''The Adventure of the Jade Jaguar'' is a solitaire adventure where a single player must foil the villainous Jade Jaguar, who has roused natives into a crude fighting force, and seized explorer Professor Jackson and her colleagues.

The play purports to describe how the colonist Nathaniel Bacon and a volunteer force of Indian fighters temporarily succeeded in overthrowing the government of Sir William Berkeley. Behn portrays Bacon as a heroic figure motivated by honor, and in love with Semernia, an Indian princess.

Behn's play has four plots featuring virtually separate casts of characters. One of these is the young and outrageous widow Ranter, who puts on men’s clothes and fights in several battles. Many of the supporting characters present an unflattering portrayal of colonial life in Virginia.

The work ends happily for most characters, with the major exceptions of Bacon, Semernia and the Indian king Cavarnio.

Quinn Ackerman, a quirky and intelligent high school senior living with her single mother, works as a technical director for the Thunderbirds, her high school's elite dance team, which is well known around the state as the reigning champions of the Work It dance competition. When Quinn spills coffee on the control panel and ruins a live performance, the ruthless leader of the Thunderbirds, Julliard Pembroke, fires her from the position.

Quinn's dream to attend Duke University, her late father's alma mater, is soured when the admissions counselor, Veronica Ramirez, informs that her application is too similar to the other applicants, and that her chances of standing out to the admission's team are not good. Quinn misleads Ramirez into thinking that she is a dancer on the Thunderbirds, even though she only worked the lighting. Despite this, Ramirez is instantly impressed, and vows to see her perform live at the Work It dance competition. Though she considers confessing to her white lie, Quinn instead decides to commit to it, realizing it's her only chance of getting into Duke. Quinn enlists the help of her best friend, Jasmine Hale, who is a dancer for the Thunderbirds herself, to teach her how to dance and prepare her for the team's open auditions in two weeks. Quinn's dancing skills improve substantially by the time of the audition, but Julliard still rejects her. After Jasmine stands up to him and defends Quinn, Julliard sarcastically suggests that the two start their own dance team, which Quinn does. Jasmine reluctantly agrees to quit the Thunderbirds in favor of Quinn's new team, but is worried about not being scouted by a recruiter from a dance academy in New York City.

Quinn and Jasmine research a former champion of the Work It competition, Jake Taylor, who stopped competing and vanished after a knee injury two years prior. Quinn tracks him down and approaches him at the dance studio where he now works, and asks him to be a choreographer for her team, but Jake rejects her, insisting that dance is done with passion, and can't be learned by thinking. Meanwhile, the girls round up a group of unknown dancers at their school who all differ in style, including Raven, a goth and rocker; Chris, a soccer player; DJ Tapes, a kid who sells mixtapes; Robby, a karate student; and Priya, an Indian style dancer. After seeing the team's potential during an informal dance meetup, Jake agrees to choreograph for Quinn's team at Work It, but only if they can win the upcoming qualifying competition by themselves. With Jake's permission the team practices in the studio where he works. Under the name "TBD", they cut qualifiers but on a technicality issue with an opposing team. Jake concludes that they need much improvement and have a lot of work to do if they want to win at Work It.

Jake and Quinn spend more time together, and Quinn confesses that she's not sure that she truly wants to attend Duke anymore but feels she has to because of the time and effort she and her mother put into it. One night, Jake takes her aside and decides to experiment with freestyle dancing with her. As the two practice, Quinn's talent surfaces, and they kiss. With newfound confidence, Quinn takes it easier on herself and puts more effort into her dancing and teamwork.

Quinn emails Veronica Ramirez and informs her that she has started her own team and that they will be competing at Work It. However, when Julliard discovers that Jake is choreographing for the Quinn's team, he turns them in for using the studio to practice without paying, and Jake loses his job. Quinn's grades drop due to her dedication to the team, and she receives an email from the Duke admissions team informing her that Veronica no longer works there. Quinn confesses everything to her mom, and they agree that she should quit the dance team and bring her grades up before turning in her final transcript. The team feels betrayed by Quinn's departure, especially Jasmine, who rejoins the Thunderbirds, and Quinn ends her romance with Jake after deciding she doesn't have the time for it.

While working at the nursing home, Quinn has a conversation with an older woman named Ruthie, who encourages her to not waste all her time studying, but rather to live her life to the fullest. While stamping books, Quinn starts listening to music and begins to "get out of her head", as Jake told her, and dance. She rediscovers her own passion for dance and reconciles with Jake, and they both decide to bring the team back together. Quinn reconciles with Jasmine, who quits the Thunderbirds and rejoins the TBDs.

The group begins to learn each other's unique dance styles, and Jake incorporates them into the choreography. On the day of the competition, Quinn's mother discovers that she is still in dance, and tries to stop her from leaving, but Quinn steals the car keys and leaves. When Quinn arrives, the TBDs are already on stage, and she enters halfway through the act. Quinn dances with the team and sees her mother in the audience, clearly proud of her daughter. The TBDs narrowly win the competition over the Thunderbirds, and both Jasmine and Julliard are approached by a scout from the New York Dance Academy. Quinn runs into Veronica, who is now working at NYU, and she invites her to apply for the fall semester.

Later on, it is revealed that, on another stormy night about 15 years before, another man and his pregnant wife had arrived at the hotel hoping to stay one night. Remedios, who was a deeply disturbed but religious woman, had been praying to God for Him to let her have children. The pregnant woman went into labor and had no choice but to give birth right away; Remedios helped her give birth, but then killed her by asphyxiating her by pulling a pillow on top of her face, in order to keep the children, which she saw as God's answer to her prayers. Upon seeing his wife dead on the hotel room bed, her husband attacked Remedios, trying to kill her and regain the newborn children. But Jacinto saw this and hit him on the back of his head with a hammer, killing him instantly.

Afraid that Jacinto was about to reveal all of this to the kids, Remedios kills him and then places a rope over his neck so that it is apparent he committed suicide instead. The teens find his body and then she runs into his room and starts crying and yelling at them, telling them its their fault that he killed himself. After they leave the room, she stops crying and talks to Jacinto's dead body, then the kids learn their parents' fate and how they got to live in the hotel.

Confronted by the teens, Remedios kills them. At this point in the film, the second couple arrives at the hotel, returning to the film's starting scene. Remedios comfortably and amicably chats with them, offering them free breakfast the next morning.

After taking her into the woods, she cannibalised her to consume her power and has been luring children to their deaths in the guise of an elderly woman ever since.

Holda drugs Gretel and straps her down in the cellar, where she intends for her to eat Hansel. Now in the form of a young woman, Holda lures Hansel into a cage atop a large fire pit so she can cook him.

She pins Holda against the wall, where she slowly burns to death over the fire, awaking Hansel from his trance.

The next morning, Gretel assures her brother that Holda is gone and sends him back home. Their mother is implied to have died and Hansel will work as a woodsman.

In August 1943, Pilot Officer Maude Garrett, a female flight officer, is assigned to travel with a top secret package from Auckland, New Zealand, to Samoa. When she arrives at the airbase, she sees a ground crew ramp worker disappear, just before suddenly finding herself standing right in front of her transport, an American B-17 bomber named ''The Fool's Errand''. The bomber's crew gives her a mostly derisive welcome, and she is quartered in the empty Sperry Ball turret for the takeoff. With no room left for her document valise, she reluctantly allows the only friendly crew member, Staff Sergeant Walter Quaid, to store it.

While stuck in the ball turret, Maude sees some sort of winged creature clinging to the underside of the bomber's wing. She reports it, but most of the crew, except Private Beckell, who also sees it, derides her claim. When she is allowed to leave the turret, the hatch malfunctions, trapping her inside. When she reacts indignantly to the crew's comments about her situation, they abandon their attempt to open the stuck hatch and the intercom suddenly goes dead. After seeing a Japanese aircraft appearing and disappearing in the clouds close to the bomber, she is abruptly attacked by the creature, a gremlin. She fights it off but ends up being injured. When the crew contacts her again to ask what happened, a radio message comes in telling them that "Maude Garrett" does not exist and is not registered for their flight. When they begin to remove her for questioning, Maude deliberately jams the turret's gears and prepares to defend herself. Suddenly, the Japanese aircraft reappears and opens fire. Taking control of the gun turret, she shoots down the fighter, winning the crew's grudging respect.

While continuing to talk with the crew, Maude admits she is actually married and boarded the B-17 under her maiden name. She refuses to reveal her mission, citing its secrecy. She again sees the gremlin continuing to sabotage the bomber. Eventually, Private Dorn sights it too, but the others disregard his observation. Suspecting Maude's assignment is the cause of their misfortunes, Reeves gives the order to open the bag, which contains an infant, Maude's and Sgt. Quaid's extramarital child. Forced to confess, Maude explains that she was severely mistreated by her husband. She had an affair with Quaid and became pregnant. Deciding not to inform Quaid, Maude faked her assignment to the bomber in order to escape her husband, who is following her and will kill her in his rage over the affair.

Just as Captain Reeves turns back to the airbase, three Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters attack and the gremlin boards the bomber, injures Quaid, and kidnaps the infant. When the gremlin appears outside before the turret with her baby in the bag, Maude exits the turret and fires her handgun at it, driving it off. The bag is now hanging precariously from the closest engine nacelle. Risking a perilous climb under the wing, Maude is able to retrieve her child and reboard the bomber through the now shot away ball turret opening. The gremlin attacks again, throwing Technical Sergeant Taggart out of the bomber before Maude can eject it. When Reeves, Lieutenant Finch, and Dorn are killed by additional Japanese machine gun fire, Maude takes command and brings down the shot up bomber roughly but safely in a controlled crash landing on land. The gremlin reappears on the ground and tries to snatch the baby once again, but Maude is finally able to kill the creature, ending the threat. She and the remaining survivors watch as ''The Fool's Errand'' burns and explodes.

Three days after Lucrio leaves, the princess Femysade chooses Aqib as her husband; they marry and have a daughter, Lucretia. Aqib is summoned to a meeting with two Olorumi deities, who grant him the ability to communicate with animals. Femysade leaves her family to live with the gods.

In the Royal Menagerie, Lucrio asks Aqib to leave Olorum with him. Torn between love for Lucrio and loyalty to his family and religion, Aqib declines. Later that night, he regrets this choice and attempts to leave, but is prevented by his father and the Corporal. Due to Femysade's jealousy, the gods erase all memories of Lucrio from Aqib's mind. At the age of 89, Aqib dies.

It is revealed that Aqib actually chose to leave the Menagerie with Lucrio. For decades, he wondered if he had made the correct choice. Once per lifetime, a Sibylline Oracle allows supplicants to ask for one miracle. The Oracle offered Aqib the chance to live another life as if he had stayed in Olorum. In return for this vision, Aqib dips his hand into a jar of honey, and the Oracle consumes it. Aqib realizes that he made the correct choice. Despite the fact that Lucretia does not exist, he and Lucrio have made their own family in Daluz. Aqib realizes that he can now understand the language of animals, just as he did in his vision of another life.

Set in 2012, Simon Masrani is planning a secretive new exhibit at his Jurassic World dinosaur theme park on the island of Isla Nublar. Park worker Claire Dearing is responsible for ensuring that three dinosaurs – ''Baryonyx'', ''Carnotaurus'' and ''Stygimoloch'' – are transported from Isla Sorna to Isla Nublar to become part of the new exhibit. If Claire does well, Simon will make her assistant manager of park operations. Animal behaviorist Owen Grady is hired to transport the dinosaurs to Isla Nublar, along with four ''Velociraptor'' eggs. Owen and his helicopter pilot face a thunderstorm while transporting the dinosaurs, but eventually reach Isla Nublar safely. Upon arrival, the eggs hatch and Vic Hoskins is intent on training the velociraptors to obey commands. Owen is disappointed to learn that his job is not over yet, as he still has to transport the three dinosaurs by truck to the other side of Isla Nublar. During the transportation, a boy hijacks a park tour vehicle and takes it for a joyride across the island. Owen, accompanied by his dog Red, follows the boy and stops him. Claire proceeds with transporting the dinosaurs on her own. Meanwhile, Simon wants his scientists, Dr. Henry Wu and Allison Miles, to create a new dinosaur attraction to increase park attendance. Eventually, he decides to have them bake dinosaur-themed cookies to accompany the opening of his new exhibit.

In the second half of the special, disgruntled park worker Danny Nedermeyer infiltrates the park's control room and secretly sabotages operations. Owen reunites with Claire and helps her transport the dinosaurs. At Owen's insistence, they take a shortcut, but their truck plummets down a hill and crashes, and the caged dinosaurs escape. In addition, Danny shuts down power to one of the dinosaur enclosures, allowing the park's ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' to escape. Owen manages to get the dinosaurs contained, and Vic is impressed with Owen's ability to control the animals. Owen agrees to Vic's job offer to train the four baby raptors. Simon's exhibit, consisting of a three-dinosaur carousel, opens to the public. Danny is revealed to be the nephew of Dennis Nedry as he secretly vows to continue his efforts to bring down Jurassic World.

One year after the events of the last film, King Richard and Queen Amber of Aldovia are preparing to welcome their first child. During a press conference, the royal couple tell the public they do not know the gender of their baby and keep all possible names secret, even from their family. Richard’s previously villainous cousin, Simon, who is still trying to regain his family’s trust, reveals he invited Melissa, Amber’s close friend, to Aldovia for Christmas. Melissa tells Amber she and Simon are in love, much to Amber's surprise.

Amber and Richard prepare for the signing of a treaty which honours the peace found between Aldovia and their greatest ally, Penglia. On Christmas Eve 1419, both Prince Claude of Aldovia and the Penglian Prince Jun signed the treaty, ending an ongoing feud between them. It has been renewed every 100 years since. Amber is excited to be the first Aldovian queen to sign it but she is told the Penglians will not permit this.

On 20 December, King Tai and Queen Ming of Penglia arrive in Aldovia. Amber tries to convince Ming the two of them should join their husbands in signing the treaty but Ming refuses. Before the royals can sign the treaty, they discover it has been stolen. Since a blizzard has closed all airports, Amber and Richard deduce the treaty must still be in the palace, along with the thief. The palace staff launch an investigation. Meanwhile Richard’s sister, Princess Emily, learns about an ancient legend that states a deadly curse will befall the firstborn child of the monarchs responsible for breaking the treaty. She realises that would be Amber and Richard’s baby.

As Amber worries about the deadline for completing the tradition approaching, her dad, Rudy, convinces her to throw her baby shower despite the blizzard stopping the majority of the guests from getting there. With the help of Sahil and her old friend Andy, Amber enjoys a beautiful baby shower. Ming gifts her a handmade present and Tai helps Richard build the baby's crib. He tells Richard he is more than willing to let Amber and Ming sign the treaty but says that Ming is worried that by doing so, her country will think she seeks credit. At the shower, Ming and Tai's attaché, Lynn, bonds with Simon over their Oxford days together, which makes Melissa jealous.

As Christmas and the deadline for the signing of the treaty approach, Richard brings in a sniffer dog to locate the treaty. While the dog searches, the family visit Aldovia's Christmas market. The Penglians are impressed by how loved and respected Amber and Richard are by their people. Mr. Zabala reports that the dog’s search came out futile. Overwhelmed, Amber faints.

Back at the palace, Amber assures Richard she is fine, but he advises her to rest. Emily arrives and tells the couple about the legend. While Richard rebuffs it as superstitious nonsense, Amber is terrified and refuses to give up looking for the treaty. Melissa spies on Simon and Lynn and retrieves a discarded piece of paper Simon threw away. She shows Amber and Richard and they are shocked to discover it is a detailed account of Aldovia's debt to Penglia over the years. While Aldovia's latest economic scheme has reduced it drastically, the kingdom still owes its allies $1 billion and, if the treaty is not found, Aldovia would owe it immediately. Amber pleads with Melissa to make sure Simon doesn’t suspect anything and, despite being heartbroken and feeling betrayed, she agrees.

Just then, Amber goes into labor. Richard summons Dr. Magoro to the palace, but the doctor's car becomes stuck in a snow bank. Richard sets out on horseback to rescue her. Queen Ming, who worked at a maternity hospital, and Melissa guide Amber through her contractions. Amber realises something, and instructs Emily to search the castle dungeons with her mother, Queen Helena. While searching, the pair are trapped in a cell. Richard finds Dr Magoro and they hurry back to the palace. Trying to escape, Emily and her mother find the missing treaty hidden under a stone. Using her hair clip, Helena frees them both.

With the treaty found, the kings prepare to sign. Ming decides she wants to add her name on the treaty as well, much to the delight of Amber. At 11:59 pm on 24 December 2019, King Richard, King Tai, Queen Ming and Queen Amber sign the treaty. Amber reveals the culprit behind the treaty’s disappearance: Mr Little. She discovered that Mr Little’s mother’s maiden name was Devin, the same surname as Prince Claude, who was allegedly poisoned by Prince Jun following the original signing of the treaty. Claude’s family swore vengeance. Little confesses but swears he never intended to harm the royal baby. Helena has Little sent to the dungeons. Despite this, Melissa demands to know why Simon had the accounts for Aldovia's debt. Simon reveals he and Lynn were trying to add economic amendments to the treaty which would benefit both kingdoms. He then pulls out a ring box and proposes to Melissa, who happily accepts.

Amber’s contractions intensify and Doctor Magoro orders everyone except Richard out of the room. With Richard’s help, Amber gives birth to a healthy baby girl, whom the couple name Princess Elleri after Amber’s late mother. Elleri's birth is officially announced to the public. The film closes with Amber writing her last blog post, thanking her readers for supporting her through the years and, on behalf of Richard, Elleri and the whole of Aldovia, she wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

In 19th-century Norway, Jesper Johansen is the lazy, spoiled, self-centered son of the Royal Postmaster General, who has enrolled Jesper into his postman training academy hoping that it will reform him. Jesper deliberately underperforms, forcing his father to finally send him to the distant, northern island town of Smeerensburg with the task of posting six-thousand letters within a year. If Jesper fails, he will be cut off from the family's fortune. Upon arrival, it is explained to Jesper by sarcastic ferryman Mogens, and bitter teacher-turned-fishmonger Alva, that the town's two familial clans—the Ellingboes and the Krums—comprise nearly all of Smeerensburg's populace and are perpetually conflicted, spending more time hating each other than writing letters.

While desperately searching for people to post letters, Jesper finds an isolated lumberman dwelling far outside the town. There, he discovers a reclusive woodsman named Klaus, who has a house filled with handmade toys. Terrified by Klaus' imposing appearance, Jesper flees and leaves behind a sad drawing he had found from one of Smeerensburg’s Krum children. Klaus forces Jesper to bring him to the house depicted in the drawing and then secretly deliver a toy to the boy inside.

Word of this event spreads to other children and they go to Jesper the next day, each believing they will receive a toy if they send Klaus a letter. Jesper capitalizes on the idea, and asks Klaus if he can donate his toys; Klaus agrees provided they operate at night and Jesper continues to deliver the toys in secret. The Krum boy's toy leads him to play with an Ellingboe girl, much to their clans’ outrage. Family elders Tammy Krum and Aksel Ellingboe each explain and show their clans' histories of hatred with each other, which have gone on for a long time, and find out it was Jesper and Klaus who delivered the Krum boy the toy. Soon, more children begin writing letters to Klaus. When Jesper tells them Klaus only gives toys to good children, and knows whenever any child misbehaves, the acts of kindness they perform gradually inspire the rest of the townsfolk to end their ancient dispute, and Alva to reopen her school to help the children learn to read and write so they can send letters.

Eventually, Jesper and Klaus begin running out of toys. With Jesper's deadline approaching, he tries persuading Klaus to make more toys in time for Christmas. Klaus initially refuses, but then works with Jesper to build a sled for a small girl named Márgu, who lives in an isolated settlement with her people. Klaus finally tells Jesper about his wife, Lydia, and explains he had made the toys to give to the future children the couple hoped to have, but they couldn't conceive and Lydia died from an illness. Klaus has slowly realized their work is spreading joy to the children and agrees to the Christmas plan, with Márgu and the rest of her people arriving to help. As the town and his relationship with Alva flourish, Jesper finds himself wanting to stay in Smeerensburg.

Meanwhile, Aksel Ellingboe and Tammy Krum form a temporary truce, wanting to stop Jesper and Klaus so that the families can resume their traditional feud. They themselves post enough letters to meet well over Jesper's target and let his father know he posted fourteen-thousand letters. Jesper’s father arrives on Christmas Eve to congratulate his son, inadvertently revealing to Jesper's friends the selfish motives behind his deeds. Just before they leave town, Jesper's father notices his son's remorse, and after a private talk, he allows Jesper to stay. Jesper then tries to stop the elders and their angry mob from destroying the Christmas toys but apparently fails. However, Alva had already been informed of the plot by the town's children, and so she and Klaus had replaced the toys with decoys. During the chase for the toys, Mr. Ellingboe's daughter and Mrs. Krum's son also fall in love.

Jesper is redeemed, and Smeerensburg becomes a happy town, with the family elders being forced to end the feud due to the marriage of their children. Jesper marries Alva and raises two children, and he and Klaus continue to deliver presents in Smeerensburg and beyond for eleven years. Then on the twelfth year, Klaus follows a wisp of wind up a sunny hill and disappears, saying he is joining his departed wife. But although he is gone, Klaus lives on in Christmas stories, and so every subsequent Christmas Eve, Jesper still waits for Klaus who returns every year to deliver toys across the world.

While stranded in the middle of the desert, Katrina's daughter, Clara, is bitten by a rattlesnake. With no cell service and time running out, Katrina meets a mysterious woman in a trailer who says she'll help. The bite appears to have vanished and when Katrina takes Clara to the hospital, it seems that everything is fine.

