The game's protagonist is a catlike child named Niko, who awakes in a dark and unfamiliar house. They interact with a computer, which addresses the player by a name derived from the computer's login name via an external dialog box. According to the machine, the world that Niko currently is in is near ruin, and the player's goal is to guide them back to their homeworld. They discover the world's sun, which is the form of a lightbulb, and use it to exit the house, emerging in a barren wasteland.

There they encounter a robot, which tells them that they are prophesied to save the world. Niko's goal is to carry the sun through its three areas, and place it at the apex of a central tower, restoring daylight; they are currently in the "Barrens". The robot teaches Niko to communicate with the player, telling Niko that the player is a god of the game's world whose responsibility is to guide the "Messiah" Niko. Niko meets Silver, a more sentient "tamed" robot, who gifts them a piece of amber that Niko uses as a guide to the next area.

Now in the arboreal "Glen", Niko converses with the area's residents, including the younger child Alula and older child Calamus, as well as the nature spirit Maize. They then enter the urbanized third area, the "Refuge", and travel down to the city's surface with the aid of a lamplighter. Arriving at the library, they are directed to the librarian George, and get her attention with the help of researcher Kip Silverpoint. After some study, George translates a book of Niko's, a journal previously obtained back from the Barrens. It states that the tower, which is controlled by an "entity", can be accessed using three phosphoric items. This "entity" is the same voice that interacted with the player at the beginning of the game, and has limited control of the world. Niko has two such items on hand, and George gifts them the final one.

Niko arrives at the tower, but the player is unable to speak to them anymore. The entity informs Niko that both they and the player have won, and that they will return home now. Niko sees this as anticlimactic, but complies. The player finds a mysterious note has appeared as their new desktop wallpaper, telling them how to reconnect with Niko, and the player reappears, guiding them to the top. Discovering notes made by a mysterious figure termed "the Author", they learn that the entity has grown out of control and became destructive. Once at the top, the Author informs them that they can either break the sun and return Niko home, which would destroy the world, or place the sun at the top of the tower, trapping Niko in this world. Niko leaves the decision up to the player, forming the game's ending.

"Solstice" path

After the completion of the game, a note appears in the user's Documents folder, allowing the player to continue via the alternate "Solstice" ending path. Initially, it is identical to the main game, aside from Niko early possessing the Author's journal from the Barrens. When Niko meets Silver in the Barrens and enter the mines, they travel to an observation room instead, and meet Proto, a more advanced prototype of the prophet robot. Proto reminds Niko of the events of the original story line, which took place before this repeat. According to them, the world is a simulation, termed the "World Machine"; this new run is a reset of the machine.

Niko, Silver, and Proto travel to the Glen, but the latter two are crushed by a rockfall, but not before Proto gives Niko their backup memory disk. There, Niko meets Calamus and Alula again, and repairs the local mechanic Cedric's plane. Cedric says that his father was the Author, who created the World Machine to replace the previous world after its destruction. Niko and Cedric take his plane to the Refuge, and Cedric uses the backup memory disk to restore Proto, instructing Niko to find Rue, a sentient fox. Rue reveals that the World Machine is the original game's entity, and Niko's presence in the world corrupted it. Cedric and a restored Proto reappear, and alongside Niko, they enter the internals of the world machine, "taming" it and reversing its destructive behavior. Niko places the sun at the Tower and restores the world, reverting the deaths of characters, and Niko returns home. After reopening the game, the World Machine explains that without Niko, the player has no way to connect with the world, and gives an option to replay the game using Niko's recorded memories, allowing subsequent playthroughs of the game, with Niko represented by the World Machine's reflection of them.

The film opens in 1991 in medias res, with emergency services responding to a call from a young girl. She sounds panicked and screams about her brother Antoñito, and something "coming to get him", before the call cuts off.

The film then goes back in time three days. Verónica is a 15-year-old girl living with her mother and three siblings in an apartment in the working-class district of Vallecas, Madrid. Their father recently died and their mother works long hours at a bar to support the family, leaving Verónica in charge of her younger siblings: twins Lucia and Irene, and Antoñito. On the day of the solar eclipse, her teacher explains how some ancient cultures used eclipses to stage human sacrifices and summon dark spirits.

While the school gathers on the roof to view the eclipse, Verónica, her friend Rosa, and their classmate Diana go into the basement to conduct a séance using a Ouija board. Verónica wants to reach out to her late father, and Diana wants to reach out to her late boyfriend, who died in a motorcycle accident. The board responds right away but Rosa and Diana pull their hands back when the glass cup becomes too hot to touch. Verónica's hand remains on it, and at the moment of the eclipse, the cup shatters, cutting her finger and dripping blood onto the board. Verónica becomes unresponsive, whispering something repeatedly that Rosa leans in to hear, and suddenly lets out a demonic scream. After passing out, Verónica wakes in the school nurse's office, who tells her she probably passed out from iron deficiency.

Verónica begins experiencing paranormal occurrences. She is unable to eat her dinner, as if an invisible hand is preventing her. Claw and bite marks appear on her body and she hears strange noises. Her friends begin avoiding her. Looking for answers, she goes back to the school basement and finds the school's elderly blind nun whom the students call "Sister Death." The nun scolds her for doing something so dangerous and explains that the séance attached a dark spirit to her; she needs to protect her siblings. The nun tries to compel the spirit to leave her, but nothing happens.

Verónica draws protective Viking symbols for the kids, only for the demon to destroy them. She tries to help Lucia when the spirit chokes her, but Lucia says it was Verónica who was choking her. That night, Verónica dreams that her siblings are eating her. She wakes up to find that she's on her first period. As she scrubs her mattress, she finds burn marks on the underside. Later, she finds on each of the kids' mattresses a large burn mark in the shape of a human body. Verónica goes to Sister Death for advice; the nun tells of how she used to see dark spirits when she was younger, and intentionally blinded herself in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the visions. Sister Death tells her that she can force the spirits to leave by doing right what she did wrong. Verónica learns that it is important to say goodbye to the spirit at the end of the séance. After going to a party at Rosa's house, she asks Rosa and Diana to help her hold another séance, but they refuse. Rosa reveals that, at the séance, Verónica whispered that she herself would die in five days.

Desperate, she decides to hold the séance with her young siblings. She has Antoñito draw the protective symbols on the walls, but he flips to the wrong page and instead draws symbols of invocation. When she tells the spirit to say goodbye, it refuses. She calls the police as the spirit snatches Antoñito, manages to grab him back, and escapes along with Lucia and Irene. However, when she gets to the exit she sees in a mirror that she is not actually holding Antoñito but just imagined it. She returns to find her brother hiding in a closet and calling her name. She finds him and notices he won't go with her. Verónica looks at herself in the mirror and sees the demon, realizing she has been possessed by the demon the entire time, and had been harming her siblings under its control. She attempts to end the possession by slitting her own throat but is prevented by the demon. The police enter to find her being attacked by an invisible force and passing out. The medics carry her and Antoñito out while a shaken detective observes the scene. As the detective watches a framed photograph of Verónica suddenly catch fire, he is informed that she has died. Five years later in 1996, he reports of unexplained paranormal activity having occurred in Madrid. It is explained that the movie is based on the true events of the first police report in Spain where a police officer certifies having witnessed paranormal activity.

During the Philippine Revolution in October 1897, Tagalog revolutionaries allied with the Katipunan attack a Spanish garrison in Baler, Aurora, killing 37 out of 50 soldiers stationed there. Three months later, the 2nd Expeditionary Battalion led by Captain Enrique de las Morenas y Fossí and Lieutenant Martín Cerezo is sent from Manila to retake the village. Despite being informed by Brother Carmelo of the San Luís Obispo de Tolosa church in Baler that the rebels have left, Cerezo takes no chances and orders his men to proceed with caution. Upon their arrival, they meet Sergeant Jimeno Costa, a survivor of the massacre, and Teresa, a villager who claims to have no qualms with the Spanish Empire. As the battalion consists of new recruits, they are warned by de las Morenas that the humidity, diseases, typhoons, and wildlife are the rebels' closest allies. Among the cadets is Carlos, an artist from Fuenlabrada de los Montes hoping to study at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando after the war. He confides with Brother Carmelo, who shares opium with him to relieve their pain.

Some time later, a wounded messenger delivers news that the United States have declared war on Spain and subsequently destroyed the Spanish fleet in Cavite. As Manila is under siege, supplies to the battalion have been cut off. Morenas orders his men to fortify the church against a possible attack. On 30 June 1898, Tagalog rebels attack the battalion, forcing them to retreat into the church. The next morning, Calixto Villacorta, speaking for Commander Teodoro Novicio Luna of the Filipino forces, offers a one-day truce for each side to bury their own. As both sides gather their dead, Spanish cadet Juan defects to the rebels.

By 10 October, several cadets fall victim to beriberi due to contamination in the food rations from Manila. As Juan attempts to convince the battalion that they are fighting for a lost cause, Morenas succumbs to beriberi that night, leaving Cerezo in charge of the men. Teresa and the village women bring oranges and the latest newspapers to the church as a peace offering, leading to an argument between Cerezo and Costa over the fate of the battalion. On 31 December, Brother Carmelo dies of beriberi. Days later, upon hearing Teresa singing in the village, Cerezo shoots her, prompting the Tagalog forces to shell the church with artillery in retaliation. Cerezo leads Costa and some cadets to sabotage the rebels' cannon, but an erratic Carlos goes further by stealing the village's food and burning the surrounding houses before retreating back to the church. The next day, Carlos is locked in the basement after Brother Carmelo's opium pipe is found and he is experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

On 18 May 1899, after Carlos emerges from his rehabilitation, Lieutenant Colonel Cristóbal Aguilar y Castañeda, on behalf of Governor-General Diego de los Ríos, arrives at the church to deliver newspapers and orders for the battalion to lay down their arms. Cerezo, however, is still not convinced that Spain has lost its colonies to the U.S., believing that the documents he received are false. Carlos offers to travel back to Manila to verify the news they were receiving, but he is captured by Tagalog forces and brought to Luna, who tells him that Spain had sold the Philippines to the Americans for $20 million, leading to the Philippine–American War. He returns to the church to tell Cerezo what he has learned, but Cerezo still refuses to stand down. That night, Carlos, José, and Carvajal attempt to flee the church, but are caught by Costa, who chops off Carlos' right arm while Cerezo has the other two cadets executed. As his men lay wounded from another gun battle, Cerezo realizes the truth when he reads a personnel transfer article on a newspaper indicating that his friend Francisco Díaz was posted to Málaga.

On 2 June, Cerezo has Carlos wave the white flag at the church tower, marking the end of the siege. He then hands over his formal surrender to Luna, who agrees not to take the battalion prisoner and to leave their fate to the American forces. He gives them a guard of honor, and they part with the words ''"it has been four centuries, lieutenant."'' Carlos is given a letter of exemplary conduct by Cerezo, but he threatens to tell the Spanish authorities what his superior did to his battalion. Disillusioned by the ordeal he faced, he throws away his art book before he and the surviving members of the battalion leave the church.

The siege lasted for 337 days, with 17 Spanish casualties and more than 700 Filipino deaths. It also marked the end of the Spanish Empire. Of the survivors of the 2nd Expeditionary Battalion, Cerezo received the Laureate Cross and in the historical events the enlisted men received the Cross of Military Merit and a pension for life.

Carmen (Verdú) is married to Carlos (De la Torre), a rude, emotionally abusive construction worker who barely pays any attention to his wife and teenage daughter. One night, during a wedding, Carlos pretends to offer himself for the act of Carmen's cousin, supermarket security guard and amateur hypnotist Pepe (Mota), but he instead crashes Pepe's performance as his idea of a joke. However, he ends up unexpectedly affected by the hypnosis, to the point of holding Pepe hostage with a knife for a moment while everybody believes he is still joking. From the next day onwards, Carlos starts having lapses of time where he shows a very different personality, behaving instead like a loving, charismatic and intelligent man. Shocked yet gradually delighted, Carmen welcomes this change, but she starts suspecting there is something sinister behind it when Carlos's second personality has brief but dangerous episodes of psychosis.

She enlists the aid of Pepe and his hypnotism teacher, odontologist Dr. Fumetti (Pou), and together discover the truth: Carlos had sleeping mediumnic abilities, and the failed hypnosis act caused a dead man's soul to forge a spiritual link with him, possessing him at times. After investigating further, Carmen and Pepe eventually find out the identity of the dead man, a dancing prodigy named Alberto "Tito" Cantero (Gutiérrez) who had schizophrenia and murdered his own mother before committing suicide in 1983. This is further proved in a club, in which Carlos dances spectacularly with Carmen to Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra" song. Carmen, Pepe and Dr. Fumetti hold a séance through the body of a dying old man to try to convince Tito to leave Carlos alone, but the spirit refuses claiming to be in love with Carmen. The latter impulsively drives Dr. Fumetti away when he tries to destroy the spirit by killing the old man, which would have killed Carlos too.

Time passes, and Carmen is left conflicted about what to do, while the Tito-possessed Carlos becomes increasingly unhinged due to his constant psychotic visions of chimpanzees tormenting him. At his new job as a steward, Tito has a breakdown, and only the arrival of Carmen and Pepe impedes him from possibly murdering an entire wedding with a knife. In order to solve the situation once for all, Pepe pretends to be an entertainer and performs a hypnotism act for the guests, which he uses to send both Tito and Carmen to the depths of Carlos's mind. Here she finds the mental representations of both men, each pleading for her to allow them to take over the body, with Carlos promising to make up for his failure as a husband and father. She faces a difficult decision, but despite seemingly accepting Tito over Carlos, she stabs Tito with the mental representation of the knife, sending his soul to the afterlife for good. After waking up, she leaves silently the restaurant, implying she has decided to abandon Carlos and seek a better life.

Erik is from a working-class family whose patriarch is an aging retired cop working as a security guard and takes the course to lift them from poverty. Christian comes from a wealthy family and has the option to attend an Ivy League university in the United States, but opts to take up law in the Philippines partly because he wants to be in close proximity with the girlfriend (Ana Luna), which his father (Pontri Bernardo), a Filipino-born American lawyer and businessman in the United States, knows little about.

In 1985, Queen prepares to perform at Live Aid in Wembley Stadium. In 1970, Farrokh Bulsara works as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport and lives with his parents and sister. He goes to a pub to see the band Smile perform. Seeking them out after the show, he meets and is attracted to Mary Austin, who works at the boutique Biba. He finds drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May and learns that their lead singer, Tim Staffell, has just quit to join another band, Humpy Bong. Farrokh offers himself as a replacement and impresses them with his vocal ability. Farrokh sees Mary at Biba, and they become a couple. With Farrokh as the lead singer and new bassist John Deacon, the band plays gigs across Britain. Farrokh pushes them to think bigger and sell their van to finance a record album. An A&R rep from EMI asks engineer Roy Thomas Baker for demos.

Farrokh changes his name to Freddie Mercury and renames the band Queen. They sign with John Reid, Elton John's manager, who books an American tour. Paul Prenter, who is attracted to Freddie, manages their daily schedule. An appearance on ''Top of the Pops'' gives Queen their first hit, "Killer Queen". Freddie proposes to Mary, but begins questioning his sexuality. In 1975, Queen record their fourth studio album, ''A Night at the Opera,'' placing extensive effort into recording Freddie's masterpiece "Bohemian Rhapsody". However, they quit EMI when executive Ray Foster refuses to release it as the album's lead single, mostly because of its six-minute length. Freddie conspires with radio DJ Kenny Everett to debut the song on his program. Despite critical pans, "Bohemian Rhapsody" becomes a global hit, launching Queen to international superstardom. Following a world tour, Freddie begins an affair with Paul and comes out to Mary as bisexual. She counters that he is gay and they call off the engagement but remain close friends.

The band's success continues into the 1980s, but tensions arise over Paul's influence on Freddie. At a lavish party at his home, Freddie is attracted to a waiter, Jim Hutton, who tells Freddie to find him when he learns self-acceptance. Paul encourages Reid to persuade Freddie to go solo, but when the idea offends Freddie, Paul feigns ignorance and Freddie fires Reid without consulting the band. Freddie's relationship with the band sours further after the campy music video for "I Want to Break Free", where the band appears in drag, backfires and he signs a $4-million solo deal with CBS Records, effectively breaking up the band. He records his 1984 solo album ''Mr. Bad Guy'' in Munich and engages in drugs and gay orgies with Paul. Mary, now married and pregnant, visits unexpectedly and urges him to return to Queen and participate in the benefit concert Live Aid. Realizing that Paul withheld news of Live Aid from him and has been a corrosive influence, Freddie fires him. In retaliation, Paul goes public about Freddie's sexual escapades.

Freddie returns to London to reconcile with the band and persuade them to play at Live Aid as a last-minute addition. Freddie learns that he has AIDS. He reveals his condition to the band, but brushes off their sympathy, wishing to focus on performing and making music for however long he has left. The band embraces in solidarity. On the day of Live Aid, Freddie reconnects with Jim Hutton, Mary, and his family, and heeds his father's Zoroastrian maxim, "Good thoughts, good words, good deeds". Freddie and the band are in top form at Live Aid, performing "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Radio Ga Ga", "Hammer to Fall" and "We Are the Champions", and helping increase donations during the event. The film concludes with images and text recounting that Freddie died on 24 November 1991, of AIDS-related pneumonia at 45 and was cremated in the tradition of his family's Zoroastrian faith; ''Bohemian Rhapsody'' was re-released two weeks later and reached #1 again; Queen's lawyer-turned-manager Jim "Miami" Beach and the band established The Mercury Phoenix Trust in 1992, helping to fight AIDS worldwide; Freddie remained friends with Mary and had a loving relationship with Hutton for the remainder of his life.

He is shocked by the fact that his wife cheated on him. Meanwhile, Slayton leads Jimmy out, but Volodya appears. He frees Edward, but he ends up running about the island in a frenzy and dies. Meanwhile, Slayton shares with Jimmy his plans for the island: he wants to fly in a balloon, and then go back for the treasure. After that, Slayton pushes Jimmy into the water and shoots him in front of the island's inhabitants.

