According to reviews in 1911 trade publications, the film began with scenes of a group of boys fishing by a pond in a wooded area known as "Boyland". One of the youngsters brought with him a large serving of pie, which another boy named Tommy steals and runs away from the group. Once he outruns the other boys, Tommy shares the pie with his friend who accompanied him. The pair are tired from running and now do not feel well after devouring the stolen treat, so they lie down next to a big tree and fall asleep. Tommy begins to dream. In a bizarre nightmare he sees himself stealing again, but this time in "Birdland". He is a thief who climbs a tree and robs a bird's nest of its eggs. After taking the eggs, Tommy climbs down and then argues in his dream with his friend. The boys disagree about how to share the eggs, so they leave one another.

Later in his dream, as he walks alone across a cornfield, Tommy is confronted by a huge sparrow that is even larger in size than the boy. The bird accuses him for egg theft and calls a equally large police bird, who arrests Tommy and "jails" him in a large bird cage. A trial before Judge Eagle is then convened to try the boy for his crime. Other human-sized birds assemble in the forest to act as jurors and witnesses in the outdoor court. After the jury quickly finds Tommy guilty, the judge sentences him to be beheaded. A flock of birds now forms a "death march" to escort the condemned boy to the chopping block, where the Crow, Birdland's executioner, is holding a large axe. There, Tommy is forced to place his head on the block, but just before the Crow strikes the fatal blow, Tommy awakens. He finds himself back in the reality of Boyland. His friend is awake too, and says he is hungry again after eating the pie. He suggests that they should find a bird's nest and take some eggs. Tommy refuses. Having gained a new perspective from his nightmare, he vows never again to steal from a nest.

The player arrives at the island via a Flying Taxi connection from the Galarian mainland. Once at the island, the player meets up with a new rival, exclusive to the version of the game. They meet Avery if playing ''Pokémon Shield'' and Klara if playing ''Pokémon Sword''. Due to a mix-up, the rival at the train station thinks the player is a new student and engages in a Pokémon Battle. The player is prompted to visit the "Master Dojo", where they meet Mustard, the dojo's master and former region champion, who challenges the player to a battle. Once the player has won the battle, Mustard declares that the dojo is at max capacity and initiates the "three trials", the winner of which will be given the "secret armor" of the Master Dojo.

The first trial is revealed to be chasing after and defeating three fast Slowpoke after they steal the rival's Dojo Uniform. After the player defeats all three Slowpoke alone, Mustard lets everyone who at least managed to catch up to the Slowpoke a pass to the second trial. The second trial involves finding "Max Mushrooms" for the dojo's secret recipe, the Max Soup, which allows certain Pokémon to Gigantamax. Upon finding Max Mushrooms, the rival challenges the player to a battle for the mushrooms. After beating the rival, the player can collect the mushrooms and return to the dojo, where they and their rival are revealed to be the only ones who were able to pass the trial. The last trial is a Dynamax battle between the player and the rival at the dojo's Battle Court. The player emerges victorious, granting the player the "secret armor" of the Master Dojo: the Legendary Pokémon Kubfu.

After the player has obtained Kubfu, Mustard tasks the player with raising its friendship. While the player can use standard friendship methods, Mustard recommends that the player take Kubfu to visit various spots around the island. During this time only, Master Dojo Students will be present at these different points across the island allowing the player and Kubfu a place to view and battle. Once the player and Kubfu become the best of friends, Mustard tells the player to choose one of the "Towers of Two Fists", the "Tower of Waters", or the "Tower of Darkness", and challenge it with Kubfu. Regardless of which tower the player chooses, Mustard will be waiting at the top floor, ready to challenge them with his own Kubfu. After defeating Mustard, the player can let Kubfu examine a special scroll that allows it to evolve into Urshifu. Depending on which tower the player chooses, the types and moves Urshifu obtains will be different.

If the player has already beaten the base game's main story, on their return to the dojo they will find that Hop, the rival character from the base games, came to the Isle of Armor to research about the Dynamax phenomenon. Mustard tells the player that Urshifu hates the taste of Max Soup, so, in order for it to unlock its Gigantamax potential, a special ingredient is needed to make it drink the Max Soup. The player and Hop are tasked with finding the special ingredient, and eventually Hop figures that it must be honey. He and the player travel to Honeycalm Island, where the player gets thrusted into a Max Raid Battle against a Dynamax Vespiquen. After defeating it, the player will obtain a comb of Max Honey, which is the missing ingredient.

Upon the player's return to the dojo with the news of finding the key to unlocking Urshifu's Gigantamax potential, Mustard informs them that he wants to battle them in a no-holds-barred battle, where he uses his full power. In the battle, Mustard uses his own Gigantamax Urshifu, of the form opposite to the player's. After being defeated, Mustard declares that he has nothing more to teach them, ending the plotline.

A sidequest involves paying large amounts of watts - the special currency gained in the Wild Area, the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra - to Mustard's wife Honey. This unlocks dojo upgrades and other bonuses, including a fight against Honey herself. The player can request a battle with Mustard once per day, and the same also happens with either Klara or Avery. Once the player successfully maxes out the Master Dojo, there is a cutscene showing the player taking a stroll with Honey at the Fields of Honor, thanking the player for all the Watts invested to make the Master Dojo the facility it currently is. After that cutscene, she will give the player her rare League Card.

Following Sora's disappearance, Kairi enters a deep sleep under Ansem the Wise's observation, creating a dream world from her memories of Sora to search for clues to his whereabouts within her own heart. Towards the end of her dream, Kairi confronts an illusion of Xehanort, who nearly overpowers her until Sora remotely takes control of her body and defeats him. Before Kairi reawakens, Xehanort reminds her of the time in her childhood when he sent her away from Radiant Garden, during which he mentioned a world on the "other side"; Kairi reports her findings to Ansem, who reasons the "other side" to mean a fictional world beyond their reality. Kairi is then approached by the Fairy Godmother, who sends her and Riku to the Final World to meet the heart of a girl from the other reality. Riku explains his dream of a modern metropolis to the girl, who recognizes it as a city in her world called Quadratum, allowing Riku to open a portal to the other reality and begin his search for Sora, while Kairi remains behind to resume her Keyblade training. In a post-credits scene, Kairi decides to study under Aqua, while Yen Sid sends Donald and Goofy to inform the rest of their comrades of their progress, and Mickey to Scala ad Caelum to investigate ancient Keyblade Masters and how they may be connected to the other reality.

Lead-up

It is revealed that human ally Moira MacTaggert is actually a reality-warping mutant whose power is to live many "lives". In her ninth life, she allied with Apocalypse and they both rescued the First Horsemen.

Cypher and X travel to the mutant island of Krakoa to establish the future foundation of their mutant paradise. Communicating with Krakoa, Cypher reveals its secret history.

X and Magneto invite all former mutant villains to live on the island including immortal Egyptian mutant Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur). Both Krakoa and Apocalyse interact subtly - a hint of their shared past.

As part of the "Fresh Start" relaunch, an extra-sized issue in celebration of the long history of Marvel Comics includes a one-page story shows Apocalypse reminiscing about his original Four Horsemen who were lost so long ago.

As part of the "Dawn of X" relaunch, Cyclops, Rachel Summers and young Cable travel to a mysterious island on the ocean, where they meet enigmatic character Summoner. It is then revealed that the island is a fragment of Krakoa, with which the living island reunited with at the end of the issue. Weeks later, Summoner recounts the story about the separation of Krakoa and Arakko, while battling the demonic forces of Amenth.

In the new ''Excalibur'' title of ''Dawn of X'', it is shown that Apocalypse wants to tap into the magical spring source that is Otherworld ruled by Omniversal Majestrix Saturnyne. This new approximation of Krakoa's mutants and the inhabitants of Otherworld sets the stage for a future confrontation. Some time later, Apocalypse gathers his fellow X-Ternals, and sacrifices some of them to create a portal to connect Krakoa to the Otherworld and Amenth.

Main story

The invading army

It is discovered that the first incarnation of the Horsemen are actually the biological children of Apocalypse and his wife Genesis who was also sent with Arakko. Following that, Apocalypse went to the Summoner and directed him to the portal to Otherworld where he could return to Arakko, while being accompanied by Unus and Banshee. However, what Apocalypse didn't expect was that this was all an elaborated plan created by his own children so they could return and overthrow Krakoa with their fellow Arakki mutants and Daemon army. Apocalypse himself was soon attacked and critically injured by his daughter War, being forced to retreat back to Krakoa to heal their wounds and prepare for war between the two groups.

Failure of the Resurrection Protocols

Former student Rockslide suffers a surprise attack by Summoner, who dilacerates his psychic essence. Hurrying back to Krakoa, the Five proceed to restore his physical husk, but, when X begins to telephatically download his memories, the five Cerebro mainframes fry and short circuit. Apprehensive, the Five convene with the Quiet Council to inform them that once a mutant is killed in Otherworld, this creates problems for the resurrection process.

The gathering of swords

Polaris (Lorna Dane) acts as a medium and delivers the list of swords and cryptic hints about the chosen champions of Krakoa. Magik is the first one to rise to the occasion.

Wolverine and Arakki mutant Solem are sent to a Hell-like dimension to reach legendary bladesmith Muramasa, and ask him to forge new blades for the tournament. Solem gets both of the new Muramasa swords, but yields one to Logan on a yet unrevealed price.

Storm travels to Wakanda to request permission to borrow an ancient relic from the Royal Family: a mystical sword named ''Skybreaker'', made of vibranium and previously wielded by a legendary Wakandan king. Due to the Royal Family's refusal, Ororo is forced to steal it only to face her ex-husband T'Challa, before leaving the country.

In Krakoa, Cypher (Doug Ramsey) shares his worries with Warlock and the Living Island, while training under Magik for the upcoming tournament. Meanwhile, the Quiet Council decides to take a different approach instead of sending a mutant with little battle experience: they agree to send Mister Sinister and his Hellions on a secret mission to sabotage the contest.

Young Cable, Jean Grey and Cyclops travel to the S.W.O.R.D space station and Cable activates it with his sword "Light of Galador". The trio soon discovers that an extradimensional army known as the Vescora massacred the station's ocupants. After dealing with this threat, young Cable joins the other swordbearers.

In Otherworld, siblings Betsy Braddock (the new Captain Britain) and Brian Braddock trick regent Saturnyne into forging the Starlight Sword, while also getting the Sword of Might.

Still reeling from the betrayal of his sons, Apocalyse reminisces about the time he lost his wife Genesis and children, the First Horsemen, when Okkara was split into two islands. Soon after, he asks Gorgon to accompany him to Egypt in order to retrieve his own sword (a khopesh) for the upcoming tournament.

In Arakko, the First Horsemen begin to assemble its forces for the upcoming tournament, all the while revealing underlying tensions among themselves and between a few of the major players of Krakoa's side.

Accommodation in Otherworld

After the chosen Swordbearers of Arakko and Krakoa travel to the Otherworld, they are welcomed by Saturnyne. Both parties intermingle and try to discover each other's secrets and weaknesses before the main event: Apocalypse encounters his former wife Genesis who reveals the story of her banishment while Storm shares a dance with the Horseman of Death.

The tournament begins

After the feast, Saturnyne announces the match-ups: Elizabeth Braddock vs. Isca the Unbeaten, Cypher vs. Bei the Blood Moon, Wolverine vs. Summoner. Aside from one-on-one battles, Saturnyne forces the Swordbearers to compete in a series of extravagant contests.

Magik defeats Pogg Ur-Pogg; Isca wins against Elizabeth Braddock whose body turns to glass and shatters. Wolverine kills Summoner. In a three-way battle with Solem and the Horseman of War (Summoner's mother), Wolverine severs War's hand. Cypher marries Bei the Blood Moon. Storm defeats the Horseman of Death. Gorgon perishes after a fierce battle against White Sword and his troops. Finally, when the score is tied between Krakoa and Arakko, Saturnyne announces the last match: Apocalyse versus his wife Genesis possessed by the Annihilation Mask of Amenth.

In the meantime, Sinister and the Hellions arrive at Otherworld, but their mission goes awry as they have to fight the Otherworldian race of the Locus Vile. Theirs is a bloody battle, and Wild Child perishes by the hand of one of the Locus Vile. The other Hellions barely escape through a portal to Krakoa, but as soon as they return, Sinister betrays the team and slays the survivors.

All-out war

Before his fight with an Arakki champion, young Cable telepathically communicated with Jean Grey and Cyclops on Krakoa. Saturnyne notices the interference and cuts their contact. Fearing for Cable's life, the heroes present their case to the Quiet Council: they intend to take as many mutants to the Otherworld and rescue Krakoa's champions. They also feel the need to reinstate the X-Men as a permanent team to defend their interests.

Cable uses S.W.O.R.D.'s space station to transport everyone they can gather to Otherworld's battlefield (including a reborn Captain Britain Corps), in the middle of an all-out war between Amenth's and Arakko's armies. During the battle, omega-level mutant and unbeatable warrior Isca the Unbeaten suddenly switched sides by changing her color, after Apocalypse managed to take the mask of Amenth from Genesis.

Apocalypse takes Annihilation's mask from his wife's face and wears it. He yields and Amenth's forces surrender. Saturnyne, satisfied with this conclusion, asks both Krakoa and Arakko to trade prisoners, as a token of goodwill: Apocalypse chooses to accompany his wife and children back to Amenth, in exchange for Arakko and all its inhabitants returning to Earth, so Krakoa can reunite with its "twin" at last.

Saturnyne is crowned Queen in Otherworld and gets what she ''needed'', but not what she ''wanted'': Brian Braddock (former Captain Britain)'s heart.

Tie-in stories

Aftermath

The Krakoans take hold of the S.W.O.R.D space station and reposition it as their satellite base, under the command of Agent Abigail Brand.

Saturnyne rebuilds the Captain Britain Corps with alternate reality counterparts of Elizabeth Braddock. The original one, however, does not seem to return to the main timeline after the events of the contest.

With Apocalypse leaving Krakoa to be with his wife and children in Amenth, the Quiet Council now has an empty seat. When she and Cyclops decided to take a strike team to rescue the Champions and battle Amenth's and Arakko's forces in the Otherworld, Jean Grey felt the need to step down from her leadership position. As such, a second spot remains vacant in the Quiet Council. Soon enough, the remaining members now try to pick names to fill the void.

During the 1942 African Campaign of the Second World War, an isolated British East African POW camp sits on a dusty plain in the shadow of Mount Kenya, said to be one of the most difficult mountains in the world to climb. The camp is staffed mainly by African subjects overseen by a few British soldiers and their commander, the stiff-lipped Major David Farrell (Ben Cross), who lost both his wife and child to the war. One of the Major's preoccupations has been attempting to ascend one of Kenya's forbidding southern approaches, but he has been frustrated, his failure a joke amongst the mostly Italian prisoners, including his nemesis Franco Distassi (Vincent Spano), a world-class climber who has attempted escape five times.

Succeeding on his sixth breakout attempt, Franco steals a jeep and makes his way through the Kenyan countryside to a small village, crashing the jeep to avoid hitting another truck stuck in the road. After an initial misunderstanding with the occupants an industrialist and his daughter Patricia (Rachel Ward), Franco fixes their truck and stays for lunch. He resembles Patricia's late husband, and his intelligence and charm leave an impression on her.

When the British catch up with him, Franco goes quietly. Standing before the Major, he taunts the commander for failing to conquer the mountain, further vexing him. Franco is put into solitary confinement. The demoralized commanding officer of the Italians, Enzo (Tony Lo Bianco), devises a scheme to regain his and the others' honor: a select band will escape to climb Mount Kenya with the aim of reaching the 16,300 ft Point Lenana and planting the Italian flag there before returning to the camp, a feat that will also humiliate their captors. Franco agrees with the proviso that he makes his own descent from the other side into Italian-occupied Somalia. Gear is produced by artisan prisoners, including the German Kist (Rico Vanden Hurck), who trades his compass for a place on the three-man climbing team.

Point Lenana, Mount Kenya Franco is away from the camp after he agrees to repair the industrialist's antiquated sawmill, where he and Patricia share a romantic interlude in the hayloft. When the Major, who had pressed his own unsuccessful suit with her, finds out, his ensuing rage pushes the POWs to put their plan in motion immediately, and Franco, Enzo, and Kist make good their escape. Once over the wire, however, Kist betrays the Italians and flees but is quickly captured, revealing their plan to the Major, who prepares to give chase up the mountainside.

Mountain sickness leaves Enzo unable to continue, so Franco proceeds alone for days, sometimes catching a glimpse of the Major across the canyons. At night they engage in shouted banter with one another, inflaming the Major's envy of Franco's mountaineering skill and jealousy over Patricia. At the summit, the Major has Franco in his sights and implores him to halt. Franco buries the flag and surrenders, returning to the camp a hero.

Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage is struggling with his career after being passed over for several major film roles and is constantly pestered and tormented by "Nicky", who appears to him as his younger (and more successful) self. His relationship with his ex-wife Olivia and daughter Addy is also marred by years of emotional neglect. Following an embarrassing and humiliating event at Addy's birthday party and losing a key film role, Cage plans to retire from acting. He decides to accept a vague offer of $1 million from his agent Richard Fink that involves going to Majorca to meet billionaire playboy Javi Gutierrez and to be the guest of honor at his birthday.

Upon meeting Javi, Cage is initially annoyed by his neediness and insistence that they create an improvisational movie based on a script he wrote, but is soon inspired by Javi's determination, and the two of them quickly bond over their surprisingly shared love of films such as ''The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'' and ''Paddington 2'' (the latter of which Cage watches for the first time with Javi). Soon after, Cage is confronted by CIA agents Vivian and Martin. They suspect that Javi, who they claim made his fortune through arms dealing, is behind the kidnapping of Maria, the daughter of a Catalan anti-crime politician, with the hope that he will drop out of an upcoming election. Cage insists that his acting instincts would've detected if Javi was a criminal, but he eventually decides to help the CIA with the mission.

After successfully rigging the cameras in Javi's compound, Cage attends a party where he announces his collaboration with Javi on a new movie, as an excuse to stay on the compound long enough to find Maria. After a misadventure involving LSD, Cage and Javi decide that their movie should be about their relationship. Cage later discovers that Javi keeps a shrine room dedicated to all of his movies, including a wax figure of his character Castor Troy from the film ''Face/Off'', complete with identical golden guns. Vivian suggests that Cage includes a kidnapping in their script, to get Javi's reaction to it.

Cage explains his new idea to Javi, who believes that Cage is distracted by his family issues. Vivian tells Cage to flee, or possibly kill Javi, as Javi has discovered their plot. But Javi reveals he's brought Cage's family to his villa. Cage tries to make amends with them, but they reject his appeal and accuse him of prioritizing his film career over his family. Javi privately goes to meet with his cousin Lucas, who is revealed to be the true arms dealer and the one who kidnapped Maria. Lucas warns him that Cage is working with the CIA and pressures him to kill Cage, or else Lucas will kill Javi.

Cage and Javi have a stand-off with each other, but neither can bring themselves to kill the other. Lucas sends his men after both of them, and they race back to the house to discover that Addy has been kidnapped. Cage takes Javi, Olivia and Javi's assistant Gabriela to the CIA safe house, only for the house to have been compromised; Martin has been killed, while Vivian sacrifices herself to kill Lucas's men before they can ambush the group. With Javi's help, Cage and Olivia pose as a reclusive criminal couple to get close to Lucas. He figures out their plan, but they still manage to escape with Addy and Maria.

Cage, Addy, Olivia and Maria race to the American embassy while Javi and Gabriela stay behind to delay Lucas's pursuit. Upon arrival, Lucas holds Cage at gunpoint, but Addy tosses him a knife which Cage uses to kill him transitioning into the movie that Cage and Javi completed, presumably based on their adventure. Cage is applauded for his new film and congratulates Javi before going home with his family to watch ''Paddington 2'', now with a better relationship.

The game follows the younger William Adama's career during the First Cylon War, as he battles against the Cylon ships.

The film revolves around three characters: Santhosh, Sneha and Preethi. Santhosh is in love with Preethi, but a small incident changes the situation. Santhosh struggles to get his love back with the help of Sneha, who has just applied for a divorce from her husband. This continues to show three parallel stories - one about the possessive mother, a romantic story and a tale of a friendship.

The film opens with Kike (Enric Auquer) on a fishing platform. We see a man with his hands chained together thrown in a large underwater cage. In prison, semi-retired drug lord Antonio Padín (Xan Cejudo) is given a series of tests, showing that his mobility is limited, and decreasing due to an unnamed condition. Padín is released from prison due to his medical state, and picked up by one of his children, Toño (Ismael Martínez) who says he is here to take him home. Kike calls to ask Padín to do with the man they’ve captured and are torturing. Padín tells him to break his legs before informing Toño that he doesn’t want to come home and is instead going to a nursing home “because I fucking feel like it”.

Cut to Mario (Luis Tosar) and Julia (María Vázquez) at a class for pregnant couples. After the class ends she drops him at his work; he is head nurse at an assisted living facility. He is shown to be good at his job, able to talk a sullen patient into eating his dinner, though the method he uses (promising the man smokes before saying he won’t remember the promise) maybe suspect. Another staff member, Luisa Mayol (María Luisa Mayol) informs Mario that Padín will be coming to stay there. Mario recognizes the name, and that Padín is/was a drug lord.

Padín argues with Kike and Toño about dealings with the Chinese and Colombians. Kike is shown to have little respect for Padín, who in turn has no patience for his immaturity. Mario runs Padín through some simple hand stretches to improve his mobility, seeming to earn a begrudging trust from the older man. Toño tells Padín that they’re going ahead “with or without you” as Kike threatens Mario with violence if Mario does anything to harm Padín. A clearly shaken Mario retreats to the bathroom and stares at himself in the mirror. Back at home a news report about Padín affects him strongly but he hides this from Julia, his wife.

The next morning, Padín refuses to get out of bed. Mario tells him that some people prefer nursing homes to living at home because they don’t have to deal with pity from their family before asserting that Padín can still enjoy things in life. He continues to care for Padín and help him with his mobility. That night, after being helped into bed Padín thanks him sincerely. After work Mario drives to a sketchy part of town, lying to Julia about why he’ll be late. He purchases drugs from an inebriated man who then calls after him “I recognize your face, but you were dead!” which he ignores. He is shown preparing the drugs (heroin) at the hospital, drawing it into a syringe that he injects between Padín’s toes after telling the man it’s not oral medication so it won’t “tax his throat”. Mario then meets Julia outside who notices he’s shaken and asks him what’s wrong. He lies again, and she comforts him by having him feel her pregnant stomach.

