Rich heir, disputes control of the company with his cousin and minority partner, André, who blackmails and swindles him.

Marina Oliveira (Dina Félix da Costa) and Augusto Oliveira (Filipe Vargas), also married for 20 years, have two teenage children: Catarina (Carolina Frias) and Nicolau (Bernardo Lobo Faria). In keeping with the family harmony that they both cherish, the couple have been trying to forget about their professional frustrations: Augusto is a contractor but would like to be a PJ inspector, as he had been before, and Marina wanted to be a ballroom dancer - where she had a future, above all, as a tango dancer - an activity she abandoned because of her children. She will still have a third child “out of time”, which will prevent her from starting over at a later age.

The two couples know each other and, initially against the wishes of Augusto, whom Gonçalo's wealth bothers, and Gonçalo, whom the intimacy between Raquel and Marina bothers, become inseparable friends. Raquel finds in Marina her missing friend, but Gonçalo will also find in her an overwhelming and corresponding passion.

Chloe tells her that he went to look for her, and Elle finds him in the park where they first kissed. Noah confesses to being embarrassed he wasn't doing as well at Harvard as he initially thought. He also wants a relationship with Chloe like Elle has with Lee. Elle and Noah reunite.

A few months later, Noah returns, and Elle, Lee, and Rachel graduate. Lee shares with Elle that he was accepted at Berkeley and asked if she received a response. She answers she was waitlisted at both Berkeley and Harvard. When Elle opens both envelopes in her room, it turns out she was accepted to both universities, forcing her to make a decision: go to Harvard with Noah or Berkeley with Lee.

In 1881, 18 months after his father's death, Louis Wain, the only male and eldest of the Wain family, becomes the primary breadwinner. He supports five sisters and his mother working part-time as an illustrator for ''The Illustrated London News'' under editor Sir William Ingram. Ingram offers him a full-time job, but Wain declines in order to try his hand at composing music and playwriting; which he hopes will support the family but neither venture is successful.

Louis hires Emily Richardson to be the new governess for his sisters. The two become instantly attracted to each other, much to the dismay of the eldest sister, Caroline. Louis decides to take the full time position in order to keep Emily as the governess. One night, Louis takes the family, and Emily to the theatre to see ''The Tempest'' as an educational trip. She comforts Louis in the men's restroom after he has a recurring nightmare about drowning during the performance, but inadvertently causes a scandal when nosy neighbor Mrs. DuFrane tells people about the incident. Embarrassed, Caroline fires her that night. Before she can leave, Louis professes his love for her and they begin a courtship.

In 1884, the couple marry, which causes another scandal for the Wain family due to her being 10 years older than him; and her social status as a governess which is considered lower class. They move into a house in Hampstead, where Louis takes additional work as a freelance artist to continue supporting his mother and sisters. Months later, Emily is diagnosed with breast cancer. While walking in the countryside, they take in a stray kitten they name Peter, to relieve the grief of Emily's cancer. The practice of keeping a cat as a pet was unusual in the Victorian era. Louis begins painting realistic pictures of Peter, but the paintings become more unusual as Emily's condition worsens. He makes the cats more anthropomorphic, with them engaging in human behaviour.

After showing Emily his work, she encourages him to show them to Sir William who uses the drawings in two pages of the Christmas edition. Although the edition becomes a success, Emily dies months later. Louis begins drawing more cat pictures to cope with losing the love of his life, creating whole cat societies, but it also begins to show Wain's detachment from reality.

By 1891, Wain's cat pictures become enormously popular. They are featured on postcards, greeting cards, and other print materials. Wain also sends some of his drawings abroad. The drawings change peoples' perception of cats, making them acceptable as house pets. He hosts cat-themed events and is made chairman of The National Cat Society. Despite the popularity of his work, the family remains in debt. Wain fails to copyright his work, so he cannot profit from any reproductions of the art. To make matters worse, Marie, the youngest, begins to show signs of mental illness. The debt causes the family to be evicted from the Hampstead home.

Sir William allows the family to stay at one of his properties at a reduced rate. Marie is admitted to an asylum, and Peter dies, causing Wain's own mental health to deteriorate. In 1907, Wain travels to New York, on a trip sponsored by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. Wain hopes to forge a successful career in America to alleviate his debts. He meets Max Kase, who tells him that people love the pictures. Days after arriving, he receives news that his mother has died of influenza. He has some success in NYC, but returns to England in 1914 at Caroline's request.

Upon arriving home, Louis is given the bad news that Marie, too, has died from influenza. Sir William also passes, succumbing to his gout. The family is evicted, and moves into a smaller flat in London. Louis continues to work as Britain enters World War I. He hits his head trying to jump off a double decker bus, and falls into coma; where he sees a vision of 1999. Coming out of the coma, he is inspired to design futuristic themed cat toys. The toys are manufactured, which looks to change the Wains’ fortunes, but alas their hopes are dashed when a German U-Boat sinks the ship carrying the toys.

In 1917, Caroline passes away. The losses of Emily, his mother, Marie, Peter, Sir William and Caroline causes Louis to go on a series of violent mental breakdowns. In 1924, his sisters are forced to have him committed to the Springfield Mental Hospital in Tooting. Dan Rider, an official inspecting the mental institution recognizes Louis; in 1881 Louis drew his dog Cleopatra for free while they rode a train. After speaking with Louis, he starts a campaign, along with Wain's three remaining sisters (who never married) to raise money that will place Louis in a better facility that will allow him to have a cat as a pet.

The campaign gets an enormous response, as thousands of admirers of Wain's art contribute. The author H.G. Wells, also a fan of Louis's work, along with other prominent British figures, assist with the effort. After raising the money needed. Louis is transferred to Bethlem Royal Hospital in Southwark, where he has a cat companion. In 1930, he is admitted Napsbury Hospital in St. Albans.

Guided by Emily's spirit, and with his journal and Emily's rock in his arms (the rock she gave to Caroline the night she moved in as their governess), Louis goes out to the painted countryside, where Emily once told him that he would find her there.

David continues practicing the violin while still remembering his biological family. Years pass, and David and Martin are now 21 years old. There is just one day left for a concert featuring David, when he mysteriously disappears with his violin.

It is revealed that David had fallen asleep on a bus and visits a Polish Jewish community in Stoke Newington, asking them about whether his family is still alive. He is then taken to a synagogue, where a list of people with the surname Rapaport who died during the WW2 is announced (in the form of a song, to make it easier to remember). After finding out that none of his family has survived, David breaks down.

Years later, in about 1986, Martin is now 56 years old and is married. He learns about a violinist, who he notices plays in the same pattern as his brother David, who had disappeared about 35 years ago. Martin then sets off to Poland to find his brother.

After meeting David's former love, who says that David left on a plane but told her where he was going, Martin arrives in New York, where he finds David, married with children. Martin is furious with David and tries to persuade him to perform at a concert. David at first refuses, but then accepts on two conditions (not revealed in the scene).

Two months later, Martin and his wife attend the concert, where David first plays with an orchestra, and then has a solo performance, in which he plays the 'Song of Names', remembering his family. Martin then receives a letter from David stating the former must think of the latter as dead and they must never meet again. The film ends with Martin reading the Kaddish, having reluctantly accepted that David is now dead to him.

The story starts with a flashback of 15 years. Two young women, Aliya and Niki sneak in a restricted cargo area and steal an artificial heart for an old woman named Mak Yah. Returning, they are intervened by pillar leaders. Trying to escape, Aliya is defeated and cornered, who forcefully insists Niki to escape with equipment, while she continues to fight the leaders.

In present, the plane carrying mayor of Cyberaya, Dato' Othman, is hijacked by four unknown heavily armoured intruders. He summons help from M.A.T.A and Ali arrives with his team for rescue. During fight, their leader detonates a bomb, damaging the craft. Mayor is ejected out, and intruders escape. The team struggles to handle the situation; Ali attempts to calibrate the plane but fails. Two new agents, Bobby (Inviso) and Fit (Techno) arrive for help. Bobby rescues the mayor and Fit stabilizes the plane with a new device's Over-ride mode mirroring to I.R.I.S, astonishing Ali. Ali is later briefed by Dayang and Ganz, about a new secret project of I.R.I.S Neo, based on the I.R.I.S ATLAS and override mode; and every agent was free to use the new prototype, also telling the history of I.R.I.S. Ali begins to doubt his original I.R.I.S and need in M.A.T.A, which is assured to have him a new unit. Reportedly, it was being tested by Bobby and Fit in present.

Back home at night, he finds a box of his mother, having its memories and toys. He also finds a lullaby music box of which he unknowingly turns the key in order to reveal a secret pen drive, with an emblem. He tries to access it, but is denied access which he doubts. Next morning, he is called by Alicia in a 24-hour restaurant Mamak Maju. He is joined by Bakar too and they secretly travel underground to M.A.T.A Headquarters with the help of owners Rahul, Rajesh and Razman (M.A.T.A agents, allies of General Rama, and happening to be care-takers of Alicia since her Infancy) who distract customers by dance and music. Ali reports to the meeting room and is astonished with Dato' s presence. Upon being questioned by his presence, Dato' annoyingly reveals M.A.T.A to be established by him during his settlement of city; and every agent "serves only to him". General Rama briefs about the investigation of the previous day's attack on Dato': the primary fuel recovered from the bomb blast was Azurium and intruders' armors and weapons were not of Cyberaya. Rama orders a raid of a meeting of Brother Bear of an illegal arms deal on intel received from his spies, as he suspects the weaponries involved were smuggled to Bear by a dealer.

During the deal of Bear and a customer, Bakar tries to catch Bear, but plan goes wrong, and Bear escapes with the weapon. Ali chases him, when suddenly three people ground Bear. The third of their group, Niki, snatches the weapon; Bear escapes. Ali attacks the group in response, but Niki shortens up the melee, and runs away on her moped. Ali trails her from the city to a slum. He is unaware of the location and continues to case, when suddenly, he overruns a dead end, loses control, and hits unconscious.

Later, he wakes up in a warehouse, injured. Niki arrives to see him, who took him at her house after accident. Ali realizes the same symbol on the pendrive. He queries about it, and reveals the pendrive to Niki. Niki is surprised, and concludes him to be son of Aliya, her deceased friend. Niki tells the first time she met her in city; a weak girl of slum met by a kind-hearted Aliya, who also helped her people in "Fringe". She teamed up with Niki to fight those who dared upon the "Fringe", and loot the resources for their use by slum. Niki describes Azureum's use in Medicine, Sanitation, Hygiene, daily use for their people. Ali is shocked that the situation isn't addressed to Cyberaya authorities, and that they don't listen or care about. He is also told about shortage of Azureum to keep up the needs. Ali is met by Alicia and Bakar, and is informed of Bear's arrest.

In the conference with other Cyberaya's authorities, Dato' discusses about progress of a new project of a smart factory and demands the work to be completed in time. Bear's interrogation reveals the dealer to be Vikram, an operating officer at Beta Tower, working closely with important people in developing Cyberaya. General assigns a new mission to secretly investigate illegal activities in Beta Tower. Ali and team (with Bobby and Fit), sneak in the building and investigate. During the procedure, a secret Secret passage is discovered, which leads them to a secret godown at a hidden floor level, illegally hoarding weapons and resources. They gather evidence; while Ali discovers a secret storage of Azureum, and collects data to reveal it to Niki.

Back to the Fringe, Ali leaks details to Niki and her sidekicks, and plan a raid at night. They breach the security; while Vikram is notified and corners them with private personnel. Ali's I.R.I.S' Override mode helps them to escape. At Fringe, he joins the community feast, and meets Mak Yah, who calls him Aliya's 'avatar' and helping rejuvenate people. He spends time talking with Niki, telling about his recruitment as agent, and being sidelined due to new creation. The intruders gate crash creates a wide attention and demand for the action. Dato' storms on the pillar leaders and general for their "ineffectiveness". Rama doubts Vikram to be the mastermind behind Dato's attack, but informing it only enrages him, and he threatens to displace them. After his leave, Rama informs a new intel on finding Vikram's "nests" hoarding illegal armories, and designates investigation to the team. Ali begins sabotaging the missions: clearing out the "nests" with Niki previous night of mission, piling up resources and leaving nothing for agents next morning. M.A.T.A begins surging with the sabotage by "unknown".

This continues, till even the last building is cleared out, when Alicia observes tire tracks of Ali's scooter. She doubts his absence and excuses from missions. Next day at restaurant, she calls Ali and reveals his "theft" to which he initially denies, but gives in. She demands reason, when Ali reveals his frustration of being an agent of an organization, working for a selfish man, and leaves the place; without their awareness that their conversations were being secretly intercepted by the restaurateurs, and Bobby.

Returning home, he is trailed by the agents. He tries to get away from them and enters a grocery shop where he is encircled by agents in disguise, while Bakar with them asks Ali to come with him. He is reluctant to join, and narrowly escapes the place. He is confronted by Bobby and Fit: former chases him, till the city metro station. There, Ali tries to board a train, when is screwed up. In the shopping complex, they engage in a fight, when Ali knocks him out and runs away, while Alicia and Fit continue to chase him. Meanwhile, Ali calls Niki for help, she advises him to hide in Fringe and she would handle them. Fit finally blocks him at entrance Fringe's entrance and physically assaults him for his tyranny in helping the 'criminals'. He even removes Ali's I.R.I.S as a result, when Bakar and Alicia arrive to save Ali.

Bakar intervenes and engages in heated argument, which gives Ali some time to escape the side. Following him, they're trapped as soon as they cross the entrance. Niki arrives with her mates and takes down each of them. Ali witnesses the brutally, and reacts. Niki rebuffs him, saying that he should not loose himself for his few people. Ali realizes Niki's extremeness, and attacks, which she easily wins and knocks him out as well.

Later, they wake up in Niki's stay, all held captive. He realizes the intruders and Niki herself (All in armored suits), who had previously attacked Mayor. She reveals to have configured the I.R.I.S NEO, snatched from Fit during fight, and now she can access its overall functions. She reveals to have got the knowledge of I.R.I.S from the pen drive given to her by Ali: that is, the original device was created by Ali's mother, Aliya. Niki tells that few years back, at the time being grounded by M.A.T.A pillar agents, Aliya was offered to work for them because of her potential to which she agreed, and Niki felt betrayed from that day, and started to help her community by her own. After some years, while sneaking into secret defense facility of Cyberaya with sidekicks and stealing resources, she activated three missiles to hit the city, when again confronted by M.A.T.A, and this time, Aliya, who tried to stop her. Though Niki slipped away, she witnessed Aliya's death, when Aliya engaged the I.R.I.S override for first time and clashed the missiles mid-air, using her complete energy. Niki termed her sacrifice "useless" for Cyberaya, because she had a grudge for the selfish Mayor.

Meanwhile, in the slum, Vikram arrives with his goons, after knowing Niki to be the intruder, and demands her for revenge. She appears, and easily beats all using I.R.I.S Neo. At being hostage, Ali is consolidated by Bakar and encouraged by Alicia to use his "I.R.I.S" for escape, but he is already disheartened of his blind faith on Niki and is under-confident of stopping her. He is approached by Mak Yah for his kindness to the slum, and returns him the I.R.I.S, saying him not to wear-off his true identity and do his duty.

During the speech of Dato' at the inauguration of the newly created factory, Niki rampages the place and takes him hostage. She is confronted by Ali and team. Further recruits (wearing the new device) and then General Rama with his companions arrive for help; Niki begins loose, when her I.R.I.S Neo turns override, and everyone wearing get hypnotized, and start following her commands. In saving the mayor, Ali's team are grounded, when his I.R.I.S goes over-ride in hostage emergency. He tries his best to defeat Niki, but is weakened by mind-controlled Ganz and Dayang, and knocked out by Niki.

Ali subconsciously finds himself in an unknown place, where he finds his mother, who reveals the place to be the Dimension of I.R.I.S; where Ali would often get whenever I.R.I.S went override, and the device would work on the stored data of his mother leaving nothing in his memory after the use. Ali is dismayed about the new invention, but is consolidated, that greatness never comes from a device, but the user and its determination. She also reveals that her stored data would be deleted if Ali tries to access the override mode. At first he is broken hearing the truth, but then strengthened by Aliya, to not lose his courage. Now, Ali controls override mode and clearly defeats Niki on her Dato's attack, and finally destroys her weapons. He tells her to give up, but Niki denies, and initiates the suicidal attempt to blast Azureum in her suit to kill everyone. Aliya's essence gets transferred to Niki's I.R.I.S, where she is trapped in the Dimension and Aliya separates the I.R.I.S from her. In aftermath, Niki regrets her madness, but is consoled by Bakar.

After few days, reporting mayor's recovery; Ganz heavily scolds Ali for his under ground support to criminals. On other hand, Dayang praises Ali for his duty, but also disappointedly states Ali to have punishment, and he is officially declared to get separated from his original I.R.I.S; the Neo project is disbanded of major flaws discovered. Ali willingly agrees, and vows to do his best in M.A.T.A and submits his I.R.I.S. After the meeting, Bakar shows Ali about his mother's moments that she served in M.A.T.A. In a last video, Bakar asks Aliya for reason to be an agent, to which she replies that there people to help, but all scattered; M.A.T.A need those so that people can come closer, know each other, and serve others selflessly. The very next day, Ali, his father and his friend Viktor visit the Fringe. Dr Ghazhali announces the Peripheral Development Project for Fringe, promising a sustainable development of both urban and rural communities. In evening, Ali is shown to have a get-together feast in Mamak Maju, with his team, accompanied with General, his friends, and Bobby-Fit.

