Centuries ago, the Guardians of the Universe created a galactic police force known the Green Lantern Corps to protect the Galaxy. Green Lanterns were chosen amongst alien races due to their intelligence, willpower, and fearlessness, and possess "Power Rings" which are charged by a Power Battery; after the current wearer dies, another one is selected to become his/her successor.
On Thanagar, after the bloody Thanagarian-Rannian war, peace was codified to an agreement of a joint project run by Rannian scientist Sardath and Thanagarian Banth Dar to build a bridge between their home worlds of Thanagar and Rann using Zeta-Beam technology. During the testing, rogue Green Lantern Sinestro infiltrated the command center and sabotaged the experiment. Green Lantern Hal Jordan, who was assigned to watch over the Zeta-Beam project, failed to stop the beam, which transported Thanagar near to Rann, killing many Thanagarians and causing another Thanagarian-Rannian war. A severely injured Jordan, who is assumed dead, was confronted by Sinestro. Before passing out, Jordan released his Power Ring. Sinestro then infected Jordan with a parasite called the "Parallax entity" meant bend Jordan to his will. The entity, instead empowered Jordan, who had Sinestro submit to him.
Sinestro and Jordan killed the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians, except for Ganthet. Sinestro became Jordan's acolyte after seeing his full potential. Ganthet, who has Jordan's Power Ring, crash-lands on Earth where ex-marine soldier John Stewart is chosen as Jordan's successor and witnesses Ganthet perish.
Requesting to seek help how to use the Power Ring, calling itself "Ring", Stewart is taken to the Justice League Watchtower where he meets present members Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, and Vixen, who notice Stewart's ring and learn it was the one worn by Jordan, who was Green Arrow's best friend. With Martian Manhunter and Vixen unavailable, Green Arrow goes with Stewart to investigate Jordan's apparent death to Oa, the Guardians and Green Lantern Corps' homeworld.
Upon arrival, Green Arrow finds a Power Battery and gives it to Stewart. They are suddenly attacked by Thanagarian Shayera Hol, whom Stewart barely defeats. Before the attack on Oa, Shayera went to seek help from the Guardians and shows footage from Oa's security net showing a Rannian ship arriving before the Guardians and Green Lanterns' deaths. After explaining the war, Shayera reluctantly agrees to seek further answers with Stewart and Green Arrow on Rann.
Along the way, Stewart recharges his Power Ring by speaking the Green Lantern Oath. On Rann, they meet the assumed deceased Rannian hero Adam Strange, who has no control of his random Zeta-Beam teleportations. To convince the Rannians were not involved with Oa, Strange takes the crew to the Rann High Command. There, they meet Rannian Captain Kantus, who reveals Sardath had built a Doomsday weapon which could destroy Thanagar. Kantus tricks the crew into reactivating his ship which he uses to destroy another Thanagarian ship. The crew flee the battle. Strange learns Sardath has converted the Zeta-Beam into a planet destroyer and that someone is disguising Rannian and Thanagarian ships to orchestrate the wars.
The crew track the enemy, but are captured and held prisoner by Sinestro, who also has Jordan impersonating as a prisoner. They manage to escape and retrieve Stewart's ring along with the crew's equipment. During the escape, the crew begin to suspect of Jordan's uncharacteristic willingness to kill. Eluding the Sinestro Corps, they arrive at Rann, where they reveal to Sardath the evidence that Sinestro orchestrated the war between Rannians and Thanagarians. Sinestro and his Corps launch a full-scale assault on the Rannian headquarters, during which Stewart reluctantly kills Sinestro, who reveals his true role as an acolyte by mentioning his master.
After receiving the data of the Zeta-Beam technology, Jordan reveals his true colors after killing Sardath, and uses the rings he obtained from the dead Green Lanterns to enter a god-like state. He also reveals and commences his plan to use the Zeta-Beam technology to destroy Rann and Thanagar, and establish a new order in the universe. Stewart fights Jordan while others unsuccessfully attempt to stop the weapon. Stewart gains the upper hand on Jordan, and retrieves the Lantern rings from him, save for one as Jordan attempts one last strike to kill Stewart, but is shot and killed by Green Arrow. The weapon fires, but Strange (donning a modified space suit) flies towards the beam, sacrificing himself to save Rann and Thanagar.
Returning to Earth with Green Arrow, Stewart sends the Power Rings to their new owners in order to rebuild the Green Lantern Corps, while Shayera returns to Thanagar, hoping to cross paths with Stewart again.
Quincy Reynard has apparently been invited to a party at a remote mansion. While there, he observes anomalies that frighten and confuse him. He sees multiples of another houseguest, Lynri Watts, and repeatedly stumbles onto the murdered Doctors Alise Yu and Warden Haynes, the mansion's owners, before seeing them alive later. He also discovers that washing his hands in a toilet apparently allows him to time travel. The situation worsens and he eventually finds himself in an empty mansion, filled only with numerous corpses of Yu and Haynes. Inexplicably, he also begins to replicate.
Lynri stumbles onto the Quincy copies and reveals that they are in a computer simulation of the real Lynri's memories, and that 'Quincy' is merely extrapolated from Lynri's memories of the real Quincy. She displays to him all of the her memories, from childhood to old age. Lynri was born with a life-threatening birth defect that impacts her daily. She fears that any day may be her last, so she works as hard as possible to 'leave an impact on the world'. As a neuroscience student, she runs into the real-world Quincy at university. After some time, the two date, and both graduate.
Lynri's research paper catches the attention of the Yu-Haynes Foundation, which invites her to the real-world mansion for the same party in the simulation. There, Yu and Haynes recruit investors and researchers (including Watts) for their project to create a memory machine, and unveil an early prototype. The two try their hardest in maintaining their relationship amidst Lynri's long work hours. However, the strain eventually gets to the couple.
Some time later, Lynri leaves the apartment in a rush to meet with investors for a demonstration of the machine, but discovers that another researcher has died from using it. Distraught, she quits and decides to go on a world tour with Quincy, a long-time dream of hers. They enjoy the trip, although they discover that Lynri is unintentionally pregnant. The couple's lives progress happily as they prepare for the child, but Lynri's disorder suddenly re-emerges, forcing the couple into a dilemma: either Lynri receives treatment and the child is born prematurely, thereby risking its life; or Lynri forgoes treatment until childbirth, meaning the child is well but her lifespan is potentially shortened.
Lynri decides to carry through with the treatment, and completely recovers from her disorder. The child, born early, is named Tobias Reynard. Because of his early birth, he is wheelchair-bound and sickly. The couple do their best as his parents, but Tobias dies young. This causes a gulf in their marriage. Lynri abandons Quincy and returns to the Foundation, this time having moved to the on-site living quarters. She ignores Quincy's attempts to communicate and throws herself into her work.
Decades later, as an old woman, she decides to stress-test the now-reliable memory machine a day before its reveal. She selects her memory of the party and inserts a copy of 'Quincy' with generic memories. The test rapidly develops anomalies, where the simulated Yu and Haynes are randomly murdered despite nothing in the simulation that can cause this. She also discovers that any attempt to activate the in-simulation memory machine causes all persons in the mansion to be murdered and the simulated machine to fail, which did not happen in real life. She enlists the simulated Quincy to investigate. Quincy witnesses anomalies in the memory, like a statue randomly disappearing, hallways becoming endless and black tentacles destroying the simulated machine.
Eventually, Lynri comes to the correct conclusion that she herself is not real but also simulated. She confronts a shadowy figure, revealing herself to be Faye. Faye reveals this to all be the work of the real-world Neil Watts, whose mother Lynri chose not to take the treatment, allowing Neil to be born mostly healthy, but her delayed treatment worsened her disorder, eventually killing her when Neil is a teenager. Before she died, she chose to copy her memories using the machine, so that Neil would have something left of her. An adult Neil licenses the memory technology to Sigmund Corp., which uses it to grant the wishes of dying people. With the help of Faye and other Sigmund Corp. researchers, Neil created a machine to store and simulate the dead, allowing them to live forever; this includes the stored memory of the dead real-world Lynri Watts.
During Neil's stress test, he used the machine to simulate his parents, who in turn ran simulations, which in turn also ran simulations. Faye had to kill the guests and destroy the machine at the memory of the party because Neil's real-world machine was out of memory. Ending all the simulations, Faye combines all permutations of Quincy and Lynri, then creates a final simulation where their lives proceed smoothly. In this simulation, Lynri is treated of her disorder when young, Neil is born without any health problems, and the couple 'die' in peace.
In the real world, Neil is working on the machine and bantering with Faye, when he suddenly receives a 'perimeter breach alert', forcing him to log out of his virtual reality workspace. His colleagues from Sigmund ― Robert Lin, Roxanne Winters, and Eva Rosalene ― have arrived at his home, where Winters had spontaneously decided to bring them all to eat ice cream. The group go off on their trip, as seen in the supplementary comic ''The Bestest Dancers''.
Poncho, who wants to investigate his brother's murder more thoroughly, sets out to find the culprit and seek justice. His trail leads to a fire station in a Mexico City neighborhood. He infiltrates the fire station undercover and begins his investigation while going about his daily work as a firefighter, with all the risks. One of his colleagues is Olivia, the only female firefighter at the station, who joins him in his search for the truth after finding out Poncho's true intentions. At the same time, the prison sentence of Ricardo Urzúa, accused of murdering several women, is coming to an end. His rehabilitation begins, and he does everything he can to become head of the guard, and is also looking for answers, as well as for his child, who knows nothing about him.
A young investigator (Ivan Okhlobystin) and his experienced colleague-mentor (Rolan Bykov) track down a serial murderer named "Arbiter" (Alexander Solovyov) who kills criminals for some reason. During the investigation it turns out that the killer is not a professional criminal, but a man who once became a victim himself.
In the opening scene, Otis leaves his law office in the evening. He passes Robinson, the crown's customs collector. Robinson and two others enter the home of John Emory. Robinson searches Emory's house for papers concerning contraband cargo of molasses and rum allegedly transported by ship to Boston. The search is conducted without a search warrant but rather on the basis of a writ of assistance, a legal process that had been declared illegal by the English courts. Robinson's men proceed to ransack Emory's house.
At a public house, Samuel Adams recounts the colonists' grievances against the crown. Emory arrives and tells Adams what has happened at his house. Adams and Emory visit Otis's house. They tell Otis what happened and ask for Otis's assistance in voiding writs of assistance. Otis initially demurs, noting that as advocate general it is his duty to defend the writs. Adams appeals to Otis's conscience to stand up to the viciousness of Robinson and Governor Bernard. Otis agrees to speak to the Governor.
A second merchant appeals to Otis to represent him in challenging the writs of assistance. Otis's sister, Mercy Warren, overhears the merchant's appeal and urges Otis to side with the people of Boston. Otis worries that standing against the Governor will damage his career.
At a party attended by the Governor, Otis is asked about rumors that he intends to represent a group of merchants in challenging the legality of writs of assistance. Otis says he has been approached and that he is considering the matter. Otis asks the Governor to consider voluntarily abandoning the writs. The Governor orders Otis that, as advocate general, he must defend the writs in Court. Otis refuses to defend an illegal act and resigns his post.
Part one closes with Otis at home after the party. He watches a lightning storm with his daughter, Mary, and says, "I've always had a curious feeling that, when God almighty in his providence should take me from time into eternity, it should be by a bolt of lightning."
Otis asks Sam Adams to review the speech that he will deliver in court the next day, attacking the writs of assistance. Otis's wife scolds Adams for destroying Otis's career and putting the family at risk. Otis explains that he must speak up for the right of men to be secure in the privacy of their homes. Otis worries that, no matter how persuasive he may be, Judge Hutchinson will not listen. Adams expects Otis to lose and opines that war will ultimately be needed. Otis still hopes the dispute can be settled through the courts.
Otis rehearses the speech for his daughter, Mary. The rehearsal fades out, and Otis is delivering his speech before Judge Hutchinson. Otis argues that the writs annihilate the sacred human right of a man to be secure in his house. He argues that a man is sovereign in his own house and that his rights there are inalienable. And if upheld, Otis urges that the people will resist.
In a gathering of Otis's wife and daughter following the speech, Mary defends her father. Otis's wife and their older daughter feel ashamed that Otis has disgraced the family.
The Governor meets with Robinson and asks Robinson to show Otis and the other trouble-makers the error of their ways.
Sam Adams informs Otis that his speech is being printed and distributed throughout the colonies where its message will be like a lightning bolt. After hearing the speech in court, John Adams is introduced to Otis and congratulates him for the speech. Robinson enters the pub and confronts Otis. One of Robinson's men hits Otis in the head with a club. Otis sustains a brain injury, and the doctor tells the family that he will require constant care for a long time.
Years have passed, and Otis's sister, now a spy for the patriots, visits Otis's home. She is told that Otis's mind is almost completely gone. He came out from the shadows briefly but the shadows have returned.
The Battle of Bunker Hill is fought. Otis hears the battle and is pleased that the people are resisting. He insists he is not too sick to join the fight. He joins the patriots in the battle.
Otis returns home after the battle. He describes the battle as "a fine beginning, a fine first page". Six more years pass, and in the closing scene, Otis learns of the peace treaty. Otis again looks into the lightning and asks, "What is lightning but a bond of fire binding heaven to earth?" A bolt of lightning then strikes him down.
Chasing wild success, a village hustler follows his cousin from Nigeria to Kenya and stumbles into the shady business affairs of a notorious overlord.
A monk engaged in devotional flower-arranging is handed a beautiful moonflower by a woman, who then disappears into the flower.
Alerted to the love-story between Prince Genji and the woman named (after the flower) Yūgao or Yugao, the monk goes to the scene of the initial meeting of the pair, which was marked by a Hajitomi, or lattice, upon which the flower was entwined.
A spirit appears, which reminisces about the pair’s meeting over a yūgao bloom, and the poetry the two exchanged. As opposed to the love story’s ultimate tragedy, Hajitomi stresses the nostalgic memory of the flower-woman for her initial meeting with the Prince.[Goff, J. E. (1982). The Tale of Genji as a Source of the Nō: Yūgao and Hajitomi. ''Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies'', 42(1), 177–229. https://doi.org/10.2307/2719124 p. 198]