The story follows Laura, a Spanish woman living in Buenos Aires, who returns with her teenage daughter Irene and young son Diego to her small hometown just outside Madrid for her younger sister's wedding. Laura runs into her old friend Paco in the town square while Irene flirts with a local teenage boy named Felipe. After dancing with Felipe at the wedding reception, Irene complains that she does not feel well and goes upstairs to sleep. Later that night, Laura goes to check on Irene only to find she is missing. She receives a text message from kidnappers urging the family to pay a large sum or they will kill Irene.

The family decides not to involve the local police for Irene's safety, as the kidnappers will kill Irene if the police get close. Laura receives a text message demanding €300,000 against the release of her daughter. Chaos ensues as the family scrambles to raise the money. During a heated confrontation with Laura's father Antonio, Paco learns that some family members believe he "owes" them money, as the land Paco's vineyards were built on was sold to him by Laura at below market rate because he was the child of the family's servants. Laura's brother-in-law, Fernando, calms the situation and brings in his friend Jorge, a retired police officer, for consultation. During a private conversation, Jorge tells Laura that she should include members of her family on her suspect list, including her husband. Desperate to help, Paco considers selling his lands to a business partner so he can pay Irene's ransom but his wife Bea advises against it. She reveals that she has been receiving the same text messages as Laura on her phone.

Laura's husband, Alejandro, is informed of the kidnapping and arrives in town. He receives a cold welcome by Laura's family before going with Laura, Paco, and Fernando to meet Jorge, who asks to talk to Alejandro alone. Alejandro becomes very upset when Jorge mentions that Laura discussed his past problems with alcoholism and his ongoing bankruptcy. Enraged by how a stranger knows this information, Alejandro leaves with Laura and they argue about the best course of action. Laura confesses to Paco that Irene is his biological daughter, conceived sixteen years prior during Laura's trip to her hometown shortly after she and Alejandro married. Shocked by this information, Paco readies to sell his estate, but Bea angrily refutes Laura's claim. She believes Laura is lying about Irene's paternity and might be involved in the kidnapping herself in order to get money out of Paco. He leaves the house anyway and comes back hours later with a duffel bag containing the ransom money. After examining Irene's upstairs room, Jorge tells Alejandro and Laura that whoever kidnapped Irene knew that Paco was her father. During a conversation with Fernando, Alejandro learns that the whole family, along with some of the townsfolk, know that Irene is not his biological daughter because of her resemblance to Paco.

That night, Laura's niece Rocío sneaks out of the house and travels to an abandoned, run-down building on the outskirts of the town. Once there, she meets with her estranged husband Gabriel and his accomplice Luis. It is revealed that all three of them orchestrated Irene's kidnapping and that Gabriel has been sending the ransom messages to Laura. Luis admits that he is the one who has been sending the same ransom messages to Bea, unbeknownst to Gabriel. This angers Gabriel and prompts a crying Rocío to beg for her husband to let Irene go; their collective actions have deviated too far from the original plan and caused irreparable damage. Despite Luis's protests, Gabriel agrees to let Irene go at dawn. Rocío returns home and is questioned by her mother Mariana, Laura's older sister, as to her whereabouts. Rocío brushes her mother off, leaving Mariana suspicious.

At dawn, Paco receives a voice recording of Irene begging for her rescue and a text message of where to perform the exchange. He grabs the duffel bag and drives to the destination. Once he arrives, Paco gets out of his car and rushes to inspect a loud noise made by something large being tossed into a nearby river. When he returns to his car, he finds Irene tied up in the backseat and the bag missing. He delivers Irene to Laura and Alejandro, who rush Irene to a hospital. Exhausted, Paco returns home, only to find that Bea has left him.

Shortly afterwards, Laura and her family pack their belongings and say goodbye to the family as they will be returning to Argentina. Felipe promises to call Irene when she gets home. In the car, Irene asks Alejandro why it was Paco who rescued her. He does not answer. As the car drives off, Mariana sits by herself in the town square. She calls over her husband, Fernando, and asks him to sit down. As the two begin to converse, the screen fades to white.

Following the assassination of General Antonio Luna, the task of purging his loyalists in the Philippine Revolutionary Army falls on General Gregorio "Goyo" del Pilar, a young, brash general and a favorite of President Emilio Aguinaldo. During a five-month respite from combat, Goyo and his unit, including his older brother Julian and his best friend Vicente Enriquez, capture Angel Bernal, the younger brother of Luna's former aides-de-camp, Manuel and José. They locate Manuel hiding with merchant Don Mariano Nable José and torture him into joining Goyo's unit. When Manuel refuses, they kill him. Meanwhile, Joven Hernando, who now works for his uncle, is assigned to be Goyo's photographer.

While the Filipino army relaxes and the American forces prepare for a second offensive, General José Alejandrino, a Luna ally spared from the purge, meets Apolinario Mabini, who resigned from Aguinaldo's cabinet after the death of Luna. Mabini implores him to find out the real cause of Luna's death. Meanwhile, Aguinaldo joins Goyo in Bulacan and promotes him to Major-General of Pangasinan, while Goyo begins to court Remedios, the elusive daughter of Don Mariano. Meanwhile, Aguinaldo meets Mabini and offers him the post of Chief Justice, to which Mabini reluctantly accepts.

Alejandrino travels to Manila to negotiate with General Elwell Otis and Arthur MacArthur Jr., who reject his proposal. Soon after, hostilities resume and the Filipino side is caught off-guard. Aguinaldo orders the march of the army to Pozorrubio to meet with General Manuel Tinio and organize a fighting force. However, Tinio's defeat by the American forces Aguinaldo to retreat further north. The arduous march escorting Aguinaldo and his family through the western mountainous terrain of the Cordilleras, daily American raids and ongoing tensions between soldiers of Luna's old unit take a toll on Goyo, weakens their defenses against American forces attacking their rearguard; the Americans are also successful in capturing Aguinaldo's mother and son.

The army arrives at Mount Tirad and Goyo devises a delaying action to buy Aguinaldo and the rest of the army time to escape. Together with former Luna Sharpshooter Lieutenant García, fortified trenches are dug along the route of the mountain. The following day, the Americans quickly capture a town at the foot of the mountain but are initially unable to penetrate the defenses. With the aid of local guide Januario Galut, the American troops, mostly from the 33rd Volunteer Infantry Regiment under Major Peyton C. March, find the secret path leading to the top of the mountain behind the trenches and flank the Filipinos who are quickly overrun. Goyo, inspired by trauma, resolves to finish the fight, but is shot dead by an American sniper. As a result, his troops' morale breaks and the defenders quickly surrender. Joven and Garcia's son Kiko, also flee, but Joven falls off a cliff after encountering an American soldier. The Americans strip Goyo of his uniform and belongings and bury him at Mount Tirad.

Aguinaldo is captured by the Americans in Palanan, Isabela on March 23, 1901, effectively ending the war. Held as a prisoner of war in Malacañang Palace, he is visited by his former aide-de-camp Manuel Quezon, who surrenders to the Americans upon orders of his superior, General Tomás Mascardo, and visits Aguinaldo to verify his capture and consults Aguinaldo whether Mascardo should surrender. Aguinaldo tells Quezon that the decision for Mascardo to surrender is up to Mascardo himself. Mabini is captured by the Americans and exiled to Guam where he pens his own narrative of the war, ''La Revolución Filipina'' ('The Philippine Revolution'). He notes Aguinaldo's failure as an ineffective leader of the Philippines. Alejandrino's position is also overrun. Remedios receives a letter from Goyo. Joven is then rescued by Kiko and Eduardo Rusca, Luna's former aide. Decades later, Quezon runs for president in 1935, while an older Eduardo and Joven give Aguinaldo a small salute.

Sylvain Maro, inspector of the Paris police, is considered one of the best police officers of the French capital, who dreams of serving in the special forces. After it is found out that he slept with the Mayor's wife, he is transferred to the municipal police of Marseille, whose mayor is the former Commissaire Gibert. While chasing a taxi driver, he ends up drowning the patrol car and as a result enters into a skirmish with the city police.

Gibert informs the team about a "gang of Italians", who use two powerful Ferrari for committing their crimes, and instructs Maro to arrest them. Due to the local police cars being under-powered, he realizes he won't be able to keep up with a Ferrari. Alain, a colleague of Maro, tells the newcomer about the legendary taxi of Marseille and about the adventures of Daniel and Emilien.

But years have passed: the car is now in Morocco, Emilien has left the police, and Daniel lives in Miami. Sylvain and his team find Daniel's nephew, Eddie Makhlouf, who was the taxi driver he was chasing. Sylvain offers Eddie a deal; find his uncle's taxi and he will be set free.

Eddie makes a counter-offer, stating that he wishes to be the driver of the taxi when they find it. They find the car, but it turns out that the nephew does not have the talent of his uncle. The next day they begin operation "Mafia", as named by Gibert. As the thieves are escaping, Gibert makes a mistake leading to a car pile-up, one of the victims of which is revealed to be the Minister he had met previously.

Sylvain chases after the thieves but is still unable to keep up with their cars. Realizing that the car needs more modifications he ends up leaving the taxi with Eddie's sister, Samia. Sylvain is immediately smitten by her and tries to make a move but is turned down. He goes with Eddie to meet an "Italian" Rashid, who informs them about a place where the Italians train - an abandoned racing track. Sylvain and Eddie go there and win the race. One of the robbers, Tony Dog, a former driver for Formula 1, offers Sylvain a job and invites him to a private party.

The entire municipal police team is sent there. Eddie, disguised as a waiter, enters Dog's office and finds the plan for the next robbery - the theft of a diamond "Cassiopeia". He shows Sylvain the evidence, but when they hear someone coming, they try to hide in the room. Both overhear the robbers speaking to two corrupt city cops. Because of Eddie's stupidity they get caught and Eddie ends up revealing everything to one of them. After Sylvain escapes through the window, Eddie is rescued by one of the police officers.

On the day of the robbery, the diamond "Cassiopeia" arrives in Marseille by helicopter. Before it can land, the robbers threaten to blow it up using a stolen military drone. After blowing up a couple of police cars as proof, the pilot is forced to fly the helicopter to a yacht. Sylvain and Eddie chase after the helicopter along with the cops.

The corrupt cops are stopped by Eddie' friends while clearing a path for the taxi. The cops commandeer a civilian vehicle but they eventually get stopped by the municipal police while the robbers continue their pursuit of the taxi. After opening fire on the taxi, Sylvain uses the boost to gain more speed and as a result the taxi is sent flying off a cliff and crashing into the back of the yacht where Rashid has already claimed the diamond from the pilot.

The gang is then arrested, and the diamond is returned. Sylvain heads over to Samia to tell her about the car when she reveals that it's already over the news. Eddie is shown on television pretending to be a cop while taking credit. He thanks Sylvain and Samia before ending it with a proposal to his girlfriend. In the hospital, Alain, seeing the broken taxi, is upset. Later at a ceremony, everyone involved is awarded.

Sylvain arrives in a Lamborghini confiscated from the Italians, followed by Samia in a new car she had been working on. Both then proceed to race to the airport.

This legend was told by the Ancient Spirit, who hid himself at the bottom of a dried-up well in the very middle of Africa. On the shores of Lake Chad many different birds and animals have settled. Once upon a time they decided to elect a king and chose Lion. They called him the bravest, the strongest, the wisest and the most beautiful. Then a son was born to the Leo and the Lioness - Little Lion. When the Little Lion became able to walk alone, he met a hyena who told Little Lion that he is a Lion, hence the king of beasts, which means he was the bravest, the strongest, the wisest, the most beautiful.

Little Lion matured, began to move farther from home and came across a well with the Ancient Spirit. Little Lion boasted that he was the bravest, the strongest, the wisest, the most beautiful! The Ancient Spirit laughed and said: "You are the most stupid!" Then Little Lion was bitten by an ant who was not afraid of anyone, because he defended his anthill. Little Lion said: "You are indeed more brave than me, but I am the strongest!" The Ant laughed, called Little Lion the most stupid and advised him to find the Bald Elephant.

And the Little Lion went to look for the Bald Elephant. And when he saw how a huge elephant easily rips out a tree by the root, he realized who is the strongest! The eagle said: "Listen and remember! Do not say that you are brave - you will meet someone braver! Do not say that you are strong - you will meet a stronger one! Do not say that you are wise - you will meet someone more wise!" "I understand, – answered the Little Lion, – But who is the most beautiful? "The eagle flew away without listening.

Some time has passed, the young Lion called the beasts and birds using his roar, and announced that he would tear apart those who would call him the bravest, the strongest, the wisest and the most beautiful. Lion was approached by the young Lioness who said: "I fell in love with you at first sight. You can tear me apart, but I'll still say it! You are the most beautiful!" The lion smiled at her with a shy smile, because he realized that the one who is loved, is always the most, most, most, most ...

Headstrong pilot Bill Kellogg (Dick Purcell), despite landing safely, flew his airliner into a storm, and is fired. When, his boss at Trans Continental Airways, Jim Horne (Jack Holt), finds out Bill has secretly wed Joan Hammond (Jacqueline Wells), the daughter of the airline's owner, he relents and allows Bill to keep his job.

Fellow pilot, Ike Matthews (James Burke), is assigned to a proving flight over the western coast of the South American jungle to photograph potential landing fields. Bill is jealous of the publicity that the first flight will achieve and steals the aircraft to do the job himself. Flying in the same irresponsible way that made him dangerous, Bill pushes on, even when he is radioed that there is insufficient fuel on board.

In running out of gas, Bill chooses to crash-land near an Indian village. Only an Indian woman, L-ana (Karen Sorrell) helps Bill, as the villagers refuse to help him get back to civilization. Bill tries but is unable to get the radio working to send out an emergency message. Jim and Ike fly over the South American jungle, but a storm prevents them from spotting the village. They continue on to Rio Vista where the pilots meet Joan and for her sake, Jim organizes a rescue mission.

Led by natives, the rescuers finds a village holding Dr. Butler (Robert Fiske) captive. After a fierce battle, the doctor is freed but meanwhile, Bill, despondent over his fate, has taken on the native ways by marrying L-ana. Jim's expedition finally locates the tribe, but when he sees Bill's new life and native marriage, the two men cannot reconcile what has happened.

Knowing he is now able to get back home, Bill leaves without L-ana, but her brother (Fritz Leiber) is enraged at this affront, and kills him. After returning to Rio Vista, Jim tells Joan that Bill died in the accident, sacrificing himself to avoid landing in a field full of women and children. Bill is able to allow Joan to accept that her husband still loved her and died courageously.

fiveEight wakes up in a strange mechanical world, where everything they once knew has been replaced by machinery. They have no memory of what happened, except that things were much better before they woke up. They have nothing pushing them forward except a feeling in the back of their mind, telling them that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, with nothing but the hope of getting to something better.

Wealthy wine maker Jonathan Bragg (Keith Carradine) hires Tuscan wine detective Victor Borgo (Gaetano Guarino) to find the source of a mysterious bottle of wine, the "Oroboros". As Borgo follows the twisted, perilous trail, he descends deeper into an arcane Tuscan underworld, encountering an earth-worshiping wine cult and the dark side of human nature.

Jopson's screenplay brings Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado" into contemporary times and sets it the underworld of the Tuscan wine business. With references to Brunellopoli, the great Italian wine scandal of 2008 and with cameo appearances from real-world winemakers such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Luca Sanjust, the film brings a level of authenticity when it comes to the wine business.

In a nod to Poe's short story, in addition to the wine theme, Terroir features Masonic references and symbols as well as a terrifying scene in a wine cellar.

Terroir takes its name from the wine industry term terroir, which indicates that the natural environment in which a particular wine is produced affects the outcome, and thus the taste, including factors such as soil, topography, and climate. Together these elements determine the character of wine.

A son was born to Troubadour and the Princess who has already grown up, the King became poor, and the Chieftain, along with the bandits, has reformed and retrained into a banker who owns the bank "Byaki-Buki" and lives in a comfortable manner. And although the Chieftain got rich, she still wants more her ultimate desire is power. The Detective collects "compromising evidence" on the King and shows photos to the Chieftain depicting a lonely impoverished crying ruler. She comes to the palace of the King (whom everyone has forgotten) and invites him to marry her, assuring that she will provide him with money. But the King has not yet lost pride and refuses. Then the Chieftain returns to the bank where she has a plan to kidnap the junior Troubadour. For this she calls the Genius Detective, and he goes in search of the young Troubadour.

Troubadour Jr. is studying at the Music Academy and does not know about his origin. The Donkey, the Dog, the Cat, and the Rooster try to teach him "classical music," but Troubadour Jr. dreams of "singing rock'n'roll" (although this criticism is puzzling, because the music that the quartet performs is in fact this). After offending the academicians, he remains alone and begins to dream of adventure. Immediately in front of him appears the Detective and reveals the secret of his origin. Then he suggests to Troubadour Jr. to go to the grandfather King, to which Troubadour Jr. agrees. After meeting with him, the King cheers up and throws a ball in honor of the heir. During the ball, three robbers of the Chieftain, clad in servant costumes, catch Troubadour Jr., after lulling everyone with a tarragon containing sleeping aid. Together with the Detective, they deliver him to the bank and lock him in a safe. In the palace they leave a note from Chieftain: "Either marry me tomorrow or say goodbye to your grandson!". The king immediately raises his entire guard and makes charge against the bank "Byaki-Buki". Together with the guards, the Bremen musicians also go to attack. But when they approach the bank, they are met by the Syllabus, who is an expert on martial arts. After the defeat, the musicians decide to develop a new plan. The Princess comes up with one and everyone agrees with her. The King sends a telegram to the Chieftain with the consent.

The next day a wedding cortege arrives at the palace. From it appears Chieftain in veil, and behind her are the robbers carrying a bag containing the hostage. She is met by the Dog, the Donkey, the Cat and the Rooster who deliver strange verses. And while they distract the Chieftain, the Dog changes bags. Everyone is waiting for the King to show up and suddenly he appears dressed in a dressing gown, slippers and without a wig. He declares that he agrees to marry her, but refuses power and transfers the crown to his grandson. Angered by the fact that her plan fell apart, the Chieftain shouts to the King to leave. Suddenly, Troubadour Jr. appears wearing the crown and mantle and orders the guards to arrest the Robbers, Chieftain and the Detective. The confounded robbers untie the sack from which the Cat jumps out. The door opens and from there comes out a huge knight's armor (on closer inspection it turns out that the Donkey, Dog and Rooster are wearing the armor), threateningly approaching the kidnappers. They, in fear, run away to the jubilation of the crowd. Everyone is happy, and the young Troubadour refuses the crown and receives a guitar as a gift from his father. He finds himself new musician friends: young Donkey, Dog, Cat and Rooster (who all become the animals' apprentices). They leave with Troubadour Jr. for new adventures.

