Sergey, a young private in the Estonian air force, has only a few weeks remaining in his military service. He and his friends bristle under the tight control of the military commanders. He appears to have a budding romance with Luisa, the secretary to the base commander, and he indulges in a photography hobby that is barely tolerated by his superiors. He is assigned to assist a new fighter pilot, Roman, when he arrives. An undeniable passion between them develops, despite the threat of imprisonment that hangs over homosexual romances under the Soviet regime. Nonetheless, they consummate their attraction to one another and are nearly found out by a KGB agent.
Roman encourages Sergey to study acting in Moscow instead of returning to his family's farm when he leaves the service. A year after Sergey leaves and finds a new life in the theater, he is invited to Roman and Luisa's wedding. He attends and barely contains his disappointment in Roman and continuing love for him.
Roman and Luisa have a child together, but their marriage is a sham and he continues to yearn for Sergey. Roman separates from his wife and son ostensibly to study in Moscow. Secretly, he rents an apartment with Sergey and they cohabit happily—taking a vacation together, too. However, Luisa and their son come to Moscow at New Year's time and Roman and Sergey's love is revealed to her. She is enraged at both Roman and Sergey by this revelation and the two men must part.
Later, Roman is assigned to participate in the Soviet–Afghan War, where he is killed. After his death, Sergey visits Luisa, who is still very angry at him. He returns to his life as an actor in Moscow and is last seen watching a production of Igor Stravinsky's ballet, ''The Firebird'', which Roman had introduced him to.

Ralph is a rabbit. Speaking with Humane Society International for a documentary, he talks about his life as a "tester" for cosmetic products. Ralph tells the production crew how he is blind in one eye and partially deaf. While preparing for work, Ralph explains with a sad tone how he does not necessarily care about his life, as he feels sacrificing his body to help humans is worth it. At a laboratory, Ralph's rabbit friends beg for the production crew to free them from their trials as Ralph is injected with an unknown chemical into his only working eye. Now completely blind and visibly in pain, Ralph says his final remarks; without animal testing, he would be out in a field "like a normal rabbit".

In the town of Seabrook, werewolves, humans, and zombies coexist in peace. Addison (Meg Donnelly) has been accepted into Mountain College, and Zed (Milo Manheim) is pursuing an athletic scholarship at Mountain College and is hoping to join Addison. During the night before an anticipated football game, where, should they win, Seabrook's going to have their first zombie/monster recruited into college, therefore bringing down a barrier for all other monsters, a UFO arrives and causes mass panic. Its alien passengers arrived in search of an interstellar map to Utopia, a perfect new home for their species. To cover up their real purpose, they claim to be here to compete in the National Cheer Off, which Addison previously had organized. While in interrogation at the Z-Patrol, A-spen (Terry Hu) finds a loophole so Zed can get into college by having an exceptional scholarship.
The werewolves (Chandler Kinney, Pearce Joza, Ariel Martin) are extremely distrustful of the aliens, who settle into Seabrook temporarily. The aliens interrogate the werewolves and scan their minds with their Luma Lenses. Eliza (Kylee Russell), who is currently interning at Z-Corp, the maker of the Z-bands, helps Zed with his scholarship. However, the aliens beat Zed's records, both athletic and academic, lowering his chances of entering college. Zed, in return for the aliens altering his report card, helps the aliens identify the moonstone, which they scan for coordinates and discover is lethal to them. A-spen meets Addison, whom they reveal to that they are in love with Zed. At cheer practice, the cheer team is threatened after witnessing the aliens practice. The aliens are almost caught by the werewolves, and head to their Mothership (voiced by RuPaul) where Zed helps them with his knowledge of Seabrook, whereas Addison mistakenly is beamed up to the Mothership. A-spen, A-li (Kyra Tantao) and A-lan (Matt Cornett) reveal their true reasons for arriving in Seabrook. After fixing and watching the Scout's logs, they discover that the scout is none other than Addison's maternal grandmother Angie (Sheila McCarthy).
Zed is nervous for his home college interview, which is the last thing he needs to overcome before figuring out if he is accepted in Mountain College or not. Addison's alien powers cause him to "zombie out" during his interview, causing his interviewer to leave. Addison questions her identity as an alien, asking her mom (Marie Ward) about her grandma. The trio of aliens suspect that the Seabrook Cup, which is the trophy Angie created, now awarded to the winning team of the Cheer Off, which is crafted with materials from their home world, is their map home. Addison discovers this same thing soon after, and realizes either the aliens win it or she does. The werewolves discover the aliens' mission and alert the Z-patol. Zed, after learning he was accepted into college, discovers the Z-Patrol's orders, and tries to stop the aliens from competing in the Cheer-Off. The extraterrestrial team is disqualified, leaving Addison being their only chance of finding Utopia. The Seabrook Mighty Shrimp are victorious at the competition and win.
The werewolves crash into the cheer pavilion and reveal the aliens' plans. The aliens, Addison and Zed escape before Addison reveals to the town her alien heritage. Zed reveals his college news, and the aliens realize that the coordinates to Utopia lie in Addison's DNA, and unfortunately, their map is dynamic, meaning they must take Addison to their new home. A conflicted Addison agrees to go. Zed offers to go with her, but it is impossible, as he would be killed by their stardust energy. The aliens' ship is critically damaged, so the werewolves offer their moonstone, and Eliza states that they could filter the moonstone's energy through their Z-bands. Zed risks his life by interfering with the power of the aliens and the moonstone, though he survives. As the others race to exit the ship before it releases into space, Addison and Zed share one last kiss before he is beamed back to Earth. A few days later, in a world without Addison, the group celebrates their graduation as the aliens compute their coordinates. Addison realizes where her Grandma Angie wanted her species to live on Earth. The aliens then return to Seabrook. Zed, Bree (Carla Jeffery), Willa (Chandler Kinney) and Wynter (Ariel Martin) Wyatt, Bonzo, Bucky, and the Acey’s celebrate their return and, afterwards, the aliens fully move in to Seabrook, along with several other monsters and creatures including vampires and mermaids.
In a mid-credits scene, Bucky (Trevor Tordjman) is shown activating Mothership for launch, as he jets off to outer space, aiming to "bring cheer to the farthest reaches of the galaxy".
The novel opens by describing the process of slaughtering humans, who are then referred to as "head". The world has fallen into chaos after the "Transition", the term describing an event where a virus that infected animals was found to be deadly to humans, resulting in the mass slaughter and burning of animals, with the world's population forced either to go vegan, or eat each other. Soon cannibalism was institutionalized, industrialized and normalized, with humans bred for consumption known as "special meat". Scavengers, who cannot afford the special meat, consume any dead body available.
Marcos works at one of these slaughterhouses in order to support his ailing father, who suffers from dementia. He describes his internal conflict with his job and the state of the world. Marcos' job involves being a middle man, the one who purchases the "head" and then sells the products. The owner of a breeding center explains the entire process of raising the "head". He notes things like First Generation Pure (FGP's), describing "head" born in the breeding center. The breeding center delivers Marcos a female FGP as a gift.
More of Marcos' personal life is revealed as he talks to his wife Cecilia on the phone. The couple tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to have a family. They had a son, Leo, who died while still a baby. After his son's death he and his wife separated. It is made clear that he is having an affair with a butcher in town. After their encounter, Marcos' sister Marisa and her family are introduced. She contributes nothing to their father's care. Marcos travels back home and in his interactions with the female FGP, he seems to see her as less of a product. He eventually appears to develop feelings for the FGP and begins having sex with her, which is regarded as one of the worst transgressions in society.
In part two of the novel, significant time has passed. Marcos has named the female FGP Jasmine, due to her smell reminding Marcos of wild jasmine flowers. She has apparently been living in the house with him and is eight months pregnant.
Marcos's elderly father dies, and Marcos scatters his ashes in the zoo his father brought him to as a child, now abandoned. Marisa insists on hosting a "farewell party" for their father, which Marcos reluctantly attends, leaving after discovering his sister's "domestic head."
Marcos comes home to find Jasmine in labor with indications that the baby is in trouble. He calls his wife Cecilia, a professional nurse herself, to come and help. Jasmine gives birth to a boy with Cecilia's help. Marcos tells Cecilia that the baby is theirs now. Marcos knocks Jasmine out and begins bringing her to the barn to slaughter her. Cecilia protests, stating that Jasmine could have given them more children. Marcos closes by saying "She had the human look of a domesticated animal.”
''The Factory'' follows three new employees as they begin their new lives. The timeline, somewhat indefinite, appears to take place over a fifteen year span.
The story begins with Yoshiko Ushiyama being interviewed by Goto for a job at the factory. She graduated school with a liberal arts degree and a special interest in research on Japanese communication. She feels undeserving of working in such an important place as the factory. She recalls the impression the astounding factory had on her when she visited as a child. It seemed all powerful and like the perfect place to work. At the end of her interview, she is offered a contract position in the Print Services division. She spends full workdays shredding papers. Occasionally, she eats lunch with her work friends or her brother and his girlfriend. Yoshiko's portion of the story ends when she slowly slips into insanity, questioning her entire life's purpose before becoming a part of the factory herself.
The second perspective is that of Yoshio Furufue. Before he is recruited by the factory to work as a moss specialist, he was a university student. When he attends what he believes to be an interview for the job with Goto, he is told that his university has already coordinated his job and that the purpose of meeting is to start planning. He is given complete control over his project (green-roofing) with no deadlines. He learns that his "department" is just him. Furufue is then told that he will be required to work from a two story home on the premises, where one story will serve as his lab space. This comes as a surprise to Furufue, who was not told he would be forced to move and live at the factory. To start his work, the factory creates a "moss hunt" that children and parents can sign up for and participate in. After the moss hunt, Hikaru Samukawa and his grandfather approach Furufue at home to present the research they had conducted on the animals that live in the factory. While Furufue is out on a walk studying the mysterious shags, he almost accidentally photographs Yoshiko Ushiyama. Furufue apologizes for the misunderstanding, invites her to lunch, and as they eat together, they briefly compare experiences at the factory. Furufue comes to the realization that he has had no lasting impact on the factory and that his job has been completed without him. His last scene hints at his growing resemblance to the focus of his research.
The final perspective is that of Yoshiko Ushiyama's unnamed brother. He has just landed a temporary proofreading job in the Document Division after being fired from his old job. His previous work experience is in systems engineering. This job is a demotion for him; he sits at a desk all day proofreading nonsensical documents until he falls asleep. He tries to be grateful for his job, but he misses working with computers and feels like he is wasted potential. He spends his time trying his hardest to stay awake with food, coffee, and candy to no avail. He spends his free time with his girlfriend, whom his sister Yoshiko strongly dislikes. His story ends with him waking up and questioning his purpose, exactly how his story begins.
Antonio Flores is a humble valet living with his mother Cecilia. He is separated from his wife, Isabel, and shares custody of their teenage son. His neighborhood is under threat of upcoming gentrification plans, which local bike shop owner Natalie is trying to fight. Meanwhile, actress Olivia Allan is having an affair with city developer and married billionaire Vincent Royce. One night, when Olivia is getting into her Uber with Vincent standing next to her, Antonio crashes his bike into the car. The three are photographed together, sparking rumors of Olivia and Vincent's affair. Fearing he will lose his company if his wife Kathryn divorces him, Vincent comes up with a plan to have Olivia and Antonio pretend to be a couple. Olivia accepts because she wants to avoid any bad publicity before the premiere of her new movie, ''Earhart'', in which she stars as Amelia Earhart. Antonio requests $12,850 to pay for Isabel's debts.
Antonio and Olivia go out for lunch surrounded by paparazzi, where Olivia is rude and calculating, and Antonio is out of place. Everybody falls for the ploy, except for Kathryn, who hires a private investigator to tail them. At the premiere of ''Earhart'', she questions Antonio, who stands up for himself when she criticizes his occupation. As he leaves the event, Antonio realizes that he has become famous, especially within the Latin American community. Antonio and his friends drive a drunk Olivia home to avoid any unflattering paparazzi pictures.
The next day, Olivia is given a proper breakfast by Antonio's family. She admires their closeness and love for each other. Vincent is incorrectly led to believe that Antonio and Olivia slept together, making him jealous. ''Earhart'' receives positive reviews after the premiere but Olivia is lonely and unsure of Vincent's promise to leave his wife. Olivia attends Antonio's son's play at school. Out of jealousy, Isabel kisses Antonio, who tells her the truth about Olivia. Antonio and Olivia bond, and Olivia welcomes her anonymity in a Latin-American neighborhood. Back home, they pretend to have sex to mess with private investigators observing them from across the street. Cecilia tells Antonio she is glad he has found love again, like she has with their Korean landlord Mr. Kim, even though neither can speak the same language. Olivia acknowledges that she has not been living a healthy lifestyle.
The following day, Isabel tells Antonio that she wants to file for divorce, because she does not want to be with someone who thinks so little of himself. Olivia and Antonio fight over each of their self-destructive tendencies—her aloofness and his self-deprecation—and they publicly "break up". Vincent's lawyer later approaches Antonio to pay him $25,000, explaining that he grew up like Antonio and he is happy whenever he can do the right thing. Antonio hesitates, but takes the money.
Cecilia suffers a stroke and dies in the kitchen with Mr. Kim at her side. At the funeral, Antonio delivers a heartfelt eulogy about his mother's hardships to give him and his siblings a better life in the United States, and thanks Mr. Kim for giving her happiness. He speaks in English so Mr. Kim's family can translate. He makes up with Olivia, who decides to break up with Vincent. Kathryn learns the truth about Vincent, files for divorce, and takes over the company. To thank Antonio, she cancels the gentrification plans. Antonio builds up the courage to ask out Natalie. The film closes with Antonio and Olivia discussing Antonio's love life while the paparazzi take photos from the street.
Harper Marlowe decides to spend a holiday alone in the small village of Cotson following the apparent suicide of her husband James. In flashbacks, it is revealed that Harper, fed up with James' emotional abuse and manipulation, intended to divorce him, leading James to threaten her with his suicide. After James punches her in the face, knocking her down, Harper angrily locks him out of the flat and then witnesses him fall from an upstairs balcony to his death, being partially impaled by a fence.
Harper arrives at the spacious manor house she is renting and is welcomed by its owner Geoffrey, an apparently normal, if slightly oddball, country man. She later goes for a walk in the woods and stumbles upon an old disused railway tunnel. Finding that it produces an echo, she experiments using her voice to produce different pitches and tonalities within the tunnel. A figure appears at the distant end of the tunnel and begins screaming and running towards her, but in evading it she realises she has become lost. Clambering back up the embabnkment, she passes some disused buildings and sets off across open fields. She turns back to photograph the abandoned buildings with her phone. While examining the photograph in more detail, she is startled to see a bald, naked man in the image, who appears to be staring eerily back at her while standing silently among the abandoned buildings.
Later that afternoon, during a video call with her friend Riley, Harper sees the naked man through her garden window, his face covered with bloody scratches, next to a large apple tree. He peers through her window and takes an apple from same apple-tree from which she ate an apple on arrival at the house. Terrified to realize that the front door is slightly open, Harper quickly shuts and locks it, but the naked man attempts to enter the house by forcing his hand through the door's mail slot. Harper quickly phones the police and the man is arrested, with one of the arresting officers looking like Geoffrey. A friendly female police officer reassures Harper that the arrested man is probably homeless and looking for food, and may have found shelter in the abandoned buildings at the edge of the woods, where Harper first saw him.
Afterwards, Harper visits a church, where images of the Green Man and Sheela na gig are carved on a font. She cries, remembering James' death. Outside, she meets a mask-wearing young boy and a vicar who both bear a likeness to Geoffrey. The boy insults her when she declines his invitation to play hide and seek. The vicar sends the boy away. She discusses James' death with the vicar, saying she feels haunted by his death, and that she believes he looked at her during his fall. She wonders if that is possible, since the fall was so quick. The vicar insinuates that Harper might be partially to blame for James' death because she didn't allow him to apologise for hitting her. Furious with his attitude, she leaves the church and goes to the village pub on Geoffrey's recommendation. There are few patrons in the pub, and they and the bartender all bear Geoffrey's appearance. Geoffrey is also there. His policeman look-alike arrives a short time later. The policeman informs Harper that the naked man has been released in the absence of any legal ground to keep him detained, to her incredulity and chagrin. He is dismissive of her feelings and she leaves the pub. The naked man follows her in the background, appearing from behind a tree in the town cemetery.
She contacts Riley about the day's developments, and Riley agrees to drive to the village in the morning so that Harper can continue her holidays at the cottage. As Harper attempts to send Riley the address, her mobile phone's service is repeatedly interrupted. She sees the policeman in her garden, but as the lights flicker, he changes into one of the pub patrons and then chases her inside the house. Harper defends herself with a knife before a window breaks in the kitchen. Geoffrey arrives and finds that the window breaking has been due to a crow, which he then euthanises by breaking its neck. A chair has also been pulled within the house, which Harper knows is not accounted for by the crow's breaking in. As Geoffrey goes into the garden to check for any would-be intruders, he is replaced with the naked man, who chases Harper again. When he tries to reach his hand through the letter box in the front door, Harper stabs him through the arm. He slowly pulls his arm free, the stuck knife ripping his arm in an extreme injury resembling the one James received during his fall. Both the boy and the vicar appear in the house, each of them now similarly injured. Harper asks him what he is, and he replies "A swan" and proceeds to quote some lines of unexplained poetry. Obsessed by her sexuality, the vicar attempts to molest Harper, but she stabs him in the stomach and leaves the house.
While attempting to drive away, Harper runs over Geoffrey. In a rage, he throws Harper out of her car and drives away, circles back around, and chases Harper down before crashing the car into a stone wall in front of the house. The naked man, now in full Green Man form, approaches Harper, his ankle now severely broken and matching another injury on James's corpse. The naked man violently gives birth to the young boy, who in turn gives birth to the vicar, then Geoffrey, and finally James, heavily mutilating their bodies. Harper grabs an axe. Both James and Harper sit on a couch inside the house, with him continuing to blame her for his death. When Harper, holding the axe that sat nearby the fireplace in an earlier scene, asks him what he wants from her, James responds that he wants her love. Shortly afterwards, Riley arrives at the house and is revealed to be pregnant. Shocked at the blood trail leading into the house, Riley finds Harper sitting in the garden, alive and smiling when she sees her.
The opera tells the story of Prince Harmaki, who enters Queen Cleopatra's palace in order to murder her. His objective is regain power from the Romans.