As Ichika and the others are doing a live demonstration in the Kirakira Patisserie in Paris, a sentinent evil whisk pops up and causes the girls to transform and fights the whisk. Then, a whisk curses Parfait, which causes her to revert to her fairy form as Cure Kirarin. Later that night at the sweets convention, Ciel encounters Jean Pierre, a patisserie who saved her and Pikario from flock of crows years prior. He invites the girls to his workshop, which Cook pops up from the recipe book, revealing as a self proclaimed assistant to Jean-Pierre. Ciel them makes a cream for Jean-Pierre, which he disapproves and scolds her as not to use her weak state of mind as an excuse.
The next day, Ciel's skills hasn't improved, which Ichika and the others help out and makes mille-feuille with her. As they finish baking, the evil whisk shows up again and curses the other contestants, which Pekorin deduced that the whisk is the culprit. Arriving at Jean-Pierre's workshop, Yukari also deduces that Cook is culprit behind the whisk and Jean-Pierre's odd behavior. Cook lets the experimental sweets loose in the city, which the Cures went to stop them, but Cook also manages to turn other Cures into animals that oppose their themes. Then, ''Witchy PreCure!'' team: Cures Miracle, Magical and Felice arrives and tackles rest of Cook's minions. The Cures arrives to Jean-Pierre's basement, but are too late, as Cook pushes Jean-Pierre into the batter, turning him into an Ultimate Sweet.
Ciel tries to transform as the curse is preventing her to do so, but with the power of the Miracle Lights, the Cures are not only uplifted from their curses, but also gains an upgraded form. Cook discourages the Cures, but Macaron realizes that Cook was one of the aspiring patisseires that was betrayed by humans. The Cures then decorates the mille-feuille, and gives it to Jean-Pierre, freeing him from Cook's influences. In her last effort, Cook becomes an Ultimate Sweet and tries to attack the Cures, but the mille-feuille becomes a special Animal Sweet, which the Cures uses its powers and attacks Cook with "Pretty Cure Animal Go Round". In the end, Ciel is awarded as a runner-up in the award ceremony, but isn't discouraged and vows to be victorious next time.
During the credits, the Cures places the Eiffel Tower back to its original place, while Jean-Pierre finds an apprentice that looks like Cook.
In a brief opening sequence, a mob is seen beating a man in the street until he is left unconscious.
Television journalist Charles Collingwood appears on screen to explain that the teleplay is based on the book released the same day by U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O Douglas.
Citizens begin entering the town hall and take seats. The man who was beaten, John Carter, is part of the group, as are the men who beat Carter.
After engaging in small talk, they realize that none of them knows who called the meeting or why. Having no known purpose for being there, the group decides to leave, but a thunder storm and sudden mid-day darkness stops them.
The newspaper editor, Ben Philips, asks the crowd why Carter was beaten, mostly by men in that room. The men reply that "he deserved every bit of it", "he's a dangerous guy," and "we don't need his kind around here".
The group realizes that the clock on the wall and all of their watches still show 10:24 – the same time it was when they entered the meeting. A telephone call to an automated time service confirms it is 10:24 exactly.
Time is standing still at 10:24. The attendees search for an explanation.
Carter says he doesn't know any of them and asks why they wanted to hurt him. One of the men says he heard from Wilkinson that Carter was saying un-American things. Wilkinson confronts Carter: "Everything about you offends me. You're a trouble-maker. You talk too much. I don't like strangers and particularly I don't like strangers that criticize and disagree." Mr. Nathan, a tailor with a foreign accent, defends Carter. Wilkinson tries to shut Nathan down, but Nathan continues to defend Carter's right to speak.
An elderly woman blames Carter for the stoppage of time, the sudden darkness, and the storm. She believes Carter brought them there like lambs to the slaughter. The mob grabs Carter and says they need to search him. Ben, the newspaper editor, stops the mob and insists that they respect Carter's rights.
Horace Sweetser, the head of the town council, challenges Ben as a rabble-rouser and says that, when this is over, they will stop Ben from printing the things he does. Sweetser's son challenges his father and speaks in defense of freedom of the press. Another man, Sam Hunt, says that boys like Sweetser's son are learning foreign ideas in school. Hunt says he should drive his tractor through the school. The head of the school defends exposing the kids to a variety of ideas, so they can choose for themselves which ideas are good ones.
Wilkinson hits Carter in the face. Time then moves backward to 10:23. Someone suggests time is moving backward because of the blow. Sweetser suggests they can solve the problem by throwing Carter out of the town hall, but this time the crowd does not follow him. Even Wilkinson has a change of heart and won't support Sweetser.
They realize that the date is December 15. A schoolboy says it was on December 15, 1789, that Congress approved the Bill of Rights. Ben says they attacked a man for saying unpopular things. Ben asks the crowd about their freedoms, and each member of the group recites a right protected by the Bill of Rights. Ben says those are the rights that make them strong and free. They must not let anyone destroy those rights.
The crowd now stands united, the clock on the wall begins moving forward, and the crowd then disperses.

“The film reveals the main milestones of the poet's life and career, coinciding with the most tragic events of the 20th century”.
“The fate of Kupała is written in the historical context and is closely connected with the fate of Belarus. Standing at the origins of the formation of the [modern] Belarusian nation, Kupała witnessed the birth of hopes for national revival and became a hostage of the totalitarian Soviet system. The complex personal story of the poet, the clash of the poet and the authorities, the huge poetic gift and love for the native land - all this formed the basis of the plot of the film. "Kupała" is a film about hope, about the continuity of history, about the poet as the embodiment of the national idea of an entire nation."
“The film speaks about love and hate, war and revolution, life and death, creativity and literary gift. What is seen on screen is a story of an outstanding person, a poet of rare talent, whose personal drama and whose mysterious death still excite the minds of researchers and fans”.
In New York City 1926, young Adaline Ardan watches firemen search through the burnt remained of a theatre for her young friend, Bianca. As they find the body, dead, Adaline breaths in relief.
"I'm safe now." - ''What Ruined Adaline, by Campbell Timms''''50 years later'', Adaline has lived out her career as a famous film actress, now running out of money and fame after not appearing on camera for years. With advice from her agent Hamish Wright, she attends a dinner with director Edmond Falconer and his wife Evelyn, who are holding audition for a new film. Conflict arises between Evelyn and Adaline who do not get alone despite admiring each other.
Adaline attends the audition, learning it is in fact a three-audition process, much to her disappointment. On the way out she deceives some young competition for the role she feels threatened by, saying Edmond is too busy to see her, which is a lie. She takes the girl, Gillian, out for dinner where she runs into Carolina Mace, the sister of Bianca, her friend who died during the fire from her childhood. They discuss their childhoods and how Carolina took on the burden of her mother after Bianca died and her other sister ran away from home. Gillian and Adaline head home, never seeing each other again.
Adaline wakes up the next morning and imagines her husband, Ben, who left her years earlier, is back with her again. She knows it is crazy but does not want to admit he is not real. She opens the door after hearing the bell and finds Evelyn, trying to bribe an apology with homemade muffins. Evelyn suggests Adaline put in effort to get to know her husband is she wants Edmond to give her the role. Adaline takes these words to seriously and seduces Edmond into sleeping with her, committing adultery on his wife.
Adaline gets home to find a threatening note beneath her door. She looks into the street to try and find who left it but the street is baron and she realises she is alone.
In a flashback to her marriage with Ben, Adaline and her husband have hidden themselves away from publicity at their holiday house while Adaline's gives birth and raises her daughter for the first few months. She has told no one of her daughter, named Bianca after her deceased, not even close family. Her and Ben face emotional turmoil, raising the child by themselves without assistance. One day while Ben is out, Adaline takes a bath with Bianca having had a little to drink. She falls asleep and wakes hours later to find the baby gone, having died and been buried by Ben while she slept. Days pass, and she begs Ben to tell her where the child is buried but he refuses, saying it will make the child's death real to her if she knows it's place of burial. Adaline and Ben have intercourse, with him leaving her hours later in the middle of the night.
Back in the 1960's, Adaline visits Hamish and searches for answers as to who could be blackmailing her and what for. She believes it is the death of baby Bianca, which only he knows about, but he thinks it is most likely something else. She mentions another incident from a long time ago.
She goes to the second audition. On the way inside, however, she runs into a girl, Millicent, who mentions the fire from her childhood. Fearing she is the one blackmailing her, Adaline bails on the audition and chases Millicent into the rain, falling into a puddle as she grabs her attention. She heads back to Millicent's apartment where she learns her mother was a great fan of Adaline's and was simply there when the fire happened, knowing nothing about it's cause. Millicent tells Adaline, as she goes to leave, that another girl trying for the part, Gillian, was murdered the night before.
Adaline wakes to see Hamish's receptionist placing another note below his door. She goes to his office, demanding he admit to doing it. However, his receptionist admits she was paid anonymously to do it and knows not of the contents of the notes. The police suddenly show up at Hamish's office and arrest Adaline. She is interviewed by a Detective who believes she killed Gillian and the newly deceased Millicent. Having no evidence to hold her there, they are forced to let Adaline go.
Fearing her place in the film is lost, she visits Edmond the next day. He not only tells her she has got the role in the film but that they caught the killer, a fan of Adaline's who was following her and committing the murders. She is happy, but something to her doesn't feel right about the crime's result. The two decide they wish to better themselves and not sleep together again, their relationship becoming strictly professional.
The next morning, at their house, Evelyn catches Edmond packing his suitcase to leave her. She struggled with the idea of divorce, but he insists he is not happy and leaves.
Adaline visits Hamish with her concerns about the incarceration of the killer. She struggled to believe the story, how he was able to follow her, get the address of the girls and then hurt them but not her. She realises the only one with access to the addresses of the girls is Edmond, deciding he must somehow be behind it. She drives away despite Hamish's concerns and heads to the Falconer's residence.
Getting there, she find Evelyn in the basement, smashing Edmond's vast quantities of vodka in anger. Adaline becomes concerned about her until she realises it is her who was blackmailing her and who hired the man to kill the girls and frame her for their death. Evelyn reveals herself to be Bianca's sister, getting revenge for her sister's death all those years earlier. Adaline removes the basement doorstopper to protect herself but locks Evelyn and herself in the basement.

The coffeehouse was the group of friends’ regular, “special” spot where they spoke about life, touching upon all topics from their daily lives and routine spent with their family, such as going to the cinema and planting, to their moments at school and what each of them pursued after graduating, Sadeq founded a copper factory, Tariq became a poet, Hamada pursuing law, and their love life, marriages, and the questions of love and death.
The coffeehouse was considered “haram” to the friends’ parents because of topics discussed, trying out new stuff to them such as smoking hookah and drinking, and telling each other the adventures of how love from the first sight felt like from dopamine rushes, nervousness, and failures.
Political arguments would arise throughout the times of British conquest, wars, and political issues overall, causing protests. Teaching civics was a huge risk at that time despite that it was still done due to the fact that it revealed so much, causing attachment to the homeland. Religious differences would appear, “It is not just Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, we have here. It is also AlWafd”, as one of the friends would say.
Cultural conflicts would separate between Tahir and his family, as he’d say that “parents need a new way to raise children”. He fought with his parents because they wanted him to be a doctor, but he failed with that. He only succeeded with writing poems in a magazine. His parents considered him as a failure, to the point of refusing him to marry a nurse, who they thought was going to be of a bad reputation that he, with a "bad reputation", is married to a lady with a "good reputation". so he cut contact with them, and managed to marry her in their 20s.
The coffeehouse lives with them throughout all their moments; successful love, failed love, newborn children, the death of their parents. new career changes; Taher was invited to join in creating music for movies, and Hamada pursued law through work from home. In light of life changes, and finding partners, questions would arise about the philosophy of pure love and how it can be real, maintaining a lifetime of happiness.
The same life is inherited by the new generations. Sadeq’s children are religious like him, and he wanted Sabri to take over his trading business after he died. Ibrahim wanted to marry Doraya, Tariq’s daughter.
The novel ends with the group celebrating the 70 years of friendship which seemed like a minute ago. Ismaeel thought deeply about music once played by the Rubab instrument, until Sadeq recited Surah Ad-Duhaa from the Qur'an, waking him up from his thoughts.

Told in the first-person, the story unfolds in an unidentified country in Latin America.
An unnamed professional American photographer, traveling alone, arrives in a small town of ''Tapiama'' (a fictional location). He takes lodging in a cheap hotel, and awakes in the middle of the night plagued by the humidity, heat, insects and mild intestinal pain. To escape these discomforts, he dresses and embarks on a stroll along the deserted sea front in the darkness. He considers removing his clothing to enhance his sudden sense of “pure freedom.” Violating his own self-imposed limit to his walk (“fifteen minutes”), he approaches a glowing bonfire in the distance: a small craft is floating near the beach. When the photographer approaches, the naked boatman inquires ''“Tapiama? Vas a Tapiama?''. On an impulse the American boards the craft. He is entirely ignorant of its destination. About an hour later the boat arrives at a primitive ''cantina'' frequented by laborers employed by a sugar processing plant, the fictional Compañía Azucarera Riomartillense.
Identifying himself as a Dane to conceal his American citizenship (“they don’t like millionarios [i.e.Americans] here, you know” he is warned), the photographer enters the establishment. He begins to consume servings of the ''cumbiamba ,'' “the coastal region’s favorite drink, a herbal concoction famous for its treacherous effects.” The beverage produces hallucinogenic-like sensations, and the photographer slowly descends into a paranoiac stupor. He interacts with a number of the denizens of the ''cantina'': a supercilious and hostile off-duty Latin soldier, an ex-patriot American from Milwaukee, a local female prostitute. He becomes increasingly alarmed about his mental state, and is warned of the physical danger that threatens him: “These guys mean trouble from the word go.” The photographer reflects: “This is not going to work out right, at all. It’s just not going to work out.”
At dawn he flees the ''cantina'', now appearing to him as a phantasmagoria of hellish sounds and images, and staggers back to the boat. He is ferried from the shore by a group of local workers, his fate unknown.
Norton, an American University professor, has taken an early retirement on an unidentified Caribbean island off the coast of Cuba following the death of his wife; her financial legacy allows him to do so comfortably. Despite the strenuous objections of his elder brother, Charles, Norton removes his 16-year-old son, Racky from school to serve as his companion. They share a rental property at the remote Cold Point, a tropical paradise, whose amenities include a number of native house servants, a cook and a groundskeeper, Peter. Racky begins to make mysterious visits to the nearby village of Orange Walk. Norton suppresses his own anxiousness about these excursions, even after a local woman warns him “Keep your boy at home, Mahn.” Later, Norton is visited by a parish constable, who informs him that his son Racky “has no shame. He does what he pleases with all the young boys, and the men, too, and gives them a shilling so they won’t tell about it.” Norton is dismayed and offended by these reports, but is daunted at the prospect of confronting his son. When a physical altercation occurs between Peter and Racky, the groundskeeper is dismissed. The household staff becomes demoralized. Racky rejects the suggestion by his father that he resume his schooling. Norton takes him to Havana, finds an apartment for him and buys him an automobile. Norton returns to Cold Point to live in isolation.
The film was produced to provide solutions to problems that usually arise between the mother and daughter-in-law in a comical and entertaining way.
The story is written in the third-person limited Omniscient, where the focal character is Aileen. The setting is in a village near Barranquilla, Columbia Aileen is attending college near Northampton, Massachusetts (presumably Smith College. Her mother, who is estranged from Aileen’s father, has moved back to the large family properties in tropical Columbia, staffed by local servants. She invites Aileen to visit during the summer school break. The mother’s companion, Prue, lives on the estate, and though never made explicit to Aileen, they are lesbian lovers. Prue, an artisan, works in her studio. The mother is preoccupied with an architectural home improvement, a cantilevered wing that overhangs precariously over a deep gorge adjacent to the house. The two women are self-absorbed in their comfortable lifestyles and relationship. In the invitation note, Aileen’s mother engages in mild recriminations, disparaging her for earlier descriptions of Prue as “peculiar” and for “not liking her much.” The note is a cheerful and chatty inventory of the operations on the estate, with fulsome praise for Prue. The missive lacks any expression of intimacy towards her daughter.
Aileen lands at the Barranquilla airport, expecting the two women to meet her. She finally finds them at a local cantina. When Aileen sprains her ankle entering the establishment, she is taken to the estate and convalesces for the next few days.
Several encounters between Prue and Aileen reveal that Prue resents the girl’s visit. Supercilious and hostile toward the younger woman, her bullying is met with passive incredulity by Aileen. The mother interviews Aileen, expressing hurt and dismay that she is “not getting on very well with Prue.” When the mother terms her daughter as merely a “guest”, Aileen responds that Prue “is a maniac.” The contretemps deepens the estrangement between mother and daughter.
Aileen, enthralled by the beauty of the tropical landscape, takes an early morning walk across the nearby river and wanders into a poor, rural hamlet. She is approached by a young man who beacons to her. Leaning forward, he spits a mouthful of water in her face. Aileen, outraged, flings a stone at the perpetrator as he retreats into his hut; a scream is heard.
When she returns to the house, Prue informs her that her mother, not finding her in bed, has “had a fit” and savagely berates her for causing the couple anxiety. The mother determines that Aileen has upset the harmony of the household and is told she must depart. The climax occurs in a final confrontation between Aileen and Prue the following day. As the girl prepares to leave, the older woman begins to harass her verbally. In a last parting shot, she flicks water in Aileen’s face: “the reaction was instantaneous.” Aileen, furious and humiliated, begins to pummel Prue with her fists, then kicks her as she falls to the floor, uttering “the greatest scream of her life.” Aileen departs on her journey towards Barranquilla, affecting her liberation from her mother and Prue.

