Similar to the plot of the original ''Yakuza'', the game centers around yakuza lieutenant Kazuma Kiryu, who takes the blame for Sohei Dojima's murder, committed by his sworn brother and best friend Akira Nishikiyama, spending ten years in prison before being granted parole. A free man, Kiryu discovers that Nishikiyama is now a powerful but cold-hearted yakuza boss, his childhood friend Yumi has gone missing, and everyone is searching for ten billion yen that was stolen from his former organization, the Tojo Clan. As war erupts throughout the streets of Kamurocho between many different factions (including government agents and the Triad), Kiryu decides to find Yumi and the missing money, and protect Haruka, a mysterious young girl whom everyone seems to be after. Eventually, a remorseful Nishikiyama sacrifices himself to kill Haruka's father Jingu who was a corrupt politician bent on destroying the Tojo and his loved ones, and Yumi dies in Kiryu's arms from a gunshot wound. Rather than give into despair and allow himself to be arrested, Kiryu leaves the Tojo and becomes Haruka's adoptive father.

However, the story also introduces two new plot lines focused on Nishikiyama and Majima, a ruthless Tojo captain and Kiryu's rival. In the latter's case, he is reintroduced as a sadomasochistic yakuza who attacks Kiryu for not wanting to fight him. Despite this, Majima is fascinated by Kiryu's stoic ideals and considers him to be the perfect opponent. When Kiryu is released from prison, Majima is disappointed by his combat skills going rusty and arranges a series of elaborate and bizarre scenarios to manipulate him into fighting and thus, make him stronger. Despite the fights, Majima collaborates with Kiryu to defeat Dojima Family loyalists and even confesses to him that he does not care about avenging Shimano's death. Once Kiryu regains his combat abilities, Majima congratulates him and faints.

For Nishikiyama, his story focuses on his descent to madness. The night when Kiryu was arrested, Reina breaks down in tears in front of Nishiki at Serena. Nishiki, unable to control his emotions, strikes her in the face. The day after Nishikiyama shot Dojima and Kiryu went to prison, the Dojima Family ponders about the culprit, whilst they mock Nishikiyama for his ineptitude. In 1996, the Kazama Family decides to give Nishikiyama his own "family" to control, with the expectation that he would look out for Kiryu now that he had been expelled from the Tojo Clan. However, he proves to be an incompetent leader, with his family captain Matsushige, who was hired because he was the top-earner in the Kazama Family, disrespecting him and commanding more respect among his men. As Yuko, his terminally ill sister, requires a heart transplant, Nishikiyama visits a doctor, who tells him that he needs 30 million yen to pay for it. Nishikiyama tells Matsushige to get the money for him by any means and that he won't question him. Matsushige agrees and decides to rob from stores owned by Osamu Kashiwagi, the Kazama Family captain, so that Nishikiyama could be punished. Nishikiyama fails to stop him. Kashiwagi finds out and violently disciplines Nishikiyama. He forgives Nishikiyama but tells him that Kiryu would be morally better as a leader. Nishikiyama is then fully convinced that the entire Kazama Family hates him after Futoshi Shimano accuses Kazama of deliberately giving Nishikiyama men he cannot control and that Nishikiyama should learn to care for himself instead of Kiryu. Eventually, Nishikiyama learns from Matsushige that the doctor was a fraud who already had the 30 million yen from the beginning. Nishikiyama rushes to confront him, but discovers that he has run away. Yuko dies and Nishikiyama prepares to commit seppuku. Matsushige interrupts and disrespects him once more. Tired of the disrespect and harassment, Nishikiyama stabs him, and tells him that he killed Sohei Dojima, before using the blood to slick back his hair, becoming the changed man Kiryu would encounter during the main story.

The film is based on the Sobibor revolt which occurred in 1943 in German-occupied Poland. The main character of the movie is the Jewish-Soviet soldier Alexander Pechersky, who was a lieutenant in the Red Army. In October 1943, he was deported to the Sobibor death camp, where Jews were being exterminated in gas chambers. In just three weeks, Pechersky planned an uprising with prisoners from Poland and other locations around Western Europe. This uprising was partly successful, allowing roughly 300 prisoners to escape, of whom roughly 60 survived the war.

Dame Paula Rego was one of the greatest figurative artists of the post-war period. Her dark, complex works brought her international acclaim – with her own museum in Cascais near Lisbon, honorary doctorates from both Oxford and Cambridge universities, a damehood from the queen, countless books written about her work, and many ground-breaking exhibitions. Her work not only connects on a visceral level it has also been a powerful tool for social change.

In contrast to her bold and expressive paintings, Rego was notoriously private and evasive. Prior to the film she tended to talk about the 'surface stories' of her pictures and the technicalities of painting but rarely connected the work directly to her life. In this intimate film by her son, Rego laid bare the powerful forces behind her work and the experiences which infused her 'stories'. The result is a searingly honest and eye-opening profile of an artist and a mother. The emotional power of the film is heightened by the relationship between film maker and subject. It's a journey of discovery for Paula's son and the film captures moments of pure revelation. Yet the film also stands up as a comprehensive examination of her life and pictures.

Shortly after her eightieth birthday Rego started telling her son stories he'd never heard before, stories about her life that he felt gave him a unique insight into her work. So he asked her whether she'd make a film about her experiences, the struggles that turned her into one of our most important living artists, and to his surprise she agreed. In the film Rego painted a vivid picture of her childhood growing up in Portugal, a stifling and repressive society dominated by men where women were "encouraged to do absolutely nothing."

Rego started to draw at the age of four and soon discovered that in her pictures she could do anything, act out her fantasies, kill her bullies, do things, which as an intensely shy child, she felt unable to do in real life. She was encouraged by a father who introduced her to great storytellers such as Danté, Shakespeare, Verdi, and Walt Disney. Rego began to paint stories, finding ways of expressing complex ideas in a single visual image. Realising that his daughter had a unique talent, her father allowed her to go to the Slade School of Art in London. But the Slade taught a very stifling and academic method which Rego hated, so she hid at the back of the class and painted her own pictures. It was here that she met the painter Victor Willing, one of the school's biggest stars and soon fell in love despite the fact that he was married.

Life in London, alone, in her teens, a foreigner and woman competing in another male-dominated and often misogynistic environment was tough for the shy Rego. But perhaps as a reaction to her repressive upbringing she gave herself completely to Victor Willing. She became pregnant several times and knew that if she had a baby Victor would leave her and she would have to return to Portugal to lead a disgraced life as a single mother and never become an artist. Desperate, she sought a back-street abortion. This experience as a young 18-year-old profoundly affected her.

In 1998, when Portugal held a referendum to allow abortion, not enough people voted – not enough Portuguese women in particular – so the referendum was ruled null and void and abortion remained illegal. Rego was so incensed by the cowardice and hypocrisy of women that she was moved to paint a series of pictures of back-street abortions. These are among some of Rego's most powerful pictures – young schoolgirls recovering from makeshift operations by sometimes sadistic amateur abortionists. Rego recalled a cousin of hers who performed an abortion on his girlfriend and ended up killing her, so he dumped her in the sea and her bloated body was washed up on the beach. Everyone knew what had happened but no one did anything about it. "It was normal to treat women in this way", Paula says sadly.

Rego's abortion pictures were shown before the second referendum and, as President Jorge Sampaio explains, they made all the difference. This time women did vote, in droves, and abortion was legalised.

Returning to that difficult time in the 1950s, Rego ttold how, when she became pregnant again at 19, she decided that this time she would keep the baby, whatever the cost. Sure enough Victor told her that he was going back to his wife. Fearful that she would be treated badly, patronised and looked down on, Paula settled back in Portugal preparing herself for a life as an outcast.

To her surprise, Willing wrote to her father and told him that he missed her. He was invited to live in Portugal and they were given Paula's grandparents house in the fishing village of Ericeira to live in. Paula recalls this as one of the happiest periods in her life. They married and had two more children, and her work exploded with renewed vibrancy and power.

But Willing continued seeing other women, and fearful that he might leave again, Paula started doing the same. Infused throughout this period is Paula's sense of dread, awkwardness and fear – themes which continuously appear and reappear in her work.

In the film Rego confessed to having always suffered from depression. She recalled being afraid of everything as a child, a terror that continued. In 2006–7, when she was fighting a particularly bad spell of depression, she tried to 'draw her way out'. The result was 12 large pastels which she locked away, afraid that looking at them again might cause the depression to return. Nick asked his mother whether, now that 10 years had passed, she would show him on camera. She agreed and in a private moment of reflection Rego explains how the pictures illustrated her depression.

After the death of Rego's father in 1966, Willing took over his business, a specialist electronics factory. Despite being an artist with limited Portuguese and no experience of electrical engineering he mortgaged the family home to invest in the company. Rego reflected on how she should have stopped him, as this was followed by a brutal bankruptcy in which they lost everything.

To make matters worse, Victor was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a gradual paralysing disease. The family moved to London, – penniless – and Rego sunk into one of her most debilitating periods of depression. Her work 'went downhill' as Willing's illness got worse and their relationship suffered. But she kept at it, every day, working hard despite a uninterested art market.

The breakthrough didn't come until 1980 when Paula's work underwent a revolution. She started to use her personal life again, exploring her fantasies, fears and disappointments in her work, just as she had done as a child. These pictures – about Victor, her family, her lovers – drew the attention of art critics and dealers, and in 1986 Rego signed with Marlborough Fine Art, one of the world's leading modern art galleries. Ironically, her greatest success didn't come until Willing's death in 1988, a major retrospective in London's Serpentine Gallery, which cemented Rego as one of the most important women artists of her generation.

Looking back at this time, it feels almost as if Willing's death helped to release Rego's greater potential. She explored more complex and sophisticated themes, but even then, Willing remained at the heart of her work, in series such as the famous ''Dog Woman'' pictures in which she tried to come to terms with their difficult relationship, and ''The Crime of Father Amaro'' which brought back her formative experiences at the Slade. Feminist writers such as Germaine Greer and Marina Warner heralded Rego as artist who changed the role of women artists for ever.

Throughout, there is also a sense that Nick Willing is not only trying to rediscover Rego's life, better understand her pictures and tell her story, but also trying to get close to a mother who had often felt distant. For him the greatest revelation came at the end, when he asks her what is it that, after all she has achieved, she's most proud of.

Synopsis

Set in the 1940s during Shanghai's revolutionary times, communist agent Chen Shen infiltrates the Japanese' base and adopts the code name "Sparrow". His mission is to obtain the "zero" intel, a secret plan that could destroy China. To do so, he becomes the assistant of Bi Zhongliang, the leader of the Special Operations Team under the Public Security Bureau.

Plot Summary

In March 1940, the Collaborationist Wang Government was announced. The invading Japanese army hunted down Anti-Japanese in Shanghai, and the puppet government set up a "special operations department" headed by Bi Zhongliang (played by Zhang Luyi), a former National Revolutionary Army officer. Chen Shen ( Li Yifeng ), a CCP member codenamed "Sparrow" who has been lurking beside Bi Zhongliang, lost contact with the other communist agents. In the perilous situation where the tiger is watching the wolf, Chen Shen pretends to be an unruly prodigal who gambles within the Shanghai bund and rolls among women, but in fact he has a firm belief and risks his life to rescue "prime minister" ( played by Li Xiaoran ) and other Anti-Japanese. Bi Zhongliang is cunning, and has suspicions on his "brother", the life-saving benefactor, Chen Shen. Because the "prime minister" is his brother's wife and sister-in-law, he desperately wants to rescue the prime minister, but things backfired. After the sacrifice of the prime minister, Chen Shen finally found a new "doctor" and was ordered to get the important battle plan of the Japanese army code-named "Return to Zero". Chen Shen's former lover Xu Bicheng (played by Zhou Dongyu ), the two had a master-apprentice relationship at the Whampoa Military Academy. Xu and another Kuomintang intelligence officer, Tang Shanhai (played by Zhang Ruoyun), pretended to be husband and wife and sneaked into the special operations office. At this time, they also received information from the military. Ordered to get the return to zero plan, which is a plan by the Japanese army to lurk undercover in the military and the CCP, so that after the war ends, they can continue to serve the Japanese. Because of her personality, Xu Bicheng is not suitable for being a spy, and is always emotional, causing trouble to Chen Shen in many of her actions. Chen Shen, who is very clever, in the midst of a series of murders, cleverly exploits the subtle gaps in the Japanese, Wang Jingwei's puppet government and other factions, and won repeated victories, so that Bi Zhongliang and his superiors do not suspect that they are undercover. However, Su Sansheng ( Yin Zheng ), where Juntong had betrayed, he was given information from the Special Operations Department, Juntong's assassination team, the Hurricane Team, and almost all of Juntong's forces in Shanghai were wiped out. Su Sansheng loves Li Xiaonan (played by Kan Qingzi ), but Li Xiaonan is in love with Chen Shen. Su Sansheng actively wants to kill Chen Shen, Tang Shanhai, and Xu Bicheng, believing that they are the undercover CCP "Sparrow" and the military undercover "Shudihuang". It also paid a huge price. Chen Shen finally succeeded in obtaining the "return to zero" plan, which was hidden in Bi Zhongliang's house . The ending is intriguing. Even though Xu Bicheng saved Chen Shen, she didn’t go to Yan’an in order to meet Chen Shen. However Chen Shen didn’t meet Xu Bicheng in Shanghai because he faked death.

Chen Shen, who is very clever, in the midst of a series of murders, cleverly exploits the subtle gaps in the Japanese, Wang Jingwei's puppet government and other factions, and won repeated victories, so that Bi Zhongliang and his superiors do not suspect that they are undercover. However, Su Sansheng ( Yin Zheng ), where Juntong had betrayed, he was given information from the Special Operations Department, Juntong's assassination team, the Hurricane Team, and almost all of Juntong's forces in Shanghai were wiped out. Su Sansheng loves Li Xiaonan (played by Kan Qingzi ), but Li Xiaonan is in love with Chen Shen. Su Sansheng actively wants to kill Chen Shen, Tang Shanhai, and Xu Bicheng, believing that they are the undercover CCP "Sparrow" and the military undercover "Shudihuang". It also paid a huge price. Chen Shen finally succeeded in obtaining the "return to zero" plan, which was hidden in Bi Zhongliang's house . The ending is intriguing. Even though Xu Bicheng saved Chen Shen, she didn’t go to Yan’an in order to meet Chen Shen. However Chen Shen didn’t meet Xu Bicheng in Shanghai because he faked death.

The novel takes place in the fictional country of Orïsha, which is presumably somewhere in precolonial Nigeria, inhabited by two distinct people: divîners, who have the capability to become magical maji and are marked by white hair, and non-magical kosidán. Eleven years prior to the events of the book, King Saran figured out how to switch off magic and ordered the slaying of many defenseless divîners, including the mother of Zélie Adebola. Since that time, divîners have been severely oppressed. After visiting the capital city, Lagos, to make enough money to pay off an increased tax on divîners, Zélie and her brother Tzain help a noble girl flee the clutches of local guards. This girl, who turns out to be Princess Amari, the daughter of King Saran, has stolen a magical scroll that can restore the magical powers of any divîner who touches it. The reason Amari stole the scroll was that after her servant and best friend, Binta, touched it and her powers came to life, King Saran killed her. Like her mother before her, Zélie is able to awaken her magical powers as a Reaper, giving her the power to command undead spirits.

Pursued by a contingent of guards led by Amari's brother Prince Inan and Admiral Kaea, the three travel to the temple of the maji, Chândomblé. The temple's remaining priest, Lekan, tells them that they must use the scroll, the bone dagger (which he gives them), and an artifact called the sunstone to perform a ritual to renew the connection between the maji and the gods, who are the source of all magic. He performs a rite on Zélie so she will be able to complete the connection, and then he sacrifices himself to hold off the guards as the trio escapes. Unknown to anyone else, contact with the scroll has given Prince Inan magical abilities to detect the feelings and memories of others. Kaea catches Inan using these abilities to track the trio and Inan accidentally uses his magic to kill her.

The trio finds themselves in Ibeji, where the sunstone is used as a prize for deadly aquatic arena games. They agree to compete and Zélie uses her powers to win the sunstone. Now in possession of all three artifacts, the group continues on their way until Inan catches up to them. In the chaos that follows, Tzain and Amari are captured in the forest by an unknown group. Inan agrees to help Zélie rescue their siblings. During the rescue, they learn that the group is really a settlement of divîners, some of whom have had their powers reawakened when they were exposed to the scroll before it was taken by the King's forces.

Upon hearing of the group's mission, the divîners decide to hold a festival for the Sky Mother where the remaining divîners will be able to touch the scroll. By this time, Inan, who has developed romantic feelings for Zélie, has agreed to help restore magic. However, Saran and his guards find and destroy the camp, also capturing Zélie. During the fight between the guards and the divîners, Kwame, a maji able to control fire, uses his magic to self-immolate and takes out guards with him. This display of powerful magic scares Inan, who changes his mind again and wants to repress his magic, knowing that his father would kill him should he ever reveal that he is a maji. Saran tortures Zélie to learn how to destroy the scroll, removing her magical ability in the process.

Tzain and Amari assemble a team and break Zélie out of prison. Zélie does not reveal her power loss and they hire a group of mercenaries, commanded by Roen, who allow them to infiltrate the secret island and temple to perform the ceremony. Once inside, however, they are ambushed by Saran and Inan, who are holding Zélie and Tzain's father. Feeling helpless, Zélie agrees to give the artifacts up in exchange for her and her father's life. As Zélie leaves the temple, Saran orders her father killed anyway. The spirit and blood magic of her father reawakens Zélie's magic and she uses her restored powers to attack the kosidán. Inan uses her rage and magic to his advantage, as he provokes an attack that destroys the scroll. Without thinking, Inan then uses his magic to stop an attack on Saran. Saran then attempts to kill his son for being a secret maji, but is instead killed by a furious Amari.

Unable to repair the scroll, Zélie uses blood magic and an incantation of her own devising to complete the ritual, which apparently kills her in the process. Zélie is then able to speak with her mother, speaking on behalf of the gods in the afterlife, who praises her and sends her back. The book concludes as Zélie learns that Amari now has magic.

The Court gathers to discuss the recent events in Gotham, which led to them getting a weapon in order to destroy the city. This is then decided by a unanimous vote. Back in his cell, Bruce is awakened by an old Shaman (Raymond J. Barry), warning him that no one will notice his absence while he remains here. He asks for his help in something he has been working.

While Mayor James is reinstated, Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is investigating Michael Ness, the supposed drunk driver who killed his father. He finds that he had chronic persistent hepatitis and Bullock (Donal Logue) adds that if he had this disease, then he would not be able to drink. Gordon then meets with Frank (James Remar), who tells him about the weapon but admits that he does not know what it is. He is then noticed that Ness's lawyer was paid by Carmine Falcone (John Doman). Meanwhile, Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) is attended by Ivy (Maggie Geha) and he asks her to gather Gabe and many of his men in order to take back his power.

Ivy distrusts Gabe but Cobblepot shrugs her off, calling her a freak, causing her to storm off. However, Gabe knocks out Cobblepot. Back on the mountains, Bruce's cell door opens and he tries to escape, only to discover he is in a maze. He is then summoned by the Shaman, who puts an acupuncture needle on his forehead to revive the moment his parents got killed. After the revival, he is told by the Shaman to rest as they will continue later. Gordon confronts Falcone at his house, demanding to know the name of the person who ordered the hit on his father and Falcone reveals that Frank is the one who did that.

Gordon then confronts Frank, who admits ordering the hit because Peter threatened to expose the Court. Gordon tries to arrest him but Frank resists, telling him the location where the weapon will be while he will try to buy some time. Seeing no option, Gordon asks Barbara (Erin Richards) to interrogate a worker at the docks. The worker reveals they retrieved an item the past week, this is an Indian Hill crate. A Talon arrives and kills their henchmen but Barbara and Tabitha (Jessica Lucas) escape. Talon then kills the worker. Frank meets with Kathryn (Leslie Hendrix) and the Court, revealing that Gordon knows about his involvement. He is then given the order to kill Gordon.

Ivy is also captured and tied next to Cobblepot. While Gabe and his men are distracted, Ivy seduces one of the men with her powers, compelling him to kill everyone but Gabe and free them. He then confronts Gabe with Ivy's powers, and he reveals that he never was loyal to him and he and his men only followed him out of fear and that everyone still sees him as the "umbrella boy". Angered, Cobblepot kills Gabe with a gardening tool. Cobblepot then asks for help in rebuilding his army and Ivy recalls that Selina told them about the monsters at Indian Hill and she proposes that he carries an "army of freaks". Gordon meets with Frank, who tells him that the Court no longer trusts him and he needs Gordon to join the Court to stop it and finish what his father started. To ensure his plan, Frank shoots himself in the head. Bruce is then sent into reviving his parents' murder and is told by the Shaman that the pain will block from what he needs to become: a protector. He needs to become a symbol against fear so "Gotham can be reborn". Gordon visits his father's grave and receives a call from Kathryn, where he takes the blame for killing Frank and asks to meet her. A limo is waiting for him in the street and he enters.

Journalist Tom Lambert looks into his archives and begins to reinvestigate the events of ten years earlier. The situation involves university professor Dr Petrie inviting two students to an island off Scotland named Scara to visit a radio telescope as they investigate strange signals. On the beach of the island, they discover a large cylindrical object, which is then uncovered in an attempt to discover its origin and purpose.

Bigfoot (running away from those trying to kill him) befriends a young Californian boy named Paul whose park ranger father is tracking an escaped tiger.

The singer Pasha's quiet evening together with her 'fan' Kolpakov is interrupted by a mysterious visitor, who soon reveals herself to be the latter's wife. She first demands to see her husband (who'd by now hid in another room), then barrages Pasha with insults and finally demands that she'd return all the gifts that he'd given her, so as to collect the sum of money he appears to have embezzled. Scared and overwhelmed, the girl gives all the presents that she’d received from all of her male 'guests', of which only two very modest items had been brought by Kolpakov. After the woman, still rather dissatisfied with what she'd collected, leaves, Pasha tries to reproach her lover, only to be confronted with disdain and high posturing. "And this saintly woman was on the verge of throwing herself on her knees before a lowly worm like you!.. For this, I shall never forgive myself," he proclaims before departing in disgust.

A fox scampers away from the henhouse when a young rooster rings the alarm bell. Barnyard Dawg arrives, but sees no fox, so he thinks the rooster just rang the bell because he wanted a drink of water. When he sees Foghorn Leghorn leave to go fishing, the fox disguises himself and suggests that he go hunting instead, and bring the dog with him. Foggy likes this idea, so he grabs a shotgun and ties a rope around Dawg's neck and drags him away. The fox heads for the henhouse, but the young rooster rings the alarm again. Dawg runs back, dragging Foghorn behind him, but again the fox scampers away. Dawg only sees the rooster ringing the bell and assumes he's just thirsty again.

The fox then pretends to be a quiz show host, pushing Foghorn into an isolation booth and asking him the "$64 Million Question", "What poem mentions the colors red and blue?"; the fox instructs Foghorn to push a buzzer in the booth when he comes to 'red' and press it again when he comes to 'blue'. Foghorn guesses "Roses are red..", pushing the buzzer once, detonating one of two firecrackers in Dawg's mouth (causing him to lose three of his teeth), but Dawg, walking off-camera, grabs the buzzer and guesses the other half of the question, "..and violets are blue!", pressing the buzzer the second time, setting off the other firecracker that he stuffed in Foghorn's mouth. Meanwhile, the fox returns to the henhouse. The young rooster again pulls the alarm and the fox flees before Dawg arrives. Again seeing no fox, Dawg dumps a whole bucket of water on the little rooster.

The fox unpacks a "Magic Folding Box" and lures Dawg into it with a bone. When the dog is inside, the fox folds the box into a tiny package, then disguises himself as a swami and sells it as a "lucky charm" to Foghorn, who is on his way to go fishing again. Foghorn throws it over his shoulder for luck and it lands in the well. Dawg emerges battered and bruised and he folds Foghorn into a tiny package and throws him into the well. Luckily, Dawg and Foghorn realize the fox has been tricking them both with disguises and ruses, and the two decide to join forces and give the fox a taste of his own medicine.

There are also Drops, spherical objects that come out of the planet, which can power up the Monsters. Humans and Dragonoids can take on the role of Dragon Callers if they have the capability to see the Drops, wherein, they form bonds with monsters. Currently, the planet is facing Drop Impacts, occurrences where a large amount of Drops are suddenly generated in a single area (and can also spread), which affects the lands and makes the Monsters berserk.

During a hot summer in Berlin the 17-year old Tina and her friends travel to a late-evening party at a public swimming pool. One of the girls tells Tina about a misshapen embryo shown to students during biology class. She takes a photograph of Tina with her smartphone to morph her into the picture. Later someone else also shows her someone getting run over by a car in a video on his smartphone. During the party Tina notices a bizarre creature in the forest and is so frightened that she wants to go home. Once back at the car she notices her necklace is missing and spots pieces of it on the street. As she gets out the car and cobbles it back together a car passes by and smacks her down.

A few moments later Tina wakes up, apparently not hurt fatally. A feeling of déjà-vu strikes her, as scenes similar to what happened before take place again, including her getting in the car and noticing her necklace is gone.

At home Tina notices the strange creature from before raiding the kitchen fridge. She warns her parents and later security personnel to check whether there was an intruder in the home, but none of them find any evidence and don't seem to be able to see the creature. Tina talks with her therapist, and he advises her to approach and touch the creature. She follows his advice and discovers it seems to be real. Not only that, but they seem to have a strange physical sensory connection: whenever it hurts itself - or is hurt by others - Tina also experiences pain.

Tina starts to like the creature and brings food to her room to feed it. At a certain moment her parents hear the creature's noise, open her bedroom door and to their horror notice she is sleeping next to it on her bed. They take her away and try to catch it with help from police officers and animal control specialists. As the creature is incapacitated with a tranquilizer dart, Tina also collapses in a coma. The creature is brought to a hospital for further investigation.

Tina wakes up and confronts her parents about the creature, but they have no idea what she is talking about. Back in school Tina is mocked and alienated by her former friends who all heard what happened and assume she is losing her mind. Despite the fact that they planned to throw a birthday party for her, she is not invited by them and her parents want to keep her at home, since her mental condition is so bad. She celebrates her 18th birthday at home with her parents but discovers they plan to send her to a mental hospital. Angry, she sneaks out that night, steals her parents' car, saves the creature from the hospital, and goes to the party.

At the party she meets her friends and the boy she had an eye on the entire time. They kiss for the first time, but then other people notice the creature. As others try to harm it she goes over and defends him, but her parents - who also arrived at the scene - throw a stone sculpture at it.

The final scene shows Tina waking up in the back of the moving car, while the creature is behind the wheel. She feels comforted and together they drive away.

The episode begins in medias res, in which Bart Simpson appears to be mannerly. Bart breaks the fourth wall by offering to tell the show's audience why he has changed.

Two months earlier at Grandparents' Day, Bart changes the lyrics of a song for the grandparents visiting, and Principal Skinner takes him to detention. Grampa stops them, saying he's strong to punish a little boy but he'd be scared to punish a veteran. Skinner does that and punishes him to write "I just wrote one and I'm already tired" on the blackboard. As Skinner is thinking of a punishment for Bart, his mother Agnes Skinner walks in and asks him to take her to the bus stop. Skinner sends Bart, who gets on the bus with her to the candy store. After learning that he can be given gifts for accompanying elderly women, he spends time with many others. One, Phoebe, catches on to what he is doing, but settles to give him money if he can pick her up four days in a row from her nursing home. Meanwhile, Homer becomes addicted to the augmented reality game ''Peekimon Get'' (a parody of ''Pokémon Go''). He causes accidents and embarrassment while playing, but Lisa believes that the game is helping him exercise, so she encourages him to play and accompanies him. When he discovers that he can buy in-game content with real money, Lisa begrudgingly agrees to it and Homer spends $600 of the family's savings.