The doctor suggests it was just a hallucination. A mysterious man visits Katrina at the hospital to talk about her "payment" for Clara's recovery, declaring her soul was spared and must be repaid; the only conditions being that the soul Katrina takes must be human, and it must be paid on time. He gives her until sunset to repay the debt, otherwise Clara will die from the rattlesnake bite. Katrina doesn't initially believe it, but when she goes back to the desert road, the trailer has disappeared and she sees a trucker with a missing eye, warning that Clara is going to die.

Katrina discovers that the city of Tulia, Texas where she's ended up has been linked to a series of brutal murders and mysterious disappearances. Any time there's a photo or video of the crime scene, there's a mysterious shadowy figure in the background. The guy who visited her at the hospital is actually a lawyer who was fatally stabbed by a school teacher with the teacher saying "a soul for a soul" as he stabbed the lawyer, while a creepy kid who spooks Katrina actually went missing back in 2010. After an aborted attempt to kill a dying old man in the hospital, Katrina sets her sights on Billy, an abusive boyfriend she sees criticizing his girlfriend in a bar.

She breaks into their home and forces Billy to drive to a remote canyon in the desert. Before Katrina can kill him, though, he fights back and runs away. With time running out before sunset, Katrina prepares to kill herself, but as she films a goodbye message to Clara, Billy hits her with a rock and she blacks out. She wakes up just in time and when Billy is bitten by a rattlesnake, Katrina takes the opportunity to kill him to save her daughter. As she's watched over by mysterious figures on top of the canyon, Katrina leaves the canyon and on the way home, the doctor calls to say Clara is fine.

When Katrina reunites with her daughter, she sees that Clara has drawn a picture of the mysterious figure and the sun, seemingly aware of what her mother had to do. And when the pair get back on the road, Clara spots a hitchhiker by the road, who Katrina sees is actually Billy.

Joe Murata sits in a restaurant as the misdeeds of a serial killer are reported on television. Murata carries a yearbook from a girls' school, with numerous photos crossed out. He tells the waiter he's a screenwriter and asks if he knows what it's like to kill someone.

Two young men, Jay and Fukami, meet another young man, Shin, and take him to the vacant warehouse where they're living. Jay says he wants to make movies to explore all kinds of criminal behavior legally. When Shin reveals he's a virgin, Jay takes him to meet a promiscuous girl. The girl, Taeko, refuses Shin but introduces him to her high school classmate, Mitsuko, a shut-in with well-off but strict parents. Mitsuko says she is also a virgin but isn't interested in Shin. Taeko argues she should "make some scars and move on".

In flashback, Mitsuko and Taeko participate in a high school production of ''Romeo and Juliet'', with Mitsuko playing Juliet and Eiko playing Romeo. With little experience with boys at their all-girls school, they explore sexuality and romance among themselves. Eiko is killed in a car accident and the play is cancelled. Five of the girls decide to take sleep medication and stand on the edge of the school roof. Taeko vows to become a "slut" if she survives. All of the girls fall except Mitsuko, who sees a vision of Eiko and doesn't join them. Taeko lands on a parked car and is left with a limp and a scar. She gets "Romeo" tattooed on the scar.

In the present, Mitsuko receives a call from Murata, who claims she had lent him 50 yen several years previously. He claims he is now successful and wants to return the money. They meet at a park, where Murata arrives in a sports car and expresses attraction to her. Shin, Jay, and Fukami watch and record this. Mitsuko watches the video with Taeko and recognizes Murata as a con artist who had claimed to want to marry her sister. Taeko recalls sleeping with Murata and seeing him seduce her mother. The young men obtain a filming crew and begin making a movie about Murata's cons, with Shin as Murata.

Meanwhile, Murata seduces Mitsuko, her younger sister Ami, and Taeko, leaving Mitsuko self-harming herself with a yen. He stages a concert where many of his former victims show up to compete for his affections. The three filmmakers, Mitsuko, and Taeko meet up with him afterwards. Mitsuko reveals she is sleeping with Murata and shows them the burns and scars he left on her. Murata lifts Taeko's shirt to reveal more of the same. Murata says he can help with their movie, as he is wealthy. Fukami quits and leaves. The others accept.

It is revealed Murata has no money. The film crew quits, leaving Jay, Shin, Taeko, and Mitsuko on the project. Murata takes over the film and revels in cruelty to them. Mitsuko says she is pregnant with his child. Murata takes them to a country house and coaches Mitsuko in a scene where she strangles Jay. Jay dies. Murata convinces them to destroy and dump Jay's remains in the lake. Taeko jumps from the boat to escape but is killed by an unknown gunman.

They go to Mitsuko's home, where Murata uses Mitsuko's involvement in Jay's death to blackmail her parents, torturing them on camera. He tells them to get a relative to fund the film. Ami enjoys his torture of her parents and Mitsuko. Mitsuko attempts suicide after watching Ami have sex with Murata. Murata, Ami, and Shin decide "tomorrow will be Mitsuko's death scene". Mitsuko and Ami go dress shopping for the scene, and Ami thwarts her attempt to escape. Mitsuko has a miscarriage and is hospitalized.

The relative discovers the film company is a sham and arrives to demand his money back. Inside the house, he encounters Mitsuko's drunk, raving parents. Murata and Shin return to find Mitsuko's father has hung himself. Her mother and relative lie on the floor with a bloody knife nearby. Ami returns home to find Murata and Shin have dismembered the relative. She decapitates her father and discovers her mother is alive. At her mother's request, Ami kills her.

Murata, Shin, and Ami take Mitsuko to a forest, where she agrees to be killed. She explains she had not taken the sleep medication and had hoped Taeko would die, that she had sex with her friends' boyfriends as well as Ami's. She had known Murata was a con artist and Shin was a killer but hoped they would kill Ami, her parents, and Taeko.

Shin shoots Ami and Mitsuko, then gives the gun to Murata and orders him to kill Ami, who is begging Murata for her life. Shin berates Murata then kills Ami himself. He reveals himself to be the serial killer reported on the news. They fight, and Murata escapes and waves down a car driven by a woman who resembles Eiko. When asked where she is heading, she answers, "To hell." Shin takes the car they came in and gives a lift to a woman with car troubles. He sees Eiko by the side of the road, stops, and runs into the forest after her.

On-screen text states that those behind the murders that inspired the film were caught in 2002 and sentenced to life imprisonment.

In Norwich, England, on December 18, 1334, squire Cole Christopher Fredrick Lyons (Josh Whitehouse) and his brother Geoffrey (Harry Jarvis) participate in an annual Christmas hawking competition. Cole goes to the woods, while Geoffrey combs the castle for the hawk. Cole soon runs into an old crone named Kayela (Ella Kenion), whom he offers to escort to a shelter. She thanks him for his kindness, and tells him that she will magically send him to a faraway land on a quest to earn knighthood, where he will see things like "flying steel dragons and horses" (airplanes and cars) and "magic boxes that make merry" (televisions). After her explanation, she gives him a glowing blue medallion and tells him that if he doesn't fulfill his quest before midnight on Christmas Eve, he will remain trapped in the present forever – but does not explain the nature of the quest itself.

In the year 2019 on the same day in Bracebridge, a small city in Ohio, high school science teacher Brooke Winters (Vanessa Hudgens), who is disillusioned by love, agrees to take her niece Claire to the opening of the "Christmas Castle", which is the same place Cole arrives in. Cole, confused by the new and unfamiliar surroundings, gets hit by Brooke's car by accident, and is taken to the hospital, where Officer Stevens (Arnold Pinnock) checks his background and assumes that he must have amnesia, as he has no ID and claims to be a medieval knight. Brooke offers to let him stay at her guest home while he recovers. Cole gradually acclimates to his new environment, discovering modern-day innovations such as radios, diners, manners, and Alexa.

Despite his manner of speech and strange habits, Cole quickly endears himself to Brooke's friends and family. They find him strange, but humor him, as does Brooke herself, who even agrees that it's possible he is who he claims to be. She opens up to him about her late parents and an ex-boyfriend who had left her for someone else years ago, and he slowly shares his own past with her as they grow more familiar. In his search for the quest given to him by the Kayela, Cole ends up rescuing two children who fall in a frozen lake and catches an escaping pickpocket, but does not feel fulfilled. On December 24, Cole helps Brooke host a successful Christmas feast. Later, he asks her to clarify the mistletoe tradition, and they kiss, which causes Cole's medallion to light up, meaning he has finally fulfilled his quest. Brooke walks him back to the Christmas Castle, where he had originally arrived, and they bid each other a heavy farewell. She returns home, heartbroken, while Cole is sent back to the 14th century.

On return, Cole discovers that he has arrived just in time for his brother's knighting ceremony; Geoffrey welcomes him back warmly, but soon recognizes his brother's unhappiness and urges him to return to Brooke. He sets off back into the woods to look for the old crone, declaring that he has finished his quest. Kayela reappears, and uses her magic to transport him back to 2019. On Christmas Day, Brooke is comforted by her sister, niece, and brother-in-law. They invite her to join them at the Christmas Castle, where Cole soon meets them, riding atop his horse Sherwyn. He declares his love to Brooke and his willingness to stay, which she happily accepts. The two mount Sherwyn and ride around the castle, admired by onlookers.

In a post-credits scene, Geoffrey meets the old crone, who greets him and asks for assistance the same way she did with Cole. She carries another medallion which glows as the scene comes to an end – indicating that Geoffrey will go through the same quest as his brother.

When George sees Henry's unusual behaviour and his obsession with the ocean, he is sure the boy is also cursed.

In an attempt to ease his torment, the alien reveals itself to George as Bridget. But when George sees the woman from the wreck, he immediately attacks her, and the alien quickly morphs back into a cat and flees. A distressed George goes to the shore, takes off his clothes, and floats in the water. He wishes he were never rescued from the wreck. The alien returns to the ocean and gently touches George with its tentacles. It sends him images of Bridget wrapped around him on the wrecked ship, and explains who it is and where it came from. It shows George how its world was ruined by colonists, and how the survivors fled to another dimension and ended up in Earth's oceans. It tells him it is alone and cannot find any of the others. George tells her there used to be similar cephalopod-like creatures that attacked ships, but they disappeared long ago. The alien realises it arrived here "a million years too late".

George makes peace with the alien, and it attaches itself to his back. When George returns home, the alien becomes the cat again and enjoys the attention of Henry and his father.

''Echo In The Canyon'' celebrates the popular music that came out of L.A.’s Laurel Canyon neighborhood in the mid-60s as folk went electric and the Byrds, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and the Mamas and the Papas cemented the California Sound. It was a moment (1965 to 1967) when bands came to L.A. to emulate the Beatles and Laurel Canyon emerged as a hotbed of creativity and collaboration for a new generation of musicians who would soon put an indelible stamp on the history of American popular music.

As the taping is getting ready, the studio's new vice president of programming, Andy, informs show's producer Rebecca that he is cancelling the show after the recording as it does not go with his network's vision. The Banana Splits' new software updates malfunction after Drooper overhears this through a drunken Stevie, with Bingo and Snorky kidnapping Andy while Drooper kills Stevie by thrusting a prop lollipop down his throat. Outside, Beth learns that Mitch has been cheating on her with another woman. When she returns to the studio, Mitch finds Sal's decapitated corpse and is then chased and run over by Snorky.

Meanwhile, Poppy accepts Thadd's marriage proposal while live streaming the backstage before Fleegle arrives and murders Thadd by sawing him in half. Fleegle leaves Poppy after he hears Harley and Zoe looking for Snorky, taking them to the workshop. He traps them with Parker, who Bingo kidnapped while Drooper burned Jonathan's face as they were searching Andy for an audition. The remaining survivors learn about the Banana Splits' carnage after finding a seriously-injured Jonathan. Paige finds all phones disconnected and the confiscated cell phones destroyed while Beth manages to subdue Bingo before she and Austin find Poppy and convince her to join them.

At the same time, Rebecca and Jonathan are forced to participate in the show's obstacle course until Fleegle stabs Jonathan to death in the back with a key while Rebecca completes the course, only for Drooper to beat her to death with a hammer. Harley, Zoe, and Parker meet the Banana Splits' creator Karl, who considers his animatronics' actions justified by the show's cancellation and conflicts over freeing the kids. Drooper brings Bingo for repair, causing Karl to get distracted enough for the kids to escape and lock him in the cell. While looking for a way out, Harley, Zoe, and Parker come across Snorky and convince him to help them.

Beth, Austin, Paige, and Poppy arrive at the workshop to ask Karl how to stop the Banana Splits but he does not provide any information. The group hear music coming from a hatch in the floor and go down. However, Poppy notices the mask of an unused fifth animatronic named "Hooty". Losing her sanity, she puts on parts of the costume and kills Karl as revenge for Thadd's death. Finding the underground passage littered with the corpses of Doug, the studio's staff, and the adult audience members, the group find Fleegle and Drooper holding all children hostage while performing gruesome variants of their acts, like burning Stevie's corpse and brutally murdering Andy by ripping his limbs off.

Snorky arrives and chains Harley, Zoe, and Parker, but secretly gives Harley the keys to free them. While Beth and Austin manage to kill both Fleegle and Drooper, Parker guides all the kids to the exit. Beth, Austin, and Harley meet up with Paige and Zoe before being cornered by Bingo. Suddenly, Snorky appears and attacks Bingo, killing him before dying from critical damage sustained during the fight. As the police and paramedics arrive to attend survivors, Austin and Paige start a relationship while Beth punches a heavily-injured Mitch, demanding a divorce. Left behind on the parking lot, Mitch is run over again, this time being killed by a now-insane Poppy with the Banana Splits' remains in the back of the vehicle. While she drives and sings ''The'' ''Banana Splits'' theme song, Fleegle reactivates and laughs maniacally.

During a Fourth of July parade, off-duty Detective Marv Bozwick chases a thief down a sewer drain pipe. Attacked from behind by a figure wearing a pig mask, Bozwick awakens to find himself suspended by his tongue in an active subway tunnel and is given a choice via recorded message: tear out his tongue and live, or remain until the next train arrives, killing him. Unable to escape the trap in time, Bozwick is hit by the train and killed. The next day, police Captain Angie Garza assigns Detective Zeke Banks a new partner, idealistic rookie William Schenk. Banks and Schenk investigate Bozwick's death and Banks recognizes the elaborate trap as the modus operandi of the now deceased Jigsaw Killer.

Meanwhile, homicide detective Fitch – who several years prior had ignored a backup call from Banks, resulting in Banks nearly getting killed – is abducted and placed in a trap where he must allow a device to rip his fingers off to avoid electrocution in a filling water basin; he also fails to escape and dies. Some officers begin to suspect that Banks may be responsible, due to his history with Fitch. A box then arrives at the station, containing a pig puppet and a piece of Schenk's tattooed skin inside. A small vial inside the box directs the police to a butcher shop, which was previously a hobby shop that Banks and his father, retired chief Marcus Banks, used to visit. Upon arriving, the team discovers a tape recorder and a skinned corpse, identified as Schenk. Deciding to track down the killer himself, Marcus travels to a warehouse, where he is abducted. Shortly afterwards, Garza is kidnapped, and placed in a trap in the precinct's cold storage where she has to sever her spinal cord on a blade to stop boiling wax flowing from a pipe onto her face. She fails to do so and dies from her injuries. Moments later, Banks discovers her body.

While chasing a lead, Banks is captured and wakes up at the warehouse, handcuffed to a pipe with a hacksaw nearby. He considers sawing off his arm, but successfully escapes using a loose bobby pin. He then discovers his former partner Peter Dunleavy, who was imprisoned when Banks exposed a murder he committed, chained in place. In front of him is a large glass-crushing machine, which has been modified to hurl shrapnel at him. A tape recorder explains that Banks can choose to either free him or leave him to die. Although Banks attempts to save Dunleavy, he cannot get the key in time. Moving to another room, Banks then finds Schenk, who is revealed to have faked his own death by using the skinned corpse of the thief who lured Bozwick into the tunnels, and has been the copycat all along. He explains that his last name is actually Emmerson, the son of Charlie Emmerson, who was the man Dunleavy killed because he had agreed to testify against a dirty cop. He also reveals that Marcus, during his time as chief, deliberately protected corrupt officers to "clean" the streets of crime more efficiently under Article 8.

Believing that Banks can be an ally, Emmerson presents him with a final test, revealing Marcus suspended above the floor and slowly being drained of blood. Emmerson calls 9-1-1 and claims that he is a civilian being pursued by a shooter, resulting in the dispatch of a SWAT team. He hands Banks a revolver with one cartridge, and offers him the choice to either shoot a target that will save Marcus but allow Emmerson to escape, or to kill Emmerson and let Marcus bleed to death. Banks shoots the target to save his father, causing his restraints to loosen and lowering him to the ground, and then begins to fight Emmerson. The SWAT team arrives and inadvertently triggers a tripwire, causing Marcus' restraints to yank him upward again. The movement reveals a gun affixed to Marcus' arm, leading the SWAT team to mistake him for the shooter and kill him. Banks screams in despair as Emmerson escapes.

Prisoner Cain Burgess is being escorted by police to a hospital where he learns of his mother's death. After seeing her corpse, he fights off the cops and escapes their custody. He then visits a private bar, entering it after attacking the bouncers. While having his drink, he overhears one of the patrons named Tune describe how an unknown assailant killed a fellow gangster named Rook. Cain intervenes with his laughter, only to invite the wrath of Tune, his fellow patrons and Bez, the bartender. Claiming himself to be a friend of Lincoln, the owner of the bar, he tells everyone he'd walk away after finishing his drink, but gets into a brawl, acquires a double-barreled shotgun and holds everyone hostage. Soon, Lincoln's lieutenant Hyde arrives, recognizes Cain as Lincoln's brother and is also held hostage. One of the patrons trying to intervene is shot in the kneecap by Cain, who blames Hyde and Lincoln for his condition. Cain then starts narrating that he got sent to the notorious London prison HMP Belmarsh and had to fight for survival in prison due to a £20,000 price put on his head.

It is revealed that Cain used to be a skilled but quick-tempered martial artist who caused Lincoln, a loan shark, and several gangsters to lose substantial amounts of money every time he wins. Seeking to invest in a legitimate business, Cain comes to Lincoln for financial help, and is pulled into the world of crime when he is asked to rob a mark who has retrieved a package from one of Lincoln's gangsters, in exchange for money. Cain succeeds in stealing the package from a middle-aged woman who pursues him and gets killed in an accident during the chase. Cain is arrested and charged with manslaughter. Detective O'Hara explains that Lincoln's scam baits marks into acting as a bagman to forgive their debts. Lincoln arranges for someone to steal the bag, causing the mark to owe Lincoln even more money than before. When Cain refuses to cooperate with the police, a corrupt cop, Sgt. Evans, beats him up. Despite his clean record, Cain is sentenced to England's most violent prison where he gets into several fights and sustains severe injuries to his teeth and face. Despite fighting in self-defense, his sentence is repeatedly extended and this prompts him to become a cold-blooded killer in order to survive. After several years, one of his attackers reveals Lincoln has put a large bounty on his head. O'Hara, who has since learned about the bounty, once again asks Cain to give up his brother. Cain agrees on the condition that he be allowed to visit his dying mother at a hospital. They are too late, and Cain misses his chance but escapes custody after violently beating the police officers who delayed his visit.

By night, Lincoln arrives and is similarly threatened by Cain. Lincoln appeals to Cain's better nature, not realizing the changes he has been forced to undergo. Hyde mocks Cain and insults the people they conned. Enraged at his flippant attitude at destroying so many lives, including his own, Cain shoots and kills Hyde in front of the others. Realizing that Cain has changed, Lincoln drops his pretenses and admits to ordering a hit. Cain angrily says that he never spoke to the police and that Sgt. Evans admitted to spreading the false rumor before Cain killed him. Although surprised at the viciousness of Cain's vengeance, Lincoln says he never even cared whether it was true; the real reason he ordered the hit on Cain was because he lost respect either way from just the rumor, which Lincoln couldn't abide. After proving that he has emptied Lincoln's bank account, Cain announces that he will now kill Lincoln, and offers to let everyone else leave. Tune leaves, but returns with a submachine gun planning to ambush Cain before being quickly subdued by him. The rest are killed in the ensuing fight. Lincoln vows to recover, and, with all the guns emptied, attacks Cain with a knife. Cain eventually overpowers and stabs his brother, killing Lincoln. He then morbidly leaves Bez behind, and stumbles out of the bar before collapsing on a nearby bench. In his office, Detective O'Hara discovers that Lincoln's bank account has been divided amongst his victims by Cain.

On Christmas Eve, 1899, Imperial Saint Petersburg's frozen rivers and canals transform the capital city into a fairytale-like wonderland, with bustling festivities on the ice.

Pure-hearted 18-year-old Matvey Polyakov is an ice-skating courier of a local bakery, renowned for his speed. He is the fastest thanks to the special silver skates inherited from his father, a lamplighter.

The tsarist minister Nikolai Vyazemsky's daughter Alisa Vyazemskaya is interested in chemistry and the world of science, but is forced to hide her hobbies from her father, who, like many Russian aristocrats of that time, believes that a woman doesn’t need a higher education at all.

A few days before the dawn of the 20th century, Matvey loses his job as a deliveryman, because he could not deliver the order on time, as the street enroute was blocked for the Vyazemskys driving along it. At the same time, he discovers that his father has consumption. At the hospital the doctor tells Matvey that there is a chance of a costly cure for his father in Germany.

By chance, Matvey meets a group of pickpockets led by "Alex" named the Ice Gang, all of whom are fascinated by Marx's ideas about expropriation. Although struggling financially and unable to afford his father's treatment, Matvey trains with the Ice Gang to learn how to pickpocket in order to pay for his father's treatment. The gang challenges Matvey to steal into the Vyazemsky mansion. Matvey climbs onto Alisa's balcony where they accidentally stumble upon each other.