Logan's second-oldest son Kendall fails to acquire media startup Vaulter from its CEO Lawrence Yee, who despises the Roys and has no interest in giving up control of his company to Waystar. Kendall believes he is set to be announced as the company's heir at Logan's 80th birthday.

Elsewhere, Logan's estranged great-nephew Greg Hirsch is fired from Waystar's management training program after smoking marijuana and vomiting through his mascot costume during the theme park tour part of the program. Greg's mother Marianne admonishes him to fly to New York to meet Logan on his birthday and request a better job at the company. While attempting to salvage the Vaulter acquisition, Kendall is surprised to see his father arrive at the office; Logan has Kendall sign some documents ostensibly pertaining to his son's takeover as CEO.

Later that day, the Roys gather at Logan's apartment for his birthday lunch. Logan receives gifts from his eldest son Connor, an eccentric who is uninvolved with the family business; his third son, the jeering and immature Roman; his daughter Siobhan (nicknamed "Shiv"), a political fixer; and Shiv's sycophantic boyfriend, Tom Wambsgans. Greg introduces himself to Logan, who agrees to give him a job if Greg's grandfather (Logan's brother) personally reaches out to Logan to ask. Kendall arrives and attempts to reconcile with his estranged wife Rava and their two children, who left him because of his drug abuse.

Logan takes his children aside and shocks them by giving them documents that will allow Marcia two seats on the board that decides his successor upon his retirement, and refusing to step down from the company. Kendall protests, but Logan informs him that the papers he had him sign already officiated his decision. After lunch, Logan decides to fly the family out to their traditional softball game.

At the game, Kendall offers Roman and Shiv a counterproposal naming him Logan's successor and appointing the two of them as co-COOs, but they immediately rebuff him. Roman agrees to sign off on his father's original plan if he is named COO, replacing Logan's longtime deputy Frank Vernon. Logan agrees and fires Frank at the game. A resentful Kendall leaves the game to attend another meeting regarding his Vaulter acquisition, and calls one of his media contacts to spread public rumors about Logan's failing health, hoping to destabilize the company.

While flying back to Manhattan, the other Roy siblings get into an argument with Logan regarding Marcia's involvement with the trust. However, Logan suddenly suffers a hemorrhagic stroke and collapses, and is rushed to the hospital.

As the vote of no confidence against Logan approaches, Kendall works to assemble as many of Waystar's shareholders to his side as possible. Roman helps out by convincing Lawrence, who is still at odds with Kendall, to take his side. Logan, meanwhile, arrives in Washington, D.C. to meet with the President of the United States, but the meeting is cut short at the last minute amid a possible terror threat. Logan is incensed and believes he has been snubbed.

Shiv has dinner with her ex-boyfriend and fellow political fixer Nate, who floats the possibility of the two of them working for Logan's political nemesis on his presidential campaign. Shiv later spends the night in Nate's apartment, albeit in a separate room; the two of them nonetheless remain sexually attracted to one another despite both being engaged.

Tom decides to reward Greg for seemingly destroying the documents pertaining to misconduct on the company's cruises by treating him to an expensive dinner. Greg, however, is obliged to first have dinner with his grandfather Ewan while he is still in New York. Ewan informs Greg that he is there to attend the vote against Logan, and advises that Greg stay out of the matter. Greg then attends his second dinner of the night with Tom and mentions the vote; Tom is surprised, having not been told about it beforehand, and calls Kendall to get up to date on the situation.

Kendall, meanwhile, visits an unsuspecting Logan and has an amicable home dinner with him on Marcia's request. The next morning, he flies to Long Island to secure the vote of ailing board member Ilona Shinoy, who is still ambivalent about ousting Logan. Kendall manages to sway her to his side, but is unable to fly back to Manhattan, which has temporarily become a no-fly zone in the wake of the terror threat. Kendall attempts to take a cab back to Waystar's offices, but gets stuck in traffic and decides to hurry to the vote on foot.

As Kendall rushes to the company building, Frank calls a board meeting and ambushes Logan with the vote of no confidence; Kendall reads his memorized statement over the phone to officiate the motion. Frank attempts to stall the vote until Kendall arrives, but Logan breaks company policy by refusing to leave the room and instead berates numerous board members (including Roman) into siding with him. Gerri, Lawrence and Stewy abstain from the vote, considering it a family dispute, while Ewan sides with his brother despite his moral misgivings about Logan and his company. Kendall finally arrives at the boardroom, but Logan fires him alongside everyone else who voted in favor of the motion, Frank included. A devastated Kendall is escorted out of the building by security. Later in the day, the President calls Logan back after the terror threat subsides; Logan remarks on having dealt with "terrorists of his own."

Kendall has cut off communications with the rest of his family and is suing Logan for firing him from Waystar. Tabloids suggest that Kendall, a recovering drug addict, has relapsed, but Kendall unconvincingly insists to Rava that he has not. Meanwhile, in an effort to fix his public image after the failed no-confidence vote, Logan agrees to a weekend-long family therapy session at Austerlitz, Connor's ranch in New Mexico, which Kendall chooses not to attend.

The first therapy session, conducted by celebrity psychologist Dr. Alon Parfit, proves fruitless. Shiv leaves Austerlitz to meet U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Gil Eavis, a staunch leftist who vehemently opposes Logan and his company. Nate has been attempting to persuade Shiv to work alongside him for Eavis' campaign. Shiv considers the idea more seriously after meeting Eavis, and has a sexual encounter with Nate in his car.

Kendall eventually does arrive in New Mexico and joins some locals on a cocaine and methamphetamine binge. Meanwhile, the rest of the therapy session also proves ineffectual, and Parfit is hospitalized after diving headfirst into a shallow pool and breaking several front teeth. Logan decides to give Roman more responsibilities by placing him in charge of overseeing a company satellite launch out of Japan. Roman, concerned for his brother's well-being, picks Kendall up from his relapse that night and takes him back to the ranch.

Kendall returns to find the rest of the family in a heated argument. Logan demeans Tom and berates Shiv for meeting with his rival Eavis, causing her to leave crying. Logan also admits to planting stories in the tabloids of Kendall's drug use prior to his actual relapse. Still heavily intoxicated, Kendall accuses his father of resenting his children for the privilege in which he raised them, and nearly provokes a physical altercation when he flippantly dismisses the abuse Logan suffered at the hands of his uncle Noah. Marcia breaks up the argument, and Connor admits to Logan that he feels "used" by his father turning Austerlitz into merely another stage for waging his business-related conflicts.

The next morning, the rest of the Roy children leave Austerlitz, and Connor tells his escort girlfriend Willa that he wants to make their relationship exclusive, to which Willa half-heartedly agrees. Logan goes for a private swim with only Marcia present, revealing visible scars across his back, seemingly from his childhood abuse.

On the day of Shiv and Tom's wedding, the family gathers for photos while Kendall and Stewy sequester themselves away to finalize the announcement of their takeover bid for Waystar RoyCo. Kendall delivers the official documents to Logan, confirming that it is indeed a bear hug. Logan is furious and kicks Kendall out of his room, but begins scrambling to get ahead of the situation with his legal team immediately afterwards.

Prior to the reception, Roman excuses himself to the restroom to watch the live broadcast of a Japanese satellite launch, which Logan had placed under his responsibility. However, the rocket explodes on the launchpad. Roman later feigns surprise when Gerri confronts him about it. Meanwhile, Connor informs Willa that he intends to run for President of the United States. A stressed Logan joins the crowd amidst his legal crisis, and angrily fires a young waiter for spilling champagne on his arm. The waiter is immediately met with an NDA and cash settlement.

The wedding reception begins that night and the Roys give their speeches for Shiv and Tom. Logan gathers his children to another room to inform them of Kendall's takeover bid, infuriating all of them. Kendall arrives soon after and confirms his plans, seemingly indifferent to the anger of his siblings. Afterwards, he repeatedly asks Stewy for cocaine, but Stewy declines in order to preserve Kendall's focus for the night.

Roman is relieved to learn from Gerri that no one died in the rocket explosion. Connor announces his presidential ambitions to his siblings. Kendall runs into Greg outside the castle, who reveals that he kept copies of the documents pertaining to crimes on Waystar's cruises and uses them as leverage to request a better position within the company. Kendall is impressed and agrees to Greg's wishes. Shiv and Tom return to their bedroom, where Shiv confides to Tom that she feels she is better suited for a non-monogamous relationship, and admits her affair with Nate. Tom forgives her and ejects Nate from the wedding.

Kendall wanders outside the castle searching for drugs and runs into Andrew Dodds, the waiter whom Logan had fired earlier. The two do ketamine together; an intoxicated Kendall decides to drive towards town in search of cocaine. As they approach a bridge, they swerve to avoid hitting a deer, landing the car into nearby water. Unable to save Dodds from drowning, Kendall flees the scene and returns to the wedding in shock. Having lost his keycard in the crash, Kendall breaks into his own bedroom, showers, and rejoins the crowd to keep up appearances with his family.

The police investigate the case the following morning, and recover Kendall's room key at the crash site. Logan concocts a cover story suggesting that Dodds stole Kendall's key card, but privately tells Kendall he knows he is responsible. Logan promises to make the case go away if Kendall calls off the takeover and attends rehab. Kendall obliges and breaks down crying in his father's arms.

In 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, captain in the French army, is found guilty of high treason for passing military secrets to the German Empire. He is degraded and condemned to exile on Devil's Island; his affair triggers a noticeable echo in France since Dreyfus is Jewish. One year later, officer Georges Picquart, former superior of Dreyfus himself, is appointed head of the secret service section in the French army (''Deuxième Bureau''). The man, despite alleged anti-Semitic sentiments, is aware that the trial against Dreyfus was rather summary and biased by his origin; therefore, noticing some irregularities in the dossier of the affair, he decides to conduct an investigation to verify the man's guilt. Picquart discovers that the so-called ''bordereau'', the document that would prove his guilt, was not written by Dreyfus, as the graphologist Alphonse Bertillon had declared, but by another soldier: Major Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy. According to Picquart, he is the real spy, but the evidence has been prejudiced or even falsified to the detriment of Dreyfus.

Picquart is convinced of Dreyfus' innocence and tries to reopen the trial to exonerate him and arrest Esterhazy, but meets the opposition of his superiors: admitting Dreyfus' innocence would result in a great scandal that would lead to the discovery of corruption in the army, while the man, as a Jew, is the perfect scapegoat. Picquart is then removed from office and sent on a mission far from Paris; However, he manages to return and tell everything to a friend of him, the lawyer Louis Leblois, who begins to organise a committee for the rehabilitation of Dreyfus, involving his colleague Fernand Labori, members of the Parliament and intellectuals, including the famous author Émile Zola.

Picquart's insubordination leads to his arrest, but on the same day Zola publishes in the newspaper ''L'Aurore'' the article entitled ''J'accuse'', which would become famous, where he fiercely criticises the irregularities of the trial of Dreyfus and exposes all the people involved in the case. Zola, on a complaint from the government, is tried for defamation and, due to the false declarations made in the courtroom by the soldiers called to witness, the writer is sentenced to one year in prison. While the entire France is divided between innocent and guilty parties, the intellectuals signing the pro-Dreyfus petition are targeted by popular hatred. Later, after losing a duel against Picquart, Lieutenant Colonel Hubert Joseph Henry, who had testified against Dreyfus, admits he gave perjury, only to die shortly after, apparently suicide.

Following Henry's depositions, Picquart is acquitted and released, while Dreyfus is repatriated for a second trial; shortly before the decisive hearing, the lawyer Labori suffers an assassination attempt and is unable to defend Dreyfus. The man is sentenced again, but the sentence to be served is made lighter by the recognition of the extenuating circumstances. In 1899, the Prime Minister grants Dreyfus a pardon. Picquart would like to continue fighting to prove his innocence, but Dreyfus, exhausted, accepts it. Seven years later there will be full acquittal and reintegration into the army.

In 1907, Picquart is appointed Minister of War, also thanks to the recognition of the judicial error to the detriment of him. Dreyfus asks him for an audience and protests because the years in which he has unfairly served his sentence have not been recognised, preventing him from reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel. Picquart cannot make this concession to him as the political climate has changed again, which causes Dreyfus' outrage. The two men greet each other with respect, never to see each other again.

Attempting to leave, they repeatedly find themselves back at number 9. They drive around the endless, identical streets until they run out of petrol.

They sleep in the house. The next morning, they try to escape on foot, but consistently return to number 9. They find a box of tasteless vacuum-packed food in front of the house. Tom sets fire to the house and they sleep on the pavement. When they awake another box has been left, containing an infant and the message, "Raise the child and be released."

Gemma wounds the Boy with the pickaxe. The Boy hisses and crawls into a labyrinth under the pavement. Gemma follows it and crashes through the door into multiple rooms in other houses with more Boys and several strangers, one of whom has died by suicide.

She lands back in number 9, weak and moaning. The Boy is cleaning the house. He carries her to a vacuum bag explaining that mothers die after raising their sons. She dies as he zips her in. The Boy buries her with Tom and fills in the hole. He drives back to the estate office, where an aged Martin lies dying in his chair. Martin gives The Boy his name tag and expires. The Boy puts Martin in a vacuum bag and puts it into a file drawer. When a couple walks in the door, the Boy greets them just as Martin did.

Part 1: "The House that Xavier Built"

Somewhere, X (Professor X's mind is in Fantomex's body and wearing a different type of Cerebro helmet) watches over several beings emerging from cocoons. "To me, my X-Men," he says as they crawl towards him.

Starting five months ago, members of the X-Men began taking flowers from the island of Krakoa to various locations, notably Westchester County, New York, the Blue Area of the Moon, the Green Area on Mars, the Savage Land, Washington D.C., and the Jerusalem Habitat. Since then, they have grown into large bio-masses of plant life.

Now at the Jerusalem Habitat, several ambassadors arrive to the area, responding to a telepathic message sent by Charles Xavier to recognize a new sovereign nation of Mutants....Krakoa. The ambassadors are met by the newly appointed Krakoan ambassador Magneto.

As Jean Grey leads the mutant residents of the X-Mansion to Krakoa, information is given through diagrams on the layout of Krakoa as well as the main items of trade it produces: flowers designed for various purposes such as extending the human lifespan or creating portals directly to Krakoa.

Near the sun, spacecraft approach the station known as "The Forge," home base of a human group called Orchis. Orchis is the self-proclaimed "last hope" for humanity, made up of various members of human organizations such as A.I.M., S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, Alpha Flight, and others, allied to prevent the extinction of homo sapiens to mutants. The Forge is based on the remnants of Sol's Hammer (a planet killer designed by The Illuminati during the lead-up to ''Secret Wars'') and a Mother Mold (a Sentient machine designed to create "Master Molds" which in turn create Sentinels). Orchis was activated when Xavier's message went out to the world, seemingly a "trigger" for the eventual extinction of humanity.

Meanwhile, a team made up of Mystique, Sabretooth, and Toad infiltrate the base of Damage Control searching for information in the databases. While they get what they searched for, Sabertooth maims several guards in the chaos and is eventually captured by the Fantastic Four.

At the same time, Magneto leads the ambassadors through several worldwide Krakoan habitats, connected through portals. The ambassadors question the war-like capabilities of the instantaneous travel, which Magneto declares is instead of an "instrument of war" an "unassailable refuge." He also reveals that the ambassadors will not be going to the island of Krakoa, for "Man is not welcome there."

While the Fantastic Four are about to take away Sabretooth, Cyclops arrives to bring him back to Krakoa due to diplomatic immunity. While tensions arise between him and Mister Fantastic, Cyclops decides to leave Sabretooth to them to avoid a situation. While leaving, Invisible Woman asks if Cyclops and X are sure about what they are doing. Cyclops states that he believes in X and offers Invisible Woman's mutant son Franklin Richards a place to stay with his "family" on Krakoa before leaving.

Back with the Ambassadors, Magneto reveals to the Stepford Cuckoos that he is aware of the true nature of the ambassadors as potential plants within Krakoa (while hinting that one member has a true alliance to Orchis). While he claims he is not threatening them, Magneto declares that he wants humanity to understand that they "have new gods now."

Part 2: "The Last Dream of Professor X"

'''Year One (The Dream)''': At a fair in Oxford, Charles Xavier meets Moira Kinross (eventually MacTaggert) who asks why he is smiling. Charles explains that recently, he has had the "most wonderful dream," of his place in a better world referring to the eventual creation of Xavier's School and the X-Men. Moira stops for a second, before stating, "Well, here's the thing Charles... It's not a dream if it's real." Charles questions whether they have met before, which Moira responds to by asking him to read her mind. Charles reads Moira's mind, and his eyes go wide.

'''Year Ten (The World)''': In present day, Mystique and Toad arrive on Krakoa after the infiltration of Damage Control. Mystique takes the flash drive with their findings on it to X and Magneto, who enter it into a computer to view the contents.