Bart arrives at the nursing home and takes Phoebe out in the woods to admire the nature together. After four days, she gives him the promised money, but he refuses it. Having acknowledged that he changed, Phoebe gives him her camera, saying that she has "bequeathed" it to him. After learning the meaning of the word, Bart realizes that Phoebe had been mentioning plans to commit suicide. Bart turns to Homer and Lisa, who enlist other Peekimon Get players for help finding Phoebe in the woods. They find her alive and she thanks Bart for showing that she still has a lot to live for.

Bart finishes his narration, having learned that it is wrong to play with women's hearts and take advantage of the elderly. At the retirement home, he tells his story to Grampa and apologizes to him for embarrassing him, though Grampa complains about how long the story has been. Marge discovers that Homer had spent their money, but once he assures her that the game will soon fade away, learns to be content with it. During the end credits, Homer and Lisa sing a parody of the original ''Pokémon'' anime theme tune.

The Simpson family is waiting for Homer to come home for Sunday dinner, but he arrives after hitting Ned Flanders' mailbox and sending it crashing it through the window, leaving Marge to reflect silently her frustration with her husband's behavior. At the power plant, while Homer, Lenny and Carl discuss how Marge did not react badly to what happened, Mr. Burns introduces to them Nigel and his wife. Marge tells Homer their marriage is running out of fuel when she shows up with a picnic lunch, where Homer amazes her by actually eating a carrot. Nigel decides to offer Burns a wager of five million pounds that he can destroy their marriage, and Burns gleefully accepts.

After work, Nigel pressures Homer into breaking his plans to go home to Marge by stating that Homer needs to go to Moe's with him or else Burns will be mad. A lingerie-clad Marge does not understand Homer's "Drinking with a British Guy" emojis, and she is angry after looking out the window for Homer and only seeing Disco Stu with a woman dancing, Wiggum giving Sarah jewels from the evidence box, and Ned giving harps to the ghosts of Maude and Edna. At Moe's Tavern, Nigel keeps pushing Homer to ruin his marriage, but Homer's love is too strong and he goes back home to her, after punching Moe when he finds out that Marge is the "Midge" Moe always refers to. Nigel then explains that he has a way for Moe to break up the Simpsons and make money in the process.

Back at home, Marge refuses to listen to Homer and goes to bed, crying all night. In the morning, Marge is still angry and tells Homer to go to a ballgame with Ned because she does not want to talk to him. Homer is on his way back from the game but notices Moe's Tavern is closed. Moe arrives in a fancy car and tells them he got set up by Nigel at a new 104th-floor super-exclusive bar called MoHo House. At the grand opening of MoHo House, Homer and Marge split up at the center, and Nigel raises up the bet, betting his entire fortune against the rights to an aghast Smithers and Burns accepts. Moe manages to charm Marge and dances with her, while Smithers gives Homer a gift he had been planning to give to his mom for her 81st birthday in order to keep Nigel from winning the bet. Moe runs away when it seems like Marge might be interested in him, but a bartenders' advice to Marge about how Homer treats her the same way over time because he likes the way their relationship is backfires when Marge sees Homer's offering of Smithers' gift which is clearly not for her (he forgot to change the card Smithers had written), and ignores his pleas to forgive him.

At MoHo House, Moe listens to a blues pianist who says via song that his effort to end the Simpsons' marriage is wrong. Moe later texts Marge to meet him at the place, and then Homer, who shows up angry but then listens to Moe's message: Moe apologizes to an angry Marge for always calling her Midge and vows never to steal her from Homer, but warns her that someone else will if Homer does not start treating her well consistently. Homer offers a cute cartoon of him and Marge, and she is won over again. The two make peace, and Burns wins the bet but Smithers, furious at being wagered again by Burns, lies that Nigel is a figment of his imagination and that the check was a fro-yo coupon, leading Burns to tear up the check. To thank him, Nigel gives Smithers a kiss on the lips. As the story ends, Moe returns to his old dive tavern and an elated Barney, while Burns agrees to a new fairer employee contract with Smithers.

Edward, the man living atop the pillar in Jarden's town square, dies of a heart attack in the middle of the night. Nora interviews his wife, Sandy - the same woman from the town's outskirts that paid Matt to beat her son with an oar - given Sandy's spurious claims that Edward departed rather than died. Nora also interviews various witnesses to Edward's apparent disappearance, one of whom mentions seeing Sandy with Matt the morning after Edward's "departure." Nora confronts Matt, who admits that he and Sandy quietly buried Edward to honor her unending devotion to her husband. Nora wants to expose Sandy's deception to the public, but Kevin advises her not to anger the townsfolk in light of the upcoming seventh anniversary of the Departure.

Nora visits the hospital to get her arm cast removed. The doctor notes that Nora was spotted inflicting the injury upon herself with her car door during her initial arrival at the hospital, but Nora evades the question. She receives a phone call from actor Mark Linn-Baker, who claims to be calling on behalf of a "third party" and offers Nora a chance to see her children again. Nora assumes the call to be fraudulent, but Linn-Baker mentions her children by name, and invites her to discuss his proposal at a hotel in St. Louis within the next 24 hours. A curious Nora receives approval from DSD colleague George Brevity to investigate the matter as a fraud case, and hastily packs for her trip.

Linn-Baker meets Nora at the hotel and explains that he represents a group of physicists investigating low-amplitude Denziger radiation (LADR), trace amounts of which were observed at various Departure sites. The scientists have since built a machine that blasts subjects with LADR, supposedly "reuniting" them with those who vanished on October 14. A skeptical Nora believes that Linn-Baker is suicidal, and that without proof of the subjects' departure, the scientists are merely incinerating them. Linn-Baker, who was the only ''Perfect Strangers'' series regular not to have departed (and was later found to have faked his own Departure), confides to Nora his torment over the improbability of his survival among his co-stars, and argues that he and the other research subjects are regaining control of their lives.

The next day, Nora takes a detour to Kentucky to check in on Lily, who has since been returned to Christine's custody and does not recognize Nora. Dismayed, Nora visits Erika, who is living contently in a new house by herself in Jarden. Nora reveals to Erika that her self-inflicted arm injury was an attempt to cover up her recently acquired tattoo of the Wu-Tang Clan's logo, which itself is covering up a previous tattoo bearing her children's names. The two bond by jumping on Erika's newly purchased trampoline while listening to the Wu-Tang Clan's music.

While driving into Jarden, Nora is pulled over by Tommy, who simply wants to chat, and he passively informs her he knows of her visit to Christine and Lily. Nora, destabilized by the reminder of having to give Lily away, goes to a print shop and produces a poster-size photo of Edward's exhumed corpse. She places the photo at the center of Edward's shrine in the Jarden town square, infuriating Sandy. Nora returns home and finds Kevin suffocating himself with a plastic bag; he explains he is not suicidal but merely trying to feel pain, and Nora reacts with understanding. Kevin tells Nora he wants to have a child with her, but Nora bursts out laughing in response. Linn-Baker's benefactors call Nora asking her to meet them in Melbourne with $20,000. She agrees, ostensibly to uncover the fraud without intending to enter the machine, and Kevin asks to join her.

In rural Australia, local police chief Kevin Yarborough is confronted by four women on horseback, one of whom introduces herself as Grace Playford. Grace, having read the Book of Kevin and believing Yarborough to be its eponymous police chief, asks Yarborough to join her group. When Yarborough refuses, the women kidnap and drown him, expecting Yarborough to return to life. As the women discover that Yarborough has died, Kevin Sr. emerges from Grace's house to ask what they are doing.

In a nuclear submarine in the South Pacific, a rogue crewman steals a launch key, breaks into the control room, and launches a nuclear missile. The warhead detonates in an unpopulated region of the ocean, but the explosion grounds all flights in Melbourne.

With four days left before the seventh anniversary of the Departure, Matt becomes determined to bring Kevin back to Jarden, believing the town to be the only spot where Kevin can harness his messianic powers to prevent a supposed apocalyptic event. Matt persuades Arturo, a loyal member of his congregation who works at a relief agency, to fly him to Melbourne under the guise of a rescue mission, believing that the ruse will help them bypass Australian flight restrictions. Matt plans to go only with John and Michael, but John brings along Laurie, who believes Kevin is undergoing a psychotic break and insists on seeing him. Matt begrudgingly allows her to join the trip.

Midway through the flight, the group learns that they are not permitted to land in Melbourne and will instead have to reroute to Tasmania. Matt attempts to book a 11-hour ferry ride from Tasmania to Melbourne but finds that a private client has reserved the entire boat. The ferry's passengers turn out to be the members of a hedonistic cult that worships a lion named Frasier through mass copulation. The group has also brought a caged lion - one of Frasier's descendants - onto the boat. Matt negotiates with the group's host to let his party onboard.

On the boat, Matt and John argue over the former's enduring belief that Jarden is sacred ground. Matt suffers increasingly severe nosebleeds resulting from his resurgent cancer, which he is keeping secret. In the bathroom, a fellow passenger assumes Matt has been injured in a fight with "God," which Matt learns is in fact a moniker for one of the boat's well-known guests. Curious, Matt travels to the ferry's upper deck to meet "God," who is shown to be the same man Kevin twice encountered while in the afterlife. The man hands Matt a printed card that answers questions he is frequently asked regarding his claims of divinity. Matt later spots the man throw another passenger overboard. Unable to receive anyone's help amidst the orgy, Matt jumps overboard himself in an attempt to save the passenger, but is unsuccessful and is quickly rescued.

Matt attempts to relay his concerns to the boat's captain, who makes no effort to investigate the matter. The captain informs Matt that "God" is David Burton, a former athlete and sportscaster who made headlines after apparently returning from the dead. Burton, now a frequent and notorious guest on the ferry, is given little to no oversight from port authorities. A frustrated Matt berates the party's host for the group's callous indifference, but his utterance of the name "Frasier" causes the cult members to swarm around Matt and attempt to ceremonially extract a forced ejaculation from him. Matt breaks free and chases after Burton, but Burton incapacitates him. A sympathetic member of the Frasier cult helps Matt get up and warns him to stay on the boat when it docks.

Matt attempts to persuade the others to help him bring Burton to justice, and during an argument, he blurts out that Kevin is experiencing hallucinations of Evie (which Laurie disclosed to him in confidence). However, John does not react angrily and tells Matt that he will have to face Burton alone. Matt kidnaps Burton and brings him to a secluded area of the ship where the caged lion is being kept. Matt demands a confession from Burton, but Burton continues to give cryptic answers, still playing the role of God. Matt gradually begins talking to Burton as if he were indeed the Biblical God, demanding answers for the Departure as well as his own personal suffering, which he claims was in service of his faith. Burton, however, suggests that Matt has led his entire life out of his own self-interest. Matt unties Burton and asks him to cure him of his cancer; Burton simply reaches towards Matt's face and snaps his fingers.

The following morning, Matt reflects in solitude as the boat reaches the harbor. The captain informs him that a fishing boat discovered a body in the ocean and that Melbourne police plan to arrest Burton when the ferry docks. As the boat's passengers begin to depart, the rogue cult member Matt met earlier releases the lion from its cage. Burton spots the police approaching him and attempts to escape, but the lion mauls him to death. Matt, observing the chaos from the boat, turns to a shocked John, Laurie and Michael and nonchalantly remarks, "that's the guy I was telling you about."

In a flashback, Kevin and Nora enjoy a bath together, playfully reflecting on how they would like to be cremated. On the seventh anniversary of the Departure, Kevin Sr., Grace, John and Michael awaken to find Kevin attempting to drown himself in the pond outside the Playfords' farm. The group pulls Kevin out of the water to make sure he remembers to fulfill all of their requests while in the realm of the undead: John wants Kevin to speak to Evie, Grace wants him to find her children, and Kevin Sr. wants him to fulfill his primary task - finding Christopher Sunday and learning an indigenous song that will save the world from an apocalyptic flood prophesized to occur on the seventh anniversary of the Departure. Kevin affirms that he remembers all his commitments, and is placed back in the water.

Kevin awakens on a beach, where he is met by a Russian operative who addresses him as "Kevin Harvey," his assassin alias. The Russian prepares to execute Kevin, but is shot dead by a masked sniper who reveals himself as Dean. Dean takes Kevin to a nearby bungalow and informs him that his mission is to assassinate the President of the United States, who is planning an unauthorized nuclear strike within two hours. Dean destroys all reflective surfaces in the house and finds a typewriter containing a page of an unfinished romance novel. Kevin asks to meet Evie, Grace's children, and Sunday in exchange for completing his mission. Dean gives Kevin an earpiece that puts him contact with David Burton, who has Kevin repeat what Burton whispered in his ear on the bridge the first time they met: that Kevin is the "most powerful man in the world."

On Burton's instructions, Kevin observes his reflection in the shard of a broken mirror despite Dean's warnings not to look at reflective surfaces. He suddenly finds himself dressed in a fully white suit, preparing to give a speech in front of a crowd of Guilty Remnant members gathered outside the Melbourne capitol. Kevin realizes that he has switched places with his identical twin brother - the President. As part of the speech, Kevin calls on Liam Playford - one of Grace's children who is seated in the front row alongside his siblings - to read an essay about why he longer needs his parents. Kevin attempts to ask Liam questions on his mother's behalf, but Liam does not answer meaningfully.

The event is interrupted by Evie, who in this world is protesting against the GR. Kevin is ushered to his presidential limousine by his security detail, which includes Australian chief of police Kevin Yarborough as his personal bodyguard. On the way, Kevin's chief of staff informs him over the phone that Ukrainian separatists are preparing to release a nuclear warhead, and that the United States has two hours to launch a preemptive attack. Kevin declines the Secretary of Defense's request to raise their alert state to DEFCON 2 and demands to speak with Evie in the limo. He tells Evie on her father's behalf that John loves her, but Evie rebuffs him, revealing that in this reality, the rest of her family perished in a state-ordered drone strike.

Kevin suddenly vomits a spew of water and experiences a series of distorted memories before reawakening at the Playford ranch, where a violent rainstorm is flooding the property. John, Michael and Kevin Sr. pull Kevin out of the pond and take him inside the house. Kevin has his father drown him in the Playfords' bathtub so he can complete his mission.

Kevin reemerges outside his presidential bunker in Melbourne. He is subjected to both a facial and penile recognition scan to enter, as well as three security questions - the last of which asks him to name his Secretary of Defense. In a panic, Kevin names Patti Levin, and goes on to meet her in the bunker's situation room. Patti admonishes Kevin to launch a defensive strike against the Ukrainians, but Kevin is adamant on meeting with Sunday first. Patti calls in the Vice President - Meg - who is also reticent to launch the attack. Patti informs Kevin that in order to initiate the launch, they must enact the Fisher Protocol, an "ethical deterrent" in which the nuclear launch key was surgically implanted in the heart of a volunteer (that the President must personally kill to extract the key).

Kevin realizes that the volunteer is his assassin twin, and after taking the U.S. to DEFCON 1, uses Patti's glasses to switch bodies. Kevin the assassin arrives at the bunker and undergoes the same scans to enter; he is confronted by armed agents who are quickly assassinated by Meg, who claims to be in love with Burton. Kevin kills her, discards his earpiece, and enters the bunker's communications room to speak with Sunday, who in this world is the Australian Prime Minister. Rather than provide Kevin with the song, Sunday questions Kevin's belief in the prophecy altogether; Kevin admits that he does not genuinely believe he can stop the flood. He fights off a second wave of security and switches back into the President's body.

Patti continues to push Kevin to launch the attack, but he admits that he relishes his repeated visitations to the realm of the undead. Kevin the assassin enters the situation room; neither twin is willing to go through with the Fisher Protocol, prompting Patti to retrieve a copy of Kevin's romance novel (authored by both twins) and have the President read it. The novel appears to be a sordid reflection on the state of Kevin and Nora's relationship, in which Kevin reflects on his own self-destructive impulses. Once the President finishes reading out a passage, the assassin begs to have the launch key extracted from his heart, so that Kevin can never return to the realm of the undead again. The President uses the key to launch the nuclear strike, and he and Patti go outdoors to watch the missiles as they rain down upon them.

Kevin reawakens in the remains of the Playfords' church and notices that the rainstorm has ended without having caused a flood. Kevin climbs atop the ranch's roof to sit with his father, who asks him, "Now what?"

Nora gives a recorded testimonial consenting to be part of Dr. Eden and Dr. Bekker's experiment to replicate the Departure, having tracked down the scientists and forced them to accept her as a test subject after previously being rejected. Afterwards, she and Matt reminisce on their orphaned childhood; Matt confides his anxieties surrounding his cancer treatment, stating that he is equally afraid of death as he is of surviving without having answers to provide for those seeking his moral counsel.

After bidding farewell to her brother, Nora is debriefed on the details of the experimental procedure by Dr. Eden, and agrees to go through with the test. She disrobes and enters a truck housing the device, experiencing memories of the moments leading up to her family's departure. She enters the machine's event chamber, where she is slowly submerged in a metallic fluid. Nora is heard screaming out as the liquid reaches her head.

The episode cuts to a farmhouse in rural Australia ten years later, where an older Nora (going by the name "Sarah") lives by herself. She spends her days tending to birds that carry handwritten messages from the surrounding town back to the farm, and delivering them to a nun at a nearby church. During one of Nora's trips, the nun informs her that a man named Kevin visited the church with Nora's picture inquiring about her whereabouts. Nora claims not to know anyone named Kevin, and rides back home on her bike.

Nora soon receives a knock on her door and finds that it is an older Kevin Garvey. Kevin claims that the only time he has met Nora was during the Christmas dance in Mapleton, and that he simply spotted and recognized her while vacationing in Australia. He invites her to a local dance happening that night, but an uncomfortable Nora asks him to leave. Panicked, Nora bikes to a nearby phone booth and calls Laurie - who is still her therapist - and demands to know whether she disclosed Nora's location to Kevin. Laurie denies having done so, but suggests that Nora is only calling to clear her conscience about going to the dance with Kevin.

That night, Nora ultimately decides to attend the dance. Upon arriving, she discovers that the event is in fact a wedding between two locals that Kevin befriended. Kevin continues behaving as if he does not remember any of his history with Nora since their first encounter. Nora learns from Kevin that Matt has died of cancer after reconciling with Mary; Jill is now in a happy marriage and bears an infant daughter, while Tommy's marriage was unsuccessful; and Kevin Sr. is still alive at the age of 91. Kevin additionally informs Nora that he had a pacemaker implanted after suffering a heart attack. Nora and Kevin dance together and embrace, but Nora abruptly leaves when Kevin maintains his story, believing their reunion to be insincere.

Nora returns home to find that her birds - who were released at the wedding carrying messages from the guests intended for their loved ones - have not returned to the farmhouse. She rides to the church to confront the nun, and accuses her of lying to the locals that the birds are transporting "messages of love" around the world. The nun claims that she is not deceiving anyone, but simply offering "a nicer story." While riding home, Nora finds that a goat released into the wilderness by the wedding guests has gotten entangled in a barbed-wire fence. Nora rescues the goat and brings it home with her as dawn begins to break.

While feeding the goat, Nora sees Kevin arrive at her house in a taxi. Kevin angrily confesses that he has spent his vacation time over the last several years relentlessly searching for Nora in Australia, refusing to believe that she truly departed. He admits that his ruse of behaving like a stranger was simply an ill-fated attempt to erase the mistakes that led to the dissolution of their relationship.

Nora invites Kevin inside for tea, where he tells her he is still the chief of police in Jarden, and that John and Laurie still live next door. Nora explains to Kevin that she did not back out of the experiment; rather, she was transported to an alternate reality populated by the departed 2 percent, and that in this world, it was the other 98 percent that had disappeared. Nora claims that she found her family living happily in this alternate world, which convinced her that she had no place being with them again. She says she decided instead to track down the inventor of Eden and Bekker's machine and had him build a replica that returned her to her original reality. Nora says she longed to contact Kevin, but feared that he would not believe her. Kevin says that he does indeed believe her, as her mere presence before him attests to the truth of her story. The two join hands, happily reunited, while Nora's birds finally return home outside.

The local police in a sleepy mountain village in the Balkans are left at a loss after seven murders of women. Therefore, Interpol is asked to send an expert. His name is Inspector Frank Doren and he's an American. Doren finds that every time the power goes out in the village, a girl dies. After that, the corpses disappear. As soon as he arrived, the electricity went out again; even Doren's car won't start anymore. This time Maria is the victim, the cook of the inn where he stayed. Despite his attempts to disguise himself as a tourist, the entire village community soon knows that Doren was sent by Interpol, which doesn't make his job any easier.

Doren continues his investigations, several more or less bizarre inhabitants are suspicious: for example the innkeeper who tried to make Maria docile the night before the last murder, or the obscure village doctor who after every post-mortem examination despite clear bite wounds at the young women's throats, stereotypically insisting on his heart failure diagnosis. Even the deaf, dumb Thomas is quite nocturnal in an unseemly way, and an old fortune teller babbles about alleged vampires who are supposed to be roaming the area. They all have one thing in common: they are afraid of an ominous grotto near the village.

The village community is also very afraid of the mysterious Professor von Adelsberg, who is said to be working on a scientific study on the subject of "blood" at his high castle. At his service is the young, pretty assistant Karin Schumann. It doesn't take Frank Doren long to find out that the cultivated nobleman with the aura of the uncanny is behind the mysterious events. Doren quickly takes a liking to the professor's assistant and they both fall in love. He soon realizes that Karin is in great danger, as her boss is the wanted vampire who has the dead women on his conscience. With the help of Adelsberg's black servant John, they can locate the vampire's coffin in the stalactite cave below the castle. There he made the seven allegedly murdered women docile as undead vampires. Before the undead fiend can rise again for a new bloody deed, Doren impales him with a wooden stake. Adelsberg's decomposing body bursts into flames in a small explosion.

Cyclops and his team of X-Men land on Muir Island in response to a distress call sent by Jamie Madrox. When they arrive on the island, they find it engulfed in a mysterious gas that they eventually discover is really Terrigen Mist. Upon further exploration, they find all of the mutants on Muir Island suffered painful deaths due to the Terrigen somehow poisoning their systems, including Madrox and all of his duplicates. Goldballs begins to display signs of infection from exposure to the Terrigen. Meanwhile, Crystal leads a team of Inhumans to Japan where one of the Terrigen clouds is about to land any anyone who has latent Inhuman DNA would undergo Terrigenesis. While a few people start to undergo the metamorphosis, a Hydra strike team ambushes everyone, intent on destroying the Inhumans. Crystal and her team try to hold back Hydra and eventually one of the new Inhumans fresh from his metamorphosis named Daisuke helps them defeat the Hydra squad. Cyclops and Emma confer with Beast that the Terrigen really is becoming toxic to mutants and Cyclops immediately blames the Inhumans for carelessly putting their own people ahead of the well-being of mutants.

Storm holds an emergency meeting with Medusa to discuss this new development and how to move forward. They agree to work together to track the Terrigen cloud and evacuate any mutants who are in its way while the Inhumans assist Beast in working out why the Terrigen is becoming toxic to mutants and how to stop it. They agree to keep the nature of the Terrigen quiet in hopes of avoiding a panicked incident. After the meeting ends, Medusa makes plans for war just in case any mutants become hostile towards the Inhumans in light of this new situation. With the help of Emma Frost and the Stepford Cuckoos, Cyclops delivers a telepathic message to the entire world about the truth of Terrigen, vocally blaming the Inhumans for favoring their own whilst leaving the mutants to die. While broadcasting the message, Irma sees something in Emma's mind that Emma demands be kept quiet. Cyclops' broadcast leads to mass hysteria in Madrid where the Terrigen Cloud is heading. Magik demands a meeting with Cyclops, but he and Emma brush her aside and make new plans in private. While Cyclops' X-Men bury the mutants killed on Muir Island, Storm meets with Crystal and they combine their powers to push the Terrigen cloud away from the populace. Even with the cloud going in a new direction away from Madrid, the riot continues to grow. Crystal orders Daisuke to use his powers to make everyone fall asleep to end the riot. He does so, but it also makes Storm and her team of X-Men fall asleep. Emma converses with Magneto to make new plans on how to end the threat of Terrigen, claiming that mutants and Inhumans cannot successfully coexist.

Magneto and Emma find out that the Inhumans in Madrid put everyone to sleep, including the X-Men, making them both see this as an act of war. Emma sends Magneto to Madrid to keep the Inhumans distracted while she and Cyclops enact their plan. The Stepford Cuckoos go to Yorkshire, England and recruit Alchemy to their cause. Back in Madrid, the X-Men and civilians wake up initially thinking that they were knocked out because they failed and the Terrigen got them, but they quickly realize that they were only knocked out because of Daisuke. Assuming this is an act of aggression, Storm and her X-Men confront Crystal and her team. Storm attempts to hear out Crystal for why it happened, but the rest of the X-Men become agitated and when both sides are about to start fighting, Magik teleports in and captures Daisuke. Magneto then arrives with his own squad of X-Men and corrals everyone where they stand. Cyclops and his team of X-Men with Alchemy in tow arrive southwest of Madrid and see the Terrigen approaching. Cyclops explains his plan for Alchemy to use his powers to change the composition of the cloud.

Storm and Crystal quickly realize that Magneto is trying to distract them while Cyclops and his team attack the Terrigen cloud. Crystal immediately alerts Medusa and the rest of the Royal Family of the situation. The Royal Family arrives in hopes of reaching a diplomatic solution with Cyclops without any bloodshed in order to avoid an official declaration of war, but Cyclops has his team attack the royals so Sunfire can fly Alchemy to the Terrigen Cloud uninterrupted. While the Inhuman Royal Family battle Emma, the Cuckoos, and Magik, Sunfire gets Alchemy to the cloud where he completely changes the nature of it, making it harmless for mutants and unusable for Inhumans. However, the process exposes him to too much Terrigen and he dies after completing it. Cyclops meets Medusa and Black Bolt in the center of the cloud, where Medusa tries to get Cyclops to see how he just declared war against the Inhumans and needs to stand down before things escalate further. Outside of the cloud, Magik notices Emma starting to strain. Cyclops refuses to stand down and instead acts like he coerces Black Bolt into fatally attacking him, effectively committing suicide just as Crystal's Inhumans and Storm's X-Men finally arrive and bear witness. Storm manages to convince the Inhumans that both sides want peace despite what Cyclops did, so they agree to leave each other alone whilst simultaneously working on figuring out a means of fixing the Terrigen situation that would benefit everyone. Back at Muir Island, the X-Men all gather together to mourn Cyclops. Havok takes Emma aside, doubting Cyclops really died by Black Bolt's hand. Emma reveals to Havok that Cyclops really died from Terrigen exposure shortly after they found Madrox, meaning that the Cyclops who has been interacting with everybody ever since was only a telepathic illusion projected into everyone's minds by Emma. She explains to Havok that she did not want him to die in vain, she wanted him to die as an idea to unify the mutants under a common goal.

Setting

Set in the near future, the world has fallen to a mysterious calamity known as the Great Collapse. In order to fight the monsters that began emerging around the world humanity created the Revenants: human corpses brought back to life by implanting a Biological Organ Regenerative (BOR) parasite within the heart, acting as vampiric fighters with unique abilities. Revenants can only die if their heart is destroyed, and require human blood as nourishment to keep themselves from entering a frenzy and mutating into the Lost - cannibalistic beings devoid of reason and control.

Over time the number of Lost increases to the point where they begin to collectively emit a deadly Miasma, that hastens a Revenant’s blood-thirst and chances of frenzy. Participating in an experiment to stabilize the Revenant population and stave off the Lost, a young girl named Cruz Silva volunteers to become the "Queen of the Revenants", though she later frenzies herself and goes on a murderous rampage. More Revenants are created to defeat the Queen in a mission dubbed Operation Queenslayer, led by Cruz's father Gregorio Silva.

