The player character is Wayne, a humanoid being with yellow skin and crescent-shaped horns. Most of the game's NPCs speak using random text generation, in a manner described as a deliberately misleading red herring, albeit consistent with the setting, with the player's goals being represented through environmental design instead. The world and characters are alluded to be posthuman in nature and the goal of the game is to defeat the king of the moon, whose name is Gibby.
Dan Torrance, still traumatized from his family's 1980 ordeal at the Overlook hotel, is guided by the ghost of Dick Hallorann to capture the ghosts of the Overlook in lockboxes. By 2011, he has become an alcoholic to suppress his shining. After moving to a New Hampshire town, he recovers through Alcoholics Anonymous set up by his new friend Billy Freeman and becomes a hospice orderly, where he uses his shining to comfort dying patients, who nickname him "Doctor Sleep". Meanwhile, the True Knot, a cult of psychics led by Rose the Hat, extend their lifespans by consuming "steam", a psychic essence released by torturing and killing those who have the shining.
In 2019, the True Knots are starving, as steam has become increasingly rare. They torture a boy to death for steam; a young girl named Abra Stone, whose shining is even greater than Dan's, senses this. She telepathically alerts Dan about the murder, but Rose senses Abra in the process. Rose projects her consciousness across the country and infiltrates Abra's mind, but is physically injured by a psychic trap set by Abra. Rose sends the remaining members after her for steam.
Abra informs Dan about the True Knot. Although he is initially skeptical about stopping them, he changes his mind and recruits Billy and Abra's father, Dave, to help. They successfully kill most of the group except Rose, but Billy and Dave are killed and Abra is captured by Rose's partner, Crow Daddy. Dan shines into Abra and saves her from Crow Daddy, killing him in the process. Dan brings Abra to the Overlook as a last resort, believing it will be equally dangerous for Rose. He starts the hotel's boiler and explores the dormant building, "awakening" it with his shining. At the same time, he has visions of his time at the hotel.
Rose arrives at the Overlook and overpowers Dan in a fight, but he saves himself by opening lockboxes in his mind and releasing the Overlook's ghosts. Drawn by Rose's power, the ghosts overwhelm and devour her, before turning on Danny and possessing him in a bid to try and make him kill Abra. After a brief moment where she cuts through his possessed mind, he tells her to save herself before the hotel overcomes him again. He goes to the boiler room but regains control before the hotel can make him deactivate it. Before he passes out, Dan sees a vision of himself as a child being comforted by his mother Wendy. Abra escapes as the Overlook burns down and the authorities arrive.
Sometime later, Abra speaks to Dan's spirit, assuring him that she is fine. Dan comforts Abra, telling her to "shine on" and not to hide her gifts from the world. She shares to her mother that she has been conversing with Dan and her deceased father and that they are okay. Abra later encounters Mrs. Massey, the ghost of the bathroom in the Overlook's Room 237, in her bathtub; she confronts it and closes the door behind her.
After being evicted from their home, Louis Creed, an ER doctor from Boston, Massachusetts, moves to the small town of Ludlow, Maine with his wife, Rachel, their two young children, Ellie and Gage, and Ellie's pet cat, Church. Exploring the woods, Rachel and Ellie stumble across a funeral procession of children taking a dead dog to a cemetery called "Pet Sematary." At the university hospital, Louis is left shaken after failing to save the life of Victor Pascow, a student who was fatally injured after being struck and dragged by a vehicle. He later experiences a vivid dream in which Victor leads him to the deadfall at the back of the cemetery and warns him not to "venture beyond." Louis awakens to find his feet and sheets caked in mud, suggesting that the events were more than just a nightmare.
On Halloween, Church is killed by a truck. Jud Crandall, their neighbor who has a soft spot for Ellie, takes Louis past the pet cemetery to an ancient burial ground to bury Church. The next day, Louis is stunned when Church returns home alive, though he is different: aggressive and violent, tearing apart a bird and eating it alive. Jud reveals to Louis that the burial ground brings things back from the dead and is believed to be inhabited by a spirit known as the Wendigo. He apologizes, having thought Church would return the same. After Church attacks Gage, Louis tries to kill him and he fails. So he decides to set him free in the wild.
During her birthday party, Ellie spots Church on the road and excitedly rushes to him, but is hit and killed by a derailed tanker truck. The family is devastated, and Rachel and Gage leave to spend a few days with Rachel's parents. Sensing that Louis is planning on resurrecting Ellie, Jud warns the grieving father that "sometimes dead is better." Though Victor's spirit similarly warns him, Louis's grief spurs him to carry out his plan. He drugs Jud, exhumes Ellie's corpse, and reburies her in the animal graveyard as the Wendigo looks on. Ellie rises from the dead but manifests a disturbing demeanor.
Meanwhile, Rachel is frightened by visions of her dead sister Zelda, who suffered from spinal meningitis and died after falling down a dumbwaiter shaft. Gage is also frightened by the ghost of Victor who tries to warn him about going home. Jud wakes up and spots Ellie in the house. He flees home in horror to retrieve his revolver, but Jud, distracted by a growling Church, allows Ellie to surprise him on the stairwell—slicing through Jud's Achilles tendon with a scalpel and taunting him with the voice of his dead wife before viciously stabbing him to death.
Rachel and Gage return home and encounter the undead Ellie. Rachel is horrified and flees with Gage to an upstairs bedroom. Ellie, enraged at being rejected by her mother, attacks Rachel as Louis finds Jud's blood-soaked body. Rushing home, Louis manages to save Gage just as Ellie fatally stabs Rachel. He locks Gage in the car, and Rachel begs her husband not to bury her in the pet cemetery. Ellie knocks Louis unconscious and drags her mother's body to the burial ground. At the pet cemetery, Ellie tries to kill Louis. As Louis prepares to decapitate his daughter, he is impaled from behind by a makeshift grave marker, falling and revealing a reanimated Rachel. Ellie and Rachel silently drag Louis away and he is subsequently buried. Rachel, Ellie, Church, and a resurrected Louis set fire to Jud's house before approaching the car. Louis peers into the car at Gage before a beeping sound of the car door unlocking is heard.
Louis spares Ellie instead of killing her, and they both bury Rachel behind the pet cemetery, promising that they will be a family together forever. After burning Jud's house, Louis and Ellie approach the family car, where Gage is still locked in. In the house, Ellie, Church, and a newly resurrected Rachel approach and reunite with an unhappy Louis holding Gage, who is crying.

In 1998, at the beginning of an episode of ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'', Mr. Rogers displays a picture board with five doors. Three of the doors are opened to reveal the familiar faces of Lady Aberlin, King Friday, and Mr. McFeely. The fourth door is opened to reveal the face of Mr. Rogers' troubled new friend, Lloyd Vogel, who has a cut near his nose. Mr. Rogers explains that Lloyd has been hurt (and not necessarily on his face), and he is struggling to forgive the one who hurt him. After explaining what forgiveness means, Mr. Rogers leaves to pay Lloyd a visit.
Lloyd Vogel is an ''Esquire'' journalist known for his cynical writing. He attends his sister Lorraine's wedding with his wife Andrea and their newborn son, Gavin. During the reception, Lloyd starts a fistfight with his estranged father, Jerry, over memories of Lloyd's deceased mother Lila, whom Jerry cheated on and abandoned, before being punched against the wall by another, explaining the cut by his nose.
Lloyd's editor, Ellen, assigns him to interview children's television presenter Fred Rogers for a 400-word article about heroes. Lloyd feels that the assignment is beneath him, but is informed that none of the other heroes were willing to talk to him. Still cynical, Lloyd questions whether Mister Rogers is "for real". Lloyd travels to the WQED studio in Pittsburgh to interview him. Rogers is dismissive of his fame and displays concern for Lloyd's nose injury. With coaxing, he relates some of the issues with his father, whose apology and attempt at reconciliation Lloyd has rebuffed. Rogers tells him his own ways of dealing with anger, include striking the keys of his piano.
Determined to expose Rogers' friendly persona as an act, Lloyd watches several episodes of Rogers' show, but can't discern anything. Interviewing Rogers again when he visits New York, seemingly dodging Lloyd's questions, he reminisces about raising his two sons. Fred takes out his puppets and asks Lloyd about his childhood rabbit stuffed animal and his father, provoking Lloyd into ending the interview.
Lloyd arrives home to find Jerry and his wife Dorothy talking with Andrea. He berates Jerry for cheating on his mother Lila, while she was dying of cancer. Ordering him to leave, Jerry suffers a heart attack, and is transported to the hospital.
Lloyd refuses to remain overnight at the hospital with the rest of the family and returns to Pittsburgh to see Rogers. Exhausted, he collapses on the set of the Neighborhood of Make-Believe and dreams about his repressed childhood trauma. In his dream, Lloyd stumbles into an episode of Rogers' show about hospitals, finding himself wearing rabbit ears and shrunken to the size of Daniel Striped Tiger and King Friday XIII, while Rogers and Andrea tower over him. Lloyd also dreams about Lila, who urges him to release his anger.
Rogers and his wife, Joanne, bring Lloyd to their home to recuperate. The men later go to a restaurant, where Rogers asks Lloyd to spend one minute thinking about the people who "loved him into being", and encourages him to forgive Jerry.
Lloyd apologizes to Andrea for leaving her and Gavin at the hospital and visits Jerry and Dorothy at their home. He learns he is dying of cardiac stenosis, the reason Jerry attempted to reconnect with Lloyd. Lloyd forgives him, promises to be a better father, and writes an article about Rogers' impact on his life.
Lorraine, her husband Todd, and Rogers visit Jerry. Rogers asks Jerry to pray for him before he departs. Jerry dies shortly after Rogers' visit and Lloyd's 10,000-word article, "Can You Say ... Hero?" is published as ''Esquire'' s cover story.
At his studio, Rogers finishes the episode he was earlier working on, opening the fifth and final door on his picture board, revealing a picture of Lloyd happily reunited with his family. As the production ends, Mr. Rogers plays the piano alone, stops, strikes the keys angrily, and resumes playing.
In 2019, two years after their previous adventures in ''Jumanji'', Spencer Gilpin, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, Martha Kaply, and Bethany Walker plan to meet up over Christmas break to discuss their first year out of school. The night before, Spencer, feeling despondent that his life isn't as glamorous as his friends', gets out ''Jumanji,'' where he had secretly rebuilt the console after its destruction in the previous film. When he is late to the meet-up, his friends visit his mother and are greeted by Spencer's grandfather, Eddie, and Eddie's estranged friend and former business partner, Milo Walker. Fridge, Martha, and Bethany realize he has gone into the game and they follow Spencer. Eddie and Milo are also sucked into the game inadvertently while Bethany is left behind, forcing her to go to the other ''Jumanji'' player, Alex Vreeke, for help.
Inside the game, Martha becomes an avatar named Ruby Roundhouse (whom she had been previously). Fridge becomes Professor Sheldon Oberon (who had been Bethany previously), while Eddie and Milo become Dr. Smolder Bravestone and Franklin "Mouse" Finbar (who had been Spencer and Fridge respectively). After explaining Jumanji's rules to Eddie and Milo, they encounter non-player character Nigel Billingsley, the game's guide, who reveals that ''Jumanji'' is suffering from a massive drought. To leave the game, they must end the drought by recovering a magical necklace known as the Falcon Heart, stolen by warlord and Bravestone's rival, Jurgen the Brutal. Transported to a desert to pursue Jurgen, and narrowly escaping a herd of ostriches, the team encounters Spencer who has a new avatar, a skilled female thief called Ming Fleetfoot. Apologizing for their predicament, Spencer joins them.
While attempting to escape the desert, they face new challenges and problems, along with collecting a Jumanji Berry and discovering a pool of glowing green water that allows them to switch avatars. However, the group struggles to adjust to the avatar changes: Fridge has trouble figuring out how Oberon is even relevant to the game, Spencer's meekness makes him unable to fully utilize Ming's skills, Milo's tendency to 'take the scenic route' when talking makes him unable to relay vital information quickly, and Eddie's hotheaded stubbornness costs the group several lives. Meanwhile, Eddie bickers with Milo, revealing their friendship ended when Milo sold their diner behind Eddie's back, forcing him into retirement. Traveling to a forest beyond the desert, the group crosses a series of rope bridges, while being attacked by a group of mandrills.
Successfully crossing the bridges, they are reunited with Alex, as his avatar Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough, and Bethany, who is now Cyclone, a black stallion who can only be understood by Finbar. As they rest from their battle with the mandrills, Eddie realizes Milo is terminally ill and wants to make amends before he dies, which leads them to reconcile.
Working together, the group traverses to Mt. Zhatmire and finds a river with the same glowing green water Fridge and Martha saw earlier, allowing Spencer, Bethany, and Fridge to return to their original avatars (Bravestone, Oberon, and Finbar respectively) again while Eddie and Milo end up as Ming and Cyclone. Shortly after, Eddie and Milo are captured by Jurgen's soldiers. Spencer, Martha, Fridge, Bethany, and Alex split up to infiltrate the fortress, rescue their teammates and get the Falcon Heart. While scaling the ice wall, Martha asks Spencer why he left his old life and her, and he says her success made him insecure. She consoles him, reminding him that friends are needed most when we feel scared and insecure.
Having successfully rescued Ming and Cyclone, the group proceeds to try fooling Jurgen into giving them the Falcon Heart necklace but is soon revealed to be lying. The resulting fight allows Jurgen to escape onto his airship followed closely by Spencer. Realizing Jurgen is vulnerable to the Jumanji Berry they collected earlier, Spencer incapacitates Jurgen and sends him falling to his death, allowing him to steal the necklace. Ming and Cyclone (who is revealed to be a Pegasus) fly towards the sky, letting the sunlight touch the necklace, therefore completing the game.
Returning the Falcon Heart to Nigel, Milo decides to stay behind and live out his last days protecting the land. Upon returning to the real world, Spencer teaches his grandfather about video games. Having gotten over his resentment, Eddie convinces Nora, the owner of his old diner, to hire him as a manager.
In a mid-credits scene, a repair man is brought to Spencer's house to repair the furnace but notices the video game console. Shortly after, several animals released by the game stampede outside Nora's, catching the group's attention.
Five months before the hurricane, Tami Oldham arrives in Tahiti on board the schooner ''Sofia'' and meets Richard Sharp, a British sailor. Richard invites Tami for dinner aboard his boat ''Mayaluga''. The two of them spend more time together and begin to plan a trip to sail to Japan.
While downtown one day, Tami and Richard bump into Peter and Christine Crompton, owners of ''Hazaña'', a luxury Trintella 44 yacht. The Cromptons offer Richard $10,000 and a return first-class ticket back to Tahiti to sail ''Hazaña'' to San Diego, California. Richard accepts the offer, on the condition that Tami come along and that they also give her a return ticket. Later, he proposes to Tami with a handmade ring, and she accepts.
The couple depart aboard ''Hazaña'', and after many uneventful days at sea, Tami and Richard receive news of an approaching cyclone, Hurricane Raymond, but decide to continue to San Diego anyway. As the storm hits, Tami tries to radio for help, with no response. The storm alters course and the yacht enters the eye of the storm. Richard and Tami have no choice but to lower the sails to prevent the boat from capsizing. Tami almost falls off the yacht as she is hit by powerful waves. Richard professes his love for her and demands that she go below where she will be safer. ''Hazaña'' is repeatedly flipped as she is hit by a towering wave. Tami is thrown about, suffering a head wound. Richard is thrown overboard after being knocked unconscious by the mast and his safety harness breaks. He slowly sinks into the ocean, while ''Hazaña'' is flipped, rights herself and floats to the surface.
Tami regains consciousness and struggles to understand what has happened. She urgently searches the crippled yacht in hopes of finding Richard and realizes that he was swept overboard. Tami screams in anguish and it is revealed that she is all alone, with no ships or land in sight. Tami finds that the engine will not start, and no one hears her radioed distress calls. She believes she has spotted the lost dinghy with Richard clinging to it, and she tries to steer the yacht towards him. She falls off and nearly drowns as she swims to rescue Richard. After dragging him aboard, Tami realizes that he has broken ribs and a shattered right shin. She fashions a makeshift sail using a broken pole and a storm jib, allowing her to sail toward Hawaii.
One night, she sees a large cargo ship heading straight for ''Hazaña'' and fires multiple flares, but the ship sails on past them. Tami wonders if she has been hallucinating, and Richard begins to suffer from a high fever. As the sun rises the next morning, Richard reminds Tami that a red morning sky warns of an approaching storm. Expecting a storm to hit, Tami prepares by creating a makeshift shelter, though the storm turns out to be just a minor squall.
The next day, Richard has disappeared. Tami realizes that the injured Richard on board ''Hazaña'' was nothing but a hallucination and surrenders to the reality that Richard was lost at sea. On the 41st day, Tami finally spots land and a Japanese research vessel in the distance and fires off two flares, successfully attracting its attention. The vessel lowers food and water supplies to Tami and tows ''Hazaña'' to shore. Tami returns to Tahiti after recovering and visits Richard's boat, bursting into tears after seeing the photos of Richard and herself. She goes to the beach with a frangipani flower, places her engagement ring around the flower, and lets it go in the water.
It is revealed in the credits that Richard Sharp was swept overboard and never found; Tami Oldham Ashcraft survived alone aboard ''Hazaña'' for a total of 41 days before she was rescued. She continues to be an avid sailor. During the credits, a series of news articles, pictures and a video of the actual Tami and Richard are shown.

Divorced father Jay drives his daughter Kayla to a ballet retreat. On the way, they find Kayla's friend, Britney, on the side of the road, and give her a lift to the same retreat. After pulling over so Britney can go to the bathroom in the woods, Jay hears Kayla scream and finds her sitting alone on a bridge over a river. Kayla claims she pushed Britney off the bridge. Jay checks the area for Britney's body, but does not find it and assumes she drowned and was washed away. Kayla finds Britney's purse and they go to see her mother, Rebecca, an attorney.
At Rebecca's home, Kayla tells her that she murdered Britney. Britney's father, Sam, arrives in search for his daughter. When he asks to speak to Kayla, Rebecca lies, saying she is at the doctor. Later on, Sam gets suspicious and returns to discover that Rebecca lied and Kayla is at home. After a physical altercation with Jay, Sam threatens to go to the police. Noting that Britney had a bruise on her face, Jay convinces Rebecca to try and put suspicion on Sam for the disappearance. She contacts a police associate, Detective Kenji Tagata, to accuse Sam of abusing Britney. When Kenji interrogates Sam, he denies hitting Britney and admits that she has run away before. Kenji interviews Kayla, who says that Sam has a bad temper and hit Britney before.
Sam spots Kayla outside Jay's apartment and tries to grab her, but she retreats back into the house as he is chasing her, banging on the windows, and screaming her name.

When Sam appears in front of their car, Rebecca purposefully drives into him. Jay and Rebecca consider calling for help before letting him bleed to death and leaving his corpse in the road.
The next morning, as Jay and Rebecca scrub Sam's blood off her car, Britney suddenly appears, alive and well, asking to speak to Kayla. Britney admits her disappearance was no more than an elaborate ruse between her and Kayla to allow for Britney to visit her boyfriend. Britney becomes uncomfortable and leaves after noticing a bloodied rag, and their suspicious reactions. Jay and Rebecca confront Kayla, who tearfully admits that she went along with Britney's plan, and escalated the lie by pretending to "push" Britney off the bridge, hoping that the pseudo-tragedy would bring her divorced parents back together. As the family embrace and Kayla begs her parents not to leave her, the doorbell rings and incoming police sirens are heard.
The film ends in two cliffhangers, the first in never revealing what would become of Kayla and her parents. It is also never revealed if Sam did, in fact, abuse Britney. Kayla said this to the police even when she knew all along that Britney was actually alive and well.