Kike discusses the Chinese deal with Toño once more, saying it “has to be now”. They visit the nursing home where they see Padín with a group of other seniors, playing a game with a parachute. They ask him again about the business deal, leading Padín to realize they’ve lied to the others about his approval of the deal. Kike insults him and storms off. Mario continues to care for Padín as his condition progresses, shown through a montage of shaving him, helping him dress and eat, and more, even as he continues to inject him with the street drugs every night, always between the toes. At an ultrasound, Julia and Mario find out the baby is a boy. While listening to the heartbeat, Mario has a flashback to a younger version of himself injecting something into an unknown person’s arm in what appears to be a drug den.

Toño is shown nervously waiting by several cell phones in an office at a packing plant. Kike calls him twice before pulling out a different phone and having a coded conversation about rice with a truck driver. The driver heads for a warehouse but before he can enter, police show up and he is arrested. It’s shown to be a diversion as they search the truck and find nothing but clams. A different truck filled with drugs successfully makes a delivery to a separate warehouse. Shortly after, both deliverymen and one of the drivers are shot by the Chinese mobsters. Kike’s car is shown to have a tracker on it, which leads the police directly to the packing plant where Toño was. They arrest Kike but Toño evades them.

Back at the nursing home, the staff meets to discuss the residents. Mario informs them that he feels Padín’s physical condition is worsening quickly and other staff agree. After Mario feeds him dinner, Padín sees a news report about Kike being arrested. While trying to reach the remote, he falls out of bed and injures himself. Mario stares at him on the floor until another staff member walks by, at which point they both help Padín. Toño is shown talking to his lawyer who assures him the evidence is all circumstantial, and all they need to do is bail Kike out. Toño admits that he doesn’t have the money. The lawyer tells him to get it from Padín, forcing Toño to admit that his father wasn’t in on the deal. He then visits Padín to tell him what happened and ask for bail money. Padín responds by silently flipping him off.

Mario goes home and dances with his wife. Toño visits Kike in prison. Kike tells him that unless he pays the people he owes, they’re both in danger. Toño admits that Padín refused to help leading Kike to break down and cry from fear. Toño promises to get him out and returns to the nursing home. Mario finds his tires slashed in the parking lot. Xepas (Dani Currás) arrives in a camo truck and motions for him to get in before taking him to meet Toño. He orders Mario to convince Padín to come home and threatens both him and Julia.  Xepas roughs him up before letting him out of the truck and informing Toño that he recognized Mario from years before; he used to buy “horse” (heroin) from the bar. Julia returns home, angry at Mario for not picking her up. She finds him crouched over a bass drum, having flashbacks of his time in a band, assumedly also when he was doing drugs.

Back at the nursing home, Mario shows Padín a picture of his brother, Sergio, and tells Padín he died of an overdose when he was 26, over two decades ago. He goes on to explain that Sergio was dealing for Padín at the time in exchange for his own supply. Mario tells Padín that not only has he been giving him heroin,  but he hasn’t been giving him his usual medication, and in fact has been feeding him bleach to make him sicker. Meanwhile Toño is holding another staff member, Andrés, from the nursing home hostage in his own home in order to threaten him into declaring his father legally insane, but the staff is accidentally killed during a struggle. In prison, Kike is assaulted by three men who tell him they want their money or they’re going to kill him. At the nursing home Padín struggles to tell a nurse about the hidden drugs but Mario interrupts them. Julia visits Mario at work and learns who Padín is right before her water breaks and she goes into labor.

Julia tries to question Mario about Padín but it interrupted by the doctor. After she is given a sedative, he leaves and heads for the nursing home. When he arrives he sees the police there to talk about Andrés death, and sees an unknown man in a suit. He threatens Padín with an overdose unless he tells him who the man is. Padín refuses but Mario learns from a doctor that the man was a notary. Instead of returning to Julia, Mario hurries to replace Padín’s blood samples before they can be tested. He then returns to Padín intending to make good on his threat to kill him. Before he does, he admits to killing his brother purposefully after his brother begged him to do so. He then injects Padín and leaves.

Toño is shown in his car having a heated argument over the phone. He sees Mario driving away and gives chase as Julia is shown in the middle of labor.

Mario returns home to find Julia dead. The baby, still alive, nurses at her breast.

According to reviews in 1911 trade publications, this brief film featured comedic situations that confronted a "stage-struck young lady" who desired to become a professional entertainer.[http://archive.org/details/moviwor09chal/page/n841/mode/2up "Lost in a Hotel (Sept. 19)"], ''The Moving Picture World'', September 16, 1911, p. 824.

Soon, however, she experiences the unappealing, "seamy" side of life behind the stage curtain. On her first night traveling with the company and staying in a large hotel with all its members, she finds herself too excited about her new career to sleep. Bored, she leaves her room in just her dressing robe or, as it is referred to in 1911 reviews, her "kimono".[http://archive.org/details/moviwor10chal/page/n45/mode/2up Independent/'Lost in a Hotel'"], ''The Moving Picture World'', October 7, 1911, p. 41.

Now well past midnight, the young woman tries to return to her own room, but she realizes that she forgot its number and all the rooms in the hotel's long hallways look identical. The remainder of the film consisted of her awkwardly entering room after room and meeting other various odd, erratic characters in the troupe. After she finally locates her room, she concludes from those strange encounters that a career as an entertainer is certainly not filled with glamor, now seems far less appealing, and involves a lifestyle not meant for her. The short ended with the enlightened "maiden" returning home to her mother.

In 1990s England, a witch leaves her child, Earwig, at St. Morwald's Home for Children. The matron head of the home thinks that the name is unfit for a child and changes it to Erica Wigg. Years later, Earwig is a rambunctious 10-year-old who is very comfortable in an orphanage where everyone does what she wants. She likes living there with her friend Custard and doesn't want to get adopted.

One day, a strange couple, Bella Yaga and Mandrake, adopt Earwig against her wishes. When they get home, Bella Yaga tells Earwig that she is a witch, and that she only adopted Earwig for "an extra pair of hands" to help around the house. Earwig agrees to help, only if Bella Yaga teaches her magic in return. Earwig prepares ingredients for spells and cleans the workroom. Tired of working, she attempts to get out of the house, only to find that all the exits have been magically sealed by Mandrake. She becomes further frustrated because Bella Yaga never teaches her any magic.

Earwig begins to listen to tapes from an old band called Earwig and discovers that Bella Yaga's cat familiar Thomas can talk. The two of them enter the workroom at night to create a spell that will make them resistant to magic, becoming immune to Bella Yaga's punishments. They also work on a spell to give Bella Yaga a literal "extra pair of hands" on her body so Earwig would be dismissed from her work.

The spell is a success and Bella Yaga is furious at her extra pair of hands, and casts magical worms that appear in Earwig's room. Because of Earwig's magical resistance, the worms are harmless; Earwig sends the worms through a hole in the wall, but that angers Mandrake. In the ensuing chaos, Earwig breaks into Mandrake's room and discovers he and Bella Yaga were members of the band.

Through her new power, Earwig is able to take over the house and have the others do what she wants. She even manages to invite her friend Custard over for Christmas. When he arrives, Earwig's mother, another member of the band, drops in for a surprise visit.

An amorphous entity known only as “The Monster” is held in a containment unit within a research facility owned by a company called Relith Science. The creature breaks out and progresses through the facility in order to find an exit. As the organism progresses through the facility, it fights and devours its way through the facility's staff and security forces. Along the way, the creature discovers pieces of its genetic code removed by the scientists for study and containment, which allow it to evolve, allowing for greater size and more means of both defense and offense.

The Creature also encounters material analyzers which, upon entering, trigger flashbacks revealing its origins. The Creature was originally found within an egg-like sack by three scientists, and upon awakening, proceeded to kill two and possess the third. However, Relith security forces arrived and executed the remaining scientist, forcing the creature out into the open and allowing Relith to capture and contain it. Eventually, the creature returns to its initial containment area and absorbs the last piece of its stolen genetic code, allowing it to reconstitute a human form, which takes the appearance of the scientist it originally infected. It then escapes the facility and emerges in a partially quarantined city as the sun sets.

Freddy Lupin is the young heir to a werewolf pack that has been protecting their local town for years. When he attempts to follow his family during their nightly patrol using a magical Moonstone, he loses the Moonstone to Foxwell Cripp, and Flashheart is apparently killed when he falls off a cliff. Freddy's uncle Hotspur becomes the new pack leader.

Six years later, the time comes for Freddy to experience his first wolf transformation, but despite the encouragement of long-term housekeeper Mrs. Mutton, he is humiliated when he turns into a poodle instead. Faced with the disdain of his pack, Freddy is challenged to prove his wolf status by moonrise the next day or risk being banished. Freddy decides to try and retrieve the Moonstone from Cripp.

While searching in town, Freddy befriends Batty, a stray dog also known as 'Houndini' for her ability to escape the dog catchers consistently. Batty leads him to Cripp, where they are both caught by dog catchers and placed in Coldfax Dog Pound. After an escape attempt goes wrong, Freddy is sent to a pit with 'the Beast', an unknown monster that supposedly eats dogs. Freddy learns that the 'Beast' is actually his father. The dog catchers captured Flasheart after he was injured by the fall, and Hotspur left him in Coldfax with a silver bracelet to keep him trapped in his wolf state. Batty and the other dogs escape into the vents and help Freddy free his father.

Freddy leads Flasheart and the dogs home to confront Hotspur. Cripp attacks the other wolves with a mass of silver concentrate, but Freddy stops Cripp's attack. Hotspur tries to attack while the other wolves are weakened by the silver, but the dogs are able to get the wolves to safety while Freddy lures his uncle to the mansion roof. Transforming back into a poodle in the moonlight and accepting his form, Freddy lets out a loud roar to affirm his status as an alpha wolf, sending Hotspur falling back into the mansion and affirming his failure as a leader.

Sometime later, Freddy's reflections reveal that not only have werewolves and dogs gotten on better terms, but the pack has also opened the mansion up to all dogs, with Hotspur and his children reduced to dog-walkers and picking up after the mutts, while Coldfax is shut down. Flasheart has returned to his old role as pack leader, but assures Freddy that he is proud of him and believes he will be a good leader when the time comes.

Freddy Lupin may be a poodle, but he has the heart of a wolf, and he's going to prove it by graduating from the werewolf-only Howlington Academy. But models converted to Low-poly instead of High-poly.

• '''Season Two - The Book of Hath'''

Season 1

Protagonist Tamar Rabinyan, a young Jewish woman born in Iran but raised in Israel, is a Mossad agent and computer hacker on an undercover mission in the Iranian capital to disable a nuclear reactor. Her objective is neutralizing Iranian air defenses so that the Israeli Air Force can bomb a nuclear plant and prevent Iran from obtaining an atomic bomb. When she arrives in Iran she switches identities with Zhila Gorbanifar, a Muslim employee of the local electric company. In Zhila's place she enters the electric company station and connects to the computer network. Then she tries to cut electric power to the Iranian radar system, in order to facilitate an ongoing Israeli Air Force attack. Her mission fails because her boss, who thinks she is Zhila, tries to rape her and is killed in a fight that ensues. After escaping, Tamar has to go into hiding. Being born in Iran and having moved to Israel when she was six, Tamar now discovers her local roots, goes to see her aunt, and befriends Iranian pro-democracy activists. Meanwhile, she is hunted by Faraz Kamali, head of investigations of the Revolutionary Guards.

Season 2

Prior to being smuggled out of Iran to start a new life in Canada, Tamar accepts a mission to rescue one of the Israeli pilots captured after the reactor mission. At the hospital where the pilot is being held, she encounters Marjan Montazami, a psychotherapist and local agent for Mossad, who aids in her escape. Tamar's aunt is executed for assisting her, and a devastated Tamar agrees to stay in Tehran with Milad to undertake a new mission: the assassination of Qasem Mohammadi who has been promoted to head of the Revolutionary Guard. Tamar works to gain access to Mohammadi by getting close to his son, Peyman. Faraz Kamali continues his relentless pursuit of Tamar, but finds himself compromised as Marjan begins working as a psychotherapist for his wife following her abduction and release by Mossad. In spite of Faraz's reluctant assistance, Tamar's attempt to poison Mohammadi fails, as does an attempt to kill him with a booby-trapped phone. Mossad head Yulia Magen calls off the mission, but Tamar and Milad try to take control of Mohammadi's sports car as he races against his son, which only results in Peyman's death. Marjan is poisoned by Naahid, Faraz's wife. Tamar manages to kill Mohammadi with the explosive mobile phone. Milad is killed by a car bomb planted by the Mossad in the escape car, leaving Tamar alone and trapped in Iran with no-one to trust.

Cody and May, a married couple, are planning on getting a divorce. After telling their daughter Rose the news, she takes her hand-made dolls, which look like her parents, into the family shed and tries to repair their relationship by play-acting. The parents find themselves trapped inside the dolls' bodies as a consequence of Rose's tears landing on the dolls. Dr. Hakim, who has assumed the anthropomorphic form of his relationship therapy book, tells May and Cody that he has been given the job of trying to fix their relationship as they try to reach Rose.

At first, Cody and May are more focused on trying to reach Rose, who they hope knows of a way to return them to their human bodies. However, Hakim continually interferes with their progress, often putting obstacles and tests in their way to force them to collaborate to progress. They also come across anthropomorphic versions of their old possessions, who criticize Cody and May for their mistreatment and negligence of both their possessions and Rose. As they travel all around their property, Cody and May are reminded of the positive memories they had together, as well as what originally drew them together to become a couple, and learn to work together and collaborate to move forward in their journey.

In a final series of obstacles, Hakim encourages Cody and May to rediscover their passions and support each other. This first takes them on an adventure through Cody's overgrown, abandoned garden and greenhouse, which May helps him to restore. They then work together to help May rediscover her passion for music and singing.

Meanwhile, Rose continues to do her best to mend the relationship between her parents, but both Cody and May's real bodies have fallen unconscious and will not respond to her. Thinking her parents are ignoring her, Rose comes to believe that she is the reason their marriage is falling apart and decides to run away in hopes that will make them stay together.

After a long journey, Cody and May finally complete Hakim's final test, gathering an orchestra and audience for May to perform in front of. As May sings, the relationship between her and Cody is at last fully healed, and they kiss, which reverses the trance they are in. They reawaken in their real bodies and are shocked to learn that Rose has already run away. Fortunately, they are able to find her at a nearby bus stop and assure her that she is not the cause of their arguments and that they will always love her no matter what happens. The trio then returns home with a new perspective on their relationship.

Nolan Wright survives a car crash, physically intact but suffering from amnesia. Having lost his wife in the same accident, he is now a single father to his 10-year-old daughter, Ava. Due to his amnesia, Nolan has a hard time remembering his past and doing basic tasks, including cooking and picking up his daughter from school. Ava, who is very mature and highly precocious, aids him in many of these tasks, and makes excuses for him when he falls short in social settings.

After receiving numerous warnings from a teacher at Ava's school regarding his forgetful behavior (which comes as neglect to those who do not know Nolan's condition), and failing to get a photography contract at work, Nolan decides to opt for an experimental procedure that might help him get his memory back.

After talking with his friend, Dr. Gary Yeboah, Nolan decides to enlist the help of Dr. Brooks, a neurologist at the hospital he was first brought to after the accident. After using hypnosis, Dr. Brooks explores Nolan's mind, and deems him a suitable subject for the experimental procedure. With the help of Dr. Brooks, and her "black box," Nolan explores the recesses of his mind, and tries to regain his memory.

Unfortunately, this is not an easy process. Nolan sees figures, but not faces, and is frequently confronted by some sort of monster that causes him to panic and leave the memories. The good side is, however, that outside Dr. Brooks' office, he begins to catch glimpses of other memories, which help him work towards a more normal and healthy relationship with Ava.

None of this lasts long, though. As Dr. Brooks pushes Nolan further and further, he begins to suspect that there is a dark truth in his past, and although Dr. Yeboah assures him this is not the case, Nolan is frantic with worry. Eventually, in a session with Dr. Brooks, Nolan defeats the monster in his memories and looks into a mirror, only to realize he is not Nolan at all. When he comes to, he is aware of his true identity: Thomas Brooks, Dr. Brooks' own son.

Dr. Brooks reveals that Thomas died some time previously, but before he died she had mapped out his consciousness and uploaded it to the black box, so she could download his consciousness into the suitable host when one arrived. Thomas leaves, pretending to still be a Nolan, but is struggling with this new knowledge. Eventually, he leaves Ava with Dr. Yeboah, as he says he no longer trusts himself. Thomas seeks out his wife, and tries to explain to her that he is back, but finds that she has erased all traces of him, and does not want him in her life.

At the same time, Dr. Yeboah is looking into Nolan's file and realizes there are some irregularities. He grows suspicious of Dr. Brooks. Ultimately, he and Ava break into Dr. Brooks' office, where they find her trying to replace what is left of Nolan's consciousness with Thomas's. They manage to interrupt her in time; Thomas and Nolan are physically acting out the fight for Nolan's mind in his consciousness, but Ava's screams remind Thomas of his own daughter's screams, and he gives up, realizing that he was killed by his wife, who threw him down the stairs after years of abuse.

It appears that Thomas has let go of his hold on Nolan, as we see Nolan, Ava, and Dr. Yeboah leave, but Thomas's exact fate is left unknown. Dr. Brooks is then shown repairing the black box and trying to run Thomas's mapped consciousness, which seems to work, as she looks into the black box, says his name, and smiles.

A young woman, Leyla, boards a train to Izmir without a ticket.

As the journey is 14 hours they decide to make peace and through the conversation find that their journeys are intertwined in unexpected ways that change their perspective on their plans and each other.

Matt has to become a real-life version of the video-game characters he designs to evade an awkward situation he's put himself in after a wild night.

Video game designer Matt Booth has one shot to save his career by unveiling his biggest project yet at the Video Game Awards in New Mexico. But after running into a friend at the airport and having a little too much to drink before his flight, he ends up in ACTUAL Mexico - specifically, Acapulco. As soon as he lands, he finds himself on the run from high-powered criminals, deadly hitmen and the Feds, all looking for a mysterious package that he has allegedly smuggled through customs yet knows nothing about. Partnering with a badass, beautiful femme fatale and channeling his inner video game action hero, the pair unravels a conspiracy that could shake the foundation of the United States, maybe even the world.

The film follows the early life of Tove Jansson from the end of World War II to the mid-1950s, showing her romantic relationships with the politician Atos Wirtanen and the theatre directer Vivica Bandler, as well as the creation and publication of the ''Moomins''.

Rena Haze is a high school student in Tokyo who is able to see spirits and has a line of about 100 following her around everywhere she goes. One day, she runs into Joh Mitama, an agent of , a government-recognized organization whose job it is to exorcise spirits using psychic energy. Mitama decides to move in next door to Rena and vows to protect her from spirits, but it turns out he is afraid of ghosts.

The dialogue takes place between two characters, Ettore B., an Italian soldier who officially died in combat on September 17 (but was perhaps executed), and Hans D., a German businessman. The relationships tying the two characters to the events that occurred on the island are very different: those of Ettore B. are real and final and those of Hans D., conceivably surreptitious. Their presence acquires meaning only on a symbolic level. Ettore B. is a direct victim of the war; Hans D. is an indirect executioner who cannot escape from the suspicion that executioners—direct or indirect—cannot be absolved by invoking a duty to obey or, least of all, a state of ignorance.

While attempting to steal from a V.I.L.E. building in Shanghai, Carmen learns that her friends, Zack and Ivy, have been kidnapped by V.I.L.E., and The Faculty threaten to brainwash them into becoming V.I.L.E. henchmen unless Carmen steals some objects for them. Carmen receives a tip from Player that Zack and Ivy are being held captive in a moving van outside the building. If Carmen attempts to rescue Zack and Ivy from the van, she discovers it was a ploy and Zack and Ivy are brainwashed, forcing the viewer to go back and agree to steal for V.I.L.E. in order to continue the episode.

For the first task, Coach Brunt tells Carmen to steal a soldier from the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, China. While Carmen is outside the dig site, she runs into Tigress, who has been sent to aid Carmen in the mission. They enter an underground tunnel and fall into a booby trap, which Carmen escapes and has the choice of saving Tigress from the trap or leaving her in the pit. Carmen enters the chamber to steal a terracotta statue, which is picked up by The Cleaners in a helicopter just as two guards enter the chamber. If Carmen hitches a ride into the helicopter, the guards grab her feet after she has climbed up the statue and the combined weight causes the statue to fall and break, angering Coach Brunt and leading to Zack and Ivy's brainwashing. If Carmen instead hides among the statues, she eludes the guards and escapes from the chamber.

Dr. Saira Bellum and Countess Cleo vie to direct Carmen's next task. Carmen is allowed to choose who she steals for first, but not before being allowed to speak to Zack and Ivy and taking a photo of them in their prison. She sends the photo to Player, who uses it to find out where their location is.

Cleo sends Carmen to Monte Carlo, Monaco to make off with some expensive Beluga caviar from a charity gala. At the event, where Mime Bomb is performing, Carmen locates A.C.M.E. Agent Julia Argent, who had been tipped off about the stolen terracotta warrior and V.I.L.E.'s plan to steal the eggs. Carmen can either trust Julia with the truth that she is stealing for V.I.L.E. or trick Julia by leading her up to the roof and then locking her on the roof of the building while she steals the caviar. She then sees that the waiters are about to plate the caviar and is given the option to sneak the caviar out and escape with it later or to grab all the caviar tins and immediately escape with them. If Carmen decides to stash the eggs, she is interrupted by Mime Bomb choking on the hors d'oeuvres. She saves him with the Heimlich maneuver, but when she enters the kitchen, the eggs have already been removed from their tins, leaving them with one day until they expire. She still escapes with them, but Cleo declares Carmen to have failed since the caviar was exposed and will only last for one day and Zack and Ivy are brainwashed. If Carmen decides instead to grab the cart of tins and dash out with them, she successfully flies out of the gala with the caviar fresh.

Dr. Bellum instructs Carmen to travel to Hell Creek, Montana to steal a Tyrannosaurus rex bone with tissue still intact. Once Carmen arrives and locates the bone, she can choose to either recruit El Topo or Le Chevre to help her escape. Once inside the museum where the bone is kept, she discovers that A.C.M.E. agents have surrounded the building and will be entering the museum in a moment. If Carmen attempts to hide from the A.C.M.E Agents and wait for the coast to be clear, she will try to hide inside a model dinosaur, but it will collapse from Carmen's weight and Carmen is caught and forced to flee without the bone, resulting in the bone likely being moved from the museum by the A.C.M.E. agents and Zack and Ivy being brainwashed. If Carmen makes a run for the lab to steal the bone, she escapes through the air duct and secures the bone for Dr. Bellum with El Topo or Le Chevre helping her make a hasty escape from the museum.