Though they succeeded in killing Cruz, the Lost and the miasma remain, requiring Revenants to wear filtration masks to avoid turning Lost, and the Bloodsprings (plants that produce Blood Beads, which serve as an alternative to human blood) begin to dry up.

Story

The player awakens in the ruins of a city known only as Vein sealed within a red ring of mist, the land inside known as the Gaol of the Mists. Guided by a girl in white named Io to a Bloodspring plant, the player learns that society is falling apart due to the scarcity of Blood Beads caused by a levy and distribution system and the strict protection of the very few humans remaining in the city, both enforced by Silva's provisional government, established shortly after Operation Queenslayer, leaving bloodthirsty Revenants to frenzy and turn into the Lost.

The player and Io meet Louis Amamiya, who sees the player successfully make contact with the vestige of a Lost without becoming frenzied, acquiring that Lost's memories and their Blood Code (a unique property to every Revenant that grants them their personal powers.) The player also demonstrates the ability to clear away the miasma, allowing for safer travel throughout Vein and exploration of the Bloodsprings. Louis introduces the pair to his comrade Yakumo Shinonome as their group is seeking to remedy the Blood Bead scarcity. Louis tests the player's blood and reveals that they are a 'Void-type', as their Blood Code has been damaged in some manner, allowing them to use the Blood Code of whoever shares their blood with them. The group decides to hunt down the dried up Bloodsprings and follow the flow of the veins connecting them all together in an attempt to find the source of the Blood Beads.

They meet Mia Karnstein and her perpetually near-frenzy brother Nicola, who is later seemingly killed by a mysterious hunter who has been killing Revenants permanently by destroying their hearts. The group's search takes them to the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood where the player finds a vestige of their own memories, revealing their role in Operation Queenslayer alongside Silva and the hunter known as Jack Rutherford. Though the player managed to kill the Queen and destroy her heart, Jack was forced to kill them as they had been directly exposed to the Queen's blood and almost frenzying, though he failed to destroy their heart, explaining why the player survived.

The group then encounters a massive Lost known as the Successor to the Ribcage, who was being constantly reconstituted by a large vestige which the player absorbs. The Successor of the Ribcage, revealed to be a woman from Louis' past named Aurora Valentino – explains that the experiment that made Cruz into the Queen rendered her completely immortal and even though her heart was destroyed, she would be able to resurrect herself. Thus, Silva decided to have Cruz's body divided into pieces called 'Relics', each placed in a voluntary Revenant, becoming the Successors who sealed themselves away in Crypts of their design while resisting the Relics gradually corroding their minds and turning them into beasts. Aurora directs the group to Louis' sister Karen who became the Successor of the Heart, using her power to barely maintain Blood Bead production. Aurora asks the player, revealed to be the Successor of the Blood, gained from directly defeating Cruz, to find and soothe the other Successors to prevent the Queen's resurrection. Jack is revealed to be the Successor of the Eye and caretaker of the other Successors alongside his companion Eva Roux: mercy-killing Successors once they have been overwhelmed by their Relic and storing it within Eva to act as a temporary host until a replacement could be found.

The group first travels to the snowy mountains to face the Successor of the Breath, revealed to be the real Nicola with the one that accompanied Mia revealed to be a clone that Jack killed as its existence, made by using the Relic, which was hastening Nicola's frenzy. The group reaches and soothe Nicola as he was fighting the Relic's influence, reuniting with Mia. Jack is assaulted on the way up the mountain by Juzo Mido, an amoral scientist who believes Revenants are the next step of evolution and is seeking out Silva, who became a Successor himself. Jack reveals that the Gaol of the Mists was in fact created by Silva to contain the Revenants for the sake of humanity and needed constant blood to maintain which led to the Blood Bead levy system. Jack decides to join the group to secure the other Relics from Yakumo's old friend Emily Su as the Successor of the Claw and Eva as the newly transformed Successor of the Throat, the latter joining the group after being restored.

When the group confront Mido, he reveals his true plan of undoing the Gaol as he kills his men so the Relics in his possession would instinctively merge into Silva's body, causing him to mutate and frenzy into the Skull King with the Gaol briefly dropping enough to reveal the outside world is filled with horrific monsters from the Great Collapse. Furious of Silva resisting the Relic's influence, Mido explains though the Gaol started off as a prison for Revenants, it has now become a shield from the monsters outside as he expresses his desire for the Revenants to fight the horrors and advance as a species. The group defeats him before he can reach Silva, but the damage is done with the group's only option left is the player resolving to replace Silva as the Successor. The group make their way to Silva's crypt and learn Io is a clone of Cruz, being one of many sisters acting on Cruz's desire to prevent her resurrection by attending to the Successors. The group then battle the Skull King, who loses control of his Relic as it calls the other Relics as they mutate him into the newest iteration of the Queen, the Virgin Reborn before being defeated.

The ending of the game depends on how many of the Successors the player had saved. If none of the Successors are saved, the player is killed by Louis when they begin to frenzy while attempting to absorb the Relics with the player's surviving companions becoming the current Successors. If the player only saves some of the Successors, they manage to absorb Silva's Relic and take his place in maintaining the Gaol with Io staying by their side. If the player saves all of the Successors, Io intervenes and takes the player's place and absorbs all the Relics into herself. With the Successors being restored, Io transforms into a new Bloodspring known as the Weeping Tree which replenishes the Blood Beads and maintains the Gaol as Vein begins anew. Io also produces a special amber-colored Blood Bead containing her memory, allowing the player and the group to venture into the outside world alongside their comrades almost a decade later to save whoever is still living there from the horrors.

In the final stages of World War II, in April 1945, German soldier Rudi Kleinschmidt (Walter Giller) is arrested for the perceived theft of two boxes of "air force chocolate" which, in reality, he bought on the black market. Through the efforts of court-martial judge Dr. Wilhelm Schramm (Martin Held), who accuses Kleinschmidt of Wehrkraftzersetzung and aiding the enemy, the latter is sentenced to death. His execution is prevented however by an Allied air raid and he narrowly escapes the firing squad, fetching the document carrying the sentence signed by Schramm as the bureaucratic evidence things have been going their due course.

Fifteen years later, Rudi has been making a meagre living as a street peddler. He passes through Schramm's hometown to visit a female friend, Lissy Flemming (Ingrid van Bergen). Kleinschmidt encounters and immediately recognises his former tormentor. The latter is initially unsure where he met Kleinschmidt before, but feels uneasy about him.

After the war, Schramm kept his Nazi past a secret, instead portraying himself as having resisted the regime. He rose through the ranks to become a respected senior prosecutor. His political views have not changed, however: He aids a man accused of anti-Semitism, allowing him time to escape by delaying the prosecution. The latter's wife sends Schramm a bouquet of white roses as a signal that he has escaped successfully.

Schramm does eventually remember the circumstances and subsequently – right now on the brink of yet another career step - perceives Kleinschmidt an eminent threat. Afraid Rudi might blow the whistle on him, the prosecutor attempts to scare-force him out of town, having Rudi harassed by the local police and even temporarily arrested. As his most important precaution, Dr. Schramm removes the telltale old death sentence from the files of the inquiry.

Kleinschmidt is initially willing to leave and to forget about the death sentence he once received. But – desperate – he changes his mind: Hoping his old case will be reopened and Dr. Schramm's past brought to light, he smashes a shop window to steal two boxes of the very same chocolate. He is arrested and charged. Schramm once more serves as the prosecutor in his case. During the trial he defends Rudi as he was his lawyer and not the prosecutor. Suspicion rises. Finally his tongue slips: Without fully realizing what he is saying, Dr. Schramm demands that Kleinschmidt be sentenced to death.

The trial is stopped and Schramm now only tries to escape and get away. Rudi first intends to leave town but finally decides to start a new life with Lissy Flemming, his supportive friend and hotel host.

There is a Seven Years' War, Russian soldiers are compelled to fight for the interests of France and Austria against Prussia. The midshipmen continue to serve their homeland selflessly. One - on the expedition, the other - at the court, and the third was sent to Venice, to transfer the box with the decoration. In fact, in the box the message, on which the future destinies of Europe and Russia depend.

Set in the small frontier town of Miradero, a 12-year-old girl named Fortuna "Lucky" Esperanza Navarro Prescott, who had recently relocated from the city, encounters a wild kiger mustang named Spirit Jr., the son of Spirit and Rain from the 2002 movie ''Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.''

Charlie Bucket, a poor paperboy, stops Tom from eating Jerry and befriends them by offering them a loaf of bread. While Charlie rushes home to his widowed mother and bedridden grandparents, Tom and Jerry steal a box of Wonka Bars from the shop. Grandpa Joe reveals to Charlie that Willy Wonka locked his famous chocolate factory because other candy makers, including rival Arthur Slugworth, sent in spies to steal his recipes. Wonka disappeared, but for three years resumed selling candy; the origin of Wonka's labor force is unknown. Tom and Jerry arrive at Charlie's home with the box of Wonka Bars, but Charlie convinces the two that stealing is wrong and they should return the box.

The next day, Wonka announces that he hid five Golden Tickets in five Wonka Bars. Finders of the tickets will receive a factory tour and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Four of the tickets are found by gluttonous Augustus Gloop, spoiled Veruca Salt, chewing gum-addicted Violet Beauregard, and television-obsessed Mike TeeVee. As each winner is announced on television, a man whispers to them. Charlie opens one Wonka Bar, but finds no Golden Ticket and loses hope. The newspapers announce the fifth ticket was found by a millionaire in Paraguay named Alberto Minoleta.

The television news reveals that Minoleta has been arrested for forging his ticket. Charlie opens the Wonka Bar and finds the fifth Golden Ticket. While rushing home, he is confronted by the same man seen whispering to the other winners, who introduces himself as Slugworth and offers to pay for a sample of Wonka's latest creation, the Everlasting Gobstopper. Charlie returns home with the Golden Ticket and chooses Grandpa Joe as his chaperone. The next day, Tom and Jerry rush to the factory with the Golden Ticket that Grandpa Joe forgot. Once the children enter the factory, the movie plays in the same order of the source material with the occasional interjection of Tom and Jerry interacting with the factory.

Once only Charlie and Grandpa Joe remain, Wonka dismisses them without the promised chocolate. A small Oompa-Loompa intern named Tuffy warns Charlie that Slugworth and Spike have stolen a Gobstopper and are on their way out of the factory. Following a fight in the Wonkavision Room, Charlie stops Slugworth. After this, Charlie and Grandpa Joe confront Wonka on the end of the tour. Wonka coldly explains that they violated the contract by stealing Fizzy Lifting Drinks and allowing Tom and Jerry into the factory and therefore receive nothing. Infuriated at this, Grandpa Joe attempts to protest but Wonka angrily demands them all to leave at once. Grandpa Joe then furiously suggests to Charlie that he should give Slugworth the Gobstopper, but Charlie returns the candy to Wonka. Because of this, Wonka declares Charlie the winner. He reveals that Slugworth is really "Mr. Wilkinson", an employee of his, and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test which only Charlie passed.

Tom and Jerry shrink Wilkinson and Spike for the troubles they put them through the day and use Fizzy Lifting Drinks to catch up with the others. Soaring over the city, Wonka reveals that his actual prize is the factory; Wonka created the contest to find a worthy heir and Charlie and his family can immediately move in, including Tom and Jerry.

Act One

Miss Hedge, a careers teacher, asks her noisy year eleven class what they want to be when they get older. One student of the class (16), Jamie New, gets teased about his homosexuality and reveals to the audience all he wants to be is a drag queen ("And You Don't Even Know It"). When prompted, Jamie tells the class he wants to be a performer, but Miss Hedge tells him to get real.

At Jamie's house, his mum Margaret and family friend Ray are preparing for his sixteenth birthday. When Jamie arrives home, Margaret gives him a card from his dad, with a picture of a race car. Margaret then gives Jamie his gift from her - a pair of red high heels from Meadowhall. Jamie reveals hesitation about going outside his garden in the shoes ("Wall in My Head").

The next day at school, Jamie shows his best friend Pritti his new heels, and then he is interrupted by Dean, the school bully. He taunts Pritti for being Muslim, and Jamie for being gay. Jamie taunts Dean for his small penis in return. Embarrassed, Dean leaves. Pritti encourages Jamie to go to prom in a dress ("Spotlight"). Jamie then parades around the classroom in his heels ("Spotlight (Reprise) (Star of the Show)").

At his local shop for drag queen attire, Victor's Secret, Jamie befriends the owner Hugo, and learns all about Hugo's past as a drag queen ("The Legend of Loco Chanelle (and the Blood Red Dress)"). Hugo books Jamie's first drag show at the local nightclub, and helps Jamie choose his dress ("The Legend of Loco Chanelle (and the Blood Red Dress) (Reprise)").

Meanwhile, Margaret meets with Jamie's dad, where she reveals she has been lying to Jamie about the activity of his dad, including the fact she has to write a birthday card from him each birthday. Jamie's dad tells Margaret he wants nothing to do with Jamie, claiming he is not a "real boy". Margaret ponders what her life would be like if she never met Jamie's dad ("If I Met Myself Again").

At school, Jamie pulls Pritti into a disabled toilet so she can help with his make-up. They are discovered by Miss Hedge, but Pritti tells her that she is doing Jamie's make-up for an art project. Miss Hedge tells Jamie that he should be proud of being an art project, and walks him around school in the make-up. Jamie, initially embarrassed by the attention, decides to be proud of himself, telling the school that he is doing a drag show at the local nightclub, Legs Eleven, that night ("Work of Art").

Outside Legs Eleven, Jamie bumps into Dean, who calls him a minger. Inside the club, Margaret and Ray have been introduced to a group of drag queens: Laika Virgin, Tray Sophisticay, and Sandra Bollock. Hugo emerges, now dressed as Loco Chanelle, his drag alter-ego. Jamie runs in to tell them all he cannot go on because of what Dean said. Jamie finds the dress he admired at Victor's Secret in his dressing room, with a tag on saying "Love Dad" as well as a flower delivery from Jamie's dad. Loco Chanelle, with the help of the other drag queens, encourage Jamie to find his drag self, whom Jamie calls Mimi Me, and get him ready and push him onstage ("Over the Top")

Act Two

The next day, the school is buzzing with news of Jamie's drag debut ("Everybody's Talking About Jamie"). Jamie comes into school in bright blue eyeshadow and long eyelashes. Miss Hedge once again tells Jamie to "get real", and Dean taunts Jamie, but Jamie kisses him in retaliation, leaving Dean confused.

At home, Jamie shows Margaret and Ray his new prom dress, now shortened and fitted with working flashing lights. Margaret worries if this is all too much ("Limited Edition Prom Night Special"). The phone rings, and Jamie and Margaret are called to the school.

Jamie, Margaret and Ray go to the school to meet with Miss Hedge, who tells Jamie that there have been rumours that he will be attending prom in drag, and she will not allow it. Jamie is disappointed, and Dean seems to know all about it.

In Pritti's bedroom, Jamie rants to Pritti about how he is not allowed to go to prom in drag. Pritti tells Jamie to go in a dress - not in drag. Jamie says that without Mimi Me, he is ugly. Pritti reassures Jamie that he is far from ugly ("It Means Beautiful"). Jamie reveals that when he was eight, his dad found him in a dress and was angry. He is then confused as to why he paid for the dress and bought flowers if he is not supportive of him as a drag queen. Pritti suggests Jamie should go to his house and speak to him. Before he leaves, Jamie kisses Pritti on the cheek ("It Means Beautiful (Reprise)").

At the house of Jamie's dad, Jamie's dad reveals that he did not know about Mimi Me and calls Jamie disgusting. He tells Jamie he did not pay for the dress or flowers. Jamie figures out that it was his mother doing all of this in his dad's place ("Ugly in This Ugly World").

At home, Jamie argues with Margaret over why she has been lying over all these years. Jamie screams in Margaret's face and storms out. Margaret, left alone, sings about how she will always love Jamie no matter what ("He's My Boy").

Jamie wanders the streets drunk on cider. He is approached by three local boys, and is beaten up as they shout homophobic remarks about him. ("And You Don't Even Know It (Bus Station Reprise)"). Jamie is defended by Hugo, who urges Jamie to go home and apologise to his mum.

Jamie takes Hugo's advice and Margaret and Jamie apologise to each other ("My Man, Your Boy").

At the prom, all of the kids are super excited ("Prom Song"). Pritti enters, wearing makeup and a prom dress. All the girls love it, but Dean decides to bully her. She finally stands up to Dean, and then reveals Jamie, in a white prom dress. Miss Hedge comes out of the school and refuses Jamie's admission to the prom. All the kids stand outside and chant Jamie's name until Miss Hedge gives in and lets him in. Jamie waits until everyone's gone in, and then calls Dean out from off-stage. Jamie encourages Dean to be nice just for one night, to which Dean agrees, and they walk into prom hand-in-hand ("Finale").

As an encore, the cast perform "Out of the Darkness (A Place Where We Belong)".

Six-year-old Moonee lives with her young single mother Halley in the Magic Castle, a motel in Kissimmee, Florida, near Walt Disney World. She spends most of her summer days unsupervised with her motel-resident friends Scooty and Dicky, engaging in mischief. Bobby, the manager of Magic Castle, is protective of the children. After the kids are caught spitting on a guest's car at Futureland, the motel next door, Dicky's father restricts him from playing with Moonee and Scooty for a week.

While cleaning up the car, they get to know its owner, Stacy and her granddaughter Jancey, who are living at Futureland. Jancey and Moonee quickly become friends. Later on, Dicky's family relocates to New Orleans, which saddens the group, but Dicky's father gives his son’s toys to the kids because they have no more room in their packed car.

Moonee and Scooty come across a Brazilian tourist couple at night, who are on their honeymoon. The woman wanted to go to Walt Disney World for her honeymoon and the man's assistant mistakenly booked a room at the Magic Castle instead. While watching the couple bicker about the misunderstanding, Moonee tells Scooty that she always knows when adults are about to cry.

Halley loses her job as an exotic dancer, which affects her eligibility for TANF benefits. She explains to the benefits officer that she was fired after refusing to have sex with clients at the strip club, but it is not seen as an extenuating circumstance. Unable to get a job at the diner and struggling to pay rent, Halley hawks perfume to tourists in hotel parking lots. Since the children are on summer vacation, she also babysits Scooty during the day in exchange for meals from Scooty's mother Ashley—who takes them from the diner where she works.

Halley does not keep a watchful enough eye on the children, even after a scolding from Bobby. Despite his regular work and trying to host his adult son, who occasionally comes to visit and help with work around the motel, Bobby tries to monitor the kids, but their mischief grows increasingly dangerous. They break into the motel's electrical room, causing a blackout. Bobby also catches, beats, and ejects a pedophile talking to the kids in the parking lot. When Ashley discovers that the kids had inadvertently burned down an abandoned condominium complex, she forbids Scooty from hanging out with Moonee, and cuts off her friendship (and meals) from Halley.

Needing money for food and rent, Halley begins soliciting sex work online, keeping Moonee in the bathroom with loud music when she has a client. When she steals a client's Disney resort passes to scalp them, the man returns to demand them back. Bobby scares him off, but restricts guests in her motel room and warns Halley that he will evict her if the prostitution continues. Desperate, Halley approaches Ashley to apologize and ask for money. When Ashley instead threatens her with violence, Halley attacks and beats her in front of Scooty. The next day, the DCF turn up at Halley's door to investigate her. She cleans up the room and gives away her weed but remains defiant. She takes Moonee to a resort hotel restaurant, where they charge the meal to a guest's room.

When they return to the motel, the DCF and the police are waiting to take Moonee into foster care pending investigation. Moonee says goodbye to Scooty, who lets slip that Moonee is going to a new family. Distraught, Moonee escapes the DCF to find Jancey, who, after seeing Moonee's shocking despair, takes her hand as the two run away to the Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World.

A serious little girl shows up in a village and it is quickly decided she is a witch. When she refuses to answer questions confirming or denying she is a witch, she is taken to a witch doctor who sacrifices a chicken to determine whether she is a witch or not. Believing she is a witch, the local authorities take her to a small camp made up of elderly witches, each of whom is tied to their own large spool of white ribbon. The girl is restrained with a ribbon like the other witches and forced into labour. One of the elder witches names her Shula.

Shula is taken away to adjudicate at a trial where an elderly man has claimed that money has been stolen from him. When the suspects are lined up Shula does not know which one is the thief and calls the other witches who give her contradictory advice on how to catch the thief. Nevertheless, Shula is able to correctly guess who the thief is and is rewarded for it. A senior government employee and his wife continue to exploit other people's belief that Shula is a witch by asking her to perform tasks like summoning rainfall. Shula is gradually exposed to what the wider community thinks of witches and is occasionally threatened with violence.

After an appearance on a chat show, where a caller asks why she is not in school, she is sent to a school, but one where the other pupils, like Shula, are those that have been deemed unacceptable for mainstream schools. A witch doctor and a farmer drag her away from the school by her ribbon and ask her to make it rain. She performs a rain dance and exhausts herself trying to produce results. That evening the women back at camp ask her why she is unhappy and in response she says that she wishes she had opted to become a goat. When the women are asleep she's seen leaving the tent and gathering her ribbon to its end.

In the morning two men dump a body in the field and the 'witches' are seen mourning for Shula, although it's ambiguous how she died or whether it is her body. As the women celebrate her death it begins to rain. The truck that carries the women around is shown to be empty, and the ribbons that held them hostage are flying free.

After a night of drunken partying, university student Theresa "Tree" Gelbman wakes up on her birthday in the dorm room of classmate Carter Davis. She ignores a phone call from her father and dismisses Carter, returning to her room. Her sorority housemate Lori Spengler gives her a cupcake, which she throws away. Tree meets with her married professor, Gregory Butler, with whom she is having an affair. That night, on her way to a party, Tree is lured into a tunnel and murdered by a figure wearing a mask of the school mascot.

Tree immediately wakes up back in Carter's bed, and is unnerved to find the previous day's events repeating themselves. Baffled, she relives the day, this time avoiding the tunnel and reaching the party. However, the masked killer follows her and murders her again. Tree again wakes up in Carter's bed, realizes she is in a time loop, and barricades herself in her room to avoid death. The killer, already hiding inside, murders her a third time.

Waking up, Tree explains the events to Carter. He suggests taking advantage of the loop to identify her killer. She spends the next several iterations trailing people she considers suspects but is killed each time. After waking from a loop where she is bludgeoned, Tree faints and awakens in the campus hospital. Her body shows evidence of recovery from multiple traumatic injuries, indicating she has retained physical damage from her previous deaths. When the killer shows up, Tree escapes the hospital in Gregory's car, only to be pursued and killed again.

Back in Carter's bed, Tree convinces him of her predicament by demonstrating her knowledge of the day's events. Tree admits to harboring tremendous self-loathing, particularly from pushing away her father after the death of her mother three years ago. Tree sees a local news report on John Tombs, a serial killer being held at the campus hospital. Concluding that Tombs is her killer, Tree rushes to the hospital to warn of his escape. Tombs breaks free and nearly kills Tree, but Carter follows and rescues her. Tombs kills Carter before chasing Tree to a nearby bell tower, where she subdues him with a crowbar. Before delivering a fatal blow, she realizes that if she kills Tombs and ends the loop, Carter will remain dead forever. She runs to the top of the tower and hangs herself from the bell rope.

Tree awakens in Carter's dorm room and finds him alive again. Now confident in solving her murder, she proceeds happily through the day. She ends her affair with Dr. Butler and meets her father for lunch, where the two begin to reconcile. That night, she goes to the hospital and traps and kills Tombs. Relieved to finally be free, she celebrates her birthday in Carter's room and eats the cupcake Lori gave her.

Tree wakes up still in the loop. Horrified, she returns to her room with the intent to run away, where Lori offers her the cupcake again. Tree realizes the previous loop was the only time she had ever eaten the cupcake, and she had died in her sleep. Tree realizes Lori is her true killer. Lori had poisoned the cupcake, but when Tree failed to eat it, Lori used her job as a nurse at the hospital to frame Tombs for Tree's murder. Tree threatens to take the cupcake to the police, but Lori attacks her. Lori admits to also having an affair with Dr. Butler, whose preference for Tree drove Lori mad with jealousy. In the ensuing fight, Tree stuffs the poisoned cupcake in Lori's mouth, then kicks her out of a second-story window to her death.

At a restaurant, Tree and Carter muse over the day's events and he offers her his room for the night. The next day, Tree wakes up believing she is still in the time loop, but Carter quickly reveals he was just playing a prank on her, and it is really the next day. Tree is too relieved to be angry at him, and the two kiss.

The story is based on a true story in which Diderot was also involved.

The Prince, who is not present, has made use of the artist, the author and the doctor to diagnose to his former mistress that she can only be healthy when she separates herself from the mementos of her lover. The narrative is deliberately unfinished, according to the author, because of the interruption of the project due to the death of Bonvalet-Desbrosses.

Tom is placed under house arrest, and must check in via video phone daily for thirty days or he will be returned to the institution. His parole officer, Brody, alludes to a violent crime committed by him and his older brother, Alex. Tom suffers from hallucinations of his late father, hears noises throughout the house, and receives calls from a stranger with a garbled voice, which make him believe that he is relapsing. He has a vision of a girl being drowned, and discovers a tongue preserved in a mason jar in the indoor pool's control panel, which he writes off as another hallucination. He also discovers a secret tunnel in his father's office that provides access to peepholes around the house. His brief respite comes from a market worker named Lynn, who delivers his groceries.

Tom calls Brody, who arrives to check on him. Brody misinterprets his advances and kisses him; when he rebuffs her, she becomes offended and attacks him, stealing his pills before leaving. Tom realizes that there is an intruder in the house, but discovers that it is his brother, Alex, who has escaped from prison. Although Tom believes Alex is another hallucination, Alex insists that he is real; he trashes the house, looking for hidden money from their father. Tom confesses to Lynn that when he was a teenager, he was humiliated by a girl he had a crush on in school. After he told Alex, the two scared the girl as a prank, but when she lashed out at them, an enraged Alex handcuffed Tom and forced him to watch Alex murder her. Alex went on to kill another girl, which landed him in prison and Tom in a mental institution, and their mother abandoned the family in shame and disappeared.

Brody promises to bring Tom his medication back. Tom, believing himself to be stable, returns to the pool's control panel, but still finds the jar holding the tongue. After breaking it, he discovers an underground bunker. He returns to Lynn and finds her unconscious. Panicking, he attempts to leave to get help, only to be discovered by Brody. Believing him to be killing again, Brody draws her gun before getting murdered by Alex, who prepares to murder Lynn next.

Unwilling to watch another murder, Tom attacks Alex, who overpowers him and throws him into the bunker. Inside, Tom finds a safe, as well as a chair facing a locked bedroom. Inside, he discovers a phone, which connects to the kitchen phone where he received the strange calls. He finds an old, emaciated prisoner in the locked room. He realizes the prisoner is his mother, who did not abandon them, but was kept chained up by his sadistic father; the garbled calls were from her, as it was her tongue that had been cut out. Tom frees her; Alex tearfully hugs his mother before shooting her and demanding Tom open the safe. Tom does so, revealing his father's hidden funds, but he and Lynn attack Alex. During the fight, the water pipes are damaged, and the room floods. Tom's mother chains Alex to a pipe, drowning him. Tom and Lynn are met by police. When an officer asks if the house is his, Tom replies that "It is now."

Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) wakes up in the hospital after having a seizure, now realizing the events of "My Struggle II" were a vision and haven't actually happened yet. Mulder initially presumes Scully’s ramblings are a product of her illness but leaves the hospital to investigate. Agent Jeffrey Spender later appears at Scully’s bedside, revealing that someone is looking for William. He first balks at telling her the location of her son, revealing only the name of the family that adopted him—Van De Kamp. Mulder tails a henchman who he believes will take him to The Smoking Man, but he arrives somewhere else with mysterious conspirators; Mr. Y (A.C. Peterson) and Erika Price (Barbara Hershey). They try to negotiate with Mulder into turning over his son but Mulder refuses. Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) tries to meet with Scully, but can't find her. As he goes to his car, he is met inside by The Smoking Man and Reyes. Meanwhile, Scully tries to leave the hospital but her seizures return causing her to crash her car. She is rescued by Agent Einstein and Agent Miller, and is readmitted to the hospital. Both agents leave the room. An assassin sent by Mr. Y and Erika enters and tries to suffocate Scully, but Mulder steps in and saves her by slicing the assassin's neck. As Skinner comes in, Mulder confronts him since he smells like smoke. In a flashback to when Skinner was in the car with the Smoking Man, the latter reveals (in a further flashback to 17 years, "En Ami") that ''he'', not Mulder, artificially impregnated Scully.

Scully opens her eyes in the dark, laying on her side on a bed in a mysterious house. She explores the mysterious house and ends up in an endless pattern of the same room. Mulder theorizes that the experience is a type of sleep paralysis. She goes back to her memories of her sleep paralysis, where she grabs a snow globe with a model of the boat in it. Mulder and Scully get to the dock, meeting with Detective Costa (Louis Ferreira). Later, Scully’s attention is drawn to a man that observes them intently from one of the portable walkways. Costa informs them that the victims asked if they found Ghouli. When Scully turns to check if the mystery guy is there, he’s gone. Both agents investigate the two teenagers about the slashing. Both of them go on about the experience and their boyfriend, Jackson Van De Kamp. The agents arrive at the Van De Kamp household, the same house Scully saw in her dream. Two gunshots are heard with a third coming from upstairs. Scully goes up and finds the bleeding corpse of Jackson Van De Kamp. As they leave the room and the door clicks closed, the zipper opens slowly. Jackson sits up and escapes the room. Mulder meets with Skinner at the Chimera, telling him to drop the investigation. Mulder confirms that Jackson's DNA matches Scully's. At the hospital, Jackson explains to Brianna that he’s been hiding because there are people after him. He reveals that Ghouli doesn't exist and it's just something he "made up". Jackson escapes the hospital after the death of the DOD members. The next day, Scully spots a rural gas station that has a windmill just outside. Scully meets with Peter Wong with Wong mentioning that he wishes he could know her better. The agents ask to see the recording tapes. In the recording, Scully is having a conversation with William. She smiles as Mulder holds her while they see their son, alive. Over the course of the season, they search for William. In the third episode of the "Plus One", Scully and Mulder are intimate again. In the season 11 finale, "My Struggle IV", she reveals to Mulder that she is pregnant with his child. Also in the finale, the Smoking Man shoots William, who has made himself look like Mulder.

Walter George Durst's free adaptation based on the novel Jorge Amado's ''Gabriela, Cravo e Canela'' (1958), takes place in 1925, when a devastating drought forces the hungry populations of the Brazilian Northeast to emigrate in search of survival. In the novel, the destination is Ilhéus, in the south of Bahia, a region in expansion thanks to the planting and commerce of cacao. Gabriela (Sônia Braga) is one of the victims of the drought. Free and impulsive, she gets a job as a cook at the home of the "Turkish" Nacib (Armando Bógus), with whom she lives a sensual love story.

Tyler and his mother Laura are recent arrivals in town. As the new kid in the local high school, Tyler is soon torn, being drawn in one direction by the local rebel Indrid, and in another by Paige, a sweet girl who tutors some of the local students.

Campaign

On June 6, 1944, United States Army Private First Class Ronald "Red" Daniels (Brett Zimmerman), of the 1st Infantry Division, takes part in the Normandy landings (D-Day) with his platoon, consisting of Private First Class Robert Zussman (Jonathan Tucker), Private Drew Stiles (Kevin Coubal), Technician Fifth Grade Frank Aiello (Jeff Schine), Technical Sergeant William Pierson (Josh Duhamel) and First Lieutenant Joseph Turner (Jeffrey Pierce). Following the landings, Zussman is stabbed by a German soldier, resulting in his hospitalization for several weeks.

Zussman returns to duty in time for the American breakout Operation Cobra, where American forces successfully push to reclaim the town of Marigny. The platoon is ordered by Colonel Davis (Matt Riedy) to conduct an operation with British Special Operations Executive officers Major Arthur Crowley (David Alpay) and Vivian Harris (Helen Sadler) to intercept a German armored train carrying V2-rockets. Daniels and Zussman successfully derail the train before being escorted back to their squad by French Resistance leader Camille "Rousseau" Denis (Bella Dayne).

A week later, Rousseau and Crowley infiltrate a German garrison in Paris to retrieve explosives in preparation for the platoon's assault upon it. Rousseau successfully places explosives on the garrison's gates and assassinates Ordnungspolizei ''SS-und Polizeiführer'' Heinrich (J. Paul Boehmer) in retaliation for his murder of her family, allowing the platoon to liberate Paris.

Two months later, the platoon enters Aachen, and is saved from a German attack by support from tank commander Staff Sergeant Augustine Pérez (Christian Lanz). They are ordered to take over a German-occupied hotel. They discover civilians inside the hotel's basement and Turner orders their evacuation to Pierson's dismay. A young girl named Anna (Lilith Max) goes missing, and Daniels rescues her. German soldiers open fire on a truck carrying the civilians, killing Anna's older sister, Erica. Pierson sends the truck away without protection, creating a rift with Turner.

At the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, the platoon is ordered to take Hill 493. Turner splits the platoon into two groups; Pierson and Zussman are tasked with advancing towards the hill, while Turner and Daniels cover them until they can meet at the bottom. Turner's squad soon receives a transmission revealing that Pierson ordered an attack on the hill against Turner's orders, forcing Turner to join in. The platoon destroys artillery positions, but the Germans counterattack with a Tiger II tank. Daniels is knocked out trying to disable the tank, which is destroyed by Pérez, who is killed by the tank in turn. Turner is fatally wounded rescuing Daniels, and orders Daniels to abandon him while he covers the platoon's escape. In the aftermath of Turner's death, Pierson becomes head of the platoon and makes Daniels his second-in-command, promoting him to Corporal.

At the height of the Battle of the Bulge, the platoon is surrounded by Germans. Daniels meets an African American combat engineer, Howard (Russell Richardson), who helps the platoon contact air support. The platoon captures several German soldiers, and discovers that the Germans plan to destroy the bridge at Remagen, the last bridge over the Rhine. After destroying the explosives in transit, Pierson orders the platoon to attack a nearby air base to destroy the remaining explosives. The attack fails, resulting in Daniels and Zussman being surrounded by enemy troops. Daniels is saved by Howard, while Zussman is captured and taken to a German prisoner of war camp, Stalag IX-B. Daniels disobeys Pierson and attempts to pursue the German truck carrying Zussman, but ends up injuring himself in the process and letting the truck escape. He is hospitalized, with Pierson denying him from the platoon. In Stalag IX-B, Zussman is interrogated on his Jewish heritage by SS officer Metz (George Regout), is beaten and sent to a concentration camp.

After recovering for eight weeks, Daniels learns from Davis about the events that changed Pierson in the Battle of Kasserine Pass: instead of recklessly leading his men to their deaths, like everyone thought, he disobeyed orders to retreat in a failed attempt to save part of his platoon that was trapped, losing even more in the process. Daniels later confronts Pierson in his tent and tears up his honorable discharge papers when Pierson accuses of him knowing nothing about sacrifice. They successfully capture the last bridge over the Rhine. The platoon heads into Germany, liberating concentration camps in search of Zussman, eventually reaching the Berga concentration camp, which they find abandoned; the camp's survivors were sent on a death march. Daniels finds and saves Zussman by killing Metz before he can execute him.

At the end of the war, Daniels parts ways with his platoon and returns to Texas, reuniting with his wife and newborn son. He visits the grave of his older brother, Paul (Chris Browning), who died from injuries he sustained after fighting a wolf that Daniels failed to shoot in time. He places his Bronze Star medal on the grave, saying that his brother deserves it for teaching him how to fight for himself and for his brothers.

Nazi Zombies

Austrian engineer Marie Fischer (Katheryn Winnick) is sent on a mission to her hometown village of Mittelberg by her commanding officer, Major Hank Rideau (Darin De Paul), to retrieve lost artifacts stolen by the Nazis for experimentation, as well as rescue her brother, Klaus, who provided the information. Klaus has been unwillingly working with their lead scientist Peter Straub (Udo Kier) and weapons expert Colonel Heinz Richter (Tomm Voss) on a project to exploit a new energy dubbed "Geistkraft" (literal translation: ‘Spiritforce’) to assist the Nazi party's war efforts. Marie is accompanied by Scottish history professor turned art thief Drostan Hynd (David Tennant), Art Historian turned French Resistance fighter Olivia Durant (Élodie Yung) and United States Army Captain Jefferson Potts (Ving Rhames), all of whom have significant knowledge on the stolen arts and relics. However, on their train ride to Mittelberg, the group is attacked by an unidentified colossal being. Marie is stranded from the others, and finds herself taking temporary refuge at a small house nearby, where she holds out against hordes of dead German soldiers reanimated by Geistkraft, until she is able to make her way to the village.

After reuniting with the other three, Marie and the crew proceed further down into the village's hidden bunker, where Straub has set up his laboratory. There, they fend off against Straub's undead horde, as well as Richter, whose obsession on weaponization of Geistkraft puts him at odds with Straub. Eventually, the group recovers the artifact, the Hilt of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa's Sword. They then encounter the creature from earlier, a humanoid-shaped amalgam of numerous body parts sewn and stitched together, dubbed the Panzermörder (literal translation: 'Armor Killer'), with Klaus fused into the creature's chest. Using special magnetized batteries, the group manages to stun the Panzermörder and attach the batteries onto it. Richter's zeppelin, flying above the village, attempts to pull the batteries back, which pulls the creature along as well. The Panzermörder struggles to escape, and destroys the zeppelin and itself, freeing Klaus from its body. The Hilt's power somehow revives Klaus, but in a seemingly possessed state, he staggers into the village while ignoring Marie's pleas. He tells the crew to prevent "the Emperor"'s return, before activating a fire trap, disappearing in the engulfing flame.

Days later, the crew receives intel of Straub's sighting at the islands of Heligoland, where he has been storing his undead army. They travel to the island in pursuit of Straub, as well as the next piece of Barbarossa's Sword. The crew comes into struggle with the Nazi Kriegsmarine forces protecting the island as well as Straub's latest undead creations, as he prepares for an assault on Britain. Upon solving several ancient riddles, they find a ritual chamber dedicated to the goddess Nerthus, where they acquire the Pommel of Barbarossa's Sword. The crew then calls the British Royal Air Force in for an airstrike to destroy the facility on the island; in an effort to escape, they go up against the Meistermeuchlers (literal translation: Master Assassins), zombies that are engineered to adapt to their enemies' combat style and skills. After defeating the monstrous creatures, they manage to stow away on one of Straub's zeppelins, as he and his forces return to Berlin in response to Adolf Hitler's call for rescue.

The zeppelins arrive at Berlin as the Red Army begins their invasion into the city. Realizing that the Russians will be outmatched by the undead army, the crew grabs onto one of the zombie drop pods and lands onto the ground. After assisting the Red Army by drawing Straub's attention away from them, the four recover three Geistkraft-powered melee weapons hidden around the city by the Nazis. Using the weapons as keys, they uncover a hidden courtyard, where they find the final piece of Barbarossa's Sword, the Blade. With all parts of the Sword collected, the crew infiltrates Straub's zeppelin for a final showdown, where he ends up being overwhelmed and brutally killed by his own zombies. They battle against Straub's last creation, the Stadtjäger (literal translation: 'City Hunter'), then make it back to the city where they hold out against the endless zombie horde until Rideau arrives and extracts them.

In the wake of Straub's demise, the undead army is unleashed all across Europe. United States President Harry S. Truman authorizes Rideau, now General, to form the Bureau of Archaic Technologies, a special task force consisting of global elite Allied agents, in order to combat the new threat. Unable to reassemble the Sword of Barbarossa on their own, Marie and Drostan deduce that their only option is to find the legendary forge of Thule. Jefferson, now promoted to Major, leads the team to New Swabia, Antarctica, in search of the forge upon discovery of increased Nazi activity in the region. Rideau leads a team of new Bureau recruits to transport the pieces of the Sword by different routes to New Swabia. The B.A.T. operatives head to a port at Málaga, Spain, and board a ship across the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, they encounter resistance from the undead army, but manage to prevail. At New Swabia, the crew find the forge, and upon successful deciphering of ancient Thulian runes, they finally reassemble the Sword after Rideau delivers the remaining pieces. Afterwards, the crew battles against the Guardian of the forge, and emerges victorious. The four manage to escape the forge as it collapses, but unbeknownst to them, Geistkraft energy begins to flow intensively beneath the area.

On their flight back from New Swabia, the crew's plane is shot by a bolt of Geistkraft lightning, and crash-lands near the site. They then find themselves within the Lost City of Thule, the source of the Geistkraft energy. The team uncovers ancient weapons once wielded by the Raven Lords, elite warriors who are meant to bring balance to a cycle of life and death, and uses them against the undead horde. B.A.T. agent Vivian Harris, who is sent by Rideau to recover Barbarossa's Sword from the crash, is driven insane by its power, and uses it to awaken the God King, a gigantic Thulian entity who claims to be the influence behind Straub as well as Barbarossa. The God King seemingly overpowers the four, but Klaus, who has been reborn as the Rook, arrives and charges them with Geistkraft, bestowing them the title of Raven Lords, allowing them to defeat the God King. Rideau then contacts the four, revealing his true status as a member of the Order of the Ravens, an ancient cult dedicated to serving the Raven Lords; he insists that they must now embrace their newfound titles and destiny, and lead the Order in the ongoing battle against the remaining undead forces.

Spencer (Troian Bellisario) is rescued by paramedics, and during a quick question session, she gets stunned, not knowing which surname to use, Hastings or Drake. At the hospital, the Liars find out that Toby (Keegan Allen) suffered an accident and is in the same hospital, while they begin to suspect that "A.D." is gone since Noel died. It is revealed through the Liars' conversation that Mary ran away after she revealed that she is Spencer's biological mother.

One week later, Toby reveals to Aria (Lucy Hale) that Yvonne is under induced coma, and Aria says Spencer is home safe and sound after the shooting. Meanwhile, Spencer looks for Mary in the Lost Woods Resort, but is unsuccessful. Aria packs to leave Ezra's (Ian Harding) apartment, but he suddenly appears, not letting her go. Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) wake up and decide to track down Jenna (Tammin Sursok), while Caleb promises to never lose Hanna from sight again. Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Paige (Lindsey Shaw) are introduced to Rosewood High's staff as swimming coach and athletic department supervisor, respectively. Paige leaves and Alison (Sasha Pieterse) comes in the room, revealing to Emily that she went to a doctor and she is indeed pregnant with Archer's child. Alison finds herself in a jeopardy when she discovers that Paige is a supervisor. Ezra reveals to Aria that he hasn't talked to Nicole about their wedding, while Mona (Janel Parrish) helps Hanna get back into the fashion business by showing Hanna's work to Katherine Daly (Emma Dumont), Senator Daly's daughter. However, Hanna argues with Mona when Katherine assumes that Mona is Hanna's boss. Alison and Emily discuss Alison's jealousy towards Paige. Ultimately, Alison verbally fights with Paige during a school staff reunion, leaving things awkward. While visiting a possible buffet for Aria and Ezra's marriage, Hanna and Aria run into Holden (Shane Coffey), Aria's long-time friend. Aria discovers that he is now a chef, among other skills, and they end up catching up on their lives.

"A.D." delivers an interactive board game which shows notable places of Rosewood and figurines of the Liars. They decide not to play the stalker's game, but Spencer secretly moves forward with the game. Veronica (Lesley Fera) returns home and reveals to Spencer that Peter slept with Mary Drake years ago thinking she was Jessica, resulting in a baby about to grow up in a sanitarium; then, Veronica turned to Judge Kahn — Noel Kahn's father — and adopted the child. Spencer is completely devastated by her mother's revelation and ends up finding solace in a letter written by Mary years ago that is given by "A.D." to Spencer through the game. Later, the Liars discover that Spencer played the game, and Hanna tries to break the board, but is interrupted when a video of them burying Archer's body is played. Meanwhile, somewhere, Jenna is shown in a completely dark room without her glasses, drinking tea. She reminds "A.D." of their intention to tell her about the game and "A.D." hands her a notepad on her lap with braille. Jenna reads the notes on the game and mutters "end game", as she grins in delight.

On Friday at 6:00 PM, 48 hours before the wedding, Barney, Ted, Robin, Lily, James, Marshpillow, Tim Gunn, Ranjit, and Billy Zabka continue to play poker. All but Barney, Robin, James, Billy Zabka, and Ranjit fold before long. During the later stages of the game, Robin dares James to wager his own wedding ring over his frequent jabs against getting married. Robin wins the ring, but James later brings in his mother Loretta into the mix to try forcing her to give it back. As a result, Barney is caught between siding with his mother and brother or Robin (who defeats Loretta in a round of strip poker and gets her special blouse). Lily counsels him that in a marriage, the husband always stands by the wife. This prompts Barney to declare that he's severing his ties to James and Loretta after realizing that they're both selfish, but claims Robin ordered it so.

Lily is visibly displeased at Ted's plans to give Barney and Robin three wedding gifts. Future Ted says her anger stemmed from Ted's apparent failure to give them a wedding gift six years before; Marshall repeatedly signaled Ted about it ever since (even as he was about to marry Stella). When Ted is questioned about the present, he insists that he sent them a coffeemaker as his gift but also dropped his own hints for Marshall to acknowledge it. Lily discovers that Ted never got a thank-you note because Stuart passed it off as his present; he claims the item further strengthened his marriage to Claudia. Ted reconciles with Marshall by placing an order with their old Chicago pizza haunt ''Gazzola's'' and having a delivery man send it to Marshall as he and Daphne pass through Chicago. Future Ted then reveals he received a thank-you note from Marshall four months later.

Loretta lets Robin keep the blouse, but warns that she's not yet finished with her.

A semi-remake of the earlier Popeye cartoon Rocket to Mars, Popeye drives along a country road in his boat-shaped car. When he sees that a bridge is out, he takes care of the problem with the help of some spinach. Meanwhile, an alien spaceship approaches Earth with its occupants bent on finding and abducting an average Earthman to conduct their tests on. They find Popeye instead, and snatch him away from his car via a propeller-mounted plunger. Later, the ship arrives at its planet of origin (determined by Popeye to be Mars). Many green-skinned aliens are in attendance as the Earthman is put on the first of their sinister machines: a Cosmic Ager that soon makes him turn 125. Not amused by the experiment, he counters by eating his wonder vegetable, and reverts to age two. After the child regurgitates some excess spinach, he goes back to age 40. Next, he is strapped to a cruel contraption that would drop the huge "Atom Apple Smasher" upon his outstretched neck. Perusing a third can of spinach makes his Adam's apple as hard as Gibraltar and the massive hammer is split in two. The abductors then successfully try disintegrating the powerful being and, when his last spinach can is all that is left of him, the aliens fight for the source of his great might. Popeye is not entirely gone, however, and his invisible hand secures the spinach. Visible and strong again, he joins the spacemen's fight until they are finally pacified. He then borrows their spaceship and safely travels back to Earth while singing his song.

The book opens in Munich, with Eytan Eckstein and his team of Israeli agents on the hunt for master terrorist Amar Kamil. However, Eckstein makes a fatal mistake, killing the wrong man, and is himself badly wounded during the failed assassination. Thereafter, while relegated to a punitive desk job, Eckstein discovers that the members of his old team are being killed off, one-by-one. Benni Baum, his faithful commander, supports Eckstein's hunch that Amar Kamil is back in play, and the pair of renegade agents sets off to stop Kamil from committing a revenge assassination in Jerusalem that could engulf the Middle East in flames.

In the opening scene, Sook-hee, a highly skilled assassin, enters a hallway and kills numerous people before being surrounded by cops and smiling a grim smile.

She is drugged and taken to South Korea's intelligence agency, where they give her plastic surgery. To give her a new start, they also fake her death and assign her a new name: Chae Yeon-soo. Yeon-soo says she does not care and wants to die. They tell her she is pregnant and offer her a deal: if Yeon-soo trains with them and works as an agent, she will be free after 10 years of service. She accepts and while in training, gives birth to a daughter, Eun-hye.

In a flashback, we see 20-year-old Sook-hee as a highly skilled assassin trying to kill Jang-Chun, a man with yellow teeth. She is captured and, while beating her, Jang-Chun tells her he did not kill her father. A man with a mustache, Lee Joong-sang, arrives, shoots him, and frees Sook-hee.

The agency's leader, Kwon-sook, sends Yeon-soo on her first "assignment". The target she kills turns out to be the father of a young girl. This triggers a flashback to 7-year-old Sook-hee, hidden under a bed, seeing her father killed. Sook-hee does not get a look at the killer's face; she only hears him whistling an eerie tune. Later, Jang-Chun, the man with yellow teeth, enters the room and finds her. He sells Sook-hee to a prostitution ring. She is about to be raped by a client when Lee Joong-sang arrives and rescues her. He decides to train Sook-hee to be a killing machine, and she becomes devoted to him.

Having completed her first assignment, Yeon-soo is given an apartment to share with her daughter Eun-hye. Unknown to Yeon-soo, Kwon-sook places an agent in the apartment next door. His name is Jung Hyun-soo, and he is to befriend Yeon-soo and keep tabs on her. After a few meetings, Yeon-soo asks him out.

In another flashback, Sook-hee and Joong-sang get married. She says that she is willing to let go of her thirst for revenge if she can get married and live a normal life. Seeing that his trained assassin would no longer be of much use, Joong-sang sets up an act. While on their honeymoon, he fakes saving a gang member called Choi Chun-Mo and stages his own death. When Sook-hee hears he is dead, she loses her mind, goes on a killing rampage and takes out a whole gang that was known to hate Joong-sang. Joong-sang expects her to die killing his rivals, but they are no match to her.

While on a mission with Min-ju, another agent, Yeon-soo is caught stealing a phone. In the ensuing fight, Min-ju is killed. The stolen phone has documents about Choi Chun-Mo and the agency is worried that since Yeon-soo knew him, she may be a double-agent. Hyun-soo comforts her and this brings them closer together.

The agency wants Yeon-soo to kill her next target from a wedding catering company, so they arrange a wedding between her and Hyun-soo. During it, Yeon-soo aims a rifle out a window and finds out her target is Joong-sang. Shocked that he is still alive, she fails to kill him. Joong-sang backtracks the location from which the shots come and identifies Yeon-soo as Sook-hee. He meets with her once again and reveals that Hyun-soo is actually an undercover agent.

Joong-sang's gang gets to Hyun-soo and Eun-hye. Hyun-soo reveals that Eun-hye is, in fact, Joong-sang's daughter, hoping for all the killing to stop. Joong-sang says he does not care and plants a bomb near them. As Yeon-soo reaches her apartment, she watches the bomb go off. Hyun-soo and her daughter die.

Consumed with revenge, Yeon-soo tracks down Joong-sang to a parking garage and kills a lot of his men. She confronts Joong-sang, who escapes to the street and meets with his remaining henchmen. They all speed off in a shuttle bus. Yeon-soo chases after them, catches up to the bus, boards it, crashes it, and finally holds an axe over Joong-sang's head. He puts his head down and starts whistling the same eerie tune. She strikes him in the head with the axe. Before walking out of the wreckage with the police surrounding her, she smiles a grim smile.

The story is about the loyalty and betrayal between an inmate leader and an undercover cop/prisoner, who team to take over a gang. It centers around the main character Hyun soo, the undercover cop, and Han Jaeho the inmate leader.

Dae-ho is an ex-cop who is forced to quit his job when an impulsive bust left his partner stabbed and a major felon on the run. Five years have passed since that incident, and now Dae-ho runs a humble restaurant in his hometown Gijang. Never one to question his own superior strength, smarts and righteousness, Dae-ho has appointed himself the unofficial "sheriff" of the village, and assembled a dubious posse of locals to keep an eye on things. So when a face from Dae-ho's past re-emerges, claiming to have left crime behind and promising great things for the town, Dae-ho has his suspicions, and he is going to act on them.

The titular father and daughter swap bodies after a car accident and are forced to go through each others' life without letting the mother know.

A king and his archivist search for the truth behind a crime that threatens the stability of the kingdom.

A murder case happens in a stone mansion in Seoul, sometime in the late 1940s after Korea was freed from Japanese colonialism.

Before the case, there is a circus magician named Lee Seok-jin, who was famous nationwide for his extraordinary skills. One day, he met a woman named Jung Ha-yeon, and after saving her from an unpleasant incident, they build up a friendship, which eventually evolved into romance and love. Subsequently, due to her beautiful looks, the circus master recruited Ha-yeon to perform on stage with Seok-jin, who became her partner in every magical performance. Later, both Seok-jin and Ha-yeon married and Ha-yeon became pregnant.

One day on a bus, by chance, Seok-jin saw Ha-yeon on a street passing a letter to a woman. He enquired her what is it, and she said she merely helped a passer-by to pick up a thing. Afterwards, Seok-jin and Ha-yeon went to the capital Seoul on a new contract for further performances. Later, after a performance and while alone in a hotel they lived in, Seok-jin noticed a bag belonging to Ha-yeon was hidden under their bed, and uncovered a rectangular copper plate from the bag, which resembled a tool to make fake cash notes. When Seok-jin asked her about it, Ha-yeon said that during the Japanese colonial period of Korea, a man under the Japanese name Shigeru Okamoto approached her uncle, who was a copper metalsmith, and paid him a huge sum to manufacture the copper plate.

Shortly after Ha-yeon's uncle finished the task, he was killed, presumably by Okamoto for the copper plate, which Ha-yeon found buried under a tree in her house. The Japanese police and Okamoto also repeatedly probed Ha-yeon over the whereabouts of the copper plate, which led to her having to hide it and ran off from these people. Sensing that Ha-yeon's life will still be in danger and she will still be silenced even if she handed over the copper plate to Okamoto, Seok-jin went down wanting to contact Okamoto to stop him from getting near his wife, as he earlier received a letter from Okamoto who ominously stated he will find Ha-yeon. Unfortunately, just as Seok-jin waited for the phone call, Ha-yeon was being pushed to her death by someone, presumably Okamoto.

Grief-stricken over the death of Ha-yeon and his unborn child, Seok-jin turns to alcoholism and abandoned his career as a circus magician. One day, while he was drunk while walking on a street, he stumbles upon a fake bank note which a passer-by littered on the road. Seeing the fake note, Seok-jin slowly became filled with vengeance and decided to avenge Ha-yeon. First, he went after the Japanese police officer who was formerly in charge of investigation Ha-yeon's uncle's murder, and who was still residing in Korea. The Japanese police officer, who was confronted by Seok-jin, managed to subdue him with the help of his subordinates, and asked him his reason to find him. After hearing Seok-jin's story, the policeman, who was about to leave for Japan and who was also being tricked by Okamoto over the fake bank note incident, then gave a description of Okamoto, describing Okamoto, who did not have a photograph, as a Korean man who was fluent in English, Chinese, Japanese and even German, and stated that Okamoto was always together with a woman. Before he leave, he left behind a fully loaded revolver for Seok-jin to kill Okamoto and even scarred him on the lip.

Acting upon the Japanese's tip-off to look for Okamoto in Seoul, where many people used counterfeit bank notes often, Seok-jin changed his name to Choi Seung-man, and changes his appearance by plucking away a chip of his tooth, and became a penniless taxi-driver who always fetch rich customers and businessmen. He also specially place a mat with written German words behind the backseat, as a way to test if the passenger could read it, as well as burning each bank note he received from each passenger to test if the note was counterfeit. This went on for two years, and one night, while Seok-jin was driving a passenger to a brothel, he heard the male passenger telling him what the German words meant and fluently recited them in German; he also found out that the bank note was fake after burning it the moment the man alighted the taxi. Realising that the man could be the mysterious Shigeru Okamoto, Seok-jin secretly entered the brothel and saw him together with the female brothel owner, who turned out to be the same woman he saw together with Ha-yeon on the day before he and Ha-yeon shifted to Seoul.

