The film tells about a woman named Yelena Koltsova, the prototype of which was Alexandra Kollontai (the first woman ambassador in world history).

Princess Fu Yi, the only daughter of the Chinese Emperor Han Xuandi, escapes from a rogue prince, Deng Tsin Qin, and flees to Gaul, seeking help from Asterix and Obelix.

The film consists of four short stories. The first short story tells about a bored mistress who falls in love with the tutor of her children. The second short story tells of a married man, frightened by stories of various mystical phenomena, who spends the night with a governess. In the third story, a man catches his wife with her lover and he decides to kill her for it. And suddenly he begins to guess about the possible punishment for this crime. The fourth short story shows the matchmaking of the landowner Lomov to the daughter of his neighbor.

In 1963, Cassius Clay nearly loses a boxing match to Henry Cooper at Wembley Stadium in London. At the Copacabana in New York City, soul singer Sam Cooke suffers through a performance in front of a cold, all-white audience. Returning home to Georgia, NFL player Jim Brown is received by family friend Mr. Carlton on a vast plantation. Carlton ladles praise on "the great Jim Brown," but when Brown offers to help Carlton move some furniture, Carlton uses a racial slur and informs Brown that he is not welcome inside the home due to Brown's blackness. Elsewhere, Malcolm X returns home and discusses his plans to leave the Nation of Islam with his wife, Betty.

On February 25, 1964, the men are all in Miami for Clay's title bout against Sonny Liston. Malcolm meets with Clay in a hotel room before the fight, and the two pray in a traditional Islamic fashion. That night, Brown is a ringside commentator and Cooke and Malcolm X are in the crowd as Clay upsets Liston, making him the world heavyweight champion.

Afterward, Malcolm invites the other three men to his motel room. Their hopes of a party are dashed when Malcolm makes it clear they are the only ones he invited. He wants to spend some time reflecting on their accomplishments, but tension between him and Cooke arises. Malcolm accuses Cooke of disloyalty to the black community by pandering to white audiences, and Cooke argues that his method produces greater economic empowerment for Black artists. Clay informs the men of his plans to announce his conversion to the Nation of Islam, causing more tension. Brown discusses his plans to become a film actor, and wonders if it will go smoothly.

The conflict between Malcolm and Cooke escalates. Malcolm harshly ridicules the music Cooke has produced since finding success. Cooke insists his success and creative autonomy is itself an inspiration to the black community, and while he still cares about the black struggle in America, protest songs are not commercially viable. Malcolm confronts him with the success of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind".

As they argue, it becomes clear that Malcolm's antagonism of Cooke is motivated, at least in part, by the activist's stress over his own life, especially his harassment by the FBI and fears about his schism with Elijah Muhammad. Malcolm is devastated to learn that Clay is having second thoughts about his conversion. He tells Clay that he is planning to form his own organization and asks him to join. Clay refuses, feeling betrayed by his mentor, and wondering if his conversion has been a ploy by Malcolm to attract attention to his new project. A knock at the door informs them that the press has gotten wind of the meeting. As Clay prepares to talk to the media, he asks Malcolm to come with him. When they leave, Cooke tells Brown that he has had similar thoughts about "Blowin' in the Wind" and has already written a song, but not yet performed it.

In the aftermath of the night, Clay officially changes his name to Muhammad Ali, while Malcolm's life is thrown into chaos as he suffers the consequences of his split with the Nation of Islam; his house is firebombed, but he completes his autobiography. Cooke debuts "A Change Is Gonna Come" on ''The Tonight Show''. Brown leaves the NFL to pursue his movie career. The film ends with a title card with a quote from Malcolm on February 19, 1965, about the inevitability of martyrs for the cause, and that he was assassinated two days later on February 21.

Cinderella is an ambitious young woman who wants to establish her shop "Dresses by Ella". One day in her patriarchal society, she catches the eye of Prince Robert in the guard-changing ceremony. The next day, Robert, dressed as a commoner, goes to the market, where he finds Ella trying to sell her dress. After some playful banter, he buys it for three times the amount she originally asked. He later invites her to the ball being held two weeks later, with the promise of introducing her to various people from the world to sell her dresses to.

When the day arrives, Ella is getting ready when her stepmother, Vivian throws ink on her dress and tells her that only her stepsisters Malvolia and Narissa, can attend, since Thomas the vegetable merchant has already confirmed his desire for Ella's hand. Ella is sad, but her fairy godparent, Fab G, magically appears and dresses her in a design of Ella's, with glass shoes, and turns mice into footmen and a crate into a carriage. Ella goes to the ball and meets Tatiana, a visiting queen who offers to take her around the world as a dressmaker for her and asks to meet her the next day in the market square. Later, Robert finds Ella, shows his sister, Princess Gwen wearing the gown he bought from Ella previously and proposes to Ella. Ella refuses, however, as she wants to start her career. She tells him that if she marries him it will be the end of her dream and Robert from his small age wanted to become the king and he also is not ready to accept this. At the stroke of midnight, she leaves the ball after throwing her shoe at one of the King's attendants, who tries to catch her.

The next day, Vivian tells Ella her life story...that she was also an ambitious girl like Ella and had even gotten an opportunity to learn piano in a reputed music school. She left home to study and when she came back home her husband divorced her, saying that she is not a suitable wife and kicked her and her daughters out. While she was about leave Ella's room she finds Ella's glass slipper and, on knowing the truth that her stepdaughter is the mystery princess, tries to convince Ella to marry Robert. When Ella refuses, Vivian gives her to Thomas.

Robert's mother, Queen Beatrice, helps his father, King Rowan, understand that it will be right to let him marry a commoner. The king thinks of these words and allows the prince to marry his love. Rowan even gives him the glass slipper. Robert keeps searching for Ella and finds her running in the forest after she escapes from Thomas. They profess their love for each other and kiss. Ella and Robert reach the market in time to show her designs to her benefactor, who accepts them and asks Ella to travel with her.

Robert introduces Ella to Rowan and Beatrice and informs them of their decision to travel the world. He knows this will ruin the plan for his future ascension to the throne, but Beatrice smiles as Rowan proudly declares that Gwen (who has repeatedly shown an interest and ability in affairs of state), will now be first in line to the throne. Citizens of the kingdom gather to witness the ceremony announcing the Princess' position and that Robert and Ella are in love.

In medias res, Fleabag (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) is in a "chic" public restroom cleaning blood from her nose. She breaks the fourth wall to state, "This is a love story." There is an interstitial scene where Fleabag explains steps she has taken to get her life together in the year since the end of series one. She is then shown at a restaurant with her family, including her sister, Claire (Sian Clifford), to whom she has not spoken for a year. Her father (Bill Paterson) and her godmother (Olivia Colman) are hosting the dinner to celebrate their engagement. The priest (Andrew Scott) who will officiate their wedding is also in attendance. Claire and her husband Martin (Brett Gelman), announce that they are trying to get pregnant, and that they are no longer drinking because Martin is a recovering alcoholic.

When Fleabag goes outside to smoke a cigarette, The Priest tries to speak to her, but she silently walks away mid-sentence. He insults her as she goes, to which Fleabag responds with silent delight.

Fleabag's godmother, who is an artist, tells the table that her gift to Fleabag's father is a portrait of Fleabag and Claire, for which they will need to sit.

When Fleabag is outside smoking another cigarette, her father comes to speak to her. He hands her an envelope as a belated birthday gift, which she doesn't read. Upon walking into the restaurant, Fleabag catches Martin drinking alcohol away from the table.

At the table, Claire discusses her new position in Finland at her company, where she works in finance. Her family reacts with surprise because they all thought she was a lawyer. Claire asks Fleabag to open the gift, and Fleabag reads aloud that it is a gift certificate for a therapy session.

Later, Fleabag goes into the bathroom to find Claire, who shares that she has just had a miscarriage. Fleabag offers to help and Claire responds angrily. Fleabag insists that they go to the hospital and Claire agrees. They make a plan to excuse themselves from dinner, but after sitting back down Claire refuses to leave. When the other dinner guests ask what's wrong, Fleabag lies and says she just had a miscarriage. Fleabag readies herself to leave after she and Claire have a veiled argument about Claire's refusal to acknowledge the miscarriage. Martin taunts Fleabag, who punches him in the nose. As she bends to punch him again, he shoves her face away. As the waitress (Maddie Rice) approaches to help, Martin accidentally elbows her in the nose.

Fleabag is now in the bathroom, cleaning her bloody nose, in the same position as the opening scene. The Priest knocks on the door to ask if she needs help. She offers a clean towel to the waitress, who is sitting on the floor. As she is leaving the restaurant, the Priest tells her he is always available to talk.

As Fleabag is walking home, Claire calls to her from a nearby cab, which Fleabag gets inside. Fleabag directs the taxi to the nearest hospital. Claire and Fleabag reconcile by commenting on the fact that the Priest is attractive.

Setting and characters

''Shadowbringers'' takes place on the First, one of many alternate dimensions that were split from the Source, the primary plane in which the rest of the game is set. Eons ago, the Source was shattered into multiple dimensions during the Sundering, the result of a battle between Hydaelyn, the Mothercrystal, and Zodiark, the dark god. The Ascians, a group of immortal mages led by the survivors of the Sundering, seek to revive Zodiark by "Rejoining" each dimension, destroying it and resulting in an apocalyptic Calamity on the Source. On the First, Ascians manipulated this world's Warriors of Light into eradicating the Darkness, which tipped the plane's elemental balance too far towards the Light. This unleashed an oppressive Flood of Light that bleached the land dry and decimated the population. Minfilia, the Oracle of Light and one of the player's confidants, halted the Flood by sacrificing herself during the events of ''Heavensward''. The remaining people struggle to survive in the aftermath and are beset by sin eaters, monsters that prey upon life force and transform their victims into more sin eaters.

Norvrandt is the only remaining continent that has not been consumed by the Light. It roughly corresponds to the region of Eorzea on the Source and its locales are reflections of similar areas on the Source. Lakeland is home to the Crystal Tower, a gleaming edifice that appeared 100 years ago shortly after the Flood. The Crystal Exarch is a wise mage who leads the Crystarium, the town that developed at the foot of the tower as a fortification against the sin eaters. The people here cooperate to survive in this post-apocalyptic land, sharing expertise in agriculture, medicine, and self-defense. In Kholusia, Eulmore stands in contrast, its wealthy residents living in indolence and luxury as they await the world's last days. Its leader, Lord Vauthry, has built this paradise on the backs of slave labor, forcing the poor refugees at its gates to compete for the privilege to serve. Dwarves, the First's counterpart to Lalafell, also live in the mountains of Kholusia where they make their living as miners and blacksmiths, though they are considered Beastmen in this dimension. The Seven Sisters cliffs were used as visual reference for Kholusia. The Rak'tika Greatwood is home to the Night's Blessed, a religious faction that shields itself from the everlasting Light under the forest's canopy. Their religion developed in the years after the Flood and foretells of Warriors of Darkness who will dispel the Light and return night to the sky. The region's architecture was inspired by Angkor Wat and Mesoamerican civilizations. Il Mheg is a magic-shrouded land where the fae folk live—pixies, fuath, nu mou, and amaro. They have taken residence in the fallen structures of the former Voeburtite Kingdom, which was wiped out in the Flood. Finally, Amh Araeng is the desert where Minfilia halted the Flood; massive waves of crystallized Light litter the landscape. Beyond it lies the Empty, a desolate white expanse left in the wake of the Flood that covers the majority of the planet.

In the lead-up to the expansion, the player's allies—members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn—are sent one-by-one into comas by a mysterious force. In total, Alphinaud, Alisaie, Thancred, Y'shtola, and Urianger all succumb to this illness that appears to have taken their souls, leaving their bodies intact. These tragedies occur just as hostilities between the Eorzean Alliance and the Garlean Empire begin escalating again. The empire has restarted production of Black Rose, a chemical weapon that paralyzes the body and stops all vital functions, and prepares to retaliate against Ala Mhigo for their war of independence during ''Stormblood''. Meanwhile, Emet-Selch, an Ascian who engineered the founding of the Garlean Empire, accelerates his plans to destroy the First. He longs to restore his lost civilization by reviving Zodiark. As an Ascian whose soul was not split during the great Sundering, he does not consider living beings on these shattered dimensions to be truly alive and therefore has no qualms about eradicating them in the course of his quest.

Story

''Shadowbringers'' opens as the Warrior of Light, an adventurer blessed by Hydaelyn the Mothercrystal, is guided by a psychic disturbance to reach the Crystal Tower to avert a ruinous future and acquires an item that sends them completely into one of the Source's shards, the First, which is nearly consumed in light. The Warrior is brought to the Crystarium and meets the Crystal Exarch, who reveals he is the unintentional cause of the Scions' comas as his spell to summon the Warrior brought their souls to the First instead. Furthermore, time flows differently between the Source and the First, so the Scions have been on the latter for years. The Exarch explains that the First is on verge of being consumed in light with its destruction ensuring an impending calamity on the Source, and the Scions have been seeking the means to prevent it. The Warrior then encounters their fairy companion Feo Ul and the spirit of Ardbert, the leader of the former Warriors of Darkness, this dimension's Warriors of Light. Ardbert reveals that a century has passed on the First since Minfilia returned him and his compatriots to their world to prevent the Flood of Light. While the others sacrificed themselves to give Minfilia the power to halt the Flood, Ardbert has wandered Norvrandt as a shade to serve as an unseen witness to the aftermath as light-affiliated creatures called sin eaters sire more of their kind from the survivors.

The Warrior first collects the twins Alphinaud and Alisaie, the former charming his way into Eulmore to find out about the nature of its prosperity, while Alisaie aids a hospice in an Amh Araeng outpost that cares for victims of sin eater attacks before euthanizing them as their transformation draws near. With the twins in tow, the Warrior saves a Lakeland village under attack by sin eaters and slays a powerful sin eater known as a Lightwarden. While Lightwardens had been slain before, they could not be destroyed permanently; their own light would overwhelm their slayer and transform them into a new Lightwarden in their place. Hydaelyn's blessing, however, makes the Warrior the sole exception. As a result, the night sky returns to Lakeland and citizens begin to whisper of a prophecy foretelling the arrival of Warriors of Darkness who will quench the Light. Eulmore's ruler, Vauthry, sends his general Ran'jit to find the one responsible. The Exarch rebuffs Ran'jit, and aids the player in reuniting with Thancred, who is accompanied by a young girl named "Minfilia" whom he stole from Ran'jit's custody. This Minfilia is revealed to be the latest incarnation of the Scion Minfilia, long revered on the First as the Oracle of Light.

The party retreats to the fae realm of Il Mheg, Feo Ul's homeland, reuniting with Urianger and learning that the fairy king, Titania, has become a Lightwarden after defeating the one that threatened Il Mheg. The newly minted Warrior of Darkness gathers the necessary items to break the seal on Titania's castle to confront them directly. Titania is defeated and Feo Ul succeeds them, rallying their kin to drive out the pursuing Eulmorans as night returns to Il Mheg. As the Scions prepare to meet up with Y'shtola, they are approached by Solus zos Galvus, who introduces himself to them as the Ascian Paragon Emet-Selch, offering his hand out to them in mutual understanding of the Ascians' reasons for their actions. The Scions are hesitant to take Emet-Selch at his word as they reach the Rak'tika Greatwood. After a tense reunion with Y'shtola, the Scions encounter the Viis warrior women and explore the ruins of the Ronkan civilization they protect. The Viis help the Scions find the region's Lightwarden and put it down. Emet-Selch shortly thereafter reveals the truth of Hydaelyn and Zodiark: they are primals his lost civilization created, with Hydaelyn the cause of the Sundering while Zodiark was created prior to avert a calamity. Afterwards, the Warrior overhears Y'shtola speaking with Urianger and learns that her aether-altered sight enabled her to perceive an imbalance in the Warrior's aether.

The Scions decide that they need the original Minfilia's advice, but this would mean the current Minfilia would cease to be. While Thancred holds Ran'jit at bay, the Warrior and "Minfilia" travel to the area of Amh Araeng where the latter's predecessor halted the Flood. Rather than take over her incarnation's body, Minfilia decides to cease existing and gives the girl her power while telling her to be her own person. The young Minfilia is renamed Ryne as she locates the remaining Lightwardens. The one in Eulmore is revealed to be Vauthry himself; Emet-Selch revealed he had convinced Vauthry's father to infuse a Lightwarden into his unborn son. After the Warrior kills Ran'jit, Vauthry is forced to flee, but is ultimately hunted down and defeated. By now the Warrior is overloaded with Light aether, and begins to transform into a Lightwarden. The Exarch, revealing himself to be their old companion G'raha Tia, attempts to transfer the light into himself, knowing it will cost him his life. He is stopped by Emet-Selch, who ends his truce with the Scions as the Warrior failed his test of withstanding the Light aether and leaves with G'raha to the Tempest.

Though Ryne hinders the Warrior's transformation for now, the endless Light returns to Norvrandt. The Warrior learns that G'raha came from a future where an Eighth Umbral Calamity occurred, caused by the First's destruction magnifying the lethality of the Black Rose poison and wiping out most life on Eorzea. During the resulting war years later, the surviving denizens banded together to avert their fate, awakening G'raha within the Crystal Tower and using Cid Garlond's notes to enable it to travel through time and space. The Scions pursue Emet-Selch to the depths of the ocean where they discover that he has created a simulacrum of his lost civilization, Amaurot, underneath the waves. Emet-Selch remains unimpressed as he tests the Warrior and Scions with a vision of Amaurot's collapse while intending to restore the original world and his loved ones, who sacrificed themselves to bring Zodiark into being. The Warrior nearly succumbs to the light when Ardbert, revealed to be a fragment of the Warrior's original self, merges into their body to stabilize them. Emet-Selch casts aside his title and battles the Warrior under his true name, Hades. Upon his defeat, he asks the Warrior to remember their people. The Scions reunite with G'raha before returning to the Crystarium, now looking for a means to send the Scions back to their world.

Meanwhile on the Source, Estinien and Gaius infiltrate the Garlean palace to prevent the Black Rose from being used. They are beaten to it by Zenos, who took back his body from the Ascian Emissary Elidibus (who discarded it upon sensing Emet-Selch's death), and murders his father Varis to prevent him from interfering further in his rematch with the Warrior.

Returning home

With the First no longer in imminent danger, the Exarch enlists a nu mou mage named Beq Lugg to aid him in finding a way to return the Scions to the Source before their comatose bodies waste away. Meanwhile, the citizens of Eulmore decide to share their wealth and create a more equitable society with engineer Chai-Nuzz as their newly elected mayor. The Warrior returns to the Source to inform their allies of their progress, Raubahn and Gaius updating the adventurer about Varis being killed with Garlemald falling into chaos, Gaius adding that he and Estinien encountered one of the Empire's newest Ultima Weapon-based prototypes during their escape.

After the Warrior returns to the First, the Scions decide to tell the people the history of the Flood and the original Warriors of Light. They learn Elidibus has arrived on the First, possessing Ardbert's corpse as he arranges for the residents to awaken their Echo, revealing it to be a fragment of their original selves' power, rather than a gift from Hydaelyn. The Scions are suspicious of Elidibus's motives but cannot in good conscience oppose those wanting to follow in their footsteps, resuming their focus to research into aetherial transportation as a means to return home, while finding archive footage of the Ancient Venat who intended to become Hydaelyn's heart as Elidibus did for Zodiark's summoning. Their plans are cut short when Elidibus reveals his intent to avenge Emet-Selch and Lahabrea while putting the Warrior through a gauntlet based on their exploits. Y'shtola intervenes, deducing from the Ancients' records that Elidibus is a primal of his original self who separated from Zodiark's heart. Furthermore, Elidibus is revealed to be the originator of the legend of the "Warrior of Light", and is using the peoples' faith to increase his power.

Elidibus takes his leave and attacks G'raha and Beq Lugg to acquire the former's means of summoning others from the other shards, using one of the devices made from auracite and G'raha's blood to summon spectral Warriors of Light to attack the Scions. The Warrior reaches the Crystal Tower and faces Elidibus as he takes on form of the first Warrior of Light, with the Warrior revealed to have a connection to Azem, a former member of the Amaurotine convocation. They and G'raha defeat Elidibus and seal his essence in the Crystal Tower, but G'raha succumbs to overuse of his power in the process and fully crystallizes, infusing his memories into one of the auracites that the others use to return to their bodies in the Source. The Warrior proceeds to the Crystal Tower and awakens G'raha, infusing him with his future self's soul and memories as he joins the Scions. Meanwhile, gaining an ally in the rogue Ascian Fandaniel who reveals everything about the Ancients to him, Zenos usurps the imperial throne and plans his reunion with the Warrior.

The Beginning of the End

Following the Scions' return to the Source, they learn the Eorzean Alliance has taken advantage of Garlemald's war of succession to put their resources into opening peace talks with the beast tribes. Alisaie uses this as an opportunity to find a cure for primal tempering based on her experience with those infected by sin eaters, finding success with a tempered kobold child. In Limsa Lominsa, the Scions aid Merlwyb with a dispute involving a dissenting pirate faction and eventually cure the kobold patriarch of his tempering. Mysterious towers begin appearing across the Source as Fandaniel reveals himself to the Scions as a member of the Telophoroi cult, explaining that Elidibus's disappearance freed him from the Ascians' mission of restoring Amaurot as he intends to recreate its apocalyptic collapse in an act of omnicide-suicide, while threatening to raze cities across the Source with a primal-like being he has dubbed Lunar Bahamut, should the Warrior refuse to face Zenos again. The Scions decide to investigate the towers while Krile and Tataru begin their search for Estinien to combat Lunar Bahamut.

The Scions convene with the Alliance in Ala Mhigo, where Lyse reveals that she was attacked by a scout who became tempered into becoming devoted to Garlemald while investigating the towers. Raubahn then reveals his intention of sending a second scouting party composed of Fordola and Alphinaud's friend Arenvald, who are both gifted the Echo and therefore immune to tempering. Following the council, the twins, G'raha, and the Warrior rendezvous with Estinien, whom they accompany to Ayzs Lla to gather information about Lunar Bahamut from the great wyrm Tiamat, realizing that tempered Meracydian dragons have summoned him. After they free Tiamat from both her restraints and her guilt for summoning Bahamut as a primal, the wyrm pledges her aid to the Scions. They leave for Paglth'an to assist the Alliance and the native Amalj'aa from a Telophoroi assault led by Lunar Bahamut, who is slain by the Warrior. Returning to Ul'dah, Sultana Nanamo shares Fordola and Arenvald's findings with the Scions; they learned that Amalj'aa prisoners have been used to summon an entity resembling Ifrit, leaving Arenvald unable to walk, while also learning that more such entities have been seen across the Source. The Scions return to the Rising Stones where Krile proposes petitioning Sharlayan to aid in uncovering the Telophoroi's motives, while Estinien joins the group as their newest member.

