A young British woman named Sinaloa comes to Texas to find Merle, her half-sister by way of their dead country musician father. It doesn’t take long for Sinaloa to charm her way into Merle’s life. Her singing awakens something in Merle and erases any lingering doubts about their shared bloodline. But an all-too-familiar chaos comes with it, which soon starts to unravel Merle’s stable world—her job, her upcoming marriage, and an already tense relationship with her mother, Patricia. And while the family music legacy brought this stranger to town, darker motives are woven into the songs she sings, showing glimpses of a violent rage that’s been building for years.

A woman is wrongly accused of a crime that was really committed by her husband and is sent to jail. While in prison she gives birth and the child is put up for adoption. Once fresh evidence frees her from jail, the woman goes searching for her daughter.

''Vice'' is narrated by Kurt, who is depicted as a veteran of the Afghan and Iraqi wars.

In 1963, Dick Cheney works as a lineman in Wyoming after his alcoholism led him to drop out of Yale University. After Cheney is stopped by a traffic cop for driving while intoxicated, his wife Lynne Cheney tells him to clean up his life or she'll leave him.

In 1969, Cheney finds work as a White House intern during the Nixon Administration. Working under Nixon's economic adviser, Donald Rumsfeld, Cheney becomes a savvy political operative as he juggles commitments to his wife and their daughters, Liz and Mary. Cheney overhears Henry Kissinger discussing the secret bombing of Cambodia with President Richard Nixon, revealing the true power of the executive branch to Cheney. Rumsfeld's abrasive attitude leads to him and Cheney being distanced from Nixon, which works in both men's favor; after Nixon's resignation, Cheney rises to the position of White House Chief of Staff for President Gerald Ford while Rumsfeld becomes Secretary of Defense. The media later dubs the sudden shake-up in the cabinet as the Halloween Massacre. During his tenure, a young Antonin Scalia introduces Cheney to the unitary executive theory.

After Ford loses the election, Cheney runs to be representative for Wyoming. After giving an awkward and uncharismatic campaign speech, Cheney suffers his first heart attack. While he recovers, Lynne campaigns on her husband's behalf, helping him to win a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. During the Reagan Administration, Cheney supports a raft of conservative, pro-business policies favoring the fossil fuel industries, as well as the abolishment of the FCC fairness doctrine, which led to the rise of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and the increasing level of party polarization in the United States. Cheney next serves as Secretary of Defense under President George H. W. Bush during the Gulf War. Outside of politics, Cheney and Lynne come to terms with their younger daughter, Mary, coming out as lesbian. Though Cheney develops ambitions to run for president, he decides to retire from public life to spare Mary from media scrutiny.

Cheney becomes the CEO of Halliburton while his wife breeds golden retrievers and writes books. A false epilogue claims that Cheney lived the rest of his life healthy and happy in the private sector and credits begin rolling, only for them to end abruptly as the film continues.

Cheney is invited to become the running mate of George W. Bush in the 2000 United States presidential election. Under the impression that Bush is more interested in pleasing his father than attaining power for himself, Cheney agrees on the condition that Bush delegates executive responsibilities to him and avoids getting him involved in the Republican Party's stance against gay rights. As vice president, Cheney works with Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, legal counsel David Addington, Mary Matalin, and Chief of Staff Scooter Libby to exercise control of key foreign policy and defense decisions.

In the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, Cheney and Rumsfeld maneuver to initiate and preside over the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Various other events from his vice presidency are depicted, including his endorsement of the unitary executive theory, the Plame affair, the accidental shooting of Harry Whittington, and tensions between the Cheney sisters over same-sex marriage. Cheney's actions are shown to lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths and the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq, resulting in him receiving record-low approval ratings by the end of the Bush administration.

While narrating Cheney's tearful deathbed goodbye to his family after another hospitalization, Kurt dies in a road traffic incident while jogging. In March, 2012, his healthy heart is transplanted into Cheney. A few months later, Cheney accepts his daughter Liz's opposition to same-sex marriage, which she expresses when she runs for a Senate seat in Wyoming; this upsets Mary. Liz later wins election to her father's former Congressional position. At the end of the film, an irate Cheney breaks the fourth wall and delivers a monologue to the audience, asking them "which terror attack would you allow to go unchecked so you don't look like a mean and nasty fella", admits he's not perfect, states that he has no regrets about anything he has done in his career, and concludes by thanking the audience for giving him the powers to transform the vice-presidency.

In a mid-credit scene, a focus group depicted earlier in the movie gets into another argument about the efficacy of the film and the Presidency of Donald Trump, whereas some members of the group are uninterested and would rather do something other than politics.

Harper Moore is the 25-year-old assistant to Kirsten Stevens, a former journalist and now editor of an online sports journalism empire. Charlie Young is the 28-year-old assistant to high-strung venture capitalist Rick Otis. Both work in the same building and meet one night when their bosses need dinner. Harper has ordered dinner for Kirsten but has no cash on her to pay for it; Charlie, who was not able to order dinner for Rick, pays for it to give to Rick. After Harper tells him she will be fired if she does not return with food, Charlie allows her to take one of the meals.

While meeting Charlie the next day to reimburse him for the food, the two talk. Charlie reveals that despite how abrasive Rick is, his connections would guarantee Charlie a promotion. Harper expresses her admiration of Kirsten and her desire to write sports journalism. After complaining that they have no time for their personal lives, Harper jokes that both of their bosses need to get laid. Charlie is initially put off but Harper reasons that if they are dating each other, they would have less time to overwork her and Charlie. After his girlfriend Suze almost breaks up with him due to his lack of free time, Charlie agrees.

Their initial plot to have Rick and Kirsten "meet cute" in a stalled elevator goes awry when they are joined by a delivery man suffering from claustrophobia who starts stripping and urinating. Charlie and Harper then arrange for the two to sit beside each other at a baseball game, bribing the operator of the kiss-cam to pressure the two into kissing. After three attempts, Rick and Kirsten kiss. They begin dating, leaving Charlie time to spend with Suze, and Harper time to date.

However, things between Rick and Kirsten quickly become bumpy, causing Harper and Charlie to realize they must work hard to keep their bosses together. They manipulate their bosses into staying together by planning dates, leaving notes and gifts, and organizing a weekend getaway for them, getting the couple to think it was their own ideas. When Charlie is ignored by Suze, he accompanies Harper to her best friend Becca’s engagement party since her date ditched her.

Returning from their vacation, Rick and Kirsten inform their assistants they are engaged. Harper and Charlie are thrilled but Charlie learns that Rick proposed to Kirsten to aggravate his ex-wife Kiki, who he is still sleeping with. Harper discovers this after overhearing Rick having phone sex with Kiki. She confronts Charlie and is disappointed to learn that he knew about it and still wants Kirsten and Rick to get married.

Harper goes to Kirsten and explains that she and Charlie manipulated them into dating; Kirsten fires her and plans to go on with the wedding. Charlie, realizing he doesn't love Suze, breaks up with her and runs to the airport, where Rick and Kirsten are about to leave to elope. Charlie quits his job and tells Kirsten that Rick doesn't love her and doesn't know her at all. Kirsten realizes it's true and leaves Rick.

Harper goes through a crisis with her writing, but Becca encourages her to make progress. Rick asks for Charlie's help in reuniting with his ex-wife. Harper goes to her office to pick up her things. Kirsten tries to hire her back but Harper refuses, telling her she needs to focus on her writing. Kirsten offers to edit her article.

As she is leaving, Harper sees Charlie, who has been called there by Kirsten. They realize that Kirsten is attempting to set them up. Charlie reveals that he now works as a temp, hoping to learn what he actually wants to do. The two share a kiss upon confessing that they like each other, despite having many reasons not to.

In an mid-credits scene, Creepy Tim watches the two through security cameras.

Yumi Nagumo is a carefree Nipponian (in-universe version of Japan) high school girl who dreams of going to the United States of Amerigo (in-universe version of the United States of America) and becoming its president. She managed to arrive in the US during summer vacation. After befriending some elderly veterans, she becomes convinced that joining the United States Marine Corps is the best way to move her dream forward and enlisted. The story follows Yumi and her friends in the Marines, starting from their experiences in boot camp to their daily lives as Marines stationed in Okinawa.

Series 1

Taking place between the events of the films ''Mystery Road'' and ''Goldstone'', ''Mystery Road'' Series 1 tells the story of Detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen), assigned to investigate the mysterious disappearance of two young farmhands on an outback cattle station, one a local Indigenous football hero and the other a white backpacker. Working together with local police sergeant Emma James (Judy Davis), the investigation uncovers drug trafficking in the town, and a past injustice that threatens the fabric of the whole community.

Series 2

Swan has to unravel the mystery of a decapitated body which turns up in the mangroves. The plot involves drug trafficking and an archaeological dig.

Series 3

The year is 1999, and a young Jay Swan moves back to his home town of Jardine to join the local police force. He must cope with his estranged father Jack and his feelings for local girl Mary Allen, as well as contending with a mysterious gang of robbers.

The film consists of multiple storylines and each story has a character or incident that changes the life of another character in a variety of ways. Some interactions are very direct while others may be small, seemingly inconsequential, moments that have just as large of an impact. The film explores these moments and more as we see into various lives during certain vital moments.

The stories broadly consist of: * A couple on a blind date. * A sister deals with loss concerning her brother and nephew. * An older woman dating a younger man must choose between her relationship and her children. * An FBI surveillance team oversees an abduction and the resulting fallout. * A teenage boy and girl attempt their first sexual experience. * An engaged mother of two deals with an unexpected illness. * A married couple struggle with the thought of parenting.

Seven years after the events of ''No More Heroes 2'', a former professional baseball player turned assassin named Badman is on the run from the Smith Syndicate. He is tracked down by one of the syndicate's assassins, Dan Smith, who is seeking retribution for being double crossed. Badman justifies his actions as being for the sake of his own survival, as he wishes to get revenge on Travis Touchdown, who had murdered his daughter, Bad Girl, during the events of ''No More Heroes''. Dan successfully tracks down Travis' location, granting Badman a Death Ball and allowing Badman to live, under the condition that he kill Travis, and use the ball to resurrect his daughter.

Travis - now 37 years old - has isolated himself and lives in a camper in a forest in Texas, where he spends his time playing video games. When Badman attempts to ambush Travis, the two accidentally awake a dormant video game console in Travis' possession - the "Death Drive MK-II". The console reacts to Badman's Death Ball, and the two get transported into the video game that's contained in it. Travis and Badman learn from the console's AI construct, Death & Drive, that the unreleased console was created by Dr. Juvenile, and completing the six Death Balls that contain the only games developed for the console will grant its player one wish. The two form a truce, opting to team up to locate every Death Ball, and defeat all of the games, in order to resurrect Bad Girl.

The game explores Travis' current circumstances and Badman's backstory in visual novel portions that are set between each Death Drive game. In the last seven years, Travis had married former UAA confidant Sylvia Christel, and had two children, though he abandoned his family for their safety, as assassins kept showing up to battle Travis. In his search for the Death Balls, Travis ends up traversing the planet and meeting characters from other Suda51 games, such as Kamui Uehara from ''The Silver Case'', and Mondo Zappa from ''Killer Is Dead''. Travis also receives information about Dr. Juvenile and her past through fax messages from her purported husband, learning that Juvenile is a war orphan with genius intellect and an affinity for video games, who was hired by the US government to develop advanced technology. She also implemented elements of her history and upbringing into the Death Drive's games, such as basing the in-game serial killer "Doppelganger" on her adoptive father. Travis learns that the Death Drive MK-II was designed as a machine that would create clones of its users, and that while it was initially intended for space travel, the government had re-purposed it to be a super soldier program - a prospect which caused Juvenile to sabotage the project in an act of defiance, and go into hiding. Despite this, the mother machine responsible for its protocols still lays dormant within the CIA, and Travis is warned that completing all six Death Ball games will cause it to reboot, allowing the government to continue developing super soldiers. He is also alerted that should it be reactivated, Juvenile would destroy the United States in retaliation.

Despite warnings, Travis and Badman successfully complete every Death Ball; however one of the games - ''Killer Marathon'' - turns out to be an incomplete version of the game. As such, when they wish for Bad Girl's resurrection, she ends up being resurrected in the form of a dog. Travis later ends up locating a prototype for a Death Ball which, rather than transporting him into a video game, transports him directly into the CIA. Massacring his way through the facility he locates the Death Drive mother machine which is being guarded by Dr. Juvenile, who has infiltrated the facility and taken the form of "White Sheepman". Travis, expressing respect for her talents and sympathy for her suffering, reluctantly battles and ultimately defeats her. He interacts with the mother machine and is transported to Mars, where he meets John Winter; the creator of the very original Death Drive and Juvenile's mentor. Winter explains that he retired to Mars to escape Earth's problems, and safeguards the planet, opposing the government's plans to emigrate there. He offers Travis the opportunity to stay on Mars and live a perfect life. Travis declines, realizing that he can't abandon his past, and deciding to face his problems head on. Winter responds by decapitating Travis, as the only way for him to return is to "die".

Back on Earth, Travis is approached by his self-proclaimed pupil, Shinobu Jacobs, who asks him to return from hiding to face the assassins. Travis remarks that it's time for bloodshed. In a playable post-credits segment, Travis is controlled from a third person perspective similar to the previous ''No More Heroes'' games, set in a default Unreal Engine level. While attempting to approach a dummy, Travis berates the player for treating the area like a game, saying that they're currently "in development".

DLC #2: Bubblegum Fatale

Following the events of the main campaign, Travis and Shinobu are intercepted by Travis' twin brother Henry, who is now part of an enigmatic order with a vendetta against Travis. Travis and Shinobu prepare to battle against his subordinates before they're interrupted by a pair of villainous alien lucha libre wrestlers bent on world domination, and a self-proclaimed super hero named "Notorious". When Travis questions the sudden presence of the new characters, Shinobu wonders whether they are foreshadowing "the next game". The standoff is once again interrupted, this time by Death & Drive, who have broken free of the Death Drive MK-II and are seeking revenge against Travis. He manages to beat them in a game of ''Fire Pro Wrestling'', obtaining the location of the completed version of the ''Killer Marathon'' Death Ball, which is in the possession of Travis' wife, Sylvia Christel. Travis returns to her estate, obtaining the Death Ball and reconnecting with his daughter and wife in the process. After beating the completed version of ''Killer Marathon'', Travis and Badman successfully resurrect Bad Girl. Travis also spots a glimpse of the Death Drive mother machine, which states that coding has been completed.

The game begins with the option of an interactive tutorial inside a cathedral. It then transitions to the Prologue which is set in Shiring in 1135. It is here in the snow-covered woods, near St-James-in-the-Forest, that Tom, his heavily pregnant wife Agnes, and their children, Alfred and Martha, stop to rest overnight. It ends with the death of Agnes in childbirth.

Book 1: From the Ashes

The game restarts near Kingsbridge Priory as it mourns the death of Prior James. Philip, surprised by the news, learns of the upcoming vote for the new prior. He accepts a nomination, and also agrees to help his brother, Francis, recover a missing letter. We then see the aftermath of the death of Agnes, the abandonment and rescue of the newborn child, and the uniting of Tom's family with Ellen's. We then follow Jack from Ellen's cave to Shiring and ultimately Earlscastle, where he helps Tom to find work. The main characters of Aliena and William Hamleigh are also introduced, and Philip delivers the letter to Bishop Waleran. In January 1136, he gains the priorship over Sub-prior Remegius with the support of Waleran. Also, at Waleran's instigation, the Hamleighs launch a surprise attack on Earlscastle. Philip and the monks then deal with the arrival of some 200 refugees from Earlscastle. Among them are Tom and his family group. Jack is again tasked with helping Tom to find work, and successfully destroys the old cathedral. Philip goes to Winchester to meet with Waleran, the Hamleighs, and Bishop Henry, all seeking the spoils of Shiring from King Stephen. With the Hamleighs, he uncovers evidence of Waleran's duplicity at the bishop's palace, and negotiates a separate agreement for building resources. The book ends with Philip and Tom discussing plans of the new cathedral, culminating in Tom's appointment as master builder. Jack then wanders around the building site where he meets and re-friends Aliena.

Book 2: Sowing the Wind

The game restarts with William and his manservant Walter holding Aliena and Richard prisoner at Earlscastle. William chafes while waiting for news from his father, and derides Aliena at every opportunity. Stealing William's horse, they arrive in Winchester seeking their father. There they befriend the wife of a wool-merchant and swear oaths to their dying father. They then unsuccessfully seek their mother's sister. Aliena decides to buy some wool directly from a shepherd for resale, and is invited to Kingsbridge by Philip. The story then jumps to 1141 with Jack and Aliena now a couple, albeit secretly. Building the cathedral continues despite concerns about costs and troubles with the Hamleighs over resources. Evidence of the Hamleighs' harsh rule becomes evident as well. Aliena heads off to the Shiring marketplace, and with the proceeds she visits Richard to resupply him with funds. Philip, accompanied by Aliena, meets the new earl, William, who demands an end to the priory's market, as Waleran continues to scheme and plot. Philip accompanies Richard to Lincoln, in hopes of an appeal to the king. Stephen initially denies his request, but after losing the Battle of Lincoln, both are captured. After William switches sides, Stephen decides to approve a fleece fair and market at Kingsbridge. In revenge, William raids the market and Aliena loses her livelihood again. Jack becomes a novice and Aliena informs him that she will marry Alfred. Jack then leaves to search for traces of his father in France. Aliena finds herself pregnant with Jack's child and leaves to search for him, and Alfred goes to Shiring to work on a rival cathedral.

Book 3: Eye of the Storm

The game picks up with a flashback scene of the ''White Ship'' disaster, then jumps to July 1142 as Aliena arrives in Normandy. In Tours, she finds evidence of Jack, then takes the Camino de Santiago. Meanwhile, Jack has befriended a Muslim merchant in Toledo, and Aliena traces him to Saint Denis, where they marry. The family return to Cherbourg, where he is recognised by his father's mother. Next, Philip reluctantly welcomes Jack's moneymaking statue as a means to fund the rebuilding program. Philip, Jack, Aliena, and Richard then travel to Shiring to warn Waleran and William against interfering in the renovations at Kingsbridge. The story moves forward 11 years to 1154 when England suffers from a prolonged drought and famine. After a crack appears, Jack finds Prior James' hidden chamber under the cathedral and the chalice his father was accused of stealing, but reveals his complicity in the cathedral fire. Meanwhile, after nearly 15 years, the civil war ends and Aliena befriends Elizabeth Hamleigh during a storm. Philip's book, written in the interim, causes controversy as outlaws, led by 'The Butcher', begin to organise in the quarry. Aliena infiltrates Earlscastle in hopes of ousting William, and stabs him as Richard and the outlaws attack. Walter then assists the transition of power. Waleran, meanwhile, arrests Philip, and at the trial before Bishop Henry in the cathedral, all the various plot lines of the game are drawn together through Prior Remegius. Waleran is arrested and Philip undergoes trial by fire. In the Epilogue, 20 years later, Philip and Waleran meet one last time.

Ulises becomes frustrated when he is stuck in a bus depot during a massive storm while his wife gives birth in nearby Mexico City. The elderly clerk, Martin, tells him that the storm has temporarily stopped the bus service. Intermittent broadcasts on Martin's radio report increasingly worse news, eventually revealing that the storm is suspected to be a worldwide phenomenon of unknown origin. Ulises attempts to call the hospital with the station's payphone, only to be disconnected after a brief exchange that only worries him further. Ulises asks to use Martin's phone, but Martin says he does not have an outside line.

Irene, a pregnant woman, takes shelter in the bus station. As she becomes flustered with Martin's disinterest in their plight, Ulises assists her and suggests she try to call for a taxi with the payphone. When she reports it is on the way, Ulises excitedly offers to share the fare with her. Ulises asks an older woman, Roberta, if she is also interested in sharing the fare, but she becomes agitated and responds in a language Ulises cannot understand. While they wait for the taxi, Irene goes to the restroom, where a cleaning woman, Rosa, surprises her and insists that she stay at the station. While Irene attempts to flee Rosa, Rosa has what appears to be an epileptic seizure.

At the same time, three more people arrive at the station: Alvaro, Gertrudis, and Gertrudis's son, Ignacio. Hearing Irene's calls for help, the others assist her. Martin, his face covered in bandages, comes out of his office with a rifle and blames everything on Ulises. Confused, Ulises says he is just a miner who is worried about his wife. As Martin continues to rant, Roberta has the same epileptic seizure as Rosa. Alvaro and Ulises disarm Martin. As Ulises ties up Martin, Alvaro assists Roberta. Alvaro, a medical student, becomes concerned when he sees Gertrudis inject Ignacio with an hypodermic needle. She insists Ignacio needs regular doses to remain calm.

After Alvaro excitedly recognizes Ignacio as a famous unsolved medical case, Ulises and Alvaro argue over their opposing political beliefs. All are stunned when Martin recovers and reveals that his face has morphed to look exactly like Ulises. Roberta, too, begins to show signs of facial hair similar to Ulises. Alvaro wrestles the rifle from Ulises and accuses him of being a government agent. Ulises insists he does not understand what the others are talking about, but they become panicked when Irene also transforms. Fearing that it is contagious, Alvaro attempts to leave the station, only to find the doors are both locked and bulletproof.

Alvaro and Irene investigate Martin's office at his urging. They find that all the photographs, statues, and posters now have Ulises's face. Ignacio locks Gertrudis and Martin in a back room, where Rosa has transformed and committed suicide. Ignacio shows Ulises a comic book about aliens who, instead of conquering Earth, steal humanity's individuality. Once everyone has transformed, humanity's memory is wiped, and the humans once again perceive themselves as individuals, not knowing they have lost their individuality. When Gertrudis escapes, she explains that Ignacio has caused the comic book to come true.

Ignacio reveals he was preventing them from leaving. When the others confront him, Ignacio uses his ability to change reality to stop them. As Ulises dies, he claims to not recognize the others' faces. In his wallet, they find a picture of Ulises, which they perceive as not looking like the bearded clone everyone else has transformed into; they surmise he was the first to transform. Irene dies during childbirth, and her baby has the cloned face. Ignacio collapses, and Roberta examines him. She says he made contact with the aliens and, not believing them to be real, mistakenly allowed them to control him. Gertrudis asks Roberta what to do next. Roberta replies, "Nothing."

Some time later, the police arrive and arrest Alvaro, blaming him for the deaths. Gertrudis and Ignacio leave for Tlatelolco, Mexico City. Narration announces that with few exceptions, Ignacio is the only one to remember or know what has happened, much like the comic book.

After her father Isaac's murder, Shaun Russell travels with her two children, daughter Jasmine and son Glover, to the house where she grew up. Shaun intends to settle her father's estate and sell the remotely located house, which has multiple security features, including a hand-held remote monitor. When they arrive, the security system is offline, but Jasmine soon reactivates it.

Unknown to the family, four offenders – Peter, Sam, Duncan, and the crime boss Eddie – were in the house before them, burglarizing it. Then Jasmine and Glover are taken hostage while Shaun is locked outside and narrowly escapes an ambush from Peter. Then another altercation sparks when Peter chases Shaun into the woods, where Peter gets knocked out by her. She leaves him bound and gagged, and uses the intercom to call the house. Eddie tells her they only came for the safe and the $4 million they know is inside; Isaac was under investigation by both the FBI and the District Attorney and Sam had learned that he liquidated his assets. The offenders have only 90 minutes from when they sever the phone lines before the security company contacts authorities, so they want to find it and leave quickly.

Concealed in the trees, Shaun sees Maggie, the realtor, arrive with paperwork for the house sale. Eddie greets her at the door, explaining Shaun had gone into town briefly, and attempts to invite her in. Maggie notices Shaun's purse on the table behind Eddie and knows something is wrong and politely declines. When Maggie turns her back on Eddie and leaves, Duncan ambushes her, and slits her throat, which outrages Eddie, as it means Shaun won't be as controllable.

Shaun eventually finds her way into the house, and gives instructions to Jasmine. When Eddie and Duncan next threaten the children, Jasmine leads them to the safe, which Shaun believes only Peter knows how to open. Shaun returns with Peter, a knife at his throat, demanding her family's release. Eddie shoots Peter dead, and Shaun flees back to the woods. Peter had a flash drive containing computer code on a necklace, which is all they needed to crack the safe. With all the money in a bag, Eddie now intends to burn the house down with the children in it to cover their escape, which Sam is uncomfortable with. Then Shaun creates a distraction by playing music with the portable hand-held security remote.

