and within its confines, the Star-Metal Harpoon.
In the present the disturbance of the Great Vortex has riled Amanar from its slumber, driving the ancient Merwyrm mad, causing it to rampage across the seas and destroying many ships and coastal settlements in its fury. Four factions of the Vampire Coast seek to slay Amanar and resurrect it as their mighty undead servant, thus becoming the dominant power of the seas: Luthor Harkon, ruler of the Vampire Coast and Arch-Grand Commodore of the Awakened; Count Noctilus, the master of the Dreadfleet; Aranessa Saltspite, the Pirate-Queen of Sartosa; Madame-Captain Cylostra Direfin, the spectral leader of the Drowned.
Once the Star-Metal Harpoon has been recovered, and its power restored through three sea-shanties, the player's faction is then confronted by Lokhir Fellheart, the Dark Elf Krakenlord of Karond Kar. Fellheart and his army battles the player's faction, intending to take the Harpoon to slay Amanar and gain glory. Once Fellheart is defeated, the campaign ends with the player's faction shooting the Star-Metal Harpoon at Amanar, killing it and is then resurrected as an undead minion.
The Empire of Man sends colonists to establish settlements along the coast of Lustria. Disturbed by the Imperials' plundering of their gold, the Lizardmen attack the settlements, led by Nakai the Wanderer. To respond to Nakai's attacks, the Empire sends Markus Wulfhart, one of the greatest hunters in the whole Empire, to defeat Nakai.

On Christmas Eve in Victorian London, Benjamin Stahlbaum gives his children Louise, Clara, and Fritz the presents his wife Marie had set aside for them before she died. Clara receives an egg-shaped box which she is unable to unlock, together with a note saying "Everything you need is inside". The family goes to a Christmas Eve party, hosted by the children's godfather and skilled engineer Drosselmeyer. Clara asks Drosselmeyer how to unlock her egg. He reveals that he made the egg for Marie when she was younger.
Benjamin becomes angry at Clara for refusing to dance with him, and they insult each other. Clara finds a string with her name on it, signifying her gift, and follows it into a forest in a parallel world where she sees a key. Before she can grab it, a mouse snatches it and crosses a frozen river. Captain Philip Hoffman, the Nutcracker, leads Clara across the bridge into the Fourth Realm, where they barely escape the mouse king and Mother Ginger, the regent of the Fourth Realm. Captain Philip brings Clara to the palace, where she meets the regents of each land: the Sugar Plum Fairy of the Land of Sweets; Shiver of the Land of Snowflakes, and Hawthorne of the Land of Flowers. They tell Clara they are at war with the Land of Amusements, which they refer to as "the Fourth Realm". It is also revealed that Marie was the beloved Queen of this magical land and, thus, Clara is the princess.
The Sugar Plum Fairy explains that Marie created this world as a young girl, and that she animated everyone with a machine that can turn toys into real people. Sugar Plum says this machine can be used to defend the three realms against Mother Ginger, but it needs a key matching the one for Clara's egg. Sneaking into the Fourth Realm, Clara and Philip steal back the key from Mother Ginger (ignoring her warning that Sugar Plum is lying to them), but Clara is disappointed to discover that the egg is only a music box.
Sugar Plum uses the machine to bring toy soldiers to life and orders them to attack the Fourth Realm. She then reveals that she lied about Mother Ginger, who had resisted Sugar Plum's plan to take over all four realms in revenge for her perceived abandonment by Marie, and that the machine can turn this world's people back into toys as well. She imprisons Clara, Captain Philip, and the male regents, causing Clara to blame herself.
Clara opens her egg-shaped music box again and discovers a mirror, illustrating that all she needed was herself. She and the other prisoners escape. One of Mother Ginger's mice shows Clara into the engine room, and Captain Philip convinces Mother Ginger to help overthrow Sugar Plum. Clara shuts down the machine while fighting off soldiers with Mother Ginger's aid. Sugar Plum attempts to turn Mother Ginger back into a toy, but Clara tinkers with the machine so it aims back at Sugar Plum when activated, turning her back into a porcelain doll and rendering her entire army lifeless.
Thanked for restoring peace among the Realms and the destruction of Sugar Plum, Clara promises to visit in the future. After saying goodbye to Captain Philip, she returns to London, where time has hardly passed since she left. She and Benjamin apologize to each other and she finally decides to dance with him. He accepts, and Clara opens her music box. Benjamin reveals that the music was the first song that he and Marie had ever danced to. They dance throughout the night in the ballroom.

In the techno kingdom, King Trollex's tribe of Techno Trolls are attending a rave, when Hard Rock Trolls led by Queen Barb arrive and use weaponized guitars to destroy everything. King Barb demands Trollex surrender his "string".
Poppy later receives a letter from Barb, inviting her to bring her "string" to unite the trolls. Former King Peppy explains there were once six magical lyre strings that represented major tribes of music - Pop, Hard Rock, Techno, Funk, Classical, and Country. However, the six tribes took their strings and went their separate ways. Peppy, Branch, and the others don't trust Barb's invitation, but Poppy decides to sneak out with her string, to prove Barb is the same as any other troll. Branch (who is trying to confess his love) and Biggie (who stowed away) accompany her. At the same time, a giraffe-like Pop Troll named Cooper finds old illustrations of trolls his shape, and sets off to find them, eventually getting beamed up into a spaceship.
Meanwhile, Barb sends bounty hunters of smaller music genres to find Poppy, promising to spare the tribe of the successful one. Poppy's group soon discovers the ruins of the Classical tribe's town, Symphonyville. A sentient flute, Pennywhistle, tells them that Barb wants to forcefully unite all trolls under Rock. They then head to Lonesome Flats to warn the centaur-like Country Trolls. Poppy feels their music is too downbeat and decides to try to cheer them up first, despite Branch's reservations. The Pop Trolls wind up imprisoned, but are rescued by a smooth-talking Country Troll named Hickory, who builds them a raft to take them to Vibe City to warn the Funk Trolls. They encounter Chaz, a Smooth Jazz troll, who paralyzes them with his music, until Hickory, using gumdrop earplugs to remain immune, drives him off. Biggie deserts the group, angry that Poppy broke an earlier promise to keep him safe.
The group reaches Vibe City, which turns out to be the spaceship that took Cooper. They reunite with Cooper, who reveals that he is actually the long-lost son of Funk Trolls King Quincy and Queen Essence, and twin brother of their son Prince D. Poppy maintains all trolls are the same, but Prince D explains that Pop Trolls once tried to unite all trolls under Pop, causing the initial split. The Hard Rock Trolls attack the ship, and Poppy's group is ejected to safety. Poppy and Branch argue over her refusal to listen; Branch walks off, and is captured by Reggaeton and K-Pop trolls, who fight over him until he convinces them to work together with him against Barb.
A repentant Hickory reveals he is actually a Yodel troll, who disguised himself and his brother Dickory as a centaur to steal Poppy's string. He tells Poppy to run, but Barb arrives and captures her. Biggie, meanwhile, returns home to find Pop Village destroyed, and realizes he should have never left Poppy, rallying the other Pop trolls to rescue her.
At Volcano Rock City, Barb forces her captives to attend a concert. She uses the six magic strings on her guitar to turn all her captives to Rock Zombies, including Branch when he and his new friends try to rescue Poppy. Poppy herself seems to have been turned, but then reveals that she used gumdrops to block out the music. She smashes Barb's guitar, restoring the zombies, but the strings are destroyed, ending music and turning all trolls gray.
Cooper hears his heartbeat, and starts beatboxing with Prince D, convincing other trolls to make sounds to create a rhythm. Poppy leads everyone into singing together from their hearts, restoring their music and color, including Barb, who accepts Poppy's offer of friendship. Branch and Poppy confess their mutual love, and the trolls all return to Pop Village to celebrate.

Jasmine's flying carpet is seen in the forest.
The Agrabah events take place after "The Savior" and the ''Once Upon a Time in Wonderland'' episode "Trust Me", and after Prince Eric left for Agrabah in "Ariel". The Enchanted Forest events take place after "Broken Heart" and after Jasmine and Aladdin left Storybrooke in "Wish You Were Here". The Storybrooke events take place after "Page 23".
In Agrabah, Jasmine's father, the Sultan, is looking for suitors for his daughter, and Jafar answers the request, except he has an ultimatum: if Jasmine doesn't accept his hand in marriage, Agrabah will be destroyed by sunset. Later on, while chasing down a thief, Jasmine runs into Ariel, who is looking for Prince Eric. Believing that finding Eric will bring his army to protect her Kingdom from Jafar, Jasmine and Ariel team up and track down Eric via Jasmine's magic carpet, only to discover that Prince Eric was actually Jafar in disguise. Ariel suggests that Jasmine use a vial of powder she stole from Jafar to defeat him, but Jafar uses his magic to send Ariel and the vial back to the sea.
Towards the beginning of sunset, Jasmine agreed to marry Jafar, in exchange for sparing the lives of her people. She hands him the ring, but Jafar soon reveals that he never really wanted to rule Agrabah, since its people had always scorned him. He was actually interested in the ring, which contained the magic jewel that powered Agrabah's protection spell. He then uses it to cast a curse to make Agrabah disappear, "out of human reach".
As the Nautilus is submerged into another realm, Nemo and Liam inform Hook that Gideon has taken the blood of the Kraken that was needed to return to Storybrooke, so Hook suggests that they hunt down the squid. At the same time, Jasmine and Aladdin search for Agrabah, when she discovers a ring in her pocket after she had wished to find Agrabah. They later continue the journey on boat, when they come across the Kraken, and are saved by Hook. It turned out that the compass from the Nautilus can lead them to a person whose heart is filled with revenge. This gives Hook an idea to help track down Jafar, who might still have the ability to help him return to Storybrooke. However, the Kraken also caused critical damage to the Nautilus, but Jasmine uses her second wish to send them to Jafar's pinpointed location, Hangman Island.
After they part ways with Nemo and Liam, Hook, Aladdin, and Jasmine encounters Ariel, who had a vase-like lamp that contains Jafar, who is now a genie. When Jasmine summons Jafar, it only ends up freeing him, since he found a way to break his genie curse while imprisoned, before going on to knock out the others with magic. Jafar tells Jasmine that he no longer wants anything from her, only vengeance on those responsible for his imprisonment (Cyrus and Alice, from ''Once Upon a Time in Wonderland''). Jafar goes on to mock each of them, calling Aladdin "battle-broken" and "weeping". At Jasmine's insistence, he tells her what happened to her kingdom, but only because the answer amused him - Agrabah was trapped inside the ring that she just wished up. Jafar then mocks Jasmine's past failure and inability to save her people, before demanding that Jasmine give him the ring. Jasmine, now emboldened, discovers a way to save her kingdom, as she turned Jafar into a walking staff using the magic powder, much to Jafar's shock. Then, she kisses Aladdin, thus freeing him from his genie curse, and causing the entire kingdom of Agrabah to re-materialize from the ring. Afterwards, Ariel helps Hook find a way to communicate with Emma, by giving him a seashell that can allow him to call her across realms. Hook uses the seashell, and he's able to reach Emma successfully, vowing that he'll had never meant to leave her, and that he'll find a way to return to her.
In the present day, Emma tells David about Hook having killed Robert. David is upset over this and about Hook's reluctance to confess himself, but Emma tells David that he left on the Nautilus after they broke up over this issue, as witnessed by Leroy earlier. Later, Regina suggests to Snow and Emma that they enjoy ladies' night at a new bar called "Aesop's Tables," but a heartbroken Emma passes. At home, Emma accepts that Hook won't be coming back and gathers his things with Henry when she gets a phone call about a bar fight. As she arrives, Emma discovers that Regina and Snow tricked her into joining them. Regina encourages Emma to open up about her heartbreak while a drunk Snow challenges a group of Vikings to a knife-throwing contest. A crying Emma is met by the bar's owner, Aesop, who tells a heartbreaking of an artist and his wife, then gives her a napkin to wipe her tears away. When Emma returns home, she makes to put away Hook's belongings, when she noticed a seashell calling out her name, discovering that it was Hook telling her that he'll return to her. After Emma loses the signal, she hears Aesop's voice and she looks up, only to discover that Aesop was actually Gideon, who needed Emma's tears in order to blackmail her, telling her that with her tears, he will be able to prevent Hook from using any portals to return to Storybrooke, unless she helps him kill the Black Fairy.
Career criminal Forrest Tucker, a wanted man for two years since his daring escape from San Quentin State Prison in 1978, has just robbed another bank. While evading police, the 74-year-old charmer comes across a woman on the side of the road with car trouble and stops to give the appearance of assisting. The ploy works as moments later, police drive by without noticing him. The woman, Jewel, who is grateful for his help, buys Tucker lunch at a diner. Despite introducing himself with a fake name, Tucker becomes drawn to Jewel to the point of revealing that he is a bank robber. The two later spend time together on Jewel's farm where Tucker becomes enamored of her and her life. Tucker makes a plan to pay off the rest of Jewel's mortgage as a surprise but becomes frustrated after the bank tells him that this would require Jewel's signature on some documents, negating any surprise.
Tucker goes on to conduct a string of heists, often without having to draw his gun from under his coat. Dallas Police Detective John Hunt compiles police sketches from witnesses who describe Tucker as charming and gentlemanly. Hunt then displays the sketches on the evening news, asking anyone with information to come forward. Shortly afterward, Hunt's investigation is taken over by the FBI.
A woman named Dorothy comes forward stating that she is Tucker's daughter. Although he is no longer on the case, Hunt agrees to meet with her. Dorothy says that she was born while Tucker was in prison, making Tucker unaware of her or his grandchild. Hunt is led to Tucker's former lawyer who says that Tucker has never pulled the trigger of his gun. According to his lawyer, police reports of Tucker firing during a standoff are false as it was simply his car's engine backfiring. Later, during a night out with Jewel, Tucker happens to recognize Detective Hunt, who is with his wife Maureen. Tucker tries to boost Hunt's confidence but becomes unnerved when Hunt calls him by his real name, "Forrest", indicating that the recognition is mutual.
Later that evening, police attempt to capture Tucker as he arrives home. He flees but again his car backfires, prompting police to shoot at him, striking him in the arm. He eludes them and makes his way to Jewel's farm. As it is the early hours of the morning, he decides not to wake Jewel and instead takes one of her horses for a ride. Tucker had never ridden a horse before, and this was on his list of things he wanted to do. While riding, several police vehicles come down the road and turn onto the farm's property. Tucker resigns himself to surrendering and does. When Jewel visits him in prison, Tucker gives her a list of his sixteen previous escapes from reformatories and prisons, but line number seventeen is left blank. On Jewel's advice, he remains in San Quentin until the end of his sentence.
When Tucker is released from prison, Jewel is there to pick him up. She takes him to her farm and sets up a room for him, telling him that he can stay as long as he likes. Sometime later, Tucker tells Jewel that he is going out on an errand. He calls Detective Hunt from a streetside payphone, and after some brief banter, Tucker sounds distracted when Hunt asks him if he is ok, Tucker says "I'm about to be", then hangs up the phone and walks into a bank across the street. A title card states that "Forrest Tucker robbed four banks that day. When he was finally caught, the officers on the scene noted that as they arrested him...[pause]...he was smiling."

He is also a Naga whose appearance looks like the head of a monkey placed on a human body. When Sita is 14 years old, Maharishi Vishvamitra—head of the Malayaputra tribe who serve the next Vishnu—visits Shvetaketu's ashram. Impressed by Sita's skills and knowledge (and a strange connection which he remembers due to the sound of a hill myna), he elects her as the seventh Vishnu but asks her to keep it a secret. Sita also wins the trust of Jatayu, a Naga member of the Malayaputras.
After Sita returns to Mithila, she is bereaved upon her mother Sunaina's death. She also has to take care of her younger sister Urmila. With Janak being engrossed in spiritual work, Sita is made the prime minister of Mithila. She is able and makes many reforms in the kingdom with the help of her childhood friend Samichi, who served as the chief of the police force. After Mithila's financial condition stabilized, Sita visited the Malayaputra capital city of Agastyakootam to continue training for becoming the next Vishnu. However, she starts suspecting Vishwamitra's reasoning for choosing her over Rama, the prince of Ayodhya and the son of king Dashrath the supreme ruler of India. Through Radhika she learned that Ram was also being considered for becoming the next Vishnu by his mentor Rishi Vashistha Sita plans a marriage alliance with Ram through a Swayamvar, but is enraged to learn that the Lankan king Raavan and his brother Kumbhakaran have also come there. She manipulates the situation with Vishwamitra so that Ram's name is announced as the first suitor.Ram wins the Swayamvar and marries Sita, while his brother Lakshman marries Urmila. The next day, Raavan besieges Mithila with 10,000 soldiers, and Ram is forced to use the biological weapon Asurastra by Viswamitra who emotionally blackmails Ram, even though its usage is forbidden by Lord Rudra. The Lankan army is defeated and Raavan escapes on his helicopter, Pushpak Viman. Ram returns to Ayodhya and decides to take a 14-year exile as punishment for breaking Lord Rudra's rule. Sita holds a grudge against Vishwamitra for forcing Ram to use the weapon and never speaks to him. Together with Lakshman she joins Ram on the exile, but enlists help from Jatayu and his men, to protect Ram and supply the trio with the anti-ageing drink, Somras.
Numerous incidents occur during their exile and thirteen years pass by. One day, with Ram and Lakshman out hunting, the camp is attacked by Raavan and his soldiers. Sita rushes to help a wounded Jatayu but loses the fight against so many soldiers. She is abducted and carried unconscious into the Pushpak Viman. Once she regains conscious she attempts to kill Raavan in the vehicle but is stopped by a woman drawing a blade to her throat. With Raavan being alerted, Sita turns back and, in a twist, is startled to see that it is Samichi, revealing that she has been a traitor all along.
James flees from a farmhouse and escapes into the woods. A screaming woman tries to follow, but is wounded by a gunshot. Lying on the ground, she is doused with gasoline and set on fire by Vincent and Simon. Deputy Sheriff Daniel Carter is on duty, sitting in his patrol car when he finds James crawling along the road and rushes him to the local hospital, which has been largely abandoned following a fire, where his estranged wife Allison Fraser works as a nurse. At the hospital are Dr. Richard Powell, nurse Beverly, intern Kim, pregnant patient Maggie, her grandfather Ben, and patient Cliff; with the staff at the hospital working as a skeleton crew. Daniel discovers an entranced Beverly murdering Cliff, her face flayed of skin. Beverly moves toward Daniel who shoots her dead. Daniel collapses due to a seizure and experiences a strange vision.
State trooper Mitchell enters the hospital to collect James after discovering the bloody scene at the farmhouse. Daniel goes outside to call in Beverly's death from his patrol car, but is confronted by a robed cultist who wounds him. He manages to return to the hospital as cultists surround the building. James, Daniel and Mitchell find Beverly's corpse has transformed into a tentacled creature. Vincent and Simon enter the lobby and hold the group at gunpoint, demanding to get to James. James takes Maggie hostage to protect himself and stabs Powell, who falls to the floor. The Beverly-Creature appears and takes Mitchell, its tentacles penetrating his body. Vincent and Simon kill the Beverly-Creature and regroup with the others in the lobby, setting Mitchell's body on fire. Vincent and Simon accompany Daniel to retrieve a shotgun from a patrol car, while Allison ventures into the basement to collect medical supplies for delivering Maggie's baby. Powell manages to capture Allison. Daniel and Vincent go to search for her and find photographs and files indicating Powell was the cult's leader. Powell phones Daniel, taunting him and mentioning the vision Daniel experienced while unconscious.
Kim and Ben stay with Maggie while Daniel, Vincent, and Simon interrogate James. James explains that Powell has the power to transform people. The three men force James to come with them downstairs. Allison regains consciousness on an operating table where Powell explains he has found a way to defy death after the loss of his daughter Sarah. Having flayed off his face, Powell shows Allison that something now grows inside her. Daniel, Vincent, Simon, and James find a hidden area in the basement and end up surrounded by deformed corpses brought back to life. One of the creatures kills James as the other three men get separated.
As Maggie enters labor, Kim hesitates to perform a C-section. As Ben pleads with Kim, Maggie stands and slits his throat, revealing she is carrying Dr. Powell's child. Kim hides as cultists enter the building and Maggie leaves. Daniel finds Allison in the operating room pregnant. He sees a tentacled creature extending from her body. Powell's voice speaks to Daniel, who attacks his wife's mutated remains with an axe. Daniel is transported to a morgue room with a glowing triangle on the wall. Powell's voice tells Daniel that he found the ability to conquer life and death. Powell promises that Daniel can have his child back if he is willing to die first.
Maggie appears and stabs Daniel. Powell appears skinless and partly mutated in front of the triangle as Maggie kneels before him. Powell recites an incantation before the triangle as a now frightened Maggie's torso explodes, birthing the Sarah-Creature. Vincent and Simon arrive and battle it. The Sarah-Creature overcomes Vincent, but he covers it in isopropyl alcohol, allowing Simon to set them both on fire with a flare. Powell tells Daniel he can be with Allison if he stops resisting and "lets go". Daniel refuses and tackles him, leading both men to tumble into the void. Meanwhile, the Sarah-Creature pursues Simon, who escapes and is teleported back to the hospital to reunite safely with Kim. Daniel and Allison are shown holding hands in another world beneath a black pyramid.