'''Year One Hundred (The War)''': In a dark future Earth, humans and mutants are locked in an apocalyptic, decades-long war, ultimately stemming from the creation of the mutant nation-state on Krakoa. A series of journal notes interspersed throughout the issue provide historical backstory:

• Both sides engaged in an arms race focused on hybridizing themselves with better technology. Humans at first relied on robotic Sentinels to fight mutants, but over time they became increasingly reliant on cybernetic upgrades, mixing the best of man and machine. Eventually a "Human-Machine Supremacy" came to dominate earth led by Nimrod the Lesser and his Sentinels. Mutants, meanwhile, developed "Chimeras" - mutants genetically engineered by Mister Sinister to mix-and-match powerful abilities from other mutants.
• For a time, the Supremacy genetically engineered Hounds to hunt other mutants (like in the ''Days of Future Past'' timeline), but they generally proved unreliable, often defecting back to their own kind, and the last production facility was shut down ten years ago. As their emphasis shifted from hunting mutants to fighting frontline mutant armies, the last generation of Hounds were programmed to be infiltrators and double-agents, though they were also for the most part ineffective.
• Originally the mutant side succeeded by using hit-and-run attacks, but eventually this worked too well: when they had to overtly hold captured territory, there were too many mutants to simply hide, so they shifted to a more aggressive, militaristic stance. The mutant faction even established a foothold on Mars, as the war spread throughout the solar system. Needing more of a frontline army, they turned to Sinister, who established breeding vats in a facility on Mars. The first generation he made were simply mass-produced clones, but taking inspiration from the genetic engineering used by the humans' Hound program, the second generation were Chimeras that combined the genetic templates of two to five different mutants. The third generation mixed the genetic material from up to five different mutants in one person, and was highly successful. Sinister's creations managed to protect Krakoa for thirty years after their introduction.
• In circumstances only vaguely described, Mister Sinister orchestrated the near-universal death or disappearance of mutantkind's senior leaders, as he had been acting in his own self-interest from the start. Soon afterwards, disaster struck the Mars base: the fourth generation of Sinister's mutants (the third Chimera generation) had an inherent flaw that led to them developing a psychic hive-mind while still at the production facility. The spontaneous awakening of this hive-mind unleashed massive energies that destroyed them and the Mars facility - just as Sinister had planned. This was soon followed by the "fall of Krakoa". Sinister betrayed mutantkind in order to defect to the Man-Machine Supremacy, in return for promised reward, but instead they publicly executed him. In one fell swoop, the Sentinel-cyborgs essentially won the war.
• The "present" day of the X2 timeline is set 90 years after the formation of the mutant state on Krakoa (the present-day in the X1 timeline). The fall of Krakoa and the Mars disaster occurred within the past decade. Barely 10,000 mutants are still alive - all having fled to the protection of the Shi'ar Empire in space, while mutants have been totally eradicated from the Solar system itself. A small team of eight mutants remains on a local asteroid seeded by Krakoa, dubbed "Asteroid K", from which they open gateway portals to Earth and launch missions against the Man-Machine Supremacy. Earth itself has been left devastated by decades of war. The surviving mutants hold out vain hope that they can eventually convince the Shi'ar to annex Earth and be used to spearhead the invasion.

A small team of mutants led by a Chimera named Rasputin IV (who was made from the genetic templates of Shadowcat, Colossus, Quentin Quire, Unus the Untouchable, and X-23) escape from a group of Sentinels but lose two of their own in the process; Percival is killed, and Cylobel is captured. Cylobel is taken to Nimrod, who charismatically apologizes to her for everything he has done, before trapping her within an experimental hive-mind creator and killing her. Rasputin and the remaining mutant Cardinal (who was made from the genetic templates of Francis Fanny, Nightcrawler, and Rachel Summers) escape to arrive at their base through a Krakoan flower, where they are met by the only remaining mutant resistance, including the Last Horsemen of Apocalypse members Wolverine as War, Cypher as Famine, North (who was made from the genetic template of Emma Frost and Polaris) as Pestilence, and Xorn as Death. Rasputin IV and Cardinal confirm their mission was not in vain, and Wolverine leads them to "the old man."

'''Year One Thousand (Ascension)''': In the archive of Nimrod the Greater, a blue-skinned being known as the Librarian converses with Nimrod on the final fate of his hive-mind experiment, which proved pointless due to the 'surprising' final fate of the war. He then looks at a nature preserve where two nude human figures reside, reflecting that it is important to keep a record of "the great sins of history" so that "they never have Dominion again."

Part 3: "The Uncanny Life of Moira X"

'''Moira I''': Moira Kinross (later Cowan) lives an unassuming life as a teacher, with a husband and three children. Moira later dies peacefully at the age of 74 from natural causes.

'''Moira II''': After her death, Moira suddenly finds herself back in her mother's womb with all the memories of her previous life. Moira is actually a mutant with the ability of resurrection. While she conceals her nature as best she can, she is nevertheless considered a prodigy and decides to become an academic in biology and psychology at Oxford to understand what she is. After two decades of research, she spots her former classmate Charles Xavier revealing himself as a mutant on television. Realizing this opportunity, she takes a flight to America that proves fatal after it crashes in the ocean.

'''Moira III''': In this life, Moira instead decides to focus on anthropology and genetics and seeks out Xavier while at Oxford. However, Xavier's arrogance and Moira's distaste for her own nature leads her to devote her life to creating a cure for mutation. She succeeds only for her lab to be destroyed and her colleagues to be killed by Mystique, Pyro and Destiny. Destiny's precognitive powers allow her to realize Moira is actually a mutant invisible by standard mutant detection methods. She warns Moira that if she ever decides to act against mutants again, Destiny will kill her before her X-gene activates at the age of 13, which would kill her permanently. She also tells Moira that she cannot resurrect indefinitely and that she will only have ten lives or eleven "if [she makes] the right choice in the end". Destiny then orders Pyro to burn Moira alive slowly so that she will never forget this encounter.

'''Moira IV''': Moira decides to throw herself headfirst into the cause of mutant-human co-existence and once again pursues Xavier at Oxford, with the two becoming lovers. They go through what is implied to be the pre-''House of X'' history of the X-Men before finally being killed by Sentinels in a Days of Future Past-like future.

'''Moira V''': Having become radicalized by the experience, Moira decides to meet Xavier even earlier and convince him to create an isolated haven for mutants. Nevertheless, the Sentinels eventually attack the haven and destroy it and Moira.

'''Moira VI''': Not revealed at the time.

'''Moira VII''': Moira forgoes science entirely and instead becomes an assassin dedicating her life to exterminating the entire Trask family to prevent the creation of the Sentinels, but they arise as an inevitable consequence of technological development and humanity's fear of mutants. They once again exterminate mutantkind.

'''Moira VIII''': Further radicalized, Moira decides to ally with Magneto instead of Xavier. They are both defeated by the combined forces of the Avengers and the X-Men, and Moira dies during a failed prison escape.

'''Moira IX''': Even further radicalized, Moira decides to ally with Apocalypse and go to war with humankind.

'''Moira X''': Facing her last life and looking back at all her experiences, Moira decides that in this timeline, she and Xavier will "break all the rules." She meets Xavier in Oxford and tells him to read her mind showing him all she has done.

Part 4: "We Are Together Now, You and I"

'''Year One''': Professor X and Moira McTaggert visit Magneto on his island base in Bermuda. Despite initially mistrusting him, Professor X has resolved his differences with Magneto, and Magneto agrees to open his mind to them. Moira reveals her true nature to him, giving Magneto a glimpse into her previous lives. Seeing the many ways in which he has failed, Magneto agrees to Professor X and Moira's proposal, a long-term plan to guarantee the future of mutantkind.

'''Year Ten''': Magneto and Xavier show Cyclops the plans of a Mother Mold. They believe that it will usher in a new generation of Sentinels and the emergence of Nimrod. They order a strike on the Mother Mold, which is on a station orbiting the sun, and Cyclops leaves to assemble a team.

'''Year One Hundred''': Cardinal and Rasputin IV return successful from their mission, having retrieved an indexing machine which will allow them to know the location of key machine intelligence. Krakoa manages to successfully decrypt the index, revealing the location. Wolverine's war form points out that the information is useless since they would have to hold off the Sentinels in order to access the information (i.e. a suicide mission), but Apocalypse assures them that they will succeed as he will personally lead them.

'''Year One Thousand''': The Librarian and Nimrod have been successful in their plan. In order to prove their value to the higher civilizations in the universe, they create a replica Worldmind, which is found by the Phalanx who successfully consume it and come to Earth to find its creators.

Part 5: "This Is What You Do"

'''Year One Hundred''': At the Temple of Concordance, the X-Men attack the Church of Ascendancy, an organization dedicated to the worship of the machines. Omega Sentinel watches from the Human-Machine Monolith and tries to convince Nimrod the Lesser to investigate, but he refuses. Omega confronts the X-Men, and when where she and her squadron of Sentinels gain the upper hand, Rasputin IV removes the mask of Xorn's Death form to unleash the black hole contained within his head, killing all the remaining X-Men and the Sentinels.

Meanwhile, Apocalypse leads Wolverine's War form and Cypher's Famine form into an old machine databank to find an information crystal. They are successful in finding it but are intercepted by Nimrod. Famine opens a portal for them to retreat, and Apocalypse stays behind to buy time before escaping himself. Back in the safety of Asteroid K, War releases Mother Akkaba, also known as Moira, from her stasis. He presents her with the information crystal, force-feeding the information into her mind. Apocalypse requests War kill Moira, and with her consent, he kills her to resurrect knowing the precise time of when Nimrod emerges. The Year One Hundred storyline is thus revealed to take place during Moira's ninth life.

Part 6: "Once More unto the Breach"

Cyclops informs X and Magneto that he has assembled a team (Wolverine, Husk, Archangel, M, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, and Mystique) in order to attack the Mother Mold facility orbiting the Sun. After meeting, they embark on the mission.

In the superhuman prison known as Project Achilles, a trial is being held for Sabretooth. The trial is interrupted by Emma Frost who presents the judge with a pardon from the U.S. Supreme Court as the U.S. government has agreed to a general amnesty for all mutants on American soil in anticipation of Krakoa becoming a sovereign nation. Despite the protests of the human officials at the court, Emma and Sabretooth are allowed to walk free and return to Krakoa.

On the Orchis Forge where the Mother Mold is being constructed, the human scientists detect that the X-Men are inbound. Nightcrawler is sent in for recon and encounters the chief scientist and Omega Sentinel. Omega Sentinel deduces that the X-Men plan to attack the control collars in order to send the Mother Mold hurtling into the Sun. The X-Men dock onto the station and attempt entry. The chief of security, Erasmus, sets off a bomb and kills himself while destroying the X-Men's vessel.

Part 7: "It Will Be Done"

On Krakoa, X and Magneto contact Marvel Girl to monitor the mission. Jean reveals that Archangel and Husk were killed in the explosion set off by Erasmus while Wolverine and Nightcrawler were injured. Deciding that they still need to finish the mission at any cost, Nightcrawler teleports Cyclops, Wolverine, and Mystique into strategic locations in order to destroy the control collars, with Nightcrawler himself taking the last one while Jean and M staying on the ship in order to maintain the connection to Krakoa.

Wolverine and Nightcrawler are successful in destroying the collars, but the ship is boarded by Orchis forces. Monet ensures Jean leaves in an escape pod while remaining on board to cover her escape. She transforms into her Penance form and begins fighting the humans. Cyclops finds and disengages his control collar, but Mystique is intercepted as she finds hers and is killed when Doctor Gregor opens an airlock.

Desperate, the humans activate the Mother Mold, not knowing whether it will be sane or not. X tells them to do whatever it takes to stop it. Wolverine and Nightcrawler volunteer to head to the final switch which is now in a vacuum. Nightcrawler teleports Wolverine onto the collar before being instantly evaporated by the sun. Wolverine's healing factor allows him time to carve through it before he too is evaporated as the Mother Mold hurtles into the sun.

With the mission complete, Cyclops tries to locate Jean's pod, but Doctor Gregor executes him. The Sentinel drones arrive, intercept Jean's pod, and work to kill her. As his proteges have seemingly all died at the hands of humans once again, X cries and vows "no more."

Part 8: "Something Sinister"

'''Year One''': X and Magneto head to the island of Bar Sinister to seek Mister Sinister's assistance to build a database of mutant DNA. He declines, but is promptly killed by another Mister Sinister clone with the mutant gene. That version readily agrees to help. Xavier then wipes the memory of their meeting from Mister Sinister's mind.

'''Year Ten''': Several months ago, X and Cypher traveled to the sentient island of Krakoa. X brought Cypher deep into the island to meet the entity of Krakoa. Cypher conversed with Krakoa as he learned its language and some of its history. He revealed to X that Krakoa was once one island Okkara that was split into two islands named Arakko and Krakoa by the arrival of an enemy. This enemy sought to destroy the world and was stopped by the arrival of Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen. Later, X telepathically revealed his plans to Cypher. He tasked Cypher with building an interface system on Krakoa to allow the mutants to communicate with the island, and Cypher successfully creates a program that allows mutants to interact with the island without his help. Additionally, Cypher helped create four systems, transit and monitoring, defense and observation, secondary and external systems, and overwatch and data analysis, controlled by Sage, Black Tom Cassidy, Trinary, and Beast. There are rumors too that Forge built a large subterranean laboratory to help build biological machines as well.

'''Year One Thousand''': The Librarian offers himself to the Phalanx in hopes of ascension and offers an orb. The Phalanx assimilates it and transforms into a large, spherical shape, confusing the assembled group. The group explains that the Phalanx only absorb machine intelligence they find useful, and the Librarian has created an empty vessel and copied himself over into it in the hopes of ascension. They await for the Phalanx to decide if the form is acceptable.

Part 9: "Society"

On Krakoa, X, Magneto, Storm, and Polaris assemble and are joined by five other mutants: Eva Bell, Proteus, Hope Summers, Elixir, and Egg.

Magneto explains that the five mutants, collectively known as The Five, are able to revive deceased mutants. Egg creates unviable eggs, which Proteus in a Professor X husk makes viable using his powers. The preserved DNA of a mutant is then injected into the eggs, and Elixir initiates cellular replication while Eva Bell uses her powers to accelerate their growth. Hope uses her powers to help the others operate at their peak and in unison allowing them to revive any deceased mutants.

Magneto further explains that X has been using Cerebro to copy the mind of any mutants found, so he can put their mind back in these empty shells as needed. X watches over several beings emerging from the eggs. "To me, my X-Men" he says as they crawl towards him. He places Cyclops's visor on him and watches as the group stands, thanking them all.

Storm brings The Five and the revived mutants out, proudly announcing that The Five has allowed the nation of Krakoa to defeat death. She then introduces the revived mutants individually to the assembled crowd, assuring the crowd that they are the mutants they've known. X and Magneto watch the events from afar and discuss what remains unfinished. They discuss the upcoming United Nations vote on Krakoa's inclusion into the organization. Magneto asks if Charles is worried, but Xavier simply says that today, he is filled with hope. The revived mutants enter the crowd as Storm calls them the "Heroes of Krakoa".

At the U.N. Headquarters, X, Beast, and Emma Frost celebrate with other ambassadors for gaining recognition of Krakoa as a nation. X and Emma telepathically discuss the events as Emma hints she manipulated the Russian ambassador to abstain from the vote. X thanks her for her work and promises that he has bold plans for her in the future. Informational pages reveal that over 100 countries accepted a trade deal with Krakoa and that several others are still negotiating trade deals. They also reveal that several countries rejected a trade deal for ideological and political reasons, including Iran, North Korea, Latveria, Russia, Brazil, and Honduras. Wakanda alone rejected a trade deal, stating that they did not need the mutant drugs, as did its three economic protectorates - Azania, Canaan, and Kenya.

Two days after the U.N. vote, X, Magneto, and Wolverine wait at several portals. Wolverine expresses his misgivings about the upcoming event, but X and Magneto assure him all will be alright. Soon after, several villainous mutants, including Mister Sinister, Sebastian Shaw, Exodus, Selene, and Apocalypse arrive through the portals. Apocalypse expresses satisfaction at arriving, and Krakoa responds in the same way. Magneto and Xavier reveal that they have invited all mutants to Krakoa to form a society, including past opponents. The assembled villainous mutants agree to their terms, and Xavier shakes Apocalypse's hand, welcoming him and the others to their home.

Part 10: "For the Children"

'''Year One''': X meets with Forge and asks him to modify Cerebro to allow it to store duplicate mutants' minds. Forge claims the storage and power required are far beyond anything on Earth, but X reveals he has access to Shi'ar technology capable of overcoming that limitation. When Forge asks if he must redesign a new system or build it onto Cerebro, X leaves the decision in Forge's hands and simply asks, "Are you--or are you not--going to build it for me?"

'''Year Ten''': X and Magneto meet with Emma Frost in the Louvre in order to recruit the Hellfire Corporation to aid in the establishment of Krakoa. Emma believes the idea of establishing another mutant nation-state is a recipe for disaster, but she is ultimately convinced by seeing Krakoa first hand. X explains that they need the Hellfire Corporation's help in distributing Krakoa's exclusive drugs to the rest of the world which Emma compares to becoming "the East India Trading Company of mutantdom". X offers Emma a seat on Krakoa's council along with Sebastian Shaw, so he can run black book operations in countries that reject Krakoa's sovereignty. Emma accepts on one condition: She will need an additional seat on the council. Later, X sends a telepathic message worldwide summoning all mutants to Krakoa. The only one shown rejecting it is Namor, who claims that X doesn't truly believe that he is superior to the rest of humanity and tells him to come back when he "really means it."

'''Year One Thousand''': The Phalanx accept the Librarian's offer and destroy his group's leader. The Librarian asks Nimrod why they did this, and Nimrod speculates that the Phalanx are part of a truly massive intelligence hosted in a network of black holes. By adding other intelligence to their own, they consume their own physical form, which they will now do to Earth.

Part 11: "I Am Not Ashamed"

One month prior to the events of the series, X, Magneto, and Moira meet in Moira's No-Space underneath Krakoa. Xavier uses Cerebro to offer Krakoa's miracle drugs to all of humanity in exchange for three conditions: Krakoa's inclusion in the United Nations, Krakoan citizenship for all mutants, and amnesty for all mutant criminals. His message is heard by everyone around the world, mankind and mutants alike.