Shark conservationist Misty Calhoun is invited to visit the sea-based facility Akhelios by pharmaceutical billionaire Carl Durant. She and neurobiology students Leslie and Daniel Kim are taken to the facility by Durant's associate Craig Burns on a motorboat. When they arrive, they meet Durant, as well as the facility's crew, which include shark trainers Trent Slater, Mike Shutello, and Josh Hooper, and computer technician Aaron Ellroy. As a demonstration, Durant throws Aaron into the water, letting the sharks chase him: at the last possible second, he uses a special device to drive them away in formation. Durant explains that he has been genetically altering the brains of five bull sharks to make them smarter, which renders Misty concerned.
The group subsequently convenes in the wet lab, where Durant explains to Misty that the reason he invited her is that the alpha shark, Bella, has been acting strangely, to which Misty concludes is because she is pregnant. Durant is puzzled by this because her pregnancy did not come up on any tests they ran on her, and Misty theorizes that their genetic alterations hid this. Durant then brings Bella into the wet lab, and has Josh take samples of her saliva, although Bella attempts to bite his arm; he narrowly avoids this. Meanwhile, on the surface, a second shark pushes the motorboat into an electric control box, causing it to explode, and creating significant damage. This also shuts down some systems within the facility. The sharks then begin flooding the facility and Craig is killed while the others are inside the wet lab. Misty then realizes that Bella went into labor after being dropped back into the pool, and has given birth to a series of shark pups, which previously attacked Craig.
Mike attempts to swim to the surface, but one of the sharks knocks him unconscious; Trent rescues him and Misty manages to revive him. As he leans over the pool to pick up his mask from the water, one of the sharks beheads him. As a result of a lack of pressure stabilization in the room, the water from the pool pours in, and the group becomes separated, with Leslie knocked unconscious in the flooding; Durant and Daniel both end up alone. Misty and Trent become stranded together, as do Aaron and Josh. Trent reveals to Misty that Durant has been doing the same experiments on himself using a genetics-altering liquid to make himself more intelligent, due to his phobia that technology will one day rule the world. Durant reunites with Misty and Trent soon after, and they make their way to an air ventilation shaft that will lead to the surface.
Aaron and Josh arrive in one of the sleeping quarters, but the shark pups find them and kill Josh while Aaron escapes on an air mattress. Misty, Trent, and Durant arrive at the shaft, but Durant locks her out of the room after she attempts to find other survivors, which enrages Trent. The two manage to reach the surface. Meanwhile, Daniel finds Leslie behind a door, and the shark pups kill her in front of him. He is soon found by Aaron, who was attacked by the pups and lost the mattress, and they attempt to find a way to the surface. Misty, meanwhile, uses a blow torch to get inside the room with the ventilation shaft and is met by Aaron and Daniel. The shark pups then find them, and Misty distracts them while Aaron and Daniel begin climbing to the surface. The water rises as they climb to the surface, which allows the pups to reach Daniel and bisect him while Aaron reaches the surface. Meanwhile, Misty, using scuba gear she found in Trent's quarters, manages to swim to the surface and reunite with the others.
Realizing that the facility is sinking, and they cannot stay any longer, the group makes a break for the motorboat. Aaron is dragged underwater by one of the sharks while Durant is confronted by Bella, and seemingly scares her away. However, moments later, Bella jumps up and kills him, while Misty and Trent reach the motorboat and use two flare guns to kill one of the sharks. Aaron then jumps onto the boat, explaining that he escaped one of the sharks. Misty tells Trent that they cannot let the sharks roam in the open ocean, and Trent, explaining that Durant planned for this precise event, blows up the facility with a self-destruct mechanism, killing many sharks offscreen. Misty, Trent, and Aaron then escape on the motorboat. However, it is soon revealed that Bella and many of her pups somehow survived the explosion and are now free in the open ocean.

President Keane (Elizabeth Marvel) is livid when Wellington (Linus Roache) admits to ordering the air strike on her behalf after she refused to do it. Carrie (Claire Danes) witnesses the whole confrontation on her surveillance cameras. Carrie and Max (Maury Sterling) also look into Simone Martin's movements on the day that McClendon died. By accessing her E-ZPass logs, Max learns that her route took her to five separate cash advance locations.
In the midst of the standoff at Bo Elkins' compound, his teenaged son, J.J., chases his dog through the woods. He encounters an FBI patrol, who shoot the dog as it rushes towards them. J.J. raises his rifle and is also shot. As the patrollers tend to J.J., they are ambushed by Bo (David Maldonado) and several of his friends. They take J.J. as well as a hostage: Agent Goodman. Two paramedics are permitted into the compound to extract the severely wounded J.J. One of them secretly plants a listening device, enabling the FBI detail to monitor the conversations inside. At the hospital, a man (Costa Ronin) enters and puts on scrubs, posing as a doctor. He sneaks into the room where J.J. is being treated, takes several photos from behind the curtain, and gets away undetected.
Carrie, not wanting to deal with the side effects of Seroquel, buys some black market meds from Josh (Alex Hurt), and asks Dante (Morgan Spector) to help her manage her medication levels. Carrie also proposes to Dante a plan to connect Wellington to Simone Martin's dealings, but warns that it's "completely illegal". Dante agrees to collaborate with her.
On television, a news report breaks that J.J. was left to bleed out and die alone at the hospital. A photo is shown: one of the photos taken by the hospital intruder, with the doctors edited out of the image. Agent Maslin (Matt Servitto) sees the report and declares that it's not true, as he had just been in touch with the hospital and learned that J.J. was stable. Saul (Mandy Patinkin) frantically calls O'Keefe (Jake Weber), urging him to relay the truth to the Elkins family, but O'Keefe hesitates. Bo Elkins sees the report on TV. Enraged, he executes Agent Goodman in response. Via the listening device, Maslin hears the gunshot and orders an immediate assault on the compound. A major firefight ensues as O'Keefe hides in the basement. After the battle ends, O'Keefe uneasily walks past the bodies of his fallen allies as he is taken into FBI custody.
There is concern in the government over possible violence surrounding the Lucasville memorial. President Keane (Elizabeth Marvel) makes pleas to the wives of the FBI agents who were killed in Lucasville, asking them to also attend the memorial. The wives are received with hostility by the attendees until Mary Elkins greets them and invites them to sit with her. The evening proceeds without major incident.
After O'Keefe (Jake Weber) insists he had nothing to do with planting the story, Saul (Mandy Patinkin) comes up with a working theory — the fake news story about J.J. Elkins was disseminated by Russia. He visits Ivan Krupin (Mark Ivanir), a former SVR operative now in witness protection. They discuss Yevgeny Gromov, a Russian who sparked conflict in Ukraine with a similarly fabricated story. Krupin says he doubts that the Russians are behind this latest incident. Saul is unsure if he is trustworthy and requests surveillance to be placed on Krupin.
With the objective of connecting the McClendon assassination to David Wellington, Carrie (Claire Danes) assembles a team of friends from her CIA days. Along with Dante (Morgan Spector) and Max (Maury Sterling), the team stakes out Simone Martin's (Sandrine Holt) workplace, along with disabling Simone's car so she stays after her co-workers. When only Simone remains inside, three team members go inside to nab Simone and rough her up. Anson (James D'Arcy) gets Simone to confess that she withdrew $50,000 as a payment for the murder of McClendon, and then demands an additional $100,000 and releases her. Fully expecting Simone to immediately report to her handler, the team is gratified when her first phone call is to their prime suspect, Wellington (Linus Roache). Simone's subsequent visit to Wellington's house is caught by Carrie's cameras. Carrie watches the footage and is crestfallen when Simone merely has sex with Wellington, not saying a word about the shakedown.
Simone Martin (Sandrine Holt) is served a subpoena to testify in front of Senator Paley's (Dylan Baker) subcommittee. At a proffer session, she is shown evidence of her cash transactions, which was presented to Paley by Dante (Morgan Spector). Martin requests immunity in exchange for naming the person who ordered her to drop off the cash. When it becomes clear that Martin is going to implicate Wellington (Linus Roache), Carrie (Claire Danes) wants to disrupt the proceedings as she believes Wellington to be innocent based on her surveillance. Dante is able to dissuade her. Not knowing how to proceed, Carrie explains the situation to Saul (Mandy Patinkin). As they recount the chain of events, Saul helps Carrie realize that Dante was the originator of the lead on Simone Martin, and that Dante might have been setting Carrie up from the beginning to bring down Wellington.
Saul recruits ex-CIA Russia expert Sandy (Catherine Curtin) and tech guru Clint (Peter Vack) to begin investigating Russia's possible disinformation campaign. When a video of Wellington confronting Simone Martin goes viral, Clint deduces that the video originally came from a network of automated social media accounts —the same ones that disseminated the fake story about the supposed death of J.J. Elkins.
Krupin (Mark Ivanir) requests a meeting with Yevgeny Gromov (Costa Ronin) where he orders Gromov to cease operations that have led to the deaths of American citizens on U.S. soil, a violation of their protocol. Gromov dismisses Krupin's concerns as those of an outdated regime. Shortly afterwards, Krupin is drowned by Gromov's henchmen. Saul finds his necklace at the scene after receiving Krupin's distress signal.
Carrie organizes a celebration at a local bar, inviting Max (Maury Sterling), Dante, Anson (James D'Arcy), Stein (William Popp), Doxie (Clé Bennett), and Bennet (Ari Fliakos). Carrie seduces Dante and they go back to his apartment. As they kiss, Dante falls unconscious, having been drugged by Carrie. The rest of Carrie's team enters the apartment to search and take photos.
Saul (Mandy Patinkin) apprises Wellington (Linus Roache) of the situation with Simone Martin — that she intends to implicate Wellington in the plot to assassinate General McClendon, and that she's in league with Russian interests. A stunned Wellington sends a letter of resignation to President Keane (Elizabeth Marvel). Keane pays a visit to Wellington to inform him that she does not accept his resignation, as he is needed more than ever with her administration under attack.
Carrie (Claire Danes) and her crew leave Dante's apartment with as much evidence as they can collect, though they don't find anything immediately incriminating. The next day, an argument with Maggie (Amy Hargreaves) leads to Carrie taking Franny and moving out, albeit with no other place to live. Dante (Morgan Spector) offers to let them temporarily stay with him. Carrie snoops around Dante's apartment some more and learns that his ex-wife, Audrey (Tricia Paoluccio), works for the Department of the Treasury.
She tracks down Audrey and poses as FBI, claiming to be doing a background check on Dante for a job. Carrie learns from Audrey that some things Dante had said about his past — having a drinking problem, his wife being bipolar — were lies, and also that he had harbored resentment for "a CIA station chief" in Kabul, which was Carrie. Meanwhile, Dante goes to Maggie's house to search Carrie's room, under the pretense of fetching some of Franny's belongings, and discovers research that Carrie had been compiling on him.
Using his knowledge of Max's surveillance cameras as leverage, Saul forces Max (Maury Sterling) to join his task force, with the stipulation that all findings are to be reported to him, not Carrie. Saul is unable to convince a federal judge via a writ of mandamus to gather information from Simone Martin ahead of her hearing with Senator Paley, and decides to focus on Dante instead when Max deduces that Dante and Simone travelled to five European cities at the same time. That night, Carrie and Dante tease each other with the knowledge that they were spying on one another. As the tense confrontation transitions into sex, they are interrupted when agents charge in and take Dante away in handcuffs on Saul's orders.
The true climax of the episode is the final shot of Saul, looking at Carrie like a parent beyond disappointed at his once favorite offspring. And after Carrie pulls a blanket over herself and calms a frightened — and definitely traumatized — Franny, she watches as Saul walks in and surveys the scene. He just looks disappointed in his former pupil. Carrie, then, almost looks defiant, even though she's the one who did the exact opposite of what Saul had told her to do. Now Carrie's never one to shy away from a problem — at least, any problems over national security.
A Mexican family was chosen by NASA to head to Mars in order to stop an army of Martians from conquering Earth.
In Flint City, Oklahoma, the mutilated and raped corpse of Frankie Peterson is found. Fingerprints and DNA at the crime scene as well as witness accounts all clearly show local sports coach Terrence Maitland as the killer, so detective Ralph Anderson orders a public arrest.
Maitland claims innocence, having been at a conference with several other teachers in Cap City at the time, which the other teachers all confirm. Footage of Maitland at the conference as well as Fingerprints are found, casting confusion on the case.
On the day of Maitland's arraignment a large crowd has gathered around the courthouse. In the chaos, Ollie Peterson, the brother of the Frankie Peterson, starts shooting at Maitland, blaming him for his Brother's murder and mother's subsequent Heart Attack. Maitland is fatally wounded before Ollie is killer by the police. In his dying words Maitland still claims Innocence. After the incident Ted Peterson, Ollie and Frankie's father, attempts suicide, but is saved, leaving him severely brain damaged and in a coma, but still alive.
After Maitland's death, Ralph Anderson is placed on administrative leave, but continues to investigate the case.
Detective Jack Hoskins, who holds a grudge against Anderson, is sent to investigate an abandoned ranch outside of town, where clothes that the murderer wore are found. Jack is embraced by a shrouded figure from behind, and quickly flees the scene.
After establishing, through Maitland's wife Marcy, that Maitland possibly was in Dayton, Ohio at the same time a van involved in the murder was, Alec Pelley, an investigator hired by Maitland's Attorney Howard Gold, hires private investigator Holly Gibney to find possible clues in Dayton.
Hoskins awakes at his home and has what feels like a sunburn where the figure touched him. While in the bathroom, a presence appears behind his shower curtain and tells Jack that he has cancer and that it can take it away if Jack does what it asks of him.
During her investigation, Holly learns of a similar case in which two girls were killed in a similar fashion to Frankie Peterson. All the evidence in that case pointed directly to Heath Holmes. Holmes claims that he was out of town when the two girls were killed,and upon being arrested, committed suicide. Holly agrees to meet with the others in the investigation.
Despite a mysterious figure telling Ralph bad things will happen if they continue, Everyone meets at Howie Gold's office: Ralph and his wife Jeannie, Howie, Pelley, police lieutenant Yune Sablo, District attorney Bill Samuels, and Marcy. When Holly speaks, she shows them a few minutes of a Mexican luchadora film. The film depicts a mysterious presence kidnapping and murdering a child, leaving evidence that points directly to one man, who expresses his innocence, but is found guilty and subsequently hanged. At the hanging, the man sees the presence, called El Cuco. Holly states how she believes El Cuco, which she refers to as an outsider, is responsible for the deaths of the girls in Dayton and Frankie Peterson. Holly says that El Cuco (The Outsider) is able to mimic a person's appearance by absorbing their blood. Since Maitland was cut by the outsider imitating Holmes before the murder, they realize that Claude Bolton, a witness who testified being cut by Maitland's fingernail the day of the murder, is the Outsiders next victim. Since Bolton is currently in Marysville, Texas, Ralph, Sablo, Holly, Howie, and Pelley decide to fly down to Marysville to talk to him.
Fearing the Outsider could access his thoughts, Claude's mother, Lovie, tells him to leave, while she continues to talk to the group about the situation. Holly informs them that The Outsider is attracted to places of death and asks if there's any. Lovie says there is, and that some of Claude's relatives are buried there, after entering the local Marysville Hole, to find children who had gotten lost in the cave, but the search party was trapped in a cave-in. The group deduce that the Marysville Hole is where The Outsider could be hiding, and decide to go there the next day. The group drive to the Hole and are immediately fired upon by Hoskins, who's in a sniper position overlooking them after being sent there by the Outsider. Howie and Pelley are both killed and Sablo is wounded. A shot to their vehicle's gas tank causes it to explode. While leaving Sablo in cover, Ralph and Holly go into the caves where they are followed by Jack. Following a brief standoff, Ralph kills Jack Hoskins. Ralph and Holly make their way further into the cave where they are then greeted by The Outsider, who resembles a mixture of Claude and Terry Maitland.
Ralph prepares to shoot The Outsider, but is told that a gunshot could cause another cave-in, killing all of them. Holly insults the outsider and hits him repeatedly over the head with a sock full of ball bearings when he lunges at her. The Outsider begins to disintegrate and worm-like creatures begin crawling from his body. With The Outsider appearing destroyed, Ralph and Holly exit the cave. Holly and Sablo go to the Bolton residence to get their stories straight with them, while Ralph waits with the bodies of Howie and Pelley.
Later, DA Bill Samuels announces Terry Maitland's exoneration, alleging defective DNA samples as well as planted fingerprints, and confirming the video proof supporting Maitland's alibi, and Ralph says goodbye to Holly, thanking her for telling him to keep an open mind.

The team is reinforced by ''Oskar Schütz'' (Marek Erhardt), the most experienced police officer in the commissariat: an "instinct bull" and a loner. ''Cem Aladag'' (Arnel Taci), on the other hand, is a walking Wikipedia encyclopedia whose primary tool is its smartphone, which it can pull faster than others's weapon.

The United States launches three astronauts on a mission to land on Mars at around the same time that the Soviet Union launches its own secret Mars mission. On their way to Mars, the American astronauts encounter the drifting bodies of two Soviet cosmonauts, who they realize must have been buried in space. The American spacecraft lands safely on Mars, albeit farther away than planned from its accompanying supply capsule. The astronauts set out toward the supply capsule, leaving a line of balloons to mark their trail. They discover that there is a hole burned into the supply capsule's hull and that the balloons have been removed. They also discover a third cosmonaut, standing frozen in a state of suspended animation, who revives once brought inside the American spacecraft.
The astronauts then encounter a strange creature (called a "Polarite"), which threatens them but which they neutralize by firing beam weapons at its single red eye. Ground controllers advise the astronauts that the Polarites seem to be robots controlled by an external influence. An alien sphere appears on the Martian surface; when Duncan, one of the astronauts, approaches the sphere he is dragged inside by a mysterious force and killed. The sphere is emitting a force field which prevents the American spacecraft from taking off.
An attempt to escape by using booster rockets from the supply capsule fails. The cosmonaut tells the Americans that the sphere can be deactivated by destroying a disc inside it. Nick Grant, the American geologist-astronaut, volunteers to do so and succeeds at the cost of his life. Col. Mike Blaiswick, the surviving American astronaut, and the Soviet cosmonaut escape Mars in the American spacecraft and learn that Blaiswick's wife is pregnant.