The film begins with a mother putting on music for her child as she sets her car on railroad tracks and leaves the child in the car to die.
The Ryans are a family of four with a strained relationship. Brent, the father, does not approve of his daughter Carly's new boyfriend Damon; Carly considers her mother Kendall out of touch, fights with her younger brother Josh (who often teases her and causes trouble), and is currently upset about canceling plans with her boyfriend because her grandparents are visiting.
While Carly is at school, radios and TV screens suddenly start transmitting unexplained static. The effect is seen as the Ryans' housekeeper murders her own daughter in front of a terrified Josh and a mob of parents rushes to Carly's school to kill their children. However before they can, Carly sees one classmate being stabbed by his mother with her car keys after he scales a fence to reach her. Carly escapes with her friend Riley, whose mother strangles her when the two girls reach Riley's house. Carly runs home in terror and finds Damon, whose father earlier tried to kill him with a broken bottle but accidentally cut his own throat. Telling Carly that the parents only want to kill their own kids, Damon accompanies Carly into the house to get Josh somewhere safe.
Kendall goes to the hospital where her sister Jeannie is giving birth, but the static transmits just afterward, causing her to attempt to kill her newborn daughter as Kendall tries to save her. Kendall escapes the hospital after seeing television reports of the mass hysteria: the static compels parents to slaughter and harm their children. Kendall heads home to protect her own children.
Seeing Carly at home with Damon, the hysteria overtakes Brent and he knocks Damon out and attacks Carly. Kendall, having been exposed to the static, joins him when she gets home. Carly and Josh lock themselves in the basement and Brent and Kendall use a Sawzall to get through the door. Josh pulls out Brent's gun and fires through the door, wounding his mother. Kendall and Brent, bonding over their shared filicidal desire, run a hose from their oven's gas pump to the basement to poison the kids. When Carly sees the gas, she rigs up a trap with matches at the door and hides with Josh in the ventilation system. Brent cuts the lock off and opens the door, igniting the gas and triggering an explosion that knocks both parents out and awakens Damon.
Damon helps Carly and Josh evade their parents, but Kendall awakens, stabs him in the cheek, and knocks him out again. As the parents close in on their kids, the doorbell rings. When Brent opens the door, his mother pepper-sprays him and his father stabs him; the hysteria affects them as well. Everyone chases one another through the house: Josh evades Brent, who attempts to hide from his father in the garage; Kendall chases Carly and hits her on the head before her mother-in-law knocks her out.
Brent starts the car and crashes it, killing both his parents and knocking himself out. Kendall prepares to finish Carly off, but Damon knocks her out with a shovel.
Kendall and Brent wake up to find themselves restrained in the basement with Carly, Josh, and Damon watching them. They continue to exhibit symptoms of the hysteria, and the kids refuse to let them go. Kendall tearfully tells the children she loves them, and Brent continues: "But sometimes we just want to—" The film ends before he can finish his sentence.

Twenty-five years after an unspecified cataclysm known as "The Reset", tech company Vopo Technologies rebuilds society in City Six. Although Vopo has access to modern technology, which they use to maintain control, the people scavenge for 1980s-era parts. Simon, a computer technician, learns his best friend, Eric, has committed suicide. At the funeral, he observes Max. Max later sells scavenged computer parts to a shop where Simon works. Though Max brushes off Simon's attempts to make conversation, he later comes back to request aid in decoding an encrypted message Eric sent him. Max is disappointed to learn that Simon has quit his job to work for Vopo, as he believes Vopo to be untrustworthy.
Simon easily accesses Eric's message. After watching cryptic video footage together, Max kicks out Simon to further research the matter alone. Simon returns the next day and insists Max allow him to help, pointing out that his Vopo contacts could prove useful. Max agrees, and they leave the city to visit the house of a woman seen in the footage, disguised as Vopo technicians. The woman knows nothing, but in her house, Max and Simon find clues that lead them to a fellow computer hacker, Steven, who was working with Eric. Overhearing from a Vopo security officer who has come to visit the house that Steven has died, they contact his girlfriend's sister, Grace, who works at a hospital.
Grace explains she has been searching for her missing sister. She leads them to a safe house said to frequented by anti-Vopo hackers, though they find little information. When a curfew passes, they hide from a Vopo patrol and crash at Grace's house. There, the three get to know each other better. Simon says he drifted apart from Eric once Eric began hanging out with computer hackers who opposed Vopo, and Max reveals that he met Eric at a juvenile detention center, where Eric taught him how to hack computers. The others press Max to play a tape, which they believe to be music; instead, it is a recording of his mother, who Max believes was killed by Vopo. Simon dances with Grace, eventually telling her that Steven has died. After they leave Grace's house, they see a man kill her.
Though shaken, they continue their investigation. At work, Paul Bateson, the co-founder of Vopo, speaks to Simon. He says he knows of Simon and Max's investigation, saying Simon reminds him of himself and his idealistic partner, Tom, a talented computer hacker who, for reasons left unexplained by Bateson, is no longer with Vopo. Urged by an anonymous computer hacker, Max and Simon uncover a hidden message left by Tom in which he expresses regret with how Vopo and the city have turned out, inviting anyone who can decode his message to join him searching out other surviving cities. Later, while discussing this with Bateson, Bateson stresses the need for stability and safety over idealism. Bateson reasons that even if any other settlements existed – which he discounts – they would only raid City Six if they knew of its success.
Simon and Max leave the city, violating a curfew by bluffing their way through a guard post via Simon's Vopo credentials and hacking Vopo's computer surveillance. Outside the city, they find a wide desert. Overjoyed by their newfound freedom, Max encourages Simon to leave City Six with him. Simon reveals that he informed on Eric to save himself when Eric was sent to juvenile detention, and Max says he already knew this. Max repeats his offer, but Simon declines, saying he has chosen to ally himself with Vopo. He urges Max to flee from Vopo's security and says he will no longer be able to help him beyond this point. As a drone approaches, Simon watches Max flee.

Cole Black finds himself outside an abandoned building with only one thing on his mind: "save the girl." After infiltrating the building and killing the armed men he finds there, he discovers the girl tied to a chair with a bomb strapped to her chest. Black is unable to defuse the bomb before it explodes.
Black suddenly wakes up in an old, abandoned asylum, with a strange device strapped to his head. He is introduced via television screens to a shadowy figure identifying itself as Red, who tells him the device is known as the Pandora, or Savant, an experimental technology designed to record and play back human memory for analytical purposes. In this case, Red wants Black to explore the circumstances surrounding the girl's kidnapping, claiming that Black had something to do with it, although he cannot remember anything. While making his way through the asylum, Black encounters several fellow inmates, whose fates are ultimately determined by his actions. Many of them refer to Black as the "Puppet Master" and make other references to ''Alice in Wonderland''.
Through the examination of several of his own memories and others provided by Red, Black begins to piece together what happened. He was hired by a man named Robert Ramsey to infiltrate ADS, a weapons contractor, and steal a prototype of their latest invention, the CornerGun. Ramsey then patented the CornerGun as his own creation, nearly bankrupting ADS and humiliating its CEO, Roger Howard. As a reward, Ramsey made Black the head of security for his own company.
Black manages to recall the name Jasper Prado, an Irish mercenary who was killed in suspicious circumstances around the same time as the kidnapping. Further investigation reveals that Jasper was hired by Rose Atkins, Robert Ramsey's research assistant, with whom he had an affair. Atkins, an ambitious, amoral woman, felt she was not getting the credit she deserved for the Pandora project and decided to betray Ramsey. She hired Prado and his men to kidnap Ramsey's daughter Grace and demand the Pandora device as ransom. Black frequently stumbles upon memories that depict Ramsey as a driven man whose obsession with memory—presumably due to his mother's succumbing to some form of mental illness—and the hope that his Pandora device will change the world causes him to neglect his wife Lenore and Grace. Based on these flashbacks and Red's angry response to them, Black deduces that Red is really Robert Ramsey, who confirms this and declares his intention to find out why Grace was taken.
Black remembers himself confronting Rose about the kidnapping and then throwing her out a window, killing her. When Ramsey questions his motives, Black cannot offer a definitive answer. Black's final memory is of himself being approached by Howard, who propositions him to steal the Pandora device as revenge for the CornerGun theft, in exchange for a hefty reward and a purging of Black's criminal record (which Ramsey is apparently using as leverage). Black flatly refuses; Ramsey, however, does not believe this either, and reveals that Black is not in an asylum at all, but incapacitated in a life support chamber. The "world" dissolves around Black as he screams for mercy.
The player then assumes the role of Ramsey, who is sequestered in a basement room filled with technology powering his Pandora device, through which he has been reviewing Black's recall of his memories, while Black himself is still in the life support chamber. With the help of an AI named Hope, Ramsey decides to perform an "audit" of specific memories, believing that Black was deliberately trying to hide something from him. However, these memories are distorted further by Ramsey's own fragile mental state. Distraught over the kidnapping and Lenore's leaving him because of it, Ramsey has Black, who was put in a coma by the bombing, taken from the hospital and put into his care. He discovers Black had some knowledge of the kidnapping, and that the intended target was Lenore, but Prado's impulsiveness led to Grace being taken instead. When Black discovers this, and the fact that Prado has also constructed a bomb against orders, he murders Prado himself and forces Atkins to tell him where Grace is. Unfortunately, he fails to defuse the bomb, which is haphazardly constructed and far too powerful.
In the audit of Black's meeting with Howard, Black again refuses to work for Howard, but this time offers to have Howard work for him, revealing himself as the mastermind behind the kidnapping (hence the "Puppet Master" references). Depending on Black's morality during the game Ramsey either shuts off Black's life support, killing him or sends Black away to a hospital to live out the rest of his comatose life. Suddenly, the room begins to dissolve and a disembodied voice of Grace, which Black has heard throughout the game, condemns her father for causing all this to happen. Overcome with guilt, Ramsey admits that he is a terrible father and husband, who loved both his family and his mistress but could commit to neither, because he wanted his work to make a difference in the world more than anything.
In a final twist, the disembodied voice is revealed to be Grace in the real world; she survived the explosion, but was left paralyzed from the waist down, and has been using the only working Pandora prototype to watch her father's memories, including his watching Black analyze his own memories. Grace can choose to shut down the Pandora link to her father, or watch one final memory: a distraught Ramsey confronts an unrepentant Howard and kills him, before attempting to commit suicide, which has left him in a vegetative state. Atkins – whose death at Black's hands was another false memory – reveals that Ramsey left his company and research to Grace, and urges her to sign a contract allowing work on the Pandora to continue. A disgusted Lenore tries to object, but Grace insists she knows what she's doing.
Based on the player's approach to use of lethal force throughout the game, and certain choices made as Black (which are catalogued during Ramsey's audit), one of two endings occur. In the ''Good'' ending, Grace signs the contract, which will make her rich and still in control of the company, and fires Atkins, vowing to ensure the technology be used the way her father hoped it would be. In the ''Bad'' ending, Grace refuses to sign and destroys the Pandora prototype, ensuring the technology will never be used again.
In the 22nd century, Ern A. Smithe is a "reclone" of a mystery writer, embedded with the recorded memories of his original and stored in a library where patrons can consult or borrow him. He is checked out by a woman who hopes that he can help solve the deaths of her father and brother, because her father's safe had contained nothing except one of Smithe's novels. However, Smithe's original was not a detective, only someone who wrote about them — and his knowledge of the world is over a century out of date.
The game's setting takes place two years after Kiwami. In ''Toukiden 2'', players will assume the mantle of a mysterious Slayer who has awakened after a ten-year slumber to a world shrouded in darkness. As revealed in ''Toukiden: The Age of Demons'', humanity was protected for centuries by a secret clan of warriors, the Slayers, trained to dispose of the supernatural threat before it could consume the world. An event known as the Awakening caused rifts to appear in space and time – resurfacing places that had long disappeared from the world and unleashing swarms of Oni that relentlessly hunted humans. Koei Tecmo published an anime short as a prequel to the game, the animation was handled by Studio 4°C and it was directed by Takahiro Tanaka.
Defeating Oni will free souls of fallen heroes known as Mitama, who are based on Japanese historical figures and can be utilised to power-up your character, weapons, armour and the Demon Hand.
It is a story of Lisse, a girl from a ruined world who steals a war spaceship to seek revenge. She is from the people who carry (and communicate with) actual "ghosts" of their ancestors (the tradition called "ghostweight").
The philosophy and the plot of the story are closely associated with origami. Origami serves as a metaphor for history: "It is not true that the dead cannot be folded. Square becomes kite becomes swan; history becomes rumor becomes song. Even the act of remembrance creases the truth." A major element of the plot is the weaponry called ''jerengjen'' of space mercenaries, which unfold from flat shapes: "In the streets, jerengjen unfolded prettily, expanding into artillery with dragon-shaped shadows and sleek four-legged assault robots with wolf-shaped shadows. In the skies, jerengjen unfolded into bombers with kestrel-shaped shadows." The story says that the word means the art of paper folding in the mercenaries' main language. In an interview, when asked about the subject, the author says that he became fascinated with dimensions after reading the novel ''Flatland''.
The story of the film is based on the murder of Yazdgerd III, the last emperor of Sasanian Persia, who while being hard pressed by the Arabs on his western flank, fled to Marv where he was slain by a miller in a mill, in which he had been taking refuge.
The film begins with the Zoroastrian high priest (magus) of the Persian Empire, accompanied by the imperial army commander entering the mill to try the miller accused of murdering the emperor. The miller, his wife and his daughter, while trying to exculpate themselves, all express a different version of the same incident. As the story shifts, more questions come up than are answered.
A central theme in the film is the social disaffection among the general population of Persia at the eve of the Arab Islamic conquests and inequality in the highly class-based society, in which the wealthy elite and the Magi had amassed a disproportionate amount of wealth that they owed to heavy taxation and the benefactions of the pious.

Nakata offers to mediate the matter for Hanada by meeting with Mr. Chang, intending to settle the situation with 30 million yen as an offering of peace. However, Mr. Chang refuses the 30 million yen, and curiously gives them another 30 million yen to take with them once they leave.
Nakata and Hanada are puzzled by Mr. Chang's gesture until their boss Nishino, the second in command of the Hanabishi clan, mistakenly explains that their original offer of 30 million yen was not enough, and to show his displeasure and the insignificance of their offer Mr. Chang gave them an equal amount. Nishino's explanation is proven wrong however when he meets Mr. Chang and presents him this time with 100 million yen. Mr. Chang refuses again and this time does not even take the time to give Nishino and Hanada the minimum courtesy of attending them nor their 100 million yen. It is clear that while the Hanabishi family are dealing with the situation in the standard way the Yakuza does, Chang does not.
While this is happening in the forefront, in the background the politics of the Hanabishi clan are in full display. The current clan chairman is an ex-stock-broker Nomura who assumed power of the clan because he was the brother-in-law of the old chairman. Nishino and Nakata have very little respect for him and want to take advantage of the Hanada-Otomo conflict in order to overthrow and eliminate Nomura, blaming it on the Chang organization in the process. Meanwhile, the Sanno clan (absorbed into the Hanabishi clan in the previous film) carefully assesses the situation and tries to take advantage for themselves.
Mr. Chang minimizes the conflict and settles the situation peacefully and wants Otomo to stand down from any retribution he is planning, while Hanada's men try to assassinate Mr. Chang, but fail. Being a former Sanno clan member and personally has conflict with the Hanabishi clan, Otomo decides to avenge the offense to him and Mr. Chang by traveling back to Japan and killing the Hanabishi responsible.
The conflict culminates in Otomo seeking out all the Hanabishi responsible and killing them all in insidious ways. He did all this without Mr. Chang's approval, and consequently, he punishes himself by committing modern seppuku - shooting himself as punishment for his offense towards Mr. Chang, once again demonstrating his honor and loyalty. Mr. Chang, when told of the news, reflects sadly while staring into the empty distance.
A former member of an elite Soviet military team is ordered to kill three men or his family will be exterminated.
Mark Branski (J.D. Ryznar) is an FBI agent along with his partner Donald French (Scott Chernoff). The two collaborate with Branski's niece Jen (Chelsea Kane) and her cowardly talking dog, Chubbie Webbers (Justin Roiland), to investigate paranormal phenomena. A recurring theme of the show is how they mostly go up against nasty, nasty monsters and wacky forces of evil, yet sometimes kill good-intentioned "adversaries" without a second thought, often based on just following orders, heated emotions or the Bible.
The Twelfth Doctor and Nardole are living under the guises of a university professor and his assistant. Bill Potts, who works at the university's canteen, is called to the Doctor's office, where he notes she attends all his lectures, and Bill eventually becomes the Doctor's student.
Months pass, and Bill develops a mutual attraction to a student named Heather, who has a defect that makes it look like there is a star in her eye. Heather asks her to inspect a mysterious puddle, asking her if she can see what's wrong with her reflection, but Bill does not notice anything except that her face seems wrong somehow. Bill turns around and Heather has left. Within the puddle, a voice proclaims that a search for a pilot has begun.
Bill meets Heather again, who encourages her to look into the puddle once more, then apparently vanishes. The Doctor investigates, and notes that the reflection is not a reflection, but something mimicking them and that the puddle is not made of water. Bill returns to her flat, and is chased by a moving body of fluid, which takes Heather's form. She runs to the Doctor's office, where fluid-Heather materialises, forcing him and Bill into the TARDIS. The Doctor moves the TARDIS elsewhere in the university, where he and Nardole check on a vault they have been guarding. They conclude that fluid-Heather is only interested in Bill just as the creature appears, causing the trio to flee in the TARDIS.
The TARDIS lands again on a boat in Sydney Harbour facing the Sydney Opera House, where the Doctor admits that he is an alien. The fluid-Heather arrives again, having travelled the planet in just a minute. The Doctor takes them to another planet, millions of years into the future, but she finds them again. The Doctor speculates that the substance is a living fluid from an alien ship, and that it made Heather its "pilot" because she wanted to run away. He decides to have it chase them through a battle between the Daleks and the Movellans. The fluid-Heather assumes a Dalek's likeness after taking a shot meant for the Doctor and Bill. Bill convinces "Heather" – who wants to make her a passenger – to let her go, and it departs.
The Doctor and Bill return to his university office, where he attempts to wipe Bill's memories of the day's events, but she stops him. He says that he has promises to keep, that he is in disguise and no-one should know who he is. He changes his mind, however, and as Bill leaves the grounds she finds him waiting for her with the TARDIS. She agrees to travel with the Doctor.
The Doctor keeps framed pictures of his wife, River Song, and granddaughter, Susan Foreman, on his desk, along with a collection of his sonic screwdrivers from both the classic and revival series.
While being chased by the sentient oil through time, the TARDIS crew journeys to a battle in the war between the Daleks and Movellans, first mentioned in the Fourth Doctor story ''Destiny of the Daleks'' (1979).
The Doctor prepares to wipe Bill's memories of her experiences with him in the same way he wiped Donna Noble's memories in "Journey's End" (2008). When Bill asks The Doctor how ''he'' would feel having his memory wiped, Clara's theme plays in the background, referencing events of the Series 9 finale "Hell Bent".
Rick expresses his disgust for the quality of modern television, and replaces the Smith family's normal cable box with a device that allows them to watch shows from infinite realities. Rick flips through the channels to show the endless possibilities, including a reality where Jerry is a famous actor. Jerry, Beth and Summer, excited, beg Rick to show them their alternate lives. He pulls out a pair of Inter-Dimensional Goggles that will allow them to see through the eyes of their alternate selves. Morty stays with Rick and the two continue to watch various commercials and clips from alternate realities.
Jerry, Beth and Summer take turns using the goggles. Jerry sees himself snorting piles of cocaine with Johnny Depp, while Beth sees herself operating on a person instead of a horse. Summer, however, finds that she does not exist in most realities, with those she exists in being largely unchanged. Jerry and Beth confess to Summer that she was an unwanted pregnancy that they initially were going to abort, and that her birth prevented them from achieving their goals. This greatly upsets Summer, and she announces her plans to run away.
While Summer begins to pack her bags, Morty attempts to console her. He shows Summer the graves that he and Rick dug in their backyard in the episode "Rick Potion No. 9", confessing that the Morty from her reality is dead, and he is her brother from another reality. He then concludes by saying "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die... Come watch TV?" Summer agrees to stay, and the two of them go back downstairs to watch TV with Rick.
Jerry returns to the living room and tells Morty that he and Beth have decided to spend some time apart. The television suddenly shows the alternate reality Jerry having a nervous breakdown, driving a mobility scooter on a freeway in a "low-speed chase" by police. They watch as alternate Jerry arrives at the doorstep of alternate Beth, telling her that he hates his life and regrets not continuing their relationship. Having seen how important their relationship is to each other, Beth and Jerry rush back into each other's arms.
In the post-credit sequence, the Smith family is watching the news from a "Hamster-in-Butt World". They ask Rick a wide variety of questions about the world until he begrudgingly creates a portal to it so they can find the answers for themselves. The family then spends a pleasant vacation in Hamster-In-Butt World.

