In rural Wiggly, Georgia in 1977, a group of elementary-school misfits band together to form their own troop of Birdie Scouts.
Led by spunky outcast Christmas Flint (Mckenna Grace), they infiltrate the Birdie Scout youth group in order to win a talent show. The winning Birdies will earn the right to have their voices included on the Voyager Golden Record, which Christmas believes will be heard by life in outer space, a connection her deceased mother nurtured. When they form the troop, the only number left unassigned in the state is zero; while the Birdie Troop leader Krystal Massey (Allison Janney) intends to assign "Troop Zero" to them as a slight, the girls, and one boy, take it as a good sign as it's the number representing infinity. Troop Zero requires a troop mother, and they find one in Christmas's father's secretary Rayleen (Viola Davis), who also has history with Mrs. Massey.
To qualify to compete in the talent show, Troop Zero must first obtain one troop badge each. As they go about earning them, they learn more about themselves and each other. The troop enters the contest, performing an interpretive dance of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity". During the performance Christmas gets nervous and wets herself and the rest of the kids joins her to make her feel comfortable and the crowd laughs at them, but they carry on with their performance. In the end, they lose when the judges vote for the high-and-mighty Birdie Troop Five. Later that night, the representative from NASA joins the Troop Zero members during a meteor shower to record their voices to be transmitted into space as well. Hopeful and confident, Christmas wishes that the aliens are happy, that they're taking care of her mom, and that they have the same kind of friends she’s gained from the experience.

In Swinton, Louisiana, police officer Kevin Ganning pulls over a green van for not having a license plate. Ganning demands the driver to leave their vehicle. When Ganning notices a bloody rag, he aggressively demands the driver to exit the vehicle. When Ganning points his gun at the driver, the driver exits the vehicle but then suddenly an unknown entity pulls Ganning away.
12 hours earlier, Officer Renee Lomito-Smith is being cleared to return to active duty after an altercation with a civilian and is paired with rookie Danny Holledge. They get a call from dispatch where officer Ganning is "failure to respond." Officers Lomito-Smith and Holledge go to investigate Ganning's last known location. Lomito-Smith finds the dash-cam footage in the police car, where she witnesses Ganning was beaten bloody by an unknown entity. They soon find Ganning's lifeless body hanging and call it in. Sergeant Kesper tells them that the footage has been destroyed, long before Lomito-Smith and Holledge had arrived.
Lomito-Smith soon gets a lead, when she recognizes the logo of a hospital from the driver's pants. She is then able to get the identity and home address of the driver, who happens to be Taneesha Branz. She and Holledge arrive at Taneesha's home and find that it's been abandoned. They turn off their bodycams as they enter the house. While checking the home, they find a photo of Taneesha and her son. As they continue to investigate, Holledge leaves quickly when he becomes too scared because of roaches. Officer Lomito-Smith continues to search but unable to find anything leaves. As she goes to exit, she finds that it is locked and as she tries to get out, she becomes aware that she is being watched by an unknown entity. As the entity gets closer to Lomito-Smith with the intent to kill her, Renee breaks the window on the door, escaping the home just in time.
Lomito-Smith investigates Taneesha, upon which she discovers that her son Demarco was killed in a gang shoot out. Elsewhere, Taneesha shops in a grocery’s store late at night where she is immediately harassed by two men in-store. Officers Roberts and Birke spot the green van, notifying dispatch and demanding backup. Lomito-Smith and Holledge answer the call for help and change their route to provide assistance to Roberts and Birke. Birke and Roberts enter the store and question the two men aggressively, despite neither man showing any hostility towards the officers. In a moment of rage, one of the men shoots and kills Birke as he takes Taneesha hostage. As he threatens to kill Taneesha, the dark entity suddenly lifts the man, causing him to let go of Taneesha. He begins firing his gun in fear, killing the store clerk as well as his partner. Taneesha slips out through the back exit during the commotion. Officer Roberts quickly investigates the area where the shooter was, when his body falls down to the ground, beaten. Unable to speak, he points in an attempt to warn Roberts that the entity is behind him. Before Roberts can react, there is a bag placed over his face to suffocate him by the entity. He manages to escape and tried his best to fight the entity but to no avail, he is soon killed.
Officers Lomito-Smith and Holledge arrive at the store but when they enter the store, they find everyone dead. Lomito-Smith investigates in the rear parts of the store, finding no other persons there. She comes across the security camera recordings but as she reviews it, she find that it is unusable. When she goes back into the store, she finds the phone of one of the two men and steals it hoping to find a lead. After returning to the station, she visits the medical examiner to get details about the victims. The medical examiner explains how the body is damaged in the most unusual way but points out that all the victims have had their teeth knocked out. Lomito-Smith pleads with the medical examiner to give her five minutes alone with the bodies. He agrees but tells her that she cannot steal anything or disrupt the bodies, because she is not supposed to be there. She pulls out the phone that she found at the store, unlocking it with the thumbprint of one of the two men. She removes the lock screen option when she's in to prevent the need for another thumbprint. Later that evening, she reviews the video from the phone, noticing the entity behind Taneesha and the man holding her hostage.
Lomito-Smith gets a lead on the origin of the green van, where it was reported stolen. She heads to an unnamed church and questions the Pastor, deducing that the van was never stolen but loaned to Taneesha. The Pastor explains that Taneesha's son, Demarco, was an avid volunteer to many organizations but he was also deaf. When Lomito-Smith asks where Taneesha could possibly be, the Pastor gives a possible location but when she arrives she only finds articles of Demarco's death as well as photos of Officers Ganning, Roberts, Holledge, and Penda. Officer Lomito-Smith happens to see that a camera is watching her. She tries to call Sergeant Kesper, but he does not pick up. She then calls Holledge and tells him that she needs to talk to him face-to-face. He agrees that she can come over one hour. When Renee arrives at Danny's house, she finds his front door open. She enters the home and searches for him, finding him in the bathroom where he has committed suicide. As she is grief-stricken over finding his body, Renee turns towards the sink, finding a note left to her, saying "I'm Sorry, Danny" as well as a flash drive.
Once she gets back to her vehicle, she inserts the flash drive into her computer. On the drive is Holledge's body cam footage of himself and officers Ganning, Roberts, and Penda during a police stop. It shows where they are yelling at a young man to stop walking as he is suspect. The young man continues walking and then is shot by Penda. Penda and Roberts go to the body. Roberts hands the cell phone to Penda and begins going through the young man's backpack. Penda then realizes the young man is deaf, and it turns out to be Demarco, Taneesha's son. Officer Holledge tries to help him and points out that his teeth came out, but Penda tells Holledge how bad this situation is and how they will face grave consequences. He persuades Holledge that they can handle it, but soon regrets it after Penda suffocates the young man by putting a bag over his head.
Lomito-Smith calls Sergeant Kesper and arranges a meet up. She meets him at a warehouse and tells him what the four officers did to Demarco but Kesper is already aware of it. He pulls his gun on Renee and tells her that it's best left covered and it will do more harm than good. As she walks inside the building at gun point, Officer Penda gets out of the car and follows behind them. Once inside, Penda demands Renee to hand over the footage. When she declines, Penda shoots her in her abdomen area, into the Kevlar vest. Suddenly, Taneesha arrives out of nowhere and saying to Officer Penda "YOU KILLED MY SON ... DEMARCO... YOU REMEMBER HIM CAUSE HE REMEMBERS YOU." The entity is revealed as the vengeful spirit of Demarco, who then beats up Sergeant Kesper and like the other victims, the end result is Kesper's teeth are knocked out. Renee and Taneesha escape to another part of the warehouse while this is happening. When Penda comes looking for them, Renee shoots him in his right arm. As he continues to threaten, Demarco's spirit attacks him and brutally kills Penda by removing his innards out of his body, raising his body and slamming it down on a large pipe. As Renee stands there ready to confront Demarco, Taneesha comes up and assures her that he will not harm her. After emergency services arrive to the scene and while sitting at the ambulance doors, Renee and Taneesha see both of their sons together, signifying that they have found peace and now able to move on. The news soon covers the corruption on the Swinton police department and Kesper, who survived the attack from Demarco, is found guilty and sent to prison.

After showing the pod to PC Yasmin Khan, his old school friend, Ryan receives a call from his grandmother, Grace, learning that she and her husband Graham O'Brien, are trapped on board their train by a floating orb of electric tentacles, alongside a crane operator, Karl. Ryan and Yasmin reach the train just as the newly-regenerated Doctor falls through the carriage ceiling. The orb departs, shortly after zapping the group with an energy bolt. Karl leaves while the others remain with the Doctor, suffering partial post-regeneration amnesia while discovering they have all been implanted with DNA-destroying bombs.
The search for the orb brings the group to a warehouse whose owner acquired the pod, linking it to his sister's disappearance, arriving just after the man was killed by an alien that emerged from the pod. The Doctor, assuming the two aliens are mortal enemies, tinkers with the pod and builds a replacement sonic screwdriver from spare parts before the group finds and subdues the orb. The orb is revealed as a mass of biological data-gathering coils with data on Karl. The second alien soon appears, introducing himself as Tzim-Sha of the warlike Stenza who came to Earth for a ritualistic hunt for leadership. Though a furious Doctor (addressing him as "Tim Shaw") demands Tzim-Sha and his people leave Earth alone, he downloads the coils' data before teleporting to Karl's location at a construction yard.
After the group is unsuccessful in preventing Tzim-Sha capturing him, the Doctor fully recalls her identity and confronts him. Ordering Tzim-Sha to release the human, she threatens to destroy his recall device and strand the Stenza on Earth upon his refusal. Tzim-Sha responds by detonating the DNA bombs, but the Doctor reveals she transferred them back into the coils, which the Stenza unknowingly self-implanted while downloading its data. As the Doctor throws the recall device at Tzim-Sha to return him to his planet, Grace dies as the result of falling from the crane while successfully destroying the coils. Following Grace's funeral and a change of clothing, the Doctor builds a teleporter to reach the TARDIS. She bids the others farewell, only to inadvertently bring them with her into deep space.

Multinational Kaslan Corporation has just launched ''Buddi'', a revolutionary line of high-tech dolls designed to be lifelong companions to their owners, learning from their surroundings, and acting accordingly, quickly becoming a worldwide success. At a Kaslan assembly factory in Vietnam, an overworked employee is fired by his supervisor for unsatisfactory performance. In retaliation, he tampers with the ''Buddi'' doll that he is assembling by disabling all of its safety protocols before committing suicide. The doll is packaged alongside others for its international delivery.
In Chicago, widowed retail clerk Karen Barclay and her twelve-year-old hearing-impaired son Andy have moved into a new apartment. In an attempt to cheer Andy up for the relocation and the presence of her new boyfriend Shane, Karen blackmails her boss in order to procure a ''Buddi'' doll, giving it to Andy as an early birthday gift. It is revealed to be the defective model. Once activated, the doll names himself "Chucky" and becomes attached to Andy. Over time, Chucky helps him to befriend two other children, Falyn and Pugg, but also begins to display violent tendencies. He tries to strangle the Barclays' pet cat after it scratches Andy and, while he and his friends gleefully watch ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2'', Chucky starts mimicking the violence, approaching the trio with a kitchen knife before Andy disarms him.
When Andy arrives home the next morning, he finds that his cat is dead. Chucky admits to having killed it so that it would not hurt Andy again. Karen locks the doll in a closet, but he escapes and terrorizes Shane, which leads him to confront Andy. Misunderstanding Andy's pleas for Shane to disappear, Chucky follows him to his home, where it is revealed that Shane is married with children and is having an affair with Karen behind his wife's back. While Shane is outside taking down Christmas lights, Chucky breaks his legs and activates a cultivator that scalps and kills him. The following day, Chucky delivers Shane's skinned face as a gift to a horrified Andy.
While police detective Mike Norris begins an investigation, Andy, Falyn, and Pugg disable Chucky and throw him into the garbage. Voyeur electrician Gabe finds and fixes the doll to sell him in an online sale. Now fully functional, Chucky tortures Gabe with a knife and uses a table saw to kill him. Making his way back to the apartment, Chucky lands in possession of another child, Omar, and proceeds to kill Norris' mother Doreen in a controlled car crash. Meanwhile, Andy fails to convince Karen that the doll has become murderous and she takes him along to her work at the local shopping mall to keep him nearby. Suspecting that Andy is responsible of the murders, Norris travels to the mall and arrests him just as Chucky takes full control of the building.
Chaos is unleashed as several employees and customers are brutally killed by rampaging ''Buddi'' dolls while Chucky triggers the mall's lockdown sequence. Norris is wounded among the massacre, and Andy and his friends manage to escape. However, Andy is forced to return when Chucky reveals that he is holding Karen hostage. Andy travels to the mall's storage and saves his mother as the doll attacks him. He overpowers Chucky and stabs him in his power cell before Norris shoots the doll down and Karen beheads him. As the police and paramedics tend to Karen, Norris, and other survivors outside the mall, Andy and his friends burn Chucky's body in a nearby alleyway.
In the aftermath of Chucky's killing spree, Kaslan CEO Henry Kaslan issues a statement regarding Chucky's faulty programming, and announces a massive ''Buddi'' dolls recall. As one of the dolls is being placed into storage, his eyes flicker red and smiles, revealing that Chucky transferred his self-awareness into a new body.

A teenage girl, Cee, and her father, Damon, descend in a landing pod from a transport spaceship to the surface of a forest moon covered in poisonous spores to mine for gems. They suffer a technical malfunction during the descent which cripples the lander and the pair touch down some distance away from their planned prospecting site. The duo begins traveling to the site on foot and comes across an abandoned dig site. Damon and Cee extract a fleshy pod from the earth and dissect it to reveal a valuable gem. Cee implores her father to take the gem and return to the lander, but Damon insists they continue to the original landing site.
The pair set out again, and Damon is approached by two rival prospectors: Ezra and his silent companion. Ezra and his partner plan to rob Damon and hold him at gunpoint, but Damon suggests in a counter-offer that they join forces. Damon explains that he has been contacted to assist a group of mercenaries who stumbled upon the legendary 'queen's lair', a dig site of extraordinary value. Damon suggests that rather than digging for the mercenaries, Ezra, his companion, and Damon can work together and take the entire dig for themselves.

After negotiating passage on the mercenaries' ship, Cee and Ezra attempt to fulfill their end of the contract and extract gems from the queen's lair.

War-weary Sergeant Xavier (Marc Zinga) and fresh recruit Private ''Faustin'' (Bak) are accidentally separated from their Rwandan battalion inside Congolese territory when it is called out suddenly on nighttime raid. They face a lack of water, food, and threats from malarial fever and jungle wildlife. The two seek to reunite with the battalion by heading westward but must remain wary of interacting with the local population given Congolese antipathy to the Rwandan Army and the presence of irregular rebel factions.
At first the older Xavier is gruff and demanding toward the young private ''Faustin'' but a deep bond eventually develops between the two men, especially as ''Faustin'' makes critical contributions toward their survival. The film is interspersed with meditations on the horrors that have befallen the region and wider questions of meaning and mercy in times of war. Xavier is particularly haunted by the atrocities he has both witnessed and committed while Faustin is motivated by the murder of his family and a young wife he wishes to see again.
Eventually choosing to impersonate Congolese soldiers themselves, the two manage to fall in with a group of villagers who show them kindness and aid.

Sarah Collins (Matreya Scarrwener) and her best friend Nikki Farrow (Chanelle Peloso), attend a wrestling match at their school. There, Sarah unexpectedly catches the attention of a wrestler and fellow student, Rob Tennison (Callan Potter). He is a charismatic, newer student and star wrestler. Sarah is pleasantly surprised to find out that he shows romantic interest in her as well, and they start dating.
Before long, Rob starts becoming jealous and controlling of Sarah. At one point during a get-together at his family lake house, Sarah's friends pressure her into reading a poem that he had texted her, which angers him. He takes her cell phone outside, and when she follows him, he throws it at her in anger, breaking it. He apologizes, reminds her of how much he loves her, offers to buy her a new cell phone, and they make up. Nikki comes outside and from a distance, sees a girl living next door. They wave at each other, but the girl appears to get scared after seeing Rob behind Nikki. This leaves her confused.
Rob buys Sarah a new cell phone as promised, setting up a photo of him as the lock-screen. After school, he calls her as she is studying for a test in her bedroom. For that reason, she tells him she can't talk at the moment. However, after they hang up, Nikki calls her, needing a place to get away from her alcoholic mother. Rob finds out and gets angry at Sarah, accusing her of lying to him and that Nikki was more important than him. Nikki overhears the fight and calls his friend, Gus (Ricky He), to ask about the girl she saw next door to his family lake house. Gus tells her that they had dated the previous summer, then asks her why she wants to know. She asks him to trust her for a while, and tells him that she'll talk to him about it later.
Sarah talks with her mother, Laura (Shannen Doherty), about her relationship with Rob. Laura, who has her own history of rocky ones, thinks he is jealous but speculates that maybe he just doesn't want to lose Sarah. Later that night, he arrives at their house with an expensive dress he bought for Sarah for the upcoming school dance. When Laura tells him of her talk with Sarah, he insists that there is nothing Sarah could do that would change how he feels about her. In her room, he convinces her to try the dress on and then, when the zipper won't zip, he suggests to her that she can "lose the weight" before the dance.
At school in the girls' bathroom with Alexa (Louriza Tronco), Sarah is trying on an off-the-shoulder sweater and tight miniskirt. She is pleased and surprised that it fits, and likes how pretty she looks. Alexa notices bruising on her shoulder, but then instead of asking her about it, only helps her cover it with makeup and hide it with her hair. She takes a selfie in the outfit and posts it online. This angers Rob, who loudly and publicly shames her in the hallway, telling her she looks like a "cheap slut".
Later, thinking Rob's parents are away, Sarah goes to his house to apologize. She is surprised to be greeted by his mother (Ona Grauer), whom she never met. He turns the situation around on her, claiming she intentionally planned her visit as a way of meeting his mother. He angrily declares it "wasn't the right time", and when she leaves, he follows her outside. The situation escalates as he accuses her of always nagging him, after which he punches her so hard that she falls to the ground, injured. Stunned and upset, she breaks up with him and runs away, telling him not to contact her.
When she arrives home, Sarah finds Laura silent on the couch. She hides her injuries as Laura informs her that her own boyfriend just broke up with her. Just as it looks like Sarah might open up to her, she takes a phone call from work and Sarah storms off to her room. When Laura comes in, she notices Sarah's injuries. She lies, saying she fell and "Rob wasn't even there", then verbally takes her frustration out on Laura. Later that day, Rob promises to stop abusing her, and they get back together. He gives her a ring, making her promise that they will be together forever.
When Sarah tells Nikki that she and Rob broke up and got back together, Nikki says that he's not going to change. Sarah accuses her of betrayal, and walks off to be with him. Upset and confused, Nikki seeks out the ex-girlfriend she'd seen earlier at Rob's family lake house, hoping to get information and advice. When they meet, she describes to Nikki the abuse she suffered at his hands. She tells Nikki she stopped talking to him altogether, but never reported it because she didn't want to be "that girl" and that "it's not a good look" to stay with a guy who was abusing her. Nikki asks her how she can help Sarah, and she advises her just to be there for Sarah, no matter who she dates.
At the dance, Nikki sees Sarah for the first time since their fight and apologizes to her. She gladly accepts and apologizes too. On the dance floor, when Rob notices her speaking and laughing with another boy, he pushes him and then drags her outside. Nikki and Gus follow them to the parking lot and intervene, so that he can't hurt her again. With Nikki's support, she finally decides she has had enough of his abuse, and breaks up with him.
In the days that follow, Sarah ignores Rob's attempts to contact her. He finally tricks her into talking to him by having Jacqueline (Sarah Grey) convince her to do so. She reluctantly agrees to let him give her a ride home, and only to tell him it's really over and that she is done. She gets into his car to discover a drunken, passed-out Zack (Trezzo Mahoro) in the back seat. Rather than taking her home, he tells her that he's taking her for a drive.
The next day, Sarah's friends and family are alarmed to discover that she is missing. Zack tells Nikki he doesn't know what happened to her, because he was passed out in the back seat of Rob's car. He says that when he asked Rob about it, he claimed that they dropped her off at home, but Zack noticed that her purse was still in the car. Nikki immediately calls Laura to let her know, and she tells her Rob is there with her. Nikki then tells her about his abuse toward Sarah. Shaking, she hangs up and questions him, revealing that she knows about the abuse. When he denies it, she angrily tells him to leave. She and Nikki go to Rob's family lake house, where they find Sarah's ring. A police search team is sent into the lake, where they find her body.
As Rob is arrested by the police and charged with first degree of murder, his mother calls his father about needing a lawyer for him. At the trial (used as the framing wraparound for the film), Judge Elizabeth Hanover (Mira Sorvino) presides over the different testimonies. On the stand, Laura firmly tells Nikki that what happened to Sarah was not her fault, and tells the court that they should be looking at Rob's actions. A flashback to the night of the murder reveals that he accidentally asphyxiated her.
Judge Hanover reads the guilty verdict and then tells the witnesses to tell someone next time they see a friend being abused instead of standing by and doing nothing, implying how it could have saved Sarah from getting killed by quoting "Between the years 2001 and 2012, we lost 6,488 souls in battles fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. But during that same time period, 11,766 women were killed, but by their own partners. This is a war that we, in this country, refuse to address. It has to stop because things have gotten so dire that this is what a victory looks like; and I am sorry, folks, but today was no victory. This case should not be closed, because when it comes to domestic violence, there needs to be change on a cultural level, and that change needs to start with each and every one of you."
At school, a memorial for Sarah is created in the hallway, where friends leave photos, flowers, and mementos. Back at home in her room, Nikki and Laura mourn her death and console one another.
A postscript gives advice to people on what to do if they see domestic violence on anyone.

In the cold open we see a lone man, John Dorie, reading a book until he hears a twig break. He asks if anyone's there and no one answers. As he goes back to reading his book, he hears a walker and immediately shoots it down, revealing Morgan Jones, who was about to kill it. John asks Morgan, "So, what's your story?"
Shortly after the war with the Saviors, Morgan Jones decides to isolate himself from everyone else but after many attempts by Paul "Jesus" Rovia, Carol Peletier and Rick Grimes to persuade him to stay, Morgan leaves his community in Virginia. Morgan hesitates but ultimately decides to run away, making his way to the Texas border, where he sees an injured man shivering in a car. Morgan leaves water and a towel but the injured man refuses, telling Morgan that in this world they're always on their own. Morgan takes back the items and keeps walking.
Later that night, Morgan meets John Dorie, who offers him shelter for the night. With some reluctance, Morgan agrees to sleep the night in John's truck but later on he leaves and is captured by Leland and a small group of survivors. John comes to save Morgan but is captured; they are saved by a woman named Althea, who drives a SWAT vehicle. Althea tells Morgan and John that she is a journalist and wants to get their stories on camera.
The following morning, John tells Althea that he is on a mission to find his girlfriend, Laura. When Althea asks for Morgan's story, he refuses and decides to leave by himself. John catches him up to give him new pairs of socks but they realize they're being ambushed. They are then held at gunpoint by Leland and his men (along with Althea). Morgan uses his spear to attack, giving John time to shoot back. A quick gunfight ensues and Morgan is shot in the leg by one of Leland's men. After a brief fight, they fall and the man starts getting devoured by walkers until Morgan grabs a grenade from a walker and throws it at the walkers. He runs to the bathroom for cover as the explosion kills the walkers and the man.
Outside, John is dealing with the walkers, while Althea and Leland are fighting over the keys to the SWAT vehicle. Althea throws a set of keys and Leland, believing they're the keys to the SWAT vehicle, goes after them and is bitten by a rattlesnake. He is eventually surrounded and set upon by the walker herd. Althea uses machine guns in the SWAT vehicle to shoot the walkers as Morgan and John duck for cover.
After the fusillade ends, Althea, John and Morgan continue on the road until Morgan asks to pull over. Morgan then tells his story from Atlanta, Virginia and the communities, the king and a tiger, the war with the Saviors, until he left the settlement. Morgan decides to stop, but Althea continues asking what he's trying to get away from. Morgan decides to leave despite John's protest due to Morgan's injured leg. Althea asks Morgan to tell her one real thing. He replies, "I lose people and then I lose myself" and walks away.
Morgan continues walking until he sees the car from earlier in the episode. He sees a walker in the distance and follows it but two walkers notice him. Morgan tries limping away but falls and drops his stick. John comes to save him and tells Morgan that he's wrong about being on his own. Morgan continues toward the walker ahead, whom he realizes is the injured man from the car. Out of mercy, Morgan buries him and agrees to tag along with Althea and John until his leg heals.
Along the way, the group stops their vehicle when they see a woman crawling on the ground, who turns out to be Alicia Clark. Morgan, John and Althea are then surrounded at gunpoint by Nick Clark, Victor Strand and Luciana Galvez. Althea asks Alicia, "So what the hell is your story?", as the episode ends.
In 1999, Robert Bilott is a corporate defense lawyer from Cincinnati, Ohio working for the law firm Taft Stettinius & Hollister. Farmer Wilbur Tennant, who knows Robert's grandmother, asks Robert to investigate a number of unexplained animal deaths in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Tennant connects the deaths to the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont, and gives Robert a large case of videotapes.
Robert visits the Tennants' farm, where he learns that 190 cows have died of unusual medical conditions such as bloated organs, blackened teeth, and tumors. DuPont attorney Phil Donnelly tells him he is not aware of the case but will help out in any way he can. Robert files a small suit so he can gain information through legal discovery of the chemicals dumped on the site. When he finds nothing useful in the EPA report, he realizes the chemicals might not be regulated by the EPA.
Robert confronts Phil at an industry event, leading to an angry exchange. DuPont sends Robert hundreds of boxes, hoping to bury the evidence. Robert finds numerous references to PFOA, a chemical with no references in any medical textbook. He then discovers that PFOA is perfluorooctanoic acid, used to manufacture Teflon, used in American homes for nonstick frying pans and carpet flooring. DuPont has been running tests of the effect of PFOA for decades, finding that it causes cancer and birth defects, but did not make the findings public. They dumped thousands of tons of toxic sludge in a landfill next to Tennant's farm. PFOA and similar compounds are forever chemicals, chemicals that do not leave the blood stream and slowly accumulate.
Tennant has been shunned by his local community for suing their biggest employer. Robert encourages him to accept DuPont's settlement, but he refuses, wanting justice. He and his wife both have cancer. Robert sends the DuPont evidence to the EPA and United States Department of Justice, among others. The EPA fines DuPont $16.5 million.
Robert, however, is not satisfied; he realizes the residents of Parkersburg will suffer the effects of the PFOA for the rest of their lives. He seeks medical monitoring for all residents of Parkersburg in one large class-action lawsuit. However, DuPont sends a letter notifying residents of the presence of PFOA, thus starting the statute of limitations running, giving any further legal action only a month to begin.
Since PFOA is not regulated, Robert's team argues that the corporation is liable, as the amount in the water was higher than the one part per billion deemed safe by DuPont's internal documents. In court, DuPont claims that the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has found that 150 parts per billion are safe. The locals protest and the story becomes national news. DuPont agrees to settle for benefits valued at over $300 million. As DuPont is only required to carry out medical monitoring if scientists prove that PFOA causes the ailments, an independent scientific review is set up. To get data for it, Robert's team tells locals they can get their settlement money after donating blood. Nearly 70,000 people donate to the study.
Seven years passed with no results from the study. Tennant dies and Robert becomes destitute following several pay cuts, straining his marriage. When Supervising Partner Tom Terp tells him he needs to take another pay cut, Robert collapses, shaking. Doctors tell his wife, Sarah, that he suffered an ischemia, brought on by stress. She tells Tom to stop making Robert feel like a failure, since he is doing something for people who need help.
The scientific panel contacts Robert and tells him that PFOA has been linked to two types of cancers and four other diseases. At dinner with his family, he is informed that DuPont is reneging on the entire agreement. Robert has to take each defendant's case to DuPont, one at a time. He wins the first three cases with multimillion-dollar settlements, and DuPont settles the remaining more than 3,500 disease cases for $671 million.

In the midst of a rainstorm, they see a light sphere form in front of them, which suddenly causes the treehouse to fall into a vast dream ocean with small islands made up of their shared experiences. They sail between the islands in the treehouse to light each portal at the top, and finally to a central island and a large portal, together; as they progress, the weather of this dreamspace becomes overcast and then rainy. Once lit, the islands all collapse into the ocean, leaving them in their treehouse. When the next morning comes Arina and Frendt are hugging each other, as Frendt's family is now moving out. The two say their final goodbyes as Frendt's family drives off.
Jennifer Colton (Meg Tilly) is a divorced mother and architect who retains custody of her five-year-old daughter Mandy (Marta Woodward) while her ex-husband Walt (Michael O'Keefe) is granted regular access.

When Jennifer refuses to let her ex-husband see the child, the judge finds her in contempt and places her in a county jail until she relents. Ultimately, Jennifer decides the only way to save Mandy from abuse is to "kidnap" the child.