Duncan and Sam find Shaun on the roof during another rescue attempt. She hears a gunshot go off inside the house then jumps, pushing Sam off to his death, saving herself with the rope she tied to the roof. Then Shaun swipes Sam's truck keys sticking out of his pocket. Meanwhile, Jasmine frees herself and Glover, having cut through their bonds with a shard of glass from a broken lamp. The children escape the house and join their mother with Eddie in pursuit. Shaun uses Sam's truck to escape and mows down Duncan as they try to drive away, but Eddie blows out the truck tires, causing it to crash, foiling their escape.

Shaun and the kids lock themselves in the house, thinking it's all over, until they discover the bag of money is still inside. Shaun's husband Justin arrives unexpectedly and Eddie attacks him which convinces Shaun to unlock the door. He finds Shaun with the money bag, doused in gasoline and holding a lighter. If he kills her the lighter will ignite the bag and he loses. He unloads his gun and Shaun lets him take the bag. However, Duncan appears and stabs Eddie to death. He goes after Shaun and threatens to rape her and Jasmine. Jasmine arrives to help her mom, but Duncan overpowers her. Shaun swipes Duncan's knife and stabs him dead.

As police sirens and horns approach, Shaun goes outside to hold Justin and her kids close.

Do lives with her foster father on a farm in South Africa. Concerned that she is developing romantic feelings for him he sends her away to school in Switzerland.

The narrator, John McHaffie, the bookish 16-year-old son of a schoolmaster in Irvine, Ayrshire, "an overwrought lad and a Johnny-head-in-air", is loved by sensible Jenny Traquair, also 16, an orphan fostered in the McHaffie household. After an account of his childhood, the narrator describes the stir caused in his town in 1782–3 by the fanatical preaching in the Relief Church of the new minister, Hugh White, a fearsome "false Elijah" who has danced among the Shakers of Mother Ann Lee in America. White brings from Glasgow Elspeth Buchan, 44, the self-proclaimed 'Woman Clothed with the Sun' of ''Revelation''. At first John joins the Irvine rabble in persecuting Elspeth and the Buchanites, a revivalist sect who believe they are the elect living in the Last Days, shortly to be translated ''en bloc'' to Heaven without tasting death. In reality John is secretly fascinated by Buchan's teaching that wedlock is now abolished and that men and women may couple freely. Elspeth one day finds him spying, asks him why he persecutes her, takes his hands in hers and quotes some erotic lines from ''The Song of Songs''. He is struck by her fine eyes, coils of black hair and queenly bearing. "I read deep in ''Revelation'' and ''Daniel'', till my wits were completely upside down." His obsession grows when he sees her dragged out of town by the mob, "her clothes rent to ribbons", her "white shoulders shining in the torchlight". Common-sense Jenny, alarmed, tries reason and mockery to cure him of his interest in this "doited auld ale-wife". On a chance errand, John overtakes the exiles on their way (1785) into the wilderness, to, as they believe, "a place prepared of God, for a time, and times, and half a time". Elspeth takes him to one side, again quotes Scripture ("Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; also our bed is green") and kisses him. Jenny later rounds on him as a "daft young lad beglammered by an auld spaewife might be his ain grandmither". A few weeks later a letter arrives from Elspeth inviting John to join the Society in its new commune in Dumfriesshire. Believing the world about to end, John opens his Bible at random:

:The first time I opened, I read: "And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azov." This did not greatly guide me, so I tried a second time and found: "And they removed from Benejaahan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad. And they went from Hor-hagidgad and pitched in Jotbathah." Here again I did not feel much enlightened. So I tried a third time and opened the Book, as it happened, at ''First Thessalonians'', fifth and nineteenth: "Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things."

He steals away and joins the sect in the hills of Galloway. He finds its members "blithe as bees to work in the morning, blithe as bees when they returned at night," in the fullness of their faith that Heaven's gates stand already ajar. He perceives that they do indeed couple freely as the beasts that perish. Elspeth wastes little time in initiating the narrator, now 18. Next morning he feels bitterly that he has been false to Jenny; he would not like to think of her in such company. Among the faithful is Jean Gardner, "loveliest of lasses ... with great coils of auburn hair", whom "that ungodly young poet" Robert Burns had tried to lure from the sect. John notes many underhand infringements of the Society's rules by its male leaders. He describes the preparations for Ascension, as the "time for our translation heavenward was near at hand" : the forty-day fast, barricaded in their barn, and the sufferings it brings; the mockery of the locals; the desertion of one of their number and her calling in of the magistrates to save her starving children. Jenny meanwhile devises a stratagem to rescue John. She tells the Irvine magistrates (falsely) that John McHaffie made her pregnant before running off to join the Buchanites. He is summonsed and brought home; but in a few days he escapes and returns to the Society, just in time to witness the abortive Ascension on midsummer's dawn – a failure put down by Elspeth to lack of faith.

Months pass. The faithful (some forty) struggle on at a new location in Kirkcudbrightshire. John, his belief gone, stays on out of pity for and loyalty to Elspeth. Elspeth falls ill and dies. Hugh White buries her in secret and, producing proofs, tells her disciples that the body has been swept up to Heaven. John, disgusted, searches in secret for her grave. He discovers instead the graves of unwanted babies born to the sect. He is "resolved that this imposture should now finish" and calls in Sir Alexander Gordon, Sheriff of Kirkcudbright. In a torchlight scene, Sir Alexander forces Hugh White to disinter Elspeth's coffin. John surprises the gravediggers and accuses White, who defends himself: "Ye fool, canna ye understand that I could ill-use her and yet love her? That I couldna bear to see her shamed before the world? That they all should know, as I know now, that she was but a puir mortal body like us a' ?" Sir Alexander cautions White against further jugglery and advises him to return to America. The novella ends with Jenny arriving to ask John to come home.

In a coda we learn that the narrator returned to Irvine, took Sir Alexander's advice to go up to University of Edinburgh to read Theology, married Jenny (who vets his sermons before he preaches them), settled down as Minister of the Kirk, and dedicated his first sermon to Love.

In the city of Sydney in Australia, a retired detective has been kidnapped. The detective's niece looks for leads to rescue him.

Gene Autry is a private investigator for a banking association, on the trail of two bank robbers, Al Bartlett and Trot Lucas. Bartlett and Lucas waylay Larry Taylor, a doctor on his way to the town of White Water to treat a train engineer who was wounded by the bank robbers, and Taylor's assistant, Helen Ellis. Stealing the couple's horses, they leave them stranded.

Autry rides out from White Water heading towards Los Robles, where the doctor was summoned from, to see what is keeping him. Coming upon the couple, he lets Larry ride Champion, Autry's horse, into White Water to get help, while he stays with Helen for protection. Larry returns shortly and the three ride into White Water.

In Los Robles, Helen's father, a prospector, enlists the help of a local assayer, Ben Luber, to evaluate the quality of some ore he has extracted. Ben tells Tom Ellis that he will need mining equipment to mine the ore, and his willing to lend him the money for it, in exchange for an interest in the mine. Ben and his brother, Carl, are partners with Bartlett and Lucas. When they go up to the hideout of the two bank robbers, they see Autry approaching, trying to track down the two bandits. Ben releases the two horses which were stolen from Doc Taylor and Helen, which Autry takes off after. Ben and Carl follow, and overpower Autry, who they accuse of stealing the horses, and take him into Los Robles. Autry is quickly cleared, and enlists the help of an old friend, Mike, to continue the search outside of town for Bartlett and Lucas. While camping out that night, they see Ben driving back into town late at night.

The following day, Autry publicly confronts Ben about his trip the previous night. Flustered, Ben makes up a story about two of his horses being stolen (which he has actually taken up to Lucas and Bartlett). When Sheriff Phillips raises a posse to go after the non-existent thieves, Ben sends them in the wrong direction. When Autry refuses to join the posse, Phillips has him put in jail for safe-keeping, until the posse returns. However, Bartlett robs the town's bank since the sheriff is away, and Helen witnesses it and follows him to his hideout in the hills.

Autry is released from jail, so he can track the bank robber. He arrives at Bartlett's cabin in the hills just as Helen is discovered. In the ensuing gunfight Bartlett kills his brother and Lucas, thinking that his dead brother's body will pass for him. When Kitty shows up to identify Bartlett's body, claiming to be his wife, Autry figures out that the dead man is not Bartlett.

Ben, knowing where Bartlett is now hiding out, offers to turn him in for the reward, but Bartlett figures out the doublecross and kills Ben. Autry and Tom Ellis ride after Bartlett, catching up to him as he boards a train in an attempt to escape. Bartlett is killed, and Autry allows Helen and Tom to have the reward money.

When a policeman is murdered by a car bomb, Lt. Andy Doyle is given the case to investigate. On the victim he finds the name of a woman, Francine Norman, who is murdered shortly thereafter, strangled and mutilated. Doyle determines that there is a connection between the two deaths. Norman was a former actress who owned a modeling agency that is now run by Darlene Adams.

Doyle finds many suspects, as Norman was universally hated. He uncovers that the agency was being used as a front for a blackmailing racket most likely run by Norman's love interest Jim Haddix, the owner of a local construction company. However, all the evidence of the blackmail ring is destroyed when the modeling school is destroyed by fire, with the janitor as the main suspect.

As shown in the series finale, Shawn, Gus and Juliet relocated to San Francisco, where they remain three years later. After Juliet's SFPD partner Sam Sloane is shot, Shawn and Gus attempt to find out who was responsible and why it happened. They soon learn that a mysterious organization is threatening the reputation, safety, and well-being of Juliet (who wound up needing to use unconventional and questionable but still-lawful methods to put away perpetrators, as well as the individual who snitched on all of them). At first, Juliet is reluctant to allow anyone to help her out with her problem, but an unpleasant development connected with her partner's shooting convinces her she needs Shawn's help.

Meanwhile, Shawn refuses to get married until he can locate his grandmother's engagement ring, which he had taken without permission from his dad's house, and which had in turn been stolen from him while he was in the very act of proposing to Juliet in San Francisco three years earlier. His efforts to retrieve the ring land him in hot water with an individual known as the premiere person fencing stolen goods in the Bay Area, with surprising results.

Chief Vick, up for consideration for a position as police commissioner, is not aware that her daughter has fallen in with the wrong crowd. Gus, meanwhile, lands in hot water with his boss as a result of Shawn bringing his business to Gus's workplace, and is soon blown away when he has a run-in with an attractive woman who uses all the best moves in his own playbook. While working around all of these complications, the group encounters old friends, discover surprising pieces of information, and come to some major determinations about their futures.

Aslak is a young boy living with his mother, Astrid, in a hilly sheep farming country adjacent to forested national parkland.

Aslak and his older friend Lasse venture into a farm building and discover the grisly remains of several sheep. From a hidden spot, they overhear Lasse’s father say to another man that "he is killing just for fun" will hunt the killer to death and claim it was a dog attack. Lasse plants the notion in Aslak’s mind that the killer is a werewolf.

That evening, Astrid receives a visit from police seeking her eldest son, a destructive addict who had been ejected from the family home many months before. He is now a person of interest concerning violent crimes committed. Panicked, she leaves on an unexplained errand; Aslak, alone in the house all evening, seeks comfort with Rapp, his beloved dog.

Lasse and Aslak find more eviscerated sheep carcasses in the fields. Later, conflating the matter of the missing brother with that of the savaged sheep, Aslak muses that his brother may be the werewolf. He enters his missing brother’s room. Astrid, who has kept the room as it was before the lost son left, finds him there and reprimands him for intruding. Stung, Aslak asks permission to spend the night at Lasse’s home. Astrid reluctantly agrees, although concerned about the difference in their ages.

After lights out, the boys discuss older brothers and the possible location of the "monster that kills for fun". Lasse expresses his belief that it lives in the nearby forest. In the morning, they go there; Lasse lifts Aslak over the fence and into the woods. After a brief foray, Aslak is spooked by the sight of a long-dead sheep and flees back to the open field.

Lasse's father has brought sheep into an outbuilding for their protection for the night. Lasse shows Aslak bundles of poisoned meat in the barn: bait to be distributed in the forest. The three watch as the bonfire consumes the bodies of the sheep.

Back home, at breakfast, Aslak watches as the police pull in once again, and his mother goes outside to meet them. As children’s radio programming plays in the background, Aslak sees his mother collapse and runs to hide. From his position, he hears Astrid scream in anguish.

At the police station, Aslak draws a picture, watched over by a policewoman. Bloody images of dead sheep hang on the wall of an adjacent office, visible through the door frame close by. Astrid laments her decision to evict her elder son and blames the police for failing to prevent his crime spree and death: "Just another dead junkie. But he was my son!"

Aslak again explores his brother's room, appropriating a kerosene lighter. Then, accompanied by Rapp, he explores a derelict caravan. Rapp, alarmed by something in the forest, runs off in pursuit. Aslak races after him but is unable to catch up. He returns home without Rapp.

Astrid assures Aslak that if Rapp has not returned by morning, she will help search for him. However, Rapp has still not returned in the morning, and Astrid is unrousable; Aslak sets off to explore with a small backpack and a jam sandwich. In the forest, Aslak encounters more sheep remains but forges onward. Through the hours, there is fog, rain, an elk from which Aslak flees and, falling, injures his leg. As night falls, Aslak is completely lost. Screaming foxes make fearsome sounds in the darkness as Aslak crouches under the bole of a tree against an embankment down which rills run. Rain falls, and Aslak is exhausted and afflicted with exposure. The sandwich falls from his hand, rinsed by the rain as he sinks into unconsciousness.

In the cold, damp morning, weak and exhausted by hunger, Aslak continues to search for Rapp. He sees a strange sight and hears a creaking, cracking sound of inexplicably moving branches. Traversing a rise, Aslak sees a large tree moving weightily downstream, catching on and damaging trees growing on the banks.

He finds a rowboat. Aslak climbs in and is carried downstream through increasingly uncanny environs with scudding mists and gloom. The boat fetches up against a bank. Aslak sees a dark, motionless hooded figure watching his arrival through trees across an inlet. He wearily approaches a derelict, unlit house.

The resident appears as a mythical being through Aslak's delirium of exposure and exhaustion, seemingly winking in and out of existence. Aslak enquires whether he is the monster. Not directly denying this, the man ruminates that what men do not understand, they fear. He offers comfort while Aslak sleeps again. The man carries Aslak back to the boat, lays him in it, and pushes it from the bank to drift away.

The boat finds the bank once more. Hearing barking, Aslak runs, calling Rapp. He is found by a Red Cross search party with dogs and taken to his mother.

Home again, refreshed by sleep, Astrid fondly greets Aslak. Lasse arrives with Rapp, found in a barn. Aslak and Rapp play together in the field, but Aslak continues to worry about the forest and the monster.

Later, Aslak watches as Lasse’s father repairs the hole in the fence leading into the forest and as the poisoned bait is distributed. Aslak, no longer afraid of the woods or the monster— possibly his brother, a werewolf— returns under cover of darkness to gather up the poisoned bait and reopen the fence.

At full moon, a wolf howls in the night.

Aslak and Astrid dress for the elder son's funeral in the morning. Astrid regrets that there had been no time for Aslak to get to know his brother.

The final shot shows Aslak, still dressed in black, motionless on his brother’s bed.

The recruit Saro Franzese befriends the sergeant of his squad, Gianni Tricarico, who immediately becomes infatuated with him. The soldier does not welcome or understand his advances, and, after a lively evening at a disco, criticizes the ambiguous and aggressive behavior of his friend. They leave together in Gianni's car, apparently intending to go back to their barracks, but Gianni drives to a road frequented by transsexuals, many of whom he seems to know well. Saro is not interested in the scene and leaves the car, whereupon he accepts a ride in another car with apparently only the driver on board. But Saro comes back soon after being beaten for trying to defend himself and after being raped by the driver.

Saro, wounded and distraught, roams around until he is picked up by Gianni, who, after learning that Captain Silvio Roatta, the commander of their battalion, was one of Saro's attackers, brings him to the hospital of their barracks with the intention to hide what happened; but a day later, a doctor tells him that the soldier cannot stay without official permission and therefore is forced to leave. Gianni then takes Saro to the house of his sister, Paola, where she lives with her husband Mario and their two children. The couple want to know why Saro is in such condition, but Saro refuses to explain and only after a violent outburst does he burst into tears and tell the truth.

Gianni reveals that he has jotted down the licence number of the car that Saro got into on the night of the rape and Saro finds that the licence number is correct. Saro and his sister go to a car showroom, where Saro recognizes the driver: it was Vittorio Scarpa, a sex maniac who is heavily in debt and who because of the aforementioned reasons has a difficult and painful relationship with his wife Gabriella and his son Fabrizio. Once recognized, Scarpa is reported to the police and Gianni's captain subpoenas him to appear as a witness.

Scarpa tells Roatta about the trial, but the captain, who is engaged to Laura, the mayor's daughter, not only already knew about the trial, but also knows the identity of the witness. He reassures Scarpa that the sergeant depends on him; in fact, ever since the moment Gianni arrives, he has been exerting pressure on him and blackmailing him into letting Scarpa continue his life, which means bringing transsexuals into a secret room inside the car showroom where he enjoys his secret pleasures, and also into reporting Saro for slander. After the beginning of the trial process, Paola invites Gianni to dinner to ask for an explanation, but Gianni replies that he is not going to testify against his captain and, when he is left alone with Saro after a heated fight, confesses to being raped when he was thirteen years old and asserts that he will not support him in any case.

The military tribunal has already started the inquiry process and Captain Antonio Marsili is in charge. He first interrogates Saro, who confirms the accusation but is informed that adding to the accusation of slander, he is also subjected to proceedings for retention and for immoral conduct. Later Gianni is called to support the claim that on the night of the alleged rape, he only saw Saro leaving the barracks; after that the captain asks him if there is a relationship between him and Saro, having once seen them "joking" in the barracks. Captain Marsili then informs him of the proceedings that Saro is subjected to; he also summons a carabiniere who is uncertain about the dynamics of the whole incident and tells him that the investigation will still be difficult.

In the meantime, things are not going well in the barracks, either: in fact, Saro is provoked by his fellow soldiers, and Gianni defends him by making him aware of the dangers that run inside the military structure. But the younger man obstinately decides not to drop the charge and even spits in the sergeant's face, whereupon Gianni strikes him by breaking his leg. Marsili visits Saro in the hospital, but the soldier refuses to tell him how the incident happened. When everything seems to work in disfavor for Saro, Scarpa's family unexpectedly offer help: at the hearing, Scarpa's wife bursts into tears, postponing her testimony, while his son breaks his father's alibi by revealing that Scarpa is actually homosexual, addicted to alcohol, and has a violent nature, so that the thirteen hospital admissions of his mother that have come to light are now officially attributed to "domestic incidents". After the hearing, the attitude of Roatta's fiancée, who demands an explanation from him out of suspicion, has also changed, but Roatta punches her with his fist.

Captain Roatta, when he is back in the barracks, talks with Gianni and says that he knows Gianni's attack at Saro was merely a way to turn the younger soldier against him. From that moment onwards, he exerts more pressure on the sergeant, withholding freedom from the platoon and forcing the soldiers to undergo back-breaking night-time drills to turn Gianni's comrades against him. After receiving complaints from Corporal Cau, Roatta states that to make things go back to the way they were, problems will have to be "solved" among themselves. But after meeting with Scarpa, Roatta informs him that if he is left all alone, he will testify against him.

Marsili, in the meantime, continues to collide with Gianni over the sergeant's silence on the subject, threatening to put him on trial as well. Gianni continues to deny the accusation, but reveals that two years before, Roatta's driver, the soldier Granelli, went on leave because of neurasthenia. Once the Captain finishes talking with the younger man, he meets Roatta and tells him that he has taken cognizance of the incident, that it was the sergeant who informed him, and that he will do everything possible to expel him from the army, but Roatta is reassured by the mayor that Saro's lawyer, who is also the mayor's friend, has stepped down from the post, and that, also for an electoral motive, he will support him in spite of his daughter's suspicions.

However, the inquiry continues and Marsili, having been convinced of Roatta's guilt by now, employs a lawyer for Saro. At the same time, Gianni is attacked and stabbed in the shower by three masked soldiers and just then the intervention of Marsili, who is drawn to the scene by Gianni's screams, saves him. Once he is sent to the hospital, Gianni tells Marsili how the attack happened and confesses that he has been behaving angrily towards Saro. The Captain listens to his confession and gets what he needs to incriminate the culprits, but specifies that if Gianni confirms everything, he will be removed from the army. The sergeant consents and, when he is left alone with Saro, apologizes and asks for a kiss.

Scarpa, upon his family's denunciation, is arrested for maltreatment, fraud, and for falsification of accounts, having been heavily indebted to the car dealer. The Captain calls for the remission of Roatta from the army, avoiding in this way the rigidity of the military law, but, disappointed in the high esteem that the officer was placed in, he wishes that the civil law will be inflexible. Marsili, praised by the commander, turns down the promotion nevertheless, remembering Roatta's foreign missions and claiming that he does not want to build his career on the destruction of another officer. At the trial, Gianni confesses everything he has previously confided in the Captain, including the activity of male prostitution. Once he is released, Gianni is greeted by Saro again as his friend; while Roatta, who shows up at the hearing in a camouflage suit, commits suicide with a bayonet before the astonished judge.

The game centers around Bum-bo, a homeless man that happily lives in a box behind a house on a hill with his trash and his money. Bum-bo hears a voice from above; someone steals his money and disappears down a hole. Bum-bo grabs his trash and jumps down the hole, fighting through hordes of enemies and bosses in pursuit of his money.

The game has multiple endings; each one reveals more of the story: Bum-bo finds several treasure chests containing Bum-bos unlike himself (unlocking them as additional characters); he eventually finds a trap door and enters it. After clearing the enemies and boss inside, Bum-bo finally retrieves his money, but hears something mean and huge.

The narration is suddenly interrupted by a woman's voice asking Isaac who he's talking to; the game then zooms out of the cardboard box setting to show a child's room, revealing that the entire world of Bum-bo was a fictional creation that Isaac had been playing in, created by Isaac's father. Isaac's mother berates Isaac for playing the game, repeatedly stating that Isaac's father had left them and that it was just the two of them. The game's epilogue is a flashback from when Isaac's father was still around and the two of them were playing Bum-bo; his father narrates the ending of their game in which a slot machine appears and Bum-bo gambles his money.

Depending on the performance of the player's run, 2 outcomes happen. If Bum-Bo loses, he hangs himself. If Bum-bo wins, he gets rich and rules over his kingdom. Isaac's father explains that the world of Bum-bo will continue to grow and grow, and will always be there for Isaac as a way to escape from the real world.

After touring factory locations in Mansfield, Ohio for her father's company, Hong Kong-based Zhang Innovations, Daya Zhang and her entourage are abducted by mercenaries despite her bodyguard and head of security Bao Yung attempting to fight them off. The kidnappers leave Yung unconscious with a USB flash drive addressed to security expert Ray Breslin.

In Los Angeles, Breslin crosses paths with Shen Lo, a former Zhang Innovations bodyguard. Both men are after Daya's father Wu Zhang, whose company is responsible for building covert prisons around the world. They meet with Breslin's associates – his girlfriend Abigail, Hush, and Jules – when Yung arrives with the flash drive. It contains a video message from Lester Clark, Jr., Daya's kidnapper and the son of Breslin's former partner; in business with Zhang, Lester, Sr. betrayed Breslin and was sent to his death.

Breslin reaches out to Trent DeRosa, an associate, and they trace the video to a prison compound in Latvia known as “Devil's Station”. Abigail is also abducted, and Wu, having arrived in Mansfield to meet with police, receives a video call from Lester. Seeking revenge for his father's downfall, Lester demands a $700 million ransom, and executes a hostage. Breslin, DeRosa, Jules, Shen, and Yung depart for Latvia to rescue Daya and Abigail.