Hannah and Leo are teenage siblings from a competitive family. Hannah takes classes in interpretive dancing, hoping to be at the forefront of an upcoming dance meet, while Leo's time is taken up mostly by wrestling, which requires him to make weight and undergo a strict regimen of diets and training. This focus on Leo leaves Hannah, 17 years old, largely up to her own devices. She works part-time at a doughnut shop, and spends time socially with her friends. One day, she and her best friend, Kayden, are browsing the internet in Hannah's bedroom when they accidentally come upon a pro-ana blog on Tumblr, which features multiple gifs of unnaturally-thin people, skeletons, cinematography from ''The Lovely Bones'', and motivational quotes that mock fat people and offer tips on how to avoid eating. Kayden is briefly curious but soon becomes bothered by the blog and leaves it, closing Hannah's laptop. Hannah returns to the blog after Kayden leaves, and joins a forum featured there, which is moderated by the mysterious and enigmatic "ButterflyAna". Hannah envisions the forum's visitors in her mind as real people, all abnormally thin and attractive-looking, attending an exclusive club adorned with rainbow string lights for a party, but no food or drinks anywhere. "ButterflyAna" visually appears looking like supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw, and relates to Hannah's inner feelings of poor self-esteem and concerns about things such as her weight, perceived stomach distention and eating too much.
At first, as Hannah begins to eat less and less, nobody takes notice. Her parents are mildly confused but initially do not care until her mother happens to walk in on Hannah and find the pro-ana blog open on her computer. Disturbed by it, she begins closely monitoring Hannah's internet browsing activity, while Hannah's father insists that this invasion of privacy is unnecessary if Hannah is not actively using the blog; to prove to her parents that she is eating, Hannah consumes a breakfast muffin in front of them. They are too occupied by Leo's upcoming wresting competition to focus on Hannah, and they urge Leo to make weight and keep his attention on winning. Meanwhile, Hannah's behaviour gets worse. Her friendships suffer, and she rudely insults her dance coach, Ms. Christie, who observes Hannah nearly fainting at a dance practice and forces her to stop attending the classes until she is willing to go to mental health counselling. At the doughnut shop, Hannah is told by her boss to dispose of a bag of half-eaten donuts that have gone stale in the dumpster. In a starvation-induced panic, Hannah rips open a garbage bag and eats most of the old donuts, only to then vomit them up. Hannah visits the forum and admits that she slipped up by eating the old donuts, but "ButterflyAna" is unsympathetic, chastising Hannah for gaining weight. She offers to "help" Hannah by making the younger girl her new "personal project", the ultimate epiphany of thinness, which Hannah readily accepts. The visual rainbow string light party club imagined by Hannah has deteriorated into a frightening, decayed backdrop with dark colours, and all the other Forum members swiftly flee the blog, fearing that their own parents will catch them there if Hannah's mother reports any of it. One forum member, who goes by "HipHopK" as their screen name, gives Hannah a serious warning to stay away from the pro-ana blog. Hannah assumes that Kayden is "HipHopK", but upon confronting Kayden with this accusation, Kayden argues that she has no idea who that person is, and also that she finds the pro-ana blog creepy.
Hannah's mother goes into Hannah's room to check on her, and discovers her daughter's bedroom walls covered in cutouts from magazines of thin supermodels and women in bikinis. She finds a strange number of moths fluttering around the room, accompanied by a pungent smell, and the curtains have been drawn closed, making the room extremely dark. Hannah's mother opens the bedroom closet and sobs hysterically when she discovers numerous dinner plates of moldy food hidden among Hannah's clothing. The moth caterpillars are feeding on the food and laying eggs there. Hannah comes home, looking haggard and pale, and she flies into a rage upon finding that her mother has gone through her room. She confronts her mother and begins to tear up the room in fury, but she then collapses and is taken to the hospital. Her parents' insurance coverage gives Hannah a brief number of inpatient counselling sessions, during which Hannah is forced to confront her mental illness. She realizes the physical damage that she has done to her body, and also realizes that "ButterflyAna" is not a real friend to her. After painting a picture of her anorexia as personified by a dark, sinister butterfly in black ink, which she hangs among similar artworks made by other minors suffering from eating disorders, Hannah is able to return home, in part because her parents' insurance will cover no further sessions at the hospital. Hannah is at risk for relapsing back into her old habits, and so her parents need to keep a close eye on her. Hannah tries to distract herself from the internet by going with her parents to attend Leo's wrestling competition at school. Leo nearly wins, but his opponent recoils in horror after Leo falls unconscious underneath him. When Leo is brought to the hospital, it is revealed that his heart has given out at that he is being kept on life support, showing no brain activity. Hannah's father is outraged at the suggestion from the doctor that Leo himself suffered from an eating disorder, arguing that "boys and athletes" don't suffer from such things. Hannah comes to the realization that Leo himself is the unknown "HipHopK" after discovering that her brother had carved the words "don't eat" on his own stomach, a "marking" that had been on the screen name's profile photo. Leo dies in the hospital, surrounded by his family. After Leo's death, Hannah is welcomed back to dance class by Ms. Christie, who hugs her and praises her for facing her illness. Hannah then seeks out the real "ButterflyAna", and finds a homeless adult woman who is living with self-induced starvation, hoarding decaying cosmetics and beauty supplies and keeping an old laptop computer with her. Strangely, the homeless woman does in fact appear to have a small house, but does not inhabit it at all; the house looks filthy and neglected. The homeless woman claims not to be "ButterflyAna", but finally admits the truth after hearing that "HipHopK" has died. She apologizes for the loss of Hannah's brother, and says that she didn't know the pro-ana blog was hurting other people. Hannah tells the homeless woman that she hopes she gets better soon and seeks help, after which she starts a self-esteem inspiration website in honour of Leo's memory, which contains only positive inspirational quotes and no pro-ana content at all.

For the past year, a dog named Spot has been dressing as a boy named Scott Leadready II and going to school with his master Leonard Helperman. Leonard is looking forward to spending the summer with his dog, but Spot wants to become a real human boy ("I Wanna Be a Boy"). Mary Lou Helperman, the fourth-grade teacher and Leonard's mother, is nominated for a "Teacher of the Year" award, and given use of Principal Strickler's Wentawaygo to travel to the finals in Sunny Southern Florida, under the condition that no dogs are allowed in the RV. Leonard sadly bids farewell to Spot ("A Boy Needs a Dog") as he and his mother depart.
Spot, along with the Helpermans' other pets, Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly, are left with a pet-sitter where ''The Barry Anger Show'''s special guest is a "wacko" named Dr. Ivan Krank, who claims he can turn animals into human beings, who happens to be located in Sunny Southern Florida. Spot chases down the RV and meets up with Leonard at a gas station. Spot, as Scott, fools Mrs. Helperman into believing that his family has allowed him to travel with the Helpermans. Spot, Leonard, and Mrs. Helperman continue on their way to Florida, singing through all fifty states ("A Whole Bunch of World").
Meanwhile, back at home, Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly learn that Krank can't actually turn animals into people, but rather into terrifying hybrid creatures. They decide that they must track down Spot and stop him from being turned into a monster, but Mr. Jolly is afraid to leave the house. Pretty Boy assures him that they can be tough despite their size ("Small But Mighty")
Upon arriving in Florida, Mrs. Helperman goes directly to the Teacher of the Year finals, and Spot reveals to Leonard the real reason he came to Florida. Leonard is skeptical, but accompanies Spot to Krank's lab, where Krank agrees to turn Spot human, and gives him a nickel as payment for being his test subject. Krank anticipates finally being respected in the scientific community ("I, Ivan Krank") and turns the machine on Spot.
Spot wakes up to find that he is indeed human, but due to dog time, he is a fully-grown man rather than a boy. Krank locks Leonard and "Scott" up, planning to exhibit the "dog-man" around the world, proving wrong those who said it could not be done. Ian, Krank's nephew and Leonard and Spot's classmate, is tricked into setting them free. Krank grounds Ian and sends his two previous creations, Dennis, a human-alligator hybrid, and Adele, a fly hybrid, off to find them. Leonard and Scott are hungry and Scott's clothes no longer fit him. Scott uses the Twilight Bark to locate a lost dog with a $100 reward, along with four puppies she had birthed. This prompts the dog's owner to give them $500. Now rolling in money, Leonard and Scott enjoy a day on the town. ("Take the Money and Run")
The two lose track of time, but manage to make it back to the Wentawaygo just in time for dinner, forgetting that Mrs. Helperman will not recognize Scott in his new body. Scott and Leonard quickly make up a story that Scott Leadready II had to go home, and the nearest adult, Scott Manly-Manning, helped him out. Mrs. Helperman invites Scott in for coffee and soon begins to fall for him. Scott considers marrying Leonard's mother so they can all stay together, but Leonard refuses to allow it. Scott tells Leonard he's not his dog anymore, and Leonard tells him to leave, taking back his collar. ("I'm Moving On").
Pretty Boy and Jolly finally make it to Florida, and help Leonard realize that he should support Scott's dream. He comes to the conclusion that the only way they can be together is for him to be turned into Scott's dog. ("A Boy Needs a Dog (Reprise)"). Scott arrives moments after Leonard leaves, and after getting over the shock of seeing Spot as a human, Pretty Boy and Jolly tell him that Leonard has gone to Krank's lab.
Krank plans to turn Leonard into a dog and use him as bait to get Scott back, and then he will have both the boy-dog and the dog-man. Scott arrives at the lab and destroys Krank's machine by inserting the nickel that Krank had given him earlier into a slot on the machine marked "Quarters Only". The machine starts firing at random, turning Krank into a mouse and seemingly killing Scott, turning him into a pile of blue dust. Leonard angrily beats the machine and it fires at the blue dust and turns Scott back into his original dog form. Leonard and Spot reunite, and Spot decides that he is "Proud to Be a Dog".
A teenage orphan girl, Iyanu, lives in Yorubaland, a magical land, and triggers her magical powers by accident, joining two two other teens to discover the reality of evil in her homeland, and learn about her past in the process.
The main plot of ''VAS: An Opera in Flatland'' involves the domestic tensions that arise within the family as the character Square contemplates a request by his spouse, Circle, to undergo a medical procedure that will render him sterile. Like Edwin A. Abbott’s 1884 novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, Square, Circle, and their daughter Oval, live in a world that is populated by two-dimensional beings, but who have many of the day-to-day concerns of contemporary life, here, those of present-day Midwestern America where the novel is set (the Flatland of the title, which also refers to the flat pages of the book in which the characters reside). In this sense, the plot is a domestic drama in which the characters contend with the realities of everyday life: love, marriage, work, the politics of the day, the education of their daughter Oval, caring for Circle’s aging mother, and other common concerns. During a previous pregnancy, an exam required for insurance purposes revealed that Circle may be carrying a fetus with a possible birth defect. On the basis of this information, Circle opted to terminate the pregnancy. Neither Square nor Circle regrets the decision, but neither wants to make a choice like that again. They also dread having to make similar weighty decisions about Circle’s aging mother. As the novel unfolds, Circle puts increasing pressure on Square to undergo a vasectomy. Simultaneously, her mother encourages both of them to go to the opera, convinced as she is that the romance of the opera will help them conceive a second child to be a brother or sister to Oval.
A number of subplots intertwine with this main action, especially historical trends and cultural developments that have led to the present of the novel. These include: the evolution of biological forces; the history of genetic policing from the early days of eugenics to contemporary genetic counseling; the close tracking between family trees and the etymologies of family names; the history of life science’s understanding of the body and its disconnect with the language used to describe it. As Square and Circle grapple with decisions that people in the past did not have to confront, the body emerges as the meeting place of culture and nature. The human body is increasingly seen as both material and information against a background of the history of body manipulation up to the present of genetically engineered plants and animals. In this sense, some critics describe the novel as being organized less by a linear plot of cause and effect, than by collage which requires readers to combine fragments to see even larger patterns. Other critics describe Tomasula’s fiction by using the principle of emergence whereby many small actions create patterns that combine with other patterns to create even larger patterns, cumulating in the culture of a time and place. In either case, the plots and subplots of VAS weave in and out of each other to create a dramatization of one ordinary family living at a time when culture at large is transitioning from that of the human to that of the posthuman, and ordinary life is shown to be enmeshed with vast forces of history and evolution.Banash, David, & Spain, Andrea (2015). “Composition, Emergence, Sensation: Science and New Media in the Novels of Steve Tomasula.” In Banash, David (ed.). ''Steve Tomasula: The art and science of new media fiction'' (pp. 3-23). Bloomsbury. https://doi.org/doi:10.5040/9781501304811.ch-001
In the penultimate scene, Square and Circle go to an opera whose climax is the staging of the nonfictional experimental surgery in which Dr. Robert J. White transplanted the head of one ape onto the body of another. The novel ends with Square in an operating theater, lying down on an operating table for the procedure.