In a Swiss village in winter, Walter is walking with Charlotte when they meet Clara. Walter hopes Charlotte will be jealous of Clara's good looks and become more interested in him. When Clara parts from them, Charlotte goes into her house and Walter follows her, though she does not want him to. Offering him food, which he refuses, she fries herself a steak and gives him a piece. He asks for a kiss and she refuses. She starts talking about Clara, who Walter says is more beautiful yet it is Charlotte he prefers. She does not believe him but notices that he is shivering, on which she hugs and kisses him. Then he walks her to her train.
Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn is retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, and living with anthropologist Louisa Bourebonette. Now a freelance investigator, he retains use of the department's computer facilities. Leaphorn carries wide respect for his pioneering crime investigation methods, and is a regular participant at their informal weekly breakfasts at the Navajo Inn in Window Rock, Arizona. As the story opens, Officer Bernadette Manuelito, Captain Howard Largo, and Officer Harold Bigman are being entertained by Leaphorn's story of an unnamed woman who set up an appointment with him, and then didn't show up. As Manuelito steps to a window to take a phone call, Leaphorn exits the Navajo Inn. She witnesses someone shoot Leaphorn in the head and escape in a 2-door blue sedan with an Arizona license plate. As an ambulance rushes Leaphorn to the hospital, the Arizona State Police crime team and FBI investigator Jerry Cordova interrogate Manuelito. Her husband Officer Jim Chee is put in charge of the investigation. Leaphorn had never updated his emergency contact information, so Manuelito is ordered to drive Leaphorn's truck home and to ask Louisa about his next of kin.
Gloria Bernally is the owner of the get-away vehicle. Her son Jackson, who uses it to drive to the University of New Mexico Gallup campus with his friend "Lizard" Leonard Nez, left it at Basha's grocery for her. Over her protests, the police search the car. Chee sends Officer Harold Bigman to search Leaphorn's hard drive and discs, which Bigman takes back to the police station.
At Leaphorn's house, Manuelito finds only the cat at home. Neither Leaphorn's cell phone nor Louisa's cell number can be found. A pottery book lies on his desk, as well as his phone charger, but no phone. Chee arrives and searches in vain for recent case files, but he finds old hard copy pre-computer files that he takes home to compile a suspect list. As they depart, Manuelito leaves her business card with a note, "Louisa, call ASAP".
The next day Manuelito is due for her weekly visit with her mother at Toadlena at Two Grey Hills, to relieve her sister Darleen as caregiver.
On her way, she stops by Leaphorn's house to see if Louisa has returned, but only finds a phone message from her indicating they had quarreled. She takes Leaphorn's cat so Chee the cat lover can care for it. She takes mail Leaphorn intended to post, including a bill for his services addressed to Dr. John Collingsworth in Santa Fe. On her drive to her mother's house, shes pulls over for a nap, awaking to find the cat is gone. At her mother's house, Darleen arrives drunk with Charley Zah, a.k.a. "Stoop Boy", and both quickly leave. During the visit, Mama Manuelito talks about a special old rug she wove. When it comes time to leave and Darleen has not returned, Manuelito asks neighbor Stella Darkwater to come stay with her.
When she returns home, Manuelito tells Chee she lost the cat. The Gallup Police could not find Jackson Bernally or "Lizard" Leonard Nez, who has no police record. The FBI have made Louisa a suspect because of her unexplained absence. Louisa calls Chee from Albuquerque, where she's awaiting a flight to Houston to go to a conference. She remembers that Leaphorn recently told her of "a ghost from the past", but she didn't know anymore than that. Louisa tells them he had no immediate family members she was aware of, but he kept addresses of relatives in his pocket notebook. She dodges when Chee asks her what kind of conference she's attending, and combined with her message on Leaphorn's answering machine, he believes the FBI will suspect her of a murder-for-hire. Chee and Manuelito go through the old files to compile a suspect list.
The following day, Chee goes to the Navajo Tribal Police station in Shiprock and compares the list of suspect names against the lab fingerprint report. The FBI wants to talk to Louisa. Chee receives a panicked phone call from Darleen who can't find her mother, only to receive another one that Mama Manuelito had spent the night in the Darkwater home.
Before visiting Leaphorn in the Critical Care Unit (CCU) at CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe, Manuelito posts his mail, except the one to Dr. John Collingsworth. Medical tests were run by neurologist Grant Moxsley, and the results sent to the FBI. In response to Manuelito's query about Collingsworth, Moxsley tells her is a director of the American Indian Resource Center (AIRC). Leaphorn lies in an induced coma, part of his skull removed to reduce pressure. If he survives, the long-term effects could alter his lifestyle and personality. When she is allowed visitation, Manuelito talks to him in the Navajo language. She's told by the hospital that Leaphorn's notebook is being held with his personal effects, and she examines its contents over lunch. Much of the coding confuses her, but on a hunch she asks reverse directory service on one set of numbers, which are found to belong to someone named Austin Lee in Farmington.
When Manuelito delivers Leaphorn's letter to Collingsworth's at AIRC, he is upset that it's only part of the information Leaphorn was supposed to provide. As Collingsworth explains, Leaphorn was evaluating the assessed valuation of a proposed acquisition from the Grove McManus Foundation, headquartered in Japan. The evaluation summary is missing. As she leaves, Collingsworth's secretary Marjorie Rockwell gives a tour of facility. Manuelito phones Officer Bigman and asks him to re-check Leaphorn's truck for a second envelope to AIRC.
Officer Bigman brings the missing cat to Chee after it found its way back to Leaphorn's house, but Bigman had found no lost envelope at the house. Internet searches brought up nothing negative about Jackson or Gloria Bernally. When Jackson is taken in to be fingerprinted, Chee believes he is lying when he says he does not know how to contact Nez. Eventually, he admits to renting out the car for extra money for school books, and that his mother does not know about it. Chee makes him hand over all the contact numbers on his phone. Jackson says Nez has an uncle with a ranch. After Louisa leaves Chee a phone message that she had to talk, his return goes went to her voice mail.
The police fingerprint analysis show that some of the prints from the car belong to Garrison Tsosie, whose brother Notah Tsosie went to prison for car theft because of Leaphorn. Garrison lives in Crownpoint. Manuelito dials Austin Lee's number, but it is not answered. Cordova wants an alternate number for Louisa, but no one has one. Manuelito is asked to submit to a hypnosis debriefing about the shooting. While examining Leaphorn's notebook, both Chee and Manuelito notice geometric sketches.
Chee takes care of feeding the cat and cleaning the cat box, and before heading out asks Manuelito if she can find a connection to any Tsosie in Leaphorn's files. She plans to look at her old college books at her mother's house for a clue to Leaphorn's sketches. At the same time, she intends to have a discussion on Darleen's caregiver responsibilities. Dr. Maxie Davis calls on behalf of Collingsworth, asking about Leaphorn's missing report. When Manuelito brings up Leaphorn's sketches, Davis dismisses them as having nothing to do with the McManus pots.
Mrs. Tsosie mentions to Chee that they are related. She believes her sons had no motives for harming Leaphorn. The family feels Notah deserved imprisonment, and he used it to get his GED certificate. She gives Garrison's address and phone number to Chee, assuring him her son has his own jewelry making business. At Garrison's home, Chee is invited in and told that on the day of the shooting, Garrison was selling jewelry at Earl's Restaurant on Route 66, later confirmed by Earl's manager. As he leaves Earl's, Chee buys earrings for his wife.
Back at Toadlena, Manuelito and Darleen clash over their mother's care. Darleen is more interested in being an artist and has followed the party lifestyle of her friends. Manuelito reads her old textbook ''Native Arts of the Southwest: Roots and Routes,'' a copy of which was also found on Leaphorn's desk. Seeing geometric designs that resemble Leaphorn's, she asks her mother, who says they look like ancient drawings at Chaco Canyon. The books says they are Pueblo Bonito jars. Manuelito finds a picture of a Klah rug she believes was at the AIRC museum. Mama wants to see it. Manuelito returns home to an empty house, and only the cat to keep her company. When Chee arrives, he presents her with a cake, the earrings, and a thumb drive with Leaphorn's missing report on it.
Leaphorn's report verifies that most of the original valuations were accurate, but there were exceptions in 2343–2355 that had troubled him. The original appraisal firm was listed as EFB. Photos of the exceptions are included and are shown to be tall cylinders; nevertheless, Leaphorn believed the collection could be shown on a contingency basis to the public without problems. Dr. Davis offers to update the valuations, but Manuelito intends to hand the report as is over to Collingsworth.
On their way to Santa Fe for Manuelito to be debriefed by a hypnotist, she speculates about the nature of the argument between Louisa and Leaphorn, and wonders how she could have just dropped out of sight. Chee brings up the murder-for-hire theory floated by the FBI. At the New Mexico State Police Building in Santa Fe, Manuelito's hypnosis session brings up a memory of the shooter's black gloves and sand-cast silver bracelet with linked hearts. Afterwards, they pay a hospital visit to Leaphorn who has improved but is still unable to speak. In response to Chee's prompt, Leaphorn raises a finger to indicate he wants a singer to pray over him. Chee will do the sing.
At the AIRC, Chee and Manuelito are given clearance to view the Klah rug that she believes was in her book. Since Manuelito's last visit, the original copy of Leaphorn's lost report has been found, minus the pages about the exceptions. EFB is owned by Eleanor Friedman-Bernal. Unable to locate EFB Appraisals on the AIRC computers, Chee gets the information from Rocko Delbert, a former Navajo police officer. After the divorce from Bernal, she reverted to the name Ellie Friedman. When they arrive at the address provided by Delbert, EFB is closed. The property owner Janelle mentions that Friedman's car is still parked there, but Friedman seems to have vanished. Let inside EFB by Janelle, the interior is ransacked, but the exceptions that were missing from Leaphorn's report are there along with a phone number. Chee remembers that he and Leaphorn once rescued Ellie Friedman at Chaco Canyon when a man named Randall Eliott tried to kill her. After finding her residence unlocked, she is considered a missing person.
Austin Lee's ex-wife returns a message from Cordova at the FBI to let them know he is a clan brother to Leaphorn. After Chee notifies Cordova and Largo about Friedman's disappearance, he and Manuelito head for the Santo Domingo Pueblo. Jackson Bernally phones Chee to tell him that he uses his mother's car on the weekends at his southern Colorado job on the Double X Ranch. The employees leave their keys in the cars in case they have to be moved, thereby providing the opportunity for anyone to make a copy of a key. He gives Chee the ranch phone number, and it's the same number Chee had seen next to Friedman's phone. Chee passes the follow-up information of the ranch to Manuelito.
After camping overnight at Chaco Canyon, they meet fellow camper Karen Dundee from Denver. When Karen finds out they're law enforcement, she relates recently witnessing an argument between two people, a woman wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and the other person with a "dorky-looking" khaki hat. Dorky Hat seemed to be physically forcing the woman along. Karen saw Dorky Hat run away, but the woman had disappeared. Shortly thereafter, Karen heard a loud bang. Chee and Manuelito report the incident to ranger Andrew Stephen who is personally acquainted with Friedman, but hasn't seen her around in a long time. After looking for pottery books at the park station, they hike to Una Vida. Chee remembers seeing Maxie Davis in the canyon years ago, when he and Leaphorn rescued Friedman from Randall Eliott .
The Double X Ranch does not fall under Navajo jurisdiction, but owner Slim Jacobs agrees to be interviewed by Manuelito. When she arrives, she noticed the parked cars with windows down and keys in the ignition, verifying that part of Bernally's story.
Friedman had a recent appointment with Jacobs, but she never showed up. She and Jacobs had dated when she worked at Chaco Canyon, having met when Jacobs hired her for a small appraisal job. He says Chaco Canyon pottery was her specialty, and someone hired her to do an appraisal when the original shipment of Chaco Canyon Anasazi antiquities were sold to a buyer in Japan. She was angry the antiquities were going out of the country. Jacobs provides Manuelito with a photo of Friedman and Maxie Davis, but he doesn't recall ever hearing Leaphorn's name. Friedman and Davis had set up a dig on the ranch, with Friedman doing the digging and Davis taking the photos.
Nez is a rodeo fan. Jacobs says to check who is offering a prize in bronc riding, and Nez will be there. Jacobs thinks Jackson acts as Nez's manager to pick up girls. At the ranch, Jackson is a bookkeeping assistant. Inasmuch as he has an interest in archeology, h also works for Maxie Davis. According to Jacobs, Davis recently showed up at the ranch trying to retrieve any old photos of her with Friedman. After Manuelito completed the interview, she told Chee to run a background check on the whole bunch.
Back in Shiprock, Chee checks in with the station prior to visiting Mrs. Bernally, and Largo remonstrates Chee for the side trip to Chaco Canyon. Ranger Stephen found a woman's body on the trail, and Cordova is conducting an investigation at the canyon. Largo sends Chee back to the canyon to assist Cordova. Tim Morris, a San Juan County deputy is out there. As he walks out to Cordova, he notices unusual shoe tracks and unfiltered cigarette butts. The victim is wearing a sand-cast silver bracelet, with linked hearts.
Manuelito visits her mom, tells her about Chaco Canyon and her interview with Slim Jacobs. Darleen shows up drunk, but only stays long enough to get into "Stoop Boy"'s car. Mama shows Manuelito some magazines and catalogs brought over by Stella Darkwater, because one of mama's rugs that had been auctioned off is in there. The cylinders in the book are double the price of the pots. Manuelito looks through her old books and finds that the cylinder pots were the only ones made in the pueblo, making them more priceless. Largo phones and says she needs to be back at work on Monday.
Rev. Rodriguez from the Santa Fe hospital calls with an update that Leaphorn has pneumonia. He clears Chee for the sing, but specifies no smoke or loudness out of respect to other patients. Mr. Darkwater agrees to stay with Mrs. Manuelito until Mrs. Darkwater comes home. As they drive to Santa Fe, Manuelito tells Chee about the rugs in the catalog. At the hospital room, they notice Leaphorn has a grayish cast to his skin, and Chee invites Rodriguez to add his own prayers to the sing. When they're finished, Leaphorn awakens and draws two peaks and a valley on a piece of paper. Chee and Manuelito sit with him until sunrise. The next morning, Louisa has finally arrived to relieve them. Chee leaves for the AIRC to take photos of the rugs for Manuelito. Gardener Yazzie sends him to Dr. Davis inside the museum. Chee takes photos of flowers outside, and sends Manuelito a picture with "Guess where I am" message. But he can't get a signal in the exhibit room, so he can't send or receive messages. Davis is waiting for him with a gun.
Davis puts the gun down when she realizes it's Chee, and claims to be nervous about intruders and is there making room for the new acquisition. He asks about the sand-cast silver bracelet with linked hearts on her wrist, and she says it was made by Notah Tsosie, who also made bracelets for her boyfriend Randall and for Friedman. She then begins to rant about Friedman, accusing her of lying about Randall, causing Leaphorn to leave him in the canyon to die. Davis had made fake cylinders for Japan, stashing the real ones at a storage shed in Cuba. When Leaphorn figured out why she had under-valued the cylinders, Davis claims Friedman she shot him to save her business reputation.
Louisa has explained her absence as being in Houston being examined for an auto-immune disorder. Cordova calls Manuelito relaying that the dead woman in the canyon was Friedman, and that she was shot with the same calibre bullet as Leaphorn. Chee's requested background check on Davis reveals she was in the National Guard and married to a police officer. Both filed claims of domestic violence against one another, and Davis filed for divorce. He disappeared, and his body was found years later with a bullet in his skull.
Manuelito begins to worry when Chee does not answer his phone, and Louisa loans her car to help find him. At AIRC, Mark Yazzie says Chee was headed to the museum where Davis was working. The museum is locked, and Davis' car is gone. She runs into Rockwell and asks her to call the campus police who let her into the museum, mentioning that Davis left a half hour earlier. They find Chee's cell phone on the bloody carpet and report to the police that he's been kidnapped.
Manuelito arrives at the storage sheds in Cuba, and arms herself with the gun in Louisa's glove box. Identifying herself as Navajo Police at the storage office, she's told a woman with Friedman's ID has gone to the locker. Manuelito tells the office to summon assistance from local police. Inside the locker, Chee is tied to a mattress on his back, while Davis is shouting that he's going to hell. As she's sneaking in, Davis sneaks up behind and tasers Manuelito, and ties her up. It's then Manuelito see the black gloves and bracelet, and knows Davis is the one who shot Leaphorn. Davis rants about renting Jackson's car on the ranch and making a copy of the key. She pours gasoline and sets the ignition to a timer, driving off. Manuelito manages to wriggle free and defuse it.
Manuelito frees Chee, and finds a phone to call 911. After rescue by the Cuba police, Cordova arrives to tell her he interviewed Nez, who was so obsessed with rodeo that he wasn't aware the rest was happening, and doesn't know the parties involved. Davis is apprehended by the FBI. When they go back to the hospital, Austin Lee is visiting Leaphorn. Manuelito tells her about taking their cat, and Louisa says it wasn't their cat, just a stray.
The Leaphorn Award of Valor is established by the FBI, and Manuelito is the first recipient.

The story covers four days in September 1943.
His Majesty’s Destroyer ''Hecate'' is on independent patrol in the South Atlantic, when they detect by radar a distant object. Coming closer, it proves to be a German U-boat running on the surface. ''U-121'' is in fact on its way to rendezvous with a German merchant raider in the South Atlantic Ocean, where they are to collect vital documents concerning British cyphers. The submarine does not detect the approach of the ship for some time, believing the radar contact to be a ‘ghost echo’. When the contact is eventually identified and reported to the commander, Peter von Stolberg, he is furious with the watch officers for the delay. He immediately orders the U-boat to dive.
John Murrell, Captain of the ''Hecate'', proves himself a match for the wily U-boat ''Kapitän'' von Stolberg, a man from an aristocratic background who is not enamoured with the Nazi regime. A prolonged and deadly battle of wits ensues that tests both men and their crews. Each man grows to respect his unseen opponent.
Murrell stalks the U-boat and subjects von Stolberg and his crew to multiple depth charge attacks. Von Stolberg unsuccessfully tries to torpedo the destroyer.
The submarine, badly damaged and critically short of air and battery power, is forced to the surface, and a gun battle takes place. The destroyer also is badly damaged; she loses steam and therefore all power. Many sailors are killed or wounded. But they manage to send off a radio message on an emergency short-range transmitter.
Eventually, both commanders order Abandon Ship, and the survivors pile into lifeboats.
Murrell and von Stolberg find themselves in the same lifeboat. Murrell assumes that von Stolberg will now formally surrender, but in fact, the latter demands that Murrell surrenders, believing that the German ship they are to rendezvous with is very close. The two commanders, now angry, engage in fisticuffs. von Stolberg is nearly knocked into the sea by a punch from Murrell and the latter is struck with a wooden oar by an enraged young German sailor.
As all this is going on, HMS ''Marabout'' arrives to take off the survivors. Her Captain cheerfully reports that her two companion ships are busily engaged in sinking the German raider.

The protagonist, a store owner Ed Loyce, is disturbed when he sees a stranger hanging from a lamppost, but finds that other people consider the apparent lynching unremarkable.
He finds evidence that alien insects have taken over, manages to get out of town, talks to the police commissioner, who believes him, and after getting all the information about what Ed knows, explains that the body was hung to see whether anyone reacted to it, anyone they didn't have control over. He then takes Ed outside and hangs him from a lamppost.
The television adaptation differs from the short story in having a more political focus. The protagonist, Philbert Noyce played by Mel Rodriguez, is a low-motivation quality-control worker in an automated factory. Noyce hears and sees the phrase "kill all others" used during a television appearance by the sole candidate for the presidency in the one-party state of MexUsCan. Few others acknowledge seeing or hearing the message, but many are affected by it. Only one of Noyce's co-workers seems to believe what he says about the message and the political system. He becomes increasingly agitated by this policy statement and his totalitarian society over the course of the episode. His wife, workmates, and fellow citizens remain unconcerned by the "kill all others" message and by their society's heavy-handed responses to his concerns. A new, large, illuminated "kill all others" billboard appears with what looks like a body hanging in front of it, which doesn't appear to bother anyone. Noyce, now evading the authorities, who have identified him as an "other" and having his flight being broadcast on live television, climbs up on the billboard. He yells "we're all others!" and verifies that it's a real person in the noose by jumping onto him before falling off the billboard. His body is eventually hung in the place of the previous one.