In 1973 Uruguay, the country is ruled by a civic-military dictatorship, and the National Army is embroiled in guerilla warfare with the leftist Tupamaros group. Three Tupamaros members, José "Pepe" Mujica, Mauricio Rosencof and Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro, are held as hostages in a government-run prison. In the next twelve years, they are repeatedly relocated to military bases around the country.
As the military is unable to kill the men owing to international pressure, it decides to torment them mentally instead. The hostages are subjected to petty rules and abuses, including solitary confinement and a mock execution. Under pressure from the hostages' families, the military chief permits a brief reunion in the prison grounds, but warns the men to be silent.
In 1975, Pepe is separated from the trio and held at the bottom of a grain silo. After a prolonged period, he experiences mental delusions and begins hallucinating about his mother. In another prison, Rosencof strikes up an acquaintance with sergeant Alzamora, and assists him in composing a letter to a girl. The three men are reunited and transported to an underground prison in 1978. Amongst the three, Pepe is locked up in complete isolation in his cell, worsening his condition. He relieves the memories of his capture and fears that they will be forgotten in the years to come.
The hostages are shifted to another prison with better conditions and given special privileges in a ruse to fool a visiting Red Cross delegation, which are revoked when the delegation leaves. During the process, a bar of soap with inscriptions is discovered in Huidobro's possession. He is subjected to questioning which exonerates him of any malicious intent, though the military chief expresses regret in not having killed him.
After items delivered by his mother are misappropriated, Pepe causes a commotion at a military event held near his cell, and is ordered to see a psychiatrist. She promises to raise awareness of his condition. In 1980, the government is defeated in a referendum to amend the constitution to provide the military with a leading role.
In 1983, the hostages are returned to another prison, and Rosencof meets sergeant Alzamora, now a chief guard. Alzamora reveals that he is now married and expresses gratitude to Rosencof, allowing the three men a greater degree of freedom under his custody. In 1985, the military releases the three men amongst other political prisoners in a general amnesty, and they reunite with their families.
Fred Fitzell and his wife Karen visit Fred's mother in a hospital where she is suffering from severe mental decline. Fred works in an office job but begins to get vivid flashbacks of high school. He remembers a girl named Cindy Williams and visits the high school and asks a librarian about her. The librarian tells Fred that Cindy went missing after a drug went around the school. Fred gets more flashbacks and is accosted by a scarred homeless man in his car while he is parked in an alley.
Fred begins to have memories of a child who walked past him in high school who looks like the homeless youth. Fred has disparate memories of the child and the homeless man in which they say a single word; when Fred pieces these words together, they combine to say "I'm/in/your/lobby." Fred visits his apartment lobby with a baseball bat and is surprised by the homeless man. Fred sees various visions of a mouth and of being on the floor looked at by Cindy and others. He awakens after having had a mental breakdown in the lobby.
Fred reconnects with his friends from high school and continues to have more flashbacks. He has memories of doing a drug called mercury (or merc) in his high school's boiler room and of visiting a club to get "uncut merc". Near the club, Fred and Cindy talk on a roof about how the drug releases people from being trapped. In the present, Fred is having difficulty at work and needs to deliver a presentation. With his high school friends, he visits the now-abandoned club in an attempt to find out what happened. At the club, Fred begins to have flashbacks of taking uncut merc in high school. He finds homeless squatters, including the scarred man from earlier, and he finds Cindy. They tell him he never left. Fred flashes back between the homeless man and the child, who back in high school took high amounts of merc. He also sees visions of the mouth and people looking over him.
Fred pieces together a series of words from memories of the homeless man and the child which tells him that there is an invasive lifeform that forces people to perceive time linearly (as a way to control them by seeing their outcomes as inescapable) and that the drug allows people to temporarily break free of this and see all temporal possibilities. Fred realizes that back in high school he had bad reaction to the merc and took a lamp and hit the child in the face, scarring his face. Fred wakes up in bed in the present day and realizes he has little time to finish the presentation for work. When he begins his presentation, he sees himself back in high school, where he is taking a final exam. He has a simultaneous breakdown in the past and present.
Realizing that he can travel through multiple timelines, Fred flashes back to Cindy at the abandoned club. The two fall in love and live many lives together and travel to many different places, such as the Middle East and a Mediterranean villa. Eventually the two wake up in the present day at the abandoned club. Fred realizes that he can no longer travel with Cindy and travels back to the final exam, on which he does well. He meets his wife after the exam and does well on the presentation at his office job, ultimately leading to he and his wife buying a house.
Fred finally reconnects with his mother at the hospital and realizes the vision of a mouth he keeps seeing is of his mother yelling at him as an infant when he almost fell down a staircase. His mother has a moment of lucidity and remembers who Fred is, and the two briefly connect. However, his mother dies shortly afterwards.
From outside the gates of their lush Remuera home, it would be easy to assume that the Lampton family have it all. There's Simon (Matt Minto), a respected obstetrician; Karen (Jodie Hillock), his beautiful, philanthropic wife; and Elke (Madeleine McCarthy) and Claire (Zoe Jansson Bush), their two bright teenage daughters. The home also holds enough room for Simon's less well-to-do older brother Ford (Dean O'Gorman) to stay with the family until he gets back on his feet. The Lamptons want for nothing, yet all is not as it seems in this upmarket suburb and, when neighbour Julia Stevens (Jackie Geurts) – a patient of Simon's - is found murdered in her own home, it sends shock waves through the community.
Worse still, as Detective Marie Da Silva (Madeleine Sami) gets her investigation underway, every clue seems to lead her back to the Lamptons – and in particular to Simon, who finds he may have been taking his privileged life for granted. What is Simon hiding? How have he and Ford been affected by their traumatic childhoods? And why has the enigmatic Roza Hallwright (Chelsie Preston Crayford), wife of soon-to-be next Prime Minister David Hallwright (Xavier Horan), taken such an interest in their troubled little family? As family secrets unravel and the Lampton's world begins to crumble, Detective DeSilva uncovers a web of lies spun by someone the Lamptons would never suspect.

In 1930s Texas, Eugene Evans lives with his family in a small town. The land is drought-stricken and dust storms plague the country. When Eugene is five his father abandons his family. Eugene lives his days stealing dime novels with his buddy Joe, fantasizing of another life. His mother remarried a lawman, George Evans, who does his best to act as a father figure to Eugene and his younger sister Phoebe.
One day a town meeting takes place and the sheriff shows a wanted poster for Allison Wells, who is wanted for $10,000 for bank robbing and murder. Eugene and Joe intend to search for her. George tells Eugene to take responsibility and look for work. Later, Eugene sneaks to the barn to read. He notices bandages and a woman pointing a revolver at him. Knowing her from the wanted poster, Eugene and Allison make a deal. He cleans her wounds and in return, Allison will tell him what happened.
To gain Eugene's trust Allison gives him the revolver. She explains when she was robbing a bank, the police took no issue firing into an innocent crowd and a stray bullet killed a young girl. Shocked by the death, Allison was shot in the leg before speeding off in a car. Alison tells Eugene that she will give him $20,000 if he helps her get a vehicle to Mexico. Eugene agrees.
Phoebe sees Eugene spying on Allison and asks him what he's looking at. He tells her there are dead dogs in the barn. She doesn't believe him and goes into the barn, as Allison hides in fear, but runs out after the barn door slams loudly. Eugene tells Joe that he's met someone offering them money for Joe's family's car. Joe denies the request.
Returning to the barn Eugene finds an anxious Allison who claims she's feeling cooped up and needs to get out of the area. Eugene takes her swimming at a local watering hole. Almost being caught by the property owner, the two take off naked back to the farm.
At the town dance, Eugene overhears George mentioning evidence against Allison at the police station. Stealing his stepfather's keys, Eugene breaks into the evidence room and discovers photographs of the crime scene. He discovers Alison had lied and failed to mention her accomplice, Perry, who killed people. While running from the police both were shot and Perry died. Eugene confronts Allison, claiming she lied to him.
George discovers a torn cloth from Allison’s dress and takes it to the sheriff as proof of her being in the area. The sheriff fires George, believing he gave Eugene the keys to gain evidence which Eugene burnt. George drives back to the farm. George confronts Eugene telling him they may lose their home.
Eugene and Allison leave town in the family truck. Allison believes Eugene came because he loves her and tells him she does not love him in return and intended to go alone. Eugene reminds her his father is in Mexico and this is his chance to find him. They stop at a hotel. Allison takes a shower and invites Eugene in, leading to them having sex.
The following morning, in need of money, they rob a bank. Eugene holds the customers hostage as Allison raids the tellers. One hostage takes advantage of a brief hesitation and takes aim at Allison. Eugene fires one shot into the man's head, killing him. They make their getaway.
Driving down the road, Eugene, wracked with guilt, insists they pull over. They do and Allison pleads with him to get back in the car while he walks away into the woods. George and a small posse are on their trail, with Eugene's sister Phoebe hidden in the back seat. Allison and Eugene both admit their wrongdoings to each other. Allison embraces him and tells him they can baptize themselves in the ocean and begin a new life together.
As they run back to the car George fires a shot, hitting Allison. As she lies dying, Eugene kneels with her. George tells his men to lay down their weapons as Eugene fires a shot into George's leg. George tells his men not to fire at Eugene. Phoebe yells at him to run. Eugene hurries to the truck and quickly speeds off. Phoebe, narrating the entire story, says the family never saw Eugene again, though she is keeping his legend alive.
On August 22, 2010, in rural Ohio, serial killer Edward Scarka is fatally shot during a police raid of his farmhouse. At the time of Edward's death, married couple Sarah and John give birth to their son, Miles, in Pennsylvania. Miles shows extreme wisdom and intelligence from a young age and begins speaking fluently before he is even a toddler.
When Miles turns eight in 2018, Sarah and John begin noticing behavioural changes in him. One night he plays a prank on his babysitter Zoe, seriously injuring her, but claims no memory of the incident. At school, he attacks a classmate with a wrench. Sarah takes Miles to psychiatrist Elaine Strasser and turns over a tape recording of him talking apparent gibberish in his sleep. Elaine gives the tape to a colleague, Arthur Jacobson, an expert on rebirth and reincarnation. Arthur reveals that the gibberish Miles spoke is, in fact, a rare dialect of Hungarian and that the words translate to "I'll cut your eyes out and watch you die, whore."
Sarah is unwilling to believe Arthur's assertion that an unsettled spirit wants control of the boy's body. At home, the family's dog goes missing, and John becomes infuriated when he finds that Miles has been recording the couple's bedroom with a baby monitor. John leaves to stay with his brother, leaving Sarah alone with Miles. Sarah later finds a swarm of flies in the house and discovers the family's dismembered dog in the basement. Miles apologizes, explaining that someone is invading his dreams every night and that he has to "make room."
Sarah takes Miles to see Arthur, who hypnotizes him in the hopes of engaging in past life regression, which will allow him to speak to the dark spirit in Miles' body. The regression is successful and the individual explains that his parents were Hungarian immigrants. The session goes awry when Miles threatens to accuse Arthur of drugging and molesting him, which prompts Arthur to end the session. Afterwards, Arthur finds "Scarka" carved into his leather couch from the boy's fingernails. He calls Sarah and explains that he believes Miles' body is being possessed by Edward Scarka, attempting to return to continue his killing spree.
Upon researching Edward, Sarah finds he died only minutes before Miles' birth and is startled to see that, like Miles, he had two different-coloured eyes. John and Sarah decide to have Miles committed, but Miles stabs John en route to the facility, causing him to crash; John goes into a coma as a result of the accident. In Miles' room, Sarah uncovers a cache of newspaper clippings about Edward's crimes, as well as a book by Margaret St. James, Edward's final victim, who escaped and led authorities to him.
Sarah realizes Edward is attempting to return to claim Margaret. She decides to kill Margaret herself, ending Edward's need for Miles' body. She drugs Miles with sleeping pills and the two drive to Margaret's rural farmhouse. Sarah poses as a battered woman who was touched by Margaret's book, persuading Margaret to allow her inside. She then draws a gun but is unable to bring herself to shoot. Miles enters and brutally attacks Margaret with a butcher knife, stabbing and disemboweling her. Sarah chases Miles outside to console him, believing Edward has left his body now that his final deed is complete. However, he reveals that Edward has taken full control, and Miles' soul has already been vanquished.
Horrified, Sarah attempts to shoot him, but before she can, a farmer shoots her with a rifle, killing her instantly. Sometime later, Miles is taken to live in a temporary foster home until John is discharged from the hospital. In his new bedroom, Miles stares into a mirror, which reflects the image of Edward.

The novel is set in a fictional English seaside town soon after the end of World War II. Several characters' points of view alternate in the narration. The story begins with the arrival of Bertram Hemingway, a retired naval officer and amateur painter who soon becomes acquainted with most of the other protagonists. These include Beth Cazabon, a novelist, her husband Robert, the town doctor, and Beth's best friend and next door neighbour Tory Foyle. Robert and Tory, a divorcée, are secretly in love with each other. The Cazabons have two daughters: a little girl named Stevie, and Prudence, who has finished school and is living at home. Prudence eventually learns of the relationship between her father and her mother's friend, but does not tell anyone. However, Tory and Robert know they have been discovered.
Other characters include Mrs. Bracey, a widowed invalid, and her two adult daughters. Mrs. Bracey spends her time watching the view from her window and speculating on the behaviour of the townspeople. She is a patient of Robert Cazabon and is visited by Bertram Hemingway, who enjoys listening to her gossip. When she develops pneumonia Bertram takes turns with her daughters sitting with her, and is present when she dies.
Bertram also briefly befriends Lily Wilson, a young war widow who owns a waxworks exhibition. He meets her at the pub where he is lodging and gets into the habit of walking her home in the evenings. Lonely and depressed, Lily is disappointed when his attention shifts to Tory Foyle, to whom he eventually proposes marriage. In order to end her affair with Robert, Tory decides to move to London and unexpectedly agrees to marry Bertram.

A miller sends his son away, calling him a good-for-nothing. The young man takes his fiddle along and leaves happily, without a specific destination. Soon two ladies in a carriage, who are interested in his music, take him along to their palace close to Vienna, where he gets a job as a gardener. He falls in love with the younger lady. Promoted to tax collector, he plants flowers in the garden of the tax house instead of potatoes, placing them regularly for his beloved. He plans to make money, but when he sees his beloved with an officer, he realizes that she is not available for him and leaves.
Further travel takes him to Italy, with adventures on the way and in Rome. Back at the palace, several mysteries about identities are revealed, and he can marry his beloved Aurelie, who is not a noble woman but an orphan. The couple are given a house with a garden and vineyards, and they plan a honeymoon in Italy, travelling again.
The married couple Jean and Danielle Duprey (Pierre Brice and Patrizia Viotti) receive a letter from a prince (Mario Carra), an old friend of Jean's. The letter is in the form of a riddle, which references ''Les Fleurs du mal'' by Charles Baudelaire, which the prince gave him years ago. The Dupreys decide to leave and go to the prince's castle where Rita Lernod (Angela De Leo), the prince's wife, tells them that her husband is very ill. The prince appears to be afflicted with a disease unfamiliar to his doctors. The prince says that the disease affects everyone in his family for three generations, over thirty-five years of age. The couple finds a strange painting featuring someone dying at the stake, disturbing Danielle.
Danielle begins to have nightmares about dying at the stake. The prince tells Jean that the truth behind everything is in the library and gives him a ring. At night, the prince dies and the next day a girl is found dead, with large scratches on her chest. The police identifies her as a cousin of the prince, who had been seen the night before in Strasbourg, hundreds of miles from there. The following night, Jean finds a book in the library about black magic, which references the amethyst, like the ring the prince had given him. The book states that it is the most effective remedy against witches. Another death occurs in similar fashion to the girl, with the police identifying her as the sister of the first victim. Jean finds a card in the library, which is a copy of a public act of a sorcery process of 1650, against a certain Tarin Drole. Jean discovers that this is an anagram for Rita Lernod. In the deed, it is written that the President of the Tribunal was an ancestor of the prince. Jean begins to explore the castle further while Rita takes Danielle with her, giving her something to drink, but after Danielle sees a flame in her glass and runs off looking for Jean. The ghost of the prince and Danielle appears and is brought over to an altar to be sacrificed. Rita is about to slash her on the chest, when Jean throws a boulder on a part to stop it, making Rita grow old, revealing herself to be a witch and dies. Jean and Rita find themselves outside and hear the explosion of the castle. The two return home, when another letter arrives from another prince but this time Danielle burns it.
The book begins with Nate Wright and his friends Francis Pope and Teddy Ortiz attending PS.38’s Breakfast Book Club (or BBC for short). The librarian and book club monitor, Ms. Hickson, shows the kids a century-old journal she found in the school archives, which belonged to a girl named Edna Birkdale. While heading to homeroom, Nate is asked by Principal Nichols to be a “buddy” to a new student and introduce him to PS. 38. Nate is introduced to the student, who is named “Breckinridge Puffington III", whom Nate recognizes, but is still oblivious to the role he played in his life.
During Nate's tour of the school, they run into Randy Betancourt and his posse, who immediately pick on Breckenridge. When Nate goes to protect him, a ceiling tile suddenly falls on his head, prompting some teachers to rush over and Randy’s group to leave. Nate has to visit the school nurse, Ms. Albert, since the ceiling tile that hit his head is made out of hard Styrofoam. Ms. Albert explains that the school is falling apart over the years since it opened a century ago. She also explains that if the school was repaired, there would never be enough money to pay teachers.
During art class, Nate is surprised to learn that Breckenridge considers Nate his best friend, and he tells Francis and Teddy about his suspicious familiarity to him. He also learns of Breckenridge’s passion for drawing flowers and is weirded out by it.
During lunch, he tries to find Breckenridge some friends to hang out with to no avail. When he tries to get some time away from Breckenridge, he finds Ms. Hickson, who gives him a copy of Edna Birkdale’s journal to read. He is initially bored by it, but is excited to learn that she drew cartoons with punch lines like he does.
A few minutes later, just when he and Breckenridge enter gym class, Principal Nichols announces that a gas leak has occurred, and allows the students to have a surprise recess. Nate takes a break from Breckenridge to play football with his friends and a kid named Roderick, but is soon forced by Nichols to be with Breckenridge again, to his dismay.
Over the course of the week, being Breckenridge's buddy begins to exhaust Nate, who still feels like he remembers Breckenridge. The next day back at school, Nate and his friends learn from Nate's dramatic friend Dee Dee that PS. 38 is having a centennial, and it will have a large scavenger hunt. Nate shows Breckenridge the flyer for the celebration and scavenger hunt, and even though Breckenridge is initially uninterested, he decides to join Nate's team. Just as Nate is about to go to BBC, he thinks about leaving Breckenridge again, but a combination of guilt and Principal Nichols spying on him makes him change his mind. During the Breakfast Book Club meeting, everyone reads Edna Birkdale's journal (except for Breckenridge, who is reading a plant book as the journal wasn't appealing to him), with one note from the journal in particular standing out. It says there was a mural in the school's old south stairwell, which Ms. Hickson theorizes was destroyed over the years. Nate's nemesis Gina criticizes the meeting once it's over, calling comics "lame", with particularly strong criticism directed at Nate since he has a passion for them. Nate realizes that he himself was criticizing Breckenridge’s love for plants and criticizing him for loving it. With that, Nate starts to be more accepting of Breckenridge.
During social studies, Nate's teacher Ms. Godfrey finds Breckenridge's desk covered with drawings and graffiti and forces him and Nate to clean it up, oblivious that Randy Betancourt and his posse did it and framed Nate and Breckenridge. However, she doesn't give them detentions, allowing them to go to the Doodler's meeting after school. during the meeting, Breckenridge shows interest in a painting of flowers made by an artist named Granny Peppers. The gang also expresses curiousness for Granny Peppers' paintings, the fact being that one was sold for $2,000,000.
While on the way home, Nate and his gang try to think about how Granny Peppers got her nickname, culminating in Breckenridge recalling a nickname he had when he was younger - Bobby. At this, Nate immediately recognizes the name AND Breckenridge. As it turns out, when Nate was in preschool, a kid named Bobby used to pick on him. This "Bobby" person was none other than Breckenridge. Upon realizing as much, Nate snaps at Breckenridge and walks off.
When Nate gets home, he is visited by Dee Dee, who wants to know what just happened. As Nate explains everything, Dee Dee asks Nate to forgive Breckenridge. When he is unsure, Dee Dee invites Breckenridge into Nate's room. Nate tells Breckenridge that the reason he didn't connect with him was the fact that they have little in common, but befriends him after Dee Dee points out that she likes cats, figure skating, and egg salad, things Nate despises very much, yet he's still friends with her.
Now officially considering Breckenridge a friend, Nate includes him in his scavenger hunt team. During the day of the centennial, 5 teams, including Nate's and Gina's, are in instructed to find 12 items relating to the school's history. The first item on Nate's list is a desk with an inkwell, which they find in the English room due to Breckenridge recognizing a spider plant in one of the desks. Eventually, they make to their 12th and final item- something that will improve PS. 38.
They search the school's storage room for something, but find nothing until Breckenridge finds a wall with flowers painted over. Teddy brushes it off as graffiti, but Nate realizes that the flowers might be part of the mural described by Edna Birkdale, as the storage room could be in place of the former south stairwell from the school's original design. To make things even more astounding, Breckenridge deduces that it was painted by Granny Peppers, since the flowers were painted the same as the painting in the Art room. With this information, Nate rushes to find Principal Nichols and finds him just as Gina's team does. Gina's team presents a suggestion box, while Nate says he couldn't bring it with him. Gina's team thinks this is an excuse and taunt Nate for not having anything to present, but Nate asks Principal Nichols to follow him to witness the mural in the story.
Breckenridge's theory ends up correct, with Nate, Principal Nichols, and the rest of the gang live on TV, interviewed on how they found the long-lost mural. After interviewing Breckenridge, the reporter asks Nichols what made the mural's discovery so significant. Nichols then reveals that the mural was Granny Pepper's only mural. Due to its significance and rarity, PS. 38 is donating it to a museum, who will be offering money to restore the PS.38 building. The gang go to see the mural, which is exactly how Edna said it was 100 years ago. And thus, because of Breckenridge, Nate's team won the scavenger hunt, with the prize revealed to be a hot air balloon ride. However, Breckenridge declines the ride because he suffers from acrophobia and Nate accepts this declaring that Breckenridge has “got friends in high places".

In 1986 Scotland, Angela and Jackson are American siblings who, with a small team of paranormal investigators, run a fake medium scam on clients who believe their houses are haunted. The team uses the reputation of the siblings' late mother to promote Angela's powers as a medium. Jackson orchestrates the scams because of a debt he owes to loan sharks.
During their latest assignment, strange incidents occur, causing Angela to worry about the parallels to her mother, who heard voices and wound up committing suicide because she saw people who weren't there. A new client, Mrs. Greene, requests they come to stop the girls' "screaming." Angela is too disturbed and shaken from their last assignment so she turns down the request; she looks into the history of the caller's house and discovers that the owner’s foster children were all found dead with their mouths sewn shut 15 years prior, and her son was blamed.

In Barcelona, 1921, tension is high between the police and local anarchists. A military train has been robbed and its cargo stolen. The police try to find those responsible and receive support from agent Aníbal Uriarte, who was sent from Madrid. The detectives resort to brutal methods, including murder. They interrogate the train driver and whom they suspect is part of the robbery before murdering him.
Meanwhile, the center of the city hosts many protests against the unfair treatment of workers and women that are forcibly repressed by the police. A dodgy bar owner seems to be involved in the criminal business. It is revealed that the corrupt police are on his payroll. In broad daylight, an attack on them is committed that ends up being somewhat good for them.
The trail leads Uriarte to a group of radical anarchists who start the war on police brutality and cause panic and chaos in the city. Between the mafia and the unions – represented by the certain Salvador Ortiz and his feminist daughter Sara – the agent tries to find a compromise and to prevent a possible premeditated coup – and further massacres – by the military, before a civil war breaks out.
Herschel Greenbaum and wife, Sarah, are struggling Jewish laborers from Eastern Europe. They emigrate from their shtetl to America in 1919, after their village is rampaged by Russian Cossacks. He finds a job at a pickle factory and saves up for two graves at a Jewish cemetery. One day, while working, he falls into a vat of pickles just as the factory is closed for health reasons, leaving Herschel brined for 100 years.
Waking up in Brooklyn in 2019, Herschel discovers that his only living relative is his great-grandson Ben. Ben works as a freelance app developer and is currently developing an app "Boop Bop", a service that checks companies' ethics when buying their products. Ben reluctantly agrees to go with Herschel to the cemetery where Sarah and his son along with Ben's parents are buried. Herschel is disgusted to find the cemetery is in shambles with a Russian vodka billboard overlooking it. This causes him to assault construction workers putting up the billboard, leading to his and Ben's arrest.
Ben bails them out of jail; however, he finds that he can't get investors for his app due to his new criminal record, so he disowns Herschel. Herschel decides to begin a pickle business to buy and take down the billboard overlooking the cemetery. Herschel is a huge success over social media. However, Ben tells health inspectors that Herschel has been using produce found in the trash bins, causing him to be fined $12,000. Herschel is able to come back from this with the assistance of unpaid interns, causing his business to become even more popular and allowing him to refurbish the cemetery and remove the billboard. Herschel's success leads to Ben envying him even more.
Ben then tells Herschel to download Twitter, and he begins tweeting controversial statements. While initially met with protests and boycotts, Herschel is then seen as an icon of free speech and empowerment. While Herschel is hosting a friendly debate, Ben shows up and questions his thoughts on Christianity. This leads to a rant, causing the public to despise him. The government attempts to deport him after his immigration files can not be located.
Herschel arrives at Ben's, and Ben reluctantly agrees to help him get to the Canadian border. Through this, Ben and Herschel begin to reconcile their relationship. However, Ben admits that he tried to sabotage Herschel's business, causing Herschel to admit that he is disappointed that Ben is more committed to his app than his family's legacy, leading to a physical fight between them. Herschel steals Ben's backpack, and uses his razor to shave and puts on his clothes to pose as Ben, alerting the police that the real Ben is Herschel. This causes the real Ben's arrest and deportation.
In Ben's apartment, Herschel discovers that the app's name, "Boop Bop", was actually the nickname Ben gave his late parents, leading Herschel to realize that family was always in Ben's heart. He returns to his home country to find Ben, who is staying at a local synagogue. They reconcile, and some time later return to Brooklyn, hoping to develop a pickle-selling website.