Under his alias Choi Seung-man, Seok-jin approached the man, and finally, after much begging and pleading, the man hired him as his personal driver; Seok-jin also found out that the man's real name is Nam Do-jin. Seok-jin then spent his days as Do-jin's driver living in Do-jin's stone mansion and secretly watching the man's every move, slowly trying to make a move to execute his revenge plan. One day, Do-jin, who earlier received a phone call looking for him by his Japanese identity, wanted Seok-jin to make a phone call at 10 pm to a number he gave him, wanting him to tell the recipient that he received a copper plate (which was the one used to make fake bank notes) and not to look for him again. The recipient, who was a printer owner involved in making counterfeit bank notes, was later killed by Do-jin after he told Do-jin that the copper plate was in the brothel owner Mdm Sung's possession.

Mdm Sung, who overheard the murder from the phone (as the printer owner had called her prior to Do-jin attacking him), contacted Seok-jin, whom she knew was Ha-yeon's husband. When Seok-jin asked if Mdm Sung was the woman whom the Japanese police officer claimed to be with Do-jin, Mdm Sung laughed and taunted him that Ha-yeon was the woman whom the officer is referring to, and even tauntingly claimed that Ha-yeon was a lover of Do-jin before they separated. Angered at the brothel owner's words, Seok-jin nearly killed her but managed to control himself and went back to Do-jin's mansion with the copper plate and a letter, which Sung claimed was the truth about Ha-yeon. Do-jin later met up with Sung (who had a one-sided crush on him) and killed her and dismembered her after telling her that he killed Ha-yeon to silence her and has never loved her or Sung and failing to receive the copper plate, which could be evidence to prove his crime.

After going back home with Sung's severed head, Do-jin was confronted gunpoint by Seok-jin, who was bent on avenging Ha-yeon's death. After a fight between them which also continued down the basement, Do-jin was knocked unconscious by Seok-jin, whose right finger was cut off by Do-jin using an axe during the fight. Seok-jin was about to shoot Do-jin but after seeing his severed finger, he decided to not shoot Do-jin. He planted fake evidence to make it look like that Do-jin had killed "Choi Seung-man", fired a few gunshots in the house and left behind his finger. Additionally, after reminiscing his past memories of Ha-yeon, Seok-jin burned Sung's severed head in the furnace and the letter given to him by Sung, deciding not to read it; he rather accept the fact that he loved Ha-yeon instead of investigating her true feelings further. Seok-jin fled and went into hiding after tipping off to the police with an anonymous identity that a "murder" had taken place in Do-jin's mansion.

Do-jin was subsequently arrested and charged with the murder of "Choi Seung-man". While Do-jin was on trial, the prosecutor, who investigated and uncovered some evidence of Do-jin's illegal manufacture of counterfeit bank notes, argued in court that Do-jin killed "Seung-man" in order to silence him and prevent him from exposing his illegal deeds, and several witnesses had testified for the prosecution, including medical experts who certified that the fingerprints on the severed finger belonged to "Seung-man", and that the blood type of the bloodstains and body part remnants (Sung's head) were blood type A, which proved that Do-jin killed "Seung-man". However, Do-jin, who knew that he himself was truly innocent, insisted in his defence that he had no motive or reason to kill his driver, and the defence lawyer impeached the statements of all witnesses by stating there is no direct evidence that Do-jin had killed his driver, who was described as a penniless lunatic by witnesses known to Do-jin. This fierce battle went on until a few months later, in light of the circumstantial evidence and arguments from both sides, the judge warned the prosecutor that if he did not provide further new evidence in the final hearing to prove his case against Do-jin, the court would have to acquit Do-jin.

In the next hearing, Seok-jin, dressed in a formal black suit, showed up as a witness, and he told the court that he was indeed the anonymous caller who contacted the police about the murder. Do-jin, who recognised Seok-jin as his driver "Choi Seung-man", pointed out that Seok-jin was Seung-man, and when the defence lawyer asked to see if Seok-jin indeed did not have a right finger, Seok-jin revealed to the court that he did not have a right hand, claiming that he lost it while trying out a new magic trick, which was supported by a medical report and witness statement. Do-jin, enraged beyond words that his story and innocence was not believed, tried to attack Seok-jin but ultimately subdued by the guards.

After Seok-jin gave his story to the court, the prosecutor argued that it was not to be believed that Seok-jin, who was apparent strangers with Do-jin and had no feud against him at all, would pretend to be the "victim" Choi Seung-man, pretend to be dead and come back alive in the trial to further frame Do-jin for "committing" the crime. Seeing that he could not prove that Seok-jin was Choi Seung-man, and knowing that in turn of proving his innocence over his driver's "murder", he would be guilty of the other three murders he committed throughout the film and the manufacturing of fake bank notes, Do-jin was forced to confess that he indeed killed "Seung-man". As a result, Nam Do-jin was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, with no chance of release from prison on parole for good behaviour. He was also set to stand trial for the other crimes he earlier committed on a later date.

Having achieved his goal of revenge, and having finally sought justice for Ha-yeon (and their murdered child), Seok-jin returned to the circus and continued his career as a circus magician and performer, while continuing to love Ha-yeon deeply in his heart and had kept a photo of her and her ring by his side.

Clarence is an awkward young man who is in love with a bartender named Alex. Despite visiting the bar multiple times, and an awkward encounter, Alex doesn’t really seem to notice him, partly due to preoccupation with her ongoing divorce proceedings. In order to get her attention, Clarence enlists the help of Patrick, a patron of another bar who seems to be able to get any woman he wants. After Patrick beats Clarence at an expensive game of pool, Patrick becomes interested in helping when Clarence offers him bigger money. Clarence appears to be very wealthy – he drives a fancy car and mentions that his last name is Duffield, indicating that Clarence is from a wealthy, well-known family. Patrick agrees to help him win over the girl. His plan is extreme – for $25,000, Patrick and others will kidnap Alex, and Clarence will rescue her. The experience will supposedly make Alex fall in love with Clarence.

After leaving the bar one night and walking through the parking garage, Alex gets a text from her husband saying he will agree to sign the divorce papers. After realizing the papers are not in her bag, Clarence nearly runs over her while backing out of his parking space. Just then, a black van pulls up. A group of people in masks, one of them Patrick, abducts Clarence and Alex.

The kidnappers go to Clarence’s residence, a large mansion. An alarm is set off when the kidnappers enter, but Clarence disarms it. Jade, Patrick’s girlfriend, and another kidnapper take Alex upstairs. While alone briefly, Clarence asks Patrick why he’s using a device to disguise his voice. Patrick says it’s for anonymity.

While Jade and another kidnapper are distracted, Alex runs and tries to escape. While trying to recapture her, one of the kidnappers is killed by Alex with a pair of scissors. After Alex is recaptured, Clarence and Patrick renegotiate, and Patrick raises his price to $75,000. Alex escapes from her room a second time and tries to climb down one of balconies of the mansion. She is startled by one of the kidnappers, falls to the ground, and is knocked out.

While the kidnapper takes Alex back inside the house, a police officer shows up at the mansion; the security company called about the alarm, but no one answered. Clarence, Patrick, Jade, and KJ try to play it cool with the police officer. At the same time, the kidnapper watching Alex (who has woken up) accidentally reveals his real name, Carl, to her. An argument ensues and Carl yells and becomes violent. Alex screams. The officer hears the commotion, but Patrick quickly pulls his gun on the officer. Clarence runs back inside and finds Carl smothering Alex. Outside, Patrick shoots and kills the officer. Inside the house, Clarence shoots and kills Carl. Alex is relieved that Clarence has saved her life, but Patrick comes in, beats up Clarence, and drags him downstairs. They argue, and Patrick shoots Clarence in the arm and raises his price to $100,000.

Patrick orders KJ, one of the kidnappers, to start cleaning up the around the house and move the bodies to the van. In order to calm Jade, who is disturbed by all the violence, Patrick gives her an engagement ring. Jade’s fear turns to happiness. KJ finds an AR-15 rifle in the trunk of the police car.

Tired and frustrated, Patrick demands the money. Clarence takes Patrick back behind the mansion where he shows him a locked briefcase at the bottom of the pool. When Clarence admits the briefcase has been there all night, Patrick realizes that there is only $25,000 in it. He pushes Clarence into the pool to retrieve the briefcase. At the same time, KJ goes to the kitchen to look for cleaning products, but finds all the drawers and cabinets empty. He goes to the garage and finds a Toyota car, and inside, a rental ad for the mansion and an insurance document listing Clarence’s last name as “Clark,” not “Duffield.”

Upstairs, Alex recognizes Jade’s engagement ring. Outside, Clarence gets the briefcase but pulls Patrick into the pool as he is getting out and runs around towards the front of the house. KJ comes out to the back yard and informs Patrick that Clarence isn’t who he says he is. Patrick instructs KJ to go to the front of the house to find Clarence.

Patrick goes back inside the house with the briefcase, without his mask on, and is confronted by Jade and Alex. Patrick is Alex’s husband; Alex realized that he was one of the kidnappers when she saw Jade’s ring, which is actually Alex’s wedding ring. KJ radios Patrick that the tires on their van have been slashed (Clarence slashed them). Patrick shoots and kills Jade, and Alex runs into the backyard. KJ tries to shoot her but misses. He goes back inside as Clarence, off screen, calls the police and cuts the power to the house. Patrick and Alex fight at the front of the house and Alex is shot in the leg. She runs back inside the house. KJ and Clarence find each other in the kitchen and struggle, but Clarence gets away, taking a knife with him. Clarence and Alex then find each other and kiss passionately. After he and Alex hide briefly, Clarence pushes KJ down a flight of stairs. KJ accidentally shoots and kills himself with the AR-15.

Now downstairs, Clarence takes the AR-15 from KJ, and Alex takes KJ’s handgun. Patrick finds them and a brief gunfight ensues. The AR-15 finally runs out of bullets, and the three of them are in a standoff: Patrick, holding a gun and the briefcase, Alex, holding a gun, and Clarence, holding only a knife. Patrick has realized not only that Clarence lied about who he is, but that he actually knew who Patrick was the entire time. Clarence reveals that he saw Patrick and Alex when they were happily married and saw their marriage crumble. He also figured out why Patrick would not divorce Alex – he wanted the money Alex inherited from her grandmother. Clarence knew that Patrick would jump at an opportunity to kill Alex and get her inheritance. Just as Patrick is about to shoot Alex, Alex shoots him. Patrick drops his gun. Clarence tells him to open the briefcase. Inside is not money, but Alex’s divorce papers. Clarence gives Patrick two choices: sign the divorce papers, or Alex will decide what happens to him. Patrick signs them.

Patrick walks out the front door as police start to arrive. Alex is both stunned and puzzled, as Clarence doesn’t really even know her, but Clarence tells her that he loves her. He explains that after her marriage went bad, he saw her guarding herself from ever being loved again. “So you almost killed me to show me that I’m alive?” she asks. Clarence responds, somewhat embarrassed “Yeah, something like that.” With the police outside Clarence gives Alex two options: shoot him, since he deserves it for everything that he put her through, or, let the police arrest him. But he tells her to promise him that she is going to live her life knowing that she deserves to be happy. Alex replies neither of those options are positive for him, but Clarence doesn’t feel he deserves a positive option. Alex then asks what option three would be; to her there must be an option three. Clarence replies “Well, if there’s an option three, I guess it’d have to be…” as the screen goes to black.

Prince Dmitry prepares for the battle too and takes a ride to Sergius of Radonezh for a blessing. After that his army rides to Kulikovo field. Together with an old commander Bobrok he thinks over the strategy of the upcoming battle. By dawn Rus’ and the united Mongol and Tatar armies took places for battle. It starts with the duel of Peresvet and Chelubey. The former is a monk, one of two brothers, that Sergius sent with Dmitry, and Chelubey is a Mongol warrior. In the duel warriors pierce each other with spears and die the same moment. Rus’ army holds the pressure of the Mongols, until Mamai sends reinforcements. Knights of the ambush regiment, which head is Bobrok, urge to assist, but the commander waits for a signal.

Sometime in the near future, physicist and former NASA pilot Will Porter is recruited by Alterplex, a power company that has built a massive tower that taps into unlimited quantum energy. It is revealed that it is destroying a mirror universe Earth referred to as "The Echo" and that the inhabitants there also have an energy tower. Strange gravity anomalies and unexplained deaths are occurring in The Echo world that are blamed on the tower, as it takes energy from that world. There was supposed to be no life there but due to a malfunction, the device created a true mirror Earth full of life, and now both Earths face destruction unless one is destroyed within less than a day.

Porter has been sent to The Echo with a cube device called the "Redivider" believing it will balance the power transfer between the two universes and set things right. Instead, he learns the device is a kill switch that will destroy The Echo forcing him to decide which universe to sacrifice in order to save the other. The armies in The Echo know this and are trying to arrest or kill him. There is also a group of "anti-tower rebels" who are actively fighting the armed forces of the towers.

In 1975, eight-year-old Jean Grey is orphaned in a car crash. Professor Charles Xavier brings her to his School for Gifted Youngsters, promising to teach her to control her mutant abilities.

In 1992, during the Space Shuttle ''Endeavour''’s first mission, the shuttle is damaged by solar flare-like energy, and the president calls upon the X-Men to save the astronauts. Rescuing the crew, Jean is struck by the energy; her psychic powers become amplified, but harder to control as her emotional state deteriorates. Xavier reveals to the other X-Men that he suppressed Jean’s memory of causing the car crash as a child to keep the psychological trauma from making her unstable, but her enhanced power is destroying the mental blocks and she develops PTSD.

Jean travels to her hometown after seeing visions of her father and finds him alive, having survived the car crash and forsaken her. She recovers her memory and realizes that her powers, uncontrollable at the time, caused the crash and killed her mother. The X-Men arrive and, after a skirmish in which Peter Maximoff is injured, Xavier mentally freezes everyone to allow Raven Darkhölme to persuade Jean to come home, but Jean accidentally kills Raven.

Fleeing to the island of Genosha, a mutant refuge run by Erik Lehnsherr, Jean asks him for help controlling her rage, but military helicopters arrive, demanding Jean's surrender; she attacks them, and Erik angrily banishes her. She is found by Vuk, leader of a shape-shifting alien race known as the D'Bari, who explains that the cosmic force Jean absorbed had wiped out the D'Bari planet, consuming everything in its path until it was drawn to Jean. She offers to help Jean learn to use the force safely.

Hank, blaming Xavier for Raven’s death, leaves the school and allies with Erik and his faction of mutants in a plan to kill Jean in New York City. Learning of Erik's plan, Kurt Wagner teleports the X-Men to New York to save her. While the two factions battle, Erik confronts Jean and Vuk but is defeated by Jean’s amplified powers. Xavier convinces Jean to read his memories, helping her former personality resurface. Remorseful, she attempts to let Vuk take the Phoenix Force from her, but Scott Summers stops her when Charles realizes Vuk intends to use the force to conquer Earth. Government troops subdue both mutant factions while Vuk escapes.

The mutants are confined on a train, and Vuk and her D'Bari forces attack, overpowering the soldiers while the mutants are freed. Charles and Scott convince Hank, Erik, and his allies that Jean is not beyond help, and they unite to fend off the D'Bari attackers before Vuk arrives. Charles confers with Jean within his mind, and she forgives him, saving the mutants from the ensuing train wreck and disintegrating the remaining D'Bari. Vuk again attempts to drain the force from Jean, who flies them into space to unleash all of her power and kill Vuk. Jean then transforms into a phoenix-shaped being of energy.

Xavier's school is renamed the "Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters" and Charles retires as dean, with Hank taking his place. In Paris, Charles is surprised at a café by Erik, who invites him to a game of chess, while a flaming phoenix appears high in the sky.

Henry Brogan, a 51-year-old former Force Recon Marine Scout Sniper working as an assassin for the Defense Intelligence Agency, is sent to assassinate a bio-terrorist aboard a train in Belgium. Henry's spotter warns him of a young girl approaching the target, causing Henry to delay his shot until the last second, shooting the man in the neck despite aiming for his head. Disillusioned with killing, Henry retires.

In Buttermilk Sound, Georgia, Henry meets boat rental manager Danny and reconnects with his old friend Jack, who reveals that an informant named Yuri claims that the target on the train was innocent. Demanding proof, Henry has Jack arrange a meeting with Yuri. In retaliation, agency director Lassiter plans to kill Henry; Clay Varris, director of a rogue private military company codenamed "GEMINI", is denied permission to eliminate him.

Deducing that Danny is a fellow agent sent to monitor him, Henry befriends her. After his home is broken into by government agents, Henry calls his spotter, who is killed along with Jack and his mistress. Henry warns Danny, and they kill the assassins sent after them, realizing the agency wants them both dead.

Henry and Danny escape to Colombia with Baron, Henry's former colleague, hiding at Baron's home and planning to meet with Yuri. Clay dispatches his top assassin to kill Henry. Fighting him off, Henry realizes the assassin bears an uncanny resemblance to himself as a young man. Arriving at a safe house, the assassin is revealed to be Clay's adopted "son" Junior. Curious about his similarities to Henry, Junior is ordered to finish the job.

Danny suggests the assassin might be Henry's child, despite his denials. Desperate for answers, Henry has Baron obtain a Gulfstream and transport them to Hungary. Testing DNA recovered from Junior, Danny discovers that his and Henry's DNA are identical – Junior is Henry's clone. Henry meets Yuri and learns of GEMINI's cloning project; the man he killed on the train was a scientist who tried to leave the project, having designed a method to produce clones devoid of pain or emotion.

Henry calls Lassiter, who agrees to send Junior to bring Danny safely back to the United States. Collecting Danny, Junior sets up a trap for Henry, who is warned via a covert listening device hidden in Danny's mouth. Ambushing the younger assassin, Henry explains to Junior that he is a clone, revealing their similar traits that no one else could know.

Escaping to GEMINI, a heartbroken Junior confronts Clay, who claims that he must defeat Henry in order to surpass him. Finding Henry, Junior allies with him to bring down Clay, and Henry urges Junior to quit in order to become someone better. Baron is killed in an ambush ordered by Clay, with Junior knocking Clay unconscious after a brief hand-to-hand fight.

After defeating a wave of GEMINI operatives, Henry, Danny, and Junior face another seemingly unstoppable operative with special body armor. They manage to mortally wound him, and he is discovered to be another youthful clone of Henry, lacking all emotion and ability to feel pain. Defeated, Clay tries to justify his actions to Junior: clones with Henry's skills would spare the lives of soldiers while making operations incredibly successful. Disgusted, Junior prepares to shoot Clay, but Henry persuades him otherwise and kills Clay himself.

Assured that no more clones were produced and they are finally free, Henry later meets with Junior, who has enrolled in college under the assumed identity of "Jackson Brogan" after Henry's mother's surname. Together, Henry and Danny plan Jackson's future.

In 1561, nineteen-year-old Mary Stuart, the Catholic queen of Scotland, returns to her home country from France following the death of her husband, Francis II of France, to take up her throne, where she is received by her half brother, the Earl of Moray. In neighbouring England, Mary's twenty-eight-year-old cousin Elizabeth is the Protestant queen of England – unmarried, childless, and threatened by Mary's potential claim to her throne. Mary dismisses the cleric John Knox from her court. A Protestant and leader of the Scottish Reformation, Knox views Mary as a danger to the kingdom's Protestant supremacy.

Seeking to weaken her cousin's threat to her sovereignty, Elizabeth arranges for Mary, whom many English Catholics regard as their rightful queen, to be married to an Englishman. She chooses Robert Dudley, whom she secretly loves; although he and Mary are unwilling, news of Elizabeth's smallpox convinces Mary to accept, provided she is named Elizabeth's heir. Reluctant to let go of Dudley, Elizabeth sends Lord Darnley to Scotland with the pretence of living under their religious freedom. Despite sensing the ulterior motive, Mary grows fond of Darnley and eventually accepts his proposal.

Mary's impending marriage causes a constitutional crisis within both realms: Elizabeth is advised to oppose the marriage for fear that Darnley, an English noble, will elevate Mary's claim to the crown; Mary's council is suspicious of Darnley, fearing an English takeover. Both kingdoms demand his return to England but Mary refuses, leading Moray to mount a rebellion against her. Mary marries Darnley, only to discover him in bed with her friend and private secretary, David Rizzio. Mary quashes the rebel forces but spares Rizzio and Moray, and demands that Darnley give her a child. When a child is conceived, Mary declares the child is "heir to Scotland and England" – offending the English.

Moray colludes with Darnley's father Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox, to undermine Mary. They spread rumours that her child was illegitimately fathered by Rizzio, driving John Knox to vehemently denounce Mary as an adulteress. Fearing these accusations and the possible discovery of his homosexuality, Darnley is coerced by the underminers to join them in murdering Rizzio, and reluctantly delivers the final blow.

Discovering the plot of weakening her rule and giving Darnley more power, Mary convinces Darnley to side with her and escape with her instead, which turns out to be a ploy for her army to detain him. Mary agrees to pardon the conspirators if presented with evidence that Darnley took part. She ultimately forgives Moray, and asks Elizabeth to be her child's godmother. They agree the child is heir presumptive, despite the English court's hostility. Mary banishes Darnley but refuses to divorce him, despite the appeals of her council, which approaches her adviser and protector, the Earl of Bothwell, to have him killed.

After Darnley's murder, Mary is forced to flee without her child. Bothwell advises that her council has decided she must marry a Scotsman immediately—and that Scotsman should be Bothwell himself. Mary resists, suspecting he was involved in Darnley's murder, but after he threatens her and subsequently rapes her, she consents. This induces Knox to preach to the Scots that Mary is a "harlot" who had her husband killed, leading Moray and her court to demand her abdication. Despite her objections, Mary eventually abdicates and flees to England.

Elizabeth arranges a clandestine meeting, where Mary asks for help to take back her throne. Unable to go to war on behalf of a Catholic, Elizabeth instead promises a safe exile in England as long as Mary does not aid her enemies. Mary responds that if she does, it will only be because Elizabeth forced her to do so, and threatens that should Elizabeth murder her, she should remember that she "murdered her own sister and queen". Placing Mary under house arrest, Elizabeth receives compelling evidence that Mary conspired with her enemies to have her assassinated, and orders Mary's execution. Elizabeth laments that even if the evidence is untrue, she has to order her execution, for she has given her whole self to the throne, but fondly remembers Mary for her bravery and beauty. As Mary walks to the scaffold, a remorseful Elizabeth cries for Mary, who reveals a bright red dress, implying herself to be a martyr. In her final thoughts, Mary wishes her son James well and hopes for peace upon his reign.

A post-script notes that upon Elizabeth's death in 1603, James became the first monarch to rule both Scotland and England.

Scott Wheeler (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a deep cover operative awakens along with another prisoner, Marco (Dolph Lundgren), to find himself imprisoned in a CIA Blacksite on board a retrofitted nuclear submarine. Enlisting the help of a rookie agent and another prisoner, he must race against the clock to escape and discover who set him up.

He goes through his recent memories. Wheeler is a CIA agent looking for a leak in the CIA along with his partner Melissa Ballard (Courtney B Turk) by using a USB drive that needs two components to activate. Melissa carries the drive, while Wheeler carries the activation key. He woke up the next day being shot and while trying to escape, Melissa is killed. Wheeler manages to escape. He goes to meet his handler, but finds his handler killed. Wheeler is captured and drugged by Agent Ferris (Patrick Kilpatrick), who believes Wheeler is responsible for the deaths of his fellow CIA agents. Agent Rhodes (Al Sapienza) believes Wheeler is innocent. They take Wheeler to the submarine for interrogation, where they meet the submarine's crew. The submarine crew is split between those who operate the submarine, led by Captain Darrow (John Posey); the security crew, led by Kingsley (Aleksander Vayshelboym) and CIA agents Cassie Taylor (Jasmine Waltz) and Ellis Ryan (Aaron O'Connell). Wheeler then wakes up.

Wheeler is interrogated by Agent Preston and his helper and believes he was set up. Agent Rhodes interrogates Wheeler about the location of the activation key. Wheeler realises Rhodes is a traitor and Rhodes kills the rest of the CIA crew with his helper and forces the rest of the submarine's security crew to follow his orders. Wheeler manages to escape, but is captured by Cassie and Ellis. They plan on going to the control room to contact someone topside, not knowing the submarine would have to rise to the surface or float the buoy. When they reach the control room, they are ambushed and manage to escape, but Ellis is killed in the gunfire.

Wheeler and Taylor force the crew to make the submarine go topside by increasing the pressure of a pipe. While making their way through the submarine, Taylor is shot, but survives. Taylor learns that Rhodes recruited Wheeler into the CIA and he wants to sell the drive, which contains an algorithm on how to activate sleeper agents. They get help by freeing Marco, who is German Special Forces and is imprisoned in the submarine because he also knows what is going on, and thus can not be killed. Rhodes directs his helper to go to 'Plan B' whilst convincing the submarine crew to stay at their current depth by telling them Wheeler is a traitor. He allied himself with Kingsley and the rest of security. Captain Darrow is still ordered to go topside and meet an extraction team in Cuba.

Wheeler, Taylor and Marco ambush Kingsley and his crew, killing all but Kingsley. Kingsley is left to the mercy of Marco. Wheeler and Taylor track Rhodes. Rhodes panics and takes Captain Darrow captive. Taylor is taken captive by Rhodes' helper. It is revealed that Agent Ballard is in league with Rhodes, having faked her death. Ballard wants to take Wheeler with them to recover the activation key, as she, Rhodes and his helper are set to make millions. Wheeler turns on the phone and speaker in the submarine so that the extraction team are aware of what is going on. A gunfight ensues. Rhodes' helper and the submarine crew kill each other. Ballard shoots Wheeler and escapes instead of killing Taylor, and Wheeler kills Rhodes.

Wheeler and Taylor are vindicated by the CIA. They are told the CIA can not open a case file because the submarine is a black site and can not admit their guilt as that would show their incompetence. The CIA is currently looking for Ballard and direct Wheeler and Taylor to partner up and search for Rhodes' buyer. It is revealed Marco escaped the submarine and left Kingsley alive, naked and tied up with scarves. For helping Marco escape, Marco tracks Ballard and kills her, letting Wheeler know they are now even.

The story starts with a doctor, Kim Joon-young, returning home. His daughter, Eun-jung, dies in a car accident on the same day along with another woman. Kim Joon-young wakes up in what looks like the previous day. He tries to save his daughter but fails, with the day repeating over and over again. The woman's husband also experiences the day repeatedly. They cannot seem to save their loved ones no matter what. Later, they find out that the father of a child whose heart was transplanted without the father's consent and the man who had caused an earlier accident are the two persons whose day is repeating, along with the child father, who is seeking revenge by killing their loved ones. They reconcile to the father after learning that his child's heart is inside of the daughter. Thus, the son does not allow his father to die so they save him so that everything returns to normal. The doctor explains the transplant to the press as the movie ends.

Act 1

Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old boy with ADHD and dyslexia, is on a field trip to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. While there, his substitute pre-algebra teacher, Mrs. Dodds, asks to speak with him. Once alone, Mrs. Dodds transforms into a Fury, a mythological Greek demon of Hades. Thanks to a pen that transforms into a sword named Riptide, thrown to Percy by his Latin teacher, Mr. Brunner, Percy manages to fend off and vaporize Mrs. Dodds. After this incident, Percy is expelled from his school due to him failing to stay with the group, and him already being on probation. When Percy tries to explain what happened, he is shocked to find that neither Mr. Brunner, his best friend Grover Underwood, nor anyone else remembers Mrs. Dodds ("Prologue/The Day I Got Expelled"). Percy says goodbye to them and heads home for summer vacation.