Information pages reveal that the Quiet Council of Krakoa includes 13 members: X, Magneto, Apocalypse, Mister Sinister, Exodus, Mystique, Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, Storm, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, and the Red King, with Cypher speaking for Krakoa itself. They are assisted by the four Great Captains who lead in times of conflict: the Captain Commander Cyclops, Gorgon, Bishop, and Magik.

In the present, the Quiet Council meets to design the laws of their nation. After much deliberation, the Council devises the first three laws of the nation of Krakoa: mutants must make other mutants, mutants shall not murder humans, and the land of Krakoa must be respected. The Council finds Sabretooth guilty of violating the second law and sentences him to exile deep within the bowels of Krakoa. Krakoa swallows him up as X laments the business of running a nation.

After the Council adjourns, they celebrate the birth of their new nation with the other residents of Krakoa as X and Magneto proudly look on.

Part 12: "House of X"

'''Year One Thousand''': The Librarian strolls through the Preserve, which is revealed to hold mutants, not baseline humans as previously hinted. He comes across Wolverine and Moira (who has survived via blood transfusions from the former for the past millennium) and informs them he is arranging for them to be taken off the planet before Ascension. It is revealed that the Librarian and his race are post-humans (''homo novissima''), humans who have used genetic engineering and technology to direct their own evolution and thus outnumber mutant kind. The Librarian explains that if Moira dies when the Phalanx destroy the Earth before Ascension, she can use her powers to stop them. However, if she is left behind, the Dominion can use their consciousness spread throughout all of space and time to stop Moira instead. Wolverine kills the Librarian and then kills Moira so she can use her knowledge to stop the ascent of post-humanity. This is then revealed to be Moira's sixth life.

'''Year One''': When Xavier sees all of Moira's lifetimes, Xavier is crushed by the experience and the revelation that mutant-kind will always lose. Moira explains that the one constant throughout all her lives is that Professor X is a good person and that she had to break that part of him to ensure mutant survival.

'''Year Ten''': X and Magneto meet Moira at her No-Space to inform her about the new Council. Moira is suspicious about Emma not having named her extra Council seat yet but X trusts her. X also informs Moira that in order to convince Mystique to join, they made a promise that they'd resurrect Destiny. Moira is opposed to "pre-cogs" in Krakoa since they will end up revealing mutants' ultimate fate and jeopardizing the project. But X and Magneto promise this will be different and that the time has come for Moira to step aside. X and Magneto renew their commitment to fight for mutant-kind. Magneto proclaims "I am not ashamed of what I am. Let's see them try to stop us this time."

Pilot James T. Hoffman is busted by the FBI when he arrives in the United States with a large amount of cocaine in his airplane. His wife and two sons are with him, having accompanied him on the flight to Bolivia. He agrees to become an informant and the FBI relocates him and his family to San Diego. Special Agent Benedict Tisa acts as his handler and continues to pressure him into setting up his boss, Morgan Hetrick, who has millions of dollars in over seas accounts from trafficking narcotics. Hoffman attempts to play both sides.

Hoffman meets John DeLorean while trying to start his car, discovering that he's his next door neighbor. DeLorean is designing the ultimate car of the future, after his continued dissatisfaction with the automobile industry and his role in it. Hoffman's and DeLorean's families become friends. Hoffman tells his wife Ellen that he's an informant, leading to tension between the two of them.

DeLorean throws many parties in order to raise funds for his new car. He receives $600,000 from Johnny Carson, who calls DeLorean during one of his parties and is put on speaker phone, where he complains about how the new car has continually broken down. Hoffman brings Hetrick to the same party in order to introduce him to DeLorean after having bragged to him about DeLorean's new car. The two of them, along with Hetrick's girlfriend, Katy snort cocaine laced with PCP, leading to some disruption.

Hoffman works for DeLorean who struggles to raise funds and is in a large amount of debt. DeLorean asks him to raise $30,000,000. Hoffman informs Tisa that DeLorean wants to move cocaine in order to raise the money in exchange that he and his family will be safe from any criminal prosecution and that he will no longer be required to work for the FBI. Hoffman introduces DeLorean to Hetrick and Tisa who poses as a drug dealer in order to bust them both. They all agree to the deal. Problems arise when DeLorean can't raise any money for the initial deal but Hoffman convinces Tisa to loan DeLorean federal money as his undercover persona in order for the deal to go through.

Hetrick and Katy are arrested by Tisa and other agents when they deliver the cocaine. Hoffman drives DeLorean to a hotel in order to receive his money from the deal, with DeLorean unaware that he's actually meeting undercover federal agents. DeLorean is arrested after going to a room and completing the deal. Hoffman is seen testifying against DeLorean in court in flash forward scenes throughout the film. At the end of the film, while on the stand, Hoffman is unable to conclusively say whether or not DeLorean was the one who suggested the deal. DeLorean is acquitted of all charges.

Tisa informs Hoffman that he'll make sure witness protection send him and his family to Boise, Idaho. DeLorean and Hoffman meet in a cafe where DeLorean hands him keys to one of the cars he had been designing sitting outside, as well as a briefcase for his inconclusive testimony. Hoffman gets in the car and opens the briefcase which contains a large amount of money. He puts the key in the ignition and turns it but the car does not start.

Khazana tells the story of newlywed bride Vaidehi, who after undergoing emotional, mental and ultimately physical abuse takes a stand and sets out to take her revenge on those who destroyed her. She calls all her friends and family to a dinner planned by herself so that secrets can be revealed and shocking revelations made. Through the dinner and multiple flashbacks, we see the various interactions that she has had with all those at the dinner table and how they have abused her and taken advantage of her. She pretends that everyone is there to save her and help her escape the trauma that she is bearing, but secretly she has pre-planned the dinner so that she can expose everyone's true character and also what they have done to her. Little do the guests know that they are at the table because 'Revenge is Served'!

Mat the Mouse comes to visit Reader Rabbit at his house. During a game of hide and seek, Mat ducks into a toy chest where Reader can't find her and decides to play around with the games inside.

In 2015, following Syriza's victory in the 2015 Greek legislative election, Greek Minister of Finance Yánis Varoufákis is tasked by Prime Minister Aléxis Tsípras to negotiate a new deal on the memorandum of understanding signed by previous government with the Troika in order to avoid facing another inevitable debt crisis in the country months later. However, throughout successive meetings of the Eurogroup, Varoufákis's proposals are only met with flat refusals from the Troika. With constant threats from the European institution of an eviction of Greece from the Eurozone if their demands are not met, Greek PM Aléxis Tsípras is forced to sign the MoU, going against the 62% of the population that rejected the bailouts by voting "No" in the 2015 Greek bailout referendum. Yánis Varoufákis then resigned, five months after taking the office.

Stillwater, Oklahoma roughneck Bill Baker travels to Marseille, Southern France to visit his daughter Allison, who is five years into serving a nine-year prison sentence. While attending university in Marseille, Allison was convicted of killing her roommate and unfaithful lover, Lina.

During Bill's first meeting with Allison, she asks him to pass a letter to her defense lawyer, Mrs. Leparq. Bill finds Leparq, who tells him that the letter says that Allison heard from her former professor about a man who claimed to be Lina's killer. Leparq refuses to attempt to reopen the case because the new information is just hearsay. Bill lies to Allison, telling her that Leparq will petition the judge to reopen the case.

Bill meets a woman named Virginie and her daughter Maya at his hotel. He asks Virginie to translate the letter, where he learns not only about his daughter's desperation at the sentence, but also about how little faith she has in her father's ability to help with the situation. Bill visits the professor mentioned in the letter, who gives him the phone number of someone who claims to know Lina's killer. Bill and Virginie meet with the girl, who names the killer as Akim.

Combing through social media, Virginie and her girlfriend, Nedjma, print photos of people in the social circles of Allison and Lina. Bill brings the photos to Allison, who identifies Akim. Bill then uses the photo to track down Akim at a housing project, but Bill is beaten by Akim's friends after drawing too much attention, while Akim escapes. The next time that he meets Allison, Bill confesses that he lied about Leparq agreeing to help and that he found Akim but didn't tell the police. Enraged that Bill squandered her one chance for exoneration, Allison tells him to never return to the prison.

Four months later, Bill has remained in Marseille, renting a room in Virginie’s apartment and working on a construction crew. During Allison's one free day out of prison that year, Bill thinks that he reconnects with her, but that evening as she goes back to prison she attempts suicide by trying to hang herself. Bill is devastated but he continues to visit her and as their regular visits continue he reconnects with her. Bill and Virginie also establish a closer relationship and Bill finally thinks his life is back on track. One night at a Olympique de Marseille game, which Bill attends with Maya, he spots Akim and follows him to his truck after the match has finished. Bill approaches Akim and knocks him out and locks him in the basement of their apartment building where Virginie, Maya and Bill live. Bill implores Maya to keep the secret, and she agrees.

Bill pays a private investigator to have a lock of Akim's hair tested against the crime scene's DNA evidence. Akim tells Bill that Allison had hired him to kill Lina and that she paid him with a gold necklace bearing the word "Stillwater." Bill begins to doubt Allison’s innocence. The private investigator suspects that Bill is keeping Akim in the basement, so he poses as a building inspector and asks Virginie if she has noticed any smells or noises from the basement, which she denies, but her suspicions are aroused. Police officers find and detain Bill, but after a fruitless search of the basement, the police question Maya, who lies about not having seen the hostage. After the police leave, Virginie reveals that she had released Akim after finding him in the basement. She demands that Bill move out for having put Maya at risk during Akim's abduction. Bill hugs a crying Maya goodbye, and moves back into the hotel.

Leparq meets with Bill to tell him that new proof will allow the case to be reopened, with a DNA test exonerating Allison, but is confused by Bill's numb reaction.

After Allison and Bill return to Oklahoma to a hero's welcome, Bill asks Allison about the Stillwater necklace that he gave her when she had departed for Marseille. Allison breaks down and admits she hired Akim to evict Lina from their house after they had broken up, but claims that she did not intend for Lina to be killed, as Akim misunderstood her intentions to "put her out" of the apartment. The next morning as they sit on the porch, Allison says everything looks the same in Stillwater while Bill admits everything looks different to him, almost to the point of him not recognizing it anymore.

In 17th-century Japan, Lin Kuei assassins led by Bi-Han kill the warriors of the rival Shirai Ryu ninja clan led by Hanzo Hasashi, including Hanzo's wife and son. In a rage, Hanzo kills the attackers. Hanzo fights Bi-Han but Bi-Han stabs him with his own ''kunai''. A dying Hanzo tells Bi-Han to remember his face and dies, resulting in his soul being condemned to the Netherrealm. Raiden, god of thunder, arrives and takes Hanzo's surviving infant, whom Bi-Han did not notice, to safety.

In the present, the realm of Outworld has defeated Earthrealm in nine of ten tournaments known as "Mortal Kombat"; if Earthrealm loses the tenth tournament, the rules state it will be conquered by Outworld. However, an ancient prophecy states that the "blood of Hanzo Hasashi" will unite a new generation of Earthrealm's champions to prevent Outworld's victory. Aware of this, soul-eating sorcerer Shang Tsung, who has overseen the last nine victories, sends his warriors to kill Earthrealm's champions, identified by a dragon mark, before the next tournament begins. One such champion, a former professional MMA fighter named Cole Young, is attacked alongside his family by Bi-Han, who now calls himself Sub-Zero. However, Special Forces Major Jackson "Jax" Briggs rescues the Youngs, directing them to find his partner, Sonya Blade. Jax stays to battle Sub-Zero but loses his arms in the process.

Cole tracks Sonya to her hideout, where she is interrogating a captive Australian mercenary named Kano. She reveals that she and Jax have been investigating Mortal Kombat's existence and that the dragon mark can be transferred to anyone who kills the original bearer. They are attacked by Shang Tsung's assassin, Syzoth, but Kano kills him with Cole and Sonya's help. They travel to Raiden's temple and meet current Earthrealm champions Liu Kang and Kung Lao before being brought to Raiden, who is critical of the newcomers. They are joined by Jax, whom Raiden rescued and fitted with a set of mechanical arms. Shang Tsung attempts to attack the temple, but is stopped when Raiden shields it from intrusion. While Sonya helps Jax recover, Cole and Kano train with Kang and Lao to unlock their "Arcana", a special power unique to all dragon mark bearers.

During an argument, Kano awakens his arcana, the ability to shoot a laser out of his right eye. Cole is unable to awaken his, despite his persistence. Disappointed with Cole, Raiden sends him back to his family, while revealing that he is a descendant of Hasashi. Shang Tsung gathers his warriors, including Kano's former ally, Kabal, to attack the temple. Kabal convinces Kano to defect and sabotage the shield. During the fray, Jax awakens his arcana, granting him superhuman strength and upgraded arms. Concurrently, the Youngs are attacked by Goro. Cole rouses his arcana, giving him a suit of armor and a set of tonfas. He kills Goro and helps repel the attack on the temple. Shang Tsung and Sub-Zero are infuriated when Raiden discloses Cole's bloodline before he teleports most of the Earthrealm fighters to the Void, a safe space between realms. Lao, however, saves Cole from Sub-Zero and has his soul taken by Shang Tsung.

Cole proposes a plan to force Outworld's champions into a single combat with those from the Earthrealm before neutralizing Sub-Zero together, forcing the tournament that Shang Tsung tried to prevent. Agreeing with the plan, Raiden gives Cole Hanzo's ''kunai'', which still has Hanzo's blood on it, telling him that using it would get Hanzo's spirit to fight alongside him. Raiden transports Cole and his allies to their targets. While defeating Outworld's champions, including Kabal, whom Liu Kang defeats to avenge Kung Lao's death, Sonya kills Kano and acquires his dragon mark, while also getting the ability to fire purple energy blasts as her own arcana, which she also uses to kill Mileena. Sub-Zero abducts Cole's family to lure him into a one-on-one fight. Overpowered by Sub-Zero, Cole uses the ''kunai'' and drains Hanzo's blood left on it, releasing Hanzo as the vengeful specter, Scorpion. Recognizing Cole as his descendant, Scorpion helps him defeat Sub-Zero and free his family before immolating Sub-Zero with hellfire. Thanking Cole for freeing him and requesting that he take care of the Hasashi bloodline, Scorpion departs as Raiden, the other champions, and Shang Tsung arrive.

Shang Tsung vows that, next time, he will bring armies instead of individual fighters as he sends his champions' corpses back to Outworld before Raiden banishes him. Raiden declares his intention to train new warriors in preparation for the next tournament and assigns his current champions to recruit them. Cole then departs to Los Angeles in search of Hollywood for a martial artist and movie star.

''Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu'' is an autobiographical manga that draws on manga artist Junji Ito's personal experience with cats. It features various anecdotes about living with cats, which center on J-kun, a horror manga artist (Ito's stand-in); his fiancée, A-ko (his wife Ayako Ishiguro's stand-in); her family cat, Yon ("Four"); and a Norwegian Forest cat, Mu ("Six").

"Mu Appears" opens with J-kun's move to a new home with A-ko. While J-kun wrestles with his apprehension over living with Yon, A-ko adopts a kitten to keep Yon company. She names the kitten Mu, since he will be the sixth cat her family has kept, with her mother's cat, Goro, being the fifth. J-kun is eventually won over by Mu. In "Yon Attacks," J-kun dreads the arrival of Yon, whom he believes has cursed skull markings on his back. After Yon's stress-induced illness, however, J-kun accepts him as a member of the family. "Battle of the Cat Wand" centers on J-kun's unsuccessful attempts to play with the cats. In "The Events of One Late Night," J-kun tries to bribe the cats to sleep on his bed, rather than A-ko's, to no avail. In "Yon is a Weird Cat," J-kun, while finishing his manga on a tight deadline one night, imagines that Yon transforms into various beings, including a slug, the supernatural snake-like creature ''tsuchinoko'', and an elderly man. To J-kun's surprise, this leads to an encounter that he hopes isn't a hallucination. "Yon's Great Escape" centers on Yon's escape from the house. Both J-kun and A-ko search for him, eventually retrieving him from a storehouse. "King Yon" chronicles Yon's further unsuccessful attempt to escape, his unusual strength, and his position as dominant cat within the household. "In "Mu's Castration," the couple takes Mu to the veterinarian to be neutered. Despite a brief medical scare, Mu survives. "Unidentified Creature" centers on a visit from A-ko's parents and Goro, the timid cat they bring along. J-kun initially mistakes Goro for a spirit, while the other cats quickly take a liking to Goro. In "Tread Not on Poop, Snot, or Cat," J-kun pranks A-ko with fake cat excrement, only to accidentally pick up real cat vomit thinking that it was A-ko's revenge.

A young woman, Allison, sits on a dock at the edge of a foggy lake. She then retreats to a cabin and sits in a room where she looks at a notepad.