The Alliance and beast tribes convene in Ala Mhigo to set aside their differences and unite against the Telophoroi as the Grand Company of Eorzea, while also being rebuffed by Sharlayan's envoy, the twins' father Fourchenault, who disowns his children for taking after their grandfather while expressing Sharlayan's continued neutrality under the notion that Eorzea's claim of the Final Days is unfounded. They are interrupted by news that the Telophoroi are marching to Carteneau Flats, prompting the newly formed Grand Company of Eorzea and the Scions to defend the aetherial confluences buried there. They succeed in repelling the Telophoroi and their primals, while the Scions decide to seek passage to Old Sharlayan as they believe the Forum is intentionally withholding knowledge about the Final Days. While the Scions discover that the towers are draining aether from the land itself, the Warrior glimpses an ephemeral figure who warns them of the coming apocalypse. Fandaniel begins the final preparations to open the "gate of the gods" to realize his goals while Zenos, having discarded his katanas for a scythe, practices in preparation for his final confrontation with the Warrior.

With its storyline set in early twentieth-century Mexico, this lost film portrayed the plight of Zora Fernandez (Nance O'Neil), a beautiful and exotic woman who becomes entangled in a love affair and is persecuted by local officials following an armed uprising. Her father, Dr. Fernandez (Frank Russell), is a physician and also a general who leads an insurrection against General Mendoza (Alfred Hickman), the military governor of the surrounding territory. The doctor and his forces are defeated, and he dies in battle. The victorious Mendoza now resents Zora for her past indifference to his romantic advances and suspects she may try to oppose his authority as well. The governor is concerned too about Zora's reputation as a sorceress, most notably for her abilities to cast spells and concoct miraculous potions. In reality, her father, as a medical doctor, had taught her hypnosis and how to treat various illnesses. Those abilities, however, are viewed by most of the residents in her village as supernatural and forms of witchcraft.

To isolate the "witch", Governor Mendoza forces Zora to leave her village and then issues a proclamation warning citizens that any women who associate with her will be imprisoned for life; men who do so will be immediately hung. Zora, despite being ostracized, continues to help the rural poor and sick by dispensing herbal medicines and using her "magical mental power".Graves, George W. (1916). [http://archive.org/stream/motography151elec#page/712/mode/2up "The Witch"], review, ''Motography'', March 26, 1916, p. 713. Internet Archive. Retrieved January 2, 2020. When Mendoza's daughter Dolores (Jane Miller) begins to suffer from being "addicted to walking in her sleep", her attending nurse secretly sends for the witch to come cure her. Zora slips into the governor's palace with the help of the nurse and then uses her "mastery of hypnosis" to cure the young woman. Returning to her "secluded abode" outside the village, Zora now meets Lieutenant Riques, a prominent official's son. They fall in love, although she is unaware that the handsome soldier is engaged to marry Dolores.

Zora later learns of Riques' impending marriage, becomes angry, and quietly goes back to the governor's palace the night before the wedding on the pretext of checking on her patient. Using hypnosis again, Zora puts Dolores into a trance from which "she will never wake unless at the call of her power."Judson, Hanford C. (1916). [http://archive.org/details/movingpicturewor27newy/page/1846 "'The Witch'"], review, ''The Moving Picture World'', March 18, 1916, pp. 1845-1846. Internet Archive. Retrieved January 5, 2020. Acquaintances of Zora and Riques now betray the clandestine lovers and reveal their affair. The couple are arrested and tried, but Zora saves Riques from hanging by assuming all the blame and lying that she had captured his heart by casting a spell on him, one that he could not resist. Zora is then convicted, sentenced to death for witchcraft, and carried away by a mob to be burned at the stake. Zora is about to be executed when Dolores's nurse rushes in to inform the governor that his daughter is in a deep sleep at his palace, cannot be awakened, and only Zora can save her. When offered her freedom in exchange for releasing Dolores from her coma-like condition, Zora agrees and awakens the governor's daughter. Mendoza then banishes the witch forever from the region.

''Winged Magic'' is a tale of human/equine relationships, where sentient horses converse fluently with their human friends.

At Niagara Falls in 1903, Nikola Tesla is unsuccessful in getting investors for his wireless power transmission system as it is seen as dangerous and crazy. After working late fixing his generator, he comes across a floating orb. Feeling endangered, he makes a run with his assistant, Dorothy Skerritt, as a cloaked figure shoots at them. The Doctor arrives in time to help them escape aboard a train headed to New York City, ditching their pursuer by detaching the carriage.

In New York, the group finds protesters waiting outside Tesla's lab, having been goaded into fearing Tesla and his inventions by his competitor Thomas Edison. The Doctor identifies the orb as an Orb of Thassa designed to share knowledge, but repurposed for an unknown cause. After spotting a spy for Edison, the Doctor, Graham and Ryan visit Edison's workshop, suspecting him to be behind the attack on Tesla. The cloaked figure arrives at Edison's lab and fatally electrocutes everyone in the workshop before pursuing Edison. The group escapes and traps one of the creatures in a chemical ring of fire, but it escapes by teleportation. The Doctor tries to warn Tesla and Yaz back at his lab, but the two are captured and transported to an invisible alien ship above the city. The Queen of the Skithra demands they fix her ship. When Tesla refuses, the Queen threatens to kill Yaz, but the Doctor transports herself onto the ship just in time. She learns that the Skithra ship is just a collection of stolen parts from various species and the Skithra just use others to do their work for them. The Skithra also chose Tesla as their "engineer" because he was able to discover their signal while he had been working on his wireless power system.

The Doctor transports herself, Tesla, and Yaz back to Tesla's Wardenclyffe lab. The Doctor warns the Queen to leave, but the Queen refuses, threatening to destroy Earth if Tesla is not handed over. While Tesla and the Doctor hook up the TARDIS to help power Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower, Graham, Ryan, Yaz, Dorothy and Edison ward off the invading scorpion-like Skithra. The Tower activates, and electrical bolts shoot through the Skithra ship, forcing it to leave Earth. Yaz is disappointed that despite Tesla's heroics, his reputation in the future remained unchanged, but the Doctor reminds her that Tesla's vision for a wireless world will still come to pass.

The village of Sta. Fe, located in the middle of Laguna de Bay, was known for its milkfish pens and some investors from the capital investment for this kind of business to improve and develop this kind of business. However, the fish began to kill off, prompting the villagers to salt them and dry them under the sun for the sake of financial benefit. In the village, a love triangle was formed when Benjamin, the owner of a boat that serves as a shuttle service to the town, fell in love with Chedeng, a soon-to-be full-time trained midwife, and her best friend and neighbor, Maria. Both Chedeng and Maria didn't know that they were loved by Benjamin. By the time Maria got pregnant, Chedeng decides that she will be her first patient to handle her profession of midwifery. Unfortunately, this would lead to a tragic consequence, causing Chedeng to leave the village and live somewhere.

Isabelle "Isi" Voigt lives with her upper-class family in Heidelberg while Oscar "Ossi" Markowski lives with his single mother in a small flat in Mannheim. Despite her privileged upbringing and her parents' wishes for her to attend university, Isi aspires to attend a culinary school in New York and become a chef. Ossi trains to become a professional boxer but is forced to frequently miss training sessions and work at his mother's gas station.

Ossi's mother, Betty, is €14,000 in debt and Ossi's sponsor for his upcoming professional match has pulled out, believing that Ossi's frequent absences from training display a lack of commitment. This leaves Ossi in need of €8000 for his match to continue. Isi requests access to her deposit account to fund her culinary ambitions, but her mother, Claudia, informs her that she will not get the money until she turns 25 and has graduated from university. Isi then applies for a job at a burger joint in Mannheim, meeting Ossi there. She asks Ossi out in order to blackmail her parents into allowing her access to her inheritance. After a discussion with his mother and his best friend, Tschünni, Ossi reluctantly agrees to date Isi for money.

After a bad "first date" where Isi's parents find and interrupt the fake couple, Isi ends up joining Ossi in picking his grandfather up from prison. Grandpa had been in and out of prison for 14 years and is ecstatic in reuniting with his grandson, although Ossi is embarrassed to be associated with him, even more so when Grandpa reveals his ambition to become a professional rapper. Fed up with Grandpa and no longer wanting to deceive Isi, Ossi reveals to her that he just wanted to swindle €8000 out of her. The two meet again later and Isi offers to pay for Ossi's fight on the condition that they continue to pretend to be a couple; if she successfully gains access to her inheritance, she will provide him with €25,000 in total.

The two meet up with Grandpa at a nightclub where he participates in a rap battle. He initially fumbles much to Ossi's embarrassment, but soon wins over the crowd with his rapping and humorous insults towards his opponent. Isi and Ossi begin to bond over their shared interests and support each other's ambitions. Isi genuinely respects Ossi's family and their lack of pretension. Ossi also displays academic excellence, which makes Isi wonder if he could have achieved more in life if he had her educational experience and upbringing. Still, he reiterates his true dream of fighting professionally.

A video of Grandpa's rapping goes viral and he lands a record deal. He, Isi, Ossi and Tschünni celebrate at a nightclub. Isi further encourages Ossi to pursue better boxing management in Frankfurt and to leave his mother's gas station behind. They make out unprompted and go back to Ossi's place, where he takes care of her in her drunken state. Isi comments that Betty does not appear to like her, which Ossi denies.

The next morning, Isi's parents appear at Ossi's flat and grants her access to her deposit account. They demand that she end her relationship with Ossi, which she verbally agrees to in order to placate her parents, but Ossi overhears this and assumes that Isi will abandon him. While they have breakfast, Isi transfers the €25,000 into Ossi's account as agreed, but he treats her coldly. An argument escalates as Isi tells him that he does not have to incur his mother's debts due to her financial irresponsibility; Ossi argues that he will not abandon his family and suggests that rich people do not understand what it means to support one another. Isi leaves.

The breakup affects Isi badly and she accidentally gets her kind but dim-witted coworker, Gabriella, fired. Ossi's boxing also suffers from the breakup. Isi discovers that she has over two million euros in her account and anonymously donates some of it to Gabriella. Grandpa's rapping career takes off and he tells Ossi that he has earned €30,000. Ossi meets Isi outside of her mansion and returns her €25,000. Although she insists on him keeping the money, they get into another argument where they accuse the other of deceiving them from the beginning. Isi also claims that Betty has been an irresponsible mother. Ossi returns the money and storms off. Isi's parents overhear the argument and realise that the two genuinely cared for each other. Claudia apologizes to her daughter and confesses that she had discouraged Isi's dream in order for her to live a life free of poverty, which she had experienced as a child.

While Isi is working, Ossi appears at the burger joint in need of her car; they rush to stop Grandpa in the middle of a fight with a youth who insulted him online. Ossi calms his grandfather, who admits that he is having trouble readjusting to society. Ossi comforts Grandpa and assures that he will help him. When Isi and Ossi are left alone, the latter confesses his love for her and reveals his insecurity that he may not be good enough for Isi.

Ossi returns to his mother's gas station where she tells him to fleece Isi for more money. Seeing Betty's irresponsibility and lack of respect towards Isi for the first time, he refuses. He tells his mother to sell the gas station and find another job, leaving her for his upcoming match.

At the boxing venue, Ossi nervously awaits his first professional match. Betty arrives to support her son; she apologizes for her previous actions and promises him that she will find another job. Grandpa and Tschünni are also in attendance.

Isi arrives at the match and sees Ossi struggling against his opponent. She rushes to his side during the rest period and affirms her love for him and Ossi's worth as a person, also telling him that she has bought the burger joint and will stay in Germany with him. Ossi tells her that he may not be able to buy her luxuries; Isi playfully retorts that she accepts that so long as he does not make fun of her tastes. Reinvigorated, he fights his opponent aggressively and finally defeats him. Isi, Betty, Grandpa and Tschünni rush into the ring and embrace Ossi, celebrating his victory.

In the summer of 1920, a cruise ship sinks in the North Atlantic. A lifeboat carrying nine survivors washes up on the shores of a seemingly deserted island. It slowly becomes apparent that the island is not as uninhabited as the group had previously thought as they are, in turn, stalked and killed by a tribe of small doll-like creatures.

Having served prison time for a cattle rustling that he didn't commit, rancher Jack Stewart is set upon by a gang of vigilantes who want to hang him. Sheriff Smoky Moore is attacked while trying to protect Jack. Tom Cameron, the Lone Rider, and his sidekick Fuzzy Jones stop the hanging and chase the mob away. The real cattle rustler is Nora Mason, who wants Jack to be blamed for her crimes. She frames Jack again, and he's killed by a rancher whose cattle has been stolen. Tom has to unmask the real outlaw gang before they claim more innocent lives.

In the Forest of Okoya, the Mythical Pokémon Zarude finds an infant boy in a cradle washed up on a riverbank. Unable to leave the child on his own, Zarude adopts him as a son, giving him the name "Koko". Zarude leaves his tribe, which inhabits a Great Tree deep in the jungle where humans are forbidden to venture, to raise Koko who grows up as a feral child.

Ten years later, Ash Ketchum and Pikachu visit the Forest of Okoya from nearby Milyfa Town. While attempting to capture a wild Cramorant, Ash and Pikachu encounter a research team from the Biotope Company, a scientific organization studying the jungle. Team Rocket, covertly following them, look up information on the Biotope Company and its leader Dr. Zed, and decide to infiltrate the group.

Later, Ash sees Koko go over a waterfall, after he got knocked out from a pipe while swinging on a vine with a wild Skwovet, and retrieves him from the water, bringing him to Milyfa Town's Pokémon Center for treatment. When Koko awakens, he becomes alarmed and escapes the building, having never seen other humans before. Discovering that Koko believes himself to be a Pokémon, Ash and Pikachu spend time with him in the town, helping him to learn about humans for the first time.

Ash, Pikachu and Koko later encounter Zarude, who is forced to admit the truth about Koko's heritage. Zarude brings them to an abandoned laboratory he found shortly after adopting Koko, where he shows them a photograph he found of an infant Koko with his human parents. Zarude then leaves, returning to the Great Tree alone.

Discovering a wallet from Biotope Company, Ash brings Koko to their headquarters, where they meet with Dr. Zed. He reveals that Koko's parents are Chrom and Phossa Molybden, a pair of scientists who led the organization in researching the healing springs, and that Koko's real name is Al Molybden. However, Chrom and Phossa were killed in a car accident ten years ago, which was presumed to have killed Al as well. Dr. Zed scans Koko's pendant and discovers partially corrupted data on it that reveals an image of the Great Tree. Distraught over the news of his parents' fate, Koko flees to the Great Tree as well.

As soon as he reaches the Great Tree, Koko discovers a tracking chip planted on him by Dr. Zed. Zed arrives with his research team, which Team Rocket have infiltrated, along with a giant, spider-like tank. Koko and Ash try to stop Zed's actions, but he restrains them using his Ariados and throws them into the back of one of his trucks. He then fires missiles at the Great Tree, blasting open holes from which the spring water gushes forth. Ash, Pikachu and Koko escape with unwitting help from Team Rocket as they wrestle with the Cramorant from earlier and confront Dr. Zed, who suffers a psychotic breakdown and admits that, when Chrom and Phossa Molybden discovered the Great Tree's location but refused to continue researching it out of respect for the Zarude tribe, he killed the couple by running them off a road and stealing their supply of the spring water before leaving them to die in the explosion of their wrecked car. Before they perished, Chrom and Phossa sent the infant Al down the river with a drive containing the rest of their research, leading to Zarude finding him.

Dr. Zed seizes control of the tank from his henchmen, and Ash, Pikachu and Koko try to fight him to no avail. Zarude's tribe arrives, having been convinced to help save the jungle by Zarude who raised Koko. Koko's father figure also brings a group of wild Pokémon, who previously disliked his tribe due to their selfish behavior, to assist. Zarude is injured in the battle and nearly succumbs, but Koko manages to harness the power of the jungle as if he were indeed a Pokémon, healing him. With all their combined forces, they manage to break the tank's power source, disabling it. Zed attempts to escape, but is captured by Koko.

In the aftermath, the humans and Pokémon work together to restore the damage done to the jungle. Dr. Zed is arrested for his crimes and is loaded into a police van by Officer Jenny, based on evidence leaked by Team Rocket. Koko decides to leave to explore the human world and become the bridge between humans and Pokémon, taking the photograph of his parents along with him. As he and Ash leave the Forest of Okoya, they see Zarude turn the healing springs into a geyser to send Koko off. Cheered up by this, Koko goes forth into his future, embracing his dual identity as a Zarude and a human. At the Great Tree, Zarude who raised Koko sees a Shiny Celebi, which observes Zarude now living in harmony with the other Pokémon.

While her companions try to get her to talk about her search for the Master (given her assumption that he escaped the Kasaavin realm), the Doctor learns that a Judoon platoon has descended upon Gloucester and put a forcefield around the city in search of a fugitive. The Doctor manages to bypass the forcefield and arrives in Gloucester. Upon landing and unbeknownst to the Doctor, Graham is teleported to a stolen spaceship piloted by Captain Jack Harkness who mistakes Graham for the Doctor. The Doctor intervenes when the Judoon try to attack the apartment of Lee and Ruth Clayton, and stalls them long enough to question the couple and find a hidden box. Lee refuses to answer the Doctor's questions, but he covers the group's escape, turning himself in to the Judoon before being killed by their contractor, Gat, who recognises him as the fugitive's associate.

Whilst the Doctor flees with Ruth to Gloucester Cathedral, Ryan and Yaz are teleported to Harkness' ship, which is now being attacked by its rightful owners. When Harkness learns the Judoons' forcefield prevents him from teleporting the Doctor, he is forced to ask the Doctor's companions to tell the Doctor to beware of the "lone Cyberman" and to not give it what it wants. He is forced to teleport due to the ship's anti-theft attack system while Graham, Ryan, and Yaz are transported back to Gloucester. The Doctor and Ruth are soon surrounded by the Judoon in the cathedral. Ruth reflexively attacks them, forcing them to retreat after ripping off their commander's horn. With Ruth unable to explain herself, she reveals Lee sent her a text before his death that leads them to a lighthouse where she grew up.

There, the Doctor finds a TARDIS buried outside under a blank gravestone. Ruth, meanwhile, enters the lighthouse and, breaking an alarm box, is engulfed in energy which restores her memory. Ruth then reveals her true identity as a version of The Doctor. With neither remembering the other, the Doctor assumes Ruth to be an unknown past incarnation while Ruth reveals that she used a chameleon arch to hide herself from her former associate Gat. Ruth's TARDIS is then taken aboard the Judoon ship, and the Doctor and Ruth confront Gat, who is revealed to be a Time Lord with orders to retrieve Ruth. Against Ruth's orders, the Doctor introduces herself, and shows Gat a vision of the destroyed Gallifrey that she saw. Gat is killed when she fires a sabotaged weapon confiscated from Ruth.

After the Doctor is dropped back to Gloucester by Ruth, she is reunited with her companions, who relay Harkness's message. Confused by recent events, the Doctor senses that something is coming for her.

The Doctor and her companions, joined by ex-police officer Jake, video blogger Gabriela, and medical researchers Suki and Amaru, investigate a new bacterium infecting people in Peru, Hong Kong, and Madagascar. Those infected become covered by grey scales before their bodies explode. Birds in the local areas have also started acting aggressively towards humans.

The group finds Adam, Jake’s husband and an astronaut, is infected and held in a Hong Kong lab. While rescuing him, they are attacked by humanoids in biohazard suits. Yaz and Gabriela remain behind to investigate further while the rest go to Suki’s Madagascar lab via TARDIS to study Adam. Yaz and Gabriela see another humanoid use a panel to teleport somewhere and follow him, ending up in an alien-looking place.

The Doctor determines that the bacterium is drawn to microplastics that have saturated living beings, and that the birds’ natural enzymes are trying to fight it, causing them to become violent. As she generates an antidote, she realizes Suki’s lab is perfectly equipped for this task, and Suki reveals she is one of the remnants of an alien race ravaged by Praxeus, their name for the bacterium. When Yaz informs the Doctor of their discovery, Suki teleports away. After the birds kill Amaru on the beach and burst into the lab, the Doctor and the others flee to the TARDIS and subsequently to Yaz’s location. Adam volunteers as a test subject for the antidote, and the Doctor programs the TARDIS to synthesize more, should it be successful.

When they arrive, the Doctor determines that they are at the bottom of the sea in a shell of plastic made from the Indian Ocean garbage patch. They find Suki aboard her ship and learn that her kind came to Earth, rich in plastics, to study Praxeus and create their own antidote. When Suki demands the antidote from the Doctor, she is told that it will only work on humans. Suki suddenly succumbs to Praxeus and is killed. The Doctor finds that the ship runs on organic fuel, and with Adam successfully cured, has her allies load the batch of antidote into the ship and sets it on course to explode in the atmosphere to distribute it via the jet stream. The autopilot fails, however, and Jake stays behind to pilot the ship on its course, while the others retreat to the TARDIS. The Doctor uses the TARDIS to rescue Jake in the millisecond before the ship's destruction. With the cure successfully spread, the Doctor drops Jake, Adam, and Gabriela off, and Ryan suggests that they travel the world together.

He and his friend Stew Stewart board a train in the United States to go meet Max Thornwald, owner of a chain of newspapers. Nazi agents in America have fabricated a photograph showing Thornwald's daughter, Jane, having lunch with Hermann Göring and Adolf Hitler, and have successfully blackmailed Thornwald into suppressing Bruce's articles exposing Nazi atrocities. Bruce wants to know why his items aren't being published. Jane and her maid, Millie, happen to be on the train as well.

Meanwhile, Nazi husband-wife spy team Hugo and Frieda Molte have left a suitcase bomb in the train station's baggage check.

A group of people board a charter bus headed to Sex World, a resort where individuals can stay for three days and nights, and have their sexual fantasies be fulfilled. Among the passengers are a painter named Joan Rice and her husband Jerry; a woman named Millicent and her submissive, impotent partner Ralph; and the lonely and introverted Lisa, who recalls an experience in which she wore a blonde wig and had phone sex with a stranger. The passengers are handed questionnaires and are informed that, in order to guarantee privacy, they are prohibited from fraternizing with each other at the resort.