After some time, Matvey steals two invitations to a ball on ice in the courtyard of the Saint Michael's Castle, where he goes with Alex, posing as aristocrats. Alisa, as an aristocrat, is also there; she is introduced at the ball to the captain of the guard, Count Arkady Trubetskoy, her betrothed. Alisa and Matvey meet again and make a deal: Alisa won't reveal Matvey's disguise, but he must give permission for Alisa to enter the Bestuzhev Courses as a student: according to the law of the time, this requires the consent of a male companion or her father. Although Dmitri Mendeleev himself endorses Alisa's candidacy at the entrance exam, the idea fails, because the consent must be submitted in writing, and Matvey cannot write.

Matvey's father rejects the money because of the dishonest way his son got it. Matvey quarrels with him and goes to live with Alex, who, together with his gang for the winter, huddles in the wreck of an old ship frozen into the ice on the coast of the Gulf of Finland.

On Christmas, Matvey, using the fact that Alisa's parents are at the ball, persuades her to go on a date with him. The two of them skate along the canals and finally realize that they are in love with each other. The next day, Alex's gang at the fair is attacked by a specially trained squad of guards led by the Count, as the Ice Gang's actions have long attracted the attention of the city authorities. One guard manages to grab one of its members, while Matvey begins to pursue the Count, but Alex comes to his aid, who shoots the Count's leg with a pistol. Matvey decides to return home, where he finds his father has died.

On the same evening, Alisa appears at the performance of the French magician Fourier, who performs a trick with flames and tells the audience that the flames come from the "energy between Arkady and Alisa". Alisa considers this a stupid farce and explains Fourier's trick to the public. Her enraged father searches her room, and finds her scientific books. They are burned, and Alisa's governess, the prim Englishwoman Miss Jackson, is fired. Miss Jackson decides that Alisa has inspired her to choose what she truly wants in life and not what other wants, and encourages Alisa to make those decisions as well even if they are difficult.

Alisa runs away from home to try to escape to Paris, where she can study chemistry freely. She finds Matvey on the ship and asks him to come with her. But then, the ship is surrounded by the Prince and his soldiers, and a confrontation between them the Ice Gang, whose members have been captured by the Prince, begins. Alex sacrifices his life to save Matvey, who nearly dies of hypothermia before being taken to a hospital.

New Year is coming. Alisa, who was returned home, is mentally broken. She learns that her father gave full consent to her marriage with Prince Arkady Trubetskoy. On the occasion of the New Year, Nikolai brings her to a masquerade ball at the Great Gatchina Palace. Unexpectedly, she meets Matvey in disguise, and they decide to finally escape to Paris together, using the two tickets Matvey acquired. But Matvey dropped one of the tickets, and the Prince, finding the ticket, realizes their plan and chases after them. At the Vitebsky railway station, discovering the missing ticket, Matvey persuades Alisa to get on the train, and he himself runs to the ticket offices to buy a new one, but then the Prince appears on the platform with the missing ticket. In the ensuing fight, Matvey manages to take away the ticket and he manages to jump onto the train, but Arkady manages to finally shoot him. The bullet hits the silver skates instead, and Matvey and Alisa make it to Paris.

Four years later, Nikolai Vyazemsky comes to Dmitri Mendeleev and tells him he knows that he is in secret correspondence with his daughter. The proud Mendeleev tells him that Alisa has made great strides in the study of chemistry and in a year will receive an academic degree, which will allow her to work in all prestigious universities in the West. Realizing that this is the only way to return his daughter to her homeland, Vyazemsky asks the directorate of the university, where the Bestuzhev Courses are held, to amend the charter, thanks to which from now on women will be able to head the department. A year later, he watches Alisa teach a chemistry lesson in a class. The film ends with a scene in which Alisa, Matvey and their little son Petya, named after his late paternal grandfather, are ice skating together.

In the recount, he's accompanying his much younger wife Sue to a film festival in San Sebastián. She works as a press agent for Philippe, a French director whose banal and derivative anti-war film is being universally celebrated as a masterpiece, to Mort's chagrin.

The ''Teen Titans Go!'' team are battling the Gentleman Ghost as he attempts to rob a bank. He manages to possess Robin and then Starfire, but when attempting the same trick on Raven, he unintentionally cracks her red Ajna chakra gemstone, which awakens her inner demon's dark power and results in his defeat. Trigon reveals that Raven's demonic-half is slowly taking over her and offers to take it away, but she refuses to give it to him.

Suddenly, the Titans are abducted by the Master of Games, a being who explores the multiverse with his Worlogog to find the best versions of particular heroes. He pits the 2013 Titans against the original 2003 animated Titans, who agree to fight after the Master of Games threatens to destroy their Earths. 2003 Robin and Cyborg manage to take out all of the 2013 Titans with the exception of Raven. She is coerced into unleashing her demonic power against the 2003 Raven, who snaps her out of it when she realizes the Master of Games is siphoning her demonic energy. The Master of Games then reveals himself to be 2013 Trigon, who uses Raven's energy to partially resurrect 2003 Trigon. The two Trigons kidnap the Ravens and escape to the 2003 Earth to finish absorbing 2013 Raven's dark demonic powers so they can conquer the multiverse.

The two Titans teams agree to work together to stop the Trigons and rescue their Ravens. 2003 Robin deduces that the Trigons are using a Worlogog from their Earth to travel between dimensions, so they need a Worlogog from the 2013 dimension, which the 2013 Titans realize belongs to Santa Claus. The two teams battle Santa and Mrs. Claus and escape by using the device to travel between dimensions and eventually make it to the 2003 Earth just after 2003 Trigon completely absorbs 2013 Raven's demonic powers. Fed up with his counterpart's insults, 2013 Trigon consumes 2003 Trigon and transforms into a new and very powerful being named Hexagon.

To combat this new threat, 2003 Robin uses their Worlogog to summon Titans teams throughout the multiverse to form the "Titans of Infinite Earths", but to no avail. 2013 Raven evens the odds by eating all of her counterparts and transforms into a black dragon known as "the Unkindness". The Titans destroy Trigon's Worlogog and assist Raven in getting all of her powers back, which sends 2003 Trigon into limbo while 2013 Robin uses their Worlogog to send 2013 Trigon to a zombie dimension.

After 2013 Raven accepts her innermost demon self, all of the Teen Titans are sent home to their respective dimensions. Upon returning to their Earth, the 2013 Titans express relief that they do not have to endure another multiverse-threatening crossover for at least another year. Just then, they are attacked by Darkseid, but refuse to battle him out of exhaustion.

In a post-credit scene, the 2013 Titans relax at their headquarters, ignoring Darkseid's attack upon Jump City.

In Fujisawa, Sakuta Azusagawa is in his second year of high school. He greatly enjoys his days with Mai Sakurajima, who for the past 6 months has been both his girlfriend and senior. However, their peaceful lives are interrupted by the appearance of Sakuta's first love, Shoko Makinohara. While taking his younger sister to the hospital, Sakuta discovers that there are two Shokos — the one in middle school and the older one who helped him in the past. Sakuta discovers that the middle school Shoko is suffering from a heart disease that urgently requires heart transplantation to save her life. When both Sakuta and Mai become concerned about the middle school Shoko's situation and think of ways to help her, Sakuta eventually figures out the link between his wounds and adult Shoko. Adult Shoko comes from the future after a successful heart transplant, and her heart donor was Sakuta himself — who Shoko reveals was declared brain dead after a fatal traffic accident on Christmas Eve. However, Shoko developed feelings for Sakuta through their interactions in her youth, so she decided to come back to the past and save his life. Against Mai’s wishes, Sakuta decides to sacrifice himself so that Shoko can live. Sakuta nearly gets run over, but Mai pushes him aside at the last moment and gets hit by the car instead. As a result, the entire chain of causality changes — Sakuta lives, but Mai is killed and becomes Shoko's heart donor instead.

Sakuta is in shock and devastated after Mai's death. Unable to bear seeing him like this, adult Shoko helps him one last time by telling him a secret: with her help, he can also return to the past to rewrite history; the ultimate implication being that the adult Shoko disappears forever. Sakuta makes a firm decision and returns to the past to save his love. Sakuta stops Mai from sacrificing herself and prevents himself from being run over, but now Shoko doesn’t have a heart transplant from anyone and her illness remains uncured. However, Sakuta refuses to accept such an outcome and together with Mai, they agree to find a way to help the dying young Shoko, knowing that saving her means risking the loss of everything that has happened up to then. Nevertheless, the couple vow to find each other and fall in love all over again. Sakuta visits young Shoko one last time, where she reveals that she now knows everything that has happened. She decides to create a future in which she never meets Sakuta or Mai, thus saving them from the sadness of the situation. Time winds back to when Shoko was in fourth grade. She bravely writes down her future hopes, giving up the memory of meeting Sakuta and Mai and the likelihood of meeting them at all. In the end, time returns to New Year's in the present day. Sakuta and Mai visit a shrine and pass by a beach, where for the first time they encounter Shoko, now a healthy young girl. Thanks to memory pieces crossing different timelines, Sakuta and Shoko eventually recognize each other.

All of the interviewees have worked on Netflix licensed series, but no anime that is not licensed by Netflix is mentioned. An early article by Geek.com stated that the documentary would help people who are new to anime learn about it, although reviews published after the film's release disagreed with this assessment.

Hubie Dubois is a dimwitted delicatessen employee in Salem, Massachusetts who is ridiculed by almost the entire city, and is the butt of many practical jokes while his antics have annoyed police sergeant Steve Downey, police sergeant Blake, and Father Dave. Hubie spends his time during Halloween monitoring the city as the official Halloween Helper.

The day before Halloween, Hubie meets his strange new neighbor Walter Lambert, and news spreads around town about Richie Hartman, a convict and childhood friend of Hubie who has absconded from a local mental institution.

The next day is Halloween; Hubie is working as Halloween Monitor and investigates Walter's home after reports of strange noises. Having reported this to the police, he is "recruited" by Downey as an "AUU" (auxiliary undercover unit). Hubie believes this assignment is genuine, although Steve hopes it will deter Hubie from bothering him.

Hubie goes to a local Halloween party to monitor the activities. However, it soon turns sour. Hubie is tricked into going into a corn maze following reports about a lost child. Hubie's young co-worker Mike follows hoping to scare Hubie. Hubie finds Mike and sees him getting pulled into the maze and then disappearing.

Hubie moves his attention to monitoring a drive-in cinema. Hubie's old classmates Lester and Mary Hennessey scare Hubie after false reports of suspicious activity in one of the cars at the drive-in (who turn out to be trick-or-treaters driven by Mr. Hennessey to throw eggs at Hubie). He flees into the woods and finds Walter. Walter thinks he is turning into a werewolf and chases Hubie to a haunted house in a fun fair that is overseen by Chantal Taylor.

Mr. and Mrs. Hennessey are kidnapped and Sgt. Downey is alerted. At the haunted house, Hubie sees a Siberian Husky, thinking it is Walter in his final form. The Husky then runs into the haunted house and Hubie chases it inside. It is eventually shown that the Husky is Miss Taylor's pet dog Buster. Pete Landolfa goes in to scare Hubie, but is kidnapped in front of him. Sgt. Downey arrives and suggests to Mayor Benson that they cancel Halloween. Hubie thinks it is Walter, but then Blake calls Downey stating that Walter is at the police station with Richie who had turned themselves in, who also reveals that Walter's real name is Nick Hudson. Richie had escaped, bringing Walter back to the mental institution which they refer to as the werewolf treatment center. Downey, Benson, and Dave agree that Hubie is the kidnapper, thinking he is getting revenge on his bullies. He runs away and goes to a radio station.

DJ Aurora tells Hubie that someone calls a lot more than him always requesting a song for Hubie. They all think Sgt. Downey's ex-wife Violet Valentine is the caller. The burner phone that was planted when called is revealed to be in Hubie's house and he races there, hoping his mother is okay. It is revealed that Hubie's mother kidnapped Pete, Mike, and the Hennesseys as revenge for tormenting Hubie and plans to burn them alive. He rescues them just as the police, the news media, Nick, and Richie arrive. His mother then scolds Pete, Mike, and the Hennesseys for all the things they did to Hubie and they also admitted that they were jealous of him for various reasons. Hubie's mother suddenly disappears upon using the Frankenstein trick.

One year later, Hubie is married to Violet, is the new Mayor of Salem, and his new foster kids are going trick or treating dressed like people he knows. Having earned respect from the locals, Hubie goes into town on his bicycle with Downey escorting him and prepares for the Halloween festivities.

In Portland, Tim has a blind date with Melissa (aka "Missy"), who turns out to be extremely strange, and her oddball behavior turns out to be both dangerous and disastrous. Her wild antics force Tim to sneak out of the restaurant through a bathroom window, thereby dislocating his ankle.

Three months later, Tim bumps into a beautiful and successful woman (also named Melissa) at the airport. They connect over drinks, finding out they have nearly everything in common and seem to be perfect for each other. She text him her number. After a series of intimate texts, he eventually invites Melissa to his work retreat in Hawaii. However, Missy shows up on the plane, and Tim realizes he had been texting the wrong Melissa the whole time. The antics start again as Missy forcibly gives him a tranquilizer and, when he awakens, she is giving him a handjob.

On the corporate retreat in Hawaii, the new CEO, Jack Winstone, greets everyone at the welcome party. As usual, when Missy makes an appearance, she is awkward and wild, and seems to always leave Tim in embarrassing situations in front of his boss and colleagues. Back at their room, he awakens from another tranquilized state to her on top of him, riding him cowgirl style. She often becomes reckless and intoxicated and her behavior results in humiliation for Tim.

However, before too long, Missy starts to help Tim succeed at his work retreat, and even hypnotizes his boss to win his favor. As they spend more time together, Tim eventually begins to fall for her. His workplace competitor, Jess "the Barracuda", is not pleased when Winstone gives a job to Tim instead of her, so she reveals to Missy that her invitation was a mistake, and Tim had wanted to bring someone else. When Missy checks Tim's phone, she finds out the truth. Saddened and devastated, she leaves Hawaii.

However, at the moment Missy leaves in a cab, the actual Melissa arrives in Hawaii (having been invited by Jess). At lunch, Tim begins acting outlandishly, much like Missy did on their first date, imbibing a bevy of alcoholic shots and then performing a walking handstand in the dining room. After falling from the balcony and crippling himself, Tim lets the new Melissa know that he has developed feelings for Missy, and then departs Hawaii.

Back in the office, Tim decides to remove the hypnotic spell Missy put on his boss by uttering the obscene and obscure magic words. His honesty results in him losing his job.

Tim tricks Missy into a date, where he plays the same trick that she had used on him. Except she meets Vanilla Ice at the bar. Tim comes up and apologizes to her and tells her all the things that he likes about her, and says that he wants to be more like her. She forgives him, and they kiss.

Joseph's life breaks down when his young son and ex-wife move to Australia. He travels to Ireland, seeking out his estranged sister Anna, who he has not seen in over thirty years. In doing so, he unearths a horrific incident from his past, the memory of which he has long-since suppressed.

In college, Jane helped a friend disappear to avoid arrest for draft evasion, and discovered she had a talent for it. She calls herself a "guide". Jane relies on both modern skills and her Native American heritage to guide her clients from their old lives into new, presumably safer, lives. Jane's clients are generally in danger, whether from abusive partners, criminals, or the law. Her services include both the practical documents, transportation, money, and protection and the philosophical how to adjust to a new and strange life and how to become a new person. She teaches her clients to think "like a rabbit, not a dog". As she explains to a client, "This is like dogs chasing a rabbit. When the rabbit wins, he doesn't get to kill the dogs and eat them. He just gets to keep being a rabbit."

After successful missions, she thanks the Jo-ga-oh with gifts of tobacco and nail clippings.

The film is centered on three women who grew up watching ''Ojamajo Doremi'' in their childhood: Sora Nagase, a 22-year-old college student whose parents are pressuring her to become a teacher; Mire Yoshizuki, a 27-year-old career-oriented office worker returning from overseas; and Reika Kawatani, a 20-year-old freeter. Sora is concerned about Yūji Makita, a student at the school she interns at; despite having her dream job, Mire frequently gets into conflicts with her manager, Miyao; and Reika's boyfriend, Seiya Kubo, keeps stealing her savings for college. One day, Sora becomes curious when she hears rumors about a Western-style building located in Kamakura that served as the basis for the MAHODO, a magic shop featured in ''Ojamajo Doremi''. When she visits, she meets Mire and Reika, who explore the building with her. That evening, the women bond over having watched ''Ojamajo Doremi'' when they were younger and the magic bead toys from the show. The women return home, but keep in contact.

As their daily lives become stressful, Sora invites Mire and Reika to visit Aichi Prefecture for Golden Week. There, the women go sightseeing in Hida-Takayama, the location where the film ''Ojamajo Doremi: The Secret of the Frog Stone'' takes place. At night, while discussing concerns from their daily lives, Reika confides in them that her father left after her parents divorced when she was in high school, with her mother dying two years later. On the third day of their trip, Mire suggests Reika make a wish on her magic bead to reunite with her father. The three are led to a hospital trying to retrieve her bead after she drops it, and there, Reika sees her father with a new family of his own while he pretends he does not know her. Mire chides Reika for not being assertive, but this causes Reika to become angry and return to Onomichi alone. That night, Mire stays at Sora's house and reflects on her actions after watching episode 19 of ''Ojamajo Doremi Sharp'', where Doremi and Hazuki get into a fight. She then personally goes to Onomichi to apologize and manages to find Reika's apartment through the shop that she works at. Upon finding Reika, Mire saves her from Seiya when he extorts her for money, with Reika finally breaking up with him. The two restore their friendship as Reika reveals that her magic bead was given to her by her father. Mire invites her to move in to help her pursue her studies.

Tired of being treated poorly at her job, Mire decides to quit and later learns that her co-worker, Hayato Yabe, has feelings for her. Meanwhile, Yūji is enrolled into a special education school, and Sora helps him successfully, gaining motivation to study for her teaching exams. By summer, the three women go on a trip to Nara and Kyoto, where two episodes of ''Ojamajo Doremi Dokkān!'' takes place. While on the train, the women befriend Ryuichi Omiya, a college student, and after noticing he has a keyholder of Onpu, they discover he is also a fan of ''Ojamajo Doremi'' and he comes along their trip as their guide. Sora falls in love with Omiya and confesses to him during their final day in Kyoto, but he rejects her. Despite this, at night, the three women realize the importance of moving forward, which they have understood since reconnecting with ''Ojamajo Doremi''. Together, the three make a wish upon their magic beads, inadvertently casting Magical Stage, and come to the conclusion that they have magic in themselves.

Three months after their trip, Sora, Mire, and Reika rent the building in Kamakura to open it under the name Café MAHODO as the culmination of all their dreams combined. They see a silhouette running in the halls in the process, and after giving chase, they find Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko, Onpu, Momoko, and Pop.

The gang lure a werewolf in a trap and catch the culprit: Young Man Withers. Soon after cleaning the Mystery Machine, the gang capture more monsters, including the Snow Ghost, the Creeper, and the Spooky Space Kook, who are the entire Withers family. But, as the gang congratulate themselves, the Mystery Machine goes backwards, prompting Fred to give chase before discovering that it was just a dream. As it turns out, Fred sold the Mystery Machine, and they are retired from mystery solving, thanks to the Sheriff from the 13th Ghost incident. Fred decides to come out of retirement after seeing a news report, though Shaggy and Scooby refuse, saying that they've been taken for granted in all their mysteries. The pair make Fred, Daphne, and Velma promise never to solve another mystery. The gang decide to have a vacation and soon see a TV program featuring Elvira, who announces that Shaggy Rogers is the winner of a tropical vacation, much to the gang's confusion and Shaggy and Scooby's delight.

On the way to the island via ferry, Fred, Daphne, and Velma try to keep their promise as Shaggy and Scooby relax. After arriving, two greeters frightfully tell the gang to "Get Out" but get humorously ignored by the gang as they go in a van to the resort, with the two greeters saying "Tourists…" in a annoyed tone. On the way, a clawed figure slashes a palm tree causing it to block the road. forcing the gang to go to the resort by foot while the van driver stays to repair his van. Arriving at Moonstar Island Resort, they are reminded of Moonscar Island, where they solved a mystery involving the zombies and Cat Creatures. Inside the resort, they meet the Hotel Manager, Alan, and the hotel staff, composed of Mona, Linda, Jack, and Bugbite Stubbs, who resemble the people the gang previously encountered on Moonscar. While enjoying the accommodations, a few zombies surprise Scooby and Shaggy, who make a run for it and hide in a cabinet, which ultimately leads to a cavern, complete with cat statues and monuments.

Soon, Shaggy and Scooby return to the hotel and barricade the door, as a group of zombies approach the hotel. Shaggy and Scooby give their OK to the others to solve mysteries again and the gang set a trap for the zombies. But, the black Were-Cat knocks over a candelabra, setting fire to a curtain, which then causes the sprinkler system to douse the fire and melt the zombies' faces to reveal that they were the hotel staff in disguise. The gang discover that they actually are on Moonscar Island, which is doubling as a filming location. Alan confesses to the gang that he's a film director known as Alan Smithee, who wanted to make a scary movie after looking into Velma's unsolved mysteries blog. He also revealed that he sponsored the vacation for Shaggy to win, but states that he had no knowledge of the black werecat. Despite everything that happened, the gang offer to help Alan finish the movie. As filming continues, the gang meet Seaver, a stunt double for Fred, who has a monster truck version of the Mystery Machine. As the sun goes down, Velma heads into the forest wearing night-vision goggles but runs away when she sees a cluster of cats' eyes.