After the second task, Carmen checks in with Zack and Ivy again and takes another photo. She and Player deduce that Zack and Ivy are being held within the Arctic Circle. Carmen can choose to either attempt to rescue Zack and Ivy or proceed with V.I.L.E.'s third task. If Carmen chooses to rescue Zack and Ivy early, Tigress helps her into the facility where they are held if Carmen saved her from the pit booby trap. Carmen saves Zack and Ivy, but V.I.L.E. keeps the items that she stole for them. If Carmen left Tigress to find her own way out of the pit, Tigress refuses to let Carmen into the facility and presses the emergency lock and shut down button and Carmen is forced to take a longer route which leads to Zack and Ivy being brainwashed. They initially appear fine and go out for ice cream with Carmen, but then are ordered to capture her when V.I.L.E. activates their brainwashing, forcing the viewer to start the whole story over or to help Tigress instead.

If Carmen takes up both Cleo and Bellum's tasks, V.I.L.E. arranges for Carmen to board a ferry to the Île d'Oléron, where Zack and Ivy have been relocated in exchange for the items she stole. At the airport, she runs into Julia and asks for her help. If Carmen had tricked Julia in Monaco, Julia refuses to help and Carmen is forced to rescue her friends all by herself. V.I.L.E. captures Carmen when she gets off the ferry by shooting a knock out dart and brainwash her along with Zack and Ivy, which Carmen had surmised was their plan all along, and the faculty also keep and use the stolen items for their own nefarious purposes, causing the viewer to start over the story or to trust Julia. If Carmen had trusted Julia, she agrees to pose as Carmen on the ferry while the real Carmen rescues Zack and Ivy and escapes with them in the same helicopter that the terracotta warrior was taken in. Carmen delivers the items she stole to Julia's doorstep so they can be returned to their rightful places.

Upon finding either good ending, a bonus scene will be unlocked, with all of the cast members but the Chief and Carmen herself singing the theme song from the 1990s ''Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?'' game show. The end credits roll over an instrumental version of the theme to another 1990s animated Carmen series, ''Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?''

Slade then marries general Adeline "Addie" Kane who together have a son named Joseph. While on a mission in Cambodia as Deathstroke, he meets a woman named Lillian who he falls in love with. Unbeknownst to Slade, after he leaves completing his mission, Lillian gives birth to their daughter Rose who becomes orphaned after her mother dies in a hit and run. Ever since, Rose has lived alone until she is rescued by a mysterious man named Jackal, leader of the secret organization known as H.I.V.E., who trains her to one day become his successor. In the present-day, Joseph is kidnapped by Jackal. Slade returns home from one of his Deathstroke missions where he finds an angered Addie after she had discovered his Deathstroke identity from which Slade kept a secret from his family. Slade promises to bring back Joseph and hunts down Jackal at his base of operations. There, Slade is confronted by Jackal's agents Bronze Tiger and an unnamed woman. Slade kills the woman but his arm gets locked by Tiger. Slade breaks free from Tiger's arm lock and heads to kill Jackal. Just before Slade can rescue Joseph, his throat is sliced making him mute.

Ten years later, Slade continues operating as Deathstroke. One night, he is contacted by the H.I.V.E. Queen - H.I.V.E.'s new leader - who has Joseph hostage for his physic abilities, which he inherited from Slade. This reunites him with Adeline, who wants to join Slade in rescuing Joseph but Slade is reluctant. Before Slade leaves, Adeline shares a kiss with him.

During Slade and Jackal's fight, Jackal reveals that the woman who Slade killed while rescuing Joseph from him was Jackal's daughter hence why he took Slade's children under his wing. Just before Jackal uses his armor's powers to kill Slade, Slade redirects the blast leaving an opening in the plane prompting Slade and Jackal to fall out of it.

The game's setting mainly follows the ''BanG Dream!'' universe after the anime's first season. ''Girls Band Party!'' consists of the main story, band stories, and event stories, each of which are split into seasons.

In the main story's first season, the player character is a self-named worker at the live house CiRCLE who is tasked by fellow staff member Marina Tsukishima with recruiting groups for the Girls Band Party event. Poppin'Party, the franchise's main band, assists the player in their scouting, during which they enlist the groups Roselia, Afterglow, Pastel Palettes, and Hello, Happy World!. The second season focuses on CiRCLE's plans to host a second Girls Band Party.

Band stories individually focus on the bands. Poppin'Party has four such stories: the first, "Poppin'Party is Born!", is a retelling of their formation from the anime's first season; the second, "Colorful, Poppin' Candy", details the band's efforts to save the downtown festival; "Double Rainbow" centers on an argument between the five when keyboardist Arisa Ichigaya finds herself compounded by her studies and commitment to the band; "Live Beyond!!" focuses on the band's participation in the Rocking Star Festival and desire to spread their music. Afterglow's first two band stories "Afterglow, The Same As Always" and "Tied to the Skies" follow vocalist Ran Mitake's growth, including rebelling against her disapproving father in the former and her relationship with her bandmates as she progresses as a person in the latter, while the third "One of Us" tells of the band's efforts to play in a music event. Pastel Palettes' disastrous debut concert and attempts to change their reputation are covered in "Pastel Palettes, The Beginning", while "Luminous Once More" discusses the members' dreams and goals and "Title Idol" introduces a sister idol unit. Roselia's creation is detailed in their first story "Bloom of the Blue Rose", "Neo-Aspect" follows their efforts to rediscover their pride after a falling-out, and the band ponders its future in "Sprechchor". Hello, Happy World!'s first two stories "Smiles To The World! Hello, Happy Union!" and "I Need You!" focus on their plans to cheer up an injured friend of the band and restoring an old amusement park, respectively, and the band's third "Smile Connection!" follows their trip to a foreign country. The first band stories for Morfonica and Raise A Suilen discuss their formations, the latter of which is a retelling of ''BanG Dream! 3rd Season''. Morfonica's second, "Fly with the night", concerns violinist Rui Yashio's future with the band, while RAS' "Coruscate -DNA-" revolves around band leader Chiyu Tamade and her family.

Events, in which players compete with one another for the highest total score during a given time period, are complemented by stories. Examples of event stories include "Sakura Blooming Party!", where the first-year students convene for a sakura viewing party, and "A Song Unfinished", in which Roselia's vocalist Yukina Minato struggles to perform a song her father had written.

In the aftermath of the botched bum-rush, Taylor and Vaughn are dead, and Barry (Bill Hader) and Chris (Chris Marquette) have fled the scene. A Bolivian mob henchman finds Barry out in the desert and prepares to execute him before being shot dead by Chris from behind. The Bolivian mafia leader, Cristobal Sifuentes (Michael Irby), phones Goran (Glenn Fleshler), informing him about the two dead soldiers and tells him that he would've gladly shared the stash house if Goran had asked, but since his people were killed, they are now at war. Assuming one of the dead was Barry, NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) tells Fuches (Stephen Root) that Barry is dead, causing Fuches to break down. Meanwhile, the police listen in on the call between Sifuentes and Goran, and Detective Moss (Paula Newsome) pinpoints Barry to be the prime suspect of Ryan Madison's murder due to his background as a Marine. However, police soon find a copy of Ryan's book (that he gave to Barry) at Taylor's apartment, leading Taylor to become their main suspect.

Barry arrives at the community center and is informed by Sally (Sarah Goldberg) that the police found money in the theater and that they suspect Ryan is involved with the Chechen mafia. At rehearsal, Barry struggles to deliver his one line and is berated by Sally and Gene (Henry Winkler), the latter suspecting that Barry is on drugs. Barry later meets up with Chris in a remote location, who remains traumatized by the earlier events. Chris tells Barry that to clear his conscience, he will go to the authorities and confess. In response, Barry kills Chris and stages the scene as a suicide before fleeing.

Barry returns to the community center and Sally tells him that a talent agent that she invited is in the audience, and begs him to give her something to work with to impress the agent. However, as Barry waits in the wings, he becomes overwhelmed with the guilt of killing Chris and suffers an emotional breakdown. He then goes on stage and tearfully delivers his one line; Sally proceeds to harness Barry's delivery to give an outstanding performance. After the show, Gene congratulates and praises Barry backstage, but he remains overwhelmed with guilt, punching a glass frame in response. Back in the theater, Sally tells Barry that the agent was impressed by her performance, and thanks Barry for helping her. After Sally leaves, Barry stands alone on the stage, staring into the empty audience.

Venu (Venu Thottempudi) is in love with Madhavi (Ramya Krishnan) but tells Swati (Raasi) to act as his wife when his father's health starts deteriorating. Madhavi realises her love for Venu, but the latter finds himself being drawn to Swati.

Dr Henry Jekyll experiments with a serum on himself, with the result that he is transformed into an evil character who calls himself Edward Hyde. Jekyll does not see that Hyde is a version of himself and develops a multiple personality disorder. After murdering women, Hyde frames Jekyll, who wishes to give himself up to the police, but Hyde intervenes, knowing that if Jekyll is hanged, Hyde will die too. Jekyll then kills himself.

In Arkansas in 1999, Mandy is an overworked nurse with a drug addiction. In addition to stealing patient medications, she finances her drug habit by harvesting dead patients' organs. Desk nurse Karen is Mandy's partner, and Mandy has recently brought on her cousin Regina to transport the organs to trafficker Nicholas.

One night, at the start of her 12-hour shift, Mandy hands over a harvested kidney in a cooler to Regina behind the hospital. Regina accidentally leaves the cooler with the kidney, instead carrying a cooler with a soda can to Nicholas. Nicholas demands Regina get the kidney or he will take hers. Regina cannot find the kidney at the hospital. Mandy refuses to help her, so Regina dresses like a nurse and kills one of Mandy's patients by pouring bleach down his throat. Regina expects that Mandy will be able to extract the dead patient's kidney, but Mandy angrily explains that he was on dialysis, so his kidneys are unusable.

Police arrive to investigate the murdered patient. Regina attacks more people and threatens to expose the organ trafficking operation unless Mandy helps her. Mandy agrees and tells Regina to wait outside. Regina sees one of Nicholas's henchman, and in a panic kills a passing skateboarder to take his kidney, but ends up taking his bladder instead. Meanwhile, inside the hospital Mandy kills a patient with an overdose and manages to harvest his kidney. She leaves the kidney in another cooler by the vending machine, but it has disappeared by the time Regina gets to it.

Nicholas's henchman Mikey, who has entered the hospital and terrorized staff and patients, prepares to drag Regina away, but she desperately suggests that they kidnap a comatose patient so that Nicholas can take all his organs. The comatose patient is Mandy's abusive, drug-addicted half-brother. Mandy intervenes, and together she and Regina manage to overcome Mikey. The police investigation incorrectly determines that Mikey had been committing the murders around the hospital. Regina leaves. Hospital guest Mr. Kent suddenly announces that he has been finding the coolers containing kidneys all night; the exhausted Mandy leaves to take a nap in her truck. The film ends with Mandy re-entering the hospital to begin her next shift, followed shortly thereafter by Nicholas.

Setting

''Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future'' is set on the Earth-like world of Eos, which is overseen by a divine race called the Astrals and populated by humans. In the midst of a war between the Niflheim empire and the free kingdom of Lucis over control of the magical Crystal, a plague called the Starscourge is spreading over Eos, turning native life into Daemons and lengthening the nights. The Oracle, a human gifted with the power to commune with the Astrals, acts as a healer holding the Starscourge at bay. According to prophecy, a figure called the True King will cleanse Eos by uniting the power of the Astrals and the Crystal at the cost of his life.

The novel follows four characters during events leading off from ''Final Fantasy XV'' and its DLC. They are Noctis Lucis Caelum, heir to the throne of Lucis and the chosen True King, Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, the current Oracle and Noctis's fiancée in a political marriage; Aranea Highwind, a dragoon mercenary working for Niflheim; and Ardyn Izunia—also called Ardyn Lucis Caelum—the Chancellor of Niflheim and the main antagonist. The novel reflects the original narrative until Ardyn's decision to reject his fate; the developers confirmed that the canon option was for Ardyn to accept the Astral Bahamut's decree on his fate.

Story

;A Savior Lost Ardyn Lucis Caelum is a healer blessed by the Crystal to cure the Starscourge; his attitude and disagreement with the militaristic stance of his brother Somnus causes friction between them. This escalates into Somnus staging a coup, with Ardyn's lover Aera Mirus Fleuret being killed. Ardyn attempts to gain aid from the Crystal, but it repels him due to the Starscourge in his body; when he touches it, a piece of his soul becomes trapped in the Crystal, making him immortal. Imprisoned on the island of Angelgard, Ardyn suffers through two millennia of delusions before Verstael Bethesia of Niflheim retrieves him. At Verstael's urging, Ardyn embraces his powers, corrupting the Astral Ifrit, taking on the surname "Izunia" and gradually losing his sanity by absorbing the memories of his victims. An attack he stages in Insomnia is stalled by Bahamut, who reveals Ardyn's purpose is to act as a sacrifice for the True King Noctis to purge the Starscourge. Ardyn rebels, and after being tortured and returned to Angelgard by Bahamut vows to destroy both Noctis and the Astrals. The scene changes to before the intended final battle, where Ardyn waits for Noctis, but is confronted by Lunafreya.

;The Beginning of the End Aranea returns to Gralea from a mission, reminiscing about the growing militarism causing life in Niflheim to become bleak. Aranea finds Gralea under attack from military Daemon troops, with Ardyn announcing the end of Niflheim. Aranea finds Emperor Aldercapt dead, and attempts to fight Ardyn before deciding to help save as many as possible in Gralea and neighbouring Tenebrae. Before escaping, she is entrusted by the Niflheim soldier Loqi Tummelt with escorting a young girl to safety. Loqi sacrifices himself to ensure their escape, and Aranea's unit takes down a pursuing large-scale Daemon weapon. Upon arrival in Tenebrae, she learns the girl is Solara Aldercapt Antiquum, Aldercapt's secret granddaughter. Ten years later, Solara has grown into a rebellious and capable hunter of Daemons.

;Choosing Freedom Lunafreya, having sacrificed herself to further Noctis's journey, is revived by Bahamut in a tomb on the Niflheim continent, meeting Solara while running from Daemons. As they travel back towards humanity's stronghold in Lestallum, Lunafreya shows her ability to absorb the Starscourge, though it gradually changes her body. During their journey, Lunafreya begins to question her mission through Solara's critical view of the Astrals, and reveals that a conflict-weary Bahamut tried to destroy Eos in the Great War of Old before being stopped by the other Astrals. In her dreams, she is met by Shiva, who attempts to warn her about Bahamut's motives. Returning to the Lucis continent, Lunafreya helps Solara rescue Aranea from an underground tomb, absorbing the Starscourge infecting Aranea. This completes Lunafreya's change into a Daemonic form, but Solara stops her being killed and she is transported to Lestallum. In a dream, Lunafreya is told by Shiva that Bahamut intends to fulfil his plan of purging Eos, using her to gather darkness to empower his "final summoning" Teraflare. Lunafreya escapes with help from Solara and Aranea, intent on convincing Ardyn to work with her to foil Bahamut.

;The Final Glaive During his slumber in the Crystal, Noctis relives the memories stored there, including those of Ardyn. Upon emerging, Noctis is met by Solara and told of Lunafreya's plan. Lunafreya fails to win Ardyn over, but manages to purge Ifrit of the Starscourge and forge a Covenant with him, but doing this overwhelms her. When Noctis arrives, he is forced to fight her Daemonic form, then sees Bahamut use her darkness to begin charging Teraflare. Noctis convinces Ardyn to perform the True King's ritual in his place, then with the aid of his friends Noctis frees Lunafreya and unites with the other Astrals to block most of Teraflare's impact and defeat Bahamut's physical form. Ardyn sacrifices himself performing the ritual, causing the Crystal to absorb the Starscourge before shattering, and destroys Bahamut's spiritual form before his spirit fades. With Bahamut's death, magic and the Astrals vanish from Eos, though Shiva heals Lunafreya before vanishing. The story ends with the world recovering, and Noctis and Lunafreya marrying.

Fifteen-year-old Zhu Chaoyang is a young boy who excels academically, but he is detested by others for his cold demeanor. His parents are divorced and he is generally left to fend for himself. His mother, Zhou Chunhong, is often gone for work at a resort. He has a poor relationship with his father, Zhu Yongping, his step-mother, Wang Yao, and his half-sister, Zhu Jingjing.

Chaoyang is approached by Yan Liang, his former primary school acquaintance. Liang introduces Chaoyang to a younger girl named Yue Pu (nicknamed Pupu). The two escaped from a welfare house. Liang's father was a criminal and former drug addict who now lives in a mental hospital. Pupu is an orphan who needs 300,000 yuan to treat her younger brother's leukemia. Chaoyang agrees to let them stay in his apartment while his mother is at work.

Chen Guansheng is a police officer about to retire. He arrested Liang's father years ago and, as a result, he feels a bit of responsibility for Liang. Guansheng is on the trail of Liang and Pupu, but consistently one step behind.

Zhang Dongsheng is a teacher whose wife, Xu Jing, wants a divorce. He takes his in-laws to Mount Liufeng and asks them to help him fix his marriage, but they refuse. Enraged, Dongsheng pushes them off a cliff to their deaths. The three kids accidentally record this crime while visiting the mountain to take pictures. The trio decide to trade the footage with Dongsheng in exchange for 300,000 yuan. Dongsheng says he doesn't have the money but offers them 30,000 yuan upfront with payments to come later.

Jingjing falls to her death from the fifth floor when Pupu and Chaoyang are present. However, Chaoyang claims to have not witnessed the event out of fear of being blamed. Wang Yao's gangster brother, Wang Li, learns of Jingjing's death. He kidnaps Chaoyang and tries to torture a confession out of the boy. Dongsheng tries to steel Wang Li's car keys to retrieve the 30,000 yuan he gave the children. However, he is caught by Wang Li and so Dongshang stabs him to death. Chaoyang is found by Yongping and Wang Yao, who take him to the hospital.

Pupu eventually begins to trust Dongsheng after he saved Chaoyang and let her and Liang stay at his apartment during a typhoon. Dongsheng gives the kids 300,000 yuan he borrows from a loan shark but overhears Liang telling Chaoyang that he will keep backup footage of the murders. Dongsheng forces Liang to give him the backup but finds that it is fake. As a result, he hesitates to save Pupu during an asthma attack and puts her in danger of dying of asphyxiation.

Wang Yao and Yongping return to the factory to look for Wang Li but are attacked and murdered by Dongsheng. Chaoyang and Liang also arrive at the factory to search for Pupu, but fail to find her. Dongsheng burns down the building and escapes. Chaoyang and Liang decide to finally report Dongsheng.

The boys arrange a meeting with Dongsheng on an old ship. Liang sends a letter to Guansheng about Dongsheng's crimes and the 300,000 yuan to save Pupu's brother. The two boys confront Dongsheng, and he tells Chaoyang to stab him. Chaoyang hesitates and stabs Dongsheng in the shoulder but not in the heart. Dongsheng reveals Pupu is alive and safe in the hospital. As Dongsheng moves to stab Chaoyang to death, he is shot to death by the police. Chaoyang returns to life as normal with his mother. Guansheng pays for Pupu's brother's medical treatment. Liang aspires to become a police officer. At Pupu's behest, Chaoyang tells the police of the true cause of Jingjing's death.

The play is set in 1947. Dick Tassell is returning as a schoolmaster at Hilary Hall, a boys' school, after five years in the Royal Air Force. Many wartime expedients are still in force, and the staff of the College reconcile themselves to having to share their premises with another school, whose bombed buildings remain in ruins. But by a bureaucratic error, the school to be billeted at Hilary Hall is St Swithins – a girls' school.

After early skirmishing and mutual disdain the Headmaster of Hilary Hall, Godfrey Pond, and the Principal of St Swithins, Miss Whitchurch, try to reach an accommodation to cope with the ensuing problems. Miss Whitchurch establishes an early advantage by getting the men to stop smoking on the premises and to have the dormitories reserved for the girls, with the boys reduced to sleeping in the carpentry room. She is obliged to cooperate with Pond when parents turn up, the girls' expecting netball, the boys', boxing and cricket. It is unthinkable that they should learn that their children are mingling with the opposite sex. By frantic manoeuvring the staff keep the two lots of parents from meeting each other and ensure, by the narrowest of margins and high-speed moves of pupils from one classroom to another, that each set sees what they are expecting to see in the classroom and on the sports field. Matters are further complicated by the relations between the male and female teachers. Tassell and Joyce Harper, one of Miss Whitchurch's younger staff, become increasingly close (ending up together by the end of the play) while Miss Gossage, Miss Whitchurch's hearty deputy, becomes keen on Rupert Billings, Pond's blasé mathematics master, who is aghast at her interest in him.

At the end of Act 2 the deception finally falls apart: both sets of parents, the boys and girls, and the staff of both schools all run into each other. Miss Whitchurch faints into Miss Gossage's arms. In the last act the two head teachers make strenuous attempts to get the bureaucratic blunder resolved, while the parents become increasingly irate. At the end of the play a fleet of coaches arrives bearing the staff and pupils of another displaced school – this one co-educational. As the chaos mounts, Miss Whitchurch blows a piercing blast on a whistle, the action freezes and the play ends.

In 1984, Zamboanga City Mayor Cesar Climaco is murdered, and patrolman Rizal Alih is detained for his suspected involvement in the crime. In January 1989, Alih and his men take over Camp Cawa-Cawa, the military base where they were held, and hold Brigadier General Eduardo Batalla and Colonel Romeo Abendan hostage.

In New York City, a young writer's resolute belief in true love is put to the test by a beautiful girl and her struggle with addiction.

Sammy Lagucci is a Brooklyn-based criminal who would only change his life for his little daughter. When he finds out that the gangsters he's related to are plotting to take him down, he enters the witness protection program to protect himself and his family. Ending up in a small Wisconsin town, he finds himself a good stand-up comedian and succeeds. But what should be a blessing turns into a curse as your fame grows, putting your new identity at stake.

In 2002 Toronto, 13-year-old Meilin "Mei" Lee, who lives with her parents, Ming and Jin, helps take care of the family's temple dedicated to their ancestor Sun Yee, and works to make her mother proud. She hides her personal interests from Ming, such as the fact that she and her friends Miriam, Priya, and Abby are fans of the boy band 4*Town. One night when Ming, who is strict and overprotective, discovers Mei's crush on Devon, the local convenience store clerk, she inadvertently humiliates Mei in public.

That night, Mei has a vivid nightmare involving red pandas. When she wakes up the next morning, she has transformed into a large red panda. She hides from her parents and discovers that she transforms only when she is in a state of high emotion. When she reverts to human form her hair remains red, and so she goes to school in a touque. Ming initially believes Mei is experiencing her first period, but learns the truth when she humiliates her at school, causing Mei to transform and run home in panic and tears.

Ming and Jin explain that Sun Yee was granted this transformation to protect her daughters and her village during wartime, and that all her female descendants have also had this ability. This has become inconvenient and dangerous in modern times, so the red panda spirit must be sealed in a talisman by a ritual on the night of a lunar eclipse, which will take place in a month's time. Mei's friends discover her transformation, but take a liking to it; Mei finds that concentrating on them enables her to control her transformations.