Mars, a world with a culture ages older than that of Earth, is a dying world, and has been in decline for eons. By the twenty-second century it has become a colony of the younger civilization of Earth, its natives oppressed by the rapacious Colonial Authority.

In Yeolarn, a city divided into Terran and Martian sectors, the Terran Ryker is on the lam from the CA and natives alike. He finds himself attracted to the native dancer Valarda, by whom he is enticed into a local slum. They fall afoul of a mob, who treat Valarda as a hated pariah; Ryker helps her elude them, and with the native boy Kiki they join a caravan departing for the northern desert to further shake their pursuers.

Later Valarda and Kiki disappear, along with an antique amulet in Ryker's possession. He trails the thieves to the ruins of Khuu and the Martian "sphinx", an ancient monument in the form of the insect-like Pteraton; Valarda's enemies also follow. The amulet proves the key to the structure, unlocking a time portal into a prehistoric era. Ryker, Valarda and Kiki are hurled into this past together with their hunters and the captive Terran scientist Herzog.

Beyond the portal is Zhiam, the original city whose ruins would one day become Khuu. It is the last refuge of the legendary lost tenth tribe of Mars, Valarda and Kiki's people. Branded devil-worshipping heretics by the nine other nations, it was almost exterminated in the Zhaggua Jihad in ages past. Valarda, the lost tribe's high priestess and last of its rulers, had ventured back into the world to retrieve the key that could betray their hiding place, only to be found out. Now that outsiders have breached the tribe's peaceful retreat, the age-old conflict breaks out anew.

The situation is resolved when the lost tribe's "devil" deity, a benevolent energy being called Zhagguaziu, the Child-of-Stars, intervenes to defeat and expel the intruders. To safeguard its worshippers it seals off the gateway between the prehistoric refuge and modern Mars permanently. It gives its blessing to Ryker and Valarda's mutual passion and instructs them to establish a new dynasty. The implication is that all the modern Martians will be their descendants.

In 1983, deprogrammer Jimmy Levine has been hired by a family to retrieve their estranged teenage son, Justin Powell, from a murderous cult. Levine, along with the boy's father, Andrew Powell, forcibly remove Justin from the cult's clutches during what was staged to look like a kidnapping. The family, consisting of father, Andrew, mother, Kathy, older brother, Campbell, and Justin's former girlfriend, Samantha, along with her and Justin's baby, Zoey, had gathered for an intervention at Andrew’s cabin in the woods. Levine, who has either been in a cult himself or had a family member in a cult, attempts to reach Justin by various confrontational methods with no apparent success as Justin continues to appear brainwashed and insists that his real "family" is coming and will kill them all.

With Justin unmoved by pleas made by his mother and Samantha, frustrations mount as Justin's brother and father clash over the effectiveness of Jimmy's methods and prior family issues resurface, such as why the parents had really separated. While still attempting to deprogram Justin, the family find themselves surrounded by Justin’s cult who silently appear to demand that their captive member be returned to them.

First, “Fox Girl” appears near the cabin and can be seen carving the cult’s symbol into a rock, which prompts Jimmy to confront her. After asking her repeatedly to leave, Jimmy walks into a trap which ties his hands, causing him to drop his gun, and soon after, his stomach slashed while his body is mutilated. A short time later as the family struggles to understand what is happening, more cultists silently appear. Several attempts to kill the family and retrieve Justin follow, with Justin's brother and father defending the family and alternatively arguing as the cultist's attacks increase. They manage to kill or incapacitate those cultists who invade the cabin, while Kathy manages to burn one with scalding oil and Samantha wounds another's hands while he was trying to push through the door.

Justin, bound, remains unfazed at his family's struggles and continues to taunt them, insisting that the cultists will not stop until he is set free to return to them. Jimmy is used as bait and a distraction by the cultists—he is rescued by the Powells but dies shortly afterwards from his injuries. During a botched attempt to get help, Justin's brother Campbell is captured. He is tied onto a swing set on the cabin grounds and his hands are set afire, one after the other, by the Lead Cultist. His mother Kathy, horrified, struggles not to go help Campbell, but then in her grief rushes out to meet the cultists, who easily capture her. Samantha, who had tried to stop Kathy, then focused on trying to convince Justin to communicate with the cultists and stop their threatening the family. Andrew rushes out with a pickaxe in an attempt to fight off the cultists and rescue his wife and son when he is outnumbered, outflanked, and stabbed several times until he collapses. Kathy is horrified, then her throat is slit by Fox Girl. Both parents die looking across from one another on the ground in the dirt at the feet of the cultists, and Campbell seems to succumb to his injuries while still tied to the swing set.

Justin seems at last to show some recovery and asks that Samantha trust him and release him; she does with some trepidation. Justin suggests a desperate escape to Samantha while he meets the cultists. Samantha takes her baby and attempts to escape via a back door to the cabin and makes it to a road in the middle of the night. Justin appears to supplicate himself before the Lead Cultist, kneeling and pressing his head to the Leader's hand. Just as help via a vehicle seems possible, the headlights of the vehicle reveal that a cultist is behind Samantha, possibly Justin.

Starr Carter is a 16-year-old African-American girl who lives in the predominantly black neighborhood of Garden Heights, but attends a predominantly white private school Williamson Prep.

After a gun goes off at a party Starr is attending, Starr is driven home by her childhood best friend, Khalil. While driving home, they are stopped by a police officer for failing to signal at a lane change. The officer barks orders at Khalil, such as to roll down the window and turn off the music. Khalil disagrees with the officer, who instructs him to exit the car.

While outside the car, the officer retrieves Khalil's drivers license and instructs him to keep his hands on the roof while the officer checks his ID. Khalil leans down into the car window to check on Starr, before reaching through the driver-side to pick up a hairbrush. The officer, thinking that Khalil is reaching for a gun, shoots and kills Khalil. As Starr mourns over Khalil, the officer realizes that Khalil was not armed.

Khalil's killing becomes a national news story. Starr's identity as the witness is initially kept secret from everyone outside Starr's family leaving Starr's two best friends, Hailey Grant and Maya Yang, and Starr's boyfriend, Chris, who all attend Williamson Prep together, unaware of Starr's connection to the killing. Having to keep this secret weighs on Starr, as does her need to keep her Williamson and Garden Heights personas separate.

Starr agrees to be interviewed on television and to testify in front of a grand jury after being encouraged by a civil rights lawyer, April Ofrah. While defending Khalil's character during her interview, in which her identity is hidden, she names the King Lords, the gang that controls her neighborhood. The gang retaliates by threatening Starr and her family, forcing them to move in with her Uncle Carlos, her mom's brother, who is a police detective.

Carlos was a father figure to Starr when her father, Maverick, spent three years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Following his release, Maverick left the gang and became the owner of the Garden Heights grocery store where Starr and her half-brother Seven work. Maverick was only allowed to leave the King Lords because his false confession to a crime kept gang leader King from being locked up. King, who is widely feared in the neighborhood, now lives with Seven's mother and Seven's half-sister Kenya, who is friends with Starr, and Kenya's younger sister Lyric.

After a grand jury does not indict the officer, Garden Heights erupts into both peaceful protests and warlike riots. In reaction to the decision, Starr takes an increasingly public role, including speaking out during the protests, which are met by police in riot gear. Her increasing identification with the people of Garden Heights causes tension with Starr's school friends, and especially between her and her boyfriend Chris. Starr and Maya eventually start standing up to Hailey's racist comments breaking up their friendship along with Maya, and Chris remains supportive of Starr.

Starr and Seven get trapped in Maverick's grocery store, which is fire-bombed by King and his gang. The two escape with the help of Maverick and some other Garden Heights business owners. When the police arrive, Starr's younger brother Sekani points a gun at King. Starr defuses the situation. The community stands up against King, who goes to jail. Starr eventually promises to keep Khalil's memory alive, and to continue her advocacy against police violence by "any means necessary."

In Kyiv at the beginning of the 20th century, a frivolous barber named Svyryd Petrovych Holokhvosty (Oleg Borisov) goes bankrupt and is forced to close his shop. Upon learning that a Mr. Sirko (Mykola Yakovenko) is offering a dowry of ten thousand roubles for his unrefined and unattractive daughter, Pronya (Marharyta Krynytsyna), Svyryd decides to pay his debts by marrying her. Svyryd dupes a German creditor of his to finance the courtship. While showing off his new suit to friends in the park on Saint Volodymyr Hill, he sees and briefly flirts with the beautiful Halya (Nataliya Naum) before being chased away by her would be boyfriend, Stepan (Anatoliy Yurchenko).

That evening, Svyryd takes Pronya to the movies on a date and afterwards makes a false confession of love to her. She invites him to her house to propose. Later that night, while drinking with his friends, Svyryd boasts about his successful date with Pronya; and that once he gets the money, he will start an affair with a beauty. Svyryd meets Halya in an alley, falsely confesses his love to her, claims to be a rich suitor, and forces her into an embrace. Halya's mother, Sekleta Lymerykha (Nonna Koperzhynska), happens by and stops it. Sekleta threatens him and makes him swear on the steps of Saint Andrew's Church to marry Halya whose heart actually belongs to Stepan.

The next day, Sekleta, sister to Mrs. Sirko, lets herself into her sister's home where she insults them and is summarily thrown out. Svyryd narrowly misses Sekleta as he arrives to propose and receive the Sirkos' blessing for marriage with Pronya.

Some time later, he runs into Sekleta who forces him to share an open carriage to her house where guests soon arrive to celebrate Sekleta's name day. During the celebration, Svyryd flirts with Sister Meroniya, a pretty nun, and gets her to drink. As the party winds down, Sekleta announces the engagement of Halya and Svyryd. As she happens to be passing by her sister's house, Mrs. Sirko tries to partake in the festivities, but is stopped by Pronya who is embarrassed by such a lowbrow party. Sekleta laments that none of her relatives stopped by to visit on the special occasion which leads Svyryd to realize that Pronya and Halya are cousins! Halya runs from the gathering to her beloved Stepan who informs her that Svyryd is a fraud.

On the wedding day, curious friends of Sekleta discover Pronya is marrying Svyryd. A black cat crosses Svyryd's path on his way to Pronya's door, and he immediately trips and falls into the dirt, soiling and tearing his wedding attire. Sekleta's friends race to inform her before the wedding can take place. Sekleta halts the wedding party on the steps of Saint Andrew's Church and announces to everyone that Svyryd is in fact engaged to Halya. Pronya collapses upon realizing what has happened.

As Svyryd tries to walk away, Sekleta stops him and demands that he now marry Halya; however, creditors and bill collectors suddenly appear with proof that Svyryd is bankrupt who then leaves the scene with his friends.

A teenager with aggressive and violent behavior is forced, after the death of his mother, to spend a few months with his biological father in the forests of Patagonia. His father, whom he has not seen 10 years ago, is a hunter and has another family. In San Martín de los Andes, the place where his father resides, he must confront his own capacity to love and to kill.

Driving intoxicated after a party, Rob (Andrew Gower) hits a cyclist on a mountain road, killing him. Rob's companion Mia Nolan (Andrea Riseborough) helps him throw the body off a cliff into a lake.

Fifteen years later, Mia is married with a nine-year-old son and works as an architect. After she delivers an important presentation, a newly-sober Rob meets her at her hotel. He is going to write an anonymous letter to the victim's wife, after seeing a news article indicating she never moved on, but Mia is afraid the letter will be traced. An argument ensues and Mia breaks Rob's neck, killing him. Out of the window, she notices a self-driving pizza delivery truck hit a pedestrian. Playing pornography in the room as an alibi, she disposes of Rob's body.

The pedestrian is visited by Shazia (Kiran Sonia Sawar), an insurance investigator who uses a "Recaller" to view his memories, as best as he can picture them, on a screen. She finds a woman he passed on the street before the incident, who directs her to a dentist, who saw Mia looking at the accident from her hotel room. In each case Shazia makes them smell beer from the nearby brewery and replays a song that played in a passing car to strengthen their memories. Hoping to get bonus pay from a quick investigation, Shazia makes a lengthy drive to meet Mia.

A tense Mia only allows Shazia in when told that refusal will be reported to the police. Mia tries to divert her memory away from the accident but fails, and Shazia sees memories of both of her killings. Shazia tries to leave but her car does not start and Mia smashes the window, knocks her out and ties her up in a shed.

Mia disbelieves Shazia's promise to keep the information secret, and uses the Recaller to learn that she told her husband Anan (Anthony Welsh) who she was visiting. Mia kills Shazia, drives to her house and, masked, kills Anan as he bathes. As Mia exits, having removed her mask, she sees the couple's baby son babbling in front of her and kills him so as not to leave a witness. However, the baby was born blind.

Police use the Recaller on the baby's pet guinea pig, which had observed the final murder. Officers then quietly arrive at the ending of Mia's son's school production of ''Bugsy Malone'', where she is in the audience.

Single mother Marie Sambrell (Rosemarie DeWitt) gives birth to her daughter Sara and raises her with help from her father, Russ (Nicholas Campbell). Three-year-old Sara (Aniya Hodge) gets lost following a cat and a distressed Marie has to enlist help from neighbours to locate her. Afterwards, Marie signs her up to a trial of Arkangel, a child monitoring system installed via an implant. Marie can monitor Sara's vision and hearing with a tablet computer, along with viewing live medical data and past audiovisual feeds. A filter can censor stimuli when they cause Sara stress, such as an intimidating neighbourhood dog. Shortly after, Russ survives a stroke, because Marie is notified when witness Sara experiences stress.

Six years later, Russ has died. A classmate—Trick (Nicky Torchia)—tries to show Sara (Sarah Abbott) sexual and violent imagery but the filter blurs it. Sara draws blood from her finger, trying to learn what it looks like, so Marie has her assessed by a psychologist who recommends that she dispose of Arkangel, which is soon to be banned. Marie deactivates the filter and stores the tablet in the attic. An anxious Sara goes to school unsupervised and Trick shows her pornography and gore videos.

Aged fifteen, Sara (Brenna Harding) lies to her mother about going to a friend's house to attend a party with Trick (Owen Teague). Marie discovers the lie and after failing to contact her, turns on Arkangel. She sees Sara having sex for the first time, with Trick. Marie starts to use the tablet again and soon sees Sara snorting cocaine that Trick—who deals drugs—gives her.

Identifying Trick with a reverse image search, Marie confronts him at work and blackmails him to stay away from Sara. After receiving an Arkangel notification, Marie sneaks an emergency contraceptive pill into Sara's smoothie. She later vomits and is told by a nurse that the pill caused it. Sara confronts Marie and forces the tablet away from her. The stress filter is accidentally reactivated. Unable to see the damage she is causing, Sara beats Marie unconscious with the tablet, breaking it.

The filter deactivates and Sara runs away. When Marie regains consciousness, she frantically yells for Sara down the street. A hitch-hiking Sara gets into a truck.

Frank (Joe Cole) and Amy (Georgina Campbell) use a circular device called "Coach" that matches them with partners for fixed periods of time. They are matched together for 12 hours. Despite initial nerves, they quickly get on and regret not having sex as they part. Coach (voice of Gina Bramhill) tells them the system monitors each relationship to assign them a lifelong partner on "pairing day", with a success rate of 99.8%.

Frank's next match Nicola (Gwyneth Keyworth) immediately disdains him, but they are paired for a year. Meanwhile, Amy finds her nine-month match Lenny (George Blagden) attractive. Amy and Frank meet again, at an event where a couple talk about their successful pairing. Amy begins to find Lenny's mannerisms tiresome, particularly his heavy exhalations. After the relationship ends, she is repeatedly matched with people for 36 hours; having sex with each match, she begins to dissociate over the matches' pointlessness.

After Frank's match ends, he and Amy are matched again and they agree not to check the time length, to avoid preconceptions. They enjoy having sex for the first time and talk about how the system might work. One night, Frank checks the expiry date. It initially says five years but recalibrates, as Frank's betrayal of their agreement has destabilised it, until it reads 20 hours. Frank is distracted the next day as Amy notices every pebble she skips hits the water four times; he admits what has happened with an hour remaining. She is furious and he is heartbroken.

They continue matches to no avail. The evening before Amy's pairing day, she chooses Frank for her one permitted farewell session before skipping Coach across a swimming pool. At dinner with Frank, whose pairing day is also tomorrow, she encourages him to leave with her. Recognising that neither of them have memories prior to the system, she thinks the world is a test and they must rebel. A man with a taser approaches; Amy touches the taser and it stops working, and the people in the restaurant freeze. Frank and Amy run and scale a wall that separates the outside world. The world is a simulated reality, one of 1000, and one of 998 in which Frank and Amy rebelled. In the real world, Amy's dating application says Frank is a 99.8% match and they make eye contact for the first time across a bar, as "Panic" by the Smiths plays.

Captain Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons) and his crew are aboard a spaceship, the USS ''Callister'', trying to defeat their arch enemy Valdack (Billy Magnussen). They destroy Valdack's ship, but he escapes. The crew celebrates, Daly kissing both female crewmates.

The real-life version of Daly is CTO at Callister Inc. The company was co-founded by Daly and James Walton (Jimmi Simpson), the company's chief executive officer, which produces the multiplayer game ''Infinity'', in which users control a starship in a simulated reality. Daly is treated poorly by his fellow employees, who appear identical to Captain Daly's crewmates. New programmer Nanette Cole (Cristin Milioti) praises Daly's work on ''Infinity'', but the more assertive Walton interrupts to take her on a tour. When Daly returns home, he opens a development build of ''Infinity'' which is modded to resemble his favourite television show ''Space Fleet''. As Captain Daly, he berates the crewmates, strangling a subservient Walton.