Afterwards, Fark is told he is a copy of Freom's fundamental data, as Freom was incapable of transferring his own consciousness to a different body.

Alyssa Lennox, a young woman, has been accepted (much to the chagrin of her parents, who wanted her to attend university) to the Metropolitan Ballet Company, an elite dance academy with extremely rigorous physical standards for its members, including new apprentice ballerinas. Alyssa is humiliated on her first day for being late, with company manager Michael Gregory mocking her and suggesting that she will most likely drop out of the school since she apparently doesn't care enough about being there on time. Alyssa is further embarrassed during a rehearsal and weigh-in when she fails to "pull up" her lower stomach during a dance move, which makes her look bloated. Ukrainian expat and former prima ballerina Ms. Verchenko suggests to Alyssa that she lose a few pounds, but recommends that she be very careful not to go too far, and to seek medical advice before dieting. Michael Gregory, in turn, is much ruder to Alyssa, and argues that she should lose a great deal of weight if she wants to be a serious dancer. Later that week, Jillian, Metropolitan's most famous current ballerina, dies of heart failure in the midst of a rehearsal dance, which Michael Gregory initially believes is just her being lazy and not wanting to go through with the routine. He later attempts to counsel the other ballerinas at Metropolitan, urging them to quickly move on rather than grieve the loss.
Alyssa and her mother (Helene Lennox, an amateur sculptor) go to Jillian's funeral, where Jillian's mother, Kathleen, confides in Helene that she was a former ballerina herself and may have pushed Jillian too far to succeed. As time goes on, Alyssa moves from her parents' family home to some low-rent apartments closer to Metropolitan to avoid longer commute times. With no parental guidance or supervision, Alyssa quickly falls into various tricks of the trade at the ballet school to be thin, including self-starvation, hiding drastic weight loss by taping rolled-up coins under her hair, street drugs and self-induced vomiting. At one point, Alyssa and her boyfriend Zack, a fellow dancer, are nearly caught by the police buying drugs. Alyssa breaks up with Zack when she discovers him in a hot tub with another girl. Between Zack's apparent infidelity and increasingly harsh comments from Michael Gregory, Alyssa's only guidance comes from Ms. Verchenko, who suspects that Alyssa has an eating disorder and is hiding it. Without proof, she can't force Alyssa to take any time off from Metropolitan. Alyssa becomes gradually weaker, eventually fainting and crashing her car into a telephone pole, after which she is taken to the hospital and her parents confront her. She is given no recovery time at Metropolitan, and is made to leave the school. Ms. Verchenko is furious at this, and reveals that she herself suffers from osteoporosis and internal organ damage that ruined her own dancing career after she fell into the same behaviours as Alyssa in her youth. Michael Gregory is surprised by Ms. Verchenko's disobedience, but unfazed.
Alyssa's parents obtain the keys to her apartment in order to clean the place out for the next tenant. There, they find disturbing paraphernalia including plush figurines of anthropomorphic pigs dressed up in ballet tutus, and comments with fatphobic slurs in them painted in lipstick on Alyssa's closet mirror, apparently by Alyssa herself, as a makeshift shrine to weight loss inspiration. Alyssa, meanwhile, is forced to attend an eating disorder clinic, where she learns that her own therapist once suffered from an eating disorder herself years prior. This convinces Alyssa that positive change and recovery are possible. Helene goes to visit Kathleen, who reveals that she wishes she could hold Metropolitan accountable for its harsh treatment of its dancers. Kathleen and Helene take legal action against the academy, with the help of Ms. Verchenko and Dave Lennox, Alyssa's father. Alyssa, still unable to dance due to health complications, is permitted to return to Metropolitan for its annual public dance performance, where she and Ms. Verchenko give a speech about eating disorders, dedicating the performance to Jillian and the earned monetary proceeds to an eating disorder charity. Michael Gregory observes, annoyed and ashamed, as the ballet performance (an unnamed jungle-themed story) opens for the first time that year.

In the 1970s, Greg, Panyong, Art, Alet, Estong, and Susie, all members of various student organizations, host and attend a picket rally, along with members of the Catholic Church, Sister Claire and Sister Josie. The rally denounced the government of the incumbent Philippine President, ''Apo'' (an allegory for Ferdinand Marcos), and was part of the beginning of the First Quarter Storm. Ka Manding arrives at the rally after a meeting where they stated their demands to government officials: a non-partisan constitutional convention, among others. He tells a few others about his daughter who was returning to the Philippines from the United States after the death of her mother. A team of ''METROPOL'' (METROCOM) soldiers led by Lieutenant Sales arrive at the rally, arresting Ka Manding for sedition and rebellion. While driving away, they strangle Ka Manding and, after ensuring there are no witnesses, throw his body down a cliff. The soldiers later return at night, beating the protestors with batons and blasting them with high-pressure water from a fire truck.
Some time after the imposition of Martial Law, Greg meets the daughter of Ka Manding, Lara, at the University of the Philippines. They collect some of Ka Manding's personal belongings from his apartment and head to a safe haven for students who were still outside past curfew: the ''Katips'' house, operated by Alet. Meanwhile, Art the photographer of the Philippine Collegian introduces Lally to the writers of the paper, consisting of Bebang, Susie, and Panyong, who also works as a writer for ''Ang Bayan'', the newsletter of the Communist Party of the Philippines. With the curfew nearing, the writers rush home. While making his way to the Katips house, Panyong narrowly escapes capture from METROPOL officers. After Panyong rants about American influence on the Philippines, Lara enters a heated discussion with him, defending the imposition of martial law and showing support for Apo. Meanwhile, Art introduces Lally to his father, Mang Temyong, a supporter of Apo and a Metro Manila Aide who sweeps the streets of Manila to appease ''Imelda''. Alet, after fighting with Lara about their differing perspectives on life as a Philippine citizen, tells the story of her love interest, Ben, a ''desaparecido'' who disappeared after attending a mass action protest. They then explain the death of Ka Manding to Lara, who then joins their cause.
The main cast assemble again in front of a distillery, ''La Disilleria'', to protest unfair labor practices. During dinner, Alet touts at Panyong for being numb towards her; Panyong defended himself and admits his love for her. The following day, METROPOL officers arrive at the picket, again attacking demonstrators and arresting Art and Estong. The protesters are distraught at the encounter, which left the two arrested missing as they could not be found in nearby precincts. Some time later, Panyong and Greg begin packing to return to the mountains as guerilla soldiers of the New People's Army. Alet is kidnapped by a METROPOL soldier and brought to a torture house. Art and Estong are both shown being brutally tortured by METROPOL officers; they are burned by cigarettes and flat irons, made to sit on ice blocks, had nails removed with pliers, urinated on, and electrocuted. Alet is beaten by Sales, who reveals that Ben is alive and that he had betrayed her as part of his job. Alet is raped by Sales, and all three captured are shot dead. After learning of the discovery of her mutilated corpse, Greg led Panyong to her body, which was found at the side of a river. Panyong swears revenge against the perpetrators and heads to the mountains with Greg. Years later, during the People Power Revolution, Lara takes Alet's place as the caretaker of the ''Katips'' house. As she reads from the ''Malaya'' that Greg and Panyong had died, Greg, who had been mistakenly presumed dead, returns home to her and their son, Greggy.
At the present day, Greggy is revealed to be the museum visitor and a lawyer for Claimants 1081, an organization of martial law victims. Panyong, also mistakenly presumed dead, is the museum curator. The student activists in the 1970s, now elderly, arrive at the inauguration of the museum: the ''Bantayog ng mga Bayani'', dedicated to the victims of human rights abuses during martial law.

Outside Saul's office, she has a conversation with Jesse Pinkman, a friend of Saul's latest client, Emilio Koyama. Jesse notes Saul's shady advertising and asks whether he is a legitimate attorney; Kim replies that he was when she knew him. In 2010, Kim leads a quiet suburban lifestyle in Titusville, Florida, where she has a desk job at Palm Coast Sprinklers. While at work, she receives a call from Jimmy, under an alias, checking in on her; Kim cautions him against calling her amid his fugitive status and tells him to turn himself in. Jimmy angrily refuses, challenging her to turn herself in for her involvement in Howard Hamlin's disappearance.
Kim flies to Albuquerque and visits Cheryl, Hamlin's wife, to whom she gives a written confession detailing her and Jimmy's plot to character-assassinate Howard, as well as the truth of his death. Kim says she submitted the affidavit to the district attorney but notes she might not face prosecution due to the lack of physical evidence or witnesses.

In Omaha, Nebraska, Gene breaks into the home of Mr. Lingk, the latest target of his identity-theft scheme, and locates his financial records and account passwords while he is unconscious. Gene lingers around the house and steals a watch from the foyer. Lingk suddenly awakens and sits on the steps of the foyer; Gene contemplates bludgeoning Lingk with an urn containing his dog's ashes, but Lingk passes out again. Outside, Jeff panics when a police car idles behind him and crashes his taxi into a parked vehicle; the distraction allows Gene to escape while Jeff is arrested for the robbery.
Gene receives a call from Jeff asking to be bailed out of custody. Gene calls Marion to ask her to accompany him, explaining that Nebraska does not require a bondsman to deliver bail; having a family member present would be more compelling to the authorities. Marion, suspicious of Gene's legal knowledge, uses the computer Jeff bought for her using money from the department store heist and discovers "Gene" to be Saul Goodman from his commercials. When Gene arrives, he attempts to intimidate Marion into silence, but she manages to use her Life Alert button to call the authorities, forcing him to flee.

A talking bear, Ted marries his girlfriend, Tami-Lynn. Meanwhile, his best friend, John Bennett has been divorced from Lori Collins for six months. Following a heated argument after being married a year, they decide to have a child. As Ted does not have sperm, John agrees to help find a donor. They ask Sam J. Jones but he declines due to a sperm count of one. Then they unsuccessfully try to break into Tom Brady's house and steal his sperm. Ultimately, John offers to donate his sperm.
Despite Ted and John's efforts, Tami-Lynn's history of drug use has rendered her infertile (despite having been clean for an extended period of time) and they decide to adopt. The background checks put Ted's legal status as a person into question. The state authorities of Massachusetts declare Ted property rather than a person; consequently, he loses his job at Bay Colony Grocery Store, his credit card and bank accounts are terminated and his marriage to Tami-Lynn is forcibly annulled.
John suggests that they take the state to court. They ask the best lawyer they can find, but he offers to assign their case ''pro bono'' to his niece Samantha "Sam", a novice lawyer. They are initially reluctant due to her lack of pop culture knowledge, but bond over their love of marijuana as they prepare to present the case.
Meanwhile, Donny, Ted's life-long stalker, is a janitor at the headquarters of toy company Hasbro, in New York City. He convinces the company CEO to hire an expert attorney to ensure that Ted maintains his status as property, leaving him open to seizure by the firm to create more living teddy bears.
Despite Sam's best efforts, the court rules against Ted. Disheartened and desperate, the trio contact Patrick Meighan, a highly respected civil rights attorney, to help overturn the court's decision. Driving to Manhattan, the trio meet Meighan, who is sympathetic to Ted's plight but ultimately refuses the case, as he believes Ted has not significantly contributed to humanity due to his lifestyle.
Furious at the injustice and jealous of Sam and John's relationship, Ted takes his frustrations out on them and angrily storms off, wandering into the New York Comic-Con. However, Donny discreetly follows him. Once inside, Donny disguises himself as Raphael and tries to kidnap Ted, who runs off, takes refuge under a Bumblebee statue, and contacts John for help. John and Sam arrive and find Ted, just as Donny is about to cut him open. Ted apologizes to John and Sam for snapping at them and make their leave, but Donny severs the cables holding up a model of the USS ''Enterprise'' with a knife and it swings towards Ted. John pushes Ted out of the way, takes the hit, gets knocked unconscious, and falls into a coma. Ted identifies Donny from a group of Ninja Turtle cosplayers through his irresistible urge to dance to "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany and Donny is arrested.
At the hospital, John is still in a coma, and he flatlines. The next day, the doctor informs Sam, Ted and Tami-Lynn that John "didn't make it", shocking the group. The doctor also suggests they can go in and say goodbye to John. In the room, the group is tearfully saying goodbye to John. However, he unexpectedly wakes up and scares the group, and Ted realizes that John had faked being dead as payback for Ted pretending to be brain dead and Ted applauds John for his realistic acting. Although Sam is initially furious over this, she and John kiss as the group rejoices. Meighan decides to take the case, inspired by John's selflessness and Ted's emotions over John, who managed to avoid death. Meighan successfully gets the ruling overturned by demonstrating that Ted is self-aware, that he feels complex emotions, and is capable of empathy. Outside the courthouse, Ted re-proposes to Tami-Lynn. After they are legally re-married, Ted and Tami-Lynn adopt the surname of "Clubber Lang", and adopt a baby boy, who they name Apollo Creed, while John and Sam happily pursue their own relationship.