After Velma tells the others to make a run for their lives, they see a harmless-looking beige kitten coming out of the bushes, startling Scooby. Just as Shaggy assures Scooby that there's nothing to worry about, the kitten (fully grown in an instant) turns feral and roars like a tiger, scaring Shaggy as more cats attack. After the movie crew (except Alan and Seaver) hide, three were-cats appear. As the gang and Seaver run for the ferry, Alan crazily burns it. Fred, acting on impulse, rescues the Mystery Machine from being burned with the Ferry. Fred tells the others to get in, but one of the cat creatures tries to grab Smithee's medallion, which is Simone's pendant. The gang save Alan and the pendant and the cats and cat creatures pursue them back to the resort. After a wild chase, the gang hide in the cabinet Shaggy and Scooby hid in, leading them to the cavern where the were-cats tried to drain the gang's life force. They notice that there are a lot of holes in the cave, which gives Velma an idea. The three cat creatures enter the cavern, find the medallion, and place it on the pedestal in the light of the harvest moon. The light is reflected to specific spot on the ground where the cat creatures dig until they find a chest that appears to be filled with gold coins, though its contents turn out to be Scooby snacks covered in gold foil. The cats are attacked by the gang, disguised to resemble zombies, causing them to become scared and hide in one of the cave's holes. The gang unmask the creatures, revealing them to be the greeters and the ferry captain. The trio intended to find Moonscar's treasure, using cat whistles to control the island cats to deter anyone who were getting too close. The fourth werecat (the one who attacked the van and tried to set fire in the mansion) remains at large. After the police take the culprits away, Alan despairs that his movie doesn't have a finale.

Soon, the cats, now docile, enter the cave and dig a spot in the ground with Scooby's help, revealing another treasure chest. Alan opens it and sees real gold inside, and declares that he's done with movie business and is retiring with all the gold. The gang declare that they'll continue solving mysteries. Though the sheriff arrives and berates the gang for solving mysteries again, he relents, allowing Mystery Inc. to return. Shaggy and Scooby, along with the six cats who dug up Moonscar's treasure, eat the gold foiled Scooby snacks.

Elvira tells the viewers about the movie, ''Zombie Teenagers and the Island of Doom'', including a trailer and outtakes.

While being transported via train to a carnival, a large king cobra escapes from its cage and kills two railroad workers. The snake flees into the night, eventually reaching toward a small Alabama town. One night, the town's Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. Tom Farrow (Weaver) is enjoying dinner and a fire. However, the fire goes out and Rev. Farrow feels the arrival of an uneasy presence. Later in the night, Farrow attends a party and is met by the town's librarian and seer, Evelyn Downs (Douglas), who reveals she foresaw Farrow will face an ancient enemy who has come to claim his soul. While Downs drives home, Farrow contemplates what she said, unaware he is being watched by the Cobra.

The next day, two tree loggers are chopping branches when they are confronted and attacked by a rattlesnake while being watched by the Cobra. While a reporter questions the town's sheriff, in the hospital, Dr. Maggie Sheridan pays a visit to the morgue where the coroner Owens shows the body of the logger and what killed him: two puncture wounds to his face. Realizing there could be a dangerous snake out in the woods, Maggie calls in an expert: herpetologist Dr. Paul Hendricks (Korkes).

When Hendricks arrives, he asks about the snake bite. Maggie takes him to the morgue, only to find the body is gone, as Dr. Owens (Mark Daly Richards) released the body to a funeral home. At his home, Farrow gets a call from Downs, who warns him that the enemy has arrived into town. She says she will come to him and explain more. While Dr. Hendricks is about to leave, Maggie catches up to his cab and shows him the next victim, Evelyn Downs. Hendricks decides to stay and find out what species of snake is causing these attacks.

Back in town, the Sheriff is called to a market store and finds a snake in there. Later at night, Dr. Hendricks drops Maggie off at her home. While freshening up, another rattlesnake enters her home and the Cobra watches from outside. Maggie later finds the rattlesnake on her bed. Petrified, she calls Paul and he races to help her. When he arrives, he kills the rattlesnake and the Cobra leaves. Paul comforts a scared Maggie and stays the night.

The next morning, Father Farrow hears Evelyn Downs died and arrives at Maggie's house to find out what happened. Revealing she was coming to see him, Maggie and Paul tell Farrow that she was killed by a snake. Believing what she said, Father Farrow takes his leave to see his uncle, the Monsignore, telling him that he believes Satan himself (taking the form of a snake, as a snake was the first form Satan took) has come with ill intentions. Meanwhile, Maggie visits the Mayor to try to convince him that he must postpone the upcoming annual dog race. Ignoring her warnings, Maggie leaves furious.

The Monsignore reveals Farrow's father didn't die in the war but committed suicide as a result of something unspeakable coming after him and driving him insane. The Monsignore also reveals other incidences in Farrow's bloodline: violent deaths and strange disappearances every third generation of Farrow's family. The Monsignore says that after St. Patrick was cursed by druids for burning down their shrines, the druid high priest cursed him and his descendants, all the way down to Farrow and his father. The Monsignore warns Farrow that if Satan has come, signs of unnatural occurrences would come to be that would indicate his arrival. Unsure of what to do about it, the Monsignore reminds Farrow that his faith in God will be his strongest weapon.

In a cottage in a nearby field, two teenagers making out are attacked by another snake and taken to the hospital. When the sheriff asks his deputy Jack to go out to the woods to look for the snake, Jack is attacked by the Cobra. The Sheriff finds him dead. After Evelyn's funeral, the Monsignore comes to Farrow with a book speaking of someone in Farrow's family who faced the Serpent before and was able to defeat it. However, the meeting is interrupted by the Cobra itself. The Cobra chases Farrow and causes him to fall into an empty grave. However, Farrow manages to drive the Cobra off with a cross. While Farrow survives, the Monsignore dies.

At a town meeting, Farrow arrives with Paul and Maggie to explain the situation to the townsfolk. As they both try to explain the snake attacks, the Mayor arrives to calm the people down, even dismissing the attacks. Farrow, Paul, and Maggie follow the Mayor to the back room, where he tells them that while there will be a curfew, the group will have limited time to find the snake and that the dog track will open regardless of the circumstances. They are also threatened with arrest if they do not keep things quiet.

While the snakes are being searched for, and they manage to find several, Maggie is confronted by a mugger. However, before he can do anything, they are both attacked by the Cobra. They both manage to escape. Paul finds shed King Cobra skin in a cave, where the Cobra is revealed to be living. Paul draws a picture of what Maggie saw and Farrow reveals that before she died, Evelyn Downs warned him that Satan himself had come in the form of a King Cobra.

The next day, Matt Perry's daughter is attacked by another rattlesnake. Paul goes back to the cave and finds a pit of snakes as well as the Cobra itself, but tumbles down a steep embankment and is knocked out. With the Perry's daughter in the hospital, the Mayor decides to cancel the dog track opening. After calling Father Farrow, Maggie goes to the same cave, where she finds Paul, but is captured and put before the Cobra. Farrow blesses himself and goes to confront the Cobra.

Arriving at the caves, Farrow calls out to the Cobra by shouting its name. Using prayer, Father Farrow confronts the Cobra and offers himself in Maggie's place. Praying to God, Farrow's golden cross glows. He shines it on the Cobra's body and the Cobra itself is engulfed in flames and killed. Having survived, Farrow, Paul, and Maggie leave the cave.

The musical takes place in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1990s, in Coastal North Carolina.

In 1940, Orson Welles is given complete creative freedom for his next project by RKO. For the screenplay, Welles recruits Herman J. Mankiewicz, who is in Victorville, California, recovering from a broken leg he sustained in a car crash. Herman dictates the script to his secretary, Rita Alexander, who notices similarities between the main character (Charles Foster Kane) and William Randolph Hearst. Producer John Houseman is concerned about Herman's dense, nonlinear screenplay, while Herman's brother Joseph worries that it may anger the powerful Hearst.

In 1930, Herman visits an MGM location where he and the female lead, Marion Davies, recognize each other. She introduces him to Hearst, her benefactor and lover, who takes a liking to Herman. In 1933, Herman and his wife Sara attend Louis B. Mayer's birthday party at Hearst Castle with many Hollywood bigwigs. They discuss the rise of Nazi Germany and the upcoming gubernatorial election, in particular candidate Upton Sinclair. Herman and Marion go for a stroll, where they bond over discussions on politics and the film industry.

In 1940, Houseman grows impatient over Herman's lack of progress. Rita is also concerned with the timing of the writing and Herman's alcoholism. He does finish the screenplay in time. Houseman is impressed but reminds Herman that he will receive no credit for his work.

In 1934, Herman and Joseph begin working at MGM under Mayer. Studio executives, including Irving Thalberg, actively work against Sinclair's gubernatorial campaign. The studio produces propaganda films for a smear campaign, funded by Hearst, against Sinclair. Herman approaches Marion to pull the films but is unsuccessful as she has already left the studio for Warner Bros. Herman and Sara later attend an election night watch party at the Trocadero Nightclub, where Mayer announces the winner, Frank Merriam. Herman's colleague, director Shelly Metcalf, shoots and kills himself after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and guilt-ridden over his role in the smear campaign, despite personally supporting Sinclair.

In 1940, Charles Lederer picks up the screenplay from Herman to deliver to the studio. Joseph visits Herman after reading it, warning him of Hearst's reaction and how it might affect Marion. He does, however, believe that it's the finest thing Herman has ever written. Marion also visits and does her best to persuade Herman to change the screenplay but to no avail. She tells Herman she will try to stop the picture from getting made.

In 1937, Herman crashes a party at Hearst Castle, where he drunkenly pitches the idea for the film he will later write, offending everyone present, including Hearst, Mayer, and Marion. An enraged Mayer reveals that Herman is on Hearst's payroll and calls him a court jester. Hearst tells him an allegory about a monkey and an organ grinder and sees him out.

In 1940, despite pressure from Hearst, Welles is determined to make the film and intends to do a re-write without Herman. He visits Herman and offers him a buyout from the studio. However, reneging on the terms of his contract, Herman requests credit for the script, declaring it his greatest work. An upset Welles tells Herman that he has gone to bat for him before leaving angrily. Herman ultimately receives joint credit with Welles, and they win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film (''Citizen Kane'') two years later.

A young Japanese office lady is killed in a vehicular accident. After losing consciousness, she awakens in another world in the body of Iris, the antagonist of an otome game she had been playing before her demise. To her shock, she discovers that she has reincarnated at the exact moment where Iris' former fiancé, Prince Edward, confronts her in front of the entire school over her bullying of Yuri, the illegitimate daughter of a baron and the game's heroine. Thinking fast, Iris manages to leave the school with her dignity intact and upon returning home, is also able to avoid being sent to a nunnery, the fate of the original Iris. Impressed by her rational thinking, Iris's father Duke Louis de Armelia leaves her in control of the Armelia fief in place of her brother Bern, who is one of Edward's supporters and is also in love with Yuri.

As the series progresses, Iris uses her previous life's knowledge to bring about major, positive changes to her fief and the kingdom, such as the concept of banking and schooling for commoners who would otherwise not receive education. She also introduces commercial products that had not previously existed or were only available in a crude form, such as chocolate and cosmetics, going so far as to start her own successful corporation. This brings both positive and negative attention to Iris, her family, and the fief, especially as it angers Prince Edward, who wanted her to be severely punished. It's also shown that Iris was not responsible for all of the bullying claimed by Yuri, as she had only spread rumors and made negative comments, and that Iris was a far kinder person than the one portrayed in the game's storyline. Furthermore, Yuri's personality is shown to possibly be a facade. It is also hinted that she is a foreign spy sent to disrupt the kingdom and that she is purposefully draining the kingdom's finances via Edward under the guise of charity in order to weaken it against an impending invasion.

Iris finds herself and her family stuck in the middle of a succession crisis over the throne, as there is a vocal faction of people who support Edward's older brother Alfred, who is reported to be traveling to gain more support as well as to avoid assassination by his stepmother, the mother of Edward.

The study group meet on Halloween in costumes to go to Vicki's party, with the exception of Pierce (Chevy Chase), who has not been invited. Pierce calls Troy (Donald Glover) as they are leaving, asking for help. Though Jeff (Joel McHale) is reluctant, the group agree to go to Pierce's mansion, where he has locked himself in his panic room. Claiming to have done so accidentally and then saying it was because he saw his father Cornelius's ghost, he asks the group to search his house for the code.

Jeff and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) search together, with Britta attempting to make Jeff confront his issues with his father. In frustration, he eventually reveals that he has had his father's number for weeks but not called it. Meanwhile, Abed (Danny Pudi) abandons Annie (Alison Brie) after discovering a secret passage behind a bookshelf, leading Annie to become afraid, particularly after seeing Cornelius in a mirror. Abed finds a security room and concurrently watches ''Cougar Town'' and the group's activities. After finding a sex dungeon, which Troy does not understand the purpose of, Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) begins to worry about his new relationship with Britta, seeing Troy as too innocent. Abed finds surveillance footage of Pierce being watched in his sleep by an unknown individual.

Jeff finds the notebook containing the panic room code, but the room he is in appears to be haunted, with knocking on the door with no apparent source, a picture of Cornelius distorting and the room beginning to rattle. He finds Britta and leaves. They stumble across Annie, Shirley and Troy, who have witnessed the outline of hands begin to protrude through a wall. Reaching the outside of the panic room, they find an image of Pierce unconscious. Pierce surprises them from behind.

Pierce tried to scare the group as he felt left out from the party. However, he locks the panic room in fear after Abed mentions the footage of an unknown figure he saw. The figure arrives and opens the panic room—it is Gilbert (Giancarlo Esposito), Pierce's half-brother. After Cornelius' death, he arrived at the mansion and began discretely doing housework tasks out of loneliness. Pierce suggests that he move in and the group depart. At home, Jeff calls his father.

Abed (Danny Pudi) and Troy (Donald Glover) attend InSpecTiCon, an ''Inspector Spacetime'' convention. Britta (Gillian Jacobs) joins them, though Abed seems to disapprove of her attendance and her relationship with Troy. Jeff (Joel McHale) and Annie (Alison Brie) join the trip to go skiing. However, when the ski slopes close unexpectedly, Jeff wants to leave. Annie resists and returns to her hotel room, which was reserved under Jeff's name. Abed meets Toby (Matt Lucas), a fan he met online, and the two attend a panel without Troy and Britta. Pierce (Chevy Chase) and Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), who were not invited by the group, arrive at the convention and are selected for a focus group for an American adaptation of ''Inspector Spacetime''.

When Annie orders room service, the staff address her as "Mrs. Winger". She decides to pretend to be Jeff's wife. In the lobby, an ''Inspector Spacetime'' fan, Lauren (Tricia Helfer), mistakes Jeff for an actor from the show; Jeff plays along and flirts with her. Britta realizes Toby is trying to steal Abed away from Troy. After viewing the American adaptation, Pierce criticizes it for being too complicated, while Shirley defends it.

Troy joins Abed and Toby but quickly becomes upset and leaves. Toby, noting that his own friend acted weird after getting married, invites Abed to a convention in London. Meanwhile, a hotel bellman (Chris Tallman) tells Annie about Jeff's flirting in the lobby, assuming that Jeff is cheating on her. To maintain the charade, Annie confronts Jeff, causing Lauren to leave. Angry and confused, Jeff also leaves.

Abed realizes Toby lied about his friend. Toby argues "neurotypicals" hold back people like himself and Abed, but Abed reasons that Troy keeps him emotionally grounded. In response, Toby locks Abed in a prop telephone booth. Troy tries to take a photo with Britta, but he realizes he cannot go through with it; Britta understands and tells him to find Abed. Troy locates Toby and frees Abed. Toby leaves, and Abed and Troy reconcile. Later, Jeff returns to the lobby, where Annie confesses to her play-acting and explains she was upset Jeff tried to leave. The two apologize for their respective actions. The seven group members find each other and decide to stay.

In the end tag, the group watches the American ''Inspector Spacetime''. Afterwards, Abed tells Pierce he hates the changes.

In their first history lesson, the group are annoyed to learn that the course is being taken by some of the German students from "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism" who Jeff (Joel McHale) and Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) were antagonistic with—Karl (Alex Schemmer), Lukas (Alex Klein) and the new member Reinhold (Chris Diamantopoulos). Their teacher, Professor Cornwallis (Malcolm McDowell), sets the assignment of writing about how a conflict from history would look if told from the loser's perspective.

The study group find the Germans occupying their study room and Jeff tries to make them leave. Abed (Danny Pudi) recognizes Karl as a user who saved his life in a video game. Over the coming days, the German group reserve the study table earlier and earlier each morning, beating the group to it and forcing them to study in a variety of rooms with bad smells, faulty lighting or chairs that break.

The study group throw the Germans an Oktoberfest party, seemingly to offer reconciliation. The group send photos of the Germans appearing at the party to the Dean, who informs them that students celebrating their cultural heritage on campus is forbidden, and as a result they will be banned from the study rooms. As the group return to their preferred study room, they are met with protests by other students who see them as bullies. Flashbacks to past episodes show the group's actions interfering with other students' learning.

Professor Cornwallis informs the group that they have missed a test and will be receiving a 0 grade. Now ashamed by their actions, the group works to improve facilities in the other study rooms before returning to their own study room.

Meanwhile, a man from Greendale's mental health services introduces Chang under the name "Kevin" to the Dean (Jim Rash). Chang claims to have "Changnesia", a form of memory loss. He is to be rehabilitated at the community college. The Dean goes to Carl (Jeremy Scott Johnson) and Richie (Brady Novak) of the school board to protest, but they will not reject the money the school will be paid if Chang is enrolled. After Chang turns himself into the police for his crimes the previous year, the Dean arrives in jail to bail him out, believing that the original Chang would never have done that. The Dean introduces the group to Chang, and they begin screaming.

In the end tag, Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed have Karl appear on their fictional "Troy and Abed Podcast", but refuse to appear on Karl's real podcast.

The film takes place in Germany in the 1930s. The film tells about a scientist named Johannes Werner, who discovered the rays of the life-giving force. To prevent the use of the invention as a weapon, he destroys it and goes to the United States, where he is hiding under an assumed name. Suddenly he is offered to visit the military-industrial concern to show him a new European invention. He agrees and meets there his former pupil, who managed to recreate Werner's device and appropriated it to himself.

After his girlfriend leaves him, a city man goes to work in a lumber camp owned by a woman whose rivals are trying to put her out of business.

The first morning of the new semester is rainy, with cherry blossoms falling onto the puddles. The students of Yaegasumi High School enter the school gate with various colors of umbrellas. In front of the shoe locker, Yua starts chatting with her friend, Ren Aikawa, whose tights got wet from the rain. Homi, who was drenched, joined them pretending she was jumping. The new semester begins with the girls doing seemingly normal things, while heavily pandering to foot fetishists.

Set in the late 90s, the story accompanies the outbreak of kidnapping that shook the society of Rio de Janeiro and invaded the pages of newspapers in that decade. It then emerges a task force of the police from the Rio anti-kidnapping division, in order to combat the war between criminal factions.

The film opens in medias res with Tasha, a 22-year-old Eidetic, recounting the events of the film while she is in hospital. She is being interrogated by 'The Lady', a mysterious woman, who accuses her of not completing the task she was allocated; to find an Eidetic man with an origami cat tattoo on his forearm. A flashback shows The Lady hiring Tasha for the job after promising to save her mother who is suffering from a terminal illness. Tasha tortures people who might potentially know where The Man is, eventually leading her to almost commit suicide out of regret but does not as she cannot lose her mother after having lost her father and brother to the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.

The Lady reveals that she knows Tasha came into contact with the 'Man'. Tasha says that she followed him to his hideouts but that he was always several steps ahead of her, leaving origami cat figures with messages taunting her. Using her Eidetic memory, Tasha recounts that the smell of iced cappuccino and a tissue from a coffee shop were present in one of his hideouts. At the coffee shop, she identifies him using his tattoo and texts the Lady who tells her that she is sending backup. Tasha follows the Man into an alleyway where he surprises her by uttering her name and disappears after an oncoming car momentarily distracts her.

The Man arrives at his hideout to discover Tasha already waiting for him and he reveals that the Lady that she is working for has already killed many others like them and that Tasha is just a pawn in her game. They are interrupted by The Lady's backup that arrives in the form of five masked men in black who pull the gun on Tasha, leading her to realize that the Man was right. The two of them team up and help each other to dispatch the assassins.

Back in the office, The Lady demands to know where The Man is and Tasha reveals that he is already there. The Man arrives and reveals himself to be Tasha's long lost brother. He forces The Lady to tell Tasha why she has been hunting Eidetics; since they are a threat to humankind in the long run as they will evolve sooner and become the dominant species. The Lady also divulges that a mother who birthed an Eidetic cannot live long as it takes a toll on her and that Tasha's mother, having birthed two, will die. Furious, Tasha almost kills The Lady but Shane prevents her. The Lady taunts Tasha that she won't survive the war that is coming to which she replies by knocking her out.

The film cuts back to the opening scene where Tasha is in the hospital with Shane who finally meets his mother before she breathes her last. The two siblings scatter her ashes and Tasha remembers that The Lady mentioned that there were more Eidetics out there and vows to find them.

In a mid-credits scene, Tasha and Shane are back in the coffee shop where they encounter three people who they identify as Eidetic after one of them solves a Rubik's cube just like Tasha does throughout the film.