After employee Shania Lowry (Michaela Coel) warns Cole to beware of Daly, he takes a disposed coffee cup of Cole's and uses her DNA to replicate her consciousness within his development build. Cole awakens aboard the USS ''Callister'', confused and distraught. Lowry explains that they are digital clones of Callister Inc. staff members. Cole attempts to escape the ship but is teleported back to the bridge. She refuses to obey Daly's commands, so he removes her facial features, suffocating her, until she relents.

The crew embark on a mission in which they apprehend Valdack, but spare his life. After Daly leaves, Cole finds a way to send a game invite containing a message for help to the real-world Cole. The real-world Cole asks the real-world Daly about the message, and he dismisses it as spam. Daly enters the game to interrogate his crew and transforms Lowry into a monster when she defends Cole. Once he departs, Cole identifies a distant wormhole as an uplink to ''Infinity'' s next update; she surmises that by flying into the wormhole, the firewall will delete them and they will die. Walton is very hesitant to help; he explains that Daly has previously recreated his son Tommy within the game, throwing him out of an airlock to punish Walton. Cole promises they will recover the lollipop containing Tommy's DNA.

When Daly returns, Cole convinces him to take her on a mission to Skillane IV alone. She strips to her underwear and runs into nearby water; Daly reluctantly joins her, leaving behind the omnicorder which allows him to control the game. The crew teleports the omnicorder onto their ship, and uses it to access sexually explicit images of Cole on her PhotoCloud account. They use those photos to blackmail the real-life Cole into ordering a pizza to Daly's apartment and stealing the DNA samples while he answers the door. They then teleport Cole onto the ship.

As Daly resumes play, he discovers the crew are escaping. He commandeers a crashed spaceship to pursue them through an asteroid belt. The ''Callister'' collides with an asteroid; Walton repairs the thrusters manually, incinerating himself, and the ship accelerates into the wormhole. The firewall detects Daly's modded build and locks his controls, rendering him physically unable to exit the game as it is destroyed around him. In the real world, Daly is sitting motionless.

The crew reawakens in the un-modded version of ''Infinity'' with Valdack and Lowry, restored to human form. Now free, they continue their adventure, with Cole leading them, after interacting with an annoyed user "Gamer691" (Aaron Paul).

In a desolate landscape, Bella (Maxine Peake), Anthony (Clint Dyer), and Clarke (Jake Davies) drive to a warehouse searching for something to help ease the pain of Jack, who is dying. While Clarke hot-wires a van, Bella and Anthony break into the warehouse. They find the box they are looking for, but behind it is a four-legged robotic guard—a "dog". The dog sprays Bella and Anthony with shrapnel that contains trackers, then climbs down and shoots Anthony dead. Bella flees without the box to her car, with Clarke following in the van. The dog jumps into the van, kills Clarke and pursues Bella. It eventually enters her car, but she sends the car off a cliff and escapes.

Bella uses pliers to extract the tracker embedded in her leg. Over her walkie-talkie, she asks someone to pass a message to her loved ones in case she is killed. Bella is chased by the dog into a forest, climbing a nearby tree. The dog's forelimb was damaged in the car wreck, so it cannot climb the tree, and instead powers down and waits. Bella drains it of power by repeatedly throwing sweets at it, causing it to power up and down. When the dog no longer responds, Bella climbs down. She finds a compound and breaks in.

Bella takes car keys and a shotgun from two rotting corpses in the bedroom. When the sun rises, the dog recharges and gains access to the compound. As the dog approaches, Bella leaps out and throws paint over its visual sensor, then throws the paint can to the corner of the room to distract it and hurries to the car. However, the car will not start, so she turns on the radio and hides. As the dog investigates the noise, Bella shoots it. The dog stabs her in the leg; she shoots it again and it falls to the ground. The dog releases an air-burst shell, showering Bella with tracker-embedded shrapnel.

In the bathroom mirror, Bella sees many trackers in her face. She lifts a knife, but notices a tracker in her jugular vein. Bella speaks into her walkie-talkie, unsure if she can be heard, saying goodbye to her loved ones. As she puts the knife to her throat, the camera pans out over the landscape, showing dogs approaching and investigating. In the warehouse, the box's contents—dozens of teddy bears—have spilled onto the floor.

Nish (Letitia Wright) visits the remote Black Museum at a filling station. The proprietor, Rolo Haynes (Douglas Hodge), explains backstories to the museum's crime-related artefacts, starting with a hairnet device.

Rolo previously recruited people for experimental medical technology. In a flashback, Dr. Peter Dawson (Daniel Lapaine) agreed to test an implant that made him feel the physical sensations of the person wearing the hairnet. He learned the feeling of many conditions and was able to diagnose patients quickly. After experiencing a man dying, he became aroused by his patient's pain. Addicted to it, he started self-injuring and later murdered a homeless man, which caused him to fall into a coma.

In the present, the air conditioner broken, Nish offers Rolo water. Moving on to a toy monkey, Rolo describes how he convinced Jack (Aldis Hodge) to transfer his comatose wife Carrie's (Alexandra Roach) consciousness into part of his brain, so she could experience his physical sensations and communicate with him. Jack and Carrie became aggravated by their lack of privacy and agency, respectively. Rolo offered Jack an ability to "pause" Carrie. Months later, Jack unpaused her, and they eventually agreed for her to be unpaused on weekends only. Jack began dating Emily (Yasha Jackson), who wanted Carrie to be deleted. Rolo transferred Carrie to the toy monkey, which could feel sensations and say two phrases. Carrie and Jack's son Parker was soon bored by it. The monkey technology became illegal, so Rolo was fired.

The museum's centerpiece is a holographic Clayton Leigh (Babs Olusanmokun). Rolo insists he was guilty of murder but Nish reminds him of conflicting evidence. While on death row, Clayton signed up to Rolo's exhibit: when a visitor pulls a lever, a conscious hologram of Clayton receives the electric chair, and a souvenir copy of him experiencing electrocution is made. The exhibit was immensely popular. As Rolo begins to asphyxiate, Nish continues the story, revealing herself as Clayton's daughter. After public protests, attendance to the exhibit dwindled to sadists and wealthy white supremacists, who left Clayton's hologram in a vegetative state. His wife and Nish's mother Angelica (Amanda Warren) overdosed the day after she saw him. As revenge, Nish sabotaged the air conditioner and gave Rolo poisoned water. Nish transfers Rolo's consciousness into Clayton's hologram, then electrocutes it, which creates a souvenir of Rolo's suffering.

Nish takes Carrie with her and sets the museum on fire. She converses with her mother, whose consciousness is inside her head, like Carrie's was with Jack.

''Pathfinder: Kingmaker'' is based on the six modules that make up the Pathfinder Adventure Path campaign published in 2010.

Setting

It is set within the ''Stolen Lands'', part of the greater region of the ''River Kingdoms'' south of ''Brevoy'', which is in turn part of ''Golarion'', the default setting of ''Pathfinder''. It features the player carving their own realm out among the wilderness as a local lord, and expands upon the corresponding ''Kingmaker'' tabletop module.

The Stolen Lands are split into a number of regions which can slowly get added to the player's barony as the plot progresses. Among the regions include the swampy ''Narlmarches'' in the center, the town of ''Varnhold'' to the east and the city of ''Pitax'' to the west. Places from the Pathfinder universe that can play a part in the storyline include the rival Brevic cities of ''Restov'' & ''New Stetven'' to the north, the revolutionary country of ''Galt'' far south, and ''Numeria'' & the ''River Kingdoms'' to the west.

Non-Player Characters

Throughout the game, the player will encounter & may recruit various characters into their party and as advisors for their growing kingdom. Characters who can potentially join the main character include the affable writer Linzi, brusque barbarian Amiri, ex-paladin Valerie, nihilistic cleric Harrim, undead elf Jaethal, soft-spoken priest Tristian, phase-shifting twin sisters Kallike & Kanerah, escaped slaves Octavia and Regongar, famous author Jubilost, severe woodsman Ekundayo, and delusional goblin Nok-Nok.

Story

The player character is made a Baron/Baroness in the Stolen Lands by Jamandi Aldori, a Restovian noble, in exchange for killing a bandit lord. The Baron/ess must deal with multiple threats to the kingdom including unusual trolls, an epidemic of people turning into beasts, and an ancient lich. They also expand their barony's territory and influence.

After the Baron/ess helps Restov fight off a barbarian attack, Jamandi Aldori starts an independence war for Rostland, her region of Brevoy. The player may choose to help Aldori, side with the ruling Brevic government, negotiate a peaceful solution, or stay uninvolved. After resolving this issue, the Baron/Baroness rises to become an independent King/Queen. The newly-crowned King/Queen must deal with more issues, primarily the meddling of neighboring king Irovetti of Pitax, the last remaining significant power in the Stolen Lands. The King/Queen eventually defeats Irovetti and annexes Pitax, becoming the only monarch in the Stolen Lands.

The Baron/ess eventually discovers that all of the threats were orchestrated by a nymph named Nyrissa, who also tried to manipulate them. Nyrissa attempted to become one of the Eldest, the immortal rulers of the fey realm called the "First World". This failed and angered one of the Eldest, the Lantern King. The Lantern King removed a portion of Nyrissa's soul and commanded Nyrissa to destroy 100 kingdoms, each becoming a grain of dust in a cup called "the Apology" in order to reclaim it. During all of this, the King/Queen learns more about Nyrissa's curse, including that she only has two kingdoms left to fill the Apology with. It is also revealed that the Lantern King had removed the ability to love from Nyrissa's soul, imbuing it in a wooden stick called the Briar. The Briar is found among Irovetti's possessions.

With only one kingdom left in the Stolen Lands, Nyrissa engages in all-out war. Endless First World forces attack the kingdom. The King/Queen travels to the far west, where they find a portal to Nyrissa's home in the First World. The player is separated from their various companions and must find them. Nyrissa isolates & attempts to manipulate the companions. Depending on how each companion was treated throughout the game, they will either survive and rejoin the player, or fall to Nyrissa and die.

The King/Queen and their surviving party locate Nyrissa in the chamber where she keeps the Apology. After defeating Nyrissa, the final grain falls into the Apology, since Nyrissa's "kingdom" is now ended. The player may choose to let Nyrissa take the apology to the Lantern King, kill her, or convince her to give up the apology and join the player in fighting the Lantern King. If she is allowed to finish the Apology, the kingdom is no longer troubled by the First World and the game ends.

If Nyrissa is killed, the Lantern King appears and reveals that he was helping the King/Queen in various guises throughout the story. Angered that his "game" has been spoiled by the player, the Lantern King transports the player's kingdom into the First World. The kingdom is attacked by spirits from the various kingdoms that were in the Apology. The Lantern King also curses the player, tying the player's fate to that of their kingdom.

The King/Queen launches an assault to retake their capital city alongside various allies. They find pieces of the Apology, which are destroyed to weaken the Lantern King. They battle the Lantern King in the kingdom's throne room. The Lantern King is killed, but instantly returns to life since he is an Eldest. Impressed by the defeat, the Lantern King offers the King/Queen a deal. They may become the Lantern King's herald, gaining immortality and restoring the kingdom to normal. Alternatively, they may simply say that they & the Lantern King should leave each other alone, to which the Eldest agrees but laments the end of his "performance".

There is an alternative ending that depends on specific actions throughout the game, including researching curses extensively and persuading Nyrissa to ally with the King/Queen against the Lantern King. After defeating the Lantern King, Nyrissa & the King/Queen use a mask imbued with a fragment of his power to bounce his own curses back at him, permanently killing him. The kingdom grows prosperous, with humans & fey living in peace as the kingdom straddles Golarion and & the First World.

''Varnhold's Lot''

In the same ceremony that the player is named Baron/ess of the Shrike Hills, the mercenary leader Maeger Varn is made Baron of some land to the east, which he names ''Varnhold''. Varn argues with his group's co-founder Cephal Lorentus about how to handle Restov politically.

The player takes the role of the General, leading Maeger's troops. Accompanied by Varn, Lorentus and several other mercenaries, they must deal with various problems around Varnhold. These include centaur attacks, missing travellers, and a political agitator from the south. The centaurs warn the General that an ancient evil from the cyclops empire slumbers under the land and must not be disturbed.

The General reaches a village which is in civil war between a death cult and worshippers of other gods. After resolving the conflict, the cultists' leader informs them of a great "master" which has awoken. The master's tomb is the same evil which the centaurs have sworn to watch against.

The party travels to the tomb and opens it, possibly with the aid of the centaurs and/or the cultists. The tomb is filled with countless illusions. Maeger is tricked into jumping into a portal by a vision of Varnhold in danger. The party realises that the tomb is actually a fortress sunk into the ground. The General gets separated from Cephal, who runs off to find help. In the deepest part of the tomb, the General and their remaining companions find a portal to the First World. On the other side, the party encounters a powerful will-o-wisp that had been antagonising them throughout the tomb.

Upon the will-o-wisp's defeat, the Horned Hunter (who is really the Lantern King, although the General does not learn this) appears and explains the situation to the General. Varnhold is not in danger, the ancient evil does exist but in a different location, and the events of the DLC were all part of a long joke by the Hunter. The Hunter offers a "gift" to the General, which varies depending on the player's choices throughout the game: The General either ends up turned into a mimic to eat other adventurers, forced to defend the tomb from an endless army of First World monsters, or to roam the First World after being stranded. Regardless of the General's fate, the Horned Hunter kills the other mercenaries present. Varn and Lorentus survive to take part in the events of the main story.

''Beneath the Stolen Lands''

At some point in the main campaign, the Baron/Baroness/King/Queen has dreams pointing to an ancient evil lurking underground in a massive dungeon called the Tenebrous Depths. Upon reaching the area, the party encounters a dragon called Xelliren. The dragon explains that he sent the dreams, and that the bottom of the dungeon hosts a Spawn of Rovagug, an ancient creature that can lay waste to entire continents if allowed to escape.

As the party descends through the floors of the dungeon, they come across past adventurers who have been driven insane by the Spawn's influence and that now act as mini-bosses for the dungeon – The Wary Traveller, the Fallen Priestess, the Wicked Chanter, and the Captor & the Captive. Once all four have been defeated, the party enters a portal that takes them to the Spawn's nest. Upon defeating the Spawn, the party returns to the surface where Xelliren congratulates them but note that the pattern will likely repeat in several thousand years. Nonetheless, Xelliren notes that the player doesn't have to worry about it.

Alternatively, the player can come across artifacts & clues from the fallen adventurers written while they were yet to succumb to the Spawn's influence, specifically blaming Xelliren for luring them to the dungeon. With enough clues, the Baron can make Xelliren understand the truth: That the dragon had been unintentionally working for the Spawn. Shocked by the revelation, Xelliren disappears and reappears during the party's fight with the Spawn, attempting to attack it but ending up mind-controlled instead. After the party defeats the Spawn, Xelliren congratulates the player, stating that the Spawn is no longer a threat.

The screenplay was adapted primarily from ''The Amazing Spider-Man #15'', with various scenes added to update the story concerning Kraven's first arrival in America.

Spider-Man swings down and catches a group organizing a bank robbery and upon dropping in unexpectedly, a man escapes and contacts Kraven the Hunter. Parker finds this out firsthand when taking photographs for The Daily Bugle when Kraven arrives by boat. After studying Spider-Man's fighting style by organizing a robbery for Spider-Man to stop, Kraven finally comes out of hiding and fights Spider-Man. Spider-Man realizes the true strength of Kraven and also realizes that Kraven cheats by infecting his opposition with drugs that weaken them.

Mars, a world with a culture ages older than that of Earth, is a dying world, and has been in decline for eons. By the twenty-second century it has become a colony of the younger civilization of Earth, its natives oppressed by the rapacious Colonial Authority.

In a ruined city, Terran outlaw and prospector Jim Brant discovers two native women who have been staked out and left to die for the offense of loving each other. He frees the couple, named Zuarra and Suoli. Their affection has not survived the experience, as Suoli betrayed cowardice when left to their fate, in contrast to the stoic Zuarra.

The ill-sorted trio soon encounters other wanderers in the waste, Terran archeologist Will Harbin and his native guide Agila, a strong figure to whom the dependent Suoli soon attaches herself. This brings new complications, as Agila is a fugitive from the bandit chief Tuan, from whom he stole an ancient disc engraved with a treasure map.

The combined party follows the map to a cave containing a stairwell descending into unknown depths. Exploring to see where it leads, they discover a huge cavern containing an underground sea. They have been trailed, however, by Tuan's bandits, who capture them and propose to burn Agila alive. The operation is interrupted by children riding giant dragonflies, which carry everyone away to their base, the floating raft-city of Zhar.

The Zharians are a nation of innocents, primitive but possessed of strong psychic powers. Agila and Suoli, taking advantage of their hosts' seeming weakness, attempt to rob the sea people's prince Azuri, whom they end up killing. Shocked and offended, the remaining Zharians demonstrate their power by psychically suffocating the two and compelling the rest of the outsiders to reconcile and return to the surface.

Back in the Martian wastes, Brant's party and Tuan's bandits all part ways. Brant and Zuarra, now an item, intend to wed.

A lesbian and a straight man fall into a quasi-romance.

In rural 1930s Quebec, Alice lives in house with older brother, known only as Frère, and their father Mr. Soissons, a recluse who is feared and hated in the village. Armed with rifles, Soissons and Frère forbid anyone from entering their property. Soissons has raised Alice as a boy, cutting her hair short and breast binding her, and tells her she is a boy whose penis fell off when she was small. Soissons also tells his children he created them out of clay. As Alice has doubts as to these stories, Frère finds her outside of the house reading a book, the memoirs of the Duc de Saint-Simon, that Soissons has banned. Frère rapes her. Later, Alice finds Soissons in the shed, where he is feeding pieces of food to a mysterious person in chains; Soissons describes this as a "just punishment," the figure being known as Juste. At night, Mr. Soissons enters his children's bedroom and inspects Alice, discovering she is pregnant. He begins beating Frère, whom he realizes has impregnated her, though neither of his children understand this.