As described in a review in a film magazine, Robert Andrews (Kirkwood), president of a bank, invites the bank examiner and several directors to his home for a house party in order to keep him from examining the books and discovering a big shortage. Andrews quarrels with young Hammond (Ricketts), who is in love with his ward, Anne Maynard (Bellamy), and also with Lester Knowles (Hull), who is jealous of the friendship between Andrews and his wife Margaret (Theby). Andrews courts death as his insurance money will cover the shortage. A little later he is "killed” in Mrs. Knowles’ room following a series of mysterious happenings. The coroner and police find that practically every one has a motive for wanting to get rid of him and suspicion points with about equal force in several directions. This causes the coroner to ask, "Is there anyone in this crowd that did not have a reason for killing Andrews?" Everything is in a turmoil until it is discovered that Andrews is still alive. Cornered, he explains it was all a frame-up to distract the bank examiner’s attention from the shortage, which has been repaid, and it develops that the bank examiner has given up his job and is now trying to sell real estate.

Xia Tian (Yang Mi) is a research scientist with Nexus Corporation. Her team, under the leadership of the Director (King Shih-Chieh), are working on wormhole technology to allow people to travel to parallel universes. However, the technology in its current state causes test animals to become aggressive and their cells to break down. IPT Lab, a competing agency that was working on the same technology, hires Tsui Hu (Wallace Huo) to steal Nexus's research.
Tsui Hu kidnaps Xia Tian's son, Dou Dou (Hummer Zhang) and gives Xia Tian one hour to bring him all the research. Xia Tian gets the research but is late reaching Tsui Hu, so he kills Dou Dou. Unable to live without her son, Xia Tian returns to the Nexus building, where she uses the particle accelerator to travel to a parallel universe, but back in time by one hour and fifty minutes.
In the second universe, Xia Tian takes her doppelgänger's place and, knowing how events play out, is quicker about getting the research to Tsui Hu. She recovers Dou Dou, but tricks Tsui Hu by giving him fake data. Tsui Hu chases the pair down and kills Dou Dou.
Xia Tian travels to a third universe, which now has three versions of her. The original Xia Tian (#1), who has become highly aggressive, arrives just as her second doppelgänger (#2) has cheated Tsui Hu and recovered Dou Dou. The two Xia Tians work together to avoid Tsui Hu and his goons, and Dou Dou is safely sent away to a hospital.
The three Xia Tians then learn that the Director is working with Tsui Hu, out of anger from being fired and the project handed over to Xia Tian. The Director suggested kidnapping Dou Dou to punish Xia Tian and force her to prove that the technology worked. Tsui Hu is also revealed to have been one of the test subjects at IPT Lab, and hopes to travel to a universe where he can save his wife and child. In a confrontation over the research data, Tsui Hu kills the Director, and is shot himself by Xia Tian #1. As he dies, Tsui Hu warns the women that the test subjects at IPT Lab turned on each other, and the women will do the same.
The three women have a standoff in the Nexus lab, with Xia Tian #1 determined to be the only one left to be with Dou Dou. She is killed by Xia Tian #2, who has accepted that she will die from cell deterioration. Xia Tian #3, who has not traveled across universes and is unchanged, is allowed to leave for the hospital, where she is reunited with Dou Dou. Left alone in the Nexus Lab which is about to explode, Xia Tian #2 turns on the particle accelerator, but it is unclear if she traveled to another universe, or if she died in the explosion.
A year later, the surviving Xia Tian is unemployed but living a happy, simple life with Dou Dou.

They are joined by Ballon, an alien kept prisoner by the Governors whose shapeshifting abilities have been frozen. The three travel using a metaphysical engine that can transport them to recreations or "ideas" of any place, as long as this place is "believed in". During their travels, they find an Arn specimen to study, obtain the blood of the "Devil" (to unfreeze Ballon's shapeshifting abilities so that he can perform surgery on Quill), and obtain the brain of a Quill goddess to study before returning to Coal Hill.

In a forest, mercenaries Reeves and Karlsson rejoin the rest of their squad – Gantz, Capper, Evans, commanding officer Smith, along with two hooded and bound captives. Reeves reports fleeing from a group of hostiles, as Karlsson sedates Capper, whose leg is badly wounded. Evans reports a farm and jeep nearby, and Smith orders them to investigate. At the farm, Reeves vomits after seeing a mysterious orange powder. Evans, already nervous, becomes increasingly erratic after finding the jeep's engine has been sabotaged in a gruesome manner. As Karlsson sedates Evans and tends to Capper, Reeves and Gantz explore the farm.
Reeves and Gantz find mercenaries, whom they refer to as "group D", and two other captives, all decapitated, in a barn. As they return, they hear music from a storage container. They find a woman inside, who panics when they turn off the music. Karlsson sedates her and Smith orders her brought along. An enemy flare is shot off, and Smith orders a retreat, leaving Capper behind. Gantz and Evan fire at a hooded figure before retreating, but Evan returns as Capper calls out. The rest flee through a field until they encounter an abandoned armoured personnel carrier. Seeking refuge, they throw out its cargo while Gantz fires at another hooded figure. One of the prisoners stabs Gantz, and Reeves kills her.
Once inside the vehicle, they hear noises from outside as attackers attempt to open the door, which Gantz then jams. Karlsson gives them tranquilizers to help them sleep. Smith orders Gantz to fix the tank. Gantz finds a rotting corpse in the front of the vehicle, but fails to start the engine. He sees another strange figure outside the viewport. Searching the vehicle for tools, they find bottles of orange powder labelled "Kratos". Annabella, the surviving prisoner, claims to be a teacher and explains it means "strength and power" in ancient Greek. She secretly pockets a flare gun from a toolcase.
Reeves dreams of the monster Gantz saw and an argument between Smith and the others about the notebook he constantly writes. He awakens and questions Annabella, who claims to not remember why she is there. The next morning, the argument Reeves dreamt occurs, but Smith refuses to show the notebook. Gantz attempts to repair the engine again, but cannot reach it. He reports an orange powder on the engine, before seeing a monstrous, gasmask-wearing enemy outside the vehicle. After being calmed, he refuses to return, and Karlsson sedates him. Smith orders Reeves to attempt to fix the engine next. Karlsson begins looking through files stored in the vehicle, and finds they are dossiers on the mercenaries and their captives, identifying them as dead, including Smith. Smith expresses disbelief, saying he did not expect that many casualties, but claims he doesn't know anything. Reeves inspects the corpse in the front of the vehicle, and finds that the dog tags are for Evans.
As Reeves attempts to fix the engine, Capper appears and taunts them, refusing to open the hatch. He suggests Smith knows what is going on, and asks Karlsson if she knows with what she has been injecting everyone. As Smith and Karlsson argue, Annabella shoots Smith with the flare gun, killing him. Karlsson kills her, before realizing she was accidentally shot by Smith when he was attacked. Before Karlsson dies, she reads through Smith's mission notes, finding that Smith has been recording the dosages of the red-tinted sedative.
Reeves is able to start the engine. Egged on by Capper, who ingests Kratos, Reeves attempts to run him over. Capper eventually trips and falls, and challenges Reeves to run him over, which Reeves does. Later, after Reeves has stopped the vehicle, the rescued woman wakes and discovers everyone but Reeves dead. She finds the hatch is no longer jammed, opening it easily, and flees. Figures in hazmat suits and gas masks arrive, along with a gas masked man in a suit. Finding a survivor in the vehicle, he declares "It worked, good." before ordering Reeves killed. The forest from the start is shown again, as a loudspeaker announces that an experiment is about to begin, and a soldier emerges from a white box.

LA police detective Gene Handsome visits the house of a new neighbor and meets her babysitter, Heather Dromgoole. The next day, Handsome and his partner, Fleur Scozzari, find Dromgoole has been murdered and dismembered outside the home of actor Talbert Bacorn. Bacorn claims that at the time of the murder, he was inside caring for his neighbor's dog and watching a TV rebroadcast of one of his early films.
Handsome's neighbor, Nora, says Dromgoole was a good babysitter despite stealing several things. Handsome babysits Nora's daughter so Nora can go to work. When she returns, Nora tells Handsome Dromgoole had a roommate, Amanda.
While interviewing Amanda, Handsome and Scozzari see an extravagant body lotion on Dromgoole's dresser. Amanda says she believes she received it from an older man, Nora's ex, Lloyd. Lloyd denies a sexual relationship, saying he was a father figure. The medical examiner tells Handsome Dromgoole's body contains traces of an expensive skincare cream and has a round depression in her skull.
After examining Dromgoole's phone records, Handsome confronts Lloyd, who admits he hired Dromgoole to spy on his ex-wife. Handsome notices Lloyd's company's coffee table book, which contains a photograph of Dromgoole and Bacorn attending the same sponsored event. Nora visits Handsome and during a conversation they realize they have had the same dream about escaping their current lives to live in the country and care for dogs.
Lloyd explains that the picture of Dromgoole and Bacorn was taken at a celebrity gala where he provided the fireworks and Dromgoole tagged along, pretending to be his assistant. Annoyed she could not take one of the "swag bags" given to celebrities at the event, which included expensive toiletries, she befriended Bacorn. When Handsome arrives at Bacorn's house to re-interview him, he discovers that the handles of the neighbor's tools contain traces of skincare cream. At Bacorn's house, Handsome notices that Bacorn is using the same brand of skincare cream as the lotion from Dromgoole's apartment. Bacorn says he received it and the body lotion at the party Dromgoole and he attended, and he gave the lotion to her. Handsome spots a large award in Bacorn's bedroom, something which could have caused Dromgoole's head injury.
Handsome denigrates Bacorn's acting and he blows up, confirming Handsome's suspicion that Bacorn is prone to violent anger. Bacorn admits that Dromgoole and he had sex after the party, during which she ridiculed his acting. Bacorn killed her, then dismembered her using his neighbor's tools. He dumped her body on his own lawn, assuming no one would suspect him, too obvious. Bacorn attacks Handsome, but Scozzari arrives and saves him. Nora says they cannot date because she is moving to the country to work giving massages to dogs. Handsome returns to his regular routine.

Though they warn him to stay away, Chris presents the book to Kate, who becomes excited to visit it; James is less enthused. They at first have trouble finding a villager that will talk to them, but one tells them of a man named Hitoshi, who returned from a trip to the temple blind and claiming to have had visions. The trio at first laugh off the stories.
Chris gets them a room at an inn, where he comes upon Seita again. Seita, who says he lives in the village, offers to take them to the temple the next day. After agreeing, Chris sees an eyeless man; he identifies himself as Hitoshi and reveals that 50 years ago, several children went missing. The villagers found a monk at the temple, and, not believing his story, killed him. That night, Chris watches Kate and James as they have sex until he becomes convinced he has seen someone outside his room. James is annoyed at both the commotion Chris causes and that Chris has apparently been spying on them. The next day, Seita leads them to the temple. Along the way, they find an abandoned mine, which James wants to explore. He reluctantly leaves it so they can reach the temple before dark.
Seita leaves for home shortly after they arrive. The temple is guarded by the statue of a kitsune, a legendary fox-human hybrid. James is disappointed in the temple but agrees to let Kate explore it. After being spooked by something in the forest while examining a nearby graveyard, she agrees they should leave. Before they can, hands pull Chris through a wooden floor, and he breaks his leg. James makes a splint and promises to return to town for help in the morning. However, when James overhears a conversation between Chris and Kate in which she alludes to having had an abortion without telling James, he leaves immediately. Chris and Kate cuddle together until Kate hears James cry out in the distance.
A kitsune chases after James. Following his cries, Kate returns to the mine, only to find him disfigured and eyeless. When she flees, she discovers the mine's entrance has collapsed, trapping her. At the same time, the missing children attack Chris at the temple. In the present, the bandaged man, whom the professor believes to be Chris, denies having killed Kate and James, despite evidence from Chris' camera, which apparently shows him attacking James. The bandaged man becomes enraged when they deny that Seita is there with them, and he stabs the translator with a pen before escaping the room.
''Hacker's Memory'' takes place in the same world and timeline as the original ''Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth'': a near-future version of Shibuya, Japan where an advanced form of the internet known as Cyberspace Eden which users can physically enter. The story revolves around a boy named , whose Eden Account is stolen in a phishing attack. After the identity theft leaves him accused of a crime he didn't commit, he joins a group of hackers called "Hudie" and delves into the depths of Eden to find the real culprit. Along the way, he befriends a number of Digimon, digital lifeforms who inhabit the information world. Keisuke is assisted in his mission by , a shy, reclusive member of Hudie who possesses a genius mind that can link directly to Eden itself, and her Digimon partner Wormmon. Characters from the original ''Cyber Sleuth'', such as Fei and her partner TigerVespamon from the hacker group Zaxon, also appear; this shows a previously unseen side of their story from the previous title.
Keisuke Amasawa was accused of a crime he didn't commit, which lead to him dropping out of school. The only person left trusting him being his childhood friend, Yu Nogi. Keisuke's Eden account had also been stolen, so Keisuke goes on a journey to find out who stole his account. Using information provided by a mysterious hacker known as K, he attempts to track down his missing account. He finds himself at a place known as the Digi-Market, in which he starts to ask around and not wanting to seem out of place, attempts to buy a Digimon, however he barely has any money, meaning he can only buy one of the worst Digimon they have, which were going to be deleted anyway - one of Gotsumon, Tentomon or Betamon. Keisuke chooses one to buy, though before he does, he demands the salesman let the other two go instead of deleting them. The salesman becomes angry at Keisuke for demanding such a thing, so summons his Ogremon and Devimon to attack Keisuke. Ryuji Mishima and Cyberdramon appear to defend Keisuke and the chosen Digimon runs in to try and help defend Keisuke too. Seeing this, Ryuji adds the Digimon capture program to Keisuke's Digivice which allows Keisuke to capture the Digimon. They then team up and defeat the salesman, then force him to release the other two Digimon back into the wild. Ryuji then offers Keisuke a job as a member of Hudie, which Keisuke accepts, making him teammates with Ryuji, Chitose Imai and Erika Mishima. Hudie works directly under Yuugo Kamashiro's Zaxon, doing various missions for the group, usually being assigned them by second in command, Fei Wong Tomoe Ignacio. Hudie also directly get involved, sometimes helping and sometimes unintentionally making things worse for them, with the various missions of Aiba and their friends, Nokia Shiramine, Arata Sanada, Kyoko Kuremi, Yuuko Kamishiro, Makiko Date, Gorou Matayoshi and Mirei Mikagura as well as Aiba's enemies, Jimmy KEN, Akemi Suedou and Rie Kishibe - Keisuke however, is on friendly terms with Jimmy Ken and Suedou and considers them friends. Keisuke also finds himself involved with the Royal Knights and Seven Deadly Demons, though unlike Aiba who becomes acquainted with every single member of both group, Keisuke only befriends Omnimon, Alphamon, Veevee, Craniamon and Beelzemon, whilst Crusadermon is a direct enemy to both Keisuke and Aiba. Despite befriending all of Aiba friends, Keisuke himself never meets Aiba.
Following the leads of K, Keisuke deals with various hackers and eventually finds out that K himself was responsible for stealing Keisuke's account and had been using it the entire time. Keisuke later learns that K was actually his best friend, Yu, who was madly in love with Keisuke and was being manipulated into doing evil things to get Keisuke's attention by a Matadormon posing as a mask. Keisuke defeats the Matadormon, freeing Yu from its clutches, though Yu, embarrassed by everything he's done ignores Keisuke.
Similar to Aiba and their friends, Hudie also had to deal with the Eaters. In Under Zero, Crusadermon summons a giant group of them, which attack countless numbers of hackers, causing them to acquire EDEN Syndrome. Ryuji is seconds away from being attacked, being pushed out of the way at the last second by his best friend, Chitose. This shocks the leader of Hudie, who goes into a deep depression from seeing his best friend sacrifice himself for him. This dark depression winds up attracting the attention of Arcadiamon, who teams up with Ryuji in his mission to murder all hackers as revenge for Chitose's sacrifice. Ryuji would kill the hackers, whilst Arcaidamon would kill their Digimon. Digivolving all the way up to the Mega level, whilst absorbing multiple Digimon and humans, Ryuji and Arcadiamon cause massive trouble all over Eden and the real world. Whilst doing so, Erika tasks Keisuke to track down an Eater. After defeating it, they hack it and use its data to reach the Eaters home world, where they come across the real Yuugo Kamishiro. Explaining that they had come to locate Chitose's memory data, Yuugo allows them to do so, which they find due to the help of Chitose's Ankylomon. They restore Chitose's mental data, causing him to be the only person to awaken from Eden Syndrome. Keisuke attempts to inform Ryuji, only for Ryuji not to believe him, leading to Keisuke defeating Arcadiamon. Chitose then arrives and yells at Ryuji for his actions, the shock of Chitose actually being back alive shocking Ryuji out of his depression. However, Arcaidamon has woken back up and attempts to murder Chitose. Like Chitose had done before, Ryuji pushes Chitose out of the way and takes the attack instead, before flying off to Odaiba. Keisuke and Erika locate Arcadiamon, who was now in its Ultra stage. They are unable to harm it, leading Erika to have her Eater Bits, which she had created using the previous hacked Eater data, attack it which slows it down enough to harm it. Keisuke then kills Arcadiamon, freeing Ryuji and Cyberdramon. Erika however had overexerted herself and passes out, which leads to her Eater Bits attacking her and merging with her to become Eater Legion.
Eater Legion attempts to get to the Digital World, as do the massive amount of Eaters, which causes EDEN to shut down. Needing to get into Eden to free Erika, Fei allows Hudie to use Yuuko's personal EDEN computer, which with the help of Yu and the various hacker groups Keisuke had fought against, manage to gain access, though only enough power existed to allow Keisuke, Chitose and Ryuji to enter. Finding Eden to be infested with countless amount of Eaters, they fight their way through, eventually finding Eater Legion. They attempt to defeat it without killing the body, but this proves to be impossible and Erika instructs them to kill Eater Legion as her body was too assimilated with it. Erika's non corrupted memory data from her server merges with her Wormmon to become Hudiemon and she aids in killing her original body. A large group of Eaters then merge with the rest of her corrupted memory banks, creating Eater EDEN, which Hudie manage to kill as well. Due to the actions of Aiba in the Digital World, the world is reset and changed so that EDEN never existed, which in turn means that Digimon never arrived in the real world to interact with humans. Erika makes the choice to remain as Hudiemon, rather than return as Erika because should she return to a human world without EDEN, she will die due to EDEN being the only reason she was still alive. In addition, she was directly responsible for the death of her parents in a car crash, which is what caused her illness in the first place, so erasing herself out of existence will not only remove all burdens from her brother but will also cause her parents to stay alive. Keisuke leaves his Digimon with Erika, as do Chitose and Ryuji. Hudie return to the real world, with their memories of Digimon and Erika erased. With no Erika in the new world, Ryuji is an only child with his parents still alive. He still however, is the leader of Hudie - with Chitose and Keisuke working for him. Without the influence of Matadormon, Yu is also a member of Hudie and remains on good terms with Keisuke. Unlike the rest of the group however, Keisuke retains his memories. In one final cutscene, the group decides to go out to celebrate Ryuji getting a job. Before leaving, Keisuke goes to see Erika's bedroom, and discovers that it is now used for storage, and cries. However, on the way back to catch up with the group, a glowing blue butterfly flies past Keisuke's face and into the storage room. It then flies into a monitor, that turns on to reveal the Digimon the player used in the game, as well as Erika and Wormmon. The game's producer Kazumasa Habu confirmed the butterfly was Erika visiting her former friends, and that she had used her newfound powers as Hudiemon to create an alternate universe in which she lives happily with alternate versions of them.