The film then moves to Part One: The Bear in the Road. At a remote lake house in the Adirondack Mountains, Gabe and Blair entertain film director Allison, an out-of-town guest and former actress looking for inspiration. Gabe's interest in her quickly becomes obvious, as does his unhappy relationship with his pregnant partner Blair. Blair and Gabe constantly bicker in front of an uncomfortable Allison, with Blair targeting Gabe's lackluster musical career and Gabe criticizing Blair's drinking habits. Allison becomes a part of these arguments, shifting between siding with Blair and Gabe and causing them to become even more aggressive to each other. When Gabe rants against the failings of modern society, Blair becomes upset and threatens to leave after Allison jokingly sides with Gabe's criticism of feminism. Allison awkwardly leaves as Blair and Gabe retreat to their bedroom; Blair accuses Gabe of being sexually attracted to Allison, but then they make up. After Blair falls asleep, Gabe meets Allison for a swim at the lake. Afterwards the two talk, and Gabe admits that the pregnancy with Blair had been an accident. In turn, Allison admits that she had lied about many things she had told him and Blair for no reason. They kiss and begin to have sex, but Blair interrupts them, attacks Gabe, and orders Allison to leave. She and Gabe argue violently until Gabe shoves her against a couch. Realizing that Blair is bleeding, Gabe orders Allison to get their car and drive them to the hospital. As she is driving, Allison is startled by a black bear in the road and swerves, crashing into a tree.

The film switches to Part Two: The Bear by the Boat House. The lake house is now the setting of a film shoot in which Gabe is the director and Allison and Blair are actresses, though their roles in the production are switched, with Allison the scorned wife and Blair the interloper. Gabe and Allison have been married for years, but he is obviously rude and abrasive to her on set and favors Blair, which makes the crew uncomfortable. Gabe continually makes Allison upset by making her believe that he and Blair are having an affair, which they actually are doing in order to make Allison's acting feel more real and intense. However, they go too far and Allison begins drinking heavily, disappearing from the production and requiring the crew to bring her back. When Allison returns drunk to the set, Gabe notices and quietly chastises her in front of the crew, blaming her for demanding to be the lead actress. After repeated failed takes and arguments during the film's climactic argument scene, Allison eventually nails her part but begins fighting and hitting Blair for real. Gabe is delighted by the results, but Allison, still upset, retreats to a room and refuses to come out despite Gabe's annoyance and her friends' support. She orders a cameraman, Baako, to see her; when he arrives, she begins kissing him and pleads to him to lie to her that he loves her. After she returns to the set, the scene is reshot, and Gabe asks Allison to not hit Blair. The scene plays out as intended, but Allison has a genuine, uncontrollable breakdown as she yells at "her husband" that he was supposed to love her, not "Blair." She continues sobbing even after the cameras are off. Gabe consoles her as the uncomfortable crew looks on.

Afterwards, Gabe takes her away to comfort her as the rest of the crew celebrates with a wrap party. Allison tells him that he should love Blair because she is better than her, and that she wishes that they could go back to the way things were before they were famous; she also calls him "Bear." Gabe assures her that there had been no affair with Blair, and that things will be different in the future. After she falls asleep, he leaves to sit with Blair. Allison wakes up alone and tries to find Gabe in a panic, eventually returning to the lake house and having a frightening encounter with a black bear on the way there. Witnessing Gabe and Blair having sex through a window, she becomes distraught as the bear appears behind her. She turns and appears to walk calmly toward it.

The film cuts back to the opening scene, with Allison alone looking at the foggy lake. She returns to the cabin to write, but this time she is seen writing "Black Bear" on the notepad before looking at the viewer.

''Clash of Futures'' depicts the history of Europe between the end of the First World War in 1918 and the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. The multilingual, documentary drama series condenses history into the subjective experience of individuals. It focuses on the fate of thirteen people from nine nations. The protagonists include the Communist Hans Beimler, the silent film star Pola Negri, the later Auschwitz commander Rudolf Höß and the French anarchist May Picqueray. In addition, there is a continuation of the story of the Russian child soldier Marina Yurlova and the war reporter Charles Edward Montague from ''14 - Diaries of the Great War'' (2014).

The film begins with Kanyakumari (Sneha) and her son Shakthi being ambushed by some foreigners. When one of the foreigners beats her son, Kanya gets enraged and plucks out the foreigner's larynx, which is noticed by the police nearby. Kanya is arrested and sent to jail for 16 years.

We are taken to the present, where Shakthi (Dhanush) and Puncture (KPY Sathish) are robbing an MMA academy. The owner of the academy, Nilan (Naveen Chandra), gets upset when he finds out that his trophy is missing and calls the police in to investigate. The police, in turn, call Shakthi and Puncture, only for the two to become informers for the police and find out the robbers who robbed Nilan's trophy (the police officers do not know that it was Shakthi and Puncture who robbed the trophy). They are forced to work with Sadhana Sha (Mehreen Pirzada), the owner of their opposite house and with whom they have an enmity. Later in the film, it is revealed that Shakthi and Puncture robbed the academy, knowing the fact that Sadhana was kept in charge of it, hence humiliating her. Meanwhile, Kanya is released from jail and follows Nilan, planning to kill him. She follows him until his gym, where she sees Shakthi, who she thought, got killed when the foreigner hit him. Nilan finds out that she is attempting to kill him and tries to capture her but in vain. When Kanya comes to Shakthi's house in searching for him, Sadhana, unbeknownst to her, sets up Kanya and leaves her to get attacked because Nilan, her boss, instructed her to do so. When thugs arrive at Kanya's location to kill her, Shakthi comes to her rescue and, in the process, finds out that she is his mother. He then finds out his past.

Dhiraviyaperumal (Dhanush) is a skilled Adimurai warrior and Shakthi's father, who is taught the art by his master Muthaiah Asaan (Nassar), who is also Nilan's (actual name Nilapparai) father. Nilan's father, who himself is a skilled Adimurai warrior, keeps degrading him because Nilan is not able to learn Adimurai, which leaves Nilan frustrated. Even though Dhiraviyaperumal and Nilan are friends, on hearing his father continuously compares Dhiraviyaperumal's feats with his own, Nilan gets agitated. When Nilan is forced to fight Kanya, who also stays in the village, and she defeats him, he is very humiliated, and he leaves the village.

Dhiraviyaperumal soon realizes that Adimurai is only known to their village and is not known to Tamil Nadu when his disciple commits suicide when he is refused the job of a police officer. He decides to open a school that teaches Adimurai and gets the minister to agree. Meanwhile, Nilan comes back from abroad as a kickboxing champion and plans to recruit people to learn kickboxing. On confronting the villagers, he beats a boy, which leads to a fight between Nilan and Dhiraviyaperumal; if Nilan wins, he can teach kickboxing, and if Dhiraviyaperumal wins, Nilan has to fall at the feet of the boy he hit and ask for forgiveness. Dhiraviyaperumal defeats Nilan, and in retaliation, Nilan kills Muthaiah Asaan and poisons the food of the village. He then burns down the village and Dhiraviyaperumal to death. Kanya escapes with her son Shakthi, leading to the events in the beginning.

Shakthi swears revenge and enrolls in the MMA event organized by Nilan. He is trained by his mother, Kanya, in the art of Adimurai. On the day of the event, Nilan uses a convict from Thailand who has killed four people in the ring to fight with Shakthi. Shakthi defeats him, but the convict stabs Shakthi in the right shoulder.

The Straw Hats receive an invitation to an island resort on the Grand Line run by Baron Omatsuri, and the crew travels to the island intent on relaxing and having fun. The Baron welcomes them to the resort and encourages them to enjoy themselves, but only after they complete ''The Trials Of Hell''. The crew is hesitant, but Luffy accepts the challenge. The Straw Hats (represented by Usopp) win the first trial, but the outraged Baron demands they compete in another challenge. Luffy, Chopper, and Robin wait at the resort while the rest of the crew participates in the second trial.

Robin questions Muchigoro, one of Baron's crewmates, about a flower on the island. Muchigoro mentions something about the ''Lily Carnation'' being at the island's summit before running off. Luffy and Chopper wander off, both meeting other pirates who had previously arrived and participated in the trials. Luffy receives an ominous warning about Baron planning to split up his crew. Chopper learns about Baron's past, but right before he figures out the mystery, he is stricken with an arrow shot by Baron.

After a hard and traumatizing battle, Luffy manages to defeat Baron and save his crew from the Lily Carnation with helps from other pirates on the island. Baron cries for his friends that were lost and how he is alone. He had been fooling himself for years with the false constructs of his crew created by the Lily Carnation.

Each of his dead crewmates speak with him, telling him that they were happy to be remembered, but not with his corrupted charade. They apologize for leaving him alone for so long but believe it would be for the best if he forgets the night they died and finds new friends. Luffy lays exhausted on the ground while the crew all appear unharmed with no memory of the incident. The Straw Hats gather around Luffy, wondering how he can sleep in such a place, and Luffy laughs.

Two years has passed since the EL-Diver Incident, an event that almost destroyed the Gundam Battle Nexus Online Game until it was resolved by the force group known as "Build Divers", and soon after more EL-Divers were discovered. In order to make the game secure, a newer version of the game was rolled out in order to prevent the same incident from happening again and with newer experiences that would make the gameplay more immersive to players. The story focuses on Hiroto Kuga, a high schooler who is a rogue mercenary diver, who goes in the game and wanders throughout its countless dimensions and helping out forces and divers whether its insistence or hire. Although he chooses to be without being affiliated with anyone and refuses rewards and force invites and isolates himself from other people even IRL. Despite his wandering solo diver status, he always searching and yearning to be reunited with a mysterious girl from his past named Eve, who was in fact the very first EL-Diver to appear in the game. But after a special request mission, Hiroto is united with three other active divers in a strange world named "Eldora" and forms the Force group "BUILD DiVERS" in what appears to be just another GBN gamespace event, until they learn the truth about Eldora and its consequences not only for GBN, but for the entire world.

The story begins with the disappearance of the young Halyna (Anna Melo) in 1988, in the fictional city of Brígida (Ukrainian: Бріжіда), founded by Ukrainian immigrants in the countryside of Southern Brazil.

At the time of the disappearance, the town celebrated Ivana-Kupala, a feast with pagan origins and linked to fertility rites that was incorporated later into the calendar of Orthodox Christians, and in fact is held at the turn of 6 to 7 July. The tragedy caused the feast to be banned from the city's calendar, and thirty years later, when tradition is resumed, mysterious events happen again.

James Sim discovers a dying man in the park. The man's final word is, "Samedi." Later, Sim reads an article about a suicide that happened on the White House lawn, a note signed by "Samedi" is left at the scene. Sim soon finds himself hunted by mysterious men. He is eventually kidnapped and brought to a strange asylum, called the verisylum.

An official of the verisylum claims that lying is an illness specific to modern life, and informs Sim of the strange and seemingly arbitrary rules that everyone inside the building must follow. Sim meets a woman in yellow, she says her name is Grieve, but then multiple women in the verisylum claim to be named Grieve. In spite of Grieve's (who also refers to herself as Violet and Anastasia at other times, and may have a twin) lies, Sim falls in love with her.

Outside the verisylum, suicides continue to occur daily, each accompanied by a strange notes signed by Samedi. Sim must uncover the cryptic meanings behind the verisylum and the mysterious figure of Samedi before the end of the seventh day, when it is predicted a catastrophe of biblical proportions will occur.

Fishing and picnicking with her family near their home at Niagara Falls, seven-year-old Abby sees a young boy, one eye covered by a bloody bandage, hiding in the woods. He gestures her to be quiet, but a couple drive up and drag him away, throwing him into the trunk of their car. Abby runs back to her family by the lakeside, but does not tell them what she has witnessed. Later she tells her sister, Laure, who does not believe her.

Many years later, the adult Abby returns to Niagara Falls following the death of her mother. Abby has had various problems in her adult life, and among other things is a compulsive liar. Her mother ran a motel called The Rainbow, but the business is no longer viable. Laure wants to sell the motel to local businessman Charlie Lake, whose family has effectively owned the town for three generations, but Abby is reluctant to do this. She is still obsessed with the abduction of the “one-eyed boy.”

Abby unofficially moves back into the motel and starts to investigate the mystery, the local police having declined to get involved. After viewing microfiches at the local library, she finds a picture and a name, Alex Moulin. Alex was the son of a husband-and-wife magical act, the Magnificent Moulins, a huge local attraction at the time. Their act involved a live tiger. Alex Moulin disappeared around the time that Abby saw the boy in the woods, and was believed to have committed suicide by jumping over the Falls. Following his disappearance, his parents moved to the American side.

Abby meets local diving expert, conspiracy theorist and podcaster, Walter Bell, who is of the opinion that Alex did not commit suicide, as no trace of his body was ever found. Walter says that in his experience as a diver this is extremely unusual. Walter also says that Charlie Lake had a predilection for young boys, and that Alex was not the first to disappear. He believes the powerful Lake family covered up the disappearances.

In order to gain access to Charlie’s office, Abby pretends she has signed the papers authorising the sale of the motel (she has in point of fact signed them in disappearing ink). While at the office she sees a photo of the Moulins. With them is a woman who was one of the people who captured Alex at the lake. Abby finds out that the woman is called Bev Mole, and her husband Gerry (the other person at the lake) is now paraplegic. Bev worked with the Moulins as an animal trainer. She was once a regular gambler at a casino near The Rainbow Motel, but was eventually banned.

Abby obtains Bev Mole’s phone number, and pretends she is calling from the casino. She says the casino mistakenly placed a block on Bev’s account, and they’d like to welcome her back, including free accommodation at The Rainbow Motel. Bev accordingly checks in, with her wheelchair using husband.

When Bev goes to the casino, Abby enters her room and finds Gerry shut in a closet, his wheelchair chained so he can’t escape. But before Abby can talk to him about Alex, Bev returns, angry because she believes the casino were trying to “entrap” her. Abby hides as Bev leaves with her husband.

Abby uses her sister’s passport to travel to the American side, to see the Magnificent Moulins magic show, in which Mr. Moulin enters a cage and is apparently changed into a tiger. She approaches the couple after the show, produces a photo of Alex, and tells them to meet her across the street in the diner. The Moulins show up, assuming that Abby is trying to blackmail them. Mrs. Moulin tells Abby their son was “weak” and when he was unable to work in their act with the tiger, she hints that they fed him to the animal. Then she laughs and says it is all a lie.

Trying to return to the Canadian side, Abby’s stolen passport is queried and she is arrested. At the police station, with her sister and family attorney, various lies she has told about her recent past are exposed. With no one believing her about Alex, and no actual proof that the boy did not commit suicide, Abby’s investigations appear to have come to nothing.

However, determined to get to bottom of Alex’s disappearance, she finds out Bev Mole’s address and goes to her house, watching till Bev leaves. Inside the house, Abby finds Gerry chained up as before. He tells her that they kidnapped Alex, took numerous photos of the injuries he had sustained from the tiger attack (including the loss of an eye) and intended to use them to blackmail the Moulins.

Later, acting on Abby’s report, the police raid the house, rescue Gerry and arrest his wife. In the house they find the photos the Moles had taken of Alex's injuries.

In the following months, the case receives huge media coverage. Charlie Lake is arrested, although he claims he is innocent of killing Alex; similarly, the Moulins plead ignorance and innocence in the disappearance of their son. Abby has moved on and is working reception in another, more up-market, motel. A man checks in, wearing a black leather eye patch over his left eye. He is around the age Alex would have been, and bears a passing resemblance to him. He looks at Abby quizzically and asks if perhaps they've met before, as she seems somehow familiar. Abby is dumbstruck, unsure how to answer. Noticing a newspaper on the desk with Charlie’s picture, he tells Abby that Lake is not lying and states that in fact, he saved that boy’s life. Abby stares after him in wonderment as he leaves the reception area to check into his room.

The film opens with a series of vignettes introducing Rosie, a young Kwakwaka’wakw woman, and Áila (Blackfoot and Sámi). Rosie is pregnant and living with her violent boyfriend and his mother. Áila visits a doctor to have an IUD inserted. After her appointment Áila encounters Rosie, battered and barefoot in the rain, having just fled her boyfriend, who is screaming at her down the street. Áila, unsure of what to do, offers Rosie shelter in her nearby apartment.  

Once inside, Rosie is reserved and hesitant to hand over her clothes to dry. While changing in the bathroom, she steals a bottle of Áila's anxiety medication, and later her wallet. Rosie slowly opens up, revealing that she was recently phased out of foster care, but remains adamant they not call the police. Áila insists they should at least find a women's shelter for Rosie to spend the night. She eventually agrees to consider going to a safe house.

On the way, Rosie becomes good-humoured, telling the cab driver she and Áila are sisters, and that Áila is on her way to enter in rehab for her drinking, much to Áila's bemusement. She tells the story of their father dying, possibly mirroring her own truth. At Rosie's stop, Áila secretly follows her into an apartment complex, and witnesses her exchanging the anxiety medication for cash. Back in the cab, Áila quietly confronts Rosie over the drug exchange, who turns hostile and accuses Áila of looking down on her. As they reach the safe house, Áila refuses to go in with Rosie until she tells the truth. Rosie insists she was only selling, not using, and pays for the cab after Áila realizes her wallet is gone.

The two are greeted by Cat (Charlie Hannah) and Sophie (Barbara Eve Harris). Áila explains what happened, and Rosie details some of her boyfriend's abuse, but restates that she won't go the police, due to him being on bail, and her belief that they won't treat her with respect. She also does not wish to join her grandparents in Port Hardy, for fear of being judged as a young single mother. Sophie and Cat offer Rosie a room at the safe house for as long as she needs, and access to social services. After a moment alone with her unborn child in the bathroom, Rosie tells the others that she wants to return home to her boyfriend, downplaying the abuse she shared earlier, and insisting that he won't be angry if she returns right away. On the way out, Sophie assures the frustrated Áila that it's normal for victims of abuse to need several tries before gaining the courage to leave their abuser, and gives Áila money for the taxi.