After being found drifting on the wreckage of a sailing boat and rescued by the Coast Guard, Sarah and her two daughters are taken into police custody. Sarah is interrogated by Detective Clarkson, who Sarah claims will not believe what happened onboard the boat. Clarkson asks to hear anyway and Sarah tells her what occurred:

Sarah's husband David, a helmsman on a tourist ferry, impulsively buys a salvaged sailing boat that had been discovered abandoned by the Coast Guard. David intends to take Sarah and their two daughters, teenager Lindsey and ten-year old Mary, on a trip to Bermuda, as a way to strengthen the family’s bond after Sarah had an affair. The family restores the ship that is already named Mary, the same name as their youngest daughter. After David christens the boat, Tommy, Lindsey's boyfriend and David's protege, sees a bright flash of light emanate from the boat while taking a photo.

David, Sarah, Mary, Lindsey, Tommy, and David's friend, Mike set sail for Bermuda. Mary gains an imaginary friend, a woman she claims lives on the boat, and begins making sinister crayon drawings of her friend. On the first night out, David hears a noise from above deck and investigates. He finds Tommy, who has non-fatally stabbed himself with a knife. Tommy attacks David with the knife and is promptly subdued. David has Tommy confined to a mental institution on the Abaco Islands, and he and Sarah resolve to keep this a secret from the others, which strains Sarah and David's relationship with Lindsey. David later receives word that Tommy hanged himself, much to his horror. Sarah later discovers Mary had drawn a picture of a hangman earlier. Numerous supernatural activity occurs, such as footprints mysteriously appearing, Sarah experiencing vivid nightmares, and Sarah being locked inside the cabin and seeing the apparition of a woman.

Tension grows between the crew. Mary smashes a glass on Lindsey's face, and David and Sarah begin to fight constantly, as Sarah wants to turn back while David wants to continue the trip. Sarah and David separately research the history of the boat, and discover that its previous owners had disappeared in similar trips, and all sailed to the same destination; it is implied the boat is possessed by the spirit of a witch who is attempting to replace her children after being drowned.

David and Sarah agree to turn back, and David orders Mike to change course. David hears mysterious noises topside, and discovers Mike, now under the control of the witch, has destroyed the sails, drained the ship of gas, and thrown the satellite phone overboard, and that the boat is caught in a torrential storm. Mike attacks David, but is knocked unconscious and trapped inside one of the cabins. Lindsey sees Tommy's ghost, and is convinced to commit suicide by jumping overboard, though she is saved at the last minute by David. Mike is released from the cabin, and knocks David and Sarah unconscious. Sarah awakens, tied up, and watches as Mike tosses David overboard. Mike does the same to Sarah, but she is able to climb back onboard. She attacks Mike, but he gains the upper hand. David, still alive, appears and shoots Mike with a harpoon gun. Mike falls overboard, and Sarah rescues Lindsey and Mary from the cabin she had been locked in. Sarah sends her daughters overboard in life jackets while David steers the boat. Before Sarah can leave, David is killed by the witch, who attacks Sarah. Sarah fires a flare gun at the witch, and causes the boat to explode.

At the police station, Detective Clarkson concludes Sarah is a murderer and delusional, and has her escorted away by a police officer. Clarkson intends to make sure Sarah never gets custody of her daughters. As she checks footage of the interrogation, Clarkson discovers video distortions, and that Sarah is possessed by a witch. Clarkson hears a noise from the room where Sarah had been taken, and discovers the officer who escorted her dead and Sarah gone, having escaped through the window. The final shot reveals that the police station in the middle of a torrential storm, much like the one that had surrounded the boat.

Joseph wants to break out of his family's kosher butcher shop by starting a successful business, but has had little success. At a party, he and his best friend, Olivier, overhear an old and annoying friend, Clém, announce that France will soon legalise marijuana. Knowing Clém has a soft spot for Olivier, the two help her home while drunk and ask her for more information. Joseph decides to turn the butcher shop into a marijuana café and drives to the Netherlands to see how things operate there. His father, Gérard, is in the back of the van and they get high together, with Gérard indulging too much. However, Gérard does not want to change the family business. Joseph's sister, Aure, grandmother Ludmila, Olivier, and their friend Ali have to collect the men from the Netherlands. Ludmila has an old friend who is a grower in the Netherlands and buys some crops with her savings. Joseph, Aure, and friends come up with a plan to have Gérard's favourite musician, Enrico Macias, convince Gérard to agree to the plan. Enrico likes Joseph and Olivier's musical improvisations and agrees to help if they write an album with him. Meanwhile, Joseph has been paying little attention to his girlfriend, Ali's sister, Aïda.

With Gérard on board, the Hazan family looks to raise money to pay off Clém so that she will have her minister father process their marijuana café application first. Joseph approaches Youssef, Ali and Aïda's ex-convict older brother. The family owns an old farm in the countryside, and they move their crops to a barn there, disguising the operation as a meat processing plant. Shortly after their arrival, the police announce that they are using nearby fields for training. One officer, Élodie, becomes romantically interested in Aure, who starts dating her without telling the rest of the family.

A drug lord, Jaures, has claimed France as her turf, and comes to threaten the family, kidnapping Olivier. They agree to give her some of their product in exchange for his release. Their business becomes successful due to Ludmila's cultivation skills. Joseph names the strain "Pastraweed". Jaures later returns, kidnapping Joseph's children and telling them they need to quit growing; the family convinces her to let them continue if they grow for her. Gérard starts dating a woman named Catherine. Ludmila suffers a stroke, and Aure impersonates her grandmother to conceal her absence. Élodie notices and demands Aure tell her what is happening. The family accidentally kill Jaures in self defence, turning her body into sausages to hide it. Their grow operation finally busted, the men of the family get sent to prison. Aïda, a lawyer, begins to investigate. Other prisoners respect the creators of Pastraweed but also want drug-related favours in exchange for protection, including a business meeting with their dead boss, Jaures. The family convince Catherine to pretend to be Jaures, which she does very convincingly.

Just as they are about to be released, the men are broken out of prison and, with Aure and Ludmila, who have been kidnapped off the street, flown to a monastery in a foreign country. Ali works with his siblings, Clém, and Enrico to track down the family from Paris. Catherine turns out to be a rival drug lord and poses as another hostage in order to obtain information from the Hazans. Ludmila has recovered and is taken away to grow Pastraweed for the cartel. To stop their captors from killing them, Joseph and Olivier convince them they have also been developing magic mushrooms, which they found growing around the mouldy plumbing. High on hallucinogens, the boys accidentally escape their prison, but the local corrupt police eventually return them to the monastery. Catherine has really fallen for Gérard and decides to help them escape, having put her son in charge while she plays victim. Aïda gets the French police to organise a rescue mission, knowing Catherine's affiliations and working out where they are being held.

In 1983, the Korean immigrant Yi family moves from California to their new plot of land in rural Arkansas, where father Jacob hopes to grow Korean produce to sell to vendors in Dallas. One of his first decisions is to decline the services of a water diviner and he digs a well in a spot he finds on his own. He enlists the help of Paul, an eccentric local man and Korean War veteran. While Jacob is optimistic about the life ahead, his wife Monica is disappointed and worries about their son David's heart condition; he is frequently told not to run due to this. Jacob and Monica work sexing chicks at the nearby hatchery and argue constantly while David and his sister Anne eavesdrop.

To help watch the children during the day, they arrange for Monica's mother Soon-ja to travel from South Korea. David, who is forced to share a room with her, avoids her because she does not conform to his idea of how a grandmother should be. Still, Soon-ja attempts to adjust to life in the States and bond with the children. The well that Jacob dug runs dry. Jacob is reluctant to pay for county water, but eventually is forced to do so. He runs into additional difficulties, such as the vendor in Dallas cancelling their order at the last minute. Even so, he perseveres despite Monica's vocal desire to return to California. This brings their marriage closer to breaking point.

Meanwhile, Soon-ja takes David to plant minari seeds by the creek. She tells him how resilient and useful the plant is, and predicts plentiful growth. David finally begins to warm to his grandmother after she teaches him hwatu, bandages his wounds, and soothes him to sleep. Soon-ja also encourages him to do more physical activity, something his parents discourage, but she says that he is stronger than they think. Soon-ja suddenly suffers a stroke overnight. She survives with medical treatment, but is left with impaired movement and speech.

Jacob, Monica, Anne and David head to Oklahoma City for David's heart appointment and to meet a vendor to sell Jacob's produce. Although they learn that David's heart condition has dramatically improved and Jacob makes a deal to sell vegetables to a Korean grocer, Jacob also indirectly admits to Monica that the success of his crops is more important to him than the stability of their family. Following an emotional argument, the two tacitly agree to separate.

However, Soon-ja accidentally sets the barn containing the produce on fire in their absence. Upon arriving home, Jacob rushes in to save the crops, and Monica soon follows. Eventually, the fire grows out of control, and they decide to save each other while leaving the barn to burn. A distraught and confused Soon-ja begins to wander off into the distance, as Anne and David call for her to come back. Seeing that she is not responding to them, David breaks into a sprint to meet her, blocking her path. Soon-ja seems to recognize David for a moment, and reaches for his hand and the grandchildren lead her back home. The family is asleep on the floor, collapsed from the fatigue of the night before. Above them, Soon-ja is awake, in a chair, watching them sleep with a subdued expression.

Some time later, Jacob and Monica are with the water diviner who finds a spot for a well. They mark it with a stone signifying their intention to stay on the farm. Jacob and David then head to the creek to harvest the minari, which had grown successfully, with Jacob noting how good a spot Soon-ja had picked to plant them.

Sometime in the future, Earth has been ravaged by natural disasters and sea-levels rise, making it largely uninhabitable. A woman (Emelie Garbers) works on board the Aniara, a luxurious spaceship that takes passengers from Earth to Mars in three weeks. Her job involves working as a "Mimarobe" within the Mima, an artificial intelligence designed to evoke viewers' experiences of Earth's lush, verdant past through a totally immersive virtual-reality experience that taps into participants' memories and emotions.

In the first week of Aniara's voyage, the ship suddenly veers off course to avoid a collision with space debris. Some of the debris pierces the hull and hits the ship's nuclear reactor, setting off an imminent meltdown and forcing the crew to eject all the ship's fuel. This results in the ship having no navigational control, no propulsion, and thus no ability to resume its original course. Captain Chefone promises the passengers and crew that they will be able to resume the trip to Mars once the ship passes a celestial body, which should happen in no more than two years. The Mimarobe's roommate, the ship's astronomer, later reveals to her that this is a lie and that there is no possibility of resuming their course.

On board, the Mimarobe finds her usually unimportant job becoming more popular and necessary than ever, as passengers crave the Mima to soothe them from claustrophobia and panic attacks. After three years the Mima becomes one of the most important functions necessary to keep calm on board the ship. With so many people bringing their horrific memories of Earth's destruction to the Mima, it becomes overwhelmed and self-destructs, committing suicide. Though the Mimarobe had asked the captain for a month of rest for the Mima, she is blamed for the machine's malfunction and imprisoned.

By the fourth year, cults have developed, and suicides lead the Mimarobe and Isagel, a former pilot, who is now the Mimarobe's lover, to be granted releases and reassigned to work. The Mimarobe and Isagel join a fertility cult dedicated to Mima, which leaves Isagel pregnant after an orgy. She suffers from depression during her pregnancy and is tempted to end the child's life after it is born. The Mimarobe wants to build a "beam-screen", a projection device acting as a mimic of Mima to alleviate Isagel's depression, while Captain Chefone forbids her from doing so and orders her to focus on educating children in the hopes that one or more of them might be able to discover a way to return them to Mars.

In the fifth year, the ship's astronomer and Isagel discover that a probe large enough to possibly contain fuel is travelling towards the Aniara, meaning that a rescue is possibly being attempted. The probe takes over a year to reach the Aniara, and upon being brought onto the ship in the sixth year, the crew quickly realize that they are unable to identify it, its origins or whether it contains fuel. While the captain orders the crew to keep working on the probe, they eventually lose hope of it being a means of rescue. The Astronomer laments that their ship is a sarcophagus, defying Captain Chefone's orders for the crew to keep a united front to prevent the passengers from losing hope. In a fit of rage, Captain Chefone shoots a taser at the Astronomer, which kills her.

The Mimarobe begins work on her projection device, eventually succeeding in projecting a waterfall onto the dark windows of the spaceship. Having succeeded, she learns that Isagel has committed suicide and has also killed the child they were raising together, after learning that the algae tanks the passengers rely upon for food and water have become contaminated. Five years later, the few remaining crew celebrate the 10th anniversary of their voyage into space. While listlessly accepting an honorary medal from Captain Chefone for her creation of the beam-screen, the Mimarobe notices that his wrists are bandaged from a presumed suicide attempt. In year 24 of the voyage, a few remaining survivors, including the Mimarobe, sit cross-legged in a dimly lit room. An unidentified woman in the group rhapsodizes about the divine power of sunlight on Earth, as the ship slowly descends into final darkness.

Finally, in year of its voyage, the Aniara – derelict, frozen and devoid of human life – presumably reaches the first star in its trajectory, GM-54, a fictional star in the Lyra constellation. A planet orbiting the star, and as verdant and welcoming as Earth was formerly, begins pulling Aniara towards itself.

A young boy imagines being in a tale he's about to hear. In this magical world he encounters many famous characters from other tales, aliens and other beings and of course, a beautiful princess.

In the fall of 1963, Louise is a 13-year-old girl who lives with her widowed mother. Before she is set to leave for boarding school, she discovers a box belonging to her late father. The box contains secret documents in additions to condoms, but Louise thinks they are balloons. She also learns her father was a member of the secret order of Freemasons. While at boarding school, Louise attempts to explain to friends what the Freemasons are. The girls form their own version of a Masonic club. Meanwhile, Louise’s mother finds the box in Louise’s room and inadvertently thinks her daughter is sexually active. Louise learns her parents’ marriage was not what she thought it was.

The setting is in the 1990s and reflects on the IMF Crisis of 1997. Mi-soo, a hardworking part-time worker at a bakery, indirectly exchanges stories with Hyun-woo on a radio program. Both fall in love and continue to cross paths, but timing is not in their favor.

In 1994, Hyun-woo comes into the bakery Mi-soo works at before opening time and asks her if they sell anything that contains soy. Mi-soo suggests soy milk, but realizes they don't have soy milk and refers him to the grocery store down the street. As Hyun-woo is leaving, Mi-soo and another employee, Eun-ja, Mi-soo’s close friend, watch as he walks away, assuming he is newly released from prison. Later, Hyun-woo returns and applies as a part-timer for the bakery. He gets the job and he and Mi-soo begin to work together. Hyun-woo, Mi-soo, and Eun-ja spend a lot of time together and opening up to each other. During winter, Hyun-woo and Mi-soo put out a Christmas tree in front of the bakery. The two share a sentimental moment outside as Mi-soo tells him that her mother always wished to share happiness with the rest of the community.

Around Christmas, construction for new apartment buildings begins in their neighborhood and old friends of Hyun-woo find him and stop by. Their presence disrupts the quiet peace of the bakery and eventually, Eun-ja asks them to leave. Hyun-woo is about to leave with them and asks him if he can get his payment in advance. Mi-soo and Eun-ja wonder if he'll ever come back. Later that night, Hyun-woo and his friends are eating at a soju bar and have a solemn moment to remember their friend, Jyeong-hyeop who passed away. A group of strangers passes by them and one remarks it seems like a funeral. One of Hyun-woo's friends gets angry and picks a fight with the stranger, ending up with all of them in a fight. Mi-soo waits in the bakery for Hyun-woo to return, but he never does.

In 1997, the bakery has closed. Mi-soo meets with a college counselor and confides she didn't get a job at any of the big companies. He tells her she has two options: a temporary gig working for a popular radio show or a stable job at newsletter editor company. She decides the latter. She visits Eun-ja, who is now working at a noodle shop, and shares the good news with her. Meanwhile, Hyun-woo is working as a furniture mover. After his shift, his coworker asks if Hyun-woo can escort his elderly mother home and Hyun-woo obliges. As he is escorting the old woman home, Mi-soo stops by the old bakery. Hyun-woo notices Mi-soo and tells her to wait for him there. She agrees and Hyun-woo returns, both engaging in small talk. The two reconnect and Mi-soo asks if he wants to visit Eun-ja's noodle shop the next day. Hyun-woo tells her about his military service which begins tomorrow and offers to walk her home. When they arrive at Mi-soo's apartment, the two spend time together in her apartment and eventually, Hyun-woo stays the night. Mi-soo admits on the day he left, she waited for him to return and Hyun-woo tells her that he wanted to return, but his probation was revoked due to the bar fight.

In the morning, Mi-soo wakes up before him and signs him up for an email account. She gives it to him as departs and tells him to keep in contact with her this way. The two share a brief and awkward kiss before heading off in their separate direction. Later that night, Mi-soo realizes that she forgot to give him the password to the email, which was her code to the apartment.

In 2000, the bakery has been turned into a real estate agency office and the new apartment complexes have been built. Mi-soo is miserable at her newsletter editing job, where the machinery is loud and she frequently works overtime. She continued sending emails to Hyun-woo, even though he can't open his email. Hyun-woo was just released from military service and tries to find Mi-soo, only to find out that she has moved. He decides to move into her old apartment and as he is signing the lease, he sees her old apartment code and finally gets into his email account. Mi-soo is overjoyed to find she has a way to contact him and asks for his number, so she can call him the next day. The next day, she calls him and schedule a meet up. However, an angry mob storms Hyun-woo's job, breaking his phone. Mi-soo tries to call him many times, but is unable to. Later, Mi-soo emails him that it was a good thing that they didn't meet, since she isn't in the mood to catch up and act happy. She hates herself and admits that the only that has made her happy these days was Hyun-woo figuring out the password. She tells him to get in touch with her when something good happens.

Five years later, Mi-soo is now happy at her new book publishing job. Her boss takes her to a book shop, where she finds out that the new book she published is a top seller and they rejoice together. Meanwhile, Hyun-woo now works at a video editing startup that is moving in above where she works. The two reconnect yet again and Hyun-woo brings her to his apartment. Surprised, Mi-soo looks around before finally telling him that she is happy to see him. They start dating and Mi-soo takes three days off work to spend time with Hyun-woo. One night, Hyun-woo asks if she's still scared of her, since she used to be when they were younger. She shakes her head and the two kiss. Later, they visit Eun-ja, who has gotten married and has a step-daughter that causes her trouble. As Eun-ja and Hyun-woo are reconnecting, a student calls for Eun-ja, telling her her daughter is about to get beaten up. Eun-ja and Hyun-woo go, finding Mi-soo apprehending Eun-ja's daughter for smoking cigarettes. Mi-soo asks why she lets her daughter treat her badly and cause so much trouble. Eun-ja calms her down and serves Mi-soo and Hyun-woo food. As they leave Eun-ja, Mi-soo comments that Eun-ja could probably tell that they were dating.

The two continue to spend time together. At his work, Hyun-woo has a picture of Mi-soo that he took. Mi-soo also recommends Hyun-woo as a video editor for Yoo Yeol's new visual radio show. Meanwhile, Mi-soo's boss tells her that he will get her to fall for him. One day, Hyun-woo goes to return comic books and his old friends find him. It turns out that it's the tenth anniversary of Jyeong-hyeop's death, for which Hyeon-o was blamed and imprisoned for. They were playing around on the rooftop as children and Jyeong-hyeop fell down, so Hyun-woo was suspected of pushing him off. The group drives to Jyeong-hyeop's old house, where they deliver money to his sister. His sister tells them to leave and Hyeon-o tries to tell her that he is innocent, but she ignores him. Hyun-woo leaves his phone in his friend's car when he returns home and Mi-soo calls, only to hear that one of his friends has it. She meets with Hyun-woo's old friend to pick up the phone and learns about Hyun-woo's past.

Without Hyun-woo's knowledge, Mi-soo goes to visit Jyeong-hyeop's house, but his family has moved. Later that night, Mi-soo tells Hyun-woo what she learned and asks if everything will be okay now. Hyun-woo is devastated, as he prayed that Mi-soo would never find out, so he could try to live a normal, peaceful life without his past haunting him. Mi-soo tells him that he never told her and that she was tired of seeing him so anxious. She begs him not to leave, but he goes off. He finds his friend that told her about Jyeong-hyeop. The two beat each other up, and Hyun-woo visits Eun-ja's noodle shop. He returns home to find Mi-soo gone. The next day Hyun-woo returns to his old workplace because he left his picture of Mi-soo there, but it has been bought by Mi-soo's boss. He meets her boss, who tells him that he has the picture of Mi-soo at his apartment and that Hyun-woo and Mi-soo aren't happy together, so Mi-soo deserves someone better. Hyun-woo admits his dislike for her boss and asks if he will find Mi-soo if he follows her boss's car. This makes her boss laugh and he drives off with Hyun-woo chasing after him. Mi-soo gets picked up by her boss and sees Hyun-woo running after the car. She asks her boss to stop and she leaves the car to speak with Hyun-woo. Hyun-woo confesses that he loves her, but Mi-soo only tells him to stop running. Heartbroken, Hyun-woo breaks down into tears as Mi-soo drives away.

A few days later, Mi-soo visits Eun-ja. Eun-ja makes her doughnuts, but tells her that it doesn't taste the same anymore. Mi-soo replies that everything in the world has changed, except the taste of her doughnuts. They reminisce and Eun-ja tells her about the night Hyun-woo visited. She says that Hyun-woo thanked Eun-ja for trusting him, even though his grandmother, aunt, and teacher never believed him. Hyun-woo starts his job as the video editor for Yoo Yeol's show (a popular radio show) and Yoo Yeol asks if he has anyone he wants to give a shout out to. Mi-soo tunes in and hears that Hyun-woo gave a shout out to her on the show and goes over to the studio. She finds Hyun-woo packing up and smiles at seeing him. Hyun-woo notices her and takes a picture of her as she smiles at him.