On a Sunday in 1917, during World War I, two English cartographers from the Ordnance Survey, the pompous George Garrad and his junior, Reginald Anson, arrive at the fictional Welsh village of Ffynnon Garw. Their job is to re-measure certain Welsh mountains, and their first task is to measure Ffynnon Garw.
Garrard is the senior, many years retired from the army. He claims to have surveyed many locations around the British Empire, although he is fundamentally lazy and a drunk. Anson is a younger and much-decorated army officer, invalided out with severe shellshock from fighting in France, and is just starting to enjoy life again.
Most of the men of the village are fighting in France, and those who are not work in the coalmine. The two men put up at the pub ‘Y Ffynnon’ owned by Morgan Morgan, known as Morgan the Goat, the only villager who doesn’t attend chapel. Within a short time, every villager is aware of the arrival of the map makers. They are extremely proud of ‘their’ mountain, which they claim to be the ‘The first mountain in Wales’. Garrard tells them that only if the mountain is 1000feet high or higher, will it appear on official maps.
Two farmers, identical brothers known as Thomas Twp and Thomas Twp Too, are particularly interested in the methods of measurement. (Twp is a Welsh word meaning stupid or ignorant). Garrard, despite his assumed air of authority, doesn’t really understand the technicalities of the measuring instruments he uses, and delegates Anson to explain. Anson tries to describe in simple words what methods they will use to measure the height; starting with pedometers and inclinometers. Then they will use highly sensitive barometers to measure air pressure, but these only work when the pressure is stable. Finally, and most accurately, they will use a transit to compare the mountain’s height with other hills of known height.
The villagers take bets on the final height, but are outraged when Garrard concludes from the first, approximate, measurement, that it is only 984 feet. They are despondent at having ‘lost’ their mountain.
The villagers, aided and abetted by Morgan the Goat, so-called because of the many children he has fathered in the village, and their fiery spiritual leader Reverend Robert Jones, grasp its symbolism in restoring the community's war-damaged self-esteem, and conspire to delay the cartographers' departure so that the measurement can be done again. At a meeting, nominally chaired by Jones the JP, but led by Rev. Jones, the villagers discuss what to do. They consider a petition, but then Morgan proposes that they physically increase the height by adding soil. Rev Jones finds himself, for the first time in his life, in agreement with Morgan, but the meeting has reached a stalemate. Johnny Shellshocked, a badly affected local returned from France, finds the courage to stand and tell the meeting how the army moved earth and built hills in France. He concludes that ‘it’s possible – it’s just hard work.’
Garrard and Anson have a tight schedule and have orders from London to leave in the morning, but the villagers try to delay them. Williams the Petroleum (who doesn’t actually understand anything about motorcar engines) disables their car by breaking a vital part, which can only be replaced by a new part fetched from Cardiff. Morgan enlists his current paramour Betty From Cardiff (also known as Miss Elizabeth) to make up to Anson, which she does, initially with great reluctance. Tommy Twostroke, a miner who owns a motorbike, is enlisted to call out friends and relations in nearby villages, to assist them.
Davies the School, the local teacher, who has nothing to do (all the children are helping carry earth) calculates that they will need 4,714 cubic feet of earth (over 200 tons) to raise the mound to the required height. He doesn’t believe it to be possible, and is the one villager who doesn’t rally to assist. He isn’t locally born and doesn’t have the same feelings about the mountain.
When the cartographers try to catch a train from the local station, they are informed by the stationmaster, Thomas The Trains. that the trains only carry coal, and that there are no passenger trains (which is blatantly untrue). Garrard retires to the pub in a huff to get drunk, but Anson is getting to quite like the villagers and their ways. He also starts to form an attraction for Betty, although she is the one to initially make advances.
Betty, despite her lady-like airs, is a maid-servant in a large house near Cardiff, who visits Morgan on her weekends off in her employer’s chauffeur-driven car. He fine clothes are her mistresses’ hand-me-downs. She recognises and appreciates Anson as a gentleman, compared to the uncouth Morgan (who is also two-timing her with Blod Jones, Johnny’s sister.)
The Twp brothers (who are actually anything but twp), have an uncanny knowledge of weather prediction. They say it will rain, and it does. The mud on the hill starts washing off, lowering the mound. Williams and Johnny climb the mound to place a tarpaulin on the work under construction. But Johnny is caught in a violent thunderstorm and is badly affected. Williams manages to get him down, and at the pub, Anson takes charge and calms him down before Blod arrives to take over.
The rain continues. On Sunday, in chapel, Rev Jones encourages the villagers to finish the work, as the map makers must leave on the Monday morning train. They also cover the mound with turf, with Anson happily joining in the work. But Rev Jones, who has climbed the mountain many times despite his advanced age, suffers a major heart attack. With his last breath, he asks to be buried on the mountain. The site is consecrated by Jones the JP and the Reverend is buried at the summit.
It is now dark and no measurements can be made. Betty persuades Anson to stay up there all night with her and measure the mountain with his transit at first light.
When they descend from the mountain, they inform the people that the mountain is now officially 1002 feet high, and that they are engaged to be married.
In a short epilogue, the author recalls that Mr and Mrs Anson stayed in the village and both taught at the school, after Davies left in a fit of pique. He mentions that two photographs of the events exist, taken by a local pharmacist with an interest in photography, and that every villager later obtained a copy of the new map showing the mountain with the official height.
This short film is about a couple and their struggle with infertility. The film brings to light the many challenges newlywed couples face in the earliest stages of their union.
It also disproves the commonly repeated myth that the woman is the unfortunate spouse who experiences fertility problems.
Sanju (Babushaan Mohanty) is a happy-go-lucky and smart college student. He has a group of four friends with whom he spends his time. A junior simpleton boy is impressed by Sanju's smartness and requests Sanju to include him in his group. Sanju's asks him to come the next day and perform a task, after which he could join the group.
The guy comes the next day. Sanju give him a dare to jump from the edge of a bridge into water. Hesitantly, the guy jumps and his head hits a rock inside water and he starts bleeding profusely. Seeing this, Sanju and his friends flee from the spot. However, police nabs Sanju. His mother gets him released from police custody after the local guardian of the injured boy refuses to file an FIR.
Sanju and his mother are not in good terms with his estranged father (who is a renowned heart surgeon), as he has left him and his mother for another lady. Because of injuring the boy, Sanju is about to get rusticated from the college. But as his mother is a trustee of the college, she requests the authorities to not rusticate him and give Sanju some other punishment. As a punishment, he is sent to a gurukul where he has to mend his ways.
In the gurukul, he meets a very simple and kind hearted girl Padmini (Prakruti Mishra). Seeing the arrogant behaviour of Sanju, the gurukul principal thinks of not accepting Sanju in his gurukul. But at his mother's insistence, Sanju is allowed in the gurukul, with three conditions. First, he has to take care of the cows. Second, he has to teach maths to a boy, who has a reputation of troubling teachers and driving them away. Third, he has to play the lead role of King Dushmanta in the sanskrit drama "Abhigyanam Shakuntalam". Sanju accepts all the conditions and starts spending his time. Initially, he is irked by the discipline of the gurukul. But, slowly he is drawn towards Padmini, who is the principal's daughter. Padmini also likes Sanju, but she hides her feelings. She helps Sanju to learn the sanskrit dialogues and also inspires him to teach the small boy in a practical way, so that he doesn't feel bored. The boy scores very well in his exams.
Finally the day arrives, and the drama is enacted. Sanju and Padmini perform very well in the drama. At the closing scene of the drama, Sanju proposes to Padmini. However, she refuses and leaves with teary eyes. Sanju is taken aback.
Next morning, Padmini gets a heart attack and is taken to the hospital where she is admitted in the ICU. Here Sanju comes to know that Padmini is suffering from a congenital disease in which she often gets heart attacks, and now the frequency has increased. In the hospital, Padmini confesses her love to Sanju.
Doctors say that Padmini needs a heart transplant, which is also very risky. And only the best heart surgeon (Sanju's father) can perform the operation. Sanju then goes to his estranged father, and requests him to cure Padmini at any cost. His father tels him that a heart donor is required who has to be brain dead.
Sanju's father searches out and finds out a patient who is brain dead, and informs Sanju about the hospital where the patient is. Sanju rushes to the hospital, only to find out that the patient who is brain dead is none other than the boy who had jumped into the water at his insistence. His father Babu Rao (Siddhanta Mahapatra) is a cleaning staff who is very protective of his son. Sanju sees Babu Rao and begs forgiveness for whatever he had done to his son, and requests to give his son's heart for Padmini. Babu Rao thinks of taking revenge and asks Sanju to obey whatever he will say to do. Sanju agrees and gives his consent in written. Babu Rao makes Sanju clean the sewer drains and makes him stay there from morning to evening. Sanju does it thinking about saving Padmini. Next, Babu Rao asks Sanju to dig out a hidden intoxicant and give it to a peddler. Sanju does that also after fighting with some goons who were trying to snatch it from him. Next, Babu Rao asks Sanju to jump from the same bridge from where his son had jumped. Sanju is about to jump, but seeing such selfless love, Babu Rao has a change of heart. He agrees to give his son's heart to Sanju. Despite Babu Rao stoping him from jumping, Sanju stilll jumps into the water to prove his love for Padmini, and comes out unscathed. Padmini requests Sanju's father, mother and Sanju to reconcile. They resolve their differences and come together.
The heart transplant operation of Padmini is successful. After getting discharged, she goes searching for Sanju. At his home, she is shocked to find that Sanju is no more. She is unable to believe it. Then it is revealed by Sanju's parents that Babu Rao's son came out from brain dead condition. So, Sanju couldn't ask for the boy's heart any more. Thus, he himself took some injections and made himself brain dead so that his heart can be transplanted into Padmini's body. Hearing this, Padmini's comes running towards Sanju's tomb and cries. The movie ends with Sanju coming in Padmini's imagination and reminding her that he will stay forever with her as her heart.

An American author (her name is not provided) sojourns in the Tangier International Zone during the 1930s, wishing to live cheaply on a generous advance from her publisher while writing a novel. As an unaccompanied Western woman, she has attracted the interest of a handsome, Europeanized Arab youth, Driss. (He ignores Islamic prohibitions on alcohol consumption, and drinks freely). He has established a friendly and proprietary, but not intimate, relationship with her, and she has allowed him to serve as her escort in the evenings. Driss accompanies her to a local cafe for tea and there they join two of his schoolmates, Mijd and Ghazi. She is intrigued by Mijd. When Ghazi remarks that Mijd’s elder brother, the family patriarch, has tuberculosis, Mijd is outraged and silences his comrade. He explains to her that syphilis, leprosy and pneumonia may be admitted in polite company, but never tuberculosis, a disease he associates with degenerate “Paris morals.” The American is aware of the Moslem gender prejudices that prevail among her companions. When the conversation turns to the quality of one’s stockings, she admits that she wears none. Midj is momentarily scandalized, but she reassures the youths by casually laying several hundred francs on the table as she pretends to search for a mirror in her handbag.
Mijd proposes the group have a picnic at his family’s country villa. He encourages the “mademoiselle” to procure ham and wine for the excursion. This flagrant violation of Islamic law distresses Ghazi. Driss, who has been drinking alcohol is “roaring drunk.” Amused, she excuses herself and goes to have lunch alone.
The next day Mijd and Ghazi arrive in a carriage and collect the “English lady” and the provisions. At the picnic site at the villa, the boys devour the forbidden wine and ham, more as an act of defiance against parental rule than because they enjoy it. When Ghazi takes a nap, the woman accompanies Mijd to a secluded garden. There he briefly removes his shirt to prove to her, by the lightness of his skin, the evidence of his European ancestry. He praises her beauty and declares her his “sister.” As they sit quietly together, an overwhelming sense of melancholy seizes her. At a peasant’s dwelling they are given some slightly polluted water to drink. When she questions its source, Mijd reprimands her for a gross lack of etiquette, and smashes the earthen jug.
They return together to the estate to have tea. The woman begins to realize the falsity of her position. She recognizes that her decision to join the boys was as effort to fulfill “an unconscious desire she had harbored for many years. To be free, out-of-doors, with some young men she did not know-could { italics) not know - was probably the important part of the dream.” Her expression of discontent troubles Mijd, but he is content that she remain. When she asks what he does when he skips school, he boasts that he spends the day making love to a 12-year-old mistress in a garret in the Casbah. She realizes her utter inability to bridge the cultural chasm between herself and the Arab boy. She admits to herself “this is over.” Mijd delivers her to her hotel and she informs him of her departure for Paris the next day. In his ignorance, Mijd believes that will correspond, and that someday he will travel with her to America.
The story is set in Tangier, Morocco. The point-of-view is in the third-person Omniscient. and opens In medias res. The work is divided into 8 sections.
Section 1: Mrs. Callender, of English and Spanish descent operates the Pension Callender, with her American husband. She caters to Western expatriates. Socially, Mrs. Callendar is a throughly reactionary on social matters related to sex and gender: “while a boy should have complete liberty, a girl should have none at all.” Her daughter, Charlotte, is soon to arrive from London on her summer break from boarding school. Mrs. Callendar is anxious at the imminent arrival of the 50-something pensioner Monsieur Royer, a seasonal patron who she considers a disreputable “cad.” He has the reputation of being a pedophile. She fears that he will behave disgracefully towards the pretty and chaste Charlotte. Mr. Callender is more lenient on these matters and gently reprimands his wife. The young Mr. Van Siclen is an American archeologist working on an excavation site at the village of El Menar. Mrs. Callendar confides her hostility to Royer with the handsome Van Siclen, and he casually assures her that the villagers of El Menar would leave a child molester “behind a rock with a coil of wire around his neck.”
Section 2: Monsieur Royer arrives in Tangiers from his sojourn in Spain. He is escaping “prudishness he so hated” and relishes the prospect of making casual sexual conquests Morroco. A sensualist, he revels in the scent of a jasmine garden. When a little boy persistently entreats him for alms, Royer delivers a violent blow to the child’s face. After a moment of regret, Royer approaches the stunned urchin, and in a fit of rage, strikes him again and departs indignantly, “considering himself a particularly understanding friend of the Moslems.” He arrives at the Callendar pension and checks in.
Section 3: Charlotte is en route by airplane from London to Tangiers. A dutiful daughter, she recognizes her obligation to visit her parents. Her relationship with her father is satisfactory: he recognizes her “as a fully formed individual.” Charlotte is deeply troubled at the prospect of facing her overbearing and controlling mother. She is torn between feelings of guilt and a desire to resist. She arrives at the pensione with apprehensions about an impending struggle.
Section 4: Mrs. Callender and Charlotte are seated in the dining room. Monsieur Royer, at another table, lingers over his meal and eavesdrops on their conversation. Mrs. Callendar makes no effort to introduce him to Charlotte. Mr. Van Siclen arrives from El Menar. He is introduced to Charlotte and acknowledges her “with a minimum of civility.” Mrs. Callender gushes over the archeologist. Charlotte’s assessment of Van Siclen is at odds with her mother’s: “He summed up all the things she disliked most in men: conceit, brashness, and insensitivity.” Her dismay at her mother’s apparent “denial of all values" fills Charlotte with a sense of guilt and rebelliousness. Mr. Royer suddenly approaches Charlotte and introduces himself. Mrs. Callendar is furious, but remains silent. After a few pleasantries, he departs. Charlotte is favorably impressed with “the French gentleman” but her parents assure her he is a man of low character. Mrs. Callender insists that Charlotte retire for the night. Resisting weakly, the daughter submits.
Section 5: Charlotte, unable to sleep, dresses and slips out of the house furtively. She encounters Van Siclen on the road. He remarks “I saw you come sneaking out.” She finds him offensive, but when he seized her by the arm and insisted they take a ride in his jeep, she acquiesces, not wishing to appear “a whining creature - a poor sport.” He takes her on a high-speed trip out of town. At a remote location, he tauntingly interrogates Charlotte as to her virtuousness. When she expresses disgust, he grabs her and bites her lip, drawing blood. He offers a handkerchief and chides her “Ah, it wasn’t as bad as all that…As a matter of fact, this ride was good for you.” Van Siclen drives Charlotte back to the pension.
Section 6: Charlotte rises the next morning and goes to the beach to swim and sunbathe. She does not inform her parants about the sexual assualt. She encounters Royer, who amuses her with pleasantries and compliments on her “mermaid”-like beauty, which Charlotte finds inoffensive. On an impulse, and desperate for advice on the assault, she asks: “Do you think it’s despicable for a man to kiss a girl against her will?” Royer utterly misapprehends the purpose of her query, believing it arises from disparaging remarks made about him by the guests at the pension. He answers the question: For a man to assault a girl “against her will" is “despicable”, but local peasant girls and women of the “lower class” deserve no such immunity. He politely but indignantly takes his leave, despite Charlotte’s heartfelt apologies. At that moment, Mrs. Callender appears, outraged at the proximity of Royer to her daughter. After Royer is gone, she launches into a tirade of denunciations against her daughter: “You’re thoroughly thoughtless and egotistical.” Mother and daughter engage in a protracted contretemps: Charlotte defending Royer, and Mrs. Callender assuring her that he will “ruin your life.” That afternoon, Charlotte defiantly joins Royer at tea, but her mother declines to intervene.
Section 7: Mrs. Callendar is obsessed with her daughter’s “infatuation” with Royer. She insists that he be dismissed from the pension, but Mr. Callender vetoes this draconian tactic. In desperation Mrs. Callendar enlists Van Siclen to entice Monsieur Royer to the excavation camp for several days to detach him from the pension. Van Siclen reluctantly consents. When Charlotte discovers Royer and Van Siclen’s departure, she is nonplussed. Her mother interprets this lack of reaction as contrived: “She’s rather a little sneak.” Next morning, Charlotte goes into town and accidentally meets Van Siclen. He adopts a proprietary and familiar attitude, accusing her of harboring “hard feelings'”due to her coolness towards him. She accepts a short ride from him. When Charlotte does not return for lunch, Mrs. Callender becomes concerned. She becomes hysterical when an employee informs her that she was with Van Siclen that morning, assuming her daughter is making contact with Royer. She orders her employee to drive her to the remote village of El Menar immediately.
Section 8: Mrs. Callender arrives at El Menar after nightfall. She confronts Van Siclen: “Where’s my daughter?” Momentarily alarmed that his assault on Charlotte had been exposed, he recovers and informs Mrs. Callender that Monsieur Royer is missing. He has made enquiries among the local residents, but nobody is talking. Mrs. Callender has a premonition that Royer has indulged in a pedophilic act. They depart for the pension. Royer is indeed nearby, in the company of a peasant child, and observes the departing vehicle. Moments later he is descended upon by local residents who kill him.