When Lester threatens the prisoners and kills a hostage, Wong, Zhang Innovations' technology analyst, agrees to give him access to Zhang's technology. Hush surveils the prison by drone, and its thermal imaging camera reveals Lester has created his own black site. Breslin infiltrates the compound through the sewers while Shen and Yung approach the outer walls. Alerted to their presence, Lester leaves Daya atop the wall as bait. Realizing Lester is leading them to a trap, Shen tries to hold position and wait for Breslin, but Yung charges recklessly ahead, and he and Shen are subdued by land mines and captured. Lester reveals the flash drive was a tracker that led his men to Abigail, and deduces that Shen and Daya are in love. He shoots Yung and taunts Breslin by video call before cutting Abigail's throat.

Breslin proceeds through the compound, killing several of Lester's henchmen. Shen steals a guard's stun gun as he is taken to the cells, using it to start a fire; he melts his restraints and subdues the guards in the smoke. He frees Daya, but they are confronted by more guards. DeRosa arrives, killing the guards with incendiary rounds. In the ensuing chaos, Shen kills Lester's remaining henchman Silva in a hand-to-hand fight, while rescuing Wong. Trapped in a shootout with Lester in the upper cells, Breslin is wounded and disarmed, but manages to overpower Lester before slitting his throat and throwing him off the walkway, avenging Abigail.

Returning to Mansfield, Daya coldly greets her father, now aware of the true nature of his business, before leaving with Shen. DeRosa comforts Breslin over Abigail's death, urging him to forgive himself, while at the same time perusing Breslin to join him in South America; claiming that Breslin owes him one and Breslin decides to retire.

During the ending credits, Yung is revealed to have survived but heavily wounded. He is seen crawling and stumbling through the sewers and proceeds to escape by himself.

A second person seen wearing security overalls, carrying a semi automatic weapon drops through a central shaft from the ceiling into the tunnel sewers, just moments after Yung had already been seen arriving into that same Tunnel from a side shaft seemingly stalking Yung.

The game's plot is inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos. In Ancient Egypt, dark worshippers contained some evil spells inside an ancient scroll to unleash monsters upon the world. In Alexandria in the 1920s, the scroll is given to the player by a strange lady.

Nakos, a racist Greek nationalist, is unemployed and still lives with his parents at age 38. He tracks the increasing number of immigrants in his apartment building with disgust. His friend Billy, a tattoo artist, falls in love with African singer Tereza, but she wants to leave Greece. Tarek, a Syrian doctor, is also looking to flee the country with his daughter. Their stories merge when Tereza and Tarek's plans to escape are inadvertently thwarted by Nakos.

A "micro-budgeted indie", ''From the Head'' was touted as the directorial debut of a “veteran strip club bathroom attendant” (Griffith). The movie portrays portraits of the men and women who populate a strip club and their effect on the resident bathroom attendant's psyche.

The player takes the role of a conductor named Edward Jones, who is working as a train operator 106 years after a catastrophe dubbed "The First Visitation". One day, Jones is tasked with taking an experimental train to pick up a special cargo. However, during the journey, Jones quickly discovers that he is in the midst of "The Second Visitation", as cities and towns are attacked by an unknown force, and their inhabitants are transformed into aggressive monsters by some unknown infection. Eventually, Jones picks up the power source and central processor for the Guardian, a massive war machine being built to protect humanity from the Second Visitation. Jones finally reaches the city of Metropole where the Guardian is being built and delivers the cargo.

On the way home, Jones picks up a mysterious stranger named Arthur Vane who rides with him and speaks with him in cryptic clues. Vane reveals to Jones that the infection that is transforming people into monsters is not a virus, but a medicine that was meant to make people stronger, and that the radiation the train's engine is generating is protecting Jones from its effects. Shortly after, the train breaks down, forcing Jones to make the rest of the journey on foot. Along the way, he passes the destroyed wreck of the Guardian and is accidentally exposed to poison gas. When he finally reaches his hometown, he discovers that the people who are apparently immune to the infection are already rebuilding society, but he himself is showing symptoms of infection. Jones manages to reach his home but succumbs to the infection before he can see his daughter. Vane then arrives and promises to look after Jones' daughter before mercifully killing him.

The Only Traitor

The player takes the role of a doomsday prepper named Peter who aims to reach a shelter when the Second Visitation hits. He escapes his apartment in a car and begins traveling cross country to reach the shelter, stopping at towns along the way to scavenge supplies. However, since the car can only carry one passenger, Peter must make decisions on which survivors he should bring with him and which to leave behind.

Peter eventually reaches the shelter, but is dismayed to discover that it has already been sealed shut. Peter continues on in hopes of finding another shelter at the city of Ristol. However, the Ristol shelter has also already been sealed shut. With no other choice, Peter decides to travel further west to the remote L-abs shelter. However, on the way there, Peter is caught in a car crash and forced to proceed on foot. He sneaks his way through a bandit camp where the bandits have been capturing and rounding up survivors. When he is discovered, Arthur Vane appears and helps him escape, but ends up transported to a surreal landscape that defies the laws of space and time. Eventually, Peter encounters Vane again, and Vane offers him a place in the L-abs shelter, but Peter must murder Edward Jones first. Vane then leaves Peter to be rescued by Jones, who offers him a seat on his train.

Ian Smith and his girlfriend Samantha “Sam” Shaw head to a remote beach for a romantic trip for New Year's Eve. On the way, Ian meets Scotty “German” Shepard, a local man who tells them about a nice spot near a waterfall. When they arrive there, they set up camp next to an abandoned campsite with no trace of its occupants.

After a few nights, they become concerned when they discover a toddler on his own in the woods. Meanwhile elsewhere, German tells his associate Todd “Chook” Fowler about Ian and Sam, and the two begin to make plans. Chook finds Ian and Sam with the baby stuck at the campsite parking lot with a flat tire. He persuades Ian to go and search for the missing family, while Sam stays at the car with the child.

Three days earlier, the Voss-Baker family - Robert Baker, Margaret Voss, their 16-year-old daughter Emily, and their infant son, Ollie - had been camping on the beach. German and Chook showed up at the campsite and kidnapped Robert, Margaret, and Emily, but are unaware of Ollie’s presence. German and Chook raped Margaret and Emily, and tortured the family before murdering them all. After spotting Ollie in a photo on Emily's cell phone, they returned to search for him but he had wandered off.

Back to the present, Chook leads Ian to where he and German left the Bakers' bodies. When they arrive, they discover that Margaret didn't die from her injuries. Ian tries to save her but Chook shoots her dead. Chook then explains his intent to rape Sam so Ian charges forward and knocks him down, then flees into the woodland. Meanwhile, German arrives at the campsite to find Sam alone with Ollie. German tries to abduct Sam from the car but she slashes his wrist and escapes with Ollie. German chases them along with his dog, Banjo.

While hunting Ian, Chook mistakenly shoots German, then kills him to put him out his misery. Nearby, Ollie begins to cry, giving away his and Sam’s location. Chook slams Ollie into the ground, seemingly killing him, and takes Sam hostage. He tells Ian he will be waiting at the killing ground where the Bakers are, and they leave.

Ian comes out of hiding and notices German's car keys in his pocket. Meanwhile at the killing ground, Chook grows impatient that Ian hasn't come to save Sam so he threatens to rape her. He then hears Ian escaping in German's truck and drags Sam off with him as he attempts to intercept him. When they pass German's corpse, Sam notices that Ollie is missing. While in Chook's car, Sam fights with him, leading to him crashing into a tree, knocking them both unconscious.

As night falls, Ian arrives at the police station and asks for help. He accompanies two officers to the campsite. Sam awakens in the wreck of the car with her hands tied to the steering wheel. The officers spot the wreckage and attempt to help, but Chook from afar shoots them dead. Chook also shoots Ian in the arm, holds him hostage, and demands Sam drive him to a safe location. Sam asks Ian if Ollie is okay, but Ian tells her that Ollie was never with him.

While driving away from the woodland, Sam violently crashes the vehicle. Chook manages to crawl away from the wreckage, and scuffles with Sam before she smashes his head with a rock, finally killing him. Later on, Sam wakes up in a hospital and leaves her bed to find Ian recovering from his injuries in another room.

Ollie is shown to have crawled away from German's corpse, and Banjo sits silently guarding him. His final fate remains unknown.

In a society is governed by the New Machine, individuals have lost their faces, and the RealTime calendar has destroyed their understanding of history or the future. A woman (the protagonist, played by Luksch) wakes up one day to discover she has a face; subsequently, she receives an anonymous letter that reveals the existence of her past life, and her child. Panicking, she enlists the help of Spectral Children to evade Overseers and confront the authority of the New Machine. In the film's ambivalent conclusion, she appears to defeat the New Machine by unveiling the power of the human face and recovering temporality.

The film was based on the 1984 novel of the same name by David Nevin, based on the life of 19th century explorer and politician John C. Frémont.Hevesi, Dennis (29 March 2011).

John Wayne Cleaver is again flying solo on his vendetta against the supernatural killers called "the Withered." He follows a lead to the town of Lewisville, Arizona in search of a demon named "Rain." His first stop is the funeral of a woman he suspects might be a victim of a Withered. There, he is approached by an odd, homeless-looking woman who tells him to "Run from Rain." He lands a job as the local mortuary's make-up artist and makes friends with his boss, Margo, and fellow employee, Jasmyn. When townspeople begin to die under strange circumstances, John's gig allows him to examine the bodies of the victims: a woman who drowned nowhere near water, and a boy who was burned alive nowhere near fire. Then, while walking by the local canal, John is almost drowned by a man who claims " the Dark Lady" was sent to kill him. He is rescued by a few men, one of which is a demon named Assu, who has the power to burn things. He craves cold, so John takes him back to the mortuary’s freezer. There, a fire ignites and Assu is disintegrated into demonic black sludge. John tries to clean it all up, worried that if it is discovered, the FBI will track him down. With this in mind, he takes extra precautions, including arming the mortuary doors with motion detectors and finding a new place to stay.

The mortuary receives the body of the burned boy, and John finds two confounding hand prints on his arms that were left unscathed. Further contributing to his confusion, another drowned body is found at a junkyard out in the desert, with strange splash marks nearby. Then, Agent Mills of the FBI shows up in Lewisville. Immediately he inspects the mortuary and finds some of the black sludge left behind from the fire. Knowing that Mills will trace this evidence back to him, John runs out of town along the highway; but before he can escape, the same homeless-looking woman from the funeral attacks him. She flees when a car shows up, and John climbs inside before he realizes the driver is Mills. Exhausted from being attacked, John gives in and resigns himself to being in the custody of the FBI. Once they arrive at Mills’ motel, they find the dead body of a fellow agent displayed in the room. Then, Mills – whose actual name is Sam Harris – is taken over by the Dark Lady. He attacks the only other remaining FBI agent in Lewisville, but John manages to knock him out with a shower rod before any more damage can be done. Then, he immediately goes to tell his friends at the mortuary of the impending danger, but upon arrival learns that Margo is the Dark Lady. Thousands of years ago, she gave up her unborn child to become a "goddess," and ever since, she has used her powers to take care of young wayward souls, trying to make up for her loss. The Dark Lady tells John that there are only three Withered left, and that she is trying to create more to keep their legacy intact. John thinks about something Jasmyn once said – that everyone is worth saving – and tries to help the Withered by telling them the rules he put in place for himself to control his dangerous impulses. Realizing just how much he has changed himself, he exhorts them to follow a similar path and curb their lust for blood.

The FBI come, and a terrible array of violence breaks out. The homeless woman shows up and uses her powers to drown multiple agents, as well as another Withered that attacks John. Margo reveals that she turned this woman, Dana, into a demon sixty years ago as part of her plan to create more monsters. Because of her misery and desire to end the cycle of killing, Dana then drowns herself. Once Margo is the only Withered left, John convinces Agent Harris to let him stay with her to keep her in check; this way, a government execution will not be in her future. Five months later, John remains in Lewisville with Margo, helping her contain her darker side as well as continuing to improve himself. One day, Harris shows up with Margaret and Lauren, John’s aunt and sister, respectively. John’s story ends with him befriending the demon queen and a tearful, joyful reunion with the only family he has left.

On the planet Sangfalmadore, the player is recruited to the Sphere Training Corps. An earthquake has trapped the STC's Colonel Matt Ridley, leaving it up to the player to rescue him.

Violet's (Sanaa Lathan) mother Paulette (Lynn Whitfield) always insists she look perfect. Paulette straightens her natural hair, but it takes time and she is occasionally burned by the iron. At a pool, a boy dares Violet to hold her breath longer underwater, so she jumps in, despite her mother's protests. Underwater, her hair instantly becomes naturally wild and frizzy. The other children start to tease her and call her chia pet, and her horrified mother takes her home.

As an adult, Violet is seemingly perfect: a successful advertising executive, has had her doctor boyfriend Clint (Ricky Whittle) for two years, and wears her hair long and straight (with great effort).

Her relationship with her mother continues to be close as she helps keep Violet the vision of perfection. She and Violet's father (Ernie Hudson) recently became estranged after he quit his job and became a model.

Violet expects Clint to propose on her birthday. After she accidentally gets sprayed by a neighbor’s kids, she urgently visits a hairdresser. The salonist's daughter erroneously causes some of Violet’s hair to fall out using relaxer. Causing a scene, Violet insults her afro as she was partly responsible for the incident, and then gets a weave.

At her birthday dinner, Clint gives Violet a dog instead of a ring, so she is very disappointed and confronts him later at home. He says she’s always perfect and he doesn’t really know her, including her favorite things. He also says being with her is like a two year first date. Violet breaks up with him, and he leaves.

As Violet goes shopping she notices Zoe shoplifting and drags her out of the store but gets stopped by a security guard. Zoe’s dad comes and is furious over what Zoe’s is doing but Violet thinks there is something wrong. Will says how would she know what going on and leaves.

One night, Violet dyes her hair blonde, goes out with her friends, and starts drinking. As she gets drunk, she goes home with a man. Thinking she’s wild, they start foreplay, but they hit heads, leaving him bleeding. Violet leaves him and it rains so her hair starts to frizz and goes to see Clint at the hospital, only to find him with a new woman. Devastated, she goes home and gets drunk. Then she cries in the mirror and shaves her head. The next morning, Violet is horrified with what she has done. Wearing a scarf on her head, she cries in the bathroom at work. A woman there suggests she come to her support group, which she later discovers is for cancer survivors. Violet apologizes, but the group leader gives her words of support.

Over time, Violet grows confident with her new look. She begins dating Will (Lyriq Bent), from the salon, and befriending his daughter, Zoe (Daria Johns). Violet and Will quickly grow close, and he attends her mother's Fourth of July party. While there, he is disrespected by Paulette, who makes condescending comments about him and his career choice. He breaks it off with Violet, telling her to sort herself out.

After losing a pitch for an ad campaign with diverse women to a male colleague's idea using blonde models, Violet quits her job. At home, she dances to upbeat music while Clint, who is picking up his things is watching and appreciating her loosening up. As it has been months since the breakup, Clint is interested in Violet and apologizes, saying he never wanted her to think she wasn’t beautiful. As the dog peed on Clint’s shirt, she allows him to shower. Then as she is joining him, they have sex. The next morning, Violet is preparing breakfast, but Clint insists she sits at the table, and cuts onions. He proposes with an onion ring and she says yes. Both she and her mom are excited, and Violet’s friends are told the wedding is in three months. Violet, who has stayed connected with Zoe, invites her to the engagement party.

Clint requests Violet straighten her hair to meet his parents, and Paulette helps straighten it. At the party, Violet meets Clint’s parents, feels pressured and uneasy, and goes off alone. Her heels are killing her, so she takes them off. Everyone is seated and waiting for her, so the parents look for her. Finding her, Violet says Zoe would go barefoot and knows who she is while she doesn’t. Going barefoot to the pool, surrounded by tables of people, she jumps in and invites others. Zoe, Violet’s two girlfriends, and others join her. Violet’s father grabs her mother and they jump in, and make up with a kiss. Clint looks on, disappointedly.

Some days later, Violet and Will are in the conference room of an ad agency, and she is pitching Will’s plant-based hair products for women’s natural hair. After the meeting, Violet and Will walk out together, and after speaking briefly, Violet walks away confidently.The film ends.

An explosion reveals an obliterated corner of a room, and the remnants of several objects. They begin to reconstruct themselves, becoming books, a doll, a stuffed owl, and a trumpet. Books and furniture reassemble themselves. Finally, a bomb pieces itself back together and explodes, reducing the items to debris once more.

A hopeless romantic thinks he's found true love with an older woman, only to learn that she's married and that his fling is merely an instrument of revenge against her neglectful husband.

High school gymnast Do-hyun (Kim Jung-hyun) is ordered to perform community service as a punishment for fighting. While serving as a library assistant, he meets Soo-hyun (Chae Seo-jin), a schoolgirl who borrows a lot of books. Finding her attractive, he talks to her and they gradually grow closer. This love between a teenage boy and girl looks cheerful enough, but they are both suffering in their own way. Each of them face new choices. It's a teenage love story and coming-of-age film in which the bright and wholesome protagonists bring joy throughout.

In 19th century Estonia, a mythical village is inhabited by personified Black Death, spirits, werewolves and the devil himself. The film opens with a supernaturally-powered automaton called a kratt stealing a cow. It drags the cow by its chains and lifts it up in the air, depositing it at the farm of its master, the villager called Raak. Fashioned out of odds, ends, and farm tools, kratts need to be imbued with a soul in order to do their masters' bidding: primarily stealing livestock from other villagers, aside from menial farm labor. Villagers whistle for the devil at a crossroads in order to arrange a deal: their human soul, to buy a soul for their kratt. However, wily villagers such as Raak continually trick the devil by using the sap of three black currants in lieu of blood to sign the devil's contract.

The villagers are driven by a need to survive the harsh winter, and resort to all manner of thievery and deceit to accomplish their ends. They steal from one another, and trade their souls for the kratt in order to keep their souls from being stolen, too. They even fool the Plague - first disguised as a blanched young woman crossing the river, then later as a white goat - by wearing pants over their heads to make it think they have two asses, and thus leave them alone. But the Plague cannot be fooled twice, and when it finally assumes a pig form, the village elder makes a pact with the Plague: if it has to kill, then it must leave a young boy and a young girl alive so that the race can go on.

The young girl and the young boy are the main characters, Liina and Hans.

Liina is Raak's daughter: a headstrong young woman whom her penurious father has arranged, in a drunken pub session, to be married to an older, piggish farmer named Endel. But she longs for the local village boy, Hans. He, in turn, is besotted with a young Baroness - the visiting daughter of the local German baron, whom the local Estonians secretly resent, and get their revenge on by stealing food and valuable objects from the estate. The Baroness is afflicted with somnambulism, and must often be guarded so she does not sleepwalk off the manor roof, which she almost does several times.

Hans and Liina try to use mystical powers so that their unrequited love could change into requited love. Liina can transform into a werewolf, and watches Hans as he stares at the Baroness' window at night. Seeing how smitten Hans is with the Baroness, Liina consults the local witch, Minna, who gives her an arrow and tells her to fling it at the Baroness when she looks out her window, saying that the arrow will split the Baroness' skull and spill her brains out. Liina stands watch at the manor one night, and sees the Baroness atop the manor, sleepwalking. She cannot bring herself to kill the Baroness, however; Liina materializes atop the manor and pulls the Baroness back from the edge.

Hans, meanwhile, fashions a kratt out of a snowman and tries to trick the devil with the three black currants. But the devil has wised up to the ruse and forces Hans into trading his own soul in order that his kratt may be imbued with one. Hans tries to use the kratt to bring him the Baroness; however, the kratt sadly replies that it cannot steal humans, only livestock and inanimate things. Hans then consults his kratt about love and romance; the kratt, made out of snow made out of water that has seen many things, enchants Hans with tales of romances it has witnessed through millennia.

The witch Minna asks why Liina didn't kill the Baroness; she replies that Hans loves the Baroness, and that he might die of sadness if she died. The witch is revealed to be an old spurned love of Raak, who in spite cast a spell that killed his wife and Liina's mother. But in a rare spirit of forgiveness, Minna confides to Raak her concern over Liina's unrequited feelings. In a last effort to enchant Hans, the witch asks Raak to ask Liina if she can procure a dress the baroness might wear. Luise, the baron's housekeeper, who has been pilfering the old Baroness' garments and other belongings, trades in the old Baroness' last gown for a silver brooch that Liina's forebears had been safeguarding as part of the Raak family treasure.

That night, Hans and Liina encounter each other in a dreamlike state in the forest. Liina wears the old Baroness' gown with a veil over her head. Hans does not seem to recognize Liina. He introduces himself and falls to his knees, thinking she is the young Baroness. Raak watches the two from a distance, saying to himself "Two fools" before walking away. The pair kneel in silence through the rainy night, and when morning comes, Hans finally kisses Liina through her veil. Ecstatic, Liina walks away, and Hans asks his melting kratt one final question. The kratt replies "That girl loves you" before dissolving into a muddy puddle. Hans then finds an expensive ring in the slush - one that had figured in a romantic tale in Venice that the kratt had relayed to Hans via the snowman's liquid memories.

Hans chases after Liina - still thinking she is the Baroness - to propose. Meanwhile, the actual Baroness is shown to have finally sleepwalked off the manor roof the previous night, and died. Liina hears Hans' wagon approaching and removes her veil in happy anticipation. However, the devil appears on Hans' cart, and asks where his kratt is. When Hans replies that it had melted, the devil says "Then it's time to pay!", then snaps Hans' neck. Liina chases after the wagon bearing Hans' dead body, as it encounters the funeral procession for the dead young Baroness.

Hans' father, Sander, berates his own kratt while they prepare Hans' body for burial, saying the kratts are burdens on humanity who won't hesitate to cut human throats. The kratt retorts by asking who told humans to make deals with the devil, and chides the father why humans fool the plague and the devil, but don't want to pay with their souls as promised. Sander then replies "But I have no soul."

After Hans' burial, Liina walks into a nearby river and drowns herself. Underneath the waters, her body slips from the Baroness' gown as she encounters Hans and kisses him one last time. Later, two villagers are then shown discovering solid gold pieces in the river. They declare it the buried Raak treasure before one of them lifts up Liina's body. They take the gold pieces but leave a gold necklace for Liina's corpse, saying it will make a nice dowry for a virgin bride. Liina's corpse then replies "Oh, yes. Just what a virgin bride dreams of."

A mass-shooting occurs at Kai Anderson's political rally. He appears to have been shot and several people are killed. The police arrive and Ally is shown holding the gun.

Earlier, Meadow Wilton tells Ally Mayfair-Richards that Ally is being targeted by a cult, of which her wife Ivy is a member, before Meadow is dragged away. Ally sneaks over to the Wilton's house and finds Meadow tied up. Ally rescues Meadow and takes her in the Mayfair-Richards' restaurant. Meadow tells Ally that the cult has been responsible for the events that happened to Ally recently, and explains why Ivy hates Ally and hence joined the cult. She also explains she fell in love with Kai, but after realizing the feeling wasn't reciprocated, she attempted to leave the cult but was caught.

A flashback to the day after the 2016 presidential election reveals that Ivy admitted to Kai that she hates Ally ever since their son Oz was born, as Ivy is infertile, and Ally wouldn't let her feed Oz. Kai uses this to manipulate Ivy into supporting him, and they plot on how Ivy can leave Ally while gaining full custody of Oz.

After leaving Meadow with Dr. Rudy Vincent, so Rudy can question Meadow and be Ally's witness, Ally goes to see Sally Keffler, a rival candidate to Kai, and tells her about the cult, which Sally believes. However, the cult arrive and Kai kills Sally, making her death appear like suicide. Ally hides, but is found by Ivy. However, Ivy doesn't notify the cult. When Ally returns to Rudy, he says Meadow left after, unknown to Rudy, she got a call from Kai. Rudy doesn't believe Ally about the cult.

At the rally, it's revealed Meadow was responsible for the shooting. When Ally tries to stop her, she reveals she is still loyal to Kai, and loves him. She then shoots herself. Kai is shown to have survived.

Beverly informs Kai that Bob is compromising news coverage of the clown murders and thereby hindering Kai's campaign. Kai, Beverly, Winter, Harrison, Detective Samuels, Ivy, Gary, and Beverly's cameraman, RJ, don clown masks, break into Bob's house, and film his murder. Bob, after suffering some blows, whines that he has a captive "gimp" in his attic. Kai and his followers head up to the attic to find the gimp suspended by hooks. Kai stabs the gimp, the hooks rip open his skin, and he falls to the ground.