Áila and Rosie share a quiet ride back to Rosie's apartment. Rosie asks Áila if she's mad at her. Áila says she's not, and tells Rosie she’ll be a good mother. Rosie says Áila will too. At the apartment, Áila tearfully watches Rosie walk away before driving off as night falls over East Vancouver.

William Drysdale was a concert violinist before the City outlawed music and succumbed to chaos. He makes his living as an epitaphorist, writing epitaphs for the gravestones of the dead, as well as those expecting to die soon. His epitaphs are often fictional inventions to provide the deceased's loved ones with a sense of meaning. William has an eight-year-old daughter named Molly. Molly is mute, but extremely intelligent. William and Molly play a game of intricate riddles to keep their imaginations alive.

The City has an unofficial curfew, encouraged by cryptic and ominous slogans by the government, where no one is safe out of their homes after 10 p.m. When an old friend claims he has information about William's wife who mysteriously vanished years ago, William is forced to go out after the curfew. Molly is watched by kindly elderly neighbors, the Gibbons. William meets with his friend, and discovers a secret gathering of artists and intellectuals who each night drink and talk about a secret revolution that happens naturally and requires no conscious effort. William is disturbed by the group, and, after receiving a file with documents about his wife's disappearance, he leaves.

Travelling across the city late at night, William must hide in the shadows to avoid danger. Meanwhile, Molly puts on a puppet show with Mr. Gibbons.

In Quebec, the Hipponomes are a family of refugees from Kabylia, headed by grandmother Méni. Méni’s grandchildren are Étéocle, Polynice, Ismène and Antigone; whose parents were killed before the family left their village. While Antigone achieves straight As in high school, Polynice descends into a life of crime with the street gang, the Habibis. One day, Polynice and Étéocle are playing jacks with friends when the police show up; Étéocle is shot and killed and Polynice is arrested for assaulting an officer in the aftermath. Through Antigone's friend Hémon, the Hipponomes meet Hémon's father Christian, a local politician. Christian tells them that with Polynice's criminal record and lack of citizenship, he will likely be deported. Antigone, concerned Polynice will never survive in their home country, decides to plot a prison escape. She reasons as a minor, she will escape jail time and pressures Ismène, an aspiring hairdresser, to cut her hair. Now resembling Polynice, Antigone visits the jail with Méni. There, Antigone and Polynice quickly trade clothes, and Polynice leaves with Méni while Antigone goes to Polynice's jail cell.

The prison officials discover the ploy; Antigone is arrested for aiding an escape and transferred to a women's prison. Méni is also arrested for aiding in the escape, to Antigone's horror. A police officer tells Antigone, Étéocle was also a member of the Habibis. Antigone intends to plead guilty, but the judge questions her understanding of the gravity of the situation and assigns her legal aid, with a lawyer named O'Neil. O'Neil warns Antigone about the dangers of a criminal record and shows her the debate on social media, where users are questioning if Antigone herself, is a Habibi. Antigone is upset and asserts she is only motivated by family loyalty, accepting O'Neil's representation. Hémon quits school to organize rallies in support of Antigone; supporters pack the courtroom and disrupt the proceedings with cellphone ringtones (identical to Hémon's ringtone), and Antigone professes her heart's desire to help her brother.

After Méni is bailed out of jail, Antigone's words about her heart go viral. Buoyed by the support, O'Neil asks the judge for a suspended sentence; however, the prosecutor calls an unexpected witness, Polynice. Polynice was arrested the previous night at a bar. Antigone becomes hysterical, questioning her brother why he risked what the family had sacrificed for, and disparaging the ceremonies of the court. The judge tells Antigone she is risking her chance at Canadian citizenship. Christian takes Antigone away from jail and offers to serve as her guardian, as Méni has decided to go back to her village with Polynice. Ismène is unwilling to go with them, still desiring a loan to start her own salon. Antigone and Hémon have sex. Later, Antigone, Méni and Polynice go to the airport, passing a young refugee family resembling themselves when they arrived. Antigone hears Hémon's ringtone and turns around.

After having sex with his wife, seemingly nice guy Frank is having trouble because he's out of his meds. In the meantime, his friend Travis (Brandon Heitkamp) asks him if he'll ride along as backup while he does a job. Frank is reluctant, but agrees ("This is the last time!"). Meeting up with two other men, Mickey (Tom Sizemore) and Niko (Russ Russo), we find out Frank and Mickey have a history. Two other men show up, and we find out it's a drug buy. After some racist banter, Mickey and Niko shoot both men and steal the drugs.

Frank is fighting with his wife, Gina (Amanda Clayton), because of stress over witnessing the shootings and because he still can't get his meds. He meets Travis in a bar and tells him he is going to the police. After returning home, he finds Niko is already there, on the back porch talking to his wife. Frank flips out and tells his wife not to talk to strangers. Pissed, Gina takes the truck and goes to visit her friend, Travis' wife. Once there, Niko shows up again, and with Frank on the phone, Niko abducts her.

Frank goes to his father, Charlie (Ray "Boom-Boom" Mancini), a retired police officer, and asks him for help. They are estranged, because Frank has a history with alcohol, drugs, and violence. When Charlie refuses to help, Frank attacks the bouncer and beats him. Now we begin to find out about "Bad Frank." Frank begins drinking, and we learn through several different voices that Frank used to be some kind of enforcer for Mickey.

In order to force Mickey to give him back his abducted wife, Frank abducts Mickey's daughter Crystal (Lynn Mancinelli). After a phone call to Mickey, Frank and Crystal get drunk, and we find out more about Frank's association with Mickey. Mickey meanwhile has taken Travis prisoner, and shows him a cellphone video of Travis having sex with Gina. Mickey threatens to tell Frank that Travis has had sex with his wife, and reveals more of Bad Frank's past.

Finally Frank and Mickey meet up to exchange hostages. Frank has seen the video, and tells Mickey that he has taken everything from him. He breaks Crystal's neck; Travis bumps Mickey so that Mickey has to shoot Travis first, which gives Frank time to get to Mickey. Frank beats Mickey to death, then, covered in blood, tells Gina he wants to try to start over. The film ends with Frank driving off with Gina crying, still tied up in the back of his truck.

A minor celebrity on campus, Katie uses her fraudulent disease for both emotional and financial gain, raising money through crowdfunding campaigns, while collecting friends, supporters and an unsuspecting girlfriend, Jennifer Ellis.

Katie learns a university bursary she has been counting on is in jeopardy unless she can provide medical records of her illness by the end of the week. She enlists the help of a medical resident to forge the documents, but she struggles to produce the $2,000 he demands without raising suspicion.

A pair of twins who travel across different worlds arrive in Teyvat, but attempt to leave after finding the nation of Khaenri'ah under cataclysmic siege. However, they are separated by a god who takes one twin and seals away the other. The sealed twin, referred to as the "Traveler", awakens five hundred years later and meets Paimon, and the two embark on a journey to find the missing twin.

The duo first arrive in the city of Mondstadt, which has been under attack from a dragon called Stormterror. They meet with Venti, a local bard who wishes to calm Stormterror, who is actually Dvalin, one of the ancient protectors of Mondstadt. Retrieving a stolen holy lyre from the Fatui, Venti attempts to calm Dvalin down with the lyre, but the dragon is manipulated into attacking him by the Abyss Order. The encounter also reveals Venti to be the Anemo Archon Barbatos, and they pursue Dvalin and free him from the Abyss Order's influence. After solving the crisis, Venti is ambushed by Fatui Harbinger La Signora, who steals his Gnosis, the symbol of an Archon's power.

Venti advises the Traveler to travel to Liyue next to meet Rex Lapis, the Geo Archon at a ceremony. However, at the ceremony Rex Lapis is apparently killed, and his body is hidden away. Needing to escape suspicion, the Traveler gets help from funeral parlor consultant Zhongli and Fatui Harbinger Childe; the latter manipulates the Traveler into sowing conflict between the Qixing, the organization of trade heads who administer Liyue Harbor, and the Adepti, ancient guardians who defend Liyue. Childe discovers the location of Rex Lapis' body, but is unable to find the Gnosis and believes Rex Lapis is still alive. To lure out the Archon, Childe resurrects an ancient god, but the combined forces of the Traveler, the Qixing, and the Adepti defeat it, after which the groups agree to usher Liyue into a new age. Afterwards, the Traveler discovers that Zhongli is Rex Lapis, who gives his Gnosis to Signora as part of a discreet contract with the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon and leader of the Fatui. Zhongli explains he faked his death so he could step down from his role as Archon, and their defense of Liyue proved they did not need his protection.

The Traveler then returns to Mondstadt and meets a man named Dainsleif who is targeting the Abyss Order. Together they investigate their plot to create an artificial god to topple Celestia, but as they attempt to thwart it, they are confronted by the Traveler's sibling. They reveal themselves to be the leader of the Abyss Order, consisting of the people of Khaenri'ah cursed to become monsters, and reveal Dainsleif was a guard of Khaenri'ah cursed to wander the world. Dainsleif chases after their sibling but the Traveler is unable to follow.

While looking for a way into Inazuma, the Traveler learns more of the Vision Hunt Decree being enforced to confiscate the Visions of those in Inazuma, starting a civil war. Arriving in the nation, the Traveler agrees to help the resistance army abolish it. They learn that the Fatui manipulated the Shogun into signing it and raid a Fatui facility in response, but are defeated by Fatui Harbinger Scaramouche. They are saved by shrine maiden Yae Miko, who tells them that the "Raiden Shogun" is actually a puppet created by Ei to rule Inazuma while she retreated into her mind. The Traveler confronts Signora at the Shogun's palace and challenges her to a duel and emerges victorious. Signora is executed by the Raiden Shogun, and the Traveler with help from Yae Miko defeat Ei, who repeals the decree, ending the war. Miko reveals that Ei's Gnosis was entrusted to her, and that she relinquished it to Scaramouche in order to spare the Traveler.

The Traveler reunites with Dainsleif, who failed to find their twin. Seeing a vision of their sibling attempting to restore Khaenri'ah, they are torn between helping their sibling and defeating the Abyss Order. Dainsleif declares that the Traveler must choose before departing.

A mysterious hacker known as CHIBI has been offering classified information to Iranian and Russian intelligence, which then cause a series of attacks on special operations units stationed in Argentina and Syria, respectively. Additionally, a German police officer working undercover in a drug case was killed in a mugging by Iron Syndicate operatives using information from the hacker. The demonstrated attacks then enable the three parties to participate in a secret silent auction to be held by CHIBI in London.

Meanwhile, Lawrence Fung is a hacker working for the red team of the recently built IC Cloud, a cloud database storing classified information gathered by the U.S. intelligence community. His job is to exploit any vulnerabilities in the database and patch them. However, he is revealed to be working with CHIBI for ideological reasons, and has been helping him with gathering actionable intelligence for the recent attacks.

U.S. senator Deborah Dixon withdraws her support for a foreign policy bill, which would have allowed the construction of a U.S. military base in Poland to counter Russian aggression. President Jack Ryan is convinced that the senator had changed her mind due to her connections with the Chinese, who stand to benefit due to the Belt and Road Initiative, an extensive trade route plan spanning Eurasia which has been bankrolling several interested Western businessmen including Dixon's husband, billionaire Aaron Gage. He discreetly orders an investigation into Dixon's finances.

Hendley Associates financial analyst Jack Ryan Jr. is tasked with the Dixon investigation. He finds out that Dixon's stepson, businessman Christopher Gage, does business with Chinese interests in Poland. He travels there, accompanied by Polish intelligence officer Liliana Pilecki, to look for illegal activities in Gage's businesses under the guise of researching for investment opportunities in the country. Initially finding nothing incriminating, they later investigate a Gage-owned warehouse in the Gdańsk shipyards. They are then abducted and tortured for information by Mathieu Cluzet, a French drug smuggler working for the Iron Syndicate (an organization Ryan had tangled with in previous novel ''Line of Sight''). Afterwards, Cluzet throws Ryan and Pilecki out of his ship in the middle of the Baltic Sea. While Jack is later rescued, his partner drowns.

Meanwhile, in Angola, a local rebel force attacks an offshore oil rig under construction by the Chinese. Pressed by his superiors for retribution, Chinese intelligence officer Chen Xing turns to CHIBI for information about the rebel force's whereabouts. The hacker then orders Fung to pinpoint the location of the rebels. Using CHIBI's information, the PLA stages a surgical attack on the Angolan rebels, enabling Xing and Chinese intelligence to enter the auction.

The attack on the rebels attracts the attention of Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Foley. She later finds out that the recent attacks in Argentina, Germany, Syria, and now Angola may have been the result of an intelligence breach within the IC Cloud. The cloud's head of security, Amanda Watson, imparts her suspicions about her colleague Fung, which leads Foley to track him down. However, CHIBI finds out about the manhunt and orders Fung's death, disguised as a suicide. Foley's investigation into the breach prematurely ends.

After recuperating in Virginia, Jack travels to Peru to honor his recently deceased friend Cory Chase's wishes. Still distraught over Liliana's death, he later discovers an illegal mining operation led by Cluzet's unnamed brother. Along with former U.S. Army Ranger Rick Sands, whom he had met in the area, Jack dispatches him and his men and then rescues the miners taken against their will.

Later reunited with his Campus colleagues, Jack tracks down the leader of the Iron Syndicate, known as the Czech, in the former Czech Republic. He instead reveals CHIBI's plot about the auction of an algorithmic key that would unlock the entire IC Cloud in a tech conference in London. The Campus, as well as Foley, scramble into London to track down CHIBI, who is revealed to be Watson. While the auction is still successful, Foley devises a plan to penetrate the Chinese, Iranian, and Russian intelligence agencies, while Watson is later sentenced to prison.

President Ryan informs Dixon about her stepson's association with the Chinese, which is by smuggling drugs around Europe and then laundering the dirty money produced into the senator's charities. After being informed of her brief investigation into Hendley Associates, he blackmails the senator into passing an anticorruption bill instead of being disgraced from politics. Meanwhile, Foley works on dismantling the Iron Syndicate, now deemed a national security threat. Gage is found dead in the Gdańsk shipyards, while the Czech is killed by a sniper working for Polish intelligence. Jack tracks down Cluzet in Libya and kills him in revenge for Liliana's death.

Melinda and Vic Van Allen live with their young daughter Trixie in Little Wesley, Louisiana. Vic has retired early after developing guidance chips for combat drones, and his complicated relationship with Melinda is held together by a precarious arrangement: they sleep apart and Melinda takes lovers openly, even in their family home, while Vic finds solace in raising his large collection of snails. Their open marriage is no secret to their concerned friends, and Vic grows increasingly jealous, while Melinda laments his lack of passion.

Melinda invites her latest lover, Joel, to a neighbour's party. Alone with Joel, Vic tells him that he murdered Melinda's previous lover Martin, who has recently disappeared. The story spreads through their circle of friends, raising the suspicions of noir writer Don Wilson. Joel comes to dinner with the Van Allen family, and Vic elaborates in private that he killed Martin with a hammer, frightening Joel into leaving town. A TV news report reveals that Martin’s body has been found shot to death, and a suspect is arrested.

Vic confronts Melinda after she gives money to Charlie, her new lover and piano teacher. She invites Charlie to a friend's pool party and introduces him to Vic, toying with his jealousy. Rain sends everyone inside, leaving Vic and Charlie alone in the water. After Melinda discovers Charlie's body drowned in the pool, the party is questioned by police, and Melinda is quick to accuse Vic of murdering Charlie. He later asks if she is scared of him, and she says she is not as "I'm the one you killed for".

Don's wife Kelly tells Vic that her husband and Melinda have been accusing him of Charlie's murder. Vic discovers they have hired a private investigator to follow him, and confronts Don in front of Don’s family. Melinda reconnects with an old boyfriend, Tony, and Vic overhears their conversation suggesting they will move to Brazil, taking Trixie with them. She invites Tony to dinner with Vic and takes him to her bedroom, furthering Vic's jealousy.

Vic lures Tony into his car and drives him to a secluded spot he and Melinda share, overlooking a rocky gorge. He throws stones at Tony, causing him to fall down the hill to his death, and sinks his body in the creek. Melinda takes Vic and their daughter on a picnic to the same spot. Vic gives her a collection of photographs he has surreptitiously taken of her as a testament to his love, but spots Tony’s body resurfaced in the creek. Returning home, he offers to go back to the spot in the morning to retrieve Melinda's lost scarf. She notifies Don, but invites Vic to share her bed that night.

The next day, Vic bikes to the creek to deal with Tony's body, but is caught in the act by Don. He drives away, pursued by Vic, who falls off his bike into the car's path; texting recklessly, Don swerves to avoid Vic but drives off a cliff and is killed. At home, Melinda finds Tony’s wallet in one of Vic's snail vivaria. She packs a suitcase to leave, which Trixie throws in the pool, insisting they stay. Vic arrives home, where Melinda tells him that she noticed Tony's body, but has burned his wallet. In closing, Trixie sings along to "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing"

Still traumatized by her persistent love for Suh and the secret she's forced to keep, Ren has become a loner, compulsively hoarding objects she steals from the colony's recycling systems. She regularly visits God's City on surreptitious research missions.

One day, a young man named Sung-Soo arrives at the colony from the wilderness, claiming to be Suh's grandson. Shaken by the realization that Hak-Kun's group survived, Ren and Mac attempt to integrate Sung-Soo into the colony. Trouble arises when Sung-Soo forces his way into Ren's house and discovers it so full of junk as to be unlivable. Claiming to be concerned for Ren's welfare, Sung-Soo threatens to reveal her mental illness if she doesn't seek help. When she refuses to act, Sung-Soo leads the entire colony to forcibly clean out Ren's house. Deep in the basement, the colonists discover a coffin containing Suh's preserved body, the memory of which Ren had repressed.