In 2020, Olufemi 'Femi' Hassan and Charlotte Holroyd are first year law students working with Roderick Tanner QC. Tanner recruits the two students to help him with a case appeal, which is due to go to court soon. Tanner had been involved with a murder case in 2018, and based on available evidence at the time, he assisted in convincing the prime suspect to plead guilty. However, new evidence has emerged, and Tanner now believes that the suspect is innocent. Tanner recruits Femi and Charlotte to help him solve the case with fresh eyes, and to bring justice to a potentially innocent person.
The 2018 case revolves around residents of the village of Lockwood. Two new residents - Samantha (Sam) and Kel Greenwood - are invited to join the 'Fairway players', an acting group created and lead by the wealthy Hayward family. The acting group includes Isabel Beck, a quiet woman who is Sam's colleague at the local hospital. The Hayward family consists of patriarch Martin and his wife Helen (lead actress for the group); Their two children, James Hayward and Paige Reswick; James' pregnant wife Olivia Hayward; Paige's husband Glen Resiwck; and Paige's two-year-old daughter, Poppy Reswick. The group also includes the Macdonald family, the Dearing family, and the Walford family, amongst others.
As rehearsals begin for the group's latest play, Martin announces that Poppy has been diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. The only form of treatment comes from an experimental drug from the United States, and costs are exceedingly expensive. The local community immediately rallies around 'A Cure for Poppy' (the family's charity appeal), and over a few months a number of fundraising events take place, including a ball and a charity marathon. However, suspicions arise as the appeal progresses - two beneficiaries are revealed to be fake, and the lead doctor involved with the case (Dr Tish Bhatoa) appears to be extorting money from Martin for the cure.
Over time, Sam grows increasingly suspicious of both the appeal and the Haywards - she begins to dig into Helen's past and suspects that her deceased son from her youth did not actually exist. Sam is also revealed to be one of the fake beneficiaries, which she created in order to learn more about the cure (something else that she suspects is fake). Sam's personal life also falls apart as Kel is revealed to be having an affair with Christine d'Souza, Sam and Isabel's colleague at the hospital.
At the group's final dress rehearsal, Sam confronts the Haywards and accuses Helen of fabricating her dead son. Sam eventually leaves the dress rehearsal and has a loud argument with Isabel before driving off. The following day, Sam does not go to work and she does not attend the first performance of ''All my Sons.'' that evening, Isabel finds Sam's body outside her apartment and calls the emergency services, saying that Sam fell from her fifth-storey balcony the day beforehand.
In the present day, Tanner reveals to Femi and Charlotte that Isabel was the original suspect who was arrested at the first trial. Tanner believes Isabel is innocent and tasks his students with analysing the evidence and piecing together the case. Femi and Charlotte summarise that the whole charity appeal was based on a lie; Helen Hayward suffers from Factitious disorder imposed on self, and she was tried from manslaughter when her first son died from health complications. After leaving America and starting a family with Martin, Helen's condition flared up again with Paige in her childhood and, eventually, Poppy. Martin started the appeal to cover for Helen and recruited Dr Bhatoa to fake the illness and save Poppy's life. However, on the evening of the dress rehearsal, Sam learned the truth from a researcher and called James Hayward to tell him the truth of his family's lies. James, already knowing the truth, met with Sam at her apartment and, after establishing that nobody else knew the facts, pushed Sam from her balcony. James was never suspected in the original trial since his twins were born on the same evening and he posted about their birth online, giving him a solid alibi (it is revealed that Olivia, his wife, covered for him and made the post under his name). Shortly after the court appeal, both Martin and James are arrested (the former for fraud, the latter for Sam's murder). Isabel is acquitted and writes an email to Femi, talking about her interest in pursuing a career in law.

As Sturphausen runs to attack him, Smith activates a sonic boom weapon in his helmet, which destroys Sturphausen and a small part of the parking lot. As Eagly stays alongside Smith, police cruisers are seen in the distance.
After the attack, Smith (John Cena) goes back to the apartment to retrieves his things, contacting Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) to explain the events and asking for help. As the police surround the area, Smith retrieves his suit, also discovering a mysterious device on the apartment. Harcourt and Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) arrive at the area to retrieve Eagly.
Detectives Sophie Song (Annie Chang) and Larry Fitzgibbon (Lochlyn Munro) enter the building, forcing Smith to hide in an apartment and briefly taking a couple hostage. As the police are about to enter their apartment, Smith jumps through the window to many balconies before a police force corners him. Harcourt arrives and uses a tranquilizer gun to incapacitate the officers, allowing them to escape. Song and Fitzgibbon give chase but they fail to catch them.
Economos (Steve Agee) then switches Smith's fingerprints at the crime scene with Auggie's (Robert Patrick), which leads to a police investigation. As the team meets to plan their next move, Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji) discovers that Starphausen attacked Smith after she read the dossier that he gave him on the Senator and angrily confronts him. Smith decides to go back to his trailer home, where he is greeted by his previous partner Vigilante (Freddie Stroma). Smith opens up about killing people for his job and Vigilante takes him to the woods for a shooting practice, lifting his spirit. Back at his home, Smith touches the device and finds that it turns into a miniature spaceship.
In order to avoid having Smith connected, Murn has the Adebayo bribe the hostage couple to fully identify Auggie as their attacker, leading to his arrest. At jail, Auggie quickly gains a good reputation among the white inmates, who call him the "White Dragon" while they praise him.
As the team prepares for their mission, they notice Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) watching them and force him to walk away. Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji) informs Smith (John Cena) that he must kill Senator Royland Goff (Antonio Cupo), suspected of being a "Butterfly". He is also instructed to kill his family, despite not enough evidence to suggest they might be Butterflies as well. Smith hesitates at the idea, despite claiming to kill anyone for "peace".
The team conducts a stakeout outside the Goff household, waiting for the family to arrive. The night falls and the family arrives at their house with Goff's bodyguard, Judomaster (Nhut Le). Murn pressures Smith to aim and kill the family but Smith hesitates, delaying the mission until the next day. The team also notices that his family is showing alien-like behavior inside the house. While surveilling the house, Vigilante shows up, having followed and watched the team since their arrival, forcing Murn to allow him to stay to avoid ruining the operation.
The family gathers at the dining room, where they put a liquid on their bowl before they reveal immense tongues. Certain that they are Butterflies, Murn orders Smith to kill them. Smith hesitates in pulling the trigger, so Vigilante puts him aside and kills Goff's family. However, before he can kill him, they are attacked by Judomaster. Judomaster manages to knock Smith and Vigilante out and takes them inside the house with Goff's help. As the mission falls apart, Murn and Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) approach the area and rendezvous with Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) outside the house.
Inside the house, Goff sends Judomaster away to inform the events of the night and then proceeds to torture Vigilante, unmasking him as Adrian Chase. Smith refuses to disclose any information, so Goff tortures Chase by electrocution. Murn, Harcourt and Adebayo enter the house, discover the entrance to the basement and plant an explosive, which detonates after a short delay. The explosion propels Smith to escape and fight with Goff. Smith recovers a shotgun and kills Goff, with a butterfly-like creature emerging from Goff's corpse. Outside, Economos (Steve Agee) sees Judomaster escaping and rams his van into his car and then incapacitates him. Back at the van, the A.R.G.U.S. computers show that thousands of Butterflies are suspected of being around the world.
The team takes Judomaster to their headquarters at the abandoned video store. As the team re-organizes, Smith (John Cena) and Chase (Freddie Stroma) drive to Auggie's house to recover more helmets.
After retrieving the helmets, Smith is told by his father's neighbor (Mel Tuck) that Auggie has been framed for his actions and is now in prison. Smith confronts Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji) about having orchestrated his father's arrest and despite his insistence, Smith decides to go visit Auggie in prison, although Murn asigns Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) to accompany him. In prison, Auggie is angered at the actions of his framing and intends to reveal Project Butterfly to get released. Outside, Adebayo and Chase talk about Auggie, with Adebayo suggesting that Smith would be better without him. Inspired by this, Chase gets himself arrested by throwing a trash can into a window in front of many police officers.
Smith and Adebayo return to the headquarters and discover that Judomaster has escaped. In the parking lot, Smith fights with Judomaster. As Judomaster is about to reveal vital information on the Butterflies, Adebayo shoots him in the chest. As Judomaster is once again restrained in the headquarters, Smith leaves for his trailer home. Murn discovers that Chase has been arrested and Abedayo might have suggested that he should kill Auggie. Economos (Steve Agee) hacks into the prison's database in order to release him. In prison, Chase meets with Auggie and his gang, trying to provoke him but Auggie does not fall for it and thinks Smith wants him killed. Chase is later bailed out and picked up by Harcourt (Jennifer Holland).
At his trailer home, Smith is haunted by the memories of people he killed, including his brother and Rick Flag. That night, Adebayo finds evidence regarding a company and calls Murn to meet with her. Murn agrees to meet her, but is seen consuming a liquid in a bowl with an enlarged tongue, revealing himself to be a Butterfly.
Murn () informs the team about the Butterflies, informing them that they infiltrate many humans to use them as hosts, including powerful people. Tensions arise between Smith (John Cena) and Economos (Steve Agee), after the latter framed Auggie (Robert Patrick) for Smith's crimes. Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) is told by Waller that she must place a diary in Smith's trailer home in order to frame him.
In prison, Auggie asks Detectives Song (Annie Chang) and Fitzgibbon (Lochlyn Munro) to take his fingerprints again to prove that he wasn't at the crime scene. After confirming their veracity and questioning the building couple, they realize that Smith was responsible for the events at the building. Privately, Murn meets with an old associate, Caspar Locke (Christopher Heyerdahl) for help. Locke infiltrates the police force as the new police captain and has Auggie's fingerprints linked to the crime scene, sending him back to prison. Despite Song's protests, Locke refuses to move with the case any further. Not giving up on the case, Song and Fitzgibbon ask Song's uncle, a Judge, for help in the case.
With Adebayo's new evidence linking the Butterflies to a bottling factory where the liquid is processed, the team raids the factory to kill the Butterflies. As the Butterflies overruns the team, the team is separated through the factory. During this, Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and Chase (Freddie Stroma) are attacked by a Gorilla named Charlie, also revealed to be a Butterfly. Smith joins to fight it but is brutally beaten. Suddenly, Economos manages to kill Charlie with a chainsaw, which earns him Smith's respect. Following this, the team quickly bonds together.
With his newfound confidence, Smith invites Adebayo to join him at his trailer home. Adebayo advises him that he should be more considerate to other people in order to feel respected, including with Harcourt. While Smith is in the bathroom, Adebayo plants the diary in the house before leaving. She returns to the headquarters, finding Murn working at his desk. She decides to put on Smith's X-ray vision helmet, which allows her to see Murn and realizing that he is a Butterfly. She tries to escape but Murn catches up with her.
As Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji) tries to calm Adebayo (Danielle Brooks), Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) arrives and reveals her knowledge of Murn's identity. Murn explains that the Butterflies came from a dying planet, and Goff Butterfly planned to dominate Earth. Murn resisted to the idea and took the body of the real Murn as a host. Economos (Steve Agee) is also aware of Murn's identity, but they keep it a secret from Waller. Murn wants to hurry with their plan before the Butterflies move "the cow".
Smith (John Cena) attends a school to talk about his "superhero" days, although he feels uneasy when he is questioned about his "origin story". He returns home, where he and Chase (Freddie Stroma) see that the Goff Butterfly is trying to communicate with them. Meanwhile, Auggie (Robert Patrick) is released from prison, with Song (Annie Chang) and Fitzgibbon (Lochlyn Munro) having obtained an arrest warrant for Smith, despite the objections of Locke (Christopher Heyerdahl). As he is picked up, Auggie states he will kill Smith.
Murn fails to warn Smith in time and the police arrives at his trailer home. Smith and Chase take the Goff Butterfly and Eagly and hide in the rooftop while the police discover the planted diary at his trailer home. Smith and Chase try to move through the trees but Chase accidentally slips, shattering the glass that keeps the Goff Butterfly. Song finds them but the Butterfly enters her body just as more officers arrive. Smith and Chase escape through the woods and are intercepted by officers, until the officers are killed by Locke. He hands them a car to escape and lies to Fitzgibbon about their deaths, also retrieving the fake diary from the officer that found it. The possessed Song, acting erratically, leaves the scene.
Tensions arise in the team as Smith complains about the fake diary and how Locke executed the officers, but Adebayo does not reveal her involvement. Economos traces the Butterflies' activities to Coverdale Ranch, where they believe the Butterflies are using a "cow" to mass-produce the amber fluid. That night, Song summons more of the Butterflies and guides them through the police station, possessing everyone including Fitzgibbon and Locke. At the same time, Auggie and his followers meet at his house where he decides to take on the suit for his "White Dragon" persona. Smith meets with Harcourt to express his discomfort with his new contract killing, and Harcourt herself states she does not view him as a bad person. After she leaves, Chase visits Smith and shows him a television report where the possessed Locke incriminates Smith with the fake diary and frames him for the murders.
The episode starts with a young Smith bonding with his brother Keith, before his father forced them to fight for their entertainment. After being mocked by Auggie (Robert Patrick), Smith brutally kills his brother, an event that still haunts him in present day.
Having discovered that Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) was responsible for planting the fake diary, Smith (John Cena) sets out with Chase (Freddie Stroma) to kill the cow that supplies the Butterflies with the amber fluid. As Economos (Steve Agee) tries to make sense of the situation, he reluctantly joins them. Meanwhile, Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) confronts Adebayo for planting the diary, also finding that Waller was her mother. Meanwhile, Judomaster (Nhut Lee) has escaped the headquarters and while at a grocery store, is mocked by two customers. When they exit, he brutally attacks them and steals their car.
As Smith, Chase and Economos drive to find the cow, their car is rammed by Auggie, wearing the "White Dragon" suit. As Smith and Economos flee into the woods, Chase detonates a grenade that slightly damages Auggie's suit before hiding as well. As Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji) tries to mend things between Harcourt and Adebayo, their meeting is interrupted when the police force arrives at the building. As Harcourt and Adebayo hide in the hallways, Murn decides to sacrifice himself by killing some of the officers before he is killed by Song (Annie Chang), who also kills the Butterfly. Harcourt and Adebayo comfort the Murn Butterfly before it dies. Suddenly, Judomaster finds them and attacks them, but is once again beaten and incapacitated.
After losing Auggie and his followers, Smith and Economos meet with Chase and flee in a car. However, they realize that Chase took a bag of helmets in the bag, all of which are equipped with a GPS tracking unit. Smith tries to dispose of them but the followers already found them. Auggie arrives, mortally wounds Eagly and brutally attacks Smith, intending to kill him. Chase then jumps onto him and disables his suit functions, allowing Smith to strike back and confront him for forcing him to kill his brother, but hesitating in killing him. Auggie mocks him, so Smith kills him at gunpoint.
Smith, Chase and Economos meet with Harcourt and Adebayo at a veterinary clinic. Adebayo finds Smith praying for Eagly's health, who suddenly wakes up in front of Smith. With Murn dead, they decide to appoint Harcourt as the new leader, who discloses that they need to stop the Butterflies from teleporting the cow, with their main mission being killing the cow. The team then sets out to go to the farm where the cow is kept. While driving, Adebayo tries to apologize with Smith, but he dismisses her. He also claims that when the mission is over, he doesn't want to see her ever again. At the farm, Song and the possessed officers tend to the cow, revealed to be a massive multi-eyed insect.
With the threat level of the Butterflies, Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) contacts Waller to ask for a back-up team, including the Justice League. Waller informs her that it is very unlikely they can get there in time.
As the team arrives outside the farm, they settle on having Eagly carry a detonator. Smith (John Cena) hands Eagly his sonic boom helmet, but Eagly drops it away from the farm. Smith tries to find the helmet, but is haunted by a hallucination of Auggie (Robert Patrick), who taunts him again. Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) witnesses the "encounter", seeing Smith arguing alone. They eventually find the helmet, but realize they must place it themselves inside the farm. Economos (Steve Agee) is chosen to infiltrate the farm and place the helmet, as he is the only one that wasn't seen by the Butterflies.
Economos freely walks through the farm and descends to the farm's underground base. He is horrified to see the cow and leaves, leaving the helmet inside. As he is leaving, a Butterfly discovers his identity and the Butterflies chase him. The team activates the helmet's detonation, leading to many explosions in the farm. Smith, Chase (Freddie Stroma) and Harcourt then enter the field and kill most of the Butterflies. Seeing that Song (Annie Chang) is descending for the cow, Smith follows her while Harcourt and Chase kill the rest, but both are mortally wounded in the fight. With Economos also hurting himself, Adebayo is forced to enter the field and kill Butterflies, also preventing one from entering Harcourt's mouth. Provided with an X-ray helmet, Adebayo joins Smith in the underground base.
After Adebayo fails to properly use the helmet, Butterfly-Song decides to spare Smith and show him the cow. She wants him to help them with their plan in transporting the cow. She explains that they moved to Earth from their dying planet, intending to survive with the cow. The Butterflies eventually concluded that humanity would also go extinct after failing to ensure their survival, preferring to prioritize profit. She wants him to join them, but Smith instead activates the helmet once again, launching Adebayo into it using his human torpedo helmet. Smith kills Locke (Christopher Heyerdahl) and shoots Song's body, sparing the Goff Butterfly. He and Adebayo meet with Chase and Economos outside, finding the wounded Harcourt and Smith carries her through the field. The Justice League finally arrives, only to be told by an angry Smith that they arrived too late.
The next day, Harcourt, Chase and Economos are admitted into the hospital for their injuries. In the waiting room, Smith questions whether he made the right choice by having the cow killed but is comforted by Adebayo, their friendship amended. Adebayo then holds a press conference, clearing Smith and Chase, exposes Project Butterfly, the involvement of Task Force X and exposing Waller (Viola Davis) herself. She then returns with her wife Keeya (Elizabeth Ludlow), while Harcourt wakes up and Economos returns to work at Belle Reve. Judomaster (Nhut Le) discovers the massacre at the farm and cries. Back at his home trailer, Smith feeds the Goff Butterfly with the last of the amber fluid. In another hallucination, he is joined by Auggie in the entrance.