They are able to convince her of the truth and she calls Lucifer to a motel room where the Winchesters, Castiel, Crowley, and Rowena ambush him. Using Arthur's device, Sam is able to exorcise Lucifer from Rooney and Rowena casts a spell believed to banish him back to his cage. However, the Winchesters are arrested by the Secret Service, who believe they were attempting to assassinate the President, and rather than aborting the Nephilim, Kelly flees from Castiel.
Jersey Bellini is a bounty hunter who forms an uneasy partnership with a rival to capture a fugitive
Andy Barber is an assistant district attorney in Newton, Massachusetts. He is investigating the murder of a 14-year-old boy, Ben Rifkin, who was a classmate of his son Jacob and was found stabbed to death in a park near their school. Andy initially suspects Leonard Patz, a known local pedophile, but soon, he discovers that Ben's friend hints at the animosity between Ben and Jacob. Andy searches Jacob's room and discovers a knife that fits the description of the murder weapon. Unsettled by finding a knife in his son's room, Andy disposes of the knife on the notion of this being what "any parent would do." The next day, he is suddenly pulled off the case when a fingerprint is found inside Ben's sweatshirt that matches that of Jacob.
The finding shocks Andy and his wife, Laurie, but does not shake their belief in his innocence. Jacob claims that he found Ben dead in the park and tried to revive him. While Jacob spends the night in jail, Andy reveals to Laurie that his father, Billy Barber, was a convicted murderer and rapist who was serving his life sentence at a Connecticut state prison. At the request of Jacob's lawyer, Andy reluctantly meets with Billy. He seems to be indifferent to Jacob's situation.
At the trial, incriminating evidence comes out, including a story Jacob posted online which reads like a narrative of Ben's murder. Just when things look bad for Jacob, Leonard Patz is found hanging in his house. He leaves behind a suicide note taking responsibility for Ben's murder and Jacob is cleared of all charges.
The Barber family is relieved, but Andy feels suspicious about Patz's death. He visits his father again and learns that he had hired a hitman to kill Patz and leave behind the note. Billy expresses regret over his life in prison and realized he did not want the same for Jacob. Andy is angered by this since he believes Jacob is innocent and would have been cleared anyway.
Wanting to put the whole ordeal behind them, the Barber family decide to go on a vacation to Jamaica. There, Jacob meets a girl named Hope Connors and the two become close. One day while Jacob is relaxing at the resort, his parents notice a red stain on his bathing suit. The next day, Hope is reported missing. Her body is found several weeks later, washed up ashore with evidence pointing to her windpipe being crushed.
Laurie becomes convinced of Jacob's guilt and in turn, feels guilty herself. On their driving to an interview at a private school, Laurie crashes the car she is driving with Jacob in it, resulting in Jacob's death, while sustaining critical injuries herself. Andy is questioned in connection with Jacob's death but refuses to cooperate or incriminate Laurie in any way. Afterwards, Andy tries to imagine the final moments of Jacob's life and what he would have become if he had lived.

In 2006, based in Lagos, Nathan Doga (Wole Ojo) and Layo Doga (Adesua Etomi) are still expectant of their first child after two years of marriage.
Nathan consoles Layo, who seems unhappy and incomplete without a child. On getting to work, Tammy (Diana Yekini) tries to persuade Layo to freely get a design for a wedding. Nathan calls Layo at work after being inspired from a quotation in his Bible that speaks about "two people agreeing on earth", explaining his interpretation to Layo as being, if they can have sex tonight the heavens will bless them with a child. After two weeks of the scripture-inspired sex, Layo begins showing symptoms of pregnancy, and gets a confirmation from medics. She informs her mum (Patience Mohie), making her promise not to tell her husband until their anniversary in a few days. On their way back home from an outing, Layo asks Nathan, who is driving, if he thinks their relationship will remain strong when they approach old age. Nathan replies amusedly that it will be better. This is shortly before his car is run over by another vehicle.
Four years have passed since the accident. Nathan has been confined to a wheelchair. Layo tries to come to terms with the new reality of being married to a crippled. Nathan explains how his career got tarnished after the incident. Layo in a counter argument narrates how she has given her all for him for four years and how she wants to "live her life again". Nathan's aim of consoling her by stating that his condition is only temporary turns futile. Just before leaving in November 2010, Layo informs Nathan of the baby she was carrying four years ago and how they didn't only lose their baby but also their home. She dropped her wedding ring with Nathan on the floor calling for her return, and returned to her parents home. Nathan's blood pressure has been on the increase since the absence of his Layo.

It's been a month since Layo left her matrimonial home, her mum tries to persuade her to ask after the well-being of her husband but she refuses. Nathan's sister caters for him in the absence of his wife and encourages him to get his life together by reminding him of the memories from their parents and how he's the only family she's had left. Tammy speaks to Layo that she understands why she needed to make that decision. After arriving home at midnight, Layo gets into a fight with her mum over her continued neglect of her husband. Layo discloses that she spoke with his sister so she knows he'd in good hands and request that if her mum was so concerned on his welfare, she should move in with him since she knows he's an orphan. Layo's mum asks her to ponder if she loves his body or his soul. She also told her to reflect on the reaction of Nathan if she was the one on the wheelchair. After a sober reflection on the issues raised by her mum, Layo admiration for her husband began to be reignited. Layo meets her spiritual mentor and explained her fears and challenges to her who encouraged her saying that" Your mother is right but permit me to add somethings she left out, I have learnt that love always come at a cost that only the BRAVE can pay for, this is beyond you. You cannot love this man by your own strength, you will always go weary, you see God is love and when you truly have him you have the capacity to love unconditionally without fear or compromise, the kind of love that have the capacity to change everything". Layo reconciles with Nathan, who accepts her back immediately. Nathan goes through series of therapy with his wife and sister to make him walk again.

Anya closes a restaurant where four men—northerners Archie, Malcolm, and Kevin are entertaining Londoner Craig—have finished a post-badminton meal. After a misunderstanding between Craig and the thickly accented Anya, Malcolm takes the bill, but he and Archie both wish to pay. Craig insists that ''he'' will pay, as he is leaving, and wealthier than the others. The three argue, Archie being unable to pay as the card machine lacks paper. Malcolm suggests that the bill should be split three ways, the northerners treating Craig, but Kevin claims to be the poorest. Archie, Malcolm, and Craig thrust cards at Anya until Kevin offers to pay. He counts cash as Anya fetches drinks. Craig thanks the others for making his trip bearable, and offers to pay, restarting the argument. The dispute becomes about Malcolm's position as badminton-club secretary, and Malcolm reveals that Archie has spent time in prison. Anya arrives with drinks, and Craig, paying the bill, speaks of craving excitement, only to have his card declined. He phones his ''au pair'' for a card, keen she not look in the wrong drawer, but Malcolm snatches the phone. He is about to pay, but Archie stops him. Archie reveals that he wanted to pay as he has an inoperable brain tumour.
A distressed Malcolm leaves the table only to return furious; Archie was lying. A heated debate ensues, and the four men wrestle over the bill until Anya tells them that the meal can be free. Malcolm insists it is not about the bill, and fetches a knife and chopping board. Archie and Malcolm are to play stabscotch, with the winner paying. Malcolm is quick but Archie is slower, repeatedly stabbing himself. Craig pulls the knife from Archie, inadvertently slashing Anya's throat. She collapses as blood splatters. Anya is dead, and Malcolm formulates a story blaming Archie, but Archie has called a prison contact who will remove the body.
The clean-up will cost £200,000; it is needed tonight, in cash, meaning only Craig can pay. He calls his ''au pair'', but treads on Anya's hand, and she yells. Kevin declares the plan a failure; Archie, Malcolm, Kevin, and Anya had been hustling Craig. Kevin, now in control, demands Craig's phone. Craig refuses, but is locked in the restaurant. In a final scene, a waiter closes the restaurant while the hustlers ("Archie", "Malcolm", "Kevin", and "Anya") entertain the well-dressed Tim. "Archie" requests the bill, and "the waiter" is revealed to be Craig, who has joined the hustlers to satiate his cravings for excitement.

In the year 1840 in Oxtail Village-Hong Kong, a 20-year-old girl named Yik Siu-ha (aka Summer) was buried alive as an offering to her dead landlord into the afterlife. Both her and the landlord's bodies were placed in a casket and buried. Yik Siu-ha would spend her final mortal moments scratching her casket to escape. Unfortunately, both died from deep negative emotions and caused both to become ''jiangshi''.
Since ancient times, there have existed the ''jiangshi'' (a type of zombie that returns from the dead and feeds on the life force of living beings). Modernly, they are viewed as hopping vampires that prey on the blood of its victims. Although the government knew the existence of the ''jiangshi'', they have buried all public knowledge about them and society viewed the threat as a myth. Originally, they dispatched Maoshan Taoist priests to handle the problem. Eventually though, the British Hong Kong government covertly created the Vampire Cleanup Department (aka VCD) to discreetly exorcise the ''jiangshi''. Disguised as the city's sanitation, the VCD are the first line defense against vampire threats.
About 20 years ago, Yat Lung Cheung and his wife (both part of VCD) fought against the jiangshi and lost. Both of them were bitten and infected, but Yat Lung's wife at the time was pregnant. Cheung was turning and he volunteered to cremate himself before he turns. Before his wife's death, his team members helped him deliver a baby boy. The boy would grown up to be Tim Cheung.
Tim Cheung (Babyjohn Choi) is just an ordinary student in Hong Kong and looks after his paternal grandmother (who suffers from memory issues). Growing up, his classmates calls him 'rubbish bin' because his deceased parents worked in sanitation and his grandmother recycles cardboard for a living. One fateful night, Tim was involved in a vampire cleanup op. An old man was killed by a vampire and Tim was bitten before VCD Agent Chau (Siu-Ho Chin) arrived to neutralize the vampire. Upon waking up, Tim woke to find himself back at his grandma's apartment with VCD Agent Yeung Chung (Richard Ng) and Chau. Chung offered to explain everything the following day, leaving Tim curious and confused.
The following day, Tim made it to the sanitation building. Through a hidden door, Tim entered to meet Chung and was given a quick summary about HK's sanctioned anti-vampire operation. Chung wanted to recruit Tim into the VCD because of their aging members. However, everyone else was either against or reluctant to accept Tim due to their history with Yat Lung. Tim didn't believe in vampires and just wanted to leave. However, he quickly became a believer when he tripped over a detained vampire. Chung would reveal that Tim's parents were part of VCD and Yat Lung (Tim's father) was their leader. Chung explained his mother was bitten during her pregnancy and helped him develop an immunity towards vampire toxins, making him a great candidate to succeed their agency. Chung offered Tim a cup of "Calming Tea" (memory erasure tea) and ask him to think about things over. If Tim doesn't want to join, he can drink the tea and forget everything that ever happened or train to become a VCD agent. Tim chose to join the VCD.
Tim soon started his anti-vampire training. Each of the agents taught Tim an area of expertise. Priest Ginger (Cheung-Yan Yuen) taught him anti-vampire amulet spells, Chau taught him martial arts, and Kui (Meng Lo) taught him how to use their anti-vampire weapons. While not ready to take on a vampire, Chau decided to take Tim to Sai Kung on his first training mission. A treasure hunter had dived into the lake (that was once Oxtail Village) and found two caskets. He opened one and died from wrath of the undead landlord (aka Vampire King).
At the lake, Chung and Chau encountered the Vampire King and fought him. The fight was short as Tim encountered his own vampire and cried for help. Tim encountered Summer (Lin Min-chen). He fell into the lake where Summer bit Tim in the lip. As Summer drank Tim's unique blood, it transformed her rotten body into her former youthful form. Chau arrested Summer and took the body back to VCD HQ. Along the way, the VCD crew encountered Inspector Chu. Chu is part of the HK police division that co-manage the vampire situation with the VCD. However, he doesn't like the VCD and have his own research team look into new ways in dealing with the vampire situation. Chu is interested in developing an anti-vampire vaccine that would cure vampirism and end the VCD's jurisdiction. Chu's break would come when they discovered Summer's vampire tooth.
At VCD HQ, the crew learned about Oxtail Village and Summer's unfortunate life. They realized that Summer is the Vampire King's bride and if they were to ever bond together, it could lead to disaster. Tim was instructed to burn Summer's body but the amulet holding her came off and she followed Tim. Unable to get her back to the cremation table, Tim went home with Summer following him. He tried to seal her off in his closet, but he realized Summer is claustrophobic due to being buried alive and sealed in a casket for over a century. Summer calmed down when she was exposed to watching Chinese Opera on TV and Tim took the time to study more about vampires. It was through one of the manuals that Tim learned the landlord is a Dry Vampire (a powerful and malevolent type) and Summer a Human Vampire (a vampire with human traits). Viewing Summer as harmless, Tim decided to keep her around to learn more about vampires.
In between training, Tim learned that Summer loves Pig Blood Curd and enjoys Chinese Opera. As time went on, Summer continues to develop more human traits and the two began to show feelings for each other. Due to the dangerous nature of the job, Chau told Tim to fulfill any wish to his grandma to make her die feeling happy. Tim decided to bring Summer to his grandma's place to pretend they are a couple. Grandma Cheung was very happy to know Tim has a girlfriend. Because Summer can't be seen hopping around, Tim gave her a hover board to cover her vampire traits. While observing a couple walking and holding hands, Summer expressed the desire to walk for Tim and the two got even closer. Things would end when the Vampire King returned.
Chau merely injured the Vampire King with amulet stakes. The vampire fed on the blood of rats to regain enough power to attack civilians. During that time, Tim was being tested for his ability to defeat a live vampire to prove he's ready to be a full-fledged VCD agent. However, after holding down the vampire, Tim wanted to show everyone that vampires don't necessarily need to be slayed. Distracted, Tim lost the upper-hand and the vampire was choking him to death. Chau wanted Tim to slay the vampire, but Tim couldn't. Summer's enhanced hearing detected Tim was in danger and charged into their sanctum to save Tim. Chau was angered to know he kept Summer and even defended her. Their argument was put on hold when they got the call about the Vampire King. Summer was neutralized and Tim begged Priest Ginger to not kill her and he agreed. Tim tried to reason with Chau about Summer, but he was too enraged and destroyed Tim's sword, saying he was unworthy to wield it. Things would take a turn for the worst when Inspector Chu returned to take over VCD.
While Chau and Kui looked for the Vampire King, Chu arrived with official papers to replace the VCD with his own squad and armed with the experimental anti-vampire vaccine. As Chu's men take away Summer, Priest Ginger tried to warn them that the Vampire King will look for Summer if she's brought into the open; Chu was counting on it. In an emptied mall, Chu tied down Summer to lure the Vampire King. The VCD team accepted their dismissal and decided to take action on their own.
At the mall, the VCD team reunited to face off the Vampire King. The landlord arrived for Summer and Chu thought he would disintegrate the Vampire King with his new weapon, but it didn't work. While it was effective against a lesser vampire, it had no effect against a dry type. Chau, Kui, Ginger, and Tim had to step in to take on the Vampire King by mortal combat. Despite their best efforts, the vampire proved to be powerful and Chau was bitten. The VCD team managed to hold the Vampire King with rope and drag his body up against the sunlight to burn him away. However, Tim was also stuck with the vampire as well. Summer broke free of her bindings and saved Tim from harm and helped burn the Vampire King to death. Sadly, Summer's actions cost her life. The sunlight was burning Summer away. Despite Tim encouraging Summer to drink his blood to save herself, she refused to. In their final moments, Summer smiled as she disintegrated and Tim tearfully kissed her, confessing his love for her.
In the aftermath, the VCD proved their effectiveness and not only reinstated, but was given a larger facility and even recruited a new team of VCD trainees. Chau survived his bite and was cured after doctors developed a vaccine from Tim's immunity. It was while talking to the new trainees that Tim happily encountered Winter, a trainee that looks just like Summer. The story ends with Tim preparing for a new mission.
The story is a supernatural reimagining of the story of death of Yang Guifei. The movie opens with Chunqin, the wife of an army commander, making a reluctant bargain with a talking black cat. In exchange for the eyes of fish which are eaten by the cat, Chunqin finds a pot of coin which she shares with her husband. The Japanese Buddhist monk Kukai is called to the imperial palace to assist Emperor Xuanzong who is cursed with a supernatural ailment. The Emperor passes away while strange cat wailings can be heard. Kukai makes the acquaintance of Bai Letian the poet whose major work is "Chang hen ge" - Song of Everlasting Sorrow (長恨歌)- the story about the life of the Emperor's favorite concubine Yang Guifei. The commander's wife has lapsed into a coma. When Kukai and Bai Letian investigate they see an visage of Chunqin on the roof reciting a poem. Kukai believe this visage is that of a demon cat.
They research the poem being recited by Chunqin and learn that it was one that was composed at Yang Guifei's wedding banquet. They decide to visit Yang Guifei's abandoned residence. Inside they see Chunqin's visage. The visage explains that she was once Yang Guifei's beloved cat. She explained that she was buried alive but was allowed to escape. It became a demon cat in order to exact revenge. The cat later possess the commander and while possessed he kills Chunqin. The commander goes insane.
Bai Letian believes his work Everlasting Sorrow would be fraudulent if he is not able to learn the real story behind Yang Guifei's death.

They learned of the existence of the Japanese envoy Abe no Nakamaro and obtain his diary from his widow who is still in China. They learned that during the crisis where the imperial soldiers surrounded the royal residence, they had hatched a plan to save Yang Guifei's life. This would involve using an acupuncture technique that would make Yang seem dead for a period of time. Yang would later revive. The soldiers would be satisfied she was dead. The plan works and the soldiers leave the residence.
Yang was then placed in a coffin and buried inside in a tomb. Her black cat was left in the tomb.
Kukai and Bai Letian visit Yang Guifei's tomb. They realize Yang Guifei was buried alive in the coffin from the marks inside. They realize that the plot was actually meant to trick Yang Guifei and the Emperor had no plans to rescue her from the tomb. This was because nobody could bear the guilt of killing her. Yang's two loyal charges Bai Ling and Bai Long attend at her grave. Bai Ling confesses that he was aware of the plan to trick Yang Guifei and put poison into her wine so she would not suffer. Bai Long is shocked at this. He refuses to abandon the grave. Bai long sacrifices himself and imbues his spirit into the black cat. When his spirit melded with that of the cat he learned that the poison did not work and Yang Guifei was buried alive. The (now) demon cat returned to the palace and attacks the Emperor putting a curse on him. Kukai and Bai Letain are joined by Bai Ling at the tomb. The cat attacks Bai Ling. Bai Ling told the cat that he retrieved Bai Long's body and had put it beside Yang Guifei's. Bai Long tells the cat that he is prepared to die. The cat goes to attack but returns to try to get onto the coffin. The Demon cat is unable to mount the coffin. He sees the image of a white crane (Bai Long is white crane) fly off and the cat dies. Kukai and Bai Letain are seen walking in the city. Bai Letain said he does not intend to change his poem even though it is not correct. Kukai returns to his monastery in Japan.