Ivy and RJ are deeply disturbed by the murders. Beverly later advises Kai to cut ties with RJ, whom she views as a weak link. Each cult member, beginning with Ivy, shoots a tied-up RJ in the head with a nail gun before Kai finishes him off. Meadow pleads to Ally for safety from the cult and lets it slip that Ivy is a member. Ally later sees Meadow lying in an open grave in her backyard.

Beverly probes Kai about the whereabouts of his parents and Kai divulges that his mom shot his abusive father and then herself in a murder–suicide. Dr. Rudy Vincent, revealed to be Kai and Winter's older brother, insisted that they cover up their deaths in order to protect his career and continue receiving their mom's pension and their dad's disability checks.

Several heroes of the Ultimate Marvel and the mainstream Marvel universes are in the same city. In many cases, this means multiple versions of a same character. It is not clear what event caused it, but the Thor corps forbid any investigation or attempt to fix things. The conflict escalates into an open fight between the characters from both universes, which is stopped by Miles Morales. Morales explains that the universes have been merged and kept merged on purpose by the nigh-omnipotent Dr. Doom, as a punishment for the previous times the heroes had stopped him. The fight is halted, and the heroes of both universes prepare for a fight against Doom.

Netflix's press release describes ''Neo Yokio'' as the "greatest city in the world", a modern-day alternate timeline New York where Magicians saved the city from ruin by demons in the 19th century, gaining a place in the upper echelons of society and becoming known as "Magistocrats". The series revolves around Kaz Kaan (Jaden Smith), a vain and wealthy Magistocrat and his mecha butler Charles (Jude Law), as he balances a vapid and decadent life as a fashionista in the city with his demon-hunting duties managed by his stern Aunt Agatha (Susan Sarandon).

Kaz has taken to self-pity and "melancholy" after his recent break-up with investment banker Cathy (Alexa Chung) and only wishes to live a life of luxury with his socialite friends Lexy (The Kid Mero) and Gottlieb (Desus Nice). His rival is Arcangelo (Jason Schwartzman), an old money scion who belittles Kaz's "Neo riche" status, and the two are often in competition for the top spot on the Bachelor's List, a gigantic public billboard of Neo Yokio's most eligible bachelors. Former fashion blogger Helena St. Tessero (Tavi Gevinson) becomes re-acquainted with Kaz in the first episode after he performs an exorcism on a possessed Chanel suit. However, the possession leaves Helena disillusioned with Neo Yokio and the capitalist system, eventually leading her to become a hikikomori, an anti-capitalist critic and a foil to Kaz's vapid focus on fashion and social status.

Film starts with the sound of Mala Beraya (Drum which is playing for funeral) and aimed to Parami and Vimukthi. Both gathered in the city and get to the train for their journey as they discussed.

At the beginning of the film, it shows a girl placing a flower bouquet on a grave. One lady there, (I.P.Waruni) recalls her past and the film continues...

The film follows a story of a troupe of girls who are on an adventure to unearth the truth behind the death of a young girl called Krishani Mendis (fictional character) in the cold hill country.

The murderer is Nimesha, the elder sister of Nirasha(Udari) who is one of the girls who meet the spirit of Krishani in human form when they go to make a film in the hill country. Krishanthi calls herself Maduka, which isn't her real name.

The girls meet Maduka on their way to the villa where they stay on the days of shooting their film. Maduka tells them that her vehicle has broken down. The girls invite her to join them. They have a great time there. Sometimes they make the housekeeper annoyed. Nirasha writes the stript for their story. One night, the spirit of Krishani takes over Nirasha's body.

One of the girls gets injured in shooting the film so Maduka is asked to act instead of her. When they come home, they watch the film they made and admire Maduka's acting.

Meanwhile, one of the girls finds a newspaper advertisement that says it's a year since a person called Krishani Mendis had died. She notices that the picture in the advertisement is similar to Madukha's. She is horrified, and tells the other girls about this.

They watch the film again. To their astonishment, Maduka is not visible in the film. Instead, a smoke-like figure is visible. As the story moves on, the girls notice that Nirasha suddenly, behaves like Maduka. Funnily enough, when she becomes normal, she can't remember whether she did those things. For example, Nirasha can't drive cars but she drives a car which happens to be Krishanthi's. The servant of their house discovers that Nimesha does not behave in the decent manner as she used to do.

The girls meet I.P. Waruni(Dihani) in police and get her support to solve this mystery. At their first meeting,I.P. Waruni tells them that Krishani had committed suicide and they have found poison in her body, but with their request, she starts a new investigation. They go through details given by two of Krishani's friends Pathima and another friend Subadra (who is working as a nurse).

Meanwhile, Nirasha hit her mother on the head to get her hospitalized. I.P.Waruni goes to her house and discovers the connection between Krishani and Nimesha by seeing a photos of them by chance. Furthermore, she discovers that there was a big argument between them over a boy who was loved by both of them. I.P.Waruni finally decides to arrest Nirasha because she suspected her behaviour. She concludes that Nirasha did this purposely so that her elder sister Nimesha would come from abroad to see her mother. That would be the only way Krishani can take revenge from her.

The story concludes as Krishani uses Nimesha to take revenge from Nimesha. She pushes Nimesha from the cliff just as Nimesha pushed Krishanthi. Before that Nirasha injects poison into Nimesha's body just as Nimesha did to Krishani. At the end of the film Krishani goes out of Nirasha's body as she has taken revenge from her murderer.

Moscow, Spring 1930. Two OGPU officers search the room of Father Anton Kirillitch, who has been banned from his church and ordered to stop preaching. He shares the room with Grigori Orlov, ejected from his chair at the university for a "reactionary" refusal to give a Marxist slant to his literature lectures. Both live in poverty, in half a room of Grigori's former house, now seized by the State. To visit Grigori come his son, Andrey, and his son's wife, Elizaveta, both 35, who eloped to England in 1914 and are now naturalised British. Andrey, a left-wing writer in London, is horrified by his father's treatment and by the workings of the Soviet régime. Elizaveta, a doctor in London, has tried the West and found it wanting. She is more open-minded about the USSR, and finds a non-sentimental attraction in the work to be done. Their marriage is in trouble: she no longer loves Andrey. Vera Levine, 19, Elizaveta's sister whom she last saw before the War, arrives, an "agricultural expert" full of youthful enthusiasm for the New Russia, along with Leonti Levine, their father, a former antiques-dealer now Inspector of Collective Farms in the northern Ukraine. With the Levines is Vladimir Blok, 30, an OGPU official and Revolutionary Judge. Vera suggests that the returned émigrés visit "her" collective farm in the Ukraine. Vladimir gives permission (Orlov son might perhaps be pressured to write positively about the USSR when he returns to London) and allows Grigori to accompany them. Act One closes with the arrest by the OGPU of Father Anton, who knows this means the Lubyanka and liquidation.

Act Two takes places three days later at a railway station in western Russia, where the travelling party are waiting for a connection. Behind the political arguments, Elizaveta and Vladimir are sexually attracted; Andrey and Vera are falling in love. Leonti loathes Grigori from pre-Revolution days (they quarrelled over their children's elopement). When Leonti briefly leaves his luggage unattended, Grigori glances at Levine's pocket-book, finds something compromising inside, darts to the cloakroom to make a copy, then returns the book to the frantic Leonti, who thought it had been stolen.

On the collective farm in Act Three, in the Soviet House, Vera is in her element and full of pride. We witness a workers' wedding where the Soviet girls dance with spirit. Elizaveta tells Andrey their marriage is over: she has chosen Vladimir and will stay on in the USSR. The atmosphere darkens with a series of peremptory trials presided over by Vladimir: crimes against the individual are punished leniently, crimes against property (and therefore the State) with terrible vengeance. When some peasants are accused of being kulaks and sentenced to the Gulag for "hoarding" small quantities of grain, Andrey, watching, can take no more. He snatches Blok's pistol and shoots him dead. He is seized and knows he will be executed. Grigori, to save his son, tells Elizaveta what he found in her father's pocket-book: Leonti has been smuggling goods across the nearby Polish frontier (an "anti-Soviet" activity). Elizaveta, he insists, must blackmail her father with the threat of telling the fanatical Vera, to smuggle Andrey across the frontier. Andrey, however, will only attempt the escape if his father comes too. Elizaveta confronts Levine, who, terrified of Vera, caves in. The telephone line is cut. After delivering Vladimir's funeral oration offstage (which we hear), a tearful Vera enters to say goodbye to Andrey before he is carried off to Kiev. After a minute or two, she realises that the muffled figure in the dark room she has been addressing is not Andrey, but Elizaveta. The Orlovs have escaped. Elizaveta hints at what has happened; we guess Levine will not return. Vera raises the alarm – in vain. The play ends with Elizaveta attempting to console her weeping sister.

Azure is a twelve-year-old orphan with astonishing blue eyes and dark skin. At the opening of the novel, it is revealed that he left home three years ago after the murder of his parents. Azure roams the streets of Sea Point in Cape Town. His typical day consists of a lot of walking, a bath at the beach in the morning, parking cars in the city during the day, and sleeping near a swimming pool at night. He is well aware of other street kids whom he claims are deep into evil. Azure introduces his nine-year-old friend Bafana in chapter one who, unlike Azure, is into drugs and chooses to roam the streets even though he is not homeless. Liesel is also introduced in chapter one. She is a prostitute who sells joints to Azure and lives under the bridge along with “skollies,” gangsters, and drunks.

Azure earns most of his money by prostituting himself to “moffies,” which is the term used to refer to gay men. Azure gives his money to his older friend Joyce to put into a bank account for him. She insists on it as she tells him she knows how banks work. Azure calls Joyce “Auntie” out of respect and promises her he will never become part of a gang. He stays safe on the streets with the protection of Allen, a gangster pimp who works at Green Point. Allen is depicted as controlling and excessively violent. Azure cannot do anything with his own money unless he discusses it with Allen. It is through Allen that Azure realizes the power in money.

One day, Azure goes under the bridge to visit Liesel but finds that she is not there. He instead spends time with Sealy, a gangster who also lives under the bridge. Soon, the gang leader Gerald pulls up in a car and calls Sealy away. When Gerald returns, Azure accidentally calls him Sealy. Gerald is immediately infuriated that Azure has compared him to a "kaffir" (a native black man) when he prides himself on his light skin. In his fury, Gerald assaults Azure and Azure runs away.

Azure finds it difficult making money through prostitution. He keeps his distance from the bridge and remains constantly on guard for the sight of Gerald's car. Azure is too afraid to venture into town as he might face Gerald. He is also avoiding Allen because he hasn’t earned any money to give him, as well as Joyce because he is too embarrassed to show himself dirty and without shoes. Still looking to make money, Azure stays around the park in hopes that he will be picked up by a "moffie". Eventually one arrives and rewards Azure with fifty rand for his services.

Azure heads over to Bree Street to meet up with his friend Vincent. Vincent informs him that Gerald has been looking for Azure. He advises Azure to stop hiding and go directly to Gerald. Vincent states that Gerald believes himself to be white only because he has straight hair and light skin. It is from this that he derives his power and is therefore envious of Azure's blue eyes.

Azure decides to take Vincent's advice and confront Gerald. He goes to his shack and finds Sealy sitting outside. He asks Sealy where Gerald is before Sealy suddenly begins to brutally assault Azure, telling him that he must do this because Gerald is watching. Azure is severely injured. After Gerald forces Azure to wash his car, he calls on his other followers to take Azure to the hospital. At the hospital, they lie to the doctors and say that Azure was beat up by a store owner for stealing.

After his hospital visit, Azure is taken to a brothel in Salt River where he is locked inside a small room for three days. He tells himself that the adults around him only abuse him to make him stronger. Azure becomes weak from hunger and abuse. However, he believes he is becoming stronger as a result of the mistreatment he faces from adults. During Azure's stay in the brothel, he is forced to perform sexual acts with other men. Richard, his host, changes Azure's name to “Blue” because of his eyes.

Vincent explains to Azure, after his release from the brothel, that Gerald is extremely dangerous. He portrays Gerald as a big T-Rex. Later, Gerald confronts Azure under the bridge. Gerald explains that he killed Azure's parents in order to make him stronger. He also explains that Richard and his friends forced themselves on Azure only to make him feel what it's like to be a woman. Gerald tells Azure to never go back to Sea Point.

Azure soon discovers that Joyce has stolen his money. He decides he cannot trust anyone, especially with his money. In the moment, Azure uses the remainder of his money to purchase a bomber jacket with an orange lining despite Gerald's warning that only he is allowed to wear this colour.

Driven by madness, Azure climbs Table Mountain where he settles himself inside a cave.

During his stay in the cave, Azure's desire to swim becomes stronger. He begins to have intense and imaginative dreams. In his dreams there is a T-Rex that destroys the town below the mountain and even eats Gerald. Azure wakes up from this dream with a determination to go swimming.

For four days and nights, Azure continues to have obscure dreams. The dreams have one significant character, a beautiful woman named Saartjie who claims she is married to the T-Rex. After four days, Azure leaves the mountain with only thirteen cents in his pocket. He returns to town and finds Liesel's shack, along with the others under the bridge, completely destroyed. While looking for Gerald, Azure meets Sealy who informs him that Gerald committed suicide. Gerald was planning on killing Azure and went mad searching for him. Sealy reveals he only made it look like Azure's ankle was broken to fool Gerald and save Azure. Furthermore, he says he knows Azure killed Gerald and that's why he ascended the mountain. Azure concludes that Sealy is mad.

Azure begins to no longer view himself as a “boy” because he has seen things that have made him grow up. Azure believes grown-ups are evil, but still accompanies Sealy with his daily tasks. Sealy, the new leader of the gang, gets into hard drugs and is eventually arrested by the police. In the chaos, Azure leaves for the mountain again. On his journey he repeats to himself that his mother and father are dead. He finds another cave and dances madly around the fire he makes.

The novel concludes with Azure describing a powerful storm that destroys the town and beach below. Azure watches the storm from the safety of the highest point of the mountain. He sees fire falling from the sky and engulfing the town and declares that the sun rules over everything. He repeats to himself that his mother and father are dead. He states that he knows what fear is because he has seen the center of darkness.

Taking place in a world where PSI abilities are known to exist, but are barely understood, Hitomi Akeneno, is a psychic high school student with the power of clairvoyance and telekenesis. She is allegedly the worlds "first double psychic", as psychics are thought to all have only one ability, and she hides this status from all but her best friend, Chisono Shio. One day Hitomi is invited to the maiden voyage of a cruise ship via an anonymous invitation, from a sender who claims to know her father and sister. When she arrives at the suite designated in the letter, an explosion rocks the ship. She ends up stumbling upon Merja Amabishi in the suite, the daughter of Amabishi's CEO. Merja has a device strapped to her neck, and shows Hitomi a letter she received, stating that the device is a bomb that will explode in only a few hours, unless it can be activated via three hidden keycards. The letter is signed by the "Ghost of W", and warns Merja cannot seek help from more than three people, and cannot contact any officials. Hitomi and her best friend, Chisono; a psychic with telepathic abilities, take it upon themselves to utilize their abilities to save Merja, and discover the bomber identity, while also trying to escape the sinking ship.

The trio happen upon Misaki, a famous singer. Misaki agrees to aide the trio with their crisis. During the search for the keycards, Misaki tells Hitomi about her late boyfriend Wataru who died while searching as a doctor in a civil conflict in the country of Witsarock. After all three keycards are uncovered and are placed into the device to unlock Merja's bomb, Chisono notices that the writing on the cards spells out "M-I-S-A-K-I". Misaki confesses that she put the bomb on Merja's neck, and that she is an accomplice to the mastermind, although does not know their true identity. Misaki holds a deep grudge against Amabishi for their real in the Witsarock conflict which killed Wataru. She intended to kill Merja by detonating the bomb within just a few minutes, but she realized that she was simply being used by the mastermind when Merja's bomb failed to go off at the intended time. This caused her to realize the awful mistake she was making, and so joined the effort to save Merja of her own accord to recompense.

The group come head-to-head "The Ghost", who is dressed in the likeness of Amabishi's mascot, Mimimi. It is revealed that The Ghost is a female, that she is a double psychic with electrokinesis and teleportation abilities, which she utilised in the execution of her plans. The Ghost tells the group that she orchestrated the entire "game" for Hitomi's sake, as a "tutorial". She also tells Hitomi that she wasn't lying about knowing her sister. The group find a way to open a route to the ship's deck and make a desperate dash towards freedom. Hitomi strains herself to the limit on her telekinesis to keep the Ghost from shutting the final doors, allowing them all to get through. On the deck of the still sinking ship, the group take the moment to reflect on their experiences. Merja says that the experience has given her her first true friends, and Misaki declares her plan to confess to her crimes and atone for them. Finally, a rescue helicopter approaches in the distance, and everyone waves it down.

Hitomi and Chisono return their regular life at school. However, the "miraculous escape" from the cruise ship becomes worldwide news. Consequently, Hitomi's status as a double psychic is now public and she has become a household name. The Ghost's motivations, her connection to Hitomi, and her true identity, also remain a mystery. Hitomi decides to join the psychic research organization ZENA so that she can help people with her powers, despite it possibly being what the Ghost wants her to do. Hearing Hitomi's plan, Chisono reluctantly joins too, to keep her safe.

''Tooth and Tail'' is set during the 19th century in a society where anthropomorphic animals are facing chronic food shortages. Many animals decided to resort to cannibalism to overcome the shortage. The Civilized, led by Archimedes, created a lottery system that ultimately controlled who was eaten. This way of life sparked controversy throughout the nation; the Commonfolk liked neither the idea of being eaten nor the high cost of food. The son of the wealthy merchant Bellafide was selected to be eaten; he revolted, intending to reshape the food-selection system into one based on some version of a meritocracy. The Commonfolk—led by Hopper who wanted to impose a voting system to replace the lottery—also revolted. To overthrow the Civilized, Hopper and Bellafide joined forces despite their different ideals.

The Civilized engaged in the fight to maintain power and the status quo. Though the revolution had thrown the leadership into general chaos, certain military elements remained organized.

At the center of the story is a "locked room mystery" involving Chicago stockbroker Robert Westland, who has been convicted of the murder of his estranged wife. Sentenced to the electric chair and with only six days left to establish his innocence, he brings in criminal lawyer Charles Finklestein, who in turns engages two agency detectives from New York, William Crane and 'Doc' Williams. The evidence against Westland is that his wife's body was found shot in a locked apartment to which only he and his wife had keys, where he had been decoyed on the night of the murder by a phone call that seemed at first to have come from his fiancée, Emily Lou Martin. Additional evidence had come from neighbors beneath, who had heard a shot at the time of the killing. The weapon used was a wartime Webley of a type owned by Westland, which has now disappeared from his desk.

Westland bribes the prison warden to allow his legal team to use an office there for conferences with interested parties. These include his stockbroking partners, Ronald Woodbury and Richard Bolston; his cousin Lawrence Wharton; chief clerk Amos Sprague; his former secretary Margot Brentino, and his fiancée Emily Lou. These in their various ways are recruited to gather sufficient evidence for the state governor to pardon Westland.

The reason Westland abandons his despair so as to attempt exoneration is that Emily Lou has received a letter claiming to have evidence of his innocence. But when the two women, accompanied by the detectives, visit Petro's Restaurant to arrange a meeting with the writer, professional killers shoot him before they can talk. On the following day there is an attempt to gun down the detectives in the street, but they recognise the men as from Petro's and, with the cooperation of a violent labor leader also on death row with Westland, they return to Petro's with thugs for protection. There they learn that Petro had mistaken them for members of a rival gang who had come to identify the slain Manny Grant for the killers.

Yet another murder later occurs when Sprague is run down in the street while carrying evidence that points to a possible motive to get Westland convicted. It eventually emerges that many of Mrs Westland's financial holdings had been substituted for stolen scrip sold on by criminals at a 90% discount. But a solution is also brought nearer when it is realised that on the night of the killing the clocks had changed for daylight saving and the witnesses to the shot had not put forward their clock. The shooting had therefore taken place after Westland had left his wife's apartment.

After thinking the problem over, Crane deduces that the shooting was done with a different Webley and that Westland's had been stolen by the real murderer and thrown into the Chicago River so as to make him suspect. Taking a taxi back and forth over the river bridges, Crane establishes where this must have taken place and hires a diver to find the weapon. Then, in a last minute dash to Peoria, Illinois, he locates a firm that sold a similar weapon at about the time of the murder, retrieves the slugs for police identification and returns with employees to identify the man who had bought it.

At the final hour, all the parties are assembled at the prison and Crane denounces Bolston and Emily Lou, who has secretly married Bolston and stands to inherit the bulk of Westland's fortune. Bolston had been unwilling to retrench his lifestyle even at a time of economic turndown and had been employing increasingly criminal means to keep himself financially afloat: embezzlement, murder and conspiracy to have an innocent man condemned by planting incriminating evidence. Unable to shake the testimony of Crane's witnesses and experts, Bolston is arrested and Westland is reprieved within minutes of the planned execution.

Eric Cartman and his classmates play with an Amazon Echo Smart speaker, giving it instructions that include profanity, and laugh when the device repeats the inappropriate language. Cartman immediately becomes depressed when his girlfriend Heidi Turner appears and interrupts their laughter, and she in turn becomes frustrated when he refuses to express his feelings. Meanwhile, Randy and Sharon Marsh have started a television series titled ''White People Renovating Houses'' that features the couple redesigning people's homes. One of their broadcasts is interrupted when a group of men waving torches and Confederate flags are shown in the background protesting smart speakers because they believe the products have left them unemployed. Randy is irritated by their protest, but later decides to help them get jobs in which they serve as replacements for the smart speakers by responding to users' voice commands.

Another man, Darryl Weathers, has accepted the job as Randy's smart speaker, but soon finds the job demeaning and quits. Randy berates him for being closed minded about the future until Darryl reveals his frustration that he cannot knock down the load bearing walls in his house via renovation without his second floor collapsing. Randy offers to prop the ceiling up while knocking down the wall and delights Darryl with his redesign of the house. Cartman finds a pile of abandoned smart speakers in an alley and takes them home. Heidi goes to Cartman's house to apologize for upsetting him, but his mother says she cannot get him to leave his room. He is then shown laughing as the smart speakers comply with his requests. Before Heidi can apologize to him when they arrive at school, he ends their relationship, saying that he cannot tolerate her "abusive" treatment of him, and walks away.

This movie revolves around two friends, Jureli (Nischal Basnet) and Dari (Asif Shah), who smuggle gold illegally from India to Nepal. Their boss (Tika Pahari) gives them a Nepali two rupees note aka dui rupaiyaa. The serial number of the dui rupaiyaa is sent to the Indian party. One day while on their mission to smuggle, they stop by a restaurant which is owned by the ASP of the region. There Dari flirts with the ASP's wife, Maya (Menuka Pradhan), but is interrupted by the her son. To make him go away Dari gave him the dui rupaiyaa note given by their boss. Problems arise for Maya and Dari when Maya's husband the ASP (Buddhi Tamang) arrives, and Dari gets chased by him. However, Jureli manages to save him in the nick of time.

When they reach near the Indo-Nepali border Dari realises that he forgot the dui rupaiyaa note at Maya's hotel. Without the note the Indian party refuse to give the gold package and give both of them a day to find and bring the note to them. The next day Dari visits Maya where he came to know that the ASP has taken his phone and Maya doesn't want him in her life anymore. In order to get his phone back Dari and Jureli follow the ASI into a fun fair, where they both along with the ASP dance and flirt with the main dancer (Swastima Khadka). On coming out of the fair the ASP opens the phone and finds out that Dari is Maya's lover, due to which a fight ensues between the two. Even this time Jureli manages to saved Dari.

Vologeso is a twice-over reworking of ''Lucio Vero'' a libretto by Apostolo Zeno set by Carlo Pollarolo for Venice in 1700. That libretto was revised for a production by Guido Lucarelli of Rinaldo di Capua’s setting of 1739. Jommelli's librettist Mattia Verazi then further revised the 1739 text.

Set in Ephesus circa 164 A.D., the opera centres on a love triangle between Berenice Queen of Armenia, the victorious Roman general Lucio Vero, and Vologeso, the defeated king of the Parthians.