The story is a naval romance set on a version of the planet Venus that is largely covered by water. Cities are built in underwater domes known as "Keeps", while warfare is prosecuted under strict rules by surface ships and submarines crewed by mercenaries known as Free Companies. The surface of Venus is uninhabitable due to the Sun's ultra-violet radiation, which leaves the mercenaries with dark skin tans compared to the pale Keep dwellers. The introduction to the story casts it as an ancient legend from the early colonization of Venus.
Captain Brian Scott is a member of Doone's Free Companions, allied with Montana Keep. They are mobilized to counter an attack by Virginia Keep. Like all such, the object is to extract a war indemnity payable in "korium", an energy source. Scott, who is second in command to Commander-in-Chief "Cinc" Rhys, must muster his men and ships while dealing with the possibility of ending his career and living in a Keep, tempted by the hedonistic lifestyle, personified by a woman, Ilene Kane. His dedication is further tested when, returning from negotiations with Mendez, commander of an allied Free Company, his boat wrecks and he must trek through the deadly Venusian jungle with a raw recruit who happens to be Ilene's brother, Norman.
The battle hinges on the Doone's massive "monitor", the ''Armageddon'', which has enough firepower to destroy an entire fleet, but is too slow to be effective in quick engagements. Monitors also have a tendency to capsize, which leads the Doone Company to mount a deception by covering the superstructure with a fake keel. Rhys is killed in the initial exchanges of fire, putting Scott in command. His ship is then hit, leaving him at the mercy of Mendez and Bienne, a jealous subordinate. Either could kill him and take command. Instead, they save him and transfer to another ship. The enemy then approaches too close to the ''Armageddon'' and is defeated when the deception is revealed.
Scott, while disillusioned by the senseless conflict, rejects the temptations of Keep life for the idealism that will one day conquer the surface of the planet and render the Keeps obsolete.

The Hundred Isles and the Gaunt Isles have been at war for centuries. Because the Scattered Archipelago contains very little plant life and no wood for ships, their warships are made from the bones of sea dragons called arakeesians. The arakeesians are apparently extinct. No more ships can be built, leading to a war of attrition. White ships are used in traditional battles, while black ships are crewed by condemned prisoners expected to die in battle.
The Hundred Isles has a matriarchal society in which citizens are valued for fertility and beauty. Women who survive childbirth and bear healthy children are elevated to Burn class. Healthy men may become Kept concubines by the Burn, but those with birth defects or other undesirable traits are relegated to lower castes. The firstborn healthy child from each family is sacrificed, and their soul is used to make a “corpse light” to light a white ship.
Joron Twiner is the son of a poor fisherman. Even though he has no birth defects, his mother died in childbirth and Joron is considered to be from a weak bloodline. Joron kills a man in a duel to avenge his father’s death. The man’s father, Kept Indil Karad, uses his political connections to ensure Joron is sentenced to serve as the shipwife (captain) of the black ship ''Tide Child''.
Aboard ''Tide Child'', Joron spends most of his time drinking instead of training his crew. “Lucky” Meas Gilbryn is the disgraced daughter of Thirteen Burn Gilbryn, leader of the Hundred Isles. She wins command of ''Tide Child'' in a duel; Joron becomes her Deckholder, or second-in-command. Tide Child is badly damaged during a battle with raiders. He sails to Bernshulme, capital of the Hundred Isles, for repairs.
In Bernshulme, Karad reveals that a living arakeesian has been spotted. Karad and Meas both want to end the war with the Gaunt Islanders, though for different reasons. Capturing the arakeesian would provide enough bones to create warships for another generation, so they plan to escort it to a remote section of ocean and kill it so that the bones cannot be salvaged. ''Tide Child'' obtains a special cargo of poisoned crossbow bolts with which to kill the creature. Meas assembles a crew of criminals, bodyguards, and sailors from her previous ship. ''Tide Child'' also carries a gullaime, a humanoid bird-like creature who can control the wind. Karad sends a spy named Dinel to become part of the crew; despite his conflicted loyalties, Dinel and Joron become friends.
Unbeknownst to most of ''Tide Child's'' crew, Meas secretly works with black ships from the Gaunt Isles, ''Cruel Water'' and ''Snarltooth''. (The crew believes that they are traveling with two black ships from the Hundred Isles instead.) They spot the arakeesian and defend it from raiders, raising the crew’s morale. During the fight, the gullaime exhausts its supply of energy and becomes “windsick”, falling into a coma.
Raiders hold control of towers on Arcanis Isle and Skearith’s Spine, a mountain range that divides the Gaunt Isles and Hundred Isles. The raiders will use the towers’ crossbows to kill the arakeesian once they spot it, so Meas plans to kill the raiders and destroy the towers. ''Tide Child's'' crew lands on the island. The gullaime is recharged by the island’s windspire. It assists ''Tide Child's'' crew with destroying the towers, allowing the arakeesian to continue its journey unharmed. After touching the windspire, Joron develops a supernatural connection to the gullaime. The gullaime also reveals that it can speak with the arakeesian.
Meas reveals her full plan to the crew, who support her. As they pass into Gaunt Isles territory, they engage with white ships from the opposing fleet. Meas sends the survivors from her Gaunt Isles allies to meet with other rebels while ''Tide Child'' continues north to follow the arakeesian. ''Tide Child'' passes back into Hundred Isles territory. He is chased by ''Hag's Hunter'', a white ship captained by Meas’s sister Kiri. ''Tide Child'' is defeated, but the arakeesian sinks ''Hag’s Hunter'' before Meas can surrender.
Dinel tries to kill the arakeesian with the poisoned bolts. The gullaime tells the crew that more arakeesians will appear. Meas refuses to kill it, stating that her goals have changed.