Eighteen months have passed since Rick defeated Negan. The communities of Alexandria, the Hilltop, the Kingdom, Oceanside, and the Sanctuary have rebuilt what they can to make more viable societies. Rick and Michonne are raising Judith and overseeing Alexandria. Maggie has given birth to her and Glenn's child, which she named for her father Hershel. She has defeated Gregory in an election to be leader of the Hilltop, but is still distressed about Rick's decision to keep Negan alive. Carol and Ezekiel at the Kingdom have grown as a couple. Daryl and Eugene oversee the remaining Saviors at the Sanctuary, where infertile ground makes it difficult to grow anything.
Rick leads a group up into the remains of Washington, D.C. to salvage pioneering supplies, such as plows, canoes, seed samples, and a covered wagon from a museum. This is made difficult by the need to cross over a floor made of weakened glass, under which a horde of walkers have amassed. Ezekiel falls through on the last crossing, but they have tied themselves together with ropes to catch each other, and Carol and others quickly rescue him. They head back to the communities with their haul.
They find a recent rainstorm has raised water levels in a river and destroyed one of the bridges towards the Hilltop. While Rick suggests they can get to Alexandria and wait out the water levels, Maggie wants to get back to her child at the Hilltop, and lets Rick's group take the supplies to Alexandria. Rick's group continues on but the wagon gets stuck in a muddy part of the road. As walkers bear down on them, they decide to abandon the supplies and come back for them later. Ken goes back to cut loose the horses, but ends up bitten by a walker. Despite them amputating his arm and immediate medical care, he still dies. Some time later, Maggie talks to Tammy and Earl Rose, Ken's parents, who are angry their son died for nothing of value since the supplies will ultimately go to the Saviors at the Sanctuary. They hold a funeral for Ken overseen by Gregory. Later, Gregory talks to Earl over a shot of whiskey, suggesting that the election was illegitimate and that others, like himself, are angry.
Rick, Daryl, and Michonne bring the recovered supplies to the Sanctuary. Daryl sees graffiti on the walls still proclaiming loyalty to Negan. Daryl talks with Rick about no longer wanting to be the one in charge of the Sanctuary, and prefers the old way of being in smaller groups with people he can trust. Carol talks to Daryl alone, and offers to take over the Sanctuary for him, as she is somewhat concerned that Ezekiel has indicated he wants to marry her. Michonne, after seeing Negan's name at the wall at the Sanctuary and inspired by a display at the museum, suggests to Rick that they establish a charter between the communities to act as a new code of laws.
At the Hilltop, Maggie is walking Hershel to sleep when Gregory tells her someone has defaced Glenn's grave. She goes there but is assaulted by a hooded man. Enid and others come to her rescue, revealing the man to be Earl. Maggie accosts Gregory, who does not deny his act, and taunts her that she will refuse to run off to Alexandria for help because Negan is being held prisoner there. Gregory attempts to kill Maggie but she overpowers him. The next day, Rick and Michonne come to visit the Hilltop, and Rick tries to get Maggie to agree to give supplies to the Sanctuary and help with repairing the bridge. She asserts that she will only provide supplies if the Sanctuary supply half the workforce for the work on the bridge. Maggie tells Rick that she's no longer following his way. Before they leave, Maggie has Gregory hanged while Rick and Michonne look on in horror.
Rick speaks to an unseen individual about the status of the communities over the past month as they work to rebuild the washed-out bridge. Earlier that day, Rick oversees the makeshift camp where most of his close allies help to watch over the Saviors as they labor in rebuilding the bridge. Eugene keeps him up to date on progress, noting that they have not been able to account for a half-dozen Savior walk-offs, and that they plan to detonate a roadblock later that day and their plans to route a nearby walker horde away using sirens. Rick sees Siddiq has trained Enid in basic field medic work, and has Siddiq return to the safety of the communities. Carol and Ezekiel discuss their relationship, and Anne and Fr. Gabriel start to recognize a bond between them.
During work, as Henry is passing out water, Justin, a Savior, tries to take more than his share and pushes Henry. Daryl rushes in to subdue Justin before Rick can assert his control on the group. Rick and Daryl realize the Saviors are starting to get out of hand, due to Rick's hurry to finish the bridge and the lack of food. Later, they set off the dynamite, and track the nearby walker horde as it diverts towards the first siren. However, when the second siren, manned by Justin, fails to sound, Rick realizes the group of men at a logging site nearby are in trouble. There, Daryl sees the horde and orders everyone to flee, but in the haste, Aaron's arm is crushed under a giant log. Rick and the others arrive to help defend them, allowing Daryl to rush Aaron to the medical tent. Enid is flummoxed at the injury and determines the only action they can take is to amputate Aaron's arm. The surgery is successful, but Daryl takes full blame for Aaron's loss. Daryl chastises Justin for failing to sound the alarm. Justin claims their radio equipment failed, but when Daryl refuses to accept this excuse, he walks off.
Michonne goes to the Hilltop to speak to Maggie. Michonne knows that the Hilltop was waiting for a supply of ethanol being produced at the Sanctuary, which they would exchange for food to provide to the Saviors, but the supply has gone missing; Michonne requests Maggie provide the food on trust that they will get the ethanol. Maggie refuses, pointing out that they have no fuel for their tractor, and with Earl, their blacksmith, being held in custody, they cannot repair the plow they took from the museum, and thus must conserve their food supply. Michonne urges Maggie to reconsider, but Maggie remains steadfast that Earl must be punished. Maggie does allow Tammy to see Earl under her watch, and learns that Earl's actions were a result of Gregory giving him his first drink of alcohol in years. After some time, Maggie relents; she allows Earl to return to his blacksmith work under guard, and agrees to provide the food to Michonne, as well as being open to discuss a code of laws between the communities, as long as she retains some authority at Hilltop.
That night, Rick's conversation continues, revealed to be with Negan, who is held in a cell within Alexandria. Negan cares little for how Rick is rebuilding the communities, believing that Rick is just helping to repair the world for him. Anne keeps watch at night and spots a helicopter flying overhead. Justin, walking alone back to Sanctuary, appears to see someone he recognizes before the figure jumps and attacks him.
Construction on the bridge continues. As she promised to Michonne, Maggie brings a wagon load of supplies from the Hilltop to the Sanctuary when she is stopped by a group of Saviors who are looking for their missing member, Justin. Some of the Saviors taunt Maggie by calling her "the Widow", the name Negan had used demeaningly, but Arat and Laura, two of the lead Saviors, quickly put a stop to it. As they discuss this, the re-animated body of Justin appears from the woods. After they put it down, it is clear that Justin had died by human hands before reanimating.
As word of Justin's murder spreads, tempers start to flare at the construction camp between the Saviors and the other groups. Rick arrives in time to stop any immediate violence and promises the Saviors they will investigate. Rick starts talking to his own people to see if they saw anything. Fr. Gabriel, who was to be on watch with Anne but had secretly stepped away, reports seeing nothing. Daryl is somewhat affronted when Rick suggests he might have killed Justin. Gabriel speaks to Anne later, but she affirms she saw nothing, omitting the fact that she had seen a helicopter pass over. She expresses concern that she feels she is distrusted by the Saviors, having been called "the Garbage Lady" and being accused by many of killing Justin.
Rick decides to pair off several teams to look for clues in the area for Justin's killer. One team includes Maggie and Cyndie, who find walkers being drawn towards a house where a piece of sheet metal hangs off its roof, making noise. As they approach the house to clear it out and stop the noise, Cyndie explains this is where some of her Oceanside members used to live before Simon and the Saviors came and killed all their men. Maggie and Cyndie work to clear the house but are nearly overwhelmed when a group of walkers breaks through the door; Rick and other pairs arrive and dispatch the walkers just in time. They find one team, Arat and Beatrice, that should have been closer to help not present, and out of radio contact. They go looking for the two, and eventually find Beatrice knocked unconscious, while Arat's things have been left on the ground nearby.
Regrouping at camp, Rick and his most trusted allies decide to break off and search again, but without any Savior help, in case they are at fault. Rick and Carol go off as one group, and they run into some of the Saviors led by Jed. Jed holds Carol under a knife, demanding Rick drop his weapon so they can safely return to Sanctuary, but Carol manages to overpower Jed and stab him in the shoulder. Daryl and Maggie find a few walker bodies, one with a harpoon through it, and follow them back to a recover center building where several Oceanside members, including Cyndie and Beatrice, are holding Arat. Cyndie reveals they have been the ones behind some of the Savior deaths, getting back at those that had murdered their husbands, sons, and brothers. She justifies their actions by recalling Maggie's decision to hang Gregory, and explains that Arat was responsible for Cyndie's brother's death. Cyndie remembers what Arat had said in response to her begging for her brother's life: "No exceptions". After hearing this, Maggie and Daryl turn away, while Cyndie executes Arat.
Anne returns to the Scavengers' junk yard. She locates a hidden cache and recovers a radio with which she makes a call requesting a pickup by helicopter. The male voice on the other end asks if she has an "A" or a "B", but she has neither. The man tells her to be ready the next day but only if she has an "A". As the call ends, Anne sees that Gabriel had followed her there and overheard the call. Gabriel deduces that Anne had previously traded people to this unknown agent for supplies, and had planned to do that with both Rick and him earlier. Anne suggests that if he helps her, he could also possibly join them. Gabriel refuses and plans to tell Rick, but Anne stops him. She tells him she once thought of him as a "B" but he might be the "A" she needs.
The next day, the bulk of the Saviors leave the construction camp to return to Sanctuary. Maggie and Daryl walk along a different path; Maggie tells Daryl they tried Rick's way, and it failed to work, so now they need to take another direction, and it is time to meet Negan.
In Alexandria, Michonne oversees the community, raising Judith, and writing her proposed code of laws for the communities, but at night, ventures out to fend off walkers. During one event, she loses her katana briefly, and finds the closest weapon at hand to defend herself, a baseball bat. This causes her to start considering Negan, held within a cell inside Alexandria. She goes to see him after learning he is on a hunger strike. The two talk about their past, Negan having lost his wife Lucille, and Michonne having lost her own son Andre. When Negan asks what happened to his baseball bat, "Lucille", Michonne asserts it's still out there somewhere, causing Negan to fall into anguish.
At the Scavengers' junkyard, Anne has secured Gabriel and threatens to let loose an armless walker on him. Gabriel tries to convince her to let him go, apologizing for his own past mistakes. Anne cannot bring herself to kill him, and instead knocks him out. When Gabriel awakes he finds himself alone in the junkyard, a note from Anne in his coat explaining that she has left for places unknown.
Maggie, Daryl, and the Oceanside group conspire to assassinate Negan. They know Rick will not let Maggie into Alexandria as she has made her intentions clear, and start to work out a plan to bring Maggie into Alexandria without Rick's knowledge. Jesus, who is hesitant about this course of action, covertly contacts Rick to warn him. Rick is overseeing the takedown of the bridge-construction camp, as without the Saviors, it is unlikely they will be able to finish the bridge in time before rising waters wash it away. Eugene warns Rick of two large hordes seen in the area, but both are moving divergent to their routes. Rick gets Jesus' word, and decides to head to Alexandria. He contacts one of the Alexandria watch points to tell them to be on the lookout for Maggie, unaware that the watch point is a member of Oceanside and complicit in Maggie's plan.
When Rick prepares to go by horseback, Daryl offers to drive him there instead via motorcycle. Rick becomes concerned when Daryl purposely misses the turnoff for Alexandria. He demands Daryl stop the bike, and the two get into a fistfight. Both end up falling into a deep pit off the road that they cannot easily climb out of. They realize their conflict, with Daryl reminding how many people have helped him and how some of his decisions have come to hurt those and others, like Glenn. The two agree to work together to escape the pit.
At the construction camp, the remaining survivors are preparing to move out when a group of Saviors, led by Jed, hold them at gunpoint. He demands the group turn over weapons for the Saviors to protect themselves, since they know Oceanside has been killing off the other Saviors. Carol lowers her weapon, but when Jed approaches her, the Oceanside survivors intervene. A firefight breaks out, Rick and Daryl hear the sounds of gunfire and rush to escape. Just as they start clearing the edge, walkers from one of the approaching hordes, drawn by the sound of gunfire, start falling into the pit, but both still manage to get out alive. Rick sees a loose horse nearby and offers to lead the walker horde away from the camp while Daryl drives off to warn them. Rick, on horseback, leads the horde along but is surprised when the other horde that Eugene warned him of is converging on the same point. The horse becomes frightened by the two hordes and rears, knocking Rick off its back. Rick lands hard on a concrete block and finds a piece of rebar has impaled his side, and is unable to move. Rick loses consciousness as the two hordes converge on him.
Rick manages to free himself off the rebar he had been impaled on after being thrown off by his spooked horse, but is bleeding profusely. He makes it back to his horse, barely holding onto consciousness to lead the merged walker hordes away from the construction camp. Getting enough of a lead, he finds an abandoned cabin nearby to create makeshift bandages, before leading the hordes onwards. Throughout this, Rick falls in and out of consciousness and has lucid dreams of him trying to find his family, which includes conversations with Shane and Hershel, both of whom urge him to wake back up to reality and stay ahead of the horde. In another vision, he walks onto a field filled with the bodies of all his friends, where he speaks to Sasha, who reminds him that all that he has done has been for the good of all. Sasha tells him that he will find his family, as they are not lost.
Anne is trying to make her way to a planned rendezvous point in Heath's stolen RV, and is told by the man on the other end of the walkie-talkie that she had misled them before. She assures them she has the "A" they need and needs to get out of this place. Maggie continues onto Alexandria; Michonne hears of this and intercepts her before she reaches the cage where Negan is being kept. Maggie is able to convince Michonne to hand over the keys, telling her she will be able to live with this decision. Negan taunts Maggie over his enjoyment of killing Glenn, but Maggie remains steadfast. Negan soon starts begging her to kill him. Thinking it another trick, Maggie pulls Negan out of the cell into the light (wanting to see his face as she kills him), seeing that he has become a weak, desperate man, who begs to be killed to be with his wife. Maggie puts him back in his cell, walking out satisfied with a better understanding of why Rick kept him alive. They then hear word of trouble outside, and race to see what is happening with other residents.
Rick wakes from his last lucid dream with Sasha to find himself at the now-abandoned camp, with the horse having fled. With walkers - including zombified Saviors and community members from the clash at the camp - closing in on him, Rick keeps on leading them towards the bridge. He stumbles just short of the bridge, but as the walkers near him, Michonne leads a large group of his allies to dispatch the walkers. Michonne urges Rick to keep on fighting, and Rick comes to realize that Michonne and his friends are now his family. He realizes this is just another vision; he finds himself alone just off the bridge with the horde still following him. He gets back up and continues to lead the walkers across the bridge as the river waters rise. To Rick's dismay, the weight of the walkers is not sufficient to cause the bridge to fall. A group from the united communities – including Saviors – arrive and begin killing off the walkers near Rick. Maggie worries that if the walkers cross, they will continue onto Hilltop, and leads a group to try to turn the horde around, but Rick waves them off, muttering to himself that he found his family. Rick sees some of the dynamite left on the bridge, and fires at it, destroying the bridge and most of the walker horde, causing the remaining to fall into the river. To his allies, Rick appears to have been lost in the explosion, and several break out in tears and grief at his loss.
Anne sees the smoke from the explosion and chatter over the walkie-talkies about Rick's action while a helicopter lands nearby. She sees Rick on the bank of the river, still alive but severely injured. She tells the pilot that she has a "B", and convinces the helicopter to rescue Rick. She and Rick are airlifted away to places unknown.
Six years later, a small group of survivors, Magna, Connie, Kelly, Yumiko, and Luke are trying to hold off a walker horde when a few are shot from a forest nearby. The group is told to take cover, and find that they have been rescued by a now-preteen Judith Grimes who wears Carl's hat and is armed with Rick's revolver and a katana like Michonne.
At the Hilltop, Tara goes over the day's activities with Jesus, revealing that Maggie decided to leave with her child Hershel and joined Georgie's group, leaving Jesus in charge of Hilltop. They further discuss the situation between the Hilltop and Alexandria, the two communities having refused to work together due to past events. Later, Jesus sneaks out of Hilltop and meets with Aaron, where they practice close-quarters combat and discuss in private how they can help restore the trust between their two communities. Suddenly, they see a flare go off nearby, and find a wounded Rosita needing their help. They race her back to the Hilltop for medical attention.
Michonne, with Siddiq and DJ, take Magna's group back to their former camp, finding the shipping container they used for shelter had been upended, seemingly by a large herd. Luke, a former music teacher, recovers a supply of musical instruments he has collected and had stashed there. Michonne states that this will be as far as she goes and prepares to return to Alexandria, but Magna convinces her she needs to stay with them to argue their case to Maggie. They find shelter for the evening. During the night, Luke scavenges from junk in the building, alerting Michonne, and when he emerges with an object, she slashes it in two. He reveals that the object was a rare Stradivarius violin, one he had found earlier in their group's travels and states that he believes that by bringing art and music back, they will be able to overcome the walkers. They prepare to set out the next morning, but a walker horde has surrounded the building. The group efficiently dispatches the walkers until they see one they recognize as Bernie, a former member of Magna's group. Michonne dispatches Bernie with some degree of respect before they set out. As they near Hilltop, Michonne again states her intention to return to Alexandria, but Siddiq reveals that Maggie has long departed there. Two riders from the Hilltop come by, on their way to Alexandria to inform them about Rosita, but since they are here, the group, including Michonne, prepare to continue to Hilltop. Connie thinks she sees something in the woods, but later says it was nothing. However, unseen by the convoy, someone is spying on them as they depart.
Daryl leads Carol and Henry to his camp, and introduces them to his dog, named Dog. Carol fears for Daryl's health as he has not eaten much, but Daryl has become accustomed to that, and in his course of searching for Rick Grimes' body, has gotten used to living on his own. That night, as Daryl takes Dog to check his traps, they are followed by Henry. Dog gets stuck in one of the traps, and while Daryl frees it, they are overwhelmed by walkers. Henry steps in to help dispatch them. When they return to camp, Henry explains that he's learned that it is better to look at the big picture of everyone's survival than just one person. The three continue on to Hilltop. There, they learn of Rosita's injury, and that Eugene is still out there. Aaron, Daryl and Jesus head out in search of Eugene.
Daryl, Jesus, and Aaron follow a missing Eugene's tracks. They observe a herd of walkers milling around in the middle of a field and talk about how unusual it is of the walkers to be doing this, and decide to walk around it. As they depart, an odd looking walker watches them from the herd.
Michonne, Siddiq, and DJ lead Magna's group to the Hilltop, though they are met with clear hostility. Tara explains that Eugene's still missing and that Aaron is out with Jesus searching for him. Michonne and Siddiq help to introduce Magna's group to the Hilltop residents, as well as Carol. Michonne and Carol have a private conversation, revealing that there is a lot of "broken world" between Alexandria, the Hilltop, and the Kingdom, making it difficult to continue their past friendship, or for Alexandria to participate in an upcoming fair. Henry gets settled into the Hilltop as apprentice to blacksmith Earl, as Carol returns to the Kingdom, but discovers that Enid, his crush, is in a relationship with Alden. Depressed, Henry meets with a group of teenagers, who invite him to join them that evening for some debauchery at a secret shelter outside the gates. After drinking moonshine whiskey heavily, they show him a walker that they have been using as a plaything, but Henry quickly dispatches it and the rest of the group abandons him. When he returns on his own, Tara and Earl put him in a cell for drunken disobedience. Though Earl considers sending Henry back to the Kingdom, he becomes sympathetic to Henry due to his own drunken mistakes and promises to speak to Jesus on his behalf.
At Alexandria, Gabriel sits with Negan, trying to comfort him, but Negan continues to antagonize his efforts. Later, the riders from the Hilltop arrive with news that Rosita was injured and has been taken to the Hilltop. When Gabriel next sees Negan, he goes off on Negan's behavior, telling him that he is forced to stay to watch over Negan instead of seeing to Rosita, earning Negan's genuine sympathy; Gabriel brushes it off. That night, Negan discovers that the door to his cell was left unlocked and exits it. At the Hilltop, Rosita wakes and immediately warns Michonne and Tara of the threat she and Eugene discovered, and that Daryl's group is not safe.
Daryl's group lures the herd away and goes to a barn that was near Rosita's location, where they find Eugene hidden under its floor. Eugene explains to them that Rosita stashed him there due to his knee injury and warns them that the herd outside is unusual, having heard them speaking before and that they have come through twice before looking for him. He suggests the possibility that the walkers may have evolved into more intelligent foes. The group quickly find that the herd is approaching the barn and evacuate. Daryl offers to lead the herd away while the others take Eugene back to the Hilltop. However, despite creating a distraction with fireworks and Dog's barking, the herd continues on following the others. Aaron, Eugene, and Jesus eventually get trapped into a walled cemetery, and as they take out the front line of walkers, Michonne arrives with others from the Hilltop to help rescue them, but Jesus decides to stay back to cover the others. Jesus dispatches several walkers, but one of them ducks his blade, grabs and fatally stabs him, warning him that they are where they "do not belong." Suddenly, Daryl arrives and takes out the walker while the group clears the rest. As Aaron mourns over Jesus' body, Daryl examines the walker that killed Jesus, revealing it was a living human wearing a mask made out of a walker's skin. Before they can process the situation, whispers around them get louder; the group circles up preparing for a fight.

Michael Langdon realizes Ariel Augustus, Baldwin Pennypacker, and Miriam Mead have been executed. He is then confronted by Cordelia Goode, who tells him that she has prevented Michael from resurrecting Mead, but also insists that Michael still has capacity for good. Michael dismisses her, threatening to kill every witch. Wandering into a forest, the distressed Michael draws a pentagram on the ground with a rock. Pleading to his Father for guidance, he threatens to remain in the forest until he has received a message. Four days pass; a weak and starving Michael sees visions of a cherubic little girl offering him an apple and a beautiful young man with angel's wings, who tells him that God loves him. It is ambiguous as to whether these are angelic messengers or hallucinations. Eventually Michael is confronted by a black goat. Asking if the animal is his father, Michael stabs the goat to death, and a snake emerges from its severed head.
Weakened, Michael stumbles across a Satanic church. The High Priestess, Hannah, berates her fellow worshippers for their relatively unimpressive feats of sin, believing that the world must become significantly wicked in order to encourage the arrival of the Antichrist. A member of the congregation, Madelyn, takes pity on Michael, observing that he is undernourished and lost. After Church she takes him home with her to recover.
At Madelyn's home, Madelyn claims to have everything she wants because she sold her soul to Satan. Michael mocks her for her views and she attempts to kill him until he presents the mark of the beast on the back of his neck, proving himself as the Antichrist. Back at the church, Hannah presents two people for sacrifice when Madelyn interrupts and presents Michael, who confirms his identity and is hailed by the congregation. Michael proceeds to kill the two people offered up for sacrifice.
The congregation hosts a dinner for Michael, who admits that he has no plan for bringing about the apocalypse. Madelyn offers her services to him, but Michael tells her he only desires Mead's resurrection. Madelyn takes Michael to a robotics company run by two cocaine-addicted Satanists, Jeff and Mutt. Wilhemina Venable is revealed to be Jeff and Mutt's PA. Michael is mocked by Jeff and Mutt for being unintimidating, until he uses his powers to immolate a prostitute. Jeff and Mutt pledge themselves to Michael, who presents them with the task of recreating Mead. Mead's android replica is presented to Michael; she wakes and immediately recognizes Michael.

In 2018, a supertanker, ''Laurel 11'' (based on the real-life ''Bunga Laurel''), was hijacked by Somali pirates at the Gulf of Aden one night. The Royal Malaysian Navy picks up the distress call and , which was bound for home after a long operation at sea, comes to aid. The pirate's refusal to negotiate prompted Commander Maznan to deploy the Navy's elite special operations unit, PASKAL, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Arman Rahmat. Two boats and a Lynx were deployed for the mission. Their swift and stealthy tactics ensured the eventual success of the operation with the pirates subdued and captured.
The team returns to Lumut with Arman thinking on whether to retire or not. His mother's apparent distaste with his dangerous job and the painful memory of his past had prompted him to do so. Back in 2009 when he was a sub-lieutenant, Arman had undergone training with a late friend, Joshua Tee Seng Wai (Girang), and Mohd Zariff bin Zafrudin (Jeb). His motivation to join PASKAL was to honour his father's sacrifice. The three of them were among the best in the unit and were selected to undergo advanced training course with the US Navy SEALs. However, during a peacekeeping operation in Angola two years later, Jeb accidentally killed Joshua in a confrontation with a rebel group while transporting a Chinese UN Observer. Wounded, he was dishonourably discharged after he brutally executed a prisoner with a sidearm. Arman told Joshua's wife, Lily about the incident and Joshua was given a military funeral.
Arman continues to take care of Joshua's wife and only son, who had also developed a close bond with his mother. Despite handling his request to retire, Commander Maznan enlists him on a reconnaissance mission in Kota Kinabalu as a "farewell party". He and his team are assigned to capture a pirate leader named Rudi Rusli Parjo, who was involved in the hijacking of . However, the plan was foiled after Arman discovered Jeb at a food court with Rudi. It was learned that Rudi, through his successful raids, has been hiring ex-special forces members to his ranks, and Jeb was recruited as his bodyguard.
Jeb's jealousy over Arman's achievements and the apparent dislike with the Navy's system brings him at odds with Arman since training day and it only got worse when Jeb starts to stalk Lily, warning Arman to stay away. CCTV footage of Jeb's car showing a logo belonging to an oil rig company where Lily works alerted Arman to a possible hijacking plot. He alerts the Navy, who in turn alerted port authorities to lock down the area. The fake security personnel team was captured by authorities, but Jeb and Rudi managed to evade capture. They eventually seized the oil rig, with Lily being one of the hostages.
Arman's team were recalled from leave and transported to the rendezvous point at sea via a RMAF C-130 before being picked up by the . Two additional teams were deployed as back-up to a forward operating base aboard . After a change of plans, they dived towards the oil rig and secured the top to make way for reinforcements. As they fought past various traps and ambushes, Arman encounters Jeb with Lily bound to C-4 explosives. Jeb threatens to blow up the entire oil rig if Arman does not put his gun down. Arman complies, but Jeb threatens to kill Arman with a knife, challenging him to see who is the better PASKAL. After a fight, Arman managed to subdue Jeb and pushes him off the deck, still grabbed onto Jeb's hand. Refusing to be captured and accept that Arman had won, Jeb says that he's still the best and shoots Arman with his pistol. However, the bullet only scratches Arman's face. Arman was forced to let go and Jeb fell into the sea to his death. Rudi and another pirate attempt to escape by crossing the Filipino waters by boat but was pursued by a Navy vessel. Just before they can cross, they were shot dead. The boat eventually crossed the Filipino waters with their lifeless bodies on board.
With all the hostages rescued and brought to shore, Arman's mother, finally understanding her son's sacrifice, acknowledges him and apologises, saying that his father would be proud if he was alive. Arman and his team were awarded honours by the fleet commander. At one point, he laments about not knowing the full names of the members who he served with, in which chief petty officer Misi replies "How many kingdoms know nothing of us?", referencing the philosopher Blaise Pascal in his book Pensées. As the Fleet Commander brings Arman to a memorial site where his father's name was inscribed, he reveals that Arman's father once served under him and told that his father's duty was a calling from God, in which it will be a sin if there's no one willing to do it.

In 2010, Ethiopian Jewish miners retrieve a rare black opal from the Welo mine in Ethiopia. In 2012, gambling addict Howard Ratner runs KMH, a jewelry store in New York City's Diamond District. Howard struggles to pay off his gambling debts, which include $100,000 he owes to Arno, his loan shark brother-in-law. His domestic life is split between his wife Dinah, who has agreed to divorce after Passover, and his girlfriend Julia, a KMH employee.
Howard's business associate Demany brings basketball star Kevin Garnett to KMH. While he is there, the opal, which Howard had smuggled in, arrives. Garnett becomes obsessed with it, insisting on holding onto it for good luck at his game that night. Howard reluctantly agrees, accepting Garnett's 2008 NBA Championship ring as collateral.
After Garnett leaves, Howard pawns the ring, placing a six-way parlay on him playing extraordinarily well in that night's game, which he does. The next day, Demany says that Garnett still has the opal, angering him. Howard is ambushed at his daughter's school play by Arno and his mafia handlers, Phil and Nico. His winning bet should have won him $600,000, but Arno placed a stop on the bet, as it was made with money Howard owed him. Phil and Nico strip Howard naked and lock him in the trunk of his car, forcing him to call Dinah for help.
Howard meets Demany at a nightclub party hosted by R&B singer the Weeknd to retrieve the opal, but learns that Garnett still has it. Howard finds Julia snorting cocaine in a bathroom with the Weeknd and, believing they were having sex, gets into a fight with him. Feeling betrayed, Howard confronts Julia and demands that she move out of his apartment.
Garnett returns the opal before an auction, offering to purchase it for $175,000, but Howard refuses, as he believes it is worth much more. Garnett demands his ring back, but Howard lies that it's at his house. After Garnett leaves in dismay, Howard berates Demany for allowing Garnett to hold onto the opal for so long. Incensed, Demany quits, trashing Howard's office. After an awkward Passover dinner, Dinah rejects Howard's plea to give their marriage another chance.
Just before the auction starts, Howard discovers the opal has in fact been appraised for significantly less than his initial estimate of $1 million. He convinces his father-in-law Gooey to bid on the gem to drive up the price, but the plan backfires when Garnett fails to top Gooey's final bid. A furious Gooey gives Howard the opal before Arno, Phil, and Nico assault him outside the auction house. He returns to KMH, bloody and in tears. Julia comforts him and they reconcile.
Howard learns Garnett still wants to buy the opal, so he pays him at KMH with cash. Although Howard could repay his debt to Arno, he asks Julia to put the cash on a three-way parlay on Garnett having a strong performance. Arno, Phil, and Nico arrive at KMH just before Garnett leaves, but before they enter Howard's office, Julia escapes. The thugs find and threaten him, while she goes by helicopter to the Mohegan Sun casino to place the bet. Arno tells Howard to call Julia and cancel it, but he refuses. Furious, the three attempt to pursue her, but Howard locks them between the store's mantrap. He watches the game on television, taunting the three by pointing out their court-side mob associates while they remain trapped.
Garnett's Boston Celtics win the game, earning Howard $1.2 million. Ecstatic, he frees the three thugs, but an enraged Phil shoots Howard in the face, killing him instantly. Arno protests before attempting to escape, leading Phil to shoot him dead as well. Julia leaves the casino with Howard's winnings as Phil and Nico loot the store.