The Man in the Moon (who is literally a man in the moon), wishes to join the humans of Planet Earth dancing in parties, because he thinks life is boring. One night, as a comet flies by, the Moon Man jumps out of the moon, catching the comet's tail, bringing him down to Earth, frightening forest animals. The crash brings hundreds of people from a nearby town to the site. The Moon Man ends up getting thrown in prison because the people mistake him for an invader, instead of a friendly visitor, and even gets shackled with a ball and chain. Nights later, he enters the third quarter of the phase of the moon, shrinking to a small size and so can escape, via the window. When the general comes to inspect, he finds that the Moon Man's prison cell is empty.

Two weeks later, the Moon Man grows back to his full size, wandering while discovering the plants and animals, he comes upon a garden party, with people in gorgeous costumes dancing. A grumpy killjoy complains about the music to the police, and, scared by the police officers' equipment and uniforms, the Moon Man dashes in the forest, beginning a wild chase. Swiftly outracing the police, he comes upon a hidden castle, where he finds scientist Bunsen van der Dunkel, who shows him his experiment he had been perfecting for years: a spaceship, which the Moon Man can use to go back home. Bunsen takes the Moon Man to the rocket ship and waits for him to shrink again to his third phase. A few nights later, the Moon Man squeezes into the rocket, bids Bunsen a tearful farewell, and blasts off back to the moon. He realizes that the humans of Earth were not as welcoming as he thought they’d be, as he can never live peacefully on the planet and he stays nestled up in the sky, inside the silvery moon, and never returns to earth.

Arizona youth Richie, lives on his dad's farm helping him with his cotton crops. When in town running an errand for his father, he runs into Lorraine the girlfriend of his long time best friend Donnie. She tells him that Donnie's band is currently auditioning to play at a club in town.

Richie goes to the club to hear them as they just brought in a new guitar player as Richie is a guitar player as well. The club owner gives them two nights the following week. Donnie tells Richie that he should be playing for them.

Richie and Donnie go out that night to THE club in town, The Palace, to check out the band playing there "Surgical Steel", an actual Phoenix metal band featuring future Racer X singer Jeff Martin and Badlands bassist Greg Chaisson. Unbeknownst to Richie, Lorraine has set him up to meet her fellow worker, Beth. Richie and she enjoy spending the rest of the evening together until her father, very much intoxicated, yells at both of them as they are saying goodnight.

Richie goes to see the band perform that next week. When the crowd gets restless waiting for them to come on stage, Richie goes backstage to find out the new guitar player is passed out in the bathroom. Despite objection from the band's lead singer Skip, Richie agrees to sit in with the band as the owner of The Palace, known as the Fatman, had agreed to see the show for future consideration to play at his club. The Fatman agrees to send them on a short tour of out of town clubs to see how audiences react with a man named Weasel managing them. The tour goes well, and the band gets to start performing at the Palace. Richie and Beth grow closer while Donnie begins to alienate Richie, Lorraine and the rest of the band by doing drugs causing him to be late for performances and playing off key. Richie finally confronts him about the situation. Donnie promises Richie it will never happen only for Richie to be awakened later that night by his mother telling him that Donnie has died from an overdose. Richie quickly discovers it was ultimately the Fatman who supplied Donnie with the drugs that led to his overdose prompting him to confront the Fatman and smash his car up with a hammer. Richie then completely loses his desire to play in the band. He remains isolated at his home. With an important concert approaching in which record promoters and producers are attending, he remains adamant about not playing even after hearing convincing pleas from Beth and Weasel. Butch and Wolf, the bass player and drummer for the band, show up to the concert and begin playing in hopes that Richie had a change of heart. When all hope seems lost, a guitar is heard playing. To everyone's happiness, Richie had changed his mind after all. They play a song dedicated to Donnie to the crowd's rousing cheers and applause and Skip rejoins Richie and the band onstage for one final song.

The film opens with an actual quote Thomas Edison gave during a 1920 interview with ''Scientific American Magazine''. He stated that he was working on a device that would allow him to communicate with personalities that had passed on to another plane of existence. In 2002, graduate student Craig Leeham volunteers for a clandestine research study. Physicists Louis Mastenbrook and his mentor, Carl Meiselhoff, subject Craig to high levels of infrasound, electromagnetic fields, intravenous Ketamine, and "optical stimulation". The lab equipment is a mashup of vintage electronics from various decades of the 20th century. Craig is wearing glowing goggles and a helmet covered in cables. He answers an old rotary phone and is shocked to hear the voice of his deceased sister (Jenny) on the other end. Meiselhoff and Mastenbrook increase the power on the equipment. Craig seizes, screams, and his eyes explode. Ten years later, at a funeral, anesthetist Brayden Taylor's story is revealed in flashbacks. After surgery, his patient thanks him for allowing her to see her deceased children. An anesthesia colleague, Bob, informs him of the study Meiselhoff did using Ketamine to mimic near death experiences. At a cemetery, Brayden's girlfriend, Abbey, doubles over with abdominal pain while creating gravestone rubbings for her artwork. Later at a dinner party, Abbey collapses in the bathroom after a miscarriage. Following emergency surgery, Abbey overhears Brayden and Devin talking about the loss of the pregnancy. She flees her hospital room to walk home and is violently struck in a hit and run. Snowfalls as she dies in Brayden's arms. Abbey sees flashes, glowing energy strings, and a pulsing ball of light. She whispers "It's very beautiful over there."

Overwhelmed with grief, Brayden becomes obsessed with trying to bring Abbey back into his life. He seeks out Meiselhoff, and the physicist's widow gives Brayden the equipment with a cryptic warning of losing your soul trying to upset the balance of nature. Brayden tries to operate the Edison gear, but lacking expertise, almost kills himself in the process. He is saved by the arrival of Louis Mastenbrook who explains that he's part of a 100 year old coalition of physicists called "The God Model Project". Their goal is to define the laws of the known universe by the end of the century. At a restaurant, Louis gives Brayden a short lesson on M-Theory and how our universe sits on a giant cosmic membrane, parallel to infinite other universes. The electromagnetic field created by our brain, carries our consciousness on gravitational waves to another membrane. Louis claims not only will he be able to contact Abbey's consciousness on another membrane, he'll be able to bring her back. Louis instructs Brayden to recruit Craig Leeham, who is now blind, but has the ability to communicate with and see deceased personalities on other membranes. He is also a drunk. At a rural radio station where Craig hosts a call in medium show, Craig goes into a trance and connects with another membrane to speak with a caller's dead husband. Brayden convinces Craig to join him and Louis in their rogue research. Craig thinks Jenny is trapped between membranes and Louis can help save her. Back at his loft, Brayden asks Louis about the God Model, and Louis relates the story of a Harvard lecture where a student asked Einstein if he believed in God. Einstein drew a diagram on the board illustrating the four areas of physics - Classical, Relativity, Quantum, and Relativistic Quantum. He explained that this represented all our knowledge of the known universe. He drew another box around that diagram and said, this represents all the knowledge we have yet to learn. The student asked Einstein when we would fill in the outer box. Einstein replied, "Never. Because then we'd know everything. Because then we'd be God."

Isolated in a closet, Craig fights to tolerate the machine. Brayden is able to contact Abbey and briefly communicates with her. During the suspenseful session, Abbey melts a bucket of rubbing wax by Brayden. Before losing consciousness, Craig reveals he saw the snowfall present at Abbey's death. Brayde, postulates that, if he's put under general anesthesia, he can tolerate even greater levels of the machine and reach Abbey without fear of brain damage. He approaches Devin to join them and perform anesthesia, presenting the melted wax as evidence. Devin admonishes Brayden for getting involved with the two charlatans, and tells him to get back to the real world. Brayden returns to the loft and tells Louis and Craig it's over. Devin soon shows up, to reveal that the melted bucket of wax was a mold and shows them a plaster cast of Abbey's hand wearing the engagement ring Brayden placed on her finger when she died. Brayden is strapped into the gear and Devin induces general anesthesia. Louis cranks up the machine to the highest levels ever. Brayden briefly wakes up from the anesthesia and his consciousness makes a connection with the quantum realm that leads to another membrane. Brayden physically vanishes and finds himself in the "bulk" .. the no man's land between parallel universes. There, he briefly sees a strange figure also wearing the Edison gear. The figure vanishes and Brayden finds himself back in the loft .. but it is dark, empty. Louis and Devin pull the figure out of the isolation closet ... it is Carl Meiselhoff. Meiselhoff had crossed over trying to repair the damage he'd done to Craig's life. Louis reveals he sent Brayden over as a way to retrieve Carl. In the parallel universe, Brayden discovers Jenny, who is holding Abbey's plaster hand. Brayden tries to exit the closet, but is told he can only enter her world when the machine starts. Furious, Devin insists they rescue Brayden. Louis says it's impossible because they'd have to merge membranes. Carl states that Craig is capable of briefly getting the two membranes to occupy the same space, if he goes into his trance while connected to the machine. Craig agrees and he merges the membranes. Brayden enters the loft and is confronted by Abbey's entity (a glowing plasma sphere). Abbey physically appears to Bradyen and they are reunited. Craig himself crosses over and is reunited with Jenny. The merger collapses. Craig and Jenny are thrown into a new universe, as are Brayden and Abbey.

Epilogue reveals Brayden and Abbey in a loving embrace in their new world, Craig and Jenny in their world (as Jenny makes a rubbing of Abbey's gravestone), and Louis being interviewed about his claim that he has seen membranes ... and they are "beautiful".

Facing hard times, a former boxer must become a debt collector to provide for his family.

At an Alabama truck stop, truck driver Joe Majors walks in on a woman, Julie, being choked and seemingly assaulted by another man. He grabs the man and pulls him off Julie. However, Julie goes on to explain that she had asked the man to choke her. She relays a childhood experience during which she nearly drowned and had an out-of-body experience which allowed her to enter the spirit world. Since her daughter Billie was recently left in a coma after a motorcycle accident, Julie, desperate to save her, was trying to find Billie's spirit in the nether world to return it to her body when Joe walked in on her being choked. Joe – whose wife and daughter tragically died – takes Julie to the hospital to witness Billie go into cardiac arrest. Julie makes Joe choke her and enters the nether realm to lead Billie's spirit back to her body. Billie survives.

Joe accompanies Julie home and, even though Joe feels and looks as though he's been on the road for three days, they have sex. He stays with Julie for the next few days and is fired for not completing his duties in a timely fashion. He laments that a man without a truck is not a man. Billie is discharged from the hospital. While her injuries are healing, her demeanor seems odd to Julie and to her friends Mike and Rick. She also makes sexual advances to Joe, who is confused but not disinterested. While Julie drives into town to retrieve Joe's belongings from his former employer, Billie reveals to Joe that she is not in fact Billie but the spirit of his deceased wife, Mary, who has taken over Billie's body. Joe is quick to believe her and starts to engage in frisky activities with her, rushing to cover up their exploits when Julie returns home.

Julie is suspicious of Joe's and Billie's behavior and speaks to a nurse from the hospital who is knowledgeable about the logistics of the spirit world. She tells Julie that the spirit that returned to Billie's body is not Billie's and suggests that it is likely that of Joe's dead wife. Meanwhile, Joe and Billie/Mary have intense intercourse at home. During his coitus with Billie, Joe is drawn into a dreamlike memory or alternate world in which he is having sex with Mary. Julie returns home and Joe panics, while Billie assures him that all he's hearing is the cat. He astutely objects, "You don't have a cat," just before Julie walks in on them in the act. Julie is furious and demands that Joe help her expel Mary's spirit from Billie's body. Billie/Mary knocks Julie unconscious to stop her and asks Joe to run away with her.

Billie and Joe intend to rob Mike and Rick. Joe knocks out Mike (who has affections for Billie) and gets into a scuffle with Rick, fatally shooting him by accident. Billie/Mary takes the cash she finds at the house and takes Joe back to the ruins of the house in which Joe and Mary used to live with their daughter Sarah until Mary and Sarah died in a tragic fire allegedly caused by accident. Meanwhile, Mike confronts Julie, who tells in him about Billie's and Mary's spirits being swapped. Joe gets emotional when he finds Sarah's jack-in-a-box as he still blames himself for her and Mary's deaths. Joe and Billie/Mary vow to rebuild their relationship, but Mike and Julie walk in on them and hold them up at gun point. Billie/Mary draws a gun on Julie and, in a shocking plot twist, admits to killing Sarah before setting the house on fire on purpose as she says she is "not good on her own". Julie walks towards Billie/Mary and is fatally shot by her. Julie forces Mary's spirit back into the nether realm with her, allowing Billie's spirit to re-enter her own body.

Joe is distraught by what he has learned about Sarah's death. He cradles her jack-in-the-box while calling out her name lamentingly, then pours gasoline over himself, puts a cigarette in his mouth and sets it – and himself – on fire. Seemingly not feeling any pain, he puts the cigarette out on himself as the house around him burns down, yet again. Billie and Mike flee the scene, leaving Julie's dead body behind, and drive off. In the epilogue, we see a memory from Joe's earlier life, during which he shoots his abusive father dead.

Some years previously, a mysterious event called The Reflection gave superpowers to various individuals.

Merry completes her latest abduction on the Overseas Highway, only to find that she and her accomplice "Zeto" have snatched the wrong person: Lane Coolman, a talent manager from Los Angeles on his way to supervise a live appearance at a Key West bar by his firm's most important client, reality television star Buck Nance. Without Coolman present, Buck, who is badly unprepared to give an improvised performance, resorts to telling a few jokes overheard from his brothers, which are quickly decried by the crowd as racist and homophobic slurs. In fear for his safety, Buck flees into the night and hacks off his trademark beard in the kitchen of a closed restaurant. The beard fragments are reported to health inspector Andrew Yancy, a former police detective.

While waiting for their real target, Merry and Zeto let Coolman call his boss, who is indifferent to Coolman's safety but discreetly asks Monroe County Sheriff Summers to start a search for Buck. Because of the urgent need to find him quickly, the Sheriff's only detective, Burton, reluctantly asks Yancy to assist with the search.

After Zeto announces his intention to kill Coolman and dispose of his body, Merry takes pity on him and allows Coolman to escape while they abduct their real target, Martin Trebeaux, a beach nourishment hustler who delivered faulty sand to the beach behind a Mafia-controlled Boynton Beach hotel. After completing the job, Merry spends the evening in Key West, where she sees Coolman and whimsically decides to spend the evening with him. She meets Yancy when Coolman is called to the site of an accidental death outside their hotel: a Muslim tourist from Brooklyn who was accosted by a raving street person and fell off the city trolley, fatally stabbing himself in the heart with a souvenir being clutched to his chest. Coolman is horrified to be told that the assailant loosely fits Buck's description, and infuriated when Merry leaves him to have dinner with Yancy.

Only a few days later, Merry invites herself to stay in Yancy's home on Big Pine Key, saying she enjoyed his company and ignoring his feeble protests that he's in a relationship, even though his girlfriend, Dr. Rosa Campesino, is traveling in Europe, and may be planning to stay permanently.

It turns out that Buck has been kidnapped by his "biggest fan," an unemployed burglar named Benny "Blister" Krill. Blister was in the audience at the bar when Buck fled, and ran after him to show his devotion. Obsessed with Buck's TV show, ''Bayou Brethren'', Blister refuses to believe Buck's pleas that the show is an act, and decides to keep Buck hostage until the latter acknowledges their commonality. Blister's impromptu "tributes" to impress Buck include getting garish tattoos, accosting the Muslim tourist on the tram, and re-kidnapping Coolman. In a burst of inspiration, Blister demands that he be written into ''Bayou Brethren'' as Buck's long-lost twin brother. Buck and Coolman try to humor him until they can escape, but start to seriously consider the ploy after seeing the next episode on Blister's television, which has been filmed without Buck. They present their demands to Coolman's boss, Jon "Amp" Ampergrodt, who cannot afford to ignore Coolman's threat to make Buck and his "brother" the stars of a rival spin-off that will eclipse ''Bayou Brethren'' in popularity.

A tattoo artist leads Yancy and Merry to Blister's apartment, but Blister impulsively stabs Yancy in the abdomen with a knife, forcing Merry to rush him to the hospital. Over the next several days, Yancy tries doggedly to apprehend Blister, a job made more difficult by the fact that Buck and Coolman are shielding him, using him as a decoy to gain a more lucrative contract for Buck. After Blister refuses to accept a "deal" from anyone other than Amp in person, the agency head reluctantly flies to Florida.

Rosa's continued absence eventually makes Yancy give in to Merry's attempts to seduce him, after which she disappears, leaving a note at his house encouraging him to go after Rosa in Oslo. Yancy begins a trip to Oslo, but returns to Florida after he realizes during a layover that he has not resolved his own feelings about the case. Merry goes back to Miami and continues her work for the mob, but realizes that Yancy is likely to continue pursuing Blister and may need her help.

After tracking Buck, Coolman, and Blister to their hideout, being captured, and escaping, Yancy works out a deal with Coolman to take custody of Blister as soon as Amp signs a new contract doubling Buck's salary. When things go awry during the meeting with Amp, Blister abducts Yancy at gunpoint and forces him to drive the group to the airport. They are intercepted by Merry, who disables their car and distracts Blister with her signature move. Blister realizes the danger and recovers his stolen gun, but Buck, who has had enough of Blister's violent behavior, sneaks up behind him and breaks his neck.

The novel incorporates at least three interconnected subplots: Martin Trebeaux, the beach nourishment scammer, talks his way out of death by offering to replace the faulty beach, and promising huge profits from a new scheme to use sand from Cuba's pristine northern beaches in all future enterprises. His scheme and his life come to an abrupt end when he foolishly allows his Mafia contact's girlfriend to seduce him. Brock Richardson and his fiancée Deb, an obnoxious couple from Miami, plan to build a mansion-sized house on the empty lot next to Yancy's, blocking his prized sunset views; Yancy tries various ploys to delay the construction, but a chance meeting in Key West leads to him doing a small favor for Trebeaux's Mafia ''capo'', who is grateful enough to "persuade" Richardson to not only abandon the project, but to sell the lot to Yancy for a pittance. *The most serious emergency of Yancy's restaurant inspector career occurs when two Gambian pouched rats are discovered in the kitchen of a Key West eatery, whose co-owner happens to be the city mayor; the rats evade capture for most of the novel, but are finally cornered by the owners and turned over to Yancy for euthanasia; Yancy cannot bring himself to do it, and instead slips them into the luggage of a distracted cruise ship passenger departing Key West for Galveston, Texas, a humane act that Merry finds irresistible.

Buck becomes a national hero for his actions in Florida, but he has had enough of celebrity - estranged from his family, harried by his captivity, and badly shaken by the realization that his TV persona has become a role model for violent racists like Blister. He quits ''Bayou Brethren'' and moves back to Milwaukee to open a music store.

Yancy is saddened, though not surprised, when Rosa breaks up with him, admitting that she prefers Norway's tranquility to Florida's turbulence. Yancy's emotional blow is greatly softened when he returns home and finds Merry waiting for him, having decided that Yancy is too much fun for her to give up (at least for the immediate future).

Timid and awkward accountant Casey is brutally attacked on the street by a motorcycle gang. He comes across a dōjō led by a charismatic man referred to as "Sensei" and, after taking a trial class, decides to learn karate for protection instead of purchasing a firearm. Despite his physical weakness, Casey's determination impresses Sensei and he is promoted to yellow belt at their next promotion ceremony, while Anna, the sole female student and children's class teacher of the dōjō is denied promotion to black belt.

As Casey learns the dōjō's strange customs - its unbreakable set of rules and the praising of its powerful grandmaster, who developed a technique of punching through an opponent's skull with his index finger - he himself becomes more toxically masculine; looking at pornography at work, attacking his boss, and listening to loud, angry music. Further impressed, Sensei invites him to the exclusive night classes, where he breaks a student's arm and expels him from the dōjō for showing up uninvited. Anna brutally defeats Thomas, the student promoted to black belt over her, to prove her worth, but Sensei disqualifies her for her aggression despite him usually approving of it.

Sensei claims he has located one of the men who attacked Casey and they track him to a bar, where he pushes Casey to attack him as retribution. He later realizes the man was innocent and returns home to find his pet Dachshund dead, kicked to death by a technique he recognizes as Sensei's. He confronts Sensei and threatens to report him to the authorities, only to find that Sensei taped him attacking the man. He tries to attack Sensei, but is easily defeated. At the next night session, Sensei takes Casey and several other students to go out on motorcycles. They target a man who turns out to be an undercover cop trying to bust the group; Anna is shot in the leg, but Casey kills the cop on Sensei's orders. Sensei awards Casey a red stripe on his belt to signify his having killed a man. Anna, who also has a red stripe, confides in Casey that she got hers after killing a black belt who tried to sexually assault her. She urges him to leave the dōjō.

Casey returns home to find an aggressive German Shepherd gifted to him by Sensei, which will attack him unless he can control it. Pushed to his limit, he breaks into the dōjō at night, finding videotapes that document every attack Sensei ordered. He watches his own attack, in which Thomas is ordered to kill him but Anna stops him. He also finds that Sensei makes money by extorting former students. The next morning, Sensei arrives at the dōjō to find the exiled student dead, hanging by his own belt, and he burns the body in a crematorium in the back office. Casey approaches him and challenges Sensei to fight to the death, only to draw a handgun when the fight starts and shoot Sensei in the head.

As the students arrive, Casey displays Sensei's body and claims he killed him with the grandmaster's technique, making him the new Sensei. He chooses to give his position to Anna instead and, after finding his Dachshund's bite mark on Thomas' arm, has him killed by his German Shepherd, which now obeys him. Anna proclaims that the dōjō will be centered around more compassionate, defensive teachings, and Casey becomes the new teacher of the children's classes.

However, they are surprised to discover a couple in their forties, Delia (Patricia Manterola) and Federico (Rodrigo Murray), already living in the house, and who claim to have signed the same lease for five years. Both couples are right, because the elderly owner, who suffers from Alzheimer's, signed both contracts just before dying, so legally both couples have the same rights.

At the North Pole, preparations for the upcoming Christmas are quickly taking place. After the current Santa Claus's death five months prior, his son, Nick Kringle, is having difficulties trying to complete his training in order to become the next Santa. His younger sister, Noelle, who has been placed in charge of distributing and maintaining Christmas spirit, continues to support him, and even suggests taking the weekend off as to avoid the stress and relax before the big day. Complying, Nick takes off overnight with the reindeer, and does not return following the weekend.

When the reindeer return without Nick and Noelle admits to giving him controversial advice, the elves get angry at her. The elf elders forcibly appoint her cousin Gabriel, the Kringles' tech support, to fill in as the new Santa. Guilt-stricken and forlorn, Noelle deduces that Nick fled to Phoenix, Arizona, and takes off with the Sleigh and reindeer with her childhood nanny Polly.

They set down in a mall. With the permission of manager Helen Rojas and the customers' support and belief that it was a Christmas exhibit, Noelle sets out into the city to find Nick, leaving Polly to tend to the sleigh and reindeer. She meets and hires Jake Hapman, a private investigator as well as a recently divorced dad, to track down Nick. Noelle also interacts with Jake's enthusiastic son Alex and several other people, discovering that she can understand and communicate in other languages (including American Sign Language), as well as tell the naughty from the nice.

Jake tracks Nick down to a yoga studio, where Nick is enthusiastic to see Noelle yet refuses to return north and become Santa. After a heated argument, Noelle leaves the building. She returns to the mall, where her reindeer friend Snowcone arrives with a letter from Mrs. Claus informing her about the situation back home and ordering her to find and bring Nick back home. During Noelle's time away, Gabriel had used an algorithm to determine that there were only 2,837 "nice" children in the world, much to the horror of the elves and Mrs. Claus.

With help from Snowcone, Noelle tracks down Nick to a yoga retreat at the Desert Botanical Garden, and convinces him to return. Meeting up with her and Polly at the mall the next day, Noelle has him continue to train by being a mall Santa. While Nick sees the text message being sent to children from Gabriel, Jake discovers that Noelle told Alex about his Christmas wish, something that he finds awkward as his ex-wife remarried. Noelle reveals that she is Santa's daughter, causing him to leave. When Nick is accosted by the actual mall Santa, Noelle intervenes and accidentally hurts a police officer, resulting in her arrest and later hospitalization for psychological evaluation.