The re-enactment of a long dress era in the 1960s is thought to be the heyday of traditional Vietnamese costumes. Interwoven into that transformation in the style and style of the áo dài in modern times are told through the story of Miss Ba. Audiences will also see somewhere the image of the 1960s–70s full of honest women. An image of Saigon in the past, gentle and steeped in contrast to the rush of a dynamic city will be described by fashion, namely áo dài. All of them are cleverly nested in the story between two families, between mothers and their children, between a tailor and a fabric shop filled with dramatic rage.
In 1969, the tailor house Thanh Nu is considered to be the most famous tailor house in Sai Gon. Nine generations of the family have spent their entire life tailoring ao dai. The owner who is Thanh Mai has two daughters: Nhu Y who is her biological daughter and Thanh Loan who was adopted. Thanh Loan enjoys tailoring ao dai while Nhu Y prefers designing Westernized outfits, since she claims ao dai is old-fashioned and doesn't have variety of designs. Thanh Mai advises Nhu Y to focus on learning how to make ao dai but she neglects, because she only likes Western style. One day, Thanh Mai uses a unique piece of fabric passed down from her ancestor, to make a beautiful ao dai. Nhu Y sees it (due to her name is embroidered on that ao dai) and decides to try it on. Strange thing happens as soon as she tries it, the piece of jade sends her to the year of 2017.
Nhu Y falls on An Khanh (as Nhu Y in 2017) as she is about to attempt suicide, causing the piece of jade to detach from the ao dai. Nhu Y is shocked to know that the tailor house Thanh Nu has been closed and barely believes that An Khanh is her in the future, and how Sai Gon has become greatly modernized. Her house is empty and quiet. It's revealed that after Thanh Mai had died, Thanh Loan was told to leave the house by An Khanh so An Khanh could open a Western tailor house, however the business failed shortly afterward. This causes An Khanh to become an alcoholic. Thanh Loan opened her own business mainly focusing on tailoring ao dai, she later has two kids: Helen and Tuan. Helen is a famous fashion designer while Tuan is working at Helen's company.
Helen agrees to help An Khanh keep the house, however Nhu Y must work for her in exchange. Nhu Y works as a cleaner while Tuan helps her adapt to modern life. The company needs some 1960s inspired designs which is An Khanh's specialty so she helps Helen. Being impressed by Nhu Y's talent, Helen assigns her to ao dai designing. This is her big challenge since she has always hated ao dai and doesn't know how to do that. At the same time, she would like to tailor ao dai following Thanh Nu's traditional way, which will help Thanh Nu regain its reputation.
An Khanh meets Thanh Loan in order to apologize and ask Thanh Loan how to tailor ao dai properly. Later, Thanh Loan gives An Khanh an envelope which is the letter from Thanh Mai attaching ao dai tailoring method. An Khanh and Nhu Y together practice on how to make ao dai.
In the fashion event, model Trang Ngo and many models wear Nhu Y's collection on the catwalk. While the show is going on, Helen intends to switch Nhu Y as the designer into her name in the script, however Tuan catches and confronts her to carefully consider about her decision. Finally, the show is a success as Nhu Y expresses her thought on the collection, sends her thank to Helen. Right after that, the tailor house Thanh Nu is reopened.
Nhu Y wears the ao dai with the piece of jade attached, the magical jade sends her back to 1969. She meets her mom again and apologizes her, saying she's knows how to make ao dai. Both of them joyfully dance together.
You control a team of four adventurers (Anthea, Helena, Horace and Moroth) as they attempt to escape the multi-level dungeon they have fallen into.

A hospital morgue experiences an electrical surge which shocks a stillborn baby, bringing her back to life. A disturbed attendant called Ken, who secretly takes photographs of corpses in the morgue, adopts the baby as his sister. Given the name Tess, the resurrected girl has the power to manipulate electricity. She is left unaware of the circumstances of her "birth", believing that she was abandoned by mistake rather than outright dead. On her 16th birthday, Tess discovers Ken's illicit photos, angering Ken, who attacks her. Tess's power awakens and she kills Ken.
Tess then goes looking for her biological mother, actress turned drama coach Lena O'Neill. Reluctant to reveal her identity straight away, she tries to get closer to Lena by infiltrating her group of drama students. As she gains more control over her power, Tess confronts and kills the physician who unsuccessfully delivered her, Dr. Ince, as well as Lena's agent Dory and student Gia.
Eventually the police, led by Detective Fox, link Tess to the murders. Tess admits her identity to a shocked Lena. Fox calls Lena to warn her of Tess's true nature, but Tess, not wanting to lose her mother again, grabs hold of Lena and refuses to let her go. Fox arrives and fatally shoots Tess.
In the final scene, Lena and Fox are laying flowers at Tess's grave when a decomposing arm bursts through the soil and grabs Lena. The scene suddenly cuts to Lena waking up in bed, apparently from a nightmare. This is then shown to be a scene from a film she is starring in: ''Darklands'', directed by Peter Bogdanovich.
The play centers on Caitlin Gabriel, a high-school student in an unnamed town who survives a school shooting, then struggles to relay her version of events against eyewitness reports from fellow survivors that she informed the shooter, who is based on Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, where other students had hidden. Even her own parents accept media reports of this accusation, which spark widespread revulsion towards her in the aftermath of the shooting.
''Street Smart'' follows the story of Steve who puts together a disorganised criminal gang out of his parents' garage in a western suburb of Sydney. He is thwarted by his nemesis and cousin Joseph, a professional parking inspector with the help of his workmate, Tia, a probationary parking officer.
Danny Mitchell and friends, Squeaky Foley, Gerald Hebble, Nip and Tuck Worden hang out in their clubhouse, listening to the radio serial "Fang, the Detective Dog" while they collect enough Vitabark box tops to send off for a book ''How to Train Your Dog to Be a Detective'' so they can train Danny's German Shepard, Rusty. The clubhouse is on private property belonging to retired lawyer Franklyn B. Gibson, who instead of running the boys off, uses it as an opportunity to teach a lesson in responsibility.
When a mysterious young man Jed Barlow and his German Shepard Barb move to Lawtonville, rumors soon spread that Jed is a former "jailbird" based on a letter addressed to him from a U.S. Army Military Prison. Barlow is surly and uncommunicative, but Danny befriends him when Rusty becomes friends with Barb.
Barlow is sharecropping the old, dilapidated, empty Gruber farm and is arrested when the townspeople accuse him of deliberately injuring Rusty while dynamiting a tree stump. Danny, refusing to believe Barlow would deliberately harm Rusty, convinces Mr. Gibson to defend Barlow. During the trial Barlow testifies that he is a veteran spurned by his girl friend and has become embittered at the world as a result.
Mr. Gibson uses Barlow's testimony to argue that society is too often quick to judge people on outward appearances. Jed Barlow's main accuser Gerald Hebble's older brother Luther is charged with slander and the two German Shepards, Rusty & Barb, become real good friends, hence the movie's title.
In July 1945, at the conclusion of the war in Europe, a war correspondent by the name of Kersh is on board the RMS Queen Mary with thousands of American soldiers returning home. He expects to be sent to the Pacific to cover the conflict there. While drinking the last of the whisky he smuggled aboard for the days of the voyage, he is accosted by Corporal Cuckoo, a man apparently about 30 years old covered in battle scars, more than could be had in the latest war, and more than an ordinary man could survive.
Cuckoo tells his tale after downing all the remaining whisky. He was born in France in 1507 and named Lecoq, but gained the name "Lecocu" after he was cuckolded by his wife. Under that name he served as a foot soldier, and was mortally wounded at the Battle of Turin in 1537. He took a deep wound in his skull, but after treatment by Ambroise Paré using his own "Digestive", he came back to life. Paré tried to keep Lecocu for his own study, but Lecocu escaped with a copy of Paré's notes on the creation of the Digestive. Lecocu was illiterate but eventually found a student in Paris who could read the notes. The Digestive was originally just turpentine, egg yolks and oil of roses, but Paré added honey for Lecocu's treatment. Lecocu had by this time realized that any wound he received healed quickly. He intended to recreate the Digestive and sell it, but despite following Paré's procedure carefully he could not get the same results. As the years passed he realized he did not age, and could not die. He became a pirate, then returned to soldiering and participated in many famous battles in history. He met figures such as Paracelsus and William Shakespeare. Despite this, he could not be anything other than a simple soldier, unable to hang on to money or learn anything beyond what he already knew. Having fought in World War 2 he intended to live in America, grow roses, and keep chickens and bees. He still wants to recreate the Digestive and use it get rich.
Kersh finds the tale incredible, but recognizes the names and battles Cuckoo describes. He cautions him that he may never recreate the Digestive. All the ingredients are products of nature, which vary from place to place, and in the case of honey, sometimes from day to day. The lucky combination that healed him may be impossible to find. Cuckoo gives him a final demonstration of his ability by almost cutting his thumb off and then having it heal within minutes, then becomes angry and storms off, never to be seen again. Kersh ends the story by appealing for anybody who remembers seeing him and can help Kersh to find him again.

In 1950s New York City, Lionel Essrog works at a detective agency alongside Gilbert Coney, Danny Fantl, and Tony Vermonte. Their boss, Frank Minna, rescued them as children from an abusive orphanage. Nicknamed "Motherless Brooklyn" by Frank, Lionel has Tourette syndrome and OCD, often alienating him from people, but his strong verbal and photographic memory make him a good detective.
Working a secret case, Frank asks Lionel and Gilbert to shadow him to a meeting. Lionel listens over the phone as Frank presents documents that threaten a business deal for a man named William Lieberman, who's there with his assistant Lou and an extremely large henchman. When Frank tries to negotiate a high price, the men force him to take them to the originals. Lionel and Gilbert follow in their car, arriving just as Frank is shot. They take him to the hospital, but Frank dies.
Frank's widow Julia leaves Tony in charge of the office. Lionel begins wearing Frank's hat and coat, and a matchbook in Frank's pocket leads Lionel to an African-American owned jazz bar in Harlem. He realizes that Frank's findings involve Laura Rose, who works for Gabby Horowitz fighting urban renewal; poor and minority neighborhoods are being bought out and demolished, forcing out their residents. Lionel goes to a public meeting where Moses Randolph, a commissioner of several development authorities, is loudly contested by Horowitz and the audience. Stealing a reporter's credentials, Lionel talks to a man named Paul who was raging against Moses at the meeting and tells him Moses is the real power in the city government, even beyond the mayor.
Under the guise of reporting on the urban renewal story, Lionel gets to know Laura. She takes him to a club Frank was investigating, where her father Billy - assuming Lionel is one of Moses' men - has him beaten unconscious. Lionel is rescued by a trumpet player, and discovers that Paul is Moses' brother and an engineer. He realizes Lieberman is receiving kickbacks on many of the housing deals, and that the housing relocation programs are scams. Paul presents Moses with a huge renovation plan to improve the city.
Billy calls Lionel, apologizing for the attack and offering to meet with information. However, Lionel arrives to find Billy murdered - his death staged as a suicide. Staying the night with a distraught Laura at her house, Lionel admits his true identity and that he believes she is in danger. Finding photos of Paul meeting with Billy on his own, Lionel confronts Laura, who explains that her "Uncle" Paul is her real father. Paul denies this to Lionel, and explains that Frank and Billy planned to get more money out of Randolph's goons, against Paul's protests. He begs Lionel to find the evidence.
Lionel is brought to Moses, who invites him to join his team and stop snooping, with 24 hours to decide. Inside Frank's hat, Lionel finds the key to a Pennsylvania Station storage locker, containing a property deed and Laura's birth certificate, which reveals Moses is her father. Lionel gives the key to Paul and runs into Tony, who has been working surveillance for Randolph. Tony admits he has been sleeping with Julia, and tells Lionel to take Moses’ deal since Laura will soon be killed. Lionel races to save Laura, stopping her before she enters her apartment, and they flee. Laura knocks the large henchman off the fire escape, and Lou corners them with a gun but is hit in the head with a trumpet by the trumpet player, who drives Laura out of town.
Lionel meets Moses, who reveals that he raped Laura's mother, a hotel employee. Paul forged Moses' signature on the birth certificate and exposure of this secret threatened Moses. Lionel warns Moses to leave Laura alone or he will release the information. He informs Moses that Lieberman is on the take and asks that when Moses has Lieberman killed, to tell him it is for Frank. Moses tells Lionel to tell Paul that his plans for the city will proceed.
The next day Paul learns that Moses denied his plans out of spite while Lionel mails the information about Lieberman to the reporter whose credentials he stole. Lionel drives to the seaside property Frank left to him where Laura is waiting for him.
Norton took significant creative license with Lethem's book, keeping only the character of Lionel Essrog, his mentor Frank Minna, and the idea of him investigating his surrogate father's murder; deviations ''The Atlantic'''s David Sims considers "both radical and baffling".
Although the novel takes place in a modern 1999 setting, Norton rewrote the story for the 1950s, because the "characters are written in a very 1950s hardboiled detective style ... and if we try to make a film about the '90s in Brooklyn with guys acting like '50s gumshoes, it will feel ironic." While Lethem created a conspiracy revolving around mobsters, Buddhist monks, and Frank Minna's brother, Norton instead creates an entirely new conspiracy involving New York's (fictional) Borough Authority and the illegitimate mixed-race offspring of a powerful city official. Norton added characters such as Moses Randolph to the story, who is based on the New York City urban planner, Robert Moses while dropping others, such as Frank Minna's brother Gerard. For other characters, Norton drew inspiration from Hortense Gabel and Jane Jacobs who were prominent critics of housing discrimination in New York during the 50s and 60s, and he replaced the book's love interest Kimmerly with Laura, the unknowing daughter of Moses Randolph. Lethem spends considerable time in the book depicting Lionel's childhood at the St. Vincent's Home for Boys orphanage, something the movie only briefly references. While the book ends with Lionel going back to the detective agency turned car service, with his love interest leaving him, and most of his friends dead or missing, the movie ends with Lionel together with Laura considering a life outside Brooklyn.

Holt and Terry (Terry Crews) are assigned to a meeting at 1 Police Plaza, leaving the precinct without them for a few hours before they are to defend the President of Serbia's motorcade. The gang then decides to do the "Jimmy Jab Games". The competition's name comes from Jake's mispronunciation of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who Jake also believed was the "King of Iraq" rather than President of Iran. Jake makes a bet with Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz): if Jake wins, he gets Rosa's friend's phone number (which she had earlier refused to give to him); if he loses, he will pay $200 to Rosa and never ask for any more phone numbers.
In the first game the participants must eat expired Chinese food. Boyle is the first one eliminated, and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller), the winner, leaves due to food poisoning. The second game, a foot race in anti-bomb suits, ends with Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) eliminated. The next task involves Jake, Rosa and Amy going undercover before anyone recognizes them. Amy seems to have lost, but Rosa fails to convince a single person, eliminating herself. However, Rosa offers Jake to cancel the bet as it's clear he's in love with Amy. Jake rebuffs this. The final task involves them running through the precinct to complete various activities. Jake gets stuck in the final activity, giving Amy the victory. Her victory is interrupted by Holt's and Terry's return, and Holt orders them to stop.

While away from the office, Holt faces his nemesis Deputy Chief Wuntch (Kyra Sedgwick) to get $1200 for new kits to help combat a new, more potent form of ecstasy. Wuntch tricks Holt into asking for and accepting a high budget for a drug task force that will end up at a loss if the operation goes awry.

After fighting with him, Boyle gets the tape and destroys it.
A photographer and his daughter arrive in Africa hoping to capture the local wildlife on film. Instead, they encounter (and never end up photographing) a killer leopard, a swarm of locusts, deadly lion worshippers, and Bomba the Jungle Boy.
Bomba was raised by an aged naturalist, Cody Casson (since deceased). He now lives beyond the Great Rift. The photographer's daughter, wearing a well-tailored leopard skin, spends most of the film with Bomba, while her father, Commissioner Barnes, and Eli search for her.
The show begins with an uneven number of men (bachelors) and women (bachelorettes). At every rose ceremony, either the men or the women have the power of handing out roses, with control switching each time. Those left without a rose are immediately sent home. New bachelors or bachelorettes are introduced each week, often arriving with a date card. By the end, there will be few couples remaining and they will need to decide whether to continue their relationship outside of Paradise or go their separate ways.
Bomba must locate a rogue elephant before a stubborn group of government agents slaughter the entire herd. Surprisingly, Commissioner Barnes sides with the agents but his visiting niece helps Bomba. After surviving a stampede (while tied up), Bomba identifies the guilty elephant and rescues the herd.
Bomba is hunting a rogue leopard when Commissioner Barnes asks him to assist a movie starlet trying to find her lost husband. The husband, wanting nothing to do with his famous wife, isn't lost but is in Africa attempting to use money he embezzled to purchase illicit diamonds.
Prince Ali wants the Golden Idol of Watusi and hires a ruthless hunter to get it for him. Bomba has the idol and, with the help of Commissioner Barnes, Eli, and a beautiful archaeologist from the British Museum (Anne Kimbell), he foils Ali's plans. Ali and the hunter are noticeably more cold-blooded than most of Bomba's adversaries.
A millionaire brings a tiger and film crew to Africa in hopes of staging a battle between the tiger and a lion. Commissioner Barnes learns that one of the crew is a murderer and asks Bomba to find out which one. The Lost Volcano erupts again (this film makes use of previously seen footage) and there is a battle between a lion and a tiger.
Bomba decides to find out who his parents were. He starts with Cody Casson's diary and follows the trail to a native village. An ancient blind woman tells him his parents, along the village's true ruler, were murdered by the current chieftain and his daughter. With the aid of an inspector and his daughter, Bomba battles the usurpers in the cave where his parents were buried.
Two unscrupulous geologists force the locals to work in a hidden diamond mine. Bomba, who narrowly avoids being buried alive, rescues them and defeats the villains. Bomba demonstrates some communication skills as a jungle drummer.
There is also some underwater action in the film and a cameo by Woody Strode.
A school teacher has the locals learning to read. Her beautiful assistant is teaching Bomba, when two ivory poachers arrive in the village and try to force Bomba to lead them to a hidden cache of ivory. Bomba calls on his elephant friends to deal out the fitting finish.
A lion trapper [and his daughter] rendezvous with his hardheaded partner in the African jungle. Bomba befriends the girl, Jean, and explains to her why trapping lions is not right, and she comes to understand him; he later sabotages the men's plans, and with assistance from local Masai natives and lions, runs them off. In this film, Bomba uses the word "Ungawa" for the first time.
A photographer and his guide meet a corrupt Emir with a dirty secret. Only Bomba knows the truth and the Emir wants him silenced. Bomba defeats the Emir and his henchmen, returning a lost princess to her throne.
''Cocaine Cowboys'' is about cocaine dealing members of a rock band who get into trouble with the American Mafia.