The film is set in the Dutch East Indies of 1946 during the Indonesian National Revolution. Twenty-year-old soldier Johan de Vries from Arcen is sent to Semarang, where the Dutch army says it is to liberate the Indonesian people from the authority of Sukarno. Johan believes in the promise to help the population, but soon discovers that the reality is different: he notices that the population is hostile to the Dutch army and that his colleagues in turn hardly act against war crimes. For example, the army takes no action when the chiefs of a nearby village are found beheaded. Johan's fellow soldiers are instead more concerned with visiting local brothels and refer to the population as 'monkeys'.
After three months, during a patrol, the corps is suddenly attacked by Indonesian guerrillas, in which soldier Werner is killed. Army captain Raymond Westerling, who leads counter-guerrilla actions and purges against the Indonesian revolutionaries, tracks down the man who shot Werner and involves Johan in torturing the man. Johan then accompanies Westerling on a perilous journey deep into enemy territory to take out guerrilla fighters, making his first victim in the process.
Westerling admits Johan to his secret mission and carries out various assignments. Not much later, Johan is promoted to corporal. He hardens and the corps becomes increasingly alienated from him: his comrade Mattias Cohen is startled when Johan shoots a guerrilla fighter in cold blood. Meanwhile, rumors are spread about Johan's family in the camp. He told the soldiers himself that his entire family had died, but in reality his father is serving a prison sentence in Vught because he was a prominent member of the National Socialist Movement during World War II who was responsible for the deaths of more than a thousand Jews.
Johan and some fellow soldiers accompany Westerling on a dangerous purge mission to South Sulawesi. Led by Westerling, the army kills suspected guerrillas and innocent civilians are also victims of his violent regime. It bothers Johan that the suspects are convicted and killed without any trial. Gradually, Johan starts to question the war more and more.
In one of the settlements, a suspect claims to be innocent and to have been framed. Johan pleads to find out before the man is convicted, which Westerling interprets as insubordination and treason. He then declares Johan an outlaw and orders the corps to shoot him. Johan flees into the jungle and kills soldier Eddy Coolen. To his great surprise, Mattias also turned against him. After a confrontation with Westerling, Johan finally manages to escape with a gunshot wound.
Once in the Netherlands, Johan is unable to pick up his old life. He cannot find a job and struggles with hatred towards his father. Years later, he visits Westerling in a theater where he works as an actor. Johan shoots him in the stomach and then commits suicide.

Jack, a failed toy designer, continuously depends on his parents, until they are killed in a freak accident on his 35th birthday. Ten months later, Jack is struggling financially from living on his own without support and dealing with maintenance and mortgage, while getting convinced by a man named David to sell his house. Jack also sees his colleague, Richard, as a competition, as he won the designer of the year award. Due to the failures of his toy designs, Jack is subsequently fired by his boss, Ron, and rehired for a lower waged position, instead of being promoted.
Jack decides to become an adult and sell his house, packs his toys, and to Jack's sadness, throws away a stuffed puppy named Benny, his favorite childhood toy. However, Benny destroys all of Jack's plush toys, which prompts him to call two police officers over for an investigation. However, they just insult Jack and eat his biscuits. At work, Jack meets Dawn, a tech consultant, and begins a relationship.
At home, Jack finds David's head on the bed beside him, and the next morning, his body slumped on a chair, and his blood is all over the house. He immediately cleans up his house and narrowly avoids getting caught when the police officers come by to get something they left in his house the day before. After Benny shreds a cat with a lawnmower, Jack makes Benny promise that he will stay here as long as he does not murder anyone else.
Jack is inspired by Benny to create several toy designs, which impresses Ron and his relationship grows closer with Dawn. A realtor shows a woman named Tara about Jack's house, which is on sale, but Benny impales the realtor with a wooden sign and forces Tara to hide for a long period of time in Jack's attic. Jack comes home and is shocked at Benny again, so he keeps him in a box for his date night with Dawn.
Benny frees himself as Ron drops off Precious, his dog, which Benny kills by hacking it in the back with a hatchet. Dawn shares a tragic backstory of when her father tripped over her favorite doll, Amy, and broke his neck. Jack decides to fake Precious' death by stabbing him and throwing him out the window and onto Ron's car, to allegedly protect Dawn from him.
Ron fires Jack, but Benny does not realize that Jack is upset, and even tries to play with the very stressed-out Jack. Benny kidnaps Ron, and Jack sees this as an opportunity to get his job back, but Benny throws a garden tool into Ron's throat before he is rehired. Jack buries Benny in the woods and spends time with Dawn while they clean up Ron's murder. Benny hitches a ride on Dawn's car, where Jack tries to claim that Benny is dangerous, just to be mocked and laughed at by his colleagues. Benny stabs Richard in the hand, and Jack, Dawn, and Richard escape the room, locking Benny inside, who subsequently massacres the remaining workers.
Jack, Dawn, and Richard go back to Jack's house to formulate a plan against Benny, even though Richard is pessimistic. Benny gears up with weapons, while at the same time, the trio booby-traps the house. Benny makes his way into Jack's house through his toilet. Dawn is surprised by Benny with her childhood doll, Amy. Richard gets stabbed and has his organs sucked out by his toy Rosco, which earlier, he discarded. Jack and Dawn continue fighting with Benny and Amy, respectively, which ends in Amy being stabbed and Benny leaping out of the window and shot to death by the same police officers from earlier.
Two months later, Jack and Dawn are starting a new life, with the two police officers covering for them about Benny. In a post-credit scene, Tara is seen dead in the attic, having hidden there for a long time and having succumbed to starvation/dehydration.

Because he has to work on Thanksgiving, Ken Bates drops off his daughters Lyla and Gracie for dinner with their mother and her new husband Grant. Ken then picks up his nebbish coworker Chris Godecki and drives to their late shift at We Love Toys. While anxious shoppers assemble outside, Ken and Chris join coworkers Marnie, Brian, Archie, Ruth, Emmett, Anita, and Bircher as they get ready to open the store for Black Friday. Bircher accidentally locks himself outside the building while smoking a cigarette. Possessed by a parasite, a rabid shopper mauls Bircher, causing him to transform into a creature too.
Store manager Jonathan Wexler has his employees open the doors. Shoppers pour in, but they gradually turn violent as the parasitic mutation spreads. Everyone eventually realizes that the shoppers are transforming into murderous creatures as they are attacked and forced to fight back. Possessed by a parasite, Emmett emits a tentacle that kills Anita. Emmett turns into a creature before fleeing toward the store's Santa's Village display.
Ruth holes up in the office while Archie leads Chris and Brian through a mutant horde to close an exit door before more shoppers get inside. Jonathan and Ken battle a creature in the bathroom. Marnie sneaks into Santa's Village and sees that transformed shoppers are being assimilated into a growing sac. Once the exit door is secured, Jonathan, Ken, Chris, Marnie, Brian, Archie, and Ruth regroup on the store floor. Driven by a possessed officer, a speeding police car crashes through the front window. The car runs over Ruth. Mutating shoppers begin pouring inside again. After he rescues Chris, one of the monsters kills Archie.
Ken, Marnie, Chris, Brian, and Jonathan barricade themselves in the storeroom. While talking about their various tenures at the store, the coworkers bond over sliced turkey meat. However, the group conversation turns confrontational when Ken and Chris argue about their disappointing stations in life and Marnie calls out Ken for not having a real romance with her. A mutant breaches the storeroom. Ken gets bitten in the commotion. Presuming he is now infected and will soon transform, Ken stays behind while Chris, Marnie, Jonathan, and Brian go to the loading dock to obtain a truck for escaping. With Chris unable to start the truck, he and the others fight off another mutant before making their way to the roof. Meanwhile, the building catches fire as the main sac continues growing into a massive monster that soon fills the entire store. Jonathan sacrifices himself to a horde so Chris, Marnie, and Brian can escape back down to the ground.
Brian confesses he bit Ken in the earlier commotion, so Ken is not actually infected. Having assimilated all of the mutated shoppers, the massive monster breaks through the store's roof. Brian tries to confront the creature, but it kills him. Ken rejoins Chris and Marnie outside. Ken acts as a distraction while Chris tricks the monster into swallowing a forklift, which causes the injured creature to collapse into the fire. Ken, Chris, and Marnie escape in Ken's car. However, more massive monsters are seen emerging from other stores in the distance.
A divorced father, Guillaume Favre (Grégory Montel) is desperate to get shared custody of his daughter. He needs to keep his job as a chauffeur to pay for somewhere better to live, with room for his daughter. He is assigned a new client: a gifted perfumer Anne Walberg (Emmanuelle Devos) whose skills at constructing and identifying scents are matched by her egotism, poor treatment of her drivers, and lack of tact. Unlike most people, Guillaume stands up to Anne, and she requests him to be her sole driver as she lands a series of jobs requiring her skills across France, including the capturing of scents in a replication of a Paleolithic cave site in southern France, and blending new scents to mask an objectionable odour delaying the marketing of a new range of luxury handbags (where Guillaume intervenes to double her fee if she can overcome the problem in only 7 days). In a restaurant together during one of these trips, Anne identifies the five major components of the waitress's perfume (J'Adore) as she passes. Guillaume is staggered with her skill, and she confides that it is because she "invented that scent". Anne lives alone craves more social contact. She attends her agent's party but leaves on bad terms with her, later firing her. She uncharacteristically spends a night in a bar and returns to her hotel drunk, but is awoken in the morning with no sense of smell. She confides in Guillaume that this has happened once before. Four years ago she had a stressful high-profile job designing three perfumes for a major company in the US, and trying to bluff her way through with no sense of smell, the third one was a failure with an unacceptable scent - this has ruined her reputation in that industry.
Guillaume has to assist her in identifying an odour when she is called in to help factory owners in Alsace, whose plant emits noxious odours, creating protest from local residents. But, overcome by her loss of sense of smell, she takes sleeping pills in Guillaume's car on the return journey to Paris, and he speeds her to hospital at 180 km/h, saving her life but getting points on his licence that disqualify him from driving. She is aided in hospital by Professor Patrick Ballester (Sergi López), specialising in olfactory problems - Guillaume had called him - and returns home. Missing Guillaume, she finds his chauffeur agency and talks with his employer, who has found him a dead-end job riding a sit-on lawnmower at an airfield. She confronts Guillaume - who has confided in his daughter that he will now not be able to afford a larger apartment - and he agrees to become her agent as she continues to work with a returning sense of smell, and wants to re-enter the perfume industry that spurned her. He also finds a solution to the factory owner's problem - the smell of mown grass, something he remembers from childhood. Anne concurs and off-camera, works on a solution for the owners. Guillaume uses his new job to return to the custody tribunal, having secured his apartment, and gains joint custody of his daughter. The film ends with the two main characters entering Dior headquarters to pitch new perfumes.

The novel begins with a phone call between Asahi's husband, Muneaki, and his mother, Tomiko. When Muneaki brings up his job transfer, Tomiko offers to let the couple live in the house adjacent to hers, rent free. After a brief discussion, they both agree that the offer is too good to pass up. A quick flashback recounts a dialogue between Asahi and one of her coworkers from the temporary job she quit due to her husband's transfer in which they discuss how little respect they receive as temporary employees.
On the day of the move, Asahi notes that even though her new town is not that far away from her old one, it feels like an entirely different continent. Asahi's new life as a housewife is marked with boredom and a lack of mobility. Her husband requires the car for his work commute, and there is not much within walking distance besides the local supermarket. She comments on how time has lost its meaning for her. She opens the windows of her home and is overwhelmed by the sound of the cicadas. One afternoon, Asahi gets a call from her mother-in-law Tomiko asking her to deposit money at a nearby 7-Eleven. On her walk to the 7-Eleven, Asahi sees a large black animal which she follows off the path towards a river. Distracted by the sounds of shouting children, she falls in a hole which she is surprised to realize is exactly her size. Sera, Asahi's neighbor whom she had not met before this point, helps Asahi out of the hole and kills a bug that had latched onto Asahi's hand. When Asahi tries to introduce herself, Sera cuts her off, referring to Asahi as "the bride." They parts ways, and when Asahi finally reaches the 7-Eleven, she turns in the money and deposit slip only to realize Tomiko did not put enough money in the envelope, forcing Asahi to take out money at an ATM which is blocked by children. Later that day, Tomiko comes over to repay Asahi for the money she had to take out, but only gives her a fraction of the amount along with some popsicles. Later, when Asahi tries to talk to Muneaki about her encounter with the strange animal, he brushes her off.
The next morning, Asahi sees the large black animal again. She chases after it, but it disappears around a corner, leading Asahi to Tomiko's backyard where she meets a man who claims to be Muneaki's brother. Asahi notes that he was never mentioned to her by any of his family members. The brother-in-law, who has apparently been living in the backyard shed for twenty years, gives Asahi new information about the black animal, including the fact that it is the creature responsible for digging the holes such as the one Asahi fell into. He is surprised to hear that Asahi has fallen into one of these holes and wants to see where she fell. Upon arriving at the riverbank, Asahi is surprised to see children playing. After having no luck finding the hole, the brother-in-law begins to play with the children as Asahi heads back home.
Asahi and Muneaki spend the holiday of Obon with Asahi's parents before coming back home. Asahi wakes in the middle of the night to see Grandpa heading down the street. She quickly goes outside to follow him, meeting her brother-in-law along the way. They follow Grandpa to the riverbank where he falls into a hole. Asahi drops into a hole next to him. She finds the black animal at the bottom of her hole. Asahi and her brother-in-law have a personal conversation about his family when all of the sudden a bird plunges into the river. Asahi then escapes her hole and helps Grandpa out of his. They leave Asahi's brother-in-law as they head home. After leading Grandpa back inside, Asahi meets Tomiko and her husband who are quite surprised at what has happened. Asahi narrates that not long after this night, Grandpa died due to pneumonia.
At Grandpa's funeral service, Asahi goes out back to check the shed for her brother-in-law, but he is nowhere to be found. After a meal, Asahi cleans the dishes and checks the shed one more time, but there is nothing but dust and jars of centipedes inside.
The novel ends with Asahi getting a job at the 7-Eleven. After getting back home, she puts on her uniform in front of the mirror and looks at herself but only sees Tomiko looking back.

In 1935 England, a vicar living in Morley Hall murders his wife in a fit of jealousy and then takes his own life. Bishop Malachi asks the town physician to cover up the crime. Three years later, the new vicar, Linus Forster, moves into Morley Hall with his new wife Marianne and her young daughter Adelaide, who was born out of wedlock and masquerades as her niece. The couple's relationship becomes strained due Linus's struggle with intimacy, which he perceives as a sin. Meanwhile, Adelaide starts experiencing supernatural occurrences in the house. She's seen playing with strange dolls in the shape of monks and talking to invisible people. The mirrors in the house give delayed reflections, and soon Marianne starts to have unsettling hallucinations of shadowy figures, as well as premonitions, including the violent death of their deaf housekeeper Betsy. Marianne also relives traumatic memories of a time when she was institutionalized in a mental asylum during her pregnancy.
Occultist Harry Reed, who has extensively investigated the house's sinister history, warns Linus about it. The site originally hosted a monastery of the Minassian Order, which performed dark rituals and used torture to punish those who were deemed sinners. Bishop Malachi strongly objects to Harry's interference and openly threatens him. Harry answers denouncing Malachi's Nazi sympathies in public. Malachi arranges for Harry to be assaulted by two thugs under his service.
Marianne is encouraged by Betsy to meet with Harry, who's wounded but still refuses to leave. Harry warns Marianne that the house will turn its residents against one another, so the family should leave for their own safety. Back at the house, Linus is investigating his predecessor's death and discovers Malachi had lied to him, claiming the previous vicar and his family had moved to Australia. He also experiences a supernatural vision of Marianne committing adultery. This prompts a jealous argument between him and Marianne, particularly after he discovers that she has met with Harry. The following day, Marianne receives a visit from Malachi. He reveals to have been the one who returned Adelaide to her, after Adelaide was sent to an orphanage as a baby while Marianne was in the mental hospital. He also orchestrated Marianne's meeting with Linus and his current posting at Morley Hall. Malachi threatens to use his power to again take Adelaide away from Marianne if she were to try to leave the house.
Marianne's relationship with Adelaide grows increasingly sour, as the child has begun to talk to an unseen figure she claims is her real mother. The child then goes missing after walking into a mirror. Marianne unsuccessfully tries to seek help from a drunk Linus before approaching Harry, who agrees to help her. When they return to the house, they find that Betsy has been murdered by the now-possessed Linus, who is now in a trance. The murder scene is the same from Marianne's vision. Harry is able to pull Linus back to lucidity and explains that Adelaide has been abducted by the spirit of a pregnant woman who was murdered by the Minassian monks, as she was carrying their child. Linus performs a ritual from a book he retrieved among the previous vicar's possessions, to help Marianne retrieve Adelaide and confront the spirits haunting the house. Marianne is forced to experience nightmarish visions, some of which are related to her past, during which she proclaims that she is unashamed of what she has done. She manages to find and retrieve Adelaide, promising the murdered woman that they will give her and the unborn child a proper burial. They make good on their promise, however Bishop Malachi is shown at some later point digging up the bodies and delivering them to Nazi officials in Stuttgart.

''Type Lumina'' takes place in 2010s, in the new continuity first established by ''Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-'', ten days before the events of the visual novel, unlike the earlier entries in the ''Melty Blood'' series set in 2001, a year after a hypothetical Satsuki Yumizuka route of original ''Tsukihime'' and a month after ''Kagetsu Tohya''. Although some of the characters’ storylines alternatively take place during ''Tsukihime'' remake games ''-A piece of blue glass moon-'' and the upcoming ''-The other side of red garden''.
Unlike the first game in the series, ''Type Lumina'' does not have an overarching story with a single point of view; instead, each character has their own Story Mode that consists of multiple stages, with select encounters accompanied by conversations presented in a visual novel style, and an ending sequence. A Boss Rush story written by Kinoko Nasu unlocks after completing all individual scenarios.