After a visit from Polly, who reveals her identity as an elf, Jake removes Noelle from the hospital and she makes her way back to the North Pole with Nick, Polly, and the reindeer before Christmas Eve. Back home after a meeting with the elders, Nick nominates Noelle as the next Santa, which stirs up controversy throughout the town but unanimously gains agreement from the elders when they determine that there is no rule against a female Santa and they are convinced she naturally has the skills. After a few mishaps, Noelle successfully delivers the presents across the world and drops Jake off at his ex-wife's house to spend time with Alex.

Noelle is celebrated at the North Pole as Gabriel happily returns to tech support while Nick opens up a yoga studio and Polly becomes an elf elder. Noelle admits that she is proud to continue her father's legacy for being the 24th generational Santa and that Christmas will go on.

Most of this information is conveyed by Vivien, an elderly neighbour who lives a hike away and who tries to educate Cathy and Daniel to a certain degree. While Daniel stays at her house reading, Cathy strolls around the forests.

At some point the father stops extorting rents for Mr. Price and does the opposite, pushing people to strike to get higher wages and to get reasonable rents for their households.

As a 37-year-old woman, the events of ''History of Wolves'' are a recount of a summer when Linda was a teenager.

Linda grew up in an abandoned commune in rural Minnesota with her parents; her mother who she suspected to not be biological parent, and her emotionally unattached father. Her poor relationship with her parents coupled with her geographical isolation, as she lived surrounded by forest, resulted in Linda being an emotionally distant teen who struggled to effectively communicate and form meaningful connections. Linda was a complete outsider at school and was called names such as “Freak” and “Commie”.

Linda was drawn to her mysterious and beautiful classmate, Lily, and her history teacher, Mr. Grierson. Mr. Grierson seemed to pay special attention to Lily, a fact that Linda was acutely aware of. Though he favoured Lily, Mr. Grierson also took a special interest in Linda, offering her a place in the History Odyssey in which she unconventionally chose to do the history of wolves. In the car driving home from the event, Linda attempted to kiss Mr. Grierson, however, he ignored the act. Linda soon found out that Mr. Grierson was fired from his previous school for accusations of paedophilia, and he was also caught with possession of child pornography. Linda’s school fired Mr. Grierson and rumours started spreading that Mr. Grierson had a sexual encounter with Lily. These accusations of sexual assault made Linda become more intrigued by Lily, although she also resented her as she believed these accusations to be false.

Linda was utterly alone, at home and at school, until the Gardner family moved into a house across the lake. She was immediately drawn to the young mother, Patra, and her son, Paul. Linda agreed to babysit Paul whilst his father, Leo, was out of town and Patra was editing Leo’s manuscript. She formed an immediate connection with Paul and no longer felt alone. However, Linda soon noticed that Paul was ill; he was weak, exhausted, and grey in skin tone. When Leo returned, Linda mentioned that she had noticed Paul’s sickness but quickly learned not to speak of it. Leo and Patra practiced Christian Science, meaning they did not believe in the physicality of human existence, nor in medicine. Leo questioned Linda’s core beliefs in an effort to sway her to believe in his values, resulting in Linda growing increasingly worried about Paul as she noticed his was deteriorating. Even so, Linda did not say anything about Paul's decline in health as she held trust in Patra, who she had developed feelings for. Following Paul’s death, a trial ensued in which Linda was called to testify. Paul's parents recited their religious ideologies as the reason for not receiving medical attention, and although they were charged with manslaughter, they were both later acquitted on the grounds of religious exemption.

Linda never grew out of her emotionally distant ways. She struggled to create long-lasting relationships, changed her jobs repeatedly, and moved from town to town frequently. She continued to live in this way until she was 37 when her mother required her to move home to take care of her following Linda's father’s death.

When Linda returned home, she was reminded of the eventful summer in which the aforementioned unfolded. The novel is concluded by the recount of another memory; her first day of 10th grade. As she believed that Lily had made up the accusations against Mr. Grierson, over the summer before grade 10 Linda wrote a letter to give to Lily pretending she was Mr. Grierson. This was with the hope to confront her classmate about her lies. However, she changed her mind after the summer break and did not give her the letter as she discovered that Lily was pregnant. Her pregnancy made Linda understand Lily's motivation of making up the accusations as it was so that she did not have to marry the boy who really impregnated her. Although Lily admitted to making up the accusations during Mr. Grierson’s trial, the town still believed Lily’s baby to be his. Linda tracked down Mr. Grierson through a website that kept records of sex offenders and contacted him through a letter. This letter denoted that she believed he was innocent. However, although he responded, this communication did not diminish Linda's desire for answers about Mr. Grierson and Lily's relationship.

During the scuffle, Jade's father slips and dies when he hits his head. Panicking, Jake hides her father's death from Jade and takes her back to his apartment, where he puts her to bed. Exhausted, he falls asleep on his couch, missing a date with Kim.

Alfie, Kim, and Kim's friend Leanne arrive at the apartment. Jake attempts to explain to Alfie what happened but is interrupted. After Alfie and Leanne go to his room to have sex, Jake apologises to Kim, only to be interrupted during sex by Jade. Jake says he is taking care of a relative's child; dubious, Kim leaves. In the morning, Alfie is furious to find that Jake has taken in Jade and insists she leave immediately, fearing she could bring interest from social services. Jake promises to get rid of her, but he is in turn frustrated to hear that Alfie has made overtures to Flowers, a psychopath who Jake's father warned him to avoid.

Jake takes Jade with him as he performs drugs deals. Against Jake's orders, she follows him to Flowers' shop. When Jake attempts to back out of the deal Alfie made, Flowers threatens Jade. As Jake and Jade flee, Flowers says Margate is small and has nowhere to hide. When Jake takes Jade back to her house to retrieve her favorite toy, he runs into Mary, Jade's social worker. Jake tell her he is Jade's cousin and babysitting for her father, satisfying her curiosity. Jade eagerly plays along, saying that Jake is a much better guardian than her abusive father. At Jade's urging, the two have a day out at the beach, and Jake treats her to all her favorite activities.

Jake takes her with him to meet up with Leanne, Kim, and Alfie. Leanne and Kim are pleased to see Jade again, but Alfie becomes antagonistic. Alfie tells Jade that ecstasy pills are candy and offers them to her. Horrified, the others are too late to stop Jade from eating it. Kim and Jake take her to the hospital. When Jake steps out to call his father for advice, Flowers kidnaps him at gunpoint and drives him outside town. There, Alfie angrily denounces him, saying he believes Flowers is the only way they can get ahead. Flowers initially makes as if to shoot Jake but instead kills Alfie, calling him too ambitious.

Impressed that Jake has kidnapped a child, Flowers asks Jake to join him. Jake refuses and escapes. Flowers arrives at the hospital first, and after convincing Kim that he is Jade's father, leaves with Jade. Mary meets with Jake and agrees to listen to his side of the story. Although dubious, she recognises Jake wants to help. When they arrive at the hospital, Jake insists on confronting Flowers alone, though he agrees Mary and Kim can call the police if he does not return in ten minutes. At Flowers' shop, Flowers and Jake get into a fight, and Flowers looks as if to kill Jake. Before he can, Flowers' father kills him, commenting that Flowers was not always so evil. After Flowers' father commits suicide, the cops arrive and arrest Jake amid Jade's protests.

By 1993, Chuck continues his previous work as a liquor salesman and abstains from drugs, also reconciling with Donnie. Chuck is subsequently approached by John Olsen to sign memorabilia at his shop. Though suspicious, he agrees to do signings for Olsen, being later arrested for involvement in a Sports memorabilia fraud that Olsen had headed. However, no serious charges are made against Chuck and he is eventually let go. He later meets Stallone a third time during his filming of Cop Land.

Jake “Cool Hand” Grafton is now a CAG on a cruise in the Mediterranean. A group of terrorists kidnap some navy crew and learn how to penetrate the ship. Led by Qazi, they intend to steal nuclear bombs from the carrier. Meanwhile, Grafton deals with two accidents, leadership problems, and himself facing being grounded due to deteriorated night sight. An anti-terror-team led by Judith Farrell is after Qazi.

The terrorist successfully penetrate the ship during a port visit using uniform deception and helicopters. After taking the ship, with Admiral Parker as a hostage, they successfully load 6 nuclear weapons onto three helicopters. The crew of the ship does not want them stolen and in independent actions, contrary to orders, they destroy two of the helicopters. One gets away with two devices and Kazhi on board. Grafton is the surviving senior officer after Admiral 'Cowboy' Parker, Captain James (CO of the ship), and the XO of the ship are killed. The Admiral commanding the Mediterranean fleet is hesitant to hunt the helicopter's that contain the nuclear weapons. Grafton disobeys him and pilots an F-14 hunting for the terrorists. He surmises that both weapons were transferred from the helicopters onto airplanes. He destroys the first aircraft, but the second aircraft is bound for Israel and has a fighter escort. He is able to down three of the six fighter aircraft and is trying to down the other transport aircraft containing the missing nuclear missile. Running out of missiles and with his cannon jammed, Grafton opts to ram his F-14 into the enemy aircraft.

In the end it is not clear if Grafton survives. A later novel, ''The Minotaur'', describes the events after Grafton rammed the aircraft.

Late at night, Dr. Benson drives through the countryside and stumbles upon a car crash where he finds a wounded young woman named Susan.

The player (who is referred to directly) assumes control of the Batter, a man in a baseball uniform on a "sacred mission" to "purify the world". After receiving guidance from a talking cat called the Judge, the Batter begins to make his way through four Zones, killing malevolent ghost-like creatures called "spectres" and the Guardian of each Zone in order to "purify" the Zone. After the purification of each Zone, scenes of a sick boy named Hugo are shown, implying a form of connection to the Zone. Along the way the Batter is met by Zacharie, a merchant who sells the Batter items and leaves cryptic hints.

As the Batter progresses in his quest, it is ultimately revealed that the Zones are tied to the Guardians' life force and that killing the Guardians will annihilate all life in the Zones; this outcome is the Batter's true objective.

The first Zone, Zone 1, is a series of towns ruled by a rude and demeaning humanoid creature named Dedan. The second, Zone 2, is a city overseen by the phoenix Japhet, who, desperate to get the attention of the Elsen residents, has possessed the body of the Judge's brother, Valerie. The third and final Zone, Zone 3, is a giant sugar factory, directed by an massively obese man named Enoch.

The Batter eventually reaches an area called the Room. After a series of flashbacks which reveal some details about the Guardians and the nature of the Zone, the Batter faces the Queen, ruler of all the Zones. She admonishes him for the destruction he has caused and attacks him, but is defeated.

After killing the Queen, the Batter finds and kills Hugo, the child who brought him and the Queen into existence, and commiting infanticide by doing that. The Batter then comes across a switch that will allow him to finish his mission, but is confronted by the Judge. The Judge berates both the Batter and the player for deceiving him and destroying the Zones and asks the player to help him to defeat the Batter.

In the Official Ending, the player sides with the Batter and kills the Judge, allowing the Batter to flip the switch. Doing so displays, "The switch is now on OFF," as the world fades to black.

In the Special Ending, the player sides with the Judge and defeats the Batter to stop his crusade. The Judge remarks that "Nothing remains now except for our regrets" but prefers this outcome to the Batter completing his mission. During the Special Ending's credits, the Judge is seen walking alone through the purified Zones.

A third Secret Ending can be accessed if the player collects the Aries-Card and plays through either of the normal endings. This joke ending revolves around so-called "Space Apes" in a war against brain-like aliens. The Space Apes describe their plan to construct factories in the now-lifeless world of ''Off'' to produce robots capable of killing the aliens.

John Wick is making his way through Manhattan before he is labeled "excommunicado" for the unauthorized killing of High Table crime lord Santino D'Antonio on the grounds of the New York Continental Hotel , which is considered neutral ground. He sends his dog to safety with the concierge, Charon, at the very same hotel. At the New York Public Library, John retrieves a marker medallion and a rosary. He is injured in a fight with Ernest, another hitman, and seeks medical treatment from an underworld doctor, but his $14 million bounty activates before the doctor can finish, forcing John to complete the suturing himself. Upon leaving, he is quickly pursued by various gangs of assassins, all of whom he kills.

John meets with the "Director", the head of the Ruska Roma crime syndicate, where he presents the rosary and demands safe passage to Casablanca. As John was once one of them, the Director reluctantly helps. Meanwhile, a High Table Adjudicator meets with New York Continental manager Winston and the Bowery King, notifying them that they both have seven days to resign from their positions for helping John and indirectly going against the rules of the Table. The Adjudicator enlists Zero, a Japanese assassin, and orders him to stab the Director through both of her hands as penance for aiding John. In Casablanca, John meets Sofia, a former friend and manager of the Moroccan Continental.

John presents the marker medallion, which binds Sofia to return a favor from the past, and demands to be directed to the "Elder" — the only person above the High Table. Sofia begrudgingly takes John to Berrada, her former boss, who tells John he may find the Elder by wandering through the desert until he can no longer walk. In exchange, Berrada asks for one of Sofia's dogs. When she refuses he shoots the dog, which survives due to its bulletproof vest. Sofia wants to kill Berrada, but only wounds him at John's warning. They fight their way out of the kasbah and drive into the desert, where she leaves John. Seven days later, the Adjudicator and Zero confront the Bowery King, who refuses to abdicate his position. In response, Zero's students slaughter his men while the King is slashed seven times with a wakizashi as penance. Meanwhile, John collapses in the desert and is brought to the Elder, who asks why he is there; John states that he wants to live to keep the memory of the love he once had with his late wife. The Elder agrees to forgive John's transgressions if he kills Winston and remains subservient to the High Table for the remainder of his life. To show his fealty, John severs his ring finger and gives his wedding ring to the Elder.

John returns to New York and is attacked by Zero and his students before reaching the protection of the Continental. The Adjudicator arrives, but Winston refuses to abdicate and John refuses to kill him, leading the Adjudicator to revoke the Continental's neutral status and send both Zero and an army of heavily armed High Table enforcers to kill John and Winston. Winston provides John with weapons and the assistance of Charon and his staff. After killing all the enforcers, John is ambushed by Zero and his students, and John proceeds to kill all but two of Zero’s students. Zero battles John but is eventually defeated and left to die. The Adjudicator agrees to a parley with Winston, who offers fealty to the High Table.

John arrives and Winston strategically shoots him without killing him, causing him to fall off the roof. Winston reassumes his managerial position. The severely injured John is secretly collected and delivered to the heavily wounded Bowery King in an underground bunker; the two agree to join forces against the High Table.

Lisbeth Salander is serving a two-month jail sentence for the crimes she committed while protecting August Balder. After threats arise against her, she is transferred to maximum security Flodberga Prison, which she finds rife with corruption. She also discovers that Bangladeshi prisoner Faria Kasi is tormented nightly by ruthless prisoner Beatrice "Benito" Andersson.

One day, Salander is visited by former guardian Holger Palmgren. During their conversation, Palmgren tells her about a visit he received from a former secretary from St Stefan's, where she was committed as a child, who gave him Salander's medical files which has led him to believe she was involved in something called the Registry. Suspicious, Salander forces the Warden to let her use his computer, where she learns the Registry is a secret project that places exceptional children in specific environments to test the effects on their growth.

Unable to do anything from prison, Salander asks journalist Mikael Blomkvist to investigate in her stead, pointing him to wealthy businessman Leo Mannheimer, whose name was in the Registry file she found. During his investigation, Blomkvist learns that Mannheimer had been acting strangely lately and comes to suspect that not only does he have a twin, Dan Brody, but Brody has been going around pretending to be Mannheimer.

Meanwhile, Palmgren, while going through Salander's file, recognizes the name Martin Steinberg and calls him. Steinberg panics and contacts his associate Rakel Greitz who, despite dying from stomach cancer, enters Palmgren's house pretending to be a nurse, poisons him and takes the file. Blomkvist arrives too late to save him, but Palmgren tells him to find Hilda von Kanterborg, a former Registry agent whose initials were in the file, before he dies.

Blomkvist tracks Hilda down and, though she doesn't believe Dan stole Leo's identity, she confirms that they are twins. She also tells him that Greitz tried to take Salander away from her family as a child as part of the experiment, only for her to react violently and escape. What they don't know is she then hid in a church and saw a statue of a dragon being slain, which inspired her to fight against the unjust and later don her dragon tattoo.

Blomkvist then confronts Mannheimer who, after saving him from Greitz' henchman Benjamin, reveals that he is Dan. Having grown up on a farm with an abusive adopted father, Dan found a passion for music and eventually fled to America, where he lived as a jazz musician. After being mistaken for Leo by a co-worker, he saw that they looked alike and came to Sweden to find him. After spending time together, they angrily confronted Greitz together for answers. Unfortunately, she and Benjamin caught them off guard and poisoned Leo, blackmailing Dan into burying him and taking his identity. However, Dan secretly managed to save his brother's life and help him escape. They ended taking each other's identity, with Leo living in America, while plotting revenge.

While this is happening, the Warden of Flodberga makes plans to transfer Benito to another prison. Upon learning this, Benito prepares to kill Faria, which she reveals she was hired to do by Faria's brothers. However, Salander stops and severely injures her, sending her to the hospital.

After she is released, Salander, with the help of Blomkvist's sister Annika, looks into Faria's history: she had been treated as a slave and object by her highly religious older brothers Bashir and Ahmed, who planned on selling her into marriage with a rich man. That fell apart when she fell in love with Jamal Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi national who was branded a heretic by Islamist extremists. Salander soon discovers that, on the two older brothers' orders, younger brother Khalil murdered Jamal, leading to Faria pushing Ahmed to his death in anger, resulting in her arrest and Bashir hiring Benito.

Salander tricks Bashir into confessing on video, and convinces Khalil to do the same to the police after Bashir flees. She then plans to go after Greitz when Blomkvist tells her what he's found, only to be kidnapped by Bashir and an escaped Benito. She gets an alert out to her hacker allies, who manage to track the truck they're in and alert the police. With Faria's help, the police find them just as Salander escapes and arrest Benito, Bashir, and their colleagues. After recovering from a wound sustained in her escape, Salander confronts and subdues Greitz and Benjamin, deciding to spare the former so she can suffer the shame of her reputation being ruined as she's arrested.

Faria's charges are lowered and she's presumably released. The people, Steinberg included, involved are sent to prison and, though preempted by a stock market crash, Millennium publishes Leo and Dan's story. Everyone who knew Palmgren gather for his funeral, where Salander makes a passionate, if backhanded, speech about her guardian.

In 2034, in the globally popular MMORPG ''Union'', there was once a top group of legends named Subaru, made of six elementary school friends.

Three men are taken to the District court - Chairman Kurdrna, Engineer Potůček and Bureaucrat Zelenka. They are accused of stealing national property. Zelenka and Potůček are guilty and confessed. Kudrna on the other hand refuses guilt. He didn't steal any of the property and didn't know about actions of the other two. He is shocked when he finds out that his deputy Ludl who was responsible for finances committed suicide due to his guilt. He eventually realises that he is also responsible because he signed some illegal premies without reading those. Zelenka and Potůček are sentenced to a long time in prison while Kudrna's sentence is low and correspondents with his custody but Kudrna feels guilt and refuses avoiding punishment.

As Alice plans to reunite with Cyrus at the Outlands, she also plans to get answers from the White Rabbit about his connection to the Red Queen, which involves the White Rabbit's family. Meanwhile, the discord between Jafar and the Red Queen reaches its breaking point. Will, with the wish Alice gave him, wishes to stop Alice's suffering. As a result, Cyrus is no longer a genie. Instead, Will is, and he finds himself trapped in the genie's bottle, even as the river carries it over a waterfall.

Cyrus and Alice reluctantly work with the Red Queen to find Will but must also be prepared to defend themselves from Jafar (when he looks for the Jabberwocky upon being told about it by the Caterpillar) and local inhabitants wanting revenge on the Red Queen for not protecting them from the beasts that hunt in their lands. Will has troubles of his own when Lizard finds the genie bottle that he is in and is granted three wishes.

Cyrus recalls the events that led to the binding price he and his brothers had to pay. Meanwhile, the Red Queen and the Knave are forced to confront the Jabberwocky.

Eleven-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon Asta live three miles from Oxford. Malcolm works alongside fifteen-year-old Alice in his parents' inn, The Trout, close to the Priory of St. Rosamund where Malcolm helps the nuns with maintenance and cooking. One day, three men, led by the former Lord Chancellor, Lord Nugent, arrive at the inn and question Malcolm about the priory. Shortly afterwards, an infant aged around six months named Lyra arrives in the care of the nuns.

Walking near the river, Malcolm sees a failed attempt at a dead drop and finds a secret message. The intended recipient is Hannah, an Oxford academic specialising in the alethiometer who is secretly helping an organisation known as 'Oakley Street' in its fight against the theocratic extremism of the Magisterium. Using the alethiometer Hannah finds Malcolm and retrieves her message. The two strike up a friendship in which Malcolm assists her intelligence-gathering and she provides him with books to read from her own library.

The Magisterium's influence grows. At Malcolm's school, students are encouraged to join the League of St. Alexander, and to report anybody - including teachers - who contradicts the Magisterium's religious views. Coram van Texel, also working for Oakley Street, is investigating the activities of Marisa Coulter in Sweden. He discovers that she is looking into the Rusakov field and has asked an alethiometrist to find her daughter Lyra's location. Coram is followed by a man with a malevolent hyena dæmon and fights him, badly wounding the dæmon's front leg. Lyra's father, Lord Asriel, visits the inn and Malcolm takes him to visit Lyra. To escape his pursuers Asriel borrows Malcolm's canoe, ''La Belle Sauvage''. As a token of thanks, he returns it significantly improved. Coram warns Malcolm of an impending flood, but Malcolm is unable to convince people to act. A man named Gerard Bonneville arrives at the inn, accompanied by a three-legged hyena dæmon, and Malcolm sees him snooping around the priory.

Heavy rain starts to fall. Alice warns Malcolm about Bonneville, whom they see trying to take the baby Lyra. As the flood arrives, Malcolm and Alice rescue the child and escape down river in ''La Belle Sauvage''. They intend to stop at Jordan College to seek academic sanctuary for Lyra, but are prevented by the ferocity of the floodwaters. Instead, they head to London, where Lord Asriel lives, pursued by Bonneville; both Oakley Street and the Magisterium are also searching for them. They narrowly escape from Bonneville when Malcolm stabs him in the thigh and Alice shoots his dæmon, shattering her other leg. They take his heavy backpack. Shortly afterwards, they meet George Boatwright, a former patron of The Trout who has been in hiding with a small community since running foul of the Church. Their arrival is reported to The League of St. Alexander by one of the boys in the group, and Lyra is captured and taken to an orphanage run by a convent. Malcolm enters through the scullery and rescues Lyra.

The children have two more mystical stops in the canoe. In the first, a fairy woman named Diania gives them food and feeds Lyra, whom she claims and intends to keep. In Bonneville's pack, they find his scientific papers describing the Rusakov field and an alethiometer in a puzzle box. They use the box to help them escape by tricking Diania and winning a challenge to keep Lyra. In the second, they find themselves in an elegant garden where a party is being held. Nearby, behind a wall of mist, are all the things the partygoers wish to forget. Their onward passage is blocked by a pair of massive lock gates controlled by a river giant, whom they persuade to open the gates, pretending to have authorisation from the King. The canoe ends up at a mausoleum, where Bonneville attacks again but is killed by Malcolm.

Alice, Malcolm, and Lyra finally make it to London, closely followed by the forces of the Magisterium. Lord Nugent and Lord Asriel rescue them from ''La Belle Sauvage'', which is breaking up, and Lord Asriel takes them by gyrocopter to Jordan College where he obtains academic sanctuary for Lyra and leaves her in the care of the Master. Malcolm secretly places Bonneville's alethiometer with Lyra's possessions.

Four women have attended a monthly book club for 40 years, bonding over the suggested literature, and have become very good friends: • Vivian, who owns and builds hotels, runs into Arthur, a man whose marriage proposal she turned down 40 years before. They begin a flirtation, but she has always refused to settle down because she enjoys her independence. • Diane is recently widowed, and her daughters would like her to move closer to them in Arizona because they perceive her to be in danger as she lives alone. • Sharon is a federal judge who's been single since she divorced her son's father over 18 years ago. • Carol has a successful marriage to Bruce, who has recently retired, but they have recently lacked intimacy.