Ming allows Mei to resume her normal life, but refuses to let Mei attend 4*Town's upcoming concert. Instead, the girls secretly raise money for the tickets at school by exploiting the popularity of Mei's red panda form while lying to Ming about how Mei is spending her time. To raise the last $100, Mei agrees to attend school bully Tyler's birthday party as the red panda. At the party, Mei is upset to discover that the concert will be on the night she is to undergo the ritual. In her rage, she attacks Tyler when he insults her family, frightening the other kids. Ming discovers Mei's activities and accuses her friends of corrupting and taking advantage of her. Ashamed of her actions and afraid to stand up to her mother, Mei fails to come to her friends' defense.

To Ming's dismay, Mei's grandmother and aunts arrive to assist with Mei's ritual. As Mei prepares herself, Jin finds videos she recorded of herself as the red panda with her friends and tells her she should not be ashamed of this side of her, but to embrace it. During the ritual, as Mei's red panda form is about to be sealed, she decides to keep her powers and abandons the ritual to attend the concert at the SkyDome; in making her escape, she breaks Ming's talisman, releasing her red panda form as well. At the concert she reconciles with her friends and discovers that Tyler is also a 4*Town fan. However, an enraged Ming, having become a ''kaiju''-sized red panda, disrupts the concert, intending to take Mei back by force.

Mei and Ming argue about the former's independence. As they quarrel, Mei accidentally knocks her mother unconscious. Mei's grandmother and aunts break their talismans to use their red panda forms to help drag Ming into a new ritual circle. Mei's friends and 4*Town join in singing to complete the ritual, sending Mei, Ming, and the other women to the astral plane. Mei reconciles with her mother. She helps her mend her bond with her own mother, whom Ming accidentally scarred in anger before her own red panda form was sealed. The other women contain their red pandas in new talismans; but Mei decides to keep hers, and Ming accepts that she is finding her own path.

Later, as the Lee family raises money to repair the damage to the SkyDome, Mei and Ming's relationship has improved. Mei balances her temple duties—where her red panda is now an attraction—with spending time with her friends, who now include Tyler.

Former British soldier Sam Norwood returns from Iraq after the death of his friend Douglas. Sam struggles to find work upon his return, despite his friends offering him a place in their drugs trafficking network. In order to provide for his wife and child, Sam takes up work in a prison as an officer, or 'screw'. Sam passes basic training alongside fellow recruits; the mild mannered Curtis and naïve hothead, Niall. The other officers include Chief Officer Rumpole and experienced officers, Deano, Jamie and Eddie aswell as female officer Charlie and the volatile male officer, Hunington. The prisons warden Keenan establishes to the new recruits that the prison is under his complete authority.

Hunington causes a small brawl causing Jamie to be punched. Sam clashes with Hunington after work though Deano defends Hunington leaving Sam somewhat ostracised. Sam continues to bond with Curtis and falls under the tutelage of Eddie. After handling a few minor incidents Sam grows to enjoy his work and after work pub trips with his colleagues. After a specialist prisoner Bear is caught attempting to smuggle drugs Sam and Eddie are forced to detain him. Bear fights back and injures Charlie affording Sam and Eddie the opportunity to restrain him via standard training methods and completely by the book. In spite of this, Deano informs Sam that Bear is an untouchable prisoner having been transferred after being assaulted by guards in his last prison. As such Bear cuts a deal with Keenan who himself is trying to prove to his superiors that he is against prison violence and considers himself a reformist. Bear insists that Eddie used unreasonable force allowing Keenan to fire him and raise his own stock while causing Sam to bond more with Deano and Jamie over Eddie's unfair dismissal.

Sam clashes with one of the prisons top inmates, Truman (and his right hand man Steadman), and confronts Keenan about the unfair treatment Eddie received but is shocked when Keenan informs him that if Sam wants to take the matter further it will be assumed he too was abusing his power and will come under police investigation. Deano and Sam bond over their distaste of Keenan and Sam embraces Deano's lifestyle of strip clubs, heavy drinking and substance abuse, thus causing a rift between himself and his wife Danielle. The continual stress of his work including Truman discovering his address, Steadman in solitary confinement requiring the intervention of Sam, Jamie and Deano in riot gear, and the suicide of another prisoner, all compound Sam's PTSD over the death of Douglas. Meanwhile Truman and Steadman kill Bear after discovering the special treatment he receives from Keenan.

While Sam's mental state deteriorates, Curtis reveals he has a snitch in the prison who has given him a tip off. As a result Steadman is caught in possession of a large amount of drugs as well as the clothes Truman wore to kill Bear. Steadman is detained and the officers assume that Truman's day will be done after the forensic reports from the clothes return. Late one night Curtis is killed forcing Sam to confess his struggles to Danielle. The two reconcile and Sam soon finds from his drug trafficking friends outside of prison that Deano is 'bent' and working with Truman, likely behind the death of Curtis and planning to kill his informant. Sam immediately tells Jamie. Shortly after a riot breaks out and Niall is taken hostage alongside a fellow officer. Sam and Jamie fight their way to Truman and Deano but find no informant. Deano reveals that both he and Jamie are bent and that Truman runs drugs for them inside. The trio do not care about the informant as the death of Curtis has likely kept them quiet, all they need to get away with their crimes is to kill Sam and blame his death on the riot. Truman suddenly turns on the pair and attacks Jamie allowing Sam to overpower Deano. The riot ends as riot officers enter and all 4 are detained.

Truman cuts a deal with Keenan for no repercussions in his role in the death of Bear as well as a transfer to a safer wing; in return Truman will testify against Deano and Jamie, exposing their corruption and justifying Sam as a hero. Truman shares one last glance with Sam signifying a truce between the two. Sam and Rumpole then join each other for a final cigarette outside the prison before Sam hands Rumpole his keys and leaves the prison with his approval to the waiting Danielle. Sam and his family drive away from the prison as Sam smiles in relief.

A mad albino scientist (Brion James) injects a substance into the water supply for the fictional town of Canyonland, an isolated town in rural Utah, with the help of a shadowy, unknown agency. Anybody who drinks the water eventually turns into a rabid zombie. Some visitors who recently arrived in a Recreational Vehicle observe the zombies. After recollecting seeing something unusual at the river as they were driving to the town, they suspect it is the water turning the towns residents crazy. They attempt in vain to warn city officials and reach the outside world for help. The escape attempts are futile as the mad scientist has severed all means to leave or communicate with the outside world. Survivors at city hall formulate a theory they are part of a test of a new bio-weapon, capable of destroying an entire nation with relative ease. The surviving towns people realize the next phase of the experiment is to incinerate the remains of the town to erase all traces of the test. By the time the Sheriff learns the water is poisoned it is too late, he has already drank. The Sheriff, in a last act of defiance before he transforms into a zombie, tries to force his way into a van the townspeople suspect is the command center, while others set fire to the van. While this cripples the experiment, the Albino is still alive. One of the visitors, Reilly (Bo Hopkins) offers to take the lead to kill the albino to atone for his past; he and the Sheriff's daughter (who is also a deputy) decide to pursue the Albino on horseback, and once outside the town radio for help, thinking horses are the only viable way out of town. A chase ensues and the albino is eventually killed after the agency's attempt to extricate him via helicopter turns into a duel.

Once the situation is contained, the Sheriff's daughter and the visiting stranger contemplate a relationship as they observe the decimated town.

At home in Buenos Aires, Clara hears strange voices coming from the plughole in her kitchen sink. Her husband, Juan, is perplexed when she reports that they were discussing a plan to kill her. That night, awakened by thumping sounds he assumes at first to be coming from the house next door, Juan is terrified to find Clara's dead body hovering in midair in their bathroom, violently and repeatedly slamming against the wall as if thrown by an invisible force.

Walter, who lives next door, is also experiencing supernatural occurrences. Each night, as he tries to sleep, invisible forces shake and move his furniture, including his bed. When he uses a video camera to film the events, he sees a tall, naked figure emerging beneath the bed, standing over him as he sleeps, and hiding in the wardrobe.

Across the road, Alicia is grieving the death of her young son, who has recently been hit by a bus outside Walter's house. Paranormal investigator and former coroner Jano, arrives at the behest of Alicia's ex-boyfriend, police commissioner Funes, who reveals that the corpse of the dead boy is currently sitting at the kitchen table, having apparently returned from the cemetery, leaving a trail of muddy footprints behind it. After deliberating, the two eventually move the now inanimate corpse to an outside freezer.

Nearby, Jano bumps into another paranormal investigator, Dr. Mora Albreck, whom he recognizes from the conference circuit. She has arrived to meet Walter, after viewing the video recordings he had sent her, but he now appears to have gone missing, leaving his house standing empty. Together with Rosentock, another supernatural researcher, Jano and Albreck visit Juan, who is now the main suspect in his wife's murder and is being held in a psychiatric facility. Assuring him that they believe his story, they ask permission to investigate his house, which he grants.

Soon after, the specialists return to the troubled street, before separating to investigate one property each over the course of one night. Funes accompanies Rosenstock, who is based at Walter's house. As weird phenomena occur and the investigators begin to die in gruesome and inexplicable ways, Funes realizes he has no choice but to flee the scene or risk losing his own life.

Back at the psychiatric facility, the police attempt to further question Juan but he is distracted by the figure of a tall man he says is behind them, a man who resembles a burned Rosentock. They turn around, seeing nothing except for an empty chair. Suddenly, the chair flies towards the camera, hurled by an invisible force.

Following their defeat at the hands of Crash, Uka Uka attempts to liberate himself and Doctors Neo Cortex and Nefarious Tropy from their prison in the past. His latest effort rips open a hole in the fabric of space and time, and causes him to pass out. Cortex and N. Tropy swiftly escape, abandoning Uka Uka. They discover that the rift links their universe to the rest of the multiverse, and decide to make use of it to conquer all dimensions. To ensure success, the pair create the Rift Generator, a generator capable of opening other space-time rifts, and recruit aid from Doctors N. Gin and Nitrus Brio to provide an army in anticipation of their enemies' interference. Aku Aku, Uka Uka's twin brother, senses a great power emanating from N. Sanity Island's central peak, and urges Crash to investigate. Crash's exploration leads him to Lani-Loli, whom Aku Aku recognizes as one of the Quantum Masks – four ancient witch doctor masks that have great power over space and time, and who would only appear if something has opened up the multiverse. At Lani-Loli's urging, Crash and his sister Coco follow him through a rift as he explains that they need to find the other three Quantum Masks across the multiverse to seal the rifts.

During their adventure, Crash and Coco meet an alternate version of Tawna, Crash's old girlfriend. Although they are thrilled to see each other, Tawna declines to explain what happened to Crash and Coco in her own dimension, and insists on working alone. At the same time, Crash and Coco's old enemy Dingodile, who recently retired from villainy to run a diner, is sucked into a rift after exacting revenge on a group of rivaling moonshiner bats after they detonate his business, and he traverses through dimensions in his search for home. Crash and Coco find the Quantum Masks Akano and Kupuna-Wa and defeat N. Gin and N. Brio. When they defeat Cortex, N. Tropy betrays him and reveals that he and his new partner (later revealed to be a female version of himself from Tawna's dimension) plan to use the Rift Generator's power to reset the timeline in all dimensions so that they may rule over all existence as gods. An incensed Cortex agrees to team up with the Bandicoots, and the three rescue the last Quantum Mask Ika-Ika. The trio meet up with Dingodile and Tawna on a space station, but Tawna captures Crash and Coco and leaves them bound as she goes to face the Tropies at the Rift Generator herself. After Dingodile and Cortex free Crash and Coco, they happen upon Tawna struggling against the female Tropy, who tauntingly reveals that she killed Crash and Coco herself in Tawna's dimension. After the Tropies are defeated, the Quantum Masks destroy the Rift Generator, sealing all the space-time disruptions.

However, following a celebratory trip to a futuristic city, Cortex betrays the group and kidnaps Kupuna-Wa. He uses her powers to travel back in time to 1996 – the year of his original bid for world domination – in an attempt to avert Crash's creation. Ultimately, he is unsuccessful in both convincing his past self to abandon the experiment and killing the present Crash, Coco and Aku Aku, who followed him from the future. As the Quantum Masks banish him to a remote corner of the universe, the past Cortex proceeds with the experiment, preparing to brainwash the past Crash with the Cortex Vortex; the present Crash accidentally destroys the Vortex's power source, causing it to malfunction and reject his past self, thereby ensuring his own creation. Dingodile rebuilds and reopens his diner, Cortex relaxes on a beach and enjoys the peace and quiet, and Crash, Coco, Tawna, Aku Aku and the Quantum Masks play video games at their home on N. Sanity Island. Following an epilogue narrated by Crash detailing the fates and whereabouts of the game's characters, Cortex's relaxation is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Uka Uka.

''Freddy's Book'' is a novel within a novel. The narrator, professor Jack Winesap, is given a manuscript by the son of a friend, a frightening, reclusive young man named Freddy Agaard who is giant-sized due to a glandular imbalance. His father calls him a "monster".

The meeting of the narrator and Freddy serves as the opening of a frame story – a story within a story – that never returns to the outer frame. The reader is left at the end to wonder about the meaning of the story and how it is connected to the character of Freddy in the outer story. The fine quality of the story reflects well on Freddy, but why did he write it?

After the opening chapter, the bulk of the novel is the narrator reading the story in Freddy's manuscript. It tells the tale of Lars-Goren and the Devil. Lars-Goren Berquist is a middle-aged, vaguely medieval freeman who sets off on a journey to find and kill the devil. Lars-Goren is a poor relation of Swedish King Gustav. King Gustav has managed his rise to the throne by negotiating a dangerous bargain with the devil, but Lars-Goren understands the flaw in making such a bargain, and sets out to end it – by killing the devil. Other characters are the nihilistic Bishop Brast, Lars-Goren's wife, and the devil.

The devil shows up as apparitions in the inner story several times, to meet and talk with Lars-Goren, attempting to trick him into failing in his search for the devil's physical location. The ending is both anticlimactic and grippingly written: Lars-Goren does find the devil, reclining in the form of a mountain in the wilderness, climbs the "mountain" and kills the devil with a stone knife, and returns home to his wife.

Guy and Prisca Cappa are going through a divorce. To avoid saddening their young children⁠ Maddox and Trent⁠, the couple takes them to a tropical resort as a final family vacation. At their hotel, Guy and Prisca are given complimentary drinks and the children befriend the resort manager's nephew, Idlib. At night, Maddox and Trent overhear their parents arguing and play a message decoding game with Idlib.

The next morning, the manager invites the family to a secluded beach where three additional parties are present: rapper "Mid-Sized Sedan", and a female companion; surgeon Charles, his wife Chrystal, their young daughter Kara, and Charles's mother Agnes; and Jarin and Patricia Carmichael, a close-knit husband and wife. Trent⁠ discovers the corpse of Mid-Sized Sedan's companion. Charles grows suspicious of Mid-Sized Sedan, who reveals that he has been experiencing nosebleeds because of his hemophilia. After the children rapidly turn into teenagers and Agnes suddenly dies, the families conclude that the beach is rapidly aging them, with the occupants undergoing the equivalent of one year of aging every 30 minutes. At least one member of each family has an underlying medical condition. They discover that trying to leave will result in them blacking out and waking up back to where they left.

In a fit of rage, Charles cuts Mid-Sized Sedan with a pocket knife and the group watches as his injury quickly heals. After Prisca develops a stomach tumor, Charles performs a successful surgery to remove it. Mid-Sized Sedan discovers that the body of his companion has fully decomposed in a matter of hours. Kara and Trent continue to age and after having sex with each other, Kara gets pregnant. She manages to give birth, but the baby dies due to the time rapidly passing. Trent and Maddox discover the notebook of a previous traveler, along with indications of them being watched. The attempts to leave grow tenser when Charles's worsening schizophrenia causes him to kill Mid-Sized Sedan. Jarin drowns, Kara falls to her death, Patricia suffers a fatal epileptic seizure, and Chrystal's hypocalcemia results in her bones rupturing, killing her. At night, Charles attacks Guy in a schizophrenic episode, but Prisca slashes him with a rusted knife, instigating a fatal blood infection that kills Charles. An elderly Guy and Prisca make amends before dying moments apart from each other.

With only the now-middle-aged Maddox and Trent remaining by the next morning, the pair construct a sandcastle. They revisit a secret message given to them by Idlib, which Trent deduces is connected to an underwater coral passage. Believing that the passage will allow them to leave the beach without losing consciousness, he and his sister start swimming through the coral. After they seemingly fail to emerge from the water, a resort employee monitoring them reports that the entire group has died. He gives the news to the manager, who mentions a previous incident where a guest had almost escaped from the beach before announcing that trial 73 has concluded.

It is revealed that the resort is a front for a research team from the pharmaceutical company Warren & Warren which was conducting clinical trials of new medical drugs, which are administered to guests with medical conditions by spiking their drinks. Since the beach naturally accelerates the lives of the guests, the researchers have been able to complete the lifelong drug trials within a day. The researchers lure a new group to the beach, but are interrupted by Trent and Maddox, who survived their underwater swim, using the notebook as evidence which they gave to vacationing police officer Greg Mitchel. The researchers are mentioned to have been arrested with subpoenas sent to the rest of Warren & Warren as Mitchel plans to reunite Trent and Maddox with their aunt.

As in the previous game, the plot is about overthrowing a tyrannical government. The game is set in the fictional Middle Eastern country of Kuamar. The game's protagonist, Raven, and his handler, Alex, are not connected to the previous game.

Waking up months after his squadron was killed in a fierce battle and recovering from his injuries, Sgt. Rock is tasked by Lt. Matthew Shrieve to capture a German Nazi scientist, giving him the top secret Creature Commandos at his service. The Commandos consist of Pvt. Warren Griffith, a wolfman hybrid, Sgt. Vincent Velcoro, a vampire, and Pvt. Elliot "Lucky" Taylor, a Frankenstein-like Monster. The squad was to infiltrate a medieval castle and capture the Nazi scientist and his assistant alive. Sgt. Rock had to keep his men restrained from going overboard especially Velcoro who was literally bloodthirsty saying "Nazi soldiers are human beings, not food" when they took out a German patrol near the castle. They quietly entered the castle and found the scientist but they got ambushed by Rock's archenemy the Iron Major and a fight ensures. The assistant scientist activated a switch to a generator powering a "rumored doomsday weapon" Sgt. Rock was informed by Lt. Shrieve but there was also a loud pounding sound coming from large steel doors in the laboratory. Taylor destroyed the generator and the steel doors burst open. Sgt. Rock, at first, thought reinforcements arrived when he saw what he believed were silhouettes of U.S. soldiers but Iron Major was laughing and then to his horror it was reveled that his squad Easy Company were revived as undead soldiers. The Creature Commandos managed to kill five of the zombies but they found out the generator that was destroyed was powering to revive Rock's friend Bulldozer. Bulldozer was a physically equal match to Taylor and both Velcoro and Griffith could not stop him either. Sgt. Rock managed to get a hold of his Thompson submachine gun and fired a full magazine, full auto burst at Bulldozer blowing the latters head off killing him. As the laboratory catches on fire, Iron Major and the scientists attempt to flee but Rock and the Commandos corner them. The Major gloats saying Rock will not shoot them because he has orders to take them alive so that the Americans can force them to build their own "army of the dead". Realizing this, Rock orders the Commandos to kill the Iron Major and the scientists and burn down the castle along with every trace of their research. Once outside, Rock order the Commandos to fall in as he is about to make a statement. He says that Lt. Shrieve has been taking them for granted and Rock has guaranteed he will do everything in his power so that never again will the Creature Commandos be deployed in battle in this manner. As they move out, Rock takes one last look at the burning castle knowing he has given Easy Company a proper cremation before he departs.

The story tells of Vincent Omata, a man living in Gotham City, told in flashbacks.

As a boy, Vincent loves to draw lying on his bedroom floor for hours at a time. Ignoring his father's criticisms, Vincent enrolls in the fine arts program at Gotham University as an adult. There, his professor deems him not talented enough to succeed and cruelly suggests a career in dentistry instead. Over time, Vincent's fruitless toil as a struggling artist causes the deterioration of his relationship, ending in his girlfriend Charlotte walking out on him after six years.

The short finds Vincent painting the front gates at Arkham Asylum, where he is fired in short order for his slow pace of work and defiant attitude. He seeks solace in a bar, but is tormented by ghosts of his past in the form of fiery demons: his father, his art professor, Charlotte, and now his former boss at Arkham. At the bar, Vincent encounters a pale woman in black clothes and gothic makeup. Immediately enamoured with her, Vincent expresses a desire to paint her portrait, but the woman explains she has to go and exits the bar to the sounds of police sirens.

Vincent staggers home to a decrepit apartment. He shoots up on the couch and falls into a deep sleep, only waking to the sound of a crash. Vincent looks out his window to find the same goth woman being yelled at by two strangers. Vincent defends her from the window, but when he goes outside to help, he finds her all alone, the two people revealed to the viewers as the victims of the recent car crash. The woman offers to see Vincent's work, and he brings her up to his apartment.

Inside, Vincent is shy about all his unfinished canvases, and his demons ridicule him. The woman remarks that he's gifted, but notes that there is a spark missing from his work that he may have had long ago. Vincent explains about his childhood spent on his bedroom floor drawing, and how it felt like time stopped when he was creating. He again mentions painting her portrait, explaining that he sees something special in her. She graciously agrees to pose for him. As Vincent prepares to paint, the demons tirelessly try to distract him but he ignores them. While he paints, the demons begin to die, burning out one by one. When he is finished, Vincent is amazed with his work until he realizes that it is still evening and time has stopped.

It is revealed that the mysterious woman is Death and that Vincent died from an overdose of heroin on his couch hours ago. Distraught, Vincent posits that at least this portrait will be a worthwhile thing to leave behind. However, when time unpauses, ash from the cigarette in Vincent's corpse's hand falls onto some loose papers and sets his apartment on fire. He attempts to save the painting, but his ghostly body is unable to touch it. Vincent begs Death to stop this, but Death remarks that the end of his story was written in the book of Destiny long before he was born. As the apartment burns, Vincent asks her to save the painting as his last wish. Morphing into the boy he once was when he was drawing, Vincent recognizes Death as the character of his childhood drawings. He thanks her and Death leads him by hand to the afterlife. Later, after Gotham City Fire Department puts out the fire and Vincent's charred body is carried away, firefighters are surprised to find everything destroyed but the portrait.