Soissons commits suicide by hanging; Frère and Alice discover the nude body. They decide the body must be buried, but Alice declares they need a coffin and takes Mr. Soissons' horse to the village, where she has never been before. As she rides the horse, she feels sexually stimulated, until she comes across a church in congregation. Drawn in by the music, she leads her horse into the building, where the attendees and priest react with shock and anger. They drag her out, and force her to reveal that Mr. Soissons is dead, and that he had two "sons", one of whom is her. When she bites the priest's hand, he angrily orders her taken away. Several men take her to a barn and tie her to a pole. One of the churchgoers, a young man named Paul-Marie, then enters and unties her, tells her she is female, and notices she is pregnant. Paul-Marie tells her the villagers will come to the house since they know Mr. Soissons is dead, and that Alice will likely be confined to an orphanage or convent.

Alice returns to the house to warn Frère that the villagers will come, believing they are evil, and finds Frère trying to dismember their father's body to bury it. Frère picks up a rifle and declares himself the new master of the domain; Alice tells him to feel her belly, as she has experienced quickening. She then goes to the shed, where she frees Juste, a scarred and mute woman. Alice tells Juste she has learned where life comes from. Paul-Marie arrives to warn Alice and Frère that the priest, coroner, pathologist and armed police are marching to the property. Frère chases Paul-Marie off the land with his rifle, but Alice climbs onto Paul-Marie's motorcycle as they attempt to escape. Frère fires his weapon, killing Paul-Marie and causing the motorcycle to crash.

The villagers capture and restrain Frère while Alice stands over Juste with an ax. Alice gathers her belongings and goes back into the house, where she finds a charred corpse she refers to as Mama. As Alice's water breaks, she flashes back to a little girl playing with a sparkler as a girl, in the presence of her mother. When the sparkler runs out, the first girl's young sister picked up matches and lit one, accidentally igniting the dress of the first girl. The mother attempted to save the girl, but also caught fire. The father rushed in and attempted to put out the fire on his daughter, leaving his wife to burn. In the present, Alice lights matches again and proceeds to burn the house down. In labour, she wanders into the forest, where she gives birth and clutches her child.

Ski instructor Johnny is carrying on a romance with Samantha, a married woman who also serves as the hostess at a ski lodge. Samantha coaxes Jack into giving skiing lessons to the Stones, a rich family whose patriarch is the head of a mysterious company planning to take over the resort.

In a world recently overtaken by a virus that turns people rabid within 48 hours, Andy Rose, his wife Kay, and their baby Rosie are traveling down a river on a houseboat in rural Australia. Short on food, Kay suggests going ashore and scavenging, but Andy rejects this, arguing it would be safer to remain on the river until they reach their destination, a supposed refuge. The next day, Andy searches an abandoned sailboat and retrieves some supplies, but when Kay ventures out to collect more, she is bitten by a rabid human.

Andy finds Kay trying to bandage the bite wound and insists on taking her to a hospital since she would bleed out long before succumbing to the virus. The Rose family disembarks, restarts an abandoned car, and sets out toward what their map indicates is a large town, but they swerve to avoid an Aboriginal man standing in the road and crash. Kay is impaled and Andy faints. By the time he wakes, Kay has already turned and bites him. Andy removes Rosie from the car and prepares to defend himself against the man, who is also turned, but a girl named Thoomi appears and reveals that the man is her father, Willie Bell. Thoomi has been hiding Willie from her mother, Josie, and the rest of her community because the Aboriginals are systematically burning the infected. She believes her father can be cured by having a shaman restore his soul.

Andy reaches the town, but it is much smaller than expected and deserted apart from Etta, a schoolteacher who takes care of him and Rosie for the night. Etta explains that all of her students and their families, most of them Aboriginals, have discarded modern trappings and gone back to the old ways; she warns Andy to hide his bite mark. Andy wakes later than planned the next morning after experiencing his first seizure from the virus. When Andy and Rosie leave, Etta shows them a picture of Thoomi and her parents and tells Andy to find them and leave Rosie in their care.

Andy assists a man named Vic, owner of a fortified shelter, and meets Vic's apparent wife, Lorraine. Andy learns that Vic uses healthy humans in cages as bait, one of whom is Thoomi, to lure out the infected so he can shoot them. That night, Andy attempts suicide, believing Rosie will be cared for by Vic and Lorraine, but Lorraine stops him and reveals that she is not Vic's wife, but his captive, and Vic murdered her real husband. Vic discovers them and knocks Andy out, and he awakens in the same cage as Thoomi. They help each other escape by using the combined strength of many infected to pull open their cage. As they escape the shelter with Lorraine and Rosie in tow, an enraged Vic shoots at them, inadvertently killing Lorraine.

The following morning, Andy upsets Thoomi when he tells her that he and her father will not get better. She runs to where she had been hiding her father, but finds her people had already discovered Willie and put him down. Initially distraught and blaming Andy for delaying her, Thoomi relents and rejoins him when she hears Rosie crying. They travel by motorboat to a campsite where Andy previously saw another family, but learn that the father has been bitten and plans to kill his family and himself with a revolver. The father tells Andy to use the gun's last two bullets on himself and Rosie. When the family is dead, Andy takes up the gun and considers suicide, but is stopped by Thoomi. They then notice smoke nearby and move to investigate.

As the trio passes through a railway tunnel, they re-encounter Vic. Thoomi hides with Rosie while Andy and Vic fight. Vic manages to grab the revolver during the struggle and shoots Andy, then goes after Thoomi and Rosie. When Andy recovers, he finds Vic cradling Rosie and weeping over the loss of Lorraine. Vic peacefully returns Rosie to Andy and allows them and Thoomi to leave.

Later, Andy enters the final throes of infection. With his time almost gone, Andy asks Thoomi to look after Rosie. He and Thoomi prepare for his turning by binding his hands and preparing a piece of meat on a stick, which Thoomi uses to bait him once he has turned. In this manner, Thoomi uses Andy to carry her and Rosie safely on his back. They eventually catch up to a party of Aboriginal warriors and Thoomi is reunited with Josie. Thoomi uses Kay's perfume to bring Andy back to his senses just long enough to see that Rosie is safe, and a warrior puts Andy out of his misery. The group then returns to a large community of survivors deep in the wilderness. As Thoomi and Josie check Rosie for injuries, they find Andy had painted the words "Thank You" on her stomach. A tree in the community is decorated with items that belonged to Thoomi and Andy.

A Tower is featured in the background.

In the Characters' Past

As Henry and Cinderella take off into the forest, the two are met by thieves who want the motorcycle, but suddenly Regina appears and ready to help, only to have Henry telling her that he and Cinderella are handling them fine. Later on, Regina takes a stroll in the woods when she sees a hooded figure attacked by sentient vines. She saves her, only to discover that the hooded figure is Drizella, who is on a mission to steal magic. Regina starts training Drizella but after a series of failures, Drizella's talents finally come through when she rescues Regina from a falling tower by smashing the concrete in mid-air using magic.

Rumpelstiltskin appears suddenly, and catches up with Regina, telling him of the wonderful life with Belle. He reminds Regina that, just as the Regina's mother Cora was practically omniscient, so too must be Lady Tremaine. Heeding those words, Regina eavesdrops on Tremaine through a magic mirror and discovers that she plans to take Drizella's heart and place it in Anastasia after failing to get Henry's heart, leading Regina to suspect that Drizella plans to kill her mother. Drizella wants Regina to help her but Regina refuses, not wanting her to embrace darkness. When Prince Gregor shows up ready to kill Tremaine, Regina appears and attempts to intervene. It turns out that it was a double-cross set up by Drizella, to lure Gregor into a trap. Drizella uses magic to impale Gregor with black vines, and as a result her heart turns dark, successfully making her heart unsuitable for Tremaine's plan. She tells Regina she will cast a dark curse just like Regina had, to cause her mother pain, only this time, the curse will be unbreakable.

Later on, Regina and Henry spend time together to bond and patch over differences, with Regina saying to him that being his mother will always be her primary role.

In Seattle

At Roni's, the photo of Henry and Regina becomes the subject of speculation. Lucy runs into the bar to see the photo, and as she looks at it, she identifies Roni as Regina, Henry's mother. She vows to find a way to prove it. Roni contacts Weaver to get information about the adoption in return for a favor. Weaver comes through and gives Roni papers containing information, and Roni, by writing on a bar napkin, discovers that the handwritten signature at the bottom matches her own handwriting.

However, Ivy and the witch already have been planning to use Roni by way of the photo, utilizing the lavender flowers from the garden to create a potion (earlier on, Victoria is learning that the flower is giving her headaches). Ivy later visits Roni to have a talk about the photo and the adoption, but as they are about to have a drink, Ivy slips the potion made by the witch into Roni's drink, and as Roni drinks, she "wakes up" and her real memories of being Regina are returned. Drizella informs Regina that it was her tutelage that gave her the ability to cast the new curse, and therefore it will be difficult to break because if Henry and Jacinda experience true love's kiss everyone will be in jeopardy, reminding her of a special contingency that was put into the curse that would hurt Henry if she didn't comply. Regina cries in her bar, then goes to meet Henry at the park. When she asks him what he remembers about his mother, he reveals that he was born in prison to an unknown mother and grew up in the system (as these are his cursed memories). She yearns to tell him who she really is, but refrains from doing so.

In between the events, Jacinda is upset with Henry about Instagram photos from Halloween night that were schemingly posted by Ivy. But after being encouraged by Roni to pursue Jacinda, Henry shows up at the food truck with a large radio and convince Jacinda to forgive him, and to ask her out on a date, and offered to help her start the engine on the vehicle.

Meanwhile, as Weaver checks out of the hospital, Rogers suspects Tilly and Weaver are holding something back after he talked to Tilly, who then told Rogers about Eloise, explaining in riddles that the information from the sketch book is somehow closer than he thought. However, someone else has already beaten Rogers to the punch; the suspect with the tattooed hand is found murdered at his home.

The beginning (Live-action scene)

A priest has difficulty starting his car. He makes the sign of the cross in an attempt to fix the car; when this doesn't work, he kicks it and it starts running. Later, his car breaks down near a forest, where he encounters a teenage witch girl calling herself Rumpelstilzchen. His car's registration plates have the letters ''PAF'', indicating that it is registered in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm district, lying between Munich and Ingolstadt.

Soccer match in the market (Animated scene)

On a very early morning, Werner throws down a football from his attic flat, inadvertently launching a soccer match between the fictitious clubs ''1. FC Süderbrarup'' and ''Holzbein Kiel'' (literally meaning ''wooden leg'' and parodying the soccer club Holstein Kiel) on the market area. The match results in chaos as the market visitors and stall vendors play the role of the involuntary kickers, with the policemen Helmut and Bruno as the involuntary referees. Two vendors' stalls serve as the goals and wind up completely destroyed in the end. The "players" get more and more enraged. Bruno the policeman climbs up a street lantern to escape an angry chicken vendor, whose chickens have been scared away. In the end, the football lands in a frying pan with sausages where it inflates until it explodes.

The Grim King (Live-action scene)

The scene switches to a cinema where a Grim King encounters the creator Brösel to talk about the movie clip which was shown to him. The narrator explains that the Grim King has cramps in his laughing muscles, making him unable to laugh. Although his subjects laughed heartily at the film, they fear the King's wrath and testify that it was bad and not funny at all. Brösel is sentenced to death by beheading unless he succeeds in making the Grim King laugh within three days. Until then, he is thrown into a dungeon. After trying and failing to create some funny cartoon ideas, Brösel breaks his pencil in frustration and throws it away. Suddenly, the witch girl appears. She grants him a magic pen under the condition that he will fulfill her one special wish once he gets out. She promises that the Grim King will "piss himself from laughing".

Plumber trainee - Part I (Animated scene)

Werner works as a plumber trainee together with the journeyman Eckat in the company of the clumsy Master Röhrich. They get an order to repair a radiator for Mrs. Hansen, who easily gets in rage. Upon arrival her neighbour, Mrs. Gloer, reminds them to wipe their shoes as she has just cleaned the floor. Werner, who is made to carry a sink basin and heavy armature, ignores her. She yells at him and trips him up with her mop; the basin shatters on the floor and Werner is forced to clean it up. Before starting work, Mrs. Hansen serves Röhrich several glasses of liquor. In his tipsy efforts at repairs, Röhrich causes a flood that spreads through Mrs. Hansen's flat and down the stairs. He sends Werner to the heating basement to cut the water off, but the basement is locked. Werner asks the dim-witted neighbour, Mr. Biernot, for the key. Mrs. Gloer scolds him once again about the dirty floor, but she also asks Röhrich to unclog her toilet. His left hand gets stuck in the pipes, and as he struggles with his free hand, he unintentionally pulls the flush chain. The apartment floods with sewage, and Röhrich gets the toilet bowl stuck on his head. In his confusion, Röhrich repeatedly runs upstairs and stumbles out a window; a crowd gathers to watch, and Werner plays commentator while Eckat charges the onlookers to watch Röhrich's mishaps.

Visit of Gerd Geldhai (Live-action scene)

Brösel fails making the Grim King laugh and is beheaded as punishment. Suddenly waking in his modern-day home, he realizes that it was just a bad dream. Back to reality, he is visited by his boss Gerd Geldhai (literally ''money shark'') and his lackey Schulz. Geldhai forcefully reminds Brösel that he has only four weeks left until the Werner movie has its scheduled premiere. Brösel carelessly asks them to cancel the contract. Geldhai warns Brösel that this would mean he would have to refund him every sum he has invested into the movie project and that he will lose his possessions and home. Regarding his motorcycle, Geldhai states that Brösel could not afford even proper shoes if he cancels. With no other choice, Brösel keeps the contract going.

Plumber trainee - Part II (Animated scene)

Werner is late for work and sent by Master Röhrich to a construction site where Eckat already waits for him. Werner loads his equipment into a trailer but finds that the coupling is broken. He tells Master Röhrich that he must visit a garage for a new coupling, but instead Master Röhrich hastily repairs the coupling with a wire. On his way to the construction site, Werner drives up a very steep hill. On the way down, some screws fall off his handbrakes so he cannot brake safely, and he careens haplessly downhill to the construction site. Before any work, Eckat orders Werner bring him a crate of beer. Finding that the trailer is firmly stuck in the mud, Werner tries using a construction crane to move it. Meanwhile Master Röhrich arrives to oversee the work and uses the portapotty first. Werner ineptly tries to operate the crane, causing comical mishaps on the construction site until he finally rips off the walls of the portapotty, revealing Master Röhrich on the toilet, much to the amusement of Eckat and the construction workers. Shortly afterwards, Werner uses the materials in an unfinished building to create a balloon bomb. The balloon bomb continues inflating while Werner leaves to enjoy a drink with Eckat; Master Röhrich returns with the building inspector and accidentally ignites the balloon bomb with his cigar. The explosion destroys the building; Röhrich deliriously shouts that "the Russians have come," and Eckat escorts him home. Already driving away, Werner sees the destruction over his shoulder andcomments "What luck! Tomorrow is vocational school!"

Post office scene (Live-action scene)

Brösel gets a phone call, answers with a burp and gets an annoyed response from Gerd Geldhai. Geldhai demands to know when he will get his cartoons, and Brösel explains that he is just on his way to the post office. Another man wants to send a parcel to Siberia. While both Brösel and the other man are distracted by an attractive woman, the post clerk swaps the labels with the destinations of the parcels. In the next scene, a guy in ice-cold Siberia laughs uproariously while he sitting on the outhouse, reading Werner cartoons, and using them as toilet paper. Brösel gets another phone call from a very angry Gerd Geldhai complaining about a parcel stuffed with hot water bottles.

Moped inspection ''(TÜV)'' scene (Animated scene)

Werner drives his moped to the facility of the TÜV ''(technical inspection for vehicles)''. He asks the inspector to register a ''Wurstblinker'' ("sausage indicator"). The inspector is perplexed and asks to see how it works. Werner demonstrates that he puts a can with Wieners in the middle of his handle bar. Werner presses a button, and a wiener shoots straight down the inspector's throat. The inspector chokes it down, then calmly comments that it tastes a bit stale. Werner uses his bike attachment to add mustard, splattering it all over the inspector. He also shows that he can use different food products, such as canned soups, Labskaus or beans, irritating the inspector more and more until he denies Werner a registration and tells him to leave. Shortly after, Werner's friend Herbert arrives and wants to register a canholder on his moped. A second inspector joins the first one to view Werner and Herbert's mopeds, and they declare many of the features illegal. After one of them gets hurt by touching a sharp edge on Herbert's moped, the group begin angrily hurling insults at each other. In the end, Werner and Herbert drive off, leaving the inspectors in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

Accident scene (Live-action scene)

Having failed to send the cartoons by mail, Brösel decides to bring them to Gerd Geldhai in person by driving to Munich on his motorcycle. Nearing Munich, he approaches a tunnel that has only one traffic lane. A truck driver coming in the opposite direction is distracted by reading Werner comics while driving. They collide in the tunnel, and the next scene reveals a heavily-bandaged Brösel lying in the hospital. Since his drawings were scattered and burnt in the accident, he was to create new ones. The nurse, however, takes him his papers and pen away as she claims that he must not move, even to draw. Brösel then takes a syringe and jabs it into his leg. The narrator than comments "That's what a smoker's leg is good for! The doctor will keep quiet about that."

Hospital scene (Animated scene)

In the next scene, Werner also lies in a hospital and dreams of falling in love with a girl on a tropical island, accompanied by Hawaiian music. The dream is suddenly interrupted when a snaggle-toothed nurse enters the room and wakes him up. She washes him with a sponge - including his private parts - then brushes his teeth and sticks a thermometer into his mouth. She exits and leaves the light on. The annoyed Werner spits out the thermometer and turns the light off. Right when he falls asleep, a fat nurse enters his room and scolds him for ignoring orders and using the toilet instead of the urine bottle. He rudely dismisses her, and she resentfully exits, also leaving the light on. Yet again, Werner turns off the light and is disturbed by a new nurse. He yells at her so loud that all her clothes fly off, including bra and underwear. Plotting revenge, the fat nurse prepares an enema and the snaggle-toothed nurse prepares some sedative shots for Werner. Werner shuts off the light and finally sleeps again, only to be awoken by the cleaning lady hoovering his room. She accidentally knocks over a closet full of beer that Werner had smuggled in, shattering the bottles and flooding the hospital. Meanwhile, a professor leads a student group through the hospital. Werner decides to ride the beer flood out of the hospital and escape. The flood knocks down the vengeful nurses, causing the syringes to fly through the air and hit the professor and students, and causing the fat nurse to get the enema herself. Outside, Werner's brother Andi is already waiting with his moped. They ride to the beach where his other friends throw a party. Werner immediately falls asleep due to his sleepless night in the hospital. The friends prepare a strong coffee and force-feed it to Werner while ''Let's Dance'' by Chris Montez plays. Werner instantly springs back to full energy and celebrates.