Before they could escape with the nearby motorbike, they're confronted by their prison guard, who shoots Katyusha dead and is incapacitated by Kate. With her dying breath, Katyusha asks Kate to track down the girl in the painting.
Kate travels to Vaghen and tracks down the antique shop that sold the music case that housed the painting. While there she also installs the heart of Oscar, Hans Voralberg's automaton engineer, into a Voralberg-designed mechanical armadillo and revives her companion. The trail leads Kate to a remote mountain refuge on the outskirts of Vaghen, occupied by an elderly invalid, Leni Renner. Renner recounts her past with Dana, who had come to the refuge in the summer of 1937 to work as a waitress. The refuge at the time was hosting an expedition in pursuit of a proto-human specimen called the Gorun. The group is guided by a young alpinist named Leon Kovatsin, with whom Leni is deeply smitten. After an altercation with, Herr Hoss, the Brown Shadow officer supervising the expedition, Dana and Leon strike up a romance.
The expedition departs for Baltayar, where the Gorun is theorised to live. As the winter sets in, tensions in the expedition rise due to the lack of success and Leon finds out that some of the members of the group plan on making him the scapegoat for their failure. However, one member of the group, Sauer, finally finds the Gorun. As he runs off to fetch the rest of the group, Leon approaches the creature and strikes up an amicable relationship by tending to his wounds and feeding him his ration of hardtack biscuits. On the other hand, the expedition is far harsher than Leon in their treatment. The creature's wails attract his mother's attention and the group's leader tries to shoot her dead, Leon tackles and accidentally kills him. With the Goruns gone and their leader dead, the group ties up Leon for trial. However, Sauer confides to Leon that he doesn't agree with his colleagues and sets him free, and agrees to send his last letter to Dana.
Dana collapses at the news of Leon. It is revealed that she's pregnant with his child. Her parents, fearing public embarrassment, allow her to be taken to a remote sanatorium by their friends, the Zimmer family. Soon after her departure, the Roze household, as well as the rest of their district, is marauded by the Brown Shadow led by Hoss and Dana's parents are murdered in the pogrom. Following this discovery, Kate who had been tracking Dana's whereabouts is encountered by her hitherto elusive neighbour, "Colonel Blake" who turns out to be Frau Junta, a friend of Dana and a British-Austrian double agent who spied on the Brown Shadow on behalf of the British Secret Service during the war. She reveals that Dana's daughter Anna was stillborn and was buried in Baden island in western Vaghen. Following the loss of her child, Junta takes Dana to Britain, where she becomes an operative of the SOE. An assignment reveals that Leon was in fact alive and is operating a resistance network in Vaghen. Dana agrees to be air-dropped into Vaghen and coordinate a dangerous mission.
Kate confronts Leni Renner after three bodies, lost since the war, are retrieved by forensic pathologists. It is revealed that Leon survived the harsh Baltayar winter thanks to the Gorun tribe who took him in. As the war began, Leon returned to Vaghen to fight, and was accompanied by "Ludwig Hardtack", the young Gorun whom he helped before the war. Joined by Leni Renner, they operate out of the winter refuge against the Brown Shadow. Leni had been biding her time for Leon to forget about Dana, whom he believes to have been murdered in the Vaghen pogrom, but Dana turning up alive and rekindling her romance with Leon enrages her. She rats out the network to her father Gustav, a collaborator. The refuge comes under attack and Leon sets out to exfiltrate the civilians as Leni, Dana and Ludwig make a stand to cover them. Leni gets critically injured and as their numbers dwindle, Ludwig goes berserk to slaughter the rest of the attackers. However, the prolonged fighting trigger an avalanche, burying Leon and his charge, the Exners.
Following the war, Dana emigrates to the United States and becomes a renowned pianist. In the 1980s, she's shocked by the confession of a nun from her time at the sanatorium that the Zimmers, to whom she was entrusted during her labour and later coma, took her baby as their own and lied to her about the stillbirth. She tracks down her now-adult daughter, who is revealed to be Sarah Walker, Kate's mother. Deciding against revealing herself, Dana nevertheless briefly encounters a young Kate and accompanies her as they play the Hymn of Vaghen on her piano. Overcome with the reminiscence and vindicated in her belief that she and Dana Roze were related, Kate finally decides to return to New York with Oscar and mend fences with her loved ones. However, a nearby train bound for Baltayar triggers an epiphany that Dana may have gone there to live amongst the Gorun as she had planned to do with Leon. Running after the outbound train, she's helped aboard by Ludwig, who is also going home after Leni's passing.

Saracen king of the Tartars and emperor of Mongolia, Mandricardo is the son of Agricane, and an ally of Agramante (Saracen king of Africa who commands the kings of the countries subject to him, including Rodomonte and Mandricardo). In ''Orlando inamorato'' he discovers that his father was killed by Orlando, who also claimed Agricane's sword Durindana (''Canto I'').
In ''Orlando furioso'' he intends above all to avenge the death of his father. During this quest he meets and falls in love with the beautiful Doralice, princess of Granada, fiancee of Rodomonte (''Canto XIV''), later eloping with her and fighting his rival in love (''Canti XXIV'', ''XXVI'', ''XXVII''). Upon chasing Orlando the two duel for possession of the Durindana sword: but in the heat of the battle, Mandricardo's horse begins to flee and takes him well away from the place of the fight, followed closely by Doralice.(''Canto XXIII'').
Mandricardo finds Durindana and the pieces of armor that Orland threw away in his insanity and confronts Zerbino, who is on the place. He almost kills Zerbino, and would have done so if Doralice, at Isabella's request, hadn't asked him not to do it; the two go away. Zerbino soon perishes from many injuries sustained in the clash. Meanwhile, Mandricardo and Doralice meet Rodomonte, to whom the girl was betrothed: while the two are fighting, a messenger reaches them, because Marsilio has requested the intervention of all the knights scattered around the region to help against Carlo who is besieging the camps. Then, under pressure from Doralice, the two decide to suspend their resentment until the Christian threat is extinguished.(''Canto XXIV'')
In ''Canto XXVII'' Agramante decides to put order: the first question to be resolved is that between Rodomonte and Mandricardo for the love of Doralice. The choice is left to the girl, who chooses the second one: then Rodomonte in shame leaves the Saracen camp and heads into the woods. And then he in turn wants to challenge Mandricardo to a duel, but a strong confusion arises regarding the order of the duels.
At the court of Agramante, after the response in favor of Mandricardo, lots are drawn to decide who should fight the next duel: Agramante is desperate because in any case he will lose a precious fighter between Ruggiero and Mandricardo; just as Doralice also despairs for her beloved. The clash between the two Saracen warriors begins: Mandricardo seems to have the better, but in the end it is Ruggiero who gives the opponent the fatal blow(''Canto XXX''). Mandricardo's death causes great affliction in Doralice, who has been in love with him.

Afterward, he is approached by Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who tells him that taking the serum and killing the Flag Smasher was the right thing to do and says she will contact him in the future. Walker later visits his late partner Lemar Hoskins' family, and claims that the man he killed is the one who killed Hoskins.
Wilson returns to Baltimore to visit Isaiah Bradley, who discusses his past as a Black super soldier and how he was imprisoned after rescuing fellow soldiers who had also been experimented on before stating that a Black man would never be allowed to become Captain America nor should one want to. Wilson then returns home to Louisiana and helps his sister Sarah fix the family boat, with assistance from several locals as well as Barnes, who delivers a briefcase from the Wakandans to Wilson. Wilson and Barnes train with the shield and agree to move on from their pasts and work together.
Meanwhile, the Flag Smashers plan an attack on a Global Repatriation Council (GRC) conference in New York City. They are joined by Georges Batroc, who wants to kill Wilson and was released from prison by Sharon Carter.

Wearing a new Captain America uniform and flight suit from the Wakandans, Sam Wilson flies to New York to save the Global Repatriation Council (GRC) from the Flag Smashers' attack, with the help of Bucky Barnes and Sharon Carter, who had secretly traveled to New York. While Wilson fights Georges Batroc, the Flag Smashers take several GRC representatives as hostages. Wilson pursues a group of hostages taken in a helicopter, while Barnes pursues and intercepts a group in trucks. Karli Morgenthau sets one of the vehicles on fire to keep Barnes busy and escape with the other, but John Walker arrives and intervenes. Barnes succeeds in freeing the hostages from the burning truck and joins Walker in battling the Flag Smashers but is knocked into the pit of a construction site. Walker is overcome as well, and Morgenthau drives the remaining truck into the site. Walker chooses to let Morgenthau go to stop the truck from falling. Morgenthau and the remaining Flag Smashers attack him, and they all fall to the ground, but Wilson, having saved the hostages in the helicopter, arrives and catches the truck. As the hostages are freed, Batroc arrives and uses smoke grenades to allow the Flag Smashers to flee into the tunnels around the construction site.
Carter separates Morgenthau from the others and confronts Morgenthau for betraying her, revealing her identity as the Power Broker. Batroc attempts to blackmail Carter, but she kills him. Wilson comes to reason with Morgenthau, but Morgenthau refuses to listen to Wilson's pleas and fights with him once more, but when Morgenthau is about to shoot Wilson, Carter shoots her. Before dying, a tearful Morgenthau apologizes to Wilson. After the attack, Wilson convinces the GRC to postpone the vote to force the relocation of the Blip-displaced people that Morgenthau died fighting for and instead make efforts to help them.