Meanwhile, Kitty Pryde leads her new team of X-Men against Terrax as civilians gather to watch the battle. After the battle ends and Terrax is subdued Kitty attempts to address the onlookers with a speech about how the X-Men can be heroes for everyone, but is unsuccessful as the public view of the X-Men has been darkened ever since their feud with the Inhumans. Kitty faces even more hardships when the government provides her with an increasing amount of paperwork due to the X-Men now living in Central Park. After almost having an awkward reunion with Colossus, Prestige informs the team that a group of mutants are attacking the city. The X-Men arrive at the United Nations building and find it under attack by a brand new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, now including the X-Men's old ally Magma and new mutants who have taken over the mantles of Pyro and Avalanche. During the ensuing battle Mesmero captures Logan and the Brotherhood teleports away. S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives on the scene and shows Kitty footage of Nance using the X-Men's fight against the Brotherhood as a means of stirring up paranoia of an impending race-war. The Brotherhood only fuels Nance's anti-mutant stance further when they announce that they kidnapped the mayor and intend to execute him in 24 hours, leading to Nance suggesting mutant-deportation. Logan attempts to escape but ends up under Mesmero's mind-control. The X-Men find the Brotherhood's base and Logan attempts to ambush them until Storm manages to subdue him. Prestige manages to defeat Mesmero, and it's revealed that Magma was under his control. Not knowing what's real and what isn't anymore, she attacks Kitty and almost burns the whole building down. Kitty manages to get through to her and together they all escape the building and S.H.I.E.L.D. arrests the remainder of the Brotherhood, save for one, Kologoth, who appears to not be a mutant at all. Curious about this alien creature who is only able to communicate using a strange language, the X-Men take him captive and imprison him in the basement of the school. After Prestige realizes that the entire Brotherhood was under Mesmero's control after he was employed by Nance to stir up anti-mutant hysteria by any means necessary, the X-Men visit Nance personally and threaten to expose her if she continues her campaign.

Gambit attempts to destroy the vial so Trask can't use them but the nanites escape and take on the form of a brand new breed of Sentinel. Gambit calls the X-Men for help. Storm manages to rescue Gambit just before the Sentinel is able to kill him. While the rest of the X-Men clear civilians, Kitty uses her phasing power to disrupt the Sentinel. As it dissipates Prestige falls unconscious due to massive psychic backlash, revealing that this new Sentinel is self-aware and is capable of learning from past encounters. Lydia Nance uses this latest incident to label the X-Men as terrorists as their fight against the Sentinel caused major damage to a nearby skyscraper. Meanwhile, the Sentinel reforms and uses a telepathic attack to kill everyone with genetic differences instead of only mutants. S.H.I.E.L.D. and other heroes soon join the X-Men to help disperse the crowd and fight off the exponentially increasing onslaught. While unconscious, Prestige telepathically discusses her fears of what the future given her own history and legacy with astral versions of her deceased family.

Logan and Storm manage to disperse the mob beating Nightcrawler and find him miraculously alive despite the severe and lethal nature of his injuries; Nightcrawler claims that Heaven won't accept him after he escaped the first time. Kitty ends up fighting X-Cutioner on her own after everyone else is evacuated from the mansion. Before beating him she learns that mutants killed his wife and son and blames all mutants for fighting each other with no regard for humans in the crossfire. He shoots at Kitty but Colossus intercepts the shot with his shoulder. After X-Cutioner is arrested Kitty receives a congressional summons for a meeting about a new bill regarding mutant deportation.

Omega Red adjusts to his newly resurrected life but knows that the resurrection is only temporary, causing him to seek out a way for the resurrection to remain permanent. A short while later Colossus receives a mysterious phone call from an uncle he never met named Anatoly Rasputin, who informs Colossus about Omega Red's mysterious resurrection. Colossus and Magik take the X-Men to Russia with them to survey their meeting with Anatoly. Shortly after Colossus and Magik meet Anatoly, they are ambushed by monsters imbued with magic. As the rest of the X-Men reveal themselves and join in the fight, Illyana ends up captured as and the mob leaves. It is soon revealed that Omega Red needs Illyana's powers as Magik for his resurrection to remain permanent. Peter agrees to let Anatoly lead him to the rest of the mob so they can find Magik, but once they find the mob Anatoly double crosses him. Peter and Nightcrawler manage to find Magik and free her. Omega Red meanwhile ambushes Logan, Storm, and Kitty. After easily defeating Storm and Kitty he fights Logan, seeking vengeance for Logan having killed him in the past. Logan manages to best Omega Red again.

When Kitty decides to invite the X-Men Blue team to the mansion, their reunion is interrupted by three floating objects that land in various areas of New York. The Blue and Gold teams join forces and split off into groups to investigate. When they come into contact with the objects, a powerful force fields surrounds them that they are unable to escape from. The force fields create virtual reality constructs of Asgard, Inferno and the Future that Rachel came from. Their clothing is transformed and the teams begin to fight off approaching enemies. It is revealed that Mojo, in an effort to boost his ratings, is creating a special "greatest hits" show that recreates famous X-Men battles from throughout their history and that he is broadcasting it live to audiences across the multiverse. The first team, consisting of Kitty, Prestige, Cyclops and Bloodstorm, try to rescue civilians in the Future but they are interrupted by Mojo who broadcasts his face onto an army of Sentinels. Proving to them that the threats they face are real and not simply special effects, impales Bloodstorm on a metal spear, killing her. Prestige managed to psychically contact Logan, Storm and the time-displaced Angel and Iceman who are trapped in Asgard battling Frost Trolls and Nightcrawler, Colossus, Poison and the young Beast and Marvel Girl who are fighting demons in Inferno to tell them that Mojo is behind everything. The first team is rescued from the Sentinels by Longshot, who has hacked into Mojo's system and is broadcasting his adventures to his own subscribers. Mojo becomes angry when he is informed that his ratings are not rising as quickly as he expected so he begins showering his audience with gifts and encourages them to vote on which scenario they would like to see the X-Men face using an app.
Transported to Asteroid M, Longshot, Kitty, Prestige and Cyclops are forced to fight a simulated version Magneto before being placed in an Avengers vs. X-Men scenario. Meanwhile, Logan, Storm, Iceman and Angel are sent to the X-Tinction Agenda where they come under attack by the Magistrates and the Press Gang who swiftly kill the entire team. Meanwhile, Marvel Girl, Beast, Jimmy, Colossus and Nightcrawler are still fighting demons and are confronted by a simulation of the Goblin Queen who Jean manages to defeat, causing the team to be teleported to the Savage Land. Mojo is delighted when Polaris, Danger and the real Magneto arrive to rescue the X-Men, sending them into the Morlock tunnels to face the Apocalypse and the Marauders.

While the rest of the X-Men engage Spiral and Mojo's forces, Kitty finds out the location of Mojo's control room. The team reach the control room for their final showdown with Mojo, who leeches energy from his viewers to increase his strength. He appears to be getting the upper hand until Magento and Polaris arrive and combine their powers to create an EMP that disables his broadcasting technology, leaving him helpless.

After teleporting away, Mojo and his crew are stranded on Earth but manage to set up their own news network.
Unknown to the X-Men, Kologoth was secretly released by the mutant serial killer, escaped the school and contacted his allies on their home planet. Despite Kitty's efforts, congress votes to pass Nance's mutant deportation bill, prompting protests that are held by mutants around the country. Kitty and Colossus' relationship begins to develop. The mansion is attacked by alien forces who have come to rescue Kologoth. While Kitty and Nightcrawler sneak into the ship, Rachel is gravely injured by its powerful lasers. The ship picks up Kologoth and disappears through a wormhole. The rest of the X-Men track the ship to the Negative Zone where they come into contact with the government of Kologoth's home planet's who explain that Kologoth and his forces are trying to take over the planet and must be stopped. Kologoth offers to let the X-Men have Kitty, who was captured aboard the ship as long as they leave the planet immediately but they refuse, asking him to reveal the location of Nightcrawler who had escaped his prison. The X-Men engage Kologoth and his forces but Kologoth revives an old God before he is killed by Logan. Reunited with Nightcrawler, the X-Men trap the God in the centre of the Negative Zone but end up crash-landing their ship on an unknown desert planet. After escaping from the planet, Kitty asks Colossus to marry her.
Following events in the negative zone, Logan leaves the team. Mesmero breaks himself, Pyro and Avalanche out of prison and the three seek revenge on Nance after their actions as the Brotherhood on her behalf ruined their lives. After being defeated by the X-Men and imprisoned, Mesmero breaks them out and the three plan to get revenge on Nance for ruining their lives although Pyro refuses to kill her. The X-Men, joined by Magma who wants to apprehend Mesmero personally for mind-controlling her, arrive and rescue Nance but they are defeated by the Brotherhood. Mesmero manipulates the X-Men into attacking the police and the team are arrested. Kitty is visited in jail by She-Hulk, who informs her that she is unable to get the team released. Pyro, realising that Nance was behind all of it, leaves the Brotherhood, not wanting to be a criminal. While the X-Men are in prison, Iceman and Rogue are brought in to lead a replacement team consisting of Magma, Magik, Armor and Ink alongside Pyro, who arrives wanting to make amends for his actions. They rendezvous with Captain Britain and Meggan in Paris where a giant creature from the negative zone is attacking. Storm escapes from her cell and convinces the warden to let the rest of her team go so that they can join the other X-Men to tackle the threat.
Gambit tracks down Mesmero and the team apprehend him. Kitty allows Pyro to remain on the team as long as Iceman keeps a close eye on him. During Colossus' bachelor party, an advanced sentinel kidnaps him and takes him to Nance who is hiding out in a secret facility in the Savage Land where she and her sentinel plan to use his blood to create a virus that will kill any mutant that it comes into contact with. Rachel uses her abilities to track Colossus' location and the team arrive to try and free him but are distracted by Nance and her sentinel, who buy enough time for a rocket holding Colossus to be launched into space. They capture Nance and Kitty instructs Iceman and Pyro to watch over her while the rest of the team visit Puck who provides them with a ship so that they can launch a rescue mission. The X-Men arrive too late and the sentinel has already launched Nance's virus but Storm, Puck and Pyro manage to successfully destroy the virus before it reaches Earth. Kitty finds a gravely injured Colossus and stays by his bedside while he recovers in the hospital. At Kitty and Colossus' rehearsal dinner, Magik confesses to Kitty that she think she and her brother should not get married. On the day of the wedding, the X-Men gather to celebrate but, when Colossus attempts to put the ring onto Kitty's finger, she phases through it and phases through the ground, leaving Colossus alone at the altar. At the reception, Magik expresses her guilt to Rogue, believing that Kitty leaving Colossus was her fault. Colossus and Kitty reconcile and give their blessing for Gambit to propose to Rogue. The rabbi marries Gambit and Rogue and the X-Men watch on as they share their first kiss as husband and wife.
Although the two have reached an understanding, Colossus admits to Kitty that it is too painful for him to stay at the X-Mansion and he leaves the team. Rachel awakens to find that Mesmero has broken out of prison again and manipulates her into attacking the other X-Men by making her believe she is a mutant hunter. Iceman and Pyro spend the night together but rush upstairs when they hear the commotion and find Nightcrawler has been knocked out. Magik meets with Storm, who convinces her that she was not to blame for Colossus leaving. Rachel attacks them, putting Magik to sleep and using a sentinel to incapacitate Storm before psychically knocking out Psylocke and Armor. Young Cyclops manages to convince her that what she is seeing is not real and Jean Grey explores her mind, ensuring that no trace of Mesmero remains there. Following this trauma, Rachel breaks up with Nightcrawler. Storm is summoned to Wakanda where she finds out that her adoptive mother was murdered by a cult who killed her after she refused to forsake her goddess and worship theirs. Revealing that the goddess they worshipped was her, Storm heads to the village and vows to eject the cult. Storm finds that they have been keeping the bodies of those they have murdered in catacombs below the village rather than burying them in accordance with tradition. The dead begin to rise and begin to attack Storm but she is saved by the arrival of the other X-Men and they manage to liberate Storm's village. Storm vows never to abandon the village again. The X-Men are called when a young boy exhibits omega-level powers that cause extensive damage to a neighbourhood. Just when Kitty is making headway in helping him regain control, a human bystander shoots the mutant so Nightcrawler teleports him to a hospital where the doctor refuses to help for fear that the boy's powers will reactivate and kill everyone there. Kitty considers having Rachel force the doctor to perform surgery but she is interrupted by another doctor who says that she will attempt to save the boy's life. She reveals that she was an anti-mutant protestor who's mind was changed after seeing Kitty and the other X-Men fight for human lives and well as those of mutants.
In 1940, despite the opposition of the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto (Keiju Kobayashi) and other officers, Japan signs the Tripartite Pact with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy as it prepares for expansion in Southeast Asia. Masato Odagiri, son of shipwright Takeichi Odgairi, graduates from the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy. A year later, his friend, Eiichi Hongo, is promoted to naval lieutenant.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, Eiichi is in the raid as part of a Val dive bomber crew from the aircraft carrier ''Zuikaku''. The raid is a success, but is tempered by the nonpresence of the American carrier fleet. In February 1942, the battleship ''Yamato'' is designated as Yamamoto's flagship, and Takeichi is drafted as a reservist. He is assigned to the ship as a launch pilot.
Not long afterwards, the American navy launches a counterstrike in the Doolittle Raid. Following this, Yamamoto orders a massive naval strike at the American-held island of Midway, but the Japanese carrier force is met and sunk by the US carriers. Several months later, after the Guadalcanal campaign, Yamamoto is assassinated as American pilots intercept and shoot down his plane. Eiichi returns home to Japan and marries his fiancée, but is soon recalled to participate in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Off Cape Engaño, the ''Zuikaku'' is sunk, and Eiichi is among the casualties as he had given his life jacket to Shinji, Masato's younger brother, who was assigned to the ship as a navigator. Elsewhere, the ''Yamato'', now serving as the flagship of Takeo Kurita's Center Force, withdraws from Leyte without having engaged in battle.
In April 1945, the ''Yamato'' is assigned to participate in Operation Ten-Go, a suicide mission to Okinawa. Shinji has also been reassigned to serve on the battleship. Masato, now a ''kamikaze'' pilot, is also due to participate, and asks Shinji to stay with Takeichi during the battle. As the ''Yamato'' and her accompanying fleet sails down to Okinawa, it is intercepted by American planes and sunk with a heavy loss of life. Shinji and Takeichi are both killed in battle. Masato observes the sinking, while contemplating on his own death. The film ends on a scene of Eiji's wife, child, and father playing on a beach as the credits roll.

He is found by a grouchy female named Groove, the sister of an alpha-female named Half Tusk, who walks off disgusted with life in her herd. Not exactly wholehearted, she still takes the orphan under her wing, 'till we find your herd', but fails to find his herd, or a new home with bulls (males) -who find him disrespectful and mouthy- or her own herd, who nickname the kid Whispers since his trumpeting is so weak. Meanwhile the fear for poachers and lions drives them north over the great river, a long and dangerous journey. Groove manages to save Whispers from a pride of lionesses one night.
After a harsh encounter another night with poachers this time, Groove manages to save Whispers from them but ends up fatally wounded in the morning by their gunshots. Whispers is able to find help from Groove's herd. But even the help of Half Tusk cannot save a poor dying Groove, so, Groove tells Whispers to continue the journey with her herd and without her while promising her to look after her herd.
After days of traveling, the elephant herd, with Whispers as the rear guard, finally reach the Great River, but their happiness is later cut short when the same poachers reappear. Whispers finally learns how to trumpet to warn the herd and they manage to give the hunters the slip by swimming in the river and getting to the other side of the river, with the exception of one named Princess, Half Tusk's somewhat spoiled and cynical daughter, who remains behind because of being stuck by a log in the water. Whispers is able to save Princess from the log and a hungry crocodile, then, he and Princess dive underwater while holding their breaths; making the poachers believe that they shot them.
Once the poachers are gone, Whispers and Princess resurface and join the rest of the herd. Half Tusk welcomes Whispers into the family as all the other elephants; including Princess now, accept him as before. Then, Princess notices an elephant on the other side of the river; thinking they "may have left behind", heading their way. Whispers and the herd call out for the new elephant to join them as Whispers trumpets again so as not to let the poachers see her.
Once the elephant reaches them, she asks if Whispers trumpeted like that and he says yes and asks why she is all alone. The elephant then tells him that his trumpet is that of a "strong heart". Whispers recognizes it as something his mother used to tell him and it is finally revealed that the elephant herself is actually his mother, who has been searching for him for a long time and who managed to escape the hunters at the beginning.
With Whispers happily reunited with his mother and both accepted in the elephant herd, they continue to live their lives and Whispers continues to learn more about the outside world as the story comes to end while stating that "it doesn't take the voices of giants to change the world. Sometimes, it can all start with a whisper."
The veterinarian Benningsen is called because of an urgent case on the Pferdegestüt Gut Lindenhof. There are problems with the mare Atalante. Benningsen is surprised to see Barbara Hessling. Both know each other from earlier, and their reunion clearly shows that the last time they left each other, there were problems.
Flashback. Dieter Benningsen and Barbara had met four years earlier when he had successfully worked as an obstetrician on one of their horses, Ariadne, whom she thought to be suffering from colic. The young foal is baptized by landowner Dahlen Atalante. Dahlen, who was friends with Barbara's father, gives her Atalante. The much older man seems to have (probably not only paternal) interest in the young woman. Barbara has already given Dieter her heart, but he must move to Hanover for a year to complete his veterinary studies there. Some time later, Dahlen invites Barbara to join Atalante for the Yearling Show. Also Dieter Benningsen appears there. While the guests attend the derby, Benningsen makes Barbara a marriage proposal, which she accepts. A little later, Atalante is successively trained to become a racehorse. Master jockey Hans Rönning even allows Barbara to do it herself. Finally, the first derby start for Atalante is imminent. In fact, Rönning can win the race with Atalante. As Barbara begins to devote more and more attention to her horse and racing, Benningsen is increasingly annoyed by the fact that his future wife apparently hardly knows any other topic. Benningsen announces to Barbara that they should not see each other for a while.
Meanwhile, a friend of Dahlens, Evelyn Nauman, who owns the strongest competition horse with "Hannibal", tries to sow intrigue with Barbara, who decides to train Atalante herself. Finally, in a pro race to a direct comparison between Atalante and Hannibal, Atalante barely wins. Too bad luck, Atalante pulls a little later a Sehnenzerrung, so Rönning refuses to lead the battered horse in the coming, big Derby. Instead, he plans to direct Hannibal. Barbara is disappointed. In this situation, the worn-out aging jockey Konny Schmidt offers to help Barbara, who hopes to be able to come out of his lows again. He says that you have to handle Atalante just right, then he could win with her tomorrow's derby. Barbara leaves Konny on her horse, although Dieter Bennigsen had urgently advised against it. Hannibal barely wins the race because Atalante begins to lame just before the finish. Barbara realizes that she has overwhelmed her horse, who probably can not run a race anymore. Dahlen offers to stay with Atalante at his stud farm. End of the flashback.
Again in the present time. Benningsen and Barbara spent the night with Atalante, who gave birth to a foal. Dieter and Barbara decide to try it again.