Emi is beginning her dive as a ''haenyeo'' woman with JinHee, a fellow diver. Emi talks about a dream she often has where she is standing on a cliff and hears a girl's voice calling for her that is familiar but strange. Emi is revealed to be seventy seven years old, and talks about diving being a gift that her mother taught her. Emi talks about how she does not visit her children often because she has a distant relationship with them. She takes a taxi and then an airplane to Seoul to visit her daughter YoonHui, her son Hyoung, and her grandson YoungSook.
JinHee convinced Emi to go to the inaugural ceremony of the Jeju Peace Park that commemorates the 1948 Jeju Uprising. The 1948 Jeju Uprising led to the massacre of over twenty thousand islanders, according to Emi. She recalls how her family home was burned when she was fourteen years old. When she attended the event, she noticed how everyone was carrying the same flowers, white chrysanthemums, which are a symbol of mourning.
Emi is at the one thousandth Wednesday Demonstration that has happened since 1992. She remembers how in 1948, before the Korean War had begun, her father had his throat slit by a policeman in front of her and her mother. Her and her mother fled to a cove and ate the insects, moss, and creatures that were in the cove. When they were on the brink of starvation, they returned to their destroyed house. Policemen discovered them and brought them to a police station. The man who had brought them to the station, HyunMo, forced Emi to marry him. When Emi is back in the present moment of the Demonstration, Emi meets a group of older women and asks if they knew a Hana. They answer by saying that they were named after flowers, but did not know each other's real names. They talk of women being taken from various locations, such as China, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Dutch women. They talked of the first comfort woman to come forward, Kim Hak-sun in 1991. The Demonstration continues, and there is a statue of peace that Emi knows is of Hana. Emi tells her children that she was not an only child, and that she did not tell them because of shame. She reveals that her sister, Hana, sacrificed herself to save her.
Hyoung asks Emi why she hated their father. She reveals to her children that they did not marry out of love but because of the war. She was fourteen when she was married. Emi did not believe that he married her for love; only for her family's land. She was pregnant at sixteen and afraid of being a mother. After learning that HyunMo had her mother killed, she told her son that he was the only thing that kept her from killing herself. Her son was born the year the Korean War begun. When her husband was on his deathbed, he thanked her for their children, he said he always loved her in his own way, asked that she not hate him so much after he dies, that she light incense for his ancestors, and that she forgive him for everything. Emi visits the statue again with her children. She says that it is her sister Hana. She tells YoonHui that she was proud that she went to university, and that she was proud of her son. Emi thinks to herself that she has finally found Hana.
YoonHui is in the sea and wants to dive to remember what it is like to be a haenyeo like her mother. JinHee is with her, and YoonHui uses her mother's mask. JinHee tells her that Emi was proud of her. YoonHui visited the statue after her mother had died with Lane and her nephew. Her nephew pointed out that someone had left flowers; they were white chrysanthemums. Lane found the artist that made the statue and they shared a black and white photograph that inspired the statue. It was from the daughter of a woman who was captured by Russian soldiers during World War II and had donated it to the Museum of Sexual Slavery. It had the label of haenyeo girl, with the date 1993. YoonHui tells the statue goodbye Aunt Hana.
In Pavel Olevantsev's family unexpectedly comes the news that his daughter was orphaned by another woman. Pavel did not know about the existence of the girl, nor could his wife know about it.
It's not easy to decide to take the child to your home. But it is much more difficult to put the girl to her, to give her the joy of childhood and the belief that she is not alone.
But Pavel's wife Shura, in spite of everything, believes that the love and affection that helped her all her life will help her survive this difficult situation.
Lewis Dodd is a young composer. His late mentor, Albert Sanger, had several daughters, one of whom, the teenage schoolgirl Teresa, suffers from a heart defect. She is in love with Lewis, but he falls for her cousin, Florence Churchill, who, after Albert's death, comes to look after the anarchic Sanger family. Lewis and Florence marry, but the marriage is full of tensions, and she is well aware, as he is not, until later in the play, of Teresa's feelings for him. Florence's conflict between her concerned instincts towards her cousins and her controlling instincts, possessiveness and snobbery is a key point of the plot. Lewis come to realise his love for Teresa, but she dies of heart failure, leaving him bereft.
''The Times'' thought the adaptation well done, but regretted that turning the novel into a play necessarily removed some of its subtleties and ambiguities. The paper's reviewer found that the anarchic Sangers and Dodd were shown in a more unequivocally favourable light than in the novel and the unkind aspects of Florence's nature portrayed more strongly than her kindnesses. ''The Stage'' thought much less of the novel than did ''The Times'' ("cannot be classed much above … Ethel M. Dell"), and found the dramatisation "episodical in treatment", though the reviewer predicted a popular success."The New", ''The Stage'', 16 September 1926, p. 18 ''The Era'' called the play "one of those rare events in the theatre, a really satisfactory and satisfying dramatisation of a novel … there is not a trace of sentimentality".
Diane Rhodes (Mary Kay Place) is a middle-aged widow living in Pittsfield, Massachusetts whose days are taken up through service to others. She makes a to-do list for her day, before delivering a casserole to friends, one of whom is recovering from a recent accident. She makes a brief stop to pick a teacher friend from school before delivering clean clothes to her adult son Brian (Jake Lacy). Brian, a heroin addict and alcoholic, lives in squalor with his likewise addict girlfriend Carla.
When Diane arrives at Brian’s apartment, to which she has a key, she finds him passed out on the couch. She wakes him and they proceed to argue about his sobriety. He claims to be suffering from bronchitis and is angered at Diane’s insinuation that he is not sober and needs to go back to the hospital where he detoxed. After she leaves, Diane visits her cousin Donna (Dierdre O’Connell), who is in the hospital suffering from advanced cervical cancer. Donna is asleep when she arrives and Diane engages in banal conversations with the nursing staff.
The next days pass similarly, with Diane visiting Brian and Donna in succession. Brian continues to object to his mother’s visits, while Donna rejects her nurses’ offer of morphine and instead engages in playing gin rummy with Diane. After Donna’s pain increases, Diane calls her aunt Madge (Joyce van Patten), who a neighbor drives to the hospital. Donna is visibly soothed by her mother’s presence.
Diane drives Madge to a family gathering with her aunts and uncles. After a tense exchange with her eldest aunt Ina (Phyllis Somerville), her aunt Mary (Estelle Parsons) tells a story about an encyclopedia salesman. Diane goes to dinner at a buffet restaurant with her best friend Bobbie (Andrea Martin). They have a conversation about how many people their age are dying.
Diane volunteers at a soup kitchen, where one of her favorite regulars, Tom (Charles Weldon), engages her in friendly conversation. Diane shows herself to have close familiarity with the layout of the kitchen and how much food should be out at any one time. When the power goes out, Diane and the other workers bring lit candles to the tables so the people can eat in peace.
During Diane’s visits, Brian begins to visibly worsen. On one of her last visits, she finds him passed out in the bathroom and turns the shower on to shock him awake. She angrily tells him that he has to go back to the hospital and he lashes out verbally. Diane slaps him and leaves. At a subsequent dinner with Bobbie, she angrily states how tired she is of everyone talking about Brian, including her. Bobbie distracts her by talking about the history of the buffet restaurant they are eating at and how terrible the food is, which makes Diane laugh. When a server arrives at their table, Diane lies about how much they are enjoying the food.
While visiting Donna, Diane has an uncomfortable conversation with her about an incident in 1999 when their family was visiting Cape Cod when Diane left Brian and her husband at the family home and took off with Donna’s boyfriend, Jess. Diane asks Donna if she has forgiven Diane. Donna pointedly says, “I’ve forgiven you, but I haven’t forgotten,” and tells Diane how much it hurt for her to take care of Brian while Diane left with Jess. Diane takes her coat and leaves. Diane visits Brian’s apartment to find out he has disappeared. She searches for him and calls his phone to no avail. She visits on several subsequent days, but he does not reappear.
On a night where Diane works at the soup kitchen, Tom is reprimanded by another worker for attempting to go through the serving line a third time. Diane intervenes, tells Tom to get as much food as he wants, and upbraids the other worker, yelling at her about how she has no right to humiliate people just because they are poor. Bobbie pulls Diane into a side room and tells her that she must get some peace. As Diane struggles to regain her composure, Bobbie gently tells her to take as much time as she needs “and come out when you’re good and ready.”
After once again visiting Brian’s empty apartment, Diane goes to a bar where she used to be a regular. She drinks margaritas and listens to the jukebox. After she becomes visibly intoxicated, the waitress cuts her off while the bartender makes a phone call. Diane exits the bar, collapses, and begins sobbing. Her aunts and friends arrive to drive her home.
Diane receives a call that Donna is dying and rushes to the hospital. As she enters the room to see her family quietly watching Donna in her last moments, her phone rings. She realizes it is Brian and steps into the hall to answer it. When she verifies that he is fine, she goes back into the hospital room, where Donna has now died. Madge hugs Diane and tells her that Donna loved her, which makes Diane break down.
Diane meets Brian at a small restaurant where he is far more put together and coherent. He tells her that he had to get help himself and that he went to a facility on Cape Cod to do so. Diane initially says that she has something to tell him, but when she is interrupted by the waitress bringing coffee, she changes her mind and tells Brian she will tell him about it later.
An indeterminate amount of time passes. Diane attends a service at a Pentecostal church, visibly uncomfortable in the open worship going on. At the front of the service, Brian, now wearing a wedding ring, assists in a trust fall exercise.
During a conversation with Jennifer, a manicurist (LaChanze), Diane talks about how all her aunts have died except Ina, the eldest. Jennifer discusses how she knows Diane’s daughter-in-law Tally (Celia Keenan-Bolger) and they show mutual disapproval at the depth and fervor of Tally and Brian’s faith. When Jennifer asks Diane if she is getting her nails done to attend an aunt’s funeral, Diane hesitates before saying she is going to funeral of a good friend who loved getting her nails done. Bobbie’s funeral is briefly shown.
Diane visits Brian and Tally to have lunch. As she brings in grocery bags and starts cooking, she hears them openly praying about her. At lunch, they begin to discuss whether Diane will join their church. She is visibly uncomfortable and tries to change the subject. As they persist, she becomes increasingly irritated and finally angry, lashing out at Brian for his selfishness. He turns the accusation back on her, reminding her of how she left him when she took off with Jess. Diane leaves.
Diane begins writing confessional poetry, seemingly inspired by the work of Emily Dickinson, which she keeps by her bedside. She has a vivid dream in which Jess appears and injects her with heroin, though a later journal entry states that Jess appeared much kinder in her dream than he was in real life. While shopping for groceries, Diane sees the former co-worker at the soup kitchen. They pointedly avoid each other. When a call from Brian comes in, Diane declines to answer.
Diane has a conversation with Ina about how she doesn’t know how to cope with Brian’s religiosity. Ina tells her of a friend who substituted religion for alcohol – one addiction for another. She reassures Diane that Brian will come around.
Diane is briefly seen attending Ina’s funeral.
When cleaning up the soup kitchen one night, Diane accidentally drops a dirty pan in the kitchen. Tom comes in to help her clean up. Diane apologizes repeatedly, but Tom insists on her sitting down while he cleans. As he does so, he tells Diane how she reminds him of one of his aunts, who apologized for everything, thinking she could never atone for some imagined sin. Diane, barely keeping tears at bay, tells him how she has caused a great deal of pain. He finishes cleaning and tells her that when she serves him food, he feels salvation.
Late one night, Brian arrives at Diane’s, intoxicated. He bitterly discusses his unhappiness in his marriage and apologizes for his cruelty to his mother. When she tells him how she cannot forgive herself for leaving him, he tells her that he was never truly angry with her and that he forced himself into feeling anger toward her because he felt he should. They reconcile before Brian leaves, wryly telling Diane he has to go “back to Jesusland.” Diane prepares to go to bed, turning off the light for a moment before turning it back on and pulling her to-do list out, adding more entries to it.
In the film’s final scene, a visibly older Diane stands outside, filling bird feeders in the snow. As she lifts the bag of birdseed and prepares to go back inside, she pauses, her mind racing with thoughts about what she has to do. She quickly becomes confused and is unable to latch onto a single thought. She collapses into the snow as a woman offscreen calls her name and runs up to her. Diane closes her eyes.
As described in a film magazine, shabby and lovable old inventor Noah Vale (Rogers) shares his attic room with Rip (DeVilbiss) and Patch (Trebaol), two orphans he has befriended. His lifetime ambition is centered in an invention he has slaved to perfect. In the meantime he tries to keep Rip, Patch, and himself from starving by selling copies of ''The Decline and Fall of Rome'' door to door. He is dispossessed and Scallops (Malone), a neighbor's child, gives them shelter. Vale has a distant relative, a wealthy manufacturer by the name of Fay (Williams), and when he writes him for aid in putting the invention to market, Fay's daughter (Breamer) takes a deep interest in the case. Fay's partner Sterrett (Ainsworth) tries to steal a model of the invention, but returns it when he finds that it is worthless. Johnny Smith (MacDonald), secretary to Fay, is discharged but secures work at a newspaper, and gets a position for Vale as a column writer. Vale gives up inventing and when Johnny marries Miss Fay, they provide a home for Rip and Patch.
Quambatook is set in 1955 and tells the story of 11-year-old Johnno who live in the small Victorian farming town of Quambatook. For years, he and his family have happily sat around the radio, listened, sang and played along with songs from "The Silver Haired Showman's" weekly radio show. But ever since Johnno heard the Showman describe his experiences in the Northern Territory at Uluru, he has had only one desire; to see and experience the big red rock for himself. Whether or not they make it to Uluru isn't important, Johnno's Mum tells him in the musical, the fact is "The Joy is in the Journey".
The documentary investigates the 2015 killing by a robot of an assembly line manager in a Volkswagen factory in Germany, a driverless Tesla car that hit a white truck ahead of it, and the use of drones by the police in the USA (especially in Dallas) to drop bombs on snipers and suspects. It also follows the use of artificial intelligence in facial tracking, use of robots in Japan including hotels staffed by them, Geminoids in Japan, and the use of facial recognition for targeted marketing.
The films uses Isaac Asimov's ''"Three Laws of Robotics",'' first proposed by him in his 1942 short story ''Runaround'', and describes how human beings have in recent years ignored them. The film follows these with interviews with experts in the field, footage of real robots being used for bomb disposal, and "smart guns" that are able to shoot people automatically based on facial recognition. The film questions the morality of these uses and highlights the inadequacy of the current legal structure to address these issues.

Ten years after the end of the war against Dr. Hell and his Mechanical Beasts, the world lives in an era of peace thanks to the development of photonic energy for peaceful purposes. Mazinger Z's pilot Koji Kabuto has become a distinguished scientist, after his father and grandfather, while Sayaka Yumi is now the director of the Photon Research Institute, after her father, Dr. Yumi, became the Prime Minister of Japan. Great Mazinger's pilot Tetsuya Tsurugi is still in the military and married to Jun Hono, who's expecting their first child. Koji's younger brother Shiro is also a military mecha pilot.
While constructing the institute's new building, they find an enormous robot buried beneath Mt. Fuji, which they codename Infinity. When Koji comes to investigate, a girl emerges from the inside. Lisa is the robot's main control unit, a 91% organic AI with feelings. Shortly before, the presumed dead Dr. Hell attacks the institute with new Mechanical Beasts, as well as his henchmen Baron Ashura and Count Brocken, and steals the Infinity, using a captured Tetsuya and Great Mazinger as improvised activation key, since he was unable to get Lisa. Lisa reveals that the final power of the Infinity is the Goragon, the ability to exchange their universe with another, by causing a forced quantum overlapping. Dr. Hell plans to use it, as he believes this world is not worth existing.
Dr. Nossori and Dr. Sewashi use a giant photonic energy 3D Printer to repair and upgrade the original Mazinger Z (which was hidden at the old Photon Research Institute). Koji and Lisa, in the refurbished Mazinger Z, infiltrate the invaded Photon Institute, battling the Mechanical Beasts inside. After defeating Baron Ashura and Count Brocken, Mazinger Z confronts Dr. Hell's robot, but is gravely damaged. Shiro rescues Great Mazinger, and they stop the Goragon countdown but Dr. Hell has a backup of Great Mazinger's activation code on his Bardos sceptre and takes control of Infinity, activating Goragon.
In the adjacent dimension, Koji sees an alternate universe where Lisa is his and Sayaka's daughter. Lisa uses herself as key to give Mazinger a power equivalent to Infinity's, by transmuting photonic energy into matter. Everyone in the planet gives their photonic energy to Mazinger Z, and Koji punches Infinity with Dr. Hell out the planet, where it explodes. Lisa disappears, assuring Koji they'll see each other again. Meanwhile, Jun gives birth to her and Tetsuya's child.
Afterwards, Koji and Sayaka marry and they are seen walking with a child Lisa.
The plot focuses on the 16 year old Beatriz "Bía" Urquiza (Isabela Souza), a girl who likes to draw. When Bia was very young, she loved making music with her older sister Helena (Gabriella Di Grecco). Helena was herself a singer and a member of the band ''MoonDust'', which included her boyfriend Víctor (Fernando Dente) and his little brother Lucas Gutiérrez. One day the band got into a traffic accident in which Lucas and apparently Helena died and only Víctor survived, who is now paraplegic and has to sit in a wheelchair. Bia still suffers from the loss of her sister ten years later, and neither have the Urquiza or Gutiérrez families processed the loss of their children or siblings. There has been hostility between the two families since the accident, particularly the Gutiérrez make life difficult for the Urquiza because they make Helena responsible for the accident.
The situation escalates when Bía and Manuel (Julio Peña Fernández) fall in love because Manuel is the cousin of Víctor and Alex Gutiérrez. While their love meets with little approval within their families, they both try to make the best of the situation and fight for their love. But among other things, Alex does everything to separate the two and makes life hell for them. The two find support from their friends and from Víctor, who best copes with Manuel from his family, and vice versa. In addition, a mysterious young woman named Ana appears in the Residence Kunst, who has a connection to what has happened in the past. And after a short time it turns out that there are some secrets and intrigues in the Gutiérrez family that reveal terrible deeds.
A series of robberies have been committed against wealthy inhabitants of Monaco by a thief known as 'The Black Spider'. A young woman steals her aunt's jewels as a joke, pretending to be the Black Spider, but a detective is soon on her trail.
While in a panicked state at Camp Clear Vista, lead counselor (and camp owner) Sam calls his friend Chuck (short for "Charlotte"), a horror movie enthusiast working at a comic book store. Sam explains that a masked murderer is loose on the campgrounds and has killed "a lot" of counselors. Chuck asks Sam for more details. Sam begins recounting his first day at the camp with fellow counselors including Carol, Ted, Steve ‘The Kayak King,’ Drew, Alice and Heather, Sam's ex-girlfriend Imani, Freddie, Nancy, Brad, and Jamie.
Sam suffers a momentary blackout while on the phone with Chuck. Sam escapes the cabin where he is hiding when someone sets it on fire. Sam briefly encounters the masked killer before finding a new hiding spot. Chuck calls back to help Sam deduce the killer's identity. Sam recalls how he and several other counselors found themselves trapped at the camp after discovering several dead bodies. A flashback shows Sam stumbling upon Freddie and Nancy while patrolling the woods for the killer. For some reason Freddie and Nancy are unable to hear Sam. Sam begins suffering a blackout as he witnesses the killer slaughtering them.
Sam and Chuck eventually conclude that because he is covered in blood, holding the killer's signature blade, and possesses a mysterious wooden mask, Sam may actually be the killer and his blackouts prevented him from remembering. Sam tries to destroy the mask, but discovers it is unbreakable. He then attempts to burn the mask, only for his face to burn as well. Chuck theorizes that the mask may have imprinted on him. Fearful that the surviving counselors are going to kill him, Sam goes back into hiding.
Chuck asks Sam to remember how everything started. Sam flashes back to killing skinny-dippers at a pool, a couple in a kitchen, and then his friend, Steve "The Kayak King," while possessed by the mask. Sam recalls telling Camp Clear Vista's haunted history to other counselors around a campfire. Sam tells the tale of a woodcarver who crafted a mask from a tree where a dark spirit was trapped a century earlier by a Cajun medicine man. The mask compelled the carver to kill his family and others in the village until a young woman kills him to stop the killings. Now the cursed mask is rumored to be buried at the woodcarver's grave.
Despite Sam's warning that the story is true, the counselors go off to look for the mask. Drew manipulates Sam into inadvertently revealing where the woodcarver's grave is. Drew discovers the mask buried by the headstone. Sam convinces Drew to not wear the mask, so she puts it on Sam instead as a joke. Sam then becomes possessed by it, recovers the woodcarver's hidden weapon (a ceremonial-looking jagged blade, made from a gator jaw), and kills Drew.
Sam continues flashing back to the other murders he unknowingly committed while wearing the mask. Sam remembers choking out Imani before throwing her into a spike pit as his most recent kill. Sam's feelings for Imani allows him to take off the mask. With Chuck fully caught up, she advises Sam to be aware of Jamie because she appears to be the Final Girl.
Sam tries to fight it, but a supernatural compulsion causes Sam to don the mask again and kill Brad. Imani emerges from the spike pit, having faked her death, to regroup with Jamie. The two manage to knock the mask off Sam and lock him in a shed. Sam tries explaining that the mask made him kill. Sam also expresses that he believes that if both Imani and Jamie stay alive, all three of them could be safe since there won't be a face off with the Final Girl. Over the phone, Chuck explains the Final Girl concept to the two remaining women.
While Chuck warns them to keep Sam away from the mask, Sam is compelled to wear it once more. Sam breaks out of the shed, prompting Imani and Jamie to run. Thinking she will survive if she becomes the Final Girl, Imani tries to kill Jamie. However, Jamie kills Imani instead. Over the phone, Chuck tells Jamie that she now needs to kill Sam at the woodcarver's grave because it is the place of power.
Sam manages to tear off the mask and head to the gravesite himself—he has a plan. After telling his plan to Chuck, Sam convinces Jamie that they both can survive if they stop the curse by burying the mask. Jamie digs a hole at the burial site. However, Jamie becomes compelled to don the mask when she touches it. Jamie stabs Sam with the woodcarver's blade, and he falls over dead. With the mask removed, Jamie tells Chuck over the phone that the ordeal is over. She then walks off, taking the mask with her.
Two years later Chuck receives a call from a panicked Sam, having become undead.
The plot begins when Greeks led by Achilles sack Lyrnessus, describing the looting and burning of the city, the massacre of its men and the abduction of its women including Briseis, the childless wife of its king Mynes. When the women are handed out to the leaders of the Greek raiders, Briseis, as a royal (and according to the ''Iliad'', beautiful) is given to Achilles.
The plot then becomes that of the ''Iliad'', covering the dispute between Achilles and Agamemnon over Chryseis which results in Achilles yielding Briseis to Agamemnon, Achilles' subsequent refusal to join the fighting, then the deaths of Patroclus, Hector, and finally Achilles. Briseis has become pregnant with Achilles' child shortly before his death, of which Achilles has foreknowledge; he marries her to one of his lieutenants and the story ends as the Greek warriors depart the Trojan shores to return to their homes, accompanied by Briseis and the female war captives.
The story is told chiefly by Briseis in the first person, with interjections giving Achilles' internal state of mind. However, as the title suggests, Briseis' narrative is almost entirely internal; except in flashbacks to times before her capture, she speaks out loud hardly at all, only a few handfuls of words.
Parts of the closing sequence, describing the fate of Troy's women and the sacrifice of Priam's daughter at Achilles' burial mound, are taken from ''The Trojan Women'' by Euripides.
The novel features appearances by many characters from the ''Iliad'' including Priam, Nestor, Ajax the Great, Agamemnon, and Helen of Troy. It portrays with great intensity the brutality and filth of the war, and the emotional state of Achilles and Patroclus. Achilles' mother, the Nereid Thetis, appears but only speaks to Achilles when he grieves for Patroclus; she asks what's wrong and says she will bring him armour.
In the beginning, the BAU team members are being interviewed individually by Section Chief Erin Strauss (Jayne Atkinson) for an internal investigation concerning Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson). Prolific serial killer George Foyet a.k.a. "The Reaper" (C. Thomas Howell) had been corresponding with Karl Arnold while the latter was in prison. The team discovers Foyet became dependent on medications after he'd stabbed himself repeatedly. When a pharmacist explains to JJ (A. J. Cook) that one allergy medication could be replaced with another, JJ figures out there must be certain medications that Foyet takes that cannot be substituted. After discovering where the letters originated, Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) starts to create anagrams for "The Reaper" to figure out the alias Foyet may be using, and he comes up with the name "Peter Rhea." Narrowing down the addresses on the letters along with the name and the probable name Foyet would use to pick up his medication, the team thinks they've pinpointed Foyet's location. They surround the apartment and knock on the door, but when there is no answer, the team goes in. There is a large stack of mail near the door that indicates Foyet hasn't been around in a while. Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) takes a look at the laptop in the home and discovers Foyet had set up an internet alert for Peter Rhea, which meant he would be alerted when anyone did a search on the name. In the home, there are also photos of Sam Kassmeyer (D. B. Sweeney), the U.S. Marshal assigned to protect Hotch's ex-wife, Haley (Meredith Monroe), and son, Jack (Cade Owens).
The team goes to the safe house, and they find Sam Kassmeyer bleeding and seriously injured, having previously been shot by Foyet. Sam apologizes to Hotch, and it is revealed that Foyet had stolen Sam's cell phone and repeatedly called random numbers on the speed dial until he eventually reached Haley. On the phone, he pretended to be a marshal and detailed to a terrified Haley that both Kassmeyer and Hotch were dead, so Haley and the new marshal needed to meet at her home. The mortally wounded Sam Kassmeyer succumbs to his gunshot wounds and dies in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Meanwhile, Hotch calls Foyet on his cell phone and threatens him repeatedly and an unintimidated Foyet responds by telling Hotch that Haley looks good with dark hair. Haley, believing Foyet is the new marshal assigned to protect her and Jack, lets him into the house. During a frantic drive to his own house, Hotch calls Haley and speaks with Foyet. Foyet tells Haley about how her ex-husband broke their deal by still trying to track him down and therefore, he has to kill Hotch's family in retaliation. Hotch informs Jack that he needs to help his dad work the case, and so Jack goes upstairs. Haley tells Hotch he needs to tell his son how they met so Jack would still believe in love. Hotch and the BAU team drive to the Hotchner house, but it is too late; Foyet fatally shoots Haley three times while Hotch and the rest of the team listen helplessly on the phone.
Hotch arrives at his house, enters with his pistol drawn, and discovers bloody footprints leading up the stairs. He finds Haley's lifeless and bloodied corpse lying on the floor of their former bedroom and sees a figure hiding behind the curtains. Hotch empties his handgun into the hidden figure, which turns out to be Foyet, who is wearing a bulletproof Kevlar vest and is uninjured by the gunshots. Foyet falls to the floor and the two men subsequently engage in a brutal hand-to-hand fight which takes them downstairs and eventually ends when an enraged Hotch beats Foyet brutally and violently to death with his bare hands, even after Foyet hypocritically and fearfully surrenders. The rest of the BAU team arrives and Morgan (Shemar Moore), Prentiss (Paget Brewster) and Rossi (Joe Mantegna) check upstairs and find Hotch still beating the now dead Foyet, causing Morgan to have to pull Hotch away from Foyet's lifeless corpse. Hotch goes to check on Jack, who had helped his dad work the case by hiding in a chest – their secret plan designed to protect Jack. At the end of the internal investigation, the panel rules that Agent Hotchner's actions were acceptable and justifiable under the circumstances.
Trevor interferes with the humans; he drives Chidi away from the others by suggesting that Chidi's friendship with the subjects threatens clinical results, and he steers Jason and Tahani towards a meaningless hookup, all the while smothering the humans with overtures of friendship. Michael and Janet go to Earth, but struggle to hinder Trevor without their powers; Janet is perturbed by her inability to summon objects. Jason helps a drunk Tahani get home safely, but their friendship remains platonic. Eleanor is saddened by the loss of Chidi's friendship and mentorship, and she does not arrive for the next group meeting. Chidi, encouraged by Simone, affirms that he is Eleanor's friend, and she agrees to continue in the study. Judge Gen summons Michael, Janet, and Trevor back to the afterlife, and hurls a fawning Trevor into a void. She declares that the experiment is over; the humans must meet the normal threshold to get into the Good Place. Gen orders Michael and Janet to return to the Bad Place, where he would be forcibly retired and she deactivated. Janet's powers return and, as her queued-up summoned objects appear and overwhelm Gen, Janet and Michael flee to Earth.
As the families of South Park gather at church on Sunday, Stan Marsh questions why he has to attend every week. His parents, Randy and Sharon, admonish him on the ritual's importance, and say that they always feel better after each service. At church, Father Maxi struggles to deliver his sermon amid all the constant interruptions by members of the congregation who make jokes referencing Catholic Church sexual abuse cases. Butters Stotch attempts to console Maxi, relating to him how he had been the subject of ridicule at school, but now enjoys greater popularity. Encouraging him not to give his tormentors the satisfaction of cowering in shame, he invites Maxi to board game night with his friends at Stan's house, but Maxi's appearance there garners more ridicule from Randy, who finds the scene of a Catholic priest sitting with five boys worthy of a photograph on social media. When an embarrassed Maxi leaves, Butters goes after him. Saying that he himself was once like Father Maxi, Butters implores him not to allow himself to be daunted by the cruelty of others, and to simply be himself.
As a result of this, Maxi spends more time socializing with Butters, and neglects his duties, to the point that churchgoers find the church doors locked the following Sunday. When Mr. Mackey alerts the Denver Archdiocese that "another" priest has disappeared from his parish, the diocese sends a cleanup crew of ordained church officials to thoroughly clean the South Park church, Stan's house, and any other location where Father Maxi has been, in order to remove trace evidence of child molestation, in particular semen. At Clyde Donovan's birthday party at a roller rink, Butters brings Maxi, much to the anger of Clyde, who does not want a priest at his party. A demoralized Maxi leaves with Butters, and later confesses to him that some time ago, he learned the extent of the Catholic Church sex abuse problem, and that it was worse than anyone thought (as seen in the episode "Red Hot Catholic Love"). When the cleanup crew appear at the roller rink and learn that Maxi was there with Butters, they kidnap Stan and Clyde, and after tracking Butters down, they kidnap him as well.
The cleanup crew take the three boys into the woods, where they have deployed a Zamboni ice resurfacer modified to clean up semen, or "Kumboni". Father Maxi tracks down and confronts the cleanup crew, telling them to do whatever they want to him, but to spare the children. Surprised, the bishop in charge says that they are not there to kill him, but to cover up his crimes and issue him a transfer to the Maldives, just as the Church has always done with priests accused of child molestation. When they assure him that other priests will take over for him in South Park, Father Maxi uses the Kumboni to trample the cleanup crew to death. He returns to his position at South Park's church, delivering his sermons and calmly enduring the continued jokes at the expense of the Church.
16 year-old Tyler Burnside lives with his devout Christian family in the small remote town of Clarksville, Kentucky. The town and its residents are haunted by the memory of the Clovehitch Killer, an infamous serial killer who bound and strangled 10 known female victims before apparently disappearing 10 years earlier.
Tyler takes his father's truck one night to see a girl, who finds a bondage photograph between the seats. When word of the photo spreads among the other teenagers in Tyler's church and scout troop, they ostracize him, believing him to be a BDSM fetishist. Tyler, meanwhile, begins to wonder if his father, family man and community leader, Don Burnside, could have something to do with the Clovehitch Killer. Tyler investigates Don's private shed and finds a hidden compartment containing bondage magazines, along with a Polaroid photograph of a beaten and bound woman. Fearing that his father might be the killer, Tyler befriends a teen outcast and amateur Clovehitch historian named Kassi and asks for her help. Kassi is initially skeptical, but they link the photograph to a known Clovehitch victim, find blueprints to a BDSM dungeon in the shed, and when Tyler explores his house's crawl space, he finds a box containing the drivers licenses of the known Clovehitch victims and three other women, as well as more polaroid photographs of beaten and bound women.
Don, now suspicious of Tyler's behavior, takes him camping. To explain the evidence Tyler had uncovered, Don says that the Clovehitch Killer was Tyler's vegetative uncle Rudy, who became paralyzed after the guilt drove him to a suicide attempt. Don says he kept the evidence in hopes of one day giving it to the victims' families. Tyler accepts the explanation, and the two burn all the evidence. Tyler ends the investigation, although Kassi remains unsatisfied with Don's story.
Don surprisingly allows Tyler to attend a scout leadership camp, something he had previously claimed the family had no money for. He then sends his wife Cindy and daughter Susie to visit Cindy's mother for two weeks. Home alone, he photographs himself dressed as a woman in bondage positions, but angrily throws the photos away later. Afterwards, he stalks a woman through town. After casing her house, he breaks in, binds her, and begins strangling her. However, Tyler appears in the house with a rifle, and it is revealed through a flashback that Tyler never left for camp, but was secretly watching Don with Kassi. The flashback also reveals that Kassi's mother, who went missing 10 years prior, was one of the three unknown Clovehitch victims.
Don incapacitates Kassi and convinces Tyler to surrender his rifle; he immediately tries to shoot Tyler with it, only to find the chamber empty. The two scuffle, and Don nearly strangles Tyler until Kassi awakens and knocks Don unconscious. Kassi begins to dial 9-1-1, but Tyler grabs her hand and stops her.
Later, Don has been declared missing, but Tyler's family remains stable. They are informed that the police have discovered Don's body and his death is considered a suicide. At their church, Tyler delivers a eulogy for Don, intercut with scenes of him and Kassi dragging Don, unconscious, into the forest and framing his death as a hunting accident while cleaning his gun. The forest scene ends with Don slowly waking up and Tyler pointing a pistol at his head. Tyler ends the eulogy with, "Dad, if you can hear me, I love you."
After being abducted at the end of the previous episode, JJ (A. J. Cook) wakes restrained. She recognizes her captor, who drugs her.
In a flashback to the U.S. Operations Camp in Afghanistan in 2010, JJ meets with Section Chief Erin Strauss (Jayne Atkinson). JJ has been assigned to a task force that is looking for Osama bin Laden, and will interrogate female suspects without the brutality used on male suspects. JJ meets Mateo Cruz (Esai Morales); Michael Hastings (Tahmoh Penikett); and Tivon Askari (Faran Tahir), her interpreter.
In the present day, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) learns of her disappearance and that she previously worked with their new Section Chief, Cruz, who is also missing. While looking through JJ’s old office, Rossi (Joe Mantegna) and Blake (Jeanne Tripplehorn) find documents about JJ’s 2010 mission, code-named "Integrity". Hotch (Thomas Gibson) goes to the Department of State to see Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs Rosemary Jackson (Debrah Farentino), the creator of JJ’s taskforce. Under Secretary Jackson reveals Tivon Askari as the perpetrator, but, to avoid government scandal, bans the BAU from the investigation. Despite the ban, Hotch calls in reinforcements: Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), former BAU agent, now head of Interpol.
The BAU classifies Askari as a serial killer and identifies his pattern. Askari tortures JJ and Cruz with water boarding, electrocution, and, for JJ, attempted rape, in order to get security codes to “Integrity”. JJ realizes that Askari is working with someone else, and, although the team initially suspects Cruz, Hastings is the real mole. His death via a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, which caused JJ to miscarry, was faked.
While the team looks for JJ and Cruz, "Blackbird", JJ, appears on Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness)’s computer screen. She and Kevin (Nicholas Brendon) are apprehended for their hacking, but are able to relay JJ's location. Prentiss and Hotch find JJ just in time to prevent Askari from killing her, which they successfully do when Hotch shoots and kills Askari. JJ and Prentiss fight Hastings, which culminates in his death by falling off the roof. Later, the team and Prentiss celebrate at a bar and say farewell to Prentiss before she heads back to London.
Virgilio (Mateus Solano) is a single and lonely man but everything changes when he answers the call of Clara (Thaila Ayala).