Cinema scene (Live-action scene) and Pub scene (Animated scene) combined

Finally, the movie has its premiere in a cinema close to Munich Sendlinger Tor. The audience roars with laughter, and even Gerd Geldhai is delighted.

The animated scene shows an already-tipsy Werner and Andi entering a pub. The pub is owned by a bartender who speaks with a Berlin dialect. First, they order beer with strawberry yoghurt. The yoghurt is solid so that it does not mix with the beer, but the duo drink it anyway and then order a sugar egg (raw eggs stirred with sugar). The bartender does not know how to prepare it, so he just serves them the raw eggs. At that moment, hot-tempered Dieter and the motorcycle gang enter the pub. The group all order beer, using the slang "Saft" (juice), and the dim-witted bartender thinks they literally order juice. The bartender politely tries to figure out what kind of juice they would like, but Dieter misinterprets one of the bartender's statements as a remark about his girlfriend. Dieter flies into a rage, and the pub building explodes.

While the movie is running, Brösel - still wearing crutches - has to go to the bathroom. While he is using a urinal, he hears some heavy diarrhea sounds from a toilet stall. He smirks at first, but he becomes alarmed as smoke and then explosions emit from the stall. Then the door opens, and the witch girl from Brösel's dream appears, to the bewilderment of the man who was using the stall. The girl reminds Brösel that he had promised to fulfill her one wish, and she wants to marry him.

Final: Wedding scene (Live-action scene)

In a chapel, Brösel finally marries the witch girl; the priest from the beginning of the film presides over their wedding. When the priest asks the girl about her name, she says that he must guess it. On his third guess, the priest recalls encountering her in the forest when she called herself ''Rumpelstilzchen''. When he mentions that name, she screams "The devil told you!" and transforms from her filthy appearance into an elegant and good-looking woman. The priest declares this a miracle, and the wedding guests sing in celebration. At the end of the song, Brösel kisses the girl, and she transforms into a frog.

Again, Brösel wakes up from this dream when he gets a phone call by Gerd Geldhai, who says that he should start working on a sequel of the movie.

The story centers on Norma Carlisle, a middle-aged woman who chaperones the teenage Louise Brooks, who ventures to New York City to study dance at the Denishawn school.

Lisa is the general manager of the sports bar and breastaurant Double Whammies. She takes her job seriously, protecting her employees from inappropriate or rude interactions with customers. Despite her commitment to the restaurant, her incompetent boss, Ben Cubby, has repeatedly threatened to fire her. His ire is provoked when Lisa has her employees host an off-the-books car wash to raise money for an employee, Shaina, who has hit her abusive boyfriend with her car and is staying at Lisa's house.

Despite Lisa's optimism, the day proves challenging: she has potential new employees to try out; an attempted robbery results in a man becoming stuck in a ventilation duct; one of her most trusted employees, Maci, turns out to be secretly dating a much older patron; another, Danyelle, is a single mother struggling with child care for her son; another gets a large tattoo of Steph Curry on her midsection despite tattoos being forbidden on employees; the bar is trying to get its cable fixed in time for a big fight that night; business is threatened by ManCave, another breastaurant developing in the area; and Lisa is separating from her depressed husband, Cameron. After Cubby scares Lisa during an episode of road rage, she calls Cameron for a ride.

Cubby fires Lisa and she forces herself to leave. When she returns home she learns from Shaina that Cameron has moved out. Shaina reveals that she is back together with her boyfriend and will use the fundraising money to pay his hospital bills. Furious, Lisa forces her to return the money. That night during the big fight, Maci and Danyelle, frustrated by the loss of Lisa, sabotage the cable in protest, leading to an awkward and tense scene with the customers and an off duty police officer. Danyelle and Maci are fired soon after.

The next day, Lisa, Maci, and Danyelle interview with ManCave. The interviewer tells Lisa that ManCave waitresses are unintelligent and easily replaced. Lisa, Maci and Danyelle sit on the rooftop drinking liquor stolen from Double Whammies and contemplate their future employment before letting out cathartic screams.

While in South Sudan on a routine mission, close protection officer Sam Carlson saves two journalists she is protecting when their vehicle is attacked by local insurgents.

Zoe Tanner, the troubled child and heir of recently deceased business tycoon Eric Tanner, discovers she has been left all of her father's shares in his company, Hassine Mining. This shocks and angers her stepmother, Rima Hassine, whose family founded the company and who has taken over Eric's position as CEO. Having succeeded in negotiating a billion dollar deal for phosphate mining in Zambia, Rima demands that Zoe accompany her to the family house in Morocco while she completes the deal.

Rima hires Sam to act as Zoe's bodyguard for the trip, as her previous male bodyguard was fired for having sex with Zoe. Upon arriving at the family's fortified kasbah, Zoe demands that Sam remain for the full time she has been paid, and stay the night. Later that evening the safehouse's security system is breached, locking the property down and trapping its inhabitants. Heavily armed intruders kill multiple members of the security team. The intruders make their way to Zoe's room, killing en route the head of security, Alik.

Zoe escapes with Sam, and they are picked up by responding police officers. Although the officers assure them they are being taken to a police station, Zoe (who speaks Arabic) overhears them discussing a private address and money. Sam fights and disarms the officers, but Zoe ends up shooting one of them with Sam's sidearm. The two escape on foot into Casablanca and take refuge in a hotel. News of the incident causes share prices in Hassine Mining to drop considerably, potentially enabling their competitor Sikong to steal the deal.

Sam promises to get Zoe out of the country and is later joined by her boss and former lover, Conall. Their escape plan is for the three of them to travel as a family to Tangier and take the ferry to Spain. They are ambushed at the hotel by men who kill Conall. Sam saves Zoe from being taken by brutally fighting and killing two of the men.

Unable to leave the country without passports, Sam and Zoe travel to Hassine Mining headquarters to meet Rima. There they witness her in the car park with one of the suspicious men from the hotel. They follow him to a local marina, but Sam is noticed and the two fight; Sam impales him with a large fishing hook. Looking through his wallet, Sam and Zoe discover he is a police officer and had Rima's login details for the house security system.

While meeting with the selling company, Rima is confronted by a member of the competitor Sikong, who makes further threats on Zoe. Sam and Zoe return to the abandoned safehouse, where Zoe discovers that Sam previously had a child whom she put up for adoption at 16. During a meeting to finalize the mining deal, Rima receives a notification that her phone has been accessed by the house security system, and she leaves without signing the mining deal. The house is surrounded by corrupt members of the police, who refuse to allow a detective from Casablanca working with Rima to enter.

Rima arrives by helicopter. She reveals to Zoe that she is being blackmailed and that she is not responsible for the attempts on her life. She is attacked by the mercenaries and corrupt officers, although Zoe and Sam intervene and eventually save her. Sam is wounded in the wrist. With Zoe and Rima safe, and the threat over, Sam leaves to head home but promises Zoe she will call her daughter.

In the twenty-second century, millions live in underground cities under the Moon’s surface. One city-state, the Society of Cousins, is a matriarchy that gets involved in a war with the Organization of Lunar States.

Nguyen Ngoc Minh is a Vietnamese restaurateur based in London, and is also a Vietnam War veteran who was trained as an assassin by both the Viet Cong and the US Army. One day he loses both his wife and daughter in a bombing by the Irish Republican Army (IRA). He seeks justice, first by going to London Chief Inspector Richard Bromley, who is investigating the bombings, but he rebuffs Nguyen.

In the meantime, a rogue cell of IRA continues to commit bombings throughout London. Ian "Woody" Wood, a freelance journalist, is assigned to investigate the IRA. He is approached by the desperate Nguyen, who offers him money for the names of the bombers. Lacking any information, Woody suggests that Nguyen talk to Sinn Féin member and former IRA operator, Liam Hennessey. Nguyen sells his restaurant to his best friend and decides to travel to Belfast to talk to Hennessey. Hennessey has his former weapon dumps investigated, believing a rogue cell is using Semtex from those dumps to create the explosives, but when confronted by Nguyen, he claims ignorance of the bombers' identities. Nguyen reacts to this by setting off a homemade bomb in the bathroom of Hennessey's office. By phone Nguyen threatens further reprisals if he is not given the names of the bombers.

Hennessey, secretly having ordered the bombings to boost his political needs, is in fact enraged that civilians were killed and that the bombings came without warnings. He summons his associate in the United States, Sean Morrison, to London to talk to Bromley about a plan to take down the bombers. Morrison tells Bromley about their plan, of which only the two of them will have knowledge.

Nguyen sets off bombs on Hennessey's farm, prompting him to send his wife Mary, who is secretly having an affair with Morrisson, to London. Hennessey also sends his men after Nguyen, who is positioned in the forest surrounding the farm. Nguyen, lethally skilled in jungle warfare, disables Hennessey's men with traps and fights them off before escaping into the forest.

When another bombing occurs, Hennessey's plan fails to identify the bombers. Elsewhere, Woody is writing about his meeting with Nguyen. A member of the rogue cell named Maggie seduces him, in order to plant a bomb on his laptop without his knowledge before he flies to a press conference.

Desperate to neutralize Nguyen, Hennessey hires a tracker, who is the daughter of a close friend and former IRA associate. Hennessey discovers that the mastermind behind the bombings is his political enforcer Hugh McGrath. He also discovers Morrison and Mary's affair, deducing that Mary and McGrath were responsible for the rogue cell, but decides to let Morrison off the hook to help in hunting down Nguyen.

Morrison and Hennessey interrogate McGrath for the names of the bombers, before executing him. In flashback, the story reveals that Nguyen fought for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War before joining the United States Army, which trained him in unarmed combat and jungle warfare. He was refused asylum in America before deciding to escape to Hong Kong, witnessing his eldest daughters raped and killed by Thai pirates.

Morrison, the tracker, and Hennesey's right-hand man, Kavanagh, hunt for Nguyen, but during this effort Kavanagh and three other enforcers are killed by Nguyen, and a confrontation between Nguyen and Morrison ends with Morrison giving the names of the bombers to Nguyen.

Hennessey gives the identities of the bombers to Bromley. A Special Air Service (SAS) team led by The Colonel and an operative codenamed Joker converge on the apartment building in which the bombers are residing. Nguyen manages to enter first, disguised as a delivery man, and ambushes the bombers. At the airport, Woody boards the plane, not knowing about the bomb in his laptop. The SAS team bursts into the apartment and guns down everyone, including Nguyen, though not Maggie. They fail to stop the bomb in time, which detonates, killing Woody and everyone aboard. Bromley, wanting no loose ends, has Maggie executed.

During a meeting about taking down the IRA, Hennessey and Morrison's names are brought up. Bromley decides not to mention Nguyen, knowing the life and death of the Chinaman will always be a mystery.

Jo is a hostess, also known as a "B" girl (a euphemism for a prostitute), in a clip joint, a seedy waterfront nightclub where the patrons are set up for a pickpocket operation. The club is owned by Eddie Morgan, who keeps an eye on things by posing as the piano player. A former hostess, Annie, returns to the club in order to tell Morgan off and let him know that he ruined her life. Not getting satisfaction, she attempts to get Jo to turn witness against Morgan in order to get him arrested, but Jo is too afraid. While there, Annie witnesses Jo being treated roughly by a local hood, Red Connolly (William Pawley), who she accosts, which turns into a brawl.

Dan Walters, a sailor, and two friends show up at the club, and Jo begins to flirt with him. Finding that she likes him, she does not want to follow her usual routine of getting him drunk and taking his wallet, but Morgan insists. However, she is clumsy in her attempt, and is thwarted by Walters, who leaves, disillusioned with Jo, who he was beginning to like. Jo realizes that she would like to get out of her occupation, but Annie's failure to start a new life after leaving makes her unsure. Morgan is furious that she failed to lift the wallet, and slaps her around, leaving her bruised. When Walters returns to the club later, he notices the bruises and in an effort to get Jo out of the situation, offers to marry her and move away with her.

To assist in his plan to rescue Jo, Walters begins to snoop around in order to get dirt on Morgan. He uncovers quite a bit of illegal activity, and approaches Steve Mason, an undercover detective, with the information. Morgan learns from Nellie, the owner of another local establishment, of Walters' plan to take Jo away, and also discovers that Walters has spoken to Mason. He attempts to do away with Walters; the result is an all-out brawl, during which Morgan himself is knifed to death. Annie confesses to stabbing Morgan and gives herself up to Mason, who takes her away.

A year after leaving his former life in the Tojo Clan behind, ex-yakuza Kazuma Kiryu is called back into action when the clan's Fifth Chairman, Yukio Terada, is murdered by assassins from a rival organization, the Omi Alliance. Returning to Kamurocho, Kiryu must find a new chairman for the Tojo Clan and prevent an all-out war between the Tojo and the Omi, bringing him into conflict with Ryuji Goda, the legendary "Dragon Of Kansai" of the Omi Alliance.

A new scenario, entitled "The Majima Saga" exclusive to ''Kiwami 2'' explains how Majima came to leave the Tojo Clan following the death of his patron, Futoshi Shimano, a year earlier and form a legitimate enterprise, "Majima Construction", between ''Yakuza'' and ''Yakuza 2''. The scenario also features the return of Makoto Makimura, a major character of Majima's story in ''Yakuza 0''.

Majima Saga

In February 2006, Tojo Clan's Fifth Chairman Yukio Terada announces a reformation plan for the clan, which requires a replacement for the clan captain position. Up in the run for the position were newcomer Akinobu Uematsu, Kei Ibuchi and Goro Majima, who were making the most profits among the clan. Having no interest in the position and only participating to ensure the other families can band together to keep the newcomers from seizing power, Majima returns to Kamurocho, where he finds himself ambushed by several assassins. After quickly dealing with them, Majima returns to his family office, where he finds his men beaten supposedly by the Uematsu Family. Majima heads to Uematsu's office, but finds Uematsu himself shot dead. After reporting the incident to Tojo Clan members, Majima is tipped by Kazama Family patriarch Osamu Kashiwagi to find the Florist of Sai, who can provide him information. Upon meeting with the Florist, he agrees to help Majima in exchange for the latter's agreement in running the Florist's old base in Purgatory. Majima learns that one of his subordinates, Ryota Kawamura, was last seen at the crime scene. He travels back to Sotenbori to track down Kawamura, and eventually learns that he's a regular gambler who frequents the massage parlor Hogushi Kaiken. While at the parlor, Majima receives service from a woman named Tateyama, who turns out to be Makoto Makimura, who Majima saved from the Tojo Clan 18 years prior. Majima, while attempting to hide his identity, learns that Makoto still kept her old watch as a memento of her savior.

Majima later picks up a tip that Kawamura murdered an Omi Alliance officer at the Cabaret Grand. He heads there and confronts Kawamura. The latter is easily defeated, but is then shot dead by Ibuchi, who exploited Kawamura's debt to use him to get rid of Uematsu, in order to spark a war between the Omi Alliance and the Tojo Clan, which would lead to their eventual merging and Ibuchi seizing power from Terada. Majima defeats Ibuchi, but the latter commits suicide rather than allowing himself to be arrested to incite conflict between both sides. In the aftermath, Majima and Terada come to an agreement to disband his family, as a gesture of apology for Kawamura's action against the Omi Alliance. Majima and the remnants of his family then form Majima Construction, and begin work on the Kamurocho Hills complex. Some time later, Makoto leaves the country with her family; she receives an anonymous gift prior to her departure, which turns out to be a replacement strap for her watch. Realizing that her customer was her savior from 18 years as only those who lived back then would have known the original design, Makoto finally finds comfort knowing she has no regrets leaving Japan.

The film takes place in the 1950s in a small working village, where the graduate of a pedagogical institute Tatyana Levchenko (Nina Ivanova) arrives. In the city department of education she receives a referral to an evening school. She is to teach the Russian language and literature at the school for the working youth.

Nikolay Krushenkov (Gennadi Yukhtin), an old friend of Tatyana and an engineer of a metallurgical plant, helps Tanya rent a room and get acquainted with future students. At school Tatyana Sergeyevna becomes a form teacher of the eighth grade, in which Alexander Savchenko (Nikolai Rybnikov), a smelter, udarnik, joker and the favorite of factory girls is enrolled. Sasha immediately falls in love with the new teacher and in order to attract her attention he persists in talking and flirting with her even during the lessons.

However, Tatyana ignores his signs of attention. Sasha, accustomed to easy victories, is surprised by the girl's behavior, and his interest soon turns into resentment. Feeling hurt, Savchenko decides that the educated and intelligent Tatyana is contemptuous of him, a simple boy, a worker-steelmaker who has only completed seven grades, and that she considers him unworthy of her attention. In addition, he mistakes Tatyana's friendship with Krushenkov for a romantic relationship. Resentful and jealous, Alexander drops out of school and tries to forget Tatyana, but soon realizes that he really loves her.

While grieving the deaths of several of his close friends, McGrath awakens from sleep to find that he is being bitten by an enormous mouth full of teeth; it then vanishes, leaving him with a profound sensation of loss.

According to ''Vangardist'', the film is set in the 1990s during the winter solstice and shows the "contrasts [of] the hyper-masculine world of military service". It begins with a scene at night, showing Raphael (played by Josef Mohamed) pushing a gun into Michael's mouth (played by Michael Glantschnig); both are wearing military uniforms. The film then introduces to Michael, a young, gay Austrian soldier, in a military camp, who wakes up, vomits into a toilet, and starts crying. Entering the bathroom for a shower, Jürgen (played by Günther Sturmlechner) holds him from behind while Raphael turns cold water on him. After throwing Jürgen to the floor, Michael disappears to the cloakroom. Jürgen approaches him again and claims to know "all about [his] little secret," his homosexuality, while he touches Michael's body, and then throws him against a wall. When asked later by the commanding officer (played by Harald Bodingbauer) about the resulting wound on his eyebrow, Michael lies, telling him he slipped in the bathroom. Preparing for a watch on the Austrian-Hungarian border on the last night of a seven-week military service, Michael hears Jürgen joking about homosexuality with two fellow platoon mates.