Clive Anderson lives an idyllic life in the city-state of twenty-third century London. He is a child of privilege, the son of a powerful councilman, spoiled with manservants and private boats. His distant cousins the Sherrins are visiting, the golden-haired girl Miranda being of particular interest to Clive—he considers naming his boat after her. Clive is accustomed to luxury; his is a world of pleasure gardens and holiday islands, of nuclear-powered airships and "energy towers" powering the lights of the city. "Old London," along with the rest of the world, was all but destroyed during some cataclysmic event referred to as the "Breakdown," which annihilated much of the world's population, so much that the current population of London only numbers in the thousands. There are other people outside of the cities, within the "Outlands," but they are known to be savages and barbarians who hurl rocks at cars passing through the wilderness. Clive does not think about such things much, however.
While attending a party along the river, Clive overhears a schoolmate, Brian, questioning the role of their society's servants, asking "What right do we have to make them serve us?" It's explained that they are the descendants of people who became servile in exchange for entry into the paradisal cities and escape from the Outlands. Clive agrees with the other boys at the party that's it's absurd to question such things. That it is his ancestors who helped to build the world up again after the people of old ruined it. When Brian persists, arguing that London and the other cities of the world could hold ten times as much people as they do, they tell him he ought to go into the Outlands and join "Wild Jack," the infamous "bogeyman who would creep up from the Outlands, steal over the wall by night, and take back naughty children to his lair among the savages." Clive enjoys the rest of the party and doesn't think any more on the topic.
The day after, Clive is pulled from his class by the police. At first, he is unworried—he has never had issue with the law, not when they surround his father constantly. However, when he is intently questioned about what happened at the party, he comes to understand he is being accused of speaking Brian's treacheries. Clive has the opportunity to place the blame on Brian but decides against it, recognizing at last the seriousness of the situation. With his high-ranking father on holiday in the Mediterranean, Clive is unable to defend himself. He is taken upon an airship and from there is taken to a prison island for boys which have similarly disrupted the status quo.
It is a far cry from the comforts which Clive is accustomed to—sleeping upon the hard ground in a ramshackle tent crammed with twenty other miscreant boys, awful food, labor and the threat of the stockade. The island is a "training school" intended to beat out of the boys the "corruption" which has placed them against the will of society, which has made them "put self before citizenship." Their "redemption" will be accomplished through deprivation, work and obedience—only once they have been deemed to be proper citizens will they be allowed back to their old lives. The gray-suited guards are awful, but Clive isn't especially concerned to begin with, certain that his father will take care of everything once he's returned from vacation. He goes so far as to tell the island's commandant of his father's high-ranking position, seeking special privileges.
While on the island, Clive meets two others boys, Kelly and Sunyo, whom he quickly comes to rely upon as friends and confidants. The two other boys are well aware they've done more to “deserve” being sent to the island than Clive, and are unlikely to leave for a long, long time. When Sunyo discovers an old dinghy buried in the sand of the beach and expresses interest in using it to escape the island, at first Clive thinks it's crazy—the island is hard, but he's been given special treatment because of his father, and he's sure that he won't remain there much longer. However, soon Sunyo gets into trouble for striking a guard and is placed into the stockade. Days pass, his condition worsening, and with the guards uncaring Clive and Kelly fear Sunyo might die should he not be rescued. They know there'll be no use in springing him from the stockade should he still remain on the island after—and so the three make use of the boat to drift off into uncertain territories. Clive joins the two at the last moment, unsure even himself why.
They realize quickly the true madness of their scheme. They've left with no provisions and only a small idea of perhaps trying for the coast of France. The weather deteriorates; hunger, thirst and tiredness set in. The mast snaps and almost overturns the dinghy, forcing the boys to bail to stay afloat. Their hopes are brought high and dashed low when they spot an approaching airship which passes by without seeing them. After days of hardship, they at last reach a coast—only to find themselves stranded now in the Outlands. Clive and the other boys are terrified that they will be discovered by savages and horribly murdered, or eaten alive by wild beats, but they've no choice other than to trek into the forest in search of civilization. Clive misses breakfast in bed and his TV. He believes them to have washed ashore somewhere along the wilds of England, and thinks they might have a chance to make it to Southampton, where the Sherrins reside.
After a good bit of trekking, the boys discover a glimpse of civilization—a vegetable patch in the midst of the forest. They quickly partake of the tomatoes, only to realize they've been discovered by the horrible “savages.” They are brought to the club-wielding men's village and are kept confined in one of their primitive wooden huts for a while before their hands are tied and they are made to march again through the woods, eventually being brought before a fresh band of "men in green", residing deep in the wild. Clive has had a hard time understanding the people of the Outlands, recognizing that they are speaking English but in a coarser way he is unused to. As such, he is surprised to find here a tall bearded man with a “city accent,” who asks Clive to explain who they are. The bearded man is unsympathetic to Clive's recent troubles, for running away because “life was hard.” And he introduces himself as the infamous Wild Jack.
Made prisoners yet again, under Wild Jack's men now, Clive, Sunyo and Kelly look to perform another escape, but are unable even to get out from the log-walled hut they spend their night in. The green-clothed men treat them all with derision, calling them “city boys.” In the morning Wild Jack makes fun of their efforts and brings them out to take part in “the ordeal.” Clive fears what's to come as they are brought back into the forest, then to a ravine with a flimsy rope ladder slung across it. Wild Jack poses that it's a “little test,” to cross the bridge to the other side. Wild Jack explains that this place is called “Taipan Canyon,” for the deadly snakes which inhabit it—descendants of zoo animals escaped during the Breakdown. At knifepoint, another man is made to go first, and falls. Very quickly he collapses, clutching at his ankle. One by one the boys go next—Kelly first, then Sunyo, until it is Clive's turn. They all make it across; laughing, Wild Jack congratulates them, and from the bottom of the canyon the “dead man” stands as well; there were never any snakes within the ravine.
Wild Jack explains that it was a true test—to see whether the boys were suited at all towards life in the Outlands. They will not hold the boys any longer, if they do not want to stay; men “are all free in the Outlands.” Clive and the others partake in something of a feast back at camp in honor of their success, and afterwards talk with Jack as he feeds his homing pigeons. Wild Jack disapproves of the word “savages,” saying that it's only people everywhere—but that the people of the Outlands, at least, are free. He uses Kelly and Sunyo's imprisonment on the island as examples, and gets Clive to admit that the cities’ servants are not free either, and that the energy towers of the cities could be used to provide for far more people than they do. Wild Jack also reveals that the most of the people making up his “merry band” are not true denizens of the Outlands, but rather men from the cities who had good reasons to leave. For the first time, Clive recognizes that there might be some things wrong with the world he's come from—but still he clings to the idea that the people of the cities have a right to protect what they have from those that might try to take it.
For a while, the boys all join in the lives of the men in green. They are taught aspects of archery, learn to catch fish and ride on horseback. It is not all unpleasant, Clive finds. He swims in the stream and finds happiness in eating fish he has caught himself. When the time comes for them to decide whether they’d like to stay, Kelly and Sunyo both decide to remain—Clive, however, asks to be brought back.
The next day they bring Clive out through the woods to the highway. He does have second thoughts, understanding he is going to miss parts of the short life he's had in the Outlands, but is determined to stick to the decision he's made. He says his goodbye to his friends—the ones from the island, and the ones which he'd made among Wild Jack's band—and the man himself bids Clive well in his city life. Wild Jack gifts Clive one of his homing pigeons, as a reminder of everything, and after Clive walks up to the walls of Southampton. There he is taken in by his cousins the Sherrins, and while regaling them with the story of his travels he explains how the savages are not so bad as the cities make them out to be. Clive's come to think that there's no reason for the world to be so divided as it is. Back in the comfort of his cousins’ mansion, however, something is wrong—soon Clive comes to find the truth behind his imprisonment. Mr. Sherrin sought, through deception, to involve Clive with a subversive group and have him imprisoned so that his father would be forced to undertake rash action to save his only son. Clive is caught listening in and finds himself yet again locked away—he looks out towards the Outlands and thinks himself foolish, for walking right back into imprisonment when he'd at last, for the first time, experienced true freedom with Wild Jack and his band. Determined to do something, at least, he releases the pigeon gifted to him by the outlaw.
Brought again into interrogation by the police, this time the questions are about Wild Jack and his outlaws—all of which Clive refuses to answer, until eventually it is over and he is brought to a cell where he can see the forest. He falls asleep, and wakes to Wild Jack's voice—out the cell window there are horsemen in the street. They toss Clive a rope and he escapes through the window. The men in green are fighting with the policemen, bows and arrows against their guns. It seems impossible, but they are winning, and they ride out from the wall back into the Outlands. The outlaw felt there might be trouble, when the pigeon returned. They were able to win through smarts, breaking into the city alongside the scheduled police car, and through skill—Wild Jack claims “at close quarters a bow is a match for any gun.”
And they succeeded because the city men were fearful, and Wild Jack and his men were brave. “A brave man has half won his fight before he starts, even against heavy odds. But the heavier the odds, the braver he has got to be.”
Clive is saddened at the thought that he may never again see his parents, but at least now his father is safe from Mr. Sherrin's deceptions. Riding with Wild Jack, he returns to the forest, to Kelly and Sunyo, as Wild Jack proclaims they might “make an outlaw of him” yet.
The game is set in California, Earth in the year 2030. War, famine and plague have forced the populace into six different tribes, each fighting for control of the post-apocalyptic wastelands that remain.
Minna is a young girl who lives out in the rural country with her father, John, her mother Karen having left them to pursue her career as a singer. Minna struggles to adjust to the arrival of John's new wife, Helene, and her daughter Jenny, who regularly quarrels with Minna. While dreaming one night, Minna discovers a hole in the sky and notices blue creatures controlling her dream, who abruptly wake her up. Minna investigates the following night, discovering the blue creatures are Dreambuilders, responsible for designing peoples' dreams, and meets Gaff, her Dreambuilder. While hiding from the Inspector, Minna is knocked off her dream stage and into her father's, inadvertently altering his dream when she hands him a can of anchovies instead of the cake as was scripted.
Waking up, Minna discovers that, due to tampering with his dream, John now loves anchovies, and realizes she can influence people through their dreams. When Jenny threatens to have Minna's hamster, Viggo, taken to an animal shelter, Minna appeals to Gaff to help change Jenny's mind. Gaff reluctantly agrees and the pair interfere with Jenny's dream to include a mechanical, giant-sized Viggo. While in the dream world, Minna learns that if a dreamer is out of their dream stage for too long, they cease to exist. Upon waking up, Minna finds that Jenny has now taken a liking to Viggo, but is distraught to learn that Jenny has been mocking Minna's fashion sense to her Instagram followers. Resolving to fix Jenny, Minna again interferes with Jenny's dream, attempting to get her to like Minna's sweater. She's nearly caught by the Inspector, but manages to escape with the help of Milo, a former Dreambuilder who was demoted to janitor after inadvertently destroying a dream stage by altering the script.
Jenny panics upon learning she's wearing Minna's sweater and is wrought with anxiety at her bizarre changes in behavior, causing Helene to decide to move them back to the city. While packing, Jenny discovers Minna's journal containing images of her dream. Realizing Minna is somehow tampering with her dreams, Jenny threatens retaliation and gets Helene to reconsider moving. Jenny deliberately invokes jealousy from Minna by bonding with John, causing Minna to lash out at her family. Furious, Minna constructs a nightmare for Jenny, taking advantage of her arachnophobia by terrorizing her with spiders, including a mechanical, giant-sized one. However, the dream stage collapses, and Jenny plunges into the Dream Trash, where used sets are discarded, much to Minna's horror. The Inspector blames Gaff for the travesty and demotes him to janitor. In the real world, Jenny is placed in a coma. Remorseful, Minna reconciles with John and resolves to save Jenny.
In her dream, Minna meets her mother, who attempts to get her to stay in bed, but sees through the charade and discovers her to be an actor. With help from Gaff, Minna evades the Inspector and enters the Dream Trash, recovering Jenny. However, the tower leading out of the Dream Trash is destroyed, stranding them there. While fleeing from the out-of-control mechanical spider, Minna and Jenny hide in the ruined set of one of Jenny's former dreams, where Minna learns that Jenny's father left her and Helene years ago, blaming Jenny for the move. The two reconcile and find an old dream controller, using it to levitate several large objects to act as a ladder to one of the dream stages. They're pursued by the spider, but with help from Gaff, Minna manages to deactivate it. Jenny begins to fade to being away from her dream stage for too long, but Minna, Gaff and the Inspector manage to return her to her stage and wake her up in time. In the real world, Jenny awakens from her coma, to Minna's delight.
Minna, Jenny, John and Helene manage to come together as a family. In the dream world, Gaff, reinstated as a Dreambuilder, begins construction on a new dream.
In April 1997, a woman named Lina moves into 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. The house is dilapidated and full of objects that were left in it by previous occupants, and as the lonely Lina works on repairing and cleaning it, she records a video diary for her absent husband, who is a soldier in the United States Army. Worsening paranormal phenomena occurs in the house, which Lina eventually learns was the site of an allegedly possession-induced familicide that was committed by Ronald DeFeo Jr. back in 1974. After a few weeks, an unseen presence attacks and kills Lina.
In August 2016, a college student named George Harris is doing a video thesis on fear, and convinces his girlfriend, Sarah, his sister, Elizabeth, and their friends Lisa and Simon to accompany him on a camping trip to the woods near 112 Ocean Avenue. On their first night in the forest, George and Elizabeth encounter a woodsman who claims to be searching for his missing daughter, while a little girl dressed all in white is glimpsed by Simon. The next night, the quintet find the woodsman disemboweled shortly after the little girl is spotted by Elizabeth. The group try to flee the woods, but become lost despite spending several hours hiking while following their compass, with all of their attempts at calling for aid proving ineffective due to a lack of cellphone service and their radio emitting nothing but distorted screeching, which traumatizes Lisa.
Simon dies while searching for the little girl, and the increasingly distraught Lisa disappears after being lured off of the path by the child, who is invisible to George. Lisa and Elizabeth are killed, and George and Sarah become separated, with the latter stumbling onto and breaking into the vacant 112 Ocean Avenue. George soon enters the house, and calmly shoots himself in the head in front of Sarah (whose greatest fear was being left alone).
Sarah's fate is left unknown, as the film returns to the 1997 footage, which shows Lisa, looking exactly like she did in 2016 and speaking in a distorted child's voice, touch Lina's body and say, "Tag, you're it."
Maya is full of the joys of spring as she tries to wake the hive and Willy to let them know that spring has finally arrived, but the others went back to sleep. Maya and Willy went to the glow worms, but they took Maya and Willy up to wreck the hive and the precious sunstone, much to the displeasure of the Queen. Maya overhears that she and Willy are to be separated because of their calamitous partnership and she needs no further invitation to get away from the hive ‘to do something special’ in order to prove her and Willy’s worth to stay together.
This opportunity comes in the unexpected guise of a passing green ant who is on the run from the muscle-bound beetle boom-bugs, who are after the golden orb he’s carrying. The ant names him Chomp and hands the golden orb to Maya and Willy. They meet up with Arnie and Barney to take the orb back to Bonsai Peak. It turns out this golden orb is the egg of the ant princess whom she calls herself Smoosh, the heir to the ant kingdom. Willy at first thought Smoosh is too squishy. Maya holds Smoosh to greet him. But Smoosh doesn't understand Maya’s name, until it lets out a fart to Willy as a gift. Meanwhile at the hive, Crawley tries to fix the sunstone, but to no avail, much to his dismay. Miss Cassandra calls out that Maya and Willy has left the meadow.
Smoosh begins to cry so Willy tries to sing in panic until they were frightened by the ants again, Willy doesn’t think they can keep going and decided to stop and rest. Meanwhile, the hive is over the place trying to find Maya and Willy. Arnie and Barney make something to cool them down, Maya sings Smoosh a lullaby while placing a diaper on her, It was too dark and Smoosh was afraid. Willy sings a lullaby to her just like Maya did earlier, but feeling tired.
Chomp knows about Maya and Willy and follows Flip and Miss Cassandra to find Maya and Willy while Crawley stays behind. Arnie and Barney complain about their hatred of spiky trees with Maya joining in until they found Loggy Hollow, but they were caught by the beetles again. Maya and Willy found a wanted poster and Willy is ready to give up. They argued until they saw Smoosh disappeared. Maya throws a ball then grabs Smoosh and quickly flies away, she then found Willy, Arnie and Barney, until the beetles came back. They quickly rode on a leaf to get away until Rumba is caught in the river and needs saving quickly. Maya and Willy reconcile their arguments and decide to take Smoosh back to Greenleaf. Until Bumbulus, Henchie, and Boof blocks their path and sends them to a dark cave where they can't escape.
Maya becomes distressed when she realizes that they have failed their mission until Miss Cassandra, Flip and Chomp arrive to rescue them. Rumba make amends with Maya and Willy and they warn the ants of Greenleaf about Bumbulus' plan to dispose of Greenleaf and the only way to stop him is to sing a little song. Then a bird arrives and the fight began. Bumbulus was inside when Willy appeared. When the sun finally rises, they join together into a huge spider in the shadow, scaring away the birds. Afterwards, Maya and Willy reunite and Smoosh finally says Maya’s name. Bumbulus apologizes for his selfishness and Bonsai Peak is saved, thus protecting it from further threats. Maya and Willy are returned to the hive and the Queen congratulates them for their journey and decides to not separate them, and thus the spring festival finally now begins.
Degrassi High is planning on hosting a talent show, which has been named Showtime. Lucy Fernandez (Anais Granofsky) and Bronco Davis (L. Dean Ifill) are hosting auditions in the gym, and several other students, such as Caitlin Ryan (Stacie Mistysyn), Maya Goldberg (Kyra Levy) and Claude Tanner (David Armin-Parcells), are planning to audition. Caitlin and Maya discuss their nerves for the audition on their way to the gym, but are approached by Claude, who asks if Caitlin is planning to audition. She says she is, to which Claude replies so is he. Caitlin wishes him good luck. Claude asks her if they could rekindle their relationship, but Caitlin scoffs and walks away, telling Maya she wished Claude would leave her alone. Joey Jeremiah (Pat Mastroianni) and Archie "Snake" Simpson (Stefan Brogren) are also planning to audition
When Claude is called to audition, he recites a very morbid poem. Joey snickers at him, but Snake tells him to stop and let him finish. Bronco cuts off Claude, telling him that while his poem was good, it wasn't right for the show, as it was too serious for the otherwise good-natured intentions of the talent show. Angered, Claude storms out, calling everyone a "bunch of sheep". While Joey laughs at him, Snake begins to show concern. Joanne Rutherford (Krista Houston), his friend, follows Claude out and tells him that she cares, but Claude, while thanking her for being supportive, retorts that "you don't know what it's like to be me" and leaves.
Back in the gym, Joey and Snake do their act, which consists of wearing big sombreros with faces drawn on their shirtless bodies, dancing to "Everybody Wants Something" by their band The Zit Remedy. The next day, Claude approaches Caitlin at her locker holding a white rose. Caitlin refuses to take the rose, and tells him to stop harassing her. Claude tells her that he won't bother her anymore and that he came to say goodbye. An unmoved Caitlin asks him where is he going, to which he backs and walks away. Caitlin scoffs to Maya, "What a creep!".
Claude goes to his locker and opens it. Scott Smith (Byrd Dickens) passes by and tells Claude that he will be late for class, but Claude responds that he won't be going to any more classes, as Degrassi has never done anything for him. Scott scoffs that he will get in trouble and walks away. Claude says "No...I won't". As the hallways empty, Claude produces a gun from his bag and walks in the direction of the boys washroom, leaving his locker open.
In class, Mr. Walfish (Adam David) is speaking to his class about Shakespeare's ''Macbeth''. The class gets into an enthusiastic discussion about the book, and Mr. Walfish says he'd like to hear from some new students. Snake raises his hand and when he is called on, he asks to use the bathroom. Snake leaves as the class chuckles at him. He walks right past Claude's locker without realizing that it's been left open. Snake walks up to a stall where he notices a shoe sticking out from the bottom and blood. When he pushes the stall open, he sees Claude's body (although the viewer doesn't). Stunned, Snake backs away and dashes to Mr. Raditch (Dan Woods)' office to inform him of what he had just seen. Raditch then tells the school secretary to call the police.
Despite the sounds of sirens outside, the talent show auditions continue, with everyone unaware of the current situation. Later, students begin to notice that something has happened, with the washroom closed off by police. Various students express annoyance at having to walk across school to use the other bathroom instead. Luke Matthews (Andy Chambers) suggests to Yick Yu (Siluck Saysanasy) that it was probably a drug bust. Dale (Cameron Graham) tells Derek "Wheels" Wheeler (Neil Hope) that he saw an ambulance and stretcher.
Each class is then informed of Claude's suicide. In Mr. Walfish's class, where he begins by saying a student had died and it looked like a suicide, the reaction is initially silent, until Tessa Campanelli (Kirsten Bourne) asks who it was. When Walfish says it was Claude, Caitlin is stunned. The reactions to the suicide are mixed, with some students, such as Lucy and Christine "Spike" Nelson (Amanda Stepto), arguing that it was selfish for him to commit suicide, because now everybody has to suffer. One of the teachers tells the class that there is no right way to react to the situation, and informs them that school would be let out early. Cindy (Marsha Ferguson) declares that Claude is "going to hell", as suicide is a sin, and breaks down.
Caitlin and Maya head out of the school together and Maya asks Caitlin if she'd like to go for a walk. Caitlin feels guilty about the suicide, because Claude tried to speak to her, but she told him to go away, and that she should have just spoken to him. Maya says that Caitlin only told him to go away because he was bothering her, and that she had broken up with him over a year prior, and that it wasn't her responsibility to speak to him. Caitlin wonders if she could have made a difference, but Maya insists that Caitlin wasn't the reason for the suicide, and that he clearly had a lot of problems. She wonders aloud why Claude didn't ask for help.
Joey waits by his locker after school and asks Tim O'Connor (Keith White) if he knew where Snake was. Throughout the halls, students ask and wonder why Claude killed himself. Joey waits for a few more moments for Snake, unaware that Snake was the student who found Claude's body, before just closing his locker and leaving the school alone.
Bronco and Lucy head into the auditorium together so that Bronco can retrieve his binder. Bronco blames himself for Claude's suicide, saying that he should've just let him do his monologue the previous day. Lucy tells him that thinking that way is ridiculous, and that there's no way that Claude killed himself over the messy audition. Bronco ignores her, and tells Lucy that they need to cancel the talent show, that it wouldn't be right to have the show. Lucy doesn't want to cancel it, since it's not for another two weeks and tries telling Bronco that they put a lot of work into the show and can't just cancel it now.
Caitlin arrives home that evening as her mother (Dona Hird) is getting ready to go pick up Caitlin's father (Martin Brown), whose car has broken down. Before she leaves, she asks Caitlin when she got a new boyfriend. Caitlin is confused and says she isn't dating anyone new. Mrs. Ryan smiles and says that someone sent Caitlin flowers. Caitlin hurries to open the package, smiling. The box contains a bouquet of white roses and a note. Caitlin reads the note and her smile fades as she realizes who it's from.
Caitlin gets angrier and more upset as she reads, before crumpling up Claude's note and throwing the bouquet to the floor.
A group of students, led by Lucy and Bronco, convene in the gym and discuss the future of the talent show. Joanne argues it is disrespectful to hold the talent show after someone died, but Lucy argues back that not everything has to stop just because of what happened, stating, "He's gone...we're still here..life has to go on." Joanne gets angry and storms out of the gym. Spike puts her hand up and suggests they hold the talent show as a benefit for Claude's family, a proposal which is unanimously agreed upon. After the meeting is over, Maya and Caitlin discuss Claude. Caitlin expresses she is glad that "we are not letting that creep ruin everything", and that she would never attend a "suicide's funeral". She vows that she will not let Claude's affect her.
In science class, Mr. Webster (John Weir) pairs Joey, who is having trouble and Caitlin, who hears Claude calling her name in her head, for a project. In the hallways, Wheels asks Joey the whereabouts of Snake, to which Joey says he's taking time off. He also asks Joey about rumors that it was Snake who found Claude, which Joey confirms.
Joey approaches Snake at his home while fixing his bike. He asks Snake when is he coming back, to which Snake responds his therapist recommended he return when he is ready. He then tells Joey that when he found Claude, half of his face had been removed, and said that he thought he would "resemble a person", but that he was "just dead". He laments that if he had gotten there sooner, he might have been able to stop him, and starts to become extremely anxious. Joey asks him if there is anything he can do. After a few moments, Snake softly pushes Joey, which leads to a play-fight that lightens the mood.
At night, Caitlin dreams of watching Claude in the gym reciting his poem while holding the same white rose. When she gets up, she sees Claude again, this time at the exit door. She looks back again to see the Claude on stage descend and walk up to her holding the rose. It then cuts to Caitlin in her bed, mumbling "No...".
After science class the next day, Caitlin invites Joey to her place to do the project. When she sifts through her locker, she discovers a peace symbol earring that Claude had given to her in a previous episode, as he sported the other one. Angered, Caitlin throws it on the floor. At her house, she shows a defensive attitude to Joey, who is making light-hearted jokes, but the two make progress on the project. Later, after Caitlin fixes Joey a drink, Claude is brought up, and Caitlin mumbles that he was "messed up". Despite Joey's constant questioning, Caitlin declares she doesn't want to talk about it. Joey tells Caitlin that she keeps bringing it up, and asks her why she doesn't want to talk about it.
Caitlin tells Joey that she didn't mean to hurt Claude, but Joey responds that he hurt Caitlin and everybody else, as he wanted everyone else to be "crying and have a big memorial". He further states that Claude is a pig, but Caitlin breaks down and says he loved her, but Joey responds that he wanted to hurt her and make her feel guilty, and not give him the satisfaction. Caitlin and Joey embrace.
At the talent show, Bronco introduces Joanne, who ushers in the talent show with a speech where she states that the show is for anybody who feels depressed, and that she wished Claude could be there. After this, the talent show commences. Backstage, Joey tells Caitlin that Snake didn't want to come back, so Wheels is taking his place instead for their talent show act. Caitlin thanks Joey for listening to her.
The plot of ''Maverick Hunter X'' follows the original game's story closely, with a few changes. In 21XX, an archaeologist named Dr. Cain discovers X, Dr. Thomas Light's last creation before his death, and uses X's design to create a series of robots called "Reploids"; as the years go on, crimes performed by Reploids start to rise, which leads to the creation of the Maverick Hunters (Irregular Hunters in Japan), a group of Reploids tasked with disabling other Reploids who may pose a threat to humans.
After an encounter with one Maverick named Zero, the leader Sigma unexpectedly turns Maverick himself, leading X and the reformed Zero to stop him from creating a Reploid uprising.
X sets out to defeat 8 of Sigma's followers, receiving armor upgrades from Dr. Light along the way. After defeating all 8 of Sigma's followers, Zero contacts X with information on Sigma's base. X and Zero infiltrate Sigma's base, with both of them eventually encountering Vile, an ex-Maverick Hunter who escaped prison thanks to Sigma. Zero tries to fight him alone, but is defeated. X is quickly subdued by Vile, but Zero sacrifices himself to destroy Vile's Ride Armor. X then defeats Vile, and Zero gives X his buster (if X doesn't have Dr. Light's) to defeat Sigma. X defeats Sigma, destroying his base, and mourns Zero's death.
Playing as Vile provides a slightly different story. Vile is freed from prison by Sigma, yet refuses to join his rebellion, as he refuses to see X's potential. Vile defeats 8 of Sigma's followers to prove himself more worthy than X. Intrigued, Sigma invites Vile to his base to see his power in action, around the same time X and Zero infiltrate the base themselves. Vile is cornered by both X and Zero, but defeats them both and taunts X, preparing to execute him. Zero distracts Vile just long enough for X to fire a charge shot, incapacitating Vile. Sigma approaches Vile, asking what he was planning to do after defeating X. Vile answers that he doesn't know, he just wanted to be superior to X. Vile dies, feeling that he validated his existence by defeating X.
While getting prepared for their first day at Degrassi High School, Erica Farrell (Angela Deiseach) suddenly becomes sick and runs into a bathroom to vomit as her sister Heather (Maureen Deiseach) expresses her excitement at the new school. At Degrassi High, many of the students from junior high school reunite with each other. As Erica and Heather approach the school, they are met by Christine "Spike" Nelson (Amanda Stepto) and Liz O'Rourke (Cathy Keenan), the former of who is now taking her daughter Emma to a daycare nearby the high school. Although Heather is excited to see them, Erica looks on, emotionless. In school, Grade 10 students Dwayne Myers (Darrin Brown) and his friends Tabi (Michelle Johnson-Murray) and Nick (George Chaker) express their dismay at the influx of the younger students and they decide that "initiation" should be brought back "unofficially". Erica and Heather meet up with Lucy Fernandez (Anais Granofsky) and L.D. (Amanda Cook), where Heather tells them that Erica had a romance over the summer; a camp counselor named Jason. Erica, not amused, says Jason was a jerk and leaves. Heather explains that the two had a fight and broke up before they left the camp and then tells them that Erica lost her virginity to him, despite having only known him for two months. After Joey, Snake and Wheels meet their junior high teacher Ms. Avery (Michelle Goodeve), Dwayne bumps into Joey and then blames him, Snake and Wheels for burning down the school and explains his plans to initiate the three of them despite the school having banned initiation. After noticing Erica's behavior at school, she consoles her back at home and the two decide to buy a pregnancy test. Back at school, Snake is targeted in the initiation He later returns to Joey and Wheels covered in white powder as Joey and Wheels run away. As the twins wait for the pregnancy tests, Erica suggests having an abortion, which Heather disagrees with, telling her abortion is wrong. The results come back and she tests negative. Later at school, Erica says her period is still late and decides to buy another pregnancy test which Heather agrees with. In the halls, Wheels is next for initiation and returns to Joey and Snake in the cafeteria covered in shaving cream. Snake and Wheels tease Joey, who is next. Back at home, Erica awaits her test results.
Her results return and Heather jokes she can finally use the washroom. When she is out of sight, Erica appears to be stunned, implying that the test came back positive. Back at the school, Erica and Heather meet Spike and Liz again. Erica asks Spike how horrible it was being pregnant, which Heather feels is an offhand question. Spike explains that she felt like an outcast and had no social life but that she still loved Emma. In communications class, Erica sparks a class debate about abortion, which Spike refuses to participate in, feeling that because it was wrong for her, it did not mean it was wrong in general. Later on, Erica goes to an abortion clinic, where she is swarmed by anti-abortion protesters. She is led inside the clinic by a worker, who explains the procedure to her. Joey continues to hide from the initiation. At home, Erica reveals she lied to Heather about the results of the second test, that she had a third done at the clinic and that she's made an appointment for an abortion. Heather vehemently disagrees and despite Erica pleading her to come with her, a panicked Heather refuses. Joey is later caught and undergoes initiation; while he is being dragged up a ramp while rolling a banana under his nose, the three leave, just as Joey is approached by Mr. Raditch (Dan Woods), who tells Jeremiah that he is the new vice principal, and takes him to his office for a "little chat". After class, Heather pulls Spike aside and asks her if she'd ever thought about having an abortion. Spike says that she did and that she felt it was wrong to have one but clarifies that it was her choice and Erica (who Heather doesn't name) feels it is right for her. Spike tells Heather: "Y'know, it's great to have high ideals and stuff but when you're in that situation, right and wrong, they can get really complicated." Back at the clinic, protesters are still circling outside. This time, Heather is with Erica and the two go together, where they are swarmed (and in Erica's case the second time) by the protesters. As they make it to the top of the stairs, one protester holds up a plastic fetus and the two are led inside by the woman.