Three months following the defeat of Kuvira and the dissolution of the Earth Empire, King Wu, ruler of the Earth Kingdom, attempts to institute democratic elections of state governors as part of his efforts to reform his nation. Prior to the first election in the state of Gaoling, Wu learns about a group of Earth Empire separatists led by Commander Guan, a former subordinate of Kuvira's, and fears they will attempt to disrupt the election. To prevent this, Korra agrees to travel to Gaoling with Wu, along with her girlfriend Asami Sato, her friends Mako and Bolin, and the now imprisoned Kuvira, who had offered to try and talk Gun down.
Guan and his forces arrive in Gaoling's capital soon after Korra and her allies. They refuse Kuvira's request to surrender, prompting Kuvira to assault Guan before she is electrocuted into unconsciousness by Asami, who resents Kuvira for killing her father. After this, Guan reveals his intent to take part in the election himself, and have Earth Empire members do the same in other states, effectively restoring the Earth Empire. To foil Guan's plans,Avatar Korra and her allies decide to have Toph Beifong stand against him, while Guan is shown brainwashing people into voting for him.
Avatar Korra and Wu travel to the Foggy Swamp to recruit Toph, where Wu has a vision of his deceased great-aunt Earth Queen Hou-Ting, who accuses him of only trying to establish democracy because he doesn't want the responsibility of rulership. Guan and his forces take advantage of Korra's absence to launch an attack on her docked airship, capturing Asami, Mako, Bolin and Kuvira. With the exception of Kuvira, who manages to escape, all of them are brainwashed into supporting Guan and opposing Korra. Kuvira meanwhile contacts Suyin Beifong, her now estranged mother figure and the ruler of the city-state of Zaofu, informing her of what had happened and convincing her to help.
Suyin arrives the next day, and Kuvira tries to persuade Korra to flee to Zaofu and gather reinforcements, as well as devise a way to break the brainwashing. Korra refuses to leave Asami, Mako and Bolin in Guan's hands however, and she and her allies attempt to rescue them. They battle Guan's forces and capture Asami, but King Wu is taken in turn, and Korra and her allies are forced to flee to Zaofu. Guan prepares to brainwash King Wu, while Kuvira reveals that to break the brainwashing, she will need the help of her former fiancée Baatar Jr.
Although initially reluctant to work with Kuvira, Baatar Jr creates a device capable of reversing the brainwashing, with Kuvira risking damage to her mind to help him in this process. Asami's brainwashing is broken, but Guan has Wu hold the election early, ensuring his victory. After learning of the situation, President Zhu Li Moon orders Korra to bring Kuvira back to the United Republic on the basis that there is no more use for her, but Kuvira escapes to Gaoling, prompting Korra and her allies to go after her.
Kuvira meets with Guan and tricks him into taking her to his brainwashing laboratory, where she attempts to brainwash him into giving up his plans. She is attacked by the still brainwashed Mako and Bolin before she can do so, but Avatar Korra and her allies come to her rescue, allowing her to defeat Guan. Mako, Bolin, Wu and the rest of Guan's victims are cured of their brainwashing, and Wu decides to relax his election plans and continue ruling, in order to ensure a successful transition to democracy. As thanks for Kuvira's role in stopping Guan, and because of her showing genuine remorse for her past crimes, Suyin arranges for her sentence to be commuted to house arrest in Zaofu. She assures Kuvira that, even though she is not a Beifong by blood, she will always be part of the family.

Kim Leon is a quiet apprentice working at a custom shoe shop in Japan. Two years ago, he ran a red light on his bicycle, causing Mikio Arakawa to get hit by a car and be permanently paralyzed below his waist. Overcome with guilt, Leon becomes withdrawn and does not notice that his co-worker, Akiko Kokaze, is in love with him. On April 2, college student Yoo Ji-woo confesses to his Japanese teacher, Kanako Koda, that he is in love with both her and his girlfriend, Han Suna. On April 3, Ji-woo tells Suna, who gets drunk to cope with the shock. Leon finds her on the morning of April 4 sleeping on his favorite park bench. As Suna leaves, she breaks the heel off her shoe, and her co-worker and friend, Nam Sang-soo, takes her shoes for repair.
Captivated by Suna, Leon recognizes her shoes, and on April 5, he begins secretly following her home after her shift ends to make sure she arrives safely. Meanwhile, Sang-soo, who has fallen in love with Kokaze, asks Kanako to translate a love letter he is writing to her. As Kanako does so, Arakawa suggests that they separate, as he and her parents feel that his injury is burdening her. On April 6, Sang-soo picks up the repaired shoes, and, suspicious of Leon's sudden change in behavior, Kokaze begins following him in secret. On April 8, Sang-soo finishes writing his letter and gives it to Kokaze on April 9.
While Ji-woo sorts out his confused feelings with Kanako, he also encourages her to make up with Arakawa. Suna begins looking for the park where she met Leon and admits to Sang-soo later that night that she hopes to meet him again. She drunkenly kisses him when he takes her home, and after he leaves, she continues to describe her feelings to Leon himself, mistaking him for Sang-soo. When Leon confides in her his guilt towards Arakawa's accident, believing he doesn't deserve to be happy, Suna encourages him to move forward. After their conversation, Leon stops following her home.
On April 13, Kokaze turns down Sang-soo's confession because of her feelings for Leon. She and Sang-soo piece together that Leon is attracted to Suna, but Sang-soo believes that he has stopped following her because he had seen them kiss. Unaware that the person Suna is looking for is Leon, Kokaze suggests helping her, believing that Suna's inevitable rejection will allow Leon the chance to pursue her. On April 16, Kokaze and Sang-soo help Suna look for the park to no avail, to which Suna concludes that she may never see Leon again. In the evening, she confronts Ji-woo about her newfound feelings for Leon and suggests breaking up, hoping to confirm he still cares for her.
Kanako and Arakawa reconcile and decide to get married. They visit the shoe shop on April 17 to buy Kanako a new pair of shoes. Leon is overcome with relief that Kanako and Arakawa are still happily in love and have forgiven him. At the same time, Suna and Ji-woo make up and decide to stay together. Recalling Suna's advice from earlier, Leon finally reveals himself to personally thank her. When he returns to the shoe shop, he tells Kokaze that he's changed because he fell in love.

In Imperial China, a peace-loving soldier named Jinbao has heard about Merryland from his grandfather who gave him a necklace he got. His Captain states that the world won't be at peace. During an attack on their camp, Jinbao runs off the cliff and finds himself in Merryland in the form of the giant panda. When falling out the sky, he is saved by Flying Pig. Jinbao learns about Merryland and how it is ruled by an evil master and his Phantom Army as well as the prophecy of the Panda Warrior.
While traveling through the forest, they are attacked by a giant spider. Then they spar with Mantis who becomes their ally. Arriving at a village of onion creatures, they find it attacked by the Phantom Army which is led by a pyrokinetic tree spirit named Charcoal. With help from Flying Pig claiming that Charcoal insulted his grandfather, Jinbao subdues Charcoal in the nearby water. A Ginseng Spirit arrives and plays the Song of Peace to purify it. Jinbao learns from the Ginseng Spirit that he must rest in order to have the energy to do the Song of Peace. Now purified, Charcoal joins up with Jinbao.
Traveling through the field, Jinbao, Flying Pig, Mantis, and Charcoal are attacked by the Phantom Army's general Cattle. They are joined by Flying Pig's fellow rebels Cotton Sheep Sister, Steel Mouth Chicken, Horse, Big-Eyed Monkey, Golden Retriever, and Big-Eared Rabbit. Despite the difficulty, the group manages to knock Cattle off a cliff. Jinbao gets to know each of the members where he did annoy Horse by stating that he looks more like a hippopotamus than a horse.
The group arrives at the headquarters of the rebellion where they meet with Lion King. When he sees Jinbao, Lion King states that Jinbao is not the Panda Warrior of Legend. The history is that Merryland is guarded by the heavenly sperm whales Hope and Faith. When Hope absorbed too much of the Dragon Ball of Light, a warrior from Earth appeared and became the Panda Warrior. Jinbao figures out that the Panda Warrior is his grandfather. When his grandfather defeated Hope and returned to his world with the necklace from Merryland's ruler Princess Angelica, an evil rat from another world arrived in Merryland where he took control of Hope's body and turned it into a Nine-Headed Snake in order to enslave Merryland. Jinbao asks for Lion King to train him. Despite many painful and comical outcomes, Jinbao passes the training.
Jinbao and Charcoal pay a visit to the Fox Elder in order to find the Nine-Headed Snake's lair where he is keeping Princess Angelica captive. After getting a stone that came off the lair and a piece of paper to use for emergencies, Jinbao and Charcoal find Cotton Sheep Sister who states that the other rebels have been captured by the Phantom Army. Once they have found the Nine-Headed Snake's lair, the three of them are attacked by a corrupted Flying Pig who they knocked out. Traveling through the caves, Jinbao, Charcoal, and Cotton Sheep Sister are attacked by the corrupted rebels and brought to Cattle. It is then revealed that the rebels faked being corrupted as they attack Cattle. Once Cattle is restrained, the Ginseng Spirit arrives and plays his Song of Peace to purify Cattle. Now purified, Cattle joins up with the rebels to rescue Princess Angelica.
As the group gets further into the Nine-Headed Snake's lair, they are attacked by the Nine-Headed Snake. Each of them tries to attack the Nine-Headed Snake only to fail because his heads can regenerate. Charcoal sacrifices himself to buy everyone else time to get to Princess Angelica. Big-Eyed Monkey reads from the partially-burned paper that one must be sacrificed to save everyone. They find her chained over the water that is filled with evil poison that is slowly corrupting the Dragon Ball of Light. Cattle starts to make up for his mistake by traversing the poison water to rescue Princess Angelica as he is the only one who can break the chains. Cattle collapses as Jinbao hopes that he'll recover. When the Nine-Headed Snake starts to catch up to them, Mantis appears and has dug a hole for everyone to escape through. Cattle buys everyone time to get out. The Nine-Headed Snake starts to tunnel after them as his flying lair collapses.
When morning comes, Steel Mouth Chicken crows at the sight of the sun. As Jinbao faces the Nine-Headed Snake, a recovering Princess Angelica states that the Nine-Headed Snake is at his weakest during the day. The rebels join the fight against the Nine-Headed Snake. The Ginseng Spirit shows up and plays his Song of Peace to weaken the Nine-Headed Snake. Faith shows up to help as she restores the land, purifies the Phantom Army, and even revives Cattle and Charcoal. The rebels then do a combo attack against its heads in order to defeat it while getting entangled. Cotton Sheep Sister attacks the Wind Head, Horse attacks the Water Head, Mantis attacks the Ice Head, Big-Eared Rabbit attacks the Fire Head, Big-Eyed Monkey attacks the Electric Head, Flying Pig attacks the Poison Head, Golden Retriever attacks the Spear Head, Steel Mouth Chicken attacks the Bewitching Head, and Jinbao attacks the main head. The final blow breaks the Nine-Headed Snake as the evil rat emerges and flees Merryland.
What's left of the Nine-Headed Snake is restored to Hope as she rejoins Faith in the sky. Princess Angelica gives them the Dragon Ball of Light as she states that Hope and Faith will continue to guard Merryland. Everyone celebrates their victory.
During the credits, Jinbao is back on Earth as he spars with his Captain using the moves that he learned in Merryland as well as drinking Chinese alcohol. Their sparring ends in a draw.

Isabel Aretas, widow of drug kingpin Benito, escapes from a Mexican prison with the aid of her son Armando. Isabel sends Armando to Miami, tasking him with recovering a substantial stash of money his father Benito had hidden, as well as assassinating the people responsible for his father's arrest and eventual death in prison. Isabel demands that Armando should also kill Detective Mike Lowrey, who is settled in Miami. Mike accompanies his partner Marcus Burnett to the birth of his first grandson.
Desiring to spend more time with his family, the aging Marcus tells Mike he intends to retire, to Mike's chagrin. During a party celebrating Marcus's grandson, Mike is shot by Armando and left in a coma for months. Chastised by Isabel for targeting Mike first, Armando continues to assassinate other targets on his list during Mike's convalescence. Following Mike's recovery, he is determined to seek revenge and unsuccessfully attempts to recruit the now-retired Marcus, causing a fall out between them.
Mike violently obtains the identity of arms dealer Booker Grassie from an informant. Realizing that Mike will not heed orders to stay away from the investigation, Captain Howard reluctantly allows him to work with the tech-driven team in charge, the ''Advanced Miami Metro Operations'' (A.M.M.O.), led by Mike's ex-girlfriend Rita. While the team surveils Grassie at an arms deal, Mike determines that the buyers intend to kill Grassie and intervenes, but fails to save him. Later, Marcus is called by Carver Remy, an old informant who believes the assassin is after him.
Marcus contacts Mike and the pair travel to Carver, but are too late to save him. Armando escapes after a fistfight with Mike. Captain Howard later reveals his intentions to retire as well, offering advice to Mike that he needs to find a path forward in life. He is abruptly assassinated by Armando moments later. The captain's death pulls Marcus out of retirement, but he intends to work as a team with A.M.M.O. They track down Grassie's accountant, who leads them to Lorenzo "Zway-Lo" Rodriguez.

Before partnering with Marcus, Mike worked as an undercover officer in the Aretas cartel where he met Isabel. They fell in love and intended to run away together, using "Hasta el fuego" as a made-up secret catchphrase.
Mike ultimately remained loyal to the police, realizing how dangerous Isabel had become. Despite Mike's opposition, Marcus and A.M.M.O. join him in Mexico City to confront her. At the Hidalgo Palace, Mike meets Isabel and scolds her for concealing the truth from him. A shootout quickly ensues between A.M.M.O. and Isabel's men. Marcus shoots the pilot of Isabel's support helicopter, causing it to crash into the central lobby, starting a fire. Marcus confronts Isabel, while Mike tries to explain the truth to Armando. Armando begins to beat up Mike, but he refuses to retaliate.
Demanding the truth from his mother, Isabel confirms to Armando that Mike is his father. Realizing the task he spent a lifetime training for was a lie, Armando tries to protect his father, leading to Isabel inadvertently shooting Armando in the chest while aiming for Mike. Enraged, she attempts to finish Mike, but Rita intervenes and shoots Isabel, sending her falling to her death into the flames below. Sometime later, Rita has been promoted to Captain, while Mike and Marcus are placed in charge of A.M.M.O. Mike visits a remorseful Armando in prison, offering him a chance to earn some redemption, which he accepts.

College freshman Jack returns to his home in the New York suburbs, in the wake of his dog Stella's imminent death. En route, he notices a girl on the subway he recognizes from a party, whom he had been infatuated with. He reunites happily with his younger brother Oliver, along with his mother Sally and her boyfriend Ron, who disapproves of the boys’ raunchy and cavalier rhetoric towards their mother despite them both being devoted to her. Oliver later introduces his girlfriend Violet, a ballet dancer, who turns out to be the girl from the train.

The entire movie is shown through a single screencast recorded by an unknown individual. The user views a series of vlogs made by DropTheMike, a controversial vlogger who disappeared shortly after visiting the Lennox Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The user repeatedly receives messages from friends of Mike, most of which the user ignores.
DropTheMike receives a sponsorship offer for $250,000 dollars if he gains 50,000 new subscribers. Mike decides to spend the Halloween weekend at the Lennox Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The hotel has been plagued by tens of suicides and murders since its founding. Most recently, Korean tourist Meghan Kim’s burned corpse was found in the hotel’s boiler room after security camera footage showed her acting erratically in the hotel elevator.
Mike interviews Wallace Fleischer, an author who tells him about David Olmos, a serial killer and Satanist who resided at the Lennox Hotel in the '80s. The next day, DropTheMike, Nic (his editor), Chris (Mike’s religious director of photography), and Dani (sound and camera, and Chris' friend and unrequited love) arrive at the Hotel. Mike, Dani, and Chris reside on the top floor in the room where Olmos committed his murders while Nic resides next door to edit the vlogs.
On the second day, Mike and his crew attempt to enter the basement to reach the boiler room, losing their drone when they place it through the chained doors. A security guard, Tony catches them, but reveals he is a fan of Mike and promises to give them the key to the basement.
Mike then researches the “Elevator Game” in which one enters an elevator alone and presses floors in a specific sequence, they will enter another dimension. Concluding Meghan Kim attempted the ritual, Mike plays the game alone and seemingly encounters Kim’s ghost. DropTheMike brushes the encounter off as an obsessive fan. After hearing ghostly knocking from their front door, Mike receives a Skype call from Jess, his fiancée, who announces her pregnancy to Mike. Shortly after celebrating, Chris checks in on Nic, finding her in a disturbed, self-harmful state. After seeing a decapitated ghost in the hallway, Chris calls for Mike and Dani, and follow the ghost to the hotel roof. There, they find a satanic altar above their room with a platter holding an animal’s tongue.
After the vlog, the mysterious user uploads the third night onto DropTheMike’s channel. Mike seemingly recognizes a ghostly child in the hallway and proceeds to chase it. While Mike is gone, Chris and Dani are chased by the hacksaw-wielding ghost of Olmos. When Mike attempts to follow the child to Room 440, he finds himself teleported back to the top floor.
DropTheMike calls Wallace, who tells him that Room 440 belonged to a police detective who, after residing in the hotel, murdered his wife and brought his two sons to the hotel. After killing the eldest son, the detective chased the youngest son to the boiler room. The detective was then killed by a maintenance man who encountered the son. After the interview, Chris is attacked in the bathroom by a ghost from his childhood, and leaves the Hotel. Mike convinces Dani to stay, revealing that he was an adopted child.
After witnessing an elderly woman jump from the hotel window, Mike and Dani are chased by a drug dealer they had filmed earlier, and are both saved by Chris. A traumatized Dani leaves with Chris. Mike checks in on Nic and stops her from jumping out of the window of her room. DropTheMike then returns a delirious Nic to her mother and sister. Now alone in the hotel, Mike receives the basement key from Tony. Mike decides to proceed to the boiler room, despite receiving a call from Jess pleading for him to come home. Starting a livestream, DropTheMike receives a garbled phone call from Wallace, who reveals that Mike is the biological son of the police detective.
Mike enters the boiler room and finds the missing drone above where Kim’s corpse was. Following ghostly sounds, Mike finds a laptop displaying his broadcast in real time and Tony’s notebook, which is filled with occult imagery. Mike is then chased by various ghosts from the hotel, finds a dead body, and runs out of the hotel in a panic.
Back home, DropTheMike starts a livestream where he announces that he will be on a hiatus. He also states his plans to make a documentary on the homeless situation in downtown Los Angeles, feeling a need to put something more positive out into the world. Shortly afterward, his power goes out. Finding his house surrounded by shadow people, Mike is confronted by Tony and Kim, who hand him his fiancée’s severed head. Mike shortly afterward disappears.
The user then views the channel of TerribleTyler, a young vlogger who announces his plans to break into DropTheMike’s house to investigate. Under Mike’s account, the user posts a comment on the video stating “Can't wait to meet you, Tyler :)”. As the comment section ponder about Mike’s supposed return, the user logs off, revealing Mike’s blurred face on the laptop’s camera.
The fairy tale by Hacks reflects the situation of a divided Germany in the Cold War. It tells of a bird (''Schuhu'') which can cross borders without problems. The opera has been called a ''Parabel über Sehnsucht nach Liebe und Glück in anachronistischen Verhältnissen'' (parable about the desire for love and happiness under anachronistic circumstances).
The wife of a poor tailor delivers her tenth child, which is not a baby but an egg, from which a ''Schuhu'' (bird-man) emerges. It can magically turn little into plenty ("aus wenig viel"). The mayor is interested and buys the Schuhu from his father, but as the Schuhu also makes bad things worse, he soon wants rid of it. The Schuhu, unwanted even by its parents, sets off on a series of adventures, first being turned away by the Grand Duke of Coburg-Gotha and then being hired by the Emperor of Mesopotamia as a nightwatchman. He meets the Flying Princess, daughter of the King of Tripoli, and they fall in love. Both the Grand Duke and the Emperor also compete for the Princess, and join their armies to fight the Schuhu. He wins her, but she soon elopes with a Dutchman for a season, before returning to the Schuhu and following him to a new-found land.

In the prologue, a Grisha named Emil Retvenko is kidnapped by a winged Shu man.
The book begins in a gambling parlor named Club Cumulus, where Jesper and Nina keep Jan Van Eck's lawyer, Cornelis Smeet, busy while Kaz and Wylan search his office for Van Eck's property documents. Kaz then plans to kidnap Van Eck’s pregnant young wife, Alys, and trade her for Inej, who is being held captive. Meanwhile, Jesper’s father, Colm, arrives at the city, as a bank Jesper owes demands he pays his debts. When Jesper and Wylan go to meet Colm, they are attacked but manage to escape. Kaz tells Jesper's father to give them three days to get the money and asks him to wait in a hotel in the city.
Afterward, the crew's kidnapping is successful, and they trade Van Eck's wife for Inej. However, during the trade, three Shu soldiers with superhuman abilities attack Nina, Jesper, and other Grisha in the surrounding area. They manage to get away after Nina shoots one of them in the eye, and Wylan sets another on fire. The crew meets at their hideout, and Kaz reveals he had bought shares in sugar companies and plans to sabotage Van Eck’s sugar silos using a chemical weevil, thereby raising the price of sugar. Nina and Inej persuade Kaz to smuggle out the remaining Grisha in the city using one of Van Eck’s ships.
While Kaz and Wylan attempt to steal the seal they need from the Van Eck house, Nina and Inej infiltrate the sugar silos. However, all of them are attacked, and it is revealed that Pekka Rollins had allied with Van Eck. Pekka also attacks the hideout Kaz was using to hide Kuwei, where Jesper and Matthias were guarding him. They all escape and meet at the hotel where Colm is staying. Nina shows the group her strange and eerie new abilities to control dead bodies; she, Wylan, and Kuwei guess that it might be a result of her surviving withdrawal of ''jurda parem''. They also learn Van Eck had deputized all the gangs in the Barrel, leaving them with few allies; Anika and Keeg but no means of escape. Kaz puts together another plan and declares an auction for the indenture of Kuwei.
In the auction the Fjerdans, Ravkans, The Shu, and The Zemeni bid for Kuwei. Kaz disguises the Grisha from the embassy as the Council of Tides. They claim that the auction is biased because Van Eck funded the Shu delegation. The Merchant Council believes that Van Eck had swindled them. The money was, in fact, channeled to the Crows by scamming the Merchant Council. Van Eck is arrested and his reputation destroyed. They manage to fake Kuwei's death and smuggle him out of the city with the Ravkans where he will try to find an antidote to ''jurda parem''. During the job, Matthias is shot by a young ''drüskelle'' and later dies. Kaz bluffs Pekka into believing that he has his son buried alive. Pekka then leaves the city in search of his son. With Van Eck gone, Wylan inherits the properties of his family. Jesper lives with Wylan and helps him handle the business but agrees that he will train with a Fabrikator to develop his power as Grisha.
In the final chapters, Kaz finds Inej's parents with the help of Sturmhond and brings them to Ketterdam. He is threatened by the real Council of Tides. Inej threatens Pekka out of his business in her first move against the people active in Ketterdam's slave trade.
The film is set in 17th-century Angola and presents the true story of Queen Njinga Mbandi. While her father is king, she trains in military strategy.

Plunged into despair by the results of the 2016 presidential election, veteran Democratic Party campaign consultant Gary Zimmer is shown a viral video of retired Marine Col. Jack Hastings giving a speech standing up for the undocumented immigrant population of his hometown of Deerlaken, Wisconsin. Calculating that getting Hastings elected as a Democrat in Deerlaken's upcoming mayoral election will help him convince the American people in the heartland to vote Democrat in the next presidential election, Zimmer travels to Wisconsin to persuade Hastings to run. Arriving in Deerlaken, Gary experiences the vast cultural divide between his home of Washington, D.C. and the townspeople's more rural mannerisms and political beliefs.
Gary soon meets Hastings and his daughter Diana and pitches his idea. Hastings initially declines, considering himself more of a conservative and having no real interest in politics, but later relents and agrees to run under the condition that Gary serve as his campaign manager. Hastings recruits his friends and neighbors as volunteers for the campaign. However, setbacks soon arise such as limited Wi-Fi, xenophobia, social conservatism, and the fact that the incumbent mayor, Braun, is being funded by the Republican National Committee. The RNC also sends down Faith Brewster, Gary's nemesis, to counter Gary.
As the race heats up, Gary takes Jack to New York City so they can recruit fundraisers for the campaign to match Faith's money and resources. Jack gives a powerful speech to the possible donors about how he needs their help for his small town, which inspires Gary. Their donations allow Gary to upgrade their campaigning methods. Soon the election polls show the two candidates neck-and-neck, although the Hastings campaign takes a dive when one of Gary's team members advertises a pro-contraceptive platform to a group of single women who turn out to be nuns. When Gary starts berating his teammates, Diana convinces him to apologize and that if he is going to run her father's campaign, he needs to be nice.
When it starts to look like Faith and Braun are going to win, Gary tries to convince Jack and Diana to play dirty and start exploiting Braun's skeletons. Diana is horrified that Gary would play dirty and secretly goes to Braun for advice. The two decide to secretly reveal a bigger scandal about Braun so Gary will not go after Braun's brother, which was his original plan. The scandal, however, proves to be false.
On Election Day, no one votes, which confuses both Gary and Faith. It quickly becomes clear that the election was actually a setup. Diana reveals she masterminded the entire scheme, filming the video of her father's immigration speech (which was carefully scripted) so that the Democrats and Republicans would pour thousands of dollars into the election; the town has been quietly siphoning the money to get through its financial troubles due to the recent closure of a nearby military base. Gary is shocked that Diana would play him and Diana then counters by explaining the town had no choice but to set him up because D.C. politicians play small towns like theirs all the time while doing nothing to help when times are tough. When Gary reveals that he has feelings for Diana, she rejects him.
Later, Diana becomes the mayor of Deerlaken after a special election.
The film ends with three alternative scenes, each with its own set of cast credits: Gary and Diana embrace at a construction site for a new public building; Gary and Faith kiss and discuss their investment portfolio in their house kitchen; and Gary and the local Pastry chef embrace in bed, discussing plans for a new bakery. A post-credits scene shows a short interview with an official of the Federal Election Commission, discussing the shortcomings of oversight over elections fund-raising.
British teenager Everett Singh witnesses the kidnapping of his father, theoretical physicist Dr. Tejendra Singh, and begins to suspect a conspiracy when he receives from his father an automated software download called the Infundibulum. Tejendra's colleague, the offbeat research fellow Colette Harte, gives Everett video evidence that Tejendra's theoretical research into the existence of multiple universes is no longer theoretical. Using Heisenberg Gate technology, Tejendra and his team have discovered and contacted nine alternate universes so far. An alliance called the Plenitude of Known Worlds is already in place among the government leaders from these parallel universes—termed planes—which have been numbered E1 through E9, with Everett's plane labeled E10. Before Tejendra's disappearance, he discovered a map of the seemingly infinite number of planes: the Infundibulum. Everett deduces how to manipulate the Infundibulum thanks to a clue from his father, and lets its existence be known to the mysterious people who have been pursuing him in search of it. He is taken by the glamorous but sinister Charlotte Villiers—the Plenipotentiary/ambassador of E3—to the underground bunker where his universe's Heisenberg Gate is located. During a demonstration of his ability to choose any destination in any plane, Everett escapes through the Gate to E3, where Charlotte has put Tejendra to work on the Gate technology.
E3 is an Earth without oil, where giant airships dominate shipping and transportation. Plastic does not exist, but E3 has developed nanotechnology that allows the use of carbon fiber in many applications. Everett meets and is taken in by Sen, the willful adopted daughter of Captain Anastasia Sixsmyth of the airship ''Everness''. Sen is the ship's pilot, Mchynlyth is the engineer, and Miles O'Rahilly Lafayette Sharkey is the weighmaster. Hired as Sixsmyth's chef, Everett enlists Sen to infiltrate Charlotte's headquarters, the Tyrone Tower, to determine where Tejendra is being held. This leads Charlotte—brandishing a jumpgun, a weapon capable of shooting people into a random other plane—to Hackney Great Port, where the ''Everness'' is moored. She and her team are rebuffed by a mob, and the ''Everness'' leaves for the Goodwin Sands, where Sixsmyth has been challenged to an airship duel by one of her enemies, the arrogant matriarch Ma Bromley. Everett helps sabotage Bromley's airship, and a thankful Sixsmyth agrees to help him save his father. The ''Everness'' crew break into the Tyrone Tower on zip-lines and the Singhs are reunited, but Charlotte arrives with her jumpgun and demands the Infundibulum. Everett places his laptop in front of her, and she decides to be rid of the Singhs forever. Charlotte jumps Tejendra to an unknown plane, but Sen intervenes before Charlotte can do the same to Everett. He grabs his computer and Charlotte's jumpgun, and escapes to the ''Everness'' with the crew. They are soon intercepted by Charlotte, who has commandeered a Royal Air Navy carrier. Everett uses the jumpgun to jump the entirety of the ''Everness'' to another plane, and they find themselves in a frozen tundra, with ice and snow as far as the eye can see.