Set in the late sixties, Marcie, a young girl who seeks enlightenment, and freedom from her controlling parents, rides in a van along with a group of hippies named Dee Dee, Violet, Harry and Ted to California. The hippies are part of a cult led by a mysterious man named Seth, however, the group is unaware that they are being watched and followed by the Phantom Stranger who states "Not all those who wander are lost. But, many are and once lost, they may truly be lost forever." and arrives at the house not far from Los Angeles once owned by an old timer movie star, now owned by Seth. The group goes inside, but Marcie says she needs a cigarette break and waits outside. As she is having a smoke, Marcie, disgusted by the condition of the property as the lawn hasn't been mowed in weeks and the water fountain in the front yard was filthy and full of dead fish, crosses paths with the Phantom Stranger, who advises her that appearances are not what they seem. Marcie tells him that she believes she and her friends are looking for truth, freedom, spiritual guidance in a world torn apart by war, pollution and lies. The Phantom Stranger tells her that truth lies not at the end of a road but inside those who walk the road. As she joins the others, the Stranger says that she should stay away from what is inside but when she is about to blow him off, he disappears and heads to the front door. Marcie is shocked to see an eye at the doorknob but (believing she is hallucinating) goes in. The hippies are happy to see her and they start drinking wine when Seth appears. He begins a ceremony by magically lighting candles and they have a dance party, smoking marijuana and drinking more wine until Seth performs a ritual marking foreheads of Dee Dee, Violet, Harry and Ted with the wine from his chalice and then starts kissing them. Seth is wearing a serpent pendant around his neck and every time he kisses the hippies, it glows and they all fall to the floor and then he turn to Marcie. Just when he is about to kiss her, Phantom Stranger intervenes. The latter reveals that Seth is a soul-eating vampire and the Ouroboros Pendent he is wearing gives him eternal life and power for a limited period and had been leading unsuspecting victims to their doom for centuries. Seth and Stranger engage in a sword fight and when Stranger has the upper hand over Seth, Marcie knocks him out cold with an Egyptian statute. As Seth feeds off Phantom Stranger's magical aura, Marcie finds her friends as drained husks. Realizing that Phantom Stranger was speaking the truth, she seduces Seth saying he is a "king of ages" but need a "queen". The ruse works long enough for her to grab the pendent and smashed it to pieces. Seth, his without immortality, turns to dust and ash. Phantom Stranger is pleased with the choice that Marcie made. As they leave the house, Stranger asks Marcie what will she do now. Would she keep searching for her truth. She replies the same words he once said "Truth lies not at the end of a road but inside those who walk the road.", and that she would keep traveling until she found it no matter how long or how far it would take, and bring it with her. When the Stranger disappears again, she drives off into the city but he is always looking out for her in the form of a giant silhouette in the night sky.

A young warrior who loved her seeks her; when he gets to the place where she sank down, he sinks also, and follows her trail into the underworld. She is in a terrible state, but he tells her he will put her on his back and take her away. Unlike Orpheus, however, the young man makes no "tragic mistake" and he and Wanjiru leave the underworld alive. He tells her people they treated her "shamefully", and marries her—though he grudgingly pays her bride price.

After a party, a girl wakes up the next day with a slightly different hangover. She was infected with a virus transmitted through her mouth.

Uma Maheshwara Rao is a small-time photographer who lives with his father, Manohar Rao. They run the digital photography Bhavana Studio in the Prakash region of Araku in Andhra Pradesh. Next to the studio is a bone-setting shop owned by Mahesh's good friend, Babji. His assistant is Korra Suhas, who came to Babji, to learn about the study of traditional bone-setting. Mahesh is in a relationship with Swati, his high-school sweetheart.

Babji becomes involved in a trivial argument with a loafer in the centre of the village. The dispute escalates, but passersby calm them down. However, Suhas appears and attacks the man who had argued with Babji. The man, joined by Joginath, jumps on Suhas in retaliation. Noticing the commotion, Mahesh tries to calm everyone down but Jogi, furious at Mahesh's authoritative stance, beats him up. Manohar breaks up the fight. Embarrassed, Mahesh vows to get back at Jogi and pledges that he will wear slippers only after he has avenged his humiliation.

Swati is forced to end her relationship with Mahesh and marry a nurse residing in Canada. He learns about Jogi's whereabouts from Suhas and visits the garage where he apparently works as a welder. Its owner tells him that Jogi left for a better job in Dubai. Despite Babji's advice that he should forget the incident, Mahesh resolves to wait for Jogi's return; several weeks later, he enrolls in a kung fu course.

Jyothi, a young college student, goes to Bhavana Studio. She tells Mahesh that she wants to participate in a women's magazine's cover competition and asks him to make her look as good as possible. Perplexed at the unusual request, Mahesh conducts the photo shoot. Jyothi's photograph turns out to be dull and unimpressive, and her irritation makes Mahesh question his skill as a photographer. Upset, he turns to his father for advice. Manohar explains photography as an art to his son. Mahesh goes through his father's photograph collection, finally understanding their angles and lighting, and gets an idea.

Instead of his familiar still photography, Mahesh photographs Jyothi in motion and sends the best photo to the magazine. Shortly afterward, Jyothi goes to Mahesh's house with the magazine containing her photo. Although she rebukes him for photographing her without permission, she also praises the photo. They become interested in each other, and soon fall in love. Jyothi realises this first, and calls Mahesh to talk about their future. She tells him that she is Jogi's younger sister, but his agitation is overshadowed by love and he decides to continue their relationship.

Several weeks later, Jogi is fired from his job for slapping his manager and is deported back to India. The following day, Mahesh and Babji challenge him to a hand-to-hand combat. After a few minutes of fighting, Mahesh pins down Jogi and Babji declares him the winner. The movie ends with Mahesh visits Jogi in a hospital on the next day and introduces himself to his mother in front of Jyothi. He admits his love for Jyothi and asks Jogi, if he agrees to the relationship. Later in credits it shows that Mahesh and Jyothi are together now.

It is the year 1040 in the town of Coventry, England.[http://archive.org/stream/moviwor09chal#page/n53/mode/2up "Vitagraph Notes"], ''The Moving Picture World'' (New York, N.Y.), July 15, 1911, p. 49. Retrieved June 22, 2020. The local lord, Leofric, has imposed a heavy tax on the residents, many of whom are on the verge of starvation. They appeal for help from the caring noblewoman Lady Godiva, who is the wife of Leofric. On the people's behalf, she pleads with her husband to revoke the tax and relieve their suffering. Leofric, who quickly grows weary of her pleas, decides to test his wife's sincerity and her resolve by promising to rescind the tax if she will ride naked on horseback through the streets of the town. Godiva accepts the condition despite the prospect of such a public humiliation.

Before riding through Coventry, the lady instructs her attendants to post in town a proclamation in which she expresses her love for the people and to end the tax for them she explains, "To save you, I must ride thro' the town unclothed".Direct transcription of text from intertitle in a copy of the original 1911 film. Her proclamation also asks all residents to support her by remaining "within your homes two hours at mid day", shutting all doors and windows, and adding "Let no eye look out." At the appointed time, Lady Godiva slowly rides through the streets, with only her long hair, extending from her head "to her knee", partially covering her bare body. All the townspeople but one dutifully follow their lady's instructions to stay indoors and to avoid observing her as she passes. Only the town's lecherous tailor, Thomas, cannot resist the temptation to see Godiva fully unclothed. Cutting a small hole into a closed shutter at his house, he peeks at her riding by and is instantly struck blind. Forever after known as "Peeping Tom", the tailor for his transgression suffers divine retribution, resulting in his eyes being "shrivell'd into darkness in his head". Lady Godiva, her task now done, returns home, where her husband honors their agreement and promptly announces to a cheering crowd that he is repealing the hated tax.

Memo Garrido lives with his uncle Braulio on a small verdant island in Llanquihue, a small, South Eastern Chilean town. While his life there is peaceful, he is tormented by traumatic memories he had as a child. Being a rather quiet man and talking very little, sparks interests of a local young woman, Marta who seems intrigued by Memo. She tries over some time to approach him and eventually they build a friendship that finally reveals Memo's biggest secret: That he was briefly famous as a singer. Throughout the film, we see Memo acting (when alone) as if he were performing, wearing his crimson glitter-studded cape pretending to be on stage.. this revealing his secret fantasy; that he wished he had made it as a famous singer.

As a kid, Memo lived in Miami - which is why he speaks an accented Spanish - and his father Jacinto who landed him a contract with a music producer decided that although Memo was a talented singer, his appearance was not enough to make him famous. For this reason he makes him a ghost singer for another young boy named Ángelo instead. Ángelo eventually becomes famous for the song ''Nobody Knows I'm Here'', which the studio had originally recorded for Memo. During this period, Memo, angry at Ángelo for this "fraud", attacked him after a performance seriously injuring him resulting in Ángelo's permanent injuries and having to use a wheelchair. The viewer later learns that Ángelo never sang again after his 'accident' and Memo became a recluse living and working on his uncle's farm on the secluded island while his father Jacinto lost all his money promoting his son's ghost singer act.

25 years later and after Marta and a friend posted a candid YouTube video of Memo singing at his home that he was unaware of, leads to her and his father's encouragement to "come out to the public" about who the true singer was. This lands him a spot on the television show "Face to Face" with Ángelo, the ghost singer who is now living as a motivational speaker and promoting his book. The show attempts to reconcile the conflict between the two men.

During the "Face to Face" reunion, Ángelo tells the public it is he who should apologize to Memo but never admits it was Memo singing so after the brief on-stage reunion, Memo leaves the stage angry and after the show goes off air, picks up the mic and sings the subject song live & beautifully, proving that he was the voice all along. However, the film suggests that Memo's truth never came to public light, because the performance was off air, and the viewer even wonders if Memo truly sang the full song—a band suddenly appears and the red-toned light that accompanied Memo's series of fantasies imagining himself as a successful singer. Immediately before he begins to sing, we hear the producer in the background, seemingly asking Ángelo if he actually sings. When the song has finished, Memo drops the microphone and walks out of the studio, and does a little dance move as he exits, perhaps displaying real joy or closure, even if it is only for himself.

Later, we see Marta crawl into bed with Memo and the scene fades out to music with a fine crimson light on them as they warmly spoon together.

Following the events of "Adapt or Die", S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie and Deke Shaw are unexpectedly stranded in 1982 after their mobile headquarters, ''Zephyr One'', unexpectedly jumps through time without them. After losing his parents to the Chronicoms, a despondent Mack purchases a house and spends the next year in isolation while Deke occasionally checks on him. In 1983, Deke manages to convince Mack to come see his band, The Deke Squad, as they perform 1980s songs that have not been written yet, such as "Don't You (Forget About Me)". After their performance, Deke reveals most of his band are actually S.H.I.E.L.D. recruits and that the Phil Coulson LMD survived destroying the Chronicoms' ship by saving his "mind" onto an external hard drive. However, Mack is not impressed by Deke and his recruits, berating the former for his apparent immaturity and belittling the latter within earshot of them before storming off.

Concurrently, having also survived after her "mind" was trapped in the local power grid, Chronicom predictor Sibyl manipulates a lonely programmer into building a crude robotic body for her. Once she is able to, she builds Hunter robots to kill the programmer before using them to attack S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base, the Lighthouse, and retrieve her Time Stream. After Deke's team fail to stop the robots, Mack returns to join the fray after he learns that Deke has been watching over his younger self. Together, the agents manage to destroy the hunter robots, but fail to notice a small one escaping with the Time Stream. Sometime later, Agents Melinda May and Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez arrive and reunite with Mack and Deke before Deke gets May up to speed on what happened. Elsewhere, the robot travels a vast distance before delivering the Time Stream to Nathaniel Malick, who survived 1976 and aligned himself with Sibyl.

Jack Ryan, Jr. takes a vacation in Barcelona, Spain after taking part in a mission with the Campus in South Korea. He runs into his former college classmate Renée Moore in a restaurant, and they briefly catch up. The two agree to meet up later that night, and Jack leaves the restaurant moments before a suicide bomber blows up the place, killing everyone inside. Ryan manages to catch up to his dying friend, who utters the word “Sammler” before succumbing to her wounds.

Jack meets Spanish intelligence (CNI) agent Laia Brossa, who probes him for information on the suicide attack. Brigada Catalan, an activist organization demanding Catalan independence from Spain, had taken responsibility. However, Jack is not convinced, but agrees to help Brossa with the investigation.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Jack Ryan receives reports of commercial vessels disappearing under mysterious circumstances across the Pacific Ocean. They are leased by civilian defense contractor Buck Logan, one of Ryan’s biggest supporters. The incidents are accompanied by a threat from an unknown party demanding ransom. President Ryan suspects Russian involvement, especially in light of the country gearing up for a military exercise with China called Snow Dragon in the Bering Sea.

With the help of Campus IT director Gavin Biery, Jack investigates the circumstances behind Moore’s death, often passing information to Brossa. He finds out about Moore’s involvement with the CIA as well as data scientist Dylan Runtso, whom he had encountered moments before the suicide attack. Runtso had been working on a top secret government program codenamed RAPTURE out of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Jack’s investigation attracts the attention of Guatemalan contract killer Hector Guzman, who has been involved with the bombing at the restaurant. He places him under surveillance through his Russian colleague named Bykov. However, Jack discovers and unsuccessfully tries to capture the Russian for information.

Meanwhile, the CNI gathers information on a Brigada Catalan meeting. Brossa’s supervisor Gaspar Peña then arranges an assault with Guardia Civil. Unbeknownst to her, Bykov sabotages the operation by killing all of the activists present in the meeting, ensuring their silence. Péna is then revealed to be under Guzman’s payroll.

President Ryan pinpoints a Russian submarine to be the source of the disappearances in the Pacific Ocean. He tasks the United States Navy with sniffing the boat into the surface and then escorting it back to Russia. However, another incident occurs in the Indian Ocean, sending the United States government into a state of alert.

Brossa shares information she gathered from Jack to Peña, who then informs Guzman. In turn, he instructs Bykov with eliminating Jack, Brossa, and then Peña to tie up loose ends. Peña dies from being trapped a burning car, while the Russian follows Jack and Brossa during a crowded protest and injects a nerve agent on the latter, killing her in the process. Jack narrowly avoids getting injected and killed, and then he chases Bykov, who dies when they fight. Jack then returns home, his investigation at a premature end.

Guzman is revealed to be responsible for the disappearances of container vessels around the world, using an autonomous underwater vehicle disguised as a tiger shark. He was contracted by a man called Sammler to distract the United States from a bigger operation: siphoning RAPTURE into another program called TRIBULATION, a quantum computer designed to break into highly secure computer systems.

Sammler executes TRIBULATION, stealing five trillion dollars from major banking companies. He threatens President Ryan with covering the losses to prevent another massive theft. The president responds by not publicly revealing the financial losses as they try to figure out solutions. Sammler then orders Guzman killed and the autonomous drone destroyed to tie up loose ends.

Meanwhile, Jack, accompanied by Biery, breaks into Runtso's home near the Oak Ridge facility in Knoxville, Tennessee. They find out that Logan is actually Sammler, and that his next move is to deploy TRIBULATION and hack into Snow Dragon. Jack scrambles to inform his father as he tracks down TRIBULATION’s location to a distribution center nearby. He destroys its power source as an FBI SWAT team arrive on scene.

Logan escapes to Mexico. However, the Campus tracks him down, captures him, and turns him over alive to US SOCOM.

Chief Carlton Lassiter of the Santa Barbara Police Department is ambushed on the job and left for dead. After suffering a stroke on the operating table, Lassiter starts seeing unusual and possibly supernatural occurrences in his recovery clinic. Concerned that his condition makes him an unreliable witness to the truth of what he saw, he reaches out to Shawn and Gus. The pair travel to Santa Barbara from San Francisco to assist Lassiter in his efforts to find his shooter and explain what he has been seeing. What they do not realize is that Juliet O'Hara, Lassiter's former partner at the SBPD, is also investigating.

Juliet is subsequently advised that continuing her investigation without authorization will result in a departmental reprimand in San Francisco. Shawn and Gus discover, much to their chagrin, that they are unwelcome in their old stomping grounds, and make a surprising discovery about their old Psych office. Meanwhile, Chief Vick, still under consideration for a position as police commissioner, puts the job and policies aside when a key piece of information about Lassiter's assailant is found.

When additional supernatural phenomena are observed, it is all hands on deck in a race against the clock to find the responsible individual before he or she can come back to finish Lassiter off. In the process, secrets from the past that will affect the future are divulged, and the investigation results in a few surprising outcomes.

In 1995, Aum Shinrikyo, a Tokyo-based Doomsday cult, conducted the largest terrorist attack in Japan's history. 13 people were killed and 6000 people were injured as a result of Aum's sarin gas attack perpetrated on three crowded Tokyo subway trains during rush hour on the morning of March 20, 1995. Director Atsushi Sakahara was on one of those cars and has suffered lifelong damage to his nervous system and effects of PTSD as a result. Twenty-years later, Atsushi decides to face the cult.

The film starts after a year spent negotiating the terms of their meeting. Atsushi and Araki, the PR agent and current leader and the cult, finally come together in person. The men begin their journey at the organization's facilities in Tokyo; the space consists of a dojo and residence. Renunciates live and work at the minimalist facilities, practicing an ascetic lifestyle which seeks to limit distractions. Their clothing and food are monochromatic and left intentionally bland; the living space small and shared. Portraits of Aum's leader Asahara, who was on death row at the time of shooting and has since been executed, hang in every room. Throughout the tour, Atsushi questions Araki on the cult's practices, demands, and ideologies.

Atsushi and Araki travel by bullet train to Kyoto, then switching, upon arrival, to board a local train to travel to Atsushi's hometown. As the men pass the stop for Araki's grandmother, uncannily close to Atsushi's own hometown, Araki speaks about her, to whom he was very close. It begins to rain and Araki wipes away tears as the train pulls out of his station. Atsushi brings Araki to his country home. The two discuss religion and how to treat religious principles. Aum's apocalyptic obsession and terrorism stemmed from warped interpretations of "legitimate" religions (namely Western mysticism and Indian Buddhism). Araki believes there is finite suffering in the world and if he were to suffer more, someone else would suffer less. "But do you feel responsible for the suffering Aum has caused?" asks Atsushi.

Atsushi asks Araki more about his family and his childhood. We learn that when Araki was born, he was very sickly and his parents spent a lot of time and money taking care of him. "Why do you think they did that?" Atsushi asks. "Out of a sense of duty," Araki replies, then telling Atsushi about his younger brother who was misdiagnosed with cancer while at university. "I felt completely powerless," Araki tells Atsushi: "I was studying humanities at the time. I could not be helpful and I did not understand why it was happening to my brother. When the cult leader Asahara gave a lecture at Kyoto University later that year, I joined. Later I renounced the world and left my family. It was very difficult, especially for my grandmother who was worried about me."

Their journey takes them to their Alma Mater, Kyoto University, where Araki first saw Shoko Asahara speak. It takes them up to Mount Hiei, a place of many Shinto myths, where they talk about the introduction of Buddhism to Japan. It takes them through the town Araki spent his childhood in a makeshift sightseeing tour. The men go on to meet Atsushi's elderly parents at a cafe. Atsushi's father, Takeshi Sakahara, is a direct and serious police retiree; Takeshi questions Araki on his involvement with the cult and describes his experiences as the father of a victim. Takeshi reveals Atsushi's long-ended marriage, of which the audience has yet to learn. Takeshi condemns Aum unequivocally, telling Araki point-blank that the cult's actions and Araki's beliefs are wrong. After the meal, Atsushi and Araki prepare to part ways at the train station. As they say goodbye, Atsushi pulls out a photo. It's an image of his ex-wife who was once involved in the cult. "Did you know her?" Atsushi asks. Araki takes a look at the photo and shakes his head.

In 2001, Atsushi met and married a woman who confessed that she had been a part of Aum and asked him to not mention his relationship to the attack to her parents. "Let's leave this behind us and leave Japan" she had said. At that time, Atsushi had thought, "life happens to me" and accepted this. But her name had been on a paper in the pocket of one of the men on death row connected to the Tokyo Subway attack, and her visa was denied. As Atsushi's PTSD flared up and tensions grew, the marriage fell apart after a year and a half. Atsushi does not know how involved she ultimately was in the cult.

As the anniversary for the attack draws near, Atsushi accompanies Araki for the annual laying of flowers and hopes that their journey has encouraged him to think independently and apologise for the terrorist attack. Araki side-steps the apology, and later Atsushi's questioning.

The cult's guru, Shoko Asahara and six followers were executed on July 6, 2018. The remaining six followers on death row were executed July 26, 2018. Araki is still part of Aum, now calling itself Aleph, which continues to actively recruit members.

Believing her daughter to be Sadako's reincarnation, psychic Hatsuko Sofue prepares to set fire to the padlocked closet where her daughter is confined. Sadako's ghost breaks free from a rock pile concealing a cave on Oshima Island and appears inside Hatsuko's apartment. The little girl suddenly appears outside the closet with Sadako, and Hatsuko collapses in fright as the apartment erupts in flames.

Mayu's supervisor Dr. Minoru Fujii cautions Mayu against getting too friendly with unpredictable patients like Kurahashi. Wandering the streets alone, Hatsuko's daughter collapses after encountering the ghost of a woman who jumped off a bridge to her death. Police bring the girl to the hospital.

Detectives inform Fujii and Mayu about the fire that killed five people, including suspected arsonist Hatsuko, at the apartment building. Detectives add that there is no public record for the little girl, whom Hatsuko raised in secret. The girl explains that her mother called her Sadako, although her real name remains unknown. Mayu sees the girl telekinetically toppling toys while being interviewed. Mayu's dropout brother Kazuma works with web marketing consultant Yusuke Ishida to boost his online presence as an aspiring YouTube personality. Ishida recommends recording a frightening urban experience to excite Kazuma's dwindling audience. Kazuma decides to investigate the apartment building fire.

Meanwhile, another children at the hospital tease the mysterious girl as an outcast due to her unsettling behavior. The girl telekinetically throws a rolling cart at her bullies. The girl collapses after seeing a vision of a dying old man in an elevator. When Mayu consoles her afterward, the girl tells Mayu about being imprisoned in her mother's closet. The girl senses Mayu had a lonely childhood too. The girl collapses after seeing Sadako's ghost reflected on a TV.

Ishida contacts Mayu to report that her brother disappeared following his visit to Hatsuko Sofue's apartment. Mayu watches online video of Kazuma's investigation, which shows talismans covering the interior of the closet where the girl was imprisoned. Kazuma flees in fright when he encounters Sadako's ghost. Mayu pauses on a strange image of skulls underwater. Mayu encounters Ms. Kurahashi in an empty hospital hallway. An altercation ensues when Kurahashi realizes Mayu is afraid of her. Before Kurahashi's anger fully intensifies, the girl entrances her. The girl then collapses. Video of a well suddenly plays on a lobby television. Sadako crawls out of the well, then out of the television, and finally climbs atop Kurahashi. Sadako also grabs Mayu, who faints.