Two friends, David (McClusky) and Marky (Kaneti-Dimmer), are riding their bikes home one evening when they stumble upon a gate opening to an abandoned worksite. Tempted by urban exploration, the pair enter the site and happen upon a homeless man, Jack (Wilson), who's been living at the factory. Jack tells the boys a dark tale about a school girl called Melissa, who was said to have made friends with an old gypsy woman. The girl's father didn't approve of their new friendship and interfered. The following day, Melissa received a blue crystal necklace from the gypsy which had a curse placed upon it. The curse was meant as punishment on the girl's father and would see him condemned to live out his remaining years as a hideous feathered creature. His transformation led him to abandon his family never to return, but one evening Melissa caught sight of her father and made several drawings. Her father suffered from separation anxiety and visited Melissa in the garden one night, where she gave him the drawings as a keepsake. Jack concludes the tale "...and he never came back".
Marky grows impatient and explores the worksite by himself, leaving David in the company of Jack. Marky enters a derelict barn house and in a broken mirror spots the reflection of a feathered monster stalking him. He panics and runs back to David to reveal what he's seen. David encourages Marky to show him and the pair return to the barn house before discovering the same monster stalking them both. They escape the creature before locking themselves inside a toilet facility, but the monster returns and tries to break in through the window. David fights it off and they decide to stay put. Meanwhile, two drunks, Charlie (Easterbrook) and Andy (Walters), are stumbling their way home, but their journey gets sidetracked when Andy enters the worksite. They both rest in the site for a while before Andy is attacked by the creature. Charlie tries to save his friend but realises it's too late so he hides to save himself. David and Marky cautiously leave the toilet facility in the barn house without encountering the monster. They begin exploring the site and find weapons. David decides to search an old dilapidated caravan and when the pair enter inside they find Charlie hiding there, he explains that his friend has been killed by a "Birdman". David and Marky offer to help Charlie but they agree that they first need to find Jack. As the group move across the site in search of Jack, they happen upon a unit building with a shrine set out on a table and drawings surrounded by candles. Jack appears from the shadows and confirms the group having witnessed "the Bird", and reveals that nobody can leave or "it'll get ya". Charlie loses his patience and runs to escape the site, but in his efforts he succumbs to the wrath of the feathered monster and gets killed. The creature then turns it's sights on David and Marky and begins chasing them, teleporting to capture its prey. David trips over and gets cornered by the monster but Marky creates a distraction for his friend, and with the creature following Marky, David runs to safety and hides separating the pair. The Ravenstein monster patrols its territory in the moonlight searching for its hidden prey before disappearing into the shadows. Marky rejoins David and they devise a plan to draw the creature away from the gate at the entrance to the site and go for help. David scouts the worksite unaware that the feathered creature remains hidden in the shadows watching him. Marky spots the monster and signals to David who encourages Marky to make a run for it. David lures the Ravenstein creature into Jack's hideout buying Marky time to escape. David's father, Ray (Eade), drives past the site in search of his son and notices David's bike laid on the ground covered in blood. Concerned, Ray investigates the site and soon discovers a unit building is being accommodated by a homeless person. On further investigation, Ray finds David hiding in terror and armed with a weapon. Ray queries David, but his son urgently exclaims that they have to leave because of the monster. Jack returns to his hideout and reunites with his previous employer, informing him that "You can't leave now, Ray". David learns that his dad knows Jack and that the worksite is his dad's old business premises, and the frustration and stress that's caused his dad to snap at him recently is a result of the tragic events that occurred and led to the conclusive end of his dad's business. David learns his dad and Jack were the only survivors of the murderous rampage by the feathered monster. Jack reminds David of the mysterious drawings in the shrine and asks if he's "figured it out yet?". David and Ray notice Jack's voice begin to change while he's speaking, and then his body movements and mannerisms twitch and contort uncontrollably. Jack moans in agony as the process of transformation begins and the Ravenstein Monster takes form. David and Ray are cornered in the hideout. They outsmart the creature and attempt to escape the site but the monster teleports blocking their way out. Ray apologises to his son believing this to be the end having lost hope and running out of ways to escape, but David has a moment of clarity and shows his dad the unit building with the shrine and the drawings. Ray confesses that he knew about Melissa's drawings but he could never figure out the meaning of her writing the phrase; "Home is where the heart is." Then after searching through Melissa's drawings it occurs to Ray that her drawing of an egg must suggest that the feathered monster has laid an egg somewhere in the site. David confirms his belief stating, "This whole place is it's nest!". They devise a plan to search for the egg and lead the Ravenstein monster out of its nesting ground. David takes his dad to an unexplored dilapidated barn and there they discover the creature watching over its nest. David creates a distraction enticing the feathered beast to search the area of disturbance. Meanwhile, Ray advances into the Bird's nest and takes the egg, but the monster attacks Ray who finds himself on the ground beneath the feathered creature helpless and moments from death. Marky suddenly appears and attacks the Birdman with a chair, saving Ray in the process. But not long after Marky saves Ray, then the foul feathered monster reappears and impales Marky in the spine with its claws, killing him instantly. David is horrified by Marky's death and cries out. Ray grabs the egg and quickly runs to David carrying it. Upon leaving the nesting ground, David takes possession of the egg, when Ray unexpectedly stumbles and falls over and injures himself. Ray insists he takes responsibility of the egg but David is reluctant to hand it over to him. He eventually gives in to his dad's request and the pair run towards Ray's car parked at the gate entrance. Ray notices David begins mounting his bike instead of getting in the car and queries him over it. David panics and insists they should leave the egg behind but his dad believes they have to take it to the police. An argument ensues between them opening old wounds in their relationship, when suddenly the monster teleports inside Ray's car and attacks him to regain possession of the egg. Ray throws the egg to David who cycles off with it, but the feathered creature follows David and teleports in front of him cutting his journey short. In the confusion, David loses the egg but can't find it. He turns around to see the monster lifting it from the ground and cradling it before approaching him with its claws drawn and raised. David lifts his arm in defence but then notices his dad speeding towards the Birdman and rolls out of the road before the car runs head on into the monster. Believing the creature to be dead, Ray examines the body first and then approaches the car, but the Ravenstein Monster was playing possum and makes a surprise attack on Ray, dragging him to the ground. Ray calls out to David to open the bonnet of the car. He struggles to reach a chainsaw from under the bonnet, so he kicks the monster across the road and picks himself up before turning around to face the feathered creature wielding the chainsaw. Ray approaches the Ravenstein Monster and saws the creatures head off. Ray picks up the decapitated head and throws it into the bushes. He approaches David and they both get seated inside the car and drive away. The lost egg is revealed in one piece and begins to hatch.

Bee, a working-class young woman from Eastern Europe, travels with her wealthy lover Sophie to a "hurricane party" at a mansion owned by the family of Sophie's childhood friend David. Upon arrival, Bee is introduced to the other guests, including David, his actress girlfriend Emma, vacuous podcaster Alice, her much-older boyfriend Greg, and the enigmatic Jordan. Another guest, Max, left prior to Bee and Sophie's arrival after a fight with David. Greg impresses the group by opening a champagne bottle with a kukri, and the party begins as the storm descends on the house. After drinking, using drugs, and dancing, the group decides to play "Bodies Bodies Bodies," a murder in the dark-style game. The game goes poorly, and after an argument, David storms off. The power goes out, and Bee finds David outside with his throat slashed, the blood-stained kukri nearby. Bee, Sophie, Emma, Jordan, and Alice try to go for help in Sophie's car to get help, only to find its battery dead.
The group immediately begins to squabble over who might have killed David. Greg is suspected after the group discovers a knife in his suitcase, as well as a map with the mansion circled. They confront Greg, who was asleep in the mansion's gym, oblivious to the chaos. Initially disbelieving, Greg becomes hostile during the confrontation, and after a struggle, Bee kills him using a kettle bell. Tensions continue to rise during an argument over the identity of the killer. While patrolling the mansion, Sophie runs into Emma, who kisses her, much to Sophie's confusion and displeasure. Alice later finds Emma dead at the bottom of a flight of stairs. Jordan and Alice cast suspicion on Bee, revealing that no person with her name is on record as having graduated from her college; the two of them cast Bee out of the mansion into the hurricane while Sophie looks on.
Returning to Sophie's car, Bee finds a pair of underwear she recognizes as matching a bra of Jordan's in the backseat. She sees Jordan holding a gun through a window, and crawls back into the mansion through a pet door. Bee confronts the group, revealing that she dropped out of college her freshman year to take care of her mother, who suffers from borderline personality disorder. Jordan expresses disbelief, and a vicious fight ensues between Sophie, Jordan, and Alice, during which Jordan expresses resentment and contempt for Sophie due to her drug addiction and reveals to Bee that they recently had sex; Sophie attacks Jordan and reveals that Jordan only "hate-listens" to Alice's podcast. After Alice insults Jordan's parents, Jordan takes out the gun and shoots Alice in the leg. A struggle for the weapon ensues, and Alice is fatally shot in the throat. Sophie follows Jordan up the stairs; after another fight, Bee attacks Jordan, pushing her over the bannister and causing her to fall to her death on a pile of glass liquor bottles. With her dying breath, she tells Bee to check Sophie's texts.
The next day, after the storm has blown over, Sophie tearfully confesses to Bee that she relapsed and witnessed Emma falling down the stairs to her death. However, the distrustful, traumatized Bee holds her girlfriend at gunpoint, demanding to see her texts. Sophie tosses the phone away and the two struggle, inadvertently picking up David's phone in the process, which reveals that David accidentally slashed his own throat while trying to imitate Greg's champagne bottle trick for a TikTok video—revealing there was no real murderer after all. As Bee and Sophie realize the night's bloodshed was all for nothing, a confused Max returns to the mansion, and the power comes back on.

Hyuk is hospitalized with Hepatitis B. While the other patients as well as his own parents keep their distance, nurse Da-eun (Chae Soo-bin) ignores them and willingly takes care of him. As time goes by, Hyuk and Da-eun grow closer with the overworked Da-eun even eating and resting on his hospital bed.
A few days before Hyuk would be discharged from the hospital, Da-eun appears to be distant. The downcast Hyuk returns home. But, being unable to forget Da-eun, he manages to find out her phone number and gives her a call. She eventually invites him to come over to her house, and he stays the night. In the morning Da-eun wakes up to find that Hyuk replaced the broken lamp in her hallway and prepared breakfast for the two of them. Touched by the gestures, they share a brief kiss.
After a while, Da-eun tells Hyuk that she won tickets to Jeju Island for Christmas, and she invites him to join her. Da-eun buys them matching shoes, which he happily accepts, hell-bent on losing weight.
In the next scene we see a slim Hyuk (Jang Ki-yong) running in the park wearing the same sneakers. A hard working engineer, he is soon told by his superior that he will be dispatched to a big company in Seoul. This means that there will be a long commute from Incheon to Seoul and that if he does well he might be granted a permanent position at the firm. However, on his first day, he finds out there is another candidate; this means that he would not be guaranteed a permanent position at the end of his contract. The other candidate, Bo-yeong (Krystal Jung), turns out to be very competitive, regularly undermining him to make herself look better in the eyes of their superior.
At a board meeting where the team presents a new bridge design based on a proposal by Bo-yeong, Hyuk points out that there is a critical flaw in the design that would lead to a collapse if the bridge would ever be hit by a tsunami. A humiliated Bo-yeong is told to fix the problem together with Hyuk. While Hyuk leaves early she works throughout the night without taking a rest. At the start, Hyuk takes pleasure in seeing her suffer, but he eventually takes pity on her, and they end up working together to fix the problem. The two start bonding and they continue working on more projects together.
Meanwhile, some strain is showing on the relationship of Hyuk and Da-eun, with both of them regularly working late and Hyuk becoming increasingly frustrated at having to commute between Incheon and Seoul. He usually comes home tired and shows little interest in Da-eun. One night when he comes home Da-eun complains about him not having fixed the broken light bulb and his refusal to take out the trash. When they start arguing she tells him that she hasn't had her period, and it turns out that she is expecting his child, which she aborts later on.
Rather than being pleased, it seemed to frustrate Hyuk even more. As he realizes he has feelings for Bo-yeong, he starts to distance himself from her and focuses on Da-eun. However, this eventually starts to impact his work. Bo-yeong confronts him and tells him that both of their performance will suffer. Hyuk agrees to work late, and he starts doing overtime again, leaving Da-eun alone at home.
One evening, Da-eun and Hyuk were seen going out together. Hyuk shows no interest in spending time with Da-eun and continuously complains about the crowd and repeatedly says that he wants to eat and go home. Back in the car Da-eun complains that Hyuk never wants to spend time with her anymore. Hyuk brushes it off and accidentally calls her his "pretty Bo-yeong". They get into a big argument in which he denies Da-eun's claims that he's cheating on her. He eventually drops her off at their once shared house as he drives off in a fury.
Back in Seoul, Bo-yeong and Hyuk are once again working overtime. With all their time spent together and the gradually growing sexual tension between both of them, Hyuk kisses Bo-yeong. Both of them eventually get romantically involved. After a while, Hyuk becomes restless and appears to be longing for Da-eun again. When neither Bo-yeong or himself is offered a permanent position by the firm, Hyuk tells Bo-yeong at the firm's team dinner that he will return to his previous position in Incheon. She in turn tells him that she will study abroad as her old job is also not a permanent contract. In the background the team manager announces that they can win a free Christmas trip to Jeju.
Hyuk hearing this thinks of the Jeju trip he was supposed to go on with Da-eun that Christmas. Coincidentally, their flight was meant to be that very evening. Realizing he still loves Da-eun, he rushes to the airport in a taxi. As he pulls up at the airport, he sees Da-eun standing on the sidewalk in front of the airport building. Jumping out of the taxi, he sees her supposedly waving at him. He runs towards her but bumps into someone and falls over.
The man he ran into turns out to be the Hyuk shown in the first part of the film. The scene is the same one from earlier when Da-eun gave the matching pair of sneakers. It is revealed that the Hyuk from the start of the film is a different Hyuk than the one from the main part of the film. Both storylines happened simultaneously, and it turns out Da-eun bonded with Hyuk while she felt neglected by her partner Jang-Hyuk and because he did all the things Jang-Hyuk didn't do, such as fixing the light bulb. Both of them leave on the trip for Jeju while Jang-Hyuk returns to the party in shock. Bo-yeong later reveals to him that she had just won the Christmas trip to Jeju and that they could go together, and, despite his feelings for Da-eun, he tells Bo-yeong he loves her.
As described in a film magazine, on the eve of his wedding, Tom Hayden (Denny) entertains the boys in "The Honeymoon Trailer," an elaborate transcontinental bus he has rigged up for the bridal tour. The bus gets out of control and goes down a gulley. Tom is taken to the hospital, where he regains consciousness and remembers that his bride Betty (Olmstead) is waiting. With the help of his faithful black Sambo (Wilson), he escapes through the window to an ambulance in which an insane woman has just been delivered to the hospital. He dresses while Sambo drives. The insane woman jumps from beneath the bedclothes, embraces him and calls him her long lost lover, making a scene in front of the house of the bride, who scorns him. Betty’s father orders him out and Tom’s own dad disowns him until he has cut out the mad capers and proven himself a man. The families of Hayden and Browne, hitherto friendly enemies — due to the fact that the car manufactured by Hayden has always beaten the car manufactured by Browne, who claims that Hayden’s car could not beat him with anybody but Tom driving — are now bitter enemies, and the merger that would have taken place with Tom’s marriage to Betty is now off. Tom takes his trailer and starts for the West. Sambo sells Southern style chicken dinners to the tourists to make expenses. Nearing California, he meets the Brownes in an auto camp. They shun him, but Betty tearfully longs for him. They are accompanied by Creighton Deane (Gerrard), who has offered financial assistance to Browne’s concern and counts on marrying Betty. Betty, freezing in her tent at night, ventures to call on Tom in his nice warm bus during the absence of her parents who are visiting a nearby circus. A big storm is brewing and he induces her to exchange sleeping quarters with him. The storm breaks up the circus and the wild animals escape, creating havoc in the auto camp. Tom enters Betty’s tent, where he sees a lion. He jumps out of the tent into the arms of Betty’s father and mother. He warns them not to go in, but they enter in a rage, then flee in fright. Tom gets to the bus and starts out with Betty, followed by the Browne family, who are chased by a bear, but catch the bus and are saved. Browne sees Tom in the car ahead with his daughter and orders him to “stop his car.” Tom obliges by cutting off the trailer and letting it stand while he drives to Los Angeles with Betty. Arriving, he is arrested and jailed for kidnapping on the telegraphed charge of Browne. The elder Hayden, who has refused to bail out his scapegrace son, meets Browne. They have their usual spat about the merits of their cars on the eve of the races and agree to a bet of $50,000. Both get the bright idea of bailing Tom out and clinching the race with his expert driving. They go to the jail and bid for his services. Browne wins by offering his daughter as the prize. Tom drives the Browne Special and is in the lead when the jealous Deane sees him and demands that Browne take him out and put him back in jail or he will withdraw his financial support. They get a warrant for him and are about to serve it as he stops to put on a tire. The warrant blows away and Tom starts out to regain his lost lap. In the last lap his car takes fire. To the grandstanders the game is lost, but with heroic grit Tom sticks and wins. In the face of victory nobly won, all family objections vanish. Tom embraces Betty, who comes up smiling with a face full of motor grease.