Violet is quietly dealing with survivor's guilt after the death of her sister Eleanor and Finch is a loner, called a freak by other students. They meet on the bridge where Eleanor died in a car crash nine months earlier. Violet survived the crash, and has not been in a car since. She finds herself standing on the ledge of the bridge on what would have been Eleanor's nineteenth birthday. Finch, out for a run, sees Violet on the ledge and climbs up next to her, talking her down from a possible suicide.
Finch begins a partnership with Violet for a school project that requires the students to explore Indiana together. Later, at home, Finch looks up Violet on Facebook, researching her sister's car accident, reading through Violet's old writing, and chatting with her online. Finch and Violet travel around Indiana to see sites chosen by him for the project. Violet refuses to travel by car, so they bike to the highest point in Indiana. However, to visit a miniature roller coaster too far away to bike to, Violet agrees to get in his car. She returns to writing, for the first time since Eleanor's death. He helps her talk about her sister, which no one else had managed to do. Violet slowly begins to heal. They fall in love.
However, Finch's behavior becomes more erratic. He sometimes disappears for days at a time without contacting anyone. One day, while he and Violet are swimming at the Blue Hole, he disappears under the water. By the time he resurfaces, Violet is distraught and pushes him to tell her more about himself, threatening to leave if he doesn't comply. He reveals that he had been physically abused by his father as a child, and that his mother is absent in his life.
On one occasion, Finch and Violet stay out all night by accident, upsetting Violet's parents.

There, he runs into Amanda, Violet’s friend, who opens up to the group about her bulimia and two suicide attempts. Once Violet leaves the school, she heads to Finch's house. Since he is still at the meeting, she talks with Finch's sister, Kate, who then leaves for work. While she is working, at a bar, Finch enters and prompts her to talk about their father. This causes her to worry about him, though he reassures her. He leaves for their house, where Violet is waiting. In his room, she begs him to open up to her. He shouts at her to leave.
Finch disappears again. Violet tells her father how she and Finch met, and expresses her concern over his latest disappearance. He suggests she check in places they had visited together. She drives to the Blue Hole, where she finds Finch's clothes and phone abandoned, and correctly infers that he has drowned. Some time later, she attends his funeral.
While healing from Finch's suicide, Violet finds the map they used for travel around Indiana, and notices the last location they were supposed to visit together marked in red. It's the Travelers' Prayers Chapel, a resting place for travelers and a place of healing for mourners. She finds his signature in the guest book.
With Finch gone, Violet must present their school project alone. She reads aloud her writing on the lessons Finch taught her. In the last scene, Violet swims by herself in the Blue Hole.

The story revolves around a beautiful and idealist girl, Noori. Noori belongs to a poor family. Her parents live by picking garbage from streets, therefore she is uncomfortable with the environment around her. She rejects her parents' lifestyle and wishes for a better and respectable life. To fulfill this wish of hers, she moves to a city and starts a respectable living by working in a factory. In this journey, she learns of Sahir and Bhola. Sahir is a greedy young man, who works in a shop and wishes for a better future; whereas, mentally weak and childlike Bhola owns a mansion and agricultural land in a village, (which his paternal uncle, Nusrat Chacha, takes care of). Bhola is loved deeply by his mother, Fehmida. Sahir and Bhola both get attached to Noor Bano's life, one which is by total deceit and the other is an ordeal.
Sahir is not serious about Noori, but Noori is always daydreaming about her marriage with Sahir. Noori somehow convinces him to marry her, to which he nonchalantly agrees. One day, when Noori comes to visit Sahir, she sees that there is some investigation going on and becomes worried when Sahir is found guilty of stealing money from the shop he works in. The police demands ransom for Sahir's release and Noori is thinking of the ways she could get the money. When Noori asks her baji for money, she refuses and her husband also sexually harasses Noori by offering her money to be with him. Noori confronts the factory owner and says she doesn't want his money and quits working at the factory.
She steals her Baji's jewelry to pay for Sahir's release. Afterwards, Sahir gets released, whereas Noori is jailed for stealing the jewellery. Noori's father makes a deal with Shokha, an aged smuggler, to free his daughter and marry her. On the other hand, Noori threatens her former boss to either take back the case or she will expose him. The Haji (former boss) does it and Noori is free. However, she still has to get rid of Shokha, so she runs away and goes to Sahir, who is arranging to leave the city. Sahir refuses to marry her, (as he was not sincere with his intentions), saying that she had spent a night in the lock-up and who knows if any lustful policeman had disgraced her. Noori, heartbroken, returns to her mentor, Amma Jannate's house. She asks Amma Jannate to help her because she doesn't want to marry Shokha and is considering suicide. Amma Jannate tells her the only way out is to wed, which will also fulfill her desire of living a respectable life.
The person Amma Jannate is talking about is actually Bhola, but Noori isn't aware of it until after her marriage. Has all this happened to her for good and a better future? Initially, Noori can't stand him, even feeling for Bhola. She then realizes that Sahir is a Cunning and Deceitful greedy man and she wouldn't want anyone else to have him as a life partner so in an attempt to break Komal and Sahir’s alliance and she exposes him to everyone and succeeds. It is revealed that 23 years ago Bhola’s mother made a wish at the Mazhar and she will sacrifice him and give him to a Peer. And it was her belief that if you arent having any children but as soon as you have your first child and you leave it at the Mazhar you will have many more, but her heart doesnt listen and she doesnt leave him at the Mazhar and then she never had any other children and Bhola became mentally ill and her husband died. She misunderstands the situation as the Peer being angry and that is the cause of the whole problem and says that if Bhola and Noori have any children she will leave the first one at the Mazhar but her daughter in law Noori explains to her that this can happen to anyone and we should not associate partners with Allah (God) and that if you have a child that is because of God and not a Peer at a Mazhar and that she is doing Shirk. Noori tries to get away from Bhola, but later she develops love, care, and empathy for him, due to his innocence and pure love for her. This intense story develops from there, and so does Noori and Bhola's unconventional romantic relationship. It ends with Bhola’s mental condition becoming mostly fine and then she has a baby boy who Bhola refuses to meet as he is afraid of him being like Bhola, but when Noori convinces him to see his baby, he kisses him on the forehead and starts to cry.
Jacob Rathbone is a 12-year-old boy with a fear of the dark who lives with his stepfather, Davis and his mother, Isabel, who is frustrated with her son’s frequent night terrors. After being discovered dancing while dressed in his late grandmother’s dress and being suspended from his school (after being bullied for his obsession with his late grandmother), Jacob is sent away to a boarding school in the wilderness governed by the eccentric couple, Dr. and Mrs. Sherman. He meets his classmates: twins Lenny and Calvin, and social outcasts like disfigured burn survivor Phil, Tourette's sufferer Frederic, autistic Elwood Ramsay, and manipulative Christine Holcomb, the daughter of Davis’ boss, Mr. Holcomb (whom Jacob met on one evening when he and his parents had dinner with her family). Their classes are administered under Dr. Sherman’s strict regime that consists of a Bible Studies curriculum and corporal punishments.
Not long after, Frederic is discovered dead half-naked in the bathroom in apparent suicide by hanging. Christine uses this opportunity to flee the school with Jacob, only to be caught and brought back. Dr. Sherman reveals that Christine was sent there as a result of having murdered her older brother, Timothy, and driving her mother to commit suicide over the tragedy. Christine lures Jacob to her room, where she confesses to talking Frederic into trying out autoerotic asphyxiation and pushing him to death to divert everybody’s attention so she could escape. She blackmails Jacob into dancing with her, during which she attempts to stab him with a pair of scissors but is overpowered by him. In a display of her masochistic tendencies, she professes her love for him and claims she wanted to provoke Jacob into beating her up.
Jacob later finds Elwood dead in bed. An argument between Dr. and Mrs. Sherman — whose real identity is Lynn Adams — reveals that it was she who had murdered Elwood, and that the children will all die that night. He finds the bodies of the real Dr. and Mrs. Sherman and Frederic stashed in the freezer in the basement. A conversation between Mrs. Ramsay and Dr. Sherman suggests a prior arrangement where, being unable to cope with Elwood’s condition, Mrs. Ramsay had sent him there to be killed off seemingly in an accident — a fate that awaits all the other children. Ms. Adams stabs Mrs. Ramsay to death; Dr. Sherman slits Ms. Adams’ throat and kills the groundskeeper.
Dr. Sherman reveals to Jacob that he has been contract killing since he was around Jacob’s age, and his plan is to have everyone in the house killed in a fire. Jacob also finds out that it was his stepfather, Davis, who had him sent there to rid himself and Isabel of him. Jacob manages to bludgeon Dr. Sherman to death and set him on fire.
He evacuates everyone from the house except Christine, whom he leaves for dead as a way of avenging Frederic's death. Having declared his love for Christine, Jacob peels off his dress, showing his true, naked self to his friends for the first time. Now rescued, the children reunite with their parents, as Jacob whispers to Phil's father that he knows of his intention, and promises to make him regret it if anything happens to Phil.
Throughout the film, the audience is shown flashbacks where, being forced into hiding during World War II, Jacob's grandmother Feiga, a recluse, sharpened her teeth with a nail file, while her compatriot, Tsipi was frequently raped and tortured by a Nazi soldier in exchange for her life. Back at home, having finally overcome his fear of the dark, Jacob waits as Isabel’s terrified screams are heard from the dinner table. Davis dies from ingesting poisoned wine (tainted by the same poison Dr. Sherman used to attempt to kill Mrs. Ramsay). Jacob taints his lips red with blood, mirroring Feiga ripping out the Nazi’s throat with her fangs; suggesting that just like Feiga, hardships have made him a fighter albeit a monster.

Returning from a summit of Northern rulers to debate on how to deal with the matter of Nilfgaard's aggression, Meve reaches Lyria after a long travel. She is met by Count Caldwell, who informs her that the nearby towns have been terrorized by a notorious bandit named Gascon. Meve defeats Gascon in battle and captures him alive, only to receive the news that the armies of Nilfgaard have crossed the river Yaruga and begun another invasion of the North. Meve immediately convenes a council of Rivian and Lyrian nobles to decide how to respond. Though favoring open warfare, Meve is overruled by Caldwell, who reveals that the aristocracy have reached an agreement with Duke Ardal aep Dahy for Rivia's and Lyria's immediate surrender. When Meve refuses, Caldwell has Meve arrested and detained, replacing her with her eldest son Prince Villem as the regent. Meve and the loyal captain Reynard are thrown in the dungeons, where Meve is unexpectedly freed by Gascon. The three flee Lyria and make way for Aedirn.
In Aedirn, Meve encounters the Aedirnian captain Black Rayla (Caroline Catz), and rescues her from the elven rebels known as the Scoia'tael, as well as the sorceress Isbel of Hagge (Susan Brown). They find Demavend under siege and assist in his escape from Aedirn, but with the Aedirnian forces defeated by Nilfgaard, Meve did not get the military support she had hoped for. Instead, Demavend advises her to travel to the Dwarf kingdom of Mahakam and gives her a leaden ring that will guarantee an audience with the Dwarf ruler, the Clan-Chief Brouver Hoog. In Mahakam, Meve encounters the Dwarf explorer Gabor Zigrin (Gordon Cooper) and gnomish inventor Barnabas Beckenbauer (Matthew Gravelle). Meve is granted her audience with Brouver, who at first rejects her pleas for assistance against Nilfgaard, but changes his mind after they are attacked by Scoia'tael and enlists a small company of Dwarf warriors for her aid.
Now with a sizable force of Lyrian loyalists, Gascon's marauders, and Dwarf warriors, Meve decides to strike at Nilfgaard directly and attack the forces commanded by Caldwell, currently garrisoned in the lowland county of Angren. In the swamps, Meve discovers the truth that both her chief advisors, Reynard and Gascon, are both traitors who have betrayed her to Nilfgaard: Reynard has been in secret correspondence with now-King Villem hoping to reconcile the two, while Gascon has been hoping to trade Meve's life for his own freedom. Both claim to be truly loyal to her; Meve can forgive or banish either or both. After reaching and killing Caldwell, Meve flees deeper into the swamp to avoid Nilfgaardian reinforcements, and enters the realm of a dangerous monster known as Gernichora, whom she kills. Unable to find an alternate way out of the swamp, Meve is forced to fight the reinforcing Nilfgaardian army in a hopeless frontal assault. During the battle, Meve receives the unexpected help of the witcher Geralt (Doug Cockle), who had also been attempting to find an escape from the swamps. The Nilfgaardian army is defeated, and after their victory Meve knights Geralt, thus granting him his "of Rivia" title.
Meve returns to Rivia as a liberator, meets with King Villem to discuss a possible parlay, and can either forgive him and thus gain him as an ally and heir, refuse to forgive him and maintain him as an enemy, or violate the terms of their meeting and have him captured and kept as a prisoner. Marching on to Rivia Castle, where Ardal is garrisoned with his army, Meve at first intends to lay siege to the keep but then learns from aep Dahy that another Nilfgaardian army is reinforcing and imminent. Meve realizes her only chance of victory is to storm the castle. Either Reynard or Gascon goes on a suicide mission to infiltrate the keep and open the gate and dies in the attempt, or Villem if he was allowed to leave the meeting as an enemy will sacrifice himself to open the gate, and Meve's army enters and defeats Ardal's force, though the Duke himself escapes. Meve is restored to rule over Rivia and Lyria, marking the turn of the tide of war against Nilfgaard.
Returning to Aedirn, Meve meets with Demavend and King Henselt of Kaedwen, preparing to face Ardal's army and decide the fate of the Northern Realms. Unexpectedly capturing a small Nilfgaardian force led by a man named Caldwyn, Meve discovers that Caldwyn is a messenger sent by the Emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emreis, with secret orders forcing aep Dahy to poison himself as punishment for his failure to conquer the North. Meve allows Caldwyn to proceed with his mission, resulting in the death of Duke Ardal aep Dahy, and then the three rulers crush the Nilfgaardian army in Aedirn, thus ending the war. The narrator of the story, a man called the Storyteller, is then revealed to be Borch Three Jackdaws (Timothy Watson), who finishes the tale by recounting the fates of Meve and all of her companions gained throughout this journey.

Devastated, Maria goes into the bathroom to find Airam. Their palms and lips touch, allowing them to switch places. Her mother Amy has a nightmare about giving birth.
At school, Airam is visibly more confident than Maria, even standing up to Mark. She then arranges for Amy to run into her husband's mistress as a way of forcing her to acknowledge Dan's affairs and their superficial marriage. Maria, now stuck in the mirror, is appalled by Airam's behavior, but Airam insists she is only being honest, and that Maria needs to trust her. She tells Maria that all of them must answer for their sins.
Airam then lures Mark to the shower and breaks his knee. After secretly practicing figure skating alone, Airam has another lesson with Lily, who soon becomes intimidated by the way Airam is acting. Airam chases Lily across the ice, and Lily falls into the pavement, fatally crushing her skull. In the bathroom that evening, Maria, frantic, begs to switch again, but Airam reiterates that Lily's death was an accident; and that ultimately, Maria wanted Lily out of their lives. Maria asks again who she is, but Airam only replies, "You know me". Airam then seduces Sean, and the two begin an intense relationship. Airam begins living more wildly, smoking marijuana, skipping school, and drinking hard liquor.
While at a motel together, Sean gets a phone call telling him the police want to speak to him and Maria. Airam refuses to go, and Sean becomes suspicious. He picks up his jacket to leave, and in a moment of impulse and fear, Airam hits him over the head with a vodka bottle she brought with her, killing him. Deeply upset, she sits against the mirror in the bathroom and she and Maria cry together.
Amy has another dream about giving birth. It is revealed that Maria originally had a twin sister, who was euthanised after birth by Dan due to her supposed physical deformities, against Amy's pleas.
Airam leaves the motel and confronts Dan at the clinic after hours, pretending to be heavily intoxicated. She strips naked and demands to know if he would still love her if she were deformed. Clearly perturbed by the question, he avoids it and grabs a robe to cover her with, but she insists he look at her. Finally, he answers "yes", and she slits his throat with a scalpel. As he lies dying, she begins to cry and asks, "Why couldn't you love me?"
Airam now no longer sees Maria when she looks into the mirror. Frightened and alone, Airam returns home and crawls onto the bed next to her mother. A series of mirrored burst shots depicts Maria and Airam on the bed together with their mother; implying that Maria and Airam merged into one.

Antonius and three other men attempted to rob a drug store in the middle of summer while wearing long sleeves and masks. Ornazian is attempting to ask who came up with the plan, but Antonius refuses to give the other man up because he lives by a code saying he is not as bad as the true criminals in the world.

During one of their jobs they ask Michael Hudson to be their getaway driver.
The Australian army sends a helicopter raid to a small village called Ghazi Ghar in Afghanistan in search of hidden Taliban soldiers. Men in the village seeking to protect their families exchange gunfire with the soldiers. During the raid a soldier named Mike shoots and kills an unarmed man who stepped into the doorway of his home. The man's wife and children pull him back into his house.
Three years later Mike returns to Afghanistan in search of the family in order to ask for forgiveness and with a large sum of money as recompense. He lands in Kabul where he comes in contact with a man who had previously arranged to transport him to the family's village. This man now refuses telling Mike it is too dangerous and that he should go back to Australia. Mike hides in an Afghan curiosity shop to escape from a commotion in the street where he purchases a guitar under pressure from the owner.
Mike asks a hotel owner to call a taxi driver to bring him to Ghazi Ghar which is in Kandahar Province. The hotel owner refuses as Kandahar is Taliban territory. He says he can arrange for a driver to take him as far south as lake Band-e-Amir but that is all. While at the lake Mike tries to convince the taxi driver to take him the rest of the way to Kandahar, offering him a lot of money. The taxi driver refuses and argues back with Mike. Neither man speaks the other's language and so the argument simply stops. That night Mike plays his guitar. The Taxi Driver sings a Pashtun song and Mike teaches him to sing the notes which correspond to the guitar strings.
The next morning Mike offers the taxi driver even more money and begs him to drive to the village. The driver accepts and they begin the journey. The pair are stopped at a road block and the taxi driver warns Mike it is the Taliban. Mike gets out of the car and scrambles down a nearby cliff to escape the Taliban who shoot at him but do not follow down the cliff. Mike begins to walk towards the village but collapses from the heat and dehydration. Taliban soldiers find him unconscious in the desert and take him captive, chaining him in a cave.
The Taliban men discuss whether to kill Mike but their leader, Sher Khan, wants to interview him first. They speak through an English speaking Taleb, and Mike explains why he is in Afghanistan. Khan tells him that giving the money would be disrespectful and asks "your people kill thousands of us. Why do you care about this one man?"
Khan takes Mike to a bombed building and tells him that his brother and his brother's entire family were killed by an American drone there. Khan agrees to bring Mike to Ghazi Ghar. On the way to the village the English-speaking Taleb teaches Mike how to say ""I killed someone, please forgiveness," in Pashto as a proper apology.
When Mike reaches Ghazi Ghar he explains that he is there because he killed a man in the raid three years prior. He walks the villagers through the village explaining how his team carried out the raid and that they thought the men shooting at them were Taliban. The villagers take him to the family of the man he killed where he apologises in Pashto. The man's widow Sherbano cries and throws shoes at him while the two sons stare at Mike furiously.
The community decides to hold a Jirga, a meeting of elders to decide whether to punish or forgive Mike. The Jirga decide Inam Khan, the son of the man who Mike killed, deserves to decide his fate. He steps through the crowd with a dagger, holds it to Mike's neck before sheathing it and deciding to forgive. The Jirga believe he has made the correct decision and one elder says "forgiveness is mightier and [more] honourable than taking revenge."
Mike assists in the ritual sacrifice of a sheep and then leaves the village.
Ten days before the wedding talks about a love story during the civil war in Aden، its story is was presented in a comedy, social, romance and musical with cultural background category.
Frankie, a well-known French actress, has only a few months to live. For that reason, she decides to spend her last vacation with her large family in Sintra (Portugal). Despite the picturesque location, the relatives present struggle with a variety of love, marriage and money problems.
Vendetta finally obtains the trust of Oscar Hidalgo (Rowell Santiago) following another assassination attempt on his life, which was timely prevented by Cardo (Coco Martin) and Vendetta with Hidalgo witnessing everything that transpired. Now aware of the true colors of his supposed political allies, Hidalgo resolves to regain the presidency which Lucas Cabrera (Edu Manzano) unlawfully stole from him.
After the unlawful arrest of General Borja (Jaime Fàbregas) before interrogating him to find Vendetta's whereabouts, they had a party along with Lucas and Brandon Cabrera (Mark Anthony Fernandez) at the PNP Headquarters and one of Lucas' allies Albert Hernandez (Franco Laurel) was chosen by Lucas to become his Vice President as PNP Chief Alejandro Terante (Soliman Cruz) became angered due to Renato Hipolito's (John Arcilla) negative and sarcastic remarks.
Meanwhile, Lola Flora (Susan Roces) became more stressed since Konsehala Gina Magtanggol (Mitch Valdes) and her cohorts destroyed her eatery especially after hearing of what happened to her brother while being informed by Billy (John Medina).
With the Philippine Government worsening due to its corruption created by Lucas and his administration, Cardo informs Oscar that they need to make their move. Therefore, Jerome quickly informs Cardo about what happened to his grandfather after being informed by Billy that General Borja was not detained at Camp Crame but in a military camp where he was pummeled and tortured by Terante and his group and they were concealing their corruptive acts by blaming Vendetta. Oscar knows that their actions were illegal. Worried of endangering his family, Cardo decided to rescue his grandfather at their hands and informs them that Terante knows the location where General Borja has been illegally detained.
Despite General Borja's torture and killing one of the missing reporters to threatening him to speak about Cardo's whereabouts from one of Terante's group, Terante and his convoy were cornered by Vendetta as Cardo manages to shoot Terante to the chest, seriously wounding him and killing all the policemen he used as escorts. Trying to keep himself alive, Terante shows to the vigilante group at the safehouse where General Borja was being held captive. As soon as Cardo successfully rescued his grandfather from his clutches, Terante himself took Wangbu (Jobert Austria) as a hostage knowing he was too weak and threatens both Alyana (Yassi Pressman) and Bubbles (Bianca Manalo) by gunpoint. Due to Wangbu's stupidity, he was shot by Terante to make his escape. After Cardo rescues his grandfather and seeing a seriously wounded Wangbu due to Terante's escape, General Borja recognizes Jerome (John Prats), Rigor (Marc Solis) and General Olegario (Angel Aquino) and also salutes Oscar, recognizing him as the President of the Philippines. During the time of General Borja's captivity before Cardo and his group rescued him at the safehouse, Billy along with Mark Vargas (Lester Llansang) and Francisco "Chikoy" Rivera (Michael Roy Jornales), had plans to rescue their superior but not knowing that their new CIDG Director General had already set a trap for them due to their loyalty towards General Borja.
They returned to the house and treated Wangbu's wound. Later, Delfin called his sister to tell her that he is safe. Hipolito sarcastically remarked to Terante that he failed on his performance while recovering in the hospital, since his plan nearly led to a brawl were it not for Cabrera's intervention.
Aling Rosa (Mystica) tried to retrieve her children, but failed when Cardo intervened. Terante's men inside CIDG hatches a plan to frame Billy, Mark and Chikoy with a fake drug bust which they succeed in capturing them for interrogation about Vendetta's whereabouts. Aling Rosa then uncovered a list of Vendetta and their rewards, which she went to a police station with her boyfriend to raid the compound. Before raiding the compound, Aling Rosa tells Terante about the Vendetta's whereabouts which they currently lived at the compound. Terante did not believe her at first as many imposters were claiming that they saw Vendetta for the large reward, but she said President Hidalgo was also there made the General mobilize his men.
Meanwhile, Hipolito is going to meet the owner of the mines, Don Gustavo, which was revealed to be Don Emilio (Eddie Garcia) himself, having survived the clash between him and Vendetta in Baguio. He was saved by an elder and taught him mining and inherited the company. He was wounded and blinded on the battle.
The initial clash claimed the lives of Lolo Efren (Robert Arevalo), Lola Melba (Marissa Delgado), Marie and her parents during their breakfast meal, which forces Cardo and his group to open fire at them while trying to escape. As they were chased by policemen, Bubbles, Anton, Patrick and Diana were wounded. They commandeered the police mobile vehicles and went to a hospital to treat them. Terante and Brandon went there to kill all of them but were too late as Vendetta escaped from their clutches, making their mission a failure and all of the vanguard of policemen, 17 in all were killed. Terante was then berated by the Cabreras and Hipolito was going to cash in the proposal.
Meanwhile back at the compound, vengeance was served cold upon Rosa and her boyfriend when one of Patrick's friends killed both of them for reporting to the police and giving Vendetta's location away to them, avenging the deaths of Patrick's family.
While Cardo's comrades were being treated, one of the staff members successfully called and informed the police about Vendetta raiding the hospital, despite Ramil catching him off guard. When Cardo heard about this, he and his comrades escape the hospital before Terante and his men arrived. Cardo then commandeered a jeepney and took his comrades to Sto. Niño. Despite being in shock of what Vendetta went through, they took them under their wing. They enjoyed the sights and swam in the river. They raised plants and animals to reduce the family's upkeep on them.
Meanwhile, Señor Gustavo, relocated to Sto. Niño because the black market wanted diamonds, which was absent upon the former site. He acquired Baldo's (Rommel Padilla) consent and help.
Hipolito, agreed upon the share of income if he could meet with Gustavo, courted Gascon Dela Vega (Ryan Eigenmann) relentlessly until Gustavo agreed at last. He went along with Homer's group. The two met on Gustavo's place and sealed the deal. The government will get 50% share and they will overlook the violations Gustavo's operations will cause. All the while, Homer recognizes Gustavo as Don Emilio, the one who mauled him for cornering him with the drug deal.
JP and Teddy continued their crusade against Cabrera, the latter went to meet up several policemen that hated Terante's rule, but unknown to them, a mole implanted by General Marquez tells his superior who 'Juan Verdad' is. JP meanwhile was hired by his former professor and he met up some students who are student activists. They organized rallies on Quezon Memorial Circle, the Palace and anywhere, Terante dispersing them every time. Teddy was threatened by an assassin from 'Juan Verdad's posts. And Cabrera's patience snapped when rallies were set up on the Palace gate, so he used force, by dispersing it without using police force, and abducting the ringleaders. One of them tried to escape, but was killed. The others fates were unknown. JP escaped the commotion and pleads to visit the youth group leader's wake, but was warned by his parents.
Brandon's power tripping continues after plasticizing with fallen policemen's families, he went to a bar, but he mauled a security guard that only intervened. The man reported the damage unto Mayor Adonis (Roderick Paulate) with Marge's (Carmi Martin) help. But Mayor Adonis was threatened by the Vice President and DILG secretary about overlooking Brandon's issue with Mang Kanor. The 2 policemen, who always frequented Konsehala Gina's karinderia, took Marge's bag. They reported it on the station, but the police does nothing. And the VP and DILG secretary threatened Adonis if he makes issues further. The mayor later retracts his accusations, and the 2 policemen took away Mang Kanor, for "investigation". Later, Adonis tried to plead with the Chief of Police, but the chief declined and laughed.