The distraught colonists accuse Ren of murdering Suh. To clear her name, Ren broadcasts the video of Suh's death, revealing the deception she and Mac maintained. While the colonists escort Mac and Ren to be imprisoned pending trial, sudden explosions destroy the colony's vital infrastructure. Sung-Soo appears and murders Mac in revenge for banishing him and his family from a comfortable life in the colony. Other survivors attack, acting on Sung-Soo's pre-arranged plan to destroy the colony and return to the wilderness with a few people designated as vital.

Ren flees into God's City. By placing her faith in its creators and removing her protective equipment, Ren adapts to the environment inside the City and passes several trials as she works her way up through the megastructure. At the top, where Suh died twenty years before, Ren enters the final room and discovers an alien body lying on a slab. Evidence in the room suggests that other Pathfinders from other worlds have repeatedly visited the structure thanks to the plants acting as beacons. Having finally laid aside her burdens, Ren replaces the body on the slab, awaiting the next Pathfinders.

Technology

The colony uses 3D printing to produce almost all of its needs, including building materials, equipment, clothing, food and medicines. The minerals used by the printers are mined in the mountains surrounding the colony, and extracted from the colony's discarded material using the Masher, a recycling machine.

The colonists adapt themselves to live on the planet without environmental suits using biotechnology and genetic engineering. This enables them to breathe the planet's atmosphere and defend themselves against harmful microbes and allergens. They enhance themselves with chips that monitor their health, and neural implants that connect them to the colony's network. With the implants they can record and playback what they see, hear and feel, and communicate with other colonists.

Five years after the events of ''Digimon Adventure tri.'', Tai and the other DigiDestined are approaching adulthood; however, Tai and Matt still remain undecided about their future goals. The DigiDestined later meet Menoa Bellucci, a professor at Columbia University in New York City, and Kyotaro Imura, her bodyguard. Menoa claims that Eosmon is targeting DigiDestined around the world by robbing both them and their Digimon partners of their consciousness. With Menoa's help, Tai, Matt, Izzy, T.K., and their Digimon fight Eosmon on the Internet.

When Tai and Matt fuse their Digimon into Omnimon, their form falls apart, allowing Eosmon to escape. In the real world, Tai and Matt find countdown rings on their Digivices. Menoa explains the Digivices are powered by the infinite potential of children, and because Tai and Matt are growing up with their potential fulfilled, they have a time limit before they are separated from their Digimon forever. She also warns them that Digivolving will accelerate the countdown. While Izzy examines Eosmon's gems, Matt suspects Imura is involved with Eosmon, and asks Davis, Yolei, Cody and Ken to investigate Menoa's job in New York. Meanwhile, Gennai visits Tai and Agumon, corroborating Menoa's statement.

After Eosmon leaves Mimi unconscious, Matt gives Tai and Izzy prepaid mobile phones out of suspicion they are being tracked and also shows them a news article revealing that Menoa used to have a Digimon partner.

Izzy is sent a link to a live stream video of T.K. and Kari held hostage, prompting Tai and Matt to rescue them, while Joe goes missing. By the time they arrive, T.K. and Kari are already unconscious from Eosmon. On the way, Matt confronts Imura, who reveals he is an FBI agent investigating Menoa, and he realizes that Menoa orchestrated the kidnappings and Eosmon as a distraction to target Izzy for the list of DigiDestined. Realizing this as well, Izzy texts Tai with the coordinates to Menoa's location in the Digital World, before she renders him unconscious.

In the Digital World, Menoa confirms that she lost her Digimon partner, Morphomon, prematurely from growing up, and discovered Eosmon's digi-egg during the recent aurora. To prevent the other DigiDestined from experiencing loss, she has captured their consciousness to allow them to be with their Digimon partners as children forever. Menoa sends a swarm of Eosmon clones to the real world to kidnap more DigiDestined, sparking battles worldwide. Tai, Matt, and their Digimon resolve to stop Menoa even if it quickens their separation, and Agumon and Gabumon fuse into Omnimon to fight her and the Eosmon clones. After Menoa biomerges with Eosmon, Eosmon cuts Omnimon into pieces, causing it to split again. Tai and Matt are assaulted by the DigiDestined and their Digimon partners, but Tai grabs Kari's whistle and blows into it, awakening and turning them back to normal. While the DigiDestined and their Digimon partners join the battle, Tai, Matt, and their Digimon make one final Digivolution, forming Agumon (Bond of Courage) and Gabumon (Bond of Friendship). The two Digimon defeat Eosmon, with Menoa finding closure with Morphomon.

After the battle, Imura arrests Menoa. Tai and Matt spend their remaining time with Agumon and Gabumon respectively, until they vanish and their Digivices turn into stone. The next spring, Tai and Matt move on with their lives and pursue their dream careers, under the belief that they may see their Digimon partners again in the future.

Shortly after Shiv and Tom's wedding, Kendall is in a rehab clinic in Iceland, but is called away within 48 hours of his stay to give a public statement regarding his decision to back down from his hostile takeover of Waystar RoyCo. Still traumatized and disoriented after the fatal car crash in England, Kendall struggles to offer a coherent response, but Karolina instructs him to simply say, "I saw their plan, and my dad's plan was better."

The Roy siblings, who are unaware of Kendall's accident and still feel betrayed by his takeover attempt, watch his interview with confusion at his strange appearance. Shiv and Tom watch from a yacht where they are spending their honeymoon, which they decide to cut short so they can attend to family matters (including Tom's new role in the company). Roman and Gerri, meanwhile, watch the statement from a Japanese hospital, where they are visiting those injured in the explosion that occurred during the botched satellite launch that Roman oversaw. Roman evades most questions during a press conference regarding the incident.

Kendall returns to New York and sits down with Logan and Karl in Waystar's offices to assess the extent of Stewy and Sandy's threat. Kendall privately confides to Logan some of the personal information he revealed to Stewy and Sandy that attested to his father's erratic behavior. Logan later has dinner with his financial adviser Jamie Laird, who suggests that he sell the company to avoid a costly legal battle. That night, Greg comes to Kendall's temporary new apartment to deliver him cocaine.

The next day, Kendall arrives early to lunch at the family's summer home in the Hamptons, where an unidentified foul odor fills the house.

However, she doesn't disclose this to Tom, and simply informs him that he has been named the Chair of Global Broadcast News at ATN.

At dusk, Logan confronts the contractor who was in charge of recent repairs to the summer home, and who placed the dead raccoons in the chimney as retaliation for being underpaid. Logan gives the contractor an ultimatum between taking an even smaller sum of money or receiving no payment at all. During dinner, Logan names Kendall and Roman as his co-COOs, despite the latter's protests. He then takes Kendall to meet with Stewy and Sandy in Manhattan, but sends Kendall in alone.

Shiv meets Logan to discuss his offer to run the company, but Logan suggests that it would take three years for Shiv to fully integrate into her role as CEO.

The next day, Kendall and Roman visit Vaulter's offices and inform Lawrence that they will be performing a routine check of Vaulter's performance for Logan. Lawrence attempts to stall Kendall's efforts by burying him in paperwork, while Roman takes several Vaulter employees out for drinks in an attempt to extract more valuable information from them.

The next day, Tom, who has been promoted to Chair of Global Broadcast News at ATN, meets the network's owner Cyd Peach, who immediately bristles at his disdain for ATN's audience and dismisses him as another bureaucrat. Determined to make his own impact, Tom tasks Greg with rooting out inefficiencies at the network, despite Greg's discomfort with working at ATN.

Kendall and Roman report their review of Vaulter's performance to Logan. Kendall wants Waystar to keep the acquisition, but Roman reports having learned from intoxicated employees that Vaulter's readership is failing and that its staff wants to unionize. Logan sides with Roman and tasks Kendall with shutting down Vaulter and merging its intellectual property into Waystar's assets. Kendall reluctantly obliges.

Connor and Willa host a party celebrating their return to New York, which doubles as a canvassing event for Connor's presidential bid. While there, Greg suggests to Tom that they digitize ATN's operations; Tom takes it as an opportunity to fire employees. Shiv brings Tom back to their apartment to inform him that Logan has offered her the company. Tom expresses support but worries that the offer jeopardizes his own planned inheritance of the company; Shiv assures him the offer is likely spurious.

The next morning, Kendall confronts Lawrence about his dishonesty regarding Vaulter's performance, and unsuccessfully attempts to talk the site's employees out of unionizing in a final attempt to salvage the company's viability.

Shiv and Tom have dinner with Roman and Tabitha, where Tom is roundly mocked. Afterwards, Shiv consults Tom's advice on how to navigate her conflicting loyalties between Eavis and Logan, both of whom have offered her significant opportunities. Tom warns her that Logan may be toying with her and suggests proceeding cautiously rather than taking his offer at face value.

Kendall has a team covertly install Wi-Fi blockers in Vaulter's offices that night and returns in the morning to inform the company's entire staff of their termination. Lawrence is nonplussed and demands to know why Kendall is suddenly turning against him; Kendall flatly answers that he is doing so on his father's orders. That night, he copes by throwing a drug-fueled party in a temporary apartment he has gifted to Greg.

The next morning, Logan brings in Kendall to work alongside him full-time to help navigate the proxy battle against Stewy and Sandy. Meanwhile, Shiv antagonizes Eavis and decides to quit his campaign. That evening, Kendall shoplifts from a convenience store.

Greg meets with author Michelle Pantsil, who is writing an unauthorized biography on Logan, but abruptly leaves when he realizes he is being recorded. Logan, whose health remains under question, announces to his senior executives that Waystar will be taking over rival media giant Pierce Global Media (PGM), and shuts down the members who disagree with the idea. Logan also decides to bring Frank back to the company, seeing as he is personal friends with PGM owner Nan Pierce.

Roman and Tabitha watch Connor's presidential campaign announcement, which he is running on an anti-tax platform. Roman asks Tabitha to reach out to PGM board member Naomi Pierce, her friend and past sexual fling, to broach the idea of an acquisition. Shiv, who knows of Logan's acquisition plans thanks to Gerri and staunchly opposes it, asks Tom to talk Logan out of it at the family's upcoming hunting retreat in Hungary.

On the plane, Logan is furious to learn that someone within the company spoke to Pantsil; Greg becomes nervous about being found out. They reunite with Frank after arriving at their hunting lodge in Hungary. Back in New York, Shiv tries to convince Connor not to run for president, given that his anti-tax platform jeopardizes Logan's political relationships. She accompanies Willa for drinks and seduces one of the actors in Willa's planned stage play. Connor, against the advice of his family, releases his campaign video to the public.

While hunting, Greg confides to Tom that he spoke to Pantsil and begs Tom to keep his secret. Kendall and Roman discuss having been contacted by Pantsil themselves; Roman discreetly takes a private call. One pig is shot during the hunting session and brought back to the lodge as the main course for dinner. Logan is further infuriated when he learns that the Pierces already know about his acquisition plans, realizing that the information leaks are coming from someone in his inner circle.

As everyone begins to eat, Logan cuts off the dinner and begins individually interrogating various members of the group to find out who talked to the Pierce family and Pantsil. Logan has Karl, Tom and Greg sit in the corner of the room and subjects them to a viciously humiliating game he calls "Boar on the Floor," having the three of them play-act like pigs and fight over a piece of sausage, with the loser being declared the mole. Amidst the chaos, Kendall wrestles Roman's phone away from him and learns that it was in fact Roman who talked to the Pierces. Roman claims he was trying to help his father, but Logan brands him a "moron" in front of everyone, and demands to know who in the room backs him on the acquisition. Kendall observes that everyone present is opposed, but Logan insists that he will nonetheless see his plan through.

During breakfast the next morning, Logan finds out that Mo, a recently deceased member of the board, talked to Pantsil and considers the issue resolved, to Greg's relief. Gerri approaches a despondent Roman, who asks her how he can earn his father's respect; Gerri recommends that he take Waystar's six-week management training course. On the plane back to New York, Frank informs Logan that PGM's CEO is interested in a meeting. That night, Logan calls Shiv telling her it is time to bring her into the company.

Kendall takes a trip to Waystar's rooftop, under surveillance from the security cameras. He makes a call to PGM's CEO, Rhea Jarrell, establishing contact ahead of their upcoming meeting. Shiv rides with Tom to her first day at Waystar. They are met with protests over ATN anchor Mark Ravenhead, who is under fire for his alleged support of Nazism. Logan discusses the issue at a board meeting, noting that it presents a problem for his acquisition of PGM, which leans left. He tasks Tom with scrutinizing Ravenhead to see if any of the accusations have merit.

Meanwhile, Connor and Willa attend the funeral of board member Mo, where Connor hopes to meet potential donors for his presidential campaign. Connor informs Willa that Mo's real name is in fact Lester; the nickname "Mo" is a play on the word "molester," which Lester was known to be. Michelle Pantsil is present at the funeral and presses Connor on his knowledge of Lester's past, but Willa helps Connor rewrite his eulogy into a series of generic statements to sabotage Pantsil's efforts at using any information against him.

Shiv and Gerri discuss Kendall's erratic behavior as of late, which includes shoplifting. Shiv remains perplexed as to why Kendall is suddenly so loyal to his father. Kendall, meanwhile, meets Rhea in the company parking lot and brings her upstairs to meet Logan privately. Rhea informs them that the Pierce family has no interest in selling their company. Meanwhile, Tom sits down with Ravenhead and receives strong indications that he is indeed a Nazi sympathizer; however, their meeting is cut short when a gunshot is heard in the building and everyone is ushered into safe rooms.

Logan, Shiv and Rhea are taken to a larger, more secure safe room than Tom and Greg, who are simply locked inside a random office space, much to Tom's chagrin. Kendall is brought in shortly afterwards, having visited the rooftop again. Logan and Kendall manage to sway Rhea into accepting a handsome offer of money to buy PGM. Greg, meanwhile, admits to Tom that he no longer wants to work at ATN, but suggests that they can continue working together as part of a "business open relationship." The comparison enrages Tom, who begins pelting Greg with water bottles, but the chaos dies down once the building's premises are deemed safe to reenter. Greg reveals to Tom that he kept copies of the cruise documents and blackmails him into giving him a promotion; Tom, impressed with Greg's audacity, gleefully agrees.

Roman, meanwhile, starts the company's six-week management training program, having been advised to do so by Gerri in order to earn his father's respect. However, he is bored by the training events and behaves disrespectfully while working as a character at one of the company parks. He soon befriends an eccentric co-trainee named Brian, and the two of them successfully come up with a pitch for a new ride at Waystar's parks. However, Roman is taken aside and informed of the possible shooting at the company building, and uses the situation as an excuse to skip the class rather than present his idea.

As Rhea leaves, Logan agrees to fire Ravenhead from ATN as a "peace offering" to the Pierces. He is informed that the shooting was in fact a suicide triggered by bullying within ATN's workplace environment. That night, Roman returns from his first day of management training and flippantly reports his progress to Gerri; he suddenly finds himself sexually aroused when she scolds and belittles him, and Gerri plays along with his fetish. Shiv demands to know from Kendall why he is suddenly so subservient to Logan; Kendall, still reeling from the death of Andrew Dodds, tearfully confides to Shiv he doesn't feel he is worth anything beyond his loyalty to his father. The next morning, Kendall revisits the rooftop, only to find glass suicide barriers installed along the perimeter.

Logan officially announces his plans to acquire rival media giant Pierce Global Media (PGM), but informs the family that they first have to spend the weekend at the estate of the Pierce family to allay concerns about the Roys' "moral character." PGM's readership and sales have foundered over the last two years, presenting a clearer opportunity for the Roys. Nonetheless, Logan, who is staunchly determined to win the acquisition, gives his family meticulous instructions on how to present themselves to the Pierces. Kendall is told to arrive later than the rest of the family under the pretense of "volunteering."

The Pierces receive the Roys at Tern Haven, their family estate on Long Island. The Roys have already established certain inroads with the Pierces: Frank is personal friends with the family matriarch Nan Pierce, while Roman's girlfriend Tabitha once had a sexual relationship with Nan's cousin Naomi, who has made a special trip for the meeting with the Roys.

The two families mingle, though there is friction between Connor and Maxim Pierce, a consultant at the Brookings Institution who doesn't take Connor's presidential ambitions seriously, as well as between Shiv and Mark Pierce, an academic to whom she makes a condescending joke. Kendall soon arrives, and Rhea hints to him that she is on his family's side. Logan takes his family aside and scolds them for not meeting his expectations of how they must "perform"; Marcia expresses her frustration with Logan for his neurotic behavior.

That night, the two families have dinner together, which becomes increasingly tense as the Pierces probe into the lives of the Roys. Marcia makes comments suggesting that she is resentful of how Logan treats her, and Tom feels pressured when the liberal Pierces repeatedly insult him over his position at ATN. Tensions reach a breaking point when Nan asks Logan who he plans to name as his successor: Logan refuses to answer the question, prompting an indignant Shiv to proclaim that she has already been chosen, stunning the room. Nan ends the dinner and ushers everyone outdoors to go stargazing.

While everyone else gathers outside, Shiv takes solace in her bedroom and panics to Tom, regretting her outburst. Meanwhile, Kendall and Naomi, who had immediately bonded over their common struggle with addiction, sneak off to do cocaine together, and later get drunk and have sex inside the Roys' helicopter. Naomi admits to Kendall that she despises the Roys for running tabloids on her during the peak of her substance abuse, and that she is only here to ensure that an acquisition deal fails. Kendall suggests to her that the money from an acquisition could free her from the entanglements of being part of a family business empire.