Aboard the colony ship reversing from the event horizon of a black hole, the Twelfth Doctor finds Bill has been converted into a Cyberman. The Master and Missy capture the Doctor, but he had earlier surreptitiously reprogrammed the Cybernet to target Time Lords as well, forcing them to flee. Nardole arrives in a commandeered shuttlecraft to rescue them. The Doctor is electrocuted by a Cyberman, but is saved by Bill.
They evacuate to a higher level of the ship containing a solar farm populated by children and a few adults fighting off early Cybermen prototypes. The Doctor recovers, but suppresses the early signs of regeneration. Bill initially remains unaware of her transformation, her strong mind acting like a perception filter, until one of the children inadvertently reveals the truth to her. Bill sheds a tear, which the Doctor calls a hopeful sign. Missy and the Master discover a camouflaged lift, a possible escape route. But when they call for it, an upgraded Cyberman arrives, which the group destroys. The Doctor warns that the time dilation affords the Cybermen more time to evolve and strategize.
Nardole discovers the floor directly below the solar farm contains fuel pipes. He is able to trigger controlled explosions, which are used to exaggerate the humans' defensive strength and defeat the Cybermen's initial attack. Knowing this ploy only delays their inevitable defeat, the Doctor instructs Nardole to lead the human community to a solar farm on another floor and remain there to safeguard them. Bill stays to fight with the Doctor. Despite the Doctor's impassioned plea, Missy and the Master abandon them, intending to take the lift to the lowest level and escape in the Master's TARDIS. Missy, however, changes her mind and stabs the Master, which will trigger his next regeneration. He retaliates by shooting her in the back with his laser screwdriver, telling her she will not regenerate. Both laugh over the irony of their mutual betrayal before the Master departs.
An army of Cybermen arrive, but are warded off by the Doctor until he falls after being shot. Surrounded, the Doctor ignites all the fuel pipes, engulfing the farm in a fireball and destroying or disabling the Cybermen. The Doctor lies still as Bill kneels beside him. She suddenly finds herself outside of her Cyberman body in her human form. Heather ("The Pilot") appears, having found Bill through her tears. She saves Bill by transforming her into an entity like herself. They leave the Doctor inside his TARDIS, and Heather invites Bill to explore the universe with her. Bill sheds tears for the Doctor before leaving with Heather.
The TARDIS arrives in a snowy landscape and the Doctor awakens, briefly dazed and confused. Refusing to keep continually changing, he emerges and seemingly stops his regeneration. Within, the cloister bell sounds an alarm as the Doctor encounters his original incarnation.
Missy mentions that the Doctor once died in a fall, referring to events in ''Logopolis'' (1981), in which one of her previous incarnations causes the Fourth Doctor to fall from a radio telescope tower.
During the final battle, the Doctor lists the various sites of his encounters with Cybermen: Mondas (''The Tenth Planet''), Telos (''The Tomb of the Cybermen''), Planet 14 (''The Invasion''), Voga (''Revenge of the Cybermen''), Canary Wharf ("Doomsday"), and the Moon (''The Moonbase''). He also mentions Marinus, a reference to the events of Grant Morrison's Sixth Doctor comic ''The World Shapers'', in which that planet's Voord evolve into Cybermen (though that story also suggests that Mondas, Planet 14, and Marinus are all the same planet).
Nardole tells the farming community to "Remember the Alamo" as they shore up the farmhouse's defences. The Alamo Mission was overrun by General Santa Anna's troops in 1836, and "Remember the Alamo!" became a rallying cry for the independent troops which later defeated the Mexican Army to form the Republic of Texas.
Missy calls the human community "the Waltons", a reference to the American TV series ''The Waltons'', a show about a farming family with several children during the Great Depression.

HairCo. is a megacorporation run by Wallace Eastman (Terrence Stone) that specializes in improving people's hair. His helicopter chases after a scientist named Dr. Harrison who escapes by jumping into a river.
12 years later, a young boy named Adam Harrison (Pappy Faulkner) the son of Dr. Harrison, lives with his mother, Shelly but keeps being harassed by the local bullies Tony (Yuri Lowenthal), Dale (Nicholas Marj), and Garcia (Barry D. Buckner) for being unjustly judged by other students and being the mutual crush of a kindhearted girl named Emma (Shylo Summer). Over time, he also notices that strange things start happening to him, like his feet growing bigger so his toes stick out of his shoes and that his hair growing right back over night even after his mother gave it a complete chop.
After discovering not only the fact that his father is alive, but also his current location from a box his mother Shelly (Marieve Herington) had kept hidden, Adam sets out on an epic and daring quest to uncover the mystery behind his long-lost dad only to find out that he is none other than the legendary Bigfoot (Christopher L. Parsons) who has been hiding deep in the forest for years to protect himself and his family from Eastman who is eager to run scientific experiments with his special DNA. What neither of them knew was that a truck driver named Fat Dan (Jeff Doucette) had nearly run over Adam. Bigfoot saved Adam, but Fat Dan got some footage of it and put it in the newspaper.
Adam discovers that he too is gifted with superpowers similar to his dad, like having large feet, supersonic hearing, running at incredible speeds and speaking to animals like Tina the squirrel (Sandy Fox), Trapper the raccoon (Joe Ochman), his wife Weecha (Laila Berzins), Wilbur the bear (Michael Sorich), and Steve the woodpecker (Joe J. Thomas).
Meanwhile, Eastman heard about the sighting, and although reluctant follows the traces to Bigfoot. In order to draw out Adam, Eastman arranges for his mother's car to be intercepted by a road block agent (Grant George). The men roam the forest to search for more evidence. After Adam is apprehended, he sends them to a false site, where they fail greatly. This results using Adam as bait to lure Bigfoot, ending with Bigfoot being captured.
Eastman and his scientist Dr. Billingsley (Alan Shearman) begin their experiment on Bigfoot who Eastman recognizes as Dr. Harrison. The hair sample is tested on Dr. Billingsley's usual intern (Brody Hessin) who asks Dr. Billingsley to sign his volunteer paper. The sample causes the intern to grow extraordinarily long hair all over his body. With the help of the animals, Adam rescues his father, leading to the destruction of the HairCo. facility. Eastman is tranquilized by Shelly as Bigfoot states that he is done with hiding. Dr. Billingsley crawls out of the wreckage as his intern tries to get him to sign his volunteer paper.
Bigfoot returns home and the animals have taken to living with the family. A magazine cover shows that Wallace Eastman has been arrested for his illegal activities. On his way to school, Adam's bullies attempt to haze him again. Having gone on his journey, Adam calmly tells them that he's finally had enough and kindly asks to be left alone. When they refuse to comply, Adam summons his animal buddies who scare them into leaving him alone while secretly dismantling their bikes and skateboard to make them crash to further punish them for their previous harassing of Adam which the latter sees and laughs at. Adam dismisses his animal friends as Emma spots the scene and asks about it. Adam asks if she would walk with him to school and she agrees while he begins to explain his life to her.

A Roman Catholic priest, Father Damon, murders a man outside a castle-like estate on an island in upstate New York. The man he kills claims to be Lucifer himself, and promises to return. Decades later, in 1963, Andrew Williams is born. After his mother is paralyzed under mysterious circumstances, Andrew's father realizes something is peculiar about his son, eventually coming to the realization that Andrew is the son of Lucifer. As a senior in high school, Andrew is academically brilliant, but withdrawn and socially awkward, and as a result is often bullied by his peers. Andrew feels drawn to the estate where Father Damon committed the murder, which is due for demolition for an impending golf course.
At school one day, one of Andrew's tormentors, Tony, attempts to harass him in the gym shower. Overcome by strange powers, Tony kisses him in front of their peers. The event leaves Tony hysterical, and he leaves, terrified of Andrew. Later, Andrew is notified that he has received scholarships to several Ivy League colleges, including Yale and Harvard, but is insouciant to the news. Meanwhile, a local elderly woman, Margaret, visits Father Daly at his parish, and discusses Damon, whom she knew personally; Father Daly insists Damon wrongly murdered the man, though Margaret believes he was in fact Lucifer, and Father Damon, a manifestation of the archangel Raphael. One of Margaret's few friends is actually Andrew's father, the local mailman, who always talks to her when he makes his deliveries. He insists that Father Damon was a good man and a good priest, and that the town did him a disservice by convicting him.
During a gym class, one of Andrew's classmates, Mark, inexplicably suffers ruptured organs during a dodgeball game and dies. Mark's girlfriend, Julie, is distraught, and shortly after begins having bizarre visions of Andrew raping her. She later hears voices calling her Gabrielle (a feminization of archangel Gabriel), and is directed to Margaret's home by the disembodied voice of Father Damon. Margaret appoints Julie her protégé to battle Andrew.
On the night of a school dance, Andrew arrives at the castle estate and invokes Leviathan and Beelzebub, and summons the undead from grave sites on the property. At a local bar, Andrew's father drunkenly raves about his son being the devil before returning home and shooting his wife in the head. Simultaneously, a group from the school is showing an outdoor play retelling the life of Jesus. During the scene of the crucifixion, the actor onstage playing Jesus begins exhibiting real stigmata, causing the audience to flee in horror.
On the island, a group of teenagers arrive to party after the dance, including Tony, his girlfriend Marie, Brenda, and others. After arriving at the castle, they are accosted by the undead. Marie is killed, and Tony and Brenda flee to an upstairs room, where Tony finds he has inexplicably developed breasts. Andrew enters the room and kisses him, after which Tony stabs himself to death to avoid getting raped. Andrew carries Brenda outside and lays her on an altar, where he stabs her to death.
Margaret and Julie arrive on the scene, brandishing Father Damon's processional cross, which causes Andrew to recoil. Margaret forces Andrew to recite the Lord's Prayer, and he transforms into Mark, tricking Julie. Margaret intervenes, and he kills her by breaking her neck. Julie watches as Andrew transforms into Lucifer, but is able to defeat him with the power of Father Damon's crucifix. The spirits of Julie, Father Damon, and Margaret—the three archangels—coalesce, as Andrew is engulfed and destroyed in a beam of a light.

Chuck plays Jimmy's confession to Howard, who questions its value since it will not make Mesa Verde return to HHM, and the way it was elicited prevents using it in court, but Chuck assures him the recording has a use. Chuck later asks Ernesto to change the recorder's batteries, and Ernesto hears part of the recording. Chuck compels Ernesto to promise not to repeat what he heard.

While home, Wistin catches Shaw standing outside of his home and goes out to investigate. Shaw claims to be interested in buying a boat Wistin had displayed in the front of his home for sale. The boat was Wistin's father's that he was given when his father could no longer care for it. The two enter Wistin's home to discuss the price of the boat while the CIA track down Shaw as the source of a leak that privately exposed Wistin and the top secret work he and others do as contract drone operators.
While having dinner with the Wistins, it is revealed through dinner table conversation that it is the one-year anniversary of the death of Shaw's wife and daughter at the hands of a drone operator—who is implicitly implied to have been Wistin. Receiving a call, Wistin excuses himself to his office, where he learns of the leak. Wistin then asks for the details of his work one year prior to the date. This information confirms Wistin's suspicions about who Shaw really is and what he is there for.
Confronting Shaw in private, Wistin makes a motion to call the police. However, Shaw pulls out what is believed to be a bomb detonator, claiming to have a drone missile worth of explosives in the briefcase he brought with him and placed on the kitchen table where Wistin's wife and son are. Shaw threatens to detonate the bomb unless Wistin cooperates with Shaw and reveals to his family what his actual, classified job description is. Wistin complies and then Shaw reveals the affair Wistin's wife is having with another man to him.
The CIA, having tracked Shaw to Wistin's home, surround the house with an armed team and prepare to assassinate Shaw; however, they are blocked from doing so when Wistin and Shaw get into a brawl. Shaw – dropping the detonator – is stabbed several times by Wistin. As Shaw lies dying on the ground, Wistin discovers that there had been no bomb at all and realizes what he has done. Shaw dies and Wistin, a changed man, reveals his top secret work as a contract drone operator for the CIA. Some hail him a hero, while others condemn him a traitor.
A collection of short stories. The first story, which is the title story (''When the Nines Roll Over''), is about a jaded hipster record executive who is trying to steal a talented and sexy young singer away from a small label. The other stories are varied, ranging from the tale of a young soldier ordered to execute an elderly woman to a drama about a lovesick young man's decision to secretly scatter his girlfriend's father's ashes.
Lafcadio Boone, a preacher, wakes up during the yearly party that Lucas Bondes hosts in his casino mansion. A mysterious woman, called the Bloody Girl, has given Boone a mask that has ripped him out of an ongoing time loop that the rest of the other party members are stuck in over a 12-hour period, reliving their deaths over and over again. She has also given Boone a broken watch, that when the timer reaches the hour of 5, the day resets. Boone's task is to save the other party goers from their gruesome deaths before they happen by learning different ways over the 12 hour period by discovering clues, recipes, or items. The first man he saves, Sixpence, takes the watch and fixes it so that the full 12 hours of the day become available. Boone then sets out to prevent the other deaths. Upon saving these other party goers, they remove their masks, talk to Boone to show they know him in some way. Boone then takes each mask, absorbing the powers they hold and giving him the means to save the other members and advance in the mansion.
After several party-goers have been saved, The Gold Skull, a man in a golden skull mask seemingly content on letting the actions play out, reveals himself as the instigator of the time loop. He reveals that the deaths that Boone has been preventing over the course of the 12 hour time loop, were created by the Gold Skull as a means to punish Boone. Both Gold Skull and Lafcadio are revealed to be aspects of Lucas Bondes, who previously had inadvertently caused the deaths of all at the party as part of an insurance scheme by destroying the casino. The player can choose to either relive their punishment, resulting in replaying the final scenes again, or for Lucas to forgive himself and move on, ending the game.
A secret ending can be acquired by collecting a deck of 52 cards scattered through the game and giving them to a demon at a hidden 'Old Habits' room of the casino. Doing so results in the casino going back to normal with the members alive. The player then approaches a decorated window and shatters it, bringing the party to a halt.