Tyson and his men spotted Bubbles and the other women washing clothes. The group tried to rape her, when Jerome and Rigor went to the rescue, but mauled by Tyson's pack, but not until Aubrey warned Vendetta about what's happening. They rescued the women and drove the gang away. After the issue, they went to the Barangay Captain, which the village head agreed upon Vendetta helping the tanods on their patrol, although in a volunteer basis. Vendetta accepted the conditions.
Hipolito and Terante's feud over the former's operation of mines and Lucas Cabrera's approval went on the boiling point. Homer suggests dealing with the PNP Chief, while Terante plans to take out Hipolito once and for all. The shrewd secretary arranged a meetup with Terante, while both thinking of getting rid of each other at all.
Tanggol, Baldo and Gapon's group went to Diego's camp. Señor Gustavo met up with his future enforcers. The night before, his lover Madonna acts like she was victimized by a guard who overheard her conversations, so the old man killed the guard, and warned that anybody who looks at her with lasciviousness will get snuffed out.
Renato Hipolito (John Arcilla) and Alakdan (Jhong Hilario) and the Kamandag later killed PNP Chief Alejandro Terante after a short battle with him when Renato and his allies began to ambush Alejandro and the personal bodyguards in attempt to finish him and frames Vendetta for his murder. They later took out General Marquez after he suspected that Hipolito was involved in Terante's death, he also eliminated the loyal police officer to clean up his tracks. Cabrera's men abduct Virgie in retaliation and took her to a detention facility alongside others who were against Lucas' tyranny.
Meanwhile, distrust brews between Tanggol, Baldo, Gapon and Diego. While the siblings will abduct villagers for forced labor in the mines, they decided not to attack Sto. Niño, for there's too many soldiers on that town. They decided to attack San Clemente and other nearby towns, which they succeeded.
Mayor Adonis, strengthened by the belief that he had done the right thing, called a press con and implicated the VP, who is also DILG secretary on threatening him. Brandon asked his father to fix this himself. Eventually, Lucas then ordered his men to kidnap Margie in retaliation.
Wally and Elmo overheard the reason why the two policemen, Gapuz and Pantig, were always at Konsehala Gina's eatery, is to extort money to her recently reopened gambling rings. They said it to Lola Flora, who told them to do it in a quiet way.
Meanwhile, romance blossomed beyween Bubbles and Jerome, while Romulo and Diana fell in love with each other. The latter later confessed to Vendetta about their feelings for each other and Romulo eventually serenaded Diana, with the help of Vendetta.
During an outreach program by Lucas and Brandon on the victims of Vendetta, the student rally group along with JP went there as well to rally, leading to JP's kidnapping by Lucas' men. They tried to extract info on both mother and son, but failed. Teddy went on to broadcast a threat to the President fearlessly. Eventually, he would receive a gun from his editor in chief, Jonathan, and he later attempted to assassinate Lucas during an outreach, but he hesitated before doing so. Despite that, one of the reporters caught him red handed holding the gun and alerted the policemen, but he successfully escaped from their clutches.
In Gustavo's mansion, Madonna began seducing Gascon slowly by telling him that Gustavo is just abusing him due to the mining operation being in a slow pace and she prefers Gascon over Gustavo, then she plans to have all of Gustavo's riches with Gascon. One night, Gascon eventually gave in to her seduction while Gustavo was asleep.
Homer and his group went to Sto. Niño to keep an eye of the mining site. And the mines officially started when the group took the 'miners' on the site. Distrust then built up between Kamandag and Tanggol's group after Homer killed the miners that were attempting to escape, slowing down the mining operation in the process. Homer and Tanggol eventually brawled against each other when Tanggol had enough of Homer's attitude with Homer winning.
Meanwhile in Manila, Teddy asked help from the policemen, who were not loyal to Lucas, to rescue Virgie, JP, and the other prisoners. They later followed Gapuz to the detention facility secretly, then informed Teddy about it. Teddy later sneaked past and shot one of the guards, who was about to shoot JP. JP then lead his father to where Virgie is being held and successfully freed her. The policemen then raided the facility and successfully freed the other prisoners, including Margie. Lucas, Brandon, and Hernandez then learned about the breakout. The policemen then took Teddy and his family to a hideout to take shelter, but were later ambushed by Lucas' men, killing the policemen who helped them but luckily, Teddy and his family successfully escaped from Lucas' men. He asked help from Jonathan to lend him a car. When they were about to return to their house, they found Brandon and his henchmen searching their house, and they immediately left before they were spotted by Brandon's henchmen.
While Madonna is in Manila, Gustavo sends Gascon to Manila to give P50M to Hipolito and to look after Madonna even if Snooki (Sarah Jane Abad) was with her. They later stayed in a hotel before returning to Gustavo, not knowing that Gustavo was already suspecting them both. However, before Gustavo handed Gascon the P50M for Hipolito, Gascon saw the other riches that Gustavo was keeping in his safe, consisting of gold, diamonds and jewels.
Meanwhile in Sto. Niño, Romulo planned to ask for Diana's hand in marriage and asked Vendetta for help. They borrowed a horse for Romulo to use to take Diana on a walk before eventually proposing to her. After they were finished wandering, Romulo eventually took Diana to a hill and successfully proposed to her. Eventually, Cardo had decided that the group bury their weapons for good to live a new and peaceful life in Sto. Niño. Romulo and Diana later got married at the hill where Romulo proposed to her.
Back in Manila, Teddy and his family took shelter in Lola Flora's house temporarily. Eventually, Lucas' men went to the house to observe and overheard Elmo and Wally that the Arevalo family is in the house. Lucas then ordered the policemen to go to Lola Flora's house to arrest Teddy for the attempted assassination. Lola Flora allowed the police to search their house while Teddy and his family hid. After the policemen left, the Arevalo family left as well because they're no longer safe as the policemen might come back for them. Margie then told Mayor Adonis to take the Arevalo family to his rest house to take shelter.
After many of the miners suddenly died in the mining site due to extreme exhaustion, Baldo and Tanggol eventually decided to go to Sto. Niño in order to abduct the men to become the replacement miners at the site. Their attack took the lives of Lolo Marsing, Lola Nita, the Barangay Captain and several others. After Vendetta heard the gunshots, they attempted to make their escape before Cardo decided to stay and fight back along with Romulo and the rest of the group while Alyana, Diana, Bubbles, Delfin, Aubrey, Oscar along with Ana (Rhed Bustamante) and Aye (Kenken Nuyad) made their run. Baldo and his group then went after them when they were finished abducting the men. While Cardo and his group were fighting Baldo and Tanggol's group, Butete, Bulate, Rigor, and Greco were wounded. As Alyana and the rest were running from Baldo and Tanggol's group, Delfin and Aye were wounded from the ensuing chaos. Aubrey was then fatally shot by Baldo, before his group eventually retreated. They went to a nearby village to seek help but failed when the people refused, until a family helped them find a health center. After their comrades were treated, Patrick saw Baldo and Tanggol's group approaching and alerted the others, leading them to evacuate the health center right away to avoid getting caught, taking Aubrey's corpse along the way.
Brandon ordered his men to follow Mayor Adonis in order to find the location of Teddy and his family. But Adonis, along with Margie, noticed that Brandon's men were following them and decided to turn around and not go to the rest house instead. Brandon then went to Adonis' house to confront him personally about Teddy. When Adonis refused to tell the whereabouts of Teddy, Brandon beat him up until Adonis fought back and shot Brandon using the gun that was given to him by one of his bodyguards. Meanwhile, Margie wanted to visit Adonis to bring him food and confess her feelings for him at the same time. When she arrived there, she saw Adonis before Brandon fatally shoots him. With his dying breath, Adonis then confessed to Margie that he loves her as well. She decided to tell the truth about Adonis' death at the hands of Brandon, covered up by the biased media. She firstly sent her sister and niece to Adonis' safe house, where Teddy and his family are, to keep them safe.
Cardo and his group then found a home that is three mountains away from Sto. Niño. They decided to stay there as they thought that it was abandoned, but eventually the owners of the house returned and caught them. At first, the owners didn't believe them until they saw Oscar, who told them that they were telling the truth. Then, they told everything that happened in Sto. Niño when Baldo and Tanggol's army invaded. Oscar then buried Aubrey, with the help from the group, and promised to give justice for his family & the other victims in Sto. Niño. He also promised to take back his position as president that was unlawfully taken from him by Lucas.
Homer, bored on the mines and wanting to observe Baldo and Tanggol's movements, went to the barrio. But distrust for each other were simmering on both sides, with Tanggol and Baldo against Homer, and Diego and Gapon too at each other's mercy. Homer eventually learned that Cardo and Vendetta was on the barrio, and decided to join forces with Tanggol, Baldo, Gapon, and Diego to take out Cardo and Vendetta.
Cardo eventually decided to return to Sto. Niño along with a few members from Vendetta, including Oscar, to dig up the weapons that they buried there and find where Baldo and Tanggol's men kept the others without getting caught, while the wounded stayed at the house to heal their wounds. The group went to the barrio stealthily, and eliminated the group who tried to rape Doray, as well as taking their weapons afterwards. They also eliminated Diego's group. Then the group went to the church, where the bandits held the villagers to work as miners, but the villagers suffered casualties until Vendetta finished the guards, but their cover was blown. The battle between Cardo against a battalion of bandits and thugs began. Diana and the rest eventually went along to follow the group as they got worried on the safety of Cardo's group.
Señor Gustavo was dismayed at Homer's disappearance at the mining site and the slaves tried to resist, which Tyson and his group then crushed. He called Hipolito, which is on his way to collect the bribe he demanded on the old treasure hunter. The two met, and the old man hesitated giving the demand. But before that, he gave a dangerous hint about Gascon and Madonna's plan.
Meanwhile, Margie bravely revealed to the media that she herself witnessed with her own two eyes Brandon kill Adonis. Brandon, upon seeing the matter, planned to take out Margie.
Diana's group continued to look for Cardo and the rest of Vendetta and killed some of Tanggol's men along the way. Unfortunately, Homer and his group spotted them and they went on to tail them. Diana's group eventually got cornered by Homer and Gapon's group respectively. Outnumbered, the group went in an opposite direction, inadvertently leaving Diana and Bubbles behind. The two women were consequently captured by Alakdan. The rest however, ambushed and finished off Gapon and Diego, killing them both. Cardo and his group, on the other hand, managed to take out the rest of Baldo and Tanggol's army. He then, along with Romulo, engaged Tanggol and Baldo in hand-to-hand combat respectively. Cardo defeated Tanggol, then gave Caloy and the victimized men a chance to exact revenge on the notorious bandit for his constant crimes in Sto. Niño. Romulo and Baldo ended up in a river as they fought. Baldo gained the upper hand after a few hits and slashes with a wood and a knife, bloodying Romulo. But the latter managed to still fight back. Baldo retrieved his gun and was ready kill Romulo. But Romulo immediately grabbed a bamboo staff with a pointed edge and threw it like a javelin to the bandit's chest, killing him and avenging Aubrey's death. Romulo later finished Baldo’s remaining men when they arrived and attempted to kill him for killing Baldo. Afterwards, Cardo and the villagers found the rest of Vendetta, who followed them, and learned that both Diana & Bubbles were captured by Homer. Romulo then rode a horse to go after Homer's group with Cardo, along with Vendetta and the villagers, following him. Romulo manages to shoot some of Homer's men, including Roldan (Ronwaldo Martin), who were holding Diana. Afterwards, Homer arrived and Romulo sacrifices himself to protect Diana and gets fatally shot. Diana then gets recaptured by Homer and his group & was taken to Hipolito's house, along with Bubbles. While they were mourning for Romulo's death, Cardo learned from Caloy (Joven Olvido) that Homer is still alive and was working with Tanggol, Baldo, Gapon, and Diego.
Fearing that the detained people might speak up against the administration, Lucas orders his son to execute all of the prisoners they captured in the detention facility, including Billy, Mark, and Chikoy. The three CIDG policemen then fought back by taking the guns from the guards before they were executed and saved the other prisoners and escaped the detention facility together using a van along with the others. The three then went to a house of an old friend of Mark to take shelter. They decided to meet up with Teddy, which was successful and Teddy got supplies and a weapon.
While the case of Margie against Brandon still in fiscal, the Cabreras wanted to destroy Margie's reputation, they went to file the counter-affidavit by themselves, despite anti-Cabrera rallies are outside. While Margie was pestered not only by the media, but with pro-Cabrera rallying outside Lola Flora's house, then decrying Cardo and Vendetta. Konsehala Gina used this issue to boost her profile, as she faced the media, which Margie confronted. Wally and Elmo did vengeance by destroying the wheels.
Caloy and his cousins volunteered to enter the mines where Gustavo are hiding their slaves to search for Bubbles and Diana, which the group agreed upon. While the others were put into another place to recuperate and prepare for the battle ahead. Caloy and others warned Vendetta about the mines, and they said that Diana and Bubbles is in Manila, which put the group in the dilemma of either saving the mine slaves, or saving Bubbles and Diana. Cardo chose the former and called on the people who they saved to prepare for the attack.
Hipolito has a plan, which involves Diana as bait to lure out Cardo and Vendetta. And he then tasked Homer to eliminate Margie without implicating Cabreras and make it look like an accident. The case she filed were approved to be filed in the court, despite Cabreras' pressuring the fiscal.
Señor Gustavo suspected that Madonna was having an affair with Gascon, so he went on as though he suspected nothing. While having dinner, he secretly took a video of Madonna flirting with Gascon, thus proving his instincts right. Gascon, Madonna, and Snooki then proceeded to continue their plan after Gascon had a change of heart (as he didn't want to get involved before in Madonna's plans on betraying Gustavo). The 3 of them proceeded to take Gustavo's riches. When Madonna realized that they still needed to take more, she orders Snooki to go back to Gustavo's vault after the latter initially hesitated. Snooki was then caught by Gustavo red-handed stealing his riches and shoots her, despite her pleading. Gascon and Madonna then proceeded to make their escape from the mansion. Afterwards, Gustavo and his men followed them and he orders his men to kill Gascon and spare Madonna. He manages to shoot Gascon using a sniper rifle. He then took Madonna to her car and told her that she can have his riches she took from his vault as he still loved her. Madonna then told Gustavo that she never loved him in the first place. Brokenhearted, Gustavo then let her go on her car with the riches. Unbeknownst to Madonna, Gustavo placed a bomb in the car, and he then detonated it using his phone, killing Madonna in the process. Then he prepares for his inevitable rematch with Cardo and Vendetta, sporting a more brutal and heartless attitude, as he kills some tired and famished slaves.
Margie then went to her lawyer. There, Homer did the order Cabrera gave to them. He hired a fall guy to drunkenly drive a truck then ram the jeepney where Margie was riding. There are casualties and killed and wounded on the 'accident' in which Margie was one of the casualties. When Lola Flora and Margie's relatives charged on the jail where the fall guy was incarcerated, not believing the alibi, Pantig and Gapuz confronted and mocked them.
Vendetta crawls on the mine and silently took out some guards. After Gustavo killed some whiny slaves, another organized a breakout, which Gustavo and his men also killed. Cardo was spotted by sentries, which started a gunfight. Akihiro was killed by the slaves, Bruno was killed by Rigor, and Tyson was killed by Jerome when he tried to pick up his pistol. Vendetta kept fighting Gustavo's men and Cardo mortally wounds Gustavo in a duel. He was taken to the helicopter and tried to escape, which Cardo shot down, finally ending Gustavo's life once and for all and avenging his father's death. The slaves were then saved by Vendetta and Sto. Niño's remnants. Cardo declined the offers of the survivors to assist them, as some of them lost everything and Cardo was their last hope. Cardo then told them they have a chance to rebuild their lives and all of them agreed. Then, they all prepared to go to Manila to rescue Bubbles and Diana, and topple Cabrera once and for all, via another villager's vehicle. They went on to Cardo's old friend Orlando Reyes (Hyubs Azarcon) to hide out.
Meanwhile in Manila, after the problem with Margie was done, Lucas decided to move against Vendetta, calling a General to bring a battalion of soldiers and his own men to where Vendetta is, and commanded to secure the village, expose the casualties and blame Vendetta on the carnage caused by Gustavo and Baldo's group.
At Hipolito's house, Diana and Bubbles decided to play along the group's tune to avoid putting their lives in danger. Eventually, Renato realized that Diana was lying when he heard of the "massacre" of Vendetta in Sto. Niño in the news.
The corrupt cops planned to assassinate Lola Flora and Margie's relatives but unknown to them, the 3 CIDG policemen planned to protect their comrade's family from harm. Rallies were organized in support of Margie outside the wake, so openly killing Lola Flora is out of the question. The duo then snuck in to Lola Flora's house and attempted to kill her along with the others, when Billy, Chikoy, and Mark incapacitate them & then taking them away to Teddy's old hideout. They put a spy cam to record what the duo are arguing. Gapuz and Pantig were blaming each other for the fiasco, unknowingly they were being watched. Teddy and CIDG boys then used the recordings to spread it to the public and online. They then took Gapuz and Pantig to Camp Crame to be detained. To overwrite the Gapuz and Pantig's capture and confession, they rely on their biased media to report the 'massacre' in Sto. Niño, causing divided opinion on people. And as the two prepare to be transferred, Brandon's men attacked the convoy and Brandon gave the two another chance to do their job.
Due to the loss of the mines, Hipolito suggested to Cabrera that he will double the collection for protecting drug lords, and other illegal activities they still have. Then Renato called Lily Ann Cortez (Lorna Tolentino) to speed up the money, then go to the Palace to remit it to Cabrera. Lily, seemingly allied with the Cabreras, dismayed upon Cabreras, and she wants to ditch the group when she heard of the failures of the administration. Lucas actually overheard it, then he explained how they manage things. But Lily never budged, saying that she's frank. She withdrew all her money in her account and prepared to leave, and Lucas just made sure that Lily knows her place. But documents about her lie-cheat-steal issues arose during the Secretary's research. Lucas sent Brandon to tail her, and if possible, eliminate her. Lily went first to a church to pray, then went to her family's grave. Unknowingly, Pantig and Gapuz was on her trail.
Vendetta went to Rolando’s house. Rolando, formerly Cardo's junior in the police force, hesitatingly welcomed them. He also acquired a jeep, which the driver was once a criminal's henchman that Cardo busted during his time as a police officer. He agreed to take Vendetta on a scouting mission, to rescue Diana and Bubbles from Homer and Renato's grasp. First, they went to where Ricky Boy, their slain son, was buried along with Cardo's twin brother, Ador. Meanwhile, Lola Flora decides to send Margie's relatives on the province.
Lily was going somewhere when Gapuz's group ambushed Lily, killing the driver. When Lily was about to be executed by Pantig, Vendetta arrived and caused a shootout, and Cardo killed both Pantig and Gapuz and saved Lily. When heard the news, Lucas was furious about Brandon's latest fiasco. The son explained, to which the father snapped and smacked his own son. Meanwhile, Vendetta returned to Lando's house. Lily was shocked when she saw Oscar among them.
Vendetta smelled something fishy about Lily's identity, which the woman denied. Meanwhile, in Hipolito's hideout, Bubbles mysteriously puked, and suspected that she may be pregnant. Hipolito, still adamant of using the 2 women as bait, constantly bickered with Homer on Bubble's fate. Homer then bought a pregnancy test for Bubbles and found out that she's pregnant with his child.
Lily planned to make Vendetta and Cabrera clash, so that she return to her ways. She excused herself then went to a store to call Hipolito and tell him that Vendetta was on her position, in exchange of Lucas forgiving her. Lucas sent Renato, Brandon, some of their men and policemen to eliminate Vendetta once and for all. But with help of Lando, and despite Lily protesting, they successfully evaded the police via a dump truck. They hid in Lily's house, unknowingly and ironically that Lily was the reason of the raid. They went on to Lily's hideout and went on resting. Lily called Hipolito to complain that she was almost killed, and promised a deal with him. She then gave Vendetta weapons and supplies for their mission.
Brandon, frustrated with the countless failures, went on with his men, this time towards Lola Flora's family. He abducted the kids that Cardo cared for. Brandon thought that if the elders never talk, maybe the kids will tell him where Cardo is. Unknowingly, Billy was tipped by the men inside CIDG about the incident, and tailed the vans. Brandon called Lola Flora to inform her that he has the kids, and threatens them that he will execute one kid every 15 minutes if they won't reveal where Vendetta is. But Billy and the others' covers were blown and a clash ensues. The trio rescued the kids, and the police arrive on the scene, but Brandon managed to escape. Lucas wanted to cover up this failure of his son once again.
Lily, earning the trust of Vendetta, went on giving them clothes, her collection of luxury vehicles, then going with them for her contacts with weapons. She told Vendetta that Brandon was frequenting a bar and attained VIP status there, and sedns them there. Hipolito is now using Lily to ensure Cabrera's downfall. As Vendetta arrives on the bar, Lily gives the group a VIP treatment, and left the group to wait for Brandon. Just the nick of time, Brandon arrived at the bar, frustrated. Cardo disguised himself as a waiter and initially throws a glass of whiskey to him, which shocked Brandon, and got his hands up in time. Cardo then asked Brandon where Diana and Bubbles were being held, to which Brandon said that the two are in Hipolito's hideout. But when they arrive at the car, he resisted and tried to escape. A clash then ensued between Vendetta and Brandon's men, but eventually he got cornered by Vendetta and was killed before he could fight back, therefore avenging Adonis' and Margie’s death. When Lucas knew of this, he ordered his private army to massacre the De Leon Family, as reprisal for his son's death. The group then went to Lola Flora's house, but Billy and the others secure their escape, but Wally got wounded and Makmak sacrificed himself to protect Lola Flora from being shot. Cardo then contacted Lola Flora using Lily's phone upon hearing the news of what happened, and told them to meet up at Lily's ancestral home, along with the Arevalo family. The De Leon and Arevalo families reunited.
Lucas decided to bait Vendetta with Diana and Bubbles, despite Homer trying to save the latter due to her pregnancy. He secured Makmak's corpse, while preparing for his son's funeral. But Cardo used himself as diversion, letting Alyana, Jerome and Rigor in. But the men Cabrera put there chased him and a gunfight starts. The rest of Vendetta then came and finished them and left the scene, taking Makmak's casket to the house.
Renato then contacted Lily, to meet up with them, but Lily wanted to double-cross the former, while Renato has no use for Lily. Lily then showed Vendetta where Renato's hideout is. A firefight then ensues between Vendetta and Kamandag. Bubbles was rescued by Jerome while Diana was rescued by Rigor, and Cardo serves vengeance for Diana's son, Bernardo, Romulo and Ricky Boy by shooting Homer's knees and his head, respectively. Then after that, they plan to disrupt Brandon's funeral, and finish Lucas once and for all. Lily called Renato to say that Vendetta will attack Brandon's funeral. Lucas and all his Cabinets were at the funeral, but the people shouted justice more on Makmak's death than Brandon's. Lily was absent from the cemetery, playing safe from both sides. As Lucas and his convoy left, Vendetta intercepted them. A firefight then ensues. Some members of Vendetta got wounded, Anton saved Diana from being shot by Renato and was shot down instead, but Lucas was killed by Cardo and Renato was wounded, despite countless men arrived and ambushed the group and assist Lucas and Renato, Vendetta retreated afterwards. The news about Lucas' death was received with overjoy, with rallies supporting Vendetta was organized.
As they mourn Anton's (Mark Lapid) death, Oscar suggested that they surrender, but others rebuffed his offer. So Oscar was forced to betray them. A battalion of policemen arrived to arrest them. There, they learn that Oscar betrayed them although they understand that he will do anything to release them especially Cardo after he saved him from Lucas's action. Lola Flora pleaded to Cardo to surrender. Vendetta obeyed the grandmother. They were led to the cell to take post-arrest procedures. As Oscar returns to his rightful seat, he ponders and regrets that Lucas besmirched the President's title for his own selfish desires. Then, he was sworn once again. Afterwards, he told the media of everything what had happened to him when Lucas ordered his assassination and that Vendetta are not criminals as they had saved him from Lucas' men. Meanwhile, another storm is brewing. Renato survived the fight, helped by Lily on his recuperation. He desires to exude chaos once again. But Lily has other plans. Just as she used Vendetta to ensure Lucas' fall, so too will she use him for her personal use.
Vendetta was put into court to read their punishment regarding rebellion cases the government filed against them, which they plead guilty. Purges and arrests against Cabrera's allies begin after Oscar assumes the Presidency, starting from VP Hernandez and the Executive Secretary Damien. They confesses everybody who was aligned with Lucas Cabrera on the interrogation, arresting those named 'Midnight Cabinets', Cabinet members who were aligned with Lucas and were accused of corruption. Makmak was cremated, and they return to their home, damaged by the incident.
Lily made her move, this time talking to both Cardo and Oscar. Then Oscar visits the cell to tell Vendetta that he filed pardon resolutions on them. Then, news about Vendetta's pardon were met with overzealous celebrations. Oscar also planned a party for Vendetta on the Palace, and Hipolito overheard it. He sarcastically congratulated Lily for doing a good job of fooling both Hidalgo and Vendetta. Lily demanded payment on her behalf, which Renato explained that he will pay later.
Meanwhile, a task force was created to pursue other members of Lucas Cabrera's remnant circle. His police chief recommended Major Basco (Raymart Santiago) to lead the op. As Lola Flora and Vendetta leaves, they met Konsehala Gina and others, and the latter sarcastically remarked, which Lola Flora wished them well and leave alongside others. Back at the house, they plan to further spread malicious remarks against both Lola Flora and Vendetta and destroy their reputation, so that Oscar will acknowledge her, hoping she could use the association to attain higher office.

Lucy Neal disappoints her boyfriend Jeff, with her lack of intimacy. While he is asleep, Lucy looks at Jeff’s laptop and finds that he watches porn. They have an argument over this and they break up, with Jeff moving out of the apartment.
Lucy, with her string quartet, also comprising Nessa, Priscilla, and Paul, perform at a wedding, but she breaks down in the middle of it and tells them that Jeff left her because she won’t satisfy him. After some comforting and encouragement from the three, Lucy decides to make a sex list of things to improve her intimacy problems.

The documentary examines the controversy of Hurley employing composite photographs for more stunning photographs. In particular, Hurley's work in Antarctica, both world wars and his expeditions to Papua New Guinea. The film includes strongly divided opinions on the ethical implications of his deceit, as well as a discussion of the consequences of Hurley's subjugation of the native Papuan population. Nasht also touches on Hurley's later work chronicling the Australian continent through photographs. Ultimately, the documentary employs differing perspectives to display both the positive and negative results of Hurley's often unethical exploits. This is accomplished through the interviews with different characters as well as relaying the impartial truth as to the events.
Regarding the Antarctic voyage, when interviewing historian Alasdair McGregor, he offers the insight that despite the journalist's tampering, Hurley still ensured the continuity of photographic records for significant moments in history, stating that "without a visual record of the expedition, the exploits would be virtually a footnote in Antarctic history. Hurley's twin daughters Adelie and Toni provide insight into their father's character in an emotional moment where they mourn their father, showcasing Hurley's humanity. It is also revealed that on this expedition, the crew discovered Elephant Island. It is on this island where Adelie and Toni are overcome with emotion, due to seeing the island their father discovered. On this island, Hurley and his crew become stranded and are later rescued. On this Antarctic expedition, Hurley often stumbled through dangerous and risky experiences in order to find the 'perfect photo.' The documentary refers to this expedition as a "glorious failure" as an accurate way to describe the expedition and Hurley's exploits.
The audience does see Hurley's vulnerable side however. This is shown mostly through the revelation of his wife, Antoinette and twin daughters. Letters sent between them are shown in the documentary to humanise the photographer. The documentary also showcases the struggle of the women in Hurley's life. Antoinette had to support herself and two daughters almost completely by herself while her husband travelled constantly. It is revealed that in 42 years of marriage, their only holiday as a married couple was their honeymoon near the Nile River, both allowing audiences to feel sympathy for the Hurleys as well as understand Frank's devotion to his craft. Additionally, Adelie and Toni suffered due to their father's absence in their formative years, with the twins saying "we were so used to him being out of our lives... Wouldn't like having a father at all really." Additionally, audiences discover that Hurley didn't even inform his family about his Antarctic voyage before leaving, rather, Antoinette learned about it from the local news.
Additionally, the documentary discusses Hurley's role in World War I, World War II, specifically the battle of Passchendaele. Due to his previous work, Hurley was chosen to be the chief cameraman, and the documentary explores his disillusion with war after the fact. The audience sees how he struggled to reconcile his creativity and artistic integrity, eventually choosing to use creative composites to create a much more dramatic depiction of war. The historian, Charles Bean, refuses to acknowledge Hurley's work, stating "we'll not have it at any price," shaming him for being unethical. This led to Hurley's feud with the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in which they claimed that his edits didn't properly capture the reality of war. An explanation from the narrator describes that Hurley wished to incorporate every feature of war within his photos, hence his utilisation of composites. Using this method, he was able to capture many aspects of war within one photo, such as camaraderie, battle and death. The composites were made of photos taken before, during and after the war.
The documentary then evaluates Hurley's crusades in Papua New Guinea, in which he subjugated the native inhabitants and stole many precious native artefacts, to which archived records show Hurley responding "we are accused of being pirates... this is absurd." Nasht further explains that Hurley used even more deception, claiming that he had found "the lost tribe of Israel" in his movie Pearls and Savages. To show the marketability of his deceit though, archaeologist Dr Jim Specht explains that his claim was "silly but for marketing it was brilliant." Furthermore, the documentary later reveals that despite Hurley robbing these native tribes of their culture and sacred items, the journalist's recording of the tribes has allowed modern Papuans to use these recordings as a way to rediscover and learn about their heritage. Footage of native inhabitants gathering to watch Hurley's films and enjoying their rediscovery of their heritage confirms this.
Finally, Nasht explores Hurley's final stages of his career, with his focus being on the country of Australia. Although not like his usual jobs, Hurley took a salary position working as chief cameraman at Australia's Sydney Sound Studios. At the time, the studio was well known for patriotic escapist-fare, a role perfect for Hurley's skills in evoking emotion. His work in creating The Squatter's Daughter helped in "achieving a propagandistic spin." It is here where Hurley stays until his death in 1962.
The documentary in its entirety presents the polarising aspects of Hurley's career through an unbiased presentation of both sides of the argument regarding Hurley's photos.