The bus arrives at Sex World, and that night, the visitors each sit down with individual counselors to be interviewed about their sexual desires. Unbeknownst to the visitors, the discussions are being monitored by a control room of technicians whose jobs are to ensure the fulfillment of their fantasies. In a private room, a white visitor named Roger encounters Jill, a black woman he saw on the bus to Sex World. Despite his racial prejudices, Jill convinces Roger to have sexual intercourse with her. Meanwhile, Jerry finds himself in a room with two girls, Linda and Jo. The girls perform cunnilingus on one another, before both fellating Jerry.

In her interview, Joan describes her attraction to her next-door neighbor Marian. Her desire is then fulfilled in the form of an artificial Marian, who kisses and performs cunnilingus on Joan. Elsewhere, Millicent and Ralph separately speak to their individual counselors. Millicent expresses her wish to be dominated, while Ralph reveals his secret cuckolding fetish.

The series takes place after the events of ''Cult of Chucky''. In the city of Hackensack, New Jersey, 14-year-old Jake Wheeler buys a Good Guy doll at a yard sale to use it in his contemporary art project. He later discovers that the doll is possessed by the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who in this form is known as Chucky. Jake soon becomes a suspect in a series of strange events involving the doll, who unleashes a wave of shocking murders around the town. Some of the boy's classmates will also see themselves linked to these events. In addition, a series of flashbacks explore Charles's past as a seemingly normal kid who somehow became one of Hackensack's most notorious killers.

Starring mostly teenagers and advertised as a "coming of rage" story, the series tackles themes of sexuality, bullying, domestic life and murder. The main character, Jake Wheeler, finds himself prompted to homicidal acts by the doll while also struggling with his crush on classmate Devon and other issues that arise from being gay in unaccepting environments.

''Him'' can be called one of the first successful attempts of Theatre of the Absurd, and thus lacks plot in the traditional sense.

The first scene depicts a painted backdrop of a doctor anaesthetizing a woman with two face holes, in which are Me and The Doctor; facing this are three figures knitting in rocking chairs and having absurd conversations. This type of scene happens six times during the play, always following or preceded by scenes in the "room". The room scenes feature Me and Him conversing.

The second act of ''Him'' features nine scenes from the play Him is writing. The final act returns to scenes in the "room" and the Weirds scenes but also adds in a scene in a Parisian restaurant and a scene at a freak show, the latter of which ends by revealing the ninth freak to be Me holding a baby. The play ends with Me breaking the fourth wall quite literally by revealing that the fourth wall of Me and Him's living room is not real. Me says that she can see people "pretending that this room and [Him and Me] are real". Him cannot believe what she is saying, although he wishes he could.

Structure

Act 1 alternates between scenes with the three Miss Weirds and scenes in Me and Him's room, beginning and ending with the Weird scenes. The third act contains a similar Him-Me/misses Weird alternating structure but with the addition of the Au Père Tranquil scene (3.3) the Freak Show scene (3.6).

Cummings does not follow any sort of traditional dramatic structure. Some critics argue that ''Him'' is structured around the dreams of the character Me.

The film begins like a documentary: Ernst Jacobi in the role of Walter Kempowski introduces the viewer to the action with family photos and pictures from Rostock. As a result, Jacobi occasionally comments on the film plot from offscreen.

The film portrays the life of the middle-class family Kempowski in Rostock from 1939 to 1945 in close detail to the novel. In addition to describing the special events in the life of Walter and in the family, there are always depictions of everyday life, such as walks with the father through Rostock, in school and youth group, with friends and swing music, with eating together and Christmas celebrations with the family, going to church or going to the cinema. Father Karl loves cigars from the company "Loeser & Wolff", which, when praised, always prompts him to say „tadellos, tadellöser, Tadellöser und Wolff“ (translated: "impeccable, impeccable, impeccable and Wolff").

The story begins when the Kempowski family moves into a new apartment in Rostock on April 16, 1939. This is followed by a description of the situation in the new apartment and the events in the family, during a meal together, during a visit to the grandfather and at a scene with the neighbor's daughter.

During a dinner, Father Karl announces a vacation trip. The family travels to the Harz on August 10, 1939, where they house in an officers' home. There they get the news of an impending war, whereupon they leave prematurely.

Soon after the family's return, the paternal grandfather died. Considering the estate, considerable debts are found, which now have to be repaid, so the family cannot move into the grandfather's villa, but rents it out. Walter gets sick on Christmas Day. The doctor diagnoses scarlet fever and speaks over a recovery period of six weeks.

Later Walter took piano lessons. The piano teacher is strict and Walter doesn't seem to have practiced enough. Nevertheless, in 1941 he played the piano at a Hitler Youth Christmas party in the Rostock City Theater.

Then there is a heavy bomb attack on Rostock. Mother Grete is assigned as an air-raid warning officer and sends the house residents down to the basement. With the end of the bombings the apartment building is only slightly damaged, but some bombs have hit in the street. Brother Robert, who was on the road as a responder in the city, tells his family about the reports on the considerable destruction in Rostock he had to make, that the Selters-water-factory in the neighborhood burns down.

The Dane Sven Sörensen, an employee in the father's office, was arrested by the Gestapo for tracing successful bombings on a city map. Mother Grete goes to the Gestapo to get him released. He was released shortly afterwards and moved into the Kempowski family's apartment because his own apartment was destroyed by the bombing.

When Father Karl, who is a first lieutenant in the Wehrmacht comes home during vacation from the front, there are tensions in the family at first, which eventually calm down. Since Walter's achievements in school have deteriorated considerably, it is decided that he has to go to the very strict Anna Kröger, called Aunt Anna, to tutor.

Walter's sister Ulla and Sven Sörensen get married in May 1943. The racial laws do not pose any difficulties for the young couple, as Sven is "Northerner". The wedding celebration, where many relatives attend to, takes place in the Kempowski family's apartment and because of the food that had to be brought from the black market because of the war economy

Ulla and Sven then move to Denmark. The family says goodbye to them at the train station on the train to Copenhagen. The family members remaining in Rostock are sad on the one hand about the farewell, but on the other hand also happy because Ulla is now in a safe place.

During the school holidays in 1944, Walter spent three weeks at the estate ''Gut Germitz''. This estate on Plauer See belongs to the family of Ferdinand von Germitz, whom he knew from tutoring at Anna Kröger. During his stay, he got to know Greta, Ferdinand's sister, better.

Father Karl came home on vacation again in October 1944. Due to the current war situation, the mood during his stay is already very sad. At the end of his vacation, Walter and his mother say goodbye to the father at the train station. From there, he returns to his post in an uncertain future.

Since Mother Grete's father's house in Hamburg was destroyed by the bombing, he comes to Rostock. The grandfather is admitted to the family home. A refugee, Frau Stoffel, has also been billeted.

On February 17, 1945, Walter was also drafted into the military. He works as a courier, and in mid-April 1945 on an assignment in Berlin, he realizes that the Russians (Red Army Soldiers) must have come very close to the city. He looks for a way out of the city and then manages to find a train to Rostock in Nauen (Brandenburg), with which he arrives in Rostock on April 25, 1945. The film ends with the scene on the May 1, 1945 (the day of the end of world war 2), where Walter sits on the balcony with his mother and grandfather to see Russian soldiers for the first time, as they march into their street in Rostock.

"The Bicycle Man" opens with Conrad Bain, out of character, informing viewers that the episode will deal with a very sensitive and important subject. He instructs families to discuss the issues presented afterward.

The Drummonds and Jacksons are acquaintances of Mr. Horton (Jump), who owns a bicycle shop from which the family regularly rents bikes. Arnold Jackson (Coleman) is interested in buying a bike, but there is skepticism from his father, Phillip Drummond (Bain), as well as his siblings, Willis Jackson (Bridges) and Kimberly Drummond (Plato). However, Arnold's pleading plus a deal to purchase a red bicycle for a third lower than the actual price offered by Horton influences Phillip to buy it for Arnold's birthday. Horton then makes a deal with Arnold for a free radio if he sends out flyers to other kids at school advertising a sale at the shop, which he successfully does the next day with the help of his friend Dudley (Ross).

Later Arnold goes to the shop asking Horton for more flyers. In the encounter, Horton brings Arnold to the shop owner's house, in the store's back room, and feeds Arnold a banana split, while discussing the possibility of Arnold using the bike for free before his birthday; Horton also instructs Arnold to keep their encounters a secret. Arnold comes home later than usual that night, which is noticed by Phillip as well as Kimberly and Willis; however, Arnold's lie about getting pretzels before he got home is enough for his relatives to think little of it. Arnold brings Dudley to his next private meeting with Horton, but it is too rainy for Arnold to ride around the park. Horton uses this opportunity to entice the two with pizza, wine, and pornographic magazines. Horton also shows them pictures of himself skinny dipping with other kids and plays a game of "Tarzan" involving them taking pictures of each other, with Dudley being shirtless.

Arnold then realizes the possibility of his father smelling wine on his breath, so Horton offers the boys gum and breath mints to hide the scent. Then the shop bell rings, indicating that another customer has arrived. When Mr. Horton sees Phillip has entered the shop, he instructs the boys to keep it down as he goes to the front. When Arnold sees his father is in the shop, he and Dudley leave because they could get in trouble. Once Phillip leaves, Mr. Horton locks up the shop and sees that the boys have left. At the Drummond home, Kimberly and Willis notice the smell. Arnold admits to drinking alcohol, but lies that it was Dudley's father Ted that offered a couple of sips. The siblings agree to keep it a secret from Phillip. Arnold and Dudley go to the shop again the next day, Arnold admitting to Horton that he feels funny about having the secret meetings. However, Horton's showing of a ''Fritz the Cat''-esque adult cartoon ''Murphy the Mouse'', while gaining Dudley's attention, also bothers Arnold to the point where he leaves the shop; this leaves Dudley and Horton to play a game of "Neptune: King of the Sea" alone.

Arnold returns home, just after Phillip learns from Ted (Tari) about Dudley's drinking, forcing Willis and Kimberly to tell them about Arnold getting involved. This forces Arnold to confess, especially as a result of being bothered by the cartoon, that Mr. Horton offered him the wine and pizza, along with the other graphic content he showed Arnold and Dudley. This, plus revealing that Dudley is still at the shop, triggers Phillip into action, calling the police to raid the place and to arrest Mr. Horton. Phillip, Ted, and Police Det. Simpson (Trumbull) go and find Dudley in the bathroom, feeling dizzy after Horton offered him a pill that would make him "feel good". He also confesses to the three that Horton tried to touch him and admits to feeling scared. At the Drummonds', Det. Simpson tells the siblings that Dudley will come out of this experience just fine, and that the police found enough incriminating evidence against Mr. Horton, informing them about child molesters. Phillip tells Arnold he can still have the bicycle and the radio for his birthday, and the two hug as the episode ends.

In a voiceover, Bain instructs viewers to contact law enforcement or social service agencies if there is suspicion of child sex abuse.

It is 2059 and Tech CEO Dr. Goodfellow is hiding in the townhouse of his late mother. The house is safe as it is not connected to the AI-neural network, a creation of Goodfellow, which is now on the verge of eliminating the human race. Goodfellow is accompanied by his latest creation, an advanced android Paris, to whom Goodfellow tells the story of his predecessor Faust.

The story begins with God and Devil (Mephisto) making a bet, over a game of chess. God, believing in humankind, says that Mephisto cannot corrupt Dr Faust, a faithful scientist and CEO of Winestone Inc, a Silicon Valley company. Mephisto disagrees and thus visits Faust on Earth, first disguised as a poodle and then as a hedge fund manager. His attempts are successful, Faust’s desire to emulate God and create a superhuman is so strong that he agrees to exchange his soul for unlimited access to knowledge.

However, Mephisto, the mischievous devil, tricks Faust and exposes him to carnal lust instead of giving him access to so greatly desired knowledge. Deceived by the Devil, Faust falls in love with a 16-year-old Gretchen, a love story ending with her tragic death, the death of her and Faust’s child and the death of her mother and brother.

Unperturbed by this tragedy Faust, still full of carnal lust, demands to meet Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman ever known, who he had seen in a vision. Faust, Mephisto and Homunculus, the AI-robot created by Faust, travel back in time 4000 years and end up in Greek mythology. Faust finds and marries Helen which leads to a birth of a child named Euphorion. With another turn in tragic events, Euphorion dies and Helen disappears.

Faust grieving and all alone is finally freed from the shackles of his lust. He joins forces with Mephisto and time travels back to help his reigning Emperor win a war. Following their victory Faust is granted an estate. He shifts his focus towards regaining land from the sea and enjoying his life as a capitalist. On his death bed Faust writes a Manifesto of an egalitarian society, later compared to the Communist Manifesto. After Faust’s death, his soul is resurrected and reunited with Gretchen, pointing to the strange moral standards of the catholic church.

As Dr. Goodfellow finishes the story of Faust, Paris stops recording and sends it off into the cyberspace where it is safely stored in a time capsule for future generations to discover. In the meantime, the AI neural network finds Goodfellow’s hide-out indicating the end of mankind.

Paul encourages Venus to participate in juniors tournaments. She quickly finds success, but Richard stresses to Venus and her sisters that they should remain humble despite their success. At one of Venus's tournaments, Serena also signs up to play, unbeknownst to Richard. As both girls continue to succeed, the family are treated as outsiders among the predominantly white, upper-class competition. Richard meets with high-profile agents, but, fearing that his daughters will be taken advantage of, pulls them out of the junior circuit entirely. Paul warns him that his decision will destroy the girls’ chances to turn pro, but Richard stands firm, firing Paul as a coach.

Coach Rick Macci travels to California to see the girls play. Impressed, he takes the girls on, and the family relocates to Florida to train at his facility. Richard surprises Rick by reiterating that the girls will not play juniors, instead of training and attending school like normal little girls. In the ensuing three years, questions arise from the media and from Rick about Richard's strategy with the girls and his desire for media exposure. Venus tells Rick that she wants to turn pro. Richard reluctantly agrees, but later reneges, worrying that she will suffer a similar fate to Rick's pupil Jennifer Capriati, who is allegedly suffering from burnout and has been arrested for drug possession. The decision strains Richard's relationships with Venus, Brandy, and Rick. After an argument with Brandy, he reconciles with Venus, agreeing to let her play in the upcoming Bank of the West Classic in Oakland, California. Before the tournament, the family meets with a Nike executive, who offers them a major sponsorship deal worth 3 million dollars. Rick urges them to accept, but the family collectively agrees to decline, believing that once Venus begins to play she will attract more lucrative offers.

Venus initially struggles in her first professional match against Shaun Stafford, but eventually triumphs. She comes in as a heavy underdog in her next match against top-seeded Arantxa Sánchez Vicario. Venus takes the first set and leads in the second before Vicario takes an extended bathroom break, an apparent act of gamesmanship. Sánchez Vicario recovers to win the second set and the match. Richard and Brandy comfort a dejected Venus, telling her to be proud. As the family leaves the stadium, a large crowd of supporters is waiting to cheer her on, and Rick tells Richard that several major shoe companies are anxious to meet with Venus.

An epilogue reveals that nine months later, at the age of 15 Venus would sign a contract with Reebok for $12 million ( ). She would go on to win Wimbledon five times and become the first African American woman to be ranked number one in the world during the Open Era. Serena, who joined Venus as a professional two years later, would become a 23-time Grand Slam champion and considered by many to be the greatest female player in tennis history.

Skinny Jack was a servant who loved to do pranks. One night Skinny Jack disguised himself as a ghost to scare the sexton in the church. When the sexton ran out, Skinny Jack wanted to follow. But on the way out, something seemed to grab him. Skinny Jack believed it was a ghost, or God himself, who wanted to punish him. The next day people found him. His blood was frozen to ice, so he was neither dead nor alive. He stayed in church for about a hundred years and nobody dared to get close to him, until a maid came to the town who was not afraid of anything. A rich man wanted to know if the maid was actually as brave as she said and offered her five crowns to bring Skinny Jack to him. The maid did so and got five crowns. However, she hadn't said that she would bring Skinny Jack back, so the man offered her five crowns again. The maid took Skinny Jack on her back again. But shortly before she arrived at the church, Skinny Jack put his cold ghost fingers around her neck. He forced her to carry him to the grave of the sexton. There he asked for forgiveness. The sexton replied that if God forgave him, he would forgive Skinny Jack. Skinny Jack immediately collapsed into a pile of ashes. From then on the maid was no longer quite right in the head.

He suggests going over the mountain and since his sister would follow him everywhere, she follows him this time too. But the road is long and the magazines on the girl's back weigh heavily. She would rather carry Skinny Jack, says the girl. But then she gets scared because she knows that ghosts come when you call them by their name. When she watches her brother disappearing into the bushes, the girl no longer dares to walk. She believes that Skinny Jack could hide anywhere there. But finally she pulls herself together and starts walking. Then she believes that Skinny Jack's hands get hold of her. She screams and thinks there is no salvation for her.

Lead-up

Teddy Altman is made a mysterious offer at the cost of leaving Billy Kaplan. He accepts the offer which was to become the new ruler of the Kree–Skrull Alliance, adopting the mantle of "Dorrek VIII," and beginning the preparations of invading the Earth for "the final war".

The Warners are a seemingly-average family living in Stamford, Connecticut who are actually Skrulls in disguise. General G'iah under the alias of "Gloria Warner" sends an encrypted message to the Skrull High Command about the progress of Project Blossom. Her mate Colonel Klrr uses the alias of "Carl Warner" and they have three daughters named Alice, Ivy, and Madison. They suffered a setback when they lost Ivy and Klrr was killed when the family was betrayed by their handler Moloth. Before his death, Carl discovered that Ivy was still alive and her blood is being used to create the technology used to identify and destroy the Skrulls. They were able to terminate Moloth.

With Ivy rescued, they returned to their mission and started by going after those that tried to destroy them. As G'iah and her daughters enter a lab, they find a sample that started the Kree–Skrull War. G'iah recaps to his daughters how the Skrulls used to be peaceful during the reign of Emperor Dorrek I, who conquered planets through trade. Everything worked well until he arrived on Hala back when the Kree were just brutes and the Cotati lived there. The Kree and the Cotati were given gifts where whoever created the most with their gifts would become the ruler of Hala. While the Kree built a monument to Skrull technology on Earth's moon, the Cotati grew a garden. This caused Morag to massacre the Cotati and the Skrulls with Dorrek I, turning the Kree from peaceful to the greatest fighting force ever known.

The Kree–Skrull War raged all the way to Earth. After the story, G'iah reveals that the sample the Kree have is a piece of the Cotati as they planned to make sure the Cotati become extinct. At a motel, G'iah and Madison work on decrypting the recent sub-space transmission. Ivy and Alice talked about how the Kree couldn't obtain peace as well as a prophecy of a Celestial Messiah.

A group of Kree called the Priests of Prama found the Cotati that did not get wiped out by Morag and planted them on different planets including Earth. The Cotati on Earth lived undiscovered until the day they encountered Mantis. She and Swordsman bonded with a Cotati which led to the birth of Sequoia (also called "Quoi"). Thanos sent his warriors to look for them causing the Avengers to intervene. Sequoia was last mentioned to have been in an area of outer space called the Rot undoing the damages caused by Thanos.

As Madison finds something, their motel is blown up by an unnamed Kree operative. Thanks to her shapeshifting being perfected, Ivy turned into an indestructible creature and preserved her family inside her until she got to safety. While driving, G'iah resumes listening to Madison's discovery that there is a transmission to the Kree by Hulkling. They learn that Hulkling is the result of a union between the Kree Mar-Vell and the Skrull Princess Anelle who fell in love after Super-Skrull captured him and delivered him to Emperor Dorrek VII. Anelle had a handmaiden spirit him to Earth where she continued to raise Hulkling who would later help form the Young Avengers and fall in love with Wiccan.

Arriving at the building, the Warners find the Kree who blew up their motel room. G'iah mentioned who General Bel-Dann represented the Kree and Warlord Raksor represented the Skrulls when it came to watching the trial of the Phoenix Force. The two of them fought until Uatu the Watcher broke it up. An agreement between Empress R'Klll and the Supreme Intelligence allowed the victor of the battle to be the victor of their race. Uatu, the Fantastic Four, and the Inhumans played a trick to get them to work together where the Fantastic Four and the Inhumans attacked them. G'iah raids the building to find a Kree family as her daughters intervene. The patriarch of the Kree family that blew up their motel room suddenly receives a message on his Kree-tech cellphone from Dorrek VIII stating to all Kree and Skrull soldiers in the field that the Kree and Skrull armadas have united to face a common enemy. They are coming to Earth to destroy them as he speaks. G'iah and her daughters find in the holographic transmission that Hulking is Dorrek VIII.''[https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/85304/road_to_empyre_the_kreeskrull_war_2020_1 Road To Empyre: The Kree–Skrull War (2020) #1]''

Tony Stark began having vivid nightmares thanks to a vision given to him by Immortus about the massacre of the Cotati by the Kree long ago on Earth's moon, which also led to the Kree long war with Skrulls. Shortly after waking up, he got a call from Captain Marvel about a psychic request that has been sent out from the Blue Area of the Moon. As the Avengers approached, they realized that the oxygen-rich area was revitalized and is now more of a green color thanks to all the plants growing there.

Shortly after landing, the team encountered a Kree Sentry merged with some weird growth. The team received some help from the Cotati that took over Jacques Duquesne's corpse. This particular Cotati had used the Swordsman body to marry Mantis and conceive a child. Claiming to still retain the Swordsman's memories which include his initial betrayal of the Avengers, the Swordsman then introduced his former teammates to his son with Mantis: Sequoia the Celestial Messiah. Given their existing relationship, Thor agreed to bring down a few storms to help continue the Cotati's growth on the Moon. Later, the Avengers finally came to learn that the Kree and Skrulls have been united in their hatred towards the Cotati.

Quoi noted that the Kree hated them for losing to the Cotati all those years ago and the Skrulls hated that the Cotati's victory led to the Kree's intergalactic crusades. Sequoia even hinted at the identity of the alliance's leader Hulkling without specifically conveying his identity. He went on to explain that the Kree–Skrull Alliance was headed there to raze the Cotati from the Moon. After hearing all this, Carol reminded Tony of the moment they witnessed the deaths of a Kree and Skrull working together at the "hands" of a plant and heard the warning "Beware the trees".

Thanks to a rousing speech from Iron Man, the team all agreed to defend the Cotati and figure out the politics afterward unaware that the Fantastic Four are already among the Kree–Skrull Alliance.