The action takes place within a circus in a large city in France. In the opening scene a mysterious man, "He", approaches the circus performers and requests to join the troupe as a clown. Uncertain, the circus members recognize that the man is well educated and cultured by his speech and manner, but believe he may be an alcoholic. To win their approval, "He" suggests that his part in the circus act could be receiving slaps from the other clowns, and that his circus name could be “He Who Gets Slapped”. Andreyev's script keeps the audience guessing over the identity of "He", and information is divulged piecemeal over the course of the play's four acts. This construct keeps the psychological aspects of the play at the center, as the audience is constantly trying to figure out what is motivating the central character.
In the first act, Papa Briquet, the owner of the circus, asks to see "He"'s identification in order to register his employment with the government. "He" discloses his name into Papa Briquet's ear, without revealing it to the audience. The reaction of the circus owner reveals that "He" is famous and respected, but the audience gains no further knowledge of the character other than he is 39 years old.
In the second act, "He" is an established clown in Briquet's circus and his act has been a huge success, bringing financial prosperity to the circus troupe. However, the other performers warn "He" against talking too much about controversial political and religious topics during his act. "He" falls in love with the horseback rider Consuelo, but her father, Count Mancini, is intent on marrying his daughter to Baron Regnard for his money. At the end of this act a second mysterious man, known only as the "Gentleman", arrives. It is revealed that the "Gentleman", a former close friend of "He", is the cause of "He"'s marital problems, as the "Gentleman" had an affair with "He"'s wife and they now have a son. The Gentleman in hopes of repairing their relationship has been searching all over Europe for "He" for months, as his friend disappeared mysteriously after leaving an angry letter.
In the third act, it is revealed that the "Gentleman" is now married to "He"'s former wife, and that he wrote a highly successful book about his affair with her that has made the "Gentleman" rich and famous. The Gentleman appears regularly in the press with his wife and son. "He" vows never to return to his former life, and the Gentleman leaves. "He" focuses his attention on Consuelo, and makes an unsuccessful attempt to sabotage her engagement to Baron Regnard.
In the fourth act, "He" poisons Consuelo in order to prevent her from marrying Baron Regnard and she dies. Mancini commits suicide in despair. Consumed by guilt, "He" takes the poison as well and dies.

The series follows colonization and multiple genocides, and the effect of both, alongside imperialism and white supremacy:
In the series premiere, "The Disturbing Confidence of Ignorance," filmmaker Raoul Peck sets out to illuminate the intertwined currents of hate and bigotry running through history. Focusing on the United States' legacy as a colonial power, Peck explores how race first became institutionalized, the Nazi program of "elimination" and its antecedents in the West, and the looting of the African continent in a "gentlemen's agreement."
In the second episode, "Who the F*** is Columbus," Peck revisits the stories of Christopher Columbus, the Alamo, and the Trail of Tears from an indigenous perspective, showing how "official" history is shaped by those in power and solidified by myth and popular culture. Next, he examines the "doctrine of discovery" used to justify the enslavement of millions of Africans and questions his own story within these narratives.
In the third installment of the series, "Killing at a Distance or... How I Thoroughly Enjoyed the Outing," Peck looks back at human migration, trade, and weaponry, and shows how Europeans used industrialized steel to conduct warfare from ever-greater distances. Then, he explores the endless cycle of militarization throughout the centuries – from George Washington's efforts to jump-start American arms manufacturing, to the Monroe Doctrine, and finally, to the horrors of the bombing of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In the series finale, "The Bright Colors of Fascism," Peck explores the challenge of reconciling America's true history with its ideals of freedom and democracy, pointing to the struggle for native representation and the legacy of slavery in institutionalized racism today. Reflecting on his time in Berlin, Peck links the modern resurgence of white nationalism with fascism, slavery, colonialism, and Nazism.

Various 1909 film-industry publications provide basic summaries of this photoplay's plot. The trade journal ''The Moving Picture World'' is one that describes the storyline in its April 3 issue: TRYING TO GET ARRESTED. Strange as it may seem the poor tramp, who is the hero of this Biograph comedy, finds it hard indeed to get pinched. There is no doubt he could have gotten work, but it is against the rules of his order. The cold weather is pretty trying and he wishes to get under cover, if it has to be in the "jug," so [he] commits most ignoble and lawless deeds, but without success. The police simply ignore him, and often arrest an unoffending person in his stead. He becomes guilty of theft, assault, riot, disorderly conduct, and, in fact, everything but murder, but is still a bird of freedom. It's no use, so despondently he makes his way to the woodyard, resolving to go to work, when a copper meets him at the gate and arrests him just when he didn't want it.
Film reviewer H. A. Downey in ''The Nickelodeon'', another widely read trade journal in 1909, provides in its May edition an even more concise summary of Griffith's comedy than the one found in ''The Moving Picture World''. "A tramp commits different depredations", writes Downey, "with a view to having the hand of the law take care of him, but fails and decides to go to work."
Another summary of this short's plot, one that provides the most straightforward descriptions of scenes in the film, is in a more current reference, in the extensive 1985 publication ''Early Motion Pictures: The Paper Print Collection in the Library of Congress''.Niver, Kemp R. ''Early Motion Pictures: The Paper Print Collection in the Library of Congress'', [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=osu.32435054790779&view=1up&seq=365&q1 "Trying to Get Arrested"]. Washington, D.C.: Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division, 1985, p. 339. HathiTrust Digital Library. Retrieved 7 April 2021. The following was composed by Library of Congress staff after reviewing a roll of photographic prints preserved in the LC's collection. Those prints date from 1909 and were produced directly from Biograph's now-lost 35mm master negative of ''Trying to Get Arrested'':This story is about the many unsuccessful attempts of a tramp (John Cumpson) to get himself arrested and into jail. The first scene shows a man dressed in rags sitting on a park bench and attempting to keep warm. Several couples pass by but refuse him aid. The tramp vows to get shelter even it means jail, and he starts out by kicking a policeman. Instead of jailing him, the policeman holds him at arm's length and kicks him repeatedly. This begin a series of situations, each ending with the poor tramp being beaten or trod upon, but never arrested. The film ends as the tramp passes a construction site with a "Men Wanted" sign in front, and a policeman guides him unceremoniously toward the employment office.
Based on available summaries of the plot, both in period publications and in the cited LC reference, viewers of the film interpreted the short's ending in two entirely different ways. One way is the tramp, finally reconciled to getting a job, has his plan to work for a living ironically dashed when the police officer arrests him and escorts him to jail. The other interpretation views the officer as not arresting the tramp but escorting him to the construction site's employment office, insuring that the penniless man will get a job and not continue his original plan to get arrested.

Rostam sneered at the brother of Kabul, but the Shah of Kabul apologized and went to greet Rostam, invited him to a party, and dragged him to a hunting ground where he had dug several wells the size of Rostam and Rakhsh, according to Shaghad. They were piled with spears and razors and covered their heads with rubble and dirt. Rostam and Rakhsh fell into a well and died from razor and spear wounds. Rostam, who had realized this conspiracy and the role of Shaghad before he died, after rebuking him, asked him to draw his bow and put it with two arrows so that if a lion came to him, it would not reach his life.

Rostam stitched the Shaghad and the tree together with an arrow and thanked God for forcing him to take revenge on his ill-wishers before he died.

Various 1909 film-industry publications provide basic summaries of this photoplay's plot. The trade journal ''The Moving Picture World'' is one that describes the storyline in its April 3 issue:THE ROAD TO THE HEART...Miguel, an old wealthy ranchero, disapproves of his daughter's marriage to Jose, a poor Mexican, and drives them from his house. Vinuella, Miguel's wife, resents his action by leaving with them. This sends Miguel into a fury, but still obdurate, lie allows them to go, saying that he can get along without them. Now comes the crucial condition. He must have a housekeeper and so sends his servant to engage one. The first is a Chinaman, and to eat the food served by him is impossible. Next an Irish girl. She burns his chops. Finally a cowpuncher. He cooks a steak you couldn't cut with a chisel, and Miguel refuses to eat it. This incenses the cowboy, who becomes a veritable tornado of uproarious, volcanic, ferocious exacerbation, that the poor ranchero is anxious for his life. This cyclonic, fire-eating Bombastes Furioso pulls a couple of guns and puts bullet holes in everything, besides otherwise wrecking the place, and leaves the trembling ranchero more dead than alive from fright. Miguel makes his way disconsolately and sheepishly to his daughter's and son-in-law's cabin, where he finds them seated enjoying a peaceful repast. The savory aroma from the well-cooked viands is too alluring and he at once relents for the sake of a hearty meal.
Film reviewer H. A. Downey in ''The Nickelodeon'', another widely read trade journal in 1909, provides in its May edition a far more concise summary of Griffith's screenplay than the one found in ''The Moving Picture World''. Downey describes the film as "A verification of the theory that the road to the heart is through the stomach, as set forth in the case of Miguel, who, disapproving of his daughter's marriage, drives her from home, but relents for the sake of a hearty meal."

After a good early education, Martin Hillyard left home at 16 to scrape a living in the ports of the Southern Spanish coast. When he was 19, his parents died and he took up a place at Oxford, becoming friends with Harry Luttrell, a young man steeped in tradition. After University Hillyard worked as a playwright while Luttrell felt it his duty to take a commission in his family's regiment, the Clayfords, to redeem its reputation after disgrace in the South African Wars.
Fearful of becoming an "undisciplined soldier", and wanting to escape from a relationship with Stella Croyle, a divorcée he finds excessively proprietorial, Luttrell volunteers in 1912 to be posted to the Sudan. Stella, however, will not accept that the relationship is over, and when Hillyard decides to take a shooting holiday there, gets him to promise that he will ask Luttrell to write. When the friends meet, Luttrell makes it clear that he has no intention of doing so.
Hillyard is summoned to the Admiralty in London, and learns that his wide network of working class Spanish contacts makes him well suited for secret service work.
In August 1914 Hillyard attends a house party at the home of Sir Chichester and Lady Splay. Most of the house guests attend the racing at Goodwood, but Lady Splay's orphaned niece, the 18 year old Joan Whitworth, affects to reject conventional society and declines to go. The guests notice as the afternoon draws on that gaps have appeared in the crowds and that "the officers had gone". Great Britain has entered the Great War.
Largely due to the bravery of Luttrell, the Clayfords redeem their reputation at the Battle of the Somme in July 1916. With assistance from an influential Spanish tobacco smuggler, José Medina, Hillyard obtains details of German submarine movements and discovers how enemy messages are being passed between Berlin and Madrid. Medina confirms the involvement of a prominent Spaniard called Mario Escobar.
Returning to England after twenty months abroad, Hillyard is again invited to Lady Splay's, along with Luttrell. Joan, who in the interim has been in a public relationship with Escobar, instantly falls in love with Luttrell and he with her. There is a difficult scene when Luttrell discovers that a disturbed Stella Croyle is also a guest, and that she is still expecting him to return to her. Joan writes to Escobar to call their relationship off, and they meet alone in the house late at night. He threatens her, but leaves precipitately when he realises that their meeting has been overheard by Stella.
At breakfast the next morning, the party are astonished by a London newspaper report of an incident said to have taken place in the house the night before: the tragic death by chloroform of Mrs Stella Croyle. Stella's maid, Jenny, is sent to check her room, and finds that Stella has indeed died. Hillyard learns that during the night – but well before the death actually occurred – a chauffeur had arrived at the newspaper's offices bearing a letter under the signature of Sir Chichester, but (unknown to the editor) in Stella's handwriting. Questioned about it, Jenny tries to implicate Joan, but at last confesses that the bearer was Stella's own chauffeur, Jenny's fiancé. She had not known what the letter contained. On discovering her mistress's suicide in the morning, she had tried to ensure that Joan, whom she hated as her mistress's rival, would have to attend the inquest and give public evidence of her secret meeting with Escobar. Such a disclosure would destroy her reputation and prevent her marriage to Luttrell.
Escobar is arrested and interned as a spy, and Jenny belatedly realises that she may herself be suspected of murder. Joan avoids having to give evidence, and the coroner brings in a verdict of suicide.
Joan and Luttrell marry before he is recalled to France ten days later. He loses his life at the Battle of Messines in 1917, and Joan bears his child six months afterwards. She tells Hillyard of her pride in her young son, rejoicing that there will be no stigma on the Clayfords when he gets his commission.
''Will and Testament'' is narrated by Bergljot who recalls the events leading up to and following her father's death through sporadic flashbacks.
Bergljot is sexually assaulted and raped by her father, Bjønar, from age five to seven. Her father also physically beats Bergljot's older brother Bård. Bergljot represses these early childhood experiences. As she ages, her guilt-ridden father begins to treat her differently than his other children, and Bergljot's mother, Inga, works hard to cover up her husband's criminal actions. In her twenties, Bergljot confronts her parents about her childhood, but they deny that any abuse had taken place. Bergljot cuts off contact with her parents and the siblings who would not believe her, maintaining contact only with her brother Bård. For about twenty years, the two halves of the family exist separately.
Both Bergljot and her mother Inga have affairs with married men. Bergljot's paramour gets a divorce to have a relationship with her, although that relationship soon crumbles. Inga's paramour passes away which leads Inga to overdose and become hospitalized. Bergljot’s younger sisters, Åsa and Astrid, come to their mother's aid, while Bergljot and Bård attempt to maintain their distance. Bergljot is eventually pulled back into contact with her mother because of her medical emergency. Inga uses this as an opportunity to discuss the family inheritance with Bergljot.
It is revealed that only Åsa and Astrid will be given rights to the family cabins. Bergljot and Bård will be financially compensated, but the valuations completed on the cabins were inaccurate. Bergljot and Bård are shorted on their inheritance, and Bård takes offense. When Bård confronts the rest of the family on the will's disparities, Bergljot sides with him, vocalizing her concerns as well. The siblings exchange heated emails and text messages. Bergljot feels that her underlying conflict with her father's sexual abuse is being ignored and that her testimony is being actively suppressed by her family. Her father dies after a stroke causes him to fall down the stairs. Her mother, Åsa, and Astrid are distraught, while Bergljot is relieved. The father's will now becomes even more relevant, and arguments continue over the cabin's valuations and how the inheritance is going to be distributed. Her mother pressures Bergljot to come to a family lunch before her father's funeral. Bergljot anxiously and begrudgingly attends both events.
When the siblings and their mother meet with a financial advisor to discuss the final will, Bergljot reads an accusation of her sexual assault aloud to her family to which her family objects. Bård sides with Bergljot; the family remains divided despite Astrid's attempt to salvage their relationship. Each sibling receives an equal allotment of the family inheritance, but only Åsa and Astrid are given the cabins. Bergljot does not seek reconciliation with her family, specifically denying her mother the possibility of repaired relationship.
A small family in a lonely outpost on Mars is attacked by bandits. One of the bandits, Jerry, survives and kills the family father. He attempts to integrate into the family, demanding thirty days to prove himself to the surviving mother Ilsa and child daughter Remmy. Over time, Ilsa seems to warm to him, but after thirty days, Ilsa tries to shoot him. She fails as the magazine of the gun that Jerry intentionally left was empty, and Jerry kills her in the ensuing struggle. Remmy, who resents Jerry's presence, grows sullen and spends much of her time with "Steve", a pet-like robot found in a storage unit. Remmy also discovers that their farm is within a large force field bubble that keeps breathable air inside. This makes clear that the bandits came from outside or another similarly shielded area.
Years pass, and Remmy, now a young woman, remains sullen and almost completely silent around Jerry. They have an argument over whether to have a child, and Remmy decides to run away, but Jerry stops her from doing so. He ties her up and attempts to rape her, but Steve blasts Jerry in the neck with its power-drilling attachment. Remmy frees herself and kills Jerry. Now alone, she decides to depart, leaving Steve to tend the outpost.

In late 1890s London, Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) is part of St. Romaulda's Orphanage, a haven for the "Touched" (superpowered people) and her power is to see glimpses of the future. She and her best friend Penance Adair (Ann Skelly), who can control potential energy, visit Myrtle Haplisch (Viola Prettejohn), whose parents have chained to her bed after exhibiting powers and speaking in a mix of languages. Amalia and Penance realize Myrtle is being kidnapped by thugs and fight them, leading to a chase in the streets in their stagecoach but manage to flee in a motorcar. Amalia and Penance decide to take Myrtle to live with them at the orphanage. There, she's introduced to Horatio Cousens (Zackary Momoh), a doctor with healing powers; and Primrose Chattoway (Anna Devlin), a 10-feet tall girl.
Government officials begin discussing the events, with Lord Massen (Pip Torrens) deeming the Touched as dangers to society. Scotland Yard Inspector Frank Mundi (Ben Chaplin) investigates a murder on a factory, with a message "Behol My Works For I Am The Angle of Death" written on the wall; a worker thinks it's the work of a serial killer known as Maladie, but Mundi demurs, noting that "Maladie can spell." Augustus "Augie" Bidlow (Tom Riley) visits his friend, Hugo Swan (James Norton), owner of a private club, to ask for help in something involving the Touched. Amalia and Penance go to see ''Faust'' in the opera when their stagecoach is boarded by Declan Orrun (Nick Frost), who is known in the underground world as the Beggar King. Amalia asks for his help in finding more about the thugs who tried to kidnap Myrtle and he agrees, but threatens to cut her face if things go wrong. At the opera, Auggie accompanies his sister Lavinia (Olivia Williams), who runs the orphanage but has to use a wheelchair. During the performance, Maladie (Amy Manson) appears and kills an actor playing the Devil before one of her thugs uses a machine gun to kill part of the audience. But one of the actors, Mary Brighton (Eleanor Tomlinson) is revealed to have an angelic voice, which affects Amalia, Penance and Auggie. Maladie takes Mary and is pursued by Amalia but they manage to flee.
Detective Mundi once again investigates Maladie and questions Hugo about what happened but gets no information. Penance finds Amalia in an alley, having lost part of her dress during the chase. She comforts her and both try to understand what the song was that Mary sang during the performance. Meanwhile, a surgeon named Dr. Edmund Hague (Denis O'Hare) is shown to be medically torturing Touched people, in an attempt to understand their powers. He alludes to being the person who ordered the kidnapping of Myrtle earlier. A flashback reveals the events of what led to the creation of the Touched three years ago. An unknown flying aircraft passed over London, all while exposing the citizens to sparkles that fell onto some of them. Amongst the affected are Penance, Auggie, Mary, Dr. Cousens, Maladie, Lord Massen's daughter and Amalia, who was attempting suicide by drowning. Once the ship goes underground, everyone who had witnessed the event, quickly forget it and resume their activities. Only Maladie remembers the event as she tries to convince the others about it. Meanwhile, after getting touched by the sparkle, the drowned Amalia awakes and swims to the surface.