Kaja attends a Labour Party summer camp on Utøya with her younger sister Emilie. On 22 July, participants receive news that a bomb has exploded in the Government quarter in Oslo but believe they are safe as long as they are on an island, away from the city. Soon, gunshots are heard, and the campers quickly disperse as it becomes clear that it is not a drill.
At first, most campers attempt to hide in the camp's main building while loudly crying and screaming, but then they run away to the nearby forest. While hiding behind trees, Kaja and her friends call 112, and the police claim to be on the way. The others agree to run for the water so they can swim to safety, but Kaja runs back towards the camp to look for Emilie. Kaja finds a boy named Tobias, whom she convinces to run into the forest. When Kaja is unable to find Emilie in their tent, she runs back into the forest to find her.
Kaja comes across a young girl who has been shot and tries to comfort her. Smoke grenades fill the forest, and the girl dies just as her mother calls her. Kaja finds Magnus, a new camper she had met earlier in the day, with two other campers along the shoreline of the island. Magnus tries to defuse the situation and tell jokes to brighten the mood, but the other two do not take it lightly. Later, they see a large number of campers running in the lake, and the other two campers abandon Kaja and Magnus. Kaja and Magnus discuss what they want to be when they grow up; Kaja wants to be Norway's prime minister, and Magnus an actor.
After a close encounter with the shooter, Kaja goes out to find her sister again. Once on the beach, she discovers bodies scattered along the shoreline, including that of Tobias. As Magnus catches up to her, Kaja breaks down. A small boat is seen in the distance, and Magnus tries to convince Kaja to go with him, but she gets shot by the terrorist and falls to the ground. She cries out for Magnus and gets shot again, this time fatally. The perspective then switches to that of Magnus, as he runs for and reaches the boat with other survivors. As the boat sails away from the island, Magnus tearfully breaks down. It is revealed Emilie is also on the boat and is trying to help a seriously injured person. The screen turns to black.
We hear the boat reaching land, and the cries and screams of the survivors. A text-based epilogue then lists the number of casualties, and describes the terrorist's motivations. It ends with a warning that the far right is on the rise, and that there is growing support for the terrorist's political beliefs and enemy image.
Georg, a German political refugee, barely escapes arrest in occupied present-day Paris, France. He attempts to deliver a letter to a famous writer named Franz Weidel but discovers that Weidel has killed himself in a hotel room. He takes Weidel's last manuscript and identity documents, which promise him safe harbor in Mexico. He attempts to flee to Marseille via train with his injured friend, Heinz, but Heinz dies en route. In Marseille, he brings news of Heinz's death to his deaf wife Melissa and son Driss, who live in the city illegally. Georg befriends Driss.
When Georg attempts to turn in Weidel's papers to the Mexican consul, he is mistaken for Weidel and impersonates him, and is given transit visas for himself and Weidel's wife, Marie. He learns that Marie had left Weidel but wishes to reunite with him and has been waiting in Marseille so they can flee together. Driss has an asthma attack, and Georg fetches a doctor, Richard, to care for him. Georg meets the doctor's mistress, who he learns is Marie.
Richard wishes to flee but is consumed by guilt over abandoning Marie. However, when Georg offers her a transit visa, Richard goes ahead and tries to board a departing ship but is forced to give up his spot for French soldiers. Georg and Marie develop a romantic relationship. He wrestles with whether to tell her the truth about her husband, coming close to doing so but being unable to do so because she so adamantly believes him to be alive. He learns that Melissa and Driss have fled and witnesses the suicide of a fellow refugee he had known as an acquaintance.
Georg and Marie hail a taxi for the harbor to board their ship, the ''Montreal'', but Georg exits, claiming he has forgotten something. He goes to Richard and sells him his place on the ship. While recounting his story to a bartender, to whom he entrusts Weidel's manuscript, he sees a woman who looks like Marie, but she disappears. He goes to the port to confirm that she boarded but is told that the ''Montreal'' hit a mine and sank with no survivors. He returns to the bar, where he waits for Marie as the French police start sweeping the city to purge it of refugees.
Following the events of ''Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters'', the ''Aratrum'' is unable to contact Haruo and the rest after their encounter with the original Godzilla. The Captain orders the ''Aratrum'' s withdrawal if drones fail to find survivors within 48 hours. Haruo Sakaki is revealed to have been rescued by a native girl named Miana, who treated his wound with a strange powder. Haruo reunites with some of his teammates while they were confronted by who they later learned to be Miana's twin sister Maina before being captured by the latter's hunting party. The group are reunited with Martin Lazzari whose platoon have been healed by the twins' people who are known as the "Houtua", surviving descendants of humans who remained on Earth and safeguard the egg of their fallen deity.
The group are telepathically questioned by the twins and the Houtua leaders over why they burned their lands, letting them go once Haruo explains they were only attacking Godzilla. Accompanied by Miana and Maina as their protective guides and observers, the twins revealing they can also speak verbally, Haruo's group reunites with Metphies and the other survivors during an encounter with the Servum. During the fight, Galu-Gu realizes that the twins' arrowheads are laced with "nanometal", the nanotechnology used to create Mechagodzilla. Galu-Gu explains that the nanometal somehow survived and expanded itself over the past 20 millennia. Haruo is convinced by Galu-Gu to remain on Earth and resume the plan to kill Godzilla, sending a few crew members back to the ''Aratrum''. The group trace the energy signature to the rebuilt facility that held Mechagodzilla, which Galu-Gu christens "Mechagodzilla City". The twins part ways with the group while warning Haruo that the nanometal is poisonous; the Bilusaludo assuring the group that the technology is only harmful to Godzilla.
The team soon finds that the surviving half of Mechagodzilla's head is the source of the nanometal as Galu-Gu accesses Mechagodzilla's brain to construct all necessary materials to trap Godzilla within the city and cover it with nanometal to finish it off with EMP harpoons. While overseeing the construction, her mech suit modified into one of three Vulture exo-armors, Yuko confesses her feelings for Haruo and kisses him. Feeling slightly ill since entering the city like some of the others, Haruo finds Metphies working in a cave to repair an item with some of Galu-Gu's technology. Metphies cryptically hints the Bilusaludo's motives of becoming monsters themselves due to their obsession with logic, confiding to Haruo the name of a greater terror than Godzilla that destroyed his homeworld: "Ghidorah".
As Godzilla awakens, most of the human members are horrified to learn that most of the Bilusaludo had willingly allowed themselves to be assimilated into Mechagodzilla City to further fortify it. Godzilla's quick advance on the city forces Galu-Gu to sacrifice the city's defenses in order to divert power to finish the harpoon while Haruo, Yuko and Belu-be use the Vultures to slow Godzilla down. Though the trio managed to hold Godzilla for the plan to go underway, Godzilla survives the trap and proceeds to overheat the facility. This forces a defiant Galu-Gu to fuse with the nanometal as the humans escape the city. Galu-Gu then has the Vultures absorb their pilots to use as sacrificial spears to kill Godzilla.
Haruo is unaffected while Yuko is being slowly converted against her will. Metphies warns a conflicted Haruo that Mechagodzilla City will consume Earth if not stopped and that its destruction could save Yuko, Galu-Gu arguing that transcending their humanity is the only way to kill Godzilla. Haruo ultimately decides to fight Godzilla with his humanity intact, the destruction of Galu-Gu and the command center rendering the nanometal inert as Godzilla frees itself and destroys the city.

One evening on a sidewalk in Harlem, Jean Stratton (Anise Boyer)—a young unemployed actress and dancer from West Virginia—stands next to "The Tree of Hope", openly praying and imploring the legendary tree to help find her work. When she stops one passing men to ask how long she needs to stand under the tree to get a job, a nearby police officer thinks she is a soliciting prostitute, so he arrests her. A group of spectators gather around the officer and Jean, including "Money" Johnson (James Baskett), who gets the officer to release her. Money is a local theater owner widely known in Harlem. He is also a rackateer who specializes in "policy games" or gambling, as well as circulating phony investment schemes around New York, Philadelphia, and in other cities. After the officer and others leave, Money offers Jean a job at his Acme Theatre, gives her some cash as an advance on her salary, and tells her to report to his office the following day.
After meeting with Jean at his theater the next day, Money introduces her to Bill (Bill Robinson), Acme's star performer and director of its dance and other stage productions. At rehearsal Jean also meets another performer, a handsome young actor and dancer named "Chummy" Walker (Henri Wessell). Both Chummy and Bill are immediately smitten with Jean even though she initially refers to them as her protective "big brothers". Money, however, has his own plans to seduce her. Following another rehearsal, Money warns Chummy that "Miss Stratton" is more than his protégée, declaring "she's my personal and private property". He then orders Chummy to invite Jean to a party in his office after that evening's show. The party will actually be an intimate dinner with just Money. Chummy warns Jean of Money's intentions, but she ignores him and goes to the office, where the theater boss forces himself on her. As she struggles to leave, Bill enters the office, a fight ensues, and Bill knocks out Money. The next day Bill and Jean learn they have been fired.
Bill quickly gets a new job performing at a nearby nightclub owned by Knobs Moran (Bob Sawyer), Money's bitter rival in both entertainment and crime. Money now seeks revenge, especially against Chummy for divulging his wanton plan to take advantage of Jean. Money therefore hatches another plan, one to get Chummy imprisoned. He enlists him as the front man in marketing a bogus new hair-straightening product. Money arranges the scam so he is not openly involved, while assuring Chummy that the new product is genuine and will earn huge profits for everyone. Initially successful selling the product, Chummy is soon arrested and jailed for fraud after all the investors lose their money, including Bill's close friend John "Spider" Mason, who had committed most of his life savings to the enterprise.
While visiting the police station to see Chummy, Jean learns of Money's role in devising the fraud, so she visits Greta (Alma Smith), one of Money's girlfriends who knows details about the scheme. After a brutal fight with Greta, Jean forces her to provide the district attorney with information proving Money's guilt, which results in Chummy's release from jail. Spider then learns from newspaper reports that it was Money, not Chummy, who had concocted the phony investment. Now seeking his own revenge for the loss of his money, Spider confronts Money in his office. After Money tries to shoot him, Spider uses a razor to kill the crime boss as he pleads for mercy. The story then ends in Bill's apartment, where Bill, his mother visiting from Richmond, Jean, and Chummy have gathered. Earlier, Bill had realized that Jean and Chummy had fallen in love, so he urges them to get married before he cheerfully leaves the apartment to see another friend.

However, problems arise when the criminal runs away with the watch and Jake learns from Holt that the watch belonged to his husband Kevin's father before he died.

When he arrives to impound, he finds he lost his badge and his ID and can't claim his car. He tries to sneak through the fence but is arrested by guards. In the interrogation room, he is told by Holt that he orchestrated everything for a year, that he annoyed Jake into wanting to steal his watch, and that the watch never left his person to begin with. The criminal was already on Holt's payroll, and Holt had organized everyone to go against Jake as everyone wants him humiliated. However, Boyle was taken before he boarded the party bus because he might have told Jake the plan.
In the end, Captain Holt and the group celebrates Holt's victory at the bar and Jake is forced to admit that Captain Holt "is an amazing police captain/genius" in addition to the five weeks of unpaid overtime.

Bart Bromley lives with his mom and has Asperger's syndrome. He places hidden cameras in a room at the hotel where he works as a night desk clerk, and uses the live feeds and recordings to overcome his social awkwardness by imitating the speech and mannerisms of the guests. On his nightly shift, Bart watches Karen, who has recently checked in. After his shift, he buys ice cream, goes home, and continues to watch Karen.
Bart sees Karen let an unknown man into her room. After they argue, the man begins to beat her. Bart watches as a gun falls from Karen's purse, then drives to the hotel to try to rescue her. He enters via a side door, and soon afterwards Bart's co-worker Jack hears a gunshot. Jack enters Karen’s room, where he finds Karen dead and Bart sitting on the bed. While Jack calls 911, Bart removes the hidden cameras, but accidentally leaves a storage card behind.
The next day, Bart is questioned by Detective Espada and claims he went home after buying ice cream, then returned to the hotel because he forgot his wallet. Espada realizes Bart is lying because if he had not had his wallet, he would not have been able to buy ice cream. Bart later re-watches the recording of Karen’s room and sees that the man she met had a tattoo of a bird on his arm.
The next day, Bart's boss reassigns him to a new hotel. On his first shift, he meets Andrea Rivera, who recognizes that he has Asperger's, flirts with him, and checks into a room. The next day, Bart finds that he is missing a storage card, which Espada finds. Bart places cameras in Andrea's room and later shares a kiss with her near the hotel's pool.
The following day, Bart gets a haircut and buys a new suit, car, and cologne. He tries to visit Andrea at the hotel, only to find her having sex with the unknown man from Karen's room, whom he recognizes from the tattoo. Bart returns home and finds police have taken all his computer and camera equipment. He tells Espada his hard drives are empty because he deleted all the recordings before police arrived. After Espada leaves, Bart retrieves a hidden hard drive that contains a copy of the recording from Karen's room.
The unknown man Bart saw with Andrea is Karen’s husband Nick, a detective who has been having an affair with Andrea and wants her to kill Bart so he cannot identify Nick to police.

The following morning, Bart finds that Andrea is gone, as is the hard drive on which he had the copy of the recording from Karen's room. He also finds that Andrea has left the gun from Karen's purse on his bed. Andrea gives Nick the hard drive with the recording of Karen's room and they start to drive out of town. The police arrive at Bart's house and find that Bart is not there, but has left the gun and the camera storage cards along with a note for Espada. Nick and Andrea are pulled over and arrested. Bart walks through a local mall and practices the conversational speech and body language he has observed in his recordings.
''Doze Flores Amarelas'' tells the story of three "calouras" (Maria A, Maria B, Maria C, conceived as alteregos of the three Titãs) who use a fictional app (Facilitador ("Facilitator")) to find a party to go. The app recommends them to a college party, which they attend dressed as witches. At the event, they end up raped by five classmates, with the crime resulting in consequences for all eight of them. Each of the three Marias deals with the happening in their own way: Maria A (Maria Alice) finds out she's pregnant of one of the rapists and is torn between aborting or giving birth and raising the child. Meanwhile, she hopes her father, a priest, can comfort her. Maria B has strong vengeance wishes and Maria C, besides falling in love with one of the criminals, is unsure at first whether they were really raped or not. The three end up joining forces for a vengeance carried out with the aid of a mortal spell suggested by the app itself and that involves twelve yellow flowers.
The album deals with themes such as violence, harassment, parents-children relationships, vengeance, hatred, passion, drugs, addiction to technology and its impact in people's lifes. The album's style goes from punk rock to acoustic, including orchestrated tracks, pop music, grunge, jazz and stoner rock.
When the band decided to make a rock opera, they wanted to tell a story involving a college group and found at sexual violence a trigger for many topics.

Raised in the cult, Grace was the sole survivor of their mass suicide, led by her father. Laura's death devastates her and Richard's children, teenage Aiden and young Mia.
Six months later, Richard announces that they will spend Christmas with Grace at the family's remote Massachusetts lodge to get to know each other. Aiden and Mia uncover Grace's past, including video footage of the cult, showing the deceased followers draped in purple silk with duct tape across their mouths reading "sin." At the lodge, the children act hostile toward Grace and refuse efforts to bond with her, even after Richard departs back to the city for a work obligation. Grace's unease is compounded by the abundance of Catholic iconography in the cabin, which causes her to have nightmares about her father. After being rebuked for watching her shower, Aiden prepares Grace a cup of cocoa and the group watch a movie; during which the siblings decide to use a gas heater that is noisy and disturbs Grace.
In the morning, Grace awakens to discover that her belongings including her clothing, psychiatric medication, and pet dog are missing, as well as all the food and Christmas decorations.

Aiden insists they are in Purgatory, and hangs himself in the attic as proof that they are dead, only to inexplicably survive.
Grace suffers a nervous breakdown, which intensifies when she finds her dog frozen to death outside. She enters a catatonic state on the porch. Worried she might die of exposure, the children finally admit that they have been gaslighting her the entire time, having drugged her, hidden their possessions in a crawlspace, faked the hanging, and played recordings of her father's sermons via a wireless speaker. With their own phones dead at last, the children unsuccessfully attempt to start the generator and bring Grace her medication, but find her convinced that they are in Purgatory and must do penance to ascend to Heaven, to be accepted by the almighty Angels.
That night, the children witness Grace self-flagellating by burning herself on the hearth. They hide in the attic but Grace confronts them in the morning, insisting they must "sacrifice something for the Lord." Richard returns to discover an inconsolable Grace brandishing his pistol. In an attempt to prove her belief that they are in purgatory, she fires the gun at him, killing him. Aiden and Mia attempt to flee in the car, but get stuck in the snow. Grace forces the children back into the lodge, where she seats them at the dinner table with their father's corpse and sings ''Nearer, My God, to Thee.''