At Casino Cosmico, a dimension dedicated entirely to gambling and gladiator fights, the Elder of the Universe known as the Profiteer reveals herself as the new owner of the place after having acquired it from her brother the Grandmaster. She re-enacted the Kree–Skrull War, pitting a Kree child named Jo-Venn against a Skrull child named N'kalla for the pleasure of her patrons. Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four are stranded in space but luckily, they are picked up by a cargo ship who tells them about Casino Cosmico.

They head there hoping to enter the Thing into a few fights to win them transport back to Earth. Upon arriving at Casino Cosmico, the Fantastic Four learns that the Kree–Skrull War has ended. Upon discovering that Casino Cosmico is attempting to recapture the prominence of the war, Mister Fantastic investigates it only for the Profiteer to try to make money off of the team, but she soon realized that they prove to be too troublesome.

While she dealt with them, Franklin Richards and Valeria Richards managed to break the bank and became the new owners of Casino Cosmico. They soon approached the Profiteer, offering to sign the casino back over to her in exchange for Jo-Venn's and N'kalla's freedom. Much to her chagrin, the Profiteer accepted.

Later as they were heading back home, they came across the Kree–Skrull armada en route to Earth.

Main plot

As the joint fleet of the Kree and the Skrulls approaches Earth, the Avengers prepare to defend the Cotati while the Fantastic Four send Franklin, Valeria, Jo-Venn and N'kalla back to Earth while they make contact with Hulkling to establish the situation. The initial conflict is brief with Hulkling and his inner circle Super-Skrull, Captain Glory, and Tanalth the Pursuer, but it is soon established that the Cotati intend to establish themselves as a new empire to avenge themselves on the rest of the universe in the name of all the plants that have suffered at the hands of humanoids, just using the Avengers to delay their enemies until they were ready to grow.

A ship arrives in the Solar System as its pilot informs the ship's computer that the pilot was born her. In the Blue Area of the Moon, Quoi has trapped Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man in the Cotati's plants stating that it is not too late to take their offer. Quoi recaps what he has learned from his father. Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and She-Hulk fight the Swordsman Cotati who has unleashed the plants that are harming the Kree and the Skrull. Quoi revealed that Raksor died from a tree growing in him and he was not the first to experience that. Then the Cotati strangled Bel-Dann with his own potted plant while noting that the Kree and the Skrull were faster in recruiting Hulkling. Thor calls Mjolnir which enables him to free himself, Captain America, and Iron Man. As Quoi escapes, Iron Man is contacted by Black Panther who inform him that the Cotati are on Earth. As Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man head to Earth, Captain Marvel is confronted by Captain Glory on if she was proud on what the Cotati did. At the Alliance's ship, Hulkling uses the Sword of Space to free Thing from the seeds that are eating him alive. Captain Marvel arrives and suggests they release some of her energy on the plants. Hulkling does so by stabbing Captain Marvel which fries the plants. When Captain Marvel is revived, Mister Fantastic revealed that he resuscitated her using Tanalth's hammer as an improvised defibrillator. Tanalth revealed that the Universal Weapon was formerly wielded by Ronan the Accuser and gives it to Captain Marvel as an honorary member of the Kree Accuser Corps. Super-Skrull states to Hulkling that the death of a world is on his hands.

Mister Fantastic adds to his thought journal that Captain Marvel has brought the Kree and Skrull troops that she rescued to Earth while stating that Hulkling's inner circle are using him as a figurehead. At Avengers Mountain, Mister Fantastic has met with Tony Stark. While Captain America is leading Earth's heroes in their fight against the Cotati across the world, Thor is on a mythical quest seeking out powers that only gods can access. Tony rants about falling for the Cotati's lies as Mister Fantastic states that nobody saw the Cotati's true motives coming. At Wakanda near the border of Azania, Thing is with Shuri, Okoye, and the Agents of Wakanda confront the Cotati who have breached the forcefield. At Lake Victoria, Quoi and the Swordsman Cotati learn the status report of their invasion. When Swordsman states that they should send in their best, Quoi states that their forces are winning in the Savage Land and Genosha as they plan to gain access to Wakanda's Vibranium mound. On the roof of Wakanda's royal palace, She-Hulk states that the Vibranium would not be useful to the Cotati. Black Panther states that they are after the Vibranium-enriched soil in order to grow the same Death Blossom that was used on the Kree/Skrull fleets. The pilot of the ship arrives and is revealed to be Mantis who plans to reason with her son Quoi. On the Kree/Skrull Alliance's command ship, Captain Marvel, Human Torch, Hulkling, and the Alliance's inner circle discuss their plans to weaken the Cotati. Mur-G'nn states that she can boost the Sword of Space's energies for a time and allow Captain Marvel to absorb a higher dose in order to release on the Death Blossom. Before Hulkling can answer Human Torch's answer about Captain Marvel's suicide mission, he is contacted by Black Panther asking for the Sword of Space. He allows Black Panther to have it as it does not require an Avenger to be sacrificed. Then Hulkling states to Captain Marvel that the Sword of Space has magic properties and can come and go as he commands. As the Alliance disagrees with Hulkling's decision, Tanalth the Pursuer has Super-Skrull bring up the incident in the Kral System that revolved around the Pyre. While surprised that Tanalth knows about it, Super-Skrull talks about it stating that when a star builds up enough energy and detonates, the Pyre happens. Super-Skrull revealed that he had to use it on the Kral system where the Skrull colonies that imitated Earth's culture were wiped out during the Cotati's invasion much to the shock of Captain Marvel. Captain Glory speaks with Tanalth the Pursuer in private about how Ronan the Accuser died standing with the Utopian faction and his gene scan does not identify her as a Kree. Tanalth the Pursuer is revealed to be the thought-dead Skrull Empress R'Kill in disguise who survived Galactus' consumption of Tarnax IV. When Captain Glory states that her grandson spent too much time with the humans, R'Kill notes that it brought out Hulking's heroism and states that they will have to do something about that.

Captain Marvel speaks to Super-Skrull about how Captain America is having a hard time gathering the military to help fight the Cotati. Super-Skrull mentions that the troops are bickering with each other and that Tanalth the Pursuer has sequestered herself from the command deck. Captain Marvel states that they can't wake Hulkling when it is mentioned that the Cotati are amassing in Wakanda. Hulking arrives and states that they have to stop the Cotati at all costs. When Captain Marvel is suspicious, she has the Universal Weapon scan him just in case that someone else is posing as him and it says that it is 100% Hulkling. This causes Captain Marvel and Human Torch to retaliate against the plans to annihilate Earth causing Captain Glory, Mur-G'nn, and Super-Skrull to defend him as Mur-G'nn teleports them away. Captain Marvel and Human Torch end up in an apartment which turns out to be Wiccans. At Avengers Mountain, Tony Stark is working on another Iron Man armor as Mister Fantastic informs him about the Pyre which they plan to use on the Sun. In Wakanda, Black Panther is leading his allies and the Wakandan army in fighting the Cotati. At Lake Victoria, Quoi and the Swordsman Cotati hear that the battle is not over as She-Hulk, Invisible Woman, and Thing arrive with Mantis to confront them. Quoi agrees to hear his mother out and has his father allow it to happen. Quoi mentions that the Skrulls weren't apologetic towards them in the Kral System. It is soon revealed that She-Hulk was actually killed and taken over by the Cotati during the Avengers' trip to the Blue Area of the Moon. As the Cotati-possessed She-Hulk attacks Thing, the Swordsman Cotati states to Quoi that they have the Avengers' most powerful member under their control. Mantis telepathically speaks to Quoi stating that it is not too late to stop all of this. Quoi and the Swordsman Cotati take their leave from Lake Victoria. Back at Wiccan's apartment, Wiccan uses a spell to probe Captain Marvel's mind, Wiccan states that the Hulkling up there is not the one he married.

While recapping his marriage to Hulkling, Wiccan states that he can find the real Hulkling with his magic since they are connected. Thing continues his fight with the Cotati-possessed She-Hulk while Invisible Woman is trying to get a forcefield into She-Hulk's mind to block the Cotati from controlling her. Meanwhile, Shuri sends reinforcements to assist Black Panther in his fight with the Cotati at the foothills of the Vibranium mound. The Ukhozi Squadron shows up to assist Black Panther from the air. Some Cotati are sacrificed when a portal is opened and Black Panther is stabbed by the Swordsman Cotati as Quoi shows up. On the Kree/Skrull Alliance's flagship, Wiccan arrives with Human Torch, Captain Marvel, and the real Hulkling. As Human Torch burns the Inhibitor Mask off of Hulkling, Captain Marvel uses the Universal Weapon on the impostor who states that the Pyre's trigger has been activated in the Sun and faces his Accuser. Quoi and the Swordsman Cotati find no pulse in Black Panther as Thing continues the fight against the Cotati-possessed She-Hulk and Ka-Zar continues his fight with the Cotati in the Savage Land. Mister Fantastic informs Tony Stark that there's a Death Blossom appearing in Wakanda and with the Pyre having been triggered, they have nine minutes to save the world.

At Avengers Mountain, Mister Fantastic dons the Iron Man armor that Tony Stark made him as Mister Fantastic states that the same Death Blossom that is on the Moon is now blooming on Wakanda's Vibranium mound. It will boost Quoi's powers enabling plant life to rule. Tony Stark recaps that the Sun will explode in any minute thanks to the Pyre. Tony sends Mister Fantastic to Wakanda while he works on fixing the Sun. When Mister Fantastic asks how he is going to do that, Tony states that he will "put the Sun in a suit". In New York, Franklin, Valeria, Spider-Man, and Wolverine are fighting the Priests of Pama and Dark Harvest who are using the captive Jo-Venn and N'kalla to power the Omni-Wave Projector in order to start the Kree-Skrull War anew. This is reached to the Kree/Skrull Alliance's flagship which affects the imposter Hulkling as the Kree and Skrull present start fighting each other as well as having effects on the hybrids. Hulkling is still in his Inhibitor Mask which makes him unaffected. Hulkling makes a suggestion to Captain Marvel, Human Torch, and Wiccan to combine their abilities in order to prevent the Pyre. At Lake Victoria, Invisible Woman, Mantis, and Thing are locked in combat with the Cotati-possessed She-Hulk. Back in New York, Jo-Venn and N'kalla release their positive memories which revives She-Hulk enough to break the Cotati off of her and to stop the fighting between the Kree and the Skrull. Back on the Kree/Skrull Alliance's warship, Captain Glory exposes the fact that the imposter Hulkling is R'Kill and is done being part of her plan. Mur-G'nn is ordered by Hulking to take Captain Glory and Super-Skrull to Wiccan in order to help him out while he deals with R'Kill. As the Swordsman Cotati informs Quoi that the Dark Harvest has failed, Black Panther recovers and engages the Swordsman Cotati while Mister Fantastic arrives to confront Quoi as he unleashes a sonic frequency to block Quoi's control over plants. The rest of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers arrive as Captain America demands that Quoi surrenders. Captain Glory and Super-Skrull arrive to help Captain Marvel and Human Torch to hold back the Sun while Tony Stark sends a copy of Mister Fantastic's suit into the Sun as Super-Skrull feels the Pyre weakening. R'Kill sheds her disguise and fights Hulkling who then slams the Inhibitor Mask on R'Kill. As Quoi states that the Cotati wizards have control over the Death Blossom, Thor uses Mjolnir to shock the Cotati. The Swordsman Cotati tries to use Quoi as a shield only for Black Panther to use the Sword of Space to impale the Swordsman Cotati and the Death Blossom. Later, Black Panther and Mister Fantastic got word that the X-Men have weeded the other Death Blossom from the Blue Area of the Moon. Mantis apologizes to her son for failing him and stopping his father from descending into madness. As Quoi is taken away by Thor and She-Hulk, Tony states in a holographic message to Captain America that they cost themselves the future of the Cotati and the universe. Captain America states that the Cotati everywhere are surrendering peacefully which the Kree and the Skrull have accepted. Mister Fantastic states to Invisible Woman that they are about to enter a new age of space while claiming that Quoi might still be the future. Agreeing with Mister Fantastic, Black Panther sends Excelsior, the Star-Sword back to Hulkling.

In the present, Thing and Human Torch break up an argument between Jo-Venn and N'kalla as Franklin Richards and Valeria Richards are instructed to take the children to Earth. At the temple of the High Priests of Pama, the head monk informs his fellow monks that the trees are speaking about the upcoming Dark Harvest. At Alicia Masters' studio in Soho, Alicia is working on a sculpture of Sky as she informs Sky about her blindness. Alicia is contacted by the Fantastic Four. Valeria uses a transmitter to call for back-up to help them protect Jo-Venn and N'kalla as Sky flies Alicia to Valeria and Franklin. She makes contact with Spider-Man and Wolverine, but Wolverine misunderstands the situation and stabs N'kalla before realizing that she is an innocent child as the High Priests of Pama show up.

As the Fantastic Four are fighting the Cotati on the Alliance's command ship, Franklin scolds Wolverine for attacking a Skrull kid. As Alicia is unaware of how N'Kalla knows her, Wolverine grabs Jo-Venn before he can attack as Spider-Man's Spider-Senses go off. Skye meets Spider-Man who mentions that they are surrounded by danger. They are attacked by the Dark Harvest, the elite Priests of Pama who answer to the Cotati. Spider-Man, Wolverine and Sky fight the Dark Harvest while Alicia and Valeria work to heal N'Kalla. Jo-Venn's mind is scanned where the Dark Harvest finds information on the Omni-Wave Projector. As the Dark Harvest raids the apartment, they have a run-in with Hulk and Ghost Rider. This causes the Dark Harvest to retreat as they have the information they need. Spider-Man and Wolverine found that Hulk and Ghost Rider are actually Franklin and Valeria using Image Inducers. As Sky and N'Kalla are recuperating, Franklin is told by Wolverine that they can't get the X-Men to help as Krakoa's gates are plant-based as well as the fact that the real Hulk and Ghost Rider haven't shown up. Mister Fantastic contacts Franklin and Valeria where he learns what happened. Mister Fantastic supplies Spider-Man and Wolverine new costumes as they plan to free Jo-Venn.

The Kree and the Skrull are engaging the Cotati until Franklin Richards, Valeria Richards, Spider-Man and Wolverine arrive.

Arriving at Alchemax, Franklin, Valeria, Spider-Man, and Wolverine learn from a security guard that the Dark Harvest stole something from them. As Spider-Man recaps about what befell Parker Industries, the High Priests of Pama contact Quoi to let them know that they have the Omni-Wave Projector and that the Kree and the Skrull are at each other's throats. The High Priests of Pama enter Jo-Venn's mind and learned the Kree and the Skrull's history with the Cotati. They plan to start a war without an end as a demonstration is done on some Kree and Skrull soldiers. At 4 Yancy Street, N'kalla senses this happening as Alicia as she finds out that N'kalla had switched places with Sky. Franklin, Valeria, Spider-Man, and Wolverine were informed of this. At the Temple of Pama, N'kalla poses as a disciple in order to free Jo-Vann only to be defeated by Oak and captured. With N'kalla as their prisoner, the Priests of Pama can now strengthen the Omni-Wave Projector. Just then, Franklin, Valeria, Spider-Man, and Wolverine arrive to fight the Priests of Pama and the Dark Harvest. Wolverine engages Oak in battle while Spider-Man webs up Creeping Vine. The Priests of Pama then activate the Omni-Wave Projector as the Kree and the Skrull start turning against each other. It has even reached Wakanda and the Kree/Skrull Alliance's flagship. Franklin and Valeria were able to get Jo-Vann and N'kalla to experience good memories which brings about the final chapter of the Kree-Skrull War. Quoi was not pleased with the results and starts turning them into trees. Franklin and Valeria free Jo-Vann and N'kalla. Jo-Vann and N'kalla express interest to go to the "Land of Diz-Nee" which Franklin mentioned earlier.

Empyre: Avengers

Seven hours ago, a mixed army of Kree and Skrulls fought the Cotati. On the Wakandan Helicarrier, the Avengers, the Agents of Wakanda, and Mockingbird discuss their plans. In Manhattan, Vision and Doctor Nemesis meet with Luke Cage where plants have overtaken Central Park. As Vision phases through them to scout ahead, he is grabbed by a plant-like figure using a special vine to negate Vision's density control. 16 miles northwest of Navajoa, Quicksilver, Wonder Man, and Mockingbird find where the Kree and the Skrull are fighting the Cotati. Two of the Cotati magic-users throw orbs at Quicksilver to stop him as Wonder Man and Mockingbird come to his aid. When most of the Cotati are slain, Wonder Man and Mockingbird have a disagreement with the Kree and the Skrull soldiers on how to handle the defeated Cotati which leads to an altercation. Back on the Wakandan Helicarrier, Black Panther mentions how the Wakandan Satellite System enhanced with the magic of Doctor Strange and Odin is coming in handy. Black Knight states to Captain America that he has been focusing on becoming a hero again after fighting the Giants and Dark Elves as Black Panther detects that there are Cotati activities in Central America, South America, China, and Canada. Okoye detects plant-based activity in Antarctica as Ka-Zar states that the Savage Land is there. As Ka-Zar is unable to reach Shanna the She-Devil, Black Panther instructs Brother Voodoo to take Ka-Zar, Zabu, Black Knight, and Scarlet Witch with him to investigate. They arrive to find a slain Tyrannosaurus as Scarlet Witch senses they are surrounded. The group is attacked by the Cotati and they fight them until the Cotati Ventri unleash Man-Thing who they have under their control. As Ventri states that the Savage Land and the world will be theirs, Ka-Zar is shocked to find that the Cotati have gained control of Shanna.

South of Khartom, the Hatut Zeraze are engaging the Cotati archers. In Little Asgard, the Warriors Three fight the Cotati invaders. In Washington DC, Captain America and the armed soldiers are holding the line. Okoye informs Black Panther that there are attacks in Caracas, Lisbon, Manila, and Yokohama. Black Panther states that they must trust their allies first before using the Wakandan Helicarrier to assist in the fight. In Central Park, Doctor Nemesis and Luke Cage notice a giant plant figure emerging from the vines as Vision fights him. When Luke Cage thinks it is a Cotati, Vision states that he is actually Plantman who claims that his goals are similar to the Cotati's goals. Vision tries to reason with Plantman only for him to create soldiers out of his plants. Near Navajoa, some of the Kree argue with the Skrull led by Glaz't on if Hulkling will lead their kind to a new era. Wonder Man works to break up the fight. Somewhere underground in the Savage Land, Black Knight and Zabu find Ka-Zar's son Matthew. It is then shown that they are all prisoners of the Cotati. Because of Shanna the She-Devil having the Savage Land's lifeforce in her, Ventri states that they were able to gain control of her. With Doctor Voodoo and Scarlet Witch immobilized and Black Knight imprisoned, Shanna tries to get Ka-Zar to join them as Matthew states to Black Knight that they have to do something. Doctor Voodoo used a trick to do a mental trick. Scarlet Witch does the same as she tries to free Shanna from the Cotati's control. As Ventri notices something happen with Scarlet Witch, Doctor Voodoo takes control of Man-Thing to free Matthew and Black Knight. Scarlet Witch brings Ka-Zar into Shanna's mind where he learns that some creatures in the Savage Land are dying and trees are falling. As Matthew and Black Knight fight the Cotati, a Doctor Voodoo-controlled Man-Thing fights the Cotati's control and defeats Ventri. When Ka-Zar frees Shanna from the Cotati's control, he is stabbed by a Cotati.

In the Savage Land, Shanna the She-Devil and Matthew are shocked to witness Ka-Zar getting stabbed. In Manhattan, Doctor Nemesis, Luke Cage, and Vision are locked in combat with Plantman and his Sprout Soldiers. They managed to defeat Plantman, but are unable to make contact with Black Panther. Northwest of Navajoa, Quicksilver regains his stamina and breaks up the attack. Back in the Savage Land, Shanna the She-Devil uses the powers of the Savage Land on the Cotati that stabbed Ka-Zar as Scarlet Witch subdues Ventri. Scarlet Witch reveals that the sword used on him was Black Knight's Ebony Blade as Doctor Voodoo separates from Man-Thing to get Ka-Zar's soul out of it. As Matthew, Man-Thing, and Zabu are struck with spears, Shanna uses the same waters that empowered her in an attempt to heal Ka-Zar. It works as Ka-Zar states that the Savage Land is now defending itself as a group of dinosaurs show up. Ventri and the Cotati with him are entrapped by Doctor Voodoo as Man-Thing takes his leave. Ventri claims that what they learned from Man-Thing's energy has been sent to Quoi to fuel the Cotati's invasion. Scarlet Witch tries to contact Black Panther about the status only to be told by Shuri that Wakanda is under siege.

Empyre: X-Men

One year ago in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Doctor Strange talks with Scarlet Witch about M-Day and that she has to embrace that sin. One month ago, she tried to revive the Mutants who died on Genosha. In the present, the Cotati have set up a base on Genosha in their planned invasion on Wakanda as its leader Ru'tuh-Baga is informed that the soil is rich with Vibranium. Science minister Qqoi brings his leader a zombie prisoner named Explodey Boy whose jaw had to be reattached. Explodey Boy informs Ru'tah-Baga that Genosha used to be filled with Mutants until 16,000,000 of them were all killed by Cassandra Nova and he is now undead. The Cotati are then attacked by the Mutant zombies and some of them are vegetarians. Meanwhile, in Val De Sin, Paris, France, Warren Worthington III is having salad with M outside of Noblesse Pharmaceuticals Corporation HQ until Magik tells them that their break is over. She also informed them that Professor X sent them over to keep an eye on them to make sure they do not mess up. The three of them travel to Krakoa where Black Tom Cassidy informs Professor X that something is choking the life from the greenest of tendrils. Professor X stat that they will send someone to investigate it. Angel informs Professor X about the meeting as Professor X has a mission for them. Angel assembles Monet and Magik for his team as Magneto states that he can take one more civilian with him. This leads to Angel bringing Jamie Madrox with them to help out with the mission. They witness the Cotati running from the Mutant zombies and attack both sides as one of Jamie Madrox's clones finds vines around the Genosha gate. As Jamie works to get rid of the vines around the Genosha gate without destroying it, Monet identifies the Mutant zombies as the slain Genoshans. When the gate activates, the Genoshan zombies are hit with a fog that was emitted when Hordeculture members Augusta Bromes, Edith Scutch, Lily Leymus, and Opal Vetiver come through and confront Angel's group with knowledge on the plants.