Michael finally arrives with his duty partner Raphael at a tent in a forest for their eight-hour watch. Later when they sit together on what appears to be a bank, Raphael starts talking about his girlfriend, but seems unsure about his sexual orientation. He also apologises for his bad behaviour towards Michael and offers him a cigarette. After smoking cannabis with Raphael, Michael, who experiences a rush from the drug, attempts to kiss him. Raphael fends him off aggressively. After this, Michael takes his gun and walks away, first pointing it at Raphael, and then wanting to commit suicide by shooting himself because of the bullying by his fellow soldiers. A desperate Raphael demands that Michael put the gun down, and finally manages to get the weapon out of his hands. Michael then falls to the ground and starts to cry. The film ends with Raphael hugging him.

Picking up immediately after the events of the previous episode, Fitz and Olivia discuss the latter's decision to free her mother from custody. Despite being initially angry at each other, they have sex to celebrate Fitz's last day in office. The following morning, Maya manages to distract NSA agents and to remove the tracker which was implanted in her neck, thus narrowing further actions from Olivia and Jake. Mellie decides not to cancel the oath ceremony, to put Jake as chief of operations and to duplicate the protection of her and Luna's children. Fitz and Rowan get ready to restart B613 and put Fitz in charge.

At the ceremony, everything goes perfectly well, though Olivia received a call from her mother, who was at the top of a building ready to shoot someone who was not Mellie. When Maya was about to tell Olivia who had contacted her, Rowan knocked her out. Meanwhile, at OPA, Huck discovers one of the high-ranking people that hired Maya to kill Mellie. Since everything went well, President Mellie continues with the ceremony and the parade. Afterwards, Olivia argues with Fitz about him ordering Rowan to overthrow Maya. Mellie, enraged by the argument, leaves the room to choose her dress. Fitz's assistant calls him, saying that David is on the phone, wanting to talk to him. Fitz leaves, leaving Olivia alone and willing to argue.

Quinn asks Abby to take over OPA, saying that her baby needs a normal place to grow and live. Olivia goes to David's office and threatens him to tell her about what he and Fitz were talking about earlier. Soon after, Olivia is shown in the White House; she reveals to Fitz that she has already discovered about the reconstitution of B613. She asks him what made him decide to collaborate on Rowan's plan, and Fitz reveals that he will be the Command. Olivia is shocked, but still convinces him to give up the plan. They say goodbye since Fitz is leaving to Vermont to run his organization. He leaves and, shortly after, Olivia shows up in the backyard. They kiss in front of a crowd of photographers. Fitz gets on the Marine One helicopter, leaving a sad Olivia behind.

Back at OPA, Olivia, Quinn, Huck and Charlie investigate on who was the high-ranking VIP who ordered Mellie's assassination. Olivia soon realizes that Luna Vargas is the one who was behind everything that happened to Francisco, to Mellie and to Cyrus. She runs to confront Luna, but the latter assumes that Olivia can't send her to jail since she's the Vice President and this could ruin Mellie's presidency. At the hospital, Olivia visits her mother, who convinces her not to let anyone stand between Olivia and the White House. The conversation between mother and daughter leaves Olivia eager to act.

At night, Abby persuades Quinn to stay in Washington and run OPA, saying that she will help in every way to take care of the unborn child. Quinn cries as Charlie enters the room. She tells him that she's pregnant and they hug, as Huck blankly watches them. At the Oval, Mellie has an emotive moment in the renovated office and, following, goes to Cyrus's to invite him to go to the ball as her date. Olivia finishes her preparation to the ball and Jake knocks her door. She opens it to tell him that she knows how to handle Luna's situation. The two invite Luna to a private room and Olivia tells her that she's going to die right there. Luna call her agents, but Jake reveals that the agents are his, and that they're not going to do anything. Olivia presents her two forms of dying: committing suicide and being recognized as a saint, or being murdered and thrown somewhere by Jake and being investigated and then called a murderer for having ordered Francisco's death. Luna complains that she did not kill Francisco. She explains that she paid someone to make him lose since she did not want to be First Lady, but they ended up killing him. However, Olivia argues that it is a lie since Luna asked not to put her children onstage the night of the death of Frankie, since she already knew that something bad would happen. Luna takes the deadly pills after Olivia agrees that she isn't pure evil.

Afterwards, Olivia asks Mellie to sign a paper while Cyrus silently observes. Unbeknownst to Mellie, she was signing the papers to fund a new B613, which Olivia is commanding. Olivia goes to her father's paleontology lab to tell him she's the new Command. She tells him that she loves him and that she wants Sunday dinners. Olivia repeats Rowan's words from before: family is a weakness. Rowan explains that Olivia is not a smart prey, she has always been the predator. Olivia and Cyrus meet on the staircase of the Lincoln Memorial. Olivia discovers that Cyrus persuaded Luna to take control after he repeated exactly the same sentences Luna said while explaining herself earlier. Cyrus, on the other hand, succeeds to understand that Olivia took over B613.

Jonathan Peckinpaw is a struggling proprietor of an air conditioning store. When his store is destroyed by an explosion in the shop next door, set off by Nazi spies, his failure is complete. He attempts to enlist in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Corps. Due to his lack of physical stature, he is refused by each service. His friend, the newspaper reporter Ann Minter, attempts to help him build up his physique by taking up bowling. However, he is terrible at it. Peckinpaw's grandmother is a die-hard gambler, and introduces her grandson to Sam Long, another gambler. Unbeknownst to everyone, Long has developed a sure fire way to cheat at bowling: a radio-controlled bowling ball. He claims to be able to teach Peckinpaw how to bowl in an incredibly short period of time. Using the radio-controlled ball, Peckinpaw becomes an overnight bowling phenomenon, and Long cleans up on the gambling activity betting against him.

The Nazi spies, Hans Mueller, Karl Rankin, and Marlene Frederick, who blew up the building next to Peckinpaw's store, are attempting to signal their counterparts offshore. However, something is interfering with their short wave signals. They discover that the interference is coming from the radio signals Long uses to control the bowling ball. They befriend Long and Peckinpaw, and utilize Long's radio to send coded messages to their comrades. The FBI tracks down the signals to the bowling alley, and attempt to capture the spies. In the confusion, the spies escape, but the radio-controlled ball is revealed. The FBI rushes off after the spies, and Long quietly slips away, leaving Peckinpaw alone to deal with a hostile crowd upset over the cheating scam. They attack him and send him to the hospital.

Minter visits him in the hospital, and despises him for the cheating scam. However, Peckinpaw convinces her that he knew nothing about the radio-controlled ball, and simply thought he was bowling well. Minter eventually believes him, and helps him escape from the hospital. He knows where the spies are hiding out, and gets them to chase him, leading them directly into the custody of the FBI. Right after the spies are arrested Peckinpaw receives his orders from the War Department, requesting that he report for duty.

She remains unmarried as nobody is considered noble enough for her, but when a tutor arrives they fall in love. Sahle Sellassie Berhane Mariam, commissioned by Heinemann to write a report on the book ahead of a potential translation wrote:

''"Masterfully grafted to this love theme unfolds another, more serious story - the relation of the tradit1onal nobleman Meshesha and his peasant-tenants, a relation that ends in a peasants' revolt, and the subsequent humiliation of the captured Meshesha. The leader of the peasant revolt does not kill Meshesha. He prefers to make him a laughing stock to all who know him by capturing him alive and taking him to the provincial court...''

''Feker Eske Mekaber [Love Unto Death] is not only the longest Amharic novel so far written (about 106,000 words), but also the best in many ways. The language is clear and beautiful although sometimes ecclesiastical jargons that are inevitably sprayed here and there are difficult to understand for those readers (including myself) unfamiliar with Geez, the classical Ethiopian language. Otherwise the words are vivid and reveal the imaginative grasp of the author...''

''For the post war Ethiopian generation Feker Eske Mekaber is a social history; a social history that is groaning under the pressures of modernity, but that is not totally dead and buried.''

''A proper translation of the book into English and some other languages will reveal that the theme is closer to the social-setting of Europe and Russia of the pre-industrial era than to that of the present day Africa. It bears no resemblance to the themes developed by other [African] writers of today."''

Edward "Ted" Wallace (Roger Allam) is an ageing, jaded writer and former poet. Having not written a poem since 1987, he is stuck writing reviews of small-time plays, wallowing in his bath and compulsively drinking. After shouting at the cast and director at a poorly performed play leads to him being thrown out and fired from his position as a critic, Ted runs into his god daughter Jane, who lavishly pays him to investigate a series of miracles occurring at her family's manor in light of her unexplained apparent recovery from leukaemia.

At the manor, owned by his former friend Michael, Lord Logan, Ted becomes acquainted with his sixteen-year-old godson, David, who displays an unusual fascination with sex and nature. Also at the manor is David's brother Simon, Michael's angina-afflicted friend Oliver, who hopes to obtain funding for his new play and Valerie Richmond, a wealthy Frenchwoman who seeks to purchase one of the manor's horses, Lilac, for her socially awkward daughter Clara, who is accompanying her. For the next few days, Ted becomes acquainted with the manor's residents, encountering conflict between his abrasive attitude and the others' perky optimism, while David converses with Ted about both his interests and his ambitions of becoming a fellow poet.

One day, Lilac mysteriously falls ill of what appears to be ragwort poisoning, something which strikes Michael and Simon as odd as ragwort doesn't grow in the area. While Michael and company despair over the possibility of having to euthanise Lilac, Ted learns from various members of his god-family that the miracles he was sent to investigate were performed by David. According to this account, David had healed his mother from a severe asthma attack simply by touching her, when Simon's CPR seemed ineffective and cured Jane's leukaemia over the course of a few days through the same method. The following day, David appears to perform more miracles by curing Lilac's ragwort poisoning and Oliver's angina, leading Valerie to pursue him in hopes of improving Clara's appearance.

David has gone missing, leading to a search across the manor's grounds. Ted eventually sights David and Clara running into the woods afterwards and gives chase, only to find Clara performing fellatio on David. A bewildered Ted simply chooses to observe them as an ejaculating David tries to coerce Clara into swallowing his semen; Simon then discovers the pair and interrupts them, causing a panicked Clara to bite David's penis. After Simon takes Clara back to the manor, Ted comes out of hiding and drives a bleeding David to the hospital. On the way back, David explains to Ted that he believes his healing powers come from his moral purity and a spiritual connection with nature, channelled though his hands and especially his bodily fluids; Ted rubbishes this as blind delusion, leading a heartbroken David to abandon him.

Once Ted returns to the manor, he is confronted by Michael's sister Rebecca, who bears a grudge against Ted for him publicly humiliating her on live television many years ago; Rebecca insults Ted and rebukes him for his interference in Michael's family's life, leaving Ted to sulk alone in his room for the rest of the night. He comes to an unexpected realisation when he accidentally knocks over and smashes his whisky bottle.

The following evening, the manor's residents agree publicly to announce David's miraculous healing abilities, only for Ted to rebut them as mere coincidence. Ted explains that the breaking of his whisky bottle led him to realise that Lilac's poisoning was actually a hangover from drinking the contents of a bottle he dropped in an outdoor bucket earlier in the film, that Simon's CPR had rescued his mother during her asthma attack and that Jane's recovery from leukaemia was a remission of its symptoms. Ted further reveals David's confidence in his semen's abilities and that this led him to have morally dubious sex with Jane, Lilac and Oliver. Ted's acidic lecture disgusts and angers the residents of the manor and leads an eavesdropping David to attempt suicide by burying himself alive. The others discover David's absence and rescue him before Ted is forced to deliver the unfortunate news that Jane's leukaemia has killed her.

Time passes and the group has moved on from the events of that night. At Jane's funeral, David explains to Ted that his new "normal" life is one of hard work.

Magical enforcers Ziggy and Victor Battiato, inform Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon of the disappearances of fellow enforcer John Dart and magician Mozag and direct the group to investigate the Arcadeland arcade. After visiting the arcade, the friends resolve to earn enough tickets to obtain the magical hand stamps, which grant membership into four exclusive clubs. Nate receives his stamp from the owner of Arcadeland, magician Jonas White, who reveals that he is using the clubs to hunt for a powerful artifact named Uweya. Lindy Stott, who is unaware that she is actually Jonas' sister, Belinda White, also earns a stamp, to the dismay of her adoptive guardian Sebastian Stott. Summer gets a Tank stamp, which grants increased endurance, Pigeon joins the Subs, allowing him to breathe underwater, Trevor becomes a Racer, allowing him to move at inhuman speed, and Nate and Lindy join the Jets, who can fly. To ensure their obedience, Jonas creates a simulacrum, a voodoo doll-like facsimile, of each club member.

Jonas’ first task pits the Jets against the Subs in a race to retrieve the Gate to Uweya from a recluse known as the Hermit. Nate and Lindy force the Hermit to hand over the Gate, which takes the form of a stone block, explaining that they were helping Jonas only to save their friends. Pigeon and the other defeated Subs are secretly imprisoned by Jonas under Arcadeland, whereafter he discovers that Dart and Mozag are also held prisoner.

Jonas’ second task pits the Racers against the Tanks to retrieve a guidestone from the Graywater family. The Tanks overpower the Graywaters and seize the guidestone. Instead of returning to Arcadeland with the other Racers, Trevor takes refuge in Mr. Stott's apartment, where he is safe from Jonas’ magic.

The Jets triumph over the Tanks in the third task to use the guidestone to retrieve a small idol called the Protector. Leaving Lindy to return to Arcadeland, Nate heads to Stott's apartment to plan his next move. Summer also flees there to avoid imprisonment with the other Tanks.

Meanwhile, Trevor and Victor are captured in a failed rescue mission to Arcadeland, though Victor manages to transmit the location of the source of Jonas’ magical power to Ziggy, who informs Nate.

Nate then visits the Hermit a second time and is given his charm, which will protect him against Jonas’ magic. Upon his return home, he is confronted by Lindy, who tells him that Jonas revealed the truth about her identity to her.

The next morning, Jonas’ henchmen drive the Jets up to Mt. Diablo, where they descend into an underground chamber. They use the Gate and Protector to bypass the first layers of defenses guarding Uweya. Jonas paralyzes the Jets using his simulacra, though Nate is granted immunity by the Hermit's charm. Nate navigates the final set of defenses and encounters two members of the Graywater family, who tell him that Uweya is a globe that can affect physical objects on the real Earth. Nate uses Uweya to destroy Jonas' power source, then destroys Uweya itself to prevent it from being misused.

With Jonas attenuated, his prisoners are freed and he and his henchmen are taken into custody. Stott requests Nate to support Lindy as she processes her identity and reveals that there is a third White sibling, Camilla, whom Mozag is keeping an eye on.

Triton was to bring them to Attilan to live free of prosecution.

Believing Triton may be dead, Gorgon travels to Earth to find him. Maximus questions Medusa's loyalty to Black Bolt, and she attacks Maximus with her prehensile hair, which Maximus realizes is the vision the Bronaja saw.

Deep learns from Kraken that only the white whale Nathan can help them, and tells his grandson the necessary landmarks to identify where Nathan can be found. Deep, Evo and Alice set out to find Nathan.

After passing several landmarks, the friends get to the sunken ship (which is the Titanic), where they find the vampire squid Norma. She makes them listen to her musical performance, and tells them that in order to find Nathan, they need to get to Broadway. The heroes leave the ship with difficulty, since Norma would not let them go.

Along the way, Deep is attacked by the Moray eel Maura, but immediately after hearing from him that he has friends, she admits that she is lonely. Deep adds Maura to the team, despite the fact that Alice and Evo are against taking a predator that almost ate them on the first night.

While Darcy and Luigi distract the main characters by watching the film about the project "Ark-1" and "Ark-2" (which are spacecraft that saved humans and ground animals respectively, by leaving the Earth and settling another planet), they discuss the plan to freeze them and leave the Earth on the "Ark-3" (which is for aquatic animals).

When the heroes are placed in a trap, they finally met Nathan, who is chained, and immediately learn of Darcy's plan to freeze everyone, including Maura, who had not fallen into the trap. Deep, Alice and Evo manage to disable the cell without letting it freeze, and then get out of the locked cell and join Maura in battle against Darcy, Luigi and Ralph. As a result, they triumph over the trio and are ejected from the in-motion "Ark-3" along with Nathan and the other sea creatures.

After fleeing Australia, Jennifer takes a job as a nanny in the Netherlands. Her employer eventually discovers her true identity and that she is a fugitive. Looking for a way to quickly leave Amsterdam, she attempts to bluff her way onto a tour bus. Abe, the driver, allows her to board without a ticket, joking that "there's always room for another sinner". The other tourists include British businessman Douglas and his son, Curt; Jackson, a British soldier who accidentally killed a prostitute prior to boarding; Ruby, a French photographer sent to take pictures of windmills; Takashi, a university student who speaks only Japanese; and Nicholas, a troubled British physician.

Takashi recognises Ruby as a promotional model who starred in a popular Japanese advertising campaign. Responding to him in Japanese, Ruby downplays her fame and asks him not to cause a scene. Jennifer drops a pill bottle, and Nicholas hands it back to her after examining the label. After seeing her dead father standing in the road, Jennifer claims the bus has struck a man. The other passengers become annoyed when she insists on checking, and the situation only worsens when Abe cannot restart the bus. Abe suggests they wait for help to arrive, but Jackson and Jennifer leave to investigate a nearby windmill. After having flashbacks of killing the prostitute, Jackson is suddenly maimed by a scythe-wielding demon. Jennifer flees as the demon kills Jackson.

The other tourists do not believe her, and Nicholas points out that the bottle she dropped earlier was for an anti-psychotic. Jennifer angrily denies being crazy. The others attempt to calm her but do not believe her story about a demon. As they argue, the bus wobbles precariously. As they disembark, Jennifer accidentally injures Curt. Douglas announces that his son is a haemophiliac and accuses Jennifer of causing all their problems. Abe leads them to an abandoned cabin and, over Jennifer's objections, leaves to seek help from a miller. Takashi wanders off alone and, after seeing a ghostly apparition of his beloved grandmother, expresses remorse for abandoning her.