Back at his apartment, his mother, Sally Jackson, seems to understand and even forgive Percy's expulsion, while her husband, Gabe Ugliano, does not. Gabe abuses Percy, and Sally confesses she needs to tell him about his father, who left before Percy was born. Percy, extremely bitter about his father and upset with himself for being expelled yet again, laments on his actions, being increasingly hard upon himself. Sally assures Percy the quirks and abnormalities of someone is what makes them special ("Strong"). Sally takes Percy to the beach where she met Percy's father, and the two run into Grover. Shockingly for Percy, Grover turns out to actually be a satyr, a Greek goat-like protector.

Suddenly, a Minotaur (half-bull, half-man) attacks the trio. Sally sacrifices herself so that Percy and Grover can make it to a place she calls "camp". The Minotaur kills Sally right before Percy's eyes who, in vengeance of his mother, finishes him off. Percy is kicked in the head and falls unconscious, where he dreams of a man in a Hawaiian shirt, who gives him a seashell, claiming, "What belongs to the sea can always return" ("The Minotaur/The Weirdest Dream").

When Percy awakes, he finds himself in a place called Camp Half-Blood. The shell the strange man in his dream gifted him remains in his pocket. The camp director, Mr. D (who is actually Dionysus, god of wine and madness), reluctantly explains to Percy that he is a demigod, the son of a human and a Greek god ("Another Terrible Day"). Mr. Brunner (who is really Chiron, an immortal centaur), is also at the camp and explains to Percy that the gods will send a sign to claim him. However, Percy is still skeptical and angry that his father has shown no sign of care for him all these years. Luke Castellan, a nineteen-year-old son of Hermes, sympathizes with Percy, telling him that many half-bloods never know their godly parents, as they are not claimed ("Their Sign").

Percy settles in and meets several other campers such as Silena Beauregard (a daughter of Aphrodite), Katie Gardner (a daughter of Demeter), Clarisse La Rue (a daughter of Ares who takes an immediate disliking to Percy), and Annabeth Chase (a daughter of Athena who took care of Percy while he was unconscious). Annabeth quickly takes the helm of the leader during a game of capture the flag, instructing Percy to sit and wait in the boys' bathroom to assure he won't "mess things up". Clarisse singles him out and tries to "pulverize" him, but the toilets unexpectedly burst to life, dousing her ("Put You in Your Place"). After things settle down, the campers, bar Clarisse, join around the campfire and vent about their unsteady, and in some cases harmful, relationships with both their godly and mortal parents ("Campfire Song").

Percy is claimed as the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, and it is at once rumored that Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen and Percy is the number one suspect. Percy is told he and two others must go on a quest to retrieve the bolt, to prevent a war between the gods. He is also sent to receive a prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi ("The Oracle"). After the Oracle's prophecy, Percy is upset that he has to leave Camp Half-Blood for a quest that will be unsuccessful, and in turn, externalizes his grievances ("Good Kid"). Percy however, only accepts the quest because Luke hints that his mom will be in the Underworld, the target location of the search since Hades is the rumored real thief. Annabeth and Grover force themselves into the quest, and after a pair of winged shoes is given to them by Luke, the three are pushed into the woods with little care and protection ("Killer Quest!").

Act 2

The three questers have just escaped a bus, attacked by the three Furies. Just after blowing it up, they become hopelessly lost ("Lost!"). In a frantic decision, Percy suggests they should enter Aunty Em's Garden Gnome Emporium. The strange Auntie Em requests to take pictures of the three, but is revealed to actually be Medusa. Percy cuts off her head with his pen/sword, Riptide, and, as a joke, sends the head to the gods over the mail. Annabeth seems particularly upset with this run-in, so while Grover scouts out their surroundings, Percy confronts her about this. She confesses that for her whole life she has been ignored by everyone around her, and is desperate for a chance to prove herself to Athena, her mother, and make the history books ("My Grand Plan").

Grover returns with train tickets to St. Louis and they set off, encountering many dangers such as a Chimera, nasty storms, some dam snacks, and the Lotus Hotel and Casino. They also meet up with Ares, who gives them a lift to Nevada ("Drive"). While on a bus ride to Los Angeles, Percy has a dream of a man speaking with someone whom the man refers to as "my lord". The powerful voice mentions sacrifices and brings up a name, Thalia ("The Weirdest Dream Reprise"). Percy wakes with a jolt and asks Grover if he has ever heard of someone named Thalia. Grover confides that a few years back he was sent to escort Luke, Annabeth and Thalia Grace, Zeus's daughter, to camp. However, the team was attacked, and Grover failed to save Thalia, who ended up sacrificing herself, and being turned into the tree that protects the borders of Camp Half-Blood. He holds himself responsible and thinks Percy will be ashamed of him ("The Tree on the Hill"). Percy assures Grover that no matter who he is or what he does, Percy will always want him as a friend.

The trio arrive in the Underworld, where they are given a tour of the horror by Charon and several long-dead musicians ("DOA"). Percy realizes that the lightning bolt is hidden in his backpack, and the three work out the possibilities of how it could have gotten there. An incident where Percy is nearly dragged into Tartarus by the shoes Luke gave him occurs and the group is discovered. After a brief conversation with an innocent Hades, Percy withdraws the shell from his pocket and blows it, realizing it was from Poseidon, and it opens a portal out of the Underworld. Vowing to return to save his mom, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover escape. Percy hypothesizes that Ares is the one who planted the bolt in his bag and comes to terms with both himself and Poseidon, declaring himself a son of Poseidon, and uses his gift with water and the help of Annabeth and Grover to best Ares ("Son of Poseidon").

The trio return to camp heroes, but Percy couldn't be more troubled. He confides in Luke that he feels just as confused as before, and Luke agrees, stating he felt similar after his own quest. Luke inadvertently tells Percy that he is the true lightning thief and that he has teamed up with Kronos to get back at the gods, who he feels have done him wrong ("The Last Day of Summer"). Luke attacks Percy and escapes. Percy declares that there will be a war no matter how they try to stall it, but he and his friends will be prepared and do whatever it takes to fight it ("Bring on the Monsters").

Suzanne Dutchman (Demi Moore) seems to be a happily married wife. Her husband Mark (Dylan McDermott) is a businessman who continuously travels and is very well known. One day at a dinner party, Mark speaks to a client, Howard (James McCaffrey), about a deal whilst Suzanne speaks with her close friend Deanna (Viva Bianca). As Suzanne and Mark are on their way home it is revealed that the couple aren't so happy after all.

Howard is caught by an undercover female agent for using and dealing cocaine, and reveals many issues involving Mark. Mark is then arrested, and Suzanne faces charges for supporting him in his actions. The judge feels sympathy for Suzanne, mentions that she understands that Suzanne was unaware of her husband's actions, and sentences her to 100 hours of community service only.

Suzanne fulfills her court ordered community service by reading for visually-impaired/blind man Bill Oakland (Alec Baldwin), an author and English lecturer. Suzanne develops feelings for Bill and, when she finds out about her husband's affair, leans towards Bill even more.

Once, while Deva Datta is asleep a heavenly angel Tilottama (Anjali Devi), entices and lifts him together. Chandrakanth (Sadasiva Rao), wants to possess Tilottama aware of it. So, she backs Deva Datta by associating with another Tilottama (again Anjali Devi) daughter of King Suurasena (Sundara Rao). Also accords him a ring with which he can meet her. Tilottama on earth also loves and marries Deva Datta without her parents' knowledge and she conceives. One night when Deva Dattudu thinks of the heavenly Tilottama, he puts the ring on and reaches her. Chandrakanth observes them, in anger curses them to live as hunters on earth and be also oblivious to their past. On one side, Haridas and Vasantha Sena are in search of Deva Datta and on another side, Tilottama on earth feels sorrow that knows no bounds. So, her father prepares the picture of Deva Datta and announces rewards to those who would be able to get him. Ganapathi (M. Kondaiah), the Deva Datta's friend, sees the picture and writes a letter to Vasantha Sena to come to Tilottama's kingdom. As a musician, Vasantha Sena gains admission to the court. Vijaya Simha (A. V. Subba Rao), chief commander of the kingdom is attracted to Vasantha Sena, but she rejects him; in anger, he orders his men to kidnap her. But by mistake, they kidnap princess Tilottama and leave her in the forest, where she gives birth to a baby boy. Unfortunately, Haridas gives her shelter. As hunters, Deva Datta and heavenly Tilottama are getting on happily. Vasantha Sena is suspected of the missing princess Tilottama. She was given a death sentence. The soldiers take her to the forest, where Deva Datta protects her, but due to the curse, he is not able to recognize her, so he pushes her and runs away. Meanwhile, heavenly Tilottama is banned from taking part in religious functions because she is childless. In distress, she consults a sorceress who suggests she offer a child to Goddess Kaali for children. Tilottama prevails on her husband to get a baby.

On a stormy night, Nina lets herself in to a University of Cambridge room, where she is found by Professor Nigel Squires. He is holding a gun, but it is not loaded. Nina's boyfriend Simon is a fan of cryptic crosswords, but she is never able to help him. She has come to the rooms of Squires—a classicist who sets crosswords for ''Varsity'' as ''the Sphinx''—to seek the answers to the next day's crossword. Squires sets about to teach Nina: "I teach wild creature without hospital building" results in ''ARCHITECTURE'', which Simon studies. They turn to the clues for the next day, beginning to fill a large grid. Squires uses the name of the Sphinx because she would asphyxiate and consume those who failed to answer her riddle: she was, he says, "devious and deadly". Squires makes tea, as Nina looks to his trophies. A picture of Squires with his late wife draws her attention, and they discuss the cut-throat world of competitive crosswording. Nina has answered ''DOWNANDOUT'' and ''WRAP''; Squires answers ''DESI'' and helps with ''TRENT''. Squires asks about Simon, but catches Nina in a lie; her excuse is that she only wants to learn. Together, they deduce ''SWAMPLANDS'', meaning "bog". Nina, though, suggests that it should be ''bogs'', otherwise Squires would be cheating. Suddenly spluttering, Squires takes a seat, as Nina begins on the next clue. She now displays clear proficiency, answering ''ASPHYXIATION''.

Squires drops his cup, as Nina continues to fill in the crossword, including ''SOWERBERRY'' and ''KNOWITALL''. Squires is apparently paralysed in his chair, watching. Nina is a marine biologist, and has acquired tetrodotoxin from a pufferfish, which causes paralysis and asphyxiation. Simon was actually Nina's brother, and is visible on the photo of Squires and his wife. Simon had reached a crosswording final only to be beaten by Squires after the latter challenged that a ''u'' looked more like a ''v''. Depressed by the defeat, Simon had killed himself. Squires, to Nina's shock, is unharmed. He leaps up to fill out ''NEUN'' and ''ASPS'', revealing the nina ''ISWAPPEDCUPS'' within the crossword. As Nina induces vomiting, Squires makes a phone call. He had been warned by Dr Jacob Tyler, an old friend and Nina's supervisor. Squires places Nina—for whom paralysis is setting in—on a chair, and goes back to the crossword, filling out ''UNDERSLIP''; asking about the underwear young women wear, he slides his hand up Nina's skirt and kisses her on the mouth.

Nina is left alone until Tyler enters. He tells Charlotte—"Nina"—to hang on, before turning to the crossword. With Squires, he works out ''MYSTERYGUEST''. Tyler reveals that he has no antidote for Charlotte, and will not call the emergency services. Instead, he wants Squires to eat Charlotte, as the Sphinx would. Tyler tells Squires that he cannot call the police, as the crossword displays premeditation: the ''KNOWITALL'' received a ''MYSTERYGUEST'' at number ''NEUN'', resulting in ''ASPHYXIATION''. Tyler reveals ''PUFFERFISH'', predicting, with reference to crossword answers, that a ''DOWN AND OUT'' will find Charlotte wrapped in her ''UNDERSLIP'' in ''SWAMPLANDS'', incriminating Squires. This is, Tyler says, his revenge.

Tyler cuts from Charlotte's buttocks, frying a strip of her flesh on a stove. Squires tells of how he began an affair with Monica, Tyler's wife and mother of his twin children, destroying Tyler's career. Tyler hands Squires the flesh; he eats, fearing Charlotte will die. Tyler reveals that he hates cryptic crosswords, and how his son entered the Cambridge Crossword Competition, attempting to beat his mother's new husband: Squires. Squires realises that Charlotte is Tyler's daughter. Charlotte and Tyler sought revenge on Squires, but Tyler changed plans so Squires would include clues in the crossword. However, Simon's autopsy—Tyler explains—revealed that Simon and Charlotte were actually Squires's children, meaning Monica and Squires's relationship began earlier than he previously thought. Charlotte is past saving, and Tyler places a bullet on Squires's desk, reminding Squires of the principle of Chekhov's gun. Squires confirms that his middle name is ''Hector'' as he weeps over Charlotte, and Tyler circles something on the crossword. Charlotte is dead, and Squires loads the gun, placing it in his mouth. Blood splatters over the crossword and a second nina: ''RIPNHS''.

Peter Moreton, a high-ranking government official, scrambles to keep his secret style hidden from the world when his daughter purposely leaks his affair to a reporter she is dating. Nick Simon is the high-level reporter caught between his love for Holly Moreton, the daughter of Peter Moreton and his desperation to keep his job and land the biggest story of his career.

Gabriel discovers his father has been murdered, and the suspected killer is Monserrat Vallemorín (alias Moncho), a powerful man in the underworld of organized crime, his family's enemy and the supposed godfather of Avril. Gabriel decides to take revenge for his father Ulises Santuario by focusing on Monserrat's two loves: Marbella, his foster daughter and Avril.

Avril is a young medical doctor struggling to find a job, but she refuses Monserrat's help as she suspects his illegal businesses. Monserrat takes an interest in Avril and tries to show her affection in every way possible, arousing the jealousy of Marbella who feels her foster father loves Avril more than her, and she decides to make Avril suffer. Unknown to Marbella, Avril is actually Monserrat's biological daughter from his past relationship with Thania Guzmán. Monserrat took Avril as a baby from Thania and gave her to Antonio Zurli, an Italian immigrant who fled the mafia and whom Monserrat helped to change identity and settle in Venezuela where he hired him as his gardener. Moncho hides Avril's true identity to prevent his enemies and his wife's family from harming her. On the other hand, Thania had another child with Moncho but hid the truth from him fearing he'd take her away. She gave the child, Adriana, to another family.

Under a false name, Gabriel integrates himself into the lives of Marbella and Avril as he plots his revenge, but he never expected to fall madly in love with Avril.

Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Nightwing (Dick Grayson) discover that Poison Ivy (Pamela L. Isley) and the Floronic Man (Jason Woodrue) have teamed up, and that the criminals stole information (from S.T.A.R. Labs) about "Bio-Restorative Project" and Alec Holland who changed into Swamp Thing. Much to their reluctance, they decide to look for Harley Quinn (Dr. Harleen F. Quinzel) (Ivy's best friend and the Joker's usual sidekick) to find out where the duo is hiding; however, Harley has gone off the grid since getting paroled. Batman leaves finding Harley to Nightwing, while Batman figures out what the criminal duo are up to.

At A.R.G.U.S. HQ, Batman asks Sarge Steel about the kidnapping of a scientist named Dr. Harold Goldblum (with a background in chemistry, botany, and biological warfare). Sarge says they don't have any viable leads on who did the kidnapping.

Nightwing finds Harley working as a waitress at Superbabes restaurant where waitresses are dressed as superheroes and supervillains. Tailing her, Nightwing asks where he can find Ivy, Harley says she's done with superheroes & supervillains and wants to live a normal life. Nightwing asks her why she is in skimpy outfits for minimum wage instead of using her psychiatric training. He angers her saying she hasn't reported to her parole officer in months, and that he could drag her to jail. They fight, until she knocks him out.

Sarge shows Batman the home of Goldblum (where Goldblum was kidnapped), and Batman finds evidence that Floronic Man had been there.

Nightwing wakes up and finds he's been tied to a bed. Harley shows him a pile of rejection letters, showing her past as a super-criminal prevents her from getting rehired as a psychiatrist. Eventually, the two sleep together.

Ivy is kissing Goldblum every 6 hours so she can use her mind-controlling pheromones to keep him under control. The criminal duo complain about negative environmental impacts of humans, and Floronic says once their virus is activated every person on the planet "will have a vested interest in going green".

Nightwing and Harley are tickling each other – until Batman walks in on them – with the result being that Harley decides to help. Batman has concluded the criminal duo are using Goldblum to replicate the process (that turned Holland into Swamp Thing), but a virus version that will turn everyone into animal-plant hybrids.

Harley leads them to a popular hangout for henchmen, where she gets the location of Ivy from one of her old minions named Shrubby as Min and Max do a cover of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds' "Don't Pull Your Love". The trio head to Blüdhaven, where Ivy is saddened to see her friend helping Batman. Woodrue fatally wounds Dr. Goldblum to keep him quiet before he and Ivy escape as their lab catches fire. However, the dying Dr. Goldblum reveals that the duo is heading to Wainwright Swamp in Louisiana, where the correct swamp chemicals are.

Contacting A.R.G.U.S., Batman, Nightwing and Harley head after them to convince Ivy to stop her mad plans, realizing that even the slightest miscalculation could result in the extinction of all life on Earth. Harley resorts to crying to convince Ivy, who is finally swayed by their relationship. Swamp Thing appears, informing Woodrue that he would threaten the Green with his concoction. However, he will not interfere. Batman and Nightwing wonder how to stop Woodrue until Harley points out he is a plant and asks if they have a match. Grateful, they both give her a kiss on the cheek and Batman just sets Woodrue on fire.

In a post-credit scene, Harley has gone back to being Harleen Quinzel and she now has a reality television game show, where she makes contestants run an elaborate obstacle course to win a year of therapy from a professional, in a scathing indictment of the American insurance system.

Casey, a young Elvis Presley impersonator barely making a living, finds a path to prosperity by becoming a lip-syncing drag queen. He's young, he's broke, his landlord's knocking at the door, and he's just found out his wife is pregnant. To make matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a run-down, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings in a B-level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself.

Theresa "Tree" Pratt is a wise-beyond-her-years teenager in Ohio, caring for her developmentally disabled older brother, Dab, while their mother is often away working. Dab regularly suffers from a strange illness that leaves him incapacitated. One day, Tree sees a well-dressed man while she is leaving school and is immediately attracted to him. The next time she seems him, he is standing in the middle of a table in a closet in the family's apartment, holding an oval mirror. Tree realizes this is a ghost, Brother Rush. Through Brother Rush's mirror, Tree can see scenes from her family's past — including her mother's abuse of her brother. Once Tree's mother, M'Vy, arrives home, Tree confronts her about both Brother Rush's presence and the family's past, as Dab's illness worsens.

Despite it being midsummer, the seasons in various locations vary wildly. The Hakurei Shrine is showered in cherry petals, Youkai Mountain is basking in the middle of autumn, and the Forest of Magic is blanketed in snow, and thanks to some strange force, Gensokyo's fairies are running rampant with unfathomable strength. In the midst of this undeniable incident, the heroines, Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Aya Shameimaru, and Cirno set out to investigate and find the perpetrator behind it.

After searching through various areas in Gensokyo, your heroine of choice finds The Land of the Backdoor, a mysterious dimension full of misty purple smoke and doors that lead to various places across Gensokyo. Inside, the heroine finds Satono and Mai, whom after being fought, direct the heroine to Okina Matara, the perpetrator of the incident and the god who caused the seasons in Gensokyo to shift. Her true intention was to remind Gensokyo of her strength and to find replacements for her servants, Mai and Satono, and by causing the seasons to shift, she thought she would brought out the strongest in Gensokyo and the people most fit to serve her. Unfortunately for Okina, all of the main heroines are deemed unfit to be her servants (Except for Marisa Kirisame, who declines of her own free will.) This leads to a fight between Okina and the heroine of choice, with the heroine ultimately losing and being forced out of The Land of the Backdoor.

Kit (Chow Yun-fat) works at his uncle, Ching's (Ng Wui) car repair shop. Due to his reckless personality, Kit engages in a motorcycle race against a rascal, Q (Lau Kwok-shing), and wrecks Q's bike, much to the dissatisfaction of the latter. As a result, Q and his acquaintances retaliate by wrecking Ching's repair shop and towing the vehicles away.

To get even with Q, Kit goes to an underground casino owned by triads hoping to use swindling skills which he learned from his godfather, Kan (Chiang Nan), to win a large sum of money. Kan was one of the Double Supreme Conmen of Shanghai, but have gone anonymous after being tired of jinag hu affairs. Kan advises against Kit from going to the casino, but Kit goes anyway wanting to help his uncle. However, Kit's swindling skills backfired and as a result, he owed a large debt.

Q's boss, Kwok Sin (Pai Ying), is a businessman who manages a financial company on the surface, but in actuality, he is a triad member who secretly operates business in prostitution, gambling and drugs. To force Kit to pay his debts, Kwok ordered his underlings to destroy his uncle's repair shop. Seeing his uncle's effort of many years being destroyed, Kit goes to his godfather for help, who promises to help him by asking Kit to search for his old partner, Chu Tung-san (Roy Chiao).

Chu Tong-san has changed to name to Chu Kam-tau. As the Double Supreme Conmen of Shanghai re-met after many years, they both sigh about the past. Chu decides to help Kit by setting up a scam involving a major trading business. The greedy Kwok wants to join in. Chu and Kit uses a counter strategy to scam Kwok by snatching a case of cash from Kwok during the trade. Kwok gives chases but fails to do so. Kwok, who is hunted by his boss, Mr. Mo (Tam Tin-nam), for losing all his money, attempts to rob a bank with his underlings but was captured by the police. Kit, who finally took his revenge, comes to visit Kwok in prison and mocks him in joy.

A bitter and grieving Sophia Howard rents an isolated house in rural Wales to convince short-tempered occultist Joseph Solomon to lead her in a grueling, months-long rite dictated from The Book of Abramelin to summon her guardian angel, whom Sophia can then ask to speak with her dead seven-year-old son. Solomon explains that once they begin, if they leave the house before the ritual is finished, they will be in grave peril, and that Sophia must spend months of punishing exercises in which they will deal with real demons and angels. She agrees. She then complies with dozens of painful, harrowing exercises, but refuses to do the forgiveness ceremony. To compensate for her refusal, Solomon insists she must drink his blood, and also says they must have sex as part of the ritual. After manipulating her into taking off her clothes, he masturbates, then tells her it was just for his own release, not for ritualistic purposes. Sophia gets revenge by urinating in his breakfast the next day.

They grudgingly get to know one another over time. However, after months, a frustrated Sophia complains that it’s taking too long, and Solomon accuses her of impairing the ritual by not being honest about something. She admits that the real favor she will ask the angel is revenge upon whoever kidnapped and killed her son. That night he awakens her and says that because her dishonesty has made her impure, a re-birthing ritual in the tub is required. However, he drowns her, recites a spell, and revives her with CPR. Angered, she pushes him and he accidentally falls on a large kitchen knife, impaling him in the side. As she treats the wound with their meager medical supplies, he explains that this is a sign that the ritual is beginning to work, and that she will have her revenge. He discloses that he will ask the angel to make him invisible for the rest of his life, to be away from people as he “want[s] some quiet before the hell.”

As Solomon soldiers on with the wound, Sophia begins seeing and hearing menacing presences in the house, including the voice of her son. When Solomon's wound becomes infected, he begins to fail and eventually dies in his sleep. When Sophia goes back to his books for further instruction, everything has been crossed out, unreadable. She steps beyond the perimeter of the house but her car won't start. After walking down an empty road, she is disturbed to realize that she has arrived back at the mansion.

She re-enters to discover various demons appearing. They drag her to the basement, torment her, and cut off a finger as she tells them how sorry she is. They retreat as a brilliant white light fills the house. She finds a massive, beatific angel in armor awaiting her. She asks it for the power to forgive, and it smiles. Later, she performs a water burial of Solomon, then drives away.

The story line of ''Hob'' is expressed through environmental storytelling, with more and more clues being revealed as the game goes on. Since there is no dialogue or written language, these clues are given through the environments, enemies, and other creatures that the player interacts with.

The story of the world can be worked out from the 5 'lore rooms' present in the game, as well as the game's own prequel comic on the Runic Games website. The lore rooms in sequence show, in symbolic animated glyph forms:

1. A sun dying around a planet and a spaceship holding 4 elders and 20 disciples.

2. The spaceship departs that solar system before the sun dies and lands on a new world with an active sun.

3. Using the sun's power, the spaceship builds the raised platforms and the high tower present in the game.

4. Then, a new spaceship shows up and transmits a virus or infection to one of the elders in the high tower, who then spreads it to the rest of the platform structures (the infection is represented by the 'spikes' shown in the symbols). This is accompanied by a sound, 'woahlah', which the queen at the end of the game also makes. The appearance of the spikes is accompanied by chittering, creeping sounds.

5. Lastly, as a result of the infection spreading, the robots awaken. This lore-room contains one of the four elders, dead, suggesting that it was them that made the glyphs.

The prequel comic then shows a robot awakening, to be transported to the surface of one of the platforms, where it sees many robots fighting the infection and being killed. It pops a blade out of its wrist, but is then stabbed by one of the infection plants. It retreats from combat and one of the 'sprites' in the game then heals it, causing greenery to grow from its wound. It then seeks out and opens one of the disciple chambers, releasing a character of the same species as the main character. This particular disciple has a pair of horn-like stubs on the top of its head. Unfortunately it is attacked and infected by a plant, develops blight-like growths on one side of its face, and is encased in a rainbow crystalline formation before it can do anything more. As the crystalline structure starts to break apart, the robot leaves and opens more disciple chambers. Many chambers are opened and it is assumed they have all failed to stop the infection. The last chamber it opens is the main character's, Hob.

Throughout the course of the actual game, Hob will find many deceased disciples, who they obtain sword components from. They will also come across some of the rainbow crystal formations, which are always accompanied by a butterfly, suggesting that the crystals are chrysalises from which the butterflies have emerged. And they will be helped at points by the infected disciple shown in the prequel, who has become half-infection, half-disciple, with fungi-like horns emerging from where their head stubs were, a ragged coat and only one half of their face still unaffected by the infection.

At the end of the game, Hob finds enough power cores to awaken one of the larger robots, which creates a bridge to reach the High Tower. Hob climbs the high tower, where they find the remaining three elders and the infected disciple. Two of the three elders are alive and uninfected, but incapacitated by the infection's plants, while the third is infected and enclosed by it. Hob stumbles upon a spore pod when realizing the elders are alive, and starts becoming infected. The infected 'queen' awakens, and uses her power to draw the infection from Hob. She gestures to herself and makes the sound 'woahlah', indicating a name. She then explains through gestures that the infection is not her, that it came from above and into her, and through her, to the planet. But she shows the beauty that it is capable of creating by showing the butterflies which the chrysalises have developed. She then offers Hob the choice of either joining her and the infection in co-existing on the planet, or siding with the other elders and destroying the infection.

If Hob chooses the Queen, the world becomes covered with the rainbow crystalline structures, suggesting that more of it is being converted into symbiosis. The robot is shown post-credits opening yet another disciple chamber to try and stop the infection.

If Hob chooses the Elders, it fights the infected disciple. When Hob kills the disciple the Queen accepts her fate and offers herself to be destroyed. Hob then takes her place on the throne as an elder. This destroys the infection across the planet, and the world is shown clean, with the disciples emerging from their chambers and being reunited. Post-credits the robot is shown finally going to sleep, accompanied by the sprites.