In 1981, on the Red Crow Indian Reservation in Quebec, Canada, fisherman Gisigu catches a number of salmon, and observes that they continue to move after being gutted. Elsewhere that morning, Gisigu's son, indigenous sheriff Traylor, responds to a call about a dying dog that belongs to his ex-wife, nurse Joss. Traylor euthanizes the dog by gunshot. He goes to visit Joss, and learns that their son Joseph has been arrested for vandalism in nearby Hollarbaster and is in jail with his half-brother Lysol. Traylor then visits Gisigu, who shows him the gutted yet moving salmon. Joss's dead dog reanimates in the trunk of Traylor's police car, and Traylor shoots it. Gisigu and Traylor set the dog and the fish on fire.

Traylor and Joss head into town to free Joseph from jail. Traylor, Joseph, Lysol, and police officer Shamu encounter an ill, violent man in the jail who bites Joseph on the arm. Joseph goes to a hospital, where his white, pregnant girlfriend Charlie is waiting. That night, Traylor responds to a call from an indigenous man named Shooker. Traylor enters Shooker's house and is attacked and bitten by Shooker's white girlfriend, whom Traylor beats with the butt of a shotgun. Traylor and Shooker head to a bridge where Joss, Joseph and Charlie have found themselves after having escaped the hospital in an ambulance.

Six months later, the outbreak of flesh-eating "zeds" has become widespread, and the Red Crow Reservation has been turned into a fortified compound. Its residents have learned that indigenous people cannot be infected by the "zed" plague, though white people can. Lysol has become increasingly aggressive towards Joseph and others' tendency to bring outsiders—such as a man and his young daughter, the latter of whom was bitten by an infected person, as well as a girl named Lilith, who hides the fact that she has also been infected—to the compound.

That night, at Lysol's shelter away from the compound, Joseph finds a now-zombified Lilith chewing on Lysol's phallus as he is crying on the floor from the pain. Joseph, Lysol and Moon then drive back to the compound with Lilith in restraints. Believing that the policy of letting in white survivors led to his disfigurement, Lysol snaps, stabbing Joseph with a knife, and lets Lilith loose inside the compound. Traylor and Gisigu, who went on a mission to eliminate zombies at a gas station with fellow tribesmen Bumper and Shooker, return to the compound to find it overrun with zombies. They learn that Joss, Joseph, Charlie, and eight other survivors are trapped in the basement of the compound. In the process of rescuing them, Shooker is able to drive away some of the survivors but Traylor is eaten alive by zombies to allow his family escape as they weren't able to get in the car in time.

Joss, Joseph and Charlie escape with Gisigu and Bumper. While Gisigu and Joseph enter a church to stop two associates of Lysol from murdering a group of survivors, Lysol finds Joss, Charlie and Bumper. Lysol backstabs Bumper heavily wounding him, and Joss shoots Lysol, but not before Lysol is able to unleash a zombie from the trunk of a car. The zombie bites Charlie, and Joseph arrives and kills the zombie. Joseph and Gisigu lead a wounded Lysol away from the scene, and Joseph stabs Lysol. Gisigu lets off a gunshot into the air, alerting zombies to the location where Lysol is; the zombies proceed to eat Lysol alive.

They think all hope is lost as the one remaining boat able to allow their escape is burning. Shooker with someone else comes back for them with two boats and takes Bumper with him while Joseph, Charlie and Joss set out into a large body of water with the other boat. Gisigu, armed with a sword, stays behind on land to fight off the zombies, and seems to survive standing with the last zombie's head in his hand. On the boat, Charlie gives birth to a baby girl. Charlie, feeling she is about to succumb to her bite wound, asks Joseph to kill her before she transforms into a zombie, and he mournfully shoots her in the head. The survivors boat continues to drift in the water, their fate unknown.

The Spanish Emilius has secretly married the French Louisa. The play begins with their safe arrival in Sardinia, where Emilius' father is the Viceroy.

Appamia (Emilius' foster-sister) is also in love with Emilius, and is shocked to hear of his marriage. She hopes to make the couple doubt each other's fidelity, and when this doesn't work, she tricks Emilius into giving Louisa poison. As Louisa convulses in agony, Appamia's plot is revealed to all. A distraught Emilius kills himself, and Louisa dies immediately afterwards. Appamia is taken into custody.

Julia is in love with Don Carlos, the Governor of Cadiz. The couple have secretly exchanged private vows of love, but Julia's father then coerces her into marrying Don Francisco, an old Englishman who now lives in Spain.

Francisco proves to be a jealous and oppressive husband. After they are taken prisoner by supposed corsairs, the terrified Francisco relinquishes Julia to their captor, a 'Turkish Sultan'. The Sultan is actually Carlos in disguise, and he and Julia are able to consummate their relationship. Their trick is discovered once Julia's father arrives at the villa. Carlos announces to the group that he and Julia did not commit adultery, because their private vows meant that they were already married in the eyes of God. Francisco is therefore obliged to release Julia from their marriage.

In a sub-plot, Francisco's haughty daughter Isabella is supposed to marry Antonio (a friend of Carlos). She is introduced to Guiliom, a chimney-sweep who is masquerading as a nobleman (the 'false count' of the title). Antonio is then free to marry Clara (Julia's sister), with whom he is actually in love.

A mature male grizzly bear, enjoying the tactical advantage of being at home in the Alaskan mountains, is stalked and wounded — but not killed — by illegal poachers. The bear, now in possession of a revenge motive, goes to war against human beings. The death/wounding toll includes a logger, campers, hikers, hunters, a juvenile Boy Scout, and the local sheriff. With the backing of Alaska Forest Commissioner Ben Jones, master hunter Jason Monroe must find and kill the deadly animal. In so doing he is aided by sidekick Native Alaskan Henry, and is challenged by love rival Howard.

Players take the role of Azra, the Royal Librarian in the Ash Kingdom, which is being devastated by a plague that creates living dead monsters. After almost dying, she finds out that she has the power of bringing people to the spiritual world, which is the key to being able to fight the hordes of undying monsters, which are unbeatable in the physical world. During her adventure, Azra will get the help of several companions and discover the source of the plague and how she and her party can stop it and save the World.

A bruised and bloodied woman wakes chained to a wall, unable to remember her name or how she arrived in her situation. Her captor, a crazed woman named Molly Southbourne, tells her a story. Molly was raised in a secluded farm. Every time she bleeds, another molly appears. (The blood of other mollies, however, does not create more mollies). At first the mollies appear friendly, but in three days or less they will "turn bad" and try to murder her.

At college, Molly begins a short-lived relationship with a man named Leon. Molly's parents are killed by a molly. She drops out of college and is hired as a research assistant by anatomy professor James Down, whom she eventually dates. Molly finds a letter from her mother. As a government spy, her mother was ordered to steal the biomedical research of a professor investigating declining female fertility. She injected herself with an experimental fluid, leading to Molly's condition. James discovers that Leon was killed by his own molly, a slow-growing clone that eventually ruptured and killed him. James has been infected and will soon die as well. Molly builds a dungeon in her basement.

Molly reveals that the woman chained to the wall is the eleventh molly to appear since the construction of the dungeon, and the first which has not gone insane. Molly commits suicide and allows the new molly to take her place.

Sir Patient Fancy, a hypochondriacal old man, has married the young and beautiful Lucia. She had wanted to marry Charles Wittmore, but neither of them had any money of their own. Charles and Lucia have an affair under Sir Patient's nose.

At the end of the play, Lucia and Wittmore reveal to her husband that they are lovers and had plotted her marriage to him for money. Sir Patient announces his plans to divorce Lucia. Now controlling a large fortune (money previously given to her by Sir Patient), she looks forward to a new life with Wittmore.

Major Coridon Gore, aged 42, a well-known novelist, lives quietly in Elm Cottage near the fictional village of Halliard in Hampshire, looked after by his devoted housekeeper Florence Davey. As a consequence of a head injury he received during the war, Gore suffers from occasional lapses of memory. His sole confidante and 'Privy Counsellor', to whom he speaks every day, is the cottage's ancient and majestic elm.

Unknown to Gore, his godfather has left him the sum of £10,000 in his will provided that he is found to be 'up ''and'' dressed' when his executors call at exactly half past nine. When the executors arrive unannounced, they find Gore in his shirtsleeves and they fraudulently intend to withhold the inheritance. They are thwarted by Gore's good friend and family solicitor Pompey Colbourne.

One morning, while Gore is communing with the elm, a young woman who is holidaying nearby walks past the gate. They fall into conversation, although without exchanging names. A few days later, Gore receives in the post an unsigned card with an exquisite drawing of him and the elm. Meeting again at Ascot, Gore learns that she is Niobe Coke, aged 26. The pair rapidly fall in love. Two days before their intended wedding, while Gore is staying in London, the elm is brought down by an overnight storm, a disaster that the family fear will affect his fragile mind. But even before the news can be broken to him, Gore suffers an attack of amnesia while walking down Bond Street and completely forgets who he is. Gore is identified by the tailor's label in his suit, and his sister Cleopatra is informed.

Niobe and Cleopatra seek advice from the eminent physician Dr Berserk. He tells them that Gore should recover provided that he continues to live very quietly for the next six months, but that he will need a close companion of his own class. Niobe decides to live with him under the pretence that their marriage did in fact take place as planned. Although unable to remember any of his friends and family, Gore readily accepts Niobe as his wife, and grows to love her anew. He does not realise that the elm is gone, and to avoid distressing him the family do not mention it.

After some months, the family decide that Gore really must be told that he is as yet unmarried. He is horrified but, deeply in love, readily agrees to marry straight away. Niobe arranges to have some of her drawings commercially published, Pompey taking on the role of her agent.

One sultry day, exactly a year after they first met, the couple visit Ascot again. Gore gets a headache, and as they are driving home his lost memories suddenly return – though he does not know it. Niobe is beside herself with worry about the shock he must experience when he realises that the elm is gone. Fortunately, her worries are not borne out, and he faces the loss by noting that she herself has now replaced the tree as his Privy Counsellor.

In 1997, Elvis Presley's former manager, Colonel Tom Parker, is on his deathbed having suffered a stroke. Nursing a gambling addiction that has left him destitute, he looks back on how he first met the future King of Rock and Roll.

Raised mostly by his doting mother Gladys, Elvis spent his childhood in the poorest parts of Mississippi. He finds an escape in the comic book adventures of Captain Marvel Jr. and especially in song, though once he moves with his parents to Memphis, he is ridiculed by his peers due to his fascination with the African-American music of Memphis' Beale Street. At this time, Parker is a carnival "huckster" who fancies himself a modern-day P.T. Barnum. Although Parker is partnered with country singer Hank Snow, Parker immediately realizes Elvis' crossover potential when he hears the White artist "sounding black" on the groundbreaking single, "That's All Right". That night, he sees Elvis at a ''Louisiana Hayride'' performance, finding him a talented musician with strong sex appeal.

Parker persuades Elvis to let him take exclusive control of his career, beginning a meteoric ascent that sees the Presley family lifted out of poverty. The regional public is divided in their view of the singer. Segregationist Southern Democrat Mississippi Senator Jim Eastland expresses the view that Elvis’ music will corrupt white children, stoking racial hostility. Eastland calls Parker to an informal hearing, during which he questions Parker about his mysterious past.

After Elvis' charged dance moves at a concert, the singer finds himself facing potential legal trouble. Parker persuades the government to draft Elvis into the US Army instead to avoid any legal entanglements. During his military service in West Germany, Elvis is devastated by his mother's alcoholism-induced death. He only recovers when he meets Priscilla Beaulieu. After his discharge, he resumes his movie career, and years later, he marries Priscilla.

As the popular culture of the 1960s passes him by, Elvis is heartbroken by the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. Although he wants to become more politically outspoken in his music, Parker only allows him to release frivolous feel-good songs. Elvis eventually decides to revamp his image with the help of an outside group of consultants, redirecting a corporate-sponsored Christmas special television shoot into a career revival based on a return to older songs and a direct acknowledgement of Elvis’ use of sexuality in performance via the wardrobe choice of an all black-leather performance outfit. The film depicts the performance choices in the special, including the closing number, as being presented and perceived as acts of political commentary. Corporate sponsors are infuriated and threaten litigation, while Parker is disgusted, believing Elvis to have been "brainwashed by hippies". Regardless, the show is a massive hit.

After the special, Elvis headlines at the largest showroom in Las Vegas, the International Hotel, and then resumes concert tours. Parker's control of Elvis' life becomes even stronger as he refuses Elvis' request for a world tour and tricks him into signing a contract for a lengthy Las Vegas casino residency. Elvis discovers that Parker cannot travel abroad because he is a stateless illegal immigrant; having surrendered his original Dutch citizenship, he would not be able to return to America after leaving. When he attempts to fire Parker, the manager responds by suing him for an impossibly large sum of money. They argue, and Parker convinces Elvis that the two need each other. They rarely see each other afterwards, though Parker continues in his role as manager.

Elvis' behavioral issues and prescription drug addiction overtake him, and a despondent Priscilla divorces him in 1973, taking their daughter Lisa Marie with her. Elvis continues a rigorous schedule of shows that leaves him increasingly exhausted. Shortly before his death in 1977, Elvis expresses his greatest fear to Priscilla: that no one will remember him after he is gone.

The movie ends with Elvis at one of his final shows. Bloated and pale, he sings "Unchained Melody". He ends the performance triumphantly, to thunderous applause. As he finishes his recollection, Colonel Parker dies, impoverished and alone, while Elvis is beloved worldwide and is the best-selling solo artist in history.

Two law school grads take on their first big cases as prosecutors for the federal government as U.S. Attorney Joe Dubbs is attempting to bring down the crime boss Dominic Leopold. A corrupt city utilities commissioner promises Leopold the contract for a massive public works project in return for a huge kickback. A small-time hood is murdered just as he is about to blow the whistle on the organized crime ring and expose the scheme to defraud the city.

Jack Baker (Walter Miller) is an aviation engineer, pilot, and president of the Baker Aircraft Company. He has invented new aviation innovations to be mounted on his company's aircraft.

The owners of Globe Air Corporation, a rival aviation company, are after these new inventions. Their president, William Craft (Robert Walker), hires a masked and mysterious airman, known only as "Pilot X", who also makes plans to steal those inventions for his own use. He uses a trained monkey to steal one of them, a radio-controlled "flying torpedo", that was in engineer Baker's workshop. In the air, his gang of "Air Hawks" pose serious peril to the Baker Aircraft Company.

The attacks are largely aimed at stealing Baker's exclusive rights to the "Aerometer", invented by James B. Joyce (C. H. Allen), a new navigational instrument that makes flying safer in all sorts of weather, even at night. The inventor's daughter, Shirley (Eugenia Gilbert), is an aviatrix who is Baker's fiancée.

"World-famous aviatrix" Fawn Nesbitt (Dorothy Talcott), who hopes to become the first female pilot to fly around the world, becomes concerned when Baker's aircraft begin crashing. She is to be married to Albert Orren (Eugene Burr), the owner of a rival aircraft company.

As the air attacks mount, Baker and Shirley are in constant danger, both on the ground and above the clouds. Their efforts always seem to be known to the mysterious Pilot X, and suspicion falls on Perkins (Arthur Morrison), Joyce's butler, who is always nearby when plans are being discussed.

In Havana, Cuba, Andrés Hernández and his kinkajou Vivo play music together in the plaza. One day after their show, Andrés receives a letter from Marta Sandoval, an old friend of his, informing him that she is retiring from her music career. The letter offers a chance to reconnect in Miami, at the Mambo Cabana and for Andrés to finally tell Marta he loves her through a song he wrote just for her. Vivo, happy with their life in Cuba, is reluctant to help Andrés. The next morning, Andrés has died in his sleep and that night, a funeral service is held in the plaza, with Andrés' niece-in-law Rosa and her daughter Gabi attending before they head back to their home in Key West, Florida.

Ashamed of his earlier reluctance, Vivo vows himself to get Marta to hear Andrés' song. He stows away to Key West with Gabi and Rosa. Gabi is thrilled when she discovers Vivo hiding in her stuff. Gabi finds Andrés's song and agrees to help Vivo deliver the song to Marta. Under the guise of attending a cookie sale in town, Gabi and Vivo purchase bus tickets to get to Marta's show, but they are stopped by the girl scout troop, the Sand Dollars, who show an interest in Vivo. Gabi and Vivo manage to escape from them, but miss the bus. They end up in the Everglades and are separated by a freak rain storm, losing the song.

While searching for Gabi, Vivo comes across a roseate spoonbill named Dancarino, who is unsuccessful in finding love with one of his own. With Vivo's help, he is able to win the heart of Valentina. The two later rescue Vivo from a Burmese python named Lutador. Meanwhile, Gabi discovers that she was followed by the Sand Dollars on a boat and that they have Andrés' song, keeping it from her until she leads them to Vivo. When the girls are attacked by Lutador, Vivo saves them, but the song is destroyed in the process. Desolated, Vivo considers returning to Cuba until he realizes he and Gabi can recreate the song, as he knows the melody and Gabi knows the lyrics. Together, they make it to Miami and search for Marta, who has learned of Andrés' death and refuses to go on stage.

Gabi and Vivo sneak inside the Mambo Cabana, but Gabi is unable to enter and tells Vivo to go on without her. She is soon caught by security and her furious mother. Vivo finds a mourning Marta, who recognizes him from Andrés' obituary photo, and delivers the song. Touched by the song, Marta is revitalized and decides to go on stage. Vivo then locates Gabi and Rosa, who are arguing while driving back home. Gabi confesses she decided to help Vivo because she misses her deceased father. Deeply moved, Rosa reassures her daughter, and drives Gabi and Vivo back to the concert just in time to hear Marta play Andrés' song. Vivo decides to stay in Florida with Gabi and Rosa. Gabi and Vivo put on their own show in the city with Marta, entertaining the crowd.

Mason IJje Wijkstra starts a relationship with Aaltje Botter, a married woman with 6 children, in a time when adulatory was illegal.

Middle-aged best friends Barb and Star leave their home of Soft Rock, Nebraska for the first time to go on vacation to Vista Del Mar, Florida. They are apprehensive about trying something new. The two friends construct a narrative about a woman named "Trish", who becomes a water spirit. Upon arrival, they find accommodations at the luxurious Vista Del Mar Hotel and resolve to try many excursions, particularly an inflatable banana inner tube ride.

Meanwhile, an eccentric villain, Sharon Fisherman is plotting against the denizens of Vista Del Mar. Sharon lived there as a child, and her pale white skin and sensitivity to the sun made her an outcast and a target of bullying. She plans to unleash lethal mosquitos, killing everyone. She sends her henchman, Edgar, to Vista Del Mar to plant a homing beacon that will attract the mosquitos once they are unleashed. She falsely promises Edgar that if he succeeds, she will finally make their relationship official.

Barb and Star encounter Edgar at the hotel bar and begin to bond and party with him. The next morning, Edgar realizes he lost the microchip for the beacon during the night, infuriating Sharon. She sends another agent, Darlie Bunkle, to give Edgar another microchip and to spy on him, Barb, and Star. Barb meets with Edgar, but feels conflicted about seeing him behind Star's back, and decides not to pursue him any further. Star also meets with Edgar, but despite feeling conflicted about Barb, continues to have a sexual relationship with him in secret that develops into romance.

Star's secret tryst leaves Barb alone at the resort, and Barb tries out all Vista Del Mar has to offer. On the day of the annual Seafood Jam, she decides to wait for Star before going on the banana ride, but spots Star and Edgar having sex on Edgar's balcony. She goes to confront Edgar, but overhears his plans with Sharon. She informs Star, who accuses her of jealousy, while Barb accuses her of lying to her. Sharon uses photos from Darlie to convince Edgar that Barb and Star are spies and that Star was using him. She orders him to kill them. Edgar captures them but cannot bring himself to kill them, leaving them indoors where they will be safe and plants the beacon. They escape, but are kidnapped by Sharon, who brings them to an ocean cliff. She forces the women to jump, and leaves to go ensure her revenge succeeds. As they fall, Barb and Star's culottes act as parachutes that allow them to safely land on the ground. They reconcile and go to stop Sharon.

Edgar realizes that Sharon lied to him about Barb and Star, that she never loved him, and was setting him up to die. He spots Star and Barb and helps them locate the homing beacon. He confesses his love to Star, but they are held at gunpoint by Darlie. Edgar fights Darlie, while Star and Barb escape with the beacon, taking a jet ski out to sea to save the town. Sharon uses a human cannon to reach them, regaining the beacon. However, it is too late and the unleashed mosquitos converge on her. Barb and Star go underwater, avoiding the mosquitos. They are rescued and brought back to shore by Trish, the water spirit. Sharon arrives on shore, having survived the mosquitos by taking an antidote. Star recognizes that Sharon's hostility is born from her bullied childhood, and having never experienced true friendship (with the exception of a girl who befriended her only to be immediately eaten by an alligator). She offers to be Sharon's friend, as do the other residents, melting Sharon's icy facade. The town celebrates. Barb and Star ride the banana ride.