Set in 1996 Los Angeles, Micky Adams, is an eccentric, singer-songwriter, burnout 70s rock musician. He has lost his grip on reality and his record label is looking to drop him and his newly created "unique" albums.
Hoping to be promoted out of the record-label mailroom, young Charlie Porter volunteers to seek the musician out in Montecito, his bizarre home 'Xanadont', to convince Micky to sign out of his contract.
Things do not go as Charlie planned. Micky invites him in, with attitude, overgrown hair and beard, soon dosing him with psychedelics. Before Charlie knows what is happening, he finds himself uninhibited, wandering alongside the free-thinking hippie through trees with a llama to the beach. He wakes up face down in the sand, buck naked. He finds his way back on foot, finally meeting Mickey's daughter Julia. She says he is not crazy, but hiding.
Charlie tells the company head, Donny, that he got the contract signed, then hooks up with Cory, the singer he hopes to sign to the label. He heads back to Micky's and instead of getting the signature, helps Julia deal with his meltdown over paparazzi photos. Afterward, she tells him about her mom's passing, and goes out. Wandering around the house and grounds, Charlie puts on one of Micky's many LPs, then finds an upright randomly on the back lawn. He starts playing, which draws Micky out of the house. He sits by him, accompanying him, inspired. Taking over the keyboard, he has a flashback of his wife and daughter dancing.
Micky feels Charlie is his muse. Talking in the car, Charlie opens up about his dysfunctional relationship with his alcoholic father. They are heading to Micky's childhood home. Finding it a shambles, he loudly tries to break in, and they get thrown into jail. There, he calls Charlie his best friend, and Julia picks them up. On the ride back, she and Charlie share secrets.
Cory is waiting for Charlie when he arrives home. The next day, he introduces her at Donny's label party, and is sent away by him back to get the signature. Again, he gets sucked in as Charlie has an odd but powerful bond with Micky/Julia. He tags along as the newly-inspired Micky dresses to perform in a small bar. When he chokes, he quietly asks for a pen, and signs the contract, dejected.
Talking to Charlie later, believing he will not see him again, Micky refers to the painting on the Sistine Chapel The Creation of Adam: music is the space between the two outstretched fingers, love and hate, man and woman, life and death, heaven and hell. Shortly after Camaroon, the paparazzi resurfaces, reiterating that Charlie has lit a spark in Micky, something he has been waiting for with bated breath. Sure enough, Donny waves away the contract Charlie has finally gotten signed. The naked photos of their first meeting were printed on the front page of National Enquirer making Micky a hot commodity, and he gives him two weeks to prepare for the Grammys.
When Charlie goes to tell Micky, Julia is upset because he has gone missing. As they head out to look for him, Camaroon arrives. At first, they do not know where to look, until Charlie realizes he is gone to surf. For the third time, he jumps in to pull out Micky. That evening, all three go to the same bar. This time, not only is he able to perform, but he dedicates a song to his ever-loyal Julia.
As they are leaving, Donny approaches them. Charlie again happily hands him the contract, declaring they are set up with a recording contract elsewhere. The film closes on a close-up photo of Charlie and Julia facing one other, barely touching, on the cover of a new CD entitled, 'The Space Between'.

''"In this slice of (eternal) life, you'll meet God, visit Heaven and learn that what goes on behind the pearly gates isn't exactly the way the good book describes it. For starters, it's a pretty unhealthy work environment – what with God's ginormous, fragile ego and heavy-drinking problem. The good news is that while heaven is a lot less holy than expected, it's much more hilarious too."''
The game is set in an alternate version of the United Kingdom from 1984 to 1991. The player is Alex Winston, who works at the nation's largest television broadcaster, Channel One, for the National Nightly News. Formerly a janitor, Alex is made broadcast engineer when their predecessor, Dave, flees the country and Alex is forced to edit the election night broadcast in his place.
The story begins with the far-left progressive political party Advance, led by lawyer Julia Salisbury and television personality Peter Clement, winning an unexpected landslide victory. Advance implements a number of radical reforms, such as wealth redistribution, right to die policies and nationalisation of several large corporations. As time goes on, Advance becomes increasingly authoritarian in their governance, including limiting the freedom of the press and requesting censorship of anti-government statements. The resistance group Disrupt forms to counteract Advance's agenda.
The World Council, a United Nations-analogue, places harsh sanctions on the country, causing economic troubles, eventually causing Advance to declare war. Fed up with the increase in soft news stories and censorship, co-anchor Jeremy Donaldson snaps live on-air and holds the studio hostage at gunpoint. Depending on the player's response, Jeremy ends up committing suicide, is shot dead by police, or is arrested. Disrupt starts to infrequently hijack Channel One's broadcasts. 20 weeks later, Advance retaliates against the World Council by detonating nuclear explosives in four major cities on the continent and threatens to detonate more devices if the countries do not unconditionally surrender, causing Advance to win the war and annex Europe.
A year and a half later, Channel One has been nationalised, Disrupt has been branded as a terrorist group after staging attacks, and Peter Clement has died, presumably due to alcohol abuse. Disrupt spokesperson Alan James asks Alex to manipulate the broadcast to start an uprising against the Advance government. Advance are aware of the uprising and send in the military to defeat Disrupt. Depending on Disrupt's popularity and whether or not Alex successfully manipulates the broadcast, Alan either successfully retreats while bringing down the broadcast tower or gets killed. Regardless of whether or not the broadcast tower was destroyed, with Channel 1 temporarily ceasing operations if so, the National Nightly News is later rebranded as a soft media program called NNN. Four and a half years later, Advance attributes rapidly rising sterility to the bombs, and Advance propaganda has made its way into teens' minds. There are four different final segments depending on whether Jeremy and Alan are alive or deceased, leading to fourteen different epilogues depending on the player's political stance (pro-Advance, pro-Disrupt, or neutral) and their choice to play or not play a tape exposing Advance or Disrupt.

At his cabin, John (Garret Dillahunt) prepares to commit suicide, but he is interrupted by walkers washing up near his cabin. While investigating the perimeter, John finds Morgan (Lennie James) and Dakota (Zoe Colletti), who are hiding from Virginia's rangers and a walker horde they had walled in on the only bridge out of the area. Depressed, John agrees to help them get through the herd, but refuses to join Morgan's new community despite Morgan's constant attempts to convince him otherwise.

Afterwards, Morgan arranges a meeting with Virginia at John's cabin to force him out of hiding from the world. As Morgan leaves, John discovers that Dakota's knife has the same handle as the piece found near the crime scene back at Lawton. Dakota confesses she murdered Cameron and then shoots John to protect her secret. Morgan returns and Dakota points her gun at him. Morgan sees the knife and realizes the truth. Dakota orders Morgan to take her to her community as planned and reveals that she was the one who saved him at Humbug's Gulch after Virginia shot him. Dakota says the only reason she saved him was because she wants him to kill Virginia.
Meanwhile, Dwight (Austin Amelio) brings Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) to the dam community.