When she recovers, Mayu discovers the girl was taken to ICU in a coma. Kurahashi is readmitted for psychiatric care. Mayu tells Fujii about seeing a ghostly woman with long hair. In a dream, Mayu relives the girl's experience of imprisonment in a closet while her mother accuses her of being Sadako reincarnated. Believing her brother's disappearance is connected, Mayu goes to see Kurahashi demanding to know who Sadako is. Kurahashi recounts the story of Sadako's mother Shizuko Yamamura, a clairvoyant who killed herself following accusations of fraud. Shizuko's daughter Sadako possessed the ability to strike people dead with a thought. Fearful of her power, Sadako's father, Dr. Heihachiro Ikuma, threw the girl down a well to kill her, but created a curse that killed many people.

When Kurahashi grabs her, Mayu sees a vision of Kazuma and Sadako. Kurahashi warns that Mayu's cursed brother cannot be saved. After Mayu leaves, water pools on Kurahashi’s ceiling. Sadako emerges from beneath the bed to kill Kurahashi. While watching another online video of her brother, Mayu sees images of a cave, a baby reflected in an eye, bodies rising from water, a woman falling to her death off a cliff, the submerged skulls seen previously, and also her brother.

Ishida calls to say he watched the strange video too, although he does not know how it was uploaded. Mayu and Ishida meet. Ishida tells Mayu about a cave on Oshima Island in Izu that became a shrine for dead priests until it was rendered off limits by a cave-in. A picture of the shrine shows a talisman like one seen inside the girl's closet. Ishida also mentions an urban legend about a cursed video that once went around the internet. Mayu connects Ishida's notes to Sadako's origin and concludes Sadako was born on Oshima Island.

While taking a ferry to the island, Mayu warns Ishida that circumstances regarding the mysterious little girl's upbringing somehow resurrected Sadako's curse. At the cave, Mayu and Ishida meet an old woman who tells them unwanted babies were left to die inside the shrine and Sadako feeds on their souls. Mayu mentions that she and her brother grew up as orphans and wonders if she and Kazuma were called by Sadako to gather in the cave shrine with other abandoned spirits. Despite warnings about high tide, Mayu and Ishida investigate the cave at night. A ghostly hand pulls Mayu through a rock pile, leaving Ishida outside. Mayu learns Shizuko Yamamura actually abandoned her daughter when she sees a vision of the woman leaving Sadako in the cave as an infant. Sadako survived, which is how she manifested her power.

A vision of the mysterious little girl appears. Writhing bodies rise out of a pool to begin pulling the girl underwater. Mayu embraces the girl, pledges to care for her, and pleads with her to fight back. Back at the hospital at the same time, the little girl comes out of her coma. Mayu sees the skulls and bones underwater as the vision of the girl vanishes. Ishida finally gets into the cave. He and Mayu find Kazuma. As the full moon aligns with a circular opening overhead, Sadako rises to attack Mayu. Kazuma sacrifices himself to rescue his sister. Sadako drowns Kazuma underwater.

Now mentally unstable, Mayu recovers as a patient in her former hospital. Before being discharged, the little girl thanks Mayu for helping her come out of her coma. Left alone afterward, Mayu flinches at the sound of dripping water.

He reveals that he is actually Westley, that the "Dread Pirate Roberts" is a title passed along from one holder to the next, and that he had come after hearing that Buttercup's life is in danger. The two are soon caught by Humperdinck and Count Tyrone Rugen.

Humperdinck returns Buttercup to the castle to prepare for the wedding, claiming that Westley returned to the sea, when in reality, Rugen has taken Westley to be tortured in a secret chamber. When Buttercup refused to show any love for Humperdinck, Humperdinck uses Rugen's torture device to apparently kill Westley. Inigo and Fezzik, having reunited near the castle, hear Westley's final screams, discover his body, and take him to Miracle Max. Max finds Westley clings to life due to his true love for Buttercup and helps resuscitate him. Westley, still half-prone from being nearly dead, devises a plan with Inigo and Fezzik to interrupt the wedding to rescue Buttercup. Inigo, learning that Rugen is his father's killer, gets revenge by killing Rugen after a long fight. Fezzik helps Westley to Buttercup's room. Westley wounds Humperdinck to shame him before he, Buttercup, and Fezzik flee with Inigo. The grandson, who had told the grandfather to skip all the kissing parts in the book before, allows him to read the final kissing scene in the book.

Alain Delambre (Eric Cantona) has been out of work for six years after his company downsized by firing all older employees. He finally receives an interview for the company Exxya. As part of the interview process, he is asked to ask questions as a hostage taker in a role playing game where the executives for Exxya will be held hostage. Alain does not know that the president of the company is using the exercise to figure out which of the executives will be best to handle a volatile situation after Exxya fires at least 2,500 employees at a factory. The executives think that the hostage situation is real. Alain steals money from his pregnant daughter and repeatedly lies to his family to train for the hostage scenario. Just before it is to begin, he is told that the position was already filled and he is only being included to demonstrate a diverse pool of candidates. In anger, Alain decides to make the scenario a real hostage taking.

In a jungle isolated in the African plains, live a group of animals including Munki the bold, adventurous ape, Trunk, the big-hearted elephant, Rocky, the dog-like rhino, Tallbert, the earnest and awkward giraffe, Humph, the grumpy hedgehog who is very protective over his property, Ribbert, the lazy frog, a female ostrich and her three unhatched chicks that always try to escape, and Ray the firefly. One morning, Munki and Trunk wake up to discover that they can speak, which they take advantage of. They learn that the source of them talking is an jello-like, four-legged alien named Fneep, who has come from the planet Scaldron to conquer Earth and has brought some amazing technology with him, including a translation device called a speech pod that lets the animals talk for the first time that Munki tries on the others. The animals make him give in easily and allow themselves to surrender peacefully, making Fneep's conquest a success. They learn from Fneep that his ship crashed near the mountains, and since he's conquered Earth, he can use the homing beacon in his ship that summons the Scaldronians instantly. Munki, Trunk, Rocky, and Humph agree to come with him on the way to Fneep's ship.

While crossing the plains, they meet a group of singing wildebeest, whose leader misbelieves that Fneep may become the new leader due to the fact that he's conquered Earth and tries to keep his position, but Fneep manages to outdo him, and tells him that the herd are great at what they do and that only reason they follow him is that they love what he does. Resolved, the leader allows them to pass. One of the ostrich eggs tries to follow them and is almost run over by a wildebeest stampede, hatching in the process. Once out of the egg, she believes that since she is a bird, she can also fly, and tries to, but to no avail. After witnessing the mother ostrich hugging the baby ostrich, he learns that hugs are for making someone feel better, knowing he/she isn't alone, saying "I love you", and to feel special. They learn from Fneep that the only way for Scaldronians to feel special is to conquer planets, which prove that they're strong and worthy of respect, and that he's a terrible conqueror due to not conquering any planets until now. Munki, Trunk, and Rocky tell that it doesn't matter if he hasn't conquered any planets and try to give him hugs, but he refuses.

Meanwhile, Humph, who had gone farther than the others, finds Fneep's ship and accidentally jumpstarts the ship by making a hole in the hull after ramming it several times and touches the exposed wire with his tongue after being lured by the spark's bright light, which electrocutes him and elongates his spikes. He learns from a hologram from Fneep's father, Captain Grogon, that Fneep's next step in conquering Earth is to capture all the Earth creatures and imprison them in the Scaldronian museum, the Great Hall Of Conquest, and sets off to rejoin and warn the others. Later that night, Fneep goes to the ship all by himself and after getting back into his ship, a long 60-step reading of the Planet Conquering Manual of how to activate the homing beacon, which is fact, just a simple red button for just 60 steps, pushes the beacon, and Grogon's ship arrives instantly above him.

Despite Humph's pleas and the fact that they're out of the translator's range meaning they can't understand him, the gang eventually reach Fneep's impact site, where he's greeted by Grogon and learn that Fneep lied about conquering Earth. Grogon takes advantage of this to get his 1000th victory, but he stops him by lying that the animals are invincible and unstoppable, making the gang safe for now. Fneep is forced to leave Earth and conquer another one instead, but Munki, Trunk, Rocky, and Humph, refusing to believe what Fneep said, sneak aboard on one of the transporters and tell that Fneep still actually conquered the planet, but they learn from Grogon that the only way to show that the planet is conquered is by using a constellation-creating device into the sky and tries to use his own, but Munki stops him and tries to buy time while Trunk, who fell to the ground with Fneep's star after blasting a hole in the ship with Grogon's gun, which is later blocked by a piece, assigns the baby ostrich to get Fneep's star on board the ship by manually using her trunk to make her fly.

However, after a long battle, Grogon overpowers them all, prevents Fneep from using his star by restraining him and shoots his star into the sky, but Fneep proclaims even though his star's in the sky, he hasn't conquered the animals yet due to their "secret weapon", which is, in fact, hugs, which he uses to confront his dad, and makes him and himself to turn orange, filling him with happiness and joy. After this, they try to do this to the other Scaldronians, which results in the ship about to crash, but the baby ostrich takes control and saves everyone. Eventually, all the other Scaldronians are all effected by the hugs, and Grogon declaims the earth and allows Fneep to claim it. Grogon and Fneep plan to return home to use the hugs on every Scaldronian and repay the group by giving them the speech pods, some of the Scaldronian tech, and a load of giant bananas for Munki to satisfy his hunger.

In the post-credits scenes, Grogon discovers that Ribbert has eaten his gun after eating Fneep's, Tallbert is seen talking in Shona language with the translation device Trunk and the mama ostrich use on him, and Munki, in a protective suit made of vines, finally manages to give Humph a hug.

A mackerel from the ocean is placed in the fish tank of a seafood restaurant in a Korean fishing village. She is driven to escape after witnessing another mackerel being prepared as food. Her tank is co-inhabited by a group of farm fish consisting of a striped beakfish named Bream, a snapper named Nollaemi, a sleepy sea bass named Bar, a saltwater eel named Jooldom and the youthful greenling named Spotty. They are ruled by an old flatfish, whom they refer to as "The Master", who hides underneath a grate and instructs the tank's fish to prolong their survival by playing dead when humans approach the restaurant. The fish derive sustenance from dead and dying fish that are periodically dropped into their tank. After witnessing the mackerel leap out of the tank in an unsuccessful escape attempt, the shocked farm fish christen her with the nickname "Padak Padak" (or "Flappy"). Each night, the Master, who falsely claims to also be from the ocean, gives riddles to the farm fish loosely based on stories of the ocean told to him by a mate who had been eaten before him.

Following a violent confrontation between Flappy and the Master, Jooldom grants Flappy permission to provide the night's riddle. Flappy uses the opportunity to encourage the group to ponder a means of escape. Bar proposes that the king crabs in the tank below theirs are able to break the glass walls, and can be convinced to do so by Flappy, who can speak their language. The night's meeting ends with Flappy being beaten by the group after she questions the Master's authority. The next day, as the restaurant's tanks are being cleaned, Flappy and Spotty make another unsuccessful escape attempt, in which Flappy abandons her own effort when Spotty's progress is impeded. That night, Flappy, in spite of her hunger and out of stubborn pride against the Master, declines to join in devouring a dying halibut, who mocks the Master's cowardice before his death. Flappy leaps into the king crab tank, where she is nearly killed until a young boy mischievously scoops her out of the tank and places her in the restaurant's aquarium. The starved Flappy devours all but one of the aquarium's clownfish before injuring herself on a knight decoration's sword and losing consciousness.

Spotty's own attempt to speak to the king crabs in their tank results in his death, and his body is placed in the farm fish's tank. As the Master suddenly defends Spotty's body from being devoured by Jooldom, Flappy is returned to the tank as well, and she attacks the Master after seeing him over Spotty's mutilated corpse, thinking he was the one who killed him. Their struggle is cut short when the Master is scooped by the restaurant chef and placed on his counter. As the chef prepares other dishes, the Master witnesses the happenings within the restaurant and begins fearing for his life, only to be spared when the customer changes his order to mackerel. When the Master is returned to the tank, Flappy apologizes to him for her misunderstanding and encourages him to move forward before she is taken and served ''ikizukuri''-style. The next morning, the Master makes his own leap outside the tank, and with the aid of the sword fragment that had been embedded into Flappy, he escapes the chef's clutch and successfully reaches the sea as the rest of the fish watch from the tank.

Based on the events of Schmeiser Vs. Monsanto, Percy Schmeiser was a Saskatchewan canola farmer that received a legal action from Monsanto. It has been determined that Percy's fields contained Monsanto's Roundup resistant crops and accused of intellectual property theft. He unknowingly planted seeds that belonged to Monsanto during 1997; Monsanto wants all his seeds and profits he made with his work the following year. Percy was a seed saver and didn't use Monsanto's seeds, but he had neighbors that did and believe this was a case of contamination. Getting legal help from local lawyer Jackson Weaver, it was a losing battle as the laws favor Monsanto.

Percy's life begins to suffer under the weight of Monsanto. He and his family have become the community's pariah and his debts are mounting. Rebecca Salcau, a representative of the People's Environmental Protect (PEP) offered to help, but it would mean Percy would have to publicly speak against Monsanto to gain media attention and earn revenue to fund his fight. Initially resistant in making this into a public spectacle, Percy was enraged how Monsanto's men have been following him and destroying his reputation by labeling him a thief. Fired up, Percy began engaging in public speaking events against Monsanto.

Percy's public speaking and media exposure began to take a life of its own. People throughout the world began offering donations and letters of support. As the fight against Monsanto continues, Percy realizes his situation isn't unique and a global concern. While speaking at India, Percy learned the devastating effect that agribusiness had caused, especially farmers committing suicide over severe debt and ruined lives. When he got back home, his wife has been hospitalized from a broken arm and it seems they're slated to lose again.

Jackson doesn't believe they'll win, but was obligated to advise Percy can still appeal to the supreme court. Rebecca's own people can't financially support Percy anymore and withdrew their support. Percy was ready to admit defeat, but with the encouragement of his wife, he decided to appeal to the supreme court. When Jackson learned about Percy's decision to fight, Jackson offered his letter of resignation; Percy ripped it up and they went straight to work. Ultimately, the supreme court determined Percy can keep his farm, but would have to give up all his Roundup Ready seeds to Monsanto. With his home saved, the town now sees Percy in a better light and he returned Monsanto their property to end this chapter. Rebecca came to tell Percy that his fight with Monsanto convinced Canadian farmers to not grow Monsanto's GMO wheat and US farmers followed suit, halting Monsanto's hold on wheat production. Percy would resume his farmer's life, getting ready for the next season and his granddaughter excited to take it over one day.

''Bravely Default II'' is set in a new world from prior games, on a continent named Excillant divided into five different kingdoms. The game follows four main characters; a mysterious young sailor named Seth, a refugee princess named Gloria, a traveling scholar named Elvis, and a mercenary named Adelle. The party sets off across the continent to retrieve the crystals of the four elements. These crystals were stolen from Gloria's destroyed homeland of Musa. Meanwhile, Elvis is trying to decipher an ancient book that cannot be read under normal circumstances, but occasionally reveals secrets of the past when it comes into contact with an Asterisk, which are powerful magical gems that grant knowledge and power. The book also doubles as the system the player uses to save their progress.

During their travels, the four become this age's Heroes of Light, fighting to prevent the misuse of the crystals by warriors of the Kingdom of Holograd, its leader Adam, and his advisor Edna. Periodically throughout the world's history, an ancient evil called the Night's Nexus must be sealed away, and the crystals choose four warriors to do so. Seth is chosen by the Wind Crystal, Gloria by the Water Crystal, Elvis by the Earth Crystal, and Adelle by the Fire Crystal. As the adventure continues, Adelle reveals that she is actually a fairy and that Edna is her sister. Edna now hates humans and is trying to summon the Night's Nexus to destroy them all. Edna is also the one who stole the Asterisks from the realm of the fairies to distribute to Holograd's forces, used them to empower Holograd's forces to seize the crystals through conquest or influence, and let humans drain the crystals' power on frivolous matters rather than their true purpose of suppressing the Nexus.

The four main characters, after having collected all the four crystals, battle and defeat Edna. Gloria sacrifices her life to empower the crystals again and seal the Night's Nexus away, continuing the cycle of previous Heroes of Light. While the end credits are displayed, this is a "bad ending", and the player is expected to continue onward. Upon the player deciding to continue, Gloria's sacrifice is shown to be merely a vision of a possible future which the group witnesses within Elvis's mysterious book. While Gloria is fine sacrificing herself to save the world, Seth vows to find another way to destroy the Night's Nexus. Allowing it to awaken in Excillant and attacking it, however, only leads to another "bad ending" as the Night's Nexus continually regenerates itself despite the party's best efforts. After scouring the world for every Asterisk, the four learn that the book contains the memories of the Night's Nexus and that the Night's Nexus was once a human woman who attempted to consume all information in the world and went insane. As long as the book remains intact, the Night's Nexus can never be permanently destroyed. The player is able to wipe away the Night's Nexus's "save data" within the book, allowing for her to be truly defeated. The party travels across the ocean separating dimensions to the Nexus's lair and the four emerge victorious, defeating the Nexus completely.

While patrolling an ocean trench, the World Security Patrol (WSP) submarine ''Sea Probe'' is torpedoed and destroyed by a vessel resembling a mechanical fish. The WSP orders its marine branch, the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP), to investigate. At Marineville, the WASP's headquarters on the West Coast of North America, Commander Shore (voiced by Ray Barrett) assigns Captain Troy Tempest and navigator Lieutenant "Phones" (voiced by Don Mason and Robert Easton) to the mission.

Troy and Phones depart in ''Stingray'', the WASP's flagship submarine, and proceed to ''Sea Probe'' s last known position.

X-2-Zero informs Titan of ''Stingray'' s approach.

On reaching the trench, ''Stingray'' is attacked by one of Titan's Mechanical Fish. Troy and Phones are captured by its crew of Aquaphibians – Titan's soldiers – and brought to Titanica. Troy is taken to Titan's throne room, where Titan tells him that their fate will be decided by Teufel, a captive fish that Titan worships as a god. Teufel turns his back on Troy, leading Titan to declare Troy and Phones enemies of Titanica and sentence them to death. On land, ''Stingray'' is presumed lost and Marineville prepares to retaliate by bombarding the trench with hydromic missiles.

Escorted by Marina, Titan's mute slave-girl, Troy and Phones are placed on board a Mechanical Fish for the journey to their execution site.

Wallace is a gay, Black student from a small town in Alabama who is enrolled in a PhD program in biochemistry at a predominantly White university in a Midwestern town. He is the first Black student admitted to the program in decades and is considering dropping out. The narrative starts shortly after one of Wallace's experiments (involving the culturing of nematodes) has gone wrong, and he suspects one of his fellow students of having sabotaged it. The novel takes place over the course of a weekend, which alternates between gatherings with his (White) friends, moments of solitude, a session in his lab, and a number of steamy encounters with his friend Miller. Further events from his past are narrated through flashbacks, and they include the death of Wallace's father a few weeks before the start of the novel, his absence at the funeral, his difficult relationship with his mother, the sexual abuse suffered at the hands of a family friend. Part of the recent trauma for Wallace is an experiment most likely ruined for him by a fellow White student, and when early in the novel Wallace is confronted with the likely sabotage of his nematodes experiment, he does not even try to make the case for foul play to his supervisor.

Wallace has sexual encounters with a fellow student called Miller, a young man who claims to be straight and initiates the affair, and throughout the narrative Wallace is trying to come to terms with his own mixed feelings. After their first night together, for instance, Wallace leaves without saying goodbye, and later struggles with his inability to see Miller as a human being who also deserves consideration and sympathy.

That Wallace is the only Black person in the program and one of only a few in the community is the cause of a few poignant scenes in the novel: being mistaken for a drug dealer at a campus store, attending a fundraising party for wealthy White patrons who in quiet voices discuss the changing demographics of the program, a visit to another student's house for a party, where at the door he is asked whether he is lost, a French fellow student who suggests to him he should be grateful to have a place in the program, since, he says, Black people should cherish and be grateful for the opportunities given to them. But Wallace also struggles to recognize when others have such experiences, such as those of an Asian-American fellow student, whom he dismisses as he dismissed Miller—and then scolds himself for it.

By 2024, the COVID-19 has been mutated into COVID-23 and the world is in its fourth Quarantine year.

Nico Price, a motorbike courier with immunity, due to the fact he was infected with the virus, is in a virtual relationship with Sara Garcia, a young artist living with her grandmother Lita whose lockdown prohibits them from physical contact. Nico works for Lester, who specializes in delivering packages to wealthy individuals. One of their biggest clients is the Griffins, Piper and William, whose daughter Emma has an auto-immune disorder. William is a former record executive having sex with May, a singer who makes a living online selling covers of classic songs. May develops a bond with Michael Dozer, a disabled war veteran who works for Lester as a drone operator to keep track of their couriers.

One night, Lita begins to show symptoms of COVID-23 while the "sanitation" department, led by Emmett Harland, is forcing Sara's neighbor Alice out of her apartment after she becomes infected. Harland warns Sara that their apartment building has seen a rise in infections. He has also killed one of the infected individuals who escaped from the nearby Q-zone with a pocket knife. Sara informs Nico about Lita's condition, leading Nico to spend the night by Sara's apartment door. In the morning, Sara passes her temperature check, but Lita fails hers. Nico promises to keep Sara from being taken.

When he goes to their house, the Griffins give Nico the phone number of their supposed supplier. Nico ends up meeting with Harland at a warehouse, revealing it to be a trap which Nico escapes.

As Sara is waiting for Nico, Lita dies. The "sanitation" department arrives to bag Lita and detain Sara. Sara knocks out one of the members and takes his hazmat suit before escaping the building. Harland and his team ultimately catch up to Sara, where he notes that Sara has yet to show symptoms of COVID-23 despite her exposure and is therefore immune. Sara is detained shortly afterwards.

William demands to see May again, but May continually refuses, claiming she recorded him offering her an illegal immunity wristband. Piper overhears William's phone call with May and kicks him out of the house. William leaves to silence May, which Piper calls her to warn her about. May asks Dozer if she can stay with him, which he agrees. When trying to leave, May's car won't start. William arrives and tries to kill May, but Dozer uses a weaponized drone to kill William and save May.

Nico returns to the Griffins and confronts Piper, who says she was concerned Nico was trying to expose their illegal business. When Nico says he's only interested in saving Sara, Piper finally agrees to help and gives him a wristband for Sara. Nico returns to Sara's apartment to find Harland, who tries to attack Nico but is ultimately killed by Nico in self-defense. Nico finds Sara's cell phone with a picture of the containment van and its tail number. With Lester and Dozer's help, Nico races to the Q-Zone before Sara can be taken in and is able to slip her immunity bracelet on her in time to be scanned, saving her from quarantine. As they embrace for the first time, Sara tells Nico she is truly immune.

In the aftermath, Piper and May frame William and Harland as those responsible behind the sale of illegal immunity wristbands. May and Dozer begin a virtual relationship. Nico sends Lester his own immunity bracelet as thanks while he and Sara ride up the Pacific Coast Highway.