Angel tries to get Hordeculture to leave in the midst of the chaos on Genosha as they state that they are here to take samples. After killing a Cotati, Angel tries to get them to leave only for Augusta to spray him with something that causes him to see Augusa, Edith, Lily, and Opal as young women. It also affected some of Jamie Madrox' clones who help out Hordeculture. Both groups are then attacked by the Cotati and Genoshan zombies. Magik demands to the Cotati strike commander to gather his forces and leave Earth as Augusta gets a sample of him. Magik's group and Hordeculture hold a truce to stop the Cotati from fleeing as Magik summons some demons from Limbo to assist them. Explodey Boy follows Qqoi onto a warship as Qqoi activates a seed pod-type weapon that turns it into a weapon that will self-destruct. Back on Krakoa, Sage contacts Black Tom Cassidy stating that the Genoshan Gate is down. Creating Little Tom Cassidy as his proxy, he instructs Angel to take him down to Magik. When two of Hordeculture's members state that black walnut trees have a toxic root system that keeps plants away from it, Black Tom Cassidy creates more copies to bring down the seed pod. While finding out that it is immune to psychic attacks, Magik had to persuade Hordeculture to take their leave. With help from Black Tom Cassidy, Magik asks for any psychic mutants to come to Genosha and deal with the seed pod. Emerging from the Genoshan gate are Exodus, Lady Mastermind, Mastermind, Mister Sinister, Quentin Quire, Shadow King, Selene, and the Stepford Cuckoos.

As the X-Men and the psychic mutants continue working to defeat the seed pod while contending with the Cotati and the Genoshan zombies, Magik brings Opal to Krakoa to meet up with Beast. He is instructed to oversee the creation of a potion that involves toxic material from a black walnut tree and to kill her if she fails, Monet, Jamie Madrox, Edith, and Lily are confronted by Explodey Boy who the Cotati recognize as the one who killed Qqoi. He offers a deal to keep the Cotati off their back in exchange that he keeps the bits of their prime cuts. Jamie accepts the terms as Explodey Boy advises Jamie and those with him to take cover. They do that as Explodey Boy takes out some Cotati with his explosion. After Beast and Opal succeed, Black Tom Cassidy tries to contact Magik to no avail. This causes Nightcrawler to teleport the bio-weapons to Genosha. Magik saves one of the Stepford Cuckoos from a group of Genoshan zombies. The X-Men and the psychic mutants start making use of the bio-weapons. When Magik and one of the Stepford Cuckoos enters the seed pod, Magik is entranced by some power which turns her into a full demon as everyone is informed of this. Meanwhile, Jamie and those with them find Explodey Boy and the Genoshan zombies with him eating parts of Jamie's clones. Angel, Augusta, and Opal witnessed Nightcrawler's work as a transformed Magik starts to cast a spell and declares herself the Zombie Queen of Genosha. Jamie, Monet, Lily, and Edith enter the seed pod and find a giant brain that the Genoshan zombies are feeding on. It is explained that the brain is part of the Cotatinaught that hatched from the seed pod and it fully develops its body after it had fed off the Genoshan zombies and the Cotati zombies.

In a flashback, Scarlet Witch found that her magic revived the dead Genoshans as zombies. Upon bringing this up with Doctor Strange, he decides that he must clean up this zombie mess as he instructs Wong to cancel their reservation at Le Coucou. Once it is done, Doctor Strange states that it will take 30 days for the spell to be fully undone. 29 days into the present, the Cotatinaught is on a rampage. After a flashback with Opal, Beast was able to use Hordeculture's tech to revive Explodey Boy who confronts his zombie counterpart and talk about how he was revived as well as a reconciling with Explodey Boy's father. As Magik continues her fight with the Cotatinaught, the Zombie Explodey Boy takes Explodey Boy's jet pack and flies into the Cotatinaught's mouth. He explodes enough to destroy the Cotatinaught which also killed the Cotati that were associated with it. Magik then declares herself as the only power paramount on Genosha. Before she can continue, the spell is worn off as Magik regains control of herself and the Genosha zombies turn to dust. The X-Men allow Hordeculture to take their leave. Scarlet Witch is shown by the fireplace reading a book while shedding a tear.

Before teleporting home, Wiccan enchants Hulkling's ring to give Hulkling extra protection. When Tanalth the Pursuer wants to deal with the Empyre's insurgency, Hulkling states that they should do a peace offering first. She then introduces the royal guards that will be working for Hulkling like Captain Glory and the Kree/Skrull sorceress M'ur-Ginn of the Knights of the Infinite. When the latest member is revealed to be Super-Skrull, Hulkling punches him for what he did to his mother. Super-Skrull stated that he actually slew the chambermaid that raised him after absconding him from Princess Anelle which he now regrets. After breaking up the argument, Tanalth the Pursuer explains that the Kree and Skrull fleets are proceeding to the Titan stargate near Saturn. He does suggest they make a stop first.

Wiccan leaves quoting "All hail the Emperor Dorekk. Long in glory may he reign." Tanalth the Translator contacts the captain of the Kree zealots who she had secretly been in league with. To tie up some loose ends, Tanalth has the computer of the Kree zealots' scout-ship set to self-destruct using the authorization Pursuer-Hala-Six which destroys everyone on board. Wiccan secretly returns having figured out that Hulkling was not with Spider-Man and shows his support to his goals. Before leaving, Wiccan states that he will be at home when he returns.

The Mantis copy states to Quoi that he is supposed to be a unifier. There is also a flashback to when Mantis married the Swordsman Cotati. Using phosphorus, Quoi destroys the Mantis copy. The real Mantis states that she is light years away and that they are not done. Following a flashback to his childhood, Quoi is told by Mantis that he can prevent his father's plans to cause a massacre. Quoi probes Mantis' mind that shows her with the Guardians of the Galaxy at the time when they fought the Annihilation Wave. Cotati destroys the Mantis copy by regressing it to flowers.

In the highlands of Vietnam, Quoi and the Swordsman Cotati are traveling through the jungle as the Swordsman Cotati states that he is a "creature of warring halves". When they find an Alchemax team at the temple trying to harvest the newly-grown trees, they end up in a fight until Quoi uses Swordsman's sword to cut one of the plants and give it to the Alchemax team as a way to get them to leave the temple. Later that night, Quoi and the Swordsman Cotati approach one of the trees as the Swordsman Cotati states that he is returning home while hugging the tree that is his original form. After a talk with Quoi, the Swordsman Cotati merges with the tree. At Alchemax Tower in Manhattan, Robert hears from Lenoora that it will take 30 years before the specimen is fully grown which does not please him. This causes Robert to send a team to cut down all the trees at the temple. The Swordsman Cotati emerges from his tree and slaughters the Alchemax team. When Quoi arrives, the Swordsman Cotati compares what they did to how Galactus consumes worlds. Returning to Tamal, Quoi creates a new sword as he orders the Cotati elders to let his father join their meeting. When the Swordsman Cotati enters the meeting, Quoi offers to be his sword.

Captain Marvel

At the farthest edges of the galaxy, a ship containing Kree and Skrull soldiers is in the middle of a losing battle with the Cotati. They are saved by Captain Marvel wielding the Universal Weapon. The ship then plans to set a course to join the rest of the Kree/Skrull Armada on Earth. On the Kree/Skrull command ship, Captain Marvel gives her status report to Hulkling. Captain Marvel talks privately with Invisible Woman about the Universal Weapon's strong abilities when Thing comes in mentioning that situation has come up. Hulkling needs Captain Marvel to accuse someone. En route to the planet Mar-da'en, Captain Marvel is told by a transmission from Hulkling that Ki'nal is an experimental city that has since become a sanctuary city for the Kree and the Skrull.

Captain Marvel had no choice but to spare her. Commander Raz-El has one of his soldiers inform Hulkling of what happened which surprises him.

Captain Marvel explains herself in a transmission to Hulkling stating that no lone Kree could've leveled Ki'nal on their own and that the suspect was the half-sister she never knew about. As she returns to Ki'nal to continue her investigation, Captain Marvel states to Hulkling that she left Lauri-Ell somewhere safe while having someone keep an eye on her. At Carol's apartment, Lauri-Ell is being observed by Chewie. Back on the planet Mar-da'en, Carol states to Commander Raz-El that Hulkling is allowing her to continue her investigation. She meets up with Wastrel (the alias of Walter S. Lawson) who is still serving his 10 years of community service to Kree. Using the Universal Weapon, Captain Marvel discovers that Lauri-Ell hasn't committed a crime and it is not showing the perpetrator. As Lauri-Ell goes shopping with Chewie while wearing some of Captain Marvel's clothes, she finds herself protecting a girl from the Cotati. Captain Marvel arrives to help Lauri-Ell fight the Cotati.

On the command ship, Carol contacts Hulkling about her lead. 11 minutes later, Hulking found that Carol had the Universal Weapon copied and given to those with her. Hulking expects Carol to have Doctor Strange put the Universal Weapon back together when she is done to avoid the Kree seeing what happened. When Carol asks to check the status on Walter Lawson, Hulking finds out that Walter escaped on Day 2. Returning to Mar-Da'en, Captain Marvel, Hazmat, Spider-Woman, and War Machine are attacked by Kree robots.

Then they destroy the Cotati's nest. The humans are rescued and Kit is reunited with Marina as Kit also meets Lauri-Ell. Spider-Woman advises anyone who doesn't have any injuries to go home immediately. As Lauri-Ell gives Captain Marvel the Universal Weapon back, she leaves Lauri-Ell to guard Wastrel in his cryo-sleep pod where she will take both of them to Hulkling when this is over so that she can clear Lauri-Ell's name and have Wastrel face justice.

After having a drink with them, Vulcan goes for a walk and arrives at the Blue Area of the Moon where the Cotati are at work. He is soon attacked by them as an explosion from the fight is seen by Petra and Sway. As the Cotati use one of their plans to probe his mind, Vulcan sees the same aliens again stating that he now has a microscopic measure that would become worse than cancer. When the aliens release them, Vulcan fights off the plant and creates an explosion. He takes down the Cotati as Petra and Sway show up.

As Black Tom Cassidy is holding back the Cotati invaders, Iceman is assisting Storm while Esme Cuckoo has found Magma in the southwest of Krakoa. Magneto advises Magma to set off one of Krakoa's dormant volcanoes while not getting carried away as they do not want an ecological disaster on their hands. Then Iceman is instructed by Magneto to cool down the lava that comes out. Magneto proceeds to use the now metallic lava on the Cotati while saving Toad from Hhurr. Magneto advises the Cotati general to take his forces, leave Krakoa, and never return. When the Cotati general doesn't take the advice, Magneto rains down Sage's satellites as he advises Mindee to apologize to Sage for sacrificing her satellites. Then he asks Sage to activate the closest gateway to the Moon where the X-Men will put an end to all of this. Exodus finishes his story as Magneto is seen assisting the X-Men in fighting the Cotati on the Moon.

Aftermath

Years ago when Galactus attacked Tarnax IV, Anelle admitted to R'Kill that her child is alive on Earth. R'Kill has a claim that the Kree and the Skrull will be united one day. Then she uses the Transmatter Device in her crown to teleport off of Tarnax IV leaving Anelle behind. In the brig of the Kree/Skrull Alliance's flagship, Hulkling has heard R'Kill's story and was displeased that she left Anelle to die. R'Kill admitted that Tanlath the Pursuer was long dead in the Skrull's dungeons and how R'Kill underwent special treatment and Power Skrull technology to mimic her speed and strength. She killed the Skrulls involved and assumed Tanlath's form in order to infiltrate Hala where she took advantage of the Inhuman takeover, the destruction of Hala, the death of Ronan the Accuser, and the defection of the Supreme Intelligence to the rebels as well as mentioning what she did to his grandfather. R'Kill asks him how the wedding went. Yesterday on the command deck, Hulkling and Wiccan have gotten married. The Kree and Skrul elders made Wiccan the Prince-Consort and Court Wizard to the Kree/Skrull Alliance. At the reception attended by everyone who knows Hulkling and Wiccan, Captain America, Thor, and Tony Stark recap on how they wouldn't let Hulkling and Wiccan join the Avengers as well as doing a toast to Mar-Vell. Captain Marvel speaks to Hulking and Wiccan stating that Mar-Vell would be proud of them and Lauri-Ell will make them proud as an Accuser. Abigail Brand asks Hulkling if she may have a word with Captain Marvel. He allows it. Abigail tells Captain Marvel about how the Alpha Flight Space Program didn't detect the Cotati operating in the Blue Area of the Moon. She also states that the Alpha Flight Space Program cannot function as a team if they are "caught in the loop". As Hulkling tries to break up the discussion, Abigail Brand announces her resignation from the Alpha Flight Space Program. Hulkling informs the Kree elder that they will offer their own apology later while Invisible Woman states to Tony Stark that the Alpha Flight Space Program wouldn't have made the same calls as they have. As Hulkling orders that the party should resume, the rest of the Young Avengers show up. Back in the present, R'Kill states to Hulkling that the Alliance will shatter one day and that Hulkling will die wishing that he'd listen to her. Hulkling then makes Super-Skrull pay for what he did to his foster mother by making him live with his actions and transferring him to diplomatic services effective immediately. As Captain Glory tries to talk Hulkling out of the same sentence, there is a flashforward where Captain Glory and Hulkling are weakened in some ruins while noting that R'Kill was right. He is then confronted by Abigail Brand who is leading her own team claiming that she made something better as she orders Hulkling to come with her.

Nick Fury's Unseen form has watched as the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Kree/Skrull Alliance, and the Cotati lay rest to the oldest war in the universe. Franklin Richards, Valeria Richards, Spider-Man, and Wolverine arrive with Alicia Masters, Jo-Venn, and N'kalla. Hulkling arrives where Jo-Venn and N'kalla meet him. As Quoi is in a Vibranium bondage, Wolverine detects a presence nearby as Thor stating that they are being observed by the Unseen. Iron Man had questioned Quoi about the Cotati's rifles where he has no knowledge on who built them. The Profiteer arrives on Mister Fantastic's request to see if she has any knowledge of the Cotati weapons. She states that she can track it down at a price that will be discussed later. As the Cotati are released from their Vibranium bondages, Invisible Woman prevents Quoi from attacking his "uncle" Thor. Franklin uses his powers to bring the Cotati to an uninhabited planet that is far from Midgard, Skrullos, and Hala where they won't be of any harm. Thor uses the blessing of Gaea to make the barren planet filled with life. This was enough to appease Quoi as Thor takes Invisible Woman and Franklin Storm back to the others. Back on the Blue Area of the Moon, Mister Fantastic, Captain Marvel, Thing, Wolverine, Alicia, Jo-Venn, and N'kalla explore the tunnels where Bel-Dann and Raksor lived and commit their ashes to a specific spot on the ground. Spider-Man mentions to Human Torch that they had to take Jo-Venn and N'kalla to Disneyland before arriving on the Blue Area of the Moon while also mentioning how he gained a soulmate in Sky. The Profiteer finishes her analysis of the Cotati's weapons and doesn't know who made them while stating that the energy powering them is ancient enough to predate her and the rest of the Elders of the Universe. As the Profiteer claims the crystalline batteries as part of the payment, she wants the children as well much to the dismay of everyone present. The Profiteer brings up the contract that any Kree and Skrull children must be fighting somewhere as decreed by Colonel Kal-Torr and General J'Bahzz. Hulkling destroys the contract stating that there are no more Kree and Skrull empires anymore as they are now under his management. This causes the Profiteer to take her leave. Hulkling then places Jo-Venn and N'kalla into the care of Thing and Alicia. After everyone takes their leave, the Unseen uses his powers to bring the weapons to him. As he analyzes the weapons and gets an idea on the first race in question, the Unseen is overcome with energy as a one-eyed Uatu the Watcher is brought back to life. When the Unseen asks how he's back from the dead and to at least say something, all Uatu can say is "There shall be...a reckoning."

On the Bowie, Guardians of the Galaxy members Groot, Hercules, Marvel Boy, Moondragon, Quasar, and Rocket Raccoon arrive at the Proscenium where the Galactic Council meets. Marvel Boy runs into Nova who is representing the Nova Corps as Marvel Boy is representing the Kree since Captain Marvel is unavailable. They meet with the other representatives like Lani Ko Ako of the Badoon Sisterhood, Super-Skrull of the Skrulls, Nymbus Sternhoff of the Kymellians, Emperor Stote of the Zn'rx who went to the restroom, Super-Skrull's subaltern Val-Korr, Mentacle of the Rigellians, Oracle-2 of the Shi'ar, Zoralis Gupa from the planet Silnius, Empress Victoria of Spartax, and Peacekeeper of the Chitauri. The representatives go into peace talks while bringing up the Pyre incident and Hulkling's marriage to Wiccan. Nova proposes that all pan-world treaties remain in force and all forbidden weaponry to be decommissioned which Empress Victoria supports. When Marvel Boy heads to the restroom, he finds Emperor Stote on the ground stating that someone stole his form as he dies. When Val-Korr comes in and accuses Marvel Boy of murder, Marvel Boy kills him in self-defense as Super-Skrull arrives and brings this up with the other representatives. Nova, Oracle-2, and Empress Victoria speak out against what Super-Skrull intends to do with Marvel Boy. Nova calls in the Guardians of the Galaxy to investigate what happened to Emperor Stote. Earlier, Rocket Raccoon and Groot were in the restroom getting their thoughts together when they were briefly teleported to an unknown location with an island in the sky. After reviewing what had happened up to Emperor Stote's murder, Super-Skrull states that a Snarkwar has begun in the Zn'rx race to decide his successor and declines Oracle-2's suggestion of a mind-probe. When asked by Rocket Raccoon to shoot Noh-Varr in the head with Val-Korr's gun, he does and part of Super-Skrull's head gets shot off and regenerates. Rocket Raccoon states that the gun is a gene-scanner which kill anyone who uses it on a Kree and suspects that one of the representatives was responsible. He has the Proscenium's computer system initiate the voice override code 877-Delta for one hour, instructs Oracle-2 and Mentacle to scan the minds, has Moondragon scan Oracle-2 and Mentacle's minds at the same time. The scan goes on until it reaches the mind of Peacekeeper as he initiates a bio-bomb on his chest while stating that he was to bring peace to the enemies who despise hive-kind. As Hercules and Phyla-Vell restrain Peacekeeper, Nova and Noh-Varr work to disarm the bio-bomb as Rocket Raccoon figures out that Lani Ko Ako is the true culprit since the Badoon Sisterhood have never left their planet nor sent anyone to represent them. He continues on stating that the culprit started the Snarkwar, made use of an image inducer and gave Val-Korr the gun which was rigged. Now that the jig is up as well as the fact that the Elders of the Universe can survive a Chitauri bio-bomb, Lani Ko Ako deactivates her image inducer revealing that she is the Profiteer. She reveals that she interfered in the peace meeting since it would put her out of work of selling weapons to feuding sides. After Zoralis Gupa takes an urgent call while mentioning to the person on the other side to warn all neighboring systems, he tells Victoria that it's the End of Everything as different planets are starting to die in the planets owned by the Shi'ar, the Kree/Skrull Alliance, and the Zn'rx while rendering the galactic economy fragile enough to go bankrupt. Knowing that she won't make a profit, the Profiteer teleports Peacekeeper and the bio-bomb away. While thanking Zoralis Gupa for fooling the Profiteer with the bluff, Zoralis Gupa states to Super-Skrull and everyone present that something darker than Galactus is destroying the worlds and its name is Knull.

At the Outer Rim, a Kree/Skrull Alliance armada is passing by. General Kalamari of the Skrulls discovers an escape pod with a warning not to rescue it. The armada does so and the technicians open it to find Talos inside as he passes out. Two days later, Talos awakens with Kalamari by his side and advises that they leave the Outer Rim immediately. He reveals that Emperor Hulkling dispatched him to investigate the Kree and Skrull bases that went dark with Av-Rom, Keeyah, M'lanz, Virtue, and Tarna. En route to Gnarrat, Talos' group comes across an escape pod where they find a Symbiote in it. The Symbiotes start to infect Talos' group as the ship is then attacked by Symbiote Dragons. As his surviving teammates are evacuated, Talos soon finds himself facing Knull and his infected teammates as he plans to devour the entire galaxy. Talos escapes into his escape pod which is launched from his ship where it self-destructs to buy him some time. Back in the present, Talos informs Kalamari that his distress beacon is a warning that Knull is coming. Outside the ship, Knull is riding a Symbiote Dragon as he swoops in for an attack.

Kurt (Christensen) lives in a dark world, talks to himself, is preparing for the end of the world, and gets a job with a security company to pay for the prep. Falls for the security company head's daughter. Security head's #2 doesn't much care for him. Noe (Keitel) is a preacher who keeps saying he's not a prophet.

When Maria is eight years old, her parents die from tuberculosis. Therefore, Maria is brought into a poor house. People live an isolated and sad life there. There is nothing beautiful there and no joy.

Pompadella is the manager of the poor house. Since she expects to get more things while begging when she takes a child with her, she asks Maria to come with her. From now on, Maria accompanies Pompadella when Pompadella goes begging. Together they are very successful.

But Maria also supports the other residents. She helps Hen-Helen to tie her shoes, gives Dearie-Dearie her wool when she has dropped it or consoles Joey Squint when he gets scared because he hears voices. But she finds no comfort for herself because Maria is not able to discover something beautiful.

One day when she goes begging with Pompadella she hears a story that gives her strength and comfort. She wants to keep the story in her mind forever. But the only thing she can remember is the line "My linden plays, my nightingale is singing". At first, all the miseries and sorrows disappear from the poor house when Maria thinks about these words. But the words are not enough anymore, then Maria wants to have a real linden with a real nightingale.

One day Maria sees a pea lying on the floor. She plants it on the poor house's potato field, hopes and prays for it to become a linden. She tells Joey Squint that as soon as the linden sounds and the nightingale sings, he won't hear any more voices.

The next morning there is a linden in the field. But it doesn't sound and there is no nightingale sitting on the tree. The linden can not comfort the residents of the house. Maria runs to the linden at night. She feels that the linden is dead, that there is no life and that no soul lives in it. Then Maria decides to give the tree her own soul. From now on she continues to live in the linden and hears the nightingale singing every evening.

The next morning, Maria has disappeared. But the linden is full of life. The most beautiful music sounds from it and a nightingale sits on it. So it suddenly becomes beautiful and joyful in the poor house. The residents often ask about Maria. Only Joey Squint hears the linden whisper "It's me, Maria".