The protagonist (male or female depending on player choice) receives a letter sent in 1963 from an elderly man known as R. The letter tells them that they are in danger and that they must go to the Mortlake Mansion. Upon entering the mansion, the protagonist is locked inside with seemingly no escape. They then begin searching for an exit, while also attempting to uncover the secrets of the mansion. The protagonist then finds two notes from R. inside the mansion. The first one tells the protagonist to find various crystals hidden in the mansion, since they have the ability to open portals to another dimension. The other note is a lost excerpt from R's diary, which reveals that R. entered the mansion in search of books about magic, as well as the lost manuscript from the legendary occultist Cagliostro, known as the "Book of Shadows". The protagonist then finds one of the aforementioned crystals and uses it to open a portal to another dimension.
The protagonist goes through the portal and finds themselves in the eerie "Shadowy realm". A raven then comes flying through the window, and the protagonist finds a book which tells them how to brew a "voice potion". After brewing it, the raven drinks the potion and gains the ability to speak, and it tells the protagonist to find the Book of Shadows. The two then enter the shadowy laboratory, and find the book sealed in a magic bubble. After breaking the seal, the protagonist grabs the book and suddenly an evil, ghostly man flies into the room, grabs the book and begins ripping all the pages out of it. The man then leaves, and the protagonist picks the book back up, finding only one page remaining. The page shows the ingredients necessary to create a special key. The raven tells the protagonist to find all the scraps remaining from the book, and use them to piece all the pages back together. It also tells them to find the ingredients shown in the book to create the magic key. After finding all the ingredients, the protagonist then enters the shadowy hall, and places them in an altar, creating the key. They then use the key on one of the six locks on a giant metal door in the room, causing one of the locks to be removed. Doing this also repairs the main hall in the regular dimension, and allows them access to the second floor of the mansion. The raven then drops another diary entry from R, where it is revealed that being in the mansion was slowly causing R. to lose his vitality.
The protagonist then goes to the second floor and finds all the scraps necessary to piece together the second page of the book, the page yet again shows how to create another key to the metal door. After entering the shadowy version of the upstairs bedroom, the protagonist finds another diary entry from R. which reveals that only those who have Cagliostro's blood can activate the portals. The protagonist then finds a spirit hiding the shadowy bedroom, and he promises to help the protagonist if they can find his cards. After finding the spirit's cards and giving them to him, he states that this will help the protagonist find a way out of the mansion, however to no avail, since someone stole all of the spirit's power. He then tells the protagonist to run before their strength gets stolen too, and the spirit vanishes. The protagonist then gets the ingredients and creates another key, and uses it on the door. The key proceeds to open another lock on the door and repairs another room. The protagonist then finds another diary entry from R. which says that "the heart of the house" can give magical abilities to ordinary people, and now R. himself has become a magician, this leads the protagonist into believing R. was the evil man who ripped apart the Book of Shadows. The protagonist creates another key from the Book of Shadows, which opens another lock and repairs another room. The protagonist then has to create a regular key using wax, and upon doing this, the spirit appears and steals the key, saying that he has to obey the evil man's command. The raven appears yet again and tells the protagonist to summon the spirit and release him from the evil man's control. The protagonist creates another key and uses it to open another lock and repair a room.
The protagonist then finds another diary entry from R. which says that his magical abilities are running out, and that he needs to find the "central crystal" in order to bring Cagliostro's creation under control, the protagonist then decides that they need to find this central crystal. The protagonist then creates another key and uses it. The protagonist then summons the spirit and releases him from the evil man's control, and they ask the spirit where to find the central crystal, to which he responds saying that's it's located in the shadowy living room. They spirit then floats away. The protagonist goes to the shadowy living room and grabs the central crystal. The protagonist then finds a diary entry from R. which says that R. has found an "escape route". It's revealed that R. used his magical powers to transform into the raven, however it caused him to lose a large portion of his memory. R. then sent a letter to Cagliostro's last descendant (the protagonist) saying that they must come to Mortlake Mansion. However, Cagliostro's descendant was still too young, so the letter wouldn't arrive until many years in the future. The protagonist now believes that R. is evil for sending them to the mansion. The protagonist then finds R. in raven form, and the two begin arguing and eventually R. flies away and drops another note. The note says that everything is Cagliostro's fault and in order to defeat Cagliostro, the protagonist must build a machine that can charge the central crystal, and then use the crystal to destroy Cagliostro's creation.
The protagonist is then stopped by the evil man, who reveals that he is Cagliostro, and that the protagonist is his last child. The protagonist now believes R. and realizes that he wasn't lying. The protagonist then creates another key and uses it. The protagonist then finds the components needed to create the machine, and then they also find the final key needed to open the metal door in the shadowy hall. The protagonist then builds the machine and charges the central crystal with it. The protagonist uses the final key and the door fully opens, the door then leads them to the heart of the house, then the protagonist places the now charged central crystal on a statue of a hand, and engages in one final battle against Cagliostro. After completing the battle, Cagliostro says that the protagonist has yet again been deceived, and that they just gave him the power he needed. Cagliostro proceeds to charge up an attack to kill the protagonist. However, R. flies in and sacrifices himself to kill Cagliostro. The mansion and the protagonist is then sucked up into a black hole in the sky. However, on the other side of the black hole, the mansion is then rid of it's magic powers, and is now restored back to a normal looking mansion, and the protagonist's vitality then returns to normal.

The Seven Days of Man is a novel tells the story of the child Abd al-Aziz who is the most important element in the extension of the life cycle in which he moves within a village family, whose care giver belongs to a Sufi group inside the village. The critics call this type of novels "Genesis novel", which is a type of novel with special characteristics that are only present in famous novels like "Emotional education" for the French writer Flaubert, which is a story that talks about a hero who falls in love for the first time, moving from the world of childhood to the world of adolescence, which does not end except at the verge of manhood or the completion of youth. When Abdel Mohsen Badr wrote about Abdel Hakim Qassem’s novel in his book “The Novelist and the Land” in which he studied “The Seven Days of Man”, he drew attention to the novelist’s relationship with the village, and how a generation differed from another in making the village a fictional subject. This focus seems to have made the critics pay attention to this aspect, including Dr. Muhammad Badawi, who was preoccupied with the impact of socio-economic change on the novel. After that, studies proceeded in this direction, in which Muhammad Badawi continued to describe the novel that it revolves around a Sufi group of marginalized people in the village. This understanding prompted the novelists to ask: Does the novel really revolve around the village? And the novel really does revolve around the village, but through a specific perspective which is the perspective of the writer who writes about his childhood and upbringing and opens his awareness of the world within a village, and the formation of his religious awareness increases through the group that was led by his father.

''Mary Ward'' is separated into four sections. The first details Ward's early life living with her family in Mulwith, West Riding of Yorkshire, England throughout her childhood and early life, up until she decides to join a monastery in northern France. During this period, she goes to live with her grandparents and meets her aunt Martha as well as Martha's servant, Meg. Martha takes Mary to get her fortune told by a fortune teller, who says that Mary will travel to foreign places during her life. Then, she receives news that her younger brother has been born, so she returns to live with her parents. As she grows older, Mary starts to dream of becoming a nun, while her parents begin positioning her for marriage. Eventually, Mary's father decides that she will marry Edward Neville, heir to become the Earl of Westmorland, but Mary refuses, and after her two aunts are arrested and convicted in the Gunpowder Plot, she leaves England and joins a monastery of Poor Clares at Saint Omer in northern France.
The second section describes Mary's life in the monastery. Mary meets Father Keynes, who directs her to the Poor Clares monastery, saying that "God has decided [on a convent] for you." However, she quickly realizes that she isn't well-suited to life at the convent, as her days become dull and fatiguing with little time for real spiritual contemplation. On Visitation Day, Mary receives an audience with the General Commissioner, who rules over the convents in Flanders and northern Germany, and she outlines to him a plan to create an English-speaking Poor Clares convent, to better benefit English-speaking nuns. Over the next several weeks and months, she helps direct the establishment of the new convent, and eventually, the project is completed. However, section two ends as Mary then receives a sign from God and realizes that she must leave the monastery.
The third and longest section begins with Mary returning to England and her family, and going back to normal life. She soon finds herself surrounded by a group of friends, including Winefrid Wigmore, determined to travel with her wherever she goes and support her endeavors. With their encouragement, Mary decides to take her friends with her back to St. Omer and, using their help, starts a Catholic girl's school. As she reveals to Winefrid, Mary plans on creating a women's institution for apostolic ministry similar to that of the Society of Jesus. The venture becomes successful, but it is also met with much controversy, as many believe that women are not cut out for missionary work. To try and acquire the sanction of the Holy See, which would grant her institution legitimacy, Mary decides to go to Rome and request an audience with the Pope.
Mary and her companions make the perilous journey to Rome on foot and arrive on Christmas Eve. Mary receives a Papal audience, but her requests go nowhere and eventually, she opens a school there, so that the Church can examine her work and thus verify that it is legitimate. Mary, along with a few other companions, then journeys across Europe to, among other places, Naples, Perugia, Munich, Vienna, and Prague, establishing schools as she goes. Because of her extensive travel on foot, Mary's health increasingly deteriorates, and at times she approaches the brink of death. She also continues her appeals to the Catholic Church that her schools be sanctioned, but is unsuccessful in her attempts, and many continue to be hostile to her, saying that her institutes are "nothing more nor less than heresy in disguise, a self-glorification of women, . . . a contempt of authority, dangerous exaltation, and a mania for spiritual adventure." Mary finally returns to Munich, but there she is greeted with a warrant for her arrest for being a heretic, schismatic, and instigator of revolt. Thus, she is imprisoned in a convent and because of this, her health begins to slowly decline. Mary is, however, able to continue contact with the outside world thanks to coded letters written with lemon juice as invisible ink.
Eventually, Mary receives an opportunity to write to the Pope and, acknowledging her fault and asking pardon for her offenses, requests to be set free. After a few weeks, the answer arrives from Rome, ordering that Mary be immediately released, which ends section three.
Section four chronicles Mary's final journey to Rome, return to England, and death after the beginning of the English Civil War. In Rome, she establishes a house for English refugees of the civil war and stays for some time in their company, but as her health continues to get worse and Mary realizes that she is dying, she decides that she wants to be buried in England. After traveling back to her home country, she settles in Heworth, near York, while the war continues around them. There, Mary dies, surrounded by her followers.

Dr. Wolfgang Schlitz, a "gentleman of leisure" with an exaggerated mustache visiting New Hampshire on a holiday from Obergurgl, arrives by car at the foot of Mt. Washington to find the road is closed, though there is no snow on the ground. Since his chauffeur cannot drive him to the top, he ascends on foot dressed in wool pants with spats and a tyrolean hat. For gear he carries only an umbrella and a sticker-covered suitcase containing alcohol and other supplies. Wooden signs warn of hazardous conditions, but he continues up the trail.
As the temperature drops, Schlitz opens his suitcase to pull out his windbreaker but finds that his chauffeur has packed a fancy coat instead. A playbill for the Metropolitan Opera falls out of the pocket, prompting a surreal daydream of a ballerina among the boulders. The mist grows hazy and Schlitz becomes lost. He soon collapses from exhaustion and wakes to snowfall. Continuing his ascent along the tracks of the cog railway, he reaches the observatory at the summit but is told by the attendant he must stay in Camden Cottage, from the windows of which he watches the sun set.
In the morning Schlitz buys a pair of skis and looks for snow, though it exists only in patches. Skiing between rocks, he accidentally drops his suitcase and chases after it. Soon he encounters the "Mad Monk of Mt. Washington," who constructs a makeshift dummy of a female skier and sends her off a cliff, luring Schlitz perilously close to the edge.
Schlitz catches up with his bag, but soon drops it again into a river of snowmelt. Catching it and dropping it multiple times, he eventually fishes it out of the plunge pool of a waterfall, where he finds the suitcase broken open but the bottle of liquor intact and has one last drink before discarding it. Schlitz attempts to approach two young female hikers but they ignore his clumsy advances.
Meanwhile, the Monk is on the trail ahead of Schlitz, eating bananas and tossing the peels on a bridge and on a set of stone steps. Schlitz slips and loses consciousness.

An example of what Lessing called "inner space fiction", the novel contrasts Watkins's fantastical accounts of his own semi-mystical hallucinations – including being adrift on a raft in the Atlantic and flying through outer space – with the doctors' and nurses' increasingly draconian attempts to sedate and "cure" the patient.

The novel opens with a look ahead: the narrator feigns illness to avoid the case worker Mrs. Mash from the Crib Adoption Agency, who wants to question him about the Pooles suitability as parents. Knowing Augie as he does, he fakes losing his voice, causing his wife Audrey to summon Dr. Vancouver. The doctor can't find anything wrong and suggests stress. After he leaves, the narrator thinks back to when he and Audrey first met the Pooles at a cocktail party. (From this point the action proceeds in chronological order).
At the cocktail party the narrator meets Isolde Poole. He is fascinated and likens her in his own mind to Joan Fontaine. Isolde tells him a story from her acting days. The narrator is bemused and incorporates her into his usual fantasy, centered around a cabin in the Maine woods called Moot Point, since the legal title to the imaginary location is in doubt. She is not the first woman he has mentally transported to this hideaway, which constitutes his sole act of infidelity to Audrey. In passing the narrator also mentions meeting Augie, who made no impression on him.
Invited to dinner at the Poole's house, the narrator and Audrey are embarrassed to realize Augie is the "A. Poole" whose cartoons he has been rejecting in his capacity of Art Editor for ''The Townsman''. Isolde uses their discomfiture to announce she has listed them as references for adopting a child. As Augie shows the narrator his studio in the converted loft of a barn, he confesses that the property was purchased for them by Isolde's grandmother, on whose bounty they also survive. Told his cartoon ideas would fetch a high price for themselves without the drawings, Augie declines to be a "gagman".
Back home, Audrey and the narrator try to ready their four children for a visit by Mrs. Terkle, case worker for the Rock-a-bye adoption agency. Maude, the oldest, is acquiescent, but Marco and Phoebe are iconoclasts with their own agendas, and Ralph is incapable of staying neat and clean. The narrator has little authority over his progeny and the visit by Mrs. Terkle does not go well. As time goes by, Isolde wonders why they don't hear back from the adoption agency. When she goes to visit her grandmother, Audrey and the narrator witness Augie's unsuccessful attempt to pickup a woman at an outdoor party. Later the narrator chides Augie, who confesses his serial infidelity since marrying Isolde.
The local PTA asks the narrator to write a skit for a benefit. He obliges, and offers to play the male lead, as Isolde has been asked to play the female lead. Ernst Mills directs the play, cutting the narrator's lengthy script down to five minutes. While the rehearsal is delayed, the narrator notices Augie sidling up to artist Cornelia Bly, who is doing the scenery. The two of them begin an affair. In time, Augie paradoxically feels guilty for continuing to sleep with his wife, as a betrayal of Cornelia.
Audrey takes the kids to visit her parent for several weeks, leaving the narrator to attend a party alone. There he meets Terry McBain, a young writer trying to sell articles to ''The Townsman''. The narrator encourages her, not revealing he is married. They start a romance, but the narrator's guilt feelings about Audrey and his kids cause him to take it slow. He helps her sell an article to ''Reader's Digest'', but they decide not to see each other again.
Cornelia Bly has become pregnant and the announcement triggers a belated moral epiphany in Augie. He decides to sell his cartoon ideas, which the narrator buys for other cartoonists to turn into drawings. Augie presses the narrator to give the money to Cornelia and persuade her to put the baby up for adoption. She agrees to turn the baby, once born, over to Rock-a-bye adoption agency, since they have rejected the Pooles for lack of steady finances. Isolde learns Augie has been earning money from selling his ideas, which she knows he was loath to do. She is bouyed up by his change as she interprets it to mean he is ready to earn a regular income as a gagman.
Events have now caught up to the prologue with Mrs. Mash. Augie tells the narrator that Isolde has resubmitted an application to Rock-a-bye since the Pooles now have a regular income. The narrator tries to warn Cornelia by phone to not use Rock-a-bye, but fails. Rock-a-bye informs the Poole's they have a baby for them, and both couples go to pick it up. Augie faints at the sight of his newborn son, which bears a strong resemblance to him. As months go by and the infant looks more like Augie, Isolde becomes suspicious. He finally breaks down and admits the baby is his, at which she throws him out of the house. However, a few weeks later Isolde discovers she is pregnant. The Poole's reconcile, and the narrator finds he no longer needs his fantasy daydreams of Moot Point.