In the middle of the night, Roman and Tabitha attempt to have sex for the first time, but Roman struggles to perform, and Tabitha is put off by his unusual fetishes. He visits Gerri's room and masturbates without difficulty to her erotic humiliation.

The following morning, Nan, Rhea and Naomi meet privately with Logan, Shiv, Gerri and Kendall, and agree to sell PGM's ownership to the Roys on the condition that Shiv is named Logan's successor. Logan refuses their terms and calls off the deal, but suggests to Nan that her family needs the money in order for their company to survive. As soon as the Roys land back in Manhattan, Logan receives a phone call saying the Pierces have reconsidered, and that the deal is a success. The Roys celebrate at Logan's apartment, but Logan himself chooses to reflect in his room alone. Greg announces that he has begun going by "Gregory".

Oh Joon-woo is alone in his family's apartment when zombies begin to attack and infect people outside. When he inspects the apartment hallway, a neighbour barges in. He begs to stay but becomes a zombie and attacks Joon-woo. Joon-woo pushes him out and locks the door, then watches a large zombie attack his neighbour through the peephole. Joon-woo then receives messages from his parents telling him they are safe.

Joon-woo blocks his front door with the fridge and posts a rescue request on social media. By attaching his phone to a drone, he scouts his neighbourhood and realizes it is now overrun. Though the emergency power stays on, Joon-woo gradually loses access to phone networks, the internet, and running water.

One night, Joon-woo sees zombies devour a police officer outside. He screams at them, leading a zombie to break into the apartment and knock over the fridge, destroying the food. Joon-woo lures it into falling off the balcony. Joon-woo resorts to drinking liquor to survive, but hallucinates about his parents and sister due to hunger and thirst.

When his phone network is restored momentarily, Joon-woo receives a voicemail from his family recording their refuge being overrun. His rage causes him to leave the apartment and attack zombies, but when a horde attacks he flees and barely manages to sneak back inside.

Joon-woo attempts to hang himself but stops when he sees a laser pointer's light. The signal comes from Kim Yoo-bin, a survivor living in the opposite apartment building. Yoo-bin tries to set up a zip line between their apartments by tying a cable to her table and throwing the other end to Joon-woo, but it lands in the street. Joon-woo uses his drone to set up another line successfully. However, an infected firefighter pulls on the first cable, causing Yoo-bin's table to fly across her apartment, knock her out, and lodge into her balcony railing. The firefighter starts climbing the cable. Joon-woo distracts the zombie by sacrificing his drone, giving Yoo-bin enough time to wake up and kill the zombie.

Joon-woo raids his neighbour's unit for food, clothing, and walkie-talkies, narrowly avoiding his zombified neighbour. He sends a walkie-talkie to Yoo-bin. The two talk and bond. Suddenly, the infected hordes become agitated and a nervous Yoo-bin accidentally knocks over a shelf. The noise causes zombies to converge at her door. Joon-woo distracts them by calling the unit adjacent to hers.

Yoo-bin says the 8th floor of Joon-woo's apartment looks empty. The pair gear up, rappel from their balconies, and fight their way to the 8th floor - but the doors are locked and the zombies have followed them. Suddenly, a stranger emerges from the last suite on the floor and saves them.

The stranger gives them food and water, but it is drugged, and Joon-woo falls asleep. The stranger binds the pair's wrists and locks Yoo-bin in a bedroom with his restrained, infected wife. Joon-woo wakes up and threatens the stranger, but he releases his wife's restraints from outside the bedroom. Once Yoo-bin goes silent, the stranger opens the bedroom door, only to find Yoo-bin managed to wrap the infected wife's head in fabric. The infected wife attacks her husband, and Yoo-bin shoots them both.

The gunshots attract more zombies. Yoo-bin asks Joon-woo to kill her before they get in. As he hesitates, they hear helicopters outside. The pair rush to the rooftop while chased by the infected. Just before they are overwhelmed, an army helicopter kills the zombies and carries the pair to safety. A voiceover by an anchor explains wireless networks are being restored and the military is rescuing survivors who made social media posts.

Jinwoo then sets out on a journey as he fights against all kinds of enemies, both man and monster, to discover the secrets of the dungeons and the true source of his powers.

Sitting in a chair in his living room, he is interviewed by a TV team for the evening news. Lindemann, visibly nervous, is only asked to give this short statement:

Because of various technical issues and adjustments made by the increasingly frustrated director, Lindemann is repeatedly interrupted and has to repeat his text several times, which makes him more confused after each shot.

Prostitutes in Italy find themselves being stalked by a mysterious killer.

Lincoln Jefferson (Nate Parker), a recently divorced U.S. Marine (and Iraq war veteran), gets a job working as a janitor at a mostly white private school, which enables him to get his son, Kajani Jefferson (Tony Espinosa), into the school so that he doesn't have to suffer the same fate as other black students.

Late one night, after picking his son up from a friend's house in a prestigious, all-white neighborhood, they are pulled over by police. During the traffic stop, which is recorded on body and dashcams, Kajani is shot and killed in front of his father, Jefferson by officer Mike Randall (Beau Knapp).

One year later, a documentary film crew, led by student filmmaker Jordin King (Shane Paul McGhie), requests an interview with Jefferson at the same time as the Grand Jury's decision on the guilt or innocence of Officer Randall is due to be televised. Officer Randall is cleared of all wrongdoing and it is announced there will not be a trial, violence erupts into the city. A police captain pleads with the Kajani's grieving mother asking her to make a public statement calling for calm.

After watching Kijani's mother Tayana (Milauna Jackson), make a statement on television, Jefferson decides to take matters into his own hands. He takes the police captain hostage and brings him to the precinct along with the film crew. The film crew is horrified, but Jefferson suggests to them that now they can make a real documentary. Jefferson and his veteran friends easily subdue the police station and take everyone inside hostage. Jefferson demands the trial his son Kajani was earlier denied and a mock trial is then staged. Prisoners and civilians are pressed into serving on the makeshift jury, which leads to a lot of argument and discussion regarding racial relations and tensions. Jefferson allows everyone the right to speak freely during the trial.

Officer Randall then admits racial bias on his part and that he pulled Jefferson and Kajani over because they were black in an affluent neighborhood after midnight. He then admits to shooting Kajani because he was scared for his life and that was what he was trained to do. The jury deliberates briefly and finds Randall guilty; Jefferson decides to mete out the punishment himself. He gives Randall his phone and allows him one last phone conversation with his wife and child, before putting a gun to Randall's head and threatening to execute him. Just as Jefferson pulls the trigger, it is revealed that his weapon has been empty all along and Randall's life is spared. A moment of quiet resolution between Randall and Jefferson then takes place, before Jefferson is shot by a sniper while leaving the police station. The film ends with various talking heads speculating on the motives for the invasion.

On her first day at a new school, a young transfer student named Saeko Mizuno is seen leaving the last stall in the girls' bathroom. Students at the school believe that a young girl named Hanako-san committed suicide in that stall, and that her spirit remains there. Since the students who believe in the Hanako-san legend avoid using that stall, rumors begin to spread that Mizuno is actually Hanako-san herself. Many of the students also believe that Hanako-san is responsible for a series of child homicides which have been occurring in the area around the school, and so they assume that Mizuno has come to their school in search of victims. The real murderer decapitates the school goat one day, which raises further suspicions against Mizuno, since she was the one appointed to feed the animal that day.

Wanting to see if Mizuno truly is Hanako-san, Mizuno's classmates decide to lock her in the last stall in the girls' bathroom over night, surmising that, if she is still there in the morning, she must not be Hanako-san. Unbeknownst to Mizuno's classmates, the child killer is lurking around the school, and he eventually confronts Mizuno and one of her friends. The real Hanako-san appears, and is revealed to be a benevolent spirit. She summons a mob of students to the school, and they surround the killer, preventing him from escaping until the police and other adults arrive.

Drummer Ruben performs in the avant-garde metal duo Blackgammon with his singer girlfriend, Lou. They live in an RV and tour the United States performing gigs. When Ruben begins to lose his hearing, he goes to a pharmacy seeking a diagnosis. The pharmacist refers him to a doctor, who finds that Ruben has lost most of his hearing and that the rest will deteriorate rapidly. Although cochlear implants may benefit him, insurance does not cover their high cost. The doctor suggests that Ruben eliminate all exposure to loud noises and undergo further testing, but Ruben continues to perform.

Lou wants to stop performing for his safety, but Ruben wants to continue. She is also concerned about his sobriety, as he is a recovering drug addict. They call his sponsor, Hector, who finds a rural shelter for Deaf recovering addicts run by a man named Joe, a recovering alcoholic who lost his hearing in the Vietnam War.

He has his friend Jenn sell his drums and other music equipment, then he sells his RV, using the money for cochlear implant surgery. Ruben asks Joe to loan him money to buy back his RV while he awaits the activation of the implants. Joe refuses, saying that Ruben is behaving like an addict. He asks Ruben to leave the community, as it is founded on the belief that Deafness is not a handicap.

Ruben has his implants activated but is disappointed by their distorted sound. He flies to Paris to meet Lou at the home of her wealthy father, Richard. Richard confides in Ruben that though he initially disliked him, he recognizes that Ruben made Lou happy. Lou has settled into her new lifestyle and has ceased self-harming. At a party, Lou and Richard perform a duet; Ruben's perception of the sound is distorted by the implants.

When Ruben tells Lou he wants to return to their music, she begins scratching her arms. Ruben tells her all is well and that she saved his life. She tells him that he saved hers too. The next morning, Ruben takes his things and leaves while Lou sleeps. In a park, the ringing of a church bell is distorted by his implants; Ruben removes his processors and sits in silence.

A girl named Fei Fei is being told the legend of the Moon goddess Chang'e who took a potion for immortality, causing her to become a goddess and ascend to the Moon without her lover Houyi, and awaits for him there. In preparation for the annual Moon Festival, Fei Fei and her family make mooncakes for the village. However, Fei Fei's mother falls ill, and gives her daughter a white rabbit named Bungee before passing away.

Fei Fei, who still believes in Chang'e four years later, is upset when she learns that her father is engaged to Ms. Zhong, and is annoyed by her son, Chin. Fei Fei's family joins them for the Moon Festival celebration, and she remembers her mother. Inspired by a crane and the legend of Chang'e, she decides to build a rocket to the Moon to prove that Chang'e is real. She designs a rocket that resembles a Chinese paper lantern in the shape of a rabbit that uses fireworks to boost her speed. Her rocket almost succeeds until she realizes that Chin snuck aboard her rocket and they begin to crash to Earth. Suddenly, the rocket is captured in a mystical beam of energy and taken to the Moon. They crash-land after being "attacked" by 2 friendly foo dogs, who then rescue them and take them to Lunaria.

They are introduced to Chang'e and her backup dancers, the Lunettes. Chang'e tells Fei Fei that she was supposed to deliver a gift for Chang'e to bring Houyi back. Fei Fei takes a photo with Chang'e to prove she is real, but Chang'e takes the photo from Fei Fei and demands the gift. Fei Fei doesn't know what she is talking about, and a frustrated Chang'e announces a competition to find her gift before the last of the moondust falls. Fei Fei gets upset with Chin and leaves him, getting a ride with the Biker Chicks to the crash site. Chin sees some Lunettes with the photo and is captured by Chang'e who demands the location of the gift. Chang'e challenges Chin to a game of ping pong that Chin wins, further upsetting Chang'e. Chang'e cries in despair that she will never see Houyi again. While Chin is trapped in a chamber by Chang'e, Bungee follows the Jade Rabbit into his workplace. Meanwhile, Fei Fei and the Biker Chicks head to her rocket's crash site, where the former meets an exiled Lunarian named Gobi. She discovers her Chang'e doll, which she suspects to be the gift, but the Biker Chicks snatch the doll and leave Fei Fei and Gobi behind.

Fei Fei and Gobi head to Lunaria on the backs of giant toads, where Gobi reveals that Chang'e exiled him due to a song about moving on. Fei Fei and Gobi catch up to the Biker Chicks, but during their scuffle, the doll is destroyed. However, Fei Fei discovers in one of her mooncakes a broken half of an open jade circle and realizes that it is Chang'e's gift. They return to Lunaria's palace, rejoin Chin and Bungee, and present the gift to Chang'e, who makes a full jade circle. Chang'e and Houyi are then briefly reunited, but Houyi tells Chang'e to move on before fading away. Refusing to accept this, Chang'e slips into a state of depression, causing all the light in Lunaria to extinguish.

Fei Fei tries to reach out to Chang'e, but the moment she enters Chang'e's state of sadness, she also becomes depressed due to a vision of her mother. Realizing that they both must move on from their tragedies, Chang'e and Fei Fei encourage each other to find the love all around them. This allows the two to accept their loved ones' deaths, restoring light to Lunaria.

Chang'e thanks Fei Fei and allows her and Chin passage back home—excluding Bungee, who stays on the Moon with Jade Rabbit—and lifts Gobi's banishment. Fei Fei and Chin bid farewell to the Lunarians and return home, where Fei Fei accepts her father and Mrs. Zhong's marriage and Chin as her brother. About a year later, Fei Fei is living happily with her new family and continues to look up at the Moon, watching as cranes fly up towards it in the night.

She then attends a ceramics class at the community center only to find it taught by a similar teacher whom the ladies cheer over. Later, she goes to the Nuclear Plant to sex-prise Homer, but finds they are unable to have any privacy since the surveillance team loudly insists on spying on them having sex.

Running out of activities to do, Marge finds herself at Well + Good, where they are hiring new people. She makes a good impression at the center and is immediately hired. The day of the opening, she is nervous but makes a good sale, before finding out they are a legal cannabis shop, making her a drug dealer.

Meanwhile, Tatum presents "The Drederick" to the workers, a cannabis resort and spa, and wants Marge to host the opening. However, he claims he cannot offer her the job because Homer giving weed a bad image with his shop. The only way for her to keep her job at the company is to stop Homer. Marge tries to convince Homer to stop, but he refuses and the two end up in a fierce argument all night.

As Marge is preparing to leave her job at Well + Good, Tatum offers her an alternative option: if Marge could provide evidence that Homer is serving food, the county health department will shut him down. Marge goes through with the plan, giving Homer a jar of cheese balls and encouraging him to serve some to Lenny and Krusty the Clown. When they eat some of the cheese balls, the department closes the activity, betraying Homer.

At The Drederick's opening ceremony, Homer sneaks in claiming to be Kevin Smith's father, and, supposedly drunk, upsets the influencers by revealing Marge has never tried pot herself. To save face, she tries some and feels the effects of getting high. She finds out she was deceived and that the people at Well + Good were only promoting their cannabis products as healthy as a front to get high. She attempts to counter the high by eating food, only to find out they are all laced with pot and that the napkins are potent in pot. Increasingly disoriented, she makes her way into the bathroom and is comforted by Homer, who had faked being drunk to teach her a lesson.

After Marge's bad experience with cannabis, she apologises to Homer for ratting him out; he also apologises for ruining the one place that made her feel special. As Marge is still feeling weird from her high, Homer tries to make it up to her lighting a joint, which turns out to be an electronic cigarette that explodes and causes a chain reaction that destroys the resort completely.

In the end, Well + Good closes down and the city declares cannabis outlawed in an emergency law. However, Lisa points out that with the loss of the tax money, Maggie's preschool will soon be shut down.

Because the pearl is highly secured, they observe the museum especially the security of the pearl. It is secured with retina and fingerprint scanners and the voice of Don Benjie as well as lasers. Donna successfully acquires the fingerprint, photo with eyes open wide and the recorded voice of Don Benjie along with the password in an event. But, Don Benjie finds out about his brother's mission to steal the pearl and called for drastic measures by adding additional security features after Bruno confessed everything when the former was kidnapped by Benjie's men.

The Dons successfully pushes through with their mission, but Samantha (Sarah Lahbati), Don Benjie's trusted aide goes to the museum and fights with the Dons. Don Benjie's butler Wilson (Clint Bondad) tells his boss about the pearl. When the Dons are about to exit the museum, police are called in to arrest Don Robert. During a negotiation with Benjie, Robert breaks the pearl they stole, to prove that the pearl that he returned was a counterfeit. It was revealed that Don Benjie's modus is to steal artifacts in every museum and replace them with counterfeits so that everyone will know that the artifacts that is exhibited in every museum are real and not stolen. Robert managed to escape and during a chase, he crashes through a bridge and into a river.

While Don Benjie is planning his escape, he sees Robert holding the urn of Marjorie (Max Collins), Robert's wife who died while he was in prison. In an intense confrontation, Benjie admits that he killed Dr. Mendez and framed his own brother out of jealousy. He did not notice that Don Robert was wearing a body camera and is being streamed by Claire. Benjie and his men were arrested for the murder of Dr. Mendez, and the Dons have accomplished their mission. As the Dons are about to leave, Wilson came, who turned out to be Bruno. It found out that after Bruno was kidnapped, Don Robert and Bruno went to Benjie's house and knocked out the real Wilson. Then Bruno disguised himself as Wilson never knowing that he's the impostor. At the Rizal Park, Claire forgives Don Robert. The Dons celebrate after they were given a reward for returning the pearl.

After the mid-credits, Claire and Johnson was on their first date. There, Claire's mother (Lani Mercado) came and told them that the pearl is missing. It found out that it was the other half of her pearl necklace that was missing. Luckily, Johnson gave it to her. Claire and Johnson shared their first kiss and as Claire was about to kiss Johnson, it was instantly faded in black.