Lasse doesn't want to go to bed. He always finds new things to play with. His mother doesn't know what to do. Therefore, Aunt Lotte lets Lasse put on her magic glasses. With the glasses, Lasse observes what the other children are doing.

Lasse sees a baby bear sitting in bed after a long day in the forest eating his honey porridge. In the children's room, the rabbit children go to bed after a pillow fight. Five little bird children sleep on the trees after practicing flying in the afternoon. Three squirrel children play with a toy train, eat candy and go to bed. Meanwhile, mouse child Kasper comes home late after playing in the yard. His mother explains that he should quickly have dinner and then go to bed because his siblings are all already asleep.

After Lasse took off the glasses, Aunt Lotte explained that he had seen that all children have to sleep in the evening. Therefore, Lasse should go to bed too. Lasse goes home and goes to bed very quietly. When his mother wants to bring him to bed, he is already asleep.

Eight years after the events of the first film, blind Navy SEAL veteran Norman Nordstrom lives with 11-year-old Phoenix and his Rottweiler, Shadow, in a Detroit suburb. Norman tells Phoenix that her birth mother died in a fire in their old house.

Hernandez, Norman's only connection with society and a veteran Army Ranger, convinces Norman to let Phoenix accompany her on an errand in town to have some time out of the house. A biker-looking individual attempts to abduct Phoenix but is scared away by Shadow. His gang follows Hernandez's van back to Norman's where they wait for Hernandez to drop Phoenix off, then kill her on her way back to town. At Norman's, they lure Shadow away and kill him. When Norman goes outside to look for Shadow, the gang breaks in to kidnap Phoenix. A struggle ensues between Norman and the gang, when the gang leader, Raylan, tells Phoenix that he is her real father, confirming it by showing they both have a Mallen streak.

It is revealed that Phoenix's house burned down after a meth lab explosion in the basement, and Raylan had been jailed for eight years. Norman found Phoenix unconscious in the wreckage and took her home to take the place of his dead daughter. Upon release, Raylan saw Phoenix alive when she left flowers at her mother's memorial. Phoenix is chloroformed by a gangster. Raylan sets his own dog to kill Norman, who traps the animal in the attic. The gang sets the house on fire and leaves with Phoenix. Norman befriends the dog as they escape together, and the dog leads him to the gang's hotel hideout.

At the hotel, Raylan reveals Phoenix's real name is Tara and introduces her to her mother, who is alive but terminally ill in a wheelchair. She explains that she triggered the explosion while cooking meth resulting in the poisoning of her internal organs. Tara's parents have abducted her only for an organ transplant for her mother. Due to a lack of drugs and facilities, Tara will be conscious while her heart is removed. A power blackout prevents the procedure and Raylan's men are ambushed by Norman, who exploits the dark to pick them off one by one except for Raul, who lets him go having found out Raylan's real intentions about getting Tara back. Using foggers for cover, Norman kills the surgeon and engages Raylan. During the fight, a stray gunshot by Raylan kills Tara's mother which causes her own wheelchair to move, dragging a handcuffed Tara. Norman gouges out Raylan's eyes and leaves him for dead, while Tara, still handcuffed at her own mother's wheelchair, escapes by cutting off her mother's arms just as Josephine's body falls down the pool along with her wheelchair and Tara herself.

A badly wounded Norman confirms to Tara that her father was telling the truth. He confesses his crimes, including murder and rape, and tells her to flee to safety. Raylan appears and stabs Norman, only to be fatally stabbed by Tara, resulting in Raylan falling down the empty pool to his wife's corpse. Tara attempts to help Norman, claiming she can save him, to which he replies she already has, before apparently succumbing to his wounds. Tara leaves and heads to a children's home she had seen earlier. She approaches a group of children playing and introduces herself as Phoenix.

In a post-credits scene, Raylan's dog approaches Norman's seemingly dead body and licks his fingers. One of them slightly moves, revealing that Norman is still alive.

''Tournament of Dreams'' includes two scenarios featuring jousting and duels that will test the player character knights' virtue and courage: * '''The Tournament of Dreams''' At a tournament in the pagan land of Sugales, the knights are tempted by enchantments as they are drawn into a courtly power struggle. The adventure includes a map of Sugales.
* '''Circle of Gold''' The knights must win their way to the fiefdom known as the Circle of Gold (described in the ''Noble's Book'') by defeating the land's chivalric defenders in single combat.

Part I - ''Glamour Girls''

Frustrated with her limited achievements and an inability to hold down a stable relationship with eligible suitors, penniless call girl Sandra (Jennifer Okere) moves to Lagos after close friend Doris (Gloria Anozie) offers to help her find her footing as a 'senior girl'. With the help of Doris and the latter's other friend Thelma (Ngozi Ikpelue), Sandra meets the wealthy Esiri (Peter Bunor) who instantly proposes marriage and offers her a job with his bank, but this new status is threatened when Dennis (Pat Attah), a struggling job-seeker several years younger than Sandra, takes an interest in her. Sandra is torn between the two men but eventually chooses Dennis, to the chagrin of the scorned Esiri who vows to ruin Sandra. Doris, who has since fallen out with her old friend following an argument, approves of his decision.

Jane (Liz Benson), another Lagos 'senior girl' who attended school with Doris and Thelma, is set to marry Desmond (Sola Fosudo), a wealthy businessman who remains devoted to his fiancée despite a warning from her scheming stepmother who reveals details of Jane's promiscuous past. After Desmond is involved in an automobile accident that leaves him disabled, Jane catches the eye of presidential aspirant Alex (Raymond Johnson) who urges her to leave Desmond for him. She soon discovers her new lover's presidential aspirations are a fraud to con her out of her money after she divorces Desmond who is still recovering in hospital. Jane regrets meeting Alex, and plots revenge.

In a nod to ''Pretty Woman'', high-class hooker Helen (Barbara Odoh) agrees to spend a week with a software entrepreneur (JT Tom West) after he hires her for the night and is mesmerised by her beauty and background. Before their meeting she had entered prostitution as a means of acquiring materialism, accused innocent men of refusing to pay for her services, blackmailed regular customer Chief Esiri with scandalous photos, and nearly slept with her brother (Keppy Ekpenyoung-Bassey).

Part II - ''Glamour Girls: The Italian Connection''

The second part of the film—''Glamour Girls: The Italian Connection''—focuses mainly on prostitution. Thelma has since married and moved abroad, but Sandra finds herself in dire straits after Esiri terminates their arrangement. She once again approaches Doris, now a procurer trafficking young girls to Italy to work in the sex trade. Sandra travels to Italy where she works as a prostitute, but is distrught to discover her new boss Maureen (Dolly Unachukwu) receives her fees. Maureen is a ruthless pimp who has tricked families in Nigeria into sending their daughters abroad for a better life when in reality they are forced to work as prostitutes or face dire consequences.

''The Great Old Ones'' is a book of six loosely linked scenarios involving some of the Cthulhu-mythos Elder Gods:

• "The Spawn", set in New Mexico, involving the disappearance of a labour organizer.
• "Still Waters", a haunted house adventure.
• "Tell Me, Have You See the Yellow Sign", set in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, based on Robert W. Chambers's ''Yellow Sign''.
• "One in Darkness" mixes 1920s gangsters with horror.
• "The Pale God", based on the short story ''Before the Storm'' by Ramsey Campbell.
• "Bad Moon Rising", set in England.

None of the adventures has story hooks for any of the other adventures, so the referee can choose to present the adventures as six stand-alone sessions, or find a way to link them together. The book also includes 25 pages of player handouts and ''Call of Cthulhu'' character sheets in Japanese, French, German, and Spanish.

Series 1

A massive solar flare strikes Europe, blowing the electric grid and navigational systems, leaving much of Britain without power and creating social and political chaos. As a result, Prime Minister Robert Sutherland must decide how and where to distribute a limited number of relief generators to provide power. Meanwhile, his daughter Ellie's best friend dies after consuming cocaine and fentanyl Ellie provided. In order to avoid scandal and potentially prison, Ellie is encouraged to lie by Press Secretary Peter Mott and her mother, Rachel Sutherland, to say the dead friend brought the drugs.

The outage continues in Northumberland, leading to a vigilante force blockading access to the region, hijacking trucks of fuel and water, and calling for an overthrow of the government. Anna Marshall, Sutherland's Chief of Staff, is unexpectedly visited by an old flame from her days as a war correspondent and finds the passion still exists. Upon finding that he could be associated with a Bosnian mobster, Marshall confides her liaison to Eleanor James, Head of the Joint Intelligence Committee, whose loyalties lie more with the Home Secretary than with the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Home Secretary Archie Glover-Morgan works to unseat Sutherland by exploiting every possible angle, including the death of Ellie's friend and Marshall's indiscretion, to embarrass and discredit him.

Sutherland uses the British Army to break the Northumberland blockade by any means necessary, including the controversial decision to authorise deadly force, and a young photojournalist is killed. Condemning the handling of the crisis, Glover-Morgan orchestrates a vote of no confidence, then tries to bribe Sutherland into manoeuvring staff into his favour in return for his support during the vote. But after delivering on a promise and successfully restoring power to a beleaguered hospital, series 1 ends with Sutherland calling for a general election, confident he will win.

Series 2

An explosion on a sunken World War II ammunition ship devastates the north Kent coastline, causing hundreds of deaths including that of the area's local MP. Rescue attempts are blocked by a cyber attack that brings mobile communications down, which the government believes may have been orchestrated by Russia in retaliation for Britain's arrest of two people believed to be responsible for the killing of a Ukrainian oligarch that also killed a local rugby coach. As more cyber attacks continue, targeting Border Security at Dover and the Kent water supply, Sutherland and his government (with a narrow majority of nine votes) must find out who is responsible whilst dealing with chaos and panic in the streets. Sutherland must also deal with political threats from both a reinvigorated Labour Party and Glover-Morgan, whom he reluctantly returns the whip to in order to bolster the Tory majority.

Married couple Nell and Simon host a yearly Christmas dinner at their country estate for their former school friends and their spouses. This Christmas is a special occasion with everyone dressing in formal wear and the children being allowed to swear. It is gradually revealed that because of an imminent environmental catastrophe in which a rolling gas cloud is killing most life forms, the British government has issued suicide pills for a quick and easy death before the cloud hits Britain. The suicide pills were delivered to the entire population, except for the homeless and irregular migrants. Nell, Simon, and the rest of their friends have made a suicide pact to take the pills and give them to their children. However, while James agrees with his friends over the decision, his young wife Sophie has recently discovered she is pregnant and is still unsure whether to take the pill.

There are several confrontations during the night: Kitty is given a doll that resembles her, and she hugs her father, but refuses to hug Sandra even though she begs her to; Art finds the act of gift giving ridiculous, so he lashes out at the adults and runs from the room; Sandra tells James she had loved him when they were in school and wondered why they never had sex; Tony gets visibly upset at her admission and claims he has never made a mistake, at which point Bella says they once had sex before he got together with Sandra; Alex feels left out during the festivities, which causes her to drink too much and pass out in her bed.

Nell, Simon and their children video chat with Nell's mother, who is abroad, to say goodbye. The conversation leaves their eldest, Art, distressed. He begins to speculate that the government and the scientists are wrong. Art approaches James and Sophie with his fears. Sophie then reveals that she knows the poison will kill her though she does not want to take the pill. Art then tells his mother that he wants to stay with Sophie and hold her hand until they both die. Nell and Simon are distressed and try to explain to Art that he must take the pill with the rest of the family. He refuses and runs away but discovers a family on the side of the road that are dead and several packs of the pill in the car. Art begins to scream as we see small swirls of gas around him; his screams allow Simon to find him and he carries him home.

After returning home, the group realizes it is past midnight and time to take their pills. They divide into their separate rooms to say goodbye. Before the family can take their pills Art, who has swallowed some of the poison, passes out with his eyes, nose, and ears showing they have bled. James pressures Sophie to take the pill saying he will not unless she does too. Bella attempts to wake Alex to take her pill and makes her take it while she is very drunk, but she wakes and vomits the pill. Bella tells her they have five minutes and while in the kitchen they dance and Bella uses the diversion to stab Alex telling her she vomited the pill up and she is sorry. Bella collapses and Alex falls next to her. Tony, Kitty and Sandra all lie in a bed to await death when Kitty remembers her doll and runs to get it while Sandra again begs her for a hug. When Kitty returns, she sees her parents are dead and she crawls between them, finally hugging Sandra.

The following morning everyone has died, except for Art, who opens his eyes.

A military veteran returns home and joins local law enforcement to tackle a string of cases involving a legendary demon.

On a rainy night, a vengeful psychopath, Tom Cooper, is parked outside of his ex-wife's house. He removes his wedding ring and then lights a match, staring blankly at it, and a bottle of hydrocodone. Tom grabs an axe and a tank of gasoline and breaks into the house and kills her and her boyfriend, and sets the house on fire. It explodes as he drives away, expressionless.

The following morning, Rachel Flynn, a newly divorced single mother, drives her son Kyle to school during rush hour traffic. As she is running late to work, one of her clients fires her over the phone. She then honks at Tom's pickup truck, which is blocking traffic at a green light. He soon catches up to Rachel and tries to apologize, then asks for an apology in return, saying he wants to "hit reset", and that "people should apologize for anything they do wrong". The exchange escalates when Rachel tells him that she has nothing to apologize for. In return, Tom promises to teach her "what it means to have a bad day". At the end of the road, Tom drives in front of Rachel and stops. He then drives away. Unsettled, she calls her friend Andy, who is also her divorce lawyer, and arranges to meet him at a diner.

Tom somehow tracks Rachel to a gas station and switches his phone with hers while she is inside paying for her gas. She sees him outside and gets help from a customer who accompanies her back to her car. The customer gets Tom's license plate number but is killed not when Tom rams him with his truck, but after another car hits him. A more intense chase ensues, during which Tom shows Rachel that he has her phone. He uses her daily planner to locate Andy at the diner. Before she can warn Andy, Tom beats and stabs him to death in front of everyone, and is filmed by a customer. Tom tells Rachel over the phone that she must choose another one of her contacts to die next. When he suggests her ex-husband, her mother, or her son, she names the client who fired her, then calls the police, who respond to the client's home while Rachel is racing to her son's school.

However, Tom has already arrived at Rachel's home, where her brother Fred and his fiancée Mary are living. Tom confronts him, holding Mary hostage, before repeatedly pushing her into Fred's knife, killing her. He then ties Fred to a chair and tells Rachel over the phone that she has three minutes to go into the school, get Kyle, and drive away, or he will kill Fred, as he wants him to read a letter about how Rachel is a liar. Rachel desperately demands that the principal release Kyle. She gets him and drives away. When a police officer arrives at Rachel’s house, Tom sets Fred on fire. The cop shoots Tom in the shoulder and tries to put the fire out, but Tom escapes and catches up to Rachel and Kyle on a highway. They use a GPS app on her tablet to find out that Tom is in a minivan (it is indicated he killed someone for it), and is directly in front of them. When they attempt to alert a nearby police officer, Tom rams his car, causing a massive multi-vehicle car accident.

Tom pursues Rachel to her mother's house where Kyle triggers a silent alarm and hides. Rachel rams the van that Tom is driving, flipping the vehicle, but he gets out and attacks Rachel, then enters the house in search of Kyle, intent on killing him next. As he is about to walk back outside, Kyle inadvertently alerts Tom to his hiding place upstairs. Rachel comes to and enters the house in an attempt to protect Kyle, but Tom finds her and they struggle violently. When Tom begins to strangle Kyle, Rachel stabs Tom in the eye with a pair of scissors, finally killing him.

The police arrive and inform Rachel that Fred survived the attack. Rachel and Kyle leave to see Fred at the hospital. As they drive away, a car cuts Rachel off and she stops herself from honking at the angry driver. Kyle observes this and says, "Good choice." They drive away as the sun sets.

Göran has a sick leg. Since a year, he has to stay in bed. One night he hears that his parents say that he will never be able to walk again. Göran is desperate. But that very evening he is visited by Mr. Lilyvale from the land of twilight. Mr Lilyvale flies with Göran to his land. There Göran eats candy that grows on trees, drives a tram, visits the king, dances and sings. Then Mr Lilyvale brings Göran home. Göran is no longer sad about his sick leg. Because every evening at dawn Mr. Lilyvale comes back and brings Göran to the land of twilight where Göran is able to fly!

Norval Greenwood (Elijah Wood), a privileged musician who lives with his mother in a Beverly Hills mansion, receives a letter from his estranged father asking him to come and visit him. Norval, who has not seen his father since he was five years old, makes the trek to a secluded cabin overlooking the coast in Oregon. His father, Brian, is initially welcoming to him, but Norval's admission of a suicide attempt seems to anger Brian, who soon begins to display aggressive tendencies and taunt and insult Norval, even threatening him with physical violence. All this comes to a head one afternoon when Brian attacks Norval with a meat cleaver, but in the ensuing struggle, Brian has a heart attack and immediately dies.

Due to a lack of space at the local morgue, Norval is forced to keep his father's body in the cabin with him after having it embalmed. He attempts to stay in the house long enough for his mother to come and get him, but is repeatedly awakened by loud sounds from somewhere within the house. Finding a hidden family photo album, Norval sees a photo of his father and realizes that the dead man is not his father at all. He then finds a hidden hatch in the house leading to a bunker beneath, where he finds his real father bloodied and chained up. On his father's orders, he attempts to kill a man, Jethro, who arrives to torture his father, but Jethro escapes, promising revenge.

After finally freeing Brian, Norval is forced to carry him upstairs into the house. Brian reveals to Norval that after he left him and his mother, he fled to Bangkok where he and a group of three other men—Jethro, a large man named Dandy, and Gordon who was pretending to be Norval's father—kidnapped the daughter of the richest man in Thailand and successfully held her for a large ransom. Brian fled the group with their shares of the money and has been on the run ever since, funding Norval and his mother's expensive way of life with the money.

Marie Barone is taking a sculpting class, which her daughter-in-law Debra suggested to her. Marie brings an abstract sculpture she did in class to Debra's house and shows it to her, sons Raymond and Robert, and husband Frank. The family is initially impressed, until they later make a realization that it resembles a vagina, although this is unknown to Marie and Frank. Debra, Ray, and Robert get nervous from standing in front of the sculpture, which is worsened by Marie stating she made it as a "gift" for Ray to keep in the house. However, it catches Frank's attention to the point where he's staring at it, although he's not sure why.

Although Debra initially instructs to keep the statue in the house to not upset his mother, that changes the next day when she starts to "see it in [her] sleep." Ray starts his plan of removing the statue by covering it up with a garbage bag, but Marie walks in the house as he does this. Ray and Debra successfully convince Marie to remove the sculpture from the living room while pretending to love it; however, she does this via a church auction where two Sisters come to the house to view it. They observe it the same way as Debra, Ray, and Robert did when they first saw it, and refuse to take it. One of the Sisters, Ann, informs Marie about the vaginal likeness; Marie initially takes offense to the interpretation, but when she takes a closer look, she suspects she's a lesbian.

Following the failed auction, Marie is initially discontent over not being able to do what she planned, that being to make something abstract instead of a piece that resembles a real-life object; however, Ray cheers her up by complimenting the sculpture, commending how she was able to produce art that "shocked" people and got the family to discuss it, which is "what real artists do." Her sculpture is presented at an exhibit and receives a positive reception, although at the same exhibit, Frank's emotion towards the sculpt turns from appreciative to horrified after a janitor tells him the sculpture looks like a vagina.

In the early-20th century rural California, Alicianne Del Mar takes a job as a nanny at the dilapidated Nordon estate. After accidentally crashing her car en route, she wanders through the woods to locate the home, confident she will be able to as she was raised nearby and is familiar with the region. She is met by Mrs. Whitfield, an elderly woman walking her dog, who directs Alicianne to the Nordon residence. In the woods, Alicianne sees a mutilated cat, and later, what appears to be a clawed hand gripping the edge of a tree. While approaching the Nordon home, she stumbles upon an abandoned cemetery, where she witnesses a pallid figure cower behind underbrush. Frightened, Alicianne flees toward the house.

She is met by Mr. Nordon, a widower who lives in the large home with his adult son, Len, and the young Rosalie. Unbeknownst to Alicianne, Rosalie has telekinetic abilities. Len confides in Alicianne that his mother was murdered in the woods by tramps years prior. Mrs. Whitfield, who is considered a nosy nuisance to the Nordons, is attacked at her home by an unseen presence. When she tries to flee, Rosalie appears outside, taunting her and saying she has brought her "friends". Mrs. Whitfield goes to hide in her basement, but is attacked by a claw-handed figure who rips out one of her eyes before murdering her.

On Halloween, Alicianne witnesses a jack o' lantern moving on its own in the den. The same night, Rosalie, dressed as a witch, wanders into the woods to a shack occupied by one of the tramps who murdered her mother; she confronts the man, who is in possession of her mother's jewelry, while an unseen assailant uses a shotgun to kill him. Later, Rosalie's father rebukes her for sneaking out of the house, and questions why she spends so much time in the abandoned cemetery near the home. Rosalie is defiant, and accuses him of killing her mother.

Len finds the tramp's corpse in the shack, and Alicianne subsequently witnesses a mutated figure peering into the window. While Len is outside, Alicianne finds his father's corpse on the stairwell, his eye removed. Alicianne and Len flee, but Len's car breaks down as they attempt to drive away. The two are suddenly attacked by a mob of decayed zombies—the "friends" of Rosalie, whom she summons from the cemetery to commit evil deeds at her whim. Alicianne and Len manage to distract the zombies with the car horn, and barricade themselves in an abandoned factory building. The zombies eventually infiltrate, dragging Len beneath the floorboards and mutilating his head. Alicianne, now alone, hears a door opening, and attacks the intruder with an axe, only realizing moments later that it is Rosalie who she has bludgeoned. Alicianne watches in shock as Rosalie dies, and staggers out of the building in a daze.

Together, Sergeant Renfrew and Constable Kelly arrest the gang.

''Murder on the Yukon'' suffered stiff competition when Republic released ''Hi-Yo Silver'', a feature-length motion picture based on the popular radio program, ''The Lone Ranger''. The movie was a condensation of the 15-chapter cliffhanger serial released a couple years prior. (Chief Thundercloud was in the cast of both films: as the sidekick Tonto on ''Hi-Yo Silver'', and as Manti, the henchman, in ''Murder on the Yukon''.)