While he is gone, there's an emergency at the power plant (don't know what it is), and because of his absence during this emergency he receives a temporary suspension from Kumaran for "dereliction of duty" (pp. 79–80). Kali protests the suspension, to no avail, and so he goes off, gets drunk and ends up passing out on the street, where a truck rolls over his arm. He is taken to the hospital where his arm is amputated, at Kumaran's expense (financially). Because of the amputation, Kali can't keep working at the power plant and is laid off, with Kumaran bringing him the bad news. This leads Kali to develop a bitter resentment of Kumaran. Mr rnddude (talk) 11:48, 31 August 2019 (UTC) :I have another broad comment about the plot section: It focuses too heavily on short sentences, and lacks certain flow. I'll address that a bit later, I must leave now. Mr rnddude (talk) 08:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC) ::''Comment by Fowler&fowler'': Sorry to butt in. I managed to find the movie with the English subtitles. Have watched about half an hour. After Kalli and his sister are orphaned, they become street performers (acrobats) managed by an older boy who exploits them. They are homeless, take to begging, and to sleeping on the street. What Kalli has are anger issues, unresolved anger towards authority figures, especially unsympathetic ones. He's neither self-aggrandizing nor hell raising, mostly just unable to control his anger when he sees injustice. There are several early examples of his behaviour in which he either beats up people or damages their property. For his job, he operates an inclined elevator, a box car on tracks, which is winched down a hill many miles to a power house, and then winched back up again, carrying the employees. Manga and her mother are not wanderers, but residents of a drought-stricken nearby town, who have arrived in Kalli's village looking for work. The problem between Kumaran, the new divisional engineer at the power house, and Kalli have little to do with differing "work ethics." Kumaran is on the whole sympathetic to Kalli's erratic behaviour, cutting him slack, ignoring the gossip mongers, attempting to independently verify the events. ... And so it goes. ... Writing is a compact between an author and the reader. We expect the author to be faithful to the version of reality they have encountered.

Mr rnddude (talk) 00:03, 4 September 2019 (UTC) :::Congratulations on writing such a relevant critique. Congratulations also on the lame sarcasm. Did you view the movie? The clear answer is: no. Did the nominator view the movie? The clear answer is: not any time recently. Can you read what the edit summary says for the quick notes I made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mullum_Malarum&oldid=913627982#Plot when I finished watching the movie]? It says, "(stopping; authors can decide what to keep and what to not, in keeping with lit-crit & film-crit guidelines Best regards)" What does that tell you? It means I was giving you the factual events as they unfolded in the movie. Can I refresh your memory with doozies you were lobbing back and forth before I appeared? Doozy1: "a poor wanderer, Manga, and her aged mother arrive in the village, Valli helps them set up a home" (Not a wanderer, just mother and daughter escaping the drought. Was the mother "aged?" Not any more aged than any 22 year old woman's mother is. I listened to movie carefully enough to figure out the name of the town they had come from and to give you the WP link (Ilaiyangudi) for it. It turns out really is a drought-prone area. (Here was my original version: "On the Chinnamanur canal's bank, where she is cleaning a fish she has just caught, Valli meets a young woman, Manga, and her mother, who have arrived from Ilaiyangudi, a drought-stricken town. Both strangers are hungry, and the mother is looking for work. Valli feeds them, gives them shelter in the balcony of the thatched cottage she shares with Kali, talks to Kali about allowing them the use of the vacant house next door, and hints at the mother's suitability for a job that has opened up. Kali at first feigns impatience with his sister at taking in strangers, but soon relents.") That was before I was told I had to reduce it by 300 words. Doozy2: "including allowing people to ride the winch" (How were they doing that? Spinning around on the drum? And when I told you what they were riding after watching the first half hour, you responded by playing wiseguy with me. At least the others thanked me. Really you knew everything all along? Well, why didn't you change it in over a week? Why did I have to find all the links: first inclined elevator, then after wondering if it might not be rack rail—I had to examine the wheels carefully in the movie to figure out that it was a converted brake van which was being used as a cable railway. I even went on the internet to find the site in Ooty (perhaps) where such a system might exist. And, you can't google "roving eye," which means "a tendency to flirt or be constantly looking to start a new sexual relationship" and change it to something encyclopedic? Roving eye might not be encyclopedic but it is more accurate than "philandering grocer" which was in place earlier, (to philander means to engage in casual sexual or romantic encounters) It is not clear that Murgesa, the grocer, did anything beyond making attempts. And I did not mean"bash" I meant "batter," because he did it repeatedly. And what the heck is your next remark about? She ''is'' unrepentent. Not in the sense of not repenting for her sins, but in the sense of unapologetic. What do you think I meant? Here is Webster's: "unrepentent: 2. feeling or showing no inclination to change : UNAPOLOGETIC" Unlike Valli, that is, who was sobbing, and saying sorry between sobs, Manga was resolutely unrepentent. "Last warning" were words spoken in English in the movie. Clearly, they meant "final warning," "very last warning." It is not like the expression is not used. Check Google. If you don't like it, change it. And really "suspended for ten days?" You think it ever means [https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=%22he+was+suspended+for+10+days%22 hang for ten days]?

In your "resolved" Filming section, you must have divined that a participant in the sport of Uriyadi is not really blindfolded. For, in the movie, none were. Also "earthen pot" is the same as a "bag of rice," for what they were striking in the sport (not game) of Uriyadi in the movie did not look anything like a pot. You must have also divined that "marine" environment in that same section ("Mahendran also decided to characterise Manga as a "meen paithiyam" (meaning a "foodie who loves fish") after being inspired by Sringeri's marine environment.") is the same as "riverine" because that town is nowhere near the ocean. Not to mention divining that Mahendran is talking through his hat because Manga just loved to eat fish she could catch in the Chinnamanur canal, in her humble village of Athipatti, whereas "foodie" means "a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads," not to mention also divining that the word "foodie" was first used in 1980 and the movie was made in 1978. Best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 04:05, 4 September 2019 (UTC) :::::When I re-watched the film, I saw that the "Uriyadi" participant was neither blindfolded nor smashing a pot. However, in his memoir, Mahi still called those two scenes in the film as Uriyadi scenes. Or maybe with time the rules have changed. What do I do?! Remove the footnote or rewrite? But Uriyadi sadly does not have its own article (Nope, this ain't it). [https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/flashbacks-of-a-director/article5459812.ece In this 2013 interview] Mahi said, "I always observe things happening around at the shooting location and try to incorporate them in my film. For the Rajnikanth starrer ''Mullum Malarum'', which we shot at Sringeri in Karnataka, I decided on the characterisation of Fatapat Jayalakshmi( she plays Manga, Rajnikanth’s wife in the film). She is a foodie who loves fish. This came to me after I observed how there were water bodies and fish everywhere on the location! The song ‘Nitham Nitham Nellu Choru’ enhanced her character."

::::PS I am only now becoming aware of what has been happening here. As I say above, neither the nominator nor Mr rnddude had seen the movie at the time I first interacted with them (though the nominator did last weekend). When I first read the lead of this article, and glanced at some of the earlier discussion, I was perplexed by the constant references to people riding "the winch" at a power plant, and also the high frequency of expressions such as "self-aggrandizing ways," "doting on his sister," "poor itinerant ... and her aged mother." I asked repeatedly how it was possible for anyone to ride a winch. The nominator eventually replied to me in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Mullum_Malarum/archive4&diff=910339480&oldid=910316989 this post], with an example of a winch on YouTube, which was nothing but a cable-car (''i.e.'' enclosed snow-lift) of the type seen at ski resorts . At first I thought that perhaps in Indian English the word "winch" has that alternative meaning. But an extensive search in the OED and other sources turned up no reference to such usage. (What such a "winch" might be doing at a power plant is another story.) The nominator had also given me links to two sources from which everyone, it seems in retrospect, had been getting their information about the movie. The better of the two sources, though not exactly scholarly, is a biography of a Tamil movie star, Ranjikanth, by N Ramachandran. At that time I didn't bother with looking at those links. This morning I did. Ramachandran erroneously says, "Rajnikanth plays Kaali who is in charge of operating a trolley to a power plant across the hills." This very likely explains how the YouTube link with the ski-resort type cable car turned up in the post. A few days ago, I rented the movie (with English subtitles) on YouTube. It turns out Kaali operates a winch whose cable is connected to a trolley, in reality a makeshift/converted brake van, or caboose, on rails (see cable railway). The winch is on a hilltop. Obviously such a system, exploiting the force of gravity, can only take the trolley down to the bottom of the valley it overlooks and back up again. The trolley can't travel across hills. Ramchandran's book also has "self-aggrandizing" (being used somewhat erroneously), "doting on his sister," (also somewhat erroneously) and "poor itinerant" (quite erroneously). The second source does use the expression "riding the winch," obviously erroneously. The nominator said in the same post that the source was copied from Wikipedia. So who knows where "riding the winch" originated. But, in any case, that explains how people had come to ride winches across the hills at the time I first laid eyes on this article in July. The other, more serious, problem I seem to be realizing this morning, is that the article might not have the critical mass of reliable sources required for an FA. (I am not sure about this yet, but this is my working hypothesis this morning.) Thus far I have seen only one source, [https://frontline.thehindu.com/arts-and-culture/cinema/article26919229.ece an obituary of the director], who died this past April, written by a well-known film critic. I will examine the remaining sources, and post here again, but this is what I have found this morning. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 16:50, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

The film takes place in Cohasset, Massachusetts and chronicles the exploits of 17-year-old Collin Mason. Mason is a vlogger who goes on to record himself murdering three of his classmates, before uploading the footage to the internet using BitTorrent.

Geppetto, a poor Italian carpenter, decides to build a wooden puppet to tour the country and earn him a living. He names it 'Pinocchio' and—when the puppet becomes sentient—calls it his son. A Talking Cricket tries to help Pinocchio by giving him advice, but Pinocchio disregards it and burns his feet off in an accident. Geppetto promises him new feet, on the condition that Pinocchio goes to school.

Pinocchio sets off to school but is distracted by the puppet theatre. In the theater, he joins the other puppets and messes up the show. Furious that his production went upstream, Mangiafuoco locks Pinocchio in his caravan and leaves town. Pinocchio begs to return to his father, and Mangiafuoco lets him go, choosing to burn another puppet for firewood in his place. Pinocchio is upset by this and chooses to take the puppet's place. Surprised, Mangiafuoco releases Pinocchio and gives him five gold coins to give to Geppetto.

On his way home, Pinocchio meets a fox and a cat pretending to be disabled. Attracted by the coins, they suggest that Pinocchio should try to sow them so they will sprout into a tree of money in the Field of Miracles, located in the Land of the Barn Owl. The Cat and the Fox trick him and disguise themselves as hooded assassins; Pinocchio hides the coins and attempts to flee but is caught and hung from a tree. He is rescued by a blue-haired fairy, who asks him why he was not at home or in school. Embarrassed, Pinocchio lies, and his nose becomes bigger with each lie until the Fairy is forced to shorten his nose.

Having learned his lesson, Pinocchio returns home, only to meet the Fox and the Cat a second time. Seeing that their plan failed, they convince him to go to the Field of Miracles again. Upon arriving, he plants the coins, which the Fox and the Cat steal. Discovering the theft, Pinocchio reports it to the gorilla judge. Since justice does not favor the innocent in Barn Owl, he is sentenced to life. Pinocchio manages to get exonerated by saying that he committed a crime before, making him guilty, and thus he is released.

Pinocchio returns home but discovers that Geppetto has left to look for him overseas in North America. Pinocchio dives into the sea to find him but gets shipwrecked on the Island of the Busy Bees. He is saved by the Blue Fairy, who promises to turn him into a real boy if he studies and behaves.

Pinocchio goes to school and becomes the most studious boy in his class. During his time there however, he befriends Lucignolo, a disobedient boy who invites him to come to his party in the Land of Toys, where children can have fun all day long without schools or adults. After a long day in the Land of Toys, Pinocchio wakes up with donkey ears and finds Lucignolo has the same problem—they are turning into donkeys. The Coachman sells them, and Pinocchio is sold to a circus. One day, Pinocchio notices the Fairy in the audience, trips, and cripples himself. The director decides to drown him and use his skin for a drum. In the sea, the Fairy summons fishes that nibble away Pinocchio's donkey skin, bringing him back to normal.

Pinocchio swims in search for his father and is swallowed by the Terrible Dogfish, a gigantic ravenous sea monster. He finds Geppetto, alive inside the monster. Taking advantage of the Dogfish's asthma, which forces him to sleep with his mouth open, the two flee from his mouth and reach the shore.

They find an abandoned house to rest in. To heal his father, who has gotten sick from the trip, Pinocchio is hired by a farmer to earn milk. Pinocchio continues to work and study and help Geppetto while he recovers. The Fairy then grants Pinocchio his wish. He returns home and shows Geppetto that he has become a real boy.

A daughter tries to process the slow death of her parents through dementia.

Vanessa is watching her ex husband's new fiancée. She lives with her aunt in New York City and is working at a clothing store to get by after her divorce from Richard. Nellie is Richard's new fiancée, a pre-school teacher. We learn that Vanessa and Nellie are the same person (Vanessa being her present self, and Nellie being her past self). It was Richard's idea to give Vanessa the nickname Nellie, because when they first met, she was a "nervous nellie."

Part two starts with what happened between Vanessa and Richard. Richard started gas-lighting and abusing Vanessa, cutting her off from friends and family. It becomes worse after they are unable to have children, which both believe is due to an abortion she had in college which she did not tell him about, partially due to the father being one of her professors, who was married. She starts seeing a therapist, who points out that Vanessa needs to leave. However, Vanessa knows Richard will not let her go and that he needs to decide to divorce her himself. She sets Richard up with his assistant, Emma, and the two begin an affair. Vanessa is finally free of her abusive marriage only to find out that Richard intends to marry Emma. To save her, Vanessa tells Emma Richard's reality but Emma does not believe her. Emma tells Richard, who confronts Vanessa. Vanessa tells Emma the first signs she saw of him controlling her. Emma then realizes she is being manipulated by Richard and agrees to leave him.

Vanessa visits Richard and threatens to reveal everything, provoking Richard into strangling her before Emma and Richard's sister, Maureen, intervene. Flash-forward, Richard is in a psych ward. Vanessa visits him only to find Maureen there; she seems to think there is something going on between the two. Vanessa tells her therapist she can finally move on. It is revealed that Vanessa's therapist is Richard's other ex wife, who he threw down a flight of stairs. It is also revealed that Emma is the daughter of the professor Vanessa had an affair with, and her parents' marriage ended after her mother found out. All three women are connected by their experiences.

A man missing for 13 years returns to his village to find his past girlfriend.

Paola Miranda, the First Lady of Mexico, is in an unhappy marriage to Carlos, the President. At the outset of the show, she discovers that she is adopted and has a twin sister; though she resents the twin she believes made their mother disown her, Paola sees an opportunity to escape her life, and seeks her out. Paola plots to pull a Prince and the Pauper switch with her newfound twin, Paulina Doria, to stand in as First Lady on Independence Day, and then kill her. With her identity (and the twin she despises) dead, Paola could run away with her lover Gonzalo.

Paulina is based in the capital of Colombia, Bogotá, running an orphanage and tending to her aging mother, Olga. She is mysteriously offered large donations from a Mexican benefactor to trick her into traveling there. She is kidnapped by Paola, who threatens to murder Olga to blackmail Paulina into assuming her identity for two weeks. Paulina accepts the role and becomes the "usurpadora", moving into Los Pinos, the presidential palace.

During the Independence celebrations, Paulina is shot. However, not only does she live, but the National Intelligence Center opens an investigation into the shooting, thinking that the President was the real target. The President himself also hires a private detective, the former agent Facundo Nava, to investigate. Paola has already run away with Gonzalo to Bora Bora; she is still not satisfied and kills him there, returning to Mexico City to cover her tracks.

Meanwhile, Paulina takes to her new role, finding her new public standing the perfect opportunity to engage in social activism. Paola is unimpressed with the total usurpation of her life by the twin she hates, and tries to kill her again using a friend of Gonzalo's, Manuel, who has professed he would kill for her. Facundo is almost hit in the attempt, and begins working directly with Paulina to find the new attacker. Paulina returns to Colombia to make sure that her mother is still alive, trusting Facundo to find out everything. Paola tries to return to her role and, since the two weeks are over, asks for Paulina to give up the life she has grown to love.

Paulina is not willing to sacrifice her position of social influence for charity and begins her own scheme: acting crazy to get committed, and using the real story to receive a diagnosis of multiple personality disorder. Paola tries once more to kill her, but instead is mistakenly attacked by Manuel's sister, Teresa, who was supposed to be helping her. Facundo breaks Paulina out of the hospital and takes her to the countryside; Paola is taken to Colombia after being misidentified as her sister after the attack, with her confusion ruled as post-traumatic stress.

Olga realizes who Paola really is at the same time that Paulina is returned to Los Pinos by Facundo saying she is cured. Paulina convinces Carlos that she isn't crazy and has him travel to Colombia with her to meet Olga. Paola, Paulina, and Olga come to an agreement whereby the twins will continue swapping lives for a little longer, so that Olga has some time to get to know Paola.

''Leopoldstadt'' frames the narrative of a Jewish family in Vienna over a period of some 50 years. The main set is the drawing room of a wealthy family. There are five acts occurring in the years 1899, 1900, 1924, 1938 and 1955.

• 1899: the family gathers for Christmas, discussing ideas ranging from Zionism to Jewish and Viennese arts and culture. They have integrated well with Viennese society, and enjoy their rights and civil liberties. Hanna asks Gretl to chaperone her on a date with a non-Jewish cavalry officer, Fritz. Hermann’s nephew, Pauli, expresses an interest in becoming a soldier.
• 1900: Gretl and Fritz strike up an affair, which Gretl eventually ends. Hermann gains knowledge of this, but ultimately dismisses her infidelity. The family gather for Passover Seder, celebrating the birth of Hermann’s niece, Nellie.
• 1924: Hermann and Gretl have a son, Jacob, who alongside Pauli, fought in WWI. Pauli was killed in battle, whereas Jacob survived but had his arm amputated. The family gather for a circumcision. This act explores the impacts of WWI and the rise of Bolshevism. Fearing for the worst, Hermann meets with a banker to discuss transferring the family business to Jacob.
• 1938: the year of Anschluss. The family are gathered, with the company of a British journalist who is engaged to one of the girls in the family. The family discuss escape plans, including visas to England. The Nazis enter the property, harassing the family and seizing their belongings. The family's home is requisitioned by the Nazis and the family must leave to be transported the following day. Hermann is forced to sign the family business away to the Nazis, but Jacob retains legal ownership. It is revealed that Jacob is the legal son of Gretl and Fritz; Hermann planned and acknowledged the affair so that Jacob would not face antisemitism since he was legally recorded as a gentile.
• 1955: the survivors of the Holocaust gather in the family home. Only 3 family members survived: Leo, who successfully gained a British visa and assimilated into British culture; Rosa, who moved to New York prior to the Holocaust; and Nathan, who survived Auschwitz. Leo has no memory of his life in Vienna as a Jew; the family painfully recollect their memories, and acknowledge their murdered family members.

The film takes place during the war. In the center of the plot is a guy named Anton, who is captured. He manages to escape and hide in the house of an organist. American troops are entering the city, and Anton cannot leave the city because of the ban. His beloved Oksana from the Ukrainian village is still waiting for him.

Mila, Hanna and Kati - all 14 years old - are best friends and would do everything for each other. Together, they set up their music teacher with their German teacher in order to improve Mila's grades. Regarding their own lives, the girl are confused about love: At first, Kati adores “Sandwich”-Tobi (a nickname the girls got him because you always find him eating a sandwich), but since he does not seem to notice her like she would want him to, Kati falls in love with her cousin Florian. Hanna has a crush as well and starts dating Branko, who is a few years older than the girls. Only Mila's love life doesn't seem to exist, until she meets trainee teacher Pit Winter, the stand-in for her pregnant German teacher.

Mila even anonymously writes a love poem for him but when she finds out that her mother suddenly has a dinner date with Pit, Mila’s love-life takes a turn to the worse. Pit Winter reads the poem and somehow knows that Mila was the one who wrote it. The only aspect he focuses on are the errors Mila made due to her dyslexia. For Kati and Hanna, things do not go well anymore either. Florian fell in love with his piano teacher and therefore breaks up with Kati shortly before her birthday party. Branko and Hanna are squabbling with each other because Mila and Hanna have applied for a casting show Hanna keeps participating at although Branko feels ashamed about her being part of it. But there is someone else Hanna has met at the casting...

The three girls are alone again and are busy with problems like Vanessa, the ‘Drama Queen’, ‘Porn-Kiwi’(a nickname he was given by the girls, because he constantly watches porn) or the annoying Maths teacher. Marcus, whom Mila sees as a macho slowly sneaks into her life.

Brian, a new student from Hamburg causes trouble between the girls: Kati immediately falls in love with him and demands that no one else should get too close to him. When Mila rewrites a poem for Brian who turns it into a song, an icy mood comes up between Kati and Mila. During a school trip to a planetarium, somebody kissed Mila in the dark which lead her to the conclusion that Brian could possibly like her instead of Kati. In addition, someone called Pegasus sends Mila romantic messages and translates a song text for her - all signs point to Brian being her admire, don't they?

When Mila’s mother announces her pregnancy and that Pit Winter is the father of the baby, Mila’s drama is complete. She runs away in anger and sleeps at a suspension railway station. The next morning, Markus shows up at the station and takes her to his father’s riding school. When Mila sees a picture of a class-trip, where everybody gathered around a statue of Pegasus and next to it a picture of herself with Markus, she realizes that Markus must be Pegasus. Overwhelmed by this discovery, she walks back home. At home, her mother is very happy and relieved to see Mila, and she tells her that the pregnancy test showed a wrong result – She is not pregnant. She adds that Pit Winter would not have wanted a child with her anyway and wishes for Mila to find a nice boy, who appreciates her, for who she is. This moment is an eye-opener for Mila. Together with her mother, she drives back to the riding school. She finds Markus on top of a hill he had shown her before, as it has a special meaning to him, and kisses him.