''He and She'' revolves around the Herford family composed of Tom, Ann, and Millicent. Other characters include Ruth Creel, Ann's friend; Keith, Tom's assistant who is engaged to Ruth; Ann's father Dr. Remington; and Tom's sister Daisy who lives with the Herfords. The first act of the play is set in the sculpting studio in their house in New York City. At the beginning of the play, Tom has a frieze that he is entering into a contest. Ann thinks she can do better and enters the competition with a piece of her own. At the same time, Keith and Ruth constantly argue about marriage because Keith wants a traditional, domestic wife while Ruth wants to continue working. In act 2 (set in their living room), they nervously wait for the results of the competition. During the waiting, Ruth breaks off her engagement with Keith. When the results come, everyone starts congratulating Tom, until they find out that Tom really isn't the winner, Ann is. This causes strife between her and Tom. Ann's father is furious that she did this to her husband. To make matters worse, Millicent comes home suddenly from boarding school. In act 3, the conflicts between the characters escalate. It is revealed that Millicent has run away from school because she is engaged to the school's chauffeur. Ann believes that the only way to prevent this marriage is to give up her own sculpture to spend more time with her daughter, asking Tom to make her frieze for her. "He and She, pits a daughter's need for maternal care against her mother's passionate desire to fulfill her artistic ambition."Gottlieb, Lois C. Rachel Crothers. Vol. Tusas 322. Boston: Twayne, 1979. Print. Twayne's United States Author Ser.
"The setting of Crother's three-act drama, a spacious old New York home, externalizes the ideal of Tom and Ann Herford, both sculptors, to forge an egalitarian marriage, free of the limitations of the stereotyped masterful male and the submissive female. Each has a studio in the basement of the home where Act One is set. Its ceiling is raised to double height to accommodate the couples's work, and to signal, perhaps, their less-confined domestic horizons."
"Millicent, the Herfords' 16 year old daughter, goes to boarding school and when she is home for holidays she is obliged to respect Ann's need to work- something her father enforces. As the play progresses, however, and conflicts begin to restrict Ann's sphere, the setting enhances the play's theme."
"The play is simply plotted around events which cause Ann to reevaluate her life as an artist. Two subplots, following the conflicts of two other women characters, enrich our understanding of Ann's conflict between her public aspirations and private duties and broaden the spectrum of women's dilemmas. at the end of Act One, Ann decides to enter a sculpture competition for which Tom is also vying, and although her decision surprises him, Tom eventually supports her move. The act ends with the couple shaking hands. When Ann wins the $100,00 prize, and Tom places second, his opposition to her mounts and reaches a climax near the end of Act Two. He accuses Ann of being dominated by ambition and selfishness, and he demands that she take up full-time domestic duties. Ann refuses him, while recognizing the danger to their marriage. The act ends, however, on Millicent's unexpected arrival from boarding school and her refusal to return. In Act 3, Ann finally learns that Millicent's hysteria and stubbornness are related to her romance with the boarding school chauffeur. Millicent announces her decision to marry the man, but it is clear to Ann that Millicent has come home out of a need to be guided in her confusion. Ann blames herself for Millicent's trouble because, during a holiday period when Ann was working on the frieze, Millicent stayed at school and obviously responded to the man out of loneliness. Once Ann becomes convinced that she alone can help Millicent, she decides to take her to Europe, and asks Tom to complete her sculpture."
A spaceship captain chooses between going about their daily routine or "unleashing rat chaos."
A scientist creates a living creature called a ''Homunculus'' (a Latin word which means ''little man'') in a laboratory, and the creature strives to find love. When it discovers it is unable to feel emotions, it goes on a rampage and starts creating havoc in a nearby German village. Although it looks human, it is a soulless being. The scientist hunts down the creature in an attempt to destroy his creation. The theme of an artificially created being turning against its creator is also similar to the ''Golem'' films of Paul Wegener and the silent film versions of Henrik Galeen's ''Alraune''.
While working for a Korean film distribution company at the Cannes Film Festival, Jeon Man-hee is pressured to quit her job after her boss, Nam Yang-hye, tells her that she no longer trusts Man-hee, refusing to elaborate on why she feels this way. In fact, the firing took place because she had sex with director So Wan-soo during the festival. Man-hee decides to remain in Cannes for the time being.
Claire, a French teacher who has traveled to Cannes with a friend to attend a screening of her film, has a chance encounter with Director So at a cafe. She brings him to a local library and teaches him to recite a French poem. Although not a professional artist, Claire is an avid photographer who takes photos with her instant camera. While at dinner with So and Yang-hye, she shares her photos, including a photo she took earlier the same day of Man-hee. So and Yang-hye are confused at the circumstances of the photo, particularly why Man-hee is wearing more makeup than usual. Later, after Claire has left, it is revealed that So and Yang-hye have a romantic relationship, possibly contributing to Man-hee’s firing. So ends the relationship, claiming that he wants to ensure that their business relationship is not jeopardized.
Later, Claire meets Man-hee after taking her photo at the beach. During their conversation, Claire mentions that she has never eaten Korean food; Man-hee offers to cook for her. Man-hee brings Claire back to the apartment hotel she is staying at with her coworkers, where they share a meal. Claire shares about her encounter with So and Yang-hye, leading Man-hee to understand the circumstances of her dismissal.
Man-hee again meets So by chance at a hotel, who accosts her for her clothing. Claire, who is also there, takes a photo of Man-hee, upsetting her. Man-hee later brings Claire to the cafe where her firing took place. Claire takes a photo of Man-hee, telling her that she takes photos because the only way to change things is to “look at everything again, very slowly.” Claire shares with Man-hee about the death of her boyfriend months prior. Yang-hye comes to Man-hee’s apartment to meet with her. While their conversation is not depicted, Man-hee is seen back at work.
Several years after he spent four years in prison for drug dealing, during which time he has studied business administration and gotten married, Kurdish-German Nuri Şekerci lives happily with his German wife, Katja, and their six-year-old son, Rocco. One day, Katja drops Rocco off at Nuri's office, a small travel agency in Hamburg, so she can spend the afternoon with a friend. Heading out, she warns a young blonde woman leaving her new bicycle in front of the store that it will get stolen if she doesn't lock it up. When Katja returns that night she finds the street blocked off after a nail bomb detonated, killing Nuri and Rocco. Distraught, Katja tells the police about the woman with the bike and comes to believe the attack to be the work of Neo-Nazis.
The police rule out a Jihadist motive as Nuri was neither religious nor political and initially focus on revenge by drug traffickers, though they release a composite sketch of the blonde woman. After Katja declines Nuri's parents' request to bury the bodies in Turkey, Nuri's mother coldly informs her at the funeral that her grandson would still be alive if Katja had been a better mother. Devastated, Katja uses drugs and later attempts suicide by slashing her wrists, but changes her mind after hearing a voicemail from her lawyer Danilo Fava stating that two Neo-Nazi suspects, married couple André and Edda Möller, have been caught.
At the Möller trial, André's father, disgusted with his son's actions, testifies how he found bags of nails, fertilizer, and diesel in the garage. The defense argues that another party could have gained access to the garage through a hidden key. Forensics match the bomb to the material found in the garage, which bears fingerprints from the couple and an unknown individual, who could have been a store employee but who the defense claims could have been the real culprit. Nikolaos Makris, a Greek hotel owner, claims the Möllers were staying in Greece at the time of the bombing. It is revealed he is a member of the far-right party Golden Dawn and the Möllers liked Facebook photos of him at a rally in Germany. Katja testifies about seeing Edda outside the office but the defense calls her testimony into question by pointing out her drug use. Unable to dispel reasonable doubt, the court acquits the couple.
Alerted to their location via a Facebook update, Katja searches for the Möllers in Greece by finding Makris' hotel. Katja follows Makris and finds the Möllers living in an RV on the beach. She builds a nail bomb and plants it under the vehicle in a backpack before changing her mind and retrieving it. After a few days' contemplation, she returns to the beach and sees the Möllers enter the RV. After a few moments, she enters wearing the backpack and detonates the bomb, killing herself and the Möllers.
In the early 1990s, a group of HIV/AIDS activists associated with the Paris chapter of ACT UP struggle to effect action to fight the AIDS epidemic. While the French government has declared its intent to support HIV/AIDS sufferers, ACT UP stages public protests against their sluggish pace, accusing the government of censoring and minimizing the fight against the virus. When the pharmaceutical company Melton Pharm announces its plans to reveal its HIV trial results at a prominent pharmaceutical conference the following year, ACT UP invades its offices with fake blood and demands it release its trial results immediately. While ACT UP makes some headway with its public protests, its members fiercely debate the group's strategy, with conflicting goals of showmanship and persuasion, with conflicting aesthetics of positivity and misery. ACT UP struggles to plan a more effective Gay Pride parade than in previous years, bemoaning the depressing, "zombie" atmosphere the AIDS epidemic had created.
The film shows a number of large meetings in a lecture theatre where the radical element demand more direct action and others aim to bring the scientists to meetings where they can get them to communicate results sooner. A deaf person points out they can do direct action AND pursue meetings with the labs. But soon some radicals have attacked Helene, the mother of a teenager who contracted HIV through blood transfusion. Helene had pushed for politicians to be tried and jailed for their mishandling of blood screening (which is how her son got HIV). To some this is against ACT-UP principles as prison is an unsafe place where people get HIV. The group always seem to be arguing.
The film gradually shifts from the political storyline of ACT UP's actions to the personal stories of ACT UP members. Foreshadowing later events in the movie, Jeremie, a youth who lives with HIV in the group sees his health deteriorate rapidly. Per his wishes, the group parades in the streets after his death, putting his name and face to the ranks of AIDS victims. Newcomer Nathan, a gay man who doesn't live with HIV, begins to fall in love with the passionate veteran Sean, who is HIV-positive. Nathan and Sean start a sexual relationship, and discuss their sexual histories. Sean got HIV when he was sixteen from his married maths teacher. Sean is already exhibiting signs of the disease's progression and soon his T-cell count is down to 160. Nathan offers to care for Sean as he gets worse. When Sean is released from hospital to Nathan's apartment for end-of-life care, Nathan euthanizes him. ACT UP holds a wake at their home. As per Sean's wishes, later they invade a health insurance conference, throwing his ashes over the conference-goers and their food.
Auguste Rodin has become among the most celebrated sculptors in the world at the turn of the century and continues to win commissions for major sculptures such as ''Monument to Balzac'', ''The Kiss'', ''The Burghers of Calais'', and ''The Gates of Hell''. His career has progressed to the point where he keeps a major studio operating with multiple students and many models constantly in the studio as he progresses on his current projects. Though a significant success artistically, Rodin's personal life has suffered setbacks. His relationship with his wife has become colder over the years and Rodin takes up a relationship with a younger female sculptor who fills an emotional emptiness which he experiences with his wife.
Rodin goes to visit Honore Balzac to discuss making a life-size sculpture of the prominent French author. His original conception is to see the author as a primal literary figure whom he envisions as standing in a heroic posture and in the nude. As his conceptual drawings for the sculpture progress, Rodin then takes up the preliminary design of the molding structures which will support the sculpture which will grow to its full size as it progresses toward completion. Rodin does not have the benefit of Balzac as a live model for the sculpture and relies on a pregnant model posing in the nude in the heroic pose which Rodin wished to use for the sculpture. Rodin uses the increased mass of the pregnancy to mimick the somewhat oversized girth which Balzac's overweight figure obtained in older age. Meanwhile, his female sculpture assistant, Camille Claudel, confronts him about the prospects of their relationship which has become explicitly intimate, and Rodin tells her that she occupies an unrivaled place in his affections. She confronts him in order for him to sign a paper stating his intentions to leave his wife and marry her which Rodin agrees to do and signs before her eyes.
Rodin's wife is conscious of the fact that her husband is less than faithful and that their relationship has grown colder with the years and with her rapidly diminishing attractiveness and loss of youth. Rodin is uncommunicative about the issue and feels that he should live as if in an open marriage. He continues his relationship with the female sculptor and his wife begins to gather information about his mistress apparently with a mind to confronting her about the realities of Rodin's personal life and family. When the Balzac statue reaches its subsequent stages of completion, Rodin calls the commissioning parties to do a preliminary review of the statue. Their response is unanimously negative and stark in its disapproval. Before them they see an oversized and almost grotesquely obese version of the celebrated French author. The commissioning parties are especially disturbed by the prominently featured male organs which Rodin spent special effort to prominently display. There is no question left in the mind of the reviewers that the statue is to be fully rejected as both poorly conceived by Balzac and poorly executed. Balzac is deeply disturbed by the review though he remains silent through much of the criticism.
His wife has discovered the address of where Balzac's female sculptor friend is staying and goes to confront her. The meeting sours very quickly with verbal animosity overcoming both the wife and the mistress as they try to face each other down. They part company in a high state of distress, and Rodin's mistress then later confronts Rodin about his promises to her about starting a new life with her and leaving his wife. Rodin contemplates for a further moment and states that an ultimatum at this time does not work him or for his career and he decides that they must part ways. Although Rodin remains profligate in his sexual openness with his other models, he still nonetheless at least partially reconciles with his wife and the two continue to make their home together.
Rodin's contemplation about the Balzac statue has been ponderous and one day in his studio he gets help from one of his students to immerse an oversized men's overcoat into a clay bath in order to fully drench it in the wet composite of clay in order to prepare its application. Rodin decides that he will apply the wet clay overcoat by draping over the shoulders of the nude Balzac statue, thereby covering the original nudity of the preliminary pose of the statue and fully covering over the nude male organs which had offended the commissioning parties at the time of the first review. He allows the draped coat to dry and the completed statue takes its final form which he keeps in his country garden in his home outside of town away from his studio. As the film ends, the statue is seen years later in Japan where it is displayed in the Museum of the Open Air (Hakone Open-Air Museum) for the public to contemplate and admire.
Masako (Ayame Misaki) creates movie audio descriptions. Her passion and her commitment to her work leads her to create scripts full of colors and textures in order to make them as accessible as possible to blind audiences. She tests it on a group of 10 blind people. At one of the pre-premiere screenings, she meets Masaya (Masatoshi Nagase), a renowned photographer who gradually loses his sight and ability to practice his craft. Masaya's strong character makes him the only one to firmly criticize her scripts. He helps Masako see the coldness of her careful descriptions. Despite the differences that arise between them, both manage to create a strong relationship that allows them to explore a world previously invisible to their eyes. In the last scene of the film, the old man struggles to climb a small dune, at the top he stops facing the setting sun. This reflects the message transmitted by his impassive face without imposing a vision on the viewer.
A woman lives alone on the outskirts of a village in Russia. One day she receives a parcel she had sent to her incarcerated husband, marked 'return to sender'. Shocked and confused, the woman has no choice but to travel to the prison in a remote region of the country in search of an explanation. So begins the story of a battle against this impenetrable fortress, the prison where the forces of social evil are constantly at work. Braving violence and humiliation, in the face of all opposition, our protagonist embarks on a blind quest for justice.
Aryan Dashni from Homs, Syria, and his father are part of a group of refugees trying to cross the Hungarian border via boat. During the border crossing, Aryan and his father lose their papers and are separated when the group is discovered by a border guard unit and chaos ensues. Aryan is shot several times by police officer László, but instead of dying he mysteriously obtains the power to levitate. When he falls back down to earth he is apprehended and brought to the hospital ward of the closest refugee camp.
Gábor Stern is a doctor who works at the hospital ward of the refugee camp. He worked at a normal hospital before, but one night when drunk he made a mistake during surgery which killed an aspiring young athlete; he lost his job at the hospital and was sued by the victim's family. He is now trying to obtain enough money to bribe the family to drop their lawsuit. He does this by selling medical referrals to refugees which let them go from the camp to a hospital in Budapest from where they can flee. His girlfriend Vera, a doctor at the hospital, is in on the scheme.
Gábor is seen selling one of the referrals to a refugee who had been in Aryan's group and who uses the name of Aryan's father, using the documents he had stolen from the Dashnis during the chaotic border crossing. It is also shown that Aryan's father is one of the many refugees who drowned during the border crossing. When Gábor comes to the ward and tries to examine Aryan, he begins to levitate again. Shocked and fascinated, Gábor helps Aryan flee the camp and makes him an offer: Gábor will bring Aryan to Budapest, where he will play a spiritual healer and use Aryan as an assistant who will show off his new talents to impress their patients/victims. They will share the money earned, and once they made enough money Gábor will help Aryan find his father.
The first healing sessions are successful and they make a lot of money. But László, who also knows about Aryan's abilities, is closely following both using the help of the police forces. They manage to escape the police several times with the help of Vera.
When Aryan goes to the illicit refugee camp at Budapest Keleti railway station, where his father had told him to meet up in case they were separated, he notices the other refugee who stole their papers. That other refugee is part of a terrorist plot to bomb the Budapest Metro. When Aryan follows the terrorist, Gábor loses contact with him. Both Aryan and the terrorist enter a subway, and seconds later the bomb that the terrorist is carrying explodes, killing dozens of people, although Aryan is not wounded badly. He leaves the subway and floats to the roof of a nearby apartment building, being watched by a shocked woman.
After losing Aryan, thinking he has died, and finding out that Aryan's father has died, Gábor feels deep remorse for exploiting Aryan. He goes to the family of the man his medical malpractice killed and gives them his money as a bribe. When they refuse the money, he sincerely asks for forgiveness for his mistake and leaves.
When he returns to the place of the terrorist attack, he overhears a woman who prays for an "angel" who "flew to the sky". Gábor correctly deduces that Aryan floated onto the roof of a building and finds him there. Gábor tells him that his father has died, they embrace, and Gábor brings Aryan back to the hospital to tend to his wounds, asking Vera for help again. But since the terrorist used the Dashnis' papers, everyone now believes Aryan to be one of the terrorists. Vera calls the police. Gábor and Aryan manage to flee after a car chase and after Aryan uses his abilities again.
They take refuge in a hotel. When Gábor goes out to get help from a medic, he is betrayed and is apprehended by László. He tells the police where they can find Aryan, and he is brought to the hotel. Once inside the hotel's elevator, Gábor tries to escape but is knocked down by Laszlo, who continues on alone to Aryan's room. Laszlo apprehends Aryan and brings him down to the hotel lobby, but Gabor manages to overpower a policeman and takes his gun, holding him hostage. This allows Aryan to get away from Laszlo, but Gabor is shot. In the elevator, they use a cigarette to set off the fire alarm, and Gabor tells Ayran to get to a fire escape and fly away. When Aryan is cornered in a hotel hallway by László, Gábor arrives just in time to threaten László with a gun and give Aryan time to jump through a window and float away. Gábor dies and László runs to the window to shoot Aryan, but he lowers his weapon after hesitating. The final scene shows hundreds of people looking to the sky in amazement.
The film begins with David still king of Israel. His sons Adonijah and Solomon are fierce rivals because both are prospective heirs to the throne. Adonijah challenges Solomon to chariot race during a hunting expedition, which Solomon wins because Adonijah loses control of his chariot.
King David is aged and sickly, and announces that Solomon is the rightful heir to the throne over Israel. King David announces and ordinates Solomon as king in sight of the people.
Shortly after, King David dies and Solomon gives the order for Adonijah to be killed, who also was in an attempt to usurp the throne from Solomon. After this, God comes to Solomon in a dream and Solomon asks God to grant him wisdom that he may guide Israel well. God grants this desire to him.
With his newfound wisdom, Solomon proceeds to build the Temple of God in Jerusalem, according to the architectural plans that his father David had left behind. Soon after the Temple is successfully constructed, things begin to take a downward turn. Solomon begins to take more wives in direct violation of the Mosaic Law.
The Queen of Sheba makes a royal visit to Jerusalem. Solomon meets her and becomes infatuated with her. Solomon courts and impregnates her and aspires to make her his royal Queen, to the priests’ and council’s displeasure.
The story continues as Solomon’s ego and power-drunken attitude cause things in his kingdom to spiral out of control.
Valeria (Ana Valeria Becerril), 17, is pregnant. She lives in Puerto Vallarta, with Clara (Joanna Larequi), her half sister, who is calm, but lives with depression and is overweight. Valeria does not want her mother, April (Emma Suárez), who has been absent for a long time, to know about her pregnancy but, due to economic limitations and the overwhelming responsibility of having a baby at home, Clara decides to call her mother. April arrives with a great desire to see her daughters, but we soon see why Valeria did not want to get in touch with her. It is "the story of an adult woman who refuses to feel 'overtaken' by her own daughters in generational terms, without realising that she has been left behind in more important aspects, such as emotional and psychological, among others."
This film shows the tragedy of women whose sons enlist in the Jihad. They are part of very distant worlds: Angela is a well-known writer, a rich widow who never remarried after her husband's death. She dedicated her life to her son, Sean, and to her writing. They live in Italy. Fatima is a Moroccan who emigrated very young with her husband Khalid. Their children Taarik and Nadia, are born in England. Taarik is an accomplished sportsman and very good in his studies. Both Sean and Taarik feel that the Western world doesn't correspond to their aspirations of absolute, of idealism and holiness. Omar, a Syrian who comes often to visit their campus at the British university where they both study, is in reality a recruiter for ISIS. He creates an Islamic confraternity and invites the two young men to be part of it. Sean and Taarik are fascinated by Omar, who shows them propaganda trailers and gives them books with the Prophet's sayings. But more to the point he gives them rules, a thing the young men need, but they don't find in the Western society, where neither the school, nor the family are able anymore to give rules, but only “weak thought” and destructive politically correct notions. The two young men decide to go to Syria. But here their paths diverge dramatically. While Taarik finds what he was looking for and aspires to become a martyr, Sean is disappointed to find out that the women are treated like merchandise and that the “movement” makes money with drugs. Despite the fact that he converts to Islam, his critical attitude towards the actions of the man he admired so much, bothers Omar, who decides that Sean (whose new name is Farid) will never be a good Muslim. In the meanwhile, the two mothers live their private hell, questioned by the anti-terrorist police, fired from their jobs, abandoned by their friends and families. All that because of the decision their sons have taken. Their friendship starts at the support group organized by Doctor Diana Fortis, where they meet other parents in their situation.
On a building, Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) catches a professor in a lab and holds him at gunpoint. He then makes him questions about riddles but the professor fails at every question he makes. Nygma then ties him and reveals he has killed people before and that while he knows who he is, he does not know how to be himself. When the professor fails again at the riddles, Nygma ignites the lab with gas tanks and leaves, killing the professor.
In the Court, Kathryn (Leslie Hendrix) ends Five's (David Mazouz) brainwashing practice, and calls Frank (James Remar) to ensure Gordon's (Ben McKenzie) cooperation with the Court. In Dahl Manor, Nygma has begun taking pills, which causes him to have hallucinations of Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), who torments him for his behavior.

He then concludes that he just needs an enemy and he has just found it: Jim Gordon.
Bullock (Donal Logue) is informed by Fox (Chris Chalk) about the recent killings, finding they all belonged to Gotham's intellectual and artistic elite but he is rejected as they have to focus on more important issues surrounding the city. A man in a fruit suit arrives at the GCPD and gives Bullock and Fox a card with a clue for the next target. The card contains a pattern that signals to the Knight's Tour, a chess exhibit. Nygma is already waiting for Gordon but finds that the person who solved the clue is no one but Fox. He then turns on a device that electrocutes the participants. Fox then solves a clue in the chess parts to find a phone number, calling Nygma. Fox tries to solve it but Nygma refuses, giving him the message, "Tomorrow, when the pawn's on queen, you'll find my next target in the belly of the beast." Bullock and Fox then interrogate Winston Peters (H. Foley), a man who works in a pawn shop in Queens Avenue. Peters admits he was covering for an employee named Teddy Thirio.