A man named Matias finds a laptop at a cyber café lost-and-found and takes it home. The laptop originally belonged to someone called Norah C. IV. Matias is working with a sign language app titled ''Papaya'' for his deaf girlfriend, Amaya. However, Amaya becomes upset because the app only makes it convenient for her to understand him, but not for him to understand her. Matias keeps getting messages on the laptop for Norah from someone named Erica. He logs onto a Skype video call with his friends — Damon, A.J., Lexx, Serena, and Nari — but becomes frustrated when the computer keeps freezing up. Matias discovers that Erica is Norah when she demands her laptop back. He decides to return it to the cyber café, but before he can, he sees a message for Norah about the payment they received for a video. Curious, he converses with the mystery person, Charon68. Matias' friends watch his actions, and A.J. recognizes that Matias is connected to the dark web. When Charon68 mentions trepanation, a disturbed Matias ends the chat.
Damon realizes that "Norah C." is "Charon" spelled backward, as Matias begins to find hidden videos on the laptop. He looks up a street address listed in one of them and sees that Erica Dunne went missing from there; the same Erica that Norah was impersonating. Matias receives a video call from Amaya, only to find that it is Norah C., also known as Charon IV, continuing to demand his laptop back, or else he'll kill Amaya. When Nari tries to call the police, Matias panics and explains that it was all part of an alternate reality game he is developing. His friends are relieved, but Nari remains suspicious. Matias tries to convince Amaya to come over, but she's still upset with him, believing he doesn't want to put in the effort to learn sign language for her. Matias promises he will try and convinces her to come over, though Charon IV secretly follows her. To ensure Charon IV complies, Matias transfers his cryptocurrency from her profile into his. Norah chides Matias for this, but he says he'll return the money and laptop in exchange for Amaya and Erica's safety.
Matias directs Amaya to the subway so that she will lose connection - once her signal is lost, he tells his friends that the entire thing was real and explains that they are all in danger. Matias suddenly receives messages from a group called "The Circle," who reveal that they are aware of Matias' actions, and dozens of Charon accounts join the chat. One of them posts a video of Lexx being thrown off a roof while another doctors videos of A.J. planning to attack a shopping mall. As police officers storm A.J.'s house, the Circle triggers the sound effect of a shotgun loading on his computer, causing the police to assume he is armed and shoot him to death. Next, they show Nari at the subway and Serena's mother on life support, forcing Serena to save one of them. When she can't make the decision, the Circle kills all three. Matias goes to get Amaya, leaving the laptop open so Damon can copy its files. Unbeknownst to Matias, another Charon brings Erica into his closet. When a Charon takes control of the laptop, Damon tells the Circle he was recording everything for the police to find. To his horror, he realizes that the Circle had planned for Matias to find the laptop so they could frame him and his friends for their crimes. Moments later, a Charon hangs Damon by his closet door. Another Charon writes a fake confession and suicide note, implying everyone killed themselves out of guilt. Matias gets a call from Amaya and realizes that the Circle hacked his messages to lead her astray. He helplessly watches as Amaya is attacked by a Charon, most likely to be part of their videos. Broken, he asks the Circle why they did all of this. They respond with a clip of him saying it was "game night," revealing that this is simply entertainment for them.
The Circle launches a poll to decide Matias' fate; as they vote, he laughs, no longer caring about his safety. Erica wakes up in Matias' apartment and goes to the computer begging for help. The video cuts out as she finds a hole in her skull. In the street, the poll reaches its end before a Charon in a van fatally strikes Matias, killing him. With their job complete and their crimes pinned on Matias and his friends, the Circle gather in front of the cameras and celebrate while another Charon watches from a camera.
In the year 2042, effective immortality is discovered, allowing humans to reset their physical age while retaining their memory. In addition, advanced medical technology allows any injury, even fatal, to be repaired in a matter of days through nanites (or for more serious injuries, a hospital procedure known as revival). These revolutionary technologies allowed humanity to triumph over death, and ended what is posthumously referred to as the Mortal Age.
In addition, a nigh-omnipotent artificial intelligence called the Thunderhead was also created around this time, described as the 'evolution of the cloud.' The Thunderhead was carefully designed with perfect and caring motives, wanting only to be a loving guardian of humanity. Although everyone was at first skeptical, every government eventually subsided to the Thunderhead, and all of Earth became united peacefully. Utilising all of humanity's knowledge and power, the Thunderhead solves climate change, mental illness, and discrimination. It also decides that death is still required in order to give life meaning, but is unwilling to be the means of death, as it is unable and does not want to be viewed as a killer.
Instead, a group of humans create the Scythedom, an order of individuals who are responsible for killing ("gleaning") others permanently, unable to be revived by law. The Thunderhead finds this to be the best approach. Scythes wear rings that grant immunity by transferring one's DNA to a databank. Once becoming Scythes, they must take the name of a historic figure (such as Scythe Gandhi or Scythe Volta). Scythes are entirely separate from the Thunderhead's rule, not having to abide by any law beyond the Scythedom's.
Several hundred years after the Mortal Age, a Scythe named after Michael Faraday visits a house in MidMerica. There, he interrupts a family's dinner and joins them, seemingly unaware of their fears that he has arrived to glean them. The teen daughter, Citra Terranova, stands up to him, which he finds amusing. He then reveals that he has not come to glean them, but instead their neighbor, citing statistics from the Mortal Age that support his choice of gleaning.
Some weeks later, a teenager named Rowan Damisch is attending high school when he encounters Scythe Faraday as well. Faraday requests help locating the front desk, and Rowan nervously agrees. Once at the front desk, Faraday reveals that he is here to glean the school's top quarterback, as many popular, arrogant college football players met early deaths. He requests that Rowan locate the quarterback and retrieve him. Rowan does so, but refuses to leave as Faraday gleans the boy with an electric shock.
In the following weeks, Rowan is shunned at school, as rumors spread that Faraday was his uncle and that Rowan requested the gleaning out of jealousy. Rowan initially tries to deny it, but then decides to lean into it, stating that Faraday will glean anyone he wants. This causes everyone to fear him, and he is no longer bullied.
Citra and Rowan both receive tickets to a theater performance, and they both decide to attend out of curiosity. They meet each other and Scythe Faraday, who arranged it all. He informs them that they have both been chosen to become his apprentices, admiring Citra's integrity and Rowan's compassion. They both accept with the knowledge that only one of them can be ordained as a scythe at the end of their training.
They both live with Scythe Faraday while apprenticing, as he trains them in various ways of killing. He also takes them on his gleanings, so they become accustomed to killing. When they are racked with guilt merely for being present, Faraday is pleased that they do not enjoy the act of taking life.
A few months later, Faraday takes his apprentices to the tri-annual regional conclave of Scythes, where various laws and traditional acts are performed for a day. It becomes apparent that the regional Scythedom is split between the Old Guard, who believe that gleaning is a sacred act that requires compassion, and the New Order, who believes that Scythes should take pleasure in gleaning. Spearheading the New Order movement is Scythe Goddard, a charismatic man infamous for his cruel mass gleanings. On the opposition is Scythe Curie, who is well known for hunting down all members of government in the early days of immortality so that they would not be able to try and regain power.
At the conclave, Citra and Rowan are subjected to one of three tests along with other apprentices - the first being knowledge. Citra is asked by Scythe Curie what her greatest wrongdoing was. Citra says that she pushed a schoolmate under a bus, which resulted in her missing a week of tests while she was revived. Curie deems her to be lying. Rowan intentionally fails his question so that he remains with Citra.
During the meetings, Goddard objects to Faraday having two apprentices, and it is suggested that the succeeding apprentice must glean the rejected one. Faraday heavily objects, but is overruled by High Blade Xenocrates, leader of the MidMerican Scythedom.
Soon after the conclave, Faraday disappears. Citra and Rowan are contacted by Xenocrates, who informs them that Faraday committed suicide in order to free them of their apprenticeship. However, this fails as Citra and Rowan are separated and taken on as other Scythe's apprentices - Curie and Goddard, respectively.
Citra is trained by Curie, who lives at Falling Water. However, Citra is suspicious of the circumstances of Faraday's gleaning, believing that he would not kill himself. She eventually finds that he died by throwing himself under a train, but discovers that all witnesses were given immunity by a Scythe afterwards. She suspects Goddard but doesn't have any evidence.
Meanwhile, Rowan's morals are put to the test as he experiences Goddard's lifestyle, who lives in a mansion he took and has extravagant parties with a posse of new order Scythes. Rowan initially hates him, but slowly falls under Goddard's charismatic spell and brutal training methods, becoming conflicted over his identity. Goddard brings him on several mass gleanings, during which Rowan secretly helps people to escape. In one, Goddard saves a particular child, confusing Rowan.
During one such party, High Blade Xenocrates is present. Goddard seems to have influence over him, especially when revealing the child. Rowan realizes that the child is Xenocrates', which goes against the law that Scythes are forbidden to have children. Goddard toys with Xenocrates, making him do ridiculous acts with the threat of killing his daughter. Rowan saves Xenocrates from drowning during one particular stunt.
At the next conclave, the test requires that each apprentice fight another. Citra and Rowan are paired for the spectacle, and Rowan lets Citra win. However, Citra refuses, and the two of them fight with the intention of losing. Eventually, Rowan decides that he needs to make Citra hate him, and so wins quickly by breaking Citra's neck violently. She is rushed out for revival and Rowan is disqualified. Once again they are tied for last.
Later, Citra is accused of murdering Faraday and she is hunted down. Curie brings her out of MidMerica to Amazonia (formerly the top of South America) as a refugee. Citra decides to follow a lead she had on Faraday's death, and discovers that he is still alive and in hiding. He has not realized that they are still apprenticed, but refuses to rejoin the Scythedom.
Meanwhile, Goddard takes Rowan and his posse to a religious group of anti-Scythe cultists. He promises Rowan will glean someone, despite that breaking the law that apprentices cannot glean. Goddard dismisses the thought and saves a cultist for Rowan to glean. Instead, Rowan beheads Goddard with his own sword, kills the other Scythes, and burns their bodies, which prevents revival.
At the next conclave, the apprentices are given a final test. They must kill a family member. Citra struggles but succeeds in killing her younger brother Ben. She hears that Rowan shot his mother without any hesitation, meaning they both succeeded. Their special duel commences, and Citra eventually defeats Rowan, choosing the Scythe name Anastasia.
However, as she is given her Scythe's ring, she punches Rowan, which transfers his blood to her Scythe's ring, granting him immunity for a year. He escapes the conclave and finds Faraday, who helps him escape in a car.
In the epilogue, Scythe Anastasia remarks on the recent stories of Scythe Lucifer, a rogue Scythe who hunts down corrupt and unworthy Scythes and permanently ends them. It turns out Rowan became Scythe Lucifer. She states that she hopes when they meet again, he will remember her as one of the good ones.

Their plane is attacked by an Ass-Blaster, but Burt and Travis make it to the facility. They learn that Arctic heat conditions have made the area prime for Graboids. Burt suspects their research neighbors at DARPA are developing bio-weapons out of the Graboids. When an Ass-Blaster attacks the facility, Burt rescues a researcher but experiences an episode and collapses. He learns that he has been infected by a parasite based on Graboid venom, from when he was inside one years earlier, and that they need to extract the antibodies from a live one to save him.
As Graboids continue to kill off researchers and staff, several members of the group try to make their way from the lab to the generator area where the pilot Mac is repairing the plane, and the facilities manager Swackhamer has created a makeshift underground electric fence. Others head for the communications tower and to turn off a drill that has automatically activated. With his own research team attacked, Agent Cutts of DARPA joins Burt's group, revealing that his team was more interested in extracting the melted water and not fashioning bio-weapons.

The group eventually use a storage container to trap one of the Graboids, spearing it from the side to hold it in place, and cutting off its front tentacles.

This is a family drama which tells the story of a family of five women who lost their property and became separated after the war.
The film opens with a quote from the Bible (for the first time in the history of North Korean cinema where only quotations from Kim Il-sung were typical): "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?" (Matthew 5:13).
The setting of the film is Kando (Jiandao) in the 1930s, torn apart by ethnic conflict in which the Koreans are "literally caught in the crossfire" of Japanese occupiers, Chinese bandits, and communist guerrillas. The local policing force is supposed to protect the peasants, but in truth only works when the interests of the Japanese occupiers are at stake.
The protagonist is an anonymous mother whose husband is killed by bandits. Her son Pong Shik runs off with a band of guerrillas, and her other children fall ill and are denied care by a doctor. The youngest of her sons was born after she was raped by a Chinese landlord, in a scene described as the darkest in the film. After a failed abortion attempt, the mother tries to suffocate the unwanted child before finally deciding to hang herself. However, her neighbor comes to her rescue, cutting the noose just as she is about to commit suicide. The neighbor, although poor, gives the mother's family some salt and suggests it as an opportunity to help leviate her plight.
At the end of the film, the mother carries an expensive sack of salt on a mountain trail with other smugglers. They are attacked by bandits, who in turn are chased away by the communist guerrillas. The guerrillas vow to protect the common people and the mother realizes that her son did not run away from his family with bad intent, but was in fact a hero. She is now determined to find her son and follow the guerrillas.

After CIA agents show up and stop Hickel, Hermann goes back to his mother's dead body to photograph her, only to be blown up by C-4 explosives hidden inside his camera by Hickel. At the airport, Paraguay officials try to arrest Hickel, but in a twist of irony, the CIA agent claims diplomatic immunity for Hickel.
Lonely photographer Martin feels nothing but solitude in his existence, work, and even relationships with others. He is repeatedly reminded that everything boils down to nothing more than base animal nature.

There he spots her returning to her apartment with a man and he waits outside her apartment all night as his positive feelings toward her mix with disgust.
The next day she visits him at his apartment and cooks dinner, during which he confronts her about the other man, Peter. Their differing perceptions and ideals of human nature and relationships lead to a heated argument. He holds her down and forces her to say that she loves him, then she immediately runs out of the apartment when she has a chance.
The next day he visits Rebecca's apartment and gets Peter's address from her roommate, who says that the two are out for lunch together. He drives toward Peter's house, planning to confront them when they return from lunch, but his car runs out of gas on the drive. In an effort to stop them on the road, he pushes a large boulder off the cliff onto the road, inadvertently hitting the car in which she is riding.

Looking down from the heavens, archangels Michael and Raphael discuss Xena's difficult destiny as she arrives at Amphipolis with Gabrielle and Eve to visit Xena's mother, Cyrene. When they arrive, the trio realize Amphipolis has become a ghost town. In Cyrene's tavern, Eve sees Cyrene's spirit and tells Xena her mother is dead. Xena goes to the mausoleum where she finds Cyrene's sarcophagus, which contains charred remains.
While eating, Eve tells Gabrielle that she feels something terrible is about to occur. Gabrielle's food becomes instantly infested with maggots. Maggots then begin to emerge from Gabrielle's hands and her flesh rots. When Eve prays to Eli to cast out the evil presence, the maggots disappear and Gabrielle's hands are restored. Later, Gabrielle is grabbed by numerous hands and lands in a pool of water filled with ghouls. Hearing her screams, Xena and Eve save her. Eve tells Xena and Gabrielle the demon Mephistopheles is preparing for war, that the tavern is his exit from Hell, and that Eve's presence there is deliberate.
Mephistopheles possesses Gabrielle as she takes a shower. He tells Xena he has kidnapped Cyrene's soul and will not release it unless Eve's blood is spilled because the blood of the Messenger of Eli is necessary for him to escape Hell. Xena refuses and Eve exorcises him. Mephistopheles then torments Eve, reminding her of her bloody past before her redemption. He also joins Xena and Gabrielle's bodies every time they touch. Once Eve separates them, Xena uses the pinch—a skill that allows her to stop blood from flowing—on herself. She visits the spirit realm to defeat Mephistopheles, who tells her whoever kills him must assume his reign over Hell.
After Gabrielle revives Xena, Eve says she is ready to sacrifice herself to stop Mephistopheles. Xena decides to fight him instead, so Eve cuts her palm and spills a few drops of blood. Mephistopheles emerges from a Hellmouth and battles Xena until she kills him. This releases Cyrene's soul, who tells Xena she will always be in her heart.
While pondering the consequences of Mephistopheles' death, the trio notice the Hellmouth is starting to release steam.
The story begins with Anthony Fitzgerald's waking up to discover he is chained to a sink in a factory bathroom somewhere in London, with no memory of how he ended up here. The other prisoner is David Blackwell, who is equally confused. Both men are criminals – Anthony represents a Welsh burglary gang and David a London gang of fences – and had arranged to meet in order to exchange an extremely valuable diamond necklace stolen in Cardiff for money. Both the money and the necklace are now missing, and both men, after initially accusing the other of robbing them, realise that they must work together in order to discover who set them both up. Both men call their respective bosses (Anthony's is his own brother Alun), and are told that if they do not recover the money/necklace, they will not have a pleasant ending.
With this, the duo begin retracing their steps from the previous day. The last thing that both men remember was meeting in a pub for the exchange. Going to the pub, they intimidate a frightened bar girl into admitting that she was paid to spike their drinks, under the mistaken belief that this was a practical joke being played upon the duo by their friends. The description she gives them of the man who paid her to do this is of a one-eyed man in a Provincial Railways uniform with a strong Welsh accent.
The men go to Paddington Station, but have no luck with their enquiries. However, one train guard meeting this description flees as he sees both men, boarding a sleeper train leaving the platform for Penzance. Fitzgerald and Blackwell jump on the train as well, and pursue the man through the train. A fight takes place at the end of the train, and the guard is shot by Blackwell, collapsing against the door and half falling out of the train. They force the guard at gunpoint, as he clings to the door, to tell them where he took the jewels, and he subsequently does (while sneering at Fitzgerald's foolishness), giving them a phone number to call for his contact in Bridgend, near where Anthony's boss lives. Once he has given this information up, Blackwell kicks him fully out of the speeding train.
The two men subsequently travel to Bridgend, and phone the number from a local phonebox, and, impersonating the guard, tell the man on the other end of the line that there is a problem. The voice tells them to come to the gang's headquarters nearby at Sker House. When the duo arrive, the house seems empty, and the rest of the gang is absent. They do however encounter Alun in his office, who holds them at gunpoint. He opens his safe to show them both the necklace and the money. He explains that Anthony was becoming too powerful in the gang and was commanding too much respect, and this was his intended way of disposing of him. As he prepares to shoot them, Anthony charges him down, knocking the gun out of his hand, but being shot in the shoulder in doing this. David then uses his own gun to execute Alun. Anthony explains that his wound is not too serious, and David agrees, saying "that's the problem" and then shoots Anthony dead. He retrieves both the necklace and the money, and leaves the house whistling.

The film does not have a simple plot, but rather cuts between the interweaving stories of several characters, as they prepare for the coming months away at sea. The action centres around the bars and clubs of the Union Street district of Plymouth. One major event that affects all the characters is the hospitalisation and eventual death of Daniel (Gary Oldman) after a violent assault by a nightclub bouncer.