Not just Mila but everybody gets their happy end: Sure, Kati had a crush on Brian but after seeing that he is madly in love with mean girl Vanessa, she leaves his concert in a sad mood. On her way home, Kati gets attacked by a drunk guy in a tunnel. Luckily, Tobi is nearby to defend her and “knocks” him to the ground. Kati being Kati, without a second thought, instantly falls madly in love with Tobi all over again. In the meantime, Hanna is in Munich for the casting show and made it to the quarterfinals. Shortly before her next performance, her talisman – a heart – starts to glow. The talisman was a gift from Branko. He himself has a second heart and they both start to glow if the other heart is nearby. Finally, Hanna and Branko find each other and they get together again after Hanna was eliminated from the show during the quarterfinals.

The novel takes place in Rome, where Donna Olimpia, the amoral mistress of Pope Innocent X, tries to gain power over Antonio Barbarino (the cardinal of the novel's title). She seizes her chance when Antonio admits to lusting after Melora, the French Ambassador's daughter. Olimpia makes friends with Melora, and tells her romantic stories designed to persuade the inexperienced younger woman to fall for Antonio's seduction. Olimpio narrates the first story, 'the History of Alphonsus and Cordelia', which tricks Melora into believing that Antonio is in fact Alphonsus, the heir to the Duke of Ferrara. Francisco (a favourite of Antonio) narrates the second story, 'the History of Emilius and Lovisa', which persuades Melora that true lovers can triumph over all odds (including their public duties and even parental opposition) in order to be together.

As a result of Olimpia's deception, the naive Melora is tricked into secretly 'marrying' Antonio (she does not realise that this marriage is actually non-legal). After some months, Antonio grows tired of Melora and decides to murder her. She is given poison and dies, despite the efforts of Francisco (who now repents his role in her seduction) to save her in time.

Can Gi Moo-hyeok and Ha So-hyeon solve the murder case and exonerate Kim Han-soo?

Bjarne Mädel plays the crime scene cleaner Heiko "Schotty" Schotte. He works as a facility cleaner (specialized on crime scenes) whose job it is to remove the last traces of the living, in and around Hamburg. It is not a crime thriller nor detective story,Rauscher, Frank. "TV Reportage: Zeit für einen neuen Helden". In:Monsters and Critics. 5 January (Archived: 6 January 2014) 2012.

The main focus is laid on scenes which mirror the style of a chamber play. Those scenes are garnished with situational humour, which results from Schotty's interaction with the spouses, acquaintances of the victim or in one case even with the ghost of the one victim. In multiple episodes Schotty's deep connection to the soccer team SV Hamburg is either briefly mentioned, or partially becomes the in-depth subject of the conversation.

In December 2022, biology teacher and former Green Beret Dan Forester is disappointed after failing to get a job at the Army Research Laboratory. Later, during the internationally televised World Cup, soldiers from the year 2051 arrive on the pitch via a time portal. They announce that in November 2048, aliens called Whitespikes suddenly appeared in northern Russia and had wiped out most humans within three years.

In response, the world's present-day militaries are sent into the future through a wormhole device called the "Jumplink", but fewer than 30% survive their seven-day deployment, prompting an international draft.

Dan receives a draft notice and is fitted with a temporal armband to track him and pull him back if he's alive at the end of his seven days. His wife, Emmy, wants them and their daughter, Muri, to go on the run. Dan reluctantly visits his estranged father, James, a mechanical engineer, to help remove Dan's draft armband.

James had abandoned Dan and his mother after returning from the Vietnam War, believing himself too dangerously unstable to remain with them. Fearing that removing the armband could cause retaliation against his family, Dan reports for basic training.

As draftees are briefed by the future soldiers, Dan and fellow draftee Charlie, a scientist, notice most recruits are old. They surmise that draftees are probably chosen because they will die sometime before the future war starts, thus preventing a paradox.

The draftees are sent forward in time to a battlefield on Miami Beach, although few survive the initial drop due to a malfunction causing them to appear high above the ground in a different spot than planned. With the city already lost, their commander orders the draftees to rescue nearby lab personnel before sterilizing the area. The draftees find that all the lab personnel are dead, but recover their research. Only Dan, Charlie, and battle-hardened draftee Dorian (on his 3rd deployment) survive the Whitespikes and the bombing.

Dan awakens in a military encampment in the Dominican Republic. He meets his commander, Colonel Muri Forester, Dan's now-adult daughter. Muri tells Dan there is a toxin that kills the male Whitespikes but not the female queens, who are rarer and more dangerous. Muri wants Dan's help in capturing a female Whitespike to formulate a toxin fatal to the queens.

They trap a female, but hundreds of males descend on their position. As a helicopter transports the female, Dan and Muri escape to a beach where they shoot a flare for rescue. Dan asks Muri about what happened to him in the past timeline. Muri says he became disillusioned after failing to get the research center job, eventually divorcing Emmy and then dying in a car crash several years later when Muri was sixteen.

Dan, Muri, and the female Whitespike are transported to a fortified offshore oil platform where the Jumplink is located. After many tests and iterations, Muri develops a toxin that kills female Whitespikes, but it cannot be mass-produced in that time period. She tells Dan to take it into the past to produce it there, preventing the war. Whitespikes swarm the base and, while attempting to escape together, Muri sacrifices herself to return Dan to the past. The Jumplink is destroyed shortly after Dan's return, which the world interprets as a sign that the future war is lost.

Dan and Emmy later deduce that the Whitespikes arrived on Earth much earlier than 2048 because whatever brought them to Earth was never found. After finding volcanic ash on an alien's spike, Dan and Charlie consult with Dan's student, Martin, an amateur volcanologist. It is determined that the Whitespikes have likely been on Earth at least since the "Millennium Eruption" in 946 AD, and that global warming melting the polar ice caps allowed them to emerge from beneath the surface.

As global chaos erupts and after the U.S. Defense Secretary dismisses their theory, Dan leads a mission to Russia with James, Charlie, Dorian, and stranded future soldiers. A crashed alien ship is found buried beneath a glacier. Inside the ship, the team discovers that other alien beings killed in the crash brought the Whitespikes, possibly as bioweapons to cleanse planets of life, although Earth might not have been the target. They inject the toxin into several dormant Whitespikes, destroying them, but that action awakens the rest of the colony. The queen Whitespike hatches and kills most of the team members before escaping. Dorian, terminally ill with cancer, stays behind and blows up the ship while Dan and James pursue the queen. After a fierce fight, Dan shoves the lethal toxin down the queen's throat, killing her. Only Dan, James, and Charlie survive.

Content knowing that the war is averted and humanity is saved, Dan brings James home to meet Emmy and Muri, and is determined to avoid the same mistakes that the future Muri warned him about.

Because an oracle predicted that her son Orsames would one day become a tyrant, the Queen of Dacia has him imprisoned and brought up in almost total isolation from the world. In contrast, her daughter Cleomena has been brought up as a warrior princess, ready to rule over Dacia in her brother's place.

As a test, Orsames is taken out of his prison and allowed to rule for a day. He tries to rape a woman, orders his tutor to be executed, and in general acts like a tyrant.

After Sir Francis leaves, Miranda and Sir George have a witty conversation about love and marriage.

Act 2

'''Scene 1.''' At Sir Francis Gripe's house, Sir Francis and Miranda, his ward, discuss the arrangement with Sir George. Miranda pretends to have contempt for Sir George, and says she will marry Sir Francis tomorrow if only he will give her control of her estate. Sir Francis says he will settle the estate on her after their wedding. Miranda tells Sir Francis her plan for Sir George's visit: she will refuse to speak to him, no matter what he says. Sir Francis is delighted, believing that Miranda is slighting Sir George out of loyalty to him. In reality, she wishes to sound out Sir George, and conceal that she is his 'incognita'.

Charles enters, and begs Sir Francis for money. Miranda leaves, and Sir Francis berates his son for his extravagance. Charles denies he is a spendthrift, observing that his miserly father doesn't give him any money to waste.

Charles leaves, and Marplot runs off to try and follow him.

Sir George enters, then Miranda. The famous 'dumb scene' ensues. Sir George tries to address Miranda, but she refuses to speak.

Miranda leaves, and Sir Francis laughs at Sir George for thinking that Miranda would be interested in him.

'''Scene 2.''' At Sir Jealous Traffick's house, Sir Jealous is berating his daughter Isabinda for standing out on the balcony.

Isabinda puts up a spirited defence of English customs.

Sir Jealous and Isabinda leave, and Whisper enters. Whisper is the servant of Charles, Isabinda's secret lover, and tells Patch that Charles is on the way to meet Isabinda secretly. Sir Jealous re-enters, and Whisper tries to cover by claiming he has entered the house in search of a lap-dog.

'''Scene 3.''' At Charles's lodging, Marplot gives Charles the £100. Charles promises to pay him back, as Sir George enters, greatly disappointed by his conversation with Miranda.

Isabinda and Patch wonder who it was that betrayed Charles's presence in the house.

'''Scene 4.''' Sir Francis and Miranda laugh about the 'dumb scene' with Sir George. Marplot enters, and criticises Sir Francis for duping Sir George, whom he describes as his 'friend'. Miranda sees an opening. She tells Sir Francis that Sir George has been loitering by the garden gate, hoping to see her, and instructs Marplot to tell Sir George that she is devoted to Sir Francis, and will have the men fire on Sir George if he is ever seen at the garden gate again. In an aside, she reveals her true motives: Sir George has in fact never loitered by the gate, but she hopes he will take the hint and come to her. Sir Francis is convinced by Miranda's act. Believing she will marry him tomorrow, he agrees to sign a document giving his consent for her to marry, thus freeing her from the conditions of her father's will.

'''Scene 5.''' In a tavern, Sir George and Charles bewail their complicated love lives. Marplot enters with Miranda's message. Catching on, Sir George decides to go to the garden-gate tonight. Marplot suspects something, and decides to secretly follow him there.

Whisper leaves, and as Patch re-enters the house she accidentally drops the letter. Sir Jealous arrives, happy with the news that Seignior Diego Babinetto has arrived in London to marry Isabinda. He is less happy when he finds the letter Patch has dropped, and storms inside.

'''Scene 2.''' Inside, Patch and Isabinda confer, and Patch realises she has dropped the letter. Sir Jealous enters in a rage, accusing Isabinda of keeping up a secret correspondence, and demanding that she decipher the strange code. But Patch pretends the letter is actually a 'charm for the toothache' that she bought from a local wise woman. Isabinda desperately plays for time, knowing that Charles will arrive any minute. She takes the opportunity of the letter to berate her father for suspecting her. He tells her the Seignior has arrived and will wed her tomorrow. She plays a tune on the spinet, while Charles enters the house through the balcony and opens the door from Isabinda's room. Seeing Sir Jealous is there, he retreats, but not before Sir Jealous sees him. Seeing the truth, he dismisses Patch from her post, and tells Isabinda he will move her into the back of the house, where there is no balcony.

'''Scene 3.''' Outside, Sir Jealous sends Patch away. He goes back inside, and Charles enters. He comforts Patch, saying he will look after her now she has been fired, and they hatch a plan together: Charles will impersonate Seignior Diego Babinetto, and marry Isabinda in his stead tomorrow.

Marplot lifts the chimney-board, and discovers Sir George. Marplot tells him to flee through a certain door, and to smash some china on the way out.

The movie revolves around the story of a police officer named Stephen whose life got upside down due to a custodial death case

The player is Juno Markev, a former space pirate of the DoubleJacks gang and the aunt of the player character in ''Rebel Galaxy''. Ten years before the events of ''Rebel Galaxy'', Juno retired from the DoubleJacks after marrying her husband, Brace, and settled into the quiet life of a law-abiding citizen in the backwater Dodge Sector. When she receives word from Brace's friend Connor McCarthy that Brace was murdered on a trading run by a man named Ruthless, Juno hunts him down in the Texas system, but bungles her attempt to kill him and is shot down. Broke and without a ship, Juno asks for a favor from her old contact Orzu, who lets her have an obsolete garbage scow to get back on her feet in return for delivering a stolen weapons system to him. Orzu then directs Juno to the android mercenary Satchel, who knows how to find Ruthless.

While waiting for Satchel to find a lead, Juno is roped into rejoining the DoubleJacks by her friend Marla in order to break Ansel, the gang's original leader, out of prison and get rid of his disliked successor. After this interlude, Satchel returns with word of Ruthless's location. When Juno finally confronts Ruthless, he is adamant that he had nothing to do with Brace's death and suggests Connor was playing an angle. The two cooperate to locate Connor and force him to divulge the truth: Brace is still alive, and he bribed Connor to lie about his death. Brace eventually contacts Juno himself and reveals that he carried out the scheme at the behest of Juno's mother, Tatiana Markev.

Meanwhile, Juno has also been coerced into helping CEO Xander Brust of Brust Arms, the company that she stole Orzu's weapons system from, investigate the disappearance of several shipping convoys. A battlecruiser equipped with a superweapon is found to be the culprit, and Juno later captures a pilot who connects the superweapon to Tatiana. When Juno and Tatiana reunite, the latter explains that she has been assembling a burgeoning criminal empire as a gift to Juno; Tatiana had hoped Brace's false death would shake Juno out of her complacency and prepare her to run the empire. Juno angrily rejects her mother's plans, but is soon arrested by the Dodge Sector Police for her part in Ansel's escape. To regain her freedom, Juno must choose between helping the police capture Tatiana, or warning Tatiana and helping her pirate armada, the Red Devils, wipe out the police fleet. In both outcomes, Brace subsequently reaches out to Juno again and asks to meet back in the Texas system, where Juno can decide whether to stay with him or leave him for good.

In 5000 BC, ten superpowered Eternals—Ajak, Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Gilgamesh, and Thena—are sent by the Celestial Arishem to Earth on their starship, the ''Domo'', to exterminate the invasive Deviants. The last Deviants are apparently killed in 1521, when the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. Over the next five hundred years they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders.

In the present day, Sersi and Sprite live together in London. After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human Dane Whitman who works at the Natural History Museum. When the trio are attacked by the Deviant Kro, Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with Arishem.

Sersi learns that the mission of the Eternals was actually to prepare Earth for the Emergence. Arishem explains that, for millions of years, he has been planting the seeds of Celestials inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the apex predators of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but when the Deviants evolved and began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to counter them. With the reversal of the Blip, Earth has reached the necessary population for the birth of the Celestial Tiamut, which will result in Earth's destruction.

Hoping to delay the Emergence, the Eternals reconvene. At Druig's residence in the Amazon rainforest, they are attacked by the Deviants. They kill them all except for Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos proposes the Uni-Mind, a connection between all the Eternals that would give Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his mind-control powers. However, Ikaris reveals that Ajak told him of the Emergence centuries before. When Ajak told him she wishes to stop the Emergence, he led her to the Deviants who killed her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo chooses to leave.

Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an active volcano in the Indian Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite, and Phastos restrains Ikaris. Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is unable to put Tiamut to sleep and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into marble. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but finds himself unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others in the Uni-Mind and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into marble. Guilt-ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. At Sprite's request, Sersi uses the remaining energy from the Uni-Mind to turn Sprite into a human, ending her permanent childlike state. Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the ''Domo'' to find Eternals on other planets and warn them of the Emergences while Sersi, Phastos, and Kingo remain on Earth.

Dane professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are lifted into space by Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. Vowing to return for judgment, he takes the trio with him into a singularity. In a mid-credits scene, Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal Eros, Thanos's brother, and his assistant Pip the Troll, who offer their help. In a post-credits scene, Dane opens a case containing the Ebony Blade and an unseen person questions whether he is ready for it.

Philip is indicted and goes to trial. John's case against the railroad is strong. At recess, Philip calls Louise for documents kept in his home safe. Her car breaks down on the way and she telegraphs that she will come on the train. Meanwhile, a railroad inspector discovers that the bridge her train will cross is in imminent danger of collapse. Philip races to catch the train but is too late. The bridge breaks apart and the train crashes into the water, its boiler exploding.

During a stampede. Wep-ton-no-mah saves Nellie Stockton's life, and is thus offered the job of mail carrier by Colonel Stockton.

Spanish Joe plots with Captain Franklin to kidnap Nellie, and marry her, but he is thwarted by Wep-ton-no-mah. Nellie has already professed that she is in love with him at this point, and jealousy makes Joe mad enough to plan to kill Wep-ton-no-mah. He shoots his gun, thinking it is aimed at Wep-ton-no-mah, but actually hits his father, Chief Ga-ne-gua, who dies in his stead. Wep-ton-no-mah swears vengeance on the man who killed his father, and Spanish Joe flees.

Several years later, Wep-ton-no-mah returns from chasing down bandits, and agrees - reluctantly - to finally take the job he was offered by Colonel Stockton. Around the same time, Spanish Joe returns, still planning to kill Wep-ton-no-mah. Before this however, he enters Colonel Stockton's house, disguised as another friend of Captain Franklin's, and attempts to steal some money from his desk. Wep-ton-no-mah stops him, but Spanish Joe is able to escape.

Wep-ton-no-mah has been given an important mail carrying assignment, and Spanish Joe's newest plan is to waylay him - taking advantage of Wep-ton-no-mah's trusting nature by poisoning his drink - steal the mail, and kill Wep-ton-no-mah. To begin with, this plan goes well. Wep-ton-no-mah is poisoned, and he gives the mail to his horse, Wongy, for safekeeping. Spanish Joe's accomplice has, however, switched sides, and so Garry and Sam (two of Colonel Stockton's servants) discover that Wep-ton-no-mah is in trouble and go to find him. Wongy fights off Spanish Joe who briefly runs away before he can be discovered, and Sam and Garry help Wep-ton-no-mah home. Later that evening, there is a final stand-off between Wep-ton-no-mah and Spanish Joe, featuring a fire on stage, multiple explosions and a knife fight at the end of which Spanish Joe is defeated.

The documentary uses genuine footage and audio recorded at the time of the accident on the divers' radios and body cameras, supplemented with interviews of several of the individuals involved, as well as some reconstructed footage, to tell the story of the accident.

Chris Lemons, along with his colleagues Duncan Allcock and David Yuasa, were carrying out repairs 100m below the surface of the North Sea, supported by the support vessel ''Bibby Topaz''. The vessel's dynamic positioning system, supplied by Kongsberg Maritime, failed. This caused the vessel to drift in rough seas, dragging the divers away from the area they were working and eventually snapping the umbilical tether that provided Lemons with heliox to breathe, as well as hot water to heat his suit, power for his light, and a communications link to the surface. He was left with only five minutes of breathable gas contained in the cylinders he wore on his back.

For reasons that are unclear to Lemons and his colleagues, but attributed in part to the cold water and having been breathing a gas mix with a high partial pressure of oxygen, Lemons survived for around 30 minutes while he was located by a remote underwater vehicle and then by Yuasa, who was able to pull him back onboard the diving bell.

''While the plot of ''The Last Duel'' is portrayed in three separate chapters, each telling the same story from the perspective of the three main characters, the following description summarizes all three presentations into a single thread.''

After serving in the Caroline War, French squires Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris swear allegiance to Count Pierre d'Alençon, who has been named Jean's overlord by King Charles VI. Jacques later tells Jean that Pierre has tasked him with collecting war levies, agreeing to ask for leniency on Jean's behalf when his brother-in-arms explains he lacks the funds.

To restore his finances, Jean marries Marguerite de Thibouville on the promise of a large dowry from Marguerite's father, Robert, that grants the rights to many valuable estates. Pierre, however, seizes the prized estate of Aunou-le-Faucon to settle Robert's back taxes and gifts it to Jacques, who has earned a court position by using his accounting knowledge to organize Pierre's finances. Jean takes the matter before King Charles, who dismisses the suit. Pierre retaliates by appointing Jacques to the captaincy of a Carrouges family post following the death of Jean's father.

Jean's marriage becomes strained due to Marguerite's failure to conceive. He and Jacques reconcile at a celebration, where Jacques becomes smitten with Marguerite after she befriends him in an attempt to win favor. Jacques misinterprets this as a reciprocation of his affections and suspects she does not love Jean.

Following a defeated military campaign in Scotland that sees him knighted for his efforts but still bankrupt, Jean sets off for Paris to collect his wages, leaving Marguerite to manage the estate in his absence. One day, Jean's mother takes all the servants to attend to legal business, leaving Marguerite alone. Jacques later visits and tricks his way into the chateau, haughtily proclaiming his love. When he ignores Marguerite's orders to leave, she attempts to flee from his advances, only for him to chase her to her room, and despite her protests, he rapes her before ordering her not to tell her husband.

Upon Jean's return, Marguerite tells him what happened; after violently questioning whether she is telling the truth, Jean becomes convinced that Jacques raped Marguerite to insult him specifically. Jean insists that Marguerite immediately have sex with him so that Jacques will not be "the last man that knew her."

Pierre informs Jacques that Jean is accusing him of raping Marguerite, which he denies. Despite the count's attempt to exert his authority, Jean appeals his case directly to King Charles and requests a duel to the death. Jacques accepts, having decided not to seek a favorable forum of a Catholic ecclesiastical court with clerical judges. Marguerite's friends abandon her, believing her to be lying to cover up an affair, while Jean's mother insists Marguerite drop her accusations and accept any consequences.

At Jacques' trial six months later, a now-pregnant Marguerite remains resolute that she is telling the truth, while the court implies that Jacques is the father of her child. Charles grants Jean's request for a duel to the death to determine the case. Marguerite is also informed that she will be burned alive for perjury if her husband loses. Marguerite confronts Jean for not telling her she would be burned alive if he fails. Marguerite gives birth to her son not long before the duel takes place.

The duel begins with Jean and Jacques jousting until both men lose their mounts and fight hand-to-hand. Jean is stabbed but eventually manages to pin down Jacques. He demands that Jacques confess or face damnation, but Jacques claims his innocence. Jean then kills him. Jean basks in the glory of his victory while Marguerite follows quietly behind. Meanwhile, Jacques' body is stripped, and hung upside down publicly.

A textual epilogue reveals Jean died fighting in the Crusades while Marguerite continued managing his estate, living in peace for the remainder of her life but never remarrying.