After returning, Abe finds an ancient document that says a local Devil-worshipping miller became an avenging demon after he was burned alive. Each of the tourists find personal items in the cabin that remind them of dark secrets, and they experience nightmares or flashbacks. Jennifer is revealed to have unintentionally caused her younger brother's death while killing their abusive father. After treating Curt, Nicholas wanders outside, where he denounces a silent, ghostly patient for ruining his career. Nicholas was drunk while operating on her and caused her death. Takashi returns to the others, witnessing the demon as it kills Nicholas. The others at first blame Jennifer for Nicholas' death. Takashi says, through Ruby's translation, that the demon spared him because of his remorse.

As the others come to believe Jennifer, they admit their sins: Ruby says she hired a yakuza to disfigure a rival model in Japan, and Douglas admits to killing his wife. Ruby drowns after admiring her reflection in a pool of water, and the demonic miller decapitates Douglas. Revealing himself as the miller's assistant, Abe kills Takahashi because the miller can not kill innocents or remorseful people. Abe lures Curt and Jennifer back to the windmill under the pretence of helping them to set it on fire. Jennifer expresses no regret for killing her abusive father, and the miller attacks her. She is saved when Curt escapes Abe and sets the windmill on fire. As the miller disappears, Jennifer remembers her dead brother and risks her life to rescue Curt, slashing Abe's neck.

Abe survives his wound by using bone meal from the mill to staunch the bleeding. As he taunts Jennifer, telling her she can not escape her fate, the miller reappears and kills her in front of Curt. Later, Abe picks up another bus load of tourists. When one of them cannot pay, Abe allows him on the bus, repeating the same line from earlier.

In 1990, Grant Hart told British magazine Select, "It starts out narrated by Pliny the Younger from Pompeii, OK? ... He pretty much gives the general synopsis. The story starts with the fall of Nazi Germany, and Wernher Von Braun doesn't wanna be captured. So he conjures up Wotan, the Nordic God of War, and asks him, like, How the hell do I get out of this mess?" Escaping back in time in a V2 rocket, von Braun meets Pliny the Elder who takes him to Pompeii. He ends up with King Pompedible (from the illustrated book, ''The Knave of Hearts'') trying to control his mind, just as Hitler had tried before. "He slowly comes to the realisation that he's going to be manipulated, no matter what he does. He leaves again, but it's not altogether clear how. It's more or less a transcendental thing involving the eruption (of Vesuvius) - the eruption wakes him up from a sodium pentathol-induced dream."

The film is divided into four vignettes linked by the following plot: Year 2052. Andrea's job is to travel back in time and her mission is to go deep into our heads and make us see the importance of preserving the environment.

Judy and her husband Ed live with their 18-year-old son Jamie in a remote, isolated community at the edge of Stuart Lake, British Columbia. Judy has suffered from Parkinson's disease for 19 of the 23 years she and Ed have been married, with Ed acting as her supportive caregiver, helping her to complete basic tasks such as getting dressed and taking her medication. Despite her illness, Judy attempts to lead a normal life by attending a Parkinson's support group each week to help manage her disease. Jamie spends most of his time hanging out with his best friend Danny, smoking and playing hockey. When Danny moves away for college, Jamie finds himself at loose ends, struggling to fully deal with the enormity of his mother's illness, and feeling left behind as Danny's phone calls become more sporadic. Ed convinces Jamie to get a job in the Alberta oil fields.

Jamie finds it somewhat difficult to fit in with his overly macho co-workers and the testosterone-fuelled environment they create by frequently discussing topics that make him uncomfortable, such as sex and violence, and by relentlessly bullying him. He struggles with his sexuality and briefly fantasizes about kissing Danny. After returning from her support group one day, Judy finds Ed face down in the water, having suffered a fatal heart attack. Jamie returns for the funeral and offers to move back home in order to look after Judy but she refuses, telling him he has to go and live his life. When she asks if he enjoys his job, he lies. Without Ed, Judy begins to find daily life more and more challenging but fiercely battles to remain independent. She often wakes up early in the morning and goes to sit on a boat in the lake where Ed drowned as a way to try to maintain their connection. While shopping in town, the cashier, a pregnant 17-year-old girl named Kaly, tells Judy that the store operates a home delivery service should she require it. Judy is pulled over when driving home because she is driving erratically and the police officer suspects that she is drunk. After explaining that she just needs to take her pills, he advises her that it is probably best she not drive unless she has taken her medications. As winter intensifies, tasks such as chopping firewood become even more difficult, so Judy begins having her groceries delivered. Kaly befriends Judy, who in turn provides her with advice about her impending motherhood.

The death of his father causes Jamie to spiral and he uses cocaine after finding some that his supervisor Daryl has dropped. When Daryl chastises him for working too slowly, Jamie lashes out and the two men get into a fight, but Daryl is blamed and their boss tells Jamie that he is free to continue working as long as he passes a drug test. Jamie refuses to take the test and walks off the job. He pays a female prostitute to give him oral sex but he does not enjoy it, and he destroys his car windshield in a fit of rage when it won't start. He returns home where he meets Kaly during one of her deliveries. Judy asks Jamie to pick up her pills and, while in town, he visits Kaly at work and asks her about her baby's father. She explains that he has taken an out-of-town job and she thinks he is scared. Although initially resistant, Jamie persuades her to meet him after her shift. They discuss his mother, and he says that he finds it difficult to see her slowly deteriorate knowing that there is no chance she will get better. He then asks Kaly if she has ever been with another girl before admitting that he is confused and has thought about being with Danny. She kisses him and the two have a sexual encounter in his car. Afterwards, Kaly asks if he enjoyed it and he tells her that he did.

Jamie drives home and finds all of the lights turned off. Judy calls to him from the bathroom and he finds her lying in freezing cold water, unable to get out because she hasn't taken her pills. He carries her to her bed and helps her get dressed before breaking down in tears. He apologizes for not bringing her medication sooner but she tells him not to worry. She then apologizes to him, saying that she should be the one supporting him as opposed to the other way around. They embrace and promise to be there for one another. The next morning, Judy wakes up early and makes her way to the now-frozen lake where she sits down and talks to Ed, wishing him a Merry Christmas.

In the Joseon dynasty, King Lee Jo is viewed as overly deferential to the nearby Qing dynasty of China. His son, Crown Prince Lee Young, plots to buy European arquebuses to drive away the Qing. The plot is exposed by War Minister Kim Ja-joon, who holds influence over the king and frames it as a rebellion. Kim meets the Europeans and learns that they have brought zombies (called "night demons"). The crown prince commits suicide as penance so that his subordinates will be spared. Joseon forces destroy the European ship and retrieve the arquebuses, but a Joseon soldier is bitten by a zombie. He returns to his village, where he turns and spreads the infection. The zombies crave human meat and blood, are attracted by sounds, repelled by sunlight, and are stopped by decapitation or piercing of the heart, as well as separation of spinal vertebrae but methods of killing are inconsistent.

The crown prince left a request that his wife Gyeong-bin and unborn child be raised by his younger brother Lee Chung in China for their safety. Lee Chung had previously been left out of Joseon's order of succession and grew up abroad in the prosperous Qing. Lee Chung returns with his companion Hak-Su, landing in Jemulpo, but is attacked by Joseon assassins sent by Minister Kim and other ministers, who are plotting a coup. The noise of the battle draws an attack by zombified villagers. Lee Chung and Hak-Su are assisted by local partisans, including Park Eul-ryoung, former lieutenant to the crown prince, and archer Deok-hee. The Jemulpo partisans ask Lee Chung to become crown prince, but he declines, wanting to return to China. Lee Chung awkwardly flirts with Deok-hee.

The only survivor of the would-be assassins is captured by Kim because he is infected. The ministers arrange for a concubine to be infected. She later turns and infects the king. Lee Chung arrives at the king's court, where he requests an army to crush the zombies. The king initially agrees but the ministers instigate him to rescind the order, claiming no zombie outbreak, only a civil rebellion. The Jemulpo partisans are arrested, while Lee Chung and Gyeong-bin are ordered to attend a banquet for a visiting Qing delegation.

At the banquet, the king fully turns into a zombie, and is slain by Kim, who unleashes zombies there in an attempt to kill members of the palace and the Qing delegation, then rule with all potential opposition gone. However, Kim is bitten by a zombie, leading to the ministers attempting to kill him. Kim slays them all, chops off his own hand to slow the infection, then declares himself king.

Gyeong-bin convinces Lee Chung not to flee but to protect the people, so Lee Chung, the royal guard and his Jemulpo allies freed from prison proceed to fight to prevent the zombies from escaping the palace and attacking the capital. Lee Chung and his allies plan to draw the zombies together into a gigantic fiery explosion at the palace. Kim kills Hak-Su and an infected Park, preventing the explosion. Lee Chung continues the same plan, battling a horde of zombies and the half-infected Kim. While doing so, he pours oil on the floor of the palace. Deok-hee fires a flaming arrow into the palace burning it down. Lee Chung retreats to the roof of the palace, only to find that Kim also climbed the palace.

Together, they duel with each other, Lee Chung being the victor. Reinforcements of soldiers and commoners later arrive to exterminate the rest of the zombies. Lee Chung recognizes that through the power of the people, the ruined Joseon still has hopes for existence, and elects to stay rather than go back to Qing China.

Ted Swenson (Stanley Tucci), after publishing his first novel, which earns him a little fame, begins his career as a creative writing teacher at the (fictional) Euston College in Vermont, hoping to soon leave it after he publishes another hit novel, but gets stuck in that job for about 10 years and becomes a tenured professor. One of his students, Angela Argo (Addison Timlin) requests him to read the first chapter of her novel, 'Eggs', which he does and finds the writing style impressive. His colleague Magda (Janeane Garofalo) tells him about the vulgar poems Angela wrote when she took her class, and tells him that she actually insisted on making it a donation to the college library. Though librarians found the poetry about a phone sex worker rather obscene, they decided to keep it as an act of good faith.

Ted checks out that poetry book which primarily consists of erotic conversations between a phone sex worker named Angela 911 and her clients. Later, he attends a dinner at his colleague's place along with his wife Sherrie (Kyra Sedgwick), where they all discuss about new campus sexual harassment rule-book and how political correctness is affecting their teaching style.

Ted praises Angela's writing and encourages her to write more; she in turn gives him increasingly erotic later chapters of her novel. Ted, reading her novel, which is about a teenage girl sexualizing her science teacher, starts imagining himself as that science teacher but tries to keep their relationship professional. One day, Angela asks him to give her a ride to Burlington to get a new laptop. After returning to the school, she invites him into her dorm room to set up her computer. Though reluctant, Ted follows her and soon, she comes onto him and they quickly begin to have sex. However, before they can finish, Ted's weak tooth comes out and they humorously decide to postpone sex for some other time. While leaving her room, Ted meets one of his other students who eyes him suspiciously.

One day during class, Angela blatantly tells another student that her plot and characters are weak. While the students expect Ted to reprimand her, he does nothing and, after everyone leaves, Angela asks Ted to show her novel to his agent. Though surprised, Ted agrees and actually meets his agent but the agent shows disinterest in reading a newbie's novel. Later, Ted tries to explain the situation to Angela but she becomes furious, shouting that she only slept with him in hopes of getting to a reputed agent through him. Shocked, Ted says he didn't think their relationship had anything to do with business and Angela angrily leaves.

The next day, Ted gets a call from the university board and learns that Angela has filed a sexual harassment suit against him and produced tape of their previous day’s conversation as proof. Everyone, including his wife, blames him and, after his students and some faculty members testify against him, he loses his job, marriage and reputation. However, Angela gets a call from Ted's agent, who now shows interest in her work in light of the controversy. Fifteen months later, Ted is seen writing his memoirs in a cafeteria and when he sees a woman at his table reading the 'Eggs' novel, he asks her how she likes the book.

Spike plays a prisoner doing 500 years at Sing Song Prison. However, he has come up with an escape plan and starts digging a tunnel under his cell floor using a teaspoon, only temporarily stopping whenever a guard or the warden walks by. 20 years (and 6,500,004,385,632 teaspoons) later, Spike finally digs up through the outside of the prison wall. He returns to his cell to get his disguises but stops all escape activity when the warden comes walking by again. When Spike mentions to the warden it is his 20th anniversary in prison, the warden suddenly remembers it's his wedding anniversary and runs out to get his wife a gift. This prompts Spike to grab his disguises, and run through and out of the tunnel. Finally free, he gets into a train boxcar, where he guts out a television set to hide in it. Seconds later, the TV is hauled onto a truck and taken to Sing Song Prison. As Spike talks about the many places he plans on visiting, he suddenly sees the warden at his desk on the phone and goes into a panic. Turns out that the TV is the anniversary gift for the warden's wife.

After the warden finishes his phone call, he goes over to the TV to check it out using the listings from the newspaper. Spike realizes he must play out everything the warden wants to watch, using his disguises and careful positioning on the TV screen to do it; first is a Western movie, followed by a boxing match. The warden wants to watch horse racing next, but Spike uses a watering can to pour water across the screen and posts a sign: RACES CALLED OFF: RAIN. So the warden decides on a musical program instead, with Spike playing a "one-man band" that he greatly enjoys. After this, the warden turns the TV off, satisfied that his wife will enjoy it. An exhausted Spike, not wanting to go through any more, breaks through the bottom of the set and starts digging through the ground just as the warden picks the TV up and heads home with it. Shortly thereafter, Spike reaches the end of his path, only to end up back inside the same TV set, now in the warden's living room. The warden proceeds to show his wife how well it works, but when he "turns it on", Spike pops up and subsequently goes into a mental breakdown.

In an alternate 2014, rising unemployment, lack of jobs, rising inflation and a housing crisis leads to the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA), led by U.S. president Bracken, to replace the Democrats and Republicans as the most powerful political party in the United States. A crazed drug addict named Skeletor discusses his dark thoughts, including his desire to "purge" and unleash his hatred on other people. An NFFA employee tells Skeletor that he can very soon.

Two years later, in 2016, NFFA chief of staff Arlo Sabian and sociologist Dr. May Updale announce an experiment to take place on Staten Island where for 12 hours, citizens will be allowed to purge and release their inhibitions in any way they choose, including murder. The NFFA offers residents $5,000 to stay during the experiment, with additional compensation if they join the purge and survive. They also outfit the participants with contact lens cameras so that they can monitor all activity and put tracking devices in them so they will know if they try to leave the island.

Low-lying drug kingpin and businessman Dmitri tells his dealers that they will not be leaving the island, as moving his large amounts of money and product will draw too much attention, and tells them to stay in a safe house and lay low. Dealer Capital A decides to defy this order and go out and purge, while newbie dealer Isaiah is attacked and injured by Skeletor. Isaiah goes to his sister Nya, an anti-Purge activist and Dmitri's ex-girlfriend, for treatment. As people flee Staten Island, Nya joins her friends Dolores, Luisa, and Selina in a church to wait out the Purge. Dmitri has stayed behind, and Anna and Elsa, two prostitutes, are sent by his dealers to his office to keep him company. Skeletor commits the first Purge murder, and the video recorded by the NFFA goes viral. The NFFA also observe that most of the crimes taking place are minor ones such as looting, vandalism, disorderly conduct, and public disturbances like loud parties, as opposed to the expected violent ones like murder.

Isaiah secretly joins the Purge to get his revenge on Skeletor. He eventually confronts him during the Purge but cannot shoot him. Isaiah runs off and into more purgers, before hiding and calling Nya for help. Anna and Elsa are revealed to be Purgers who attempt to kill Dmitri, but Dmitri fights them off and learns that Capital A had sent them in an attempt to take over Dmitri's business. Skeletor captures Nya in the streets and attempts to rape her, but Isaiah wounds him and they escape. Capital A and his crew go to Dmitri's office to thank Anna and Elsa for killing Dmitri, but Dmitri and his gang ambush him and kill them all, except for Anna and Elsa, who are told to never return to Staten Island. Nya and Isaiah return to the church to see blood-soaked white supremacist bikers leaving it. Although Nya's friend Luisa and her daughter Selina survive, Dolores' fate is unknown. They all return to Nya's apartment, where Dolores eventually manages to make it safely.

Meanwhile, at the NFFA headquarters, Updale becomes suspicious of a sudden increase in murder, along with the presence of masked participants. As she reviews the video footage of the Purge and notices vans full of masked killers arriving, she realizes to her horror that the masked participants are trained mercenary groups killing multiple civilians. Sabian explains that he sent the mercenaries to make the experiment look successful, and eventually to help balance the wealth disequilibrium amongst the rich and the poor. Updale protests this tampering, realizing that the NFFA only wants to eradicate the poor to save the expense of social programs. Knowing that his corruption has been exposed, Sabian has Updale taken to Staten Island and executed, before erasing all footage of the event.

Dmitri and his gang escape through the streets, until unknown assailants attack them. Dmitri disposes of them all and discovers they are mercenaries. Realizing they were sent by the NFFA, who had also dumped weapons into the neighborhood to provoke participation, Dmitri and his crew decide to take a stand against them and protect the neighborhood. After saving local shop owner and friend Freddy and his associates, they go to Nya's apartment building to try and save her and her friends, but NFFA drones shoot and kill most of Dmitri's gang. Dmitri calls Nya and warns her of the mercenaries' invasion, but he is coming to help her. Dmitri successfully kills a number of mercenaries and helps Nya's group to hide in a safe space. A second group of mercenaries are about to shoot a rocket-propelled grenade into the apartments when a deranged Skeletor arrives and eliminates some mercenaries before he himself is killed. Dmitri grabs a piece of plastic explosive, throws it and shoots it repeatedly until it explodes, killing the remaining mercenaries. As sirens sound the end of the Purge, a wounded Dmitri is hailed as a hero, and he states that the survivors must somehow fight back.

During the end credits, Sabian reads a statement calling this experimental Purge a success, and that a nationwide Purge may begin as soon as the following year, which leads into the events of the other films and directly ties into ''The Purge'' television series.