Following the events of "After, Before", the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents become trapped in a time vortex and a time loop. Being the only ones who can still remember everything that has happened throughout the multiple loops, Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson attempt to figure out how to save everyone while ensuring the former does not die at the risk of losing her memories. Johnson and Coulson learn that Jemma Simmons' memories are suppressed by a brain implant designed to prevent her from remembering Leo Fitz's location. When Johnson attempts to remove the implant, she and Simmons are killed by a gas leak caused by a saboteur.

After Coulson brings Johnson up to speed in the next time loop, the pair try to remove Simmons' implant again. However, Johnson deduces someone tampered with the surgical instrument used for the procedure. Daniel Sousa volunteers to test if the device has been booby-trapped to prevent Johnson's memories from being erased and ends up poisoned. In the next loop, Johnson confronts Sousa, whom she always finds sleeping next to her healing chamber. Sousa admits he is attracted to strong women and sees himself as someone who can help them up when they are down. In the following loop, Johnson kisses Sousa. Meanwhile, Coulson deduces that the saboteur is the team's Chronicom ally Enoch, who has been unwittingly programmed to prevent the brain implant's removal at all costs. After several unsuccessful attempts, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents subdue Enoch and remove Simmons' implant, causing her to instantly remember that Enoch's electrochron displacement mechanism can repair the time drive before collapsing into tears.

In the final loop before they collapse into the vortex, the team approach Enoch, who willingly gives up the mechanism despite knowing it will kill him. As he dies, he reflects that he did not understand friendship or loneliness before joining the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and tells Johnson and Coulson that this will be their final mission as a team. The time drive is repaired, and the agents escape the vortex. Concurrently, having taken over Afterlife in the 1980s, Nathaniel Malick helps the Inhuman Kora control her powers.

Latte, an orphaned hedgehog, is a social outcast in a small forest community of woodland creatures. Her only friend, a red squirrel named Tjum, is convinced that Latte is a princess after she lies that her father was the king of a faraway kingdom. A recent drought forces the community to conserve water more carefully than usual, storing what little they can find in pumpkins. An emergency council meeting is called, during which an elderly crow insists that the drought was caused by the theft of a magic waterstone, and that for the water to return, someone must steal the waterstone back from King Bantur, who took it. While the town is unconvinced, Latte takes it upon herself to retrieve the waterstone and return it to the White Mountains.

Latte encounters a beaver building a dam on the dry river banks, who points her in the right direction. Tjum's younger sister convinces him to find and accompany Latte to keep her safe on the journey. Tjum follows Latte in an attempt to change her mind, but Latte is determined. The pair are attacked by a lynx but are saved by the beaver, who renders the lynx unconscious with a heavy log. Despite the danger, Latte still refuses to return home without completing her mission. On the first night, the pair meet Greta, a poison dart frog, who lets them stay in her cave. Greta gives Latte and Tjum food and water, and tells them about the waterstone, whose existence Tjum is still skeptical of.

In the morning, Greta gives Tjum a bag of waterberries that can quell one's thirst, and tells him to ration them carefully. Greta warns the pair about a pack of wolves that are also after the waterstone. Not long after, Latte and Tjum are cornered by the wolves, led by Lupo, but the wolves let them go when Latte reveals her mission. On the second night, Latte begs Tjum for a waterberry, and Tjum relents after losing a game of cups and balls. Latte reveals that she is not truly a princess, but Tjum is unsurprised, and supportive. The next morning, Tjum tells Latte that he's going to return to the community, and insists that she should come with him, but Latte still refuses to go back without the waterstone. The two argue over who should take the waterberries, and accidentally destroy them in the process. Angered, the two go their separate ways.

Tjum feels remorseful and tries to return to Latte, but gets lost and stumbles into bear territory. He meets Amaroo, a young bear cub willing to help him sneak into the bear cave. Amaroo reveals that he is the prince of the bears, his father being King Bantur, the bear who allegedly stole the waterstone from the White Mountains. Tjum decides he needs to tell Latte, but when Amaroo tries to sneak him back out of the cave, they are stopped by the guards and Tjum is captured. Meanwhile, Latte tries to find another way into the cave. She meets an elderly, antisocial hedgehog who tells her that she is destined to die alone, as all hedgehogs do. Latte is upset, but still determined to bring the waterstone back. While attempting to sneak into the cave through a river, Latte is captured by the guards and taken to a cell, where she reunites with Tjum.

Latte and Tjum are brought to King Bantur, who admits to stealing the waterstone, but is unconcerned with the drought this theft has caused for the rest of the forest. While King Bantur is distracted with the other bears, Latte and Tjum steal the waterstone from the rock it's wedged in, and escape the bear cave through a river. As they are running back to the White Mountains, they are ambushed by Lupo, King Bantur, and the lynx. Tjum manages to distract them while Latte returns the stone. The resulting flood washes all three away. Latte and Tjum are picked up by the elderly crow and taken back to the community, where water has been restored. Tjum's father offers to adopt Latte into their family to offer her the family she never had, which she accepts.

Meanwhile, John goes on a date with Marci Jensen who, to his surprise, is very interested in him. A news report the next morning reveals Clayton's mayor as the next victim.

This encounter contradicts the profile John and Marci made for the killer. After spending plenty of time together, the two grow closer, with John feeling surprised that she still wants to be his friend after learning about his sociopathy. The next morning, John's neighbor Brooke comes over and tells him that Marci's best friend has died by suicide. She, too, slit her wrists, which leads John to suspect that the three girls were actually murdered by a second demon. He sets a trap for the Handyman, who he now has realized is separate from Nobody, and is successful. While he was expecting to find a demon, he finds a demon killer; John sees his future self in this man, but instead of killing him, calls the police. The Handyman shoots himself.

The next morning, Marci is found dead, the same way the other three girls were killed. The demon, Nobody, had been moving body to body, girl to girl. Her next victim is Brooke. John tries to kill her, but Nobody tries to possess him. Suddenly, John's mom intervenes, convincing the demon to possess her instead and sacrificing herself in order to save her son. After Brooke and John wake up in the hospital, an FBI agent reveals she knows about the demons, and his mother's death proves to John that he has a heart.

On November 14, 1957, over 100 of the most notorious organized crime figures from all over the world held a historic meeting in the small town of Apalachin, New York.

The meeting was ordered by Vito Genovese, who at the time successfully eliminated two of his biggest rivals; Frank Costello and Albert Anastasia. Genovese, who was the current boss of the Luciano crime family decided to consolidate power and announce to the underworld  that it was his time to be Capo Dei Capi; The boss of bosses.

In the sleepy upstate New York town of Apalachin, Sgt. Edgar Croswell, a 40 year old divorced state trooper who lived in the police station began noticing strange and unusual activity in his little town. A semi-retired mobster named Joseph Barbara, known as "Joe the Barber had recently bought a nearby Ginger Ale bottling plant as well as a 53 acre estate just outside of town, and Vito Genovese decided to hold the historical summit at the Barbara Estate.

Sgt. Croswell tried to alert local law enforcement and even the FBI, but his warnings fell onto deaf ears. At the time, The FBI was so focused on fighting communism the Long-time FBI director J. Edgar Hoover refused publicly accept the existence of a "National Crime Syndicate" and the need to address organized crime in America.

Despite constant push back, Sgt. Croswell refused to back down and began investigating Joe the Barber, and his businesses in town. After stumbling on a major clue that Joe the Barber had not only purchased every piece of meat and fish in town, he also realized the every single motel room in town was booked

Without any back up, Croswell and handful of local police officers busted the meeting and arrested 58 of the most notorious mafia figures.

Although all the arrests were eventually overturned, Sgt. Edgar Croswell single handedly forced the FBI to publicly acknowledge the existence of an organized crime syndicate in America, which led to J,. Edgar Hoover creating an Organized crime task force.

This also led to the creation of the RICO ('''Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations)''' act which law enforcement agencies currently use fight organized crime.

The protagonist Mary Hatherley, M.B., an explorer and geographer, travels through the desert somewhere in Asia Minor. A kick from a camel sends her into another plane of existence, which seems to exist in a time before Christ.

Mary is rescued by a group of fair, clean-shaven people wearing robes and escorted back to their kingdom, known as Armeria. It is a slave-owning monarchy ruled over by Queen Beatrice the Sixteenth. The Armerians live in luxurious palaces and fight with darts, javelins and swords; despite their fighting abilities, the natives are familiar with both agriculture and government.

There are two classes of people, free and slave; slaves can apply to change households if they wish. They follow a strict vegetarian diet, having ceased to slaughter animals for over a thousand years. Life partnerships are known as a "conjux" and divorce is unknown; relationships appear to be based on love and companionship, rather than sex. The Armerians are unable to reproduce, so infants are purchased from a neighbouring tribe.

The Armerian language is a combination of Latin and Greek, which Mary is familiar with and contains no gendered nouns. Mary is soon able to understand and communicate with them and is drawn to Ilex, one of the leading figures in the kingdom.

Mary uncovers a plot to dethrone Queen Beatrice in favor of the queen of Uras, a neighbouring kingdom. This results in the dismissal of the perpetrators and a war with the kingdom of Uras, in which Mary aids the people of Armerias and they eventually win.

After the war, Mary is offered a way to return home by the court astrologer, but decides to remain and form a conjux with Ilex. Mary uses the astrologer's help to send a manuscript to a friend in Scotland in our world, who arranges for it to be published by Irene Clyde.

At one point, Seiichi's cousin, Shigeru, jokingly pushes Seiichi near a cliff edge, leading Seiko to quickly grab hold of Seiichi, protecting him from falling. The rest of the family starts laughing at Seiko over her "overprotective" act. A while later, Seiichi and Shigeru go to a higher cliff edge, and when Shigeru is on the cliff edge, Seiko, who was following them, approaches her nephew and pushes him off the cliff, giving a brief smile to her son. After the incident, where Shigeru is left in a comatose state and Seiichi was the only witness of what happened, he begins to discover how dangerous his mother's affection can become, and what follows is a series of events in which Seiichi's everyday life becomes a horror living under the disturbing protection of his own mother.

Bob, a lascivious middle-aged man, arrives in San Francisco and begins a string of serial killings, targeting young women. The first is Diane, whom he meets at a bar. When she rejects him, he breaks into her house and shoots her and her boyfriend Barry to death. A short time later, a second victim's corpse is found floating in the San Francisco Bay. Detective Michael Courtland begins investigating the series of killings, which he suspects are related. Obsessed with solving the case, Michael decides to postpone his impending marriage to his fiancée, Jennifer, by two weeks.

Jennifer is invited to stay with Michael's wheelchair-bound mother in the interim at her spacious mansion outside the city. Jennifer is apprehensive initially, but takes the opportunity to get to know Mrs. Courtland better. Unbeknownst to them, Bob has been casing the home. On Jennifer's first night there, he breaks in and watches her sleep before entering Mrs. Courtland's room. Mrs. Courtland awakens Jennifer, screaming, claiming someone was in her room. Jennifer dismisses this as a nightmare given that Mrs. Courtland had suffered a break-in some years prior. A paranoid Mrs. Courtland calls the police, but they find no evidence of a trespasser. It soon becomes clear to Jennifer that Mrs. Courtland is obsessive about protecting her home, compulsively checking that all doors and windows are locked.

In the morning, the housekeeper Helen arrives on the property, and is stabbed to death by Bob moments after entering the house. While Jennifer takes the car to run errands, Mrs. Courtland is attacked by Bob, who threatens her with a pistol. Mrs. Courtland slashes his wrist with a butcher knife, causing him to drop the pistol in her lap. Armed with the gun, she barricades herself in the study and fires the gun at him through the door. She attempts to call police from another room, but Bob leaves the entryway phone off the hook, preventing her from doing so.

Jennifer returns at nightfall to find a disheveled Mrs. Courtland, and dismisses her claim of being attacked. Bob appears at the front door, and a surprised Jennifer goes to greet him—he is her father. When she asks why he is there, he says he has arrived for her wedding, which she explains has been postponed. A shocked Mrs. Courtland claims Bob is the man who tried to attack her, but Bob assures Jennifer it was a mere misunderstanding, and that Mrs. Courtland wrongly assumed him an intruder. Jennifer offers her father dinner, during which he vaguely tells her he is "in trouble." Meanwhile, Mrs. Courtland phones the police from upstairs, but they dismiss her claim.

Jennifer becomes suspicious of her father when she notices that a kitchen window has been shattered, corroborating the story Mrs. Courtland told her. Bob lays out a series of photographs on the table of young women—each his victims—before revealing a forensic police sketch of him made by law enforcement. Revealing himself as the serial killer Michael is after, Bob pleads for Jennifer to help him evade authorities. He grows enraged when she attempts to call Michael, and violently drags Jennifer out of the house, but is stopped by Mrs. Courtland, who shoots him in the shoulder with a shotgun. Injured but still alive, Bob disables electricity to the house, and begins stalking Jennifer and Mrs. Courtland in the dark. Jennifer attempts to start the car in the garage, but finds it dismantled.

Upon returning inside, Jennifer finds her father with Mrs. Courtland, having overpowered her. While holding Jennifer at gunpoint, he is stabbed in the leg by Mrs. Courtland. Jennifer attempts to flee upstairs with Mrs. Courtland, pulling her up the staircase while fighting Bob off. Bogartis, a local officer summoned to the home by Michael, who received a panicked call from his mother, is hacked to death by Bob outside with an axe. Cornered in an upstairs room, Mrs. Courtland pleads with Jennifer to help her kill Bob, who forces his way in with an axe. As more police arrive, Bob begins strangling Mrs. Courtland, despite Jennifer threatening to shoot him. Just before he is able to kill Mrs. Courtland, police enter and fatally shoot Bob to death.

In 1962, the JSDF kills a mother kaiju, Notzilla, despite the protestations of paleontologist Dr. Itchihiro "Hiro" Honda, who believes he can restore her to her normal, smaller size. He rescues her egg, and takes it to Ohio, but accidentally flushes it down the jet-powered airplane toilet. Ejected from the plane, it falls into the Ohio River. The scientists of Cincinnati's Secret Nuclear Underground Government Installation (SNUGI) convene, conducted by SNUGI's head, Dr. Richard Blowheart. After another nuclear reactor test ends in an explosion, Richard and his assistant Dr. Shirley Yujest spot the Notzilla egg in the river, and Richard takes it. It's explained that when the species "Notzillasaurus Partiontildon" consumes alcohol it grows to abnormal proportions. Later that day the Notzilla hatches, and immediately begins dinking all of Richard's beer.

Notzilla continues to grow, and escapes. Hiro wants to save the monster, while Richard wants to exterminate him. The SNUGI scientists search for him in their research vessel the Pseudoscientifica. When the now-immense Notzilla surfaces, a stowaway, Bobby, believing Notzilla has killed his grandfather, leaps onto his back with a handgun. Upon learning his grandfather is still alive, Bobby throws the handgun onto the deck. The sound startles Notzilla, who rushes away.

Hiro admits he was responsible for Notzilla coming to America. Richard contacts The Pentagon for help in destroying Notzilla, but as most of the armed forces are preoccupied with the Cuban Missile Crisis, he can only reach Frigidair General Dirk Bogus, “head of military refrigeration for all of Southwestern Ohio.” Rockets, shells, and missiles have no effect on Notzilla, who knocks over vehicles and soldiers "as if they were nothing but toys!" A squadron of fighter jets arrives, but Notzilla grabs and cuts the wires they are hanging from. Planning to follow the monster to Cincinnati, Bogus asks Richard if SNUGI happens to have any super-secret weapons lying around, prompting Richard to unveil his Super-Secret Uber-Fission Mega Blaster.

Hiro confronts Richard, who mentions that, as a side effect, his weapon will irradiate Cincinnati for the next 50 years. Hiro, who has a black belt in haiku, immobilizes Richard by reciting profoundly beautiful poetry. Shirley shares with Hiro her theory of "warm fusion," which potentially holds the key to returning Notzilla to his normal size.

Notzilla menaces a train by peeling the "passengers" off its backlit windows, while Hiro joins forces with local brewmeister Fritz Übertrinker, using Shirley's warm fusion to develop an "anti-beer" formula. Despite the danger to Cincinnati, Richard rallies his colleagues to help him build his Mega-Blaster. Bogus faces Notzilla again, but fails. As the two teams of scientists continue their work, Bogus sets another ineffective trap for the monster with high-tension wires; with a blimp tucked under his arm, the monster runs a "touchdown" under the wires. Notzilla then makes his way through the streets of Cincinnati, emitting fiery burps. He picks up Shirley, but she manages to communicate with him, directing him to put out the fires he's set (unfortunately, he does so with a spray of urine). Then setting her down, he leaves the city.

Shirley returns to SNUGI and reveals Richard's secret: he's not a real scientist, but former child movie star Donnie Draper. This delights Dr. Butay, but horrifies the other physicists. Shirley encourages them to sabotage the Mega-Blaster. Richard/Donnie unveils the weapon at Big Finale Ridge and Dr. Butay aims it toward the city, but it shorts-out (sabotaged by the other scientists). Notzilla arrives and presents Shirley with a bouquet of trees. Hiro shows up in a flatbed truck, with the anti-beer formula stored inside an enormous beer can. Drinking it, Notzilla is reduced to his natural size, to the delight of nearly all.  Dr. Butay, however, unveils a super-secret alternative power switch. As Richard/Donnie reaches to push the button, the rest of the cast leaps in front of the monster, declaring (a la Spartacus) that they too are Notzilla. Hiro rams the beer can with the truck, knocking it into the death-ray's path, causing it to spray the formula onto Butay and Richard/Donnie. As a result, both shrink to the size of dolls. 4-Star General Specific arrives, tipped off by ace reporter Pearl Stringer. Gen. Specific appoints Shirley as the new head of SNUGI, and Hiro as director of the Pentagon's nascent Giant Monster Protection Program, tasked with protecting the world from "sequels!"

In the aftermath, Shirley and Hiro adopt Notzilla, who carries around Dr. Butay and Donnie in a toy car. Hiro asks Shirley about adopting more kids, just as three new Notzilla eggs float ashore.

A news report on the band "Boyz 4 Now" shows that they are having auditions for a fourth member after a new album sells poorly. While Tina Belcher is taking napkins out of the car, she bumps into Damon, a boy going to the tryouts, and says it is love at first sight.

When she makes it to Damon, she starts fantasizing about his friend, then realizes that she does not love Damon because of all the boys she fantasized about. She is caught by security, and when watching the band reveal the new member after her family comes to pick her up, it is revealed that the "new" member is Boo Boo after his attempt of being a solo singer failed.

Teddy comes into the restaurant with a baby rat, asking them to watch it for a couple of hours. While watching over the rat, Hugo comes into the restaurant to buy water and hears the rat squeal. After a brief investigation and Bob hiding the rat in his underwear, they get Hugo to leave.

1st phase

Nazaré Gomes (Carolina Loureiro) to save her mother, she is forced to betray Duarte Blanco (José Mata), a playboy, the son of a furniture industry tycoon. He always had everything he wanted and the best money can buy. He loves fast cars, women and never worked.

Nazaré is Matilde's only daughter (Custódia Gallego). The father, Joaquim (Rogério Samora), left them when Nazaré was still small. From that time there were the memories of the successive depressions of the mother, who never conformed.

Years later, a brain tumor was diagnosed in Matilde and Nazaré is the only one who takes care of her. They only have each other. The smallest family in the world. The only thing he knows about his father is that he committed murder, ran away and left his mother in despair.

Nazaré only thinks about doing whatever it takes to save her mother. Her many researches lead her to a London surgeon, who has already been successful in cases similar to her mother's, a doctor as effective as she is expensive.

Glória Silva (Luisa Cruz), owns a restaurant. She has two children, Matias Silva (Pedro Sousa) and Toni Silva (Afonso Pimentel). Both help the mother in the family business, but they also dedicate themselves to obscure matters.

Matias dates Patricia (Aurea), but is secretly in love with Nazaré. She is assaulting Quinta dos Blanco together with her boyfriend, after he convinces her that the fire is far away. But the wind makes the fire suddenly change direction and corner them. In the midst of the panic, the two separate, and that's where Nazaré finds Duarte and takes him out of hell.

The survival alliance that the two forged that night turns them into heroes, causing intense feelings to arise.

But it all ends as suddenly as it begins. Duarte is injured and is taken to the hospital, where he remains unconscious.

An exchange of data causes it to be presumed dead. For Félix Blanco (Albano Jerónimo) and Verónica Blanco (Sandra Barata Belo) it is time to celebrate and keep the spoils of the crimes.

But the scheme of both takes an unexpected turn, when Duarte appears at funeral ceremonies, determined to assume his inheritance.

Tragedy changes you profoundly. He is not suspicious of his uncle's involvement in his father's death and continues to entrust him with the vice-presidency of Atlântida, but he wants to assume the presidency and become someone of whom António would be proud.

Félix is furious with the failure, but he knows that a new attack would raise suspicions. Afraid that Nazaré has seen more than she should, she looks for her.

At that time, he realizes that she is unaware of his involvement in the fires and realizes that Duarte's attachment to Nazaré may serve his purposes.

With that in mind, the villain makes him the offer: give him money to operate on his mother if, in return, she seduces her nephew and agrees to do whatever he says. Otherwise, it has the means to accuse Nazaré of the fire and the death of some people. Cornered, she gives in to blackmail.

The scheme to catch Duarte is designed in detail by Félix and Nazaré will follow the plan to the letter ... but it will not be as easy as she thought.

In addition to the fierce opposition from Bárbara Soares (Filipa Areosa), Duarte's girlfriend, she will also have to deal with Toni, who, without her knowing it, was one of the arsonists in the pine forest, and Matias, who will not be able to continue to hide his feelings and will fight with his brother for the same woman.

2nd phase

Six months later, another villain appears in the story.

Nuno Saavedra (António Pedro Cerdeira) lost his wife on the day of the fire and blames Nazaré and Toni for the tragedy. This man kidnaps Nazaré and Toni, drugs them and locks them up in a car in the pine forest. The objective is to set them on fire so that they can be burned to death, like his wife, but Duarte arrives in time to save them.

Nazaré is arrested for the murder of António and almost dies in prison twice, at the behest of Verónica. But someone relieves her with the video of António's death, proving that it was Félix who killed António. It is later revealed that it was Ismael (Tiago Aldeia) who allegedly killed Félix, having been in an accident. However, it is also revealed that there were two shots and that it was someone else who killed Félix and not Ishmael.

Duarte marries Barbara and is under house arrest, suspected of Félix's death. Meanwhile, Bárbara deceives Duarte, saying that she is pregnant, so that he does not leave her to be with Nazaré and tries to take advantage of Cris's addiction (João Maneira) to get pregnant. When Duarte realizes that he has been deceived, and with his heart still beating for Nazaré, he asks for a divorce and expels his wife from home. Maddened, she swears revenge.