After being teased by Wuntch (Kyra Sedgwick), Holt (Andre Braugher) assigns Terry (Terry Crews) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) to lead an investigation into a silent disco which may have customers using "Giggle Pig". Terry becomes paranoid when he worries about the future of his daughters after finding out that a dealer in the disco attended their school.
Jake and Amy stop by Gina's (Chelsea Peretti) house to retrieve files but they run into her and Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) about to have sex. Jake takes the files to the precinct but is caught by Miller, who accuses him of being the mole and suspends him. After working with Holt all night to catch the mole, Jake finally realizes that Miller is just in the precinct to get information for Wuntch, as she can't access it. They confront her and blackmail her to leave the precinct alone. Gina later reveals her relationship with Boyle to the whole precinct.
Parts 1 and 2 narrate about two decades of Austrian history from 1723 to Maria Theresa's coronation as Hungarian queen on June 25, 1741. The focus is on the love story between Maria Theresa and her husband Franz Stephan of Lorraine. Parts 3 and 4 continue the story up to the coronation as the Bohemian Queen in 1743.
Prague 1723. Six-year-old Maria Theresa sees her life clearly planned: one day she will marry Franz Stephan of Lorraine and have many children with him. Everyone is waiting for the longed-for male descendant of Maria Theresa's father Charles VI but nine years later he is still not born. Due to the advanced age of Empress Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, the doctor has meanwhile given up all hope: one can only pray for a miracle. Professor Gottfried Philipp Spannagel therefore recommends to deepen the upbringing of the firstborn Maria Theresa in order to prepare her for a possible reign.
Charles VI asks Eugene of Savoy to begin the wedding negotiations with Franz Stephan of Lorraine. Prince Eugene, however, has other plans: he has designed another husband for Maria Theresa, who should guarantee that there will be no war with Prussia. Eugene begins negotiations with Friedrich Wilhelm von Grumbkow: according to their plans, Maria Theresa is to be married to Crown Prince Friedrich. He also offers Franz Stephan to marry Maria Theresia's sister Anna, and he initially agrees to the proposal. However, Maria Theresa wants only Franz Stephan as her husband.
The church suggests to Maria Theresa not to marry at all and to become a nun. With the support of Spannagel, Maria Theresa instead secretly prepares herself to rule, studying the history and politics of Europe. Count Nikolaus I Esterhazy discovers her by chance and makes it public: Spannagel ends up temporarily in prison and Maria Theresa is to be sent to a monastery. However, Maria Theresa suggests that Franz Stephan should give up his Duchy of Lorraine in favor of France, and in return he should get Tuscany. France will therefore recognise the Pragmatic Sanction and Franz Stephan will marry Maria Theresa.
Franz Stephan initially rejects the proposal. The Prussian Prince Friedrich is meanwhile already getting married, so Prussia also demands the marriage between Maria Theresa and Franz Stephan, considered weak and harmless from the Prussian point of view. Maria Theresa learns that Prince Eugene wanted to sell her to Prussia; however, he is already dying, and on his deathbed he recommends Count Philipp Kinsky as his successor.
After Spannagel initiated Franz Stephan into the political and military situation, he finally agreed to Maria Theresa's proposal. On the birthday of Maria Theresa's mother, Franz Stephan accepted the conditions and asked for Maria Theresa's hand. Count Philipp Kinsky is not very enthusiastic about this, and at the birthday party they receive the news of Prince Eugen's death. Franz Stephan and Maria Theresia get married and Maria Theresa later gives birth to her first two daughters; as in her parents' case, the longed-for male descendant is still missing. To escape life at the court, Franz Stephan and Maria Theresa move to Tuscany. Franz Stephan is planning to set up a cotton factory based on the English model and is successful in finding investors interested in it. Kinsky arrives to Tuscany to bring them the news that Charles VI has suffered a serious hunting accident, resulting in his death.
After the death of her father Charles VI, Maria Theresa and Franz Stephan return to the Viennese court with their third daughter: Maria Theresa has to take over her father's throne. On the way home, she witnesses the hunger, the hardship and the misery that reigns in her kingdom. Franz Stephan is initially excluded from politics, for example from participating to the Geheimrat, so he pursues his own interests. He has fun with the ladies at court, especially with Elisa Fritz; as an entrepreneur, he deals with the trade in cotton and silk and the establishment of a cloth manufacture. Maria Theresa would like for Franz Stephan to take his place in the army, but he rejects absolutely the war.
Several European princes lay claims on the Habsburg hereditary lands and the Holy Roman Empire. There is danger from the south, north, and west, and moreover the Prussian Marshal Grumbkow is still at the Viennese court. Maria Theresia is uncertain whether the pragmatic sanction will be accepted by everyone. She makes Count Kinsky, whom she had previously despised because of his supposed closeness to the late Prince Eugene, as her political advisor. He advises her to get support from Count Nikolaus I Esterhazy, and she initially rejects the idea since Esterhazy betrayed her when he discovered she was secretly studying politics and history.
Maria Theresa makes Marshal Grumbkow a member of the Geheimrat. Friedrich II proposes to Maria Theresa that he could support Franz Stephan in the election to emperor, and asks for Silesia in return. Maria Theresa does not accept Friedrich's offer, but she does not feel that she is being taken seriously by her own court. In the meantime Marshal Grumbkow is exposed as a double agent, arrested at the Prussian border and executed for treason. Indeed, on the one hand Grumbkow spied for the Prussians at the Viennese court, on the other hand he was bribed by Prince Eugene. There is also a rumour that Grumbkow would have poisoned Charles VI: Grumbkow wanted Maria Theresa on the throne because he saw in her a weak opponent of Prussia.
After the invasion of Prussian troops is welcomed with joy by the population in Silesia, Maria Theresa tries to alleviate the hunger among the soldiers in order to increase their motivation. Soon afterwards the Prussians also invade Bohemia. The nobility flees Vienna after numerous balls have been canceled and her own court turns away from her in mockery. Moreover, Princess Karolina falls ill with smallpox, from which she later dies. Franz Stephan feels useless and excluded from the life of Maria Theresia, who is instead increasingly overwhelmed. However, she finds a loyal supporter in Elisa Fritz, who had previously seemed more attached to Franz Stephan, and who manages now to persuade the nobility to return to the Viennese court and to steer the mood at the court in their favour. The Prussians offer an armistice if the annexed territories are granted to Prussia, and Maria Theresia accepts. In the meantime, the longed-for male descendant Joseph is born.
The Bavarians declare war on Austria and France joins the war against the Austrians. Maria Theresa tries to raise the morale of her troops with the support of the church and promises them better equipment and food. Moreover, she also looks for support from the Hungarians: Count Nikolaus Esterházy accepts, but wants to win her heart as well. Franz Stephan is jealous and rumours circulate already at court that the Pope would be ready to annul their marriage. Esterházy realises that he cannot win the heart of Maria Theresa and that she would only sacrifice herself to him out of a sense of duty to her country. Maria Theresia presents herself in front of the Hungarian Diet as a defenseless mother and wife who appeals to the courage of men. Esterházy stands up for her in front of everybody: she receives the Hungarian support and the promise of 60.000 soldiers. Maria Theresa is finally crowned Queen of Hungary.
After the loss of Silesia to Friedrich II, the armistice with Prussia does not seem to last long. Everywhere seem to be lurking enemies who want to conquer parts of the Habsburg Kingdom. Behind the back of Maria Theresa, Franz Stephan of Lorraine does business with Prussia and Friedrich II in his in Wallnerstrasse, selling him uniforms and tents among other things.
Maria Theresa also pays a personal price for her commitment as head of state, because her husband Franz Stephan turns to other women. She accuses Franz Stephan of enjoying immoral gambling while they are losing the war. Franz Stephan, on the other hand, argues that the income from his immoral gambling would finance their moral war.
Maria Theresa suspects that her mother-in-law, Élisabeth Charlotte d’Orléans, at the moment in Vienna under the pretense of visiting her grandchildren, is actually an informant for the French king. With the help of Elisa Fritz, however, Maria Theresia manages to arrange the betrothal between her sister Anna Maria and her brother-in-law Charles Alexander. While Franz Stephan initially does not believe in the accusations against his mother, she exposes herself to her sons, scolding them for having chosen the wrong side and later fleeing from Vienna.
In her desperate military situation, Maria Theresa seems to be throwing her own values and morals overboard. Contrary to the advice of her advisors, she seeks military support from Baron von der Trenck, who is known for his boldness, but also for his cruelty. He promises her to win back the Bavarian lands for her and to bring her the as a trophy. Later, news arrives that the situation in the western front is changing, Trenck is marching towards Munich and the Bavarians are fleeing. However, there are also reports of looting in Bavaria committed by his Pandurs. Moreover, Trenck does not take prisoners, who could serve as objects of exchange for Austrian's captured nobles, but instead has them executed immediately, against the common rules of war. The Bavarians are finally defeated and Trenck sends Maria Theresa the Nuremberg egg.
Trenck's campaigns brought the desired military success, but Maria Theresa has to recognise that it also opened the door to crime and cruelty: Trenck's Pandurs inflicted hardship and misery to the civilian population, raping and murdering them. Maria Theresa is harshly judging him but also herself. From now on, morality becomes her top priority and she set up a , headed by Father Johannes. In the most severe cases, prostitutes and sinners risk being to Banat by boats.
On the orders of the Papal Nuncio, Father Johannes send spies also to the of Franz Stephan in Wallnerstrasse, who is suspected of being the Grand Master of the Freemasons. He is also suspected to make business with Protestant countries, to the disapproval of the Catholic Church. Maria Theresa decrees strict Catholicism morals for those around her, and her police takes action against gambling and prostitution. She decides also to meet her husband, from whom she feels increasingly alienated and betrayed.
After Maria Theresia proposes to Franz Stephan a private separation, so that they should only meet on official occasions, he confesses to her that he is the Grand Master of Freemasons. The Jesuits monitor his palace on Wallnerstrasse only in order to draw up a list of Freemasons. The list of women drawn up by the Jesuits, who Maria Theresia thought were Franz Stephan's lovers, consists instead of wives of foreign bankers, for whom it was too dangerous to see him in person, so that they send their wives instead. The money that he raised so that Maria Theresa can finance the war comes from deals with Prussia and Friedrich II.
Trenck is brought before the Imperial Court for murdering nobles, hiding booty, colluding with the enemy, accepting bribes, rape and looting. Maria Theresa later learns from Father Johannes that he died in prison after having written his will, having summoned a priest to confess, and having informed him that he would die at noon the next day. In a letter to Maria Theresia Trenck writes that he had no regrets and that he could fully enjoy his life in battle, but did not want to live in prison.
The Spanish inquisitors accuse Franz Stephan's friends of sodomy and Satanism and demand for them the death by burning. Franz Stephan tries to buy them out and smuggle them across the border: dolls are to be burned in their place, but the church will nevertheless excommunicate them. Maria Theresa then promises to withdraw some of the measures that she had introduced under the influence of Father Johannes. After Maria Theresia and Franz Stephan get closer again, Maria Theresia confesses to her younger sister Maria Anna that she is pregnant from an affair. Intimidating her with the prospect of future damnation for her own first baby, Father Johannes extracts this secret from Maria Anna during her confession. Blackmailing Maria Theresia, Father Johannes becomes then a permanent member of the war council and field vicar of the Habsburg army. Franz Stephan is disappointed because Maria Theresa had promised to put an end to Father Johannes' ambitions.
After Maria Theresa's troops succeed in liberating Prague from the French who supported the Bavarians, the Bohemian nobles swore allegiance to Maria Theresa, who is crowned Queen of Bohemia. Maria Theresa receives news from her sister Maria Anna that her daughter was born dead: in a letter, Maria Anna accuses God and the Church. Maria Theresa subsequently deprived Father Johannes of all powers and the papal nuncio, also thanks to generous financial support from Franz Stephan, sides with Maria Theresa and downgrades Father Johannes.

Dr. Alexander Latham is a Washington-based psychomedician, one who studies human reactions to the point they can almost read minds. At a dinner party, another guest is defending his argument that in these modern times anything can be made artificially. When someone objects that the human mind is too complex, he responds that the psychoactive drug known simply as ''h'' effectively makes a second mind. Knowing Latham is familiar with ''h'', and sensing the possibility of a memorable party, the hostess invites Latham to recount a story of its use.
In the post-war era, a number of European nationalities were barred from the United States except for medical reasons, and the government began to suspect they were using hospitals to set up clandestine meetings. Latham is part of a program to canvas hospitals looking for these meetings. He finds the secret meeting space in a hospital in Middle City, but the group, The Committee, is prepared for his arrival. He only just manages to escape.
Meeting his secretary in a diner to plan their escape from the city, they find themselves the topic of a police bulletin on the television. Latham attempts to call his superiors, but the call is intercepted and rerouted to a member of The Committee. They manage to make it to an air-taxi stand, only to find the driver immediately recognizes them as well. They take off and force the driver to parachute from the cab.
Pondering how the group could have possibly hypnotized everyone they meet, Latham finally realizes they must have used the "''h''-drug", developed by his former professor, which induces a sort of hypnosis. He surmises The Committee has put it in the water supply and then triggered it through radio and television. The chase continues until his secretary suddenly changes emotionally and pulls a gun on him, also under the influence of ''h''.
He is returned to the Committee's meeting room, where it is explained that their group has existed for hundreds of years, plotting to build a ruling elite. Minor events like Napoleon and the US's independence have set their plans back over the years, but with the use of ''h'', they finally have the tool needed to complete their domination of the US and England.
Given a chance to speak, Latham notes they have missed an important point about ''h''. It is not a hypnosis drug in the common sense of the term, it actually releases a second personality, one that is highly suggestible. He goes on to note that there is a third such personality, which can also be released with ''h''. The Committee members realize what he is implying too late; as they rush to trigger a weapon to kill him, Latham orders the guards to shoot the device.
Back at the dinner party, the other guest concedes that he did not truly understand ''h''.

In August 1968, actress Sharon Tate tells a journalist about a nightmare she had in which she and her friend, Jay Sebring, had their throats slashed inside her home at 10050 Cielo Drive in the Benedict Canyon section of Los Angeles. One year later, a very pregnant Sharon returns to her "love house" after spending six months in Europe filming ''The Thirteen Chairs''. She is initially happy to be reunited with her friend (and once-lover) Jay, and friends/house-sitters Abigail (Gibby) Folger, and Abigail's boyfriend, Wojciech Frykowski, a boyhood friend of Polanski's. Sharon's husband, Roman Polanski has stayed behind in Europe to complete the script for his next film ''The Day of the Dolphin'' but has assured Sharon he will be home in time for the birth of their baby. That night, Sharon confides in Jay that she believes Roman is having another affair; Jay tells her it doesn't have to be this way but Sharon is determined to save her marriage for the sake of the baby. Later, Sharon becomes angered upon finding that a new caretaker, a young man named Steven Parent, is living in a trailer on the property without her prior knowledge and asks what happened to William Garretson, the previous caretaker whom she is told "hasn't been around in awhile." That night, while the group is socializing, Wojciech answers a knock at the door to find a long-haired stranger (Charles Manson) asking to see "Terry." Wojciech tells Manson the home now belongs to Sharon and Roman, and that he has the wrong residence.
The following morning, Sharon and Abigail go for a walk, where they encounter two strange women, and subsequently find Sharon's pet dog dead alongside the trail. In the house's study, Sharon uncovers a recording of folk music by Charles Manson, left behind by the residence's former owner, music producer Terry Melcher. The music disturbs her, and she recalls the voice as being that of the man she remembers from her nightmare. Sharon later expresses to Jay that she finds Abigail and Wojciech's extended stay at her home oppressive and that she wishes they would leave. That night, Abigail sees a woman standing outside the window of her bedroom. Sharon has a nightmare: she, Jay, Abigail, and Wojciech are brutally murdered by Manson followers Tex Watson, Patricia Krenwinkel aka "Yellow," and Susan Atkins.
Sharon becomes convinced that Manson and this group of people are plotting to kill her, but Abigail and Wojciech dismiss her fears as paranoia stemming from her pregnancy. Sharon brings the Manson recording to Steven, who is knowledgeable about technology, and he determines that it contains subliminal messages when played in reverse, revealing the phrase "Helter Skelter." Sharon subsequently has a nightmare in which she finds Steven's corpse in his car, and becomes convinced the dreams are premonitions. When Sharon believes she is going into labor, Steven runs to start his car. Sharon sees that Manson's followers have arrived, and rushes to the car, attempting to thwart his impending murder. Steven crashes the car into a fence, and he and Sharon flee back to the house on foot, as Tex shoots in their direction repeatedly.
In the house, Sharon, Abigail, Steven, and Wojciech attempt to barricade the entrances, and find the power has been cut. Jay arrives at the house just as they are confronted by Tex, who tells Jay he is the devil and has come "to do the devil's business." Tex and Susan usher them into the living room, where Steven and Wojciech are bound and gagged. Sharon manages to thwart the killers' plan by stabbing Tex with a penknife and freeing Jay, resulting in a melee in which Abigail smashes Susan's head on the corner of a table, killing her.
Sharon, Jay, Abigail, and Steven retreat to Steven's trailer while Patricia searches for Wojciech, who is still hiding in the house. Yellow attempts to kill him, but he violently beats her before drowning her in the bathtub. Tex, injured but still alive, tracks the group as Steven attempts to use a CB radio to call for help. Tex breaches the camper, but Steven beats him with a shovel before Sharon shoots him to death.
At dawn, the group approaches the house and as the others continue to the main road, Sharon returns to observe the crime scene. She is shocked to discover the corpses of Jay, Wojciech, Abigail and herself; their conquering of Manson's followers was merely an imagined alternate possibility and she realizes that her premonitions were actually memories of what had already occurred, and that she and the others are, in fact, ghosts. Sharon, Jay, Abigail, Wojciech and Steven — realizing they are in the afterlife — walk away from the house, Sharon holding the child that she did not live to give birth to.

The story is roughly divided into two parts: before and after 1927, the year in which it was written. The story began in the late evening of 9 June 1906, when the protagonist Robert Gordon was born. The early part of the book is mostly about the early life of Robert, including how he found and lost his true love, Marie Stanton, who was born on 6 October 1908. The loss of Marie Stanton inspired Robert to become the greatest inventor in history. After 1927, the book describes an imaginary war from April 1930 to July 1932, in which Robert single-handedly help the United States to win with his amazing inventions.
The final episode of the trilogy is an original story that was not mentioned in the film. The story focuses on how the Blair Witch legend came to be. The game is set in 1785, in the early days of the Blair Township (later renamed Burkittsville). The story's main character is Jonathan Prye, a former priest who left the clergy during a crisis of faith. Prye, now a witch-hunter, is called to Blair to investigate events related to the disappearance of a woman called Elly Kedward a few weeks earlier.
Elly Kedward was accused of witchcraft after it was found she had been drawing blood from the local children and performing pagan rituals. She was tried, convicted and sentenced to be banished from the town. Instead, the locals tied her to a wheelbarrow, dragged her into the nearby woods and left her to freeze to death. Kedward disappeared from the wheelbarrow to which she was tied, and was never seen again.
A few days later, children from the township began to disappear, and the terrified villagers began to flee — with only the local magistrate, Jonah, and the township's chaplain, Father Hale Goodfellow, remaining behind. Father Goodfellow is convinced that a supernatural force is at work; Jonah, a skeptic, refuses to believe this, assuming Kedward is behind the kidnappings and is still at large near the town. There are also two people who are locked in a jail in the town: Hirrum Heathtow is a drunk, and Elizabeth Styler is a supposed witch who was arrested when she was found in Elly's house, reciting strange phrases.
The player must guide Prye through his investigation, to discover what happened to Elly Kedward. In his search, he happens upon a child having been bound and tortured in the forest. After freeing the child, a voice warns him not to interfere before sending zombies onto him. In the forest, Prye meets a shaman by the name of Asgaya Gigagei, who tells him of the legend of Hecaitomix, an evil spirit once worshipped by the Natives before white settlers first arrived. Angered that he's no longer revered, Hecaitmox plans to destroy the human race and conquer the world. Prye learns that Hecaitomix has abducted a number of children for sacrificial murder, and makes it his quest to rescue them.
Prye's journey not only takes him throughout the woods, but into the spirit realm which Hecaitmox conquered, but the demonic realm which he already rules. While rescuing Hecaitomix's hostages and facing his minions, Prye eventually faces Hecatomix himself, with Asgaya's help. After escaping Hecaitomix's realm, Prye encounters Styler, who reveals herself to be a servant and vessel of Hecaitomix. The two fight, with Prye managing to defeat her (either by killing her or exorcising the demon from her body).
If Styler is killed, Prye is thanked by the townspeople for having rescued the children and is offered a job as a constable, which Prye declines, having regained his faith and returns to his church to resume his previous position. Exorcising Styler results in a different ending where she returns to her senses and thanks Prye, explaining that she had been under the demon's influence all throughout the story. She asks Prye to come with her, hinting at a romantic partnership. Prye declines, reaffirming his faith and desire to return to his flock. Prye and Styler share a goodbye and part ways.