One day, they read ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' and are turned on by the content. Viewing it as a wake-up call, they decide to expand their lives and chase pleasures that have eluded them.

While flying to visit her daughters in Arizona, Diane meets Mitchell and they strike up a relationship, though she is hesitant because of how recently her husband died and because she hasn't dated in decades. Vivian spends more time with Arthur, but her fear of commitment makes her keep him at a distance. Carol is frustrated with her husband's refusal to have sex with her, and by reading the book she realizes they are missing something. Sharon starts an online dating account to start dating again.

They continue to read ''Fifty Shades Darker'' and ''Fifty Shades Freed'' in their book club, while trying to figure out how to solve their problems. Diane's daughters continue to pressure her to move to Arizona but she doesn't want to leave her friends. She sneaks away to see Mitchell, and when her daughters can't reach her, they send the police out to find her. On discovering her at Mitchell's, they insist she move into the basement of one of their homes, essentially ending her relationship with him. Eventually, Diane tells her daughters that though she is older, she doesn't need to be under surveillance. She packs up her belongings and leaves for Mitchell's, where they resume their relationship.

Arthur asks Vivian to commit to being in a relationship and she declines, despite his assurances that he wants her to continue being independent. Soon after he leaves for the airport, Vivian realizes she's made a mistake and tries to go after him. She misses his airplane, but when she returns to her hotel, she finds Arthur waiting for her and they rekindle their relationship.

Carol, frustrated that Bruce is refusing to have sex with her, tries various ways to entice him, but he's completely oblivious. Eventually she spikes his beer with erectile dysfunction medication, but he becomes angry because that is not what's causing the problem, and they continue to not have sex. Bruce admits that he's been stressed because he retired, and doesn't know what to do with himself. They eventually reconcile after dancing together in a fund-raising talent show.

After a few dates with men she meets online, Sharon decides that it isn't for her. She gives a speech at her son's engagement party, where she realizes that everyone deserves to be in love and happy. She opens her online dating account again, in the hopes of finding someone.

''Last Day of June'' is centred around a couple called Carl and June, who suffer a tragedy when a car accident kills June and leaves Carl in a wheelchair. One day, Carl touches one of June's paintings of people who had been present on the day of the accident and discovers that he can revisit their memories. As Carl relives their memories, the characters can perform actions that change the sequence of events that led up to June's death. Carl manages to prevent the initial accident, but another event causes the car crash. He continues to change events multiple times, but each attempt still results in the accident by different circumstances. In the finale of the game, Carl realizes that he cannot change that someone dies that day, so he switches places with June, sacrificing himself instead, saving her and their unborn child. However, shortly before the end of the game, Carl finds a sketchbook made by June which lists attempts by her to save him, rather than the other way around.

Nate Hohl of All Gamers proposes instead that wheelchair-using Carl is June's fantasy and manifestation of grief, while the game's final revelation is her recovery.

The novel is a series of stories about Bradley Reynolds, Earth's first space hero. While Part One (Mars exploration), and Part Two (alien encounter) are stand alone stories, the latter sections deal with the life systems of Jupiter and are interconnected.

''Chariot of Fire'' is about Henry Brock and his death. It begins after Henry has been dead for about 20 minutes, and is filling out a long form given to him by a nun, computing the number of times he sinned with his former girlfriend. Henry is then assigned to the Second level of Hell, and Cleopatra asks him to aid her in a revolution against Satan.

On the eve of D-Day, a paratrooper squad, most of them in an integrated unit, is sent to destroy a German radio-jamming tower in an old church. Their plane is shot down and crashes, and most of the squad, including squad leader Sgt. Rensin, are killed either in the crash or by Nazi soldiers and landmines. Four survivors remain: second in command Corporal Ford, Pfc. Boyce, Pfc. Tibbet, and Pvt. Chase.

The team continues onward and meets Chloe, a young woman from the village where the church is located. She lets them take refuge in her house. Chloe lives with her 8-year-old brother Paul and her aunt, who has been disfigured by Nazi experiments taking place in the church. After Tibbet and Chase depart to check the scheduled rendezvous site, a Nazi patrol led by SS Hauptsturmführer Wafner visits Chloe. Wafner sends his men away, and proceeds to coerce Chloe for sex, threatening to send her brother to the church to be "fixed". Boyce cannot ignore this and interrupts the Nazi officer. Ford is forced to follow suit and restrains Wafner.

Attempting to reach the rendezvous point to look for Tibbet and Chase, Boyce witnesses the Nazis burning disfigured village residents. He is chased by a dog and forced to hide in a truck carrying dead bodies into the church. Sneaking out of the truck, Boyce discovers an underground base that houses not only a radio operating room, but also a laboratory where the Germans perform various experiments on the villagers involving a mysterious serum and a large pit filled with black tar. Boyce takes a syringe containing the serum and rescues Rosenfeld, another member of the paratrooper squad, who was captured alive. They escape through the base's sewers.

When Boyce and Rosenfeld get back to Chloe's house, Tibbet and Chase have already returned. Wafner refuses to explain what the serum does, even as Ford tortures him. As the squad prepares to attack the church, Wafner attempts to escape, and fatally shoots Chase. Boyce, having seen a dead man supposedly resurrected by the serum in the lab, injects Chase with the syringe. Chase is resurrected, but soon mutates and turns violent. A scuffle ensues, ending with Boyce bludgeoning Chase to death. A patrol responding to the carnage arrives, and a shootout erupts in which the patrol is killed and Ford blows half of Wafner's face off. Wafner escapes with Paul as a hostage and back at the lab, injects himself with two doses of the serum.

Boyce proposes infiltrating the base and destroying the tower from the inside, which would also destroy the laboratory. The other privates support him, and Ford grudgingly agrees. Splitting up, Rosenfeld and Tibbet launch a frontal assault as a distraction, while Ford, Boyce, and Chloe enter the base using the sewers. Boyce and Ford plant the explosives, while Chloe looks for Paul. Chloe finds Paul, sends him back to the village, and successfully kills a mutated test subject who corners her. She returns to the village, where Tibbet and Rosenfeld are pursued by the base's defenders. Tibbet is wounded while shielding Paul from gunfire. Chloe kills the remaining Germans and treats Tibbet's wounds.

Wafner, now mutated and possessing superhuman strength and resilience, overpowers Ford and impales him on a meat hook. Wafner reveals that the serum was made by using the villagers' bodies to distill the ancient power of the black tar, which had been running under the village for centuries. The aim was to create immortal and invincible soldiers to serve the Reich. As Boyce distracts Wafner, Ford pulls the hook out and injects himself with the serum to heal his wounds. He holds off Wafner long enough for Boyce to set off an oxygen tank, which sends Wafner falling into the tar pit. As he begins to mutate, Ford orders Boyce to leave him behind and detonate the explosives, believing neither side should possess the serum. Boyce complies, and narrowly escapes as the church and jamming tower collapse behind him, killing Ford, Wafner, and the test subjects. He joins the others as a radio announces that the D-Day invasion concluded in a victory for the Allies.

In his report, Boyce credits Ford for the decision to plant the bombs inside the church. The commanding officer questions Boyce regarding rumors of an underground lab under the church. Boyce, sharing Ford's view, denies seeing anything worth digging up. The officer seemingly accepts his story, and informs him that they will be reassigned to C Company as the war continues.

A couple are brought together in the hunt for a bull that has escaped in the Pecos cattle country.

He warns her to not touch him due to their curse, however, Alice claims that she had found a sorceress who cured them. They move to embrace but it only throws Hook backwards as they realize their curse hasn't actually been broken. Alice runs away in fear and Henry and Ella chase her through a portal to New Wonderland.

When Henry and Ella arrive in New Wonderland, Ella reveals that her choice to come to the realm was a personal one and that she intends to find out what happened to her mother, Cecilia, who had left her and her father behind many years ago. Ella points to what happened to her parents as the reason why she doesn't believe in true love. When they come across a single shrinking potion, Ella takes it and leaves Henry to enter the Infinite Maze, the place her mother had run into. When Ella eventually finds Alice, she notices that the other half of her mother's necklace is on a table at Alice's tea party. Alice then reveals that she had met Cecilia before and that the woman had died after a battle in which Alice was the only survivor. She also tells Ella that Cecilia had been inflicted with the same Curse of the Poisoned Heart that forced her to leave her loved ones for their own safety.

Meanwhile, Drizella is also in New Wonderland, scouring it for magical items. It is revealed that she was the one who had tricked Alice into believing her curse was broken. Drizella comes across Henry, who she intends to also give the Curse of the Poisoned Heart to but Ella and Alice are able to save him just in time. Drizella is sent away through a magic mirror. With the knowledge that her mother didn't run away because she stopped loving Ella's father, Ella decides to open herself up to a relationship with Henry and the two share their first kiss.

Henry and Ella make their way back to Hook and Regina without Alice, who has chosen to stay away for the time being. Alice had given Ella the knight chess piece to give to Hook, as she no longer needed a reminder that they'd be together once again. Later, a man wanders into their camp and is revealed to be Jack, a friend of Henry's whom he had met during his early years of traveling the realms. Henry introduces him to Ella.

A group of Klingons rally around their leader, T'Kuvma, who follows the teachings of the ancient Klingon leader Kahless, and preaches against the actions of the United Federation of Planets.

On a relatively primitive planet, Captain Philippa Georgiou and First Officer Michael Burnham of the USS ''Shenzhou'' open a well, and enable the planet's residents to survive a coming 89-year drought.

On Stardate 1207.3 (May 11, 2256), the crew of the ''Shenzhou'' investigate a damaged interstellar relay in deep space and discover an unidentified object. Without a clear reading of the object, cautious Kelpien Science Officer Saru advises leaving the area. Burnham disagrees, and dons a space suit to investigate in spite of the dangerous radiation from a nearby binary star system. She finds the object to be covered in ancient carvings, and guarded by an armed Klingon. The Klingon attacks, and when she uses her suit to escape she accidentally kills him. Burnham later awakens aboard the ''Shenzhou'' being treated for acute radiation sickness.

The Klingons hold a memorial service for their dead comrade, a "Torchbearer". Burnham warns Georgiou of her encounter with the Klingon, and though Saru suggests that she is confused due to her injuries, Georgiou believes her and locks weaponry on the object. T'Kuvma was expecting this, and reveals their cloaked vessel. The Klingons debate attacking the Federation ship, but T'Kuvma is looking to fulfill an ancient prophecy by having the Torchbearer light a beacon and unite the great Klingon houses. Voq, an outcast with no house of his own, volunteers to be the new Torchbearer, and "lights the beacon", sending light and signals from the carved object.

Starfleet orders the ''Shenzhou'' to wait until reinforcements arrive. Burnham contacts her adoptive father Sarek, who believes that the Klingons must have a new leader who could be looking to bring order to the Klingon Empire, which has been in disarray for centuries. He also explains that his species earned the respect of the Klingons by firing on them first whenever they met. Burnham recommends this action to Georgiou, but the captain refuses. Burnham disables Georgiou with a Vulcan nerve pinch and takes command of the ship, ordering an attack on the Klingon vessel. Georgiou recovers in time to stop the attack, just as several more Klingon vessels arrive.

In the aftermath of a zombie-like outbreak, the rural regions of Quebec are decimated with few survivors remaining. Bonin and his friend Vézina patrol with shotguns, shooting the infected while amusing each other with doctor jokes. While out, Vézina is drawn out into the forest, surrounded, and attacked. Another survivor, wife and mother Céline, drives, alone, and kills the infected as she finds them with a machete. Céline wanders onto the property of two elderly, armed women, Therese and Pauline, who tell Céline to strip so they can see if she has been bitten. Upon seeing Céline is clean, they take her in.

Bonin meets Tania, a young woman with a bite mark, who swears she was bitten by a dog and not an infected. While Tania is initially tied down for safety reasons, Bonin unties her and drives her away as the infected close in. They pick up a little girl, Zoé. Bonin also spots infected in a field and spies on them. He observes that they are gathered around a stack of found objects they have assembled, in a mysterious ritual.

Bonin, Tania, and Zoé head back to Therese and Pauline's house, as Bonin knows them. Together, the group realizes the house is on the path of the infected invasion. As the infected swarm in, the group flees. They encounter two other survivors, the elderly former insurance agent Réal and the young Ti-Cul, who is armed with a rifle. The group unites and finds a cabin. Inside, they find a note from an anonymous survivor warning anyone who reads it to stay away from town and stating the author is looking for survivors on Quebec Route 113. Pauline is bitten and shot by Therese. Réal, having been bitten earlier, turns, bites Ti-Cul, and is dispatched by Céline, who also kills Ti-Cul before he can turn.

The advancing infected overrun the remaining survivors. Therese stays behind so Bonin can escape with Zoé and is killed. Surrounded, Céline begins hacking against the oncoming undead. Bonin gives Zoé to Tania and leads the infected away, as Tania hides Zoé in a tunnel and tells her Zoé is the strongest. Tania disappears as the infected continue to swarm. When Zoé emerges, she finds Bonin pointing his shotgun at his own head. Bonin tells her to go look for Tania, and Zoé sets off alone for Route 113, passing another infected-made structure. On the road, she is picked up by a survivor in a racecar (seen in the opening of the film) after warning him to not continue on the road.

In a post-credits scene, the newly zombified Bonin and Tania stand in front of a tower of stacked chairs on which stands a parrot.

Adam Merkin, a white graduate student at Berkeley, is writing a thesis on the use of the word "nigga" in battle rap. To research, he attends a freestyle rap battle between rappers X-Tract and Behn Grym and brings his girlfriend Maya along; Maya is offended by the sexism she perceives in the bars used in the battle. Adam attempts to interview Grym and is made fun of for his rhetoric. In the parking lot outside the event, Grym is called out by young white rapper Billy Pistolz, but Adam steps in and delivers a freestyle verse accusing Pistolz of cultural appropriation. An impressed Grym agrees to speak with Adam further.

Adam's father, Professor Merkin, is a best-selling author and professor at Berkeley. When Adam runs the idea of his thesis by his father, he is met with more ridicule. Adam accepts an offer by battle promoter Donnie Narco for a battle for newcomers against Korean rapper Prospek. At the battle, Adam attempts to perform joke lines but doesn't get the reaction he hoped for; he falls back on Asian jokes, winning over the crowd and taking the battle. Adam also meets rappers Che Corleone, Devine Wright, and Megaton, who is known for his aggressive persona.

At a vegan restaurant, Adam attempts to convince the disapproving Maya that it's okay for him to keep battling but insults both her and a waitress in rhyme, angering her and getting himself ejected from the restaurant. Maya later leaves Adam after his rapper friends offend her. After an event where Adam, Che, Devine, and Grym all win their battles, they attend a house party hosted by Megaton where Che has sex with Megaton's girlfriend, porn star Bella Backwoods. An enraged Megaton challenges Che to a battle in the coming days.

Adam tries to stay with Grym, who reveals his life outside battle rapping: he is a video game designer with a wife and a child with cystic fibrosis. He states that he maintains his privacy because he doesn't want people to use personal insults against him and, as such, never uses personal insults himself. Grym offers Adam to stay at his house, but his wife accuses Adam for appropriating black culture and refuses to let him stay.

Adam is contacted by another promoter, offering him the chance to battle Grym for $5,000 at the same event as Megaton and Che's battle, but he turns it down, stating that battle rap has ruined his life. Maya then uses an online video of Adam's battle with Prospek as supporting material for her own thesis, turning the student body of Berkeley against him. His father also disowns him, and the dean of the school suspends his scholarship. Left with no other choice, Adam calls the promoter and accepts the battle.

At the event, Adam and Grym go head to head. Grym delivers scathing but fictional bars against Adam, but Adam betrays his friend to win by using Grym's actual personal details against him, with emphasis on his daughter's illness. While enraged during the fight, Adam gets angry at two other rappers who are talking during the fight, and he and Grym perform an impromptu tag-team battle against them.

Afterwards, Grym informs Adam that they are no longer friends, because while other battle rappers' cruelty is merely an act, Adam's battle rapping has become an outlet for his actual cruelty. Grym departs, saying he needs to be where he belongs; with his family. Desperate, Adam attempts to call Maya and ask her to marry him, but she lashes out at the ridiculousness of the idea and tells him to stay away from her.

Megaton "bodies" Che during their battle, even bringing his girlfriend out to freestyle about how bad he is at sex. Afterwards, Megaton starts insulting the crowd, daring anyone to challenge him. Adam, left with nothing else, steps into the ring and takes on Megaton, who hits him in the face during his verse. Unfazed, Adam gets back on his feet and calls Megaton out for putting on an aggressive act. Megaton concedes the battle to a triumphant Adam. Afterwards, Adam, now sleeping on a park bench on the Berkeley campus, watches a video on his phone and says he's decided what his rap name is, but the film cuts to credits before he can say.

Molly and the family welcome an old beau of hers to town, and find he has brought with him his much-younger fiancé, whom Molly brings along to her evening music-appreciation classes. While attending them, the young bride-to-be and the teacher begin to exhibit a strong attraction to one another, leaving Molly to find ways to subtly intervene.

Tweek Tweak performs an emotionally-charged song during a school assembly, in which he frantically warns of the growing tensions with North Korea, screaming at the apparent indifference of everyone. The boys urge his boyfriend, Craig Tucker, to calm Tweek's anxiety, but Tweek is further panicked by President Garrison's aggressive tweets to North Korea. Craig suggests sending cupcakes to North Korea to calm him down. Meanwhile, Eric Cartman and Heidi Turner have resumed dating after Cartman claims that Heidi was suicidal. However, Heidi gives Stan a voicemail by Cartman telling Heidi that he would commit suicide if she did not take him back. Heidi asks Stan to keep the voicemail secret but he shares it with the boys anyway, who make fun of Cartman. Cartman decides to raise awareness for his planned suicide but is told by PC Principal that the school is raising awareness for distracted drivers instead.

Tweek is calmed to learn that Kim Jong-un enjoyed the cupcakes he sent him, but his anxiety returns when Garrison goads North Korea by claiming that Tweek likely defecated in the batter. Cartman performs a song at school to raise awareness of his plans to commit suicide, but a student is hit by a driver distracted by the President's tweets. Cartman and Heidi campaign to raise awareness for distracted driving outside a store, but Cartman keeps telling passersby that he will kill himself if they do not get others involved. Heidi realizes that he is only interested in participating in this activity in order to get attention for himself.

North Korea fires a nuclear missile over Tweek's house, panicking Tweek further. Craig takes Tweek to an amusement park to calm him, but their whereabouts are tweeted by Garrison, leading to more vehicular fatalities and injuries by drivers distracted by Garrison's tweets. When Craig continues his efforts, Tweek angrily says that Craig's constant use of logic and geopolitical facts is not what he needs, which frustrates Craig.

During lunch at school, a memorial service is announced for the students killed by distracted drivers, but Cartman interrupts this to announce a gathering for suicide awareness, saying he may commit suicide during it. Heidi tells Cartman to stop his selfish behavior, and when Cartman questions what the memorial service will solve, Heidi says that it does not aim to solve a problem, but that people in pain sometimes need help sorting out their emotions in order to properly express them, rather than quick answers. This prompts an epiphany for Craig, who rushes to Tweek's house. Instead of arguing with evidence or reasoning why his fears of North Korea are unfounded, he simply expresses sympathy for Tweek, who is then able to express that he feels scared, alone and powerless. Tweek's anxiety subsides, and he conceives an idea. At a school assembly, Tweek and Craig perform a song, "Put it Down", which urges people not to use their mobile devices if they are elected the President, prompting members of the public to pledge not to do so. Cartman interrupts the song, joyfully declaring that he will not kill himself.

Robert Langen and Lutz Steffens have a research job to do on the desert island of Formitosa in the South Seas, where they are getting bored over time. In order to combat their homesickness, they want to exchange letters with young women from their homeland and a short time later their advertisement appears in a Hamburg newspaper. It didn't take long before the two received the first letters. Lutz got mail from a Monika Brinkmann, while Robert's correspondent was called Eva Gordon. There was an Eva Gordon, but the letters were written by Monika on a whim, without Eva knowing anything about it. But then the two young scientists were called back to their institute in Hamburg for a short time.

In a good mood, they go to the travel agency where Monika works as soon as they arrive. Robert's expectations were even exceeded, which is not surprising for a part-time photo model. Only Lutz is very irritated by Eva's reaction when he tracks her down. She puts a quick end to a first “approach” because Dr. Eva Gordon is engaged to her boss, the somewhat distracted mathematics professor van Mühlen, and the wedding is supposed to be the next day. Outraged, Eva goes to the police to report the misuse of her name and photo. Monika has no choice but to admit the fraud and apologize to Eva. In the meantime, she has found that the cheeky young man seems very amiable and that fate means well with her. After some small confusions, two couples in love travel to Formitosa.

The plot centres on a religious order issued by a Sultan, calling for all people with the "dubious power" of the evil eye to be blinded, and the subsequent terror campaign that follows. All this is narrated in a "fable tone of one thousand and one nightmare nights''"

Philip Carey plays Clay Hollister, an escaped prisoner, who returns to his native town of Warbow together with two accomplices, Red and Johnny, to recover $30,000 that he stashed there 11 years before. To achieve his goal, he takes local boy David Fallam (Christopher Olsen) hostage—only to learn later that the boy is his son.

General Daffy is commanding Army Post No. 13 on the frontier, and his troops are a sorry lot. Soldier Porky refuses to get out of his bed—that is, until Daffy comes in and eventually destroys it. Soon a tribe of Indians launches an attack on the post on horseback. Porky sees them approaching, and attempts to awaken the other sleeping soldiers. Among the subsequent gags are: An Indian drinks "fire water" and spits fire, carving an Indian-shaped hole in the front of the fort, then walks through it; a short Indian uses the bow-leg of a taller Indian to shoot arrows; and a soldier shoots over the wall at the enemy, keeping score to the tune of "Ten Little Indians." Porky abandons the cannon for pistols, and soon calls for more bullets. Daffy, loaded down with ammunition and running toward Porky, stumbles, resulting in Daffy swallowing a large quantity of bullets, and begins firing them off through his mouth, uncontrollably. Taking the situation in hand, Porky uses Daffy as a machine gun, finally driving off the Indian invaders, who carve into a hillside, "Yanks Beat Indians 11-3" as they retreat. The battle now concluded, Daffy is relieved, saying, "I'm sure that's glad that's over with." However, Daffy stumbles once again as he walks away, and again begins spitting out bullets uncontrollably, as the cartoon irises out.

This story is narrated by Eva Dorcas. She and her husband, Bee Dorcas are a religious couple who are both members of the Spiritual Baptist Church in a small Trinidadian community known as [https://geographic.org/geographic_names/name.php?uni=-1957616&fid=6033&c=trinidad_and_tobago Bonasse]. They all share their experiences about being persecuted due to their direct affiliation with their religion. They also share how they were betrayed by someone to whom they entrusted their faith for a change. Trust became an issue for the fellow characters since Ivan Morton betrayed them when he entered into the political life and evacuated the house his father built on his own to live in a colonial-era mansion, located on top of the Bonasse hill, that was once occupied by an English family known as the Richardsons. The community praised Bolo for his masculinity in defending his fellow neighbours until he was taken to prison. After his release he was no longer the person he once was, of which the community now fear.

The story begins when the daughter of the Montejo's, Alicia (Isabel Burr), is kidnapped in Acapulco, while her parents are absent for an important business dinner. The girl accompanied by her sister Pamela (Andrea Martí), is subtracted provoking a great sadness in her family for years.

Twenty years later, when her family has been able to resume their lives, Alicia reappears at Montejo's house to find answers. This fact will unleash a series of conflicts between the family because Alicia only seeks the truth and in this quest will find love in Salvador (Christian de la Campa), the betrothed of his sister, provoking a love triangle that will lead us to witness the obstacles that Alicia must cross to find out who or who were to blame for his tragedy.

Beginning in 1558, and continuing through 1605, the story chronicles the romance between Ned Willard and Margery Fitzgerald, as well as the political intrigue of the royal courts of England, France, and Scotland, and the oft-times violent conflict between supporters of the Catholic Church and the rising Protestant movement in the late 16th century.