Among the highlights of watching Murder on the Yukon today are two famous comedians of the silent days, Snub Pollard and Al St. John, cast in minor roles. Actress Polly Ann Young played the female lead in this movie, but her role was so diminutive that, after having played the female leads in Tim McCoy and Buck Jones westerns at Columbia, she was practically hired and incorporated into the story for the sake of adding a female eye candy to the screen. Actress Dorothea Kent received more screen time in the next entry, ''Danger Ahead''. Kent, who was used to better camera breaks and parts when with Universal as a feature player, took care of herself under the circumstances.

The Barones attend a gathering at Michael's school, where the students present their own short stories to their parents. Michael showcases "The Angry Family," which depicts parents and grandparents angry at each other and screaming to the point of "hurt[ing] the kids' ears." Most of the parents show a hint of discomfort with the story, the Barones horrified. Ray, Debra, Frank, and Marie are hurt by their supposed portrayals in the story, Robert concerned about not even being mentioned. Ray blames Debra for the yelling, Debra retorting that Ray is the source of it. At a parent-teacher meeting Ray and Debra have with Eileen, Michael's teacher, they try to act as normal of a family as possible. However, this fails and Eileen mentions Debra is behaving in a similar way to the characters in "The Angry Family." Debra lashes out at the teacher, stating her feelings about his husband's relatives.

This leads to a counseling session involving the family, Father Hubley, Eileen, and counselor Adam Burk. When Burk asks for the origins of the family's anger, Marie points to Debra, who reacts negatively to the accusation. Robert, as an "outsider" of the family drama, claims Raymond to be the source due to being the center of love and affection by his relatives. Frank then suggests Marie, reasoning that she can't handle his son being married to Debra. The accusation leads to an enraged Marie commenting on modern society and the child psychology field's over-rewarding of the children and constant blame on mothers. Father Hubley concludes that there is no one source to the problem, that it's a result of all the family members being very close to each other, and that Michael's story was a "sweet" and "simple" way to send a message. The meeting ends with Hubley offering parenting books to the Barones. As Ray and Debra are about to go to bed, Michael comes to their room and tells them the book was actually inspired by the animated series ''Monster Maniacs'', which depicts a family yelling at each other.

En route, the group pick up Jack, a hitchhiker who claims to be familiar with the area, but is in reality an escaped convict. As night falls and they fail to arrive at the lake, Rod decides to pull off onto a side road and camp overnight. At the end of the winding road, they come across an abandoned house and decide to spend the night there. In the yard, the group find a burned, damaged car oddly parked atop a stone monument. Inside is a photo of a beautiful young woman, along with articles of clothing; they determine it to be a bizarre shrine of some sort.

Helen finds the home profoundly frightening, and refuses to spend the night there; she leaves, telling the others she will go on to the nearest town, but is murdered in the woods by an unseen assailant. The group manage to break into the home, and begin exploring. In the basement, they find a number of sealed coffins, and more photos of the unknown woman pasted on the walls. Further evidence suggests someone has recently inhabited the home. They are further disturbed when they come across a closet full of mementos, including what appears to be a human scalp.

The group fall asleep in a parlor after starting a fire in the fireplace, the heat of which begins to cause a plaster wall to crack. Tony, unable to sleep, continues to explore the upstairs of the house. In a drawer, he comes across a photo album containing pictures of what appears to be nude corpses. Tony eventually falls asleep on a bed, where he dreams of having sex with the woman in the photographs. Tony returns to the basement, and finds one of the coffins, labeled "Amanda," open. Jack confronts Tony in the basement, accusing him of stealing items from the house. Tony goes outside and sits in the car atop the stone monument to smoke a cigarette.

Moments later, Susan sees a woman wearing an expressionless white mask staring at her through the window. Susan subsequently has her throat slashed when she goes to find Rod. Meanwhile, Tony finds Helen's bloody corpse concealed inside the wrecked car. His screams awaken Peter and Anne, who find him crying over Helen's corpse outside. In the adjacent barn, the three find numerous vandalized motorcycles buried in hay, including Peter and Anne's. When Tony attempts to start his car, he finds it has been tampered with. Peter and Anne flee to the nearest road to flag down help, while Tony searches the house for Rod and Susan. He is confronted by a dying Jack in the stairwell, his throat slashed. Tony flees into the basement, where he is stabbed to death by the assailant.

Peter and Anne manage to flag down an aristocratic middle-aged man, Alfred, passing by in a car.

Though he was cleared of any wrongdoing, the child's grandfather, Ned McDermott, appears to be stalking Sal. Furthermore, Sal begins suffering inexplicable, painful physical symptoms that manifest out of nowhere. In one instance, Sal nearly collapses in the grocery store. He begins to suspect that McDermott has placed a curse on him.

No less, the two manage to arrive at the hospital, though Sal is particularly shaken.

Later, Sal and Jackie have dinner with their friends, Theo and Lesley. Lesley, a clairvoyant, gives Sal a tarot reading, which suggests he is in danger, but that a woman unknown to him will come to his aid. Later, Jackie confides in Lesley that she believes Adrianna Putnam, a local psychic woman whom the townspeople have branded a witch, can help Sal. While home alone one day, Sal again witnesses the hooded figure walking along the forest edge outside his house. He follows the mysterious figure as it crosses a creek and ventures deeper into the woods, but it does not respond to his repeated screams.

Following several further physical attacks, Sal visits Adrianna, accompanied by Jackie and Lesley. Adrianna confirms Sal's suspicions that McDermott has cast a curse against him. She advises Sal to burn his unfinished art studio to the ground, as this was the first place he witnessed the hooded figure that seems to be following him, which Adrianna believes is demonic. Sal heeds her advice and lights his studio on fire, but authorities arrive put out the blaze. When he tries to stop them, Sal is arrested.

A desperate Jackie goes to visit McDermott, hoping she can convince him to undo the curse against Sal. In his home, she finds a variety of tools and items that suggest he practices witchcraft. McDermott appears and attacks Jackie, and she flees in terror. She visits Adrianna for help, who asks that she bring Sal back to her home with Theo and Lesley so that they can participate in a ritual to protect him. Adrianna has the four drink from a goblet before reciting the Lord's Prayer; she explains that the purpose of the ritual is to transform the negative energy attached to Sal into something positive. Adrianna begins an incantation, but is shot dead in the midst of it by McDermott, who has arrived at the house. His attempt to abort the ritual fails, however, as the demonic force he had cursed upon Sal turns against him.

Some time later, Sal again witnesses the hooded figure in the woods behind his home. He approaches it, armed with a shotgun. Suddenly, Sal's dog senses something awry and begins to attack him. To save himself from being mauled, Sal shoots the dog. He collapses and comforts his dog as it dies.

Su and Jack, a 30-something millennial couple, decide to disconnect from their Internet-obsessed superficial lives in Brooklyn by turning off their phones for a week and staying at a remote cabin owned by their friend Raph. During their stay, Jack notices a fuzzy ball-like object in the den, which Su calls a "pouffe". While Jack is outside, Su secretly turns on her phone and listens to several strange voicemails from her mother about "giant rats" infesting New York City, that seem to consume ethanol. After a night of drinking, while the couple make love in front of a large window, Raph has arrived at the cabin but falls to the ground, revealing a "pouffe" behind him.

The couple awaken to find that Jack's sourdough starter is empty and their bottle of whiskey has been drained. Su realizes that both contained ethanol, and that the "pouffe" may be one of the giant rats her mother was rambling about. The couple hide upstairs and turn on their phones, finding they've lost signal but learning from various voicemails and texts that the "pouffes" are aliens which feed on ethanol, and that have invaded New York, forcing an emergency evacuation. Preparing to escape back to the city, the couple find that the aliens have drained their car's gasoline (due to its ethanol content). They find a Land Rover in the barn with a full tank of diesel, which the aliens ignore feeding on.

Driving through the woods, they come across another couple driving a truck, who are promptly killed by an alien. Recalling the alien's sustenance, Jack throws a bottle of wine at a distance to lure the alien into the woods. The scent of ethanol distracts the alien, which sprays a pheromone and hovers into the forest, clearing their path. Su and Jack hear a baby crying in the other couple's truck, and begrudgingly go back to rescue it. A woman hiding in the other truck emerges and holds them at gunpoint before driving off in the diesel-powered Land Rover, leaving the couple and the baby stranded in the woods. When the couple begin hallucinating due to the alien's pheromones, Su injects Jack and herself with two needles of epinephrine from the truck, knocking them unconscious.

They wake up to find an alien across the baby, who had crawled away while they were unconscious. When the alien shoots its proboscis at Jacks’ chest, Su grabs a knife and cuts it off, which deflates and kills the alien. In an ironic twist, it is revealed that Jack’s cell phone (stored in his breast pocket) aided in saving him from the alien attack. While climbing to a lookout point along the trail, they investigate a translucent structure growing out of the ground nearby. On discovering that their phones have regained signal, they check for information and call 911. Meanwhile, while they are distracted by their technology, the structure changes shape to trap them and the baby inside a sound-proof bubble, which gradually ascends beyond the atmosphere, revealing numerous other bubbles also rising into space from all over the Earth.

Bol and Rial are refugees fleeing with their daughter, Nyagak, from war-torn South Sudan. They brave stormy waters on an overcrowded motorboat, along with fellow refugees traversing the perilous English Channel from France in search of a better life. Although they survive the treacherous crossing, their daughter and many others do not. When they are finally granted probational asylum in Britain three months later, the government assigns them a shabby house with peeling walls and dismal furnishings on the outskirts of London. They are given strict restrictions or they may face deportation. They experience racism and hatred from their tenement neighbors. They are met by their case worker Mark, who tells them he hopes they are two of "the good ones."

Bol tries to assimilate: he sings football songs, asks Rial to use utensils rather than her hands when they eat, and even changes how he dresses. Bol wants to prove to the government that he and Rial belong in the UK. Rial, however, clings to their culture. She retains their daughter's necklace, dresses in colorful clothes, and rather than using a table, sits on the floor to eat. Bol and Rial soon experience strange phenomena in their new home and see visions of Nyagak and a mysterious man, who both escape into the walls.

Rial figures out that the evil in the house is an apeth or "night witch." She tells Bol the story of a poor man in her village who accidentally stole from an apeth by the river. When the thief built his home, the apeth moved in with him and haunted him. Rial believes that an apeth has followed them and if they repay their debt, the apeth will bring Nyagak back to them. However it is not immediately clear what the "debt" is. Bol burns everything they brought with them, but the apeth continues to torment him and the couple's relationship deteriorates. He goes to Mark and requests new accommodation under the guise that their unit is infested with rats, but is unable to convince him. Bol tears apart the house looking for the apeth, which threatens the couple's chances of staying in the UK when Mark discovers the damage. Rial tells Bol that she wants to leave. Bol locks Rial in the house and summons the apeth himself, who calls him a thief and claiming that Bol has stolen a life that was not his to take. The apeth offers Bol a deal: his life for Nyagak's, but he refuses this offer, resulting in Bol being forced into a state of catatonia.

Rial escapes the house but finds herself inexplicably back in South Sudan in a familiar classroom. She is reunited with old friends, who are revealed in a further flashback to be victims of a horrendous massacre. Rial was able to survive by hiding. Bol finds her and they escape as violence grips the region, but find that a bus they need to board would only let people with children on. Desperate, Bol sees Nyagak in the crowd and abducts her, falsely claiming that she is their daughter. The couple get on the bus and escape, leaving Nyagak's real mother behind as gunfire erupts. Later, when crossing the rough sea, Nyagak and others fall overboard. Neither Bol nor Rial reaches her in time. Having accepted what they did, Bol decides to repay the debt to the apeth and tells Rial. Bol starts to let the apeth into his skin and Nyagak enters the room and returns to Rial. Rial chooses to save Bol instead of accepting this alternate reality, by slitting the apeth's throat.

Later, Mark comes to inspect the house to find it repaired. Bol and Rial tell him they have chosen to stay and make it their new home. They say Rial killed the witch that haunted them, which Mark finds funny. Bol says they decided to live with the ghosts of their past from South Sudan, including Nyagak.

Two decades after Oliver Queen sacrificed himself to restore the multiverse, crime in Star City has been quiet. Oliver's daughter Mia, who has just graduated High School, lives in Queen Manor and is in a relationship with John Diggle Jr. who proposes Mia to which she accepts.

When Helena Bertinelli's adopted daughter and socialite Bianca is abducted, Laurel Lance tells Dinah Drake, who awakened in 2040 after Oliver's funeral for unknown reasons and that the current timeline does not remember who Dinah was, about Bianca's abduction. Laurel shows Dinah footage of a possible future of Star City falling back into crime if Bianca is not rescued and dies. A reluctant Dinah agrees to help Laurel rescue Bianca, but for Oliver rather than herself. Mia celebrates her proposal as a party which an alive Zoe Ramirez, her brother William, and J.J.'s ex-alcoholic brother Connor Hawke attend. Laurel uses a device on Mia which restores her pre-Crisis memories including J.J. being Deathstroke who had Zoe killed. Laurel reveals the device was created by Cisco Ramon containing J'onn J'onzz's Martian abilities. Laurel informs Mia of Bianca's situation which she disbelieves. However, Mia agrees to join upon recovering her Green Arrow training. Laurel plans for Mia to interrogate the Bertinelli's to gain information.

Having suspicions on the Bertinelli's having to do with Bianca's abduction, Mia, Laurel, and Dinah infiltrate the Bertinelli's house and places tracking devices around the house. Dinah gets a notification from the tracking device notifying them that Bianca's cousin Logan is having precautions and wants to move "it" out of the city which Laurel believes is Bianca. Laurel, Dinah, and Mia head to Bianca's location. However, they discover Logan is transferring a drug, not Bianca. The group are then attacked by a man wearing a Deathstroke mask and retreat to their headquarters. Laurel argues if J.J. is or is not behind the Deathstroke mask prompting Mia to break into J.J.'s office only to find out he was planning a honeymoon to Fiji and that Bianca is socially active on the internet. Although, Laurel and Dinah still suspect she is kidnapped and is being covered up. That night, J.J. breaks up with Mia.

Dinah encrypts a video of Bianca revealing her captivity at a greenhouse. Laurel eventually convinces Mia to become Green Arrow and help them save Bianca. Dinah shows Mia the decrypted footage which Mia deduces the background design is biophilic, meant to power the building photosynthetically. They track Bianca at a downtown guarded building containing metahuman dampeners. Upon infiltrating the building, they discover Bianca's ex-boyfriend Trevor had kidnapped Bianca because of their breakup and was Deathstroke. The team manage to rescue Bianca and flee to the rooftop where they confront Trevor. Before burning the building down killing himself, Trevor threatens that they cannot stop "her"; the group escape with Bianca.

In the aftermath, Mia and J.J. reconcile. Laurel decides to move in with Dinah, who encourages to set up a base of operations and train a new generation of Black Canaries. While visiting Oliver's memorial statue, Mia recalls the symbol on Trevor's arm is the same as the Queen family hozen just before the two are ambushed by cloaked figures who kidnap William. Another cloak figure then invades J.J.'s apartment who uses Cisco's memory device on J.J.

The planet Borg is threatened by a telepathic collision with a mysterious twin planet, a collision that cannot be proven using scientific methods. The planet's inhabitants, the Lau, will not survive the collision unless one of them performs a ritual requiring several artifacts called "elements". The seven Lau who are supposed to perform the ritual are attacked on the surface of Borg by "Breakers" — intergalactic smugglers who conduct their business through an orbiting space station operated by the United Mining Combine. The Breakers kill six of the seven Lau, but are then surprised by a squad of Gaks, the security forces of the United Mining Combine. In the course of the fighting, the surviving seventh Lau — the character controlled by the player — loses consciousness and wakes up in orbit on the space station.

The game starts from this point. The Lau is considered a Breaker by the Gaks and is confined to a single bar on the space station. The other Breakers in the bar also consider the Lau one of their own.

The player must first become familiar with the social network of the residents of the space station, take sides in a dispute between enemy smugglers and uncover cases of drug and human trafficking. The player also has to deal with the question of why United Mining Combine operates the space station in orbit at Borg, sometimes in high secrecy, even though all raw material deposits from the planet have already been depleted. The object of the game is to recover the ritual "elements", return to the planet Borg and successfully perform the ritual.

As New Berk prepares for Snoggletog, Hiccup and Astrid find out that their children, Zephyr and Nuffink have developed a fear of dragons after finding some of Stoick's old books. To avoid their children bearing the same hatred towards dragons as their ancestors, Astrid suggests bringing back the Snoggletog Pageant that tells the story of how Vikings and dragons made peace. Gobber agrees to help them with the pageant as he sees it as a chance to remind the children of New Berk how much of an impact Stoick had on their village. He casts himself as Stoick and Tuffnut as Hiccup while the real Hiccup creates a mechanical costume that resembles Toothless.

Back in the Hidden World, Toothless draws a picture of Hiccup and New Berk in the sand and shows it to the Light Fury and their children. The Night Lights grow curious about the picture's origin and decide to fly to New Berk while their parents are sleeping. Toothless and the Light Fury wake up in a panic after finding out their children have left while they were sleeping, and fly off after them. Meanwhile the Nights Lights arrive on New Berk and sneak around the village as the residents prepare for the pageant. Though they catch a glimpse of Hiccup, they fall back upon coming across Hiccup's Toothless costume. Toothless and the Light Fury eventually find them, but then decide to stay together and watch the pageant from a distance.

Gobber accidentally lights the stage on fire during the performance, which sends Hiccup's costume out of control. Hiccup stumbles and falls off the cliff, but Toothless manages to rescue him and bring him back to the stage. With the smoke from the fire covering the stage, Toothless decides to fill in for Hiccup and helps Gobber end the show by reenacting the moment when he bonded with Hiccup, reminding New Berk and his family of the relationship the dragons had with the Vikings. After the show ends, Zephyr goes backstage to check on her father and ends up face-to-face with Toothless before he flies off with his family. Toothless' courteous and curious personality changes the way Zephyr views dragons.

Despite the pageant's disastrous performance, Hiccup and Astrid see that the youth of New Berk now have a newfound appreciation for both Stoick and the dragons. When they arrive at their home, they find a glowing crystal from the Hidden World and see that the bowl that contained Toothless' favorite fish is empty. They run outside and see Toothless and his family flying away from New Berk, which reminds Hiccup that their loved ones are always close as long as they hold them in their hearts. Astrid thinks their family should return the favor by visiting Toothless and the dragons at the Hidden World.

A young man named Kurt Kunkle is obsessed with being a social media star and becoming viral. A child he used to babysit, Bobby, is now an internet celebrity who frequently makes livestreams and has high viewer numbers, making Kurt jealous. Kurt finds work as a driver for a rideshare app called Spree, then fits out his car with cameras and begins a new livestream titled "The Lesson", where he instructs viewers on how to become famous on social media.

Kurt starts picking up passengers and killing them with poisoned bottles of water that he hands out in his car to gain attention. Despite this, he doesn't gain any viewers besides Bobby, who believes the killings are fake. One of the passengers Kurt accepts is Jessie Adams, a comedian with a large social media following. Kurt is awestruck by Jessie, but she is unimpressed by Kurt and his obsession with gaining followers and leaves the ride. Kurt later learns that Jessie will be performing in a comedy show that will be livestreamed to millions. Kurt goes to Bobby's house, demanding that Bobby share Kurt's stream, but Bobby refuses and starts livestreaming their argument, attracting a large audience. Kurt kills Bobby and takes his gun before livestreaming for Bobby's fans, who assume the murder is fake.

Kurt's father Kris asks him for a ride to a club where he is performing, claiming that a famous DJ called uNo will be there and promising that the DJ will tag Kurt in a photo. When Kurt picks up Kris and takes him to the club, he approaches uNo; she initially refuses to tag him, but then asks him to take her to a taco truck with the promise of tagging him. While waiting for Kurt to get her some food from the truck, uNo discovers Bobby's gun and poses with it on a livestream before drinking some of the poisoned water and passing out. After realizing this, Kurt attempts to drive away but is stopped by two police officers, who grow suspicious of him. It is revealed that Kurt's murders have already become known to the public, with Kurt being called "The Rideshare Killer" after police are unable to identify him.

uNo, having survived drinking the poisoned water, wakes up and panics, shooting dead one of the officers before fleeing, pursued by the second officer. Kurt tries to flee, but he too is pursued by more police, forcing him to escape while crashing his car through a homeless camp. With Kurt's murders becoming more well known, Spree is temporarily shut down to allow an investigation to take place. Jessie begins her show, performing a bit about her encounter with Kurt and how disgusted she is by people's desperation for social media fame before concluding her set by destroying her phone on stage, followed by a mic drop. Her actions cause her speech to go viral. After getting drunk, she is picked up by Kurt via another rideshare app called GoGo, with Kurt having killed the previous driver. Kurt gloats that as Jessie destroyed her phone on stage, she has no way of calling for help; she tries to escape after learning he is taking her to his house.

Unable to get out of the car, Jessie garrotes Kurt with a charger cable, causing them to crash, but Kurt recovers and beats Jessie unconscious. He arrives at his house and places Jessie's unconscious body outside before being requested by his now-eager viewers to kill Jessie. Distracted by a faulty camera, Kurt doesn't notice Jessie regaining consciousness. She manages to take control of the car and crashes into Kurt's house while trying to run him over. Kurt flees into the house while Jessie is confronted by an intoxicated Kris. The pair discover Kurt's dead mother, who had been killed by Kurt at the start of his livestream. Kurt shoots his father dead and tries to kill Jessie, but she pins him to the wall with the car, and beats him to death with his own phone. She takes a selfie with his dead body and posts it on her Instagram account.

Jessie becomes a nationwide star after taking credit for disrupting Kurt's rampage, while Kurt and his killings become revered in small corners of the internet.

While in a boat, the player gets swarmed by zombies hiding in the water and crashes onto a cemetery. After navigating through the cemetery, the player finds Henri strung upside down and close to death, the player can either talk to him and find out what happened and then mercy kill him or let him die. After Henri is dead, the player finds a broken down bus made into a survival shelter where Henri was doing his research. In the bus the player finds some food, old military codes, and a broken radio, which Henri was trying to repair. The player already has an Automotive battery and an Antenna (radio), but is still in need of a microphone. The player must then head out to the first location on the map to salvage the sought after item. After installing it, the player then makes contact with Casey, who is trapped in the reserve due to a flooding of the bunker. The player then agrees to help Casey get out of the Reserve in return of the valuable items inside it. Whilst talking to Casey, the conversation gets interrupted by a lantern lighting up on the graveyard. After further investigation by the player, a coffin is found where a mysterious person has been gathering intel from the Tower.