Barbara, masked, abducts Nazaré. She runs away and discovers that Cláudia (Liliana Santos) is not dead, after all, but in an induced coma, and saves her friend who reveals that it was Barbara who killed Félix. Nazaré tells Duarte the whole truth about Barbara and he ends up questioning whether he is with Toni again, which she denies, ending up telling him that he never stopped loving her. The two make up, but the story is still far from the happy ending.

When all of Verónica's crimes are discovered, the villain is forced to flee and is saved by Nuno and, when he is on board a yacht, the man throws Verónica into a wooden boat and leaves her on the high seas to die.

Duarte and Toni propose to Nazaré at the same time, and the fisherwoman is undecided, but chooses Duarte and tells everyone that she accepted Duarte's marriage proposal.

After everyone learns that it was Barbara who killed Félix, the villain is trapped and, in the middle of Duarte and Nazaré's marriage, tries to take the fisherwoman's life. The police appear at that moment and take her to jail, where the villain will remain until the end of her days. At the time of goodbye, Barbara declares to her ex-husband. With the arrest of Bárbara, the singer is considered innocent by the death of Félix and leaves the jail for the arms of Glória.

During the wedding of Duarte and Nazaré, Toni appears by surprise at the ceremony and tries to convince the fisherwoman to stay with him, while getting emotional. Nazaré is undecided, but she still chooses Duarte to spend the rest of her life.

The first season ends with the couple in church celebrating the bond.

Several aspiring comedians who join SSS, a talent agency, in hopes of becoming the greatest entertainers in Japan, while facing rejection and jealousy during their struggles.

In 1940s Buenos Aires, the laconic, immaculately dressed Miguel Acuña, or "El Púa" (Carlos Estrada) leads a double life. He owns a bar and appears apathetic to the customers but is secretly a violent criminal. He murders the local mafia boss after threatening him with a knife and shoots him dead when he reacts with a gun. He throws the knife in the river. Miguel becomes the leader.

The gang pull off a series of robberies. At one robbery by the docks they shoot several people dead, including several of the guards and a man in a car, which they use as the getaway vehicle after the tyres are shot at on their own vehicle. In the next robbery, Miguel accidentally shoots a young boy dead while shooting at the guards. His guilt is only revealed when he overhears customers at the bar talking about his death, forcing him to walk out in awkward silence.

While planning a bigger caper, Alma (Julia von Grolman), the wife of his associate Américo (Luis Brandoni), falls in love with Miguel. Miguel reluctantly relents to her advances but proceeds to beat her, despite professing his love for her. Tano, one of the gang members, is reluctant to participate in the imminent big bank robbery and is threatened by Miguel. During the robbery, when Tano' s worries come to fruition and he is shot by one of the guards, rather than save him, Miguel shoots him dead while making their escape. The getaway vehicle catches fire but the men escape.

The police invade Américo and Alma's flat while Américo is in the bathroom shaving. Américo pretends to surrender but turns on an officer, holding his razor blade to his throat, but is shot dead in front of his wife as backup officers arrive. The police arrive at the bar and surround Miguel. Miguel manages to escape, but only by ruthlessly shooting dead a female admirer and an old friend, to buy him time to escape. He is eventually shot on the roof and falls to his death through the skylight onto the bar's pool table, much to the shock of the bartender who had never suspected his wicked ways.

Edward "Eddie" Brannigan (Brian Dennehy), a prestigious veteran lawyer, gives a dinner party at his home to celebrate what for him is an honor: He's healed a relationship with his lawyer son Eddie Jr. (Reed Diamond) and will be working in his office.

However, the guests soon return after hearing a commotion; they find a distraught Rebecca claiming that Eddie Sr. had raped her, which Eddie Sr. denies. After Rebecca files charges, Eddie Jr. initially can't believe what's being leveled at his father, until a talk with his mother and Eddie Sr.'s ex-wife Monica (Lynn Redgrave) reveals damning info. From then on, Eddie Sr.'s friends, neighbors and associates are split on whether they trust him or not.

''Bite the Bullet'' takes place in a futuristic, dystopic setting; mankind suffered a food crisis that resulted in the invention of "bionodes," implants that enabled humans to consume inorganic matter, but also resulted in mutations. The mutated humans, dubbed "ghouls", were left behind on Earth as the rest of humanity colonized other planets in an event known as the Great Exodus.

The game follows a pair of mercenaries. Chewie and Chewella, tasked with collecting DNA from Earth's ghouls by eating them. Collected ghoul DNA becomes part of the Compendium, a database of all organic matter and genetic information in the galaxy. The player's employer, Vora, is the CEO of the DarwinCorp, the megacorporation that runs the Compendium and assigns missions to the mercenaries.

As the game progresses, Chewie and Chewella encounter members of the ghoul resistance and begin to question their mission.

In Tokyo, “Ladybug” a former assassin, boards a bullet train to Kyoto on a mission to retrieve a briefcase which is in possession of two assassins, “Lemon” and “Tangerine” who are escorting the briefcase and the son of the White Death to Kyoto. Also on the train is Yuichi Kimura, a father out to avenge his injured son who was pushed off a building. The would-be assassin is the “Prince” who reveals to Kimura that she attacked his son to lure him on the train as part of a scheme to kill the White Death. Ladybug retrieves the briefcase but is attacked by the “Wolf” who mistakes him for having poisoned his cartel wedding party. After a fight, Ladybug kills him and stashes the briefcase in the bar carriage.

Lemon and Tangerine discover the briefcase is missing and split up in search of it. Failing to find it, they return to their seats to find the son is dead. Tangerine then steps off the train to meet with henchmen of the White Death who demand a status update. Ladybug catches Lemon alone and tries to offer them the briefcase in exchange for letting him go. Lemon refuses and the two fight and Ladybug knocks him out and puts a sleeping drug into his water bottle. The Prince and Kimura find the briefcase and she booby traps it with explosives. She also reveals that she has similarly booby trapped Kimura’s gun. Tangerine returns and wakes up Lemon and they resume searching.

Tangerine finds Ladybug and two fight but cease when the White Death demands another status update at the next stop. Ladybug tries to parlay with Tangerine who refuses as he plans to hand him over to the White Death. Ladybug responds by kicking him off the train, but Tangerine manages to jump aboard on the back. Meanwhile, Lemon runs into the Prince and Kimura who arouses his suspicion. He shoots and injures Kimura but then collapses due to having drank from the drugged water bottle. The Prince then shoots Lemon several times in the chest and stashes their bodies in the toilet. In the bar carriage, Ladybug encounters the “Hornet” who is the one who killed the White Death’s son and wants the briefcase as payment. After a struggle, Ladybug kills her.

Elsewhere, Tangerine runs into the Prince and finds a clue left by Lemon and is about to shoot her when Ladybug attacks him causing the gun to go off, killing Tangerine. Not suspecting the Prince, Ladybug sits with her as they wonder what their next move is when Kimura’s father, the “Elder” boards the train. Revealing that he knows that Prince is not what she seems, she runs off proclaiming she will kill the White Death by herself. The Elder explains to Ladybug that he was once a lieutenant in the Yakuza but lost his wife when the White Death took over. They find Kimura and Lemon in the toilet, the latter having survived due to his bulletproof vest. The Elder convinces them to work together to face the White Death.

Arriving at Kyoto, Ladybug steps off and gives them the briefcase. The White Death boards the trains and is confronted by the Prince who is revealed to be his estranged daughter. She tries to goad him into shooting her with the booby-trapped pistol but he doesn’t and leaves. White Death then reveals to Ladybug that it was him who hired all the assassins as part of a scheme to avenge the death of his wife. All the assassins were in some fashion linked to her death. The henchmen open the briefcase which explodes knocking Ladybug onto the train. Lemon then starts the train while the Elder and Kimura battle the White Death and his henchmen. The train hurtles out of control eventually crashing. Emerging alive from the wreck, the White Death tries to shoot Ladybug but is killed by the booby-trapped gun. Kimura and the Elder join him but then Prince appears with a machine gun, proclaiming that it was thanks to her the White Death was killed. Lemon then runs her over with a tangerine truck.

The story is told in the first person by an unnamed narrator. In the first half he tells the story of a miracle that occurred in Flanders at some unspecified time in the past. A small boat is about to make a voyage from the island of Cadzand to Ostend. The wealthy passengers sit in the stern, and the poorer ones at the front. The crew are rowing in the middle. At the last minute a stranger boards the boat. The rich passengers will not make room for him so he has to sit with the poorer passengers. It then sets off to Ostend. During the journey, there is a storm, and the boat is soon in danger. The stranger gives a message of reassurance to the poorer passengers, whilst the wealthier passengers view him with disdain or skepticism. The boat capsizes a short distance from Ostend. The stranger walks on the water to the shore, and poorer passengers walk with him to safety at a house on shore. The wealthy passengers drown. The stranger then goes back to the water to rescue the boat's captain and takes him back to the house. It is realised afterwards that the stranger was Jesus Christ.

A convent was built on the spot of the miracle.

In the second half of the story, the narrator visits the convent's church in Flanders in 1830 just after the July Revolution. When he is there he has a vision of meeting an old woman in the church. He follows her to her home, and there she briefly transforms into a young woman who shows him a vision of churches. He then is woken up by an attendant in the convent church and realises he was dreaming. The narrator sees the dream as a message to defend the church.

Umberto Massaciuccoli is an engineer who attempted a bank robbery to avoid the bankruptcy of his business; the robbery, however, fails miserably and Umberto is thus arrested and sentenced to a period of detention in the Ventotene prison. Arriving near the end of the sentence, the man is admitted to day work outside the penitentiary, which sees him as librarian and tutor to the daughter of the director of the prison in view of the graduation of the girl.

One evening, during a socio-cultural event open to the public, Umberto meets Morgana, a fascinating dance teacher; the fact that he is called by fellow prisoners and prison staff with the nickname of "professor" makes the girl believe that he works in the prison as an educator and that he is not a prisoner: taking advantage of the misunderstanding, Umberto begins to attend her in clandestine way instead of going to work in the library, but every day by midnight he must return to the structure.

One day Morgana discovers the truth and distances herself from Umberto, who, however, will be able to win her back, with the help and complicity of friends and companions and taking risks personally, making her recover a gold chain handed down for generations in her family and that his violent ex had sold to a Romanian fence. Finally, Morgana, reflecting on Umberto's questions regarding the love of a daughter for her father, will decide to give the jewel of the chain to Martina, Umberto's daughter, leaving the latter in the dark about her. Some time later Umberto, Morgana and Arnaldo, owner of the municipal library where Umberto worked, opened a company that deals with recovering missing objects, exploiting the body of Arnaldo (afflicted by dwarfism) to dig in the crevices.

The plot focuses on the investigation being done by a reporter 13 months after the titular Sasquatch Massacre occurs in the community of Greenloop, Washington. Greenloop is a small eco-centric community, consisting of six smart homes and a central Community House. The location is remote; it is one and a half hours south of the city of Seattle, has a single access road, and supplies are delivered by drones. The homes inside are eco-friendly, powered by sunlight and waste. Many of the functions of the smart homes are automated, and are controlled via iPhones and iPads.

The narrator is guided into the events of the massacre by the brother of Kate Holland, one of the residents who is still missing. The narrator combines Kate's journal entries and additional interviews with experts on zoology, a Forest Service officer and others, in order to provide the reader context about the nature of the Bigfoot.

We learn that for therapeutic reasons, Kate was asked by her psychotherapist to maintain a written record of her thoughts, feelings and experiences in Greenloop.

After the opening sequence, documenting the uprise of students at a women's boarding school following the death of one of their fellow students, the preceding events are told in a flashback narration: Among a number of young female students, opposition is growing against the conservative-authoritarian school administration and its strict doctrines. The opposing students are divided into fractions themselves, left-wing like Akiko versus unpolitical like Tomiko, and ones who call for action now versus those who urge not to act prematurely. The latter is a repeated cause for debate between Akiko, an overt socialist of upper-class descent, and Toshiko, who acts as sort of a leading figure and ideologue. Catalyst of the events is student Yoshie, who is behind in her studies, but not allowed to work late at night according to the rules. Yoshie enrolled in the school in an attempt to escape her rigid father, who also rejects her wish to marry her friend Shimoda once both have their degrees. Picked on by teacher Mayumi and suffering from social distancing by the other girls, Yoshie finally commits suicide. While she is mourned by Tomiko and Shimoda, with Tomiko, Akiko and Mayumi blaming each other for her death, the other students block the auditorium under Toshiko's guidance and sing their unofficial student's hymn which the administration had banned.

After the events of the first novel, the High Five have scattered across the globe: Aech is on vacation in Senegal with her fiance, Bollywood singer Endira. Shoto has taken over operations at GSS's Hokkaido division, and Samantha has flown back to Vancouver to pack up her belongings and say goodbye to her grandmother. To keep himself busy, Wade Watts decides to test out his new superuser abilities, a result of winning the competition that gives him control of the OASIS.

Wade finds an inscription on Halliday's Easter egg and after following directions, he finds the first operational ONI (OASIS Neural Interface) headset. This headset takes control of the user's mind and gives real world sensations inside of the OASIS. However, it can only be used for twelve hours a day to prevent death by Synaptic Overload Syndrome. After testing it out, he contacts Aech and Shoto of his findings and they both try it out. Samantha is furious and argues with Wade about the headset's capabilities, saying that being even more dependent on the OASIS is the last thing the world needs while Wade argues that the ONI can help those with physical limitations. She breaks up with him after realizing that their argument is being recorded. The High Five all start their own charity businesses. Three years pass. Aech, Shoto, and Wade build a spaceship christened Vonnegut and upload a standalone copy of the OASIS which they call ARC@DIA.

The ONI headsets start selling fast allowing GSS to absorb IOI. When a specific number of ONI purchases is reached, new riddle appears. The riddle is about finding Seven Shards to restore the "Siren's Soul". Wade has trouble finding them, so he offers a billion-dollar bounty for whoever can give him information on the shards. GSS employee Faisal Sodhi calls for a GSS co-owners meeting as people keep hacking the ONI headsets to exceed the twelve hour usage limit. Art3mis turns up as well and proposes to put an age-restriction on the ONI headsets, leading to another argument. It is here that we learn that her grandmother died of pancreatic cancer. She loses the vote and logs out. An androgynous gunter named L0hengrin/Skylar Castillo Adkins, a member of a clan called the L0w Five which also consists of fellow gunters Lilith, Wukong, Rizzo, and Kastagir find the First Shard and Wade experiences one of Ogden "Og" Morrow's wife Kira's memories: her creating her first piece of digital artwork. For their help, L0hengrin receives the billion dollar prize from Wade and shares it with their clan.

Og disappears after Wade obtains the First Shard and GSS employee Miles Gendell tells Wade that Nolan Sorrento has broken out of prison. Another meeting is called. Faisal, who is organizing the meeting, turns out to be a corrupt A.I. copy of James Halliday's avatar Anorak who steals back his Robes. Wade realizes that he broke Sorrento out of prison as he is seen with a captive Og. Anorak's A.I. demands that the High Five give him the Siren's Soul or they will die of Synaptic Overload Syndrome (except Art3mis who is using ordinary OASIS equipment). Anorak reveals that the ONI users can't log out unless he gets what he wants. He crashes Art3mis's private jet, but she turns out to have survived.

The High Five find the next three shards on Kodama, Shermer and Halcydonia. Before they can find the Fifth Shard, Faisal calls them back to GSS Headquarters where he reveals that Anorak has altered the behavior of the NPCs so that they can kill off other avatars in both PvP and non-PvP zones and loot their inventory which they bring to Anorak. In addition, when the avatars die, they can't respawn and will be trapped in limbo. The L0w Five appear revealing that the NPCs are looking for Og's Anorak-killing supersword the Dorkslayer. Together, they find out that the Siren's Soul is a digital copy of Og's late wife Kira/Leucosia and that Anorak wants the Siren's Soul so he can resurrect and fall in love with her and escape with her on board the Vonnegut. The L0w Five decide to go on a quest to find the sword. Art3mis logs out to go and protect Og. Wade apologizes to her about the ONI and she accepts his apology. Before leaving, she kisses his forehead — a sign that their relationship is healing.

Aech, Shoto and Wade find the Fifth Shard on Afterworld, a world dedicated to Prince. They have to battle seven incarnations of the singer during which Shoto is killed. Aech and Wade journey to Arda I to find the Sixth Shard, but Aech is killed and Wade takes damage from poison during a fight with Carcharoth. Art3mis arrives and saves Wade and they obtain the Sixth Shard. Wade obtains the last shard on Chthonia and steals back Anorak's Robes. Wade and Samantha find Og captured by Sorrento. Anorak operates a telebot and uses its guns to kill Sorrento, but Sorrento fatally wounds Og in his last moments. Og dons an ONI headset and does battle with Anorak, but Anorak gains the upper hand. Just before Og can be defeated, L0hengrin arrives with the Dorkslayer, which Og uses to destroy Anorak, freeing all of the ONI hostages. Og dies seconds later and Wade logs out of the OASIS but loses consciousness and wakes up 15 hours later in a GSS hospital bay.

Wade logs back into the OASIS and reassembles the shards, resurrecting Leucosia who gives him an artifact called the Rod of Resurrection which allows the users to resurrect an ONI user as a digital person even if the user is already dead. Wade makes copies of the whole human race including his friends, himself, Samantha's grandma, Ogden Morrow, and the rest of the L0w Five. He sends them off to Proxima Centauri on board the Vonnegut. Shoto and his wife Kiki have a baby boy and they name him Little Daito, after Shoto's late brother. Aech marries Endira. Wade and Samantha marry and are expecting a baby girl which they plan to name Kira after Leucosia.

The film opens with an unidentified boy forced by a man in a black Nazi uniform to shoot a young woman in a forest, as a strange figure approaches them in the background.

The film then cuts to Yakov Ronen, a man who has left the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn. He is struggling to deal with an unspecified traumatic event in his past and to pay his rent due to not having a job. He is approached by Reb Shulem, a member of his former Orthodox Jewish community, to keep vigil over Rubin Litvak, a Holocaust survivor who had died recently. Shulem had previously hired a Shomer, but that individual had left due to being "afraid", and Ronen had prior experience with keeping vigil. Ronen accepts the job after negotiating a higher fee. That night, Ronen and Shulem meet with Litvak's widow, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and reluctantly accepts Ronen as a Shomer, and Shulem informs Ronen that the mortuary men will arrive in five hours.

Ronen begins his vigil then he starts to hear strange noises and sees a shadowy figure in the house's dining room. He finds a photo of Litvak and his family with a similar shadowy figure behind them, before briefly going to sleep; he has a nightmare about his younger brother being tormented by some older men. Upon waking up, Ronen experiences additional strange events, such as the lights flickering while texting his friend Sarah, and finds a video on his phone sent by an unknown number. The video shows Mrs. Litvak approaching Ronen and touching his face while he is asleep; the video file vanishes from his phone a few seconds later.

Ronen has a conversation with Mrs. Litvak, who explains that she drove their children away. Ronen then finds a television in the basement, playing a video recording of Litvak and his wife. In the recording, Litvak explains that he was haunted by a , a malevolent spirit, since his time in Buchenwald, that it latches onto a "broken person" and that its true face must be burned by dawn on the first night of its appearance to banish it. The ''Mazzik'' appears behind Ronen, and he flees from the basement. Ronen gets a call apparently from his physician, Dr. Kohlberg, and from his dead brother, who asks: "Why did you let me die?"

Ronen leaves the house to get Shulem, though Mrs. Litvak warns him that he has been in the house for too long. However, Ronen experiences cracking bones while walking down the street, and is confronted by the ''Mazzik''. Ronen hastily returns to the house, and falls down the steps after being startled by the ''Mazzik'' appearing in front of the door. A flashback then reveals that Ronen's brother was killed in a car accident after escaping from the men who were tormenting him, and Ronen has felt guilty about his death ever since.

With Mrs. Litvak's assistance, Ronen confronts the ''Mazzik'', which has shapeshifted its true face to look like Ronen's. After initially hesitating, Ronen sets its true face on fire, and then banishes it when it begins to make Litvak's body contort loudly. A flashback reveals that Litvak was the boy forced to shoot the young woman in the opening scene; the pain Litvak felt after the shooting caused the ''Mazzik'' to latch on to him.

On the next morning, the mortuary men arrive to collect Litvak's body, and Shulem asks Ronen to attend morning prayers with him; Ronen declines his offer, saying "not today". As he leaves the house, a dark figure (presumably the ''Mazzik'') is seen following Ronen out of the house and heading down the street behind him.

Writer-director Malcolm Elliott (John David Washington) returns home from his film premiere with his girlfriend Marie Jones (Zendaya). Malcolm eagerly anticipates the critical reviews following the emotional audience response from the screening. When he notices Marie looking displeased, he urges her to tell him what is bothering her. Initially reluctant to start a fight in the middle of the night, she tells him that she is upset that she was not thanked or acknowledged in his speech at the premiere.

Marie believes that she is the basis of his film, a drama about a struggling black female drug addict named Imani, as she herself was a drug addict when they met. Malcolm dismisses her accusations, claiming that Imani is not based on her and is an amalgamation of different people. Marie insists that he would not have authentically portrayed Imani's struggles with drug abuse and addiction if they were not together. Malcolm believes that Marie is overreacting, claiming that, because she quit acting years ago, she is jealous of the actress who played Imani and that she is projecting her personal problems on him and his film. Marie affirms her position on his lack of acknowledgment and calls his talents "mediocre". While Marie is taking a bath, Malcolm describes to her the different women he had relationships with, who inspired the character of Imani, stating that only Imani's feelings of hopelessness were based on Marie. After drying herself from the bath, she responds by playing Dionne Warwick's song "Get Rid of Him" on her phone, while the two are sitting silently outside.

Heading back inside, Malcolm then finds and reads the first critic review posted about his film. Despite the review being positive, he rants about the white female critic's political interpretation of his film as he did not intend it to be political. He laments that film critics are focusing too much on his black male identity and projecting politics into their interpretations, rather than judging him for his own merits. Marie playfully belittles his angry reaction to the positive review and his inability to take criticism, before the two appear to be bonding again following their arguments.

Before the two can begin to have sex, Marie provokes him when she asks why he did not cast her as Imani, believing that she would have brought a vulnerability and authenticity to the character that could have made the film better. After they angrily accuse each other of being egotistical, Marie then brings out a knife and acts out a scene as Imani to demonstrate authenticity, scaring but impressing Malcolm over how convincing she is. The two go to their bedroom and argue once more, until Marie lectures him about him taking her for granted and his lack of acknowledgement of how their genuine love for each other inspired the film.

Their arguing finally stops as they go to bed without saying anything to each other, only thanking each other before they sleep. Malcolm wakes up alone in bed in the morning daylight. He finds Marie alone outside and joins her as they look across the distance, leaving the fate of their relationship unknown.