As depicted in the early chapters, the city of Kingsbridge is ruled by an oligarchy of rich merchants, who sit on the city council, with the most powerful family holding the position of the city's Mayor. The plot focuses on three families which represent the main political and religious divisions in the English society of the time. The Fitzgeralds are a staunchly Catholic family, which under the Catholic Queen Mary gives them an advantage over the others and the position of Mayor. They seek to upgrade their social position by a marrying into the titled aristocracy. At the opposite pole are the intransigently Puritan Cobleys, who secretly hold Protestant worship - a highly dangerous act under Catholic rule. Their strong religious principles do not, however, stop the Cobleys from resorting to occasional underhand tricks to cheat their competitors and employees, and dabbling in the new lucrative field of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. In between are the more pragmatic Willards - nominal Catholics under Mary, but who would turn Protestant once Elizabeth came to power.

In the book's early part, the dominant Fitzgeralds make use of their alliance with the ruthless Catholic Bishop Julian to hit at their rivals. They get Philbert Cobley burned as a heretic for conducting a Protestant service and drive the Willards virtually bankrupt by strictly enforcing anti-usury laws which are usually regarded as a legal fiction (since in fact all merchants take interest on loans). This forces Ned Willard to take service with Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth, rather than pursuing his family's traditional commercial activities - eventually ending up as the Queen's spymaster. Later on, with the Protestants gaining ascendancy, they take revenge on the Fitzgeralds, making their commercial activity dependent on renouncing the Catholic faith - thereby driving Rollo Fitzgerald out of business and into becoming an exile Catholic Priest and a mastermind of Catholic plots against Queen Elizabeth with pseudonym Jean Langlais.

With these two major viewpoint characters thrown out of Kingsbridge and into the wider scene, the book's focus changes. Unlike the two previous novels in this series, a large portion of the plot takes place outside the town of Kingsbridge, utilizing such far-flung settings as London, Paris, Seville, Geneva, Antwerp, Scotland and the Caribbean, and involving many major characters who have no direct connection with the town. In the later part of the book, Ned Willard's nephew Alfonso restores the Willard family fortunes by conducting projects designed by his grand-mother and becomes the new Mayor like his grand-father. However, to the end of the book the local affairs of Kingsbridge remain secondary to the greater political and religious struggles.

The later parts of the book focus on the deadly battle of wits between Catholic conspirator Rollo Fitzgerald, hatching sophisticated dangerous conspiracies, and Ned Willard, the Royal spymaster tasked with uncovering and foiling these conspiracies. In many ways this echoes, under 16th Century conditions, the themes of Follet's WWII spy thriller ''Eye of the Needle'' - which featured a similar struggle between German spy Henry Faber ("Die Nadel") and MI5 spy catcher Percival Godliman.

An otherworldly being called the Beholder creates a featureless white orb, later named Fushi. Fushi takes the form of a rock, then a dying arctic wolf. Fushi meets a boy living alone who mistakes him for his pet wolf, Joaan. After the boy dies from an infected wound, Fushi takes his form. He travels south to the land of Ninannah, and meets a young girl called March, who was chosen as a sacrifice to a large white bear named Oniguma. March names Fushi and teaches him the rudiments of speech, and how to use his hands. Fushi defeats Oniguma, and he, along with March, Parona (an older sister figure to March), and the elderly Pioran, are taken prisoner by Hayase, to her home country of Yanome, Ninannah's overlords. They escape, but March is killed, sacrificing herself to save Parona and becomes a spirit. Fushi part ways with Parona and leaves Ninannah to escape the newly obsessed Hayase, who is determined to have Fushi for herself.

Accompanying Pioran, Fushi learns more language and begins to speak like a child. As they travel to Pioran's homeland of Takunaha, they are attacked by a plant-like being that can steal Fushi's forms and memories, a Nokker. The Beholder appears to Fushi to warn him, and Fushi kills it, regaining his memories. In Takunaha, Fushi meets a boy named Gugu, who was disfigured in an accident after saving Rean, daughter of the local lord. Gugu saves Fushi from another Nokker, and Fushi, Gugu and Rean become friends. For four years, Fushi refrains from transforming or creating items in order to live as a human. An armored Nokker attacks, and Gugu is killed, becoming a spirit like March. Fushi leaves Takunaha, paranoid of Nokker attacks, followed by Pioran.

Hayase pays a girl named Tonari to lure Fushi and Pioran onto a prison ship to Jananda island, where Pioran is imprisoned. Fushi enters the island's gladiatorial tournament, to free Pioran. In the final round, Fushi faces none other than his old enemy Hayase who confesses that it was she who had killed Parona, with Fushi assuming her form. This enrages Fushi, but he is defeated by her, who captures and attempts to rape him. Tonari and her friends come to try and save him, but at the same time, the Nokkers attack the island by entering human corpses, and three of Tonari's friends are killed. Fushi kills the Nokkers and leaves the island with Hayase, abandoning her to die in the ocean, where she is attacked by a Nokker and saved by a man whom she herself attacks. Fushi reunites with Pioran and travels to an uninhabited island, but she develops dementia. Before her death, she asks the Beholder to make her something useful to Fushi, her spirit being reborn as a horse who serves as Fushi's dutiful animal companion four decades later.

The middle-aged Fushi remains on the island for forty years, until Nokkers begin attacking humans off the island. As he prepares to leave, he meets Hisame, the nine-year-old granddaughter and reincarnation of Hayase's restless spirit. Hisame's left arm contains the Nokker which had merged with Hayase. The two travel to the site of the Nokker attack, where they meet the grown Tonari and Sander. Hisame tries to kill Tonari, and is wounded herself, but escapes. Tonari dies in front of Fushi, and becomes a spirit. Fushi rescues Hisame and refrains from killing the Nokker in her arm after she agrees to leave him. For the next two centuries, Fushi avoids extensive human contact, and is regularly visited by the obsessed Hayase's seventeen reincarnations and descendants/successors; one of which is a male named Kahaku. They establish a religious cult called the Guardian Force Unit, worshiping Fushi and opposing the Nokkers per the will of their great-great-great-great-grandmother. After rival religions begin denouncing Fushi, Kahaku removes Fushi from his solitude to further improve his image.

The two are captured by Bon, who had been instructed by the spirit of Tonari to find Fushi. Bon lends his princely approval to Fushi and the Guardians, becoming a target for those opposed to Fushi. Bon witnesses Fushi resurrect a dead princess, but hides the fact from Fushi. Fushi is arrested by another kingdom and forced to demonstrate resurrection but fails. Both Bon and Fushi are imprisoned, with Fushi encased in solid iron. Fushi escapes and rescues Bon, faking his death. The Nokker on Kahaku's arm warns that the Nokkers will attack the large city Renril in one year. Bon and Kahaku gather allies and warn the city, while Fushi further develops his ability to create objects from nothing after direct contact with them.

In disguise as an old man, Fushi destroys and recreates buildings in Renril as extensions of his body, and positions bodies he can escape to throughout the city. Hundreds of Nokkers attack the city using new tactics, and during the battle March is accidentally resurrected. Fushi passes out from the strain of defending the city, and three of Bon's allies are killed. When Fushi awakens, Bon tells him they are special and can return to life. Fushi uses them to defend the city, resurrecting them where needed. As the battle continues, Kahaku's Nokker attacks Fushi, returning him to his true form as the Orb. March finds Bon, who kills himself near Fushi, giving him his form. Able to see the spirits of his friends in Bon's form, Fushi remembers them and successfully returns them to life, and the battle is won as Fushi regains strength. Kahaku leaves the city with his Nokker, and later kills himself and his Nokker but not before expressing his strong love for Fushi that he inherited from being the reincarnation of his great-great-great-great-great-grandmother Hayase, vowing to pass on Hayase's bloodline to further generations until the end time.

Fushi tells his friends he will make the world peaceful, and resurrect them after he has done so. He sleeps and spreads his body across the planet, to stop the Nokkers from returning. Fushi's friends live their lives and all die as Fushi sleeps. After 600 years, Fushi's body encompasses the entire planet, now at a modern level of technological advancement. During his sleep, the Nokkers become understandably small, and begin secretly living inside of and controlling human beings. Another reincarnation of Hayase, and Kahaku's Nokker lives in the brain of Mizuha, the eighteenth reincarnation and great-great-great-great-grandson of Hayase, and this Nokker leads the others in preparation for Fushi's return. After awakening, Fushi resurrects the eleven spirits following him, including his closest friends March, Gugu, Tonari and Bon. The Beholder makes to decision to transform himself into a twelve-year-old boy, calling himself Satoru, ultimately abandoning his creation. Fushi meets a boy named Yuki, and Mizuha, who falls in love with him, angering her mother. Mizuha murders her mother, but she returns to life without Fushi's involvement, alerting him to the Nokkers' return. As he learns that the Nokkers are now living peacefully among humanity, Fushi becomes confused about what to do as he cannot defeat them, worried that he had resurrected his lifelong friends under false promises.

After finishing second to Walter Mondale in the 1984 Democratic Party presidential primaries, former Senator Gary Hart is now the widely accepted front-runner in the 1988 Democratic Party presidential primaries. Leading up to the formal launch of his campaign in April 1987, some of Hart's campaign staff are concerned that he won't open up about himself (letting the public "get to know him"), instead focusing on ideas and policy. Meanwhile, at ''The Washington Post'', editors and journalists discuss whether the paper should report on Hart's marital problems and rumoured promiscuity.

After the first week of campaigning, Hart joins his friend Billy Broadhurst for a yacht cruise from Miami to Bimini on the ''Monkey Business'', where he meets Donna Rice, a young woman. Days later at an array of pay-phones in an airport, two reporters (A.J. Parker of the ''Post'' and Tom Fiedler of the ''Miami Herald'') overhear Hart's end of a conversation, presumably with Rice.

On the campaign plane, Hart gets to know Parker, offering paternal advice and giving the young reporter a Tolstoy novel to learn about the Soviets. Later, in Iowa, Parker offends Hart during an interview by asking whether he has "a traditional marriage". Hart responds: "You want to know what I'm doing in my spare time, A.J., is that it? Follow me around, put a tail on me. You'd be very bored."

Meanwhile, in Miami, Tom Fiedler has received an anonymous call from a young woman alleging that Hart "is having an affair with a friend of mine". Fiedler dismisses the call at first, but ends up tracking two women on a flight to Washington, D.C., and staking out Hart's townhouse, where he sees Hart go out and come back with Rice. Hart eventually notices Fiedler's car and there is a confrontation, during which Fiedler asks about the woman and Hart denies any wrongdoing and asserts that his personal life is nobody's business. Knowing the story will hit the news, Hart phones his wife, Lee Hart, and apologizes.

After the story appears in the ''Herald'', Lee and daughter Andrea are besieged by reporters outside their home in Troublesome Gulch, Colorado. Meanwhile, in D.C., campaign staffer Irene Kelly is tasked with befriending Rice to try to get information from her, after which she sends Rice back to Miami, where her privacy is torn to shreds by the press.

Hart argues with his campaign manager, Bill Dixon, about whether to respond to the ''Herald'' story. Dixon thinks Hart needs to speak out to control the damage, but Hart vehemently argues that any response at all would legitimize the reporters' action and set a dangerous precedent.

The ''Post'' receives an anonymous package with photos taken months previous of Hart with another woman. Parker argues that reporting on this aspect of Hart's life is not good journalism, but the editor, Ben Bradlee, overrules him, indicating that they need to change with the times.

While preparing for a press conference, Hart's campaign team notes that polls show a majority of the public believes the media has gone too far in their coverage of Hart and that a candidate's marital indiscretions are irrelevant to their qualifications for being president. When told that reporters may ask whether he has ever cheated on his wife, Hart strongly retorts, "It's nobody's goddamn business!", which the team agrees is the perfect answer. Then Lee arrives, and the staff leaves. She tells Hart that she may leave him eventually, but not now.

At the press conference, it is Parker who asks whether Hart has committed adultery. Instead of giving the rehearsed answer, Hart weakly stammers that he doesn't think it is a fair question. Later, Parker asks for comment from the campaign on the anonymous photos the ''Post'' received.

Seeing how upset Lee is over the public scrutiny and its negative impacts on their family, Hart drops out of the campaign. Onscreen text states that "Gary and Lee Hart remain married to this day".

Michael Burnham receives the replicated uniform of a ''Discovery'' crewmember, without Starfleet insignia. She receives a parcel with the will of Captain Georgiou, but cannot bring herself to open it. Saru is unhappy with Burnham's presence aboard the ''Discovery''. The ship's crew is conducting a simulated battle with the Klingons and is repeatedly losing. Lorca assigns Burnham to study the creature from the ''Glenn'', a giant Tardigrade which destroyed a dozen Klingons, and find a way to use its biology as a weapon.

Starfleet Admiral Cornwall orders ''Discovery'' to the dilithium mining colony Corvan II, which is under Klingon attack. Corvan's workers extract 40% of the Federation's dilithium, which is needed for traditional subspace jumps. Stamets is reluctant to make such a long jump using the spore drive. Lorca suggests that he proceed by trial and error. When the spore drive is activated, ''Discovery'' nearly collides with a star. The Tardigrade reacts madly during the jump. Lorca threatens Stamets and forces him to continue the journey to Corvan, playing the distress call from the colony over the ship's internal communication system for the entire crew to hear. Lorca sends Commander Landry to keep Burnham's research on track, and Landry attempts to sedate the Tardigrade (which she names Ripper) to cut off its claw; it kills her.

On T'Kuvma's stranded ship, Klingon leader Kol bribes T'Kuvma's desperate followers with food to earn their loyalty, and leaves Voq to die in the wreckage of the ''Shenzhou''.

With the help of the reactions of Saru's threat ganglia, Burnham becomes convinced that Ripper was acting in self-defense. After learning about the reaction of the Tardigrade to the jump and its symbiotic connection with the spores, Stamets and Burnham transport the creature to Engineering. The Tardigrade connects to the spore drive and interfaces with the navigation system, acting as a supercomputer to calculate navigation coordinates. ''Discovery'' successfully makes the jump to the Corvan II colony and destroys the enemy ships, then disappears.

L'Rell, a Klingon who is secretly loyal to Voq, promises a way for them to win the war for the house of T'Kuvma. She tells him that the matriarchs of the House of Mokai are ready to help, but that he must sacrifice everything.

After the jump, Burnham visits the creature, which appears to be ill. Tilly persuades Burnham to open the package from Captain Georgiou. Burnham discovers that Philippa Georgiou bequeathed her a family heirloom - her telescope.

An introvert boy, Haruki Shiga (''Takumi Kitamura'') comes across a book in a hospital waiting room. Looking through the book, he discovers that it is a diary kept by his very popular classmate, a girl (''Minami Hamabe''). The girl, Yamauchi Sakura who happens to see him holding on to her diary then reveals to him that she is secretly suffering from a fatal pancreatic illness.

Sakura then playfully forces Haruki to attend to all her whims and fancies. Initially, Haruki begrudgingly accedes to her requests, citing the excuse that he is merely putting up with a sick classmate. However, as time passes, he finds himself being drawn to her and he begins to enjoy the time he spent with her.

After being raised as a Vulcan by Sarek, and becoming the first human to attend and graduate the Vulcan Learning Center and the Vulcan Science Academy, Michael Burnham is entrusted to Philippa Georgiou, captain of the USS ''Shenzhou'', by Sarek. Seven years later, Burnham is the first officer of the ''Shenzhou'', and has just disobeyed and attacked Georgiou in an attempt to fire, unprovoked, on a Klingon vessel, hoping to avoid an inevitable war. The Klingon outcast Voq, on behalf of his leader T'Kuvma, has just started a beacon that attracts 24 new Klingon vessels to the system, as Georgiou has Burnham imprisoned for mutiny.

The leaders of the 24 great houses question T'Kuvma's use of the beacon, which was prophesied to be used to unite the Klingon Empire once again. T'Kuvma is of a disgraced house, and the House of Kor leader Kol refuses to listen to him, especially given his acceptance of outcasts like Voq. T'Kuvma pleads with the other leaders to join him in fighting the United Federation of Planets, who he says intends to destroy their species' individuality. He predicts that reinforcements for the ''Shenzhou'' will soon arrive, and that they will announce that they "come in peace", and when these come to pass, the other leaders agree to fight.

The Starfleet ships take heavy fire, and the ''Shenzhou'' is almost destroyed, but is saved by the arrival of Admiral Brett Anderson and the USS ''Europa''. T'Kuvma agrees to a ceasefire with Anderson, but then sends a large vessel, hidden with a cloaking device, to ram and destroy the ''Europa''. The latter self-destructs, taking the large vessel with it. T'Kuvma proclaims himself Kahless, the ancient uniter, reborn, and allows the rest of Starfleet to escape as messengers of this. He sends the other Klingon leaders back to Qo'nos while he tends to their dead. In the damaged ''Shenzhou'', Burnham escapes the brig after telepathic encouragement from Sarek, and convinces Georgiou to take T'Kuvma hostage.

After using a photon torpedo attached to a Klingon corpse to disable T'Kuvma's ship, Burnham and Georgiou board the ship and attack. Burnham fights off Voq, but Georgiou is killed by T'Kuvma. Burnham fatally shoots T'Kuvma, before being transported back to the ''Shenzhou''. Voq promises the dying T'Kuvma that he will be revered for his services to the Klingons. Burnham is later court-martialed and sentenced to life in prison by Starfleet for her mutiny.

Six months after the start of the Federation–Klingon War of 2256, Michael Burnham, having been imprisoned for half a year, is on an unexpected prisoner transfer when an emergency forces her shuttle to be rescued by the USS ''Discovery''. Spending several days on the ship, Burnham is ordered by its captain, the mysterious Gabriel Lorca, to assist with a scientific assignment. Burnham spends hours poring over complex computer code to find an error.

She overhears Lieutenant Paul Stamets, an astromycologist who is leading the assignment, discuss an upcoming experiment with a colleague serving on another starship; Lorca is soon informed of an incident on the ''Discovery'' s sister ship, the USS ''Glenn'', that killed its crew. Stamets leads a boarding party, including Burnham, to investigate and finds the dead crew hideously twisted and malformed, as well as a group of Klingons who were killed by an unknown creature. When it attacks the boarding party, Burnham devises a plan to outwit the creature, allowing the rest of the party to escape to the shuttle.

Lorca later asks Burnham to work for him, despite her sentence, explaining that he organized the circumstances that led her to him, as he needs strong-minded people such as her to help him win the war. Burnham challenges him by saying she will not help him develop a weapon that goes against the Geneva Conventions. Lorca says he admires her and wants her on his team because she knows how to think for herself: "Universal law is for lackeys; context is for kings". He shows her that they are not working on a weapon but on a revolutionary propulsion method. After their conversation, Lorca talks to his chief of security, Commander Ellen Landry, to ensure his "package" is safely on board. Landry has secretly transported the creature aboard the ''Discovery''.

A serial killer stalks young women in Northern Wales. Known as the Wedlock Killer, he chops off a finger before brutally murdering his victims. Amid reports of a new victim, Laurie Wolf, a radio DJ, becomes bitter when her local radio program is cancelled and she has trouble finding a new job. On the last day of her show, she rants to her listeners about the disappearance of local radio programs and ignores the corporate playlist. Ben Evans, her engineer, suggests they have a psychic, Carla Zaza, as a guest. Laurie, a sceptic, reluctantly agrees when Ben says it will further annoy the owners.

Before the broadcast begins, Kate Komisarczyk speaks with Ben over the internet, upsetting her boyfriend, Nick Keller. Though Kate has refused to meet Ben, Nick believes she is being naive by befriending people from the internet. Kate and Nick leave her disabled son, Marek, with a babysitter. Kate tells the babysitter she is visiting Ben to attend the radio broadcast, but she instead drives Nick to a house he intends to burgle. Although Kate is nervous, Nick reassures her that they are not truly stealing anything, as the money is from a client who has refused to repay his debt.

Nick enters a nearby mansion and leaves Kate as lookout. As she listens to Laurie's broadcast, she fails to notice a bloody and battered ghost has momentarily appeared in her car. An old man surprises her when he approaches. When he complains she is on private property, Kate says her boyfriend has gone to find a petrol station and will return shortly. Dubious, the man insists on waiting with her. Kate listens to Laurie dismissively interview Carla. At the station, Carla becomes curious when she hears an anomaly in the broadcast, eventually convincing Ben and then Laurie that it is electronic voice phenomenon.

When Nick calls Kate to check on her, she uses the opportunity to get rid of the old man by saying Nick found escaped farm animals, assuming he is a local farmer Nick said may appear. Before leaving to investigate her report, the man indicates that he lives in the mansion. Confused, Kate demands answers from Nick, who admits his story is untrue; before he can explain further, he is apparently murdered. As Kate investigates the mansion, Carla performs a live seance. The spirit, Sarah, says the Wedlock Killer murdered her on a farm.

As Kate discovers Sarah's body in the mansion, the old man, revealed to be Nick's father, Alan, accuses her of killing his daughter. Before he can exact vengeance on her, the Wedlock Killer surprises and kills him. The Wedlock Killer expresses surprise that Kate is there, cripples her, and leaves to retrieve her son to kill in front of her. After Kate frees herself, she finds her dying boyfriend; Nick gives her the money and explains that he did not want her to know he was desperate enough to steal from his own family.

Marek becomes possessed by Sarah while listening to the seance on the radio. Kate leaves for the radio station, where her babysitter has taken Marek. When she arrives, she finds everyone but Marek and Ben dead. Ben explains that the show was recorded last night and was broadcast from tape. He plays the last part of the tape for her, where Laurie discovers evidence he is the Wedlock Killer. After sabotaging any parts of the broadcast that could reveal his guilt, he killed Laurie and Carla.

The story takes place in the ''Front Mission'' series during a conflict between two countries, Ruthenia and Garmoniya, formerly Ukraine. The game breaks the story into fourteen chapters and three characters individual stories. Players begin as Mikhail, a Ruthenian Wanzer pilot who must survive the loss of his Wanzer and fellow soldiers. The next character is Olga, a police captain and former soldier of the Garmoniyan Army before the city she lives in became part of Ruthenia. The last character is Leonid, a former Novo Slava rebel leader accused of murder. The plot begins with a surprise invasion by Garmoniya into the Ruthenian city of Novo Slava on the border between the two countries, the same city where Olga works. Koshka, the Ruthenia military's logistics and communications AI system, supports all three protagonists.

After enemy forces kill Mikhail's unit, he meets Patrick Lemaire, an agent of the Unified Continental States (UCS), posing as a journalist. Mikhail then recruits him into investigating a conspiracy involving an advanced prototype Wanzer and a virus known as MODS, both of which were secretly being developed in Ruthenia by rogue officials. Patrick explains that the actual reason is because Garmoniya is secretly acting on behalf of the Republic of Zaftra and its secret ruling body Semargl to obtain the virus and the wanzer.

As the invasion begins, Olga encounters a young orphan named Julia, whom she pursues to save her from a human trafficking ring run by the Garmoniyan military. Olga discovers Julia is a survivor of a Semargl research project which infected victims with the MODS virus. Leonid is framed for the assassination of Novo Slava's liberator and national hero, Ruslan Izmailov, and forced to escape during the invasion. He learns that Ruslan is still alive and is a deep cover Semargl agent. Seeking revenge, Leonid pursues Ruslan and kills him. However, Olga later witnesses an inexplicably alive Ruslan appear and capture Julia on behalf of Semargl.

The three protagonists meet up and head downtown to reach a rescue helicopter sent by Patrick. Olga goes off to rescue Julia, while Mikhail hijacks an unattended Wanzer to create a distraction. On his way to the rescue helicopter, Leonid encounters Ruslan, now revealed to be a cyborg. After a final confrontation, Leonid destroys Ruslan, and the three protagonists are picked up by Patrick's rescue helicopter as an international peacekeeping force arrives to take control of Novo Slava.

If all thirty civilians and four major supporting characters the protagonists encounter through the game survive, a secret ending will play. It shows Ruslan revealing to Leonid during their final confrontation that Semargl possesses a computer system called M3, which can predict the future. M3 predicted that human overpopulation would lead to humanity's decline, leading Semargl to use the MODS virus as a means of population control. An after-credits scene shows Koshka uploading all data acquired from the invasion of Novo Slava to M3 before "proceeding with the next phase".