The story begins with Salma in Nablus, 1963. As her daughter Alia prepares for her wedding to Atef, Salma reads her future in a cup of coffee dregs. Though Salma reads a life full of uncertainty, instability, travel, and loss, she keeps the negative to herself, telling Alia that she sees a quick pregnancy and Atef's love for her.
The Yacoubs are a middle-class family who are already dispersed when the novel begins as Salma was from Jaffa, but had to flee to Nablus following WWII and Widad, Salma's very religious oldest daughter, is living in Kuwait in an arranged marriage.
Mustafa, Salma's middle child, struggles with his faith despite finding a strong community in his mosque. An eloquent speaker, Mustafa uses his talent to mobilize other young Palestinians by speaking of rebellion and anger. As he is best friends with Atef, Salma worries about the influence the two have on each other as they both turn to extremism. Though Mustafa's love for a working-class girl, Aya, could provide him a way out, his fear of disappointing his mother by marrying beneath their class leads him to devote himself entirely to his cause.
In the 1967 Six-Day War, the family is uprooted to Kuwait City, though Atef and Mustafa stay behind to fight. Both men are arrested and tortured during which Atef gives up Mustafa, resulting in Mustafa's death in an Israeli jail. Though the family never recovers Mustafa's body or learns what truly happened to him, Atef blames himself for Mustafa's death and is overwhelmed by guilt which results in his downward spiral caused by PTSD and depression when he joins Alia in Kuwait.
In Kuwait City, Atef becomes withdrawn and spends most of his time writing letters that he will never send to his late best friend in an attempt to process his emotions and spare Alia's. Though Alia is less affected by her brother's death, she hates the heat and unfamiliarity of the new city, and the fact that they are unable to return to their home. However, Alia and Atef, still full of love for each other, attempt to create a happy life and have three children: Riham, Souad, and Karam.
In the increasingly globalized world, Atef worries deeply about the influence of the West on his children, though the couple still sends the three children to international schools for a better education. The family is uprooted yet again at the start of the Gulf War (1990) and is dispersed with Alia and Atef moving to Amman, Jordan and then Beirut, Lebanon, Riham living in Amman with her husband, Latif, and Souad and Karam attending university in Paris, France and Boston, United States, respectively.
Due to her close relationship with her grandmother, Salma, Riham is deeply religious. Her and her generous doctor husband, Latif, remain in Amman and care for poor patients and refugees in their shed. Though Riham wants to support this, she is traumatized by the cries of the injured at all hours and ends up somewhat resenting their generosity.
Even more rebellious than her mother, Souad has a whirlwind marriage to Elie and has two children, Manar and Zain, who grow up completely Americanized in the United States. Karam marries Budur and they raise one child, Linah, who is best friends with Zain. Though they are so dispersed, the family attempts to convene for summers with Alia and Atef in Beirut, and Riham and Latif eventually relocate there.
Zain, Manar, and Linah face racism against Arabs in the United States following 9/11, and, during their summers in Beirut, face racism against Palestinians. When visiting Beirut, the children witness war and violence as well.
The story ends with Souad, following her divorce from Elie, moving her family to Lebanon and Zain and Linah finding Atef's old letters to Mustafa. The grandchildren of Alia and Atef try to discover their family's history as Manar attempts to feel a connection to her Palestinian heritage by traveling to Jaffa. Alia is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and, as she deteriorates, longs for a feeling of belonging and home.
In 1954, Bernard Garrett wants to get into real estate but encounters racism that prevents him from being a successful real estate investor. After a chance encounter with wealthy club owner Joe Morris, he convinces Joe to be his co-investor. Together they convince Matt Steiner, a white man, to pose as the front of the company in meetings to facilitate the sales. Eventually, they become extremely successful in Los Angeles real estate, with the two teaching Matt the basics of real estate investing. The three secure a number of properties in L.A. and effectively integrate a number of previously segregated neighborhoods by selling and renting to black families. After this success, he sets his sights on the local bank in his Texas hometown to give loans to the black residents. Racist bank practices had excluded black people from receiving loans for small businesses and homeownership. Joe protests the idea at first but eventually relents and the three move to Texas.
Matt buys the bank, fronting for Bernard and Joe, but the local townspeople are extremely suspicious of this move. A bank executive tracks the records of the loans and discovers that they're giving loans to black people, follows Matt and discovers that his partners are black, then threatens them with exposure which would cause "a run on the bank." Matt persuades Joe and Bernard to purchase a second bank and put him in charge of it despite his inexperience. The racist bank executive calls in a federal investigator who checks the records of Matt's bank and discovers numerous infractions attributable to Matt's carelessness. Matt, Bernard and Joe get arrested for violating federal banking laws.
Facing a 50-year prison term, Matt takes a plea deal, falsely testifying that he was duped by Bernard and Joe. The next day, Bernard testifies passionately about black people being given the same opportunity for upward mobility as whites. He and Joe are convicted and serve time in prison; upon release, they go with Bernard's wife Eunice to live in the Bahamas in two homes which Matt had purchased for them with money Bernard had entrusted to him for that purpose the night before Bernard's testimony.

A group of friends is there too, including Chris (Jack Gordon), a spoilt brat, with his mild-mannered girlfriend, Gemma (Florence Hall), his friend Paul (Liam Boyle), with his girlfriend, the abrasive Eleanor (Jennie Jacques), and his drug-dealer friend, Luke (Alexander Vlahos).
Felix appears fond of Gemma and watches her from a distance for most of the party, catching Luke's attention. Luke provides Felix with cocaine, and convinces him to go and talk to her (although knowing of the upcoming consequences). Felix asks her out but she politely turns him down. Meanwhile, Paul and Eleanor attempt to have sex in an upstairs room, but Paul passes out drunk. Dejected, Eleanor decides instead to play truth or dare with the other party guests, downstairs.
The bottle is spun and lands on Felix, who chooses truth, and Eleanor asks him to pick anyone he would like to fulfill his fantasy with. Begrudgingly, he chooses Gemma, who appears somewhat embarrassed. Chris grows jealous and taunts Felix, before punching him. Gemma dumps Chris and runs to console Felix.
Months later, after the Christmas holidays, all five friends get an invitation to Felix's surprise birthday party. It is revealed that Felix comes from a very wealthy family, and this is realised when they arrive at his home; a beautiful, but seemingly abandoned mansion. After trying to find a way into the building, they are interrupted by the groundsman, Woodbridge (David Sterne), who tells them the correct address; a small shack half a mile down the beaten track, in the forest behind the mansion. They walk through the woods to the shack, where they are welcomed by a mysterious, handsome man named Justin (David Oakes), who reveals himself to be the elder brother of Felix.
Justin reveals that due to last-minute flight cancellation, Felix will be unable to join them for the party, but welcomes them to stay for drinks anyway. The group start to make themselves comfortable and discover that Justin is a well-trained soldier, having recently returned from three tours of Afghanistan. Justin is also revealed to be particularly homophobic, frequently and casually throwing gay slurs.
Justin suggests they play a game of truth or dare to liven up the party, and before long begins asking them questions regarding the night of the Halloween party, and reveals to everyone that he lied about Felix's absence. He tells them that Felix actually hung himself from the roof of the shack, the night after the party, with nothing but a postcard in his pocket marked "Truth or Dare, bitch!" (something Chris had said to him previously). Justin threatens that no one can leave until he knows who wrote the postcard, that he believes drove his brother to suicide. He goes on to explain how Felix's suicide has brought great shame to his family (being both highly religious and respected), and the only way to reconcile this shame is to bring justice to those deemed responsible.
When the group tries to leave, Justin shoots Chris in the leg, and convinces Luke to act as his partner throughout the night, and tie up everyone else.
Justin insists on continuing their game of truth or dare by incorporating a torture method he calls 'The Acid Test', whereby Gemma is force-fed a tube attached to two jars of identical clear liquid; one is said to be filled with tap water, and the other battery acid. Justin forces Chris to choose a jar, and fortunately he chooses the one containing water. Justin later swaps the roles, force-feeding Chris the tube, and forcing Paul to choose a jar. With Justin having swapped the position of the jars, Paul unintentionally chooses the one containing acid, and Chris chokes to death, bleeding heavily from his mouth.
Before Justin can continue, the group is interrupted by an intruder, knocking at the door (who is revealed to be Luke's drug-dealer friend, Jonesy (Jason Maza), who followed them to the party). After Luke fails to convince Jonesy to leave, Justin intervenes by breaking his arm and threatening to shoot him, before handing the gun to Luke and gives him an ultimatum; given there is a 50-50 chance of firing either a blank or a bullet, he can either risk shooting Jonesy, killing him, or shooting Justin, and being able to leave with his surviving friends. Justin assures Luke should he shoot a blank at Jonesy, he can go free, but should he shoot a blank at him, he will kill him instead. Reluctantly, Luke shoots at Jonesy, killing him. Meanwhile, Gemma loosens her binds and escapes through the back window.
Upon returning to the shack and finding Gemma missing, Justin leaves to find her, while Luke remains to keep watch on Paul and Eleanor.
Gemma reaches the mansion, and searches for help, but is terrified to find Felix, alive but bed-ridden and almost completely paralysed. Woodbridge arrives and, aiming a shotgun at Gemma, reveals that it was he who found Felix hanging in the shack and has been caring for him ever since - he and Gemma get into a scuffle, and in an attempt to wrestle his gun away from her, he is fatally wounded. Justin arrives at the house, and breaks Gemma's neck in front of Felix, before taunting his brother with her corpse.
Meanwhile, back at the shack, Luke is reluctant to free Paul and Eleanor, claiming that as he has gained Justin's trust and is also responsible for killing Jonesy, he hopes Justin will use his connections to keep him from punishment. He also reveals that it was him who sent the postcard. However, after convincing him to help her snort cocaine while she is tied up, Eleanor bites off Luke's little finger, sending him flying backwards and impaling himself in the back of the head on a tool lying on the floor, killing him. Freeing themselves, Paul and Eleanor attempt to escape, but with Paul's leg wound bleeding out they do not get far, before Justin returns with Felix, in a wheelchair. The three break out into a brawl, wherein Eleanor manages to both shoot Justin in the shoulder, and severely scald him by smashing the jar of battery acid over his head.
Justin later awakens tied to a post by Eleanor, as Paul attempts to start Justin's car outside for them to make their escape. Eleanor reveals that it was never really the postcard that drove Felix to suicide, but in fact, a video she had blackmailed him with in exchange for money to help save her father's failing business. She explains that after Felix was humiliated in the game of truth or dare, she seduced and convinced him to perform oral sex on the unconscious Paul, upstairs - the fear of his brother discovering his questionable sexuality was what led Felix to attempted suicide. She then gives Felix a grenade and escapes with Paul, while the house blows up, killing both the brothers.
''Creaks'' begins in the bedroom of the unnamed player character, who is seen sitting at his desk when the light flickers and dies, and the wallpaper peels away to reveal a secret tunnel behind his wall. The protagonist ventures through the newly discovered tunnel and, after climbing down a ladder, finds himself in a massive mansion-like structure contained within an enormous cavern. He encounters aggressive monsters that become harmless inanimate objects when seen under the light. He also discovers that there is a giant feline monster slowly destroying the mansion by climbing on it.
While exploring the underground world, the protagonist also meets several friendly bird-like people; an elderly bird person searching for a codex in order to defeat the giant monster, a younger bird person who tries to fight it with weapons and traps, a scientist bird person, and a small mechanic with a pipe for a head.
The protagonist eventually reaches the bottom of the mansion, where he finds the scientist and the mechanic fighting the giant monster. It swallows the mechanic before retreating, and the scientist, saddened, leads the protagonist to her workshop, where it is revealed that she originally built the giant creature to power the mansion. The elder then arrives with the codex and reveals plans about a crystal, which the scientist builds a container lantern for. She then takes the protagonist further down into the sewers in search of it. He finds the crystal in a cavern and puts it into the lantern, creating a light that can defeat the giant monster.
They begin climbing back up to the top of the mansion, regroup with the other two bird folk, and prepare to fight the monster. The protagonist jumps into its mouth, encountering the mechanic still alive - the monster is entire made out of household objects. The protagonist releases the crystal, destroying the monster and rescuing the mechanic in the process. With the monster defeated, the protagonist says goodbye to the bird folk and climbs back up to his bedroom, closes the entrance to the underground world behind his wallpaper, and opens his window to find that it is now day time.

When a deadly virus decimates Earth, a man and other survivors must utilize weapons to battle rampaging, bloodthirsty zombies.
King Arthur, looking out of the window of his court at Caerleon, sees a boat with a dead knight on it. The body has a lance thrust through it, and has five rings in its hand. Gawain is the only one able to remove the lance, but is unable to remove the rings. While no-one is looking, another knight comes and takes the five rings. Kay, alerted by a valet, pursues him.
Kay, however, is defeated by a mysterious knight, and Gawain is sent instead. Despite warnings from a local cowherd, Gawain enters the castle of the Black Knight, where he is attacked. He defeats the Black Knight, who begs for his life, and Gawain spares him on the condition he becomes his vassal.
While riding, they come across a hunting party from the court of Gautdestroit. They allow the hunting party to hunt and kill a white stag, and Gawain accompanies them to meet her. Alerted by a servant girl (called Marot), Gawain introduces himself to the court as Kay. Gautdestroit reveals that she plans to capture and kill Gawain, who spurned her after winning a tournament. Furthermore, she has his brother, Gahariet, in prison.
Gawain escapes with Gahariet, returning to the nearby castle of the Black Knight, where they are besieged by Gautdestroit. Overwhelmed, Gawain and Gahariet leave to go and get help. They go to the court of King Arthur.
Gawain finds the boat the knight traveled on and enters. It takes him to Scotland where he meets a woman dressed with all her clothes inside out or back-to-front. She says she's promised to wear her clothes like this until she meets Gawain, the knight destined to avenge her husband, Raguidel. She reveals her husband's killer is called Guingasouin, and his weapons are enchanted, so that only the broken lance from her husband's body (which Gawain has kept) can kill him.
Gawain finds and attacks Guingasouin, who is impervious to his weapons. Gawain uses the broken lance to pierce his hauberk, and he flees. Guingasouin demands a fresh battle with fresh weapons in front of his barons. Gawain defeats Guingasouin, and when he refuses to ask for mercy, Gawain kills him.

The Magistrate (Mark Rylance) manages an outpost on the desert frontiers of an unnamed Empire. His careful management has kept the peace for many years and there are only minor misunderstandings. All that changes with the arrival of Colonel Joll (Johnny Depp), who is acting as part of a mysterious plan set in motion by the centre of the empire. The Magistrate tries his best but Colonel Joll remains antagonistic. Colonel Joll insists on interrogating an innocent man and his nephew for sheep rustling. Colonel Joll is determined to follow his process for getting the truth, which requires brutal torture. The Magistrate does not understand Joll, or his methods, or his goals. Colonel Joll then forces the tortured nephew to escort him and a detachment of soldiers to his tribe, where numerous women and elderly men are taken into custody as "prisoners of war".
Colonel Joll departs the next day, which prompts the Magistrate to immediately release the prisoners and send them home. A few months later, a former prisoner with two broken ankles (Gana Bayarsaikhan) is seen panhandling in the streets. The Magistrate gives her food and shelter, and attempts to heal her broken ankles. Some of the soldiers mistake this act of kindness for an act of lust, believing that the Magistrate intends to keep the girl as a concubine. The Magistrate learns of all the tortures and hardships the girl has gone through, including the death of her father. He asks her to stay at the fort, but promises to return her to her people if she does not wish to stay. The girl chooses the latter.
After a long and arduous journey through the desert, the Magistrate approaches the nomads in the mountains hoping to restore relations with them, but the nomads are upset and only the Magistrate's reputation and the knowledge that he helped one of their own keeps the tribesmen from butchering him and his escorts. The Magistrate returns to find Officer Mandel (Robert Pattinson), Colonel Joll's underling, has been assigned to command the fort. Officer Mandel immediately takes the Magistrate into custody, accuses him of treachery, and strips him of his office.
The Magistrate is eventually released, but when he tries to help "prisoners of war" being mistreated by Mandel's soldiers, the soldiers beat and abuse him. He is then brought in for questioning and accused of consorting with the enemy for helping the nomad girl. The Magistrate is publicly shamed and has his home and possessions confiscated, while Colonel Joll departs with a large force to wipe out the mountain nomads. The Magistrate, now disheveled, poor, homeless, and ostracized by his countrymen, is taken in by one of his former servants (Greta Scacchi), who feeds and clothes him.
One morning, a horse carrying the corpse of one of Colonel Joll's men walks into the fort. Officer Mandel walks away in fear and quickly resigns his command. The local imperial colonists feel betrayed and abandoned, fearing that the barbarians will take revenge on them without any soldiers to man the fort. As Officer Mandel and his men depart, the Magistrate takes advantage of the chaos to move back into his original home. Soon enough, Colonel Joll returns with only a handful of survivors. The Magistrate goes to see a pensive and defeated Colonel Joll sitting in his carriage, seeming completely detached from reality while his soldiers hastily gather provisions and horses. As the colonists angrily pelt them with stones, the Colonel and his men depart the fort later that evening.
The Magistrate returns to a town bereft of young men, where boys play-pretend to stand guard around scarecrows dressed as soldiers by the gates of the fort. The movie closes with a shadow approaching the Magistrate standing alone in the courtyard, and a cloud of dust on the horizon - dust thrown up by an army of apparently nomadic warriors headed towards the fort.
Aziah "Zola" King, a self-assured waitress and part-time stripper in Detroit, meets Stefani, an outgoing and crass fellow stripper, while serving her at work. Stefani invites Zola to dance with her at a club that night, and the two form a quick friendship. The next day, Stefani proposes that Zola join her on a road trip to Tampa, Florida, the location of a strip club where Stefani claims the two can make significant money. Zola joins Stefani; her mysterious roommate, X; and Stefani's sheepish boyfriend, Derrek, on a road trip.
Upon arriving in Tampa, Stefani, Zola, and X leave Derrek at a seedy motel while they visit the club where Stefani claims her friends earned over $5,000 in one night. The two perform at the club, but do not net nearly as much as Stefani insisted they would. After, Zola learns that Stefani and X have posted photos of her and Stefani in a Backpage advertisement selling a night of sex with them. Zola attempts to leave, but is threatened by X, who reveals himself to be Stefani's pimp.
X brings the women to an upscale hotel, where Stefani proceeds to have sex with a male client. Zola, who does not wish to participate, is incredulous when she learns that X is charging only $150 per client. Zola edits the Backpage advertisement, changing the rate to $500 to help Stefani earn more money; by the end of the night, Stefani has made over $8,000. X is initially insulted by Zola's intervention, but quickly grows impressed. Meanwhile, Derrek, left to his own devices, befriends a man named Dion whom he meets at the motel. When X, Stefani, and Zola return to the motel, X is enraged to discover that Derrek informed Dion about their reason for visiting Tampa. Worried that Dion and his associates will rob them, X forces the group to flee.
After arriving at another hotel, X arranges for Stefani to see more clients at various locations, while a reluctant Zola stands by to ensure Stefani's safety. When Derrek realizes Stefani is again engaging in prostitution, he argues with her, revealing to Zola that Stefani has manipulated other dancers into unwittingly participating in similar prostitution rackets. Zola is angered and loses all trust in Stefani. Derrek and Stefani's quarreling is interrupted when X bursts in with Baybe, his lover and madam, who is armed with a gun. After calming the situation, X gives Zola a gun for the women's protection, and Stefani and Zola are sent out so Stefani can continue to meet with clients.
After Stefani engages in a gang bang at a private residence, the two women visit another hotel, where a client has responded to their Backpage ad. Upon opening the hotel room door, Stefani is grabbed by the client and forced into the room. A terrified Zola flees and calls X and Derrek on her phone. The three return to the room and find the men inside are Dion and an accomplice, armed with shotguns, who have posed as clients in order to rob Stefani of her earnings. At gunpoint, X offers the men $50,000, along with possession of Zola, if they let him and Derrek leave with Stefani, who has been beaten unconscious. As Zola is digitally penetrated against her will by Dion, X manages to draw the gun Zola has in her purse, then shoots Dion in the throat. The group flee the hotel, disposing of Dion's guns by throwing them into the Tampa Bay.
The group eventually arrives at a large, luxurious home X shares with Baybe. X finally allows Zola to leave and proclaims his possession of Stefani, but Derrek threatens to commit suicide should Stefani remain loyal to X. Derrek immediately throws himself over a balcony, landing on concrete below and injuring his head. Zola, Stefani, and X leave to take Derrek to the hospital. In the car, Stefani proclaims her love for Zola, but is met with cool disgust as an exhausted Zola looks out the window and ignores her.
Businesswoman Gwen Olsen, former police officer Patrick Sullivan, step-brothers J. D. and Brax Weaver, and teenager Melanie Cole arrive at Fantasy Island, a tropical resort where fantasies apparently come true. Upon arrival, island proprietor Mr. Roarke guides the guests to their fantasies: Patrick is enlisted in a war in honor of his late father; the Weavers become honor guests at a mansion rave; Melanie takes revenge on her childhood bully Sloane Maddison; and Gwen accepts her ex-boyfriend Allen Chambers' marriage proposal, which she rejected many years ago.
Melanie learns that Sloane was kidnapped and brought to Fantasy Island against her will. She saves her from a masked surgeon and both run away. Meanwhile, Patrick is captured by a military platoon and taken to their commander, Lieutenant Sullivan, whom Patrick recognizes as his father. As night falls, the surgeon attacks Melanie and Sloane again before Damon, a private investigator, kills him. Damon reveals that Roarke offered him to see his deceased daughter again. However, his fantasy turned into a nightmare that trapped him on the island. He also explains that the fantasies are created by spring water under a glowing rock on a cave. The trio collect some spring water and heads to the resort for help. Gwen wakes up the next morning to find she has a daughter with Allen and becomes dissatisfied. When Roarke explains that the fantasies must be fulfilled so that his own fantasy of being with his deceased wife can continue, Gwen convinces him to give her the fantasy she really wanted: to save a neighbour who died in a fire.
Unknown to the guests, Fantasy Island begins to turn the fantasies into living nightmares as the Weavers are taken hostage by a drug cartel associated with the mansion's owner, and Gwen is taken to the night she accidentally started a fire that killed her neighbor Nick Taylor. She finds out that the other guests, except Melanie, were also there and attempts to save Nick, fails and is rescued by Roarke's assistant, Julia. Elsewhere, Sullivan's soldiers are summoned to rescue the Weavers. After being shot dead, the cartel reanimate as zombies who attack the soldiers. In the ensuing gunfight, J. D. is fatally shot and Sullivan sacrifices himself so Patrick and Brax can escape.
Melanie and Sloane are ambushed by the zombified surgeon until Damon leaps over a cliff with him, saving them at the cost of his own life. The remaining guests regroup at the resort, but are cornered by Roarke, who reveals that they are in a fantasy in which they are all killed. Realizing that everyone was involved in Nick's death (Melanie says that Nick asked her out that night and she turned him down, which is the reason he was in the apartment), the guests assume it is Julia's fantasy as they believe that Julia was Nick's mother. The guests escape to the dock to be rescued by a plane sent by Damon's associates, but it is shot down. In response, the guests run to the cave to destroy the glowing rock with a grenade Patrick is carrying. Suddenly, Melanie stabs Patrick and takes Sloane hostage, revealing that it is her true fantasy. She orchestrated their arrival to seek revenge on them for Nick's death, with whom she had a date and was convinced was her soulmate. Julia is revealed to be Roarke's wife, brought back by the power of the island dying of a terminal disease she was suffering from when she met Roarke, and convinces him to help the guests before disappearing.
Sloane remembers the spring water she collected before and wishes Melanie "to be" forever with Nick. As a result, a zombified Nick attacks Melanie and drags her into the water. Before drowning, Melanie detonates the grenade, but Patrick sacrifices himself and falls on it to protect the others. As the fantasy concludes, Gwen, Sloane, and Brax wake up at the resort, where Roarke agrees to let them go. While the guests board a plane to leave the now-purified Fantasy Island, Brax wishes for J. D. to come back to life but Roarke explains Brax must stay on the island for his fantasy to come true. After Gwen, Sloane, and a resurrected J. D. depart, Roarke asks Brax to become his new assistant. Remembering a nickname J. D. gave him, Brax chooses to rename himself "Tattoo", initiating the events of the 1977 television series.
An alien race called the Quetzals flee the destruction of the solar system's tenth planet and find shelter on Earth, hidden under the South Pole. They construct underground cities out of their own excrement, with large networks of caves reaching up to humans' water and sewage systems. When the United States begins nuclear weapons tests in the 1940s, the Quetzals prepare a counterattack. They use their telepathic powers to distort Earth's culture, sowing hatred and violence, and they infiltrate human society with human replicants.
This causes many of the crises of the twentieth century—political assassinations, civil wars growing out of the Cold War, and economic collapses under neoliberal austerity. Harry S. Truman establishes the Central Intelligence Agency to wage a secret war against the Quetzals. The CIA mounts plots against various replicants in Latin America—Jacobo Árbenz in Guatemala, Fidel Castro in Cuba, and Salvador Allende in Chile. The Quetzals retaliate by assassinating John F. Kennedy and infiltrating the Democratic Party. The secret war escalates, and the Panama Canal is flooded with radioactive waste, melting the polar ice caps and flooding the entire planet. A small group of the political elite board spaceships to escape Earth. From space, they rejoice in the planet's destruction.
When the Thirteenth Doctor attempts to return to present-day Sheffield, the TARDIS instead brings her and her friends to Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. Before attempting to leave, the Doctor finds that there are traces of artron energy in the area from another time travel device. Deciding to investigate, the group learn that they have arrived the day before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat as bus driver James F. Blake demanded on 1 December, effectively influencing the civil rights movement. Tracing the energy, the group locate a suitcase of equipment from the future, but are unable to learn more when they are forced to flee when its owner attempts to hit them with a time displacement device. The Doctor suspects he is trying to alter Parks' history.
Leaving her friends to research everything behind the critical moment on 1 December, the Doctor returns to examine the suitcase's contents, before using it to shield herself from its owner — a rehabilitated mass murderer named Krasko. The Doctor learns that Krasko seeks to prevent the Montgomery bus boycott from occurring, but cannot simply kill Parks, since his neural implants prevent him from killing any living being. The Doctor is unable to convince him to abandon his plan, despite taking his time displacement device and destroying his vortex manipulator. When the Doctor learns that Krasko had arranged for Blake to take the day off, she and her friends focus on keeping history on track despite Krasko working to counter their efforts.
Ryan encounters Krasko blocking the bus route with a car after removing false notices at bus stops, learning that Krasko succeeded in keeping the bus from reaching its passenger quota. Ryan learns that Krasko's actions are motivated by his deeply racist views, and uses the criminal's own displacement device to send him into the past to stop him completely. Removing the blockade, he and the others rejoin the Doctor on the bus as passengers before reaching Empire Theater. As the moment arrives, the Doctor realises they have become integral to events, and is forced to keep them aboard the bus. After witnessing Parks being arrested by the police for violating segregation laws, the group return to the TARDIS where the Doctor shows them the impact Rosa has had on history, leading to an asteroid being named in her honour in the future.
The prison of Stormcage, mentioned in "Rosa" when the Thirteenth Doctor recognises a tattoo on the arm of Krasko, was featured in episodes of the Eleventh Doctor, primarily as the place where River Song serves time for the "murder" of her husband.
Marshal Jeff sends his friend Whit Gordon to help Tombstone, a city where Bull and his gang rule with help of the Sheriff and the Judge.
The film opens in 1975 with the character Kamachi Yamada (Shinya Tanuichi), who strives to be the best he can be. His motto throughout his life was "24 hours a day is not enough." However, when he fails to get into an elite school, he enlists in a cram school, where he meets Yoko (Fumiko Himeno), with whom he falls in love. After confessing his love, she suggests they remain friends, much to his dismay.
Twenty years later, Shun (Hiroki Nakadoi) starts a web site, calling for people to "enter another world." A girl, Miyuki (Akane Osawa), and a boy, Yuichi (Keita Furuya), respond. All three attend the same cram school, where Yoko (Fumi Dan) is by then an instructor. Miyuki purchases sleeping pills from Shun. Throughout the film, Yoko helps the troubled teens in breaking away from the use of drugs and learning to live in the moment. At the end, she tells Miyuki about Kamachi, who was trying to live his life to the fullest, and how much he loved her.
In 1977, two years after Kamachi and Yoko met, Kamachi had received the news that his studying paid off and he was accepted into an elite high school. It was also the day when Yoko had told Kamachi that it was possible they would not remain friends forever. In 1977, at the age of seventeen, Kamachi lost his life due to being electrocuted from malfunctioning musical equipment. His death was caused by the very guitar he was given for his birthday a few months prior.