The play opens with the voice of Jane Doe singing, leading to the introduction of the musical's narrator (Karnak's Dream of Life). Our host for the evening is Karnak, a mechanical fortune teller automaton (Welcome). Karnak reveals that he will die soon, as a rat is chewing his power cable. The insensate Karnak was formerly able to predict the exact moment of a person's death, but the carnival set him to "Family Fun Mode," meaning that he could only repeat fairground advertising: "Your lucky number is seven. Ride the Cyclone." He tells the audience that a small town choir has ridden the fair's roller coaster, the Cyclone, to their deaths (The Uranium Suite). Five teens arrive in limbo, and Karnak informs them of their impending demise. Each of the five teens are introduced in a manner reminiscent of video game character introductions. Karnak then announces the teens are in a literal game of life and death, where they all must compete for the chance to be returned to the world of the living. With the others realizing where they are, we are then introduced to the sixth victim, the "mystery contestant" dubbed Jane Doe by the coroner, since no family came to claim her body when it was found (Jane Doe's Entrance). Jane's entrance frightens the other choir members, but following her entrance, Karnak announces the competition will begin.

The first contestant is Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg, a perfectionist over-achiever who calls herself the "white sheep" of her family. She insults the other teens for their dead-end lives, and compares herself to each of them. She sings that she deserves to return to life as she's the only one with the potential for success. (What the World Needs). However, Karnak then decrees that the choice of who lives will be made by group consensus.

The next contestant is Noel Gruber, the only gay boy in his small town who dreams of being a cold hearted French prostitute (Noel's Lament), but is instead stuck working at a Taco Bell. He sings about his desire to die a tragic death. After his song, Ocean is annoyed that his story did not have an overarching theme (Every Story's Got A Lesson).

The third contestant is Mischa Bachinski, a Ukrainian adoptee who was adopted after his mother, dying from radiation poisoning from the Chernobyl disaster, put him up for adoption but lied about his age. When he reached Canada, his adoptive parents were expecting a sweet 2-year-old but instead received a violent teenage boy. He alternates between gangsta rap and a Ukrainian love ballad to his online girlfriend (This Song Is Awesome/Talia).

The fourth contestant is Ricky Potts, who was born with a degenerative disease that left him mute, but developed a rich fantasy life to retreat into, including a scenario in which he saves a galaxy of sentient cats who regard him as a deity (Space Age Bachelor Man).

While the teens sing about their hopes, dreams and fantasies, Jane Doe sings about despair (The Ballad of Jane Doe). Jane's headless body was found in the wreckage, and she was assumed to be a member of the choir. She was decapitated in the accident and her body was unclaimed. Her spirit has no memory of who she was and no idea what will happen to her in the afterlife. After hearing Jane's tale, the choir rallies together and sings the new birthday song to her, sharing a tender moment with each other (The New Birthday Song).

Finally, Constance sings of her love for her life and her town, and how all her anger and misconceptions had dropped away when the roller coaster derailed (Sugar Cloud).

At last, it is time for the vote, but Karnak changes the rules. He tells Ocean that she alone will get the deciding vote. Having a crisis of conscience, she refuses to vote for herself. She calls for a vote, saying that Jane is the only one who doesn't have memories to take to the afterlife with her, and the others decide to send her back. Jane goes through the portal and regains her memories and life as Penny Lamb (a character in Richmond's play LEGOLAND). We see a quick home movie of her remaining life from youth to old age. Karnak shorts out, repeating "Ride the Cyclone" before the remaining teens sing a peppy song (It's Not A Game/It's Just a Ride) as their spirits travel to whatever comes next.

Richard Thorncroft is a former television actor, known for playing Detective Bruce Mindhorn, a detective with a cybernetic eye (described as an optical lie detector), which enables him to see truth, from the 80s TV show ''Mindhorn.'' 25 years later, on the Isle of Man, where it was filmed, police hunt an escaped lunatic, Paul Melly who's wanted for murder.

Dejected, Richard parties with his former manager Moncrieff, is detained after a night of drunkenness and cocaine-snorting, and dropped by his agent.

Waiting for his ferry home, Richard opens fan mail, and realises that it's from Melly, including a videotape showing the mayor committing the murder. Richard shows the tape to Moncrieff, who proposes using it to blackmail him. He refuses to give the tape back, but appears to concede after a brief altercation. Richard meets Melly and the police, but discovers Moncrieff has swapped the tape. Moncrieff independently tries to blackmail the mayor but is killed by DS Baines, the mayor's niece and part of the conspiracy.

Melly and Richard escape to Melly's secret lair, filled with ''Mindhorn'' merchandise and homemade espionage equipment. Melly equips him with an extensive ''Mindhorn'' outfit, explaining he has a copy of the tape in the classic car used in ''Mindhorn''. They escape Baines when Melly throws defective ''Mindhorn''-brand truth powder in her face.

At Patricia and Clive's, Richard finds the car is in the local parade. Patricia finds letters to her from Richard that Clive hid from her. Richard, Melly and Patricia go to get the car from the parade, and are pursued by DS Baines to the beach. Richard finds the "copy" of the tape is just a plasticine model Melly made. Melly is hit by a bullet and appears to die. Baines arrives, and appears to kill Patricia and injure Richard. Richard records Baines' confession on a ''Mindhorn'' recorder belt that Melly had him wear.

The police arrive and Richard and Pat get up, having tricked Baines into using a gun with blanks. They prove Baines' and the mayor's roles in the murders with the tape. Richard then rescues Jasmine from Baines as she fires at him, with a gun he believes is also full of blanks. When told that he actually just narrowly dodged several real bullets, Richard faints. After recovering, Richard and Patricia get back together, Baines and the mayor are jailed, and Melly is found alive in his lair.

The most unexpected Dollanganger story of them all, new from the author of Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind—both now major Lifetime movie events.

A young boy suffers amnesia from a trauma he suffered in what feels like must have been another life. He’s adopted into a wealthy family—but what will happen when he learns the truth about his past?

L.A. "Pee Wee" Williams (Burgess Meredith), a young rural enlistee in the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) is initially assigned to heavy bombers but is disappointed with his job as an air mechanic. Noticing that he has the ideal characteristics of small stature and determination, pilot Lt. Ames (Ronald Reagan) asks if he is interested in being an air gunner. Pee Wee describes his experience in shooting black crows back home in Kansas.

Following up, Ames sends Pee Wee to a skeet range, where he scores a perfect six out of six hits. The next step is to send the young recruit to an Army Air Forces Gunnery School. He joins hundreds of other students, including Benny (Dane Clark), a recruit whose sole experience with guns is in winning Kewpie dolls at an arcade. At the gunnery school, Pee Wee begins a five-week course and 200 hours of technical instruction and practical training. Soon the trainees move from classroom to skeet ranges, BB guns and gun truck platforms with machine guns mounted on the beds of pickup trucks, firing at clay targets. The last training sessions had trainees firing from the gunner's stations in North American T-6 Texan training aircraft.

Throughout the training, his great marksmanship skills make Pee Wee stand out. When he graduates, his first assignment is as a tail gunner in a four-engine Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber. Reuniting with Lt. Ames, Pee Wee and the crew are sent to the South Pacific. On his first mission, he shoots down a Japanese Zero. Later on a July 15, 1942 bombing mission, his bomber is able to successfully attack an enemy aircraft carrier but is intercepted on the return flight by five enemy fighters. With two engines out, Lt. Ames relies on his gunners to keep the enemy at bay, shooting down four of the attackers. When Ames is forced to land his damaged bomber, the lone Japanese fighter strafes the crew huddling on the ground until Pee Wee climbs back into the bomber and shoots down the fighter. For his heroism, the rear gunner is awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.

After Optimus Prime annexed Earth into Cybertron's Council of Worlds, and following a tough encounter with a few Dire Wraiths, G.I. Joe's founder Joe Colton has decided to destroy all Transformers, as he believes they pose a threat to humanity. So he secretly resurfaces as "Baron Ironblood" and recruits criminals for his cause, including Doctor X, Storm Shadow, Destro, Miles Mayhem, Shazraella and Garrison Kreiger.

A year after the Ore-13 explosions, a unified Earth stands ready to join the interplanetary coalition as equals to the Transformers. With Marissa Faireborn appointed the official Council delegate and de facto ambassador of Earth, human diplomats and dignitaries assemble in Iacon for the occasion. But as Starscream makes his opening remarks, the ceremony is thrown into chaos as Colton's forces deploy sophisticated anti-Transformer weaponry against them. On Earth, G.I. Joe leader Scarlett races to discover Colton's motivations behind his evil deeds; hoping to save her former mentor from himself, she forges an alliance with Matt Trakker and Soundwave to find a way to Cybertron.

With Iacon in chaos, Colton and his team deploy Dr. Mindbender as a decoy Ironblood while the real Colton leads a team underground, using Shazraella to ferry the Talisman underground to its ultimate destination: by enerchanging the Talisman with the core of Cybertron, Colton believes, its corrosive energies will poison the planet's energon from within and doom the species to extinction.

As the villains move on their objective, Garrison Kreiger deploys the bounty hunter Colditz to trick Centurion (his mind now fused with that of Mike "Atomic Man" Power and his body saturated with Talisman energy) into travelling into the wilds beyond Cybertron, luring the team of humans and Autobots to follow him in the hopes of killing him and tying up a loose end. Centurion survives, but deprived of his connection to the Talisman the heroes have lost their best chance at halting the invasion.

On Earth, Scarlett and a small team storm Castle Destro and hijack Destro's M.A.S.S. Device to reach the metal planet. On arriving, they unmask the imposter Ironblood but are immediately caught up in the volatile politics of the Council and summarily detained by Starscream. But as Ironhide's forces struggle to pin down Colton's strike team beneath Metroplex, Optimus Prime goes against the law by springing Scarlett and her team from jail as the villains close in on their objective, turning the journey towards the core into a race against time.

The chase culminates in a battle far beneath the planet's surface; having beaten the villains to their objective, their battle begins, but is soon thrown into chaos when the forces of the Council arrive to place both sides under arrest, turning the situation into a free-for-all. The conflict is cut short when Kreiger finally reveals his true identity as Merklynn, an ancient sorcerer from the planet Prysmos; his plan had always been to use the Talisman to transform Cybertron into a copy of his old homeworld, but unable to reach the core, he settles on using the Talisman's power transforming only a fragment of the planet into the arcane city of "New Prysmos," the first step on Merklynn's crusade to wipe out technology and usher in a new age of magic in the galaxy. Colton, defeated and broken by this betrayal, voluntarily stands down. Meanwhile, Cybertron has survived, but has lost much of its energon in Merklynn's attack, forcing it to rely even more heavily on Earth and the colony worlds.

In the aftermath, Cybertron itself burns through even more of its dwindling energon reserves to transmit a simple message deep into space: a message that awakens Unicron.

A generation after a time period known in the Darkover universe as ''The Age of Chaos'' a character by the name Gwynn has lost his family in the conflict. His life's ambition has become plotting revenge against those who caused his family's loss. He seeks to marry a woman with the genetic power to control the storms, in hopes that his offspring will use it to against Aldaran.

Kyria, his selected bride is attracted to Gwynn because of his financial status and other reasons. During her journey through the mountains to Scathfell, where she will formally wed, she and her sister come across Edric, a young heir to Aldaran. Edric also possesses the power to control thunderstorms, a power he has been warned to be cautious of because of the mass danger it poses to all.

Their companionship brings them closer and creates an opportunity for their arch-rival kingdoms to unite.

The novel is split into three sections: 1) The Ancient Battle, 2) The Great Lady and 3) The Royal Prayer.

1. The Ancient Battle

This section centers on Kadare's telling of the Battle of Kosovo, and the Balkan defeat. Serbian Prince Lazar leads the Balkan army, a group of alliances and scattered nationalities brought together by the King's strategical diplomacy. The united Balkan army faces the Ottoman Empire, intent on invading and conquering Kosovo. The night before the battle, the many Balkan princes gather together to hear their respective minstrels sing traditional epic poetry that details the history of each nation. The princes laugh at the minstrels, who sing about past wars against each other. Serbian minstrels, for instance, sing "“Serbs, to arms! The Albanians are taking Kosovo from us!” while the Albanian minstrels sing “A black fog has descended – Albanians, to arms, Kosovo is falling to the damned Serb.”

The next day, the Balkan army is defeated by the Ottoman Turks, although the Ottoman Sultan Murad I is killed in the battle. Prince Lazar is captured by the Ottomans.

2. The Great Lady

This section portrays the aftermath of the Balkan defeat, through the perspective of two minstrels, one Albanian (Gjorg) and one Serbian (Vladan), forced to leave the battlefield together with the rest of the minstrels who had been at the battle. Despite the past conflict between Albania and Serbia, the two must unite and come to terms with the breakdown of the Balkan states. Both seem to be aware that failure to unite in the face of a common enemy was the cause of the Balkans' defeat.

The lost battle weighs heavily on both minstrels, Vladan even throwing away his ''gusla'' in despair. In their journey, the minstrels pick up a group of Hungarian fugitives, on the run from the battle. The fugitives ask the minstrels what it was like to sing for the many princes before the battle, and the minstrels respond that their divisive songs garnered laughs. As Hungarians, the fugitives do not understand the immense conflict between Albania and Serbia, and the reasons for this laughter. In a gesture of unity, Gjorg allows Vladan to play his ''lahuta'', the Albanian version of a ''gusla,'' having lost his own instrument.

One fugitive with the group turns out to be a Turk, who only wishes to convert to Christianity, without fully renouncing his Islamic faith. For attempting to have two faiths, the man is burned at the stake.

One day, Gjorg, Vladan, and Manolo are invited to a castle whose lord wishes to hear them sing. Upon hearing their songs, still calling for war against each other, the lord denounces them. But one old lady begs that the guests do not insult the minstrels and instead asks that they tell the room a story, which she enjoys very much. The next morning, she is found dead and the minstrels are asked to sing at her funeral.

3. The Royal Prayer

The final section is told from the point of view of Sultan Murad I, as he lies dead in his grave on the Field of the Blackbirds where the Battle of Kosovo took place. He curses the Balkans for forcing him to rest on their land, rather than the land he calls home. As the centuries pass, the Sultan notes that rather than attempting to unite and "build something together" the Albanians and Serbians continue to wage wars over Kosovo.

In 1942, the stories of a new group of U.S. Army Air Forces pilots are intertwined. As they receive their wings from Lt. General H.H. Arnold, each of the trainees, Cadet Frank Bickley (Tod Andrews), Cadet Dick Mathews (Don DeFore) and Cadet Jim Morgan (Ray Montgomery) recall their prewar introduction to flight training.

This novel begins in 1938, Vienna, Austria, right after the Germans have invaded and taken over. Because Adolfina and her sisters are Jewish, they are afraid that they will share the fate of the Jews in Germany. Sigmund Freud, their brother, tells them not to worry, because everything will settle down. However, Sigmund packs up his household and leaves for Switzerland without them. Adolfina begs him to grant them exit visas as well, but he refuses. Adolfina and her sisters are taken to a concentration camp where they are put into a death chamber. She smells the gas and experiences a flashback to her childhood.

She was a sickly child and therefore spent a lot of time with her mother. Her mother sometimes acted like she loved her, but other times Adolfina would hear her mother saying, “It would have been better if I had not given birth to you.” She loved her brother Sigmund, and he would tell her stories in bed when they were alone. Her mother loved Sigmund more than all the other children because when she was pregnant with him an old woman told her that he would be a great man.

When they were alone, they would lie under the covers and Sigmund would tell her stories about the outside world because she was not strong enough to go outside often. One day after she had fallen asleep during story time she woke up with Sigmund gone. She went to find him in his room and discovered him masturbating. This scared her so that their relationship was never the same and they started to avoid each other. However, they maintained a relationship through the books he lent her.

Because Adolfina did not go to school Sigmund set up drawing lessons for her that were being offered by one of his professors. His professor's son, Rainer was always sad and his parents thought that him playing with other children would help. Adolfina and Rainer became very close friends, but eventually Rainer moved away and their friendship was broken off.

After Rainer moved away Adolfina started taking drawing classes with another friend, Sarah. Sarah was also weak like her, because she had anemia. They both applied to the School of Applied Arts, but they did not get it. After Adolfina's mother found out that she was rejected from art school, she pressured Adolfina stop painting because she did not believe that it was a useful skill.

Sarah and Adolfina would sometimes go to parties that Sarah's sister, Bertha, would host for other university students. At one of these parties they met Klara, the sister of Gustav Klimt; a woman who was very involved in women's rights movements. She was arrested and beaten multiple time until this became mentally too much and she was admitted to a mental hospital.

At one of these gatherings Sigmund met Sarah and they began seeing each other, but then Sigmund met a girl named Martha and married her instead. After Sigmund married he moved out of the house, but Adolfina would visit him at the hospital where he worked. During one of these visits she saw a man there who had the previous day tried to commit suicide by jumping into the Danube river. It was Rainer.

Rainer and Adolfina started to see each other, and she helped him find his birth mother. When they meet his mother, she is nothing like he expected. He is so shaken up by this visit that he leaves town and Adolfina. However, he returns and they start a relationship. But, Rainer gets tired of her and starts seeing someone else. Adolfina continues to go to his house until he kicks her out and moves away again.

He then returned after many years. He told Adolfina that he was afraid that she would abandon him as his mother abandoned him. Adolfina swore that she would never leave him. Rainer wanted to see his mother one last time. She took him to see his mother, but she had just recently died. He was so overcome with the meaningless of life that he jumps into the Danube and kills himself.

Adolfina discovered that she is pregnant. Her brother arranged an abortion in their house. After the abortion, she was so distraught at losing her one chance at motherhood and what she believes is her purpose in life that she moved into the mental hospital with Klara. She stayed with Klara in this hospital for a while until Klara leaves. She then moved back in with her mother until her mother became very sickly. Adolfina called Sigmund to ask him to return to Vienna to say goodbye to his mother. However, he refused to come back early because he would be there in a couple of months for his summer vacation. His mother died without him saying goodbye.

After Adolfina's mother died, she entered a period with no real guidance in her life. Two more of her family members died, her sister's daughter and Sigmund's grandson. She went on vacation with Sigmund and his daughter, Anna. However, it was not as she expected, and she and Sigmund get in an argument about what happens after death. She accused him of believing that he will be immortalized through his works.

This is the end of the flashback. The narrative goes back into the gas chamber with Adolfina at the end of her life. Adolfina is remembering her life and thinking about how she will forget everything, for “that will be my death – that forgetting – I will forget.”

After going to a late summer fireworks festival together in the mountains, the girls Yui and Haru got lost on the way back home. When they let go of each other's hands, they got separated. Mustering up their courage, the two girls explore an ominous night town which is completely different during daytime and where someone is lurking in the shadows. As the story advances, the player will switch between the perspectives of Yui and Haru. The actions, decisions and information you get from playing as one will impact the story of the other.

Gaetano falls in love with Sabina, a barely seventeen-year-old girl after they meet each other by chance during a procession. His mother is against their marriage, because Sabina is a poor, uncultured orphan who has worked in a tavern run by an aunt. Gaetano becomes hardheaded and does everything he can to persuade his mother to accept Sabina. He is very jealous and is worried about the fact that Sabina can make bad experiences at the inn, frequented by farmers and drunkards. To prepare for the marriage, he forces Sabina to move to another aunt's house in Atripalda, a nearby town, to learn to read and write and to behave in a more dignified way because he doesn't want her to have relationships with other people of lower class. *Second part The marriage is celebrated. On the wedding night, in a hotel in Naples, Gaetano becomes aware of the fact that Sabina is not a virgin. At first she denies this but she is later forced to reveal that she has had a sexual relationship with Vincenzo Carbone, an officer in Turin. Initially, he raped her in a stable, but later she convinced herself to see him in her house, because Elena, Carbone's sister, promised her a marriage with her brother.

On hearing this, Gaetano decides to go back to Montrone. The following night, he kills Sabina by slitting her throat with a razor blade. He then goes to Elena, who runs a shop and kills her with a revolver. He then hands himself over to the police.

*Third part

Gaetano's mother decides to entrust the defence to the well-known Neapolitan lawyer Gioacchino Russo, who was contacted with difficulty by the lawyer, Colantuoni and by the priest, Alfonso, Gaetano's uncle. Gioacchino Russo meets Gaetano's mother and here learns from don Alfonso the fact that the fascists want to help Gaetano, to whom they offered the role of major: Russo, a dedicated liberal, refuses to sign any alliance but says he will accept every kind of help that can come from them. Then he starts to prepare the trial using the list of witnesses to know if they have lovers, if they have been betrayed, and so on. He also seeks the help of the press: some young people that come from Avellino, want to find a newspaper, and Russo recommends to them to point, for a financing to Gaetano's mother. Russo goes to visit Gaetano, who is in jail and is waiting with composure for the trail: the considerations of the last days, he says, have changed him deeply. In front of the reaction of Gaetano, Russo loses control and forces him to vow to have firmly made justice, since he is sure that, by doing so, Gaetano will get away with murder. So Russo goes home, promising to Gaetano that he will soon be major and feeling more sound and satisfied.

The novel opens with the description of one of the nightmares, which crowd the nights of Stefano Illuminati, the main character. The nightmares had begun from an episode of 1943. Stefano, who was 13 years old and lived in the Langhe, occupied by the Nazis, had killed as a joke a German man with a revolver stolen to his father, that was a fascist colonel. Then he had hidden the body, not saying anything to anybody, not even to his trusted friend Francesco, with whom he had talked about a similar project.

Twenty years later, Stefano lives in Rome; he hasn't returned to his family in Piedmont for many years. Coming from a difficult year, disappointed, he decides to go on a journey to the Langhe, to make order in his life. He is followed by Laura, named as Lu, who was his mistress. Lu and Stefano had been closely to have a child, but they had renounced and their relationship had become a simple friendship, even if Lu is haunted by the thought of her missed motherhood.

During the slow voyage, with stages Pisa, Bolsena, Piacenza and Campione d'Italia before arriving in Piedmont, Stefano recurs his life. Stefano's grandfather was a great one for parties, woman and food; antifascist, he is dead just after the Italy's join in the Second World War. In a big house in the Piedmontese countryside Stefano spent the summer playing with his best friend Francesco, son of a farmer. Doro, who takes care about fields and barns, has communist sympathies; he will die thrown in a well, desperate for the death of a pig, who was his economical hope during the period of the nazi's occupation.

Stefano's father, Giacomo Illuminati, husband of a grandfather's daughter, is an austere soldier, army's colonel, that tries to instill in Stefano the discipline, obliging him to answer "comandi" to every calling. Convinced supporter of the fascist regime, the colonel performs service in Piacenza, where Stefano and his mother spent the winter and where Stefano has to participate as a ''balilla'' to the youth rallies.

The colonel renounces to participate to military expeditions to stay close to his family and this causes him great moan. His beliefs fall after the 1943 armistice: forced to escape from Piacenza to break out from Germans, he arrives in the Langhe, where Stefano and his mother had been living since a long time: he is unrecognizable, turned into his own shadow, with a long beard and a wasted uniform, that was unthinkable.

The killing's episode of a German happen during the following months. At the beginning of 1944 Stefano, dizzy by the facts, wants to do something, and, 14 years old, he decides to escape. In Milan he managed to make himself look older and in a barrack of the fascist ''Guardia Repubblicana'' give him a warrant and send him to La Spezia, where he's recruited in the Decima Mas. In the following months the oldest fellow soldiers wait the occasion to do something in vain. Stefano escapes and returns home when two marines older than him unsuccessfully try to introduce him in a brothel.

In Piedmont, there is the rapprochement with Francesco, and also his join to the partisan fight. Stefano is in Turin on the Liberation day (25 April). In the following years Stefano is involved in left wing movements, then he moved to Rome, where he starts to work in an office. The colonel remains alone in the Langhe house, with the company of the faithful housewife Caterina, always plunged in empty studies, without seeing Stefano for many years.

When Stefano and Lu arrive at colonel's house, the relationship between father and son is difficult and superficial , but the strictness of the colonel is only a mask. When he talks with Lu, the colonel asks constantly of Stefano, he wants to know about his life and his success. Stefano, before leaving, meets again Francesco, distrusted from the youth enthusiasms, convinced not to have succeeded to realise what he fought for. The voyage seems to have restored him because he concludes that memories won't be abandoned and that we will be condemned only if the readers could refuse to express the secret goodness that wait us every morning.

In M-Prefecture's fictional town of Morioh, which has been plagued by a series of mysterious murders, Josuke Higashikata is a second-year high school student who befriends new student Koichi Hirose while displaying strange powers in fixing Koichi's bicycle. Josuke later foils a convenience store robbery by a delinquent acting under the influence of a water-like creature. Josuke then encounters Jotaro Kujo, introducing himself as the youth's nephew while explaining that Josuke is the illegitimate son of his grandfather, Joseph Joestar. Despite a brief fight from a misunderstanding, explaining their Stand psychic embodiments while displaying the time manipulative ability of his Stand, Star Platinum, Jotaro warns Josuke that the murders are being caused by another Stand user. Josuke realizes the creature he saw the other day was a Stand, unaware that its user is a serial killer named Anjuro "Angelo" Katagiri who intends to kill the student for his interference. The next day, Angelo has his Stand, Aqua Necklace, sneak into the Higashikata residence and, despite failing to kill Josuke's mother Tomoko, murders his grandfather Ryohei as Jotaro arrives to the youth's aid. The two are overwhelmed by Aqua Necklace until Josuke tricks it into entering a rubber glove he secretly swallowed. Upon finding Angelo, Josuke uses his Stand, Crazy Diamond, to fuse him into a rock while the serial killer reveals that he acquired his power from a mysterious arrow-wielding high school student.

During Ryohei's funeral, Josuke and Koichi follow a youth named Keicho Nijimura, Angelo's benefactor, to a derelict house where they are jumped by both him and his younger brother Okuyasu. As Okuyasu and his Stand The Hand hold off Josuke, Keicho drags Koichi into the house after shooting an arrow through his neck. Josuke chases them after defeating Okuyasu who took a hit from Keicho's Stand Bad Company. Josuke's act of healing Okuyasu is rewarded when the latter helps him rescue Koichi while not intending to stand in their way of searching for the bow and arrow. Keicho goes on the offense in forcing Koichi to manifest his Stand, disappointed that it is a large egg, before being defeated with Josuke and Koichi finding an immortal abomination soon after. Keicho reveals this creature to be his father whose condition is the result of being a follower of Dio Brando, explaining that he has been creating Stand Users in the hopes that one of them might be able to end his father's suffering. Josuke, deducing that Mr. Nijimura has not completely lost his sense of self after using Crazy Diamond to repair a valued family photograph, offers to help the Nijimura brothers restore their father's humanity despite Keicho being hesitant to hand the bow and arrow to him. However, as a Stand suddenly attacks, Keicho sacrifices himself to protect Okuyasu. Josuke later meets again with Jotaro, swearing to continue his grandfather's work of protecting Morioh as Koichi and Okuyasu proceed to support him.

In a mid-credits scene, a house is shown with a paper bag on a table, containing a severed hand and an arrow in its clutch. This references the overarching antagonist of the manga series, Yoshikage Kira.

Greg Heffley and his family see an advertisement for Isla de Corales, a resort where his parents went for their honeymoon, on TV. To Greg's dismay, they skip Christmas to go to the resort instead. After multiple mishaps at the airport, such as their flight being delayed, the Heffleys board the plane. Greg is disappointed that he has to sit in the coach class seats, and is more annoyed when he is seated between a different family with a baby.

After they land at the resort, Greg and his family find out that the resort has changed since his parents' honeymoon, and most of the activities they did are now on the adult-only section. In their hotel room, they notice that they claimed the wrong suitcase and theirs was sent back home. After a visit to a crowded pool, Greg getting scared by an iguana, and a meal being ruined by birds and slugs, the Heffleys go to sleep for the night. In the morning, Greg has an encounter with a tarantula that climbed into his slippers, and he loses track of where it went. He and his family go out to ride a banana boat because Greg's mom wants to get a Christmas card photo, but the boat gets punctured.