She learns the music scores, mimics her facial expression, but, as Brigitte does and more and more of it, she gradually merges with the character. The director is also preparing to shoot the film: he studies archival footage and painstakingly selects the music. He is inspired and even possessed—but with Barbara or with her new incarnation?
Matthew and Carrie, a couple, are talking and unpacking food in the kitchen for Christmas dinner at Matthew's parent's house. Matthew can sense Carrie is upset with something. He pushes for her to say what is on her mind. Carrie says she thinks Sheena, Matthew's sister-in-law, faked laughing at her joke. Matthew explains that it was sincere. Carrie asks what she shouldn't say to make Matthews family upset. Matthew tells Carrie to be less vulgar. Carrie overacts and is angry at Matthew at the end of scene one.
The "rules for living" are introduced to the story.
'''''Rule 1: Matthew must sit to tell a lie.'''''
In the beginning of scene two, Matthew and Carrie make up. Carrie discloses to Matthew she is just nervous about being with his family for the Christmas holiday. Matthew consoles her, while sitting, by saying she'll fit in with his family. Shortly after, they are joined by Sheena, and she says there is still more to be done in preparation for dinner. Sheena and Matthew share jokes which makes Carrie uncomfortable for not being in on the jokes. Near the end of the scene, Sheena discloses she would rather be in this household for Christmas than her own home.
'''''Rule 2: Carrie must stand to tell a joke.'''''
Sheena and Matthew set the table for dinner and discuss Matthew's role as the Major General in ''the Pirates of Penzance.'' Sheena remembers seeing Carrie on a fictional period drama, only to have mistaken her for the wrong character. Carrie covers the awkwardness by telling a story of a bad audition. Adam enters having returned home from the market with the wrong milk for his daughter. Sheena is upset.
'''''Rule 3: Sheena must drink to contradict.'''''
Sheena and Adam move on from their small argument. Adam shares his father's beer with the family where it is announced that Sheena has laid off drinking and Adam has actually cut back on smoking. This comes as a surprise to Matthew. A conversation about Francis is cut short when Adam and Sheena begin arguing on whether or not they should stay the night at his parents’ house for Christmas. Edith enters having just returned home from church. She goes over what is left to do in preparations for dinner where she finds that her children and their partners have done things wrong. As the family moves their attention to the tasks at hand and the liquor, Carrie announces Matthew has been made partner at his firm.
'''''Rule 4: Adam must affect an accent to mock.'''''
After hearing the partnership news, Edith wonders how Matthew could become partner at such a young age while Adam still hasn't at his age. Adam, irritated, is forced to share news of his article and is reminded how good of a lawyer he would have made. Adam takes on an accent and says, "I'd have hated to be a famous cricketer- it would've been a real drag!" Matthew asks about the state of his father's health which Edith says is fine. Edith pushes the family to work faster and tells Sheena she hasn't put enough place settings out for lunch; Sheena has forgotten a place for her daughter, but Emma isn't joining them for the meal.
'''''Rule 5: Edith must clean to keep calm.'''''
Shocked her granddaughter isn't joining them, Edith begins to clean and guilt trip Sheena into getting Emma to have lunch with them. Sheena shares that Emma has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and that they've been visiting a cognitive behavioral therapy to pinpoint the cause. Matthew tries to get the family to sit and talk about Emma's condition. This only turns into another way for Sheena to blame Adam for not taking their daughter's mental health seriously. Edith is angry and overwhelmed by this news and obsessively cleans the room as she recounts her hardships as a young woman. Alone, Matthew and Sheena talk about a phone call they had a while back where Sheena was upset about her and Adam's marriage.
''Rule 1: Matthew must sit '''and eat''' to tell a lie.''
Matthew can tell that Sheena is upset with something. So he implores Sheena to tell him. She says that there is trouble with their marriage, and that she wishes someone would talk to Adam. Matthew hugs her, just as Carrie walks in, and Carrie is mad at the fact of Matthew hugging Sheena.
''Rule 2: Carrie must stand '''and dance around''' to tell a joke.''
Carrie and Matthew are talking at the start of the scene. Then Carrie starts to dance around shouting that she wants to help Edith. Edith comes in because she hears her name. Carrie knocks over an antique thing that Edith's father left to her. Sheena and Adam come in and they say they are going to couple's therapy together.
''Rule 3: Sheena must drink '''and interrupt''' to contradict.''
Adam and Sheena are discussing couple's therapy together and if they really need to go or not.
''Rule 4: Adam must affect an accent '''and name-call''' to mock.''
Adam and Sheena are arguing, Edith walks in and they act like nothing is wrong. Edith and Matthew start talking about Carrie. Carrie comes in. Edith is surprised she didn't get a Christmas present. Sheena says they got her one, but they forgot it.
''Rule 5: Edith must clean '''and self-medicate''' to keep calm.''
Edith makes a big deal how mothers do not need presents. The family is saying what they got her. Adam and Matthew talk about Sheena. Carrie walks in on Matthew and Adam talking and hears something she should not hear. Sheena and Carrie both want to talk to Matthew alone, and Edith is stopping anyone from leaving. The doorbell then rings. Francis has arrived.
Francis has health problems and only Edith really understands them. Everyone is telling Francis their good news. Edith says that Francis had a stroke. Matthew and Adam start bickering. There is a little bit of chaos at the end of the scene.
''Rule 1: Matthew must sit and eat to tell a lie...'''until he gets a compliment.'''''
Matthew tells the truth to Carrie about everything. Carrie thinks there is something going on between him and Sheena, he says there is not. Matthew tells Carrie he was going to propose to her.
''Rule 2: Carrie must stand and dance around to tell a joke...'''until she gets a laugh.'''''
Matthew wants to keep the proposal a secret for fear the news will shock his father. Carrie, bound to her rule, keeps making light of the situation and angering Matthew. Trying to avoid certain topics, Edith pushes the family to play the card game, Bedlam. The family criticize and demean one another as they attempt to play the game. Carrie flashes her engagement ring at Sheena in an attempt to anger her to avail. Matthew and Carrie's rules light up when their emotional needs are not met; the two attempt to restrain each other from completing their assigned rules. The scene climaxes in bitter remarks from Adam further suggesting he knows the interest Matthew has for his wife.
''Rule 3: Sheena must drink and interrupt to contradict...'''until she has the last word.'''''
Carrie seems surprised and forgives Matthew for everything. Adam and Edith talk about Francis playing a game. Everyone plays Bedlam. Adam is accused of cheating.
''Rule 4: Adam must affect an accent and name-call to mock...'''until he has deflected blame.'''''
They continue to play Bedlam, while continuing to think Adam is cheating. Matthew takes the blame bringing the game. Adam and Sheena start arguing. Everyone starts eating lunch. Adam and Sheena are arguing. Carrie wants Matthew to tell his family they are engaged. Everyone starts arguing. At the end of the scene Edith yells at everyone.
''Rule 5: Edith must clean and self-medicate to keep calm...'''until she gets reassurance.'''''
Everyone starts to say sorry to everyone. Everyone starts arguing again. Matthew gives a long speech how he loves Sheena, Adam says he knew it. Carrie is angry and everyone is arguing even more. Everyone starts physically fighting. Edith flips the table and Adam and Matthew throw food at one another. Emma comes downstairs to see chaos. The adults immediately stop upon sight of Emma and realize what they look like.
Thirty minutes after the food fight, the adults are gathering themselves. Rules 2, 3, and 4 disappear by the end of the show; leaving Matthew and Edith's rules still live on the board. Edith and Matthew talk. Carrie is calling for a taxi. Carrie says goodbye to Edith. Sheena is waiting for a taxi. Adam says he can change to Sheena, but she does not believe it. Edith cleans the mess.
Olivia, a well-known Parisian novelist, runs a writing workshop with a group of young people in La Ciotat, in the South of France. She is particularly intrigued by Antoine, a taciturn and not very sociable, young man. Antoine makes writing proposals that others consider shocking, and becomes the "black sheep" of the group. Olivia and Antoine, who seeks escape from his daily life by immersing himself in an extreme right-wing ideology (following Luc Borel, a fascist leader inspired from real-life Alain Soral), develop a relationship that is marked by attraction and repulsion.
Meinhard is one of a group of German construction workers hired to build a hydroelectric plant in a remote Bulgarian village near the Greek border. As the water supply to mix the cement has been interrupted and promised gravel does not arrive, their work comes to a halt, leading to boredom. While sunning in a nearby river they meet some local women out bathing and the encounter becomes antagonistic when one of the Bulgarian women loses her sun hat and the German worker who retrieves it refuses to give it back and tries to push her underwater.
There are other conflicts: locals object to the Germans stealing fruit from an orchard while local steal the German's flag.
Meinhard meanwhile finds a white horse. He rides it into the village and tries to talk to the locals, their interactions limited because they lack a common language. The horse belongs to a local man, Adrian, who allows Meinhard to ride it. Meinhard ends up befriending Adrian and his family, cobbling together bits of conversation.
Meinhard discovers that the lack of water is due to the limited water supply being rationed between villages. The locals explain that they cannot give the Germans the water needed for their work or they themselves will be without any.
The foreman, Vincent, eventually takes the white horse and goes to the water well, turning off the water for the locals. In the process, he fatally injures the horse in a fall from a steep incline, something Meinhard later finds out when he finds the dying horse and kills the horse to prevent further suffering.
During negotiations over access to the water, possibly involving improving the supply, Vincent flirts with Viara, who is acting as a translator. She rebuffs him: later, when Meinhard approaches her, she and Meinhard go for a walk and later have sex.
Returning home that evening Meinhard is approached by a Bulgarian man who lost his money to Meinhard playing poker. He pleads with Meinhard to return the money, but Meinhard only returns some of it. Later, returning to the camp in the dark, Meinhard is attacked by his own German co-workers. Meinhard is able to fend off the attack but spends the night outdoors.
In the morning, he is picked up to by his Bulgarian friends and taken to a village party where the two nationalities mix. Meinhard is punched at the party by a local man after a brief altercation regarding his involvement with Viara. Afterwards, his friend, Adrian, remarks that such conflict is a part of village life. Following the confrontation, Meinhard goes to leave the party, but as he is about to disappear into the evening darkness, he has a change of heart. Meinhard turns round, returns to the party and joins in the dancing.
Silent protagonist Mr. Shifty, in radio contact with his superior Nyx, breaches Olympus Tower, the offices of StoneCorp. They aim to steal a dangerous weapon called the "mega-plutonium", to prevent its use for nefarious purposes by the evil Chairman Stone. Shifty infiltrates the building's lower floors and locates the mega-plutonium, but it is a decoy and a bomb. Nyx and Shifty, undaunted, decide to continue by killing Stone, who contacts Shifty by radio. Stone is impressed by Shift's abilities and offers him a job, but Shifty ignores him. At the end of the chapter, Stone sedates Shifty with noxious gas in the elevator, saying Shifty should have accepted his offer.
Shifty awakes deep underground in a cell filled with a shift blocker, but punches through the wall to freedom. He fights his way to a computer terminal, where he re-establishes radio contact with Nyx, who guides him to the surface. There, he encounters Stone, who seems to die in a large explosion.
Nyx at first intends to extract Shifty, but they encounter Stone again soon after. Nyx, shocked, orders Shifty to kill him, but Stone disappears. He reveals that he has studied Shifty and used the real mega-plutonium as a power source for a machine that can teleport anything everywhere. Shifty battles through the many obstacles and guards that Stone shifts in his way, finally destroying the machine's core. This causes it to go haywire, shifting objects randomly, before it explodes and dies. Shifty enters Stone's office at the top of the tower, dodges the hail of gunfire from Stone's twin tommy guns, and kills him.
During the Allied campaign across France in 1944, five troopers of the 82nd Airborne Division are assigned to guard a chateau. En route they ambush a German-captured jeep, executing the occupants who survive the initial attack, before encountering a group of Jewish refugees. They arrive at their destination, and the troops they're replacing clear out hurriedly. Chris, the group's commander, interprets a repetitive banging sound coming from the fireplace as Morse code, which Eugene transcribes as saying "I have no legs". Eugene later finds a journal kept by a German soldier detailing the fate of the Helwigs, the former owners. The Germans, having discovered the Helwigs had been sheltering Jews, brutally murdered them by burning the father alive, hanging the daughter and drowning the son in a bathtub. As Eugene is transcribing another Morse code message, his hand moves without his volition to spell out the message "If you leave, you die". That night, a German patrol attacks. The Americans kill most of their number but Butchie is mortally wounded diving on a grenade. Elsewhere, the men witness some of the Germans being killed by unseen forces in the same manner as the Helwig family. Before he dies, Butchie rants that what the men are experiencing isn't real and exhorts Chris to "remember".
Convinced that the building is haunted, the survivors leave only to find themselves repeating the experiences that brought them to the chateau - the ambush of the jeep, the encounter with the refugees. Believing they are cursed and that their only hope is to give the bodies of the Helwig family a proper burial, they return to the chateau. An invisible force grabs Chris and hauls him towards an outhouse where they find the Helwigs' remains. After burying the bodies, Eugene consults the diary and finds that the text is no longer German but Arabic and that the Helwigs were Afghan. The men are then attacked by spirits, one of which tries to drown Chris. The shock of the experience induces hallucinations before he finally snaps awake and finds himself being attended to by doctors in a futuristic hospital, surrounded by the mutilated and unconscious bodies of his comrades. Doctor Engel and his staff inform Chris that what he and his friends had been experiencing is a simulated reality based on World War II intended to help soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Chris' memories return. He and his men are not World War II veterans but soldiers of the present-day American military. Their final mission in Afghanistan was to evacuate a family called the Helwigs, who had been collaborating with the Americans, before an Islamic State patrol ambushed them. Ordered to hide by their CIA handler, the men watched as the Helwigs were slaughtered in the manner witnessed in the simulation. As the men left, the despairing mother of the family detonated a suicide bomb and with her dying breath uttered the word "Vetrulek", revealed to be an ancient curse that forces its recipients to endlessly relive their trauma. Back in the hospital the power fluctuates, confusing the medical staff. Chris realises that the curse is real and that the spirits of the Helwig family now haunt the simulation that the men are experiencing. Convinced the only way to lift the curse is to confront the family, apologise and atone for their sins, Chris explains this to the medical staff, and returns to the simulation. He reawakens where his experiences began - camped out at night with his comrades as a figure watches from the shadows.
Outside a local park, a green hummingbird is shown flying around, eventually finding signs directing toward a bird bath (which is actually a tuxedo cat carrying a bowl and water hose). Upon arriving, the bird settles down, as the cat slowly tries to grab it. The bird eventually squirts water at the cat's face, prompting him to give chase until he reaches a bulldog sleeping in his doghouse. The bulldog, disgruntled, grabs the cat by his neck as he yells, "No, NOT THE FENCE! NOT THAT AGAIN!" as he is taken to the fence, and is punished by being grabbed by the tail from the other side of the fence.
The cat's next attempt then involves him grabbing a pink phonograph horn to disguise it as a flower to attract the same hummingbird. This plan ultimately fails, as the bird drops a stick of dynamite into the horn, with said horn exploding in the cat's face. The bird eventually begins flying by the bulldog, this time walking along the grass as it flies and hums around him. The cat, this time armed with a net, spots the bird and attempts to catch the bird, only to whack the bulldog in the head. His next punishment from the dog immediately follows; the punishment this time being a faux birthday party simply titled "Happy Birthday" with dynamite sticks in place of candles on a cake, all of which blow up in the cat's face.
After a cross-fade, the cat then attaches fuchsia petals to a fishing rod hook, with a red balloon on top. After launching it into the air, the hummingbird paints a picture of the cat onto the balloon and drags it down to the bulldog, who notices the cat's image and then says (quoting Tweety during the process): "I tawt I taw a puddy tat!" The dog eventually pops the balloon containing the cat's picture, and then tugs the fishing line containing the fuchsia petals, prompting the cat to pull him over to his location. The dog then pulls the cat towards a rain pipe and pulls him through it from the roof of a house (essentially giving him the same treatment as The Fence).
While thinking of yet another plan, the bird flies around the cat as he follows it to the dog, with the bird walking around his bones. After lunging towards the two, the cat realizes that he only got to the bones (due to the hummingbird flying away again), and the dog promptly subjects him to a modified cement mixer, which he sets to ''The Thinker'', resulting of a replica of the statue of the same name but with the cat in place of the actual man. Next, The hummingbird attempts to trick the cat into thinking that the dog ate it. In response, the cat applies sneezing powder against the dog's nose to open his mouth, and after taking a flashlight to look inside, the dog sneezes and subjects the cat to his final punishment: The Works, which starts out with the fence and takes him towards a long trail leading into the same cement mixer for "The Thinker." Unfortunately for him, the hummingbird ties the dog to a rope that was also used for the cat, essentially now meaning that both animals become subject to the rig. The cartoon ends with both animals being sent to the mixer as the hummingbird sets it to "The Works", resulting in them now becoming a shared bird bath as the bird dives in it.
It is Russia in 1742. Some time ago as a result of a palace coup, Elizabeth Petrovna, the daughter of Peter the Great, came to power. French Cardinal André-Hercule de Fleury, displeased with Russia's foreign policy, plots against Vice-Chancellor Alexey Bestuzhev-Ryumin. The secret archive of Bestuzhev has been stolen, and priceless papers from Russia are to be brought out by Chevalier de Brillieu, an experienced diplomat and womanizer.
At the same time three faithful friends are undergoing training in the navigational school in Moscow: Aleksei Korsak, Alexander Belov and Nikita Olenev. Their student life is fun and carefree but suddenly due to a combination of circumstances, the young men are drawn into dangerous political games.
As a result of an alleged conspiracy against Elizabeth, the Lopukhin and Yaguzhinsky families are under attack. Anna Yaguzhinskaya, the patroness of Korsak is arrested and her beautiful daughter Anastasia is kidnapped by de Brillieu from her arrest and is preparing to leave with her beloved Frenchman directly to Paris. Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya steals from de Brillieu Bestuzhev's archive and passes it on to Korsak who, having arrived in St. Petersburg, must hand over the papers to the vice-chancellor. Thus Anastasia hopes to alleviate the fate of her arrested mother.
Aleksei Korsak, who escaped from Moscow in a women's dress right while performing in an amateur theater, is heading to St. Petersburg. Along his way he is joined through a stroke of luck by Sofia, a wealthy heiress, whom her greedy relatives want to forcefully turn her into a nun. Aleksei falls in love with the beautiful girl and helps her avoid the sad fate.
Once in St. Petersburg, three friends and Sophia must solve two important tasks. First, hand over the stolen papers to Bestuzhev personally in hand, and, secondly, to wrest Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya from the tenacious paws of de Brillieu. And a real hunt for Bestuzhev's archive begins now that the Count de Lestocq, the all-powerful personal physician of the Empress, her trusted adviser, joins the French. Lestocq hates Bestuzhev and is ready to do anything to get hold of the papers of the vice-chancellor, but with the help of the well-known Belov Count Lyadashchev, the archive is successfully returned to Bestuzhev. But now Korsak, Belov and Olenev must save the beautiful Anastasia and at the same time execute the cunning task of the vice-chancellor.
Russia, 1744. Empress Elizabeth is childless and increasingly ill. Her nephew, Tsarevich Petr Fedorovich, the son of Anna, Elizabeth's elder sister, is appointed as heir. This is a quarrelsome, foolish young man who from an early age became familiar with alcohol and tobacco. In order to strengthen the dynasty, Elizabeth decides to arrange the marriage of her good for nothing nephew, offering him one of the German princesses as a bride, Sophie Friederike Auguste, who by virtue of her young age is affectionately called "Fiquet".
Vice-chancellor Bestuzhev summons Aleksei Korsak and Alexander Belov and gives them an important assignment. Friends should hand over a personal letter to Prince Anhalt-Zerbst, and then deliver "Fiquet" and her mother incognito to St. Petersburg. On the way to their homeland, their third friend, Nikita Olenev, unexpectedly joins them, who at that time was studying in Germany. True friends Gardes-Marines are together again, and they are bringing a precious cargo with them to the distant snow-covered Russia: the future wife of the heir to the throne and her mother.
But such political action can not go unnoticed in Europe. French diplomacy starts another intrigue, and Chevalier de Brillieu again is its tool. Using his skill of a clever Don Juan, de Brillieu should become the lover and confidant of Fiquet's mother - the duchess Johanna, a lustful and extravagant woman, up to her neck in debt. Then acting through the duchess, France will be able to influence the heir and his wife in its own interests. De Brillieu takes up the work with ardor because personal animosity is involved. After all it was the Gardes-Marines who stole Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya away from him, a Russian beauty whom the Frenchman still loves. And now de Brillieu prepares a trap, which must include friends and Gardes-Marines, and "Fiquet" with her mother...
An alien in the form of a schoolgirl named Akira (Yuri Tsunematsu) apparently kills her family, then walks carelessly down the middle of a street, causing an evading semi to overturn. A second alien has taken over the body of a man, Shinji (Ryuhei Matsuda), whose wife Narumi (Masami Nagasawa) is flustered by the profound changes to his personality. He asks her to guide him.
A third alien has taken over the body of a teenage boy, Amano (Mahiro Takasugi). He connects with a freelance journalist, Sakurai (Hiroki Hasegawa), who becomes his guide. Amano admits to Sakurai that he is an alien, and Sakurai eventually believes and assists him. The aliens do not threaten their guides. Amano and Sakurai ultimately track down Akira. The three travel together, although Sakurai is disturbed by Akira's violence.
The aliens are advanced scouts for a mass invasion of Earth. To learn how humans live and think, they steal themes or philosophical concepts from humans, who then can no longer understand them. Thus, alien Amano takes "freedom" from human Amano's parents and they become servile. Shinji takes "family" from Narumi's sister, who leaves while telling Narumi to back off. He later takes "possession" from a young shut-in, who proceeds to go out in the world as an advocate against materialism. Alien Shinji becomes, in many respects, a better husband to Narumi. "Shinji is broken," he says to Narumi, "I'll rebuild him."
Government authorities are working to locate Akira, who they view as being at the center of a release of a dangerous virus. A state of emergency is declared, with the SDF becoming involved. Meanwhile, Amano and Akira must meet with Shinji to trigger the start of the invasion. Sakurai initially works to prevent this, but after the human forms of the two young aliens are killed, he tries to initiate the invasion himself.
Narumi invites Shinji to take "love" from her, and he does. He is overwhelmed by the feeling; he is surprised by how complicated "love" is. Meanwhile, Narumi no longer can feel emotion. The invasion is called off. Sakurai is dead after the attack from war plane. At the same time, Narumi and Shinji arrive at the hill where they can see the ocean. Suddenly, Aliens start invading to the earth, and attack Narumi and Shinji, but they survive.
Two months later, Aliens stop invading the Earth, and many humans survived. However, many people lost the concept of who they are and have lasting physical and mental damage that has no clear way to cure.
Shinji was found to be working for the relief effort at the film's end while Narumi was hospitalized because she had lost the concept of love and all related emotions. Shinji said that the invasion stopped because the aliens learned from the humans. The relief doctor noted that at the time of the invasion humans faced many serious problems of their own making that no longer as a positive result of the Alien invasion.