Yoshito's mother, Yasue, runs the yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant "Negishi-en" by herself, which was the only memento left to her by her husband, who died. For Yasue, running the restaurant with only her hands, raising her son, and serving home-cooked food with love is a happy time. For Yoshito, too, eating delicious home-cooked food was a time of bliss.
Although Negishi-en was loved by the public, the number of customers decreased drastically due to an untrue article written by Furuyama, a popular gourmet critic. Just as the restaurant was starting to come back to life after the shock, young Yoshito decided to do something to free his mother from her busy life and spend more time with him.
Eighteen years later, Yoshihito runs away from home and works as a dull freelance writer. One day, he and his editor, Shizuka Takenaka, are asked to launch a new gourmet information website that collects only "real" food. The theme of the first project is the ill-fated yakiniku.
Yoshito decides to take on the job, but as he struggles with his work, he receives news that his estranged mother Yasue has collapsed. Unable to prepare himself to see Yasue on her sickbed, Yoshihito encounters the nostalgic taste of Negishien at many of the famous restaurants he visits for interviews. He enjoys the food there, and begins to understand his mother's feelings through his relationships with people. Through these connections with people, he learns about his mother's thoughts and feelings, and a change occurs within Yoshihito.
Yoshito, who is guided by "food luck," discovers a miracle of sorts in the end.
Post-apocalyptic movie of the bunker claustrophobia variety.
The Taylors, Helen (Erika Alexander), an MD, Greg (Derek Luke), an academic, recently born Mia, teen daughter Zoe (Zamani Wilder) and pre-teen adopted son Kai (Peyton Jackson), have just moved to a spacious home in a rural area, miles from any city.
This idyllic situation is soon up-ended. The economy collapses, there are food shortages, schools close, there is looting and chaos. The country comes under martial law.
While "shopping" at the empty-shelved local market, Helen helps a scared youg pregnant woman to pick some medical supplies. Later, an armed boy shows up asking for Helen. The boy, Matty (Vince Mattis), his father, Winter (Sam Trammell), and the market woman, Amber (Jessi Case), live next door. There are problems with the baby. Can Helen help?
Matty takes Helen and Greg to an underground fortified bunker. There, cranky Winter testily lets Helen examine Amber.
Even though Winter is paranoid, after their home is looted, the Taylors have to seek shelter with him. His bunker is their only option.
In this confined environment, arguing between Helen and Greg, and Winter soon starts. Prepper Winter wonders how pacifist Greg could ever protect his own. In fact, Winter thinks that he, himself, would be a better mate for Helen than her husband. The kids are caught in the middle these tussles. Eventually, Amber's baby is born, but there is no baby food in the bunker.
From the start, Helen knows the rules of Winter's realm, and that she has to keep her family on board, even when SHTF, since much worse awaits outside. But maybe the danger inside is greater than outside.
Alex Lewis is a contract killer living in Mexico who suffers from early onstage Alzheimer's and works for Davana Sealman. He is assigned to kill a man in El Paso, Texas, named Ellis Van Camp (a builder for the Texas Central Processing Facility). Alex's brother turns out to be a resident at a nursing home in El Paso due to his severe Alzheimer's disease. Meanwhile, Special Agent Vincent Serra (of the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force) goes undercover to bring down an El Paso sex trafficker "Papa Leon," who trafficked his daughter, Beatriz, 13. Vincent ends up killing Papa Leon after the latter takes Beatriz hostage.
Beatriz is later taken to the facility due to being undocumented but Child Protective Services takes her after she is granted a protection visa. Meanwhile, Alex kills Ellis and steals flash drives from his safe containing footage of Davana's son, Randy, sexually assaulting Beatriz, something that shocks him. Alex is later assigned to kill Beatriz but refuses due to children being off limits to him and tracks down Davana's lawyer William Borden, whom he threatens. Instead, Beatriz is killed by another hitman, Mauricio, which infuriates Alex and makes him seek revenge on Davana.
After Alex sleeps with a woman he meets at a bar after helping her when a drunk man comes on to her, the woman is shot dead by Mauricio, who also attempts to kill Alex. Alex and Mauricio then get into a shootout that ends with Alex gaining the upper hand. He eventually burns the bodies of both Mauricio and the woman after placing them inside Mauricio's car. Later, Alex also shoots William dead, which ultimately causes Davana's son, Randy, to panic after realizing that whoever killed Ellis and William will likely come for him. Meanwhile, Vincent begins piecing together information and he, along with Det. Marquez and Special Agent Linda, uncover that William was the lawyer for Randy Sealman (who owns the facility) and that Ellis was the builder for the facility, who was shot with the same exact slug. The three realize that anyone with connections to the facility ends up dead and that Randy is likely next.
After Randy hosts a party on a yacht, the FBI arrive to make sure he doesn't die. Alex manages to kill Randy after hiding out on the yacht before the party begins. After he makes a run for it, he is cornered by Vincent and Marquez but escapes despite Marquez inflicting a gunshot wound on him. Alex later recuperates inside his hideout (a former bakery once owned by his late father surrounded by pigeons) and stops the bleeding. Alex's Alzheimer symptoms eventually begin worsening, but he makes his way to Davana's penthouse to kill her. He instead shoots several police officers before being knocked out by Det. Danny Mora. Meanwhile, Davana hires another man to kill Alex as retribution for the death of Randy.
After Alex is hospitalized, Vincent and Linda retrieve the flash drives from his hideout. They see Alex in the hospital, and his ability to speak is hindered, but he informs Vincent that he has evidence of Davana threatening Ellis, which should be enough to put her on trial, but says he cannot remember where he placed the recording. After the assassin hired to kill Alex comes for him, Alex instead takes him hostage. Snipers later surround the hospital as Alex walks out holding the man hired to kill him as a hostage, the snipers mistakenly kill the hostage. Alex gets inside Vincent's car and says Davana wishes to "bery" him before stepping out and being shot dead. Vincent later realizes that Alex gave him a clue with the word "bery," he retrieves the recording of Davana threatening Ellis but is instead told by the district attorney that it is not enough to prosecute. Instead, Marquez kills Davana by slitting her throat (while masked), and Vincent and Linda watch the news report at a bar. Vincent realizes that Linda took him to the bar to give him an alibi.
The film opens with a man and a woman walking home from a night out in L.A., the man, who is very intoxicated, stumbled into a large, hairy homeless man, who turns out to be some kind of monster, who then violently bites him on the neck. The woman is then confronted by another similarly monstrous homeless person, and is also bitten, but manages to run away, but is then hit by a speeding police car.
Afterwards, a flashback/dream sequence then proceeds from the perspective of renegade, maverick, cop-on-the-edge Chuck Steel, of the supposed circumstance of how he lost his wife, by being kidnapped by the local Yakuza, and falling from a helicopter to her death. Chuck then wakes up just before he crashes into a billboard advertising a circus. He then gets ready for his day, and sees on the TV a report about the new Governor and how he plans to reduce alcohol consumption in the city and help the local homeless population. He then shoots his TV and leaves his apartment to go to work. He's met by his new partner, a rookie cop named Barney, and Steel proceeds to take down some gangsters in a way that causes massive collateral damage whilst ranting to Barney about how he hates working with partners, and works alone. Steel is then brought before his captain, Jack Schitt, who berates Steel for his excessive methods, and reveals that Barney was so traumatised by the experience that he shot himself. The captain says that he's determined to get Steel partnered up with somebody, and gives him a choice between a Swedish woman, a monkey, or a cheese plant. He chooses the woman, but is shocked to find that she is a gormless, huge, very-clumsy masculine woman.
The pair then go to the hospital to interview the woman from the opening, but find an old British man standing over her about to stake her. They arrest him and during the interrogation, he reveals that he is supernatural hunter Professor Van Rental, and that he was trying to stake the woman because she was about to become a Trampire. Van Rental explains that back when vampires ruled over Transylvania, they were eventually driven out by the locals and forced into squalor, scrounging for food and living like derelicts. After eons of this, they became depressed and took to binge drinking, and this devolved them to the point where their thirst for blood and alcohol became one and the same, and now will only pray on those with high blood alcohol levels. Steel doesn't believe him and has him thrown in jail. His captain then tells him that he's due an appointment with the department psychiatrist, Dr. Allex Cular for his anger management, but is reluctant to do so, but eventually does so. During the session Steel acts stand-offish and refuses to talk about his wife, but also is concerned by how Cular has been turning the rest of the station into barely stable, ineffective messes.
Through a montage, the Trampires continue to attack and create more of their numbers over the next few days, during which, Van Rental manages to escape prison and returns to the hospital to stake the woman from before, but Steel arrives just before he can, but is now more believing about what's going on. He opens the drapes and kills the Trampire with sunlight, but not before threatening that the 'Master' will make them pay, after which, she then turns into a bat and bites Chuck on the nose. During the struggle, they manage to defeat the bat, but in the process, Chuck's partner falls out the window to her death. Back and the station, Steel and Van Rental try to explain what happened to the captain, including how since Chuck was bitten, he'll become a Trampire too by midnight. The captain doesn't believe them, thinking it's another one of Chucks conspiracy theories like how the governor is an Illuminati lizard man, but allows Steel till midnight to sort this mess out, but takes the monkey, Bubbles, along with him as a partner.
Van Rental and Steel then proceed to get drunk as a way to lure out the Trampires, during which Van Rental explains that the Master is a Trampire who is destined to bring about 'The Lock-In' where the sun will be blocked out and everyone on Earth will then drink constantly, creating an endless food supply for the Trampires, but, a chosen one is also destined to defeat them. After several failed attempts to find Trampires, they dress Chuck up as a woman, since couples are more likely to be attacked, and find one, who they then follow back to their lair, to find that their Master is in fact Cular. Her plan was to make the L.A.P.D ineffective so that they would have no problem finding the 'Puritan' a figure who they must kill to bring about the Lock-In, who Steel and Van Rental correctly predict to be the Governor.
Van Rental and Steel are captured by Cular where it's revealed that Chuck's wife did not die, but left him for a clown, and he kept it a secret to protect his image. The pair are then tied up while Cular and her Trampires go to the circus, where the governor would be, to execute their plan. Bubbles helps the two escape, but in the process is killed by a Trampire pig, who then carries off Van Rental. Steel returns to his apartment to arm himself for the final showdown, but finds his landlord Gussman and pet parrot are Trampires too, and they accidentally set of Chuck's apartment's self-destruct, and Chuck and his weapons are blown onto the street. He then wakes up in a homeless town, where it's revealed that the non-Trampire homeless of L.A. know about the monsters and, due to a crude drawing discovered by a man called 'The Wise One' believe that Chuck is the chosen one to defeat the Master.
Chuck then goes to the circus with the homeless, and are joined by Van Rental where the final showdown ensues. A massive battle takes place where most of the Trampires are killed, but Cular then reveals her true form, a gargantuan gargoyle-like creature with tongues for nipples and a giant womb that opens up and ensnares people with a massive tentacle. She manages to grab the Governor, who then reveals that he is in fact an Illuminati Lizard, and fights her. During this, Chuck succumbs to the bite and becomes a Trampire, but by using his ex-wife’s crucifix necklace, he turns himself back into a human, and he and Van Rental manage to defeat the Master through a combination of wooden-tipped bullets, Holy Coffee and shoving the crucifix necklace down her mouth, though her liver survives. As Chuck then proceeds to fight the governor, Van Rental then stakes the Masters liver, and both are eventually destroyed once and for all. Steel then find his ex-wife, where it is revealed that the break-up letter that she sent him was actually written by the clown she left him for, and the she does still love him, but can't be with him because he's not a clown.
As Chuck and Van Rental exit the circus, Van Rental explains that there are still other creatures out there to fight, to which Chuck then asks him 'Face or Balls?' (in reference to which one he'll punch).
Beth Cassini (Domenique Fragale) accidentally exposes her Touched powers by causing objects in her workplace to levitate by touching them. This forces her to flee, abandoning her previous life after seeing a pamphlet for St. Romaulda's Orphanage. On her way to the orphanage, she's kidnapped. Mundi (Ben Chaplin) raids the Orphanage, convinced that Maladie (Amy Manson) is hidden there, but fails to find anything. He then converses with Amalia (Laura Donnelly) and expresses discomfort at knowing that Mary (Eleanor Tomlinson) is a Touched. Lavinia (Olivia Williams) arrives and uses her influence to expel the police from the orphanage. Because the public has developed a negative perception of the Touched after the events of the Opera, Lavinia enlists Penance (Ann Skelly) and select members of the Touched to attend a charitable fete at her estate to change the public's perception.
Lord Massen (Pip Torrens) and the other council members discuss the events at the Opera and how this will impact their political interests. Massen then talks with Hugo (James Norton) and finds out he plans to incorporate more Touched into the staff of his club, where memberships have increased since the events at the Opera. Massen gets angry when Hugo makes a disparaging remark about his own father, a person Massen admired. Amalia has a vision in which she and Maladie fight after having a meeting with Desirée (Ella Smith), a Touched with the power to compel people to express their secrets. She takes Desirée to the police station to see Mundi, where Desirée uses her power to make him reveal that he and Mary were once engaged but Mary left him at the altar. The power reveals that he cares more about finding Mary than catching Maladie. Mary is revealed to be held captive at an old factory where some of Maladie's followers taunt her and mock her abilities.
At the charitable fete, Penance talks with Auggie (Tom Riley) and the two enjoy some time together. Lavinia warns him to leave her, as people would believe she used her powers on him. He stops talking to her, prompting Penance to leave the estate. Realizing Maladie's location, Amalia heads to the old factory, where she finds Penance and Mary, each with a noose around her neck on the edge of a platform. Amalia fights Maladie, during which they call each other "Sarah" and "Molly", revealing they had a past together where Amalia abandoned Maladie. Maladie then forces Amalia to choose either Mary or Penance to save but Amalia instead shoots herself. As Maladie is distracted, Amalia shoots her. Maladie and her followers flee the area as Mundi and more officials arrive at the scene. Amalia is taken to Horatio (Zackary Momoh), who uses his powers to heal her wound. Beth is brought to Dr. Hague (Denis O'Hare), who is about to perform surgery on her before he is interrupted by his assistant, who tells him that their boss has arrived. Hague meets with his employer, Lavinia, at a cave and shows her the progress his team has made since finding a massive blue-colored orb that may explain some of their questions.
Annie (Rochelle Neil) interrupts a shipment in the docks, which is part of the Beggar King's territory. She is then intercepted by Amalia (Laura Donnelly) and Penance (Ann Skelly), who try to recruit her for the orphanage but she escapes. These events cause the Beggar King (Nick Frost) to lose his temper with his henchmen, telling them to find more about Amalia. The next day, Penance shows her new invention to the women in the orphanage: a device that can amplify Mary's (Eleanor Tomlinson) voice to reach more Touched people. Mary then speaks with Amalia, expressing her concern at the secrets that Amalia may be keeping as well as questioning the purpose of the Touched at the orphanage but Amalia doesn't answer her questions. Meanwhile, Lord Massen (Pip Torrens) has workers install telephones in his property. One of these workers accidentally ventures into the house and finds a room with something trying to escape but is reassured that it's just rabid dogs.
Inspector Mundi (Ben Chaplin) finds a note that tells him to meet with someone at a bar. At the bar, he finds Hugo (James Norton), who openly mocks him and it is revealed that Hugo and Mundi had an intimate encounter before that may have motivated Mary to leave him at the altar, which Mundi blames on alcohol. Doctor Cousens (Zackary Momoh) is led to a carriage, where he finds a wounded Maladie (Amy Manson), who asks him to use his powers to heal her, which he reluctantly agrees to do. Investigating the false flyers that lead to a location posing as the orphanage, Amalia and Lucy (Elizabeth Berrington) visit the fake orphanage to confront the housekeeper. Amalia is attacked by a masked man with a deformed face but she manages to kill him. Amalia then takes several pieces of evidence from the fake orphanage to bring to Lavinia (Olivia Williams) but instead of taking down the flyers, Amalia suggest keeping them so they can watch the fake orphanage.
Lucy takes the captured housekeeper back for interrogation. Meanwhile, Mary invites Inspector Mundi to the orphanage to share her insecurities regarding her power and the orphanage while also seemingly confirms Hugo's deduction regarding their failed marriage. The interrogation of the fake orphanage's housekeeper bolsters Mary's resolve to use her power with Penance's amplifier. She asks for Inspector Mundi and everyone's attendance at the park, despite the fact that Mundi won't be able to hear her voice. On her way to the park, Amalia is thrown out of her carriage to the river next to the bridge. Odium (Martyn Ford), a Beggar King's henchman, is revealed to be a Touched by managing to walk on the water. He tries to kill her but she overpowers him and strangles him with chains to escape. In the park, Mary starts her singing, which manages to be sent to the whole city thanks to Penance's invention. However, she's shot multiple times by one of Maladie's followers. Mundi kills him in revenge but he's wounded in the shoulder. Mary then dies on Amalia's arms. That night, the women at the orphanage find Annie has arrived with several Touched that heard Mary's voice.
The women from the Orphanage bury Mary after the events of the previous episode. When purists start bad-mouthing them, Mundi (Ben Chaplin) has officers arrest them. Amalia (Laura Donnelly) chose not to attend the funeral and has been going to bars, getting drunk, and starting fights with some of the patrons after trying to steal from them. When she returns to the orphanage, Penance (Ann Skelly) tries to comfort her but Amalia releases her frustration instead. Primrose (Anna Devlin) speaks with a crying Myrtle (Viola Prettejohn) in her room, trying to understand her drawings. She eventually finds out that Myrtle heard a secret message during Mary's song. They contact foreign members to try to decipher the message, which is just "Come before the dark." In the police station, Mundi questions the purists, who are frightened at finding that he is a former boxer and reveal that people hired them to crash the funeral and insult the women. Mundi then confronts Hugo (James Norton) and accuses him of sending them in order to scare the women and join his club but Hugo reassures him he had no involvement with the men.
Amalia, Penance, Lucy (Elizabeth Berrington), Annie (Rochelle Neil) and Cousens (Zackary Momoh) discuss a list of suspects behind Mary's murder, with Maladie, Lord Massen, the Beggar King and Augie deemed suspects. Penance talks with Augie (Tom Riley) to try to make him confess but he maintains his innocence. Annie tries to confront the Beggar King but is held off by one of his henchmen, Nimble Jack (Vinnie Heaven), a Touched with the power to create a shield and is told that he was not involved in Mary's murder. Amalia visits Lord Massen (Pip Torrens), who states his innocence, suggesting that Mary was murdered for representing hope for the Touched. The last comment makes Amalia believe he had a part in the murder and plans to destroy his business in the warehouse dock. Mundi finds Maladie (Amy Manson) strangling his superintendent, where she reveals she was in the funeral before escaping. Mundi follows her and manages to get her unconscious.
Amalia, Lucy and Annie meet at the docks to blow the warehouse. However, Amalia exposes Lucy as Lord Massen's spy. Lucy admits working for him as he promised to give her a cure to her power, where she breaks everything she touches. She attempts to flee and gets into a fight with Amalia. Amalia holds her at gunpoint but decides to let her go in a boat. Lucy reveals the location of the real munitions and Annie blows up the warehouse. Back in the Orphanage, Amalia tells Penance about Lucy's betrayal before being interrupted by Primrose, Harriet (Kiran Sonia Sawar) and Myrtle. They have found the complete message, which is directed at Amalia: "Amalia, my lonely soldier. I didn't leave you. I went inside the city. I was damaged... incomplete. I had to heal. Soon we will all be ready. But it's dark. There's a darkness. Find me. Let them help, those who will, but come below and find me. Come before the dark, and we can save..." with the last part being incomplete because of her death. Harriet believes that the message is not of Mary's, but someone else speaking through her.
Maladie (Amy Manson) is put on trial for her crimes and is sentenced to death by hanging, with her execution set to be in public. While Lord Massen (Pip Torrens) is pleased with the idea, his fellow government officials don't agree with the public execution. The glowing orb has started to crack and emitted pulses of light, which worries Lavinia (Olivia Williams), who wants it destroyed. Dr. Hague (Denis O'Hare) refuses, citing that the orb can still be used for their own benefits. Amalia (Laura Donnelly) and Penance (Ann Skelly) are also working on tracking down the "Galanthi" (the aircraft that passed through London and gave them powers), using a map of the city to find possible locations. Penance intents to use a new drill to help them but it malfunctions during a test. Effie visits Mundi (Ben Chaplin), as she wants an interview with Maladie for her paper. After being denied, she runs into Hugo (James Norton), and whispers a request into his ear.
Lord Massen visits the Beggar King (Nick Frost), revealing Massen sent Odium to kill Amalia. Massen tells him to cause chaos after the execution. Penance reveals to Amalia that she intends to rescue Maladie, explaining that despite her history, she can't let another Touched die. Despite disagreeing, Amalia won't stop her but she won't help her either, preferring to look for the Galanthi on the same day as the execution. During the execution, Penance and a few other Touched sneak around the building, planning to intercept Maladie at the podium. However, Maladie actually knocks her guards and pulls the lever, hanging herself in front of everyone. The Colonel (Mark Benton) activates an electrical switch that causes the barrier to electrocute those who are touching it. Penance tries to turn it off but the damage is already done, with people getting killed and frightened of the Touched. Back in the station, Mundi has an epiphany where he remembers the case of a murdered woman and how the corpse of Maladie doesn't match with her description. It's revealed that he never caught Maladie, it was a decoy named Clara Stowe (Sylvie Briggs). In the final scene, Effie removes her costume to reveal she is Maladie in disguise.
In the future, a group of soldiers from the Planetary Defense Coalition (PDC) parachute into a destroyed city to infiltrate a station. The team enters the station while holding a captive, Major Greenbone (Matthew Marsh), who works for an organization named FreeLife. Inside, they discover a garden, many corpses hanging from rooftops, and a Galanthi protected by glass. Video logs reveal a team of researchers used to work there and had a bond with the creature. The team is actually the hanging corpses killed by FreeLife in order to torture the Galanthi. The team discovers that the Galanthi plans to leave the planet and return with reinforcements. Greenbone starts a chain of events that culminate with the whole team dying, except for a soldier code-named Stripe (Claudia Black). Stripe returns to the garden and commits suicide by drinking poisoned water. The ethereal Galanthi passes through her body as it escapes the station through a portal.
In 1890s London, a woman named Molly (Laura Donnelly) works as a baker. Even though she's in love with a man named Varnum Dale, she marries butcher Thomas True because of her financial situation. Her marriage life is complicated, with her long working hours and many miscarriages. To complicate matters, Thomas dies, leaving a huge debt behind and Molly has to take care of his ill mother. Molly reunites with Varnum but realizes she has no chance to be in his life now that he's married and is expecting a child. All these events culminate in her jumping into the River Thames in an attempt to commit suicide just as the Galanthi flies over London.
Molly is taken to an asylum where it's revealed that the Galanthi placed Stripe's soul in her body. Her attitude changes as Stripe takes over her body. While in the asylum, she meets Sarah (Amy Manson) and starts to get used to her new life, taking on Molly's name, Amalia True. While on a check-up with the asylum's physician, Dr. Horatio Cousens (Zackary Momoh), they discover they both have powers by coming into contact with the Galanthi and wonder about other people who could be "touched". Dr. Edmund Hague (Denis O'Hare) arrives at the asylum, looking to investigate more about those affected by the spores. Amalia meets with Dr. Hague and feigns ignorance about her "turn." She then tells Sarah to be honest about everything to Dr. Hague, betraying her. Amalia starts practicing her manners and English accent to change her life. Eventually, Lavinia (Olivia Williams) finds her and offers her a place in the Orphanage, where she will find more Touched people. She sets out to find one of these Touched, revealed to be Penance (Ann Skelly).
Back in the present day, Amalia, Augie (Tom Riley) and Annie (Rochelle Neill) fight against soldiers beneath their base where they think the Galanthi is hidden. Amalia is separated from her team when she falls into a sinkhole. Traveling through the tunnels, Amalia finds the Galanthi. While she questions it, the tunnels begin to shake, and Amalia falls and goes through a series of flashbacks and future events. One of these includes Myrtle (Viola Prettejohn) speaking on behalf of the Galanthi, "Oh, Amalia. This is a long time from that little cave. This, I will need you to forget." When she regains consciousness, she is attacked by masked men but manages to escape. She returns to the Orphanage to meet with Penance, who just returned from her failed attempt to save Maladie. She decides it's time to tell the Orphanage about everything she knows and tells Penance her real name: Zephyr Alexis Navine. They embrace as one of Penance's inventions flies above them.
After winning the 2019 Formula 2 Championship with Carlin, Aiden Jackson secures a drive with a Formula One team for the 2020 season. However, Jackson has a rocky start to his Formula One career as he makes contact with teammate Casper Akkerman in the season opener in Australia. Jackson refuses to admit that the contact was his fault, angering Akkerman. Little did the two know was that rival driver Devon Butler had caused that incident by making it three-wide in a turn. To add insult to injury, Butler himself stirs up tensions between Jackson and Akkerman, which start to mount during the Chinese Grand Prix, where Akkerman forces Jackson off the track upon overtaking him.
Going into the mid-season, the team finds itself struggling in the Constructors' Championship as Jackson is still unable to get along with Akkerman. Their relationship continues to worsen when Akkerman finds out that Jackson has been given the updated power unit instead of him. The team heads to Mexico with the hope of scoring points to secure their place above the rest of the midfield teams, but their hopes are shattered when Jackson and Akkerman, unwilling to give up positions, collide and take each other out. After the race, Brian Doyle sternly reprimands the two, threatening to sack them both if they cause trouble with each other any further. This part of the story can be compared to the Hamilton–Rosberg rivalry, in which Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg collided with each other three times during their time as teammates at Mercedes and Toto Wolff took action after he could not tolerate his drivers coming together any further, with the Mexico collision in particular replicating the opening lap incident in the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix where Hamilton and Rosberg crashed into each other.
The tensions carry over to the 2021 season. Akkerman is frustrated, feeling that the team seems to have started treating Jackson as the number one driver as he gets priorities on both qualifying and pit strategy. At the Canadian Grand Prix, Akkerman refuses to let Jackson pass despite being told to do so, with Jeff stating the infamous "faster than you" message on the radio, similar to the message sent to Felipe Massa by Rob Smedley at the 2010 German Grand Prix where Massa was told to let Fernando Alonso through. After the race, the two drivers have a heated argument in the paddock, during which Akkerman inadvertently declares his retirement, although Akkerman later clarifies that he had already planned to retire at the start of the season and that the retirement has nothing to do with the incident as Jackson seemed to believe. The argument goes viral on social media via a video, apparently recorded by Devon Butler on his phone. As a result, Jackson loses a good chunk of his fans, who blame him for Akkerman's retirement.
Akkerman's strong performances keep the team in the fight, but the tensions between him and Jackson still don't show any signs of resolution. At the team dinner, Doyle brings the two together to discuss their problems. They finally find out that their mutual hostility was actually fueled by false rumours and gossip spread by Devon Butler. Akkerman reveals to Jackson that he had blindly believed Butler's lies all along, leading him to throw a fit for his gullibility. With their differences sorted and their feud put behind them, Akkerman and Jackson work together to beat Butler's team and get their team to fourth in the Constructors' Championship.
At the final race in Abu Dhabi, Butler's teammate retires from the race due to mechanical issues. Taking advantage of this, Akkerman leads Butler into the final part of the race. While attempting an overtake, Butler collides with Akkerman, resulting in both sustaining major damage to their cars.

Paula dodges bill collectors while working and raising her young son Stewie in Red Deer, Alberta. Her brother Ross enlists her to play as a substitute in a local hockey match, helping his team to beat the league champions, the Chiefs. Afterwards, sexist comments lead Paula to wager that she can assemble an all-female team and beat the Chiefs by women's hockey rules. She and Chiefs' captain Curt soon regret this and try to cancel the match, but it has already been announced on local radio and become the talk of the town.
With the help of her mother Edith and local DJ Heather, Paula assembles a team from the area, including destitute goalie Felicity, doctoral student Kate, soldier Brigitte, mechanic Charlene, and Calgarian Marcie. Training arguments cause Paula's commitment issues to resurface; Edith rallies the team and uses bake sale fundraising for team uniforms as the Black Widows. The Chiefs face hardships so Paula excuses them from raising matching funds. Curt bribes Ross to overlook the addition of a talented player to the Chiefs' roster, but the outsider is beaten by Felicity's friends and left unable to play. However, Marcie disappears before the match along with the prize money.
In the big match, the Chiefs take an early 3–0 lead before their momentum is broken when Kate draws a penalty against Curt and the Widows score on the power play. The Chiefs score again, which is answered by the Widows who pull their goalie to close the first period 4–2. The radio coverage draws a crowd to the arena during the intermission.
After confirming that there is betting on the match, Paula confronts Felicity in the changing room about throwing the game but refuses to pull her from the roster, insisting that the team is a family. Paula takes a heavy bodycheck to score in the second period. While recovering, she explains to Stewie that years earlier she'd left the women's Olympic ice hockey team training camp because she was afraid of not making the team, and not because of him. She promises to try her hardest for what's important to her.
Both teams adopt a man-on-man defensive strategy for the third period. The Widows score on a breakaway, take the lead in the last minute, and then score an empty net goal. An executive from a national television network approaches Paula, offering the Widows a place as a founding team in a new professional women's hockey league. Following the post-game handshake, the Widows pose with a custom trophy dubbed the Family Cup.