The next day, Greg's mother goes to visit the spa, and Greg is left to take care of his little brother, Manny. He lets Manny play at a water park, but ends up falling in water that he believes to be contaminated with urine. After this, Greg's mother books a snorkeling trip for the family, but Greg worries about getting stung by a box jellyfish. He takes a gulp of water by accident and believes that he has swallowed a sea horse, ending the snorkeling trip early.

The Heffleys return to the pool, and Manny's box jellyfish, contained in a bucket, gets into the pool. During the commotion, Greg and his family sneak back to their room. The next day, Greg visits a tennis court, out of fear that the tarantula will reappear. The other kids recognize Greg as one of the people involved with the box jellyfish incident, so he is chased out of the court and runs back to his family in the hotel room.

Manny knocks over the suitcase, and his family tries on the clothes inside. They go out to eat in a clubhouse and play golf, but are caught by security for having stolen another family's clothes and are ordered to leave the resort. The Heffleys stay at the airport hotel, and the next day, Greg's parents choose to end things on a high note and sneak back in for a family picture. After taking the picture, the family split up and run off, with Greg ending up in a private beach on the adult side of the resort. He runs away and notices his family on the other side through a hole in the wall. The wall falls down, and a lot of people rush in, letting the Heffleys escape the resort.

After he gets home, Greg visits the Isla de Corales website and finds that he and his family have been banned from the resort, which is now appealing for information about their identities.

In the Grey Zone, a nebulous post-apocalyptic community built out of shipping containers, Axel (Steven Jesse Bernstein), Scratch (Linda Severt), and Razoreus (Marshall Reid) distract themselves from ennui by skateboarding and listening to the music of Orpheus (Robert McGinley) and his band, the Shredders. On one such night, a mysterious cameraman films Orpheus's lover, Eurydice (Megan Murphy) and takes the footage to Hades (Gian-Carlo Scandiuzzi) and Persephone (Vera McCaughan), the managers of the Euthanasia Broadcast Network, or EBN.

The EBN programming brainwashes and sucks the souls out of the living, where they become part of the network. Needing fresh talent to corner the youth market, Hades sends his goons to murder and kidnap Eurydice at her wedding to Orpheus. Orpheus's manager, Linus (John Billingsley) gives the couple a "Gibsonian Lyre-Axe Guitar" supposedly made by Jimi Hendrix that can unlock new realms of human consciousness. With its power, Orpheus pursues Eurydice's captors through an EBN door.

Inside the EBN, Orpheus meets his parents, Apollo and Calliope, and barely escapes having his memories erased by a magic paper shredder that shreds the minds of incoming souls. Persephone takes an interest in Orpheus's arrival and helps him confront Hades on-air, and Orpheus's resulting performance convinces Hades to turn his quest into a ratings stunt: he'll let Orpheus and Eurydice go as long as he doesn't look back until they're both out. Due to Scratch calling her name, Orpheus turns around before Eurydice's fully out, and she's sent back to the EBN.

One year later, the EBN enjoys high ratings, while Orpheus has become a celebrity and drowns his sorrows in music and skateboarding. He has entered a depression over missing Eurydice, who has become a dancer for the network, and Linus and the others cover for missing gigs and have to remind him to eat. Orpheus's interest is piqued when Axel's gang mentions a gate to the underworld in a mysterious parking garage no one has successfully skated before, but when Linus suggests a tarot reading from an oracle, she cautions him against unnecessary risks. Meanwhile, Persephone wants Orpheus back on-air to encourage a better performance from Eurydice, and the EBN sends Orpheus a magic skateboard that lets him navigate the hellish parking garage.

Orpheus confronts Hades and is given another chance to save Eurydice in the form of a game show; one door leads to Eurydice, while the other leads to his death. Orpheus accepts the challenge, but unbeknownst to him, Eurydice is locked in her dressing room and thus neither door is correct. Upon choosing the wrong door, the Furies decapitate Orpheus with a chainsaw, and, in a moment staged by the EBN, Eurydice reunites with Orpheus in death. Hades and Persephone exult over the spectacle, while Orpheus's head is recovered by Razoreus. After a failed attempt to break into the garage, Axel and his gang strike against the EBN by blowing up one of their satellite dishes. The youth of the Grey Zone begin to look up to Orpheus, using his skull and music for skateboarding rituals. Axel expresses hope that one day they'll realize he risked everything, even himself, for love.

Kathy O'Rourke is a child actress who portrays girls such as Shirley Temple on the screen. However, in real life, Kathy is a self-centered brat. Publicity agent Harry Johnson is tasked by the studio with the job of keeping national magazine reporter Celeste Saunders, his ex-wife, from discovering that their child star is a devil and not an angel.

The musical takes place in a narrative frame in which the cast and audience attend an AA-style support group for people who started the Iraq War. The cast includes CIA operatives, an Iraqi informant, and a BND operative.

The story focuses on the recruitment and eventual disgrace of an Iraqi defector, codenamed "Curveball," and the use and misuse of his testimony by the CIA, State Department, and Bush Administration. In ''Baghdaddy'', as in reality, Curveball provides Western intelligence agencies with false intelligence on Iraqi mobile weapons laboratories. This intelligence, which is later discovered to have been fabricated, was used by Secretary of State Colin Powell in his 2003 speech to the UN Security Council to justify the invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

Act I

The show begins in a support group where Berry, Richart, and Nelson introduce themselves and recite the pledge ("The Pledge"). Martin walks into the meeting late, and after introducing himself, flashes back to the summer of 2001. A recently demoted Martin tries to convince Nelson to publish his compendium based on rumors of Saddam Hussein possessing germ weapons ("Marty's Dilemma"). Nelson, noting the lack of proof, tries to dissuade him from publishing the compendium on the internet. Martin publishes it anyway, justifying his actions ("We Deserve Better").

Several weeks later, an Iraqi man shows up at a Germany customs booth claiming to have important information for the CIA ("Stay Preprise"). At the BND, Richart begins another day as a Junior detective ("Das Man"), but gets assigned to interrogate the informant, codenamed Curveball, as he is the only operative that speaks Arabic. Richart interrogates Curveball, who warns him of mobile weapons labs and agrees to tell everything in exchange for asylum ("Stay"). Realizing how important this intel could be on a global scale, Richart contacts the CIA. ("I Deserve a Reprise")

At the CIA headquarters, outcast analysts Berry and Jerry lament being overlooked in their field. They receive a fax from Richart with Curveball's information ("Berry and the Bad Boy"). Thrilled at the opportunity for action, they bring the case to Nelson, but he asks for more proof before he can approve ("Rules"). He directs them to Martin, who, although wary of Nelson's involvement, joins the group in hopes of gaining credit for his compendium ("Berry's Dilemma"). Over the next month, Curveball slowly reveals his history with the mobile germ weapons, all of which line up with Martin's theories ("Hydrangea Reports").

While the team is optimistic, Jerry intentionally flubs a translation of a message from Richart to make Curveball seem like a reliable source. This leads to the CIA confirming the story and taking the case live. Jerry professes he lied to give Berry the big break she's always wanted ("We Deserve Another Reprise"). As the operatives celebrate their success, Richart begins to have doubts about how honest Curveball's story ("Hydrangea Supplemental Report"). Jerry reevaluates what Berry means to him ("Music to Me"). Curveball and Richart have a night out in Berlin ("Who's Your Baghdaddy"), while the CIA agents receive word of a plane highjacking.

Act II

The people of America are outraged after the events of 9/11, vowing to have revenge on 'all terrorists' ("Change of Tone"). Nelson begins finding holes in Curveball's story and contacts Richart, who, although holding onto hope, is conflicted as the interrogations grow more aggressive ("Hydrangea Reports Reprise"). Berry, impatient with Nelson's system, goes behind his back and shares the case with the State Department. In an effort to stop the case from going off the rails, Nelson pleads to the Second-In-Command to shut it down ("The Second In Command"). When he is rejected, Nelson threatens to leak the inconsistencies of the case to the press, but hesitantly agrees to keep silent when offered the position of Second-In-Command.

Berry, Jerry, and Martin travel to Iraq to search warehouses for the weapons factory Curveball claimed to have built, but fail to find any weapons. In Germany, Richart searches for Curveball, who has fled the BND and is eventually found in a holding cell ("Martin's Search"). As Berry, Jerry, and Martin are on the way to speak with Curveball face-to-face in Germany, their car is ambushed and Jerry is shot and killed. Martin, Berry, and Richart realize Curveball's plan to memorize Martin's compendium and present it as fact ("Speak to Me Tomorrow"). The show ends where it began, with the support group members reciting the pledge ("The Pledge Reprise"). Martin walks into the meeting late, and when asked if he blames himself for these events, the lights dim.

Sedrich Sedrichsohn is an outcast from a small community of Europeans who have fled the twin dangers of the Muslim invaders by establishing a colony on the East Coast of North America, practising a cult derived both from Christianity and Wiccan beliefs. Among their tenets are the belief that Christ continues to suffer in Hell until the Last Judgement, and also the placing of blame for the plague on the use of forbidden technologies such as gunpowder. Journeying across the continent, Sedrichsohn eventually comes across a Sino-Aztec kingdom in the West, the Crystal Empire of the 'Han-Meshika', formed by the synthesis of Chinese refugees from the plague with the native Aztec civilisation. This immensely technologically advanced power derives its scientific advantage from the use of psychic 'Dreamers' who, in a large facility on the equivalent of our world's Alcatraz Island, provide the Crystal Empire with glimpses of alternate universes and thereby stimulate its science (one example given is the adoption of the electric light-bulb as a consequence of a Dreamer's vision).

As a summit of Latin-American nations opens at a ski resort in Chile, all eyes are on Hernán Blanco, the new president of Argentina. A quiet man from the provinces, it is unknown what impact he will make on the international scene and what he will secure for Argentina in the jockeying for power and profits over energy resources. Learning that his daughter's estranged husband is in difficulties which could endanger his reputation, he orders her to be brought to the isolated hotel.

The heads of state argue over two main plans for future energy needs. Mexico wants an alliance of North, Central, and South America that is open to private enterprise, which means access for US energy firms. Brazil wants a South American cartel under state control. Blanco initially thinks that Argentina cannot afford to fall out with its larger neighbour and scorns the Mexican plan. Summoned to a secret meeting with a US official, he is offered three billion dollars via a Barbados intermediary if he will back the Mexican plan.

His life is complicated when his daughter attempts suicide, relapses into mutism, and then under hypnotherapy recounts apparently false memories casting him in a bad light. News then comes that her husband, a drug user, has had a stroke which may prove fatal. This removes the threat hanging over Blanco, whose vote secures approval for the Mexican plan and whose government will have the use of the US largesse.

After spending the night with a woman named Michelle Chang (from ''Make Me''), Jack Reacher is traveling through Wisconsin when he happens to stop at a pawnshop selling an unusual item: a 2005 West Point class ring. Unwilling to accept that such a priceless thing would be willingly sold, Jack suspects it to be stolen and decides against leaving town. He questions the pawnbroker and learns that the ring was sold to him by a biker named Jimmy Rat. Reacher beats up Rat's gang and learns that the ring originally belonged to a fence named Arthur Scorpio, who runs a laundromat in Rapid City, South Dakota. Reacher leaves town, aware that Rat has already warned Scorpio of his plans.

In Rapid City, Reacher encounters two other people with an interest in Scorpio: Gloria Nakamura, a detective who has tried and failed for years to find incriminating evidence of Scorpio's criminal enterprise, and Terrence Bramall, a private investigator hired by Tiffany Jane Mackenzie, a woman searching for her missing twin sister Serena Rose Sanderson, who Reacher learns, through a sympathetic general at West Point, is the owner of the ring. Reacher allows himself to be picked up by Scorpio's men and then subdues them in less than three seconds. In turn, Scorpio provides him with the name of Seymour Porterfield, the man who originally gave him the ring, but secretly instructs an associate of his, Billy, to kill Reacher before he finds Seymour.

Reacher travels to Mule Crossing, a rural town in Wyoming, where Porterfield last lived. A local shopkeep reveals that Sy has been dead for well over a year, supposedly killed by a wild bear. Bramall runs into Reacher at Billy's house, and the two agree to partner up, at least temporarily. They search Sy's house, and find evidence that a woman was living with him. Mackenzie shows up, having grown impatient with Bramall's lack of results, and Reacher reveals his growing suspicion that both Rose and Sy were involved with the illegal opioid trade, which is subsequently confirmed by Kirk Noble, a DEA agent who asks Reacher to keep him informed if he finds Rose or Billy.

While looking for a new lead on Rose's location, three junkies try to scare the group off, but Reacher intimidates them into leaving. The men turn out to be friends of Rose, and when Reacher convinces them that they mean no harm, they are taken to see Rose, who has been in hiding since an IED in Afghanistan shredded her face, leaving her disfigured and in constant pain, making her dependent on opioids. Fearing that her sister will die, Mackenzie formulates a plan to move her to her home in Illinois, where her addiction can be treated in secret. Before they can leave, Stackley, a dealer who has taken over Billy's operation following the latter's disappearance, bribes the junkies to kill Reacher. One is accidentally shot and dies, and Reacher forces the others to lure Stackley into a trap; Rose manages to kill him with a rifle.

As Rose will likely die without a new supply of opioids, Reacher, Bramall, and Mackenzie steal what she needs from Stackley's suppliers, and Reacher cuts a deal with Noble to protect Rose from having to testify against the dealers on the DEA's behalf. Nakamura attempts to arrest Scorpio, who she realizes is the head of the operation, but he chains her to a table. Reacher then confronts Scorpio and stuffs him in a mechanical dryer, while the DEA receives sufficient information to complete their investigation. Reacher learns Seymour had been framed by a Col. Bateman, a corrupt Marine, for trying to expose his theft of military opioid supplies for resale to Scorpio. Seymour had committed suicide; Bateman was convicted for other wrongdoings some time before this story.

Reacher returns Rose's ring to her, and she promises to get clean before she, Bramall, and Mackenzie drive off. Reacher then hitches another ride out of South Dakota, heading towards Kansas.

In 2010, in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, the self-proclaimed "Parking Lot King of Minnesota" Emmit Stussy celebrates his 25th wedding anniversary. Emmit's less successful twin brother Ray asks him for money. Emmit refuses the request. They discuss their past and it is revealed that their father, upon his death, bequeathed to Emmit a Corvette Stingray and to Ray a collection of rare stamps. Ray ended up with the Corvette, and still drives it though it is showing its age, and Emmit got the stamp collection. Ray feels that Emmit took advantage of him to get the better deal; Emmit disputes this perspective. Ray is a St. Cloud parole officer who needs money to marry his new fiancée (and parolee) Nikki Swango. Giving up on asking Emmit for money, Ray manipulates a parolee, Maurice LeFay, who has failed his drug test and therefore faces revocation of parole, into stealing the last remaining stamp from Emmit. However, on his way to Emmit's house, a stoned Maurice loses the paper on which Ray had written the address; trying to remember, Maurice confuses the town of Eden Prairie with Eden Valley, and, remembering only the name Emmit Stussy, finds in a phone book the address of an E. Stussy, who, unbeknownst to him, has no relation whatsoever with the Stussy brothers.

Ennis Stussy is the stepfather to Police Chief Gloria Burgle and adoptive and kindly grandfather to Gloria's son. Burgle is the Chief of Eden Valley, but the department is being folded into a larger municipality, so she will soon lose that title. After spending an evening with Ennis, Burgle begins the drive back home with her son. Realizing that her son Nathan has forgotten a birthday present Ennis gave him, she drives back to his home, only to find Ennis dead in his kitchen and the house ransacked by Maurice as a result of mistaken identity. Upon searching the house for the killer, Gloria finds, hidden under the wooden floor, science fiction novels she had no idea her stepfather had. Back in St. Cloud, Maurice suddenly appears in Ray and Nikki's apartment, explaining that things went south with the robbery. Realizing not only that Maurice killed a man, but also robbed the wrong house and did not obtain the stamp, Ray becomes aggressive; in return, Maurice threatens him with a gun, and blackmails him into giving him $5,000 by the next day. Maurice leaves, but as he exits the building, Nikki and Ray kill him by dropping a window air conditioner on his head.

Meanwhile, Emmit and his business partner, Sy Feltz, contact a shady organization, which they had borrowed money from two years ago, to pay them back fully with interest. However, the man sent by the company, the strange V. M. Varga, explains that the company does not want their money back, and that it was an "investment". He then leaves, as Emmit and Sy wonder what they have gotten themselves into.

A local Pawnee group, the Reasonabilists (aka "Zorpies"), members of a doomsday cult who follow "Zorp the Surveyor", predict that the end of the world is coming. Since they have been wrong in predicting the world's end in the past, they are not taken seriously, and Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) lets them hold an all-night vigil in the park, a Pawnee tradition. Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe) asks Leslie and Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) to join him in monitoring the Reasonabilists during their vigil, which makes the two feel uncomfortable due to their recent break-up. As a precaution to the world's supposed demise, April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) decides to help Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) check off everything on his bucket list before the end of the day. Meanwhile, Entertainment 720, a company created by Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) and Jean-Ralphio Saperstein (Ben Schwartz), is nearing its end. The two decide to spend their last amount of money to hold an “end of the world” party in their office space since the lease is not up until the following day.

Newspaper reporter Shauna Malwae-Tweep shows a romantic interest in Ben after interviewing Chris, Ben, and Leslie about the vigil at the park. Leslie panics and attempts to dissuade Shauna from pursuing Ben. Later, Shauna flirts with Ben and asks him to join her at the “end of the world” party. Tom is pleasantly surprised to find his ex-girlfriend Lucy at the party, whom Jean-Ralphio invited, though he wanted to hook up with her, forgetting that Tom and she had ever dated.

When Ben prepares to meet with Shauna at Entertainment 720, Leslie panics and persuades him to join her in seeing an interesting Pawnee site. Instead, she drives the two in circles, ending up at an abandoned gas station. Ben realizes Leslie's plan and expresses his disapproval of her attempts to interfere with his personal life, noting that the break-up was on her terms. Later, Leslie admits to Ron (Nick Offerman) that she would want to spend her last night with Ben if the world was ending. Ron reminds Leslie that the world is not ending, so she must accept her decision to prioritize her political career over Ben. Meanwhile, April and Andy have completed Andy's bucket list, only missing seeing the Grand Canyon. They steal April's father's car and begin driving to Arizona.

The world does not end, as expected, and Entertainment 720's party is a huge success.

April and Andy arrive at the Grand Canyon, but when Andy asks where the presidents' faces are, April realizes he was actually thinking of Mount Rushmore.

In North Korea, Eom Chul-Woo is assigned by chief director Ri Tae-han of the Reconnaissance General Bureau to assassinate Supreme Guard Command chief Park Byung-jin and the minister of state security to prevent a coup d'état. Eom kills the minister in a car accident. In South Korea, senior presidential secretary Kwak Chul-woo congratulates Kim Kyung-young for winning the presidential election. He is later informed by Li, an ethnic Korean in charge of the Korean branch of China's state security, of the assassination and the possibility of a coup in the North.

Bidding farewell to his wife and daughter, Eom proceeds to the Kaesong Industrial Region, where Park is due to arrive with the supreme leader for a North Korean—Chinese event. Meanwhile, North Korean infiltrators disguised as ROK Army soldiers hijack a US Army MLRS vehicle and launch two missiles at Kaesong. Eom tries to inform Ri about Park's absence just as the missile lands.

Surviving the attack, Eom witnesses KPA soldiers massacring the remaining survivors. Eom and two schoolgirls rescue the gravely injured supreme leader in a toy company van and escape across the border to the South with the rest of the Chinese delegation. Kwak, meanwhile, meets with CIA station chief Joanne Martin, who absolves US responsibility for the incident.

In Ilsan, Eom has an obstetrician to tend the supreme leader, but she is unable to extract a bullet lodged near the supreme leader's brain. Meanwhile, Eom informs Ri of his location, who sends reinforcements to kill the supreme leader. Ri reveals himself to be the mastermind of the coup. Eom eliminates them and evacuates him to a plastic surgery clinic staffed by Kwak's ex-wife, Su-Hyeong. Notified of the fight, Kwak makes his way to his ex-wife's clinic and is tied up by Eom along with the South Koreans. However, South Korean special forces soon detain Eom, while the supreme leader is sent to be treated in a military hospital. Meanwhile, President Lee declares martial law in the country as North Korea declares war on the South.

The next morning, Eom and Kwak shadow the director of South Korea's National Intelligence Service as he meets with North Korean military leaders at Nodongdangsa. North Korean snipers attack the meeting and a car chase ensues. Not expecting Park to be leading the North Korean delegation, Eom shoots him as ordered earlier. Meanwhile, Ri reveals his plans to attack the South by using nuclear missiles but is unable to use them without the nuclear codes. Eom and Kwak foil another assassination attempt on the supreme leader. Tensions rise as the US Air Force launches nuclear missiles at North Korea, which responds by launching a nuclear missile toward Japan. The interception by a Japanese ship causes an electromagnetic pulse which takes down the US missiles. Alarmed by the escalation, Eom convinces Kwak to leak false news that the supreme leader is dead, which leads to the North halting its plans.

Eom forms a plan with Kwak and returns to the North via a secret tunnel to confront Ri in his underground bunker. The ROK Air Force receives Eom's signal to launch missiles at his location, destroying the bunker and killing everyone. With the coup attempt foiled, newly-inaugurated President Kim announces peace and reunification talks with North Korea. South Korean officials repatriate the supreme leader in return for half of North Korea's nuclear arsenal.

Torn inside, Klimkov confesses to one of the revolutionaries, then tries to assassinate the police chief in revenge of his plight. He fails, and then hangs himself.

On June 21, 2028, a riot breaks out in Los Angeles over the city's water privatization. Taking advantage of the chaos, professional criminal Sherman attempts a bank robbery that leaves half his team dead with his brother Lev and another accomplice critically wounded. During the robbery, Lev takes a fancy pen from a well-dressed bank customer who tells Lev he is making a terrible mistake. They escape to the nearby Hotel Artemis, a secretive hospital that treats only criminals, run by Jean "the Nurse" Thomas. Confined inside the hotel for 22 years by her severe agoraphobia and grief over the death of her son, Thomas adheres to a strict set of rules for the hospital, including "No weapons", "No non-members", and "No killing of other guests".

Sherman and Lev are admitted while their accomplice is forcibly ejected by Thomas' assistant, Everest. Lev, given the codename "Honolulu", undergoes the hotel's technologically advanced treatment, including robot-assisted surgery and 3D printed transplant organs. Sherman encounters the hotel's other guests: "Acapulco", an obnoxious arms dealer, and "Nice", an international assassin and old acquaintance. As the riot draws nearer, Thomas receives word that notorious crime lord Orian "The Wolf King" Franklin, who is also the owner of the Hotel is en route. Thomas' preparations are complicated by the arrival of a wounded police officer named Morgan, a childhood friend of Thomas' late son, begging for help. Against Everest's warnings and Thomas' own rules, they admit Morgan.

Thomas shows Sherman evidence that his brother Lev is a drug addict. Through aid from Nice, Sherman discovers the pen Lev stole is marked with the Wolf King's symbol and a concealed case carrying diamonds worth over $18 million. The Wolf King has a strict policy of killing those who steal from him by dumping them in the ocean. Fearful of being discovered, Sherman prepares to fight the Wolf King's men until his brother is stable enough to move. The Wolf King arrives, having survived an attempt on his life, and is admitted, leaving his men and son Crosby in the lobby. Everest sneaks Morgan out of the hotel after treating her wounds. Acapulco learns that Nice has been hired to kill the Wolf King; she incapacitates Acapulco and plants a bomb on the hotel's power generator.

While administering to the Wolf King, Thomas discovers that he was responsible for her son's death. While the police reported he died due to an overdose, her son was killed after attempting to steal the Wolf King's car. The Wolf King paid the police to lie about her son's death and used the tragedy to recruit Nurse Thomas to run Hotel Artemis. Thomas prepares to kill the Wolf King, but is diverted when Nice's bomb disrupts the power and Lev's life support. While Thomas struggles to save Lev, Nice kills the Wolf King. Lev dies and Sherman confronts Nice, but the two are attacked by Acapulco; Sherman is shot but manages to kill him.

As rioters storm the streets outside, Thomas, Sherman, and Nice make their way out of the hotel, while Everest stays behind to stave off the Wolf King's men; Nice follows suit, covering Thomas and Sherman's escape. The two are met by Crosby, but kill him and make their way through the riot to Sherman's getaway car. Thomas decides to stay to give medical aid to the rioters, but tells Sherman of another hotel, the Apache in Las Vegas, before he drives off.

Everest, the last man standing at the Artemis, turns on the hotel's sign as Thomas walks away from the hotel.

In a mid-credits scene, a shadowy figure runs across the screen, suggesting Nice may have also survived.

A presidential candidate is assassinated as part of a conspiracy, and a deliveryman has to flee for his life when he is framed and the evidence against him begins to accumulate.

The story concerns a woman who becomes the second-in-command of a gangster organization-turned-leading business entity, fighting against the ruthless world of man's society, to protect her only son.

Ray Breslin continues to operate his security company to some success, with senior members Hush and Abigail and newcomers Shu Ren, Jasper Kimbral, and Luke Graves as field operators. During a hostage rescue mission in Chechnya, Kimbral, trusting his computer algorithms, deviates from the mission objectives. This results in one of the hostages being shot, later dying of her wounds; Breslin fires Kimbral as a result.

A year later, Shu is contacted by his family to protect his cousin Yusheng Ma. Soon to announce groundbreaking satellite communications technology from his telecommunications company, Yusheng has been targeted by a rival company, Ruscho. After attending a party in Bangkok, Shu defends Yusheng from masked men, but both are stunned with tasers and kidnapped.

Later, Shu finds himself imprisoned in an unknown arena, where inmates are forced to fight. Shu is forced to brawl another prisoner and wins, and encounters fellow inmate Kimbral, who explains the prison is called HADES, where he has been held for several months. Luke, Hush, Abigail, and Breslin attempt to locate Shu after his and Yusheng's disappearance.

Drawing on Breslin's training to formulate an escape plan, Shu meets the warden Gregor Faust, who calls himself the "Zookeeper", and learns that Faust wants Yusheng's communications patents in exchange for their release. Yusheng tells Shu that he buried the technology for fear it could be used to hijack any nuclear launch system in the world, and they resolve to escape.

Breslin determines that HADES is funded by the same mysterious organization who funded the Tomb, and seeks help from an old contact, Trent DeRosa. While following a lead on Shu's disappearance, Luke is caught and transferred to HADES.

Shu befriends the prison cook and learns that the prison layout changes every night. Kimbral reveals that another inmate, a hacker known as Count Zero, knows the layout. Shu earns his trust and Count Zero gives him the information, but in doing so reveals his identity. The following day, Shu, Luke, and Kimbral are brought in for questioning and forced to watch as Count Zero is presumably executed. Kimbral reveals that he actually runs HADES; in the year since being dismissed from Breslin's team, he designed and built HADES to prove his algorithms work and that his prison is literally inescapable, since it is not operated by human guards but rather by an automatic system.

Breslin and DeRosa find clues revealing Kimbral's connection to HADES. Knowing Kimbral is out for revenge, Breslin allows himself to be captured and sent to HADES. Using a hidden communication device in his tooth, Breslin stays in contact with Hush while attempting to breach the prison's defenses from the inside. Breslin, Shu, and Luke formulate a new plan while enlisting the help of Yusheng, the cook, Count Zero's friends, and other inmates. They manage to disable the prison's security cameras and, with Hush's help, temporarily shut down Galileo, the prison's automated defense system. They break into the medical center and attempt to gain control of the prison's systems and get to the control room. The Zookeeper responds with an armed force, and in the ensuing shootout, several inmates are killed and the group becomes separated. DeRosa, following his own leads, locates the prison from the outside.