After getting all of the intel, May gives the player the Reserve key. (May can also be killed to skip her entire story line and get the key immediately). Casey also wants the player to find and install pumping systems to pump out the water in the Reserve. After finding the first two, the player travels to one of the locations (The Bastion) and meets JB, the leader of The Reclaimed, who gives the player the water pump after talking as well as the code to control the water pumps, telling the player to flood all of the reserve, as it would be better for everyone. After leaving the building that JB is in, the player is stopped by Georgia, the commander of The Tower and niece of Mama, the leader of The Tower, who tells the player to kill JB and they'll forgive the player for all that happened.

The player then returns to the graveyard and installs the last pump which then lights up the entire Reserve, showing everyone where it is.

The player then scrambles to hurry to the church to get to the Reserve, where a huge battle breaks out. If the player chose to kill JB, the Tower people will not attack the player, if not though, the Tower will attack the player but they will be ignored by The Reclaimed. During the battle, the player sneaks into the church and finds the control room where they are informed by Casey that something has gone wrong and that the player has to flood a room to save him. The player can either flood the communication room where Casey is trapped in, killing him instantly, flood the armory where the weapons and supplies are stored, or flood everything. If the player floods the Armory, Casey will come out in the church. If May is still alive by that point of the game, she is tugging on a rope of the church bell to send the horde after the factions that are fighting. The player can either choose to kill May, or let May pull the bells and kill everyone. After deciding, the player heads down into the Reserve, gathers whatever supplies are left from either the communication room or the armory, and leaves on a boat.

Antonio LeBlanc is a Korean-American adoptee and tattoo artist living outside New Orleans with his pregnant wife Kathy, a rehabilitation nurse, and her daughter Jessie. Due to his criminal record, he is unable to find additional employment to support his family, though Kathy offers to resume working to help make ends meet.

After being physically harassed by NOPD officers Ace and Denny, the former being Jessie’s absent biological father, Antonio is violently arrested. He is placed into ICE custody and faces deportation when it is revealed that his adoptive parents never naturalized him pursuant to Child Citizenship Act of 2000. Antonio and Kathy seek to appeal his deportation with the help of immigration lawyer Barry Boucher, who requests a $5,000 retainer. Barry warns, however, that if his appeal fails, he can never return to America again.

Antonio strikes up a friendship with Parker, a Vietnamese refugee with terminal cancer who came to America with her father when she was a child, and whose mother had died during the journey. After receiving a tattoo of Fleur-de-lis from Antonio, she invites his family to a communal cookout at her home. Still unable to afford Barry’s services, Antonio and his friends resort to stealing motorcycles and selling them, with Antonio nearly getting caught. Antonio pays Barry, claiming that the money was an advance from work, which Kathy finds suspicious. Barry tells Antonio that due to his criminal record and a lack of factors that would make his appeal favorable, his best chance is to seek support from his adoptive mother, who is still alive – something Antonio had hid from Kathy.

Deeply hurt over this lack of disclosure and even more devastated by his refusal to contact his adoptive mother, due to her refusal to defend themselves against his physically-abusive adoptive father, Kathy leaves with Jessie and moves in with her mother. Having begun to lose hope, Antonio severs his friendship with Parker.

Eventually, Antonio chooses to see his now-widowed mother, who appears apathetic and unwilling to appear for his trial. Antonio is fired by his boss at the tattoo parlor due to unpaid debts. He makes amends with Parker, whose cancer has gotten worse. When she falls unconscious, he takes her to the hospital. Kathy gives birth to her and Antonio’s daughter, and they reunite.

On the day of Antonio’s hearing, Kathy, Jessie, Antonio’s friends, Ace, and Antonio’s mother, arrive to offer support. Antonio, unbeknownst to them, is abducted by Denny and his friends, who viciously assault him and leave him for dead. Knowing that he's guaranteed to be deported, Antonio attempts to commit suicide by drowning but cannot bring himself to do it. Denny brags to Ace about assaulting Antonio and making him miss his hearing, and Ace, disgusted by Denny, drives him to the hospital where Kathy works. He handcuffs him to the steering wheel telling him he is going to jail. He then goes and fetches Kathy telling her offscreen what Denny has done. She promptly walks to the car and beats him asking him while sobbing if he knows what he’s done. She then falls to the ground outside the car in tears.

After saying his final goodbyes to his friends, Antonio is escorted by ICE to the airport for deportation to South Korea. Intending to go with him, Kathy and Jessie manage to locate Antonio at the airport. Ace also arrives, wanting to say his farewells to Jessie before she leaves. Not wanting to displace his own family and not knowing where he'll be sent, Antonio tells them to stay in America until he is stable elsewhere. Unable to let go of an inconsolable Jessie, Antonio is forcibly separated from her as she cries out for him.

As the film ends, real-life cases of other unnaturalized adoptees who are either facing deportation or have been deported are shown, along with the estimates by the Adoptee Rights Campaign of international adoptees who face similar circumstances.

Six youths of different backgrounds come together to form a team of top elite spies of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Alcoholic Rayburn Swanson is the owner of the Gwen Swanson Sanctuary, named after his missing daughter. The sanctuary is an act of penance, both because Gwen disapproved of his trapper lifestyle and because she had disappeared from his car five years earlier while he went into a store to buy whiskey. Rayburn keeps hunters out by using surveillance cameras.

Sheriff Alice Gustafson is the sister of a troubled young man, Brooks. While examining the body of a young girl found by a lake, Alice notices a scar on the girl's throat, along with the point of a spear-head (marked with an “MB”) buried in a tree. After learning about the body, Rayburn arrives to make a positive ID, but it is not Gwen. Alice learns that the spear was used with a rare weapon known as an atlatl.

Rayburn sees a man in a ghillie suit stalking the woods; when Rayburn attempts to confront the man, he is wounded by a thrown spear. While fleeing, he comes across a black pickup truck with the license plates removed. He marks the truck by scratching a small 'x' on the fender. After returning home and stitching his wound, he reviews his surveillance footage and observes a girl being hunted in the sanctuary by the same man. Rayburn returns to the sanctuary and rescues the girl, Molly, then keeps her safe in an unused spike trap overnight. She was rendered mute, having a throat scar similar to the one on the dead girl. They make it back to the cabin the next evening but are ambushed by the hunter. The hunter injures Rayburn and stabs Molly with a spear. Alice arrives and, after seeing that Molly has been stabbed, immediately suspects Rayburn, until the hunter appears behind her. Still disguised, his mannerisms cause her to believe it is her brother. Alice shoots Rayburn, wounding him, and causing him to flee so that her brother can escape.

Alice searches for Rayburn and steps on a bear trap he had set, injuring her ankle. He escapes in her patrol car and calls an ambulance for Molly; Alice calls for Rayburn's arrest. He flees to the home of his former wife, Debbie, and her husband, Karl Blackhawk, Sheriff of the local Indian tribal police. They take him to the "Factory", an abandoned mill where the homeless stay, and call Dr. Boone to treat him. Brooks coincidentally arrives and is arrested by Karl, although he has an alibi to establish his innocence. Alice, realizing her moral failure, promises Molly, now hospitalized, that she will catch the killer.

Rayburn decides to clean up and throw out his liquor, except for the still unopened bottle he bought on the day Gwen had gone missing. He remembers the marked truck and locates it. After breaking into a house, he finds the same weapons and clothes worn by the killer, along with a trove of "missing" posters, including one for his daughter. After finding a still-living girl under a sheet with her throat surgically cut open, the killer appears and captures Rayburn by knocking him unconscious.

Alice notices issues with the autopsy report by Dr. Boone. While waiting for him in his office, she sees a photo of the doctor with his daughter Melissa wearing a necklace with the initials "MB". Alice realizes that Boone is the killer and immediately calls for backup to raid Boone's home; the same home Rayburn had found.

Boone explains to Rayburn that while grieving his own daughter, who had been killed by a drunk driver, he began kidnapping and killing teen girls to "save" them from bad parents, including Rayburn. Boone takes Rayburn to the wildlife sanctuary and forces him to flee so that he can be hunted. Alice sees Rayburn on the surveillance. Rayburn overpowers Boone and is beating him severely as Alice arrives; she attempts to stop Rayburn, but he ignores her and throws Boone into one of the spike traps, mortally wounding him. Alice looks on as Rayburn closes the doctor in, telling her that they are even. She later sits in a patrol car, listening to the radio about the ongoing manhunt for Dr Boone.

Rayburn and his ex-wife have a funeral for Gwen, which Molly attends, providing him closure. He then empties his last bottle of whisky into the lake in memory of his daughter.

Ray explains to Debra that he won't allow the Williamsons to come over if he brings over Spencer again. However, Debra is very committed to starting a new friend and doesn't want Ray's opinion towards Spencer to ruin it; she dismisses Ray's claims as nothing more than a hatred for kids, and tells him to suck it up.

The next visiting of the Williamsons, Spencer starts to bother Ray's daughter Ally. When Ray and Debra tell Ally to play on the computer and Spencer, Geoffrey and Michael to play somewhere else, Spencer announces he'll jump on the beds.

An adulterous man named Talmudge finds himself lost in a rainstorm on his way back to his hotel. He is invited indoors from the rain by a mortician, who tells Talmudge that he acquires and embalms the bodies of people who experienced interesting and unique deaths. The mortician shows Talmudge several caskets, and details the fates of each of their occupants.

The first casket contains the body of Miss Sibiler, a school teacher who had a disdain for children. She is shown seemingly alone at home in her kitchen, where she turns on a radio and hears a mysterious noise coming from elsewhere. She investigates the sound to no avail, and upon returning to the kitchen, notices that the radio has been turned off. She goes upstairs to shower, and sees a silhouette through the shower curtain. Panicked, she closes and locks the doors and windows in her house. She is then confronted by three masked children, and initially believes that they have been playing a prank on her. However, more children enter her home, and remove their masks to reveal sharp teeth. They surround Miss Sibiler and maul her to death.

The second coffin holds the body of Growski, a man who had an affinity for cameras and photography. He is shown filming himself in his home, having invited a woman named Julie over for dinner. He convinces Julie, who is unaware that a camera is recording them, to remove her stockings so that he may perform a magic trick with them. He instead uses them to fatally choke her. He is then seen with a woman named Carol, who notices that the camera is running. He subdues her with a chokehold before strangling her with a cable. Finally, he is seen with Mrs. Lumquist, whom he stabs when she attempts to call a taxi to take her home.

Eventually, Toliver invites McDowal to his home to reveal his conclusion—that he, himself, is the intended victim, and that McDowal is the killer. McDowal shoots him, but Toliver, wearing a bulletproof vest, remarks that he solved the case two days prior, and activates a blade that impales McDowal. Toliver then opens McDowal's briefcase, which contains a timed explosive. The mortician possesses McDowal's body, and discloses that Toliver's body was too fragmented to be buried.

The fourth story follows an insensitive office worker named Cantwell. After dismissing the plight of a homeless man, Cantwell enters an empty store, and is unable to open the doors that lead back outside. He explores the place and is almost crushed in an elevator shaft. He becomes trapped in the building, and is subjected to mental and physical anguish, with only alcohol to drink. Eventually, an exit appears, and Cantwell wanders back into the outside world. Dirty and bloodied, Cantwell approaches a businessman who disregards him before entering the building himself. The mortician explains that Cantwell ultimately died in a gutter from a rotten liver.

Talmudge notices a fifth casket, which is empty. The mortician says that it belongs to someone who practiced infidelity. He then reveals that he knows Talmudge's name, and refers to him as a client of his. Frightened, Talmudge runs away, and is cornered in an alley and shot by the husband of a woman whom Talmudge was intimate with. Talmudge is loaded into an ambulance, and the mortician is shown sitting in the passenger's seat.

The Doctor drops her companions off in Sheffield to spend time with friends and family, while she responds to an alert from Aleppo, Syria, in 1380. There, she saves Tahira, the last patient alive in a mental hospital, from a threatening creature.

Meanwhile, the Doctor's companions have dark visions: Graham sees a trapped woman pleading for help; Yaz has nightmares about a man in dark clothes; Ryan sees the same man detaching his fingers and placing them in his friend Tibo's ears after which they both vanish. The three contact the Doctor simultaneously.

The Doctor uses the TARDIS's telepathic controls to track down Graham's vision, locating it near a spacecraft lodged between two planets, preventing the planets from colliding. Inside the craft is a small prison structure with a power source protected by a quantum fluctuation lock. They also find signals being sent from Earth to the prison via the detached fingers. The Doctor manipulates the lock while the others explore the craft, but are captured by the dark-clothed man. Just as the Doctor opens the lock, the man reveals himself to the Doctor as the immortal god Zellin, and thanks her for rescuing his ally, Rakaya, another immortal god that had been trapped in the prison. The two thrive in causing chaos and had turned the civilizations on the two planets against each other before their inhabitants learned how to trap Rakaya. To keep her sane, Zellin sent her nightmares from humans on Earth.

Zellin and Rakaya trap the Doctor and travel to Earth to feed off nightmares. The Doctor frees herself and her allies and discovers how to manipulate Zellin's fingers to engage the prison.

Computer game designer Brendan (Charlie Hofheimer) and his wife, Claire (Aleksa Palladino), are grieving for their daughter Sam (Madeleine McGraw), who drowned trying to retrieve her Curious George doll from the ocean. As they reluctantly rummage through Sam's belongings, Brendan finds a copy of ''The Berenstain Bears''. To the bewilderment of Brendan and his brother-in-law Matt (Robin Lord Taylor), they remember the title with "Bereinstein," even though they find no evidence that it was ever changed. This leads them to learn about many other examples of the "Mandela Effect," collectively shared "false" memories. Brendan and Claire discover further discrepancies, such as clearly remembering that Sam's doll had a tail when it actually does not.

Eventually, Brendan concludes that the discrepancies are due to shifts between parallel universes and that Sam is still alive in one of them. Despite objections from Claire and Matt, he tracks down Dr. Roland Fuchs (Clarke Peters), a scientist who has been alienated for holding similar beliefs. Dr. Fuchs's research indicates that the universe is a computer simulation, with the Mandela Effect being the result of reality being rewritten to prevent its inhabitants from exposing it as a simulation. They begin developing a special computer program that, when run on the quantum computer of Dr. Fuch's old campus, could interrupt the simulation.

This revelation takes a toll on Brendan's daily life and marriage. He also begins to have visions of Sam, which at first no one else sees, until one day she is inexplicably alive and everyone can perceive her. Disconcerted, Brendan visits Dr. Fuchs, only to be informed that he died by suicide two months ago. Having talked to him mere hours before, Brendan acknowledges the alteration as the simulation's attempt to thwart their plan. He rushes to finish the program, breaks into the college campus and runs it on the quantum computer. Glitches manifest and destabilize reality, prompting Brendan to rush home. As the family hold each other tightly, the simulation crashes.

The simulation restarts, recreating the history of the universe. The family is shown at the beach again, with this time Brendan asking Sam to leave her Curious George doll —now without a tail— before going to the water. This saves Sam's life and allows the simulation to continue beyond the event that originally led to its discovery and crash.

Donald Duck is put on trial by a restaurant.

Donald is trying to have his lunch, but it is raining hard outside. Ducking into a fancy restaurant, a waiter seats him. As he only has a nickel, Donald feels that he can use it to get a cup of coffee. However, he only receives a cup of espresso which is the size of a thimble. Donald flies into a rage at this, refusing to pay.

As the waiter tries to figure out what to do, he spots Donald unpacking his dishes from his lunch box. Being sneaky, Pierre decides to charge Donald for the food that he brought into the restaurant. This leads to Donald receiving a bill for $35.99 (equal to $442.50 in 2022). Once again angered at the injustice, Donald flies into a rage, and the matter is taken to court.

Donald's lawyer portrays and confesses him as a victim in the entire mess, but the judge rules in favor of the restaurant, ordering Donald to either pay ten dollars, or wash dishes for ten days, OR ELSE!!!

Donald accepts the ten days, but spends the entire time at the restaurant's kitchen sink ''destroying'' the dishes. The waiter pleads with Donald to stop, promising to let the whole matter go, but Donald angrily turns to him and says, 'You heard what the Judge said...ten days!' and continues with his reckless 'chore'.

Park Yong-gak, a former KCIA director, testifies against the South Korean President, Park, in a United States Senate Committee investigation. With the threat of Park publishing his manuscript on the regime, President Park of South Korea sends Kim Gyu-pyeong, the current KCIA Director to stop Park Yong-gak from publishing his manuscript. Kim goes to Washington, where the two meet and Kim demands the manuscript from Park. Park Yong-gak hands it over but implies the president's corruption by suggesting that President Park is being financially backed by offshore Swiss accounts.

With his mission accomplished, Kim returns to South Korea and consequently, faces conflict with Kwak Sang-cheo, President Park's bodyguard. A wiretapping plot on the president is discovered and Kim becomes suspicious of a professor who is present at the search in the President's office. Through interrogation, Kim finds out that a KCIA agent has acted without orders from him. He sends an agent, Ham Dae-yong, to Paris to further investigate the situation.

In Paris, through means of wiretapping, Ham discovers that the KCIA agent was not acting on his own, but rather under orders from Kwak. Through this, it is discovered that Kwak has ordered the assassination of ex-Director Park, who will be visiting Paris. It is during this time that President Park gives Director Kim the freedom to do what he wishes with the ex-Director. Kim, not to be outdone by Kwak, resolves to have Park Yong-gak killed.

In Paris, two different teams both with the aim of assassinating ex-Director Park prepare to kill him. Kwak's team seeks to lure Park into his room, while Kim's team seeks to kidnap him and then kill him. With the help of Park Yong-gak's aide, Deborah Shim, who is used as bait, Director Kim's team is able to nab ex-Director Park first, driving him out of Paris. However, Park is able to momentarily escape to a nearby town but is tracked down by Ham, who promptly kills him and disposes of his body.

Park is displeased with Kim's handling, however, noting that Kim didn't solve the problem of apparently stolen finances that were procured by Park Yong-gak. Kim's friendship with President Park deteriorates further as a result and Park begins distrusting Kim. Kim, who is deeply torn by the killing, as the ex-Director was his friend, begins to break down under stress.

Sometime after the killing of ex-Director Park, President Park and his administration are faced with a new issue in the form of pro-democracy protests in Busan and Masan, as well as fears that these protests could spread to Seoul. Kwak takes a hardline stance, advising harsh and swift military intervention, and declaration of martial law. Kim suggests a more levelhanded approach and urges Park to avoid declaring martial law. Park, favoring Kwak, proceeds with a declaration of martial law.

Following this, Kim is told that Park is holding a banquet but has not invited him, but rather Kwak. Kim goes anyway to eavesdrop on Park and Kwak and learns that Park is considering replacing Kim. Yet again, Park gives a subordinate clearance to do what they wish, the subordinate this time being Kwak.

On October 26, Park is doing a day of ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Kim attempts to join him and Kwak at the helicopter, but Kwak bars him from joining. Riled, Kim calls his subordinates with the intent of planning something. That night, Park invites Kim to a dinner. It's intended to be an apology of sorts, but Kim is unmoved.

During the dinner Kim leaves to get a pistol and meets with his subordinates, and tells them that he will kill Park. Upon returning to the room, the conversation becomes heated. It culminates in Kim shooting and wounding Kwak in the arm. He then turns on Park and shoots him too. As this happens, Kim's subordinates organize a coordinated attack on the compound where the dinner is being held and kill the remaining bodyguards. Kim attempts to finish Kwak, but the pistol jams, and he is forced to leave the room in order to get another gun from an agent. He returns to the room, shooting and killing Kwak and killing Park with a shot to the head.

Kim quickly leaves with his subordinates and the notables present at the compound during the attack. He is given the choice between going to Namsan or the Army Headquarters. The Chief Presidential Secretary, bearing witness to the assassination, suggests that he go to the Army Headquarters. Kim considers this as the screen fades to black. The movie ends with a text saying that Kim chose to drive to the Army Headquarters, where he was caught.

Following a brutal attack, violinist Ellen Ashland (Madelaine Petsch) is left blind. Clayton (Alexander Koch) is hired to care for her and she begins to adjust to life without her sight. One night, Ellen hears a distressed woman's voice; she initially believes the woman is in her apartment but then realises the noise is coming through the vent. The following morning, her neighbour shows up and introduces herself as Lana.

As time goes on, Ellen grows suspicious of Lana. When she touches Lana's face, she feels a wound with stitches and is alarmed. Lana reacts by warning Ellen to trust no one and then flees Ellen's apartment upon the arrival of her abusive husband, Russo. Ellen contacts Detective Bryce who sends Officer Neiman to check on Lana; he confirms she is okay and does not have any recent wounds. Ellen expresses her concerns to Clayton who starts to show a romantic interest in Ellen, but when he confesses his feelings, she turns him down.

When Clayton leaves the apartment one afternoon, another person enters and attacks Ellen. She manages to dial 911 before she passes out. She is awaken by a paramedic and Detective Bryce who reassures her that after Clayton left her apartment, nobody else entered. Detective Bryce confirms to Ellen that her friend Sasha, who was having an affair with Ellen's ex-husband, is the prime suspect in Ellen's attack. Feeling alone and unsure of anyone, Ellen decides to commit suicide. She writes letters to her brother, Sasha, and Clayton, and then jumps from her apartment balcony.

Ellen wakes up on the floor of a soundproof room and quickly realises the apartment she was staying in was fake, and all of the noises "outside" were coming from a speaker system. She explores the hallway only to find she cannot escape. Ellen goes to Lana for help, who tells her that this is home. Clayton then arrives to cook Ellen dinner and she realises all of the people she has interacted with since her attack - the doctors, the detective, the paramedic, Russo - were all Clayton, dressed up differently. Ellen knocks Clayton unconscious and finds Lana who reveals she is Clayton's sister and she helped him kidnap Ellen. She then tells Ellen their only hope of escape is by using the hidden vent in Clayton's room.

Clayton finds and once again captures Ellen. He confesses that after his mother's death, his father kept him captive in the basement for three years, during which time Lana played Ellen's music for him, thus resulting in his obsession. Ellen tries to escape via the vent and finds a vial, which she realises is the same substance that was used in her attack that made her lose her sight. She finds her way back to her apartment, chased by Clayton, and sprays the substance in his face. Upon seeing Clayton disabled, Lana guides Ellen to an exit into the outside world.

Six months later, Ellen prepares to go on stage to the sound of an elated crowd, as an assistant asks her if she needs any help.