Selena and her older sister Julie, live with their parents in Manchester, England. One day, when Julie is 17, she disappears without a trace. Several suspects are arrested, including an artisan, Steven Jimson, but all are released for lack of evidence. Hatchmere lake and its surrounds, believed to have been visited by Julie, are searched, but yield nothing. Years of conflict over Julie's disappearance leads to the sisters' parents divorcing: their mother stops thinking about her, while their father, convinced Julie is alive, obsesses over her, and suffers a mental breakdown and dies.
Twenty years later, Selena, who now works for Vanja at a jewellery store, and has come to terms with her sister's disappearance, is surprised by a phone call from a woman claiming to be Julie and requesting a meeting. She agrees to see her, and, although initially skeptical, is convinced it is Julie when her sister reveals something from their childhood that no one else knew about. Julie tells Selena she has been back in Manchester for 18 months, but has told no one who she is. Selena is angry with her sister for having put their family through so much anguish, but Julie tells Selena what happened to her. She reveals that she travelled from Hatchmere lake, via a rift, to a lake near the city of Fiby on the planet Tristane. Selena cannot believe how Julie could fabricate such lies to explain her absence. But as her sister expands on her story, Selena starts to wonder if such a thing could have happened. Julie explains that she was abducted by Jimson and taken to Hatchmere lake; she remembers escaping from him, then finding herself in a strange place and taken in by a woman named Cally and her brother, Noah. Julie learns from Cally where she is and that she has disappeared from this place before. Cally tells Julie that she was born on Tristane. Julie adjusts to her new life and finds out as much as she can about this new world. Years later, after a sexual encounter with Noah, Julie finds herself back in Manchester.
Selena does not know whether to believe Julie's story, and wonders if it is a fugue state brought on by her abduction. Selena takes Julie to see their mother, but she does not believe Julie is her missing daughter. Selena tells Vanja about Julie, and the two visit Hatchmere lake and attempt to retrace Julie's steps 20 years ago. Vanja finds what could be Julie's rucksack half buried in the bushes. They call the police, but make no mention of Julie's reappearance. The police later unearth a body and announce that DNA tests reveal a 98% certainty that the remains are Julie's. The sisters move into a house they bought and Selena introduces Julie to her mother as a friend, who still does not recognise Julie as her daughter.
In a Montparnasse cafe, Willy Ferrièrre (Gaston Jacquet), a gambler living beyond his means, suggests out loud that he would pay 10,000 francs for someone to kill his wealthy aunt so he can claim his inheritance. An unseen person slips him a note taking up his offer. Later, at night, a low-life criminal, Joseph Heurtin (Alexandre Rignault), enters the aunt's house, tracking footprints in the dark and following a map to the aunt's bedroom, where he expects to find a cache of money. Stumbling in the dark, he comes on the woman's dead body and with bloody hands leaves his fingerprints all over. A shadowy figure emerges (later revealed to be Radek (Vàlery Inkijinof), a Czech emigré) who assures Heurtin that he will clean up the prints and tells him to hide out. After Heurtin leaves, Radek walks out of the house and locks the door without cleaning up the crime scene.
The murder case is assigned to Inspector Maigret (Harry Baur), whose men follow the clues left to discover Heurtin's identity and track him to his parents' house in Versailles, where he has been hiding. Under arrest, Heurtin protests his innocence and tells Maigret about the other man in the aunt's house. The magistrate assigned to the case doesn't believe Heurtin's story and is ready to prosecute him, but Maigret allows the man to escape and has him followed by his men. Heurtin unknowingly leads Maigret back to the cafe where Radek, who is now blackmailing Ferrièrre, draws his attention. Suspecting that a third person is involved in the murder, Maigret has several encounters with Radek, who all but confesses to the "perfect crime," but Heurtin is able to escape from police surveillance.
Though officially removed from the case for letting Heurtin escape, Maigret suspects that Radek will lead him to the person who first hired the murderer. Returning again to the cafe, Maigret sits and drinks with Ferrièrre and his mistress Edna (Gina Manès). While there, Radek, who is dying of tuberculosis, confronts Willy and Edna and takes her to his apartment, while Ferrièrre does nothing. At his apartment, Radek confesses his passion for Edna, his loneliness as he is dying, and his hatred of higher-class pretenders like Ferrièrre. While Edna struggles with Radek, Maigret and his men approach the apartment, but Radek is set on by Heurtin. In the ensuing fight, Radek shoots one of Maigret's men, but he and Heurtin are both killed. Maigret leaves the building with Ferrièrre under arrest.
Living in Okayama, Hisashi meets Mai for the first time at a restaurant party, but she lets him know she doesn't like his sullen attitude. He apologizes, saying he had been nauseous all day, and Mai, feeling guilty, cheerfully sees him off. The two begin dating and after a few months, the shy Hisashi finally asks for her hand in marriage. She says yes and they go so far as to reserve a place for the ceremony when Mai starts suffering lapses of memory. One day she suddenly experiences an extreme seizure accompanied by hysteria.
At the hospital, she suffers a heart attack, but even after the doctors save her, she remains in a coma. She is diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, a form of brain inflammation. Hisashi visits the hospital every day and helps take care of her with her parents Hatsumi and Kōji. They begin to worry about Hisashi, however, and tell him one day not to come anymore, suggesting he get on with his life. He refuses, remembering his promise of marriage to Mai. Hatsumi is still glad to hear of his resolve, thinking of him now as a member of the family. More than a year later, Mai finally wakes from the coma, but in the words of the doctor, needs to start all over again, re-learning how to speak and move her body.
After several years of rehabilitation, Mai remains in a wheelchair, but is mostly back to her old cheerful self. But it becomes clear she remembers nothing of Hisashi from before the coma. She desperately tries to remember, even going to places they once visited, but her efforts are only a burden on her still frail body. Hisashi decides it is best to not see Mai anymore and moves to Shodo Island.
One day, Mai happens upon the ceremony hall where they had reserved a date for their marriage.

''Runaway'' is based on a short story of the same name written by Chae Seo-hae in 1924.
The film opens with a quote from Victor Hugo's ''Les Misérables'': "So long as ignorance and misery remain on Earth, books like this cannot be useless..." The opener was highly unorthodox for a North Korean film, since North Korean works of culture habitually only referenced texts written by the leader Kim Il-sung, and certainly not of foreigners. Footage of Paris and Tokyo is seen in the film.
The film is set in the 1920s in Korea under Japanese occupation. Song Ryul (played by Choe Sang-soo ) is a peasant studying in Seoul when he hears the news that his father is ill and he has to return to the countryside. His richer cousin gives him a plot of land to farm on. Song, his wife (played by Choi Eun-hee), and his parents tend to the land, but right before harvest the cousin sells the land and its crop to the Japanese. Song's father voices his opposition, but is killed by the police. Song and his family are ruined and they have to move to Kando (Jiandao) in Manchuria. The area has a reputation for being lawless territory. The life of Song's family there is a "numbing catalogue of their difficulties": being robbed, exploited, and cheated. Song's mother is attacked by a pack of rabid dogs owned by a business man in "a horrific scene", and has to buy medicine. The local pharmacist, however, refuses to sell it without being paid immediately. Song is enraged and smashes the pharmacy with an axe and sets it on fire. He is arrested and sent to prison by train. The prison is however attacked by Kim Il-sung and his guerrillas who free the inmates. Song joins them in their fight against the Japanese occupiers. He partakes in an operation to blow up the train tracks he was transported to prison on and a Japanese army train.

Mong-ryong's valet Pang Ja and Chunhyang's servant Hyang Dan conspire to arrange a meeting between Mong-ryong, Chunhyang and her mother. After this proper introduction, the two fall in love, as do the servants. Mong-ryong's father does not approve of Chunhyang because of her lower social class, but the two get married in secret. Mong-ryong is sent to the capital to be educated as a government official. While he is away, the province where Chunhyang lives in gets a new governor.

In February 1921, when the Soviet Red Army invaded independent Georgia, the government decided to collect all the treasury property and museum treasures and flee to France in emigration. They entrusted Ekvtime Takaishvili to collect the treasure and appointed him as a guard. The film's story is about hard life and activities of Ekvtime Takaishvili (actor - Rezo Chkhikvishvili), which mainly includes the history of the protection of the treasury in France during the emigration period in 1921-1945 and how Ekvtime Takaishvili returned it. The film is accompanied by the love story of Ekvtime and his charming wife and companion Nino Poltaratskaya (actress - Ana Tsereteli). Ekvtime himself defended the Georgian treasure from the world famous museums, rich collectors, court disputes, criminals and fascists to endure all the temptations and never deviated from the supreme moral principles and love of the Motherland, what is eternal in this world. In 2002 the Georgian Holly Church canonized Ekvtime Takaishvili and named him as „Man of God“.
In the middle of the jungle, all the animals go to school, singing along. Among these animals is an elephant who leads the chorus, a piglet who is full of mud, and a highly indifferent hippopotamus who walks so slow that a snail rapidly passes him.
When they arrive in class, the elephant sits in front of a hostile monkey who uses a washboard to hit and annoy the elephant. In the meantime, the hippopotamus simply sits outside the class and soundly sleeps.
The teacher, a goose, sings another song while asking the animals various questions. They all reply that they can't remember. However, the elephant proceeds to remind them that he never forgets. This continues until the goose asks the elephant a simple math question, which he shamefully admits to forget, and the class retorts him for it.
After this, the goose makes the class take a test, which she leaves in charge of a turtle.
As a joke, the animals use their quill pens to target the turtle's back, which looks like a dartboard.
After the test, the goose lets the class go home. The hippopotamus wakes up and gleefully runs home faster than a rabbit.
As the animals finish their sing-along song, the monkey kicks the elephant, but gets hurt as the elephant places the washboard in his overalls. Then he hits the monkey in the head and cheerfully recites his favorite slogan, "An elephant never forgets."

Shim Chong is the daughter of a poor blind farmer whose wife has died. Her father visits a temple one day and is told by a monk that his blindness could be cured in exchange for 300 sacks of rice. The farmer agrees to supply the sacks, but soon realizes that he is not able to.
Meanwhile, a group of sailors lament that they have angered the God of the Sea. The only way to appease the god is to sacrifice a young girl. Shim Chong agrees to be the sacrificial offering if the sailors provide the sacks of rice her father is missing and some money.

Tallis summons Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck to his office and orders him to lead the investigation. It is quickly established that there is an "unresolved tension" between Tallis and Colbeck which is an underlying theme of the whole series, although the two have great professional respect for each other. Colbeck and Detective Sergeant Victor Leeming travel to Leighton Buzzard where they meet Inspector Rory McTurk of the railway police. McTurk strongly resents their involvement but Colbeck and Leeming soon establish that members of the railway police were guilty of deserting their posts on the train in order to play cards, thus making it much easier for the gang to carry out the robbery. Meanwhile, train driver Caleb Andrews is not expected to survive and his daughter Madeleine arrives in Leighton Buzzard to care for him.
Colbeck is convinced that the gang had inside information and were certainly in possession of duplicated safe keys. He and Leeming begin enquiries at the organisations involved with the shipment: the L&NWR, the Post Office, the Royal Mint, the fictitious Spurling's Bank in Birmingham and the Chubb factory in Wolverhampton. As a result, they become aware of Daniel Slender, who duplicated the safe keys at Chubb; William Ings of the Post Office, who was involved in the mail train's scheduling; and Albert Woodhead of the Royal Mint, who unwittingly advised Ings of the gold consignment. The L&NWR and the Birmingham bank are absolved of involvement in the crime.
Ings is the first of the suspects to be pursued and Colbeck discovers that he is hiding in the notorious Devil's Acre. To find Ings, Colbeck seeks help from Brendan Mulryne, a former colleague who is now a resident there. Mulryne establishes a connection between Ings and the prostitute Polly Roach but, though he finds Roach, he is too late to prevent the murder of Ings. In due course, Slender meets a similar fate. It is clear to Colbeck that the gang are eliminating loose ends and weak links to remain undetected. Colbeck is concerned about the unnecessary destruction of the steam engine after the robbery and believes he is looking for someone with influence who hates the railways.
Although Tallis dismisses Colbeck's theory, it is valid as gang leader Sir Humphrey Gilzean has an obsessive hatred of railways. He blames them for the accidental death of his wife. The gang strikes again at the Kilsby Tunnel, placing gunpowder at one end in a bid to destroy both the tunnel and a train carrying glass sheets for use in the Crystal Palace. The explosion is detonated too soon to destroy the train and causes only superficial damage to the tunnel. Colbeck makes the connection and realises, despite more opposition from Tallis, that an attempt will be made to destroy the locomotives on display at the Great Exhibition.
Colbeck is right about the Crystal Palace and, aided by Leeming and Mulryne, is able to arrest Jukes and the Seymours one night when they try to destroy the ''Lord of the Isles''. The gangsters refuse to give information about their leaders. Gilzean and Sholto have added to their haul by blackmailing the senders of complicit letters which were in the stolen mailbags. They are fearful of imminent arrest and Gilzean instructs Sholto to find someone whom Colbeck cares about to distract him from the investigation. Caleb Andrews is no longer a critical case and has been taken home where Madeleine is looking after him. She has met Colbeck in the course of the investigation and there is a mutual attraction between them which develops as the novel progresses. Sholto follows Colbeck and observes the affection he has for Madeleine during a visit to the Andrews household. As a result, Gilzean and Sholto kidnap Madeleine and send a demand to the Met for the release of Jukes and the Seymours.
Working on what little is known about the three prisoners, Colbeck and Leeming discover their common military background and make the link between them and two of their former officers who both left the Army on the same day. These are Gilzean and Sholto. Colbeck establishes that Gilzean has a pathological hatred of railways and even Tallis agrees that the case has been solved, so the investigation is now a manhunt but with Madeleine's life at stake. Fortunately for Madeleine, Gilzean is protective of her and will not allow Sholto to molest her. Tallis leads a raid on Gilzean's Berkshire residence but he bungles it and the criminals escape, still holding Madeleine as a hostage.
Colbeck finds documents in Gilzean's house which convince him they are taking Madeleine to Bristol to board ship and flee the country. The criminals are travelling by road and so Colbeck and Leeming go to Bristol via the Great Western Railway (GWR). They arrive first and intercept the two criminals on board their ship in harbour. Madeleine, unharmed, is freed and reunited with her father. The bond between Colbeck and Madeleine is permanent and, when Colbeck receives two complimentary tickets from the grateful Prince Albert for the opening of the Great Exhibition, he invites Madeleine to join him.
At The Angler's Rest pub, the topic of twins arises, and Mr. Mulliner recounts the following story involving his nephews, the identical twins George and Alfred. Alfred is a magician in London professionally known as "The Great Alfredo", while George is a low-ranking scriptwriter in Hollywood, being essentially a yes-man to his boss Jacob Schnellenhamer. Mr. Mulliner befriends Schnellenhamer and sees George on Schnellenhamer's yacht heading to Monte Carlo. George is eager to collect an inheritance left to him by his godmother from his trustee, P. P. Bassinger, in Monaco.
At Monte Carlo, Mr. Mulliner is surprised to see Alfred, who is performing at the Casino. Mr. Mulliner tells Alfred that he is with the filmmaker Schnellenhamer. Alfred leaves for rehearsal before Mr. Mulliner can tell him that George has also come. Later, Schnellenhamer says that Sam Glutz, whom Schnellenhamer came to Monte Carlo to do business with, was mugged and knocked out near the Casino. He was found by a passer-by and taken to a hospital. Sergeant Brichoux of the Monaco police arrives, looking for George Mulliner. George's wallet was found near where Glutz was mugged. Concerned, Mr. Mulliner looks for George.
He finds George, who had been drinking because Bassinger gambled George's inheritance away and ran off to South America. George remarks that he dreamed he had brawled with someone. Mr. Mulliner concludes that George must have mugged Sam Glutz when drunk. He tells George to flee, but George's passport is on the yacht. George cannot get it while the police are around, and he says his uncle would never find it. George resigns himself to his fate, saying of life, "You can't win". Mr. Mulliner, hearing "twin", gets an idea: George will retrieve his passport pretending to be Alfred.
On the yacht, a man claiming to be Alfred shows up and pitches an idea to Schnellenhamer to include a magician in his next film. Mr. Mulliner realizes this is actually Alfred. Alfred goes further into the yacht to get materials to demonstrate his tricks, and then George appears, pretending to be Alfred. Sergeant Brichoux is about to arrest George when a bandaged man, Sam Glutz, approaches. Schnellenhamer tells him that they have the mugger, George, and that he has fired George. However, Sam reveals that George actually saved his life by fending off the mugger. Sam hires George and promises him a large salary. Sam, George and Mr. Mulliner leave to have lunch. Meanwhile, Alfred returns to demonstrate his tricks to Schnellenhamer.
In 1934, after two years on the run, criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow break several associates out of Texas' Eastham Prison Farm. Texas Department of Corrections Chief Lee Simmons persuades Governor "Ma" Ferguson to hire former Texas Ranger Frank Hamer to track down the criminals.
Reluctant to leave retirement and his wife Gladys, Hamer joins the manhunt after the fugitive gang is involved in a devastating shootout in Missouri, and he recruits his former partner, Benjamin Maney Gault.
Information from FBI wiretapping of the fugitives' families leads Hamer and Gault to conclude that Bonnie and Clyde are returning "home" to Dallas. Watching Bonnie's mother's house, they see a man throw a bottle into her yard, which is soon thrown back, but a boy escapes with it.
Dismissing the Rangers' theory, the FBI believe the fugitives are in Brownsville. Hamer and Gault meet with Dallas Sheriff "Smoot" Schmid, who introduces them to Deputy Sheriff Ted Hinton, a childhood friend of the pair who can identify them on sight. The gang kills two policemen in nearby Grapevine; Hamer and Gault investigate the scene and determine that Bonnie has a rabbit, which Hinton suggests is a present for a family member.
The Rangers drive to Oklahoma and question a gas station attendant, who declares his support for the criminals. Hamer gets the man to admit the gang passed through en route to a migrant camp, where a local girl confirms they stayed. A radio bulletin alerts the Rangers to two more murdered officers but, being outside their jurisdiction, they are barred from passing the police roadblock, which a frustrated Hamer drives around.
They continue to Coffeyville, Kansas, correctly guessing that Bonnie and Clyde will stop there for supplies. As the Rangers move in on the fugitives, an adoring crowd surrounds the criminals' car. Hamer and Gault give chase, but Bonnie and Clyde escape through a dirt field.
Learning that Clyde had breakfast in Amarillo, the Rangers return to Dallas to find the rabbit has been delivered to Bonnie's family. Hamer meets Henry Barrow, Clyde's father, who affirms that his son must be stopped. The Rangers have Simmons furlough Wade McNabb, an incarcerated associate of the gang, hoping to draw them out.
While Hamer interrogates McNabb at a bar, Gault is threatened in the restroom by thugs sympathetic to the gang, but subdues them. Learning that Bonnie plans to meet a hairdresser the next day, the Rangers surveil her mother's house again. A man throws another bottle into the yard, which is retrieved by the same boy but intercepted by the Rangers; it contains a message that the gang are heading elsewhere. Realizing McNabb warned the gang, the Rangers visit his home and discover him beaten to death.
Simmons recalls Hamer and Gault to Austin, but they return to their theory that "outlaws always go home", predicting that the fugitives are going to Bienville Parish, Louisiana, home of gang member Henry Methvin's father, Ivy. Searching Ivy's house, the Rangers find evidence of the outlaws' recent stay. They join forces with local Sheriff Henderson Jordan and Deputy Prentiss Oakley to confront Ivy; in exchange for his son's safety, he reveals that the gang will soon return.
The lawmen are joined by Hinton and Dallas Sheriff's Deputy Bob Alcorn, and Gault tells them of his first deployment with Hamer: they killed a gang of bandits, including a fleeing 13-year-old boy. Ivy informs them the gang is arriving the next day, and the posse prepare an ambush on the road to his house, staging his truck as if it has broken down.
Bonnie and Clyde arrive, stopping to assist Ivy, and Hamer orders them to raise their hands. Instead, the criminals prepare to draw their own weapons, but are gunned down. The bullet-riddled car with Bonnie and Clyde's bodies is towed to Arcadia, Louisiana and mobbed by onlookers. Refusing $1,000 for an interview with the Associated Press, Hamer and Gault drive home.
